World of Poetry Silver Poet Award

Flora Casimiro of Indianapolis is the recipient of the World of Poetry’s Silver Poet Award. Mrs. Casimiro received the award last August at the World of Poetry conference in Orlando. Fla. A graduate of Indianapolis Public School No. 42 and the old Crispus Attucks High School, Mrs. Casimiro says she has wanted to write poetry for “as long as I r . clM1DO can remember.” CASIMIRO There is, she adds, a certain magic and beauty in the communication of poetry. “Poetry is really telling a story,” she explained. “You’re relaying a message.” Mrs. Casimiro says she hopes to publish her poetry sometime in the future. Mrs. Casimiro, who retired on medical disability from the Fort Benjamin Harrison Finance Center

in 1978, lists local poet Wendell Parker and Helen Steiner Rice as her two favorites. She says Parker’s poem, “My Mother,” is her favorite poem, and describes Rice as “a beautiful poet” and “one of the greatest poets in the country.” Mrs. Casimiro’s husband is deceased. She has two children, both of whom live in the city: daughter Charna, who is employed in the Richard Roudebush West 10th Street Veterans Hospital, and son Arturo, who works for the Department of Transportation. Mrs. Casimiro last year won the World of Poetry’s Golden Poet Award.

The thrill of a lifetime comes only once. And so it is: my big thrill came last Wednesday, when I had lunch with my granddaughter, Denidra Carter, at her school, the Robey Elementary School, in Germont, Ind. It was Grandparents’ Week, during which grandparents were provided the opportunity to visit the school and see the children’s work, and lunch with them as well. Boy, did 1 ever enjoy that trip. Mary Murphy, my granddaughter's teacher, said the children were overwhelmed by the affair. I know all the grandparents who attended, including me, felt the same: simply overwhelmed. I would think other schools might consider a similar project for grandparents. This one was a raging

The Indianapolis Police Department has developed a video cassette aimed at reducing the use of deadly force by officers. The 12-minute cassette contains remarks from Police Chief Paul Annee and Deputy Chief of Operations James Campbell, along with a detailed explanation of IPD’s General Order 30.00 concerning the use of deadly force by city Police Legal Advisor Christopher Seigel. The video has been reviewed at IPD roll call sites, the Police Training Academy and Police Headquarters for the past two weeks, according to police officials. Numerous training videos are being developed throughout the department in all areas of law en-

forcement, the officials said. They said the videos will be available on an as-needed basis. Annee said officers also are being instructed in the use of CS repellent, which he says gives officers in potentially dangerous situations an option to deadly force. “The better the officer is trained and the more options given him, the less likely it will be that he will have to resort to deadly force,” Annee said. Polo-Ralph Lauren showing to benefit Lung Association invitations have been issued to a champagne showing of Polo/Ralph Lauren holiday and cruisewear fashions to benefit the research efforts and services of the American Lung Association of Central Indiana.

success. *•* The Swami has spoken. This week he makes this prediction in the Indiana race for the U.S. Senate: incumbent Dan Quayle will put a sound whipping on Democratic challenger Jill Long. The Swami says Long is only a political pawn for the Democrats. Once again you have State Chairman John Livengood using nice people. Robert Bowen, son of former Gov. Otis Bowen, will defeat Evan Bayh, a very nice man and loyal Democrat. But the margin of victory will not be as large as some have predicted. It could be a lot closer than you might imagine. **# Even with his financial support and strong Republican backing, Jim Eynon will go down to defeat at the hands of incumbent Andy Jacobs Jr., who still enjoys support from many Republicans. Name recognition will play a big part in this one. I agree with the Swami here. *** In one of the most hotlycontested clerk races in recent years, the Swami sees Faye Mowery easing by popular Democratic Sheriff Jim Wells. Mowery’s finances will be of great help, along with her association in the black community with HulalorCurrence. 1 disagree with the Swami’s pick, and will go with Wells. *** In the race for Center Township trustee the Swami sees the Democratic Central Committee’s Bill Smith getting by Hulalor Currence in a race which may not be so close. I’ll remain neutral in this one. *♦* In the race for stale auditor the Swami sees incumbent Democrat Otis Cox defeated by challenger Ann Devore, who will be assisted by a strong statewide Republican sweep. I agree. *** In the race for Center Township small claims, the Swami predicts incumbent John Hesseldenz easily disposing of young Attorney Timothy Bookwalter. The Swami •gives Bookwalter a pat on the back, and says, "nice try”; he believes the young lawyer in the future will develop into a strong candidate. *•* Even with all the controversy surrounding his name, the Swami says incumbent Republican Prosecutor Stephen Goldsmith will remain just that—the unbeatable incumbent. In fact, he will in coming years win whatever office he seeks See TIME FOR, Page 19

at local church Christ Missionary Baptist Church, 1001 Eugene, will be the site of a Democratic mass rally Sunday, Nov. 2, beginning at 8 p.m., it was announced this week. Dr. Melvin B. Girton, church pastor and treasurer of the Minister Political Action Committee, said the purpose of the rally, which will feature nearly all of the Democratic candidates in next Tuesday’s election, is to urge all black Democrats to get out and vote. The committee, headed by Dr. Stacey R. Shields, pastor of Pilgrim Baptist Church, last week charged another group of ministers who had endorsed two Republican candidates with tearing down civil rights gains by telling voters to vote for the GOP trustee candidate “or stay home.” Members of the Interdenominational Ministerial Alliance had previously announced support of Hulala Currence, the Republican candidate for Center Township Trustee, and Faye I. Mowery, GOP candidate for County Clerk. The alliance charged it was riled by the naming of William Smith, former Broad Ripple High School basketball coach, to be the trustee

candidate by the Marion County Democratic Committee instead Of Atty. Charles A. Walton, who is currently serving out the term of Dr. Benjamin O. Osborne, who died ha office. “We’ve got to vote,” said Dr. Girton. “Too many have died for the right to vote and here we (members of the alliance) are telling people not to vote. The party seems all mixed up and we’ve got to straighten it out. We are urgiiig everyone to come out and vote. We’re trying to get people to be loyal to the party.” Atty. Yvonne Watkins will introduce the candidates, which will include Smith. County chairman Providence Benedict will also be on hand.
