Town Talk 06/03/20: Protestor Khalil Gay Talks ‘Ending Stigma of Violence & Crime’

100.1 FM ~ 1450 AM ~ WIZS, Your Community Voice ~ Click to LISTEN LOCAL

Khalil Gay, a participant in last weekend’s protest in downtown Henderson, appeared on WIZS Town Talk Wednesday at 11 a.m.

Gay said, “people of all creeds, colors, ages and dispositions” gathered downtown on Sunday, May 31, 2020, in response to the death of George Floyd, an African-American man who died during an incident with law enforcement in Minneapolis, Minnesota on May 25.

While not an original organizer, Gay said he and his peers wanted to be among the first to arrive in order to set the tone for a peaceful protest.

“The last thing we want for our community is to continue the stigma of negativity, violence and crime,” stated Gay. “We wanted to show people that there are young black men that care about our community and that want to see everybody come together and thrive.”

The participation of local law enforcement and elected officials in Sunday’s protest went a long way in facilitating conversation on community relations, said Gay.

“Lt. Jessica West, Henderson Police Chief Marcus Barrow and Rev. John Miles came out there to have a conversation, and I was so appreciative,” Gay said. “That’s what we all want – we want understanding and conversation. They were willing to stand with us and have that conversation.”

According to Gay, “conversations focused on the prevalence of racism in the community and ways to put an end to systematic racism and prejudice, in general.”

Gay was pleased that the protest remained peaceful and said the event was just the beginning of the larger task of improving community and race relations.

“People say the protest was a great start, but where do we go next? Now we have to think about what we actually want in Henderson. A lot of people are saying police brutality has never been a problem for us here, so then we need to be able to improve community relations. I feel like my job is to step up to the plate, have the conversation with our elected officials and tell them what we as a black community want from them – what can be done, not only to make us feel more included but to feel more protected and feel safer in our communities.”

Gay said he has begun that process by attending Monday night’s Vance County Board of Commissioners’ meeting to discuss the protest. He said he plans to continue to attend additional Vance County and Henderson City Council meetings to learn more about the process and to represent the black community.

At the Commissioners’ meeting, Gay had a conversation with Vance County Sheriff Curtis Brame who had positive things to say about the experience on Tuesday’s edition of Town Talk.

“It was very interesting for us to hear from young people who are concerned about Vance County,” said Brame. “He [Gay] was saying ‘Hey, we’re not going to let people come in Vance County and tear down our city and our county. This is where I was born and raised.’ He was saying ‘we are not going to let that happen.’ We told him that if you say that, we are going to stand beside you; we’re going to stand with you in unity.”

“Ultimately, I feel like the power is in the people,” Gay explained. “We don’t understand that our government, police and elected officials are there to serve us. If we don’t let our voices be heard, if we don’t vote and research before we vote, if we don’t attend city council and commissioners’ meetings, if we don’t find out who our sheriff and police chief are, we will be lost and won’t be able to make real change.”

Gay is a 2019 graduate of Vance County Early College High School, a tutor at Vance-Granville Community College and a hip hop artist who describes his music as “positive and reflective.” You can check out his website at www.2flykng.com.

Town Talk 06/02/20: Sheriff, H-V Rec & Park Director Discuss Downtown Rally

100.1 FM ~ 1450 AM ~ WIZS, Your Community Voice ~ Click to LISTEN LOCAL

Vance County Sheriff Curtis Brame and Henderson-Vance Recreation and Parks Department Director Kendrick Vann appeared on WIZS Town Talk Tuesday at 11 a.m.

Brame and Vann discussed Sunday’s rally/walk through downtown Henderson, a response, in part, to the death of George Floyd, an African-American man who died during an incident with law enforcement in Minneapolis, Minnesota on May 25.

With an estimated 30-40 rally participants, primarily young people and community leaders, both men expressed their gratitude that the event remained peaceful.

 

“It went very well on Sunday,” said Brame. “People came together to protest in an orderly fashion. There was no name-calling, no one got out of hand and no one tried to block the street. It was just a great rapport.”

Vann agreed, “Everything went really, really well. I’m truly proud of the young men and women that came out for this great cause. It’s very rare that you have people between the ages of 17 and 25 that stand up for something and have a purpose.”

Vann said the biggest takeaway of the day was the thoughtful conversations and the knowledge gained.

“Participants got an education between myself, Henderson Police Chief Marcus Barrow, the Henderson City Council members, Rev. John Miles and others,” stated Vann. “They learned a lot about the process of doing things the right way. We also talked about the history of Vance County and downtown Henderson, why the community was named what it was named and the importance of knowing where your City and County offices are located. These young adults didn’t know that information, but they were excited to learn more.”

Sheriff Brame said what was most important to participants is that law enforcement and community leaders took the time to listen. “We cannot solve all the world’s problems, but we need to be there to communicate and listen,” Brame explained. “All people want us to do is hear them out, to be patient and listen to them.”

Addressing a recent press release issued by the North Carolina Sheriffs’ Association and posted to WIZS.com (click here for full statement), Brame agreed that the officer in the Floyd incident acted “inexcusably” and his actions were “totally contrary to the training provided to law enforcement officers in North Carolina.”

Brame said he believes the respect for law enforcement in Vance County, and the respect law enforcement shows the community, is in a good place right now, and he doesn’t want to see that damaged.

“I had a young man come up to talk to me in my vehicle at the protest,” said Brame. “He didn’t understand the presence of law enforcement at the event. I explained to him that we don’t want what has happened in surrounding areas such as Raleigh and Charlotte to happen in Vance County. It took us a long time to build up what we have. Why would we tear it down?”

Vann reminded listeners that law enforcement is vital to a successful, thriving community. “Law enforcement is here for a reason and we’ve got to trust the system. Some people have bad experiences of working with the system and don’t have the whole story; that’s what makes it a sensitive topic.”

By working collaboratively, Vann said the Vance County Sheriff’s Office and Henderson Police Department are improving community relations.

“I think Sheriff Brame and Chief Barrow – one being African-American and the other being Caucasian – do a great job of working together to minimize a lot of things,” Vann said. “People in the community have to hold officers and deputies accountable. If you see someone doing something wrong, don’t blow it off. These two great men leading these departments can’t see or be everywhere. We have to tell them so that we can help prevent things from happening. We as a community need to be accountable for what goes on in our own community. That’s what I believe, and that’s why I was there on Sunday.”

Brame echoed Barrow’s request on yesterday’s Town Talk episode asking anyone that wants to hold a rally or protest in Henderson or Vance County to go through the proper channels by contacting the sheriff’s office or police department first.

Town Talk 06/01/20: Henderson Police Chief Discusses Sunday’s ‘Peaceful’ Downtown Protest

THIS STORY IS PRESENTED IN PART BY DRAKE DENTISTRY

Henderson Police Chief Marcus Barrow appeared on WIZS Town Talk Monday at 11 a.m.

Barrow discussed Sunday’s protest/walk through downtown Henderson, a response, in part, to the death of George Floyd, an African-American man who died during an incident with law enforcement in Minneapolis, Minnesota on May 25.

Following days of both orderly protests and violent riots and looting throughout the country, Barrow reported that Sunday’s local gathering was both “peaceful and productive.”

Barrow estimated 30-40 Henderson residents participated in the protest, including local community leaders Kendrick Vann, director of the Henderson-Vance Recreation and Parks Department; Lt. Jessica West, Henderson Police Department; Sara Coffey, Henderson Mayor Pro Tem; and Henderson City Council Members Melissa Elliott and Marion Williams.

“These community members came out yesterday to engage with the group, to engage our youth in conversation,” said Barrow. “We walked around downtown peacefully and talked and held a conversation the entire time. I think it was very productive.”

When asked to elaborate on their discussions, Barrow said, “We talked about history and where we are today. We talked about the incident in Minnesota. We talked about the right way of doing things and the wrong way of doing things. They were receptive to what we had to say and I feel like we were open to what they wanted to talk about and their opinions. We agreed on the majority of the things we discussed.”

According to Barrow, during the protest, phone numbers were exchanged and dates were scheduled for further discussions “among some Henderson residents whose paths had never crossed before.”

Barrow said some participants asked him if there were any fundamental changes he would like to see in law enforcement. “I told them ‘absolutely,'” he said. “As a nation, I think there are some fundamental changes we need to make to our hiring process and the way we operate.”

While currently a voluntary measure, Barrow said one thing he’d like to see is more law enforcement agencies become a part of the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA). According to Barrow, the Henderson Police Department is a CALEA participant with the next closest accredited departments being Durham and Raleigh.

“CALEA provides police departments and sheriff’s departments alike with opportunities to have up-to-date policies and best practices,” explained Barrow.

For those planning future protests or demonstrations in Henderson, Barrow said the proper procedure is to contact the HPD at (252) 431-4141 to file the required paperwork.

Town Talk 05/27/20: VGCC Offers Customized Business Training Programs

100.1 FM ~ 1450 AM ~ WIZS, Your Community Voice ~ Click to LISTEN LOCAL

Keith Shearon, director of Customized Training at Vance-Granville Community College (VGCC), appeared on WIZS Town Talk Wednesday at 11 a.m.

VGCC provides customized training programs tailored to meet the needs of a company and its employees. Classes are flexible in design to accomplish specific objectives and are jointly planned by company managers and training specialists from the College.

Funded by the State of North Carolina, Shearon said these programs offer companies training that assists with plant expansions, technological advancements and productivity enhancements.

Pioneered in 1958 to enhance economic development in NC by way of a well-trained and educated workforce, customized training was, and continues to be, a key part in attracting new companies and retaining existing companies, explained Shearon.

Examples of VGCC’s customized training courses include:

  • Computer Training
  • Communication Skills
  • Customer Service
  • Environmental
  • Leadership
  • Management
  • Quality Control
  • Safety & Health
  • Team Training
  • Technical & Engineering
  • Vocational Trade

Eligible industry sectors include manufacturing, technology-intensive, life sciences, regional or national warehousing and distribution centers, business and technical support centers, air courier services and national headquarters with operations outside of NC.

As an example, Shearon said customized training would be appropriate when a manufacturer purchases equipment and needs to train employees on how to operate the new technology. The company’s management would contact VGCC to schedule an assessment and map out a training plan for employees before and/or after hire.

With five projects currently underway, Shearon said companies are reaching out to VGCC’s Customized Training Program for assistance during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“We have this struggle going on in our economic situation right now,” stated Shearon. “We have some companies that are growing despite the situation, and we have other companies that are struggling because of the situation. A lot of companies are trying to figure out how to use the resources they have available to them to carry on the best that they can.”

While VGCC is typically regarded in the community as a place to register for courses that will lead to the completion of a degree or a diploma, Shearon said the College has much to offer in terms of shorter-term training and business guidance as well.

For more information on VGCC’s Customized Training Program, please contact Shearon at (252) 738-3433, shearonj@vgcc.edu or visit the website at https://www.vgcc.edu/coned/industry-services/.

The Red Shield Boys & Girls Club camp will be held June 15 through August 14, 2020, from 7 a.m. until 6 p.m. Monday through Friday. Participants may attend all nine weeks or may pick and choose weeks. Cost is $55 per week, and snacks and lunch are provided each day.

Town Talk 05/20/20: Henderson Rec Players ‘Family’ Will Pull Through Difficult Year

/by

100.1 FM ~ 1450 AM ~ WIZS, Your Community Voice ~ Click to LISTEN LOCAL

Husband and wife team Tommy and Jo Ellen Nowell, along with son Matt, all heavily involved with the Henderson Rec Players and McGregor Hall Performing Arts Center, appeared on WIZS Town Talk Wednesday at 11 a.m.

The Nowells spoke about the Henderson Rec Players’ recent decision to cancel its 2020 summer season – the first break since its conception in 1972 – while also remembering the good times of the past and looking ahead to the future.

Jo Ellen, director of the Henderson Rec Players for 19 years, explained that canceling this year’s season was actually a perfect storm that included issues with obtaining performance rights and paying required royalties, along with complications from the coronavirus pandemic.

“Several of the rental houses in New York were going through a merger when we attempted to get rights to the productions in the winter. We were told they were tied up with the merger and requests were on the backburner,” said Jo Ellen. “When the virus struck, rental houses were busy with cancelations and transfers and requests continued to be on the backburner.”

Between issues with obtaining rights and restrictions on physically congregating for auditions, rehearsals and performances thanks to COVID-19, Jo Ellen lamented, “put all these things together and that’s why we had to make the decision to postpone.”

Since planning began for the 2020 season in the winter of 2019, and requests for production rights had already been made, Jo Ellen is hopeful that the Henderson Rec Players are now ahead of the game for the 2021 summer season.

Discussing the history of the Rec Players, Tommy, the former technical director and still an integral part of each production, said he has been involved with the group for 48 years. In talking “Henderson Rec Players All-Stars,” Tommy said he had to start with Chuck Grubbs, then the head of the Vance County Recreation and Parks Department, and Dwight Pearce, a now-retired local English and drama teacher and former mayor of Norlina.

“Chuck had the concept that recreation is more than a bat and a ball; recreation includes theatre and the arts,” said Tommy. “He and Dwight put their heads together and came up with the concept of the Rec Players.”

For all but the last few years, Rec Players’ performances were held in the E.M. Rollins Elementary School auditorium. That changed when McGregor Hall opened its doors with a state-of-the-art, 1,000-seat theatre in 2016.

The Henderson Rec Players, previously under the jurisdiction of the City and County via the Henderson-Vance Recreation and Parks Department, was incorporated as part of McGregor Hall last year. Matt Nowell, technical director for McGregor Hall, explained that it was “always part of the plan” for the Rec Players to eventually fall under the umbrella of the performing arts center.

Jo Ellen said this change has allowed for more space and an even greater inclusivity for all those interested in theatre. “We are inclusive is so many ways and are one of the few programs open to all ages. It’s great for children to see other children, teenagers and adults all working together and learning from each other. We work with all cultures and all abilities. We do not turn anybody away, ever.”

The Nowells are proud of the fact that many involved in the Rec Players have made theatre or the arts their profession. “So many of the people who have worked with the Henderson Rec Players in the past have gone on from this area to have professional careers. One of the best examples is Bobby Funk who is now a drama professor at East Tennessee State University. Another alumnus is the technical director of the Miami City Ballet,” Jo Ellen said.

With a lengthy hiatus looming, Tommy said he hopes people will reflect on what local theatre has meant to the community.

“I’m hoping people will take this time to realize what they are missing by not having us. There’s an old adage: ‘How can I miss you if you won’t go away?’ Perhaps people will realize that this is a pretty unique thing we have going on here, and the support of the community is absolutely essential.”

The Nowells are humbled by the response they have received from the community since their cancellation announcement and have been touched by those who have reached out in support and gratitude for their time with the group.

“The Henderson Rec Players is a family,” Tommy said. “In a 40 to 50 year period of time, people come in and people go out, but you’re always part of the family.”

Matt echoed that sentiment, “Our mission has always been to entertain the community, but it has also been to provide a place for people who may not feel that they have a place anywhere else.”

Town Talk 05/19/20: Henderson Manager, Mayor Address Proposed City Budget

/by

100.1 FM ~ 1450 AM ~ WIZS, Your Community Voice ~ Click to LISTEN LOCAL

Henderson City Manager Terrell Blackmon and Mayor Eddie Ellington appeared on WIZS Town Talk Tuesday at 11 a.m.

Blackmon discussed the $18,992,950 proposed Fiscal Year 2020-2021 City of Henderson Budget as presented to the Henderson City Council at the May 18, 2020, meeting.

The recommended budget for the new fiscal year to begin July 1 is an increase of 7% over the current year’s budget.

A public hearing to receive citizens’ comments on the proposed budget will be held on Tuesday, May 26 at 6 p.m.

Presenting his first budget as Henderson City Manager, Blackmon, who took over the position from retired manager Frank Frazier earlier this year, said this year’s budget was “unique” as considerations were made around COVID-19.

According to Blackmon, city residents may be pleased to hear that the proposed budget does not recommend tax increases or water/sewer fee increases for the new fiscal year.

“The Council and I were very impressed and thankful that they were able to put together a budget with no tax or fee increases while still maintaining the same level of services,” Ellington responded.

The proposed budget also includes an appropriation of $1,500,000 to the City’s Fund Balance, an increase from the $1,066,720 that was approved for the current fiscal year. Blackmon said the City’s fund balance remains well above the minimum requirements as set by the Local Government Commission.

“For the last four or five years, in order to balance our budget, we’ve had to utilize some of our fund balance. Because there isn’t a recommended tax or fee increase this year, we are budgeting a little more fund balance,” explained Blackmon.

Despite initial concerns on the effect COVID-19 would have on sales tax, Blackmon said the City is doing well on that front. “Much to our surprise, we’re actually trending slightly ahead of last year. There was a lot of shopping going on during the months of March and April, so we didn’t see a decline in our sales tax.”

While Blackmon said the new fiscal year’s budget remains “relatively flat,” some increases are expected in electric utilities and employee health insurance costs.

Addressing the on-going mission to reduce the number of job vacancies and employee turnover, Blackmon reported that less than 10 percent of the City’s positions are currently vacant.

The proposed FY 2020-2021 budget is available for viewing in its entirety on the City of Henderson’s website, under the Finance Department tab (click here).
