Gate City Financial Mortgage, Inc.. is helping families all over North Carolina live their dreams with loans and education. They also have new cash building em- ployment opportunities. Now in their eighth year of operation in Fayetteville, Gate City has grown to three locations in North Caro- lina--they’re working on a fourth. According to Texas native, Lon- nie Coulter, the company’s CEO, founder and president (now a Fay- etteville resident), Gate City is the fastest growing minority banking organization in the state. Coulter joined the Fayetteville Community in 1982 after serving in the US Army at Fort Bragg, N.C. in the legal profession. Coulter has been a very successful entrepreneur in the Fayetteville area since 1984 “Though it takes planning, focus and education, financial indepen- dence is not as hard to achieve as some make it seem,” says Coulter. “We are not just her for the home- owners, we are her to help non- homeowners obtain a home. Coulter feels that everyone should own a home. He says, “Your home is your most precious com- modity.” He continued, “We teach people how to utilize this commod- ity correctly by realizing the value of equity in their home, and teach them to use their home as their bank.” Coulter said Gate City Financial Mortgage is your equity lender; they take the equity in your home and give it to you in cash. For that reason, Gate City is widely known as, “the cash in YOUR pocket com- pany. Gate City’s Quest: A Commu- nity of Home Owners & Finan- cially Independent Families Financial Freedom...A Dream that is coming true for many home owners in as little as 90 days, says Coulter. It is time for the average hardworking American to enjoy the freedom that they so richly de- serve. If you are not a homeowner, Gate City affords you an opportu- nity to become financiaily free as well. It will take a little time, but you can do it, says Clouter. He realizes wheh people find themselves in a financial bind; many of them don’t have homes to mortgage. Furthermore, when they want to buy a home, they just don’t have the money to put down. “Even when we find homes for people with no money down (which we do), we find that many people in our community don’t even have the cash for closing costs.” Because of that, Coulter’s com- pany does something unique in the equity lending industry. In an ef- fort to help those who don’t own a home achieve financial indepen- dence, Gate City offers an opportu- nity for you to earn the down pay- ment and closing costs. Non-home owners are able to work part-time and bank two or 3 thousand dollars in a few months. “The part-time opportunity here at Gate City came out of a need in our community. We want people to buy homes,” says Coulter. “We are helping them buy homes and put- ting “Cash in their Pocket” through (See CASH KEY, P. 2) - wt F a, Dear leckie and Dee: bd cae a oe ~ [finitys |~erspect ives 4 3 , Seat wiies es shee J Ene. ohne, dee L have been dating a gty for four years who | will refer to as Frank.

We have been offering this part-time opportunity since we have been in existence.” He contin- ued, “...but for the past 60 days we have been educating people about the great rewards of this opportu- nity.” “We know that our community members are our greatest re- source,” says Coulter. “We allow people in their leisure time, to talk to friends and family members, ca- sual conversations about what Gate City can do for them. They are our part-time ‘word of mouths’ you might say.” Gate City: an education institu- tion, not just a mortgage environment Everything they do at Gate City is goal oriented, and centered around touching as many people as possible by giving them an oppor- tunity to achieve financial indepen- dence--through specialized counsel- ing, professional guidance, and pre- pare education. Gate City offers educational and consultation programs by giving advice about investments. Accord- ing to Coulter, mutual finds are a very good investment, and with over 15 years of experience as an investment portfolio specialist on Wall Street, he is a person you can trust. “Not only do we put cash in your pocket here at Gate City, but we have the ability to make the cash work for you!” Coulter continued, “Many people consolidate their bills, and once they get cash in their pocket, they don’t know how to invest that money properly, and within a year, they are in debt again! It is our quest to break this cycle of poverty.” from the desk of J WHO HAS CLASS? Class never runs scared. It is sure-footed and confident, and it — can handle whatever comes along. Class has a sense of humor. It — knows that a good laugh is the best lubricant for oiling the machinery of human relations. Class never makes excuses. It takes its lumps and learns from past mistakes. Class knows that good manners are nothing more than a series of small sacrifices and minor inconve- niences. Class bespeaks an aristocracy unrelated to ancestors of money. Some extremely wealthy people have no class at all, while others who are struggling to make ends meet are loaded with it. Class is real. You can’t fake it. Class is comfortable in its own skin. It never puts on airs. Class never tries to build itself up by tearing others down. Class is already up and need not attempt to look better by making others look worse. Class can “walk with kings and keep its virtue and talk with crowds and keep the common touch”. Everyone is comfortable with the person who has class be- cause he is comfortable with him- self. ; If you have class, you've got it made. If you don’t have class, no matter what else you have, it won’t make up for it. (Compliments of Ann Landers) GETTING THE BEST OUT OF EVERYONE As head coach, it’s my job to put people in an environment that al- lows them to be the best that they can be. The way to go about that-- on and off the field—is: 1. Give them responsibility. Give your people the feeling that if they don’t do the job, it won’t get done. Also, left them know that when they accomplish something, they will share in the accolades. 2. Let them know you care. Have enough involvement with your people so they know that you are interested in each of them indi- vidually and that you are support- ive and loyal. 3. Guide them to make good deci- sions. Give people enough guidance to make the decisions you want them to make. Don’t tell them what to do, but encourage them to do what is best.

He points out, “Many people don’t know after 12 months of faithful payments with a mortgage company, they can apply for a lower interest rate.” Coulter credits his company’s work ethic for the phenomenal suc- cess Gate City has achieved. He says, “we do over 3 millicn dollars in business per month, and in the mortgage business that’s great, but what is even greater in my opinion is that we have the ability to fulfill the community’s need to grow fi- nancially.” He continued, “We edu- cate people to understand their rights in this industry. We are an educational service. We let people know what is going on out her in the financial world. At the heart of Gate City is the ability to under- stand people.” The skillfully trained staff at Gate City provides financial coun- seling to fit every client’s income level as well as needs. Lonnie Coulter believes politics is fine but when all the politics die down, he wants to know who’s really done anything to change the financial situation of our entire community? Who is really making a difference, and not just politicking? “Our business is about helping people achieve their goals. I want people to say about my company, Gate City Financial, really made a difference, they didn’t just talk about making a difference.” Coulter went on, “We are frus- trated with people talking a good game. We want to see people actu- ally doing something, creating a real opportunity for us all to grow financially.” The experts at Gate City actually go the extra mile to insure their client’s satisfaction to make sure their needs are met. Coulter knows that servicing your clients is essen- tial, and when that’s happening, the company is fulfilling its pur- pose, “Money is power in today’s world, and we are in the business of empowering our people through educating them about finances. We are going to do something for people, or we are not going to do anything at all,” says Coulter. Gate City has been serving this community for a long time, and they have the kind of reputation that makes Lonnie Coulter proud.

College To Begin Cisco Networking § * Saint Augustine’s College has announced that it will implement the Cisco Networking Academy curriculum. The partnership with Cisco Sys- tems, Inc., the leading global sup- plier of internetworking solutions for education, corporate intranets and the global Internet, will ad- dress the demand for network ad- ministrators nationwide by offering a certificate program to students Veterans Post that prepares them to assume net- work administrative roles. Michael Naylor, interim chair- man for the Division of Business at St. Augustine’s, says this relation- ship will strengthen the college’s ties with industry and promote the continued development of educa- tional partnerships. “As a private, historically black institution, we welcome the level of support Cisco has given us and the greater exposure of our students to technology advancements,” Naylor said. - As a regional academy, St. Augustine’s will have direct re- sponsibility for and link to Cisco Systems for the complete adminis- tration of the Network Academy program. The college will fully prepare sites that will become local academies addressing legal issues, school board requirements and Cisco requirements. It will also provide mentors and serve as the conduit for informa- tion flow between local academies and Cisco Systems. Local acad- emies operate under the guidance of the regional academy, providing trained instructors that will deliver and facilitate the F Ncowestiie Academy curriculum to an identi- fied program. Additionally, it will remain current with the technology and provide operational and work- ing lab facilities for students. Dr. Lal Shimpi will serve as the regional academy coordinator for the college. As the head of the Computer Science Department at St. Augustine’s, Shimpi said he wants to ensure that when future students graduate from his depart- ment, they are well qualified to meet the demands of a technologi- cally oriented job. by Freddy Groves FYI. — The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is alerting cer- tain current and former members of the National Guard that they may be eligible for Montgomery G.I.

As various states, this one in- cluded, begin their various welfare initiatives, which are designed to get people off the welfare rolls and onto the job rolls, there is one question that keeps coming up. How can a former welfare recipi- ent support a family on a minimum- wage job? That is, assuming that the indi- vidual can get the skills, transporta- tion, child care, etc., to be ab le to get the job to begin with. Putting former welfare recipients to work has to be done on a case-by- case basis. Each individual’s circum- stance is different, and in some cases prohibitive of total exclusion from the welfare rolls. Some form of aid must still exist to subsidize the individual’s family to ensure a step up into self-sufficiency instead of a step sideways that could lead to early-on confrontation with “the law.” The “cost of living” aspect of life in the ’90s is an ongoing challenge, even for working people. The “how-to” aspect from indi- vidual circumstance to individual cir- cumstance must be considered to ensure progress without welfare that does not penalize the children that may live in a household, as well as the adults. If these proposed welfare-reducing plans cut so deeply into the house- hold budget as to take from the clothing or food input per month, it will have a direct and immediate ef- fect on a child’s performance, and po- tential of even staying in school. If that step-up is any way dimin- ished, there is little chance that that youngster will find himself in any better shape to get a job and support himself than his parents before him. The ultra-conservatives who started the welfare “reform” steamroller in the first place didn’t even deal with this aspect of the problem. They assumed dogmatically that there were enough jobs to go around for anyone who “really wanted” to work, and enough money to make ends meet for people who were sim- ply willing to learn thrift. They hadn’t had to actually try running a family on a poor man’s wages anytime recently, but they “knew” it must be that way. And for those who might dare to complain that they couldn’t feed their children on those wages, there was a sinister implied threat. If the parents couldn’t support them, there could be a return to gov- ernment-run orphanages, they said. Of course, that is not the answer. Very few of even the Bill Bennett type conservatives are willing to say that publicly any more. The gradual process of getting people off welfare rolls must have a realistic application so that it will not create even greater problems. Social workers must be active in their dealings in this changeover to ensure that it is a complete, and as much as possible, total transition to a household entity that not only has enough income, but enough informa- tion about the day-to-day function of income and expense to allow the household to grow beyond depen- dency. Where the welfare initiatives will lead depends largely on what kind of interaction occurs between social worker and welfare recipient. Whether or not the welfare recipi- ent can get everything he needs, over a period of time, to make the transition a lasting and stable one, is the most crucial question. The Global Trade Alternative Most African-American business- people come to a point in their busi- nesses where they begin to look at ways and means of expanding their market for particular goods or ser- vices which they market to the pub- lic. The World Trade Center in Raleigh stood up and shouted re- cently, “Go Global!” Look at the po- tential of marketing your goods and/ or services in the international mar- ketplace. True enough, given today’s tech- nologies, the world is a smaller place. Developing an arm of one’s business to explore that possibility is no longer a “shot in the dark.” There are resource people here in the Triangle who can give you a look into what your company’s future could be in international trade. The interest is great enough to motivate the WTC to hold a meeting in their Raleigh offices, inviting indi- viduals from area universities, busi- ness people with expertise in inter- national trade, some area minority businessmen, and yes, the bankers were there from two major financial institutions in the state. The seasion sought to find ways and means to get increased participation from the minority business commu- nity in the international trade arena. One point during the discussion that we thought was well-taken was that made by Lewis Myers of the N.C, Institute of Minority Economic ee tat Oe tha opportunity was e for mi- nority firm already in business, and possessing a track record of perat- ing consistently “in the black.” Another gentleman joined in that discussion and added that it was key that minority initiatives into interna- tional markets needed significant banking support to be profitable. Even in the face of these stum- bling blocks, there seemed to be an undercurrent of agreement among those present that given the right “players,” minority firms could de- velop profitable business relation- ships on an international scale. Key areas of business that would be conducive to international trade seemed to be the areas of services, manufacturing, and wholesaling, al- though it was quickly pointed out that opportunities are not limited to these areas. B lack firms in particular may find burgeoning opportunities and a chance for reciprocity in the mother- land—Africa. With changes that have been tak- ing place politically over the past de- cade, old business alliances are being reshaped and African countries are looking for ways to make a better deal for themselves, They also need technological and business knowhow, as they try to bring themselves up to speed as players on the international scene. What better chance for aspiring African-American firms who want a piece of the international action than to “help a brother out,” as the saying goes on the streets here? Ventures have already made ten- tative contact with several countries in Africa, and a great deal of enthusi- asm has been expressed for doing business with their long-lost broth- ers in the diaspora, im et \ Bl ) ‘3 ‘ mee ~ “ Day Of Atonement Should Be Everyday BY TREY BANKHEAD é f Pe a You've probably heard about it already. Thursday, Oct. 16th is the national “Day of Atonement” for African-Ameri- can men. This is the day we are to reflect on our lives, and think long and hard on not only where we've ben, and what we've done, but also where we are going. I hate the whole idea. Well, that’s not quite true. I loved the concept of the original “Million Man March,” even though most of the press tried to downplay its significance to our culture, and other groups tried to sabotage it. And this year, on the two-year anniversary of that historic event, instead of a million men voyaging to one spot, there will be many spots in the United States where men will gather. The part that I hate? I hate the fact that the whole idea is even necessary. Unfortunately, we need it. I mean, think of the very rea- son for the Day of Atonement. The word “atonement” means “payment for an offense or injury.” Another meaning for it is “to become in harmony with God.” The simple fact is, we, as black men, are in desperate need to atone. For what? Well, I could start a full-time job just telling my male students not to call the female students “bitches.” for that matter, it would be another job to stop MOST of the’students from calling each other “nigger.” People are killed every day be- cause someone else felt disrespected, and the next genera- tion is walking right into the same trap! Many people say that “respect must be earned,” which I think is ridiculous, Respect should be given freely...DISrespect is what would be earned by one’s actions. This is one of the reasons behind the Day of Atonement: to look at the things we have been doing wrong, and say to ourselves, “This is not right.” And then, it is our duty to find a way to fix whatever we've done wrong. Case in point: I went out last Friday night. I called my wife to let her know where I was, and that I’d be there only for about fifteen minutes. That fifteen minutes got stretched out into four hours. In that time, I didn’t call her again. So, naturally, when I got home, my wife was NOT happy. She was angry, and felt that she had been disrespected by me. My female readers are probably agreeing with my wife at this point. They’re saying that I should have called her to let her know that my original plans had been changed. My male readers are probably saying “Well? What’s her problem?” And they’re saying that, “He’s a man, he doesn’t need to explain himself!” Well, guys, that’s part of the problem right there. The issue really isn’t whether or not I feel I disre- spected her. It’s about how SHE feels. If only because I love her, if my wife feels that I’ve disrespected her, then I must address that problem. Even if I think she is wrong, it still must be addressed. (By the way, I did NOT feel that she was wrong in the above situation. I was flat out wrong in not calling again to tell her what was up. It was a simple cour- tesy that would have only taken about two minutes, but | never did it.) We talked about it, and I’ve resolved to be better about calling her when she’s expecting me. But, one thing I never quite got around to doing was apologizing. | didn’t do it then, so Il] do it now: “I’m sorry, Ursie. I should have taken your feelings and expectations into consideration more than I did. Instead, I took them for granted, and, as a result, disrespected you. I’m sorry.” (Fellas: Keep that in mind. Just because we're men does not mean that the ladies don’t have a right to get mad at us. If we screw up, we should be man enough to face up to it, instead of trying to use our manhood as an excuse. And YES, guys, that ALSO means apologizing when we're wrong.) So many people say they won't allow anyone to disrespect them, but they’re not willing to give others the respect they, themselves, want, What’s the old saying? “Do unto others as you would have them to do unto you.” Or, more simply, “treat people like you want to be treated.” I went to the barber shop recently. In there, the rules of respect are so apparent you can almost picture them written on the walls. Children did not interrupt conversations be- tween adults. There was no horseplay in the shop. The men were laughing and joking, but always respectful of one an- other. Women in the shop were spoken to in a polite, respect- ful manner. This is the type of respect that people are fight- ing and killing for, Because I saw it so clearly within the VANTAGE POINT Articles and Essays by Ron Daniels RONALD V. DELLUMS: COURAGEOUS CONSCIENCE OF THE CONGRESS On Sept. 24, I had the privilege of attending the cer- emony for the unveiling of a portrait of the distinguished congressman from the 9th Congressional District in Califor- nia, the Hon. Ronald V. Dellums, former chairr an of the Committee on the Armed Services of the U.S. House of Rep- resentatives. It was a ceremony and celebration that I would not have missed for anything in the world. Ron Dellums has been a voice for the voiceless, an articulate and passionate Proponent of a peace and justice society, and the leading spokesperson for the progressive agenda for nearly three de- cades; a career and avocation which has earned him the title, “conscience of the Congress.” From his vision of “economic conversion” to transform the priorities of this nation to deal with hunger, poverty and disease and equality of opportunity as opposed to ear, to his passionate commitment to universal health care, full em- ployment and freedom for South Africa, Ron Dellums has been a formidable presence on the national and interna- tional scene, commanding and demanding respect by the sheer force of his intellect, integrity and adherence to prin- ciple; an elegant, towering figure who has sought to make his vision of the new society manifest in the manner in which he lives his life and wages the struggle to achieve a “more perfect union.” And so it was altogether fitting, even necessary, that we be present, members of Congress, civil rights leaders, grass- roots activists, members of the administration, women and men, young and old, friends, admirers and adversaries from virtually every political spectrum and people from every hue of the rainbow, on the occasion of the unveiling of a remark- able portrait by Andre White capturing the essence of this courageous conscience of the Congress—to honor this ex- traordinary human being for his 30 years as a stellar public servant. The testimonies of various personages told in moving fashion the story of this self-described political sprinter turned long distance runner for the progressive cause. In a rare and stunning series of tributes to the stature that Ronald V. Dellums has achieved, Prominent and powerful spokespersons for the conservative cause eagerly and gra- ciously joined in the accolades to a human being that they may differ with philosophically but have come to deeply re- spect. Rep. Floyd Spence, current chairman of the Commit- tee on National Security, expressed his gratitude to Rep. Dellums for his willingness to reach out to the minority members of the committee during his tenure as chairman. All of us who have known and worked with Ron Dellums over the years have been blessed by the association. He stands in the finest tradition of African-Americans at the cutting edge of social science and commitment to a more just and humane society and world. We have yet to achieve the more perfect union that he envisions, but America is a better place because of the life and leadership of the Hon. Ronald V. Dellums, courageous conscience of the Congress. shop, I now KNOW that that type of respect is possible, But 80 many others don’t seem willing to do anything to change the way things normally are, like students throwing a chair at their teacher. Like a man hitting his woman just to “keep rer in her place.” Like a boy calling his little sister a “Black i Nod These types of insults have to stop. All of the disrespect has got to stop. Black people have a hell of a time growing up in this world. We need, as a people AND as individuals, to figure out what WE can do to change that. It doesn’t have to be anything big. What ONE thing can you do today to make someone else's day more pleasant? Maybe a smile, per- haps a card “just because.” Choosing NOT to fight, or insult someone, just TODAY. Those are the types of little things that actually make each day a little better, These are some ways to solve some problems that we face as a people. And those little solutions are reasons for the Day of Atonement. To figure out what's wrong, accept the fact that we've done wrong, and to fix it. The Day of Atonement is on Thursday, Oct. 16th. Re- member the date. Use the day to atone, But please, try to make EVERY day a “Day of Atonement.” Because if you it don't, then you've missed the whole point, PB PLP DDD LEP Der + eee © ee IEE * te gan, ge . # Ss JOY, JOY, JOY—Brother Garrie Moore gets sheer Joy anytime h and his lovely spouse, Curtis LaVonne, get an opportunity to share moments with each other between classes at Pitt Community Col- lege.

When used and stored safely, and according to instruc- tions, antifreeze does not pose problems for pets. Here are some ways to protect your pets from harm: 1. When you change your antifreeze, keep your pet on a leash or indoors. 2. Drain old antifreeze into a bucket or container, and never drain where pets can get to it. 3. Be sure to clean up any spills thoroughly and immediately. 4. Keep unused antifreeze in original or well-marked containers and keep out of the reach of chil- dren, who might spill it near pets. 5. Store antifreeze away from where pets or other animals like raccoons can get into it.

Campbell Releases Study On State Employees Working From Home State Auditor Ralph Campbell last week released the results of a feasibility study of state employees working from home and/or ~ telecommuting. “In analyzing the profile of state employment, it was no surprise that the majority of state govern- ment jobs are information-related, and that these jobs are both the fastest growing type of job and the type which should benefit from ad- vances in the use of technology,” Campbell said. “We learned that ‘telecom- muting’ is an umbrella term used to refer to a wide range of alterna- tive office situations and flexible work arrangements,” Campbell added. “It generally describes a work ar- rangement in which employees work in their homes and ‘commute’ to their offices through technolo- gies such as computers, modems, fax machines and electronic mail. “However, ‘telecommuting’ also encompasses flexible office ar- rangements such as regional or lo- cal ‘telework centers’ where em- ployees from different agencies use the same facilities on a scheduled basis.” Campbell said a number of state agencies are already employing the concept of “telework,” in which an employee is allowed to work from his/her home and physically com- mute to a local, regional or central office on a periodic basis. “Some agencies already allow and encourage limited telecommuting for such functions as report preparation,” Campbell said. “However, only 2.2 percent of state positions are now allowed to work from home on a regular ba- sis.” Campbell said research shows that organizations which have implemented telecommuting projects report significant savings in overhead costs ($2 for every $1 invested in technology), potential for decreased real estate costs (25 to 90 percent), and increased worker productivity. He cautioned, however, that a number of key policy issues must be addressed before any agency embarks on a full-fledged program.
