Description
An account of the resource
<h4>Biographical/Historical Note</h4>
<p>Ellis Zaytoun was born in Hammana, Lebanon on May 30, 1890. He immigrated to the United States in 1906 along with two of his brothers and by 1910 had moved to New Bern, North Carolina. Ellis began work as a peddler and dry goods clerk. In 1911, Ellis submitted an application for naturalization and was naturalized in 1916.</p>
<p>During this time, Ellis established himself as an integral member of the New Bern community. In 1913, he volunteered for the local fire department and in 1916 he served as a member of the Syrian Brotherhood Society of New Bern, an early humanitarian group dedicated to providing aid to Lebanese, Syrians, and Armenians. In 1914, Ellis married Isabel DeKash, a fellow Lebanese immigrant from Hamana, Lebanon. Isabel and Ellis had six children who survived to adulthood: Evelyn Gladys Zaytoun Farris, Vivian Grace Zaytoun Salem, Constance Teresa Zaytoun Lamar, Joseph Ellis Zaytoun, Agnes Zaytoun Murman, and Henry Zaytoun. In 1917, Ellis expanded his fruit stand into a permanent grocery. In 1930, he owned a restaurant and by 1950 he had opened the Zaytoun News Agency. In 1940, Ellis was employed at John Hancock Mutual Life Insurance Company, and in 1957 he founded Zaytoun and Associates with his eldest son, Joseph.</p>
<p>Joseph Zaytoun studied Economics at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill. He enlisted in the United States Marine Corps in 1942, and began his service after his college graduation in 1943. Joseph, who had worked for the UNC student newspaper, the Daily Tarheel, helped his mother and sisters run the Zaytoun News Agency. He later served as president of the family insurance company. He co-founded the Capital National Bank in 1973, which merged with BB&T to become one of the largest banks in the Carolinas.</p>
<p>Ellis and Isabel's youngest son, Henry Zaytoun, also became a successful businessman. Henry studied at University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill and at the University of Maryland School of Dentistry. After serving in the United States Navy, Zaytoun began practicing dentistry in Rocky Mount. In 1958, he pursued a Master of Science in Orthodontics from the UNC-Chapel Hill School of Dentistry; in 1959, he and his family moved to Raleigh, where he established Zaytoun Orthodontics with his wife Martha.</p>
<p>In 1946, Joseph Zaytoun married Thelma Knuckley, the daughter of Lebanese immigrants from South Carolina. Thelma volunteered at Rex Healthcare for decades and advocated for childrens health. Between 1977 and 1985, she was a member of the Governor's Advocacy Committee on Children and Youth; following this, she was a member of the North Carolina Child Advocacy Institute. In the 1990s, Governor Jim Hunt appointed Thelma to the North Carolina Commission on Volunteerism and Community Service. Joseph Zaytoun established the Thelma Knuckley Zaytoun Scholarship for nursing education as a gift for their 45th wedding anniversary. Joseph served a four-year term on the North Carolina State Board of Elections beginning in 1961, under Governor Terry Sanford. Joseph also served on the Cary Chamber of Commerce and the Cary Cultural Arts Commission. He was an instrumental part of the Tryon Palace Commission, which preserved and established Tryon Palace in New Bern from 1977 to 1985, and the Wake County Historic Preservation Commission. In 1999, Joseph was awarded the Pro Ecclesia et Pontifice Award from Pope John Paul II.</p>
<p>Joseph and Thelma had four children: Stephen Zaytoun, Mary Zaytoun Benton, Robert Zaytoun, and Albert Zaytoun. Stephen Zaytoun joined the family business, extending Ellis Zaytoun’s insurance business into a third generation.</p>
<h4>Scope/Content Note</h4>
<p>The collection consists of photographs, letters, documents, and articles relating to three generations of the Zaytoun family in New Bern, North Carolina.</p>

ff any or all of these events interest you
(Mayor Gerry Jennings will attempt to appear at all 50 First Night venues), pick up a
First Night button soon to beat the rush for
· buttons later. There is a limited number of
buttons available, and the staff at the
Mayor's Office of Special Events expects
that the gubernatorial inauguration the following day (and accompanying influx of
Pataki people) will increase demand for the
buttons. Buttons will be $10 each until December 27 and then will go up to $12 each.
Buttons may be purchased at many branches
of Price Chopper Supermarkets, City Hall,
Albany Visitors Center, Records 'n Such,
Palace Theatre, Omni Albany Hotel, Empire Center (The Egg) Box Office, selected
Ben & Jerry's, Albany Savings Bank, Fleet
Bank, and at the Knickerbocker Arena. Tickets, if available, will be sold at the New York
State Museum, Washington Avenue Armory,
Evergreen Bank on State Street, and the
Knickerbocker Arena until 9 p.m. on Dec. 31.
Transportation will be provided free of
charge to button holders by a fleet of 50
shuttle buses. Shuttle buses will also include
STAR buses for disabled persons, and most
events will be held in accessible buildings.
Vehicles may be parked for free at t~e Empire State Plaza and at some municipal parking lots, although you should avoid parking
at lots without attendents. For those who
wander off the First Night trail and into local pubs, the Safe Ride program will be providing free rides home to Albany County
residents. The Safe Ride program runs from
10 p.m. to 5 a.m. Safe Ride can be reached
at447-7040.
In addition to access to First Night venues, parking, and shuttles, the buttons will
be accepted for discounts at several affiliated events. Tickets for the 10:00 a.m. and
2:00 p.m. performances of The Wind in the
Willows at Steamer No. 10 Theatre are half
price for button holders on December 31.
Entrance to a production of Gemini, directed
by Don Bessette and staged at the Kraft Auditorium at CDPC at 6:00 p.m., is free with
a button. The Henry Hudson Planetarium
will reserve free tickets for button holders
to a Premier Star Show which will be presented from 7:00p.m. to 11:00p.m. on New
Years Eve. The Albany Amateur Radio Station will transmit messages of up to 20
words to anyone in North or South America
free of charge all evening in the City Hall
Common Council 'room. Finally, the River
Rats will offer ticket and food discounts for
their game against the Cape Breton Oilers
at 7 p.m. on the 31st.
There will be free admission for everyone who wishes to visit the New York State
Museum between 7 p.m. and 11 p.m. on
New Year's Eve. Those who do not make it
downtown for First Night may enjoy some
of the festivities by tuning in to several radio stations which will broadcast live from
First Night events.
The First Night Celebration is the result
of the efforts of Dorothy Dack and the staff
at the Mayor's Office of Special Events. The
planning for each First Night is often started
more than a year in advance. In addition to
the full-time staff of four, the group is joined
by volunteers in the month of December.
The volunteers help in the office by answering phones and handling correspondence.
On First Night, the volunteers act as greeters and hosts at the venues and number about
500 altogether. The Office of Special Events
also recognizes the help of dozens of sponsors who contribute to First Night. In addition to a wide variety of exceptional entertainment, next year's First Night will also
include a 5K run. Attendance at the celebration has remained in the vicinity of 16,000
to 18,000 people for the past few years. For
additional information about this enjoyable
alternative to traditional New Year's Eve
celebrations, call the Mayor's Office c;>f Special Events at 434-2032.

Pop star's sexuality part
of maturation process
By ROGER CATLIN
The Hartford Courant
f she had just emerged as the new lv,1ary
J. Blige, this year's Ce Ce Peniston or the
Robin S. of the hour, nobody would have
much noticed the curves and skin that
accompanies Janet Jackson's latest album,
"janet."
Selling sounds with a dash of sex appeal is
nothing new in the recording industry,
where stars are told: If you've got it, flaunt it.
Especially in an age when MTV
introduces as many artists as radio stations
do, the image in popular music is more
powerful than ever. Madonna's latest big
splash was all image - baring all in a "Sex'
·book.
Even those with a presumably heightened
consciousness aren't above flashing a little
skin on their album covers, as was the case
last year with a bare-backed Melissa
Etheridge.
Still, the close-up on the back of Jackson's
new album, showing her poking out her
bellybutton, just above unbuttoned jeans,
was startling for those used to picturing her
as the sweet little sister of Michael Jackson.
Even more surprising, the picture was
only a detail from a larger, more startling
portrait - of a bare-chested Janet standing
defiantly, clad only in unbuttoned jeans,
while someone's hands reach around from
behind to cover her breasts.
Thought too brazen to adorn the cover of
her new album, the photograph later got
even wider circulation - as the blunt, sepiatoned cover of the September issue of
Rolling Stone, with the caption: "J anet
Jackson - The Joy of Sex."
Like the nude Vanity Fair cover portraits
of Demi Moore when pregnant or with her
body painted, Jackson's brash pose has
become the memorable cover shot of the
year. Already, a parody of it has appeared in
Esquire magazine, in which accused
Hollywood madam Heidi Fleiss drops her
top to strike a similar pose.
Jackson herself appropriated the image
once more, using it as the cover of a special
two-disc edition of her "janet." album. (The
second disc is a series of remixes of several
of its hits).

"People are uncomfortable with it because we
expose an area most people cover up," said
Rooney, one of only a dozen area belly dancers.
"Especially Americans. They are more prudish.
It's focusing on a part of your body they feel uncomfortable exposing. They would rather protect
it. They feel insecure when it is uncovered."
Some are so uncomfortable, Rooney
said, that they disapprove. Rooney's son,
for example, couldn't stand the fact
that his mother performed bellygrams - a five-minute dance at
parties, such as a birthday or anniversary.
"He was so worried one of his
· friends would see me doing it,"
said Rooney, who is a mother of
three. "But now that he is older,
he thinks it's OK."
Bejian's dancing, which also
includes belly-grams, has also
been met with disapproval.
"I don't care," said Bejian. "It
has given me so much. The feeling I get from it is happy, mysterious. It pulls at me. It's spiritual."
Bejian found Middle Eastern
dancing a way to cope with a personal tragedy.
"It was the most cathartic experience
for me," Bejian said. "It changed my life.
From this dance, I got a feeling of being strong and
proud. It did more for me than any psychologist or
psychiatrist.
"Dancing, I almost become another person.
Sometimes now when I'm dancing, I'm afraid to

once more, using it as the cover of a special
two-disc edition of her "janet." album. (The
second disc is a series of remixes of several
of its hits).
All grown up
None of this would be particularly
shocking in an age when network television
has broken the nudity barrier and expanses
of skin are increasingly used to stimulate
newsstand magazine sales.
But like everybody else in her family,
Jackson has grown up before our eyes.
So we remember this sweet little kid
dancing along, as her hit-making big
brothers practiced their numbers.
We remember her first starring role away
from her musical family, on "Good Times"
as Penny; and succeeding TV roles in
"Diffrent Strokes" and "Fame."
And we remember her carrying on that
sweetness on her first two solo albums
before she had her first collaboration with
Terry Lewis and Jimmy Jam for her
groundbreaking 1986 "Control" album,
which sold 8 million copies.
Even with that new defiant image,
demanding control and respect from the
·men who dated her ("What Have You Done
For Me Lately?"), Jackson was a modest
performer. In her one moment of sexual
vulnerability on that album, she implored
an impatient boyfriend, "Let's W_a it Awhile. "
As often as not those days, she hid her
slight chubbiness beneath layers of black
clothing. By her next album, "Rhythm
Nation 1814" in 1989 (which also sold 8
million copies), she was decked out as an ·
untouchable soldier in a battle for social
concern.
She used the garb, too, on her first solo
tour in 1990, the most successful debut tour
by any artist in pop music history. In the
security of a wide variety of dancers, she
moved in aggressive ensemble numbers but
never came off as either sensuous or
approachable.

Devotees of the art say that they are

girls who only wiggle their hips and roll their
tummies. But they are quick to point out
that ancient dance is much more than
that. Belly dancing is rich with historical and theatrical significance.
"We don't even like to call it belly dancing," said Mary Bejian, who
perfonhs under the name of Selima. "We prefer to call it Mideastern dancing or Oriental dancing
because it is more than the belly. It is musical coordination of
the whole body."
.
Bejian demonstrated by simultaneously straightening her
back, cocking her head·and curling her fingers as she darted her
dark eyes.
"It's all isolations," Bejian said
of muscles that appear to move independently. "But the eyes are very
important. They are the window to
the soul."

·
Expressing emotions
That is the allure of belly dancing,
said Susan Polhemus, artistic director of Yallah Dance Ensemble, the
only area Middle Eastern dance
troupe. She said the dances are aimed
at expressing and purging emotions.
"It's very mysterious," said Polhemus, who dances under the name of
Saja. "Sometimes, it's like toying
with the supernatural."
The dances, originating in Egypt
thousands of years ago, were . often
intended to transport a dancer to a
higher plane, where the mind is freed
by the body's swaying rhythms.
Then as today in Egypt, both men
and women dance for every reason to observe births, deaths, marriages,
harvests and wars.
Zar dances, for example, are practiced in zar houses, where, Polhemus
said, dancers whirl and whirl until
they fall into a trance. Zar dances and
others are preserved on walls of
tombs, monuments and temples
throughout the Middle East.
Though revered there, belly dancing bas yet to rise beyond a novelty
pursuit in the United States. According to author and dancer Ibrahim
Dancer Lynn Rooney performs at private parties throughout the Farrah, it was introduced here 100
area.
years ago at the Chicago World's Fair
by producer Sol Bloom, who imported Arabian dancers for the exposition's Midway Plaisance. Though
many Victorian women where shocked and scandalized, wrote Bloom,
people flocked to see what was then
called the "danse du ventre."
"When the public learned that the
literal translation was belly dance,"
wrote Bloom, "they delightedly concluded that it must be salacious and
immoral ... The crowds poured in. I
had a 2old mine."
Not-much has changed, Rooney
said. Belly dancing remains a gold
mine for those who want to pursue it.
When she danced belly-grams, she
brought in $75 per job plus tips that
were stuffed in her beaded belt. During her busy season, in the spring and
summer, her gigs could total up to 12
a day.
" Sometimes, I would get about
$150 [per belly-gram]," Rooney said.
"But I didn't do it for the money. I
love this dance. People respect that,
especially when they see what goes
into the dance - the ~ostumes, jewelry, headpieces and the music. They
know a good dancer when they see
one."
Still Rooney would go on her bellygrams with an escort, her husband
Jack. She also avoided stag parties.
"I couldn't give them what they
wanted," Rooney said of the stag attendees.
But it is t he st a g-pa r ty belly
dancer, Rooney said, who gives the
dance a bad name.
"It's used in a sexual context,"
Rooney said. "Some dancers put on a
black bra and say they are dancers.
People go away from that with a
sleazy impression of belly dancing."
To illustrate, Rooney said she was
once hired to dance at a private party
in a restaurant. The owner would not
allow Rooney to enter through the
front door. She asked her to go
through the back staircase.
"She had someone in there that embarrassed her customers," Rooney
said. "She didn't want to subject her
customers to another dancer like
that. After she saw me dance, she
apologized. The next time I went
back, I came thro9gh the front door.
"You see, it's a whole attitude. You
must keep your mind and body clean.
And it really shows. I work really
hard at it. But it's like everything else
in the world. There are good people .
and bad. There are good dancers .and
bad."
Polhemus said belly-grams help to
legitimize the art, if ·presented proper l y. However , Polhemus, who
teaches belly dancing in Albany, said
that too many ~ancers take a 10-week
course and then claim they are belly
dancers.
"They are not. It's takes a lifetime
to learn to belly dance," Polhemus
said.
.
·
Bejia n said she r uns into many
such dancers.
" It perturbs me, " Bejian said.
"They don't think they have .to study.
They are bad reps for the dance."
Teaching children
This disregard and disrespect for
the art is what drives Polhemus and .
her Yallah dance troupe, including
Bejian, to re-educate the most impressionable public - children.
- Her six-member troupe, which includes a male dancer and a drummer, goes into public schools to introduce children to Middle Eastern
dance and music. Students watch the
dances, dress in the costumes, play
the instruments and see slides of
modern-day Egypt.
"Through the dance, Saja [Polhemus] helps the children understand
the physical, social and cultural developments of the Mideast," Joyce
Pogoda, director of children's services at Albany J ewish Community
Center, wrote to the dance company.
"It was a stimulating and educational
program."
"I feel it's important to educate
and entertain," said Polhemus. "We
want people to know it's more than
belly rolls. Anyone can learn to do
that. Tbe whole dance is like an oriental rug. There is so much to it - it's
line, design and beauty. It's just a
beautiful, beautiful art form."

The Altanwnt Enterprise -Thunda:y, June 3, 1993-
The LIVING Enterprise
Dances of the Middle East unveiled by Yallah ensemble
By Kate Cohen
ALBANY - To most Americans, the cultural heritage of the
Middle East is as hidden from
view as the women who live
there. We know little more of the
region tharr what we read of political conflict, oil negotiations,
and terrorism. '
But to the Yallah Dance
Ensemble, the Middle East is rich
with history and culture, traditions and innovations, music and
dance.
Caravari_s and Desert Sands,
playing this Saturday at eba
Theater in Albany, will showcase the cultural weal th of the
countries that border the
Mediterranean. Earlier that day,
Yallah will offer a workshop to
teach two middle eastern dances
to the public.
For the most part, Yallah will
perform traditional folk dances
Saturday night, but they will
also perform a "cabaret" style
dance - what Americans refer
to as belly-dancing.
, The featured performer for
this dance is Zayda, a dancer
and instructor from Palm
Springs, Florida. She and Yallah
Dance Ensemble .have had a
long working relationship; they
offer educational programs in
Florida and New York State.
The ensemble, "a group of local artists who present ethnic
Caravans and Desert Sands conjure up the sights and sounds of
the Middle East. So do the dances of the Yallah Dance Ensemble,
which originate in the folk traditions of Egypt, Turkey, Greece,
Morocco, Syria and Israel. The ensemble will offer a workshop and
a performance Saturday at eba Dance Theater.
Big event gets bigger at millennium
By Bryce ButJer
VOORHEESVILLE - The
Memorial celebration here, always a big event, became even
bigger this year in keeping with
the village's Small Town in the
Millennium festival.
"We had five floats, six fire
companies and about 20 other
organizations," said . parade
chairman Mike Martin, first
vice commander of Voorheesville Post 1493, American Legion. Martin said the parade was
the largest in the past seven or
eight years, at least.

In ke~ping with the Small
Town theme, the focus of
speeches was volunteering.
New Scotland Supervisor Herbert W. Reilly Jr., who gave the
main speech, encouraged more
people to take part in public activities.
"The· enjoyment and community that we will enjoy today
are the result of the efforts of far
too few people," he said. "Our
Legion, our Elks, our Kiwanis,
PTAs and churches are starved
for _new recruits · and fresh
ideas."
He finished by adapting John
Donne's No Man is an Island to
the local scene. "No man is an
island .... " he read. "No reside nt of Voorheesville, New
Salem, Clarksville or Feura
Bush is an island unto himself," he said.
"And there never ask to know
for whom the bell tolls," he read,
quoting Donne's most famous
line, "It tolls for thee."
"So when the firebell, or the
ambulance beeper, or some
other summons to volunteers
goes off," Reilly said, "Never
ask to know who is called to
participate in your community;
it is calling you."

The 15-kilometer race was

Voorheesville.
dances of the Middle East," organized in 1978, according to
Susan Polhemus, the group's
artistic director. Though they
are of varied ethnic backgrounds themselves - African,
Lebanese, Armenian, Romanian,
and Russian, among others ensemble members chose the
dances of the Middle East simply
because they "love the music
and the dances," said Polhemus.
The dances they have studied
and performed come from
Egypt, Turkey,
Greece,
Morocco, Syria and Israel. The
dances are different from one
another, said Polhemus, but they
influence one another and share
common traits. Middle Eastern
dances, for example, tend to emphasize the torso - from the
shoulder to the hips. Zayda will
also be performing a flamenco
dance from Spain, which,
though it has links with Middle
Eastern dances, emphasizes
footwork instead.
Polhemus said Middle Eastern
dances are fairly easy for Americans to learn; unlike ballet, she
said, those dances are extensions
of the "natural movement of a
person." The movements are
generally the same for men and
women alike, she said, but
"unfortunately, men in this
country don't dance."
In Middle Eastern countries,
said Polhemus, it's actually more
socially acceptable for men to
dance than for women, who
dance only in private or professionally.
Both men and women are invited to the 10 a.m. to 3 p:m.
workshop, where- they will be
taught the Cane Dance and a
Pharonic-style dance. The Cane
Dance originated in Upper
Egypt, where canes used to be
used for walking and ploughing.
Male cane dancers imitate combat and fighting movements,
whereas female cane dancers
use softer, more flirtatious
movements, said Polhemus.
The Pharonic dance was
choreographed by Zayda, using
studies of the hieroglyphics
found in the tombs of pharoahs.
Would-be dancers can sign up
the morning of the workshop,
and can wear anything as long
as it's comfortable and loose-fitting. Polhemus suggests that
they also bring a sash or a hipscarf, and a cane, if possible. But
come, she said, even "if you have
no dancing experience and you
don't own a cane."
Registration for the workshop
begins at 9:30 a.m. on June 5 at
eba Theater, 351 Hudson Ave.,
Albany; the workshop begifis at
10 and ends at 3 p. m. The fee is
$30 - or $25 in advance. Call
Polhemus at 489-4594 for more
information. Caravans and
Desert Sands will be performed
at 8:30 p.m. that night, also at eba
Theater. Admission is $8. Both
workshop and performance will
benefit the eba Center for Dance
and Movement.

Dances of the Middle East unveiled by Yallah ensemble
By Kate Cohen
ALBANY - To most Americans, the cultural heritage of the
Middle East is as hidden from
view as the women who live
there. We know little more of the
region than what we read of political conflict, oil negotiations,
and terrorism.
But to the Yallah Dance
Ensemb]e, the Middle East is rich
with history and culture , traditions and innovations, music and
dance .
Caravans and Desert Sands,
playing this Saturday at eba
Theater in Albany, wi11 showcase the cu1tura1 wealth of the
countries that border the
Mediterranean. Earlier that day,
Ynllah will offer a workshop to
teach two middle eastern dances
to the public.
For the most part, Yallah will
perform traditional folk dances
Saturday night, but they will
also perform a cabaret" style
dance - what Americans refer
to as belly-dancing.
The featured performer for
this dance is Zayda, a dancer
and instructor from Palm
Springs, Florida. She and Yallah
Dance Ensemble have had a
long working relationship; they
offer educational programs in
Florida and New York State.
The ensemble, "a group of local artists who present eth_nic

Caravans and Desert Sands conjure up the...sights and sounds of

which originate in the folk traditions of Egypt, Turkey, Greece, _
Morocco, Syria and Israel. The ensemble will offer a workshop and

dances of the Middle East," organized in 1978, according to
Susan Polhemus, the group's
artistic director . Though they
are of varied ethnic backgrounds themselves - African,
Lebanese, Armenian, Romanian,
and Russian, among others ensemble members chose the
dances of the Middle East simply
because they •1ove the music
and the dances," said Polhemus.
The dances they have studied
a nd performed come from
Eg yp t ,
Turkey ,
Greece ,
Morocco, Syria and Israel. The
dan ces are different from one
another, said Polhemus, but they
influence one another and share
common traits. Middle Eastern
dances, for example, tend to emphasize the torso _ from the
shoulder to the hips. Zayda will
also be performing a flamenco
dance from Spain, which,
though it has links with Middle
Eastern dances, emphasizes
footwork instead.
Polhemus said Middle Eastern
dances are fairly easy for Arnericans to learn; unlike ballet, she
said, those dances are extensions
of the "natural movement of a
person." The movements are
generally the same for men and
women alike, she said, but
"unfortunately, men in this
country don't dance."
In Middle Eastern countries,
said Polhemus, it's actually more

workshop, where they will be
taught the Cane Dance and a
Pharonic-styl~ dance. The Cane
Dance originated in Upper
Egypt, wher~ canes used to -. be
used for walking and plougrung .
Male cane dancers imitate com·bat and fighting movements,
whereas female cane dance.rs
use Bofter, more flirtatiou s
movements, said Polhemus. ·
The Pharonic dance was
choreographed by Zayda, using
studies of tbe hieroglyphics
found in the tombs of pharoahs.
Would-be dancen can sign up
the morning of the workshop,
and can wear-anythlng as long
as it's comfortable and loose-fitting. Polhemus suggests that
they also bring a sash or a hipscarf, and a cane, if possible. But
come, she said, even •if you have
no dancing experience and you
don't own a cane."

Quintessence
eba is celebrating 20 years of creating, performing and teaching dance theatre to young and old alike throughout the Capital
area and the world.
eba has always called Albany home. Twenty years ago a group
of dedicated performing artists pooled their talents and formed
eba, a not-for-profit cultural and educational organization. These
artists were interested in creating new works in dance, music and
theatre, sharing the creative process, performing and teaching.
Now, two decades later, Maude Baum, a founding member
and visionary behind the eba idea, still strives to give Albany the
best of the modern performing arts world: a full-time resident
company of performing artists, a school for adults and kids, a
t heater wh ich has been the arts focus of Lark Street, and an arts
in education company which performs and teaches in regional
schools.
What a wonderful time to celebrate! We at eba have laughed,
cried, prayed and fallen down from sheer exhaustion ...and loved
every minute! Our audiences and students have loved it too!
Now that we have 20 years of experience under our belts, we
need to move on. It's time to make eba programs accessible to
more people and to join forces with other established organizations to make our new dreams come true.
What's on the horizon? More international cultural exchanges
and tours, a broader-based school program, teacher and artists
training in eba's Kinetic Learning Project, documentation of the
6-year Kinetic Learning Project and continuation of the valuable
programs underway at eba !
1992 also marks the 75th Anniversary of the Historic Chapter

eba, Inc. was founded in 1972 as a not-for-profit cultural and
educational organization. eba is now one of the oldest and farthest traveled full-time performing and teaching companies in
the Capital Area .
eba's purchase of the historic theater building on the corner of
Lark and Hudson in downtown Albany demonstrated the company's commitment to the Capital Area Community and to presenting high quality artistic programming.
eba's touring company, Maude Baum and Company Dance
Theatre tours throughout the world with strong, intelligent modern dance theatre works by acclaimed American Choreographers.
The Company recently returned from a whirlwind tour to St.
Petersburg and Tula, Russia.
The eba Center for Dance and Movement is a prestigious learning center where over 800 students (age 4 - 70) yearly study the
art of dance and stay fit.
Most importantly, eba returns a special gift to the community
who has so generously supported its activities over the past 20
years. eba's Everything But Anchovies Dance Theatre performs
and teaches specially created programs for school age children .
Each is designed to teach an important lesson through the magic
of dance theatre. Lessons in peer pressure, substance abuse,
friendship, self esteem, teen pregnancy, germs, and many other
topics stimulate curiosity and encourage learning on many levels.
The Kinetic Learning Project© brings eba artisUteachers into the
classroom to teach the regular school curriculum ( math, science,
social studies, language arts.etc.) through movement and theatre.
eba has created over 450 lesson plans for the KLP. Over a half million students and teachers have participated in eba_in-school
activities during the past twenty years .
eba, Inc. is a tax deductible 50 I (c)(3) corporation funded in
part by NYSCA, the City of Albany, Howard and Bush Foundation,
Federal Government, New York Telephone Company, and many
generous individuals and corporations.

Chapel Hill is ranked No. 42 in the

strengths are in music and performance."
(Villani also notes that Chapel Hill enjoys
"some decent nightlife," which
Spectator's Greg Barbera considers a little
bit of an understatement.) Villani will be
in neighboring Carrboro this weekend to
discuss the book 's selection criteria
(Wilmington, for comparison, ranked No.
23) and to offer a talk and slide presentation on how the arts can achieve goals
including boosting economies, building
tourism and revitalizing downtowns.

ArtsCenter, 300-G E. Main St., Carrboro.

JOSEPH ZAYTOUN: ENJOYING INSURANCE FOR THREE GENERATIONS
One branch of the Zaytoun family has dedicated so much time
selling premiums that their name has almost become synonymous
with the word lIinsurance.
From the time when he became an
insurance agent 40 years ago until his current business
association with his son, Joseph Zaytoun has found the insurance
business to be a fascinating industry. At age 76, Joseph
Zaytoun continues to play an active role as Chairman of Zaytoun
& Associates, the company that he founded in 1957. To what does
he attribute this success?
1I
IIHard work ••• and a love of doing things,lI answers Joe.
IIJust being active ••• once you stop, you're through. II
Explaining his point further, Joe states, "If you put in,
you can't help but ge~ something back!"
Joe has definitely dedicated many years of hard work into
his career, as well as raising his family. However, he is not
too busy to enjoy the fruits of his labor, occasionally finding
time to travel. Although he has traveled the world, he has
never been to Lebanon, primarily because of the war there.
Joe recalls how close he has been to Lebanon, III've been to
Istanbul and Ismer, Turkey, but I never got as far as Lebanon.
I plan to go someday."
Having lived through the Great Depression and World War II,
Joe readily admits that he has seen difficult times.
uYes, when I was growing up, II he says when questioned about
hard times. "In those days, nobody had anything. It was
tough" I sold newspapers on the corner in New Bern as a youth
for my spending money."
Born in Kinston, (NC) in 1920, Joe Zaytoun was the oldest
son of Ellis Zaytoun and Isabelle Dakach. His father was born
in Lebanon, and was among the first wave of immigrants who came
from that area in the early 1900s •
.. He came for a better chance in life. .His sister, Latifi,
was already here," says Joe about his father's immigration in
1903. "Dad came over in his 20s, but he enrolled in the 3rd
grade to learn to speak English."
Says Joe about his mom, "Mother came from Brazil .•. Lebanese
heritage.
II
Growing up in America, Joe learned English as his first
language. However, he is able to understand and speak "nitfy,"
or a bit of Arabic. Because his parents spoke English in the
home, he learned what little Arabic he knows from one of his
grandmothers. One lived to be 112 years old. The fourth child
in his family, Joe had one brother and four sisters, two of whom
are now deceased. He has moved around quite a bit in his life,
�\
)
-2-
living his first four years in Kinston. The next eight years
were spent in Roxboro, Mebane, and Durham. Then in 1932, the
family moved to New Bern, where his father continued to pursue
the sales of insurance, amongst other endeavors. IIHe'd sell
life insurance on a bicycle,1I says Joe about his father's work,
collecting weekly premiums.
Much of Joe's many civic works began as a youth with the
Boy Scouts of America. He attained the rank of Eagle.
He worked hard in school and was able to attend college at
UNe-Chapel Hill where he was circulation manager of all student
publications for three years. His earnings from this job helped
pay for his college tuition and expenses. While he was there,
he also joined the Marine Corps Reserves.
He says, III volunteered for the Marine Corps Officer
Candidate School while I was at Chapel Hill.1I
While on leave, between assignments, in 1943, he was
married to Thelma Knuckley, a second-generation Lebanese from
Columbia, SC. Shortly afterwards, he went overseas during World
War II. He was graduated from college "in Absentia" with a
bachelor's degree in economics.
liMy wife was presented the diploma for me as I was ,
overseas, he explains.
II
Joe's service in the Marines lasted from 1942 to 1947.
Although he fought in combat, he sustained no injuries.
III got out as a First Lieutenant, with service at Paris
Island, Quantico, Camp Lejeune, Honolulu, Guam, Guadelcanal, and
China,1I says Joe listing the different bases. III received my
commission at Quantico, Va. in July 1943.
II
'Following his return to New Bern, Joe joined the family
business, Zaytoun News Agency, a wholesale distributor of paper
products, magazines, and newspapers. He also found time to
start a business of his own.
IIIn 1951, I opened Zaytoun ~oy and Gift Shop. We sold
everything, II Joe recalls, as he lists books, toys, sporting
goods, and jewelry among the selections. We were exclusive
Hallmark and Gibson greeting cards in New Bern.
II
lilt was a nice business,1I says Joe of the variety, but
mainly directed to the holiday season. "You starved to death
the rest of the year waiting for Christmas to come."
Joe was a dedicated civic person. His many civic interests
led to being president of the New Bern Jaycees and as chairman
of the Police Civil Service Commission.
�\ )
-3-
Following his father's lead, he became initiated into the
insurance business in 1957 and founded Zaytoun & Associates~
Insurance. Five years later, he moved the business to Raleigh
with the hope of being introduced to customers in the growing
Research Triangle. He signed on with Associated Insurer~ and a
few years later, he formed a partnership with his youngest son,
Stephen. After a 20-year membership with Associated Insurers,
Zaytoun and Associates split away from that organization and
moved to Cary, where the business is presently located.
Joe and Thelma have been happily married for 53 years and
have four adult children.
"She hasn't kicked me out yeti" laughs Joe.
He enjoys bragging about his wife, noting that she is an
important member of the community.
She volunteers at Rex Hospital and has logged in more hours
than any other volunteer," says Joe, announcing that Thelma has
logged over 13,000 hours during her biweekly visits to the
hospital. "She's been doing that for 30 years."
As for their children, Albert is a dentist in Kernersville,
Mary is a hospital administrator in Winston-Salem, and Robert is
a lawyer in Raleigh. Stephen chose to follow his father's
career and was named president of the company. He was recently
featured in the March issue of North Carolina magazine.
Upon hearing my comment that all of his children are very
successful, Joe responded in his joking manner, "I don't have to
give them any money any more.
II
A few years ago, a brief history of Joseph Zaytoun and his
family was published in Memoirs of New Bern. Pictured in the
book are Joe, wearing his USMC uniform, and Thelma.
"It was a book they published down in New Bern. They
wanted to know who the Lebanese were in New Bern at the turn of
the century, so I supplied them with the 1900 census which
listed those that were there at the time."
Among his many civic and community activities, Joe has been
appointed four times by the governor to be a member of the
commission that runs Tryon Palace. He encourages the Lebanese
youth of today to participate not only in their Lebanese
community, but also in the American community of which they are
a part.
Joe adds, "I guess the Zaytoun family has gotten involved
into practically everything in the world you can get involved
in.

Joe says that being involved civically is a very satisfying
experience. He served four years on the Cary Board of Directors
of the Chamber of Commerce ••. the Cary Sister Cities Commission,
the Cary Cultural Arts Commission, the Wake County Historic
Preservation Commission, and as President of the Wake County
Cancer Society and the American Lung Association of NC. He
spent many years working on the YMCA campaigns, and the
Occoneechee Council of the Boy Scouts of America. He was the
first Catholic Layman to head (for three years) the Bishops
Annual Appeal for the East Carolina Diocese.
When asked why ~ he did all those outside activities, he
said that he loved America and the American people who had given
him the opportunity of living in a free world like the U.S.A.
Zaytoun & Associates, located at 102-104 Brady Court in
Cary, specializes in insuring small companies and their
employees. Many area residents with school-age children might
recall that they also sell scholastic and athletic insurance to
local school systems. The company also sells individual life
and health insurance and performs estate planning. Joe or
Steve, both Chartered Life Underwriters (CLU's) and lifetime
members of the international organization called the Million
Dollar Roundtable, can be reached by dialing the company number,
(919) 469-9500, or out of town, 800-672-5869.

Description
An account of the resource
<h4>Biographical/Historical Note</h4>
<p>Ellis Zaytoun was born in Hammana, Lebanon on May 30, 1890. He immigrated to the United States in 1906 along with two of his brothers and by 1910 had moved to New Bern, North Carolina. Ellis began work as a peddler and dry goods clerk. In 1911, Ellis submitted an application for naturalization and was naturalized in 1916.</p>
<p>During this time, Ellis established himself as an integral member of the New Bern community. In 1913, he volunteered for the local fire department and in 1916 he served as a member of the Syrian Brotherhood Society of New Bern, an early humanitarian group dedicated to providing aid to Lebanese, Syrians, and Armenians. In 1914, Ellis married Isabel DeKash, a fellow Lebanese immigrant from Hamana, Lebanon. Isabel and Ellis had six children who survived to adulthood: Evelyn Gladys Zaytoun Farris, Vivian Grace Zaytoun Salem, Constance Teresa Zaytoun Lamar, Joseph Ellis Zaytoun, Agnes Zaytoun Murman, and Henry Zaytoun. In 1917, Ellis expanded his fruit stand into a permanent grocery. In 1930, he owned a restaurant and by 1950 he had opened the Zaytoun News Agency. In 1940, Ellis was employed at John Hancock Mutual Life Insurance Company, and in 1957 he founded Zaytoun and Associates with his eldest son, Joseph.</p>
<p>Joseph Zaytoun studied Economics at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill. He enlisted in the United States Marine Corps in 1942, and began his service after his college graduation in 1943. Joseph, who had worked for the UNC student newspaper, the Daily Tarheel, helped his mother and sisters run the Zaytoun News Agency. He later served as president of the family insurance company. He co-founded the Capital National Bank in 1973, which merged with BB&T to become one of the largest banks in the Carolinas.</p>
<p>Ellis and Isabel's youngest son, Henry Zaytoun, also became a successful businessman. Henry studied at University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill and at the University of Maryland School of Dentistry. After serving in the United States Navy, Zaytoun began practicing dentistry in Rocky Mount. In 1958, he pursued a Master of Science in Orthodontics from the UNC-Chapel Hill School of Dentistry; in 1959, he and his family moved to Raleigh, where he established Zaytoun Orthodontics with his wife Martha.</p>
<p>In 1946, Joseph Zaytoun married Thelma Knuckley, the daughter of Lebanese immigrants from South Carolina. Thelma volunteered at Rex Healthcare for decades and advocated for childrens health. Between 1977 and 1985, she was a member of the Governor's Advocacy Committee on Children and Youth; following this, she was a member of the North Carolina Child Advocacy Institute. In the 1990s, Governor Jim Hunt appointed Thelma to the North Carolina Commission on Volunteerism and Community Service. Joseph Zaytoun established the Thelma Knuckley Zaytoun Scholarship for nursing education as a gift for their 45th wedding anniversary. Joseph served a four-year term on the North Carolina State Board of Elections beginning in 1961, under Governor Terry Sanford. Joseph also served on the Cary Chamber of Commerce and the Cary Cultural Arts Commission. He was an instrumental part of the Tryon Palace Commission, which preserved and established Tryon Palace in New Bern from 1977 to 1985, and the Wake County Historic Preservation Commission. In 1999, Joseph was awarded the Pro Ecclesia et Pontifice Award from Pope John Paul II.</p>
<p>Joseph and Thelma had four children: Stephen Zaytoun, Mary Zaytoun Benton, Robert Zaytoun, and Albert Zaytoun. Stephen Zaytoun joined the family business, extending Ellis Zaytoun’s insurance business into a third generation.</p>
<h4>Scope/Content Note</h4>
