Cormier maintains that the building, which will
primarily serve the black community, will still be a highquality
facility.
"We are not compromising in terms of quality or size
the basic element of what was intended at Winston
Lake," he said. "The bottom line is that we all want a
quality facility at Winston Lake. We all want the same
thing but we have X amount of dollars to spread so far."

nuwcvcr, oy nis calculations, Allen said Monday
night, the money for the facility should be there.
"When they (the YMCA) started the campaign drive to
raise money last year, the Winston Lake facility was top
priority," Allen said. "We (the Patterson Avenue board
- - of directors) were promised 62.45 percent of the money
raised and, because we were not able to monitor the
monies coming in, we also got a stipulation included that
says if the goal was not reached, all the other (citywide
YMCA) projects would be cut by 25 percent before Patterson's
share was touched;
"And .they have deceived us. They are doing us just
like they did the Indians - sign the treaty and then run
off."
Cormier said the Patterson Y was not promised 62.45

Because of the court-ordered reapportionment of
Forsyth County to create single-member districts,
local primaries will not be held on May 8, but may be
postponed until May 15, the date set for second
primaries. If the primary is postponed, the filing ^
period for persons interested in running for the state
House will be reoDened. ?
According to a plan endorsed by the local Hoyse
delegation, one district will have a 61-percent black
population, the other a 51-percent black population.
Annie Brown Kennedy will run in the first district,
Dr. C.B. Hauser in the second. Kennedy and Hauser,
" both incumbents, have filed for re-election but, if the
fiffng period isTextended, others could file to run
~ against them.
Otherwise, Kennedy and Hauser will run unoppos.

percent of the money raised, but was instead promised
62.45 percent of the $5.06 million campaign goal.
And the Patterson Y is actually getting even more than
that, Cormier said. "They were supposed to get $3.1
million," he said. "Now they will be getting in excess of
$3.3 million."
The facility the Patterson Avenue board prefers to
build would cost approximately $3.5 million, Roseboro

saiu. /\na oom Koseboro and Allen say the money should
be there to do it. The only additional money that is needed,
they say, is $76,000 to $100,000.
But Cormier says the Patterson Y has already been
given more than any other facility and additional money
is not available.
Allen said he is not convinced, noting that the
Metropolitan board found enough money to pay off an
outstanding debt but cannot find enough to help the Patterson
Y build the type of facility the black community
deserves.
The Metropolitan board had incurred a debt of
$600,000 that had to be paid by December 1983, but
didn't have enough money to make the payment. Allen
and Roseboro charge that money was siphoned from

"It's been a very, very difficult task trying to get this
building on the way," Cormier said. "1 feel the bottom
line will be something we can all be proud of and will
have all the basic elements originally planned to the best
of our ability."
Roseboro disagrees. "They want us to have a block
building," she said. "When we first showed them our
plans they told us that we didn't need an indoor swimming
pool. They said they would put a shelter around the
outdoor pool that's over there and we could use it six
months out of a year.
"1 don't think people would have contributed if they
didn't think we were going to have a first-class facility,
and 1 don't think the foundations and corporations
would have contributed to this campaign to pay off an
Did debt. So far, that's about all that's been done."

now they don't want to do that for us and we were the

a building and we want something that's right."
