, JJ-. .. . . c ... J,- -? Tournament organizers choose Chariots! over Wm Continued from page A1 been talking with city officials about holding the tournament in Winston-Salem April 12-14, until ' about two months ago. The B.C.B.C. wanted $1.25 ?* million in support from the com ; munity to put on the tournament. Part was to go toward a scholarship fund and part was to be used as stait up funds for the 1992 event The cash request from the city was $187,000 dollars and the rest from in-kind contributions from the corporate sector through a series of package plans. ? But apparently the requests McDaniel made did not address some of the concerns city officials had about the arrangements for the tournament when he met city and . business officials about the project in January. , (< HIt was our understanding that Mr. McDaniel was ready to sign a contract for rental of the coliseum, ' then he came to us with a proposal that the city put up $187,000 dol lars. We were not up to raising that kind of money,, on such short notice," Fredericks said. Fredericks said he explained to = McDanieHftatlieTOUld^r before ^the ciiy^Board of Aldennen and ~ ask for the money if he wanted to try that option.HBut I told him the Convention Center/Coliseum Com mission didn't liave that kind of money just lying around in a vault. Plus we explained that our number one priority for a basketball event was the CI A A, an event with a proven track record." Fredericks said with the city making a bid to land the C1AA tournament, he felt it would be dif ficult to "go to the well" too many times in seeking community sup port. Fredericks said the Commis sion is only authorized to negotiate rental agreements on the Conven tion Center and the Coliseum. But in a letter to Fredericks, McDaniel questioned the change in the initial deposit request of $1 ,000 for the coliseum to $5,000. He also asked to see in writing the. city's policy for first time producers "to show certain past performances.? Bucky Dame, assistant Coli seum director in charge of book Salvation Army gets jjwo grants % V. . ? M ; Chronicle Staff Report ; ' > The local Salvation Army Area Command has received $153,975 in two grants from the Kate B. Reynolds Poor and Needy Trust. The fiends will be used to support the Army's Emergency Assistance Program and to purchase two vehi cles for the Salvation Army Boys' Club. "The Kate B. Reynolds Poor and Needy Trust has provided sub stantial support for our efforts over the years and these latest gifts mean ? a great deal to our programs," said ; Maj. R.E. Sutton, area commander. "We know we will have $117,975 available for emergency assistance to help families and individuals who arc in need. The $36,000 for the two vans will help with the vari ous outreach programs currently being conducted by the Boys' dub." Money in the Emergency Assistance Program goes directly to people who come to the Salvation Army for help with such things as rent, utility bills and deposits for a place to live. The two vans will be used to get members and staff to the Boys' Club satellite programs, to take club members and staff to the Boys' Club satellite programs and to take club members to special activities in the community. The Kate B. Reynolds Poor and Needy Trust is a private foun dation created in 1946 through a provision in the will of Mrs. William N. Reynolds for the pur pose of improving the welfare of Forsyth County's disadvantaged )eople. ________ Clean Topsoil and Fill Dirt , Available at New Walkertown Market Site. Located on New Walkertown Rd. behind the new ABC store. Call 777-3474 ings and promotion, said McDaniel was sent three contracts between January and March. He said Coli seum officials even rearranged some events to try and accommo- _ date McDaniel's April dates. He said rent deal was also worked out with McDaniel. But he said, as the date of the event drew nearer, McDaniel never paid the standard $2,500 rental deposit on the Coli seum. "1 was on the phone constantly trying to get in touch with Mr. McDaniel, but I never did. Then I received a telegram from him dated March 18 stating he had canceled the event. This was just a month before it was to have taken place." _ Dame said he felt the project was a great concept and had a lot of potential, but that no one got a good handle on how it was all going to come together. McDaniel wrote in a letter to Fredericks in February that the tournament would be a history making event, and that with a new Coliseum facility in the city of leg endary basketball coach "Big house" Gaines, that it was the "per fect situation." But according to Gainevtherc were a lot of things about McDaniel's proposal that were for from perfect. "They had no spon sors or guarantees in place. 1 think this might have ended up in a bad situation," Gaines said. "The com mission was receptive to Mr. McDaniel's proposal. But there was nothing as far I could see that was concrete at that tune." However, Summa Martin, administrative director for the B.C.B.C., said in an interview late -Wednesday that the change in loca tion for the tournament was made primarily because the tournament organizers felt it was in their best interest to move to the Charlotte area. "The time factor was a prob lem. We just needed a littlemore time than the original date we had set up with Winston-Salem. Pius we decided it would be in our advantage to bring the tournament to an area where we knew the! pfeo ple and could get the kindfof support we needed," Martin saidS She said she did not un<$er ? stand why city officials were hav ing trouble getting in touch with B.C.B.C. organizers. "Wc wcrO in constant contact with pcopld' in Winston-Salem," she said. "1 just think there was some miscommiini cation with folks there and notiall . of the information was getting out." 4.93 F* A, Your Choice. Hanes A retaining cottcm^Men's sizes. 5.93 B. Your Choice.
