| Eastern North Carolina's : Minority Voice What You See Is What You Get, What You Read Is What You Know & Save EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA’S MINORITY VOICE — SINCE 1987 > WASHINGTON, N.C. ... The "M" Voice newspaper camera is everywhere. Americans in Eastern North Carolina, the joy of The beauty of African mothers and daughters was a way of saying "Black is Beautiful." Photo by Jim Rouse | THE ‘M’ VOICE — WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 19 - SEPTEMBER 27, 1990-1 killed but peace is elusive in Liberia Most Liberians are said to be rejoicing over last Sunday’s vio- lent ouster of Samuel Kanyon Doe, a ruthless dictator whom they accused of plunging their country into economic ruins, tribal warfare and political up- heaval. Master Sergeant Doe who once boasted he was superman and that no bullet could harm him, was hit in a hail of gun shot blasts by rebel forces that almost blew off both of his legs. He died several hours later. Sergeant Doe was captured by rebel troops loyal to Prince Johnson in a surprised attack right under the nose of a five West African nation peace keeping force in Monrovia, Liberia’s capital. But it is unclear how he died. One report said he bled to death from gun shot wounds. Another report said he was either shot or hacked to death following an intense questioning concerning the whereabouts of millions of dollars he stole. He was also Use a "family" day for doing things together These days we're all so busy that often there's precious little time for getting family members to- gether. If this happens in your family, try setting aside a period of time each week that is convenient for all of you. Then use that “family” day or afternoon for doing some- thing together. You might plan a chess or checker tournament. Or spend the time discussing current events or special topics or telling jokes. Together, you could start a new hobby, such as stamps, rock col- lecting, or baseball cards. ' To help planning go more smoothly, you might choose a general topicof the day, you might visit a train depot or an airport. And if your family is energetic, you might like to learn a new sport or participate in a familiar one. Perhaps jogging, hiking or nature walks can become a family favor- ite. Panne Keep family interests and needs in mind as you try to plan any family projects. And be sure to think about the amount of time you have tospendand the facilities that might be available. A short trip out of town may provide ad- ditional education and fun activi- ties such as Cliffs of the Neuse, Maritime Museum, Tobacco Mu- seum, or any park, train ride. Pack a picnic and spend the day as a family unit. These special little trips or family outings will develop into tremendous memories that are everlasting. Apply for retirement 3 months early “People who plan to apply for Social Security retirement benefits or Medicare should start the ap- plication process about three moths ahead of time,” Paul Sasser, Social Security manager in Kinston, said today. While most applications can be completed very quickly, some people will need extra time to lo- cate necessary documents. In ad- dition, months of Medicare cover- age or cash benefits may be lost if a person delays applying.

The telephone rep- resentatives are available 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. all business days. The Kinston office is located at 701 N. Queen Street. Change proposed by SCLC by LaTanya Boothe The request posed by the Southern Christian Leadership Conference to the Greenville City Council is to change West Fifth Street from Evans Street west to Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue. the street picked to bear King’s name leads to the county seat of tandtoEast Carolina Medical School, which is a symbol of pride and pros- : perity for eastern North Caro- lina.

For weeks Sergeant Doe had barricaded himself inside his heavily fortified ;executive' utive mansion, but decided last Sun- day to come out and visit with the head of the peace keeping force when he was hit. However, with Sergeant Doe out of the picture, it is unclear who is in charge. As of Septem- ber 9, at least four persons have laid claim to the presidency. They include, Charles Taylor of the national Patriotic Front. Also Prince Johnson of the Independent National Patriotic Front, Dr. Amos Sawyer of the Economic community of West African States, and Gen. David Nemley who said he was chosen by Sergeant Doe’s loyalists after the corrupt dictator was cap- tured. However, none of these so- called new presidents have been recognized by a single country ‘of the PROTEST AGAINST DRUGS .. .

In a related development, Tom Woweiyu, a spokesman for Taylor's rebel faction said Mon- day over the British Broadcast- ing Corporation his group would agree to negotiate with the war- ring parties if the peace keeping force sent into Liberia by ECOWAS leaves the country. Meanwhile, as of deadline Tuesday, it was reported that forces loyal to Johnson were con- ducting an all out search in Monrovia for supporters of Ser- geant Doe, killing them as they go along. Woweiyu vowed that the Taylor troops which control over 95 percent of the country, will continue fighting until they ap- parently capture parts of Monrovia that are in the hands of Johnson. a Oe an ple. in. The other picture department and Judge Hastings Ousted U.S. District Court Judge Alcee Hastings may be down but he’s not out. Not by a longshot. The first Black federal judge to be impeached and removed from office is headed for a Octo- ber 2 Florida runoff against frontrunner and former journal- ist Jim Minter in the Democratic race for secretary of state. Hastings polled 306,686 votes in last week’s primary election to 349,462 for Minter. He edged ex Ku-Klux Klansman John Rogers for the runoff spot. Rogers had 268,692. ~~And, although the odds seems against the 54-year-old Hastings, nobody is writing him off. — Simon Ferro, Florida Demo- cratic chairman, says Hastings” career is on the line, but “no doubt, Alcee Hastings is a very charismatic person...He’s out there hustling and speaks to the issues. He’ll get a good number of votes.” “This proves Alcee still had friends around the state of Florida,” said former Democratic chairman, Charles Whitehead. “There are many people that still question the validity of the charges against Alcee and many who feel everybody’s entitled to one or two mistakes in their lifetime.” In his 1989 impeachment, the U.S. Senate said Hastings engaged in a “corrupt conspiracy” to get a $150,000 bribe. His supporters then wore T-shirts reading “Not Guilty, So Say We All.” Political analysts said last Tuesday’s results hint forgive- ness for Hastings and a sense he was wrongly accused. “I never sell Alcee Hastings short,” said Van Poole, Florida GOP chairman. “He’s a dynamic person and a great orator, and even though he’s been im- peached, I wouldn’t count him out. He makes any race, a lively contest.” Hastings is a dynamic speaker with faithful support among many black and white voters. His name recognition gives him an edge against runoff foe, Minter. The winner faces Republican incumbent, Jim Smith. Florida Democratic Party Director, Alan Stonecipher, said “it’s conceivable” that Hastings can win. “It'll be different in the general election campaign,” and Whitehead pointed out that the impeachment will inevitably become an issue. “But Alcee is accustomed to starting at the bottom of the hill and climbing towards the top,” he said.

A street sign bearing King’s name could serve as a reminder of how far Greenville has come and how far the city has to go. Let us remember Dr. King’s vi- sion of a world where race doesn’t matter, in his own words where people “will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.” City establishes tree team Citizens of Greenville will soon be able to see results from a new coordinated effort involving trees in the City. The City of Greenville has established a “Tree Team” to study tree issues in the city’s ju- risdiction. The team is made up of four people - Environmental Planner Donald Belk, Buildingand Grounds Superintendent Ken Jackson, Parks Superintendent Walter Stasavich, and Jeff Byrd of Greenville Utilities Commission. The widening of Evans Street is completed. Now that the miles of pavement are down, it is time to look at what goes beside the road. Making Evans Street beautiful is the responsibility of two different groups. The NC Department of Transportation will handle the task from Greenville Boulevard to Howell Street and the City of Greenville will work from Howell to 10th Streets. Greenville’s Community Appearance Commis- sion (CAC) played a major role in recommending the types of greenery to be planted by DOT along this section of roadway. Crepe myrtles are scheduled to be planted. The City Tree Team and CAC will plan for the City-owned section. Because the existing public right-of-away on Evans Street is so narrow (from 7 to 10 feet), planting of large shade trees will not be possible. So the Tree Team is looking at other alternatives. The idea for the Tree Team came out of a series of meetings organized by Senior Planner Libby Anderson. On June 14th the City invited several “tree experts” to talk with city personnel and rep- resentatives from local environ- mental groups. The guests were NC Urban Forester Tex Kunselman, NC State University’s Dr. Jim McGraw, and Regional Forester Jim Key. The experts rec- ommended a more proactive and coordinated effort by the City. City Manager Ron Kimble ap- pointed the Tree Team shortly thereafter.

Seen at the N.C. State Fair for the past seven years, itattracted — thousands and is expected todo The Pitt County American Le- gion Agricultural Fair broke all records in attendance, exhibits, awards, midway entertainment, free entertainment and every other category in 1989 and has just one goal in mind for 1990...to top that record by bringing to eastern North Carolina the greatest, finest, most family ori- ented exposition that the region has ever seen. The fair will begin Octo- ber 1 and run through October 6. Elvy Forrest, Fair manager, summed it up by saying, “We ran ads last year publicly thanking our Fair patrons and all others involved, after the Fair was over, and we promised them even big- ger and greater things in 1990. Well, 1990 is here and we cer- tainly think we've fulfilled that promise. I’m looking for a 25% jump in attendance this year because we will have more ex- hibits, especially in livestock, more free entertainment, more added to the historic farm mu- seum, more midway and more things that haveneverbeen seen here before.” “Also, he added, “we've got more livestock shows than ever.” Forrest was refer- ring to the Hog Show on Monday night, October 1 and the two Lamb Shows. One Lamb Showis for Pitt County only on Wednes- day, October 3 at 7:00 pm and the other is for all of eastern North Carolina on Saturday, October 6 at 12:00 noon. Also there will be a Heifer Show at the livestock barn on Saturday, October 6 at 3:00 pm. If Forrests’ predictions are realized this year, attendance could top 100,000. In addition to livestock, the agricultural and commercial ex- hibit building is expected to be filled to capacity. The regions pride in agriculture, education, science and industry will be dis- played for all to see. In the Farm Museum, or Village of Yester- year, to which it is sometimes referred, there have been new 1990 FREE ATTRACTIONS displays added including a ca- boose and 100’ of track at the old depot. This exhibit of a turn of the century village oriented to agriculture is considered one of the finest of its type anywhere with 20 buildings packed with farm antiques. The building. Forrest stated, are not replicas but the real thing ... not built on the site, but moved to the site. “With a revamping of the fair- grounds last year,” said Forrest, “we have better access now and had arecord crowd visit the Farm Museum.” A $25,000 extension show ring and seating have been added to the livestock barn, Forrest said. “We are trying to put back into the fair the great- est county fair in the state,” he said. “We are now considered by many to be the state’s fastest growing fair out of 55 fairs to be held in North Carolina this year.” On The Midway Amusements of America have added over one million dollars worth of new equipment and much of it will be in Greenville this year with the midway being recognized in the last six years as the biggest midway east of Raleigh. There will be over 40 attractions from the kid rides to the major rides to the spectacu- lar rides to the shows and con- cessions, all powered by eight roaring generators. Amusements of America has played the Pitt county Fair for 17 years and has an excellent record of cleanli- ness and safety. This is one of America’s largest carnivals and 1990 marks their 50th anniver- sary tour over the eastern U.S. and Canada. Over 110 vehicles of all descriptions must be used to bring this huge arsenal of equipment to Greenville from Fayetteville before leaving Greenville the next week for the Georgia State Fair in Macon, Georgia. Free Attractions Never has there been more free attractions on the fairgrounds in the fair’s 71 years, as there will be in 1990, according to fair offi- cials. Bob Jones Petting Zoo and Circus Menagerie will be on the main midway all week brought to you by Dominos Pizza and the Coca Cola Bottling Company of Greenville. Nearby will be Cap- tain Tim’s High Diving Act which . will astound children of all ages with three exciting shows Tues- day through Saturday night. This is one of the oldest fairground acts currently touring in America. On the Independent Midway, Tuesday through Sat- urday, the Great Bear Show will be back for the second year and fair officials say that they are still getting requests for the show to be back this year and are de- lighted to bring back what the public wants. The bears will be giving three shows each night with a cage display in between. ABIG hit in 1989. On Wednes- day and Thursday, October 3 and 4, the auto thrill show, “Holly- wood Stunt World” will be back presented to you by Toyota East of Greenville, and the stuntmen will be driving all new Toyotas. This show is expected, as always, to be a Grandstand packed thriller with the Monster Car Crusher thundering the conclu- sion of each show with its mad- dening roar. The Buckswamp Cloggers will be back on Monday and Friday nights at 7:30 pm for the folk festival brought to you by Hooker and Buchanan, Inc. and Turnage Insurance Agency. This is another “big request” at- traction each year according to fair management. The old 1910 Carousel organ will belt our mid- way music at its usual spot at the main midway entrance with benches in front. This year on Tuesday through Saturday, a huge German Fairground organ will be present on the Indepen- dent Midway. This beautiful an- tique was built in Waldrich, Ger- many in 1899 and has been busy on many of Americas greatest ALL SMILES: Folk Festival featuring the Buck Swa the same in Greenville.

The daughter of a doorman and seamstress is an ac- complished pianist, who wooed the judges with her rendition of ‘Fantasy Impromptu-Opus 66” and her intelligence as well as her stunning beauty. A resident of the suburban Oak. Park on Chicago’s border- line, Vincent is the first Miss II- linois to grab the title since 1969 and first African-Ameri- can of Haitian descent to be- come Miss America. ‘‘T think we’ve killed the mis- conception that Miss America has to look a certain way and come from a certain back- ground,” said Vincent, noting that last year’s winner, Debbye Turner is also Black. Vincent, who is a third year law student at Duke Law School, speaks fluent French and Creole. Her confidence, talent and hard work won her a summer internship at a major New York City law firm. ‘‘T think the pageant is reach- ing out and looking for women like Miss Vincent who are very serious about their careers’ said Michael De Angelis, a part- ner in charge of Mudge, Rose, GWALTNEY CALIFORNIA 9 | GREAT DOGS PRODUCE SEEDLESS ~S9' Guthrie, Alexander & Ferdon’s summer program. “Obviously, the pageant is looking for the same type of per- son we were looking for-some- one who is professional, aca- demic, and serious about ol career,” said DeAngelis. said they recruited Vincent Me fall and weren't aware of her participation in the pageant. Even though Vincent won't be able to finish her internship, which began in May, DeAngelis said they were so impressed with her work that they have of- fered her a job after graduation based on an August review of her work. Describing Vincent as “bright, modest and down to earth,” DeAngelis said with a hint of pride in his voice,‘We - recognized her talents first-be- fore the pageant.” A 1988 music graduate of DePaul University, Vincent said she switched to corporate law because she enjoyed per- forming as a past-time. “Tt is not a difficult transition to make because music involves so much analytical skill,” said Vincent, who began playing the piano at age 11. Sporting a gold jacket with a black trim and a black skirt, Vincent told reporters her big- gest inspiration is her parents, whose discipline and support spurred her on. “They worked so hard to give us a good education and allowed me to develop my artistic abili- ty,” said Vincent, who has four sisters and a brother.

Williams A few weeks ago, this column discussed Wisconsin State Repre- sentative Annette “Polly” Wil- liams’ heroic success at getting the Wisconsin legislative to pass a one- year experimental school-choice program. The program will permit 1,000 of Milwaukee’s minority children to receive up to $2,500, budgeted for public schools, to at- tend private non-sectarian schools. Predictably, the public education establishment was up in arms. They saw it as a blow to their Atlanta to host Southeastern Jazz Forum Jazz artist showcases, jazz workshops, a “state of jazz” dis- cussion session, and a giant nine- state jam session—they’re all part of the 1990 Southeastern Jazz Forum. Sponsored by Southern Arts Federation, the Forum willbring together southeastern jazz art- ists, presenters, enthusiasts, and media representatives for a two- day exploration and celebration of this great American art form. The Forum is scheduled for October 6 and 7, and will take place in downtown Atlanta, with most events housed at the Hyatt Regency Hotel.

CONGRATULATIONS to Mr. Streeter Darrell Lamont Streeter, 20, of Farmville, has enlisted in the U.S. Army. He will be in basic training at Fort Jackson, South Carolina, and his enlistment is for a two- year period. Agraduate of Farmville High School, he is the son of Moses E. and Carolyn J.

SUBSCRIBE monopoly to give children of poor parents real education alterna- tives. The Wisconsin Association of District Administrators, along with the Education Association Council, brought suit to block the plan. On August 7,Judge Susan R. Steingass ruled the Milwaukee school-choice program constitu- tional. She added, “If giving par- ents and students choices in the manner of their education in- creases the quality of that educa- tion, the benefit insures not only to a few students in Milwaukee but to our educational system as a whole, both by the lessons learned and the education improved.” Her decision made my day, but more important, it may makes the lives, careers and aspirations of black parents and children languishing in a cesspool of educational medi- ocrity and callousness. Callousness, with a side dish of gall, is the right description. Herbert Grover, superintendent of publicinstruction, said of the plan, “This represents the abandonment of the common school, the institu- tion best able and most likely to provide an equal opportunity for success for all children.” He went on to lament, “We're going to have two school systems . . . both paid for by public money. One will have accountability, and one won't.” There is no greater crime to chil- dren, particularly black children, that that perpetrated by public schools in most big cities. Grover’s public schools have little or no accountability standards when many kids graduate from high school and cannot perform at an eighth grade level. To add insult to injury, the Milwaukee branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), joined with the school bureaucrats and the teacher’s union in the suit against the choice plan.

The NAACP is quick to indict school pro-choice advocates as racists. We wonder whether they'll pin the racist label on Polly Williams and all those black parents who support her plan.

The larger lesson from all this is that the way to help the poor, who want to help themselves, is to expand their choices. Establish vouchers for housing, school, health care, and other needs.

WHITE Attorney at Law oe, 18 HOWE STREET -—. NC are Parents are encouraged to learn television, tomake reading a priority, tomake a special effort to listen to their children and to “make education a family affair’. Homework, what are some benefits? — It not only teaches subject matter but responsibility — It gives parents a clue as to what is going on in school “More homes are destroyed by fusses than by funerals or fires.” “Juvenile delinquency is like charity - it often begins at home.” “Money can build a house, but it takes love to make it a home.” “Like charity, obesity begins at home.” “The most essential element in any home is God.” “Children may tear up a house, but they never break a home.” How to Encourage Your Child to Read Here are some tips for parents who want to encourage their chil- dren to read: ¢ Be a good role model. Read, and let your child know you enjoy it and benefit from it. Share inter- esting parts of your reading. ¢ Let your child see you use reading in daily life: preparing recipes, following directions, reading sports scores and picking a TV program. * Have things to read at home: magazines, newspapers, books. * Very young children should start a book collection, with a special place to keep it. Make birthdays and holidays occasions for giving books and magazine subscriptions. © At the library, help children learn how to choose books, but give them leeway in selecting what appeals to them. Librarians can help. * Don’t constantly challenge your children with difficult books. Allow them the luxury of easy reading. For reluctant or slow readers, suggest short, humorous poems that encourage rather than frustrate them. * Listen to your child read on a regular basis, and don’t be criti- cal. Praise the child’s successes and avoid correcting every word. Keep it fun; don’t turn it into a reading lesson. * Read to your children even after the learn to read. You can share books the child is not yet able to read but is ready for emo- tionally and intellectually. ° Show interest in what your children are reading.

Marriage is an institution of God’s own founding, and has had His blessing from the day when He presented Eve unto Adam and declared, “Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.” It comes as a surprise to a lot of young people to learn that there is no wedding ceremony in the Bible, and that he of which theminister readsisa “Minister's Manual,” which may contain one or several different forms, any of which is equally suitable. Yet the things which make up the ceremony reflect the spirit and teachings of Jesus and the apostles, and only those vows are required for which there is some definite command. But re- stn oe upon * Ld periment, it is important that the permanency and spirituality of marriage be emphasized. The second is a chal- lenge to those who are present: “For as much as these two per- sons have come hither to be made one in this holy estate, if there is any here who knows any just cause why they may not be joined together in marriage, I require him now to make it known, or ever after to hold his peace.” It would create a great sen- sation if some were to cry out, “I object! I declare the exist- ence of an impediment!” Yet there are times when people ought to object, rather than to let young people be tied up for life when they have no right to be. Such an objection, of course, would call for postponement of the wedding until the matter was cleared up, if indeed it should be. Responsible positions with progressive fire department requiring thorough working knowledge of modern firefighting and rescue principles, practices, and procedures. Night and shift work. High be acceptable to God. Divorce is one of the mest common impediments these days, for the Bible allows it only in case of adultery, and white it is not specifi stated, it is taken for granted by most minis- ters that the innocent party to a divorce may remarry. It is no pleasant matter for a minister to refuse to perform a ceremony, but he can go no further than the Bible allows. Quite often ne inquiry, the minister finds that whereas a divorce was granted for incompatibility, the real reason was adultery., but the fact was not mentioned in order to avoid publicity. In these days of lax and conflicting laws, aman who has been divorced and re- married may be married to his second wife in one state, the first oné in another state, and to nei- ther of them in a third. Such is the confusion when men depart from the law of God. Coercion is another impedi- ment. Some time ago the newspapers gave a lot of public- ity to the case of two men who traded daughters, eleven and sixteen, and married them. No person or minister with any sense of decency would be a party toa wedding of that kind, and any- body who knew the facts would be morally obligated to object. The “presence of disease,” of a type which would be transmit- ted to children, or cause them to be born physically or mentally defective, would also constitute those in love, but sooner or hard times will come, andthere . isn’t anything romantic about living on soup instead of beef steak; neither is anybody happy very long in a “tumble down . shack in the West,” in spite ofthe catchy tune of the song. When’ faced with adversity, some women will walk out on a man; others, who took their vows se- riously, will stand by their husbands and encourage them. Marriage is more than a meal: ticket, and love which will not stand hardships is not very deep. Sooner or later sickness, also, is going to come, and these vows | may mean in some cases, years. of care. In other instances it may : mean the woman will have to support the family. In any case, it will call for self-denial, pa- tience, and love. “As long as we both shall live” is one of the most sobering phrases of the promise. It means that at the end of the way there will be a flower-laden casket and an open grave - one of the two will have passed over into the great beyond. It is nothing short of an insult to God for people to take vows' like these, and then Everything looks to is a sponsor of the event at Black Rock on a beautiful site over- looking the Chowan River. are $12.50 and are avail- able from the Windsor Area Chamber of C , Post Of- fice Box572, Windsor, NC 27983. ,.

Jones, Jr. participates in _ press conference | State Representative Walter Jones, Jr., (D-9th District), was in Raleigh on Monday morning for a Press Conference announcing the | availability of a toll-free number of North Carolinians who have questions about candidates run- ning for Congress in North Caro- lina. Jones was invited to partici- pate in the conference along with U.S. Senator William Proxmire, Congressman Jim Leach, State Senator Leo Daughtry and State Representative Art Pope. The Center for National Independence in Politics, a non-partisan educa- tional research group based in Tucson, Arizona, is sponsoring the candidate information line in two states, North Carolina and Ne- braska. Former Presidents Jimmy Carter and Gerald Ford are hon- orary co-founders of the Center. CNIP’s intent is to furnish a non- partisan source of issue-oriented information to which voters can turn and trust when campaign rhetoric and gimmicks have them confused. North Carolina citizens ;can dial 1-800-733-VOTE to obtain biographical, funding and perfor- mance rating information on con- gressional candidates in their districts. Each candidate running for federal office has provided this information to CNIP. Information such as a candidate’s marital sta- tus or educational background, information on money the candi- date has received from political actions committees from 1983-88 and performance ratings from more than twenty different inter- est groups will be available to call- ers. Jones, who chairs the House Select Committee on Voter Par- ticipation, is a member of the na- tional Council on Government Ethics Laws (COGEL), and is well known for his legislative initiatives in the area of ethics and good government. Rep. Jones is widely recognized for his efforts in the area of public financing of cam- paigns and elections in North Carolina and was the 1988 recipi- ent of an Award of Appreciation from Common Cause for his work in campaign and election reform.
