N.C. Supreme Court denies appeal; case is getting national attention in a new MTV series

BY TODD LUCK THE CHRONICLE

Even as the N.C. Supreme Court rejects Kalvin Michael Smith’s appeal, the case is getting national attention from a MTV documentary series that activists hope will make a difference in the controversial case.

Smith is serving up to 29 years for the 1995 assault of Jill Marker at the Silk Plant Forest store that left her with severe brain injuries. He has many supporters who were disappointed by the state Supreme Court decision.

“It missed an opportunity to restore the confidence of many in our community in the North Carolina criminal justice system,” said Stephen Boyd, co-chair of The Silk Plant Forest Truth Committee, a group of advocates who

Smith’s attorney, James Coleman, co-director of Duke

University law school’s Wrongful Convictions Clinic, said the case is not over.

“We just lost one issue and as soon as we can draft the papers, we’re going to go back into court and raise additional claims,” he said.

Coleman said the clinic has so far gotten six exonerations. He said normally the prosecutor will agree that there was a wrongful conviction in the case. That hasn’t happened in this case, which has been handled since 2008 by the attorney general’s office of Roy Cooper, who is now running for governor.

The committee continues to advocate for Smith online by posting links to a documentary series featuring his case. “Unlocking the Truth” premiered on MTV last week.

The series follows Ryan Ferguson, who was exonerated after being wrongfully convicted of murder, as he looks into others’ claims of innocence. Smith’s is one of only three cases of alleged wrongful conviction to be shown in the series so far.

Boyd, a Wake Forest University religion professor, said if Smith gets national attention, it should become an

Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Deborah Ross campaigned in Winston-Salem, stopping by the Southside Library and Forsyth County Democratic Party Headquarters on Tuesday, Aug. 23.

Ross spoke to a small group of invited seniors at the library about Medicare and Social Security.

She promised to stabilize both programs. Medicare will be insolvent by 2026, according to the Congressional Budget Office, and Social Security Trustees predict the same will happen to that program by 2034.

“I care about making sure our seniors can retire with dignity,” she told attendees.

She hit her opponent, incumbent Republican Sen.

Richard Burr, on his support of increasing privatization in Medicare. She accused him of being influenced by special interests that contribute to his campaign. She said she would do things such as raise the limit on paying into Social Security so that higher income taxpayers, like millionaires, contribute more, which she says would shore up the program.

At Democratic headquarters, she spoke to a slightly larger, diverse audience with numerous black community leaders in it. Attendees included Forsyth County Democratic Party Chairman Eric Ellison, N.C. Sen. Paul Lowe, Clerk of Court Susan Frye, Judges

WSPD takes the stage during Part Two of Black & Blue Town Hall

BY TEVIN STINSON THE CHRONICLE

There were few empty seats inside The Enterprise Center last Thursday evening, during Part Two of the Winston-Salem Urban League’s Black & Blue Town Halls.

Community leaders, community activists and other concerned residents filed into the event hall, with ears eager to hear members of the Winston-Salem Police Department (WSPD) discuss how they are trying to improve community relationships.

During the event, Chief Barry Rountree and Assistant Chief Katrina

“It will become a national embarrassment, we believe, for North Carolina,” said Boyd. “and then the question is what will the attorney general do about that?”

HB2, a law many believe is discriminatory, is resulting in boycotts of the state. Cooper has refused to defend the law in court.

Supporters of Smith, including the N.C. NAACP, have been asking Cooper to do the same with the Smith case and join Coleman in asking for a new trial.

Boyd said that the com-

Thompson took questions from residents, while detailing various ways they are working with community organizations and members to improve relations. Rountree mentioned officers have received additional training on how to deal with civilians. He also mentioned every officer is required to interact with a certain number of residents each day.

“We require our officers to get out and talk to people,” he said. ”We want the people in the city to know that we are here to protect and serve and we can’t do that without them.”

One was from the Silk Plant Forest Citizens Review Committee, which was empaneled by the City Council to review the original case, which concluded it did not have “confidence in the investigation” and found no credible evidence Smith was at Silk Plant Forest. The other was from former Assistant FBI Director Christopher Swecker, who determined a new trial was needed to answer serious questions about the case.

The N.C. Supreme Court denied Smith’s appeal last week, which focused on a 2008 affidavit in which police officer Arnita Miles said Marker identified her attacker as a black man. In Miles’ origi-

over-policing of certain neighborhoods in the city, Rountree said, “Although it may seem we are in certain places more than others, the WSPD has the same number of officers patrolling every neighborhood.”

He also discussed the Winston-Salem Police Foundation. He said his goal is to have a sports league that would give young people a chance to engage with police.

Following the event, longtime community activist Al Jabbar said although he was glad to see the WSPD engage in open dialogue with the commu-

Coleman said that he believes prosecutors may have secretly used it to influence the case, though it was not filed in court.

Smith’s appeals also accuse Detective Don Williams of not pursuing a white suspect, Kenneth Lamoureux, after he moved out of town, and instead coerced witnesses to place Smith at the crime scene. Lamoureux died in 2011.

Burr still has a money advantage, with $7 million in cash on hand in June compared to $1.9 million for Ross.

Ross answered questions from attendees on a variety of topics. On mass incarceration, she said reform was needed to keep low-level offenders out of jail, and she promised to stand up to special interests like for-profit prisons. On poverty, she said she’d create jobs with infrastructure projects, and by taking tax breaks away from companies that export jobs, while giving them to companies that bring jobs to the United States.

Ross, a lawyer and former state lawmaker, mentioned her time working with the late Earline Parmon, when they both served in the General Assembly. She talked fondly about working together with Parmon, who she said she felt very close to.

Many have attributed the serious challenge Ross is giving Burr to Republican presidential nominee Donald Tump’s effect on down-ballot candidates. Polls are finding Trump to be trailing behind Democrat Hillary Clinton and to be disliked by voters.

Ross said that she believes that in her race, voters simply dislike Burr, who she says hasn’t been serving North Carolina.

She said she expects to get dissatisfied Independent and Republican voters in November because the state is “on fire” for Democrats.

“We’re going to take the state back,” she told attendees at Democratic headquarters.

What blacks say they will lose if they vote for Donald Trump

By Cash MiChaels For The ChroniCle

When celebrity businessman Donald Trump announced his candidacy for president in July 2015, he claimed Mexican illegal immigrants were “rapists … bringing drugs, bringing crime.”

Months later during the republican primaries, Trump traveled the nation, telling enthusiastic supporters at rallies that if elected president, not only would he build a wall at the United states and Mexican border to keep the ‘illegals” out, but he would also impose a ban on Muslims entering the United states in an effort to combat terrorism.

By the time republican presidential nominee Trump got around to addressing black people two weeks ago, he was already calling President obama “the founder of isis.” african-americans, already angry with Trump for claiming that the president was actually born in Kenya, not the United states, rewarded Trump with just 1 percent black support in the latest nBC/Wall street Journal national poll. and yet, that didn’t stop Trump from uttering the following apparently to africanamericans: “you’re living in poverty, you have no jobs, 58 percent of your youth is unemployed,” Trump, talking to african-americans, said to a mostly white rally in Michigan last week.

The answer is simple: We have everything to lose,” Butterfield says. north Carolina’s only other black congressional representative, 12th District U.s. rep. alma adams, also no fan of Donald Trump, is quoted as telling The Charlotte observer several weeks ago that she was “scared” of the republican presidential nominee.

state rep.

Cecil Brockman (D-Guilford) also had hard feelings about Trump.

“Donald Trump has no real interest in reaching out to black voters,” Brockman said. “instead he wants to try and make americans forget about his divisive, hateful, and racist rhetoric of the past. if he really cared about the issues that black people face, he would actually spend time in our communities and make a real, substantive outreach. instead, he insults the very voters he claims to be courting with condescension and the echoing of stereotypes.” in Facebook responses posted for this story, black voters from across north Carolina were uniformly dismissive of Trump’s overture.

“Voting for this idiot could cause more black lives taken,” posted Tee huff, referring to Trump’s common mantra to white audiences of being a “law and order” candidate who would have no tolerance for the Black lives Matter movement. Trump has been critical of President obama’s efforts to build bridges between the police and the black community. “[Trump] only wants to make america great again for the white man by keeping the black man down,” remarked anti-Trumpster Donna spivey in a nod to

Borrowing Trump’s own question to africanamericans,” What do i have to lose by voting for Trump?” Greg “GBaby” Taylor, formerly of Charlotte, answered, “#MyDignity.” angela Marie Grimes of raleigh also answered the rhetorical question with, “My mind and my freedom.”

Most political observers agree that north Carolina is one of the key battleground states Donald Trump will need if he’s to have any chance of winning the presidency. But unless he can stop the black vote, which is 91 percent against him, he has little chance of winning.

Carver dedicates auditorium to its first principal A4 AUGUST 25, 2016

BY TIMOTHY RAMSEY THE CHRONICLE

Carver High School renamed its auditorium in honor of its first principal, Edward Everette “E.E.” Hill, on Tuesday, Aug. 23. The newly christened E.E. Hill Auditorium was revealed on Founder's Day, which is part of the school’s Alumni Round-Up Celebration.

Dr. Kenneth Simington, a Carver alumnus, was the keynote speaker and expressed his appreciation for Hill and his time spent at Carver as a youth.

“Naming the auditorium after him just signifies how important Mr. Hill was to the school,” said Simington. “He was the first leader and he had the vision and he created a legacy that still sustains today.”

Many individuals witnessed the

unveiling of the new auditorium sign, including WS/FCS officials, Carver alumni and former principals of Carver. Carol Montague-Davis, a former principal, said, “Once you are a part of Carver nation, you never leave.”

Many of Hill's family attended the program as well. His granddaughter, Denise Marie Hill-Little, gave thanks on behalf of the family. Hill-Little went on to say, “I think he would be extremely proud, and we as the family are extremely proud because we know how hard he looked and the legacy that he did leave.”

Hill was named principal of Carver, formerly Oak Grove Elementary School, in 1936. He was principal during the transition to the current location in 1951. He became president and CEO of Winston

Hill's daughter, Marie Hill Roseboro, added, “This is something well deserved because he was a pioneer and a worker. I remember growing up his main focus was Carver, Carver, Carver, so it was what he

loved doing. I think he would be proud, I really do.”

A Carver alumnus, Paul Gwyn, created the new sign for the auditorium. He stated he spent an average of 16 hours a day for two months to create the sign. He said it was an honor for him to be involved in the project.

Democratic Women hold Teacher’s Appreciation and school supplies event SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE

The Forsyth County Democratic Women held a Teacher’s Appreciation and school supplies event on Thursday, Aug. 18, at Bolton Park. Well over 100 people attended and teachers were given bags to shop among the tables of donated school supplies.

Many teachers expressed how much they appreciated being able to pick up supplies for their classroom before school started. Dr. Marilyn Baker, who is running for N.C. House of Representatives for District 74, was busy stocking the tables with donated supplies and helping teachers find what they needed. She commented, “I believe it is not only a duty, but a privilege to roll up my sleeves and help our teachers. Education is not only an investment in our future,

but it strengthens our community today.” Wiping the sweat from her face in the 94 degree heat, she continued, “Teachers are struggling more than ever with limited budgets to stock their classrooms, and families in our community are feeling the same challenge to adequately prepare their children for a new school year.”

Myra AargaardEspersen, who retired from Mineral Springs Middle School last year, brought by a large box of supplies.

She said when she went to check out at Rite-Aid and mentioned what the items were for, the cashier gave her extra coupons toward her purchase and said she was glad to help support students and teachers.

Another teacher who attended the event was Cheryl Greene, Exceptional Children’s teacher at Piney Grove

Elementary School in Kernersville. She said, “This donation is greatly appreciated. Each year it seems that I need to spend more of my own money on classroom supplies. Last year I spent nearly $1,500.”

According to the National Education Association (NEA), since 2007, the cost of school supplies and fees has jumped 88 percent for elementary students, 81 percent for middle school students, and 68 percent for high school students.

This is the third year that Forsyth County Democratic Women have held a Teacher’s Appreciation event. They will continue to accept donations of school supplies at the Forsyth County Democratic Party Headquarters, 1128 Burke St., which will be donated to the Educator’s Warehouse.

‘If you build it, they will come’

Forsyth County considers creating new business park

By TODD LuCk The ChrOnICLe

Forsyth County commissioners heard plans to turn nearly 170 acres next to Tanglewood Park into a business park during their Thursday, Aug. 18, briefing.

The land, which is off Idols road, was acquired years ago by a commissioner-appointed park authority that ran Tanglewood before the county took direct control over the park’s management in 2000. The land has been considered for many things through the years, including golf course expansion and equestrian use.

The new plan to turn it into a business park for light industrial use, addresses a challenge that the county has with a lack of available land for business development.

The plan divides the land into six lots of varying sizes. Businesses have already expressed interest in purchasing lots one and two, which are approximately 15 acres and 83 acres respectively.

“The old saying is, ‘If you build it, they will come’ and that’s what happened to this business park,” said Dan kornelis, county director of housing and community developPlyler ment.

Currently, the site is undeveloped. The county will need to develop the land, installing water and sewer to serve the businesses that will locate there.

A road will also need to be constructed to serve the new businesses. The property is part of unincorporated land and the county is looking to the village of Clemmons to annex it. The hope is that Clemmons will build and maintain the road, and possibly help pay for development.

In the next couple months, the county will need to rezone the area for light industrial use.

It will also need to approve an annexation and inter-local agreement with Clemmons, along with various other aspects of the development.

County Manager Dudley Watts said the county will make money from selling the land, so the project should pay for itself.

Marshall County Commissioner Walter Marshall said that, while county land is a precious commodity, he felt this was a good use of it that will attract businesses to the area.

“It’s a good project,” said Marshall.

County Commissioner Chair Dave Plyler also thought it would benefit the county.

“It will bring us more industries, more taxes and be good for the citizens as a result,” said Plyler.

OnceLogix makes Inc. magazine’s annual ranking

Chronicle File Photo

(L-R) Ty McLaughlin, Trinity Manning and Rod Brown founded OnceLogix over a decade ago.

SPeCIAL TO The ChrOnICLe

Inc. magazine has ranked Winston-Salem based OnceLogix 3,719th on its 35th annual Inc. 5000 list, the most prestigious ranking of the nation's fastest growing private companies. The list represents a unique look at the most successful companies within the American economy’s most dynamic segment – its independent small businesses.

“When you decide to start a business, you have an idea of the things you want to accomplish and where you want to be at some point in the future," stated Trinity Manning, CeO of OnceLogix.

“Being recognized in Inc. magazine’s list of America’s 5,000 fastestgrowing private companies in 2016 was certainly not one of those things.

OnceLogix made the list in an industry that is rarely

known for being based on the east Coast, or the South, and founded by three African-American males. We are honored and humbled at the same time.

This accomplishment has been a pleasant surprise for the entire OnceLogix team.”

Complete results of the Inc. 5000, including company profiles and an interactive database that can be sorted by industry, region, and other criteria, can be found at www.inc.com/inc5000.

"The Inc. 5000 list stands out where it really counts,” says Inc. president and editor-in-chief eric Schurenberg. “It honors real achievement by a founder or a team of them. no one makes the Inc. 5000 without building something great – usually from scratch. That’s one of the hardest things to do in business, as every company founder knows. But without it, free enterprise

fails.”

OnceLogix provides custom, enterprise-level, web-based applications with a particular emphasis on building white-label solutions for the healthcare industry.

Manning says that more than 350 mental healthcare agencies use OnceLogix services.

Sharenote is OnceLogix’s enterprise solution to manage customers’ practices daily.

“Over 15,000 mental health professionals use www.sharenote.com,” Manning says. “Our clients require specific outcomes to be delivered with a high degree of certainty. They call upon OnceLogix to simplify and organize their processes required to operate healthcare organizations.”

The annual Inc. 5000 event honoring all the companies on the list will be held Oct. 18-20 in San Antonio, Texas.

Community should help Cook rise from the bottom

The start of a new year brings excitement to all those involved: students, parents and teachers. The students, parents and teachers at Cook Literacy Model School are no exception. School started a week early, on Monday, Aug, 22, with smiling faces.

Those faces didn’t show the hard work ahead of them.

The school, as Cook Elementary School, was at the bottom in the state’s eyes. North Carolina education officials said most of the students couldn’t read. So now Cook has come to this. It has a new name, among other things.

In February, school board members informed parents that the school would be adopting the Restart model, which calls for an instructional overhaul and various other changes, including scheduling.

Most of the teaching staff and principal were replaced. Dr. Paula Wilkins is the new principal.

On Thursday, Aug. 18, Cook held a cookout to help students, parents and teachers get acclimated to the “new” school. Wilkins briefly spoke with The Chronicle’s editorial staff at the event. When asked how the community can become involved, she said she wants a mentor for every student at the school, all 220 or so students. She wants each mentor to spend two hours a month with the student at the school. The hours can be divided into half-hour increments during the month.

It’s unclear if that’s what was missing with the old Cook Elementary. Why did the students perform so poorly on tests? Would mentors have improved the scores? Will mentors help Cook rise from the bottom?

Wilkins and her team have three years to rise from the bottom. She told The Chronicle two weeks ago that in order for things to change at Cook, the community must be a part of the change.

“The key to this turnaround is letting the community in. The walls of this building don’t have the capacity to do the turnaround and impact the lives of these children. But this community has the access to do it.

“We have to wrap our arms around everyone who is willing to do this work with us.”

Community members need to help in any way they can, to help young people excel and to help Winston-Salem rise. The health of our schools reflects the health of the city. Schools attract families, who need housing and jobs. Realtors and companies look at the communities they are looking to sell houses in, or move to or expand in to ask “What is the state of the schools?” to help them make decisions. The state of the schools in an area is important to the economy of the area.

Wilkins, the head of the Cook ship, has a strategy to succeed using mentors. Let’s help her guide the ship to success so that she and her crew won’t be thrown overboard.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Resignation fails to end links between Trump and Putin To the Editor:

Paul Manafort’s [Donald Trump’s campaign chairman] resignation is a clear admission that the disturbing connections between Donald

Trump's team and pro-Kremlin elements in Russia and Ukraine are untenable.

But this is not the end of the story.

It’s just the beginning.

You can get rid of Manafort, but that doesn't end the odd bromance Trump has with Putin.

Trump still has to answer serious questions hovering over his campaign given his propensity to parrot Putin’s talking points, the roster of advisers like Carter Page and Mike Flynn with deep ties to Russia, the recent Russian government hacking and disclosure of Democratic Party records, and reports that Breitbart published articles advocating proKremlin positions on Ukraine.

It's also time for Donald Trump to come clean on his own business dealings with Russian interests, given recent news reports about his web of deep financial connections to business groups with Kremlin ties.

Keep Medicare the way it is: Vote Burr

out of office To The Editor:

Medicare is a popular, effective program. Before Medicare, only half of seniors had health coverage. Now, nearly all do.

Since its inception, life expectancy after age 65 has increased 20 percent.

Burr

Senator Burr has written a plan to dramatically alter the program. His plan would raise the eligibility age from 65 to 67 years old. It would increase Part B premiums. The plan would turn Medicare into a voucher system with seniors receiving a set amount to try and buy coverage in a market dominated by private companies.

The plan allows insurers to sell coverage that covers fewer procedures and it expands “means-testing,” all of which translates to higher bills for seniors.

African-American seniors would be greatly impacted by making health care less affordable.

Let’s keep Medicare guarantee of quality, affordable coverage for seniors by rejecting this extreme distortion and voting Senator Burr out of office this November.

George E. Curry To The Editor:

The Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) joins with members of the press from around the country to mourn the loss of George E. Curry, a pioneer in Civil Rights and journalism.

A native of Tuscaloosa, Alabama, Curry was an esteemed journalist with a career that spanned decades.

He was highly regarded as the Dean of Black Journalists for his unique perspective and engagement during the height of the Civil Rights era, and his weekly commentaries continued to enjoy wide circulation until his untimely death.

Curry started his career in journalism at Sports Illustrated and later wrote for the St. Louis Post Dispatch and the Chicago Tribune.

He would later serve in a series of lead editor roles including his tenure with Emerge Magazine and more

The CBC offers our sympathies and condolences to his friends and family, his readers from around the country, and to the countless number of individuals he mentored in the art of reporting and journalistic writing until his untimely death.

N.C. GOP emails urged boards of elections to cut access to voting SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE

RALEIGH – In a major bombshell last week, an email from N.C. Republican Party Executive Director Dallas Woodhouse was made public, urging Republican members of boards of elections to vote along party lines to cut early voting days to “support Republican positions.”

“This appalling email proves that Governor McCrory and the N.C. GOP will stop at nothing to disenfranchise voters they disagree with. The court has found that Governor McCrory and his allies sought to intentionally discriminate against voters for political purposes. Now the N.C. GOP is persisting in this effort knowing full well that it’s against the law. It’s a sad fact that the right to vote is being threatened for so many North Carolinians by their elected leaders,” said N.C. DP Executive Director Kimberly Reynolds.

Winston-Salem Youth Chorus gets education in Vienna, Austria

BY LORI PRESCOTT SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE

How many children ages 10-18 have the opportunity to sing major choral musical works with full orchestra and other adults in a foreign country?

Thirty-one members of the Winston-Salem Youth Chorus (WSYC) just had that once in a lifetime experience t h i s past June when they performed Vivaldi’s “Magnificat,” Shubert’s “Mass in G,” Haydn’s “Te Deum,” Beethoven’s “Choral Fantasia” and Handel’s “Hallelujah Chorus” in Vienna, Austria.

Dr. Sonja Sepulveda, Artistic Director, had the honor of conducting a few of the pieces in addition to other renown guest conductors as a part of the Vienna music festival performed in the historic St. Peter’s Church and Minoriten Church.

“A performing tour of Europe really bonds a group together. It is an opportunity for shared experiences, musical and spiritual growth, learning, exploring, fun and fellowship,” Dr. Sepulveda said.

“It was indeed an experience of a lifetime for these students of diverse backgrounds and ages. It also fulfills one of our missions as ambassadors for Winston-Salem, North Carolina and America. We represent all that is good and best in American young people and from this area of the country.”

Dr. Sepulveda reflected on the trip, saying, “The majestic churches where we sang, the orchestras, the musical works, the artists, the choirs and historic places where we stood, created sounds and feelings that were almost too much to take in.”

Each singer that participated from the WinstonSalem Youth Chorus not only grew musically, but each had their own personal or spiritual growth that will stay with them forever.

Here are some of their

[It is] A privilege I know that many will never know.

How is it that people from all over the world can create music together and bring such light into this dark world? One of our coordinators said, ‘When words and music come together, it turns darkness into light’ and that is exactly what we did, every day, every time we opened our mouth and every time the sound rose when we sang, so hard our bodies shook with the effort, we made the darkness turn into light.”

While much was said and rightfully so about the health hazards and infrastructure issues, the city of Rio de Janeiro was a magnificent host. Kudos and congratulations to them for pulling off an event that some months ago seemed almost impossible.

If you believe in diversity like I do, the Olympic Games set a really high bar. Men and women of all colors and shades gave us their very best and performed with great athleticism and passion.

Just watching the opening ceremony made me realize that the color of a person’s skin doesn’t matter nearly as much as some of us think it does.

Thank you International Olympic Committee for giving our minds, our eyes and our ears a brief respite from social justice issues.

Thank you International Olympic Committee for not posting security guards at the bathroom doors to determine the sex of those who used them. This issue seems to be especially troubling to the state of North Carolina, which is my home state.

The Olympic Games were designed to showcase superior prowess in a sport and they gave us enough highlights to last us

“Working with NNPA interns was one of his pleasures. He wanted our young people to develop a zeal for getting the facts right and putting the story together with depth and clear understanding. Our profession will forever miss George Curry.”

The publisher of the Wilmington Journal, another NNPA member paper, also remembers Curry fondly.

“George Curry was a part of NNPA's effort to gain pardons for the Wilmington Ten,” recalled publisher Mary Alice Jervay Thatch, who is also president of the N.C. Black P u b l i s h e r s Association. “On the day NNPA announced at the National Press Club our intent to secure those par-

Give Michael Phelps a standing ovation, as he could be the greatest Olympian of all time. His swimming skills are just incredible! He’s a bad man as he has won twenty-three gold medals in his Olympic career. By any barometer or scale, Phelps has produced at levels most of us thought were impossible.

I am proud to have Jamaican roots, so when the announcers said the name Usain Bolt, I paid particular attention. He is again the fastest man in the world in the hundred meters and won three gold medals at the Rio Olympic Games. Every time Bolt races, he carries an entire country on his shoulders. He loves the competition and responds to the pressure each time.

There were a lot of Olympic champions and they represented their individual countries well. Refugees who performed under the Olympic flag were represented and performed admirably.

As I watched each night, two athletes gave me some of the most thrilling and jaw dropping moments. First, Simone Manuel, an African-American swimmer who attends Stanford University was the first African-American female to win an individual gold medal. That was simply outstanding as she brought home a total of four medals.

Simone Biles, an African-American gymnast is being called the greatest gymnast of all time. She collected four gold medals, three of them individual gold medals. Biles is 19 years old so her future

dons, George interviewed Wilmington Ten leader Dr. Ben Chavis onstage. It brought tears to our eyes, including Ben's. Later, Ben had to admit that this was the most emotional interview he had experienced and the first time he had cried in public!

“Once we placed the request for pardons on [then] Governor Perdue's desk a year later,” Thatch continued, “George was there to ensure that our story was being told through NNPA's newswire service.”

North Carolina U.S. Rep. G. K. Butterfield (DNC-1), chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC), was one of those elected black leaders who appreciated Curry’s devotion to the truth, and commitment to shining a light on important issues.

“The Congressional Black Caucus joins with

members of the press from around the country to mourn the loss of George E. Curry, a pioneer in civil rights and journalism,” Butterfield wrote.

“George E. Curry was a giant in journalism and he stood on the front lines of the Civil Rights era and used his voice to tell our stories when others would not. The CBC offers our sympathies and condolences to his friends and family, his readers from around the country, and to the countless number of individuals he mentored in the art of reporting and journalistic writing until his untimely death.”

Tyler: “This trip has been especially fantastic! I enjoyed all of the repertoire that we sang and enjoyed the ability to sing these works in the beautiful cathedrals that they were meant to be performed in.

This and an appreciation for this type of choral music are the two things that are difficult to fnd in the U.S. The comradere of our chorus just shows that music can bring together people from all walks of life.”

Simone Biles is bright in whatever she wants to do when her career is over.

Manuel and Biles have carved out a permanent place in the Olympic record books.

In my opinion, what is so compelling about their Olympic run is the sports they competed in to win their gold medals.

If you are a parent, especially a parent of a child of color, don’t stop at the basketball court or the football field; go to a swimming pool, a tennis court or a gymnastics center. Manuel, Biles and the Williams sisters are showing us that success in these sports is possible.

Not only is it possible, you can become a star and rich, too. “The Simone Biles net worth total of $2.1 million has grown 1000% in 2016 from gigantic endorsement deals built on her gymnastics fame and excellence,” Money Nation explained to readers earlier last week. The publication added, “Just three years ago in 2013, Biles had a net worth of $60,000.”

I am sure that neither Simone thought about medals and money when they started out. Like most of us who started out playing any sport, it was just to have fun.

Their fun has obviously turned into fame and fortune. Their desire to compete increased at every level, so now here they are being beloved by millions of people.

A lot of boys and girls are involved in sports. Some of them will want to continue. As parents and grandparents, we will by chronicling history.

“I was shocked and deeply saddened to learn of the transitioning of this giant in our journalistic world,” Joyner said. “As a committed AfricanAmerican journalist, George presented the truth and nothing but the truth in the many articles and news analysis which he authored. He was very committed to his craft and possessed a keen knowledge of the AfricanAmerican community and never ducked an opportunity to better explain our position and view of things which impacted us and our community.”

Even former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton took time from her run for president to pay tribute to the veteran black journalist.

Carmen: “This trip did amazing things for me, more than I expected it to do. I found my connection. I found once again the reason I started to sing and the reason my love for music was so strong. This trip also helped me step out of my comfort zone and create friendships that will last a lifetime. One of my favorite things that Dr. Sonj said during the trip was ‘It’s not just about the music, it’s about the life lessons you will learn and the long lasting friendships you will make.’ We all came from different places but we came together as one big group and bonded through our love or music.”

Simone Manuel be involved in that decision-making process.

Sports, in my opinion, should always be fun. Learn to laugh at yourself, be a good teammate and don’t get too depressed when you lose. You noticed I said when you lose, not if you lose.

Now the Summer Olympics of 2016 are over and Simone Biles was selected to carry the American flag at the closing ceremonies. The next Summer Olympic Games will be held in Tokyo in 2020. You know someone at this very moment is in a gymnasium, on a court or in a swimming pool practicing to get ready.

That is the beauty of sports. The practices are what you do when the cameras aren’t rolling and the reporters are writing.

George Edward Curry, a media pioneer and longtime advocate for the black press and civil rights, will be laid to rest Saturday, Aug. 27, in his hometown of Tuscaloosa, Alabama, with the Rev.

Dr. Charles Steele, president and CEO of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference and lifelong friend of George Curry, announced the arrangements. The two leaders grew up in the segregated South at a time when Jim Crow laws were the order of the day. They made a pact early in life to never forget their upbringing and to work to help lift others, Steele said.

“We wanted to tell our stories, because we knew it could inspire and impact others,” Steele said. “We were two fellas from impoverished backgrounds, where AfricanAmericans endured second-class citizenship. We were able to overcome and find success. We will celebrate that success in remembering the life of George Curry this weekend.”

Salem College welcomes historic number of freshmen A8 AUGUST 25, 2016

Women’s institution welcomes largest group of incoming students in 245-year history

BY TEVIN STINSON THE CHRONICLE

At a place in time when women’s colleges are seeing a decline in enrollment, Salem College, the oldest operating educational institution for girls and women in the United States, welcomed the largest class of freshmen in the school’s history last weekend.

To help usher in a new era in the institution’s rich 245-year history, alumnae and current students volunteered to help the freshmen

class of 200 students move in on Saturday, Aug. 20.

While usually reserved for sleeping in, dozens of volunteers spent their Saturday morning hauling boxes of clothes, refrigerators and pieces of furniture into dorm rooms.

Other volunteers, such as 2014 graduate Julianne Still, were on hand to network with students and give them valuable information on college life at Salem. Still, who is a board member for Salem College Alumnae Association, said it is important that alumnae engage with incoming students early because they have a responsibility to show them the way.

“We are trying to start the relationship early because that’s where the

T H E C H R ON I C LE

full college experience will come from,” Still said.

Still mentioned that when she enrolled in 2010, she was part of the biggest class in school history. She said the class of 2020 is a testament to all the hard work and dedication by Salem faculty and staff.

“It’s cool that Dean Katherine Knapp Watts has leveraged the community in recruitment as we continue to grow,” she said.

“We are thriving, and it’s great to be a part of that.”

Incoming freshman Taylor Smith, who plans to major in exercise science said, she is excited to see what life will be like at Salem. A native of Virginia, Smith said she felt welcomed when she was met by a host of upperclassman and alumni when she

arrived in Winston-Salem.

“I don’t really know a lot of people in N.C. but, the campus really has the homey kind of feel,” she said.

When asked what she hopes to get out of her experience at Salem, Smith said, “I want to build my leadership skills and confidence as a person. I also hope to get a lot of internships that will prepare me for my future.”

Following move-in day, incoming students participated in a number of sessions, workshops, and other activities designed to build relationships, and prepare students for the long, and at times stressful journey that is college.

The first day for students at Salem College was Wednesday, Aug. 24.

From ‘lambs’ to ‘Rams’

BY TEVIN STINSON THE CHRONICLE

Last weekend more than 900 young people from various parts of the state transitioned from “lambs” to “Rams” on the campus of Winston-Salem State University (WSSU) during the “Through the Archway Ceremony.” An annual tradition, the celebration officially marks the beginning of the college journey for incoming freshmen.

The rite of passage also ends Ramdition, a weeklong orientation designed help students transition into college life and adulthood.

To begin the program, firstyear students participated in Ram Walk. a ceremony where students march through the stone archways on campus, erected in 1936 to honor of Oleona Pegram Atkins, the wife of WSSU founder Simon Green Atkins.

While walking behind university officials, faculty and staff, elected officials, and Legacy Leaders (members of SGA), the class of 2020 was filled with joy

schedule changes will give students more than a month’s time for extra learning. Principal Paula Wilkins said the goal is to decrease the learning offtime the students experience during both breaks, and summer.

“The fact that we are getting more than a month’s time of additional instruction is just great,” Wilkins said.

When school board officials first announced that Cook would be adopting the federal Restart model earlier this summer, they received a lot of backlash from parents who were concerned about the changes. Many parents argued that they were not being told what was going to happen to the school. At one point, parents even mentioned they heard rumors that the school was going to close.

While admitting they still have to build more trust with parents, Wilkins noted administrators have been working hard to connect with parents, and other stakeholders by hosting informational sessions designed to let the parents know how the school would operate and to receive feedback.

“We understand that it takes a village to raise a child,” said Wilkins.

“That’s why we have spent the entire summer connecting with students. We’ve made phone calls and even visited homes.

“We want our students here at Cook to know we care about them when they

“It feels good to finally be a Ram,” smiled Naomi Isaac from Charlotte.

She said although she was nervous at first, as soon as she stepped foot on campus she felt right at home. Isaac noted the advice she received from university administrators and upperclassman during Ramdition has fully prepared her for the first day of classes, which began on Monday, Aug. 22.

“The support has just been amazing,” she said.

“I’ve met some really great people and got some really good advice on what the first year will be like. It feels good to know that the people here really care.”

Donald Vanderhall from Greensboro said, “I’ve been looking forward to this day for a long time, and now that it’s finally here, it feels unreal.”

During the processional, more than 2,000 relatives, friends, loved ones, and even a number of alumni lined the walkways of the yard to welcome the newest edition to the family. While holding a sign

are at school and at home.”

Cook parent James Thomas said although he had his doubts about the Restart model, after seeing how much effort was put in over the break, he is confident that Cook will improve.

To wrap-up the summer, Cook held a back-toschool cookout during open house for students and their parents. After meeting their new teachers, each student was given a backpack filled with school supplies. On the first day of school, most s t u dents walked i n t o classes with a smile on their faces, Wilkins greeted by teachers they have already seen multiple times over the summer.

Although the effort is still in the early stages, Superintendent Beverly Emory is a strong believer that things will turn around. She noted after seeing students, teachers, parents and others interact during open house and on the first day of school, she knows officials made the right decision to adopt the Restart model.

“Last week at open house, you couldn’t move because all of the parents, family, and community members who were there to support the students,” continued Emory. “After seeing the support they received, I knew we made the right decision. I am excited to see what the future holds for Cook.”

On Saturday, Aug, 20, the incoming class of freshmen at Winston-Salem State University participated in the annual “Through the Archway Ceremony,” which marks the beginning of the college journey. The Ram Walk was part of the ceremony.

honoring the class of 1994, Althea Scott said she felt it was her duty to help welcome the largest group of freshman since 2008.

“I think I may have been the loudest person here,” laughed Scott. “I remember my own ceremony and I just wanted the incoming freshmen to know that they have the full support of the alumni.”

The march ended at the K. R. Williams Auditorium where Chancellor Elwood Robinson and SGA President Mona Zahir and others addressed the sea of students that filled every seat in the bottom portion of the auditorium.

“You are coming to a

very special place. A place unlike anything you have ever seen or experienced,” said Robinson. “We welcome you to WinstonSalem State University.”

Robinson said WSSU sits on an amazing platform that is guided by principles laid down by the founder in 1892. He also briefly discussed the new strategic plan adopted earlier this year that is designed to prepare students for a world that doesn’t even exist yet.

“Those principles give us the motivation, strength, and drive to do the work we do here every day,” he continued. “When you leave here you will be designers of a new world order.

“We stand ready to provide each student with an education like none other,” Robinson said.

Next, Zahir talked about the WSSU experience and the importance of taking advantage of all the opportunities that the HBCU has to offer. She said what she loves most about WSSU is that you don’t need a title to be a leader.

“I’m so proud to be a part of a university that allows us to grow and cultivate ourselves in a way that fits us best,” she noted.

“All the resources you need to be successful are right here at this school.”

Before leaving the

stage, Zahir challenged the freshman class to follow their passion.

“Don’t be afraid of something you can’t see.

You guys are the class of 2020 for a reason; take this experience and go beyond the classroom. Find knowledge and intellect in everything that you find.”

When asked about the expectations for the incoming class of freshmen, Provost and Assistant Chancellor Brenda Allen said, “When I look at 2020, I want a class that goes on to change the world.

“I want them to go on and do things that are outside of the box and compete globally,” she said. “If

Youth football leagues are the purist form of the sport in the eyes of many. The young people who make up these leagues play for the love of the game. The Central Carolina Youth Football League (CCYFL) held a jamboree Saturday, Aug. 20, at Carver High School.

The CCYFL includes teams from all across the state of North Carolina and the Youth Character Football League (YCFL), based out of Union Baptist Church, is one of them. The YCFL was created to help combat childhood obesity and to give the young people something to participate in. The league has been in existence for seven years.

Glenn JV uses second half surge to beat N. Forsyth

14-6

The Glenn JV defense swarms the ball carrier from N Forsyth.

BY TIMOTHY RAMSEY THE CHRONICLE

The first game of the year usually comes with some nervousness and a few mental errors as the players knock the rust off from the summer. Last Thursday, Glenn's JV was able to overcome the rust and pull out a victory against North Forsyth, 14 to 6.

Neither team was able to establish any sort of continuity on offense during the first half of play. North was unable to get out of its own way with botched center to quarterback exchanges, missed assignments on the offensive line and key turnovers. Glenn was able to drive the ball into North territory multiple times in the first half but kept coming up empty. Glenn's defense was the most consistent group on the field all night.

Glenn Head coach Stephen Herring Jr. said it felt great to “get the monkey off their back” by winning the first

game of the year.

“Our defense played huge tonight. If it wasn’t for the four turnovers and getting us good field position, who knows it;s how things would have turned out. Its much easier to score on a 40-yard drive than an 80 yard.”

Glenn was able to control the line of scrimmage on defense, which kept North Forsyth off balance for most of the game. On offense, Glenn went to wide receiver Christen Wilson early and often with hitches and quick screens that opened up the running game for Mekhi Fenner, who scored twice, and others.

“Christen Wilson is one of our big time players, and

The Smoothie King

we went to him early. By doing that, it opened up the passing game for other receivers like Davieyon AllsbrookMiller, who had a big night receiving for us as well as our tight ends,” Herring continued.

North Forsyth did not seem to get into any sort of rhythm all night long. They had issues just snapping the ball from under center and when they seemed to have some momentum late in the first half, starting running back Semaj Transou had to leave the game due to injury.

Following the injury to Transou, the Vikings were not able to move the ball on the ground.

The first half of play ended with a 0-0 score. Glenn came out early in the second half and seemed to wear down the Vikings, who had many players going both ways on offense and defense. The Bobcats were also able to See Surge on B2

“Last year when I took over as director, I looked at the program and saw where it was at and where I wanted it to go, and we made the decision collectively to become a member of the CCYFL,” Brown said.

There were four age divisions that the six participating teams competed in on Saturday ranging from 6

to 12 years of age. Each team was able to play three scrimmages that gave the coaches an opportunity to asses the progress of their teams. There were multiple games being played at the same time on multiple fields.

YCFL Age 12 and under assistant coach Bernard Williams Jr. says he loves to see the passion the kids have and their desire to get better.

Williams, a former player at East Carolina University,

knows what it takes to make it to the next level and just wants the kids to continue to work hard.

“Today showed me that we need to work on some fundamentals like tackling and our blocking assignments,” he said. “I like how everyone came together in the spirit of sportsmanship. Everyone was out here competing and trying to get better and the biggest thing was that the kids had fun so that's what I like the most.”

Viking head coach Corey Stewart was pleased with the efforts of his team and says he will work on some things during the bye week to sure up some of the mistakes that were made against Glenn.

“In the first half, we had too many mistakes, but in the second half I thought we came out and played a little bit harder but the game just did turn our way,” Stewart said. “With the turnovers it’s just about execution, so when we get back to practice on Monday, we

“I wasn’t expecting the love we’re getting at this store from the community, from the area, which I am so thankful for.”

Dorsey, 41, an Indiana native, has lived in Charlotte most of his life.

He’s an Army National Guard veteran and works as an IT project manager at a bank. He’s also a married father of two, so he’s been juggling many responsibilities while making his entrepreneurial dreams come true.

Dorsey discovered smoothies during his military service. He was looking for something to help him get fit and visited a smoothie shop in Columbia, S.C. He fell in love with smoothies and has been drinking them ever since.

After moving back to Charlotte, he found a Smoothie King, which has a wide variety of smoothies that are designed to be healthy, nutritious and tasty. He said the menu was

Sam Davis, head coach for the YCFL age 12 and under team, was impressed with his team’s performance and the effort they displayed Saturday.

“We are young and most of our kids have never played football before,” Davis said. “Overall I’m pleased with the way we played. I can’t downplay the significance because we needed to go against some other teams to get a chance to see where we are and now we know. We can

now go back and make some corrections, and hopefully next Saturday we will be ready.”

Even with the blistering heat and humidity Saturday afternoon, the stands were full with parents and team supporters.

Brown said he continues to be involved with youth football because he gets so much satisfaction by “watching the glow in the young people’s eyes when they're having fun.”

He says he sees young people he has coached everywhere he goes.

“I want the league to continue to grow and to have our parents continue to participate and support us, and I want to see our kids do well not only on the football field but more importantly do well academically and as citizens in our community,” said Brown.

Late in the fourth quarter, North Forsyth had a glimmer of hope are a broken pass play when Marquez Hurst broke through the Glenn defense for a long scramble but was stripped near the sideline. The ball was picked up by his teammate Josh Reynolds, who had the presence of mind to reverse field and take the fumble in for a touchdown with 3:42 seconds left in the game, bringing the score to 14 to 6.

On Glenn's next possession, they went three and out and had to punt the ball away, giving the Vikings one last chance to tie the game but when the ball was punted, the North Forsyth return man was indecisive on whether or not he was going to pick the ball up or let it roll and he touched the ball, making it live and was recovered by Glenn.

The Bobcats then took a knee on first and second down to end the game.

like nothing he’d seen before, with so many options it took 10 minutes to decide what he wanted, which ended up being a pomegranate smoothie. He said it was the best smoothie he’d ever had.

So when he wanted to start a franchise, his mind went to smoothies. After some research, he came up with a list of 10 major smoothie chains and called them up. Smoothie King wasn’t on this list, but he was drinking a Smoothie King smoothie while going through his options. He realized the answer was right in front of him the entire time.

AUGUST 25, 2016

By TEvIN STINSON THE CHRONIClE

During the monthly Winston-Salem Forsyth County Board of Education meeting held on Tuesday, Aug. 23, alumni from 14th Street School were presented with a proclamation honoring the school that educated AfricanAmerican students before forced integration in the early 1970s.

After board members voted to approve the proclamation, Deanna Taylor presented members of the 14th Street Alumni Association with a copy of the declaration. less than two weeks ago, the alumni celebrated the history and heritage of 14th Street during the first-ever all class reunion.

Taylor, who attended the gathering, thanked the former students and teachers for informing some and enlightening others in the community about the importance of the school that once stood in East Winston.

“14th Street Elementary School is a part of history in our community. We are lucky that we have alumni here to pass that history along to other generations,” Taylor said.

Alfred Harvey, president of the 14th Street Alumni Association said the old school has a type of mystical history. He noted many entrepreneurs and other wellknown figures in the city and state were educated at 14th Street.

“When you consider that the current Mayor of Durham is a graduate of 14th Street, and all the entrepreneurs in this city like Clark Brown, and the Russell Family, you have to take notice to what was going on at 14th Street,” Harvey said.

“Some of Winston-Salem’s finest were molded in the classrooms and hallways of that school, and I am proud to be an alumnus.”

Before leaving the podium, Harvey urged the Board of Education to build a new school on the site where 14th Street School once stood. He said, “When you start talking about building, remember that the verdant greens that sits on the corner of Cameron Avenue and East 14th Street is still there empty.

“A school can still be put there that will enrich the lives of young people, just like it did for myself and many

Sunday School Lesson

A Call to Love Lesson Scripture: romans 12:1-2; 13:8-10

By the end of this lesson, we will *See what God has said about love and its application *Know that we must understand how to love others *accept that we must love those around us correctly from God’s viewpoint, not society’s

Background: We are still in corinth, a.D. 57, and paul is dealing with the intellectuals of the church of rome in the area of Jewish law. he has to placate the cerebral nature of the roman citizen to channel mindful interactions that result in fulfilling the law, Jewish law as well as governmental. even Jesus was asked about the law, and his immediate answer was loving: love for God, for self and for neighbors. Just as Jesus did, paul goes from theory to practice or idea to task.

Lesson: paul says to the church, because i know you now understand the sacrifice that Jesus has made on the cross and the benefits you enjoy as a result, you need to see that there is now a reasonable service for you. a service of sacrifice, not blood because it’s shed already, but living, living your day-to-day life unto God (vs.1). in Verse 2, paul instructs not to have thoughts, emotions or behavior shaped by the moral standards of society, but to surrender completely to the will of God and be transformed or changed daily by enlightenment of God’s will for your life and spiritual maturity leading to his “perfect will” and spiritual productivity characterized by humility. paul addresses the question of how the law may be fulfilled in a life devoted to Jesus. he plainly states that if you are truly living for christ, there is no reason to, or even desire to break the law or buck the governing authorities. paul says that believers should pay debts in a timely fashion, thereby maintaining a good reputation. Do not commit the obvious sins of adultery, murder, theft or coveting (vs. 9). these we know and recognize. any others will be taken care of by loving your neighbor as yourself.

Because love does not harm, it then inherently fulfills the law. this is by the way an obligation we all have as christians and we can spend our entire lives satisfying it.

We then have a debt of love to all people (vs. 10). “When we make every effort to treat others with the sensitivity and compassion of Jesus, we do what is prescribed in the law, for love is the essence of the law” (David c. cook, Bible lesson commentary 2015-16). true love for God does not desire harm to others. living virtuously is prescribed in Verses 11-14: With love as a motivator, believers are to be consistently compassionate and kind to others because the day of salvation is ever nearer (vs. 11). Simply stated, no one knows the day or hour of the Son’s return except the Father (see mark 13:32) so, believers are urged to keep their minds on things of christ and purify themselves from even the thought of doing evil deeds (vs. 13-14). “through the power of the Spirit, believers may live for the creator and act in ways that are virtuous” (David c. cook).

For Your Consideration: how has the Spirit transformed your preferences and priorities? What is your motivation for living responsibly?

Life’s Application: it should not be difficult to tell the difference between christians and non-christians. We should not blend in so easily. ideally, we should be transformed people who serve Jesus and show compassion and kindness to others. as christians we should live in a caring and empathetic way, and strive to live peacefully with everyone. Showing love is a great start.
