John Larson decisively won the City Council South Ward primary that was held again during the June 7 primary.

Carolyn Highsmith, president of the Konnoak H i l l s Community Association, won the March 15 primary by just six votes with 2,029 votes to Larson’s 2,023 votes, before the State Board of Elections ordered a re-election

due to election errors. Tuesday’s turnout was far lower and the victory far larger with Larson receiving 962 votes to Highsmith’s 562.

Larson, vice president of restoration at Old Salem Museum and Gardens, will face Republican Michael Taylor in November.

“It sort of validates obviously the protest that we offered back in March, and validates the work we did to allow people to vote that had been disenfranchised,” said Larson.

Larson’s election protest to the Board of Elections involved voters who received the wrong ballot and were not able to vote in the South Ward primary when they should have. Larson said he believed there were less errors this time and commended the Board of Elections on its efforts.

Larson credited the hard work of his

Many teenagers have dreams of one day becoming fashion designers, but very few actually see it happen. On the other hand, some teens are bigger doers than dreamers. Like Rayonna Johnson, who turned that dream into reality before her high school graduation.

Johnson’s clothing line, 21Ray’s exploded on to the scene last Thursday evening during a fashion show held at Quality Education Academy (QEA), where Johnson has been a student since middle school.

From African print skirts and dresses for women and young girls to T-shirts for men and boys, the 21Ray’s collection is sure to have something that will catch

your eye. While discussing her journey into the world of fashion, Johnson said as early as elementary school she would sketch drawings of designs.

“I just love fashion. That’s all I can say,” Johnson smiled during an interview with The Chronicle.

“I can’t really remember when I first started, but I do know fashion and art have always been passions of mine,” she said. “I always knew that this is what I wanted to do.”

Soon after receiving a sewing machine, Johnson began to transform her sketches into clothes to wear to school - she even made her own prom dress for junior prom last year. Member of the executive leadership team at QEA Tamara Turner said after seeing Johnson sport some of her original designs to school, she encouraged her to turn her hobby into a business.

“The pieces that she wore to school were very cre-

As the world stops to say goodbye Friday, and threetime heavyweight champion of the world, Muhammad Ali, who died June 3 at age 74, is laid to rest in his hometown of Louisville, Ky., there are many right here in North Carolina who also hold fond memories of personally knowing and working with “the Champ.”

Ali had many friends in the state, dating back to his early days as a heavyweight champion. Two of them were Minister Kenneth and Sister Margaret Rose MurrayMuhammad of Raleigh.

“It certainly is a tremenSee more stories on dous loss to lose him,” Ms. Murray-Muhammad, a Muhammad Ali on retired educator, recalled pages A4, A5, A6 when reached by phone and B1.

Saturday morning, hours after the world woke up to news of his death at a Phoenix, Ariz. hospital Friday night. “But, he’s in a better place.”

The Murray-Muhammads became good friends with Ali and during the down times when he wasn’t training for an upcoming fight, Ali would come down to Raleigh and stay with the Murray-Muhammads at their West Raleigh home. “He was so vibrant and full of life,” Mrs. MurrayMuhammad says. ”We were happy to have him come to our home, and he would have been sort of incognito if my neighbor didn’t recognize him and told everybody.”

After a laugh, she added, “But he took it in stride.”

After Ali retired from boxing after 1980, he remained close with the Murray-Muhammads and in 1986, he was the guest of honor at the O. A. Dupree Scholarship Banquet at Shaw University in Raleigh at their invitation.

A literal who’s-who of North Carolina political, civic and academic leaders attended, and though Ali’s speech was slurred due to his Parkinson’s Disease, he told the audience how proud he was to be a Muslim, how he was now spending his retirement traveling the world with his wife, Lonnie, giving away autographed copies of the Holy Qu’ran, and bringing joy to people wherever and whenever he could.

“I enjoyed introducing him,” scholarship committee member Geoffrey Simmons recalls proudly. Virtually every North Carolina or Raleigh dignitary who delivered

Elections board weighs fall early voting options

T H E C H R ON I C LE

A2 JUNE 9, 2016

BY TODD LUCK THE CHRONICLE

The Forsyth County Board of Elections (BOE) is closer to early voting plans for the General Election after its meetings on Monday and Tuesday.

Board members Fleming El-Amin, Stuart Russell and Chair Ken Raymond all came up with their own 15-site early voting plans. They discussed the sties, determining that some, like Winston Lake YMCA, wouldn’t work because of scheduling El-Amin conflicts with activities there. A site at St. Paul United Methodist Church is being considered as an alternative for that area.

Another site that was discussed is Industries for the Blind (IFB). It was on both El-Amin and Russell’s lists.

Raymond had concerns about issues that BOE staff found with parking and finding a proper place for campaigners to electioneer.

“It’s a unique population with physical challenges we should be sensitive to,” said El-Amin. “I have a lot of respect for the work they do there.”

Anastasia Powell, IFB Adult program coordinator, is spearheading the effort for

the site.

“It’ll make voting accessible to people who are blind and visually impaired,” she said.

Powell said people who are blind and visually impaired like her can’t drive and have to rely on public transportation or family and friends to get someplace.

Having an early voting site at IFB would eliminate issues with transportation that make voting challenging. IFB has about 300 employees who are blind or visually impaired and serves many others with its services for that community.

Early voting machines have a mode for blind and visually impaired voters. It has a computerized voice that they hear through ear buds, guiding them through the process and instructing them on which button to press for their choices. On Election Day, the machines are available at every precinct. Blind and visually impaired voters can also have a poll worker help them with voting. IFB is offering its training and development multipurpose room for an early voting space, located at the entrance to the IFB Optical Center. Powell said IFB will hold some of its normal activities in a different space and arrange for different parking for IFB costumers to accommodate voters.

During the public comment session on Tuesday, two Wake Forest University students, Zachary Bynum and David Ajamy II, asked the board to remember college students during early voting. Ajamy said

ative,” said Turner. “Our focus here at QEA is business entrepreneurship. After seeing how talented she was and the attention the pieces were getting from her classmates and even some teachers, I knew she could turn this hobby into something more.”

Although she had already made a name for herself in the halls of QEA, leading up to the fashion show Johnson admitted she still didn’t have confidence in herself, but

Highsmith credited the low turnout for the vastly different results in this primary, which she felt was “undemocratic.” She said she plans to continue to advocate for the South Ward and didn’t rule out running again. She said she was disappointed that all the supporters who worked so hard on her campaign didn’t get a better result. “ My main regret is all these people had such high hopes for getting me in office,” she said. “They haven’t seen the last of us yet.”

In the 5th District primary for the U.S. House of Representatives, Rep. Virginia Foxx of Banner Elk beat Pattie Curran, an Army veteran and activist from Kernersville. Foxx has represented the heavily Republican district since 2004.

with the support of Turner and her mother Rhonda Flemming, she started to believe in herself.

“I just kept telling her that everything would work out and to continue following her dreams,” said Flemming. “I knew she had the talent to make it happen; she just needed that extra push.”

For more than three months, Johnson sewed dresses, skirts, pants, t-shirts and many more items for her friends to wear during her debut fashion show. During the event held inside the gymnasium, nearly 50 people came to get a sneak peek at what 21Ray’s has to offer.

“ My main regret is all these people had such high hopes for getting me in office.”

Democrat Josh Brannon once again. The software developer from Wautaga County defeated Jim Roberts and Charlie Wallin, garnering 47.65 percent of the vote.

“Whereever I’ve gone, I’ve found that people, no matter which side of the aisle they’re on, they really like the message of taking back our democracy from billionaires,” said Brannon.

“If I can get them to look past the “D” or the “R” on the ballot, I believe that we’ll have some change.”

Brannon, who lost to Foxx in 2014 by 22 percent, knows that the district is historically a longshot for Democrats, but he believes it’s an election year that anything can happen in. Brannon, who shares many positions with

Democratic Presidental Candidate Bernie Sanders, believes he’s part of a movement that’ll bring a wave of progressive congressional candidates to champion things like universal healthcare and getting big money out of politics.

In the N.C. Supreme Court race, Robert Edmunds of Greensboro, who has served on the state high court since 2001, and Superior Court Judge Michael R. Morgan of Raleigh will face off in November. Edmunds got 48 percent of the vote, while Morgan got 34.32 percent, beating attorneys Daniel Robertson of Advance and Sabra Jean Faires of Wake County in the non-partisan primary.

that there was a polling station next to campus but other colleges like WinstonSalem State University aren’t as lucky.

The Anderson Center at WSSU was an early voting site from 2000-2012 but hasn’t been one since. The board approved an early voting site plan for the March primary by a 2-1 vote without it. El-Amin appealed to the N.C. BOE with a plan that included the Anderson Center and Sunday voting and was denied. He’s said that he’s willing to appeal again if Anderson is not included.

During the appeal to the state board in February, WSSU Student Government President Kyle Brown talked about how freshmen aren’t allowed to park on campus. It’s more than a 30-minute walk to get to the closest early voting site at the downtown BOE office. He said he gave nearly 100 students a ride to the poles himself in 2014.

WSSU freshmen not having access to

their own vehicles is unique among the city’s large colleges with student residents.

Salem College and UNCSA both allow freshmen to park on campus. Wake Forest University has an off-campus freshmen lot that students are shuttled to and from.

Sites that all the board members agree on are the BOE office and Kernersville Senior Center/Library along with the Clemmons, Southside, Walkertown, Lewisville and Rural Hall Libraries. Other sites being considered include St. Peter’s World Outreach Center, Malloy/Jordan East Winston Heritage Center, Forsyth Tech’s Bolton Street campus and Tobaccoville Community Center along with Sedge Garden, Miller Park, Old Town, South Fork, Sprague Street, Polo Park, Brown Douglas and Sims recreation centers.

The next BOE meeting is Tuesday, June 14 at 10 a.m.

Aside from the unique designs and patterns, something else that makes Johnson’s line stand out is that many of the pieces can be worn multiple ways. When asked what fashion designers she is inspired by, Johnson said she doesn’t look at other fashion designers.

“I don’t really look at fashion designers, I just look at pieces that I like,” she continued. “I do know there aren’t many black fashion designers and I want to change that narrative.”

With high school in her rearview, this fall Johnson will take her talents to The Art Institute of Charlotte where she will major

in fashion and design. Before wrapping up her interview with The Chronicle, Johnson had words of encouragement for those who may be having second thoughts about pursuing their dreams.

“Never give up,” she said. “Whatever you want to do, do it. Even when it seems like it’s impossible, keep trying and keep pushing.”

City budget includes raises, tax increase and new police district Visit Our New Website www.WSChronicle.com

BY TODD LUCK THE CHRONICLE

A 2-cent tax increase, raises for city employees and a new central police district are all included in the City of WinstonSalem’s proposed budget.

A public hearing on the budget will be held today, June 9, at 7 p.m. at the City Hall committee room. City Council will vote on it on June 20.

Assistant City Manager Ben Rowe presented the $442 million 2016-2017 budget to the City Council during a meeting on Tuesday, June 7. The 2-cent tax increase would make the city tax rate 58.5 cents per $100 of value.

The budget will raise the minimum wage from $10.10 to $10.40. Council Members Derwin Montgomery and Dan Besse said that the city should look into ways to eventually get it closer to a livable wage.

“It’s an important topic we’re making strides to address,” said Besse.

Council Member Molly Leight asked about what it would take to eventually get the minimum wage to $15, which she was

T H E C H R ON I C LE

told would cost $5.4 million. That figure did not include adjustments on the wages of those making more than that, which would be needed.

The budget continues the city’s plan to raise police officer and firefighter salaries closer to market levels, which began with a 2 percent supplemental raise in January and 7.5 percent increase in starting salaries. The budget continues that, with another 2 percent supplemental raise next January and additional raises for police officers with five to 15 years of service to address attrition issues.

All other employees receive a 3 percent raise on top of being eligible for merit-pay raises of 1.5 percent to 3 percent. The city will also be initiating a 401(k) supplemental retirement plan with a 2 percent contribution by the city.

Finance Chair Robert Clark said they might need to give some positions more of a salary increase. Light equipment operator pay, for instance, is 10 percent below market and the position has a 45 percent voluntary turnover rate. Building Inspectors are 30 percent below market with 25 percent turnover rate, and con-

struction inspectors are 28 percent below market rate with an 18 percent turnover.

“Three percent may not cut it,” said Clark about some positions.

Of the 40 new positions in the budget is $310,000 for five positions that will be part of a new fourth police district in the central part of the city. The new district will include downtown and areas around it like UNC School of the Arts and WinstonSalem State University. This will let police better respond to the growing population in the central part of the city and coordinate events in that area.

Other public safety additions include five positions, paid for by the county, that will be part of the combined city-county forensic services unit. The budget also allocates $77,000 for the first of three fire safety inspectors to be hired over the next three years that will eliminate the need for firefighters to do fire code inspections.

Also in the budget:

needed for the new routes for the first half of 2017. *$378,000 for nine new Trans-AID positions to address increased demand for the WSTA handicap transportation service. *$196,000 for a new traffic signal system.

*$992,000 for major maintenance needs at Parks and Recreation facilities.

This includes basketball court resurfacing, picnic shelter renovations, recreation center renewal and work on soccer field irrigation systems. *$391,000 for an additional engineer, drainage maintenance crew and associated vehicles and equipment for the Stormwater Management Program. The program is expected to receive 1,350 drainage calls this year, up almost 47 percent from previous years. It’s also dealing with other environmental issues like groundwater contamination around the former Hanes Lowrance middles schools and methane at Bowman Gray Stadium.

Urban Farm School holds ceremony for graduates

BY TEVIN STINSON THE CHRONICLE

In light of recent concerns over access to healthy foods, the Forsyth County Cooperative Extension designed a course to help gardeners learn how urban farms can improve food security for Winston-Salem neighborhoods.

Collaboration with the Ministers’ Conference of Winston-Salem and Vicinity (MCWSV), city officials, the Urban Farm School (UFS) is for individuals who want to learn more about urban food production and marketing.

Last Thursday, June 2, UFS held its first graduation ceremony for those in the area who completed the course.

During the 12-week course, Taundra White,

Michael Banner, Milgo Floyd, and Victor “Vic” Jones, learned everything there is to know about growing and maintaining a successful garden in an urban setting. From soil preparation, crop selection and irrigation, to pest management, the students in the pilot course said after completing the course they learned that being a farmer requires you to wear many different hats, including being a carpenter, an electrician and even a plumber.

Along with attending lecture and lab classes, students also spent additional time working the land provided by the city on the corner of 22nd Street and Cleveland Avenue, in the heart of the East Winston community.

White, a former make-

up artist, said although she was making good money helping women with their make-up, she decided to take the course because she felt the need to do more to help improve the quality of life of people in the community.

“I am a great artist, but that is not what they need.” she continued. “They are hungry and suffering from malnutrition. I could look at their skin and listen to their conversations and tell that was the real issue.”

“I was charged then to step away and do something different to help my people,” White said.

After receiving his certificate of completion, city native Michael Banner said he got into agriculture when his wife was pregnant with his first daughter

*$298,000 for the new Winston-Salem Transit Authority bus routes that go into effect next year. This covers 12 positions

more than seven years ago.

He mentioned, “I am determined to provide healthy foods for my family and this entire community.

“We are defying the odds and it feels great,” said Banner. “I’m built for it and my classmates are built for it.”

Milgo Floyd said he is humbled by the fact that the city would help start a program that will help address concerns over access to food. Floyd also mentioned the job opportunities the program will bring to a community in dire need.

Victor “Vic” Jones encouraged everyone in the community to spread the word about UFS and the work they are doing to improve the lives of residents in Winston-Salem

and Forsyth County.

“I hope everyone in Winston-Salem visits the garden and helps spread the word because we are in need in this community,” Jones said.

During his keynote address, MCWSV president Bishop Todd Fulton, who played a major role in acquiring the land used for farming, encouraged the graduating students to return to their past in order to move forward in the future.

“The first job ever created was farming. Our ancestors were brought here and enslaved to be farmers. We are the original farmers,” said Fulton.

“They did an excellent job, so I encourage you today to return to your past so that we can move our commu-

nity forward.”

Before leaving the podium, Fulton said, “Get your phones out, take a picture of these Urban Farm School graduates.

“These are farmers that you should know. They are going to be ranked among the top 10 urban farmers in the country.”

According to Forsyth County Cooperative Extension agent Mary Jac Brennan, future courses will include aquaponicshydroponics, landscape gardening, and valueadded product development. UFS will also offer a market gardening course in the fall.

Thousands have visited the home to honor Louisville’s Hometown Hero, Muhammad Ali.

Muhammad Ali, ‘The Greatest,’ makes his final journey home

BY YVONNE COLEMAN BACH LOUISVILLE DEFENDER EDITOR

LOUISVILLE, KY — Hearts were heavy in many of the citizens of Louisville when it was announced that their hometown hero, boxing great Muhammad Ali, had died at the age of 74 in a Phoenix, Arizona hospital Friday, June 3, from complications relating to Parkinson’s disease, bringing to a close his most challenging fight.

Although Ali was known and loved throughout the country and the world, there was a special bond that he shared with his hometown. Louisville is the home of the Muhammad Ali Center and just recently, Ali’s childhood home was restored as a museum in his honor. The home is located in West Louisville, the heart of the African-American community.

Ali’s roots were in Louisville, everyone knew he would always return home.

Cassius Marcellus Clay, Jr. – Muhammad Ali –The Greatest, made his final journey home Sunday, June 5, 2016 in a private plane that carried his body back to his home. A motorcade led him to A. D. Porter & Sons Funeral Home—Southeast on Bardstown Road.

Louisville’s Hometown Hero is Home. Plans have been made for all to say their farewells to the Champ.

A Jenazah Service will be held at Freedom Hall at noon today, Thursday, June 9.

Ali’s funeral will be on Friday, June 10.

The public ceremony will be held at 2 p.m. at the KFC YUM Center in Downtown Louisville. Seating will be limited, with 15,000 tickets available. However, for those unable to attend, the service will be streamed live from www.alicenter.org.

Louisville Metro Mayor Greg Fischer issued a statement about his passing.

“The values of hard work, conviction and compassion that Muhammad Ali

welcome remarks to Ali during the dinner used his famous phrase, “Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee.” Finally when it was his turn to speak, Ali got up, thanked everyone for coming, and joked that a few of the speakers looked like his arch-rival, Joe Frazier.

When the emcee played a practical joke and gave Ali a rubber nose as a “Howard Cosell Fake Nose Award,” the champ leaned into the microphone and mumbled, “It’s the wrong color,” bringing the Shaw University gymnasium down with laughter.

After his victory over Sonny Liston to take the heavyweight boxing crown, the federal government soon ordered Ali to report for enlistment in the U.S. Army. Ali refused, saying that his Islamic faith prevented him from taking part in the bloody Vietnam War the U.S. was engaged in. Because of his refusal, the federal government stripped him of his title and passport for three years, preventing Ali from earning a living in the ring.

It was during the initial proceeding in federal court in Houston, Texas, in 1967 that Ali met Cecil Goins.

Mr. Goins, now 90, was one of the few black Federal U.S. Marshals in

developed while growing up in Louisville helped him become a global icon. As a boxer, he became The Greatest, though his most lasting victories happened outside the ring. Muhammad leveraged his fame as a platform to promote peace, justice and humanitarian efforts around the world, while always keeping strong ties to his hometown. Today, Muhammad Ali’s fellow Louisvillians join the billions whose lives he touched worldwide in mourning his passing, celebrating his legacy, and committing to continue his fight to spread love and hope. Thank you Muhammad, for all you’ve given your city, your country and the world.”

To honor Ali’s life and work, flags at all Metro Government facilities were lowered to half-staff at 10 a.m. Saturday morning when citizens joined the mayor in a special ceremony.

Kentucky U.S. Rep. John Yarmuth said, “The word ‘champion’ has never fit a man better. Muhammad Ali was a champion for peace, a champion for justice, and a champion for equality. He was a man who gained fame in a violent game, but immorality as a gentle and caring soul. In the ring, there was no one better, but his contributions to humanity managed to eclipse his boxing prowess.”

Yarmuth said he remembers watching every one of his championship fights. “I remember waiting for him at Standiford Field when he returned home after beating Liston, thinking to myself that I had never seen a more perfect human being. And I remember the loud-mouthed speedster by the name of Cassius Marcellus Clay, whose fights in and out of the ring would one day make him Muhammad Ali – a selfless giant who put principles over everything and never forgot the city he called home.”

He truly was the greatest, especially in his hometown. Growing up in Louisville, many in his age group had the opportunity

the nation at the time.

Having joined in 1965, Goins was part of security for the historic Selma to Montgomery, Ala. march.

The Southern Pines native, NC A&T alum and U.S. Army World War II/Korean War veteran, was based out of the Eastern District North Carolina, but because the Ali case had drawn such worldwide attention, he and another black deputy U.S. Marshal were reassigned to Houston by the U.S. Justice Dept. to provide protection for the controversial prizefighter.

“Our orders were to go down and keep order,” Goins recalls, noting that with a prominent black college, Texas Southern University, right there, huge crowds of young people, as well as protesters, were expected.

“I was with him every day,” Goins said during a phone interview from his Raleigh home on Monday, adding that Ali was in “good shape” because he had been training for an upcoming fight when he had been indicted. Ali was always up early in the morning for prayer and to jog, and then would arrive at the courthouse at least an hour before his 9 a.m. trial.

Ali would use that time to walk the halls and meet people. The U.S. Marshals were required to issue tickets to spectators in order to admit them to the court-

to attend high school with him, then known as Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr. at Central High School; he babysat for those that lived in his neighborhood on Grand Avenue. Even when Ali became the Heavyweight Champion of the World and moved away, he always returned to his hometown. He never forgot where he came from.

Ali’s popularity transcends age and race lines. Young children that were not even born when Ali achieved his greatness in the boxing ring know exactly who he is.

Ali often times returned home to speak and interact with area youth from all races and walks of life.

It was in Louisville that Ali first learned of racism. As a small boy, his mother Odessa Grady Clay, a household domestic worker, took her son downtown to the five-and-dime store. She said her son was thirsty and he asked for a drink of water, but the store would not give it to him because of his color. His mother said he started to cry and she calmed him down by taking him to a place where he could get some water. However, she said it really hurt him.

Young Cassius Clay’s bike was stolen when he was 12 years old. It was that incident that led him to take boxing lessons from retired Louisville Police Officer Joe Martin.

When he left Louisville, Ali’s family remained, including the mother that was dear to him. She died August 20, 1994 at the age of 77 in Louisville and was eulogized by local minister Rev. Dr. Kevin Cosby. “One of the greatest honors of my life was when Muhammad Ali asked me to preach the eulogy of his mother Odessa,” said Cosby.

Cosby said, “When I eulogized Ali’s mother, I said Odessa his mother was the root and Ali was the fruit. He (Muhammad Ali) stood on his feet! It was a great honor!”

Many more sent in their respects for Ali, such as Oprah Winfrey, President Barack Obama, Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin, U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (a Kentucky Republican) and U.S. Sen. Rand Paul (also a Kentucky Republican).

Before the Friday funeral service, there will be a procession throughout Louisville to allow the general public to pay their respects. Starting at 9 a.m., the procession will travel northbound on Bardstown Road, westbound on the Watterson Expressway and then north on I-65 to westbound I-64, exiting on the 9th Street Ramp. The procession will then travel west on Muhammad Ali Blvd. to 34th Street, left on 34th Street to Broadway, making a left on Broadway and then traveling to Cave Hill Cemetery. The procession will proceed slowly to allow mourners to pay their respects.

Pallbearers for the funeral will include Will Smith, the actor who portrayed Ali in the movie ALI; John Grady, Ali’s cousin; Ibn Ali-Muhammad Ali’s nephew; Komawi Ali, former brother-in-law; Jerry Ellis, brother of Jimmy Ellis who was Ali’s former sparring partner and a former heavyweight champion of the world, also a Louisville native; Lennox Lewis, former heavy weight champion of the world; Jan Wadell, Ali’s first cousin; and John Ramsey, Ali family Friend.

Speakers at the funeral will include Lonnie Ali, Maryum Ali, Rev. Dr. Kevin Cosby, Rabbi Joe Rapport, Actor/Comedian Billy Crystal, Bryant Gumbel, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erogan, King Abdullah II of Jordan, Orrin Hatch, and Former President Bill Clinton, a representative of the Catholic Faith and a representative of the Buddhist Faith.

“When there were breaks during the trial, Ali would leave his lawyers and come out to be with the people, “the retired U.S. Marshal says.

As someone who had served in the U.S. Army active duty for many years over two wars, Mr. Goins admits that he didn’t agree

with Ali’s refusal to serve at first. But Goins got the chance to speak to the heavyweight champion every day before the trial would start, understand him, and also observe him.

Goins was impressed when black militant leader H. Rap Brown came to the Houston courthouse to apparently join with Ali to

start a protest against the war, and Goins saw Ali turn Brown away. The champ knew he was facing at least five years in federal prison, he was determined to wage his fight against the Vietnam War through the courts. Goins recalls H. Rap Brown did not come back.

“I agree with the mass-

es of people. At the time I thought he was dodging to serve in the military. But now I can see his reasoning,” Mr. Goins, who later retired from the U.S. Marshals after 25 years, says. “He had more nerve than most people to do what he did.”

People on the street

Question: What would you say is the legacy of Muhammad Ali?

BY TEVIN STINSON THE CHRONICLE

Muhammad Ali, born Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr., passed away on Friday, June 3 in Scottsdale, Arizona. He was quite possibly the most recognized athlete in the world and considered a civil rights icon.

We asked people in the area about his legacy.

Seymone Rayner

“His legacy was his choice of words. That’s what made him who he was; what he spoke. He was a great person of words and he believed in everything he said and because of that, he became everything that he was saying.”

Arthur Hardin

“To me his legacy is inspiring black males to excel in all professions as well as academically and in sports. Really, just keeping black men in our community making a difference.”

Rodale Monroe

“His legacy is the hard work and dedication he put into everything he achieved. He is a legend. Muhammad Ali did great things.”

“Statesman and all the other things have been stated, but really his legacy is his unabashed blackness. With the anti-war stance and just the wisdom he has given over the years, he was never ashamed to be a black man. He’s a hero.”

James Armstrong

“Muhammad Ali brought awareness to Parkinson’s Disease through his foundation and many acts of generosity.

He was a legend in the fight game - that’s pridmarily what he’s known for - but the last 10 to 15 years he was known for bringing awareness to Parkinson’s Disease.

He fought the good fight.”

Raydesha Godard

Joanna Jones

“I think he will be remembered as someone who always spoke the truth and was really transparent about what he has been through and what he was thinking.”

Jo’Ann Hariston “To me, his legacy is

change, commitment, humanity, loyalty, perseverance and courage.

When I think of Muhammad Ali, I think of those attributes. He was truly the greatest.”

Muhammad Ali – a credit to his race

AP Photo Muhammad Ali is surrounded by fellow athletes seated and some officials standing in 1967, when they supported his move to object to being drafted to fight in the Vietnam War.

I have been blessed Bill to watch and gain awareTurner ness from the light of Guest Muhammad Columnist Ali from the time it was a blinding flash, a sunny beam of hope, to the long stretch during which time it flickered and shook, and then, last week, when it was extinguished. Much more than a spirited butterfly flitted away, taking with him his companion stinging bumble bee, but it’s like the last black man standing left the room, taking a certain light with him.

Muhammad Ali left us, as we expected, but he also left a lot of room.

I wish I could express my feelings – and those of countless other blacks my age -- about what the passing of Muhammad Ali means deep down inside; and do so in the way that only he could talk, in the way only he did his thing as an unbridled black man during a span of time what that is now a collective memory. For many of us,

Muhammad Ali was Black Identity and Black Manhood in the flesh and he reflected in his actions deep convictions and upright conscientious opposition to racial injustice, all now little more than abstractions, except for, of course, racial injustice.

This week as Ali is exalted and glorified around the world, and as his quirky quotes are recycled and photos of his magnificently pretty face and dazzlingly manly body are blasted all over the place through social media – making him known to the youngsters who are just fresh from the death of Prince – I only wish that they could fathom what it really meant for a black man – in 1967 – to denounce the American military establishment and embrace what was then, and even now, considered by some, to be a foreign religion. And, not only that, Ali courageously joined hands, not with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., but directly with the then much despised Nation of Islam and Malcolm X. That Ali “transcended race” will likely become a clichéd expression this week.

Ali’s hand-picked eulogists – former President Bill Clinton and comedian Billy Crystal and journalist Bryant Gumble --

will probably go to great lengths not to offend the sensibilities of those who never did like it when Ali hugged black history, glorified black culture and defended the powerless black public that he said “raised, swayed and delivered” him to the world.

Since Ali’s body gave in to Parkinson’s Disease three decades ago, his uninhibited expression of blackness has been sacrificed in the ring of political correctness and to the rope-a-dope speechifying of those who wish to think we live in a postracial America.

I hope -- from the perspective of a 70 year-old black man -- that someone will dare say in Louisville during this week of tributes to The Champ what used to be said all the time when I was young about any black person like Muhammad Ali: that he was a “credit to his race.” That said would challenge today’s highly visible black athletes who can’t, as we used to say, “hold Ali’s jock strap,” those who now do little more than sell sneakers and cell phones and Gator Ade. I wish that the young ones today could see back through the lens of time – when The Champ was surrounded in 1967 in

Cleveland, Ohio by some of the top black sportsmen in the NBA (Bill Russell) and the NFL (Jim Brown) – when hardly any black celebrities hawked consumer products. But, I won’t lose any sleep waiting for that to be said and explained.

Credit Ali when he was at his peak – and at his lowest, when the powerful interests got together to extinguish his flame – for agitating for a powerful and positive image of Black Identity and Black Manhood, for modeling what a principled black man who opposed racial injustice thinks and sounds like, and is willing to fight, to pay the price for his beliefs, with a smile on his face and love in his heart.

As-Salaam-Alaikum, Brother Muhammad Ali, Peace be unto you.

Thanks for your light that will never be extinguished. You left the room bright with hope, and you left a lot of room for us to grow and we will, inshallah, God willing.

Turning back the clock in 2016 GUEST EDITORIAL

It is in-conceivable in this year of 2016 that we have a presumptive candidate of a major political party running on a platform of racism, sexism, bigotry and hatred.

It is less conceivable that a majority of the party agrees with and supports his position. This is still America. It’s not quite the same as it was pre-civil rights days but it still possesses many of the characteristics of days of old.

From the days of Lincoln up to the days of Lyndon B. Johnson, each and every national election was a political contest between the candidates who favoredblacks and the ones who vowed to maintain the status quo. Fear mongers used the bestiality of the black man and fear of reprisals against the slave master as a reason to deny the slave full protection under the law. He had to be contained and controlled.

The country clearly belonged to the White Anglo Saxton Protestant Males.

The 15th Amendment gave blacks the right to vote. United States Supreme Court decisions in the late 19th century interpreted the amendment narrowly. From 1890 to 1910, most black voters in the South were effectively disenfranchised by new state constitutions and state laws incorporating such obstacles as poll taxes and discriminatory literacy tests, from which white voters were exempted by grandfather clauses. A system of whites-only primaries and violent intimidation by white groups also suppressed black participation.

Propositions to ease these restrictions during national elections met with fierce opposition.

White women in the Unites States won the right to vote in the late 19th century.

Segregationists feeling assured

Barry Goldwater, the Republican candidate for U.S. president in 1964, can be seen as the godfather (or maybe the midwife) of the current Tea Party. He believed the Civil Rights Act was unconstitutional.

But states, he said, should implement the law in their own time. Many white southerners, especially segregationists, felt reassured

by Goldwater's words. African-Americans heard the message that was intended to be heard, which was that Goldwater and the Goldwater wing of the Republican Party were opposed not only to the Civil Rights Act, but to the Civil Rights Movement, in large part, as well. What happened to black members of the “Party of Lincoln”? When Goldwater, in his nomination acceptance speech, famously told the ecstatic convention "extremism in the defense of liberty” is no vice," he was speaking of "a very specific notion of liberty. "Small government, a government that doesn't give out handouts to black people; a government that doesn't have laws that interfere with states' rights; a government that is not conducting a war on poverty."

From the middle 1970s to the election of Barack Obama in 2008, civil rights, social and political inclusion was the tone of the day.

Enter Donald Trump in 2008 with his “birther” rhetoric. Out of the blue, even though proven wrong time after time, he insisted that Barack Obama was not an American citizen.

Donald Trump was well aware that if you were born to parents, at least one of whom was a U.S. citizen at the time of your birth; you automatically gained U.S. citizenship through the process of acquisition. It does not matter whether you were born on American soil or foreign. If you have children, those children will also acquire U.S. citizenship through you at their birth.

The US Constitution states: “No person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that office who shall not have attained to the age of thirty-five years, and been fourteen years a resident within the United States.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

We celebrate a fearless champion: Muhammad Ali To the Editor:

Our hearts are filled with sadness as we learn of the passing of Muhammad Ali. He is an exemplar of personal strength and athletic grace. His lifelong career made it possible for people of different races to sit together and enjoy the meaning of a sportsmanship that demonstrated relentless competitiveness, sometimes with an accompaniment of poetic assertiveness and provocative humor.

His emphatic rejection of the casual racial discrimination, which others seemed to take for granted as an inevitable characteristic of American society, took him high into the ranks of the nation's chief advocates of equal status for all persons. Likewise, his brave integrity outside the sports arena on behalf of religious freedom and opposition to senseless war should admit him into the

orbit of civil rights heroes.

The Civil Rights community mourns his loss with the rest of the world, and we will remember him warmly and honor his legacy as a fearless champion who led the way in breaking down walls that have divided us, without giving up on who he really wanted to be. We extend our heartfelt condolences to his family.

John L. Swaine, CEO International Civil Rights Center & Museum Greensboro

Muhammad Ali: champion of human and civil rights To the Editor:

Muhammad Ali was not only a champion in the boxing ring, but he was a champion of human

and civil rights. During a difficult time in American history he stood on principle to end racism and bigotry. In doing so, Ali showed the world how a true champion can stand with courage, selfrespect, and dignity.

Muhammad Ali made a considerable impact on the world and his spirit and his work will live on for generations to come.

On behalf of the Congressional Black Caucus, we send our deepest condolences to Butterfield his family, and we mourn the loss of a true American hero.

My memories of Muhammad Ali REFLECTIONS

BY TIMOTHY RAMSEY THE CHRONICLE

As a child, I was introduced to boxing by my father, Timothy J. Ramsey Sr. During my early years of watching the sport, I thought Mike Tyson was the best boxer that ever lived. That was until my father showed me clips of Muhammad Ali fighting Joe Frazier and epic battle with George Foreman. I then began to appreciate the man he was inside of the ring.

You couldn't help but admire a man that told his opponents what he was going to do to them before he Ramsey

entered the ring, then had the skill and talent to back it up.

His classic rhymes and oneliners were before his time, and his verbal battles with the legendary Howard Cosell will live on forever.

I remember when I was living in St. Petersburg, Florida, and I was able to meet Muhammad Ali at a banquet. At that time, t he was the first celebrity I had ever met. I was very intimidated, but he could not have been a nicer person. This was in the early ’90s, so his Parkinson's had not taken over his body as much. He was able to converse with me for a short time. It was the highlight of my year. He signed an autograph for me that I still have and treasure to this day.

As I matured, I was able to understand the impact Ali had outside of the ring and admired him more and more.

He will surely be missed.

Drug discount helping African-Americans is at risk Dr. Sam Ross

Guest Columnist

It is well established that low-income AfricanAmericans tend to be sicker when they arrive at the emergency room. It’s the mission of safety-net providers to treat them (and all patients) regardless of ability to pay.

Unfortunately, the drug industry is working hard in Washington to make that much more difficult.

At issue is a little dknown but enormously important federal statute called the 340B drug discount program. Hundreds of thousands of poor urban and rural AfricanAmericans benefit daily dfrom the program as it helps make free and slid-

ing-scale medications and healthcare services possible. As an AfricanAmerican physician and CEO of an inner-city hospital system, I see the profound good it does every day.

Congress created the 340B program in 1992 to allow nonprofit and public healthcare providers that serve large numbers of low-income and/or rural patients to receive discounted medications from drug companies. In turn, these safety-net providers supply low-cost or no-cost medicines to the community on an outpatient basis.

The program also helps fund clinics, improved pharmacy services, medication education and patient travel to the hospital.

The pharmaceutical industry appears to deeply dislike the program and has spent the last couple of years doing everything

possible to dismantle it in Congress. Even at a time of stratospheric prescription prices, drug companies want to gut 340B to recoup an estimated $4.5 billion in discounts each year. To give you some perspective, that’s about 1 percent of the annual U.S. retail pharmaceutical market.

On average, safety-net hospitals care for more than twice as many African-American patients as other providers. Public hospitals serve on average nearly 30 percent AfricanAmerican patients. As a whole, hospitals in the 340B program deliver $25 billion per year in uncompensated care.

Shrinking 340B would be disastrous for AfricanAmerican communities across the country.

Cutbacks would immediately impact the availability of free and low-cost medicines as well as clinics that cater to key health

inequities facing AfricanAmerican patients: HIV/AIDS, diabetes, hypertension and cancer.

For many rural hospitals which run on tight margins, the loss of 340B savings could force them to shut down altogether.

It’s important to understand that the program is not funded by taxpayers.

Instead, it’s paid for indirectly by the drug industry that can well afford it. I urge readers to contact their members of Congress and tell them to protect the 340B drug discount program.

It’s essential to the well-being of low-income African-Americans in towns and cities across the country – and to the fabric of America’s healthcare safety net.

cousins who stepped in and served as father figures. So these black men were always around, telling us that we could be something in life.

Our entire neighborhood took an interest in our development.

Coming home from school, I can remember being asked how my day was and if I had homework. I both admired and feared the men in my neighborhood.

We all knew that if we stepped out of line that we would be kicked back into line by our elders. It was useless to say anything to our fathers, grandfathers or other male role models because they wouldn’t side with us as kids. There was an unwritten rule in black neighborhoods that the men there would take care of us and make sure that we were OK. Respect was the password in our neighborhoods long before Aretha Franklin sang the song “Respect.” Saying “yes sir” and taking your hat off when you entered someone’s house or entered a building was just the way it was. There weren’t any questions asked or reasons given for this behavior.

Baby boomers, like me, still say “yes sir” and still

take our hats off when we enter someone’s home or enter a building. Good manners had no bearing on your parent’s education or status in the community.

What was at play here was instilling in us as black boys a set of rules and regulations that we still carry with us today.

Spirituality was extremely important in black neighborhoods.

There was never a question about going to Sunday school and then staying for church and then going back for evening service.

Saturday or Sunday was church and that was the way it was. And when we went to school, we stayed for the entire day until school was out. Who ever heard of getting kicked out of school for fighting or some other ridiculous act.

As black boys, we took school seriously as we knew in the end that it would help us. It helped also that we had teachers who cared about us and believed that we could achieve.

Now as we are well into another year, the state and welfare of black boys continues to be in peril.

While there are some pockets of excellence, there are too many valleys of

despair. A culture of hopelessness and no goals has young black boys in its clutches.

Time-honored phrases like “yes sir” and thank you have been replaced by “what’s up” and “whatever.” Boyish looks and charm have been replaced by acting and looking too old too soon.

High expectations have soured into low or no ideals. The concept of “It takes a village to raise a child” has turned into “Make it the best way that you can.” Instead of lifting up and celebrating black men of prominence, black boys now turn to sports stars and music stars. Ask a young African-American male today to identify the latest sneakers and they will give you an immediate response. Ask them to identify two Civil Rights heroes besides Dr. King and they will be hard pressed. There is something drastically wrong with this picture.

Having pride in one’s appearance has gone to wearing clothes that are two, sometimes three, sizes too big for them. While this is the social malaise black boys find themselves in, we cannot allow this to be the future. It is my strong feeling that African-

AfricanAmerican boys in America are facing an uphill battle when it comes to success.

Traditional institutions and age-old strategies are being stretched in order to find solutions to stop this downward trend of hopelessness and despair.

Why have we found ourselves in this place?

What got us here?

Opinions come from all walks of life. Many of us would suggest that the lack of a stable family structure has a great bearing on where we are today.

Everyone that I knew as a child had a strong home environment. For example, while our fathers weren’t perfect, they did provide us with the basic necessities such as food, clothing, shelter and guidance. I believe many of my generation took these things for granted in our community.

Just as important was the fact that there were also grandfathers, uncles, and

made history by becoming the first African American president in the history of the country.

Inheritance of bigotry

The racism exhibited

by Trump against Barack Obama, was a learned mindset inherited from his father years earlier.

When a black woman asked to rent an apartment in a Brooklyn complex managed by Donald Trump’s real estate company, she said she was told that nothing was available. A short time later, a white woman who made the same request was

invited to choose between two available apartments. The two would-be renters on that July 1972 day were actually undercover “testers” for a governmentsanctioned investigation to determine whether Trump Management Inc. discriminated against minorities seeking housing at properties across Brooklyn and Queens.

Federal investigators also gathered evidence.

Trump employees had secretly marked the applications of minorities with codes, such as “No. 9” and “C” for “colored,” according to government interview accounts filed in federal court. The employees allegedly directed blacks and Puerto Ricans away from buildings with

mostly white tenants, and steered them toward properties that had many minorities, the government filings alleged. In October 1973, the Justice Department filed a civil rights case that accused the Trump firm, whose complexes contained 14,000 apartments, of violating the Fair Housing Act of 1968.

Trump began his presidential primary campaign by insulting and name calling each and every Republican candidate in the race.

The bullying, ridicule, profanity, and rhetoric were something no aspiring presidential candidate had experienced before.

Next was the attack on women. Then the

attack on Mexicans, Black Lives Matter, Muslims, the urging of violence against protesters, and his latest, attack on a federal judge.

Americans who support these negative qualities in a presidential candidate are inviting disaster to the United States, themselves, their families and to future generations. He captured the imagination of his supporters with showmanship and fear. He has painted blacks, Mexicans, and Muslims as the scourge of the earth.

These United States of America belongs to its diverse millions of citizens. Trump, who is of European (German) decent, feels that the country belongs to and

Americans have too much history to simply give into this period of despair.

Teddy Pendergrass sang in one of his many hits, “Wake up everybody, no more sleeping in bed, no more backward thinking, time for thinking ahead.”

Individuals and groups, both black and white, must decide to be an elixir for this problem. Any person can mentor a child. It only takes a willingness to serve. Teachers, counselors, coaches and administrators must take up the mantle of hope and design programs for black boys at an early age.

Mentoring groups abound that must re-double their efforts to save black boys from themselves.

Places of worship must redirect their efforts toward strengthening black boys and the family structure.

For example, instead of adopting a family for a particular holiday, adopt the family for the entire year. I think the higher calling and more difficult calling is to adopt a family over a period of time.

While partnering activities are on the rise, there ought to be more of them.

Schools, cities, social service agencies and places of worship all have the ability

should be controlled by the likes of him. He can never be representative of anyone except those people who he believes are of the same ethnic heritage as he. He cannot be president in the interest of African Americans, Latinos, Mexicans, Muslims, or anyone else who disagrees with him.

His latest attacks on the federal judge who is presiding over his “Trump University” case points up his disregard for anyone who does not do his bidding and challenges his bullying ego.

Trump the “Bully”

The bully's ego is artifice. His arrogance is a hollow confidence. His condescension is a need

to form alliances with each other. Businesses can also play a major role by sponsoring programs and events. Our communities grow stronger when all of its parts are viable and valued.

So, watching a generation of African-American boys disappear before our eyes is not an option.

Talking about the problem while admirable will not stop the decline. It is the “doing of the talking” that matters.

Turning our backs on it and pretending that it doesn’t exist won’t work either.

And lastly, because our families don’t have problems, doesn’t mean that we can’t help as it may not be us today but it may be us tomorrow.

to belittle. His rage is a need to control.

This ego for him is a fragile thing, driven by fear and narcissism, not by power, nor by the power he wishes so desperately to possess. In fact, the bully is actually quite powerless, for he is only as powerful as the power we give him. He feeds on our fear, but his hunger is driven solely by his own.

As was the case with Barry Goldwater, let the decent people of these United States speak out against this bully at the ballot box and hand him the resounding defeat he deserves.

County Commissioners to decide on bonds T h e C h r on i C Le

A8 JUNE 9, 2016

Visit Our New Website www.WSChronicle.com

By ToDD LUCk The ChroniCLe

The Forsyth County commissioners will decide which bonds will go on the november ballot during their 2 p.m. briefing today.

The commissioners met on Thursday, June 2 for an initial debate about potential bonds. They need to approve a resolution about what bond referendums go on the ballot by June 13.

Bond referendums let voters approve the debt borrowed for bond projects and the tax increase needed to pay for it. They also have the option of using limited obligation bonds, which lets the county take on debt without voter approval. “it’s time to put up or shut up,” said County Commissioner Walter Marshall about renovating or replacing the Forsyth County hall of Justice.

There’s a proposal to

Bennett,

replace the hall of Justice for $145 million, and one that involves renovating and expanding it for $112 million. The aging 1975 courthouse has inadequate facilities and space for its functions according to attorney richard Bennett, who has been advocating for a new courthouse with the Forsyth County Bar Association. “it barely did the job then and it’s gotten worse over the years,” said Bennett. he said there are safety concerns with prisoner

transportation, and a lack of elevators sometimes causes judges to be in the same elevator with prisoners. he said he prefers building a new courthouse on Second Street with an adjoining walkway with the neighboring Forsyth County Detention Center.

Bennett also preferred for it not be on the ballot.

County Commissioner everette Witherspoon echoed those thoughts, saying he was doubtful if voters would approve a bond referendum, but that the project definitely needs to

Whisenhunt

be funded.

The other proposed bonds are $350 million for Winston-Salem/Forsyth County School System that will pay for new and renovated schools and new technology; $65 million for Forsyth Technical Community College for a new aviation program at Smith reynolds Airport along with building renovations and construction; $10-15 million for Parks and recreation; and $20 million to turn the old Sheriff’s office building into the home of the com-

bined SciWorks and Children’s Museum.

SciWorks Director Paul kortenaar said he didn’t have a preference for whether SciWorks gets a bond referendum or limited obligation bond. he was confident that voters would approve it if it was on the ballot.

“We feel like we would be supported,” he said.

All together there’s $595.6 million in bond requests being considered, with a goal of pairing them down to $556 million or less so the amount of the county’s budget spent on debt service doesn’t go above 18 percent. if $556 million in bonds was approved, it would be an 8cent increase in county property tax. County Commissioners Gloria Whisenhunt and richard Linville both said they couldn’t support $556 million in bonds, even as a referendum. Whisenhunt also

said whatever bond projects the county pursues should be put on the ballot.

As the economy has improved and interest rates remain low, bonds have become more commonplace on ballots. voters approved a statewide nC Connect bond in March and a city bond in 2014.

But Whisenhunt said she was concerned about raising county taxes so much. “i think that’s just too much to ask of our taxpayers who are just now recovering,” she said. “i don’t have the stomach to raise my hand for that type of tax increase.”

Chairman Dave Plyler said he was fine with putting all five on the ballot.

Commissioner Don Martin was said he supported the public schools and Forsyth Tech bonds. Martin was unsure about the rest and felt the proposals on the courthouse were too expensive.

Local health clinic in south expands service

By Tevin STinSon The ChroniCLe

United health Centers (UhC, formerly, Southside United health Center) is looking to expand its services in Winston-Salem and Forsyth County as well as other areas.

During an interview earlier this week, Chief executive officer LaShun huntley said the name change is part of the 501(c)(3) nonprofit health organization’s plan to reach more patients and ensure everyone in the area has access to affordable healthcare. huntley said that under the old moniker, many people in the community assumed the center only served residents that live in the southern portion of the city.

“The name change just made sense,” huntley continued. “We are looking to expand in the city as well as in other counties and communities.”

“A lot of people thought we only served those who live on the south side. We wanted everyone to know that we are here to serve everyone no matter where they stay.”

Along with the name change and new logo, the organization has also opened a new clinic in the SeCU Commons located at 2351 Felicity Circle. UhC now also has extended hours during the week and is open on Saturdays. huntley, who became Ceo of the organization

“We are excited about the new location and the growth we have seen over the years.”

– LaShun Huntley, Chief Executive Officer

in 2012 after volunteering for two years, noted that although a lot has changed, the “patient centered philosophy” will remain the same.

“We are excited about the new location and the growth we have seen over the years,” said huntley. “our mission to provide healthcare for those in need will remain the same but now we have the ability to do that on a larger scale.”

The original healthcare center located in the Southeast Plaza Shopping Center on Waughtown Street opened its doors in 2009, after six neighborhood associations advocated for the establishment of a community clinic in an area termed “medically-underserved.” in 2012, the clinic achieved federally qualified health center status, which among other things provided the means to hire quality

medical staff. over the years, UhC has proven to be an outlet for minorities seeking medical attention. ninety percent of the people served at the clinic are black or from hispanic decent. in 2014, more than 85 percent of the patients who visited the clinic we at or below the poverty rate.

“That’s what we are all about here,” said huntley, “to provide quality affordable service to the underserved.

With the help from our wonderful staff and others in the community we have made that possible.”

Along with providing on-the-spot medical care, medical staff encourage new patients to make the clinic their medical home as well. huntley said patients looking for a medical home should consider UhC because it will make it easier for doctors to diagnose and positively impact chronic diseases.

“There is no limitation to what we can do here. if youare looking for a medical home, United health Centers’ is the place for you.”

United health Centers is accepting new patients. For more information, visit the clinic located in the Southeast Plaza Shopping Center or the new location in The SeCU Commons, 2351 Felicity Circle. UhC can also be reached by phone at 336-293-8728.

N.C. black voter registration has outpaced white since 2008

BY CASH MICHAELS FOR THE CHRONICLE

When it comes to presidential elections, 2008 remains a banner year, especially to black Democrats who went to the polls and helped drive Barack Obama’s historic victory to the presidency.

Obama won the Tar Heel state by only 1,400 ballots over Republican Sen. John McCain, thanks to early and provisional voting, and there’s no question that strong African-American turnout was key.

It was just as strong, if not more so in 2012, even though President Obama lost North Carolina to Republican challenger Mitt Romney.

Now that the president is stepping down and expected to pass the mantle to reported presumptive nominee former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who, with the help of Democratic super-delegate support, is expected to officially become the party’s nominee at the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia in July, will North Carolina’s black voters turn out in large numbers for a third presidential election in a row?

A large part of that answer, of course, lies in whatever turnout effort is mounted. But thanks to Democracy North Carolina, a nonprofit, nonpartisan voter education organization, new numbers

show black voter registration from 2008 through this election year statewide is dramatically up.

And they’re not all necessarily Democrats.

At special request, Bob Hall, executive director of Democracy NC, provided a demographic breakdown of N.C. voter registrations as of June 2008, June 2012 and now, June 2016. The breakdown, from the North Carolina Board of Elections Office, is countyby-county, and the chart shows to what extent the percentage every four years changed among North Carolina’s racial and political demos.

Hall notes that there are several important observations that can be made from the new data. “Voters are increasingly not indicating their race or party affiliation when they register,” says Hall. Thus, unaffiliated voters, by far, are the largest share of newly registered voters with unaffiliated voters increasing by 53% from 2008 to 2016, or 655,000 of the total 774,000 during that period.

Democrats increased only by 1 percent, and Republicans by 4 percent.

The total number of registered voters increased by 13 percent between June 2008 and June 2016, with self-identified black voters increasing by 22 percent, Hispanics by a whopping 58 percent.

The numbers show, according to Hall, white voter registration in North

Carolina, during this same period, only increasing 6 percent.

“In raw numbers, the state added more black voters than white voters from June 2008 to June 2016 – 265,800 compared to 253,300,” says Hall.

“There were an additional 52,800 Latino voters.

There were more than 100,000 additional voters who did not mark a racial classification when they registered. Over 300,000 (about 4.5 percent) of all voters registered left blank or marked “other” when given the choice (of ethnicity to choose from.)”

Hall continued that the counties with the biggest voter registration gains were urban, suburban, coastal resort counties and those with military bases nearby.

The numbers show that overall Wake had a 23 percent increase in voters, compared to Mecklenburg County’s increase of 16 percent, and New Hanover’s 20 percent.

In Forsyth County where the number of registered voters has gone from 204,443 in 2008 to currently 242,208 - an 18 percent jump – black voter registration ballooned 28 percent. White voters only increased by 9 percent.

Unaffiliated voters there also exploded 64 percent, or by over 25,000, Democrats by 10 percent, and Republicans by only three percent.

Local student wins scholarship for excellence

BY TIMOTHY RAMSEY THE CHRONICLE

It comes as no surprise to those who know James Huntley III that he excels in the classroom as well as in athletics. As the winner of the Bruce Shelton Memorial Scholarship, Huntley, a senior at Atkins Academic & Technology High School, has impressed all that have come in contact with him.

The Shelton Scholarship is named for

the late Bruce Shelton, a graduate of Parkland High School. Shelton was a standout three-sport athlete who is a member of the Winston-Salem/Forsyth County High School Sports Hall of Fame. The Shelton Scholarship is awarded by the Winston-Salem Foundation annually to the senior in the local public high schools who best exemplifies the academic, athletic, and civic achievements for which Shelton was known, according to

JUNE 9, 2016

the Foundation.

Huntley, born and raised in Winston-Salem, is the captain of the basketball and cross-country teams at Atkins. He says that basketball is his favorite sport and uses cross-country as a means to build stamina for basketball season. He was named to the All-Conference basketball team during his junior and senior seasons and was voted MVP by his teammates this past season.

He also led his team in

Local female boxer fights for vacant title on same night as son’s pro debut

BY TIMOTHY RAMSEY THE CHRONICLE

The rematch between Carlette “The Truth” Ewell and Laura “Lady Ram” Ramsey for the vacant World Boxing Council Silver Heavyweight Championship on June 18 will be a historic day in the world of boxing.

The fight will mark the first time a mother and son will fight on the same card, with the mother serving as the promoter as well.

The fight will take place at the Benton Convention Center and the doors open at 7 p.m., with bell time at 8 p.m.

Carlette Ewell

Ewell was born and raised in Winston-Salem and graduated from R.J. Reynolds High School. She has been a world champion in three separate weight classes and is the current Universal Boxing Council and Universal National Boxing Council Heavyweight Champion.

She met her boxing trainer Eddie Gregg in 1999 while she was working in a supermarket. With Gregg being a former champion, he invited Ewell to come to the gym and work out. Ewell showed immediate potential and soon began to compete and win Toughwoman competitions the following year.

“What I first saw in her was she was eager to learn and she was probably a tough girl,” said Gregg. “My style of training is hard and tough, and I asked her was she tough enough and she said ‘Yes.’ I just wanted to instill some of my boxing values into her, and so far she has pretty much passed the test.” And when asked what his prediction for the fight was, Gregg said, “She should beat her, but I would like for her to stop her, so we will work on a few things such as throwing more punches and more movement.”

Ewell made her pro debut on April 20, 2002. She won the fight with Denise Grant by a second round TKO and knew this was the sport for her. She earned her nickname from boxing legend Carl “The Truth” Williams, who saw

Admiration for Muhammad Ali reaches into W-S

BY TIMOTHY RAMSEY THE CHRONICLE

Although Muhammad Ali, born Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr., passed away on Friday, June 3 in Scottsdale, Arizona, his legacy lives on.

“For me Ali was a true leader to the sport of boxing,” said Carlette Ewell, Winston-Salem native and female boxing champion. “He always made it known that he was the greatest before others thought so. He also believed in himself even if other doubted him.”

Ali's bravado and supreme confidence in the ring had a direct influence on boxers that followed him. He opened the door for fighters such as Pernell Whitaker, Roy Jones Jr. and of course Floyd Mayweather Jr., who all had a cocky flare to their styles.

“Ali was extremely arrogant but with his arrogance came smarts and the grit to destroy his opponent because he just did not want to lose.” Ewell said.

MUHAMMAD ALI 1942-2016

Quick feet, sharp reflexes, and a devastating jab were staples of Ali's repertoire.

Trainers studied it and attempted to teach their fighters the importance of these qualities.

“I learned of Ali from my father because he was a professional trainer and he had the opportunity to meet him. Some of the fighters my father trained actually sparred against Ali, so that’s how my father came to know him,” said Louis Lowery Jr. of the 14th Street Recreation Center. Lowery's father, Louis Lowery Sr., was a boxing trainer at 14th Street, and trained heavyweight champions such as Oliver McCall and Tim Witherspoon.

Ali was quite possibly the most recognized athlete in the world. He may have been best known for his long-term battle against Parkinson's disease, which inevitably contributed to his death, as well as his publicized stance against the Vietnam War. “I was sad when I heard he passed, but I wasn't shocked because I knew what he

was dealing with,” Lowery said. “Even without having Parkinson's, you see many fighters who don't make it as long as he did because you take a lot of punishment in boxing. He was still a fighter and he fought all the way until the end.”

Ewell and Lowery both said they most admired Ali because he stood up for what he believed in and did not waver even when faced with the possibility of prison and significant scrutiny from the American public.

“He was a firm believer that everyone was equal and everyone deserved to be treated as such. He fought for that, and it’s God’s will, and he was willing to stand for that. Some are not willing to suffer the repercussions, but he did. That's what I most appreciated about him outside of the ring,” said Lowery.

Born on Jan. 17, 1942 in Louisville, Kentucky, Cassius Clay took to boxing with ease, winning two Golden Glove titles by age 18. At 6-foot-3-inches tall, Clay went on to win the light heavyweight

gold medal in the 1960 Summer Olympics. At age 22, he defeated the menacing Sonny Liston to win the heavyweight title, and after the fight said, “I am the greatest.”

He converted to Islam in 1964 and changed his name. He refused induction into the U.S. Armed Forces in 1967 and was stripped of his title. He was reinstated to box in 1970, and later reclaimed the title two more times, becoming the first threetime heavyweight champion. His fight trilogy with Joe Frazier and the “Rumble in the Jungle” against George Foreman will go down in boxing history as some of the greatest battles of all time.

Following his historic career inside of the ring, Ali's biggest impact came outside of it by inspiring people all over the world with his humanitarian efforts, charitable deeds and even lighting the cauldron during the opening ceremonies of the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta.

“Winning this scholarship was great because it was somewhat difficult for me to receive any,” Huntley said. “This is the first scholarship that I have received, so it was very important to me.

Huntley said he reached out to the Winston-Salem Foundation and they linked him with the Bruce Shelton Scholarship. He competed with nominees from eight other high schools in the area for the scholarship, valued at $4,000, and after an interview he was named the winner.

Huntley is well liked by

both students and faculty around Atkins.

“I have known him for three years, and he is a very mature young man,” said Corinne Jenkins, media coordinator at Atkins.

“People really like him, and anything he does, he puts his all into, and that's impressive in a teenager. I don't know what he wants

to do when he grows up, but I know he will be great in whatever it is.”

First year head basketball coach Marlon Brim said he was very proud of Huntley's achievements.

“He is a great kid and great student, and he was our leader on the court,” said Brim. “I will miss everything about him. I

have only coached him one year, but his mannerisms on and off the court, coachability, and willingness to be good are some of his best attributes. The future is as bright as he wants it to be, and in the next four to six years he will be doing some great things.”

Huntley did have some looks from a few Division

II and Division III universities, but he stated he wanted to attend UNC-Charlotte and focus on his academics and maybe walk on to the team. Upon graduation, he would love to work for Davenport, an engineering and consulting firm. He currently has an internship set up with the company.

her fight and said she could use the name. Her current record is 16 wins, 8 losses, and 1 draw with 9 victories coming by way of KO. Her last victory was against Ramsey.

Ewell first defeated Ramsey on May 23, 2015, by a unanimous decision, and according to Ewell, the decision was somewhat disputed by Ramsey, so this time she wants to leave no doubt. Ramsey is from Lakeland, Florida, and currently lives and trains out of Orlando, where she has recently opened a gym. Ramsey currently holds a record of 10 wins and 6 losses with 5 KOs. Edward “E.J.” Hood, Ewell’s son, will be competing in his first professional bout against Albert Wade of

Wilson, N.C., later on the night of June 18. Hood attended North Forsyth High School, where he played football under head coach Pete Gilcrest and was a standout wrestler. He was introduced to boxing at the tender age of 5 by his mother and held an amateur record of 8-1-1 with one disqualification.

Hood stated that he likes the discipline aspect of boxing most of all. When asked about his nerves before his bout, he said, “If you’re not nervous beforehand, you shouldn't play, and as long as your heart is in it, you should be good.”

Trainer Danny Akers said, “I heard a lot about her and seen her fight a couple times and she really had talent and she needed to take that extra step. With me and Eddie working with her, she can do it.

“We fought this girl once before in High Point, and

Carlette pulled out a very good victory. This time, she will knock her out. I’m predicting that.”

The fight card will be a mix of male and female boxers spanning all weight classes.

According to Ewell, she carries a lot of responsibility of being promoter and boxer in the same event. She will also work the corner of her son’s heavyweight bout that night as well. She stated that she was forced into this role because of the lack of promoters willing to work with her.

She decided to take matters into her own hands.

“I have a lioness roaring inside that I’m doing everything to contain, so on that night, I promise you it’s all going to come out,” said Ewell.

She will also be inducted into the Boxing Legends R Hall of Fame on fight night but will not be able to attend the ceremony in Myrtle Beach, S.C.

revived Parkland cheerleading squad wins in competition Visit Our New Website www.WSChronicle.com

By TiMoThy rAMSey The ChroniCle

The Parkland Magnet high School cheerleading squad had not competed in a competition in 12 years.

So to take home first place in the non-stunt/non-tumble Division and second overall in the national Stomp and Shake competition, organized by Powerhouse Spirit Competitions, was a dream come true.

Second year head coach JaMeka Price said she was asked to enter her squad into the competition in november 2015. She initially refused because she didn't feel as though her girls were ready.

After receiving phone calls from event organizers who insisted she enter as well as the progression of her girls, she relented and entered her team. “it was wonderful to win first place in our division and second overall,” Price said. “it was a feat in itself to come from 12 years of not competing in cheerleading. To get a group of girls that were determined and dedicated, the coaching staff was very

T h e C h r on i C le

happy.”

Before the competition, the coaching staff and team came up with solid routine they felt they could perform well. After losing a few of her girls throughout the year, coach Price decided to enter the girls into the non-stunt/non-tumble division, as she thought it gave them the best chance to win. Changes to the routine were added all the way up until the week of the competition, which took place on March 19. Price and assistant coach ebone Foster were confident that the girls would pick up the new material very quickly.

Teams from across north Carolina as well as virginia were present at the competition, and Parkland bested them all in their division. According to Foster, the girls stuck it out and left everything they had out on the floor and said they “left her in tears.” “it feels amazing to win the competition because we worked so hard,” said cocaptain Jewel Moser. “i knew that we were gonna do well, but i didn't know if we would win. i was a bit nervous to see the size of

the crowd and all of the people that were there, but i was more excited than anything else.”

Fellow co-captain hosanna Dean said, “it was a relief because at first we didn't think we were ready. once we were on the floor, we hit it and left our heart out there. We had never done it before, so it was a new thing to us and the school, and for us to win first time out was great” Foster stated she is most proud of the girls for putting forth the extra effort outside of the regular cheer season. She was also amazed the girls even competed after losing teammates so close to the competition.

“They never gave up, and they kept pushing,” said Price. “even when we pushed them past where they felt comfortable, they kept going. She stated her outlook for next year is simply “bigger and better” and thinks that not only can they win their division next year they can take home the overall title.

Church holds domestic violence seminar to heighten awareness

By TimoThy RamSey The ChRoniCle

Domestic Violence in this country has been swept under the rug for far too long. Victims are afraid to speak out in fear of retribution from their abusers. abusers, afraid of others in the community becoming aware of their deplorable acts, are refusing to seek help.

To help give a voice to those who cannot speak out and bring awareness to the warning signs, Praise assembly Church ministries inc. held a domestic violence seminar on Saturday, June 4.

The facilitator, Kenyetta

Richmond of Family Service inc., delivered information on things to look out for, as well as ways to help those who are dealing with this issue.

Family Services works collaboratively with government, education and other nonprofit organizations and residents to solve our community's complex social problems, according to the website. They also offer a multitude of programs such as childhood development, family violence, sexual assault, counseling and pregnancy/adoption. heightened awareness to this problem is seen as a necessity.

“Domestic violence is one of

those issues that's not spoken enough in our community or our churches until something happens and then it comes to the attention of everyone,” said Dr. Johnny york, Praise assembly's pastor. “i think we can be proactive and get the information and the knowledge out and allow resources to be available for individuals who are victims of domestic violence. We felt an obligation to the community to sponsor this initial program.” last year, two members of Praise assembly were involved in a domestic dispute that resulted in death for See Domestic on B6

Gospel celebration benefits W-S Ronald McDonald House

By TimoThy RamSey The ChRoniCle

The 2016 mcDonald’s inspiration Celebration tour made its annual stop in the Triad. Thursday, June 2, the Triad community was blessed with the opportunity to hear some of the most well known gospel artists in the industry.

The concert, which took place in Greensboro at mt. Zion Baptist Church, was held to raise funds for the Ronald mcDonald house of Winston-Salem.

The show was free to the public and only a small offering for those who could help was asked of those in attendance. over $10,500 was collected last Thursday.

Returning acts such as the legendary Donald lawrence, lonnie hunter, and comedienne Small Fire, were joined by Pastor Charles Jenkins, Christian rap sensation Canton Jones, gospel crooner Jonathan mcReynolds, Doug Williams of the famed Williams Brothers, and recording artist Jo Jo

“During the tour we have raised over $350,000 up to this date and to be a

part of that and be able to give God the glory is truly a blessing,” said hunter. “it’s a tour with a purpose and there are children out there who could not get here, but feel the results of what we did here tonight.”

God is faithful to that fact and demonstrates it for Judah in surrounding nations. in Philistia where he promised that the coastlands inhabited by people would be made a pasture for flocks. he judged the descendants of lot, moab and ammon for mistreating his people and humbled them.

able to beat it. He said he was even told by multiple doctors he was lucky to be alive.“It was a favor of God that I got the call to be a part of this tour,” Williams said. “The people are being blessed so much when they come out to these concerts and you can see it with the reaction of the people.”

The tour, which will make stops in 13 cities nationwide, looks to bring awareness to the Ronald McDonald house and the important role it plays in helping families have the ability to stay close to their children who require medical attention.

“Anytime someone is doing something for charity it is great,” said Lawrence. “I know some people who have benefited from the Ronald McDonald House. It’s great that McDonald’s and Faith Based Communications is sponsoring a great tour so the community can come out and donate and see how beneficial the Ronald McDonald House really is.”

“We are on the corner, but we are in the community also,” said James Smith, a local Triad McDonald’s

Throughout the June 4 seminar, Richmond recounted countless stories of women and children who have been victimized and the trauma they have had to live through.

According to Richmond, most domestic violence victims do not reach out for help, and the average victim attempts to leave an abusive relationship seven times before they actually do. Domestic abuse typically arises in four forms; physical, psychological, sexual and financial. Many people only associate it with the physical form.

Men are not immune to domestic abuse, either.

Most of the abuse on men is not physical but is typically emotional or verbal.

Men are less likely to report such acts because of the negative stigma that is

Lesson from page B5

The destruction of other nations didn’t sway Judah at all. They didn’t believe God would do the same to them, after all they were “chosen.”

God really didn’t want to strike Judah or destroy it, but the people just did not take heed.

They continued in their sins and even rose early in the morning expressly to participate in sin. They were given an opportunity to repent, to choose the Lord’s instruction and cor-

owner. “We support everything they can think of, from the schools, the churches, and community organizations. We are not about a lot of words, we are about action and this is an action to help the Ronald McDonald House.”

The Ronald McDonald House of Winston-Salem is a 35-bedroom facility with private baths for each room, full service kitchen, living rooms, play rooms, televisions, and playground for healthy siblings. The house is a safe haven for families with children in treatment who cannot afford to stay in a hotel.

The charity only asks a $10 a night donation for those who can pay, but many families cannot due to hospital costs.

“It puts their mind at ease and we try to remove as many barriers as possible,” said Chuck Kraft, executive director of the Ronald McDonald house of Winston Salem. “My hope is that everyone here gets to enjoy some beautiful music and moved by the spirit of the Lord.

Everyone here is doing their little part and they are helping people in the community.”

During the show, a young child by the name of “Baby Israel” was highlighted to show the impact

attached to men who report such crimes. Many times they are looked upon as being weak or docile so they just endure it.

A question and answer session followed the seminar. It allowed audience members to obtain additional information and share stories of the abuse they suffered in the past.

An audience member who wished to remain nameless said, “For me as a child, I internalized the abuse I saw and heard my mother endure, and because of that, I suffered with anxiety. I grew up with low self-esteem and constantly thinking that I was going to be a victim. It impacted all of us because my brothers grew up to be abusers, so the children are victims whether they are being touched or not.”

“As a victim of domestic violence, it affected me in terms of my parenting and my ability to enter into a healthy relationship. It

rections, but their choice was to continue in their sinful ways. After having been rejected by Judah, the Lord promised to “gather the kingdoms of the earth” and issue complete destruction (Zeph. 3:8). Judah has not only disregarded God’s warnings, they did an “in your face” to Him with their early rising to do evil.

Judah basically asked for judgment.

For Your Consideration: How are we today much like Judah in the Bible days? How does God correct people today?

that everyone's donations have on a family. Baby Israel was born three months prematurely and weighed only one pound at birth. Her family was able to stay at the Ronald McDonald house for over 200 days while she gained enough strength to make it home. She is now eight months old and doing well.

The concert was a big success and everyone in attendance seemed to enjoy themselves, from the young children to the elderly.

Shavon Tates of Greensboro said, “The concert was phenomenal and there was something for everyone. Some of my favorite artists were here, so I was in heaven.”

Adara Johnson of Greensboro said, “I enjoyed the different levels of Gospel music. It shows that not only can the older generation celebrate God in their way, but the younger generation can as well.”

“The tour is pretty amazing and I hope it continues to be sustained and goes to a greater level,” said singer John McReynolds. also allowed others to control my life and rob me of my voice,” said Marva J. Edwards.

Advice for individuals who may be dealing with domestic violence from those who have lived through it was offered from those in attendance as well.

“At all costs reach out for help and know that you are not alone and there are others who are going through the same thing,” Edwards said. “There are many resources to help a victim to help her reclaim her voice and live a happy life.”

Life’s Application: The people of Judah in Zephaniah’s time didn’t have the Holy Spirit to guide them because the comforter had not been sent. We, however, do have the Holy Spirit available to us as a guide and He is constantly speaking to us, whether we choose to listen is up to each individual. But if we allow the Holy Spirit to guide us and read the word of God regularly, He will guide our footsteps and direct our paths. Judah chose destruction … we don’t have to.

Atkins High School continues Scholastic Cup winning tradition

BY SCOTT PLASTER WSFCSCHOOLS. BLOGSPOT.COM

In academics, there’s an actual award given by the NC Association of Scholastic Activities (NCASA) for the school that has the best year in academic competitions at the state level.

For the year 2015-16, Atkins High School in Winston-Salem was that dominating school, winning the NCASA Scholastic Cup award by over 300 points and repeating as champions in the 1A small-school division.

“I am excited that our school has won this award for the second consecutive year,” said Atkins Principal Joe Childers. “I believe this validates all of the outstanding after-school academic programs at Atkins.

Students and teachers are extremely motivated to be the best, and I believe it shows.”

Schools striving for the Scholastic Cup compete in a range of seventeen competitions that span nearly every aspect of the school curriculum, from math and science all the way to the

arts and dance. According to NCASA Executive Director Leon Pfeiffer, ”Atkins also earned Top Ten points in 12 competitions, also more than any other high school.” Top finishes for academic teams this year for Atkins were “HS Large Chapter of the Year” honors at the state TSA conference and state championship runner-up finishes in NCASA Art Showcase and at the NC Chess tournament. Atkins also had an individual category state champion with student Ryan Holmes in the Quill, and the school earned a state champion certificate for one of its Cyberpatriot teams.

“Having such a comprehensive scholastic program is both a blessing and a challenge,” said Atkins Scholastic Director Scott Plaster. “Many of the teams at Atkins grew larger this year, and we also added several teams. Sustaining growth and maintaining success will take dedication and focus as we head into next year.”

The NCASA Scholastic Cup competitions are not even the full scope of the scholastic program at

Atkins, which also fields academic teams in 13 other areas that are not associated with NCASA, such as HOSA, JLAB, and arts and music programs. Atkins teacher Kevin Hamilton coached some of Atkins’ most talented students this year, fielding teams for the NCASA Twelve and Quiz Bowl, but also the local Winston-Salem Forsyth County Academic Team.

“The team then ended up repeating as district champion when they beat Reagan in a thrilling comefrom-behind win in the championship match,” said Coach Kevin Hamilton.

Arel D’Agostino competes in multiple academic competitions at Atkins. “I really love that at Atkins, students have so many opportunities to compete and excel,” he said.

Students are so actively involved at Atkins that sometimes they end up double (or even triple) booked as they qualify for regional and state competitions, coupled with juggling their sports team schedules, family commitments, and academic course work. “It’s definitely a cultural change in the

building that makes this type of student involvement possible,” said Principal Childers. “It wasn’t always like this here at Atkins. We literally started with just three competitions and built everything from there,” he said.

Curriculum Coordinator Sonya Rexrode attributes the high student involvement to the school’s unique academic environment. “At Atkins, our students are encouraged to excel and are not afraid to try new things and take risks,” said Rexrode.

This type of cultural change is what it takes to make Atkins the dominating force it is in the area of scholastics. Winning the NCASA Scholastic Cup earns Atkins the right to call itself “The Premier Small School in the State of NC.” Just as in its heyday of the Atkins Camels of the 1940s and ‘50s, the “new” Atkins has maintained its tradition of winning.

Hospice of Davidson County honored as an Elite Recipient

by leading home health analytics

SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE

LEXINGTON– Hospice of Davidson County, a recognized leader in the advancement of quality end-of-life care across the Piedmont Triad region, has been named a 2016 Hospice Honors Elite recipient by Deyta Analytics, a division of HEALTHCAREfirst, the leading provider of Webbased home health and hospice software, outsourced billing and coding services, and advanced analytics.

Hospice Honors Elite is a prestigious program that recognizes hospices providing the highest level of quality as measured from the caregiver’s point of view. Hospice of Davidson County is the only Hospice Honors Elite recipient serving patients in the Piedmont Triad community and one of just 57 Elite

as to the quality of care the hospice agency provides.

Now’s the time to prepare for hurricane season T H E C H R ON I C LE

B12 JUNE 9, 2016

SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE

Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Emergency Management is encouraging residents to plan now for hurricane season by updating their emergency plans and supply kits.

Hurricane season officially began June 1 and runs through November.

Emergency Management Director Melton Sadler is urging residents to prepare before storms strike.

“Take the time now to discuss your emergency plans and assemble a supply kit,” Sadler said. “You will have peace of mind and be better prepared to survive a storm and recover from it.”

Plans should include where to go and what to do if a hurricane strikes, and make provisions for those under someone's care

who are unable to help themselves.

Emergency supply kits should contain enough non-perishable food and a gallon of water per person per day to last three to seven days. Other essential items include: *Copies of insurance papers and identification sealed in a watertight plastic bag *First-aid kit

*Weather radio and batteries

*Supply of prescription medicines *Sleeping bag or blankets *Changes of clothes

*Hygiene items such as toothbrush, toothpaste, soap and deodorant

Visit Our New Website www.WSChronicle.com

*Pet supplies including food, water, leashes, bedding, muzzle and vaccination records

“It’s critical that people prepare for emergencies before a storm hits” Sadler said. “During those first few days, you may be on your own until responders can reach you or until essential utilities can be restored.”

Residents should review and update their homeowners’ or renters’ insurance policies to make sure they include coverage for accidental damage, natural disasters and, if necessary, flood insurance.

People should stay informed during a storm by keeping a battery-powered radio for weather and evacuation information and should know various evacuation routes into and out of their neighborhoods.

They also need to heed the warnings of state and local officials and evacuate quickly when told to do so.

Residents can evacuate their homes

with their small, domestic pets to specially designated pet-friendly shelters. Pet shelters will be equipped with pet crates, but people should bring feeding dishes, food and water, immunization papers and other pet supplies.

“Forsyth County is better prepared today than years ago, but it’s not immune to the many ways a storm can impact a community,” Sadler said. “Do not presume that a lower-category storm will not impact our area. It only takes one storm to cause flooding and storm surge, which are the most dangerous threats from a hurricane or tropical storm.”

More information on hurricanes and overall emergency preparedness can be found on the ReadyNC mobile app and online at ReadyNC.org or ReadyForsyth.org.

Emergency Management also posts updated information on its ReadyForsyth Facebook page.

Hanes art exhibition to feature works by Rembrandt, Picasso and other master artists SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE

Masterpieces by internationally known Renaissance, modern, and contemporary artists and printmakers, such as Salvador Rosa, Rembrandt van Rijn, Romare Bearden, Pablo Picasso, and Robert Rauschenberg, will be part of an exhibition on display from June 10-September 20, 2016, at The Diggs Gallery of WinstonSalem State University. An opening reception will be held from 5:30-7:30 p.m. on Friday, June 10, at the gallery.

The exhibition, “A Legacy Reunited: The Gordon and Copey Hanes Print Collection,” co-curated by Diggs Gallery Director Endia Beal and Assistant Professor of Art History Lisandra Estevez, is a collaboration between The Diggs Gallery and Salem Academy and College that unites pieces donated to each school by the Hanes family.

“As extraordinary patrons of the arts,

*Cash or checkbook

the Hanes family’s contributions form the core of the permanent collections at The Diggs Gallery and Salem College,” said Endia Beal, director of The Diggs Gallery.

“This exhibition displays the vision and the dedication of the Hanes family and embraces the Hanes’ vision of the arts as a vital and instrumental tool in community building and engagement in WinstonSalem.”

In addition to the exhibition, WinstonSalem State University and Salem Academy and College are partnering on outreach projects designed to engage, educate, and inspire community members.

Summer school students from the Ken Carlson Boys and Girls club will join the Diggs Gallery for a two-day printmaking workshop taught by Salem Academy and College instructor Kim Varnadoe.

The exhibition is made possible thanks to a grant from the James G. Hanes Memorial Fund.
