At Arms Cornell Gwyn listens. BY T. KEVIN WALKER THECHRONK-lf There have many seminal moments in Rodney Webb's life, but two stand out. His union to his wife. Rita, more than 30 years ago is tops; he called his induction last week into the Winston-Salem/Forsyth County High School Sports Hall of Fame "the second best thing that has happened to me." Webb and 12 others make up this year's inductee class. They join the 238 former athletes, coaches, school administrators and boosters already in the Hall, which was established in 1983 by the Winston-Salem Sportsmen Club. "You (have) become part of a very elite group," Sportsmen Club President Robert Wynn told the inductees during their April 3 coming out event at the Gathering Place building at the corner of Sixth and Cherry streets.

Members left in limbo by Y leaders BY LAYLA GARMS THE CHRONICLE Three months after Executive Director Shawan Gabriel left the Winston Lake Family YMCA to take his current post as CEO of Big Brothers Big Sisters, the branch is still without a leader. Curt Hazelbaker. CEO of the YMCA of Northwest North Carolina, told The Chronicle when Gabriel announced his departure in November 2012 that the organization hoped to conduct a national search and have a successor in place by March, but Y officials said Tuesday ' that the position has not even been posted. The delay in filling the branch's top job has caused speculation. Some longtime members see it as an indication that the YMCA of Northwest North Carolina is moving to rid itself of Winston Lake, the network's only predominantly African American Y. "We've been kind of trying to bury the hatchet on this. There's a lot of rumors going around," Vernon McHam, vice chair of the Winston Lake Board of Directors, said during a meeting called by the Y Association Tuesday at Winston Lake. "I think McHam : ?L i Bachman tfte members nere are be re to get spectncs. uur members need to know what's going on, why these things are being put off, put off, put off. We need to be honest with our members here about what's going on and what's going to hap pen." Mark Bachman. the COO of the 16-branch YMCA of Northwest North Carolina, said the selection process for Gabriel's replacement has stalled because the organization is "looking at a variety of options and Opportunities" for the Y to meet the ever-changing needs of the Winston Lake community and live up to its strategic plan's goals in the hiring of the next director. Many of the more than 70 Winston Lake members and volunteers on hand for Tuesday's meeting expressed dissatisfaction with the lack of specifics in Bachman's explanation. Hazeibaker, who officials said was out of town, did not attend the meeting. "I've been here since this Y opened its doors.
