3B LIFE/Ctt C|)arlatte $o(t Thursday, March 2 2006 Etiquette always in style Continued from page 1B letic banquet and (former WSSU basketball coach Clarence) Bighouse Gaines had commented on my table etiquette after the banquet,” she said. “He said ‘I noticed how you were helping the other students with what fork to use, tapping them on the hand and telling them not to use that fork.” As a college student, Roach said her friends leaned on her ffor tips on table manners. “I took what I did in college and I took some of the things I did in the Junior League and that’s how I developed my curriculum,” she said. Roach started Miss Ebon/s in 2000 and became a non profit in 2005. Right now, she has 49 students enrolled in the program. Over the years, she has seen the seeds she’s planted blossom, with former students thriving in college. Roach offers modeling class es, dance classes, step and showcase events. But that isn’t the entire focus of the program. Roach said she uses modeling and dancing to get students in, but they walk away with more. They also learn about personal develop ment, communication skills, personal hygiene, table and social etiquette skills and how to dress for all occasions. Students also do a community service project, either individ ually or in a group. “I tell the girls that not everyone in this room will become a model,” she said. Starnes said the skills that Miss Ebony teaches should be taught in public schools. As a native of New Jersey, she grew up learning the basics. “I wanted to give my daugh ter this at an early age,” she said. Nakiya credits Miss Ebony’s with bringing her out of her shell and making her a stronger person. “Miss Ebony always knows how to fix a problem,” said Nakiya, whose goal is to go to medical school and become a pediatrician. Roach said she believes her purpose is to give back to inner city girls and boys, and no matter how big her pro gram grows, she won’t leave the community. “You won’t find Miss Ebony’s out in Ballentyne,” she said. “My job is tai^eting us.” Classes are held on Sundays from 2-5 p.m. and the cost of tuition is $50 per month.

The East High School stu dents, whose. identities were not released, distributed the fliers on campus and were reported to the principal by other students. The fliers did not contain threats but were inappropri ate, said Principal Mary Meier. They criticized Black History Month and implied that establishing the National Association for the How clean is your salon Continued from page 1B Cosmetology, the goal is to assure consumers of clean and sanitary salons. It isn’t always the case. “The only thing that bothers me is the fact that they reuse tools they know should be thrown in the trash,” says Jaquasha Young, 20, a Central Piedmont Community College student and fr^uent salon client. Consumers can report com plaints about unsanitary salon conditions by visiting the state cosmetology board website at www.nccosmeti- carts.com/forms/complaint_fo rm.pdf Advancement of Colored People was racist, Meier said. The students were suspend ed for “multiple days,” Meier said. “The kids got a very clear message that we’re not going to put up with it. Wyndolyn Bailey heard about the incident from her 16-year-old daughter. “It was being hung up and passed out to the point where my daughter called me on her cell phone and said. You just come and get me. There’s too much,’” Bailey said.
