A liar’s game

Before I made my pivot to the sales desk, before I knew that people on the marketing side of the newspaper business are capable of acting with just as much

by Brian Clarey integrity and passion as those in the editorial department, I thought sales was a liar’s game.

I came by this impression early, back when I helmed the taps at Igor’s 24-hour bar and laundromat on St. Charles Avenue in New Orleans.

Among the colorful locals, drunken tourists and service-industry soldiers that filled the barstools during my shift was a separate class of customer: the timeshare salesmen — they were always men — who worked for the hotel next door. It was their job to convince the casual New Orleans tourist to make a more permanent relationship with the city, often using the phrase “vacation ownership” and making sure to keep the cocktails coming.

These guys were basically carnies: hard-drinking, fast-talking sharpies with questionable dental hygiene and a predatory instinct for the close. Their wrists and fingers dripped with jewels, their hair shiny with product and spit, the inauthenticity in their voices barely detectable behind genuine good cheer. And there was always at least a couple of them sitting around the bar.

There was Jerry, a fatuous New Jersian

who spoke in raspy bullhorn blasts, who often came to Igor’s at the end of the workday and wouldn’t leave until it was time to get back to the sales desk in the morning. There was Marco, who once went on a binge so profound that on the fourth day he quite literally turned green.

And there was Sammy, whose name wasn’t actually Sammy but everybody called him that because he looked so much like Sammy Davis Jr., and also because it meant that no one could remember his real name, which I myself never learned even after five years.

Sammy probably made as much money hustling on the pool tables at the back of Igor’s as he did at the timeshare desk, and he also kept his slender fingers in a few other businesses of dubious legitimacy but undeniable profitability.

But still he kept at the timeshare grift, poaching lubricated suckers off my barstools and selling them the promise of an endless vacation, as easy as slipping a flashy ring off someone else’s finger and placing it on his own.

As much as I loved those guys, I never wanted any part of a job like that. And now, after a couple years on the sales desk, I recognize the flaw to their approach.

Selling is about the buyer, not the seller.

The worst thing a sales rep can do is try to get people to buy something that they don’t need.

And it’s never a good idea to out yourself in a position where you can’t use your real name.

the editorial meeting and gave me my first-ever assignment, thus beginning my time at Triad City Beat.

Becoming an editorial intern for me was something I never thought I would or could accomplish. My first experience in a newsroom was pleasant, with Jordan’s constant tapping as he typed a 1,500word feature, and Brian’s boisterous and straight-talking personality breaking up the monotony of production day.

These things made my days, and solidified my choice to be a journalist.

Triad City Beat was not only a good place to learn the basics of journalism, but real journalism. In four months I received a crash course on civics, professionalism and even beer culture. Journalism is all about informing the uninformed and uncovering the truth — the guys at Triad City Beat do just that.

As I begin my journey deeper into the world of journalism, I will cherish the memories and the lessons I learned here and apply them in all my future writing and reporting.

15 at-large candidates vie for three council seats

by Jordan Green The Oct. 10 primary will narrow a crowded field of 15 down to six at-large candidates for Greensboro City Council.

The field for the three at-large seats on Greensboro City Council — with 15 candidates on the ballot for the Oct. 10 primary — is the most crowded in at least 20 years, although the contests in 2011 and 2007 came close.

The 2007 at-large race attracted 13 candidates as longtime Mayor Keith Holliday announced his retirement and discontent over then-City Manager Mitch Johnson’s handling of a police scandal unsettled city government.

Four years later, a backlash against the unsuccessful effort to reopen the White Street Landfill swept in a more progressive cohort.

The three incumbents in the atlarge race this year are all veterans of at least one of those pivotal elections.

Yvonne Johnson, who was first elected to city council in 1993, won election to one term as mayor in 2007, lost her reelection in 2009, and then returned as an at-large representative in the 2011 redemption contest.

“I love service,” Johnson said at an Aug. 24 candidate forum hosted by the Guilford County Democratic Party. “I believe service is the rent I pay for living on this earth. And there’s nothing I love doing better than serving the people of Greensboro. I believe my voice is important because it’s a voice of reason and it’s a voice of patience. It’s a voice

Irving David Allen and Michelle Kennedy are among the progressive candidates running for Greensboro City Council at large.

of resistance, it’s a voice of inclusion, and it’s a voice that always wants a better quality of life for the people of Greensboro.”

Mike Barber was first elected to city council in 2005, and then retired in 2009 after floating the idea of reopening the landfill. He returned to council in 2013.

“I think my key role is to support public safety — police officers and firefighters — and to determine ways to help all citizens while keeping the tax rate steady, as we’ve done over my four terms serving,” Barber said.

JORDAN GREEN

Marikay Abuzuaiter staked out a position as an ardent foe of the landfill as a human relations commissioner, and then won her seat after two unsuccessful previous attempts in 2011. Since her election, Abuzuaiter has weathered a controversy over the disclosure that she acted as a confidential informant to the Greensboro Police Department, and has become a reliable steward on transportation policy.

One other name on the ballot will be familiar to voters even if she’s not an incumbent. Dianne Bellamy-Small represented District 1 in the city’s southeast quadrant from 2003 until 2013, when she was unseated by Sharon Hightower. Bellamy-Small is running for city council at large only one year after her election to the Guilford County School Board.

Much as Abuzuaiter, along with District 4 Councilwoman Nancy Hoffmann, matriculated from the human relations commission in 2011, a total of four candidates from the human relations commission are running at large.

Each has taken a critical stance towards the current council on the matter of police accountability while also highlighting issues like affordable housing, gentrification and poverty.

Irving David Allen is an organizer identified with Black Lives Matter and the nephew of the late David Richmond, part of the legendary quartet of NC A&T students who initiated the

1960 Woolworth’s sit-ins.

“Greensboro has stood on that history for a long time, but where’s the progress that we’ve seen behind that?” Allen asked at the candidate forum. “I think it’s time for us to be accountable and stand up and say that we deserve better in this city. I think we deserve better in this city when you can look at east Greensboro and west Greensboro and see the disparity.”

Michelle Kennedy, executive director of the Interactive Resource Center, touted her experience managing nonprofits and awards from the Community Foundation of Greater Greensboro, the Guilford Green Foundation and the News & Record, while noting her role in drafting the city’s winter emergency shelter plan and her work with the United Way of Greater Greensboro to alleviate poverty.

Lindy Perry-Garnette, CEO of the YWCA of Greensboro, received notoriety when she went public with her misgivings about the Greensboro police’s handling of the case of Jose Charles, a 15-year-old who was involved in an altercation with officers at the Fun Fourth Festival last year. As a result of speaking out on the matter, Perry-Garnette was removed from the city’s police community review board.

“There are times when it’s time to stand up for what’s right, and there are times when it’s time to compromise,” Perry-Garnette said. “I believe I have a record in this city of demonstrating that right is right, and when it’s right I’ll stand up no matter what the consequences are.”

Sylvine Hill, a restaurant host, is the only challenger who also ran last election. She placed fifth in the balloting during the 2015 general election. As a participant in meetings at the Beloved Community Center, Hill travels in some of the same political circles as Allen, but she emphasizes that she exercises independent judgment. Her community CV also includes volunteer work at the Greensboro Science Center and Greensboro Historical Museum.

Jodi Bennett-Bradshaw, a special education teacher with Guilford County Schools, touts her “collaborative leadership style.”

“The greatest obstacle we’re facing is our cultural climate — social injustice, systemic racism, multilateral division

and economic injustice,” Bennett-Bradshaw said. “And it’s unlikely that I have a solution that works for everyone. Solutions to social problems can only be discovered through collaboration and innovation. And innovation does not spring from homogeneity. It is derived from creative friction. And that means that the best ideas come from folks from all different backgrounds, levels of expertise, life experiences and social-economic status.”

James Ingram, an auditor who favors lowering property taxes, launched his campaign at Jerusalem Market on Aug. 25 with a program that featured two Guilford County Republican state lawmakers — Majority Whip Jon Hardister and Rep. John Blust.

Despite his influential friends, the 28-year-old Ingram’s biography isn’t that of a typical Republican. The NC A&T University alum found himself homeless after moving away from Greensboro when the grant money for a consulting gig was suddenly withdrawn. He decided to return to Greensboro, and said he wants to give back through public service to the city that helped him get back on his feet.

“What really supported me the most was a couple of churches,” Ingram said. “The body of believers — they saw that I was angry. They always kept reminding me that there’s love and grace in Christ. They’ve done so much for me.”

MA Bakie, a local business owner involved in the export industry, said in an email to Triad City Beat that unless the city addresses social issues like violent crime and opioid addiction “businesses will be reluctant to move to areas like Randleman Road, South Elm-Eugene, East Market, MLK… just to name a few. Therefore, new and adequate strategies to restore public safety are very crucial in order to rebuild investors’ confidence and trust that we need to reconnect our community development with the global job market.”

The three remaining candidates tout their ability to approach service on city council as a full-time job by virtue of having recently retired from professional careers.

Andy Nelson spent 35 years working in the transportation field.

Dan Jackson recently retired from the US Postal Service.

“My overall issue is being fiscally responsible, spending money wisely and keeping our taxes low so we can attract new business,” he said. “We have higher taxes than Raleigh and Charlotte. We’re pricing ourselves out of the market.”

Tijuana B. Hayes retired as a teacher with Guilford County Schools in 2014. Noting that she’s a life member of the Greensboro NAACP and previously served as president of the Guilford County Association of Educators, Hayes said public service is in her blood. She said it’s important to promote the city while looking out for its most marginalized residents.

Hayes said she’s thrilled that there are so many people running for city council this year, particularly young people.

Confederate monument on private land may be relocated

by Jordan Green

Mayor Allen Joines is in discussions with the United Daughters of the Confederacy about finding a new home for the Confederate soldier monument in downtown Winston-Salem.

When a statue of a Confederate soldier was erected in the town of Winston in 1905, it took a position at the northwest corner of the Forsyth County Courthouse. Now, the building has been repurposed by a Richmond, Va.-based developer into an upscale apartment complex near the east end of downtown Winston-Salem’s vaunted Restaurant Row. The statue itself is controlled by the United Daughters of the Confederacy, although the land underneath it is owned by Clachan Properties. The Charlottesville terror attack — with a white supremacist fatally ramming his car into a crowd of antiracist protesters at rally focused on preservation of a statue honoring Confederate General Robert E. Lee — prompted the city of Winston-Salem to explore the possibility of relocating its own Confederate soldier monument.

Mayor Allen Joines said he’s held one conversation with the United Daughters of the Confederacy.

“We both agreed the area it’s in has changed,” Joines said. “It’s no longer

with restaurants. We discussed: Could there be a more appropriate place and not have it be in the forefront of people who are offended?”

Joines said the two parties are looking at a number of potential sites where the statue could be relocated, adding, “Nothing’s been worked out.”

A message left at the United Daughters of the Confederacy national headquarters in Richmond was not returned. Likewise, multiple messages to Clachan, also in Richmond, went unreturned.

The recent events in Charlottesville — with continuous rallies by white supremacists including the Ku Klux Klan, Traditionalist Workers Party and Richard Spencer — have put the United Daughters of the Confederacy in an awkward position.

“The United Daughters of the Confederacy totally denounces any individual or group that JORDAN GREEN promotes racial divisiveness or Downtown Winston-Salem’s Confederate monument. white supremacy,” President General Patricia M. Bryson said a public courthouse; it’s an apartment in an Aug. 21 statement. “And we call building in an area that has developed on these people to cease using Confed-

erate symbols for their abhorrent and reprehensible purposes.”

Beyond the fact that the Confederates fought for the cause of maintaining slavery, the Confederate soldier statue in Winston-Salem was erected during a time when multiracial democracy had been defeated and Jim Crow segregation was ascendant.

The Forsyth County chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy was chartered in 1898, the same year as the Wilmington coup, which set the stage two years later for the election of Gov. Charles Aycock and the institutionalization of a rigid legal code that disenfranchised blacks and consigned them to inferior housing, education and employment.

An official history of the chapter posted on the web indicates that Katharine Reynolds, the wife tobacco magnate RJ Reynolds, donated $100 towards the cost of erecting the monument.

Gov. Roy Cooper, a Democrat, has called for the removal of all Confederate monuments across the state. The Republican-controlled General Assembly passed a law in 2015 prohibiting cities from removing the monuments without state approval.

Klansman’s felony charges dropped right before Charlottesville

by Jordan Green On the eve of a vaunted parade in December 2016 to celebrate the election of President Donald Trump, Chris Barker — the imperial wizard of the Loyal White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan — was arrested and jailed in connection with the stabbing of a Klan member who had traveled from Indiana for the event.

Now Barker’s legal troubles are behind him. After the victim, Richard Dillon, failed to show up for court on July 31, the judge refused to grant a continuance, and the prosecutor dismissed a felony charge of aiding and abetting assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury against Barker, who lives outside of Yanceyville in rural Caswell County.

Jacqueline Perez, the interim district attorney for Person and Caswell counties, wrote on the dismissal: “The district attorney’s office contacted the victim and he told the state he was not

coming back to North Carolina to prosecute the case.”

A receptionist at the Caswell County Sheriff’s Office confirmed that a warrant has been issued for the arrest of Dillon, the victim in the Barker case. She said the sheriff’s office does not plan to extradite Dillon from Indiana.

Reached by phone, Dillon indicated that although he wanted to testify against Barker, he was reluctant to come to North Carolina FILE PHOTO Klansman Chris Barker’s felony charge was dismissed in July. because he wouldn’t have been able to afford bond earring back,” Dillon said. “I’m ready if he was arrested.

I’m supkommander of the Loyal White Knights posed to be dead.” and the wife of Chris Barker, brought Perez acknowledged the timing of her the charges against him. dismissal of Barker’s charge, on Aug. 2, “Tell Chris Barker: All I want is my was notable, in light of inflammatory

statements made by the white supremacist leader in the aftermath of the Charlottesville terror attack.

“We had our court date, and then the whole Charlottesville thing happened,” Perez said. “It was unfortunate timing.”

Perez said she had no involvement in the bringing charges against Dillon.

An outgoing message on the Loyal White Knights’ hotline after the attack proclaimed, “Nothing makes us more proud at the KKK than we see white patriots such as James Fields Jr., age 20, taking his car and running over nine communist antifascists, killing one n*****-lover Heather Heyer. James Fields hail victory. It’s men like you that have made the great white race strong and will be strong again.”

The Barkers also gave an vinterview to Univision in which Chris gloated about the Holocaust and suggested it would be easy to wipe out millions of undocumented immigrants in America.

extremism, but the Republicans in Raleigh have been at this since roughly 2013, ramming through one unpopular law after another against the will of the people, from severely restricting access to the ballot box and abortion services to attacking immigrants and transgender people.

For the roughly 50 percent of the population that identifies as moderate to progressive, mostly concentrated in the cities, the implicit message from the overlords is: Shut up and deal with it. Progressive urbanites pay taxes, but don’t have a political voice. The Republicans whose 2011 redistricting play was struck down by the courts as an impermissible racial gerrymander had an opportunity to regain legitimacy. They could have heeded repeated calls from a bipartisan chorus of reformers to implement nonpartisan redistricting. Instead, they hired Thomas Hofeller, the man behind the curtain who was responsible for the 2011 travesty, to draw new maps to preserve their power.

There may yet be a reckoning.

Similar to North Carolina, Wisconsin has a state government where progressives are effectively locked out of governing decisions because Republican lawmakers have drawn the maps to guarantee their continued dominance, despite the fact that the state is politically split down the middle. Last year, for the first time in history, a panel of federal judges ruled that the Wisconsin redistricting plan is so partisan that it violates the First Amendment right to freedom of COURTESY IMAGE association and the equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. The US Supreme Court will hear arguments in the case, Gill v. Whitworth, on Oct. 3.

The nation’s high court has previously ruled against challenges to partisan gerrymandering, but Justice Anthony Kennedy, considered the swing vote, has indicated in the past that he would entertain a change of course if someone could propose a workable standard. The plaintiffs in Gill have offered a tool that might meet Kennedy’s specifications. Called the “efficiency gap,” it measures “wasted votes.” That’s the number of votes cast for a losing candidate and the number of votes cast for a victorious candidate beyond what is needed to win. The way legislative districts have been drawn in Wisconsin and North Carolina, Republican votes are highly efficient while Democratic votes are largely inefficient. The difference between the two amounts to an “efficiency gap.” Partisan gerrymandering in the two states disenfranchises Democratic voters by packing them into a small number of districts where a few Democrats will win by overwhelming numbers, while distributing Democratic voters throughout the remainder of the districts at percentages just short of what they need to carry those districts.

In the context described above, “wasted votes” has a highly technical meaning. But it’s also common sense. We’ve all heard the argument that it’s a waste of time to vote because the system is rigged. When people give up on voting as a means of exercising political will, democracy dies.

I will say one thing for the new state legislative maps under development by our GOP overlords in Raleigh: They make more geographic sense than what we have now.

As a resident of Greensboro’s Lindley Park neighborhood, I currently live in House District 60, a strange animal

by Jordan Green that mainly serves inner-city High Point, with a thin tendril traveling up Business 85 and roaming across southwest Greensboro to an eventual destination in an industrial no-man’s land near the airport. The proposed map, featuring districts that are markedly more compact, puts me in District 58, a southern Greensboro territory that includes Four Seasons Town Center and Adams Farm, while reaching up into Starmount. The new District 60, meanwhile, represents a consolidated column rising from the county line on the south side of High Point, through Jamestown and up to the airport.

That’s really the only good thing that can be said about the new maps.

Their nakedly partisan skew once again demonstrates that the scorched-earth politics of the Republican majority in the General Assembly is primarily about maintaining maximal power and minimizing input from anyone who’s not on the team.

The official name of North Carolina’s state legislative body — the The new map, slightly General Assembly — doesn’t come better than the old. anywhere close to capturing the political reality. It sounds so quaint — supposedly an assembly of delegates from all corners of the state representing varied interests who come together to hash out differences and govern through imperfect compromises. But the term General Assembly is a farce without the “GOP-controlled” modifier; for the roughly 50 percent of North Carolinians who identify as left of center, the extremeright-wing GOP gang that runs state government is better described as an overlord.

Last election — when 49.8 percent of voters supported Republican Donald Trump for president and 49.0 percent supported Democrat Roy Cooper for governor — provides an unassailable metric demonstrating that the state is split right down the political center. Yet, as the News & Observer reported on Sunday, Trump would have carried 33 of the 50 proposed Senate districts and 76 of the 120 proposed House districts.

Democracy is under assault on numerous fronts in the United States, and it can sometimes be difficult to summon outrage at the predictable intransigence of the GOP leadership in Raleigh when President Trump is giving winking support to white supremacists, churning out propaganda while attacking the press as an enemy of the state, and undermining the rule of law by pardoning a former sheriff who engaged in a defiant campaign of racial profiling against Latinx people.

Trump is the new shock-and-awe force of right-wing

Up Front

It’s outrageous, of course, that this Texas flood has forced the evacuation of hundreds of thousands of Houstonians — not to mention another six figures’ worth of Louisianians, Mississippians and Alabamans who await Hurricane Harvey’s wrath over the next couple days.

Unlike most of the outrage Americans have been feeling these last few years, though, when it comes to the weather it’s difficult to find someone to blame.

Yes, we can cite infrastructure deficiencies like the antiquated flood-control system in place along the Gulf of Mexico, or the out-of-commission pumps in New Orleans that could spell real trouble when the rains come down. We can ridicule our president for his imbecilic remarks upon landing at the epicenter of the flooding — “What a crowd!” he said to an assembled throng of wet and shivering evacuees in Corpus Christi. “What a turnout!”

Or we can point to the proliferation of these disaster-level weather events in this new century as evidence that the earth’s climate is indeed changing, and that maybe we should stop arguing about the cause and instead concentrate on the effect.

But in the here and now we’ve got flooding down in Texas after a monster storm hovered over the eastern wing of the massive state for a week; the people swimming to safety have more pressing needs than blamestorming, which will certainly be sorted out in due time.

Like a cold snap to an old car, disasters like Harvey — and Katrina before him — reveal fault lines and fissures: stress points where the systems we’ve built cannot handle the new normal.

But they also make clear our inborn compassion for our fellow human beings. As it was after Katrina and Matthew and Sandy and even 9/11, once again hundreds if not thousands of Americans converged on the disaster area. To help.

It’s too early to properly politicize this storm, which is forecast to rage through the week, hitting the Carolinas on Sunday. But it’s right on time to recognize the collectivism that’s fundamental to the great American experiment: We are in this together, no matter how polarized we’ve become.

So as a new high-water mark gets set in the Gulf states, the best those of us on high ground can do today is show compassion for our fellow Americans who have become climate refugees.

We can’t control the weather, but we can control what we do about it.

Brewery, cocktail bar and barrelhouse bolster options

by Eric Ginsburg

t’s been a good week for boozehounds.

In the last seven days, Fiddlin’ Fish Brewing opened on North Trade Street in downtown Winston-Salem, not far from Wise Man and next door to Broad Branch Distilling.

Then Joymongers — the biggest of the new craft brewers in Greensboro — announced it would open a barrelhouse in the Camel City, making it the only Triad brewery to set up shop in multiple local cities (Natty Greene’s used to operate a Raleigh location). To top it off, LaRue kicked off its cocktail joint Rue-Bar this week in the space formerly occupied by Blue Martini.

Any of these developments would be newsworthy on their own. Indeed, my colleague broke the news about Joymongers’ expansion on our website a couple days ago. But in context, it becomes all the more impressive.
