?Brandon M iller Jackie Miller
Three Toddlers Drown
were pronounced dead.
Davis said that prior to the inci
dent, a group of children had been
swimming in the pool. After they
left, Brandon and Jackie were left
inside the house with Monique and
Avan. They managed to get to the
pool while Monique was watching
television/Davis said. Relatives
couldn't reach Fredrinna Miller
because her phone was off the hook;
Avan had to call a neighbor, who
told her the bad news.
"I told her she must be joking,"
she said. "I started out the back
door and lost everything I had on
hurrying out."
Fredrinna said Jackie appeared
last Thursday night in a dream.
"Seems like she was trying to
tell me something. She couldn't talk
yet, but it seems like she was trying
to tell me to love Monique," she
said.

Earl Davis, the grandfather of
the boy that drowned three days
later, said he was living a "night
mare.'' "I only wish it was a dream,"
he said.
His wife, Devora, told him that
she and two friends were on the
patio in the backyard while a 3
year-old grandson and Tyrecee
played near the above-ground pool.
Moments later, Devora looked and
saw the child floating in the pool.

The violence that exploded
when 50 to 100 people were party -
? ing at a"drink house" ? a rented
dwelling at the end of the street that
dead-ends at U.S. 52 where week
end drinking and loud music are a
regular occurrence ? has aston
ished and saddened members of the
? community.
"I think it's awful; something
needs to be done about it. They just
started returning during the last two
? months, but it has never been this
bad," said another neighbor.
Although she was frightened
by Sunday's killings, 67-year-old
Izora T; Glenn said it's too late for
her to move to safer surroundings
She said she has lived there for 33
years.

"We are a church-going com
munity anb this.*
They 're no* our age group and are
not ouf type of people," she said,
referring to the young party. "There
were just droves of them running
down the street I thought, wouldn't
it have been wonderful if they were
coming from church instead of from
a place that caused two people 10
lose their lives. That's sad."
At the Samuels' household, a
different kind of sadness has
invaded the lives^ of the close-knit
family.-Steven Samuels, affection
ately known as "Steve," was the
youngest of three boys and one girl.
Those closest to him still cannot
believe that their little brother is
dead.
"I don't really know what hap
pened. It's just mad.. The police
haven't told us anything," said his
cousin, Alonzo Tart, 21. "We were
like brothers. I still can t believe it
happened."
sister-in-law: "My first thought is
that I hope the guys who did it are
punished. He was easy-going and
devoted to his son."
The Samuels clan has a large
number of cousins, uncles and aunts
who live in Winston-Salem and
neighboring cities. The family does
?not distinguish between its mem
bers, who act as sisters and broth
ers. There is a consensus that
Stephen, a brother to them all, will
-be -greatly missed,
"When they called, it was 4Oh
no, not Steve,' " said Michael K.
Howell, Steven's uncle. "If they
knew who they killed, they would
be very sorry."
"1 still have a ways to go," said
Ethel Samuels, Stephen's mother.
"I feel numb like I have nothing
inside. My body won't move with
me anymore."
, V Steven, a 1989 graduate of Mt.
- TaborHigh School , played football
and basketball. He built the stylish,
two end tables and coffee table that
sit in the living room at his
mother's home. He occasionally
played the piano in his church. He
decided not to follow the path of his
^wo older brothers, who have both
served in the military.
"Steve never liked to follow
orders from anyone but his family.
He was real soft-hearted. He took
his son everywhere with him. All of
my boys are quiet and easy. I have a
lot of love to give. I have been
blessed with sweet children," said
his mother.
'A Wild Shimtinp'
The mood was also somber at
the home of "Tiger" Bitting's
cousin, where family members from
out of town and Winston-Salem
have gathered to grieve the loss of a
the wrong place at the wrong time.
"It was just a wild shooting that
went down," said Gloria Bitting,
- Waddeli^mother, who lives in
Raleigh. "I still don't know what
happened."
Waddell's grandmother, Gwen
dolyn Sorell, who also lives in
Raleigh, said she considered him a
son. While Waddell was living with
her along with his two brothers in
Raleigh, she worked two jobs to put
him and his older brother through
high school.
"My blood pressure went up; I
won't be right for a long time. He
was my favorite grandboy. They
should tear the house down," she
. said, referring to the weekend hang
out that will be forever scarred with
the memory of the two victims.
"He was a good guy,H said
Constance Jacobs, who described
Waddell as a "favorite cousin."
"He didn't carry any g\?ns or
knives,'' shfcfcaid.
For CIStol Young, the young
man's aunt, the incident has been
twice as painful, since she actually,
saw her nephew's dead body at the
scene of the crime.
~trharbeen Holland,' "^he said.
"I was there when they put his body
in the body bag. He had tear stains
on his face like he had been beg
ging for his life."
Waddell's death does not only
affect the lives of his relatives. The
unidentified neighbor who saw the
body of the murdered young man
upon her neighbor's porch also
grieves for the victim of a senseless
killing.
"He was a very nice kid; never
causcd anyone no harm," she said.
"He was a character, fun and nice.
Womble to Run

tarial staff for personal needs.
Wallschleger said it appeared
Womble was more interested in
using his office as a "stepping
stone."
"I ;don't spend my time
responding to stuff like that,"
Womble replied
During the interview at his
home, Womble, 52, pointed in the
direction of neighbors who sur
round him on Salem Lake Road and
emphasised that most of them,
about 55 percent, are white.
They (his constituents) don't
look at me as a black person, but as
an alderman," he said.- "I don't favor
blacks; I favor the issues."
He added: "The Southeast
ward is a microcosm of America.
We have less busing than any other
ward."
Among the accomplishments
he said he is proudest of as an
alderman was his work in separat
ing the functions of the public
safety program. At one time, police
officers were required to respond to
* fires and had to help put them out.
The police disliked the program -
"they had two masters" - and the
"citizens in general were saying
public safety wasn't working,"
Womblc said.
He said he also worked to help
re-establish the neighborhood foot
patrol and was especially elated that
the board recently approved the
allocation of funds to hire 16 new
foot patrol officers. In his ward,
which Womble won by 100 votes
in 1989, he said he is proud of his
work in helping to build the ward's
two new recreation centers and the
new facility housing Forest Park
Elementary School, which he said
the school board wanted to close
until the residents voiced their con
cern. 1 *
Womble said people can
accomplish most anything if they
"band together with a single pur
pose."
Womble said the criticism that
followed the report of using the city
secretary for personal work, includ
ing a letter to President Clinton
seeking (he ambassadorship of
Kenya, will not jeopardize his
chances for re-election. He
shrugged off reports that he was in
the job market as "testing the
waters,"
"There were no other names in
. 4
the hat from Winston-Salem," he
said, referring. to jobs in the Ginton
administration. '"My first and only
obligation is being alderman for the
people of the Southeast ward."
He added: "If something had
materialized, I probably would've
turned it down."
He also said that the letter he
wrote to the All-American city offi
cials - which was blamed for the
denial of the All-American designa
tion - won't hurt his re-election
chanced. *
He said the letter was written
on behalf of the people, and that his
critics are "attacking not me, but
the people." The critics, he said,
arc beginning to realize- that what
he said in the letter was true.
Womble was raised in East
Winston by his grandparents. He
was asked what drives him to be so
active in politics and community
affairs.
"It gives me a sense of making
a contribution," he said. "It gives
me a sense of helping my fellow
human being, of making life better
for everybody, including especially
the down -trodden."
