But, he promises, underlining the political pep talks will be the hard-driven theme of building a black sup port base in the state "The rally will be specifically geared to our support base,” says Grear. “Black people need to come together to reaffirm our committment to black candi dates." Grear, who has said that blacks should not vote for a can didate Just because that candi date is black, pushes the idea of having a rally to showcase only black candidates. But he denies the assumption that this is a contradiction The parading of the black can didates before the participants of the rallies, Says Grear, is the means of "black people becoming aware. that there are black candidates out there.” According to Grear, the NCBLC 1s a non-partisan Bed ey .

It will, however, be a means through which the N.C. black electorate will learn how many black candidates are running for office, what they are running for, and who they are. The spotlight will only be on N.C.’s black candidates. "This will not be the appropriate time for other candidates to make their pitch to black voters,” says Grear. In keeping with {ts non- partisan stance, the rally will not support either party's candi- dates. On the contrary, Grear hopes to get across to the black participants the idea of using licket-splitting for the benefit of the black community. If the rally accomplishes this purpose, says Grear, "ticket- splitting will not only be coming from the white community come November. We're strongly urg- Ing the practice among the black voters. “The black agenda has to transcend party.

This article contained several false statements which should be corrected The article indicated that the female involved was employed atthe time ofthe incident by the Pitt County Sheriff's Department, that Sheriff Tyson witnessed the event, and that the female victim was fired from the sheriff's department for trying to obtain a warrant against the personrespon- | sibleforthedamage.These_ | allegations against Sheriff Tyson and the Pitt County Sheriff’s Department are absolutely false and with- out basis. The facts are that (1) the female involved was not employed by the sheriff’s department at the time of the incident, (2) Sheriff Tyson did not witness or have any knowledge of the damage as he was in his office when the damage occurred, and (3) the fe- male was not terminated for seeking a warrant as she was not employed by the Department. Sheriff Tyson has the re- sponsibility and duty to investigate alleged im- proper activities involving county-owned vehicles and on-duty sheriff's employ- ees. He would certainly take proper action to ar- rest any person committing a crime in his presence. Sheriff Tyson would not terminate an employee for seeking warrants against criminals who had dam- aged personal property.

(Photo by Jim Rouse) NC Board of Elections: Runoff primaries may discriminate CHARLOTTE (AP) -- In a mul- ing that paves the way for the president of the state NAACP to Challenge primary runoffs in court, The N.C. Board of Elections has ruled that the runoffs may discrim- inate against blacks, while stop- ping short of declaring them unconstitutional. "We agree that operation of the second primary has some adverse effects," state elections board Chairman Robert Hunter said Thursday at a hearing in Charlotte. “Although we may disagree with a particular law or like a particular law ... we don't have the authority to declare a statute unconstitution- al," Hunter said. State NAACP President Kelly Alexander is the first person to formally challenge the 73-year-old second primary law in North Car- Olina, long criticized as hurting the cuances Of black candidates. “Either politically or judicially, this is going to be settled in the next few years," said elections supervisor Bill Culp. "The runoff primary is seen more and more as an anachronism, (part of) the Reconstruction South." Under the law, if no candidate wins a majority in a primary, the top two finishers proceed to a runoff. Nine other Southern states have similar laws. Alexander, who is black, led the May 3 Democratic primary for Mecklenburg County register of deeds, but lost a runoff to Judy Gibson, who is white. The board also handed a partial victory to Ms. Gibson, declaring her the Democratic nominee in the Nov. 8 race for register of deeds. Alexander had asked that Ms. Gib- son's Certification be withheld. "She's certified and can mun, and that's what we wanted,” said Gib- son's attomey, Ray Farris. Alexander wouldn't say whether he would appeal the state board's ruling Or file a lawsuit in the case. He said he would wait to see the State board's written opinion, expected as early as next week. “We're going to wait and read what the actual order says," said Alexander, who worried that board members may back down from their stance Thursday.

On March 5, 1975, weighing in at 602 pounds, he had an intestinal by- pass operation. It was successful —for a while. By 1979, he was down to a lean 149 pounds. “But in less than a year’s time, I was back up to 502 pounds,” he recalled. Determined to shed the girth from his 6/2” frame, Smith checked into a Pensacola, Fla., hospital in 1981 and had his stom- ach stapled. From 1981-to-1982, he dropped from 502 to 325 pounds. The weight loss was steady until the staples came loose in 1988 and from then until 1987, he ballooned to 885 pounds, an all-time high. After reading about Gregory’s suecessful diet formula in JET, Smith said he asked his brother Bobb, who knows Gregory, to contact the self-taught nutrition expert on his behalf “Y ‘ already lost 154 pounds on Mr. Gregory's formula,” he said with a sense of accomplishment. Gregory, too, is optimistic. “I have no doubt I'll be able to help him. The secret is that he'll be helping himself” Gregory told Jet in an Interview. Gregory said he is ready to spend 13 months and $300,000 to help Smith get back in shape. Once Smith is on a strict diet regimen and becomes ac- customed to moderate exercise, Gregory promised, “He'll get bet ter and better. I know this system works.” 12-THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 29-WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1988-THE ‘M’ VOICE Quaker State Motor Ou ® 10W30 = 10W40 ® HD30 37-1413, 1406,1412 Ea. Ot.

There are a number of ways in which a teacher can promote good discipline in the classroom. Be friendly. Be the kind of per- son children like and trust; be firm, fair, friendly, courteous, en- thusiastic, confident; keep your sense of humor. Keep your classroom orderly. Maintain a cheerful and attrac- tive classroom rather than a disorderly one which might en- courage disruptive behavior. Get to know your students.

And give clear directions. Be fair to students. Here are _ some do’s and don'ts to help you — win the respect of your students and cut down on the potential stu- - dent grievances: - Do be consis- tent in application of discipline and just in your requirements and assignments. - Do show. courtesy to every student, and display trust and confidence in them all. Don’t show dislike for nay pupil. - Don’t refuse to let a student tell you his or her side of the situation. Be willing to con- sider mitigating circumstances. - Don’t talk about the misdeeds of students except to those who have a right to know. Don’t openly compare one pupil to another. - Do admit you’ve made a mistake and apologize if you’ve treated a student unjustly. - Do make sure punishments are appropriate for the misbehavior, and explain to the student why he or she is be- ing punished.

HOW TO MOTIVATE YOUR CLASS lo motivate is to stimulate an active and positive interest in something. A major challenge for teachers is to motivate their students toward educational achievement. Following are some tips to faciliate the motiva- tion of students to learn. Show enthusiasm for your sub- ject - be an expert, be emotional. Present subject matter in a positive way - first impressions are important. Encourage stu- dent involvement and interac- tion, ¢.g., simultaions, games. Vary presentation and content of material to maintain high in- terest level - be flexible, be spon- taneous. Use current technology such as computers adn television whenever possible and as ap- propriate for the lesson. Acknowledge and reward student learning efforts - be consistent and generous. Plan activities and assignments that allow students to be creative and encourage reasoning skills. Relat subject matter to students’ interests and daily activities. Provide regular assessment of students’ pro- grams and mastery - use con- structive criticism. Create an organized and stimulating classroom environment that en- courages learning. Share humor - it releives tensions and involves students emotionally and positively. Keep students in mo- tion both mentally and physical- ly - active and sedentary activities. These tips are based on motiva- tional materials written for NEA by Raymond J. Wlodkowski.

Pitt County voters will choose County Commissioner On Tuesday, October 11, 1988 Pitt County voters in Districts I and II will pick D.D. Garrett or James Dupree as their County Commissioner. On November 8, 1988 voters in Pitt County District II will decide whether Jéan Darden or Leroy James will represent them on the Commission. Also, on November 8th, electors will choose between Jim Rouse and Farney Moore for District I of the Pitt County Board of Commissioners. Today, it would appear that the key to these races is the momen- tum now generated by the D.D. Garrett campaign. If D.D, Gar- rett is elected for Seat A on Oc- © tober 11th, black voters will share a feeling of pride and victory that will impact how they will par- ticipate in the November 8th elec- tion. If D.D. Garrettt loses on Oc- tober llth, doubts about black voters united will also influence participation in November. That is why the D.D. Garrett The fact that Jesse Jackson will not appear on the national presidential ballot will guarantee less enthusiasm among black voters. Rev. Jackson, on a na- tional basis, can draw blacks to the polls as no one else has been able to do. Without that kind of national interest, the Committee to elect D.D. Garrett must de- pend on local workers having enough civic responsibility to vote, whether Jesse Jackson is on the national ballot or not. Over 32,000 black voters registered as democrats in the Seat A election held on May 31st and 2,340 votes were cast. There are over 3,000 black registered democrats in the Seat A districts. That is proof that blacks can elect D.D. Garrett and they can do it with a wide margin. Pitt County has never had a black commissioner with the sup- port of African-Americans of Pitt County that will change this fall and a new era of political unity in Pitt County will begin. race is the most important con- Gran House ae Sales Mascier test at this time.

Opponents say runoffs, by dilut- ing the influence of black voters, violate the 1965 Voting Rights Act. In Mecklenburg County, 10 runoffs since 1966 have involved blacks running against whites. Four blacks have been elected, but only when the runoff was among four or more candidates, as in a multiseat district.

This series is designed to focus attention on critical issues addressed in the final report developed by the Governor’s Commission for the Family. That report was pre- sented to Governor Jim Martin at a statewide conference at the Radisson Hotel High Point, Sep- tember 15-16. Jobs. They represent more than the ability to buy a new car, place a down payment on a new home, or purchase a new outfit. Jobs offer the opportunity to build a better life. Yet for some, finding and keeping a good job with suffi- cient benefits to support a family is only a dream. ““Insome cases, second and third generations of families are now dependent on the welfare system,”’ said Joel C. New, director of the state’s division of employment and training. “‘We are Working to help make those individuals become more in- dependent. We Want to help a young person or parent Who has never received necessary skills training to gain meaningful em- ployment. Our concern is how to reach these individuals, how to assist dropouts, displaced work- ers, the unemployed and under- employed, senior citizens and the disabled.”’ Recognizing the critical need for job training in getting North Caro- lina citizens off the Welfare roles, Governor Jim Martin established the North Carolina State Job Train- ing Council to recommend policy relating to job training in the state. This council is charged with the responsibility of meeting new challenges in labor force develop- ment. Specifically, by Executive Order, the Governor expanded the role of the Council to oversee all labor force efforts in North Caro- lina, and to recommend how the state uses the interest generated by Employment Security Commis- sion Reserve Funds. New stated that some job train- ing assistance is currently avail- able through local, state, and fed- eral government programs. The county Departments of Social Services operate the Community Work Experience Program (CWEP), a job training program for recipients of Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC). The program offers such serv- ices as job preparation, job search, work experience, short term skills training, and supportive services such as day care and transporta- tion. ‘““CWEP helps welfare recipients learn specific job skills and the good work habits they need to obtain full-time jobs and become self-supporting citizens,’ New said. ‘‘And the program is work- ing.” To support his claims of suc- cess, New cited statistics which show that during fiscal year 1985- 86, one-third of all participants in CWEP found paid employment, over 98,000 hours of public service work (valued at over $328,000) were performed in the commu- nity, and as of fiscal year 1986-87, CWEP was available in 30 coun- ties across the state. Another program currently being implemented for AFDC re- cipients is “Jobs Plus,” which expands employment and train- ing opportunities for the state’s unemployed and public assistance recipients. Under this program, the state would enter into contracts with major employers who would commit to finding higher paying jobs, with benefits, for AFDC re- cipients. This program would work with existing employment and training programs. Many participating employers can offer the type of wages and benefits necessary toeliminate de- pendency on the welfare system. New pointed out that funding is often the primary stumbling block toany comprehensive job training program. The Job Training Part- nership Act (JTPA), enacted by federal law in 1982, helps alleviate this problem by providing funds to the states for job training. This program — administered through the state by the Division of Employment and Training within the Department of Natural Resources and Community Devel- opment —is responsible for train- ing and placing economically dis- advantaged adults and youth, as Attend the Church of Your Choice Sunday!! well as older workers, welfare recipients, and workers who lost their jobs due to plant closings. The JTPA utilizes the resources of both the public and private sec- tors, New said. To implement the JTPA, the Division of Employment and Training distributes over $53 million to service delivery areas around the state. Private businesses contract for on-the-job training, the Depart- ment of Community Colleges pro- vides classroom and customized training, the Department of Labor provides pre-apprenticeship train- ing, the Employment Security Commission offers placesment services, and the Department of Public Instruction oversees a variety of youth programs. The Division of Employment and training also contracts with vari- ous other state and local service agencies for additional job train- ing opportunities. Some state and national funding is controlled by local business com- munities through entities known as the Private Industry Councils. Established through the JTPA, the Private Industry Council member- ship consists of a majority of owners of business concerns or private sector executives. The re- mainder of its membership in- cludes education agencies, organ- ized labor, rehabilitation agencies, and the local Employment Secu- rity Commission (ESC). ‘“‘These Private Industry Coun- cils are the labor force policy making bodies for local govern- ment and have overall planning and coordination responsibility for job training activities, and a spe- cial responsibility to see that train- ing meets local employer needs and standards.’’ New said. ‘‘These councils give employers the nec- essary resources to enable their employees to retain employment and thereby the financial well- being of their families.”’ ‘Through these and other public and private sector programs, find- ing and keeping a job will become less of adream and more ofa real- ity for those currently on welfare,” New concluded. ‘‘Strengthening the skills of North Carolina’s citi- zens will not only benefit the indi- vidual and their family, but will also improve our ability to com- pete in the national and interna- tional marketplace.”’ For more information concern- ing these and other job training programs administered by the State, contact Joel C.
