The Road Forward New leadership team vows to work to make Winston Lake Y better; stronger 7] BY LAYLA GARMS - THE CHRONICLE Burlington native Terry Smith has assumed the branch director post at the Winston Lake Family YMCA. The Winston-Salem State University alumna has worked for the YMCA for nearly 20 years, beginning as a camp I counselor at the Central (now known as William G. White) YMCA when she was in college. Though she had planned to become a visual artist, Matthews said her priorities quickly shifted after taking the position at the Y. "Every day when I come to work, I have the opportunity to help people," she said. "Since I was a little girl, I have vol unteered ... and at the Y each day when " I come to work. I have that opportunity I to change someone's life." Matthews finished her degree but stayed on with the Y, gradually moving up the ranks to become operations director at Sally's Y in the YMCA of Greater Charlotte network, where she served for two and a half years prior to returning to the Twin City. The mother of one said she applied for the position at Winston Lake because she was looking for new opportunities to serve within the organization where she has spent her career.

Leaders say candidate's corruption allegations are all make-believe BY LAYLA GARMS THE CHRONICLE Democratic mayoral candidate Gardenia Henley is accusing some local church leaders of being bought and paid for by her primary election challenger - Mayor Allen Joines. She released the latest of her "Henley Reports" last week. Subtitled, "Abuse of Power by Church and State." the report alleges "unethical con duct commit- r ted by various elected offi cials and some religious lead ers." "This is something that has been pn my mind and L my heart since I was a little girl, noticing I the mix of I church and I state," Henley I said in an inter- I view with The | Chronicle on | Monday. "It I needed to be I said." ? In the report, the Henley Joints | sixth she has released over the years to point out what she sees as govern mental comiption, she states some religious leaders in the city "have benefited from the personal use of our tax dollars, some in the form of forgiven debts." Henley goes on to say that "a few religious leaders have stated to my campaign mem bers and myself, that financially, 'the mayor has helped them out,' yet for some, the money has never reached their church." Henley, a Democrat who ran for North -Carolina governor in 2012 and the North Carolina House of Representatives against then-Rep. Ear line Parmon in 2010, declined to provide specific examples of her allegations, saying that she is still investigating the issue. Joines, who has been mayor since 2001, said Henley's claims are unfounded. For years. Joines says he has donated his mayoral salary to various organizations citywide, including churches, but asserted that 'the money is used to serve the Winston-Salem community, not secure a vote in his favor. "I can ensure that the money went to the best interests of the churches and the community." he said. Henley also criticized the mayor for his political career, saying it is in direct conflict with his position as See Report on A2 ET ^ ^ P 2 > - fc ? I" 8 ? 2 ?
