I'M. Victoria Bender Attorney for Plaintiff March 3. 10. 17. 14. I'M Partly became of the big tax law change In 1986, mil* lions of Americana can easily overlook key deductions or take, deductions by mistake. Here are some of the highlights of the Tax Reform Act of 1986 and how they may affect your tax picture: e Dividend Income. The dividend exclusion of 9100 ($200 on a joint return) has been repealed. All ordinary dividends will now be Ailly i taxable. e Health Insurance. If you're self-employed, you may deduct 26 percent of amounts paid for health in surance covering yourself, your spouse, and your depen dents. e Interest Expense. In a boon to homeowners, Congress has spared the home mort gage interest deduction. In terest payments on your prin cipal residence and an a second home you personally used during the year are deducti ble. • The deduction for state and local salea tax has been repealed. According to Mary L. Sprouse, author of “Sprouse's Income Tax Handbook 1988" Travel may be a learninj experience, but If it's doiu solely for its educations value, the cost la no longs deductible. (Penguin Books), the new law benefits large families ovei ■ mall, homeowners ovei renters, the self-employee over employees. It favori lower and upper income groups at the expense of the middle class, and side! with one-eamer couples ovei those where both spousee work. Ms. Sprouse, whose handbook for preparing 198' returns has been rated ae “Grade A, at the top of the heap’ by Money Magazine, ie a tax attorney and a formei IRS Audit Manager. Man] have found Sprouse’s Income Tax Handbook helpful noi only in preparing their owi taxes but also in making fi nancial decisions throughoui the year.

You may be one of them—and not know it. Nearly half the people who have the disease aren’t aware of it. The life-threatening complications of diabetes— blindness, heart disease and stroke, kidney disease and amputations—may br less likely with prompt and proper diagnosis and treatment. The annual cost to the nation is more than $14 billion. A day has been set aside to alert Americans to the danger of diabetes—and the hopes for ita victims. The Alert takes place on Tuesday, March IS, 1988. That day, the American Diabetes Association will ofTer Americans a self-test to help identify risk. According to the experts, symptoms to watch for are: ■ excessive thirst, frequent urination, extreme fatigue, unexplained weight loss and occasional blurry vision. If • you’re over 40 or overweight SPORTS SHOUTS If the 1988 Summer Olym pic* were held tomorrow, Seoul would be ready. All the stadiums and sports facilities have been in place since the 1986 Asian Games, and the people are ready and eager to greet the world’s greatest athletes. The excitement has even hit the “hodoris” (taxi cabs) which all sport decals of a Tiger, the mascot of the 1988 Summer Olympics. The 1988 Olympics could bt the greatest Olympiad ever. Visa, one of the mtyor corpo rate sponsors of the U.S. Olympic Team, has enlisted the support of more than 18,000 banks around the country in a campaign it calls “Pull for the Team.” Many in dividuals have contributed as well, and can still do so by call ing the toll-free telephone number, 1-800-VISA-USA. March 15.19M: a day to deal with tha throat of diabatas. you may also be at risk. Other risk factors include giving birth to more than one baby over nine pounds, a parent or sibling with diabetes, and being of Hispanic, Black or Native American descent. If you have any reason to suspect you have diabetes, you can call a special 900 number on March 15, 1-900 650-TEST. Those who score high on the test or have strong reason to suspect they have the disease can call 1 900-650-RISK Each call costs a dollar, half of which goes to the diabetes research and education effort. ™«6LOPIWa EgQNOiHK AND KULITICAL IN SOUTHERN AFRICA Awards Student Aid Grant Bishop L. fisher, Resident of the Coalition on Southern Africa announced today the award of $3,200.00 student aid grant to Mr. Pylan Grewan, a black South African student at Norfolk State University, Norfolk, Va. In annffiiKing thf grant, Bishop Fisher stated, "Mr. Grewan is only one exam ple of the hard ships imposed on black South Africans by the disinvestment of US com panies in South Africa. Those who have advocated and en couraged US companies to leave South Africa have failed to take into account the tre mendous human suffering that has resulted.’ Mr. Grewan, whose family lives in Johannesburg, South Africa, is a sophomore studying wainesa management. He had Men living and studying in the United States under a grant provided by Citibank, South Africa, where hit father had worked for several yean. With Citibank's disinvestment last year, Mr. Grewann was noti fled that his financial support would not be continued. Determined to continue his education in America, he ap pealed to the Coalition for help. In his letter to the Coal ition he stated, "In the past Citibank, South Africa, was generous enough to sponsor me here in America, but with ntflefiyi recant disinvestment out at i.A., myselt like many other black South Africaaa got a chance to aae how blank our future look* without tka aid of the American Cam pany.* For Mr. Grewan his educa tion is his top priority. He says, “For me to return te South Africa without a degree, I don’t feel I could make a positive contribution to the dismantling of the system af Apartheid. With a valid edu cation gained here in Amer ica, my role as a black South African citisen could become much more influential in my search for freedom and equal ity. Without the help of the Coalition I would be unable to continue my education.* The Coalition on Southern • Africa wot formed July, 1987 by a group of concerned clergy, tducotore and bueineee lead tre in order to determine the economic and educational em powerment needs of the majority population and to find the re lourcee to addrcm thorn need*. The first ship to pass through the Panama Canal was the Alex Lavalley on January 7, 1914. WORD FROM * _WASHINGTON During 1985, 2,700 Amer icans were arrested in 96 foreign countries. Of these, close to 1,160 ended up in jails abroad because they assumed they couldn’t get “busted” for drugs. If you are arrested abroad on a drug charge, the Amer ican consular officer CAN NOT get you out of jail nor pay your legal fees. All he can do is visit you, give you a list of local attorneys, notify your family, and try to make sure that your rights are respected under local law. Drug laws in most coun tries are as stiff or stiffer than those in the U.S., and once you leave this country you are no longer protected by our laws and constitutional rights. Anyone caught with even a small quantity for per sonal use may receive the same sentence as a large traf ficker, because foreign drug laws often make no distinc tion between hard and soft drugs, or quantity. Of all Americans arrested abroad on drug charges in 1985 marijuana was involved.in 62 percent of the cases. Sixty four percent of those arrested on marijuana and cocaine charges, had in their posses sion less than one ounce of the substance. If you’re caught you may be faced with: ! 1 • Interrogation and de lays before trial, mistreat ment, solitary confinement for up to one year in primitive conditions. • Lengthy trials in a for eign language. • Two years to life in prison, hard labor and heavy fines, if found guilty. • Death penalty in a growing number of countries.

It is your responsibility to know what the drug laws are in a foreign country. Think of the frightening consequences if you don’t. cWonderful World Of Tomoi A Crossroads For Tobacco And Haalthcara John D Chaffee, Executive Director, ‘ Pitt County (North Carolina) Development Commission: Controversial no-smoking laws now being adopted through out the U.S. are intended to improve personal health. But there’s likely to be a negative economic impact beyond cig arette manufacturers—from ■ retail smoke I shops across the country Kjt tobacco growers. In Pitt Coun ■ ty. North Caro lina—historical M ly the nation's largest producer of bright-leaf tobacco—we've taken steps to create a diverse economy. Al though tobacco and other ag ricultural products are vital contributors to our economy, Pitt County is riding the booming 9460 billion health care market. The area is emerging as a major health care services and pharmaceutical production center in eastern North Carolina. Today, healthcare-related businesses employ over 7,600 people-one out of every seven workers in Pitt County. 1 Strategically positioned no more than 600 miles from 60% of the country’s entire population, Pitt County has mapped out new job-creating 1) opportunities. Since 1983, r nearly 80 companies have in , vested some $80 million in , new industrial operations, while creating 900 new jobs. Also, 26 existing industries 4 have spent about $60 million i- in plant expansion and added • 1000 jobs. Leading the wave of ex I panding firms is Burroughs Wellcome (BW), the giant pharmaceutical firm. BW, maker of the country’s only AIDS-fighting drug (AZT), is located in our 2400-acre in dustrial park. Since coming to Greenville, N.C. (the county seat) in the early 1970s, BW has more than tripled in sire to its present level of 1600 plus employees. Advanced technology also dominates at Pitt Memorial Hospital (a regional health care facility pioneering in organ transplants) and East Carolina University's distin guished medical school. These institutions employ mote than 4000 persons. A new bio-technology facil ity is under construction at Pitt County’s 2000-acre East Carolina Medical Park—the nation’s first planned, mixed use reserve for healthcare de livery, research and develop ment, medical manufacturing and support services. The park is a coordinated effort of city, county, university, hos pital and other healthcare in dustry officials who recogniu the need to preserve a high quality environment for cur rent and fiiture park oc cupants. While medical technolog) is expected to play an impor tant role in the future, Pit County is also committed t< diversifying its agriculture base. In 1987, Mid-Atlantii Fish Farms opened Nortl Carolina’s first catfish pro cessing plant here. Also, thii spring, Weyerhaeuser—th forest-products leader—wi! break ground for a multi-mi] lion dollar plant in PtttCannty. ft. e x X il it i i d h l •Resume's •Handbills ‘Flyers •Recipes *Church Groups •Term Papers ‘Proposals With plain and fancy borders * Computer Designed A Call Today 833-3874 , VIEWPOINTS ' (Continued from page 4) more than its share of AIDS cases, the specter of widespread infection already loomed large on the horizon. The economic anemia the black community has alwaye 1 suffered also has contributed. The flourishing drug tragi has provided the AIDS virus with interlinked avenues of infection, via prostitution—by both women and bisexual men financing drug habits—and via the hopelessness of * unemployed high school dropouts and ex-prison inmates. Because of the tendency to share needles, the rate of AIDS cases related to drug use has been recorded as being over twenty times higher nationally for blacks than for whites. And 35 percent of all known black AIDS cases 1 were the direct result of intravenous drug use-versus sis percent for whites. If the primary factor in the spread of AIDS among whites is sex, for blacks it’s drugs. Another dubious distinction of the black community is that over 65 percent of all women in North Carolina with AIDS are black, and that, nationally, black women are 13 times more likely to contract the virus and pass it on to their babies. Accordingly, 60 percent of known AIDS pediatrics cases are black, and such cases are often fatal. The AIDS virus as a result has carved out a vicious cycle: infected babies born to black women who are , intravenous drug users or have sexual partners who are intravenous drug users. Television producer/journalist Tony Brown said, “Get rid of drugs in the black community and you’ll get rid of AIDS.” Drugs are certainly not the whole picture—tbs largest number of black AIDS victims still an gay/bisexual men who don’t use drugs. But because drug use is a larger problem proportionately for blacks than whites, blacks have to address drugs in order to get at i AIDS. And blacks have to do it soon. AIDS has already caused 248 deaths in North Carolina since 1981. While the number of blacks who have died from AIDS in North Carolina la not kmwn, it is safe to assume that blacks have died la numbers far out of proportion to their share of the population. An appropriate response, focusing on education for .hose who do not have AIDS, and care for those who do, could best be disseminated by community-based organizations. The support of the black clergy is key; so is that of black political and business leaders. Black media could be circulating more information; black churches could be providiong outreach for AIDS victims; black teens could be receiving peer training. The larger community—black and white—meanwhile, could be assisting by halting legislation-like mandatory testing and quarantining—that would restrict civil rights for AIDS victims of all races. But first, those sll-important community-based ., disseminators of information must understand the tragedy among in, must put aside their prejudices against homosexuals and perceive the links between AIDS and drug abuse, teen pregaaancy and other problems epidemic in the black community. 1 Only then can blacks in North Carolina unite to protect against new forms of social and economic descriminatioe in the guise of public health policy. Only then can blacks own” the AIDS problem within our communities’ borders, neither wainting for, nor allowing, others to decide who lives., .and who dies.
