Mark Flynt, the owner of JS Pulliam Barbeque in Winston-Salem, will be opening another store in the Winston-Salem downtown area at 545 N. Trade St., next to Body and Soul. It will sell hot dogs, hamburgers and fries but not barbeque. Pulliam’s hot dogs have been called the best in the South. When asked to elaborate on why he is choosing to expand now, Flynt said he had been discussing this with his longtime friend Mark Cue (who happens to own the building) for several years about opening another business. Flynt said Winston-Salem has been doing a good job about revitalizing and felt now was a good time to do it. One of the owners of downtown Winston-Salem hot dog stand Jazzy Daugs was asked whether they heard about the move and how do they feel about the new restaurant. “We feel that our business will not be affected by the Pulliam’s restaurant, for our customers will be steady because of the quality of our hot dogs,” said Wayne Vasser of Jazzy Daugs hot dogs, which is located across from CVS downtown at the corner of Trade and Fourth streets.

In the midst of a changing downtown, a Confederate statue still stands at the corner of Liberty and West Fourth streets. It sits beside the former Forsyth County Courthouse, where it’s been since it was erected in 1905. The courthouse moved out of the building in 1974 to the current Forsyth County Hall of Justice. The building housed some county offices until 2004. The County sold the courthouse in 2014 and now it’s been remade into 50 West Fourth with 58 apartments that start $975 a month.

The Salvation Army of Winston-Salem has withdrawn its request to rezone 939 Cleveland Ave. to put a family homeless shelter there. Winston-Salem City Council was scheduled to vote on the rezoning request during its meeting on Monday, July 20, but the organization had withdrawn its request by then. During the July 20 meeting, East Ward Council Member Derwin Montgomery announced that The Salvation Army had withdrawn its request for the rezoning. By unanimous vote, the rezoning was taken off the agenda. See Editorial The nonprofit was lookcomment A4 ing to purchase the daycare building from Greater Cleveland Christian Church and turn it into a facility to house homeless families made up of mostly single women and children. Over the past months, members of the neighborhood expressed their displeasure with the rezoning. During a press conference on Friday, July 17, Maj. James Allison, area commander of the organization, delivered a statement to the media officially withdrawing the request for rezoning. “After much deliberation and with the concern for what is in the best interest of the homeless families, we have decided to pursue other options for the relocation of the shelter for women, families and children.”

There’s also a voter ID requirement being challenged, but those arguments will be heard at a later date because a law was recently passed softening the ID requirements. The plaintiffs – the N.C.

She is across the street from the Clark Campbell Transportation Center on Fifth Street. Another downtown hot dog stand owner, Frank Wilson of Frankâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Frankfurters, when asked about the Pulliam move, said that he had not heard about it. Wilson said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I believe my customers will continue to be loyal.â&#x20AC;? Wilson elaborated about having heard of Pulliamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hot dogs because a lot of his customers have eaten them, but they told him that his dogs are better; for he grills his hot dogs and believes his style is working for him. Wilson said his mission is why he is

He is across from the federal courthouse, near Subway. The Pulliamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Barbeque restaurant at 4400 Old Walkertown Road will remain open, Flynt said. The opening for the new location is planned for mid- to late October. Flynt is deciding to change his menu at his new location. When asked why the change up, Flynt said people have been asking about burgers and french fries and admits to not having the room for it at the original location because of limited space. The Pulliam business has been around in Winston-Salem for 105 years, since 1910, with the current location at Old Walkertown being there since 1938. Flynt believes that the Pulliam familiarity will help bring in more customers to the new restaurant.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s National Hot Dog Day CHRONICLE STAFF REPORT

The National Hot Dog & Sausage Council designates July as National Hot Dog Month and July 23 as National Hot Dog Day. Established in 1994, the council serves as an information resource to consumers and media on issues related to quality, safety, trivia, nutrition, preparation and recipes of hot dogs and sausages. Look out for specials throughout Winston-Salem today, such as at Sonic restaurant, which is serving $1 All American Hot Dogs & Chili Cheese Coneys all day, as well as 6-inch premium beef hot dogs for only $1

each. Nationwide, several cities and towns have special events to celebrate hot dogs. Often the proceeds from a hot dog day are given to charity. And then there is the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest. This is an annual American hot dog competitive eating competition that is held each year on Independence Day at Nathan's Famous Corporation's original, and best-known restaurant at the corner of Surf and Stillwell Avenues in Coney Island, a neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York City. The contest has gained public attention in recent

years because of the stardom of Takeru Kobayashi and Joey Chestnut. The current champion is Matt Stonie. Find more information at the National Hot Dog & Sausage Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website at www.hot-dog.org. Wikipedia contributed to this report.

After modeling an innovative program at Elementary School Academy during the 201415 school year, participants and students in the program recently produced a video, with the help of the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration.

PLAAY also helps reduce racial and gender stress related to racial and gender conflicts while strengthening individual and family stress management and racial coping assertiveness. It also designed to improve youth academic achievement and

positive parent involvement in school. Parental involvement is also vital to the program's success. The program uses the physical activity of basketball and culturally responsive group therapy to enhance youths' and their parents' capacities to challenge racial and gender stereotypes, develop interpersonal and school achievement skills, and build stronger bonds between parents and their children. Participants in PLAAY are expected to maintain

regular attendance, engage in honest dialect, extend mutual respect and consideration, complete assignments on time and, most importantly, have fun. “This program is totally outside regular school hours and we expect the students to have fun,” Davis said. “Along the way, we hope to give them strategies for managing stress during intense interpersonal situations and become more aware of the anger triggers that are likely to lead to conflict.”

Salvation Army Center of Hope.

Now what, as SalvationArmy withdraws

its request? The Salvation Army of Winston-Salem has ended its quest to obtain re-zoning for the property at 939 Cleveland Avenue in order to renovate it and move its homeless shelter for families there. The organization has decided to look elsewhere for a new home for the shelter. The Army’s Center of Hope, which is on Trade Street, fueled heated debate among stakeholders in the Cleveland Avenue area of the East Ward. The Center of Hope already is in the East Ward, but not in the Cleveland Avenue area; not in the “backyard” of those who live in the Cleveland Avenue area and those who say they have that area’s best interest at heart. On any given day at The Salvation Army’s Center of Hope for homeless families, 50 percent of the residents are children. The Salvation Army's goal is to quickly rehouse shelter residents into permanent housing and help them improve and stabilize income so that they can make an even greater positive impact on the community. The arguments made against bringing The Salvation Army into the neighborhood were that the children need to see positive role models instead of what is there in the Cleveland Avenue area. Also, the anti-Salvation Army crowd said the residents of the Center for Hope would only add to the distress in the community. So the bickering ends and the status quo remains. The question is now what? The Salvation Army requests help from “the entire community, and our city leaders, to help us continue the search for the appropriate location for the continuance of this vital service with in our city.” It is still seeking a place to relocate its shelter. The East/Northeast Winston Neighborhood Association and the Housing Authority of WinstonSalem and others who shouted “NIMBY (Not in My Back Yard)” can lower their voices and remain in a neighborhood that has a lot of problems, including lack of economic development. They have a plan to implement, but no telling how long it will take for the plan to bring the desired results. And the owners of the property at 939 Cleveland Avenue, Greater Cleveland Christian Church, will have to find another buyer. Will the NIMBY effect keep the church from selling the property at all? The effort to re-zone 939 Cleveland Avenue from a day-care facility to a homeless shelter brought out some issues residents have. It showed that the residents, along with some City Council members, know how to stop entry into the Cleveland Avenue area. The question is, do they know how to bring the kind of businesses they want to the area?

The Salvation Army of WinstonSalem is announcing today [Friday, July 17] our decision to withdraw the re-zoning request for the property at 939 Cleveland Avenue. Our intent had been to provide a shelter for women, families and children on this site. But after much deliberation and with a concern for what is in the best interest of the homeless families we serve as well as our mission of meeting human need in the name of Jesus Christ without discrimination, we have decidedto pursue other options for the relocation of the shelter for women, families and children.Throughout this process, we have respectfully listened to the concerns of manyvoices in the Cleveland Avenue community. We agree with those who point out that the Cleveland Avenue community has been long overlooked, underserved and passed over in years past. However, we do not believe the presence of a shelter for some of the most vulnerable members of our community would be a detriment to the neighborhood or a deterrent to economic development in the community. Nevertheless, The Salvation Army will no longer seek to place a shelter on Cleveland Avenue. Nor will we place shelter residents in a context where they are seen as a detriment to progress. The goal and desire of The Salvation Army remains constant – to serve our homeless neighbors in a way that honors their humanity, provides resources for them in a season of uncertainty and transition, and enables us to fulfill our mission in a manner that is consistent with our core values and vision. We extend a special word of thanks to the residents of East Winston who supported our efforts and who engaged in conversations with us to learn more and better understand this need.Our neighbors who find themselves in a season of homelessness need the support of the entire Winston-Salem neighborhood. The Salvation Army is committed to To the Editor:

the care, safety, and well-being of our neighbors and requests the assistance of the entire community, and our city leaders, to help us continue the search for the appropriate location for the continuance of this vital service with in our city. Thank you for your time, care and interest in this ministry. Major James Allison, Area Commander The Salvation Army of Winston-Salem

Keep supporting N.C. NAACP by going to trial A big THANK YOU to everyone who came out to support the N.C. NAACP and the Moral Monday Movement at the March and Rally for Voting Rights! The case is currently being heard at the federal courthouse downtown and is expected to last up to three weeks. An easy way to continue to show your support is by going to the actual trial. Court starts at 9 a.m. and goes till roughly 5 p.m., but you may come and go as you please – just be respectful. Here are some helpful things to remember: To the Editor:

1) NO electronics are permitted, and yes, that includes cell phones, so leave your devices at home or in your car. 2) You must have a photo ID to be able to get into the courtroom.

3) The H.B. 589 trial is being held on the second floor, which means you will have to pass through TWO security checkpoints – be prepared to take off your belt, shoes, and anything else with metal. 4) We know tensions are high and fraught with emotion, but while you are in the courtroom, you must remain respectful and quiet (if you don't, the judge can have you removed or even hold you in contempt of court). You really should go sometime in the upcoming weeks. Trust us – it's a true education!

Historic Class of 1970 at Anderson High plans celebration To the Editor:

Returning 45 years later .. The 1970 Anderson High class was the last class to graduate before busing was used to integrate the WS/FC Schools. The planning committee invites all the graduates and friends of that class to return to the Anderson Center on Aug. 1 to celebrate, reflect and appreciate the foundation of our molding years. We have a unique experience to share with each other and to be grateful for the experiences we shared as classmates and friends. That community has primarily been absorbed by WSSU to continue educating future generations. Many of us attended primary, elementary El-Amin and high school in that community formerly known as the Heights. Some of these students were together for 12 years and have been lifelong friends. Many of these graduates have become responsible and productive citizens. All of these graduates have a unique story to share. Teachers, administrators and friends are invited to join us as we continue to share the good times we had at Anderson Jr. Sr. High School. Join the planning team of Greg Davis, Paulette Moore, Fleming J. El-Amin, Mable Millner, Patrice Scales, Linda Flynt, Wayne Ledbetter, Gloria Flynt, Denise Harris and Rudy Anderson as we return 45 years later to Anderson. Our meetings at Forsyth Seafood are about to materialize in a thundering celebration of the last class to graduate on Aug. 1 at the Anderson Center. Fleming El-Amin

Pope Francis’ advice about equality and justice, which 2016 hopefuls can use

FORUM

Bill Turner

Guest Columnist

If the world looks like it's going to hell in a hand basket, Pope Francis preaches that the path and speed there are driven by the excesses of capitalism. The 78 year-old Argentinaborn-and-bred pontiff, who worked among his country's most marginalized citizens before becoming pope two years ago, spoke out against poverty, inequality, and official corruption recently while in Ecuador, Bolivia and Paraguay. South America, which holds 40 percent of the world's 1.2 billion Catholics, was an appropriate place for His Holiness to condemn the greed for money and call for “a global movement against the new colonialism that is

rooted in an inequitable world economic order.” Pope Francis will likely repeat those words when he visits America – ground zero for capitalism's excesses – later this summer when he addresses the World Meeting of Families in Philadelphia, and then carry his message on to NYC and DC. Sen. Bernie Sanders (D-Vermont), a selfdescribed revolutionary and socialist, sings from the Pope's songbook on income equality and is pushing front-runner Hillary Clinton on how the gap between the haves and have nots is corrupting

everything and everybody. Senator Sanders got a loud ring of cheers from a crowd of 10,000 in Wisconsin recently when he denounced the facts of income inequality in America: “58 percent of new American income goes to the top 1 percent, the top 10th of that 1 percent have more wealth than the bottom 90 percent, and the gap is wider than at any other point since just before the Great Depression.” Pope Francis’ concern for the poor in South America applies, relatively speaking, to AfricanAmericans: the typical

black household has just 6 percent of the wealth of the typical white household. On average, white households had $111,146 in wealth holdings in 2011, compared to $7,113 for blacks, according to the U.S. Census Bureau Survey of Income and Program Participation. Pope Francis' perspective on these matters places him in the center of global activities. He calls out the masterminds of capitalism around the world, whom he says are not good stewards of the environment and are too greedy to share their wealth to create the conditions for equality, justice

Growth of the North Carolina solar industry is in jeopardy

Earlier this year, N o r t h Carolina became just Guest the fourth Columnist state in the nation to top 1 , 0 0 0 megawatts (MW) of installed solar capacity, trailing only California, Arizona and New Jersey as America’s solar leaders. But despite the state’s rapid progress, the looming expiration of the federal investment tax credit (ITC) for solar energy is creating angst in the marketplace, threatening to eliminate good-paying jobs statewide. It’s no coincidence that North Carolina is ranked No. 1 in the entire South in installed solar capacity. Effective public policies, like the state's investment tax credit, renewable energy portfolio standards (RPS) and the federal ITC, are paying huge dividends for the state’s economy, creating thousands of new jobs and generating hundreds of millions of dollars a year in economic activity. Powered by a booming utility-scale market, North Carolina added 58 MW of new solar capacity in the first quarter of this year, bringing its statewide total to 1,011 MW – enough to power nearly 110,000 homes. Most impressively, the 58 MW added represents a robust 66 percent

Rhone Resch

increase over the same quarter last year. The report went on to point out that North Carolina had increases in Q1 across all solar sectors, with installed residential and commercial system prices dropping 12 percent in the last year – and down nearly 50 percent since 2010. All totaled, $95 million was invested in North Carolina in the first quarter in new solar installations – and $747 million since the beginning of 2014. A lot of this economic activity is a direct result of the federal investment tax credit. Consider what’s occurred since it was enacted in 2006: * 150,000 new solar jobs have been added across America. *Enough new solar has come online to power 4 million homes. *More than $66 billion has been invested in new solar installations. *And one-third of all new electricity added to the U.S. grid last year came from solar.

North Carolina has benefitted greatly from this ramped-up activity, with thousands of new jobs being created statewide. To put North Carolina’s remarkable progress in some context, the 1,011 MW of solar installed in the state today is twice

as much as the entire country had in 2004! Currently, there are 177 solar companies at work throughout the value chain in North Carolina, employing more than 5,600 people. What’s more, from an environmental perspective, solar installations in North Carolina are helping to offset more than 1 million metric tons of harmful carbon emissions, which is the equivalent of removing 200,000 cars off the state’s roads and highways. As it stands now, the 30 percent federal ITC will expire at the end of 2016, threatening to derail the rapid progress solar energy is making across North Carolina. By contrast, competing energy sources, such as fossil fuels, have had preferential treatment in the U.S. tax code for up to 100 years, while solar has had the federal ITC as an incentive for private investment for less than 10. As an industry, we’re strongly urging North Carolina’s Congressional delegation to support extending the ITC for at least five years. By then, many analysts are predicting, solar will reach grid parity in most electricity markets, helping to create a level playing field among energy produc-

Veto the ‘Historical Artifact and Patriotism Act,’ Governor McCrory William J. Barber Guest Columnist This afternoon [Tuesday, July 21], the North Carolina House of Representatives voted to pass the “Historical Artifact and Patriotism Act,” which makes it virtually impossible for local communities to move Confederate monuments. The measure, which came out of the House Homeland Security Committee, was fast-tracked to Gov. McCrory’s desk to be signed. The NC NAACP and Forward Together Moral Movement call on Gov. McCrory to veto this bill. The Rev. Dr. William J. Barber II has issued the following statement on their behalf: Rushing to protect monuments of the Confederacy rather than readily protecting the citizens of our state is extreme and wrongheaded. The

urgency with which the majority of our state representatives raced to protect Confederate monuments is appalling and shameful, given that hundreds of thousands of North Carolinians live without health insurance due to the General Assembly and Governor's refusal to expand Medicaid; given that thousands of North Carolinians need a living wage, that teachers need job security, that public schools need adequate funding, that our environment needs adequate protections. The extreme leadership of our General Assembly fast-tracked a bill to protect symbols of the past that embody division and secession from the Union while they remain at an immoral standstill on the critical issues of our day that would help the poor and working poor as well as address the continuing reality of racial disparities and inequality. In these perilous days, it would seem that the Homeland Security Committee might be protecting our lives instead of

the Lost Cause. While it cannot rank with public safety or public schools as a priority, communities should be able to discuss moving Confederate monuments off prominent public places like courthouse lawns. These conversations would do more to advance historical understanding than any number of monuments to the Confederacy. Museums, which are able to explain and contextualize exhibits, might well be the best place for Confederate statuary. Government-run shrines to an army that sought to overthrow the United States of America by force do not make sense. Nor can they ever represent the North Carolinians whose ancestors suffered under the system of slavery that the Confederacy left America to defend. If we are putting up Civil War-era monuments, it would be well to include a monument to the enslaved Africans who built the South and helped bring down the Confederacy – almost 200,000 AfricanAmericans, many of whom

escaped from slavery, fought for the Union. We could consider a monument to Abraham Galloway, for example, who escaped from slavery, served as a Southern spy for the Union, and after the war helped to write the North Carolina Constitution that we still use. We might also consider a monument to the roughly ten thousand Heroes of America, better known as the “Red Strings,” a secret society of white antiConfederate guerillas across the state. Hundreds of thousands of ordinary white North Carolinians believed that the Civil War was “a rich man’s war and a poor man’s fight,” objected to the tyranny of the Confederacy, which they have never voted to support, and resented Confederate conscription laws that exempted wealthy white men and their sons. As the war raged on, Gov. Zebulon Vance – who has a monument on the Capitol lawn – acknowledged that “the great popular heart is not now and never has been in this war. It was a revolution

of the politicians and not the people.” Likewise, there ought to be a monument to the Fusion Coalition of the 1890s, an interracial political force that swept every statewide election, captured the legislature, won both U.S. Senate seats, and elected a governor, too. This Fusion alliance between mostly black Republicans and mostly white Populists was imperfect, to be sure, but was also an important experiment in interracial democracy. They could not be beaten at the polls, and their extreme opponents turned to violence, intimation and fraud. The leaders who overthrew the state government in the 1898 “white supremacy campaign” are represented by statues on the Capitol grounds; their Fusionist adversaries, who are a much better example for us today, are largely forgotten. Public memorials are important. Rep. Marilyn Avila, a Raleigh Republican, states of this pro-Confederate bill: “When you talk about memorials and remem-

brances, the point of time at which they were erected is extremely relevant. A lot of these things were done shortly after the War Between the States.” In fact, virtually none of the Confederate monuments were constructed until nearly fifty years after the war. If the state had tried to build Confederate monuments shortly after the Civil War – “War Between the States” is the proConfederate term – there likely would have been civil conflict. The real heroes of North Carolina are the public school teachers for whom this legislature has shown contempt or indifference. The real heroes are those who keep struggling without living wages or health care. The General Assembly would do well to protect them before they start protecting their own “right” to tell communities what to do with their public monuments.

Rezoning from page A1

The Salvation Army must move from its current location on Trade Street to separate families from those in the corrections programs. The location on Cleveland Avenue would’ve helped accomplish that goal, but over the past months, members of the neighborhood and the Housing Authority of Winston-Salem expressed their displeasure with the rezoning. “Throughout this process, we have respectfully listened to the concerns of many voices in the Cleveland Avenue community,” Allison said. “We agree with those who point out that the Cleveland Avenue community has been long overlooked. “However, we do not believe the presence of a shelter for some of the most vulnerable members of our community would be a detriment to the neighborhood or a deterrent to economic development in the community,” Allison said. The Center of Hope, located at 1255 Trade St., is over capacity to accommodate those families in need. The Salvation Army must

house some families in hotels. The proposed shelter would be able to house 90 residents, while the current location only can hold 84. Although the shelter will not be moved to the Cleveland Avenue community, Allison said the Salvation Army’s desires remain the same. “The goal and desire of The Salvation Army remains constant: to serve our homeless neighbors in a way that honors their humanity,” Allison said. “We will not place shelter residents in a context where they are seen as a detriment to progress.” According to Lucy Painter, board chairwoman of The Salvation Army, the organization only has $500,000 to spend on a building, and they have looked at other locations in the past, but haven’t been able to find anything that

fits into its budget. “We only have $500,000 to spend,” Paynter said. ”Both programs deserve their own separate space.”

During the press conference, Allison said he hope the entire community and city officials will help find a location for the shelter. “Our neighbors who find themselves in a season of homelessness need the support of the entire Winston-Salem neighborhood. The Salvation Army is committed to the care, safety and well-being of our neighbors and requests the assistance of the entire community, and city leaders, to help us continue the search for the appropriate location for the continuance of this vital service within our city.”

The statue was erected in 1905 by the local chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy, which according to the County, still owns it.

Statue from page A1

the Confederacy James B. Gordon Chapter, who erected the statue more than a century ago, still owns it. Neither the county nor the new owners of the property have control over the statue, he said. The monument has a statue of a Confederate soldier on a 24-foot base. On its front it reads “Our Confederate Dead” in large raised letters and engraved text around the base speaks of glory and fame for Southern soldiers who died in the Civil War. A local chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy still exists. According to the national organization’s website, the group is open to female descendants of those who fought for or aided the Confederacy and is dedicating to collecting and preserving Southern Civil War history and educating others about it. The local chapter had no comment, referring The Chronicle to the state president, who also had no comment and referred the paper to the group’s national president general, who didn’t respond to an email inquiry before press time. Management at 50 West Fourth had no comment on the status of the statue, but said there has been no comments or complaints made about it by residents. County Commissioner Walter Marshal said that the statue is oftentimes unnoticed by people and hasn’t been a source of much controversy. He said he felt it didn’t belong on government property because, to him, it represented slavery and a time when the South tried to secede from the United States of America. “It has a place in our history and it should be preserved, but it should not be on government property,” Marshall said. Other Confederate monuments have been a source of contention lately around the country and in North Carolina, which has more than 100 such monuments. A bill that would require General Assembly

approval to remove monuments on public property that “commemorates an event, a person, or military service that is part of North Carolina's history” passed unanimously by the N.C. Senate in April and was approved by the House on Tuesday. The measure now moves to Gov. Pat McCrory’s desk. N.C. Rep. Ed Hanes voted against it and believes the bill was fast tracked-recently in order to protect Confederate monuments. “It’s kind of a roundabout way to end public discussion on some issues that need to be talked about from a race and history standpoint,” said Hanes. “It is a way to attempt to defuse conversations from happening that surround issues of Confederate monuments.” He said he personally feels such monuments should be removed or have something added to talk about the history of slavery in the Confederacy. A monument to the North Carolina Women of the Confederacy in downtown Raleigh was vandalized overnight on Tuesday, July 21, with the words "Black Lives Matter!" Last week in Charlotte, two confederate monuments were vandalized, one with concrete covering its words and the other with the word “racist” sprayed painted on it. On July 5, the Silent Sam Confederate statue at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill had the words “murderer” and “black lives matter” spray-painted on it. In Graham, Concerned Citizens of Alamance County is planning to ask the county commissioners to remove a Confederate monument in front of that county’s courthouse. A rally to support the monument on Saturday drew more than 1,000 participants. The rally’s sponsor was a Facebook page called “Alamance County Taking Back Alamance County,” which has a Confederate merged with an American flag as its main image and says it’s protecting “Southern rights.” The page features numerous posts on the

Confederacy, including one with Confederate soldiers saying “In the face of tyranny, they stood strong & proud. Now it’s our turn!” Confederate symbols in public places have been a source of renewed controversy after the racially motivated massacre at a black church in Charleston, South Carolina, last month. The alleged shooter, Dylan Roof, posted a photo online prior to the massacre in which he posed with a gun and the Confederate battle flag, a commonly used symbol by white supremacists. This caused a renewed debate over the flag. S.C. Gov. Nikki Haley led a push to get the Confederate battle flag removed from the state Capitol, and lawmakers followed suit, resulting in the flag’s removal on July 10. The flag had flown over the South Carolina state capital since 1961, when it was raised over the State House for the Civil War Centennial, though it’s widely believed that it was really raised to protest integration, which was common among Southern states at the time. In 2000, it was moved to a Confederate monument in front of the Capitol. It had been a source for controversy for decades, and the NAACP just ended its 15year boycott of South Carolina over the flag on July 11. Many major retailers have stopped selling the flag, such as Walmart, Amazon.com, Sears and eBay. Many public uses of the flag nationwide are being reconsidered and a #noflaggingchallenge has gone viral, with people posting videos of themselves stealing Confederate flags displayed on other people’s property. This past weekend there were clashes between protesters in Columbia, South Carolina, when the Klu Klux Klan held a rally protesting the removal of the flag from the Capitol grounds and the New Black Panther Party held a counter-protest. The protests were on and in front of the Capitol grounds.

Adams, City Council talk about initiatives at special meeting

Members of the Winston-Salem City Council take a break with U.S. Rep. Alma Adams, who is wearing the hat. Council members are: (L-R) Derwin L. Montgomery, Mayor Allen Joines, Denise “D.D.” Adams, Molly Leight, Jeff McIntosh and Robert C. Clark.

on the morning of Monday, July 20, U.S. rep. Alma Adams (d12th) joined several council members in a special City Council meeting in the Public works Conference room in City hall. the meeting started with the council members thanking Adams for attending the council meeting. then Adams discussed her serious concern with the hunger initiative. Adams discussed the roundtable meeting that was held at the food bank in winston-Salem that aims to work with children in poverty. Adams then discussed participating in the SNAP challenge with her daughter. She explained learning about the difficulties the people face trying to live off of SNAP and expressed her own difficulties, because she is diabetic. North ward Council Member denise “d.d” Adams also expressed her concern for the hunger initiative, which she said she is passionate about. Council members discussed the workshops that consisted of roundtable

Americans or latinos are not allowed to vote.” the state also argued that every North Carolinian had the same opportunity to adapt to the voting changes. lawyers for the plaintiffs used a series of witnesses to establish that socioeconomic disadvantages exist for AfricanAmericans. these inequalities result in a higher likelihood of barriers like lack of education, transportation and internet access that make it harder to adapt to voting restrictions. "what may appear to be 'equal' costs imposed by a restriction on voting practices are, in fact, more acute for Black and latino voters,” testified Barry Burden, a political science professor at the University of wisconsin-Madison. “these groups are doubly burdened because they have fewer of the resources needed to overcome those costs and vote." when state lawyers pointed out that black turnout actually rose in the 2014 election despite the voting changes, Burden said there were a couple reasons for that, which probably won’t happen again. one was the draw of the race between then U.S. Sen. kay hagan and thom tillis, which was the most expensive race in the country, inundating voters with non-stop advertising. Another was the massive efforts to educate and mobilize voters by the N.C. NAACP and the Congressional Black Caucus. Several expert witnesses testified that h.B. 589 curtailed voting practices disproportionally used by African-Americans like early voting, pre-registration and same day registration. they also said the law changed from a 12-page bill on voter id to a 40-

discussions about talks on feeding people and how to move forward where results can be measured one year from now that the people can actually see. Adams said, “living off of $4 a day is difficult, especially when you include the tax when shopping, which makes a difference.” She explained the search for organizations to partner with that will help with the initiative. the renovation of Union Station was then discussed when Adams was given an update. Union Station, which is still in the design phase, could later become a longdistance passenger rail, which can be accomplished if funding from a certain grant is received. it will help develop the station to its full capacity. Mayor Allen Joines discussed the youth Bill grant about connecting with Forsyth tech and the different ways to make training for jobs more relevant to today. Council member derwin Montgomery talked about the bill as well. he expressed tailoring programs that coincide with the need of today’s local economy. Council Member robert C. Clark talked

page bill with sweeping changes after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down Section 5 of the Voting rights Act, which required states and counties with a history of discrimination to get preclearance from the U.S. Justice department for voting changes. in regard to the voter fraud cited by lawmakers as a reason for house Bill 589, dr. Morgan kousser, a social science professor at the California institute of technology, said that between 2000 and 2013, there were only two cases of prosecuted voter fraud out of 12 million votes in the state. “it is unlikely that proven voter fraud is a legitimate explanation for the adoption of the bill,” he said. when asked by state attorneys if he could point out a legislator with discriminatory intent, kousser said he didn’t find any “smoking guns.” witnesses testified to being disenfranchised by the law. william kittrell of Greensboro registered when he was 18 but had since moved and wasn’t aware he needed to change his registration. After waiting in line to early vote in october 2014, he found out he wasn’t in the system. Before changes in the law, he would’ve been able to do same day registration and vote. “i waited to vote basically all my life,” he said. “i was disappointed and frustrated because my mom had always told me how important it was to vote.” witness terrilin Cunningham of Concord testified she has a hectic life, which involves working three jobs and taking care of a sick church member. when she squeezed in a stop for voting she was told she was in the wrong precinct. She tried to cast a provisional ballet, which

about his own difficulty with finding employees for his manufacturing company, which differs from the jobs of our fathers, because of the high volume of computer work involved today. Adams ended the meeting discussing the hBCU (historically black colleges and universities) caucus, which consists of 52 members, and how there is national dialogue about the importance of the schools. Adams then expressed the need for Pell Grants for students year round and talked about working with members of the white house with the hope of more students getting the opportunity. the meeting was attended by: Joines; earlene Parmon, director of outreach for Adams’ office; Clark, west ward council member; Jeff Mcintosh, Northwest ward council member; leslie Mozingo, washington lobbylist; Molly leight, South ward council member; lee d. Garity, city manager; Angela l. Carmon, city attorney; denise d. Adams, North ward; Montgomery, east ward council member; firefighters; and members of the Police department. she later found out didn’t count because out of precinct voting is no longer allowed. Nadia Cohen of Cary, an 18 year-old who will be attending UNC Chapel hill for college, missed the voting registration period for 2014. She said she thought she could pre-register like her older brother had done and was caught unaware of the change until it was too late. According to expert witness dr. d. Sunshine hillygus, a duke University professor, states with pre-registration have a 13 percent increase in youth turnout. the trial continues this week and is expected to last several weeks.

‘Katie B.’ Hospital alumni reunion set for this weekend A 8 J U LY 2 3 , 2 0 1 5

BY FELECIA PIGGOTT-LONG, PH.D. SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE

The annual Kate Bitting Reynolds Memorial Hospital Alumni Reunion will be held Friday through Sunday, July 24-26 at the Hawthorne Inn, 420 High St. in WinstonSalem. Former doctors, nurses and other employees, former patients, students, persons who were born there and community supporters are invited to this celebration of the hospital for African-Americans. This year's theme is “Meet Us at the 30th Katie B. Reunion!” The Kate Bitting Reynolds Memorial Hospital was built in 1938. In 1970, Katie Bitting Hospital was closed, and a new hospital called Reynolds Memorial Hospital opened to serve African-Americans. It ceased to function as a general hospital in 1972. Mack The hospital housed two schools: School of Nursing, School of Radiologic Technology, training programs for doctors to acquire medical specialities in medicine, surgery, and ob-gyn. There were also two dormitories for nursing students and x-ray technician students. “We want everyone to know that this event is to promote the mixing and mingling of the people. We are celebrating what we accomplished as a hospital family,” said Beverly Watson, vice president. “I would not be where I am today without my education there. Kate Bitting Hospital has helped us all to be responsible, contributing citizens in the community.”

In 1941, a 90-bed addition to the Kate Bitting Reynolds Memorial Hospital was funded by William Neal Reynolds, making it the third largest hospital for AfricanAmericans in the United States. Before 1938, most African-American patients who were ill stayed at home, and the minority doctors made house calls. Dr. Bruce had a free-standing surgical ambulatory clinic on New Walkertown Road The wife of William N. Reynolds asserted that the hospital should also provide avenues for medical training. The hospital housed two schools: School of Nursing, School of Radiologic Technology, training programs for doctors to acquire medical specialities in medicine, surgery, and ob-gyn. There were also two dormitories for nursing students and x-ray technician students. Prior to 1941, there were no Black hospitals for black doctors to practice in. The efforts of the black doctors, William N. Reynolds, a son of Richard J. Reynolds, founder of the tobacco company by the same name, and the Duke Endowment, the city was able to secure a hospital for African-Americans.

For defensive end Michael Bloomfield, the images are still vivid. He walked off the field with a great sense of unfulfillment in the aftermath of Winston-Salem State’s 21-17 upset loss to Virginia State in the CIAA championship game last November. This season-ending defeat ended the Rams’ 32game conference win streak. But most importantly, it cost them a berth in the NCAA Division II playoffs. WSSU would be forced to watch the action as bystanders for the first time in three years. “No question, we’re motivated for the upcoming season,” said Bloomfield. “We missed out on last year after winning conference championships in the past. So yes, we’re itching for a title right now.” Bloomfield, a 6-foot-3, 245 pounds senior, is the heart of the defensive line, a group that goes two-deep at each position. The D-trench crew typically sets the tenor for what transpires at the line of scrimmage. A year ago, WSSU ranked fourth nationally in scoring defense (13.4 points per game) and total defense (274.7 yards per game). “My role is to get all my guys in line so we can have the No. 1 defense in the CIAA,” said Bloomfield a senior Computer Science major from Jacksonville. “We believe that with our front line and linebackers, we can control the run as well as the pass. If that doesn’t happen, we’re not going to win anything.” Because of the Rams rotation on their defensive front, Bloomfield doesn’t log as much playing time as many of

Michael Bloomfield is key figure on a Rams defense that ranked fourth nationally in two statistical categories last season.

game at any moment. That explains, in part, why he’s considered a strong candidate for CIAA Defensive Player of the Year honors this fall. The Rams, 9-2 last season, suffered heavy losses on defense. Entering spring practice, there were questions. Was there enough returning talent on hand to fill the void created by departing senior linemen Conor O’Neal, Casey Davenport, Duvontae Covington and Alfy Hill? Will this be a rebuilding year for a young team that will most likely struggle? Bloomfield expects the Rams to pick up from where they left off a season ago. He liked what he witnessed during spring drills. “I came away with some pretty good impressions,” he said. “We had a low scoring spring game (20-16), which means that the defense, as a whole, did its job. I believe we’ll be even better with the freshmen and transfers that we have coming in.”

Blevins will hang it up after 25th Hang the Net Shootout BY TEVIN STINSON THE CHRONICLE

They say all good things must come to an end. On Thursday, July 23, the Hang the Net Celebrity Shootout will come to an official end. Over the years, a lot has changed in the Winston-Salem area, but one thing that has remained consistent is the annual event held at Hanes Hosiery Recreation Center. The 3-point shootout and dunk contest started in 1986 when Art Blevins read about a similar contest in Sports Illustrated. The object of the competition is to make shots from behind the threepoint arc and attempt to hang the net on the rim. To make the contest more interesting, Blevins had the idea to invite local celebrities and basketball stars to shoot in the contest. According to Blevins, the first shootout only had one local celebrity and about 100 people to attended. Over the years, the event has grown dramatically to include 12 or more local sponsors, media coverage from three television stations and two local radio stations. See Blevins on B2

The Winston-Salem Lady Warcats didn’t have one of their better showings this season. As members of the semi-pro Women’s Blue Chip Basketball League, this was the first time in their five-year team history that they finished a season below .500. In the final regular-season standings, the Lady Warcats were fifth in the Carolinas Division with a 3-5 record. Even so, there’s no reason to believe that Winston-Salem is going on a downward spiral. What wrecked this team’s chances of posting another winning record and a trip to the league playoffs was a disastrous four-game losing streak against the top-tier teams in its division. During that stretch, the Lady Warcats found themselves on the wrong end of one-sided losses to the eventual division champs (Charlotte Invasion) and the Carolina Lady Rush. In the other two setbacks, the average margin of defeat was four points to the Lady Vikings and Lady Stallions. “What I like best about this team is the camaraderie,” said Coach Chris Geter. “This group has a

strong sense of togetherness that we can build on. Since we had a lot of young players right out of college, it was a matter of how quickly they would mature as a unit. As they get in more practice time and game time playing with each other, it will only get better.” Vontisha Woods, who has been with the Lady Warcats for three seasons, led the team in scoring (14.7 points) and rebounds (5.4). Chevena Pickard averaged 14.1 points per game and proved herself as one of the league’s most lethal long-distance shooters (70.8 percent from 3-point range). Woods and Pickard got ample offensive support from Alisha Mosely and Cierra York, who both averaged 9.9 points per game. “We didn’t play up to our capability this year,” said Woods. “Sometimes we let our personal goals get in the way. There’s no doubt that the season should’ve turned out better than it did. So, for next season, that gives everybody a lot of motivation to turn it

up another level.” The blue chip league, now in its 10th season, provides an opportunity for former college players to continue playing after they’ve graduated. While the players do not get a paycheck for playing, they do play in a league that attracts interest from scouts representing the WNBA and a number of women’s pro leagues overseas. The WBCBL is widely viewed as the premier pro developmental league for women’s basketball. A year ago, the league had 22 players – including Catrina Green of the Lady Warcats – to sign contracts with pro teams overseas (Europe, Mexico, Australia L and the Middle East). Woods, who finished her college career at Winston-Salem State, is hoping to make a return trip overseas. She played in the women’s league in Malta (southern Europe) three years ago. “That’s one of the reasons why we play in this league,” she said. “It gives you that opportunity to play professionally if that’s what you want to do. I’m hoping to get another chance to play overseas.”

“We have really grown over the years,” Blevins said. “Last year, the event had over 600 people to attend. Considering this is the last one, I believe we will have over 600 this year.” The list of local celebrities and college basketball stars has grown as well with names such as Wake Forest University (WFU) and NBA star Josh Howard, former UNC Lady Tar Heel Camille Little and former WFU star C.J. Harris, who are all from Winston-Salem. Last season, Harris really showed his shooting ability, hanging the net multiple times in route to winning the col-

lege shootout. “It’s a great event to get kids out and have some fun,” Harris said. “This is all about the kids.” Blevins also uses the event to recognize area icons with a Living Legends Award. The award is given annually to those in the area who have made a major impact in the community. Past winners include the late Clarence “Bighouse” Gaines and the late Mary Garber. The best part of the event is that it’s free to public and Blevins makes sure that no child leaves the gym empty handed. “Our sponsors have been great over the years,” Blevins said. “I try to make sure every kid leaves the gym with something: a T-shirt, a poster or even a snack. We

make sure every child is taken care of.” Blevins said although this will be the last year for the Hang The Net event, he will continue to work in the community and support the youth. “It’s something I’ve been doing a long time. I started when I was 19. I know I’ll be lost next year,” laughed Blevins. “But it will give me time to focus on my basketball league, and I know I will do something else for the youth before I retire.” The Hang the Net Celebrity Shootout will begin at 2 p.m. at Hanes Hosiery Recreation Center, 501 Reynolds Blvd. For more information on the event, contact the center at 336-727-2428.

Chubb eager to help Wake Forest end its bowl-game drought

Chubb

“It all comes down to finishing the fourth quarter,” he said. “Last year, we had some big games [Louisville and Clemson] where we played very well on defense, but still fell short. For three quarters, we were winning. But then we’d give up big plays in the fourth quarter, and that’s what led to our downfall.” Chubb, a pre-season All-ACC pick, recorded 109 tackles and 3½ sacks a year ago. In the regular-season finale against Duke, he finished with a career-high 19 tackles and was named all-conference honorable mention. Wake Forest went through a defensive make-over last season, switching from the 3-4 set to a 4-3. Now that the year of transition has been completed under the new system, Chubb has no doubts that the defense has the right ingredients to emerge as one of the better stop units in the ACC. “We took some big steps with the new system that we put in last year,” he said. “Now that we’ve gone through a season, spring practice and another off-season, everybody has a better feel for what their roles are. With the defen-

Linebacker Brandon Chubb (48) is the acknowledged ringleader of the Deacons’ defense.

BY CRAIG T. GREENLEE FOR THE CHRONICLE

When Brandon Chubb talks about Wake Forest’s upcoming football season, he’s adamant about one thing: He’s grown weary of seeing the Deacons’ season end in November. It’s been that way since 2012. “I haven’t played a game in the month of December since I was in high school,” said Chubb. “I’m so tired of watching teams in bowl games that we played during the regular season and should’ve beaten. We’re looking to change all that. We want this season to be our time to go to a bowl.” Whether or not Wake Forest (3-9 a year ago) can double its win total and qualify for a bowl game this season remains to be seen. To do so, the defense, keyed by an exceptional corps of linebackers, must play at the highest possible level. Chubb, a 6-foot-1, 245-pound senior linebacker, is up for the task.

sive assignments we have in the 4-3, it gives everybody a chance to be a playmaker.” When you take a look at Chubb’s family tree, it’s no surprise that football is the centerpiece. The roots run deep. The father, Aaron Chubb, was a defensive end at the University of Georgia in the 1980s. Younger brother Bradley is a sophomore defensive end at N.C. State. There are also two cousins in the mix. Nick Chubb of Georgia was All-SEC at running back last year and he’s a pre-season All-America for 2015. Zach Chubb played in the secondary at the Air Force Academy last season. “It’s a great experience for all of us to be able to share our stories with each other,” said Brandon Chubb. “We’re always chatting with one another. Not only is it a great resource to have, but it’s such a blessing. What I enjoyed so much was coming back home while Bradley was still in high school and telling him all about what he could expect as a college football player.”

However, to work with congregations and clergy in my hometown to train world-class leaders is a dream fulfilled.” The Conference promotes both senders and goers through interdenominational cooperation in addressing common values. For more than seven years, Bishop Fulton has led Mt. Moriah, where he is pastor, in medical missions’ trips in St. Kitts. The collaboration is a “natural.” The interaction increases local awareness of local and international challenges. According to Bishop Fulton, “This important Kingdom work helps to undergird our brothers and sisters from abroad. We are bringing the Kingdom of heaven to earth internationally. Dr. Bailey and her staff are doing a wonderful job in teaching the world what a broad-base partnership looks like. We are honored, as the Ministers’ Conference, to be a part of this collaboration and partnership.” Under a covenant agreement, collaboration partners leverage resources to meet

wonders will be seen like in the days when they were led out of Egypt. When the surrounding nations see the power of God, they will be dumbfounded. The prophet declares that those people will “lick dust like snakes” in defeat. Micah concludes with the question, “Who is a God like you”? This God forgives sin and restores a remnant of His people after judgment. He doesn’t remain angry with His people forever. He delights in showing mercy. Life’s Application: In last week’s lesson, we came face to face with God’s requirements. In today’s lesson and in many others Scriptures, we see God modeling what He wants from His creation. Sin is real and we all are

guilty from time to time. When our sins are compounded and we exploit those on the outskirts of society, God warns us to repent and come back to Him. We ignore the warnings and He sends judgment. This is His last resort because He really wants to bless and restore His creation. God wants us to be just in all that we do and to show mercy as a sign of His compassion. Like Micah, we need to have hope in God, not the wealth and power of this world. God’s mercy is our greatest gift in Christ Jesus. He demonstrated His mercy over and over again. Who wouldn’t serve a God like that? He was, is and continues to be faithful to a rebellious people!
