According to a complaint filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina, Langley Construction Co. violated Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 when it discharged four black employees ostensibly for performance pro blems while retaining white employees with similar perfor mance deficiencies. CRIME (Continued from page 1) three neighbors -declined to pro secute. Another of Powell’s neighbors cap tured the dogs and held them for Powell. Powell’s attorney, Phillips. Banks, III, filed a request Monday to over turn the involuntary manslaughter conviction or to grant a new trial. A hearing on that request is expected to;> be held later this month. PRISONS (Continued from page 1) turning down community-based punishments, such as Electronic? House Arrest and the DWI Parole Treatment Facility, in favor of what they know will be a shorter stint in prison. The effect has been a Norths Carolina crime rate that is ristEg!' three times faster than that of the rest of the nation. That does not even begin to take into account the costs in terms of financial losses and in human misery. It is true that North Carolina has a variety of major issues confronting it: education, the environment and economic development. But is not public safety, itself, a basic right? What good are the best schools if our children are constantly confronted with violent gangs and drug pushers? How can we enjoy the benefits of a' clean environment if the deterior ating social environment traps us within our homes out of the fear of be ing robbed and assaulted? What kind of economic prosperity can we enjoy if we allow robbers and thieves to drive up the cost of doing business? If North Carolina doesn’t expand its prison system for the first time in nearly two decades, we may find that our law-abiding citizens are forced to become prisoners within their own homes. Is this the kind of legacy we want to leave our children? That is why we must expand our prison system. That is why I ask North Carolinians to vote in favor of prison construction bonds on Nov. 6. *t7*r NAACP (Continued from page 1) by the Raleigh City Council on Sept. 18, 1990.

Kron said that Gantt drew 81 per cent favorable vote of at least 88 per cent of those members voting. Referring to Heims’ voting record as the “worst in the U.S. Senate on the environment,” spokesman John Runkle of the LCV said, “Harvey Gantt is the clear choice; he is the clean choice; he is the green choice.” Sierra Club spokesman Bill Holman said Environmentalists for Gantt are setting up an 80-person statewide steering committee to make telephone calls to solicit votes and contributions for Gantt. “We appreciate his inclusive record in politics,” Holman said, referring to Gantt as an architect and builder. “Harvey Gantt has shown us he can run a business and campaign that emphasizes and protects the en vironment.” Gantt Mid he decided to oppose the incinerator project after two visits with opponents of proposed sites in Granville County and the Rowan Iredell County areas and after receiv ing from Gov. Martin information about the proposed incinerator and the process involved in siting it. "I appreciate his willingness to answer and to share with me his basis for the decisions he has made and the rationale for the incinerator. I was not, however, Mtisfied,” Gantt said. “Today, I want to formally go on record in opposition to siting a regional waste incinerator in North Carolina and would recommend to Gov. Martin and the commission that we go back to the beginning and start over.” Among the factors he Mid led him to oppose the incinerator were: • “I was not convinced that there was a clear understanding of the potential impactd on human health or the environment;” • “I was not certain that we had sufficiently evaluated the long-term health effects for many unknown pollutants;” • “I was not convinced that we had sufficiently trained environmental professionals to monitor and regulate a major regional incinerator.” MS.
