Martin Luther King ISSUE WEEK JUNE 6-JUNE 12, 1998 EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA’S MINORITY VOICE-SINCE 1981 _ PCMH “Done Deal,” — Does It Mean For Members Only... WHAT IS PRIVATE NOT FOR PROFIT!? By Kitty J. Pope Jeff Savage Pitt County Memorial Hos- pital private after heated discus- sions, among board members. Commissioners Charles Gaskins, Eugene James and Jeff Savage opposed the resolution to change the hospital's status. Commissioner Farney Moore. who had also opposed the resolution was absent due to illness. Savage had tried to postpone the decision because Moore was absent and because he thought more time was needed for outside legal review of the proposal. Savage later tried to make a motion to make some changes that in- cluded a discount for Pitt County residents and the availability of the proposal for public inspection for 90 days before a final decision. There was no second because Commissioner Bright had already called for the vote which resulted in five for privatization and three opposing. Nancy Coville The commissioners who voted in favor of privatization felt that they had made a decision that was in the best interest of PCMH. Bright said that it was a good agreement that would carry us into the 21" century and that the decision would make the medical center the showpiece for health care. Commissioner Savage dis- agreed calling the Monday that they voted the “saddest day of representative government”. Civic activist Nancy Colville agreed with Jeff through “tears of disappoint- ment”, and said that the county was the “sacrificing lamb at the altar for the region”, (in reference to the hospital's desire to serve a 29 county region). Disappointment, frustration and anger characterized the feelings of both Savage and Colville. Both are concerned with what private - not for profit will really mean for this county. State's District Plan is Defended in Brief Legislators sought only to correct problems in the 12th District, the state argues. The only goals of legislators in redrawing the state's congres- sional districts were pointed out by federal judges and maintaining a partisan balance, the state said in a brief filed Monday. "Maintaining District 12 as a Democratic district and neighnoring districts 5, 6, 9 and 10 as Republican districts was essential." Tiara Smiley of the Attorney General's Office said in a response filed with the federal court. State lawmakers, she said, had to avoid putting all of either Iredell or Davidson counties in redrawn 12th Destrict because that would have made the destrict more Republican. Legislators also excluded some Democrat-leaning districts in Forsyth county because they are adjacent to the home precint of Republican Richard Burr. Charlotte was split because both Democrat Mel Watt, who repre- sents the 12th and the Republican Sue Myric, who represents the 9th district, live in that city. A panal of three federal judges in April ruled that the 12th district. was unconstitutional be- cause race was a predominant factor when it was redrawn in 1997, under another federal court order. The redrawn district, the state said in its filling, its only 35 percent minority, by population compared with 46 percent in the 1997 plan.That means it is not a majority-minority disrtict. Duke University law professor Robinson Everett, whose lawsuit led to the redistricting order, last week filed a challenge to the new congressional map. His response argued the new 12th district was a "vestige of discrimination." "The district is regular in shape and makes no ‘detours’ to pick up African-American _ residents," said the state filing, a response to Everetts objections. "The total African-American population is 35 percent which, which does not qualify as a majority-minority district by any measure." The state, which had until Monday to file the brief,asks the court to approve the redistricting plan and allow the congressional elections to proceed as the court has previously ordered. | If the federal judges reject the state's plan, they will draw one of their own by July 1. A new filing period for elec- tions then would open July 6, with primary elections Sept.15. Clayton @ Kinston City Officials Tour Peachtree Plant On Monday, June 1, 1998, Congresswoman Eva M. Clayton met with local Kinston officials to be briefed on problems surrounding the Peachtree Wastewater Plant. The Congresswoman is espe- cially concerned about sludge seeping into the Neuse River from that plant. "I want to be helpful," said Clayton. "I intend to work with other colleagues in the Congress and Federal Agency officials to determine what help we can pro- vide to Kinston and to the State to resolve this matter as expeditiously as circumstances permit. "The Neuse River is a vital resource to the state, and we must do what we can to protect and preserve it," Clayton said. The Congresswoman met with Kinston officials at the City of Kinston Administrative Offices, lo- cated at 207 E. King Street in Kinston, North Carolina. Fol- lowing the metting, the Congress- woman and officials toured the Peachtree Wastewater Plant, located on Peachtree Street in Kinston. "Hurricane Fran, unantici- pated winter rains and other acts of nature have put Kinston in a difficult position. It is important that all of us. Federal, State, and’ local officials, as well as the private sector. work together to resolve this problem that not only threatens the water quality of the Neuse River, but poses a challenge to growth and development throughout the state," concluded Clayton. Commissioner Savage, who had fought hard to keep Pitt Memorial. pubjic, said that the ‘commissioners acted very irrespon- sibly when they made the decision to go private. “This decision is a serious blow to representative gov- ernment as far as the well being of the citizens of the community is concerned,” explained Savage. “There were too many inconsisten- cies and unresolved issues regard- ing privatization among board members to come up with a sound decision.” Savage said that his col- leagues catered more to the desires of the hospital administration and themselves than to the concerns of the people. “We were fortunate to have had a hospital that was revered nationwide and every effort should have been made to preserve it,” lamented Savage. “The com- missioners should have intensely scrutinized the privatization pro- posal before pursuing the NCGS 131-E8 and acting without taking the time to consider all options.” Savage felt that the board acted at best irresponsibly and at worst the board completely neglected the role of stewards of the public trust. Like Savage, Colville have grave concern about what this will mean for people who have no insurance or who cannot afford hospital care. She also is deeply concerned about the quality of service that the hospital will be able to give because of displaced mo- nies. “I feel that the expense of the hospital going private will be reflected in cuts that will adversely effect it’s ability to deliver proper and quality care,” said Colville. “Putting monies in other facilities will take away from the main hospitial’s capabilities and poten- tials.” “Tt is unethical to have to cut corners when dealing with human life and potential suffering;” ‘said Colville. “Pitt Memorial is footing the bill for the initial cost which will be several millions of dollars. What they are really doing is creating an HMO. Of the 20 HMOs in the state, only 4 have made a profit, all the others are losing millions of dollars a year,” reported Colville. “PCM is basically going into the insurance business in starting an HBO and the hospital is no expert in the insurance arena,” she explained. Colville, who have witnessed other situations on what happened with hospital going private, worries about the future of the hospital and feels that they really don’t know what they have done. She is concerned that we may be leaving ourselves open for another facility to move in “next door” creating competition and creating uncertain debts. Colville would like to form a watch committee to collect infor- mation, review data, and keep up with what is happening with patients and people trying to enter into the hospital. Colville feels that privatization will not only affect the poor, but anyone who receives health care from the hospital. This committee would act as the “ears" of the community and keep abreast of any complaints. For more information write: PO. Box 1205; Greenville, NC 27835 or call 756-5706. AE REN Reginald Leggett Redden Leggett won the nomination for the nomination for the republican party candidate for Beaufort County sheriff against Bryan Edwards. Edwards received 481 votes or 49 per cent of the votes while Leggett received 494 votes or 51 per cent of the votes. Leggett, a graduate of North Carolina Central University, worked 12 years for the State Bureau of Investigation, 4 years as the SBI Assistant Supervisin Agent covering 12 counties and year as a Beaufort County Deputy Sheriff. He has also served as the corporate regional security director for the McDonalds Corporation where he was responsible for 500 restaurants with a 1.5 million dollar budget. Leggett, will run against Democrat Alan Jordan for Protesters March Against Alleged Racism in County School System Barry Gaskins School Human Resources Director, Barry Gaskins responded to the protest in the absence of Superintendent Howard Sosne. Gaskins said that the school board and administrators are aware of the incidents and have responded and dealt with the issues in a proper manner. Due process was given and the proper steps were taken. "For the past 20 years, I have witnessed progress in the Pitt County School System and | am discouraged by these accusations, although | do understand that there are 3 or 4 sides to every story," said Gaskins. "I am convinced, how- ever, that the school administration has not tried to hide anything. The school system will continue to go to great lengths to insure equality and fairness for all." N - Ne f Activists protesters gather in front of Pitt County Office building calling for the ouster of School Superintendent Howard Sosne for | allowing racist atmosphere to prevail in the Pitt County school system. Sade » ack ; More than 25 people marched at the Pitt County Office Building in protest of alleged tolerance of prejudice in schools on last Wednesday. The protestors sang and carried signs callin for the resignation of Superintendent Howard Sosne. Protestors included members of the Coalition Against Racism (CAR) and the NAACP Sosne was unavailable for comment. CAR and the NAACP said that they have pursued more than one half dozen Pitt County school cases without satisfactory results. Despite going through available channels, justice and fairness have not been achieved in cases of child injury, racial slurs, and differential treatment of students and school workers based upon race. The protestors claim that top administrators , led by Sosne, have concentrated on protecting itself by sweeping glaring deficiency under the rug. The groups also marched in protest at the Winter green school on Thursday. They are continuing to push for harsher punishment for the white teacher that used the "N” word during Black History month. She was given only three days without pay. Davenport Community Club Elects Officers and Plans Block Party... Front row-(left to right) Mildred Williams, Pauline Anderson and Vivian Parker.

The images of the mayhem that tore aparySpringfield, Oregon recently are by now familiar to us all, no matter how far away we live from the six suburban and rural communities where since last October heavily-armed teenagers have gunned down a total of nearly three score of their classmates and teachers. The toll is stunning; Jonesboro, Arkansas, 5 dead, West Paducah, Kentucky. 3 dead, 5 wounded; Fayetteville, Tennessee, | dead; and now, Springfield, Oregon, 4 dead, 26 wounded. Familiar, too, is the grief of the survivors and the shock of residents of these individual communities, and many of us in the larger society, which has followed each of these murderous rampage. Why is this happening here? is the question being asked with increasing disquiet. "There is no sense to it," Gary Bowden,the wrestling coach at Springfield's Thurston High School, said, struggling to cope with the enormity of the crime there. But it’s not true that there's "no sense" to these killings. In fact, many people have identified the cause of and contributing factors to these seemingly anarchic bursts of horrific violence. Norma Paulus, the Oregon state superintendent of Schools, said in the wake of the shootings, "This is not a school problem. This is a societal problem. Kitzhaber, Oregon's Governor, pointedly asserted, "All of us should look at how we have failed as a society and how this could happen in the heart of Oregon. It has been a priority to build prison cells and prison beds--after the fact. These actions in no way prevent juvenile violence." Dr. Deborah Prothrow-Stith, of the Harvard School of Public Health, suggested on ABC's "Nightline", that we are seeing the "Second Wave" of the youth homicide epidemic that primarily convulsed black and Hispanic inner-city neighborhoods during the past 15 years now erupt in white small towns and rural communities. "The late '80s, early '90s was when the youth homicide rate in urban America almost doubled, started with what one might have thought were isolated incidents," Dr. Prothrow-Stith explained. "Eventually, we learned to understand that that was an epidemic,” she continued. "I can't, as a public health person, look at what's happened in schools over the last six to eight months and say these are isolated events. If you take troubled kids and add guns and add a precipitating event in a society that glamorizes explosive responses to anger, you've got danger and I think it's now happening pretty much across the country." Many experts on children and adolescents believe that dynamic is helping to fuel the extraordinary callousness and the calculated indiscriminate ferocity shown by these young killers. Sissela Bok, a philosopher and ethicist who has studied violence in America, told the New York Times, last week,"We have movie role models showing violence as fun, and video games where you kill, and get rewarded for killing, for hours and hours. It is a very combustible mix: enraged young people with access to semiautomatic weapons, exposed to violence as entertainment, violence shown as exciting and thrilling.” But the situation is far from hopeless. The successful effort by public agencies, private institutions and community organizations in Boston to reduce that city's climbing youth homicide rate is just a piece of the voluminous quilt of evidence that we do know how to get great numbers of young people live their adolescence in productive fashion. The current spasm of horrific school violence is another warning that American society must intensify its efforts to do so. Finally, there 1s another point about these murderous incidents that cries out for notice -- a point that becomes clear it one imagines it had been African-American youths in six different inner-city neighborhoods who had turned their predominantly-black high schools into killing fields. We know what “answers” would have been put forth--and what blame assessed--then. We know that we would have been subjected to the purplest "mean streets of the ghetto" prose then--prose that is used to implicitly declare the problems of the inner cities a "Negro Problem" which has nothing to do with White America. The public discourse about these killings is entirely different precisely because it is not black children but white ones who are showing the horror a deep alienation from society can produce. We should examine why some white youths who are not poor are having and acting out murderous impulses --not to play the racial "dozens," but to determine what commonalities and differences exist in how the dynamic of violence operates in those places where violence is expected to happen and in those places where it's not supposed to happen. To do otherwise would be to ignore the overwhelming evidence that the 'mean streets’ produced by the dynamic of violence in American culture can in fact be anywhere. Young Killers: Mo wy rierd Boyd 2422 ee Since young African-Americans are often depicted as the source of rampant violence, it is very ironic that white children are responsible for all of the recent high profile shootings in schools. This is not a point to celebrate, given the terrible loss in human lives from each of these incidents. These brutal killings should horrify all Americans, and the actions of a few deranged white youths does not stigmatize the race, a wish we hope would be extended to Black Americans when our children are less than civil. Still, the increasing rampages in our schools must be understood that they are a national problem that affects us all. Children killing children as a way of releasing pent-up emotions and settling scores is becoming too common nowadays, and if our experts on these tragedies are right,things will get worse before they get better. What is most baffling abut most of these killings is the absence of motive. Many of the drive-by shootings among African-Americans that gained so much media attention a few years ago were the result of pang rivalry. Only the incident in Pomona, California, in April, in which two teen-agers were killed by a 14-year old boy, seems to have been gang-related. The possible motives in the other seven or so shootings are either vague or motivated by revenge of some sort. And are these acts of violence manifestation of past cruelties which occur all too often among the perpetrators? "There are some 1.2 million children in the country who go home where guns are present," said youth psychiatrist Mary Benoit, who has been grappling with this denne te for several years. "Several factors may contribute to these acts of violence: Guns are available in the home, the children receive poor parental supervision, and we live in a violent culture." _ Benoit believes it is a "complex situation," and there are no easy or pat answers. She also dismissed the notion of the media as culprit. "The media is not causal," she noted. The media may not be causal, but Dr. Jack Levin of Northwestern University seems to feel it does help to set the climate. "A steady diet of violence is unhealthy... and with all the blood and gore, the children become desensitized," he told a television reporter. But is this anything more than the violence-laden fairy tales that another generation heard without the attendant mayhem among their playmates? That the shootings have occurred in small towns, according to Levin, may be an important factor. "They are not happening in the big city, and many of the small towns are playing catch-up when it comes to social policy and other matters," he added. _ One answer to this problem that is as preposterous as it is novel -- and -- is to arm some teachers with concealed weapons. Such a strategy is doomed from its proposed inception. Arming teachers will surely precipitate even more bloody encounters. Fewer guns, not more is the answer. "Until we teach our children to resolve anger without using fists and guns, we will continue to be unable to reassure them that they are safe," writes Dr. Joyce Brothers. "Until we make sure kids who hear threats report them without feeling they are ratting, and until we keep guns out of the hand of youngsters, we will continue to have more to worry about than drugs and sex." Perhaps, as Dr. James Comer of Yale University has suggested in improving the classroom performance of Sra! Foetal alee problem is far too complex for parents alone.

I am currently serving as the Chairman of the Pitt County Social Service Board, and I know that all welfare recipients are not black, nor are all illegitimate babies are black, nor are all drug addicts are black. [In addition to this] Blacks don't own the boats, ships and planes that bring illegal drugs into this country. There are few if any black members of the NRA, and of course we don't own gun factories. The students who shot and killed other students and teachers in Mississippi, Kentucky, Arkansas and Pennsylvania were not black. Timothy McVeigh, who was found guilty of bombing the Federal Building in Oklahoma killing more than 150 people was not black, nor was Ted Kaczynski the "uni-bomber," nor was the girl who was found guilty of giving birth to a baby in a motel in the presence of her boy friend then killing it and putting it in the trash bin was black, nor was the man in Pitt county who was arrested for killing his father with an ax to get drug money, black. I know of no welfare recipient who got as much money as that high profiled politician, Jimmy Green, who was convicted for fraud. The man who injected his infant son with HIV virus so he would die and relieve him, the father from paying child support was not black. Is this behavior typical of any race of people? Certainly not and thus a whole race should not therefore be judged or stereotyped by the act of a few. If Sanderson really wants to solve the social ills in our society, maybe he should call the leaders of all races together and share his expertise since we all share some of the same problems. Perhaps the Native Americans - the "Indians," should be angry with Sanderson's ancestors for taking their country and [General] Ogelthorpe for bringing those murdering, thieving prisoners here. I speak with my own convictions, not what anybody else wants me to say, nor what everyone expects me to say. I am convinced that the real issue that has caused the incident at the Wintergreen School and the negative discussion that ssubsequently followes - is "RACISM." I see that as an act designed to degrade, to humiliate and to rob a person of his self-esteemand; | find that very offensive. I am a survivor who grew up in Pitt County just two-tenths of a mile from a brick school building with steam heat, indoor toilets, a library, buses and lunchrooms, but as a “six year old child," I had to walk. nearly two miles to a run-down shack for a school, with no library, no-idoor toilets, no running water with pot bellied stoves for heat. While walking to school, busses with white kids would pass us, and some of them would yell N-----r, N----r and throw things at us. Finishing elementary school was the end of formal education for most black children in the rural communities because there were no high schools available for them, and there were no buses. I had to leave home to go to a high school that was under staffed and under equipped, and yes, we still had to be warmed by pot bellied stove, use outdoor toilets and had no library. When I graduated from high school as the valedictorian, I could not go to East Carolina Teacher's College in Greenville, instead I had to travela hundred miles from home to go to an understaffed, under equipped college. While I was there, I was drafted into the Army and for three years, I lived in fear of having to one day forfeit my life defending a country that had not granted me full citizenship. However, by the grace of God, | made it back home and reentered college and working every day, I was there from my freshman year through my senior year. ___ We had to work harder for less pay than our counterparts and under sub standard conditions, BUT we made It. I give thanks to God, I give thanks to my parents, I give thanks to those Black teachers who worked overtime with us without pay and even even spent part of their own meager salaries on school supplies for us. No one else Sanderson, you did not talk over my head. I read you loud and clear and so did a lot of others. | don't think there are too many people in Pitt County who can talk over my head and those I know are too intelligent to attempt that I know that those persons who can only see the negative side of us and those who refer to us as niggers don't mean us any good, but those people aren't fooling anybody either. The intent is to degrade, humiliate and offend others. You know, it must be difficult for people who were born with a silver spoon in their mouths to relate to those who had no spoon at all. I have every reason to be angry - but I am not. I am truly a survivor, nobody could keep me down. As I look back, I get more determined to do everything I can to see that no child; legitimate, illegitimate, black or white will ever have to undergo what I had to undergo to prepare himself or herself to earn a decent living. I repeat, if we truly believe that our nation was established upon the principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity, then the time is now for all of us to put it into practice.

The case, Arkansas Educational Television Commission v. Forbes, started when the Arkansas public television network (AETC) excluded Ralph Forbes, a third-party candidate for Congress in 1992, from a televised debate between the Republican and Democratic candidates. Because the network excluded him on the grounds that his campaign was insignificant (and not because they disagreed with his extreme right-wing views), the court ruled there was no constitutional violation. It is not yet clear what impact the decision will have on the ability of independent and third party candidates -- who are entering the electoral arena in ever-increasing numbers -- to participate in televised debates with their Democrat and Republican rivals. But the minority opinion suggests that the institutionalized bias against independent candidates and parties in many televised political debates could ultimately be subject to a serious reevaluation. The Supreme Court ruled on a very narrow question, and AETC v. Forbes will almost certainly not be the final word on this issue. Specifically, the Court was asked to decide: "whether, by reason of its state ownership, the station had a constitutional obligation to allow every candidate access to the debate." The lower court had — said that the debate was a "public forum" to which all-ballot qualified candidates had a "presumptive right of access." The Supreme Court replied that the doctrine of “public forum," which arose in the context of streets and "should not be extended in a mechanical way to the very different context of public television broadcasting." In other words, no one can stop an independent from going door-to-door or holding street corner rallies, but when it comes to public TV, such access "would be antithetical... to the discretion that stations and their editorial staff must exercise to fulfill their journalistic purpose..." It's precisely this "discretion" that troubled the three dissenting justices, whose minority opinion is perhaps henciasrsaghel ae ply ss noses ciel pamveaipanion, Anpcher-ig-al- Atay vache pare y with bipartisan monopoly control of can politics and access to major media.

But they had serious trouble with 's “nearly limitless discretion to exclude Forbes from the based on ad hoc justifications." The network staff based their refusal on judgments about the "news-worthiness" or “political viability" -- purely subjective criteria, an issue I have raised in the courts since 1992. The dissent argued that the important issue in this case is not whether the AETC’s debate was a public forum or not, but whether the network “defined the contours of the debate" with enough specificity and objectivity justify excluding a ballot-qualified candidate. Since the staff of a television network are not “ordinary journalists" but rather “employees of government," the "First Amendment demands more" of them.

Reginald Watson, an English Instructor at East Carolina University, never thought about becoming a teacher until he was in the army. It was then that he was given the opportunity to teach military classes. “When I saw the looks on the soldiers’ faces after | told them how to do something and they learned from what I had told them, I was really encouraged and started to consider teaching as a career,” recalled Watson. The posi- tive responses from the soldiers and the army instructors telling him that he would make a good teacher sparked Watson’s interest in be- coming an educator. Watson, who received his BA in English Literature from North Carolina Central University, went on to get his Masters of Arts in English from East Carolina University after getting out of the army. While working on his mas- ters at ECU, he was able to teach classes there as a graduate assis- tant. He was also able to teach at Lenoir Community College while a still a graduate intern. He then knew for sure that teaching was his first love and that it would be his life’s work. A very rewarding teaching experience for Watson was an carly teaching position in the prison system. He was astonished by the bright minds and tremendous capa- bilities of many of the inmates. “Many times inmates that | taught were better prepared for class than many of my present college stu- dents. Because the dynamics of the prison class setting was different. many prisons took learning very serious. The prisoners were more serious and were in turn better prepared for class. “I was forced to sharpen my teaching skills and | feel that this experience made me a more complete and better teacher.” recalled Watson. Watson started teaching full time at East Carolina in 1991. He was the first and only African- American in the English Department until 1996. Watson felt that he was hired at ECU as the result of his favorable work as a graduate assistant and because of the lack of minority representation in the English Department. “One of the goals of the UNC-system should be to create more incentives to draw minorities to careers in higher education.” _ expressed Watson. For East Carolina University. Watson, who just received his doctorate degree in English. has been an asset and investment for the college. Since coming to ECU, he has served as faculty advisor for the prize-winning minority _ literary magazinc EXPRESSIONS. In 1992 Watson founded the ECU Thespians of Diversity, a theater group open to all students, but has the primary focus of enhancing the involvement of minorities in drama. Watson has also written and directed plays ar ECU and was the co-founder of the Patrons of Poetry Ensemble. a poctry reading group Dr. Watson has used the magazine. his plays and poetry groups to highlight student talents and to teach African-American _ history and literature. tion, Watson, who has served as vice-president of the campus Black Faculty and Staff Organization, also teaches Black literature. He confesses that he must teach history before literature because many students both black and white are unaware of their history. Dr. Watson firmly believes that teaching history and laying a foundation is important because ignorance leads to prejudice and education leads to understanding. “Understanding leads to tolerance which is a key,” explains Watson. Dr. Watson says that his number one priority when teaching is wanting his students to learn.” love to see people take what | have taught them and apply it to their own lives. That’s when I know that 1 have done my job. There is no better job in the world.” Watson says that teaching is most effective when the material and information conveyed becomes a part of the student’s life and his or her mentality. “Effective teaching also means training people how to think for themselves and how to gather information for a lifetime,” say: Watson. These things should be thc goals of all teachers. A student 1: done a disservice when it is not. adds Watson. ; Watson would like to se teachers and instructors develo; closer relationships with their stu dents. “Teachers must take per sonal interests in their students. / good teacher must love people a well as what he is teaching Inspiring students to constantl want to change their lives for th better through knowledge is wha teaching is all about.” affirm Watson. Armed with a Ph.D. Di Watson knows that there are man opportunities available to him. Bu he prefers teaching, even though h feels that it won't make hit wealthy. “Wealth is not what I"! looking for. When someone th: I’ve taught comes up tp me and tc me that they have passed o information I have taught them ( family and friends, it does som thing to my heart and that is m payment.” exclaims Dr. Watsot “When I see people learnin: applying it to their lives and the passing it on . | don't need million dollars a year, that payment itself: spiritual payment.
