THEN & NOW

A RICH HISTORY

I see a vibrant, diverse downtown Durham that is welcoming to everyone. Our retail, restaurant and bar sectors and our rich artistic and performing arts will continue to attract people who want to experience a unique and authentic atmosphere.

Downtown Durham’s future will be centered on innovation and technology inspired by its robust entrepreneurial community. That entrepreneurial spirit combined with our rich cultural history and local retail vibe will continue to make downtown Durham a place where people will want to live, work, play and visit.

Nicole J. Thompson, President & CEO Downtown Durham Inc.

L

ong before the Bull City was named for Dr. Bartlett Durham in the 1800s, the community was making history. Before Europeans arrived, two Native American tribes the Eno and the Occaneechi lived and farmed here. Durham is thought to be the site of an ancient Native American village named Adshusheer. The Great Indian Trading Path is traced through Durham, and Native Americans helped mold Durham by establishing settlement sites, transportation routes and environmentally friendly patterns of natural resource use.

Europeans In 1701, Durham’s beauty was chronicled by the explorer John Lawson, who called the area “the flower of the Carolinas.” During the mid-1700s, Scots, Irish and English colonists settled on land granted to John Carteret, Earl of Granville, by King Charles I (for whom

the Carolinas are named). Early settlers built gristmills and worked the land.

War Between the States Due to a disagreement between plantation owners and farmers, North Carolina was the last state to secede from the Union. Durhamites fought in several North Carolina regiments. Seventeen days after Lee surrendered his army at Appomattox, the Union’s General Sherman and the Confederacy’s General Johnston negotiated the largest surrender and the end of the Civil War at Bennett Place in Durham.

Tobacco & mills After the ceasefire in Durham, Yankee and Rebel troops celebrated together and discovered Brightleaf tobacco — a taste that led to the success of Washington Duke and his family and spawned one of the world’s largest corporations

(which included American Tobacco, Liggett & Meyers, R. J. Reynolds and P. Lorillard). Tobacco soon inspired other Durham developments. The first mill to produce denim and the world’s largest hosiery maker were established in Durham during this time.

Education In 1892, Trinity College moved from Randolph County to Durham. Washington Duke and Julian Carr donated money and land to facilitate the move.

Following a $40 million donation by Washington Duke’s son, James Buchanan Duke, Trinity College expanded into Duke University in 1924. In 1910, Dr. James E. Shepard founded NC Central University, the nation’s first publicly supported liberal arts college for African Americans.

THEN & NOW

African-American enterprise After the Civil War, the African-American economy progressed through a combination of vocational training, jobs, land ownership, business ownership and leadership. In 1898, John Merrick founded North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company, the nation’s largest and oldest African American-owned life insurance company. With its founding in 1907, M&F Bank became one of the nation’s strongest African American-owned and managed bank. So many other businesses joined Durham’s Parrish Street neighborhoothat the area became famous as Black Wall Street.

Civil rights In the late 1950s, Reverend Douglas Moore, minister of Durham’s Asbury Temple Methodist Church, along with other religious and community leaders, pioneered sit-ins to protest discrimination at lunch counters that served only whites. A sit-in at a Woolworth’s counter in Greensboro captured the nation’s attention. Within days, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. met Reverend Moore in Durham, where Dr.

King coined his famous “fill up the jails” rallying cry during a speech at White Rock Baptist Church. Advocating nonviolent confrontation with segregation laws for the first time, Dr. King said, “Let us not fear going to jail. If the officials threaten to arrest us for standing up for our rights, we must answer by saying that we are willing and prepared to fill up the jails of the South.”

Research Triangle Park In the 1950s and ’60s, what is now the world’s largest university-related research park and namesake for the vast Triangle region was carved from Durham pinelands. Research Triangle Park (RTP) is encompassed on three sides by the City of Durham, with a small portion now spilling into Wake County toward Cary and Morrisville. RTP scientists have developed everything from Astroturf to AZT and won Nobel Prizes in the process. Now, over 170 major research and development companies, including Bayer, GlaxoSmithKline, IBM, Underwriters Laboratories and agencies such as the EPA, employ more than 39,000 full-time employees.

GOOD EATS

Local joint named among Eater’s 38 best Southern restaurants Story Zachery Eanes // Photos by Juli Leonard

P

opular foodie website Eater recently named what it called the “South’s 38 Essential Restaurants” — a collection of the region’s best restaurants. Among the restaurants receiving plaudits from the website included a Durham staple: Saltbox Seafood Joint.

Eater’s ranking included restaurants from 11 states in the Southeast, from Virginia to Florida, and as far west as Louisiana.

Saltbox Seafood Joint, the small takeaway shack run by chef Ricky Moore on the edge of downtown Durham, joins Crook’s Corner in Chapel Hill, on the list. Saltbox serves seafood that is delivered from the coast every morning, which leads to varying options and prices daily. The small restaurant is known for the long lines that queue up for its food, which Eater describes as “unquestionably worth” the wait.

Bull City Pride

It doesn’t take much time in Durham before you’ll start to notice bulls everywhere — in public art, in logos, in business names, and even in the free downtown bus, the Bull City Connector.

You’ll probably also hear locals speaking lovingly about the “Bull City,” a nickname that Durham has embraced with distinct fervor. Here are a few businesses in the Bull City that display local pride.

Bull City Burger & Brewery Wearing its pride in the name on the marquee and the names of its products – like the Parrish St. Pale Ale and the Blue Monster burger (a reference to the left field

wall at the Durham Bulls Athletic Park) – BCBB is all about the local culture. It even sources nearly everything locally or produces it on site.

Mateo Bar de Tapas The name may have more to do with chef-owner Matthew Kelly’s name than with matadors, but Mateo’s sign, shining bright as you head east down Main St., is becoming another iconic bull image. Heed its call to experience one of Durham’s most celebrated culinary establishments, which mixes Spanish flavors with Southern dishes.

homage to owner Gray Brooks’s grandfather, Brooks and his partners eventually settled on Pizzeria Toro, tying his beloved wood-fired pizza restaurant to Durham’s community. When Toro was temporarily closed due to a fire, they filled their windows with a map of other local restaurants, showing that the name represents a deep commitment to the local area.

Pleiades Maybe the most creative bull reference, Pleiades is a group of stars that makes up part of Taurus, the bull constellation. It’s also a local gallery owned and operated by a group of 10 local artists, promoting and supporting the local arts community.

Durham has been a culinary destination for years -- long before the national media arrived.

Since then, Durham’s been hailed the Tastiest Town in the South

by Southern Living magazine and America’s Foodiest Small Town by Bon Appétit, among other titles. Many Durham chefs and restaurateurs, including Matthew Kelly of Mateo and Vin Rouge, and Phoebe Lawless of Scratch, have been nominated for major awards, including the James Beard Award.

National praise has just confirmed what locals have known all along: Durham is brimming with innovative restaurants, skilled chefs and unique flavors.

THE ART OF BUSINESS

Want an old Buick in your dining room?

Call Bash and Lola Story by Leah Moore // Photos by Juli Leonard

M

ark Hill and Lola Tillett have figured out a way to turn their shared passion for old vehicles into a creative business.

When the engaged couple isn’t working for a local engineering firm, Hill, 35, and Tillett, 31, turn vintage cars into furniture, jewelry and home decor for their Durham-based company Bash and Lola.

Tillett said they hate to see old cars sit in junkyards because of their history and gravitas.

“We just don’t like throwing things away. We try to save it all,” she said.

Bash and Lola turn the cars into bars and entertainment centers, and any other kind of furniture you can imagine. As far as jewelry, they offer necklaces, rings, bracelets, earrings —

for both men and women — and even keychains.

“We do a lot for guys too, which is great, because it’s kind of a unisex idea in a way, the jewelry we make,” Tillett said. “A lot of guys like the chunky rings or the darker colors.”

Despite the fact that many of these old cars were first popular decades before they were even born, Hill and Tillett

Mark Hill and Lola Tillett turn vintage cars into furniture, jewelry and home decor for their Durhambased company Bash and Lola. Here, they are standing in front of a 1953 Chevy Canopy Express.

Only 187 of the vehicles were made that year.

feel a strong attraction and attachment to the classics.

“We weren’t around for their heyday, when they were always on the road, but there’s something about them – their lines, their curves, the way they run, the way they sound,” Hill said. “They’re monsters. Terrible on gas — we found that out day-in and day-out. It’s almost an intoxication with old vehicles.

The styling and craftsmanship was so different back-in-the-day. They almost have an art-deco kind of feel to them, the way some of the bumpers were, and the grills. They have more character.”

one’s got blue in the middle,” he said.

“So she can’t say ‘I’ve got 65 bracelets in stock.’ She has to post each one and that has just been a nightmare for us.”

A typical day for Hill and Tillett is pretty hectic, between their regular jobs and their Bash and Lola business. They go shopping for old cars after work on weekdays and on weekends, and also frequent the flea market.

Bash and Lola’s 1950s Vintage Chainsaw Lamp

Originally the two tried to fix up the old cars to re-sell them. They quickly discovered that was not profitable.

“We started out and we bought a car and we were like, ‘We’re gonna fix it up and sell it!’ We did a little work to it and just had to sell it, because we had sunk so much money into it we were just at an absolute loss,” Hill said.

Unique pieces The Bash and Lola website says the majority of their merchandise is sold out, but Hill said that is a result of their unique product line.

“Each one’s a snowflake, so you can’t say ‘I’ve got 35 of these bracelets,’ ” Hill said. “Each one, it’s got yellow on the left and red on the right. Well, the next

Hill said they get it all done because they have a passion for what they do.

“You have to love what you do, or else you’re just going to be another rat in the race,” Hill said. “It doesn’t feel like work when you’re up until 2 a.m. and waking up at 6 just to do it over again because you’re excited. It’s

13

unexplainable. You can’t stop smiling.

It’s not like ‘Oh I gotta wake up at 6 and it’s gonna suck to cause I gotta do this again.’ It’s like ‘I can’t wait til 6 a.m. ’cause I get to go do this again.’ After a lot of coffee, that is.”

If your little one is the adventurous sort, the skate park in Durham Central Park is the place to go. Come equipped with your skateboard and safety gear, and they can try out the quarter pipe, launch boxes, handrails, street clam and eight-foot bowl. (If you don’t know quite what those things are, you can also watch the skaters while you check out number two on the list!) The Central Park District is home to a farmers’ market and art market with food trucks on Saturday mornings, which makes it the perfect place to fuel up before an afternoon activity.

The Museum of Life + Science is one of the top familyfriendly museums in the Southeast because it has beloved, interactive science exhibits where kids can, well, act like kids and learn at the same time. Outdoor exhibits Hideaway Woods, Dinosaur Trail, Into the Mist and Catch the Wind are known as places where kids can let loose — run, dig, build, climb and explore all day long indoors and out.

You’ll leave with an exhausted youngster, who might just say, “This was the best day ever!”

GIVING BACK

The Annual Home Builders Blitz brings the community together

DREAMS UNDER CONSTRUCTION Story by Sally Keeney // Photos contributed

T Joanne McClain and her daughter, Samantha, stand with Durham Building Company’s Eric Hedden and Joe Barker.

his year, more than 200 families nationwide built a home by partnering with local home builders and volunteers during Habitat for Humanity’s Home Builders Blitz week in June. From 12 homes being built in Wake County by 13 home builders during the first Habitat Blitz in 2002, the number of builders, sponsors and homes completed nationwide has risen to more than 1,700 since the Habitat Blitz went national in 2006, according to a recent Habitat for Humanity International newsletter. In 2015, Habitat made a commitment to Blitz annually.

Angier Avenue and Bingham Street in East Durham, not far from downtown, was the site of this year’s Durham Habitat Blitz where five homes were built for five families, all of whom are headed by single mothers.

“Our partner families buy their homes and bring 250300 hours of sweat equity to loan closing instead of a cash down payment,” Lakeisha Minor, Durham Habitat’s family services director, said. “Tiffaney (White), Anita (Stewart), Tiffany (Byrd), Natasha (Hanks) and Joanne (McClain) all work hard in their primary jobs, and on top of that, they’re working hard to earn their sweat equity hours. Owners’ monthly payments — all of which are under $650 per month — go to Habitat, and Habitat uses those funds to build more homes for Durham neighbors. Together we’re building strength, stability and self-reliance.”

Durham Habitat was among the first affiliates to lead with Home Builders Blitz events, according to Roxanne Little, director of development for Habitat Durham, said. “Our

first in Durham was in 2005 when seven homes were built in just one week. This year’s Blitz was the seventh in Durham and so successful that we’re already excited to do it again in 2018.”

Habitat is all about partnerships, and Blitz partners stand out,” Blake Strayhorn, Durham Habitat’s executive director, said. The local builders participating in this year’s Blitz were: B. Wallace Design and Construction, BuildSense, Durham Building Company, Garman Homes and Thayer Homes.

The foundations and building permits were in place before the Blitz began, but in just six days, five local home builders each built one house from start to finish — from raising the first walls to the final certificate of occupancy, Strayhorn explained.

“Habitat, and the Blitz event in particular, are

about working together for something that all of us recognize as a huge value for the community.”

LEON MEYERS, BUILDSENSE

“Each builder invites and coordinates a cast of hundreds of their partners to make the home a reality,” Strayhorn said. “And, the most important partner is the family who is buying their Habitat home at zero percent interest.

The days are long, and each day marks so many milestones. At the end of the week, we have not only five new homes, but also new friendships, new neighbors and a stronger community. Durham Habitat is thankful for all of the partners who made the 2017 Home Builders Blitz a success.”

“I told the Blitz dedication crowd that all of us hear a lot about Us vs. Them,” Leon Meyers, partner and operations lead of Buildsense, Britney Wallace and her core build team with B. Wallace Design and Construction pose in front of the Natasha Hanks family home. said. “In fact, that’s just about all we hear in the news. Habitat and the Blitz event in particular, are about working together for something that all of us recognize as a huge value for the community. Everybody involved in the June Blitz went away at the end of the week with a very strong sense of the power of joint effort.

“Habitat’s uniquely effective program makes it possible for 30-plus Durham families per year to reach the goal of home ownership — and sets them on a path to success that they might never have achieved otherwise. It’s a privilege for BuildSense to support such a powerful force in our community.”

“Like all of the builders involved, I want to say thanks to Durham Habitat and the family we worked with — in our case Tiffany Byrd and her kids, Jakarri, Khyvion and Zoey,” said Randy Lanou, architect and founder of BuildSense. “The Blitz is service work for the right reasons.”

PLENTY OF ACTIVITIES FOR LOCAL SENIORS Story by Sally Keeney // Photos contributed

A

walk or picnic in Duke University’s Sarah P. Duke Gardens, a hike through Duke Forest or a bike ride on the American Tobacco Trail — there are lots of fun outdoor activities in Durham for seniors. Enjoy a Durham Bulls baseball game in the summer, college football in Fall, basketball in winter and baseball in spring at NC Central University or Duke.

NCCU’s Art Museum and Duke University’s Nasher Museum offer inspiration and programs to share artistic expression. Durham County’s main public library is undergoing renovation through spring of 2019, but much of its collection is housed in space at Northgate Mall, and branches throughout the city and county have programs online and off that seniors will enjoy.

Those preferring indoor pursuits will find many intellectual, cultural and artistic offerings, including incubator art endeavors like the Golden Belt, an old textile mill transformed into galleries, event spaces and 30 artist studios which are open to the public as part of the Third Friday series.

Sherry and David Holmes, former residents of Florida, came to the Triangle to live closer to their adult children and grandkids. They found their spot in Carolina Arbors

“The thing that brought us here was active lifestyle in the community,” David said. “There is no end of things to be involved with right here,” David said. “Plus it is near great doctors and cultural activities in Durham, Chapel Hill and Raleigh — almost anything we’d want to do is within a short drive.”

CITY OF CHAMPIONS

Widely known as the City of Champions, Durham is home to national championships, hall of fame coaches, the site of the first interracial basketball game, and the backdrop for the movie Bull Durham. Visitors can enjoy America’s pastime in the gorgeous Durham Bulls Athletic Park, explore college basketball at the Duke Basketball Museum and Sports Hall of Fame and enjoy the picturesque Historic Durham Athletic Park.

The Duke University Blue Devils compete in 25 NCAA Division I sports in the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC), but the Duke men’s basketball team and its home arena, Cameron Indoor Stadium, are the most notable. That team’s resume includes four NCAA championships, 10 NCAA

championship games, 15 Final Fours, 11 national players of the year, and 71 players selected in the NBA draft.

The Durham Bulls Baseball Club, founded in 1902, is the Triple-A baseball affiliate of the Tampa Bay Rays and is the most famous minor league baseball team in the country thanks to Bull Durham, the

best sports movie of all time according to Sports Illustrated. The team plays 72 of 144 regular season home games at the 10,000 seat Durham Bulls Athletic Park. In 2009, the Bulls won their first Triple-A national championship and in 2011 earned their 6,000th win in franchise history.

The North Carolina Central University Eagles compete in 14 men’s and women’s NCAA sports as members of the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC). In 2012, NCCU completed a five-year transition to the NCAA Division I (Football Subdivision), which will bring even more national recognition to the historically black university.

With so many great sports teams, it’s easy to cheer for a hometown favorite.

EXCELLENCE IN EDUCATION

This Durham charter school made a huge gain in student proficiency. How did it happen?

Story and photos by Greg Childress

Hard work, dedication, prayer.

That’s how Jason Jowers, head of school at Global Scholars Academy, a Durham charter school, described the effort that netted a 17- percentage point gain on end-of-grade tests at the K-8 school on Dowd Street.

Global Scholars’ students increased the school’s proficiency score from 36 percent on the 2015-16 test to a 52.8 percent passing rate on the most recent round of state tests.

They also improved the letter grade the school received from the state from “D” to “C.” “That was unacceptable,” Jowers said of the 36 percent proficiency rating

everythingdurham.triangle.com

and the “D” letter grade the school received last year.

When he arrived at Global Scholars in the summer of 2016 after stepping away from a principalship at Fayetteville Street Elementary School, Jowers set a goal of a 20 percentage point increase in proficiency among the school’s 215 students, and would have made it, he said, but for the fact the school’s eighth-graders underperformed on the state tests.

“It was audacious,” Jowers said of the goal. “I would have been laughed out of many school districts for setting such a goal. Nearly reaching it is a testament to the hard work of the staff and teachers and the buy-in from parents.”

30

Jowers has set a goal to increase proficiency by an additional 20 percentage points this year.

“That’s the goal for us and everybody understands that’s where we’ve got to be this year,” Jowers said.

Jowers credits becoming more intentional about instruction, increasing professional development opportunities for teachers and parental buy-in for improvement on state tests.

“We’ve spent a lot of time on professional development and just figuring out what’s going to work for our school,” said Jowers, explaining that a “one-size-fits-all” approach to education simply does not work.

Global Scholars Academy students’ efforts, combined with family, teacher and school support, are the driving forces behind a 17 percentage-point proficiency gain on the most recent round of state achievement tests.

Freedom pays off

‘Joy and elation’

He also said the freedom allowed charter schools, which are public schools but are free of some of the red tape and rules that burden traditional public schools, has allowed him, for example, to explore new reading and math programs that are working for students at Global Scholars.

James Johnson Jr., who co-founded Global Scholars with Kenneth Hammond, pastor at Union Baptist Church, said he felt “joy and elation” after learning about the school’s gains on state tests.

“I have the freedom to try just about anything just so long as it fits into the parameter of our charter,” Jowers said.

He said being a small school with only 215 students and only one class per grade has also helped, because he’s able to visit every class daily.

Jowers, a former Durham Public Schools Teacher of the Year and the 2015 N.C. Assistant Principal of the Year, left Fayetteville Street Elementary to lead Global Scholars.

Jowers said it was tough to pass up an opportunity to have more freedom and flexibility to educate children in a low-performing school using the creative approaches he believes will make a difference.

“It fails, it doesn’t work,” Jowers said then of traditional strategies to educate children in low-performing schools.

“You have to think outside the box and allow educators to be innovative.”

“It’s all about leadership and we have an excellent group of t eachers,” said Johnson, a professor at UNC Chapel Hill’s Kenan-Flagler Business School.

“He [Jowers] brought a talented group of teacher with him and that’s been big, that’s huge.”

Johnson said the climate at Global Scholars has changed dramatically since Jowers’ arrival. He said student learning has accelerated and Jowers has set high expectations.

Johnson said the year-round school doesn’t close during intercession and students who are struggling academically are expected to attend remedial programs designed to help them catch up.

“If a kid is not performing, we reach out to parents and tell them that the child needs to be here,” Johnson.

No time to waste As a college professor at UNC, Johnson said he sees the best and brightest

31

students North Carolina and the rest of the world have to offer.

“Those are who our kids are ultimately competing against,” Johnson said. “We can’t afford to miss a minute.”

Darius Bannerman, the parent of a Global Scholars eighth-grader, said he first started hearing about possible double-digit gains on the state test while attending meetings of the school’s Board of Directors.

“I was very impressed,” said Bannerman whose son enrolled at Global Scholars last year. “To achieve those kinds of gains in one year’s time, you jut never see that in schools.”

Bannerman attributed some of the success to the school’s extended-day program where students who are struggling in a subject can get the extra help they need and also take enrichment classes such as culinary arts and chess.

But he said the high expectations set by Jowers are key and infectious.

“Because his expectations are high, it raises the expectations of the kids,” Bannerman said.

City of Medicine Academy achieved the second highest level of academic growth of all schools in North Carolina. The only school to grow more was a school that only had ninth grade students.

What does this mean? Academic Growth is a measure of how far a student came in a year, regardless of where they started.

CMA students not only performed well academically; they made even more progress in a year’s time than they were expected to! By exceeding growth, CMA has exceeded the typical rate of academic growth of students for the state overall.

COLLEGE PARTNERSHIP

Duke, NCCU join forces for medical research Story by Ray Gronberg // Photo courtesy of Durham Convention & Visitors Center

Duke University is putting $1.9 million into a partnership with two institutes at N.C. Central University that campus leaders on both sides hope will fuel joint medical research projects and the chance for students at NCCU to gain training and certificates in how to conduct clinical research.

tune of about $1.9 million. A measure of how seriously it’s regarded by Duke is that the institute’s officials pursued the deal without being certain of securing future grant support for it, said Faye Calhoun, interim director of what NCCU calls the BRITE program.

“What I learned is that grant or no grant — grant or no grant — we want the project,” Calhoun said, recounting what she heard from Duke officials in talks that began nearly a year ago. “Now that’s progress. That’s a milestone.”

“What we were looking for was partnership,” Calhoun said.

“And that means, if we have a research project, that means ‘joint.’ Joined. Join together with a strong agreement on the roles and responsibilities because if you fail, I fail. And it’s got to be a feeling of that.”

Washington touted the project’s potential community benefits, which will include the organization of an annual “health equity conference” in Durham.

On the research end, the idea is to marry the BRITE program’s focus on drug development and the Biomedical/ Biotechnology Research Institute’s work on understanding why some diseases hit minority groups harder with Duke’s strengths in patient-centric, clinical research. A portion of Duke’s money will fund pilot-stage research projects.

The schools rolled out the agreement last month, with NCCU Chancellor Johnson Akinleye and Duke Chancellor for Health Affairs Chancellor Eugene Washington signaling their support for a deal initially negotiated between the directors of Central’s Biomanufacturing Research Institute and Technology Enterprise (BRITE) and Duke medical school’s Clinical & Translational Science Institute.

It’s “supposed to produce a partnership around developing careers in research,” said Ebony Boulware, director of the Duke institute. “There are scientific strengths N.C. Central has that Duke doesn’t have. They’re complementary.”

A committee that includes Duke, N.C. Central and industry representatives will plan the curriculum, said Steve Grambow, director of the Duke School of Medicine’s clinical research training program.

The schools also intend to set up internships at Duke for a limited number of the students who earn the certificates, he said.

Funding-wise, Boulware’s institute is backing the effort to the

everythingdurham.triangle.com

That also ties into the training angle, as the two schools intend to create a degree-supplementing certificate for NCCU students, a course sequence they can take to obtain and show they have the mathematical and scientific skills for clinical research.

JOURNEYS OF FAITH

New bishop takes helm of regional Episcopal Church Story by Dan Kane // Photo by Bernard Thomas

N

early 55 years ago, a young Sam Rodman stood before the priest at a west Massachusetts Episcopal church with a younger sister on the left and an older one on the right as they were baptized before the congregation.

Rodman was just 4 years old, but the sense of community and goodwill he felt stayed so strongly with him that he drew a sense of purpose in the church.

He became a deacon, then a priest and eventually the acting chief of staff for the Massachusetts diocese.

Last summer, Rodman, 58, was back before another Episcopal leader, taking another step in his now lifelong spiritual journey. Dressed in a simple white robe,

with a white rope serving as a belt, Rodman stood at the front of Duke Chapel before the leader of The Episcopal Church, who asked the 1,000 congregants in attendance if Rodman should be ordained the bishop for the central North Carolina diocese that includes Charlotte, Greensboro and the Triangle.

“That is our will,” they said in unison.

“Will you uphold Samuel as bishop?” said the leader, Presiding Bishop Michael Curry, who had led the diocese for 15 years. “We will,” they boomed.

And shortly after, Rodman was consecrated as the 12th bishop for a diocese with 50,000 members spread across 111 congregations and 10 campus ministries in 38 counties. He was handed a series of attire reflecting his new role: the stole (shawl), chasuble (an —The Rev. Gayle Harris outer vestment kind of like a poncho without a hood) and mitre (a tri-topped hat).

“Sam sits and talks eye to eye, heart to heart.

It’s like he’s talking to Queen Elizabeth II or Pope Francis or Jesus himself.”

He told the congregants of a quip he made when asked whether the promotion would change him: “I said, ‘No, I’ll be the same person with a bigger hat.’ ” The Rev. Samuel Rodman, left, awaits the procession of his ordination and consecration with the bishop of the Diocese of Massachusetts, Alan Gates, in the Duke Divinity School in Durham.

everythingdurham.triangle.com

But he then said the outpouring of support at his consecration touched him deeply, and he anticipated he would grow as a leader as he got to know the diocese.

36

“I have a feeling that there’s going to be a whole lot of shaping going on,” he said.

The 150-minute ceremony combined the serious with the self-effacing. It opened with bongo drums and a dancer in red, twirling a chiffon-like shawl as she pranced up the aisle, then transitioned into heavy organ and horns as scores of clergy dressed in white robes entered the chapel. They were seated so that they created a white cross amid the congregation.

The Rev. Gayle Harris, a bishop suffragan from Massachusetts, gave a rousing sermon. She told the congregants that all people grapple with their materialistic and spiritual selves, but Rodman is focused on the spiritual at a time when much of society feeds the material.

She spoke of how in the streets of Boston, Rodman would go out of his way to engage with homeless people.

“Sam sits and talks eye to eye, heart to heart,” Harris said. “It’s like he’s talking to Queen Elizabeth II or Pope Francis, or Jesus himself.” She warned him that there will be days as a bishop that will be like “putting pantyhose on an octopus.”

Congregants said they found the ceremony engaging and uplifting.

“It was a glorious service,” said Emery Anderson, 67, who attends St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Cary. “It’s really inspiring to see the whole of the diocese assembled in one place to support a new bishop as he begins his ministry. It’s a wonderful feeling of unity.”

ev. William Daye, founding pastor of Peace Missionary Baptist Church, was honored for 43 years of service to the church recently. Daye retired earlier this year and named new pastor Rev. D. Gregory Ceres.

“When people think of me I want them to think that I have been honest and straight forward and that I have not taken advantage of the church or people. I have tried to treat people like I would want to be treated,” Daye said. His pastoral career spanned 57 years and he served at six other North Carolina churches.

In 2015, Daye talked to The Herald-Sun about answering the call to preach and preparing sermons. He said then he didn’t need a week to write a sermon.

“If you just give me the Bible and 10 minutes, I can give you a 30-minute sermon,” he said. “The membership teases me: ‘You’ve got four lines on that piece of paper and are preaching 30 minutes.’ I remember because it’s in the computer,” Daye said, tapping his head.

Daye told the church he has no elaborate plans for his retirement other than caring for his wife and doing a little traveling. Daye, 88, has been married to Nora Daye for 64 years.

urham has been known as the place to go for medical treatment since Watts Hospital was built in 1895 by philanthropist George Washington Watts for white people and Lincoln Hospital and the Watts Training School of Nursing were founded in 1901 to treat patients and prevent disease in the African-American community by Durham’s first black physician, Dr. Aaron McDuffie Moore, also a successful businessman with John Merrick and Stanford Warren on Parrish Street, Durham’s Black Wall Street.

ed money to build Lincoln Hospital, and the Duke Family were patrons of Lincoln Hospital as it grew in size and changed in location until it and Watts Hospital closed in 1976 and patients transferred to the new Durham County General Hospital, now Duke Regional Hospital, part of the growing family of Duke University medical and research facilities today.

proposed the creation of the state’s first four-year medical college, Duke University, to educate students in conjunction with clinical services provided at Watts Hospital (sour: wikipedia.org). Duke created a $40 million endowment in 1924 with some of it directed to fund the transformation of Trinity College. Duke Hospital opened its doors on Duke’s West Campus in 1930.

And while the hospitals’ reputations were growing over the past 100 years, so were the pharmaceuticals that patients wanted. Before founding Lincoln Hospital, Dr. Moore founded The Durham Drug Company in 1895 to provide affordable drugs to the African-American community and give young black pharmacists an opportunity to practice.

Triangle YMCAs The Reverend Mel Williams is a retired pastor from Watts Street Baptist Church. The 74-year-old has been a Y member since 1969, joining when he worked at Pullen Baptist Church in Raleigh. He joined the Lakewood Y in 1988 and has been working out three or four times weekly, usually 25-30 minutes on the elliptical trainer and 20 minutes lifting weights and stretching on a mat.

“I find the YMCA not only a great place to work out, but a place of community, where people get to know each other across lines of ethnicity, class and religion,” Williams said.

One of those is Elder Billy Nicholson of the Church of God in Christ. Nicholson works out five days a week at the Lakewood Y. He always works on the elliptical trainer “because it is the one machine that doesn’t aggravate my knee – it’s had surgery.” He also works out on the back extender machine to strengthen his back muscles. Nicholson has been exercising at the Y since the 1980s, except during a time of sickness in 2011-2012. “I came back to the Y in 2013 and been here ever since,” Nicholson says.
