NAACP incumbent president ousted in Saturday’s state-monitored contest
By chAneL dAviS The chronicLe
Members of the Winston-Salem branch of the nAAcP elected a new leader Saturday in an election monitored by the state office, but an appeal of the results is already being readied. isaac “ike” howard was elected president, defeating current president S. Wayne Patterson. The other winners were doris herrell, 1st vice president; harry James Jr., 3rd vice president; Stephen hairston, assistant treasurer; and Jim Shaw and Linda Sutton, who won executive board seats. But Patterson is calling the results null and void because he says two election rules were broken. First, Patterson said
Howard
votes should not have been taken using a legal pad. Some form of electronic voting or printed ballots should have been used, he believes. he also said campaign literature was passed out inside of the election venue – the nAAcP enrichment center – in violation of established rules.
Patterson
Patterson and branch executive director rev. dr. Marcus Barr said that members of the branch’s executive committee filed an appeal Monday. They are also asking the national nAAcP to intervene. it was Patterson who called for the election to be delayed in november so that the state could
over see it. he said then that oversight by the state office would quell any concerns about tampering or rigging. Patterson and Barr say they saw howard and another person passing out campaign literature in the building during the four-hour voting period. “This information was being circulated while people were voting which is in direct violation of the nAAcP constitution,” Patterson said. daphne holmesJohnson, the nomination committee chair for the local branch, said the literature, which Patterson and the others say urged voters to choose howard and other candidates, never should have been allowed in the auditorium.

An Ambitious Start
New WSSU chancellor hits the ground running

dr. elwood robinson had begun his duties as chancellor of WinstonSalem State university even before his official Jan. 1 start date. “i’ve probably been working for a while,” robinson said last week from his campus office. “once i accepted the position, i think the transition started taking place immediately by just learning more about Cotton the institution and thinking about the institution strategically. now, it’s about doing the work. i’m kind of in an assessment or evaluation mode at this point.” The 58-year-old said his first week was as hectic as he anticipated it would be. he had scheduled many meetings in advance. “i’ve been trying to meet with my executive staff and set up a bunch of meetings,” he said. “For me, this has been a personal orientation to the university and meeting with as many people as i can, as quickly as i can.” There has been great buzz about robinson, who left his position as provost and vice president for Academic Affairs at cambridge

The band rooms at local historically black high schools may soon bear the names of legendary band directors. The Winston-Salem/Forsyth county Board of education will hear a proposal on Jan. 27 to rename the band rooms at the three existing Big Four schools – which were originally created for black students during segregation – for the band directors who shaped the music programs at each school. The band room of the old Atkins high School, now Winston-Salem Preparatory Academy, will be named after harry Wheeler. Paisley high School, now Paisley iB Magnet School, will have its room named for Bernard Foy Sr., and carver high School’s band room will be named after rudolph Boone. Boone, the only living honoree, taught at carver for 25 years. he retired in 1985 after 30 years in education. carver’s longest serving band teacher, Boone’s noted career included Family Photo teaching at 27 schools Bernard Foy Sr. and winning several Teacher of the year awards. “My proudest contributions are in the students i have taught, just seeing them go out into the world and doing quite well,” said Boone, who counts current band directors, attorneys and the school system’s chief academic officer, dr. kenneth Simington, among his former students. he said this is a long overdue honor for Foy and Wheeler. he said they were outstanding musicians and community leaders. Foy, who passed away in 1984, was the first band director in the early 1960s at Paisley. his children, Bernard Jr. and Jocelyn Foy, both fondly recall the rock-A-rama student talent shows he conducted in which students would imitate Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin, James Brown and other stars of the era. Foy was known for his perfect pitch and the formidable bands he directed. Jocelyn Foy said her father had an uncompromising standard of excellence for his students. “his expectation of you as a musician is also his

Forsyth County District Attorney, Holton said he has encouraged ambitious colleagues in the past. “When Lisa Menefee (who is now the chief local District Court judge) and I were law partners many years ago, we had similar conversations," he said. "It's a normal thing for a person with some drive and ambition to want to seek that position if that’s where your interests are.

SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE
The 35th Annual Noon Hour Commemoration of the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. will take place in North Main Hall of the Benton Convention Center, 301 W. 5th St., on Monday, Jan. 19 at 12 p.m. Dr. Sir Walter L. Mack Jr., pastor and teacher of Union Baptist Church, will deliver the keynote address for the event, the longest ongoing MLK observance in North Carolina. The theme of "Keep Moving Forward: the Struggle Continues" pays homage to Dr. King and the countless who sacrificed their lives, blood and freedom for the civil rights that are now under attack. Longtime community advocate State Sen. Earline Parmon will receive the MLK Dare to Make a Difference Award and former awardee the late Dr. Maya Angelou will be remembered. She was a speaker at the third annual event in 1983. The Twin City Choristers will perform. The event is sponsored by the MLK Noon Hour Commemoration Committee, which was founded/ organized by Mütter D. Evans in 1981. It is free and open to the public.
The 2014 election cycle just ended, but for a local attorney, the campaigning is just beginning - for 2016, that is. Carrie Vickery has already set a campaign in motion to run for a District Court judgeship. Vickery, who works at the Holton Law Firm, began making plans to run in 2012. She has formed a campaign committee and begun raising funds. “It has been a really conscious decision and something that I was interested in for a while,” she said. “I think it's a really important position that requires and deserves someone that is going to think through it thoroughly before seeking the seat. To me, because I’m a planner, that means thinking through it ahead of time.” Several local seats will be up for grabs on the 21st Judicial District bench in 2016. The 29-year-old is eyeing an expected vacancy. Judge William Graham, who has served since 1996, is expected to retire, forgoing a re-election bid. Vickery said if there had not been an opening, she wouldn't have challenged any of the sitting judges. “I think they’re all great judges, and I think they all bring unique characteristics to the bench. I don’t have a problem with any of them, so I certainly don’t want them to leave,” she said. The Rutherford County native came to Winston-Salem to attend high school at UNC School of the Arts. After graduating, she received her undergrad degree at Western Carolina University and then a law degree from Elon.

Bumphus inspires area educators

Born into a family of 10 children with parents who didn’t finish high school, Dr. Walter Bumphus, president and CeO of the american association of Community Colleges, epitomizes the mantra h e espouses: “education is the great equalizer.” Bumphus shared both his personal and national perspective on the future direction of higher education during Davidson County Community College’s opening session for faculty and staff on Wednesday, Jan. 7. “This is the Camelot moment for community colleges,” said Bumphus. “This brief shining moment in time, where the promise of the future that community colleges can provide for the nation’s citizenry has been realized,” noting that community colleges across the country are enjoying recognition by President Obama and appreciation at the national level. “Community colleges have been criticized for graduation and success rates that are inadequate … and rightfully so,” said Bumphus, before sharing statistics suggesting that the three most recent years worth of data on college completions indicate that community colleges are on track to meet the president’s initiative to increase graduates by 5

Burr heads committee
U.S. Senator richard Burr (r-N.C.) has been named the new chairman of the U.S. Senate Select Committee on intelligence in the new 114th Congress that was seated last week. republicans now have the majority – 54-46 – in the Senate and hold 246 of the 435 seats in the house. Burr served on the Permanent Select Committee on intelligence during his tenure in the house of Burr representatives and became a member of the Senate Committee on intelligence in 2007. “i am honored to assume the role of Chairman of the Senate Select Committee on intelligence in the 114th Congress. i have spent the better part of two decades overseeing the work of our nation’s intelligence community as it has worked to keep us, and our allies, safe at home and abroad,” he said. “Furthermore, i am proud that our North Carolina based military units continue to provide valuable support to intelligence operations and their role will likely only increase in the future. Under my leadership the Committee will conduct vigorous oversight over the intelligence activities of our government. it is my job to ask the tough and probing questions and i intend to do just that.”

When Katie McMillan became principal of Centennial Campus Magnet Middle School in raleigh in 2014, she didn’t realize she was locking herself into one pay level for half a decade. according to the principal salary schedule, it will be 2019 before she gets her next pay bump from the state, and she worries that long waits for raises could affect the quality of leadership in public schools. “i think that this is a highly complex job, and if you don’t have good principals, you’re not going to have a working environment for teachers,” she said. according to the state salary schedules for 2014-15, McMillan, who has 15 years of combined experience as a teacher and principal, will have to wait until her 20th year for a raise. That’s because for a principal who oversees between 44 and 54 teachers — McMillan the category McMillan falls under — the first level of pay is $4,918 a month or $59,016 a year. But that base level is given to all principals who fall within a range of experience from zero to 19 years. it’s not until the 20th year that the pay given by the state bumps up to $4,983 or $59,796 annually. That means McMillan has a long wait. "i think that that is not the kind of schedule that is going to hold up over time,” said state Board of education Chairman Bill Cobey. “That is based on number of years and that's it, and that's not the world we live in." and the problem isn’t restricted to principals at McMillan’s level. Those at lower levels have long waits, too, but the wait is the worst for principals at the highest level — those who oversee 101 or more teachers. Their first pay bump doesn’t come until the 24th year. The problem has been exacerbated by pay freezes that began in 2009 in the wake of the economic recession and continued through 2013, with the exception of a onetime salary increase of 1.2 percent in 2012. “With the salary freezes, the groupings have gotten larger,” said andrew Cox, section chief of school reporting at the State Department of Public instruction. To avoid increasing the salaries of principals in the first range of pay, the range was increased by one year for each year of the pay freeze by the General assembly, according to Cox. So, if the first range was 0-22 years for principals with the most responsibility one year, then the next year it became 0-23 years during the pay freeze.

Physicians at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center successfully performed a rare cardiac procedure with a technique that creates a new pathway to the heart for valve replacement on Dec. 17. Wake Forest Baptist is the first hospital in north Carolina and just the 11th worldwide to employ this method, called transcaval valve replacement. it provides a non-surgical option for patients with aortic stenosis – the narrowing of the aortic valve opening that prevents normal blood flow – when diseased blood vessels or other medical issues prevent traditional access to the heart. the proceZhao dure was performed Dec. 17 by a team directed by Dr. David X. Zhao, chief of cardiovascular medicine and director of the heart and Vascular Center at Wake Forest Baptist. the patient, a man in his 70s, responded well and was discharged from the Medical Center two days after the operation. “this technique allows us to replace the aortic valve in patients who are not candidates for open heart surgery or conventional trans-catheter aortic valve replacement with fewer risks and complications,” Zhao said. “this procedure is possible at Wake Forest Baptist because of the collaboration between our cardiothoracic surgery and interventional cardiology teams, two once-separate units that now make up our multidisciplinary heart and Vascular Center.” During transcaval valve replacement, a wire is guided up the femoral vein through the leg and into the abdomen. Doctors then cross through the vein and reach into the aorta, the largest artery in the body. a catheter is placed between the two openings and doctors are then able to deliver the new heart valve across the bridge into the aorta. after the valve is placed, the catheter bridge is removed and plugs close the holes in the artery and the vein so the two blood vessels can function as normal.
Drunk driving collisions down last year on n.C. roads

this year, the State highway Patrol will be placing more emphasis on DWi enforcement and the reduction of alcohol related collisions. the patrol will also be proactive in providing more educational programs to motorists about the importance of not driving while impaired, providing a special focus on teenage drivers. in 2014, the highway Patrol investigated 5,460 alcohol related collisions contributing to 3,697 reported injuries. also as a result, there were 181 people killed, reflecting a 20 percent decrease from the 228 people killed in 2013. throughout the state, troopers made 20,012 DWi arrest, averting an increase in the number of alcohol-related collisions. along with alcohol -related violations, the patrol made 2,390 drug charges, some of which led to impaired motorists due to illegal drugs. each year across the United States, countless lives are lost due to drinking and driving. here are some staggering
statistics: • nearly 12,000 people die every year in DWi-related collisions across the U.S. More than 900,000 are arrested each year for DUi/DWi and a third of those are repeat offenders. • in north Carolina, 9 out of 100,000 people die in alcohol-related collisions. • almost half of all drivers who were killed in collisions and tested positive for drugs also had alcohol in their system. • the annual cost of alcohol-related collisions totals more than $51 billion. “in 2015, we will continue to stand firm on our mission of saving lives and providing safe travel throughout our great state,” said Colonel Bill Grey, commander of the State highway Patrol. “our troopers will work diligently to enforce the DWi laws and remove impaired drivers from our roadways. through DWi education and enforcement along with the help of our citizens, we can and will make our roadways safer.”

Lyte, Chavis book
Civil rights leader Dr. Benjamin f. Chavis Jr., executive director of the national newspapers publishers association, and rap icon MC lyte have joined forces with the penning of “fusion: Bridging the Gap Between Civil rights and hip hop” (www.fusionthemovement.com), which spawned from a private conversation about social justice between the two icons last summer. this captivating dialogue examines how the Civil rights Movement helped with the emergence of hip hop and how hip hop continues to help the survival of the Civil rights Movement – with a rare focus on the roles women played throughout this unique MC Lyte era. Misogyny, the evolution of gender roles in the movement towards justice and equality, and the pervasiveness of music on Black culture and its global impact are discussed with the effervescence of two great leaders who are passionate about the continued advancement of people of color around the globe. a portion of the proceeds from the book benefit #educateourMen, the signature education initiative of hip hop Sisters foundation, where Dr. Chavis and MC lyte serve as Senior advisory Board Member and Chairman/founder, respectively (www.educateourmen.info). "’fusion’ and my partnership with Dr. Chavis allow me to continue to lead my generation in delivering positive images and messages about our continued efforts to achieve justice and equality, while providing access to higher education, mentorship and tools for social responsibility," said MC lyte.

with some Project Re-Entry graduates that have also been integrated into the showcase. Two pieces by Ron Hartzler, 64, will be featured – a poem he wrote for his daughter and a short story about his 42-year addiction to drugs. “Whenever I had a story to tell, I would tell it, and because of my past, a lot of my stories are sort of based on the life style I had,” said Hartzler, who credits Project Re-Entry with freeing him from addiction. The criminal justice program operates under the auspices of the Piedmont Triad Regional Council of Governments in partnership with Goodwill Industries of Northwest North Carolina. It provides classes – on everything from available community resources to job training – for inmates up to 16 weeks before they are slated to be released. Those who graduate from Project Re-entry receive post-release services assistance with things like finding student grants for college and transitional housing. Hartzler, who completed his last stint behind bars five years ago, got the writing bug seven years ago, churning out 42 pieces since. He wrote two novels by hand while incarcerated. The grandfather and Goodwill Inc. co-logistics coordinator said he doesn’t write for acclaim but because he has something to say.

Pen and colored pencil drawings by Earl Dominie are featured, including his drawing of a stylized skull. Dominie had the image tattooed on his arm while in prison. A self-taught artist, Dominie said that drawing helped pass the time during his various stints in prison. Never did he expect that his art would be featured in an exhibit. “I never thought my artwork would amount to anything,” said Dominie, who was also interviewed by students. “My family loves the stuff I do for them, that’s just about all I’ve really considered. I never thought it would be on display. It’s kind of exciting.” An opening reception for the showcase will be held Saturday, Jan. 17 from 1-3 p.m. at Sawtooth, 251 N. Spruce St. It will include refreshments, a forum with the WFU student participants and live music by Homemade Jam, a band led by Stephen McBride, who completed a two-year stint in prison in February 2014. Though McBride and his band play regularly at bars, clubs and parties, finding steady employment has been an obstacle since his release. He said

employers don’t want to give those with criminal records a chance. Saturday, he’ll perform songs he wrote while in prison, including “These Four Walls,” co-written with Eric Parnell, a fellow ex-offender whose interview exerts will be included in the exhibit. “I’ve really wrote some good stuff since being in prison,” said McBride. “I guess all the emotions and all the stuff goes to being in prison translates well into music.” Wake Forest University Assistant Professor Lisa Blee said she conceived of the project after hearing Michelle Alexander, an associate professor of law at Ohio State University, speak at Wake in 2013 about her acclaimed book “The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness.” Blee said the interviews her students conducted brought the issue home more than scholarly research did. Wake Forest student Mallory Allred said she was surprised how much she and her classmates had in common with their interview subjects and came to realize how easy it is to end up on the wrong end of the law.
The reception and exhibit are free to the public. “Release” will be on display at Sawtooth through Saturday, Feb. 28. Then it will be displayed at Wake Forest University until May, when it will go to the Project Re-entry office at Goodwill Industries’ University Parkway location.

WSSU has lost more than $35 million in state funds over the last five years because of budget cuts. Robinson said that it is important to finds ways to compensate for the loss of the funds, including by encouraging alumni giving. Robinson says he is a hands-on, easily accessible leader who will be a regular presence on campus and throughout the city. He said that he didn’t realize having a high public profile would be such a big deal until his recent visit to the campus cafeteria made the rounds on Facebook, after a student noted his shock at seeing the chancellor in such a public space. “I am always out and wandering about at sporting events, theaters, plays and I try to support students as much as I can,” he said. “I think it’s important for the chancellor to be visible because he is the face of the institution.

He said that was common of the teachers in the close-knit community back then. “School was kind of an extension of the family, of the home,” he said. “So it was more of a continuing of the belief that you can be better, so do better, that kind of attitude.” Foy would go on to become the school system’s first AfricanAmerican supervisor of music. He also had an accomplished career as a jazz artist, recording with singers like Cher and Jeffery Osborne.

School Board Member Victor Johnson supported the proposal because he said the band directors were deserving of the honor. “I think the people they’ve chosen have been awfully good role models in this city,” he said. Johnson attended Atkins, where Wheeler taught. His wife, Dr. Constance Johnson, was in marching and concert bands. Under Wheeler’s baton, the bands won competitions and earned respect around the city and state, she said. “You were just so proud to be in Harry Wheeler’s marching band,” said Dr. Johnson.

meant business. He taught as many as 8,000 students over his 30-year career. Beverly Williams, on
behalf of the Big Four Alumni Association of Forsyth County, spearheaded the effort to have the band rooms renamed. She collected hundreds of signatures, starting at the Big Four breakfast last October, to present to the school board. She said she expects to have naming
ceremonies at the schools in the next few months. The Anderson alumni would also like to someday see Shepherd’s name attached to the former band room at the former Anderson High, which is now Winston-Salem State University's Anderson Center. “It’s important to know how things got started,” Williams said. “You just walk into the band room and you don’t know it was 50 years ago that this all started, and they kept it going. Had it not been for the changes they made, who knows how the music programs would be in Winston-Salem?”

Scott’s unique style James Ewers
Guest Columnist
The most casual of sports fans lost a friend when Stuart Scott passed away on Sunday, Jan. 4. The ESPN anchor was a fixture on “SportsCenter” for many years. He had been with the organization for 21 years. What made him so different was the way in which he packaged the information that he delivered. He managed to combine a Kobe Bryant thunder dunk with one of his trademark expressions, “as cool as the other side of the pillow.” He made listening to “SportsCenter” both informational and fun. When Scott teamed with Rich Eisen, now with The NFL Network, you listened more intently because in the language of most urban youth, he kept it real. Despite some criticism from sports traditionalists, Stuart Scott invented a hiphop style of delivering sports information. Because of him, I believe more urban youth tuned into ESPN programs. He was cool, serious, thoughtful and funny during his telecasts. As I have been around students all of my professional life, you must bring your “A” game if you want to hold their attention. Stuart Scott saw the relationship early on between sports and urban communities. As a result, he developed a flair which was both appealing and contempo-
rary. It was almost like he had a crystal ball and saw the future before it got here. Now when you go to the playgrounds and to the playing fields, you see more boys and girls competing than ever before. All of this translates into more of us becoming studentathletes in college and then some of us becoming professional athletes. The hip-hop culture permeates almost everything that we do today. For example, rap-themed music is being used in television commercials and urban wear is becoming standard wear. Russell Simmons saw this shift culturally years ago and Stuart Scott created a similar movement for the sports industry. The beauty of listening to Stuart Scott was that he was bilingual. He could go straight up hip-hop on you or he could go traditional mainstream. When he would say in a half-serious way, “what had happened was” and then in the same frame come up with some interesting player’s statistics, you knew you were watching someone special. Some years ago, now iconic sports announcer Dick Enberg made two words his signature statement and they were “Oh, my.” When an athlete made a dramatic play, Enberg would say “Oh, my” which would simply punctuate and define the highlight. If you fast-forward to the Stuart Scott years, he came up with his own signature expression and that was “Boo-Yow.” So when a great play was made on the field or on the court, Scott would say “BooYow.” When you heard him say that, you knew the

moment was special. When you review the two expressions from these men, you realize that “Oh my” was traditional and “Boo-Yow” was well, nontraditional. No, let’s just say it came from Scott’s hip-hop lexicon. It was sometime after watching him that I found out that we both grew up in Winston-Salem. I guess you can say it is a long way from Winston-Salem to the ESPN studios in Bristol, Connecticut. He and I are also members of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Inc., the nation’s oldest black Greek letter organization. Like you, I will miss Stuart Scott for his dynamism, creativity and charm. We watched him because we felt at home with him. He gave us the news of victory and defeat in a way that captured our imagination. Tributes and comments have come in from all across the country, including a tribute from President Barack Obama. Sage Steele, current ESPN NBA host, commented on how Stuart Scott encouraged her as she pursued her craft of sports reporting. Stuart Scott was a great father to his daughters, Taelor and Sydni, and they will miss him greatly. Stuart Scott belonged to America, and we are better because he passed this way. Stuart Scott was as cool as the other side of the pillow. Winston-Salem native Dr. James B.

That’s in a state whose average yearly salary ($67,850) for administrators — including assistant principals, principals and other positions with similar job duties, but excluding superintendents — is second to last in the nation, beating only West Virginia, according to data compiled from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Cox points out, however, that the General Assembly tends to give across-the-board increases regularly. In fact, looking back to the 1993-94 school year, no more than three years have passed in a row without a pay increase, but these are mostly cost of living increases rather than raises, Cox said. The longest period of stagnation was during the recent salary freeze. Fortunately, the pay freeze thawed during the last General Assembly session. In addition to the teacher raises, the budget allowed principals to get a step increase. If that increase didn’t reach the next pay level, they received an $809 bonus, according to Lynda Fuller, information and communication specialist for the Department of Public Instruction. That may make the wait for a raise more bearable for McMillan, who should have received the bonus. All of these salary issues could have a negative impact on the desire of principals to stay in their chosen profession or teach-

Reagan blows out West
Also Community, Religion and Classifieds
BY CRAIG T. GREENLEE FOR THE CHRONICLE
A rivalry game that was supposed to be a suspense-filled thriller turned out to be a shockingly one-sided non-contest. Reagan encountered few problems in spanking West Forsyth in junior varsity basketball action on Jan. 9. The final count was a surprising 66-45 blow-out win for the host Raiders (13-2, 4-0 Central Piedmont Conference). Given the history of these two teams, there’s little doubt that the Titans will be eager for the rematch meeting on their home floor on Feb. 3. “This was by far our best effort of the Noe season,” said Coach Jeff Noe of Reagan. “It’s the first time that we played a complete game for four quarters. I told our guys before the game that with a rival coming to our place, it was important that we protect our home court and that’s what we did.” Based on what transpired in the opening quarter, it appeared that this match-up would be a back-andforth affair. The West Forsyth backcourt of Da’Sean Harrell, Dwight Palmer and Mason Matrey was able to break down the defense with dribble penetration which led to high-percentage shots. As a result, the Titans stayed within striking distance and Reagan led 16-15 at the end of the quarter. The second quarter produced a Raiders explosion that put the game out of reach for good. The Titans, outscored by a 15-4 margin in the quarter, attempted to respond, but had no answers. Untimely floor errors combined with cold shooting

The Winston-Salem State University Lady Rams track & field team shook off the rust to turn in some strong performances at the 2015 Wake Forest Invitational Indoor Track & Field Meet at the JDL Fast Track last weekend. It was the team’s first event since returning from the Christmas break. Junior sprinter Nya Michaux had one of the top performances of the day, placing fourth in the women’s 200m run. She recorded a 25.68 in the event to lead all NCAA Division II competitors. The trio of sophomore Micalyne Zimmerman (9th), junior Danisha Wiggins (10th) and senior Michelle Turner (11th) had solid efforts in the women’s 1-mile run. Zimmerman led the way with a time of 5:46.51, while Wiggins finished in 5:48.63 and Turner posted a 6:00.33. The Lady Rams’ 4x400m relay team also had a strong day with a 4:03.48 to finish fourth at the meet.

She recorded a 17’7” (5.36m). The Lady Rams will return to action this weekend when they return to the JDL Fast Track to host the 2015 Winston-Salem State Open.
Whether or not Walkertown’s junior varsity finishes above the break-even point for this season remains to be seen. But for now, there’s one certainty – the Wolfpack is indeed a work-in-progress. The early weeks of the season gave Coach Maurio Burrell a preview of what has transpired for his team up to now. In late November, Walkertown got steamrolled in a 56-34 road loss to Rockingham County. Nine days later, the Wo l f p a c k s t u n n e d Rockingham in a thrilling 53-52 win on its home floor. “That last game (against Rockingham) is still the best game that they’ve played all season,” said Burrell. “The intensity and focus was unbel i e v a b l e . Hopefully, we’ll reach a point where we can c o n s i s t e n t l y Antoine Lowery directs traffic for duplicate that the Wolfpack. effort for the rest of this season.” Inconsistency is the key reason behind the Wolfpack’s rollercoaster season so far. In posting a relatively easy 5143 victory over North Stokes on Jan. 6, Walkertown wasted no time in building a sizeable margin in the first half. The problem was that Burrell’s squad played sporadically for the remainder of the contest. As a result, the final score was not an accurate reflection of the Wolfpack’s overall dominance. Late in the second quarter, Walkertown (5-8, 1-3 Northwest 1A Conference) seized command and led 2714. But midway through the third quarter, the momentum started to shift in the opposite direction. The visiting Vikings stormed back and reduced the Wolfpack’s double-digits lead to 34-32. Walkertown responded with an offensive flurry of its own and regained control. North Stokes never got closer than eight points after that. “The game was more difficult than it should’ve been,”
Ambitious Lady Rams win first CIAA game

Winston-Salem State’s women’s basketball team finally got over the hump and won its first CIAA game of the season. Now it remains to be seen how far this group will go in A.G. Hall’s third season as head coach. The Lady Rams (5-9, 1-3 CIAA as of Jan. 11) haven’t reached the break-even point just yet, but there are signs that better days might come soon. For starters, most of the team is healthy again. So, Hall will have to determine which combinations will work best in the coming weeks. WSSU got a solid day’s work from guard Taylar Wells in a 66-57 win over Virginia State on Jan. 8. Wells, who had been sidelined with a knee injury, scored a team-high 18 points in her second game back since her return. Reliable power forward Dionna Scott more than held her own inside the paint with 13 points and 9 rebounds. Two days later, the Lady Rams went into a tailspin in a 53-44 loss to Hall Chowan University. Hall’s team took a beating on the boards (outrebounded by a 56-38 margin) and ice-cold shooting didn’t help matters any. WSSU converted just 16-of-66 shots from the field (24.2 percent). The women trailed 44-25 with 6:16 to go in second half and closed out the remainder of the See Lady Rams on B2

game with a 19-9 run, but it wasn’t nearly enough. Scott contributed 12 points and 3 rebounds. Back-up guard Kesheria Mcneil came off the bench to contribute 12 points, 2 assists and 2 steals. Hall was satisfied with what he witnessed in his team’s first conference win. “Against Virginia State, we showed that we’re growing,” he said. “With all the injuries we’ve had, we’ve had to go with so many different lineups. Under those conditions, it’s difficult to develop the team chemistry that’s necessary to be successful. now that we have a full complement of players, we’re in a much better situation.” in order for the Lady rams to distinguish themselves as legitimate contenders in the CiAA Southern Division, it’s mandatory that they avoid second-half lapses. Such was the case in a conference game at Bowie State on Jan.5. WSSU put together an impressive first half and led 40-23 with 33 seconds remaining. For the rest of the

The end result was a gut-turning 77-72 overtime loss. “We put ourselves in bad positions by not finishing games,” Hall said. “We have to find a way to play better over the final 20 minutes.” At times it appeared that WSSU might suffer another lapse in its game against Virginia State. The Lady rams pulled away and went up 47-27 with
13:41 to go in the second half. The comfortable margin didn’t last. The Trojans stormed back with a 20-10 spurt of their own and pulled to within 10 at 5747. That’s when Briana Wilder came through for Winston-Salem State. The senior forward had not played much that game, but came off the bench to hit a momentum-changing 3-pointer that put her team back in control. VSU

Burrell said. “our guys made the mistake of playing to the level of competition. We got too comfortable with having a big lead. That’s what gave them the opportunity to get back in it. on the plus side, Zayonte Massey’s intensity on defense played a key role.” Walkertown turned up the defensive heat in the second half. Massey caused problems with onthe-ball pressure, which led to turnovers and fastbreak points for his team. offensively, he finished with a game-high 19 points.

Malik Miles (11 points) was the only reagan player to score in double figures. But he got more than enough help from the rest of the crew as all 14 players on the raiders roster scored. “They put us in a bind in the first quarter with their speed at the guard spots,” said noe. “We don’t normally play zone, but in this case, we had to in order to keep their guards out of the lanes.

West Forsyth had its most productive offensive output of the night in the fourth quarter (18 points), but by that time, the outcome had long been decided. Kamonyi Becton finished with 11 points to lead the Titans and Harrell contributed 10 points. “We laid an egg tonight,” said Coach Jeffrey Williams of West Forsyth. “our lack of aggression really hurt us.

Background: Most, if not all, religions have an organized system of priests. From the simple to the most elaborate rituals, the priests basically served as mediators between their gods and the people. During the era of the Patriarchs (abraham, isaac, and Jacob), the male heads of families offered sacrifices and intercessory prayers and performed simple religious functions. the hebrew term for priest is Kakan. their system became more organized as they left egypt and settled in the Promised land. “the three institutions that dominated the life of israel as she developed were the prophets, the priests, and the king” (richards’ Complete Bible handbook). it was during the exodus period that prophets and priests were called or named by God to serve. Moses was the prototype for prophets and aaron the prototype for priests. Mentioned more than 700 times in the old testament, the priests’ roles were carefully established in exodus 28-30:33, 39 and leviticus chapters1-7 and 16. they were to mediate between God and his people. in representing the people before God, they handled the sacrifices and the offerings. to represent God, their responsibilities included teaching the law, judging legal issues, watching over matters of ritual cleanness and discovering the will of God using the ephod (exodus 28:6-14). over time, they became more specialized, and the office of “chief” priest was developed. he alone entered the holy of holies in the tabernacle/temple on the Day of atonement to seek forgiveness for himself and the people. Day of atonement is also referred to as Yom Kippur. Basically, the high priest was the annual sacrifice. if he returned from the sacred place, all was forgiven until the next year.
breakfast at 10:30 a.m. Participants will walk from Mt.

Special to the chronicle
Big Brothers Big Sisters in January will recognize the men and women who have changed the lives of children in the community for the better as part of national Mentoring Month. Since 1977, Big Brothers Big Sisters has paired mentors with children in the community that need a positive role model and has served over 15,000 youth with one-to-one mentoring relationships. the mentor “Big” spends time with his or her mentee “little” once a week, providing a dependable and consistent relationship. this offers opportunity for learning and growth for both the Big and little. Many Bigs have said that they are thankful for the experience because they get as much out of it as their littles do. Mentoring is a chance to share experiences and hobbies with children. Big Brother and Big Sister mentors come from diverse backgrounds and all sectors of our community, exposing their littles to new experiences and interests that get them involved in positive activities throughout the community. locally, in 2014, there were 593 children impacted by a Big Brother or Big Sister. however, there are still littles waiting for a Big Brother or a Big Sister. a positive and supportive mentor can be the motivation and inspiration for a little to reach his or her goals. Big Brothers Big Sisters is a proven investment that leads to positive outcomes for our community. the support and guidance Bigs provide their littles helps build their self-esteem and confidence so that they may reach their full potential. Big Brothers Big Sisters encourages the community to get involved with mentoring. Big Brothers Big Sisters Services inc. serves Forsyth and Davie counties, working with more than 500 children each year. to see how to get involved with Big Brothers Big Sisters, visit www.bbbsnc.org.

vince a group of Jewish christians to remain in the faith instead of returning to Judaism. these Jews understand the role of the high priest. the author compares Jesus to the priest in the old testament. Jesus is superior because he came from God, lived here as a human and returned back to God. he knows what trials we face, yet he did not sin. the earthly priests can’t make that claim! Believers can pray confidently to someone who knows firsthand what it’s like. the earthly priests were called, but
they were sinners like everyone else. Jesus is appointed by God to be the final sacrifice for humanity. Jesus is the only intercessor because “he knew not sin.” his compassion doesn’t fail humanity no matter how sinful we are. We can always seek forgiveness! the hebrew writer refers to Jesus as the high priest in the order of Melchizedek (mel KiZ uh dek), king of Salem, a righteous king whose order will last forever, as explained in hebrews 7. the levitical order was only temporary. Life’s Application: Jesus sacrificed himself for our benefit, not for
his. the sacrifice was done only once. it doesn’t need to be repeated. he is superior to all priests. according to chapter 7 verse 26, Jesus meets all of our needs. he is holy, blameless, pure, set apart from sinners and exalted above the heavens. Who will we
follow and praise; none other than the one who cares for us, cries with us, rejoices with us, and will stand with us at the Judgment. aMen! Make a commitment to celebrate the King holiday being exposed to the positive. See you at the MlK breakfast.

“Given the environment in the United States today, we feel we need to have a serious discussion about racism,” said ernie Pitt, publisher of The Chronicle. he referred to the nation’s heated racial climate after several white police officers went unpunished for killing unarmed black people, especially black men and boys. other minorities have joined
blacks nationwide and some whites to protest those killings and what people believe is injustice. Winston-Salem is among the cities where protests have been staged. “the situation is only going to get worse unless we do something,” Pitt says. the event is free, but a ticket is required. for tickets, call 336-7238428, ext. 100.
