Felony charge against grocer dropped Chronicle Staff Report A felony charge against an Egyptian born grocery store operator for receiving stolen prop erty in August has been dropped. Azzat Aly Amer, who had owned the 311 Grocery Store in the Jet Way Shopping Center for just two months, was charged with the offense by Winston-Salem police after they had been tippCd off that a tractor trailer full of beer was being unloaded into his store. According to the Forsyth County clerk of court's office and Azzat's attorney, A. Lincoln Sherk, that charge was dismissed. But Azzat still faces misdeamenor charges involving sale of beer without a license, which Azzat says he will provide at his next court appearence Nov. 2, and possessing untaxed, paid alcoholic beverages. Police investigators discovered in August that the 45-foot tractor trailer load of beer, about 5,000 eases, had been stolen from the Stroh Brewery Company. The cargo was valued at more than $30, (XX) dollars. The driver of the truck, 39-year-old Lawrence Edward Bell, of 281 Grape Street, has been released on probation. Police said Bell was suppose to drive the truck tc Ann Harbor, Michigan to deliver the cargo but instead sold it to Mr. Amor. Child Guidance Center to close in December by RUDY ANDERSON Chronicle Managing Editor ?The Child Guidance Center, which has been open for 35 years offoring therapeutic and diagnostic psychiatric services, is closing due to persistent operating deficits. .The Chronicle has learned that the center, located at 610 Coliseum Drive, will close as of Dec. 31, but that some of the services offered will be continued at Bowman Gray Scliool of . Medicine and the Forsyth-Stokes Mental Health Cen ter. Center director, Clyde Bene dict, said the decision to explore the possibilty of merging programs with larger organizations began two or three years ago. He said those considerations resurfaced a couple of months ago when it was deter mined that the center would contin ue to operate at a loss. This year's operating budget is approximately $650,000. There are nine full- time staff members and eight on part7 time status. Eight years ago, the center had a full-time staff of 30 and "a budget of more than $800,000. Benedict said that even though several measures have been taken to cut costs over the years, it has not been enough to joperate without a loss. Center officials say services for 400 to 600 children and their fami lies are provided each year that also include speech therapy, learning disability training, and day classes. Benedict estimated that 30 to 35 per cent of those served are African American and receive these services at market rates. Some, of the center's employees are not sure how many of them will find jobs at the other facilities or how mnnv of the other programs will be absorbed. Benedict said Tuesday that out patient work done by the center would now tje done at Bowman Gray, and that center's day treat ment program lomfildren ages three to six years old would be han dled by the Forsyth-Stokes Menial Health Center. "We can save money by operat ing it (the center) joined with other large organizations," Benedict said. "After a loss of public funding eight years ago, it was predicted that the center would close in six months," he said. "Here we are eight years ^ "taierund no\v~wchnvc -arranged -a plan to continue the services once provided by the center. So it's a happy situation." ? ? But Benedict did acknowledge that several parents did express con cern upon hearing the news that the center would close. "They wanted to find ways, monetary and otherwise. ~UT keep thcTenter-openrBut-realistt cally, a fc\^parcnts just can't meet that kind of financial obligation," he said.
