Preparing for Mother Nature's Disasters
The recent snow storm made
most of us realize that we cannot be
too prepared for disasters. The ones
that experienced power outages
realized even more how we depend
. .
upon electricity.
Electricity is instrumental for
pumping water into our homes.
Therefore, we cannot bathe, wash
dishes, or run drinking water with
out electrical power. Our habits and
subconscious reflexes play tricks on
us when the electricity is off. We go
in rooms automatically flipping
light switches, cutting on televi
sions, radios, flushing commodes,
turning on faucets, and stoves that
do not respond or operate* as most
youngsters complain "it's boring
without electricity."
The whole experience makes
most people realize it's important to
be prepared for disasters. Keep these
tips in mind:
Stock at least two quarts of
water per person per day. Store the
ivater in a sealed (unbreakable) con
tainer. If not used, replenish the
?vfvater from time to time so that it
ywill be fresHT
When choosing food for disas
ters, include those which the family
? likes; require little or no water for
preparation; can be eaten without
heating; are packaged in one-meal
sizes; require minimum storage
space; have a long storage life; can
be rotated in your home fo6d sup
ply; and contain water substitutes
(such as canned fruit, vegetables or
fruit juices). Cold cuts are okay if
they require no refrigeration and are
not hazardous to the health.
When preparing foods, never
can be found. It's always good to
have some type of heating alterna
tive such as a fireplace or an oil
heater. Follow manufacturer's

Black Television
Apollo Theater Foundation. Sutton
wjLl be advising the network regard
iig-%>4ustry relation aflkdhetWork
agreements with o^le operators and
entertainment studios.
World African Network will j
join Home Box Office, Showtime, i
Cinemax and Disney Channel as the
only other, premium stations. But
World African Network will not
compete directly with those stations,
said Phyllis Tucker Vinson, execu
tive vice president of World African
Network.
"We'll be showing more inde
pendently produced movies, docu
mentaries," she said. "We're not
really going after the big-budget
movies that HBO and Showtime
get. We'll do more behind-the
scenes interviews, interviewing the
stars and looking at how the movie
was made."
World African Network will air
24 hours a day, seven days a week
and will cost S9.95 a month, said
Vinson, a former vice president of
children* -and family programs for
NBC.
She said World African Net
work is different than Black Enter
tainment Television. One way, she
said, is that BET is not a premium
station. Secondly, World African
Network will have more segments
from African countries and the Car
ribean, she said.
"We see it as having a very big
distinction from BET," she said.
"Some of our programming will
have to be an acquired taste."
Vinson said extensive research
has been done to determine what
African Americans want to see on
the cable network.
"We are very careful in anazly
ing this," she said. "We are trying to
target where there is a strong
African-American audience."
She said the network will likely
target the top 40 markets initially.
Although "Winston^Salem is not in
the top 40, Vinson said, if enough
interest is shown the cable company
will service the area. She said the
key to getting the service in a partic:
ular market is convincing the cabie
service operators that there is a
strong interest in the network so
they can carry it, she said.
Vinson said existing program
ming will include theatrically
released movies from major studios
and from independent producer
made-for-television movies,
selected television series, concerts,
sports and documentaries. The orig
inal programming will be designed
to provide an African-American
perspective on existing programs,
she said. This will include profiles
of and interviews with celebrities
The shock, the anguish, the damage ? the results of a crash far outweigh the
time you save by driving fast. It's a fact that your chances of hitting someone or
something increase as you exceed the speed limit. A crash like this can happen
in a heartbeat. And when it does, it will change your life forever.
