( 2 THE EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA'S MINORITY VOICE - SINCE 1987 Greenville notes the p; of Mr. George Garrett A faithful, devoted husband to his wife, a loving father to his children and family, and a role model and inspiration to all who knew him. . . All appropriately descriptive phrases to use when referrring to Mr. George Francis Garrett. Just as accurate are civil rights activist and humanitarian. An avid baseball fan, Garrett played baseball with the Greenville all-stars. He later organized alittle league that was headquartered at what is now the south Greenville recreation center. This was a means to remove our youths from the streets and place them in su- pervised, wholesome recreational activities. Though never loud or boister- ous, Mr. Garrett never hesitated to speak up on any of the issues that would help improve our way of life. He was driven by his com- passion and convictions regarding the struggle for civil rights. Mr. Garrett would picket and/or boy- cott any business concern that denied employment, career growth opportunities, etc. To African Americans that were offered to anyone else. There were even times when he was known to demon- strate solo, but his convictions never lessened. Heis credited with bringing enough focus to work places like the telephone company, Piggly Wiggly and others, to se- cure employment for African Americans. A former president of ‘the Pitt county branch of the South- ern Christian Leadership Confer- ence, he belonged to many civic, social, and fraternal organizations. Mr. Garrett was a faithful mem- ber of the york memorial Ame Zion Church. In June 1990, Garrett was named father of the year by York Memorial. In recognition of his valiant civicefforts, Greenville city Mayor Nancy Jenkins declared October 15th, (Mr. Garrett’s 90th Birthday) “George Francis Garrett Day!” OICE¢E ee hy) —S at East Carolina University, NC 27858- = 4353 Joyner Library Greenville, PERIODICALS There is a quote that says, “al- ways be like the gentle snowflake: leave your mark... But never a scar.” There is a definite mark on the life of each of us who was fortunate enough to have been touched by George Garrett and who now bid him a solemn fare- well. Wherever a need existed, Mr. Garrett was found busy trying to help bring about a change. . . a positive change...a change for good... Giving substance to the lines of the poet who wrote: “. . . to a suffering fellowman, let me do it while I can. No delay, for it is plain. I shall not pass this way again.” Faye White, Staff Writer 11th Annual Miss Fashionetta Held Thirty six young ladies were for- mally presented to the Greenville community on Saturday, Decem- ber 10, at 8:00 p.m., at C.M.

Autism week proclaimed in North Carolina Autismis the fourth most preva- lent developmental disability, be- hind mental retardation, epilepsy, and cerebral palsy. Autism affects one-to-two of every 1,000 persons. Four out of five are male. Autism affects all races and socio-economic classes. Autism is a disorder of communication and behavior and is abrain dysfunction. Some symp- toms include apparent insensitiv- ity to pain; inappropriate laugh- ing or giggling; sustained odd play; continual spinning of objects; or tantrums. In Pitt County there are four classrooms for children with au- tism. These pte are located at Elmhurst Elementary School, Third Street School, A.G. Cox Middle School, and Eastern El- ementary School in Greenville, and at A.G. Cox Middle School in Winterville. These classes serve approximately 25 students with autism.

Photo By Jim Rouse independent party I have spent the weeks since the November 8 election studying re- sults from around the country and Iamstruck by a number of factors. The Republicans picked up a sub- stantial congressional advantage by campaigning against a sprawl- ing, debt-ridden and tax-hungry' government, that they themselves participated in creating; the Demo- crats, forced to defend that gov- ernment in all its gridlock and ineptitude, lost their congressional edge in doing so. In contrast, the independents (and by indepen- dents here I mean the broad spec- trum of multi-partyists who lead and vote for the variety of third parties in America) provided much of the substantive democracy and fiscal reform agenda that the Re- publicans successfully coopted and rode to victory. The independents gained political ground, and suc- ceeded in making a dent in the “two-party consciousness” of the country’s major media. The inde- pendent success stories of the 1994 election season are, for the most part, known to all of us. The Liber- tarian Party, while describing its own results as “mixed .. . but gen- erally upbeat,” elected seven Lib- ertarians to public office, re-elected three and picked up ballot status in five states, bringing the total number of their ballot lines to 23. The national Patriot Party, with which I am affiliated, won ballot status in Minnesota and held bal- lot status in Pennsylvania. The Independence Fusion Party of New York—which grew out of the com- bined efforts of Patriot Party ac- tivists, political scientist Dr. Gor- don Black, and myself—won bal- lot status through a highly publi- cized campaign which saw Ross Perot endorsing the IFP guberna- torial candidate, Tom Golisano, and making one of Perot’s stron- gest pro-third party statements to date. (Several other attempts at ballot status in New York did not succeed. The Pro-Choice Party, an effort by a network of NOW-asso- ciated activists, did not submit the requisite number of petition sig- natures. The Black-oriented Free- dom Party, an effort inspired by the Reverend Al Sharpton fell short of signatures as well. But while Freedom’s ballot status bid failed, it remains a force for independent politics in the African American community. And Reverend Sharpton, together with his close colleague the Reverend Jesse Jack- son, have been putting forth the idea of an independent “rainbow” party with some vigor.) The Pa- triot Party of Alabama won the party’s first elected public official. The Green Party also had a strong year, picking up major party bal- lot status in New Mexico and Maine. Maine, of course, elected an independent governor, Angus King. All that said, it seems to me that this is an opportune moment for all independents—with all our ideological and tactical differ- ences—to sit down and discuss our respective prospects and review the possibilities for joint strate- gies up to and including fielding a single presidential candidate in 1996. Right now the Republicans are assessing their victory. But there are substantial internal di- visions within that party that must, and will, be overcome in the interests of a unified bid to defeat a vulnerable Bill Clinton in 1996. On their part, the Democrats are (continued on page 2) MOTHER ROUSE IN SOUTH CAROLINA. The weather was right and the fellowship was Publisher Jim Rouse is shown return to your roots. love.

The HSUS is urging con- sumers who purchase meat, eggs and dairy products to “shop with compassion” by choosing more humanely produced animal prod- ucts. “The holidays are traditionally viewed as a time to splurge — dietary and health concerns are secondary to the holiday festivi- ties. Consequently, the use ofeggs, meat and dairy products in- creases,” says Melanie Adcock, HSUS director for farm animals. “This is the perfect time for con- sumers to pressure their grocers to support more humane farming methods.” Due to public demand for more humane choices, many supermar- ket chains now carry eggs from REALIZING THE DREAM AS A NATION WE'VE COME A LONG WAY IN RECOGNIZING THE DIGNITY AND CIVIL RIGHTS OF EACH AND EVERY INDIVIDUAL.

Com- peting elements from Jesse Jack- son to Al From (of the Democratic Leadership Council) are trying to assert ideological and political leadership in a party that is in serious—some would say termi- nal—disarray. The independents, taken as a whole, are analogously situated. We embrace diverse viewpoints, constituencies and levels of orga- nizational development. I think it is fair to say that whichever of these three forces consolidates it- self and sets its course most swiftly, (and most in sync with the anti- two party sentiment growing among the American people—here we have the advantage), will win _ the White House in 1996. Nothing less is at stake. “I fully support these communi- ties and look forward to the contin- ued growth of this area,” said Clayton. “The experience and knowledge gained throughout the application process is invaluable and placed all of the communities in a position of advantage for fu- ture economic self-development.” From Page 1 Autism Week is Second Vice-President.

The European strain of the moth, whose females are flightless, is already established in the Northeast United States and sections of northeastern North Carolina. The proposed N.C. spray areas are: * About 640 acres (one square mile) near Holden Beach in Brunswick County. One male moth was trapped at this location. The moth contained two genetic mark- ers strongly indicating an Asian gypsy moth heritage. * Approximately 640 acres near Shallotte. Two male moths were trapped in this area during the 1994 survey. These moths also con- tained two markers indicative of an Asian gypsy moth heritage. * About 2,560 acres (four square miles) along Half Hell Swamp. One male moth, was trapped in this swamp during the summer. The moth contained two genetic mark- ers inclicative of an Asian gypsy moth heritage.

Alan wants to wait awhile to further his education, but in the meantime, he will have a good- paying job as a machine operator at Shields. Most industrialized countries have provided students with such opportunities for years. This year, Congress passed President Clinton’s School-to-Work Oppor- tunities Act, andthe United States finally took action to assure that everyone — not just those going immediately to college — has a chance to get the kind of education and training that leads to a career with a future. “School-to-Work is based on the notion of partnerships,” says U.S. Secretary of Education Richard W. Riley. “Partnerships involving schools, businesses and labor, par- ents and teachers, students and employers, and states and the fed- eral government. “We're inviting states to look at high school and what’s available immediately after graduation — apprenticeships, community col- leges, technical schools — and bring it all together in one seam- less whole that creates opportuni- ties for students to become suc- cessful employees and entrepre- neurs.” Secretary Robert Reich, whose Department of Labor shares re- sponsibility for the federal role in school-to-work, says, “The connec- tion between what students learn whilein school and what they earn later in life is crystal clear. Busi- ness and industry joining with schools to ensure students learn what they need to get to a good job and get ahead is what school-to- work is all about.

Such funds might be used to recruit and provide assistance to employers in providing work-based learning opportunities for students, provide training for teachers, employers, workplace mentors and counsé- lors; or work with localities to ré- cruit and retain students. In addition, local communities can compete for “partnership” grants to suppOn efforts to bring together employers, publicsecond- ary and postsecondary educational institutions, labor organizations and other local entities. “Urban/rural opportunities” grants are available to support efforts in high poverty areas. Other grants serve the special needs of Native American youth. Riley said various techniques offer great promise in creating statewide sys- tems to ease the transition from school to work, including: o Career academies - “schools within schools” offering occupa- tionally focused training to high school juniors andseniorsinfields : such as environmental technology, ‘ ¥ applied electrical science, horti- : culture, sports education, business education,-travel and~tourism,- and engineering; o Cooperative education part- nerships - secondary and post-sec- ondary school programs that pro- vide students with school and work experiences. Co-op participants are émployed at a worksite related to their field of study while enrolled in school; o Tech-prep education - a four- year, planned sequence of study for a technical field, requiring ‘a formal agreement between a se¢- ondary and postsecondary school. Beginning in the 11th grade, and extending through two years of postsecondary occupational edu- cation or an apprenticeship pro- gram of at least two years, partici- pants complete the program with a certificate or associate degree; o Youth apprenticeship - com- bines structured, paid work and on-thejob training and mentoring experiences with related classroom instruction. Career awareness can begin in the elementary grades andcontinue through high school. | # In addition to a high school di- ploma and postsecondary certifi- cate or degree, participants receive a certificate of mastery of occupa- tional skills; o Adult education - one in six high school diplomas is earned through completion of Genera} Equivalency Diploma (GED) re- quirements and other alternative diploma programs, such as the External Diploma Program. These alternative methods of completing high school] may be used to enter a School-to-Work system. ; Upon graduation, school-to-work students will have at least twe credentials: a high school diploma and a skills certificate tied to na; tional skill standards as validated by a National Skill Standards Board. Theskills certificates, avail- able for a broad range of occupa- tions, will be accepted by industry and recognized by employers na- tionwide. Recently, 13 CEOs representing the nation’s leading companies met with President Clinton, Riley and Reich at the White House to an- nounce the creation of the School- to-Work National Employer Lead- ership Council (NELC) to promote and encourage School-to-Work pro- grams. The NELC is scheduled to conduct its first meeting on Janu- ary 11 in Florida. NELC chairman and Ford Mo- tor Co. chairman/CEO Alex Trotman says, “The members of the NELC recognize that it is ab- solutely imperative that the United States has a workforce which is fully capable of competing with any other workforce — anywhere in the world. There’s no doubt in my mind that our School-to-work efforts will help achieve this.” Reich agrees. “Schools can’t do this alone. Business, industry, la- bor unions all have an interest in making sure that today’s young people are ready for the high-wage, high-skill jobs of the future. Schoo}- to-work can keep our workforce productive and America competi- tive. “ School-to-Work,is part of a _ broader federal effort, Riley says, to help states and communities improve the quality of education. “The foundation is the Goals 2000: Educate America Act, which also provides support for state and lo- cal planning, leading to serious education reform.

In the first quarter of 1993, the U.S. Department of Commerce adopted new measure- ment procedures that attributed exports to states according to the ZIP code of the exporter, rath¢r than to the state of origin recorded on the Shipper’s Export Declara- tion. The Wachovia North Carb- lina World Trade Index began us- ing the new method of allocation at that time. The agency has now reversed its decision to discontinue the “origin of movement” measure- ment basis formerly used for tb Index. . Because this method more closely corresponds to employment and similar economic activity in the state, Wachovia has returnéd to the “origin of movement” bagis for calculating the Index. ° The Index also is adjusted for the under-counting of state exports and imports. In some cases, YP- porting forms submitted to the Customs Bureau are improperly completed, resulting in under-re- porting of trade. The new export and import figures contain adjust- ments to compensate for this un- der-reporting. ‘10 things that teachers Cs | wish parents could do 6. Support school rules and goals. .

No matter how you look at it, “Spanking is a physical assault of a bigger person on a smaller one.” Discipline means to teach, not pun- ishment, should be the norm for raising assertive, responsible and self-confident children. 2. “Spanking, whipping orhitting a child is nothing more than as- serting your authority because you are bigger than a child and have more power than the child. If spanking truly worked, adults would spank each other in the workplace, at colleges and in church. To all spankers and child hitters, you are nothing but bul- lies.” 3. To punish a child instead of spanking, use taking timeout or taking away privileges. This is better for the child emotionally and metally, even for the parent. Continue publishing articles like this one, forit will help my genera- tion raise a strong, more success- ful generation of young African- Americans. 4. The all-too-common picture of spanking - a powerful Black figure towering over ascreaming defense- less child - must be removed from the Black community, this so- called tradition forms part of the corrosive legacy left by the white. slavemaster who used this prac- tice in the extreme (whippings,. beatings, lashings) to foster vio- lence and inhibit love among our people. That this sorry practice is perpetuated in the family unit only shows how deep remain the scars of slavery. One of the best ways to reduce this intolerable behavior is to film or photograph the parents in action and show them the pic- ture. . 5. There is enough violence fac- ing our youth coming from outside elements; the home should be a secure and positive place. There are very effective ways of disci- plining children other than strik- ing them. A full-blown spanking only teaches a child to be fright- ened and resentful of his parents and that striking another human being is the only way to resolve conflict. Thank you EBONY, for this ar- , ticle and all others that inspire and educate. I realize that someone is quoting the proverb: “Spare the rod and spoil the child,” which means - vg “Children need physical punish- ment in order to develop.” Proverbs 13:24 says, “He that spareth his rod hateth his son; but he that loveth him chasteneth him bedtimes.” e : ; ° > titi MITSUBISHI () PIONEER’ Model HSU28 The Art of Entertainment . 4-HEAD VCR CASSETTE MIDI SYSTEM RECORDER Features: Amplifier: *100W/ch (7OH2-20kHz, +4 head “Universal remote *On-screen programming *Mult-brand remote «Automatic Model Z-A1000 Model F31632 31° COLORTRAK PLUS™ STEREO MONITOR-RECEIVER eMaster Touch® Universal Remote °5-Jack Video/Audio Monitor Panel *On-Screen Clock, sien & Alarm Imp 90 [24 : Model Pag7z9WK 46" HOME THEATRE” PROJECTION STEREO MONITOR-RECEIVER__E *Full color .

I hope that everyone got what he or she wanted for Christmas and that Santa was good to all of you. I would like to thank everyone who tuned in to WOOW Radio Sta- tion for “Beatrice Maye’s Moments of Community Reflections.” After ten years with a perfect atten- dance never tardy or late, a live- show with the exception of three tapings, I am taking a leave of absence or resigning as of Sunday, December 25, 1994. I thank Jim Rouse, owner/man- ager, for giving me the opportu- nity to introduce myself to media (radio and television). I especially thank ‘Lil Sam for being a most gentlemanly gracious host, as well as all of the other fine friends there at WOOW who helped to make my “talk show” a most enjoyable expe- rience. Continue to read my column in the “M” Voice. Have a blessed New Year!

We have never passed this way before. But with our hand in the Father’s hand, we who know the Lord must let him lead the way. 5 Let’s resolve to combat these evils: cults, gangs, rising crime rates, drug abuse, unemployment, ‘ya teenage pregnancy, school drop- outs, child abuse, intergenerational poverty and oth- ers. On the other hand, here are some responses to those evils: an- gry outbursts, materialism, gos- sip, pursuit of pleasure, shooting and killing. 1994 is behind us - finished.
