General Raoul Cedras beat death demonstrators support- dng the return of democratically ected President Jean Bertrand ide. A week later, the New Times reported that police ake upanother pro-democracy demonstration “with clubs and rifle ‘Butts...[Four men were seen being dragged away and a pregnant Woman was knocked to the ground and kicked in the stomach.” Pho- los in our newspapers show US. brass co-mingling with the very game Haitian military bigwigs they were supposedly sent tooverthrow. This is nothing new. The ties be- tween the US. government and the Haitian military go back de- cades. Despite a constant under- qhining of the democratic process, the Haitian people have demon- strated an extraordinary dedica- tion to the cause of democracy—a ‘dedication that has resulted in sig- fificant victories against enormous odds. Through strikes, demonstra- tions and other overwhelming dis- plays of the popular will, the Hai- tians have, over the past eight years, deposed the 30-year-old dic- tatorship of the Duvaliers, and the military regimes of General Henri Namphy and General Prosper Avril. In 1990 a similar lavalas or “avalanche” of support swept the fieople’s priest, Father Aristide, to office in the fairest election in itian hi . But each victory for won by the Haitian pfleople has been subtly and riot so shbtly undermined by the US. t’s equivocal policies ard the democratic forces and ifs quite unequivocal and long- idanding connections to the Hai- fan military elite. (Let us not for- get that the United States first invaded Haiti in 1915 to prevent a democratic revolution and when the Marines finally pulled out in 1933, they left behind the very military establishment which has terrorized the Haitian people ever since.) Tt bloody, aborted elec- tions of 1987 provide one example of this policy of supporting Hai- tian democracy in words but not deeds. As the elections approached, violence against Haitian demo- crats escalated. But even after two presidential candidates had been assassinated and the independent electoral council’s headquarters was burned to the ground, the Reagan administration certified to Congress that General Namphy’s government was “making progress in human rights.” This certifica- tion allowed military aid to flow to the junta so that it could continue terrorizing the civilian population. Only after soldiers slaughtered voters lined up at a polling site, forcing the cancellation of the elec- tions, did the United States finally cut off military aid. A similar cri- sis during the preparation for the 1990 election, which eventually resulted in Father Aristide’s elec- tion, provided the United States with the opportunity to weigh in constructively on the side of Hai- tian democrats, but once again, the U.S. equivocated, to the ben- efit of the anti-democratic mili- tary establishment. The crisis was occasioned by the return to Haiti of two men charged with criminal human rights abuses: Roger Lafontant, the former head of the Tonton Macoutes—the political police under the Duvaliér dicta- torship—and Williams Regala, a Duvalierist general widely blamed for commanding the 1987 election day massacre. The two immedi- ately set to work reconstructing the anti-democracy terror network. at The provisional civilian govern- ment ofErtha Pascal-Trouillot was unwilling or unable to execute warrants for their arrest. Astrong statement by the United States in support of the rule of law in Haiti, and thus the arrest of Lafontant and Regala, would have strength- ened the position of the democracy forces. Instead, the very opposite signal was sent. Former president Jimmy Carter was planninga fact- finding trip to Haiti to assess the prospects for a peaceful election. The democratic forces in Haiti urged Carter to make his visit con- ditional on the arrest or expulsion or Lafontant and Regala, a re- quest which Carter ignored. I had been a visiting guest at the founding convention of KONAKOM, a grassroots peasant organization, in 1986, and in 1990 Victor Benoit, the secretary-gen- eral of KONAKOM and the pro- spective presidential candidate of the National Front for Change and Democracy (FNCD), approached me and the New Alliance Party (NAP), which I chair, asking for financial support to ensure that the poorest of Haiti’s citizens would be able to pay the filing fee re- quired of candidates. NAP asked the Rainbow Lobby, a grassroots citizen’s organization, for help, and together we raised over $10,000 for KONAKOM to put up a full slate of candidates for the National Assembly and local offices. With KONAKOM’s cooperation, the Rainbow Lobby organized, and I helped to conduct, a Capitol Hill briefing for members of Congress " publicize the threat to democ- acy represented by Lafontant and Regala. Members of the Rainbow Lobby deluged the Carter Center in Atlanta with let- ters and phone calls, and set up a picket outside his office on the day of President Carter's departure for iis Perey in her honor. A outpouring Sse the returtr of The Haitian Evasion Haiti, urging him to cancel his trip unless the two Macoutes were ar- rested or expelled. Carter refused. But as the Rainbow Lobby pre- pared to arrange a Congressional lobbying visit for Benoit, the Hai- tians suddenly pulled out. Robert Holly, the political officer in the US. embassy in Port-au-Prince, had warned KONAKOM's leader- ship that it would be “dangerous” for them to associate with me and my fellow democracy activists in the United States. The Haitians capitulated to this threat and cut off their connections with the in- dependent political movement in America. A month later, a major- ity of the FNCD membership re- jected Benoit’s candidacy for presi- dent and joined the lavalas of Hai- tians who drafted Father Aristide as their candidate. Aristide won with 70% of the vote, trouncing the U.S.-backed candidate, Marc Bazin. Once the Haitian people had succeeded in holding the first free election in their history and had overwhelmingly chosen Aristide their leader, the U.S. gov- ernment, rather than enthusiasti- cally supporting the victory of de- mocracy in Haiti, went out of its way to discredit Father Aristide’s administration. After the coup by Cedras, the U.S. Ambassador worked overtime to steer journal- ists to Aristide’s political adver- saries eager to defame the presi- dent. From the beginning the State Department implied that Aristide “provoked” the coup, and blamed the continuing crisis on the President’s “intransigence.” It is pot surprising, therefore, that the ‘Clinton administration’s “inva- sion” looks more like a “evasion.” If our troops have been sent to Haiti to restore democracy, why is the anti-democratic military establish- ment being left in place? Why are the criminals who have terrorized the Haitian people for so long be- ing let off scott-free? Why are Fa- ther Aristide’s supporters (at least 70% of the country) still being bru- talized in the streets? What is be- ing done to protect President Aristide on his return to his na- tion? It is time for the U.S. to remove the thugs it set upin power in Haiti, so that the Haitian people can get on with the building of democracy. The removal of the military must come with a public accounting of our government's complicity with the dictatorship throughout most of this century. Anything less is a hypocritical manipulation of the good will of the American people and of the Haitian people’s — struggle for democracy and justice. Clayton appoints new staffers Congresswoman Eva. M. Clayton announced today the ap- pointment of Dana Gresham, staff assistant, in the Washington of- fice and Joyce Mourning Mitchell, case worker, in the Greenville Dis- trict office.

Vosburgh, prominent defense attorney of Washington, North Carolina, filed as a candi- date for Resident Superior Court Judge of the Second Judicial Dis- trict on Friday, February 4, 1994. Vosburgh issued the following statement in a press release: “One of my life’s ambitions has been to be a Superior Court Judge. That desire began when I used to cutclasses at Durham High School and listen to prominent attorneys, Victor Bryant, Ralph Strayhorn, Percy Reid, Art Vann, and many others try cases in the Superior Court.” “I would work diligently to re- store the appointment of a second Superior Court Judge for this Ju- dicial District. In 1993 the Legis- lature was prepared to approve a second judgeship for Judicial Dis- trict 2, which had been recom- mended by the Administrative Office of the Courts, but it was summarily dismissed as a result of opposition from the incumbent. The Criminal Court docket in Beaufort County alone justifies a second Superior Court Judge in the Second Judicial District. There are people who have remained in jail in excess of a year awaiting trial on serious criminal charges and there are also people who are out on bond for serious criminal offenses awaiting trial who are committing similar criminal of- fenses while awaiting trial. Fear of the system and the efficiency with which it works is a deterrent to crime. That fear is only gener- ated when the system works swiftly. At the moment, many criminals who have committed vio- lent crimes would rather serve a sentence in an over-crowded and non-functional punitive system than be on parole or probation and be required to pay restitution and comply with other strict and struc- tured conditions of probation as an alternative to prison. In order to take care of the case load and permit the system to operate prop- erly and swiftly, it is absolutely essential that a second Superior Court judgeship be established in this District. There should be an explanation from the incumbent as to why he summarily rejected a - second judgeship being created for this District.” Vosburgh has served as Chief Deputy Commissioner of the North Carolina Employment Security Commission, which is the agency overseeing the employment in- surance system of this state. In that capacity, he heard all appeals before they reached the next level of thejudicial system, which is the Court of Appeals. Mr. Vosburgh also served from 1973 to 1977 asa member of the Beaufort County Board of Elections. He is presently a sitting member of the North Carolina Property Tax Commis- sion, which entertains appeals at what is equivalent to the Superior Court level from all over the State of North Carolina on property evaluation disputes. In 1968 dur- ing the reorganization of the court system, he served as prosecutor for the last two Superior Court sessions because of the non-avail- ability of the regular prosecutors, Herbert Small, and Billy Mayo. Vosburgh is married to the former Louise Howell of Fayettville, North Carolina. They have two sons, Don, 25, and Rich- ard, 20. He has been active in community affairs since moving to Washington in 1964. Among his activities are: Youth League base- ball coach, Commissioner of Jr. Babe Ruth Baseball League, Opti- mist League soccer coach, certi- fied soccer referee, Assistant Scout- master and Scoutmaster of Troop 99, Order of the Arrow Troop Coun- selor for Troop 99, Troop 99 Com- mittee Member, Black Beard Dis- trict Committee Member, barber- shop quartet singer, former Direc- tor of Pamlico Sound Barbershop Chorus, member and soloist with the First United Methodist Church choir, and many other civil activi- ties and contributions to the City of Washington, particularly those involving the youth of the county. Vosburgh further stated: “Though I have been a defense counsel for most of my practice, I have also been private prosecu- tion in many cases. I would be a very hard taskmaster for defense counsel and District Attorneys alike, but I would always treat all of them as professionals with diffi- cult jobs working diligently in a While the “DEAL” is on...

The Ronald McDonald House 2 : : switches from pop tabs to Scott labels | The Ronald McDonald House of Eastern North Carolina would like to thank the public for collecting pop tabs and supporting their or- ganization. Four years ago, the Ronald McDonald House (RMH) asked individuals, groups andcom- panies to collect pop tabs from aluminum soda cans. The RMH receives money from a local recycling company for the tabs that they collect. When the project first started, they earned about .60¢ per pound. Unfortu- nately, the price of aluminum has dropped to less than .30¢ per pound. “We were thrilled to see so many people collecting tabs for us,” says Stephanie Barnard, public rela- tions director. “However, we were surprised and disappointed to see the price of aluminum cut in half.” Meanwhile, the staff and volun- teers at the House spent hours consolidating tabs and takingthem to a local recycling facility for nomi- nal return. Often times their pop tab collectors will spend $3-$4 mailing a box of tabs to them which are worth about .30¢. FOR THESE REASONS, THE RONALD MCDONALD HOUSE: HAS DECIDED TO STOP AC- CEPTING POP TABS, EFFEC- TIVE NOVEMBER 1,1994. If youor your organization would like to continue saving pop tabs for the RMH, please turn them in to your local recycler. In Greenville, you may turn them in to Glisson’s Enterprises on the Stokes High- way (758-2538). Glisson’s will for- ward a check to the House for the value of the tabs. Instead of pop tabs, the House requests that you collect the bar code labels off of Scott brand paper products for them. These products include any toilet paper, paper tow- els, napkins or baby wipes with the “Scott” name on them . Cottonelle, Viva and Baby Fresh brands are also included. Scott Paper Company will do- nate .10¢ to The Ronald McDonald House for every label that they collect. “Labels are much easier to col- lect than pop tabs because they are clean and can be mailed to us,” says Barnard. Ifyour organization is interested in collecting labels for the RMH, please mail them to Ronald McDonald House, 549 Moye Bou- levard, Greenville, N.C, 27834. The Ronald McDonald House of Eastern North Carolina provides lodging or a “home away from home’ for the families of seriously {ll children visiting the Children’s Hospital in Greenville. The RMH has served over 3000 families since it opened in 1987.
