I need to get an announcement in about the mass meeting Sunday night.” “OK, Mr. Monk ....” You might wonder how he got away with doing that so easily. I’ve been thinking about that myself after . learning about his death, He didn’t yell or fuss, wasn’t pushy about it. He just asked in his humble, quiet way. I don’t quite understand it, but Mr. Monk was not someone you could tell “No,” at least not easily, That was true not only for me, but for others, too, including D.H. Conley, who Was superintendent of Pitt County Schools. As the head teacher of the black Warren Chapel School, Mr. Monk asked Conley for the new text books the state had provided for county students instead of settling for the discarded books from the white school. In a 1999 interview with The Daily Reflector, Monk explained, “Nobody ever asked (the superintendent) anything like that before, everybody else been takin’ them, but I’m new and all and I don’t know any better.” Without notice, Mr. Monk’s new books were delivered one day, piled up in the schoolyard. The books weren’t the only request Mr. Monk made of the superintendent. When he was principal of the black Nichols School, the used piano the PTA had raised’ money to purchase was destroyed by mice while it was stored over the summer. “T told (the Superintendent) my folk scratched, sold tobacco, chipped in their little money to buy that piano, and I don’t feel like asking “em any more. We need a piano.” The Nichols School got a brand new piano. Mr. Monk worked in the public schools through the difficult times of segregation, then integration. By the time he retired as principal of Ayden Middle School in 1989, blacks and whites had settled into learning together. They had a great teacher. — “a Cherie Speller is associate editor for readership and community news at The Daily Reflector. Contact her at 329-9512 or cspeller@coxnc.com. Comments: Gaston Monk’s list of contributions is lengthy: time spent on the Pitt County Board of Social Services, a member of the advisory board for State Employees ‘Credit Union and the secretary-treasurer for Bell Arthur Water Corporation. “His greatest gift in life was truly helping his brother, No matter when, no matter where any brother in need,” Mr. Burthey of Burthey Funeral Service in Durham NC said. The Elizabeth City State Teacher’s College and N.C. A&T State University graduate also spent 14 years as president of Pitt County’s National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. “He was a great leader to serve under,” said Calvin Henderson, the current Pitt County NAACP president who served under Monk until 2003. “He had a great concern for equality and Justice for all people.” Fortunately, he said Monk never ceased stopping by the county office to “share, encourage and advise” to the new leaders. “It’s a great loss not only to the NAACP but to the community, county and state,” he said, Cd NCDOT ie || | F a fhe ai RSVP by AMMING FOR FUNDRAISER ON BEHALF OF BISHOP RANDY B. ROYALON NOVEMBER 2006 WAS A HUGE SUCCESS For those of you who don’t believe that GOD is still on his strong protecting his children, the outpour of prayers, support, and money sent to Bishop Royal during his time of need clearly shows that he is still in the helping business. The event was very successful. Some fifteen groups/ individuals volunteered their talents for the event, and all attendees were inspired by the various presentations. We heard talents from all aged groups and four counties (New Bern, Rocky Mount, Wilson and Pitt Counties). Some $3,700.00 was raised before the event: some $1,300.00 was raised during the event with some $ , i i hoe ___Minority Voice February 1-15, 2008 pps 1,000.00 raised after the event.

Minority Voice February 1-15, 2008 pg8 Sow A Seed Failure to Yield Joy R. Brown Accidents?we’ve all had one during some time in our lives. Accidents?we’ve all been the guilty party and the innocent party in some of the episodes. I remember one accident that could have been fatal, however, God _ allowed it to work out in my favor. I was On my Way to work on Friday, December 3, 2003. At approximately . 7:53am a black truck pulled out in ~ my lane. The speed limit was 55; however you know how we can do at times. I was driving approximately 55- 60 miles per hour and ran into the truck. My car was totaled, airbags came out, the windshield shattered in a. million pieces and the front of my car was smashed. How | escaped the car accident with — minor injuries, only God can — explain. I received a few bruises, soreness and glass in my left hand. When the police arrived on the scene, the seventy-year old gentleman who had previously pulled out in front of me explained to the police officer that he saw me coming but failed to yield. Failure to yield in this - particular incident could have cost my life and the gentleman’s life as well. How many times have we failed to yield, slow down and take — caution when warning signs are ahead of us? We see visible signs or hear a still calm voice speaking but ignore it. Just as the gentleman in my accident was probably thinking, I can make it before that car gets too close; we assume the same in our lives. We sometimes believe that we can perform an impulsive act and pull out before any danger occurs, How many people with that same concept are in the grave, in the hospital, living with HIV, AIDS, STDs, or unwanted pregnancies? Many times we believe that God is trying to prevent us from enjoying life but on the flip side, He is preserving our lives. God’s plan and purpose for us is to enjoy life to its fullest. He wants us to live life in the abundance, 3 John and 2 says, “Beloved, I wish CATCHTHE PIRATI ; PEPSI! Family Pack: $40 GETS 4 tickets 4 hot dogs 4 Pepsi drinks | ~~ interest.

If you truly love someone, you willnot purposely hurt him or her. God wants the same thing, He wants us to love Him. When you love, you can trust. When you trust, you will listen. For example, I know my mother loves me. Because I know that she loves me, my mother would never do anything to hurt me or place me in harm’s way. Because she loves me and she would not hurt me, I have security in knowing that if she gives me‘advice, it’s because she’s concerned about me: Therefore,Ican trust her because she is looking out for my best concept to God. When He - speaks to.us?first of all, how does He speaks to us? God may speak to you through His Word, through prayer (a time of communicating with Him), through another person or through a song. Your spirit must be opened to receive from God in whatever way He chooses to speak. When He speaks, we must be so secure in our relationship with Him to know that if I don’t feel “good” about this decision, this must be God’s way of warning us. Many times, because we are human, we ignore all the right sign : aes ae 0 through enough, “Is this God or is this Joy?” dilemmas, I can give you the best advice, Weigh the options. Check out the pros and cons of your decision. Ask God for © directions. If your decision is going to pull you away from God, the answer is no. If it is going to push you closer to God and assist in fulfilling your purpose and destiny, the answer is yes, Listen for the voice of God, know when to 80, stop, or yield, It pays to be cautious.
