We pray that God will bless this beginning." Lartey said. "We mink mis is a messing, ana we pray tnat it will con tinue. We pray that even when we are gone, there will always he a WSSU Day at Goler." Lartey offered words of encouragement and power to Martin. "We pray that God bless this new chancellor with the energy and the resources to accomplish the things God has placed in his heart....At WSSU there has been such a renewed energy on that campus since Chancellor Martin came. There seems to be a desire to put students first." Lartey said. "And it is all *u;.. .1 ..." UCV.UUSC UI llll.> CILClllL.ll engineer, this man with a vision, with a drive to make a difference in this commu nity....We thought it befitting to connect with those involved in the genesis of WSSU to have this annual event. We want to bring together the faculty, staff and students to break bread together. We want to be the students' church away from home." Lartey called ( lauuette Jarrett. chairman ot the boiird of trustees at Gojer Memorial, and Virginia Hardest), lay counselor, to present Martin with a check for the SK).(XX) endowment that the Church contributed to WSSU.

Worth the Wait After several years, first phase of HOPE VI project, a seniors complex, will open soon BY T. KEVIN WALKER THE CHRONICLE ? Cora Jarvis has lived in public housing in Kimberly Park for almost four decades. She has seen neighbors change like the seasons and has been an eyewitness to a great metamorphosis in the community caused by social shifts and the process of ever-changing time. She remembers when residents took pride in main taining the grass in their yards and clearing away leaves and snow from porches and walkways. She is fond of that time, a period when neighbors also knew one another and simple greetings and smiles were customary. Jarvis hopes to find that Kimberly Park again when she moves into Azalea Terrace next month. The showy, 100-unit seniors apartment complex, located off Derry Street and Northwest Boulevard, will be the first com pleted project in the new Kimberly Park, a mixed-income housing community that the Housing Authority of Win ston-Salem. in conjunction with the private sector, is par tially funding with a $28 million HOPE VI grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. "I am ready for the change," Jarvis said last week from her old apartment, one of the few in Kimberly Park Terrace that have not been razed as part of the revitaliza tion of the community. "As we live our lives, there should be change. We should never be too satisfied with things staying the same all the time." Boxes are stacked neatly around Jarvis' living room. As she prepares to relocate just a hop, skip and jump down the road, she can't help but to get a little nostalgic. Many of her neighbors, ones that she grew close with dur ing recent years, have been relocated to other communi ties throughout the city to make way for the revitalization. In subsequent phases of the revitalization, various apartment-style dwellings and single-family homes will be constructed where her friends once lived and raised their families. i "It's sad because we are separated now, but it's excit ing because we have hud the opportunity to move on," Jarvis said, "It's been a long road, but we are getting at the end of it now," Jarvis hopes to build new friendships and possibly rekindle old ones at A/alea Terrace. About 50 percent of the units will be reserved for people already living in pub lic housing. Some of those units have been specifically Sn HAWS on A4 J.

KEVIN WALKF.R THE CHRONICLE With their silence, they tried to say a thou sand words - words such as peace, love and resolution, terms that have heen seldom uttered since terrorists attacked the United States Sept. 11 and since the United States launched intense retaliatory strikes against Afghanistan, the Middle Eastern nation that allegedly harbors the mastermind of the ter rorist acts, Osama bin Laden. Students from several colleges joined a diverse group of local residents for a silent march through the streets of dow ntow n Satur day morning that was staged to call for a peaceful end to the current conflict. 'There is another way besides bombing... Of course we don't have all the answers, but there are alternatives. We have to start here in villi 1.1'lllllllllill \ by educating people and mak ing them aware of that." said Glynis Autary Walker, a Wake Forest University graduate student who helped to organize the mareh with other Wake students as a class project. The class had been studying the life and teachings of Mohandas Gandhi before Sept. 11 and had planned a class project relating to nonviolence before the attacks.

Poole, owner of Meta's, said she is not worried about what city officials hope neighboring Fourth Street will become, an alluring stretch of road with resi dential dwellings, shops and restaurants, lots of trendy restau rants. "I think (the Fourth Street revitalization) is a good idea," Poole said. I think it will bring more people downtown....But I am not worried about losing business because 1 feel people can go anywhere and get a steak and a potato. We serve authentic Southern cuisine here. We still chop greens and we still roll our own cobbler. We have a flavor that is different from what every Sri Downtown on A9 Wiley Diggs parents upset BY FELECIA P.
