By Chronicle Staff and Wire Reports There weren't many dry eyes in the house at the Omni Coliseum in Atlanta Tuesday night as the long- awaited' speech of presidential can didate Jesse Jackson was being delivered. In vintage Jackson style, the charismatic leader of the "Rain bow Coalition" called for party unity, an end to human suffering and a commitment to peace. His speech, which lasted 50 minutes, was interrupted about every 60 seconds with applause as he offered words of encouragement to AIDS victims, youth, women, gays and lesbians, blacks and his- panics, and students. Tears streamed down ihe faces of delegates holding red placards in support of Jackson as he spoke poignantly of his humble begin nings. But, despite pre-convention tension between the Jackson and the Dukakis camps over the manner in which Dukakis selected Sen. Lloyd Bentsen of Texas to be his running mate, it was clear Tuesday night that Jackson's intentions were to heal wounds and to have a uni fied front. Jackson promised Wednesday to endorse Dukakis and to cam paign enthusiastically in the fall election, although he still sought the convention's nomination Wednes day night. Dukakis has promised Jackson a substantial role in the fall Please see page A9 ^ , 1 ■ ^ - m m Mm - '1 : .T - '5; Family care home in jeopardy photo by Mike Cunningham spite financial odds, Rasheeda Id-Deen pledges to fight to keep family home care service. 'hild abuse easy to detect orne victims develop severe personality disorders as adults SfVALERIE ROBACK GREGG [OgLcle Staff Wr-tt,>r By VALERIE ROBACK GREGG Chronicle Staff Writer Rasheeda Id-Deen has searched for more than a year for ways to pay off the $32,000 debt her family care home has accumulated over the past nine years. Now in federal bankruptcy court, with Wachovia threatening to foreclose on the East Winston Rasheeda's Family Care Home located on First Street, Id- Deen went to the city Board of Aldermen as a last resort Monday night. Aldermen Vivian H. Burke and Patrick Hairston took her aside, however, and told her to come bet ter prepared to the next Board of Aldermen meeting in two weeks. "I felt good about it," Id-Deen said Tuesday. "Divine intervention has already taken place for anyone to even consider my situation.” If she can't come up with the money by July 31, the house will be sold to pay pan of the debt, and Id- Deen and the five elderly women she cares for will be forced to leave. Id-Deen, however, refuses to give up and still hopes to expand her facility to 40 beds. She has the plans, the desire, the dedication and the managerial skill to pull it off, she says, if someone can help pay her debts. "Wachovia said they own the house, and I have to make them an offer around $30,000," Id-Deen said. "I would turn the deed over to someone who would buy the house and let us continue. Thai's what I’m looking for... Or a partner in the business." Rasheeda's Family Care Home is clean, comfortable, and lived in. The sterile disinfectant smell per meating most nursing homes and hospitals is noticeably absent here, and so is the sometimes impersonal u-eatment of residents. Id-Deen encourages and sup ports the care home residents in their struggle to live the tail end of life with dignity. "I keep their desire and motivation intact," she said. ' So in addition to the challenge of keeping a small business afloat, Id-Deen is faced with the responsi bility of caring for elderly and physically and mentally handi capped residents.

The area of East Winston where the once ramshackle game- room sits has long been plagued by a cycle of crime and degeneration, but may soon be restored thanks to city police and dedicated residents, Newell said as chairman of the Best Choice Task Force, a community group working to restore the area. Last year, the East Winston Restoration Association and the Best Choice Task Force decided to focus on the 14th Street area and provide a more wholesome atmo- Sphere for residents. The Winston- Salem Urban League and the city Chapter of Links, Inc. have volun teered their support and technical assistance. The Best Choice Task Force is concentrating specifically on reno vating the old pool hall and con verting it into a service center for the treatment and prevention of drug abuse.
