The county’s only charter school faces closure if problems cited by the state are not addressed by the efid of the month. Greenville’s Right Step Serving Eastern hag Corelien Since 1981 Academy, a charter school serving students in grades six through 12, has been placed on disciplinary status by the N.C. Department of Public Instruction. The school must correct nine issues of “fi- nance and governance” or lose its charter, according to Grova Bridges, state director of the office of charter schools. School officials will go before the state charter board on Oct. 27 to address issues raised in the letter of disciplinary status. Failure to resolve the issues may result in a revocation of the school’s charter. The school is a franchise of Right Step Inc., a Minnesota- based company that until recently directed charter schools in three states. The company targets students at risk of dropping out of traditional schools. Typically, the students have faced recurring disciplinary prob- lems and turn to the academies as alternative schools. Right Step Inc. operates a charter school in Phoenix as well as in iN ep Academy Faces Pik Ctr B North Carolina, and until recently operated two schools in St. Paul, Minn. Those schools were closed for financial mismanagement. Among the “unsound business practices” ‘cited for the Pitt County schaol are improper issuance of checks and several withdrawals totaling $46,462 and the possibility that other states have placed liens on North Carolina funds because of the company’s failure to pay employed withholding taxes in the amount $245,094. “There are some concerns about whether North Carolina funds might have been diverted to the Arizona charter,” Bridges said. Bridges could not say whether criminal charges would be filed against Right Step Academy or the parent company. William Pierce, Right Step Inc.’s Minnesota-based chief executive officer, was indicated in the withdrawals. He denies and wrongdoing by his corporation or Right Step Academy. Mt.

YOUR VOTE, YOUR DOLLARS AND YOUR POLITICAL IQ By Julian Bond How's your Political IQ? Here's a test. A front-page newspaper story announces that Congress is engaged in a wild spending spree as Election Day approaches. Why? They are "adding billions more to the bud- get for everything from local harbor dredging and bridge construction to hospital funding, science research projects and school aid," The Washington Post reports. It is the biggest increase since 1995. Why? The answer is elementary politics - voters are asking "what have you done for me late- ly?" and members of Congress are quick to give them answers they can see, feel, and touch - if not right now, at least in the future. If you got that right, give yourself a high Political 1Q. That hospital may not be built and ready for patients tomorrow morning, but when the local paper announces that Congressman Pork Barrel Johnson has brought home the bacon, the local voters are sure to respond positively. U.S. Rep. P. B. Johnson is counting on their gratitude - and their votes. The money is flowing now because there are 435 elections occurring across the country on Nov. 7 for members of the House of Representatives. In districts where a few are retiring, there are spirited contests to replace them. One-third of the seats of members of the Senate are up for grabs. And of course, President Clinton cannot run again - Vice President Al Gore and Texas Gov. George W. Bush are running to replace him. In some States there are spirited governors’ races and other local elections too. Each of them - the Representatives and the wanna-be Representatives, the incumbent Senators and the wanna-be Senators, the hope- ful governors and their opponents and the two candidates for president know how important voting is. Some of them are all hoping that you do too. But some of them are hoping that a low Political IQ means a low voter turnout, or that votes will be cast without the voter thinking about what is at stake Once every two years in the United States’ political system, you become the important person. Not only do you have the chance to decide who wins or loses these elections, but also by making that choice, you get to decide what kinds of policies will govern you and your fellow Americans for the immediate future. “You know what they are. Some candidates hope that you don't. Some of them are hoping your Political IQ is as low as it can be and that you don't know the difference between Candidate A and Candidate B. And some of them are hoping that you won't vote. Can you answer these questions? In AIDS prevention, does one candidate have a plan and program while the other has none and says even less? In helping you pay for increasingly expen- sive prescription drugs, does one candidate want private profit-making insurance compa- nies to do it while the other believes helping you should be a Medicare benefit? In supporting public schools where almost All-American children are educated, does one candidate want money for new construction and repair, and for raising teachers’ salaries while the other won't raise teachers’ pay and won't repair or build new schools? And does one support affirmative action, - giving all Americans a chance, while another wants to roll back the clock to the days when racial prejudice decided who got a job and -:>° who got promoted? The next president will choose as many as _. three new members of the Supreme Court; will ° his choices respect, protect and extend existing ~. civil rights laws or will they tear them down? The answers to these questions, and the votes you cast on Election Day, will decide what policies our country follows in the future. And your vote will decide whether your pre- cious tax dollars are spent building up your — community or building up another one - a - community where people vote too, but may not vote the same way you do. Make sure you use your highest Political IQ on Election Day. Make sure you use your > & & s * - a am" s vote too. And use your IQ. A mind, the United . Negro College Fund reminds us, is a terrible thing to waste. Julian Bond is president of the NAACP . Remove the Horrid Stain of Felon Voting Bans By Earl Ofari Hutchinson A year ago the Sentencing Project, a Washington D.C. prison reform group, issued a report that found that seven, states permanently barred ex-felons from voting. With the gaping racial disparities in prison sentencing, the vote ban has fallen heaviest on Black men. These laws disenfranchised One out of four Black males. Civil libertarians screamed foul and called it a return to Jim Crow segregation days when Southern states routinely used poll taxes, literacy laws, political gerry- mandering, physical harassment, threats and intimidation to bar Blacks from the If they were appalled last year at the number of states that permanently ban. felons from voting, the latest report from the Sentencing Project is even more appalling. It revealed that two more states have slapped 4 permanent ban on ex-felons voting. And the racial disparity is even greater. Black men now account for one out cruelly mocks the notion of rehabilitation and gives lie to the fondly repeated line that _ when praparescra ce Seinrhiciprtay : get a second chance, — insure that more Blacks will be arrested, convicted and sentenced more harshly than Whites. The estimate is that in the next few years 40 percent of Black men will be per- manently barred from the polls in the states with this restriction. This terrible, racially-tinged policy wreaks much havoc on African Americans. It drastically cuts down the number of Black elected officials, increases cynicism, if not outright loathing, by many young Blacks for the criminal justice system, and deprives Black communities of vital funds and resources for badly needed services that result from their increased political strength. The rationale for keeping and putting more felon vote bans on the books in more States is that they make it rougher on law- breakers. This is nonsense. The U.S. is the only country in the world with blatantly discriminatory laws that ban a person from voting for life based on a criminal offense. Many of the men that are stripped of their right to vote are not convicted murderers, rapists, or robbers. ‘ They are not denied the vote because of a court imposed sentence, since no states require that a judge formally bar an offend- er from voting as part of a criminal sen- tence, due to the seriousness of the crime, ‘or severity of the sentence, In fact, many offenders don't even serve a day in prison. They have been convicted of felonies such as auto theft or drug pos- session. They are more likely to receive a fine or probation. Most of these offenders were young men when they committed their crimes. The chances are good that they didn't become career criminals, but hold steady jobs, raise families and are responsible members of their communities. Yet the states that stamp them with the — ' legal and social stigma of being a One-time felon deprive them of their basic constitu. — tional right to vote and relegate them to citizenship in perpetuity. This bad policy, only a handful of civil liberties groups and the NAACP in Virginia and Florida have challenged these restrictive laws in court. At present the only recourse that ex-felons have in the states that perma- nently bar them from voting is to seek a pardon from the governor. This is a dead end for most. Governors read the fierce public mood on crime, and know that many Americans consider ex-felons pariahs that deserve any treatment they get. So few ex- felons even bother to request a pardon. Civil liberties groups have urged state legislatures to rescind the laws or at least resist the temptation to place new voting restrictions on the books. The only state to heed their call and do the right thing is Delaware. Last June lawmakers in that state restored voting rights to some ex-felons. “ The exclusion of thousands of Blacks: from the voting rolls 30 years after the civil rights movement waged a titanic battle to abolish Jim Crow voting bans is worse than a travesty of justice, it's a horrid stain on American democracy. It's a stain that state officials should immediately wipe away. Earl Ofari Hutchinson is the author of "The Disappearance of Black Leadership."

The thought: “ The Lord loveth a cheerful giver,” is not limited to monetary gifts; but are including in it all the gifts and sacrifices which the Lord’s people are privileged to present on the altar of sacrifice, and which God informs us He is pleased to accept through the merit of our dear Redeemer.

Benevolence which in- cludes giving, . assisting, and blessing others is a part of Godlikeness. As your love for the Lord grows day by day, you will find yourself giving more and more of your time, influence, and money and planning, additionally, how you may budget the personal and family obligations so as to be able to increase your offerings and sacrifices. We all know that God instituted with the Jews a tithing system, under which the one-tenth of all the increase of wealth, whether of grain, or vegetables , or herds or flocks or money, was set apart for sacred uses as the Lord’s to be used only for sacred purposes. But this was an arrangement only for “ the house of servants.” The Lord has left “ the house of sons “ without any such law or regulation. In the case of “the house of sons,” not merely one-tenth, but everything is consecrated, sacrificed, and all is to be used for the Lord’s work. A LESSON BEFORE DYING BY: ERNEST J.

During his lengthy address, — Mr. Farrakhan attacked Congress and the major politi- cal parties, accusing lawmak- ers of being beholden to . corporate interests and unin- terested in solving the prob- lems of the black community and the poor. "It is a government of the rich, by the rich, for the rich," he told a crowd that extended from the foot of the Capitol to the Lincoln Memorial. The poor "exist from crumbs that fall from the rich man's ta- ble." The sharp rhetoric from the speakers during the daylong event, which came on _ the anniversary of the Million Man March convened five years earlier by Mr Farrakhan, stood in contrast to the festive and joyous mood of the crowd sitting on blan- kets or lawn chairs in the hot sun. "It's just 9 blessing to see so many people come together with their family and chil- dren," said Nather Roby of Milwaukee, who made a 12- hour bus trip with friends. Where the Million Man March focused on the empow- erment of black men, the Million Family March sought * «wider reack. While the marchers were overwhelm- ingly black, the crowd was sprinkled with whites and Asians, many from the Rev. Sun Myung Moon's Unification Church. The Nation of Islam and the Unification Church have es- tablished closer ties in the last few years, and at the march's end Mr. Farrakhan presided over a mass "marriage bless- ing" reminiscent of ceremo- nies conducted by Mr. Moon. Many singled out racial and religious unity as the day's most significant accomplish- ment. "Family is the one thing we can all mobilize around," said Robin Harden, an Austin in- mate drug-treatment coun- selor who came with a caravan of more than 100 Texans who left Austin by bus early Saturday morning and arrived in Washington on Sunday af- ternoon. Mr. Farrakhan vowed to launch a voter registration drive with the help of his allies in the hip-hop community, such as rap mogul Russell Simmons, saying the cam- paigns of presidential candi- dates George W. Bush and Al Gore have turned their backs on the 18-to-35 crowd. "You have been too good to those who have lied to you and deceived you," he said. "I believe we should punish our elected officials when they don't represent us, the peo- ple." Instead of bromides from the political parties, the black community must look to itself ‘tan political ad 060 nomic strides, he said. "As a black people, there is nothing that we've gained in America that we didn't have to suffer, bleed and die to get,” he said. He also asked every attendee and those watching the. pro- ceedings at home to send in $100 or more to a new eco- nomic development fund that he pledged would ‘reach $500 million to $1 billion this time next year. The fund would be used as seed capital to create new businesses in the black com- munity, to fund economic de- velopment in Africa - and bankroll campaign contribu- tions, Mr. Farrakhan said. "I believe if we can do this, we can bring ourselves out of the condition that we are in," he said. In a speech that fell just short of a political declaration, Mr. Farrakhan offered himself as an alternative. "I'm running on my record and my record is better than any of the candidates," he said. "I've been fighting for you, and I'm asking you now to back me." But as the crowd chanted "Farrakhan for president," he appeared to pull back. "I'm not a politician. I like to speak the truth," he said. Mr. Farrakhan, who previ- ously has provoked consider- able controversy over the years with anti-white and anti- Semitic proclamations, was in- clusive in his comments re- garding other races and religions. _ FOUNTAIN YOUTH DEVELOPMENT CENTER be "by Faith May The Fountain Youth Development Center started August 1999 located at 3583 N. Railroad i haven for‘latchkey children. The center provides the children with special events such as cattoret and + ath festivals, fieldtrips and other activities and programs. FYDC must set high performance standards: for students to achieve--stating clearly and publicly what each student should know and be able to do in each subject area. FYDC’s primary objective and goal is to close the achievement gap between students of Fountain and other Pitt County students. Also, challenging them to reach a much higher education academic standard. By educating the children in this area we will help keep them out of jails and the prison system __ and this will help them to become better citizens. FYDC with the 4-H Program in place is presently working and planning to be a part of the Pitt County Fair year. This is something Fountain has never had nor been inyolved in. This will be a great accomplishment for this small town and the surrounding area as part of the FYDC initiative. We envision a society in which all families, communities, government, social service . institutions, churches, businesses, etc., work together to provide healthy, safe environme i _ families to live and work in. All children, youth, and families can get the resources they need. wiht in thet L neighborhoods, where it counts the most.

Repentance must be followed with renewal. There must be renewal in the way we think, what we desire and how we exercise our wills. Renewal is not something we wait for God alone to accomplish. It is a change we are personally ac- countable to pursue. What I have been describing may be a little confusing to some . Christians, because they only think of repentance in the context of salvation (Titus 3:5) and re- newal in the context of the Holy Spirit's work on our behalf But the scriptures also emphasize repen- tance and renewal in relation to godliness. God not only wants us to be saved but to be holy as well. "You were taught to put one yee former . way of life, your old self corrupt and deluded by its lusts, and to be renewed in the spirit of your minas, and to clothe yourselves with the new self created accord- righteous Ephesians 4:22-24."7 appeal to therefore, brothers and sis- stronghold that has been estab- lished in the thoughts and desires and the taking captive of all our thoughts and making them obedi- ent to Christ. (2 Corinthians 10:3-5) The mind is the battlefield where we are confronted by the fiery darts of temptation. Prideful thoughts and self-righteousness or negative thoughts and self- accusation often have their source from our adversary. God wants us to be alert to the enemy's wiles and resist them. He gives us the grace to accomplish that to which He has called us. We work out our salvation cooperatively with Him as He has sovereignly ordained (Philippians 2:12-13; Colossians 3:10). He continually calls us to personal responsibility to join His program of perfecting us. Renewal is bringing our nature under the discipline of God's truth. It is not easy, but can be accomplished by relying upon the Holy Spirit. He guides us and ‘enables us and transforms us as we cooperate with Him. Repentance and renewal in rela- tionship to godly living is where many Christians are failing mis- erably in their obedience to God. The reason Satan is having such a field day in Christian lives is because there is an overwhelming lack of repentance and renewal among believers. Many have not been taught that God's word commands us to pursue holiness. "But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all YOU do; for it is written: ‘Be holy, because I am holy." (I Peter 1:15-16). If we do not obey this command, we will permit Satan to make legal claims upon areas of our lives because of our disobedience. Much of our prayer counseling deals with these elements of _fepentance and renewal. These “are basic spiritual principles from . which we must never move. When a community of people best ‘a spirit of ~ ~ n to participate in the renewa: that God desires for their lives, open for revival. Thoughh prefer to have the free- dom to do what they want without anyone exercising any spiritual oversight over them. These people are quick to see the faults in others, but not themselves. They use the faults of others as an excuse for what they do. This kind of attitude is not conducive to the unity in the body of Christ or to revival. This is why issues or repentance and renewal are so vital. repentance is a bad word to all but the humble. We should not think: of revival as a magic want or cure-all for all that is wrong with our lives and circumstances. Many Christians are waiting on God to change — their lives when He has called ‘them to take responsibility for dealing with sin and relying upon His help. Although revival does make us conscious of our won sinfulness, its main purpose is to reach out and provide large num- bers of people with a powerful manifestation of God's love and | ST.

More and more Christians sense in their spirits that revival is imminent. I believe that God is now preparing the army that He wants in place when His Spirit ig moves. He is calling each of us to accountability regarding our spiri- tual condition. He wants holy vessels to pour out His Spirit and fill. He wants disciplined and prepared people to respond to the leading of His Spirit in any moment and: do whatever He reveals, He wants His people to be sensitive to His voice and not reason away the thoughts and desires He is laying upon our hearts and minds. This is the question we must ask. Are we ready for God's Spirit to work freely in, our lives and do whatever needs to be’ done in order that God may be glorified and His will be accomplished? Do not say yes to this question until you have counted the cost. The bottom line is that we will not be able to effectively attack tual ey gir unless we .
