Lambson is first female football coach in n.C. W I N S TO N - S A L E M , N . C .

Volume 42, Number 5

By TeVin STinSon The ChroniCLe

Sports history was made last month when the junior varsity squads from Winston-Salem Preparatory Academy (WSPA) and Parkland high School faced off at deaton-Thompson Stadium.

According to the n.C. high School Athletic Association, Angela Lambson, head coach for the Winston-Salem Prep JV team, became the first female to coach a high school football

team. “it’s pretty awesome,” said Lambson. “i honestly never thought i’d be coaching on the high school level.”

Although new to the bright lights of the high school football stage, Lambson has proven over the years that she has what it takes to win football games. Before becoming the head coach at Prep, she made a name for herself coaching local youth teams. in 2013, Lambson turned the WinstonSalem Tiny rams 8th Grade unlimited

division team into champions when they brought home the American youth Football League (AyFL) national Championship.

Lambson, better known as “Queen” throughout the city, has playing experience as well. From 2000 to 2003, she was a member of the Carolina Cougars, a local women’s professional team located in Greensboro.

CAMPAIGN

By Todd LuCk The ChroniCLe

Presidential candidate Ben Carson spoke to a packed crowd Tuesday afternoon at Berean Baptist Church.

Carson, one of the leading republican presidential candidates, is a retired John hopkins neurosurgeon who is famous for his work separating conjoined twins.

Carson has no political experience and gained national attention for a speech he made at the 2013 national Prayer Breakfast, while President Barack obama was in attendance, in which he talked about conservative ideas like a flat tax, health savings accounts and how “dangerous" political correctness is.

The Carson campaign picked Berean Baptist because its pastor, dr. ronnie L. Baity, founded return American in 2006 to “stand up for Judeo/Christian values.” The organization has rallied against gay marriage and for Christian prayer at county commissioner meetings.

during his speech, Carson once again decried secular progressives, who he claimed were attempting to remove God from the country. he said progressives have demonized him and lied about his positions.

“The thing i will tell you about progressives, is they feel like if you belong to a certain race, that you have to think a certain way,” he told the largely white crowd. ”They don’t believe that if you are black that you have the ability to be an independent thinker, and you know what that’s called? racism.” he claimed political correctness was used by progressives to shut down conversation on opposing views. he said people need to express opposition to what’s happening in the united States. he said that many

Germans didn’t agree with hitler, but didn’t speak out against the nazi, leading to atrocities and tyranny in that country.

“We have to stop sitting down and shutting up,” he said.

Cason has garnered attention for his controversial remarks, like one on a recent “Meet the Press,” where he said a Muslim shouldn’t be president and that islam is incompatible with the Constitution. he did not address that during the speech on Tuesday, but did talk about his earlier controversial remarks on the Affordable Care Act, or obamacare, in which he said it is the worst thing to happen in the nation since slavery. he said those remarks weren’t because he didn’t want people to have healthcare.

“The reason i was so opposed to it, is because instead of having a country where the people dictate the course, with the Affordable Care Act, the government comes along and says ‘This is what we’re doing, we don’t care what you think, we’re going cram it down your throat. if you don’t

on Tuesday, Sept. 29, republican presidential candidate Ben Carson visited Winston-Salem. Carson made an appearance at Berean Baptist Church, 2135 Thomasville road.

While Carson spoke and shook hands, across town at emmanuel Baptist Church, 1075 Shalimar drive, The Ministers’ Conference of Winston-Salem and Vicinity held a press conference to protest Carson’s position on Muslims in politics. during a recent interview with Chuck Todd of nBC, the hopeful republican candidate made derogatory remarks about Muslims in political positions.

When asked if he believed islam was consistent with

the Constitution, he said he would not agree with a Muslim becoming president. “no, i do not. i would not advocate that we put a Muslim in charge of this nation. i absolutely would not agree with that,” Carson said.

According to reports, Carson is second in national polls of republicans running for the nomination.

Bishop Todd Fulton, president of The Ministers’ Conference of Winston-Salem and Vicinity said he was disappointed that Carson would make such a statement.

“We are disappointed that a man whose ancestors were slaves and oppressed in this country for years would make such a statement,” said Fulton. “We are troubled and disturbed by his comments.”

Fulton and other members of the conference believe faith or religion should never come into question when it

Everyone seemed to be in great spirits despite the rain. “The music was fantastic,� said Travis Davis, who came out to see Kirk Franklin and Mercy Me with his girlfriend.

Kimberly White said the rain dampened the mood a little bit, but not too bad and was most excited to see one of her favorite bands, Mercy Me as well.

Kirk Franklin, who spoke with The Chronicle last week before the festival, said, “I want to make sure people feel unified, and celebrate a great sense of unity within the community, and I’m very glad to be a part of that.� Franklin also touched on his favorite Scripture: Romans 8:28, which reads: “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.� (King James Version) “They speak to that different place in your life, so for me, I enjoy them all,�

Easton historic marker unveiled

BY TODD LUCK THE CHRONICLE

The Easton Neighborhood got its own historic marker on Saturday.

The marker, erected by the Forsyth County Historic Resource Commission, sits at the intersection of Woodcote Street and Clemmonsville Circle at a main entrance to the neighborhood.

It denotes the origins of Easton as a subdivision built for veterans’ housing during Winston-Salem’s housing shortage. The 1944 GI Bill gave low-interest loans to veterans and promoted housing construction. Almost identical houses where created to qualify for government-subsidized mortgages. It has since become a diverse, largely minority community.

The ceremony to unveil the marker happened on a rainy day, as residents sat under a tent listening to remarks from Mayor Allen Joines, Mayor Pro Tempore Vivian Burke, Historic Resource Commissioner Linda Dark and Paula McCoy, president of Neighbors for Better Neighborhoods, which has been involved in revitalizing the neighborhood.

City Council Member James Taylor, who represents the Southeast Ward, which Easton is in, said it was the residents that made the neighborhood great. “I always say that strong families make strong communities that are the backbone of the city of Winston-Salem,� he said.

Taylor was born and raised in neighboring Belview. He said it was the people in this area of the city that helped him, and many others, get to where they are today. “It takes a village to raise a young man or young women, a good village, a good community, and, like I said, Easton was built on that,� Taylor said.

The marker also describes the work of the Easton Neighborhood Association, which formed in 1988. The group’s president is Robert Leak III, whose late grandfather Robert Leak Sr. was past president of the association. Leak, who was groomed by his grandfather to lead the group, started grassroots organizing when he was 12 years old and became association president at age 19. At the time, he told Joines that Easton would be a turnaround community. “During that period, when Easton was going through a lot of drug activity, prostitution, etc., I had in my spirit I wanted to step up to the plate and do something, and God allowed me to be the president,� he said.

Leak, now 26, said the neighborhood has vastly improved. He said with the

The Easton Neighborhood got its own historic marker on Saturday. Sept. 26 help of Taylor and the City Council, the association was able to demolish 15 boarded-up properties.

Easton has gotten welcome signs with flowerbeds at neighborhood entrances, new playground equipment and resurfaced basketball courts since then. Three years ago, the association, in cooperation with the Winston-Salem Police Department, formed a neighborhood crime watch, which Leak said has caused crime to greatly decrease.

Leak, who works as a small grants coordinator for Neighbors for Better Neighborhoods, said NBN helped train him to be a community leader from a young age. He said the Easton Association has gotten more than $3,500 in grants in the last seven years through NBN for beautifying the neighborhood, training residents and community days.

Leak said the neighborhood continues to change as more renters are now living there and the associ-

TORI P. HAYNESWORTH FOR THE CHRONICLE

The Susan G. Komen Northwest NC held its annual Race for the Cure on a rainy Saturday, Sept. 26 ,at the BB&T Ballpark in downtown Winston-Salem. In spite of the weather, about 3,000 participants still came out to support the cause.

The race supports research to fight breast cancer. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

There were several vendors of information about breast cancer, healthy snacks for participants after the race, and a memorial decorated for loved ones remembered who lost their fight to the disease. The Winston-Salem Dash mascot was also there, with a host of supporters and volunteers on the sidelines cheering for those involved. “We are always focused on spreading the word about breast health and available resources,� said Sarah Thompson, financial, volunteer management and Hispanic outreach coordinator. “Many people think we are just the Race, but we do so much more.�

According to Thompson, the Faces of Breast Cancer are individuals who spread awareness about breast health, the importance of early detection and available resources for those in need in the community. Kelly Cason, one of the Faces for Forsyth County was in the race. This was her second year participating, but her first time having a team with her that consists of family, friends and co-workers.

T H E C H R ON I C LE

“I joined Komen NW January 2015 as a face of Forsyth County,� said Cason. “I actually began raising money prior to being on the Komen committee at Pepsico, where I am employed, three years prior to being diagnosed in November 2012.�

For most women, breast cancer can be a part of their family health history. In Cason’s case, this wasn’t so, even though she performed a gene test. “Coincidently, my mom’s sister was diagnosed on the same day as I was, with a different breast cancer and stage three. We fought together the last couple of years until she sadly lost her battle at the beginning of this year,� Cason Cason said.

Cason has battled breast cancer three times: 2012, 2014 and March of this year. Even though she is currently cancer free, she still seeks preventative treatments at Wake Health Cancer Center. Cason has mentioned how thankful she has been that Komen Northwest NC’s research money has assisted her in fighting the disease, which is why she has dedicated herself to the program.

Another Faces of Breast Cancer from the previous year (2014) is Sherry Dixon.

Dixon has been participating in the races since 2003, and Team Pinky was formed in 2013 in honor of her sister, Donna Marie.

In her case, it has been a family health his-

tory, since her grandmother was diagnosed, while living to be 83 years old before she lost the battle. “I was the first co-survivor chosen to be a Face,� said Dixon. “A co-survivor is one who has not been diagnosed with breast cancer but has closely helped a family member through the plight of fighting the illness.�

Dixon also stated that she has been involved with Komen Northwest NC since it first began. She speaks at local events and churches in Forsyth and Guilford counties about breast health, as well as being the anchorage for Team Pinky. “Check your breasts and stay current with your yearly visits,� said Cason. “Breast cancer is killing African-American women at an alarming rate. Especially young women. Check and go with your intuition if something feels off. Breast cancer does not have to be in your family for you to get it.� “To my African-American sisters, I want them to know that statistically we are

less likely to get breast cancer than Caucasian women,� Dixon said. “However, we are 77 percent more likely to die from the disease once it’s diagnosed.

Why? Well, most times it’s diagnosed at a later stage and it’s often a more aggressive form of the disease, known as the Triple Negative. Breast cancer is the number one cancer health among black women, that’s what I want my sisters to know. Early detection is the key to fighting this illness and winning.�

The Susan G. Komen Northwest NC has raised $111,000 so far. The fundraiser is still open until Nov. 2 to those who still wish to make a donation for continued research, mammography screenings and more. Many of the teams turn in their funds after the race.

By tevIn stInson the ChronICle

on Friday, sept. 25, students from Winstonsalem state University and Carver high school came together to mark the start of JraMs, a new tutoring and mentoring program for 10th-graders.

JraMs stands for Jackets and rams achieving Maximum success and is only offered at Carver high school. the purpose of the program is to assist students in rising up and taking those first crucial steps in becoming what they want to be in the future. In addition to mentoring and academic support, the students who participate in the program will also have opportunities to be apart of the WssU culture.

By attending athletic

events and cultural events on campus, the high school students will get a chance to experience what life is really like on a college campus. students will also participate in field trips, hear monthly inspirational speakers and participate in a number of workshops.

During the celebration to mark the beginning of the program, sophomores shawanna ladson and Jakyia vance said they were excited about getting a chance to be a part of the new program.

“I’m excited to get a chance to go on the campus and learn from the college students,” ladson said. vance said she hasn’t met with her mentor yet, but joined the program to get a little taste of what the college life is all about.

about college and see what everything is about.” vance said.

Coordinators of the program believe the mentor relationship along with the other opportunities are not only to support student academics, but also to support personal growth and student leadership.

Dr. trae Cotton, vice chancellor of student affairs at WssU, spoke during the ceremony and said he was delighted to see his students getting involved in the community.

Center for Design Innovation opens new facility to public

Wake Forest Innovation Quarter, home of scitech Institute and Bailey Park, welcomed a new tenant that is dedicated to creative expression, technology expansion and scientific discovery to the community last week. the Center for Design Innovation (CDI), now located at 450 Design ave., moved into its new 24,000-square-foot facility in the spring and held its public grand opening on Wednesday, sept. 23.

Designed with the assistance of CDI's founding partners – Winston-salem state University, Forsyth technical Community College and the University of north Carolina school of the arts – the facility will be open to all members of the community who want to learn, conduct research and experiment with technology.

“CDI is as much campus-facing as community-facing, with forums and projects scaled 10-fold with spaces and tools to allow the community to take their ideas further,” said executive Director Pamela Jennings.

Funded through the University of north Carolina system, the three-story, modern, flexible facility houses millions of dollars worth of equipment within multiple design studios, MaKer labs, a multi-purpose activity floor, a digital manufacturing shop, a data center and the CUBe. the CUBe is a three-story, windowless

cement room that can be used for research, design projects, workshops and classes.

“It is almost all digital,” said systems architect richard Phillips.

Its digital technology includes a slowmotion camera that can be used for scientific research to view things “too fast to see but too important not to” and 3D scanning equipment that replaces traditional blueprints by providing high resolution, globally accessible measurements, according to Phillips. although all the programming has not been specified yet, CDI hopes to design Jennings programs for lifelong learners and children.

CDI will also continue to work with its founding partners by expanding the number of classes taught at their facility and providing co-curricular activities for the students. Center officials also plan to collaborate on projects across multiple institutions of higher learning in the triad area. now that CDI has a permanent location, officials are looking forward to expanding their programming and opening their doors to the community.

CDI is open to the public from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Free parking is available. For more information visit cdiunc.org.

“It is always a pleasure to see my rams working in the community,” Cotton said. “everyone behind this program together is ready to help these students be all they can be.”

Many of the mentors and tutors volunteered for the program. tyree Wilkes, a rising WssU junior, said he volunteered for the program because he had worked with similar programs back home and wanted to get more involved in this community.

“I found out about the program from a organization on campus, they said they really needed mentors for the males in the program, so I wanted to do my part to help the community.” a number of dignitaries attended the kickoff celebration, including: Wiinston-salem/Forsyth County sschools superintendent Beverly emory, Mayor Pro tempore vivian h. Burke, and Police Chief Barry D. rountree.

During the opening of the celebration, travis taylor, principal of Carver high school, expressed how excited he was about the program.

“I am very excited for this program to be kicking off right here at Carver, said taylor. “our students are eager to meet their

mentors and take those steps to mapping out their futures.” after the ceremony in the auditorium, the mentors and students gathered in the cafeteria for food and fun. this allowed the students time to meet a number of the college students and directors of the program.

Cotton said he believes his students are ready to make a difference.

“I know my students are ready to make a difference in the lives of these students, and this program is perfect for that.” other partners who helped put the JraMs Program together include Grace Presbyterian Church, on Carver school road, and Big Brother, Big sister of Winston-salem.

equipment stolen from oddfellows Cemetery site The caretaker house at Oddfellows Cemetery was broken into last month.

By ToDD lUCK THe CHroniCle

The caretaker house at the historic oddfellows Cemetery was broken into last month, and equipment that has been used for upkeep of the historic black cemetery was stolen.

The break-in was discovered by James Clyburn, president of the nonprofit Friends of the oddfellows, which works to restore the cemetery located at 2881 Shorefair Drive. on Sept. 5, Clyburn made a regular stop to check on the e cemetery and had brought some rlunch to eat in the caretaker house.

When he entered the building, he nsaw a saw glass on the floor from a swindow someone broke and nopened to gain entry. The equipdment the group stores in the locked -building was in disarray. Two -Craftsman push lawnmowers, five sgardening shears and other donated -equipment were stolen. “i was just disgusted,” said Clyburn sClyburn, who called the police. o For more than 15 years, Friends of the odd Fellows has been working to clean up the scemetery, which was started by black fraternal groups in -1911. The 10-acre cemetery had fallen into disrepair, and evolunteers have made strides in clearing large sections mthat had been overgrown with trees, kudzu and bushes.

There are about 10,000 African-Americans buried in the ocemetery, the oldest of whom were former slaves.

S The lawnmowers are the only two owned by the eorganization and are used to mow the grass in a large nwooded section of the cemetery. A volunteer does monthlly mowing in the rest of the cemetery with his own riding glawnmower. The group is still figuring out how what it will do about the missing equipment because insurance only covered replacing the window.

Clyburn said he doesn’t know how the intruder or intruders got into the cemetery, which is fenced off from ShoreFair Drive. The group keeps the cemetery’s gate locked when not in use.

The group holds a regular clean-up day on every third Saturday from 9 a.m. to noon. The cemetery has also become a regular destination for volunteers on Dr. Martin luther King Jr. Day, when a massive cleanup event is held.

Clyburn said he hopes anyone with a tip on the breakin can will contact the police.

Those wishing to make donations to Friends of the odd Fellows can call Clyburn at 336-723-6452 or mail checks to Friends of odd Fellows inc., 100 Alice St., Winston-Salem, nC 27105.

Barbee oakes, a recognized leader in diversity, has been appointed as Wake Forest University’s first chief diversity officer. oakes retains her assistant provost title and responsibilities, developed over her six years in that role.

“As our first chief diversity officer, Barbee is beautifully positioned to advance strategic planning and execution of Wake Forest’s diversity and inclusion initiatives,” said Wake Forest Provost rogan Kersh. “She will confer regularly with the president’s cabinet, deans, governance boards and the larger campus community on issues involving the University’s progress on inclusive excellence initiatives.” oakes has her sights set on several high-priority goals for this year and beyond.

“Continuing to proactively address campus climate issues remains a very high university priority this year,” oakes said. “With increased diversity, the challenges we face in establishing policies, programs and practices to ensure everyone feels iincluded become more Oakes complex and nuanced.”

While moving forward, she is also focused on documenting how far Wake Forest has come on diversity and inclusion efforts.

“Wake Forest has made tremendous progress in transforming our institutional culture to foster inclusive excellence during the past five years,” said oakes. “our vision was to redefine diversity at Wake Forest, enhance the cultural elasticity of our faculty, staff, and students; and establish equitable institutional policies and programs. our office of Diversity and inclusion now encompasses Multicultural Affairs, lGBTQ Center, Women’s Center, Diversity education, Diversity and inclusion associate deans, a network of campus partnerships, cultural competence initiatives, diversity admissions professionals and institutional policy revisions to foster equity for underrepresented faculty, staff and students.” oakes received her bachelor’s and master’s degrees at Wake Forest and her doctorate in exercise physiology and nutrition at the University of Tennessee at Knoxville. She was a member of the Health and exercise Science faculty at Wake Forest before serving as director of the office of Multicultural Affairs from 1995-2009. oakes was also a faculty member at Penn State and Arizona State universities.

state budget

It is too generous to call the new state budget a spending plan. It is a spending reaction. Leaders should have a plan, a goal. This is a budget drawn by ideologues who blinked. Much of what is laid out in the $21.7 billion budget is determined by mandatory responses to growth in education and Medicaid costs.

There's also an ``I'm sorry'' restoration of the medical expense deduction for seniors, a removal that provoked a strong reaction from a constituency the GOP must win.

And there are ``never mind'' elements in the decision not to follow the state Senate's call to eliminate funding for teacher assistants and driver's education, proposals that provoked teachers and parents alike.

The budget that arrived two months late is not the draconian version the Senate approved. The House – and public outcry – took the sharpest edges off the Senate's cuts. But the modified version is hardly moderate and a long way from adequate.

There are a few positive elements. Community colleges, a resource for young people and workers displaced by the Great Recession, received a significant boost in funding. The legislature did not, as threatened, gut funding for the job-creating N.C. Biotechnology Center. ts.”

And starting teacher pay will be boosted from $33,000 to $35,000. The state's reserve fund was prudently bolstered.

But overall the budget, given inflation and population growth, remains mired at recession levels.

While other states invest surpluses to increase stagnant state employee and teachers' salaries, North Carolina's legislature proposes a one-shot $750 bonus and gives away the recovery's growing revenue in tax cuts to wealthy individuals and profitable, multi-state corporations that will take, but hardly need, the state's largesse.

Middle- and low-income wage earners won't see a meaningful boost from the tax cuts. But they will feel the bite of an expanded sales tax that applies to the cost of auto and household repairs. And they'll see a state in decline, its public schools strapped, its public employees stiffed for yet another year and its infrastructure fraying.

Meg Wiehe, state tax policy director for the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy, a nonprofit, nonpartisan group that advocates tax fairness, says North Carolina is virtually alone in the nation in giving away the fruits of recovery. ``It's very counter to what we've seen in other states where revenue has come back and states are making investments to make up for cuts during the recession,'' Wiehe says.

The only other state indulging in repeated tax cuts is Ohio, Wiehe says, but Ohio has approved a federally funded expansion of its Medicaid program and added an earned income tax credit for low-wage earners. North Carolina, along with 18 other states, is still rejecting the billions of federal health care dollars expansion would bring and has eliminated its earned income tax credit.

If North Carolina's Republican leaders really had a spending plan, they wouldn't have needed an extra two months to get it through a legislature with Republican super majorities in both houses.

What they came up with is a budget that follows trickle-down theories even as more Republicans rebel against that folly. Donald Trump is leading the field of Republican presidential candidates by saying he will increase taxes on the rich and won't let ``hedge fund guys rip off the people by paying no or very little in taxes.''

Most North Carolinians understand that the state won't prosper simply by making the prosperous more so. That's why an August Public Policy Polling poll found the General Assembly's approval rating at 15 percent versus a 60 percent disapproval.

Republicans have one more year of legislative control before they face a reckoning with voters.

Between now and then, they'll need to show they can lead rather than cut, react, restore and guess at how much voters will tolerate.

Look at facts, not fiction when discussing video of “There are Planned Parenthood

a few positive elemen

From The News & Observer of Raleigh

To the Editor: I am forever grateful that I live in a country with a Constitution that guarantees freedom of speech and freedom of press. But I don’t believe that those who authored the First Amendment intended it to protect the verbal and written dissemination of lies, the spreading of vicious untruthful statements as fact, and the disingenuous manipulation of digital technology to falsely construct and piece together sentences that were never uttered by the people to whom they were attributed.

Yes, I’m talking about the video attack on Planned Parenthood…and the repetition of these lies and untruths by the Republican candidates at the debate on Sept.

16, except for Dr. Ben Carson who, himself, admits to having done research using fetal tissue.

Let’s get some facts straight:

•Three teams of forensic experts discovered at least 42 splices where content is cut and edited together to create seamless statements from unrelated sentences. The New York Times, New England Journal of Medicine, NPR, FactCheck.org,

Washington Post, Guardian, The Nation, Huffington Post are just a sample of mainstream media who agree that the video claims are clearly untrue.

•A Planned Parenthood staff member stated nine times in one video that there is no profit related to fetal tissue donation; all nine statements are edited out. Legitimate bioresearch companies affirm that Planned Parenthood is most likely losing money when donating fetal tissue because the costs of collection, processing, and records management exceed the $30-$100 they receive.

These are just 2 of many examples of how the fraudulent biomedical research company, Biomax Procurement Services, created a firestorm of untruths about Planned Parenthood and fetal tissue donation.

Verifiable facts about Planned Parenthood according to latest statistics: •2.7 million women, men and young people annually visit a Planned Parenthood health care center. Services included 400,000 pap tests, 500,000 breast exams, 4.5 million tests and treatment for sexually transmitted illnesses including 700,000 HIV tests.

•80 percent of clients receive contraceptive information and services to prevent unintended pregnancies.

•3 percent of all health services are abortions.

•78 percent of the clients are at or below the federal poverty level.

Defunding Planned Parenthood because you don’t agree with 3 percent of its work spitefully denies the other 97 percent of its services to the

Jeb Bush appeals to ugliest part of the GOP

To the Editor: In response to Jeb Bush's comments in South Carolina on Sept. 24 [See page A8]: Jeb Bush either has no idea what he’s talking about or he’s a cynical politician appealing to the ugliest elements of the Republican Party.

Either way he is unfit to lead this country.

Sadly, Jeb Bush’s comments reflect a Republican Party that, while touting policies that benefit a select few at the very top, is falling over itself to alienate more and more Americans every single day. In just the last few weeks we’ve witnessed Republican presidential candidates insult African-Americans, Muslims, Hispanics, Asian-Americans and women.

"It’s an odd electoral strategy in a multicultural society."

Michael Tyler Democratic National Committee director of African-American media

A moral action for climate change is needed William J. Barber

Guest Columnist This is a prepared address by the Rev. Dr. William J. Barber II in Washington, D.C., Sept. 24 at the Moral Action for Climate Change Rally as Pope Francis came the United States: We gather here today as one human family to raise our moral voices and to welcome Pope Francis and his message that true faith is not a disengagement from the challenges of the world but an embrace of those very challenges.

Truth is, there is no gospel that is not social; no gospel that relieves us of our call to love our neighbors as ourselves; no gospel that lives outside God’s admonition to serve the least of these. Pope Francis has made this clear, and for that we thank him.

In this history of the United States, a moral critique has been always been at the center of any challenge to the structural sins of society – slavery, the denial of women’s rights, the denial of labor rights, the denial of equal protection under the law, the denial of voting rights, and the promulgation of unchecked militarism. We have never overcome any of these evils without a moral critique that challenged their grip on the heart and imagination of our society.

A moral critique is still needed today.

We hear Pope Francis’s cry that we cannot love our earthly neighbors and yet sit quietly while the Earth herself is made unfit for human habitation. We cannot love humanity and yet give way to forces that

derail the very climate that gives us life. As His Holiness has said, we must acknowledge the “very consistent scientific consensus that we are in the presence of an alarming warming of the climactic system.” We cannot be silent in a world “devastated by man’s predatory relation with nature.” The earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof, the world and they that dwell therein.

We must make a moral demand, shifting the energy supply strategy from coal, oil, natural gas and other fossil fuels to solar, wind, geothermal, and other clean renewable energy sources.

We must establish policies and programs to modernize the national infrastructure for the 21st century, transitioning toward full-employment with millions of new green jobs to help build a sustainable economy. We must provide educational and job training programs, transitional financial assistance and job opportunities for the industry workers displaced due to the transition to a renewable energy-based economy.

We must choose community and care of the earth over chaos and greed.

Not only must we push to protect the Earth’s delicate climate balance; we must also challenge the social climate in which the poor live.

The Pope was right when he said in 2013: “The times talk to us of so much poverty in the world, and this is a scandal. Poverty in the world is a scandal. In a world where there is so much wealth, so many resources to feed everyone, it is unfathomable that there are so many hungry children, that there are so many children without an education, so many poor persons. Poverty today is a cry.”

Poverty has been attrib-

uted to 4.5 percent of U.S. deaths. That is nearly 120,000 people, each of them created in the image of God. Each of their precious lives matters. Their death is the scandal the Pope is exposing.

It is a moral disgrace that there are 14.7 million poor children and 6.5 million extremely poor children in the United States of America – the world’s largest economy.

We know that nearly half of the world’s population — more than 3 billion people — live in poverty on less than $2.50 a day.

O n e billion children worldwide a r e living in Francis poverty.

According to UNICEF, 22,000 children die each day due to poverty. Eight hundred five million people worldwide do not have enough food to eat.

This is the scandal a moral critique must expose: The poor are destroyed, society is destabilized and our shared humanity is terribly diminished.

We can and we must do better.

If we focus more on ending poverty than cutting the social safety nets that help the poor, we can do better. If we move beyond the politics of lust for power to the politics of love for people, we can unify around a moral agenda. And we can do better. If we secure pro-labor, antipoverty policies that insure economic sustainability by fighting for living wages, strong safety nets for the poor, fair policies for immigrants, infrastructure development, and an end to extreme militarism that

puts more resources in bombs, missiles and weaponry than food, jobs and shelter, we can do better.

God is using Pope Francis to prod our consciousness and push us toward action. By daring to preach the gospel of truth and justice, challenging the sins of economic exploitation, poverty and climate destruction, he is showing the way to revival, repentance and redemption.

To our ears, the Pope’s message resonates with the ancient Jewish text that says, “Woe to those who legislate evil and rob the poor of their rights.” This Pope sounds a lot like Jesus, who said in the Gospel of Matthew that love, mercy, and justice ate the weightier matters of the law.

There are some Americans who applaud the Pope for his theological orthodoxy when he calls on us to love one another but decry his message as “political” when he points toward inequality and injustice. These are the same voices that grow hoarse touting “morality” with respect to abortion and homosexuality but cannot hear any suggestion that poverty is a moral issue.

This deafness to the Pontiff’s purpose suggests that Jesus himself would not be welcomed by them in America. Their complaints reveal the serious moral crisis we find ourselves in.

Somebody must stand and say, “It doesn’t matter what party is in power or who has a political supermajority. There are some things that transcend political majorities, partisan politics, and the narrow categories of liberal versus conservative. There are some things that must be challenged because they are wrong, extreme, and immoral.”

Destroying the Earth is just wrong. Hurting the poor is wrong. Treating corporations like people and people like things is just wrong.

And so, to those who complain that the Pontiff is engaging in politics, we say, prophetic voices must rise up and challenge immorality in every age.

It’s our time now. So let us join the Holy Father not in the politics of Democrat and Republican but in God’s politics of love and justice.

Kudos to graduate student’s bold step in race relations dialogue

Growing up in the segr e g a t e d South, I was accustomed to seeing Guest “black only” Columnist and “white only” signs.

As I was maturing in North Carolina, these signs were posted at restaurants and theaters. While not specifically designated by signage, there were black schools for us as children and black churches that we attended.

In addition, we as blacks had our side of town and white people had their side of town. We seldom came in contact with each other. It didn’t trouble us as our parents provided us with happy, loving and safe environments.

As I reflect now on this period in my life, conversations about race simply didn’t happen. There weren’t any dialogues about issues of social justice.

Interestingly, I attended a parochial elementary school with all black students and all white teachers who were nuns. I never felt marginalized or discriminated against because of the color of my skin. Some reading the aforementioned statement might think that I and my friends were naive. But kids back in the day and today can tell when a teacher doesn’t have your best interests at heart.

If you fast forward to 2015, there have been countless conversations about race and how to improve communication and garner respect for one another. These racial dialogues have occurred in business and on college campuses. Community agencies have sponsored them, and many have been held in our homes, all of which have been designed to bring the races closer together.

Still, with all of these workshops and dialogues, America has a long way to go.

We read the newspaper or watch television and the battles among the races continue in a number of areas. I won’t mention them because we know them all too well.

Recently, a college student in Buffalo, New York, made what I believe was a sin-

James B. Ewers Jr.

cere effort to begin some talks about race.

Ashley Powell, a black graduate student at the State University of New York at Buffalo, put up 17 signs around campus that said “black only” and “white only.”

This was part of an art project that she had constructed.

Posting the signs invoked feelings of ill-will and discord among some in the campus community. She said she wanted to show white privilege.

Talking about race is a sensitive subject, and most everyone cries foul when you bring it up. The term, white privilege, has been around for years and is a part of the racial lexicon.

Some would say that too much is made of the term. Maybe because I matured when I did, I was focused solely on my pursuit of excellence. If you are black and a baby boomer like me, I am sure that you will agree.

Did Ashley Powell realize the

firestorm she would create when she started this project? I can’t answer that question. However, I do know that it did take some courage for her to post the signs.

Now that the signs have been posted, where do we go from here? My thinking is that she achieved her goal and that was to get students and faculty at the New York school to begin some conversations about race. Some would opine that her strategy was different and unusual but it is the result that counts.

Sometimes it takes “unusual strategies” to get people moving on a particular issue. Ashley Powell used her graduate school experience to become a voice for how to improve relations between the races. We really don’t know who was empowered by Ms. Powell’s bold move. It could have been her fellow students or it could have been one of her graduate professors.

It is good to see those engaged in grad-

uate study understand the importance of race and gender in this country. Speaking up and taking a stand will always take more heart and more tenacity, so kudos to Ashley Powell who stood ready to tackle a tough issue.

The signs “black only” and “white only” put up by this graduate student will make us look a little deeper and try a little harder to make America be one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

Jeb Bush’s claim that blacks want ‘free stuff’ for votes insults our dignity and history of struggle

Jeb Bush’s comments on T h u r s d a y, Sept. 24, in Guest S o u t h Columnist Carolina about black people voting for Democrats who promise them “free stuff” during election season is a powerful reminder that a leading Republican presidential candidate is woefully ignorant about contemporary race relations and the history that’s shaped the racial-justice struggle.

Ironically, the former governor of Florida’s statement echoed Mitt Romney’s infamous remarks about the 47 percent of Americans who longed for government handouts, said while discussing minorityvoter outreach and the Republican Party.

During an interview with Fox News Sunday, Bush doubled down on his comments. “We need to make our case to African-American voters and to all voters that an aspiration message fixing a few complex things will allow people to rise up,” explained the Republican presidential hopeful. “That’s what people want. They don’t want free stuff. That was my point.”

“The transition to high school football hasn’t really been that hard. You don’t really see a dramatic change until you reach the varsity level,” Lambson said.

Richard Watt, principal at Winston-Salem Preparatory Academy, said he is excited to have Lambson as the school’s first junior varsity football coach in school history.

Americans as a group whose loyalty to the Democratic Party has been purchased via big government spending continues the Republican assault on black dignity and citizenship, a struggle marked by contemporary voting-rights battles taking place across the nation.

Black Americans have been the hardest-working and least-rewarded group in American history. African-American rates of employment, income and wealth pale in comparison to those of whites, the result of a long and continuous history of institutional racism that Bush simply ignores.

Racial insensitivity is a Bush family trait. George H.W. Bush, the 41st president, defeated Massachusetts Gov. Michael Dukakis in 1988 by running the infamous Willie Horton ads that played upon national fears of black criminality and racial violence.

George W. Bush’s halting response to Hurricane Katrina inspired widespread criticism punctuated by Kanye West’s famous assertion that “George Bush doesn’t care about black people.”

Neither does his younger brother, apparently.

The most offensive part of Jeb Bush’s statement is that it’s rooted in a racist mythology about black folks that ignores our national history. Unpaid black labor

nection with the student athletes,” said Watt. “A lot of the players knew her from the community, but even the ones who didn’t, came right in and connected with her right away.”

Lambson, who is also a teacher at WSPA, said she teaches her players real life lessons through the game she loves. Most importantly, she makes sure her players know that school comes first.

“Many of the players see me as a motherly figure,” said Lambson. “I treat them with respect and they do the same in return.”

“Because I’m a woman, I have that motherly instinct, we’re just like a family.”

Lambson’s former

players sometimes stop by practices to see how their former coach is doing.

Earlier this week, J.T. Surratt, a former defensive lineman at the University of South Carolina, stopped by to speak with the players.

The same things Lambson teaches her players today are the same lessons she passed on to Surratt when he was younger.

“Coach Lambson has always done a good job of making sure school comes first,” said Surratt. “While I was at South Carolina my first goal was to get my business degree now I have the tools to get a job anywhere I want.”

literally built American and global capitalism. Slavery produced undreamed-of wealth that helped propel American financial, industrial and political institutions into undreamed-of power and privilege.

African-Americans were repaid for centuries of chattel slavery with Jim Crow segregation, lynching, imprisonment and poverty.

Jeb Bush’s statement perpetuates this tragic history through willful ignorance that casts black folks as an ignorant and lazy mass of people who are dependent on government largesse for their existence.

Bush and other Republican presidential hopefuls who’ve embraced a toxic message of racial intolerance robust enough to make Tea Party advocates and Birthers proud have touted this false narrative.

Such comments also serve as coded messages to white voters convinced that President Barack Obama’s entire presidency has both been illegitimate (by virtue of his supposedly being born in Kenya) and unfairly discriminated against the white populace by giving black folks special treatment.

The Republican Party’s political extremism and racial blinders have become mainstream enough that Jeb Bush – who opposes immigration reform and the Affordable Care Act – is considered a

political moderate. This tragedy turns into farce when these same advocates of antiblack and anti-poor public policy claim to want to be “inclusive” and reach out to racial minorities.

Contemporary struggles for civil rights have reached a fever pitch in the country, highlighted by national movements to end racial oppression in the criminal-justice system, housing, public schools and all sectors of American society. This is the reality that black people live with every day and one that Jeb Bush has yet to encounter.

“We are here today to fight against all those who are using religion as a tool to divide this country,” said Fulton. “We will not continue to allow these forces of insanity to divide our community any longer.”

The Rev. Alvin Carlisle, who is pastor at Exodus United Baptist

“We come here today to say to Dr. Carson and others that we are not going sit by idle while they tear this country apart.”

According to members of the conference, they will hold other protests to fight against others who share Carson’s position when it comes to religion.

Ellison also felt that moving up the primary put Democrats at a disadvantage, because it means they’ll lose several months to find candidates to challenge the many Republican incumbents in state and national races since the filling deadline is now sooner.

“It puts at a disadvantage the challenger, not the person who is already in office,” said Ellison.

“We have been in contact with a number of our Muslim brothers,” said Fulton. “Although they were not able to make it today, they assured us that we have their full support.”

Dr. John Mendez, pastor of Emmanuel Baptist Church, also spoke during the press conference.

“As religious leaders, we stand for peace and unity,” Mendez said. “That is one of the few things that

the filling deadline won’t be a problem for most candidates, who typically plan their runs well in advance.

He felt the larger turnout will be good for City Council races. He also felt the earlier primary was a good thing, since primary races are oftentimes practically decided by May. It makes the state more important to candidates.

“We’ve already seen candidates from both parties visit North Carolina and I don’t think we would’ve seen that had there not been talk that the primary was going to be moved up to March,” he said. “I think it put North Carolina in play and makes people feel like their vote actually counts.”

Forsyth County Board of Elections Member Fleming El-Amin said while voter turnout will be higher than a normal municipal election, less attention will be given to vital local issues and races because so much focus is put on state and national races in a presidential election year.

“When you have them in off years, you’re more focused on just those elections,” said El-Amin.

“The downside is you have less people to participate.”

DISCUSSIONS ABOUT RACE

A10 OCTOBER 1, 2015

By Tevin STinSon THe CHroniCle

At a time when race relations are the headlines in many news reports, the Human relations Department of WinstonSalem wanted to know how the students in the area felt about race relations at their own schools. on Thursday, Sept. 24 at Parkland High School, the Human relations Department gathered a diverse group of students from each public high school in Winston Salem/Forsyth County to discuss the state of race relations at their respective schools Students from Forsyth Country Day, a private school in Forsyth County, were also present during the forum.

Human relations Director Wanda AllenAbraha was a key organizer for the event. She said she couldn’t wait to hear

what the students had to say about current race issues in the country and how it effects their schools. “i can’t wait to hear these wonderful students voice their opinions,” said Allen-Abraha. “During the pre-screening i heard a number of interesting points made by a number of students.”

According to AllenAbraha, the guidance counselors at each school selected the students.

“We wanted to have all the schools in the county represented, and we were able to do that,” said AllenAbraha. “This group is very diverse and is eager to be heard.”

During the forum titled “Changing voices of diversity,” students discussed peer relationships, perceptions in classrooms and stereotypes. Students also talked about their generation’s view toward racial

attitudes, their personal experiences and the overall relevance of diversity for youth today.

Josh Ballin, a senior at West Forsyth, said although he goes to a very diverse school, when he walks into some of his classrooms, its hard to tell.

“West is a very racially diverse school,” said Ballin. “But when i walk into some of my AP or Honors classes, that diversity isn’t shown.” i think that is something we should really work on.”

A number of students echoed Ballin’s statements during the forum.

According to a number of students from multiple schools minorities, although a big part of the schools population are less likely to be enrolled in AP or Honor courses. “it’s really sad. i think that is something the school board should really work on.” Ballin said.

When it came to discussing the race-related issues that are happening in America today, some students said they did not discuss them during school, while others said they had teachers who would spark those conversations among the students during class. nonnie egbuna, a senior at Parkland High School, said after participating in the forum that she feels good about the state of race relations at her school compared to others.

“At Parkland we have teachers who will come in and ask us what is going on in the news, which will spark conversations,” egbuna said. “i think race

relations here is a good because we have teachers like Mr. Jeffers who spark those conversations.”

Tripp Jeffers, a teacher at Parkland High School, helped nonnie start the Mandela Society, a organization that teaches students to talk about difficult issues.

Mayor Pro Tempore vivian H. Burke attended the forum. She said she was impressed by what she saw and heard.

“This is truly an extraordinary event,” Burke said. “These students are our future, and after listening to them talk today, i will say our future looks very bright.

According to AllenAbraha, the panel of students will meet again during the spring to discuss ways to improve race relations at their schools and how they have changed.

Fredrick evans, a senior at Mt. Tabor, said although the forum was a good idea and next time he hopes more students and school board officials will attend in the spring.

“Today was a good start, but look around.

There are a lot of empty seats in here,” said evans. “if we really want to make a difference, we need more participation from students and the entire school board.”

WSSU Students Discuss Trust with law enforcement A small-group discussion includes East Ward City Councilman Derwin Montgomery, far left.

SPeCiAl To THe CHroniCle

The Winston-Salem Human relations Commission facilitated its latest “collegiate trust talk” on Tuesday, Sept. 22 on the campus of Winston-Salem State University, allowing students, campus police and members of the Winston-Salem Police Department to exchange views about topics ranging from sexual assaults and campus safety, to stereotypes and race relations.

About 100 WSSU students attended. Police Chief Patricia norris, Winston-Salem Police Capt. natoshia James, Senior Assistant District Attorney nicole Duprey, and Winston-Salem Human relations Director Wanda Allen-Abraha welcomed them with an explanation about its purpose.

"This is not a bashing or attack session.” AllenAbraha said. “This is a safe place to discuss real issues in a very frank, yet respectful manner."

Many students discussed specific incidents in their hometowns and on campus that left lasting impressions on them. one female student mentioned that she felt that the Black lives Matter movement had a significant impact on many of her friends and family members. She added that she felt very concerned for her younger African-American brother, should he ever have an occasion to interact with law enforcement. Although she said her younger brother is no troublemaker, she fears that there could be violent consequences should he have any interaction with police officers as he grows older.

Another female student stated that she and her boyfriend were pulled over for "probable cause" and was searched, and they never fully understood the officer's reason.

James advised the student that every police agency has some form of citizen complaint process and said the student and her friend should have reported the incident. Students acknowledged that many young people do not know how to report police con-

cerns and complaints. other students said they believe that race relations are good on the WSSU campus. officers on the campus police force are diverse in terms of gender and race, but most students did not feel race is a factor

when campus police issue citations. However, many suggested that improved communications in positive, non-confrontational settings would be very beneficial. officers noted that students have to understand

that the campus police are responsible for enforcing laws and campus regulations.

City Council Member Derwin Montgomery, a graduate of WSSU, advised that the city of Winston-Salem is constantly training officers

in order to ensure that they follow city procedures when dealing with the public during traffic stops. norris thanked Jaylon Herbin, the Political Action Committee chairperson at WSSU, for helping organize the trust talk. Allen-

Abraha encouraged students and officers to continue their discussions in order build trust. She also stated that Human relations would continue to work with WSSU to continue holding talks across the campus.

Blown assignments attribute to loss

BY CRAIG T. GREENLEE FOR THE CHRONICLE

The struggle continues for North Forsyth in junior varsity football.

This time, it was a case of mental miscues that occurred at the most inopportune time. The Vikings climbed back in contention late in the first half in their game against Southern Guilford. But blown assignments on kickoff coverage contributed heavily to their 28-16 home loss last Thursday, Sept. 24.

It was the Mid-Piedmont 3-A Conference opener for both teams.

For most of the first half, Southern Guilford (5-0) dictated the tempo with a bullish ground game and stifling defense. Hakeem Knight repeatedly battered North Forsyth's defense with his inside runs. Knight scored on touchdown runs of 5 and 34 yards to put his team up 140.

The Vikings finally responded with a score with 9.3 seconds remaining in the second quarter. Chris Myers bulled his way into the end zone from 3 yards out and Brandon Davis ran for the two-point conversion to cut the deficit to 14-8.

On that drive, Davis scrambled for big yardage on two plays that put the ball at Southern Guilford's 35-yard line.

On fourth down and short yardage, Myers broke three tackles to get a first down inside the Storm's 5.

After that first score, it seemed that North Forsyth (04 as of Sept. 27) would make a game of it. But on the ensuing kickoff, poor special teams play spelled doom for the home team. For unknown reasons, the Vikings took poor pursuit angles on coverage, which allowed Matthew Hedrick to score a touchdown on an 87-yard kickoff return. Patrick Clegg ran for the PAT to extend the Storm's lead to 22-8.

So, instead of being down by six points at the half, the Vikings trailed by double digits. As things turned out, it proved to be too much for Coach David Hill's squad to overcome.

“Toward the end of the first half, we scored and picked up some momentum and that gave us courage,” said Hill.

SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE

ROCKY MOUNT, N.C. – The Winston-Salem State University (WSSU) Rams jumped out to a 10-3 halftime lead, and held off the late charging Elizabeth City State Vikings, to win the 18th Down East Viking Football classic, 17-10, in Rocky Mount, N.C. With the win, WSSU picks up their first win of the season and moves to 1-3 overall and 1-0 in the CIAA, while the ECSU Vikings fall to 2-1 overall and 0-1 in the CIAA. The Rams got an emotional boost in pregame, when their fallen teammate, Marquise Gaddy, addressed the team via facetime on an IPad. His message was simple – "play like it's the last time you ever get on the field. I love you guys!"

With tears streaming down the faces of coaches and players, and the media relations director, the team exploded with emotion from the locker room looking to break the three-game losing streak to start the season.

Elizabeth City State however, got on the scoreboard first, when Jeff Flores con-

nected on a 42-yard field goal with 2:40 left in the first quarter, to give the Vikings the early 3-0 lead.

But the WSSU Rams had other plans for the Down East Viking Football Classic, when they would tie the game at 3-3 on a Will Johnson 31 yard field goal with 12:26 on the clock in the second quarter.

Winston-Salem State would reach the end zone before the half, when on third down, Rashad Cooper would scramble left and find a wide open William Belcher on the left side, who would make one move to the inside, before darting across the goal line for a 40 yards scoring strike to put the Rams up 10-3 heading into the half.

The Winston-Salem State University Rams would increase their lead late in the third quarter, when Rashad Cooper would find Rashan Williams down the left side for another score. Williams would make a brilliant catch, out jumping and then

wrestling the ball away from the defender in the air for the touchdown. Will Johnson would convert the PAT to give WSSU a 17-3 advantage.

The Elizabeth City State Vikings would score a rushing touchdown late in the fourth quarter, pulling them to within a touchdown, 17-10, with 2:32 left to play.

But the failed onside kick, recovered

by Marcel Caver, would allow the Rams to virtually run out the clock.

The Rams would punt with 12 seconds remaining, and would tackle the returner as time ticked off the clock, securing the WSSU Rams first win of the season.

Rashad Cooper, getting his first collegiate start, finished the day 10 of 23 with three interceptions for 199 yards and two touchdown passes.

Tyree Massey led the WSSUS Rushing attack with 15 carries for 26 yards, while Xavier Quick finished with seven rushes

ishing the day with a 36.8 yards per punt average, on six punts. He also had three touchbacks on four kickoffs.

Defensively, Kailan Chavis led the Rams with seven tackles, four solo, and 0.5 tackle for a loss. Phillip Williamson continued his dominate play, finishing with six solo tackles, four tackles for losses and one sack. James Bullock, Vernon Brandon and Jaitavius Jackson each had four tackles, with Bullock picking up his first interception, Brandon picking up a pass breakup and Jackson picking up 0.5 sack.

CJ Washington, Brandon Dixon, Michael Douglas and Jarell Bright each had three tackles, with Bright also picking up a tackles for a loss. Tyron Roberts also had a sack, and Amyl Smith and Michael Bloomfield each had 0.5 sack. Aaron Johnson also had an interception for the WSSU Rams.

In the process, the Demons scored twice off turnovers, which included five interceptions. The disruptive front line, spearheaded by Saadiq Johnson, Harry Capizzi and Raymond Wilson, finished with four quarterback sacks for the game.

“Our defense played lights out, no question about that,” said Coach Rod Dunlap of Reynolds.

“We didn't do anything special. It was all a matter of every player paying attention to detail and taking care of their individual assignments. They were really dialed in and it showed in how they performed.”

Reynolds put the shackles on an explosive Bobcats offense by limiting big plays. There were few missed tackles and little or no yards after catches by Glenn receivers.

Bobcats pass and ran it back 60 yards for a touchdown in the second quarter.

The Demons added another score when quarterback Mysta Goodloe hooked up with Rashon Bethea for a 38-yard touchdown.

RJR led 12-0 at the half.

Bethea continues to prove himself as a hard-toguard receiver. On the scoring play, he caught Goodloe's throw on a 10yard slant route, faked a defender out of position, then sprinted past the rest of the Glenn defense to the end zone.

The Demons put the finishing touches on a stellar defensive effort courtesy of Harry Capizzi.

Glenn was backed up on its own 10-yard line and attempted a swing pass to one of the running backs coming out of the backfield.

As Capizzi, a defensive end, started to rush the passer, he noticed the back flaring out. So, instead of continuing his pursuit of the quarterback, he peeled back in the direction of the running back and came up with an interception, which he returned for a 10-yard

touchdown to conclude the scoring.

Aside from Snipes and Capizzi, the other Demons who had interceptions were linebacker Nick Imes along with cornerbacks Aaron Clark and Frank Hines.

Now that the Demons have finally broken into the win column, Dunlap is hopeful that it's the start of bigger and better things for his team. At the start of this week, Reynolds (1-2 as of Sept. 26) was looking to even its record in a Monday night home game against Davie County.

“You can preach all you want to about what it takes to win and having everybody buy in to your system of doing things,” said Dunlap. “But when you get a win, that's when the players see the evidence for themselves that what the coaching staff teaches them really does work.

“Things are beginning to come together for this group. If we can stay healthy and not lose any players to the varsity, I feel like the future looks very promising for us.”

after six weeks of play, here's a look at the state of affairs for two junior varsity football teams. Due to the editorial deadline for SportsWeek, this outlook does not include results for the games that were played on Monday night. even though the season is at its mid-point, there's still no clear pick as to which team will finish up as Forsyth County's mythical JV football champions. the coming weeks will surely separate the pretenders from the contenders. here are some observations about West Forsyth and Mount tabor – two teams who are most likely to contend for the title.

West Forsyth (4-0) was the only undefeated team going into the final week of September. the titans have been tough to deal with because of their ability to score points in a hurry.

West Forsyth has a nice

offensive balance and enough weapons to break down any defense. When Kenyar Mcphatter and Mack Duke aren't doing damage as a lethal running back tandem, quarterback Drew Latham has two prime receivers in Kallai Buyna and Jamon Brown. the defense, led by Clifton Mack and Sean Wells, shows signs of being formidable, but tends to be too porous. In three of their games, the titans allowed 83 points. the key to West Forsyth's season could come down to how well the defense is able to limit opponents in a tightly-contested game.

Mount tabor, on the other hand, hasn't shown itself to be nearly as balanced offensively as the titans. the Spartans get the job with suffocating defense and a crunching ground game. the defense rates among the best, with linemen timar Jackson and Cole Foley holding down the fort up front.

When a person really accepts Christ in their hearts, a transformation occurs. That change happens at first on the inside that manifests itself on the outside. Through prayer, study and the power of the Holy Spirit, your life can be better. No matter how hard you try, the Spirit can’t be bought! There is no room for jealousy or competition. As a believer, we have to be open to change by the Spirit’s power not our own. We can’t pick and choose what we follow. Everything that we do must be based on agape. When we look at the man in the mirror, what do we see? Hopefully not Simon!
