10 digit-dialing: You ready? W I N S TO N - S A L E M , N . C .

Volume 43, Number 33

BY TEVIN STINSON THE CHRONICLE

This Saturday, dialing only seven digits to call friends or relatives in the Piedmont Triad will become a thing of the past. As of April 23, all local calls made within the 336 area code must be placed by using the 10-digit telephone number. The same dialing procedure will apply to new telephone numbers that will be assigned a new 743 area code as well. According to the N.C. Utilities Commission, the new area code will be introduced to ensure that enough telephone numbers are available for residents in the area.

Cities affected by the change include Winston-Salem, Greensboro, Kernersville, High Point, Burlington, North Wilkesboro, Roxboro, and Asheboro. While the change is expected to go into effect this weekend, a number of people in the area said they didn't know anything about the change when asked if they were prepared. Amanda Jones of WinstonSalem said she was unaware of the change until she received an automated message from her cell phone provider earlier this week. “I had no idea that the change was taking place this weekend,” said Jones. “I’m sure there are a lot of people in the comSee 10 digit on A8

University sparks important conversations during first Transforming Education Community Roundtable

Democracy North Carolina leaders and volunteers met with Forsyth Board of Elections Director Tim Tsujii on Tuesday, April 19, to discuss issues with the March 15 primary. The topic of the meeting was the more than 130 provisional ballots that were rejected because of a lack of signature. Democracy NC Director Bob Hall said that there was an unusually high percentage of provisional ballots rejected in Forsyth. Statewide, about 60 percent of provisionals were counted, while in Forsyth only 33 percent of the 962 provisional ballots counted. The program that was used to print out the provisional application slips failed to always print out the signature line and, though poll workers were trained to get a signature anyway, many failed to do so. Hall said that Forsyth was the only county that had this problem according to the State Board of Elections. “As it happens in Forsyth County, African-American and Latino voters are 30 percent of the registered voters, but they were 61 percent of the voters who were tossed out for the lack of signatures; that’s very –Bob Hall, concerning to us,” said Democracy NC Director Hall. Local Democracy NC organizer Linda Sutton called the list of discounted provisional voters a “travesty.” The voting rights organization is hoping Forsyth County does its canvas for the primary again and count the discounted ballots. Tsujii said that it’s possible the State Board of Elections, which is currently doing its own due diligence on the primary, may order the county to redo the canvas. Regardless, Tsujii said that actions will be taken to prevent the problems from happening in the June 7 primary. He said that the program used to print out the provisional applications will not be used again and the BOE will use a manual process that he said will be easier and more efficient for poll workers. He said there will also be additional training for poll workers.

resentatives and stakeholders from the city and surrounding areas to engage in a series of roundtable discussions on a number of topics including the state of education in North Carolina, creating cultures of curiosity for minority students, and the links between thriving schools and thriving societies. During the opening roundtable discussion, Forsyth County Board of Elections member Flemming ElAmin said he will not be satisfied with the public school system until people of color are exceeding expectations, not just meeting them. ElAmin mentioned it is up to teachers and members of the community to ensure that students understand the importance of education. “In the 21st century, meeting expectations is not enough,” he said.

“We as a community have to make sure that our students understand how important education is.” El-Amin told those in attendance that when he was a student, he had teachers like Flonnie Anderson who would accept nothing but the best from her students. Director of Carter G. Woodson School Ruth Hopkins said those who instruct in the public school system need to address the “unconscious internalization of the external social and cultural reality of inferiority that is continually practiced in these United States of America. “Until that is addressed, they will be unable to instruct those who are in need of instruction,” said Hopkins.

Deputy BOE Director Lamar Joyner, who also attended the meeting, said that the program had been used in several past elections, but the “overwhelming” amount of provisional ballots made the amount of errors much higher. The provisional ballots in question were cast when a voter either wanted a ballot different than their registered party or were voting out of precinct. There were also nearly 200 provisional ballots with no

signature for unregistered voters, but those wouldn’t have counted even with signatures. Hall said that voters who think they’re registered to vote in their county but actually aren’t is a statewide issue. Democracy NC is suing both the N.C. DMV and the N.C. Department of Health and Human Services, which the group says is doing a poor job addressing problems with registering their clients and customers to vote.

Roundtable Two touched on a number of topics including how schools should go about connecting with the community, keeping students interested, early childhood education and selecting the right teachers for minority students, among a host of other things. Retired Principal Nora Baker said the people making the policies don’t understand what they are up against. Baker, who worked in the WinstonSalem Forsyth County School System for 31 years before retiring last year, noted that those who are making the decision on our school haven’t been inside a classroom in a number of years. “They don’t really understand what our educators are up against.” Baker also mentioned schools with a large minority population should look to hire teachers who are willing to connect with students and parents outside the school.

“Back when I was in school, my teachers and principals would make visits to home to ensure parents knew what areas students should work on,” said Baker. “Parents have to be involved to make this work. This has to be a team effort.” The final discussion of the day raised the question: what are thriving schools and what are they doing to set themselves apart? For an example, panelists were asked to consider the differences between Whitaker Elementary, one of the county’s most highly regarded schools, and Cook Elementary. Next year, the school with a majority-minority student population will become Cook Literacy Model School in August as part of a federal government’s restart model. Community activist Marquita Wisley said funding and the lack of exposure are two major things that set schools apart. “The majority of students at thriving [schools] are exposed to a lot more at an early age, which allows them to think outside the

box,” she said. “In low-income neighborhoods, students aren’t exposed to a lot of things,” said Wisley. “We have to start showing our kids that they can be better than what they see.” According to the Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools director of alternative education, Dr. Gwendolyn JohnsonGreen, more community schools would be the answer for closing the gap between thriving and nonthriving or low-performing schools in the area. Johnson-Green mentioned community schools would provide the wraparound services needed in minority schools. “Community schools involve all the stakeholders in the community,” she said. “Thriving schools bring together the resources of the school, faculty and community. With community schools, we will be able to take different approaches.” WSSU Provost Dr. Brenda A. Allen said the roundtable addressed the most important issues badgering the AfricanAmerican community. “It’s important that we have this conversation, especially in a city where we aren’t doing as well as we should be,” she said. “Having this conversation here today will greatly help in the ways we think about reforms and making the changes that we need to make.”

Local ministers group responds to release of body camera footage

BY TEVIN STINSON THE CHRONICLE

Earlier this week, The Ministers’ Conference of Winston-Salem and Vicinity (MCWSV) held a press conference to respond to the release of body camera footage of the incident that led to Travis Page dying while in the custody of four officers with the Winston-Salem Police Department. According to a police report, on Dec. 9 Corporal Robert Fenimore, Officer Christopher Doub, Officer Austin Conrad and Officer Jacob Tuttle responded to a reported discharge of firearm on Old Rural Hall Road. Upon arrival officers attempted to detain 31year-old Page, who matched the description of the reported gunman. After a brief struggle with Page, one of the officers used pepper spray in order to gain control. At that time, Page became unresponsive. Officers performed lifesaving efforts, but were unsuccessful. For months, MCWSV and a number of other community organizations urged District Attorney Jim O’Neil to release body camera footage obtained from the officers present during Page’s death. During the press conference held at Emmanuel Baptist Church, MCWSV president Bishop Todd Fulton said, after viewing the videotapes that were released last month, the Minsters’ Conference feels that the officers involved followed professional standards. “We are proud to say that this is not Ferguson,” said Fulton. “This is not like so many trends that we have seen transpire across

America.” Fulton also mentioned the Forsyth County District Attorney’s office released the footage in a timely manner. He noted that we have seen some cases where it takes more than a year for footage to be released. According to representatives from the district attorney’s office, footage could not be made public until an internal investigation by the State Bureau of Investigation was complete. “We were pushing for solidarity in our community. The only way we are going to get that is through transparency,” Fulton continued. “We are working to build a stronger community.” City Council member and public safety chairman James Taylor said, although the loss of life is always a tragic event, following the death of Page, everyone involved did their job. As he stood at the podium on Tuesday afternoon, Taylor said, “Although the community has had issues with the police department and district attorney’s office in the past, moving toward the future we have nothing to worry about. “I think we have the some of the best citizens, officers, elected officials

and community in this entire country,” he said. “When it comes to protecting this community, I don’t think we have anything to worry about.” Mayor Allen Joines said he has every confidence in Chief Barry Rountree and the training that officers receive. Joines also said he was grateful for the body cameras that were worn by officers during the incident. “Thank goodness that we had body cameras. I think that was a great investment made by the City of Winston-Salem.” Although satisfied with the handling of the Travis Page footage, Fulton said the Ministers’ Conference still has a number of issues and concerns with state legislation policies in regard to releasing body camera footage. Under House Bill 713, discretion to release recordings would be decided by law enforcement agencies. The bill would restrict all public access by treating police body camera footage as pieces of evidence in criminal investigations. “We definitely have concerns with that bill,” he said. “That is one of our major concerns right now, making sure that bill is not passed and transparency remains.”

Commissioners ask lawmakers to consider airport de-annexation Visit Our New Website www.WSChronicle.com

Pre-school funding is also discussed BY TODD LUCK THE CHRONICLE

Forsyth County commissioners asked state lawmakers to consider deannexing the Smith Reynolds Airport out of the city during a meeting at the Forsyth County Government Center in order to avoid paying stormwater fees. The airport was one of several issues that came up during the commissioners’ annual meeting with the legislators who represent Forsyth County. Both the City and County hold meetings to let state lawmakers know their legislative needs. Attending legislators were state Reps. Evelyn Terry, Donny Lambeth and Julia Howard and State Senators Paul Lowe and Joyce Krawiec. County Commissioner Ted Kaplan presented the lawmakers with a resolution to de-annex the airport, which would eliminate stormwater fees, which equal about 20 percent of its annual net income, and eliminate city taxes. He said the taxes and fees are making it less competitive than Piedmont International Airport which doesn’t pay city taxes because it’s outside of Greensboro’s city limits. Commissioners also asked for legislation to eliminate local governments and non-profits from paying stormwater fees. County Commissioner Walter Marshall didn’t support either effort. He felt

T H E C H R ON I C LE

the issue should be settled locally and that stormwater fees should be paid, since larger cities are required to have a stormwater management program to prevent water contamination from stormwater that flows off surfaces like parking lots. “If there’s a building there, someone has to pay it,” Marshall said at the Thursday, April 14.meeting. Terry said her concern was for those who live around the airport. She said anything that is done must involve helping the “poverty-ridden” community around it. “It’s a bastion of economic opportunity that sits in a desert of poverty,” she said. The City and County have been working on a compromise on the issue for months. Right now, the City currently has a proposal drafted to give the airport up to $100,000 annually for 7 to 10 years, contingent that it remains in the city and that the County matches the funds. The money would be used to apply for grants from the N.C. Department of Transportation and the Federal Aviation Administration for capital projects at the airport. There’s also a stormwater fee credit being considered in the City public works committee for businesses that install preventative structural stormwater measures. Kaplan argued that the airport’s growth will help the area around it, as did County Commissioner Everette Witherspoon. “It’s the largest economic opportunity on that side of Winston-Salem,” Kaplan said.

Marshall was cynical about that, since the area around the airport remains poor and it would take substantial outreach for those who live near the airport to get the training to work there. Lambeth also said he hoped for a local solution. “It would be better if you can work it out with the City but if you can’t, just come to us,” said Lambeth. Though the airport was the longest and most heated discussion, other issues were talked about as well. Witherspoon told lawmakers he felt the county got the “short end of the stick” on pre-school subsidies. He said many parents can’t afford pre-school for their children and it’s affecting local schools. “You talk about low performing schools, it doesn’t happen by osmosis; what you’re having is children coming to school not ready to learn,” he said. Marshall agreed on the need for more local preschool funding, which Lambeth, a chair of the appropriations committee, said he’d look into. Marshall also told legislators he’d gotten “calls from all over the county” on HB 2, expressing concerns that North Carolina was regressing. The controversial law, passed last month in a special one-day session, has been called discriminatory by critics and resulted in protests and boycotts of the state. Marshall expressed concerns over the restrictions it puts on local governments on minimum wage and that it eliminated employees’ rights to sue for discrimination in state court.

university Shaw University. “We decided on this location because of its historical significance,” said Hill. “The area was once known as the black business district of Raleigh.” During the hearing, held at St. Phillips African Moravian Church on South Church Street, a number of residents made suggestions on what they believe the monument should look like a n d represent. From monuments t h a t f e a tured water, to othe r s Valerie Johnson t h a t reached to the sky, those in attendance presented a number of interesting ideas to think about. Margaret Graham of Winston-Salem said the monument should honor the history of slavery in the state. “It’s impossible to tell the story of AfricanAmericans in this state without including slavery,” said Graham. “That is something that has to be included in the monument.” Dr. Donna Benson, a Winston-Salem State University history professor, said because of the many contributions of African-Americans, the monument should show

diversity and the progression the African-American community has made over the years. “From education to the arts all the way to sports, African-Americans have made contributions in a number of different ways,” said Benson. “I feel that having balance and showing the various hardships of people of color should be included.” N.C. African-American Heritage Commission Chairwoman Valerie Johnson, who will be involved in the final decision-making process, said she is excited because this is a very important moment in the state’s history. Johnson noted that without the help of the public, this project would not be possible. “To be able to reflect and show the past, the present and the future is very important to the legacy of African-Americans in this state,” said Johnson. “We need your help to make this vision become a reality.” In coming weeks, similar hearings will be held in Asheville, Wilmington and Raleigh. Following those hearings, officials will then decide on a budget and lay out a timetable for finishing the memorial. For more information on the monument hearings, call 919-807-7290.

State officials come to W-S looking for ideas for African-American monument

BY TEVIN STINSON THE CHRONICLE

A monument honoring African-Americans’ contributions to North Carolina will soon be added to the State Capitol grounds and the public has the opportunity to decide what it will look like. On Tuesday, April 12, state officials kicked off a month-long series of public hearings to gather feedback from residents about the proposed monument. According to Suzanne Kluttz, secretary of the N.C. Department of Natural and Cultural Resources (NCDNCR), input will be taken from residents around the state, and the final decision will be made by members of the N.C. African-American Heritage Commission and N.C. Historical Commission. “This is not something that will be decided by state staff. It will all come from your ideas,” Kluttz said. Currently the state grounds have 14 monuments, none of which feature African-Americans. NCDNCR member Mike Hill said the new monument will be located near Wilmington Street in the southeast corner of the grounds. The finished product will be a stone’s throw from First Baptist Church, which opened its doors to those of African descent in 1812. The proposed location of the monument is also near the campus of historically black

Utility workers ask City for more pay; Council also approves financing for Ujima CDC project A4 APRIL 21, 2016

BY TODD LUCK THE CHRONICLE

City utility employees asked for higher pay and funds were approved for Ujima CDC’s first project in the Monday, April 18 meeting of the City Council. Many utility workers spoke, and dozens filled the seats and lined the walls of the standing-room-only meeting. Bob McMannon, a 21-year utility employee who is a senior plant operator at Elledge Wastewater Treatment Plant, told the council that the City is losing certified operators to other municipalities in the state and as far away as California. He said in the last seven months, the plant has had to replace 25 percent of its operators. “Do we want to give away our trained operators to other municipalities?” he said. “I’ve heard it said repeatedly with operators leaving, ‘I can’t afford to stay with Winston-Salem’.” Edgar Henderson, who works in utilities construction as a senior crew coordinator, said the pay deficit with other North Carolina municipalities runs between 15 and 25 percent depending on the

T H E C H R ON I C LE

position. He said it can take up to four years to earn certification. “By the time the employee earns these certifications, the City has invested approximately $140,000 in him or her, only to have them accept a position at a neighboring utility for a significant pay increase,” said Henderson. Sworn police officers and fire fighters faced a very similar situation, where many were leaving for other municipalities that pay more after being trained. To improve retention, last year the City Council approved a plan to increase the pay for police officers and firefighters. The mayor and City Council members promised action for the utility workers. “I can assure you we will take your comments very seriously and will begin to address them with the budget this year,” said Mayor Allen Joines. The City Council also voted unanimously to provide $2.5 million in grants and loans for Ujima CDC’s Emmanuel Retirement Village, located on Barbara Jane Avenue off Old Greensboro Road. The CDC began in 2005, after Emanuel Baptist Pastor John Mendez had the

City Council passes anti-HB 2 resolution

BY TODD LUCK THE CHRONICLE

The Winston-Salem City Council passed a resolution expressing concerns about HB 2 and asking local lawmakers to undo its “damaging legislative changes” during its Monday, April 18 meeting. HB2 was passed during a special one-day General Assembly session late last month to prevent a new Charlotte ordinance protecting lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) individuals from discrimination that included protection of transgender individuals using the restroom or locker room of the gender they identify with. To do that, HB2 restricts local governments from having discrimination ordinances that go further than state law and says

individuals can only use public restrooms and locker rooms that match the gender on their birth certificate, though private businesses and entities can still make their own polices on such matters. “We need to let our citizens know that they are still a welcome part of our community,” said City Council Member Dan Besse, who wrote the resolution. Only Robert Clark, the sole Republican on the council, voted against the resolution. Instead he sent his own letter to Republican lawmakers on two issues he said needed addressing in the law: its elimination of employees’ right to sue for discrimination and that it could put local municipalities trying to comply with federal

non-discrimination provisions in conflict with state law. Krys Gidtrey, a Salem College student who is gender fluid, was among many speakers who thanked the City Council for passing the resolution. “I thank you for standing up for social justice and I thank you for standing in solidarity with our community,” said Gidtrey. During the last few weeks this issue has been discussed in council meetings, transgender people have spoken about their own personal struggles with acceptance in society and in their own families, and how awkward it would be to go in a restroom the opposite of their current gender just because of what’s on their birth certificate. They’ve rejected what

idea of putting a retirement community on property the church owned at that location. City Council Member Robert Clark, chair of the finance committee, was among those who said he was impressed with the CDC, commending its preparation for the project, and acknowledging how difficult development is in “certain parts of town.” Council Member DD Adams praised the CDC for its diligence on the project. “It places a much needed service of housing in an East Winston neighborhood,” said Adams. The City’s financing is comprised of a $500,000 grant, a $1 million no-interest forgivable loan and a $1 million loan at 2 percent interest. The $5.5 million project will get the rest of its capital from a private lender, whose financing was contingent on getting city funding. Emmanuel Retirement Village will have 28 single bedroom units in a two story apartment building, duplexes with 22 tw- bedroom units, and a community center. The CDC hopes to start construction this year and open the complex in early 2018.

they say is an unfounded scare tactic, that the Charlotte ordinance would endanger women and children. Both residents and City Council members like DD Adams have called it a civil rights issue. Debra Pankey, the only person who spoke in support of HB2, disagreed that it’s a civil rights issue. She said the law wasn’t about hate, but about “common decency and privacy.” “I am also appalled that some issues such as the dispute over HB2 are compared to the racial preju-

dice and bigotry that we and other minorities have suffered,” said Pankey, who is black. Winston-Salem now joins Durham, Greensboro, Asheville, Carrboro, Greenville, Hillsborough and Chapel Hill as having passed a resolution against the law. The law has national opposition as more than 160 top executives from major companies have signed a letter opposing it. Paypal canceled its plans for expansion in Charlotte because of HB2 and Bruce Springsteen,

Ringo Starr, Pearl Jam and Cirque Du Soleil have canceled shows in the state. The High Point Furniture Market is expecting hundreds, if not thousands, fewer costumers because of the law. A federal appeals court ruled on Tuesday against restricting transgender students from using the restroom of the gender they identify with at a Virginia high school. N.C. Governor Pat McCrory said on Tuesday the State was figuring out the effect of the ruling on HB2.

Changes announced for Winston Lake; pool still in question

T H E C H R ON I C LE

Visit Our New Website www.WSChronicle.com

BY TEVIN STINSON THE CHRONICLE

Next month the Winston Lake Family YMCA will close early on Saturdays and be closed on Sundays according to officials with the YMCA of Northwest North Carolina. Last week The Chronicle reported that in response to a 20 percent decline in membership revenue, and an annual loss of $400,000 that translates to $2 million since 2011, board members are looking to make changes to help overcome shortfalls. Proposed changes include cutting hours, closing the portion of the building where the pool is located, and transferring current staff members. A letter sent to members last week stated that the changes in weekend hours will be implemented May 21. A major leadership change will take place next month at Winston Lake as well. Current branch director Terry Matthews will be moved to the Long Family YMCA in Clemmons and Richard Daniels, the vice president of operations at Fulton Family YMCA, will serve as the director at Winston Lake. The proposed closing of the pool didn’t go over well with the members

and has led YMCA board members to rethink their plans. During a meeting held on Friday, April 8, a number of longtime members of the branch said they did not want to see the pool go. “We need our pool right here in this community,” Veronica Rousseau said. “A lot of us are seniors and that pool is a big help for our health.” After receiving backlash from members, president and chief executive of the YMCA of Northwest North Carolina Curt Hazelbaker said they are currently looking at ways to keep the pool open. According to Hazelbaker, officials are currently looking to community partners and local non-profit organizations to help with the expense of keeping the pool open. “Based on the feedback from the members at the Winston Lake branch, we are going to see what our options are,” he said. “Once we have had conversations with those potential partners, we will make a decision.” Hazelbaker said aside from local non-profit organizations, they have also discussed a potential partnership with the city. Hazelbaker noted they are looking for partners to help with the entire operation of the branch, not

just the upkeep of the pool. Prior to the meeting between YMCA officials and Winston Lake branch members, there had not been any talks about a partnership with the city. City Council member Derwin Montgomery said although no one has contacted him directly, he and other elected officials are dedicated to keeping the branch open that serves the Eastern portion of the city and the African-American community. Board members are expected to have a series of meetings with members of Winston Lake next week to discuss ways to keep the pool open. While a timetable to make a final decision is not yet in place, Hazelbacker mentioned a decision will be made before the end of the year. He also said although change is hard, “We will remain dedicated to serving the East Winston community. That will not change,” Hazelbacker said. Although they are still awaiting word on the pool, a number of residents told The Chronicle that they are happy board members are making an effort to include the members at Winston Lake in the decision making process. “For years we have been left in the dark about what happens here at Winston Lake,” said Veronica Brown, longtime member and volunteer. “Including us in the decisionmaking process can make a big dif-

Transforming education takes a 21st century village united

Winston-Salem State University (WSSU) held a community roundtable on Friday, April 15. This was the first event of its kind WSSU has held. The university said the Transforming Education Community Roundtable will be an annual forum that brings together broad and diverse community representatives and stakeholders to advance fresh thinking and bold ideas designed to enhance public education in our community. The 2016 Roundtable featured three conversations exploring the state of public education in North Carolina, creating cultures of curiosity, and thriving schools, thriving societies. In discussing the state of public schools in North Carolina, various concepts came up. One panelist said: “You cannot separate education from what’s going on in our society.” What’s going on in our society? In North Carolina, it is repression and regression. In Winston-Salem, 12 inner-city schools have been labeled low performing based on test scores. Some panelists suggested a change in education operations could be the problem. Under segregation, black students and black teachers worked together. Now, the majority of teachers are white, middleclass women who probably don’t understand how to relate to the mostly minority students in those schools. They abdicate trying to understand and send minority students straight to the administrative offices. According to N.C. Department of Public Instruction data, suspensions among black students in the Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools system nearly quadrupled the number among white students in 2014-2015, despite the fact that black students make up less than 30 percent of total enrollment. What’s happening in our society? Minorities are being sent to prison at alarming rates. Sixty percent of U.S. prisoners are either African-American or Latino, President Obama has said. "About one in every 35 African-American men, one in every 88 Latino men is serving time right now," the president said. "Among white men, that number is one in 214." It is widely known that third-grade reading scores help officials decide on the number of prisons needed in the United States. What’s happening in our society? North Carolina lawmakers who have not seen public education in action for years are making laws that tear into the heart of public education, where most minority children can be found, while bolstering non-public schools, where only a small percentage of minority students can be found. One black charter school official in WinstonSalem says the N.C. law on charter schools added a section that makes charter schools that accept federal funds on par with public school systems and decrees that those schools have to be held to the same standards as public schools. Her school falls under that jurisdiction. Meanwhile, North Carolina lawmakers are making laws that restrict the voting rights of citizens. Mostly minorities are affected. Facilitators and panelists talked about systems and how various systems in the lives of children need to work together. Those systems include family, community, faith institutions and education. “This is a village. Our children have to travel across multiple systems,” one panelist said. Panelists and facilitators concluded that ways have to be found to unite the systems even while society is trying to tear the systems apart. The 21st century village cannot afford not to. Note: Managing Editor Donna Rogers was a panelist on a roundtable session.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Shame on GOP leaders in House for missing U.S. budget deadline To the Editor:

The Republican Leadership in the House have chosen the route of inaction and failed to present a 2017 budget for Congress [by the April 15 budget deadline] to debate and consider. But it is more alarming that Speaker [Paul]Ryan’s ‘Road to Ruin’ proposed cuts that were not deep enough for a majority of his party to agree on. His proposal to end the Medicare guarantee and execute $6.5 trillion in cuts demonRep. Butterfield s t r a t e s Congressional Republicans’ disdain for the social safety net that so many Americans depend on. The budget is supposed to provide direction on how we can plan to fund the federal government in the upcoming year, but the missed deadline will make it that much harder for a plan to be vetted, debated, and decided on by Congress. We will continue to fight for a budget that reflects the values of the American people and one that will emphasize our long-standing commitment to eradicating poverty in America by increasing economic opportunities through investments in education, infrastructure, affordable housing, small business, and job training. We must protect and strengthen the social safety net, which will stop millions of families from sinking deeper into poverty. U.S. Rep. G. K. Butterfield (NC01) Chairman, Congressional Black Caucus Washington, D.C.

McCrory’s effort to change HB 2 is troubling

and a trick To the Editor:

The Governor's half-hearted effort to change some pieces of Hate Bill 2 he signed [March 23] is troubling. And a trick. He said he wants the same extremists in the legislature who rammed through a law that expressly discriminates against transgendered citizens of North Carolina, and snatches the right to sue in State Courts for all protected classes, to come back to Raleigh and make some changes in the law. What his executive order tries to restore – it’s unclear how much power the Governor's order really has – are rights and liberties that should have never been removed. His suggested changes leaves Hate Bill 2 a backward, race-based, classbased homophobic bill that hurts the working poor, racial minorities and the LGBTQ community. The bill was bad when it was written. It was bad when the Governor signed it with no conditions. And it is still bad with the Governor’s new conditions. We stand on our moral values of justice and love. We stand on our belief that this bill, no matter how much lipstick Governor McCrory tries to slap on it, represents the raceclass-homophobic politics of Jesse Helms reincarnated. Hate Bill 2 Rev. Barber is about politics not bathrooms. Repeal it! That's the right thing for the Governor to do. Like his refusal to expand Medicaid. Like his budget that hurts teachers and public education. Like his Voter Suppression Bill, which will be overturned in the courts. Like his support for Amendment One. The Governor should never have signed Hate Bill 2 in the first place. His troubling actions yesterday mean that local jurisdictions are still barred from requiring contractors to pay employees living wages, sick leave, vacation leave and minority set asides. We in the NAACP Forward Together Movement call on people and businesses of conscience -- keep the pressure on. NO DISCRIMINATION. NO RACISM. NO CLASSISM. SAY NO to HATE. IN

FULL OR IN PART. YESTERDAY. TODAY. TOMORROW! Pray for the Governor. Protest the Governor and his colleagues who passed Hate Bill 2. Demand they do the right thing. Repent, repeal, and resist extremism. Adjusting discrimination is not enough; only abolition is sufficient!

Rev. Dr. William J. Barber II President the NC NAACP Convener of Forward Together Moral Monday Movement Durham

Education – the answer to many of the problems ailing our country – is getting the least amount of attention from the candidates on the presidential campaign trail. According to a November 2015 Gallup poll, only 4 percent of Americans consider education or education policy to be the most important problem facing our nation. Respondents instead cited the economy, poorly run government, immigration, gun control and health care of most concern. While I agree that these are important issues, we at 100 Black Men of America Inc. (The 100) believe that without a quality educa-

tion, many young people, particularly AfricanAmericans, will be condemned to lives of poverty, incarceration and despair. As a nonprofit mentoring organization, the education of our youth is one of our top concerns. In our advocacy work, The 100 has sought to raise public awareness about the need to reform our nation’s education system, especially in predominately AfricanAmerican and low-income communities where far too many of the schools are failing our children. We are working to ensure that every child, no matter their ZIP code, has access to high-performing schools. Schools with caring and nurturing environments, high-performing teachers, rigorous curriculum, and the proper materials and technology are some of the key ingredients to preparing our kids to successfully graduate high school, handle col-

productive members of society. How we get there is the real question. One answer is by voting. When we go to the polls in November, we will not only elect the next president. We will use our voting power to also make important decisions about our children’s education. In some states, for example, the electorate will be asked to decide whether to turn the opera-

dle to college. As voters, we are facing some tough choices. Many of our local public schools are struggling and some even failing, but is a state government takeover the answer? There has been a decades-long imbalance in the distribution of educational quality and opportunity due, in part, to how public schools are funded, but will proposed funding formula changes address those inequities and produce successful outcomes? If we allow more charter schools, will that irreversibly damage our traditional public schools or will the competition make both stronger? What happens to the children and schools in our communities will depend largely on the actions we take as voters. Elections at both the federal and local levels – from the school board to the statehouse and from the assembly to the White House – are vitally

important. We need to be talking about education in our households and at PTA meetings, in our barber shops and coffeehouses, and in our workplaces and houses of worship. But transformation doesn’t come by talk alone. We also must take decisive action. We can start by increasing our knowledge of the issues, committing to exercise our right to vote, encouraging others in our communities to do the same and then casting ballots for candidates for whom education and the academic success of our children are top priorities. The choice – and the vote – is ours.

Congress must shine more light on anonymous companies act.

Frank Knapp

Guest Columnist

The threat from the misuse of anonymous shell companies is real and routine. Criminals use them to scam consumers, defraud the government, and launder money. They also use them to cheat small businesses. For example, from 2004 to 2012 a large Virginia-based security firm used a shell company to fraudulently obtain $31 million in federal contracts – contracts that should have gone to minorityowned small businesses under the SBA’s section 8(a) set-aside program. In a second case, a Maryland woman used multiple shell companies to win contracts to supply the government with paint and other goods. She got subcontractors to supply the goods, billed the government, and then walked away with $2.3 million in payments she owed the subs. The first crime used one shell company; the second, more than a dozen, incorporated in six states. Law enforcement is routinely stymied in its efforts to see and stop these crimes. That’s because the companies’ anonymity keeps them from knowing the real people who control and benefit from the shells, in legalese, the beneficial owners. Anonymous companies are also used to poison our politics. Last year more than 200 Limited Liability Companies (LLCs) donated $11 million to presidential candidates’ super PACs, according to the Wall Street Journal. The use of LLCs – whose

owners can be hidden – defeats federal election rules that require super PACS to identify most of their contributors. Anonymous companies are also used to fund terrorism. Last July, Manhattan DA Cyrus Vance Jr. told a House terrorism hearing that identifying shell companies’ beneficial owners would vastly improve law enforcement’s efforts to stop terrorism funding. All of this is possible because our

As a result, Congress must force them to do this by passing the bipartisan I n c o r p o r a t i o n Transparency and Law Enforcement Assistance Act (ITLEAA) -- which requires all states to identify the beneficial owners of the companies they create. Taking this action would create a level playing field for all states, and make it harder for criminal and corrupt actors to exploit company formation law to conduct business that no state truly wants within its borders. Complying with the Act would not burden small businesses. Rather it would help to level the playing field between them and large businesses – for example, by providing them with better information when they negotiate with larger partners. Our presidential campaigns have been dominated by security concerns and yet no candidate has called on Congress to pass the ITLEAA. It’s a straightforward, low-cost way to stop the misuse of anonymous companies and the crimes they enable. By passing this Act, Congress can take a common sense step to boost our security on multiple fronts – and our presidential candidates who care Illustration by Ron Rogers for The Chronicle about small businesses, our democracy and our security, should call on states rank among the world’s easiest Congress to do so. places to create anonymous shell companies.

Parkland’s new basketball coach comes to restore Also More Stories, Religion and Classifieds

BY CRAIG T. GREENLEE FOR THE CHRONICLE

Parkland’s boys’ basketball program has seen better days. Over the past decade, the Mustangs have only one winning season to show for their efforts. Enter Travis HolcombFaye, the newly hired coach who has a vision to restore the program to the prominence it enjoyed in

the late 1990s. HolcombFaye is no stranger to high school hoops in the Triad. Prior to taking over at Parkland, he had five-year stints as an assistant coach at Mount Tabor and Reagan. “I’m just ready to begin this journey,” he said. “I’m so blessed and thankful that I have this opportunity. I can’t wait to get started.”

APRIL 21, 2016

Parkland showed much promise during the early portion of this past season. The Mustangs pulled off a shocker by beating topseeded North Forsyth to win the Pepsi bracket of the Frank Spencer Holiday Classic in December. Sporadic play, however, characterized the rest of the season as the Mustangs fell to 9-15 overall and 1-11 in

the Central Piedmont 4-A Conference. Holcomb-Faye, 34, is not fazed by Parkland’s most recent history. Given his resume as a high school and AAU coach, there’s no doubt in his mind that he’s ready and equipped to handle the challenge. “I want to see progression,” he said. “I feel that

Titans, Spartans, Mustangs earn bragging rights BY CRAIG T. GREENLEE FOR THE CHRONICLE

On the boys’ side, the Scott Brent Invitational had all the suspense that track and field connoisseurs could hope for. On the girls’ side, though, there wasn’t much doubt about what the final outcome would be. The two-day meet, held last weekend at Mount Tabor, serves as the annual CityCounty championships. West Forsyth and Mount Tabor staged a

tug-of-war for the boys’ team title. When all the points were tallied, both teams found themselves locked in first-place dead heat with 133 points apiece. According to meet officials, this is the first time since 1972 that teams finished in a first-place tie. As for the girls’ competition, there wasn’t much intrigue. Parkland (152) won comfortably over challengers Mount Tabor (130) and West Forsyth (128). West Forsyth’s boys scored over 100 See Track on B2

an induction banquet at the Benton Convention Center on May 6 at 7 p.m. “This is always a very special occasion,” said Robert Wynn, president of the Winston-Salem Sportsmen Club, the organization that established the Hall of Fame in 1983. “I saw several of these athletes playing during their high school careers. So, I can attest to their athletic

abilities and their dedication. “What stands out most for me, is that during their careers, they didn’t play with the idea that one day they might be in a Hall of Fame. They played for the sheer joy of the sport.” Here’s a summarized look at this year’s Hall of Fame class:

points on the first day of competition by dominating the jumps and the throws. The Titans posted multiple top-three finishes in four of the six field events. Mount Tabor answered with a strong performance of its own. The Spartans 4x800 relay (Ian Foley, Michael Moerk, Cameron Ponder and Kenny Kneisel) ran 7 minutes, 51.49 seconds to win in meet-record time. The Spartans further helped their cause with a 1-2-3 sweep in the 1,600-meter run, followed by a 1-3-4 finish in the 3,200-meter run. Mount Tabor continued to add to its total with runner-up finishes in the 4x200 and 4x400, plus a fifth in the 4x100. “We came back from over 80 points down to tie it,” said coach Patrick Cromwell of Mount Tabor. “It feels like a win. The kids see that when they come together, they can overcome anything – a large deficit. The way this ended shows how competitive our county is. “This is a huge boost for us. We’re a better regional-state team than we are a local team. We have some nationally ranked kids who will do well at the state level. To be a county champion, you have to have depth, and I think we’ve demonstrated that we do. This [Brent Invitational] is a great jump-start to the

Hall of Fame

rest of our season.” Coach Jeff Thompson of West Forsyth was not surprised by the wire-to-wire finish. He expected it. “To be in a meet where both teams score that many points and still end up in a tie is really amazing,” he said. “I knew it would be tight, but I thought it [team title] would be determined by a handful of points. At no time did I ever envision a tie.” The weeks ahead will most likely be a time of strategic planning for the upcoming Central Piedmont Conference track championships, set for May 3 at Reagan. Given the parity with the Titans and Spartans, Thompson will consider lineup changes in an effort to “squeeze out” points in different events that could give his team a slight edge. “I’m glad that I have two weeks to come up with a plan,” he said. “We’ll have to find ways to get the maximum out of the resources we have.” Parkland returned to the City-County meet for the first time in two years. During that time, the Mustangs missed those competitions because they competed in the prestigious Arcadia Invitational in California, which was scheduled the same weekend as the Brent Invitational. This year, the West Coast meet was switched to an earlier time of the month, which allowed Parkland to join the field.

There’s no doubt that West Forsyth and Mount Tabor are strong favorites to contend for the team title in CPC track. But with the emergence of Parkland’s boys, the chase for CPC trophy could turn out to be a three-way battle. On the second day of the Brent, the Mustangs won all three of the sprint relays. Lorenzo Graise, who is headed to East Carolina, pulled off a rare 200/400 double. Graise won the 400 in convincing fashion with a personal best of 48.74 seconds, which is a new meet record. Ironically, the previous mark was set by Darrell Elliott, who coaches Parkland quarter-milers. Elliott ran 48.84 in the 400 at the 2008 Brent when he ran for Parkland. In the 200, Graise powered his way down the final straightaway to win in 22.19. “Our guys are very dedicated,” said coach Antwan Hughes of Parkland. “When you’re that dedicated and you give100 percent in practice, you will have success. As for how well Lorenzo ran today, I know they’ve been talking [about Elliott’s record] for quite some time. “Lorenzo told coach that he was going to break his record. [Running] 48 [seconds] is about where he wants to be at this time of the season. The goal for him is to run in the 47s around the time of the state meet.” Parkland’s girls placed their personal

*Josh Henighan During his basketball career at Parkland in the 1990s, Henighan started every game in three varsity seasons. He was a three-time pick for the Frank Spencer Classic All-Tournament team and was All-Northwest as a senior in ’95. One of Henighan’s most memorable moments came in ’94. In a match-up against heavily-favored Concord in the NCHSAA 3-A West Regionals, he nailed a 3-pointer with 11 seconds left in regulation to tie the game and force overtime. Henighan’s shot gave the Mustangs the momentum they needed to finish strong in a 100-94 upset win. “I didn’t play well that night, but I persevered,” he recalled. “When I look at the people who are already in the Hall of Fame, it’s truly a huge honor for me to be selected. This is a team honor as much as it is an individual honor. On that team, we always shared, so I’m sharing this honor with the guys I played with.” *Missy Barsz Carroll In the mid-to-late ‘90s, Carroll, who played at Carver, ranked among the area’s softball elites. The four-year varsity starter was twice voted MVP of the North Piedmont Conference (1997-98). During that same stretch, she hit .667 as a junior and .540 as a senior. As a pitcher, she led the conference in strike-outs and ERA. Carroll also excelled in ice hockey. After graduation, she accepted an invitation to tryout for the U.S. women’s national ice hockey team for the 2002 Winter Olympics. She continued her career as a walk-on at Boston College, who ended up being a four-year letterman and team captain (as a senior). “One of my best high school memories is the year we won the conference [’98],” she said. “It was so gratifying to see how all the hard work we put in paid off in helping us win a championship.”

stamp on the competition by reigning supreme in the sprints and relays. The Mustangs won the 4x100 and 4x200 and were runners-up in the 4x400. McKinley McNeill, the defending state outdoor champ in the 400, posted victories in the 200 and 400, and she ran on the 4x200 and 4x400. Jahnae Bowman, who anchored Parkland’s 4x100, edged Isis Brooks of East Forsyth at the finish to win the 100-meter dash in 12.66 seconds. Bowman also won the long jump. Kamani Davis delivered in abundance as a multi-purpose athlete. Davis won the 300-meter hurdles, was second in the 100meter hurdles, third in the 100, and fourth in the high jump. “We’re glad to be back,” said coach Antwan Hughes of Parkland. “Everybody was very excited to be here [the Brent]. A lot of our younger athletes had never been to City-County. “All week long, I told the ladies that in order for us to do well, it couldn’t be a one- or two-person show. Our seniors shouldn’t have to feel that they have to do it on their own. Everybody else around them had to step up and do their job. And they did that. Our freshmen stepped up and they scored in their events. Everybody on this team contributed in some way to help us win this championship. It’s a job that was well done by the ladies.”

Aside from being the top scorer in Forsyth County and District 8, he was voted the Player of the Year for Northwest NC as well as District 8. Two years ago, Rucker was named as a member of North Forsyth High School’s HalfCentury Team.

Over the next five years, I believe I can get this varsity program back to where it used to be.” As a player, Holcomb-Faye, a self-professed “gym rat,” enjoyed a stellar career. As a high school senior, his

Reynolds squad won the 1998 Spencer Classic championship and he was voted tournament MVP. At East Carolina, he played four seasons and led the team in assists and minutes played every year. Holcomb-Faye graduated as the Pirates’ all-time leader in assists. Going back to his high school playing days, HolcombFaye has long been impressed with the level of athleticism at Parkland. His job, as he describes it, is to help his players maximize their athleticism on the court. “With my basketball background, I feel that I can come in and help turn these athletes into better basketball players,” he said. “As a point guard, I wasn’t very fast and I wasn’t very strong. I was small, but I always played with

In track, the versatile Mitchell competed in the 300-meter hurdles, 4x100 relay, long jump and high jump. After high school, he played college football at Southern University (La.) and was an All-America in 1998. Mitchell played six seasons in the Canadian Football League with the Saskatchewan Roughriders and was a CFL All-Star in 2003.

*James Burwell Burwell was a dominant force on Griffith High School’s basketball teams in the mid-1960s. The two-time AllNorthwest pick had a single-game, careerhigh of 43 points and he scored 30 points or more nine times during his high school playing days. As a senior, Burwell averaged 27.1 points per game and shot 50 percent from the field. That same season, he was the runner-up in the voting for WinstonSalem/Forsyth County Player of the Year.

I love being in the gym and I’m expecting the same out of my boys.” With this time of year being basketball’s off-season, Holcomb-Faye will place heavy emphasis sharpening basic hoops skills. His players will put in a lot of work on the fundamentals to help ensure that they are fundamentally sound in all facets of the game. “I want to train these players to play the game the right way,” he said. “We’ll play tough defense, and we’ll play fast and get good shots in transition. It’s going to be fun to watch our team play.”

ASHEBORO – For the second straight day, Wi n s t o n S a l e m State used a combination of strong pitching and the long ball from the offensive side of the plate, as the Rams swept a double header from St. Augustine’s University, 7-3 and 14-0, Sunday afternoon at McCrary Park in Asheboro, with the two wins, the Rams improve to 23-18 overall and 9-3 in the CIAA, while the Falcons fall to 12-31 overall and 79 in the CIAA.

Harris-Perry is being honored for her groundbreaking eponymous MSNBC television show and her transformative work as the Maya Angelou Presidential Chair at Wake Forest University. James Perry remarked, “I didn’t engage in my New Orleans advocacy for recognition. I did it because it was the right thing to do.

members of churches from around the Triad came together to find ways to boost security by creating security teams last weekend during the “Plan, Prepare and Protect Safety and Security” training workshop hosted by security expert Bobby Kimbrough Jr. During the three-hour course, Kimbrough, one of the leading authorities on workplace and church security, discussed the importance of maintaining security in the place of worship and how security teams should be assembled and operate.

Galilee uses ‘Risen’ movie as inspiration for discipleship

anyone who knows Kimbrough knows that he is very passionate about protecting God’s people. he currently personally secures more than 180 nationally known bishops from all over the world and the prime minister of the Bahamas. The Winston-Salem native also is the head of security at Union Baptist Church located on Trade Street in Winston-Salem. Kimbrough said he decided to host the training course because the church is often regarded as the cornerstone of the black community and it is important to protect that most powerful entity. “We have to move from the untrained to the trained.

The story of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ has been told many times over the years, from stage to screen. The congregation of Galilee missionary Baptist Church held a private viewing of the movie “Risen,” which tells the story of a Roman soldier’s search for Jesus’ body after the Resurrection. most often, the Resurrection story is told from the angle of an apostle or a follower of Jesus. This movie chronicles the perspective from the other side. “i saw the previews and thought it would be a good opportunity to fellowship and perhaps learn something and to celebrate Christ and the Rev. Dr. Nathan Resurrection as a part of this easter Scovens season,” said the Rev. Dr. nathan Scovens, lead pastor of Galilee, as to why he decided to have this private viewing. The movie follows Clavius, a Roman tribune, who has just returned home from battle. he is then called by Pontius Pilate to oversee the final moments of the cruci-

fixion of Jesus (or yeshua, as he is called in the movie). in an effort to quell a potential uprising from followers of Jesus who believe he will rise after three days, Pilate orders Clavius to make sure the body is entombed and guarded to ensure the body cannot be moved. Following the Resurrection, Clavius is now tasked with finding the body of Jesus as they believe it has been stolen and refuse to believe Jesus has returned. Clavius then seeks to find the disciples of Jesus, but unexpectedly finds the risen Jesus and finds himself in a state of utter disbelief.

Background: The latest charge against Jesus by the religious aristocracy is that he welcomed sinners. Using here a series of three parables, Jesus made it clear that his actions, not theirs, revealed the heart of God. in the first parable of the lost sheep, the shepherd demonstrates genuine concern by making personal contact, as opposed to sending someone else to look for the sheep. in the second parable of the lost coin, Jesus got the

religious leaders to think about two questions: First, did they seek those who were lost from God with as much intensity as Elder the woman seeking her missing coin? and secRichard Wayne ondly, did they share the Wood joy of heaven when a sinner repented and came into a personal relationSunday ship with the Father? The School Lesson third parable of the lost son asks us to view a father of wealth and stature who has two sons and how their actions teach about insurrection of sinners against God. Jesus was always very effective in demonstrating the truth that he proclaimed. Lesson: in a Jewish family of a father and two sons, custom dictates that the older son would inherit two-thirds of the father’s estate and the younger son one-third. This

Once Pilate learns of Clavius’s apparent betrayal, he sends a contingent of Roman troops to pursue Clavius and the disciples. Clavius helps the disciples evade the Romans and encounters Lucius and shows him mercy instead of violence, as he once showed earlier in the film. Clavius continues to

That’s what I want to do here today,” Kimbrough said during the course. Kimbrough also discussed protecting children, ensuring pastoral protection, dealing with disorderly people, determining liabilities, evacuation procedures, planning for incidents and threats, and how to create emergency plans. It’s no secret that churches are generally open environments and therefore much more vulnerable to violent crimes than other controlled workplaces and institutions. Since 1999 over 622 violent deaths have occurred on church and faith-based properties. During an interview with The Chronicle, Kimbrough said at any time and any moment something could happen.

in a very bold move, requests of his father an early issuance of his inheritance. The father complies because he loves his son and wants to see him happy. Within a few days of the division of wealth, the younger son cashes out and leaves the country. We are told that he squanders his wealth in wild living (Luke 15:13). Details of what wild life entails are

struggle with what he thinks to be true of the world and what he has seen from Jesus, but eventually begins to believe after seeing the Messiah heal a leper and also witnessing the ascension of Jesus into heaven. “I thought it was a blessing on my life to be able to see how Jesus was crucified from another perspective, such as someone who was not a believer, and it was a joy to see in the end that he was saved,” said Denise James of Galilee. The Rev. Jackie Moore Hairston said, “To actually

“When the church is secure, the worship is secure,” he said. “Proper planning can stop a lot and prevent a lot of issues. It’s the small things that matter.” Security directors from a number of churches both big and small said they discovered a lot of new tactics that will help create an atmosphere of security. “I took a lot of things from the course here today,“ said Alex Neal, a member of Cornerstone Faith Ministries. “The course covered the entire aspect of security,“ he said. “I will be implementing a number of things from the course at my church. “ While Neal was looking to build a security team to protect his church, others came to the workshop to get advice on how to improve security teams that are already in place.

not given, but we can imagine it would include gambling, drinking and carousing. Jesus doesn’t say how long it took for the younger son to deplete his funds, but we guess not long at all. With the days of wine and roses gone, the young man now in need hires himself out to a local who uses him as a hand in the field caring for the pigs. Hunger pains affect him so much that he

see the Resurrection of Jesus depicted in a movie is just awesome, and it also emphasizes the importance of discipleship and that in itself is a blessing. I think this movie can make a lifechanging impact for someone that may become saved and be glorified that God is still alive.” Scovens spoke with the congregation in the movie theater following the film, quoting a line from the movie where the disciple Bartholomew is asked by Clavius, “Where are the disciples?” and Bartholomew responds, “They are everywhere.”

Christian Robert Smith, a member of Greater Cleveland Avenue said although they have had a security team for a number of years, Kimbrough’s expertise will help take security to the next level. “It was important to come here today to get more information and learn how to update what we are doing,” said Smith. “We want to make sure everything is in place and that we are doing this the right way.” In coming months, Kimbrough will be hosting similar courses at venues along the East Coast. Coordinator for the course, Denise A. Smith, said a lot of effort goes into planning the training. She also noted it is important to make sure that upon completion, attendees leave with the knowledge, information and confidence necessary to protect their

considers eating what the pigs eat (vs.16). In a moment of clarity, his thoughts returned to his father’s house where even the servants were well fed. He makes the decision to go home and confess his sins against heaven and before his father and ask to be taken back, not as a son, but as a hired servant (vss. 17-19). He has clearly had a change of not only mind

He wanted everyone to take that message from the movie and be a disciple for Jesus Christ and to lift him up so that all men may be drawn unto Him. Scovens, and many from his congregation, recently visited the Holy Land and has been preaching from John as part of his post-Resurrection sermons the past few weeks, and felt this movie would be a great way to build onto that message. Scovens wanted people to understand the difference between fact and fiction in the movie and to provoke some thought into

places of worship. “They say a vision without action is merely a dream, action without vision just passes time, but vision with action can change the world,” she said. “It's a great feeling to be able to stand beside him and watch his vision become a reality.” Smith mentioned that when Kimbrough conducts his training, he is in his element. “He's focused on one common goal. Safety and security in the worship place is no longer a need, it is a necessity!” For more information on upcoming training workshops or scheduling a site visit/security consultation for your worship place, contact Denise A.

but heart. The question now lingering in his mind is, will he be forgiven and taken back? The father sees the son coming from afar and driven by love, he hurried to meet, hug and kiss him. For a person with status to run was considered degrading and humiliating. Love sometimes breaks rules (vs.20). The son now blurts out a confession and the father readily forgives him and orders a fine robe to cover him, a ring for his finger and sandals for his feet. A feast is ordered also using a prized, grain-fed “calf” (vss. 2123). The father is overjoyed at the return of a son who was as good as “dead.” He had returned to life morally and spiritually (vs.24). Further reading shows the contrast of the father’s attitude with that of the older brother. The older brother refused to for-

give and was bitter and jealous. The fatherf explains to the older brother why he forgave the younger and we see that Jesus’ key point here is that God the Father wants to save sinners. For Your Consideration: What caused you to turn to God in repentance and seek His forgiveness? What can we do to be as grace-oriented as God is toward the lost? Life’s Application: Our churches are not doing all they can to reach out to the lost with the message of salvation. The lesson is a reminder to us that the mission of the church is to tell the lost about the love of God as Father and His mercy through faith in the Son. Its not “new,”it’s “news” that should always be on our lips - The Good News.
