New drug program for addiction at jail

W I N S TO N - S A L E M , N . C .

Volume 44, Number 47

By Todd luCk The ChroniCle

A new partnership between pharmaceutical company Alkermes and the Forsyth County district Attorney’s office will be offering drug-assisted treatment for addiction.

Forsyth County district Attorney Jim o’neil talked about the new program with Forsyth County commissioners at their briefing last week. it’s designed to help the large population with substance abuse

issues that ends up in the Forsyth County detention Center by offering them treatment instead of incarceration.

“As a society, we probably have evolved in terms of how we look at addiction and how we approach it in terms of combating it,” said o’neill.

The program has a case manager that screens inmates, looking for those addicted to heroine, opioids or alcohol. The dA’s office would review their cases to determine who

qualifies.

Those who qualify and agree to join would start 14 days after arriving at the jail, when they’d normally have their first court hearing. instead they’ll be given a naloxone tablet to make sure there’s no impaired substances left in their system. The next day they’ll be given a shot of Alkermes’ drug, vivitrol.

The once monthly shot is an opioid blocker used to help fight addiction. it’s a non-narcotic, so it can be administered in jail.

They’re held for observation for 24 hours after the first shot.

Then the patient is released to ArCA (Addiction recovery Care Association) for in-patient treatment or to daymark

recovery Services or insight human Service for out-patient service.

Probation and parole officers will also be checking on them. Those who successfully complete the program, which is expected to

take at least 12 months, will have their charges dropped. o’neill said he expects some relapses along the way, but is hoping for a high rate of success by the time partici-

it is estimated that each summer, children without a regular reading routine can lose one to three months of the reading skills they learned during the previous school year. in an attempt to remediate this issue in Forsyth County, for the past three years Bookmarks has partnered with Scholastic to host the Summer reading road Trip, a pop-up reading festival for children and families designed to promote summer reading.

This year's festival on Tuesday, July 17, gave young readers the opportunity to interact with some of their favorite characters, play games and enjoy sev-

eral activities, including reading giveaways and a prize wheel. Children's authors derrick Barnes, author of the “ruby and The Booker Boys” series; Jonathan Fenske, author/illustrator of “Barnacle is Bored,” and Allan Woodrow, author of “Class dismissed” were also in attendance, signing copies of their books. "it's amazing to be considered and recognized as one of the 27 cities that gets to host the festival," said Ashley Bryan, Bookmarks youth and schools coordinator.

"This provides a way for students to be engaged with other readers. i think seeing the authors and the

“For those familiar with treatment courts, this is an intensive program for the participants,” said Judge david Sipprell, who presides over the court. “it is not easy and as one of the participants told me last week, it’s hard enough that you sure don’t want to have to do this again.” it’s funded by an edward Byrne Memorial Justice

characters really bring it to life and makes reading more participatory."

After meeting Geronimo Stilton, the main character in Scholastic's book series “Geronimo Stilton World,” rising sixthgrader Farrell Hammond said what he enjoys most about the series is the adventures.

In the series, by Italian Author Edizioni Piemme, Stilton, a journalist and editor for the Rodent's Gazette, chronicles his various adventures, solving mysteries in various parts of the world.

"Meeting Geronimo Stilton, the greatest mystery solver I've ever known, was a great honor. I've admired his work for years," said Hammond. "I like every single book I've read from his works and I've loved every adventure I've read about."

Students can still join in the fun and sharpen their reading skills before the start of the new school year with the Scholastic Summer Reading Challenge, a free online reading program designed to rectify summer reading loss. Bookmarks is also hosting a free, Summer Reading Program that includes several activities at the bookstore located on West Fourth Street and other places in the community.

Assistance Grant, but that funding will run out by the end of the month. Funding to keep the court going is being held up by a lawsuit over the Trump administration trying to deny Byrne grants to state or local governments that it considers to be Sanctuary Cities or States that do not cooperate with federal immigration enforcement.

Until the legal dispute is settled, all funds for the program are on hold.

Byrne grants are used for law enforcement, courts, corrections, drug treatment and mental health programs nationwide.

Six veterans graduated from the program last week. There are 11 more in the program currently.

Program Coordinator Jemi Moore said there are seven more on a waiting list and several other veterans she’s assisting. She said that she’s dedicated to getting those currently enrolled through the program, even if she has to work as a volunteer, but the court will not be able to accept any others.

“That’s the disheartening part, that veterans who didn’t know about this program and need it won’t be able to benefit from it after the 31st,” said Moore.

N.C. Assistant Secretary for Veterans Affairs James Prosser, who personally congratulated each graduate, said that he’d see what could be done to preserve the program’s funding. Members of the Winston-Salem City Council are also looking into ways to continue the program.

Even with the program’s uncertain future, last week’s graduation was a celebration of the triumph of its participants.

Their keynote speaker was Harold Austache, a local attorney and former district attorney, who shared his struggles as a veteran.

He said after fighting in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, adjusting to civilian life was extremely difficult, but that he overcame Traumatic Brain Injury and a DWI to become a lawyer.

“When I got back, I thought that nothing in life would be tougher than the situations I dealt with there, but I was wrong,”

said Austache. ed:

The graduates includ-

*Scott Dasher, an Army veteran who served in the Afghanistan war and came home with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). He developed a drinking problem, lost his employment and ran afoul of the law. He’s now been sober 17 months and didn’t receive a single citation in the program. *Kevin Haskins, who served in the Army, and couldn’t keep a steady job and turned to alcohol to cope with his frustration.

He’s not only kept his sobriety in the program, but is now a self taught IT services provider with 37 employees. *Kenneth Williams, who’s had PTSD since serving in the Marines in the 1980s, but wasn’t diagnosed until 2015. He didn’t receive counseling for it until he became involved in Veterans Court. With his symptoms under control, he’s now thinking of returning to school to pursue his degree in human services. *Nicholas Wright, a

Navy veteran who served from 1974-1980. He had undiagnosed PTSD and depression, which led to his struggle with substance abuse. He has now maintained his sobriety for over a year. *William Foster Jr., an Amy veteran who served in the 1970s. He began abusing drugs after he left

the service. He eventually started selling drugs and stealing to support his habit. He’s maintained his sobriety for almost a year and now has a stable home life with his wife and children. He currently does car detailing and plans to open up a shoeshine parlor.

Foster credited God for his sobriety and said the

program has been a muchneeded blessing in his life.

He said it gave him the love and support he needed to make a change.

“I hope it continues, I really do,” said Foster.

“We really need it as veterans.”

Clerk of Court Susan Frye, who helped conceive the program with O’Neill, said that other programs she’s seen in other states use the drug in prison.

Offering a treatment pre-adjudication will make it a unique pilot program.

O’Neill said that the program brings both county and community resources together in a way that he hopes will decrease recidivism, reduce opioid addiction and lead to less inmates in the county jail.

BUSTA’S PERSON OF THE WEEK

Submitted photo

Randy Eaddy gives the commencement address at his alma mater, Furman University, on May 7, 2016.

BY BUSTA BROWN THE CHRONICLE

It's no secret to most that Randy Eaddy is a retired corporate attorney, longtime arts advocate and will serve as The Arts Council of Winston-Salem and Forsyth County’s new CEO and president.

This young man from Johnsonville, S.C., also spoke at his alma mater, to the Furman University Class of 2016.

He said: "I realize that interacting with people who appear to be different makes most of us uncomfortable and uneasy.

What will my friends think? How will they react to these unfamiliar other people? How will they react to me for inviting these other people? It is natural to want to avoid such discomfort and unease. But I submit to you that such avoidance will perpetuate a vicious cycle of misunderstanding, suspicion and distrust, and will add grease to the slippery slope that leads to disrespect, resentment, bigotry or even hate. You are prepared, Class of 2016, to take on that discomfort and unease, and to work to break its vicious cycle, without fear of losing your way."

That was just a snippet of the phenomenal commencement address Randy Eaddy delivered to his alma mater.

After reading the address, all I could say was ... “Wow!” I asked Randy Eaddy to tell me something most people don't know about Randy Eaddy.

"I love Shake. One of my aspirations is to see a revival of public awareness of an appreciation for Shakespeare."

Eaddy serves on the Board of Directors and Executive

Committee for the North Carolina Shakespeare Festival.

"Shakespeare’s work continues to be an extraordinary experience today, if people are inclined to give a look."

During our conversation, I love how Eaddy uses the arts to bring all people together.

"That's at the top of my list. If I'm not going to be able to keep my finger on the pulse of what the arts organizations need from us, and what the community needs of the arts organizations for them to be forth coming, I'm not going to be very successful."

Eaddy 's also looking forward to bringing his positive and exciting energy to his new staff.

"We already have a very smart and dedicated staff and I look forward to the collaboration. I'm excited about getting my arms around the day-to-day operations. As a corporate attorney I listen well, so I'm open to listen and learn from my new staff. I'm also very organized; it's is one of my greatest strengths, and I can communicate those things to other people. When you organize and plan systematically, it's easier to move forward," Eaddy said.

The new CEO and president of The Arts Council said this will be critical for his new position. The WinstonSalem community has been very supportive about the new leader of The Arts Council.

"I've been flattered by the number of people who have responded with excitement about the announcement. It's very inspiring, and I look forward to earning my way to that support being sustained," Eaddy said.

Eaddy said beyond financial support, which is very important to keep the Arts Council moving forward, "we

need the community expressing their recognition of how the arts and culture is impacting their lives." He said Winston-Salem already has a rich and diverse array of arts offerings.

"There's nothing new we need in that regard. What we do need is to continue to be doing things to make those offerings and experiences touch every corner of our community, so that we bring new people in to enjoy those experiences. Learning things they never knew before."

I decided to have a little fun, and asked Randy Eaddy which comedians make him laugh, "I grew up on Richard Pryor." Eaddy laughed and said, "If we said some of Pryor's content, the audience wouldn't be pleased." We both had flashbacks of some of Richard Pryor's stand-up.

We looked at each other and began laughing for at least 35 minutes. If you're reading this, I'm sure some of you are laughing as well. His list continued, "Pryor was a genius.

I like Eddie Murphy. “Coming to America” is still one of my favorite movies. I watch it. I really like Dave Chappell, Chris Rock, Kevin Hart and Bill Maher."

Go to The Chronicle’s YouTube channel to watch the rest of my interview with the new CEO and president of The Arts Council of Winston-Salem and Forsyth County.

He talks about their youth program, his personal passions, his childhood and how he got the bug to attend Harvard at an early age, and a lot more.

Keep vigilant: Election Day is Nov. 6

The Forsyth County Board of Elections has settled on early voting sites. Winston-Salem State University (WSSU) was not among the sites that were chosen. Many people are disappointed with the decision, and rightly so. Despite disparaging comments from the public, WSSU should have been chosen.

As community members speak out against the decision, we must remember Election Day, Nov. 6.

While early voting is promoted, Election Day counts, too. Are there any changes to those polling places?

The Elections Board has been reconfigured, thanks to the GOP legislature. In 2015, county voters had Fleming El-Amin to speak up for us on a three-person elections board. Now, there are four people on the board, two Republicans and two Democrats. This promotes gridlock.

In 2015, El-Amin objected when the plan for early primary voting was approved with 11 polling sites, not including WSSU. Two Republicans, including Stuart Russell, who is now chairman of the board, voted for the plan while Democrat ElAmin voted against it, vowing to submit a minority plan to the State Board of Elections for consideration. And he did submit the minority plan. The state board rejected it.

The Anderson Center was an early voting site assessable to students at WSSU from 2000-2012.

But in 2013, when the Republicans became a majority on the board, that changed. Advocates have been trying to make WSSU an early voting site again ever since then. But El-Amin is not on the board this year, serving as a county commissioner now. The two Democrats on the board voted for the sites without WSSU. Democrat Susan Campbell told attendees that they compromised because having the State Board decide the plan would’ve delayed all the needed preparations for early voting.

“Delaying the decision makes it more difficult for everybody to get the work done to make an efficient election,” said Campbell.

If the Democrats want to avoid delays, what else are we as voters facing? Are Election Day sites on the table? Voters should be vigilant and go to http://www.forsyth.cc/elections/default.aspx to keep up with what is happening with the Forsyth County Board of Elections. Some voters might want to consider becoming precinct officials. Those interested in applying should go online at the above website.

Applicants need to be county residents who are registered to vote, able to read and write and are of “good repute.” They cannot be running for office, be a manager or treasurer for a candidate, currently be an elected official or be an officer of a political party or organization. A precinct official can have served as a delegate at a political party convention. Precinct officials also can’t be relatives of political candidates or of other precinct officials at the same precinct.

The board has tackled early voting. We must make sure there are no adverse changes for Election Day.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

City council members call for funding for treatment court

more than the men and women who have served our country.

After hearing the moving stories of the graduates, and seeing the obvious effectiveness of this approach,

To the Editor:

We were among the local leaders attending the first graduation ceremony of the Forsyth County Veterans Treatment Court [last week]. We were shocked to learn that the current dysfunction in Washington has threatened this outstanding program.

Besse

Diversion of people from standard prosecution routes into treatment and counseling is exactly the kind of approach we need to expand, and no one deserves this opportunity

Adams

we agreed that this program is worthy of stop-gap funding from the City to ensure that the first Forsyth graduation ceremony is not the last.

We are reaching out to our colleagues on the city council and other local leaders. When federal or state leaders have forgotten how to cooperate, it’s time for local leaders to step up and ensure that the job gets done.

According to Justice for Vets, “One in five veterans has symptoms of a mental health disorder or cognitive impairment. One in six veterans who served in Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom suffer from a substance use issue.

“Research continues to draw a link between substance use and combat-related mental illness. Left untreated, mental health disorders common among veterans can directly lead to involvement in the criminal justice system. The Veterans Treatment Court provides an opportunity for defendants who have served in the military to get treatment for a mental illness or a substanceabuse problem over a period of time.

If they comply with treatment recommendations, prosecutors can voluntarily dismiss their criminal charges.”

Dan Besse, Winston-Salem City Council Member Denise “DD” Adams, WinstonSalem City Council Member

Note: On Friday, July 20, Besse and Adams issued the above statement regarding the financial struggle of the Forsyth County Veterans Treatment Court. Besse and Adams said that they would seek to have consideration of this matter placed on the August agendas for the WinstonSalem City Council’s Public Safety and Finance committee meetings.

They will also contact other Forsyth County leaders about joint cooperation in this effort.

Mentor the next generation to success Algenon Cash

Guest Columnist

Several years ago I created a summer internship program named “Developing Excellence” and recruited talented students from area universities to participate in a 10-week comprehensive program. I also routinely made time available to mentor students, which has been one of the most rewarding uses of my time since launching my professional career.

It’s funny how time demands can stop us from doing what we may enjoy most. The busyness of life caused me to discontinue the program a few years.

Recently, Wake Forest University invited me to speak with graduate students pursuing a finance career, and it reminded me how important it is that successful professionals make time to mentor the next generation.

Many people choose not to mentor students because they may not

understand the process involved, so use the following helpful tips when you have the opportunity:

1. Approach each student individually – Not all students are built identically, some may be extroverted, while others are more introverted, not to mention all students will come from a diverse background of experiences. Take time to fully evaluate yourself and understand your own learning and teaching style, then be sure your style aligns with the style of the mentee.

2.

Communicate expectations in the beginning – Once you’ve properly identified each other’s style, and then collectively set expectations for the mentoring process. Have a clear understanding of what you and your mentee would like to achieve.

Also be sure there are no hidden expectations. For example, your mentee may believe he or she will receive a job offer at the end of the process – if that is not the case, clarify up front.

3. Be genuinely interested – A mentor/mentee relationship must be

deeply personal to be effective. You can give advice to anyone, but when you truly know a person, then your advice can be more customized and contextual. Getting to know your mentee on a personal level will help you develop a stronger relationship that endures well beyond the scope of the mentorship.

Be an active listener.

4. Share your experiences openly – Often we enjoy telling stories about past successes, but avoid mistakes. Your mentee cannot truly learn the pitfalls of life with stories that always have a happy ending. They also need to hear about circumstances when things did not go according to plan.

5. Build your emotional IQ – Mentoring a developing professional not only requires mental intelligence, but quite a bit of emotional intelligence as well. Learn how to ask solid questions, read body language, stay open-minded, and control your emotional responses.

6. Celebrate achievements – If you’re an outstanding mentor, then you should witness your

mentee develop right in front of you. Don’t just be an observer, be a cheerleader. Encourage your mentee by acknowledging and overly celebrating milestone achievements in their growth and development.

7. Be a coach – The best coaches understand how to motivate their players to the next level. They don’t judge, they listen.

They don’t react, they respond. They help their players to plan properly and only give advice when absolutely needed – most coaches have the unique ability to help their players self-discover their own faults.

You’re already successful and outright amazing – find someone in the next generation and share a piece of yourself.

Contact me with questions and feedback, good luck!

Sometimes, you have to fight Rev. Paul R. Ford

Guest Columnist

“Sometimes, you have to fight.” That was the theme of a recent sermon by Bishop Todd Fulton, reminding us that that there are moments when the most holy and righteous thing to do is confront the enemy and pray for God’s favor. It is a lesson that our representa-

tive leaders need to learn.

The recent decision by the Forsyth County Election Board to approve a plan for Early Voting sites that excludes the Anderson Center at WSSU [Winston-Salem State University] was an outrageous betrayal of the interests of marginalized communities.

For weeks, I joined students and community leaders requesting a WSSU site for East Winston voters. The

objections to it were hollow but unsurprising, as efforts to suppress the votes of black and brown people, students, and the working poor are commonplace.

And yet, the two appointees representing the Democratic Party – an organization professing to be concerned with the interests of the aforementioned constituencies – would not muster the courage to unite and oppose any plan that excluded WSSU. Some will argue that defeat on this front was inevitable; that if the county board did not to agree to a plan, then the State Election Board would have voted WSSU down, anyway.

But sometimes you have to take a stand, and advocate vigorously for what is right regardless of what the ultimate outcome may be. We need to demand that members of the Election Board be selected directly by voters, so that they can be held accountable for this type of capitulation.

It is also time to hold our elected School Board

accountable, too. The mold at the Ashley School is poisoning our children and teachers, and the recent cancerrelated death of a former employee raises serious concerns that conditions there may actually contribute to people dying. The School Board would never let this continue if the students and staff affected were affluent and white.

While they find every excuse imaginable to not build another Ashley School NOW, our community should make it clear that if you won’t take responsibility for our kids and our teachers, then you do not need to be in authority over them.

Scripture teaches, “to whom much is given, much is required.” It’s time to take back what was given to them.

Sometimes you have to fight.

Who is the brother in the boat with George Washington?

Here is a photo of the painting “Washington Crossing the Delaware” by Emanuel Leutze, MMA-NYC, 1851

Oscar H. Blayton

Guest Columnist

We’ve all seen the painting.

George Gen. Washington strikes a heroic pose, standing in a boat being rowed through an icy river on his way to win the Battle of Trenton during the Revolutionary War. But take a close look at Emanuel Leutze’s iconic painting of Washington crossing the Delaware and you might wonder who is the Black man in the boat?

He is third from the left, just to the left of Washington’s right knee, and seemingly straining at an oar.

For years, people have this that speculated “Brother in the Boat” may have been Washington’s slave, Billy Lee, or that he was Prince Whipple, the well-known slave of Gen.

If you vote, you matter James B. Ewers Jr.

Guest Columnist

William Whipple of the New Hampshire militia.

The typical assumption is that the Black man in the boat had to be someone’s slave, the property of some noted white person.

But American history is like a jigsaw puzzle – there are many seemingly unrelated and disjointed pieces lying about and it is hard to make sense of them unless you look below the surface.

The mystery of the “Brother in the Boat” can be solved if we pull some of the seemingly disassociated pieces of this historitogether. puzzle cal “Washington’s Crossing,” a 2009 book by David Hackett Fischer, helps with this.

Working backwards from Christmas evening 1776 when Washington made his famous river crossing, we learn that the military unit in charge of manning the boats was the Continental 14th Regiment. It’s often identified as Glover’s Regiment, Marblehead the or Regiment because most of

The media has given America a sobering look at itself. For some who look like me, it is not a good look. Our traditional institutions are failing us. The attributes for a good life are at the top of the chart and we are at or near the bottom struggling to achieve the American Dream.

I don’t mind the struggle. In fact, I believe the struggle makes you appreciate what you have and what you have accomplished. America is in a limbo state of mind. In too many instances, we have lost our way.

Too many of our leaders don’t lead. They are simply placeholders. They are either afraid or take benign positions on issues of the day. We have people in federal positions who

its men hailed from the Atlantic coastal area Marblehead, around Massachusetts.

The majority of the men in this regiment, including their commander, John Glover, were also sailors. Because of this, the “Marbleheaders,” as they were called, were competent boatmen.

What we are rarely taught when we learn about the “Father of our Country” crossing the Delaware is that the Marblehead Regiment was a racially integrated regiment with many African Americans.

The New England Historical Society reports in an online article, “The Red, Black and White Men of Glover’s Regiment Take Washington Across the “a that Delaware,” Pennsylvania general was shocked by the 'number of negroes' ” in Glover's Regiment who were “treated as equals.”

Black and white seamen from Marblehead worked closely together when they went to sea.

I led a reading group of middle school boys and one of the books we read was “Gifted Hands: The Ben Carson Story.” The book inspired my guys to believe you could achieve despite your circumstances. Does Dr. Carson’s professional experiences qualify him to be secretary of Housing and Urban Development? That question is debatable depending upon what you think qualifies you for that position.

Political appointments are made, so we must live with them or do we have to live with them if we vote?

If there is one tool we the people have which makes evil go away, it is the vote.

If we want our voices to be heard, we must use our voting power. Right now, we have people in powerful offices simply because we didn’t vote. We didn’t vote in the last election because we thought our neighbor was going to vote, so we sat at home. But our neighbor thought we were going to vote, so he stayed at home.

So nobody voted and everyone stayed at home.

Now, we have a group of Washington officials who are callous, cold and insensitive. Who separates children from their families?

Who plays around with healthcare like it’s a beachball? How can a person become secretary of Education and have little to no experience in the field?

How can our President embrace Putin one day and then the next day walk it back?

These things happen when we take a day off and not vote. We must show up in record numbers at each election. Too many lives were lost and too many sacrifices were made for us to sit back and relax. If you and I want to see evil replaced by good, then we must find ourselves inside of a voting booth. Bad can’t exist when good overwhelms it.

Here are way too early predictions for NFL season

Thankfully, in a few short weeks, the NFL will begin training camp. Now is the time many fans are on cloud nine about their respective teams possibility of making it to the Super Bowl. Guys like myself like to predict all the division winners to see if our football knowledge is as good as we think.

As we saw back in February, the Philadelphia Eagles are the reigning Super Bowl Champions.

Me, being a Washington Redskin fan, that does not sit very well with me. The Eagles had a heck of a run through the playoffs and the Super Bowl with a back up quarterback. They also defeated Tom Brady and the Patriots in the big game so I will take nothing away from their run.

Repeating as champions in the NFL maybe one of the hardest things to do in sports. The last team to win back-to-back are the 2003-04 New England Patriots. Sorry to say but I don't see the Eagles repeating, let alone even making it back to the big game.

Here are my division winner predictions: *NFC East: As I stated above, I am a die-hard Redskin fan. Even with the addition of Alex Smith, some added weapons on offense and an improved defensive front the Skins do not have enough. This year my money on winning the division is on the New York Giants. The Giants suffered terrible injuries to major pieces last year. If they stay healthy, with the addition of stud rookie running back Saquon Barkley, Eli Manning could hold his third Lombardi Trophy at season’s end. *NFC North: This was a tough decision for me to make at first glance. I went back and forth between the Vikings and Packers, but in the end I will have to go with the Vikes.

The Vikings have a stout defense to go along with great weapons all along their offense. *NFC South: This may be one of the toughest divisions in all of football. The Falcons, Panthers and Saints all have what it takes to win the division. The Saints rebounded last year with a great run, aided by their tremendous rookie production on offense and defense. When it's all said and done, I think the Falcons will win the division due to their offensive firepower. Pairing rookie wideout Calvin Ridley with Julio Jones will be hard to stop. *NFC West: Hands down this was the easiest division to pick out of the NFC. The Rams were already a good team, but with the additions of Marcus Peters, Aqib Talib and Sam Shields to the secondary and Ndomukong Suh on the line, the Rams defense will be tough to run or pass on. The Rams also acquired wide receiver Brandin Cooks, giving quarterback Jared Goff a top outside threat. *AFC East: No surprise here. I fully expect the New England Patriots to win the division yet again. The Bills, Jets and Dolphins have too many question marks to challenge the See Ramsey on B2

Camps bring in record number of participants J U LY 2 6 , 2 0 1 8

BY TIMOTHY RAMSEY THE CHRONICLE

The Twin City Football Clinic just concluded its second camp of the year. This summer was a first for Twin City as they also served as a combine sight for the middle school Shrine Bowl game.

Rodney McKoy, Twin City clinic organizer, says he thought the clinic went well considering this was the first year the clinic has served as a combine sight. McKoy says there were plenty of things that could have gone wrong but did not, so that was a blessing.

“I was happy to see the turnout with this many kids and this was good to give the kids of WinstonSalem an opportunity to experience something dealing with the Shrine Bowl,” said McKoy. The North Carolina/South Carolina Youth Shrine Bowl began two years ago by Rodney Brewington and Marcus Wall as a fundraiser for the Shriners Hospital in Greenville, S.C. The game will pit the best middle school football players from each state against one another in a game this Dec. 29.

“The hospitals mission is to help kids that are born with birth defects or suffer from severe burns and they treat the kids regardless of their ability to pay,” said

The kids participated in a number of drills, including the 40-yard dash.

Brewington. “When we heard about that, we got behind that movement and felt like it was something we had to do.

“This game is identical to the high school game and we try to make it a quality experience,” he continued.

Brewington is familiar with the Triad and McKoy, as he is the former head coach for Ben L. Smith High School in Greensboro. He also spent time at Simon G. Atkins High School as well.

“I knew coach McKoy from the coaching ranks and when we got involved with the Youth Shrine Bowl, we heard about how his

camps have been growing and growing, so it was a no-brainer to come out and be a part of what he was doing,” he said.

McKoy says the idea for having the camp serve as a combine sight came from a parent.

Unbeknown to McKoy, the parent had already reached out to the representatives of the Shrine Bowl prior to even speaking with him.

Once McKoy had the opportunity to speak with the Shrine Bowl reps. he thought it would be a great idea to bring the combine there.

Success continues for ‘The League’ at W.R. Anderson

Marcus Wall, athletic director for the Youth Shrine Bowl, says he and Brewington personally visit every combine sight to get a firsthand view of the talent pool available for the game.

Wall and Brewington say this game is more than just football for them. They feel blessed they have the opportunity to show kids how important it is to give back along with giving them tools to be successful on the field.

“To be able to not only give back, but to teach the youth how to give back is so important,” said Wall. “It's really like each one, teach one for the most part.”

“These young men do well in the classroom, they do well in their communities and they do well on the field and giving back is a part of that as well, so it's just a phenomenal event we put on for them.”

McKoy says he is pleased with the growth of the clinic over the past three years. The Shrine Bowl has also made his camp an annual combine sight for their game as well. McKoy stated he would love to have some corporate sponsors in the future to allow the camp to become one of the premiere clinics in the Triad.

The League, sponsored by the Josh Howard Foundation, just wrapped up another successful summer basketball league at the W.R. Anderson community center. For the second year in a row, Wake up Pray up Get Buckets (WUPUGB), walked away as champions of the league after defeating Blue Chips 116-91 in the championship game last Tuesday.

Blue Chips came into the game undefeated at 9-0. They had been one of the toughest teams in the league all season, according to league commissioner Steve Nivens. On the other hand, WUPUGB were only 3-4 heading into the playoffs. As the defending champions, everyone knew they would be tough.

“The funny thing is that Wake up Pray up Get Buckets was only the fifth seed coming into the tournament, so that should tell you how competitive the league really was this summer,” said Nivens. “Every team from the fifth to the 10th seed were all three and four coming into the playoffs.”

Good Vibes and Blue Chips were the two unbeaten teams going into

the playoffs. Nivens stated that many fans projected Good Vibes as the eventual champion based on their play throughout the season. Nivens says it was a “toss up” as to who would win the game on championship night.

“I saw Wake up Pray up Get Buckets last year and I saw what they could do,” he says. “The way they beat the Number One seed, I knew they meant business. They had to play three games to win it all and they beat everyone by at least 20 points every game in the playoffs.”

The championship game was a back and forth battle early on. Nivens stated that once the second half began, WUPUGB began to take over the game. Mike Hughes led WUPUGB with 27 points and was named championship game MVP. “Those guys just came out and started making high percentage shots,” said Nivens. “They just had too much fire power in the end.”

Nivens says the league was better than ever this summer. He says the quality of the league as progressively improved from its inception one year ago.

Jones named WSSU head track coach

SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE

The Winston-Salem State University (WSSU) cross-country and track & field programs will enter a new era with the Friday, July 20, announcement of KayMarie Jones as the new cross-country/track & field head coach, WSSU says. Armed with enthusiasm and quality experience, Jones is well-prepared to take the reins of one of the top track & field programs in the Atlantic region.

"I share the university's commitment to prepare our students to enter to learn and depart to serve,” Jones said. “With this in mind, I will develop my student-athletes to grow physically, mentally and professionally while also competing at the highest level. I am grateful and humbled to work within the Department of Athletics at Winston-Salem State University and meeting the rest of my new Ramily."

Jones heads to Winston-Salem State after three years as an assistant coach at New Mexico Highlands University. She served as an assistant

coach with the Cowgirls. During her tenure with the program, she helped the program to finish ranked seventh in the nation last season with eight All-Americans.

The team also won a Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference ( R M A C ) Championship where her student-athletes Jones swept the women’s triple jump and won the women’s 200m dash, long jump, and the 4 x100m relay. For her efforts, Jones was honored as the United States Track & Field/Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) South Central Region Assistant Coach of the Year.

"I would like to thank [NMHU Athletics

Poetry slam contest draws youth to rec center T H E C H R ON I C LE

BY TIMOTHY RAMSEY THE CHRONICLE

For the third year in a row, the summer camp at the W.R. Anderson Community Center has held its Rhythm and Rhyme Poetry Slam. The purpose of the slam is to mentally challenge the students to go along with the physical components they are involved with on a daily basis.

More than 60 young people participated in the contest across three different age divisions. Three dance teams also graced the audience with their presence prior to the poets taking the stage. The event continues to grow each and every year.

“This was our third poetry slam and our youngest poet was 5 years old,” said Betty Wallace, poetry slam coordinator.

“We have seen overall growth in poets having a desire to express their ideas

and thoughts about what is going on in the world and it affects them daily regardless of age.

“Their poems were an expression of their solutions in a complex society,” she continued.

The children had worked on their poems for weeks leading up to the poetry slam. They were all asked to come up with original material with no outside assistance from parents or family members.

The three division winners were Chloe Moore, Donyea Staley and Noel Horton. The three young ladies delivered thoughtprovoking poems centering on issues plaguing our communties daily.

Chloe Moore, a repeat champion from last year, touched on black lives matter as the subject matter for her poem. She says it felt good to take home the top prize once again.

Skills for Biomedical Emerging Technology Applications (BETA Skills) will run through the National Center for the Biotechnology Workforce at Forsyth Tech. The three-year project began July 1. Emerging technician-specialists will also need to understand fundamental principles of electronics engineering, mechanical engineering, nanotechnology, optics, photonics, and process-control/quality assurance. The BETA Skills project will include annual meetings at Forsyth Tech including representatives from community colleges, employers, trade organizations, industry groups, researchers and other stakeholders. The project will deliver new, industry-driven skill standards that build on the work Read led for Forsyth Tech under a $15 million Department of Labor grant that ended in 2016. Other project deliverables will include new credit bearing and non-credit courses, certificates and an online database with information about emerging employment and educational opportunities. BETA Skills is the second NSF project through the National Center for the Biotechnology Workforce at Forsyth Tech for which Read is principal investigator. The first is the Bioscience Industry Fellowship Project.

“When I go to the beach with my mom, I always get sand in my eyes and we always get ice cream and stuff,” said Staley about what inspired her poem. “I thought it was fake when they called my name but I was happy when I realized it was real.”

Horton added, “My poem was about happiness and all of the things that make me happy. I never thought that I would win first place, but when I did I was even more happy and I am a winner.”

Wallace stated the content of the poems continues to become more socially conscience as the years go on.

The judges stated this was the toughest competition out of prior three slams because of the quality poems the kids delivered. Wallace stated she chose judges from a variety of backgrounds, even selecting a high school student this year as a judge.

“This competition was truly challenging,” she

said. “Students had more experience and had an opportunity to partner with and observe from their peers to better understand their strengths and weaknesses.”

Wallace says she always like to evaluate how the program went to make it better the next time around. She says it would be great if several recreation centers would collaborate together to have all of their campers compete in the event.

“That would have an

impact in improving student achievement when students return to school,” Wallace said. “It is my goal, to grow this event within our city with a citywide rhythm and rhyme poetry slam, and we are always looking for sponsors to assist with the cost of this event.”

Sunday School Lesson

Parable of the Great Dinner Lesson Scripture: Luke 14:15-24

By the end of this lesson, we will *Understand that God graciously invites unworthy people into His Kingdom. *Understand that we must answer God’s call in His way. *Know to share with others Jesus invitation to the great banquet.

Background: the time is A.D. 30 and the place is Perea. Jesus is at dinner with the Pharisees on the Sabbath. He uses the occasion to share with them that the rule of God is to extend care and concern for those in need. He also instructs on shame and honor. Jesus encourages humility and reveals that the esteemed will be brought low and the humble will be exalted. Jesus also stresses the importance of having your reward in heaven, noting that at the Lord’s Table no one can repay the host.

Lesson: Someone at the dinner proclaims the blessedness of those who will share the banquet of the kingdom. This presents a teachable moment for Jesus to enlighten them on who exactly will be in attendance at the heavenly banquet. Jesus paints the picture of preparation already completed for a great supper and invitations being extended (verses 15-17). The invitations however are rejected. The invited guest all offer excuses or reasons why they cannot attend. The excuses seem valid to those who make them, but the host doesn’t receive their rejections well. He is angered. They failed to take into consideration all the preparation that had been made on their behalf (verses 18-20). The host in response invites anyone who will accept the invitation, extending the invitation to hills and highways even outside the city. He invited people who were not likely to attend. The invitation was extended until all the room in the house was filled (verses 21-23). The esteemed few were not able to come, but the lowly were willing and responded in great numbers. Christ ends the parable saying the intended guests made the mistake of presuming on the relationship that demanded more response from them than they realized. The knowledge to be gained here is … God is able to extend His invitation, and He is also able to isolate people from the benefits of His grace (verse 24). The MacArthur Study Bible, UMI, UGP, and the Oxford Bible Commentary.)

For Your Consideration: Invitations are extended on every Sunday in most churches. Yet there are still those who do not respond or accept. How can we alert others to Jesus’ invitation to the Kingdom feast?

Life’s Application: In the Kingdom of God, there is hope in the table of fellowship which remains open to all.

We, as Christians are called to serve as messengers of God by sharing with others the invitation to His Kingdom and that table. Our Christian duties of humility and hospitality make us responsible to make room for others. Our churches should commit to finding and creating opportunities for the young, the old, the poor, the sick and the disenfranchised. “And the Lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.” (Luke 14:24)a

Local author tackles family and church hurt in new novel

SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE

Debut author, B.L. Elam, confronts church and family hurt in her newly released novel, “Stained Glass.”

To celebrate the book’s release, Elam will have a book signing event from 3-5 p.m. on Saturday, July 28, at Barnes and Noble book store, 1925 Hampton Court, Winston-Salem.

The brashness and arrogance of church leadership in the book will draw audiences into the storyline, yet allow them to see reallife parallels in today’s church. The main character takes the reader through a myriad of emotions that were the result of a sin-sick father, who was a well-respected pastor in a small North Carolina town.

“Church and family hurt Elam usually cause individuals to take alternative, destructive paths in life. It is my hope that ‘Stained Glass’ and my subsequent novels will help readers navigate through those vulnerable times in life without forfeiting God in the process,” says Elam.

As a church leader, Elam has seen some of the best and worst of humanity under the guise of Christianity. It is in that vein that she attempts to identify and rectify church disappointment and turn readers to the true and living God as their only source of redemption and forgiveness.

Elam lives in Winston-Salem with her family. She holds a BA in Mass Communication and a MA in Journalism from Regent University. Elam attends Greater Faith Empowerment Church, where the senior pastor is Tony L. Neal Sr.

“Stained Glass” is now available anywhere books are sold. For more information or to contact Elam, send an email to behousepub@gmail.com.

Elam is a part-time copy editor at The Chronicle.

Managing Editor Donna Rogers edited “Stained Glass.”
