congress passed last year and the reduction of “unnecessary rules and regulation.” Adams, democrat who represents the north

Ward on the city council, listed numerous issues, including raising the minimum wage, a tax code that promotes growth in rural

areas, a single payer healthcare system, free community college tuition, and ending vouchers while giving public education more

resources.

While there were no real attacks between the candidates, Adams questioned Foxx’s claim that

she voted for hurricane Florence relief. “i don’t know how true it is, but the papers and media said that rep. Foxx, you didn’t support the relief to Florence or Matthew and some others,” said Adams. “And if you’ve gone back and changed that, i’m good with that.”

Foxx voted against $1.68 billion in Florence funding in an FAA reauthorization bill, but did later vote for adding $8.8 billion to FeMA’s disaster relief Fund. She also voted for hurricane Matthew relief in a 2016 continuing resolution. Foxx does have a history of controversial votes on hurricane relief, including voting against a debt deal with hurricane harvey relief. She was one of only 11 votes against a $50 billion plan for hurricane katrina in 2005 because she said there was no oversight or plan on how to spend the money.

Last week, rams from across the country descended on the city as Winston-Salem State university celebrated its homecoming. headlined by events such as the Musical extravaganza, Miss and Mister WSSu coronation,

wreath laying ceremony, the red and Black Affair, and of course, the homecoming football game at Bowman Gray Stadium, this year's theme was Forever red, celebrating the legacy and loyalty of WSSu. That loyalty was on full display on Saturday, oct. 20. despite an 80 percent chance of rain and a sky filled with

on Sunday, oct. 21, Barbara Burke and Malashi Woodbury, district 1 Board of education members-elect, held a meet and greet and ice cream social at the WinstonSalem nAAcP headquarters.

While the event, hosted by the nAAcP, carver Alumni Association, and several other organizations, was designed to introduce Burke and Woodbury to their conCAMPAIGN stituents in district 1, the gathering quickly turned into a heated debate on current issues plaguing local schools.

To jumpstart the event, county commissioner Fleming el-Amin led the group in prayer before Burke and Woodbury spoke briefly about their plans as members of the Winston-Salem/Forsyth county Schools (WS/FcS) Board of education.

Burke, who has over 25 years of experience working in education and currently an assistant principal at carver high School, said education is something she has been always connected to and as a member of the Board of education she will do whatever is in the best interest of the students.

She said, "...Whatever is not equitable for every school in our district, i will not vote for. We have to have people on the school board who are bold enough to say what is not popular, what other people might not like, but what will be right and what will be equitable."

Candidates for sheriff and county commissioners told voters why they deserve their vote during the final forum held last Wednesday by the WinstonSalem Chamber of Commerce at Forsyth Tech’s West Campus.

The sheriff candidates were Sheriff Bill Schatzman and his democratic challenger Bobby kimbrough. Schatzman, who was first elected in 2002, said his department deals with cybercrime, identify theft, everyday crime and drug related offenses regularly. he emphasized the responsibility of parents, schools and churches in raising children to avoid a life of crime and not use drugs. he said the Sheriff’s office does outreach in the schools to encourage kids to stay on the straight and narrow. “you can’t arrest your way out of social ills,” said Schatzman. kimbrough, a former deA (drug

“We’ve got to go back and strengthen our communities and recognize that we all have a say in this because it’s our community,” he said.

For At-Large County Commissioner, there was democratic incumbent Ted kaplan and challengers republican A.L. “Buddy” Collins and Green Party Candidate keenen Altic.

on a question about encouraging innovation and investment, Adams evoked the City Council’s role in the innovation Quarter and other public-private partnerships that helped Winston-Salem transition from its dependence on the tobacco and manufacturing industries.

“Winston-Salem had to reinvent itself and i’m proud to say i had my fingerprints all over it for the past decade,” she said.

Woodbury, who currently works as a project coordinator for the Guilford County School System, has over 20 years of experience working in education and is a founding member of the Coalition for equity in Public education. A 1992 graduate of Carver high School, Woodbury said a point of emphasis for her will be having open lines of communication with the community.

She also discussed the

importance of having equitable schools "one of my main points of reference is being connected to the community," she continued. "i believe all of the schools in Winston-Salem/Forsyth County need to be strong so all of our children and families can enjoy a great education and have a wonderful experience."

After Burke and Woodbury finished, Commissioner el-Amin took a moment to encourage those in attendance to vote "yes" on the quartercent tax increase that is on the november ballot. el-

Amin explained that the increase would be used to increase teacher supplement pay across the district if the Board of education approves.

Although it wasn't his intention, el-Amin's call to action sparked an unplanned question and answer session when a local teacher asked, "What money goes toward materials and books?"

She continued, "i'm asking because i've been a teacher for about 25 years now and the last time we purchased text books was about 12 years ago." eric Martin, who

kaplan said the county plays a vital role in economic growth by using incentives to attract and retain businesses. The county helps to educate and train the future workforce by funding public schools and Forsyth Technical Community College. he said Forsyth Tech will soon break ground on an Aviation Career development Center at Smith reynolds Airport, which is owned by the county. he said managing the county’s growth is one of the commissioner's biggest challenges.

“Part of that is going to be new school facilities, which the county commissioners are involved in,” said kaplan. “Some of it’s going to be in welfare issues, some of it is public health and mental health.”

Collins said the county needs both a stable tax rate and steady tax base. he said it needs an educated, trained workforce that’ll be attractive to companies that want to come to Forsyth County. he said schools need to be a priority and that there is no excuse for hungry children with

done a “fantastic job” in transforming itself and that private-public partnerships are important, but felt that “at the core of that is freedom,” including lower taxes and less regulation.

When asked about recent hurricanes, Adams said that climate change needs to be taken seriously. Foxx had a different view.

“We’ve had extreme weather events for a long time, they aren’t exactly a recent phenomena and, again, we’ve coped with them over the years,” she said. “i think because of the advent of 24-hour news and some other things, they seem to be a little worse recently.”

worked for the local school system for more than 25 years before retiring, said the reason schools don't have textbooks is because WS/FCS decided not to buy books any more, instead choosing to use the funds from the state on other things. "i'm the individual who purchased the books for over 25 years. The reason you don't have books in the classroom is because Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools chose not to purchase them," he continued. "...

unmet medical needs in Forsyth County. A former state and local school board member, Collins criticized the county for relying on the quarter-cent sales tax referendum to fund teacher pay increases.

“To the extent that our teachers need supplement pay increases, that should be part of the budget from the get-go and not afterwards,” he said.

Altic touched on numerous issues including affordable housing, education, a living wage and local eviction rates. he said working people need to be united so they can establish workplace democracy and democratic ownership of resources. he emphasized economic inequality in his remarks.

“There’s not been a recovery for the working people since the capitalist crash of 2008 in which we bailed them out and the 99 percent didn’t get bailed out,” said Altic. “The wealthiest 1 percent now own more than the bottom 90 percent.”

they decided they didn't need to spend that much on books."

As the only sitting school board member in attendance, elizabeth Motsinger felt the need to speak up after Martin’s comments. She said, "There is not enough state money coming in, and we are paying less per pupil than we were before the recession in 2006.

"Where money for text books went was to keep teacher assistants in classrooms when on the state level they cut out teacher assistant pay," said Motsinger. "... We chose

people. We chose not to have massive layoffs during a recession and letting people go that's where the money went." others topics that were discussed during the impromptu town hall was the current make-up of the Board of education, and Ashley elementary.

Although the meet and greet didn't go as planned, both Burke and Woodbury mentioned that the gathering is something they plan to do regularly to get a feel for what the residents in district 1 would like to see from the board.

County Commissioners Ted Kaplan, left, and Don Martin put together a sign to place in the campaigning space in the parking deck of the Forsyth County Government Center last Thursday, Oct. 18, as Early Voting Assistant Betty Craven looks on. The CAMPAIGN sign, paid for by the Committee for Forsyth Article 46 Sales Tax, promotes the county’s quarter-cent sales tax that’s on the ballot, which will go to cover debt from building a new courthouse, with 40 percent of excess revenues it generates allocated for local public schools. It’s one of numerous signs at the Government Center, which is one of 10 early voting sites now open. On Wednesday, Oct. 17, the first day of early voting, 5,523 votes were cast, elections officials said. This is a large increase from the 1,029 votes cast on the first day in 2014, when there was only one early voting site open.

County applies for opioid grant to help needle exchange

BY TODD LUCK THE CHRONICLE

Last week, county commissioners voted to let the Forsyth County Department of Public Health apply for a state grant of up to $100,000 to help a local needle exchange program.

If the county is awarded the one-time 10-month grant, the funds will help the Twin City Harm Reduction Coalition expand its hours and outreach. The non-profit operates the county’s only needle and syringe exchange, which is located at Green Street United Methodist Church.

During a briefing earlier this month, Assistant Health Director Tony Lo Giudice said it currently only has one part-time employee and is open nine hours a week. The grant will be used to fund three part-time positions and will also cover allowable supplies, advertisement and administration of the grant. The money cannot be used to buy the overdose drug naxolone, which is also known as Narcan. By state law, public funds cannot be used to purchase needles and syringes for exchanges.

“This grant will help them to operate 30 to 40 hours a week and allow them to do more community outreach, therefore bringing in more clients,” said Lo Giudice.

Needle exchanges, which became legal in the state in July 2017, attempt to reduce disease transmission and other problems that stem from intravenous drug use by collecting used needles and syringes, which it incinerates, and providing clean supplies. It also distributes Narcan and provides access to services, like addiction treatment referrals.

“The end goal is to get these folks into treatment and get some help,” said Lo Giudice.

The local needle exchange is a member of Forsyth County’s Opioid Task Force, along with various local government agencies that deal with opioids. The Health Department’s POSSE program provides testing for HIV, Hepatitis and other diseases there once a week.

The grant is being offered by the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services using money from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control. The grant, which only health departments can apply for, funds efforts to mitigate the opioid crisis. Along with needle exchanges, the grant is also offered for addiction treatment for those in the justice system, post-overdose response teams, Fair Chance hiring policies for those with criminal records, and rapid re-housing services for the homeless.

in 1953, the institution known as Winston-Salem Teacher’s College established its School of nursing for African-Americans who had a passion for medicine and helping others. Today, nearly 50,000 Winston-Salem State University students have received their degree in nursing from the illustrious hBCU and the program is regarded as one of the best in the country. on Thursday, oct. 18, dozens of graduates returned to campus to celebrate the rich history of the program and raise funds for the next generation of rams in the School of nursing. The annual nurses Alumni Gala serves as a fundraiser for the nursing hardship Fund, a scholarship designed to help nursing students who have fallen on hard times earn their degree.

During this year's red carpet event held inside the Mcneil Ballroom at the Anderson Center, the 2017 nursing hardship Fund recipients talked about how the scholarship helped them when they had nowhere else to turn.

Junior Mejii Jackson, who is also a mother and first generation college student, said on the day she received her acceptance letter into the School of nursing, she was in a car accident that left her with medical bills and threatened to force her to leave nursing School. Jackson said after talking to faculty and staff, she heard about the alumni scholarship program and decided to apply. "... Without that assistance, i wouldn't have been able to continue here at the university and even graduate. i hope i can give back to the students that are in need."

Junior Adegbenjo Aderounmu, who works part-time at Chic-fil-A, fell on hard times when his car broke down and he didn't have transportation to campus for class or work. Aderounmu said at the same time he was facing countless fees from the nursing program, in addition to rent and other bills.

"After asking people for rides to class, work, clinical and everywhere else i had to go for nearly a month, this is when the nursing Alumni organization stepped in," he said. "i'm deeply appreciative of the nursing Alumni organization and what they've done for me. "... Words cannot begin to express my gratitude for this opportunity and i look forward to continuing to make the best of it."

Following dinner and the keynote address by Dr. Cecil holland, a 1989 WSSU graduate and current Associate Dean of nursing, alumni and other supporters of the School of nursing danced the night away.

While discussing the success of the School of nursing with Dr. Clifton Kenon Jr., president of the nursing Alumni organization, Chancellor elwood robinson said he believes with the work they've done in nursing and other areas of the medical field, WSSU has one of the best health Science Departments in the country. "i'm proud of not only nursing but our entire School of health Sciences. i believe that we have the top School of health Sciences in the country," robinson said.

Property Tax Reappraisal Request The city sent another request to the Forsyth County commissioners to reexamine the county’s process for property tax reappraisals as some areas in predominately African-American communities continued to see declines in residential property values even as 70 percent of properties saw an increase in 2017. The city resolution says that rent on some properties seems to indicate a higher property value than they’re appraised at. It also suggested interiors of homes should be inspected during the reappraisal process, instead of just doing that when a homeowner appeals. The next reappraisal will take place in 2021.

New City Website and App The council approved a five-year contract not to exceed $233,641 with CivicPlus, Inc to create and host a new city website and mobile application. The city’s current website was implemented six years ago and is hosted in the city’s data centers. The contract involves creating an Alpha website to test the new site that the City Council and public will get to view and give feedback on before it’s finalized. The app CivicPlus will develop will give city staff freedom to determine what content and services from the city’s site should be on the app. Along with the five-year contract, the city also plans to purchase consulting services, not to exceed $50,000, from CivicPlus and/or one of its partner agencies for software development to integrate the new site with various city services.

Lake Park Subdivision Covenants The council amended the declaration of covenants, rights, conditions and restrictions for the Lake Park Subdivision in East Winston. The City of Winton-Salem acquired 22 vacant lots in Lake Park this year. At the behest of residents there, the covenants were altered to make sure that any homes built on those lots are up to same quality as what’s there now.

For as long as he can remember, romi White has had a passion and gift for working on cars and other vehicles. White said he started at an early age working on mopeds for friends in his neighborhood. "i was young when i first started working on mopeds, scooters, dirt bikes and stuff like that, so my attention was always on fixing things," said White. "i used to fix everybody’s mopeds and gocarts in happy hill Gardens. i was fixing everybody’s stuff and that's how i made a name for myself."

Around 2001, after he started having behavior problems in school and had a few run-ins with the law, White was introduced to the men who would become his mentors and help him turn his life around, Antonio Stevenson and Dave Moore. White said with help from Stevenson, he found out about Moore's program at Southside rides and his passion grew even more. "his plan was to keep me out of trouble, and i took a liking to him because he showed he cared and he was like a big brother to me," said White when asked about his relationship with Stevenson. "i listened to him and he turned me on to Dave Moore, and he took me and a couple of other guys in. i stuck with it and learned the trade and i was one of the most successful people to come through that program."

Although he had been working on his craft for a few years, it wasn't until 2007 that White realized he had found his calling. "in 2007 the new Dodge Chargers had just

After working from his home for a few years, two months ago White opened romi White Auto repair at a garage on Patterson Avenue. White said Moore introduced him to the owner of the building, Ali Amer, and the rest is history.

And that's exactly what he did. less than two weeks after opening, the garage was full.

Just as Stevenson and Moore refused to let him fall victim to the streets, White has vowed to do the same. Several times during an interview with The Chronicle, White said, "This is more than just a garage."

Voting will provide victory over suppressors

Talk to older black Americans and they can tell you some tales about voting under Jim Crow, which was in the 20th century. They can tell you about the voter suppression designed to keep black people from voting, such as having to say how many things were in a jar – name your item – before they could even register to vote.

This is the 21st century, and the powers that be are still trying to suppress voting, but now more than black people are targets. It seems that people who don’t look like, or act like or in the past voted like Republicans are targets.

We need to remember people died for our right to vote. Our right to vote is in the U.S. Constitution, but the powers that be have found ways to work around that minor detail.

Add to this discriminatory setting the fact that those in control gained their authority by less than ethical or democratic means, because they designed unconstitutional avenues to power and control. Only a person of unusual conviction and tenacity would be willing to endure this environment.

Three-term N.C. Rep. Evelyn Terry is a person of unusual conviction and tenacity. Someone had to venture into the Republican controlled legislature that by design was hostile and dismissive of all Democrats, and she stepped forward to faithfully work on behalf of all citizens of the 71st District.

Don’t underestimate the power of the vote. We live in challenging times and events that are threatening to our way of life are happening every day.

Recently, there was an uproar about the selection of Brett Kavanaugh as a Supreme Court justice.

There are other issues on the American landscape that bear our attention. It is not necessary to delineate each one because we know them all too well.

However, I will say that issues of Social Security, immigration and gun control will not go away. They are here to stay.

We hear about and read about these issues but what can we do about them?

How can we get our voices heard? It’s simple. We vote! Currently, we have

too many people in office that vote no to the issues that affect us. Just yesterday, there was a commercial on television about a politician who doesn’t care about us. I switched channels. I have no patience for legislators who want to keep a certain segment of the population down.

Now is the time to be proactive. Early voting has already started in some states, including North Carolina. If you cannot vote early, then vote in November. Reports suggest that record numbers of people will vote in the upcoming midterm elections. The reports sound good, but I am cautious.

We have all read about projections before and they turned out to be untrue.

The only way to ensure a strong voter turnout is to galvanize the electorate.

Our community organizations and churches must make special efforts to get our citizens out to vote.

Unfortunately, too many independents believed the hype of hope that was being spread. It is my hope that large numbers of them will vote for the much-needed change we need. Despite hard evidence to the contrary, too many white women voted for men who were sexist and against women’s rights. They, too, were hoodwinked during the last election cycle. I hope they will finally see the light.

If you are a person of color like me, leave your house and vote. Let us be restless about our voting privilege. And let us be bold and beautiful enough to vote. We cannot let apathy stand in the way.

Would you buy a pig in a poke?

Stephen Boyd

Guest Columnist

The N.C. Constitution is the basis of our state’s government.

If approved by voters, the six constitutional amendments on the ballot this fall will affect our government (and our lives) for decades to come.

The amendments legislators have offered to voters are neither necessary nor clear. In fact, they are unnecessary, vague, and misleading.

For example, the first amendment listed—at the very end of an exceptionally long ballot—purports to protect “the right of the people to hunt, fish, and harvest wildlife.” Despite

the implication, there is absolutely no threat to that right in our state.

The second amendment protects “the absolute basic rights for victims” of crimes. This amendment, drafted by a California billionaire, would clog our courts, cost taxpayers tens of millions of dollars annually (with no funding source identified), and delay justice for everyone.

The third amendment caps the state income rate at percent. This may sound like a tax cut for you, but instead it is another break for the wealthiest among us at the expense of our state’s basic needs. After all, our income taxes pay for things necessary for all of us—public schools, clean air and water, disaster recovery, roads, transportation, parks, public health services and public safety. As a teacher recently asked, “How can I vote

for this when I don’t have erasers in my class?”

Given the realities of our changing economy, this amendment would simply mean that property and sales taxes will inevitably have to rise, hitting the middle class, working people, and the working poor harder, at the expense of our other basic needs.

The voter photo ID amendment is a solution searching for a problem. A study of our elections from 2000-2012 found that there were TWO cases of voter impersonation, the only form of impropriety an ID mandate can prevent.

Further, the amendment does not specify what form of photo ID will be required. The courts have already blocked, as discriminatory, one such law passed by the General Assembly. Even for those in favor of photo ID, there is no way to know what

you are voting for and how much it will cost.

The fifth amendment on “filling judicial vacancies” essentially shifts that responsibility from the governor, elected by all N.C. voters, to a small group of power-hungry legislators seeking partisan gains. As a result, all living former N.C .Supreme Court Chief Justices and five governors, from both major parties, oppose this amendment.

The final amendment would purportedly “establish an eight-member bipartisan Board of Ethics and Elections Enforcement.” This is both unnecessary and misleading. N.C. already has a Bipartisan Board of Elections. The amendment would remove the unaffiliated member and promote partisan gridlock. All former governors and chief justices, from both major

Writer, philosopher Mark Twain is often credited with saying, “Everybody talks about the weather, but nobody does anything about it.”

Whether it was Twain or someone else, there is no denying that as the 2018 hurricane season draws to a close, the weather is a factor on the minds of millions of individuals who live along the nation’s coastlines.

Yet, even as some coastal residents become increasingly concerned about living in the path of such devastating hurricanes as Florence and Michael, beachfront living

continues to have a strong attraction for millions of families.

“There is an ongoing trend for people to settle near the coasts despite their concern about hurricanes,” said Mike Washburn, president at Exit Realty of the Carolinas, based in Charleston, S.C. “There is just no denying the fact that civilization enjoys coastal living,” he added, “and it’s a trend that will continue.”

Washburn said his business was seriously disrupted for weeks after Hurricane Florence dumped trillions of gallons of water on communities in eastern North Carolina.

“There was so much flooding and so many roads were blocked that we just couldn’t get into some areas until recently,” he explained.

District Court Judges Griffin and Ray have solid records as trial judges. However, it's Candidate Hampson, who also clerked for Court of Appeals Judge Wanda Bryant and others on the court, who is best qualified for this job.

N.C. Supreme Court: The race for the seat currently held by Justice Barbara Jackson

By virtue of experience and credentials, incumbent Justice Barbara Jackson leads the three-candidate field running for the only N.C. Supreme Court seat on the 2018 ballot. Jackson, well known for her early career service as General Counsel for the N.C. Dept of Labor, earned undergrad and law degrees at UNC-Chapel Hill and a master's in judicial studies at Duke Law, spent six years as a N.C. Court of Appeals judge and the last eight years as an associate justice on the N.C. Supreme Court.

Notably, while Jackson served on the Court of Appeals, she authored the unanimous opinion in Womack v. Kitty Hawk public records case. In that case, the town was sued for failure to release public personnel and other records in possession of the town attorney. Jackson, joined by Court of Appeals judges Geer and Calabria, recited the key rules for interpreting the Public Records Law and held that Kitty Hawk had been validly sued for access to the records.

Neither of Jackson's opponents show any judging experience at the appellate level or any judicial experience at all, for that matter. Candidate Anita Earls earned

The current legislature plans to re-convene on Nov. 29, following the election, to pass laws specifying the effects about which they refuse to be honest with us now. The same legislators who put these amendments on the ballot –not the new legislators whom we will elect on Nov. 6 – will then get to write those laws to cement their undemocratic agenda, all to the detriment of North Carolina.

My daddy always told me not to buy a pig in a poke; I will vote AGAINST on all six amendments. I hope you will do the same.

Judge Heath, a former state budget director and chairman of the N.C. Industrial Commission, is running for what would be his first job as an appellate judge. Of the two, Arrowood is the most qualified for the position.

While this election cycle for seats on N.C.'s statewide appellate courts is comparatively calm with only one N.C. Supreme Court seat on the ballot, there are three Guest N.C.

parties, have also opposed this amendment.

So, why would the ruling majority in the Assembly ask us to vote for permanent constitutional changes, without giving voters any idea about their actual effects on us?

Given the recent history of this majority, it seems clear that it wants to shift, permanently, the tax burden for services necessary for the well-being of all of us from those most able to pay their fair share to those less able to afford the extra burden. If that is the goal, how is the best way to achieve it? Lead off with the right to hunt and fish.

Pretty clever and pretty deceptive. Then, ask our permission to restrict the voting rights (voter photo ID and gridlocked elections commission) of those who will be paying more.

help to make living within driving distance of sand and surf less hazardous, Washburn says, is improvement in building codes. “Building codes in many coastal communities have been vastly enhanced to make it possible for homes to withstand the wind, rain and flooding that accompanies most hurricanes.”

While coastal living and coping with hurricanes isn’t for everyone, Washburn notes, many individuals believe communities that border our oceans, rivers and lakes are where their roots are, and where they want to spend their lives, even if it means occasionally having to make repairs or rebuild.

While there is no way to guarantee safety from an impending hurricane, other than evacuation, there are steps homeowners can take to minimize harm to them-

selves and their property.

Jimmy Flythe, director, west region, government and community relations for Duke Energy Carolinas, points out that Duke Energy relies on its own team of meteorologists to track hurricanes and determine where they will hit. “This enables us to stage power restoration crews in the optimal locations so they can restore power as soon as it is safe to do so.”

Flythe notes that prior to Hurricane Florence making landfall on the North Carolina coast,

*Seat 3 - This race matches three more candidates with no prior appellate judging experience. Chuck Kitchen, former County Attorney for Alamance and Durham counties, has the most experience with N.C. open government law (public records and open meetings law), though not all of it positive for the public and press.

Michael Monaco, another candidate, was in private practice in a small firm near Raleigh for 15 years. But the last candidate, Allegra Katherine Collins, who has spent her 12-year career in Raleigh as an appellate lawyer in private practice while teaching appellate practice at Campbell Law School, is the most qualified of the three to be a judge on the Court of Appeals.

I trust this summary helps The Chronicle readers gauge these important 2018 statewide judicial races.

John Bussian is a Raleigh-based media lawyer who serves as First Amendment and Legislative Counsel to the N.C. Press Association.

Duke Energy had some 20,000 workers, the majority from out of state, ready go to work in the wake of the storm.

Among Duke Energy’s recommendations for those in the path of a hurricane are: *Have an emergency supply kit that includes medicines. *Maintain a supply of water and non-perishable food. *Have a portable radio or TV. *Make sure cell phones, computers and other electronic devices

are fully charged. *Have a plan to move family members – especially those with special needs – to safety. *Make arrangements for pets. *Review insurance policies and keep extra copies in your emergency supply kit. *Stay away from downed power lines. *Never bring generators indoors.

Bright idea for Bosa to leave

Nick Bosa, brother of NFL superstar Joey Bosa, has decided to leave Ohio State to focus on preparation for the 2019 NFL Draft.

Bosa suffered a core muscle injury on Sept. 15 that required surgery and has been on the sidelines ever since. The Buckeyes announced last week Bosa would be withdrawing from the university.

Head coach Urban Meyer thanked Bosa for his contributions to the program and wished him well on his future.

“I was hopeful that Nick would be able to return to play again for us,” Meyer said. “I know this was an extremely difficult and emotional decision for Nick and his family, and I wish him well as he moves on to get himself 100 percent healthy and ready for his next chapter. I want to thank Nick for the remarkable efforts he gave for this program. He is a firstclass young man who we have been honored to coach.”

Bosa was arguably the best defensive player on the Buckeyes and is projected to be one of the top picks in next year's draft.

Bosa has received some criticism for his decision and more is sure to come if the Buckeyes don't bring home the national championship.

Buckeye players and fans don't really have the right to be upset with his choice. Through three games, he totaled 4 sacks, 6 tackles for loss, and a defensive touchdown.

His absence from the lineup will definitely be felt by Ohio State, but what other choice does he really have in the matter.

I personally don't blame Bosa for his decision. Throughout his college career, he has played the game for free, making his school millions of dollars. Essentially, his time at Ohio State was an internship in preparation for the NFL. I do feel bad for his Ohio State teammates because they have a legitimate shot at winning the national championship, but I know they understand the situation Bosa is in. It's not like he is going to return to the field anytime soon. If he were to come back, it would not be until December. That's assuming the Buckeyes will make it to the national semifinal game.

Bosa is the first high profile player to withdraw from school to prepare for the upcoming draft.

Other players such as Leonard Fournette and Christian McCaffrey have sat out their teams’ bowl games, fearing injury.

Fournette and McCaffrey's teams were not in championship contention, so that adds another level to the already complicated story.

Bosa's father, John, weighed in on the situation as well. He said they discussed the matter as a family and felt this was the best course of action for Nick.

“As a family, this is a horrible and heartbreak-

Reagan still chasing perfection

OCTOBER 25, 2018

26-24

BY TIMOTHY RAMSEY THE CHRONICLE

The Reagan JV football team has been dominating their opponents for the majority of the season.

Faced with an equally matched opponent, the Raiders squeaked out a narrow 26-24 victory against East Forsyth last Thursday, Oct. 18, to stay undefeated on the year.

This game had the makings of a trap game written all over it. The

Raiders had lost their starting quarterback to injury in the prior game and moved running back Bryson Canty behind center. With a week to prepare for the Eagles, the Raider coaching staff simplified the game plan for him.

The game plan for the game was run, run, run some more and surprise the defense with the occasional pass, said Chris McCoy, JV head coach.

“It is a work in progress and Bryson has

really picked it up,” said McCoy. “I have thrown a lot at him and we have had our ups and downs or bumped heads sometimes, but it is for the betterment of the team. Right now we are doing very well with

his leadership.”

Reagan got off to a great start using the read option to move the ball down the field. Canty and running back Jon Gullette kept the Eagles defense off balance the entire drive.

The Raiders stopped themselves by fumbling the ball, which was scooped up

by Isaiah Crowell and returned 65 yards for a touchdown. East led 8-0 following the conversion.

Eagles quarterback soaring under the radar

BY TIMOTHY RAMSEY THE CHRONICLE

The East Forsyth Eagles have been having a phenomenal season thus far, quietly enough. Quarterback Ty Lyles has been one of the biggest reasons for the Eagles fast start at 8-0.

As a sophomore, Lyles is one of the

youngest starters on the Eagles varsity squad. According to coaches, Lyles’ performance thus far this season is not a surprise, based on the hard work he has put in over the last year.

“He did pretty good as the JV quarterback and I think the biggest thing that

Canty and crew quickly went back to work on the ground, quickly answering the Eagles score with one of their own. On their next possession, it was more of the same from the Raiders until the scoring play inside the 10-yard line.

With the entire stadium expecting a run, Canty lofted a beautifully thrown fade pass to Montrell Jones for the score. The Raiders took the lead at 12-8 after the failed conversion.

Canty was having his way with the defense early on.

“I wasn't really nervous, I was just glad they picked me to step up to such an important position and I am glad me and the team could both execute,” said Canty.

“The defensive end kept stepping out to keep us inside, so basically it was a pull and run,” he continued.

“The O line was opening up big gaps that made it easier for us to find running room.”

East briefly took the lead back on touchdown run from Traylon Ingram.

Canty quickly answered with a quarterback keeper from 25 yards out, his second rushing touchdown of the day. Reagan held a slim 19-16 lead at the half.

Reagan got on the scoreboard first in the second half. Following a deep pass by Canty to his wideout, Gullette ran it in from

five yards out, giving the Raiders a 10-point lead at 26-16.

The Raider defense held tough in the second half, for the most part.

They caused a turnover on downs as East was driving late in the third quarter.

East was able to close the gap to within two midway through the fourth quarter.

The Eagle defense did their job by forcing the Raiders to punt. With 2:47 seconds left on the clock, the Eagles began their potential gamewinning drive.

Eagle quarterback, Joseph Ritchens and company marched down to the Raider 30-yard line. That was as close as they would get as the Raiders defense held tough to preserve the win.

“I felt like we played well, enough to win the game, but mistakes we made in the first half messes us up at the end of the game,” said East Forsyth head coach Damien Booe.

“That's why I stress that we have to finish every play because it could come back to bite us in the end like it did tonight.”

“We knew number four (Canty) was basically a running back playing quarterback, so we knew he was going to be one-dimensional,” Booe said about the Reagan offense. “Props to our defense because they had some big plays, but we limited them in the second half.”

McCoy said he knew

made the transition so easy is that our offensive coordinator, Ron Horton, was running our JV and he and Ty had already developed a great relationship,” said Todd Willert, varsity head coach.

“It was great that he didn't have to go from one coach to another coach and from one offense to another offense,” he continued. “I think he has some great weapons around him, which has obviously helped him, and having a senior offensive line has helped by making him more comfortable in the pocket.”

Horton said Lyles has made tremendous progress mentally over the last year. He says Lyles puts in a lot of work off the field by watching game film, working on his mechanics, and mastering the playbook.

“Slowly but surely, he is starting to understand how we want to attack teams on offense and the game is starting to slow down for him,” Horton said. “We still have a bit of work to do, but he is processing things better now.

He is young, but the kid is definitely not afraid of the moment.”

well.

Lyles says even though he is young, playing the quarterback position requires him to bring a certain level of energy and leadership to the team. He says one of his main goals is to get his team focused and ready before every game so they can continue this winning streak. He says this team has the chance to bring home a state championship.

“Last year I learned a lot because I did not really know anything, so this year I started watching film, learning from the other varsity players and really diving into the playbook,” said Lyles.

For Lyles, the relationship with Horton is more than just studying film and learning plays. Lyles says Horton gives him valuable life lessons that have nothing to do with football that will make him a better person.

“I saw something in Ty when he first got here everybody sees the athletic ability, but I saw a very humble kid and a very confident kid also,” Horton said. “I played quarterback in high school, so seeing his talent made me feel like he could do a lot with that talent” “I just try to help him with the areas that I was not so proficient with early on when I was in high school. Being mentally prepared can really give you an advantage, so I just think about what I didn't know as a sophomore in high school and try to give him that knowledge.”

Horton said “it was funny” that Willert and Lyles give

right decision to me,” he continued.

This is not going to be a new trend that will sweep through college football, so diehard fans can exhale. On the other hand, do I see this happening again with another high profile player dealing with an injury? Yes. It would take the perfect storm for this to happen again anytime soon, in my opinion. Bosa was a junior, a top prospect prior to the injury, and the recovery time would have eaten away the vast majority of his season

would not have had such a great game without them opening up such big holes for him and Gullette.

him as much credit as they do. He says the real credit should go to Lyles for the hard work he has put in, along with the maturity he has shown.

“The moment is never too big for him and he has taken strides as a leader, which is a credit to him,” Horton went on to say. “I just try to put him in situations to be successful, but he has to execute and make those plays, so credit to him for that.”

Willert says the coaching staff was surprised, in a way, by the play of Lyles on the field. He says, on the other hand, they expected solid play because of the talent he possesses.

“We saw that there was something special in him,” said Willert. “He has done very well and I think Ty has done very well in absorbing our offense and learning what it takes to be a quarterback here at East Forsyth.”

The Eagles coaching staff say Lyles has a very strong arm and is a dual threat quarterback who can run. They say one of his biggest assets is he uses his legs to find open receivers downfield, rather than running the ball himself.

Willert and Horton think if Lyles can grow a couple more inches in height, he can definitely attract Division I offers down the line. Lyles says he would love to attend Louisville University because Lamar Jackson is one of the players he looks up to. He says he would love to study science once he makes it to college.

anyway. And who's to say he would be fully recovered if the Buckeyes made it to the college playoffs, so it was a no-brainer in my opinion.

The only words I have for Bosa is “take care of yourself,” because these schools use these players like cattle.

He has shown enough on the field to prove what type of player he is. Get ready for the next level, young man, and good luck. Maybe if colleges actually paid the players, he would be more inclined to stay.

Elder Richard Wayne Wood Sunday School Lesson

Isaac and Rebekah Continue the Legacy

Lesson Scripture: Genesis 24:12-21, 61-67

By the end of this lesson, we will *Identify the opportunity God gave Rebekah. *Recall opportunities God has given us. *Resolve to say yes when God gives us new opportunities.

Background: The place is Mesopotamia, the City of Nahor (Haran). Sarah has died and Isaac is not yet married. Abraham is wealthy and respected in Canaan, but his concern to perpetuate his people and God’s promise through future generations caused him to send to his homeland “my country and to my family” (verse 4) for a wife for Isaac. However, under no circumstances was Isaac to return to Haran (verses 6-7). It had been 60 years since Abraham left his home country.

Clearly this task for covenant continuance was under God’s oversight.

Lesson: Faith is clearly expressed here by the Father of Faith’s servant. With clear instructions and a covenant between himself and Abraham, the most trusted servant arrives in Abraham’s homeland. He prays at his precise destination, the place where the young women gather to draw water from the well. His prayer is that God will signify His choice of a bride for Isaac in a very specific way (verses 12-14). Before the servant had finished praying, Rebekah (niece to Abraham and cousin to Isaac) “came out ... with her pitcher upon her shoulder’ (verse 15). The servant’s specifics in his prayer called for a woman of hospitality that extended beyond what was expected. Rebekah not only showed a servant’s attitude, she was also beautiful and pure (verse 16). Rebekah fulfilled all the requirements that had been outlined in the servant’s prayer. While she watered the camels (10 of them), a pretty big task, the servant watched with patience to ensure that she was indeed the answer to both his and Abraham’s request from God (verses 17-21).

Successfully now having communicated Abraham’s proposal, with the proper gifts to both Rebekah and her family, they prepare to leave for Canaan. As God, being God, will do, He has Rebekah and Isaac journey to one another. It turns out that Rebekah is more than just a part of the continuance of the covenant; she is also divinely, a special comfort and source of strength for Isaac, who still grieves the death of his mother. Isaac’s love for Rebekah is compared to that of Jacob’s for Rachel. (The MacArthur Study Bible, UMI and the Oxford Bible Commentary.)

For Your Consideration: How can we be sure we are making choices that are pleasing to God for our lives? Have you been the recipient of a divine opportunity? Would you recognize it if you were?

Life’s Application: The mixing of cultures, races and even philosophies is not inherently bad, but the story of Rebekah and Isaac informs us of the importance of retaining some cultural and spiritual standards and boundaries. Our families and deepest relationships must be built with people who serve the same covenant-keeping God as we do. (UMI, Precepts for Living)

Humanitarian response team heads to eastern N.C.

BY TIMOTHY RAMSEY THE CHRONICLE

The coalition of volunteers, comprised from several organizations from around the city, departed from the Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Coliseum on Sunday, Oct. 21. The group will provide relief for Hurricane Florence victims.

Rev. Dr. Lamonte Williams, president of the Minister's Conference of Winston-Salem and Vicinity

(MCWSV) and event coordinator, laid out the agenda of the various cities that the coalition intends to visit and provide humanitarian relief.

“Local pastors and Ministerial Alliances on the ground in Craven, Onslow, Jones and New Hanover counties have called and it's our duty to answer, to rebuild, clean up and assist our fellow Americans in regaining a sense of normalcy,” he said.

The coalition was initially look-

ing for 100 volunteers to join the effort. According to Williams, about 40 individuals from the area took the trip and an additional 25 will meet the group there this weekend because of work obligations.

The group will work from Oct. 21 through Oct. 27 to assist with recovery efforts suffered during Hurricane Florence. Williams says the plan is to survey the area first to try and get an idea of the most needy areas.

On Sunday, Oct. 21, hundreds of participants walked two miles to fight hunger in the WinstonSalem/Forsyth County CROP Hunger Walk.

Begun in 1947 when farmers came together to share their crops with people in Europe who were recovering from the devastation of World War II, now CROP Walks are held nationwide to raise money to fight hunger and provide disaster aid, both in the United States and around the world.

The walk illustrates the solidarity of participants with people in Third-World countries who often have to walk many miles each day to get water or food.

Locally, money raised through CROP Walk donations is split with 25 percent staying in Forsyth County to support the food pantries of

“The first thing we will do is take a tour so that the volunteers can get an idea of the devastation,” said Williams. “We will then prepare to go out to the various sights and hit the ground running.”

Each day, the plan is to split the group up so they can cover a larger area. Williams stated that there were a large

number of calls received into the helpline, so they will try to assist as many people as possible.

Williams says the first priority are the churches. He feels if they can get the local church up and running, then it will positively impact the community. He says their effort has three main components: provide some level of disaster relief, give the victims some hope, and to bond together.

Last year, Williams led a volunteer trip to Houston to

assist with victims of Hurricane Harvey. He says he is curious to see if the devastation is similar to what he witnessed in Houston. “it will be interesting to see how it compares to Houston, for example,” he said. “it seems as though there were more churches affected here than there were in Houston. Several pastors have said they have not been able to get back into their churches yet, so it is a pretty serious situation.”

CWS partners with organizations in areas they serve to provide wells for clean water, tools and seeds for gardens, and clean-up kits and blankets to aid victims of disasters. They provided over 7,000 hygiene kits, school kits, blankets and clean-up buckets for the victims of the recent hurricanes that affected Eastern North Carolina.

The first Winston-Salem/Forsyth County CROP Walk was held in 1979 and since that time has raised nearly $2 million. The walk is supported primarily by area congregations. This year over 55 congregations participated in the Walk, with over 600 people walking the Long Branch Trail beginning at Bailey Park.

New group brightens the day for the homeless

BY JUDIE HOLCOMB-PACK FOR THE CHRONICLE

It may have been a rainy, gloomy morning on Saturday, Oct. 20, but it was bright and cheerful inside a room at the Bethesda Center for the Homeless.

Members of Worthy Travelers Masonic Lodge #63, a newly established Masonic lodge in Winston-Salem, packed 100 lunch bags with sandwiches, chips, apples and water to serve the homeless as part of their outreach commitment to the community.

Begun in 2017 and led by District Master Jose Tirado, the group is currently meeting at the Reynolda Branch library until they find a permanent location.

The Worthy Travelers Masonic Lodge is part of the International Masons and is committed to giving back to

the community with various outreach projects, including a Thanksgiving dinner for the homeless. Michael Person, Worshipful Master, said, “We paid for the lunch items out of our own pockets, but we are accepting donations to cover the cost of the Thanksgiving dinner.” They are also adopting a family for Christmas.

John Tyner, another member, helped to organize the lunch bag project and said that outreach is an important part of the lodge’s mission. “This is one way to show that we care,” said Tyner.

Hanesbrands completes annual fundraising campaign SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE

HanesBrands and its employees raised more than $345,000 in its annual headquarters campaign to support the Arts Council of Winston-Salem and Forsyth County.

HanesBrands and its headquarters employees, the largest corporate giver to the Arts Council, have donated more than $6 million to the organization to support the arts since initiating their support nearly 20 years ago.

The Arts Council uses the donations to fund more than 30 organizations that create more than 800,000 arts experiences in Forsyth County.

“Nonprofit fundraising is always challenging, but it is critical to our community’s quality of life and vibrancy,” said

Cheryl Lindsay, HanesBrands’ director, global diversity and inclusion, and the Arts Council’s 2018 county campaign cochair. “Hanes is committed to being a strong ongoing supporter of the arts and other community improvement agencies.

Our company and its dedicated employees have long recognized the positive impact the arts have on our community, and we’d like to keep the momentum going.”

The annual campaign features many opportunities for Hanes employees to interact with and collaborate with artists and musicians from the community.

“During the campaign, we celebrate with fun activities,” Lindsay said. “But the ultimate goal is to raise as much financial support for the Arts Council as possible.”

Novant Health, in conjunction with the Psi Phi Chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity Inc., were hosts of a community outreach event at Hanes Mall that featured interactive exhibits and giant size replicas of the heart and brain.

While inside the inflatable brain, participants were able to feel a blood clot, explore stroke symptoms, examine a brain tumor, learn more about Alzheimer’s disease and epileptic seizures.

Over 500 people were able to learn and explore

different parts of the brain and heart. Medical professionals also offered free health screenings and provided information about resources in our community for people caring for loved ones who have dementia and memory issues.

The event, called “Unraveling the Mysteries of the Heart and Brain,” focused on stroke awareness, prevention, treatment and rehabilitation.

Dr. Cory Lamar, a neurologist with Novant Health and member of Omega Psi Phi, stated, “This event is vital to the

community because North Carolina is in the stroke belt, meaning the risk of stroke is 30 percent higher here than in other areas of the country. There are steps that can be taken to reduce the risk of stroke and other brain diseases.”

Brother Linwood Jerald is the Omega Psi Phi Chapter Basileus and Brothers Judge Kornegay and Cory Lamar are Social Action Committee cochairmen.

Novant Health, WSSU launch nation’s first HBCU-based physical therapy residency program SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE

Novant Health and Winston-Salem State University (WSSU) and are partnering to create the first physical therapy residency program based at a historically Black college and university (HBCU).

The 12-month program, which will focus on neurologic care, launched recently with the welcome of its first resident.

“This unique physical therapy neurologic residency program combines the stellar academic resources of WinstonSalem State University with the clinical expertise of Novant Health,” said Dr. Peggy Valentine, dean of the School of Health Sciences (SOHS) at WSSU. “We are thrilled to offer this new program, which will help raise the level of patient care in the Piedmont Triad and also continue WSSU’s focus of addressing health equity to improve the care in the communities around the university.”

Neurologic physical therapists specialize in treating patients who have movement problems due to disease or injury of the nervous system. Currently, there are only four neurologic PT residency programs in North Carolina; there are less than 50 in the nation. The program has received approval from the American Board of Physical Therapy Residency and Fellowship Education.

“We are excited to further enrich our partnership with WSSU by offering a neuro residency program,” said Cress Goodnight, MSPT, MBA, OP Rehab Regional Manager. “Our program will equip residents to provide special-

ized care for neurologically involved patients in a rehabilitative setting.

Currently, Novant Health has five NCS therapists working in the Triad and we’re thrilled to partner with WSSU to support the growth of therapeutic care and clinical expertise in this community.”

Novant Health offers comprehensive rehabilitative services in outpatient, acute care and inpatient settings. In early October, Novant Health Rehabilitation Hospital, an affiliate of Encompass Health, will open, expanding Novant Health inpatient services to include a 68-bed freestanding facility providing rehabilitation services for patients who have experienced debilitating illnesses and injuries such as stroke, spinal cord injuries, brain injuries, hip fractures and amputations.

First resident named Joseph Barron – a recent graduate of the Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) program at Methodist University who earned his bachelor’s degree from North Carolina Central University – has been chosen as the first resident.

His tuition and a portion of his salary will be funded through the Novant Foundation.

“This experience has been quite amazing so far,” he said. “The support and mentorship from both Novant Health and WSSU are placing me in the optimal direction for enhancing my clinical expertise in neurological physical therapy. It's a true blessing, and I cannot wait to make a difference in the Winston-Salem community.”

Multi-talented Teju Cole to speak at WFU

SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE

Writer and photographer Teju Cole, photography critic of the New York Times Magazine, will speak at Wake Forest University Tuesday, Oct. 30 at 6 p.m. at Porter Byrum Welcome Center as part of the University’s “Voices of Our Time” series.

The event is free and open to the public.

“Teju Cole asks us to observe the world – critically, closely, but generously – while acknowledging the most important thing in our field of vision may be where we least expected to look,” said

Wake Forest President Nathan Hatch. “We look forward to welcoming him to campus.”

Teju Cole is an essayist, critic, photographer and the Gore Vidal Professor of the Practice of Creative Writing at Harvard. He has contributed to the New York Times, the New Yorker, Granta, Brick and many other magazines. His column at the New York Times Magazine, “On Photography,” was a finalist for a 2016 National Magazine Award. He is the author of four books of essays and fiction, including the acclaimed novel “Open City.”

gram, Barron will work in neurologic care alongside mentors at Novant facilities across Winston-Salem.

He also will take courses and provide guest lectures to students in the university’s Department of Physical Therapy.

In a unique aspect of the residency, Barron will be required to identify a health equity solution to improve the care of patients who visit the program’s free community clinics, aligning with WSSU’s strategic plan.

After completing the residency, Barron will be eligible to sit for the Neurologic Certified Specialist (NCS) exam.

Preparation for the program began more than a year ago.

“In order to prepare the residency, we had to home-grow our own team of neurologic mentors,” said Dr. Sara Migliarese, associate professor in WSSU's Department of Physical Therapy and director of the neuro-residency program.

Earlier this year, seven PT professionals – five current Novant employees and two WSSU alumni – were tutored to prepare to sit for the Neurologic Certified Specialist (NCS) exam. All seven passed on the first attempt, well above the 70 percent average pass rate for the exam, Migliarese said.

Physical therapy is a signature program of WSSU's School of Health Sciences, an ethnically diverse school that embraces health equity in education, research and service.
