NC SCLC on the move—both local & statewide The president of the NC State and Pitt County Branch of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference called a meeting Saturday, June 18, of all local chapters in the state to discuss issues of interest that concern each of us in some way or another as Black people. The meeting was held in Raleigh at the Com- fort Inn Motel. The meeting opened with prayer by president, Bennie Roundtree, followed by an in- troduction from each person at- tending. Then he asked for a pro- gress report from each attending Chapter concerning their plans to help future goals become a reality. Persons from Trenton explain- ed that they had been concerned about roads and highways. . that this goal had been ac- complished and now they are working with some employment problems to improve human dignity. They talked at length about their concerns, about these matters, and what could be done to accomplish their goal. The Charlotte Chapter explain- ed that their concern was (Continued on page 3) Ineligible Votes Cast In Garrett-Dupree Race Irregularity Found In Pitt Commissioner Voting By JOHN BARE Reflector Staff Writer Records from the Pitt County Board of Elections show 22 Republican and unaffiliated voters were allowed to vote in the May 31 Democratic primary runoff for a seat on the Pitt County Board of Commissioners from Con- solidated District A. After a June 21 county board hearing to hear complaints of election ir- - regularities, the elections board checked the race, sex and party of the voters in the primary runoff and found that 18 Republicans and four unaffiliated ‘voters voted in the Garrett-Dupree race. Only registered Democrats were eligible to vote. D.D. Garrett of Greenville defeated James H. Dupree of Bethel by two votes — 1,171 to 1,169 — but after a recount and a hearing by the county election board neither candidate has been certified as the winner. a fe ma - : , MOTHER AND FAMILY ... the Family Reunion of Mother Rosa Bradley took place this year at her son’s home off Highway 11.

The number to call is 757-3756 or 757-0425. The county board ruled that election irregularities cited by Dupree were significant enough to affect the outcome of the election, and it sent the findings to the state board for action. Garrett appealed the decision, and the state board is scheduled to hear the case Friday at a meeting in Raleigh. The county board’s. information check does not indicate whether people voted for Garrett or Dupree, but an attorney involved says the irregularity is probably glaring enough for the state board to order a new election. Neither candidate has filed a formal comp/aint regarding the error, but the state board may address the issue Friday. Garrett’s attorney, David F. Kirby of Raleigh, said he did not think the previous complaints filed by Dupree were significant enough to affect the out- come of the race, but the new finding that ineligible voters participated is significant. Taft being considered for committee chairmanship Senator Tom Taft, D-Pitt, is be- ing considered for one of the two top Senate appropriation com- mittee chairmanships according to a NEWS AND OBSERVER ar- ticle which appeared last week. The Lieutenant Governor serves as the President of the Senate and makes committee appointments. Senator Tony Rand, D- Cumberland, who is running for the State’s No. 2 post, has said he is conidering Taft to chair either the Base Budge Committee or the Expansion Budget Committee. ‘‘T knew that he has been con- sidering me for one of the top ap- propriation positions,’’ said Taft, who declined to comment on his discussion with Rand. “It’s the most exciting thing to happen since I’ve been in the Legislature because it means I would have a remarkable oppor- tunity to help my district and the State.” “‘T’m honored to even be con- sidered and pleased for my district. I don’t think there has ever been a top appropriations committee chairman from Pitt County in modern times.” Taft announced support for Rand’s bid for Lieutenant Gover- nor early in the primary and feels that the prospects of having a Senator from Eastern North Carolina chair a top appropria- tions committee should en- courage area voters to support Senator Rand for the Lieutenant Governor position. Senator Taft is running agains Bill Dansey of Greenville in his bid for re-election. For Taft to land one off the committee chair- manships, he must retain his Senate seat and Rand must defeat Republican Jim Gardner in the race for Lieutenant Governor. “The two positions are clearly the most important positions of power and influence in the Senate, more important than the President pro tem or the Chair- man of Finance,”’ said Taft. Taft who is 42 and running for re- election to his third term as Senator in the 9th Senatorial District, which includes Pitt, Beaufort and Martin Counties, would be the first Senator to chair either of the top co.nmittees so Photo by Jim Lamm ; Having a number of people vote who were ineligible to vote is a problem,” e said. The state board has already ordered new elections this year in Hyde County and Surry County in close races where Republicans and unaffiliated voters participated in the Democratic primaries, said Johnnie McLean, ad- ministrative secretary for the state board. She said news of ineligible voters “‘probably is a good sign’”’ there will be a new election in Pitt County. About 18 percent of the blacks eligible to vote in the primary runoff par- ticipated, while about 42 percent of the eligible white voters turned out. Kirby predicted black turnout would increase dramatically if there is a new election and that Garrett would win easily. (Continued on page 3) SERVICE WITH A SMILE .. .

Holloman went to prison for the murders of her husband and a Selma businessman. On Friday, June 24, Ms. Holloman graduated summa cum laude from Shaw University in Raleigh. Ms. Holloman, serving two con- current life sentences, was one of three inmates who recieved bachelor’s degrees in behavorial science through a program at the “NC Correctional Center for Women. Six other women earned associate of arts degrees. “At one time in my life, I thought that life was really negative,”’ Ms. Holloman, 44, said in an interview. ‘I honestly thought there was no hope, especially for someone in this en- vironment,”’ “Now I’ve come to realize that with an education, I can set goals and do what I want in life,”’ said Ms, Holloman, who earned a 3.9 grade point average and several awards. The graduation ceremony marked the first time that state inmates have earned four-year ¥ degrees within prison walls. Along with Ms. Holloman, Dean T. Darroch and Barbara J. Williams received bachelor’s degrees. Sherry K. Bright, Cecelia W. Gray, Susan P. Laws, Amanda Penley and Gwendolyn F, Wharton received two-year associate degrees. In a ceremony at the correc- tional center attended by about 60 people, mostly from the prison and university, the inmates were praised for their dedication. Shaw’s president, Talbert 0. Shaw, told the graduates that their experience was like a long road with curves, bumps and hills. “The circumstances that brought you to this institution were curves, or breaks in the equipment,” Shaw said. ‘‘Today, you are saying to the world that you are repairing that equip- ment,” The degrees were awarded through the Center for Alter- native Programs in Education operated by Shaw.

About one of every four Americans has elevated blood pressure for CHD. High blood pressure is believed to contribute to CHD by damaging the walls of the arteries, making them susceptible to plaque formation. There are other uncontrollable risk facors for CHD. These are: 1) Aging . . . Older people are more likely to have CHD than younger people. 2) Male Sex... Men are at greater risk for CHD than women. 3) Family History . ..

From-+ The Kellogg’s Company, 1988 CIRRHOSIS is scarring of the liver that usually results from alcohol abuse or chronic viral in- fections. It is the ninth leading cause of death among US adults, killing about 20,000 people an- nually. Until now, doctors treating cirrhosis have been able to do little except encourage pa- tients to stop drinking. Don’t forget to buckle up! One of the biggest threats to your heart is right under your nose. REDUCING BREAST CANCER RISK Women who eat a typical American diet high in meat and low in fiber may increase their risk of breast cancer by raising the level of estrogen in their bodies. Breast cancer is by far the most common form of malignan- cy among US women. It causes an estimated 37,000 deaths an- nually. In the US, the incidence of breast cancer is 20 percent to 40 percent lower among vegetarians than among women generally. COLOR YOUR LIFE The color of your clothing says everything about your personali- ty. In fact, by wearing certain colors you can exert powerful in- fluences on others, ladies: RED indicates you are a real go-getter with self-confidence to spare. You’re highly competitive and goal-oriented. Wear this col- or to give off that feeling. YELLOW gets others to think you are independent, optimistic and enjoy companionship. GREEN is somewhat tricky. It sends out a dual message. It tells others that you are law-abiding, follow rules and regulations. It also convinces others that you are critical in your thinking. But be careful: It makes others feel you are slightly arrogant. BLUE, on the other hand, creates a more down-to-earth im- pression.

Do men have monthly cycles like women? According to the en- docrinologist Dr. Estelle Ramey, professor at Georgetown Univer- sity Medical School, ‘Men do have monthly cycles. The evidence of them may be less dramatic, but the monthly changes are no less real.’’ All living things — humans, plants and animals — have time cycles. In humans they are biologically represented in a metabolic process that is our rhythmic nature, which is cyclic. By Rosetta Reitz, New Woman The first thing to know about hot flashes is that they are harmless. They pass quickly and are nothing to be afraid of. Usual- ly they last from 15 seconds to a minute, sometimes up to two minutes. They vary as much as in size, shape and intensity as women do. Just as no one can describe a ‘‘typical’’ menopausal woman, so, too, there is no such thing as a ‘‘typical’”’ hot flash. The term ‘‘male menopause’’ has come into recent usage, in spite of the laughs it gets. However, the word “‘menopause’’ is indeed applicable to men just as it is to women. Men go through menopauses, even though they don’t menstruate, for it is more the combination of life’s cir- cumstances that occur around the age of 50, sometimes beginn- ing as early as 40 for some, that creates the condition labeled Bass ¢ Nunn Bush & Others Reg.

DINNER TABLE TOGETHERNESS To improve family com. munication, revive the dinner hour as a ritual in your home, suggests a San _ Diego psychologist. To make family mealtime a positive experience, Gary Lawson, PhD of US Inter. national University suggests: 1) Eliminate distractions (turn off the television,, unplug the telephone). 2) Avoid unpleasant business, such as doling out punishments or discussing bad grades. 3) En- courage children to speak up and participate. 4) Without being totally inflex- ible, try to stick with a designted dinnertime.

Records show nine Republicans and one unaffiliated voter were allowed to vote in the Carolina precinct, four Republicans and one unaffiliated voter were allowed to vote in Bethel, one Republican and two unaffiliated voters were allowed to vote in Greenville No. 1, two Republicans were allowed to vote in Greenville No. 3 and one Republican voted in Belvoir and in Greenville No. 2. Of the Republicans who voted, 16 are white, one is black and one’s race is listed as ‘‘other.” Of the four unaffiliated voters that voted, one is white and three are black. Dupree carried Carolina, Bethel and Belvior by large margins, and Garrett handily carried Greenville precincts No. 1, 3 and 5. Hopetuy we'll address it Friday. WHat effect this is going to have on the outcome? This I don’t know,” Garrett said. ‘We'll point out the election did go down racial lines. It stands to reason those folks did vote for Mr. Dupree; proving it is the big job. If the Republicans did (vote for Dupree), that would just increase our margin.” Dupree’s attorney, James A. Nelson Jr. of Greenville, has asked for a new election since the recount, and he said the state board may order a new elec- tion because of the ineligible voters. “The state board could always skip all the hoopla in this race and say, ‘We're not going to give Mr. Dupree a new election based on his complaints, but we're going to give him a new election based on Republicans voting in the primary,” Nelson said. *T’m sure it has happened before, but it has not been a number to this extent that I know of,” said elections Supervisor Margaret Hardee of Greenville. “If one or two (Republicans or unaffiliated voters) voted and the vote dif- ference was bigger, it wouldn’t matter,” Mrs. Hardee said. “It would not have been a sufficient number to cast doubt, and the board would have made a judicial notice of it, but no action would have been needed — unless there wag. more involved than carelessness.” Garrett has complained that the county commissioner race has ‘highly racial,” but Mrs. Hardee said the error that allowed people other than registered Democrats to vote was probably an inadvertant mistake caused by carelessness by precinct workers. Voters are supposed to state their name, address and party when they enter the polling site, she said, but when voters know precinct workers personally, they sometimes do not follow procedure. “Somebody didn’t do their work at the polls; it’s as simple as that,” Kirby said. “It’s very clear Republicans were not eligible to vote.” Sally Glisson of Stokes, registrar for the Carolina precinct, said as far as she knew no one other than registered Democrats voted in her precinct in the May 31 primary runoff. The error also occurred in another race. A statewide Democratic primary runoff for a seat on the N.C. Court of Appeals was also on the ballot May 31, and 11 Republicans outside of Consolidated District A were allowed to vote in the race, but the margin was too great to affect the election.

They had worked hard with the school to broaden the scope of education and get a better understanding as to what the teachers expected from the students so that the parents could be in a better posi- tion to understand and help their children with home assignments. They said that our children need to be more serious about their school work so that they can bet- ter understand how to pass various tests. They were en- couraged to believe they had achieved their goal and helped to develop a very good wholesome parent-teacher and student relationship. The president of the Pitt Coun- ty Chapter discussed a mult- interest, such as concerns about school districts, education, voting, crimes, drugs, etc. He ex- plained that these things were not the concern in the Pitt County area, but throughout the state. “We need to be aware of these problems and prepare ourselves to do all we can to help get such, out of our community.” He talk- ed about starting a membership drive throughout the state, to call a news conference to advertise the project. We decided to let the committee set up goals and plans to initiate the drive. Then each chapter could follow through of planned procedure. Another ma- jor concern was planning the NC State Convention for the upcom- ing year. Representatives from the Trenton Chapter volunteered to host the State Convention next year. The final major interest was the discussion of the National Convention which will be held in Washington, DC, August 23-27. This includes a March on the Capitol in memory of the death of Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. Plans and arrangements for a bus are being made for all in- terested persons to attend this convention.

Ms. Dixon was traveling South on NC 11 and attempted to make a left turn onto RP 1108, an in- tersection near Ayden Grifton High School.

Medical Sonography will be a division of the PCC Radiologic Technology Department accor- ding to Garrie Moore, depart- ment chairman. Moore said that the clinical instruction for the program will be taught primari- ly at Pitt County Memorial Hospital and the East Carolina University School of Medicine as well as surrounding area hospitals. Jessica Davis, BSRT, RDMS will be the Sonography Program Coordinator and Lyn Jacobson, RT, RDMS will serve as the Clinical Coordinator for the program. Ms. Davis explained the. primary functions of medical sonography as follows: “Sonographers specialize in the application of high frequency sound waves to image internal body structures. Our students will learn ultrasound techniques for the OB-GYN patient, ab- domen, and echocardiography. Most young females who have had children in the past few years are familiar with the use of ultra- sound to monitor the growth and development of the baby, but most people are not familiar with the numerous other ultrasound procedures that physicians re- quest as a part of the diagnostic process,” Ms. Davis said. “Our graduates of this pro- gram will be qualified to work in hospitals, clinics, and in physi- cians’ offices with ultrasound equipment. This is a new, but growing career with excellent salary opportunities,” she added. “Support the Advertionss of PL nl ial vores ae aii "1501 bickbesanl as AVE.

As cheerleader for “the city, he’s forged an unprecedented alliance between black voters and white money By Art Harris The Washington Post ATLANTA N THE EVE of the Democrats’ invasion, Mayor Andrew Young, 56, sits cool as the sweet iced tea he’s ordered to wash down his plate of fried chicken, salad, turnip greens and corn bread at Paschal’s. It’s lunchtime in Dixie’s boom town, so how about a little dessert? Joo Cullipher “We got some deee-licious homemade peach cob- bler, dahlin,’” coos Orah Bell Sherman, hostess for 25 years at the historic motel-restaurant that once served free chicken to civil rights demonstrators fresh from jail. That was long ago, before they grew up to prosper as power brokers like Andy Young and could afford to pay. “You have any low-calorie ice cream to go with that?” he winks. ‘Good Lord will bless you for it.” Then he sighs, fishing for absolution as he pats his natty dark gray suit, blue shirt and silk tie. “Now you know why I’ve got a weight problem.” “No! You look wonderful!” says Sherman. Recall- ing a sermon the minister-mayor delivered at her church, she adds, “People are still talking about it. You said it so sweet . . . about your problem with your wife...” “Jean,” laughs the mayor, “squeezes the tooth- paste in the middle, and I like to roll it up from the bottom. Now we got the pump, our marriage is saved.” Heading into his eighth and last year as two-term mayor (law forbids a third) with his eye on a run for governor (an office no black has ever held), Young still dives head first into controversy. Just like poli- tics, he says, “‘it’s the little things that cause tensions in a Marriage.” So go the “‘little things” nettling the countdown to Convention ’88, as city work crews scrape pigeon droppings from prominent statues, hang banners and scurry outside the Omni Hotel to finish paving. And party officials and PR barons fret about room counts, caterers, protesters, nightmare traffic — how the city will come off to 15,000 reporters at the first political convention ever held here.

Nor is he sweating over a midnight Jesse Jackson blowup over Michael Dukakis’ choice of a running mate, or party disarray. The nominee, he insisted in the days before Sen. Lloyd Bentsen (D-Texas) was chosen, earned the right to pick his own copilot. Young was among the few national black leaders who resisted jumping on the Jackson bandwagon. It was a coolness, sources say, dating back two decades, to the hours after Martin Luther King Jr. was mur- dered in Memphis — when some believed Jackson was exaggerating his personal ties to King. Young, who was a top King lieutenant, now says, “Everybody was upset and acting a little crazy in those days.” And he waxes upbeat about Jackson. “You gotta give Jesse credit for keeping the party together up to now,” he says. “You haven’t heard any talk of a ‘third party’ since Jesse’s candidacy. All the dissident elements on the party’s liberal side have rallied behind him and he’s kept them in the party, like he did in ’84; and in ’86, he kept them behind some good Senate candidates.” But their split over the best strategy for black America remains. Jackson touts a unified black vote behind him as the ticket for change. Young believes it’s crucial that black support be divided among all candidates, Bush included, so blacks won't be locked out “like under Reagan,” if the Republican wins. “Before his campaign started, I said, ‘Jesse, we don’t have any disagreements on the issues, but I don’t think it’s wise for everybody black to be in the (Continued on page 9) BILL BROWN lf You Want A Good Deal... _..

You might be ps presi- dent, but there’s just as much poasibility that some- body else is.going to be president.’ “I thought it important we never find ourselves as a people in the position we found ourselves in under Reagan, where nobody black, nobody Hispanic, no- body Asian and not many Jewish people, either, had any input into the process.” How did Jackson respond? ‘‘He said, ‘I guess you see yourself as a sort of a roving linebacker pluggi the holes on defense?’ And I Said, ‘That’s a good [anal- ogy], Jesse, and I don’t have any problem seeing you as the quarterback on the offense.’ ” s¢ Andy Young remains a yirtual Dial-a-Quote of candor on a host of national and international topics. As Atlanta’s second black mayor, he’s played cheer- leader for a superheated local economy, forging an unprecedented alliance between black voters and white money and capitalizing on his own celebrity to herald Atlanta’s arrival as the third fastest-growing metropolitan area in the United States. “It’s been fun,” he says of his years as mayor. Young is not’:ing if not a salesman, a dreamer who draws raves from the white business establishment for his vision «1.d fewer hurrahs for his yawns over details of government. Defending his sojourns abroad severr] years bcu:k, he dared anyone to show him a pothcie that required filling and said, “I'll fill it my- self, There are sc few of them that I can make the promise.” ‘ Astounded w 1en 70 phone calls flooded City Hall switchboards, hi: donned blue overalls aid a hard hat to pitch gravel into holes for the camerss and make good his promise to take care of the “details” of gov- ernment. It was a public relations cou:., and Young kept right on travelirg, a mayor with a foreign policy and a yen for foreign lands. “What we've been trying to do is not just sell At- lanta as a place to invest, but as a gateway for the hing World to come and purchase American goods,” e Says. HE SORT of vast Dixie Casbah that he conjures has yet to emerge. Yet, Chamber of Com- merce figures show $52 billion in outside capital either invest- ed (or planned) in the 18-county metro area over the last five years ot Young’s tenure. But the question remains: Like Dukakis ard the ‘(Massachusetts Miracle,” how much credit shuld Young get for the boom? How many jobs did lis trips bring in? “That’s hard to say,” he shrugs, buttering a roll as he praises uinmy Carter “for opeving an office in Jayen” as givernor and former governor George Bush, “who still travels with me even though he’s out of office. I wouldn’t dare claim all the credit.” Backstage at the Lost Colony For the first time in more than 50 years, The Lost Colony reveals some of its secrets with the in- troduction of backstage tours of the Waterside Theatre, home of America’s longest running out- door drama.

Owens Jr. is an ex- | tremely unorthodox delegate to the Democratic National Convention for at least two reasons. One, he is not sure he’s comfortable playing the political game. “Most of it,” he says, “is B.S.” Two, he’s trying to collect unem- ployment compensation while learn- ing a new trade—as a floor sander and finisher. His application is tied up in paperwork. He was fired—“just miscommunica- tions,” he says—from his job as a com- munity organizer for the Crown Heights Neighborhood Improvement Association on April 12, a week before his election as one of 95 state dele- gates committed to Jesse Jackson. Not only did he win, he received 25,938 votes, the most for any candi- date on any Jackson slate in New York State. “T can explain that,” he says. “I think people confused me with Major Owens.” ioe Major Owens, no relation, is the highly visible three-term Demo- cratic congressman from the same central Brooklyn election district in which Thad Owens ran so well.) Actually, Owens, 43, went into the ens, who was expelled from one coi- lege and who dropped out of another before trying a variety of jobs that he found unsatisfactory for various rea- sons. His resume would fill a couple of primary with three useful but} untested assets. One, he had been active in perma affairs for several especially in housing. Two, his father is a state Su«. preme Court justice in Brook- lyn. And three, perhaps most important, his name was No. 5 on the first of five com- peting Jackson slates in the district. “You know,” Owens says, ‘people usually just vote for the first five names they see. They don’t do a lot of hunting around.” Certainly, Campaign °88 i marks a turning point for Ow- ATTENTION Greenville Utilities’ Customers Sorry for the Inconvenience Due to renovations, our Drive-thru window will be closed indefinitely.

It includes some notable highs—he rar. on the Wingate High School relay team that won a national track cham- pionship in 1961; later, he was a foot- bail star at Pace University. It also includes expulsion from jJoward University in Washington ~ during his sophomore year—‘‘too many D’s,” he says, and too many run- ins with the Southern blacks who dominated campus life. “The funny thing is,” Owens says, “I went there to get a black slant on life.” Later, after he dropped out of Pace, he tried several jobs briefly, from IBM to the Bowery Savings Bank—and dur- ing the summer worked at a couple of Jewish camps. He even spent a few months with a management company owned by his father. “He asked me what I would do with the company,” says Owens. “I told him, ‘Close it.’ I don't know if it was the advice, but he did close it.” CHANT for housing One community interest is the group Crown Heights Africans Networking Together (CHANT), which made headlines last year with demonstrations to demand, among other changes, better housing.

DELEGATE'S DIARY “The changes in my life I made for myself, not because somebody else wanted it,” he says. “It’s like changing underwear. You don’t change it for other people. You change it for your- self.” An impulse, inspired by a commit- ment to what Jackson was saying about drugs, housing, crime and edu- cation, got Owens into politics. He didn’t know what to do, so he called Major Owens’ office and some- body there told him where to file an application. About three weeks later, the state Democratic Committee told him that he qualified as one of 24 can- didates for Jackson in the district. Even as a candidate, Owens says he steers clear of conventional politics. ‘I’m not a politician,” he says over and over. “I’m a community advocate who has to deal with politicians.” He made only one formal campaign speech-—at a candidates’ night where, he remembers, voters almost were outnumbered by candidates. “We were supposed to introduce ourselves and say why we wanted to represent Jesse,” says Owens. “All I said when I got up was, ‘1 want to aa- dress the issue of housing, and I think MONICA A’ ¢ ZIDA DAILY NEWS I have a talent for rallying people. He felt confident about his chances, because of his place on the slate. “Ev- erybody told me I was in,” he says, “and I believed them.” Since the primary, Owens has at- tended one fund-raiser, to help pay his expenses in Atlanta. He figures he raised ‘a couple hundred” dollars, with promises of “a couple hundred” more. He needs all the help he can get—he is paying all his own ex- penses. Pin ’em down The convention parties he’s invited to are fine, says Owens, but he plans to talk up his No. 1 issue. “I hope to get the housing issue across,” he says, “even if I’ve got to pin people down to say what I want to say.” And after the convention? “I'm sticking with M.L. Mastercrafts (a Brooklyn floor sanding and finish- ing company),’’ Owens says. “Tm training to become a partner.” As for politics, Owens isn’t saying. A friend thinks he is hooked on politics and may even challenge state Assem- blyman Clarence Norman (D-Crown Heights) when Norman comes up for reelection. “Well, I’m always trying to learn new things that I can build on,” Ow- ens says, “and believe me, this last year was a real learning experience.’ For All Your Advertising Needs .. .
