In addition to the backpacks, local students also received school supplies, snacks and other items during the giveaways. At the Winston Mutual Building, the line started to form nearly three hours before the event was scheduled to begin. At South Fork El ementary School, more than 300 children received backpacks.
The WSPD and the Police Foundation have been sponsoring the backpack give away since 2016.

Winston-Salem City Coun cilmember Barbara Hanes Burke held a town hall meeting to discuss the rise in gun violence. During that meeting held at Carl Russell Community Cen ter, the goal was to come away with “real solutions” to gun“Whenviolence.we leave here today, the goal is to have strategies that we can agree on and that we can imple ment going forward,” said Burke during the meeting held in late May. Last week Burke held a follow-up meeting to give an update on the initiatives and programs that were proposed during the first meeting.Representatives from the Winston-Salem Po lice Department (WSPD), Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office (FCSO), WinstonSalem Recreation and Parks Department, programswereCountyWinston-Salem/ForsythandSchools(WS/FCS)allonhandtodiscusstheyhaveputin place since the first meet ing.Burke kicked off the conversation by discuss ing partnerships the city has forged with local non profit organizations. She also mentioned a partner ship with retired Forsyth County Clerk of Court Susan Frye, who is now a consultant with the FCSO, designed to bring several programs to Piedmont Cir cle and Cleveland Avenue Homes.Dr. Pam Peoples Joyner, community rela tions specialist with the WSPD, discussed the youth T-ball league that was started with help from the Winston-Salem Po lice Foundation. William Royston, director of rec reation and parks, talked about the department Rec and Roll initiative, which to communities around the city. He also mentioned the Teens in Action program, which is offered at Wil liam C.

Aside from programs and initiatives for young people, during the first meeting several resi dents also asked for an in their neighborhoods. In response, the WSPD and FCSO joined forces to conduct saturation patrols. Saturation patrol is a police or military pa trol tactic wherein a large number of officers are concentrated into a small geographic area. Satura tion patrols are used for hot-spot crime reduction, DUI checkpoints, and oth er location-specific patrols. According to law en forcement, there were no homicides in the month of July and that was a di rect result of the saturation patrols. Burke praised the WSPD and the FCSO for their hard work “We heard from neigh
bor after neighbor after neighbor asking, plead ing and begging for this,” Burke continued. “I want everybody to give the Winston-Salem Police De partment and the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office a round of applause. They are on the front line, they are closest to the crime … and we need to remember that any time anything negative is said about our law enforcement officers.” Sheriff Bobby Kim brough said during the 78 days working with the WSPS on saturation patrol, they were able to seize 57 firearms including sev eral ghost guns, and over $100,000 in illegal drugs.
Kimbrough said if stake holders in the community continue to come together, we can end the senseless violence.“I’m excited about what the future holds,” Kimbrough said. “I think if we continue to have these conversations, working collaboratively together, I think we can change the narrative.”Themeeting on strate gies to end gun violence can be viewed in its entire ty by visiting the City of Winston-Salem’s YouTube channel.

New business focuses on IV Hydration, vitamin infusion for wellness
BY TIMOTHY RAMSEY THECrishonaCHRONICLEBattle has been a board certified registered nurse for over 10 years. Throughout her time in the medical field, she has learned a lot about hydration and wellness. That knowledge led her to start her own business, Body Confidence Day Spa (BCDS), earlier this year. Serving the Triad area, BCDS provides IV Hydra tion therapy, vitamin shot injections and body con touring services. BCDS is mobile and can come to your home, business or events. “IV Hydration has been around for years but typically was only offered in the hospital setting for those who were dehydrat ed, nauseated, vitamin de ficient and needed vitamin and electrolyte supplemen tation. Now IV Hydration can be offered outside of the hospital setting to those with illness.non-life-threatening(Alwaysconsult with your primary physi cian regarding any serious health“IVconditions.)Hydration, also known as vitamin infu sions, are vitamin supple ments that are given in travenously for 100% absorption. Intravenous means administered di rectly into the bloodstream through your veins. What about oral vitamin pills? Are those not effective? Yes, oral vitamin supple ments are also beneficial, but orally your body only absorbs about 20% of the vitamins your body needs because it has to pass through your digestive tract and is not absorbed at its highest cellular ca pacity. IV vitamin therapy maximizes the full absorp tion of vitamins that your body needs to support op timal health,” Battle wrote in a statement. Over the years, Battle has been leaning more toward the aesthetic por tion of the medical field because of her love for the preventative and alterna tive methods of healthcare. “I think this is good for people who are dehy drated, just need an energy boost or have a vitamin deficiency,” Battle said about who would be good candidates for IV Hydra tion. “IV Hydration just drew me into that field of health when it comes to the holistic approach. I actu ally want to get into herbal medicines and teas eventu ally, but right now this is just the building block and will add more to it soon. “It would benefit ath letes, elderly or those who exercise regularly. It would also be good for people who work outdoors or in hot attics like heating and air condition work ers. I hear it’s common for them to get dehydrated and have to go to the hospital just for fluids and that’s something that I can pro vide.”
hard work and faith and integrity and justice, but my opponent, Congress man Ted Budd … actions speak louder than words,” Beasley continued. “We all know actions speak louder than words and he does not speak for us. In fact, we know that this Budd is not for you.”
For their hard work and dedication to the For syth County Democratic Party, during the fund raiser Dr. Virginia Newell and Delmas Parker were honored with Lifetime Achievement Awards. Dr. Newell is well known throughout For syth County and the state as a champion for equal rights. After receiving her doctor of education de gree, Newell joined the faculty at Winston-Salem State University (WSSU) where she worked for more than 20 years. In 1977 Newell and Vivian Burke became the first Black women ever to be elected to the WinstonSalem Board of Alderman (now City Council). New ell served for 16 years on the council and was known as a champion of racial equality, fair hous ing, and economic justice. Also an educator, Delmas Parker taught for many years in different schools across North and South Carolina. Since joining the party in 1986, Parker has served the Democratic Party in many capacities, includ ing precinct chair. While living in Ashe County, Parker served as the chair from 1990 until 1995 and the Fifth District chair from 1997 until 2005. In 2005 he was elected vicechair of the N.C. Demo cratic Party, where he served three terms. After the speakers and awards presentations, the evening ended with danc ing to the music of Envi sion.

The idea for the busi ness was born two years ago, after obtaining some information from a friend for Battle to step out on her own. She researched IV Hydration and found out everything she needed to know about the product. Battle says the fre quency of need for IV Hy dration varies for each per son. She says some may need it once, while others may need a more frequent hydration schedule. “It can be a one-time thing; it’s really based on your need and what you’re looking for,” she said. “Ideally you can get it like every two weeks or once a month for maintenance. It all depends on what you’re lookingAccordingfor.” to Battle, she has standard drips that she routinely uses, or a cus tomer can request a cus tom drip based upon their individual need. Battle’s clientele has continued to build in the short time that she has been open. She has received some great feed back from her clients. To ensure the safety of her clients, Battle has a medical director over her, as well as a consulting nurse practitioner for cli ents that have an extensive medical history.

Back then, banks didn’t have a custom er service problem, but now they do, and they realized that they were going to start losing customers if they didn’t shift,” Evans insisted.

Whitney has been a poll worker several times in recent years. She re flects, “It’s fun to help people vote and it’s partic ularly exciting when you realize you’re verifying the identity of a first-time voter.” But she notes that seriousness goes with the fun. “It was eye-opening and reassuring - seeing for myself the accountabil ity and number of controls to maintain the integrity of the election process.” Many jurisdictions pro vide mandatory training on issues such as the ap propriate types of identi fication; how polling ma chines work; how to open and close a polling place. Poll workers such as Whitney are essential to the smooth running of our elections. They check vot ers in and explain how to cast ballots correctly. They answer questions and manage lines of voters. In some jurisdictions, they are involved in helping to countPollballots.workers perform their positions in nonpartisan fashion, commit ted to the process of mak ing sure all voters get to cast their votes correctly. This is a crucial point. A poll worker’s clear duty is to leave any biases at the door and to be on the side of fair process – as sisting all eligible voters who wish to cast their vote to do so accurately and without interference. De spite their obvious interest in the political process, in many jurisdictions, elec tion officers may not wear clothing that supports a particular candidate or is sue, nor may they engage in political discussions while at the polling place. As Whitney noted: “I appreciated the controls in place to account for every ballot, and that there were buddy systems for each step. Two officers com plete each task and verify each other’s work, such as opening and counting a package of ballots and closing down the machines at the end of the day.” She described further controls: “Throughout the day, officers tally the num ber of ballots issued and re cord the number of ballots a machine has received. The polling location chief compares all the numbers against each other to be sure there are no extra or missing ballots. Election officers sign and counter sign all of the forms certi fying the Volunteercounts.”poll workers such as Whitney are need ed to support election offi cers. Without enough poll workers, polling stations have to be closed. Voters then must travel further and wait in longer lines. This is where you come in. To ensure an ade quate number of in-person polling stations on election day, you can sign up to be a poll worker. Each county has different ways for do ing this. Power the Polls is a nonpartisan group that connects interested volun teers with their local elec tion administrator to learn that county’s sign-up pro cess.Try it!

Democracy at stake To The Editor: The January 6th attack on our nation wasn’t a random act by a handful of sore losers, but a premeditated and or ganized insurrection. Now, thanks to the hearings, there’s overwhelming evidence that Trump and his allies were at the helm of it. These insurrectionists haven’t gone anywhere. In fact, more than 100 of them have already won their primaries. It’s up to us to do our part and vote to make sure they don’t win this fall. Should these dangerous candidates win their elec tions, we could have election deniers in key seats of power, like secretary of state and county clerk, ready to overturn whatever election results they don’t like. Our democracy is at stake. If we want to hold onto our freedoms to vote, to have our votes decide elections, and to rely on elections to keep our leaders in check, then we have to cast our ballots during the midterms this year on November 8th.
Did no one ever tell you about Black August?
We could all use some good news out of Wash ington. I’ve got some. The Senate’s passage of the Inflation Reduction Act this month is good news for families, the economy, the planet, and even our democracy. As I write this, the House is poised to pass the bill too, giving Con gress and President Biden a major win this summer. This is a big deal. For starters, it is the biggest investment in fighting climate change in our country’s history. The bill puts a whopping $360 billion toward developing affordable, clean energy sources.Itcreates tax breaks if you buy an electric vehi cle. Supporters say it will slash carbon emissions by 40% in just eight years; great news for our kids and grandkids, but also great news for all of us right now. Because not only will we have cleaner air and measurable progress against climate change, the investment in renew able energy generation should save families mon ey on their electric bills. It also means we should suf fer less from big ups and downs in oil prices caused by turmoil in unstable parts of the world. I especially like the parts of the bill that in clude money for cities be ing hit particularly hard by climate change and for Native American commu nities. The harms caused by climate change aren’t shared equally. This legis lation recognizes that and does something about it. The bill also promises to put more money back in families’ pockets by using the government’s bargain ing power to lower Medi care prescription drug prices. That is great news for seniors in our commu nities.And it tackles a nag ging problem we’ve had for years: getting big cor porations to pay their fair share in taxes. The bill creates a 15% minimum tax on corporations that make more than $1 billion in profits. It gives the IRS more money to collect tax es from big businesses and wealthy people who use loopholes and legal tricks to avoid paying what they owe.The bill will also put downward pressure on in flation. It may take a little while to see all the effects, but saving families money on health care, prescrip tions and energy – while reducing the deficit – is a firm push in the right di rection for the economy. The bill isn’t perfect. Because of the political compromises necessary to get it passed, some impor tant pieces were dropped. For example, it doesn’t ex tend the federal Child Tax Credit enacted as part of COVID relief, which had a big impact on children living in Therepoverty.ismore work to be done, but this bill shows what serious, committed public servants - in this case, Senate Democratscan accomplish when they work together. If there’s a cloud around this silver lining, it’s that not one Repub lican senator voted for this bill. Not one. Maybe they’re worried about ticking off the big drug companies, which fought lower drug prices tooth and nail. Maybe they think voters will forget by No vember. But I don’t think they will. I don’t think Ameri cans will forget who vot ed for lower drug prices, clean energy, and making billionaires and corpora tions pay their taxes – and whoWedidn’t.hear a lot about the growing gulf between the two major parties in America. But there’s a difference between politi cians and voters. The peo ple of Kansas just voted to protect the right to abor tion care under the state constitution in the face of Republican legislators’ ef forts to impose a complete ban on abortion. I think there are a lot of people - including Republicans - who need lower drug costs and smaller energy bills and think the richest people and companies in America should not get a free pass to avoid paying their fair share of taxes. When we step into the voting booth, we are vot ing for individuals. And those individuals have vot ing records. This fall, vot ers get to decide whether our elected representatives are serving us or working against our best interests, our families, and our fu ture. If your member of Congress isn’t putting you first, you can vote them out. If they are doing what’s best for you, you can send them back. And that’s the best news of all.

Black America lives in a series of deserts. Many of us live in food deserts, financial deserts, employ ment deserts, and most of us live in information des erts.And just as Black bod ies suffer from the lack of proper nourishment in food deserts, Black minds suffer from the lack of accurate history in infor mation deserts. There is a great deal of African his tory, as well as the history of the African Diaspora, which has a rightful place as a significant element of American history, that has been disregarded and even hidden by the proponents and enablers of white su premacy.Thelifetimes of many scholars in the African Diaspora have been spent trying to bring enlighten ment to the world relative to the history of Black folk. So it would be im possible for me to even at tempt to recount more than the most minuscule slice of that history. That being the case, I want to point out only one thing at this time. And this being the month of August, I want to bring to your attention BlackBlackAugust.August was ini tiated by the Black Gue rilla Family in California’s San Quentin State Prison in 1979 when a group of incarcerated individuals came together to com memorate the deaths of Jonathan P. Jackson, who was killed on August 7, 1970, and his brother George Jackson, who was killed on August 21, 1971 – both at San Quentin StateSomePrison.readers may put this commentary down to the mention of the Black Guerilla Family. Others may never have heard of it. Over the decades, the Black Guerilla Fam ily has been characterized as a “gang” comprised of prison inmates and crimi nals from Black sections of inner cities. But Black August, since its begin nings, has become a peo ple’s movement for pris oners’ rights and against America’s culture of in carcerating people of color as a means of political and socialForcontrol.more than four decades, those who are acutely aware of the in equality and violence suf fered by people of color at the hands of America’s criminal justice system and its tandem system of prisons across the country have spoken out against these injustices, trying to keep the flickering torch of freedom alive. The day after George Jackson was killed by prison guards, more than 700 inmates at New York State’s Attica Prison went on a hunger strike. Three weeks after that, what has been termed the most sig nificant prison rebellion in American history was staged. Today, the killing of the Jackson brothers and the Attica Prison re bellion are all but forgot ten by – or never known to – mostButAmericans.thosewith lived experiences of the injus tice inherent in America’s legal apparatus have not forgotten. In 2021, a Black August commemoration was held at the gates of San Quentin Prison with a mixture of speeches, music, spoken word, po etry and phone calls from San Quentin inmates. But before the day of the com memoration, one of the or ganizers of the event was arrested in Oakland by California Department of Corrections police. Min ister King X, a formerly incarcerated Black artist, educator and activist, was charged with violating a little-known California law that prohibits formerly incarcerated individuals from being on prison prop erty without state permis sion. The charges against Minister King X were dropped two days before the commemoration took place, but his arrest was viewed as an intimidation tactic by law enforcement. Few people of col or would argue that the American criminal justice system is fair, and most people of color can cite an example of how that unfairness impacted some one they know. America, as a nation, is coming to understand that its current form of law enforcement was born out of a system of regulating the activities and movement of enslaved Black and brown people. For hundreds of years, this country has witnessed the torture and execution of innocent people of color in the name of progress and justice. And yet, even with all this social awareness, numerous efforts aimed at criminal justice reform and making America an egalitarian society are in visible, even to Black and brownPerhapscommunities.itistime for communities of color to consider joining in to make Black August a commemorative memorial to those who have been unjustly arrested, incarcer ated or killed by a criminal justice system that does not deserve to carry the word “justice” in its name. Perhaps it is time we lend our voices to a struggle that we know is just and lift up those who suffer at the hands of a system created to enforce slavery and maintained to uphold white supremacy. Perhaps it is time to let Black Au gust be the beginning of our more forcefully speak ing truth to power and re inforcing our movement toward emancipation from the chains and shackles of injustice.
D.C. delivers some good news – yes, really

The former president is feeling pressure and discomfort from the Department of Justice
There was a game that we played in my neighbor hood called hide and seek. You remember hide and seek, don’t you? Simply explained, it was a game where we would hide until someone found you. We had some pretty interesting hiding places. We might be in the bushes or in someone’s backyard. The main goal was not to get caught. Of course, all of us would get caught even tually. For some of us, it simply took longer to get caught.At the beginning of the game, we would boast about how we weren’t going to get caught. We thought we could outsmart everyone else. Our thinking was that we had better places to hide and we were just “cooler.” Af ter we were apprehended, we would laugh about it and then go and get a snowball.Wevowed to do better the next time because, you see, it was only a game. In a strange way, the former president of the United States of America was playing a game of hide and seek. As his presidency started, he bragged about how good he was. That he never made mistakes and he was always at the top of his game.Many Americans be lieved his testimonies of self-adulation. Along this ego-filled presidential journey, he made several mistakes in my opinion. The first error in judgment was he confused loyalty to the country with loyalty to him. In the past several months, the former presi dent has seen his appoin tees be loyal to the coun try. The second mistake he made was that he took the office of the president lightly. He wasn’t serious about the tasks at hand. Several reports say that he did not like to read docu ments and that his desk was always clean except for a diet soda. He didn’t realize that reading was fundamental to the posi tion that he held. As we know now, the former president’s home at Mar-a-Lago was searched last week by the FBI. Reports say that they re covered 11 sets of classi fied documents, including some that were identified as top secret. It begs the question: why were these sensitive documents at his house? In my opinion, there is no logical reason for them to beHisthere.lawyers are saying that all classified materi als were returned in June. What else could his law yersMr.say?Trump had a pen chant for mishandling and misplacing documents. John Bolton, a former Trump national security adviser, said, “It worried people all of the time.” Aides say that some times he would trash docu ments and they would have to retrieve them from the waste basket. Am I missing some thing by using the presi dent of this nation and waste basket in the same sentence?They were talking about the then president of the world’s most powerful country.The search warrant, questionable by some, was unsealed largely based upon the public opinion attached to it. U.S. Attor ney General Garland Mer rick said, “The department filed the motion to make public the warrant and re ceipt in light of the former president’s public confir mation of the search, the surrounding circumstanc es, and the substantial pub lic interest in this matter.” Events having Trump’s name attached to them have only just begun. It is my opinion that the Department of Justice has gotten his full attention. Sleepless nights, nerves on edge and lots of diet sodas will be on his menu for the foreseeable future. I wonder if Mr. T played hide and seek as a child? If he had, he would have known that he would eventually be found.

Americans who have grandchildren, Americans who have children, Ameri cans who wish to enjoy life unthreatened by one climate-related disaster af ter another, need to pay at tention to Al Gore’s words. In that short interview, the former vice president clarified what is at stake and the solution. And he made clear that the next step is up to us: elect proclimate public officials at all levels.
There is no time to wait. There is no more de pending on others. There is only one way: use the power of the ballot box.

Al Gore: ‘We have the solutions to the climate crisis’
Former Vice President Al Gore
We The People
BY HOWARD PEARRE Spread the word! Shout it from the rooftops! The sky actually is falling! Several Sundays ago, former Vice President Al Gore, who in 2000 came within a hair of becom ing President Al Gore, had some astounding things to say to Chuck Todd and the Meet The Press audience about our climate change crisis.With a an eerie blue photograph from the space station as a backdrop to show how thin the earth’s protective atmosphere is, he told Todd, “If you could drive to the top of that blue line, drive straight up in the air at interstate highway speed, you’d get to the top of that line in about five minutes, and below would be all the greenhouse gas pollution.“We’re using that as an open sewer, dumping 162 million tons into it every day, and the accumulated amount now traps as much heat in it as would be re leased by 600,000 Hiro shima class atomic bombs exploding on the earth ev ery “Andday. we have the solu tions! Renewable energy from wind and solar is now cheaper in almost the entire world than electric ity from fossil fuel. Those utilities here in the U.S. that have doubled down on gas are seeing their rates go up, while those who are picking solar and wind (are seeing) their rates (go) down!”
This clarion call touched all the civics bases in an 11-minute interview: “we the people,” “grass roots action,” “congres sional, presidential, local, and state races,” “instruct those who are in positions of leadership to start doing the right Finally,thing.”he said, “The one thing that Sen. (Joe) Manchin said that I re ally agree with is that if we want more pro-climate policies, we need to elect more pro-climate senators and representatives in both parties.”

Flip A Switch Earlier in the interview, he had made an amazing assertion.“Ifwe got to true netzero, the temperatures on earth would stop going up with a lag time as little as three to five years, almost as if we flipped a switch. And if we stayed at true net zero, then half of the human-caused CO2 emis sions would fall out of the atmosphere in as little as 25 to 30 years. And we have the solutions avail able! We need to deploy them quickly.”
Gore identified the nec essary action steps: “Public sentiment is changing very dramatical ly, but we need more grass roots action on the part of Americans, not only in the upcoming congressional races and the presidential race in 2024, but in the lo cal races and in the state elections as well. “We the people have to solve this and we have to instruct those who are in positions of leadership to start doing the right thing. Our survival as a species may depend upon it!”

The City of Winston-Salem has launched a new app and online tool that takes the guesswork out of curb side collections, be it garbage, re cycling, yard waste, brush or bulky itemThecollection.appiscalled Winston-Salem Collects and is free for Apple and Android. It sends out reminders for all curbside collections and holiday collection changes, and has a “waste wizard” look-up feature that tells users how to dispose of items, be it in the garbage, through curbside re cycling, or at a drop-off site. It also allows users to report missed collec tions and notifies users of unexpected changes in the collection schedule. The online version, available at CityofWS.org/Sanitation and at CityofWs.org/Recycling, offers all the features available through the app plus the ability to print personal ized collection calendars that include holiday collection changes. Helen Peplowski, the City’s sus tainability director, says the notifi cations’ feature will be especially handy during winter storms. “Should we have to cancel collections due to snow or ice, we can notify just those people whose collections were de layed and let them know their makeup day,” she “Likewise,”said.Peplowski said, “if a collection truck were to break down and a few streets on that route did not get collected, we can notify just the people living on those streets – but only if they have the app or signed up online for notifications.” To download the app, go to the Apple Store or the Play Store and search for the Winston-Salem Col lects app. Users will be guided to type in their address when they open the app for the first time.

These are the people that helped me during my visit at the ED. The ED was very busy that Saturday morning. When I was put in a room, all these people made such a great effort to make sure I was taken care of and went beyond their duties, starting with the RNs, transportation person, the nursing station, all of the technical staff. Walker made note that I had come in at 3 a.m. and because of that he went and got me a sandwich. Jelisa Workman (transpor tation person) she checked on me between patients until I left at 9 p.m. So much was done for me and because of that I was distracted from the seriousness of why I was there. When I left, I felt that everything that could have been done for me was done and I was also given information for follow-up. I thought help from that many people in the emergency room needed recognition considering the many patients who were there that night. Thank you so much! Pastor Cheryl Ingram

Eleven-time NBA champion and all-time great Bill Russell passed away on July 31 of this year. To honor his legacy and greatness, the NBA will permanently retire his jersey number leaguewide. Russell will be the first player in the history of the association to have his number retired. Russell is widely re garded as the ultimate winner in all of team sports. He was not only a champion on the court, he was an outspoken activist for the civil rights of Afri can Americans during the 50s and “Bill60s.Russell’s un paralleled success on the court and pioneering civil rights activism de serve to be honored in a unique and historic way,” said NBA Commissioner Adam Silver. “Perma nently retiring his No. 6 across every NBA team ensures that Bill’s tran scendent career will al ways be NBARussell’sthatinersthetheLeBronrentStates.leaguesjorhaveotherinWayne(No.best.forcompanyalongsidetiontograteful.forplayerstocoursethe“Bill’storNBPAeverthehonor“Thisrecognized.”isamomentousreservedforoneofgreatestchampionstoplaythegame,”saidExecutiveDirecTamikaTremaglio.actionsonandoffcourtthroughouttheofhislifehelpedshapegenerationsofforthebetterandthat,weareforeverWeareproudcontinuethecelebraofhislifeandlegacytheleague.”RusselljoinsanelitethatisreservedonlythebestoftheJackieRobinson42intheMLB)andGretzky(No.99theNHL)aretheonlytwonumbersthatbeenretiredbymaprofessionalsportshereintheUnitedThereareseveralcurplayers,mostnotablyJames,thatwearNo.6jerseynumberinNBAandthoseplaywillbegrandfatheredandcanchoosetowearnumberiftheyplease.Alongwithretiringnumber,thealsoplanstohonor the five-time MVP by having a commemorative patch displayed on the right shoulder of all the teams’ jerseys.

“We have been through a couple of holidays and especially the biggest one, July 4, which was his fa vorite holiday,” said Isaiah Harris, Harry Harris’ son. “With this cookout coming up, this is his day. We just wanted to, like my mother said, reach out to the com munity that remembers him, but the community he would still be touching if he was here “Comingtoday.from the oldest perspective of my birthday is five days after his, so that’s the connec tion me and him always had. It will definitely be different this year.”

Harris was a proud graduate of Mt. Tabor High School, class of 1995. He went on the attend Fay etteville State University (FSU), where he played football. He graduated from FSU in 2000 and cherished his alma mater. It is also the place where he met his wife Tarsha. Harris’ favorite foot ball team was the Pitts burgh Steelers, so there will be a balloon release with 46 black, gold and white balloons because he would have been 46 years of age this year. When people heard about the passing of Har ris, it was devastating news to many because of the kind soul he was. Tar sha Harris says she was not surprised by the number of people who were impacted by his death. “I was expecting this because honestly, that’s just the type of person that Harry was,” she said. “I wasn’t shocked at all, but honestly, this whole cook out was really just to honor him, and I really wasn’t aiming for a huge turnout, I just felt like whoever shows up, shows up.”
Even though it will be tough to relive all of the great moments they shared with Harry, Tarsha and their son Isaiah say cel ebrating the life of Harry is more“It’simportant.goingto be emo tional,” she said. “It’s his birthday and he’s not here physically to celebrate his birthday, which is tough.”
Fernanders says others such as Shermane McGriff became involved to really expand the tournaments and to get to the level of where it is now. Fer nanders says Harris was all about the people, so any one who wanted to become involved with expanding the alumni tournaments was welcomed by Harris. Hearing about the pass ing of Harris was “devas tating” for Fernanders. He had spoken to Harris the previous day and when Tarsha Harris notified him of Harris’s passing, he couldn’t believe it. “God didn’t make too many Harrys,” said Fer nanders. “One thing about Harry, Harry touched a lot of people. If he could help, he would help you. It was nothing in the world that Harry wouldn’t do for you.”There are some details to be worked out pertain ing to the football and bas ketball tournaments, but as far as the kickball tourna ment, it’s a go. On Sept. 17 at Twin City Ballfields, 2790 New Walkertown Road, The Women of Elite Eight will present the inau gural Harry Harris Memo rial Kickball Tournament. Kickball tournament organizer Nakeeba Orr knew Harris from their time in elementary school. She says the passing of Harris hurt and he left be hind a lot of people who will miss him. Orr says Harris was dedicated to his family and was a man of the “Icommunity.feellikethis is what he would have wanted,” said Orr. “I feel like ev erybody is so used to him being there supporting us and he loved to see us play kickball, he loved we got it started, and I just think that would be honorable for him to keep it going and just do it in his memory. “It was my idea to name it after him. I think I am going to keep this tour nament separate from my original Elite Eight tourna ment. I feel like because it’s around his birthday, I couldn’t do it the week of the picnic, but I decided to do it in September in hon or of his birthday and his memory all in one.”
BY TIMOTHY RAMSEY THETheCHRONICLEnameHarry Har ris is synonymous with community and heart. The man, affectionately named “Mr. Polo Road,” unfor tunately passed away ear lier this year on Jan 23. To honor his legacy, his birth day and the great man he was, a cookout will be held on Sept. 2 from 5 to 8 p.m. at Oak Summit Park. Harris was truly a man of the people and the main architect for the Elite Eight alumni basketball and flag football tournaments dur ing the holiday season. The tournaments were not only a place for alumni to fellowship, Harris col lected canned goods and toys, which he donated to local nonprofits to help the less fortunate. Harris never met a stranger as he befriended nearly every one he met because of his inviting personality. He will be missed by family and friends Anotheralike.mission of Harris’ was helping the youth. He ran an enrich ment camp for children each summer called The Love Center. The camp consisted of classroom style sessions and activities such as golf, swimming, science, skating and even visiting museums.“Harry is my husband, so this whole thing was unexpect ed, and his birthday is on Friday, Sept. 2, so me and his son couldn’t think of any other way but to honor him,” said Tarsha Harris, Harry Harris’ wife. “You know, just have the com munity come out, and you know he was definitely all about the community. I just wanted to honor him and keep his legacy going. “It’s just a dedica tion for him, I mean this is something we want to start up, because we are calling it the first annual Harry Harris cookout, so who knows where it could go. Definitely just wanted to start off by extending it out to everyone to come out and celebrate his honor and just laugh and remi nisce about him.”
Harris had many people who cherished his friend ship. Chad Fernanders met Harris through Har ris’ father and they became closer during their college years. Fernanders also worked with Harris in co ordinating the Elite Eight during its early stages. “We just clicked and that was my brother,” said Fernanders. “We were ac tually sitting at his house one day and his wife was giving him some insight on some things on how they do things down in Dur ham with this little event, so me and him really came up with the Elite Eight, as far as how we were going to run“Weit. just started off with two teams really, with East Forsyth and Mt. Ta bor, and then after that it sort of was getting bigger. Harry was one of the ones that would call everyone to check on them every day.”

Background: The book of Revelation is intention ally designed to explain what happens before, during, and after the return of Christ for the church. Chapter 22 of the book presents creation restored to God’s origi nal design. The future described in Revelation closely resembles the future society in the prophecy of Isaiah 65:17-23. There are images such as … *Joy and rejoicing (Is.65:18) *An end to weeping and crying (65:19) *Building and living in our own houses (65:21) *Owning, planting, and enjoying the fruit of our vineyards*Enjoying(65:21,22)thework of our hands (65:22), and *An end to laboring in vain or bringing children into a world of trouble (65:23) Revelation, like the Bible as a whole, is a book of both promise and warning. Lesson: A River Flowing from the Throne of God (Revelation 22:1-2). “And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and the Lamb” (verse 1). Old Testa ment prophets used the picture of a river as a power ful expression of richness, provision, and peace (Isaiah 48:18, Zechariah 14:8, Ezekiel 47:1-9). The garden of Eden had four rivers, but the heavenly city has only one that flows from a single throne shared by God the Fa ther and God the Son. They are the source of all purity and the river symbolizes the continual flow of eternal life to heaven’s inhabitants. “In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life …” (verse 2a). The “tree of life” is the same one mentioned in Genesis 3 – a symbol of both eternal life and continued blessing. Either the tree is large enough to span the river, so that the river is in the midst of the street, and the tree is on both sides of the river … (John Walvoord) or the word “tree” as a collective reference, speaks of rows of trees, all of them the same kind, all called the tree of life growing on either side of the river (Spurgeon). “… which bare twelve manner of fruits and yielded her fruit every month: …” (verse 2b). This is symbolic of the abundant variety in heaven. There is, however, a book written by Ernest C. Watson Jr., “The Twelve Fruits of the Tree of Life.” It describes the twelve fruits as attributes for righteous living. So, “ev ery month” apparently, heaven will mark time, but not to be subject to it in the same way we are now. “… and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations” (verse 2c). There are at least two views on the heal Thursdays and Saturdays Free Meals Christ Rescue Temple Church, 1500 North Dunleith Ave., will serve hot meals as part of the People Helping People Feeding Program.

See River on B6 BY TIMOTHY RAMSEY THEJustCHRONICLEafewshort months ago, Whole Man Min istries (WMM) finished construction on yet an other house for a homeless veteran. They wasted no time in starting their next project as they have now begun remodeling another home for a needy veteran. Whole Man Ministries has helped several veter ans get back on their feet over the years by provid ing them with housing. Bishop Barry Washington, WMM senior pastor, took no time off to start on the new home, which he plans to have finished by Veter an’s“WeDay. are poised to move forward and nor mally it takes us a year to do one of these because of funding and volunteers that we have to wait on, but this year I vowed to have this thing done be fore Veteran’s Day,” said Washington. “That’s cut ting our time down in half, so we are going to push that, and I think we have a few people that want to help.“We had a couple of churches come in and send in volunteers and that made a big difference as well.”To accomplish their goal of finishing the home by November 11, which is Veteran’s Day, Washington says they have increased the number of volunteers working on renovating the home, while also increas ing the funding that allows them to pay workers to work at a faster rate. WMM started working on the home in July. Wash ington says the home was in a very dilapidated state and needed a lot of work to get the home up to their standards.“It’sgoing to take a lit tle bit more work. I would say maybe 15 to 20 percent more work than the last home,” Washington stated about the house. The home WMM is working on is actually right next door to the last home they renovated for a veteran. Washington says that gives them a daily reminder of what the goal is and encourages them to workWashingtonharder. stated that not only does WMM reno vate the home, but they also provide the appliances like refrigerator, stove, mi crowave and washer and dryer. If they have extra funding, they also furnish the home so that is another expense the veteran does not have to worry about. WMM partners with several veteran’s organi zations in order to find a veteran for their renovated homes.“We work with a couple organizations like Veteran Affairs and we try to go through them to try and find five or so veter ans and then we narrow that down to two or three and then we finally make the selection,” said Wash ington about the selection process. “Usually all those agencies submit one or two clients and then we take it fromWashingtonthere.” says it feels good to be recog nized for the good work the church is doing. He feels veterans are a lost demographic in this coun try and he just wants to do what he can to help. “We love that,” he said. “It’s nothing like being rec ognized for the work that you do for the community. That’s one of the greatest recognitions that you can have from the community, which is to be acknowl edged for the work you do for the people. “I always think that if your hand is on the plow and you’re pushing for ward, somehow, some way, someone will see it and appreciate it. We are always thankful when the community sees what we do and appreciate that. We understand the call and our call is to reach beyond the walls and to make an effective difference. Our motto is that we go the dis tance to make the differ ence. We are there, we are on the front lines and we have boots on the ground.” Washington says he does not consider this hard work, but instead consid ers this work a joy. “This is not something that is tedious or hard for us, it’s really a joy for us to do it,” Washington stat ed. “This is mandated by Christ when He says, ‘The least of them, you have done it to Washingtonme.’” said he is in need of assistance with plumbing in the home, so he encourages those who would like to help to reach out to the church. They also need help with paint ing and fixing the roof.

Russell was the ulti mate winner during his playing days. Not only did his Celtic teams win 11 championships, they won eight in a row during that span, which will never be duplicated in the league ever again. His winning ways prompted the NBA to rename the NBA Fi nals Most Valuable Player Award in his honor. He has even been present to give the winner the award mul tiple times throughout the years.There was a lot that Russell had to endure dur ing his playing days in Boston. It’s no secret that the town of Boston had their racial issues during the 50s and 60s. I have heard stories about Rus sell being called racial slurs and receiving death threats following losses while playing in Boston. His home was even broken into and vandalized with racial epithets spray-paint ed on the wall. He had some animos ity toward the city of Bos ton for the terrible things he had to go through while playing in the city. It was so bad that he refused to have his jersey retired in front of Boston fans, in stead choosing to have a private retirement cer emony with only certain individuals within the or ganization.It’shard to imagine a player that won at such a high level having to en dure that level of racism in his own city. That shows that the civil rights move ment and racist history of this country is not that longEvenago. with his success on the court, I think Rus sell was more impactful off the court. His work during the civil rights movement was very impactful. Rus sell, along with Muham mad Ali, Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Jim Brown and others, had a tremendous impact on the movement during the early part of the 60s. Russell even received the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2011 from President Barack Obama. “He endured insults and vandalism, but he kept focusing on making the teammates who he loved better players, and made possible the success of so many who would fol low,” Obama said in 2011, “and I hope that one day, in the streets of Boston, children will look up at a statue built not only of Bill Russell the player, but Bill Russell the man.” You have to love a per son like Bill Russell be cause he was the type who preferred to walk the walk instead of talking the talk, so to speak. I think this move by Adam Silver to retire the jersey of Russell league-wide was a good one.The NBA continues to make the right moves time and time again. It seems they just have the pulse of what the public wants when it comes to rules, so cial justice issues and hon oring their legends. There are some things the NBA can teach other leagues about honoring their leg ends.R.I.P. Bill Russell. You will never be forgotten.
B6 A ugust 18, 2022 t he C hroni C le ing … one is the leaves are used to mend nations and their relationships to ward one another (Lahaye -Parker). Another, in the ancient Greek language, the word for “healing” can also mean “health-giving” – the leaves somehow en rich heavenly life. Tony Evans explains it in a to tally different way; see his Study Bible for details. God’s Glorious Pres ence (verses 3-5). “And there shall be no more curse” (verse 3a). The curse (Genesis 3:14-19) will be totally gone for ever. “… but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it …” (verse 3b). Instead of the curse, the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it. “… and the servants shall serve Him” (verse 3c). Heaven will be a place of pure blessedness of ser vice centering on God. “And they shall see His face …” Since the face expresses who someone is, to see God’s face will be to know who God is in His personal being. “… and His name shall be in their foreheads.” God’s people will be identified with their God, there will be no doubt that they be long to Him. “And there shall be no night … for the Lord God giveth them ise (verses 6-7). “… These words are faithful and true” (verse 6a). These words refer to the entire book of Revelation. They are authenticated as genu ine by the angel whom God sent “… to show His bond-servants the things which must soon take place” (verse 6b). Who are the “bond-servants”? They are the members of the seven churches of Asia Minor and all be lievers who have read, or will read, John’s prophecy of Revelation. “I come quickly …” (verse 7a). The quickly – may more accurately be rendered as “suddenly. “ The return of Christ for the church may occur “at any time.” “… blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of prophecy of this book” (verse 7b). Prophecy gives us a word to keep, not just material for interesting discussion and debate. The main in tent of prophecy is to lead God’s people to trust and obey Him and apply His truth to the way we live. (The UMI Annual Com mentary 2021-2022, The mentary). For Your Consider ation: What do you think about the twelve differ ent fruits from one tree? Could it be twelve trees, each with a different fruit? Application: The Bi ble opens with the story of “Paradise Lost” and closes with “Paradise Regained.” We must read and obey God’s Word. God reveals His plan to return to Para dise (Eden) in the ideas of a river, a tree of life, revo cation of the curse, inti macy restored, and reign ing resumed. It is a perfect consummation. Our chal lenge is to prepare for a residence in the New Je rusalem by being obedient to His Word. These are the true Words of God.
