Family plans to pursue civil case

Author, police chief discuss policing, accountability

An investigation into the fatal police shooting of Edward Van McCrae found the officer acted lawfully in self-defense, but an attorney for his family said they disagree and plan to seek civil remedies.

Forsyth County District Attorney Jim O’Neill announced the conclusion to the investigation at the Hall of Justice on Monday afternoon during a press conference in which the body cam footage was shown to

It’s no secret that the relationship between AfricanAmericans and law enforcement agencies across the country is one of distrust, paranoia and bias.

While promoting his new book, “The Black and Blue: A Cop Reveals the Crimes, Racism, and Injustice in America’s Law Enforcement,” security expert and CNN analyst Matthew Horace sat down with WinstonSalem Police Department (WSPD) Chief Catrina Thompson to discuss the relationship between law enforcement agencies and people of color, the systems in place that regulate the American prison system, and the importance of holding officers and elected officials accountable for their actions.

For nearly an hour, Horace and Thompson discussed the book, implicit bias within law enforcement agencies, community policing, mental health and several other topics before taking questions from the audience.

Last week, Herbalife Nutrition Foundation’s “Casa Herbalife” program unveiled a 12-foot mural at the Gateway YWCA’s Best Choice Center.

The colorful graffiti mural, which depicts the image of a young girl and boy of color beside the wording “Best Choice” in bright blue letters by artist Hugo Garcia, is a gift to the YWCA from the Herbalife Nutrition Foundation (HNF).

According to Garcia, the graffiti mural took almost an entire week to complete. Garcia, who is the senior designer for Herbalife, said he worked on the mural eight hours a day for four days straight to get everything done. He said

CHRonIClE STAFF REPoRT

The City of Winston-Salem held its fourth annual Winston-Salem Forsyth County 9/11 Public Safety Challenge at the Winston-Salem Fairgrounds & Annex on Saturday, Sept. 8.

The Public Safety Challenge combines the city's 9/11 commemoration with a competition for high school Junior RoTC units. More than 200 JRoTC cadets from 10 high schools competed in several areas.

Congratulations to the Ronald Reagan High School JRoTC program on winning the competition for the second consecutive year, city government said on its

Facebook page. As the winning unit, the unit will take home the Public Safety Challenge Cup, a perpetual trophy that is passed to the winner from one year to the next.

The program opened at 9:11 a.m. with the city’s annual 9/11 commemoration. Afterward, JRoTC cadets from high schools in Winston-Salem and Forsyth County competed in marksmanship, close-order drill and a "raider" (obstacle) course that combines elements of the police physical abilities test and the fire agility test.

Forsyth County Commission Chairman Dave Plyler and Mayor Pro Temp Vivian Burke thank the school system’s JRoTC staff, who display a strong commitment to the students, and wish all the programs a successful 2018-

2019 school year, city government said on Facebook.

In four years, the partnership between the Forsyth County Sheriff’s office, Winston-Salem Police Department, Winston-Salem Fire Department and Emergency Medical Services have contributed $20,000 to the school system’s JRoTC program by each year providing a $5,000 sponsorship to the Military Science program of the city-county schools, which oversees the high school JRoTC units.

The event serves as an opportunity for the partner agency’s Explorer programs to recruit cadets to start a path of public service in the public safety field.

Forsyth and Guilford were among the top five counties its clients come from and TRoSA would like to put its new facility in one of those counties “Durham is helping a lot of people from throughout the state, but we don’t think it’s feasible to help more people out of the Durham location, so this next step of a satellite location is what we think is the right way to help more people,” he said.

Artin said TRoSA is unique in several ways. It offers comprehensive treatment, work-based vocational training and education in a program that lasts two years.

“There are a lot of studies that show there’s a correlation between length of stay in residential treatment and successful outcomes for people who need residential treatment as their approach for their addiction,” he said.

TRoSA offers its services at no cost to clients, 88 percent of whom are uninsured and don’t qualify for Medicaid.

The nonprofit mostly funds itself in Durham through a variety of social enterprises, including thrift stores, a lawn care business, a moving service and seasonal Christmas tree lots that sold 11,000 trees last year. Artin

said it probably won’t have the moving company at first in the Triad, but expects TRoSA to open up the other enterprises locally.

TRoSA operates a facility with 275 beds and another with 192 beds. Artin said the large size helps create a sense of community. It also means there’s enough residents to do things like cook meals for those staying there, maintain the property and work in the social enterprises.

Artin expects the Triad facility to start with up to 125 beds and will eventually hold up to 225 beds. ninety percent of those who make it through the twoyear program maintain sobriety, employment, stable housing and have no additional arrests a year after they graduate. Two-thirds of the 70-member staff at TRoSA are graduates from its program.

The new zoning use that’s being considered is called “Group Care Facility C” and would be in General Business districts with Special Use District Rezoning that are approved by either the City Council or County Commissioners. TRoSA has yet to narrow down particular sites to look at for the new facility.

long-term rehab program looking to expand to Triad

By ToDD lUCK THE CHRonIClE

TRoSA– a comprehensive, multi-year residential rehab program for substance abusers located in Durham – is looking to open a location in the Triad.

The City of Winston-Salem and Forsyth County are both considering amending their zoning ordinances to allow for a group care facility of up to 250 residents so TRoSA can open a local facility. Currently, zoning in the county only allows a group care facility of up to 40 residents. The matter was initially briefed before county commissioners last week. The City’s General Government Committee heard from TRoSA on Tuesday, Sept. 11.

Commissioner Gloria Whisenhunt said she welcomes TRoSA and felt it is needed locally.

“I’ve met with this group several times and I think they have an outstanding program,” she said.

“I think it’s a missing link of help that we have here in Forsyth County.”

TRoSA Coo Keith Artin said the rehab program serves people from around the state at its Durham facility.

to show a true love and passion for cooking. Prior to passing away in the early ’90s, Bloom made sure to pass on the family recipes to Shanta, who took care of her after she fell ill. Faison said although she was only in the fourth grade at the time, that’s when she fell in love with cooking.

“When she had the strength, she would come in the kitchen with a walker and show me how to cook. She would tell me to put this in that so basically she inspired me to start cooking because I wanted her food to be perfect because she couldn’t do it for herself,” Faison said.

Just as it happened with her grandmother, as time passed Faison’s love for cooking continued to grow, so much that

she decided to pursue it full time. Faison started her career as the executive chief for Sundance Hotel and in 2006 she started her own catering company, KMS Catering.

Although she spent time exploring other ventures, Faison said her plan has always been to sell and market her own food in stores. She said, “This is something that I’ve always wanted to do. I wanted to market the recipes but I just didn’t know how.

“I had my own ideas on how to get reviews and sell the collard greens but it was a lot more than that,” laughed Faison.

“When I met someone who had their own line in stores, that’s when I started to learn how to get things moving.”

“When my grandmother was sick, we became like partners, and the day that we pre-launched, I could feel her spirit with me the whole day. She’s like my guardian angel,” continued Faison. “I felt like she was guiding things that whole day.”

“The response has been great. At the Minority Business Expo, we sold over 100 jars. I really haven’t had an opportunity to let it all soak in, but it feels great.”

While discussing the future of Rosey Bloom’s, Faison said the collard greens are just the beginning. She mentioned a white chocolate bread pudding, blackeyed peas, a vegan version of the greens and TV dinners.

“Rosey Bloom’s is the line; it’s not just collard greens.”

BY TODD LUCK THE CHRONICLE

It took two votes for Forsyth County commissioners to determine who would build the new Hall of Justice, and they decided 6-1 to go with a different pick than what their committee of stakeholders recommended.

The vote took place during the commissioner’s meeting last Thursday, Sept. 6. The replacement of the aging courthouse has a $120 million budget and drew proposals from three teams of construction companies vying to be the project’s construction managers at risk.

The companies had given extensive presentations on their qualifications to an appointed committee of stakeholders, which included those who work at the courthouse. The committee recommended the team of Whiting-Turner Contracting and Holt Brothers Construction.

However, the ultimate decision was up to commissioners, who could pick the other teams that applied, which were Frank L. Blum Construction Co. teamed with Barnhill Contracting Co. and Samet Corp. teamed with Balfour Beatty Construction. Commissioners heard from each of the three teams during drop-in sessions last month.

Subcontractors that worked with Samet also spoke during the public comment sessions at commissioner meetings in recent weeks.

“As a small business owner, local, we really appreciate Samet and all the business opportunities they offer us,” said Melissa Dolesh with ABS (American Building Services), which Samet uses for cleaning.

Attorney Richard Bennett told commissioners his committee spent many hours on their recommendation, which they approved 11-1, and hoped the commissioners would accept it. He felt Samet should have accepted their decision.

“That company ignored the selection process and put a full-court press on you after the fact to get the job,” said Bennett.

Commissioner Everett Witherspoon said he was “extremely impressed” by Samet. He said he’d heard many complaints from subcontractors working for other construction companies, but never any about Samet. He said he’d gotten calls from contractors praising Samet.

“For the first time in eight years since I’ve been on this board, I’ve never seen so many subcontractors calling me up,” he said.

Witherspoon said that while Whitening-Turner did partner with Holt Brothers, a Raleigh-based minorityowned company founded by former football stars Terrence and Torry Holt, he felt the Holts’ gridiron success made them wealthy and gave them an advantage.

He felt Samet gave chances to less prominent minority subcontractors.

“NFL players are going to be all right,” he said.

Commissioner Vice Chairman Don Martin wanted to go with the committee recommendation.

“If we were going to make this decision to start with, why did we create the committee?” he said.

Commissioners elected to vote using paper ballots to select one of the three teams. It ended up being a 3-3 tie between Whiting-Turner and Samet, with one vote for Blum. Witherspoon was joined by Fleming El-Amin and Richard Linville, who were also impressed with what they’d seen and heard on Samet. Martin, Dave Plyler and Ted Kaplan voted for Whiting-Turner. Gloria Whisenhunt voted for Blum since they’re a locally owned company whose extensive local portfolio of work includes the county’s Central Library renovations, which came in under budget.

Immediately after the first vote was counted, commissioners chose between the two teams that tied, with Samet winning the second vote 6-1 with Martin as the sole vote for Whiting-Turner.

The team of Samet and Balfour will now evaluate the site, estimate construction costs, seek preliminary subcontractor bids and then submit a Guaranteed Maximum Price. If the county accepts that price, then those companies will complete the construction on the project and will be responsible for any cost overruns.

The new courthouse is planned as two five-story buildings joined by a pedestrian bridge. One building will be for court facilities that’ll be built in a vacant lot beside the Government Center on Chestnut Street and the other will be an office building across the street. A parking deck may be built on the other side of the neighboring Wells Fargo deck, or the county may lease spaces in downtown lots and decks for courthouse parking.

The Business of the Month is Kingz Downtown Market at 418 N. Liberty St. in downtown WinstonSalem.

I went to Kingz Downtown Market in Winston-Salem to interview the owner, Keith King. As I walked up to the door, I immediately learned something about King: he’s a man of faith.

Above the entrance are the words, “Working-NFaith.”

When I opened the door and I saw a customer and her beautiful little girl shopping, I introduced myself and then asked what she likes most about shopping at The Market. “It’s a one-stop shop. I can pay my bills, buy grocery, pretty much everything I need, and the location is very convenient if I have to ride the bus.”

As the mother and daughter continued shopping, Lavese Collins, one of the Downtown Market employees, walked toward them with a warm smile.

She kneeled down and gently extended her hand to the little girl. “Hi pretty. Are

you having a good day?” she asked. The little girl replies with a soft and sweet little voice. “Yes, I am” and then she smiles.

Collins softly responds, “Let me know if you need anything sweetie, OK.” Every customer that walked into The Market felt the same love I was feeling. It was nice to see a diverse group of people greeting each other and feeling at peace in a place of business.

I saw another employee at the register working her magic, entertaining all six customers that were standing in line. She didn’t miss a beat. I was fortunate to catch up with her to ask how long she’s worked for King. “Awhile and I love it.

I love the people that shop here and I love how Mr. King treats us and his customers. He’ll help anyone in need. He’s truly a man of God.” When I finished talking with the customers and employees, I walked around to check out the product in The Market. The first customer I met was on point when she said they have everything. They have all of your basic needs, and if you don’t want to cook, try some of Cassandra

Springs chicken Wings.

“Cassandra’s chicken is the best. People say that every day.” She gave me a sample, and it was delicious! I got an order to go.

The Market provides a variety of goods and services to the downtown area and the residents of Winston-Salem.

The Market began with grocery items, but has expanded to a number of other services, including Western Union services, North Carolina Lottery, bill payments (including Duke Energy, Spectrum cable, Piedmont Natural Gas, etc.) and Byte Federal Bitcoin. The Market also carries fresh baked cakes, pies, cookies and other desserts. I was having so much fun with the employees and customers, I nearly forgot I was there to interview the owner, Keith King.

Finally I asked someone to let him know I was there, and in no more than five minutes, The King arrived. I introduced myself, told how I was inspired after learning about his humble beginnings, and what an honor it is to meet him. “I truly appreciate that, Busta. It means a lot.”

King was employed in

the fast food industry for 16 years. He began as a cook and eventually progressed to district manager, with responsibility for 12 restaurants. “I left the fast food industry to open my own wing business in Clemmons, North Carolina. I had a strong desire to own a restaurant in downtown Winston-Salem, so I sold the restaurant and began my search for a location. While researching restaurant locations, I noticed the absence of a grocery store in the downtown area. After much prayer and faith in God, I decided to open a grocery store on Liberty Street,” King said.

Kingz Downtown Market opened on Dec. 18, 2007. There were songs of praise, worship, thanksgiving and most of all prayer at the opening of “The Market.” Liberty Street was closed for the opening of The Market. “Mayor Joines, several local politicians and the media were on site to celebrate,” King said. The Market has been very successful, King said.

He credits the love and respect they have for their customers. “I tell my employees all the time, you never know what someone is going through when they

walk into that door, and you might be the lone person to turn that person’s day around.”

King said he believes in going forward and never backward. “When people come to me and ask for advice, I take that time to talk to them. I believe in paying it forward,” King said.

“We’re half way between a grocery store and a convenience store.

We offer all the staples.

You can pay your bills, buy a lottery ticket, buy food and then go home and relax because everything is taken care of,” King said. He begin to laugh as he said, “It’s easy to relax when you have food and your bills are paid.”

King said a customer shared that shopping at his store saves her two hours a day. “She said, ‘About the time I ride the bus to the grocery store, shop, and be back on the bus at a certain area, if I miss that bus, that’s another hour. But I can come here, shop and get back on the bus and go home.’”

King said his advice to future business owners is “Be there yourself, take responsibility for your setup. Once you get big

enough, then you can step back. I told God if you make me successful, I said the first five years I’ll be here every day. I kept that promise to God, and I know that’s why I’m successful.”

I asked King – who ran for the Northeast Ward council seat in 2016 and lost to incumbent Vivian Burke – if he was going to run for Derwin Montgomery’s seat. The East Ward council member has been appointed to a General Assembly seat. Go to The Chronicle’s YouTube channel @Winstonsalem Chronicle to see his response and more of our interview.

the press. The tape itself has not been released to the public except for the footage the media recorded of it playing on a projector screen during the conference.

Following current state law, the city plans to ask a court to release the tape to the public.

Winston-Salem Police Officer D.E. McGuire fatally shot McCrae, 60, during a struggle at a traffic stop in March. O’Neill said that the body cam footage, crime scene photos, autopsy report, witness statements and the parallel investigations of the Winston-Salem Police Department and State Bureau of Investigation led to the conclusion that McGuire acted in selfdefense.

“All the evidence in this case indicates that Officer McGuire acted appropriately and lawfully,” said O’Neill.

The family’s attorney, John Vermitsky, said they appreciated the professionalism of the WinstonSalem Police Department

(WSPD) and the District Attorney’s (D.A.) Office during the investigation, but were disappointed that probable cause to file charges against Officer McGuire was not found.

He said the family was glad there was no violence in the streets because of the incidence and hoped that would continue. He said their concerns will be addressed in the civil system.

“I will let the members of the community know we have conducted our own investigation and we’ve talked to witnesses and we’ve looked at the facts and we’ve come to a different conclusion, but I would like to recall and remind everyone that there is a difference between the criminal and civil justice system and this matter should be dealt with in the civil justice system and should not be dealt with on the streets of Winston-Salem,” said Vermitsky.

The tape showed the events of the night of March 30, when McGuire pulled over a Toyota Camry he was riding behind on New Walkertown Road after a routine license check found it had expired tags and the car’s owner

T H E C H R ON I C LE

Taylor had an expired license.

The officer approached the vehicle on the passenger’s side with his flashlight out. He believed he saw McCrae transfer an object from his right hand to his left and believed he was concealing illegal drugs. McGuire questioned McCrae about it and McCrae turned his back to the officer. McGuire then instructed McCrae to get out of the vehicle and to stop reaching toward concealed areas of the car.

McGuire opened the door and pulled McCrae out, ordering him to get on the ground. McCrae struggled and resisted the officer. McGuire repeated for him to stop struggling and lost balance as both men fell to the ground. The

People gathered to hear the discussion on “The Black and Blue” book.

Policing from page A1

In the book co-written by Ron Harris, a former reporter and editor for the Los Angeles Times and St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Horace uses his own encounters with police and expertise of the U.S. prison system to explore the root causes of implicit bias and ways to build a better relationship between the Black and Blue while exploring some of the most infamous cases where the loss of life occurred by the bullet, hands or choke hold from law enforcement.

An officer for 28 years, Horace said he decided to write the book shortly after he was called in by news networks to provide commentary for cases like the Michael Brown shooting in Ferguson, Missouri, the Laquan McDonald shooting in Chicago and several others.

“When I was being called to provide commentary by CNN and all these other networks, it began like a monthly thing and then at some point it started to be weekly. It was Walter Scott, it was Philando Castile, and it just kept

community, and they offered to help HAWS find another solution for the building, though no specific plans were given during the meeting.

The 11-story building, built in 1970, needs than more than $7 million in repairs that HAWS can’t afford with its dwindling funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

HAWS Executive Director Larry Woods said constant, expensive repairs and upkeep of the aging facility is drawing on funds HAWS needs to maintain its other properties. He said rather than put other properties at risk, HAWS’ board voted to put the property up for

now gone, but we have to wrestle with the humanity of the tenants there,” he said.

He said money from the sale will go to build more modern affordable housing at sites HAWS has yet to determine. The best use of the Crystal Towers site, which he hopes will include affordable housing, would be considered in the purchase offers HAWS receives.

City Council Member James Taylor, who is also The Chronicle’s publisher, said that even though it may not be intentional, the result of the sale would be gentrification. He said it would be a historic mistake to sell the building, comparing it to the construction of U.S. 52, which had devastating effects on black neighborhoods and divided

Vermitsky O’Neill showed a still of the gun on the ground from the video. He also showed the gun in the sewer grate – which he said was below McCrae – where investigators recovered it from. A convicted felon with a long list of priors, it was illegal for McCrae to have a gun.

Attorney David Freeman spoke on behalf of McGuire during the press conference.

“He appreciates the exoneration today but, make no mistake, he takes no joy in the actions of March of this past year,” he said. “He did what he had to do.”

Also during the conference, WSPD Chief Catrina Thompson said she was pleased with the outcome.

She called it a “tragic chal-

lenge” for the city.

“We thank our citizens for their patience that’s been exercised for allowing the investigation process to occur,” she said.

Mayor Allen Joines and Bishop Todd Fulton with the Ministers’ Conference of Winston-Salem and Vicinity both praised the transparency of the process.

City Council Member and Public Safety Chair James Taylor said he was not at the press conference to “declare guilt or innocence” for Mr. McCrae or McGuire and would need to see the tape again, since the conference was his first time viewing it. He felt the investigation was transparent and that the process of government was followed.

“Hopefully we can continue to work through this and move forward as a city,” said Taylor, who is also The Chronicle’s publisher.

Members of the McCrae family were in attendance and everyone who spoke offered condolences for their loss.

Last weekend, security expert turned author Matthew Horace sat down with Police Chief Catrina Thompson to discuss his new book “The Black and Blue: A Cop Reveals the Crimes, Racism, and Injustice in America’s Law Enforcement.”

happening,” Horace said Horace said he wants people to understand that often times with police-involved shootings, not only the individual acts of police officers should be held accountable.

He said there are levels of leadership involved sometimes including city council members, administrators and others in the “chain of information.” “... If you take the case in Chicago, there was a whole string of people that were involved. In Chicago the video was kept private for over a year and in Chicago there were at least 100 people who knew what transpired on the video,” he continued. “… It was the mayor, it was the city council, it was the chief at the time, it was a lot of people who knew this was out there. So in many cases as much as eyes are drawn toward police and officers, there is a whole string of people in the chain of information.”

Horace admits we are a long way from mending the relationship between law enforcement and the AfricanAmerican community, but there is hope. During his research, Horace said he came in contact with numerous law enforcement agencies, making sure officers are held

Woods said the living conditions in the building are also substandard. He repeated residents’ complaints about bedbugs and roaches, leaks and constantly breaking elevators.

If the building is sold and HUD approves the sale, the approximately 200 residents there can either relocate to another HAWS property or use a housing voucher to get an apartment, either locally or outside the city, on the private market for the same rent as what they’re paying now, which would include utilities. Their moving costs will also be covered.

Woods said most residents didn’t have objections to moving because of the building’s condition.

McCrae pulled a silver pistol out of his pocket, which fell to the ground and then McGuire yells “Gun! Gun!” At this point, the body cam has been dislodged by the struggle so the audio can be heard but only the ground is visible.

O’Neill said that McCrae got up and looked for the gun and, despite McGuire yelling repeatedly not to reach for the gun, grabbed it with both hands.

McGuire then fired four times at McCrae, hitting him three times and killing him.

accountable for their actions. Chief Thompson stressed the importance of accountability as well. She said while it is good to talk about accountability, action is what’s really important. Thompson, who has spent her entire 24 years in law enforcement with the WSPD, said throughout her career that’s always been the culture.

“I don’t doubt in any way accountability has always been the culture here. Now does that mean we haven’t had bad officers, absolutely not, but when we identify those officers that are not following the policies and laws of our agency, our city and our country, we have to get rid of them,” continued Thompson. “I tell my team we’re going to do the right thing whether someone is looking or not because that’s the right thing to do.”

have access to healthy fruits and vegetables, and with their emphasis on healthy eating, they have allowed us to do that,” Odom continued.

Since Herbalife Innovation & Manufacturing came to Winston-Salem in 2013, the company has forged a partnership with the Gateway YWCA. Along with the mural, the company and foundation have funded renovations at the Best Choice Center, healthy snacks for students and summer field trips.

Before the big unveiling on Wednesday, Sept. 5, Jenny Perez, executive director of the Herbalife Nutrition them from the largely white neighborhoods on the west side of town.

“Downtown is the living room of WinstonSalem and if these people can’t live downtown, what message are we sending to the people of our community?” said Taylor.

He said HAWS needs to look for other options, like private partners or a partnership with the city that could save the building. This was a sentiment shared by City Council members Dan Besse, Derwin Montgomery, John Larson and Denise “DD” Adams, with Adams adding that they would need to ensure the health and safety of residents there if they were to help maintain the building.

Montgomery, who chairs the General

Foundation, said the partnership with the YWCA is important because it gives them an opportunity to give back to the communities they’re in. And the Best Choice Center gives them the opportunity to do just that.

“We found this wonderful organization through one of our contacts and decided it would be a great opportunity for us to help with the nutrition program here at Best Choice,” continued Perez. “… I think what’s great is that you get a lot of the employees who come here and volunteer, so you have that built in community, which is really great.”

Government Committee, and is also one of The Chronicle’s owners, said that the residents living in the 203 units at Crystal Towers would occupy 203 units in other parts of the city, causing a large decrease in available affordable housing.

“It is going to send a larger ripple effect in this community that is going to have negative impacts on agencies and organizations who are trying to make sure people have housing,” he said.

City Council Member Jeff MacIntosh, who represents the Northwest Ward that contains Crystal Towers, said it was a “failing building” but that the sale is still a textbook case of gentrification, leaving HAWS in a very difficult position.

“What’s the greater evil, sacrificing your mission of serving as many people as you can on the budget that you have or the very public black eye of causing gentrification?” he said.

Woods said that maintaining the building would require an escalating permanent subsidy on a federal property, which he felt would’ve been “irresponsible” for him to ask for from the city.

Montgomery said he hoped the city can work with HAWS to address the issues facing Crystal Towers with the poor conditions there and the potential loss of affordable housing units.

Get ready for Florence and aftermath

The hurricane season has started full blast, with Hurricane Florence barreling toward North Carolina this week. She is predicted to hit the Triad by Friday.

We thought this would be a good time to relate some important points N.C. Insurance Commissioner Mike Causey urges residents to do to prepare now for Florence and her aftermath.

Causey says: “Know your insurance coverage, take pictures of your belongings, and leave your home if you need to in order to be safe. Being prepared in your home and at your workplace is the best way to survive a disaster and will put you in the best position for recovery once this emergency passes.”

He says: *Make sure you have adequate insurance coverage. *Compile important documents. Gather important paperwork, including insurance policies, medical records, and prescriptions. Be prepared to bring copies with you if you are forced to evacuate your home. *Create a home inventory. Store your home inventory and related documents in a safe, easily accessible place online, on your smartphone, on your computer or in a fire-proof box or safe deposit box. *Identify potential hazards around your home.

Hanging tree branches, loose shingles, patio furniture and other outdoor objects can cause damage or injuries in a storm. Make repairs or secure large objects to reduce the threat. *Review contact information. Make sure you have up-to-date contact information for your insurance agent and insurance company and make sure they have accurate contact information to reach you.

Consumers need to be especially careful during power outages, as the risk of carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning and fire increase.

Poisonous carbon monoxide from portable generators can kill you and your family in minutes.

After the storm, if the power is out: *Operate portable generators outside away from doors and windows and direct the generator’s exhaust away from the home and other buildings that someone could enter. *Never operate a portable generator inside a home, garage, basement, crawlspace, shed or on the porch. *Never ignore a carbon monoxide alarm when it rings. Get outside immediately. Call 911.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Anita Earls would make good justice To the Editor:

In the summer of 2015, I attended the three-week historic voter suppression trial held in Winston-Salem.

Having volunteered to be host to three of the plaintiffs in the case heightened my interest in and commitment to be present every minute of the trial.

The greatest reward for my attendance was witnessing Anita Earls’ vigoro u s CAMPAIGN defense o n behalf of the plaintiffs.

Her professional grasp of the issues and obvious concern for justice were immediately evident. Anita argued the case with brilliance, grace and grit.

Even though there was no convincing evidence of massive voter fraud as argued by the state, the judge ruled against the plaintiffs. The case was appealed to the 4th District Court of Appeals. The decision was clearly reversed with the majority opinion that the state had “targeted African Americans with almost surgical precision.” Anita Earls and her legal team won the day.

When I learned that Anita Earls was going to run for the N.C. Supreme Court, I was committed to do all I could do to help her win. Her election to the state’s highest court is the most important statewide race in this upcoming election.

For 30 years she has championed the cause of voting rights, plus criminal and environmental justice. She was the founding executive director of the Southern Coalition for Social Justice in Durham. Attorney Earls always strives to be fair and impartial.

Historically, voters have been unaware of judicial races. I urge you

2018

to become more mindful of this essential branch of government and vote for Anita Earls.

Let’s get back to the N.C. we used to be To the Editor:

I read with great interest the Civitas column analyzing Our Carolina Promise – a unified legislative agenda that is a forward-looking, positive promise to the citizens of North Carolina.

This is about better jobs, better schools, safer and healthier communities and ending the partisan games.

Some of these ideas are not new.

North Carolina had a world-class public education system before the Great Recession. We know that we can achieve that again.

What the folks at Civitas fail to see is the people behind these numbers and the policies Democrats are

Sen. Blue

proposing that are focused on people. Our Carolina Promise is 50 percent policy – no price tag attached.

Democrats want to encourage people to vote with tools like automatic voter registration when you turn 18, and online registration options.

We want to put policies in place that make polluters pay for Gen X spills and threats to our public health.

We want common sense gun safety reform, like red flag laws that allow courts to hold a violent offender’s gun if they pose a threat to their family or themselves.

We want to expand discrimination protections for age, sexual orientation and military status.

The candidates running for office are bringing in good ideas and forward-thinking solutions that don’t include tax breaks and higher fees.

There is a clear difference between the priorities the GOP has set over the past seven years and the priorities Governor [Roy] Cooper and North Carolina Democrats are proposing.

Some of those ideological differences are fiscal: Democrats don’t believe that the wealthiest need another tax break. Starting in 2019, they will get one thanks to the GOP’s new tax plan.

Democrats in the legislature fought hard to limit the GOP’s latest round of tax cuts to only those making $200,000 a year or less. The Republican leadership blocked it.

Governor Cooper joined Democrats in asking the GOP to rethink the corporate tax breaks. The Republican majority wouldn’t listen.

Tax breaks for the wealthy don’t educate our children; they don’t expand broadband to our rural areas; they don’t move North Carolina forward.

Part of the purpose of government is to promote the general welfare. That is where our priorities are as Democrats; that is what Our Carolina Promise is about.

Why WSSU will not tout its U.S. News ranking On Monday (Sept. 10), U.S. News & World Report released its 2019 college rankings.

You will undoubtedly see many universities touting their place Guest on the list. Winston-Salem Columnist State University will not be. But not for the reason you think.

For the past several years, WSSU has declined to fill out the annual peer evaluations and statistical surveys that U.S. News uses to compile its rankings. We have done so for several reasons. First, the rankings do not measure the quality of the education provided at an institution or the outcomes of its graduates. Those are important data points for us. At WSSU, we are proud that we rate Number One in the University of North Carolina System for students having jobs in North Carolina after graduation. We are proud that our health sciences graduates pass their licensure exams at rates far above the national average. We are proud that our students graduate

Elwood Robinson

at the highest rate of any of the minority-serving schools in the System. And we are proud to have appeared in the Top 20 in the nation for four years on the Social Mobility Index (SMI).

The SMI evaluates institutions based on admissions practices that work to reverse the growing economic disparity in the United States. WSSU consistently scores high on all of the variables considered in the ranking: number of low-income students admitted and graduated, low tuition cost and high employment outcomes after graduation. This ranking demonstrates that we are fulfilling our goal of helping students succeed while having a positive and long-lasting economic impact on our state and nation.

Second, pursuing a high ranking from U.S. News means spending money on things the publication’s formula deems important. For example, schools that turn away a high percentage of their applicants are considered “more selective” and thereby raise their rankings. This philosophy is antithetical to our university’s mission. At WSSU, we believe it is far better for us to focus our resources on attracting students who are the right fit and

How did we get here and how do we get out?

ensuring they thrive as part of the Ram Family.

Third, the rankings play a role in the increasing cost of higher education. The ranking formula rewards schools that spend more money. Schools that chase rankings may be forced to raise tuition to cover the costs of added expenses that do not demonstrably impact the quality of a student’s education. As Chancellor, I would rather keep our tuition rates low so our students are not saddled with unnecessary debt.

You may see WSSU tout various rankings we receive throughout the year. We focus on rankings that evaluate the quality of our academic programs, the value we provide to our students and their families, the outcomes of our graduates, and our commitment to student success.

We will continue to do our part to solve the dangerous problem of economic immobility in our country – and we will do it without chasing rankings that do nothing to evaluate our success in this area.

While Stephen A. driving my Tillett daughter to school, I was listenGuest ing to CNN Columnist on the radio as some commentators discussed Robert Woodward's latest book, "Fear: Trump In The White House."

Usually, she intentionally tries to tune out whatever discussions are taking place about national politics. But on this morning, after listening (apparently intently) to what the commentators were saying she asked me, "Daddy, why is he there?" That led me to try and explain, in terms that a first-grader would understand, the electoral process in the United States and to introduce her to the concept of the Electoral College.

Historically, the American people have proven to be a pretty astute judge of character of people running for the presidency. Unfortunately, the last three times

when the Electoral College outcome was different from the votes cast by the American people, there have been disastrous consequences. After the election of 1876, where Samuel J. Tilden earned a majority of the votes cast, but was denied the White House, it resulted in aborting Reconstruction and launched us into an almost 100-year journey of Jim Crow/Apartheid segregation in America, that our nation has yet to fully recover from.

Following the election of 2000, our country invaded a country that did not attack us, destabilized an entire region of the world, and our economy crashed. In 2016, in spite of losing by almost 3,000,000 votes, because of the Electoral College someone who was demonstrably unfit and unprepared to serve as president was given the keys to the White House and, as Woodward's book lays out in exhaustive detail, we find ourselves in the horrid position we are in today.

When people who do not win elec-

tions are declared the winner anyway, it deprives them of the legitimacy and moral authority to govern with the approval of the governed. This is not sustainable!

Our electoral process cannot continue to acquiesce to partisan electors, in lieu of the expressed will of the voters, to place into office people who will meet the demands of wealthy corporate interests at the expense of everyone else. Our deficit is exploding. The judicial appointments that are making conservatives giddy will, at the end of the day, result in greater protections for a corporate class that abuses the nation as a whole, continued attacks on our voting rights, and an increase in the excesses of the security and police state that are already very problematic.

Sadly, all of this is the result of the America's original sin/birth defect of slavery. In the latter part of the 1700s, Constitutional architect James Madison wrote: "There was one difficulty of a serious nature however attending an immediate choice by the people. The right of suf-

frage was much more divisive in the north rather than the southern states; and the latter could have no influence in the election on the score of Negroes. The substitution of electors obviated this difficulty and seemed on the whole to be liable to the fewest objections."

While that rationale might have carried the day when they were trying to form our Republic over 240 years ago, it's time has come and is way past gone!

Either we get rid of the Electoral College or, I fear, the very existence of a "United" States will be at risk in the future. The Electoral College must go!

Nike’s ad featuring Kaepernick goes for the big picture N i k e Guest s h o e s Columnist w e r e n ’ t around when I was growing up in Winston-Salem. Why? Because they hadn’t been created. Nike didn’t become a company until 1971, the year after I graduated from college. According to the history books, Blue Ribbon Sports predated Nike. The founder of Nike, Phil Knight, was also a part of Blue Ribbon Sports. Nike was the Greek goddess of victory.

I can remember going to the BocockStroud store downtown and buying a pair of Chuck Taylor Converse sneakers. The total cost, including tax, was $8.19. I didn’t have any money, so I had to ask my parents.

The Converse shoe came in a low cut or a high top. During my time, I had both varieties. Mind you, I only had one pair at a time. The same sneakers I went to school in were the same sneakers I used when I was playing sports, unlike today, as students wear one pair to the courts and another pair to social events. So, it is safe to assume that a lot of teens have two, maybe three pairs of sneakers.

While I laugh about it now, I guess wearing Converse sneakers meant you had membership in the in-crowd or at least you were being considered. Being a teenager today is no different than back in the day. You want to be recognized and feel like you are somebody. So, walking, playing or running around in a pair of $8.19 sneakers was a big deal.

I don’t remember my friends and me talking about who wore Chuck Taylor Converse shoes. At some point, I found out that Bob Cousy and Bill Sharman of the Boston Celtics wore them. Chuck Taylor, the person the shoe was named

after, was a high school basketball player in Indiana and later became a Converse shoe salesman. I certainly didn’t know any of this at the time of my purchase. I just knew that my friends were wearing them so, I had to wear them, too.

There weren’t any political associations made with sneaker companies. Has that changed?

As we know, former San Francisco 49er’s quarterback Colin Kaepernick started kneeling during the playing of the national anthem a few years ago. This action by him has taken on many different viewpoints from across America.

Nike, the one-time sneaker company now maker of athletic equipment, has chosen Colin Kaepernick to be the face and voice of its “Dream Crazy” marketing campaign. Included in this promotion are stars like LeBron James and Serena Williams. The advertisements will be run during the NFL season.

Kaepernick in the promo says, “Believe in something, even if it means

sacrificing everything.” Some people are upset with Nike and have chosen to burn their sneakers in protest. I believe there is a small percentage of shoe burners.

Nike’s well-tested slogan, “Just Do It,” is certainly in play here. This campaign is really about athletes who have beaten the odds. For example, Serena’s story is well-documented. When asked, rising tennis star Naomi Osaka said that Serena was her role model. Shaquem Griffin plays linebacker for the Seattle Seahawks and plays with one hand.

Sports, like life, present their set of challenges. Nike in its ad is simply highlighting those athletes who saw the mountain and climbed it. Cheers for Nike!

Pilkey was diagnosed with Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and dyslexia, which was often mistaken for bad behavior by his teachers.

He said most of the characters in his most popular books were ideas he had when he had been asked to leave class to sit in the library or the hallway as discipline for his actions.

“I didn’t have nothing else to do out there but draw pictures and write stories. It was actually my way of turning a very bad situation into something that was good,” Pilkey said. “… Having all those challenges inspired me to create characters.”

While interacting with students at the BB&T Ballpark, Pilkey drew pictures and signed autographs for students

who answered questions. Students where jumping out of their seats to answer questions about some of their favorite characters. Before leaving, Pilkey announced that every student would receive an official Captain Underpants cape and a copy of his latest book: “Dog Man: Lord of the Fleas.”

After the big announcement, Pilkey told the students, “Remember, choosing your own book and reading is something that gives you super powers.”

Nike makes waves with new ad

Nike recently released an ad featuring Colin Kaepernick, among other high profile athletes, for its 30th anniversary of the “Just Do It” campaign.

The sneaker company also announced Kaepernick will be the face for the campaign, which has many people upset to the point they are burning their Nike gear and swearing off the brand all together.

Nike made a bold move by making Kaepernick the face of the campaign, but I am sure the company was well aware of the risk and wanted to be on the right side of this debate.

Reportedly, Adidas and Puma also offered contracts to the former NFL quarterback, but he decided to stay with Nike.

As we all know, Kaepernick became a national discussion piece when he began to kneel during the national anthem played before NFL Football games in 2016.

He has not played in the league since then and currently has a collusion case pending against NFL owners for keeping him out of the league.

Kaepernick released a photo from the ad on his Twitter page with the words “Believe in something. Even if it means sacrificing everything” last week, which had people talking.

Since the release of the ad, the attention paid to it has reached all the way to the White House.

Of course our Commander-inChief had to weigh in on the subject, saying, “But I think it's a terrible message that they're sending and the purpose of them doing it, maybe there is a reason for them doing it,” in an interview with the Daily Caller.

“But I think as far as sending a message, I think it's a terrible message and a message that shouldn't be sent.

There's no reason for it.”

To be fair, President Donald Trump did add the following: “As much as I disagree with the Colin Kaepernick endorsement, in another way, I mean, I wouldn't have done it. In another way, it is what this country is all about, that you have certain freedoms to do things that other people think you shouldn't do, but I personally am on a different side of it.”

That has been my point all along. He is peacefully protesting, which is a right that every American citizen has. I think if people stop to hear his message instead of trying to twist the narrative, everyone will be better for it.

There have been hundreds of videos floating around the internet with people burning, cutting and throwing away their Nike gear in protest to the brand’s choice in Kaepernick. I am confused as to why certain individuals are so upset with Nike choosing Kaepernick to be the face of the campaign. I don't see people condemning the Catholic Church for the actions of some of their priests, nor do I see people burning the gear of players who have committed crimes such as rape, assault, domestic violence, vehicular manslaughter or drug abuse. Kaepernick did not committ any crime, See Ramsey on B2

Parkland High School inducts newest Hall Of Fame members

BY TIMOTHY RAMSEY THE CHRONICLE

The Parkland High School Hall of Fame inducted its third class of sports figures. The inductees were honored with a banquet last Thursday, Sept. 6, at the Old Salem Visitor Center.

The inductees are as follows: Deangelo Bell, Mike Bennett, Jabrea Greene (deceased), Roger Lail, Brandon Scott Isaiah, Roslyn Nowlin Payne, Monte Purvis, Maurice Kent “Mossy” White.

Parkland Athletic Director Linwood Jerald says he was very proud of all the inductees. He

feels that Parkland should have had a hall of fame years ago, but better late than never.

“When I got here, I had just left Andrews High School and we had just put one together over there,” said Jerald. “So when I got here, I felt like we should have had one here 25 years ago.”

“We are just trying to get everyone that is entitled to be in, but the hard part about it is people have to be recommended or nominated and we have to validate all of the information.

You just don't get in because you think you should be in.”

The Visitor Center was packed with family and friends of all of the inductees. According

to Jerald, this was one of the best ceremonies to date for the event. All of the inductees were given time to deliver a short speech following their introductions.

“It was fun and festive,” he said. “We had more people there than we have ever had before. I guess when you induct the people we inducted, you would have a crowd that will fill the room.

Jerald says he is honored to be a part of the team that is bringing to light some of the great athletes that have come from Parkland over the years.

freshmen,” said North Forsyth coach Corey Stewart. “I think they finally came out and played to their potential.”

Glenn started off the game on a sour note by committing several penalties that halted their first drive. The Bobcats dug themselves even deeper when freshman quarterback Camden Coleman threw an interception that was returned for a touchdown by Viking cornerback Admore Vincent.

“That was a momentum changer, I have a young quarterback, and that's all I have, so I have to go with that,” said Julius Reece, Bobcat head coach.

“We are going to make some changes and go back to the drawing board, but first thing first is I am going to get their mental state where it needs to be and prep them a lot better than I did this game.”

The early interception seemed to give the Vikings the confidence they needed.

The offense and defense picked it up a notch following the score.

Viking running back Terry Joseph started finding running lanes, and the defense started swarming to the ball.

“I told the linebacker to bluff in there and the quarterback will hit you right in the numbers, and he did, so that kind of worked in our favor because I was so surprised that they passed so much, but they are a quality team that will continue to get better, and we came out and played a quality game,” Stewart said.

in the second quarter as they attempted to mount a scoring drive before the half. Penalties once again bit the Bobcats and they were unable to put any points on the board.

“We started off a little flat on the trip over here from Glenn, and I could tell that it was a little different aroma in the air,” said Reece. “I guess they underestimated North Forsyth and they came out here and played like it.”

Glenn came out of the half with some momentum on both sides of the ball.

The Bobcats were driving down the field but was intercepted by Joseph, deep in Viking territory.

To their credit, the Bobcat defense held the Vikings to a quick three and out, but once again penalties hit Glenn, forcing a punt.

Early in the fourth, Joseph appeared to put the Vikings up by two scores, but a holding penalty negated the touchdown.

Unwavered, Vikings quarterback Marque Hall came back the next play and tossed a beautifully thrown ball to Treshaun Harris for a touchdown.

Lady luck was on the Vikings side once again as they were fielding a punt that bounced off of the returners hands.

Unfortunately for the Bobcats, they were called for interference on the play.

“We had an opportunity right there, but we blew opportunities earlier in the game,” Glenn’s Reece said. “We blew some opportunities against Carver last week that we should have made. We did the same thing the week prior to that against Parkland. We have blown some opportunities, but once again, we are a young team and me as a coach I can't get caught up in that.”

Antwan Springs capped off the scoring for the Vikings when he scored with just over 1:30 left in the game. Stewart says a win like this can really propel his young team forward in the weeks to come.

Stewart also said health will play a major role as well because he had three key players injured in the secondary.

done and are still doing, that speaks a lot about the preparation that Parkland has put into its graduates,” Jerald says. “It makes me feel great, especially since I graduated from here in 1971.”

Jerald says they begin the process of deciding on the inductees in January of every year. He says the applications for nominees go out in early March. In April, the inductees are normally chosen around

that time.

“It's a long drawn-out process because you have to validate everything, so we don't want to rush and put something together,” he continued.

Jerald says all of the inductees expressed how happy they were to be in this year’s class. He says he is looking forward to next year’s class already.

“We are already getting phone calls from people about next year,” he said. “I can't wait to see who comes in next.”

yet he is vilified as if he did.

The hatred spewed toward Kaepernick since 2016 is totally unwarranted, in my opinion. He knelt during the national anthem as a silent protest to the injustices people of color face on a daily basis in this country. His protest had nothing to do with the flag or military. The flag doesn't stand for the military. In fact, it was a Green Beret veteran who convinced Kaepernick that it was better to kneel than sit for the national anthem in the first place.

I’m sorry, people, but you do not get to change the narrative to fit your agenda.

He knelt for a reason, which was not to disrespect the military, so people need to get over that.

When I first saw the ad, my first thought was that Nike was using Kaepernick to exploit him for financial

gain. Upon further thinking, I also thought they wanted to support the former quarterback in his efforts to bring his message to a wider audience. Why can't it be both? Of course the company wants to turn a profit on this endeavor, but they also can be socially conscience by putting Kaepernick as the face of the campaign.

As I see it, this is a win-win for Nike and I'm sure the financial benefits will say the same when it's all said and done.

Kudos to Nike for taking a bold leap.

To those who say they are wrong for this move, continue to show your insensitivity to one of the issues plaguing people of color. I think the point is to force conversation so that action can take place, but if people keep denying the truth, we will always have protests.

Pastor initiates race relations summit

SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE

The first Platform Summit Conference of its kind will be held Sept. 15 on the Whole Man Ministries Campus, 3916 Old Lexington Road in Winston-Salem, in the Community Center.

This conference was created to help combat misunderstandings and incite people to change and

learn more about one another, especially here in Winston-Salem.

Pastor Camilla F. Washington, who is sponsoring the conference, says in a press release that the conference has as a subtitle, “A Diverse Group Of Women Talking Race Relations.”

It was conceived from a desire of two women from different backgrounds, who met while attending a

conference in WinstonSalem: a REI Racial Equity Workshop, “Foundations in Historical and Institutional Racism.”

Washington says race relations or the lack thereof has become something that has become a hot button topic throughout America since the events in Charlottesville, Virginia, in August 2017 and the toppling of confederate statues throughout the country,

Washington

including North Carolina.

Conversations about race and the lack of understanding is something that plagues American society, at the core racial issues See Summit on B5

Background: The time is again unknown; the place is Eden. The lesson deals with God’s last creation before resting. He created man. The author intends for us to know that humans were created to be like God. That is our possessions of moral abilities, mind, will and spiritual desires that drive our pursuit of holiness – striving to be like God. To be even more to the point, we possess the unique capacity to communicate meaningfully with God and are His vice-regents on earth.

Lesson: The Lord says “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness:” This introduces us to the first notion of the Trinity, according to many theologians.

The creation of man is often referred to as the crowning point of creation because of its place and the “image and likeness” stipulated. Man was created like God in that he could reason and had intellect, will and emotion and like God he was good and sinless (verse 26). God made mankind manager and supervisor of the world of living creatures. Included in that blessing was also instructions to “be fruitful and multiply,” fill the earth and oversee operations. In other words, be a steward over the earth.

As a steward, mankind is to ensure productive ordering of the earth and its inhabitants, to yield its riches and accomplish God’s purposes (verses 26-28). God also gives man dietary instructions that he and the beasts of the earth were to be “vegetarians” (verses 29-30). At the end of the day, God looked at all His creation … He had called it all “good” individually and now with it all complete, He calls it “very good.” God’s rest on the seventh day was not due to weariness, but it served to establish a pattern for man’s work cycle. The Sabbath was God’s sacred and ordained day given by Moses in the Old Testament and was originally Saturday, but was changed to Sunday by the New Testament church to commemorate the resurrection of Christ. (The MacArthur Study Bible, NIV Leadership Bible, UMI and the Oxford Bible Commentary.)

For Your Consideration: When did stewardship begin, and why is it important? Mankind started out on a vegetarian diet; when and why did it change?

Life’s Application: The instructions God gave to Adam still apply to us today. We are all stewards of the resources, abilities and opportunities that God has entrusted to our care and each of us must one day give an account of the manner in which we have used them.

Faithfulness is the basis of reward. “Now it is required that those who have been given a trust must prove faithful.” (1 Corinthians 4:2)

Piney Grove Baptist celebrates annual homecoming

By TIMOTHy RAMSEy THE CHRONICLE

The congregation from Piney Grove Baptist Church is celebrating this annual homecoming this week. The celebration ran from Sunday, Sept. 9, until tomorrow night.

The church kicked off its homecoming with a full day of services and fellowship this Sunday. Samuel J. Cornelius, pastor emeritus of New Jerusalem Missionary Baptist Church, delivered the message for the 10 a.m.

Service. Bishop J.C. Hash Sr. of St. Peter's Church and World Outreach Center was the speaker for the evening service.

“It was a breath of fresh air, a renewal and a day filled with excitement,” said Dr. James F. Linville, senior pastor of Piney Grove. “There is great expectations for this week based on the high bar set by Dr. Cornelius and Bishop Hash today.”

For the evening service, Hash's message to the congregation was titled “Fulfilling your Purpose.” He touched on how many people go about their lives and do not know their purpose. He told the congregation that it

is better to seek God for their purpose instead of just experimenting with life.

After the evening service on Sunday, everyone was invited to the sit down for a meal and continue with the fellowship.

Linville has been the pastor of Piney Grove for the past 28 years. He says every year during homecoming, it gives him a chance to reminisce and reflect on homecomings in the past. He stated it also gives him a chance to think about how God has placed His hands upon him.

All week the church invited a different speaker to deliver the message during the evening service. Linville says he expected them to deliver messages that are “beneficial to our church and our community.”

“My prayer is that when we receive the word, it will cause us to change in such a way that we can help others,” said Linville. “That's what Bishop [Hash] was talking about when he spoke about selfishness and greed. Once we learn that it's not about us, it's about doing the will of God, it makes us a better person.”

may merely be just a misunderstanding. The conversation needs more thought, and The Platform Summit does just that and will allow women from all backgrounds to engage in dialogue about issues concerning race relations between women.

“During the workshop, I met several wonderful women from different backgrounds and cultures; one in particular was Clare Tuttle, who I sat beside.

When we started talking, we realized that we more alike than we were different” said Washington.

Through conversa-

Homecoming

tions, (long after that workshop), a strong friendship developed between Washington (Black) and Tuttle (White). Both are interested in making race relations better for all women.

Washington said she hopes the summit will also foster friendships and open the doors to new conversations about race, hopefully allowing women to see through each other’s eyes, destroying stereotypes placed on women of all races in American society.

Washington said her desire is to make changes through awareness, as they talk and share experiences, good and bad; hopefully, coming to a new under-

standing and respect for one another.

“I think this is the mistake we make not coming to the table, not talking to our white counterpart; when we have no dialogue, and look not through each other’s’ lenses, and only look at what we see in society instead of having real conversation” said Washington.

The Summit has reached its seating capacity however; Washington desires to have more Summits of this kind in the future. If you are interested in attending or sponsoring The Platform Summit, please contact Washington at Whole Man Ministries or call (336) 785-2080.

CLINTON

Sunrise: June 3, 1937Sunset: September 7, 2018

“One glad morning when this life is over; I’ll fly away.” Dorothy L. Clinton better known as “Lil sister”, “Sister”, “Chief Rah-Rah”, “Hot Dot”, & “Red Coat” took her flight from her earthly home to her heavenly home on Friday September 7, 2018.

Dorothy was born June 3, 1937 to the late Ervin Clinton Sr. and Dora Truesdale Clinton in Forsyth County. Dorothy attended the local public school and was a graduate of Atkins High School in 1953. Dorothy retired from the Forsyth County Department of General Services as a supervisor.

Dorothy was a matriarch of the Mt. Calvary Churches of America Inc. while being appointed to serve the founder the late Bishop Broomfield Johnson by being his personal driver as they trav-

eled near and far to service the lord. Dorothy was recently honored as a faithful and dedicated member serving on several ministries in the church. Dorothy leaves many precious and beautiful memories to cherish a daughter, Cheryl Clinton; son, Reginald Clinton; brother, Ervin (Annie Ruth) Clinton of the city; sisters, Margaret Singleton of Washington, DC and Edna (Richard) Smith of the city; devoted granddaughter, Dr. Brittney Clinton; grandsons, Brandon, Dezmon Woods and Lamont; great-grand boys, Mister Jarod and Jarell Simmons; several nieces, nephews, cousins and special friends, Madam Mary Lee Haney, Ms. Melba Peoples, Mrs. Bonnie Eldridge, and “Teddy Bear.”

National summit explores the importance of culinary training

BY TEVIN STINSON THE CHRONICLE

Chefs, caterers and entrepreneurs from across the country met in Winston-Salem last week as two nonprofits designed to help break the cycle of hunger and poverty joined forces to host the Catalyst Kitchens, Feeding America National Summit.

Catalyst Kitchens and Feeding America are two separate job service training enterprises that provide training, resume building, and job placement in culinary jobs for people who have experienced barriers to employment whether due to long-term unemployment, homelessness, addiction recovery, criminal record or other circumstances.

During the three-day

summit that ended Sept. 6 at the Double Tree on University Parkway, the home of Second Harvest Food Bank’s Providence Programs, a member of both national organizations, attendees had the opportunity to learn about best practices, North Carolina cuisine, wage progression in the food industry and other job training trips. The summit also featured several demonstrations and taste testing.

Some of the experts who lent their expertise during the summit were Kim Prendergast, Feeding America community health & nutrition consultant; Renee Martin, Catalyst Kitchens director; Jeff Bacon, Providence executive director; Sarandra Sturdivant,

Providence client services assistant; Eric Aft, Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwest NC CEO; Kristen Culliney, Community Food Bank of Southern AZ director; Tim Reagan, MD Food Bank vice president of programs and network relations; Tim Grandinetti, Spring House and Quantto Basta Restaurant executive director and chief; and John Bobby, Roosters - A Noble Grille executive chief.

In a press release sent to The Chronicle last week, Chef Bacon said programs like Providence and others across the country are needed in every community to help people in need get back on their feet and overcome issues in their lives.

“There are people in

every community who need a second chance and are willing and eager to overcome the issues that have created barriers to their employment,” he said. “At Providence, and programs like ours across the nation, we bring critical ingredients together in a recipe for success that makes individual lives’ better and our communities’ places that can thrive.

Providence Kitchen at BB&T, Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwest NC’s second “Dine and Do Good” eatery, opens Sept. 19 in its modern, casual home on the first floor of BB&T’s corporate headquarters at 200 W. Second St. in Winston-Salem.

Providence Kitchen will bring farm-to-fork fare to the table with a morning menu that includes hearty breakfast bowls, “bodacious” biscuits, and Triple Fs – Fantastic Fast Frittatas, and fresh and flavorful lunch options that include hearty all-in-one lunch bowls, fresh made soups and salads, Panini sandwiches, wraps and more.

The café-style eatery will be open Monday through Friday from 7 a.m to 4 p.m., with a Barista Bar and grab-andgo service available all day, breakfast from 7 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. and lunch from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

“We appreciate BB&Ts significant investment in Providence Kitchen and their shared commitment to collaborating with Second Harvest on efforts like this one that support individuals who are working to make their lives better and make our community a better place to live,” said Eric Aft, CEO of Second Harvest Food Bank. “While Second Harvest’s restaurants are all about serving up great food, they are also enterprises with a purpose – helping graduates of our culinary and life skills training program to gain solid work experience that will enhance their earning opportunities in the foodservice industry.”

Chef Jeff Bacon, well known in the local restaurant scene for his culinary talent, generosity, and passionate leadership of Second Harvest’s Providence programs, is thrilled to see this second, more casual restaurant come to fruition.

“We’re proud and super excited to be opening Providence Kitchen at BB&T on Second Street and deeply appreciate all that BB&T has done to make it possible,” said Chef Jeff Bacon. “We know that our guests are going to love what we’ve got cooking, and I hope that knowing that their patronage is helping people to move ahead in the foodservice industry sweetens the experience for them.”

Ten of the 11 people who will be working fulltime at Providence Kitchen are graduates of Second Harvest’s Providence Culinary Training. With the opening of Providence Kitchen, they embark on the next phase of their journey as participants in a North Carolina Community Collegesapproved apprenticeship for 24-months.

All proceeds from Providence Kitchen will support the continuation of Providence Culinary Training which, to date, has graduated 675 students, many of which are now working at many of Winston-Salem’s most beloved eateries.

“We are excited that Providence Kitchen has become a reality,” said Cantey Alexander, BB&T Triad Regional President.

“This new restaurant will not only be a welcome addition to the downtown Winston-Salem community, but underscores our support of Second Harvest Food Bank and their mission to make certain no one goes hungry.”
