Helms Upsets Ligon Alumni Alumni of the former all-black J.W. Ligon High School in Raleigh thought nothing could upset them as much as the closing of their alma mater more than 25 years ago, and the Wake Board of Education’s subsequent refusal to name the new Southeast High af- ter Ligon. Sen. Jesse Helms proved them wrong. When North Carolina’s se- nior Republican senator told The Charlotte Observer last week “I don’t know’ about Charlotte, but in Raleigh, dis- cipline is no longer possible at [Needham] Broughton High School,” he report- edly was referring to “the integra- tion of the school after Raleigh’s former all-black Ligon High School was closed in the early 1970s,” ac- cording to the Sept. 25 edition of the News & Observer. With the country commemorat- ing the 40th anniversary of the de- segregation of Central High School in Little Rock, Ark. last week, Helms still maintained that the “failed social experiments” of school desegregation and busing have been “a colossal flop” and “caused more upheaval in the schools,” he told the Charlotte pa- per When the N&O asked the five- term conservative to clarify, he re- plied in writing, “My intent... was to state an obvious truth: that be- havior in schools across the coun- try has deteriorated in large part as a result of failed attempts at so- cial engineering. “I reiterate, and any honest ob- HELMS server will agree, that forced bus- él Winy nl v ing and other failed social experi- ments were a flop and that hard- working and effective principals, like [Broughton’s] Mrs. Diane Payne, are doing their best to cope with difficult situations.” Translation to the African- Americans The CAROLINIAN in- terviewed about Helms’ remarks— “If only we'd left those black chil. dren at Ligon and other segregatec schools years ago, we wouldn’t have the problems we have now ir. our formerly all-white schools to: day.” Wake Schools officials have po- litely and diplomatically replied that Sen. Helms is, at the very least, in error. They had to tread lightly, though, since the history 0: Broughton since integration is on¢ of many black students being the consistent targets of documentec racism—from insensitive articles published in the school newspaper to a racist so-called “joke” sheet distributed among white stu. dents—as reported in years past by The CAROLINIAN and others. Wake school officials say things are much different now. But Ligonites and other African-Ameri- cans, however, were not so gracious about, as one person put it, “Helms’ fruit of the poisoned tree remark.” “Sen. Helms is sick,” declared an angry Yvonne Trice, a 1965 alumna of Ligon. “He’s a disgrace to North Carolina; he’s a racist.” What outraged Trice most was Helms’ insinuation that black Li- gon students brought crime and unruly behavior with them to Broughton. “We had no-discipline problems at Ligon because we had black teachers... who took an interest in us, they knew what we were all about, and they knew our back- ground, and where we had come from. So we had no major problems like they’re having in high schools today.” County Funds Withheld From Charter School From Staff Reports The Pitt County school system has withheld two monthly pay- ments amounting to $18,000 from the Right Step Academy reportedly until the charter schoo! can provide updated documentation to verify its enrollment Charter schools are eligible for federal, state and local funds, which are also allocated to public schools on a per student basis. The Pitt County school system is re- sponsible for transferring county tax dollars to the Right Step Acad- emy to the tune of $824.01 per stu dent. The charter school, which opened in August in the one time Agnes Fullilove building, has grades 6-12, with the heaviest concentration of students in the sixth through eighth grades. A charter school is a “deregu lated” public school run by a pri- vate nonprofit group, which gets its “charter” from the state or local board of education. As long as a charter school meets the terms of its charter, it is free from many of the rules and regula- tion governing public schools. After filing an initial roster of 132 stu- dents, the Right Step Academy al- legedly has not supplied the schoo! system with enrollment reports for September and Octobér. That num- ber has stayed the same because those on the waiting list replace those who quit, Right Step Acad- emy Executive Director William Pierce said. “We're not going to pay them un- til we can confirm that the stu- dents are there,” Aaron Beaulieu, the Pitt County schools’ finance of- ficer, said. “we’re trying to be good stewards of the taxpayers’ money.” Philip Adkins, an attorney for Right Step, stated a letter to Pitt County schools that the charter school will not file any new reports until the school system stops charging for work done by Gibb Chauncey, the director of student information and assignments for Pitt County schools. Since students transfer to Right AKAs On The Move! THE AKA SORORITY MOVES FORWARD—The Alpha Kappa Omega Chapter of AKA celebrated 25 years of Communication through Ser- vice to Mankind on Saturday night at the Hilton Inn, Ball Room, The celebration kicked off on Friday evening at the Dubois Center, The Step Academy from the public schools, Chauncey is responsible for “squaring” Right Step’s infor- mation with the school system’s records. Beaulieu said it’s work that Chauncey normally would not do, but Right Step has refused to pay the $130 in fees so far. “The school is somewhat dis turbed that you are charging them for reconciling the reports we pro- vide for your information; we will no longer be providing you with the principal’s monthly report and ros- ter,” Adkins stated in the letter. “If you decide to stop charging the school for work you are doing in ac- cordance with your own require- ments, we will again provide the reports.” Chauncey reportedly found dis- crepancies in some of the charter school’s enrollment reports from July and August. The school alleg- edly counted two students from Greene and Beaufort counties as Pitt County residents. Right Step (See CHARTER SCHOOL, P. 2) FIFTY YEAR DELTAS—Sorors Selena L.

Blacks In Government Ask Probe Of IRS Move To Abolish Affirmative Action Blacks in Government, an orga- nization of federal, state and local government employees, has re- quested the president’s immediate attention regarding the Internal Revenue Service’s move to abolish its affirmative action programs. This is the first federal agency to initiate efforts of this nature. BIG held a press conference in Wash- ington, D.C. on Oct. 6 to challenge the IRS’ move. In an Aug. 19 memo to all execu- tive managers, the IRS acting com- missioner, Michael P. Dolan, stated: “It is advisable to temporarily suspend certain aspects of our per- ~; formance management system AKA ladies are definitely a hit when it comes fo putting on social events and coming together in unity for a good cause. Hang in there ladies...the best is yet to come. (Haywood Johnson Photos) ; which address expectations or mea- surements in the area of EEO and diversity. This suspension affects two of the general standards in in- dividual performance plans and two measures used in the Business Review.” “We believe that this unilateral decision to suspend critical ele- ments in the area of affirmative employment programs is a viola- tion of law, regulation, and the president’s management directive to mend not end affirmative ac- tion,” said Oscar Eason, Jr., na- tional president of BIG. Eason added that this unprec- edented action could have a chill- ing effect on the operation of not just the IRS, but the entire federal sector. The IRS has also issued new EEO standards for FY 1998 that appear to be general in nature. (See ASK PROBE, P. 2) Consultant Says Hospital On The Right From Staff Reports A Chicago-based consultant said recently at a Pitt County Memorial Hospital Planning Retreat that the hospital is accomplishing many ob- jectives established during the fist year of its five-year strategic plan. “Not only was I amazed at how well the organization has really kept to the vision and mission, but how much it has accomplished in such a short time frame. They're really moving,” said Neal Peyser, vice president of the Tiber Group. “They, across the board, exceeded what they set out to do. The five-year strategic plan, which encompasses 1997 through the year 2001, has five goals. They are to: build partnerships with physicians: provide the highest quality care at the most reasonable cost; build partnerships with other Track hospitals; develop a comprehensive continuum of care and to improve relationships with providers of in- surance products. PCMH did something toward ful- filling each of those goals during the first 10 months of the strategic plan, which was approved in De- cember 1996, Peyser said. For example, the hospital is leas- ing the smaller Roanoke Chowan Hospital in Ahoskie as part of its efforts to partnership with other hospitals. PCMH now offers swim therapy and has been approved to expand its neonatal intensive care unit, both efforts to offer more com- prehensive care, he said. Peyser aid PCMH has done an exceptions job of reinvesting the money it makes back into the com- munity by offering new services and programs. mee cet ites “lama young man who has not had many rela- “tionships with women and, although | play the role, .

Very few animals are = monoga- mous...not fish, not cats. not dogs...they do not mate for life; it is contrary to the laws of nature...that very nature God endowed us with. Most male animals have an innate compulsion to sustain their gene line by impregnating as many fe- males as they can. Homo Sapiens (human) males are no different. The difference between a natural man and a Christian one, however, is this: Chris- tians, both men and women, fight that innate de- sire “to go forth and multi- ply”. We hold ourselves to a higher standard than our natural inclinations...that standard is God’s word. Please read: 1 Corinthians 6:13-20.

JOHN MURROW Pitt County Public Health Director Are you aware that influenza and pneumonia can be fatal, espe- cially for senior citizens? In Pitt County alone, 157 people died as a result of the flu or pneumonia from 1991-95. Of those 157 deaths, roughly 88% were age 65 or over. That’s 138 senior citizens that died from an illness that is often re- garded as a common winter ail- ment. While all ages are at risk of catching the flu of pneumonia, sta- tistics and common sense tell us that our family members age 65 or over run a higher risk of experienc- ing serious health complications The Minority fo) (of= lalen Pictures received ¢ Voice | proper Nev res] from these maladies. Each year, many excuses are given for not be- ing vaccinated, but the fact re- mains that many physicians rec- ommend flu and pneumonia vac- cines for the majority of their pa- tients. They agree it is important for senior citizens to boost their im- mune systems by receiving the vac- cines. And if you are a senior citi- zen, you will soon have an opportu- nity to be vaccinated for free in Pitt County on Senior Vaccination Sun- day. As the focal point of Senior Vac- cination Season, the Pitt County Health Department is coordinating a multi-agency effort called Senior vaccination Sunday Oct. 19th from noon until 3 p.m. The purpose of the event is to provide free flu and pneumonia vaccines to seniors and thus cut down or eliminate the spread of these infections. While pneumonia vaccinations will also be available to citizens under 65 during Senior Vaccination Sunday, but there will be a nominal chérge to cover the costs. If you would like to be vacci- nated, no appointment is neces- sary. All you have to do is go to one of the five locations in Pitt County, take your Medicare card and wear loose clothing. The shot will be given to you in your arm. Volun- teers will administer the vaccines at the Bethel Public Service Build- ing, the Farmville Community Shelter, Ayden Elementary School, D.H. Conley High School, and J. H. Rose High School. To get more in- formation about the event, call the Senior Info Line at 752-1717. So make the effort to get a flu or pneumonia vaccine this season. It’s easy, it’s important, and if you're a senior citizen it’s free.

ARMISTEAD Pastor Huntersville Presbyterian Church CHARER SCHOOL Continued from page 1 claimed a student who was already enrolled in Pitt County schools as one of its own, Chauncey said, blaming the errors on inexperi- enced Right Step employees. “I don’t think they’re trying to be underhanded,” Chauncey aid. “It makes me want to check their re- ports that much closer.” Pierce said nine to 10 students have transferred out, but they have been replaced by students on Right Step’s waiting list. “We're not trying to gyp of con- nive the county,” Pierce said. “We have already given the list of stu- dents.” Pierce said the school system is legally bound to give Right Step its per pupil allotment funds. “I hope they will comply with the law,” he said. “It’s a real simple process. We don’t want to push and scream. We just want them to come around.” ASK PROBE Continued from page 1 However, said BIG, these new standards are primarily com- plaints-processing oriented and ap- pear to support the “colorblind” concept. “This action by the IRS is the federal sector ‘Proposition 209,” said Blacks in Government in a press release. “The effects of these new standards are distinctly anti- affirmative action.” The Pitt County Family Re- searchers Inc. will hold a one day conference on Saturday, Oct. 18, 1997 at the Willis Building on the corner of First and Reade streets across from the town commons. The meeting will commence at 8 a.m. and adjourn at 5 p.m. The 100 individuals that will be coming to the conference from across the United States all have roots in Pitt County and will spend their day searching for additional informa- tion pertaining to their family his- tory. The goal of the Pitt County Fam- Blacks in Government is calling , for an immediate review of the IRS , by the EEOC, Office of Federal Op- erations. In a statement, the orga- nization called on EEOC to “com- pletely review IRS’s Affirmative Employment Programs and EEO Complaint Program to ensure com- pliance with law and regulations.” Joining BIG in speaking out on the issue were a number of women’s and nonwhite groups, in- cluding Federally Employed Women, Federal Asian Pacific American Council, National IM- AGE, American Indian Cultural Exchange, and the Black Leader- ship Forum, Inc. Plant This Seed & Watch God Move! BY JOY R. BROWN Ephesians 3:20--Now unto HIM that is able to do exceeding abun- dantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us; Stop limiting the IAM! Who is the I AM? According to the Hebrew language, I AM THAT I AM is written as Eheyeh asher eheyeh, which means I am the self-existent one; the Eternal, the One who al- ways has been and always will be | AM THAT I AM was shortened to IAM HERE, the Ever present and Living One. So, who is the I AM? God is! He is everything that we will ever need or desire. Since God has everything that we will ever need, we have no need to worry be- cause HE has the ability to bless you RIDICULOUSLY! Those things that you desire in your life, whether physically, mate- rially, or spiritually, just turn it over to the I AM and watch HIM supercede our greatest expecta- tions. God is getting ready to literally “blow our minds” with the bless- ings that are on the way. Remember Isaiah 55:8-9 allows us to know, “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.” Take your life, your hopes, your dreams, and your desires and place them in the hands of I AM and watch HIM bless abundantly. God is getting ready to bless superabundantly above the great- est abundance that we've asked or even thought according to the power that works in us. What is that power? FAITH!!! God’s ability to bless us depends on our willing- ness to accept what HE has to of- fer, the very best! Remember, we serve a BIG GOD! There are no limitations when it comes to receiving from God, ac- cording to 2 Peter 1:4, “Whereby are given unto us, exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the diving nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.” The promises of God are yes and so be it. So let go what you want and grab hold to the things that God has for you. Scripture References: Exodus 3:14, I AM; Isaiah 55:8-9, Thoughts and Ways; 2 Peter 1:4, Promises.

Hating no person, fearing no person in the firm belief that all are hurt as long as anyone is held back. No Apologies, No Regrets Well, the presidential select panel on racism is moving with all “deliber- ate speed,” to quote another famous phrase from the race relations arena. As in the first case where the phrase was used (the Supreme Court, referring to school desegrega- tion), the emphasis has fallen on “de- liberate.” It has been months since the group was empaneled, with much conster- nation and hand-wringing on the part of conservatives, who foresaw a mammoth touchy-feely government intervention into Americans’ God- given right not to like each other. They needn’t have worried. In that time, only one tentative suggestion has been forthcoming, one conclusion made. And it has already been shot down before even being formally recom- mended. President Clinton has made it clear that, as far as he is concerned, there is no need for him or the gov- ernment or white people in general to issue a formal apology for slavery. He hinted that he might be ame- nable to some sort of apology for seg- regation, but not for the institution of slavery itself. In dealing with ways to heal the deep racial wounds and span the rift between black and white, it had been suggested that such an apology might be in order. After all, in order to forgive and forget, usually somebody has to ask for forgiveness. Something like, “We’re sorry that some of our ancestors kidnapped, beat, raped, tortured and starved some of your ancestors into being — their personal property. We didn’t do it ourselves, but we indirectly profited from it, and it bothers us. “Our ancestors didn’t have to do it that way. Because of that, we’d like to do what we can to try to make things up to you as best we can. We don’t have to do that, either, but we would like to anyway.” Apparently, even that would be going too far in this anti-affirmative action, we’re-tired-of-feeling-guilty age just before the Millennium. So the panel plods on. Just where the meetings and forums will go from here, though, is hard to imag- ine. After all, if the simplest of over- tures is too outrageous to even con- sider, what hope is there when the questions and answers get really hard? Something’s Wrong By Joseph R. Sanders Our politicians and eminent mem- bers of the cloth, in addition to a lot of community leaders, have ex- pressed grave concern about the ris- ing cost of health care, problems of pollution that relate to increased need for health care, and of the con- tinued concern for the welfare of our children. It is true, the cost and the need for health care is on the rise. It is also true that there seems to be an appar- ent problem with pollution and our children are being exposed to many kinds of dangerous risks. So, when the aforementioned group of folks gnash their teeth and rend their robes, you would expect some very positive and very timely actions to take place. Well, ’taint nec- essarily the case. Let’s look at some actions that have taken place and see how they relate to the concern. Heart disease, lung cancer and stroke kill more Americans than any other disease or factor known. To- bacco and alcohol use followed by diet and lack of exercise are the pri- mary factors related to these killers. Are there measures initiated by these concerns folks mentioned pre- viously, to reduce the use of tobacco or alcohol or to effect a change in diet, or increase the amount of exer- cise among the people most at risk of heart disease, cancer or stroke? One would think that among legis- lation, community forums, rallies, sermons and other type of informa- tion sharing that there would be more emphasis on less use of alcohol or tobacco and more education about the benefits of eating healthier foods and exercising. That is not so! We have politicians suing the government on behalf of tobacco manufacturers and condemn- ing anyone that speaks out against the use of tobacco, especially among children (that’s how they show love for the children). As we think about the high cost and increasing need for healthcare, shouldn’t we be doing more proac- tive measures to reduce the need be- fore there is a need? . Something is wrong with the pic- ture as it stands now. Maybe as we all step back, take a deep breath, put aside the monetary factor and look more at the human factor, we may realize that what is best for the sur- vival of our nation is practicing what we preach and less preaching. We profess to be a Christian na- tion, followers of Jesus Christ. We profess to love our children and we claim to be concerned about their up- bringing and well-being. That being the case and consider- ing the fact that the Bible tells us that whatever we do should be done to the glory of God, maybe we should be reordering our priorities. Using tobacco and alcohol is not, as far as I see, giving glory to God. Just imagine what life would be like if the energy and resources that are being expended on defending to- bacco and alcohol manufacturers and distributors were used to design pro- grams and activities that would en- courage our children to develop posi- tive lifestyles? Considering the number of lives lost to tobacco use, and the fact that most adult smokers began smoking as teenagers, we should be spending more energy and resources prevent- ing tobacco use among our children. Let’s get our priorities in order and help our young people refrain from making alcohol and tobacco a part of their lives. If we don’t, the problem is only go- ing to get worse. Others are working their best to hook them. “Children are a cash crop to be harvested.” A quote by a marketing executive. Who's going to do the har- vesting? of honor over the heart.

I’m not talking about “Oh, I need to lose some weight,” or “Oh, I’ve got food stuck in my teeth.” I’m talking about the “God, I’m tired of being this stressed, of not sleeping, of the constant headaches and the bags under my eyes” kind of experience. Regular readers of my column will remember that, not too long ago, | was feeling stressed out and was on the verge of quitting my teaching job. I figured that if I stuck it out, ihings would get better. They didn’t. Instead, things got worse. Much worse. The stress kept building, and I was forced to question not only was I right for my job, but was the job right for me? I pretty much withdrew from everyone, which did not help the situation any. Even some of my stu- dents were noticing that I was “too tense,” and started look- ing at me as if they expected me to snap at any moment. Finally, a situation arose where I had to figure out what would not only be best for me, but for my students: staying where I was, or moving on to other possibilities. So, | made my choice, and did what I had to do. I quit my teaching job. I have to admit it: that decision hurt, a lot. I absolutely hate admitting to failure. I miss the kids, and my friends among the staff, already. But I really feel that I made the right decision in leaving. I didn’t feel as if I “fit” into the job, or that I “clicked” with the kids. I’ve always believed that, in order for me to do the best that I can at what I do, I must be able to enjoy what I’m doing. So, I’ve looked at what I was doing, and figured out that what the school needed was NOT So, all in all, what could have been a real disaster has turned into a positive change for me. something that I could provide. Likewise, what I needed was not something the school could provide. My philosophy of work is this: they have to give me what I need, and I need to give them what they need. If either side of that equation breaks down, disaster is not far off. In my case, the equation was skewed to the point that no one was getting what they needed. A change was needed, so a change was made. As a result, I hit a turning point in my life. Actor/Director Leonard Nimoy once said: “History is re- plete with turning points. You must have faith...that the universe will unfold as it should.” Sometimes, you have to swallow your fear and go for what you think is right. Just because something has suddenly changed does not necessar- ily mean it has changed for the worse. Looking at our bills and realizing “I’m unemployed!” was a bit of a shock. It really began to look like I had made a very bad mistake. But, somehow, I just KNEW it would work out for the best. I kept faith, even though everything else seemed to be crumbling around me. And it paid off. I’m teaching again, this time at another school, in a dffferent type of environment. I’m also Writing more. So, all in all, what could have been a real disaster has turned into a positive change for me. I guess that’s the real point of today’s column: That, as long as you believe in yourself, and keep the faith that every- thing will turn out right, then it will. Belief is a force that has changed history time and time again. If Martin Luther King or Malcolm X had not believed they were doing the right thing, where would we be today? If I had not believed in myself, in my skills, then the lives I’ve touched just in the past week...where would THEY be? If you believe...in your- self, in God, in whatever you need to believe in...then you will accomplish great things as you strive to attain them. Or, as an online acquaintance of mine said: “When a person really desires something with their entire heart, all the uni- verse conspires to help that person to realize his, or her, dream.” Truer words were never spoken. I did something that made me happier with myself, and with my job. The impact it’s had? I’m less stressed, and am a lot more relaxed. My wife actually wants to be around me again, and is happy that she “got her husband back.” I’m more effective in the classroom. I found out who my real friends were, and how much support I really had. I was scary for a while, yes, but it was worth it. By the way? I looked in the mirror again tonight. This time, I definitely LIKED what I saw. STRUGGLING TO PAY THE RENT By Dr. Manning Marable Along the Color lame The majority of all African-American families are renters, not homeowners. Most people with low incomes, racial mi- norities and the unemployed, are always confronted with the difficult challenge of finding decent housing which they can afford. Increasingly for millions of Americans—black, Latino, Asian and white alike—that challenge has become an “impossible dream.” A recently released study by the National Low Income Housing Coalition, which represents a broad spectrum of housing advocacy groups, fully documents this growing prob- lem. The study observed: “Housing costs, for most people, represent the largest monthly expense. Most people pay their rent first, buying food, clothing and health care with what remains.” The report used an index developed by the Department of Housing and Urban Development to estimate the cost of de cent but modest housing in cities and states throughout the United States. The study found that in almost every state “more than 30 percent of renters paid more than they could afford for one-bedroom apartments and more than 40 per- cent did so for two-bedroom apartments.” Not surprisingly, housing conditions were worse in major urban centers and in states with high concentrations of low- income working class and unemployed people, such as New York. The study found that 48 percent of all renters in New, York State were unable to afford the estimated fair market. rent for a one-bedroom apartment, $687, and 54 percent were unable to afford a two-bedroom rent, $796. The report estimated that New York renters would have to earn wages exceeding $13.22 an hour to afford a one-bedroom apart ment, and $15832 an hour to afford a two-bedroom apart ment. Even these dire statistics fail to capture the vast social consequences of the housing crisis. Hundreds of thousands of families in New York City, largely black and Latino, live doubled or tripled up with their relatives, friends and neigh bors. Crowded housing conditions push poor families fre quently into unsafe or unsanitary conditions, threatening the health and welfare of their children. Youngsters who have no space for homework and study are less competitive when they go to school. The lack of adequate shelter direct! J contributes to domestic violence and spousal abuse. What are the solutions to address the housing crisis? Conservatives who say that the federal government should get, out of the housing business, and let the marketplace determine the availability and cost of shelter by the laws of supply and demand, are just wrong. The private sector over- all has little interest in constructing millions of new housing units for people of modest means. Luxury condominiums and shopping malls have larger profit margins. We need to de- vote a greater share of national resources to guarantee that clean, basic shelter is considered an inalienable right. No one could be homeless or poorly housed, in a land of vast material affluence. But the real solution to the housing crisis can only be achieved by raising all incomes to meet the cost of basic human needs. In short, you can’t pay the rent if you don’t have a job, or if the job you-have doesn’t earn enough for you to pay your monthly bills, including rent. According to the research of the New York-based Na tional Jobs for all Coalition, as of 1996 there were nearly 17 million adults working full-time, year-round jobs, who were earning less than the poverty level for a family of four. An- other 4.3 million workers have part-time jobs, but aren’t able to get full-time positions. Adding to these millions of Ameri- cans are the displaced former recipients of Aid to Families with Dependent Children. The draconian 1996 Welfare Bill hurled a million children into poverty, and coerced hundreds of thousands of women into workfare programs and low- wage jobs that don’t pay enough to afford decent shelter. Building more affordable housing is helpful, but not enough. Only when all Americans have a real living wage or a guaranteed income if they are unable to work, will all of us be able to pay the rent.
