from fat* M~
Thanksgiving Day. In an
extraordinary measure
demonstrating the col
lege's desire to be good
public stewards, two peo
ple will win tuition-free
enrollment in
Livingstone's one-year
culinary arts certificate
program, with the prom
ise of a job at an area
restaurant or hotel with
which the college is affil
iated after completion of
the one-year program.
When President
Jenkins envisioned the
Thanksgiving
Extravaganza, he thought
of the adage, "Give a man
a fish and feed him for a
day. Teach a man to fish
and feed him for a life
time."
"It's commonplace for
institutions of higher
learning, businesses,
groups, organizations and
even individuals to pro
vide Thanksgiving meals
for people this time of the
year, but in addition to
that, we're offering two
people the chance to
enroll in our culinary arts
certificate program and to
ultimately obtain employ
ment at an area restaurant
or hotel," President
Jenkins said.
Recipients of the
tuition-free enrollment
into the college's one
year culinary arts certifi
cate program will be cho
sen from applicants who
submit essays detailing
what the scholarship will
mean for them and their
families. The names of
the guests who will attend
the college's
Thanksgiving
Extravaganza are being
provided by the Rowan
County Department of
Social Services, with
which Livingstone is col
laborating.
Vivian Ray, who runs
Livingstone's Hospitality
Management and
Culinary Arts program,
said she's excited about
the Thanksgiving
Extravaganza because it
will afford Livingstone
students enrolled in the
program the chance to
showcase their culinary
skills wnite simultaneous
ly providing the public
with an understanding of
the program the college
now offers.
Through the
Hospitality Management
and Culinary Arts
Program, which has been
approved by the Southern
Association of Colleges
and Schools, students can
earn a bachelor of science
degree in hospitality man
agement, an associate
degree in culinary arts or
certificates in culinary
arts, event planning or
lodging operations.

Creative events such as
the "1 Voted Before It Was

event and "Wish You Were

the polls on Election Day
also helped to build buzz
on campus and reach thou

"The best people to
urge a young person to the
poll is another young per

will pay attention to you."

make a much needed get
away on the Sundays
when she doesn't have
anywhere she has to be.
While riding home from
work on Monday after
noon, Jones said she and
several other patrons were
discussing the merits of
Sunday service.
"About six or seven of
us were talking about it
on the bus," she related.
"We were just talking
about how they should
have Sunday service to go
to church or to go back
and forth to work.
Especially when they
have events downtown
people would love, but
who wants to be walk
ing?"
Jones said she was
pleased to hear that the
prospect of Sunday serv
ice was still on the table,
but she wasn't holding
her breath.
"We've done heard it
so many times before,"
she declared. "I'm just
praying and waiting to
see what happens."
Joines believes that
implementing Sunday
service could help pave
the way for the city's
much-talked about Urban
Circulator project. Still in
its preliminary stages, the
project would use an
enhanced bus system with
physical and technologi
cal upgrades or a modem
streetcar in concentrated
I
areas of the city.
The project took form
after a study was conduct
ed in 2006, said City
County Planning Director
Paul Norby. The city is
seeking public input on
the idea on its web site,
http://www.ci. winston
salem.nc.us. Norby said
that if city leaders decid
ed to pursue the project, it
would not come to
fruition for another five to
seven years.
If implemented, the
Urban Circulator would
work in concert with the
existing bus system, not
replace it, and could
inspire other projects
within the city, he
explained.
"It's meant to do two
things: it's meant to spur
economic development
and it's also meant to
move people in between
destinations, but it cer
tainly won't be the only
1
answer in terms of urban
transportation," Norby
said.
While the streetcars
may be in the city's
future, for now, city buses
remain the only viable
public transportation
option, and Besse says
it's high time they ran on
a full-week schedule. He
added that he hopes to
have Sunday service in
place in the first half of
2013.
"I'm going to press
for a start of actual
Sunday service early next
year, sometime before
spring. We're either going
to see that or somebody's
at least going to have to
explain to me why it can't
be done," he said. "It's a
good time to raise that
question. The statistics
are very clear: public
transportation is on the
rise and has been for
awhile."
