EDITOR’S NOTEBOOK

Incel — or, as we used to call it, Darwinism I had never heard of the group of onanistic internet humans who self-identified as “incel,” which is a portmanteau of the term “involunby Brian Clarey tary celibate,” until reading about them in Jordan Green’s piece, “Citizen Green: The alt-right hates women, too,” on June 21.

They’ve got their own websites and hashtags, their own terms — a “Stacy” is a sexually unavailable woman, while “Chad” refers to the sort of dude with whom Stacy would rather be spending her time, their own little silo wherein sexual intercourse becomes something that is owed them rather than something that is freely given, a birthright that is being unjustly withheld.

I suppose I had always known about that caste of humanity — almost exclusively male, though there are some female outliers — who for whatever reasons were unable to convince anyone, anywhere, to have sex with them, ever. I was, after all, a bartender for many years. And while I bore witness to many successful unions, I

learned more about how not to attract the opposite sex than anything else.

And though I’ve been out of the game for a while, I imagine that labeling one’s self as an involuntary celibate and forming a stupid little club about it is a big, red flag.

Back then, when the world was different, we had a set of derogatory terms reserved for guys like that, most of them rooted in toxic masculinity, a forsaken culture that defined the worth of a man by his ability to rack up sexual partners.

Or, if the fellow was a decent sort, a sympathetic barman might advise such a client on how to better his chances of attaining a successful connection — or, at least, become less repulsive. A better haircut, some new clothes and the resolve to stop being such an A-hole all the time can do wonders for a man’s social calendar.

But there’s something more sinister to incel than there was to the poor slob at the bar. For one, the poor slobs understood that the problem rested with them. These incel fellows don’t seem to understand that inability to attract a sexual partner is nature’s way of making sure you don’t reproduce.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK

I’ve been on the other side where your emotions rage. Anger is a pretty basic feeling. Anger at yourself. You ask: ‘Why wasn’t I there to stop it?’ Anger with whoever you worship: ‘Why did you let this happen?’ You’re scrambled. What’s next?

If I do something to that other family, what does that leave you with? A lot of pain and sorrow.

The News & Record has been running for a few months columns by Amy Murphy, a “homeless advocate” who earned the nickname “Chicken Lady” after a stretch of salvaging fried chicken from restaurants and redistributing it to some of the city’s itinerant population, something I understand, she no longer does.

Her columns — all about homelessness and panhandlers, which she neatly conflates — firmly deposit the city’s poor into the “other” category, exploring solutions that exist solely to make them stay away from decent people.

Now, there has been a bit of irresponsible reporting concerning the homeless in local media of late. But I expect better of the N&R. I have written for the editorial page of the N&R, most recently about five years ago; every sentence I submitted got scrutinized by a team of editors, with no fewer than three rounds of bounce-backs forcing COURTESY The Chicken Lady: Not a PHOTO me to defend my theses like a doctoral journalist. student.

How, I want to know, does this drivel make the cut?

This is a newspaper that 10 years ago took home national awards for Lorraine Ahearn’s reporting on Greensboro’s homeless, whom she treated with dignity and poignance. Her series Winter People — which she eventually turned into a book — should be required reading for anyone who endeavors to document the lives of the homeless and poor.

My how things have changed.

Forget about the Chicken Lady for a minute. What I want to know is how the daily newspaper in the state’s third-largest city went from the go-to source for honest reporting on the city’s most vulnerable residents to a mouthpiece for the people who just want them to go away, perpetrated in amateurish scrawl that should be relegated to the sort of fringe websites where the ignorant and cruel go to hear their malformed opinions echoed back to them?

That’s a rhetorical question; I already know the answer.

Winston-Salem trails Greensboro in goal to set $15 minimum wage

by Jordan Green

Opinion

News

Up Front

Labor advocates are heartened that WinstonSalem set a goal to pay employees a minimum wage of $15 an hour by 2021, but some workers still look with envy to Greensboro.

The city of Winston-Salem took a step closer to establishing a wage floor of $15 per hour for city workers when city council approved a resolution to meet the goal by 2021.

“As a legal matter, we can’t bind future councils,” Councilman Dan Besse said.

“I thought under the circumstances of setting the goal, it would be hard politically to walk back from that.”

In the meantime, the budget fiscal year 2018-2019 increases the minimum wage from $11.25 to $12.50, but the raise doesn’t go into effect until April 2019.

Monticello Mitchell, a maintenance worker in the vegetation management division, took a lunch break at the Wendy’s restaurant on Waughtown Street in southeast Winston-Salem last Thursday.

“For the next six days we’re going to be above 90 degrees,” he said. “Some people are going to struggle with that.”

He added that employees would have seen it as a “good faith” gesture if city council had gone ahead and approved the $15 per hour minimum wage for implementation this year. A former firefighter, Mitchell came back to work for the city three years ago, starting at $10.41, and now earns $13.13, so this year’s increase won’t affect him.

“I’m fortunate it’s just me and my wife,” Mitchell said. “Our kids are gone, and we have two businesses.” He disclosed to Tim Watson, an organizer with the AFL-CIO-affiliated Working America, that he plans to leave his job with the city at the end of the year.

For younger workers especially, the higher pay would make a difference, Watson said.

“My guy has a wife and kids to support,” he said. “Kids get in trouble. Dad can’t be there as much as he needs to be.

He’s working a full-time and a part-time job to make ends meet. If everybody got $15 they could see their kids.”

Besse said it was not only the cost differential between $12.50 and $15 per hour that prevented council from implementing the raise all at once, but also the need to boost pay for other workers who hold slightly more seniority. Without increasing pay for workers at all level of experience, large-scale employers can run into something human resources professionals call “salary compression.”

“The previous standing commitment to bring all the worker categories up to market-competitive levels — in the minds of the majority of the council, that standing commitment took precedent,” Besse said. “We were going to do that first. Second, we were not going to do purely the $15 without making adjustments to salaries to avoid compression. If you combined all those commitments together and said, ‘We’re going to do it all at once as of the start of this new fiscal year,’ the tax increase would have been problematic. You’ve got to lay your groundwork with the public. If you slam ’em with a big hit, you could face some backlash.”

Winston-Salem lags neighboring Greensboro in implementing the $15 an hour minimum wage. Greensboro City Council passed a resolution in 2015 adopting a goal of paying employees at least $15 an hour by 2020. During the recent budget adoption, council moved the timeline up to fiscal year 2018-2019.

Monticello Mitchell, a city employee, and Tim Watson, an organizer with Working America, at Wendy’s in Winston-Salem

“Greensboro workers have more leverage,” Watson said. “They call us ‘Twin Cities,’ but Greensboro is light years ahead of us.”

Greensboro Human Resources Director Jamiah Waterman said staff hasn’t determined when in the next 12 months the city will be able to implement the new $15-an-hour minimum wage, which equates to $31,200.

“When it passed in Greensboro, that was the first time in the South that something like that has occurred,” said Catherine Walton, state director of Working America. “It put Greensboro as a leader in this. We’re excited that Winston-Salem passed the same resolution.”

Mitchell said the lag in WinstonSalem’s implementation of the $15-anhour goal raises the risk that employees will leave to take advantage of better opportunities in neighboring cities. He said he’s recently spoken with at least two employees — one in vegetation management and the other in utilities — who say they plan to go to work for the city of Greensboro.

“I always hate to lose folks, but we can only do so much so fast,” Besse said.

“We’ll do what we can. Hopefully, it will persuade our good folks to stay with us and allow us to recruit more people. If you’ve got folks who think it’s in their interest to travel to Greensboro to work, I

can’t argue that they shouldn’t do that.”

Greensboro Mayor Vaughan said beyond advocacy from city workers and their supporters, council members are committed to treating their employees right.

“We really want to make an impact when it comes to poverty,” she said, “and we have to walk that walk. If we want to talk to other employees about paying living wages or livable wages we at least have to be moving in that direction.”

Vaughan said Greensboro has one of the strongest benefits packages in the state. The city was among the first in the state to extend benefits to employees with same-sex partners, in 2006.

Winston-Salem followed suit in 2014.

Vaughan said the city has similarly attempted to set an example for private employers by hiring people who have served time in prison.

“We do have a lot of formerly incarcerated people on our staff, and they are very, very good employees,” the mayor said. “We have not regretted any of those hires. That is another message we are trying to send to employers: ‘Please give these people a second chance.’ We can’t go out with that message if we haven’t done it ourselves.”

Republican lawmakers changed election law in 2017, allowing smaller parties like the Greens and Constitutional Party to gain ballot access. Now, a Green Party candidate is running in the 13th Congressional District, where Democrats are working to flip a Republican seat.

The party also nominated Keenan Altic for the at-large seat on Forsyth County Commission. The race presents a closely matched contest between Democratic incumbent Ted Kaplan and Republican Buddy Collins, who previously served on the Winston-Salem/Forsyth County School Board. Altic could not be reached for this story.

Corriher said he hopes he’s not dismissed as a spoiler with no chance of winning his congressional race.

“There’s so much energy in the district from people who want solutions to climate change,” he said. “They want to figure out how to stop some of this rampant inequality.

Opinion

The 13th Congressional District race will be a four-way affair, with Green Party nominee Robert Corriher joining Republican incumbent Ted Budd, Democratic challenger Kathy Manning and Libertarian Tom Bailey on the November general-election ballot.

Corriher, a labor organizer, received the nomination after making a pitch to party members during a statewide conference call that served as the party’s nominating convention. The 13th Congressional District, which stretches from Greensboro west to Iredell County, has attracted significant interest from Democratic groups, from the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee to Swing Left, who hope to swipe it from Budd, a one-term Republican incumbent.

The Green Party was granted access to the ballot, along with the far-right Constitution Party, by the state Board of Elections & Ethics Enforcement in May after submitting the required number of petitions. The Republican-controlled General Assembly passed legislation in 2017 reducing the signature threshold to 0.25 percent of the electorate.

“I feel like in this race we have an opportunity to present a different option, a different way to look at the world,” Corriher said. “We haven’t tried to build the old coalition of labor and progressives.

The Democratic Party is not coming along. You see it in race after race.”

Corriher dismissed the notion that he could end up playing spoiler in a race that is considered the Democrats’ best opportunity to pick up a congressional seat in North Carolina.

“I feel like people who disagree with the same old tactics that have been losing for the Democrats — that people like that shouldn’t have an option is absurd,” he said. “So many people understand we have to find a way to deal with problems like healthcare. We need to stop xenophobic Trumpism. [Rep.] Maxine Waters was chastised by the Democratic leadership for standing up to Trump.

We can’t appease leaders like Trump because it leads to a slippery slope. None of us want that.”

Elizabeth Oglesby, Budd’s campaign

manager, welcomed Corriher to the race in a prepared statement.

“While we disagree on many issues,” she said, “we agree that Kathy Manning is a political insider, bought and paid for

by Nancy Pelosi, who will be a rubber stamp for Pelosi’s agenda in Washington.”

The Manning campaign, along with local and state Democratic Party officials, could not be reached for comment for this story.

Corriher said he worked with the Green Party on a number of successful campaigns to deny rate hikes to Duke Energy. On Monday, he was protesting US Immigration and Customs Enforcement with other Green Party members in Charlotte.

Corriher currently lives in Mebane, which is part of the 4th Congressional District. North Carolina law does not require candidates to live in the congressional district in which their seeking office. Corriher said he moved to Mebane from Greensboro a couple months ago after going through a separation. Before that, he said he’s lived in the Glenwood neighborhood in Greensboro — part of the 13th Congressional District — for four years. He pledged to move back to the district before the November election.

“I’ve organized with just about every labor organization in town,” he said. “I worked to put pressure on the General Assembly in Raleigh to expand Medicaid. I’ve been really involved with the North Carolina Association of Educators and the Guilford County Association of Educators — that’s where most people know me — as well as the Homeless Union of Greensboro. That’s what I want everyone to know: My heart is in Greensboro. It feels like home more than any place I’ve ever lived.”

In addition to contract work as an organizer, Corriher said he’s worked as a caterer, and generally held down two jobs at a time since graduating from college in 2012. He contrasted his work experience with that of Manning, a lawyer

We do it because we know it’s important work, this business of keeping the people informed. We do it because — by decades of experience, or desire, or for whatever other reason — we have something to say.

Like newspaper people everywhere, we pause in our duties to mourn the dead writers and editors, the sick climate that produced this unholy turn. We salute our colleagues who still feel exactly the same way we do about delivering the truth onto a world that doesn’t often want to hear it.

Then we buckle down and turn out copy. We are getting the damn paper out, whether the bastards like it or not.

Cure Violence interrupts a tired narrative

Ingram Bell wore a yellow shirt declaring, “I refuse to wear another RIP shirt.” She held a clump of red and silver helium balloons, the kind that materialize during birthdays and

by Jordan Green graduations, as a small crowd gathered in the parking lot of Windsor Recreation Center on Thursday evening.

“It’s a lot of families hurt,” she said. “It’s not just one family. When you lose a child, a brother, a sister, a mother, a friend, it’s not just us hurting. We’re also hurting those who have to go to jail because now we’re losing a father going to jail, a child going to jail, a sister going to jail. So it’s not just one side hurting. Everybody’s hurting. So I’m just asking everybody in Greensboro: Just cease fire. Put your guns down. Something else to do. Talk about it. Talk it out. Death is senseless.”

Three black men succumbed to gun violence in Greensboro on Monday. The stats — how this year’s body count stacks up compared to last year — are not that important. One death is too many. The vigils and press conferences are not new either. The rituals to commemorate lives unexpectedly cut short — the balloons released as the names of the dead are called out and the little votive candles flickering over the asphalt in the twilight — no one relishes this.

“It’s a lot of Grief is supposed to be a unique possession for the bereaved, but unfortunately the narrative is too relatable.

Tunya Crawford’s boyfriend, Darren Herbin, was one of those three men slain on Monday.

“I done heard a million stories between Monday and now,” she said during the vigil, “but until we get out here and do something about this — y’all — we’re gonna continue to come out here and light these candles…. And after Sunday, when I lay my guy to rest, everybody else [is] going back to their normal life.”

If this story is familiar, it bears repeating: Death steals something irreplaceable from family members.

“I had to call the sergeant to come and tell me that my son was deceased,” recalled Tonya Cuthbertson-McCrimmon, whose son, Ernest Lemark Cuthbertson, was slain in December 2015. “It destroyed my life, my trust in people.

It destroyed my family’s life. It has changed tremendously.

I tried to commit suicide in 2017. I isolate myself in my house. But I am surrounded and I have a very nice support system. I try to rebuild my life. I have nightmares. I have intense crying spells. I have trauma therapy that I go to.

When these murders occur, I relive every single thing that happened to my son.”

another human being’s life. She sustained a gunshot to her head in 2011. She grew up knowing Darren Herbin, and went to talk to Tunya Crawford after learning of his death.

Even though the program is not yet funded, Bell has taken on the role of “interruptor” under a model known as Cure Violence, which treats violence as a public health problem.

People who are hurt and seeking revenge might not listen to a cop, a social worker or a pastor. Bell is what they call a “credible messenger.”

“I’ve been that angry person,” she says. “I have the ability to talk to people.”

Bell’s cousin, Starmecca Parham, who lost her brother, Sakwane Wray, in 2015, agreed.

“We have the community connection that we can have the conversations,” Bell added.

Parham, also an interruptor, said, “I’ve been on the other side where your emotions rage. Anger is a pretty basic feeling. Anger at yourself. You ask: ‘Why wasn’t I there to stop it?’ Anger with whoever you worship: ‘Why did you let this happen?’ You’re scrambled. What’s next? If I do something to that other family, what does that leave you with? A lot of pain and sorrow.”

and any other organic matter before piling dirt back on. Then, you plant.

“As that mixture breaks down it retains water and basically makes a raised bed that’s good for 20 years,” Sizemore says.

“Really what I’ve been doing is growing dirt.”

He mixes the red clay that folks in the Piedmont like to complain about with his rabbits’ manure and any other organic matter around the yard — or the gutters — to encourage fertility.

He makes his own herbal cooking blends and — because his wife experiences them — he’s dedicated a large section of their front yard to herbs known for for dulling migraines.

for flavor. (Sizemore suggests crushing the spearmint-like costmary in mojitos, too). Learning applications for herbs is a rabbit hole, so much so that sooner or later you might find yourself growing woad for fun.

“That blue war paint, like in Braveheart, is an antimicrobial paint they would use... to look intimidating but if you get cut, that healing ointment is already on there,” he says. “You harvest the leaves and ferment it and once it breaks down a little bit you get a natural blue dye.”

If you can relinquish control just let the herbs go to seed and they’ll proliferate just as easily as they began. It’s all an exercise in embracing experimentation and adapting accordingly.

“Plants have personalities,” Sizemore says. And it pays off to pay attention, though learning counterintuitive basics is key.

“With wilting plants, either [water] early in the morning before it gets hot or in the evening after it starts cooling down,” Sizemore suggests. “If you do it midday, it’ll cause evaporation and confuse the plant. It damages it more. Best to let it soak overnight. The best way to get what’s considered a green thumb is to get your hands dirty. You plant stuff in the ground and it either grows or it doesn’t but it you take care of it.”

Patience is key, but so is planning.

Sizemore suggests new and experienced gardeners attend Old Salem’s annual seed swap, typically held in the winter months.

“All the local gardeners get together and swap seeds and you get advice,” Sizemore says. “Those people collected… heirloom seeds they’ve been growing in their yard and they can tell you exactly what their experience has been.”

He also suggests linking up with Old Salem’s horticultural department and joining a neighborhood gardening club where you will be more likely to encounter seeds native to your area.

He’s raising dozens of edible and flowering plant strains native to West Salem. But he says the best part of engaging these resources is inheriting the knowledge from others who’ve tilled soil very similar to your own, not to mention the support of a community within your geographic community.

So, go forth aspiring gardeners, and remember to ask for a little help from your friends.

ustin Sizemore talks to plants more than he talks to most people, but if you want to get him talking, ask him about his garden — or yours.

Sizemore earned a degree in environmental studies from UNC Wilmington before a series of jobs in landscaping set him on a path to cultivating his own property and consulting on others. In the last year, the North Carolina Wildlife Federation certified his home garden in the West Salem neighborhood of Winston-Salem — occupying the totality of his front and back yards — an official wildlife habitat and part of the Butterfly Highway for providing a sustainable ecosystem for native pollinating insects and wildlife. Over the last seven years, he’s planted more than 80 species, mostly perennials and things he can eat.

“For me, I’d rather put in more effort and have a yard I can eat out of,” he says. “I have a limited amount of space so if it’s not edible it better be a very good pollinator, or I don’t have time for it. [Butterflies] have had a really hard time so anything that encourages them is great. Yarrow is a really good one and it’s one of the biodynamic plants that’s really good for the soil.”

Same with comfrey, chamomile, echinacea and beebalm, which Sizemore says are primary components of most healing salves. Coming to understand humans’ fundamental, symbiotic connection to the land is a theme he’s happened upon time and time again.

“Most of the list that’s good for soil health in biodynamic horticulture is also good for your skin and healing the body,” he says. “There’s a correlation.”

Embarking on that journey yourself doesn’t need to cost an arm and leg if you learn how to work with what you have. When he started shaping his own yard into a home garden, Sizemore felled invasive species of tree like Tree of Paradise and Princess Tree out of Asia and chopped the trunk into long logs that would serve as perimeters for raised beds. When neighbors lay out yard waste, don’t be embarrassed about scavenging. Any wood unfit to burn can serve as a better wall structure than plywood, which contains chemicals.

Smaller branches, too, can play an important role in a permaculture method for cultivating raised beds.

It starts with a trench and it’s as simple as filling it with those branches

CULTURE Caleb Caudle’s civil war is over

by Jordan Green

A

fter finishing soundcheck before his gig at High Rock Outfitters in downtown Lexington — the inaugural date on a 5-week tour — singer-songwriter Caleb Caudle makes some time for a local journalist.

Deeming the green room too cramped and chaotic, he leads the way through a throng of early-evening drinkers on the sidewalk to a little pocket park in the town center. Caudle’s standard mode of dress — brown suede boots, a flat-brimmed hat and trimmed beard — vaguely suggests something between a 19th Century bohemian minstrel and a Civil War reenactor. The park is bereft of benches. Apprising the Confederate monument that dominates the space, he realizes the only available seating is at its base.

“Wonderful,” Caudle remarks drily, taking a perch on the granite ledge.

The politically fraught symbolism of the monument is a little too on the nose for a guy who once led a band called the Bayonets, a name steeped in reliquary militarism if there ever was one. It’s not that he’s looking to make a political pronouncement; rather, he’s shoving the glaring politics back to make space for the matters of real importance in his music — mortality, loneliness, longing, loyalty.

“Death and hope are the two big ones that I keep coming back to,” he says of the themes that drive Crushed Coins, his eighth album, released in February. “No one’s really prepared for it when you lose someone. You don’t get over that.

There’s a void. You don’t fill it. You just appreciate the person and the time you had with them. And hold on to hope because it’s a tough road without it.”

He said he lost two close friends, as well as his grandfather and his wife’s grandfather, all within a short period of time. Both of his friends were musicians and former tour mates, and one died in a car accident while on tour. “It shook me pretty hard,” Caudle recalls. “We traveled together so much; I could imagine myself there with him.”

He’s quick to acknowledge the flipside of the equation that keeps mortality from curdling into morbidity. “If they were here,” Caudle says, “they would be calling out to me to be doing what I’m doing now — throwing everything into the music.”

Crushed Coins marks a watershed for Caudle, who prides himself on never

having made the same record twice, that is both exciting and scary. As a kid haunting Winston-Salem’s threadbare punk scene, Caudle loved the Velvet Underground and the Clash, and then hardly out of his teens he underwent a conversion to country and folk. Over the course of seven albums, his oeuvre gradually migrated through Steve Earle and Gram Parsons before finally arriving at George Strait — that is, classic, straightforward 1990s mainstream country — in 2016’s Carolina Ghost.

Recorded at Mixtown USA, a studio in Los Angeles’ Skid Row district, Crushed Coins is Caudle’s first album that altogether defies genre parameters.

The first two from Carolina Ghost, and scratching-strings-quiet-to-tour-desongs come from Carolina Ghost, including the title track, a force-crescendo of “Six Feet From the Flowers” from the new relaxed and spacious canvas that provides a foil for Caudle’s album.
