Mural Painting to Go on Wall of Happy Hill Store ? Painting to enhance image of former drug haven By DAVID L. DILLARD f Chronicle Staff Writer The Happy Hill Gardens com munity, known for transforming Happy Hill Garden Mart from a dnig haven into a community store, and the Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art (SECCA) will bring residents of all agesi together again under a project called OPTIONS II, where they will paint _ a mural at the store. _ Eight preliminary workshops are being held at the William C. Sims Center to orientate the resi dents to the arts and how to paint the mural that is created to address sub stance abuse. Ben Piggott, director of the center, said the mural will be a valuable learning experience for the kids in Happy Hill. "These workshops bring about an enormous awareness of arts, cul ture and dance for both the child and the adult." said Piggott. "This (mural) gives them an introduction. After that other resources can come into the community." - Piggow said he hopes the beau tification of Happy Hill Gardens and its location ? the community is sur rounded by Winston-Salem State University, Salem College and N. C. School of the Arts ? will attract more businesses into the area. Alice Burton, SECCA educa tion coordinator, said African American artist Juan Logan will be in residence at Happy. Hill in June. Burton said Logan will oversee the design and painting of the mural, and local artist Vandorn Hinnant and poet Logie Meachum will make presentations at the workshops. SECCA's Options I program, whteh- look place during summer 1991, featured African-American artist A1 Carter working with youths to paint the mural on the corner of Fifth and Cherry streets. Piggott said this mural is spe cial to the residents because they played a role in its development, and it's located inside their community. "Not only is the painting a land mark, but the kids can see this pro ject as a lasting reminder of some thing they did to bring about positive change in their commu nity," he said. Outdoor Summer Activities The spring and summer season mean more outdoor activities. Out door activities often leave spots and stains on garments. On the playing field or off, spring uniforms are magnets for dirt and soil. Most athletic uniforms are made from synthetic fibers^ The care label will give the fiber content and care procedures. Follow these recommendations carefully. Prior to cleaning, test the uni form for colorfastness and sepa rately wash any garment that is not colorfast Otherwise, the color may bleed on other items. Washing on a low temperature will reduce the chance of bleeding. Laundering is the most effec tive method for removing heavy soil from most athletic uniforms. Mud stains and grass stains may require extra treatment using a pretreating product Follow the drying procedure recommended on the care label. If machine drying is recommended, shrinkage and wrinkles can be mini mized by drying the garments on 9, low temperature, removing them as soon as they are dry and immedi ately hanging on a hanger. stains, and heavy soil before wash ing is known as pretreating. This step is important because: ? all spots and stains should be removed before washing *to prevent spft^gtains - ? ? heavily .soiled* particularly greasy soils, cannot be removed just by washing Use pre wash and soaking tech niques to clean heavily soiled gar ments. In addition to stain removal ? - techniques there are two types of pretreatments: soaking and prewash products. Soaking: - Many autom at A washers have a soak cycle. See tn5 manufacturer's directions for soak ing if your washer does not have one. Presoaking products or all purpose detergents that contain enzymes are effective for removing a variety of stains (egg, chocolate, grass, perspiration, wine, dried blood). Use warm water for soaking. Hot water sets stains. Usually a 30 minute soak cycle is adequate to remove stains. For heavy soil or stubborn stains, more time is required. Pre wash Products: Use a heavy duty liquid or spray-type pre wasb product on soiled linens (col lars, cuffs and feet of socks, and small stained areas). For best results, apply these products to dry fabrics. The choice of laundry deter gents to use in laundering is your decision. Soaps should not be used unless your water is very soft (0-3 grains) because soap combines with minerals in water to form "lime curd." These lime or soap curds build up on clothes causing them to become dingy, gray, and greasy feeling. Basically, laundry detergents ? are non -phosphate and phosphate. The difference between the two is fovmd in their cleaning ability and ability to keep soil from redeposit-, ing on clothes. Phosphates give a good cleaning performance and help keep loosened dirt from settling back on the fabric. Non-phosphate detergents react with some fabric dyfcs, resulting in a**ccrtor loss or - "change. These detergents may react with minerals in water to deposit a lint-like residue on clothes and washing machine parts. Regardless of the type of deter gent you choose, read and follow the manufacturer's instructions on how much to use. Most manufac turer's instructions are for washing an "average" load with "average" soil in 16 gallons of water of "aver age" hardness. Do not skimp by using less detergent.
