Partners with youth receive grant
? " The North Carolina Conference
Council on Youth Ministries of the
, United Methodist Church has notified
Perquimans -Chowan Partners With
. Youth that it is the recipient of a
$660 00 grant from its Youth Services
Fund. Application for the grant was
made on the recommendation of Rev.
Henry A. Bizzell, Jr., pastor of the
Hertford United Methodist Church
and Rev. Ralph Epps, pastor of the
Edenton United Methodist Church.
The Partners With Youth program
works to alleviate the community
problem of juvenile delinquency in
* Perquimans and Chowan counties
* and in this regard, Pamela Line
? berger, associate director of the Con
ference Council, states "we are glad
? to offer assistance to the much
needed endeavors of your project",
.j Criteria used by the North Carolina
?i Conference Council on Youth Min
? is tries to determine grant recepients
| require that projects encourage con
j tinued positive social change, spiri
l tual growth, and community im
- provement and that they provide
meaningful service to the community
without embodying discrimination in
any way, shape or form. Projects
should work in cooperation with
other community projects, should
have low administrative costs and
since it would be receiving help from
a church group, it should in some
way exemplify the teachings of
Christianity.
While the criteria are quite strin
gent, Partners With Youth does fulfill
its conditions. The program, match
ing adult volunteers with court re
ferred youths, requires that these
volunteers be true role models, true
good examples who follow the policy
of "honesty is the only policy" rather
than that "honesty is the best pol
icy". Precisely because they are role
models, they must be matched
according to sex and race. Their
function is to develop a sharing-car
ing one-on-one relationship between
themselves and their youths - a
relationship which is of prime impor
tance in the work of all churches. The
'Volunteer's Prayer' expresses the
idea nicely:
O Lord,
I'm matched with someone I
don't know,
For a year (which seems like a
long time),
For 52 meeting dates (which
seems like a lot),
For over 200 hours (which seems
to be half my life),
And For What?
That my youth might do just a
little bit better at home, in school,
and in our community
Give me the patience and perse
verance to last the course and make
the difference so that in the long run,
a truly upright citizen shall come
forth to the glory of Your Name.
Amen

With Youth office is in the Old Court
house, King Street, Eden ton; phone

ing financially or as a volunteer, or
both, just contact the Executive Di
rector, Dr. Louis V. Nadeau.

The Postal Service announced the
cutback in retail window service
hours and a change in Sunday opera
tions in an effort to reduce operating
expenses. These adjustments result
form the Omnibus Budget Reconcil
iation Act, which mandates cuts in
postal operational spending of $430
million and 1815 million in capital
commitments during the next 20
months.
The Hertford Post Office will re
duce retail services hours an average
of 10 percent in low-usage periods
starting February 13, according to
D.C. Burch, Sr., Postmaster. How
ever, the move will not affect caller
service and parcel pick-up service at
those facilities.
Local adjustments mirror those
taking place nationwide as the Postal
Service strives to meet the budget re
quirements. Only one-third of the op
erational savings will come from
service that directly affects custom
ers. Two-thirds will come from inter
nal cutbacks in training, purchase of
supplies and services and other ad
ministrative expenses.
Of the operational adjustments
taking place locally, two will have
visible impact: The elimination of
mail collection and mail processing
on Sunday and the reduction in win
dow service hours.
To help customers deal with the re
duction in window service hours, sev
eral options have been introduced or
expanded during the past two years
to increase customer convenience:
lobby vending equipment, self -serv
ice postal units, Stamps by Mail,
Postal contract stations, expanded
hours at selected area facilities and
the stamps by consignment program,
which allows commercial retailers to
offer stamps at regular postal prices.
