N.C. PRIMARY

By Todd LuCk The ChroniCLe

Tuesday primary results largely went as expected but there were some surprises in local races.

There was a surprising squeaker in the South Ward race to replace City Council Member Molly Leight, who is not running for re-election. Leight endorsed John Larson, vice president of restoration at old Salem Museum and Gardens, as her success o r . however, he had stiff competition from Carolyn highsmith, president of the konnoak hills Community Association. highsmith pulled an upset by only four votes, according to unofficial results from Tuesday night.

“Today we’ll start a process of examining the possibility of a recount,” Larson said Wednesday morning.

According to Forsyth County Board of elections director Tim Tsujii, the board is still receiving absentee ballots and researching provisional ballots. on Tuesday, there will be a canvas to examine the votes in the primary and ensure the authenticity of the vote total. After final official results are determined during the canvas, candidates have one business day to file for a recount. The official winner will face republican Michael Tyler in the general election. highsmith said she was pleased with the results and hopes that she comes out as the official winner. She said her message that she could better represent the ward resonated and her campaign has been working non-stop for months to pull out a win.

“We thought it be sheer hard work to see if we can pull this off and we put everything into it,” highsmith said.

Another surprise was in the race for Forsyth County register of deeds, where challenger Lynne Johnson, a former register of deeds employee, had a decisive victory over current office holder norman holleman. She’ll face republican Challenger Steve Wood of Pfafftown in november. other races followed expectations and polls. Mayor Pro Tempore Vivian Burke, who has served on the City Council since 1977, won her primary and, without a republican challenger, has secured her 11th term.

“The citizens spoke,” said Burke. “The northeast Ward citizens are satisfied. They know that i have a lot of energy, wisdom.”

Burke won decisively against her opponent keith king, owner of kingz downTown Market. “obviously, i was disappointed in the turnout,” he said, but added. “We’re not done yet. We’ll be back again.”

Besides Johnson, another AfricanAmerican political newcomer won his primary race. dan Blue iii, son of n.C. Senate Minority Leader dan Blue Jr., won his race for state treasurer.

Also, Linda Coleman, an AfricanAmerican, again won her primary race for lieutenant governor.

Less than 12 hours after reports surfaced that darryl hunt was found dead inside a vehicle in the 2800 block of university Parkway, nearly 200 residents came together Sunday evening, March 13, to celebrate his life.

According to public records, dr. Larry Little contacted the Winston-Salem Police department for assistance in locating hunt, who was last seen nine days earlier in the Garfield Court area. Just after 12 a.m. on Sunday, officers found hunt unresponsive inside a 1999 white Ford truck in a parking lot near the Lawrence Joel Veterans Coliseum. hunt appeared to have died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, police said Wednesday. The Criminal investigations division has assumed the investigation and will be releasing more information as the investigation progresses. during Monday night’s City Council meeting, City Council Member dan Besse spoke about hunt’s passing, saying the city has lost a community leader.

Staff members Luck and Tevin Stinson, photography intern Erin Mizelle and freelancer Tori P. Haynesworth as well as Managing Editor Donna Rogers contributed to the award-winning issues.

Ron Rogers and Luck won their award for The Chronicle’s issues that covered the 2015 National Black Theatre Festival: Aug. 6 and 13, 2015.

Forsyth County health officials confirm first Zika travel-related case SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE

The Forsyth County Department of Public Health (FCDPH) last week confirmed the first case of Zika virus infection in a Forsyth County patient who had recently travelled to a country with ongoing Zika virus transmission.

To protect patient confidentiality, no additional details on this patient will be provided.

“The FCDPH is working closely with North Carolina Division of Public Health, providers and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to help with diagnosis testing in persons returning from areas with active mosquito-borne transmission of the Zika virus,” said Marlon Hunter, Health Director.

At this time, no cases of the disease are known to have been acquired in Forsyth County or elsewhere in North Carolina.

As of March 9, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported five travel-related Zika virus infections in North Carolina. Forsyth County Health Department is home to one of several Vector Control Programs across the state and has already started its regular mosquito control activities around the county.

Zika virus is transmitted through the bite of an infectious mosquito, although cases of transmission through sexual contact and blood transfusion have also been reported. Symptoms can include rash, red eyes, fever and joint pain. Only about one in five people infected with Zika virus will show symptoms.

“Compelling coverage on the Charleston Massacre. Appropriate quotes and outstanding supporting photos. Well done!” the judges said.

A pregnant woman infected with Zika virus can pass the virus to her unborn baby. A serious birth defect of the brain called microcephaly and other adverse pregnancy outcomes have been reported in some infants born to mothers who were infected with Zika virus while pregnant. FCDPH is in constant communication with health providers, including obstetricians and gynecologists, to ensure they have the latest information, as well as access to guidance and testing from state health officials.

While the primary mosquitoes that carry Zika virus are not believed to be widespread in North Carolina, individuals are always encouraged, as a routine precaution, to take steps to prevent mosquito bites, such as: *Eliminating potential breeding sites in their own yards on a weekly basis: draining water from garbage cans, house gutters, pool covers, coolers, toys, flower pots or any other container where sprinkler or rain water has collected. *Discarding any items, however small, that may collect water. Remember to clean bird baths and pet water bowls twice a week. *Wearing shoes, socks, long pants and long sleeves, and apply mosquito repellent to bare skin and clothing. *Always use an EPA registered insect repellent according to the label. Repellents with DEET, picardin, oil of lemon eucalyptus, and IR3535 are effective.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has issued a travel advisory recommending pregnant women consider postponing travel to any area with active Zika virus transmission. Women who are trying to become

pregnant should talk to their doctors about the risk of Zika virus infection before traveling.

For additional information about Zika, visit http://www.forsyth.cc/PublicHealth/ or call Forsyth County Department of Public Health-Division of Environmental Health at 336-703-3225.

Parmon

from page A1

”Earline Parmon was the true definition of a public servant,” said Adams.

“She dedicated her life to fighting for justice and fighting for our communities.”

Parmon was also an educator and school principal, founding the nowdefunct LIFT Academy, working with minority and at-risk youth. She was also an associate minister at Exodus United Baptist Church.

Parmon’s spiritual adviser, Exodus United Baptist Church Pastor Alvin Carlisle said, “Minister Parmon was a force to be reckoned with.

She may have been small in stature, but she was a powerhouse who loved The Lord!”

Parmon was the first vice president of the Winston-Salem NAACP branch. Local NAACP

President Isaac “Ike” Howard said she was a fearless grassroots leader who was mentored by the late Velma Hopkins, an organizer with the Local 22 tobacco workers labor union. He said Parmon was dedicated to helping the unrecognized, unrepresented and neglected. He said it will be hard for anyone to fill the void she leaves.

“We don’t grow that kind anymore,” he said.

Former N.C. Rep. Larry Womble knew Parmon for 40 years and the two became inseparable colleagues as representatives. He said WinstonSalem has lost a hero who loved her city. He said he was impressed by her loyalty, dedication, commitment and humor.

“She lived her life, especially as a legislator, as an example,” he said. “I hope the ones that are coming along now can use her activism and her commitment and her involvement as a model to go by. You

can’t replace her, but we have young people who can certainly emulate that.”

Sometimes called “the dynamic duo,” Parmon and Womble championed various pieces of legislation together. This included passing compensation for victims of the state’s eugenics sterilization program and the Racial Justice Act, which let those on death row appeal for a lesser sentence if they believe race was involved in their sentencing. The RJA was later repealed by the Republican-majority General Assembly.

N.C. Sen. Paul Lowe, who replaced Parmon

when he was appointed to the 32nd District Senate seat in 2015, also said Parmon left a great legislative legacy.

“Senator Parmon was always concerned about helping people, the disenfranchised and those who did not have a voice,” he said. “During her tenure in the legislature, she fought fervently for the less-fortunate in our county and state. She will be missed by many.”

Parmon was married for more than 47 years to Albert Parmon, who passed away in 2014. The couple had many children and grandchildren.

The Man with Anointed Hands Carl Russell, Jr. of Russell Funeral Home passed T H E C H R ON I C LE

Visit Our New Website www.WSChronicle.com

BY TODD LUCK THE CHRONICLE

Carl Russell, Jr., known for his decades of serving families at Russell Funeral Home, was remembered at a service held at St. Peter’s World Outreach Center on Friday March 10.

Hundreds attended the funeral service for Russell, 70, who passed away on Friday, March 6. He was a master embalmer at Russell Funeral Home. His father, Carl Russell Sr., founded the funeral home in 1939 and also served as a city alderman. His mother, Florrie S. Russell, took over leadership of the funeral home after her husband passed in 1987 and continued to run it until she passed in 1997. Russell, Jr. has ten siblings who grew up in the family business, which also at one time provided ambulance service to the city. He was one of several members of the Russell clan who work at the funeral home, which is

now run by his brother Cedric and sister, Carmen.

Mayor Pro Tempore Vivian Burke said Russell, Jr. and his siblings have made their parents proud carrying on their family’s legacy in the funeral business. She said even from a young age, Russell Jr. had “a mind to stimulate, cultivate and motivate people.”

“Carl walked in such a strong way and if he pulled you aside, he only wanted you to be aware that you need to be moving forward,” she said.

Russell, Jr., an Atkins High School alumnus, went to college at his father’s alma mater, Johnson C. Smith University in Charlotte, and Cincinnati College of Mortuary Science in Ohio.

He was employed by the Wake Forest Baptist Health Autopsy Department for years. His skills played a vital role in the family funeral business.

“Carl was the best,”

said Cedric Russell. “He didn’t mind letting you know he was the best. He said he could take someone hit by a train and make them look like they died in their sleep.”

He said Russell, Jr. had good reason to take pride in what he did, and was very dedicated to serving families during their time of bereavement.

“He truly had anointed hands,” said Cedric Russell. “He’d go into the preparation room, he’d study the situation, he’d stay for hours if it took that because that’s how dedicated he was.”

A member of the National Funeral Directors Association and the N.C. Funeral Directors Association, he was well respected among his colleagues in the funeral industry, many of whom were in attendance. Rep. Alma Adams, N.C. Rep. Paul Lowe, and the city of Atlanta, Ga. all sent condo-

lences.

Rev. Steven Lyons of St. James A.M.E. Church, where Russell, Jr. was a lifelong member, said though people may think of limousines, hearses, caskets and staff dressed in nice suits when it comes to funerals, he said the embalming work that went on in “Carl’s Preparation Room” was the most important part of the funeral home.

“I believe Carl Russell gave his gift back to God and God blessed him to use that gift all the more,” said Lyons.

Russell, Jr. was a former member of Ionic Lodge #72, a neighborhood watchman at Northwood Estate and an inductee in the Atkins High School Hall of Fame. He is survived by his wife Sandra R. Imes-Russell, his six children, many grandchildren and great-grandchildren, along with many siblings and other relatives.

McDonald noted Page’s heart weighed 650 grams much larger than a normal healthy hart. It is believed that health issues and the act of the physical restraint may have been the cause.

Officers battle growing heroin issue in W-S

BY TEVIN STINSON THE CHRONICLE

In recent years the number of people dying from heroin and opiate has increased throughout the Triad. In Forsyth County between 2013 and 2014 the number of heroin deaths jumped from just nine to 21.

Although The Chronicle was unable to receive the number of deaths for 2015 during the monthly public safety news conference on Wednesday, March 9, members of the Winston-Salem Police said numbers are steadily increasing. Reports indicate that in 2016, Forsyth County EMT’s have already responded to over 100 overdose calls.

In an attempt to combat the growing issue, the police throughout the city are using a new tool to keep people alive.

According to Lt. William Penn, officers have been using a drug called Narcan since late last year to reverse the effects of overdoses. Penn mentioned that using Narcan or Naloxone helps respiratory issues and other problems associated with overdosing.

Since September police has have used the drug seven times in order to save someone’s life.

“I’m not able to go into detail about the cases, but Narcan has saved lives,” Penn continued. “The life of those in medical need take precedent over these minor criminal acts.”

Penn also mentioned the Good Samaritan law which ensures that people won’t get prosecuted for minor drug offenses if they call 911 in response to an overdose incident. Penn said people might not call for help when someone is suffering a drug overdose because they fear prosecution.

“As you might imagine, the successful use of Naloxone was possible due to residents calling first responders in a quick manner,” he said. “We don’t want people to hesitate to seek assistance for those in need for fear of prosecution.”

Chief Barry Rountree said as an agency, the WSPD will do anything they can to protect the public and also save lives when they have the opportunity.

doing their job, but we also want to address the issues,” he continued. “Why it is so difficult for you to do the job that taxpayers are paying you to do.”

“It should not have been this hard to have the footage released. This man died in your custody and we deserve to know what happened.”

According to Fulton and other members of the conference, they will hold an official news conference later this month to address the footage.

WS/FCS addresses remaining priority schools T H E C H R ON I C LE

A4 MARCH 17, 2016

BY TEVIN STINSON THE CHRONICLE

Teachers and administrators at ten schools in the Winston-Salem/Forsyth County School System are still waiting for answers on what new education model will be implemented at their schools next year.

Last year the federal government notified Superintendent Beverly Emory that 11 schools in the district made the list of schools in need of reform. According to chief academic officer Kenneth Simington, the “priority school” designation means a new reform model must be implemented at the school.

The Chronicle reported that the school board decided to implement the federal government’s restart model at Cook

Elementary, which means it will operate with a new principal, new staff and new instructional model. The school, which will become Cook Literacy Model School in August, is the only school that will operate under the restart model.

Earlier this week Paula Wilkins was named the new principal at Cook.

While Cook seems to be well on its way to reformation, not much has been said about the other ten priority schools in the district. President of the Forsyth County Association of Educators Rhonda Gordon said her phone rings non-stop with calls from teachers with questions about their futures.

“The only thing I can tell them is Cook is the only restart school and no school will be closing,” said Gordon. “But beyond that, I don’t know what to tell

Visit Our New Website www.WSChronicle.com

them.”

Gordon mentioned teachers and other staff members have questions about what the priority school designation means, and if they will keep their jobs next year. She said a number of parents have expressed their concerns as well.

“Students, teachers, and families need to know,” Gordon said.

During the school board meeting on Tuesday, March 8, Emory and other administrators addressed the other ten priority schools and the future of staff members. Emory said any teacher who would not be returning next year has already been notified.

“Early February was the deadline,” said Emory. “So anyone who there is a concern about, they should already know that. There shouldn’t be anyone in March

with concerns about their performance. “ According to Simington, the remaining priority schools will implement either the turnaround or transformation models.

The turnaround model brings back no more than 50 percent of the current staff and replaces the principal. The transformation doesn’t require any staff changes, but does replace the principal.

Emory said the board has not announced the models for the remaining priority schools because they wanted to give schools enough time to improve in troubled areas. She did mention that the board has set a deadline for early next month.

“We wanted to let performance drive these models,” she said. “We didn’t want to pick a model that didn’t align with what’s going on in that school.”

WS/FCS names leadership for Cook Literacy Model School SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE

Paula Wilkins and Constance Hash will lead Cook Literacy Model School as the school is restarted with a focus on literacy. Wilkins will be the school’s principal, and Hash will be the school’s executive director.

The district announced the school’s restart last month and had several meetings with parents and staff. Cook was chosen after considerable effort and investment in the school did not lead to increases in students’ performance.

The school will use

several literacy models throughout the curriculum, and teachers will serve as models for others throughout the district.

“As we looked for a principal/executive director, it was clear that we needed a combination of innovative thinking and experience leading turn-

around schools,” Superintendent Beverly Emory said. “We found this combination in Paula and Constance.”

Wilkins has been the district’s director of professional development and recruiting since 2014. In that role, she led the district’s professional devel-

opment for all departments and recruitment efforts.

Hash is a longtime principal with experience turning around schools, most recently at Forest Park Elementary School.

She retired in 2013 and has been Cook’s interim principal since January.

Wilkins and Hash’s

next step is to form a design team of teachers and parents as they plan for the 2016-17 school year.

The school will have a new staff next year.

Current staff members can reapply to work at Cook or work with the district to find equivalent positions at another school.

Art exhibit opens featuring artwork from students

Hundreds of students, teachers, parents and other family members filed into the Milton Rhodes Center for the Arts last Friday evening for the opening of a special exhibit that features some of the best artwork from students in the Winston-Salem Forsyth County School System.

Spring Extravaganza is designed to showcase the talent within the elementary, middle and high schools in the area. The exhibit is filled with creations that are guaranteed to catch your eye. From hand painted underwater scenes, to cityscapes of downtown, and portraits of Santa Claus, the show has something for everyone.

WSSU gallery director highlights black women at SECCA

BY ASHLEA JONES FOR THE CHRONICLE

12x12 is the new salon series launched by the Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art (SECCA). This new juried salon series features twelve artists from across North Carolina, the twelfth state to enter the Union. Each salon exhibition is accompanied by an artist talk.

This first salon exhibition opened on March 1 with Winston-Salem-based photographer Endia Beal.

Beal’s current body of work, “Am I What You’re Looking For?” is a photo installation that features college-age AfricanAmerican women.

“Through a series of striking portraits, the project explores aspirations and challenges faced by college-age African-American women hoping to enter professional and corporate space,” stated Cora Fisher, curator of contemporary art at SECCA. “Am I What You’re Looking for?” is currently on display in the preview gallery of SECCA. During the exhibit’s opening, Beal discussed her motivation behind the exhibit and answered questions from the audience. “People don’t have these conversations enough. I was very pleased with how it all went down,” states Fisher.

Beal is currently the director of the Diggs Gallery at Winston-Salem State University (WSSU) and an associate professor of art. She holds a dual baccalaureate degree in Studio Art and Art History from UNC Chapel Hill. She completed a Master of Fine Arts degree in Photography

from Yale University.

“A native of WinstonSalem, an artist, and a teacher pioneering the salon series was very fitting,” says Fisher.

As an AfricanAmerican woman, Beal has her own stories about working in a corporate space; however, this body of work was further inspired by questions from her female students at WSSU. “Many of my students were coming to me about our transition into the corporate space. They were going on interviews and given the same kind of feedback that I received when I was in the corporate space,” says Beal. “Your hair looks very unkempt or messy. You need to pull your hair back or straighten it. You have on too much makeup or those heels are too high. That color is too bright. Do you have any pearls?”

Beal feels that AfricanAmerican women were being asked to mute themselves in order to gain opportunities and that was problematic.

“I decided to do a project very similar to a mock interview, where I allowed my students to be exactly who they were without having to alter themselves.

We all have to alter ourselves in order to gain opportunities, which is unfortunate,” says Beal.

“But in this space, this artistic space, we are free to be whoever we want to be.”

“Am I What You’re Looking For?” will be on view in the Preview Gallery of SECCA until April 1.

got the news that his work was going to be displayed at the gallery, he was elated.

Jones mentioned what he likes most about art is that you have the freedom to think outside the box.

“There’s technically no rules when it comes to art,” said Jones. “Art is considered anything, and anyone can do it.”

WS/FCS Director of Arts and Education Brad Oliver mentioned every school in the district is represented in the exhibit. Oliver said the showcase wouldn’t be possible without the partnership with Modern Automotive.

During opening night, winners were announced for the different divisions as well.

Modern Automotive awarded Sawtooth School for Visual Arts scholarships valued at $250 for each winner, along with a family membership. Runners-up received student memberships to the Sawtooth School as well.

Teachers of the three winners received certificates to pur-

When he found out he won first place in the elementary school division Kadence Watson from Caleb’s Creek struggled to hold back a giant smile. Although he said he enjoys baseball more, Watson said after winning the award he will continue to create art as well.

“I was excited when I found out I won,” he said. This is a real honor.”

Youth coordinator at the Sawtooth School Nanette Davis congratulated all students, teachers and the WS/FCS Art Administration for their hard work.

“It takes a village,” she said. “Tonight is proof of how much hard work and dedication that goes in throughout the school year.”

Darryl Hunt’s death reveals need for targeted help

The Winston-Salem community is mourning the death of Darryl Hunt, the hometown black man who was accused of murder but was eventually released and cleared after spending 19 years in prison. His murder conviction was vacated in February 2004.

In fact, Hunt touched the hearts of people in North Carolina and across the nation. He formed an organization that helped other people fight for their freedom in the courts, including in Atlanta, and helped those who were released from prison find jobs.

The state of North Carolina awarded him $300,000 and the city of Winston-Salem awarded him $1.6 million in settlements after he was released.

Early on, The Chronicle led the way in questioning Hunt’s guilt. Others followed. Right-minded government officials did the right thing, and Hunt was freed.

However, as people celebrated Hunt’s victories, it appears there wasn’t a strong system in place to help him mentally. It appears no one realized what the deep effect of 19 years in prison for a crime he did not commit had on Hunt. People close to Hunt said he was depressed. This man, who appeared to be quiet and unassuming, did not scream out for help.

He might not have realized himself that he needed help. Many people took from Hunt, a man who concentrated on giving, but it appears not many gave back in return.

Black people have been through hundreds of years of turmoil since we came to the United States, mostly by force. We were separated from our natural families and forced to adopt the families of white people. Kunta Kinte, whose story is told in the TV series “Roots,” seems to be one of the few black people in America who knows just where he came from.

Generations after generations of black people can only trace their roots back to their slave masters.

So black people have had to survive the atrocities the American justice system has used to keep the children of former slaves in place without those children having a real sense of who they are. This can affect people’s minds.

In Darryl Hunt we had a black man who, before he was arrested, was adrift in his life. After gaining freedom, did he somehow gain the footing to anchor himself for the future he faced? It appears that was a struggle if there were efforts to help him gain that footing.

There are other stories of black men who emerged from prison and helped people. One such person is Shaka Senghor, a black man who has written a new book titled “Writing My Wrongs: Life, Death, and Redemption in an American Prison.” He went to prison in 1991 for second-degree murder at age 19. While in prison, he says, “I spent my time reading and writing, using books to free my mind and expand my thinking.” He says that he did not allow his past or what others thought about him to define him or deter him. He was released at age 38.

Did Darryl Hunt have a background like this, reading and writing while he was in prison, freeing his mind and expanding his thinking for 19 years?

There should be targeted help for black men in prison and when they come out. Senghor says it will always be a struggle for him out of prison. There is a battle for his mind. As people who are not been in prison, we know how hard it is to keep focused.

Imagine the struggles for those who have spent years in prison for crimes they committed, let alone for those they did not commit.

Kalvin Michael Smith – the 44-year-old black man from Winston-Salem who has been in prison for 19 years of a 29-year sentence after being convicted of a December 1995 brutal beating – has gained support from people in the community for a new trial.

Supporters have shown that there is evidence he was not at the scene of the crime.

There also should be targeted help for Smith while in prison and when he gets out. The community should find ways to help Kalvin Michael Smith and others like him free their minds and expand their thinking so that they can become focused citizens in the community when they return to the community.

Black lives matter in prison and out.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Thank you for covering event about Islamic faith in W-S

To the Editor: Thank you Chronicle, especially T. Ramsey, for covering the "Contributions to Islamic Faith" community held at the Delta Fine Arts Center on February 20, 2016. The Triad Chapter of ACGG appreciated the extensive and comprehensive article.

The nominees who have actively been establishing the foundation of the Islamic Community in WinstonSalem for over 60 years glowed in their spirits for your attention given to their life's work.

Only the Chronicle highlighted this historical event and its ongoing positive contributions to the city and the African-American community in particular.

In love and sadness on the passing of Darryl Hunt To the Editor:

This weekend [Sunday, March 13], North Carolina lost one of her foremost freedom fighters in the passing of Dr. Darryl Hunt. I along with the North Carolina NAACP family lost not only a freedom fighter, but also a former colleague, brother and friend.

The state robbed Darryl of 19 years of his life by imprisoning him for a rape and murder he did not commit. The case Hunt goes down in infamy as one of the most thoroughly corrupt episodes in the saga of the deeply racist criminal justice system in our state. However, in his twelve short years out of prison, Darryl accomplished more good in the world than most can hope to in a lifetime.

Those who heard Darryl speak, or worked with him in the grassroots, know that Darryl made sure his bondage was not in vain. In addition to committing his time and resources to building the Darryl Hunt Project for Freedom and Justice, where he worked with hundreds of formerly incarcerated men and women, and fought for the exoneration of others falsely imprisoned, he also led a life of prophetic witness to the rampant racism in police departments, district attorneys’ offices and the courts.

Darryl was there in 2009 to push through the Racial Justice Act, which the North Carolina NAACP

and our HKonJ partners count as one of the greatest legislative victories for criminal justice in recent history.

In 2010, he joined the staff of the North Carolina NAACP as the founder and director of the AntiDeath Penalty Project. He helped lead our efforts to defend the RJA as long as possible so that the cases could get into court before the extremists in the General Assembly gutted and repealed the bill.

When the damning report on the practices of intentional perjury emerged out of the SBI labs, Darryl traveled the state on our behalf educating the branches and communities on the “Swecker Report.” He led court “jury watches” during capital trials where we know black jurors are struck from the rolls at disproportionate rates. Ever since his first plenary in 2010, we’ve always reserved a spot for Darryl to speak at our State Convention.

And none of this is to mention his role as a national leader in innocence projects and movements. For his work, Duke University awarded him an honorary doctorate in 2012.

Darryl was a wounded healer in the greatest sense. I can remember him often saying that he has forgiven those who put him in jail when they knew he was innocent, but he has not forgotten.

For Darryl, it was a spiritual matter. He would say that he did not know how to ask others or God for forgiveness if he was not willing to forgive those who imprisoned him.

He was not going to let them imprison him again with bitterness.

And neither would he let them keep him from fighting for justice.

Darryl traveled the nation and the world with his witness that injustice does not have the last word. For a generation of activists, Darryl was hope incarnate. Justice was his calling. Courage and love was his answer. We pledge to you brother Darryl, that your spirit lives on in each of us. Those you touched will touch others and others as we keep our hands on the freedom plow. Let it be so.

Rag Baby, a humorous glimpse into early black life in Winston-Salem To The Editor:

Back in the 30s, 40s, 50s and 60s, most black people played numbers on the stock market (winning numbers were derived from these numbers) especially “butter and eggs” (a commodity). The money won helped put food on the table.

For 2 cents you could win $8.00, for 5 cents you won $20.00 and for 25 cents you won $100.00. My sister Rachel and her next door neighbor, Della, played every day. Every neighborhood had its own number writer. Their writer was a tiny little lady and they didn’t know her name.

She was always bundled up like she had on too many clothes - two sweaters, extra scarves and jackets so they called her “Rag Baby.”

Rag Baby was a good “numbers writer.” She was honest, prompt and if you “hit” the number on her book, the money was as good as already in your pocket.

One lucky day both Della and Rachel had a 5Hodge cent hit on Rag Baby’s book. Oh boy! $20.00 dollars each! They were overjoyed talking about what they were going to do with all that money. “Girl, we won’t go to Henry’s today. Let’s walk up on Liberty Street to the Meat House, I want some pig tails and kraut,” Rachel said. “I want some fried pork chops and Spanish rice,” Della said.

“Lord, Lord I can taste it right now.”

After talking a while, Della said, “Wait a minute, Rachel. What’s holding Rag Baby? She should have been here by now, it’s getting late. I believe I’ll run around to her house and pick up my $20.00 dollars; you want me to bring yours?” Rachel said, “Yes, I’ll be dressed by then and we’ll walk up to the Meat House.”

Rag Baby lived a block away on the corner of 14th street and Cameron Avenue. After about 10 minutes, Della was running and , “Open the door quick, Rachel, Lord have mercy, let me in!! “ “What’s wrong? What happened Della?”

“Oh Lord, Rag Baby dead!!”

What? Let’s go up there before anybody comes to see if we can find her pocketbook and get our $20.00, come on let’s go!!”

They ran around the corner, too late!! The police had already come in and nobody could come in and nobody could leave the house until the coroner could come and examine the body. The coroner came and examined the body and said that she had died of natural causes. Nothing was in the newspaper about it. At that time nothing was printed about black people too much.

Her family came up from South Carolina and carried her home for burial. We never knew her name, just Rag Baby.

“We Charge Genocide”

-- Six questions and past actions in the U.S. that give precedent to why such a charge is conceivable Akbar

Muhammad

Guest Columnist

N a t i o n w i d e (BlackNews.com) -- I first saw the term "We Charge Genocide" on the cover of a book given to me in a New York City restaurant called "Ararat," off 36th Street and 5th Avenue. It was an Armenian restaurant where the owner got to know Minister Louis Farrakhan, his family and staff who dined there from time to time for dinner. It was from the owner that I heard about the struggle of Armenia, which was not an independent country at that time.

In recent years, Armenia has become familiar to the American public from the notoriety of the reality television family, the Kardashians, who are from there.

The tragedy in Armenia was a case of systematic liquidation of a minority people struggling for freedom, self determination and justice by the old Ottoman Empire which is now Turkey.

It was carried out during World War I between the years 1915 and 1918.

The Armenian people were subjected to deportation, expropriation, abduction, torture, massacre, and starvation, said www.armenian-genocide.org that documented the struggle and

history.

Although the violations happened years before the United Nations Convention on Genocide, the world condemned the action. But perhaps because of time and Armenia being a distant place and a world away, the American people may not remember much of what happened there.

However, right now inside America, we are facing a tragedy in Flint, Mich. with lead poison contamination of the water. According to experts, the whole ordeal could have been avoided but was allowed to fester by city and state leadership.

In Flint, we too can charge genocide; the city is predominately black and poor with a high rate of unemployment.

The poor black, brown and poor disenfranchised communities have suffered from lead poisoning over the years and the long-term effects have been documented. One example was Freddie Gray, who died in the hands of Baltimore police sparking unrest and protests during 2015.

Recent reports disclosed a high level of lead was found in his body. Mr. Gray is not the exception and according to a black doctor I spoke to, the establishment has clear methods to eradicate most of the lead poisoning these communities.

The situation in Flint is not new and with a cursory glance at history, lessons can be drawn to help in the analysis of the crisis as a

possible case for genocide.

Here are six questions and past actions in the U.S. that give precedent to why a charge of genocide in

Illustration by Ron Rogers for The Chronicle

Flint is conceivable: We should ask why isn’t the Federal Government working in conjunction with the state

and city governments to relocate the people of Flint, Mich., as was done during the March 1979 nuclear meltdown at the Three Mile Island reactor in Pa. where citizens were relocated because of the danger of staying in the area?

The notorious acts of germ warfare against the indigenous people by European settlers here in North America such as the intentional spread of disease like small pox to weaken and kill Native Americans. It was a common method and was sent through small pox contaminated blankets.

Another note of history is the famed Tuskegee experiment where black men were injected with syphilis and purposely denied treatment. This went on from 1932-1972 and was called the "Tuskegee Study of Untreated Syphilis in the Negro Male." The study initially involved 600 black men, 399 with syphilis, 201 who did not have the disease. The study was conducted without the benefit of patients' informed consent.

Then there was the question of eugenics and forced sterilization of predominately black women without their consent, mainly in the Southern states. These were acts of genocide under laws such as the South Carolina Sterilization Bill passed into law in 1935.

In the case of criminal behavior and mass incarceration where America

houses two million mostly black and brown inmates; maybe these should be tested for lead poisoning to see if it too is an underlining impact within their thinking.

We can encourage black athletes and entertainers, especially those in Hollywood, to speak out and demand that the Federal government test young black men in this country for the effects of long-term lead poisoning, and test the drinking water in the cities across this country that are dominated by minorities.

The Flint, Mich., lead poisoning issue is one of environmental corruption and racism among other important problems plaguing America. Black leadership is mostly pushed into discussions on civil rights, but this is about the life and death of a whole nation of people that must be adequately addressed.

We want to know in straight words, what are the political positions on this from candidates vying to occupy the White House after this next national election? There may be many more Flints across America which gives us the right to say loud and clear that we charge genocide.

Tournament is a gathering place for old friends I grew up arguably in the heart of CIAA [Central Intercollegiate Athletic Guest Association] Columnist land. Growing up in WinstonSalem gave me a first-hand view of Winston-Salem Teachers College (now Winston-Salem State University), one of the original members of the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association. Nearby were other CIAA schools like North Carolina A&T (now University), Fayetteville College (now State University), Livingstone College and my alma mater, Johnson C Smith University.

All of these schools had and have stellar academic programs and great athletic traditions. Over time, North Carolina A&T University and North Carolina Central University moved on to another division, as did Hampton Institute (now University) and Norfolk State College (now University). In fact, Winston-Salem State University moved to another division for a few years but now they have come back to their rightful home, the CIAA. I have been on the campus of WinstonSalem State University countless times.

One of its presidents, Dr. Kenneth R. Williams, lived on our street. Back in the day it was a very big deal to go to an athletic contest featuring Winston-Salem Teachers College. The school was fondly called TC. In my neighborhood lived one of the greatest basketball coaches of all-time, Clarence “Big House” Gaines. His coaching achievements and contributions to the game of basketball have been characterized as iconic. When young boys like me, Bishop Graham and William Earl Jr., would go over to his house, we would run into basketball players like Teddy Blunt, Richard Glover and Louis “Left Hand” Parker. Of course many would say that the greatest basketball player that he coached was Earl “The Pearl” Monroe. It did not hurt that Mrs. Clara Gaines, his wife, taught some of us Latin at Atkins High

School, so we were always around their house and Skyland Recreation Center, which was across the street.

The CIAA Basketball Tournament was a staple in Winston-Salem for a number of years. Outstanding teams like Virginia State College (now University) which won this year’s men’s tournament, Virginia Union University and the ones that I mentioned earlier made it a treat for us as young boys to attend. Shaw University, St. Paul’s College, St. Augustine College (now University) and Elizabeth State College (now University) were also members of the conference and competed in the tournament as well. During that time, the aforementioned schools in North Carolina and Virginia made up the majority of the CIAA. While you hear basketball enthusiasts

talk about Tobacco Road and schools like Wake Forest, Duke and North Carolina, there has also been as much conversation about CIAA schools. Coaches like Steve Joyner (Johnson C. Smith University) and Dave Robbins (retired coach at Virginia Union University) are coaching legends in the CIAA. Joyner and his brother, Ed “Buck” Joyner, who was the head coach at St. Paul’s College before it closed and now is an assistant coach at Livingstone College, have a basketball-coaching family dynasty. Both of their sons are basketball coaches. Buck Jr. is the head men’s coach at Hampton University and Steve Jr. is the head women’s coach at Johnson C. Smith University.

The CIAA Conference was something that we just took for granted and seeing great college athletes wasn’t anything

unusual. However as I reflect now, I realize what a special time that was.

So if you fast forward to 2016, the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association has changed quite a bit.

Athletic teams within the conference are better and women’s sports teams have taken tremendous strides. Student-athletes from the CIAA schools are graduating in greater numbers and the conference has added more schools. For example, the newest members are Bowie State University (Md.), Chowan University (N.C.) and Lincoln University (Pa.).

The marketing of the CIAA has certainly contributed to the overall success not only for the conference, but also for the individual schools. The Conference offices are now located in Charlotte, arguably one of the premier cities in the South.

Alumni of these schools and those who never attended one of the conference’s schools plan their vacations around the CIAA Basketball Tournament. By the way, it will be held in Charlotte next year, so make your hotel reservations now.

We just returned from the tournament a few weeks ago and had a wonderful time.

It was a time to see old friends and talk about the good old days. I spent a lot of time simply walking around and seeing people that I had not seen in years. This is what happens at the CIAA. You go for the basketball and you leave with renewed friendships and great stories to tell.

I often say to my friends and colleagues that the CIAA Basketball Tournament should be on your bucket list.

Spread the word because next year will be here before you know it. It will be time for basketball, great fellowship and wonderful memories.

from page A1

"We all know that Mr. Hunt was a forgiving man,” he said. "His life became a symbol of determination and endurance for justice.”

Hunt’s funeral service has been set for 1 p.m. Saturday, March 19, at Emmanuel Baptist Church, 1075 Shalimar Dr. In 1984, Hunt was wrongfully convicted of the rape and murder of Deborah Sykes, a white copy editor at the Sentinel, a newspaper in the city.

Less than a month after his arrest, The Chronicle raised questions about the initial investigation, which stated officers were looking for two African-American males, neither of which matched Hunt’s description. The Sept. 20, 1984, edition of the paper also notes accounts from friends of Hunt who stated they were with him during the time of the murder.

After serving nearly 20 years in prison

for the crime, Hunt was released in 2004.

It was then he dedicated his life to educating the public about flaws in the criminal justice system and providing resources and support for those trying to rebuild their lives.

Through The Darryl Hunt Project for Freedom and Justice, and by speaking to law students across the state, that’s exactly what he did.

In 2008, Hunt told a group of law students at Wake Forest University that innocence projects are a lifeline.

“If you can imagine yourself somewhere and you know that you don't belong there, then you can feel the pain that so many people feel that are innocent and crying out for help.”

Hunt also spoke out against the execution of Troy Davis in 2011. Davis was convicted of killing an off duty Savannah, Georgia, police officer, but many questioned the evidence in the case. Most of the witnesses that helped convict Davis

recanted their stories. Hunt attended the hearing to show his support.

Just last month, Hunt spoke during a rally held for Kalvin Michael Smith, the Winston-Salem man who is currently serving a 29-year sentence for the assault of Jill Marker at the Silk Plan Forest store in 1977.

Hunt told students from Wake Forest University, Winston-Salem State University and Salem College to demand that justice be served.

“Justice has to come down,” said Hunt.

“We have to demand justice because what happened to Kalvin can happen to anyone of you.”

During the vigil, dozens of members of the community talked about how Hunt’s legacy and fight for racial and social unity impacted their lives. Former member of the project Timothy Smith said he grew up with Hunt and his friend had one of the best hearts that you could ever see in a person.

Former executive director of the Darryl

Hunt Project Pam Peoples-Joyner said Hunt encouraged her to be a voice for the voiceless. She also mentioned she is confident that his work will continue through the hundreds of people he has touched over the years.

Peoples-Joyner fought to hold back tears as she recalled the good times she shared with Hunt working with the project.

“I’m a better person because of Darryl Hunt,” she said. “I made a promise to him that I will continue to fight for second chances and for those who are often overlooked in the community.

The president of the Ministers’ Conference of Winston-Salem and Vicinity, Bishop Todd Fulton, said when he first got the news of Hunt’s death, he had a lot of questions for God. Fulton said he then realized that Hunt is now free.

“I realize now that Darryl is no longer bound by the chains of injustice,” he continued. “Yes, we will mourn and grieve, but ultimately we know he is free.”

Former President Bill Clinton discusses college affordability during a rally held at Wake Forest University on Sunday, March 13.

President Bill Clinton visits Wake Forest, stumps for wife

BY TEVIN STINSON THE CHRONICLE

Last Sunday former President Bill Clinton made a stop in the Twin City to campaign for Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential bid. Hundreds of people packed into a medium-size room inside

the university’s law school while nearly another 100 listened from outside.

During his spirited 50minute address, Clinton addressed jobs, gun control, college affordability, and socioeconomic equality. He also discussed his wife’s lifelong record of

breaking down barriers that hold people back and history of delivering real results.

“This is a pivotal moment in our country’s history. You have a choice of voting for answers rather than anger,” said President Clinton. “This is a moment of opportunity.”

President Clinton urged the crowd of mostly students to vote for answers and progress instead of protest. He said his wife has the best plan to build on what President Barack Obama already has in place.

“Nobody likes what’s

happened. But we have to think about what’s best for the future.”

Following his speech, President Clinton took time to address the students outside who didn’t make it inside and had to listen to the speech from a loud speaker. Many of the stu-

dents said having a former president come to their school shows how important their votes really are.

“A lot of young people don’t usually see the importance in voting,” Marion Burgess said.

“Today proves how important our votes really are.”

they were not busy.

“After hearing from other precincts, I just don’t think there is as much excitement in predominately Democrat precincts, ” Brendle said.

Brendle said he believes Republican precincts had a better turnout because many registered Republicans are trying to either stop Donald Trump from earning the nomination or help him win.

According to Brendle, the Democratic voters don't

seem to have the same sense of urgency.

Aside from a low turnout rate, precincts in East Winston also had to deal with a number of voters going to the wrong voting sites. Brendle, who was at the precinct from open to close, mentioned he had to turn several voters away.

“I feel bad for those people,” Brendle continued. “It can be disheartening to get all the way to the poll and be told that you can’t vote.”

According to poll

worker Roger Hayes, the precinct at the14th Street RecreationCenter saw some of the same issues.

“People who have voted for 20 to 30 years are going to vote and being told they are at the wrong place,” said Hayes. “The voters are becoming frustrated and just giving up.”

Hayes said he also had a number of issues with the new voter ID requirement.

In order to cast a ballot, voters had to show a stateissued photo ID. It is the first time the state’s voter

ID requirement has been implemented.

According to Hayes, a number of the voters who showed up to the polls had IDs that were expired. He also mentioned that the ID requirement is also a reason precincts in East Winston had such a low turnout rate, even though voters without a stateissued ID can still cast a provisional ballot.

Hayes said the AfricanAmerican community has to do a better job of being knowledgeable about the

voting process and understanding the importance of primary elections.

“Many AfricanAmericans don’t believe these elections have anything to do with us,” he continued. “I had someone tell me today that they were going to wait until it really counts to vote.”

“We have to wake up and realize that every vote counts. That’s something we as a community don’t really understand.”

East Winston precincts deal with issues

BY TEVIN STINSON THE CHRONICLE

Although much was at stake on Tuesday when voters across the state submitted ballots for the primary election, precincts in the eastern portion of Winston-Salem did not see a big turnout.

WSSU participates in $30 Million NCAADOD concussion study

WSSU photo

SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE

Winston-Salem State University is among nine new schools and the only Historically Black College or University (HBCU) to participate to the largest-ever study of concussion in sports, it was announced recently at the World Congress on Brain Injury meeting in Hague, Netherlands.

The $30 million NCAA-U.S. Department of Defense Concussion Assessment (DOD) Research and Education Consortium study enters its third year this summer and now includes 30 institutions across the country. More than 170 schools have inquired about taking part in the study. WSSU as well as the other new schools will begin baseline screening for all their student-athletes this summer.

“It's not often that opportunities like these are captured at the NCAA Division II level. So in fact, this is not only a win for Winston-Salem State University, but also for the CIAA and HBCUs around the country,” said Tonia Walker, WSSU director of athletics.

“This type of engagement simply strengthens our existing relationship with Wake Forest Baptist Hospital and forges additional partnership opportunities between WSSU and Wake Forest University Athletics. I'm ecstatic that we were selected because this is pretty significant in the grand scheme of organized

sports with the recent studies around concussions and their long-term affect on student-athletes' health and well being. The study also ties directly into the WSSU's strategic plan as it embraces collaboration and demonstrates the innovation that we are seeing throughout the campus."

All student-athletes at each of the participating institutions receive a comprehensive preseason evaluation for concussion and will be monitored in the event of an injury. Data collected at each school are evaluated by a team of researchers led by Steven Broglio, director of the University of Michigan’s NeuroTrauma Research Laboratory; Michael McCrea, director of brain injury research at the Medical College of Wisconsin; and Tom McAllister, chair of the Indiana University School of Medicine Department of Psychiatry.

The researchers have collected more than 25 million data points from 16,000 student-athletes at the 21 institutions already participating. After adding the nine new testing sites, researchers estimate that more than 25,000 student-athletes will take part over the course of the three-year study.

The NCAA and DOD have dedicated $30 million to the concussion study and an initiative to spur culture change regarding concussion. Participating schools receive a portion of that funding to cover the cost of carrying out the research.

JoAnne Allen seeks more signatures in race for mayor T H E C H R ON I C LE

BY TEVIN STINSON THE CHRONICLE

If Winston-Salem native JoAnne Allen collects enough signatures, Mayor Allen Joines will have competition this fall when citizens across Forsyth County cast their ballots during the general election.

Allen, who is looking to run as an unaffiliated candidate, needs more than 6,000 signatures before Sept. 23 to be added to the ballot. Although the exact number of signatures is unknown, the rule is that she must obtain signatures from at least four percent of registered voters.

During a recent discussion with The Chronicle, Allen said she wants to ensure that every voice in Winston-Salem is heard. Allen mentioned she believes somewhere down the line, elected officials lost sight of what their purpose was. According to Allen, elected officials have started to

benefit personally from their titles and forgot about the residents.

“I have a problem with that. WinstonSalem is my home. I want to keep things moving forward and that has not happened,” she said.

“As mayor, I plan to bring pride back to the city.”

During a meet and greet event earlier this month, Allen said she will address a number of issues including decreasing the poverty level.

Based on the population of the city, Winston-Salem ranks number two in the country for the number of residents living

at or below the poverty line. Allen argues that although Joines has made strides to decrease the poverty in the area, more should have been done sooner.

“This city did not get this way overnight. City officials have been sitting back and watching this happen and it’s time for a change,” Allen said.

Allen who often speaks during the public comment period at city council meetings and community meetings throughout the city, said, “The city council does not run Winston-Salem.

“Joines and business interests are who really run the city,” she continued. “A number of these businesses have earned millions of dollars while the City of Winston-Salem continues to struggle.”

Allen said she decided she wanted to run for mayor in 2010. According to Allen, she had grown tired of the lack of commu-

Phoenix girls capture state title again!

Winston-Salem Prep celebrates after the girls' team wins its second straight Class 1-A state basketball championship.

BY CRAIG T. GREENLEE FOR THE CHRONICLE

28-3

After the first 12 minutes of play, it was no longer a mystery as to whether Winston-Salem Prep’s girls would win back-to-back state championships. The only question was what the final margin of victory would be.

It was a vintage performance for the Phoenix, whose smothering defense paved the way for a 66-34 blow-out victory over Plymouth in the Class 1-A final at Carmichael Arena on the campus of UNC in Chapel Hill last Saturday.

In the process, Prep’s pressure led to 20 steals and 37 forced turnovers.

“Defensively, it was the best effort we’ve had all year,” said point guard Jada Craig of Prep. “We knew it

wasn’t going to be easy to repeat (as state champs), so that was all the motivation we needed to keep playing hard.”

The victory served as a fitting conclusion to a two-year championship run for seven seniors. The Phoenix (28-3) rolled through this year’s state playoffs and won six games by an average margin of 27 points.

“These ladies have set a legacy for Winston-Salem Prep basketball,” said coach Eugene Love of Prep. “Hopefully, we can continue to build on it. But I don’t know if we can ever repeat it. I’m excited and happy for them and we’ll enjoy this for right now. Within the next week or so, we’ll start looking towards next season.”

Although Prep’s calling is defense, this game quickly turned into a rout because of its offensive balance as seven

Final’s loss sends QEA closes out Prep’s boys back to regular season in the drawing board blow-out fashion

BY CRAIG T. GREENLEE FOR THE CHRONICLE

In the aftermath of Winston-Salem Prep’s decisive loss in the boys’ Class 1-A state championship game, Andre Gould refused to make excuses.

As painful as this might sound to die-hard Phoenix followers, their favorite team succumbed to an opponent who was superior on that day. Prep lost convincingly to Durham Voyager Academy 69-56 in the finals played last Saturday at UNC’s Carmichael Arena in Chapel Hill.

Quality Education Academy gave its avid followers much to cheer about in its last game of the regular season last Thursday. The Pharaohs bolted to an early lead, and then shifted into overdrive in a 74-46 victory over Forest Trail Academy.

Deshawn Corprew, a 6-5 shooting guard who’s ranked among ESPN’s Top 100 players in the country, set the tone for QEA with a game-high 28 points. Jaylen McGill was next with 12, and Pape Ndiaye finished with eight points.

players scored eight or more points.

Game day just happened to be Mychala Wolfe’s birthday and she celebrated by leading her team in scoring with 13 points, which included three 3-pointers. Kayla Robinson contributed 10 points and 5 rebounds and Craig, the championship game MVP who has signed with East Tennessee State, finished with 10 points and 5 assists.

It didn’t take long for Prep to seize control of the game. Plymouth packed the paint with its 2-3 zone defense in an effort to nullify post players Chrisalyn Boston and Kristian Saunders. The Phoenix countered with reliable outside shooting. Wolfe and Robinson converted a couple of 3-pointers apiece to

help their team build a 2110 lead by the end of the first quarter.

“I saw that they were playing zone and that they were rotating slow,” said Wolfe, who shot 50 percent from 3-point distance (3of-6). “So when my teammates skipped me the ball, I was open and I took the shots.”

Plymouth, in the meantime, struggled to navigate through the pressure, especially after Prep switched from playing man to a 1-31 three-quarter court zone trap. The defense was so effective that the Vikings shot just 23.1 percent from the field in the first half.

The second quarter, in which they scored only three points, was very problematic.

It’s not that Plymouth (29-2) didn’t know what was coming. It was more a matter of not being able to make the right adjustments.

Coach Eugene Love delivers instructions from the sidelines during the Class 1-A final in Chapel Hill last week.

“We’ve played other teams that press like they do,” said Lamont Gilliam of Plymouth. “But they were really good. They had people in the right spots and they forced us to the sidelines.”

Forest Trail, which is located in Kernersville, was led by lefty point guard Deshawn Patterson who finished with 25 points, mostly on dazzling drives and tear-drop shots.

It was Senior Night for several folks on the QEA roster, who were honored and applauded at halftime.

For those soon-to-be departing student-athletes, which include Corprew and Ndiaye, it marked the final time in their high school careers that they would play in front of the home fans in the Pharaohs gym.

“Tonight was really about the kids,” said coach Isaac Pitts of QEA, whose team finished the regular season with a 26-4 record.

“The seniors got most of the (playing) minutes and

had some fun in the process.”

The Pharaohs led by eight points in midway through the second quarter.

The game, however, quickly turned into a runaway when Corprew scored on double-clutch drives, pull-up jumpers and a thunderous dunk. By the end of the first half, QEA’s margin had ballooned to 58-34.

“This was a good game, and we had a lot of fun, too,” said Ndiaye.

“The season has gone well for us. We’ve been playing great.”

Corprew was pleased with his team’s performance in its regular-season finale. By the end of this month, he’s expected to announce where he will play college basketball.

Corprew has attracted heavy interest in recent months from high-profile programs such as Kansas,

marish experience shooting the basketball. For the game, Gould’s crew went 18-of-74 from the field and 17-of-32 from the freethrow line. Although the Phoenix forced 29 Voyager turnovers, it wasn’t nearly enough to compensate for missing 56 shot attempts.

“Voyager Academy was better than us today – period,” said Gould, whose team finished its season at 22-8. “Overall, I didn’t think our guards played up to par. If you don’t hit shots, I don’t care who you are, you are not going to win championships. And if you don’t take care of the small things, like hitting free throws, then what do you expect?”

A prime figure in Prep’s downfall was 6-11 center Jay Huff, who has reportedly signed with Virginia.

Huff, voted the championship game MVP, singlehandedly changed the flow of the game with14 points, 14 rebounds and 10 Texas A&M, UCLA and Louisville.

“I felt like we did an excellent job on Senior Night,” he said. “We wanted to come out, have some fun and end the (regular) season right.”

Now that the regular season is history, QEA turns its attention to getting ready for the big stage in high school basketball.

The Pharaohs are part of an elite 12-team field for the Grind Session National Championship, which will be played next week (March 24-27) in Lawrence, Kan. The GSNC has the makings of becoming a marquee event because of the talent level. Team rosters are loaded with some of the nation’s elite-level high school basketball players. Quite a few are rated in the Top 100.

QEA is no stranger to this level of competition.

the Vikings was 6-4 center Brittany Franklin who had 14 points, 13 rebounds, five steals and two blocked shots. Daneya Rouson chipped in with 12 points and three assists.

The most disruptive factor for Prep’s defense

blocked shots.

There was a first-quarter sequence involving Huff which proved to be a bad omen for Gould’s squad. Midway through the quarter, Prep’s Zaire Williams, a 6-7 power forward, grabbed three offensive rebounds in a row and Huff made clean blocks of all three of Williams’ putback attempts.

Williams, the only Prep player to score in double figures, delivered a gamehigh 20 points and grabbed a team-high 8 rebounds.

Huff’s early blocks seemed to set a tone for the rest of the game. The lanes became a “no-go zone” and the Phoenix couldn’t find the rim (24.3 percent from the field). Williams, in the meantime, didn’t have his usual shooting proficiency (5-of-17 for 29.4 percent).

“Jay Huff is a skilled player and he’s special,” said Gould. “I don’t know how many blocks he had. If you ask me, he probably had 40, that’s the way it looked. We can’t point fingers at anybody. The referees told us they were going Close to half of the opposing teams on the Pharaohs’ schedule played on the Grind Session tour that had stops in 17 cities across the U.S. plus Canada. In Grind Session match-ups, QEA posted a 7-3 record.

“We’re about halfway through our preparations,” said Pitts. “We’ve seen everybody (in the field), so we know what to expect.

At this time of the season, it’s not about running up and down the court. That’s why we’ve been doing some maintenance stuff such strengthening the bodies and studying a lot of film of our opponents.

The major focus is making sure that our guys are mentally ready to play.”

was Dominique Claytor, a 5-9 swing player who recently returned to the lineup after being sidelined by a knee injury. Claytor, who has signed with East Carolina, played at the start of the season in the Mary Garber Classic, but spent most of the season in rehab and didn’t rejoin the team until early February. In her absence, the Phoenix continued to roll.

“It’s a testament of how well the other seven ladies played without her,” said Love. “We were a very good team without Dominique.

But we became much better when she came back. Having her on the floor is good for our transition game. When she rebounds we can automatically push (the pace). At the other end, we put her at the top of our 1-3-1 (defense). With her length and athleticism, it gives people a lot of problems.”

to let us play and I’m OK with that because we like to be physical.”

As dominant as Huff was, he got ample assistance. Collin Faucette scored 19 points on 7-of-9 field goal shooting, which included three 3-pointers.

Chance Greene followed up with 13 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists and China Jones contributed 11 points and 9 boards.

Voyager (32-4) took the lead with 3:47 left in the first quarter on a Nelson White free throw. From that point on, the Vikings kept the Phoenix at a distance.

Prep narrowed the margin to 37-31 on a pair of Williams’ foul shots with 3:32 to go in the third quarter, but could get no closer.

“When we cut it (deficit) to six, we forced three turnovers in a row and missed three lay-ups,” said Gould. “You can’t put that on the big boy because he was trailing (on those plays). We made a couple of runs, but then we had some bone-headed lapses.

When you’re playing a

In the title game, Claytor came off the bench to provide an added spark.

By game’s end, she had eight points, five assists and seven steals.

Considering that Prep goes only eight-deep on its roster, it’s somewhat surprising that this team was able to play at such a highenergy level for the length of a long season. The uptempo, relentless style is a Phoenix trademark.

“That’s just what we do,” Love explained.

“That’s how our practices are geared. Everything we do is pretty much going to be full-court and it’s going to be fast. That’s the expectation and the kids learn to play that way. With our rotations, we got it down to where we know who needs to sub and when and where. That’s the style that we’re accustomed to playing.” good team like Voyager that’s been together for four years, they’re going to carve you up.”

Even though Prep has lost back-to-back state finals, the future is far from bleak. A core group of nine players return, which should bode well for next season. Given recent history, Gould expects his team to come back hungrier than ever to make amends for falling short of their goal to win it all. He sees no need to rely on mantras and witty sayings to fuel the competitive fires of his returning players.

“There is nothing that I should have to say,” Gould said. “When they show up in my gym next year for pre-season workouts, or whenever, they know the beast is going to come out.

We are living witnesses that if you don’t take care of the little things, you’re going to be sitting in second place.

Voyager Academy beat us at what we like to do best. So, we’ve got to go back to the drawing board.”

Winston Lake offers flag league designed to teach fundamentals Visit Our New Website www.WSChronicle.com

BY TEVIN STINSON THE CHRONICLE

When it comes to sports, the month of March is best known for college basketball and the start of baseball spring training, until now. A select number of youth are looking to change that and make spring football season as well.

This Saturday, young athletes from across the city will officially kick off the flag football season at the Winston Lake Family YMCA. While there are many different youth football programs throughout Forsyth County, the flag leagues offered by a number of YMCAs throughout Winston-Salem and surrounding areas are unlike any other.

According to coordinators of the league, although it retains that competitive edge that comes with the sport, the main purpose is to teach the basic fundamentals of the game.

With the recent increase in concussions and head injuries suffered while playing contact sports, a number of parents across the city and the nation are thinking twice before letting their children play football.

According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, each year U.S. emergency departments treat an estimated 135,000 children between ages 5 to 18 for sports-related brain injuries.

Although most of the head injuries reported were not severe, repeated con-

cussions could put a child at risk for a number of conditions such as early onset dementia, Parkinson’s disease, and other neurological disorders.

When asked about the flag league compared to contact leagues in the area, a number of parents mentioned the risk of injury played a big part in deciding to go with the no-contact league. Ivory Johnson said the flag league is a nice alternative for parents having second thoughts.

SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE

ASHEBORO – For the second straight day, WinstonSalem State and Chowan battled to a one game apiece split, with WSSU taking game one, 6-0, and Chowan winning game two, 7-6.

With the split, WSSU moves to 12-13 overall and 2-2 in the CIAA, while Chowan moves to 8-14 overall, and 2-2 in the CIAA. In game one, WSSU jumped out in front early, as Jason Baytop was hit by a pitch, and promptly stole second base, before being driven in on a Brandon Fowler single to center field.

The Rams added two runs in the third inning, as Nathan Steger doubled to left center field, scoring Jason Baytop and Rashad Webster to give the Rams a 3-0 advantage.

Brandon Fowler and Nathan Steger each picked up a run batted in the fifth inning, as Rashad Webster and Fowler would each cross home plate to move the Rams to a 5-0 lead.

Ivan Acuna shut the door in the sixth inning with a solo home run blast to left field to WSSU the final 6-0 contest.

Devin McLemore picked up the win for WSSU, throwing a complete game shutout. McLemore went 7.0 innings, allowing just five runs, while striking out a sea-

son high 10 batters.

Nathan Steger led the Rams at the plate, going 2 for 3 with three runs batted in and a double, while Brandon Fowler went 2 for 3 with two runs batted in, two runs scored and a double. Ivan Acuna also finished 2 for 3, with a home run, one run batted in and one run scored. Michael McNamara went 1 for 3, and Rashad Webster went 1 for 2 with two runs scored. Jason Baytop scored twice and had a stolen base.

In game two, the Rams jumped out early on the Chowan Hawks with a run batted in off the bat of Nathan Steger, scoring Brandon Fowler to give WSSU the early 1-0 in the first.

Winston-Salem State picked up another run in the second, when Corey Shelton brought home Ivan Acuna to give the Rams a 2-0 lead.

The Hawks plated four runs in the fourth using a homerun, a wild pitch by the Rams, and a Winston-Salem State error, to give Chowan their first lead, at 4-2.

Landon Steiner singled to lead off the bottom half of the fourth, and worked his way around the base paths, and would score on a Corey Shelton hit, misplayed for an error by the Hawks second baseman, to pull the Rams to within one at 4-3.

Chowan kept the pressure on by answering with a run in the top of the fifth to move ahead, 5-3.

Jason Baytop led off the fifth with a single up the middle, and then advanced to third on Brandon Fowler's single to right. Nathan Steger singled to left field, scoring Baytop, to once again pull the Rams to within one, at 5-4.

Willie McRae would ground out, scoring Abreu, and Jason Baytop would single scoring Webster to tie the game at 6-6 heading into the seventh inning.

But WSSU's Jordan Cummings would hit the first batter and after a groundout, a single put runners in prime scoring position. A sacrifice fly would score the winning run for Chowan, by putting them up 7-6.

Landon Steiner would single to lead off the bottom of the seventh, and a pinch runner would be brought in. The Rams could not get the timely hit, and the run never threatened to score, and the Chowan Hawks came away with the 7-6 win.

With education being the key that opens so many vocational doors and opportunity, St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church, at 810 n. highland ave., held a celebration for St. augustine’s University in Raleigh, n.C. St. Stephen’s has had a long relationship with the university as many of the members either attended college there or have had family members to do so.

With St. augustine’s being one of only two historically black colleges in the

United States affiliated with the Episcopal church, they are visiting churches in the area that have supported the university throughout the years to give an update on the status of the school.

St. augustine’s president Dr. Everett Blair Ward, along with the university choir, attended Sunday’s service.

Ward, who was named the 11th president on april 10, 2015, is the third alumnus to hold the post in the 149-year history of the school. Ward also has ties to the Triad as well, as he earned his Ph.D. from

Struggling Faith

Background: The lesson this week is set in Jerusalem after the last supper where Jesus celebrated Passover with the twelve. This is also where he revealed that there would be a betrayal that would cost his life. Jesus also on this night instituted “communion” with instructions to do it in remembrance of him (14:22-25). after the Passover observance, Jesus and the disciples go to the Garden of

Lesson: on their way to the mount of olives, Jesus reminds the disciples of his impending death and he tells them that they will desert him.

Peter speaks up saying he would rather die than turn his back on him. Jesus then tells Peter that not only will he turn his back, he will deny him three times that very evening before the rooster crows twice. Christ is arrested and taken not to court, but to Caiaphas’ (high priest)

According to Davis, he became aware of the production from Wade in late 2015 and found the concept very interesting. He initially wanted the performance to take place during Black History Month, but with a cast member falling ill, they had to postpone it until a later date and thought with the anniversary coming up, now would be the perfect time.

house. The disciples run in all directions deserting Jesus as He foretold.

But Peter, being in his mind anyway a loyal follower, followed at a safe distance to be unnoticed. After building up a little courage, Peter moves a little closer to the house to see what was going on with Jesus. While warming himself at the fire, a servant girl recognizes him saying, “You also were with Jesus of Nazareth.” As predicted by Jesus, Peter denies knowing Him and moves to another location to avoid the girl … and the rooster crows once. The servant girl, determined to make sure everyone knows that Peter is a follower of Jesus,

points him out a second time and he again denies knowing Jesus (vv 6669). Sticking around the house participating in conversation, Peter’s accent is recognized as Galilean and once again for the third time he is identified as a follower of Jesus. And for the third time Peter denies and the rooster crows for the second time, Peter remembers what Jesus had told him and runs away weeping. Peter realized he had done exactly what he said he would not.

For Your Consideration: Peter was overconfident in his faith and lacking in what? How can we guard against deserting Christ in our lives?

ship with Jesus needs to be strengthened. There will be high points when through His faithfulness Jesus is answering our prayers. But on the other hand, there will be low points when we succumb to sin. In the low times, we must remember that, like Peter, God’s grace can help us to recover and once again follow the Lord. It is imperative that we remember the truth of God’s grace, especially during times of trouble, as we say.

We can easily be caught off guard by the lure of sin and made to stumble.

But no matter the sin - be commission or omission - there is always hope until we give up hope. God’s unconditional forgiveness is what ultimately enables us to continue our faithful walk with Him. (David C. Cook, Bible Lesson Commentary 2015-16)

Kernersville Elementary on Fire for reading

Two students show off their brand new Kindle Fire HD devices from Amazon.

Amazon also donated $1,200 in books, learning applications and other content.

March is National Reading Month.

BY KIM UNDERWOOD WINSTON-SALEM/FORSYTH COUNTY SCHOOLS

When Kernersville Elementary students headed to the media center this morning, all they knew was that a surprise awaited them.

And quite a surprise it turned out to be.

Representatives from Amazon were there with a table loaded with Amazon boxes. When students were invited to open the boxes and see what was inside, they found one Kindle Fire HD tablet after another – 75 of them by the time all the boxes were opened.

A Kindle is Amazon’s hand-held device for reading books. Each of the Kindles was loaded with Dr. Seuss’ “Oh, the Places You’ll Go!,” and, after a Kindle was given to each student, the Amazon representatives gathered with small groups of students and read the book to them.

“I think it was really nice of them to give us 75 Kindles,” said fifth-grader Anyrah White.

“I’m going to play a game and read a Bible,” said fourth-grader Christian Nesbitt.

“It’s nice,” said fourth-grader Janeice Harper, who plans to grow up to become

President of the United States. In the meantime, she enjoys reading about such celebrities as Taylor Swift.

Dana Routh, the school’s lead financial secretary, said, “I am overwhelmed by their generosity for our students.”

“I just want to thank Amazon for the opportunities they are bestowing on our students,” said Principal Shane O’Neal.

The Kindles are for the use of students in the school’s Exceptional Children (EC) program. The gift includes $1,200 in books, learning applications and other content for the tablets. Amanda Ip, a spokesperson for Amazon who flew in from Seattle for the presentation, said that with National Reading Month coming up in March, they thought it would be a good time to make the donation.

“To kick off National Reading Month, we are very proud to be donating these Kindle tablets to really help enhance the learning experience for these exceptional children and ignite their love of reading,” Ip said.

EC teacher Sharyn Prescott said she thinks that the Kindles will help students become more enthusiastic about reading.

“This is one more way to engage them,” said EC teacher assistant Christie Vandervelde. “Kids are all about their

devices.”

Those on hand for the announcement also included Dana Caudill Jones, the chair of the Winston-Salem/Forsyth Board of Education; A. L. “Buddy” Collins, a former WS/FC school board member who now serves on the N.C. State Board of Education; and Dawn Morgan, the mayor of Kernersville.

“This is fantastic for the community – a wonderful opportunity,” Jones said. “We are very thankful to Amazon and their partnership with Kernersville Elementary School.”

Collins sees it as a wonderful example of a business, community and school working together for the benefit of children and he hopes to see more such examples across the state.

“I’m excited about the opportunity for these students to use the latest technologies to learn and to improve their reading,” Morgan said. “I’m grateful that Amazon is taking this interest in the education of these students.

Morgan also talked about how wonderful reading is. “When you pick up a book, you can go to an imaginary world,” she said.

Reading can also teach you all about the world and help you acquire the skills

you need to find a satisfactory job, she said.

Kernersville Elementary is the only school in North Carolina receiving such a gift. It was chosen in part because of the diversity of its student body and in part because it serves students with special needs, Ip said.

The connection with Kernersville Elementary was made through Brad Stanbery, a site leader for Amazon in North Carolina. “We believe it’s important to give back to the community we live in,” Stanbery said when he spoke before the students opened the boxes.

His wife, Becky, is a kindergarten teacher assistant at the school, and their daughter, Larkin, is in third grade there.

“I love everything about this school,” Becky Stanbery said. “Everybody is so friendly and outgoing. I love the diversity.”

Larkin, who knows that she wants a career that enables her to work with babies when she grows up, likes going to Kernersville Elementary.

“All the people who work here are really nice,” Larkin said. “When you are having trouble with something, they try to help you.”

Post Civil-War love story is slow T H E C H R ON I C LE

BY TERRI SCHLICHENMEYER FOR THE CHRONICLE

Editor’s note: March is National Women’s History Month.

After a long day, nothing makes you feel better – especially when you pair soft tunes with hot bath and solitude. You might even add a glass of something tasty and a novel you’ve been dying to read. But in the new book “Balm� by Dolen PerkinsValdez, the only thing that soothes is forgiveness and restitution.

Moving to Chicago had never been part of Sadie’s plan.

She’d supposed, instead, that she’d live in Pennsylvania after the Civil War ended, and go on with her life as though there was never any war. Her parents had seen things differently, however: she was hastily married to a wealthy man she barely knew because it was safer that way.

Sam purchased a house in Chicago, furnished it, and hired staff in anticipation of having a wife to display; Sadie might have even fallen in love with him, had he not been killed in a train accident.

She couldn’t mourn; she barely knew Sam, which made the staff uncomfortable. As they deserted her, Sadie knew she needed a maid. The voice in her head – an insistent voice

that said he was a soldier once – sent her to Madge.

Born to a woman who was more interested in being a root doctor than in being a mother, Madge left h e r Tennessee home as a teenager – unloved by her Mama but knowing how to use plants and seeds to heal.

Perkins-Veidez She couldn’t say she liked working for Sadie, but assisting with sÊances left Madge with plenty of time to build her apothecary and a little business. It also gave her guilty time to spend with Hemp Harrison, who said he was a married man.

Long before the day when raggedy Rebel soldiers came down the plantation road looking for trouble, Hemp had fallen for Annie, and they married. Though he’d done something unthinkable, he loved her so much; after she was sold away in chains, he vowed to find her and make things right. With the War over, it was said that “millions� of former

MARCH17, 2016

slaves had somehow landed in Chicago but was Annie among them?

Was it right to move on without her?

Set during America’s spiritualist movement of the post-Civil War years, “Balm� is a bit of surprise: it’s not exactly a love story, not exactly a ghost story, not exactly a novel of amends. It’s closer to all three, and that only works sometimes.

While it’s true that author Dolen Perkins-Valdez writes with extraordinary beauty, those flowingly gorgeous words can slow the story down, which often mars the romantic aspect of it. I enjoyed the ghostly storyline – I found it interesting and accurate, but the spirit’s brother annoyed me beyond all reason and left me feeling restless.

This isn’t a terrible book, no. It’s slow, but it has three great main characters going for it and the overall authenticity will make historical novel fans happy. But if you’re looking for something snappier and with more finality, “Balm� just won’t do it for you.

Terri Schlichenmeyer has been reading since she was 3 years old and she never goes anywhere without a book. She lives on a hill in Wisconsin with two dogs and 14,000 books.

Learn about your colorectal cancer risk MAYA ANGELOU CENTER FOR HEALTH EQUITY SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer found in adults. The American Cancer Society (ACS) estimates that more than 134,000 new cases of CRC will be diagnosed in 2016, and approximately 50,000 people will die from the disease. In North Carolina, African-Americans accounted for nearly 25 percent of CRC deaths in 2014. African-Americans are 20 percent more likely to be diagnosed with CRC and 45 percent more likely to die from the disease compared to whites.

African-Americans are also more likely to be diagnosed at later stages compared to whites.

The risk of developing colorectal cancer increases with age. In fact, more than 90 percent of colorectal cancer cases occur in persons aged 50 years or older.

CRC is one of the most common types of cancer diagnosed; however, the number of people developing and dying from colorectal cancer has been decreasing each year. This decrease is largely due to successful screening tests that allow for the discovery and removal of pre-cancerous growths (polyps) before they turn into cancer. Early detection and treatment can lead to improved medical outcomes.

The colon and rectum are part of the digestive system (often called gas-

trointestinal, or GI, system) Colorectal cancer usually develops slowly over a period of years from the cells lining the inside of the colon and rectum. Risk factors that contribute to the development of colorectal cancer include: *Family history of colorectal cancer or polyps, inflammatory bowel disease, or certain hereditary diseases *Personal history of inflammatory bowel disease *Age 50 years old or greater *Racial and Ethnic background – AfricanAmericans who have these risk factors, especially those who are age 50 or older, are at an even greater risk of developing colorectal cancer. *Lifestyle factors such as lack of exercise, poor diet, obesity, and alcohol and tobacco use contribute to an increased risk of CRC. *People with Type 2 Diabetes have an increased risk of developing CRC Routine screening for colorectal cancer is crucial for early detection. The ACS recommends that, beginning at age 50, both men and women have a yearly stool blood test (a test to find small amounts of hidden blood in the stool), plus one of the following exams: *Flexible sigmoidoscopy (a procedure that allows the doctor to look at the inside of the rectum and part of the colon) every 5 years. *Double contrast barium enema (a series of Xrays of the colon and rec-

Law enforcement agencies, the ABC Commission, DMV License and Theft, local ABC Boards and prevention coalitions are increasing their focus on preventing underage drinking.

A crucial part of this intensified focus includes providing training programs to further educate ABC permit holders on proper alcohol sales.

Recently, sellers and servers in the greater Triad area participated in two of these training seminars hosted by the N.C. ABC Commission and the Coalition for Drug Abuse Prevention.

During the training, participants learned how to spot fake IDs and eliminate

sales to underage and intoxicated drinkers.

These training seminars align with the goal of the N.C. ABC Commission’s Talk It Out Campaign, a statewide initiative targeting underage drinking in North Carolina. “Underage drinking has had an enormous impact across the state. And if we’re going to sell alcohol in North Carolina, we have a responsibility to address the underage drinking problem,� said Jim Gardner, chairman of the N.C. ABC Commission.

Following these training seminars, North Carolina Alcohol Law Enforcement (ALE) and local law enforcement in Forsyth County may intensify enforcement efforts. For more information visit, http://www.talkitoutnc.org.

If you have a family history of colorectal cancer, you may need to be screened at a younger age.

You should also see a physician immediately if you have any of the following symptoms: *Change in bowel habits such as diarrhea, constipation, or narrowing of the stool that lasts for more than a few days *Feeling of needing to have a bowel movement that doesn't go away after doing so *Bleeding from the rec-

tum or blood in the stool *Cramping or steady stomach pain *Unexplained weakness, fatigue and/or weight loss Having these symptoms does not necessarily mean that you have cancer, but you should be evaluated to be sure. Early detection through standard screening tests greatly improves the likelihood

that it will be cured.
