Carver alum sworn in as president of NC Nurses Association THE CHRONICLE

As part of their 114th Annual Convention last month, Winston-Salem native Meka Douthit EL was sworn in as president of the North Carolina Nurses Association (NCNA). Douthit EL is only the third Black person to serve as president of the NCNA. After being sworn in during the convention

held on Sept. 23, Douthit EL, who is a graduate of Carver High School, said she was honored to serve as president of the NCNA. She said, “I am blessed and honored and proud to stand before you as the third African American president, following in the footsteps of Sandra Wilder and Dr. Ernest Grant.”

Douthit EL said although she didn’t know it then, Carver and her upbringing helped shape her into the person she is today. She said when she attended Carver, it was a place where students were inspired to be all they could be and her family stressed the importance of helping others and giving back to the community.

“We had mentors who poured into us and that’s where I learned you can do anything that you want, but it takes hard work. I graduated from Carver in 1991 and at

Meka Douthit EL that time we had a lot of movers and shakers and a lot of forward thinkers,” she continued. “And my family … one side is Gilmore Funeral Home

and on the other side is Douthit Funeral Home, so I grew up in a family of hard workers who gave back to the community, so it’s always been a part of

me. I think all of that was very foundational to who I am.”

After high school, Douthit EL attended NC A&T State University where she originally majored in chemical engineering before transferring to UNC Greensboro (UNCG) and changing her major to nursing. She mentioned that she had a professor who tried to convince her to go to medical school, but nursing gave her more freedom. “In nursing you can do lots of different things. You go to medical school and you’re tied to the one thing you specialize in. I felt I had freedom and opportunity in the nursing profession and could do a lot of things, and that’s what I did and haven’t regretted it. Nursing has been very good to me,” she said.

Douthit EL received her bachelor’s of science

in nursing from UNCG in 1996. She went on to earn her master’s degree from East Carolina University and her doctorate from Old Dominion University.

For the past six years, Douthit EL has served as a director at Moses H. Cone Memorial Hospital in Greensboro. Douthit EL said now that she is in a leadership role, she has the opportunity to take care of the staff and spend time with patients that other staff may not have the time to do.

“I can spend time holding a hand, I can spend time getting to know the patient a little more and find out about their grandchildren and look through pictures on their phone. I get to fill in that gap,” Douthit EL continued. “I sit in a good seat. It’s tiring, it’s some of hardest work See Douthit on A2 6 89076 32439 7

Weekend hobby turns into full-time career for local photographer

BY TEVIN STINSON THE CHRONICLE

On a whim about seven years ago, Alphonso Abbott Jr. bought a camera at a local pawn shop to take photos at his son’s youth football games and other sports. “It started with my son. I used to just shoot all his sports and then people just started asking for pictures,” Abbott said.

What started out as a hobby, just something he did on the weekends, has grown to become a way of life, so much so that over a year ago, Abbott quit his job and decided to pursue photography full time. Abbott, the man behind Jr.’s Action Shots, said the decision to take a leap of faith and bet on himself was one of the best decisions he ever made.

When discussing the day he decided to pursue photography full time, Abbott said he had dreamt about it and the next day he went to work and turned in his badge.

“I had to be at work at five in the morning and I woke up that morning and turned in my badge.

That vision was so real and it felt good to be able to do what I wanted to do,” Abbott continued.

“It’s probably one of the greatest decisions I ever made because I’ve proved so many people wrong; a lot of people were doubting me.”

Abbott said he perfected the craft by watching other photographers like Brian Reid, Jay Galloway, Andrew Dye, Tim Wilson, Toni Shaw and several others. He said it also took a lot of practice. Abbott said he would spend hours shooting and editing photos.

“I would just go outside and shoot and come back and edit, that’s really how I got into it. They taught me the basics, but I was just so inspired by their work that it pushed me to be better than them and keep going,” Abbott said.

Douthit From page A1

I’ve ever done, and it’s rewarding at the same time, if that makes sense.”

Last spring, while helping lead her team through the COVID-19 crisis, Douthit EL also lost her mother to cancer.

Douthit EL said during that time she learned how resilient she is as a person and as a leader. “It really showed me my level of resilience. It showed me that I was enough,” she said.

Although she was sworn in last month, Douthit EL has served as president-elect of the NCNA since 2019.

According to their website, NCNA is the leading professional organization

Photo by Alphonso Abbott Jr.

Alphonso Abbott Jr. The South Fork Panthers, a local youth football organization, was the first to give Abbott the opportunity to take photos from the sideline. And soon after that, several other organizations like the Winston-Salem Indians, Winston-Salem Warriors, Union Cross Bobcats, and Greensboro Jr. Aggies reached out to Abbott.

They weren’t the only ones taking notice of Jr.’s Action Shots. Around the same time, several local high schools started reaching out to him and it wasn’t long before he was doing graduation shoots, prom and engagement photos, headshots, weddings, and contributing to The Chronicle.

Abbott said he was nervous at first about venturing away from sports photography and shooting more events and portraits, but he had faith in himself.

“Don’t get me wrong, my first wedding I was nervous, but I refused to say no because if I say no, I’m telling myself I can’t do it, so I just went ahead and tried it,” Abbott said.

Although he has had the opportunity to shoot several famous people including international tennis star CoCo Gauf, NBA star Zion Williamson, Bernie Sanders, and the

late Biz Markie, Abbott said what he has enjoyed the most is watching local youth athletes grow into college athletes through his lens. “One of the biggest things to me is when I get to see some of the players I shot in Pop Warner on the college level. Like Christian Beal. When I see him at Wake Forest, or J.K. Henry who went to West Forsyth … and now Amari Marshall at Wake Forest, I think that’s dope,” Abbott said.

No matter if he’s shooting Zion Williamson at the LJVM Coliseum, Carver’s JV team in the Lash/Chronicle Tournament, or a birthday party, Abbott puts the same time and effort into every photo he takes, and that’s what sets him apart.

He said when he first started taking photography seriously, a friend told him to never post anything or give anyone a product he wasn’t proud of, and that has stuck with him.

“It’s my name behind it and that means a lot, so everything I put out I want it to be like the best of the best. It doesn’t matter what age they are, I’m going to give it my all,” he continued. “Like I said, it’s your name and this is my full-time job, so I have to make sure everything I do is on point. If it’s not the

The NCNA is led by a board of directors elected by the membership and consisting of three executive committee members, four members at large, and the chair of the Commission on Advanced Practice Nursing. The mission of the association is to serve the changing needs of its members, address nursing issues, and advocate for the health and well-being of all people.

When asked what some of her goals are as president of the NCNA, Douthit EL mentioned the need to be engaged with members and finding

creative ways to address staffing shortages. By 2025 North Carolina is expected to be ranked in the top five states with the highest need for nurses.

“We have to act now and see how we can keep people in the profession, attract people to the profession, and help people understand who we are as professionals and what we need in support of our professional practice,” Douthit EL said.

“I want to get to know the membership, feel the pulse, and continue to advance the wonderful things we’re doing, and come together to make it even greater. I want NCNA to be a place where their needs are met and a place that can be a wonderful resource.”

best, I don’t even want it out there.”

When asked what the future holds for Jr.’s Action Shots 10 years from now, Abbott said he wants to partner with more schools in the area, and eventually build a team.

“I want to expand out of Winston-Salem, at least go a little further, hopefully see my name in South Carolina. I want it to be a brand. I have a lot of great ideas I want to implement, but I’m going to need a team.”

FILM REVIEW:

Disney’s Jungle Cruise

BY MICHAEL HERNANDEZ

“Jungle Cruise,” starring Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt, is based on an adventure ride at Disney theme parks. So, can the “Pirates Of The Caribbean” magic work again? I’m not sure this is a billion-dollar franchise, but Johnson and Blunt pull off a fun, even if predictable, movie in the latest Disney blockbuster.

The movie is set in 1930s’ London where Blunt and her brother (Jack Whitehall) are attempting to steal an ancient piece of art that will open a secret treasure in the Amazon that contains some ancient magic that can cure disease.

Blunt’s character wants the treasure to cure people all over the world. However, hot on their heels is a German prince who wants the magic to make his army invincible. That’s where they meet local hustler Frank (Dwayne Johnson), who is hired to take them down the river filled with peril from everything from jungle animals to 400-year-old spirits who want the treasure as well.

The movie is very similar to “Pirates Of The Caribbean” with the cursed spirits chasing the same treasure and the German army involved in the chase as well. There’s great chemistry between Johnson and Blunt who rely on each other to survive test after test in the unpredictable jungle. I also like how Blunt refuses to be defined by any typical male stereotype. There’s a running gag throughout the movie where Captain Frank refers to her as “Pants,” rather than by her name.

In return she calls him “Skippy.” The movie also reminds me a lot of the classic film “The African Queen” with Humphrey Bogart and Katherine Hepburn, but I figured almost no one reading this remembers a 1951 movie, so I just left those references out. But if you remember that movie, you’ll understand. “Jungle Cruise” runs just over two hours (which I thought could’ve been shortened to about 90 minutes), but it is a very enjoyable adventure.

It’s rated PG-13 and on my “Hollywood Popcorn Scale” I rate the movie a LARGE. Michael “Hollywood” Hernandez, movie critic, radio personality and consultant, is the entertainment reporter and columnist for the Texas Metro News.

Consumer prices are skyrocketing, but what’s driving the spike?

Algenon Cash Guest Columnist A quick study of economics will inform us that “prices” lead to efficiency in the use of scarce resources. High prices is not the reason everyone is unable to live on the beach front, but instead the reality is that there is not enough beach-front homes for everyone and prices simply communicate the underlying reality.

When you take a moment to examine the cost of gasoline, you uncover a number of factors that influence its price.

For example, geopolitical issues such as terrorism in the Middle East, stronger global demand for oil, lack of domestic refining capacity, federal and state taxes. All of these factors determine the price we pay at the

pump for the use of a scarce resource. Gasoline prices are up 42.1% annually.

Consumer prices are skyrocketing and families are feeling the pressure as prices for household staples like milk, paper supplies, coffee, beef, and produce spike nationally.

Walk in your local grocery store and you’ll see empty shelves and traditional items such as poultry completely out of stock or priced too high for the average family budget.

Poultry prices increased 12.6% year over year and overall consumer prices have climbed sharply in 2021, reaching 5.4% in September, compared to last year.

Companies across multiple industries blame the price increases on expanding demand and endless supply chain disruptions.

Labor shortages at major ports, warehouses, distribution centers, processing facilities, and logistical firms are slowing operations to a crawl.

Family farms in North Carolina with produce crops are forced to

destroy okra, green beans, and collards still in the ground simply because upstream production and transportation is unavailable. When supply falls while demand remains high, naturally prices will swing higher.

Wages in every industry is on the ascent too. Some growth driven by market fundamentals, for example, retail giants such as Amazon and Walmart have been on a hiring frenzy. They both are recruiting entry level workers at $17-$22 per hour and that will cause more pressure on lower wages to recalibrate.

A growing number of municipal and state governments now mandate higher minimum wages.

The push to get every man, woman, and child earning at least $15 per hour is straining small businesses.

In a recent market survey with restaurant owners across various service categories, nearly all participants expected to raise menu prices 15 - 20% in Q4.

Federal Reserve officials are not pressing the panic button quite yet

and have called the current inflation trend “transitory,” and connect the price spikes to supply chain and demand issues that they fully expect to subside in the coming months.

Those believing inflation won’t be a major factor in 2022 could possibly be hoping more than developing a factbased hypothesis. Right now the average family’s wallet is shrinking as they plow more income toward food, energy, and shelter.

If prices continue to rise, then families will have less available discretionary income for going out to eat, taking trips, or buying holiday gifts. The real and present danger is that we enter a territory of “stagflation” – an event where prices continue rising while economic output stagnates.

What causes the pervasive racial bias of some police officers?

Dr. James B. Ewers Jr.

Guest Columnist

The workplace is full of people from different backgrounds. We all bring various experiences to our positions. Some of what we bring comes from our childhood, meaning where we grew up and how we grew up.

The where and the how are important questions.

While important, we must also acknowledge that bias and prejudice are everywhere. To say otherwise is wrong and a bit naïve.

First, I believe how we grew up is more important than where we grew up.

Some would argue that point. There are several questions and issues around the how part.

Did we have respect for traditional institutions?

Did we have self-respect and respect for others?

Were we taught some HT (Home Training)? Did we have role models, people we perceived as successful and obviously knew more than we did?

One of the traditional institutions is the police.

Their universal motto is

“to protect and to serve.”

We can all agree they have difficult jobs and they put their lives on the line every day. Our safety and security are dependent upon police departments across the country.

Yet we know that like all professions, there are bad police. That is a sad but true reality of life.

There are striking deeds of misconduct and violence that have been perpetrated against people of color over the course of history.

As a Black man, I have had first-hand uncomfortable experiences with the police in northern and southern parts of this country. Black men in my circle of friends have also had unpleasant encounters with law enforcement.

Black women have had their lives cut short by the fatal indiscretions of some police officers. We know the names of them, and we honor their memories.

An incident involving an African American woman in Louisiana has garnered nation-wide attention and alarm. Recently, Shantel Arnold, an African American female, was shown on video being slammed to the pavement by a Jefferson Parish (LA) deputy sheriff. The incident happened on Sept.

20.

The deputy sheriff, a 16-year veteran of the force, is white. His name is

Julio Alvarado.The video shows that he was grabbing her arm and hair and slinging her to the ground.

I have seen the video and my words cannot capture the ugliness of this scene.

Ms. Arnold is 4 feet 8 inches tall and approximately 100 pounds. In my opinion, this is police brutality gone unchecked and intentional.

Officer Alvarado has been named in nine civil rights suits, all involving the use of excessive force.

This consistent pattern of physical abuse is reprehensible.

Are there no enforcers of right and justice in that parish? Has Jefferson Parish become a haven for racial intolerance?

Mr. Alvarado was demoted from sergeant to deputy in January 2020.

Alanah Odoms, executive director of the ACLU of Louisiana said, “It is no secret that the Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office has a deep-rooted history of racial discrimination and cruelty toward residents of color.” She added, “The harsh political reality is the sheriff of Jefferson Parish is wholly unaccountable to the people.”

Reports by ProPublica and WRKF/WWNO say that more than 70% of the people shot at by deputies in an eight-year period were African American,

yet only 27% of the parish’s population is African American.

This type of blatant and raw racism is beyond the pale.

Will anything change in Jefferson Parish? That is a good question and I don’t know the answer. Race has been a social justice issue in this part of the state for decades. Sheriff Joseph L. Lipinto III says the video was doctored and edited.

I am using my words to paraphrase his words.

How do you edit a beat down? What part of this nightmare that happened in broad daylight do you take out?

Mr. Lipinto said the Sheriff’s Department has ordered 500 body cameras.

This is after years of protests and pressure by the residents of the parish, both Black and white.

We know what has transpired with no cameras.

We will see what happens with them.

She decided to write her first book entitled ”Introduction to Tax Preparation” to assist individuals with starting their own tax business, growing their tax business, and understanding the tax process.

Dr. Moore launched her book on her birthday on Aug. 21 and was overwhelmed with the fact that all the books were sold out within just a few days. Dr. Moore ordered only 200 books because she did not expect to receive such a tremendous response in a short period of time. Dr. Moore stated that this has to be a blessing because she has never seen this much support in her life.

Especially after suffering the tragic loss of her biggest supporter.

Dr. Moore’s son, Shaun Moore, was just 21 years old when he was murdered in New Orleans on Sept. 29, 2020, due

to senseless violence. Naturally, she was grief-stricken and her heart continuously aches due to this incident. She wanted to give up on everything because Shaun was her business partner and made her feel like the best mother in the world. Shaun had plans to continue helping his mother grow her business and wanted to start his own trucking company.

Because Shaun was positive, helpful, and giving, Dr. Moore desires to complete all of his unfinished goals. She plans to carry out every goal that her son didn’t get an opportunity to finish, plus grow her business. She says that she carries the love of her son in her heart and respects all the things her son has done to assist with starting up the business. She vows to keep his memory alive as her business partner by securing his position as an honorary CEO. In honor of her son, Dr. Moore has planned to launch a set of financial literacy books for children on Nov. 1 which can be bought at TheTaxDocta.

Teen event today aims to help stop violence among youth

BY TIMOTHY RAMSEY THE CHRONICLE

Tuger Boone has a passion for helping lead the next generation in the right direction by keeping kids off the streets and into something positive.

This afternoon he will be holding a Teenage Day Party at the Winston Lake YMCA, 901 Waterworks Road, from 4-7 p.m. to show the youth that the community is there for them.

The day party will include free food, motivational speakers, and gift bags. Boone traditionally hosted a teenage lock-in, but with the pandemic still among us, a day party seemed like a more responsible way to get his positive message across to the young people in attendance.

“It’s a free event and nobody has to pay for anything,” said Boone. “A lot of people are actually donating to it and these teenagers are used to seeing women because they come from singleparent households. When people try to get these young teenagers out in the street, they see women, so it’s an opportunity for these men out here to step into these young men’s lives, because they need

them.”

Boone partnered with Antonio Stevenson of My Brothers Second Chance and Sheriff Bobby Kimbrough for the event.

He also spends a lot of time at the Winston Lake YMCA mentoring youth twice a week. His goal is for at-risk youth to come out and hear a positive word from a positive male role model.

“I just want to bring them out there to eat and fellowship and be around some positive people,” he said. “They are scared to go to school, they are scared to go outside; they are living with a lot of fear. We are just creating an opportunity for them to come out and let them know they don’t have to live in fear.”

The success of this next generation of Black men is very important to Boone. He says it’s vital that these young men feel like they have someone or somewhere they can go for help.

For several weeks in a row, a firearm has been found inside of a Forsyth County school.

There seems to also be an uptick in fistfights as well.

These are alarming trends for Boone, and he feels leadership in the city is to blame.

Ilyasah Shabazz talks about ‘The Awakening of Malcolm X’

BY STACY M. BROWN

Ilyasah Shabazz, the third daughter of Malcolm X and Dr. Betty Shabazz, acknowledged being inspired by the current generation of activists who helped push the Black Lives Matter movement globally. She said her famous late parents predicted that young ones

Malcolm X in this day would recognize those in power who have misused their authority.

“They have to [uncover] the truth, and they are willing to do the necessary work ensuring that it happens,” Shabazz told the National Newspaper Publishers Association in an exclusive interview at the Marriott Marquis hotel in New York City.

A role model herself, Shabazz has picked up

five award-winning books about her and her parents’ lives. The latest, “The Awakening of Malcolm X,” is described by publishers as “a powerful narrative account of the activist’s adolescent years in jail.”

“I had the opportunity to work with Tiffany T. Jackson, an award-winning novelist, and it provided the chance to focus on the See Malcolm on A8

“The men in the city have been failing these young men,” he said. “We need to stop being afraid of them. We forgot about what we went through and now we are afraid. I think some of these men are afraid to grab these young men because they are afraid of them.

“I think these men need to lift up their heads and grab these young men out these streets and talk to them. Instead of being afraid of them and talking about them, they need to get them and start talking to them.”

Boone says he looks at every encounter with an at-risk youth as an opportunity to positively impact their lives. He says if he can change the life of just one out of the group, then his goal has been

accomplished.

“I don’t look to grab a group, I look to grab one,” he said. “If it’s that one child, that one kid that may be among 15 or 20 kids, but it’s always gonna be one. And I don’t know which one it will be, but it will be one.”

Boone is hoping for 50 or more kids to come out to the event this afternoon.

THE CHRONICLE’S BUSINESS OF THE MONTH

Winston-Salem’s Sweet Sensations

BY BUSTA BROWN FOR THE CHRONICLE

“My grandmother’s name is Ruby and my mother’s name is Gaynell, they both passed. My grandmother inspired me to make homemade banana pudding, nut cakes, pound cakes, and biscuits. I’ll never forget how she carefully measured everything and placed them in the pans.

It was amazing how she was able to do all of that without a measuring cup or measuring spoon, and it still came out perfectly,” shared Wyomie Watson.

She joked about how excited she was to taste her grandmother’s baked treats. “I couldn’t wait for grandma to get that good baking in and then out of the oven because I already knew it was going to be delicious,” Wyomie said as we laughed.

learn this recipe.’ I said, why do I have to learn it, that’s why you’re here. She said, ‘One day I won’t be here, you need to learn.’”

That seed was planted and eventually grew.

In 2019 Wyomie and husband Eric Watson opened Ruby G’s Butter Crème Sensations. “We call it ‘Sensations’ because our butter crème recipe is sensational,” boasted Eric.

The Watsons said their biggest challenge is funding. “We got started in October of 2019, so we weren’t able to qualify for the PPP loan because we hadn’t been in business for two years at that time.”

But the word is quickly spreading about the newest sweet sensation in the Twin City.

Ruby G’s best sellers are their cheesecakes, pound cakes, and chocolate covered nuts. They also do special requests, such

plan to begin partnerships with other local businesses.

“We sell coffee, and I’d like to partner with a local business that produces coffee so I can purchase,” shared Wyomie.

Eric and Wyomie are the best of friends and very loving toward one another. It’s nice to see couples build a business based on the spirit of love and respect.

Where do Eric and Wyomie Watson see themselves in five years?

“We’ll have a storefront and get into corporate so we can take our business to its highest heights. Our

gave us one of the best compliments. We made a cake for their daughter’s first birthday and the family said that the cake made the best memory for their daughter’s first birthday. They said the cake not only looked amazing, but it tasted amazing as well. They said a lot of cakes look good, but don't taste good. That means a lot, especially when it’s your child’s first birthday.

“And Ruby G’s Butter Crème Sensations aims to please our customers.”

Barbie Pilla is one of their satisfied customers.

“Amazing cakes! We tried the carrot, German chocolate, 5-flavor and chocolate pound cake, and all were delicious. We’ll be back!”

Adam Starling is also a very satisfied customer.

He loved the Hershey bar cake. “My favorite is the 7-Up pound cake. It’s the first in 50 years to stand the test to my sister Eunice’s 7-Up pound cake.”

You’ll also love Ruby G’s strawberry orange cake, oatmeal cream pie

cheesecake, red velvet, rum, coconut, and more.

They also have delicious cookies, cupcakes, and more tasty treats.

Wyomie and Eric started their business from home, making cakes for family, friends and co-workers. Today you can experience Ruby G’s Crème Sensations at the Marketplace Mall in Winston-Salem.

“Community support is extremely important, and Winston has been very good to us,” shared the Watsons. “God is the reason any of this is possible. As a community, we must grow together and then reach back to help each other. We plan to open a center to teach youth and adults the fundamentals of baking from scratch because when you’re baking from scratch, there’s a lot to learn. When our youth learn this young, they will also be inspired to become business owners as well,” shared Wyomie.

Ruby G’s Crème Sensations donate cakes to different organizations and

motto is: The sky is not our limit; Heaven is. We aim to make your tastebuds feel heavenly because it’s not just about making money, it's also about making a connection with the community as one family.

We must support each other.”

“I discovered that my father was the star debater at an experimental rehabilitation facility which had inherited an enormous number of books,” she continued.

“Malcolm read just about every one of those books, and he read the dictionary so that he could understand the root words to enable him to be his best self by any means necessary.”

Shabazz denounced America’s spending of billions of dollars on mass incarceration instead of using the money to address skyrocketing tuition costs and afterschool programs.

She noted that much of her activism and the foundation for her beliefs are addressed in each of her books, “Growing Up X,” “Malcolm Little: The Boy Who Grew Up to Become Malcolm X,” “X: A Novel,” and “Before Betty X.” “I remember when I wrote ‘Growing Up X’ my mother had just passed away, and I recalled attending a town hall meeting with her where everyone got up to speak and acknowledged her,” Shabazz remembered.

“I admired my mother because she wasn’t there to say something great and leave. Instead, she was there to make a difference.

At that moment, though, I also remember thinking what we would ever do if we lost her.”

Betty Shabazz died in 1997, slightly more than 32 years after Malcolm X’s assassination.

“I wanted to finish some of the work my

misinformed, and there were so many false images and information about my father. My father was joy, dignity, and truth.

Unfortunately, the images portrayed by some were absolutely contradictory to all of that, so whenever people would meet my sisters and me, they were thrown off.”

Shabazz, who has implemented several cultural and community outreach initiatives, revealed that she and her sisters had enjoyed excellent relationships with the families of civil rights icons Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and

Medgar Evers.

“We are fortunate to have and have had relationships with Aunt Coretta (Scott-King) and Aunt Myrlie (Evers),” Shabazz stated. “I am also grateful to have [King’s daughter] as my sister.”

Shabazz echoed her father when discussing racism in America.

“If we all believe in the oneness of God, we certainly believe in the oneness of man, the oneness of women, and the oneness of humanity,” Shabazz declared.

“My father provided the biggest critique of America and insisted that America live up to her promise of liberty and

“I’m optimistic about this generation, and my father recognized that this generation of young people would be willing to roll up their sleeves and do the work necessary, and that’s what we are seeing.

Timothy Ramsey Sports Columnist

Will Newton find a home this season?

As we head into week seven of the NFL season, Cam Newton is still without a job and I am somewhat shocked about that. With all of the injuries and inefficient play we have seen from quarterbacks this year, I figured someone would have offered him a starting position by now.

Newton was released just before the start of the season by the New England Patriots, who chose to go with rookie quarterback Mac Jones instead of Newton. That was a surprising move by Belichick and the Patriots, but not unheard of by them.

It was reported that one of the issues leading up to Newton getting released by the Patriots was his vaccination status.

At that point he had not been vaccinated, as he stated, “the side effects weren’t beneficial to me.”

In a video published on his YouTube channel on Sunday, Newton said he has now been vaccinated against COVID-19 and would like to continue playing football in the NFL. “Hell yeah, I still want to play football,” Newton said in the video. “I still get that urge to go out and perform and do something that I’ve been doing since I was seven years old.”

Raylee Wilson named to CIAA all-conference team Getting to know your Rams

BY TIMOTHY RAMSEY THE CHRONICLE

PICKS BY JAMAAL FOWLER

Rylee Wilson (5’9”) - Setter (senior) - Northwest Guilford High graduate (2018) - Major: Rehabilitation Studies It was almost a foregone conclusion that Rylee Wilson was going to play volleyball. Her mother played the sport and she grew up watching her sister, so when her time came to play sports, of course she also gravitated toward volleyball as well.

Wilson is a senior on the WinstonSalem State University (WSSU) volleyball team. Early on in her playing career, she wasn’t even thinking about playing college volleyball, but during her sophomore year in high school she began to garner more attention and that soon became a reality.

For most of her career, Wilson was a hitter. After her freshman season she was switched to the setter position. She says playing as a setter is much more of a mental game than being a hitter, because you have to be strategic about where to place the ball.

“I like being a setter better,” said Wilson. “For me, it’s more of a mental game than anything else. I feel like setting gives me more to think about and being more strategic and look at the game in a different way.”

Education was big for Wilson growing up. When deciding which college she was going to attend, it was important for the school to have the educational requirements she was looking for.

“When I was looking into becoming a collegiate athlete, I wanted to make sure that my educational portion was as high on my list as volleyball was and I felt Winston was the best fit for that,” she said about choosing a college. “Also, when I came for my visit, it was very homey and was a family environment.

“They worked with me, because a lot of other schools were not allowing me to do my original major, which was nursing, and play volleyball, and Winston was one of the schools that was going to let me do both. I kind of admired that they would let me pursue my educational goals and my volleyball goals.”

Wilson is a graduate of Northwest Guilford High School, but spent much of her early life in the state of Maryland.

Northwest is one of the best high schools in the state and Wilson says her time there really prepared her for the rigors of college, on the court and in the classroom.

“I actually really enjoyed that school, so the transition to there was similar to

how I already was in school,” she said.

“Education was really high on our list and I know when my parents were looking for a school, that was the type of school they wanted. Something that was very educationally sound.

“So, I got a good piece of how hard I had to work in classes and learning how to teach myself. All the extracurricular activities and community service really prepared me for college really well.”

There were some growing pains that Wilson had to endure making the transition from high school to college sports. She quickly realized that everyone there played volleyball at a high level, but instead of looking at those early days as something negative, she used that to motivate her to get better.

“In high school, there’s like four or five good players on the team and everyone else is just out there to have fun, but in college, it’s like everybody was the best at their school, so the transition was definitely a little difficult in the beginning of my freshman year,” she says about her transition to playing college sports.

“I actually liked it because it created a challenge, whereas in high school I already knew I was going to be on a certain level, but college made you have to work and get a little hunger back into your game. The transition was difficult freshman year, but after that, it was all good.”

Wilson was a very busy student in high school with playing sports, schoolwork, and her extracurricular activities, so it See Rams on B6

great.

I think Newton would have fit in well with what the Texans do offensively.

His skill set is similar to Taylor’s in that they are both mobile and he would have brought another dimension to the offense with his short yardage running capabilities.

I thought Chicago was another spot where Newton could have landed. Yes, Bears drafted quarterback Justin Fields in the first round of the 2021 NFL draft, but they did start the season with veteran Andy Dalton and the team has said that Dalton is their starter once healthy. Fields has not played lights out thus far and maybe Newton could have been that buffer for a

few weeks, so they did not have to throw their rookie out there to the wolves.

With Newton on the team, the Bears could have waited until near the end of the season to play Fields. So far, Fields looks like he could have used a few more weeks on the sidelines watching, but now that he has played, there is no turning back.

Just seems like a wasted opportunity to save the young kid some growing pains.

I think the Miami Dolphins are enamored with the idea of bringing in Texans’ quarterback Deshaun Watson. I doubt they even considered Cam Newton as an option once their starting quarterback, Tua Tagovailoa, went down with injured ribs.

There have been too many whispers about the Dolphins wanting to move

away from Tagovailoa and I think they want their long-term solution instead of a short-term fix with Newton.

There are a couple of other teams that could possibly use Newton’s services, but if I were a betting man, I would not put any money on Newton playing this season, which is a shame. I would hate to see his career flame out without the chance to rekindle some of that past glory he enjoyed with the Panthers.

I know injuries have depleted some of the skills Cam once possessed.

However, I do feel he still brings a lot to the table and could help a team win.

He may not be the MVPlevel player he once was, but Newton still has some gas left in the tank, so let’s hope some team gives him his next opportunity.

Elder Richard Wayne Wood Sunday School Lesson

Praise God with Music Scriptures: Psalms 149:1-5, 150:1-6 By the end of this lesson, we will: *Compare the reason for expressions of praising God in two psalms; *Gain spiritual inspirations by various types of praise music and hymns; *Praise God using the psalms.

Background: Psalms is a collection of poetic prayers divided into five books. The division into books is marked by the insertion of doxologies at the end of each book. Psalm 149 gives a summary of every psalm that comes before it and provides a charge for believers in the future. It also challenges God’s people to give God their best effort when praising Him. Psalm 150 serves as a concluding doxology for Book V and The Book of Psalms as a whole.

Lesson: A Call to Praise (Psalm 149:1-3). Hallelujah is Hebrew for “Praise the Lord” and is the subtitle for Psalms 146 – 150 (FYI). The first three verses of the Psalm are a normal call to praise for God’s deliverance of His people. The “new song” can be interpreted as a song of testimony concerning salvation or as a song to be sung in the future at the final destiny of the soul and mankind. “The congregation of the faithful” includes the whole nation of believers (verse 1). When the psalm was written, Judah was not independent and had no human king, God is their king (verse 2). The people are encouraged to dance, sing and play instruments (verse 3).

God Delights in Praise (verses 4-5). The people are reminded that they sing praises to God because of the great pleasure it brings to God, “For the Lord delights in His people.” This is a reminder that God not only “deserves” their praises, but He also “enjoys” them.

Verse 5 tells us that the saints should also sing praises to God at night in private. “Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their beds.” (verse 5).

The Focus of Praise (Psalm 150:1-6). The last psalm in The Book of Psalms serves as doxology for the entire book. Every verse has a command to praise. As the final song of praise, it answers four key questions about praise. (1) Where should God be praised? Everywhere.

God does not dwell in the Temple. He dwells in the sky, so heaven is His temple. The sky or “firmaments of His power” (verse 1) enlarges the site of praise to include the whole world. (2) Why should God be praised?

For His powerful deeds on behalf of men and for His inherent greatness. Praising God for His “mighty acts’’ is a tribute to His nature and words of His deeds should be put to music (verse 2). (3) How should God be praised? With every suitable instrument man can offer, stringed, wind and percussion. There are six commands to praise in verses 3-6. With man’s God-given creativity and artistry, there should be a symphony of praise with great joy and heartfelt emotions (verses 3-5). (4) Who should praise God? Everything that breathes – all creatures in the world. “In the beginning God created…”

Prepare your heart for the joys of the season with daily Advent and Christmas devotions

CLEVELAND, Ohio - As one of our holiest and busiest times of year fast approaches, it’s natural to get caught up in the tasks of the season shopping, crafting, baking, decorating, and perhaps traveling.

You can bring more meaning and clarity to all of your holiday experiences by spending just a few minutes each day in peaceful reflection.

Father Dr. Maurice Emelu offers readers a daily, prayerful walk with God’s Word in his new, seven-volume series, ”An Encounter: A Daily Discovery in Divine Word.” In volume one, Fr. Emelu offers insights and Bible verses to accompany the seasons of Advent and Christmas.

“I wrote most of these reflections before the blessed Sacrament. In the presence of the Lord, I found the serenity and peace of soul that inspired more profound, prayerful sentiments within me,” Fr. Emelu said. “I then began to dialogue with God’s words.”

Drawing upon his West African roots and Catholic spirituality, as well as his many years of pastoral ministry, Fr. Emelu combines the story-telling

culture of Africa with a Western worldview to offer a unique perspective on faith-life and what it means to grow closer to the Lord. He communicates his sentiments and ideas in compelling, relatable ways and applies them to today’s realities. Each passage aims to heal, inspire, teach, and encourage through the power of God’s Word.

The next two volumes in Fr. Emelu’s An Encounter series focus on messages for the seasons of Lent and Easter. The topics of future volumes will be announced soon.

An Encounter is suitable for both personal and group faith sharing for anyone seeking a daily walk with God. It would be the perfect gift for your pastor or loved one.

“Alone with God, the

reader hears words that the noisy world often silences,” he said. “Call them a boost for the day or a spiritual companion for everyday life. They are empowering words meant to accompany readers on their own journey of life as they continue to discover the gentle Word of God.” About the Author Father Maurice Nkem Emelu, Ph.D., is a priest of the Catholic Diocese of Orlu in Nigeria, and the founder of Gratia Vobis Ministries, Inc., a global ministry for cross-cultural Catholic evangelization and works of charity. He is an assistant professor of digital media and communication at John Carroll University in the United States. The author of seven books and over 700 blogs and professional

articles, he provides robust cross-cultural educational programs through digital media. He is the host of EWTN’s The Faith with Father Maurice and the host/executive producer of Word for a Wounded World teaching series, plus numerous other television and radio works in the global Catholic network. He holds a Ph.D. from Liverpool Hope University, UK, focusing on digital storytelling, media aesthetics and theology, among other academic degrees. An encounter with the Lord when he was 14 changed him in fundamental ways, and today he describes himself as “passionately in love with God and His body, the Church.”

that looks like you, being able to compete and excel within that, encourages others to know that they can have a seat at the table and get involved in those things as well,” she said.

“I think it certainly adds some weight in being able to represent for the other African American girls out there that are interested in golf and want to explore that possibility, to let them know you can go out there and be just as great; to get a scholarship and excel is an amazing feeling.”

Throughout her time playing at Mt. Tabor

Ingram never thought that she would end up in the HOF. The HOF was recently created as she was finishing up her prep career and her focus was to win the state championship, so her entire focus was placed on that goal.

“At the time I didn’t think about the hall of fame, I was thinking about winning and competing in each event. But it’s certainly great to be acknowledged and be inducted into the hall of fame for all the things that I accomplished.”

For Your Consideration: What does the phrase, “the Lord taketh pleasure in His people,” mean to you?

What do you think of “contemporary gospel”?

Does it meet the criteria of “new song”? Can you name two reasons for praising God? Application: Psalms has the most chapters of

any book in the Bible, because there are so many ways to sing to God and to bring Him praise! Take a moment to list some things you enjoy about God. Use the items on your list to write a song, poem, or prayer. You may surprise yourself and delight God. “God inhabits the praises of His people” (Psalm 22:3).

Psi Phi Chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity installs new officers SUBMITTED ARTICLE

Leaders instill in their people a hope for success and a belief in themselves.

Positive leaders empower their people to accomplish their goals.

On Oct. 13 Psi Phi Chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc., installed its chapter officers for the 2021-2022 fiscal year. The installation took place at the Omega Friendship Center in WinstonSalem.

Officers installed by position for the upcoming year are as follows: Bro. Andre C. Crawley-Basileus, Bro. Carlos Roseboro-Vice Basileus, Bro. Richard Watkins-Keeper of Records and Seal, Bro. Byron Sample-Assistant Keeper of Records and Seal, Bro. Michael FultonKeeper of Finance, Bro. Joseph Bruinton-

was not a tough adjustment to the college life for her. She has always had good time management skills, so finding time to get everything done is something she is used to.

The pandemic was another tough adjustment for Wilson. The limitations on practice time and working out was tough on Wilson and her teammates.

The silver lining for her is that she is a coach for Twin City Volleyball Academy, so she was able to get her “touches” in. She is just happy she can get back into playing and end her career the way she wants.

When deciding on where she wanted to attend college, Wilson’s mother wanted her to attend an HBCU because she had attended one herself.

Wilson says she wasn’t necessarily seeking out an HBCU, but saw it as a plus to attend one that also had addressed her educational needs.

Wilson was named to the preseason allconference team for the CIAA. “I was really surprised, honestly,” she said. “I didn’t even realize until the middle of the day when my mom texted

New officers of Psi Phi Chapter are installed on Oct. 13.

Assistant Keeper of Finance, Bro. Brian McMillan-Chaplain, Bro. Barry Roundtree-Parliamentarian, Bro. Vance Cabiness-Keeper of Peace.

Psi Phi Chapter congratulates these brothers and looks forward to working with them throughout the coming fiscal year.

me. It was nice, but I am not one for the spotlight or getting awards, so it’s just nice to be recognized to know I helped my team in a way that it got me the accolade.”

So far this season, it has been up and down for the Rams’ volleyball team.

Wilson is hoping to finish off the year on a positive note, especially with all the young players they have on the team.

“We have had a little bit of a rocky start, because I feel like it’s kind of like a rebuild year, because a lot of us are really young,” she said about the season.

“I definitely enjoy my team and wouldn’t change my team for anything, but it definitely has been a process, but a good learning process. I think it will help them after I am gone for next year.”

As one of the veterans on the team, Wilson likes to give words of wisdom and advice to the younger players on how to deal with adversity and the things she notices on the court.

“When I can, in practice I try to give a little wisdom on what can and can’t be done, because my coaches asked me to do that by taking more of a leadership role,” she stated.

To help get her mind off of playing, Wilson actually enjoys going to watch her sister play sand volleyball. She also enjoys hanging out with friends, watching Netflix, going to the movies, going bowling, or roller skating.

Above all else, a good nap is what she enjoys most when not playing.

“I am very simple, so any type of activity that allows me to get away for a second, I really enjoy,” she said. “I also really enjoy painting - I forgot to mention that - I paint a lot.

That is kind of my escape from the busy life.”

Wilson plans to go to nursing school right after graduation. She enjoys working with individuals with substance abuse issues. She plans to obtain her nursing degree and would love to become a traveling nurse as a dream job.

Wilson realizes that her college career is quickly coming to an end. She looks back fondly on her time as a Ram and says she will miss it very much. She also would love to continue to coach volleyball in the future on the high school level or even assist on the collegiate level as well.

The C hronicle

Refresh My Memory

BY CINDY ARGIENTO

“If I suddenly got amnesia and couldn’t recall our life together, would you be upset?” I asked my husband.

“Is this a trick question?” he asked after careful consideration.

“Well, the husband in the movie I watched was pretty upset when his wife had amnesia and didn’t

bedroom. Frantic and not paying attention to where she was going, she tripped and fell down a flight of stairs, bumping her head on every step. She should never have been running in high heels. The result of all the head bopping was amnesia. Her husband seemed concerned and loving until the end when it was revealed he had hired someone to kill her

then be responsible for recapping my life up till that point.”

“So, let me get this straight. You get amnesia, can’t remember anything, and it’s up to me to remind you of your likes and dislikes. Essentially, it would be like starting over with a new, empty-headed and impressionable you.

I could tell you anything and you’d believe it,” my husband answered. Then after a pause, he continued.

“So I could tell you that you never nagged me to pick my underwear up off the floor. I could tell

you it was an insult to me that you assumed when I did pick up my underwear without your prodding, it was a sign of foreplay.

You would not be able to proclaim with certainty that I don’t listen to you since all past conversations have been erased from memory. You would no longer call me an “idiot” for buying you the wrong flavor of ice cream as you no longer know what flavor is your favorite. You would no longer argue with me over what movie to see as my taste in films is now yours.”

I could almost see the wheels spinning in his mind as he imagined the hypothetical advantages.

“The possibilities of how great our new life would be are staggering.

I wonder what it would be like to have a wife who always agrees with me. I wonder what it would be like to have a wife who praises me instead of rolling her eyes at me on a daily basis. I wonder what it would be like to have a wife who wanted to be up close and personal, daily.”

Amused, he continued.

“I wonder what the

downside would be if you got amnesia. I wonder exactly how hard someone would have to be hit on the head to get amnesia.”

“I don’t know,” I replied, eyeing him suspiciously.

“I do know, however, this is one conversation I hope to forget.”

Cindy Argiento remember him. Obviously from your answer, TV husbands get upset by a wife with amnesia and real life husbands, not so much.”

“Tell me exactly how she got amnesia,” my husband asked with sudden interest.

“Well, she was running from someone who had just broken into her

in order to collect her life insurance. You find out she was loaded.”

“You’ll never have to worry that I will hire someone to kill you for your money since $1.50 doesn’t go far these days,” he said, suppressing a chuckle.

“OK, wise guy, but the question was – would you be upset if I got amnesia?
