EDITOR’S NOTEBOOK

Hard news at no cost to you, and no matter the cost to us.

It’s the time of year when we sit out there whenever we can: Mornings for coffee in the cool shadows, workfrom-home bouts

by Brian Clarey made a bit more tolerable for being set in the outdoors, evenings with the lights turned on, a settling dusk, the first fireflies of the season.

We’ve been in our home for almost 18 years, our purchase date timed impeccably to coincide with the real estate implosion of 2008, when value was just starting to build.

We were planning on staying a couple years. We used the word “flip.” A timeline was set. And yet here we are.

Once we decided to stay here, the home improvements came at a steady pace, escalating dramatically after my wife discovered the Property Brothers and their ilk: a new roof, heat pump and HVAC; ceramic tiles and two rounds of flooring; many, many coats of paint on every single room in the house, plus the shutters, the front door and the garage; new switchplates and lighting fixtures, a new hot-water heater, new stainless appliances and hood and not one but two new garbage disposals.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK

Their lawyer says they were injured because they had to bring a lawsuit. Does that make any sense?

There’s more, I can assure you, but we’re running out of space here so I’ll get to the point.

The plan came together years ago: a family friend willing to trade some concrete work for professional services brought one truck and three workers and within a day and a half transformed the dinky, 10-by-10 concrete lozenge that passed for a patio behind our mass-produced tract home into an outdoor living space bigger than any room in the house.

It happened so fast we didn’t even have time to carve our initials in it.

The concrete quickly became part of our home life: holidays and dinners, poker games and small-scale fireworks experiments, summer drinks and autumn fires.

And the concrete itself has become beneficiary of the sort of home-improvement projects that bring such a gleam to my wife’s eye. Fencing. Furniture. Stain.

Unlike the HVAC, the garbage disposal(s) and the stainless-steel appliances, it relies on ancient technology, relatively unchanged for 3,000 years. There’s not much to concrete itself, just sand and water bound by a thing so pure of purpose that an entire concept is named for it: cement.

That’s the thing that holds it all together.

No kids in bars

FILE PHOTO

I was at a downtown brewery in Greensboro for just a few minutes a couple weeks ago, and as I made my way through the crowd, I saw a grown, full-bearded man sitting criss-cross-applesauce on the concrete floor, underneath a table. He was swigging mightily from a pint of house brew, and also trying to engage his toddler in the coloring book splayed out before them, crayons scattering like wayward cats. At the table, with one hand on a stroller which contained yet another child, the woman I perceived to be his partner wore the thousand-yard stare that all parents of young children know.

And I thought to myself, They would be having a better time if they had gotten a sitter.

My argument against kids in bars — I include breweries in this category — has nothing to do with the kids and their exposure to an environment where (gasp!) people often get hammered. My father used to bring me to bars all the time when I was a kid. Of course, he was an alcoholic and I turned out to be one, too. But it’s also where I got really good at pinball and pool.

Likewise, it would be incredibly hypocritical of me to suggest that parents shouldn’t drink in front of their children. But as someone who knows quite a bit about both drinking and parenting, I’ll say that they should be mixed with caution, like tequila and milk.

Because no matter how much a brewery tries to turn itself into a daycare, it takes some pretty serious rationalizing for parents to convince themselves they’re there for the kids.

There are way better venues for family-friendly entertainment. I mean, yeah, there’s cornhole but that doesn’t make it a Six Flags. Most kids would rather be at a tramp park, which is what I call trampoline parks, or a children’s museum, or, hey, how about setting up the cornhole in the backyard?

As for drinking, I remember that it was a lot more fun when you didn’t bring the kids along.

5. Food My favorite part of any festival has got to be the food. And even more so when it’s an Asian festival. Asian food has a lot of roots in street food so you know that there’s going to be some good shit when you attend a big event like this, and the Korean Festival did not disappoint. Unfortunately, some of the vendors had actually run out of items by the time I got to them. Still, attendees could choose from about half a dozen stalls selling items like bibimbap, cup noodles, seafood pajeon, japchae (which I unfortunately missed), kimchi tuna buns and more.

I guess there’s always next year. And for those that can’t wait, try any of the Korean joints in town. They’re pretty damn good.

Posters with the boys’ faces and logo flew from several of the vendors tents. The boy band, which formed in 2013, has grown immensely in popularity over the years, so much so that Time included them on their list of 100 most influential people of 2019. According to a BBC article, along with Ariana Grande and Drake, BTS boosted global music sales to $19 billion in 2018. Now that I think about it, it’s strange that there weren’t more BTS tents there.

3. Super G Mart and H Mart As a longtime resident of Greensboro and North Carolina as a whole, I pretty much know the best Asian grocery stores to go to in any given major city. In Greensboro for example, we’ve got Li Ming’s on Gate City and then Super G, which most people seem to prefer, on Market. A few years ago, H Mart opened in Cary, complete with a decked-out food court. At this year’s Korean Festival, both G and H Mart acted as sponsors, which makes sense given that most Asians I know shop at one or both. And if you haven’t been to either, what are you doing?

When I finally tracked down the vendor selling them, I found an older Asian couple behind the table, convincing anyone who would stop to spend seven bucks on the hat. Like one of my Asian acquaintances at the festival noted, I guess as long as it’s Asian people profiting off it and not white folks, it’s fine?

Girls and boys of all ages, mostly teenagers though, twisted and shouted as a DJ, who was obscured by the throng of dancers, led them in rhythm. K-pop dance beats melded into each other until “Gangnam Style” began blasting through the speakers, causing others on the outskirts of the crowd to lift up their arms and gallop along to the 2012 anthem. Later in the day, traditional Korean dancers took the stage but not before a rapper performed, repeatedly shouting at the audience, “Who got the swag?”

UDC’s quest to restore Confederate monument stumbles

by Jordan Green A North Carolina Superior Court judge heard arguments on Tuesday for why he should or shouldn’t allow a United Daughters of the Confederacy lawsuit seeking to restore the Confederate monument in downtown WinstonSalem to go forward, but made no decision.

The city of Winston-Salem, Forsyth County and the private entity that owns the location of the former monument argued that United Daughters of the Confederacy doesn’t have standing to bring the suit. Among other arguments, they said the nonprofit wasn’t injured by the city’s decision to remove the monument last month.

But James Davis, the lawyer representing the plaintiffs, portrayed his client as an aggrieved victim pushed beyond the bounds of toleration.

“The United Daughters of the Confederacy was injured by the cost of having to bring this action,” Davis told Superior Court Judge Eric Morgan. “If they hadn’t been brought into this, they wouldn’t have had to spend money to propound this case.”

Later he added, “If you invite me to a fight, I have the right to defend myself.

How can you say I’m not the injured party when you have your knuckles raised? The United Daughters of the Confederacy said they were not gonna be bullied. Their ire was got up and they’ve filed a complaint.”

Lawyers for the three defendants expressed various levels of exasperation.

“Their lawyer says they were injured because they had to bring a lawsuit,” Forsyth County Attorney Gordon Watkins said. “Does that make any sense?”

“We were sued,” he added. “We did not seek to become part of this lawsuit.”

Davis reminded the judge that the United Daughters of the Confederacy has made no claim to own the monument.

“All we’re asking the court to do is make a judicial determination as to who owns the monument,” he said.

James Wilson, another lawyer for the plaintiffs, told the judge it was “suspicious” that the county has no record of who owns the statue, which was dedicated on the grounds of the old Forsyth County Courthouse in 1905.

A finding that the United Daughters of the Confederacy owns the monument would open the door for the them

to pursue a claim that their due process rights were violated when the city declared the monument a public nuisance and removed it. The plaintiffs have a pending motion for preliminary injunction to seek a restraining order against the city, but Judge Morgan heard only the motions for dismissal by the three defendants on Tuesday.

Alternately, were a judge to find that the county owned the statue, the organization would likely claim that the city’s action violated a 2015 law prohibiting removal of monuments from public property. But even that prospect presents a long and winding road for the plaintiffs: The county sold the property to Winston Courthouse LLC, an ownership entity set up by Richmond, Va.-based Clachan Properties to develop luxury apartments, in 2014. The plaintiffs would somehow have to make the case that the county retained ownership of the monument, or an easement of some sort, even while transferring ownership of the land on which it sits.

“The key point is that the land is our land,” said Jodi Hildebran, a lawyer who represents Winston Courthouse LLC. “It is not public property.”

Hildebran also sought to have the case dismissed on a technicality. She said the James B. Gordon Chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy, which reportedly raised money to erect the monument, is no longer registered as a legal corporation. The United Daughters of the Confederacy North Carolina Division, whose president Sara Powell attended the hearing, was formed in 1992, according to corporate records.

“I haven’t seen anything that links this entity to the entity that raised the money back in 1905,” Hildebran said.

Davis responded that the James B. Gordon Chapter is a “subsidiary” of the North Carolina Division, and that even though the two organizations might not have identical membership rosters, they share the same set of bylaws.

The lawyers for the two sides also debated whether the Confederate monument is “personal property” or a “fixture.”

Arguing for the United Daughters of the Confederacy, Davis cited an 1854 case in which the New York State court ruled in favor of a sculptor who argued that a sundial on his property was a fixture. But Watkins cited a 1978 case

A Forsyth County Superior Court judge has yet to rule on whether the United Daughters of the JORDAN Confederacy has standing to sue the city of Winston-Salem over the removal of the Confederate GREEN monument.

decided by the North Carolina Supreme Court finding that a gasoline distributor could remove its pumps from a gas station after the new owner opted to stop buying its product.

The irony was not lost on the defense attorneys that in this case the argument is over property that the land owner doesn’t want.

“Usually, it’s something of value, and the owner is arguing, ‘No, no, no, that belongs to us,’” Hildebran said. “In this case, we don’t want it.”

None of the parties dispute that the deed transferring ownership from the county to the new owners of the Old Forsyth County Courthouse excludes the Confederate monument from the sale. Hildebran suggested that whether the courts rule that the Confederate monument is “personal property” or a “fixture,” the United Daughters of the Confederacy’s mission to restore the monument to its old location is doomed to fail.

“When somebody doesn’t sell a fixture, their remedy is they get to come and take it back,” she said.

Citing contemporaneous newspaper accounts, Winston-Salem City Attorney Angela Carmon argued that by all accounts the monument was erected with permission from the county and that there is no evidence the county claimed ownership.

“Even if you say the county owns the monument or the Daughters owns the monument, it’s irrelevant because it was placed on the county property with permission, and then the permission was withdrawn,” she said. “The new owners said, ‘Come and get it.’”

Judge Morgan gave no indication of when he might rule on the motions to dismiss, saying that the case law cited by the lawyers was “voluminous,” and he wants to take the time to review it.

Sara Powell, president of the United Daughters of the Confederacy North Carolina Division, declined to comment after the hearing on Tuesday.

The judge continued motions to quash subpoenas filed by the United Daughters of the Confederacy to compel testimony from Miranda Jones, an antiracist activ-

According to a district press release sent out on Feb. 28, the CTE programs were scheduled to launch during the 2019-20 school year beginning with ninth graders. Now, with the school board voting to divert some of the money to Gateway, it is unclear which or when the six programs will launch.

Julius Monk, the executive director of school facilities, said the county would need the funding now to get started on designing, building and repairing infrastructure to make many of the CTE programs possible for 2020.

“Even doing all of this within a year is gonna be really aggressive,” Monk said during Tuesday’s meeting. “But every month that we’re not doing something at these sites is gonna make it more challenging.”

School board member Byron Gladden, who represents District 7, asked Superintendent Sharon Contreras and his fellow board members multiple times over the course of the evening to support his plan to use projected remaining funds from repairs at High Point Central

After a marathon meeting on Tuesday evening that lasted more than four hours, the Guilford County school board passed a motion 7-2 to fund repairs for the Gateway Education Center, a school for students with significant disabilities, using funds originally set aside for new career and technical education academies.

The move comes just weeks after parents of Gateway students rallied and spoke out against a proposal to close the school when the district found issues such as water leaks, pest control, raw sewage and more. The funding for Gateway repairs, which includes fixing the roof and windows, would cost about $1.9 million according to a recent inspection and would be taken from the $7.1 million that had been set aside to create six new career and technical education, or CTE, programs in schools like Smith High School and Western Guilford High School.

The substitute motion, which was made by at-large board member Winston McGregor, would use whatever funds remained from repairing Gateway to pay for whichever CTE academies the board prioritizes before or during its May 14 meeting. The board will then send their prioritizations to the county commissioners who are scheduled meet on May 16. Everyone except for board Chair Deena Hayes and Vice Chair Dianne Bellamy-Small voted to pass the motion to repair Gateway using some of the $7.1 million.

Last month, the Guilford County Commission voted to delay the passage of funding for the six new CTE programs after Gateway parents pleaded with them to fix their schools.

On Tuesday evening, dozens of parents — many of whom spoke out during the April 18 county commission meeting and at several school board meetings leading up the latest one — took to the stand once again to voice their concerns about the future of Gateway.

“Gateway is our normal,” said Stephanie Garrett, whose daughter has gone to the specialized school for the past 11 years. “It is our routine and it is our community.”

More than half of the room was filled with rows of seated parents and advocates for Gateway. Still, others who spoke during the public comment periods asked for the board to keep the initial funding that had been set aside for the proposed CTE programs at Smith High

“There’s an opportunity for us to have both,” Gladden said. “This is not going a conventional route.”

Angie Henry, chief financial officer for Guilford County Schools, pushed back on Gladden’s plan.

“I think the best thing to do would be to identify the projects that you want to be sure that you open as scheduled,” Henry said. “I think you need to prioritize how you want to spend the $7.1 million. I don’t think you can start talking about how you want to spend the additional $2 million at this point until you know for sure it’s available.”

Board member Pat Tillman, who represents District 3, said that if he had to pick from the proposed CTE academies, he would prioritize the Academy at Smith High School and then Western Guilford High School based on appli-

cant numbers and the fact that Western currently has successful CTE programs.

Bellamy-Small, who represents District 1, opposed Tillman’s prioritization, saying that High Point schools would be getting shortchanged in that order.

“This is problematic,” Bellamy-Small said. “You cannot leave High Point out… This is not a good process and I can’t agree to this process….”

In addition to parents of Gateway students, parents of students at Page High School and Hampton Elementary also spoke out during Tuesday’s meeting.

Several parents advocated for funds to renovate Page’s cafeteria to accommodate more students while a few Hampton parents advocated for keeping the elementary school open. Superintendent Contreras made the recommendation earlier this month to close the school based on the limited number of students that said they would be returning after they were relocated in the aftermath of the April 2018 tornado.

As the dozens of parents listened to the board members deliberate on what

to do about Gateway and CTE funding, a few shouted angrily at the members to do their jobs and almost got escorted out of the room.

Earlier in the evening, Hayes had explained that figuring out which schools to fund was complicated.

“This is a multipronged problem,” she said.

Lakeisha Williams, a mother with a child at Gateway as well as those in high school who would benefit from CTE programs, spoke passionately during one of the public comment periods, urging parents to remain patient and work with, not against the board, to come to a solution.

“We can no longer allow anyone to make this be a fight against the board and the parents, or white and black, rich and poor,” said Williams as she teared up. “We’re all in this together for our kids…. We can’t move forward with division…. We can’t be divided. We can’t get anywhere with that…. Can we just work together? Can we just work together and be on the same team?”

ist who has played a prominent role in public demonstrations by Hate Out of Winston calling for removal of the monument.

The subpoena hints at a legal strategy by the United Daughters of the Confederacy to promote a theory that the city conspired with activists to manufacture a crisis that would justify removing the statue.

Subpoenas issued to Jones, along with Mayor Allen Joines and Assistant City Manager, request that they appear in court to testify and produce “personal notes, messages, memoranda, text messages and emails, letters and any other correspondence pertaining to the Confederate monument,” over a period of seven years. Miranda Jones declined through her lawyer to comment on Tuesday.

The United Daughters of the Confederacy had also sought to disqualify Carmon from representing the city in the matter.

The organization said in a motion filed in March that “testimony sought from attorney Carmon relates to the development and collection of information to support defendant city’s strategy to identify plaintiff as the designated owner of the Confederate monument, failure to direct the investigation into the act of vandalism performed at the location of the Confederate monument, and the defendant city’s failure to direct law enforcement to disperse individuals gathered on the streets of Winston-Salem without a permit.” The motion also said the organization wanted Carmon to identify “the party or parties she referenced in her statement who uttered threats of civil unrest or damage to the Confederate monument.”

Carmon said in a filing responding to the motion that she has “no direct or personal knowledge of any matters related to plaintiffs’ lawsuit other than those I have learned during the course of my legal representation of the city.

The matters of which I have direct and personal knowledge are protected by the attorney-client privilege.”

John Rogers of Hate Out of Winston said members of the group showed for the hearing to support Jones, against what he called an attempt by the United Daughters of the Confederacy “to harass and conduct a fishing expedition,” and to follow up to ensure that the city and the private owner of the Old Forsyth Courthouse follow through on their commitment to keep the monument down.

that mirrors the strategy of alleged white-power terrorists like Christopher Hasson, the Coast Guard lieutenant arrested for drugs in February while plotting to instigate a race war that he hoped would lead to the creation of a white “homeland.” In a 2017 manifesto uncovered by FBI investigators, Hasson discussed carrying out biological attacks, coupled with a bombing and sniping campaign, and also targeted killings of professors, politicians, judges and journalists. But he also sought to exploit violence as a viral phenomenon, writing, “During unrest target both sides to increase tension. In other words provoke gov/police to over reach which should help escalate violence. BLM [Black Lives Matter] protests or other left crap would be ideal to incite to violence.”

In the aftermath of Brenton Tarrant’s heinous attack in Christchurch in March, anonymous users on the social media platform Gab — a haven for white power extremists — posited that an escalation beyond “lone wolf” attacks was required to maintain the momentum, while also eagerly anticipating retaliation.

“It’s only begun, eventually the tit-for-tat counter-attacks won’t be able to be swept under the rug and a repeating, escalating cycle will begin,” crowed a user named Ó Súilleabháin (whose handle @GeorgeRockwellLovesYou pays homage to the late American Nazi Party leader). “There is no de-escalation at this point, it’s inevitable.”

According to the FBI investigator on Mark Domingo’s tail, he wrote on March 3: “America needs another vegas event tbh something to kick off civil unrest […] and its not about winning the civil war its about weakening america give them a taste of the terror they so gladly spread all over the world.”

It’s probably wise to recognize that just because an assortment of madmen reach the same conclusions, it doesn’t mean they’re knowingly colluding with one another.

The painful truth is it’s hard to know where the next attack will come from or what will motivate it.

We don’t really know anything yet about what caused Trystan Terrell, a 22-year-old student, to walk into a classroom in the Kennedy Building on the campus of UNC-Charlotte and start shooting at about 5:45 p.m. on Tuesday, the last day of classes.

by Jordan Green We do know that he lived in Novel NoDa, an upscale and trendy apartment complex.

We know that his voter registration indicates that he’s white and registered as a Libertarian. On Wednesday morning, Chancellor Philip Dubois identified the two students who were killed as Ellis Parlier, 19, and Riley Howell, 21. Voting records indicate Parlier is white, while Howell’s race is unknown. Among four others who were wounded in the shooting, local media has identified Drew Pescaro, a member of the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity originally from Massachusetts. Pescaro was released from the hospital on Tuesday night.

The day opened with reports that the FBI had arrested another young man on the other side of the country who was planning to carry out an attack with the intent of causing mass casualties. According to an unsealed affidavit by FBI Special Agent Tasha Coolidge, Mark Steven Domingo, a US Army veteran with combat experience in Afghanistan, purchased several hundred nails at a home improvement store in Los Angeles and gave them to an undercover agent whom he believed to be a collaborator to manufacture an explosive device intended for use in an upcoming attack.

According to the affidavit, Domingo, a convert to Islam, was angered by the March 13 shootings at two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand, which took the lives of 50 people, and wrote on social media: “I feel like I should make a christians [sic] life miserable tomorrow for our fallen bros n sis in new Zealand […] maybe a jews life idk […] they shed our blood […] no Muslim should have to experience this, a message needs to be sent.”

Domingo reportedly mused that he could gun down Jews as they walked from a distant parking lot to worship at a local synagogue. Jews would be an odd target, considering that the perpetrators of both the Christchurch mosque shooting and the October 2018 Pittsburgh synagogue shooting were motivated by white-power ideology fueled by a false assertion that white people are the victims of genocide. The linkage between Islamophobia and antiSemitism was made abundantly clear by revelations that the shooter who killed a woman during services at the Chabad of Poway synagogue on April 27 was inspired by both the Christchurch and Pittsburgh shootings, and had also recently set fire to a mosque.

The notion that anti-Semitism, Islamophobia and other hatreds spring from the same fascist ideology seems to have escaped Domingo, who is reported to have variously contemplated attacks on homeless people, police officers and white nationalists. Yet chillingly, the affidavit sworn by Agent Coolidge suggests that Domingo harbored a preoccupation with revolutionary chaos and mutual escalation

The hubbub over the renaming of the Dixie Classic Fair — a Forsyth autumnal tradition for 135 years — hinges mostly on procedure.

It came up at a Winston-Salem City Council meeting in April, a request issued by speakers from the floor, which is not usually in itself a catalyst for direct government action.

The notion caught hold, though, and was quickly designated as a Thing to be Studied and Discussed.

But as the Fair Planning Committee started booking community meetings last week, they heard from council that the name change had been upgraded to something that is Going to Happen, without the benefit of public discussion or vote.

It’s the way of our institutions to slow-walk social change — studies and committees are often where good intentions go to die — but in so many facets of modern American life, particularly in the South, we are in the process of rooting out indefensible positions, unworthy monuments and alternate versions of history.

Whatever the origins of the word Dixie — the MasonDixon Line, the Creole 10-spot, that stupid song — it must be acknowledged that in itself it has negative connotations for black people, brown people and others “not from around here.”

At the very least, it’s bad marketing, potentially alienating 40 percent of the city for one of its most beloved traditions, on property maintained and enjoyed by city money.

Surely, we can come up with a name that’s not so plantation-y. But before we do, everybody will get their chance to sound off — the next committee meeting is scheduled for May 7, 6 p.m. at the Fairgrounds. And then we’ll put the word “Dixie” in the same place we’ll stash that Confederate Monument: history’s footnotes.

Understand that it’s inevitable.

One of the many, many online commenters pointed out that her mother was named Dixie, which she felt should vouch for the inoffensive nature of the word. We remind her that for a long time in this country, people used to be named “Dick.” But not anymore, because the word has come to mean something else.

CULTURE UNCSA’s creative class takes spotlight in senior showcase

ballerina pirouettes not a moment’s glance from a wall dripping with photos of prosthetic gore, but a wig crafter nearby pays no mind and the room hums with expressions of awe and congratulations.

For the second year, the School of Design and Production at UNC School of the Arts is opening senior portfolio reviews to the public at Hanesbrands Theatre in downtown Winston-Salem where more than 70 candidates for bachelor and master of fine arts degrees present their handiwork, transporting the behind-the-scenes to front and center.

Wig and makeup design artist Nathalie Eidt does not care for gore; during her fourth year, she focused on expanding her editorial portfolio in anticipation of pursuing freelance work in Los Angeles. Editorial makeup is more concerned with telling a story, eliciting an emotional state or interpreting fashion than selling products.

“I like editorial makeup design because you can push the boundaries of creativity a lot more; you’re able to go further with looks than you could in a film or theater setting,” she says. “You can also invent looks that only look good for that moment — sometimes, eye shadow creases; a lip will smudge.”

Her portrait exhibit shows range, from a dreamy design featuring golden flower petals fixed beside flashes of sapphire eyeshadow to a bold-lipped duo sheathed by iridescent cellophane.

Scenic designer Manika Gupta’s MFA portfolio looks a bit different: she’s propped several scaled-down stage models next to a table brimming with sketches and provisional paint samples for her theoretical rendering of the ballet La Bayadere, in which illusory background dancers, translucent figures lit from behind, create a hallucination scene.

“We are taught, whatever you are putting in a model or designing, every bit should have a meaning,” Gupta says.

“It’s about questioning every choice throughout your process.”

Over the last four years, Jada Hutchinson’s technical lighting expertise translated her peers’ concepts to the stage, whether through welding or physically loading dozens of lights per production.

Tonight, she stands by a spread of thick three-ring binders holding precious checklists, production schedules and

That’s when she reached out to Thompson.

“We love our clients and we care about them…our clients are virtually all undiagnosed PTSD,” Thompson says. “That’s the way it is for refugees…. It’s very likely that they saw, that they were part of violence and persecution…. Their trauma could have been very intense.”

This week’s class marks the halfway point for the series. The first class took place on April 9 and about 20 women came to participate. Many of the women are Muslim and wear headscarves while they practice. Others are from Spanish-speaking countries or from Asia. Flynn, who speaks Arabic, translates the cues during the classes.

“People have so taken to it and it has really been wonderful,” she says.

In addition to a teacher who volunteers to lead the class, Flynn also organizes volunteers to provide childcare for the mothers during the class and asks some of her students to come practice alongside the women to make them feel comfortable and to get to know them.

he plastic beach ball floats in the air, stripes of red, white, yellow and blue twirling as it makes its descent. A woman wearing a grayish hijab catches it, carefully reading one of the handwritten words scrawled across the plastic in black ink.

“Mountain!” she exclaims.

Suddenly, a half-dozen women shamble from seated positions and head to the edges of their yoga mats. They stand tall and proud, feet planted firmly, gazes forward.

“Do you like our mountains?” asks Patty Balboni, the yoga instructor.

The rest of the women, who remain seated on their mats, clap their hands as those standing beam down at them.

Balboni is the fourth teacher to volunteer to lead the weekly, free yoga class for refugee and immigrant women held at a local Greensboro church. The class began after Mona Flynn, the main yoga teacher and organizer, partnered with the New Arrivals Institute, an organization that offers ESL classes as well as employment readiness and cultural orientation programs to immigrants.

Because of the recent terrorist attacks against places of worship, particularly mosques, and at the request of the New Arrivals Institute, TCB has chosen not to disclose the specific location or day of the week of the classes.

The scene takes place in a cinderblocked room, where a circle of chairs carves out a makeshift yoga studio.

More than a dozen women have gathered to practice within the lemonpainted walls, where slivers of light peek through the window blinds, illuminating the yogis as they contort their limbs to match Balboni’s instructions, pose after pose.

“When we build core strength, our inner strength,” Flynn says, “we are more ready to face our daily challenges, what calls on us. But it also helps with our spiritual well-being.”

Flynn has been teaching yoga for 30 years and came up with the idea of providing a class for refugee and immigrant women after years of working with organizations that advocate for immigrants in the community. Her family is originally from Syria, and she says that some of her relatives still live in the war-torn country.

CULTURE From sweets to seafood, GSO food-truck fest delights the senses

he line weaves through the crowd, stretching down the road from where Cherry on Top is parked. Despite its length, people join in at the end, adding to the waiting time. The scent of fried Oreos mixes with those of pizza and hotdogs from various vendors down the block.

A summery Sunday welcomes the seventh year of the Greensboro Food Truck Festival. Guests crowd around the array of trucks. A block of downtown Greensboro becomes packed with foot traffic rather than cars, as people pick up doughnuts, tacos and turkey legs for their own sidewalk picnics.

Cherry on Top rests its wheels on Greene Street, dishing out funnel cakes like a factory, except with less robotics and more powdered sugar. The menu fuses the carnival go-to with various iconic desserts such as apple cobbler, or another bestseller: the sundae. The warm sugary fried dough gets amped up with a dollop of vanilla ice cream, chocolate or caramel sauce and, fittingly, finished with a cherry on top.

“We’re not just your average funnel cake,” Lovie Zeko says.

Zeko sits out back, watching happy festival-goers leave with paper plates full of the business’ sweets. She and her family own and operate Zeko’s 2 Go, a family-named Italian and Greek food truck, and the dessert business, both based in Greensboro. She explains how she enjoys the flexibility of owning a food truck, and how it allows her family time together, and a chance to be more creative.

“Once we went mobile,” she says, “we didn’t wanna go back to brick and mortar.”

Fresh Catch Seafood Shack operates out of High Point-based Fresh Catch Seafood Market and Carryout. Owner Shauntai Leach mentions that while the truck is new as of 2018, her family has been in the seafood business for more than a decade, and the venture has already allowed more culinary flexibility.

“I’m able to drive to the business,” she says.

Leach steps out of the passenger side of the truck for a moment, looking out at the pack of people waiting for, or already enjoying, soft-shell crab and shrimp tacos.

The truck, decorated in a paintjob that mimics wooden panels, hooks people into a line that crosses the street. A man

hops up onto the curb to jump on at the end of it.

They serve the flounder over crinkle fries, in a red and white checkered paper tray. The flounder falls apart under the slightest tug of a plastic fork and tastes light, the breading adding a crispy element — the perfect vehicle for a sweet and tangy cocktail sauce, or coleslaw, or any other seafoodappropriate condiment.

A savory turkey scent makes the warm day feel even hotter, yet Greensboro-based Hickory Tree Turkey Barbeque stays in demand for hours. Owner Mike Neal grew up with eastern-NC style barbecue, but found his culinary niche in turkey, rather than pork.

“We like to keep those Southern flavors we’re used to,” Neal says, “but clean it up a little bit.”

Though the menu features turkey tenders, legs and sandwiches, the bestseller remains a dish nicknamed “crack-ncheese.” For inspiration, Neal thought back to his great grandmother, who used every part of the bird she could in her cooking.

“It has everything we do well,” he says.

The mac-and-cheese comes in a small plastic container.

Turkey cracklings and a signature barbeque sauce top the classic side-dish. The deep red of the sauce sticks out against the light oranges and yellows of the cheese, which stretches into strings when the pasta gets pulled apart. The sweetness and slight heat of the sauce matches the smokiness of the turkey and the sharpness of the melted cheese. The flavors mingle like friends in deep conversation.

And as the temperature relents as the sun goes down and the customers lazily enjoy their food, the street curb transforms into a makeshift back porch, an early sign of summer on its way.

G Spliff (Clifford Owens) sat in his car with the door wide open and scrolled through his phone to find a good instrumental.

Others milled about, smoking cigarettes and sipping cheap beer in the streetlight’s amber incandescence. The beat kicked in and some freestylers formed a circle in the parking lot of Monstercade in Winston-Salem to start an after-party cypher. Pedestrians strolled by and joined in on the action.

And this was after the actual show had ended.

We Out Here 4: The Winston-Salem Rap Round Robin sounds like a highstakes competition. Spliff described it as more of a sparring match with his brothers.

Earlier that night inside the bar, Aaron Brookshire, one member of the fraternal duo Speak ‘N Eye, asked the crowd: “Is Winston in the house?” A few onlookers hollered back. Then he went over the rules and format for the night’s proceedings. There were three sound systems and two emcees for each stage; OG Spliff and Qvan Ledon (Daquan Edward Thompson) took the mainstage while Twinn Zeus (Dale Ruffin) and Grant Livesay manned the second positioned next to a long sofa. Samurai Yola (Tony Davis) and the aforementioned Speak ‘N Eye (Aaron and Joshua Brookshire) occupied the final setup that stood crammed in between some booths and a large arcade cabinet. The round robin began at the mainstage and worked its way around in a clockwise fashion. The audience turned their attention to each set like lazy, whirling dervishes who were set in motion by the constant stream of verse and rhythm.

Opener Jacob Leonard, of the group Dark Prophet Tongueless Monk, acted as a crescendo for the main event. His set started without an introduction and filled the small bar with slow, ambient reverberations. Audience members teetered back and forth while Monk built up the energy of his set with every track.

Monk brought everything together with a finger-pad drum solo before closing with more delicate riffs from his guitar.

Once he was done, he quickly moved all his gear off of the stage in preparation for the headliners.

The beats and flows varied quite a bit throughout the night. Everything from boom-bap breakbeats to the rattling high-hats and repetitive melodies of
