With Handicapped Students
Writer Lauds Youth Center Men's Work
In recent issues of The News
Journal, we have read about in
mates working with the handicapp
ed children in our county.
Fortunately, I have had an
opportunity to work with some of
the S.W.A.P. members from Sand
hills Youth Center. I have been so
enthusiastic to see the capabilities
of these young men. It did not take
long to realize the special talents of
KSMi* it
these young men in the work they
do with the children.
David Bennet is a 20-year-old
Winston-Salem man working with
the multihandicapped class at Up
church Junior High School. As I
observed his working with the
children r I saw an exceptional
young man with special talents.
As we all know, it takes special
people with special abilities to work
with handicapped children.
Bennet is due for parole from the
Sandhills Youth Center at McCain
soon. I asked Bennet, "What do
you plan to do when you go home?"
Unfortunately, Bennet has not
committed himself to anything
definite yet. Whatever decisions he
makes, the experience that he has
received" while working at Up
church will play an important role
for his future.

Pembroke Man Slain At Hoke Club
A Pembroke man was killed
about midnight Sunday in Brady's
Club on N.C. 211 east at the
Robeson County line, and two men
were being held on charges of
murder in the death, Hoke County
Sheriff David Barrington reported
this week.
He said the victim was Terry
Wayne Locklear of Pembroke.
Locklear would have been 26 on
May 15. He had been shot in the
back in the club and was lying face
up at the club entrance when
officers arrived.
Held on first-degree murder
charges were Perry Wayne Lowery,
25, and Lacy Dewayne Lowery. 22.
both of Pembroke, the sheriff said.
Barrington said Perry Lowery is
charged with the shooting and Lacy
Lowery (no relation to Perry) was
charged for allegedly being an
accessory.
He said Perry Lowery's brother.
Herbert Lowery. Jr., of Pembroke
was charged with interfering with
and obstructing an officer during
the investigation of the killing.
Jeffery Strickland was charged with
carrying a concealed weapon at the
club but the charge is not related to

NAACPTo Meet
The NAACP will meet at 7:30
p.m. Thursday in the Masonic
Hall.
All interested people are asked to
attend.
21 1 -year-old from Charlotte. Carver
will be leaving in May. When I
spoke to Mrs. Gwen Reeves she
said, "Mr. Carver will be missed at
the school, but the foundations he
helped build will be there a long
time."
When I had the privilege of
working with him and his group, I
saw a patient and understanding,
person. A person that looks
beyond the human needs and sees
the educational needs for our
children. A person that is and
always will be a good father. A
person that will go far in life. I'm
sure.
David Bennet along with Woody
Carver have met the requirements
that were needed to be selected for
the rehabilitation program. "They
have shown remarkable progress,"
says Mrs. Reeves, their supervising
teacher.
Mrs. Reeves, an excellent Special
Educator comments, "when they
leave I definitely want some more
guys exactly like them.
"They will always come up with
ideas on how to make life a little
easier for the children.
"Once you have seen these guys
at work you will see why I wonder
how I got along without them."
"By having the guys from Sand
hills Youth Center here, it gives us
more time to work with each child
individually."
There are so many levels of
children that need special atten
tion, it would be almost impossible
fox l^em to get U).e attention, that
they need in each area without the
help of aides.
While I was visiting at Upchurch
I could easily sense that these
special guys are very much appreci
ated. The children respect them
and that really helps to educate the
children. These guys are never too
busy to say. "Very good, Candy,"
or "We'll get it right next time, old
Buddy." The encouragement the
children receive from these guys is
tremendous.
I had the privilege of watching
the children practice for Special
Olympics to be held May 13.
Tasks that seemed relatively
simple for people that are not
physically handicapped, were com
plicated and hard work for these
youngsters, but the help and
encouragement these children re
ceived trom the S.W.A.P. members
filled their hearts with joy. I saw
smiles from ear to ear and almost
tear-filled eyes, when a .difficult
task was accomplished.
The reinforcement these children
receive helps to build confidence in
whatever they will try to do.
Reinforcements such as a big
hug from David and a smile or a
pat on the back from Woody or
Andy, when he would say, "Go
ahead, champ, you can do it."
Mrs. Reeves has two full time
aides, Vickie Wright and Andy
Suggs, former inmates at Sandhills
Youth Center, who are doing
remarkable work in the classroom.
The S.W.A.P. program is spe
cially designed to fill the needs of so
many people. The S.W.A.P. team
helps the teacher with the children,
the children get the attention that
they deserve, and the S.W.A.P.
program helps the members to
learn new and challenging skills.
Also, it helps the members to
develop socially.
The S.W.A.P. program facilita
tors and the schools are organiza
tions working together to form a
more suitable environment for our
exceptional children.
