The initiative for African American Males (iAAM) held its first community forum titled “closing The Gap in Black Male Achievement From cradle To 5th Grade” on Monday, oct. 19, at the enterprise Banquet and conference center, 1922 Martin Luther king Blvd. in Winston Salem. it is the first part of a four-part series.

The forum – which was supported by WinstonSalem/Forsyth county Schools, The Ministers’ conference of WinstonSalem and vicinity and Forsyth Assistant Principals Association – was held to inform the community of the educational gap that the AfricanAmerican males in the

county and state. in recent years, those numbers have improved drastically. Since 2011, the student growth rate at Atkins has exceeded expectations.

Joseph childers, principal at Atkins, has seen the school and its students grow since he took over in 2010. during a recent school board meeting, childers said he was very proud of his students. “it’s a real honor to be presented with this award,” said

closed detention center site to house center for adjudicated youth

Forsyth county’s youth detention center closed Sept. 30, but the site is expected to house a new center for adjudicated youth starting next year.

been accused of a criminal offense or are adjudicated pending court action. Built in 1962, it housed juveniles from Forsyth and other counties. county commissioners voted to close it as a costsaving measure.

The State, which decides where to send juveniles, is sending most Forsyth county juveniles to the Guilford county Juvenile detention center, but there are circumstances, for instance co-defendants that need to be separated, in which juveniles

aren’t sent to the closest detention center.

Though the county pays for the youth to be housed in other counties, it’s still cheaper than operating a detention center. of the 14 youth detention centers in the state, only three, including Guilford’s, are now run by counties and the rest are run by the State.

rate on the need for change in the statistics as well as possible reasons for the state of African-American children in the community “I just felt the community really needed to know what was going on, and we need to put our resources together to help change the outcome for our AfricanAmerican males,” said Lakeisha Hill, assistant principal of Main Street Academy and founder of IAAM. She said she was motivated to organize the event because she wanted to go beyond the socio-economic aspect of the achievement gap for black children versus children of other ethnicities and examine the issue of race as a factor as well as to not ignore the data supporting her concerns.

The Rev. Terrence Hawkins, associate pastor of Winston-Salem First church and community organizer through Love Out Loud said, “I am here today as a concerned citizen, a concerned Christian, a community organizer and a parent.”

He went on to say, “There’s much work to be done, unfortunately the next generation is inheriting the problem, but we have to push on and do as much as we can so they can flourish.”

Hawkins was also a panelist at the “Ties that Bind Protestants in Conversation” event the day before.

“Tonight, I was initially frustrated because it seems as though when we always come together and have these types of gatherings or workshops, they always bring out these statistics

and numbers that are not always the reality,” said Nakida McDaniel, a concerned parent in the crowd.

She wanted to hear what changes were going to be made instead of the same rhetoric said time after time at events such as this.

McDaniel also said, “We have to think outside of the box with the things we are doing and address institutional racism in the schools, and we cannot continue to ignore that.”

Carrie Woods, member of Through Unity Reformation is Nevitable (T.U.R.N.), expressed her concerns to the audience as well as introduced her organization to those who are in need of tutoring assistance as well as enrichment services for parents and children in the community.

The evening was concluded with questions and

comments from the audience. Many provided possible solutions for the black youth of the community in order to stem the decline of the black male in the educational system as well as immediate opportunities for youth to find educational assistance such as tutoring and subsidized S.A.T. prep courses.

One audience member summarized the feelings of many by simply stating “It does take a village to raise a child, but what happens when that village is designed to break a child.”

The Forsyth County Youth Services Center is now closed and will be replaced by a center for adjudicated youth in January.

Center

from page A1

is now in a nominal lease with the County, which owns the property, to turn it into a center for adjudicated youth, which will be run by the nonprofit Methodist Home for Children and is scheduled to open in January.

Also in the planning stages is the State turning the former group home on the property into transitional/reentry housing for juveniles.

Assistant County Manager Damon Sanders-Pratt said that as the county was looking to end its detention center, the state was looking for someplace to house new juvenile services.

“As we were talking to the State about gearing down our program, that they’re no longer sending Forsyth County youth to our youth detention center and making other arrangements, at the same time the state was also putting out proposals for this crisis bed center for post-adjudicated juveniles and had an interest in a transitional facility,” he said.

According to Diana Kees, with

File photo

the Communications Office of the N.C. Department of Public Safety, the new assessment and crisis center will be for youth who need a temporary out-of-home placement to stabilize their behavior. It will have eight beds for Level II and high-risk Level I adjudicated youth in a 19-county area of the Piedmont (Level I are misdemeanor level offenses and Level II are youth with multiple adjudications).Youth will normally stay there up to 14 days and can stay a maximum of 30 days.

“The center will provide an opportunity to determine effective interventions for each juvenile – matching their risk and needs with existing department and community resources – to reduce further court involvement, promote stronger families and to assure safer communities,” Kees said in an email.

Methodist Home for Children is a Raleigh-based 501(c)(3) that started in 1899 as a traditional campus-based orphanage and now provides a multitude of services for youth throughout the state. The organization operates five multi-purpose and transitional homes for juveniles in partnership

with the N.C. Department of Public Safety and will be opening another assessment and crisis center in Granville County.

The new center in Forsyth is expected to have 18 employees.

Methodist Home for Children is currently hiring employees, some of whom were staff at the detention center, like Director Sharon Singletary, who will be the director of the new center.

According to Forsyth County Human Resources Director Shontell Robinson, the youth detention center had 19 employees, seven of whom got new jobs with the county. Eleven were eligible to get severance packages and three left county employment. The county doesn’t keep track of if employees found jobs with other employers.

The move to close the center prompted four judges who serve in juvenile court to write a letter to the county commissioners last year expressing concern over the move, including the hardships it puts on parents to visit their children in another county.

The Chronicle apologizes for some errors made in a story written by Tevin Stinson in SportsWeek of The Chronicle on Oct. 15.

The article, with the headline “Sports analyst Jalen Rose hosts first Champion Day fashion show,” stated that employees had the chance to win items not sold in the U.S. In fact, the items not sold in the U.S. were only for display. The article also misquoted Chyna Broadnax, who is the manager of communications for HanesBrands.

She says she did not say that employees were shopping for themselves and family nor did she give a quote about raffling items sold abroad.

Also, The Chronicle apologizes for some errors made in a story written by Tori P. Haynesworth.

Habitat for Humanity of Forsyth County dedicated its new campus, with Habitat International CEO Jonathan Reckford participating, on Tuesday, Oct. 20, at 1023 W. 14th St., Winston-Salem (near the corner of 14th St. and University Parkway).

Habitat moved its offices and warehouse to the location to be among the communities it serves. Since 1985, Habitat has built, renovated or repaired 140 houses in the Boston-Thurmond neighborhood in which the campus is located.

There was a ribbon-cutting for the new offices and expanded classroom space (the Kate B. Reynolds Charitable Trust Housing Education Center). Within the construction warehouse, there is a new training tool for Habitat homeowners and others in the communities in which Habitat works – a cutaway house with modules on wheels that can be used to train homeowners on maintenance and simple repairs such as repairing leaky faucets and unclogging toilets.

Also, Habitat Forsyth celebrated the beginning of construction of the Jimmy Johnson Volunteer Service Lodge, which will be built on a site next to the offices and warehouse. The 4,000-square-foot lodge will house up to 40 volunteers at a time in bunk-style sleeping quarters, a common living area and a kitchen. It is being built primarily for the teams of college students who travel each year to Winston-Salem to work on Habitat homes.

Habitat Forsyth, which is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, has helped close to 400 families in Forsyth County attain the dream of having safe, quality, affordable housing.

Journalist Joy-Ann Reid delivers first Wells lecture T H E C H R ON I C LE

A 4 O C TO B E R 2 2 , 2 0 1 5

MSNBC national correspondent takes part in weeklong WFU residency

BY TEVIN STINSON THE CHRONICLE

Joy-Ann Reid, MSNBC national correspondent, took part in a weeklong residency hosted by the Anna Julia Cooper Center at Wake Forest University (WFU) the week of Oct. 12.

Melissa Harris-Perry, director of the Anna Julia Cooper Center, said she was excited to have Reid deliver the first Ida B. Wells lecture for the center.

“The center is especially honored to welcome Joy Reid as our inaugural Ida B. Wells expert.” said Harris-Perry, who hosts a weekend show on MSNBC. “Reid’s work and career reflect the impactful intersection of journalism and advocacy that Wells herself maintained. We have no doubt that Reid will raise issues of critical inquiry that will challenge our community in ways that will resonate long after her residency.”

Before delivering her lecture titled, “The Myth of Objectivity: How The Media Quest For ‘Fairness and ‘Balance’ Biases Coverage Against Out-Groups,” on Oct.

14, Reid spoke to The Chronicle.

Over the years, Reid said she has not been afraid to voice her opinions on race relations in this country. In her new book, “Fracture: Barack Obama, The Clintons and the Racial Divide,” Reid traces the makeup of the Democratic Party from the Civil Rights days to the Obama presidency.

“When I started writing the book, it was 2013. I was doing a lot of thinking about the history of the Civil Rights Movement and the 1960s,” said Reid.

“I was also doing a lot of thinking about what President Obama has dealt with while in Reid office when it comes to issues of race.”

During the time Reid started writing the book, many Americans assumed that Hillary Clinton would run for president in the election, so she decided to pull all those together. The book examines the complicated relationship between Barack Obama and Bill and Hillary Clinton, and their various approaches to race issues.

“I really wanted to write a book just about 1964, but I wasn’t going to get away with that,” said Reid. “So I decided to

College and high school students who host blood drives during their winter break could win scholarship money from the America Red Cross.

The Leaders Save Lives program from the American Red Cross is offering the chance to win scholarships for students who hold blood drives between Dec. 15, and Jan. 15, 2016.

include information about the upcoming presidential election.”

During here weeklong stay on the campus, Reid engaged with students and community members, shared expertise with faculty, and was a guest teacher for a number of courses. The residency was named after Ida B. Wells-Barnett, who was an

African- American journalist and activist who led an anti-lynching crusade in the United States in the 1890s.

The Anna Julia Cooper Center supports, generates and communicates innovative research at the intersections of gender, race and place.

Before joining MSNBC, Reid served as the managing editor of theGrio.com, a daily online news and opinion platform devoted to delivering stories that affect African- American audiences.

When she got the news that she would be delivering that Ida B. Wells lecture, Reid said she was scared and excited at the same time.

“I remember when I first got the news, there was a mixture of intimidation and joy,” laughed Reid. “I was overjoyed to be chosen to deliver the lecture, but terrified at the same time because it had been so long since I had been on a college campus.

I was worried about being able to connect with the students.”

Reid said that she hoped that during her stay at Wake Forest that she was able to pass on information to the students that will help them in the future.

“I think this is a great opportunity,” said Reid. “Any time I get a chance to share knowledge with students that will help them be better journalists, I’m all for it.”

age students to hold drives when school is out.

Almost 20 percent of Red Cross blood donations come from high school and college drives. This makes it difficult to get the amount of blood needed during summer and winter breaks when students aren’t in school.

“We kind of call it our bread and butter,” said Red Cross staff member Lynn Wilkes, who coordinates blood drives in Surry and Stokes County. “We couldn’t meet the hospitals’ needs without the high schools and colleges having blood drives.”

The Red Cross, the

nation’s largest blood collection organization, is giving away six scholarships, along with gift cards, based on the amount of blood collected at the drive. Those who collect 25 to 59 pints will get a $50 gift card and be entered to win one of four $1,000 scholarships.

Those with 60-99 pints get a $100 gift card and will qualify for a chance at a $1,500 scholarship. One hundred or more pints garners a $200 gift card and puts the student in the running for a $2,500 scholarship.

Wilkes said those who host blood drives need to provide a place for the Red

the adults served by The Shepherd’s Center who need transportation aid.

Hemric’s first day of driving will be Tuesday, Oct. 27. Daniel will volunteer half-days, driving recipients to their various appointments before the NCWTS race at Martinsville Speedway on Oct. 31.

“I think this will be a great experience for me as I get to interact with the recipients and gain wisdom from their life stories,” said Hemric, who is competing for the 2015 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Rookie of the Year Award, driving the No. 14 California Clean Power

Chevrolet.

NTS Motorsports is also partnering with The Shepherd’s Center by offering personalized tours of their racing facility as an activity for participants of their Senior Enrichment Center. Participants will be picked up by one of the three-racecar drivers on staff in the company van and taken to the NTS Motorsports facility for a personalized tour. The first of these tours is scheduled for Nov. 3. The Senior Enrichment Center offers life-enriching activities, services and growth opportunities for those who are 55 and older in our community.

One of them was Andrew Cave, a senior at North Surry High School, who held a blood drive at Gentry Middle School in Mount Airy during summer break. He invited friends,

got the word out through local media and even contacted previous blood donors to get them to come out. The drive got 35 pints.

Though Cave didn’t win a scholarship, he plans to hold another drive in January. He’s passionate about the Red Cross, where he regularly volunteers. He first gave blood in March of last year and said after talking to the staff at the Red Cross, he discovered how much he could help people through the organization. He said he’s given 18 units of his own blood

since he turned 16.

“It’s become something I like to do and something I can do to help the community and people who need it,” said Cave.

Approximately 40 percent of the blood and blood products used in the country come from Red Cross.

Registration is open through Nov. 15 for drives held between Dec. 15, 2015 and Jan. 15, 2016. For more information or to register, visit redcrossblood.org/leaderssavelives.

Bike Patrol asking for blankets, gloves and caps for the homeless Visit Our New Website www.WSChronicle.com

BY TODD LUCK THE CHRONICLE

The Downtown Bike Patrol is asking the community to donate new or gently used blankets, gloves and knit caps to help the homeless this winter.

The Downtown Bike Patrol is comprised of 12 officers who respond to calls in the downtown business district. Sgt. Terry Fulk said they’ve given blankets to homeless people who come by their office for years, but last year was the first time they sent out a request to the community for donations.

The community responded in a big way, and about 1,500 blankets were donated. After that success, the patrol is adding knit caps and gloves to this year’s donation requests.

Fulk said the reason why homeless people come by their office asking for blankets is familiarity.

“We’re the people who have the most contact with them,” he said “On a daily basis, we’ll come in contact with a half dozen to a dozen of the homeless peo-

ple. They all know us by name; we know them by name.”

He said the Bike Patrol has tried to treat homeless people as respectfully as possible even when responding to calls about them. He said the patrol has developed a relationship with them based on trust.

Since the patrol comes in contact with the homeless population so much, they have information on shelters and services they can refer them to. On cold nights they do their best to find them a shelter they can get into, but some people, no matter what the weather, will refuse to go to a shelter.

“We don’t want people sleeping out in the public and we know that’s a violation of city ordinance but the thing is, they do,” said Fulk. “And so the reason we give them a blanket is we don’t want them to freeze to death.”

Fulk said a few hundred of last year’s blankets were donated to shelters but the vast majority were distributed by the bike patrol directly. Many who

T H E C H R ON I C LE

receive blankets will come back for another when their blanket gets wet or taken by someone. And it’s not just the homeless, but also those in need who stop by the bike patrol office asking for blankets. Fulk said they’ve had families come by for blankets.

Andrea Kurtz with the 10 Year Plan to End Chronic Homelessness said that the number of people who are homeless in Winston-Salem has remained steady in the last five years. The growth in poverty in Forsyth County hasn’t resulted in a big increase in homelessness, but instead has resulted in more people living “doubled up,” staying with friends and relatives. She said the number of chronic homeless, which is a disabled person who has been homeless for a year or more or who’s been homeless four times in the past three years, is half of what it was in 2010.

Kurtz said the top priority for homeless agencies and activists is to get the homeless into permanent housing, but in an emergency situation a blanket

IRS warns of South Carolina flood relief scams

BY TODD LUCK THE CHRONICLE

The Internal Revenue Service is warning consumers to be weary of scam artists posing as charities that are helping with flood recovery in South Carolina.

“Any time disaster strikes, scammers come out of the woodwork and they try to take advantage of people’s charitable feelings and need to help,” said IRS Spokesperson Luis Garcia.

It’s common after a disaster for scams to emerge with fake charities claiming to do relief work or scam artists attempting to impersonate recognized organizations. The scammers may be trying to get money or personal information they could use to steal a person’s identity. Scams may involve solicitations by telephone, social media, website, email or in-person.

The IRS recommends donating to recognizable, wellknown charities and being weary of charities that use names similar to nationally known organizations. Don’t give out personal information to anyone who solicits a contribution that could be used to steal your money or

identity such as Social Security, credit card and bank account numbers or passwords. For security and tax purposes, donations should be made by check or credit card, not by cash.

Garcia said that it’s common for taxpayers to make contributions and try to claim it on their taxes, only to then find out the charity wasn’t legitimate. Identity theft is also common as scam artists use a victim’s personal information to get credit cards, loans, new accounts or a tax refund in their name.

Garcia said that legitimate charities that qualify for tax-deductible donations can be found using the Exempt Organizations Select Check on the IRS website.

“The bottom line is you want to make sure they’re legitimate and do your homework before you send any money,” he said.

The IRS also warns to be careful of websites and emails that try to mimic legitimate charities.

AAA Carolinas warn of flooddamaged vehicles for sale

SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE

As cleanup from the devastating floods throughout the Carolinas continues, there's a new hazard to consider for used car buyers, according to AAA Carolinas. Buyers need to know how to avoid purchasing a vehicle that may look great, but could be secretly suffering from flood damage.

In many cases, insurance companies total flood damaged vehicles, which are then sold to salvage companies.

However, rather than being disassembled for parts, some of these vehicles end up being purchased by individuals who restore them to operating condition – with varying levels of expertise.

AAA Carolinas warns car buyers that flood-damaged vehicles will often continue to appear in the marketplace for many months following a major flood.

"Fresh paint, new upholstery and that 'newcar smell' can mask flood damage," said Greg Pence, auto buying manager for AAA Carolinas. "While services like CarFax can be a good resource for buyers, the only true way of knowing whether a vehicle has suffered flood damage is to have a certified mechanic

inspect

the vehicle."

The best protection against buying a flooddamaged vehicle is a thorough pre-purchase inspection by a qualified shop such as an AAA Approved Auto Repair facility. One is at 606 S. Stratford Road in Winston-Salem.

Other locations can be found at AAA.com/Repair.

As part of the inspection, shop employees will look for common indicators of flood damage.

Tips on how to spot a flood-damaged vehicle

*Engage your sense of smell to detect any damp or musty odors inside the vehicle.

*Are the windows fogged up? Has the carpet or upholstery been replaced or recently shampooed?

Pull back the carpet at different areas and look for mud, dirt or signs of water stains. *Inspect the dashboard

underside for signs of mud and dirt. This is a particularly hard area to clean. Look under the vehicle for corrosion. It is uncommon to find corrosion in newer vehicles and those that are owned or sold in southern states. *Open all doors, hood, and trunk to inspect for corrosion, mud and dirt or discoloration on the doorframes, hinges and under the weather stripping. Pay special attention to small spaces and crevices that are difficult to clean. *Check all warning lights, window motors, and all electrical components to ensure they are working properly. While a nonworking part alone does not mean the vehicle was flooded, it combined with other difficulties is a cause for concern.

Another good practice that can help prospective buyers avoid flood-damaged cars and trucks is the purchase of a vehicle history report. While such reports don't always catch everything, more often than not they will indicate when a vehicle has been in a flood or been issued a salvage title, indicating a major problem in its past.

Garcia said those who suspect they’ve been approached in a scam should report it to their local authorities. Those who suspect they’ve received fraudulent emails should visit IRS.gov and search for “report phishing” to report it.

City appears cockeyed when helping the homeless

The homeless is coming to the minds of many now that the weather is getting colder. Several nonprofits provide for the homeless year-round in shelters but they do not serve many homeless people.

Those people are on the streets of Winston-Salem without basic necessities such as blankets, gloves and knit caps to keep them warm.

The Winston-Salem Police Department has launched its second campaign to gather gently used or new blankets, gloves and knit caps to help the homeless this winter. During last year’s inaugural blanket drive, almost 1,500 blankets were donated and distributed, said Cpl. Joshua Henry in a statement. “Last year’s drive was so successful that this year we are requesting knit caps and gloves, too.”

The Bike Patrol initiated the blanket drive last year to assist homeless people who, for various reasons, cannot stay at a shelter. “On cold nights they come by our office and ask for blankets,” Henry

said. “Thanks to the generosity of our citizens, we were able to help them last year. We hope to be able to do so again this year.”

This is a noble gesture by the Police Department.

However, why didn’t the department buy the blankets instead of ask residents to provide the blankets?

It’s not clear why the police department has joined the ranks of nonprofits that ask the public to help needy people. Is there not a section of the city budget to help needy people such as the homeless? Do the residents who donate get a write-off for their donations?

Police officers are helping the homeless find warm places to stay. But is anyone helping them find food, or better yet, jobs? Are other city departments helping the homeless in other ways?

The police who help the homeless are being paid by taxes paid by Winston-Salem residents. Then the residents are being asked to pay something to provide homeless people with blankets, gloves and knit caps, whether they are paying to have the gently used items they donate cleaned or are paying for new ones. Nonprofits also are asking residents to help needy people all over the city. What are city officials doing?

Some city officials were complaining about homeless people who live in The Salvation Army’s shelter. The nonprofit wanted to move the shelter across town to a better facility. City officials were some of the NIMBYs (Not In My Back Yard) who yelled, “We don’t want them around us!” Yet, where are the homeless who are getting the blankets living?

Could be in their backyards, after all.

Where is the united front from the city with concern for the homeless and other needy people?

It appears some matters have been left to residents to handle. If that’s the case, why do we need city officials? All Winston-Salem City Council members will be up for re-election next year. The primary elections will be in March. Voters need to start grading the officials now to determine whether they should get new terms or be left out in the cold next year.

On Saturday, Oct.10, the Rev. Dr. William J. Barber II delivered his annual state of the N.C. NAACP address during the 72nd NAACP State Convention. This year’s convention was held in Winston-Salem, which has hosted a number of statesponsored events this year.

Barber’s speech was titled “This is No Time For Foolishness” and focused on the NAACP fight

against lawmakers in North Carolina who continue to pass laws that oppress minority voters and a country that turns a blind eye to the issues that plague the African-American community, such as police violence and racial profiling.

Barber also made strong statements that seemed to be directed at the Winston-Salem NAACP branch. During his hourlong speech, Barber said he should never have to send a state official to look over a local branch.

“I should never have to send a state official to referee any local branch,” said Barber. “We don’t have time to fight among ourselves, not when they are suppressing our voting

Howard

rights, not when North Carolina is the new Selma.”

Although I will admit I do not follow what is going on with other branches of the NAACP, I do know that after hearing Barber’s statements, only one branch came to mind.

Earlier this year, state officials had to be called in to oversee the executive board elections after a number of reported violations regarding the Winston-Salem branch.

Where the annual convention was held would also lead one to believe that Barber was directing his statements at the WinstonSalem branch.

During his hourlong speech, Barber also said he

wanted to see local branches become more involved in the community.

Local branch President Isaac “Ike” Howard and a number of other members of the local branch were in attendance during Barber’s address, and I’m sure they heard his statement loud and clear.

I’m not sure what the plan of action is for the local branch, but after hearing Barber’s speech, I hope the local branch finishes out this year strong and has a prosperous and productive 2016. But, only time will tell.

Barber said it best: “This Is No Time For Foolishness!”

We need to help our children succeed

Students across the nation have Brian L. returned to Pauling school and are fully Guest Columnist engaged in their classes.

Soon their parents can expect to receive a progress report of their child’s academic performance.

Some will be fine, meeting or exceeding expectations for their grade level.

Unfortunately, a significant number will already have fallen behind. Their academic success will be in jeopardy unless someone intervenes. To parents, teachers, administrators and community members, I say that someone is us!

It’s up to us to work as a cohesive and collaborative support system for our children. That will mean holding ourselves and each other accountable to ensure that each student has been taught and has learned the required coursework for their grade level and is ready to advance to the next grade, without remediation, by the end of the school year.

We are expecting a lot from our children, but what, in turn, should our children expect from us?

As parents, students should expect us to be actively involved in their education.

We must ensure the learning-readiness basics are mastered at home: sufficient sleep, on-time school arrival, safe afterschool care and quality homework assistance, provided either by us or someone we find to help, such as a student in a higher grade, a college student, or a nonprofit organization, like 100 Black Men of America Inc., whose local chapters offer mentoring and tutorial programs.

Then we must move to an even higher level of engagement. For instance, we should communicate regularly with our

child’s teachers. Join the Parent Teacher Association (PTA) at our child’s school.

Attend school board meetings. Advocate for the needs of our children, their school, teachers and district. Educate ourselves about the best available education options in our communities, from traditional public schools to nonprofit charter schools.

If students do their part and we as parents do ours, then our children also should expect their teachers and administrators to provide instruction, experiential learning opportunities and school environments that breed and boost success. Our children should expect their teachers to demonstrate that they believe that all children can learn at high levels. When some children fail to make the grade, they should expect that their teachers and school staff won’t let them flounder, but use proven intervention strategies to get them back on track.

Our children should expect their teachers to be capable and well-trained professionals who teach in compelling and creative ways.

Our students should also expect the

Debate swirls about screening for prostate cancer Armin Brott

Guest Columnist If you ask Bernie Wooden, he’ll tell you straight out that a simple blood test saved his life.

The test in question is the PSA (for prostate specific antigen) and Wooden, a 68year-old African American man living near Washington, DC, had been getting it done every year.

“My doctor had been comparing my PSA levels from year to year,” he says.

“After one of my physicals he calls and tells me that the levels had gone up since the year before, and he referred me to a urologist.”

The urologist ran some tests, took several small tissue samples, and found seven cancerous tumors.

Bernie Wooden’s story is hardly unique. The PSA used to be given to men fairy routinely. And men around the country – and the world – believe they’re alive today because their doctor noticed a sudden increase in their PSA levels.

But in 2012, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) issued a recommendation against doing PSA screening for prostate cancer, saying that the harms of the test outweigh the benefits. That recommendation ignited a huge – and not always civil – debate among people who work in men’s health.

Some supported the USPSTF recommendation, saying that prostate cancer typically grows very slowly and men are more likely to die with prostate cancer then from it, the PSA test

leads to over diagnosis, and an abnormal PSA test could drive a man to pursue unnecessary treatment or surgical procedures.

Side effects, many of which are permanent, include urinary incontinence, erectile dysfunction, and bowel dysfunction.

Proponents of the PSA test point out that prostate cancer is the most common non-skin-cancer in men, and that while some prostate cancers are slow developing, others are extremely aggressive.

They also note that only healthcare professionals can order surgery or other treatments and that not having PSA measurements removes an important data point that could help men and their providers assess the patient’s risk, evaluate all of their options. In some cases, including Berne Wooden’s, that treatment plan might include medical procedures such as radiation and surgery. For others, the best approach is to simply “watch and wait,” also called “Active Surveillance.” In either case, the decision is made by the patient, his family, and his doctor.

More accurate diagnosis techniques are helping.

When evaluating the risks versus rewards of a particular health screening, experts often look at the number of patients who would have to be screened in order to save one life.

For prostate cancer, that number used to be very high. However, thanks to more accurate diagnosis techniques and looking at the impact of screening at longer time points, the ratio of screenings to lives saved is now in the same range for prostate cancer as it is for breast cancer. And

while the Task Force recommended fewer mammograms for women, they didn’t go as far as recommending that they not be done at all.

The big question is whether getting a PSA test will help men live longer.

According to the USPSTF, “the precise, long-term effect of PSA screening on prostate cancer–specific mortality remains uncertain.” Dr. Steven R. Patierno, a professor at the Duke University Medical Center and Deputy Director of the Duke Cancer Institute, agrees that more research is needed, but he disagrees with the recommendation against using the PSA screening at all.

New studies are already showing that, as a result of the USPSTF’s recommendations, fewer men are being screened for PSA, and there is significant confusion among Primary Care Physicians about whether or not to recommend screening to their age-appropriate patients. Using other tools, doctors are still able to diagnose prostate cancer.

The biggest concern is that, instead of catching the disease before it becomes symptomatic, they may now start seeing patients for the first time in a later state of the disease or who have already developed severe symptoms.

“If they wait until they have blood in their urine before they come in,” says Patierno, “at that point, treatment options are more limited.”

There’s no question in Bernie Wooden’s mind that he would have been one of those men. He had none of the traditional symptoms of prostate problems: he wasn’t getting up multiple times at night to urinate; he didn’t have blood in his

support of people in their communities, even those without school-aged children, because these students are destined to impact the community through their positive contributions or negative degradations. Visit a local school and ask how you can volunteer. Partner with a local school and offer your services or the expertise and resources of your company or organization. Serve on a local school council. Get involved as a tutor, mentor, guest speaker or member of a booster club. Stand with school boards and policy-makers to advocate publicly for high-performing schools and better teacher evaluations and student assessments. All are vital ways community members can support our students’ overall success and make a difference in their lives.

We at 100 Black Men of America Inc. know that our children are more than capable of being academically successful. Let’s provide access to educational opportunities that equip students to be competitive.

urine; he wasn’t overly tired or thirsty; he didn’t have erectile difficulties. In fact, he felt just fine.

Without those regular PSA tests, his cancer might not have been detected until it was too late.

So what should be done?

One problem with the Task Force’s recommendation is that it didn’t adequately take into account high risk individuals, including African American men as a whole and any man who had a close relative (father or brother) who died of prostate cancer.

For Patierno, the big issue with the PSA isn’t over screening or over diagnosis.

“It’s what you do with the information once you have a suspicious finding.”

His own recommendations are generally in line with those published in 2015 by the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN).

Men who are in a highrisk group (African American, family history of prostate cancer, or confirmed BRCA1 or BRCA2 genetic mutation) or who are interested in screening should get a PSA test and

and provide proper interventions and support systems. We will demonstrate our unwavering belief in our students by working side by side with other concerned parents, teachers, administrators and community members throughout the school year.

Let’s put our children’s needs before politics and make our nation’s schools the best they can be, so all of our students can become the best they can be.

digital rectal exam at age 40. Those will be a baseline for future tests. If the PSA is 1 or greater, the patient should receive annual follow-ups. If the PSA is less than 1, the patient should have a follow-up screening at age 45.

All men 50 and over should have PSA screening, with the frequency guided by PSA levels.

Increasing evidence indicates that if the PSA level is less than 1, the chance of dying from prostate cancer is negligible. But if it’s between 1 and 3, the risk is much higher. Those men should get “active surveillance,” which means regular PSAs (usually no more than once every six months) to track whether or how quickly the disease is advancing. The only way to do that is if you have a baseline test. Increasingly, Active Surveillance protocols include more sophisticated imaging methods of detecting prostate cancer and distinguishing aggressive from indolent prostate cancer.

As a diagnostic tool, PSA testing is most effective for men 55-69. Older men (over age 75) or those with a life expectancy of less than 10 years should probably discontinue PSA screening.

If the results of the PSA concern the healthcare provider, it’s time for a heart-to-heart to determine the best course of action.

The first step will undoubtedly be to confirm the PSA results with a digital rectal exam (DRE), MRI, ultrasound, or, in some cases, a biopsy.

As far as treatment, in many cases, it starts with active surveillance.

Beyond that, “we’re getting more and more sophisticated in our ability to identify whom to treat, whom not to treat, and what treatments to choose,” says Patierno.

Bernie Wooden suggests that if a man is referred to a urologist or other specialist for additional tests, he take a relative or close friend along.

“After the doctor said the word ‘cancer,’ I didn’t hear anything else,” he says. “Fortunately, my wife was paying close attention and she was able to fill me in after we got home.”

Help youth through Boy Scouts, former coach says People representing various churches attend the meeting.

BY TORI P. HAYNESWORTH FOR THE CHRONICLE

A meeting was held at the Old Hickory Council on Tuesday, Oct. 20 at 6600 Silas Creek Parkway. The mission: urge more Cub Scout and Boy Scout recruits from churches in the black community.

Bill Hayes, former football coach of Winston-Salem State and N.C. Agricultural and Technical State universities, made the message very clear about more churches forming Boy Scout groups.

“Every black man seems to be waiting on the next black man to make the play. I wonder whose responsibility it is for us to save our kids? Whose responsibility it is for us to reach back and save our own kids in our own communities?” said Hayes.

Hayes’ passion is to better the youth in the black communities through Boy Scouts and mentoring young men.

Through research, only five churches have Cub and Boy Scout groups in the Winston-Salem area: Galilee Missionary Baptist, Mt. Zion Baptist, Union Baptist, St. Stephens Missionary Baptist and United Metropolitan Missionary Baptist. A few people who represented those churches attended the meeting, while there were a couple of people from Grace Presbyterian Church and Goler Memorial A.M.E. Church that came out.

“How many churches are here in Winston-Salem?

Three hundred. How many in our community? Well over a hundred. Five scout troops? Come on, we are better than that,” said Hayes.

Steve Wilburn, scout executive of Old Hickory Council, gave tips, and said assistance and resources will be provided to help get a Scout group on its way.

“There was a time when African-American churches in this community had Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts, but it’s been since the 1970s,” said Wilburn. “There’s a whole missing generation in there that has no point in reference with Scouting.”

There were several testimonies of how the Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts have made an impact on young boys and

featured in Where to Retire magazine

SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE

HOUSTON, Texas – Winston-Salem, NC, has been selected as a top retirement destination by Where to Retire, which helps people with retirement relocation decisions.

The city is profiled in the November/December issue, available nationwide on Oct. 13.

Where to Retire Editor Annette Fuller said Winston-Salem possesses qualities important to today’s retirees.

“Founded by Moravians who had impeccable talents in music, architecture and landscaping, Winston-Salem honored that history by establishing the first locally created arts council in the United States in 1949,” Fuller said.

“Today, its continued support of the arts is outstanding, and retirees enjoy the opera, symphony, theater, museums and festivals, and take continuing-education classes at one of the local universities or art schools.

“The walkable downtown has coffee

shops, restaurants and bars, and nearby state parks allow for outdoor adventure – hiking, biking and kayaking,” Fuller said.

Each year, 700,000 Americans relocate to new towns to retire. Generally, relocating retirees are healthier, better educated and more affluent than those who choose to not relocate. They bring significant economic benefits to their new states and hometowns. Nationally, two dozen states and hundreds of towns seek to attract retirees as a source of economic development.

Where to Retire magazine, launched in 1992 with the goal of helping its readers find the ideal place to retire, is published six times a year. The magazine covers the best retirement regions, towns and masterplanned communities, and has a national circulation of 200,000.

The magazine is sold on various newsstands and at Barnes & Noble bookstores.

young men’s lives.

There were others who expressed how important Scouting is, and how it helps the youth in the long run. It was also noted that women could very well be involved with the Scouts program and that this could be a way of having parents being heavily involved in their child’s life.

“You have to have parental support throughout Cub Scout and Boy Scout. And that’s what made the difference in our sons’ lives,” said Reginald Brown, alongside his wife, Joyce Brown, of United Metropolitan Missionary Baptist Church. Reginald Brown is Scout Master.

During the meeting, Camp Raven Knob, located in Mt. Airy, was brought up of how a lot of youth have never been there. There are plans of possibly having a trip to witness the rewards of the camp and all that it entails, to promote a good time and to produce Scout growth.

“Scouting is for everybody. It’s for all kids. They’ve got to have the opportunity, so let’s fight for it to make it grow,” said Hayes.

For more information, visit www.oldhickorycouncil.org. To learn more about how to get involved with forming a Cub Scout and Boy Scout group through church, contact Steven Simpson at 336760-2900, extension 216 or email steven.simpson@scouting.org. You can also contact Steve Wilburn at swilburn@bsamail.org.

Phone numbers in the Triad are dwindling. This has led the North Carolina Utilities Commission to order a 743 Area Code Overlay for the area currently assigned to the 336 area code to ensure a continuing supply of telephone numbers.

The new 743 area code will be “overlaid” over the same geographical area as the current 336 area code so that two area codes, 743 and 336, will be assigned to the area, generally covering the Piedmont, including the cities of Greensboro, Winston-Salem, High Point, Kernersville, Burlington, North Wilkesboro, Roxboro and Asheboro.

Residential and business customers assigned to the existing 336 area code should prepare for the introduction of the new 743 area code by being prepared to dial 10 digits (area code + seven-digit local telephone number) to complete local calls within their area code calling area.

To help customers prepare for this change and ensure a smooth transition, customers may begin placing local calls by using the new 10-digit local dialing pattern starting on Saturday, Oct. 24.

Customers may continue to use sevendigit local dialing until April 22, 2016, when that option will end.

Effective April 23, 2016, all local calls

must be placed using the 10-digit telephone number (336 or 743 plus the sevendigit local telephone number).

Beginning May 23, 2016, customers in the 336 area code region requesting new service, adding an additional line, or in some cases moving their service, may be assigned new numbers using either 336 or the new 743 area code.

The most important facts that consumers and businesses need to know about the upcoming 743 area code overlay are:

743

*Your telephone number, including current area code, will not change, but may if you move your service.

*You will need to dial the area code + seven-digit local telephone number for all local calls. *For billing purposes, what is a local call now will remain a local call regardless of the number of digits dialed. *You will continue to dial 1+ area code + seven-digit local telephone number for all long distance calls. *The price of a call, coverage area, or other rates and services will not change due to the overlay.

Calvert-Hayes to replace Metcalf on school board

By TevIn STInSon THe CHronICLe

W i n s t o n Salem/Forsyth County Board of education has named Lida Calvert-Hayes the person to replace Jeannie Metcalf, who stepped down during a meeting last month after 21 years on the board.

The board called a special meeting on Tuesday, oct. 20, to select a new member to fill the vacant position.

The new member will add to a board that has a number of new members.

Last December the board held an orientation to welcome six new members to the board.

After originally releasing eight names ahead of the interviews, the school board announced they had narrowed the finalists down to four.

When all the candidates

had been interviewed on oct. 20, the members of the board voted by writing their choice on a piece of paper. After a short discussion and two rounds of voting, the board decided on Lida Calvert-Hayes.

Calvert-Hayes is the president and Ceo of S&L Painting and Decorating.

Calvert-Hayes has served on a number of boards in city. In 2013, she ran for City Council but was unsuccessful.

In her application, the single mother of three listed her top three priorities if selected to the board would be; increasing the low reading rates, safety for students at all levels and a higher graduation rate for all students.

During the brief discussion, school board member robert Barr said the fact that Calvert-Hayes raised three children by herself says a lot about the kind of

Calvert-Hayes

person she is.

“Being a single mother of three says a lot,” said Barr. “She also brings a lot of knowledge about construction and other things that could be very helpful to the board.”

Calvert-Hayes will be sworn in on Tuesday, oct.

27.

Board by-laws state that the remaining eight school board members choose the person to fill vacancies between elec-

tions. The by-laws also require that the new member be the same political party as the member who vacated the seat. Metcalf is a registered republican.

Since Metcalf filled the seat for District 2, the board decided that the new board member should also live in District 2, to keep balance on the board.

Besides Calvert-Hayes, the other three finalists were Michelle Craun, Jay Davenport and Tina Heelan. All four were interviewed in public.

During the interviews, each candidate was called one at a time and asked a series of questions about why he or she applied for the position, what he or she would bring to the board, and if their schedules would allow them to give the effort to the board that it deserves.

Candidates were also asked questions about the

budget and how they would balance the needs of everyone affected by the board’s decisions.

Craun is a volunteer at Jefferson Middle School and PTA president at vienna elementary. Craun said she cares deeply about the future of the school district because her children are students in the district.

“Both my children currently attend public school in the district. I care deeply about the future of the school district and how the district can best serve the needs of our students and families,” she said.

Davenport is an associate vice president and campaign director at Wake Forest University.

Davenport has a master’s of higher education administration degree from Ball State University.

In a letter addressed to Ali Tomberlin, general counsel for the school sys-

tem, Davenport said his educational background would make him an ideal candidate for the school board.

“I believe my community service educational background and professional experience make me an ideal candidate for the board,” said Davenport. “I believe my talents and drive would be a valuable addition to the school board and administration of our district.”

Heelan is a business owner as well. In 2013, she founded Winthorp LLC, a realty company in the area.

In the past, Heelan has served as a teacher and principal at public schools.

“I have served as a teacher, coach, assistant principal, and principal for the district,” said Heelan.

“I can offer perspectives that not just anyone can bring to the board.”

Lalah Hathawayto release first live album oct. 30

By TIMoTHy Cox SPeCIAL To THe CHronICLe

WASHInGTon, D.C. — During an interview on Tv one's “news one now” featuring host roland Martin, Lalah Hathaway revealed that she would release her first live album on oct. 30.

"Lalah Hathaway Live" was recorded at the Troubadour Lounge, the same venue where her father, the late Donny Hathaway, recorded his epic, "Donny Hathaway Live" in 1972.

The historic ambiance of the legendary Howard Theater, a D.C. national landmark, provided the necessary quaintness for the uniquely soulful songstress, Lalah Hathaway on Sept. 28.

She upheld her father's legacy as another truly gifted American soul artist. even more, Lalah Hathaway is a musician who comfortably displayed her array of

King

vocals and classical training from Boston's renowned Berklee College of Music.

During the Howard performance, Lalah opened her set appropriately with a tune recorded by her dad, "Little Ghetto Boy." She noted to news anchor Martin that the tune's lyrics aptly coincide with today's times, sadly enough because of current oppressive occurrences that mirror images of inner city America some 40 years ago. on Tv one, Hathaway revealed that "Little Ghetto Boy" was a tune she grew up with, and always wanted to cover.

Thankfully, she's the one who had the nerve and talent to honor her father by providing us with a solid, respectful rendition of this modern-day classic. She purposely sings the tune in the same key as her late father did on his live classic, she revealed to Martin.

Inspirationally, the 105-year-old Howard venue displays life-size black and white images of music legends such as James Brown, BB King, the great Lena Horne and ella Fitzgerald. on this night, Hathaway would mimic the great ella by displaying her gift for scat singing, an art that ella still has no comparisons. But Hathaway captured the essence of this very challenging style of improvisational jazz vocals.

It’s also hoped that someday soon Lalah will release an album that accompanies her father’s vocals, much like the successful duets that natalie Cole did with dad nat King Cole in the early 1990s. The time is just about right for “Hathaway Meets Hathaway.”

In a brief conversation with Lalah's mother after the show, eulaulah Hathaway said that she and Donny met at Howard University, a campus located just minutes

from the Howard Theater, and that both were music majors. "yes, Lalah and her sister Kenya get it [musical genes] from both sides," she said She also noted that first-born Lalah is actually named eulaulah Donyll Hathaway and that Lalah is third in a generation of family eulaulahs. Lalah's grandmother is the original eulaulah, Mrs. Hathaway said younger sister Kenya also studied music at Berklee, sang regularly on the “Tonight Show with Jay Leno,” and serves as a vocal coach for Tv's “American Idol,” according to Mrs. Hathaway. “We’re proud of both girls,” she added.

Carver builds momentum with back-to-back wins JV FOOTBALL

BY CRAIG T. GREENLEE FOR THE CHRONICLE

Carver is on full steamroller mode in junior varsity football.

Coming off a lengthy period of inactivity, the Yellowjackets have shown no signs of rust. That's somewhat surprising when you consider that Coach Alonzo Winfield's team

didn't play for 38 days because of games that were postponed due to inclement weather.

Over the past two weeks, Carver (4-1, 2-0 Western Piedmont 2-A Conference) has dominated the opposition. Most recently, the Yellowjackets posted a 38-13 victory over North Surry on last Thursday.

Phillip Legette got the

scoring party started when he returned the opening kickoff 80 yards for the first of his two touchdowns for the game. The special teams contributed when B. Purnell blocked a punt and Jeremy Brown-Middleton picked up the loose ball and ran it back 50 yards for another score.

A week prior to the North Surry contest, Carver hung a 40-0 whip-

ping on Surry Central. T.J. Boyce and Legette scored two touchdowns apiece in that contest.

After suffering a 30point loss to Greensboro Dudley in the season opener, the Yellowjackets have taken giant strides in establishing a team identity that seems to be a good fit for their personnel.

In a much-anticipated match-up of top contenders in junior varsity football, West Forsyth continued its trek down victory lane. This time, the end result produced a workmanlike 21-6 road victory over Mount Tabor on last Thursday.

The Titans, now 7-0, were held far below their scoring average of 38.2 points per game. In this case, it didn't matter because the defense had its best outing of the season.

West Forsyth kept Mount Tabor off the scoreboard until midway through the fourth quarter.

East Forsyth Eagles comes out winner in

Coach Jared Eure of West Forsyth was elated with the outcome and applauded his team's execution on both sides of the football. Even so, he declined to agree that his defense came up with its best performance this fall.

For the game, the Titans had four quarterback sacks (three by Alexander Garrett) and two interceptions (Davis Bishop and KeAndre Buyna).

“Was it our best? I'm not sure,” said Eure about a defensive unit that gave up an average of 23.2 points over the first six games of the season. “Up until late in the game, we

In most instances, rivalry games tend to bring out the best in teams.

Such was the case for East Forsyth in its 49-30 win over Glenn last week.

The Eagles soared from the very start and finished with 350 total offensive yards and a season-high for points scored in a single game.

It didn't take long for this annual “Battle of Kernersville” to turn into a one-sided affair. East Forsyth bolted out of the starting blocks to build a 21-6 halftime lead and never looked back.

“I'd say we had a thorough night on both sides of the ball,” said Coach Ronnie Horton of East Forsyth, whose team is 5-2 overall and 2-0 in the Piedmont Triad 4-A See Battle on B2

West Forsyth's offense suffered an early setback when running back Mack Duke suffered a lower leg injury on the second play from scrimmage. Duke, one of the team's leading rushers, never returned.

With Duke out of commission, Kenyar McPhatter, who usually splits time in the backfield with Duke, got most of the carries and responded nicely with over 100 rushing yards and one touchdown.

Quarterback Drew Latham took advantage of the Spartans defense, keying on McPhatter and scored twice on short runs in the red zone.

“We've got a stable of running backs, so it was good to see Kenyar step up the way he did,” said Eure. “Drew really came through for us at quarterback. He kept his composure and controlled the game.”

West Forsyth opened the scoring with a sustained drive late in the first quarter. McPhatter scored from two yards out and Christian Kaplan kicked the PAT conversion. The Titans led 7-0 at the half.

Mount Tabor (4-3) had two trips inside West Forsyth's 25-yard line in the first half, but came away empty. As

things turned out, the night proved to be somewhat of an offensive nightmare. In addition to not converting scoring opportunities, the Spartans had two touchdowns called back in the second half because of penalties.

“Not taking care of the small details really hurt us,” said Coach Tiesuan Brown of Mount Tabor. “We were

able to move the ball on them in the first half. But we just couldn't capitalize when we got in scoring position and that cost us.”

The Titans began to pull away in the final minutes of the third quarter with 65-yard drive which featured runs

by McPhatter and Latham along with a first-down reception by Jamon Brown. Latham scored on a five-yard run to put his team up by a couple of touchdowns.

On the ensuing kickoff, it initially appeared that Mount Tabor was back in contention. Matthew Powell reeled an 81-yard return that would've made it a one-possession. Instead, the Spartans were flagged for holding. To make matters worse, they were penalized for unsportsmanlike conduct, which put them deep in their own territory at the 10-yard line.

West Forsyth's defense held Mount Tabor to a threeand-out and forced a short punt. The Titans took over at Mount Tabor's 32, and five plays later, Latham scored on a two-yard run.

The Spartans scored their first and only touchdown with 3:45 left to play in the game. Qumar Price broke at least three tackles on a 79-yard touchdown run.

“Our defense got a little tired and started missing tackles [in the second half],” said Brown. “When you face a team like West Forsyth who has all those offensive weapons, that's what happens when your defense is on the field for too many plays.”

Jaelon Maxie (17) is East Forsyth's leading rusher.

way,” said Winfield. “I'm pleased with our progress. Everyone has bought into what we're doing. We rely on playing strong defense and executing well on special teams.

“Plus, we're going to stick with our running game and we place heavy emphasis on not turning the ball over. Our guys will continue to improve as they gain a better and deeper understanding of how to execute our game plan.”

Defense is the undeniable calling card for Carver. Brown-Middleton and Legette are major components on a stop unit that has grown immensely since the beginning of the season. Over their past four games,

Photo by Craig T. Greenlee

the Yellowjackets have two shut-outs and have limited opponents to 6.3 points per game.

Offensively, Carver typically overpowers defenses with its ground attack.

Boyce does most of the damage as a speed back who can run between the tackles.

Although the Yellowjackets aren't known as a passing team, they do have the ability to stretch defenses. Legette has emerged as an explosive receiver who can go deep, or turn a short-yardage pass reception into a big gain.

Two newcomers have become viable contributors for the Yellowjackets in recent weeks. Cornerbacks David Thorns and D. Dillworth have excelled as dependable pass defenders who also provide depth at wide receiver.

Conference. “We didn't have to punt much at all and the passing game was potent.”

That's a bit of an understatement.

Quarterback Brandon Bullins threw four touchdown passes and Jordan Barrett was on the receiving end of three of those scoring tosses. Barrett finished with four touchdowns, which included a 14-yard run, along with touchdown receptions of 65, 61 and 19 yards.

“Brandon played lights out,” said Horton. “He was really locked in. I'm very hard on him because I know what he's capable of.

Over these past few weeks, he's beginning to meet the high expectations I have for him.”

Barrett (187 receiving yards) wasn't the sole source of offense against Glenn. A.J. Hall caught a 20-yard pass for a score and the ground game didn't take back seat, either. Top

rusher Jalen Maxie scored on a 10-yard run and Jaelon Currence-Daniels broke free at the line of scrimmage and ran 65 yards for a touchdown. The Eagles closed with a heavy flurry by scoring 22 points in the fourth quarter.

Even though East Forsyth delivered as expected at the skill positions, it was the play of the offensive line that set the tenor. The Eagles are fairly young in the trenches, but they held up well in giving Bullins ample time to throw while handling the Bobcats defensive pressure.

As a unit, the front line of A.J. Williams, James Smith, Danny Fradenburg, Tristan Look, Van Boozer, Jesse Ross and Caleb Howell turned in their best performances of the season. Of that group, Howell, Ross and Fradenburg are freshmen.

“We have some young players up front and at times, it's been a struggle for them,” said Horton.

“But they've stayed the

course and now they're much better at taking care of their assignments.

Looking back on how we played against Glenn, I believe our people on offense have come to understand just how good they can be.”

Defensively, the Eagles cannot be viewed as a surefire, lock-down unit based on their stat line. With three games left in the reg-f ular season, they've allowed 23.6 points per game.

While it's clear that the defense is a work in progress, it does have some key pieces that will help East Forsyth coming down the final stretch of the season. Linebacker Nathan Dupke, defensive end Alec Neugent and cornerback D.J. Hodge are the cornerstones.

“The defense did a fine job, especially in the first half,” said Horton.

“They came up with some key stops, which gave us good field position to start our drives.”

Winston-Salem’s first indoor football team makes big announcement

BY TEVIN STINSON THE CHRONICLE

Although the Winston Wildcats don’t officially begin play until 2016, the team had a very productive weekend.

The Wildcats is Winston-Salem’s first professional indoor football team and on Saturday, Oct. 17, the team held its first official open tryout. The tryout was open to anyone over age 18 who has already completed high school.

Less than 24 hours before the tryouts were scheduled to begin, the Wildcats announced that offensive lineman LaVance Ginyard would be joining the program. Ginyard is from Charlotte and is expected to play a big role in the Wildcats’ first season.

The news was announced on the Wildcats official Facebook page on Friday, Oct. 16. The post reads: “We are pleased to announce that we have reached contract terms with another player for the upcoming football camp and season.”

Ginyard is the eighth player to sign with the Wildcats since officials from the AIF League (American Indoor Football League) announced they would be joining the league in late June.

During the tryout, coaches evaluated Wildcat hopefuls while they completed drills that showed their speed, strength and overall knowledge of the game. The drills were similar to drills that NFL coaches use to evaluate college prospects.

The AIF League was started in 2005 and has teams in a number of major cities around the nation, including Atlanta, Chicago, New York and Philadelphia. The Wildcats will compete in the league’s Southern Division, which is the league’s largest division.

John Morris, CEO of the AIF League, said the team and the league will play a major role in the community and will continue to spread indoor football across the South.

The League is expected to add another team in North Carolina in the coming season.

“We feel that with this addition and with the previously announced teams, that the AIF blueprint for league success is further cemented,” said Morris. “We will play a major role in the community and will lead the way for indoor football in the region.”

The Wildcats will hold another open try out on Saturday, Nov. 14 at 9 a.m. Tryouts are held inside the D1 Sports Training Facility, 1901 Mooney St.

Rose gives the people what they want

BY TEVIN STINSON THE CHRONICLE

Most basketball fans know the impact the Michigan Fab Five had on the landscape of collegiate basketball in this country.

In 1991, the Wolverines changed how the game was played when they became the first Division I program to start five freshmen. These were no ordinary freshmen, all five players (Jalen Rose, Chris Webber, Juan Howard, Jimmy King and Ray Jackson) were McDonald’s AllAmericans and each could have been the star on a number of other teams. The five All-Americans also helped to bring a popular “Hip-Hop” style to the court with their long baggy shorts and “in your face” attitude.

Jalen Rose, who played point guard for the Wolverines from 1991 to 1994, may be the most well known and outspoken member of the Fab Five. After playing 13 seasons in the NBA Rose, hung up his basketball kicks and picked up a microphone. Rose is currently a sports analyst for ESPN/ABC. Recently, Rose added author to his resume when his first book “Gotta Give The People What They Want,” hit store shelves on Oct. 6. The book is a colorful collection of stories about basketball and life that will give fans insight and understanding they cannot get anywhere else.

While on tour to promote the new book, Rose made a quick stop in Winston-Salem to host the Champion Fashion Show at the HandsBrand headquarters. During his visit, Rose took time to sit down with The Chronicle Sports to discuss his new book, the Fab Five, The Jalen Rose Leadership Academy and the late Stuart Scott, who grew up in Winston-Salem.

WSC: Thank you for taking the time to sit down with me today. I know you’re a busy man so, I’ll try to keep it brief.

Rose: No problem, thank you for reaching out. It’s always a pleasure to help a fellow journalist.

WSC: You opened the Jalen Rose Leadership Academy in the fall of 2011 in your hometown of Detroit.

Why did you decide to open a school?

Rose: Growing up in Detroit, I was always thinking of ways I could influence the city that had lost a lot of its roots and home-grown talent due to the closing of manufacturing factories, and I felt like I could do that with education. I wanted to bridge that education gap for inner city kids so they could get the same quality education that the suburban city kids get, even though they get less money from the government.

WSC: Its been over 20 years since you left Michigan.

What made you decide that now was the right time for the book?

Rose: You know what, at age 42, you start to mature and you start to reflect. Just like when I did the Fab Five documentary, I wanted to end the story. The next day, whatever happened was like falling on the sword, good, bad or indifferent. I’m just owning it and that’s how I felt about the book as well. To me, once the book hit shelves on Oct. 6, the next chapter of my life began on Oct. 7.

WSC: Everyone knows the impact the Fab Five had on the court, but the team also had a huge social impact as well. Could you tell me a little more about that?

Rose: The social relevance part came into play after we all became brothers. A lot of people overlook the brotherhood that we had back at Michigan. We all made a sacrifice by going to Michigan, and that’s when we first realized that we were all for one. For the most part, we were all from the same type of neighborhoods and we wanted the fans to see us for who we were. That’s why we

Rose: Great Question. Thank you for asking me about him. Stuart was not only a mentor for me, but my brother.

With the catch phrases, integrating Hip Hop, having style and flavor, Stuart was a real game changer. Before he took that chance, our voices weren’t necessarily being heard by the masses.

Play based on book co-edited by WFU law professor debuts A book co-edited by Wake Forest Law Professor Gregory S. Parks and University of Connecticut Sociology Professor Matthew W. Hughey about what it is like to be a black man today in America debuted on the stage on Oct. 15.

Directed by Tony Award-winning George Faison, “12 Angry Men” was presented in the Residence at Kumble Theater for the Performing Arts in New York City. The play is part of a larger event series sponsored by BedStuy’s Restoration Plaza.

The theatrical production is based on the book “12 Angry Men: True Stories of Being a Black Man in America Today,” which was published by The New Press in 2011.

The production continued through Oct. 18 in the Billie Holiday Theater and features the television actors Dulé Hill and Nelsan Ellis.

The New York Times Arts Beat previewed the “12 Angry Men” production in a story about the Bedford Stuyvesant Restoration Center Fall Arts Lineup on Sept. 16

by Andrew R. Chow. “12 Angry Men,” is not to be confused with the well-known play by Reginald Rose, which was also made into a noted film. Instead the book by Parks and Hughey recounts instances of racial profiling and injustice from black figures including former baseball player Joe Morgan and journalist Solomon Moore.

Interfaith WinstonSalem sponsored a forum on “God’s New Day” at the United Metropolitan Missionary Baptist Church at 450 Metropolitan Drive in Winston-Salem. This is the third event in the series “Ties That Bind, Protestants in Conversation.”

The forum was on Sunday Oct. 18.

Interfaith WinstonSalem is an all volunteer nonprofit that works to build understanding among religious and non-religious traditions.

The first event in the series centered around bringing different faiths in the community together to worship God in the wholeness of spirit and the truth.

The second forum focused on understanding individuals within the faith community who had issues that some deem in the church as not normal, and how the church can meet people where they are and let them see the truth of Christ no matter their race, sex or economic situation.

Sunday’s forum, which included a panel, touched on how the truth itself is progressive and how individuals within the church can take the Kingdom of God to each individual and help them to see that God

W-S native witnesses first anniversary of Michael Brown's death

By Felecia Piggott-long, Ph. D. For the chronicle

Michael Brown, an 18-year-old unarmed african-american male, was shot and killed on aug. 9, 2014 by Darren Wilson, a caucasian police officer in Ferguson, Mo., a suburb of St. louis. this shooting prompted demonstrations and protests, which sparked a national behavior contagion in the area and around the nation called the “Black lives Matter” movement. one year later, demonstrations, parades, and a moment of silence commemorated the shooting of Michael Brown. More than 200 returned to the canfield green apartments where Brown was fatally wounded, including Paige Woods, a native of Winston-Salem who is currently working to complete her senior thesis at harvard University. Woods is a 2012 graduate of Parkland high School. a Social Studies/african american Studies major, Woods chose to study the reaction of residents of atlanta to the Michael Brown shooting. therefore, Woods spent her summer in atlanta, but she made her way to Ferguson on the weekend of the Brown anniversary. there were moments of fear and solemnity for Woods. “atlanta reacted. there were marches, a conference, protests, parades, and a day of civil disobedience on Monday. the police targeted the protesters,” said Woods. “they used tear gas and they used the snatch and grab method as a police technique. the police went into big crowds and would snatch and grab protestors and arrest them. they arrested white people also. they would pin point different types of people. Black cops were also snatching people.”

Woods was in the crowd, but she was never snatched. “there were close calls. i did see Dr. cornell West orchestrate a protest with others against the U. S. Department of Justice, and he was arrested. he crossed a police barricade to deliver a letter to the governor. the police would not let them through.”

Woods saw the memorial of teddy bears, balloons, flowers, candles and an emblem of remembrance that Michael Brown, Sr., and other supporters had placed on the street where his son was killed. activists, clergy, members of Michael Brown's family gathered at the memorial to give honor on the anniversary of his death. Woods was disappointed with

how the police destroyed the makeshift street monument. “the police did not value the teddy bear memorial. they kicked the bears and candles and burned the memorial that people had set up.

My goal is to understand how persons ages 16-35 react to such events. these persons are called members of the millennium generation,” said Woods. “it has been said that this generation is selfish and only concerned about us.

Woods But we had many people of this generation to rise up. i want my research to reflect that.”

Woods wants her research to have an impact on the nation.

“There were close calls. I did see Dr. Cornell West orchestrate a protest with others against the U. S. Department of Justice, and he was arrested.”

“there is a way to have impact with my work. i want to publish my thesis and get it out there. it will contain more than 100 pages. it is due in early March,” Woods said.

Woods called her mother Mabel Woods at least twenty times while she was away doing research this summer. “i was in Ferguson for four days, and i talked to my mother everyday. i knew it was important for her to know what was going on because anything could happen,” said Woods. “i wanted to make sure she was aware and as comfortable as possible.

Woods went to Ferguson with four other people who are a part of her research. “they are my focus group for my research. i am studying people from atlanta who are in their twenties. i chose this group because i am a member of that group. i want to understand how they are changing our perception of civil rights today. they are at the lead of the story at this moment,” Woods said.

“She spent too long in Ferguson. it was too long. i prayed constantly for her protection, and i was glad when she arrived home safely,” said Mabel Woods.

Wake Forest Baptist provides Halloween safety tips

T H E C H R ON I C LE

B 8 O C TO B E R 2 2 , 2 0 1 5

SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE

Everyone loves a good scare on Halloween, but not when it comes to children’s safety. On average, the number of pedestrianrelated fatalities among children is doubled on Halloween compared to any other night of the year, according to Safe Kids.

“This Halloween falls on a Saturday, which will result in children staying out later and offer more opportunity for injury,” says Luly Beckles, pediatric injury prevention coordinator at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center.

“It’s important for parents to be aware of possible dangers that can arise from costumes, cars and open flames. Parents can also educate themselves on how to maintain a happy medium for children despite the candy temptation that surrounds this holiday.”

For a trick-free night, Beckles offers these safety tips from the American Academy of Pediatrics.

On the trick-or-treat trail:

*Select costumes that are bright and reflective.

Consider adding reflective tape or striping to costumes and trick-or-treat bags for greater visibility by others driving through the neighborhood. Make sure children and their escorts have a flashlight with fresh batteries. *When shopping for costumes, wigs and accessories purchase only those

with labels clearly indicating they are f l a m e resistant.

Masks can limit or block eyesight; consider nont o x i c makeup as a safer alternative.

M/WBE BID NOTICES Notice to Bidders

*Make sure shoes fit well and costumes are short enough to prevent tripping, entanglement or contact with flames.

*If a sword, cane or stick is a part of a child's costume, make sure it is not sharp or too long.

These accessories if they stumble or trip may easily hurt a child.

*Do not use decorative contact lenses without an eye examination and a prescription from an eye care professional.

Expecting trick-ortreaters or party guests: *Be sure walking areas and stairs are well lit and free of obstacles that could result in falls.

*Keep candle-lit pumpkins and luminaries away from doorsteps, walkways, landings and curtains. Place them on sturdy tables and keep them out of the reach of small children and pets.

*Speaking of pets, keep them safely restrained so they do not jump on or bite a trick-ortreater.

Healthy Halloween options:

*Prior to trick-or-treating, serve a healthy meal so children aren’t as hungry when their candy collection starts piling up. *Know how much candy your child has collected and avoid storage in his/her bedroom. *Let children eat only factory-wrapped treats.

Examine all goodies for choking hazards or any signs of tampering before giving your childfree reign of the loot.

*Provide healthy options for trick-or-treaters such as small boxes of raisins or sugar-free candy and offer non-food treats such as stickers, bubbles or small games. For party guests, offer a variety of fruits, vegetables and cheeses.
