The report cited 53 violent/il- legal incidents motivated by bigotry or involving known members of hate groups. The state also had 55 legally organiz- ed events—mostly marches—by white supremacist groups. The 53 incidents were: 5 deaths 11 assaults 4 cross burnings 20 threats/harassment 2 weapons charges 8 vandalism 3 other | The violence includes a murder in Halifax county (4/21), in which Aaron Parker, a black man, was ’ and nursing administration on various committees. Originally from Spring Hope, N.C., Fisher received a bachelor of science in nursing from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1975. She worked for three years as a staff nurse and head nurse in the surgical and medical units at the Veterans’ Administration Medical Center in Durham. Fisher returned to UNC and earned a master of science degree in nursing- in 1980 with minors in health administration and education. She then worked as a family nurse practitioner at Central Family Practice, a medical practice affiliated with Durham County’ General Hospital. She was later named staff development coordinator at the hospital and organized orien- tation and educational programs for nursing staff. Most recently, Fisher was director of nursing and quality assurance coordinator at Lincoln Community Health Center (LCHC), an ambulatory care facility in Durham. Under her direction, LCHC was the first federally funded ambulatory care facility in North Carolina to receive accreditation by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Health Care Organizations. Fisher is a member of the North Carolina Nurses Associa- tion, National Black Nurses Association, American Public Health Association and the On- cology Nursing Society.

At Lexington Senior High a black youth was stabbed to death during a fight between black and white youth near the school. In Winston-Salem, four black boys, ages 11 to 13, were chased on their’ way to school by three men wearing white sheets and hoods and shouting racial slurs. One of the men held what ap- peared to have been a gun. Two of the boys sustained minor in- juries in the chase. During September, vandals broke a stain-glass window at the synagogue in Rocky Mount, followed by disruptions during a service. And in December, a white man : driving on I-40 rammed a car car- rying four black high school students, forcing the car to spin out of control and flip over.

Other hate groups active in North Carolina in 1988 included the Populist Par- ty,, the Confederate National Congress, the Southern White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, and the Church of the Creator. To determine if an incident should be counted, NCARRV defines a hate crime as ‘any act to cause physical injury, emo- tional suffering, or property damage, which appears to be motivated, all or in part, by race, ethnicity, religion, or sexual orientation.”’ This definition is employed by the state of Califor- nia’s Racial, Ethnic, and Religious Task Force. NCARRV uses these figures as a barometer and not as a precise statement of the number of bigoted incidents. As the U.S. Department of Justice has noted, ‘a deficiency with all data collec- tion efforts (for hate crimes) is NCARRV reflects this in its report, noting no recorded incidents of violence against lesbians.

Public high schools had 7 violent incidents, with 7 more involving univer- sities and community colleges. Nine other schools faced in- cidents involving the wearing or displaying of the Confederate flag. Also many assailants in in- cidents outside of schools were in their late teens and early twen- ties. In addition, reports in- dicated the formation of violence- prone Nazi skinhead groups in Charlotte and Elizabeth City. Violent and illegal activity either connected with the Chris- tian Knights or in the wake of one of their marches also rose in 1988. On at least 4 occasions, Klansmen were arrested during marches on weapons or disorder- ly conduct charges. A split bet- ween the national leader Virgil Griffin and state leader, Terry Boyce early in 1989 indicated to state law enforcement that Boyce’s faction might be increas- ingly militant in 1989.

Concerned about the danger, Greenville officials are targeting black and low-income _ neighbor- hoods with their most effective fire- fighting technique yet -- they plan to stop a fire before it can start. "There are a lot of people who don't have a lot of money and this is where we have most of our serious house fires, in low-income homes," Branch says. "We've developed a three-point program to address this special need immediately. This involves commu- nity education, home inspections, and the installation and maintenance of smoke detectors in low-income housing. The goal is to eliminate as many factors as possible which could lead to a fire and loss of life." Branch cites three primary causes of house fires in the city's black community and low-income neighborhoods: cooking, faulty electrical wiring, and portable space heaters, including wood stoves. "We have a lot of cooking fires," says Branch. "In fact, overall, we have more kitchen fires than any- thing else, and a lot of cases where grease has been left on the stove." The fire prevention officer points to six, time-proven responses to stop potential kitchen fires dead in their tracks. ¢ Pay attention to your cooking and don't overheat grease. Grease overflows and can start a fire in sec- onds. If you must leave the stove to answer the phone or the doorbell, turn down the heat. If you think you may be gone for more than a few minutes, turn the stove off. + Make children aware of cook- ing hazards when they help you in the kitchen and always tum skillet and pot handles toward the center of the stove to prevent accidental over- turning. *Keep towels and napkins away from the stove and don't wear frilly clothing -- especially those with loose, floppy sleeves -- while cook- ing. « Always keep the pot lid close at hand to smother a small grease fire. ¢ Don't try to move or Carry a pan which contains a grease fire. Moving the pan may seem tempting when you discover a fire, but it often leads to burns for the carrier and additional fire damage. « You may be able to stop a small grease fire with a handful of baking soda -- but don't use baking powder, It’s Time Again!

Never use water on a grease fire be-cause it doesn't work and can make a fire less manageable. If the situation should get out of hand a big fire develops, Captain Branch advises not to try to fight it. Leave the house and phone the 911 emergency number for help. Because many low-income blacks live in older housing, they are more likely to suffer from fires caused by faulty or worn-out elec- trical wiring. People also create their own electrical dangers by improp- erly replacing blown fuses. Too of- ten, says Branch, people drop a penny in the fuse box with-out real- izing the potential danger created by overheated wiring. Blown fuses should always be replaced with the proper parts. Another wiring danger, he says, can be caused by hiding electrical extension cords under rugs or be- hind curtains. These cords some- times fray and set cloth articles aflame. Low-income residents also run a risk when they plug too many ap- pliances into a single outlet. This all- too-common practice can also over- heat indoor wiring and lead to fire. "The Fire/Rescue Department is more than willing to go out to someone's house and make a free fire safety inspection whenever we're asked," Branch says. "We'll inspect the property and provide them witha checklist of possible hazards. Whata lot of people don't understand, though, is that once we do that, we're not responsible for re-porting it to anyone else. If some-one has a prob- lem his landlord out to fix, it's up to the tenant to report it." Tenants can report building code violations, including faulty wiring, to the city Development Department's Inspection Division at 830-4467. The department is also actively promoting its Code Red Smoke Detection Program, which is funded totally by donations from the local business community. Begun almost two years ago, the program provides eligible Greenville residents with free installation and yearly mainte- nance of smoke detectors. Installing a smoke detector is the single mosteffective step that can be taken to prevent residential fires, according to Greenville Fire/Rescue Chief Jenness Allen. "A smoke detector is one of the best tools we have to save someone's life," Allen says. "According to the latest survey I've seen, from back in 1979, smoke detectors had reduced loss of life by 50 percent. I'm sure it's a lot more than that now because there are a lot more detectors in use." Greenville residents are eligible for the program if their total family income is $360 per month or less, or if they receive food stamps or gold Social Security checks. Once smoke detectors are installed, Fire/-Rescue workers will come back once a year to change their batteries. "At least once a year we know we've checked it and the battery is good,” Allen says. "We've found a lot of elderly people are especially glad to have it in their homes." "One reason smoke detectors are so valuable is that loss of life in homes is most likely between 12 o'clock at night and six o'clock in the morning,” Branch adds, "when people are asleep.” The heaviest season for fires is between December and the first of March, usually the coldest months of the year. "We're seeing a real in- crease in chimney fires and in fire places,” the fire prevention officer notes, “especially from improperly installed fireplaces." Electric, kerosene, gas and woo- dburning heaters pose numer-ous threats residents should be a-ware of. If you use a an electric heater, Branch says make sure it has a tip- over shut-off switch anda protective grill around the heating coils. Don't use it in a bathroom or near a sink where electrocution could occur and, if you must use it with an extension cord, make sure it is for heavy-duty use. Kerosene heaters pose another set of problems. Branch says never use the more volatile gasoline or propane in a kerosene heater -- just kerosene. Then, before refueling it, turn off the heater, let it cool and take it Outdoors. When lighting the pilot of a gas heater, Branch says to light the match first, then turn on the gas -- not the reverse. Woodburning heaters should never be primed with gasoline or any other petroleum fuel, Branch says, and owners should always let ashes cool before throwing them out. People using fireplaces should al- ways use a firescreen around it and have their chimneys regularly cleaned of creosote, which can col- lect in chimneys and ignite. Most important, according to Captain Branch, is to be prepared if a fire should break out. "Good planning can save lives, there's no doubt about it,” he says. "Every family should have a fire es- cape plan, know alternate means of escape, and have someone responsi- ble to help children and elderly rela- tives get outside. Then, there ¥ be a prearranged place where ev one knows to meet. And ev-erfone should understand that no one should re-enter | the buming builting for any reason."

It often hap- pens subtly, as a consequence of seeing each other day after day in all kinds of circumstances. Family members see the behavior of each other that the public seldom, if ever, sees. From my own experience and | from the many hours of counsel- _ ing, I feel I can safely say that where there is trouble in a home, there is little respect for each other in that home. Unsaved Loved Ones I’d like to share some scripture verses that will help you gain respect for your mate, your children, or your parents—for those whom you see day after day after day. I’ve chosen to break down part of the reference chapter of 1 Peter 3 by verses because each is so rich in wisdom. Likewise, ye wives, be in subjec- tion to your own husbands; that if any obey not the Word, they also may be won by the conversation of the wives {vs. 1). This relates to husbands who are not saved or who are not living the reality of the Word. The word ‘conversa- tion’ means ‘behavior’ in the Greek, and is clearly saying that (Photo by Jim Rouse) THE ‘M’ VOICE-THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 9-WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1989-7 The Devil can’t ride your back if you’re not bent over them grow up from day one, through all kinds of behaviors and attitudes. Then, suddenly, the children turn around and tell the parents how to live! It’s the same with other family members. They remember your tantrums, your hate-filled words, your gossip, your drinking, your critical spirit, your immorality— and now you tell them what is Truth! To these folks, your words are not that important. What they want to see is ACTION, a new LIFESTYLE. (Now as the ‘door opens, by all means share Jesus with them. But do so only as the Holy Spirit directs.) Remember, the only revelation an unsaved person can receive is that Jesus is Lord. Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel; but let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price (vss. 3,4). This is a very important principle to know—holiness is not from the outside in, but from the inside out. To accomplish that, one needs a meek (teachable) and quiet (not disturbed by cir- cumstances) spirit. Keep in mind that people will test this New Birth, Holy Ghost baptism you’ve received.

God is not only a God of individuals, but a God of families. The Heavenly efforts to save your family have increased because of you, because of your accepting Jesus. As a represen- tative of Heaven for your family, you are going to have to start ac- ting like a ‘Heavenly” person. For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection un- to their own husbands (vs. 5). You are going to have to trust God that your family will come into the Kingdom. Begin to exercise the ‘faith’ scriptures for them, knowing that in yourself you can’t draw them in. The Holy Ghost does that! How do you adorn yourself? Through humili- ty, through ‘ministering’ to the other persons through kind and thoughtful deeds. The Holy Spirit knows exactly the best way to minister to that individual (or in- dividuals). Let Him tell you how. Even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord; whose daughters ye are, as long as ye do well, and are not afraid with any amazement (vs. 6). What in the world is this say- ing! Simply, just as Sara respected her husband and put her faith in the words of Abraham, you must put. your faith in God’s promises and stand in faith for others’ salvation. Then don’t act surprised when it happens! Faith already ‘sees’’ them in Heaven. Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as un- to the weaker vessel and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered (vs. 7). The knowledge spoken of here is ‘general”’ knowledge, not revelation knowledge. Husbands, get to know your wives, learn what makes a woman a woman, and treat her as ‘fine crystal”’ with great value. Learn what makes her happy and unhappy. Few things are more important PARK ATTENDANTS are filled. The City of Greenville for seasonal park at- tendants to work at River Park North.

Har, monious relationships add power. to prayer! uty Turn to Isaih 60:1-5. What I'd. like to share with you is that net only will there be a great revival, in God’s earthly Kingdom, the Enemy will also be having his, revival. There'll be so much tur- moil, destruction, and confusion that families will have to be able. to go to each other for encourage- ment. Satan would desire to pre- vent that unity, and that’s why: the Satanic pressure against all families today. God’s plan, however, is that families serve God together. If you still have un- saved family members, don’t be content. The Vision In September of 1981, I had an awesome vision from God. It was of entire cities, every city in the world, their streets filled with people whose hands were lifted in praise and worship to God. The: crowds were too large for any building to hold them all. And,J; knew, I just knew, that people were grouped in families. All; races, all colors, all creeds were together, having put aside doc- trines and dress codes in order to simply worship God. And they all had one thing in common—their, families were saved and they; were beckoning for Jesus to, come, I share this next related thought with you with all humili-; ty, but with Godly inspiration, I, know that I know that I know that; revival is not going to happen un+; til the church has dealt with, segregations.

Turn to Joha, 17:22,23: And the glory which thou, gavest me I have given them; that, they may be one, even as we are, one: I in them, and thou in me, that. they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that, thou hast sent me, and hast loved: them, as thou hast loved me. Until the issue of race is resolved, the: manifestation of God cannet come. I know this is a sensitive, topic, but we cannot close ovr eyes to it. 1 John 4:20,21 perfect-; ly sums it up as John speaks tai Christians about Christians: If a: man say, I love God, and hateth his, brother, he is a liar; for he that; loveth not his brother whom he hath) seen, how can he love God whom he} (Continued on page 11) The Employees Of Burroughs Wellcome Company _ } Join In Commemoration Of | African-American Black History Month 1 A Time To Reflect The Many Contributions And Achievements Of Black Americans thy grace, those whose portion is not wrath and who go not astray. Holy Quran 1:1-7 “In this world there are many paths. But since our God is one there is only one path that leads to him. Finding the straight path is not hard, staying on the straight path is difficult. Why? Allah teaches us in the Quran that Satan is an avowed enemy to mankind. He has sworn to re- main an obstacle to our salvation until we are raised up on the day of judgement. Biblical history shows whenever Allah gave guidance to a people, Satan would cause them to forget it. Father Abraham and his people were not so far removed from Noah and the flood that they should have forgotten the wrath of their Lord upon the wrongdoers of His crea- tion. But they did forget, except for Father Abraham and a few of the elect. Today is not different from yesterday? Father Abraham’s people could not bring themselves to believe in the supremacy of God. They refused to believe that one God has power over all things. So they divided His power among several gods. The deeper they went into their false worship the harder it became for them to distinguish truth from falsehood. Satan made their false worship fair seeming to them and caused them to doubt God’s eternal love and mercy and His power to forgive all sins. the Quran says: O Ye who believe! If ye fear Allah, he will grant you a criterion (to judge between right and wrong), remove from you (all) evil (that may afflict) you, and forgive you; for Allah is the Lord of grace unbounded. Holy Quran 8:29. ‘God alone knows the right way that leads to Him. He has never left us alone to find the path without His guidance. Scientists are today verifying that the knowledge of God has always been with us. From the beginn- ing, God made Himself known to us through His prophets and His books. Those who sincerely seek God recognize His guidance and follow it. Those who follow falsehood can never be guided aright, nor can they guide to the right. These are they who buy er- ror for guidance, so their bargain ings no gain, nor are they guid- - Holy Quran 2:16 “When our African ancestors heard the call to Islam they sub- mitted. Many of our slave fdreparents were Muslims. It was the slavemaster who forced his réligion upon us. Though we gtudgingly accepted it and modified it to suit our needs, it is still the slavemaster’s religion. If it'was the truth that was forced upon us there would be no argu- ment here. However, when you study Christian history you find that millions of Christians were persecuted because they believ- ed in one God and refused to wor- ship God in a Trinity. They were persecuted because they said Jesus was only a prophet and not the son of God nor was he God. They were persecuted by pagans who wanted to mix falsehood with truth. ‘The African people have a du- ty to question the validity of any réligion. We have been enslaved and colonized to such an extent that the knowledge of our origin has been nearly destroyed. Our foreparents walked the path of God but Satan through extreme trials and tribulations has caus- ed us to forget it. We have been made to become like the people of Hosea—a people destroyed for lack of knowledge. ‘Challenge #1— Is J esus God? _ continues You may send any inquiries or questions to ‘Islam in Focus”’ c/o ne ‘M‘ Voice’ newspaper.

Elijah ‘‘(Oak Grove” Clay walks away from a high performance race car named ‘“‘New Gambler”, what was to be his last test ride for maybe 50 years. Clay allegedly gambled the close relationship he had with wife, Dorothy and their four children to provide a better living by selling drugs, but, last week, Superior Court Judge David E. Reid adhered to state laws and handed a fifty year jail sentence for his drug related activity. Several of our African- American brothers and sisters were sentenced over the past two weeks that wraps up an SBI investigation. Clay is only 38 years old, but he still had his whole life ahead of him. The ‘M’ Voice also learn- ed that Clay reluctantly pleaded guilty to the charges levied against him.

All it takes is a little time—just a few hours each week and a lot of sharing.”’ Only 20 Pitt County youths bet- ween the ages of 7 and 17 will be accepted for the program. ‘If we accepted more, we wouldn’t be able to monitor them as closely,” Lermer said. ‘We’re going to try and work very closely with those 20.” . Referrals are expected to come from the juvenile court system, schools, agencies, parents and concerned adults. ‘Our young people battle such pressures and temptations that they need all the positive direction and support that they can get,” said Eve Rogers, chief court counselor for the 3rd Judicial District. ‘I think the PALS program is a splendid opportunity for this kind of support. ‘I know this program is needed by virtue of the nature of our work,‘ she added. ‘We work with youth who oftentimes do not have the benefit of a strong positive role model who they can relate to one-on-one. This is particularly true for young males.” East Carolina University AFRO-AMERICAN ap alle CELEBRATION MINORITY STUDENT ORGANI Tuesday, February 14th — 8:00 p.m. — Hendrix Theatre Sponsored by: The Minority Student Organization AN EVENING WITH MAYA ANGELOU Tuesday, February 21st — 8:00 p.m. — Hendrix Theatre Sponsored by: The East Carolina University Gospel Choir THE ECU GOSPEL CHOIR 7th ANNIVERSARY CONCERT Sunday, February 26th — 3:00 p.m. — Hendrix Theatre Sponsored by: The Esat Carolina University Gospel Choir FOR MORE INFORMATION CALL 757-6611 for juvenile offenders in vario counties of North Carolina.” © According to Williams, CBA provided $30,031 in state funding to establish the program.

Then if , the relationship is broken, you | are doing more damage than good.” In addition to 20 one-on-one volunteers, who will be expected to spend at least two hours a week with the youth, Lermer is also seeking assistance from in- dividuals as well as area clubs and organizations. : ‘There are other ways people can volunteer in this program, such as providing transportatian, _ ‘sponsoring a group activity, fuhd ‘‘raising, or offering special sér- vices such as tutoring or tours‘of a company or business office,” Lermer said. ‘A club can sponsor on a one time basis what we’re going to call PALS for a Day, when all 20 adult volunteers ahd kids can come together for a sup- per, bowling, or any kind of ac- tivity.” ats) For more information on Pre ject PALS, or to make a referral, contact Sharon Lermer at the ECU School of Education/Divi- sion of Services, Speight Building, Greenville, N.C., 27858, (919) 757-6164. 4 5 * P| ’ j Oe ee aa a al a ila a at ce ea ea ete ee - hath not seen?

You may not agree with this, but I believe the $criptures will bear it out—there must be love and unity in the Body for revival to come. Unity ‘among our kind’’ and unity ‘‘gmong their kind” won’t ‘cut it.” J also know that as God begins to more intensely deal with the Church concerning this matter, many Christians will refuse to go along with it! I’m referring now to Spirit-filled believers who will refuse, saying, ‘We’re carrying this Christianity too far.” But through this issue, the world un- saved will see either Christian love or hypocrisy. ‘Turning the Hearts of the Fathers ¢ x Luke 1:17 says: And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord. Do you see where this problem lies, spiritual- ly? It’s with the men! But God Says He will send an anointing in- to the earth to challenge men to get their families in order. It will mean more than just seeing that the family gets to church on Sun- day morning. It’ll mean a home in such a Godly order and lifestyle that Jesus would be welcome at any time. The home—the place where Chris- tidnity becomes a tested reali- ty...the place where respect for each other must be lived out. It's time to get committed, folks; it’s time to see to it that our families are moving in God! But it’s a decision that only YOU can make. I encourage you...take a close look at your family relation- ships, seek God’s wisdom in heal- ing any breaks, cast aside the pride that has kept you from walking in love, repent for any hardheartedness, and cast off the depression or anger or resent- ment that has kept you and your family ‘bowed over.’’ Get your family to arise and stand up straight in God. Remember, the devil can’t ride your back if you’re not bent over. Rep. Warren (Continued from page 7) ‘The state and local Revenues Committee will offer me an op- portunity to work with the local elected officials, As a former county commissioner, I unders- tand the needs of local com- munities and the challenges they face today te provide needed government services. As it becomes harder for local com- munities to meet these needs, it will become more necessary for them to be addressed at the state level.’’ Warren said. READ The ‘m’ Voice Greenville community is plagued 4 by swindlers ripping-off the elderly by: C. A. Dawson Recently in the West Greenville area of the city, the black com- munity has been plagued with rip-offs on the elderly by area junkies. The junkies come through the neighborhood with food and clothing stolen from area mer- chants and sell them for half price or less to the residents of the black community, Not being able to pass up a good deal (probably because of the high prices of merchandise in stores), the residents purchase the merchandise from the junkies. After several trips to the area, the junkies’ faces then are known to most of the residents and this is when they began to prey on the elderly. In one instance last week, two of these junkies visited the home of two elderly residents. With their faces being known to the residents they were allowed in- side the home. After entering the home, the junkies informed the residents that they had a vehicle parked around the corner with $200.00 worth of steaks and hams for — $50.00. a Thinking they could not beat | this deal, the elderly residents — immediately gave them $50.00in cash. The junkies took the | money, left, and never returned, — Some of you probably will say — the elderly residents deserved this for attempting to buy stolen merchandise. That’s wrong. It is rough on the elderly in this area trying to make ends meet and temptation is always there. Why did these residents not call the police in? They are afraid and they think it’s wrong for them to attempt to purchase stolen merchandise. A HISTORICAL MOMENT... Pitt County Resident Supervisor Court ly udge David E.
