REFLECTIONS byAltaNye Oxendine 1 A NEW DAY A NEW BEGINNING My mother, Mrs. Alts Redfield Nye, will be 85 on January 23. Unlike me, she was never much of s worrier. "Tomorrow is s new day," she would remind me when everything seemed to be going wrong. "You can start over in the morning." We usually think of a new year as a chance to start over. We may make one or more resolutions, determined thatr we will do a better job of living than we did the year before. But then, if you ape like me, by the time you read this you nave tlkely broken at least one important New Year's Resolution. "I might as well just give up on that decision," we usually tell ourselves. "I reckon 1 should have known I'd never be able to change." And that's the end of that! Well, this year I never got around to making any real resolutions. And maybe that's just as well. I believe I'll go back to my mother's advice. At the end of each day I'll try to remember to put into my own words a prayer by Charles H. Gabriel which waa set to music. "An Evening Prayer" was one of my father's favorite hymna: "If I have wounded any soul today caused one foot to go astray walked in my own wilful way, Dear Lord, forgive!" The next morning I plan to remind myself of Proverbs 3:5 and 6, as I ask God to guide me into and through this brand-new day. During the day 1 will try to remember to offer forgiveness to others as God has freely offered it so , miny bUMmm of times to me. I hope also to be willing to ask forgiveness from those around me whenever I have done something to hurt ano ther person. Writing Letten Some of you have met my mother. She lives alone, across the road from my cousin and her family, in the modernized log cabin which was our home when 1 attend ed high school. He rhealth is remarkably good, and she is still quite active. One of her greatest contributions to oth ers has been the thousands of letters she has written, during her lifetime, to friends, rela tives, and even strangers with a special program of one kind of another. As far as I can remember, my mother has never once " expected an,expensive gift foe; Christmas or for her birthday. But this year she has made a special request, for the very first time. She is asking people to remember her with a note for her 85th birthday. "A pretty card would be alright," she says. "But I don't want one without a note. | I'd rather have a few lines on 1 a postal card." I In case you would like to send a simple note to a "young" lady who is still busy writing to others, here is her address: Alto K.Nye Box 305 Twin Bridges, Montana 59754 And thank you for your interest! My Daughter After all our family's past experiences-we had a real scare when Wanda Kay slip ped and hit her head on the pavement last week-end. But this time there was no frac ture or brain damage-tike what happened with Gordon in 1978. Those memories came back to me. I'm so thankful my daughter's sore ness is on the surface snd her mind is still alert. I thank God and all the friends and relatives who have been pray ing for her.

Governor Jim Hunt appointed a Com mission on the F attire of North Carolina. The pufpoae of the Coamisaion is to prepare North Carolina for the 2lst century. A NC 2000 Committee was appointed in each county to build awareness of emerging issues and to insure local citizens have a voice in choosing future directions. ? The Robeson County NC 2000 Committee is providing reformation to enable resi dents to make informed judgements about factors which will shape the future. The local Committee is chair ed by Norma J. Thompson and Tommy D. Swett. Robeson County is growing and changing rapidly. Al though the County lost pop ulation from 1960 to 1970. the trend was reversed during die seventies. In 1980, the County's population exceeded 100, 000 for the first time reaching 101,573. By the year, 2000, the County's population is expected to reach 141,000. The population change is not expected to be uniform for all age groups. While total Population may increase 39 percent by 2000, the number of children aged 0-4 is expect ed to increase only 16 percent. The number of persons over 65may increase 72 percent. The changing age stucture will have a significant impact especially on agencies work ing with the elderly. The racial composition of Robeson County is also changing. In 1960, the racial distribution was 41 percent White, 29.5 percent Black, and 29.5 percent Indian. By 1980, the racial composition was 39.4 percent White, 25.2 percent Black, and 35.4 per cent Indian. The decline in the percent age of Black residents reflects the contiued out-migration of Tbe Increasing per jxektage ofmdians is due to a ?slight higher birth rate and a lower tendency to leave the County. Although the economy of Robeson County remains tied to agriculture, the growing population is creating increa sing pressure on the land. In 1970 in Robeson County there were 89 persons on each square mile of land. By the year 2000 the population density will increase to 149 persons per square mile. . As the county population grows, many changes must be freed. For example, will rising population density dri ve land prices so high that farmers are forced to abandon farming? Will the aging po pulation require expanded medical and nursing facili ties? Host will this larger population be provided with jobs, houses, education, wa ter, and the other necessities of life? For the next several mon ths, the NC 2000 Committee and the Commission on the Future of North Carolina will be gathering opinions and ideas from all citizens. Meet ings will be held and a ballot on future directions for the state will be available. For further information contact Norma J. Thompson or Tommy Swett at 521-4214.

Owen Audi torium for teachers from five schools in the Robeson Coun ty Administrative Unit. The workshop was coordinated by Dr. Vernon R. Thompson. Director at Testing for the system. The workshop was a follow up in analyzing individual child's computerized report from the Insight Unlimited Screening Program that was completed several weeks ago. Conducting the workshop was Mr. William Frykberg, Edu cation Materials Specialist, Dr. Bert lshee, Consultant and Herman Griffin, Principal from Pilot Mountain Elemen tary School. "Putting ft All Together" is a summary statement of In sight Unlimited. This pro gram began in 1968 in Mun cie, Indiana on an experi mental basis. The program concentrates on the four basic areas of child development. These four areas are: Motor Processing, Visual Process ing, Auditory processing and the child's application of Language and basic concepts. There are 56 tests in the program, each taking approx imately 5 to 7 minutes to administer. The program has been assisted and validated for national use by ESEA Title m. The philosophy of the pro gram is meeting the needs of the WHOLE child. Learning activities will be directed to the initiation of a planned educational program which builds upon the child's de velopmental strengths and attempts to remedy and/or eliminate weaknesses. The highlights of the Iu sight Unlimited system in clude: teaching each child as an individual, labeling no el)i]?soreening and individu-^**" alizing instruction, providing precise information, materi als, and systematic proce dures, and it provides the parents with a correlative program. Let's put it together in school and together at home is a challenge for all teachers involved. Teachers participating in the workshop were: fourth, fifth, kindergarten, special needs, Tide I teachers and librarians from Southside/ Ashpole, R.B.
