Forsyth Early College team wins debate against banning cars in central downtown

BY JUDIE HOLCOMB-PACK THE CHRONICLE

Despite the rainy day, hundreds of people turned out at the Piedmont Earth Day Fair on Saturday, April 13, at the fairgrounds’ education building. Dozens of attendees were there to cheer on the students from Forsyth Early College and Atkins High School who competed in the 4th annual Piedmont Earth Day debate.

The first round of the debate was held on March 16 at Wake Forest University, where 62 students from six high schools competed. The debate teams from Forsyth Early College and Atkins High School were selected to compete in the final round that was held at the Piedmont Earth Day Fair on Saturday. Representing Forsyth Early College were Aisha Riddick and Michelle Cho, and representing Atkins High School were Ghazal Mizazadeh and Kiran Kapileshwari.

Madeline Coffey, communications and engagement coordinator for Piedmont Environmental Alliance (PEA), said that the Wake Forest University debate club helped coordinate both debates.

Tribute to fallen rapper/activist Nipsey Hussle appears in Greensboro On Thursday, April 11, thousands filed into the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California, to pay their last respects to Ermias Joseph Asghedom, better known as Nipsey Hussle.

Nipsey Hussle emerged on the hip-hop scene in the mid-2000s, garnering comparisons to hip-hop legend Snoop

Dog along the way. After releasing several independent mixtapes in 2018, he released his debut studio album Victory Lap, which was nominated for Best Rap Album at the 61st annual Grammy Awards earlier this year.

Although known for his music, Hussle was much more than a hip-hop artist. He was also known for his generosity and his mission to give back to his Crenshaw neighborhood.

He gave shoes to entire schools, repaved basketball courts, and provided jobs and homes for those in need.

Hussle also invested in an area known as Destination Crenshaw, a milelong stretch of art instal-

lations, and redeveloped a strip mall into a mixed-use property that includes his clothing store, The Marathon. His investment in the strip-mall and his hometown were part of his ambition to break the cycle of violence and crime in the neighborhood he grew up in.

For his commitment to uplift his community and encouraging others to do the same, Hussle was admired by people around the world, including actors, athletes, and countless others. Former President Barack Obama even penned a letter to Hussle’s family after word of his death began to surface.

Less than 24 hours after the memorial service, a

City Councilmember James Taylor takes a photo with residents of the Southeast Ward on Tuesday, April 16. and city council earlier this year. Most of the projects on the Emerging Capital Program will be paid for with $20 million in capacity for other financings such as limited obligation bonds, the 2018 bonds approved by citizens last November, two-thirds bonds, and leftover funds from the Union Station project.

For the past few months city council member and representative of the Southeast Ward, James Taylor, who is also coowner of The Chronicle, has been urging residents of the Southeast Ward to get behind the project and show their support. The plan for the new community center includes the demolition of the existing center, outdoor basketball courts, playground and parking lot.

The new facility is expected to include a gymnasium, classroom and

Street bridge replacement, several recreation maintenance projects, and the replacement of roofs on City Hall and the Bryce A. Stuart Building.

In total, the projects will cost around $33 million.

When it came time to vote on the projects listed, everyone seemed to be on board except for Councilman Robert Clark who represents the West Ward. Before casting his vote against the ordinance amending the project budget, Clark said, “… I could not in good conscious spend $1.7 million in taxpayers’ money to buy a building we do not need and tear it down.”

Councilman Taylor took to Facebook to let residents know about the new community center.

He said, “This is what happens when we stand

dents, serving staggered terms of three years.

Mayor Allen Joines also recognized the 2019 Class of City of Winston-Salem University (CWSU). CWSU is a 12week course which meets once a week. The purpose of the course is to give citizens a better understanding of city government and the various city departments.

Members of the 2019 Class are: Jean Alsup, Bonny Bernat, Shakira B. Bethea, Artenia H. Boyce Kanika Brown, Money Caldwell Cannon, Joe Cassidy, Mackenzie Cates Allen, Mary Clark Jackson, Linda B.

Carver and East High School Academies earn “Distinguished” level recognition SUBMITTED ARTICLE

Carver High School Academy of Hospitality/ Tourism and East Forsyth High School Academy of Finance are among 88 career academies from across the country recently awarded the “Distinguished” level recognition by the National Academy of Finance. This distinction includes academies such as East Forsyth that reached this level last year.

Carver High School Academy of Hospitality/Tourism is joining the ranks for the first time.

This designation is given to a select few who have reached Model level on NAF’s annual assessment, exhibiting strong fidelity to an educational design that prepares students for success in college and careers. Model level is determined by an academy’s score on the assessment, which measures strengths and challenges in implementing NAF’s resultsdriven educational design, followed by an onsite visit to the academy. The virtual visit was conducted in February by a team of qualified leaders, outside experts, and NAF staff to verify that the academy is

meeting fidelity to an educational design that prepares students for success in college and careers. A subset of these high-performing academies meets additional thresholds to reach “Distinguished” level - NAF’s highest level of achievement. The assessment is designed to help all academies assess their progress and move up on the continuum of NAF’s standards.

NAF President, JD Hoye, said, “Congratulations to all of our 2019 Distinguished and Model academies who have worked tirelessly to remain committed to NAF’s educational design and ensure high-value college and career-ready experiences for our high school students. We know that the work will not stop here and look forward to many more contributions to come.”

The Distinguished academies will be recognized at NAF Next, NAF’s annual professional development conference, in Detroit, Michigan, this July.

New Winston Museum continues Salon Series Dr. Herbin-Triant leads open conversation on residential segregation

BY TEVIN STINSON THE CHRONICLE

Last week the New Winston Museum (NWM) partnered with Bookmarks to invite Dr. Elizabeth Herbin-Triant to have a candid conversation about residential segregation and her book, “Threatening Property: Race, Class, and Campaigns to Legislate Jim Crow Neighborhoods.”

The open conversation held at Bookmarks, 634 W. Fourth Street, was part of NWM’s Salon Series, a series of open discussions featuring local historians, artists, writers, musicians, and other specialists. During her visit to the Twin City, Herbin-Triant, who is a history professor at the University of Massachusetts-Lowell, talked about how post-reconstruction laws segregated neighborhoods across the state, including Winston-Salem.

In her book, “Threatening Property: Race, Class, and Campaigns to Legislate Jim Crow Neighborhoods,” Herbin-Triant investigates similar laws across the state.

More than a dozen people showed up for the event nearly an hour early to get good seats. While waiting for the conversation with Dr. Herbin-Triant and 88.5 WFDD producer, David Ford, to start, city native Cynthia Miles said when she heard about the open discussion with Dr. Herbin-Triant, she saw it as an opportunity to learn and share information with others.

BUSTA’S PERSON OF THE WEEK

BY BUSTA BROWN FOR THE CHRONICLE

He’s the heartbeat of Frankie Beverly and Maze

Yes, that’s Frankie Beverly with the white cap on singing his heart out. But this story is not about Frankie; it’s about the Heartbeat of Maze live in concert and how it all happened.

Let’s start at the beginning and then make our way to how Winston-Salem’s own, drummer Calvin Napper, met Frankie Beverly, the legendary silky soul voice of one the greatest bands of all-time - Maze. There was little doubt that Calvin Napper was going to be a superstar drummer one day. He was always fascinated with drums.

“My aunts have stories about me coming to the house and pulling out their pots and pans and then beating on them.

They knew that I was going to be a drummer.” At the age of five, Calvin was blessed with his first drum set and he would pretend he was in concert. That dream came true at the age of 12. “My mom and aunts had a gospel group called The Napper Singers. I started traveling with them.

They were in what is called the Quartet Circuit, so I grew up liking the music. So that’s how I got my start.” Napper said he loved watching other drummers play; his favorite as a child was the drummer for the gospel quartet The Brooklyn All-Stars. “His name was Daryl Evans. When I saw him, I was like, this guy is amazing.”

The dynamic self-taught drummer spent most of his high school years playing in the school’s jazz band and local jazz groups. Over ten years ago, he became the drummer for Greater Church in Winston-Salem, where he’s now the assistant musical director. As Calvin’s career took off, Bishop Sheldon McCarter was very supportive. He credits the experience as a church drummer to his success. “Playing in quartet as a young man is where I got my foundation. It taught me how to play and stay in the pocket. In church is where I learned that the bass and drums are the heartbeat in music and a band.

Playing in church really helps with being diverse with different music and styles.”

He’s a very humble man, which in my 30 years in radio, I’ve rarely seen in musicians with Napper’s long list of credits. He’s toured, played and recorded with gospel, jazz, and R&B legends such as Kirk Franklin, Shirley Caesar, Dorothy Norwood, Donald Lawrence and the Tri-City Singers, Lejeune Thompson, Hezekiah Walker, Bishop T.D. Jakes Potter’s House Mass Choir, CeCe Winans, Rance Allen, Walter Hawkins, Vanessa Bell Armstrong, Karen Clark Sheard, Twinkie Clark, Richard Smallwood, Men of Standard, Byron Cage, Stephanie Mills, Patti La Belle, Mike Phillips, Lonnie Liston Smith, and many more. He’s played with the Grammy Awards house band during a tribute to gospel music. In 2005 he was awarded a Grammy as drummer for Donnie McClurkin’s Grammy award-winning “Psalms, Hymns & Spiritual Songs.”

His career to superstardom came when gospel giant John P. Kee recruited him to tour as his drummer. “That was the gig that put me on.” After touring with John P. Kee, his career took off. The list would take up the entire interview. One of the biggest names is Stephania Mills and that led him to Frankie Beverly and Maze. Here we

If you can catch one of her shows, jump on it. She’s gets down with her band as well. Stephanie’s still got it. When I saw Mills, Calvin was the drummer, the heartbeat of the band. They opened for Maze in Baltimore. “After the show I stayed because I’m a big Frankie Beverly fan.

Carl Wheeler, who wrote the song ‘Anniversary’ for Tony Toni Tone, plays keys for Maze. After their show, we talked. He said you would be perfect for Maze. I would love for you to come out and audition.” Napper said it was a blessing because he was transitioning out of Stephanie Mills band. “It was right on time.”

“About a year later I got a call from the Maze people to come to audition. I was chilling with my wife Keva.

Frankie’s management guy said the more prepared you are, the more Frankie will dig you. He also said you may want to bring extra clothes, because if Frank likes you, he’ll keep you over an extra day or so.”

After the call, Calvin went on YouTube to study Maze’s new and old band and also listened to some live records. He flew to California for the audition and it happened. “He did keep me over and after the second of the auditions, they said welcome to the band.”

I was sitting there in awe, because I’m one of their biggest and most loyal fans. I’ve been to every concert since 1977 and it never gets old. I remember when Patti Labelle opened for Maze and she told the crowd, “I know most of you are wondering why I’m not the headliner. I learned during my first show, you don’t headline Maze.”

Patti puts on an amazing show as well, but she was right; you don’t headline Maze.

Calvin is also a big fan, so when he joined the band, “I was like wow. Is this real?” and he threw his hands

up and laughed. One day during rehearsal he finally met Frankie Beverly. “We were jamming and he came in and walked up to the mic and started singing. I couldn’t believe I was in the same band with Frankie. When he started singing, I was amazed at how rhythmic he was.

His voice was like another instrument. The way he phrases his stuff is crazy. As a drummer, his style of singing makes it easy for you to lock in. He told me he dug the way I played. He said I have those precise drum sounds.”

When I last saw Maze two years ago, I was the MC. After I introduced the band, the drums kicked in and the crowd went crazy. Napper began doing his thing, so I knew exactly why Frankie dug his style. He’s one of the best drummers I’ve seen live. When you see Maze live, along with Frankie and founding member Rome, you’ll see that Napper drums is the heartbeat of the band. “To see the appreciation Maze fans have is like being in church,” he said with excitement. He’s been with Maze for 10 years.

“Frankie is 72 and he’s still going strong. We don’t use tracks, it’s all live,” said Calvin.

I ended the interview with a tough question: If you had to choose a tour between your favorite gospel artist or Maze, who would it be? Napper took at least five minutes before he responded, “Gospel music is my first love, it’s who I am and will always be. So this is tough.” You’ll have to go to our YouTube channel to hear his choice and see more of the interview. Calvin Napper is also a song writer and producer.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Just say no To The Editor: Thank you Local Government Committee of the General Assembly for saying no to HB 490. Hopefully, Representatives Conrad and Lambeth will realize that interfering in local government elections for their personal agendas violates a fundamental principle of a democratic society.

Our U.S. Constitution has a preamble that starts with “We, the people, in order to form a more perfect union …” resonates with the idea of honoring the will of the people. Even our State Constitution has a similar preamble that includes a reference to the Almighty.

HB 518 suggests that a duly elected school board needs an oversight board to approve student assignments. Why did we elect a school board? The perception is cruel and undermining to the decisionmaking authority of the people’s locally elected school board members. Did our local elected county commissioners ask either of these representatives to submit HB 518? I hope that the next committee in the General Assembly will just say no again. We are a government of, for and by the people. Honor the local people’s will and just say no to HB 518.

LeBron has disappointing first season in La La Land

The Los Angeles Lakers will be watching the NBA playoffs from the couch like the rest of us this season. The arrival of LeBron James was supposed to turn around the fortunes of the iconic franchise, but it just wasn’t to be for the Lakers in the 2018-19 season.

Not only did the Lakers not make the playoffs, but they also had to endure the resignation of president of basketball operations Magic Johnson, and the firing of third year head coach Luke Walton.

This could not have been a worse year for James in L.A. Coupled with all the previously mentioned situations above, the most embarrassing of them all has to be the failed trade for New Orleans Pelicans forward, Anthony Davis.

That probably set the team back just as much, if not more, than the injury that James suffered on Christmas Day that kept him out for 17 games.

This year probably went the exact opposite of the way that James envisioned when he signed his four-year deal with the Lakers this summer. To be honest, this year did not go the way I thought it would go for James. I knew switching to the Western Conference would be a more difficult task for James, but to not make the playoffs was not something I thought would happen.

The injury to James was the start of the downfall for the Lakers this season. At the time of his injury, the Lakers were the fourth seed in the West with a 20-14 record. With James out of the lineup, the Lakers went 6-11 leaving their record at 26-25 when he returned. Even after James returned, the team did not fair well, going 4-9 in their first 13 games. They were never able to recover from that hole they put themselves in after that point.

It did not help team morale that the front office publicly offered basically the entire roster in exchange for Davis. That trade did not go through, which probably did not make the young players on the roster feel very welcome. There was no way the team was going to recover from that. For weeks, every time you turned on the television, you would see a report about the trade, which had to be deflating.

Magic Johnson leaving was just the icing on the cake for L.A. That was something that no one saw coming. I felt Johnson was in it for the long haul to see how far LeBron could take the Lakers over the next couple of seasons. I have heard several reports as to why he decided to resign, but no one really knows, except Magic himself. I have read that the main reason for Johnson leaving was that he wanted to fire general manager Rob Pelinka, but would not be able to do so because of his relationship with team owner Jeanie Buss.

Once Magic left, it was only a matter of time before head coach Luke See LeBron on B2

Camels ladies lacrosse team looking to make a name for themselves

BY TIMOTHY RAMSEY THE CHRONICLE

In just their second year competing on the varsity level, the Atkins Camels ladies lacrosse team is fighting to end their season above the .500 mark. That may not sound that impressive to most, but for a team that finished last season without a victory, along with playing several 3A and teams throughout the year, it most definitely is.

Head coach David Hamlin fought hard to bring lacrosse to the fe-

eventually developed an appreciation for the game and what it could provide to his players.

“I had coached girls JV lacrosse at Reynolds for two years,” said Hamlin.

“I knew nothing about the sport, never watched it, but we ended up winning two conference championships there.”

“When I got hired as the football coach here at Atkins, that was one of the first things I asked, would it be a possibility of bringing girls lacrosse here.”

His initial request went

Atkins is just in their second year of playing a varsity schedule inside of a conference.

The Camels only have one senior on their roster, so they project to be a formidable team next season. male students at Atkins.

He already wears several hats at the school, being the head coach for both the men’s football and wrestling teams, but lacrosse was something he wanted to try at Atkins.

Hamlin was introduced to the sport while he was an assistant coach at Reynolds. He had no previous experience in the sport, but

without response, so after two seasons of being the football head coach, Hamlin asked his athletic director again about the possibility of having the team. The men then began to email the state about the program. The state finally relented and the program was born. Atkins had a year of skill building and had their first year of varsity competition in the

2017-18 school year.

“Last year was our first year of being in actual competition in a conference,” he said. “We are in a conference with the likes of Mt. Tabor, Southwest Guilford and Western Guilford. My expectations last season was to just win one game. We came up short on that goal, but we were competitive in a couple of games.”

The thought coming into this season was to win a couple of games, Hamlin said. He felt with the nucleus he had coming back, that would be an achievable goal. The Camels have exceeded his expectations and were 6-5 on the year, at the time this article was written.

“I give a lot of credit to our assistant coaches,” said Hamlin. “We really put a lot on the girls, they work hard and they want-

ed to win. We have two games left this season and if they just go out and play their own game, we have a chance to possibly win both those games. To maybe finish the year 8-5 after going winless the year before would be great.”

The Camels only have one senior on their roster, so Hamlin is confident in how his team will perform next season. His plan is to schedule a couple of 4A schools to see how his girls perform against some of the top competition in the state. Hamlin thought the third year of the program would be the breakout year for his team, but it seems they are a year ahead of schedule.

Next year, the goal is to make the playoffs, Hamlin said.

“The teams that beat us in the conference this year will be the teams we will

wear a chip on our shoulders when we play them,” he said. “Some of the teams are not as good as us, so I tell the girls not to celebrate too much when we beat them, just expect to win.

“We are trying to develop a culture and an environment that there are certain games you expect to win. So, when you win that game, it’s not a bunch of hoopla, we just go back to work and get ready for tougher competition.”

The main reason for Hamlin wanting to start the program at Atkins was to give the young ladies another opportunity to possibly obtain a scholarship to a college or university. He said there are scores of colleges and universities starting up lacrosse programs for women and he wants his ladies to take advantage of those opportunities.

LeBron From page B1

Walton got the axe. Walton has routinely been the fall guy for many of the Lakers woes this year, which is unfair in my opinion.

The C hronicle

He had to deal with a completely changed roster, the mystic of LeBron James, and a myriad of injuries to key players. What more did the team executives expect from Walton under those circumstances?

I’m sure next season

will be a successful one for the Lakers, pending key off-season additions.

It can’t get any worse than this year was.

Good luck.

‘The League’ gets off to good start at W.R. Anderson

Exodus 33:12 - 14 (MSG)

Saturday May 18, 2019

BY TIMOTHY RAMSEY THE CHRONICLE

The adult men’s basketball league at W.R. Anderson, dubbed “The League,” has begun its third season of the spring league. With several returning teams, plus some new additions, The League, sponsored by the Josh Howard Foundation, continues to grow in notoriety and prestige.

With two weeks down in the season, the contenders are starting to separate themselves from the pretenders. League commissioner, Steve Nivens, continues to be pleased with the constant influx of new talent that The League presents every season.

“Things have been going great so far, the atmosphere is good, with good positive energy, and we have been enjoying it,” said Nivens. “Everything has been going pretty much as we expected, but even better.”

Nivens said there are several teams that have gotten off to a hot start.

Right now, he feels there are two or three teams that have separated themselves from the pack.

There have been many teams that continue to come back and play in the spring or summer. Nivens said his goal was to build something that would be sustainable and make teams want to come back year after year.

“I definitely appreciate the teams that come back every season, because it lets me know that I am doing my job and meeting

There are several teams that have had promising starts in The League. their expectations of what the league should be,” he said. “It feels good to have so many returning teams and not just to play ball, but they understand we have that competitive edge and want to win.

“That keeps me motivated to keep me doing what I am doing and lets me know that I am doing it right,” he continued.

It has been a surprise for Nivens that The League has caught on as quickly as has. He says they routinely receive calls from teams and players from outside of the Triad area wanting to join.

“I didn’t think it would catch on this quickly, to be honest,” he said with a smile. “The turnaround has definitely been quick, but my vision has always been there. My expectations and what I expect from The League is to take it further than what it is right now.

“It’s getting pretty exciting, because it seems the word is getting out there.

It’s getting to where we

want it, we are not there yet, but it’s progress to where we want to be.”

As the league continues to garner interest from other locations, Nivens says he has plans for the future, but does not want to spill the beans on how he wants to do that. He said he also might have plans to have a women’s league, based on the positive feedback he has received so far.

“The way the men’s league is going, I definitely want to take this to new heights and see how far I can take it,” Nivens said. “I just want to take the competition level to where they have it up top in New York, New Jersey or Baltimore.

I want to see The League go as far as it can, but I know I have to expand on my end to make it reach those heights. I just have to go slow so that I don’t rush anything or mess up any plans we have in the works.”

Called to proclaim the resurrection

Artist’s mural sparks conversation into a deeper issue

BY TIMOTHY RAMSEY THE CHRONICLE

Carol Ann Krebs is an accomplished artist who set out on a mission prior to her most recent work.

The project was a mural and her goal was to spark conversation about the elements of the piece.

Some may be wonder-

in the people around you.”

“I thought if I keep changing Jesus and he is based on a real person, then any black man you see could be Jesus,” she continued.

Krebs said she felt the mural would have more impact if she based the figures in the painting on real people, because the church

Scriptures: Matthew 28:1-15

By the end of this lesson, we will *Recognize the importance of the empty tomb. *Know that there is a meeting place for all with Jesus. *Commit to sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ with others.

Background: Jesus talked about His death and resurrection with the disciples. There was much plotting and preparation on the part of the religious leaders, Caiaphas and the Pharisees, to try to alter what had been prophesied in the Old Testament. Their intent was to make sure once Jesus was dead, He stayed that way. The extra precaution of a large boulder to cover the entrance of the tomb, along with soldiers to guard it, showed their uncertainty of who Jesus really was.

Lesson: Early Sunday morning Mary Magdalene and the other Mary, who was most likely the mother of the apostle known as “James the Lesser,” met at the tomb and were greeted by an earthquake and an angel. (This is the second earthquake associated with Jesus’s death, the first being when the veil was rent with an implied message and here with a specific message). The earthquake is accompanied by the angel, who rolled away the stone from the tomb’s entrance. The appearance of the angel matches that of most described heavenly beings: “bright in white raiment.” He rolls the boulder away and sits on it (verses 1-3). The Marys were frightened, but the soldiers were traumatized to the point of unconsciousness. While the soldiers are out, the angel addresses the women. “Do not be afraid; for I know that you are looking for Jesus who has been crucified. He is not here, for He has risen, just as He said.” They are then invited to look into the empty tomb for assurance of His absence (verses 4-6). The angel continues with this message: “Go quickly and tell His disciples that He is risen from the dead; … He will meet them in Galilee.” They actually saw Jesus several times before they saw Him in Galilee.

He appeared to the apostles first, then to a crowd of more than five hundred brethren at once (verse 7).

The reappearance of Jesus after His crucifixion was important for His message. The resurrection of Jesus is the necessary end to His teaching and preaching to His disciples and the world. Seeing is believing. The women, Mary and the other Mary, saw the empty tomb and were excited, but when Jesus appeared to them on their way to deliver the angel’s message, their belief was confirmed.

Jesus Himself repeated the message, “Do not be afraid. … they will see me in Galilee.” (verses 8-10).

As the Marys delivered their message, at the same time the soldiers recounted the events of the morning to the High Priest and his group. The religious leaders were panicked and in an effort to control the situation, they paid the soldiers to lie, assuring them that if found out they would back them. (verses 11-15). So then it became a question of whose report will you believe? The point was moot really, with Jesus showing Himself many different times and places; scripture describes at least ten appearances of Christ between resurrection and ascension. After ascension, Jesus appeared to Paul. The next time He appears, it will be in glory. (The UMI Annual Commentary 2018-2019, the MacArthur Study Bible and the Oxford Bible Commentary).

For Your Consideration: Why is it important for believers to share the Good News of Jesus’s resurrection?

Application: Christ met unbelievers where they were. He realized what many Christians today still do not seem to understand. To be effective, we have to be actively sharing the Good News at church, at home, on our jobs and in the community in our daily activities. When was the last time you told somebody about the crucified Christ and the risen Lord?

job I did on the sand, I get a little twitchy. If people are focusing on it only as an artform, they are either more ignorant than they want to admit, or they are uncomfortable and they don’t want to admit it.”

It was surprising to Krebs that many white individuals are not willing to touch on the racial aspect of the mural. She expected that many of her “liberal” friends would be willing to have an open dialogue about it, but was surprised when they did not.

Krebs began her work on the mural in the beginning of August 2018 and finished it in early February. This is the first time she has tackled a project of this size, but was pleased with the overall outcome.

She has other projects she would like to pursue in the future and hopes they continue to press the issue of discussion to bring more equality to people of color and a better understanding from white people.

Carol Ann Krebs painted a mural depicting a black Jesus to spark discussion between the races. ing what could spark so much conversation about a mural. In the mural, Krebs depicted several Biblical scenes, but the most prevalent part of the piece would have to be the black Jesus posted right in the middle of the mural. She also used different races to depict other Biblical characters, such as Mary, Joseph and Noah.

The mural was a project Krebs did for Christ Beloved Community Church, 3205 S. Main Street in Winston-Salem.

She wanted to change the narrative of how black people are viewed or treated in the church.

“The mural started as a much simpler idea, but became increasingly more complex as I worked on it,” said Krebs. “I don’t know that Jesus was black, but I know he was not white, because he was a Jew in ancient Palestine. I figured there were enough white Jesuses running around that even if historically Jesus isn’t black, we need a few to balance things out.”

Krebs, who is white, said she wanted to use visual arts to challenge racism in the church. Her goal was to “affirm people of color in religious art, because they are traditionally not there.” Krebs’ other goal was to “make white people stop and think, because we sort of take things for granted.”

“What I tell people is that maybe if we see a black man as the source of our salvation instead of a threat, it will shift the way we look at things,” she said. “A lot of it originally was just I wanted people who never see themselves on the wall to come in and look up there and see themselves.” She hopes they say ‘I’m beautiful.’

She used real people to serve as models for the characters in the mural.

Her thought was if she used real people, it would inspire us to “look for God

is named Christ Beloved Community and the community is all around us.

Another aspect of the piece Krebs wanted to focus on was the stereotypes about beauty. She used people with different body types to show beauty comes in all shapes, sizes and colors.

“I was trying to get as many ethnicities in there as I could and the imagery in there was all intentional,” she said. “I also wanted white people to look up there to see people of color as holy and divine.”

Krebs and the church decided to go with Biblical images rather than having one scene. She felt it would allow viewers to “see what they needed to see” whenever they looked at the mural.

“I wanted it to meet people’s needs,” she said about the mural. “Part of why I painted it and what I wanted to do with the art was to start the dialogue.

Part of what I have learned in my steep learning curve over the last two years is, when white people get together to talk about race, we talk about ourselves.

“I wanted this to generate conversation and I know what I had in mind when I did it, but I think it means more to the community of color than I realized. I think that white people will look at it and look at it as art, black people will get it as a social statement. I meant it as a social statement, but I don’t know that even yet, because I am white, what it means to different people in the community.”

Some of the reactions from white people to the mural have been interesting and sad, said Krebs.

“To be honest with you, some of the ones that would have been considered more racist reactions, I’m more comfortable with, because we can talk. If somebody comes in and their whole focus is on what a good

Shonta Fleming named assistant director of Samaritan Ministries manager at The Salvation Army and an intensive outpatient counselor at Insight Human Services. She has also worked as a case manager with youth and families with behavioral, mental, and substance abuse concerns, and has advocated for families in local courts and schools for needed services.

Fleming will concentrate most of her time on working with guests to identify their needs and connect them with the necessary resources to get help. She also plays a substantial role in the overall logistics of Ministry operations and coordinating efforts with partner agencies to continuously find ways to serve guests.

SUBMITTED ARTICLE

Willis Miller has been a familiar face to the guests and volunteers of Samaritan Ministries for many years.

He is now enjoying his retirement and Shonta Fleming has been named as assistant director.

Fleming previously served as the Project Cornerstone supportive services counselor for four years. During her time in that role, she provided case management as well as substance abuse counseling for the individuals in the program and the group. Fleming has made a significant impact in the lives of men who have gone through the program, many of whom attribute their success to her support.

Fleming is a Certified Substance Abuse Counselor with the North Carolina Substance Abuse Professional Practice Board. She holds a master’s degree in human services with a counseling specialization, and a bachelor’s degree in human development and family studies.

She has over ten years of experience in working with

Child Care Resource Center announces Children’s Champions award recipients SUBMITTED ARTICLE

Child Care Resource Center (formerly known as Work Family Resource Center) hosted their 9th annual Children’s Champion Award Luncheon on Tuesday, April 2, at Forsyth Country Club.

Child Care Resource Center (CCRC) is a non-profit organization which has been improving the quality of childcare/ early learning environments, connecting parents to quality childcare, and educating parents and the community about the importance of quality childcare as it is intrinsically linked to school preparedness for 28 years.

Two Children’s Champions were honored at the event: Judge William B. Reingold (retired) and Ms. Chris Gentry.

Judge Reingold served as the chief district court judge for the 21st Judicial District of North Carolina. A former prosecutor, he held this highest position on the district court bench from March 1998 to October 2013, and also served as district court judge in Forsyth County since 1986.

During his tenure, he recognized the immense value of education and peer influence, and how individuals - especially young people - can lose direction and eventually end up in court on the wrong side of the law. In response, Judge Reingold particularly focused his efforts in the judiciary upon improving the lives of youth and families, from addressing drug abuse and domestic violence, to correcting truancy and delinquency issues. Judge Reingold is a member of the Chief Justice’s Commission On Professionalism.

Ms. Chris Gentry has served as the director of the Family Support Network of Greater Forsyth since January 2004. This

program offers a multitude of support services to families who have children with special needs, including onsite hospital/ NICU support, parent-to-parent matching, sibling programs, educational opportunities for caregivers, and information and referral services. Gentry has over 30 years of experience serving families of young children with a focus on quality childhood experiences and environments. She has worked in public and private school settings, as well as with North Carolina’s Smart Start Initiative. Her educational background includes social work, pastoral care and non-profit management. Her passion is to see families thrive.

The luncheon explored the statement “Because We Said We Would,” highlighting the importance of individuals, organizations, and communities as a whole keeping their promises to our children.

CCRC presented examples of how they have kept their promises through a story from a parent and a childcare provider.

The parent was connected to CCRC’s childcare search services through their employer, Wake Forest University, who contracts to provide the service to their employees. The childcare provider has received many professional development and coaching opportunities over a 25-year history with CCRC. This event was made possible by the generous support of Salem Smiles Orthodontics, Womble Bond Dickinson, LLP and Forsyth Technical Community College Foundation.

ABOUT CCRC CCRC knows that being a parent can be overwhelming. Searching for childcare

Left to right - Donna Lambeth, Judge William B. Reingold, and Katura Jackson, Executive Director, Child Care Resource Center. adds an extra layer of stress to an already stressful situation. There are over 11 million children in some form of childcare each week in the U.S. Websites like www.

Care.com can provide a list of potential child care options, but parents may not know what to look for or what questions to ask when it comes to “quality” childcare.

That is where Child Care Resource and Referral Agencies come in. These agencies are located in every state, and Child Care Resource Center is the lead childcare resource and referral agency for our ninecounty area (Forsyth, Davie, Davidson, Yadkin, Stokes, Surry, Wilkes, Ashe and Alleghany counties). Childcare searches through CCRC are free because when all children and families have access to quality child care/early learning, regardless of

their income, children are better prepared for school and all communities thrive.

Child Care Resource Center also has relationships with childcare providers in our region and provides them with ongoing professional development and coaching opportunities, so we keep childcare professionals up to date with current best practices that help children reach their full potential. CCRC offers an “enhanced” form of childcare search with employees of companies who contract with the agency to provide the childcare search as a benefit to their employees, which enhances workplaces in our community and increases productivity of employees who have childcare search assistance.
