Pages A New Battle In Bentonville Over 200 years have passed since a Civil War battle was fought at Bentonville battle ground. Many North Carolinians were killed fighting the war. North Carolina sent more soldiers into the Confederate Army than any other state. Even people who were not soldiers suf fered. The Union Navy blockaded the North Carolina coast. This blockade forced people to do without many things. Even though the Southern armies fought bravely, they could not win the war. And the war finally ended in 1865. Now! We find ourselves engaged in a new battle in Bentonville. The battle started on July 18, 1988 late on a Monday evening around 7 p.m. That battle was the fight against Adult Illiteracy, a major problem for many residents of Bentonville and surround ing Johnston County townships. A miraculous victory was recorded on July 18, 1988 when 15 citizens of Benton ville township led by Mrs. Linda Thornton, a dedicated mother desiring for her family to take the front line in the battle against adult illiteracy said, “We shall not be defeated!” Then the attack on the opponent (Adult Il literacy) took place with a positive attitude. One of the soldiers came forward and said, “I want to learn how to read well enough to get my High School Diploma and a promo tion on the job.” Another soldier remarked, “I want to learn how to write.” The other sol diers’ eyes were filled with joy and enthusi asm because they had a free opportunity to attend class in their community. Armed with eagerness they weic ready to fight the op ponent (Adult Illiteracy). Mrs. Dorothy Lee, a resident of Benton ville, is the field captain for the front line. She is busy preparing the strategy or strategies to be used while in battle. Soldiers will assemble and retreat to Bentonville Community Build ing on Monday and Thursday evenings from 7-9:00 to map and plan strategies of attack. Several strategies will be used; from indi vidualized instruction to group discussion with use of supplementary and visual aids will be employed to help in the combat against Adult Illiteracy. We realize the battle will be long and tedi ous; however, with proper instruction and different strategical methods a victory will be won against adult illiteracy. If you live in the Bentonville area and you want to join the fight against Adult Illiteracy, please call Lee E. Liles, 934-3051, exten sion 234, or Dorothy lee at 594-0345. # EN3LISH AS A SECOIC LANGUAffi ARE CLASSES P3R FOREIQJ-BCRN INDIVIDUALS DESIRHC TO DEVELOP BASIC SURVIVAL ENGLISH, WRITTEN AM) CDWERSATIONAL SKILLS. #ElTglish As A Second Language 4- 6 p.m. Su 8/ 7-10/16/88 44 Faith Beqptist Ch. $ 0.

Jimmie Massengill BLET Graduate On His Way Up It’s 4:15 a.m. and time to get up and mov ing for 21-year-old Jimmie Massengill of Four Oaks. Days for Jimmie start early when he has to report for duty at 6 a.m. as one of “Selma’s Finest,” Jimmie Massengill is a po lice officer and a graduate of Johnston Com munity College’s Basic Law Enforcement Training (BLET) program. Jimmie, the son of Cecil and Jean B. Mas sengill of Four Oaks, decided at an early age that he wanted a career in law enforcement. With a mother as a magistrate, Jimmie had many opportunities to see first hand what be ing a law enforcement officer was all about. At the age of 15, Jimmie began working part-time as a dispatcher for the Benson Po lice Department and became PIN (Police In formation Network) certified. He received a lot of help and guidance from an officer that later became an inspiration to Jimmie. The officer is Lt. Clark White who is presently with the Smithfield Police Department. At the age of 18, Jimmie was employed by the Johnston County Sheriff’s Depart ment. A new county-wide communications system had just been set up and Jimmie be gan working as a telecommunicator, dis patching for five police departments. After attending Wilson Technical College for a short time, Jimmie decided to enroll in the Basic Law Enforcement Training pro gram at Johnston Community College. Jim mie believed that the program at JCC tho roughly prepared him for his state examina tion necessary to become a law enforcement officer. According to Jimmie, “Everything in the program was important. You couldn’t leave anything out and be able to do your job well.” Jimmie admits that he is occasionally con fronted with something new and has to refer to his books for information. After graduating with a 4.0 average and with 5 years experience as a dispatcher, job hunting was easy for Jimmie. He accepted a position with the Selma Police Department. Jimmie has yet another goal, and that is to become a North Carolina State Trooper. He has already applied to Highway Patrol school and we wish him good luck! Jimmie’s advice to anyone considering law enforcement as a career; “make sure it is what you want to do. You can’t get rich doing it. But then, it’s not just a job. I believe the best police onicers are those who have wanted to become one for a long time. You’ve got to have it in your heart.” Johnston Community College will offer a Basic Law Enforcement Training Course be ginning October 4, 1988. The class will meet Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. for 11 weeks in Room 213. Basic Law Enforcement TrainiKg^cludes 439 hours of instruction and meets the man dated basic training requirements of the North Carolina Criminal Justice Training and Standards Council and the North Caro lina Sheriff’s Commission. Upon successful completion of the BLET program, students will be eligible to take the comprehensive written examination of the Commission. Employment opportunities include She riff Deputy, Police Officer, Security Organi zations and Correctional Institutions. For more information on the Basic Law Enforcement Training Course, you may contact David H. Creech at JCC, 934-3051, extension 271.
