Sunday voting rally attracts hundreds BY T. KEVIN WALKER THE CHRONICLE
They marched. They chanted and sang. They voted. Souls to the Polls in Winston-Salem accomplished its mission Sunday. About 300 people left their home churches and zipped over to United Metropolitan Missionary Baptist Church. They picked out signs and banners to carry, and after getting a few directions from Ministers Conference of Winston-Salem and Vicinity President Willard Bass, they began the 10 minute trek down Third Street and up Chestnut Street. The chants grew louder as they reached the Board of Elections in the Forsyth County Government Center. “This is what Democracy looks like,” they shouted. Inside the building, their commitment to democracy – and their patience – would be tested: early voters waited in a line that snaked up a flight of stairs. Up to an hour was given as the estimated wait time. The scene vexed Linda Sutton, the city representative for Members of Carolina Cruisers wait across from the Forsyth County the grassroots voting rights group Democracy North Government Center.

Celebrations planned as library turns 60 BY CHANEL DAVIS THE CHRONICLE
Organizers of the 60th anniversary celebration for the Malloy/Jordan East Winston Heritage Center want residents with fond memories of the center – the city’s historically black library – to share them. “This library has been a staple in the African-American community, and we would like to preserve and acknowledge that information,” said Abiodun Harris, program director of the Friends of the Malloy/Jordan East Winston Heritage Center. The library began in a small room in the now defunct Chestnut Street YWCA branch in February 1927. The room was named the George Moses Horton branch and was designated for blacks. It moved to a free-standing building on East Sixth Street in 1937 and expanded to include a Children’s Room. In April 1953, the library moved
Messa Hunder was looking forward to seeing Thelma Allen next month. The sisters haven’t been face-to-face since 1994. But their reunion is on hold for the time being. Hunder, a native Liberian, says the Ebola outbreak in the West African country has made it difficult for her to secure a flight home. “I haven’t seen her for a long time, and it hurts me to know that if she has that disease, I won’t see her anymore,” she said. “I went to British Airways to get my ticket, and they told me I wouldn’t be able to fly in.” (The Chronicle could not independently verify that British Airways has implemented West Africa flight restrictions.) WinstonSalem has a large and vibrant L i b e r i a n American commuMessa Hunder nity; they have been affected in myriad ways by Ebola and the worldwide hysteria surrounding it. Hunder and other local Liberians were at City Hall last week when Mayor Allen Joines announced plans to send aid to Browne Liberia, one of several African countries that have become Ground Zero in the battle to tame the virulent sickness. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that Ebola has claimed the lives of roughly 2,705 Liberians in recent months. Hunder says her sister is Ebola free, but Allen's health is a source of constant worry. “They are feeling scared,” Hunder said of her sister and other family. “I told them not to go anywhere like the marketplace or churches where many people are. I admonish her to not shake any hands. When I call her, she’s home but it is scary for me because I have other friends in Liberia. I fear for them having to go through the (decade-long civil) war and now this.” The City of Winston-Salem, Novant Health Forsyth Medical Center and Wake Forest Baptist Health are sending medical supplies to the country through the nonprofit Samaritan’s Purse. The Liberian Organization of the Piedmont, which is led by Messa’s husband, James Hunder, had implored local leaders to take action. Medical gowns, syringes, surgical masks and shields, catheters, gloves and shoe covers valued at between $10,000 to $15,000 are being sent. According to Kendall Kauffeldt, director of Liberia and West Africa donations for Samaritan’s Purse, much of the equipment will be used in homes.

House for a moratorium on executions and later was the champion of the Racial Justice Act in the House, which became law in 2009. “He was untiring in his enthusiasm for acknowledging and righting the wrongs of the death penalty. He could always be counted on to not only be ever-present in leadership but to always bring a spirit of warmth, kindness, and humor to his leadership,� said PFADP Executive Director Stephen Dear. “He fostered support from religious leaders and a diverse coalition of advocates and citizens.� NC Sen.

and adults as well. Brenda Robinson said the sense of the community also remains. “It was a place to congregate that was safe and our parents allowed us to come here. They wouldn’t worry because the librarians were like second mothers,” she said. The Friends of the Malloy/Jordan East Winston Heritage Center has chosen “Celebrating 60 years of Promoting Literacy in the East Winston Community” as the anniversary theme. On Nov. 14 from 4-6 p.m., there will an oral and video presentation of those who were part of the beginning of the library’s history, politicians and community leaders. On Saturday, Nov. 15 from 1-5 p.m., “Unity in the Community Day” will be held. During the event, residents will be invited to record their memories of the library in the onsite StoryLine van. Two colloquiums – “The Importance of the Black Community’s Role in Education during Segregation” and “Our Youth and their Education Today: Where are we headed?” – will be held on Sunday, Nov. 16 beginning at 1 p.m. Robinson is encouraging the community to come out and celebrate one of its last remaining institutions. “This is a landmark for us. It is something we needed in our community that we didn’t have, and it was something that is still an important factor in children’s lives today,” she said. “They learn black history, see black history, look at art that they may never see again or may never have seen before.”

again to a new home on East Seventh Street, where it remains today. The land was donated by three prominent local AfricanAmerican doctors: Dr. H.D. Malloy, his son, Dr. H.R. Malloy, and Dr. J.C. Jordan. About 10 years ago, the library’s name was changed to celebrate the doctor’s selfless contribution to the community. Friends President James Ford said the library has always been a special place for AfricanAmericans. Meetings and special events that attracted both the young and old have long been held there, he said. “We read books and participated in different programs throughout my academic life,” Ford said. “The institution was a part of East Winston. A lot of things were organized there under segregated conditions, like NAACP meetings, debutante meetings and bringing in writers like Langston Hughes (who visited the library on Feb. 6, 1949).” He playfully recalled crashing the etiquette classes for girls the library used to hold. “The guys and I would walk over from Kennedy (School) on the pretense of reading books and studying, but we were there for the girls,” he said. “We would get involved in conversations, but as a rule, the library was strict on being silent. If the librarian would catch you talking, she would give you a warning, and if you continued to talk, she would put you out. I didn’t last long because I was always trying to talk to the girls.” Today, the center houses a treasure trove of local black historical items, including a number of items from the original Atkins High School. There are still books to check out and programs for children

Volunteers offering voters reminders and transportation
Democracy WinstonSalem: The Voting Rights Coalition is running an election season phonebank operation out of Goler Memorial A.M.E. Zion Church. Since Oct. 13, between five and 10 volunteers a day have been calling local residents to get-out-the vote. The names of those who need rides to polling places are also being collected. Several volunteers have signed-up to drive voters to the polls during early voting and on Election Day, said organizer Linda Sutton. “We have been taking people from University Place, Crystal Towers, Sunrise Towers and several assisted living centers (to vote),” said Sutton. “Helping one person, in my opinion, is shining a light on democracy and shows that people want to vote and that not having transportation is not going to stop them.” The volunteers make calls from a list compiled by the nonpartisan Voter Activation Network. Residents are informed that early voting has started and that Election Day is Tuesday, Nov. 4. They are also asked if they need a ride to the polls. Sutton said the effort targets voters who do not typically vote during Midterm elections. “We started by calling the top 10 lowest turnout precincts and will move on to the others,” Sutton said. “We have a lot of

It was an important day for them,” she said. “Since then, I’ve always thought that I should vote.” Williams said those who don’t vote have little room to complain about the state of affairs. “We all should vote because we know what is going on in society and the state.

UNCG chancellor retiring
CHRONICLE STAFF REPORT
UNCG Chancellor Linda P. Brady will retire July 31, 2015 after seven years at the helm. Brady said she is announcing her plans at this time to provide a search committee sufficient time to identify a successor and ensure a smooth leadership transition for the start of the 2015-16 academic year on Aug. 1, 2015. In addition, UNCG recently launched an 18-month strategic visioning and planning process to set the university’s course for 2016 to 2026. “When I accepted the role as chancellor of this fine university in 2008, I had envisioned retiring after a seven-year tenure,” said Brady, 66. “As we embark upon our strategic visioning and planning process, I believe the time is right to begin identifying a successor as it will be important for this university’s next leader to participate in this important process and lead UNCG into the future.” Throughout her tenure at UNCG, Brady has emphasized student access and success, interdisciplinary research, globalization and engagement. Among her UNCG Photo many achievements at Chancellor Linda P. Brady will retire next summer.

WFU changes MBA program
CHRONICLE STAFF REPORT
Wake Forest University School of Business will no longer offer incoming students admission to a traditional daytime MBA program. School leaders say the change is the result of market changes and students’ desires to study for a degree without interrupting their careers. “As Wake Forest prepares tomorrow’s business leaders for an everchanging global economy, we must be nimble and innovative in how we educate our students today,” said Wake Forest University School of Business Dean Charles Iacovou. “Business models are evolving more rapidly than ever and business education must innovate. Quality education, better experience, easier access: that’s our vision for the future of the MBA.” Iacovou In the past five years, Wake Forest has experienced double and tripledigit growth in its pre-experience graduate programs and MBA programs for Kelly working professionals. Careful assessment of the marketplace and identification of these growth sectors make taking this strategic direction a benefit for employers and students. According to a recent report from the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), nearly 64 percent of U.S. MBA students were enrolled in programs that could be pursued while also gaining experience in their careers “We are invested in MBA education,” Iacovou said. “Our School very much believes in the value that an MBA provides to our graduates and their employers. Our decision is a proactive step that will allow us to redirect resources and energy to meet the changing needs in the market. We will focus on developing a superior launching platform at the start of our graduates' careers and offering flexible ways on evenings, weekends and through hybrid models for working professionals to continue their education and development.” Alan Kelly, vice president Exxon Mobil Corporation, is applauding the change. “The MBA is a hallmark of business education, and I salute a program that allows students to pursue it without having to interrupt their career path,” he said. “Wake Forest continues to be a thought leader in this space and has long provided the top talent that meets our needs. The market is constantly changing and Wake Forest’s vision is to be responsive and evolve its business model to stay at the forefront and continuously adapt to market needs." In a recent GMAC survey of 2013 MBA alumni, 95 percent believed that their flexible program prepared them for leadership positions in their organizations, at the same level as traditional daytime MBA respondents. “For the vast majority of business schools, traditional daytime MBA enrollments have decreased over the past decade,” said Sherry Moss, MBA program professor and faculty area chair. “Data shows that students prefer flexibly delivered programs that allow them to continue working, enrolling at twice the rate as traditional daytime MBA programs. The way we deliver MBA education needs to change and I am proud to be part of a team who will make the necessary shifts to evolve our MBA delivery models to best serve the needs of students and employers.”

In an effort to make getting annual flu vaccinations more convenient, the Salisbury VA Medical Center is offering drive-thru flu clinics at the Salisbury VAMC and its Community Based Outpatient Clinics in Charlotte, Winston-Salem and Hickory. The vaccinations are free for veterans and are being offered from 8 to 11 a.m. on Nov. 15 and Dec. 13. Any Veteran interested in receiving a vaccination doesn’t even have to get out of their vehicle, but must show a VA healthcare enrollment card at the time of vaccination. The clinics will be
offered at the entrance of Primary Care in Building 3 on the Salisbury VAMC campus and at the front entrance of each CBOC. Sabrina Adkins, chief nurse for Primary Care, said offering the drive thru flu
clinics is just one more way the medical center can ensure Veterans receive care in the most convenient way possible. “We know many people work during the week, and we just wanted to be able to
provide another option for people to get their vaccination while making it convenient,” she said. Adkins added, vaccinations are a good idea for anyone, six months and older, as a deterrent to catching the flu virus. “Flu vaccinations are part of preventative health measures, and it’s very important that we provide these services for our Veterans. We all need to take our flu vaccine annually so we build up immunity to all types of flu,” she said. The Salisbury VAMC provided more than 25,000 flu vaccinations for Veterans last year.

Novant Health will shine a spotlight on global women’s health issues at its second International Women’s Health Summit to be held in November. The Maya Angelou International Women’s Health Summit is a multinational collaboration dedicated to highlighting and improving the health of women around the world. This unique forum gives participants from the United States and abroad an opportunity to discuss and learn about issues that affect women’s health at home and around the globe. Cross-culturally, there are disHarris Perry parities in the type of care women receive. According to the World Health Organization, “in most societies, women have lower social status than men, producing unequal power relations. Women have lower status in families, communities and society. They have less access and control over resources and they have less of a say in decision-making than men. These factors have led to a systematic devaluing and neglect of women’s health.” “Women’s health should be a part of the global health conversation,” said Dr. Chere Gregory, senior vice president of women’s services at Novant Health. “Through the second Maya Angelou International Women’s Health Summit, we aim to drive that conversation in a way

Children who start toilet training before age 2 have a three times higher risk of developing daytime wetting problems later, according to new research at Wake Forest Baptist Medical tCenter. e “Parents who train their children early to meet preschool deadlines, to save landfills from diapers or because they think toddlers are easier r to train should know there can be serious reper-cussions,” says lead author Dr. Steve Hodges, an associate professor of g pediatric urology at Wake Forest Baptist. The study, reported online in Research and e Reports in Urology, involved 112 children ages 3 to 10. About half m were seen in the urology department for daytime wetting or urinary r urgency/frequency. They Hodges were compared to a pgroup seen in a general pediatric clinic and -pediatric emergency room who had no history of dysfunctional voiding. A questionnaire was used to gather infortmation on the age toilet training was initiated tand the presence of daytime voiding dysfunction. Patients were grouped into three categories of potty training: early (before age 2), 3normal (between 2 and 3) and late (after age 3) training. There were 38 early, 64 normal and 10 mlate trainers. Sixty percent of the early trainers had day-time wetting. They had a 3.37 times increased risk of daytime wetness as compared to the norsmal group. The researchers believe early trainAers are more prone to subsequent voiding dysfunction because they are more apt to “hold” their stool or urine. “When children hold stool, it backs up in the rectum,” Hodges explained. -“The enlarged rectum presses against the bladtder, reducing its capacity and causing the ,nerves feeding the bladder to go haywire.” - In fact, in the current study, early trainers were three times more likely to complain of constipation than normal trainers. The study also found that among the 10 children who trained after age 3, seven had daytime wetting yproblems, and these same seven also were constipated. The three late trainers who did not have wetting problems were not constipated.

SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE
Davidson County Community College is offering two online Continuing Education courses in 2015 that focus on the cultural health habits of Hispanic and Latino patients. “Cultural Health Habits I” will be offered from Jan. 12 – March 6, 2015. The 50 hours course costs $130. “Cultural Health Habits II” will be offered from March 16 – May 8, 2015. It is 50 hours and costs $130. “As North Carolina’s Hispanic and Latino population continues to grow, it becomes increasingly important that our healthcare providers have a solid understanding of how culture influences the health practices of these patients,” says Becky Daley, associate dean of Health, Wellness and Public Safety. “These courses cover the dialectical differences, health habits, beliefs and folk medicinal practices of our Hispanic and Latino community. They also cover the important roles that family and authority play in their culture.” Persons interested in taking these courses may register online by visiting the Continuing Education page on the DCCC website at www.davidsonccc.edu/learn4life or contact Christie Comer at 336-224-4543 or christie_comer@davidsonnccc.edu, or Diane Hedgecock at 336-224-4791 or diane_hedgecock@davidsonccc.edu.
The Winston-Salem Police and Fire departments are encouraging local residents to remember the following tips on Halloween: • Parents should accompany young trick-or-treaters. Remain with them at all times and hold their hands when crossing the street. • There’s safety in numbers: Trick-or-treat in a group. • Incorporate reflective tape into your child’s costume and have them carry a flashlight or glow stick. • Remind your children to never enter a stranger’s house, talk to strangers or get in a stranger’s vehicle. • If you allow your child to go trickor-treating without you, plan a route with them and set a time for them to return home. Also, send them out with a charged mobile phone. • Remind children to never eat treats until they have been inspected by an adult. To reduce the temptation to eat treats before they come home, give a filling meal to your children before they go out trick-or-treating. • Ensure that props such as swords and knives are smooth on the edges and flexible, as not to cause injuries. • Never allow a small child to carve a pumpkin. Instead, allow them to draw or paint a face. • Remember to keep your home safe for visiting trick-ortreaters. Pick up anything that could cause someone to trip and fall such as toys, bikes, and garden hoses. • Use flashlights as alternatives to candles or torch lights when decorating walkways and yards. They are much safer for trick-or-treaters, whose costumes may brush against the lighting.

Six to receive N.C. Awards

CHRONICLE STAFF REPORT SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE
Gov. McCrory will present the latest round of North Carolina Awards on Thursday, Nov. 13 at the Sheraton Imperial Hotel and Convention Center in Durham. Created by the General Assembly in 1961, the North Carolina Awards have been presented annually since 1964. The award recognizes significant contributions to the state and nation in the fields of fine arts, literature, public service and science. Acclaimed writer Lenard D. Moore of Raleigh will receive the award for Literature. His eastern North Carolina roots spring forth in his poems, short stories and haikus. Whether writing about jazz musicians, the smell of war or the music of elm trees, he concisely transports the reader to each specific time or place. His power with the economical use of words is best illustrated in the haiku, a Japanese form traditionally of three lines totaling 17 syllables. He mastered the form so well that he became the first Southerner and the first African-American to be president of the Haiku Society of America. He is winner of the Haiku Museum of Tokyo Award and executive chairman of the North Carolina Haiku Society. For all of his awards and recognitions, he considers teaching his most important work. Currently a professor Submitted Photo at the University of Mount Poet and author Lenard D. Moore. Olive, he organizes its literary festival and teaches and mentors young writers. He is founder of the Carolina African American Writers Collective and co-founder of the Washington Street Writers Group. The Public Service Award will go to Dr. Betsy M. Bennett, who served as the director of the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences for more than 20 years. During her tenure, she transformed it from exhibit space in a cramped state office building to a landmark, pioneering institution that has garnered national recognition and record attendance. Robert A. Ingram will also received the Public Service Award. Ingram has had a esteemed career in pharmaceuticals. He co-led the merger that formed GlaxoSmithKline. He serves or has served on the boards or as director to Valeant, Cree, Quintiles and others. He was asked by President George H.W. See NC Awards on A9
Wake Forest University Provost Emeritus Edwin Graves Wilson will receive the North Carolina Humanities Council’s highest honor, the John Tyler Caldwell Award for the Humanities, this evening (Thursday, Oct. 30) at 7 p.m. in the Porter Byrum Welcome Center at WFU. The ceremony is free and open to the public. Helen Vendler, the Arthur Kingsley Porter University Professor at Harvard University, will deliver the annual Caldwell Lecture for the Humanities at the event. The award recognizes Wilson for his lifelong achievements as an advocate for the public humanities across North Carolina. Affectionately referred to as “Mr. Wake Forest” Wilson, also Professor Emeritus of English, has spent more than six decades on the Wake Forest University Wilson campus, first entering in 1939 for his bachelor of arts degree. After serving three years as an officer in the United States Navy during World War II, Wilson returned to his alma mater as an instructor and was named Professor of English in 1959. Over the years Wilson taught British Romantic Poets and the poetry of Blake, Yeats, and Thomas. Wilson served as a North Carolina Humanities Council trustee from 1977-1980. He is also active with various arts-related organizations. In 2004, Wilson received the Medallion of Merit, which is Wake Forest’s highest award for service to the university. Wilson is the recipient of the Reinhardt Award for Distinguished Teaching; the North Carolina Award for Public Service; and the Distinguished Alumni Citation. The university opened a new 53,000-square-foot wing of the Z. Smith Reynolds Library named in his honor. Wilson is married to the poet and author Emily Herring Wilson. They are the parents of three children and have four grandchildren. The John Tyler Caldwell Award is named for its first recipient, the late Dr. John Caldwell, former chancellor of North Carolina State University from 1959-1975 and a founding member of the Humanities Council.

Carolina. She worked with the Ministers Conference and several area churches to organize the march and had told local Board of Elections officials to expect a larger than normal crowd. A former chair of the Forsyth County Board of Elections, Sutton said something could have been done to alleviate the long line. “Something could have been set up in the lobby,” she argued. Early voting in North Carolina looks a lot different from two years ago. Republican-led Boards of Elections around the state have slashed early voting schedules and sites. The one day of Sunday early voting – traditionally used for Souls to the Polls events – remained intact in Forsyth. “We had to fight to get this Sunday. That’s why this is so important,” Sutton told the marchers before they began their walk. Ricky Hairston’s voice was distinct among the sea of others. He chanted with purpose because he said he was headed to vote for his grandchildren. “I’m 60 years old, but this is not about me. We need to look out for the next generation. I am concerned about these schools and education,” he said. Joe Davis – one of the about 30 members of the Carolina Cruisers motorcycle club who rode ahead of the marchers – admitted that the names at the top of the ballot – U.S. Sen. Kay Hagan and her Republican challenger Thom Tillis – were the only ones he’d heard of. “That’s why I brought this,” he said, unfolding a piece of notepaper after taking it from his back pocket. “My wife gave me this. She reads everything. She said, ‘You can do what you want to do, but these are the people to vote for.’” Several candidates took part in the march. They included School Board hopefuls Laura Elliott and Katherine Fansler, State Rep. Evelyn Terry and Josh Brannon, the Democrat

In spite of reports that Democratic voters are apathetic this election year, Brannon said the voters he’s encountered throughout the counties that make up the Fifth District are raring for a change. “I have seen a tremendous amount of energy, especially among people who are upset with what the General Assembly is doing,” said Brannon, who said he is running because inequality has become too rampant and outside money has made elected officials venal. State Rep. Ed Hanes also marched. The Democrat is running unopposed but wanted to ecnourage voting. “We have not been as aggressive as we should in the past with encouraging people to take part in nonpresidential elections, but we are doing better at that,” he said. His first term was one
of the most contentious periods in recent memory in the General Assembly. Republicans took the Governor’s Mansion after already gaining control of the House and Senate. A litany of controversial bills followed – including the voter ID measure that will go into effect in 2016. A dramatic shift in the makeup of the General Assembly is not expected this year, but Hanes said there will be some good news on Election Day. “I’m optimistic we are going to gain seats. Every seat gained is one more step toward getting us back to a level where we can have civil conversations about issues,” said Hanes, who said Democrats and Republicans did manage to find common ground on some issues during the last two years. Additional early voting sites opened this week.

Valene is also hard-working, extremely intelligent, and she genuinely possesses a sincere desire to promote justice in our community through her service in our community. These qualifications come as no surprise to her colleagues. In a survey concerning the judicial candidates for District Court Judge, which was voted on by the lawyers of Forsyth County, Valene received the highest rating of all the candidates in areas such as integrity, professionalism, and legal ability. Over the past 10 years, I have personally observed Valene serve in our community in various capacities. I have watched her serve our community as the president of the Winston-Salem Bar Association and the president of the Forsyth County Bar Association. I have also watched her serve our community, while assisting the victims of domestic violence, through her dedicated work as the Managing Family Law Attorney at Legal Aid of North Carolina. She has also exemplified that commitment of service in our community through the work that she has performed on behalf of so many of our local nonprofit organizations. However, I also eagerly anticipate the day when she is able to continue that service to our community in her role as our next district court judge. I am not only proud to call Valene my colleague, but I am even more honored to call her my friend. Please join me and vote for Valene Franco, my colleague and my friend, as the next district court judge of Forsyth County. Frederick B. Adams II, attorney
Voting matters
To The Editor: The November election is but a few days away, yet there are still those who are asking the question, “Why I should vote?”
O C TO B E R 3 0 , 2 0 1 4
T H E C H RON I C LE
We can’t put another Obama in the White House again, so why vote? We have so devalued our vote that it is seems more of an imposition that comes every two or four years, than the right we enjoy as citizens. When in actuality all elections have the power to impact our lives. We must know that if our vote were not of value others would not try to steal it from us as they have tried this past year. Because of the power of elections, the Mazie Woodruff Center is now the only early voting site in the African American community. We have a restrictive state and national government, redistricting, the most restrictive voter suppression laws in the country, private school vouchers, sequester cuts, no Medicaid expansion, no unemployment extension and $500 million cut from public education. If we do not vote, all that is mentioned will be made permanent. Over 100 years ago, Fredrick Douglas stated, “Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will…. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.” Simply stated, they allow what we allow. This statement encapsulates the midterm election of 2014. Our vote is our voice and we have the power to demand the change we want through our vote. Chenita Johnson, president, African American CaucusForsyth
Bonds have too many frills
To The Editor: The New South Community Coalition (NSCC) thinks there is a pressing need for a “No Frills” Bond Referendum to deal with our city’s deteriorating infrastructure but also believes that the property tax burden should be kept within reason. Unfortunately, the City of WinstonSalem’s Bond Referendum has way too many frills in an era of tight municipal budgets and will place an undue tax burden on the hardworking property owners of Winston-Salem. Consequently, the NSCC can only recommend supporting and voting for three out of the five bonds on the Bond Referendum: Transportation, Public Safety, and Housing Development. Throughout the summer, the NSCC
tried to engage the City Council about Bond Referendum projects that the NSCC had identified as not representing critical funding needs. The NSCC even sent a detailed report to the City Council highlighting identified projects that could be deleted to help reduce the property tax burden. The NSCC’s proposal would have reduced the Bond Referendum by $20.5 million, while still addressing all five bond areas of funding. Unfortunately, if all five bonds on the November ballot are approved and added to the already approved 2014 property tax increase, city taxpayers will see a combined 6.6% increase in their 2015 property taxes. The NSCC hopes that each and every voter will think about the total impact of this Bond Referendum on their property taxes and will view this recommendation as a compromise approach and vote only for the Transportation, Public Safety, and Housing Development bonds.

Ted Kazakos
To The Editor: I am a senior at Salem College, and I have had the great pleasure of interning for Ted Kazakos since January 2014. As an aspiring member of the legal community, observing Ted work in and out of the courtroom is truly inspiring to me. He is extremely diligent and devoted and is the epitome of professionalism. I strongly believe that I have learned more through Ted’s guidance and instruction than I ever have in a classroom. He has become one of my greatest mentors, and because of Ted and his willingness to take me in and expose me to the every day job of an experienced prosecutor, I feel that I am beyond prepared for law school and entering the legal community. Ted has not only greatly impacted my education but he has taken a leadership role within community education. He has coached homeschool students for a mock trial program, taught continuing legal education to colleagues, spoken to high school civics classes about the court system, is part of the mentor/mentee program at Wake Forest School of Law and has
served as a judge for the BLSA (Black Law Students’ Association) trial competition practice at Wake Law. Ted has an unmatched passion for what he does, and his personal definition of justice has been formed by countless hours inside of the courtroom. Ted possesses all of the traits that a judge should: he is objective, efficient, and honorable. I strongly believe that Ted Kazakos is the best choice for District Court Judge. Cydney Joyner
Vote for qualifications
To The Editor: Unlike other elected positions, judges do not run as traditional Democrats or Republicans. Most voters get their information about judges from attorneys, but mostly from advertisements like billboards, radio ads, yard signs, banners, etc. Thus the amount of money a candidate has to spend, or does not have (to), could impact the voting public’s perception. I address this because some have made the point to me that Valene Franco’s opponent has and is spending more money. Money does not have to rule. It only rules if we let it. Therefore, vote! Valene is the most qualified. This is a simple fact. Twenty-five hundred attorneys surveyed in August of this year by the North Carolina Bar Association were asked to rank judicial candidates. Valene was rated the highest among District Court candidates in that survey of attorneys. Her opponent was rated third. So we have a choice, the number one-rated judicial candidate or the third-rated candidate. Another more important element that factors into who should be a judge is the experience of the candidate. Valene has been in the legal arena longer, 12 years longer, and has a broader and more diverse set of experiences than her opponent. She has worked with and has knowledge of major social agencies and organizations that interact with those who come before the court. Proven leadership is another important value. Valene Franco has a track record of leadership. Her support is broad based. Now, let us go out and show everyone what really matters-qualifications, experience, leadership. VOTE! Hazel Mack
5 s e Say Y x
To Our City’s Future
What Bonds? City of Winston-Salem voters will be able to approve five bonds on this year’s ballot that will provide badly needed funding for capital projects all across the city. What Are They For? The bonds will fund the recruitment of new jobs, provide safer streets and neighborhoods, and help improve our quality of life. Of the proposed $139.2 million in bonds citywide, nearly $93 million is planned for the North, Northeast, East and Southeast wards, including:
What’s Your Investment? If all the bonds are approved, the average property owner will pay only about 9 cents more a day in property taxes. It’s the best buy in town. Want More Information? Go to WinstonSalemBonds.com.
And please say YES to our future.
Go to the End of the Ballot to Vote YES for All Five Bonds
$17.3 million for Streets & Sidewalks $22.8 million for Parks & Recreation $8.9 million for Housing $22.4 million for Public Safety $21.2 million for Economic Development & Jobs Why Now? It’s been 14 years since the City of Winston-Salem held a bond referendum. North Carolina’s other major cities have approved multiple bonds during the same period. Our city has critical needs that must be addressed now.

BY CHANEL DAVIS THE CHRONICLE
South Fork Elementary students received a lesson on how to combat bullying from Harlem Globetrotter Jonathan “Hawk” Thomas on Tuesday, Oct. 21 as part of WinstonSalem/Forsyth County Schools’ slate of bullying awareness programs this month. “I, myself, was bullied at a young age. So to have the opportunity to give back to those who may be going through the same situation and showing them how to Williams deal with it and stop it in a positive way is great,” Thomas said. He stressed the ABC’s of bullying prevention: Action, Bravery and Compassion. The first step encourages students to report acts of bullying. Thomas told students they should be brave enough to step in to make sure the bully understands that See Bullying on B9

Than Jacobsen wins scholarship SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE
Wi n s t o n - S a l e m ’s Than Jacobsen has won a $1,000 Nexstar Legacy Foundation Management Scholarship. It supports those studying for careers in management and technicians in the plumbing, heating/cooling and the electrical (PHCE) service industry.
Jacobsen
In all, $45,000 in scholarships were given to students across the country for the 2014/2015 academic school year. Scholarships are awarded with a focus on recruiting the next generation of talented individuals in the PHCE service industry. These include M a n a g e m e n t Scholarships, totaling
$15,000, which go to students seeking management level careers in the industry; and Technician Scholarships, totaling $33,000, which go to students seeking a career as a technician. Nexstar said the
importance of supporting those interested in becoming trained technicians in the PHCE service industry is underlined by the expected loss of 60 percent of the current workforce in the next 10 to 15 years and only a 6
percent rate of interest in entering the trades for high school students. The PHCE industry is vital to the health and well-being of families across the country providing quality air, clean water and safe homes.

SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE
Friendship Missionary Baptist Church, 1317 N. Cherry St., celebrated its 100th church anniversary on Sunday, Oct. 19. Rev. Dr. Lester Boyd, the newly-elected pastor of Friendship, led the congregation in a celebratory march from 14th Street to the sanctuary to begin the 10:30 a.m. anniversary service. During the service, the church recognized its four oldest members. Deacon Roy Rector, Christine Thompson, Lucille Sawyer and Grace Wright are all 90 or older. The combined choirs rendered the music under the direction of Rev. Kevin Gibson. The celebration concluded in the fellowship hall with a dinner prepared by the culinary staff. Boyd Friendship was founded in 1914 by the Rev. John I. Mumford, who felt the lower Boston Cottage Community needed a church. At that time, vacant buildings were scarce, but after a short while Rev. Mumford, along with a group of dedicated friends, pioneers and the community, was able to secure a worship place. The church began in a small building that had once been a two-room house.
Joyously, in 1915, the members went to their new worship place on Cherry Street that they built and named Friendship Baptist Church. Friendship’s 100th anniversary theme is “Celebrating a Century: Embracing our Future, Enriching our Present, Envisioning our Future.”

Girl Scout Gold Award for Winkler
SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE
Jeanna Michelle Winkler has earned her Girl Scout Gold Award, the highest award in Girl Scouting. Winkler, the daughter of David and Lisa Winkler and a member of Troop 40883, worked in partnership with Clare Bridge Assisted Living and Memory Care to promote awareness of Alzheimer’s disease and ways to combat its onset. In addition, she led Clare Bridge residents in making fidget blankets and aprons as a way to keep their hands busy and stimulate their brains. She also created a photo album of each resident so family members could fill them with photos to provide a connection to their family. By earning the Girl Scout Gold Award, Winkler has become a community leader. Her accomplishments reflect leadership and citizenship skills that set her apart. “Earning the Girl Scout Gold Award designation is truly a remarkable achievement, and this young woman exemplifies leadership in all its forms,� said Marcia Cole, chief executive officer of Girl Scouts Carolinas Peaks to Piedmont. “She saw a need in her community and took action. Her extraordinary dedication, perseverance and leadership, is making the world a better place.� The Gold Award represents the highest achievement in Girl Scouting; it recognizes girls in grades 9 through 12 who demonstrate extraordinary leadership through sustainable and measurable Take Action projects. After the minimum requirements are completed, the Gold Award project is the culmination of a girl's demonstration of self-discipline, leadership ability, time management, creativity, initiative and a significant mastery of skills. Each girl must dedicate a minimum of 80 hours to planning and implementing her project, which must benefit the community and have long lasting impact. Since 1916, girls have successfully answered the call to go gold, an act that indelibly marks them as accomplished members of their communities and the world. Some universities and colleges offer scholarships unique to Gold Award recipients, and girls who enlist in the U.S. Armed Forces may receive advanced rank in recognition of their achievements.

Compassion Corner dedicated at Moore SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE
With their songs ringing across the campus, 100 Moore Magnet Elementary School second-graders dedicated a Compassion Corner earlier this month. The bench that symbolizes their goal to abide by the Golden Rule: to treat others as they want to be treated. The L-shaped bench is located in the front of the school in the playground. Children are encouraged to use it when they feel lonely, left out or sad, and their classmates know that when someone is seated there, it’s a time for them to show kindness and friendship. “This is important to our school,� said Principal Amanda Smith. “All of our community has helped to make this possible.� Art teacher Teresa Wiles worked with students to decorate the bench with words of wisdom and bright butterflies. Volunteers Rob Castro and Jay McNulty designed and

ATTENTION: DEPUY PINNACLE METAL-ON-METAL HIP PATIENTS built the bench. “The bench has been in place since the start of the school year,� said Anne Collins, the school counselor. “It is working quite well. We have been talking about what it means to be compassionate, so the children understand.� About 50 family members and friends joined the dedication ceremony, which was led by Truman Dunn of Compassionate Winston-Salem. Highland
Presbyterian Church and Temple Emanuel - who partner with Moore - paid for placement of the bench. Rev. Randy Harris and Rabbi Mark StraussCohn made comments during the event. Under a brilliant blue sky, the second-graders lined up on the playground grass and sang several songs, including “You’ve Got a Friend in Me� and “Candle on the Water,� under the direction of
music teacher Shelley Noisette. Compassionate Winston-Salem, which sponsors the Compassionate Corner program, hopes to place the benches on each elementary school campus. A second bench, sponsored by Knollwood Baptist Church, was slated to be dedicated at Bolton Elementary School this week.

On Friday, Oct. 10, six basketball players from the Winston-Salem State women’s basketball team came to Main Street Academy to play a game against Main Street students. “I’m really excited,” said Main Street player Dante Thomas. “I know they are going to be good.” It turned out to be quite a game. Main Street scored on its first possession. Winston-Salem State soon scored. The lead went back and forth before Main Street established a lead that it held onto for a while. Then Winston-Salem State’s Lady Rams turned things around and moved ahead with four minutes to go in the game. Main Street came back and ended up winning by one point. “This was a grand experience,” said Gwen Johnson Green, the school system’s director of alternative education. There’s more to the news than the fact that a college team played a high school team. The news is also that Main
Principal Travis

At Main Street, not all of the students are there by choice, and the school hasn’t been offering organized sports. In the past, students in middle and high school were assigned to Main Street for a minimum of 45 days for serious violations of the school system’s code of student conduct. During that time, they couldn’t participate in sports and other extracurricular activities at their home schools.
This year, Ron Travis, who became the principal at Main Street on July 1, and others at the school have been working to liven up – and lighten up – life at the school. “We are trying to give them more things to do,” Travis said. This year, the school established The Leadership Academy at Main Street for up to 20 freshman and sophomores who choose to come, and Main Street has been increasing the number of field trips and other activities that all

Main Street students participate in. The basketball game grew out of conversations that Lakeisha Hill, the
assistant principal at Main Street, had with Tierra Rudd, an assistant coach for the Lady Rams team. Winston-Salem State is a strong supporter of Main Street, Hill said, and they plan to have additional joint activities as the year goes on. Brent David, who came to Main Street this year to teach students in The Academy, coached the Main Street basket-
ball team. Earlier this month, David was named the wrestling coach at Parkland High School. The referees were Garrett Davis, a former Carver teacher who came to Main Street with Travis, and Larry Berry, the transition coordinator at Main Street. Players on the Main Street team were Miracle Harris, Marcus Montgomery, Daniel Leal, C.J. Surles, Jharee Ingram, Gevontae Morrison, Jarren Spears, Ramel Hoosier, Trevonte Ross, Messiah Alston, Dante Thomas and Dwayne Benekin. The Winston-Salem State players were Taylor Mandeville, Deanna Scott, Morgan Smiley, Breanna Wilder, Taylor Wells and Jazmine Carter.

Teaming Up Against
it’s not okay to bully people and compassionate enough to show the person being bullied that they care. After the short lesson, Thomas displayed the bball dexterity that Harlem Globetrotters are known for. The Morehead City native graduated from N.C. State University and has been a Globetrotter for three years. He said coupling a serious topic like bullying with some of his basketball tricks puts his audience at ease. “With kids, you always want to show them the fun side of things. That’s what they’re going to respond to, so you want to loosen them up and make sure they are not nervous because you want them to participate,” Thomas said. “Bullying is a very serious topic. As long as they are loosened up, they will be able to pay attention more and hone in on the topic.” Guidance Counselor Ann Williams said someone from the Globetrotters contacted her and offered to provide a player to talk to students. “We are putting emphasis on the importance of staying away and standing up for bullying,” she said. “Bullying is a very important issue because a lot of children are being bullied and are being hurt by it. We want to keep it at the forefront so children will know how to handle themselves and what they can do about it if they are bullied.” Earlier in the month, the school was among several that held a UNITY walk to bring awareness to bullying.

other efforts as well. “We have been going in the classrooms to teach lessons on bullying; talking to parents about how they can help their children if they are being bullied; and (we have) a school-wide pledge, where students signed a banner saying that they will not be or stand for bullying,” Williams said. Thomas said the ultimate goal is to make sure students know that bullying is not OK. “Even if they don’t understand the concept, it
is very important that they know how to deal with bullies. Even if it’s not action, bravery and compassion, being able to stand up, tell teachers, not being afraid to tell on a bully is very important,” he said. The Harlem Globetrotters will be at the Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Coliseum on March 21, 2015 at 7 p.m. For more information about the show visit www.ljvm.com.

WFU wins Landfall Tradition for third time
SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE
Wake Forest became the first three-time champion in the 13-year history of The Landfall Tradition Sunday at the Country Club of Landfall's Pete Dye Course. Wake Forest finished the tournament at even par with a score of 286-289289=864. The Demon Deacons ended a six-year drought after winning the event in 2007 and 2008. After sharing the top of the leaderboard with Oklahoma State through two rounds, the Demon Deacons broke out front early on Sunday and blew past the rest of the 18-team field in impressive fashion. Sunday's 289 total snapped the Sunday record shared by Tulane (2004) and Wake Forest (2007) and the three-day score of 864 was 13 shots better than Purdue's total in 2005. "It was a team effort," said Head Coach Dianne Dailey. "Everyone contributed to the victory. The team played tough and kept their focus. We had five birdies on the last three holes which propelled us to the top. The

QEA anticipates exciting season

BY CRAIG T. GREENLEE FOR THE CHRONICLE
The basketball countdown is underway for Quality Education Academy. With the season opener only five days away, there’s an unmistakable air of excitement and eager anticipation. Coach Isaac Pitts expects championship-caliber production from his 10-deep squad. In this case, the sum of the total parts could prove to be greater than the whole. This team is built to run and it has the requisite parts to grind opponents into submission. Look for QEA to put on a full display of what’s to come when it plays host to national powerhouse Oak Hill Academy (Va.) next Tuesday (Nov. 4) at 7 p.m. The Pharaohs and Warriors earned a split of the two games they played last season. In both meetings, the home team won by double digits. “I like what I’ve been seeing in practices,” said Pitts, who guided QEA to a 21-4 finish last season. “We’re making progress every day. We have size, quickness and interchangeable parts. As a coaching staff, we believe we have all the right pieces to compete on equal terms with the Pitts top teams in the country.” The Pharaohs are wellstocked in the backcourt. DeAngelo Bruster (verbally committed to Western Illinois), Jerron Love, DeShawn Corprew and Andrien White are crafty passers who can create their own shots and all are above average from 3-point distance. Defensively, they pose problems because of their speed and quickness. “High school basketball is guard-driven,” said Pitts. “That’s the key to winning. Our motto is to run on every possession regardless of makes or misses. With the guards we have, we can push the tempo and press and trap for the whole game. As a tandem, I believe our guards could be the best in the U.S.” While QEA has exceptional depth at guard, the front line won't take a back seat. Papa N’diaye, a 6’9” power forward, is the top returnee. N’diaye has a solid inside game at both ends and he’s evolved as a dependable 3-point shooter. For now, he hasn’t declared where he’ll go to college. N’diaye, though, has had his share of offers, including ones from Oklahoma, Mississippi State and Washington State. QEA’s top newcomer for this season could be Nate Grimes, an athletic 6’8” senior who can play both forward positions. Grimes, who committed to Fresno State, runs the floor, blocks shots, and has expanded his offensive game as a much-improved ball-handler and perimeter shooter. Athleticism, shooting touch and moxie are the prime attributes of sophomore Tremaine Lawrence. The 6’5” swing man with the 42-inch vertical leap, is considered to be among elites for the Class of 2017. Forward Derrick Farquharson is a difficult-to-defend 3-point shooter who flourishes in an up-tempo game. In the middle, Bama Jaye, a 6’10”, 240 pounds center, is expected to further bolster the interior as a relentless rebounder and menacing shot-blocker. Marsellis Purvis provides added depth as an in-the-paint presence. Oak Hill will come to town with its usual abundance of talent. The Warriors will be led by prized college prospects Dwayne Bacon and Daniel Giddens. Bacon, a 6’6” wing player, is smooth and effective with the ball in his hands. As a highly-touted recruit, Bacon received 26 offers and opted to commit to Florida State. Giddens, a defensive-minded 6’10” center, has committed to Ohio State. According to the college recruiting analysts, Giddens is viewed as a key acquisition for the Buckeyes. Two other Warriors, post player Joe Hampton and swing man Joshua Reaves, have committed to Penn State. “This game is going to have a big-time atmosphere,” said Pitts, in reference to next week’s contest. “Between both teams, there will be 20 players in the gym who are being scouted by high-level Division I basketball programs.” Oak Hill has a well-known legacy as a prep hoops power. The school has an alumni list that can easily double as a Who’s Who of pro basketball. Over the years, 25 former Oak Hill players have been selected in the NBA Draft. The list of current NBA players includes: Carmelo Anthony (Knicks), Brandon Jennings (Pistons), Ty Lawson (Nuggets), Rajon Rondo (Celtics), Steve Blake (Trail Blazers) and Josh Smith (Pistons).
