What You Sée Is, Is What You Get, What You Read Is What You Know & Save — Eastern North Carolina’s Minority Voice — —) } .f (yA A ele Heat GREENVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA 27834 wey THURSDAY JANUARY-34-21, 1988 Tony Brown’s Buy Freedom campaign held first general meeting on January 22nd The Eastern North Carolina Business Network, Greenville- based member organization of Tony Brown's Buy Freedom campaign, held its first general meeting Friday, January 22 in the Greenville Middle School Cafeteria. But Freedom is a con- cept originated and developed by Tony Brown of ‘Tony Brown's Journal"’ for the purpose of en- couraging their members, black businesses, to patronize each other. ‘Focusing on Black Network- ing’’ was Friday night’s theme, and Muhammed Nubee, CEO and Founder of Earth Fragrances of Raleigh, was the highlight of the evening. A Raleigh native, Nubee gave the fifty member audience his account of his company’s beginnings. From March 1984 to December of that same year, this multi-level marketing business grossed over $1 million is sales after starting with an initial in- vestment of only $500. Nubee recalled spending all his free time while working for the state (NC) full-time planning business in his living room floor. ‘ Nubec spoke of success as ‘for- ward progress that you want to makei'"’ He called the black business Owners present ‘suc- cessful’ because they had open- ed their own business. The purpose of Nubee’s presen- tation was to forewarn en- trepreneurs, both actual and potentia), of some of the pitfalls entailed in strating a business. Nubee warned us to anticipate our company’s growth, to have plans to accomodate such, and that failure to under-capitalize can create problems as well. He stressed the need to ‘focus’, and the Need for a ‘lot of persistence and... preserverance.” Nubee mentioned how some people say that you need to be an MBA before you start a business. ‘If your desire is big enough, you'll learn everything you'll 2 ae a “10 of. ‘ ry 8g 5 J ‘3 Pike . ~ ~' OT reds PRESIDENTIAL HOPEFUL .. . Presidential Candidate Jess need to know", he encouraged. He emphasized ‘cultivating your desire’ to succeed and having faith in your effort. Attitude was also discussed, The ‘power of" one’s ‘own think- ing’’ was explored. He continued, ‘Meet each problem as a challenge. Look for the oppor- tunity in that situation (problem) for growth. Every problem has a solution.” He advised that ‘We all have potential.’’ We must ‘learn to be creative, imaginative ... Let yourself go! Don’t be afraid to brainstorm, Come up with the avenue to get you where you want to be.” And at last, Nubee concluded by calling us, Afro-Americans wealthy people. Looking at our statistics on our buying power, and recollecting our heritage, he is right. A question and answer period followed discussing financing, overcoming high and low periods in your business, acquiring ap- propriate professional services — accounting, banks, attorneys — on your company’s level. Members of the audience represented many facets of black businesses — computer and ac- counting services, industrial maintenance, day care, ctc.; pro- fessionals from varied aspects of our community as well as knowledge seckers, and students from Greenville, Farmville, Kinston, Ayden and Bethel. Refreshments were served and duor prizes given.

Last year, for example, Rocky Mount’s Cub Scout Pack 628 col- lected $263 for the telethon in a neighborhood canvass. ‘That was a great example of healthy children doing something for less fortunate children,” said Sunder. ‘We think that is impor- tant.”” : Nelson and Sunder, both Greenville residents, are urging groups to register their event as soon as possible so air time can be set aside on the telethon.

Two motel restaurant operators were absolutely opposed to any change of policy in regard to their segregated practices. As of February, 1964, the motels were still undecided as to what to do. At one point three motels were ready to desegregate according toa plan, but one withheld and at a later date that motel voluntari- ly permitted a desegregated din- ner in its restaurant. This situa- tion remains confusing. It is felt by the Committee that a very serious error may have been made by us'ng an all-white sub- committee in working with the motels. Two restaurants desegregated, and three have been isolated incidents of Negroes eating in normally segregated facilities. On October 10, 1963, the United States Air Force Band rendered a concert and stayed in motels all over the City with its Negro members. The same subcommittee met with the board of directors of the Greenville Merchants’ Associa- tion in July, 1963, to discuss a petilion by the Progressive Citizens’ Council. As a result of this meeting the board of direc- tors immediately published a resolution stating that they en- couraged all merchants to adopt nondiscriminatory employment and service practices. This subcommittee met with the City Council in regard to the petition by the Progressive Citizens’ Council. As a result of this meeting, the City Council im- mediately issued a resolution ; HONORED GUEST ... Shown at the American Legion have | through the local newspaper stating that it endorsed non- discriminatory employment and service policies and enpowered the Mayor to establish a Good Neighbor Committee. In September, 1963, the Green- ville Ministerial Association desegregated its membership. The subcommittee met with the city officials and county of- ficials and accomplished the hir- ing of Negroes and _ the desegregation of city facilities such as the hall and the cour- troom of the Pitt County Courthouse. Prior to the birth of the Inter- racial Committee, there were desegregated facilities in the County. Most prominent of these were East Carolina College, the Municipal Library, and the Coun- ty Health Department. The Pitt County Interracial Committee as a whole is active- ly engaged in a public relations and educational venture. It is ac- tively seeking opportunities to speak to civic clubs, church groups, and others. The Commit- tee secks to commit responsible people of the community to responsible action. The co- operation with this program has been most encouraging. East Carolina College desegregated quietly over the past years and now has some 60 Negroes enrolled, including a number living in the dormitories. The college has served as a great public example of how desegregation can be ac- complished and how fruitful and beneficial the results can be. Building recently the REv.

Dansey, Presi- : dent of WEDCO Enterprises, Inc., indicated he could provide more productive leadership for the community based on his past service. Dansey was quoted as saying, ‘Most of our needs and a lot of our problems boil down to two basic issues: jobs and education. I do not feel that we have had ade- quate leadership from our senator in enticing better jobs in- to the area covered by the Ninth District which encompasses parts of Pitt County, Martin County and Beaufort County.” The Shoe Outlet 201 West 9th St. Next door to Evans Seafuod Dirty Buc Sizes 5 to 12 - 1st Quality Others by: e Allen Edmonds (large sizes) e¢ Bostonian e French Shriner © Bali e Topsider (Factory Returns) ias Belted 8,000 MILE | now‘ 26.97 | 29.00.

He further com- mented that: ‘Since the Governor has been in office, we have add- ed an additional 26,000 jobs in the state. We are currently one of the seven states being considered for the Super Collider, which would not only have a great inpact on the northeastern part of the Raleigh metropolitan area, but would have a carry over effect in- to eastern North Carolina.” Education is another of his con- cerns. He stated that: ‘While the basic education plan is a step in the right direction representing a commitment to improve our system, the manner in which it is constructed is basically ill- conceived. The dollars spent could be better utilized by eliminating some of the ad- ministration cost and concen- trating more on instilling the pro- per values and motivation in our students, prior to them reaching the 5th and 6th grades, which is considered a point of no return. North Carolina’s basic education program does not address the fact that we have a 26% illiteracy rate. Only 13% of our students at- tend college, and local industry has trouble finding entry level personnel.” Dansey indicated he sees no way to finance the basic program without additional taxes, due to the annual $627 million price tag, which he does not support. Dansey, a 1963 graduate from East Carolina University, is a member of the East Carolina Board University of Trustees, serving on the Athletic Commit- tee, Medical Affairs Committee, Student Life Committee, Development Committee and the Beautification Committee. He has served on the staff of three of the last four Presidents. Dansey was the founder of the Pitt Coun- ty Young Republicans, was past District Republican Chairman and served on the Greenville Ci- ty Council in the early 1970's. He has also been active in the Greenville Jaycees, receiving their Distinguished Service Award and a recipient of the State Freedom Guard Award for Outstanding Achievements in the area of community, religious, and governmental activities. He also was the past President and Chairman of the Pitt County United Way and past President of the Tarheel Little League. Dansey is married to the former Diana Nobles, from Washington, North Carolina; and has two children, Trey and Courtney. Child find project is underway An effort is underway in Pitt County to identify children and youth ages 0 through 21 who are handicapped and need special education and other services. The local efforts to identify children and youth are part of a concentrated effort statewide to find children who need special help which they are not current- ly receiving. Project Child Find is also an endeavor to inform parents and/or guardians of these children of the services available from their local school system and other state and community agencies. Help is available for children with special needs, according to Lowell Harris, director of the Department of Public Instruc- tion’s Division for Exceptional Children. This help is in the form of a complete evaluation, an education program designed specifically for the child (in- dividualized education program) and a referral to other agencies which provide special services. Project Child Find is looking for children and youth who have been diagnosed or are suspected to be mentally, physically or emotionally handicapped and are unable to benefit from a regular ‘school program without spe¢ial assistance. ° Harris and Dr. Edwin L. West, Jr., local superintendent::of schools, encourage anyone who knows a child or youth who may be handicapped and is not:in school or receiving special assistance to urge the parent/guardiay to contact any of the following :'superintendent, exceptional children program ad- ministrator, principal or the State Department’s Division for Exceptional Children. : ‘We need the he children and youth who coold benefit from special services,” Harris added. ‘Without this help, some handicapped child may not be found and the right to a free appropriate p education. is the right of e school-age child.” - For more information, call the Division for Exceptional Children » of all the citizens in this effort to find at (919) 733-3004 or CARE- a te, Every child is & winner ‘Every Child A Winner’’ is the name of a National Program that is funded by the National Diffu- gion Network (NDN) and is part -of the United State Department of -Educations Exemplary Pro- -gram. This physical education ‘program is an individualized movement education program providing mainstreaming and daily success experiences for all elementary children regardless of mental or physical ability. The program has been implemented in 49 states, Canada and the Virgin Islands. Pitt County will be the first school system in North Carolina to receive inser- vice training in ‘Every Child A Winner’. In 1969, Martha Owens, a con- cerned member of the PTA in Ocilla, Ga., in the Irwin County School System, wrote the ‘Every Child A Winner’’ will improve fitness and motor skill while also enhancing academics, Mrs. Owens said. ‘The most important thing we do is make children feel good about themselves.”’ Mrs. Owens said the program ‘design provides developmental movement experiences for children centered on themes of space awareness, body awareness, quality of body move- ment and relationships. These themes are taught through creative games, creative dance and educational gymnastics. The project slogan ‘Every Child A Winner’ finds expression through the discovery to reach their personal potential, and win- ning occurs as each child does his i or her best. Traditional physical education deals primarily with manipulative and locomotor skills such as jumping, hopping and skipping which virtually eliminates many physically han- dicapped children. This program deals with diversity and without discrimination. Teachers are trained to accomodate the ex- tremely athletic as well as the handicapped. Cancer Society's Dinner/Auction will be Feb. 27 The Greene County Unit of the American Cancer Society decid- ed to once again sponsor a Din- ner/Auction to help raise money to fight cancer. The exciting event is scheduled for February 27 at 7:00 p.m. in the Greene Cen- tral Cafeteria. Final plans are be- ing made and local merchants will be contacted during January for auction items to be auctioned by Greene County’s own Ben Rayford. Tickets for this event are a $10.00 donation and went on sale January 6. Tickets can be pur- chased from all Board Members and from the following businesses: in Snow Hill, Horton, Crutchfield and Hulbert Law Of- fice and Children’s Corner; and in Maury at Redwood Garden Center. The Unit’s first Dinner/Auction was held in 1985 and netted over $1,800.00 profit. In 1987 the second ~Dinner/Auction netted $2,759.00. ‘The Board hopes to have more ‘itmes for auction and a larger at- tendance in 1988. The overall goal for'the 1987-88 Crusade Campaign is $13,200.00. This money will be ‘raised through special events such as this Dinner/Auction, Fun-Run in the spring, memorial “gifts, cookbook sale, the annual ‘residential campaign in April and ‘Sénd a Mouse to College. “ Watch this paper for more in- ‘formation about the events plann- .. ‘ed by your Greene County Cancer ‘y' Society.

ADV. ADM. $7.00 — AT DOOR $8.00 — CHILDREN (Under 12) $3.00 Teeth support each other. When one tooth is missing, it can upset the other teeth. These teeth seem to twist and drift out of place because the full support is not available. This is why it is so im- portant to replace missing teeth in your mouth even is it may not be obvious to your appearance, Teeth are usually replaced in three different ways, each usual- ly depending on the patiences’ preference, the number of teeth that are missing, and the condi- tion of the remaining teeth. These replacements are dentures, par- tial dentures, and fixed bridges. Implants (surgical placement of teeth in the mouth) are also becoming very popular in replac- ing missing teeth. Dentures are recommended when a person has lost: all of his/her natural teeth. Even though dentures replace all teeth, don’t ignore your regular dental visits just, because. cg eee i don’t have any natural teeth 4 gum: :tissue under the denture changes as the person ages. These changes can result in a poor fitting denture causing sore spots if the denture is not adjusted. A partial denture can replace as few as | tooth and as many as 27 teeth. This appliance can be removed from the mouth by the patient. You may find it necessary to remove it after eating to rinse your mouth of food particles. A fixed bridge on the other hand is not removeable by the: patient. It is connected 1-4 teeth in one specific area. This is a rather expensive procedure but by.far the most practical if your remaining teeth will support a fixed bridge. Keep in mind that all of your teeth serve a purpose. If you have any that are missing, consider one of these options to replace it. Not only will replacing missing teeth keep your smile beautiful, it-will also keep the rest of your teeth in the spaces where they belong! Ginger C.

Volunteers from the community will be paired one-on-one with an adolescent parent, These men- tors wil serve as role models, facilitators, and friends to these teen mothers. The role of the volunteer is somewhere between that of a surrogate parent and a big brother/big sister. Volunteers will be trained prior to being assigned to teen mother. Project PARENTING staff will provide support and guidance to the mentor throughout the pro- gram. Volunteers will be ex- pected to give at least two hours of their time each week. A brief orientation meeting will be held on the dates listed below. An overview of the program will be given during this meeting. In- terested individuals will be given the opportunity to sign up to serve as mentors. Attending the orientation does not obligate anyone to become a volunteer. We welcome any additional input from community individuals on organizing the mentor program.

Please consult the person you want to speak for your organiza- tions or auxiliaries and get his ap- proval before you place his name on the program. For this name to there ‘unaware’ shows poor planning and taking control or ex- erting one’s authority. This pro- cedure tells the public that the guest is either negligent or is over commmitted. No one should commit himself to a task before checking his schedule. On the ‘spur of the mo- ment’ action, many times, results in a conflict, which is damaging to the program or to the person’s self-esteem. By simply applying the Golden Rule, ‘do unto others as you’d have others do unto you” makes life pleasant, avoiding conflict. Saleem Enterprises td.
