Alcohol
Counseling
Service
Now
Operational
...ajelal venter* of
Southeastern Mantel Health
Center and Lam bee Regional
Lumbee Regional Develop
ment Association, Inc. (LRDA)
has broadened it's scope of
community services and with
the help of the Southeastern
Mental Health Center is now
operating an alcohol counsel
ina service.
The program officially began
January 3. 1978 with the
opening of officea at me
Revels Motel Office Complex
on Highway 711 East in
Pembroke.
Historically, alcohol counsel
ing has not been readily
accepted by the larger Indian
community, primarily because
the services had been quarter
ed in Lumberton.
A few months ago South
eastern Mental Health Center
approached Lumbee Regional
Development Association a
bout providing services to the
greater Indian community and
a joint venture developed from
the extended dialogue be
tween the two agencies.
Boyd G. Sweeney, coordi
nator, Alcoholism Programs
for the Southeastern Mental
his feelings on the matter in a
letter to Mr. Kenneth Maynor,
executive director of LRDA.
Said Sweeney, "...it ? ,
essential that our agencies
maintain a close relationship. ^
We expect to receive extensive ^
information and guidance from (
you, especially in orientating {
our staff to the unique socio- (
logical aspects of the com- {
munity."
The program is being funded
by an Alcohol Abuse Develop
ment Grant (mote readily
known as Hughes Alcoholism
funds, federal monies set
aside through the legislative
leadership of the former Sena
tor Harold Hughes, an admit
ted alcoholic himself).
LRDA is providing, through
its CETA program, funding for
the staff that is now under
going extensive training.
The two agencies decided
that the major objective of the
program should be to establish
a satellite clinic in the city of
Pembroke with some facilities
for day care and room enough
to hold Alcoholic Anonymous
meetings. The program also
put strong emphasis on de
veloping Indian staff mem
bers Both of these objectives
have been met with the es
tablishment of the office in
Pembroke and the naming of
an Indian staff to service the
community.

OFF SEASON IS A BUSY ONE
FOR GENE LOCKLEAR
GtMlfeUw... A Major Leageer
Many of us who work every
day might be misled Into
thinking that Gene "Chief"
Lock]ear lives a life of ease in
the winter time, after a season
of playing baseball, a child's
game, and getting paid for it.
Don't believe it. Gene is a hard
working painter who does not
watch the dock when he is
working. It is not unusual for
him to spend ten or twelve ?
hours a day working on a
painting when he is inspired or
painting one of the many
"commissions" that come his
way.
_ Or he might be flying to
California to confer with his
business manager about his
unsettled baseball future.
Gene, who lives in the Mt.
/\iry Community with his
mother, Mrs. Catherine Lock
lear during the off season,
finished out the season with
the New York Yankees, al
though he came up too late in
the season to qualify for World
Series play. Gene declared
himself a free agent after the
last season and he has not, to
date, signed with another
team.
But don't count him out. He
expects to sign with someone.
He is still dickern^^w^^a
number of team*, including
the Texas Rangers and the Los
Angeles Dodgers. He expect* to
' announce his plan* for next
season in a few weeks.
In the mean time he is
staying busy, working hard.
He just finished a very suc
cessful exhibit of his painting
at Waccamaw Bank in Lum
berton. He sold a number of
paintings, enough to encour
age him to work at his craft.
He also makes a number of
personal experiences during
the off season. Recently he
was honored by his community
and members of the Pembroke
Junior Tar Heel Baseball
Team. They presented Gene
with a trophy with pedestals
holding the four baseballs
representing the four home
runs he hit in one game with
the Syracuse Chiefs last sea
son. The feat tied a record held
by seven other players in the
International League where he
spent most of the season
before being caUed up by the
New York Yankees at the end
of the year.
But the off season is not all
work, personal appearances,
and worrying about his future.
Being a major leaguer has
certain rewards too. Gene is on
his way this week to visit
Caracao, a West Indian Island
in the Nethertand Antilles. He
will be joining a number of
sports celebrities, movie stars,
and famous folk, courtesy of
the Caracao Government, to
take part in festivities herald
ing "Super Star Cky." a
Tourist Attraction, featuring
condominiums named after
the stars.
Lockiear began playing pro
fessional baseball in 1969 in
the minor leagues in Tampa,
Fla., moving several times
before making the major lea
gues in 1973 when he was
signed by Cincinnati. He play
ed with San Diego for three
years before being traded last
year to the New York Yankees.
An outfielder, he went to
Syracuse. N.Y., in July to play
with a Triple A team and at the
end of the year returned to the
Yankees. It was on July 14 that
he slammed four over the
fence in one game. However,
he maintains he is not a power
hitter.
Gene really does believe in
"luck." being in the right
place at the right time. But he
believes that working, staying
busy, moving around helps
"luck" happen. Like always,
the off season is a busy one for
Gene "Chief* Lockiear, Indi
an major leaguer.

New staff named
Named to head the satellite
office in Pembroke are Leon
Maynor, Albert Harding and
Kathy Cummings. They are
undergoing extensive training
under the guidance of Boyd
Sweeney, coordinator of Alco
holism Programs for the men
tal health center.
The program is assured of
one year's funding. Plans are
to hire the staff permanently at
the end of one year, subject to
their passing the state merit
exam and securing of addition
al funding. LRDA, through its
CETA program, is providing
the training.
Both agencies express satis
faction with the program.
Said Kenneth Maynor. execu
tive director of LRDA. "This
program, we hope, will serve
as a model for others. We
believe LRDA and the South
eastern Mental Health Center,
combining their talents can
begin to come to grips with the
problem of alcoholism in our
community."
A survey compiled by LRDA
and the mental health center
revealed that alcoholism treat
ment had not been effective in
the Indian community for a
number of reaaons. For one
thing, the availability of alco
holism counseling is not
known to many Indian alco
holics and their families. Too.
many Indian alcoholics tend to
accept alcoholism as a way of
life, feeling that nothing can
be done about the problem.
Too. the program has been
teen as a "White man's
program." There also eiists a
mistrust and fear In dealing
with any agency outside their
own community- Many Indians
tend to accept alcoholism as s
moral or religious issue In
stead of s dleease
Because of the above rea
