'Up From the Ashes'
: ' u.. *
Terrorist attacks unite locals in prayer; outreach
BYT. KEVIN WALKER
THE CHRONICLE
Red. while and blue were the
unanimous colors of choice of
downtown city workers lasl Fri
day as they gathered outside of
R.J. Reynolds on Main Street to
take comfort in one another and to
pray for their countrymen and
countrywomen hundreds of miles
away.
The crowd grew to hundreds
during the lunchtime ceremony.
Many found solace in the words
of songs such as "Amu/ing
Grace" and the spiritual tone of
the ceremony, one of many held
across the country Friday to honor
those who died in terrorist attacks
in Washington and New York
City.
"I felt like it has happened
here because it's family. It may
not be my family but it's some
body's family." said Claudette
Gethers-Boyd. a local woman
who attended one of the 'area
church services last week. "I am
in sympathy with the families, the
president and leaders all over the
world .I think praying always
helps."
Like big cities and small
towns throughout the United
Stales. Winston-Salem has not sat
hack idly during the last week.

Local branches of the Ameri
can Red Cross are still trying to
cope with the massive response to
a request for blood donations to
help the injured. Locals also have
opened their wallets to help,
according to Red Cross officials.
Several agencies and area church
es also have hegun collection
drives for supplies needed by the
targeted areas. Materials such as
steel-toed boots, eye drops and
bottled water are greatly needed.
Kerwin Baptist Church is trying to
till an 18-wheeler trailer outside of
its Kemersville building within
the next two weeks so that the
supplies can be driven north.
Forsyth React, a county
agency, also is trying to fill an 18
wheeler with supplies.
"A lot of people have been
bringing supplies with tears in
their eyes." one member of
Forsyth React said. "They are say
ing that they wish they could (do)
more"
While organizations are
springing up daily, claiming to
help victims of the attack, the Bet
ter Business Bureau is urgjflg
local residents to be cautious of
the groups they contribute to.
Some of the appeals may be
fraudulent, the group says.

Parents can help kids cope with attacks
BY PAUL COLLINS
THE CHRONICLE q ?
How should parents talk with their children about
the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, which apparently killed
thousands of Americans, and about the possibility that
the United States may go to war?
Andy Hagler. executive director of the Mental
Health Association in Forsyth County, said it's impor
tant for parents to remember that children, from pre
school children on up to adolescents, have little or no
experience to help them deal with their current feel
ings about the disaster or to put things into perspec
tive. "Children ... are going to sense tension and anx
iety in adults around them." Hagler said. "Like adults,
they are going to have the same feelings any disaster
brings about."
For a lot of children, the Sept. 11 disaster will be
"the end of their innocence." Hagler said. "As adults,
some of us can think back to 'the end of our inno
cence. " For some, it was the Japanese attack on Pearl
Harbor. For others it was the Cuban Missile Crisis
and the threat of nuclear war. or the Vietnam War and
the assassinations of Robert Kennedy and Martin
Luther King Jr.. or the Challenger explosion. More
recently, the Colombine shootings brought "the end
of innocence" for some people, Hagler said.
