Ms. Harper, 47, of 359 N. Rail road Street, is asecretary and book- keeper at W.H. Robinson Elemen- tary School.

She said she felt her views would alig~ very closely with his. As an African American, she said she could better represent th~ concerns of that constituency. “Because he was an African American and I am, I know that point of view. But that is not the whole issue. I want to be an alder- woman for all people.” Holloman said afterward he had no qualms about Ms. Harper serv- ing. It was part of the Democratic process, he said. Calvin Henderson, chairperson of Winterville Concerned Citizens, had submitted Ms. Harper’s name for appointment. “I am pleased, not because of the black or white (issue), but be- cause we were able to puta female In,” Asked if a white person could also represent minorities, Henderson replied, “It’s been done for a long time.

CONDOLENCES... ° WHERE HAVE. ALLTHE - FATHERS GONE? Father absence is becoming more commonplace in America, with separations, divorce rates and pre- marital pregnancies at epidemic levels. The traditional two-parent family is becoming an endangered species. Yet decades of research support the position that the ab- sence of fathers has a devastating effect on children. Consider the following: Half of all fatherless families in America live below the poverty line. Adolescents of father- less families are more likely to be sexually active and are morelikely to commit delinquent acts. Young adults who grow up in fatherless families are more likely to drop out of school, divorce and engage in drug and alcohol abuse. The best predictor of violent crime and burglary in a community is the proportion of households without fathers. That’s the bad news. The good news is that when the trend is reversed, positive results accrue for the children and their fathers. For example: Children with effec- tive fathers score higher on intelli- gence tests and are more comfort- able in new situations. They adapt to change more easily. A father’s involvement produces a more self- , controlled son who recognizes the need for restraint. Four major stud- ies of factors leading to the suc- cessful development of children have shown that youngsters who have an active, participative fa- ther demonstrate better thinking ability, increased empathy for oth- ers and a greater ability to rely on their own judgment. Women who rate high in the ability to plan their own futures tend to have fathers who encour- age them, show trust in their abili- ties and join them in endeavors. The positive involvement of fa- thers, perhaps more than any other factor, is the key to stemming the For quite a while now, you've known us as your local company, Sprint Carolina Telephone. And, over that time, we've worked to make things easier and less complicated for you =} Sprint. tide of poverty, crime and violence sweeping the world. Our families need fathers who are faithful, re- sponsible, loving and accountable. But where do we begin? How about in the home? Fathers and mothers staying together. Fathers and mothers loving each other. Fathers being there, and being good fathers to their chil- dren. Study after study confirms that growing up in a two-parent fam- ily, with the father taking an ac- tive role in his children’s lives, is a distinct advantage for America’s children. Yet those who place value on fatherhood in today’s cultural climate often face sharp criticism. The promotion of traditional families anchored by strong fa- thers flies in the face of much of the value-neutral, politically cor- rect public discourse. The idea that fatherhood and two-parent families are still im- portant to society is not readily embraced. But to those who believe the role of the father is vitally important to the welfare of the family and soci- ety, no more fundamental or criti- cal challenge faces families today. The ECSTto close season with an evening of mystery and suspense SLEUTH, one of the best plays of mystery and suspense in the modern theatre, will close the East Carolina Summer Theatre’s 1996 season beginning July 16. It ranks in the echelon with, and perhaps above, DRACULA, DIAL M FOR MURDER, THE BAD SEED, AN- GELSTREET and ARSENIC AND OLD LACE. Playwright Anthony Shaffer and SLEUTH won notonly the “Tony” award for the Best Play of the 1970-71 Broadway season, but also an “Edgar” from the Mys- tery Writers of America for the play as best mystery story of the year. SLEUTH will run July 16 through 20 nightly at 8:00 PM with two additional matinee per- formances on Wednesday, July 17, and Saturday, July 20, at 2:00 PM: Asmash hit both in London and New York, it ran for three years in the West End and for 1,222 perfor- mances on Broadway. It subse: quently was made into a success- ful film starring Laurence Olivier and Michael Caine. By virtue of its cleverness, the force of its wit and its ingenuity of plot, SLEUTH has transcended the suspense genre to become a virtual “classic” and a repertory, touring and stock the- atre favorite. The plot of SLEUTH begins with Andrew Wyke, a famous writer of mysteries, inviting to his home a young neighbor, Milo Tindle. Milo, it turns out, is having an affair with Andrew’s wife. But the wniter insists he doesn’t mind that at all, In fact, he has a splendid idea by which they both shall profit. Past that, SLEUTH is so filled with twists and turns and ingenious skulduggery, so replete with skill. ful suspense and inventive tricks, that we will not reveal them here, in order for our audience to enjoy them all the more in production. Instead, we will share with you what has been said and written about SLEUTH by critics and the- atre writers: “clever as a wagonload of mon- keys solving a crossword puzzle and as intricate as the Hampton Court maze. It is one of the most purely entertaining plays in many a season—an entrancing tale of detective story mayhem with a touch of urbane intellect added for savor... good, clean, neat, bloody fun.” (New York Times, Clive Barnes) “An outstanding example of the thriller considered as fine art... both exhilarating and endlessly surprising. . . a play to see, to be astonished by and to brood over. “ (London Sunday Times, Harold Hobson) “This is one of the best melodra- mas I havé ever seen. Maybe it is the best... literate, witty, scary and filled with sudden twists and tricks.” (New York Daily News, John Chapman) “The most ingenious detective play in years. “ (London Evening News, Felix Barker) Individual tickets are now on sale from $17.50 to $25.00 for the General Public, $15.00 to $22.50 for ECU Faculty/Staff and Senior Citizens, and from $7.50 to $11.25 for ECU Students and Children 12 and under.

' Vernon Robinson, a former Win- ston-Salem State College Profes- sor and the first African-Ameri- can candidate nominated for State Superintendent of Public Instruc- tion, celebrated this weekend when the North Carolina General As- sembly passed a Charter School Bill shortly before it adjourned early Saturday morning. Robinson, 40 and President of the North Caro- lina Education Reform Founda- tion, led the three year effort to pass Charter School legislation. Charter schools are public . schools that are largely free of the red tape and bureaucracy that plague traditional public schools. In exchange for relief from red tape, the teachers and other staff at charter schools must deliver on the level of student perforrnance promised int he chartering docu- ment. Failure to do so would result in revocation of the charter and closing the school. “Public schools that fail, go on and continue to maim children,” commented Robinson. “Charter schools that fail go out of business.” Finally, charter schools have no attendance zone. The charter personnel must convince parents that the program at that school has something to offer children. Charter schools are funded based onthe number of students enrolled as if the school was a school dis- trict. The 100 charters authorized by the statute may by issued by either a local school board or one of the 16 constituent institutions of the University of North Carolina with final approval from the State Board of Education. Robinson spoke to the congrega- tion at Bethel AME Church in Sunday on the topic “Preparing to the battle to a steady trumpet. “This is a great day in the battle to save young black boys. In 1994, 74% of black male 5th graders failed the end of course test. These numbers are devastating. The charter school bill is the first crack in the education establishment and creates the ability for commu- nity based organizations to create primary and secondary schools. African-American reform edu- cators have responded with ex- citement at the prospects of set- ting up charter schools to educate black children. “I’m excited and my organization plans to submit a charter application before the No- vember 1 deadline,” said Dr. Joann Woodard, Director and Founder ofthe Youth Enrichment Program in Wilson. “Vernon Robinson was key in getting this charter school bill passed and raising awareness N.

From Page Tax Credits Basnight said the incentives needed to be offered in all counties to help North Carolina compete with neighboring states, particu- larly Virginia, which has an ag- gressive economic development program. The bill has the support of economic development agencies, businesses and the chambers of commerce across the state. “I hope the House will embrace allthe incentives offered in the Senate package,” said Bill Lee, chairman of the N.C. Economic Development Board and an advo- cate for the job tax credits. Based on recommendations de- veloped over two years of study by the North Carolina Economic De- velopment Board, the bill provides critical incentives for attracting jobs and industries to North Caro- lina. The incentives include tiered jobs tax credits to attract busi- nesses to the more economically distressed counties, and the cre- ation of a new worker training credit for businesses that invest in employee training.

Monday, July 8, 1996 Sponsored By: Norcott & Company Funeral Homes And Chapel Twenty-one new fellows nationwide CHICAGO — Four African- Americans are among the twenty new MacArthur Fellows annoullced today by the John D and Catherine T MacArthur Foun- dation. They are Louis Massiah, a docu- mentary filmmaker and founder and director of the Scribe Video Center in Philadelphia, Pennsyl- vania, Vonllie C. McLoyd, a devel- opmental psychologist who stud- ies the interactive influences of race, ethnicity, and economic hard- ship, Thylias Moss, a poet who conjures an evocative sense of place and community in her work, and Anna Deavere Smith, a performer and playwright who has created a new form of theater. The new MacArthur Fellows will receive stipends ranging from $150,000 to $375,000 over five years, depending on the age of the recipient. Along with their five- year stipend, the Fellows are of- fered health insurance. Massiah will receive $265,000, McLoyd will receive $280,000; Moss will receive $265,000, Smith will receive $280,000. The MacArthur Fellow- ships are “no strings attached” awards, and recipients are free to use the awards as they wish. The MacArthur Foundation imposes no reporting requirements or restric- tions of any kind on MacArthur Fellows. “The creative person is at the heart of a society’s capacity to im- prove the human condition,” said Adele Simmons, MacArthur Foun- dation president. “By supporting these Fellows, highly talented in- dividuals working in a wide range of fields, the Foundation means to honor creative persons every- where. “ Catharine R. Stimpson, director of the MacArthur Fellows Pro- gram, said, “These ~reatly gifted people are as diverse as the United States itself However, their tal- ents have a common thread. They renew our hope in human possibil- ity.” Until Stimpson notified them, these four people had no idea they were about to become MacArthur Fellows. Individuals cannot apply for MacArthur Fellowships. In- stead, names are proposed to the Foundation by a group of 125 or more designated nominators in a variety of professions and areas of the country. They serve anony- mously for one year. Their nomi- nations are reviewed by a twelve- member selection committee, which meets eight times a year. Final approval for MacArthur Fel- lowships comes from the Foundation’s Board of Directors. There is no annual quota of Fel- lows and no predetermined time for naming them. Including today’s group, a total of 479 Fellows, including 54 Afn- can-Americans, have been named since the program began in 1981. They have ranged in age from 18 to 82. As of today’s date the num- ber of active Fellows — individu- als currently receiving fellowship support — is 157. In the fifteen years since the program began, the Foundation has invested over $150 million in the Fellows Pro- gram. Louis Massiah is a documentary filmmaker who insightfully ad- dresses important but often ne- glected subjects. He is also a com- munity cultural worker who pro- vides media access to underrepresented segments of so- ciety through his Scribe Video Center, a media arts center which he founded and directs. Scribe both trains emerging video-makers and helps members of community or- ganizations address issues of so- cial concern throu~h a creative use of video. Scribe has been a key site for community trainingin film production in the United States. Massiah is the director of many documentaries including: Trash ( 1985), 7he Bombing of Osage Av- enue (1986), Cecil B. Moore (1987) and W.E.B. Du Bois — A Biogra- phy in Four Voices (1995). He was the producer of two films for the Eyes on the Prize II series (1990). He received his B.A. (1977) from Cornell University, and his MLS. ( 1982) from the Massachusetts In- stitute of Technology. (Born June 10, 1954, Philadelphia, Pennsyl- vania, resides, Philadelphia, Penn- sylvania). Vonnie C. McLoyd is a develop- mental psychologist who studies the interactive influences of race, ethnicity, family, and economic hardship on human development. She examines social variables in detail to understand how they con- tribute to the way an individual grows and changes. McLoyd has been a pioneer in attempting to describe the psychological pro- ° cesses through which economic deprivation influences African- American families and children. Her work provides the basic infor- mationneeded forthedevelopment , of effective prevention and inter- vention programs for these Afri- can-American communities. She is a professor of psychology in the Department of Psychology and a research scientist at the Center for Human Growth and Develop- ment at the University of Michi- gan andiscurrently a visiting pro- fessor at Duke University. She was associate editor of Child Develop- ment from 1993 to 1996. McLoyd received her B.A. (1971) from Talladega College and her M.A. (1973) and Ph.D. (1975) from the University of Michigan.

Thylias Moss is a poet who con- jures an evocative sense of place and community in her work, ar- ticulating the subtle rhythms of daily life and moments of height- ened reality. Moss’s poetry com- bines the African-American con- cept of “witnessing” with a variety of Western poetic traditions. She draws on her experiences and eth- nic history, combining a gift for narrative and observation that captures the flavor of community interactions and the impact of pub- lic life on private life. Her work shows a special talent forlanguage, imagery, and syntactical music. Moss is a professor of English at University of Michigan. Her books of poetry include Hosiery Seams On Bol-legged Woman (1983), Pyra- mid of Bone (1989), At Redbones (1990), Rainbow Remnants in Rock Bottom Ghetto Sky (1991) and Small Congregations: New and Selected Poems (1993). She has written two children’s books: [ Want to Be (1993) and Somewhere THE “M"-VOICE- WEEK ENDING JULY 19, Four African-Americans receive Macarthur Fellowships Else Right Now (1997). Moss re- ceived her B.A. from Oberlin Col- lege (1981) and her M.A. (1983) from the University of New Hamp- shire. (Born February 27, 1954, Cleveland, Ohio; resides, Ann Ar- bor, Michigan). Anna Deavere Smith is a per- former and playwright who has created a new form of theater — a blend of theatrical art, social com- mentary, journalism and intimate reverie. Her pieces are compelling and sophisticated views of racial and class conflict. For these pieces, she interviews a series of people connected to a common event or theme. She then weaves brief monologues together, recreating these people in their own words. Her work has advanced perfor- mance theory and introduced a new way for the theater to reflect, and ref ect upon, society. Smith’s work strives to create civic dis- course about American identity and frequently deals with contem- porary social problems. One of Smith’s skills lies in creating works (Continued on page 9) 5,000 BTU - 27 KBM ¢ 17,500 BTU’s:* Auto Thermostat a’a MITSUBISHI ee Magic Chef.

He pulls offhis "advertised" pajamas, and takes abath in his "advertised" tub. He washes with "advertised" soap, shaves with an "advertised" razor, uses "advertised" shaving lotion, and combs his hair with an "advertised" comb. He puts on "advertised" clothes, sits down to a breakfast of "advertised" coffee, and eats "advertised" eggs, and brushes his teeth with "advertised" toothpaste. He puts on an "advertised" hat, starts his "advertised" car with an "advertised" battery and rides to work on "advertised" tires. He sits down to his "advertised" telephone, and write with an "advertised" pen. Then he refuses to "advertise", he says "advertising doesn't pay."
