Ronny Bed
Ronny Bell, a native of Pembroke, gave a presentation
on his doctoral research at the Sixth Annual Indian
; Health Service Research Conference in Tucson. Arizona
on April 20-22 His presentation, entitled "Dietary
Intake of Adult Lumbee Indian Women in Robeson
County. North Carolina" was selected among a number
of other research topics at the conference, which had as
its theme. "Putting Research to Work: Improving the
Health Status of Indian People in Their Communities."
" I would like to thank the Tribal Council for giving me
permission to present my research, and also to all the
participants in this research for their time and coopera
tion". Bell said. "This was a great experience for me, and
also for the Lumbee people Mine was the only presen
tation out of about SO on an eastern Indian tribe, so I'm
glad to have the opportunity to get the Lumbee name out
to people who might not be aware of our existence."
Ronny is presently working on a doctor of Philosophy
degree in Foods and Nutrition at the University of North
Carolina at Greensboro. He hopes to finish his degree by
the end of the year. He also hopes to publish the results
of his Lumbee Nutrition Study in national research
journals in the near future. 1
Pembroke Kiwanis Report
by Dr. Ken Johnson
The weekly meeting was held at the Town and Country
Restaurant with President Larry Chavts presiding Pro
gram chairman Henry Ward Oxendine. a member of
District Attomey'sOffice traced the steps a case follows
in the law system, all the way through to probation No.
I a crime happens, the sheriffs'*office is called, example:
A shot gun is stolen the officers visit the pawn shop, the
gun is found and the offender is identified by his license
He is read the "Moranda Rights", he may decide not to
ay anything.
Then the "doctnne of recent possessions" and the offi
cer takes out a warrant, the magistrate then sets the bond. 1
The bondsman charges a 15% as a fee Friends will beg
or steal it to get him out. He can't get bond so he is locked
up then comes his first appearance He is asked ifhe has
a lawyer if not the court appoints one. The judge advises
the defendant the defendant caa sign an unsecured bond
and he is back out then he must be indicted by people in
the community this is in the U.S. Constitution. The state
provides the grand jury the police officer provides the
evidence as indictments The grand jury must conclude
the true bill The district attorney's trffice prepares these
true bills so he is indicted then comes the anaingement.
He goes before the Superior Court Judge and is read the
charges then he pleads guilty or not guilty. Then he is put
on the calendar for trial. The DA has dus discretion then
a discovery process takes place. The defense is entitled
to anything he says. A change of venure can take place
and a aew trial is set up. Each side caa reject six jurors
Racial bias is not allowed the supreme court rules The
Supreme Court says if the defense lawyer changes clos
ing arguments the judge changes juries And the court ot
appeals supports the right of appeal it takes a year for
nial
