Volume 43, Number 38

BY FELECIA PIGGOTT-LONG FOR THE CHRONICLE

More than 1,000 Christians and Muslims attended the historical morning worship service at Emmanuel Baptist Church on Sunday, May 22, during which the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan brought the morning message.

The Rev. Dr. John Mendez had invited Farrakhan to his pulpit at Emmanuel.

Farrakhan’s message was on the topic of leadership. The

sanctuary was charged with a unique spiritual energy when Mendez invited Christians to stand and greet the Muslims seated next to them.

Farrakhan embraced Mendez and other Emmanuel Church members in brotherly and sisterly love. Christian women praised Muslim women’s head pieces and the Impress garments they wore.

Smiles abounded around the room. Muslim women praised

the African attire or the colorful hats the Christian women wore.

The men greeted one another in unity with handshakes and hugs.

Music provided a dynamic backdrop to this spirited tapestry. The EBC Hand Bell Choir performed the hymn “Blessed Assurance.” Gloria Swindell led the choir in singing “God Is,” and Director of Music Rochelle Joyner rendered an See Fellowship on A2

Businessman Joe L.Dudley celebrates birthday and raises funds for museum T H E C H R ON I C LE

A 2 M AY 2 6 , 2 0 1 6

BY TIMOTHY RAMSEY FOR THE CHRONICLE

A black tie gala was held in honor of the legendary founder of Dudley products, Joe L. Dudley Sr., and late Chicago-based business tycoon and civic leader, S.B. Fuller, on Sunday May, 22. The gala was an effort to raise funds for the construction of the Fuller-Dudley Entrepreneurship Museum and to celebrate Dudley's 79th birthday.

Dudley started his company with “$10 and a dream” and is the best-selling author of “Walking by Faith.” His company is the only third-generation black-owned business in the country.

“It’s all about entrepreneurship, helping our people become job makers and not job takers,” said John Raye,

organ solo of “A Mighty Fortress is Our God.” Imam Effrianguan Muhammad, representative of Farrakhan for the Winston-Salem Local Organizing Committee, observed the significance of this interfaith gathering.

“I have never witnessed such a gathering before in Winston-Salem. Muslims and Christians were encouraged to get up and embrace each other. I have never experienced that before,” said Muhammad.

“I have only experienced this with our great friend and pastor Dr. John Mendez and his friend and brother, the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan.

Because the love was genuine, it literally brought tears to my eyes.”

“This is something we have always desired, that black Muslims and black Christians can come together in genuine love.

This was an example of what genuine Christian love and interfaith dialogue should look like,” said Muhammad.

Mendez was elated and

overjoyed that this extended family had come together.

“This day is like a miracle to me. Only God could have made this possible.

There is a preacher in the house. I am honored to present someone I have known most of my life.

Growing up in Harlem and on 116th Street, where the mosque was located, I often passed by, and Minister Farrakhan would always take time to talk to me,” said Mendez.

“When I was student body president at Shaw University, I invited Minister Farrakhan there to speak to the student body.

This morning, I bring him again to Emmanuel Baptist Church,” Mendez said.

“He has been a voice for the oppressed, a prophet to this land. He taught all of us how to stand for justice, for truth. He taught us how to deal with persecution and rejection and still come out on top. I present one of the greatest orators in America, in the world. The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan.”

Before Farrakhan took the stand, Willie Johnson, a junior at Carver High

publicist for Dudley. “The whole idea is to empower black people to go into business for themselves. So the point of the Fuller-Dudley Institute of Entrepreneurship is designed to encourage people to become business-minded individuals.”

Raye stated that they plan to not use loans or grants from the government, but to raise the funds themselves to build the museum. He also stated that there are plans to have the museums all across the country in an effort to teach entrepreneurship.

“I am very honored to be in the presence of Mr. Dudley,” said Dr. Jackie Mayfield, owner of Comprotax and long-time friend of Dudley. “It’s all about what we do for the community and not for ourselves. It’s gonna take us being self determined as a people to get out of the quagmire that we are in. And it’s gonna take people who have

School, dedicated an original poem in Farrakhan’s honor. The poem is titled “What is a Leader?” The final lines of the poem are: “And so, Minister Farrakhan, continue to stay strong./ Because God always knew that you were the greatest leader in the world/ Before you were born.”

Farrakhan thanked Johnson for the poem, and extended a charge to him that he become the leader that he wrote about.

“In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. We give Him praise and thanks. … As Salaam Alaikum. Peace be unto you. I want to first apologize to you. You have never been to church and been searched,” said Farrakhan.

“I can imagine the trauma you went through.

Martin Luther King’s mother was shot down in church. Pastors have been killed while they preached.

They did not search. Eight black people were shot down during Bible Study.

We even need to search the preacher,” Farrakhan said.

“I am honored beyond words to be here today.

Muslims and Christians are worshipping together in a time when Muslims, Christians and Jews are killing each other in different parts of the world.

There is peace, love, brotherhood among us. Surely, God has made us an example for the entire world,” Farrakhan said.

Farrakhan attended Winston-Salem State University (WSSU) in 1955. At that time, his name was Louis Eugene Walcott. He had mastered the violin as his instrument of choice, and in 1993, he returned to Winston-Salem to perform the Mendolsson Concerto in the Gateways Music Festival held at Reynolds Auditorium “I am honored to be here in Winston-Salem. I came South on a scholarship to Winston-Salem Teachers’ College. It was at that College that the profound love of black people was planted in my being,” said Farrakhan. “I remember climbing all of those steps to go see a movie at the Carolina Theatre. We were treated as secondclassed citizens just to see a movie. Don’t tell me about the Confederate flag. All

Dudley done it before to show the younger professionals how it is done. With the enthusiasm of the younger individuals, mixed with the wisdom of the older folk, I think we can do quite well.”

The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan was also in attendance as a keynote speaker in an effort to raise funds and close out the historic event.

According to Raye, this is just step one in the plans to be able to reach people from coast to coast.

the hell we are catching – we are catching it under the American flag.

“How can they have a preacher except they be sent? The Doctrine of Liberation. Is it taught in these theological cemeteries of Great America? They do not degree you to come out and free your people from their grip,” Farrakhan said. “God has to intervene.

God has to raise up men and women who know God is. When you know God is the strength and the joy of your life, how can you walk away like a coward suffering inhumanities and not speak up about it?” he said.

Farrakhan spoke out about the homicides that occur when black males kill each other. Some of these murders are associated with gangsta rap.

“When brothers kill one another, the root of this crisis is the lack of knowledge of self, lack of love for self.

Out of this roots comes lying, slander, murder, backbiting, betrayal of our people.”

We need to replace that root with a new paradigm.

We can tell we have passed from death to life because we love the brethren.”

“Hip-hop is a part of a cultural evolution of the revolution that brought gospel, jazz, blues, music that brought us to where we are. Gangsta rap begins to use music to glorify and honor a life of drugs, crime, the B-word, violence. HipHop, when it started, was a way to put wisdom in a rap with a beat. David said praise God with the psaltery and the harp.

Praise Him on the loud cymbals. Praise Him with the dance. All things are to be done in praise to God. If hip-hop moves toward that direction, it can lift us rather than degrade us,” said Farrakhan.

“I was most impressed with my university, WSSU. It is wonderful the things they have done to evolve WSSU. I am pleased with the direction the chancellor and staff are taking. I would say there is hope.

“I hope our young people will get self-determined to do something for themselves so that they will not have to lie down at the foot of white men begging to be blessed. I am very grateful for the opportunity to be invited by my friend and brother Rev. Mendez,” Farrakhan said.

“Every decision you make and every action you take is designing the life you deserve.”

Smith said what she will cherish most about her time spent at Salem is the family atmosphere.

“Everybody here is really friendly and the professors are always willing to help,” she said. “That family atmosphere is something you can’t get anywhere else.”

Education major from Lexington Danielle Beck said she plans to use her degree to become a teacher as well. Beck said she always dreamed of becoming a teacher and walking across the stage is something she has worked long and hard for.

“Today marks the end of a long journey,” Beck said with a smile.

Annual Black and White Gala held to raise funds for travel abroad program T H E C H R ON I C LE

BY TEVIN STINSON THE CHRONICLE

The gymnasium of Carter G. Woodson School (CGWS) was filled with fun and excitement last Friday night as dozens came out to celebrate the school’s 19th anniversary.

Donning their best evening attire, elected officials, community leaders, and other supporters of the school came together for a night of dancing, dining, and entertainment. The memorable event known as the Black and White Gala is designed to raise funds for the school’s study/travel abroad program.

Every summer CGWS

sends students to the continent of Africa to learn and connect with those native to the second largest continent on the planet.

On past trips to the “motherland,” students visited Tanzania, Kenya, Arusha, Dar es Salam, and Zanzibar. While on their visit, students have the opportunity to create different types of art such as paintings, drawings, and even poems, while interacting with students from Africa.

CGWS founder Hazel Mack said the main goal of the trip is to get students thinking about their purpose in life and where they fit in the world. She men-

tioned it also allows students to connect with their roots and learn more about their heritage.

More than 59 percent of students at CGWS are African-American.

“Traveling to Africa teaches the students more than they could ever get in a classroom,” said Mack.

“Most importantly, after the trip students understand how much God has blessed them.”

Junior Tiara Logan who traveled to Tanzania last summer said since the trip, she values the life she has here in America a lot more.

She said the things she experienced while in Africa are something she

will remember for the rest of her life. She noted what really opened her eyes was the lack of assistance people in Africa receive from the government.

“I value life a lot more since the trip,” she continued. “In Africa, government assistance is not an option people really don’t have in some places and it’s really sad.”

“Since visiting Africa, I now give 100 percent effort in everything I do in the classroom and at home.”

Junior Christopher Price echoed Logan’s statements. He said, “Unlike America where we have corruption and corrupt peo-

ple, on the continent of Africa everyone is working towards the common goal of becoming better people.

“Everybody is just trying to better themselves,” he said, “That’s what I enjoyed most about the trip, that peaceful atmosphere and connecting with the people.”

According to school officials, this year students will travel to Kenya and Tanzania. For more information on Carter G. Woodson School or the travel abroad program, visit the school’s official website at www.cartergwoodsonschool.org.

Experts say build trust, prepare for worst with mental illness Editor’s note: May is Mental Health Awareness Month.

BY TEVIN STINSON THE CHRONICLE

Many people in the community are affected by mental health issues in some way. A friend, loved one, or colleague probably has struggled with a disorder at some point in time.

Statistics show in 2014, one in five American adults experienced a mental health issue. At the same point in time, one in 25 lived with a serious mental illness, such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or major depression.

With that said, mental health is still a topic that people rarely discuss openly which has led to a number of misconceptions and myths.

Last Thursday, the Winston-Salem Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, the Phi Omega Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, and the Psi Phi Chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity joined forces to dispel some of those myths when they hosted “Let’s Talk About It,” a community mental health forum and

panel discussion.

During the forum held inside R.J. Reynolds Auditorium on the campus of Winston-Salem State University, a panel of healthcare professionals and caretakers, scholars, and other community stakeholders sat down to discuss mental illness and treatment options.

The panel also featured those who have been directly affected by a mental illness.

Moderator for the event, assistant professor of sociology and criminal studies at Salem College Dr. Kimya Dennis, started the conversation by asking panelists to define mental illness in their own words.

President of the Northwest Piedmont Chapter of National Alliance of Mental Illness Louise Whealton said, “When it comes to mental health, I try to take a holistic approach to what needs to occur.”

“Sometimes that means education and other times that means treatment.”

When asked about the short-term and long-term effects of mental illness, Kathy Cunningham said when diagnosed with a mental illness, you are treated with little respect.

Cunningham noted when she was diagnosed with serve depression and bipo-

Happy Hill Cemetery cleanup continues after storm wreaks havoc

BY TODD LUCK THE CHRONICLE

Cleanup efforts continue at the historic Happy Hill Cemetery after a recent storm hit the area hard.

The Happy Hill Cemetery Friends has been working for the last seven years to clean up the cemetery that had been in disrepair for decades. The old cemetery is located at the corner of Willow and Pitts Street, with a lower section that’s now covered in forest off Free Street. Weeds that at times were taller than the people clearing them, have been cut out of the upper portion of it, revealing many graves that now bear flowers from loved ones and flags honoring veterans. But a recent storm has left large parts of trees littering the cemetery.

On Saturday, it was just Maurice Pitts Johnson, who started the clean-up efforts, and volunteer David Gall clearing the debris. Gall picked up smaller branches and used a hack saw to cut some of the larger ones into pieces he could carry. Neither owns a chainsaw that was needed to cut the largest branches. Since it’s private property, the city can’t clean it up, but can pick up branches left on the side of the road, which formed a large five-foot tall pile at the cemetery’s edge.

Johnson said the amount of help varies during the cleanups held twice a month. Sometimes it’s just her and Gall who come out.

“We’ve had some groups to come out and help us from time to time, but it’s not a steady flow of

volunteers,” said Johnson.

Gall, a member of Preserve Historic Forsyth, said Johnson came to one of the group’s meetings seven years ago looking for volunteers to help with the cleanup. He said he’s been volunteering ever since.

“I just felt like it was a

worthy project,” said Gall, who is an architect whose projects often involve historic preservation. “I came out here the first time and saw how much work there was to do and we’ve been persistent ever since, clearing the cemetery and making it presentable.”

Over the years, they’ve had many volunteers and groups to help, including Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in Clemmons, the WinstonSalem Jaycees, the Liberian Organization of the Piedmont, and Wake Forest University history students. The near-by Rising Ebenezer Baptist Church has been active in the cleanup and one of its

members regularly mows the cemetery. Johnson is currently working with the Wake Forest Community and Business Law Clinic to change ownership of the land to Rising Ebenizer, which has entailed a long legal process since the churches that originally owned the property no longer exist.

Johnson’s grandparents, Columbus and Alice Pitts, and great-grandmother, Matilda Simmons, are buried there. Columbus Pitts was an early land owner in Happy Hill, who the nearby Pitts Street is named after. She said she was inspired to begin cleaning up the cemetery when she tried to take her grandson to the cemetery, but found the weeds hid her grandparent’s grave marker.

“I wanted to show my grandson where it was and it was so overgrown I couldn’t find it,” she said.

The oldest grave in the cemetery found so far is that of Jerry Swepson who was buried in 1901. The cemetery is believed to have more than 113 people buried there. There were more than that before 1965, when construction of U.S. 52 cut through the cemetery, causing graves to be moved to a cemetery in Walkertown near Oak Grove Baptist Church.

The next cleanup is this Saturday, May 28, at 9:30 a.m. Regular cleanups are the second and fourth Saturday of each month at 9:30 a.m. Volunteers are encouraged to bring gloves, chainsaws and other yard tools. For more information, contact Maurice Pitts Johnson at 336- 815-8417.

lar disorder in 1996, her life changed forever. Not only did she lose her job shortly after being diagnosed, Cunningham mentioned when people find out that she has been diagnosed with a mental illness, that’s all they see.

“You are treated with so little respect,” she said. “When they look at your medical records, bi-polar is what they see first. Not my heart attack or my diabetes, but bipolar, and that’s the way they treated me.”

Cunningham mentioned the disrespect is something she has to deal with every day.

According to experts on the topic, Cunningham’s treatment from peers, family members and even doctors is nothing new for those dealing with a mental illness. Founder of Our Brother Legion, an interfaith organization which seeks to educate the community to help reduce stigma on behalf of people living with mental illness, trauma and addiction, Reverend Beth Cantrell said the people she knows with a mental illness has the worst medical stories.

While she admits at times it’s not easy, Cantrell encouraged those who need help to go to the doctor.

“If you are sick or need help, go to the

doctor,” she continued. “You will find ways to cope, but be prepared because it can be worse than you ever imagined.”

Others who participated in the panel discussion included executive director of the Mental Health Association of Forsyth County (MHAFC) Andy Hagler, WinstonSalem/Forsyth County Schools (WSFCS) program manager Kathy Jordan, licensed professional counselor Mary Jane McGill, WSFCS director of psychological services Corliss Thompson-Drew, and qualified healthcare professional Yolanda McArthur.

Hagler, who has been with MHAFC since 1997, mentioned a number of programs offered in Forsyth County that offer help for those dealing with mental illness and their families. According to Hagler, MHAFC offers support groups, crisis intervention team (CIT) training, and mental health awareness campaigns, just to name a few.

Hagler noted while seeking help may not work every time with every situation, it is important to try to see if it works. He said it all begins with trust.

“Mental illness is real and very common, but it can be treated,” he said. “We have to build that trust.”

Malloy/Jordan library branch celebrated with historic marker Last Saturday, a marker was unveiled honoring the Malloy/Jordan East Winston Heritage Center located on East Seventh Street. The mission of the library branch is to preserve African-American heritage, history, and culture.

BY TEVIN STINSON THE CHRONICLE

Last weekend elected officials and other community leaders unveiled a historic marker honoring a library branch that was built to serve the East Winston community more than 60 years ago.

Since the early 1950s, the Malloy/Jordan East Winston Heritage Center, formerly known as the East Winston Branch Library, has provided a place for residents to go and get resources from the African-American perspective.

During the unveiling ceremony, Carl E. Leak, a member of the Forsyth County Historic Resources Commission, said the maker placed outside the branch on East Seventh Street will help residents remem-

ber history and build excitement for the future.

Leak mentioned the marker not only celebrates the library, but the people who made it possible.

The land the 5,800-square foot building stands on, was donated by Dr. H.D. Malloy, Sr., his son Dr. H. Rembert Malloy, and Dr. J.C. Jordan, AfricanAmerican doctors who saw the need to bring a library to the heart of the East Winston area. The branch faces Kate B. Reynolds Memorial Hospital where the doctors worked. Better known as “Katie B,” the hospital was the first publicly operated facility to treat African-Americans in the city.

“This marker not only tells a story of a building but of people as well,” said Leak.

“I stand in awe here today recognizing the importance of a library in this community and the people who made it possible.”

Council member Derwin Montgomery said when he thinks about the M/JEWHC, what stands out to him is the heritage and history it represents. He said the branch tells a story that continues to be told today.

“As we continue to move forward, this isn’t something we will look back and celebrate, but something we celebrate in the past, present and future,” he said.

Montgomery noted, although we have a lot to be grateful for and celebrate, we must look toward the future and recognize the opportunity that still exists for the library in East Winston.

“The future is embodied by the past we celebrate here today,” he continued. “We

have to continue to ask ourselves what is next to ensure that this heritage lives on.”

Today, M/JEWHC has nearly 5,000 registered borrowers and offers a number of programs including the Red Stiletto Book Club, Shades of Forsyth oral history program, and story time training for preschool educators. The branch is also home of the Children’s Outreach Department of the Library System.

Forsyth County Public Library Director Sylvia Sprinkle-Hamlin said over the years M/JEWHC has gone through many challenges, but thanks to the community and dedicated staff, the branch is still standing.

“This is our place, “ she continued.

“This is where our history is and we need to make sure it stays here.”

Rulings make June 7 primary real important

It seems as though we have just been through this.

It’s time for another primary election. Early voting starts today at the Forsyth County Government Center, 201 N. Chestnut Street, Winston-Salem.

This time, the ballot is not as long, but is pretty important. Voters are asked to choose Democratic and Republican nominees for the 5th Congressional District. We also must choose a state Supreme Court judge in a non-partisan primary. (See pages A8 and A9 for a guide to the candidates.) Both elections are a result of rulings in lawsuits.

A federal court ruling earlier this year shot down two previous congressional districts in North Carolina, saying they were drawn with too many minorities in them, which violated the constitutional rights of minorities. Districts 1 and 12 were affected.

Much of the east side of Winston-Salem was in District 12. Now all of Forsyth County is in the 5th District, which is why we must vote in the new district on June 7. The congressional maps were redrawn.

Another federal court ruling on May 6 struck down a 2015 law that let an incumbent, elected justice seek re-election to another eight-year term without a challenger. That means the June 7 primary for a

seat on the court will go on as planned. There are four candidates running for one seat. The two candidates with the highest votes in the primary advance to the general election.

The elections are important because House members in Congress help decide important issues, such as whether to restore the 1965 Voting Rights Act to a form that will help disenfranchised people. The state Supreme Court makes rulings on appeals of laws and issues that could change lives, such as the retentionlaw ruling. The law was not upheld because of a 3-3 tie in the state Supreme Court. The incumbent judge up for re-election, Justice Bob Edmunds, didn't participate in the decision or listen to arguments the court heard in April, The Associated Press reported.

We point out that Michael Morgan of Raleigh is an African-American superior court judge who is running for the Supreme Court seat. That is important enough to vote in the June 7 primary.

Don’t forget your proper ID so that your vote will count.

The N.C. State Board of Elections says: One stop early voting for the June 7 primary begins on May 26 and ends at 1 p.m. on Saturday, June 4. Some counties may not be open on the first weekend, or Monday, May 30 (Memorial Day).

Tuesday, May 31 is the regular deadline to request an absentee ballot by mail for June 7 primary.

Monday, June 6, is the military and overseas deadline for board of elections receipt of voter registration and absentee ballot requests.

Tuesday, June 7, is Primary Election Day (polls open at 6:30 a.m. and close at 7:30 p.m.). Civilian absentee ballot deadline: voted absentee ballots must be delivered to the Appropriate county elections office by 5 p.m. on this day. However, such ballots postmarked on or before Election Day will be accepted through Friday, June 10. Military and overseas absentee ballots are accepted until 5 p.m. on June 13 if cast and sent by Election Day.

This scholarship fundraising event, sponsored by Winston-Salem State University National Alumni Association, is an effort to raise money for students to attend WSSU and make their dreams come true.

Therefore, I seek your support.

Winston-Salem State University was there for me over 35 years ago when my dreams were launched. I am proud to be a Winston-Salem State University Ram! The great education and experiences provided me at WSSU launched me into a career path from primary reading teaching to administration in Winston-Salem/ Forsyth County Schools. As a token of my gratitude, I am eager and ready to work to give back, and that is why I have decided to seek the candidacy.

The crowning of Mr. and Miss Alumni 2016 will take place during the Homecoming festivities in October.

On behalf of the Miss WSSU Alumni Campaign, I am seeking corporate, business and individual support to win this crown, but most of all, to support future Rams. The sponsors, ads and patrons will be printed in the 2016 Homecoming Souvenir Journal.

As an ambassador for WSSU, with your financial support, we will be “Linked together in unity. Serving together with purpose.”

Tax deductible donations may be checks or money orders, made payable to: Winston-Salem State University National Alumni Association or WSSUNAA (Memo line: Valeria Edwards) Mail to: Valeria Edwards, P O. Box 222, Spencer, VA 24165 Deadline: Must be received by Aug. 1.

John Larson should get your support for City Council To the Editor:

I am a South Ward resident writing in support of John Larson’s campaign for City Council. His name will appear on the ballot in the primary election on June 7, with early voting starting on May 26.

John has lived in Winston-Salem for 40 years and bought his current home in the late 1970s, just in time to restore the building before the city tore it down. This captures a lot of John’s spirit. He believes in the future of Winston and looks for practical ways to make our city a better place to live.

John has served on the board of Keep Winston Beautiful for over 15 years and has done a lot of work to clean the streams and waterways connected to our drinking water.

Dragging litter and tires out of creeks is not glamorous work, but it is important work. John’s humility and commitment to service will be an asset to the City Council.

When I met John, a friend told me he had been involved in the restoration of the famous Shellshaped Service Station on Sprague Street. What I didn’t find out until later is that he also volunteered time to help with the restoration of Lloyd Presbyterian [at 748 Chestnut St.], the oldest historically black church still worshipping in its original building and location in the county.

My own work includes teaching Christian history and theology; that John helped preserve a building so central to Winston’s religious and cultural heritage really impressed me.

With 40 years of roots and hard work in a community, John Larson is more than an activist. He’s a fixture, a pillar. Elect him to the City Council and we will gain an experienced advocate with a real vision for

how to build a stronger South Ward, a better Winston.

On June 7, in South Ward, vote for passionate Carolyn Highsmith To the Editor:

Voters in the South Ward are lucky to have the opportunity to vote for Carolyn Highsmith for City Council on June 7.

Carolyn is a truly worthy candidate. Her record shows her to be a long-time passionate and effective advocate for the community.

For years, Carolyn has organized w neighborhood watch groups and has t been a grassroots leader in improv- t ing public safety and crime preven- a tion. She has been instrumental in t the re-landscaping of West o Clemmonsville Road, has helped deal with the proliferation of m unwanted sweepstakes businesses in g our neighborhood, and spoken out for her ward on tax reappraisal and y our area plan. i Carolyn is not merely involved in y these and other important issues but p has taken the lead. n In addition, Carolyn is an advocate for more public and green space f in the South Ward. These areas pro- t vide a place to enjoy nature, gather f with other residents, play sports, and provide habitat for wildlife. The m South Ward needs more of both of e these types of spaces. h Unfortunately, the 2014 Forsyth e County Bond will not improve this t situation. Of the $30,850,000 allo- o cated to recreation in this bond, the South Ward received only $500,000, a 1.6 percent of the total. Currently, g the only greenway that runs through e the South Ward, Salem Creek a Greenway, is not close to the majori- q ty of South Ward residents. b Voters in the South Ward deserve a better representation! Please vote for Carolyn Highsmith on June 7. o Lois Schneider Winston Salem m t u a

Unmarried mothers can make a difference in Over half of all babies born in the US today are born to u n m a r r i e d Guest mothers, a Columnist demographic trend with tremendous potential to reshape public policy for the better.

Unmarried motherhood has economic implications for families and children that we should expect to surface in this year’s coming election. Not only should we expect increased clamor for progress on wages, paid leave, affordable childcare and other policies that level the playing field for women in the workplace, but reproductive health and rights will be front and center as the lynchpin of women’s economic security.

It’s clearer than ever that the decision of when and how many children women have is determinative when it comes to their financial security and family stability.

Significant work remains to transform the economy into one that works for today’s families.

More than half of unmarried young mothers with children under the age of 6 live below the poverty line; that’s five

times the number of married women with children. In addition:

*Almost 50 percent of the 3.3 million adult Americans earning minimum wage or below are unmarried women. *58 percent of all children living in poverty live in single-parent households, most often led by an unmarried mother.

Among unmarried women, black, Latina and Native American women face greater challenges than white women when it comes to earnings, wealth, health

care access and other indicators. AfricanAmerican women made 64 percent, American Indian and Alaska Native women made 59 percent, and Hispanic women made just 54 percent of what white men make in the U.S. The number of unmarried new moms is increasing most rapidly among non-college educated women who are also most impacted by economic downturns, stagnant wages in low-wage industries, lack of access to health care including reproductive health services, as well as antiquated workplace standards that leave most working women without affordable child care,

earned sick days or paid family leave.

2016 will be a landmark election year for women, the majority of them working moms. For the first time, unmarried women will outnumber married women as a share of the voting age electorate.

Although getting these women to the polls is a challenge, unmarried women potentially have an even bigger role in determining the future direction of our country than in 2012, when they made up over one-fifth of the electorate.

Unmarried women are the largest segment of the New American Majority – a set of voters who tend to participate less frequently in elections but who tend to support populist economic and social issues as well as a robust role for government in ensuring fairness, opportunity and safety.

Unmarried moms play an increasingly central role in securing the future of our economy and our elections. With that role comes tremendous opportunity to advance policies that don’t just help them and their families, but make our country better for everyone. That’s something we should all celebrate.

High School graduates are poised to make a difference James B. Ewers Jr.

Guest Columnist

It is that time of year when high school graduations will be front and center. These festive events are filled with congratulations, high fives and tears of joy.

It is my opinion that in many ways, the high school graduation is a rite of passage. It signals that a young person has crossed into adulthood. The many years of late nights, writing papers and taking copious notes have all paid off.

Students will have many fond memories of field trips, club affiliations and favorite teachers. Some students will graduate with multiple honors while others are happy just to finish high school. The common element among them all is that they are now members of the class of 2016.

Parties and receptions are held in honor of the graduates. They are toasted and roasted and all have a good time. The lurking question in the minds of both graduates and parents alike is, what is the next step after high school?

Let’s take a quick tour of the available options.

First and foremost, we must make the assumption that new high school graduates will want to take another step. It is my strong belief that doing nothing is not an option.

Parents will agree. Many high school graduates will enter college either during the summer or the fall of this year and some high school graduates already have earned some college credits. What is important, I think, for students going to college is that they really want to go. It sounds simple but it is true. I will say more on that later.

The academic bar is raised and more is expected of you. Late nights writing papers will turn into later nights.

Deadlines for receiving papers will be listed in the all-important

syllabus that you will receive from your teacher at the first class meeting.

There are some high school graduates who have trouble adjusting to college because they were accustomed to getting assignments done at the last minute. I speak from my experience both as a college student and as a college teacher that this strategy does not work. You will only meet with frustration and failure.

Going to college for the right reasons is also extremely important.

Going to college to be with your friends, to escape real work or because your parents “forced” you to go will probably not keep you in college. The rigors and demands of college are such that you will have to stay focused.

Increasingly, there are more students coming out of high school who want a position with training. The most important part of this option is that it is a job with training. The training element allows you to advance and to acquire new skills. Going into a job without a training component will not give students the job satisfaction that they need. In fact, some graduates will job hop until they find one with a training opportunity. Many companies because of downsizing are willing to invest in new high school graduates by training them for a long-term commitment.

There are some companies that will also pay for college courses or provide tuition reimbursement.

Either way gets your foot in the door and keeps it in the door. A lot of high school graduates want hands on experience, so getting a position after high school is a great idea. To some, sitting in a classroom all day is boring so they would rather be on the job practicing their craft.

The Armed Services is another wonderful opportunity for many high school graduates. Memorial Day

is coming, and it reaffirms the important role that the military has played in shaping our country and allowing us to live free each day.

We probably take our service personnel for granted because they have always been there for us.

Recent wars have given us new perspectives on just how important our men and women in uniform are.

High school graduates who are interested in the military should thoroughly research their chosen branch. As you might have heard, requirements are getting tougher. It is a great career choice with wonderful opportunities.

Parents and love providers of new high school graduates need to give them support and encouragement. Knowing that you are in their corner will give them a big boost.

Not to worry as their success may not happen on your time table but it will happen, just on their time table.

The competition for all of these options has become increasingly more competitive. My advice is to take your options seriously and don’t waste any time. Your high school days will soon be behind you. You will close that chapter and enter a new chapter filled with both opportunities and challenges.

Good luck and much success. Keep your dreams ever alive and never, ever give up!

‘i am the best person to beat Virginia Foxx’

Many in WinstonSalem are still stinging over the loss of Alma Guest Adams as Columnist your representative and having her replaced with Virginia Foxx. i want you to know that i am the best person to beat Virginia Foxx in november and continue the work that Alma Adams started.

There are serious issues to be dealt with in Washington, and i believe that she is out of touch with the people of this district. We need someone who knows what it is like to work 40-plus hours a week and try and make ends meet and provide for a family. We need an everyday person who represents the hard working people of this district, and the only person in this race that fits that description is me.

Poverty is a real issue not only in this state but especially in this district. WinstonSalem is now the most poverty stricken city in north carolina. Wilkes county has almost 50 percent of its children who qualify for free or reduced meals at school. in a nut shell, we have serious problems in the real wages we are paying people in this country. We have to work with leaders in Winston-Salem and Wilkes and other cities in the district to recruit not just industry and jobs but real wage jobs from companies who are going to invest in the long-term future of the cities and districts.

When elected, i want to do everything possible to shore up Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. We have to rein in the drug companies and the insurance industry. This vicious and endless cycle has to be stopped.

The legal system is in need of help as well.

BY TODD LUCK THE CHRONICLE

Forsyth County Board of Elections Director Tim Tsujii outlined the long process for getting new voting machines with Forsyth County commissioners on Thursday, May 19.

Tsujii addressed questions commissioners had about voting machines and what’s being done to improve elections in Forsyth during a county budget meeting. According to HB 586, which was passed by the General Assembly in 2015, the county is required to switch to a paper ballot based system by January 1, 2018. Forsyth uses paper ballots, which are inserted into tabulator machines, on election days and touch screen voting machines during early voting, which do print results for voters to see, but don’t use paper ballots.

Tsujii said the early voting machines can be replaced with similar machines that will produce ballots. Though tabulator machines meet the new paper-based mandate, they are past their prime and need replacing as well.

Tsujii estimated replacing existing equipment would cost $1.5 million. He said commissioners should also consider using one method of voting on both early voting and election days, which would simplify poll worker training and maintenance.

The American Red Cross urges blood and platelet donors to choose their day to give and help ensure blood is available for patients all summer long during its annual summer awareness campaign, sponsored by Suburban Propane.

“Many Americans will be celebrating the unofficial start to summer this Memorial Day weekend, but seasonal activities that bring joy to so many can also lead to a shortage of

identify ways to make it easier and to simplify the process so they can do a better job,” said Tsujii.

Martin

County Commissioner Don Martin said that the commissioners had held off on replacing the machines in the past because there’s only one vendor selling state certified voting machines that can be used.

“Surely, the State Board of Elections recognizes that competition is part of America,” said Martin. “We need an opportunity for people to bid on that.”

Tsujii said that the lack of competition comes from state requirements to certify voting machines that include giving the State BOE the machine’s source code. Currently there’s still only one vendor with certified machines.

Voters shouldn’t expect to see changes soon. Tsujii recommended waiting as long as possible so the county gets the latest available technology when buying the machines.

The state-mandated process for new voting equipment is doing a public demonstration of the machine, bringing a pre-

liminary recommendation to commissioners, doing a test pilot at one precinct during an election, getting State BOE approval, and then getting county commissioners’ final approval on the new machines. In the tentative timeline given to commissioners as an example, the machines could be tested in the 2017 municipal election and then used in the 2018 election.

In the meantime, the Forsyth BOE is trying to prevent repeating errors from the midterm election.

The State BOE ordered the South Ward City Council primary to be held again on June 7 because dozens of voters received the wrong ballot in a race that Carolyn Highsmith won by only six votes. The State BOE also ordered that 130 unsigned provisional ballots be counted after the signature line didn’t print out and poll workers failed to get a signature. Tsujii said poll workers will be getting ballots from marked folders this time to avoid confusion and will

blood and platelet donations when regular donors become busy,” said Donna M. Morrissey, director of national partnerships for the Red Cross Biomedical Services. “Patients don’t get a summer holiday from needing lifesaving blood and platelet donations and are counting on generous volunteers to help maintain a sufficient supply this summer.”

To encourage donations around the Memorial Day holiday, those who come to give blood or platelets from May 27-31 will receive a Red Cross T-shirt, while

supplies last. The Red Cross relies on volunteer donors for the 14,000 blood donations needed every day to support patients at about 2,600 hospitals and transfusion centers nationwide. However, during the summer months, about two fewer donors schedule an appointment to give blood at each Red Cross blood drive than what patients need.

Forsyth Tech at airport among bond proposals Transforming the old Sherriff’s office building on Third Street into the new home of a merged SciWorks and Children’s Museum of Winston-Salem could be one of several bonds on the November ballot.

a Forsyth Tech aviation center at the Smith Reynolds airport, SciWorks relocating downtown, and a new or renovated courthouse were among the bond possibilities Forsyth county commissioners heard on Thursday, May 19.

The county commissioners are considering which proposals they will add to the november ballot as bond referendums, which would ask taxpayers if they want to pay higher taxes to fund them. The commissioners also have the option of paying for them with limited liability bonds, in which the county takes on debt without voter approval. commissioners have to pass a resolution by June 13 for the bonds they want on the ballot.

Forsyth Technical community college President dr. Gary Green presented a $65 million bond request. This includes hanger and classroom space at Smith Reynolds airport, located off liberty Street, for a new program that will prepare students to

work on the mechanical structure of airplanes. he said this can provide skilled, Faa-certified employees that local aviation companies at the airport need.

“This is a valuable project for economic development in our community,” said Green. among the other Forsyth Tech projects is renovations at the oak Gove center - a building formerly used as the school system’s career center - that includes more classrooms, a 3-d printing center and other improvements. The college also wants to build a new learning commons building that will contain a new library, which Green said is needed for the school to continue to be accredited. The money would also be used to expand the college’s Transportation Technology center on Patterson avenue.

SciWorks director Paul Kortenaar presented a $20 million bond request that would transform the former Sheriff’s office on Third Street into a museum.

SciWorks, a children’s science museum located on West hanes Mill Road, is merg-

Two receive scholarships from Retired School Personnel group SPecial To The chRonicle

The W-S/Fc Unit, n.c. Retired School Personnel had its annual Membership luncheon on Wednesday, May 11, at Knollwood Baptist church. at that time it awarded two $1,000 scholarships to graduating high school students.

The two scholarship winners were: Jessica Rowlands, a Glenn high School student who plans to major in special education. She is the first recipient of "The Rudolph V. Boone, Sr. Scholarship."

Xavier hayes is a student at Walkertown high School who plans to major in music education. Xavier received the Rita V. Taylor Scholarship.

Tasha hayes and Jason Rowlands, parents of the two award winners, were present to support their children.

Boone was honored by the unit by renaming one of its scholarships in his name. he is a longtime member of the unit, who has served as its president, vice president, program chairman, community participation chairman, choir director and newsletter editor.

The guest speaker for the event was J. R. Snyder, a WSJS-aM Radio personality. The program chairman is Roger Scott.

ing with the children’s Museum of Winston-Salem, currently located on downtown liberty Street. he said, along with a new, more diverse board, the two merged museums want a new location in the former Sheriff’s office. he said the museums will be doing their own $10 million capital campaign for exhibits.

The Winston-Salem/Forsyth county Schools asked for a $350 million bond that will deal with aging buildings and technology, along with having enough classrooms to accommodate the growing student body. it will pay for two new middle schools, four replacements schools, additions to four schools and renovations at four others. it also includes numerous other capital improvements and new technology at every school. county commissioner everette Witherspoon said he felt the county owed the school system the bond, since it has lower per pupil spending than other urban counties like Guilford.

“We’ve short changed education,” he said.

Kortenaar

The commissioners heard possibilities on potential renovations at the Forsyth county hall of Justice to deal with space and repair needs. The most expensive possibility was building a new courthouse for $145 million on Second Street, which included a parking deck and walkway to the neighboring Forsyth county detention center. There was a $142 million option for a new courthouse to be built on the parking lot of the current one and the site of the Piedmont Federal building next door. There’s also a $112 million option that would add on to the current structure building a new tower for courtrooms in the current parking lot while using the old building for office space.

The commissioners also heard a proposal for $10 million for 15 capital projects at the county’s park, mostly concentrated at Tanglewood Park in clemmons, and heard about $6.54 million in other capital needs that includes repairs at the detention center and to local libraries.

“You listen to the other women talking while quilting” and capture the wisdom they impart, she said.

Piggott-Long brought the quilt to show the audience and pointed to various pieces of memorable clothing.

Although only one panel had the task to deal with spirituality, references to God were made throughout other conversations as panelists mentioned how they are being led by God to make decisions in their lives. For instance, a girl asked the question “Have you reached your goal?” to t h e Work/Education/Finances/ Career panel. Hartsfield; Donna Taylor, an attorney; and Tamara Turner, an administrator with Quality Education Academy, spoke about being led by God as they navigate through their careers.

“Where do you get strength and motivation from?” The conversation, which appeared to be a misunderstanding, ended with the girl and the panelist professing their faith in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.

At least two panelists brought their daughters, who participated. One panelist, Shenell Thompson, and her daughter Kymberly Michael Thompson, 16, were on the panel addressing family and relationships.

They both talked about how important structure is in family life. Shenell Thompson has been married more than two decades and Kymberly spoke highly of her father. “My daddy is the best man I know,” she said.

Kymberly said girls should know themselves.

“You can’t search for yourself in someone else because you don’t know who you are,” she said.

She said girls should keep their priorities straight and resist following the crowd – and boys. She says girls should say to boys: “You should have to work for me.”

“This has been some really good conversation,” Shenell Thompson said.

“Networking and telling your story is the most effective way to keep change happening,” Hartsfield said.

QEA basketball seniors headed to the next level

BY CRAIG T. GREENLEE FOR THE CHRONICLE

Three more basketball seniors at Quality Education Academy recently announced where they will continue their careers.

Deshawn Corprew, Marsellis Purvis and Keith Stagg all played major roles in the Pharaohs’ impressive run at a national title. The Pharaohs advanced to the finals of the Grind Session Nationals before bowing out to Victory Rock Prep (Fla.).

A week ago, Corprew verbally committed to play for Texas A&M. Purvis and Stagg are both headed to Jones County Junior College (Miss.). In 2014, Jones County won the NJCAA Division I national championship.

With this latest development on the recruiting front, all four of QEA’s seniors are now good to go for college. Pape Ndiaye, a 6-9 power forward, signed with

Fordham University (N.Y.) a few weeks ago.

Corprew, a 6-5 shooting guard, closed out his QEA career as one of the best to ever play in the program. As a senior, he averaged 32 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals per game. He made his announcement about choice of schools the day before the end of the late signing period, which was May 18.

Over the final two months of the season, his stock as a blue-chip recruit continued to rise in the eyes of the college scouts. The highly-regarded Corprew attracted intense interest from at least a dozen major-college programs such as Missouri, UCLA, Cincinnati, Florida State and Texas. Before choosing Texas A&M, Corprew reportedly gave serious consideration to Kansas and LSU. With Corprew added to the Texas A&M roster, there’s no question that See Seniors on B2

Track athletes cap season with title-winning performances

BY CRAIG T. GREENLEE FOR THE CHRONICLE

Prevailing in a winner-take-all situation creates a blissful state of mind for the victor. That was certainly the case for four track athletes who bagged individual titles at the state track and field championships held last weekend in Greensboro.

For seniors McKinley McNeill of Parkland (Class 4A) and Tony Davis of Atkins (Class 1-A), winning titles in the 400-meter dash was a grand way to close out their high school careers as the undisputed No. 1.

For sophomore Jeremy Kankula of Atkins and junior Ashya Smith of Winston-Salem Prep, winning could serve as added incentive to do the necessary work that will enable both to further establish their dominance. Kankula won the 800-meter run with a decisive finishing kick in the late stages of the race. Smith, in the meantime, proved to be no match for the opposition in winning both of her Class 1-A hurdles races (100 and 300 meters).

The end result was especially sweet for McNeill, who will attend North Carolina on a track scholarship next fall.

With the win, she’s now a two-time state outdoor champion in the 400. But equally impressive is that her winning time of 53.50 seconds set a new state-meet record that had

been on the books since 2009.

“My time at Parkland has been a journey,” said McNeill. “When I came in I was surrounded by champions and that really helped. When you run and practice against your equals or people who are better, your times will drop.”

McNeill, who won the 500-meter run at the state indoor meet in February, developed a strategy for Greensboro that was designed to produce an expected outcome. For most of the season, she hadn’t been seriously challenged by opposing runners. But that changed to some

Just because Winston-Salem State’s softball team has no departing seniors, it doesn’t mean recruiting is at a standstill. On the contrary, coach LaTaya Hilliard-Gray will continue to add new people to the fold, and for good reason.

The Rams, who have won two CIAA tournament titles over the last three years, will suffer heavy losses at the end of the 2017 season. The college careers of five seniors – which include a couple of All-CIAA players – will come to a close at that time.

“We’re always in recruiting mode,” said Gray. “And we’re looking to strengthen ourselves at all positions. We’ll bring in players to get them acclimated to our system. They will get some seasoning and benefit from what they learn from the seniors we have on board.”

coach Billy Kennedy is excited about the possibilities for next season.

“Deshawn gives us another talented and versatile guard who is capable of playing all three positions on the perimeter,” Kennedy said on the Texas A&M web site. “He’s an outstanding defender and has a great ability to penetrate and get into the paint. His

toughness, size and athletic ability are going to have a big impact on our team.”

In national media circles, the acquisition of Corprew is viewed as a major accomplishment for Texas A&M. According to a report filed on the Bleacher Report website, the former QEA star is expected to make his presence felt right away. Here’s an excerpt: “Especially at this stage of 2016 recruiting, snag-

T H E C H R ON I C LE

ging Corprew is a big move for the Aggies. He should help the team on both ends of the floor as A&M looks to make another deep run in the NCAA tournament.”

Corey Evans of the Roundball Rundown Report wrote: “Big late addition for Texas A&M landing Deshawn Corprew. Tough and hard-nosed. Two-way producer. One of the best availables left in 2016.”

In Purvis and Stagg, the

Jones County Bobcats have a pair of productive forwards who figure to make an immediate impact.

According to coach Isaac Pitts of QEA, both had offers from lower-level Division schools, but decided to go a highlyregarded junior college program like Jones County in order to enhance their chances to be recruited by the major programs after playing two seasons at the JC level.

Visit Our New Website www.WSChronicle.com At 6-7, Purvis is a bit undersized at power forward. But because of his game smarts and lowerbody strength, he’s able to more than hold his own against taller players in the paint. At QEA, he emerged as a fierce inside presence at both ends of the floor.

Purvis is also a skilled ball handler who can bring the ball up-court against pressing and trapping defenses.

Stagg, a lengthy 6-8 small forward, is a lethal

shooter from 3-point distance. Defensively, he’s a menacing presence who can guard all three positions on the perimeter.

The college scouts got a glimpse of what Stagg is capable of during the final round of the Grind Session National Championships.

In QEA’s 82-74 loss to Victory Rock Prep, Stagg delivered a game-high 28 points on 4-of-5 field goal shooting and 6-of-8 on 3pointers.

degree toward the end of the season as Kyna Robinson of Southeast Raleigh and Maya Singletary of Hoke County started posting faster times to emerge as legitimate challengers.

“My ultimate goal coming in for today was to break the (state-meet) record, everything else was secondary,” said McNeill.

“When I looked at their times in the 200, I noticed that we were about equal. I felt that they would like to get out fast just like I do, so I paced myself a little bit and was able to finish strong.”

Entering his final season at Atkins, Davis entertained thoughts about being a state champ, but not in

the open 400. His goal was to win a title as part of the 4x400 relay.

At the state meet, Davis got out of the blocks quickly and ran strong over the first 300 meters and held a slight edge over Hobbton’s Raekwon Bryant coming out of the final turn. Bryant closed the gap by a meter, but Davis responded with another burst and pulled away to win by about four meters in a personal best time of 49.65 – which is .09 off the school record set

by Dyronne Mabry at the Class 2-A state outdoor championships in 2010.

“It still hasn’t hit me that I just became a state champion,” said Davis, who will join the track team at East Carolina as a walk-on next fall. “It’s always been a goal of mine, but I never thought I’d get it individually.

Season from page B1

Winston-Salem State (30-23) recently finished what proved to be a stellar season in which it advanced to the NCAA Division II playoffs. Over the course of the season, the Rams struggled to maintain consistency.

Coming down the final stretch of games, however, they peaked and played their best ball of the season.

“I was very pleased with our effort towards the end of the season,” said Gray. “Everyone embraced their roles and played to their individual strengths.

During CIAA championship, they finally realized how successful they could be.”

The Rams’ marquee player, Mercedes Hargett, will return for her senior season. Hargett tossed a no-hitter in the conference tournament and finished the season with a 20-11 pitching record, 2.69 ERA and 6.4 strike-outs per game. At the plate, she was

equally dominant with a .314 batting average, 29 RBIs and 7 home runs.

Hargett is a two-time AllCIAA pick and was voted conference tournament MVP for this past season.

Hargett won’t have to carry this team on her shoulders. She has ample help from a veteran crew which features Chyna Riley, Rebecca Demko, Melissa Carillo, Katherine Zimmer and Idaysha Quinones (17 stolen bases).

Among the Rams’ newcomers, Destiny Snipes and Tiarra Delaney delivered in grand fashion.

Snipes, (hit .297, 31 RBIs, 4 home runs, 10 stolen bases), made Division II All-Region and was a CIAA All-Rookie selec-

“This (state championship) is the biggest goal I’ve ever set for myself that I have actually accomplished. Now that I’ve done this, it has opened up a wide array of what I can see myself doing in the future.”

In the 800, Kankula seized the lead immediately and carried the pack through with a time of 57.94 for the first lap.

Going down the back stretch of the gun lap, prerace favorite Travis Gallimore of South Davidson pulled even with Kankula and the two ran stride for stride until the final curve. Gallimore started to pull away, but Kankula, who ran a seasonbest 1:59.57, discovered an extra reserve of energy and bolted past Gallimore over the final 15 meters to take the victory.

“Before the start of the race, I made a vow to myself that I wasn’t going to lose,” said Kankula. “I felt that I could beat him (Gallimore), so that’s what I was able to prove. But the challenges are not over for me. There’s more for me to overcome. I’m not going to get cocky with this win because I know that next year, somebody can take me down.”

Smith controlled both of her hurdles races from start to finish. In the 100 hurdles, Asia Henry of Ivanhoe Union closed the gap near the end, but it wasn’t enough and Smith ran 15.40 to earn her first medal. It was more of the same in the 300 hurdles.

By the eighth hurdle, Smith was in total command. Zoriah McDonald of Whiteville started to make up some distance, but

Smith held steady to win comfortably in 47.05 and McDonald was the runnerup at 47.55.

“I struggled a little bit in the 100 (fifth-place finish), but as for the hurdles, that means everything to me,” said Smith, who also played on Prep’s basketball team for two seasons. “I still have another year to come back (to states) and maybe break a record. I feel that there are a lot more opportunities for me to keep getting better at what I do. This season was great.”

Sprint relay champs All season long, Parkland ranked in the upper echelon of the Class 4-A girls 4x200 relay. The Mustangs, however, had never beaten a Southeast Raleigh foursome that was No. 1 in the state.

The heavily-favored Bulldogs’ title hopes vanished when they were disqualified for a baton exchange violation. In the meantime, Parkland (Destiny Hill, Shanone Cannon, Kimani Davis and McNeill) took full advantage and won easily in 1 minute, 37.05 seconds over runner-up Raleigh Wakefield.

In Class 1-A, WinstonSalem Prep had visions of repeating as state champs in the 4x100 and 4x200.

That vision took a hit when the Phoenix was disqualified in the 4x200 because of a false start. Prep (Llyric Mack, De’ja Reid, Daziah Brooks and Yazmin Chatman-Wallace) dominated the field to win comfortably in 50.98 seconds.

“I knew what Destiny was capable of when we recruited her,” said Gray.

“Not only does she hit the long ball, but she has the kind of speed that really helps us on the base paths and in the outfield. We need to do more to help us take full advantage of her speed. Now it’s only a matter of her continuing to build on what she has already accomplished.”

Delaney turned out to be a major surprise for WSSU in her first season.

The sophomore who transferred from South Carolina State finished strong with a .378 batting average and 21 RBIs. “Tiarra was a big surprise,” said Gray. “She didn’t get much playing time at South Carolina State.

Northwest Middle School wins track title

Falcons win city/county track meet with only handful of student athletes

By TeviN STiNSoN The ChroNiCle

earlier this month, the boys track team at Northwest Middle School capped off a perfect season by winning the annual city/county championship meet held at reagan high School. every year, the 15 middle schools in the district come together to compete in the Winston-

Salem/Forsyth County Track and Field Championship. This year with only 10 members competing, the Falcons were able to run away with the 2016 title. While a number of schools in the district had teams with 25 or 30 student athletes, Northwest head coach ernest riley said he felt confident that he could get the job done with his best 10. riley mentioned in past years Northwest came within points of winning the title, but always seemed to come up short. riley said it feels good to finally add to the banner that hangs inside the school’s gym. ”it’s an amazing feeling to finally get over that hump,” smiled riley. “i’m

When discussing the undefeated championship season, riley gave all the credit to the hard work and dedication of his students. riley, who has coached track at various levels for more than 30 years, said he knew at the beginning of the season he had something special. he said, “At the start of the season, i told them if they came to practice and worked hard, they

could win it all.

“They came in and worked hard, now they are champions,” he said. “i am proud of them all because they never gave up and continued to listen.” riley noted what put them over the top in the championship meet was the quick feet of eighth grader Clayton Durham in the 800 meter run. Durham posted a time of 2 minutes 14 seconds, more than four seconds faster than the second place finisher. For finishing in first place, 10 points was

added to the Falcons overall score, pushing them into first with 58 points. That was enough to hold off arch rival Southeast, who was a crowd favorite going into the meet.

D.J. Moyer, Taznae Woods, Jordan hunter and Jamari Slade also played a role in the Falcons championship run. Jordan Smith and James Clyburn contributed points during the meet as well.

Connor Barron, elden Campbell, and Devon Pulliam had stellar regular seasons for the Falcons.

Principal Alfreda Smith, who was on hand to watch her scholar athletes win the title said the entire faculty and student body is proud to be crowned cham-

“We have some amazing athletes here at Northwest who are doing some outstanding things academically as well.”

Smith also applauded Coach riley for the work he does with the team. She said riley uses a method that prepares students for life in the real world. “in addition to teaching content, our teachers are preparing students for life beyond school,” she said.

“The student athletes here aren’t just competing, they are learning important life lessons such as dedication and hard work. it’s important that the students are able to learn outside the textbook.”

When you are the second oldest african-american church in the history of Winston-Salem, your archives hold a lot of history.

Founded in 1871, St. Paul United methodist Church has had historic members such as legendary Winston Salem State University head basketball coach Clarence “Big house” Gaines and impacts the community from the weekly food pantry to meals on wheels to name a few ways. a two-day celebration was held to commemorate the 145th anniversary of the church. St. Paul was founded as St. Paul methodist Church and was renamed St. Paul

United methodist Church in 1969, one year after its merger with mt. Pleasant methodist Church and the denominational merger with the evangelical United Brethren Church. “my goal as anniversary chair was to take our overall vision and mission of the church and to incorporate it into this ministry, and it was an honor to do so,” said anniversary chairwoman Sheila Robinson. last Saturday’s events included a historical photography and artifacts display of material from 1871 through 2016 followed by a panel discussion with church elders. members were able to ask the panelists questions about the history of the church that younger members were not aware of.

The display showed vintage photos of pastors of the

a Joyous Response

Lesson Scripture: luke 19:1-10

By the end of this lesson, we will: *learn that Jesus takes the initiative in saving the lost *Understand what true joy is *Realize that true joy comes only from faith in Christ

Background: The lesson takes place in Jericho. Jesus has passed through on several occasions. Jesus was baptized near there, he was tempted near there and the Good Samaritan parable was on the road from Jerusalem to Jericho. a blind beggar was also healed near or on the way to Jericho. in this lesson is another rich man. Zacchaeus is rich just like the young man in last week’s lesson and is a tax collector as the man in a previous lesson. But though similar, they are different.

See Church on B6

Researching the differences may be helpful.

Lesson: Zacchaeus, who “was the chief Elder among the publicans, and he was rich” (luke 19:2), Richard Wayne wanted to see Jesus.

Wood Because of his short stature, he knew he couldn’t see past the Sunday crowd, so being a forSchool Lesson ward-thinker, Zacchaeus ran ahead of the crowd and climbed a tree and waited for Jesus to come by, sort of like you do at the homecoming Parade.

Probably feeling secure in the anonymity of his chosen spot to view Jesus, he didn’t anticipate Jesus viewing him. Zacchaeus was surprised that Jesus spotted him and called him by name. The surprise however, was one of joy. Jesus inviting himself over to Zacchaeus’ house was,

Dr. Felecia Piggott-Long, an English teacher at Carver High School as well as an actress, playwright, journalist, author and youth minister at Emmanuel Baptist Church, delivered the morning message.

Drawing from the biblical account of brothers Esau and Jacob, Piggott-Long spoke on the subject “Resist Being a Sell Out Because Your Birthright Could Be Your Way Out.” As she peppered her presentation with rhymes from hip hop and classic African-American poetry, she called the graduates a special generation and charged them to continue to rise up and work for the cause of making the world better for everyone.

Piggott-Long told the congregation that it is important to know where you came from and to use the talents and skills available to you to continue to rise. Faith, she said, is your greatest inheritance.

let’s say, “the icing on the cake” for the tax collector.

Jesus knew about this rich man and his heart just as he knew about the rich man who inquired after eternal life. And this is an example of God doing what is impossible for man; remember the eye of a needle and the camel?

Zacchaeus is also a prime example of a sincere desire to be in the presence of God and how that sincerity pays off in ways we don’t expect or imagine. Jesus

said, “Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down: for today I must abide at thy house” (Luke 19:5). Don’t mess around … do it now!

It was necessary for others, the onlookers, to know that all people – even a loathed tax collector such as Zacchaeus – needed to hear the good news of the kingdom. Jesus offers redemption to people guilty of sin and seeking an avenue to forgiveness. In the eyes of the people, Zacchaeus had violated the Mosaic Law and so was unworthy to be in Jesus’ presence and could, in their eyes, make

“I remember the encouragement I received from the older mothers in the church was important to me,” said panelist Marian Winbush. “We have established a vision and are seeking to follow that vision at all times through our ministries and community outreach. We are moving with following that vision, which is making disciples of Jesus Christ, starting with the children.”

Fellow panelist Mildred Thomas said she is most proud of the numbers of young people in the church and is excited about the future and forward direction of the church.

During Sunday’s worship service, most everyone Him unclean by association. But Jesus came to save the lost (Matt. 18:11).

Because the idea of grace was new and not fully comprehended, the people could not see that God had prepared Zacchaeus’ heart to receive Jesus. We are to understand that, during the course of the evening and Jesus’ conversation with Zacchaeus, his eyes were opened to his sinful behavior and apparent greed.

Jesus has given Zacchaeus the word and his response to Jesus is his testimony in front of witnesses was “…

Lord, the half of my goods

I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold” (Luke 19:8). Note here that Zacchaeus goes beyond what is required by Old Testament law. God had prepared his heart and his actions are evidence of the change of heart he experienced due to faith in Christ. Ending the lesson, Jesus puts His stamp of approval when He says, “This day is salvation come to this house …”

(Luke 19:9). He goes on to say this is exactly, precisely and directly what He

showed a sign of unity by wearing a Carolina blue colored shirt that read “United for God's Glory, Committed to God's Word, Empowered by God's Spirit and Involved in God's Work.”

A special dance selection by church dance ministry Radical Reverence, upbeat choir singing, and a sermon by Jenkins highlighted the service. Jenkins touched on the history of the church and how the church is a congregation that transforms lives. He also spoke on the purpose everyone has in their lives and how they should enjoy the journey to the goal.

Following the service, the church held a ministry fair for members as well as a cookout style meal for them to enjoy. came for, “to seek and to save that which was lost.”

(Luke 19:10).

For Your Consideration:

Why is changed behavior a good indicator of a genuine profession of faith? What motivates you to be a committed follower of Jesus?

Life’s Application: All of us need to hear the Gospel. We also need to know that only through our faith in Jesus can we be saved. Our mission is to carry this truth to the lost.

A commitment to carry the

good news will result in real joy in serving the Lord and enhanced effectiveness in witnessing for Him. Zacchaeus demonstrated repentance and commitment to Jesus commands.

We, too, are called to follow Him in obedience and faithful service. We must remember also that Jesus said, “I come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.” (John 10:10).

Continuing the conversation

High schools continue discussion on race relations, other important issues during forum

BY TEVIN STINSON THE CHRONICLE

For the second time this school year, students from area high schools came together last week to discuss the state of race relations in area schools at Parkland High School.

During the first forum held last September, the Human Relations Department gathered a diverse group of students from public and private schools in Winston-Salem and Forsyth County to discuss peer relationships, perceptions in classrooms, and stereotypes.

This time, students took the conversation to the next level.

Senior at Calvary Baptist Day School and moderator for the event

Logan Short asked the students a number of tough questions that sparked conversations and intrigued the minds of the students.

When asked about diversity, North Forsyth senior Diego Garcia said as Americans we should make sure all cultures are recognized. Garcia said, “Lack of diversity leads to lack of inclusion.

“Diversity allows students to connect more,” he continued. “That’s what I like most about North.”

The students also had the opportunity to voice their opinions on House Bill 2 (HB2), the controversial law that was passed in a one-day General Assembly session earlier this year. With the law, North Carolina became the first state to require public school and university students to use only those bathrooms that match the gender on their birth certificates.

“It’s not a well-written bill at all,” Paisley Magnet School freshman Carine Miller said.

“It’s creating more

hatred among people.

That’s one of the main reasons why it should be repealed.”

While holding the mic, Miller, who defines herself as “pro everything for diversity,” said HB2 is not just about the LGBT community, but all discriminatory laws across the state.

West Forsyth senior Josh Ballin mentioned the restrictions the law places on local governments. HB2 restricts local governments from having discrimination ordinances that go further than state law.

“This bill can, and will, tear communities apart,” said Ballin. “That’s what we have to think about when discussing HB2.”

After answering a number pre-screened questions, members of the audience were given a chance to ask the students questions before the close of the event. Human Relations Director Wanda AllenAbraha who helped organize the forum said she was excited to see the students open up and discuss what was on their minds.

Members of the Happy Hill Neighborhood Association came together to throw a 200th anniversary celebration for their community on Saturday, May 21.

Happy Hill celebrates 200 years with event

BY TODD LUCK THE CHRONICLE

The Happy Hill Neighborhood Association (HHNA) held a celebration of Happy Hill’s 200th Anniversary at Sims Recreation Center.

The event– which featured, games, food, historic trivia and music– encouraged residents to sign up for the group. HHNA had gone dormant for a few years, but started holding meetings again this year.

HHNA already has big plans. The group is partnering with the Liberian Organization of the Piedmont in hopes of building a community multicultural center that will include a dormitory for students from Liberia attending local colleges.

HHNA is also doing a mentoring program for boys, an intergenerational reading program that brings youth together with seniors, and has plans to bring fresh produce into the community. The group is also supportive of rehabbing the historic shotgun houses, located on Alder Street, into a museum and shop, and the efforts to restore the Happy Hill Cemetery.

HHNA President Amatullah Saleem was

raised in Happy Hill and has lived there off and on.

She said when she came back to Winston-Salem in the 1970s, Happy Hill had become a public housing project plagued by drugs and crime. Now that she’s moved back to retire, living at Alder’s Point, she said Happy Hill now has far less crime but also less sense of community.

“It’s now totally different,” she said. “However, what is missing is the cohesiveness of the community.”

Happy Hill has been many things over the last two centuries. In 1816, Dr. Friedrich Schumann relocated his farm and slaves outside the town of Salem to what would become known as Happy Hill. In 1836, he freed his slaves and paid for them to migrate to Liberia. African Americans eventually settled into the Happy Hill area and created a community that was also called Liberia.

In 1952, Happy Hill Gardens was completed and became the state’s first federally funded housing project. The project was demolished in 2004 and Hope VI funding allowed for the construction of new, low-income housing: Alder’s Point senior apart-

ments and Providence Place apartments. There are also residents living in Habitat for Humanity homes and other homeowners in the neighborhood.

Happy Hill now has residents of different cultural and economic backgrounds. Bringing them all together is a challenge for the HHNA. “If we work together, we support each other, we can empower, educate and encourage each other through our trials and tribulations.” said Antonia Imes, an HHNA member who lives in Providence Place with her four children.

HHNA past president Edith Jones, pastor of Ecclesiastes Deliverance Center and owner of R-U Happy Child Care on Liberia Street, grew up in Happy Hill in the 1930s and returned to the neighborhood 17 years ago. She said in her youth, Happy Hill was a close-knit community, where neighbors looked after each other’s children.

“It was really great growing up,” she said. “I have no complaints.”

HHNA members said they’re hoping to make it a great place to grow up for the children who are there now.

“Students today are facing something that older generations can’t even imagine,” Allen-Abraha said.

“That’s why it is important that we have these conversations,” she said, “The students made a number of interesting points here today.”

Following the forum, students said what they enjoyed most about participating in the forum was interacting with students from other schools and learning how they deal with issues of race and diversity.

Early College of Forsyth junior Izabela Rika said similar forums should be held at each school in the district.

“This generation is very aware of our surroundings and ready to make a change,” she said. “Every school should be having this same conversation because every school has their own issues.”

“The only way to make a difference is to communicate. That’s what is most important.”

and for all you do to inform and educate,” said Miller.

“My mother passed in 1995, but if she had still been around, i know she would have enjoyed this as well. i will certainly return next year.”

Mary oliver said, “i truly enjoyed the experience of learning cPr. hopefully, i will be ready if i ever really need it. everyone needs to learn this.” the reid Family served as deejays throughout the morning. they played such songs as “Sadie” by the Spinners, “i’ll always love My Mama” by the intruders, and “grandma’s hands” by Bill Withers. the radio

hosts also encouraged special announcements. antwan transou announced that his three sons, Josh, John, and David, received football scholarships from hampton University.

Mark redd and curtis gatewood fried the fish in the traditional big black pot.

Shirley allen and Jean allen assisted with the grits. redd and gatewood dropped the fish in the large pot and once the fish was done, it would

rise to the top of the oil. they prepared pans of golden fried fish. the members of the Father and Son committee include William “rock” Bitting, curtis gatewood, Brian Manns, ralph Meadows, Mark redd, leroy richardson, Jr., todd Sample, and yusef Suggs. the purpose of the group is to mentor youth to help young men and women to become respectful citizens in the community. they desire to guide them in the right direction in life.the group is already planning the “honor your Father” gathering for the third Saturday in June.

30th District Prince hall Mason class talks to students

interesting talking about the subjects in which they specialized. “the 30th District class of Prince hall Masons of 2016 has been a vital part of volunteerism at the center. all year the class has helped the center with different programs that inspire youth to do well and helps the community to prosper in education,” said Piggott. at the end of the discussion, the youth were treated to pizzas and drinks for their participation.

A congressional primary election will be held on Tuesday, June 7, 2016 in Forsyth County to vote in the following contests: Democratic and Republican Congressional offices of U.S. House of Representatives District 5; Democratic Winston-Salem City Council – South Ward; and NC Supreme Court Associate Justice.

Winston-Salem – South Ward will have a new election as ordered by the North Carolina State Board of Elections. This contest is open to all Democratic and Unaffiliated voters that live within the South Ward.

Most voters will be asked to present acceptable photo identification when presenting to vote in person, with exceptions for voters who are unable to obtain acceptable photo identification, have a religious objection to being photographed, or are victims of a natural disaster. Acceptable forms of photo identification are a NC Driver License or DMV-issued identification card (expired up to four years), US Passport or Passport card (unexpired), Military ID card or Veterans Affairs ID card (unexpired, if there is an expiration date), and certain tribal enrollment cards.

Voters who are unable to obtain one of these forms of identification may still vote if the inability to obtain such identification is due to a reasonable impediment such as a lost or stolen ID, lack of transportation, illness or disability, a lack of proper documents, work schedule. These voters may vote a provisional ballot after completing a Reasonable Impediment Declaration and providing an alternate form of identification, or the last four digits of their Social Security Number and their date of birth. Alternate forms of identification for voters who complete a Reasonable Impediment Declaration include their voter registration card or a current utility bill, paycheck, government check, bank statement, or other government document bearing the voter’s name and current address. Voters who use curbside voting may also present one of the alternative forms of identification described in the last sentence. Photo identification for voting is available from the DMV at no cost. For assistance with obtaining acceptable photo identification or for more information on exceptions and alternative voting options, please contact the State Board of Elections outreach team toll-free at 1-866522-4723 or visit www.VoterID.nc.gov.

Polls will be open from 6:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. on Election Day. The One-stop early voting schedule and absentee ballot request forms may be obtained by calling the Forsyth County Board of Elections or on our web site, www.fcvotes.com. Canvass Day will be held in the Forsyth County Board of Elections office Tuesday, June 14 at 11:00 a.m. Early voting will be closed Monday, May 30 in observance of Memorial Day. Absentee voting by mail is available. Requests for an absentee ballot must be made on an Absentee Request form (available on the State Board of Elections website, at the Forsyth County Board of Elections office, and where early voting is offered), and must be received in the Forsyth County Board of Elections office or any early voting site by 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday, May 31.

All voters who voted by mail for the March 15, 2016 Primary will receive an absentee ballot in the mail. Absentee voting requires completing an application on the return envelope that must be witnessed by two qualified persons or a notary public.

Completed absentee ballots must be returned to the Forsyth County Board of Elections by 5:00 p.m. on Election Day (ballots received by mail after this time will be timely if received within three business days and postmarked as of Election Day). Voters requiring assistance voting a mail-in absentee ballot may receive assistance from a qualified person of their choice. If the voter lives in a facility such as a nursing home, and the voter’s near relative or legal guardian is not available, the voter or the facility can arrange to have the Forsyth County Board of Elections schedule a visit by a Multipartisan Assistance Team (MAT) to provide assistance and serve as witnesses.

All persons who are registered to vote with the Forsyth County Board of Elections may vote in this primary. Unaffiliated voters will be given a choice of ballot. Affiliated voters may vote a nonpartisan ballot if the party of their affiliation does not have any contests scheduled for this primary. Persons who are not already registered to vote in the county must register by Friday, May 13 to be eligible to vote in this primary. Voters who are not registered in the county by that deadline may register and vote during early voting only, and will be required to provide documentation of their identity and residence. Voters who wish to change party affiliation, which have changed name, or address must do so by the registration deadline. Voters who fail to timely make a change in name or address in the county must update the information when presenting to vote, and may be required to vote a provisional ballot.

Voters voting in person are entitled to assistance by an election official, or if assistance is needed due to disability or illiteracy, by a qualified person of their choice. Registration and voting sites are accessible to all voters. Curbside voting is available for voters who are not physically able to enter voting sites.

Persons with questions about registration, polling places, early voting, absentee ballots, a Multipartisan Assistance Team (MAT) visit to a facility or other election matters may call the Forsyth County Board of Elections Office at 336.703.2800.

Local youth wins scholarship for tuition from McDonald’s T H E C H R ON I C LE

B 1 2 M AY 2 6 , 2 0 1 6

BY TIMOTHY RAMSEY FOR THE CHRONICLE

McDonald's restaurants have provided job opportunities for American youth for decades. Assisting its employees in furthering their education is paramount to the company as well.

On Friday, May 20, local McDonald's owners/operators presented scholarships to 11 employees based on their academic achievements, community involvement, and an essay describing what they have learned from their work experience at McDonald's The event took place at the Ronald McDonald House of Winston-Salem. Radio personalities Busta Brown of 97.1 FM and Jared from 107.5 FM presented the scholarships.

Ariel Mayes of Pfafftown was one of the students honored Friday.

Ariel is a two- time winner of the $1,000 Ray Kroc scholarship. Kroc was the owner of the McDonald's corporation and established the Ronald McDonald House foundation.

“The Ray Kroc Scholarship Award was developed to offer our high school and college students who work within McDonald's an opportunity to be recognized and rewarded for making an impact both academically and in their communities,” said Johnny Tart, a local owner/operator of

Mrs. Mayes

McDonald's in the Triad.

Ariel is currently studying Information Systems with a minor in Computer Science at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. She has been employed with McDonald's for the past four years.

Ariel was born in Orangeburg, S.C., and her family relocated to Pfafftown when she was a pre-teen. She began working at McDonald's at the age of 16 and said she has really enjoyed working there.

“I enjoy talking and getting to know people of different backgrounds,” said Mays. “Working at McDonald's has helped prepare me for the future by not being so reserved because I am a very introverted individual. So that has helped me to be able to talk with a variety of people.”

Ginny Whan, owner/operator of McDonald's where Ariel is employed, said, “We have

had the pleasure of working with her for the past four years and it has been awesome to watch her grow in her relationships with people, her peers, and our customers. Everything she does we continue to be impressed by and are very proud of her and happy she is a part of our team.”

Upon graduation, Mayes says she wants to go into web design. Arlinda Mayes, Ariel's mom, stated that her daughter has a bright future and foresees her entering the corporate world because of her dynamic leadership skills.

“The sky's the limit for her,” said Whan. “She is dedicated in whatever she decides to do. She definitely has a backpack full of tools from working with us and the education she has received in school, honestly, that girl can do whatever she wants.”

Mayes said she feels very accomplished to have won the scholarship, especially two years in a row.

Her mother says that the scholarship is a big help and will assist with the purchase of books and meals as well as personal items.

“People are our number one asset to begin with.

And when you layer on someone with the skill set, personality, the appearance, and positive mindset she has, I can’t even begin to calculate what she has been worth to us over the years,” Whan affectionately said of Mayes.
