NAACP responds to allegations of fraud regarding Tonya McDaniel’s handling of grant funds SUBMITTED ARTICLE

The NAACP issued the following statement regarding the allegation of misappropriation of funds by the organization’s vice president, Tonya McDaniel: The Executive Committee of the Branch has met with our officers and Tonya McDaniel. We have also conferred with Blueprint to examine the intent of the Grant, and whether its purposes were fulfilled and performed as intended. We have also examined the payments and verified that they matched the intent of the Grant. We are convinced that the purpose of the Grant was delivered as intended and therefore limits our discussion to those facts.

Ahead of Father’s Day weekend, the Women’s Gun Violence Prevention Team is hosting a dinner on Friday evening designed to celebrate men in the community and invite them to join the fight against senseless gun violence.

As of June 15, there have been 19 homicides in Winston-Salem compared to only nine this time last year, and more than 100 reported shootings. In response to the rise in homicides, shootings, and other violent crimes, the Women’s Gun Violence Prevention Team, a coSubmitted photo alition of local women Ahead of Father’s Day, the Women’s Gun Violence Prevention Team is hosting a dinner to combat the rise in senseless gun violence. geared toward bringing an violence and prevent the ple on the ground in the pened on Devonshire and driven because we connect man,” Ingram continued. end to senseless violence, senseless loss of life. community, so we’re go- Burgundy Streets.

Shooting at park terrifies children, adults A relaxing day at the park was interrupted by gunfire earlier this week when William Coleman Scott, 26, endangered the lives of dozens of innocent people when he opened fire on police officers in Hanes Park, a mere hours after it is believed he killed his mother and grandmother.

Here’s what we know: Around 3:34 p.m. on Monday, June 15, more than a dozen shots from a high powered semi-automatic rifle were fired into the District 1 Police Station on North Point Boulevard. After his vehicle was identified, Scott led officers with the WinstonSalem Police Department (WSPD) on a four and a half mile chase that ended in front of Reynold’s High School gymnasium on Northwest Boulevard.

At that point, Scott got out of his vehicle and fired several more shots at of-

traveled to a home located in the 1700 block of Curraghmore Road in Clemmons, where they found the body of Scott’s mother, Kimberly Scott. Law enforcement also traveled to a residence at 224 Tabor View Lane in Winston-Salem, where they found the body of Scott’s 84-yearold grandmother, Glenda Snow Corriher.

The investigation into Corriher’s death is being handled by the WSPD and the investigation into Kimberly Scott’s death is being handled by the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office (FCSO). Both deaths are being handled as homicides.

When discussing the case briefly during the press conference, Sheriff Kimbrough did mention that the victim at the home in Clemmons did die from a gunshot wound.

“I’ve given you what

Park endangered the lives of dozens, and maybe even hundreds, of innocent lives, including dozens of children.

In addition to the park traffic you would normally expect on a 90-degree day, there were children in the park enrolled in the summer camp hosted by the YMCA, and Reynolds High School was having summer football workouts. Wiley Middle School

and Brunson Elementary School are also in the vicinity of where shots were fired.

When they realized the danger they were in, camp counselors, coaches, and other adults jumped into action to make sure the children were safe, rushing them off to find shelter wherever they could. Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools (WS/FCS) recommended an immediate

lockdown at Reynolds, Wiley, Brunson and other schools in the area Following the shooting, there were still a number of officers near and around the park hours later. On the day after the shots rang out in the park, several people who had children in the park said they were still trying to recover. Nakida McDaniel, whose son was practicing with the football team and

had other family members who had just left the park, said she had to call out of work because she was still recovering.

“He’s safe and everything, but I’m still recovering. It really is amazing that nobody else was hurt.

I had to call out today because I’m still recovering,” McDaniel said.

William Scott ficers before dropping the semi-automatic rifle and running toward Hanes Park. While being chased by officers in the park, Scott fired several shots at officers from a handgun.

After a brief stand-off and exchange of gunfire, Scott was shot and taken into custody.

“The suspect was transported to the local hospital, where he is in stable condition,” said Chief Catrina Thompson during a press conference held at the Public Safety Center on Monday night. Thompson said for his actions at the police station and at the park, Scott has been charged with attempted murder.

“Mr. Scott is in police custody for attempted murder of a law enforcement officer. Because of the brazen attack on the police sub-station, officers began the process of identifying places of residence so that evidence of the crime could be sought,” Thompson said.

Further investigation into Scott and his known places of residence unveiled two horrific scenes.

we know and there is an active investigation being conducted … that’s all we have at this time,” Kimbrough said.

Captain Steven Tolley with the WSPD’s Criminal Investigations Division, said law enforcement has had contact with William Scott in the past, but there was no information to indicate that he would carry out something like this.

“There was no information to indicate that today’s events were going to occur,” Tolley said. “He was not under investigation for this type of crime to potentially occur, so it was a surprise to law enforcement.”

But Scott’s past does show a history of violence. Records show in December 2016, just three years after he graduated from West Forsyth High School, Scott was convicted of misdemeanor assault inflicting serious injury when he gave a woman a concussion. He received probation. Scott has also been charged with armed robbery, attempted armed robbery, and resisting a public officer, more than once.

Pulitzer Board issues special citation to Darnella Frazier, the teen who recorded George Floyd’s murder

BY STACY M. BROWN

Add Pulitzer Prize to the list of awards and recognition bestowed upon Darnella Frazier, the teen who bravely videotaped the murder of George Floyd in 2020.

The Pulitzer Prize board issued a special citation to Darnella, who is now 18.

“For courageously recording the murder of George Floyd, a video that spurred protests against police brutality around the world, highlighting the crucial role of citizens in journalists’ quest for truth and justice,” the Pulitzer Board wrote.

For her efforts, Darnella is also receiving the National Newspaper Publishers Association’s (NNPA) highest journalism award and a monetary scholarship at the NNPA’s annual convention, which begins on Wednesday, June 23.

NNPA is the trade association of the hundreds of African American-owned newspapers and media companies that comprise the Black Press of America.

NNPA President and CEO Dr. Benjamin F. Chavis, Jr., applauded Darnella and called her a “freedom fighter” who ensured justice was finally done in the case of a police officer killing an unarmed African American.

“We salute this brave young woman, who had the courage to keep on filming even as the officers tried to intimidate her,” Dr. Chavis stated.

Floyd family attorney Benjamin Crump told the Black Press that there would be no civil settlement or a trial and conviction of former officer Derek Chauvin had it not been for Darnella’s actions.

“It was Darnella Frazier who stepped up,” Crump asserted.

Officials in Minneapolis reached a record $27 million civil settlement with Floyd’s family, and Chauvin faces as much as 40 years in prison when he’s sentenced on June 25.

“We wouldn’t have any of that without Darnella Frazier taking that video,” Crump reiterated.

The video was the most damning piece of evidence during Chauvin’s trial, and Darnella took the witness stand and offered powerful testimony to back up the recording.

“Even though this was a traumatic life-changing experience for me, I’m proud of myself,” Frazier wrote in an Instagram post on the one year anniversary of Floyd’s murder. “If it weren’t for my video, the world wouldn’t have known the truth.

“My video didn’t save George Floyd,” she added, “but it put his murderer away and off the streets.”

Pandemic graduates deserve an extra round of applause Dr. James B. Ewers Jr.

Graduations are special occasions. They are full of great pomp and circumstance. In fact, they are unforgettable.

They have a life of their own and will live on forever.

Although many years ago, I can still remember each of my exercises. They were filled with relief and exhilaration.

My journey through the educational maze was complete. That was the relief. The joy and happiness associated with reaching my goal felt wonderful.

That was the exhilaration.

As I reflect on my graduation experiences, they were attended by my family and friends. Having them at these grand moments in my life was important.

I had never given any thought to people not attending graduation programs as I am an old school guy.

Like you, COVID-19

Now they have reached the pinnacle and their hard work paid off. The assignments, technical difficulties and frustrations are now behind them.

They are now graduates of the class of 2021.

Traditional graduations gave way to zoom graduations. Graduation parties gave in to drive up shout outs.

Blocks and streets had signs up congratulating students who had achieved their goals. Yet the quest for better continues.

Going to college for many students of color in some areas continues to be problematic.

Audrey Dow, senior vice president at Campaign for College Opportunity, said, “The most vulnerable students who have the most to gain from a college education are bearing the brunt of the pandemic effects. If the federal government, states, colleges and universities do not step up in intentional ways to support low-income students of color to enroll and stay in college, we will see

these disparities in college enrollment persist.”

Her comments were made based upon a National Student Clearinghouse Research Center analysis and participating colleges.

Education must be a focus for people of color.

Further training will provide us with a better and brighter future. All statistics show that education matters and makes a difference.

Congratulations to graduates as they took another step forward on their road to success. They are believing it and now they are achieving it. Make education a part of your family’s legacy.

Remember this about an education: Once you attain it, it cannot be taken away. It is yours forever.

Always keep a goal in front of you. Stay thirsty for acquiring new skills and competencies. You have only just begun!

took me by surprise. The surprise was how much it affected our daily lives.

Children and schools go together. However, the coronavirus put a sudden stop to traditional learning.

Students were at home and so were teachers. Virtual learning was a new term on the educational landscape.

It meant being in front of a computer screen for both students and teachers.

Over the years, teachers have received undue and unjust criticism. Being a teacher is not an easy job to have. During my professional life I was proud to have been a teacher. Preparing lessons, meeting with parents, engaging different learning styles, are just some of what teachers do each day.

If you are successful at anything, you can probably point to a teacher who motivated you along the way.

Parents have become the strongest supporters of teachers. This was especially true during the pandemic. They saw a small sample size of what teachers do each day when their child leaves home.

Teachers have always been beacons of hope and inspiration. They challenge us and they love us too.

Columnist Migraine is a neurological disease that affects 60 million Americans and is the second leading cause of disability worldwide. It is an underestimated, underdiagnosed, and undertreated disease despite its heavy burden. However, communities of color, which have been historically, socially, and economically disenfranchised from research studies and treatment, are bearing the brunt of this burden. The American healthcare system is riddled with flaws, and headache medicine is no different.

The racial inequities in headache diagnosis and patient care have been brought to light by the recent increased focus on systematic racism that impacts health equity.

Numerous studies have shown that the rates of migraine diagnosis and treatment vary significantly between Blacks, Hispanics, and whites. Although prevalence of migraine is similar (14.5%, 14.5%, and 15.5% respectively), Blacks and Hispanics utilize healthcare at a disproportionate rate compared to whites.

When seeking treatment, Hispanics had a lower total number of visits that result in a migraine diagnosis. Blacks with severe headaches are more likely to get a diagnosis of probable migraine, while whites get a more definitive diagnosis. Because of disparities in the U.S. healthcare system, migraine is more severe and more likely to become chronic among Blacks and African Americans. This chronification is unfortunately linked with increased depression and disability, and a lower quality of life.

Black, indigenous, people of color (BIPOC) experience stress and adverse health outcomes due

to the exposure to racism and racial trauma. A theory, known as race-based traumatic stress, indicates that some individuals experience racial prejudice as psychological trauma.

This PTSD-like reaction leads to increased severe headaches and migraine attacks. Research confirms all of these inequities – but an ongoing lack of quality research on BIPOC with migraine means there is still much that is unknown or poorly understood.

The Coalition for Headache and Migraine Patients (CHAMP) and its partners realized that meaningful change was required. They created the Disparities in Headache Advisory Council that has held numerous training sessions and provided seed-funding for new initiatives that promote diversity and equality in headache medicine.

HAMP is one of many patient advocacy organizations participating in National Migraine and Headache Awareness Month.

Every June, we spend the

month raising awareness and educating the public via a variety of programs and projects held around the country. The theme for this year is “A New Era of Care,” which reflects the surge of innovation in headache and migraine treatments that are dramatically improving lives.

June 16 is our first Advocacy Day of Action, supporting a U.S. House Resolution designating June as Migraine and Headache Awareness Month, led

by Representative Madeleine Dean (D-PA-4th).

This resolution addresses the inequities that BIPOC communities face in health access and quality of care.

You can show your support by contacting your representative in Congress and asking them to cosign the resolution. Take action by visiting: headachemigraine.org/policypartners/.

Your shot at a million: Gov. Cooper announces $4 Million Summer Cash and College Tuition drawings to encourage COVID-19 vaccinations RALEIGH, N.C. As part of North Carolina’s effort to encourage more North Carolinians to receive COVID-19 vaccines, Governor Roy Cooper announced $4 Million Summer Cash and College Tuition drawings to motivate those who have not yet been vaccinated — and thank those who have. Four vaccinated North Carolinians 18 and older will win $1 million each and four North Carolinians ages 12 to 17 will win tuition for post-secondary education. Executive Order 219, which has concurrence from the North Carolina Council of State, authorizes the drawings.

North Carolinians 18 and over who have received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine will be automatically entered into four drawings for a chance to win a $1 million cash prize. Youth between the ages of 12 and 17 who have received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine will be automatically entered into four drawings to win $125,000 towards post-secondary education. The $125,000 can be used at any post-secondary institution and is awarded in the form of a NC 529 account.

“This is your shot at a million. Regardless of who wins, there’s no way to lose,” said Governor Cooper. “A chance at a million dollars is pretty good motivation. But even if your name isn’t drawn, the worst you’ll do is get strong protection from a deadly virus.”

The $4 Million Summer Cash and Summer Cash 4 College drawings will run from June 23 through Aug. 4. All North Carolina residents 12 and older who have been vaccinated with at least one dose are eligible; some restrictions may apply. Those vaccinated on or after the June 10 announcement will be entered twice for each drawing increasing the chance of winning for the newly vaccinated. Drawings will take place every other week on Wednesdays with the first

drawing on June 23. New entries will close at midnight on the Sunday prior to the Wednesday drawing. Winners will be verified and then announced.

“Everyone who gets a COVID-19 vaccination is a winner,” said Dr. Mandy K. Cohen, Secretary of the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services. “They protect themselves, their loved ones and others from severe illness, hospitalization and death. Millions of people have already taken the vaccines.

These summer cash drawings add another reward to the many that come with getting a COVID-19 vaccination.”

The drawings are part of the state’s Bringing Summer Back get-out-the-vaccine campaign to increase awareness of the availability and safety of COVID-19 vaccines and encourage North Carolinians to get a COVID-19 vaccination as soon as they can. The vaccines have been thoroughly tested and found to be safe and effective for anyone 12 and older.

North Carolina joins other states that announced million-dollar drawings to promote vaccinations. Ohio, the first state to launch such a program, reported a 28% increase in vaccinations among those 16 and older in the first two weeks following the announcement.

The $4 Million Summer Cash and Summer Cash 4 College drawings will use federal Coronavirus Relief Funds to fund the program. The drawings will be supported by the North Carolina State Lottery director. The scholarship funds will be managed by the North Carolina State Education Assistance Authority.

FCSO spearheads GED-program with FTCC for Piedmont Park residents

BY TEVIN STINSON THE CHRONICLE

Forsyth Technical Community College (FTCC) is partnering with the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office (FSCO) to launch a new initiative that will give mothers living in Piedmont Park Apartments, the opportunity to receive their high school diploma and enroll in FTCC free of charge.

Since taking office in 2018, Sheriff Kimbrough has made it his mission to use his position as sheriff to build partnerships with other entities to help bring resources to communities in need. Kimbrough, who is a native of Winston-Salem, said the idea to launch the program in Piedmont Park, an income-based-housing development owned and operated by the Housing Authority of Winston-Salem (HAWS), was brought to him by former Forsyth County Clerk of Court Susan Frye, who now works in the sheriff’s office part-time.

“Mrs. Susan Frye, who is the brainchild behind a lot of the programs that we do in the community … thought it was robbery not to engage persons in our community who are living in what I would call ‘less than circumstances,’” Kimbrough continued. “The way to free people, to emancipate people, is education … we look at this as what I would call education-on-wheels … we’re going to take the educational process to the areas that it’s needed.”

Kimbrough said his objective as sheriff of Forsyth County is to bring people together and bridge the gap.

“My role is to build partnerships,” Kimbrough said. “My objective is to not only be a law enforcement official, but also be an ambassador to bring the north, the south, the east, the west, together to bridge that gap.’

According to Janet Spriggs, president of FTCC, the courses in Piedmont Park are scheduled to begin July 6 and 20 mothers have already enrolled. The 12week course will be held in a common area in Piedmont Park to accommodate those who may not have transportation

to the FTCC campus. Participants in the program will also receive free childcare, healthcare, tutoring, and ride to the testing site at the end of the course.

After completing the program, participants will also be able to enroll in any program at FTCC free of charge.

“We know that education is critical for economic and social mobility; however, we all know that children born into poverty in this country are born into an uneven playing field,” Spriggs said. “Education is our weapon for combating poverty, for removing barriers to social and economical advancement, for empowering people to change their futures and for them to transform their communities.”

In addition to the partnership with FTCC, the sheriff’s office has also forged an alliance with Carolina University (formally Piedmont International University) that will provide 50% scholarships to any high school student who attends a Title 1 school, schools where children from lowincome families make up at least 40% of enrollment.

When discussing the partnership and the opportunities residents will have to continue their education, Kevin Cheshire, executive director of HAWS, said, “Historically, what we’ve done is build infrastructure as an organization. We’ve built bricks, we’ve built mortar, but what we’re doing now is building infrastructure in the people who live in that brick and mortar.”

THE CHRONICLE’S BUSINESS OF THE MONTH

Elite Healthcare Group specializes in helping autistic children and their families

BY BUSTA BROWN FOR THE CHRONICLE

Every time I’ve gone to the mall, I’ve seen parents having a hard time with their children. And more times than not, the parent wasn’t able to calm the child. I’ve been one of those parents many times, so I know how frustrating and even embarrassing it is.

Andrew A. Dinkins was on vacation and during a trip to a mall, he witnessed a couple having an extremely hard time with their child. Andrew immediately did something most of us would not do. What he did would change his life forever.

“When I saw this child crying and crying, and the two parents didn’t know what to do, I walked up to the family and asked if I could assist them and they said yes. The child had autism, but I was able to calm him down. The family thanked me as they cried and cried, and then we talked for about an hour. I didn’t think to mention that I owned a company that can help their child, because it wasn’t about the money or trying to recruit a new client. For me, it’s about empowering and helping families. At that moment, I knew that was my passion and purpose.

I wanted to help children, families. I want to be a part of what changes our families down the road,” he shared.

Andrew A. Dinkins is the CEO and owner of Elite Healthcare Group,

Inc. in Winston-Salem.

The privately owned company launched in 2016.

They use a collaborative approach to provide professional data-driven and evidence-based services to individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) to help each client reach their highest ability of independence. By providing individualized programming and focusing on each client’s deficits, they work together to develop skill acquisition including communication, social, play, and self-help skills.

They also provide behavior reduction programming to focus on reducing maladaptive behaviors and building socially significant behaviors. “If you don’t recognize the symptoms of autism, you might push the behaviors under the rug and think the child is just acting up.

also provides diagnostic evaluation, behavioral and skills assessment.

Andrew said children with autism are very loving individuals. “When I’m having a bad day, I look forward to seeing my clients, because they help me feel better. They’re masterminds and extremely brilliant children. I love what God has blessed me to do,” he said.

Andrew credits his wife and children for his success. “Without their support, understanding and patience, I couldn’t have done any of this. I want to thank the community and other local businesses, because they have been extremely supportive as well. Getting to this point didn’t come without struggles and sacrifice. There were plenty of times I had to put myself last and the business first, which caused me to lose some friends. But now I’m able to relax and the business takes care of itself,” he said.

I asked what his favorite scripture or quote is.

“You don’t have to position yourself in front of people to be used by God, but posture yourself, so that you’re ready.”

Local nonprofit ‘turns the tables’ on Hope du Jour restaurants

BY JUDIE HOLCOMB-PACK THE CHRONICLE

For 30 years Hope du Jour has been a muchanticipated community event, bringing together restaurants and diners on the first Tuesday in May to support the work of Crisis Control Ministry. This year would have been the 31st year.

But all that changed when Crisis Control decided to turn the tables on their Hope du Jour restaurants.

Instead of asking the community to eat out at participating restaurants for one day with 10% of their sales going to Crisis Control, they decided that after 30 years, it was time to support Forsyth County restaurants that have been struggling to survive during the pandemic.

Abby McCall, director of community and volunteer relations, said that staff started discussing plans for the 2021 event in January. They contacted restaurant owners and managers for their feedback and were told that they were still holding on, trying to wait out the pandemic. After a discussion of the realistic expectation that restaurant dining may not return in full swing for many months, it was obvious a new strategy was needed.

The decision was made to do something to help their Hope du Jour restaurants that have been so supportive of Crisis Control over the years. Through Zoom calls with restaurant owners and staff that provided insight as to their current

The campaign would run for the month of June, but instead of asking people to dine out to support Crisis Control, they would be encouraged to dine out to support local restaurants.

Neither patrons nor restaurants would be asked for donations.

Hope du Jour has been a big part of the annual income budget for Crisis Control. McCall said that they have received solid financial support from the community during the pandemic and felt they could manage without the income from the event for this year. Hope du Jour sponsors eagerly got on board and continued their financial support to underwrite the cost of marketing Hungry for Hope and printing posters and other materials. Instead of table tents, brochures were cre-

ated for restaurants to have available for customers to learn more about Crisis Control and the services they provide to the community.

So far, it’s been a winwin for everyone, with many positive comments from both restaurants and Crisis Control supporters.

Claire Calvin, owner of The Porch and Alma Mexicana, has been a Hope du Jour restaurant for several years. Calvin remarked, “Obviously it’s been hard for restaurants, but we know it’s been hard for a lot of other folks as well. We really appreciate the thoughtfulness of Crisis Control to support restaurants in this way.”

12-team college football playoff is on its way The powers that be in college football have finally figured out a way to expand the college football playoff (CFP) system.

This is something fans and many teams have been begging for over the last few years.

The current four-team system seems to have run its course. It was better than the horrible BCS (Bowl Championship Series) that preceded it and that was enough to silence the critics for a short time.

Due to the predictable participants of the four-team system, some changes needed to be made to shake things up.

For the last few years, it seemed like a solid bet that Alabama, Clemson and Ohio State would be three of the teams that made it to the playoff, which kind of made things rather predictable and somewhat boring. Since the inception of the CFP, only four teams have won the championship: Alabama (2015,2017,2020), Clemson (2016, 2018), Ohio State (2014) and LSU (2019).

Opening up the field to 12 teams would breathe life into the playoff system, along with giving several other teams, outside of the Power 5 conferences, an opportunity to show what they are made of against the best college football has to offer.

In the new proposed 12-team format, the bracket would include the six highest ranked conference champions and the next six highest-ranked teams as determined by the CFP selection committee.

The proposal has already caught on with many of the coaches around the country. Kirby Smart, University of Georgia head football coach, said, “Most changes have been relatively small.”

He told ESPN’s Marty & McGee this past Saturday, “With the potential of what’s been proposed … [it’s] probably the greatest change there has been in terms of major college football.”

LSU head coach, Ed Orgeron, added, “I think it’s coming. Here’s what I’ve learned. As the older you get, you have to adapt.

This game is changing, recruiting is changing, things are changing fast.

We just have to adapt.

Hey, if they expand, then good. It gives us a chance See Football on B2

Not just your average podcast

BY TIMOTHY RAMSEY THE CHRONICLE

Starting a podcast is the new wave. Nowadays you can find a podcast that covers just about any topic known to man. Fortunately for local listeners, three African American young men have started the “Pick a Side” (PAS) podcast that covers a multitude of topics like sports, education, politics and more that affect the Black community.

James “Stack City” Stackhouse and first cousins, Preston “Barbershop P” Wingate and Lerone “LG” Gore, came up with the idea for the podcast last year during the pandemic.

They would routinely have conversations on the phone about various topics and felt they should bring that to the public.

“It got started because like most friend groups, we get on the phone and we talk and we argue about sports all the time,” said Stackhouse. “During the pandemic, when everything was shut down, we had a lot of free time on our hands, so we came up with the idea to take what we do off camera, on camera, and start a debate podcast centered around sports.”

The three friends started putting things together in April of 2020.

They did not want to rush

Along the way the show transformed from only sports to include other topics as well. They released their first official episode on April 20 of this year and they will debut a new episode every Tuesday and Thursday of each week.

“It was just like a year of trying to figure out what we wanted to do and how we wanted to do it,” Stackhouse continued. “To be honest, it started out

as strictly a sports debate show, but then through life circumstances and things that were going on in the world, we started talking about other issues as well.”

The guys did not want to sound or look like the typical debate show that you see on ESPN or FS1.

They don’t have the typical moderator and commentator roles on PAS. The three men rotate between each role depending on the topic being discussed.

“We all wanted to have our equal share and equal

part, and no one wanted to stand out more than the other,” said Wingate.

The pilot episode for the podcast was 40 minutes long; however, the guys felt that the 10- to 20-minute range would be better for the future shows.

The response they have received has been very positive to date and they have even connected with other start-up companies like Hoodlamb Apparel, who is one of their sponsors.

“Another thing we wanted to do was to have

our platform be a platform for other people,” Stackhouse said about the podcast. “We have connected with a photographer and video editor so far.

“We have had a lot of positive feedback and through the friends we know would tell us the truth, we have had a lot of constructive criticism as well, and we have tried to apply that to the show and get better.”

Wingate says he enjoys being a part of the show because it is doing something positive for the community by portraying Black men in a positive light. He is the more “radical” personality out of the trio and enjoys discussing political matters and issues in Black America.

“I think it’s important for young Black men to see guys like us who are still relatively young, in the culture and not out here doing the wrong things, like hustling and other stuff,” Wingate said.

“We are trying to be positive and show there are other ways of making it out there.

“There is a lot of work to be done and I feel like we can be a catalyst to definitely push that agenda.

Nobody is controlling us, so nobody can tell us what See Podcast on B2

to get in.”

In order to get the proposal passed, the CFP management committee would have to first agree to the 12-team system in their meetings in Chicago. Following that, it would then have to be approved by the 11 presidents and chancellors who make up the CFP’s board of managers, during their June 22 meeting in Dallas. Even if approved, no changes would be made to the current system in 2021 or 2022.

Many people argue that the regular season in college football is in fact a season-long playoff, making it the most important regular season in all of college sports. To me, that was dumb logic, due to the fact that teams evolve throughout the season. A team that starts the season in September can be totally different in November.

That small room for error has caused many teams to shy away from playing tough out-of-conference opponents and schedule cupcakes instead. I think the new playoff system would allow teams to schedule tougher out-ofconference opponents and still have a chance to play for a title with a couple of losses on their record. Smart also, though it would benefit teams that play a tough schedule.

“I think a lot of this is going to boil down to strength of schedule,” Smart said. “For a long time now, we have been trying to build up our fu-

to do and nobody can tell us what content we can or can’t drop. That is another thing that Pick a Side is about; we are our own thing, our own entity, and at the end of the day, we have to make sure we are putting the right message out there.”

The group also wanted to differ from other shows by approaching sports in a different way. Instead of using analytics or stats,

ture strength of schedule, because it’s not the losses that are going to kill you; it’s not playing the best teams. We’ve tried to go out and schedule major Power 5s across our scheduling system all the way out with the hopes that this would give us the opportunity to go play some really good teams. And losses won’t kill you when you start talking about Top 12.

You’ve got to have a powerful schedule and go play good teams.”

One of the advantages college basketball has over college football is the matchups of out-ofconference opponents. As fans, we routinely have the opportunity to see the top teams play one another early on in the season in various tournaments or conference against conference matchups. This new system would allow us fans to enjoy multiple early season top 25 matchups in college football.

Another benefit of the proposed system is the inclusion of top tier nonpower five conference schools. There have been several undefeated nonpower five conference schools in college football over the last 20 years, but none of them had the chance to compete for a national championship.

Teams like Boise State, Utah, Coastal Carolina, and Central Florida that are outside of the Power 5 conferences, have had undefeated seasons in the last 20 years. It would have been pretty interesting to see how those teams would have fared in a 12-

team playoff. I don’t think any of them would have won it all, but that’s the beauty of sports; you never know what can happen on any given day.

Coastal Carolina coach, Jamey Chadwell, said the new playoff would be a game changer for smaller schools around the country.

“You’ve got an invitation to the dance now,” he told Marty & McGee. “You actually have an opportunity. I think that’s what everybody’s talking about, is no matter what type of season you had, it was very slim that you ever had an opportunity. Slim to none and slim usually left the building. For now, you can see a pathway.

“We’ve got official visits going on this weekend and I can look them in the face and say if we can handle business, we have an opportunity to play for a national championship.

You’ve never had that opportunity to say that before, and you can do that now. And so that gives you hope, and as Andy Dufresne says in Shawshank Redemption, ‘Hope is maybe the best of things.’”

This could also even the playing field somewhat when it comes to recruiting, because now players know they don’t have to go to Clemson, Alabama or Ohio State to make it to the playoffs. Overall, I see this move as a very positive one for college football.

It will bring some muchneeded intrigue back into the college football season.

they have chosen to look at it from a fan’s point of view to make it more relatable.

“We used to always say with sports we would come from a fan’s perspective, so that was our whole thing with sports,” said Gore. “We’re not sports analysts or former professional athletes, we are just like regular fans debating.”

The trio says their show has a foundation that was built on five pillars: teaching, serving, learn-

ing, growing and entertaining. They feel if they accomplish these pillars, they have done their job, because their goal is not to get rich.

They guys feel they all have a different perspective and personality that they each bring to the show.

life. Our job as high school coaches is to try and give the kids a better chance at life. Now, with all that said, at what point do you say I tried and move on? I don’t know. I’m all about the kids and trying to help them as much as I can, sometimes to a fault.”

Anonymous coach: “Bench them or give the ultimatum of leaving the team. Even if that means a losing season, especially with kids. That lesson teaches him and the other kids about being coachable and also allows the other coachable kids to have your undivided attention. Better to learn the hard lessons early on, because life isn’t going to sugarcoat it.”

Shawn Hollins, local basketball coach: “Pull him and try to make him understand and if that doesn’t work, sit him every time he’s being greedy or just put him with a group that’s not as talented where he can do everything without the others being mad.”

PORTRAIT BY LAUREN BULBIN

I recently asked area coaches to offer their opinion on a subject in a new feature, “In Their Own Words.” The issue to address this week is poor work ethic. One of the most cliched sports movie plots is the star athlete that has poor work ethic or does whatever he pleases, regardless of what the coach says. That also plays out all too often in the real world as well. I was curious to find out what happens when a coach runs across a player like that.

I assume that most coaches have had to deal with a player like this to some varying degree. I know what I would do as a coach if I ran into a player with this type of personality; however, I admit that my no-nonsense way of looking at things is not always the best approach.

Here are the responses from some area coaches as to how they would handle a player like that. It was interesting to see the different points of view from the coaches that may help you to understand why some players connect more with

different coaches. As in previous columns, coaches could choose to use their name or respond anonymously.

Adrian Butler, youth coach: “I think a coach would have to really know that player off the field/court.

There is probably reasoning why he/she is so damn hard-headed. A coach should be more than just a director.”

Ashley Stovall, area football coach: “It’s all about the relationship you build. You have to remind them that it is not about you, but about the team.”

Brandon Wiggins, local football coach: “Let the field, track or court coach him. It’ll come full circle.”

Antonio Kirkpatrick, football coach: “That’s a tough one.

For someone who has been in that position a few times, it’s definitely about understanding the kid’s home situation and trying to build a relationship that’s bigger than whatever sport you are coaching. In high school coaching, it’s about teaching, not only on the court or field, but about

Elder Richard Wayne Wood Sunday School Lesson

Healed by Faith Scriptures: Matthew 9:18-26 By the end of this lesson, we will: *Examine the nature of faith involved in the healings of the woman and the girl in this passage; *Sense the power of God to bring life and healing to our loved ones; *Rejoice in the healing power of God as manifested in our own lives.

Background: Matthew’s ninth chapter has a theme of faith – though not labeled as such, all the acts of healing fit perfectly with Hebrews 11:1 description of faith, but they are diverse in expression. The paralytic is healed because of the faith of “his friends” and the power to forgive sin is illuminated here. The daughter of Jairus is healed by the laying on of hands, but the faith came from the “father.” The issue of blood is healed by touching Jesus’ person - the fringe of His garment - fueled by the faith of the woman, “her faith.” The blind are healed after responding positively when asked if they believed “unseen faith” and the mute are healed – demons cast out “unmatched faith.” The Oxford Bible Commentary sums it up as “faith in Jesus is the embodiment and channel of God’s power and grace.”

Lesson: In the lesson a girl is restored to life and a woman is healed. “ … a ruler came and worshipped Him.” The ruler was a synagogue director who by indication of “worshipped,” suggests that He recognized Jesus’s duty and authority – a must for faith to work. His faith was grounded in the belief that the “hand of God” can heal and restore to life his daughter. This same account in Luke has the daughter sick, but not yet dead. In either case, the faith in Jesus to heal or bring back life was present in the father. “My daughter has just died; but come and lay Your hands on her, and she will live.” (verse 18). Jesus’s response is to go as requested and answer the father’s faith with the laying on of hands. And of course, there is the ever-present audience (verse 19).

In the crowd of followers is another expression of faith that is also a matter of touch. The infamous woman with the issue of blood - her opportunity for cleansing and acceptance back into society is passing by. The woman had been deemed permanently unclean for ceremonial participation at both the synagogue and the temple. She was shunned by society and even her own family. Her suffering had lasted for 12 years and in effect exhausted all efforts to get healing and consumed all her money, so this is a last-ditch effort for her.

(Note: the fringe on Jesus’ garment or cloak refers to tassels sewn to the corners of the garment to remind the wearer to obey God’s commandments, (Numbers 15:3839). “If I only touch His garment, I will get well.” Extreme circumstances bring extreme faith. Through her faith, with her touch, she triggered Jesus’s ability to read her thoughts and to address her act of faith. “Daughter, take courage; your faith has made you well.” Her faith caused immediate action on a 12-year problem. “At once the woman was made well.” She is now healed and may return to her family, to her church, and to the community - long-reaching effects of extreme faith.

Continuing to Jairus’s house where the funeral is already in session, Jesus dismisses all onlookers. “Make room, for the girl is not dead, but sleeping.” Sleep is in fact a designation for death in the New Testament, but See Faith on B6

$1 million - That’s what the State of North Carolina is offering to four North Carolinians who take the COVID vaccine.

Whole Man Ministries will present a drive-thru giveaway for the community on June 26 from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. that will offer the opportunity to receive COVID testing and vaccine shot. Perhaps one of the winners of a ONE MILLION DOLLARS could be from our event, said Bishop Washington.

What better place to receive a million dollars than on the campus of Whole Man Ministries, while also protecting yourself and your family from the COVID virus.

The event is open to the public and will provide food boxes, Wal-Mart items such as household

The Genesis Project 1 mobile unit will conduct COVID testing and vaccine shots for ages 12 years and older. Everything is free and all are invited. We plan to offer the vaccine to anyone who wants it. We know when

the greater portion of the population has been vaccinated, the greater protection for all of us. We have to continue to be vigilant and not get complacent.

Those who have been fully vaccinated can unknowingly pass the virus to someone who is not vaccinated.

Campus of Whole Man Ministries filled with long line of cars during community food giveaway.

The next drawing for a $1 million cash prize and $125,000 scholarship prize (12-17 year olds) will be Wednesday, July 7. The drawings will then happen biweekly on Wednesdays, so they would fall on July 21 and August 4. About 50% of the North Carolina population has been vaccinated and that number continues to increase as summer approaches.

Whole Man Ministries will have an American Red Cross mobile unit on campus on June 19 from 9 a.m. - 1 p.m. We are asking everyone to come out and donate blood, said Pastor Camilla Washington. Your donation will save lives.

Last year our blood drive event saved 42 lives!

Faith

From page B3

Jesus most likely meant that her death was real but a temporary sleep because He would raise her back to life again, and as the father’s faith request specified Jesus to lay hands.

“Jesus … took her by the hand and the girl got up” (verse 25). And the report of this went out into all the land (verse 26). News travels! This account of faith as expressed by the father and acted upon by Jesus helped build faith in

the entire region spread by those witnesses – who may now be considered a cloud as in the Hebrews account.

(The UMI Annual Commentary 2020-2021, The MacArthur Study Bible, The King James Study Bible, The Modern Life Study Bible, and The Oxford Bible Commentary).

For Your Consideration: Do we still ask Jesus for His touch today?

Can you think of an act of faith in your community that had a widespread effect?

Application: There are

T he C hronicle many people in our society who are hopeless, helpless, and desperate. As Christians and believers, we should show compassion and embrace them as fellow members of Christ’s family. We should respond to their needs with Christlike love – this requires faith with works. “Even so faith, if it hath no works, is dead, being alone. Yea, a man may say, thou hast faith, and I have works.

Shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works” (James 2:20).

UNCSA names Endalyn Taylor dean of the School of Dance SUBMITTED ARTICLE

The University of North Carolina School of the Arts (UNCSA) has named dancer, choreographer, and educator Endalyn Taylor as its new dean of the School of Dance effective August 1.

She will lead the conservatory’s dance program, which develops technically sound and stylistically versatile professional dancers through training in both classical and contemporary dance.

“Endalyn Taylor brings an incredible combination of professional experience and educational leadership to our esteemed School of

positions of director of Dance Theatre of Harlem (DTH) School in New York — a company she joined in 1984, becoming a principal dancer in 1993 — and director of the Cambridge Summer Art Institute in Massachusetts.

Her extensive administrative, artistic, and academic career is steeped in ballet pedagogy and she has created an eclectic body of choreographic works. She excels at restaging ballets, having performed many of the classics and having worked with luminaries in the field including DTH founder Arthur Mitchell, British-American ballet dancer and choreographer

dispel the myth of elitism and welcome disparate voices into the ballet canon,” she said. “With more than 25 years of teaching experience, I have built an arsenal of pedagogic tools and core values that cultivate artistry, mentoring, and versatility, and celebrate inclusionary ideals, policies, and systems.”

Taylor is one of three new deans to be appointed at UNCSA this year. In May the university announced independent filmmaker and educator Deborah LaVine as the new dean of the School of Filmmaking, and a new dean of the School of Music will be announced later
