Board says no to task force request From Page A1 Salem Chamber of Commerce will donate $5,000 and staff assis tance for the study. Pitt also has expressed optimism about the outstanding $15,000 grant request to Z. Smith/Mary Reynolds Foun dation. "For them not to^ allow the $23,000 to go towards implemen tation is a little ludicrous because ;we want to see the study through and the projects become reality," Pitt said. "It doesn't make sense to have a study for the sake of hav ing a study." Henry, who is heading the stu dy group and is the task force's project consultant, said he may be in Winston-Salem Jan. 30 and 31 to survey some land in East Win ston. "The city is now in the pro cess of doing some inventory of vacant parcels with the East Win ston area that they will be provid ing to the consultants and we expect that to be here this week," Henry said during a telephone interview from his office in Mary land. "We will be in the process of evaluating that data and the con sultants will be planning a trip to Winston-Salem Monday and Tuesday to survey those sites." Thomas H. Schram, an eco nomic development coordinator for the city, said Monday that the data Henry requested was ready and would be sent off as soon as possible. Henry said he will gi vi the task force a progress report on the study during the group's Feb. 8 meeting. Afro-Americans attend meeting From Page A1 president of the Miqtatep's Confer cnce. "A cursory .glance at the candidates reveals Dr. Barbara K. Phillips as an outstanding candi date. She has 30 years of experi ence in this system, and an earned doctorate with a dissertation focusing on our educational struc ture. "We believe all of the criteria cited earlier marks her as an exceptional candidate; Atjnr^ point in the process, as your committee searches for a superior candidate with credentials within or outside our county, we invite your careful consideration of Dr. Barbara K.

Citizen asks for Irvin's dismissal From Page A1 guidelines; guarantee to hear pub - lic response to selection. In addition, the mental health board has received recommenda tions in letters from James J2. Yarbrough Jr., the city's deputy planning director, and Kevin FitzGerald, special projects coor dinator for Forsyth County. "Your proposed policy greatly improves the quantity of public notification and involvement," Yarbrough said in the letter dated Jan. 4. "I am concerned, however, afc>ut the perceived quality of the ensuing public interaction. That perception coupled with a general fear of group homes may severely hamper your ability to finalize potential sites." He suggested the board use targeted news releases, newspaper articles, television, news programs and speakers bureaus as mediums to increase public awareness and understanding of the need for group homes. In addition, he suggested developing general guidelines for determining qualified sites and that the board consider lengthen ing the review time between com munity notification and final site selection. FitzGerald's letter of recom mendations were those the com missioners suggested to the com mittee. The committee preparing the policy on group home site selec tion and public notification asked the full area board for more time to examine the suggestions and to draw up another draft of the poli cy. "The committee will get together during the next two to three weeks and hopefully we'll be able to bring a policy statement in draft form next month," Irvin said Black History Month events at UNCG include touring play and Duke Ellington Orchestra GREENSBORO -- A co ncert by the Duke Ellington Orchestra and a performance of a play about black women will be among high : lights of the Black History Month observance during February at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro.
