by Dr. Stan Knick, Director, UNCP Native American Resource Center
.he Native American Resource
Center is pleased to announce a
reprise showing of our multi-media
exhibit entitled Keeping The Circle:
Expressions of Eastern North
Carolina Native Americans. This
exhibit opened here at Ihe Center two
years ago and has since then traveled
to numerous venues around North
Carolina. It has finally come home,
and before we return the artworks to
the artists, we are providing the public
with one last opportunity to view this
excellent collection by The
SPIRITWORKS! Group.
This assembly of individuals
represents the Native people of
eastern North Carolina. Their works
for this show revolve around the
central theme of "keeping die circle,"
a theme which corresponds to their
belief in the importance of keeping
alive the traditions of Native
American cultures in this end of the
state.
The circle is many things. It is
the circle of the family and of the
generations. It is the circle of the
earth and the sky. It is the circle of
the universe and all things. It is the
circle of art anil culture It is the circle
of the Native nations. The exhibit
Keeping The Circle demonstrates that
Native art and culture are alive and
well and still growing in the
homelands of the Lumbee. Saponi
and Tusearora.
The SPIRITWORKS! Group
consists of: Mary J. Bell; Barbara
Braveboy-Locklear; Patricia Brayboy;
Earl Many Skins Carter; Gail Chavis:
the late Ray Chavis; Mark A. Chavis;
Shantonia Chavis; Tony Locha Clark;

This is the most diverse exhibit
ever presented by The Center, and it is
also the first time we have mounted a
multi-artist exhibit which has a central
theme. Keeping The Circle embraces
both traditional and modem works in
I
various media, including ceramics,
basketry, beadwork, wood, gourds,
turtle shell, painting, poetry, textiles,
computer-assisted collage imagery,
mixed-media, music, videotape,
stained glass and others.
The exhibit includes a videotape
of interviews with some of the
SPIRITWORKS! members, featuring
selected artworks from the show as
well as music by Purald and Ulali.
The videotape was produced with
assistance from Oscar Patterson and
George Johnson of WNCP-TV. The
videotape can also be viewed on our
website.
Keeping The Circle will be on
display in The Center until 15 June.
An artists' gathering to celebrate the
Keeping The Circle project and
to honor the SPIRITWORKS!
participants will be held in The Center
on Thursday, 15 June at 2:30 PM.

Pediatric Pointers I
by Dr. Joey Bell, Pembroke Pediatrics
Chicken pox is a highly contagious
\irus infection that is
characterized by a \ery distinctive
rash. About 90? o of all cases are seen
in children less than 10 sears of age.
The infection is most common from
January through May. but may occur
at any time in any age patient. The
sirus is typically spread by direct
contact to the rash or by inhaled air
droplets. Patients are usually contagious
for about 24 hours prior to the
outbreak of the rash until the lesions
have crusted over (about 6 days).
The chance of a second case of chicken
pox in the same patient is rare, but it
can happen.
Most cases of chicken pox occur
between 11-21 day s after exposure to
a contagious person. In the typical
case, the patient will have symptoms
in the 24 hours prior tot he outbreak
of the rash. These symptoms usually
consist of fever, decreased appetite
and just "not feeling well". When the
rash appears, it usually starts on the
chest and back as red bumps and
spreads to the arms, legs and face.
The bumps quickly become blisterlike.
then pop and crust over. Some
cases are mild, with only a few bumps
and low-grade fever, while other cases
can be severe, with lesions from head
to toe and higher fever. The bumps
are usually itchy and sometimes kids
will scratch infection into them.
While the vast majority of cases of
chicken pox resolve without difficulty,
occasionally patients will
develop complications, especially in
adults who contract the infection.
About 20% of adults who come down
with chicken pox will develop a type
of viral pneumonia. Chicken pox
can effect the eye, heart, kidney,
liver, and even brain in severe cases,
usually in adults and rarely in children.
Usually the treatment of chicken
pox is aimed at helping resolve the
itchiness and fever. Benadryl or
other antihistamines are good for
itchiness; Calamine lotion and
oatmeal baths may help also. Tylenol
is best for fever. Remember, never
use aspirin with chicken pox; the
combination may cause Reye Syndrome,
a serious brain disorder.
There is a new prescription anti-viral
medication called Acyclovir that can
shorten the duration of the illness
and a new vaccine to help prevent
new cases. Take Care.

Don't Worry-Be Happy
We can have one or the other at any given time, but we cannot have
both at the same time. True happiness only comes through faith in God
through His Son Jesus Christ. This is totally opposite to worry. It is a
terribly ugly thing for a Christian to worry. When we worry, we are
doubting God. What can be uglier than that? Don't worry, God, as
usual, has provided a solution. "Set you affections on things above-not
here on earth." Keep your mind on God's word-meditate on God's
word. Believe God when He says He will supply. God is good. Don't
worry-Be happy. May the Spirit of God remind us of the promises of
God-teach us to look to God-to His word and allow our faith to grow.
In Jesus' name. Amen, -by A Concerned Christian.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Pembroke Town councilman says:" Town
Manager tries to undermine Council"
On November 1,1999, Town Manager
McDuffie Cummings gave
Lowery Incorporated a letter which
was unknown to the Town Council.
It stated:
"TO Whom It May Concern:
"Lowery Incorporated will be allowed
to connect into a sewer forced
main located along SR 1339 Deep
Branch Road property located is located
at the intersection of Deep
Branch Road and Hwy 710.
"If you need additional information,
please call me at 910-521 -9758."
The Town of Pembroke Cord of
Ordinances clearly states on page 12
under Public Work Section 51.030
"Service Area Service shall not be
extended beyond the town limits except
upon approval of the Town
Council."
On November 8, 1999 this letter
allowed Mr. Lowery's contractor to
go to the Robeson County Inspection
and Zoning Department and get a
building permit for a convenience
store 3,200 square feet.
The Lowery Project is under way.
Mr. Archie Lowery proceeds to
build a convenience sore and a com
mercial washerette when he only has
a permit for convenience store.
April 3, 2000 Mr. Ron Sutton, Attorney
at Law, presents Proposed
Annexation behalf of Mr. Joseph
Archie and Mary J. Lowery.
In his proposed report, Mr. Lowery
wants the Town of Pembroke to
pay $50,000 to provide water to he
Lowery Project. Lowery wants the
Town of Pembroke to construct a lift
station to allow him to tie or hook up
to City sewer at an expense of $20,000
to the town and $30,000 of the
Lowerys, if he could be annexed in to
town. Now, he has a planned car wash
and 70 proposed sites for homes with
only one building permit for a convenience
store.
This constitutes an illegal or unauthorized
project.
After all information has been
brought to the Town Manager's attention,
he is still in support of this
project. I wonder why!
Due to the fact that part of this
information was not revealed to the
Pembroke Town council, the town
manager had Mayor Milton Hunt and
Town Councilman and Mayor Proteam
Larry Brooks in favor of discussing
this project with the Lowerys. He was
responsible for having three other
Council members chastised by The
Robesonian as "Brain Deads" and
our own local Carolina Indian Voice
with speculations as tow two members
owning and operating the same
type business as a convenience store
and washerette. I have a building
leased. I do not own a convenience
store, business or a washerette. Town
Councilman Gregory Cummings operates
a car wash and does not own a
washerette. The issue about a car
wash would have to be brought to the
council as a conditional use permit.
I would like to thank town councilmen,
Gregory Cummings and
Larry McNeill for not supporting
and.voting with me against this illegal
project.
It is not the responsibility of the
Town of Pembroke or its citizens to
invest in. *. Lowery Project located
outside . ,-ity limits and also the
one mile extended jurisdiction.
