EDITOR’S NOTEBOOK

Washing the car, among other things On Saturday I just couldn’t stand it anymore: the caked salt and mud on the sleek, black body; the perma-fog on the windshield; the

by Brian Clarey bits of dead grass poking from the tailpipe. So I answered the urge to wash my car, even though I knew damn well it was going to rain all week.

People who have known me — and the cars I’ve driven — for a long time might be surprised that I even care. For most of my life I’ve driven beaters, the kind where I wouldn’t even notice if someone dinged me in a parking lot, the kind where people in new cars give me a wide berth on the highway, the kind where a proper car wash seems as extraneous as a flame job, the kind where you leave it unlocked and sort of hope somebody steals it.

Often, my cars have been filled with piles of newspapers, cigarette butts, empty water bottles and coffee cups, small armies of lighters and pens, puddled jackets and scarves, tangles of malfunctioning charging cords, discarded toothpicks and whatever my kids have left in the back seat, which sometimes includes food.

No more. My most recent vehicle,

which is older than my youngest child and cost less than a good weekend in New York City, is different. I like this car. I love this car. A gift from my wife, it’s the first vehicle I’ve actually chosen for myself… ever. My first was a shiny VW bug that I bought on a whim. I had an Isuzu pickup truck that once belonged to the bar I worked at. The Jeep was my wife’s, and after that we purchased a series of sensible sedans and wagons based on availability, mileage and the amount of car seats we could fit in the back.

But this little beauty is mine.

It took half the day: I ran the vacuum and pressure-washed the mats and detailed the rims. I rinsed the salt from the body and elbow-greased the scuffs out of the hood. And then I buffed the entire thing with a clean towel so that it looked like polished licorice, a gleaming, black jewel.

It was soiled before I even got it home that day. And by Wednesday, it wore the same coat of rain-spattered, brown-gray grime as every other car on the road.

Saturday can’t come soon enough.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK

I’m concerned about the direction our country is going in and I realized last year and the year prior I needed to do more than just reading and voting. I’m especially concerned about what’s going on with immigration and how we treat refugees and DACA [recipients]… I don’t have to look far back into my family’s history to see a story of how this country being welcoming allowed dreams to be realized.

Kenneth Ruff is the director of University Bands at North Carolina A&T State University, one of eight historically black colleges and universities performing in the 16th Honda Battle of the Bands Invitational Showcase in Atlanta on Saturday. A $20,000 grant to support the university’s music education program accompanies what will be the Blue & Gold Marching Machine’s sixth appearance at the invitational. The theme is March On: Dream Together.

What is it like to direct a marching band you were once a member of?

It’s pretty unique. I think that’s one of the reasons we can keep the traditions going, though.

It’s always been innovative, but under my direction we expanded and crossed over into corestyle concepts as well as traditional marching-style concepts. I emphasize teamwork with my staff and it’s more student-oriented because they have a voice in decisions as well. My dissertation is on school culture and how to influence that culture. I use some of those concepts like collaboration and making everyone a vital part of the organization by giving them a voice on something. Sometimes I have to be a dictator, but oftentimes its shared leadership.

Four questions for Kenneth Ruff

by Lauren Barber

How will the $20,000 grant impact A&T’s band program?

We don’t have a lot of scholarship dollars for the students so we’ll give it to people so they can stay in school or get their books. There are some programs that have great scholarship money so they’re able to attract those who may be exceptional players or exceptional academically. We have students coming for our educational programs but as far as attracting those high-level players, we might not be able to attract them given what other schools can offer. I lose quite a few that way every year. We are one of the top HBCU bands out there so, because of social media, people all over the US are able to see what we’re doing and students from out of state, of course, need more funding.

Puzzles

Shot in the Triad

Culture

What most impresses you about this year’s band members?

This group is very talented, and they learn quickly. Musically, I think this group is very flexible. With that flexibility they adapt quickly, and so if we’re putting together a show in a week or two or three, they’ll do well at it. They’re very musical, so they’re one of our better sounding groups other than just being great performers.

6

What can fans expect at the show?

It will be theme-oriented but expect excitement, not your typical halftime performance by an HBCU group — we stepped out the box and mixed that up last year. And wonderful, wonderful arrangements. If I can clear the snow off the practice fields so we can practice out there, I think it’s going to be very entertaining, unique and look and sound good.

Prophetic witness

by Jordan Green

Repent, Michael Eric Dyson told the crowd at Wake Forest University.

JORDAN GREEN

Michael Eric Dyson, one of the most astute intellectual stewards of Martin Luther King’s legacy, gave a speech on Monday at Wake Forest University’s Wait Chapel that modeled one of the slain civil rights leaders’ most powerful practices: prophetic witness.

As a hallmark of the religious left, prophetic witness works best when it calls the whole community — or the United States, in this case — to repentance rather than just calling out opponents. Dyson established moral credibility in his speech at Wait Chapel by first telling uncomfortable truths to friends before assailing foes: Before tackling American chauvinism and white supremacy, he took the black church to task for homophobia.

When a woman told him he was going to hell after he preached inclusion of LGBTQ people at a black church, Dyson told his audience at Wake Forest: “I said, ‘What’s wrong with your theology?’ If you think they ain’t perfect, are you saying God ain’t perfect? You saying God created something that ain’t perfect? It ain’t my theology I’m worried about; it’s yours. Because if God made it, it’s good. God looked down on the earth, and said, ‘That’s good!’”

To its credit, the predominantly black but multiracial audience of about 1,500 seemed to be right with Dyson, including the choir comprised of Winston-Salem State University and Wake Forest University students that had just performed a stirring rendition of “Lift Every Voice and Sing.” I know because they were seated right behind me, and I heard several murmurs of agreement and “amens,” so maybe Dyson literally was preaching to the choir.

His consistency in condemning those who would exclude LGBTQ people from both civil rights protections and the blessings of God’s creation gave Dyson the credibility to issue a searing indictment against President Trump’s racial demagoguery surrounding Colin Kaepernick’s modest petition for racial justice.

“When he takes a knee, he’s not standing and kneeling against America,” Dyson said. “He wants America to be great. Mr. Kaepernick’s simply saying, ‘I want to draw attention to people who are unjustly killed as a result of police aggression.’ That’s not an assault on police officers that we appreciate when they exercise their just prerogative of defense in the name of the state with a badge and a gun. When it gets out control, when it begins to metastasize like a cancer across the body politic, it must be stopped.”

cratch Donuts and Chicken fits neatly into Greensboro’s unique and evergrowing list of restaurants.

And though it has only been a few short months since its inception, exciting new creations and crazy doughnut flavors continue arriving every day. While the savory and sweet classic of chicken and waffles remains popular among Southern kitchens, Scratch has brought a new twist for those seeking to satisfy a sweet tooth.

hy don’t you just stop dragging it around?,” Cassandra Victoria Chopourian’s character, Clara, asks Cilla, played by Stefanie Bass, in the opening scene of Amy da Luz’s new play Boxes and Baggage.

The “it” is a hefty turquoise trunk, metaphorical emotional baggage, in which dwells a child, Alice, portrayed by 11-year-old Burlington actress Story Johnson. By scene’s end, it’s apparent that Alice symbolizes Cilla’s childhood self, and she is not a terribly supportive companion.

Boxes and Baggage, winner of the 2018 New Play Project and the prestigious Mark Gilbert Award, kicked off the 16th annual Greensboro Fringe Festival in the Stephen D. Hyers Studio Theatre in the Cultural Center on Jan. 18. Playwright Amy da Luz is a professional actress, a founding member of the Paper Lantern Theatre Company and an adjunct acting professor at UNCG. Fringe Fest almost fell through after a 15-year run but festival director Todd Fisher acted quickly to keep it afloat.

“We formed an executive board very quickly, got a new website, got our nonprofit status filed so we can go after bigger money,” Fisher said. “Instead of taking a year off and losing momentum, dropping the festival out of people’s minds, we said, ‘We’re going to do it.’”

Casts of volunteer actors deserve credit for making the festival what it is, though.

In the surrealist production, Clara, Cilla and Alice determinedly zig-zag up metaphorical mountainsides and psychologically-dense forests on their way to “Self-Worth, Texas.” The answers are neither “Here” nor “There,” and the (literal) map keeps changing. (Where was “There,” anyway?) It started “Here,” where Clara lives a life of solitude in her round-the-clock residence, an approximately 7-square-foot boarded box propped open with a small piece of wood. She is visible only from the chest up, tightly laid hair split down the center of her head by a sharp part of her dark brunette hair, bound and wound in tight pigtail-style buns.

As she peered out from her roost, Cilla approached in her brown lace-up boots, lugging her trunk and a worn-looking map, lost, confused and desperate for help. She manages to draw Clara out of her highly-fortified box only to discover
