Parents want answers about incident W I N S TO N - S A L E M , N . C .

Volume 43, Number 10

Family visibly shaken after seeing video of daughter

BY TEVIN STINSON THE CHRONICLE

After seeing video footage of their daughter being handled by a school resource officer, Sharon and Jeffery Rogers were visibly shaken. They want answers.

It has been over a week since Officer

Randall White handled 11th-grader Asahiah Rogers while trying to break up a fight at North Forsyth High School.

Yet, school administrators at North Forsyth have yet to return any of the family’s calls.

According to Sharon Rogers, administrators have not handled the situation in a professional manner. The school failed to initially tell Sharon Rogers that an officer with the Winston-Salem Police Department had appeared to have caused the injuries that needed immediate medical

attention.

“I never even got a call from the school when this first happened,” she said. “All those people there, someone should have called.”

According to reports, White saw an Rogers argument between Asahiah and another student escalate into a fight. When he tried

to break up the fight and take her into custody, Asahiah sustained a head injury.

Sharon Rogers said school administrators gave her the runaround as she made multiple attempts to see the video on the school’s cameras.

“They continued to give me excuses why they couldn’t let me see the video,” she said. “Cameras are everywhere in that school, I know they have it and have seen it, but they would not let me see it, which doesn’t make any sense to me.

Army PFC Frank Worley was reported missing in action

BY TEVIN STINSON THE CHRONICLE

Army PFC Frank Worley, an African-American, was buried with full military honors at Salisbury National Cemetery on Friday, Nov. 6.

Worley was a member of A Battery, 503rd Field Artillery Battalion, Second Infantry Division, which is part of Support Force 21.

He was reported missing in action on Feb.12, 1951, after his unit battled Chinese forces near Hoengsong, South Korea.

Years went by before Worley’s remains were found.

Then, in May of 1992, the North Korean government repatriated remains that had been recovered near Namjong-gu, North Korea.

After analysis of some skeletal and dental remains, DNA proved that they had found Worley. DNA also proved that Worley was killed during combat.

The remains were then airlifted to Winston-Salem on Nov. 6, where Frank Worley’s surviving brother Leroy

A Winston-Salem woman alleges that her late cousin, Napoleon Wilson, was taken against his will

by Forsyth County Dept. of Social Services (FCDSS), and physically abused

while the department served as his guardian. His family could do little about it, she alleges, because they were blocked from seeing him several times, and the Forsyth County Clerk of Superior Court held proceedings without informing them regarding his welfare.

There is still much to be known about the Napoleon Wilson case that is buried deep in the files of FCDSS – files that are not public record even years after his death. But this much is clear – as in a previous case The Chronicle has reported on involving the Forsyth Clerk’s Office, orders issued in an effort to establish a legal guardianship of Mr. Wilson by FCDSS, and uncovered by The Chronicle, were not legal at all, because they were not

For Sandra Jackson, Mr. Wilson’s cousin, the revelations are still painful years after his passing, because she believes that her elderly loved one, like many others, was targeted, and then trapped by a system where his legal rights were violated, his personal well-being and estate corrupted, and there was little Wilson’s family could do to advocate for him until the day he died.

And Ms. Jackson believes that this has been happening to many others, for many, many years.

Protesters demand minimum wage increase to $15 CHRONICLE STAFF REPORT

The national campaign “Raise Up $15” sparked protests all over the country on Nov. 10 demanding that the minimum wage rise to $15 at certain fast food restaurants like McDonalds, Burger King and KFC to name a few.

In downtown Winston-Salem at the steps of City Hall, Councilman Derwin Montgomery, other officials and protesters gathered for a press conference to discuss the minimum wage, as well as other personal matters.

“One year out from Election Day, we are joining together and standing up to take the country,” said Kim Porter, community organizer for N.C. Waste Awareness and Reduction Network (WARN). “Our elected leaders must work for working people, immigrants and people of color. We’re going to make our voices heard in this election.”

Other topics included: strengthen workers’ freedom to stick together in unions; make it easier to get quality home care and child care; ensure that black lives matter; and fight for comprehensive immigration reform.

Supporters of the Raise Up $15 movement hold signs representing their cause during a rally held outside City Hall on Tuesday, Nov. 10.

LJVM Basketball Classic to honor veterans

SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE

Wake Forest's season opener against the University of Maryland Baltimore County at 8 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 13, will also be the Demon Deacons’ third annual Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Classic.

The Deacons will honor active duty and retired military personnel at the game, including offering free tickets to veterans and their families.

To secure tickets, U.S. active personnel, veterans of any military service branch, retired military members or their family representatives should visit the designated table that will be set up in the LJVM Coliseum lobby the night of the game. Military I.D. must be presented to receive tickets.

In addition to providing free tickets, Wake Forest will recognize veterans and military personnel with

announcements during the game. This year’s game honors the 50th Anniversary of WinstonSalem's first and only Medal of Honor recipient, U.S. Army Sergeant First Class Lawrence Joel, who has long been recognized as a symbol of valor.

Joel, a medic during the Korean and Vietnam Wars, was awarded the Medal of Honor and the Silver Star on Nov. 8, 1965 for his heroism in a battle with the Viet Cong. Despite being wounded twice himself, he treated more than a dozen wounded soldiers and was credited with saving the life of one who had sus-

tained a serious wound.

Presented the Medal of Honor by President Lyndon B. Johnson in 1967, Joel became the first living black American to receive the medal since the Spanish-American War in 1898. Joel passed away in 1984 and is buried in Arlington National Cemetery. Wake Forest hosted the second annual LJVM Classic last season, defeating UNC Asheville 80-69 on Nov. 14, 2014.

UNCSA hosts conference for teachers of singing statewide SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE

The state chapter of the National Association of Teachers of Singing (NATS) will hold its fall conference and musical theatre student auditions on the campus of the University of North Carolina School of the Arts (UNCSA), Saturday, Nov. 14, on the campus at 1533 South Main St. in WinstonSalem.

UNCSA alumnus Jordan Brown will serve as master clinician. The conference is sponsored jointly

by UNCSA’s School of Drama and School of Music.

Local audiences will remember Brown, who graduated in 2007 from the School of Drama, as one of two Tonys in the School of the Arts’ production of “West Side Story” in 2007.

Since graduation, Brown has appeared in major productions at Chicago’s most prestigious theatres, and on network television in NBC’s “Bobby and Iza” and “Crisis” and USA’s “Sirens.” The last five years, he has made his home in Chicago.

At the conference, he will listen to a select group

of singers, offering guidance on audition techniques and repertoire choices.

Brown said he advises performers to practice a song as a spoken monologue. “Vocal skill gets you part of the way, but the rest is critical if you want to communicate a story in a compelling and specific fashion,” he said.

Brown said his training at UNCSA included techniques of singing, classical acting and movement, providing a solid foundation and confidence needed to audition and perform.

More than 300 teachers and students are expected to attend the conference, according to Janine Hawley, who teaches singing in UNCSA’s School of Drama.

Students will audition in several categories including middle school, high school, college, and continuing education/graduate levels. Hawley said 27 UNCSA students will participate.

Those who receive the highest scores on their auditions have the opportunity to advance to regional auditions at the College of Charleston (S.C.) in March.

For over 30 years, the Cleveland Avenue neighborhood in East Winston has been filled with abandoned buildings, vacant lots and public housing.

The Housing Authority of Winston-Salem (HAWS) says it’s making an effort to improve the neighborhood by building new housing.

But a number of people who live in the vicinity of the newest housing projects, Oaks at Tenth and Camden Station, say that although they are nice, they will never be seen as more than the projects.

“That space could have been used for something more productive and benefiting to the community,” said one resident. “They tear down one apartment complex and build another one. I don’t understand it.”

HAWS held a grand opening ceremony last week for Camden Station, located off East 12th Street. near Cleveland Avenue. It is a “step-up” from other housing locations recently constructed

by HAWS, the organization says.

Camden Station is built on the site of a previous apartment building that was known to breed criminal activity.

Each apartment comes complete with new kitchen appliances and wood-like floors.

During the Nov. 6 ceremony, Mayor Pro Tempore Vivian H. Burke said she would look into getting a two-bedroom apartment at

Camden Station for herself.

“I would stay here,” she said. “When people say there aren’t any nice places to stay in East Winston, they are wrong, and Camden Station proves that.”

With all that said, CEO Larry Woods said funding was the issue when asked about the next step in HAWS’ redevelopment plan, which includes redeveloping Cleveland Avenue Apartment Homes and bringing businesses to the area.

“We are excited to be accepting applications for Camden Station as our plan to revitalize this area.”

Woods continued. “Our next step in our plan is to redevelop the Cleveland Avenue Apartments. We are now seeking funding for that project.”

Just two years ago, Oaks at Tenth, another low-income housing development less than a stones throw away from Camden Station, started accepting applications.

In 2012, the Housing Authority unveiled a fouryear plan to revitalize the neighborhoods around Cleveland Avenue.

According to Woods, the plan would stimulate private investment and rebuild the entire community. The plan promised residents landscaping, new parks, an expanded library as well as retail shops.

The four-year plan is in year three, and local residents are waiting to see what the Housing Authority will do.

Homeless vets get meal and assistance at local event

Veterans check out the service providers at last week’s events.

BY TODD LUCK THE CHRONICLE

Homeless veterans enjoyed a meal and a chance to connect with services at the Operation Corps event held Thursday, Nov. 5, at American Legion Post 55.

Op Corps was started by two local Veterans Affairs employees, Doc Digsby and Clarice McNeil, who are both Marine Corps veterans. It’s the third time the duo has held the luncheon and resource fair for homeless veterans. Shelters and organizations that serve the homeless from around the area, not just Forsyth County, brought their veterans to the outreach event, which was sponsored by the Winston-Salem Regional VA office.

“No man or woman who comes home should ever have to wonder where

their next meal is coming from,” said Digsby.

Though the City of Winston-Salem declared an end to veterans homelessness recently, meaning veterans identified in the homeless service system get housing within a matter of weeks, it still takes a lot of effort to get homeless vets back on their feet. The VA has been a part of that effort, said VA Veterans Service Center Manager Doug Chapman. The VA has homeless coordinators that work with local shelters to identify veterans and help get them into housing.

Homeless veterans also have expedited claims that are processed within 75 days.

“No veteran should be homeless,” said Chapman.

VA staff served veterans a meal donated by Golden Corral on University Parkway. The VA was also offering claims assistance, flu shots,

vocational rehabilitation and other services to the vets.

Other organizations there included DAV, a disabled veterans non-profit that cosponsored the event; Veterans of Foreign Wars; Goodwill Industries’ military and veterans employment program Operation: GoodJobs; and the state’s veteran services, NC4Vets.

U.S. Rep. Alma Adams’ outreach director, Earline Parmon, was also there.

Veterans Helping Veterans Heal (VHVH), a

Haggerty

local transitional housing facility for homeless veterans, brought several of its current residents to the event.

VHVH offers case management and a variety of services to veterans staying in its 24-bed facility to make sure they can become self-sufficient again and stay that way. The average length of stay is eight months and vets can stay there up to two years.

Coast Guard Veteran Michael Hall was among those staying at VHVH

who were at Wednesday’s event. He said that he arrived there a couple months after being incarcerated for a probation violation. During his incarceration he lost everything and had no place to go once released. He was grateful to find services that helped him.

“It’s been a blessing to be there and get the help that they’re providing,” he said.

Army Vet. Joe Haggerty, who is also staying at VHVH, said he learned about Goodwill’s services at the event and plans to take them up on offers for clothing, job interviews and truck driver training.

Haggerty has been homeless since he was laid off from his job as an executive at Parade magazine in 2011, after a long career working on the business side of the newspaper industry. He said the com-

bination of losing his job and his wife through divorce at the same time proved too much for him.

Depression and alcohol abuse prevented him from regaining employment causing him to lose everything. He’s stayed with friends, moving every couple months when he’d worn out their patience.

He said at first he was worried about going to a facility for homeless vets, but instead found himself impressed by VHVH’s facility, services and the vets staying there, which he says are helping him tremendously. He said he was also touched by the reception he got at the Op Corps event.

“It’s a humbling experience, to walk in and be honored by the friendliness of the people,” he said, adding that everyone there made him feel accepted.

New N.C. secretary: ‘We’re serious about our veterans’ jobs. The state is offering them training, job search assistance and letting them count their military experience toward civilian jobs.

“There are employers looking to hire veterans but they’re not quite sure how to do it, so we put programs in place to bridge that gap,” he said.

Wilson said the department will be

The man who was over 81,000 Marines and civilians is now over a new Cabinet-level department and says the N.C. Department of Military and Veterans Affairs is committed to veterans.

USMC Major General (ret.) Cornell Wilson Jr. was sworn in last month as secretary of the state’s new Department of Military and Veterans Affairs.

Wilson has been Gov. Pat McCrory’s Military Affairs advisor since October 2013. He now has a cabinet-level position that leads the new department that serves the military and veterans. Wilson served in the Marine Corps from 1972 to 2010, climbing in rank until he became Commanding General of U.S. Marine Forces, Southern Command, which covers the Caribbean and South America.

He oversaw a $1.5 billion budget and 81,000 Marines and civilians.

Wilson said the new department, which has about 100 employees on staff, demonstrates the state’s commitment to veterans.

“It all says a lot about North Carolina,” he said. “We’re serious about our military, serious about our veterans.”

The department serves a sizable population. North Carolina has the fourth largest military presence in the country with 100,000 active duty military personnel, along with those serving in the

National Guard and Reserves. The state has almost 800,000 veterans, giving it the nation’s eighth largest veterans population.

Wilson said the department will work to resolve issues involving military bases and their surrounding communities. For example, it will try to ensure windmills or tall buildings don’t impede the flight paths around military bases, interfering with their ability to train. He said North Carolina did well in the latest Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) process and wants to make sure bases continue to perform well so they won’t be considered for closure in any future rounds of BRAC. “We think we’re in pretty good shape in North Carolina, but we still want to make sure we do everything we can to improve the military value of the installations, so if a BRAC does come around, we’re in good shape,” he said.

The existing Veterans Affairs division is now under the new department.

NC4Vets, as the state’s veterans affairs is known, provides services and referrals to veterans, such as helping them with their federal Veterans Affairs claims. It also provides a comprehensive guide of veterans resources available online and in print.

Wilson said North Carolina has made strides to help veterans, including offering in-state college tuition to veterans. The state also implemented a pilot program, NC Military Pipeline, to help those transitioning from military to civilian life find

working with the American Legion and other veterans organizations to find and solve veterans issues.

N.C. regulators ‘OK’ health insurance rate increase

rALeiGh (AP) — north carolina consumers who buy their own health insurance are facing major price increases next year.

The state insurance department said it's approved rates covering about 610,000 people that will be one-third to onefifth higher in 2016. The three-month open enrollment period for 2016 is open and closes on dec.

15.

The insurance regulator says Blue cross and Blue Shield of north carolina was approved for an average 32.5 percent rate f increase. Aetna is approved for an average 24 percent increase, while united healthcare can raise premiums by an average 20 percent.

The three companies are the only insurers to sell plans on a federally run online insurance marketplace for subsidized policies. north carolina's increases are among the

highest for the 37 states that rely on the healthcare.gov website, according to government figures.

Meanwhile, the federal government's insurance website is faster and easier to use, but as a third signup season gets underway, President Barack obama's health care law is approaching limits. enrollment on the federal and state exchanges began Sunday, nov. 1.

While the law's expanded coverage has reduced the uninsured rate to a historic low of about 9 percent, the gains will be harder in

2016.

Supporters may feel they're running to stay in place, rather than taking a victory lap during the president's last full year in office.

The reasons have to do with the structure of the complicated law, the effects of a major change introduced by the Supreme court and political divisions likely to be magnified in an election year.

Health insurance enrollment opens amid price hikes

Affordable Care Act subsidies will help some

By Todd Luck The chronicLe

open enrollment for health insurance is now happening as north carolina health insurance providers prepare to significantly raise premiums on individual policies next year.

The state insurance department approved rate hikes for plans covering about 610,000 people.

Blue cross and Blue Shield of north carolina was approved for an average 32.5 percent increase, Aetna for an average 24 percent increase, and united healthcare for a 20 percent average increase. These are the only three insurance providers on the Affordable care Act (AcA) marketplace in north carolina.

The increases are among the highest in the 37 states that rely on the federal healthcare.gov website. katie harper, an AcA navigator at healthcare Access, a local non-profit that links the uninsured with medical care, said that she’s still been able to find people affordable plans. higher subsidies will offset the cost for many and there are many plans to choose from for someone who feels they can no longer afford their current one. “hopefully people are going to see that care is affordable even with the increases, it’s still something within their grasp,

that they can have affordable health care, that they have options,� said harper.

Tax subsidies, which are paid directly to the insurance company, are available to those buying individual insurance through the marketplace that are between 100 and 400 percent of the poverty level and vary in amount, depending on things like income and the number of people in a household. harper said subsidies allow some people to get insurance for under $100, and that still remains true for next Harper year. harper said that everyone getting insurance through the marketplace should update their information and see what their subsidy and options will be for next year. Anyone unsure about how to navigate the marketplace can get free help from a certified application counselor or navigator.

Blue cross, whose individual premium increases in 2016 vary from 5 to 42 percent per plan, said the rate hikes are due to AcA enrollees being less healthy and using more services than expected. The not-forprofit business said this was why it took a net loss of $50.6 million in 2014, its first loss in two decades.

Along with rate hikes, Blue cross will also discontinue some plans in 16 counties in the Triangle and charlotte regions, though the insurance giant points out that it’s customers have many other plans to choose

from. insurers hoped the participation of young people would offset the expense of less healthy customers they’re required to cover now that they can’t discriminate against those with preexisting conditions or cap benefits .Thus far, young people are not signing up in the numbers insurers wanted. harper said she hoped as more previously uninsured people become used to having insurance, that trend will change. regardless of what the market does, she said the AcA will continue to give people options. “our hope is that plans will remain affordable, if not through the rates, then through the subsidies,� said harper.

The open enrollment period runs from november 1-January 31, 2016, but for a policy to begin by January 1, signup must be completed by december 15. The tax penalty for not having insurance in 2016 increases to $695 per adult, up to $2,085 per family, or 2.5 percent of income – whichever is higher.

To sign up, renew or check on subsidies and plans, go to healthcare.gov.

Those needing assistance signing up can find help by going to gcaconnector.org or calling 1-855-733-3711.

sign-up season could embolden opponents who are so far unwilling to relent.

The law's two major engines of coverage expansion face challenges simultaneously. costs are going up on the private, taxpayer-subsidized coverage sold through healthcare.gov and state insurance exchanges, and many of the more than 10 million eligible uninsured Americans are skeptics.

They tend to be younger people on tight budgets, with other priorities for spending their money.

A sharp increase in fines may sway at least some fence-sitters. in 2016, the penalty will rise to $695 or 2.5 percent of taxable income, whichever is higher. This year, the fine is the greater of $325 or 2 percent of income. on the law's Medicaid expansion, the other big mechanism driving coverage, the limitations are clearer and perhaps more consequential.

The 2012 Supreme court decision that upheld the law's individual coverage requirement also gave states the choice to decline expanding Medicaid.

Across the South, republican-led states, including north carolina, have turned down the Medicaid option, leaving millions uninsured.

Many are trapped in what's called the ``Medicaid gap.'' They cannot get health insurance through healthcare.gov because the law prevents people below the poverty

line from using the insurance exchanges. So the private insurance alternative is closed to them, even as their states refuse to expand public coverage. if five southern states – north carolina, Texas, Florida, Georgia, and Louisiana – were to expand Medicaid, that could potentially add another 2 million people to the coverage rolls. it would amount to a seismic shift, one unlikely in a political year when partisan divisions will be accentuated. consumers have until Jan. 31 to sign up for coverage. if they want their coverage to start at the first of the year, they need to apply by dec. 15. carla k.

Serious issue of poverty deserves serious effort

The Watergate scandal put a blot on Richard Nixon’s tenure as president, but he had some good ideas during his time in office. One of them was a way to fight poverty.

Rob Schofield of N.C. Policy Watch reported that in 1969, Nixon gave a televised address to the nation in which he proposed to establish a minimum, federally funded family income. Nixon recognized the power of money to combat poverty.

Schofield mentioned a recent article in the Washington Post titled “The remarkable thing that happens to poor kids when you give their parents a little money.” It talked about a study that showed that the lives of people, including children, improved when parents had an increase in income.

Schofield said “the implication of these findings for public policy ought to be clear: The simplest, most efficient and best thing that state and federal leaders can do to combat the scourge of poverty and its devastatJoines ing long-term impact on children is to craft and enact policies that lift the incomes of the poor.”

Winston-Salem officials have decided that they want to fight poverty, but as a groupthink project.

They believe a 21-panel group initially will get the ball rolling, then hundreds more people will be able to join in to help solve the issue of poverty in Winston-Salem. And the process could take five years just to cut some of the poverty in the city, which by the way, is at more than 24 percent, or a quarter of the population of 235,527 (which is an estimated population figure as of 2013). That means 58,882 people are in poverty if the 2013 figure is used.

Winston-Salem Mayor Allen Joines on Oct. 29 led the announcement of the formation of the Winston-Salem Poverty Thought Force. The group will hold a series of community meetings to ask residents for input on how to tackle various aspects of the poverty problem. Another organization will provide data analysis and look nationwide for examples of what has worked and what has not worked.

In the end, the panel will come up with a list of recommendations and set a percentage goal to reduce the poverty rate.

Why is a panel needed, and such a large panel at that, to work on ending poverty in Winston-Salem?

A broad range of civic and academic leaders makes up the 21-member panel. It will be chaired by Wake Forest University Provost Rogan Kersh, who is the same person who in September chaired the public “hunger talks,” otherwise known as Feeding Change: an Interactive Community Conversation on Hunger. We are still waiting on the results from that meeting.

Kersh said that the Thought Force will have five subcommittees that focus on various aspects of poverty: health and wellness; housing and homelessness; jobs/workforce development; education/life skills; and hunger/food insecurity. These subcommittees will hold meetings to gather information and ideas from the public and from people who work in these areas.

Now, look at how Winston-Salem handled the homeless veterans problem.

The Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Commission on Ending Homelessness announced that it has ended veteran homelessness. This was its first goal as part of its overall drive to end chronic homelessness in Winston-Salem and Forsyth County by 2016.

Was a 21-member panel used to reach that goal, which took about a year to achieve?

The issue of poverty is serious and real in the city.

The question is, why don’t city officials treat it that way?

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Sad day for hardworking citizens To the Editor:

Dear Members of the Forsyth County Community,

The passing of House Bill 318 represents another sad day for many hard-working citizens of our State.

This intentionally deceitful legislation is titled the Protect North Carolina Workers Act. Many in our community are out of work and still looking for jobs every day without much luck. By Gov. McCrory signing this bill into law, these extremely vulnerable citizens face a pathway to starvation.

to a simple and age-old American adage: This land is your land ... this land is my land.

Those whose compassion for our citizens still living on the margins are deeply grieved about this abusive law. We know how much people depend on a little boost when they are down and out, lose a job, do day work, or work fewer than twenty hours a week. These affected members of our community are invisible to some. They are not invisible to us.

We respect them. We know that they count.

This unbridled abuse of and disregard for the basic tenants that have made this country the greatest in world, an international melting pot, will not last forever. We urge everybody to use your power to vote while you still have it. When we as a community believe in the Power of One, all things will become possible.

But then came the surprise. I learned that Publix, a wealthy, privately-owned, giant grocery store chain, will not support a 1 cent increase per pound in the price of tomatoes and join the Coalition of Immokalee Workers (CIW) Fair Food Program. The CIW is a wellrespected farm worker rights organization in Florida. Their Fair Food Program is an innovative partnership among farmers, farm workers and retail food companies that ensures decent wages and humane working conditions on participating farms.

The program has been lauded by

Regards,

Hanes

Adults that were not disabled and looking for work were, under previous law, able to apply and receive a small allocation of food stamps. That is no more. HB 318 also makes it more difficult for local police and governments to protect and serve the public while making it easier for exploitation of immigrant workers.

One of the primary sponsors of this bill, Debra Conrad, is actually among our delegation from Forsyth County.

We respect the right of all members of the delegation to voice their opinion through legislation. We cannot in good conscious, however, support a bill that will starve and disenfranchise children for the political amusement of those who no longer wish to adhere

The Forsyth County Legislative Delegation Rep. Edward F. Hanes Jr., CoChairman North Carolina General Assembly, District 72 Rep. Evelyn Terry, District 71 Sen. Paul Lowe, District 32

Publix should reconsider not joining fair food coalition

To the Editor: While visiting my daughter or my sister-in-law in Jacksonville, Florida, I have often shopped at a wonderful Publix there. I was delighted when I saw that a Publix would be opening in Winston-Salem.

the Washington Post as “one of the great human rights success stories of our day” and recognized for its effectiveness by the United Nations.

Despite what seems like a no-brainer, Publix refuses to sign on and support a 1 cent increase per pound in the price of tomatoes. The increase would insure that there is no market for tomatoes which have been produced in Florida on farms where slavery and sexual harassment are well documented. Other major companies have joined the Fair Food Program including McDonald’s, Taco Bell, Burger King, Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods. Since Publix will not join them, I cannot in good conscience peruse the aisles of what I am sure will be a beautiful store.

Publix, please reconsider your decision, and do the right thing for the farm workers who put food on our tables.

‘Ferguson Virus’

A7

Illustration by Ron Rogers for the Chronicle

$EC college $ports $cared $hirtless

Imagine the following Bill state of affairs: Everybody Turner who was somebody in Guest t h e Columnist Southeastern Conference (SEC) was there, plus the big wigs from the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA).

It was the day after what one attendee described as the “Massacre in Missouri.”

Jonathan Butler, a graduate student with the Ferguson movement on his resume, started a hunger strike at the University of Missouri a week ago to protest the “longstanding racist climate.”

Student and faculty organizations soon backed him; and then, to everybody’s amazement, the mostly black football team took to the field, so to speak. The rest is history.

ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith – resplendent in a Hugo Boss athletic slim fit suit – the moderator, was seated on a stool behind a counter outfitted to look like the one at Woolworth’s Five & Dime in Greensboro, vintage 1961.

To protect their identities, SEC member institution presidents, athletic directors, coaches and their assistants came

dressed as Gators, Bulldogs, Wildcats, Tigers, Razorbacks and Gamecocks. Only die-hard college gridiron fans know what a Commodore is; but, it has a military ring, as does Colonel. The Rebel in the room couldn’t hide at all. An Aggie was dressed as a haystack, a needle sticking straight through its torso.

Nick Saban of Alabama, who makes $7 million a year, came disguised as a wad of $100 dollar bills, since he was unable to mask as a Crimson Tide – whatever that is.

“Nick, you open up and chair this since you have more experience with them, at least, winning, than the rest of us,” said Saban’s Superboss, Greg Sankey, the SEC Commissioner, who was concealed inside one of those oversized checks donors give charities; $310 million was in the amount line, representing the revenue distributed to member schools in 2014, an average of $22 million per school.

The crisis mode was like the atmosphere just before the kickoff of the national title game. After all, more Americans – especially in the Bible-Belt South – attend college football games than go to church or vote.

“That’s the metric and the money we are talking about,” said Saban, in the voice used when a team has been beaten like it stole something. What went wrong in the locker rooms at the University of

Missouri?

Other pros, or at least where they stood, were in the room. “These boys been listenin’ to Kareem,” thought World Wide Wes, aka William Sydney Wesley, who was seated next to the basketball coach from the University of Kentucky. Mr. Wesley is noted for his dealings with numerous high-profile college coaches, NBA players and their representatives, and is considered the most influential man in the business side of pro basketball.

College kids, like the ones at Missouri, know World Wide Wes. Kareem had said that he was not impressed with Michael Jordan's decision to put Air Jordans over having a political voice. "Republicans buy my shoes too,” Jordan had asserted. The Missouri players headed back to the locker room, averting a $1 million fine and forfeiture had they not suited up against Brigham Young this weekend.

LeBron James was mentioned by someone for his “act of disloyalty to the hand that feeds him” for leading the Heat players onto the floor in hoodies after Zimmerman was found not guilty for the death of Trayvon Martin. “Is he one of us or one of them?,” someone from Tennessee volunteered to wonder, adding how the Clippers players had left him scratching his head with all the fuss over

what their owner Donald Sterling said.

Sterling got much the same fate as the top guys at Mizzou last week.

Someone trying to disguise his Mississippi twang suggested that all black college athletes at predominately white colleges be put “in classes like the ones they have down there in North Carolina.”

Stephen A., now mimicking Howard Cossell, introduced a panel titled: “What to do if your black athletes are thoughtful and utter political statements.”

"Hey, stop crying those kinda tears!,” shrieked Saben, to whomever was inside a big alligator costume. It’s hard to know how the Notre Dame mascot, somebody black in the get up of a leprechaun, got to the conference. But, he was last seen kneeling, saying a Hail Mary prayer.

Tommie Smith and John Carlos, real life rebels, wiped the counter of the tears and sweat with towels they kept as souvenirs from the 1968 Olympics. Michael Sams, the first openly gay NFL draftee, was back at his alma mater in Columbia, raising a black power salute to a rally celebrating victory over a pattern of racist oppression.

Honor our veterans by expanding Medicaid Ciara Zachary

Guest Columnist

North Carolina ranks eighth for veteran population as there are nearly 800,000 veterans living in the Tar Heel state. The Veterans Administration reports that in 2014 there were four VA Hospitals, six Vet Centers, and 16 community-based outpatient clinics throughout the state.

Given the veteran population, it is easy to see why the VA secretary, Robert McDonald, has reported much difficulty in meeting demands for veteran health care with limited resources and facilities.

In North Carolina, only 321,459 veterans are enrolled in the VA Health Care System and only 214,215 patients were reported as treated in North Carolina in 2014.

Further, 316,000 veterans are age 65 years and over, and thus qualify for

Medicare, which makes it easier to access health care outside of the VA Health Care System.

Unfortunately, there are too many veterans that have difficulty accessing care, and with statistics showing that one out of every 10 veterans under age 65 years do not use VA health care and do not have health insurance shows that the United States has much room to improve how we care for those who have served this country.

Fortunately, with the passage of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), a pathway did open to make health care to veterans more affordable and accessible. The pathway is Medicaid expansion.

Research has shown that four out of every 10 uninsured veterans fall into the Medicaid coverage gap.

This means that many veterans and their spouses make too much money to qualify for Medicaid (note: there are additional criteria for Medicaid eligibility) and too little to qualify for financial help or subsidies to enroll in the ACA

through the Marketplace.

A report by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation that used data from the 2008-2010 American Community Survey shows that there are approximately 23,000 veterans in North Carolina that would benefit from Medicaid expansion.

Approximately, 8,000

spouses of veterans would also be able to access affordable health care if North Carolina expands Medicaid.

So as we honor those who have fought and served our country, let’s not forget that North Carolina has an opportunity to protect our veterans and their

families’ health by closing the coverage gap.

As Medicaid reform moves forward, our policymakers can include Medicaid expansion so that veterans’ mental and physical health is protected.

Office to aid community opens

A8 NOVEMBER 12, 2015

SPeCIAL TO THe CHRONICLe

Wake Forest University School of Law has officially opened the Smith Anderson Office of Community Outreach within the newly transformed Worrell Professional Center, 1834 Wake Forest Road.

The Office houses the Law School’s Pro Bono Project and Public Interest Law Organization.

The Pro Bono Project began as a con-

Abused from page A1

Based on The Chronicle’s preliminary investigation of numerous files from the Forsyth County Clerk’s Office, she may be right.

There are two versions of what happened to Napoleon Hall Wilson, 81, of Winston-Salem in August 2005 – one through interviews, the other through public documents.

Mr. Wilson was a proud military veteran and widower who was known for being industrious, fiercely independent, and kind. He owned property and had been successful in business. His family respected his generosity and work ethic. They believed that in his waning years, Wilson’s advanced age required family care, management and companionship.

According to documents, Napoleon Wilson was seen much differently by psychiatrists at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center (WFUBMC), social workers at FCDSS, and ultimately, Theresa Hinshaw, then an assistant clerk in the Forsyth County Clerk of Superior Court’s Office.

In an August 23, 2005 letter to clerk Hinshaw, Dr. Joseph Williams of the Dept. of Psychiatry at WFUBMC, wrote Wilson “…was admitted to the adult psychiatric unit on August 18, 2005 after law enforcement became concerned about his mental status.” Dr. Williams went on to state that “…the patient had called 911 several times complaining of the garbage collectors in his community trying to do harm to him.”

Dr. Williams went on to state that Mr. Wilson, “…had demonstrated increased agitation, confusion and memory loss over the course of the past month,” adding that Wilson’s “caretaker” indicated that he had not been keeping up with his medications.

The letter maintained that Wilson had had dementia since 2000 and a history of seizures that bring about a “…state of psy-

Under the guidance of Outreach Director Professor Beth Hopkins and Pro Bono Project Coordinator Denise Hartsfield, students involved in the Pro Bono Project and the Public Interest Law Organization gain hands-on experience

chosis.”

“Because of these mental and cognitive limitations, it is our opinion that Mr. Wilson is not capable of conducting health, personal and business affairs in a responsible manner,” Dr. Williams continued in the August 2005 letter. “Therefore it would be in his best interest to have a guardian appointed to oversee these decisions.”

“There are no known family members available to do this,” Dr. Williams concluded in the letter to asst. clerk Hinshaw.

By Williams’ own admission, Mr. Wilson had been in their care at the psychiatric unit since August 18th, allegedly brought in by law enforcement, but by the time the doctor wrote that letter on August 23rd, no family members living in Winston-Salem had been contacted by either the hospital or police, even though Wilson’s “caretaker” was familiar with them.

Six days later, that notarized letter, entered on August 29, 2005, was used in a “Petition for Adjudication of Incompetence and Application for Appointment of Guardian or Limited Guardian and Interim Guardian” to the Forsyth Clerk’s Office.

The documents show the petitioner being a “Maryanne Keller” of “UCBH Risk Management.” That petition lists Wilson as “an inpatient in the facility named above,” and his address as “Sticht Center,” referring to the J. Paul Sticht Center on Aging and Rehabilitation, part of the Wake Forest School of Medicine.

The petition goes on to state that Wilson “…has dementia, paranoia and agitation…” referring then to the “attached letter” from Dr. Williams.

Page two of that petition notes that Mr. Wilson “lacks capacity” for all indicated areas of “independent living,” adding that “caretaker lives w/him.”

Finally, under a section titled “Recommended Guardian(s),” it is written

vital to their development as citizen lawyers, and continue to seek new horizons to reach individuals in need of legal assistance.

The Public Interest Law Organization promotes Wake Forest’s tradition of training lawyers who serve not only their clients, but also their communities, state and nation. PILO works with the Office of Career and Professional Development to create an easy-to-access repository of information for students seeking internships, externships and fellowships.

that if the caretaker is not interested, “… then FCDSS.” A receipt shows that a “Maryanne Keller” paid the required $40.00 filing fee.

On that same August 29, 2005 date, clerk Hinshaw issued a notice for a Sept.

15, 2005 hearing on the incompetence petition, and “Order Appointing Guardian Ad Litem,” a clerk-appointed attorney who is supposed to legally advocate for the patient. That document, which is not file-stamped as entered, showed that attorney Fred P. Flynt III was appointed.

If Mr. Wilson did not want attorney Flynt, he had the legal right to hire his own attorney to represent his interests in that Sept. 15th hearing. By all accounts, Wilson had the means because he wasn’t indigent.

Another “Notice” on the incompetency hearing for appointing a guardian dated August 29th, 2005 only lists the caretaker’s name and Winston-Salem address – the address Napoleon Wilson reportedly lived at – as being formally notified to “… appear and offer evidence as to whether the Respondent (Wilson) is an incompetent adult and a guardian should be appointed.”

The caretaker is not a relative, yet her name is the only one listed to appear.

It is now eleven days since Napoleon Wilson was brought in to the hospital, according to Clerk of court records, and yet there is still no documented effort on the part of law enforcement, the hospital, the Clerk’s Office, or later, according to Wilson’s cousin, Sandra Jackson, the guardian ad litem supposed to be advocating for him, to locate any family in the area.

Ms. Jackson, now in her 50’s, not only lived at the same address in WinstonSalem then as she does now, but has also been an employee of the city’s sanitation department for over 27 years. In addition, she was already a guardian of an adult family member at the time, meaning her

The opening of the Office was made possible through the financial generosity of Raleigh law firm Smith Anderson and many of its attorneys.

“Our firm, at its core, is deeply committed to promoting a culture of pro bono service and the betterment of our community,” said alumnus Gerald Roach.

records were already on file at the Clerk’s Office.

But more importantly, Ms. Jackson told The Chronicle, the caretaker in question was actually a woman named “Sarah (The Chronicle is withholding her last name),” Napoleon Wilson’s girlfriend of several years who was known very well by Jackson and communicated with her often.

Wilson and Sarah were living together years after his wife had deceased.

So why didn’t any official, from any of the institutions involved, ask Sara if Mr. Wilson had family in the area and how to contact them? Sandra Jackson says that, in fact, they did know, because Sarah did tell at least the hospital since she had to be in contact with doctors about his medication.

“She told them he has a niece who could take care of him,” Ms. Jackson told The Chronicle, noting that she had always thought of Mr. Wilson as an “uncle,” and referred to him as such, even though they were actually cousins.

In fact, on Sept. 15, 2005, Ms. Jackson says she accompanied “Ms. Sarah,” to the Forsyth Hall of Justice, Room #243 as directed, but when they got there, they were told that the special proceeding had already taken place, and FCDSS had been appointed guardian of person for Napoleon Wilson.

Sandra Jackson says that what happened next was nothing less than a horror show, with her being denied being able to see her cousin for three months, taking pictures of his injuries from alleged abuse at the all-white facility he was being kept at; and ultimately being denied her application to become his guardian.

The ordeal, she believes, allegedly contributed to his death.

In Part Two, Ms. Jackson tells her side of the story, and why she believes that FCDSS and the Clerk’s Office allegedly conspired to work against Napoleon Jackson’s family.

A North Forsyth High School student, who wore this hoodie, had to be treated at a hospital after being handled by a school resource officer.

Incident

from page A1

“I am glad that someone was willing to step up an share the video.”

W i n s t o n Salem/Forsyth County Schools Chief of Staff Theo Helm said the school system was not at liberty to discuss the situation.

“The matter is now being handled by the police department,” he said. “ As a result, I really can’t say much about the situation, only that a student was injured.”

It is unclear what action has been taken against White. According to multiple sources, White is a fairly new officer with the Winston-Salem Police Department.

According to Captain Catrina Thompson of the Police Department’s criminal investigation division, White is still working at North Forsyth.

“Officer Randall White is still working in full capacity at North Forsyth High School,” Thompson continued. “The incident is currently under internal investigation.”

Thompson did say criminal charges are pending against the two students involved.

According to court documents, Asahiah and the other student involved in the fight are to appear in court on Dec. 9. Both students were charged with

affray and disturbance of other citizens in a public place.

In a video obtained by an unknown source, White seems to initially control the situation by putting Rogers against a wall.

Then it appears he then proceeds to slam the teenager to the ground.

Although it was on Snapchat, that video has since been removed from all social media platforms.

After the incident, Asahiah said she asked White for a simple apology, which she never got.

“I was in his office after the incident and he continued to walk in and out while others tried to stop the bleeding,” she continued. “When I asked him for a apology, he said he had already given me the ticket and he felt he had done the right thing.”

When Sharon Rogers finally spoke with White’s supervisor, hours later, she was told that justice had been served, and that the police officer did his job.

“I asked him a few times to get a better understanding of what that meant, but it was easy to figure out,” she continued.

“They believe he was justified in his actions.”

After seeing the video multiple times, it is clear that the officer could have taken other actions to control the situation, said Asahiah’s father, Jeffery Rogers.

After seeing the video

for the first time, he was visibly shaken up, he tried to hold back tears.

“It hurts my heart to see my daughter handled like that,” he continued. “I forgive the officer for what he has done, but we want, and need justice.

“If we don’t speak out about this situation it could happen to someone else, and we want to prevent this from happening to anyone else.”

As of Tuesday, Nov. 10, school administrators from North Forsyth had not returned calls from the Rogers family or The Chronicle.

Both students have been expelled and told they cannot return to North Forsyth for the remainder of the school year, although original documents from the school stated the students were only to be suspended for five days.

Sharon Rogers said after days of trying to contact school administrators, she has decided that it is a lost cause, because they are not responding.

“I have tried to contact the principal and the school since the day this happened,” she continued.

“The next step for us is finding a lawyer who can help us.

“We want to make sure children throughout the school system are safe.

This seems to becoming a trend in school across the nation, and its time for it to stop.”

Book's stories offer ideas for ending violence and injustice Visit Our New Website www.WSChronicle.com

BOOK REVIEW

BY TERRI SCHLICHENMEYER FOR THE CHRONICLE

Bang.

That’s all it takes to snuff out a life. One bang, though there are usually more before someone is dead: Freddie Gray, Michael Brown, Tamar Rice, Jonathan Ferrell, how did we get to this point?

Better yet, as D. Watkins ponders in his new book “The Beast Side,” how do we get out of it?

The list of the dead literally grows every day: statistically, an AfricanAmerican citizen is murdered by white cops, black cops, or neighbors every 28 hours. It’s war out there for Black America, says D. Watkins, and he’s tired of it.

His idea for ending violence and injustice is unique, but meaningful.

Watkins says that read-

ing absolutely changed his life by teaching him to think critically, and it saved him. Literacy, he says, opens lines of communication, while sharing individual stories can educate and can make people eager to read. “The Beast Side” is, therefore, a book of stories.

How does it happen, for example, that a black writer from Baltimore – a city that’s sixty percent black – finds himself speaking at a large event where there are few black people? The reason: there are two Baltimores and the split is sharp. Before college, Watkins had little contact with whites. Do white people know what’s happening in east Baltimore? Not many do, he says and when folks learn, they’re usually surprised.

It’s almost hard to grasp how many of Watkins’ friends and family have

died by violence. He was only a boy when he witnessed a murder; crime was that common. He watched people on his street do anything to make a buck (they’re the hardest working people in the nation, he says); he sold drugs, hustled, and carried a gun (mandatory, he claims), but his brother wanted him off the streets.

Watkins went to college to become a professor and a teacher. His stories help black men understand why they should respect black women more; they explain why Watkins doesn’t recite the Pledge of Allegiance, how black people are left out of pop culture, why reading is essential, and how eating poorly could be Black America’s worst habit. And they show how, deeply and despite the rift in this country, we really aren’t so different after all.

Is that such a surprise?

The remains of Army PFC Frank Worley arrive at Russell Funeral Home on Friday, Nov. 4. Worley was a Korean War veteran.

Worley currently resides. Jack Worley of Chula Vista, California, is another surviving brother of the war veteran.

“When I first got the news I was amazed,” he continued. “I’m 62 years old and this war happened before I was even born.

That in its self was pretty

amazing.”

Members of the Patriot Guard Riders (PGR), a motorcycle club of only military veterans, ushered the hearse carrying Worley through the busy streets of the city. The group of veterans got word of PFC Worley’s return home from the casualty assistance officer in Fort Bragg.

The club’s state captain, Rick Rohme, said coming out to honor Worley is the least they could do.

“PFC Worley made the ultimate sacrifice,” he said.

“Because of his sacrifice, me and you are free to do what we want today.”

First Class Arin Van Denmark was assigned the duty of escorting Worley back home to the Carolinas. He said it was an honor.

“This is my first time escorting a fallen solider home,” he continued.

“When I first got the news, I felt honored that I was chosen to carry out such a important mission.”

Van Denmark is stationed in Hawaii and said he volunteered to be Worley’s personal escort.

“I felt like it was my duty to see that Private First Class Worley made it home to his final resting place safely.”

The city’s wide-ranging use of digital technology includes a webpage that allows citizens to track the progress of bond projects; a mobile application for Utilities that uses GIS for locating infrastructure, receiving service requests, and accessing data in the field; a Transportation mobile application that allows employees to use GIS to grade street surfaces while performing other duties in the field; automatic vehicle locator technology to track the location and operation of all city vehicles; a mobile CityLink 311 application; and NextBus, a mobile application that allows bus riders to determine when the bus will arrive at their stop.

Other initiatives

include recently combining city and county GIS operations into a single department to serve both agencies, and city participation in the N.C. Next Generation Network, a consortium of cities and universities that resulted in AT&T installing an allfiber gigabit network in Winston-Salem.

Winston-Salem has ranked in the top 10 of the center’s annual survey every year since 2002, the first year the city participated. This includes a firstplace ranking in 2014 and second-place rankings in 2003, 2008 and 2011.

The rankings were compiled by the e.Republic Center for Digital Government, a national research and advisory institute. Four other North Carolina cities were also ranked: Fayetteville tied for fourth and Durham for eighth among cities with a population of 125,000 to 249,999, and Charlotte and Greensboro tied for ninth among cities with a population of 250,000 or more.

Winston-Salem tied with Salt Lake City for fifth in the center's 2015 Digital Cities Survey of cities with a population of 125,000 to 249,999. The annual study ranks the use of information technology by local governments.

The 2015 survey ranked cities for their use of digital technology in the areas of citizen engagement, policy, operations, and technology and data, said Todd Sander, the center’s executive director.

“The top-ranked digital city governments in this year’s survey are using cloud services, data analytics and mobile apps— among other technologies—to help citizens interact with government more easily than ever before,” Sander said.

At the risk of sounding Pollyanna-ish, no. But can that hope change the way things are, as reported in “The Beast Side”?

That, I think, will depend on your point of view: author D. Watkins says things that many people don’t want to hear and his words fairly seethe with anger – yet, pages later, those stories seem almost warm before abruptly turning to outrage and anger again. Hope followed by persistent reality is what you get, then, along with a lingering sense of rightful unease, inability to stop pondering, and a need to become much, much more educated.

Though its subject matter can be harsh, I think “The Beast Side” is appropriate for older-teens-toadults, particularly if recent news stories disturb you greatly. If that’s the case, then aim to read it.

Judge Denise hartsfield of the 21st Judicial District said that it was a privilege to host the event that honored two great men who have improved the lives of so many in the community over the years.

She applauded pitt for dedicating so much time and effort to delivering positive and uplifting news stories to the people of Winston-Salem and Forsyth county.

“Mr. pitt makes it his business to let us know the good things that are going on in our community,” she continued. “in a world where the press writes about negative images, in Winston-Salem we have the privilege to have a local news publication that tells it like it is and applauds us for being who we are.” hartsfield described oliphant as a man in a powerful position who serves a powerful God that leads him to make the right decisions for the people in the community. as a loan operations specialist for commercial banking at Wells Fargo, oliphant is responsible for providing money for new buildings and businesses in

During their acceptance speeches, the honorees bestowed words of advice upon the many students in attendance. pitt pushed students to get to know themselves, and to have a committed relationship with God, which is aligned with the core values of the Qea curriculum. “the great maker made you to be everything that

you want to be, so you should never doubt yourself, even through hardships,” he said. “God places hardships before us so that we can learn lessons from them. “once you build that relationship with God, you will begin to see those hardships as stepping stones that you will use to make yourself a better person.” oliphant encouraged students to be more giving and caring to others. “the biggest thing i want to pass on to the young people is to not be selfish and learn how to help someone else,” he continued. “if we had more compassion for each other, we wouldn’t see as much

carnage as we see today.” chief executive officer Simon Johnson said the annual legacy ceremony is one of the many ways Qea is creating a long enduring institution that will serve our communities and particularly the children in our community. “legacy is a fundraiser for us, but this is not the most important purpose of legacy,” Johnson said. “one of the most important things that we must consider is longevity and continuity within longevity,” he continued. “legacy creates a tradition and a trend that down through the years will bind the core values of the school together with the community.”

Inspiring comeback defines 10-0 Titans

NOVEMBER 12, 2015

BY CRAIG T. GREENLEE FOR THE CHRONICLE

With just under nine minutes left to play in the season finale, the road team was in dire straits.

West Forsyth was down by 11 points to once-beaten North Davidson. Its plans to finish the season undefeated was in serious jeopardy. It seemed inevitable that the Black Knights would spoil the party and secure first place in the Central Piedmont Conference.

The Titans refused to panic. Instead, they ignored all logic and scored twice over the final six minutes to deliver a 34-31 heart-thumping comeback win in JV football.

Thanks to the late flurry, West Forsyth kept its appoint-

Makhi Purvis of the Panthers finds running room against the Saints in the Cadets Division.

BY CRAIG T. GREENLEE FOR THE CHRONICLE

Five local teams are still alive in postseason play.

The South Fork Panthers had two teams to emerge victorious at the Division I American Youth Football State Championships held in Charlotte last week. The Pfafftown Packers, Kernersville Raiders and Tiny Indians also won state titles in their respective divisions.

The Panthers teams, along with the Raiders and Indians, advance to the AYF South Atlantic Regionals set for Saturday and Sunday in Charlotte. Regional winners qualify for the AYF National Championships scheduled for Dec. 6-13 in Kissimmee, Fla. Pfafftown was awarded a wild-card berth to the nationals. Here's a summary of the action in each age group: Pee Wees (11-12): Kernersville's Raiders bolted out of the starting blocks with three touchdowns in the first half

to set the tone in a 38-14 victory over the Mint Hill Mountaineers. In the process, the Raiders showcased considerable offensive balance.

Raneiria Dillworth and Antonio Yates of the Raiders put their big-play skills on full display with two touchdowns apiece. Dillworth scored on a 9-yard run and on a 63-yard pass from Caden Davis. Yates stunned the Mountaineers with a 78-yard touchdown run in the first

put the game out of reach.

At the start of the fourth quarter, QEA had pushed its lead to 50-31.

Corprew, a 6-feet-5 shooting guard, finished with a game-high 26 points and Ona Embo contributed 11 points.

Jaylan McGill came off the bench and provided a spark with 10 points.

“What I liked our resilience,” said Coach Isaac Pitts of QEA. “It was a close game at first and sometimes guys get down on themselves.

“But then we looked how we had played and realized that we had not put any pressure on them. The score (at the end of the first half) indicated that. So, we came out and did what we do (apply pressure) and that changed the outcome from what had happened earlier.”

The tenor of the game changed quickly at the begin-

ning of the second half. The Pharaohs pressure forced turnovers and took Moravian Prep out of its offensive rhythm. The first two-and-a-half minutes of the third quarter was the turning point as QEA went on a 10-0 run.

“It was a matter of making the adjustment at halftime to pick them up full court,” said Pitts. “We wanted to take the ball out of their point guard's hands and see if the rest of the team could handle the basketball.”

Tyler Hooker kept Moravian Prep in contention with his ball-handling and 3-point shooting in the first half. He was able to penetrate the defense, which enabled his teammates to get high-percentage shots.

Hooker connected on three 3-pointers in the opening half, but went scoreless for the remainder of the game.

QEA turns up heat to win opener

BY CRAIG T. GREENLEE FOR THE CHRONICLE

For the first 16 minutes of the game, it appeared that Quality Education Academy would get all it could handle in its basketball season opener against Moravian Prep. By the end the third quarter, however, the Pharaohs left no doubts regarding their dominance. The end result was a convincing 70-43 victory on their home court last Friday.

QEA, which led 24-21 at intermission, revved up its defense in the third quarter and Moravian Prep never recovered. During that stretch, the home team went on a withering 26-10 run. DeShawn Corprew and Renathan Ona Embo combined to score 17 points in that quarter to

ment with perfection and ended the season at 10-0.

“It was a championship game played by two very good teams,” said coach Jared Eure of West Forsyth.

“They could have just as easily beat us, just like we beat them. A lot of people thought it was over, but our kids fought to the end.”

The situation looked bleak for visitors early in the fourth quarter. North Davidson, up by four points, got a scintillating 70-yard touchdown run from Zi Russell to give his team a commanding 31-20 lead. From that point, the Titans defense stiffened and the offense took full advantage.

K e n y a r McPhatter found an opening around left end and scored from 13 yards out. Wide receiver Jamon Brown threw a pass on a reverse to Kallai Buyna for the two-point PAT to close the gap to 3128 with 4:31 left to play.

Another defensive stand allowed West Forsyth to get the ball back with 3:09 showing on the game clock.

“Our defense stepped up and got three, 3-andouts in a row,” said Eure.

“The offense got the ball back and we have the weapons to put the ball in the end zone. That's how we won. You play this game until there are two zeros (showing) on that clock. No matter what happens, win or lose, give it all you've got and play as hard

as you can. If you do that, then I can deal with the outcome.”

A mix of McPhatter runs and passes from Drew Latham to Brown set the stage for the game-winning 63-yard drive. McPhatter put his team on top for good with a 21-yard touchdown run with 1:50 remaining.

North Davidson (7-2) still had one last opportunity to tie the game or win it at the end. The Black Knights drove 50 yards to the Titans 35-yard line with 33 seconds left. On third down, quarterback Josh Sicignano fired a pass over the middle, which was intercepted by Bishop Davis, who was tackled after a 30-yard return as the final gun sounded.

W e s t Eure Forsyth came perilously close to gift-wrapping this game.

The Titans lost two fumbles on punt returns inside their own 15-yard line. The Black Knights scored 10 points of those turnovers to build a 24-20 working margin.

After recovering the first fumble, North Davidson edged ahead 2120 on Sicignano's 4-yard touchdown pass to Jacob LaFlesh and Jacob Yonts' conversion kick. On the next fumbled punt by the Titans, North Davidson took over in the red zone, but the Titans defense locked in and the Black Knights were forced to settle for Yonts' 21-yard field goal with 2:59 remaining in the third quarter.

“They were just determined and they didn't hang their heads. The kids fought for each other. The coaches made the calls, but it was the kids who executed out there on the field.”

The first half featured two ties and three lead changes. Latham had a hand in all of the Titans opening-half scoring with three touchdown passes.

Issac Sutton scored late in the fourth quarter on a 30-yard run. In the final seconds, Arrington Jones intercepted a pass and ran it back 97 yards for a touchdown.

Kernersville led 19-0 at halftime.

Mint Hill scored its first touchdown in the third quarter on Korey Hunter's 5-yard run. The Mountaineers scored again early in the fourth when Hunter fired a 29-yard pass to Bryan Stewart.

“Early in the game, we scored quickly, and that took Mint Hill out of its power running game,” said coach Dennis Dolesh.

“Another factor was our speed, which was too much for them to handle. I was very pleased with how much production we got from our passing game. Our offensive line protected well and that was key.”

Junior Midgets (12-13): It didn't take long for the Packers to overwhelm undermanned Mint Hill. Pfafftown was never pressed and won in a 46-6 blow-out.

“This was a case of our team having too much size and too much speed,” said coach Gary Warren. “So now, 'The Show' is going to Florida. We're going to work hard these next few weeks so we'll be prepared.”

Four first-half touchdowns was all the Packers needed to call this game a wrap.

G'Mone Wilson ran back the opening kickoff for an 82-yard touchdown and four minutes later, Ahmani Marshall bedazzled the Mountaineers with a 50-yard touchdown run. By intermission, the game belonged to the Packers, who bolted to a 28-0 lead.

Marshall and Jeremiahy Jackson finished the night with two touchdown runs apiece and Micah Crowell picked off a pass and ran it back 55 yards for a score early in the third quarter.

“This is the best group I've ever coached, and that's not only from a talent

aspect,” said Warren. “Grades, parental supports, attitude – they're the best in every way you can think of. Some have joined us from different organizations.

Many were the top players on the teams they came from, and they have sacrificed playing time and made the commitment it takes to compete at the highest possible level.”

Mighty Mites (9-and-Under): South Fork put the Gstop Sabres on lock-down from start to finish in a 19-0 win. For the defense, spearheaded by Khadlje (KJ) Johnson, it was the ninth consecutive shutout.

Johnson found an opening up the middle and ran 30 yards for South Fork's first touchdown. Gavin Hardy followed up with a 45-yard scoring run. Quesean Brown, whose nickname is “Mr. U-P-S,” added the finishing touches when he darted past defenders for a 62-yard touchdown.

“The key for us (on defense) was to contain the outside and bring pressure from the interior,” said coach Javon

Manley, whose team is 9-0. “As a unit, our defense played so well that I really can't single out any one player over the others.”

Tiny Mites (7-and-Under): The Tiny Indians made a second-half comeback to earn a 12-6 victory over the Gtop Sabres.

Trailing by a touchdown late in the third quarter, Jordan Tate scored on a 25-yard run off a quarterback bootleg to tie the game 6-6.

On the Sabres next offensive possession, Therin Thacker of the Indians recovered a fumble deep in Gtop's territory. A few plays later, Kolby Spainhour scored the game-winning touchdown on a 5-yard run.

“Our defense had its best game of the season,” said coach Leonard Green. “The Sabres had that long touchdown run (50 yards). But after that, everything they ran went for negative yardage. No doubt, that fumble was the game-changer.”

Junior Pee Wees (10-11): The Panthers defense delivered when it mattered most in a 14-7 win over the Gtop Sabres. With his

Emmanuel Nzekwesi finished with 10 points and was the only Moravian player to score in double figures.

Corprew, who has verbally committed to Arkansas-Little Rock, took the game over in the third quarter with an 11-point outburst. One sequence involving Corprew from the night stands out. From the top of the key, he sliced through defenders, ele-

vated in traffic, and hit a floater while making contact with a would-be shotblocker. At the end of the play, he shouted, “And one.”

“I felt that I had an excellent game in the second half,” said Corprew. “Other than that, I'm trying to get to the basket and get the ball to the shooters, so that everybody gets involved (in the offense). We're still getting to know each other. I believe we're going to have a very good team this season.”

team clinging to an 8-7 lead with 6:26 to go in the game, Nasir Graham stripped a Sabres runner of the ball in the end zone and Jahnaul Ritzie-Pouncey recovered for the game-winning score.

Gtop put together a frantic scoring drive in the waning seconds. On the final play of the game, Panthers cornerback Charles Miller made an open-field tackle on a Sabres receiver at the 5-yard line to prevent Gtop from potentially tieing the game.

Tremaine Pate put South Fork (9-0) on top when he scored on a 25-yard touchdown run in the first quarter. The Panthers gave up their first touchdown of the seasonF in the state title game. A year ago, South Fork finished third at the AYF nationals.

“All season long we've stood on our defense which has bailed us out,” saidp coach Steve Keaton. “This team showed heart. They could have laid down after the Sabres scored on that long touchdown run, 0 but they didn't.”

Although this wasn't a high-scoring contest, quarterback Kamron Hill's accu-W rate passing helped his team establish enough offensive balance to keep the Sabres defense from focusing on stopping the run. On defense, Will Mensh was a key contributor at cornerback.

Cadets (9-10): James Galloway scored twice in the first half, but it wasn't enough to keep the Panthers from suffering a 2512 loss to the Beatties Ford Saints.

The game was tied 12-12 at the half and stayed that way until late in the third quarter when the Saints scored on a short run. They added a final score in the fourthp F quarter to seal the victory.

On two occasions, Galloway took a hand-off on a reverse and outmaneuvered the defense on touchdown runs of 30 and 75 yards.

“Turnovers killed us today,” said firstyear head coach Jamal Hill, whose team finished the season at 8-1. “They capitalized off our mistakes. But our kids continued to fight until the very end. You can't ask for more than that.”

Local church excited about future with Bishop Curry Rev. Dr. Hector Sintim addresses the congregation as St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church on Sunday, Nov. 8.

BY TIMOTHY RAMSEY FOR THE CHRONICLE

St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church, 810 N. Highland Ave. in Winston-Salem, is where Michael Curry, the new presiding bishop of the U.S. Episcopal Church, served as deacon in charge from 1978-1982. Rev. Dr. Hector Sintim, priest in charge at St. Stephen’s, called Curry’s ascension to the position “an opportunity for change.

A church member, Gertrude Murchison, was on the search committee that elected Curry to the Diocese of North Carolina in the year 2000, where he served as bishop until recently when he was chosen presiding bishop of the U.S. Episcopal Church.

Murchison was asked about her experience in the welcoming party during the installation of Curry in Washington D.C. on Nov. 1 at the Washington National Cathedral.

She said, “It was a wonderful experience and there were people from all over the U.S. and the service was outstanding.

Bishop Curry is special, he is full of fire and God has his hand on him and I think that is wonderful.”

Sintim touched on the state of the Episcopal Church on Sunday, Nov. 8, by saying that the church is going through a transformation from the standpoint of leadership and becoming more open minded and accepting than in previous years.

“To us, it’s a new opportunity for change. We are anticipating with Bishop Curry and the Pope, they can affect the religious community thereby affecting the world, because the Catholic and Episcopal Church are the most dominating and recognized churches in the world,” said Sintim of the installation of Bishop Curry.

He went on to say, “We are in a tough time and we need tough leaders to bring a transformation to the world, not only for those who go to church, but also for those who do not, so that we may deal with the issues of the day, issues of the economy, and issues of the world.”

Sintim finished by say-

ing, “Bishop Michael Curry is what we call an Ubuntu leader, which means ‘You are because I am, I am because you are.

Part of you is in me and part of me is in you and therefore for me to be able to function effectively, I need you and you need me.’ Bishop Curry is one of the most charismatic leaders of all the Bishops and that was one of the criteria of why he was chosen for the position and with him in charge, there will be a lot of transformation and some members may slip out, but the strong ones will stay and then we can change our community, change our nation and change our world.”

The sermon at St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church, 810 N. Highland Ave., told of relationships after Vietnam veterans returned home as the church honored the veterans of the congregation on Sunday, Nov. 8.

Veterans Day is celebrated on Nov. 11. It commemorates the end of World War I and is widely known as a day of peace.

St. Stephen’s has been celebrating the veterans and their families for years. U.S. Army veteran William Gore commented on the day’s events

by saying, “St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church always tries to celebrate Veterans Day to recognize those members of the church that served in the armed forces.”

The veterans of the church were recognized by the entire congregation, and all who participated stood and told which branch they were affiliated with and their years of service and even which wars they were involved in.

Following the recognition of the veterans, the Rev. William Pendleton delivered a heartfelt sermon where he recounted his experiences with his

brother and close friend after they returned from the Vietnam War and the trials and tribulations they endured upon return from overseas.

He also gave thanks to the veterans who were present in the congregation. The Rev. Dr. Hector Sintim, Priest in Charge, then personally thanked the veterans by shaking their hands one by one.

After the service, the veterans posed for a group photo with Rev. Sintim and then enjoyed a meal in the fellowship hall with church members.

atkins has a science, technology, engineering, and mathematics based program and was chosen based on a rigorous application and recommendation process. herbalife is a technology based company and was, therefore, very interested in the school's programs. the school, with its specialized curriculum, draws from all residential areas across the system. instructor terry howerton gave class members thomas hicks, andrea Mickle Bush, annie Sims howard, larnettra Banner-richardson, along with annie tyson Jett, director of human resources for herbalife, a guided tour of the school. the purpose of the visit and tour was to gain a better understanding of the school's areas of concentration and functions, what it thereby offers to students by their matriculation, and potential effects on their futures and careers in the society of today and tomorrow.

Students were observed in classrooms and in various areas. learning is hands on,

collaborative and working together to problem solve. Several students had questions about atkins high School, while expressing desires to know more about its history and alumni. Student career interests include occupations in science, engineering biology, technology, mathematics, biotechnology, medicine, nursing, and occupations focusing on problems that affect the environment and climate change. after-school activities include art, the alternative Fuels club, chess club, culinary arts club, Drill team, Glee club/Show choir, health occupations, the Student association, Junior leadership, academic Bowl, Marching Band, national honor Society, athletics, rotc, and more.

Students participate in local, state, and national competitions. any student involved in these programs is automatically enrolled in the "it's My call Program." the program is open to all students and membership requires responsible behavior in life choices and

includes random drug tests. the class of 1968 supports the school's focus, mission, and academic goals and through class president thomas hicks, has worked with herbalife to obtain a donation above $2,000 for computers and competition shirts for the school's teams. atkins is very appreciative of the efforts of the class and herbalife and grateful for their support. the class also donated school supplies after the tour. noted hall of Fame athletes from the class of 1968 were olin carter, Waddell cockerham, Bernard Foster, William Gunn, Donald Jackson, Joseph Payne, reginald Scales and James Webster. class officials say the class looks forward to continuing efforts and support of the students and staff in their endeavors and to aid in preparing the student population for bright, successful, and productive futures.

WSSU’s Flack gains UNC system honor SPecial to the chronicle

Dr. Sylvia a. Flack, executive director of Winston-Salem State University’s (WSSU) center of excellence for the elimination of health Disparities, is one of two Unc system faculty members who recently received the 2015 James e. holshouser Jr. award for excellence in Public Service, given by the Board of Governors of the 17campus University of north carolina. the award, named in memory of the late north carolina governor, was established in 2007 to encourage, identify, recognize and reward distinguished public service and outreach by faculty across the 17-campus University.

Winners must demonstrate sustained, distinguished achievement in university public service

Unc President tom ross and board Vice chairman lou Bissette presented the 2015 awards, which carry a $7,500 cash prize, recently. “this is really exciting, really surprising,” Flack said.

“With Gov. holshouser’s vision and the way that he worked, i think it’s really important because in my quest to eliminate health disparities in Forsyth county, i’ve involved everyone i can involve. i think it’s important that people know how significant it is to become involved in what’s going on in the community.”

FROM THE MAYA ANGELOU CENTER FOR HEALTH EQUITY

Diabetes continues to be a significant health issue in our community, and the statistics nationally and in our home state of North Carolina are increasingly alarming. * 29.1 million people in the US, or 9.3 percent of the population have diabetes. * Of those, 8.1 million people are unaware that they have the disease. *It costs nearly $275 billion each year for diabetes related treatment.

*African-Americans are up to 2.5 times more likely to develop diabetes compared to whites. *African-Americans are not only more likely to develop Type 2 diabetes, but they are also more likely to suffer from some of the health problems associated with diabetes, such as amputations, kidney disease and blindness. *In N.C., almost 11 percent of people have diabetes, with two-thirds of those being AfricanAmerican.

*The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) predict 1 in 3 Americans will have diabetes by 2050.

What is diabetes?

According to the American Diabetes Association (ADA), diabetes is a disease in which the body does not produce or properly use insulin. The cause of diabetes continues to be a mystery, although studies have shown that both genetics (meaning it may run in your family) and environmental factors such as obesity and lack of exercise appear to play a role in developing diabetes.

There are four main types of diabetes: Pre-diabetes, Type 1, Type 2 and Gestational. Diabetes often goes undiagnosed because many of its symptoms seem so harmless.

Symptoms of diabetes can include: frequent urination, excessive thirst, extreme hunger, unusual weight loss, increased fatigue, irritability and blurry vision.

Pre-diabetes – Pre-diabetes is a condition that occurs when a person's blood glucose levels are higher than normal but not high enough for a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes. There are 54 million Americans who have pre-diabetes, in addition to the 20.8 million with diabetes.

Type 1 diabetes – Type 1 happens when our bodies fail to produce insulin. It is estimated that 5 percent to 10 percent of Americans who are diagnosed with diabetes have type 1 diabetes.

Type 2 diabetes – Type 2 happens when our bodies fail to properly use insulin that we produce. Most Americans who are diagnosed with diabetes have type 2 diabetes, about 90 percent to 95 percent.

Gestational diabetes – Occurs when diabetes develops during pregnancy.

Gestational diabetes affects about 4 percent of all pregnant women – about 135,000 cases in the United States each year.

If you are overweight, live a sedentary (inactive) lifestyle, have a family history of diabetes, have prediabetes, have high blood pressure, and/or if you are a woman who has had gestational diabetes, you are at risk of developing diabetes.

Diabetes vocabulary There are many terms

that are used when talking about diabetes and its associated problems, but they are not often explained in a way that is easy to understand. Adapted from the ADA, we have prepared a mini-glossary of diabetes related terms for you below.

Pancreas – an organ that is located behind the stomach, whose job is to produce insulin, along with other hormones. These aid us in digesting the food we eat and using the nutrients and minerals to make our bodies function properly.

Insulin – Produced by the pancreas, insulin is a hormone that is needed to convert sugar, starches and other food into energy needed for daily life.

Insulin Resistance – is a condition in which the cells of our body become resistant to the effects of insulin, that is, the normal response to a given amount of insulin is reduced. As a result, higher levels of insulin are needed in order for insulin to have its effects. IR is often noted as a precursor to pre-diabetes and diabetes.

Things to keep in mind when you are first diagnosed: It is difficult to hear that you or a loved one have been diagnosed with diabetes, but it’s important to keep in mind that the disease is treatable. While it is a serious chronic disease, people with diabetes can still live long, active, healthy lives.

The key to living with diabetes is working with your doctor and other healthcare providers to manage the disease. When you receive your diagnosis, it is crucial that you make time to talk with your healthcare team about your care. Together, you can come up with a treatment plan that will work best for you.

It is so important to take an active role in your health care; after all, your well-being is on the line!

There are many treatment options available to you, including oral and/or injection medications.

Treatment for diabetes also includes developing a healthy eating plan and increasing your physical activity to maintain a healthy weight.

Let’s talk treatment Whether you have Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes, it is essential that you learn how to monitor your blood glucose (“sugar”), so you can maintain a proper level and avoid problems like hypoglycemia (too low blood sugar), hyperglycemia (too high blood sugar), and ketoacidosis (a build of acids in your blood that can cause someone to go into a coma). Let’s talk about the different ways in which we can manage blood glucose.

Lose excess weight.

We all know how difficult it is to lose weight, but it is so important for people with diabetes to maintain a healthy body weight. One simple way to determine whether you are overweight is to measure your body mass index (BMI), which is a ratio of your weight to your height. The CDC (www.cdc.gov) has a free BMI calculator on their website under Conditions > Obesity. A BMI of 25 or greater means that you are overweight, and a BMI of 30 or greater means you are obese. Not only does being overweight increase your chances of diabetes complications, but it also increases your risk for other conditions, including heart disease, osteoarthritis, and stroke. A good way

CLASSIFIEDS

T H E C H R ON I C LE

Diabetes continues in epidemic proportions THE PEOPLE’S CLINIC

B8 NOVEMBER 12, 2015

to get started is to calculate 5 percent of your body weight and lose that much.

For instance, a person who weighs 200 pounds can lose 10 pounds (5 percent ) to take the first steps in reducing their risk for complications.

Eat a healthy diet. This doesn’t mean you can never have sweets again! It simply means that sweets need to be eaten only in moderation, as part of a sensible diet, and combined with physical activity. Learning about portion sizes and what counts as a “serving” is crucial. You can talk to a dietician to learn about portion sizes and the types of food you can eat; together, you can develop an eating plan that will work for you and help control your diabetes. Also, to find out how to eat right, you can call the American Diabetes Association.

(ADA) has some healthy recipes available for free on their website: www.diabetes.org. The ADA recommends: * Limiting the amount of calories, fat and saturated fat in your diet is one key. Limiting these foods means eating lean meats, fish or poultry, choosing reduced fat snacks, and cutting back on added fats such as butter or mayonnaise. * Limiting the portion sizes of your meals, especially when eating out, is very important. Eating foods that are high in fiber also helps keep the blood sugar down and gives you that feeling of “fullness” so you can avoid getting too many calories.

Eating whole wheat breads, fruits and vegetables and whole grain cereals are the best choices. * Limiting the amount of salt that you add when cooking and at the table.

This is especially important if you have high blood pressure.

Get moving! Physical activity is important for everyone, especially for people with diabetes. Did you know that being active can help keep blood glucose levels in check? That is because it makes your body more sensitive to insulin. The Diabetes Prevention Program was a large study conducted with people with pre-diabetes for the purpose of learning how to prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes.

This study found that exercising just 30 minutes a day 5 or more days out of the week can reduce the risk of developing diabetes or its complications. If you’re currently inactive, you may need to work your way up to 30 minutes a day, and that’s okay. Remember that it’s crucial to talk with your doctor before beginning any exercise regimen to help design a program that will work for you, given your current weight and activity status.

Adhere to your doctor’s recommendations for medications. Adherence means that you take your medication exactly as your doctor prescribed all the time.

If you have pre-diabetes or have not been diagnosed with diabetes, but have any of the controllable risk factors, it is critical that you achieve a healthy weight, eat a healthy diet, and increase your physical activity to reduce your risk of developing diabetes. If you have been diagnosed, it’s essential to control your diabetes to reduce your risk of complications.
