Roundtable picks Ed
based their campaigns on their experience, Edmisten as
the state's attorney general for 10 years and a protege of
former U.S. Sen. Sam Ervin, and Knox as a two-term
mayor of Charlotte and a state senator.
But some members of the Roundtable were not impressed
by other aspects of Edmisten's past, Graves says.
"We had some problems with his record," Graves
says. "His failure to take more decisive action in the appointment
of a special prosecutor for the Wilminaton 10
case and for the Klan-Nazi shootout in Greensboro
presented real problems.** - - ^
Still, Graves says, Edmisten*s rapport with the black
community is strong enough that the Roundtable would
expect him to be more accountable if he becomes governor.
Edmisten is, not, however, guaranteed the
?he wiiTs-ttimmoff, says Graves, and w?in>irtalted upon
to address more issues more specifically .

amount of vandalism at Winston Lake out of the ordinary.
"This is unusual for a job this size,*' he says.
The contractors and their insurance company will bear
the cost of some of the damage while the rest of the added
expense will come from the Winston Lake YMCA's
budget.
That's bad news for a project already over budget, says
Brian Cormier, executive director of the Metropolitan
vH/irA ? J L - ? 1 -?

Both the contractor and the YMCA have insurance,
but both have policies with deductibles which have to be
paid before the insurance picks up the tab. In addition,
Cormier says, both the YMCA and the contractor face
having their policies cancelled.
"We run the risk of losing the insurance altogether
because so many claims are being filed," Cormier says.
"Or the premiums will be raised to a point that we can't
pay them."
One-measure the YMCA and contractor have taken to
discourage vandals is the hiring of the security guard to
patrol the area while the construction crew is away.
But it is a costly measure.
"It's unfortunate that that solution happens to be the
most expensive," Cormier says.
Representatives of the Metropolitan YMCA board,
the Patterson Avenue Board of Management and FowlerJones
also met and discussed several other security options,
including electronic beams, fencing, lighting and
guard dogs.
Fencing and lights have been installed at the site.
How much will the vandalism and the preventive
measures cost the YMCA? Approximately $30,000 to
$35,000 would be a conservative estimate, says Cormier.
"This is a significant problem," he says. "And it's
very unfortunate. But ... we were at a point where we had
to take some kind of action."
Both Cormier and Walters say they don't know why
this site has been the target of so many incidents.
However, Cormier speculates that Winston Lake's status
as a popular teen hangout could be a prime reason.
"I understand that an element that is really negative
has created a hangout in that area," Cormier says.
"Unless we take steps to get rid of that element, they will
become a potential target to create problems."
The answer, as Cormier sees it, is for the police, the city
and the community to work together to come up with
positive solutions to the problems at Winston Lake.
Unless something is done now, Cormier says, the
Winston Lake YMCA could suffer the effects long after

An added burden to many youth who are in need ol

Because Tom Gilmore, who the Roundtable endorse
in the May 8 primary, has given his support to Knox an
actively campaigned for him, many felt the Roundtabl
would follow suit. But Graves says the organization wj
bound neither politically nor morally to follow Gilmon
"The mere fact that Gilmore endorsed Knox does nc
mean we have to follow him because Knox is nc
Gilmore," Graves says.
Whatever the outcome of the governor's race, Grave
says, the Roundtable will monitor Jim Hunt's successc
carefully.
"Come January 1985," he says, "there will be
Caucasian man over 40 in the governor's mansion wh
will have to deal with us."
The Roundtable also endorsed Richard Barnes fc
the Roundtable's May 8 endorsement. Graves
was based on Barnes' record as a state senator.

44As long as prospective members know that that el
ment hangs out over there, they aren't coming and th
could sabotage the project," Cormier says. 44We are vei
concerned about that. I hope that the community at larj
and the city can work together to solve the problem f<
the benefit of the community. Now it's at a point whei
it's a burden to us."
