This organization is made up of Crimestoppers coor dinators and board members Ifrom Delaware to Florida. Kent's contributions to the Winston Salem Crimestoppers program were recognized at a banquet in Charleston, S.C., aboard the air craft carrier "Yorktown". "One of our priorities at NewsChannel 12 is community service, and our contribution to Crimestoppers is one of the best ways to accomplish that. By using our broadcast time to help local police track down crimi nals," we're making our city a better place to live, and we can all be proud of that. Crimestop Cameron Kent pers works, and we hope we can help it work even better in the future," said Kent. NewsChannel 12's station manager, Michael Pulitzer, said, "We're thrilled with the success of our Crimestoppers program and that the Southeastern Crimestoppers Association would take the opportunity to recognize excellence. I congratu late Cameron Kent, everyone ?t NewsChannek 12, and the local Crimestoppers group, including Detective Ray Shields and the Winston-Salem Police Depart ment that helped make this a suc cess." Detective Ray Shields of the Winston Salem Police Depart ment said, "NewsChannel 12 has been actively involved with Crimestoppers since the opera tion began in 1981. We're particularly proud of the crime stories with Cameron Kent, and being able to reach people that we haven't in the past. NewsChannel 12 has shown us more dedication than any others /ation." Kent said he was grateful to I the production crew at I NewsChannel 12 that helps him ' produce Crimestoppers: Ken ^ Craven, Nathan Bragg, and Randy Hight. "I couldn't do it without those gentlemen," he ? said. i i | RHC stan proposal seeks new from page 1 and over 60 residents to work at the health center, and the majority of patients at Reynolds are - attended by residents. "We want to change that so Reynolds Health Center is more like a pri vate practice," said Magovern. The advisory committee plans to use half of the money paid each year to Bowman Gray staff to hire more physicians and physi cian assistants, and reduce the number of support staff. Some in the audience were skeptical of this approach, which allots $800,000 a year for the new staff. "You are definitely not going to recruit physicians for that kind of money," said a nurse from Reynolds, while her col leges complained that the facility is already understaffed. Others raised concerns that Bowman Gray may not agree to the reduction of students, and pull residents from the program alto gether. "My physicians don't practice at Reynolds Health Cen ter because of financial gain," said Dr. Ramon Velez, medical director at Reynolds. "They prac tice there because they love their profession." Doctors from Baptist Hospi tal's partner. Bowman Gray School of Medicine, have com pleted residencies at Reynolds Health Center for the past 22 years. "We will be here as long as the community wants us," Baptist Hospital's chief of operations, Gerald Finley, assured the audi ence. Bill Tatum, chairman of the Reynolds advisory committee, said he wanted a partnership between the East Winston facility and Bowman Gray to continue, but with some changes made. "Yes, the medical center has been there ... [but] there's not been that communication," said Tatum. When Finley presented the medical center's proposal the week before, many participants cautioned the community to look to the past. In 1959, African-American voters were promised a new hos pital if they supported a bond ref erendum. Reynolds Memorial Hospital was converted to a health center in 1972, just two years after it opened. Though many still ques tioned the medical center's com mitment to East Winston, response in favor of Baptist Hos pital's proposal seemed equally strong. "I just think we always wait a little too late," said the Rev. Lee Fay Mack. "It's late in the evening and we've got to be in the business of taking care of people." "I don't want to look back on nothing, because if 1 look back, I'll have a heart attack," Mack later replied to those voicing fear.
