There were hugs, kisses and gasps of excitement last Thursday night at the Ramada Plaza Hotel.

The Winston-Salem State University Class of 1964 converged there to celebrate their 50th class reunion. The event coincided with WSSU’s annual Homecoming activities.

Members of the class, who are now in their 70s, took a walk down memory lane. When they matriculated, McNeal Winston-Salem State was still Winston-Salem Teachers College and a mere shadow of the sprawling campus it is today.

Norma Rawlings said that she barley recognized the campus when she saw it last week for the first time since the 1970s. Fifty years ago, she left the school with a nursing degree; it enabled her to teach at nursing schools throughout the country.

“I am just so proud of everyone and all the things that they’ve accomplished in Winston-Salem,” she said. “To see my old classmates, and to even correspond in the preparation of this whole event, has been wonderful. I am overjoyed.”

The Steering Committee, headed by Mary Gill, had been working on the reunion, which was themed “Reflect, Rejoice and Renew,” for the past few years. James McNeal, who worked on the Correspondence Committee from his home in Detroit, said that it was hard work getting in touch with classmates.

“The planning began in 2011 with a few classmates hanging out on campus after the game. Of course, we started reminiscing about our times at college,” McNeal said. “In November 2011, we sent the first letter about the reunion out to addresses we had.”

But there were many names of class members that no one could recall, and the means to contact some were none existent.

He helped to develop a directory and make contact with as many people as possible.

RUSSELL’S TURNS 75

A family business that has helped many through difficult times is celebrating its 75th anniversary with a special service at Union Baptist Church on Saturday.

Gospel performances will punctuate the celebration for Russell’s Funeral Home, which was founded in October 1939 by the late Carl H. Russell Sr. The 5 p.m. service will feature Dionn Owen & Renaissance, The Queenettes and Keith Byrd & Company.

The funeral home’s connection to local churches and gospel is as old as it is. The voice of founder Russell was heard on WAAA Radio for years on his popular gospel show.

“He reached out to so many through A photo of Carl Russell Sr. and Florrie his gospel program. Many people tuned Sitgraves Russell hangs in the lobby. in at eight o’clock on Sunday morning simply play music, Carmen said.

The 10 Russell children grew up in the funeral business, carefully learning their sense of caring and community responsibility from their father and mother, Florrie Sitgraves Russell.

Like death, the funeral business never sleeps. Carmen recalls her father rising at all hours of the night and early morning to comfort families and retrieve bodies.

“When death came (my father) had to go,” she said. “On many days, I would see him leave the dining room table because we’d get a death call.

We’d always have to be so ready; it’s not like it can wait. I’ve seen him leave his dinner on the table many days and assist families in need of funeral services.”

Death calls aren’t the only kind that moved the Russell clan to action. Good community stewardship was required by their parents. The Russell brothers provided ambulance service to the community, a common practice of funeral homes at one time. There were also many causes they supported and many to whom they lent a helping hand.

The Winston-Salem Center for Education and the Arts officially opened last week, giving local nonprofits a place to call home.

A ribbon-cutting was held at the “John 3:16 Building” (624/630 W. Sixth St.) on Tuesday, Oct. 14. Years ago, it housed the N.C. Employment Security Commission. First Baptist Church Fifth Street had purchased the building and planned to raze it for a parking lot. The church ended up signing it over to make way for the Center for Education and the Arts, which will provide rentfree space for nonprofits that provide education and growth through the arts.

“A group of us felt that it (the building) was too good of an old building to let it be completely torn down, and we felt that we could do something that would work to make our community better,” said Center President Cathy Owen. “We came up with the idea to renovate the building and focus on education and the arts.”

The seed was planted six years ago, Owen said.

After First Baptist Church volunteers gutted the interior of the building, Owen and others spent years raising money from individuals, corporations and foundations to convert the 17,500-square-foot building. It is now home to Authoring Action, a teen poetry and creative arts group; Dress for Success, which helps local low income women prepare for job interviews by providing business attire; Leadership WinstonSalem, which offers a renowned networking program to acquaint profes-

The roundtable will feature David Dennis, director of the Southern Initiative of the Algebra Project, Dr. Beverly Emory, superintendent of the Winston-Salem/Forsyth County School System, and Dr. Denise Pearson, senior associate dean and professor of education at WSSU. “This year’s lecture and symposium highlights the fiftieth anniversary of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Freedom Summer, two pivotal events that fundamentally changed the contours of American democracy,” said Dr. Corey D. B. Walker, dean of the College of Arts, Science, Business and Education and the John W. and Anna H o d g i n H a n e s Professor of t h e Humanities at WSSU. “It is an honor to host Ted Walker Shaw and David Dennis as part of this year’s program. As a key architect in recent civil rights litigation, Ted Shaw has worked tirelessly to advance the cause of equity and inclusion in society. David Dennis is a longtime organizer and activist for human dignity stemming from his days as a Freedom Rider and organizer in Mississippi in the 1960s to his ongoing work as a lawyer and educator. Both of these individuals are intimately connected with the events of fifty years ago and the lasting impact they have had on our society and world.”

Shaw was named the second director of the Center for Civil Rights at UNC-Chapel Hill in July of this year, a position first held by the late Julius Chambers. Previously, Shaw served as director-counsel and president of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund (LDF) from 2004 until 2008. He joined the LDF in 1982 and served as an attorney there for 23 years. He also has been a professor at Columbia University Law School, where he earned his law degree, and he started his career as a trial attorney in the U.S. Department of Justice.

At LDF, Shaw took on the task of litigating education, employment, voting rights, housing, police misconduct, capital punishment and other civil rights cases in trial and appellate courts, including the U.S. Supreme Court. Over the years, he has also testified before the U.S. Congress and his work has taken him to South Africa to train lawyers after the post-apartheid constitution came into being. Shaw also has worked closely with the Roma community to achieve civil rights in Eastern Europe and was counsel for the African American students in the University of Michigan undergraduate affirmative action admissions case heard by the Supreme Court in 2003. He also played a key role in initiating the review of Michigan Law School’s admissions policies and served on committees that adopted the plan that was upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court.

SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE

Black women murdered by men are nearly always killed by someone they know and the most common weapon used is a gun, according to the latest Violence Policy Center (VPC) report, “When Men Murder Women: An Analysis of 2012 Homicide Data.”

The annual report is being released during the week marking the 20th anniversary of the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), which was signed into law on September 13, 1994.

This year’s report applies to 2012, the most recent year for which data is available. The study covers homicides involving one female murder victim and one male offender, and uses data from the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Supplementary Homicide Report.

The report finds that black women face a disproportionate share of fatal domestic violence in America. In 2012, 468 black females were murdered by males in single victim/single offender incidents, at a rate of 2.46 per 100,000. For white females murdered by males, the rate was 1.00 per 100,000.

Here are some of the report’s findings related to black females murdered by males: • Where the relationship could be determined, 92 percent of black females killed by males in single victim/single offender incidents knew their killers. Eleven times as many black females were murdered by a male they knew than were killed by male strangers.

• Firearms, especially handguns, were the most common weapons used by males to murder black females. When the murder weapon could be identified, 57 percent of black female victims were shot and killed with guns. Within that group, 76 percent were killed with a handgun.

• In homicides where the age of victims was reported, 10 percent of black females were less than 18 years old and four percent were 65 years of age or older.

Nationwide, across all races, 1,706 females were murdered by males in single victim/single offender incidents in 2012, at a rate of 1.16 per 100,000.

Novant Health is the first-ever Greater Triad Go Red For Women Wellness Partner, the American Heart Association announced last week.

Novant Health has recommitted to the American Heart Association’s Go Red For Women Campaign with a new Triad-wide focus on helping to improve women’s heart health by leading the charge to educate, encourage and enable women in our community to prevent and fight heart disease and stroke.

“Our partnership with the American Heart Association’s Go Red For Women program allows us to educate and empower women to live healthier lives not only for themselves, but for their families. Many women in our community do not understand that they are at risk and are not aware that heart disease illnesses are 80% preventable. We are dedicated to educating and providing opportunities for women to improve their health,” said Kirsten Royster Royster, VP of Novant Health Heart and Vascular Institute and Novant Health Maya Angelou Women’s Health & Wellness Center at Novant Health Forsyth Medical Center. “Novant Health is dedicated to bringing more attention to heart disease in women across the Triad and have been privileged to already see women take significant steps towards wellness.”

Novant Health Kernersville Medical Center President Joanne Allen said, “As a former nurse and a hospital administrator, I see the impact of heart disease every day.

There is a lot of work to be done to educate people on risk factors and how their lifestyle and diet impacts their health. Last year, as part of our support of Go Red For Women in Guilford County, our community wellness and education team screened more than 1,050 women as a part of Go Red For Women in Guilford County. That’s more than 1,000 families who we were able to help know their numbers, have one-on-one counseling, and connect them with treatment or further evaluation if needed.”

Novant Health Kernersville Medical Center will reach out to 1,000 women with free heart health assessments again this year.

Masquerade Ball

Triad Cultural Arts will sponsor its first ever Masquerade Ball and Costume Party to raise money for the preservation and commemoration of African American history.

The event will take place Friday, Oct. 31 from 9 p.m. to midnight at The Enterprise Conference and Banquet Center, 1922 Martin Luther King Jr. Drive (former Salvation Army Boys & Girls Club).

For the past 10 years, Triad Cultural Arts has held programs to commemorate the heritage of A f r i c a n Americans, which include Black History Month, Kwanzaa and the Juneteenth Celebration. Recently, Triad Cultural Arts was involved in the effort to preserve two uninhabitable shotgun houses located in the Happy Hill community on Humphrey Street, with the goal of lifting these houses out of obscurity and herald their architectural style as an iconic symbol of African American freedom.

Although the group currently does not have the capacity to lead the restoration efforts of the houses, they would like to see their use re-purposed for the education and perpetuation of African American history and culture.

The Masquerade Ball and Costume Party is slated as great fun for a great cause. Attendees are invited to wear decorative masks, and creative, historical and international costumes, for the contest. Prizes will be awarded in several categories. The evening will include mystery guests, fun games, and a variety of dessert and beverage stations.

Tickets are $15 in advance and $20 the day of the event. For ticket information, call 336757-8556, or visit the website; www.triadculturalarts.org.

Surprise for Superhero principal

BY KIM UNDERWOOD WS/FC SCHOOLS

Ron Davis, the principal of Gibson Elementary School, is a fan of comicbook superheroes, especially the X-Men. When curriculum coordinator Amy Holcomb saw that the Marvel Universe Live! show was coming to Greensboro Coliseum, she thought that sending him to the show would be a perfect way for everyone else at Gibson to thank him for all that he does.

“I went to school and said, ‘We have to send Mr. Davis to this,’” Holcomb said to fellow curriculum coordinator Raphael Hughes, who is responsible for grades three through five. Holcomb is responsible for grades kindergarten through second grade.

Wanting it to be a surprise, they enlisted the help of Davis’s wife, Audrey, and the rest of the staff at Gibson and went to work. The idea was to spring it all on him on the day of the show – Oct.10.

Staff members at Gibson contributed enough not only to buy the tickets but also to pay for dinner for the Davises before the show. Everyone thought that it would be fun to “suspend” Davis from school and have all the students at Gibson gather outside the building to see Davis and his wife off as they headed off for their adventure. Teachers had students make posters. Some said, “Happy Birthday!” Others said, “We Love Mr. Davis!”

“We wanted to do something to show our appreciation for what a great principal he is,” Holcomb said.

The staff members set up some bogus meetings to ensure that Davis’s time was booked, and, with his 55th birthday having already come and gone and Boss’s Day still in the future, Davis had no rea-

Lane leaving Jill Lane, dean and headmaster of the High School Academic Program at the University of North Carolina School of the Arts (UNCSA), has announced that she will step down at the end of the academic year to return to a full-time teaching post at the school.

Lane has taught math in UNCSA’s high school since 1994. In 2006, she assumed leadership for the academic program, which serves about 300 students and includes 25 full-time and part-time faculty and staff members. She is responsible for curriculum and academic course scheduling, budget and salary, and communications with both internal and external constituencies. She is the UNCSA liaison with the high school accrediting agency, and is executive director of the School Improvement Team.

“I have grown professionally and personally during my time as dean, and I am deeply grateful to the school for granting me the opportunity,” Lane said. “My heart remains in the classroom, and I am excited to return to working with students full time.”

Museum acquires ‘Birth’

Reynolda House Museum of American Art r e c e n t l y a c q u i r e d “Birth,” a largescale oil painting by Lee Krasner, one of American art’s most disting u i s h e d abstract express i o n i s t painters.

Museum Executive D i r e c t o r Allison Perkins announced the gift to an audience of more than 300 guests Friday, Oct. 10, at the museum’s annual black-tie fundraising gala, “An Evening for Reynolda.” The painting was on view in the museum’s exhibition “Love and Loss” last week.

“Birth” is a gift from museum founding president Barbara Babcock Millhouse, who established the museum’s American art collection in 1967 with nine paintings. Millhouse is the granddaughter of R.J. Reynolds and Katharine Smith Reynolds, and daughter of Mary Reynolds and Charles Babcock. She was the driving force behind the museum’s nationally recognized collection that has grown to include masterworks of American painting, sculpture and photography by such artists as Mary Cassatt, Frederic Church, Jacob Lawrence, Georgia O’Keeffe and Gilbert Stuart, in addition to Krasner.

Painted in 1956, “Birth” is one of the first paintings Krasner created after the death of her husband, fellow abstract expressionist Jackson Pollock, and is a vivid representation of her loss and rage. The large canvas measures 83 inches tall by 48 inches wide and is marked by bold, expressive brushstrokes in thick black paint and pink flesh tones.

As some staff members waited to spring Phase One of the surprise, they talked about why they appreciate Davis so much: “He works tirelessly,” Hughes said.

“He is passionate about education – passionate about the whole child. And he is

willing to do whatever needs to be done, whether that is mopping the floor or wiping a student’s nose.”

“He has a gentle heart,” said Kevin Ingram, the parent involvement coordinator. “He loves the children – the staff.

This is the calling he has on his life.”

“He is very accommodating for students and staff,” said data manager Shannon White. As an example, she talked about his Chat & Chew days – days that any members of the staff can set up a time to talk with him about anything.

“A lot of people had nicknames on campus and there were a lot of people I didn’t know,” he said.

“One of the most difficult things about trying to get in touch with classmates was that a lot of the women had gotten married, so you have this list of names and you don’t know who many of them are. It was also sad finding so many classmates that have passed.”

In all, about 40 members of the class attended the reunion.

The class presented Chancellor Donald Reaves with a $55,000 check for the school’s scholarship fund. Reaves put the class’ graduation year into perspective, recalling that 1964 was the year that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. received the Noble Prize; Sidney Poitier made history by winning a Best Actor Oscar; Cassius Clay became Muhammad Ali; and Nelson Mandela was sent to prison on Robben Island.

“While this and a lot more was taking place across the nation, you were about to embark upon the next major phase of your young lives. You were departing to serve,” Reaves said. “No doubt that just as the nation was coming to terms with its identity, you, too, were trying to discover who you were and what you wanted to do next.”

Reaves said that he has faced the same problems that former WSSU President Kenneth R. Williams dealt with when he ran the school from

“Students are dealing with the rapidly raising cost of education,” he said. “Over the last five years, the budget at Winston-Salem State University has been cut by about $35 million, and each year we ask the legislature and the Board of Governors for more money, and we get less than what we need. That is certainly not new. I went back and I checked the records. I found that Dr. Williams had requested $137,574 in state funding for the 1963-1964 academic year, and he received $72,500. Not a lot has changed.”

McNeal said he hoped the class’ donation helps.

“The state funding is being reduced, so these youngsters need the money,” he said.

“Somebody helped me when I was in school, and I think that we have to reach back to help them.”

Members of the class spent several hours in banquet hall, eating, listening to Dollye Mack and the Ensemble perform and catching up on a half-century of news and happenings.

Carl Russell Sr. was more than a business man; he was a community icon and jack-of-alltrades. He started the city’s first black newspaper in 1945.

The People’s Spokesman was touted as “The Voice of the Negro in WinstonSalem.” He served on the Winston-Salem Board of Aldermen from 19611977 and as Mayor Pro Tempore.

“He was an advocate for the black people in this city,” said Carmen.

“When he was on the Board of Alderman, he really tried to get the neighborhoods looking good: get the streets paved, better housing.”

The funeral home began in a modest building on East Seventh Street with used equipment purchased from a funeral home in Virginia that had gone under. In 1962, it moved to the Christian Building, which was at the corner of what is now Martin Luther King Drive and Carl Russell Avenue. In 1964, Russell’s had a new structure built at that location.

When Russell passed away in 1987, Florrie, his wife of 49 years, assumed leadership of the business. She oversaw the renovation of the current

Mel Sadler, the emergency management director, said that the training was valuable for multiple reasons.

“This individualized training session will pay off not only in the short term by making us better prepared, but in helping us develop long-term inter-agency relationships and a working knowledge of the community partners we will work with during a real emergency.”

The Davises have been married for 30 years. They met when both were students at Winston-Salem State University. They traveled in the same circles.

“We became friends,” she said.

They ended up going to the same church, too, and everything grew from there.

When it was time, Holcomb went and collected Davis. When he opened the door expecting school business to find a room decorated in a superhero motif, he knew that something was up.

“What is this all about?” he asked.

It’s about Boss’s appreciation day and your birthday and “how incredible it is to work with you every single day,” Holcomb said.

The tickets came with a giant card that had signatures from staff members on the inside and the Sesame Street character Elmo dressed up as a super hero on the outside.

“This is a great team,” Davis said.

The surprise included food, too, and the tables had superhero placemats that fifth-grade teacher Brian Gordan had his students color. Davis said that he hadn’t seen any of this coming. Not knowing that there was a Phase Two to come, he said, “Y’all got me good.”

While Davis was in the room receiving all that attention, Holcomb made a school-wide announcement that alerted everyone that it was time for students to

Seventh St., from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and will feature representatives from Family Services, the Winston-Salem Police Department’s Domestic Violence Unit, the Hidden Jewel Project of N.C. and several domestic abuse survivors.

“Even though it is a tough topic, we want to be able to open up a place for the dialogue to begin,” Archia said. “We want to get the conversation started and let them know about the resources that are available.”

Latisha Alford worked with Bethea and participated alongside her in the exercise group Black Girls Run! “She was a very chipper person, always smiling and was always a very positive person,” Alford said.

“She was always up for a challenge on the pavement.

One of her favorite routes was a very hilly route, that most people don’t like, but she loved that route.”

A l f o r d thinks running was a release for Bethea, who she says was File Photo empowered to Latisha Alford help other women see the benefits of exercise and sisterhood – hallmarks of BGR! “She saw something in Black Girls Run! that she liked. This was an outlet for Cheryl, and she came to take advantage of it.”

BGR! has partnered with the Bethea family and other organizations to bring awareness to domestic violence. Alford said educating the public is essential.

Archia agrees.

In talking to survivors, Archia found that many abused women don’t know that there are shelters and other resources available to them.

“We want to provide the resources and connections. Then we want to get them in a safe place and create the conversations that can led to their spiritual, physical and emotional healing,” she said. “Some women don’t know about shelters, how to get a 50-B (restraining order), and don’t even know that the police department has a domestic violence unit. Part of this is just making them aware and educating them on what is available.”

Archia said she also wants women to know that that there is a community that will stand with them.

“They are not alone, and they didn’t do anything wrong. We are here as fellow sisters, and there are women that care about them and their safety enough to be able to be available in the event that they need assistance,” she said.

that people will nod off. I like having a conversation. I would rather talk with people than talk at them,” he said.

The nonprofit Bookmarks will host the author at Hanesbrands Theatre, 209 North Spruce St., at 7 p.m. The program is free and open to the public. After the program, Mott will sign books, which will be available for purchase with proceeds benefitting Bookmarks’ Author in Schools program.

Mott is a Bookmarks favorite; he has been a featured author at the nonprofit’s massive annual Festival of Books.

“The Wonder of All Things” is about a little girl named Ava who has the ability to heal people by touching them. When word of her touch gets out, seemingly the whole world descends on her town wanting healing from the miracle child.

“Readers are reading it and having a good time, I hope,” said Mott, who earned both bachelor and master of fine arts degrees from UNC Wilmington.

“The response has been very good so far.”

The 36-year-old said his success has been surreal. He began writing when he was 14 but did not take it seriously until his 20s. In the beginning, rejection letters were common and agents wouldn’t give him the time of day. “The Returned” changed all of that.

The story of the deceased coming back to life and returning to an idyllic town caught the attention of ABC and Brad Pitt’s Plan B Entertainment. Now in its second season, “Resurrection,” which airs Sundays at 9 p.m., is based on Mott’s book.

Mott said that it was exciting to hear about the TV adaptation of “The Returned.”

“I didn’t really expect it. I didn’t write the book thinking it would be optioned or picked up.

Even when it was optioned, I didn’t expect it to go anywhere, but all of a sudden things just started happening,” he said. “They had a writer, not long after they had a director and before you know it, they were shooting an entire season.”

Mott has worked with producers and the stars of the show, who include Omar Epps and Frances Fisher. “Resurrection” is

filmed in the Atlanta area.

“They are so incredibly down-to-earth, more so than I expected,” he said. “When you are encountering actors and Hollywood types, you are not really sure what to expect. They are amazingly centered, amazingly grounded people who are just good people to know. I consider them friends, honestly.”

The television show has made new fans of his book.

“Readers are still reading it. I get emails from new readers every day who are just really in love with the book. It has gone further than I expected any book to go.

I’m still adapting to all of it,” said Mott, who is working on a new novel and looking to get into screenwriting. “I’m a big film buff and I would love to contribute to the conversation of film.”

B o o k m a r k s Executive Director Ginger Hendricks is excited to have Mott return to Winston-Salem.

“When Bookmarks hosted Jason for the release of his debut novel, “The Returned”, at our 2012 Festival of Books and Authors, we fell in love with him as a person and an author,” Hendricks said. “We are delighted for him to return to Winston-Salem to talk about his second book, “The Wonder of All Things.” We know that all of the attendees – whether new readers, readers of his debut novel or devotees of the TV show based on his book – are in for a treat.”

Mott said he loves interacting with readers.

He wants attendees to come with lots of questions for him.

Our Picks

Ever since President Obama was elected, the Republican Party and many white Americans have had to face their unresolved racism and prejudice.

The GOP, in particular, has exhibited a throwback meanness that harkens back to an era before the Civil Rights Movement. All of the party’s resistance has racial overtones – from the government shutdowns to targeting ObamaCare. Halting any success the President may have has become the sole mission of Republicans, who invoke the name “Obama” almost like it is a hate-filled racial pejorative.

A black president and the ever-browning of America have driven many to the point of out-right hatred. Their attempt to maintain power is behind this movement to disenfranchise, deny and subordinate blacks and other people of color.

So why should blacks come out and vote during this Midterm election? Because we are standing up against the idea that you can’t win by associating with President Obama.

True, some Democrats may deserve to lose, but we are not going to let that happen because we are fighting back at the polls against the way the first African American president has been treated.

President Obama’s name may not be on the ballot, but he is still running – running against the racism and vitriol that have run rampant since he set foot in the White House.

We plan to support President Obama by voting against those who would stand against him.

Our choices in the competitive races are: Kay Hagan for U.S. Senate. She has dodged the President at every turn to bolster her re-election chances, but she is the lesser of two evils; Josh Brannon for the U.S. House Fifth District, and Alma Adams for the U.S. House 12th District; John Motsinger in State Senate District 31; Evelyn Terry is NC House District 71; Mary Dickinson in NC House District 74; David Gordon in NC House District 75; and Cristina Vazquez in NC House District 79.

In the County Commissioners At-Large race, Ted Kaplan stands head and shoulders above the shortsighted Bill Whiteheart. We favor the Democrats – Katherine Fansler, German Garcia and Elisabeth Motsinger – in the School Board At-Large contest because Republican-rule of the board has not elevated or improved our schools. For the same reason, we like Laura Elliott and Deanna Kaplan in School Board District 2.

Susan Frye is by far the most qualified in the Clerk of Court race. We don’t like either choice for NC Supreme Court Chief Justice. Both Mark Martin and Ola Lewis are conservative Republicans – and proud of it. We support Sam Ervin IV, Robin Hudson and Cheri Beasley (the court’s only African American) for the Supreme Court Associate Justice seats.

We like Abe Jones, a Harvard-educated former Superior Court Judge and current UNC Law professor, in the crowded NC Court of Appeals race to replace Judge John C. Martin. Our other Court of Appeals choices are Lucy Inman and Mark Davis.

We like Valene Franco for District Court judge. Her experience and expertise are far superior to those of her opponent, Ted Kazakos. Kazakos is likable and has a devoted following. Those factors may win “American Idol,” but when we are selecting a leader who will wield an extraordinary amount of power, we should dig deeper.

Because the Forsyth Soil and Water supervisors are currently all men, we like Elizabeth Tucker and Vanessa Zboreak. All boards and councils should reflect the cities and communities they serve.

While some say passing the state constitution measure to allow defendants to waive a jury trial is a covert way of denying them their rights, we think the option should be available – as long as defendants are clearly made aware of what they are giving up. We also like that there is a safeguard – a judge must sign-off before a waiver is granted.

We are voting Yes on the city bonds, but we must pressure our leaders to make sure that communities of colors, indeed, get their fair share of the pie. The good the proposed bond projects will do far outweighs the relatively small tax hike.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

No Excuses

To the Editor: A participatory democracy demands active participation from its citizens.

Voting is the primary means that we have to make our country “a more perfect union.” The right to vote has evolved over many years and struggles.

No matter what the Legislative Branch of government passes as laws to discourage or encourage us to go to the polls, as citizens we must be determined to vote - no excuses. No matter who sits on the Judicial Branch of our government, vote – no excuses. No matter who sits in the Executive Branch as president, vote – no excuses.

Our concept of a democracy rests entirely on our active participation. Vote – no excuses. Early voting starts Today (Oct. 23).

the right candidate for the job, careful consideration must be given to the experience of each candidate.

Intelligence, legal experience and temperament are the qualities that should be carefully examined when electing a judge, and after careful consideration, Valene Franco is the best choice to be Forsyth County's next District Court judge.

Valene Franco has over a decade of experience practicing law right here in Forsyth County. Valene walked away from a lucrative career in private practice and entered the public interest field to provide quality legal representation to North Carolinians who can't afford to hire an attorney.

For 15 years, Valene has invested her time, talent and treasure to make Forsyth County a better place for survivors of domestic violence, and I wholeheartedly endorse her as Forsyth County's next district court judge. She is a selfless, servant leader who will work as diligently on the bench as she has during her years as a practicing attorney. Valene is my colleague and my friend, and I'm asking you to make her Forsyth County's next District Court Judge.

Correction

Takeisha R. Redd Attorney at Law

In this week’s voter education special section, the NC District 21A Superior Court Race is not listed.

Two names will appear on the ballot in the nonpartisan contest – attorneys Stacey Rubain and Richard Gottlieb.

Rubain, however, has bowed out of the race, choosing instead to concentrate on being named the county’s next chief public defender.

“Unexpectedly, about three weeks ago, Judge William Z. Wood announced he would be appointing a new chief public defender. When I decided to run back in February, I didn’t think the position would become available,” Rubain said earlier this month. “When he made his decision, I really had to stop and think because had the position been available, it would have weighed very heavily on my decision to run for judge.”

Gottlieb said he is still campaigning actively, despite his opponent’s exit.

“It really doesn’t change the fact that I need to run an aggressive campaign to educate voters on why they should be confidant in my background and to earn their vote,” Gottlieb said.

SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE

What started seven years ago when 12 friends joined the Women’s Fund to give back to their community, continues today as a committed, focused and diverse group of community women called the ACEY Group.

“I was asked to join the Women's Fund. I did not have $1,200 to join as an individual member,” says Dr. Betty Alexander, one of the group’s founders.

“They informed me that there were group memberships, as long as the group came up with a total of $1,200. So I asked 12 of my friends to join with me and we formed one of the Women’s Fund groups and one of the very first that was all African American.”

The Women’s Fund of Winston-Salem works to improve life for women and girls by building communities of female philanthropists. Memberships and donations allow the Fund to then make grants to local non-profits working to improve circumstances for women and girls.

From the start, the ACEY group, was committed to doing more than just collecting money.

They adopted a group mission to seek out and implement ways to meaningfully impact lives. That dedication has resulted in the group undertaking projects such as providing summer camp scholarships to girls, providing items and programs for seniors and providing programming for young girls transitioning through foster care. The group has hosted a conference for young girls and supported other non-profits. While these activities are not officially required for Women’s Fund membership, ACEY group

Dr. Betty Alexander members can’t even picture their journey being any other way.

“Being a part of the Women’s Fund, it is important to the ACEY Group not only to help provide grants to local programs but to be a part of the community by providing activities and services directly to women and girls,” Dr. Alexander said.

“It is important because the projects we address give a face to the issues in the community and we are dedicated to trying to bring about social changes by being visible philanthropists.”

Sabrina Slade, executive director of the Women’s Fund of

Winston-Salem, sees the ACEY Group as a valuable extension of the overall work of the organization and applauds the group’s work in the community.

“Collective giving is at the heart of the Women’s Fund of Winston-Salem,” Slade said. “We understand that together we are strategically positioned to address emerging issues impacting the economic security of women and girls in Forsyth County.

Groups, like our ACEY Group, uplift the spirit of the Fund not only through their membership in the Fund but through their efforts to help girls transition out of foster care each year.”

Member Carmelita Coleman was similarly drawn to ACEY, she says, and wanted to be a part of their strong desire to help girls.

“The ACEY group is unique in that we have a group of professional women who have excelled in their respective professions who are humble hearted enough to truly desire serving and working with the girls of our community,” she said.

The ACEY Group was founded on the principles of: • Achievement in the education of women and girls about the power of philanthropy • Commitment to connect with women and girls in the community • Encourage selfesteem and empowerment of women and girls • Yield women leaders and philanthropists Last week, the group celebrated its 7th anniversary at an evening event at ESR open to members and friends. The occasion featured a reminder of the group’s founding principles and a commitment to continued future good works.

SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE

Wi n s t o n - S a l e m ’s Experiment in SelfReliance is celebrating 50 years of service to the community during 2014. As part of those festivities, the agency recently presented four Legacy Awards to honor longtime supporters.

Honoree William F. Womble served as ESR’s first board chair from 19641968. During his leadership, the infrastructure for board governance, grant submissions, bylaws and program design was implemented.

Womble is still supportive and active in the mission of the agency, which works to eliminate poverty by empowering residents.

The family of the late Logan Burke accepted his award. Burke was a board chair from 1974-1976.

Under his leadership, ESR recruited volunteer mentors, sororities, fraternities and faith-based ministries to sponsor community houses and transportation services for the elderly. The Burke family, including Mayor Pro Tempore Dr. Vivian Burke, continues to support ESR in its endeavors to fight poverty and build assets in the community.

Lynette Wilson and family accepted an award on behalf of the late Louise G. Wilson, who was a longtime executive director of ESR. She had a strong will-

ingness to teach leadership skills and to create opportunities for neighborhoods to be in dialogue with city officials to promote policies and changes that strengthened communities and bridged the gap for many needing services. The Wilson family also continues to support ESR’s endeavors.

Dr. Frank James also received an award. He is a former board chair, a current ad hoc board member

and ESR’s Capital Campaign Honorary Cochair. Dr. James ushered a new focus for ESR during a time of federal funding changes that led to a shift in policies central to the welfare reform movement. He helped to re-establish an Advisory Board and aided in raising funds to build ESR’s new facility. Dr. James is an avid supporter of ESR and continues to serve the community through his many roles.

Sigmas walk against domestic violence SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE

The Sigmas of Winston-Salem participated in the Sixth Annual Family Services’ “Walk a Mile in Her Shoes” on Saturday, Oct. 11, joining many others by donning high heel shoes and walking the streets of downtown to raise awareness of the problem of domestic abuse and sexual violence against women.

Family Services offers a full range of services to help families, including those coping with domestic violence.

“There is something special going on in Phi Beta Sigma,” stated team captain Willie Conner.

“Anytime you can have representation from all three levels: collegiate, alumni and Youth auxiliary (the Sigma Beta Club) of our international organization working together, it is truly something special.”

Sigma Beta Club Vice President Nasir Moore stated the following when asked why the youth group was supporting the walk, “Family Services came out to talk to us about domestic violence during our Sigma Beta Club meeting in September.

We talked about NFL football player Ray Rice; we learned that we are not too young to do something about it.

So today, we put on

heels; the shoes hurt, but we walked a mile to show support to those who are dealing with abuse.”

During the fraternity’s Centennial Founders’ Day Gala in Washington, D.C. on Jan. 11, actor, singer and human rights advocate Harry Belafonte, who is an honorary Sigma, called on his Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity brothers to join a worldwide movement to end the violence and

“My contribution as a new member of the fraternity is to sucker all of you into coming with me and man up and stand up,” he said.” “Let us use this century to be the century where we say we started the mission to end the violence and oppression of women.”

One of the nine predominantly AfricanAmerican Greek-Lettered organizations, Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity was founded at Howard University in Washington, D.C. on Jan. 9, 1914 by three young African-American male students.

The founders wanted to organize a Greek letter fraternity that would truly exemplify the ideals of brotherhood, scholarship, and service. The Fraternity’s motto is “Culture for Service and Service for Humanity.”

Advocate to give Fall Honors address

Grant goes to historic Neely School T H E C H RON I C LE

The Historic Neely School Foundation (HNSF) has received a $10,000 Stedman Incentive Grant from Preservation North Carolina to help with the school’s restoration.

The Neely School was constructed in 1908 in Rowan County by Julius Erastus Neely, a farmer and preacher, and his wife, Katie Stokes McKenzie Neely, so that they could provide education for their seven children and for other

children in the community. As the children of slaves, the Neelys had experienced both the severe deprivation of slavery and the hunger for an education that came with emancipation. The simple one room school house, standing on family land and administered by the family and teachers provided by the county, offered the only opportunity for the children of the immediate community to attend a school.

HNSF was organized by grandchildren of Julius and Katie Neely in order to preserve their

significant legacy and to share it with the public.

The school has been moved to a location immediately in front of its future permanent home on the Neely Home Site.

Family members say it will continue to be a physical reminder of educational advancement and achievement attained by African Americans in rural North Carolina and the struggle for the right to a quality education in the segregated south in the early 20th century.

Pitts inducted into Shaw Hall OCTOBER 23, 2014

Spider Sharpless

ECSU standout signs with Globetrotters

SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE

The world famous Harlem Globetrotters have signed six new players for its 2015 "Washington Generals' Revenge" World Tour. The players include former Elizabeth City State standout Angelo "Spider" Sharpless.

Sharpless, who spent time with the NBA's Indiana Pacers in summer league action in 2013, was the Boxtorow Division II National Player of the Year and CIAA Player of the Year his final season at ECSU. The 6’4” leaper from Plymouth, North Carolina led the conference in rebounding (8.8 rpg) and was third in scoring (20.5 ppg), while shooting 50.7 percent from the field.

Sharpless was the only player in the conference who was in the top 10 in scoring, rebounding, steals and blocked shots. He was a two-time All-CIAA honoree (2012, 2013) and in 2012 earned the #1 spot on SportsCenter's Top 10 plays.

The Globetrotters will face a great challenge this year, as the infamous Washington Generals are more determined than ever to match the franchise's historic last victory over the Globetrotters in 1971. The new crop of rookies will be counted on to help fend off that challenge.

"The Globetrotters haven't played the Generals in five years, and we hear they have been going to the ends of the earth to find the best players to help them get that elusive victory," said Globetrotters Legend Sweet Lou Dunbar, the team's director of player personnel, "but the Globetrotters have also reloaded with a terrific rookie class, so we will be ready."

In addition to Sharpless, the Globetrotter rookie class includes five more players with strong backgrounds – Tyrone "Turbo" Davis, Chris "Smooth" Staples, Carlos "Dizzy" English, Tydran "Crash" Beaty and DeAndre "Dragon" Taylor.

Coach Isaac Pitts of Quality Education Academy always believed he had a modest chance to be enshrined in the Athletic Hall of Fame at Shaw University, his alma mater. That's because four of his college basketball teammates from the 1980s had been selected in previous years.

When Pitts learned that 2014 would be his year to join the select group, he admits that he felt overwhelmed. Pitts, along with five others, will be enshrined at Shaw's Hall of Fame Banquet tonight (Oct. 23) in Raleigh.

"I was blown away when I got the news," he said. "I'm thankful, grateful and honored to be recognized. In the back of my mind, I always felt it (induction) was a possibility. But it's not something you think about all that much until it actually happens."

Pitts arrived at Shaw in the early '80s at a time when the basketball program went into rebuilding mode. During that era (1982-85), Pitts averaged 15 points and 13 rebounds for his career. As a freshman, he was voted team MVP and turned in memorable performances against Bowie State (25 points, 22 rebounds) and Virginia State (27 points, 16 rebounds in the '83 CIAA Tournament).

"Isaac did it all and he was very consistent," said Alfonza Carter, who served as an assistant coach at Shaw when Pitts played.

"He had an assortment of moves and could face-up or play with his back to the basket.

For me, it was very satisfying to watch him

mature as a player and as an individual. He was always very coachable. But my greatest thrill was to see him walk across that stage and graduate."

As a 6’5” small forward on Shaw's undersized squad, Pitts frequently played center against taller opponents, which included black college legends Charles Oakley of Virginia Union (Bulls, Knicks), Joe Binion of N.C. A&T (drafted by the

Spurs) and Donald Carroll of St. Augustine's (drafted by the Bullets).

"One of the highlights for me in college was coming back home to play against Winston-Salem State in the Gaines Center," said Pitts, who graduated from Parkland.

"Playing in the CIAA Tournament also brings back a lot of great memories. Back then, only the top four teams in each division went to the tournament, so there was more pressure to make the cut. The atmosphere for those games was big-time."

Tonight's ceremony has added significance for Pitts because Carter, the school's Vice-President of Administrative Services, will also be enshrined. "Going into the Hall of Fame at the same time with one of my coaches," Pitts explained, "makes this year's induction even more special."

The lessons that Pitts learned as a player haven't been filed away and forgotten. Much of his coaching philosophy is rooted in what he gleaned from coach Warren "Big Time" Reynolds and Carter. During his six seasons at QEA, Pitts has a 152-21 record, which equates to a .878 winning percentage.

"I'm so thankful for everything I learned from my coaches," said Pitts, who graduated from Shaw with a bachelor's degree in Sociology. "Those truths still apply today and I use that a lot in working with my players. I learned how important it is to be accountable to yourself and to your teammates. It's just as important to be appreciative for the opportunity to play as a college athlete. There are going to be times when you lose, but it's how you respond to losses and how you bounce back that really helps you to grow."

Lewis was the first Ram to score. The win gave the Rams a 6-1 overall record. The team is undefeated in the CIAA. On Saturday, the Rams are again at home – taking on Livingstone.

N.C. A&T Sophomore Cody Jones had to add a new role to his duties of kicking off and kicking field goals and extra points when punter Dominic Frescura went down with a season-ending knee injury on Sept. 27 at Howard. Jones’ new role as the Aggies punter, along with his other responsibilities, helped the Aggies come away with a 33-20 conference road win over Delaware State.

Jones made all four of his field goals, all three of his extra points and punted four times for an average of 53.2 yards to earn MEAC Special Teams Player of the Week.

The conference made the announcement Monday. It was Jones’ first-ever weekly honor from the conference. Jones’ four field goal kicks had distances of 32, 29, 28 and a career-long 43 yards. He also booted a career-long 62-yard punt in the third quarter.

Jones is 10-for-13 in field goals this season and has connected on his last seven attempts. He is 19-for-26 (.731) on field goals in his career. Before missing an extra point against Hampton on Oct. 9, Jones had made 30 straight extra points dating back to last season. He is 59-for-61 (.967) on extra points in his career.

Jones and the Aggies will be back in action Saturday, Oct. 25 as the Aggies host the Greatest Homecoming On Earth at 1 p.m., at Aggie Stadium against Florida A&M.

Volleyball honors for Smith and Henderson CHRONICLE STAFF REPORT

Henderson

The Winston-Salem State Lady Rams Volleyball program took home weekly from CIAA for the week of Oct. 5.

Freshman hitter Jasmine Smith was named the CIAA Rookie of the Week, and Head Coach Andi Henderson was named the CIAA Coach of the Week for the second week in a row.

The Lady Rams had a stellar week, taking back-to-back CIAA Southern Division wins over Johnson C. Smith and Livingstone. Smith had a great

week with 31 kills, including a careerhigh 21 against Livingstone. Henderson took home a consecutive coaching honor after extending the team's winning streak to five matches, all CIAA victories. The team’s streak reached six after it defeated Bluefield State on Oct. 15.

The Lady Rams are now on a downward slump, though. The team fell to the North Greenville Crusaders in straight sets and Limestone in in four sets on Oct. 18. They were set to take on St. Augustine's and Lees-McRae this week, after The Chronicle’s press time.
