‘Veronica Harrington’ attends Triad Minority Business Expo

BY DONNA ROGERS THE CHRONICLE

Combine 62 minority businesses and the character Veronica Harrington on the “The Haves and the Have Nots” on the Oprah Winfrey Network and the crowds will come.

Between 500 and 600 people attended the Triad Minority Business Expo, the last part of the two-part Second Annual Triad Minority Business Expo Weekend,

presented by Maximum Enterprises Inc. of WinstonSalem.

It was held at The Enterprise Conference and Banquet Center on Saturday, Aug. 15. Angela Robinson, who portrays Veronica Harrington on the primetime soap opera, came to give encouragement to the vendors.

“Thank you for using the gift that God gave you; using it, not sitting on it,” Robinson told those at the expo. “I really appreciate that.”

She mentioned the diversity of businesses at the expo: specialty business that sell products such as Greek wooden paddles, customized T-shirts and jewelry and newspapers; service businesses such as insurance and banking; nonprofits such as social services organizations; and at least one large company: Food Lion.

The Forsyth County Board of Elections (B.O.E. ) had its meeting on Aug. 18 in the Cooper Cardwell Elections Room at the Forsyth County Government Center on North Chestnut Street.

While the board members covered the topics on the agenda, the majority of the time was taken up on appointing chief judges, judges and recruiting more poll workers.

Chairman Ken Raymond agrees of possibly having more poll workers in the coming election in 2016.

“Any additional staffing we have will serve to help the voting process to run more smoothly,” said Raymond.

Joyner Among those present of the meeting were Secretary Stuart Russell, member Fleming El-Amin, and Lamar Joyner, newly appointed interim director.

Joyner was board-elected on Aug. 13. He has been serving as Forsyth County’s deputy director of elections.

According to Raymond, the Board of Elections is still searching for a director while the hiring process has already started.

During the meeting, Joyner’s main objectives were having more staff and proper training for the 2016 election.

“Our job and the poll workers jobs are going to be extremely difficult,” said Joyner in reference to North Carolina House Bill 589, which has been called a “monster” law and the worst voter suppression law in the country. “They’re going to be made to make some big judgment calls. We’re definitely going to need to increase the staff.”

The General Assembly also passed another law this year that allows for special circumstances regarding voter IDs. There has also been a call for early voting poll workers, while maintaining the B.O.E. budget for salary rates among all staff.

The Winston-Salem Fairgrounds, home of the Dixie Classic Fair, is in need of more than $28.7 million in improvements, according to an updated master plan presented to the City Council Finance Committee on Monday, Aug.10.

The master plan, which will be implemented over many years, got more attention than usual when City Council Member James Taylor said during the meeting that he wanted the public to weigh in on changing the name of the Dixie Classic Fair. He said some of his constituents have expressed offense at the world “Dixie,” which is sometimes associated with the Confederacy. Taylor had such an overwhelming response against changing the name that by that Wednesday, Aug. 12, he had withdrawn his name-change question.

“I know some of my constituents continue to have concerns over this matter, but I’ve also heard from passionate supporters of the fair as it is currently named,” Taylor said in a statement. “At this time, I believe it is in the best interest of our city that I focus my attention on the details of the consultant’s report suggesting how to improve the fairSee Fairgrounds on A9

The Winston-Salem Fairgrounds is hoping to catch up on deferred capital needs.

more stable school year with new accommodations at their current locations.

Hanes is a math, science and pre-engineering magnet school, and Lowrance is a special needs school. They shared a joined building and campus on Indiana Avenue before being moved abruptly during last school year.

The site has groundwater contamination. The city water at the school was safe, but concerns about vapors from underground contamination

During the State Board of Election’s conference last week, Raymond suggested having an Election Day greeter.

“The greeter’s job will be to talk to any voters, standing in line, and prepare them to respond [to] questions asked by the precinct judges.

“We believe that the lines will move more quickly, if the voters know what to expect when they get to the tables,” said Raymond.

work as smoothly as possible.

“It brought our faculty closer together because we had to move in such a short period of time,” she said.

Dickey said teachers used it as a teaching opportunity, talking with them and giving them presentations on the move. They held a scavenger hunt to let students get used to the new facility, which is a section of Atkins Academic and Technology Magnet School.

Dickey said that Atkins has been a wonderful host.

Lowrance, which has 148 students this year, continues to operate as its own school, with its own office and entrance, but using some of the same facilities as Atkins students, such as the cafeteria. A new pod with seven mobile classrooms was added, so there is now room for all of Lowrance’s classes.

“We’re excited about being here and able to start the school year in a school we’re going to finish the year in,” said Dickey who served as Lowrance’s assistant principal before becoming principal this school year.

Mashica Jefferson, Lowrance PTA president whose son is in eighth grade at the school, said she appreciated all the new accommodations for the school at Atkins this school year, such as improved parking and a new playground. She said the mobile classrooms will help greatly since a lack of space caused classes to have to share a room at the same time.

However, she hopes to soon see a new school built for Lowrance.

“We don’t want them to forget we need a new school,” she said.

A replacement for the aging Lowrance building was originally part of the 2006 bond issue proposal but was cut from the final package. It is now among the top priority projects in all four versions of a new bond proposal before the Board of Education, which

17. Hines, who was boardelected in August 2014 after months of searching for the right candidate, will be moving in hopes of serving as the Greene County elections director near his hometown of Kinston.

“I certainly hate to see Steve leave us,” said Raymond. “He’s worked hard and has greatly contributed to the office running better than it has in the past.”

Fleming El-Amin stated that Hines’ intent was “honorable” upon his service to the Board of the Elections and to Forsyth County.

Stuart Russell gave further remarks regarding Hines’ departure.

will be on the 2016 ballot if approved.

Hanes, which has more than 900 students, moved its seventh and eighth grades to the old Hill Middle School, which had sat empty since Hill was merged with Philo Middle School in 2012. Due to lack of space, sixth graders were sent to a vacant section of Smith Farm elementary, a relatively new school that opened in 2013.

Elective teachers and administrators drove between the two schools.

This year however, with two new pods and four new trailers, every Hanes student and teacher will be at the old Hill Middle location, which now bears the Hanes name.

“We certainly had a disruption with the move and this school year is a fresh start that allows us to refocus on the things we want to do in the classroom,” said Hanes Principal Melita Wise.

Wise said Hanes will also have new leadership this school year, as she is leaving to become the principal of North Forsyth High School.

PTSA President Kimber McCracken said that even with the pods, the school is too small for the Hanes’ student body. She said the PTA is working to improve the facility but is making sure anything they do is mobile and can be moved to a permanent location for the school, which is another high priority item in the proposed school bond.

McCracken said she was glad to have the controversy and subsequent move behind the school. It became a divisive issue among parents, with many like her feeling it was safe.

She said the controversy spilled over into the students, with her daughter

“Sad to see Steve go,” said Russell. “I respect his decision. I wish he could still be with us.”

Other agendas during the meeting were about updating the electronic poll book to make the voting process quicker and better.

Also, the Good Shepherd Moravian Church, which will be moving from 1474 Kerner Road in Kernersville, won’t be used for election purposes.

However, the board will be trying to figure out what facility to use for Precinct 068 to vote by next year.

getting in arguments with other students over the school’s safety. She was also glad, after her daughter went to class at Smith Farm last school year, that the entire student body is now together.

“One location, one family, it just makes it so much easier,” she said.

Eighth grader Torey Bailey said he didn’t want to leave the old building, as it had a lot of history to it such as NBA Star Chris Paul attending middle school there and playing basketball at Hanes.

“We have a lot of memories at the old building,” said Bailey.

He said students were still getting used to the smaller space at the Hill location. He said he continues to enjoy the curriculum at Hanes, including science experiments and creating 3-D designs and is considering continuing the science track in high school at Atkins.

A possibility being considered as part of the bond is moving Hanes to the current location of WinstonSalem Preparatory Academy (WSPA). They would join the middle school students already there for a new Hanes Middle. Currently there are talks with Winston-Salem State University about moving WSPA’s college prep high school students to a location there. The current location of WSPA is on Cameron Avenue in a building that housed the original Atkins High School, one of the city’s “Big Four” black high schools during segregation.

The N.C .NAACP is urging all to take part in the North Carolina leg of “America’s Journey for Justice,” scheduled to come through the state starting Saturday, Aug. 29.

A national coalition led by the national NAACP and its president/CEO, Cornell William Brooks, “America’s Journey for Justice” is a 40-day, 860-mile protest march which began in Selma, Alabama, on Aug.1 from the historic Edmund Pettus Bridge, where civil rights marchers were beaten and attacked by Alabama state troopers as they marched for voting rights in March 1965.

The modern-day Journey for Justice is routed from Alabama, through Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina and Virginia, finally arriving in Washington, D.C. on Sept. 15.

The North Carolina leg of the march is scheduled to reach the state Aug. 29 through Sept.

7, before it moves on to Virginia.

Marchers from across the nation will say to the nation and world family, “Our lives, our votes, our jobs, and our schools matter,” the NAACP, a major coalition in the march, says. With each state stopped in, a designated issue of concern to African-Americans – such as fairness in the criminal justice system, jobs with sustainable wages, improved public education, and protection of voting rights – is addressed.

In North Carolina, according to N.C. NAACP President Rev. Dr. William Barber II, the issue is voting rights because the state has become “the national battleground for voting rights.”

“In an effort to challenge a regressive Southern legislature and Congress’ failure to act on strengthening the Voting Rights Act, the N.C. NAACP, the Forward Together Moral Movement, and other justice-loving North Carolinians from across the state will join the march and continue on across the Virginia state line, “Barber said in a statement.

Thus, a major “Rally for Voting Rights” featuring Barber and Brooks, among others, will be held at the State Capitol in Raleigh on Thursday, Sept. 3, with activities beginning at 5 p.m.

Leading up to that, Brooks will take part in a Monday, Aug. 24 Moral Monday Livestream online to promote the Sept. 3 rally.

On Aug. 29, marchers are expected to enter North Carolina from South Carolina at U.S. Highway 1 near Rockingham County at the state line.

Later that evening, there will be a Journey for Justice Youth and Cultural Artist Teach-in, 7:30 p.m. at Southern Middle School, 717 Johnson St. in Aberdeen.

On Monday, Aug. 31 at 7 p.m., the Journey for Justice Voting Rights Teach-in will be at Pullen Memorial Baptist Church, 1801 Hillsborough St. in Raleigh, and on Sept. 1 at 10 a.m. at various congressional offices across the state, there will be simultaneous press conferences on voting rights action.

Supporters from across the state seeking to join the Journey for Justice March while its in North Carolina may sign up by logging onto www.naacpnc.org, and click onto the American Journey for Justice tab, or call 919-682-4700.

AUGUST 20, 2015

By toDD luck the chronicle

celebrating its 10th anniversary this month, oncelogix is an africanamerican owned, locally based multi-million dollar company that produces Sharenote, a web-based healthcare record management application. oncelogix chief executive officer trinity Manning got the idea for Sharenote in 2004, while he was working as a web designer. he was making a website for group homes â&#x20AC;&#x201C; places where unrelated people in need of care, support or supervision can live together, such as those who are elderly or mentally ill and discovered that the personnel at the homes had an issue with the amount of paperwork they had to keep up with. in his spare time, Manning came up with the first version of Sharenote to let the personnel at the businesses do their paperwork digitally. he realized that others could use the application, too, and began driving around the state offering it to other behavioral healthcare companies while he continued working as a web designer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;a couple of the people who were using it told some other people who, in turn, told some other people about it,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;i was driving all over the different parts of north carolina, setting up this system for different providers.â&#x20AC;?

Manning then got an offer to buy the application for $3 million. he turned to his pastor, Bishop James c. hash of St. peterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s church & World outreach center, for advice. hash had Manning meet with several business professionals who attend-

ed the church to get a second opinion.

Most told him to sell, but rod Brown, who had been with Wachovia Securities for 17 years, had different advice. Brown told him to keep it and â&#x20AC;&#x153;swing for the fencesâ&#x20AC;? because he could earn a lot more than the $3 million. â&#x20AC;&#x153;you can earn that, and then create value, and then youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll actually have a business thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be much more valuable at some point,â&#x20AC;? said Brown, who is oncelogix's chief operating officer.

Manning took the advice. Manning and Brown were joined by a third church member, ty Mclaughlin, who was a financial advisor with american express, and in august 2005 they founded oncelogix. the three men have known each other for years through the church, but never dreamed theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d go into business

together.

Mclaughlin said at the time larger healthcare companies could afford to get software to help with their records, but smaller companies couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. he said the monthly user fee they charged, instead of making clients pay a large amount for software upfront, set them apart from their competition, and made it affordable for both small offices and large facilities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;initially our niche market was the underserved of the healthcare industry,â&#x20AC;? said Mclaughlin, oncelogixâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chief financial officer.

Manning said Brown and Mclaughlin helped pitch Sharenote all over the state, putting more than 50,000 miles on their cars in the first year alone. they eventually expanded to Georgia, where Sharenote was so in demand, the trio lived there for a

time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you try to do a lot of stuff on your own, you can only get so far, and then you get a good team, people who really know business and finance and leadership and organization and all that, you can go faster,â&#x20AC;? Manning said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;our growth at that time was so fast, so rapid.â&#x20AC;? the company has continued to grow over the years. now the trio doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to drive to every potential costumer in person; they have webinars and sales staff now, though they still do many face-toface transactions themselves. there are now nearly 300 companies in nine states that use Sharenote. oncelogix now has 14 employees, including contractors, and is bringing in millions in revenue. the company makes a point of giving back to the communities it does business in. the company has supported charitable organizations such as the yMca, the autism Society, hooptee and Big Brothers Big Sisters. oncelogix also sponsored a summer camp for 100 youth in lafayette, louisiana, and will support a local school supply backpack giveaway in happy hill later this month. oncelogix is not through growing.

Sharenote has received ambulatory ehr (electronic healthcare records) certification and will be expanding beyond behavioral health to offer its services to other doctorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; offices and hospitals. other applications are also in the works to help their clients. the trio said that they hope to see Sharenote used all over the country and eventually internationally as well.

Manning said one of the reasons the company has lasted is that Brown and Mclaughlin are not just his partners, but also his friends and â&#x20AC;&#x153;brothersâ&#x20AC;? who are united by a passion to serve their customers.

This years event, sponsored by the Phi omega Chapter of the alpha Kappa alpha sorority inc., featured vision and dental screenings for school-age children, the WssU Mobile heath Unit, Financial Pathways Mobile, educational displays, cultural exhibits, crafts, games and face painting.

The aKa Community Day also included performances from the Carver high school Cheerleaders, the emmanuel Baptist Church Mime Team, african dancers, as well as a number of musical selections and other performances. school supplies and backpacks were also given away.

Before receiving the backpacks students had to go to each exhibit and receive a sticker.

Students and parents wait for the start of AKA Community Day outside Carver High School on Saturday, Aug. 15.

at the start of the event, Mayor allen Joines read a proclamation from the city declaring aug. 15 aKa Day in Winston-salem. Joines applauded the Phi omega Chapter for its dedication to community service.

“The city of Winston-salem would like to thank the aKas for all they do in the community,” said Joines. “The aKas are known for their community work, and i’m glad that we have a chance recognize the organization for all they do.”

Kenyetta Richmond, chapter president, also spoke during the event and was surprised with the turnout. Before the event started, a line was wrapped around the gymnasium.

“We had a amazing turnout this year. The line started to form almost a hour before the event was set to begin,” Richmond said. according to Richmond, close to 300 backpacks were given away during the community day. “i’m very proud of what we were able to do today for this community,” said Richmond. “Community service is

very important to this organization.”

Deanna Taylor, member of the Winston-salem Forsyth County Board of education, was impressed with the event. “i’m very impressed,” said Taylor. “it just gives me a good feeling to know that someone cares so much about our community and our children.”

“The aKas do an amazing job of giving back to the community, and we are truly grateful for all they do.”

Taylor, who has been with the Board of education for almost a year, said even in her short time on the board she can see a change in the community support of the youth and schools in the community. “it’s a beautiful thing to see our community come together,” said Taylor. “even in my short time being here i can see how the community has come together and rallied behind its youth.”

The Phi omega Chapter of the alpha Kappa alpha sorority inc. was founded in the early 1920s for members of the alpha Kappa alpha sorority who wanted to remain active in the communities in the Triad area.

students from a number of schools in Forsyth County gathered at hanes Mall on saturday, aug. 15, to wrap up an “amazing” summer of learning and fun.

To mark the start of the 2015 school year, the amazing summer escape Challenge held a school supply giveaway and celebration for the participants in the summer program for students.

The amazing summer escape Challenge is a program designed to encourage students and families to participate in summer learning activities within their communities. each student enrolled in the program was to complete a journal of summer learning as well as a passport documenting their summer activities.

Different learning packets were distributed to students from pre-K to sixth grade.

Packets had to be completed before the start of the 2015 school year. a summer fun checklist was also given to each student. on the checklist were a number of activities the students had to complete to add to their passports. The activities ranged from having a picnic, to catching lightning bugs and everything in between.

During the grand finale of the program, students with completed passports were entered into a drawing to win $500. activities also included a back-to-school fashion show, student performances and informational exhibits. students were also asked trivia ques-

tions to win surprises. Many of the parents and students who stayed through the majority of the event won drawstring bags for participating. sharon Frazier, district and Title i parent involvement coordinator for Winstonsalem/Forsyth County schools, spoke with students about the upcoming school year and about the importance of summer learning.

“The students in the program have really been working hard on their passports and learning packets,” Frazier said. “This program really helps keep the kids’ minds sharp so they are ready for a new school year.”

Before enrolling in the program, students had to pledge to learn strong and stay active and safe all summer long. Frazier said she believes the program really helps the kids stay on track for the next year. “it is important the kids stay on track during the summer. it makes the start of a new school year less stressful,” she said.

Many parents who were completing their school shopping stopped by to find out more on the ase program and seem interested in the program for next summer.

Jasmine Williams of Winston-salem said she had never heard about the program. “now that i know, i will enroll my son in the program next year,” she said.

For more information on the summer program, call the ase hotline at 336-7034294 The first day of school for students in Forsyth County is Monday, aug. 24.

The Winston Lake Family Day on Sunday, Aug. 16, at Winston Lake Park was different from last year’s, when the rain forced organizers to move inside. Although it was hot, families enjoyed the entertainment, games, vendors, food and fun outside.

Free school supplies were distributed while they lasted.

Sharon Johnson said she was at the event with her grandchildren. “It’s a family day for the kids,” she said. She was checking out the Triad Community Kitchen table, which offered information about its culinary program. It is a program of Second Harvest Food Bank.

Reagan Byers, 8, and Cyveene Caines, 7, were designing shoes at the STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) table at Family Day. Denise Johnson, associate professor of middle grades education at Winston-Salem State University, was in charge of n the STEM area. She said WSSU wanted to highlight its STEM programs in the community by attending Family Day. She said Wake Forest University’s Innovation Quarter is working with one of them.

Entertainment included tap dancers, a youth troupe with Winston-Salem Performing Arts Alliance, soloists and the Mo Lucas Kids Foundation entertainers.

There were also family games with prizes.

The free annual event was organized by Winston-Salem Recreation and Parks and hsponsored by the Josh Howard Foundation and Urban Action Community Development eof the American Communities Trust.

What’s in a name? For Civil rights leader Julian some, it’s Bond: an American economics revolutionary

The meeting of the Winston-Salem City Council finance committee on Aug. 10 turned into an opportunity to target a black city councilman who was trying to help the Dixie Classic Fair become more marketable. The committee was discussing ways to make the fair more attractive to customers.

Councilman James Taylor Sr., who is on the committee, mentioned at the meeting that he had heard from some of his constituents who felt the word ‘Dixie’ was a divisive word associated with the Confederacy, and what if the name were changed. It might attract people who have said they will not attend the fair because it has the word “Dixie” in it.

That term offends many in the African-American community because of what it represents to them: a time when black people were slaves in America.

There was an immediate backlash when this suggestion was made public. Don’t change that name, people told Taylor. Vehemently and rudely.

The Winston-Salem Fairgrounds, home of the Dixie Classic Fair, is in need of more than $28.7 million in improvements, according to an updated master plan presented at the meeting. The committee was discussing how to attract more business to the fairgrounds, which are used year-round.

The committee is looking at other ways to attract customers, too, such as making repairs to the buildings on the fairgrounds. But the public has not responded to that.

Businesses – and the fair is a business – change their names all the time in an effort to put the business in a better light, hoping to make more money.

For instance, First Union, which bought Wachovia, decided to go with the Wachovia name for the new company because First Union’s name was tainted with consumers.

African-Americans, who no longer are slaves, now have money to use at businesses. When talking about economics, the term “growth area” is used quite often. African-American dollars represent a growth area for many businesses because AfricanAmericans are huge consumers. Businesses vie for the money African-Americans spend.

So, for the councilman to suggest that the committee look at changing the name of the Dixie Classic Fair makes sense, if you take it from an economic standpoint. It’s not like the name of the fair has not been changed before. In 1897, the Piedmont Tobacco Fair was started. It then became the Winston-Salem Fair. Then its name was changed to the Dixie Classic Fair for Northwest North Carolina.

Now it’s just called the Dixie Classic Fair.

“I know some of my constituents continue to have concerns over this matter, but I’ve also heard from passionate supporters of the fair as it is currently named,” explained Taylor in a news release. “At this time, I believe it is in the best interest of our city that I focus my attention on the details of the consultant’s report suggesting how to improve the fairgrounds, and how to grow our fair into the most prosperous in the state.”

So, where are the vehement voices now? Do they have alternate ideas on how to improve the fairgrounds and grow the fair?

Fair officials say the fair is profitable today. But that might not continue to be true if demographics in the area change. Businesses constantly change in an effort to gain more customers and make more money. Governments who are over businesses look at changes to do the same thing. When businesses don’t change, they might not survive. It would be a shame to have to say years from now that there used to be a fair in Winston-Salem.

One of Julian Bond’s heroes, Frederick Douglass, died at 77 in his Washington, D.C. home, cared for by a loving wife and comrade. NAACP Chair Emeritus Bond died at 75. He leaves his loving wife, Pam, at their Washington home, along with his blood and Movement children, like me, across the nation, who have learned much from his example on the Long March for Justice.

Douglass’ (1818-1895) Long March began in the dangerous moral fusion abolition movement that led, in 1861, to the U.S. Government's organizing millions of Black and White families and soldiers to smash its sin and system of slavery in 1865. After a short period of exciting moral fusion advances in the 1st Reconstruction, Douglass watched with increasing frustration as Southern states allowed racism to terrorize the new African-American citizens with impunity. He joined the great cloud of antiracism witnesses in 1895, and the next year, the U.S. Government gave its full support to Jim Crow with its Plessy decision. Black Southerners suffered egregious economic and social oppression for the next 58 years, until the NAACP knocked the legal legs out from under Jim Crow.

Julian was 14 when nine white men in black robes declared Plessy unconstitutional.

The Warren court, and every Southern politician, knew this was merely the first step in dismantling America’s apartheid system of segregation and gross inequality in education, employment, housing and health. Taking on this 2nd Reconstruction necessitated a second war, less violent, with the U.S. Government’s commitment to this struggle decisively less unanimous than the Supreme Court’s. The anti-racism non-violent army of the South was led by citizen-soldiers who, like every army, were young. Julian Bond was 20 when he went to work with the Student Non-Violent

Coordinating Committee – SNCC. Although SNCC had a few “elders” – Ella Baker, James Forman and Robert Moses – in the main it was composed of young Black students from Southern high schools and colleges. Hundreds of courageous young Black students from the south, joined by a few white Southerners, served as the shock troops in the first battles, waged in lunch rooms, bus stations, and courthouse voter registration gauntlets.

Young Julian’s political analysis, his serious demeanor, his understanding of White-Black Southern history, and his

him as an opportunity for turning the Southern U.S. anti-racism movement into a southern hemisphere movement against the racist policies of the U.S. and European nations toward native, non-whites.

With brilliant organizing and media work, complemented by a good legal strategy, the Supreme Court forced the legislature to seat one of the youngest state representatives in the country.

Americans are the targets of a conscious dumbing-down by Tea Party extremists, who are dependent on their twisted versions of world events and history. Their cruel

command of English quickly won him the job of SNCC’s Communication Director. Thousands of news releases and political analyses flowed from the SNCC office in Atlanta.

Since its field secretaries were continually being arrested, beaten up, and threatened with death, and they had sworn to forego the right to self-defense, Bond’s ability to alert national television and print media to where people were being attacked probably saved many SNCC activists and grass roots leaders.

When Black soldiers came home from Vietnam describing the atrocities they had seen the U.S. commit against the tiny country’s non-white peasants, it was not long for Julian and SNCC to begin protesting these atrocities.

Soon the Georgia Legislature, dripping with the money being spent by the U.S. military across Georgia, decided Bond’s truth-telling could not be tolerated in the legislature and ejected him from his hard-won seat. Without skipping a beat, Julian and SNCC took the attack on

policies would be immediately rejected if our kids were taught accurate history in our public schools.

This problem led to Julian's full support of the “Eyes on the Prize” film. But it also makes it necessary, I believe, to preface any comments about his contributions to the anti-racism movement with a review of certain historical facts, to contextualize and provide an evidentiary foundation for the statements of praise and thanks I want to make about my beloved brother. I know Julian would have it no other way.

After the 2nd Reconstruction was shortcircuited by the WallaceNixon-Helms-Rehnquist southern strategy, Brother Bond, in 1998, was persuaded to lead 64 civil rights veterans who sit on the Board of Directors of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Julian Bond never let us down in our efforts in North Carolina to revive SNCC’s strategy of non-violent direct action from the moral high ground. He gave us confidence to experiment with different

ways to welcome our Brown and White sisters and brothers to the central struggle against racism.

Yes, the “Black Power” slogan and its underlying theory was popularized by SNCC in 1966. But we knew it had been vulgarized by hostile national forces and media, and that SNCC itself always supported white allies, friends and close comrades within the anti-racism movement.

In 2006, we began building the Historic Thousands on Jones Street Coalition, and Julian attended several of these annual People’s Assemblies. He encouraged our State Conference to transform our once-ayear actions at the People’s House into once-a-week actions, which the media called Moral Mondays.

Now, Brother Julian, you get a well-deserved rest. You join the nine Emanuel Martyrs in the cloud of witnesses. We will keep alive your love, your humor, and your direct way of promoting justice, as we continue the Long March.

You will be present within us as we walk in the NAACP’s Journey for Justice through North Carolina on the way to D.C. to demand a comprehensive Voting Rights Act, that five Justices – liquidating history – eviscerated a couple of years ago. As the Journey passes ALEC’s offices in Northern Virginia, a factory of poisonous boiler-plates of cruel laws for Southern states to pass against the poor, disenfranchised, poorly schooled, LGBTQ, labor, immigrants, women, and every group of people excluded from accumulating capital in the avaricious economic-political system that is playing its trump card once again, you will be with us. We can hear you saying from the clouds: AMERICA. Shuffle the letters and you get: I AM RACE. Chairperson Bond. . .

You are Present.

Julian. . . Presente’.

Enough is enough at the N.C. General Assembly Sen. Tom Apodaca was partially right We d n e s d a y afternoon when he Guest lamented the Columnist inability of legislative leaders toreach a final agreement on a state budget six weeks after it was due and just days before schools start across North Carolina with funding for teachers and teacher assistants still up in the air.

“Enough is enough,” Apodaca bellowed on the Senate floor.

But then he urged his colleagues to vote against a resolution to keep government operating for another two weeks while negotiators try to come up with a final version of a spending plan for the next two years.

Apodaca apparently was ready to shut down state government out of frustration with House leaders, but that’s no solution and only a handful of his fellow Senators agreed with him. The continuing budget resolution passed and lawmakers have two more weeks to pass a budget.

It wasn’t supposed to be this way of course. Republicans promised a more transparent and efficient government when they took over and they have been running the General Assembly for five years and have been working with a Republican governor for the last three.

Efficiency and transparency have hardly been hallmarks of their reign.

Supporters of the Republican majority have been scrambling to circulate a chart showing that past legislatures have often missed the June 30th budget deadline, and that’s true.

But the chart also shows that this is already the latest budget in 13 years and with one exception, the latest two-year budget since at least 1961.

And’s it not just a show of ineptness and inefficiency. The delay has real conse-

As a school social worker, my goal is to make sure that each child I come in conGuest Columnist tact with has an opportunity to graduate and is ready for college or a career. Each day that I walk into schools, my focus is on everything and everyone who impacts a child’s opportunity for success.

Education serves as the great equalizer and the foundation on which success is built. Unfortunately, in North Carolina, that foundation is crumbling and the future of our students is in jeopardy. It is the right of every child in this state to have a sound, basic education, but without adequate funding and resources, they are being set up for failure.

Our lawmakers, as they work to finalize a budget, need to strongly consider the impact of two very important components – how schools will function without teacher assistants and the effect opportuni-

ty scholarships will have on the educational system as a whole.

Contrary to what some may think, our teacher assistants are a vital part of the school community. They not only provide one-on-on instructional time for students who need it, but they perform various screenings and assessments with students, which assist teachers with classroom instruction. These highly qualified professionals, many of whom live in the communities in which they work, are part of a school’s educational team and are committed to inspiring students’ natural curiosity, imagination, and desire to learn.

Many of them not only serve in the classroom, also on the school buses and are responsible for safely transporting our children to and from school!

Now for a discussion on opportunity scholarships. The N.C. Supreme Court has

quences as school officials are getting ready for students to return next week with no idea how many teachers or teacher assistants they can afford to pay.

The Senate budget slashes 8,500 TAs while providing more funding for teachers to reduce class size in early grades while the House budget leaves TAs in the classroom and provides an across the board salary increase.

TAs are also bus drivers at many schools, causing many principals to wonder how they will get students to campus if the Senate budget prevails and teacher assistants are laid off.

And Apodaca’s thinks he’s frustrated.

The budget impasse and two-week extension of the continuing resolution also come after lawmakers took an unprece-

dented week of vacation in early July after missing the budget deadline and after leg-

islative leaders attended conferences in San Diego and Boston while the budget was overdue.

And to make matters worse, Apodaca and his fellow Senators unveiled a series of unwise and controversial constitutional amendments last week and rushed them through committee without a public hearing or even testimony about what the amendments would mean for the state.

The most controversial one, the socalled Taxpayer Bill of Rights, would place artificial spending limits on future legislatures and would threaten funding for education, teacher pay, early childhood programs and other vital state services.

The full Senate passed the regressive amendments on to the House and they are

now part of the swirl of activity that dominates a General Assembly as it careens towards an eventual budget agreement and adjournment.

No one saw the constitutional amendment package coming. No one had a chance to prepare for the committee discussion of proposals that could dramatically change North Carolina for the next generation.

Senate leaders simply decided to rush it through while budget negotiations were proceeding, forcing House leaders to respond and even hold a Republican Caucus meeting to discuss the amendments.

And the Senate’s not the only playing dangerous and nontransparent games.

Rep. Rob Bryan is working behind the scenes on legislation pushed by national right-wing forces that could turn over struggling public schools to for-profit charter school operators who would have the freedom to fire all the teachers.

That proposal has yet to be unveiled publicly and could appear at any moment, with no time for thorough debate or public input.

It’s time to stop all the secret scurrying around and slamming never before seen legislation through committees and floor votes.

It’s time to pass a budget that keeps TAs in the classroom and gives teachers a meaningful raise and adequately funds state services. And it’s time for lawmakers to go home.

Enough is enough indeed.

ruled that p u b l i c money can be used for p r i v a t e schools, despite what the N.C. Constitution states.

To add injury to insult, those on Jones Street are proposing additional funding to ramp up this process.

As a public school employee, I witness firsthand the great things that are happening in the schools in my district and that students – regardless of their ZIP code, economic status or educational level – are thriving. Public schools, unlike private institutions, open their doors to ALL students. Public schools are held to rigorous standards. Educators must be certified, and assessments have been put in place to ensure students are on grade level. These state-mandated requirements and accountability measures unfortunately do not apply to private schools.

As I continue to ponder all of this, I

often question …Who will be the gatekeeper for private schools? Who will be committed to the success of students? Who will ensure they receive support services like health, nutrition and transportation?

Who will ensure that teachers have professional development opportunities and the resources they need? Who is going to hold private schools accountable? Like me, I’m sure many educators find themselves in the same situation I am; without answers.

From my experiences as an educator over the past 15 years, I know that our students deserve a better hand than they are being dealt. North Carolina was once a public education beacon and the light that once shone brightly is fading. It’s time that we all face the music and commit to righting the ship before it sinks, or our children will be the ones who drown without ever having a chance to reach for a life jacket Saving them is going to have to begin with an education system that is fully funded provides the proper resources, and recruits and retains education professionals who are adequately trained and compensated.

Time is of the essence and we have no more of it to waste!

Julian Bond, an iconic jewel, will be sorely missed Jennifer Farmer

Guest Columnist

The Southern Poverty Law Center today [Sunday, Aug. 16] announced that Mr. Horace Julian Bond succumbed to a brief illness on Saturday, August 15. The national racial justice organization, Advancement Project, released the following statement regarding the passing of the long-time civil rights leader:

*Advancement Project Co-Director Judith Browne Dianis said: “A man of wisdom, courage and strong conviction, Mr. Bond was an iconic jewel who will be sorely missed. From cofounding the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee and the Southern Poverty Law Center, to serving as a state legislator in the Georgia

State Senate and the Georgia House of Representatives, to his decade-long tenure at the helm of the NAACP, Mr. Bond was an impactful leader, educator and civil rights activist. While many were never his formal students at the many colleges and universities where he taught and lectured – Harvard, American University, Drexel, The University of Pennsylvania – we are all beneficiaries of his enduring lessons on organizing against injustice and structural racism.” *Advancement Project Co-Director Penda D. Hair said: “As veteran civil rights attorneys committed to ensuring a more just democracy for all, we stood and stand in awe of Mr. Bond. In reflecting on the 50th anniversary of the Voting Rights Act, I am reminded of Mr. Bond’s unyielding work to make American democracy live up to its promise. He was one of only a few voices in America who never wavered from that mission.

*Advancement Project Managing Director and General Counsel Edward A. Hailes said: “In all respects, Julian Bond was legendary. In 1968, he was the youngest person, and the first African-American, to have his name placed into nomination for Vice President. He withdrew because he didn’t meet the constitutional requirement of being at least 35 years old. Regardless of the formal title he held, Julian Bond continued fighting for marginalized communities. It is on his shoulders that young leaders, who have ushered in unprecedented focus and attention on police interactions with communities of color, stand.” *Advancement Project Managing Director for Communications Jennifer R. Farmer said: “Many people recognize Mr. Bond as a civil rights activist, but to me, he is revered as a strategic communicator,

having served as communications director for the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee and host of America’s Black Forum, one of the longest running syndicated television shows in history.

To great effect, he used communications as an organizing and public education tool to highlight injustices, shift public opinion and secure important policy wins for communities of color. I’ve always believed communications professionals can deliver the impossible. Mr. Bond is case in point.”

Advancement Project is a multi-racial civil rights organization. Founded by a team of veteran civil rights lawyers in 1999, Advancement Project was created to develop and inspire community-based solutions based on the same high quality legal analysis and public education campaigns that produced the landmark civil rights victories of earlier eras.

Black and african lives have always mattered in Castro's Cuba Bill Turner

Guest Columnist

"What's it matter to people of color, Black americans, in particular ?" that is the question i asked myself – as i do about most things – when the U.S. and Cuba [moved toward] normalized diplomatic relations last week [aug. 15].

Cuba's Foreign Minister Bruno rodriguez pre-empted the possibility of a lecture from U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry on Cuba's record for human rights abuses and its track record of silencing political opposition and limiting the rights of its citizens. in his speech, Kerry's counterpart said, almost sarcastically: "in Cuba, we have our own concerns in the area of human rights for the U.S."

then he ticked off the flaws and faults on the record of the U.S., citing the world's highest incarceration rate, income inequality, police brutality, racism, and the rule of special interest groups on the economy and politics. the Cuban government has mattered to human rights struggles around the globe since Fidel Castro and his brother, [then]Defense Minister raul, came to power in a coup in 1959. in 1960, President Fidel Castro and the Cuban delegation to the United Nations stormed out of a midtown Manhattan hotel to stay instead at harlem's historic theresa hotel . according to the New York times, Castro felt that "Negroes would be more sympathetic" to his cause, and he drew enthusiastic crowds of supporters. he was visited at the theresa by Malcolm X, poet langston hughes, Gamal abdel Nasser, the president of egypt, and

Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru of india.

Not long after visiting harlem, Castro welcomed robert Williams, the head of the Monroe, N.C. NaaCP who fled to havana after being charged with kidnapping. Fidel supported Williams with a radio station; his fight against the U.S. government became a global case.

With Cuban support, Williams was completely exonerated upon his return in 1975, when the State of North Carolina dropped all charges. also: *Assata Shakur – the godmother of rap legend tupac Shakur – fled to Cuba in 1984 on the lam for murder charges filed in the late 1970s. in 2005, Shakur became the first woman to be named to the FBis most wanted list. there are other africanamericans in Cuba, who, like Shakur, are fugitives from U.S. justice whom the

FBi considers armed and extremely dangerous.

*Stokely Carmichael – the well-known ’60s-era Black Power disciple later known as Kwame turé – mattered to Fidel Castro; in fact, they were mutual admirers. Before his death in 1998, Carmichael sought treatment for prostate cancer in Cuba, before dying in Ghana, where Castro had earlier supported the efforts of its first post-colonial president, Kwame Nkrumah. *in a piece titled "9 instances of Fidel Castro and Cubans helping Black People Fight Colonialism and White Supremacy," the atlanta Black Star noted how Cuba has never hesitated to contribute weapons and its own military forces to freedom fighters, those the U.S. called rebels, insurgents, guerillas, and terrorists, especially in africa, such as the cases in the wars for independence

in angola, Namibia, and Mozambique. in the Western hemisphere, Cuban troops fought the U.S. military when it invaded the tiny Caribbean nation of Granada in 1983.

*Nelson Mandela, soon after being released from prison in 1990 after nearly 30 years of imprisonment, called his friend Fidel Castro, thanking him for sustaining the military arm of the african National Congress (aNC) party, which elected Mandela President of South africa.

Before and for the duration of Mandela's years as a political prisoner, the U.S. supported the apartheid system.

*Cuba offered to send its world renowned medical workforce to New orleans in 2005 when hurricane Katrina hit. of course, the U.S. State Department declined the offer. Cuba sent a large group of disaster relief per-

sonnel to haiti in the aftermath of the earthquake there five years ago.

Cuba's impact continues into the present, especially in latin america where, most notably, it assists Venezuela, a target of U.S. sanctions. Cuba is credited internationally for spearheading efforts to extinguish the ebola outbreak in liberia, West africa, last year.

the thaw in dealings between Cuba and the USa started, significantly, when President obama shook hands with President raul Castro in 2013 at President Nelson Mandela's funeral.

No doubt, Cuba will matterf even more, now that we're closer.

New Southeast Community Partnership hosts event at school SPeCial to the ChroNiCle

the children in the Southeast Ward were recently treated to a back-to-school event at Main Street academy.

During the event, students were given book bags containing school supplies and were fed. the Southeast international Community Day was organized by the newly formed Southeast Community Partnership. the team consists of several churches, organizations and government agencies. Many from the community were excited about the event and pleased to see an event in the Southeast community. the rev. anthony Jones, pastor of United Cornerstone Missionary Baptist Church, described the experience: "For 10 years, i have been serving as the senior minister of United Cornerstone Missionary Baptist Church, located in the Southeast Ward. one of my passions for ministry is working with children and youth. over the years, i’ve noticed there was a lack of positive activity for children and youth in the area. i prayed to God to provide an idea to help build upon my desire to provide succor and strength to the children and youth and in our area. as a result of the Southeast international Community Day, the

building regularly rented for events that has insulation visible through its ceiling, will be getting a drop ceiling and new, improved lighting. A skate park is also scheduled to be built on the Fairgrounds in the coming months.

The Fairgrounds offers competitive prices for event rentals, such as $900 a day plus expense for the 6,000-square foot Bolton building. Sparks said he doesn’t expect prices to go up because of upgrades.

Also part of long term planning would be increasing the Fairgrounds staff, which is small relative to other fairs of that size. This includes someone to market the Fairgrounds for non-fair activities.

City Council Member Denise “D.D.” Adams, vice-chair of the finance committee who represents the North Ward, which contains the fairgrounds, said the Finance Committee and its staff will be looking at ways to secure funding for the capital improvements, perhaps even securing grants to help speed the process along. She said the fairgrounds are a good investment.

“We need to use theses facilities to help our quality of life be better,” said Adams.

She’s especially hoping the Dixie Classic Fair Farmers, which is held every Saturday year-round, can garner more attention.

She said the farmer’s market could help those who live in the city’s food deserts, which are areas that don’t have ready access to fresh fruits and vegetables.

The operations overview said that the farmer’s market needs to keep expanding its special events, marketing and social media presence. The market currently has an annual salsa contest, food trucks and live music on some Saturdays and a $20 Challenge, in which Chef Nikki Miller-Ka prepares a meal with ingredients purchased there for $20.

The capital improvements are divided into three phases. The first phase, which costs $11 million, will take several years said Sparks.

grounds, and how to grow our fair into the most prosperous in the state.”

The master plan, prepared for the city by consultants, suggests $28.7 million in capital improvements in hopes of attracting more events outside of the fair, though fairgoers will notice the many proposed improvements as well.

The fairgrounds were donated to the city by the Winston-Salem Foundation in 1969. It currently includes more than 25 buildings on 72 acres of land. Though owned by the city, the fairgrounds is self-sustaining, generating enough to cover its expenses and debt payments. This is thanks to the successful Dixie Classic Fair. Begun in 1882, the fair has been known by many names ebefore settling on the Dixie -Classic moniker in 1956. It has grown to the second largest fair in North fCarolina and one of the slargest in the country, attracting more than 300,000 attendees a year.

While most fairs operate at a loss, Fair Director David Sparks said the Dixie Classic generally generates $500,000 to $800,000 in profit, which the fairground uses for its own expenses.

“It’s been very successful,” said Sparks. “People in the community here seem to love the fair.”

The massive fair, held Oct. 2-11 this year, includes rides, more than 200 vendors and many kinds of livestock. Usually poultry is also shown, but a state moratorium on poultry shows due to avian flu concerns will prevent that from happening this year.

The fairgrounds and its facilities are also rented for other uses year-round, such as livestock shows, comic conventions, video game auctions, gun shows and RV rallies. Sparks said that though the fairgrounds are constantly in use, it would attract more business if repairs and upgrades are made to the buildings and grounds.

“To me, that’s the thrust of the capital improvements, at least initially, is to catch up on the deferred maintenance items that we’ve not been able for the past five to10 years,” he said.

Sparks said the city hasn’t tried to do a bond for the Fairgrounds since the 1980s, when voters rejected a fairground bond. Since then, the Fairgrounds leadership has borrowed money for capital projects, which it then pays back.

There’s actually numerous improvements already in the works at the Fairgrounds that aren’t counted in the $28.7 million overhaul. By the time the fair starts, structures such as the Clock Tower and gates will be repainted.

After the fair, work will begin to fix the leaking roof in the Annex building, a large building which has been host to Juneteenth in past years and is annually turned into an ice rink for skating and hockey games starting in October.

The Midway, which is cracked and worn, will be repaved. The Bolton Home and Garden building, a

Longtime civil rights activist Julian Bond dead at 75 T H E C H R ON I C LE

A10 AUGUST 20, 2015

BY JESSE HOLLAND AND JEFF MARTIN ASSOCIATED PRESS

ATLANTA — Julian Bond, a leading figure from the 1960s civil rights movement who served as chairman of the NAACP after a long career in politics, died Saturday, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center. He was 75.

Bond died in Fort Walton Beach, Florida, after a brief illness, the center said in a statement released Sunday, Aug. 16.

Horace Julian Bond was born Jan. 14, 1940, in Nashville, Tennessee, and grew to be a major force in the campaign for racial equality. Often seen at the forefront of protests against segregation, Bond later pursued a lengthy career in politics and academia but never ceded his position as a civil rights icon.

President Barack Obama issued a statement Sunday calling Bond ``a hero.'' ``Justice and equality was the mission that spanned his life,'' Obama

said. ``Julian Bond helped change this country for the better. And what better way to be remembered than that.''

Bond burst into the national consciousness after helping to start the Student Non-violent Coordinating Committee – where he rubbed shoulders with the likes of Stokely Carmichael and John Lewis. As the group grew into an important force that advocated for social change, the young Bond dropped out of Morehouse College in Atlanta to serve as the committee's communications director.

Bond was elected to the Georgia House of Representatives in 1965 and stepped into the national spotlight after being refused his seat because of his anti-war stance on Vietnam. The case went all the way up to the U.S. Supreme Court, which ruled in his favor. Bond took his seat in 1967.

In 1968, he led a delegation to the 1968 Democratic National Convention, where his

name was placed in nomination for the vice presidency but he declined because he was too young.

He served in the Georgia House until 1975 and then served six terms in the Georgia Senate from 1975 to 1986. He also served as president of the SPLC from its founding in 1971 to 1979 and was later on its board of directors.

In 1998, Bond was elected as board chairman of the NAACP, serving for 10 years.

Former Ambassador Andrew Young said Bond's legacy would be as a ``lifetime struggler.'' ``He started when he was about 17 and he went to 75 and I don't know a single time when he was not involved in some phase of the civil rights movement.''

Intellectual and telegenic, Bond was known for his even emotional keel, and could be depended upon not to lose his cool even in the most emotional situations, Young said. ``I could usually find when everybody else was

Bond was a ``visionary'' and ``tireless champion'' for civil and human rights, the SPLC said. ``With Julian's passing, the country has lost one of its most passionate and eloquent voices for the cause of justice,'' SPLC cofounder Morris Dees said in a statement. ``He advocated not just for AfricanAmericans, but for every group, indeed every person

subject to oppression and discrimination, because he recognized the common humanity in us all.''

Bond is survived by his wife, Pamela Horowitz, a former SPLC staff attorney; his five children, Phyllis Jane BondMcMillan, Horace Mann Bond II, Michael Julian Bond, Jeffrey Alvin Bond and Julia Louise Bond; his brother, James Bond; and his sister, Jane Bond Moore. ``You can use the term giant, champion, trail blaz-

“Dudley is always tough,” he said. “We're going to give it our very best shot and see what happens.”

Meanwhile, Glenn, under first-year head coach Stephen herring, is looking to make some noise over the next few months. the Bobcats have quick-strike capability with quarterback tavis Garlington and sure-handed receiver christen Wilson. the Bobcats' operate from the spread formation, and will attack in multiple ways.

Winfield isn't talking specifics when it comes to wins and losses. Yet, it's clear that he's seen enough during the preseason to convince him that better days are coming. the Yellowjackets gave a good account of themselves in scrimmages against lexington and reagan at the newBridge invitational Jamboree last week. “there was some good and there was some bad at the Jamboree,” said Winfield.

“More than anything, i was pleased that we got maximum effort from everybody. We didn't quit and we didn't lay down. not only did we hustle and move well, but we showed that we really wanted to get to the ball. it's good to know that we have a solid nucleus to

Jac'que polite usually wins his man-on-man match-ups in the trenches. Still, he's far from being satisfied. his prime objective on every down is to get past the line of scrimmage and put the next would-be tackler on the ground. polite, who plays offensive tackle for Winston-Salem State, has proven himself as a top-tier performer. as a transfer last year, he switched from the defensive line to the offensive line and eventually became a mainstay on a unit that paved the way for 35.7 points and 442.9 total offensive yards per game.

A small army of seasoned seniors (30) are gone, which means that all those newcomers will have to gel in order for the Rams to live up to those skyis-the-limit expectations.

“With so many seniors gone, we have to replace their leadership,” he said. “There are a lot of gifted athletes who have joined us for this season. But we still have to develop chemistry with one another. Football isn't a one-person game. The whole focus is to get better as a team.”

anyone's guess as to who will start at quarterback.

Entering the final week of the preseason, Coach Willie Quick had not made a final decision between Aaron Dorer and Ryan Ayers.

Even though the QB situation hadn't been settled yet, there's no question about Grant Carter's status as the Raiders’ top player. Carter is a run-stuffer at linebacker.

Coming out of the backfield, he runs with power, leverage and break-away speed.

Carter isn't the Raiders’ sole option on offense. Wide receiver Nick Cole does his best work after the catch.

Because of his ability to change directions and accelerate quickly, Cole creates problems, especially when he gets single coverage.

“I'm confident in our ability to move the ball and put

Glenn can control time of possession with its punishing ground game. Or, it can shift gears and go uptempo with its passing game.

“As a staff, we're fortunate that we haven't had to coach effort and intensity,” said Herring. “At this point in the season, you shore up some things. That's to be expected.

Once we're able to do that, we'll be fine. We just have to make a few tweaks and fine tune.”

The Philadelphia Eagles have signed former WinstonSalem State defensive end Alfy Hill, according to an official release from the team. In order to make room for Hill, the Eagles waived injured linebacker Brandon Hepburn and defensive lineman B.J. McBryde.

Hill measures in at 6-feet-4, 283 pounds. He went undrafted in the 2015 NFL Draft. He also went unsigned until now but he did spend some time with the Arizona Cardinals as a tryout player during their three-day rookie minicamp.

Hill started at the defensive end position for the Rams, and in his two-year career totaled 57 tackles, 27 tackles for losses, 13.5 sacks, two forced fumbles and two interceptions.

up points,” said Quick. “This group loves to compete. But there are times when we don't keep our intensity level as high as it needs to be.”

This season could have its high and low moments for a Reagan team (6-3-1 last season) that features a large number of athletes who have no prior high school playing experience. For that reason, Quick has decided to avoid adding new wrinkles that might hamper the growth of a group that's young and untested.

“We'll keep everything simple and do all we can to be fundamentally sound,” he said. “Offensively, it's about our linemen staying with their blocks. On defense, we have to continue to get better at getting off blocks so we can make the plays we need to make.”

Glenn expects to be disruptive with its 3-4 defense. Tyheim Cherry, Tahliek Garnes, Alpascal Reaves and Tazmon Wilson are the leaders of a group that could prove to be one of the area's better defenses in JV football.

“The way we line up, it's difficult for offenses to determine who's coming on the pass rush and who's not,” said Herring. “The whole design on defense is based on taking full advantage of our overall speed. We have some good athletes on defense, so we draw things up which allows them to fully utilize their skills to make stops.”

The Bobcats open their season tonight with a non-conference contest at North Forsyth. Game time is set for 7 p.m.

BY TEVIN STINSON THE CHRONICLE

With the start of the 2015 football season right around the corner, most head football coaches don’t have much time for anything, but on Wednesday, Aug. 12, coaches from around the state met to discuss concussions and football safety during a luncheon for the New Bridge Bank Invitational.

This year’s luncheon was presented by the Matthew Gfellar Foundation, which was named after a student athlete who died after suffering a concussion during a high school game in 2008.

Matthew’s father, Bob Gfellar, spoke during the opening of the luncheon and talked about the foundation’s dedication to

spreading awareness of concussion prevention.

“We are really happy to be here to help bring awareness to a major problem in high school football,” said Gfellar.

“Although Matthew is no longer with us, through this foundation he will leave one forever.”

During the luncheon, former NFL players Jim Molinaro and Ethan Albright were joined by certified athletic trainers in an open discussion on football safety, concussion protocol and prevention.

Ethan Albright, who played over 10 years in the NFL, said when he was growing up nobody was really thinking about concussions or injuries. He said when he played, many athletes didn’t even report their injuries to trainers or coaches out of fear of being labeled as weak.

“Football has really changed over the years, and I think that is a good thing,” said Albright. “Back when I was in high

Randy Butt Joins WSSU Athletics Staff SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE

The Winston-Salem State University Department of Athletics is pleased to announce that Randy Butt has joined the department as associate athletics director for business & finance.

Butt, who has extensive experience in the financial aspect of college athletics, comes to WSSU from Radford university,

where he was responsible for all financial toperations, and created a fiscally responsidble monitoring and reporting structure for aRadford Athletics. e In addition, he oversaw the internal day-to-day operations of the athletics ,department, including facilities, finance, rhuman resources and event management.

- Butt was instrumental in enhancing existing and creating new revenue streams to boost the financial stability of the athlettics department at Radford. s Radford's athletics facilities reaped the benefits of Butt's financial expertise. In rApril 2011, Radford baseball played for ethe first time in its brand-new stadium, gwhich was the department's first capital dproject funded entirely through private a donations made to Radford Athletics. For othe first time ever, the Highlanders had the tcapability to host night games. The stadieum features lighting standards that meet e

the requirements of NCAA Regional Tournament host sites.

Another addition was unveiled in the spring of 2014 as Radford softball entered a new home featuring state-of-the-art dugouts, a press box and chairback stadium seating.

Butt joined Radford from Virginia Tech, where he spent 21 years working in the Hokies’ accounting office. Since 1994 he has been in charge of the Athletic Business Office, first as the Business Manager.

In 1998, he was promoted to the Director of Financial Affairs and then in 2000, he was named Assistant Athletics Director for Financial Affairs. He was again elevated in 2003 to Associate Athletics Director for Financial Affairs.

Butt began his career at Virginia Tech in 1986 as a Fiscal Technician following three years as an accountant with Woody Distributors and the Kroger supermarket chain.

“I thank our Lord for opening this door for me and my family, and also thank Virginia Tech for helping to guide my career in athletics administration,” Butt added.

A graduate of nearby Eastern Montgomery High School (formerly Shawsville High School), Butt received his Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration from the National Business College in Roanoke, Virginia. He has a Master’s Degree in Health and Physical Education from Virginia Tech.

Butt is married to the former Debi Shutters (Radford University class of 1990) and has three daughters: Mallory, Casey and Lianna.

Jim Molinaro, who played four years in the NFL with the Washington Redskins and Dallas Cowboys, also talked about the improvements in football safety.

“Football is a contact sport that can be very dangerous,” said Molinaro. “There will always be some danger in playing such a violent contact sport, but with the improvements in technology over the years, I think the game of football is becoming safer every year.

Over the past decade football safety has come a long way, according to a article on ESPN.com last season concussions were down 25%.

Zachary Smith, a licensed athletic trainer, believes concussion prevention on the high school level still has a long way to

go.

“I agree football is a much safer sport than it was a decade ago on all levels, from Pop Warner to the NFL, but I think we still don’t have enough funds to fully protect the athletes playing high school football.”

According to Smith, a number of professional and college programs have technology that will notify trainers when a player has suffered a concussion or head injury. The technology will allow trainers to get those players out of the game or practice before it becomes any worse.

“It would be great to have that type of technology at every high school, but financially that is not possible, so it is up to the coaches and training staff to monitor the athletes and know the signs of someone who is suffering from a concussion.”

The purpose statement for the observance of the Maafa celebration is “The Way Out is Back Through.” This thought implies that many people seek to experience spiritual healing from the trauma that their enslaved ancesPollard tors experienced.

Maafa allows participants to participate in collective spiritual empowerment because of the support and encouragement received on this journey toward wholeness and hope.

The events will include African food, a step show, spoken-word poetry, a drama, a march and send-off ceremony, a continental breakfast, workshop on the historical events regarding securing voting rights and desegregation in Selma, Alabama, a prayer meeting and a special worship service.

From 10 a.m. to noon, a workshop will be held on the topic “ Selma Then and Now.” Teens from the Emmanuel debate team will present poetry and speeches portraying the many individuals who are a part of the Selma legacy.

By the end of this lesson, we should • Recognize the pitfalls of rituals • Remember that God does what He says • Recommit to obedience to God’s standards

Background: Zechariah and Haggai were postexilic prophets whose ministries were directed to the first group of returnees from Babylon in 538 BC. They were responsible for rebuilding the Temple in Jerusalem. Instead they concentrated on rebuilding private homes. When the wealthy returned, they were confronted with poor Jews who never left Judah and a sizable non-Jewish population. Due to their disobe-

dience, God caused a drought so the harvest wasn’t good (Haggai 1:9-11). Zechariah cautioned them not to repeat what their ancestors had done – ignoring God and practicing injustice. After all that’s what got them (Israel and Judah) in their current predicament!

Obedience to God and practicing justice towards the poor and foreigners were mandatory. See Exodus 22:21-22; Leviticus 19:34-35; and Deuteronomy10:18-19.

Lesson: Sixty years of exile have passed when King Darius allows the first group of Jews to return to Judah.

They got sidetracked on their task but continued to fast during the fifth and seventh months annually during their
