Leading Expert in Crafts to Host Demonstrations Special to the Chronicle Most reasonable people would no sooner consider installing exorbitant mahogany paneling for the whole study or Italian marble for the fireplace than they would fly through the air. That's why the new movement in the aficient art of decorative painting has become the do-it-yourselfer's dream come true. In just a few days of profes sional lessons, home craft aficionados can create startling finishes that mimic marble, wood, granite and leather - ? at only a fraction-of the cost of the real thing. ' "With patience and the right mate rials, almost anyone can breathe new life into a space with decorative paint ing techniques," says Rodney Rodriguez, one oC the Onited States' leading experts in the craft, who will hands on instruction to the public at Lowe's stores in Winston-Salem, April' 1-10. . Founder of the Architectural Art Center in Berkeley, California ? his own teaching studio ? _ Rodriguez has some of the finest training in the world in faux finishing. ? Martha Jo Campbell: The Force Behind the Workforce from page A 1 career but refuses to reveal her age. Three years after being born in Indianapolis, Campbell and her par ents moved to Winston-Salem. She graduated from Atkins High School in 1965, and it was there after a writing assignment, she said, that she "became intrigued with the whole area of behavioral sciences." Her sister was also majoring in sociology at' the time, but it was hearing the missionary experiences of nuns that she credits with plant ing the seed of helping people. After finishing the University of North Carolina at Greensboro with a degree in sociology, she started working for the Model Cities Program in Winstorj-Salem. She then worked with several social-ser vices programs under the Model Cities umbrella. She was charged with coming up with "strategies that would address the needs of low income" peopled ? Her job was to "ensure that people wouldn't take two steps backwards while trying to move for ward." she said. The Model Cities program gave S. ev her a "pretty good foundation," she said, because she learned the poli tics of getting grants. She also began to experience for the first time what it was like helping people. For two years, she was director of a child-care organization. She then moved into a position with the city's Human Services Department, which' allowed her To work with senior citizens. She was responsible for implementing TOTE, $ trans portation program for the elderly. She worked with several more programs before a friend, who she had worked with in Winston-Salem, asked her to come to Raleigh and help launch an employment oppor tunity pilot program targeted to AFDC recipients in Durham County. "I can truly say I saw positive things happen . . . which spurred me on," she said. * ? She said that when Ronaldltea gan became president in 1980, the funds for the program dried up. But she didn't leave Raleigh because she was offered another job in the state personnel's office. There, she was in charge of setting up affirmative action programs for other state agencies. I In 1985, a position opened in Human Services in Winston-Salem apd she found herself accepting the offer and returning home. M1 want this department," she said, "to be viewed as a very effec tive vehicle for . . . (fulfilling) The needs of the workforce in the com-" munity." She said she would "like the individual to feel they have been provided quality services." 1 y . .

Russell Construction^ which ? . serves metropolitan Atlanta and the Southeast, has extensive experience in constructing and renovating. Among the more impressive pro jects in its portfolio are the Georgia " Dome, a concourse of Atlanta's ? _ Hartsfield International Airports Peachtree Tower, Graves Hall at Morehouse College and Atlanta's City Hall complex. The company's project list also includes major facilities for a vari ety of clients, among them are For tune 500 firms, governmental agen cies, public utilities, leading colleges and universities and private developers. The block where the bank's new " headquarters' is being built is bounded by First and Second streets _ and Liberty and Main streets. Tha 600,000 gross-square-foot building will rise 460 feet above street level. The building's exterior will consist of honed granite and glass with stainless-steel accents. The design architect is Cesar Pelli & Associates Inc. of New Haven, Conn. The engineers and their support staff work out of trailers planted on the south side of the block.- Twenty five-year-old Jacques M. Edwards, a Russell office engineer, is one of those who re-located here to help oversee the project. From his office window Monday morning loomed the tower crane and the bright red soil of the deep hole dug to support the foundation of the $70 million structure. Glenn said that the main job of those in the office is to make sure that those in the field have what is needed to go "100 percent full blast." Besides materials, the office staff is responsible for hiring the large number of sub-contractors who will be needed to complete the project. Glenn estimated that 300 to 400 workers, from the skilled to the unskilled, will be involved in com pleting the project. He said that those hired through sub-contractors will have to pass drug tests, and the sub-contractors themselves; will have to comply with equal opportu nity standards. _ . ^ "We're trying to maximize minority participation throughout," said Mark Hornbuckle, the project manager and a Holder employee: "A lot of people think we're bringing a lot of people from Atlanta ? that's not true," Horn buckle said. Hornbuckle said that the two construction companies will utilize only about 10 employees from their Atlanta offices. Monday morning, the tower crane had not been completely erected because of the weather and be cause" Ft had riot dried from a recent painting. The crane is as vital to the construction of a high-rise as is the foundation, so the engineers admitted much won't get done until the crane is completed. The project will require two. and soon after-the first one goes up, the next one will follow. "You will see a lot going or) in the next few months," Glenn said. Holder. Construction Co. is the major managing partner in the joint venture. J Holder and Russell have partic ipated in joint- ventures since 1974. - - ? '"rc1frtT|<A T .

Edwards are in town to help manage the construction of Wachovia Corporation's new headquarters. School Board Members from Pa?e A1 said. "If you're asking if I'm in favor of Kimberly Park and Ashley being community schools, yes." Wooten said the board will vote on a survey for parents at its meeting Tuesday night to get input on the redisricting plans, but she said hopes the survey will show the concerns of the black community. "If the survey is not designed to be flexible then it coQttfalso pro duce skewed results," she said. -"I would like to have a fix on the black community's reaction to the two concepts. Then we have a whole new ball game." Marshall said the survey should not divert attention from the fact that black students seem to become less productive after the third grade. . . "The survey is not an issue. Everybody has had enough time (to give input)," Marshall said. "The critical issue is the longer black , kids stay in school the further they fall behind. If redistricting doesn't solve that, we're not doing anything." Nancy Wooten Geneva Brown Walter Marshall Lift Academy Gets Funding, More Teachers- ? from page A1 salaries for the current teacher, and for the additional one that the city /county school system will pay for. LIFT's latest funding was from several local companies, including Wachovia Corp., R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co., Integon Insurance Co., Southern National Bank and Duke Power Co. Parmon said the school also received grants from the Winston Salem Foundation and the Kate B. Reynolds Foundation. The new teacher, who started in January, is paid through a SAFE school grant from the state. Frank Gordon, director of aux iliary services for the city/county school system, said that the local school system administers the $49,000 that has been allotted for the teacher's salary fori 8 months. Gordon said the funds come from Gov. Jim Hunt's crime pack age, a focus of which is to "identify high-management youth" at the ear liest stage possible. Parmon credited Floyd Davis, executive director of the United Way* with working to bail LIFT out of its financial straits. "My interest, my motivation is geared to the fact that if there is not a program to intervene, to work with these young, people . . . then they end up being a client of the criminal justice system," Davis said. "(They) become very costly to soci ety." Davis said that helping LIFT was just another part of his job. '"We view that our responsibil ity is to generate as much resources as possible for our agencies . . . This certainly falls into that category." Floyd Davis
