Trin-i-tee 5:7 One-on-One from puftc B2 getting older. I think my experi ence has kept me playing at this level. It's definitely not my ath leticism of speed. It's the intelli gence and knowledge that I have of the game. Anthony: Did you ever imagine that your future would be so bright when you were this young bailer at Dobbins Techni cal High School? Dawn: I really didn't. I just take every day for what it is. I try to do the best that I can do. That's w hat I' ve done. I didn' t plan to do all these things. I had a desire to do them. I'm just glad that I had an outlet to play. Anthony: Let's switch this up a little bit. What do you like to do when you're not hooping? ? Dawn: Nothing. I like not doing anything. (Both laugh.) Anthony: OK If you weren't a college coach or a professional athlete, what would you be? Dawn: To be honest with you, I don't know. I've always wanted to do something relating to sports. I don't know what I would've been if it weren't for sports. Anthony: Who's your favorite teammate? Dawn: I don't really have one. 1 like everyone. But me and "Stint" (Andrea Stinson) are real close. We go way back. We got here together. Anthony: Who s the best player in this league, or who's the toughest player for you to guard? Dawn: It would probably be Shannon Johnson. She's quick and very energetic. And she can do a lot of things. Yeah, she's probably the most difficult. Anthony: With you being a college coach you get to see a lot of the newer talent. Would you say that the players of today are better than you all were? Dawn: I think they're more athletic. I do think that. We were more fundamentally sound. There's a shortcoming in all the eras; though. I think girls play today and try to make it to the WNBA. When J was coming up, we played so that we could make it to college. It's a lot easier for these kids to get better because they have a lot more to shoot for. We played for the love of the game. And players are getting money to play now. whereas we didn't see any dollar signs. Anthony: Exactly. What are your thoughts on this Kobe Bryant stuff? Dawn: I think that when you're in the public eye things can happen. Whether you're guilty or not. people are going to walk away with a different per spective of you. And that's the way it is. You really can't put yourself in situations like that. 1 don't know what really hap pened. All I know is that he was there. If he weren't there, it wouldn't have happened. Anthony: (Both laugh.) I guess not. (Pause.) If you could meet anyone, who would it be? Dawn: 1 would've loved to meet Princess Diana. Anthony: Why? Dawn: 1 thought she had a good heart. She had a spot in her heart for the impoverished. I think we had similar interests. I ? thought she had an overall good heart. Anthony: Let's conclude with free association. I imagine ' you know what that is? Dawn: (Giggles.) Sure. Anthony: Martin Lawrence (co-star of "Bad Boys II"). Dawn: (Laughs.) Funny. Anthony: "Stint" (Andrea Stinson). Dawn: The female Michael Jordan. Antnony: superstition. Dawn: (Giggles.) Um, 1 would say me. I'm superstitious. Anthony: (Laughs.) Three time Kodak Ail-American. Dawn: I got to say me, because I'm only person I know that's a three-time Kodak All American. Anthony: {Both laugh.) Tell me about the Dawn Staley Foun dation. Dawn: Basically, I formed a foundation after I received my first gold medal in '96. 1 wanted some little girl who grew up in the inner city to feel how I was feeling. The'best way for me to do that was to work with them on a daily basis. We want to touch as many young lives as we can through the foundation. Anthony : That sounds good, Dawn. One final question: Is this the year the Sting return to the WNBA Finals? Dawn: What you can do is postdate your column to the day after we win the title. You can do that today. OK ? Anthony: OK. (Both giggle.) Thanks, Dawn. Dawn: You too. Take care. Williams from pa fie Bl n the East Coast. Williams was in town for the opening of his mother's new store. "With mO son's help and . support. I was able to start my pwn business here." Karen Duncan said. "He's extremely proud of me. It's always been my desire to help him have a better life. And for him to reciprocate and help me do something I've wanted to do my entire life is very special." Duncan, with the help of Roland, opened up the first store of its kind in Winston Salem. It's called the Baby Milk Store, and it's located at 2936 Old Greensboro Road. The store will provide WIC approved food items, a com munity resource room and occasional words of encour agement fropi women who have survived hard times. "I came up with the store because I'm interested in helping young women handle stressful situations and times." Duncan said. "Helping mothers has always been a concern for me. This is all about providing a friendly and positive atmosphere. I under stand what many of the young mothers are going through. "I was a single, teenage mother. Through God and positive people, I overcamp the challenges. 1 had food stamps, and it wasn't fun. Food stamps helped me pro vide the best nutrition for my son while I finished high school, got a job and took care of us. I needed help and I got it." Even though Duncan and Roland were faced with many obstacles in life, she found a way to stay focused on her goal of making a better life for the two of them. "I have been blessed throughout my life," Williams said. "Whenever you think things are going bad for you, just remember that someone else may have it worse." The store is said to be a "one-stop WIC shop." It will carry infant formula and national brands of cheese, cereal, juice and more WIC products. WIC is available to pregnant, breast feeding and postpartum women. The prod ucts should be used with infants and children up to 5 years old.

Many of his family members live in the FayeWeville area now. Williams attended (Syracuse University, before being draft ed by the St. Louis Rams in 1998. He joined the Raiders in 2002, and recorded the longest reception for a score, despite having Jerry Rice and Tim Brown on the same offense.

The National Black Theater Festival Youth/Celeb'ffty Project also will kick off at First Friday and feature the dynamic African dance troupe Otesha Creative Arts Ensemble. The platinum-selling trio - made up of Chanelle Haynes, Angel Taylor and Adrian Ander son - recently released its third CD, "The Kiss." The critically acclaimed disc features the irre sistible dance track "Holla." The song carries a message of the strength and resilience that the Holy Spirit provides. Members of the group said that the track's driving beat is part of its message. "For me, living for God is a party," Haynes said. "It's exciting because God is always surprising ore with beautiful people, things and opportunities. It's a song to be danced to in celebration of Hint." Haynes said that "The Kiss" showcases the talents of all the women. "On 'The Kiss,' we each wrote, did the vocal arrangements and co-produced one song, and we all did one together." she said. "There's a personal ingredierlt this time that allows each of us to step out on our own a bit.' The CD's title track, "With a Kiss," passionately tells the story of Judas lscariot's betrayal of Christ. "I was immediately drawn to that song because of the lesson it has to impart." Anderson said. "Jesus knew the character of Judas, but He also knew that he had to do what he had o do. It's crucial in our lives to know the real character of all the people who surround us." The CD also draws from clas sic soul music. The trio sings Cur tis Mayfield's "People Get Ready." The song is layered with lavish hannonies and vocal inter plays, then breaks into a hip-hop coda that has become Trin-i-tee 5:7's trademark. In addition to their music, the women have expanded their min istry to include agencies that pro vide clothing, food and tutoring to children. "God has filled us with bless ing....We feel an overwhelming need to pour some of that back," Haynes said. "We want to leave a legacy not only for our music and ministry, but for being three Christians who cared about peo ple and their lives."
