Wayne Patterson BY BUSTA BROWN THE CHRONICLE Let’s go on a journey into S. Wayne Patterson’s world. “Growing up, my father wasn’t there, so what drove me to be suc cessful is that I always wanted to be better than my father, and be there for my kids,” he said. Patterson said before his father passed, they repaired their relation ship. “When I graduated from school, he was very proud of me. He would tell people ‘That’s my son.’” S. Wayne said his father would fre quently express his regret for not being in his life as a child. “I told him I’m good, we can start from here, and that I was there for him.” Mr. S. Wayne Patterson was bom in Winston-Salem, in the Cleveland Projects. He was the youngest of four boys, so family and being a support ive father has always been important in his life. “All of my kids are athletes. My oldest, Wayne U, is a senior at N.C. State. He’s very fast. He’s ran 200 and 400 [meters], he’s an All American, to God be the Glory. The goal is the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo.” After speaking about his son, his smile and spirit brighten the entire room; it was obvious that he’s a proud and loving father. Still smiling bright, he continued talking about his kids, and I enjoyed every second. “My second son, Jarrell, he runs club track, he’s Mr. N.C. State, he’s pre-med. When I think of having two boys at N.C. State, I think ...Wow!” His daughter Alexis runs track for Parkland High school. “She’s the fastest girl in Winston,” he said as he continued to glow with pride, like daddies do when speaking of their lit tle girls. “She’s the fastest in the city and the second fastest in the state,” S. Wayne Patterson said. His youngest was sitting quietly See Journey on<A8 Photo submitted by S. Wayne Patterson S.

And that delay very well may happen. Republican legislative lead ers have vowed to, once again, appeal yet another negative redis tricting ruling they don’t like to the U.S. Supreme Court. “It is a shocking move for one of the same judges just reigned in by a bipartisan U.S. Supreme Court less than 24 hours ago to again attempt to create chaos and confusion in an election process set to begin in just three weeks,” wrote Rep. David Lewis [R-Hamett] and Sen. Ralph Hise [ R-Mitchell], co-chairs of the joint Redistrict Committee, referring to U.S. Fourth Circuit Court Judge James Wynn, who served on both separate three-judge panels that ruled against Republican N.C. redis tricting plans for both congressional and legislative districts. It was just two weeks ago that Judge Wynn, an Obama appointee, led two other District Court judges in ruling that the N.C. Legislature’s partisan congressional redistricting was unconstitutional, and ordered that they be immediately redrawn.
