Bob Douglas was the first Black man to own and manage a professional basketball team in this country. Back in 1923, Bob Douglas got the Harlem Renais- sance off to a running start as they blazed trails across the na- tion. Douglas layed the founda- tion for the pro game of basket- ball. Much of what is done in professional basketball today, administratively and on the field, was instituted by Douglas, who enjoys a lofty position in the Basketball Hall of Fame, along with two of his players - Charles “Tarzan” Cooper and William “Pop” Gates who was inducted this past May. The dream of having his club participate in the first profes- sional basketball leagues, were denied him. Douglas broke up his club in the early forties, Al- most five decades later, the Na- tional Basketball Association and it’s member clubs, ap- proved a group of investors headed up by Bertram M. Lee and Peter C.B. Bynoe to finalize the sale of the Denver Nuggets. ' The fact that Bynoe and Lee are both Black, made this $65 million purchase of the Denver franchise, another historic first. , Not only for the National Bas- ketball Association, but for minorities in particular. A glorious first. Over the past 10 years, Blacks have made some pro- gress in our- field coach- ing/managing positions in col- lege and professional athletics. Gains have been recorded in ad- ministrative positions. But the actual ownership of professional sports teams have eluded minorities. What is significant about Ber- We’ve Come A Long Way Wake Up, Get Up, and Speak Up By: Sandra Dupree Boyd My great-grand mother use to tell me during my youth and adolescent years to wake up and see what the great sight means. I did’t know what she meant back then. But I do now. It looks as though to me that the black race is still asleep. Our blacks are not educated enough on their rights. I feel that 75% of the blacks working in the Pitt/Greenville area don’t know about EEOC which stands for Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, and NCOAH which stands for North Carolina Office of Administrative Hearings. Both are located in Raleigh, N.C. and we even have the CCJ which stands for the Concerned Citizens for Justice, and it’s located right here in Greenville. I once read in a business establishment that the success or failure of your life will be measured by the manner we meet our responsibilities, people we meet, and how we treat one another, If this is true, a lot of us are going to fall short, and very short, So let’s Wake Up! It’s almost election time again. So look out! Here comes more campaign speeches, campaign promises, and most important, more campaign lies. We really need to think about who’s benefiting from what the most. And believe me, I’m thinking hard. If whites helped you.to get elected into an office, you should tell them up front, “I’m not sell- ing out my black people.’ If whites helped you to get started in a business, you should tell them up front, “‘I’n not selling out my black people.’’ Politicians, if you’re going to give us insurance, then give us blessed assurance. We don’t need a policy on divi- sion, we need a policy on liabili- ty. And then giv}e us reliability. Don’t just pick us up; lift us up. So let’s Get Up! If the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. were alive today, I believe he would be terribly disappointed. Rev. King had a dream, and during his time here on earth, he made a lot of that dream materialize. But we as a black race are not keeping the other portions of that dream alive, Think about it, If we were real- ly keeping the dream alive, would we continuously put up with harassment, intimidation, and racial discrimination from the white man? God doesn’t like it, and we shouldn’t either. Whether we want to admit it or not, it is very much alive in the * (Continued on page 7) — + PETER CB. BYNOE tram Lee and Peter Bynoe is the simple fact that they were ap- proved, not because the league was pressured, but because they and their investors represent a solid faction of people who are financially sound, and proven achievers in the business finan- cial world. Both are well-respected in the.financial community. Lee is the chairman of Boston-based BML Associates Inc.

And there is the Boston Bank of Commerce of which he is chairman. Bynoé’s financial involve- ments are equally impressive. You certainly should be aware that the Major Leagues’ Chicago White Sox are in the process of buildings a new Comiskey Park. The project is being financed at about $150 million. Peter Bynoe is the ex- ecutive director of the ap- pointed Illinois Sports Facilities Authority that was formed to oversee the project. At the same time, Bynoe is the president of Telemat Ltd., which is a real estate develop- ment and management co’ ing firm. Telemat Ltd. has fices in Chicago and Boston. Bynoe, a native of Boston, where he was reared, is also At- torney of counsel to Davis Bar- nhill & Galland law firm in Chicago. So it is more than evident, that Bynoe, who graduated cum laude from Harvard University with a degree in business, and the holder of a Master’s Degree in business from that institu- tion as well as a Law degree from the Harvard Law School, is well matched and suited for the task he‘and his partner, Ber- tram Lee have undertaken. Lee holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in political science from North Central College in Naper- ville, Ill, and completed two years of graduate work at Chicago’s Roosevelt Univer- sity. ‘‘We are mindful that the Denver fans and civil leaders want a well-run franchise and a championship team,” said Lee. “We are looking forward to those challenges and we realize that minority ownership is ex- citing, but it is not the key to success in an extremely com- petitive league.” _ The NBA and Commissioner David Stern are to be applauded for their commitment to en- courage and involve minority ownership within the framework of the league that counts 85 percent of their play- ers as Black.

The rate of failure’ in fatherhood is actually higher than any other occupation. Fathers have a colossal fulltime job that most people under estimate. It’s the most important task a man can tackle. A father should be the domi- nant figure in a family. His role is vital. Looking at Scripture, I see three main duties of a father. (1) Provision for the family. The first need of every family is its material need. A father must pro- vide for his family. Not many fathers fail here. We may not i E 3 Won't You Help?

The Bible says that’s the way it should be. First Timothy 5:8 reads, ‘‘But if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for those of his household, he has denied the faith, and is worse than an unbeliever.”’ Perhaps a great danger is to set our family’s material stan- dards too lhigh, over emphasiz- ing money’s importance and leading children to want and ex- pect more than they need. A wise father doesn’t infect his family with the love of money. A father should be a godly leader. A father’s relationship to his family symbolizes Christ’s position with His people. Fathers, do you love your children? Do you spend time with them? You maythink you have good reasons for making business a higher priority, but God sees through that. So do your children. They need your time more that they need your money. (2) Pro- tection for the Family. A father must protect his family. God pro- tects and nurtures His own children and every father has the same responsibility. Most fathers provide physical protection. I kon’t know any man who would not give his life fighting for his children. But spiritual dangers also con- front our Fathers, do you seek to provide spiritual protection for your family? If Satan gets a foothold in your life, he will have a foothold in your family. You need to set an example fo spiritual strength and stability. Don’t expose your children to dangerous teaching. Be sure your church teaches and believes God’s Word. Notice what comes into your home through TV, and train your children in the truth. (3) Prayer for the Family. Final- ly, every father has a respon- sibility to pary for his family. Job was a praying father. Job 1:5 tells us that Job continually prayed for each son and daughter. Men, take a good look at yoursellf. 1. Do you bathe regularly? 2. Does your breath turn her off? 3. Do you wear clean clothes? 4. Do you consider your wife’s needs when having sexual relations? 5. Do you consider your wife’s nees when NOT having sexual relations? 6. Do you stimulate her with, ‘‘I love you’, “You are wonderful’, “You are all I need’’? 7. Does your husband remember special occasions? 8. Does your husband prevent your life from becoming bored? 9. Does he share the problems you have with the kids? Improve these and perhaps your sex life will improve. .

Many girls do not know who the father is. Girls who are sex- ually active, especially at ages _ 13, 14 and 15 and getting pregnant should realize how foolish they are. The guys who pressure them to have sex are just using them. They get what they want and are on their way at the first sign of trouble. These good-time Charlies never give a thought to using protection because they seem to think it’s the girl’s responsibility to take care of herself. Teenagers, if you have not had SEX, don’t. It’s a bad scene once you cross that line and your life will never be the same. If you are already having SEX make cer- tain that the guy cares enough about you to take precautions. If he refuses tell him to get lost. He’s selfish and inconsiderate. Please read carefully and thoughtfully. COLORS OF ROSES have dif- ferent meanings. Here are some basic meanings: A RED rose symbolizes love; a WHITE rose, purity; a YELLOW rose, friend- ship; a PINK rose, sweetheart. Always remember it is the thought that counts, regardless of the rose. Quality parenting: Showing kids how much you care. 1. Spend time alone with a parent. Mom, take time one afternoon just for one of the kids. Eat lunch together, visit the zoo, go shopping. 2. Have a ‘‘show-and-tell’’. Ap- plaud them for a book read, a well-played game, a chore remembered. 3. Do things as a family- attend church together, share a vaca- tion, go out to dine. 4. Count on an activity each sum- mer; go to the mountains, visit grandma. 5. Put kids first. Although Dad is very busy, he takes time for us, to go on a trip with us. 6. Be attentive. Each night Mon see that the kids take their baths, clean their teeth and read them a book before bed. 7. Make kids feel grown up. Father, ask him what he thinks of someting that’s happening on his job. 8.

Often time is the best way to say “T love you.”’ Most favorite fami- ly memories reflect time spent. Parents, think back on your most favorite childhood family memory and start from there to build new ones with your own each week just for family? Such time most often will not involve spending money or leaving home. Reserve a time each week when everyone is available, then decide what the family will do. Time segments may be brief or extended. Since most families have a kitchen calendar, mark- ing the time on that or a central calendar is a great way to start. Practice these and look for BY: CYNTHIA L. DOCTOR STRENGTHENING FAMILIES TIES Have you ever wondered why some families face and suc- cessfully cope with problems while others fall apart? How many times have you wondered why some parents and children get along so well while others don’t? Many reasons contribute to the answers to these questions. Researchers tell us, however, that one of the main keys to a family’s strength in emotional closeness. The degree of emo- tional closeness between family members is considered one of the building blocks of family strength. Could your family be closer? Do you know who your children really are; and do they really know you. As people and a fami- ly members, we are all growing, changing, and adapting to the cir- cumstances of our environments. In today’s fast paced society, the many roles we must play outside the home sometimes leaves little energy or time to invest in the family. For example, school will open soon. All of us know how hectic those first few weeks can be. Children’s activities are pro- jects must somehow be incor- porated into already over extend- ed parental calendars. For the next few weeks this col- umn will offer suggestions that may help strengthen the family. GET TO KNOW ONE ANOTHER. Often family members know one another’s food preferences and pet peeves. Parents, especially, focus on practical family matters such as providing as best they can for food, shelter, clothing, and recreation. These issues and their costs often leave little emotional energy or time to explore their own or their children’s thoughts and feelings. Many loving families remain emotional strangers. How often have you sat down and talked --- really talked --- about your hopes, am- bitions, fears and goals? Seven out our ten parents may talk to their children in this manner, but how many parents share such in- formation with their children? These kinds of discussions help family members understand one another and to grow close. The best way to gain this knowledge and to become close is to start asking questions, and answering them. Begin such con- versations when there is enough time to give time and attention to the conversation. Always assure family privacy during such discussions. Don’t expect im- FOR SALE!! An E.F.

In February, 3,500 members of the National Brotherhood of Ski- ers, a black membership organi- zation, gathered in Steamboat Springs, Colo., for a four-day summit meeting. Over the Memorial Day week- end, Black Pack, a national group of 40 black campers, pitched tents and spent three days hiking and fishing on Cape Cod. A growing market of black travelers — a $25 billion industry by some estimates — has spawned a variety of organizations, rang- ing from travel agencies and tour operators to travel clubs, to serve blacks who want to share their vacations and leisure activities with other blacks. Although vacation planning for most Americans revolves around such basics as where to go, where to stay, how to get there and what it will cost, many blacks consider one other factor: whether they will be the only blacks there. Groups like the Brotherhood of Skiers, which has more than 9,000 members nationwide, Black Pack and Chocolate Singles FSO Inter-’ national, a New York-based travel and leisure club for black singles, are providing alternatives or new outlets for blacks who want to make sure they have ‘cultural kin” on their vacation. “This wasn’t started with sepa- ratism in mind,” said Derrick Jackson of Black Pack. ‘My wife, Michelle, and I found camping and hiking to be a neat activity, but we seldom saw any black faces. We felt that if we could introduce some of our like- minded friends to this, they would enjoy it. The issue isn’t ‘let’s get blacks together.’ But sharing something you love and enjoy with your own people.” Though many blacks say they no longer feel uncomfortable about moving in predominantly white circles at work or in their. communities, the thought of being on vacation alone among white strangers in an unfamiliar place, even for a short period, can make travel plans less exciting, e~ ” disquieting. “Our lives are quite integrated from 9 to 5; after that people go their separate ways,” said Dr. Joyce Ladner, a professor of sociology at Howard University in Washington. “What is taking place in terms of vacation preferences is a meta-. phor on our lives. There is a lot of integration in the workplace, but there has not been much social integration.” The bifurcation of travel pat- terns along racial lines has raised questions about whether the gains of the 1960s civil rights and black power struggles actually have. bridged social and economic gaps that existed between the races. “The civil rights revolution has made a tremendous difference in how we live and in other areas of our lives, but there is still a lot EE, Le: —— MONITOR RECEIVER | * Full square 26” picture tube « Diamond Vi sion® Tube * MTS Stereo Reception * Full jack pack on back that remains to be done,”’ said Dr. Richard P.

Don’t expect perfection in yourself or others. -Confront your stress. When you use alcohol or drugs to sup- press your feelings, you just make the stress worse in the long run. -Think pleasant thoughts. -Deep breaths, takenin through your nose and blown out com- pletely and slowly through your mouth, are quite effective in relieving stress. -Exercise is a great help in re- lieving stress.>' - 5 ' «Laughter has also been shown oa : to help with stress. bs Pile il nef MURAL ARE 080 QUESTIONS: ‘3 gt 2 ‘ss What is a slipped disk? 4 Be | etal A primary task of a spinal disk Sat Waa ieee is to separate and cushion adja- cent vertebraes from one another.

Jones Second of four parts There are three basic types of mortgage loans available to the consumer: Federal Housing Administration, Veterans Administration and conventional. Below is a brief explanation of each. FHA Mortgage An FHA mortgage loan is made by a lender and insured by the Federal Housing Administration. A borrower pays FHA a fee to insure the mortgage. Normally, this fee is financed as part of the mortgage payment. Two advantages of this type of mortgage can be a lower interest rate and a lower down payment. Also, you have the option to finance your closing costs. FHA loans can have either a fixed or adjustable interest rate. VA Mortgage A VA mortgage loan is made by a lender to eligible military veterans. It is guaranteed by the Veterans Administration. To determine eligibility, contact the VA or a participating lending institution. In certain situations 100 percent finan- cing is available. The loans are offered for a maximum of 30 years and are made as either fixed-rate or graduated-payment loans. It should be noted that these loans are made for owner-occupied use only. This means you cannot use a VA loan to finance an investment property. Conventional Mortgage A conventional mortgage is not insured or guaranteed by a government agency. It is available for all qualified borrowers at the market interest rate. The maximum loan-to-value ratio allowed is 95 percent, which means loans can be secured with a 5 percent down payment. Loans secured with less than a 20 percent down payment, however, require the borrower to purchase private mortgage insurance, which protects the lender in the event the borrower defaults on the loan. Several mortgage loan variations are available. The three most popular are the adjustable-rate mortgage, the fixed-rate mortgage and the graduated-payment mortgage. Alice D. Jones Adjustable-Rate Mortgage (ARM) Anadjustable rate mortgage, or ARM, allows the lender to increase or decrease the interest rate during the life of the loan. If the rate changes, it will affect the monthly mortgage payment. The change is determined by a specified index. To protect the borrower and the lender, minimums and maximums are set for the interest-rate fluctuation. For example, if the initial interest rate on a one-year adjustable loan is 10 per- cent with an annual cap or floor of 2 percent, the borrower is guaranteed that the rate will not increase or decrease more than 2 percentage points a year. If this same loan has a lifetime cap and floor of 6 percent, then over the life of the loan the interest rate will never exceed 16 percent or drop below 4 percent. Fixed-Rate Mortgage A fixed-rate mortgage guarantees one interest rate over the life of the loan. This allows the principal and interest payment to remain constant. FHA, VA and conventional loans can have fixed rates. Graduated-Payment Mortgage In a graduated-payment mortgage, the monthly payments increase over the term of the loan at set intervals. Usually, the payments begin low and gradually increase for five to 10 years. Then they become fixed. During the first years of repayment, the payment amount will not cover the total interest due. Instead, some interest will be deferred. This plan actually increases the outstanding balance of the loan through what is called negative amortization. The graduated-payment mortgage is designed for borrowers whose income is likely to increase steadily during the term of the loan, so it may allow a borrower to qualify for a higher loan amount.

The purpose of these community-wide initiatives is to demonstrate that by coor- dinating resources and creating a single community-wide system or approach to prevention, en- forcement, treatment, after-care, and education; communities can, over time, achieve substantial’ reductions in the demand for — and consequently the use of — il- legal drugs and alcohol. Such a system will place an emphasis on the coordination of rather than duplication of current efforts. As many as 12 areas throughout the United States will es | For A New Or Used Car... le. . . Otis Jeffries be selected to receive $100,000 per year for two years. This first phase will allow for organization, planning and development of the community-wide system. The se- cond phase will include the availability of grants for $3 million each for eight of the twelve groups for implementa- tion purposes. The Foundation program is in- tended for medium-sized com- munities whose total population does not exceed 250,000. The Mid- East Commission, consisting of Beaufort, Bertie, Hertford, Mar- tin and Pitt Counties, with a total population of under 250,000, is one of only two areas east of Raleigh that has qualified to compete for this program. If you have any questions or know of groups that ought to be notified please contact Mr. Bob Paciocco, Executive Director, Mid-East Commission at 946-8043 in Washington, North Carolina.
