Communication, transparency and trust are the building blocks for better relationships between students and police, participants in a dialogue concluded on Thursday, Nov. 13. The city’s Human Relations Commission brought students from Forsyth Technical Community College, Salem College, Wake Forest University and Winston-Salem State University together with officers from each schools’ campus police force as part of its Trust Talks, a series designed to bridge divides between the public and law enforcement. Winston-Salem Police Chief Barry Rountree and several of Allen-Abraha his officers and Forsyth County Assistant DA Jennifer Martin also took part in the discussion, which was held at City Hall. Though a racially diverse group of students were invited to take part, African-Americans were most vocal, describing what they called racially-motivated targeting on campuses by both campus police and city cops. To break the ice, Human Relations Director Wanda Allen-Abraha had each of the more than 70 participants – both students and law enforcers – to pull out something from a box containing an assortment of items. Some were then asked to relate their item to the topic Photo by Kevin Walker Forsyth Tech student Chris Pankey holds a clock while dialogue’s theme.

Immigration, The Christian Way N.C. Council of Churches pushing for reform
BY T. KEVIN WALKER THE CHRONICLE
The tumultuous immigration debate has led some to ponder “What Would Jesus Do?” Rev. David Guthrie says the answer is no mystery. From His humble gesture of washing guests’ feet at The Last Supper to the graciousness He shows when invited into the home of Mary, Martha and Lazarus, Guthrie says the Bible is replete with examples of Jesus showing and receiving hospitality. “We see Jesus as guest, and we also see Jesus as host,” Guthrie, president of the Elders’ Conference of the Southern Province of the Moravian Church, told about two dozen church leaders and other people of faith. “From Hostility to Hospitality: Immigration and People of Faith,” a series of discussions the North Carolina Council of Churches is hosting across the state, brought them to Home Moravian Church on Wilburn Thursday, Nov. 13. The series provides a non-formal environment where faith leaders can ask honest questions and engage in positive dialogue, according to Jennie Wilburn, a program associate with the N.C. Council of Churches, a nearly 80-year-old organization that advocates for Christians to work toward a more just society. At the local gathering, the mostly Moravian attendees shared lunch and banter before the formal discussion began. For many on hand, immigration is an issue that has already hit close to home. Pastors said lack of citizenship has stymied some members of their flocks at every turn. The roughly 100 members of Rev. Willie Israel’s congregation at Rolling Hills Moravian in Longwood, Fla. hail from 17 different countries. The ones without citizenship, she said, often work for a pittance in deplorable conditions and lack access to social, educational and legal resources. “For me, it’s a personal issue because this is about people I work with on a daily basis,” said Israel, who perviously served at churches in North Carolina. Mauricio Castro, community organizer for the North Carolina Latino Coalition, was invited to give a statewide snapshot of immigration. Officially, the state’s Hispanic population is about 750,000 – way up from 22,000 in 1960 – but Castro estimates the population is much closer to 840,000. Fear of “La Migra” (a term for U.S. immigration enforcers) keeps many from cooperating with censustakers, he said. Arguments that undocumented residents take jobs away from citizens and use public resources without contributing are fallacies, Castro claims. His research – funded through Winston-Salem-based Z.

Local NAACP election postponed amid concerns BY CHANEL DAVIS THE CHRONICLE
Elections that will determine the leaders of the Winston-Salem Branch of the NAACP have been postponed until state NAACP can be on hand to monitor the process. Elections were slated to be held Tuesday, with Issac “Ike” Howard challenging S. Wayne Patterson for the presidency. Patterson, an attorney who has been president since 2010, applauded the decision to delay the vote. He implied that bylaws and procedures were not being adhered to, but would not elaborate or say by whom. “I had the (board) chair call both the state and national offices to tell them,” he said. “I also felt that it was in my best interest to have someone come in to coordinate the election so I would not be accused of rigging it.” There was to be a six-
hour window Tuesday during which local NAACP members in good-standing could stop by chapter headquarters on Oak Ridge Drive to vote for officers and executive committee members. Howard said he knew nothing of the postponement until he arrived at the NAACP office Tuesday. He was met by a postponement sign on the door. Howard is a wellknown community advocate. A city native, he was a star athlete at Carver High School before going on to play at the University of Colorado and with the Dallas Cowboys. After his football glory days, he came back home to work as the senior events coordinator at the Benton Convention Center and spent a lot of time coaching Pee Wee league football. He has also been an ardent supporter of his alma mater. He is the former head of the Carver Alumni

Association and was one of the loudest voices speaking against threats to close Carver. Howard was adamant that he wasn’t running against Patterson – whom he called his protege – but running on his own merits. “I’m running on visibility, dependability and accountability,” he said. “The same way that I would do if I was making a play in the game. I’m going to be visible on the field, dependable during
the play and accountable for the play. It’s the same if I were to become president.” Howard said he feels he has been called to lead the organization. That call, he said, grew louder when local NAACP members approached him about running. “I think they asked me because I’m community-based and -oriented. They know that I will work on improving the community,” Howard said. “We need people

who are going to be focused on economics, bringing jobs to the area and education. We should be out there getting those things for our communities.” Patterson is also a city native and serves as legal council for the state NAACP. He grew up in public housing and defied the odds by attending college and then earning a law degree. The incumbent said his record speaks for itself and that under his leadership, membership has increased and the organization has received funds from the city to renovate its headquarters – a former city rec center. Patterson said once
renovation is complete, he plans to have a computer lab, and mentoring and after school programs for the community. “I have the leadership skills, the know how and the enthusiasm to lead the organization forward. I understand the vision of the agency statewide,” Patterson said. “I’m not just a figure head or doing this to buff up my resume; I am working to be the voice of the people.” As of press time, a new date had not been set for election.

WSSU PANEL TACKLES EBOLA
BY CHANEL DAVIS THE CHRONICLE
Ebola was the topic on Tuesday, Nov. 11 during an international relations class at Winston-Salem State University. A panel discussed Ebola’s causes, its transmission and the economic toll of fighting the disease. With Ebola fears high in this country and around the world, the discussion drew great interest. Curiosity attracted sophomore Kyannah Sommerville. “I would like to fully understand what is going on,” said Sommerville, who was unaware that there have been several Ebola cases in the U.S. until her roommate informed her. “I wasn’t fully informed when I first heard about it, and I figured it would be a great time to learn more.” Many students had questions about how Ebola is spread. Health experts agree that Ebola is extremely difficult to catch. Unlike the flu, it is not airborne. Panelist Jeffery Meixner, an associate professor of Clinical Laboratory Sciences, said despite the hoopla, Americans are still

Foundation – found that Hispanics pumped $9.5 billion into the state’s economy in 2010. “Do you think North Carolina can afford to lose $9.5 billion?” he asked. He countered the jobstealing argument with hard figures he claims show that the often lowpaying jobs Hispanics are forced to take because of language and citizenship barriers have created socalled spin-off industries that have spawned close to 100,000 jobs and sustained Tar Heel State mainstays like agriculture and textiles. “Some people have gotten very good at playing fear factor,” Castro said of those who vehemently argue against immigration. Castro touched upon the controversial comprehensive immigration reform bill that stalled in the U.S. House of Representatives in 2013 after passing through the Senate. That issue is very much in the national spotlight this week as President Obama is reportedly set to bypass Congress by signing an executive order that could protect up to five million people from depor-
tation. Such an action would still be far less sweeping than the bill the Senate passed. It would have cleared a path to citizenship for 11.5 million people who are in the United States illegally. Wilburn said some sort of action is needed immediately. The N.C. Council of Churches has been alarmed by resolutions passed in Surry and other N.C. counties that it says discourage undocumented children from attending school. “These counties are making it clear that unaccompanied minors are not welcome here and will receive no support,” Wilburn said in a statement. “As North Carolinians and people of faith, we need to make it clear that we are the people who do not neglect the stranger, and we are the people who do not turn away children from our communities. While we may disagree about some of the policy particulars moving forward, we are united in the belief that every person is a child of God and that we are called to offer hospitality to our neighbors.” Learn more at www.ncchurches.org and www.latinocoalitionnc.org.

Kasper new at Walter Robbs
C AREERS
Walter Robbs Callahan & Pierce Architects (Walter Robbs) has hired Scott Kasper as a senior project designer. He previously worked at Cannon Design in Boston, where he spent more than eight years building expertise in the design of higher education and sports facilities. He holds a Bachelor of Architecture degree from Boston Architectural College. Kasper is a United Kasper States Army veteran and worked as the Salisbury Veterans Administration Medical Center Campus architect prior to joining Walter Robbs, the largest architectural firm in the Piedmont Triad and a past recipient of the N.C. American Institute of Architects’ Outstanding Firm Award and a national AIA design award.
Title IX coordinator at WFU Wake Forest University has named Tanya L. Jachimiak, a legal professional with six years experience in higher education law, as its first fulltime Title IX Coordinator. Jachimiak comes to Wake Forest as the Title IX coordinator at the University of Illinois at Chicago. She received her law degree in 1998 from DePaul University College of Law in Chicago. Her primary responsibility at Wake Forest will be the coordination and implementation of the university’s Title IX compliance efforts – to strengthen a culture that supports a safe and respectful learning, working and living environment. Vice Provost Lynn Sutton said that until now, someone with a joint appointment in the Employee Relations office had handled the Title IX coordinator’s responsibilities. “University leadership believes that our Title IX compliance efforts need a full-time coordinator who can devote their sole time and attention to the topic.” she said. Title IX is a law passed in 1972 that prevents sex discrimination in every educational program that receives federal funding. While its initial focus was on athletics, the law has expanded to include other areas such as access to higher education, employment, learning environment, sexual harassment and standardized testing and technology. “I am really excited to be joining the university. At the forefront, Wake Forest, its administration and its students have done an amazing job related to Title IX compliance,” Jachimiak said. “But there is always room to further efforts to ensure that the campus environment overall is free not only of sexual assault, but other forms of sexual misconduct and harassment.” Jachimiak said training and education will be key components toward creating an environment and culture “where survivors feel safe and empowered to come forward regardless of their gender or sexual orientation because sexual misconduct in all its many forms does not just happen to women by men.”
UNCG at the top
The graduate program in the UNCG Department of Human Development and Family Studies (HDFS) has earned a Top 10 ranking in The HDFS Report, an inaugural ranking of programs in the field. UNCG's graduate program tied for seventh place and was first in North Carolina in the ranking of the overall reputation and quality among the 52 doctoral-granting HDFS departments in North America. In the specific area of child development, UNCG’s department tied for fourth place. The rankings were released by Clair Kamp Dush, Ph.D, an associate professor of human development and family science at The Ohio State University. Dush wrote that, to her knowledge, the list was the Fine first publicly available ranking of human development and family science programs. “We are very pleased that our graduate program has been rated so highly in the very first systematic and comprehensive rating of Ph.D. granting HDFS programs in North America,” said Mark Fine, Ph.D, chair of UNCG’s department. “This recognition by HDFS scholars in the United States and Canada suggests that our efforts to train the next generation of researchers and practitioners in human development and family studies are on the right track.” The UNCG Department of Human Development and Family Studies seeks to enhance the quality of life for individuals across the lifespan within their diverse and changing relationships, families, social networks and communities. The department is housed in the UNCG School of Health and Human Sciences. “Faculty in the UNCG Department of Human Development and Family Studies are teaching the next generation of child development professionals, engaging in outstanding child and family research, directing the Child Care Education Program on campus and administering the rated license project for early child care in North Carolina,” said Celia Hooper, Ph.D., dean of the UNCG School of Health and Human Sciences.

Adams, a Greensboro resident who previously served in the N.C.

Johnson-Tonkins is Guilford’s new Clerk of Court CHRONICLE STAFF REPORT
An N.C. A&T Aggie is the new Guilford County Clerk of Superior Court. Democrat Lisa JohnsonTonkins won 58 percent of the vote on Election Day in a county that swings Republican. She beat Democratic incumbent David Churchill in the May primary. An assistant district attorney, Johnson-Tonkins has politics in her blood. Her mother is Yvonne Johnson, a former Greensboro mayor and long-time member of the City Council. Her father, Walter Johnson, was a defense a t t o r n e y. Though s h e worked on her mother’s campaigns, JohnsonTo n k i n s said being Johnson-Tonkins the one on the ballot is a whole other ballgame. “It’s a lot different when you're running yourself,” JohnsonTonkins told the A&T Alumni Times. “It was an eye-opener.” Johnson-Tonkins said the idea to run wasn’t hers. “I was actually approached to run,” she said. “Attorneys and others in the community asked if I would consider it, and I said no.” She reconsidered after thinking about all the good she could do. The clerk’s office had been criticized for customer service shortfalls and employee morale was said to be low. “I realized I could make a positive change,” she says. Johnson-Tonkins graduated from A&T in 1994 with a degree in public relations. After college, she went to work in her father’s law office, doing research, drafting documents and managing his office. After six years of that, she entered law school at North Carolina Central University. After earning her law degree, she became an associate at her father’s firm. She has been an assistant prosecutor for the past eight years. Clerks of court have a long list of responsibilities and wide-ranging power. When she begins carrying out those myriad duties on Dec. 1, Johnson-Tonkins says she will stick closely to her campaign promise to be the “ultimate in customer service.”

Hornets fight Ebola
In an effort to raise awareness of and funds for Ebola relief in West Africa, the Charlotte Hornets and Noah Vonleh asked fans to support UNICEF’s (United Nations Children's Fund’s) lifesaving work at the team’s game vs. the Dallas Mavericks on Monday, Nov. 17. The Ebola outbreak hits close to home for Vonleh. His parents are originally from Liberia – one of the West African countries at the epicenter of the outbreak – and he has family that still lives there. Hornets had several opportunities to assist in providing financial support to UNICEF’s Ebola relief efforts between Friday, Nov. 13 and Monday, Nov. 17. Vonleh matched every donation up to $5,000 Vonleh from the effort’s textto-donate campaign. Additionally, fans who attended Monday’s game had the opportunity to participate in a $20 in-game raffle for the opportunity to win a postgame meet and greet and autographed sneakers from Vonleh and Al Jefferson. There was also a silent auction in which fans could bid on the , following experiences: postgame meet and wgreet and game-worn jersey from Jefferson; postgame meet and greet and game-worn sneakers from Kemba Walker; and a postgame ymeet and greet and sneakers from Cody Zeller. s “I’m proud to help assist in raising awareness and financial support for the fight against Ebola,” said Vonleh. “This is a cause that is -close to my heart, having family in one of the noutbreak areas.

What would you do if you were a MexicanAmerican child growing up in a poor family in south Texas with the dream of becoming a television news reporter? If you’re John Quiñones, Emmy award-winning journalist with ABC News, you take life one step at a time, and you don’t let negativity or stereotypes hold you back.

The program will be offered during both the spring and fall semesters The registration deadline for spring semester is Dec. 15. Acting Out! initially will offer instruction in acting, stage combat, private voice lessons and musical theatre. Classes Hawley are grouped by school grade level and for adults. “The birth of Acting Out! came from UNCSA’s desire to do more outreach into the local community, particularly in relation to celebrating the school’s 50th anniversary this year,” said Janine Hawley, adjunct faculty member at UNCSA and program coordinator for Acting Out! “We asked ourselves, ‘How do we take the school out to the city and bring the city into the school?’ After a period of investigation and deliberation, our deans decided the greatest need in the community is programming from the School of Drama.” Acting Out! will culminate at the end of the semester with a special program called Play-in-aDay, for which all students will have assigned roles. The cost to participate in the program ranges from $335 to $495. Learn more at uncsa.edu/actingout or call 336-734-2948.

MLK Commission picks essay winners SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE
The N.C. Human Relations Commission recognized the three winners of the Martin Luther King Jr. Commission’s youth essay contest in Raleigh on Nov. 12. The contest was part of a program through the Durhambased Thomas Mentor Leadership Academy, which has launched the Youth Dream Project to educate young male “cadets” between the ages of 10 – 15 about the life and legacy of Dr. King. The MLK Commission recently awarded a $2,000 grant to the Youth Dream Project. The grant included an educational trip to the National Civil Rights Museum in Memphis, Tenn., which is at the site where Dr. King was assassinated. The cadets wrote essays upon completing this trip. The essays were evaluated on their understanding of the life and philosophy of Dr. King, and the impact of his vision on the writer’s personal dreams and goals. Frederick Russell‘s essay won first place, while Brenton Ford and Michael Breeden finished second and third, respectively. The Thomas Mentor Leadership Academy is a nonprofit organization dedicated to mentoring and guiding male youth who are being raised by single parents or grandparents.

‘A Time to Kill’ sparks discussion of race and justice

“Do you think we live in a country where the color of one’s skin determines the quality, or the type of justice?” That was a question posed by Aaron Singleton as he moderated Twin City Stage’s “Balancing the Scales: A Community Forum on How Justice Works in Today's America” on Sunday, Nov. 9. A panel of locals tackled that question and many more like it after a matinee staging of “A Time to Kill.” The play, which TCS presented earlier this month, is based on the 1989 John Grisham employee, currently servnovel that revolves around ing as director of News and the issues of race and jus- Media Relations.) tice that are raised when a Mitchell and Harris black man, Carl Lee said the act of avenging is Hailey, murders two white as old as mankind. men after they were exon- Historically, acts of erated for raping his vengeance for wrongdoing daughter.

METAL ON METAL HIP PATIENTS cutors is the concept of revenge.” Freedman also critiqued drug laws, which are more harsh for crack offenses that minorities are often charged with than for cocaine, a drug more likely to land whites in the criminal justice system. Freedman said the harsher sentences for crack is one of the many factors for the disproportionate amount of minorities in prison. “Even more dangerous than the ‘three strikes you’re out’ law is the mandatory drug minimums that got instituted back in the late ‘80s, and all of Congress believed that crack was Ebola at that time, even though there was no chemical difference between crack and cocaine,” he said. The audience was actively engaged in the conversation, sharing their own frustrations with everything from the media and education system to the societal stereotypes they said contribute to inequalities. Yancy Parker, the brother of actor Derrick Parker, traveled with his family from Charlotte to see the play and listen to the panel discussion. He described the warnings he gives to his son to keep him safe in a society that views black men with suspicion. He has told him not to take a bag into a store and to always keep the receipt after buying something to prevent accusations of theft. He told him if he’s ever followed in a store, to just go about his business and don’t be confrontational. Parker said

black parents everywhere share such lessons with their kids. Panelists did see hope for improvements in judicial inequality. Freedman said the nation seems to be relaxing its attitude on harsh punishment for drugs. He cited the legalization of marijuana in several states as evidence. Mandatory sentencing is also slowly fading away, said Freedman, who is also encouraged by the increasing number of AfricanAmerican lawyers and judges.

Who is standing for Randall Lindsay?
BLAIR HUTCHINSON Office Manager r d s p - Americans didn’t bother to vote in the recent General Elections, and pollsters and analysts are postulating as to why. We have our own theory – Randall Lindsay. He’s the 54-year-old disabled man whose story we featured last week. His water bill is more than $3,000. And though city officials all agree that only some great anomaly would produce such a bill, they ’ have continued to send him one exorbitant bill after s another and have threatened to cut his service. e The city says it is up to Lindsay’s landlord to find , and correct the problem since it has examined the issue and has found no irregularities with Lindsay’s s meter or other city equipment. The landlord, of r course, has denied responsibility for his tenant’s t high bills. That’s no surprise. We expect businesse people to be businesspeople, to yell and scream r when the integrity of their product is called into question, to do (or not do in this case) whatever to t takes to save a buck. But from the city – the people’s company – we expect better. n - We elect the CEOs of our company every four years. Armed with vows to be a voice for the people, they humbly seek our votes. Lindsay’s woes would indicate that that’s all lip service. How else do you explain his predicament? He is disabled and low-income – groups our local elected officials claim to hold close to their hearts – yet his pleas for help have fallen on deaf ears. And the bills keep coming. Americans aren’t big on voting because many of them know a Randall Lindsay (many are Randall Lindsays) – people who have been let down by those who, while on the campaign trail, promise to be their voice. But after these candidates are sworn and seated, they became mute, at least on the issues that affect those who elected them. Voter turnout won’t improve until our elected leaders do.

White men still rule
U.S. Rep. Alma Adams was sworn in last week as the new representative of N.C.’s 12th Congressional District. The seat had been vacant since late last year when Mel Watt gave it up to become President Obama’s Federal Housing Finance Agency director, so Adams took her oath two months ahead of other freshmen members of Congress. She made headlines by becoming the 100th woman in the House. While that’s a lot compared to previous decades, many jeered the fact that women made up such a paltry percentage of the 435-member House. The Senate is no better. There are currently 20 women out of 100 members. That figure will likely change next year with Kay Hagan’s defeat and Louisiana’s Mary Landrieu’s expected defeat in next month’s runoff. Despite talk of glass ceilings being shattered and having a black president residing at the White House, it is still very much a white man’s world. We don’t see that changing anytime soon. We, as a nation, are becoming blacker and browner, but that does not mean that the chambers of Congress will follow suit. The female population in this country is slightly higher, and women have always been more reliable voters than men, yet Congress – like the nation’s board rooms, statehouses and governor’s mansions – remains a man’s domain.
Dems failed black candidates Lauren Burke
Guest Columnist
A total of $172 million. That was the record amount the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) raised in 2013 and 2014. But that money was poorly spent, which helped account for such a decisive midterm defeat. Look at the record. On Oct. 26, the DCCC spent $242,421 on a media buy to assist conservative Democrat John Barrow get re-elected. It didn’t work – Barrow lost. In a year featuring a record number of African-Americans running for Congress and statewide, not a dime was spent on a Black candidate for Congress until the 11th hour. If you dare look at FEC.GOV at the way millions were spent on some of the races, do it sitting down – preferably with a stiff drink in your hand. Here are five worthy candidates who didn’t get a dime, but should have: 1. (La.-5) Jamie Mayo – Remember the time Rep. Vance McAllister (R-La.) was caught kissing a staffer on video and it exploded into a big scandal? Well, McAllister pulled a David Vitter and forgot to resign and is still in Congress. McAllister should have been an easy mark for Democrats. With a district that is 34 percent AfricanAmerican and a Senate race in Louisiana, who
knows what would have happened if the Dems had invested in the race. Mayo is set to win the “jungle primary” in December and then everyone assumes he’ll lose. But once again, the DCCC rolled the dice on other candidates who were running in red seats. Why not invest in the mayor of Monroe, La.? 2. (Ga.-1) Brian Reese vs. Buddy Carter (R) — The unwritten rule for Democrats appears to be: All money spent on anyone running for Congress in Georgia must go to John Barrow. Even though Barrow was helped by Democrats to the tune of $2.3 million, he lost. In a year where there is a governor’s race, a Senate race, five Black women on the ballot and big fat spending by DSCC on Black turnout, one would think Democrats might catch a clue that 2014 may have been a good time to fund a Black congressional candidate in Georgia. You know, Georgia, right? It is a state that’s 30 percent Black, the third most Blacks in the U.S. That Georgia. Georgia’s 1st District was open for the first time in 22 years. 3. (Minn.-3) Sharon Sund vs. Erik Paulsen (R) – This is the case of a “lean Dem” seat that Democrats haven’t bothered to compete in. This seat went 51 percent to 47 percent for Obama in 2008 and 49 percent to 48 percent for Obama in 2012. You understand there is always some reason not to try to win a seat with an incumbent ‘R’ sitting there — unless there isn’t. Sund is a progressive candidate in a progressive leaning district. But watch

carefully: DCCC went after incumbent Republican Lee Terry in what is a red seat. Perhaps the gamble will pay off but why not go hard after seats that lean blue? 4. (Fla.-16) Henry Lawrence vs. Vern Buchanan (R). Arkansas-2 went 54 percent to 42 percent for Romney in 2012. Florida-16 went 54 percent to 44 percent for Romney in 2012. Which seat are the Democrats spending millions on? That would be the Arkansas seat and not the Florida one. Henry Lawrence is a former NFL player who played for the Oakland Raiders in the 1970s. Lawrence played in Super Bowl XI, Super Bowl XV and Super Bowl XVIII, giving him three Super Bowl rings. 5. (SC-7) Gloria Tinubu vs Tom Rice (R) – One of the mysteries of the Democratic Party’s strategy is why did they give up on seats with large Black populations in an era of megavoter registration and getout-the-vote efforts. South Carolina’s 7th district is 30 percent Black. Nick Rahall sits in a seat that went 65 percent to 32 percent for Romney and next thing you know millions are spent to save him. It’s just interesting that Tinubu is on her own against a relatively new Republican with not much to say for himself in a 30 percent Black seat and that doesn’t spur a challenge. And Democrats are mystified by how they lost? Lauren Victoria Burke is freelance writer and creator of the blog Crewof42.com.

her of the disproportionate number of times black visitors are asked for their identification on the Salem campus. “When there are parties on campus, minorities are checked more ... by Winston-Salem Police,” Shepperd-Debnam, the president of the Salem Campus Activities Board, said later when asked to elaborate on her claim. Several Wake Forest students had the same complaint, but said that it was campus police behind a systematic pattern of targeting black events and black campus visitors and students for extra scrutiny. A major issue of concern was the policing of events held by black fraternities and sororities at The Barn, a social gathering venue at Wake. Several students said campus cops patrol black events to the point of intimidation, while events held by white Greek organizations at campus frat houses receive little to no attention. “There have been policies put in place for that particular structure” that appear to show a “lack of equity by campus police” as far as social events on campus, said senior Javar Jones. Participants were divided into four groups. Each group had a facilitator who directed the discussion around 10 questions that focused on everything from stereotypes to transparency. In a group facilitated by Human Relations Commissioner Michael Clinton, Wake Forest students Chizoba Ukairo and William Ray III said campus police citation statistics bear out their claim that blacks are disproportionately targeted. Ukairo said for a school with such a small black population, Wake Forest hands out a large number of citations to African-Americans. Patricia Bolling, a gate security officer at Wake, denied that any group is targeted, telling Ukairo and Ray that as a black woman, she would not stand for any form of discrimination. In a separate discussion group, Wake Forest Police Cpl. James Gravely said there have been incidents at The Barn that have warranted a greater police presence. He said there were once six fights at The Barn at one time. He said three campus police officers could not handle the situation alone, so three Winston-Salem police officers were called in to assist them. “Three officers can’t handle six fights,” he said. Wake Forest Police Chief Regina Lawson was on hand – as were Forsyth Tech Chief Renarde Earl, Salem College Chief Christopher Batista, and WSSU Deputy Chief Keenan Williams. Lawson said she could not com-

Assistant DA Jennifer Martin ment on students’ specific allegations. All press inquires, she said, must be handled by the school’s media relations wing. WSSU students and campus officers agreed that they butt heads mostly over parking citations; otherwise, they said, relations are congenial. “We have a unique relationship with our students. It’s almost like family,” Deputy Chief Williams said. Forsyth Tech student Chris Pankey, an aspiring television reporter, said he has never had an issue on campus with officers. It is a different story off campus, though. In his group, he described feeling like he has been racially profiled by police because he is an
African-American male. “I see no problems at all on our campus. I came to address what I see in the community with police and residents,” he said. Several students complained that officers were not friendly on their campuses and only interact with them when there is trouble. Assistant DA Martin defended officers, saying they are humanbegins with lives and issues outside of work. Rountree and at least one campus police officer invited students to ride alongside officers on patrol to see what they endure. Allen-Abraha said the Human Relations Commission will next facilitate an on-campus discussion at each of the schools to keep the conversation going. “This needs to continue,” she said. “The next step naturally needs to be ... what are some solutions we can communicate together.” The University of North Carolina School of the Arts was invited to take part, but had to decline because of its hectic production schedule, AllenAbraha said. She said UNCSA has agreed to an on-campus discussion.

He received a bachelor’s in speech communications from St. Mary’s University and a master’s degree from Columbia School of Journalism. Meanwhile, he spent many hours practicing his diction in preparation for becoming a reporter, first on the radio and then television. Quiñones made his career telling stories of people who didn’t have a voice, he said, and he believes he was uniquely qualified as a Latino to illuminate injustice and discrimination.

Dixie Classic Fairgrounds on Friday, Nov. 14 and Saturday, Nov. 15. About 1,000 people were expected to receive treatment – everything from cleanings to extractions and filings – over the two days, said Dr. Tony Porter, a WinstonSalem dentist who helped to organize the local clinic. NCMOM relies on volunteer dentists like Porter and other volunteer oral health professionals to stage the free clinics. In all, more than 300 volunteers manned the two-day clinic. In addition, more than 500 community volunteers were on hand to serve as translators, parking attendants and medical scribes. Patients were seen on a first-come, first-served basis. When the doors opened at 6 a.m. on Friday, hundreds of people were already waiting outside, braving temperatures in the 30s. “We got here this morning and there were over 600 people. By 8 a.m., there were more than 800 people here already,” Porter said. Eighty dental chairs were set up inside the building; a digital x-ray truck was also stationed inside. Patients were given wristbands embossed with a number denoting their place on the waiting list. Those with particularly high numbers had the option of returning on Saturday, when their wait wouldn’t be as long. Once a patient made it into the treatment area, they provided their medical history, received an x-ray and then an exam. After that, volunteers decided what the patient’s most pressing need was and proceeded with the treatment. “There is an awful lot of people who do not have access to dental care. We know the economy’s bad and that money’s tight,” Porter said. “Dentistry gets put on the back burner when times get tight. We know that so we are here to address that need.” NCMOM receives

Kim Nichols drove all the way from Kings Mountain on the night of Thursday, Nov. 13 to be be examined. She arrived at 11:45 p.m. and slept in her car until doors opened. She said her need outweighed her travel and wait. “I feel like it’s good that they are giving this service for people who cannot afford it,” she said. “I’m a little bit sleepy but I will be OK.” After arriving at about 5:30 a.m., Winston-Salem resident Qiana Williams was the 83rd person in line. She has no dental insurance and came to get her wisdom teeth removed, a costly procedure. “They were causing so many problems and pain. Everywhere I went they wanted to send me to an oral surgeon. It was like $1,200 for them to take out wisdom teeth,” Williams said. She called the service and the professionals who provided top-notch. “The way they did it was so efficient. It took 20 to 30 minutes. My dentist was also very funny and really nice,” Williams said.

At the start of the junior varsity football season, the outlook for North Forsyth didn’t look particularly promising. The Vikings lost their first two games, but managed to recover from the sluggish start and won seven of their last eight. North Forsyth had a chance to bag another win, but fell short in a 30-28 loss to Ledford in the final game of the season. The Vikings failed to convert on a couple of two-point conversions, which Hill ultimately came back to haunt them. “The Ledford game came down to which team had the ball last,” said North Forsyth coach David Hill, whose team finished the season at 7-3. “Ledford had a very good running game and we weren't able to stop it. They kept the ball for the final three minutes and ran out the clock. As for the start of our season, it was rough. It took some time to build team chemistry, but as our guys gelled, they started to trust each other more and more. In the process, this team learned to play hard from opening kickoff to the final whistle.” One of the keys to the turnaround was the return of the starting quarterback from

QEA Point Guard DeAngelo Bruster in action.
Quality Education Academy earned a split at the Phenom Hoops National High School Showcase played at Forsyth Country Day last weekend. The Pharaohs opened with an 81-57 victory over Genesis Academy (Va.), and then suffered a gut-wrenching 65-59 defeat to St. Louis Christian (Mo.) the next day. This year’s showcase featured 20 of the top teams in the region and the nation. Three of the teams – Oak Hill Academy (Va.), Huntington Prep (WVa.) and Northside Christian (NC) – played in the Dick’s Sporting Goods National High School Championships last April. In the opener, QEA trailed at the half, but went on a 26-7 spurt in the third quarter to seize control of the game. At the start of the second half, the Pharaohs caused four Love turnovers and took a 36-34 lead on a mid-range jumper by Marsellis Purvis. For the remainder of the third quarter, QEA outscored the opposition 17-5 to put the game away. Pressure defense set the tone for the comeback. For the game, the Pharaohs forced 22 turnovers. Purvis finished with a game-high 18 points and 12 rebounds to lead the way for QEA. Jerron Love contributed 16 points and DeAngelo Bruster added 15 points, seven boards and three steals. Genesis pushed its first-half lead to double digits (3229) with 2:59 to go. For most of the half Genesis took advantage of the foul situation and scored 17 of its points from the free-throw line. Even so, the Pharaohs were still able to close the gap quickly. Brandon Gulley of Genesis was called for a techPhoto by Charles Leftwich Jr.

Another great regular season paid off for the Winston-Salem State Lady Rams when four players were named to the All-Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA) volleyball team. Highlighting the honors was freshman outside hitter Sydney Holland, who was named the 2014 CIAA Rookie of the Year. Holland took home the honor after finishing ranked second on the team and ninth in the CIAA with 256 kills this season. She did more than score points for the Lady Rams as she also led the team and ranked 15th in the CIAA with 239 digs. This season, Holland joined an exclusive group of players as only five have recorded over 200 kills with over 200 digs in a season since 2001.

At this time a year ago, few knew of Dearica Hamby’s athletic ability. She would lead the ACC in scoring and rebounding as a junior, nearly doubling her stats from the season before and was the first Demon Deacon to earn a spot on the AllACC first team in 18 years. As the Wake Forest women's basketball team prepares for the 2014-15 season opener, Hamby is no longer an unknown and she has high expectations for her final season in a Wake Forest uniform. It is hard to believe that the lanky forward who led the ACC in scoring (22.0) and rebounding (11.0) didn't Hoover start playing basketball until her sophomore year of high school. “My game has completely evolved,” Hamby said. “I never thought I'd be in the position I am now.” The Marietta, Ga. native was ranked the 28th-best forward in the country by ESPN HoopGurlz and was in the top 100 players in the nation coming out of high school. Now Hamby has completely blossomed, and those accolades have progressed into her most recent honors of Coaches' and Blue Ribbon Poll' Preseason All-ACC teams. Hamby's relentless drive and determination have been key to her speedy improvements. "You see her constantly trying to add another dimension to her game," said head coach Jen Hoover. "She is always working out; she watches the game...her development has just been phenomenal. I remember the first day I was on campus and worked out with her. I knew then she had the ability to play professionally." Hoover describes Hamby's game as unorthodox. She slithers past opponents, craftily scores in triple teams, runs the floor like a guard and poses as a defensive nuisance to any opposing player, big or small. Hamby highlighted defense as the part of her game she would like to showcase this year because she understands the heavy impact it has on the team's success. "When I can alter shots and use my length to get steals, it will definitely help us out," Hamby said. The senior did just that last year, leading the team in blocks at 33 and finishing fifth in the ACC in steals with 65. The team knows Hamby won't be able to surprise anyone this season and every scouting report will put a heavy emphasis on shutting her down. Hoover said that Hamby had been working hard in the offseason to prepare for the added spotlight.

"It's going to have to be us holding ourselves to a higher standard. Realizing that my teammates look up to me and making sure that I'm always doing the right thing is not easy, but I know how important it is for me to be a leader on and off the floor.”

Young gardeners give to Ronald McDonald House SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE
The Ken Carlson Boys & Girls Club Garden Club just finished its sixth and most successful season. On four Fridays during the summer, the kids set up a vegetable stand outside of the club and sold produce from their garden and other community gardens, including ones maintained by the Phi Omega Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority and Winston-Salem State University. Through sales and donations, the kids netted more than $300. The young Garden Club members were in agreement that they wanted to use the money to help hospitalized children. To that end, the funds were used to purchase clothes for premature babies and toys for children whose families stay at the Ronald McDonald House. Children and volunteers delivered their gifts to the Ronald McDonald House on Nov. 14. They were treated to a tour by Development Director Mindy Bloom. The success of the Garden Club is the result of the contribution of many volunteers. It was started by Margaret Savoca and Bruce Bradford in 2009 and has involved 200 children since then. Volunteers from Wake Forest University and the University of North Carolina Greensboro and community members work with children twice a week from April through October. The club has two gardens with more

Main Street Academy visits Civil Rights Museum
Main Street Academy students and staff pose during their visit.
SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE
Main Street Academy students received an education outside the classroom when they toured the International Civil Rights Center and Museum in Greensboro earlier this month. During the tour, students were able to view artifacts and learn about individuals in the Civil Rights Movement. By the conclusion of the tour, stu-
dents were able to identify and verbalize the courage and resilience of many people during the Civil Rights Movement. Main Street Academy is an alternative learning school for students in grades 6-12 in WinstonSalem. Miracle Harris, a sophomore, was excited about the visit. “I’m very proud of my ancestry. I’m amazed that America would treat African-Americans as sec-
ond-class citizens simply because of our race,” she said. Freshman Alaja Dixon said, “It was interesting to me to learn how life was in America before desegregation. I’m also glad to learn more about persons who fought for our Civil Rights besides Martin Luther King and Rosa Parks.” Sophomore Courtney Prevette was intrigued by what she learned about her country.

“I learned a great deal about how bad America was. I’m glad the country appears to be trying to change,” she said. Teacher Marilyn Holder organized the trip; said she was pleased with the outcome. “This is the type of exposure we have planned for our students at Main Street Academy. We have an excellent group of children, and they deserve the best that we have to offer.”
