War can be about many things Economics. Politics. Ideology. Religion. clc With Religion usually being used to reinforce The others "Good against EmI" Of course a war never been fought when God wasn't on both sides. Combat involves basically four things Blood. Mutilation. Death, and Misery Combat differs from war in that it takes place in an environment unique into itself. An environment in w hich all the words and phrases spewed forth so easily by the Old Men who start the wars, assume their truest and most profound meaning You know the words. Honor. Duty. Courage, and Sacnfice You know the phrases. Americas Prestige and Honor is at stake. Stay the Course. America can t Cut and Run Freedom is on the march1 In the arena of Death, w hich is w here combat takes place, (he phrases arc useless The words however. Honor. Duty, Courage, and Sacrifice, mean everything. Is it Honorable to fight beside your brother warriors even into death? You bet it! Is it doing your Duty to advance into cneinv fire and keep advancing with men being wounded and killed, in order to achieve your combat mission? You bet it is! Is it courageous for a Navy Corpsman to move through enemy fire to help a wounded Marine7 Damn right it is! If the Corpsman is killed making the attempt, was it worth the Sacrifice? If die Corpsman could speak lie would say, "It was my Duty and that Manne was my brother" _ Is it truly Courageous to do these things? Yes, because no one who lias riot been in combat, that unique arena of death, can imagine the courage required to do these things. Not just once, but day afterday, month after month until your duty is done That is why Combat is unique. Combat is about life and death.

(Active irgfedieri FDA approved)| We Didn't Just Fall off thei Turnip Truck by Vinita Cookie' Clark Hi there everyone and thanks for climbing with me for a nde on my turnip truck once again For all of those who took the time to say "hello" the other day when 1 was eating lur.ch at Shelf's and shared their positive comments 1 would like to say a special "Thank You " Especially, Mrs Maggie Oxendine who resides on Pine Street. She reminded me of the tune which my father bricked her home and how she always thought alot of "Chase ." So. you be sure to smile Miss Maggie at least one time for ine In this world, everyone is entitled to their own opinion It is like a mouth, everybody has one and it is what you do with it which makes a difference in your life and the ones you love My Meeting at the LRDA With this in mind let mc tell you of my recent meeting with the LRDA Executive Director Dewey Locklear First of all. he let me know that my turnip truck is a "powerful column " 1 am the kind of person, if I can make one person think, or one person stop the way they are being treated by say ing "no more " I can say "1 have done my job " Locklear told ine 1 was "inisinfortned about Tunlerision and the LRDA Fall Pow Wow " He stated tltal he Itad tried to contact tjic Turtlevision staff and couldn't. So, he had to book someone else and the day after he had booked the other person was when Turtlevision came in and said they would do the Fall Pow Wow. I respect his decision and who knows there might be more people attending due to a new group being in charge. Sometimes, everyone needs a "fresh breath of air" I did inform Locklear there were alot of people "upset w ith him ." And he did ask "why?" I don't know who is doing the publicity on this Pow Wow but the LRDA has offended many of the dancers and drum groups by calling them "performers " Which only goes to show that whoever does the Public Service Announements doesn't know the first thing about drumming or dancing. Do you think they know what to do if an eagle feather comes off pf a piece of regallia and hits the ground during a dance? Do they know how to honor the feather by taking it out of the circle? If they don't know then they better learn "fast" Both drumming and dancing are a form of art. There are traditional dancing, fancy dancing, sha w dancing and others. The dancers dance to honor our veterans and elders, the seasons, the hunt and other occasions. They wear various outfits like the jingle dancers. Each song which is performed with a drum has a special meaning. The songs come from their hearts and are not meant to be performed like a Broadway play. I can't blame anybody for how they feel But, you can call and let the LRDA know how you feel about this situation. The Lu/ttbee Tribe Television Show Once again, we see Tribal Chairman Jimmy Goins and Tribal Administrator Leon Jacobs appear on our local yard sale television station. Where are their PR people and why is there no Director? Many people can't get Brother Billy because they have CABLE and cari rarely catch this station. We have been informed that people who are accomplished in the field of journalism and television production such as James Locklear and Tasha Oxendine have been requested to come and help shape the LTC Public Relations Department. Was I right? Did they hire these people "just to make them look good" and the boat they are in is sinking?" While they are paying over $60,000 a year for someone who can't create a newsletter. I mean did they fall off of the turnip truck or what? All they have ever had to do was come and ask the staff of the Carolina Indian Voice This is as bad as the stenographer which the LTC has hired and paid and no one has seen any minutes from any tribal meeting since August. It is rumored that the stenographer is. now giving piano lessons here in Pembroke. Here is my suggestion to those involved in this Go out to the UN CP television station and get them to produce you a 30 to 60 minute show. They give you "continous play" and it will not be on at 9 :30 pm every night when the yard sale television show goes off the air. Everytime we see our Tribal Chairman on television he looks like he is wearing the exact same outfit On their latest filming which had "Lumbee Tribal Council Members" on the bottom of the screen. It had the office number but, there was no one at the office to reach if they were to call. The ladies had on so many tops that "glittered" you almost couldn't see their faces. Now, folks why would people listen to anyone who looks like they wear the same outfits (this is when they change the channel thinking they have already seen it before). Or, the Tribal Council members give the "visual impression" (and you are judged by the clothes that you wear in front of the camera) that they have alot of money and therefore don't have the time to listen to the people. If there is anyone there who knows about film and televison (and no we don't mean pageants) they can help you. One of your PR persons could be the moderator and ask the questions which many are asking. For instance here are some of the questions. (1.) If the Lumbees get Federal Recognition, does that mean we no longer have to pay any kind of taxes? (Federal, Property and Personal Taxes).

That's Why They Rely On The Rehabilitation Care At Scotland Memorial. Charlie Buie and Jimmy Morgan are businessmen who've spcnl years making good decisions thai have helped them build successful companies. When each learned they needed joint replacement surgery, they made the decision to have their surgeries at Scotland Memorial and their rehabilitation care at the hospital's Center For Inpatient Rehabilitation. "I've had two hip replacements at Scotland Memorial followed by inpatient rehabilitation." says Charlie Buie. president of Charles Craft, a local textile company. "The surgical and rehabilitation teams were first class. 1 was up and around and learning to adapt to my new hip within a few days. This high level of rehabilitation helped me feel confident about leaving the hospital and returning to work and activities safely." For Laurel Hill businessman and band leader Jimmy Morgan, getting his strength back after joint replacement was important. "The inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation care at Scotland Memorial is outstanding." he says. "The professionalism of the staff was exceptional. Although I could have go'ne anywhere for care. I am glad I chose Scotland Memorial because they have the expertise I needed. In fact. I am now using the pool and other outpatient therapies to help relieve an arthritic condition." The Center For Inpatient Rehabilitation is a specialized program for hospitalized patients recovering from orthopaedic surgery, stroke or neurological disorders and injuries.
