Atty. alleges ‘pattern & practice’ of fraud in W-S clerk’s office W I N S TO N - S A L E M , N . C .

BY CASH MICHAELS FOR THE CHRONICLE

The attorney suing the Forsyth County Clerk of Superior Court Office, an estate guardian, and others over alleged “acts of fraud” involving the loss of over $1.4 million in assets belonging to a now deceased African-American retired nurse, claimed in court papers a year ago that he has evidence that this wasn’t just a one-time occurrence, but rather, “a pattern and practice of fraudulent activity by the Clerk’s Office…,” and that specific guardian.

BY TODD LUCK THE CHRONICLE

Oba Kabiru Adewale Shotobi, the king of the Nigerian city of Ikorodu, visited North Carolina last week in hopes of finding new partnerships to help his people.

Shotobi visited Winston-Salem last Wednesday as one of his many stops in the Tar Heel state. In Charlotte, he visited a sustainable energy project at Johnson C. Smith University. He’s also had numerous meetings with business leaders interested in doing work in Africa.

This week Shotobi is scheduled to go to Washington, D.C., and Chicago. Ikorodu is a city of 1.5 million people in Lagos State, Nigeria, that is known for its agriculture.

Shotobi said his city has many infrastructure needs in education, transportation, energy and other areas.

“I am here to solicit for investors to assist us,” he said.

The trip also had a deep personal meaning for Shotobi,

who is a 1983 graduate of N.C. A&T State University, which he visited during the college’s homecoming this past weekend.

Shotobi said his electrical engineering degree from A&T was thanks to Robert Brown, founder and CEO of global business management consulting firm B&C International of High Point. Brown is a veteran in crisis management and communications professional who, over his long career, worked on the presidential campaigns of John and Robert Kennedy and Richard Nixon and advised Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Shotobi was working in a hotel in Lagos when he met Brown, who was staying there while helping to organize a new government in Nigeria. Shotobi was one of several young people Brown took to the United States to attend college.

“I felt Nigeria needed some great leadership,” said Brown. “They had some very good people there, but I felt

they needed more.”

Shotobi said he believed that the education Brown helped him get was one of the reasons he was picked by his city’s kingmakers this year for the coveted position he now holds. He said Brown was like a father to him. He said he dedicated his crown to Brown.

“I wanted to come and say thank you for helping to make me what I am today,” Shotobi said.

Brown, who helped plan Shotobi’s current trip, said he was surprised and delighted when Shotobi became king.

“I think he’ll be a great king,” said Brown. “He’s compassionate, he knows what to do, he’s knowledgeable, he’s a brilliant guy.”

Shotobi is not the first African leader to have an education in America. Winston-Salem State University See King on A2

A new tentative hearing has been set for January 2016.

The N.C. General Assembly passed the law known as the Voter Information Verification Act in 2013. The law requires voters to have a photo ID when voting and would go into affect in 2016, during the March 15 primary.

“One of the most traded things in the world historically has always been ideas,” said Pope.

Pope said that while African countries often have all the human and natural resources of other more industrialized nations, the legacy of colonialism and multinational exploitation continues to cause many of them to struggle with issues involving poverty, infrastructure and economic inequality.

“There’s a lot of poverty in Africa, but also there’s a lot of opportunity in Africa,” said Grandberry, the former Winston-Salem Urban League president.

Nigeria has a lot going for it. It’s referred to as the “Giant of Africa,” with a population of 174 million people, making it the most populous country in Africa and seventh most populous in the world. It’s viewed as a multinational state, with over 500 ethnic groups.

More than 500 languages are spoken in the country, but English is the official language. It’s the largest economy in Africa and 20th largest in the world.

Nigeria made international headlines in recent years for its fight against the extremist group Boko Haram, which operates in the Northeast region of the country. It was also the first country to effectively contain and eliminate the 2014 Ebola outbreak.

requirement. The State argued that the amendment made the claim moot.

The amendment allows voters who have a ``reasonable impediment'' to getting an approved photo ID to use other means of identification and fill out a form that includes personal information in order for the person’s vote to count.

Although they did make modifications to the law, the state failed to make changes to other aspects of the law that affect minority voters.

The 2013 law cuts the number of early voting days, bans out-of-precinct voting and same day registration. It would also put an end to pre-registration for teens who are not old enough to vote.

On Friday, Oct. 23, U.S. District Court Judge Thomas Schroeder told both sides to prepare for a trial early next year, likely in January.

“We are pleased with Judge Schroeder’s decision to deny the state’s motion to dismiss the photo ID provision of the law,” said plaintiffs’ Attorney Irving Joyner. “We remain concerned about the abbreviated timetable to prepare for trial, a timetable that exists solely because of the gamesmanship of the North Carolina General Assembly who waited until the dawn of trial to slightly amend its discriminatory photo ID requirement.”

“North Carolina’s voter ID requirement remains an undue and unlawful burden on voters of color,” Barber said. “Yet Gov. McCrory and the legislature continue

striving to suppress the vote. Their desperate attempt to mask the discrimination embedded in this law by altering – yet not removing – the photo identification requirement on the eve of our trial shows that they knew it would not withstand the weight of constitutional review. They wanted the photo ID provision of the law dismissed because they don’t want the court to focus on their discriminatory intent to deny and abridge African American & Latino voters’ right to vote.”

During his State of the N.C. NAACP address during the 72nd annual NAACP State convention earlier this month, Barber said the legislature has chosen to ignore the need of the poor and the common people.

Barber also encouraged convention gatherers to mobilize the Moral Monday Movement across the state, especially in dis-

tricts of conservative state legislators who oppose the progressive agenda.

“We’re going to put together the most massive get-out-to-vote effort ever

seen since the ’60s,” said Barber. “The N.C. NAACP and Forward Together Movement will continue to build coalitions for progress.”

Charles E. Cobb Jr. delivers WSSU memorial lecture

BY TEVIN STINSON THE CHRONICLE

Over the years, the J. Alston Atkins Memorial Lecture in Constitutional Law has become one of the more anticipated events during Homecoming Week at Winston-Salem State University (WSSU).

Since 1985 attorneys, educators, authors and civil rights activists have been invited to speak and give their opinions on constitutional law and social justice in the state and country.

This year, the WSSU family invited Charles E. Cobb Jr. to deliver the lecture. From 1962 until 1967.

Cobb was a Mississippi field secretary for the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC).

J. Alston Atkins Memorial Lecture was named after Jasper Alston Atkins, the youngest son of WSSU founder Simon Green Atkins, and Oleona Pegram Atkins. Jasper was responsible for bringing a number of crucial cases before the court that change the landscape of public schools in WinstonSalem and the state.

J. Alston Atkins vs.

State Board of Education of North Carolina, Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Board of Education, Board of County Commissioners of Forsyth County and City of Winston-Salem, sought elimination of racially dual school systems in WinstonSalem and throughout the state.

The case was a catalyst for the NAACP’s “Catherine Scott” case, which ultimately desegregated the WinstonSalem/Forsyth County Schools.

Vice-Chancellor for University Advancement Michelle Cook expressed how important Jasper Atkins’ work in the city really was.

“I can’t think of another way to honor a man that has done so much for the university and the city,” Cook said. “These are the types of programs that need to happen to improve the lives of AfricanAmericans.”

Cobb was a founding member of the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ).

He is currently a visiting-activist scholar at Duke University, and author of “This Nonviolent Stuff’ll Get You Killed: How Guns Made the Civil Rights Movement Possible.”

During the hourlong sit-down with the Corey D.B. Walker dean of the

College of Arts and Sciences, Cobb discussed the struggles he faced during his time with SNCC and living in Mississippi during a time when being black could get you killed.

When asked why he decided to write the book, he said, “I decided to write the book because I wanted to tell the story of the people in the backwood towns no one had ever heard of.

“What I was interested in is the organizing tradition,” he commented. “I could have wrote a book on the march in Selma butI was more interested in the

grassroots movement.”

After the lecture, Andre Harrison said that he learned a lot about the civil rights movement that he had never heard before.

“Mr. Cobb did a great job of telling real life stories that we as students can relate to,” said Hamson “We all know the stories of Dr. King and other big names of the Civil Rights Movement, but its good to hear accounts from those who were behind the scenes.”

‘Conversations’ highlight W-S neighborhood group’s summit A4 OCTOBER 29, 2015

BY TEVIN STINSON THE CHRONICLE

Neighbors for Better Neighborhoods was the host of the first CrossSystems Equity Summit on the campus of WinstonSalem State University.

The summit was designed to bring local institutions, government agencies and communitybased organizations together to discuss, plan, strategize and fund efforts to work on social; economic and educational disparities plaguing a number of communities.

Paula McCoy, executive director of Neighbors for Better Neighborhoods, said these conversations have to happen to make an impact in neighborhoods of color. “Neighbors for Better Neighborhoods is about asset-based community development but you can’t do any work without recognizing what is going on in communities of color, so we have to talk about it.�

According to McCoy, the regions’s slow economic recovery combined with rising inequality and wide racial gaps in income, education and opportunity puts the region’s economic future at risk.

Monica Walker, national trainer for the People’s Institute for Survival & Beyond, was the guest speaker for the summit, sponsored by the United Way of Forsyth County on Saturday, Oct. 24. During her speech, Walker presented data from a number of universities and professors that showed how race is a determining factor when it comes to social, economic and educational disparities.

The data collected by Walker and others were designed to show that race is always factored into the

structural analysis of systems such as health care and education. Walker believes that to improve the quality of life of the African-American community, the data must be used as part of the solution. “If race is present in the outcome, a structural analysis of race must be part of the solution,� said Walker. “If the program you are designing has not considered a structural analysis, then that is the reason you are getting what you are getting, because you are not asking the question why.�

Many of the people who attended the event are members of nonprofit organizations, community development organizations, community leaders and educators.

Dr. Yolanda Edmonds, chair of the Department of Rehabilitation Counseling at Winston-Salem State University, said she came to the program to get to know the community better. “The program I have is a rehab counseling program, so we actually train people to work within the community specifically dealing with disabilities and employment,� said Edmonds. “I wanted to get to know the community a little better so when we get ready to work with the students, we know they will be working for the community.�

Following Walker’s presentation, a number of attendees said, although they had seen the data before seeing the research compiled at a event with people from different backgrounds, really helps to think of solutions to the problems. “Because I work with data, I’ve seen that data before, but when she put it all together, that’s what

made an impact for me,�

Edmonds said. “I already knew a lot of the information but when you start showing it in every area education, employment, healthcare it makes a bigger impact.�

The room used for the event was full, but some thought others should have attended because they are most affected by the data presented.

Sisters Tashandra and Marquita Wisley, who are members of the Cleveland Avenue Transformation Team, said they believed more young AfricanAmerican males should have attended. “I’ve been to this before, when they had it in Greensboro. I came today to see what type of people are coming out to get this information,� said Tashondra Wisley. “The people who are targeted the most by racial disparities in this country are not here.� “I really enjoyed the speech today, but I just think people have to see the people who are affected by the decisions they are making,� said Marquita. “We should be having these same types of conversations in our on neighborhoods and communities.�

Following Walker’s opening address, a number of separate sessions were held on a number of specific topics including; “Faith & Race: Are we a Community of Unity?,� “Let’s Talk about Education,� “The Health of the Health Industry for Communities of Color,� “Is Racial Justice Possible in our Justice System,� and “Income, Gender and Race: Policy & Poverty.�

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

COLUMBIA, S.C. ⎯ A South Carolina school district banned a school resource officer pending an investigation after a video surfaced showing him tossing a student across a classroom floor.

The incident apparently captured on a student's cell phone happened at Spring Valley High School in Columbia. School officials and sheriff's deputies are investigating what happened, Richland Two Superintendent Debbie Hamm said. “Pending the outcome of the investigation, the district has directed that the school resource officer not return to any school in the district,� Hamm said in a prepared statement.

The video shows a uniformed officer asking a student to rise from a classroom

desk. Another adult is standing nearby. The student stays seated, when the officer wraps a forearm around the child's neck.

He tips the attached chair and desk backward until the student spills to the floor.

Then the officer tosses the child several feet across the floor to the front of the classroom.

The video shows the officer removing a student who was disruptive and refused to leave class, Richland County Sheriff Leon Lott told multiple media outlets. “The video then shows the student resisting and being arrested by the officer,�

Lott said.

The images captured an “egregious use of force� against the student, ACLU of South Carolina Executive Director Victoria Middleton said.

They have practiced during the Band Camp in the summer at Carver. Now that school is in session, they practice from 4 to 6:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and perform on Fridays at the games. As the parade gets closer, Stover has added some extra hours of rehearsal.

“Homecoming is exciting! I have been looking forward to WSSU's Homecoming since last years' parade,” said Glenn.

“Both of my daughters Koloney and Kennedy are participating, one as a majorette and one as a twirler. They are excited, and so am I.” “The Carver Band, Sweet Stingers, Flag Divas and Majorettes practice year-round. They never stop. They perform for birthday parties, bar mitzvahs, and parades,” said Stover. “The band did not practice today, but the auxiliaries did.”

“The WSSU parade is an important performance,” Stover said. “Our band director, Mr. Juan Eckard, is an alumnus of WSSU. We have to represent. We have to show up and show out.”

A saying in the business world is, if you walk into a room and can’t tell who is in charge, then you havea true leader. The leader is leading by example.

That happened at Winston-Salem State University (WSSU) last week.

WSSU's office of Career Development Services held a Career, Internship and Graduate School Expo on Thursday, Oct. 22. Hundreds of WSSU students and alumni representing all majors were there.

Winston-Salem State University Chancellor Elwood L. Robinson speaks with Jelisa Preston, left, and La Shunda Booker at WSSU's Career, Internship and Graduate School Expo on Thursday, Oct. 22.

Scores of recruiters representing scores of companies were there, too.

Someone else was there, also, someone unexpected. WSSU Chancellor Elwood L. Robinson was there. But if you didn’t know who he was, you wouldn’t know he is the person in charge.

Robinson wore a professional suit and tie. He walked around the room at the Donald J. Reaves Student Center as though he was looking for tables to approach, seeking job opportunities. He stopped and talked with students doing just that. He engaged with some recruiters and other adults in the room. He set an example for those he leads.

An informal survey of recruiters at the Expo showed that WSSU impressed many of them.

One recruiter said he had been to two job fairs earlier in the week but was impressed with the WSSU Expo because it ran smoothly, the students asked questions and the kinds of businesses recruiting varied.

Several recruiters said they were looking for leaders. They didn’t talk about majors. One company executive at the Expo said she had an engineering degree. Yet, she was recruiting for Sam’s Club. She was looking for leaders.

WSSU has produced leaders in many ways. Take for instance the three recruiters for Duke Energy.

They are all alumni of WSSU. And on Friday, Oct. 30, Robinson will officially become the leader of WSSU when he is installed in a ceremony. He came to the university in January.

Robinson doesn’t need a ceremony to label him a leader. He is already proving that he is one.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Use of force by officer at S.C. school is offensive

the guidance crafted by the U.S. Department of Justice and the U.S. Department of Education on the use

To the Editor:

The video we have seen of a school resource officer violently flipping, tossing and thereafter banging the head of a young girl in her [Richland County] South Carolina classroom is offensive.

The videos shot by students display in morally vulgar vividness an unacceptable level of brutality and misuse of force. This type of brutality deserves no place in modern policing – it is even more outrageous that it would occur in a high school classroom.

This young student may have broken school rules, but there is nothing that indicates she broke any criminal laws or Brooks was a physical threat to anyone at the level that would require this officer to treat her like a violent criminal.

This is yet another example of the misuse of force and the exceedingly disproportionate contact of resource officers with young minority students.

This officer’s actions in front of a room full of young teenagers will no doubt have a devastating impact emotionally on the young victim and her classmates. It is our hope that these students are provided with counseling after witnessing and experiencing such a violent encounter. Those who provide security in our schools should only hold those positions after rigorous and thorough training, education and strict oversight.

It is even more disturbing that

of Resource Officers in our Nation’s schools have clearly not been implemented in this public high school.

This is also a clear indication that the shifts in resource and spending by school districts have created an over-reliance on armed police instead of educated and trained school administrators. It is unfortunate that our school principals and vice principals, the traditional administrators of discipline, have been put in a position to rely on street policing inside our school classrooms rather than administering tried and true education discipline tactics.

There is no acceptable explanation for this officer’s treatment of this young student. The NAACP applauds federal officials on their announcement of a full investigation and demands that this officer be terminated and never again employed in a position where he has any law enforcement encounter responsibility with the public.

Thank you for helping us fight ALS To the Editor:

When people are struck by ALS [amyotrophic lateral sclerosis], it’s important that their friends and fami-

ly step up to help. One of the first steps is finding a team of medical professionals to provide the highest quality of multidisciplinary care.

I’m incredibly grateful that The ALS Association aids our ability – and the ability of 48 other ALS Association Certified Centers of Excellence™ across the U.S. – to enhance care for people living with ALS. The grant we received from the association, made possible by your generosity, allows our hospital’s ALS team to exist so that people living with the disease can visit specialists across care disciplines – neurology, pulmonology, and physical therapy among others – all during one appointment.

This approach to care is critical for helping people live the best life possible with this terrible disease.

A s A L S Association Russell chapters across the country do, the chapter in our community provides staff support to our ALS clinic in order to bridge the gap between hospital and homecare, in addition to lending medical equipment that might not be covered by some insurance programs.

So, what I want you to know above all else is that your donations to The ALS Association make a difference. I see it every day in the work that I do and in the lives of the people with ALS that we all care so much about.

For that, I offer you my sincere gratitude.

Groups Reject Governor's Signing of HB 318 Officials from the city of Greensboro, immigrant rights organizations from across the state, and groups representing low-income residents gathered at the International Civil Rights Center and Museum on Wednesday, Oct. 28 to oppose House Bill 318.

The groups have heard that the governor plans to sign the bill on the same day in Greensboro.

HB 318 limits a municipality’s flexibility in identifying residents as it chooses. This could have a significant impact on North Carolina’s immigrant residents, many of whom do not have access to state issued identification, as well as other individuals who have difficulty obtaining ID, including senior citizens and people dealing with homelessness.

Collaborating with the police department and many other city agencies in Greensboro and Burlington, the FaithAction ID program has successfully addressed concerns associated with not having a state ID over the last two years.

However, advocates fear that restricting government officials from accepting certain forms of ID could lead to discrimina-

tion and profiling and could limit access to services for our community’s most vulnerable residents.

In addition, this bill also limits federal food assistance for childless adults working less than 20 hours per week, despite the fact that in North Carolina, 83 counties have more jobless workers than job openings.

“Even while our NC General Assembly and our Governor demonstrate a callous regard for marginalized populations, we pledge to stand alongside immigrants and SNAP recipients to ensure that everyone is able to fully participate in our community,” said Lori Fernald Khamala of the American Friends Service Committee.

The City of Greensboro has staunchly opposed this bill. The City Council voted 8-1 to oppose it, the Human Relations Commission voted unanimously to oppose it, the News & Record came out in opposition, and the Greensboro Police Department has spoken out against it.

Yet on Wednesday, Oct. 28, Gov. Pat McCrory is expected to travel to Greensboro to sign HB 318

into law. Advocates consider this is an insult to the city, and to immigrants and poor people across North Carolina.

“We embrace and celebrate the contributions that immigrants have made to

our state and urge our policymakers to expand -- not restrict -- ways for immigrants to participate in mainstream society. Rather than passing harmful legislation, we urge our legislators to adopt inclusive

measures like tuition equality and drivers’ licenses for all NC residents in order to uplift and strengthen our state as a whole,” Khamala said.

College football season is in full s w i n g .

Touchdowns Guest and first Columnist downs are being made all across the country by both favorites and underdogs.

First-time freshmen have stars in their eyes as they are seeing the big difference between high school football and college football.

Football teams at all divisional levels are trying to win championships and reach bowl games. By now some teams have an idea about how their season is going to turn out.

Fans are tailgating and season ticketholders are enjoying every game.

The weather is perfect for football, and we want more of it.

Each year college football writers and pundits put out a list of players and teams that we should watch. Of course, if you watch a lot of Division I football, you will hear the names Ohio State, TCU, Alabama and LSU. One player that has garnered a lot of national attention is Leonard Fournette, a running back for LSU. He is in his sophomore season there after having a terrific first year. ` Some say that St. Augustine High School has long been a football powerhouse in the state and has sent its share of players to both college and to the NFL. They have also had some of their games televised by ESPN. So Leonard Fournette has followed a number of great studentathletes from this venerable high school.

Leonard Fournette has not disappointed the Tiger faithful this year. LSU is undefeated and Fournette is running over, around and through would-be tacklers.

For example, during a three game stretch, he was averaging over 200 yards per game. Usually averaging 100 yards per game gets you noticed but Fournette has taken it to a whole new level.

Recently, LSU played the University

of South Carolina in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, because of flooding and hurricane conditions in Columbia, South Carolina, home of USC. Leonard Fournette rushed for 158 yards in LSU’s victory over South Carolina. All of the monetary proceeds went to the hurricane relief fund set up in South Carolina, which was under a state of emergency.

What happened immediately after the LSU-USC game was one of the most poignant and heart-warming moments you will ever see at a college football game.

Just as the televis i o n reporter was getting ready to interv i e w Fournette about the v i c t o r y, he pulls out a prep a r e d statement a n d begins to read it.

In the statement, he expresses his empathy and deep concern for the citizens of the state of South Carolina because of the hurricane and the mass destruction that it has brought. Fournette goes on to state that he fully understands what they are going through because of what he, his family and the city of New Orleans went through with Hurricane Katrina.

The NCAA has approved Leonard Fournette’s plan to auction off his No. 7 jersey that he wore in the game.

I was surprised. For him to think of the plight and perils of others when cheers and accolades are coming his way was an act of unquestionable maturity and sensitivity.

As a nation, we are our brother’s and sister’s keeper. Leonard Fournette used the aforementioned statement in a meaningful and purposeful way.

Sometimes college student-athletes only think about the final score. After all, in sports competition, you only win or you lose. There is no gray area. So our hearts become full when we see a young man like Leonard Fournette who sees life’s big picture.

In order for Fournette to show that kind of love to people that he has never met, you can tell that his family and

“Fournette’s star began to rise when he was a stellar running back for St. Augustine High School in New Orleans, Louisiana.”

Leonard Fournette so that is why the term “student-athlete” friends love him.

I have never met Leonard Fournette, has such a strong meaning.

Leonard Fournette has a bright future yet I believe he has exemplary character.

This attitude of caring demonstrated by at LSU and at the professional football him after the game was molded and level as well. However, his future as a carshaped by his family at home. The teach- ing and productive person is even brighter.

Let us cheer for Leonard Fournette on ers and coaches at St. Augustine High School further crafted it.

Mayor Allen Joines speaks to members of the press and community during a press conference on Tuesday, Oct. 26. Joines announced that Winston-Salem and Forsyth County have reached their goal of ending veterans’ homelessness.

Homelessness ends in city and county among veterans, mayor says Veterans Tracy Bradford and Robert Worley talked about their experiences with the Veteran’s Housing Network and other programs during a press conference at City Hall on Tuesday, Oct. 26.

BY TEVIN STINSON THE CHRONICLE

The fight against homelessness in Winston-Salem and Forsyth County received some good news earlier this week.

Less than one year after making Winston-Salem a member of the Veterans Housing Network challenge of ending veterans’ homelessness in the area, the city and county has reached their goal.

The initiative, which is organized by the National League of Cities, challenged municipalities around the country to end veteran homelessness by the end of 2015. Mayor Allen Joines was the first mayor in North Carolina to sign up for the challenge.

He announced that Winston-Salem and Forsyth County had met the challenge of ending veteran homelessness.

“We wanted to wait until it was official,” said Joines. “We actually received confirmation on Oct. 6 that we had met our goal.”

Winston-Salem is the first city in North Carolina to meet the challenge.

Matthew Doherty, executive director, confirmed that the city and county had met the U.S.

Interagency Council’s mark. Resources are now in place to rapidly find permanent housing for anyone identified as a homeless veteran.

During a press conference at City Hall, Joines said ending veteran homelessness in the area would not have been possible without the help of a number of partners. Those agencies included the United Way of Forsyth County, Goodwill Industries of Northwest North Carolina, The Salvation Army, North Carolina Housing Foundation and the Veterans Administration.

“There’s an old African proverb,” Joines noted, “that says when enough spider webs come together, you can tie down a lion,” he continued. “We had a lot of spider webs here to tie down this lion.

“Having these partnerships have really been a game-changer for us.”

The city of WinstonSalem began tracking the number of homeless veterans in 2007. At that time, 15 percent of all homeless people in the area were veterans. By 2014 that number had dropped to 8 percent.

Veteran Tracy Bradford said she was grateful for all the generosity shown by the United Way, Salvation

Army, and a number of other programs offered throughout the city.

“I’ve been the recipient of many, many blessings from all these programs,” she said. “I just thank God for all the people that work hard to help veterans like myself.”

Bradford reminded those who attended the press conference that homelessness can happen to anyone at any time.

“In 1986, I worked for a company that had the third most assets in the nation,” she said. “I never thought I would be homeless but it happened, and it can happen to anyone.”

“Through this process, I have gained a lot of knowledge about people in this industry who are willing to help anyway they can.”

Although the mayor was excited to have met the goal, he said ending veterans’ homelessness is just a small part of the city’s ultimate goal of ending all chronic homelessness.

“This is a great milestone for our community, that we can say proudly that we have ended veterans’ homelessness, but we will not stop here,” he said.

“We will continue this fight until we have put and end to all homelessness in the area.”

Former NBA star helps Hanes celebrate Champion Day T H E C H R ON I C LE

Jalen Rose, sports analyst for ABC/ESPN, hosts the Champion Day fashion show at the HanesBrands headquarters in Winston-Salem on Friday, Oct. 9.

BY TEVIN STINSON THE CHRONICLE

Former Michigan great Jalen Rose, one of the coveted “Fab Five,” introduced new brand apparel to more than 200 Hanesbrands employees.

The retired NBA star turned-sports-analyst made a stop at the Hanesbrands headquarters here to host the Champion Brand Fashion Show.

He spent 13 years in the NBA. However, he is best known for being on the first team in NCAA history (1991) to start five freshmen.

During his visit, Rose said he started working with Champion because the brand is well known and has been making quality products for years.

Since 1919 Champion athletic wear has offered a full line of innovative ath-

letic apparel for men and women. Hanesbrands athletic wear focuses on performance, lifestyle, and team athletics.

The company has been credited with inventing the sports bra, cotton football practice jerseys, reversible T-shirts and hooded and reversed-weave sweatshirts.

“Champion is a legendary brand,” said Rose.

He also said that he has always been a fan of the brand.

During “Champion Day,” employees took advantage of discounted shopping opportunities, food trucks, music and a live artist. They also were able to get a peek at Champion gear that is only sold in other countries.

H a n e s b r a n d s activewear president John

Marsh said he was excited to have Rose host the fashion show.

“We are extremely excited to have Jalen a part of Champion Day and host our first fashion show,” he said. “Jalen’s successful career embodies Champion’s commitment to authentic and innovative apparel.”

After the event, Rose held a meet-and-greet session, signing autographs

and taking photos with employees.

A number of employees talked about how they felt about Champion Day. “This event was a great idea,” attendees expressed.

“Events like this make you enjoy coming to work. It lets us employees know that the work we do doesn’t go unnoticed.”

“Between May 1, 2007 and October 2, 2014, Bryan Thompson did not return the assets that he took by fraud from Mary Thompson valued at $1, 486, 415.49,” attorney Alston alleges in the estate’s Oct. 20 lawsuit.

The suit seeks compensatory and punitive damages from, “… the Clerk’s bond in the amount of all property value that [the ward] lost due to Bryan Thompson’s acts and the regulatory failures of the Clerk of Courts in an amount that exceeds $25,000.”

The lawsuit also seeks compensatory and punitive damages from two insurance companies on the bond issued to protect

Mary Thompson’s assets as required by law; and two other attorneys for their alleged roles in what the suit maintains was a case of fraud.

Finally, the suit seeks all of Mary Thompson’s assets returned to the estate, and to hold attorney Bryan Thompson liable.

Energy assistance programs on radar

Delta Arts Center to feature works by Gastonia native

A10 OCTOBER 29, 2015

BY TODD LUCK THE CHRONICLE

U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ (DHHS) Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) annually helps low income individuals with their bills related to heating and air conditioning in the summer.

U.S. Rep. Alma Adams (N.C. District 12) announced that the DHHS has released $77.7 million to help North Carolina families stay warm this winter.

Adams was among 75 members of Congress last week who sent a letter to DHHS urging swift release of the funds. In total, more than $3 billion was released nationwide.

“This is great news for the more than 220,000 North Carolinians who rely on energy assistance programs to keep warm during the winter and cool during the summer,” Adams said in a release. “No one should have to choose between heating their homes or feeding their family. This announcement comes just in time for the winter weather season.”

During the 2015 fiscal year, $3.35 billion in LIHEAP funds were released. In the 2014 fiscal year, 6.6 million households got heating assistance and more than 1 million households got cooling assistance from LIHEAP. In North Carolina, the program is known as LIEAP (Low Income Energy Assistance Program) and those in need locally apply for the assistance though The Salvation Army of Winston-Salem.

The nonprofit takes applications for both LIEAP and the federally funded Crisis Intervention Program, which provides heating and cooling assistance for those in emergencies.

Households that apply for LIEAP don’t need to be in an emergency. It provides a one-time payment to vendors to help with heating bills. Starting Dec. 1, seniors age 60 and over or a disabled person receiving benefits through the Division of Aging and Adult Services (DAAS) can apply for LIEAP. Beginning Jan. 1, all other households can apply.

They need to meet an income test, have reserves at or below $2,250, be responsible for their heating bills and have at least one U.S. citizen or non-citizen who meets the eligibility criteria.

To make an appointment, applicants should call the Salvation Army Emergency Services Office on Cleveland Avenue once LIEAP begins. Applicants will need to bring documents proving their identity, income and assets of those living in the household. The program runs through March or until funds run out.

Salvation Army Director of Social Services Tashina Oladunjoye said the program is so heavily used that The Salvation Army adds extra hours and staff in January to help with the requests for heating assistance because the agency can get hundreds of calls a day for utility assistance. She said the LIEAP assistance ranges from $100 to $300 toward a household’s heating bill.

“We have individuals who are the working poor – individuals who work every day, they work long hours and they still cannot meet ends, they can’t get their bills paid on time or there’s lots of overdues,” she said. “So this helps them.”

The Salvation Army Emergency Assistance Office is located at 901 Cleveland Avenue and can be contacted at 722-8721.

Winston-Salem State University (WSSU) student Marquise Gaddy, a freshman from Charlotte, suffered a spinal cord injury while performing a tackling drill during practice on Sept. 23.

The Winston-Salem State University Foundation has established the Marquise Gaddy Fund in an effort to support Gaddy, who plays the safety position, and his family with expens-

es incurred as a result of his injury.

Contributions can be made to the Marquis Gaddy Fund at any BB&T branch payable to BB&T (Memo: WSSU Foundation Marquise Gaddy Fund) or mailed to: BB&T 2601 New Walkertown Road Winston-Salem, NC 27101 For more information, contact Ryan D. Murphy at 336-773-1114. Contributions to this

When Gaddy’s WSSU teammates took to the field on Saturday, Sept. 26, every player wore a decal featuring the number 28 in honor of Gaddy. To show support for Gaddy, the WSSU Athletic Department decided to add his number to all the helmets. The decals were worn on the back of the Rams’ newest helmet, which features a Ram on one side and an outline of the state on the other.

Mount Tabor regroups, tops Parkland in triple overtime Mount Tabor's Deanothy Black (in white) makes the hit on Parkland's Cam Register as Timar Jackson (57) follows the play.

BY CRAIG T. GREENLEE FOR THE CHRONICLE

Nobody could have predicted what transpired between Mount Tabor and Parkland in JV football last Thursday night. The two teams battled to a stalemate after four quarters of regulation play. But it was the resilient Spartans who finally prevailed with a heart-stopping 22-16 victory in triple overtime.

Mount Tabor (5-3) delivered the eventual game-win-

ner on Thomas Brabham's 5-yard touchdown pass on third down to Jalan Moore on a fade route in the right corner of the end zone. Parkland attempted to come up with the equalizer, but fell short when Cameron Payne of the Spartans intercepted a Cam Register pass in the end zone to seal the win.

“What a game this was,” said Coach Tiesuan Brown of Mount Tabor. “I am so thankful for our defense. Parkland came at us strong, but we were able to keep them off the

board in the second half. This was a great team win for us.”

The final minute of play in regulation provided more than enough anxiety and suspense for the crowd on hand at Deaton-Thompson Stadium. Mount Tabor appeared to be in excellent position to secure the win in the closing seconds, but the Mustangs had other ideas.

Perhaps the most memorable aspect of this contest was

Reeling Bobcats looking to Mustangs show plenty of finish season with a flurry positives in turnaround

BY CRAIG T. GREENLEE FOR THE CHRONICLE

After starting the season in rapid-fire fashion with three consecutive wins, Glenn's JV has gone in reverse and hasn't been a pretty sight. The Bobcats have lost five games in a row.

“It's not that we're getting blown out,” said first-year coach Steve Herring of Glenn. “We just haven't made enough plays on offense and defense to win ball games.”

That's precisely what happened in Glenn's most recent outing – which ended in a 28-18 loss to Northwest Guilford last

week. Down by nine points in the fourth quarter, Jaden Sutton of the Bobcats scored on a 12-yard run to trim the Vikings lead to 21-18 with seven minutes left to play.

Northwest Guilford responded with a time-consuming scoring drive, which put the game out of reach.

With two games remaining in this season, Parkland's junior varsity has yet to crack the .500 mark. That doesn't mean that the 2015 campaign should be considered a wash. With two more wins, the Mustangs will reach the break-even point.

That's quite a different scenario from what has happened in recent history.

Entering this season, Parkland (now 3-5) had just two victories in the 27 games it had played over the previous three years. If what the JV team has accomplished up to now is any indication, it's clear that there's

the bizarre three-play sequence that forced OT. Here's what happened.

With less than five seconds left to play, the Spartans Noe Jimenez lined up for a 28-yard field goal, which was blocked by Parkland's Savion Hayes.

The Mustangs were penalized for being offside, which gave Jimenez another shot, this time from 23 yards. Hayes smothered the kick again, but his team was flagged again for another offside infraction.

On the third try, this one from 19 yards out, Hayes came through with his third block and teammate Devon Rucker picked up the loose ball and ran 55

yards before caught from behind by Payne of Mount Tabor. Rucker was tackled around the Spartans 20yard line as time ran out to end the fourth quarter.

“This game was all about finishing and that's something that we'll continue to work on,” said Coach Lamont Atwater of Parkland. “This was the best that we've played all season. This team is proving that it can come together. With this loss, I look at our defense. If we don't shut them out, then we don't win.”

In the first overtime, the Mustangs seized the momentum right away when Blake Schutt stopped Mount Tabor's Rodnique Godwin for no gain and forced a fumble, which was recovered by Parkland. Lee

Mount Tabor managed to regroup in the second half. Late in the third quarter, Godwin scored on a two-yard touchdown run and Brabham threw a pass to Moore for the PAT to cut Parkland's lead to 16-8. Six minutes later, Brabham fired a 9-yard scoring pass to Zyquez McMillian and then connected with Dashawn Jones on a PAT conversion pass to tie the game at 16-16 with 11:01 to go in the fourth quarter.

This recent victory could prove to be costly for the Spartans in the closing weeks of the season. Both of their starters at running back were unable to finish the game.

55 seconds left to play.

“Once we scored and were down by just three, we needed a stop to give ourselves a chance to win,” said Herring. “We didn't get the stop and they kept the ball for almost five minutes. By the time our offense gets back on the field, it just wasn't enough time for us to overcome a 10-point lead.”

A rash of injuries to key personnel hasn't helped Glenn any. Over the course of the season, the Bobcats have had several starters who have been sidelined for varying lengths of time.

In the meantime, Herring has been forced to move several players to different positions.

In the process, the offense has gone through a transformation. Earlier in the year, the passing game was an integral part of the attack. Because of the shortage of healthy bodies, Sutton (kick return specialist) and Tahliek Garnes (cornerback) have stepped up as the Bobcats primary ball carriers.

Over the past two

Herring

weeks, Tavis Garlington has established himself as the starter at quarterback after being the back up for most of the season. Even though the Bobcats have become a run-first offense, Garlington has a talented group of receivers to work with in Jaquan Sanders, Jordan Ivester, Joshua Cranford and Christen Wilson.

“Tavis has had the hot hand lately,” said Herring.

“Not only is he playing within the system, but he's getting the ball out quickly and he's getting better at reading the defense. But most importantly, he has avoided throwing interceptions and that's been a huge help.”

The defense, which has carried Glenn all season, has endured some trying

times. Due to the team's problems with turnovers and the inability to sustain scoring drives, the Bobcats tend to wear down, especially in the fourth quarter.

Even so, this unit has gotten stellar play from Alpascal Reaves, James McIntyre and Kalill Rogers, who split time between playing on the line and outside linebacker.

With two games left on the schedule (at home against High Point Central tonight and next week at Ragsdale), Herring is confident that Glenn can rediscover its collective groove.

“It's been a while since we've been able to put it all together from start to finish,” Herring said. “We'll play two or three good quarters, but that's just not good enough for us to get over the hump.

“We're looking to end this skid and finish up on a positive note. We have some good times and some frustrating times. This team doesn't always execute the way it should. Whether we win or lose, there's one thing I can promise you about this group. Every one of our guys goes out and gives it all they have for 48 minutes.”

their own in a fiercely contested game that could have ended in victory instead of defeat.

On a scale of 1-to-10 with 10 being the highest mark, Atwater gives his team a rating of 8 at this juncture. “We're coming along, he said. “On the other hand, we're no where near where I thought we'd be at this time.”

Against Mount Tabor, the Mustangs got solid production from their rushing attack with plentyof help coming from linemen Isiah Greene, Taylor Hickman and Blake Schutt. The backfield showcased a nice blend of power and speed with running backs Lee Kpogba, Devon Rucker and Jacque Roseboro.

Of the three, Roseboro is the most elusive when he's able to operate in space. Kpogba and Rucker are punishing runners who do not shy away from contact. Rucker has better than average speed and Kpogba has that rare combination of brute strength and breakaway speed to go the distance from anywhere on the field.

Photos by Craig T. Greenle

One feature of Parkland's offense that's sure to be refined is its version of the Wildcat formation. In this set, the quarterback comes out of the game and Rucker takes direct snaps from center.

It's pure power football.

At quarterback, starter Tyrone Barber gives Parkland a viable passer who can successfully attack opposing secondaries. But Barber has to stay healthy in order to keep the Mustangs from becoming too dependent on rushing the football. With the threat of a passing game, defenses can't totally gear their efforts to shutting down the run.

The defense, which has continued to improve, is the prime strength of Atwater's team. As a group, they played very well against the Spartans in defeat. With Kpogba, Brian Hollman, Andrew Grant and Savion Hayes roaming the secondary, the Mustangs will be difficult to throw on, especially as Sisa Dreher and Archer Smith continue to blossom as fierce pass rushers.

Joseph McMillian shows much promise at linebacker.

“At Parkland, we have the players who have the talent and skills and they're knowledgeable about the game,” said Atwater. “In the past, the difference between us and other schools has been what we have in terms of our weight room. We've improved a lot in that area and now, the results are beginning to show.”

Since Parkland's junior varsity represents its varsity future, there's every reason to believe and expect that it won't be too long before the Mustangs return to the prominence they reached in years past. Will that happen overnight?

Maybe so, maybe not. In assessing the results so far, it's most likely that the Mustangs rise to the upper echelons of the Central Piedmont 4-A Conference will happen sooneraz rather than later.

“I won't say that Parkland is all the way back just yet,” said Coach Tiesuan Brown of Mount Tabor. “But they're definitely taking the right steps.

If teams still feel like they can go to sleep against Parkland, they're going to find themselves in a lot of trouble.”

Basketball teams from across the state will compete

BY TEVIN STINSON THE CHRONICLE

Since opening its doors in 2004, Winston-Salem Preparatory Academy (W-S Prep) has been known as one of the best basketball programs in the area.

Last season marked the fourth year in a row that the Phoenix played for the Class 1-A championship.

Although the regular season is not set to begin until the end of November, head coach Andre Gould announced that on Nov. 7, the Phoenix will host the 5th annual Hoop Cities Jamboree.

The jamboree is a showcase event that will bring together some of the state’s best basketball programs. In past years, the gym has been packed with basketball fans, hoping to get a glimpse at some of the young talent the state has to offer.

This year’s tournament will feature 12 teams, including schools from Charlotte, Durham and Spencer. Besides W-S Prep, the teams competing in this year’s jamboree will be :Glenn High School,

since 2004, is confident that all the games during the tournament will be competitive and exciting.

“This will be a great day of preseason basketball,” said Gould. “There will be a lot of talent in the gym all day.”

Since it is a preseason tournament, rules for the jamboree will be different than a regular season game.

Instead of playing four quarters, the games during the jamboree will be played in two 20m i n u t e halves with a running clock that will only be stopped during the last minute of each period during dead balls.

Earlier this month, the official schedule for the tournament was released.

Games will begin at 9 a.m. and will continue until 8 p.m. Each team will play two games each.

Admission into the 5th annual Hoop Cities Jamboree will be $5, and concessions will be sold throughout the day.

For a complete schedule and more information about the Hoop Cities Jamboree, contact Andre Gould after school hours at Winston-Salem Preparatory Academy, 1215 N. Cameron Ave.

With the victory, WSSU improves to 4-4 overall, 4-1 in the CIAA and 30 in the Southern Division, while the Blue Bears fall to 3-3 overall, 2-3 in the CIAA and 2-1 in the Southern Division.

The Blue Bears would get the ball first, but the Rams defense was stout early, and after a quick three and out,

the Rams offense would get their first possession.

Winston-Salem State would take the ball and would march 70 yards in 11 plays, with the big play coming on a Rod Tinsley Jr., to Rashan Williams 46 yard pass and catch. Though the drive would stall, Will Johnson would connect on a 27-yard field goal to give WSSU the early 3-0 lead.

WSSU would push their lead to 60 with 3:40 left in the first quarter, when Will Johnson would connect on his second field goal, this time from 22 yards out.

Midway through the second quarter, the Rams would expand their lead to double-digits, as WSSU would complete their longest drive of the season, a 10 play, 93 yard drive that

would take 4:28 off the clock. The scoring play of the drive came on a third down and nine from the LC 11yard line. Rod Tinsley Jr. would find Eric Williams in the end zone for an 11-yard touchdown, giving WSSU a 13-0 lead.

The Blue Bears would answer back late in the quarter, when quarterback Drew Powell would score from two yards out to cut the Rams lead to 13-7 at the half.

The Rams would take the second half kick and would meticulously march down the field picking up first downs and moving the chains. With 9:38 left in the quarter, Rod Tinsley Jr. would find Marcel Caver Jr. for a nine-yard touchdown pass to push the Rams lead back to 13, at 20-7.

BY TIMOTHY RAMSEY FOR THE CHRONICLE

When the Forsyth County Missionary Union met for its monthly meeting, it was full of questions.

The highlight of the meeting was the Bible Bowl, which matched youth from different churches against one another in a Jeopardy-style quiz game.

The winner of the event on Sunday Oct. 25 at Friendship Missionary Baptist Church was the host church of Friendship Baptist.

The Bible Bowl has been an annual part of the Missionary Union for over 25 years.

“It was a great event, everyone took a positive message, and learned

a lot about Jesus,” said Youth Missionary President James Huntley.

He said he wanted to become president of the Youth Missionary Union “because it’s a positive organization that deals with kids my age and younger, and I’ve seen the officers and they seem to be great role models for youth trying to make a positive change in the world.”

Joycelyn Johnson, who was the moderator for the Bible Bowl said, “We looked at ways to try and encourage the young people to do team building, assist with conflict resolution, and more importantly to help with the opportunity to do religious Christian development.”

The seniors competed in their own Bible Bowl competition. Mars

Hill Baptist Church was the winner.

“We encouraged the seniors to work along with the young people and to get them to think outside of the box.” said Johnson about the Bible Bowl.

The Missionary Union is made up of individuals from Baptist churches throughout Forsyth County. The union fellowships with one another, and are involved with missions within individual churches and the community, as well as philanthropic endeavors throughout Forsyth County. They are also connected with the Lott Carey Foreign Mission, which held its annual convention at the Koury Convention Center in Greensboro in August.

Huffington Post columnist premieres local radio program

Syndicated columnist and author Byron Williams will bring his political and social commentary to WinstonSalem State University’s WSNC 90.5 FM radio weekly every Tuesday at 7 p.m. in a new hourlong program called “Public Morality.”

Williams, who recently moved to Winston-Salem from San Francisco, writes for the Huffington Post, is the author of “1963: The Year of Hope and Hostility,” and is a contributing columnist to a local newspaper.

“We will talk about issues that matter on this show,” said Williams. “One of the first topics will be North Williams Carolina’s history of eugenics and how the state is making amends for the men and women sterilized against their will in the mid-20th century.”

Triad McDonald’s launches All Day Breakfast Menu All 91 locally owned and operated Triad McDonald’s restaurant locations will begin inviting customers to experience McDonald’s breakfast all day. All Day Breakfast is the number one request from customers. In fact, more than 120,000 people tweeted McDonald’s asking for breakfast throughout the day in the past year alone.

“We are proud to answer an ongoing request from our fans,” said Triad McDonald’s Owner/Operator, Johnny Tart. “We appreciate and value customer feedback, and we’re looking forward to offering them the ability to enjoy items like our famous scratch made biscuits no matter the time of day.”

While breakfast would normally end at 10:30 a.m., the following menu items can be enjoyed along with McDonald’s World Famous Fries and other iconic favorites, such as the Big Mac and Filet-O-Fish despite the time of day: Bacon, Egg & Cheese Biscuit; Sausage Biscuit with Egg; Sausage Biscuit; Hotcakes with Sausage; Hotcakes; Sausage Burrito; Fruit ‘N Yogurt Parfait; Fruit & Maple Oatmeal; and Hash Browns (available breakfast items vary by location).

Cookie for a Cure Campaign benefits Susan G. Komen Northwest NC Susan G. Komen Northwest NC announced that Subway restaurants across the Triad area would participate in the Cookie for a Cure program. All October long, local Subway restaurants will serve a special raspberry cheesecake cookie and donate a percentage of those cookie sales, up to $6,000, to Komen Northwest NC. During the month-long program, local breast cancer survivors are being featured on a calendar – on display in participating Subway restaurants – sharing their personal stories of courage and hope.

“Our Faces of Breast Cancer survivors are thrilled for the opportunity to help promote Cookie for a Cure. Many from this group of survivors serve as our Ambassadors for an entire year. They are inspirational, committed and passionate fighters,” said Diana Parrish, executive director of Komen Northwest NC, which serves 11 counties and will be expanding to include an even greater area in 2016.

It has invested more than $5.7 million in local breast health and breast cancer awareness projects. Seventy-five percent of funds raised by Komen Northwest NC stay in the local community and the other 25 percent supports breast cancer research.

Wake Forest Law professor and alumni join group to cut crime, incarceration T H E C H R ON I C LE

B8 OCTOBER 29, 2015

SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE

Wake Forest Law Professor Kami Chavis Simmons, director of the law school's Criminal Justice Program, has joined more than 130 current and former police chiefs, sheriffs, federal and state prosecutors, and attorneys general from all 50 states to form Law Enforcement Leaders to Reduce Crime and Incarceration to urge for a reduction in both crime and incarceration. Wake Forest Law Alumni Walter Holton (JD '84), former U.S Attorney for the Middle District of North Carolina, and Ben David (JD '95), district attorney for New Hanover and Pender counties in North Carolina, are also founding members of the group.

"This is a critical time in our nation with respect to criminal justice reform," Professor Simmons said. "There is now widespread bipartisan support for major changes including alternatives to arrest and reforming mandatory minimum laws.

We are experienced current and former law enforcement officials who know that we can reduce mass incarceration and crime at the same time."

L a w Enforcement Leaders is a project of the Brennan Center for Justice at New York University School of Law. The New York Simmons Times wrote about the new group here and NPR featured the group on Morning Edition today.

The group's mission is: "As current and former leaders of the law enforcement community – police chiefs, sheriffs, district and state’s attorneys, U.S. Attorneys, attorneys general and other leaders – protecting public safety is a vital goal. From experience and through data-driven and innovative practices, we know the country can reduce crime while also reducing unnecessary arrests, prosecutions, and incarceration. We can also reduce recidivism and strengthen relationships with

communities. With the goal of building a smarter, stronger, and fairer criminal justice system, we are joining together to urge a change in laws and practices to reduce incarceration while continuing to keep our communities safe."

In 2015, Professor Simmons was appointed as a Senior Academic Fellow at the Joint Center for Political And Economic Studies. She has substantial practice experience and writes and teaches in areas related to criminal law, criminal procedure and criminal justice reform.

After receiving her J.D. from Harvard Law School, Simmons worked as an associate at private law firms in Washington, D.C., where she participated in various aspects of civil litigation, white-collar criminal defense, and internal investigations.

In 2003, she became an Assistant United States Attorney for the District of Columbia, involving her in a wide range of criminal prosecutions and in arguing and briefing appeals before the District of Columbia Court of Appeals.

Professor Simmons frequently makes presentations on law-enforcement issues

Children’s Museum of W-S awarded prestigious grant SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE

The Children's Museum of Winston-Salem (CMWS) has been awarded a federal grant of $150,000 by the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS). This grant, which must be matched, will support the development, prototyping, fabrication, and installation of an approximately 1,000square-foot theatre-themed maker space and associated programming, entitled “The Prop Shop”.

In addition to repurposing underutilized space in the museum into a permanent maker space exhibition and providing related programming, this project is the ideal collaborative opportunity to integrate the performance arts programming of Peppercorn Theatre at the Children’s Museum, and enhance current exhibits and educational programming.

Aligned with the Museums for America Learning Experiences category, “The Prop Shop” and related programming will support learner-driven experiences that engage children and families, school groups, and staff in open-ended, problem-solving processes, integrating experimentation and creativity.

As CMWS looks to incorporate theatre-based play, design, and innovation into its offerings, “The Prop Shop” exhibit will be built to serve as a theatrefocused maker space.

Maker spaces are hands-on learning environments to make and remake the physical and digital worlds.

These experiences foster experimentation, invention, creation, and exploration through design thinking and project-based learning. Embracing the theme of a technical theatre shop in this project, museum staff will highlight storytelling as a departure point for individual invention, therefore linking the learning goals of “The Prop Shop” with the rest of the museum.

Maker spaces are a fun and effective way for museums to broaden their educational role and impact within the diverse communities they serve. By jointly solving problems in settings like “maker spaces” and “tinkering studios,” parents and children become co-learners in a process that builds relationships, encourages communication, and sets the stage for the development of important executive function life skills such as focus, self-control, critical thinking, and taking on challenges.

The installation of the

new exhibit space and complimentary programming will demonstrate and reinforce the distinctive role CMWS plays as an educational institution, while strengthening the Museum’s relationship with the Winston-Salem community and surrounding counties.

“The process to receive IMLS funding is competitive and we are honored to have been selected by our peers for funding. This is our second IMLS grant and each funded project is just

one stepping stone towards furthering the Museum’s efforts to increase collaboration and partnerships, enhance exhibit and visitor experiences, and expand outreach to the larger community,” said Elizabeth Dampier, the Executive Director.

The Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) announced grants for 217 museum projects totaling almost $26 million. The museums were selected

from 583 applic a t i o n s requesting a total of about $74 million and were awarded through the highly competitive Museums for America and National Leadership Grants for Museums programs. Institutions receiving the awards are matching them with about $34 million in non-federal funds.
