The Lawyer Assistance Program consists of two separate programs that provide confidential assistance to impaired lawyers. The PALS program (Positive Action for Lawyers) provides assistance to lawyers suffering from alcoholism, substance abuse, or other chemical addictions. The FRIENDS program is a new program of the State Bar. FRIENDS will assist lawyers who suffer from depression and other mental conditions that may impair the ability to practice law. See 27 NCAC 1D, Section .0600. PALS A full-time professional director who is a lawyer trained in the treatment of chemical dependency administers PALS. (The PALS director is also the director of the Lawyers Assistance Program.) However, lawyer volunteers who are themselves recovering alcoholics or drug users perform much of the intervention work of the PALS program. These volunteers have a deep and abiding concern about chemical dependency as a result of personal or professional experience. To be a PALS volunteer, a lawyer must participate a training program that includes instruction in protecting confidentiality and in the most effective ways to assist the chemically dependent lawyer.

December 2001 Volume 39 Number 6 Planting Seeds Family Enrichment Program: Serving Rural Immigrant Hispanic Families and Their Youth in Eastern North Carolina Ruben P. Viramontez Anguiano Assistant Professor Department of Child Development and Family Relations East Carolina University Greenville, North Carolina Internet Address: anguianor@mail.ecu.edu Introduction The United States Census has estimated a 394% increase in individuals of Hispanic descent residing in North Carolina (Associated Press, 2001). This population shift has been documented in the rural eastern regions of North Carolina. Similar to other ethnic populations, Hispanic families in Eastern North Carolina have participated in chain migration. After a family has found a geographic region to have an acceptable quality of life, extended family, fictive kin, and friends will also migrate. Historically, Eastern North Carolina has had a tobacco and seafood based economy. A population increase in several small cities has created additional labor opportunities in construction, restaurant, and other service industries. Involvement in local economies through ownership of small businesses and participation in the social, religious, and political processes have been pivotal for Hispanic families who were once considered a migrant population. This turning point has created a paradigm shift in understanding and serving rural Hispanic families in Eastern North Carolina. Helping professionals have struggled to serve Hispanic families in a culturally diverse rural region. A lack of resources and cultural knowledge has provided an opportunity for the development of family enrichment programs.

APF Reporter Vol.15 #4 Index Home Opportunity's Dance with One North Carolina Family Charlise Lyles Story in RTF Format Anthony Jenkins (at bottom) and friends at the ABC summer orientation in 1968. He later married Sondra Johnson, and ABC student from Wise, North Carolina. Eric Johnson at home in Wise, North Carolina It was 1968. Arnetra Johnson, a black woman raising four bright-eyed babies alone in a rural North Carolina trailer park, was holding fast to the dream just as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. had laid it out: black boys and white boys sitting side by side in the same classroom. She agreed: one day her children would attend the great integrated schools up north, far from the unenlightened, still segregated south. Didn't her youngsters deserve the finest institutions America had to offer? She listened closely for whispers, rumors, promises of opportunity that some said would come flowing from the blood of Dr. King and others who fell for civil rights. Church sermons prophesied it. Newspapers reported programs, acts of Congress. Then came tire letter from her well-educated brother-in-law in Atlanta. He had heard about a special program that sent smart black boys and girls like hers away to private schools-,'the best in the country," he wrote: For free. The program was called A Better Chance, Inc. (ABC). It was the benevolent brainchild of a visionary band of New England prep school headmasters. Since 1964, they gave scholarships to move smart black boys and girls out of city slums and dead-end towns like Wise, North Carolina into Andover, Choate, Phillips Academy and eventually, Ivy League colleges.

Aycock Jr. rests a museum of restored antique farm equipment. Three bright green Oliver tractors, a red butter churn, and an array of pulleys, Mason jars and other oddities are only a few of the treasures Aycock keeps on his 103-year-old farm. “Many of these tools and toys belonged to my grandfather,” Aycock said as he pointed out a wooden ironing board hanging in the barn’s rafters. “I like to restore antiques so that they can be appreciated and enjoyed for a while longer.” In order to preserve his land with the same pride he takes in preserving his antiques, last year Aycock registered his farm with the N.C. Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services’ Century Farm Family program. The program honors families who have had continuous ownership of a farm for at least 100 years by including the family name and farm history in an official registry. Farm owners receive a Century Farm sign for the property, and a celebration is held for the families every five years at the State Fair in Raleigh. The next celebration is slated for this year.
