Arts Council Plans Exciting Events For 1993
As we enter into a new year, we
all look toward "better" days. It is
only human nature to have great
expectations for the days ahead and
see a year full of promise. The Arts
Council hopes to fulfill some of
those holiday wishes of great tima
by presenting Winston-Salem adb
? Forsyth County with an exciting
line-up of arts events and activities
in 1993. I
For the past two years, the Arts
Council has presented "The All-Star
Jazz Jam," a concert that brought
together some of the finest jazz
musicians in the area to play on the
Stevens Center stage in' Winston
Salem. Showcasing the wonderful
.variety of jazz styles and talent in
the Triad, the evening offered a
"who's who" of regional jazz per
formers.
This year we, once again,
proudly present this special concert.
The Triad All Star Jazz Jam is
scheduled for Saturday, April 10, at
8 p.m. and will be held in the
Stevens Center.
This concert brings together
musicians from a wide variety of
backgrounds that also represent the
great diversity of styles and musical
traditions found in jazz. The Jazz
Jam concert will highlight the tal
ents of Galvin Crisp, Herbert
Stephens, Charlie Culbreath, Melva
Houston, Ron Rudkin, Janice Price,
Jim Houlik, Gregg Hyslop, Matt
Kendrick, Steve Kirkman, Ervin
Stowe, Keith Byrd and Frederick
Pivetta.
In presenting this concert, our
goal is to make jazz events of this
kind available and accessible to
everyone and hopefully educate the
community to one of this region's
greatest treasures ? its "home
grown" jazz musicians.
The All-Star Jazz Jam allows
the Arts Council to reach this goal
in a spectacular way ? and at the
same time celebrate the musical
form bom out of the African-Ameri
can experience. Jazz was born and
bred in the heritage and rhythms of
African-American life in the South.
And so jazz is ah art form that wc,
as African-Americans, can claim as
our own.
As a community,' it is through
our art, especially the performing
and literary arts, that we find the
means, to comi|jfa^cate the ideas of
our collective experience. Just as the
notes of Scott Joplin or the voice of
Billie Holiday expressed their

How To Make Yourself Happier In The New Year
This is the second in our series
of eight important columns. Use this
advice to make your life nice.
5. Create Small Successes:
(Don't plan only for big successes.)
Prepare a plan for your life covering
the next ten years; Then prepare a
plan for tomorrow; Plan to do some
thing that you know will give you
success; The idea is for you to get
used to succeeding, so that your
motivation will build and build each
day until you finally achieved the
big success that you want for your
self. The point is to never, ever
allow yourself to anticipate failure
because, if you do, you will not be
as assertive as you should. So, keep
trying until you succeed, in spite of
failures.
Here is an example of small
success: Plan to write a poem
tomorrow; Now, write* it; Plan to
write letters to your two best friends
today; When you complete these
tasks, you will have a feeling of
accomplishment .
6. Control Your Emotions:
(Don't makQ decisions while you
are angry or upset; If you are angry,
keep your mouth shut! You might
say something that you will regret
and that you can't change; After you
have cooled down, you will think
more rationally. Also, don't blame
other people for making you angry.
Your anger is your responsibility so,
control it.
7. Lean On Others When Nec
essary: (Don't try to be an expert on
everything.) You know a lot about
life, but, let's face it, nobody knows
everything. If you need expert
advice, get if from an expert. You'll
be glad you did.
8. Use your own judgment
about things: (Don't depend on the
wrong people for the right answers.)
You are one of the most intelligent
people you will ever know; Don't
be tricked into depending upon the
advice of someone who is not as
intelligent as you; Many people
who may say that they know every
thing do not have the ability to back
up. these exaggerated claims.
Depend on you!
your goals must have a plan that is
logical and that will lead you to suc
cess. People without plans are often
without. success. Your plan should
tell you in detail what to do-step by
step.
P.S. Don't waste your time
COPING
By CHARLES FAULKNER
9. Work Out a logical, orga
nized plan for your life: (Don't be
guided by a piece-meal plan that
you put together a day at a time.)
You should know now what you
want to achieve in ten years. You
should have an idea of what you
want to achieve tomorrow. Each of
preparing a plan if you are not cer
tain that you will follow it com
pletely. If you can't put the plan
together by yourself, get someone to
help you. But get that plan together
as soon as possible.

Money Available For Improving Neighborhoods
The Forsyth County Neighbor
hood Funding Committee is now
accepting proposals from residents
groups who wish to benefit from the
Neighborhood Fund. The goal is to
help residents of public and private
housing communities improve the
quality of life in their neighbor
hoods.
Beginning in 1993, the Neigh
borhood Fund will be an expanded
use of the balance of monies
remaining in the
Fund, originally totalling $217,190,
was created when the United Way
of Forsyth County exceeded in 1989
campaign goal. $152,579 have
already been utilized to bring posi
tive change to the Happy Hills Gar
den Community. A total of $64,61 1
is available through the Neighbor
hood Fund. Because these funds
were allocated by the United Way
of Forsyth County's volunteer
Directors specifically to
empower the residents in local pub
lic and private housing communi
ties, they cannot be used to make up
the shortfall in the 1992 United Way
campaign. Ideas for proposed pro
grams must come from a broad
based group of neighbors; evidence
of support can be demonstrated by
signatures on a letter or petition and
or through attendance at neighbor
hood meetings.
