What do you see as unique about the arts in Winston-Salem and Forsyth County?

The diversity and high quality of what we have to offer in the arts arena in a city of our size surprised me when I got here and continues to impress me. We really do live up to the moniker that the Arts Council has adopted which is the “City of Arts and Innovation.” When my friends come to visit from Atlanta they really are taken aback by the quality and variety of the arts here in Winston-Salem.

Which projects are you looking forward to most?

We have a significant project ongoing where we are reconfiguring some of space inside the Milton Rhodes Arts Center in order to create a new performance space that will give us the capacity to have multiple performance events going on simultaneously.

We also recently sold our old theater out on Coliseum Drive… and a part of what we structured in connection with that sale was the relocation of…the Little Theatre and the North Carolina Black Repertory Theatre. An important piece of work we need to continue to do is ensure that both of those organizations are effectively relocated to new spaces where they can continue to do their valuable work in the community.

Culture

What most excites you about joining the council as president and CEO? One of the things the arts council has focused on a lot over the last several years — and one of the main legacies of Jim Sparrow’s — is the extension of the arts council’s support into new areas of our community. We have several mini-grant programs for new artists and small organizations, and it’s amazing how much of a catalyst some of those small grants can be for people doing impressive work; that outreach is one of the things that excites me. I’m stepping into a dynamic group of people and I’m looking forward to coming on board as their captain so to speak, but to continue the outstanding teamwork they’ve demonstrated over the years.

Morehead Foundry halts operations amid allegations of racism

by Jordan Green Morehead Foundry, a Greensboro restaurant complex next to the Downtown Greenway, has temporarily closed following an employee walkout and allegations of racism against its owner.

Lentz Ison, the director of operations for Fresh. Local. Good Food Group, posted his letter of resignation to owner Lee Comer on Facebook on Sunday.

“I have been directed to make decisions and take action that are unethical and are not in the best interest of staff/ and the community we support,” Ison wrote. “For example, being asked to not hire eligible persons due to race.” In his Facebook post, Ison added, “I have never before been asked to fire someone just because they injured themselves and filed for workers comp, out of retaliation.”

Comer, a restaurateur who owns the Iron Hen, opened Morehead Foundry in November 2016 as a restaurant complex near the southwest corner of the Downtown Greenway. The refurbished building includes kitchen space for Fresh.

Local. Good Food Group’s catering service, along with Four Flocks and Larder, Revolution Burger, the Baker & the Bean and Hush speakeasy.

Reached by phone on Monday, Comer responded, “His allegations are completely false in terms of the context that he made them.” She added, “When you look at how many employees I have, there are far more African Americans than whites. My record speaks for itself.

I have a very diverse staff, including gay, straight, transgender and Hispanic.”

Comer also said Ison “was in charge of all hiring and firing of any kind. If he wanted to make a change, he should have made it.”

Ison said he stands behind his assertion that Comer discouraged him from hiring African Americans.

“The racial things were talked about multiple times,” said Ison, who took the job of director of operations in March.

“She thought they were working for a couple months to get unemployment.

She based it on race; it was not based on an economic thing. It left a bad taste in my mouth. She would say, ‘I don’t want to hire any black people.” While acknowledging that Morehead Foundry’s staff is racially diverse, Ison said that’s the to the credit of the management team and not Comer.

workplace policy.

Darick Palmer, who was hired as a bartender at Morehead Foundry in April, said he doesn’t encounter Comer enough on the job to comment on her racial attitudes, but harbors skepticism on the claims against her.

“I was referred to come to this job by a black man who was a friend of the owner who I attend NAACP meetings with,” said Palmer, who is himself black.

“I don’t think he would be involved with her if that was the case.”

Palmer levied a criticism of the restaurant industry in Greensboro that he said applied to Lentz’s team just as much as any other food-service operation in the city: They overlook the AfricanAmerican market, and they allow their standards of service lapse when it comes to black clientele.

“I don’t think [Comer] is any more guilty of [racism] than any other restaurateur in Greensboro,” Palmer said. “If you walk into a situation you don’t like and you can’t change it, you don’t want to be part of it. Or maybe you’re okay with it. The problem I keep running into in Greensboro in particular — I’m a lifetime service industry person — is that these restaurants have low numbers.

Comer said on Monday that Morehead Foundry has “temporarily closed for us to reorganize and figure out what our next step is.” She added, “The closing of the foundry was something that was in process well before [Ison] made his malicious allegation.” Notwithstanding Comer’s statement, Lonerider Brewing abruptly announced a delay of a new “beer den” within Four Flocks and Larder on the same day as Ison’s resignation and one day before the planned July 13 opening.

Comer also said she’s suing Ison for violating a confidentiality agreement that applies to the company’s social media policy. Ison responded that he’s not worried about getting sued because the confidentiality agreement only applies to the duration of his employment. He added that he can’t be sued for defamation because everything he’s said is true.

Ison’s allegations against Comer and his public resignation resonated with Wesley Phillip Painter, a former Iron Hen employee who now lives in New York City. Painter said he resigned from his job as a cook at the Iron Hen in 2010 after Comer loudly objected to him training a dishwasher who was intellectually disabled to prepare food.

Arriving at work at 5:30 a.m. for a catering job, Painter recalled, “I could hear her yelling in the office. I could hear her talking about this kid. She said the word ‘retard.’ She said, ‘I don’t want this retarded kid touching my food.’ I thought: This lady doesn’t deserve a second more of my time. I walked in the office and said everything I wanted to say. I said, ‘You have no idea what it takes for him to get to work every day. You don’t appreciate him. He’s helping you out. We’re all helping you out.’ That’s the only job I’ve walked out on. I’ve never forgotten the feeling. It’s an incredible feeling.”

Dummit, who has worked off and on for Comer over the past eight years, said she’s never heard her boss use the word “retard” or make fun of anyone for an intellectual disability.

“Yes, she’s a hard person to work for,” Dummit said. “She raises her voice. She definitely is not a fair person who believes everyone is equal. This is a capitalist society. She does not believe that if someone works harder they get the same pay.

She gives everyone the same opportunity.

That is not discrimination. I’ve never heard her discriminate based on race.”

Two Democratic challengers have outraised Republican incumbents in state House races in Forsyth and Guilford counties as midterm elections approach.

Democrats flush with cash to challenge GOP in state House races

Gov. Roy Cooper and House candidate Terri LeGrand

COURTESY PHOTO

Democratic challengers in Forsyth and Guilford counties are riding into the upcoming November election on a flood of cash, buoying hopes to break the Republican supermajority in the state General Assembly, allow Gov. Roy Cooper to sustain a veto and rebalance power in state government.

Four Republican House seats in Forsyth and Guilford counties, including the district represented by Majority Whip Jon Hardister, are on a list of targets released by the state Democratic Party in April. Almost all Democratic challengers in the two counties have posted impressive campaign fundraising totals in second-quarter reports, which were due on July 10, and in two districts the Democratic challengers have outpaced Republican incumbents in both receipts and cash on hand.

At the head of the pack is Terri LeGrand, an administrator at Wake Forest University, who is seeking to unseat Debra Conrad, a three-term Republican lawmaker and former Forsyth County commissioner known for pushing hardline immigration-enforcement policies.

House District 74, which carves a horseshoe around the north side of WinstonSalem, is typical of the suburban and exurban areas where the Democrats are seeking to make gains. LeGrand has been raising money since last October and has reported a fundraising total of $163,229, more than double what Conrad posted. Gov. Cooper himself came to Winston-Salem in May to help LeGrand raise money.

“We felt like that was indicative of two things,” LeGrand said. “He believes this is a winnable race, and he really wants us to break the supermajority.”

The party needs to pick up four seats in the House or six in the Senate to reach that goal.

Martha Shafer, a retired executive at Cone Health who previously served as a vice president at Women’s Hospital, has raised a reported total of $147,757, almost 10 times more than Republican incumbent John Faircloth, in her bid to flip House District 62, which covers a slab of western Guilford County from Summerfield through Colfax and down into High Point.

Ashton Clemmons, who has worked as an assistant superintendent and school principal, has raised a reported total of $129,104 in the new House District 57 in Greensboro, compared to negligible fundraising by Republican opponent Troy Lawson. The new district’s voter composition favors a Democratic candidate. The district effectively flipped through a court-ordered redistricting plan earlier this year that forced Republican lawmaker John Blust into political retirement.

In other local legislative races, Republican incumbents maintain a fundraising advantage, while Democratic challengers have posted respectable numbers.

Republican Trudy Wade has raised $189,062, compared to $104,999 by Democrat Michael Garrett in Senate District 27. Republican Jon Hardister has raised $114,180, compared to $81,614 by Democrat Steven Buccini in House District 59. And in House District 75, Republican incumbent Donny Lambeth has raised $73,033, compared to $50,369 by Democrat Dan Besse, who currently serves on Winston-Salem City Council.

Democratic candidates’ fundraising performance in the Triad supports party leaders’ continued confidence in a “blue wave” election.

“Democrats across the state are outworking, outhustling and outraising Republicans, showing that the grassroots energy and momentum are on our side and many Republicans are going to be caught flat-footed in November,” Wayne Goodwin, the party’s state chair, predicted in a July 12 statement. “The party is in the strongest position we have ever been in before a midterm election, with outstanding Democrats running in every single district for the first time ever

and the resources and support they need to get their message out.”

Matt Bales, the political director of the House Republican Caucus, discounted the notion of a Democratic fundraising advantage. Although not all Republican candidates have filed second-quarter reports, Bales said Republican House candidates hold more cash on hand in aggregate. If Republican incumbents’ fundraising totals appear unimpressive compared to Democratic challengers, Bales said that’s because sitting lawmakers were in Raleigh through the end of the legislative session last month.

“It’s easy to focus on fundraising while the Republicans are in the General Assembly delivering Hurricane Matthew recovery money, expanding rural broadband access and conducting the people’s business while all the Democrats are doing is spending time fundraising,” he said.

“Each Republican candidate is up to the task of getting their message to the voters of the great state of North Carolina,” Bales added.

Republican John Faircloth, who has only raised $15,303 so far in the current election cycle, acknowledged the enthusiasm of voters on the opposite side of the political ledger, but expressed a sanguine view of the money race.

“They were raising money while we were in session,” he said. “It’s relatively early in the season. We’ll be raising money and talking to our supporters about what we need. I think in the long run it will work out fine.”

Not surprising given Martha Shafer’s career as a hospital administrator, the largest chunk of financial support for her campaign has come from individuals employed in the healthcare industry, followed by higher education and public schools. The professional composition of LeGrand’s donors reflects a similar pattern, but with healthcare slightly trailing education. As a reflection of grassroots enthusiasm, each candidate has received $10,200 from Work for Democracy, a political action committee organized in early 2017 that has built a donor base among progressive activists in Greensboro and Winston-Salem. Both campaigns have received cash infusions from Lillian’s List, a state PAC that supports candidates that champion reproductive freedom. Shafer’s campaign has also drawn support from Fred Stanback, a Salisbury philanthropist who supports conservationist causes, and Our Shot

NC, a PAC financed by a national donor base that includes a significant number of healthcare professionals from North Carolina and New York.

“I think there’s a lot of palpable enthusiasm for our campaign,” Shafer said.

“We’ve put together a good campaign.

We’re working hard reaching out to voters. It seems like the money is following.”

In 2016, the Democrats didn’t even bother to field a candidate against Faircloth, but Shafer said the new electoral map imposed by the courts has made the district more competitive.

“I’ve certainly been getting that message out to voters that this is an opportunity to make a change,” Shafer said. “In the past, the chances weren’t as favorable as this.”

While Shafer’s campaign has benefited from large donations from a handful of prominent supporters and political action committees, she’s also collected donations as small as $5 and $10.

With nearly 500 donations in total, the average amount received by the Shafer campaign is $304, compared to $402 by the Faircloth campaign.

The contrast is even greater in House District 74, where Democrat Terri LeGrand has amassed more than 850 donations, averaging $189. Donations to Debra Conrad, LeGrand’s Republican opponent, average $423. Both candidates are pulling significant support from affluent neighborhoods like Buena Vista that flank Reynolda Road and Country Club Road in northwest Winston-Salem.

LeGrand’s top donors include employees of Wake Forest University and Jose Isasi, the owner of Que Pasa Media.

Banking and finance represent the largest industry sector in Conrad’s donor base. Her largest donor to date is Steve Vanderwoude, a former telecom executive and investor based in Chapel Hill, followed by Edgar Broyhill, a furniture industry scion and investor who has been active in Republican politics for decades.

A political newcomer, LeGrand said her biggest challenge will be overcoming Conrad’s “excellent name recognition” as a three-term incumbent and former county commissioner.

“My task is to get my name out there,” she said. “That’s why I have to raise a significant amount of money.

“All Republicans are vulnerable because of the direction they’ve taken our state,” LeGrand added, “and people are motivated to change that.”

Trump, treason and choice Trump’s weird submission to Russian President

Vladimir Putin — on international television! — and incoherent bumbling in Helsinki set his own forces against him: Fox News “commentators,” most of the GOP machinery and most importantly, if we can extrapolate from anecdotal newspaper reports, with voters who perhaps feel as if the final leg has been pulled from under the stool.

Forget for a minute that our moron in chief just hand-delivered to Putin the best press conference the dictator ever had in his life, and throw away the ridiculous “double negative” explanation and Trump’s eventual, begrudging “acceptance” of the findings of every national security division within the federal government over the word of his pal Vlad.

Let’s keep our eye on the midterm election, just a couple Mueller indictments away: 35 Senate seats, all 435 seats in the House. The Republicans hold a majority they hope to keep, and the district lines have been drawn in their favor.

So now, while most of the country is trying to decide if the president committed treason, the political animals are If they were real trying to figure out how to run on it — or patriots, we’d against it. And that is never be in this the trick.

Because sure, spot in the first tough-guy Trump place. just committed what Newt Gingrich called “the biggest mistake of his presidency,” forcing most legacy Republicans to at least disagree with the sentiment if not outright condemn it. But how, exactly, will that play out with the voters?

Come stump season, Republican candidates will be forced to either stand by their man — no matter how much like borscht he’s beginning to smell — or play the patriot card and start paying attention to what US authorities, including Mueller, are saying, distancing themselves from Trump in the process.

We should allow them no middle ground.

Ultimately, most candidates will likely fall on whichever side the prevailing wind favors as the election looms near. Because if they were real patriots, we’d never be in this spot in the first place.

e can all agree, can we not, that brunch is just great… in a general, vague sort of way, that is: Breakfast food — ish — served all day, and on a weekend no less, when most of us have the time and inclination to do it right.

Anthony Bourdain, of course, had real disdain for the meal, categorizing it as plates of eggs and warmed-up leftovers prepared and served by people who would rather be anywhere else on earth to hungover zombies just looking for the excuse to start drinking in the morning.

Nevertheless, brunch is having something of a moment in the Triad right now, with the passing of the Brunch Bill allowing booze to be served before noon and the slow proliferation of both restaurants that care to do a good job on brunch service and those who are willing to come out and pay to experience it.

And therein lies the rub: With everybody getting into the brunch game, how do we choose?

It takes approximately as much time to choose a brunch place as it does to eat brunch, necessitating a series of questions that demand answers.

Will there be boozing? If so, to what degree — are we talking bottomless mimosa or a single, great bloody Mary?

Buffet-style or off the menu? Do we want to sit outside? Do we refuse to sit outside? Do we want to wait for a table?

Budget and time are concerns. And what do we want to eat, anyway — classic dishes like eggs Benedict or something a little more off the nose?

Brunch prime time begins at 11 a.m. and lasts about 90 minutes, and then it hits again after 1 p.m., when the late-risers scramble to get in before the service ends around 3 p.m. This must be taken into consideration.

And so it was that we settled on M’Coul’s Public House in downtown Greensboro, a noted player in the brunch game that hit all the right notes.

M’Couls is downtown, which ups the price point and also the atmosphere, a big-city feel in the center of the action.

A menu of cocktails seems designed especially to soothe difficult mornings: individual slates of both champagne cocktails and bloody Marys, craft numbers made with electrolyte-laden coconut and cucumber. The servers bring lots of water.

The menu stands out, too. They’ve got both sweet and savory covered with

CULTURE Anj ponders significance of black hair and other adornments

by Lauren Barber

“Gleti,” the moon goddess.

CHRISTINE BENZ

“Anj” is multimedia artist, writer and creative entrepreneur Ashley Johnson, a UNCG grad who grew up in WinstonSalem and who’s recently landed her first solo exhibit in the Central Gallery at Greensboro’s Revolution Mill. Reach, a selection of Johnson’s past and contemporary works that focuses on generational aspects of Southern femininity and black-hair identity, will find a home at the old textile mill through Aug. 12.

“The crux of my work and the crux of who I am today is tied to the practices of black hair,” she says.

Johnson’s mother chemically straightened her hair for as long as she can remember. She recalls picking at scabs from burns the relaxer’s hydroxides seared into her scalp, and years of backof-the-mind curiosity about the natural layer of growth underneath.

“This work started when I cut off all my hair,” Johnson says. “I had lived 24

years of my life without knowing what my actual hair looked like and I didn’t know anything about it. It was a foreign object. I didn’t know about porosity. I didn’t know there was such a thing as curl patterns; I hated it and I actually called myself ugly. I thought, I wanna know why I feel this way. And I also wanna know how far this feeling traveled to get to me because it’s not my own self-hatred. I started asking myself, ‘What did my mom say about my hair when I was growing up? What kinds of words did she use to describe my natural hair?’

It was never good, so I’m thinking, Where did my mom get that?”

That temporary state of fragile self-worth didn’t impede Johnson’s exploration of the subject. She’s nothing if not imaginative and steadfast.

“My whole process is very resourceful,” Johnson says. “We weren’t rich, so I’ve always been like, ‘If I don’t have this, then I will make this,’ never, ‘Well I don’t have a camera so I’m not a photographer.’ That makes no sense to me.”

Because she couldn’t afford anything close to a first-rate camera or lighting equipment, Johnson made a study of natural light; she knows the angle of the sun every hour of the day, regardless of season. She shot most of her first series Woven behind a Food Lion on her iPhone until running across a “janky” Cannon T-3.

As she turned away from photographing weddings and newborns she refocused her lens on darkskinned women, faces decorated with delicate magnolias that had been blooming nearby or draped elegantly in large-scale woven pieces against blacker-than-black backgrounds. “Gleti,” moon goddess and ruler of the stars, wears a magnificent coral reef of magnolias ASHLEY JOHNSON Reach hinges on striking images of a white woman wearing beaded and white-ish yarn structures.

CULTURE Pentley Holmes fights above his weight class

by Sayaka Matsuoka

P

entley Holmes grew up in a family that focused on sports—particularly boxing—more than talking.

He says he was the weird one out, and still kind of is.

“I was always more outwardly emotional and I think that’s why I’m able to play music,” Holmes says. “That’s why they would think I’m weird.”

Holmes is the nephew of the heavyweight boxing champion Larry Holmes, who held the WBC heavyweight title from 1978-83. His left jab was legendary and he’s one of only five boxers ever to defeat Muhammad Ali. But Pentley, who is soft spoken and shiftily avoids eye contact as he speaks, doesn’t seem like the fighting type. He says he used to experiment by coloring his hair red and blond and people used to call him gay. He sips a cup of tea as he reminisces at the Green Bean in downtown Greensboro, just a few hours before his July 12 show at Little Brother Brewing across the street. He’s reserved but smiles as he talks.

“I knew from a young age that I could become something great if wanted to,” Holmes says. “I grew up knowing that my uncle didn’t even graduate high school and he made it to a point where everyone in the world knows his name.

I’ve always known that I can do it too.”

The musician’s stop in Greensboro was part of a seven-state tour spanning from New Jersey down to Atlanta. He’ll be circling back to North Carolina with stops in Charlotte later this month and Raleigh in early August.

During his set, framed by matte-black windows in the front of the brewery, Holmes closes his eyes and rocks back and forth as he strums his guitar. He mixes a few fan favorites by Hozier, Weezer and Johnny Cash in with his original repertoire.

His voice undulates as he plays and ends with a bit of twang that sounds like he could have been raised in the South instead of in New Jersey.

Nevertheless, Holmes’ palatable combination of folk, pop and soul is the perfect complement to a musty, summer Carolina night.

Copies of Holmes’ debut album, Rip Out My Heart, which shows a sketch of an adolescent Holmes on his knees and offering a bloody heart to a girl, lay splayed across the coffee table in front of his stool.

The drawing is reminiscent of some-
