West Robeson Wrestling News Hunm Wnttlmq Roundup South view High School of KayeUeville had ?i>n 17 of the first 18 houls before Spencer Carter started the Ram Wrestlers off to the winning side. South view is a well . balanced and seasoned leant said Coach Itaneroft. "1 knew we were going to lose several ?latches starting out but I also thought we were going to win a few more loo. However, alter Carter won & heavy weight Marly locklear follow ed, the tide started to turn toward us as we closed out the evetiing winning 11 of the <17 bouts." Carter, Locklear and Donald Chavis won fwo matches each and Kirby Amnions went 1-0 to lead the Ram Wrestlers in the scrimmage. ; Southview is definitely one of of the better teams in the slate, according to Coach lianCroft. 'lhey have every ?wrestler back from last year plus two junior high programs r' weeding them. West Robeson only has four returnees off last year's squad and 30 new hiem tiers at the present. I Marty Locklear had a good hight on the mats. He is a small heavyweight. I -?at >? Banc roll said, lie works hanl in prat-lice and has pretty got*) speed Another wrestler who ItHiked lough was Fresh man Ikillas loc-klear. "1 was real pleased with Ik.lias' performance," said his loo ch. He delealed Southview's starter at 112 whti hail Iwalen two other Kam Wrestlers. Spencer Carter also deserves some recognition, lie is a little lighter than last year hut moves a lot quicker and seems to be in belter shape. Other wrestlers to win a mau-h in the scrimmage were Wylie Oxendine. Danny Spangler. Shane Jacobs. Matthew lot-Wear and Dallas Its-Wear. The Hants wrestle Southview in a regular season dual on December 22. Coach Hancmll believes his leant will be much more competi tive when they meet. The Hams open their season this Saturday at New Bern in a squad meet. Their first home match will be on Saturday, December 6 when they host the Pepsi-Domino Wrestling Classic which involves 8 teams.

There is another aspect of a mistake in philosophy, of conscience and that is called hedonism. It says, "Make merry today for tomorrow we die." It is much belter to keep your health, not to resort to the escapism of alcoholism and drugs, but feel good and healthy as your summa bonnum of life of happiness. The so-called "high" is a philosophical mistake of con science. Lion't let the devil tell you he told you to do it. Campaigns are on now to instill youngsters to say "No" to drugs and other sins of addictions. Communism is a mistake of conscience as they took away Beta's gymnastic program, he defected to the US. There was terrible pain in leaving his daughter over there but he finally got her to the good ol' USA and won the first ever gymnastic Olympic championship.

'these initiatives have been developed and designed by educators and pmiessionals and have the endorsement and support of tin t>eneral Assembly as eductional reform initiatives lor the improvement of the quality ol both teacher prepa ration as well as improved quality of praclioners. Com missioner Taylor, by virtue of Ins comments, would have us remain idle and on standby until these efforts are brought ?o truiuon, and expects us to accept his reasoning that >ilil it innnl lav mono v/ u/ill nnng us to equal educaliunal <i|i|ti>riuniiies in Robeson I <iily. hqual educational <qi|H>rtuniiy cannot be achiev eii until all of us begin at the same starting line, and the history of education in Kobe son County Mould indicate that the discrepancies which exist will require more initia lly s than additional lax re venues. I erhaps what Commission er lay lor voiced, and has la-en supported by Commissi on* is Kritl, Herndon and 1 mnglas, by virtue of their lach ot consensus on the question ot merger, is that quality has a color, and that quality teachers and admini strators are those who segre gate classes, isolate school districts lo maintain segrega tion, and who support the status to avoid competitive ness on an equal basis. ' is this the model of quality alludes? 'these Commissioners will undoubtedly be the first to yell "local governance" when and if the recommendations of tin- National Governors Asso - elation implements slate con urn (it public education in those districts which are not up Ui standard. It is highly possible that the model which t oihiiiissioner Taylor held up to us iiimberton City School I a strict may well be included in the slate control of person nel, linance and facilities. If this happened, then we can applaud the efforts of the itolieson County Commissi oners for leading and guiding us u> a level of control which > will mandate equality of edu cational opportunity because local government could not and would not do so. As professional educators, we would like to extend an open invitation to Com missioner Taylor and any other professional experts he may wish to include to visit in the schools and classrooms in Itolieson County where we are conlidenl that quality teach ers ol all colors and in all schools will be observed and will measure up as equal to, if not heller, than those in the school district which is a model in the Commissioner's opinion. W e as educators have been insulted and our professional suuus has been injured at a. lime when the nation has called for the establishment of pride in the profession. But more importantly. Black, white and Indian children in Kobeson County have been rendered a racist blow by the public stance on governmen tal neglect and responsibility lor the education of this i ounty.

Francis Bacon Let's Support Jimmy Earl Cummings Case! lo ihe Editor: 1 want Ui lhank you and Connee llrayboy for your views on ihe Jimmy Earl Cummings case. As you and oihers know, there are many many questions that need to be answered. 1 went u> ihe meeting last Monday night at Fairgrove High hchool. 1 was impress ed. This is one case I do hope all Indians in Kobeson County will support. We are so bad at splitting up and fighting one another. We are our worst enemy, 'lhis is a case we must stand together on and support. 1 wonder how Chalmers Biggs and the rest of the elected officials feel today. I wonder how they can sleep at night with this on their conscience. Iion't they know they must face this again in this world or the hereafter? The Jimmy Earl (Jummings family is in need of financial support on this case. There are several fundraising events being planned. Let's support this case and remember no man is above the law. NO MAN. Cornell Lucklear 1'embruke, NC * Negative Thinking By Commissioners Are Deplorable & Immoral Conditions I here are conditions in Kulieson County brought ab out by negative thinking on the part of our Robeson County Commissioners. As I see it these conditions are deplorable and immoral. A lew years ago the Robe son County Commissioners allocated taxpayer monies to set up a drug buying opera tion in the Robeson County Sheriffs Department. 'the RCSD gained the ap proval of the county commis sioners for Sheriff Hubert Stone to hire two of his sons, Kevin and Keith Stone to the RCSD. This practice is called nepotism. As.l see it the most recent immoral act of the county commissioners was passing the buck on the much talked about merger of the five school systems in our county. 'Ihe county commis sioners were given tax reve nue which if properly admin istered would have opened the door to better education in our county. They chose ins tead to pay off $7 million for Robeson TechnicaFCollege indebtedness. Incidentally R'iC trains members of the RCSD in the performance of their official duties. Why do we accept this very poor example of professionalism in the schools of Robeson County".' Had the proper thought and action been placed on better education in our county per haps Jimmie Earl Cummings would be alive today. Kevin Stone, son of Sheriff Hubert Stone, buys drugs from drug pushers and everything per taining to the drug purchase is confiscated. This is a very lucrative set up. A small drug purchase could yield several thousand dollars in drugs and personal property, and cash. Kevin Stone and Burnis Wil kins held the keys to an undetermined amount of cash and drugs that disappeared lrorn the security of the RCS1). Our Robeson County Commissioners offered five thousand dollars reward for the arrest and conviction of the person or persons respon sible tor this sleight oi hand; trick. As I see it the county; commissioners should be re*; minded each day that drug; purchases, the practice oi; nepotism, the lack of expetr lence and training is respon sible for the slaying of Jimmifc Earl Cummings on November 1, 1986. In the hearsay evidence at the coroner-? inquest on November 13, 1986 it was reported that Kevin Stone threw a tantrum after killing Jimmie Earl Cum mings. This is proof of amateurish and juvenile be haviour. As 1 see it, the district attorney and the coroner put together a speedy coroner's inquest in the slaying of Jimmie Earl Cummings on November 1, 1986 by Kevin Stone, son of Sheriff Hubert Stone of our county. If the DA Joe Freeman Britt and his district attorney assistants will get off their duff and speedily clear the court calen day of misdemeanor cases and cease to hold suspects in jail in an attempts to get them to plead guilty, there soon would be plenty of room in the county jail and this would eliminate the cost of building a new jail as I see it. For the Robeson County Commission ers to consider a new jail above the need of better education for the six year old is immoral. Uur county needs more than a committee of 100 and a person to replace Max Kinlaw to bring industry into our midst. Five school systems in our county none of which is excellent because of preju dice. Prejudice compliments ignorance and they are not compatible with better educa lion.
