BY TODD LUCK THE CHRONICLE

The City of Winston-Salem is currently assessing what went wrong with the Liberty Street Market, which closed this summer.

The market, which consisted of two covered shelters built on a vacant lot the city owns at 1591 N. Liberty St., was shuttered after Mercedes Miller ended her company’s contract to run it for the city. MercedesEmpowers Inc. is her company. It is widely believed the low response of the market was the reason for Miller using the 10-day escape clause to end the two-year contract. The shelters are currently only being used on Thursdays for food distribution by Second Harvest Food Bank. The City’s Business and Community Development Department oversees the market and is currently assessing its options for it. The market cost around $350,000 to design and build.

When the grand opening at the market was held in October, the market was packed with vendors.

Lynette Fitzgerald, of Lyn's Special Tees, who creates hand-crafted ladies’ clothing from T-shirts, said the opening drew a large crowd that purchased her clothes. She said it looked like everything would get bigger and better from there. But in her two subsequent times setting up there, she found much less traffic and participa-

“It was a catch -22, the people would say they want the produce, we would get the farmers in there and the farmers were sitting all day and it’s not like the community was running over there buying the produce.”

prised it’s not doing extremely well. I was looking forward to being on a waiting list to get in versus it being closed down.”

Ardella Fuiell-Salimia, The Bean Lady, who sells dried heirloom beans and food made from beans, set up weekly at the market because she believed in what it could do for the community. She said after a hopeful opening, participation dropped.

“As the weeks went on and the weather changed, as the season changed, it dwindled down,” she said.

The market was originally planned to be open ThursdaySaturday all year-round, but that didn’t happen. Even with a glassenclosed shelter and vendors using the electrical outlets there for space heaters, it was still very cold in the winter. Fuiell-Salimia said there was a mutual decision between management and vendors to take a winter hiatus, starting in December and returning in April, because of the bitter cold and lack of customers. The hiatus, however, had its costs for the fledgling market.

“Those few months of not being open, I think the interest that had built up from the grand opening in October, I think it had dwindled by then,” said Fuiell-Salimia. “I think people went back to not knowing the market was there or that it was open or what we were even doing up there.”

She said days with special activities held there got good participation, but vendor participation and customers were still down.

One of the goals of the market was to bring fresh produce to the area.

Fuiell-Salimia said before the hiatus, there was produce at the market, but after the break, the farmers didn’t return. She said one farmer came See Market on A2

Police Chief Barry Rountree reflects on 9/11 14th ANNIVERSARY

BY TEVIN STINSON THE CHRONICLE

On Tuesday, Sept. 8, Barry Rountree, chief of the Winston-Salem Police Department (WSPD), gave his reflections on the 9/11 terrorist attacks on America.

This Friday, Sept. 11, will mark the 14-year anniversary of the day 19 militants associated with the extremist group al-Qaeda hijacked four airliners and carried out suicide attacks against targets in the United States.

Rountree’s reflections were part of the 9/11 Day of Remembrance organized by the Love Community Development Corporation.

During his speech to the community and members of the WSPD, Rountree asked everyone to think back to what they were doing when they got the news of the attacks.

Rountree, who has been police chief since 2004, said he can recall that he was in Raleigh attending a management course when he heard the news.

“We had just started the class when someone ran in and instructed us to turn on the TV, said Rountree. “ Being in a room full of police officers, we all started to call around to see if we could find out any new information that had been left out.”

“My thoughts and views on 9/11 is that it was a day of calculation, grief, courage and a day of determination.”

Rountree Rountree said although the attacks were calculated and caused a lot a grief, they also showed him how much courage and determination the citizens of this country have.

“We should think about the courage and dedication of the first responders, while everyone was running away, the firefighters, the emergency EMS, and the police officers were running into the fire. That’s why, in my opinion, it was a day of courage.”

Over 3,000 people were killed during the attacks in New York City and Washington, D.C., including more than 400 police officers and firefighters. The attacks on the World Trade Center towers and the Pentagon were the worst terrorist attacks on Americans since Pearl Harbor in 1941.

Rountree believes that although the attacks were meant to destroy America, it only made the country stronger. He went on to applaud everyday citizens for their courage and determination to help fellow citizens on that horrific day.

“It wasn’t only just the professionals. There were a number of citizens who risked their own lives to help others,” said Rountree. “After seeing all the devastation, we as Americans became determined to become stronger and find out who carried out the attacks.”

“We were determined to rebuild. I believe this is the same determination that we have right here with our citizens and first responders in Winston-Salem,” Rountree said.

After Rountree’s speech, Dr. Kathy Kenney gave her reflections on the day. On the morning of 9/11, Kenney was in New York City, were she was working at the time.

Kenney said its hard to forget about the things she saw on that clear Tuesday morning, but said the attacks have taught her to become more involved in the community and in improving and securing the quality of life for all Americans.

“We shouldn’t just be mourning those we have lost on this day, but we should also use it as a day and time to improve the lives of those who are still here,” Kenney

Sumpter also thanked the WSPD for all the work they do in the community.

“It was a catch -22, the people would say they want the produce, we would get the farmers in there and the farmers were sitting all day and it’s not like the community was running over there buying the produce,” she said.

Fuiell-Salimia said the low turnout of vendors resulted in few customers.

When she got the call that the market was closing in late June, she didn’t even have to ask why.

She said with so many vendors in the area already having found profitable markets and venues to set up at, the Liberty market had tough competition, but it could still be a great vendor venue. If given the right incentives, she said she’d try the market again

He said he was disappointed that produce from the community garden in Cleveland Avenue Homes didn’t make it to the market. He said there were plans to teach gardening to the youth there and have them sell the produce at the market.

“We were going to teach them the garden aspect of it, so they could learn how they could earn their own income,” he said.

Peterson was disappointed that market didn’t deliver what it promised.

He also said the fence around it felt uninviting and put a barrier between it and the people who were supposed to use it.

said when Ruben Gonzalez, the city’s now retired development project supervisor, approached him with the idea for the market, he thought it was going to be good for Liberty Street. Shaw originally believed Liberty CDC was going to run the market before Miller won a bid for it, and said he’d gotten so many calls from vendors at the time, that he had to turn them away. He said he was unsure why it didn’t work, but Liberty Street is the worse off for it.

“I wish it had stayed open, it was a good thing for the community,” he said.

Shaw has publicly said that a city official asked him if he was interested in running the market now, but he said he was no longer interested in operating it.

Joines to run for re-election and take on poverty T H E C H R ON I C LE

BY TODD LUCK THE CHRONICLE

Mayor Allen Joines announced Wednesday, Sept. 9, that he’s seeking a fifth term as Winston-Salem’s mayor and is pledging to significantly decrease poverty in the city.

Poverty remains a persistent problem in the city. Poverty has grown 81 percent from 2000 to 2010, according to a Brookings Institute analysis of U.S. Census data. According to a study by the United Way of Forsyth County, 1 in 3 children and 1 in 5 of all residents in Forsyth County live in poverty.

Joines said he’s aware of the difficulty of the issue, and that there’s been many efforts and trillions of dollars spent over the past 50 years on the problem going back to President Lyndon Johnson’s famous War on Poverty.

“I think it’s more a matter of we’re continuing to do the same thing the same ways and getting the same results,” he said.

Joines said he’s put together a “thought force of community leaders and critical thinkers” to come up with different solu-

Crosby Scholars Program seeks applicants SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE

Applications for enrollment to the Crosby Scholars Program are being accepted from students in grades six through 10 until Oct. 1.

The Crosby Scholars Program, which was begun in 1992 in honor of entertainer Bing Crosby, is dedicated to helping students in public middle and high schools in Forsyth County prepare academically, personally and financially for college admission and other post-secondary opportunities.

Crosby Scholars are exposed to workshops about test taking, study skills, time management, conflict resolution, career and college exploration and many other topics. Students completing the program in grades 10, 11 and 12 are eligible to apply for "Last Dollar" scholarships for college.

They are also given the opportunity to visit college campuses.

Last year, the Crosby Scholars class of 2015 included 742 students who went on to attend over 117 college and universities. Additionally, all participants in the program performed over 107,000 hours of community service for the 2014-2015 school year.

including along Martin Luther King Jr. Drive. He’s hoping to see an increase in moderate income housing, restaurants and good paying jobs in the area.

Joines has had a history of strong support in the black community, among others, in the city.

“I think I’ve been a mayor for all the people,” said Joines. “I’ve been sensitive to issues in the minority community. I’ve supported programs for job development, social programs, affordable housing – I’ve been a champion for that.”

Joines’ campaign is touting many accomplishments during his 14 years as mayor, including the inception of a “My Brother’s Keeper” program for at-risk African-American males, initiatives to reduce childhood obesity and the establishment of the Ten Year Plan to End Chronic Homelessness that resulted in a 50 percent decrease in chronic homelessness.

It also points to low unemployment, high

To be eligible to apply, students must be in grades six though 10 and enrolled in a public middle school or high school in Forsyth County.

Students in the program last year do not need to reapply.

All students that meet the eligibility requirements and apply to the program are automatically accepted.

There is no fee for the program but all scholars are required to demonstrate good citizenship, attend one Crosby Scholar Academy each school year, complete and document a minimum of two hours of community service each school year, follow all school rules and refrain from out-of-school suspension and participate in other mandatory requirements as assigned by grade level throughout the school year.

private investment and that the city has the lowest tax rate among the state’s major cities.

Joines is also well known in the city through his many appearances around town.

“I think I’ve been a mayor that’s been accessible to all sectors of the community,” he said. “I think I’ve been to something like 1,200 events last year to represent the city and show support for these events that are put out around the city.”

Joines was originally elected in 2001 after beating incumbent Republican Mayor Jack Cavanaugh with 78 percent of the vote. Since then, he faced no opposition for the office until he was challenged by Democrat Gardenia Henley in the 2013 primary, which he won with 88 percent of the vote, and by Republican James Knox in that year’s General Election, which he won with 84 percent of the vote.

Joines, who is already the longest serving mayor in the city’s history, said he wants the chance to deal with “unfinished business" with a next term. And after that?

“Never say never. I’ve had my fair share of opportunities there. It may be time for someone else after that,” said Joines.

Theatre Alliance receives grants for renovation project, play SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE

Winston-Salem Theatre Alliance recently received two grants that will support its Size Matters campaign to renovate its theater and help to continue an ongoing series of play readings. The Winston-Salem Foundation has awarded a grant of $4,500 that will help fund the expenses of Theatre Alliance’s campaign to renovate its current space at 1047 Northwest Blvd. to accommodate larger audiences.

The Piedmont Natural Gas Foundation has also granted $500 to Theatre Alliance to help cover the cost of continuing the By-TheBook series.

“We’ve had tremendous response from individuals and foundations to our renovation plans for the

existing theater,” said Theatre Alliance Artistic Director Jamie Lawson.

“The Winston-Salem Foundation grant will let us put all of the funds raised to

work on the project.

The By-The-Book series, meanwhile, has been an excellent community involvement undertaking for us while giving more shortterm acting opportunities to our volunteers. We’re very pleased to have part of the cost of that program offset by the Piedmont Natural Gas Foundation.”

Community-Based Collaborations Alana James said the agency will be devoting up to 25 percent of resources, which is over a million dollars in 2016 alone, to Place Matters. She said the neighborhoods were chosen not just for their challenges but also because of their promise. “These neighborhoods in this part of the community are actually not the most challenged part of the community, but they do have significant and complex issues, but they also have a number of assets to build on, and part of that is very active residents who are willing to partner with us,� she said.

To build relationships with the 5,300 residents in the area and guide them through the process, the United Way turned to NBN. The local nonprofit regularly awards grassroots grants funded by local foundations and provides a variety of support to community groups.

He’d use the grant to fund things like college tours, educational supplies for students and a Christmas present giveaway the group will begin this year at two local elementary schools. He said he was also glad to see the area getting assistance. “I think it’s needed,� he said. “I think it’s a great initiative that they’re doing.

Liberty Street LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Market went Thanks for being sponsor of wrong from aSilent Witnesses beginning In mid-October of last year, excitement was in the air. Liberty Street Market, 1591 N. Liberty St., opened to the public with a ribbon cutting and remarks from city and community leaders.

A dozen vendors were at the Liberty Street Market on opening day. Vendors offered an array of items, from fresh produce and baked sweets to African art and blue jeans.

Eleven months later, no vendors are there.

What happened to Liberty Street Market? It could be that the business venture was handled all wrong.

Liberty Street Market was among several concerns voiced at a barbershop community meeting that Council Member Derwin Montgomery held in the East Ward.

Several community members pointed to what they saw as the problem with the market. There is a

fence around it. “They want to keep us out,” one person said. Others agreed. But wasn’t the Liberty Street Market there to help the residents of the area?

Maybe not.

In the usual process of opening a business, a site is identified and a market feasibility study is done.

The numerous businesses that have been announcing their intentions to open in the South and Southwest wards and in downtown recently no doubt can put their hands on the market feasibility studies for their businesses. The market feasibility study looks at the market for the goods and services the businesses are trying to sell to determine if there are enough people with money in the particular area who would be willing to buy from them. Is there a market feasibility study for the Liberty Street Market?

The Chronicle reported in October that Mayor Pro Tempore Vivian Burke held a copy of the Liberty Street Corridor feasibility study done in 1996 as she made her remarks at the Liberty Street Market ceremony. Burke, the longtime Northeast Ward City Council member, represents one part of Liberty Street; Montgomery represents the other.

1996 is almost 20 years ago. No successful business would open in the 21st century using a 20-yearold market feasibility study.

A current market feasibility study for Liberty Street Market should have told the city of WinstonSalem something about the people who live in the area and their willingness to support the market with their cash. Has anyone asked the residents what they wanted? Did anyone find out whether the community would financially support the market? Residents who spoke with Montgomery earlier this year said no one asked them if they wanted Liberty Street Market in their neighborhood. No one apparently did a current market feasibility study. Is this because mostly black people live in the area, so it doesn’t matter what they want; they’ll just have to take what the city gives them?

Liberty Street Market sits on a site that was dilapidated. It was an eyesore. It looks nice now, with two large covered shelters and with parking spaces for customers. Except there are no customers. There are no vendors. Only a reminder of what should have been: The city should have asked the residents if they wanted Liberty Street Market. All the savvy businesspeople ask before they build.

So now, the city is at a loss as to what to do with Liberty Street Market. Here’s an idea: Ask the residents what they want.

To the Editor:

The Winston-Salem Police Department has enjoyed a great partnership with our business community for many years and we are thankful that you [The Chronicle] have chosen to be an active participant in strengthening our relationship. Your sponsorship of our Silent Witnesses is a testament to your commitment to the WinstonSalem community.

The Silent Witness you have sponsored is property of the Winston-Salem P o l i c e Department; Rountree however, your name, as the sponsor, will be permanently affixed and on display throughout numerous events in the future.

One hundred percent of the money you gave in sponsorship of a Silent Witness will be donated to Family Services of Forsyth County to help provide resources to victims of domestic violence. I hope that someone finds the help they need, someone no longer has to deal with domestic violence and someone’s life is made better because of people like you who are willing to help.

Ministers meet with Roy Cooper over officer retrial, but he still says no To the Editor:

Today a group of clergy from Charlotte and the Greater North Carolina community, in partnership with the N.C. NAACP, delivered the attached letter to Attorney General Roy Cooper [in Raleigh] to express their concerns regarding his decision to not retry Charlotte Mecklenburg Police Officer Randall Kerrick in the wrongful death of Johnathan Ferrell.

However, after a very impassioned conversation, the final decision from the Attorney General remains to not retry this case.

"In light of this decision, we are still committed to pressing for a retrial so that justice is done for the Ferrell family and all citizens of North Carolina" says Dr. Rodney Sadler, associate professor of Bible Union Presbyterian Seminary. This coalition of clergy will reconvene after this meeting to discuss next steps and release further details in the near future.

This is what was presented to Attorney General Roy Cooper: Friday, September 4, 2015

North Carolina Attorney General Roy Cooper North Carolina Department of Justice RE: The decision not to retry Officer Randall Kerrick Dear Attorney General Cooper:

Thank you for taking the time to meet with us. We asked the N.C. NAACP to join us. As members of the Charlotte community, we wanted to meet with you to discuss our concerns in relation to your decision to not retry Officer Randall Kerrick for the wrongful death of Jonathan Ferrell.

We understand that the city of Charlotte settled with the family in this case, but there is no amount of money that can justify the fact that Officer Kerrick used unreasonable force to shoot and kill an unarmed man. Testimony from this case has shown that Kerrick violated police department policies and because of his actions, he was charged with involuntary manslaughter.

We also understand that the jury was hung, by an 8 to 4 vote, that they were unable to pronounce a verdict and as a result, the court was forced to declare a mistrial.

However, what we do not understand is why you feel that to retry this case would not yield a different result when our community believes and the law dictates that a retrial is in order. Yes, the jury in the first trial was unable to speak in one voice, but such a hung jury has not spoken for the Charlotte Community or the people of North Carolina. The loss of human life and the heartbreak of a family require a more just and wise response.

In the state of North Carolina where African-Americans have a long history of being wrongfully convicted of murder and other crimes, we now see a case of the same legal system refusing to prop-

erly try an officer of the law for killing an unarmed black college student. We contend that your decision not to retry this case was made much too quickly.

We are concerned that the dash cam video was not put into proper perspective given our long experience with the racial stereotypes that young black men are a lethal danger to a society that is too often justified in taking his life for its own alleged protection. This standard is far too subjective and it results in a call for retrial that has become habitual.

We are also concerned that little to no weight was placed on the fact that the city settled the case with the family based on research that these type actions by the Charlotte Mecklenburg Police Department, although reported, were never investigated by external forces.

Finally, we are concerned that your quick decision not to submit the evidence of this case to a new jury sets a dangerous precedent that lends itself to continued issues of inequality in the criminal justice system.

In light of this history and our concerns, we call for you to reconsider and retry this case for the sake of this family and this community, and in the name of justice. We believe the decision not to do so is unconscionable. Too many times, too many mothers and wives have buried their sons and husbands.

Concerned Clergy of Charlotte and the greater North Carolina Community:

#BlackLivesMatter prioritizes Black life

Visit Our New Website www.WSChronicle.com

Nineteenyear-old Julianne Z a c h a r y Malveaux H a m m o n d was sitting in a Hardee’s Guest parking lot in Columnist his hometown of Seneca, S.C., on a first date. An undercover agent had arranged to buy marijuana from his date and had lured her to the parking lot.

What could have been a simple drug bust turned into tragedy. Zachary was killed when two bullets struck him on July 26.

As always, there are conflicting stories of what happened. The shooting officer says he was in danger of being run over by Hammond, but not everyone agrees, and one Hardee’s employee witnessed officers moving Hammond’s body to place it so it confirmed officer reports Hammond is White and his name is not as widely known as that of Michael Brown, Eric Garner, or Tamir Rice.

Hammond’s family and their attorney, Eric Bland, say the national media have not covered the murder of Zach Hammond because he is White. Give me a break.

While activists organized to protest the murders of the unarmed African-American men (and women) who have been killed by the police, no one in Zach Hammond’s circle has cared enough to organize an action to protest his killing. His town is majority White, as are the officers of the law.

Citizens of Seneca, S.C., need to ask why Zach’s killing is tolerated.

Approximately 350 people have been killed by police officers so far this year. We don’t know all of their names, but we do know that African-Americans are twice as likely to be killed (or die in police custody) as Whites. We know about Sandra Bland, and Eric Garner, and Michael Brown, and Tamir Rice because somebody lifted them up, organized around their murders, and made their presence known. Tellingly, the protest of Michael Brown’s murder was muted until a grand jury failed to indict murderer Darren Wilson for his crime.

In the case of Zach Hammond, there has been no tape issued, no witnesses who have come forward, and a police bureaucracy that seems in no hurry to issue facts and findings. Still, everybody would know Zach Hammond’s name if that #AllLivesMatter crowd, the ones who object to the #BlackLivesMatter movement, would coalesce around Zach Hammond’s murder. Instead of criticizing

T H E C H R ON I C LE

the #BlackLivesMatter movement, Hammond’s attorney and his grieving parents ought to ask why more White folks aren’t outraged about young Hammond’s death.

Zach Hammond’s tragic death highlights the reasons why police officers should be forced to wear body cameras. It reminds us that too many trigger-happy officers of the law should be better trained.

It reminds us that some have been trained (or decided) to shoot to kill, even if the perceived threat comes from a 12-year-old child playing with a toy gun, or a young White man who (facts still to be determined) was simply driving his car. Even if Zach Hammond was trying to flee the Hardee’s parking lot, the consequence for evading arrest should not be the death penalty.

I am proud of the #BlackLivesMatter movement, an excited about the three young women who organized it, and the thousands who have united under their

banner. That movement that prioritizes black lives in a way that they have never before been prioritized.

The #AllLivesMatter seems to be a flippant answer to #BlackLivesMatter. But here’s the deal – White lives have always mattered and Black lives have been historically denigrated. Our nation’s organizing principle, the Constitution, stated that African-Americans should only be counted as three fifths of a person. Thousands of African-American people were lynched because they dared defy “Black Codes” or simply because they had too much money, too much attitude or too much dignity for oppressive White southerners. Congress repeatedly refused to pass anti-lynching laws.

If all lives matter, where are the White folks who protest the murder of Michael Brown and Eric Garner? Where are the White folks who will protest Zach Hammond’s murder? (There have been White protesters, to be sure, but have Zach

Hammond’s parents ever been to a rally to protest the loss of Black life). There are many Black south Carolinians who would join in a protest against police brutality and an unjust killing. But those close to Zach Hammond will have to do the organizing to attract the national media.

Because of historic oppression, it is important for those who oppose needless police killings of unarmed Black people to embrace the #BlackLivesMatter movement. All lives matter, certainly, but it is the disproportionate killing of AfricanAmericans that has provided the impetus for a movement. Eric Bland, the Hammond attorney, ought to embrace it instead of being criticizing it.

The parental component in a child’s education is mandatory

James B. Ewers Jr.

Guest Columnist

The educational pursuits of students seem to be on everyone’s radar screen.

Currently, one of the debates is about Common Core and whether that should be mandated in every state. Some years ago, “No child left behind gathered a lot of steam and a lot of critics.

Statewide testing is also a buzz phrase now as each state has developed its own formula for competence and success. Some argue that if students make outstanding grades then why should they be bound to a test? Meanwhile teachers are teaching to the test trying to ensure their students pass these statewide tests.

Some school districts are threatening teachers with job loss unless their students pass these tests. In other words, a teacher’s job security is in the hands of an elementary or middle school student. Oh my!

We are now firmly in a testing mode and the end is nowhere in sight. You couple increased teacher expectations with the

statewide testing frenzy and that is a recipe for disaster.

Too many children are coming to school ill-prepared for instruction and the subsequent success that goes with it. School has started and summer is now but a memory. Yes, the children had a great time on vacation and yes they had a chance to sleep late but are they ready for school?

I think that depends upon whom you talk to about this matter.

You’ll hear many people say it is the teachers who will get the students “ready” for the school year.

Not so fast my friends as I believe there is another view which is gaining traction in a lot of homes.

Many parents are now engaging their children in learning activities during the summer. There is play time but there is also reading and math time.

Depending upon the age of the child these exercises can last for a couple of hours. As a result of parents’ direct involvement, students are better equipped educationally and socially to return to school after summer break.

A parent does not have to be college-trained to value education. I grew up in a neighborhood where not every parent had a college degree. Yet this did

Principles and guidelines for successful parental engagement

1. Be your child’s parent and not his or her friend.

2, Value education in your home and make sure your child knows it.

3. Get your child a library card today.

4. Develop an educational relationship with your child’s teachers.

5. Start or join a parents’ support group at your school. Other parents are having the same problems.

6. Limit your child’s television watching.

7. Curb your child’s cell phone use, especially at night.

8. Become knowledgeable about social media and what your child is doing on it.

9. Meet your child’s principal. He or she shouldn’t be attending school there if you have not met the principal.

10. Set aside time each night for homework and school reflections.

11. Discuss your child’s life goals with him or her.

12. Don’t buy him or her the latest fashions because they want them.

13. Know who your child’s friends are.

14. Express your love to your child.

He or she needs and want to hear it.

not hinder them from placing a high value on education.

When we walked home from school in WinstonSalem NC, we were always asked by neighbors about homework and what did we learn. Obviously, we had to have some answers or be reported to our parents.

The times have changed but I believe the value of an education has not changed nor has the role of parents.

Schools are being maligned these days because some see it as a panacea that can cure all student ills. Teachers have become social workers, surrogate parents and counselors.

Schools have become social service centers where goods and services are being given to students, many at no cost.

This paradigm shift has lifted much of the responsibility from parents. Many

parents say, “Send them to school, the teachers can handle it.” No, the teachers can’t handle it and it is unfair to them.

For example, when a student gets in trouble and the parent is called, they begin a verbal assault against the teacher. As the young people would say, don’t get it twisted. I can’t imagine my parents siding with me in my wrongdoing. I never wanted to hear

the words, “wait until you get home or better yet, wait until I tell your father.”

Parents can no longer hold schools accountable for the rearing of their children. We must do the childrearing and be their parents and not their friends.

The parent ship will always have the wind at its back.

But the friend ship will simply be in the wind, unsure of its course and direction.

Based upon my experiences as both a parent and a grandparent, I humbly submit these tips and advice for your review and consideration. If you fail a time or two, no worries as many of us failed as well before we figured it out. The important part to remember is that you are ultimately responsible for your child.

Newsweek puts Early College of Forsyth in Top 1% of U.S. high schools

Submitted photo

Graduates of the Early College of Forsyth (ECF) received both their high school diploma and their AA and/or AAS degree in two separate ceremonies on the same day in May 2015. For the second year in a row, ECF has been ranked by Newsweek as one of the top U.S. high schools.

SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE

Early College of Forsyth (ECF), located on the main campus of Forsyth Tech in WinstonSalem, has been recognized as one of the top 500 high schools in Newsweek’s recently released 2015 High School Rankings.

Newsweek’s study analyzed more than 16,000 high schools around the country, and ranked ECF at No. 103, placing it in the top 0.6 percent.

Of the 15 N.C. high schools that made it into Newsweek’s top 500 list, ECF held the second highest ranking and was one of five Early Colleges in the

state to be ranked in the top 500.

“Forsyth Tech, in collaboration with the Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools, has worked hard over the past seven years to make Early College of Forsyth an outstanding educational option for high school students focused on obtaining a college degree,” said Fran Cook, principal of ECF. “The success of ECF is due to the dedication of our talented faculty and staff to academic excellence and their commitment to helping our students succeed.”

Marchers say S.C. Gov. Haley has more to learn about race

BY MEG KINNARD ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHARLESTON, S.C. —Taking the podium before hundreds assembled for Labor Day weekend activities in downtown Charleston, the Rev. Joseph Darby said he has no doubt that South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley was deeply affected by the slayings of nine black churchgoers earlier this summer.

But the second-term Republican, the daughter of Indian immigrants, may have diversity in her background but has a warped sense of racial reality in South Carolina and is misguided when she talks about the state having racial harmony, Darby told a crowd of around 500 gathered in Marion Square. ``She still needs a little bit of education,'' said Darby – an official with Charleston NAACP and longtime friend of Clementa Pinckney, the senator and pastor slain with eight others at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal (A.M.E.) Church in June _ to cheers and applause from those gathered in the hot morning sun. ``She is not the poster child for racial harmony.'' ``Rather than condemning `Black Lives Matter,' you might ought to lighten up and listen to what they have to say,'' Darby admonished the governor.

Darby referenced Haley's comments recently at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., where South Carolina's first minority governor said that black lives do matter but have been ``disgracefully jeopardized'' by the Black Lives Matter movement that laid waste to Ferguson, Missouri, and Baltimore.

Haley called the riots there senseless, saying they primarily harmed black residents and the businesses that serve them.

But in South Carolina, primarily in the wake of the church slayings, the governor said the state showed

off how far race relations in South Carolina have come. ``With the grace of the aftermath of the Mother Emanuel church massacre, the world saw South Carolina as we are,'' she said. ``We've been that way for some time now – it's just that a lot of people outside of our state never noticed.''

At Saturday's events, relatives of Walter Scott – the black man shot to death by a white police officer in North Charleston this spring – joined with the families of those killed at Mother Emanuel to march through downtown Charleston and discuss race relations, labor issues and healing.

Darby's sentiments were echoed by the North Carolina NAACP president, who also said Haley only spoke out about removing the Confederate flag from the Statehouse grounds after the deaths, not before the tragedy. ``This narrative suggests that only black death matters,'' the Rev. William Barber II said. ``She didn't move the flag when living people boycotted the flag for 15 years with the NAACP.'' Haley, whose call to remove the flag was ultimately successful this past July, says the state has made race-based progress but still can do more. Her office also says the governor commends the A.M.E. church for setting an example of compassion that led the state through one of its most difficult periods.

Haley press secretary Chaney Adams said in a statement provided to The Associated Press: ``The governor has an enduring respect and fondness for the A.M.E. Church – she knows South Carolina would not have gotten through this summer the way we did if it wasn't for the example of love and compassion set by the Church and its leadership.''

pare students for college, including, but not limited to, standardized test proficiency, graduation rates and counselor-to-student ratios.

ECF, which was opened in 2008 and graduated its first class in 2008, was recognized for its 100 percent graduation rate, 82.9 percent student retention rate, and the fact that 96.8 percent of graduates further their college education at the end of the program.

BY CRAIG T. GREENLEE FOR THE CHRONICLE

If you've watched Carver's junior varsity in recent weeks, then you know that there's no question about the team's football identity.

Some might call it “old school.”

Others might refer to it as “smashmouth.”

Or, the proverbial “three yards and a cloud of dust.”

Regardless of what label you might attach to the Yellowjackets’ style of play, there's no denying that it's effective. After losing by five touchdowns to powerhouse Greensboro Dudley in the season opener (36-6) three weeks ago, resilient Carver bounced back with victories over Mount Tabor and Parkland.

The Yellowjackets rely on their stingy defense, which has allowed a total of 12 points over the past two weeks. The emerging ringleaders of the stop unit are linebackers Jeremy Brown-Middleton and Tarja Cornell.

When it comes to offense, there's nothing complicated about Coach Alonzo Winfield's scheme. No fleaflicker pass plays. No double-reverses. No gadget plays of any kind. The no-frills approach is all about controlling the tempo and pounding opponents with a bruising ground game.

Ty r e k Thompson (6-feet, 1, 300 pounds), along with Treyvez George and Dequantes Wilson, are the movers and shakers on the offensive line who clear the way for the rushing attack to flourish. T.J. Boyce, Carver's featured running back, is the chief beneficiary.

“Our philosophy is very basic,” said Winfield. “Play exceptional defense, limit turnovers and run the See No-frills on B2

Reagan finally got the breakthrough it had been seeking in jayvee football. After two previously unsuccessful attempts, the visiting Raiders finally came out on top with a 21-18 victory over North Forsyth last Thursday.

Grant Carter, a running back who's been converted to quarterback, delivered the bulk of the offense for Reagan. Carter scored twice to lead the way. The Raiders added what proved to be the final margin of victory when the defense scored on a

Vikings fumble near the end of the first half.

“This was a great team win,” said Coach Willie Quick of Reagan, whose team is 1-2. “Our people played like they wanted it more. “We'll be in good shape as long as they continue to buy into the system and remain coachable.”

Initially, this game had all the makings of a shoot-out. The contest was never tied, but there were five lead changes – all in the first half.

The Raiders put together a 60-yard scoring drive midway through the first

quarter. Carter scored on a quarterback sneak and Alex Stasinski kicked the extra point for a 7-0 lead.

The tenor of the game changed later in the quarter when North Forsyth recovered a fumble on the Raiders' one-yard line.

Two plays later, quarterback Ronald Jackson scored on short plunge and then ran for the PAT to put his team in front, 87.

The Vikings lead lasted all of 14 seconds. On the ensuing kickoff, Carter started up the middle, then found a seam on the left side and ran 72 yards for a touchdown.

Reagan regained the lead at 13-8, but not for long.

North Forsyth responded with a quickstrike drive at about the eight-minute mark of the second quarter. Jackson completed passes to Mizell Hall (27 yards) and Chandler Miller (20 yards) to put the ball on Reagan's 4-yard line. On the next play, Khalil Baker scored on a run off right tackle, Jackson ran for the PAT and the Vikings went back on top, 16-13.

Reagan regained the lead for good late

“Against West Forsyth, we didn't take advantage of all the opportunities we had on offense. Our defense was in position to make plays, but didn't.

“We just couldn't come up with stops when we really needed to – especially against the run. I give West Forsyth the credit. They made more plays than we did.

But I'm confident that we'll show improvement over the course of the season.”

The Eagles offense operates efficiently thanks to a relatively young offensive line.

Sophomores Van Boozer and Tristan Look, along with freshmen Caleb Howell and Jesse Ross have played well

up front during the early weeks of the season.

At the skill positions, East Forsyth is in good shape. Brandon Bullins and Jordan Barrett showed signs of emerging as a lethal pass-and-catch combination against the Titans. Bullins threw a pair of scoring passes of 50 and 40 yards to Barrett.

Jaelon Maxie and Christian Grubbs, who rushed for one touchdown apiece, could rank among the area's most productive running back tandems by season's end.

East Forsyth looking to regroup after loss

BY CRAIG T. GREENLEE FOR THE CHRONICLE

The strength of East Forsyth's junior varsity is its high-octane offense. The Eagles have no problems putting points on the scoreboard. So far, they're averaging 34.5 points per game.

Defensively, it's been a mixed bag.

East Forsyth held steady in beating Reynolds 36-12 in the season opener two weeks ago. But the end result was very different in a 41-33 loss to West Forsyth last week.

in the closing minutes of the first half. Oddly, it all started with a turnover. The Raiders had a drive going, but North Forsyth intercepted a pass near its goal line to end that threat.

On the first play from scrimmage after the interception, North Forsyth fumbled and Owen Agee of Reagan scooped up the loose ball and scored. At the half, it was 21-16 in the Raiders favor.

Carver beat Mount Tabor 6-0 last week to improve its record to 2-1.

Bullins, however, was forced to leave the West Forsyth game because of an injury he suffered in the fourth quarter. Barrett stepped in as Bullins' replacement and kept the flow of the offense going.

Barrett threw a 35-yard touchdown pass to Jarel Henry and ran for a twopoint conversion.

Trailing 34-33 in the fourth, the Eagles put together a promising scoring drive. But all thoughts of a late-game comeback ended when East Forsyth failed to convert on fourth down at the West Forsyth 40-yard line.

The combination of penalties and missed assignments on crucial downs, proved to be too much for the Eagles to overcome.

“This was a back-andforth game,” said Horton.

“Effort-wise, I'm pleased with what I'm seeing. But we have to get better at executing what we do. We have to be more consistent on both sides of the football.”

however, prevented both teams from putting more points on the board.

North Forsyth made it a 3point game in the third quarter when Benjamin Harris sacked Ryan Ayers in the end zone for a safety.

The Vikings potential gamewinning drive fell short when the Raiders defense produced a sack on third down and forced a punt with 3:35 remaining in the contest. With a three-point lead and Carter picking up a crucial first down on third-and-short yardage, Reagan maintained possession and ran out the clock.

“We want the ball in Grant's hands as much as possible,” said Quick.

For most of the game, neither team could fully impose its will on the other.

The Yellowjackets made a full commitment to run the ball and attempted only four passes for the entire game.

The outcome wasn't determined until the final four minutes of play. Boyce scored the game's only

Pierce Alston keyed Reagan's defense as a disruptive factor at nose tackle. The top defensive performers for the Vikings were Aaron Worthy and Antonio Mims.

Even though North Forsyth is 0-2, the current record isn't a true reflection of how well it has played so far this season. The Vikings lost both games by a total of four points.

In spite of the slow start, Coach David Hill isn't complaining. A year ago, North Forsyth's JV dropped its first two games, but regrouped in time to post the best record in the Mid-Piedmont 3-A Conference.

“With this being my second year, the players have a better understanding of our system,” said Winfield. “And they know what my expectations are.

were at this time last year, I feel we're further along.

“Still, there are areas we must continue to improve on, but at the same time, we continue to show progress. We're going into every game with the idea that we have something to prove.”

SPeCIAL TO THe CHRONICLe

PeMBROKe – Winston-Salem State University struck first, but allowed 17 unanswered points, as the Rams dropped their season opener, 17-7 to the UNC Pembroke Braves at Grace P. Johnson Stadium in Pembroke.

Played in front of a crowd of 7,357 standing room only fans on a hot and muggy night, the WSSU Rams would take the opening kick, and would use a solid mix of run and pass to navigate down the field on 10 plays covering 75 yards, as Rod Tinsley Jr. would find an open Anthony Rook for a 12-yard scoring strike.

Will Johnson would convert the PAT attempt to give WSSU an earl y7 7-0 lead.

The UNC Pembroke Braves would answer in the second quarter, when Patrick O’Brien would find

an open BJ Bunn for a 21 yard score to tie the game at 7-7.

The Braves Matt Davis would convert on a 24 yard field goal with 2:30 left before the half, capping a 15 play, 78 yard drive to take a 10-7 lead into halftime.

UNCP would take the second half kickoff and drive down the field for another score, this time a one yard run from Cliff Jones to take a commanding 17-7 lead early in the third quarter.

Winston-Salem State could not find any consistency on the offensive side of the ball to maintain any drives and found their three drives of the quarter ending with punts.

WSSU had one last chance late to put points on the scoreboard, but on 4th and 26, Tinsley’s pass to Marcel Caver Jr. was overthrown, ending any chance the Rams had of making a late comeback.

UNCP outgained the Rams 280 to 235 on the night, and WSSU also shot itself in the foot with nine penalties for 80 yards.

Offensively, WSSU was led in rushing by Tyree Massey, who finished with 12 carries for 58 yards, while Kerrion Moore had 2 carries for 13 yards.

Rod Tinsley Jr., getting his first collegiate start, finished 23 of 35 with one interception for 195 yards and one touchdown.

Marcel Caver Jr. had eight catches to lead the

Rams in receiving, racking up 90 yards on those receptions. Rashan Williams added four catches for 27 yards, and Anthony Rook and William Belcher had three catches each. Rook hauled in one touchdown catch and finished with 20 receiving yards while Belcher added 19 yards.

Defensively, the Rams were led by PJ Clyburn, who finished with a game high tying eight tackles, including one tackle for a loss. Kailan Chavis and Vernon Brandon each fin-

ished with six tackles and one pass breakup each.

James Bullock and Michael Bloomfield each had five tackles, with Bullock also picking up ½ tackle for a loss, and Bloomfield added one sack and one tackle for a loss. Five different Ram players finished with three tackles each, and four Rams had two tackles apiece on the evening.

Jarell Bright picked up a sack, and Demeeko Jones Jr had a fumble recovery on special teams for WSSU. Will Johnson finished the night with a 37.4 yards per punt average on seven punts, with a long of 46 yards and dropping four punts inside the 20 yard line.

“We are disappointed, but this is just the first game. We are going to love up our guys, and get them ready for our next game.

Valdosta State will be a tough opponent, so we have to regroup and get

“We’ll go back to work, and the games don’t get any easier,” Boulware said.

“We have our toughest game coming up because it’s our next game.”

Winston-Salem State University will continue its early season road campaign, with a “home” game, as the Rams will take on powerhouse Valdosta State in the Cobb County Clash at Mceachern High School.

A member of the Pfafftown Packers finds running room in the Titans defense on Saturday, Sept. 5 at Northwest Middle School.

By TeVIN STINSON THe CHRONICLe

The members of the Pfafftown Packers Jr. Midget squad flexed their muscle over the weekend when they took on the Lewisville Titans.

The American Football League matchup was held at Northwest Middle School, home of the Packers for over 10 years.

The Packers got things started on defense. On the opening drive, Titans quarterback ethan Russell was sacked in the backfield on fourth down. The Packers took over inside their own 15 yard line following the turnover on downs.

The turnover turned into quick points for the Packers.

Daniel Moyer Jr. found running room on the right side of the Titans defense for the first score of the day. Jordan Timmons added the extra point for the Packers putting them ahead 7-0.

After a quick three plays, the Titans offense was unable to gain a first down and was forced to punt.

and raced into the end zone. Woods added the extra point as well, pushing the Packers’ lead to 14.

The Titans defense didn’t seem to have a answer for the Packers’ rushing attack. By the end of the first quarter, the Packers had added two more touchdowns, one by G’Mone Wilson and another by Jordan Timmons.

The Packers added a number of touchdowns in the second quarter as well. Going into halftime, the score was 440.

Picking up where they left off, the Packers continued to dominate the Titans in the second half.

Jeremiah Jackson caught the second half kickoff and went 60 yards seemingly untouched into the end zone for another Packer touchdown.

Although it was a very long day for Titans head coach Greg Atwood, he said he was proud of the way his team fought even when they got down early.

“We did not give up,” said Atwood. “It’s easy to quit especially when you’re losing, but our guys didn’t give up and fought until the end.”

A number of Atwood’s players had some standout plays for the Titans, including: Andrew Danley, ethan

An assistant coach from the Titans said he believes the team has what it takes to turn the season around.

Packers head coach Gary Warren was pleased with the way his team played, but said the team still had a number of mental mistakes that will be corrected as the season goes on.

“The team played well today, but we have to cut down on our mental mistakes,” said Warren. “Those mistakes could hurt us in the future if we don’t correct it now.”

Key performers for the Packers include Rahkiem Morris, Jashauwyne Stephens, Antwan Spring Jr., and Jaylon Weathers.

The Pfafftown Packers and the Lewisville Titans are both members of the Piedmont youth Football and Cheer League, a member of the American youth Football organization. The Jr. Midget division is for boys and girls between ages 11-13. The division also has a set weight limit of 155 pounds.

Born Again Free Church holds first anniversary after founder dies Wife leads the church’s 35th anniversary celebration

BY TIMOTHY RAMSEY FOR THE CHRONICLE

On Sunday, Sept. 6, the Born Again Free Church celebrated its 35th anniversary at 741 Moravia St. in Winston Salem. This year’s anniversary is the first since the passing of church founder Apostle Lindsey W. Adams. His wife, Bishop Barbara Adams, now presides over the congregation.

Apostle Adams, born in Chocowinity, N.C., on Jan. 29, 1941, started his first church in the kitchen of his home with his wife and three children in Wendell, N.C. He moved to his first building in Garner in 1980. Four years

later, Apostle Adams moved his family to Winston Salem, following the will of God, the church history says.

In September 1992, they moved into their current location in Winston Salem. In addition to the Winston-Salem location, the Born Again Free Church has a location in Roseboro as well as a church in Thomasville.

The church congregates at the Thomasville location on 1st and 3rd Sundays and the Winston-Salem location on the 2nd and 4th Sundays. The church sends a team to the Roseboro location on the 1st and 3rd Sundays of every month because this location does not have any active See Born Again on B6

The speaker of the evening, Evangelist Emma D. Tate, associate minister of Friendship Missionary Baptist Church, Thomasville, ministered a powerful word to the ladies. She encouraged them that regardless of what they were going through, God‘s been just that good. Even through all walks of life, God is good. “The Holy Spirit was indeed in the ballroom that evening,” Hoover said.

The testimonies from the ladies were heartwarming.

During the evening, the younger generation of ladies were all called up, and the evangelist, ministers and elders in attendance came up and prayed for the young ladies.

Whatever was shared was done voluntarily. These believers prayed for each other but they went even further. Careful examination of the Scripture revealed a genuine love and sense of well being for the community of faith. Doesn’t that sound like Jesus?

Lesson: Luke records two examples of sharing in our text today. Barnabas, a Levite sold some land and brings the money to the apostles so that all in the fellowship

The Salvation Army said in a statement.

Entertainment and emcee duties were handled by rising Nashville star Damien Horne, a Hickory native who grew up with the Boys and Girls Clubs as a member, employee and now leader of a worship group.

By submitting your bid, you agree that the "full purchase price" shall be defined as the amount of bid plus the Trustee's commission as defined in the subject Deed of Trust plus the costs of the action, unless the Trustee agrees otherwise. For example, if the amount of bid is $20,000.00 and the trustee's commission is defined in the subject Deed of Trust as 5% of the gross proceeds of the sale, then the "full purchase price" shall equal $21,000.00 plus the costs of the action. A tender of Deed shall be defined as a letter from the Trustee to the successful bidder offering to record the Deed upon receipt of full purchase price as described herein and listed in said letter. If the trustee is unable to convey title to this property for any reason such as a bankruptcy filing, the sole remedy of the successful bidder is the return of the deposit. As to any manufactured home, the following shall apply: Any not considered real property is being foreclosed pursuant to N.C.G.S. §25-9-604, if necessary; there is no warranty that any is actually located on the subject tract; and there is no warranty given by the Substitute Trustee as to whether said home is real property or personal property. The sale will be made subject to all prior liens, unpaid taxes, assessments, restrictions and easements of record, if any.

ADDITIONAL NOTICE: Take notice that an order for possession of the property may be issued pursuant to G.S. 45-21.29 in favor of the purchaser and against the party or parties in possession by the clerk of superior court of the county in which the property is sold.

Take further notice that any person who occupies the property pursuant to a rental agreement entered into or renewed on or after October 1, 2007, may, after receiving the notice of sale, terminate the rental agreement upon 10 days' written notice to the landlord. The notice shall also state that upon termination of a rental agreement, the tenant is liable for rent due under the rental agreement prorated to the effective date of the termination.

This the 10th day of July, 2015.
