Media Day kicks off Glenn’s wrestling season

BY TEVIN STINSON THE CHRONICLE

To kick off the start of a new season, athletes at big-name colleges and in the professional ranks participate in a media day event to introduce the team to the community. The wrestling team at Glenn High School got a taste of sports at the next level earlier this week when they held their own Media Day. During the event held at the school on Monday, Nov. 1, student-athletes participated in a photo shoot and answered questions from local news media before starting the first official practice of the season.

Media Day was the brainchild of head coach Larry Barron. Barron, who won multiple state championships as a student-athlete at Parkland High School, took over as head coach at Glenn in August. Barron has been an assistant coach at Reynolds and also coaches at K-Vegas Elite Wrestling located in Kernersville.

When discussing his goals for the team and himself this upcoming season, Barron said his goals are to be the top team in the conference, make a deep run in the state playoffs, and be named coach of the year.

The Glenn Bobcats wrestling team kicked off the 2021-2022 season with a Media Day on Monday, Nov. 1.

“I would honestly say a winning record for my starting lineup, winning record for the team as a whole, and getting my seniors into college to wrestle,

that’s a successful season for me,” he says. “I can say all of the dreamy stuff, because that’s how I am. You’re not going to tell me that I am not going to win the

state championship this year.”

Glenn will have a scrimmage at West Forsyth on Nov. 12 before hosting the Blue and Orange Intersquad Scrimmage on Nov.

16. The season officially begins on Nov. 18 with a home tri-meet with Ledford and Grimsley.

WS/FCS approves adding SROs at five local high schools THE CHRONICLE

Students at five local schools will soon see an increase in the number of School Resource Officers (SROs) they see on campus. During a meeting on Thursday, Oct. 28, the Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools Board of Education approved adding an additional SRO at five schools: Glenn, Mt. Tabor, Paisley, Parkland and Reynolds.

The recommendation to add officers came from Forsyth County Sheriff Bobby Kimbrough. The FCSO took over SRO duties last year after the Winston-Salem Police De-

Forsyth County Sheriff Bobby Kimbrough partment decided not to renew their contract to fill vacancies on patrol. When discussing the recommendation during the meeting last week, Kimbrough said he has been trying to convince district leaders to add more SROs since 2019, but he was told no.

“I said based on the data that we have seen going into this situation, you need more than one SRO; I was told no. Last year the same thing,” Kimbrough said.

“Check the facts, check the data. We’ve never seen gun violence in this city

like we’ve seen in recent times, we’ve never seen violence in our schools like we’ve seen in recent times.”

Kimbrough said his recommendation is based on years of experience in the field and facts. “I spent 38 years serving and protecting as a federal agent and a state agent. I know what I know .. I look forward to a day that we don’t need an SRO, but that day is not today,” Kimbrough said.

During the public comment portion of the meeting, several speak-

ers including Effrainguan Muhammad, director of 10KFearless, a group of local men and women trained in conflict resolution, and local activist Ricky Johnson, said more law enforcement is not the answer. They both recommended using programs, volunteers, and other initiatives to steer teens away from violence.

Muhammad mentioned the “Dads on Duty” initiative in Louisiana.

The initiative was formed in response to several fights at Southwood High School, where

nearly two dozen students were arrested. According to reports, since the group of more than 40 men started volunteering throughout the school day, there haven’t been any fights at the school.

Muhammad said, “What was it about these men that brought peace to that high school? These men didn’t have specialized degrees in education. No guns, no batons, no mace, but their mere presence restored order in that high school.”

Johnson, who spoke at the meeting on behalf of Action4Equity, a grassroots organization geared toward ensuring equity for every student in the district, raised the point that data shows more law enforcement in schools doesn’t always mean less violence.

“We want you to use the best information we have about what actually supports children and what reduces violence … there’s no evidence according to the Justice Policy Institute that expanding law enforcement and adding SROs will actually make schools safer,” Johnson

said. “We must know and understand the difference between what makes us feel safer and what actually makes us safer. We do believe the district’s goals are well intended … but we have to get the community more involved.”

Kimbrough said that he is all for programs and other initiatives, but there is also a need to ensure that the students, faculty and staff are safe. Kimbrough said he has sat down with administrators at Glenn, Mt. Tabor, Paisley, Parkland and Reynolds, and they all said they need more than one SRO. “I’m all for these programs that we’ve talked about, but there is not one solution, it has to be a plethora of solutions,” Kimbrough continued.

“These are not just my ask, this isn’t just what the facts say, this is what the men and women who work, who serve, and educate our students want.”

When it came time to vote on the new SRO contract, the motion passed 8-1. Elisabeth Motsinger was the only board member to vote against the recommendation.

City approves Cure Violence Global Program

BY TEVIN STINSON THE CHRONICLE

In response to the recent rise in violent crime, the City of Winston-Salem is adopting a new program called Cure Violence Global and bringing a mentorship program to recreation centers across the city.

This year in WinstonSalem there have been 34 homicides compared to only 23 at the same point in time last year. Shootings and other violent crimes are also on the rise. According to data tracked

by Princeton University’s American Violence Project, there are about 54 nonfatal shootings per-every 100,000 residents, which is higher than Charlotte (12), Raleigh (17), Durham (48), and Greensboro (35).

While giving an update of the city’s crime prevention plan last month, Assistant City Manager Patrice Toney discussed the city’s plan to adopt Cure Violence Global, a national initiative that aims to stop the spread of violence in communities by using methods and strategies associated with public health and disease control, by detecting and interrupting conflicts, identifying and treating the highest risk individuals, and changing social norms.

Toney said Cure Violence Global has been successful in Durham and Greensboro.

Charlotte is also in the process of launching the program.

“Locally, we are considering Cure Violence and we’ve earmarked

$200,000. We’ll see what kind of other resources are necessary,” Toney continued.

“It is an evidencebased model so this is why this particular program would be potentially beneficial for our community.”

To get the ball rolling on the program, city officials have organized a Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Cure Violence Task Force and a “violence community assessment” will be completed by Cure Violence Global in coming weeks.

According to Toney, funding for the assessment will be covered by the county.

“They (Cure Violence Global) will come in and look at our agencies, look at our crime data, where crime is occurring, our institutions, and then they will provide a recommendation and model for how we move forward,” Toney said. “Keep in mind they create the model but we would utilize local partners, local nonprofits, faith-based entities, churches, to actually im-

plement. They will offer the layout and the training, but it will be up to the local community and nonprofits to actually implement and determine the resources that are needed.”

The city will also spend $250,000 to enhance recreation center programming, support conflict resolution, and develop a mentoring program. Recreation and Parks will also be adding the position of youth violence prevention manager.

The new position will be held by Winston-Salem native Bryce Sherman.

His goal will be to make sure Recreation and Parks meets their new programming goals. Toney said young people already respond well to Sherman, who already works for the Winston-Salem Recreation and Parks.

“He is doing an outstanding job in his current role developing their sports and athletics,” she said. “The young people respond well to him, he’s an African American male who really connects with the youth in our community.”

Councilmember and chairman of the Public

Safety Committee, James Taylor, who is publisher of The Chronicle, said Sherman was an excellent choice for the position.

“Selecting Mr. Sherman was an excellent idea.

He is well known and respected in the community and I think he will go a long way in helping us reach our goals and objectives,” Taylor said.

During her presentation, Toney also discussed the city’s plans to use funds from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) to double the number of participants in the SOAR program, increase spending on Pre-K and early learning initiatives, and launch a gun buyback program. She also mentioned crime prevention initiative efforts led by the WinstonSalem Police Department (WSPD), such as the Citizens Police Academy and the Neighborhood Watch Program.

In total, Mayor Allen Joines and the WinstonSalem City Council unanimously approved the use of $1.35 million of ARPA funding to develop the crime prevention plan.

Controversy surrounds Chappell’s Netflix ‘The Closer’ special. Chappelle asks, ‘Am I canceled or not?’

Saturday, Nov 13 | 7:30 PM Sunday, Nov 14 | 3:00 PM

BY STACY M. BROWN

Comedian Dave Chappelle said he’s been disinvited to film festivals, and no company or studio will entertain his new documentary because of the fallout from his controversial Netflix special, “The Closer.”

And while he’s willing to meet with the transgender community and Netflix employees who voiced outrage over his act, Chappelle made it clear that he wouldn’t kowtow to anyone.

“To the transgender community, I am more than willing to give you an audience, but you will not summon me,” Chappelle said in a video released early Tuesday.

“I am not bending to anyone’s demands,” he insisted.

Chappelle doubledowned on his remarks from The Closer in which many in the LGBTQ community called homophobic. “I said what I said,” Chappelle declared.

He also clarified reports that he has sought meetings with transgender Netflix employees angered by his special.

“It’s been said in the press that I was invited to speak to the transgender employees of Netflix, and I refused. That is not true — if they had invited me, I would have accepted it, although I am confused about what we would be speaking about,” Chappelle remarked in the viral video.

“I said what I said, and boy, I heard what you said.

My God, how could I not?

You said you want a safe working environment at Netflix. It seems like I’m the only one that can’t go to the office anymore.”

Chappelle also said he believed any controversy stemmed from corporate interests, and that he’s received support from the LGBTQ community.

Washington Informer Editor D. Kevin McNeir, who is openly gay, has said he didn’t have an issue with Chappelle’s remarks in The Closer.

“I listened closely to what he said and then listened to his explanation for the subjects he had chosen and his rationale for his perspectives. And he made sense. I understood. And I was not offended,” McNeir wrote in an op-ed for the Informer.

Chappelle admits that when he takes on a group of people, making them the focus of his jokes, that he’s also examining himself, seeking the similarities which he shares with the “targets” of his musings and working through the human process of better understanding those who walk along different paths, McNeir stated further.

Chappelle double-downed on his remarks from The Closer in which many in the LGBTQ community called homophobic.

“I applaud him for that.

And I thank him, too,” the editor wrote, noting that, as a “same-gender-loving man of color, I have often found myself being unfairly critical of the ‘T’ portion within the LGBTQ community.”

“I cannot understand why those who make up the transgender community would go through so much pain and oppression because of how they feel inside. But I’ve had my own pain to address and hurdles to overcome. In addition, I’m still dealing with male privilege notions and my own prejudices. This is my truth and my cross to bear,” McNeir insisted.

“Chappelle helped me grow in ways that I believe will remain with me forever. By sharing a brief conversation about a subject that probably confuses a lot of others, he hit a home run.”

In his video, Chappelle said he wants everyone to know that even though the media frames it as Chappelle versus the transgender and LGBTQ community, that’s not the case.

“Do not blame the LBGTQ [sic] community for any of this [mess]. This has nothing to do with them. It’s about corporate interests and what I can say and what I cannot say,” Chappelle said.

“For the record, and I need you to know this, everyone I know from that community has been loving and supporting, so I don’t know what all this nonsense is about.”

Chappelle also spoke about his upcoming documentary about his summer 2020 comedy tour, claiming that it has now been excluded from film festivals.

“This film that I made was invited to every film festival in the United States and some of those invitations I accepted.

When this controversy came out about ‘The Closer,’ they began disinviting me from these film festivals,” Chappelle relayed.

“And now, today, not a film company, not a movie studio, not a film festival, nobody will touch this film. Thank God for Ted Sarandos and Netflix, he’s the only one that didn’t cancel me yet.”

In the video, Chappelle asked the audience: “Am I canceled or not?”

Ribbon cutting for HBCU National Center set for November

BY LAUREN VICTORIA BURKE

On Nov. 11, the HBCU National Center will hold a ribbon cutting blocks from the U.S. Capitol. The center has been established by Jacqueline “Jackie” Lewis, who is also the founder of WISH, LLC, which provides housing to interns in Washington, D.C. The ceremony will feature Rep. Alma Adams (D-NC), who is chair of the Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) Caucus in Congress.

Washington, D.C. is one of the most expensive cities in the U.S. to live in and has rents that can be north of $2,000 per month. Internships on Capitol Hill are increasingly limited to those who are wealthy enough to afford to live in Washington and work for free.

Lewis has previously gained national recognition for her educational work as a federal appointee of Presidents Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush. She served on the President’s Intergovernmental Advisory Council on Education in both administrations. Lewis, along with her late husband, Robert, created a way to provide safe affordable housing in Washington, D.C after learning there were few properties available. They started buying vacant properties in Washington, D.C. that would house students at a price no more than back on their college campus.

Because of the tight economics of interning in a federal office, particularly for Black college students, some have suggested that interns should be paid. Most internships in Congress went unpaid for several decades, but after a great deal of lobbying in 2018, interns on Capitol Hill now earn at least $1,800 per month.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Responsible allocation of our Support for the Build Back tax dollars Better plan To The Editor,

To The Editor, How should your tax dollars be spent? Surely this is a question every North Carolinian ought to be able to answer.

Right now, while Governor Cooper and the N.C. General Assembly are negotiating our state budget, there are $7.2 billion in state coffers. So far, draft budgets have not included Medicaid expansion. N.C. is one of only 12 states that have not expanded Medicaid. Federal incentives would allow us to expand our state health safety net with no additional expenditures this year. After that, the federal government will cover 90% of our state’s Medicaid expansion costs in perpetuity.

Who would gain coverage? The people who make too much for current Medicaid coverage (42% of poverty level), but not enough to be able to obtain ACA coverage with subsidies (138% of poverty rate).

Some Triad legislators oppose medicaid expansion.

Sen. Joyce Krawiec warns against creating a “new entitlement” that will bankrupt the state in the unlikely event that the federal government goes back on its commitments. Rep. Lambeth will only consider expansion that includes a work requirement, which the Supreme Court has disallowed, and for good reasons. (As it happens, most people who would be covered by expansion are in fact working). Now the federal government is offering incentives that would allow N.C. to expand Medicaid without spending any state dollars for now, and only 10% of cost in the future.

The numbers are clear. What’s keeping N.C. legislators from allocating our tax dollars responsibly?

Eileen McCully Winston-Salem

The Build Back Better plan is a must to help average citizens maintain not only a reasonable standard of living, rather a “positive frame of mind”! I am pleading with Senators Richard Burr and Thom Tillis to look within, to tap into that humane gene that is yearning to help provide peace of mind for “all” constituents. I have experienced firsthand healthcare hardships. When my husband was self-employed, his healthcare monthly premiums, co-payments, etc., consumed a minimum of 25% of his income. That negatively impacted our livelihood, to say the least.

The Build Back Better Act will expand healthcare in America by: 1. Lowering health insurance premiums: This may extend the tax subsidies that lower Affordable Care Act (ACA) premiums. The subsidies benefit about 9 million people and will expire in 2022 unless extended; 2. Providing healthcare to low-income Americans in 12 states. Closing the Medicaid coverage gap would mean over 2.2 million Americans in states like Florida, Georgia, and Texas would gain access to health insurance (a right, rather than a privilege) - These are Americans who make too little to be eligible for the ACA, but are ineligible for Medicaid because their state has refused to adopt Medicaid expansion.

Investing in home and community-based care services: These in-home care services allow seniors and persons with disabilities the option to live at home in their communities rather than an institution. I serve on the HCCBG Advisory Council for my county.

Lowering prescription drug prices: 1. America pays more than any other country for prescriptions; 2. The new plan may give Medicare the authority to negotiate drug prices to lower the costs we Medicare beneficiaries pay.

Medicare could be strengthened by expanding the program to include coverage for dental, vision, and hearing.

Americans deserve no less!

Having guns on Hollywood sets.

Will the rules change now?

JAMES EWERS JR. FOR THE CHRONICLE

I like to watch horse operas (cowboy shows) on television and in the movies. Gunsmoke and The Rifleman are two of my favorites.

It could be argued that I have watched every episode. The different scenes are at my instant recall.

I have watched them for so long that I even know when they are going to commercial breaks.

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, along with The Magnificent Seven, are two of my favorite movies. Six shooters going off and shotguns blazing have always played a major role in these shows and movies. Getting shot and\or killed were major storylines for almost any rendition of Gunsmoke and The Rifleman. That was the wild, wild west! I was almost surprised when no shots were fired.

The movies I mentioned also had shooting as a consistent theme. It has always been that way. Will it change?

While watching all the shootings and mischief play out, I knew they were fake bullets and guns. I understood fully that the men and women presumably injured or killed weren’t that at all. After all, these were just weekly television shows and movies.

Actors playing roles and getting paid handsomely to get shot.

However, I have wondered a time or two about the fake bullets. My thoughts were centered

around who was in charge of checking for blanks to put into the guns?

Additionally, I thought there are companies that manufactured these bullets for Hollywood productions. Not in a million years did I think someone would get shot and killed on a movie set.

Sadly, it did happen.

This is tragic and unthinkable, given the resources and personnel that are attached to the movie industry. But here we are with real death and injury on a movie set.

During the filming of the western entitled “Rust,” famed actor Alec Baldwin accidentally shot and killed Halyna Hutchins, cinematographer, who was a part of the crew. Another member of the set, Joel Souza, was also injured in the shoulder with the weapon fired by Mr. Baldwin.

Santa Fe County (New Mexico) Sheriff Adan Mendoza said, “Obviously, I think the industry has had a record recently of being safe.”

He added, “But I think there are some safety issues that need to be addressed by the industry and possibly by the state of New Mexico.”

Alec Baldwin spoke with a reporter on Saturday expressing remorse and grief. He said, “The shooting was a one-in-atrillion episode.”

It is clear there will be a lengthy and comprehensive investigation. There will not be a rush to judgment.

According to reports,

the film, “Rust,” will not resume shooting. This film, in my opinion, will never see the light of day.

There are crew members of the Rust set who have made comments about what happened. One crew member said, “There were no safety meetings.

There was no assurance that it wouldn’t happen again. All they wanted to do was rush, rush, rush.”

Those comments were made after two real shots were fired. This happened after being told the gun was “cold,” meaning it didn’t have ammunition in it, including blanks. This occurred before the Baldwin incident.

The movie industry is now going to become both apprehensive and deliberate about the necessary steps to ensure public safety while filming. This unfortunate incident will stay in the minds of many for years to come. Jobs, positions, and protocols will be reevaluated and reassessed. Nothing will be taken for granted or assumed.

The hurtful and forever painful part of this is that it took death to create more awareness about gun safety on movie sets.

Book Review ‘Change Sings: A Children’s Anthem’ by Amanda Gorman, pictures by Loren Long c.2021, Viking Penguin

$18.99 / $24.99 Canada

32 pages

BY TERRI SCHLICHENMEYER

You don’t like that.

It wasn’t what you wanted. You didn’t ask for it and you’re not happy.

Things shouldn’t be that way. It’s not right, and you don’t like it. Somebody needs to fix this, so why not you? Why, as in the new book “Change Sings: A Children’s Anthem” by Amanda Gorman, pictures by Loren Long, don’t you reach for a different kind of music?

One thing you can count on for the rest of your life: things won’t always stay the same. You were once a baby and now you’re grown. Your room changed when you were too big for your crib.

Look around and your neighborhood changes all the time! Change happens every minute of every day, it hums like a guitar string, and if you listen, you can “sing along.” You won’t be the first one, you know; many of America’s most beloved heroes screamed and spoke and speeched and sang for change to come.

That’s because with change comes hope.

Change doesn’t have to be big, of course. You can make change by picking up trash in the park near your home, or asking for cleaner air or better playground equipment or better schools.

You can volunteer to help others by being generous with your time. Bring your friends along and make it “a hundred hearts, each of us lifting a hand.”

Do it today, tomorrow morning, the next day or the next, even when no one else knows about it.

Make change, even if you aren’t around to see it and the good that comes from it. Make your change into music that anyone can play, even if they’re different from you. Make it something fun.

Make the change that’s inside you, to see the results you want to see.

Then watch what happens: when you start to do good, someone else is inspired and they want to do something good, too. Two people become four and more and more and that’s “just what

the world needs.” So what will you do?

Where will you start? Who will you ask? Won’t you jump on the bandwagon, too?

When everybody around you is doing something that looks like fun, you naturally want to jump in and join them.

Your 4-to-8-year-old may feel shy about that, or they may feel excited when they see people doing something for the world; either way, “Change Sings” shows why it’s important to get involved, especially if you’re a kid.

Grab this book to read aloud to your child, and you’ll notice two things: the illustrations are lush and colorful, but artist Loren Long doesn’t overstimulate.

In this book are gentle, quiet pictures to accompany the second thing: a story that consists of relatively few words, as author-poet Amanda Gorman tells the tale simply but in a way that truly calls kids to action.

Business growth coach breaks down how he helps entrepreneurs with marketing

BY TIMOTHY RAMSEY THE CHRONICLE

As a business growth strategist, Antonio McCoy has made a tremendous impact with business owners and entrepreneurs he has worked with over the years. Shining the light on ways to market one’s business is one of his specialties.

McCoy recently spoke with The Chronicle and gave an overview of his career in marketing. He touched on how he has grown personally and professionally, but wanted to go a little more in depth as to how he assists business owners in marketing themselves and their products.

“If it helps Black business owners, then I’m good with it,” he said about doing a second interview.

McCoy sat down with The Chronicle once again to break down how he helps business owners. He says he wants to pass along as much knowledge as possible to business owners in need of help with marketing. Here is part one of that interview with Mr. McCoy. Question: When a business owner/entrepreneur comes to you and needs help with marketing, what is the first thing you do with them?

Answer: So, essentially what we do is determine what problem they solve with their offering; what’s the solution. Then we determine, based on the problem that their prospective customer is having, what’s the conversation that they are having in their head.

The next step is to take away the risk, because every company out here that does what you do, or I do, claims to do the same thing, so basically we have to lower the risk to say ‘If I don’t do it, you don’t pay for the call.’ So now I lose nothing and take no risk by using your business.

Just to kind of put it in perspective, your marketing should do the heavy lifting in helping your prospective customer make a decision.

Your marketing should help your prospective client make a decision as to whether or not you are or not the obvious choice.

Most small business owners’ marketing doesn’t do that.

Question: Is it easier to work with a new entrepreneur just getting started or an established company that has been failing?

Answer: If the company has been failing, we have to get into the financials to find out what’s going on financially to dub them - quote, unquote - ‘failing.’ With either situation, one is no different than the other. One is just in a different place in regards to their stage of business growth. A startup is just now starting out, so they have not made any mistakes; they are not sure who their target market is.

They haven’t gotten feedback from their customers in regards to how they perceive them in the market and until they know that, the start-up business is operating on marketing based on who they want to be.

The one thing about marketing that business owners have to understand is that they have to listen to their customers and create products and services based on their customers changing needs and market to that. An existing

business would know that as they probably have a database. That’s the difference between the two.

One distinguishable difference with a business that’s already in business and perhaps failing is that when they go through their database, they have to look at what percentage of their database is inactive.

And if they have clients that are no longer doing business with them, then the business owner has to ascertain whether or not this customer is not doing business with us because of something we did or if their needs changed. If it’s something we did, then in our marketing we have to share with those customers what we did to correct the problem.

Question: How do you find the target market for a startup business?

Answer: Any business, regardless of where they’re at in their stage of business growth, has an acquisition cost to get a new customer.

Typically, a lot of startup businesses don’t have a lot of capital, so we need to keep our acquisition cost as low as possible. One way to establish who our target market may be, based on who we think they are, is to create a strategic alliance or a joint venture.

In other words, for my executive coaching, for example, I have to determine as a coach who is already doing business with my ideal customer. So, for executive coaching, I am trying to connect with anyone who is a new or existing manager, from the CEO all the way down to the entry level manager. When you are a startup or even if you have been in business for some time, the cheapest way to acquire a client is to align yourself with someone who is already doing business with your ideal client.

You have to know the lifetime value of your customer and what that means.

You need to know how long an average customer does business with you and then you need to look at the transaction size. For me, usually a client stays with me for about a year to three years. In that time they may spend anywhere from $6,000 to $50,000 with me over the course of three years. That lets me know how much I can spend to acquire a customer. If they spend $6,000 with me in six months or a year, then I know I can spend $1,000 to get that customer because I am still $5,000 to the good.

Most small business owners don’t think of marketing that way.

Question: Do you see a lot of small businesses only using social media or word of mouth to advertise?

Answer: So, it isn't just social media, although people think social media is the silver bullet now.

They not only do it with social media, they do it with a Facebook ad, they do it with radio, they do it with TV if they can afford it. So yes to answer your question. There is nothing wrong with marketing that way when you don’t have a database. Word of mouth is good if you have the cash flow to wait on it, because word of mouth takes time.

Most small business owners I know don’t have that type of cash flow, so you need to be dynamic as it relates to a referral strategy

Antonio McCoy or word of mouth when you are working with one of your customers. That's why it’s so important that your database is your most valuable asset. Your database is your most valuable

asset, even more valuable than any real estate, or any equipment you own, because your database will be where you go to, to create cash flow.

In other words, if you

have something to sell, you’re supposed to go back to your database, not throw something up on Facebook or radio. New businesses should do that, because they don’t have a database, they should do that to build a database.

Question: How do you continue to assist your clients after they have been with you for six months to a year?

Answer: If it’s someone that has been with me for six months, then they have a database or some resemblance of one. Well, guess what? You have clients and your competition is marketing to those clients. Once you have a client, you have to put some type of client relations in place to keep those clients, because that’s what’s going to sustain your business.

So now you may have to hire some folks, so I help

with that. Now you have to become a better leader and I help with that as well.

The more money you make, the more complex your business becomes. If you have five clients, that’s great, you have five clients, but now you have five clients that your competition markets to and you have to continue marketing to those clients to make them understand you’re the obvious choice, even though they are receiving marketing messages from businesses who do what you do. As you grow and reach different stages of business growth, different things are required to operate at that level. I walk with them and provide them guidance in how to do that.

BUSTA’S PERSON OF THE WEEK

Financial consultant Ja’Net Adams makes getting out of debt clear, plain and simple

BY BUSTA BROWN FOR THE CHRONICLE

Most every time I look at social media, I see tons of financial advisors and speakers preying on the financially vulnerable. Meaning those of us who are desperate to get out of debt and unknowingly paying these so-called gurus to put us in even greater debt. Most of their advice is easier said than done. But the one thing they’re all right about, especially during these extremely trying times, is that making money and saving money is not an option; it’s a must!

So I recommend someone to help you navigate into financial freedom. What I dig most about this international personal finance speaker and author is her simplicity in words and data.

If you’re looking to make and save money, she makes it doable and easy to learn. Let’s begin with Proverbs 22:6 which says “Train up a child in the way he should go; and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” My Person of the Week is a living testimony of that scripture.

“What had kept me away from credit cards, one day mother received some credit card applications in the Submitted photo mail. She said, ‘Ja’Net, come over, I want you to see Ja’Net Adams, international finance speaker and authis,’ and then she ripped all the applications up. And she thor. said, ‘Don’t you ever get a credit card in your life. Al- saved up enough to pay 20% of the down payment. That ways save up your own money, use your own money and will more than likely help you get approved.

As Ja’Net and I were talking, I had flashbacks about build your own bank.’ the days I bought a new car and house that I couldn’t af“I stayed true to my mother’s advice, other than this one time in college, because I didn’t understand how it ford, along with buying expensive clothes I didn’t need. I went deep into debt because I wanted to appear rich and worked,” shared Ja”Net Adams.

Ja’Net is an international finance speaker and author was broke both financially and spiritually. Ja’Net shared of “Debt Sucks” and “The Money Attractor.” In her book that when we do this, it takes away from the ability to “The Money Attractor,” she shares how we can buy a car buy the things we really need and to have the financial and house without a credit card. In chapter 14, Adams freedom we all deserve. And boy did she hit the target! I shares some very simple and easy to do tips: Pay cash for wasn’t ashamed to share my past financial illiteracy with your car! Buy a used car. There are plenty of used cars Ja’Net and in return; she shared big money mistakes peofor $4,000 or less. When you purchase a used car, you not ple make every day.

“The biggest money mistake people make is thinking only save on a car payment, but you also save on lower car insurance and property taxes. Remember, you don’t you’re alone in this, and that keeps them from seeking have to stay in that $4,000 car, because you can save up help. They’ll just keep their head in the ground and think money each month and move up to a car that’s $8,000 or as long as the bills are getting paid, I’m good. And then a more. If you don’t have to borrow money for the car, you layoff comes along, and now catastrophe hits. You don’t have any money saved, no plan, and don’t know what to don’t need a credit score.

Also in “The Money Attractor” Adams shares how to do. Then comes the stress, and we all know that money buy a house without a credit score: You need to have four stress can lead to physical issues such as high blood presother lines of credit, with 12 months of payment history. sure. It can become a snowball effect of bad things,” said That could be a cable bill, phone bill, car insurance or the mother of two.

Ja’Net knows firsthand about debt and also how to utility bill. Proof that you’ve been in your current place of employment for over a year, and that your income can get out of it. She paid off her $50,000 debt in just two cover the mortgage. Last but not least, make sure you’ve years. “I didn’t set out to pay it off in two years, but I got

so excited when I saw my debt going down. The steps I took are simple. I called to see how much I owed, how much I was spending each month, then I cut back and cut out, and that brought in extra money to pay toward the debt. I sold things and put that money toward the debt. I used my hobby giving tennis lessons for $25 an hour, I cut back on telephone bills, cable, and stopped eating out.

Those expenses alone saved me about $400 a month. So instead of paying a $400 a month car payment, you can now use that extra $400 and pay $800 a month toward your car payment. So now you can see how that $50,000 debt starts to go down.

We must stop living in the now; that’s a big reason why so many people are in debt. They want the expensive car or house now, yet they can’t afford it … NOW. So, be patient, don’t worry about what people think. Buy the used car so you can save money,” said Ja’Net. I really dig Ja’Net’s “In case you are breathing” fund concept, “You only need $1,500 saved in your “In case you are breathing” fund. What it does is make sure you don’t go deeper into debt in case of emergency. Anything you’re paying on, make sure it’s after you’ve paid the ‘In case you are breathing fund’.

“You must learn the power of No. Not being able to say ‘No’ will cost you money and hurt your ability to save and add to your fund or savings. Family or friends may ask you to go out to eat two or three times a week, and that could be $20 a pop. You must learn how to say ‘No.’ If you’re the family member that has that good job, everybody is going to come to you. So, you have to realize that you’re on your own financial journey, which could be saving for your children’s college, paying off debt, etc. If there’s a situation where you have to help family and friends, you can’t give from an empty cup.

You shouldn’t help someone else if it’s going to cause you to struggle more because that will bring stress to you and your household. So, you gotta be able to say no to family and friends. Try not to allow anything or anyone to deplete that ‘In case you are still breathing’ fund. That money is for you,” said Ja’Net. The Winston-Salem native gives some stern and solid advice, yet she does it with a big beautiful smile on her face and soft and warm delivery. She speaks to you and not at you, which makes it easy to receive her empowering advice. I asked Ja’Net what easy tips she can share to help you to earn extra income, “We all have other abilities other than our jobs. We are not our jobs. Ask your friends and family what they think you’re extremely See Ja’Net on A8

11-year old entrepreneur acquires bus with plan to create a mobile financial literacy unit Nationwide (BlackNews.com) - At just 11 years old, Caden Harris from Atlanta, Georgia, has already amassed a wealth of knowledge. His supportive parents nurtured his natural gifts and helped him launch his first business at seven years old.

They encouraged him to write his first book by age eight. Caden recently purchased a 54-seat passenger bus that he is raising funds to convert the bus into his financial literacy traveling mobile unit to visit schools and create a money educational experience for area youth.

By age eleven, Caden has already developed a great insight toward financial literacy. He has created products to help teach kids financial literacy and achieved his goal of purchasing this bus. Caden is now raising funds and offering sponsorship opportunities for businesses that want to help support his efforts to teach kids about money management.

That spoke to me big time because I always feel guilty when I get paid to speak at youth events or at a church. Thank you, Ja’Net. I received that advice.

People ask me all the time how I paid off my $50,000 debt in two years, and I tell them that’s the wrong question. Ask me, ‘Why?’ You have to have a why, and the dream sheet maps that out. It’s what you would do, where you would go, and who would you help if money wasn’t an issue. It’s short-term, intermediate- and longterm dreams. The short term is six to 12 months, intermediate is three to five years, and long term is 10 to 15 years from now.

Don’t put on your dream sheet that you’re going to pay off debt, because paying off debt is not a dream.

Your dream sheet is for your ‘why’ only. It kept my family and I off vacations for two years, no holiday or anniversary gifts. Instead, we used the money

for something more valuable and important that was on our dream sheet,” shared Ja’Net. Adams’ mother, Eva McWillis, is her greatest inspiration, “With only a high school diploma, my mother went from the mailroom at Wachovia to the assistant vice president of human resources. And she has her own office. She always taught me to be on time, which is 15 minutes early, to dress professionally, and everything that helped me to become the businesswoman I am today.”

I always end with asking my Person of the Week their favorite quote or scripture. “You only have one life to live. I say that every day. My favorite scripture is ‘Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give the desires of your heart.”

My phenomenal Person of the Week is Ja’Net Adams.

Timothy Ramsey Sports Columnist

Kyler Murray is the new wave Arizona Cardinals’ quarterback Kyler Murray has been tearing it up this season. At the time this article was written, he has his team sitting at 7-0 and the only undefeated team left in the NFL. Murray is a mobile quarterback, but he is proving that his arm is his most deadly weapon and I anticipate more NFL teams will look for a carbon copy in the years to come.

Murray came into the league drafted first overall in the 2019 NFL draft by the Cardinals and there were a few question marks about Murray. At only 5’10” he is short by traditional quarterback standards and there were also questions about his hand size and propensity to run.

As a rookie, Murray started all 16 games for the Cards and posted a 5-10-1 record. He threw for 3,722 yards, 20 touchdowns and 12 interceptions. He also ran for 544 yards and an additional four touchdowns.

in the draft.

Murray showed a lot of progression in his second year, although I thought he left some plays on the field by running instead of looking downfield. The Cardinals finished with an 8-8 record and Murray threw for 3,971 yards and 26 touchdowns. He added 819 rushing yards and 11 more touchdowns. For his efforts last year, Murray earned his first Pro Bowl appearance.

This season, Murray has put everything together and is having a phenomenal season thus far.

Through seven games, he’s completing over 73% of his passes with 17 touchdowns and 2,002 passing yards. He has also run a lot less; so far he only has 126 rushing yards, which means he has been keeping his eyes downfield and finding open receivers.

He has wowed everyone with his play this season and I think he has only scratched the surface of how good he can be.

Fox NFL analyst Daryl Johnston summed Murray up perfectly when he said, “You can do everything right and he still makes you wrong.”

Murray had a shoulder injury during the second half of last season that I felt kept him back from making even more progress. I think that has contributed to him not running as much and just buying time in the pocket and letting his skill position players make the plays instead.

That has worked out very

T he C hronicle

well for not only Murray, but also the Cardinals as a team.

“My legs should be a luxury,” Murray said during the offseason in an interview. “And it kind of wasn’t like that last year.

It was me having to run for us in a sense. Once my shoulder was banged up and I wasn’t trying to put myself out there and take those hits, we hit a lull.

Honestly, I think it was a lesson for us. We can’t be one-dimensional.”

That’s an extremely mature assessment from such a young player. He knows that he can’t just rely on his legs to get things done and for him to be successful, he has to use his arm. This is why I think this kid is going to be top three in the league over the next two seasons.

Another benefit for Murray is his plethora of weapons he has to work with. He has arguably the best wide receiver in the league with DeAndre Hopkins, along with A.J. Green, Christian Kirk and speedster Rondale Moore.

His running backs Chase Edmunds and James Conner have also produced for Murray as well.

The thing I like most about Murray is that he does not just key in on Hopkins. He spreads the ball around so much, every receiver on the field runs their routes all out because they know if they’re open, they will get the ball. Many quarterbacks force the ball to their star wideouts, but Murray has shown another sign of maturity by just throwing to who is open.

Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury has proven to be a great play caller and designer of the offense. He has put Murray in the perfect situations to be successful. I was unsure of both Murray and Kingsbury, but they have proven to both be excellent as a player/coach combination.

With both of them being so young, the sky’s the limit to what these two can do in the league.

Murray is setting himself up for a run at the league MVP this season.

He is fifth in the league in passing yards, fourth in passing touchdowns, and first in completion percentage. If the Cardinals continue to win, I see no reason why Murray can’t take home the MVP trophy.

I bet no one is questioning the height and the fact that Murray is mobile now.

There are different styles of running quarterbacks.

Guys like Lamar Jackson are different from the likes of Russell Wilson. While both players are mobile, Jackson uses his legs a lot more as a threat to run for the defense, while Wilson uses his legs primarily to buy more time.

Murray seems to have started out more like Jackson, but transitioned his game to be more like Wilson. That will bode well for him in the future and NFL general managers have definitely taken notice. Don’t be surprised if you find more teams trying to find a quarterback with a similar style to Murray, one that has 4.3 speed, but only uses it when needed.

Elder Richard Wayne Wood Sunday School Lesson

All People Praise God Scriptures: Revelation 7:9-17 By the end of this lesson, we will: *Understand how God’s salvation and justice for all people inspires praise and worship; *Embrace the significance of praising God in unity; *Respond to God’s love, goodness and grace with joy and exaltation.

Background: Revelation is an open book in which God reveals His plans and purposes to His church. When Daniel finished writing his prophecy, he was instructed to “shut up the words, and seal the book until the time of the end.” (Daniel 12:4), but John was given opposite instructions: “Do not seal the words of prophecy of this book, for the time is at hand” (Revelation 22:10). In the lesson Revelation 7 opens with four angels holding back the wind, signaling an interlude between the opening of the sixth and seventh seals. Jesus already opened the first seal: The Conqueror; Second Seal: Conflict on Earth; Third Seal: Scarcity on Earth; Fourth Seal: Widespread Death on Earth; Fifth Seal: The Cry of the Martyrs; and Sixth Seal: Cosmic Disturbances. Before the seventh seal is opened, seals are placed on “the servants of our God on their foreheads.” (Revelation 7:3). After this comes “The Great Multitude.”

Lesson: The Great Multitude (Revelation 7:9-10).

While the Tribulation period will be a time of judgement, it will also be a time of unprecedented redemption and verse 9 addresses the Gentiles and answers the question: Will we all be the same in heaven? “After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could number, of all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues …” Because John knew they came from all the earth’s people groups, we know that we will not be the same. There will be differences among people in Heaven, just as there are differences on earth. (This is the evidence that the “Great Commission” will be fulfilled before the end). What does make them the same, however, is their attire: “clothed with white robes” – the white garments of all the redeemed speaks of holiness and purity and they are all celebrating, just as they did when Jesus entered Jerusalem (Palm Sunday). They also had the same mind and voice. Salvation is the theme of their celebration and worship – they recognize that “Salvation belongs to our God … “– it all belongs to Him. The Great Choir (verses 11-12). The celebration of the redeemed in heaven around the throne was joined by the inhabitants of heaven also. “All the angels … the elders and the four living creatures … (verse 11). The Cry of “Salvation to our God who sits on the throne, and to The Lamb” being witnessed by the heavenly hosts caused them to respond in a doxology, beginning and ending in Amen, complete and perfect with seven specific attributes of God. “Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom, thanksgiving and honor and power and might, Be to our God forever and ever. Amen.” (verse 12). See also (5:12).

Greg Dixon’s ‘The Priority of Worship’ is a how-to guide to turning ordinary Christians into extraordinary worshipers ANDERSON, S.C. – Greg Dixon, in his first publishing foray titled “The Priority of Worship” (published by WestBow Press), presents a howto book designed to help Christians worship God more and worship God better.

“You might be a person who worships God freely and without difficulty. Or you may be uncomfortable with worship. Maybe you’re just somewhere in between (like I am). But, if you believe in the God of the Bible, if you are a follower of Jesus Christ, then worship is not an option for you. And when I say worship, I don’t mean church attendance; you don’t ‘attend’ worship. But, worship, true worship, must be a key part of your lifestyle as a Christian. It must become a priority for every day, not just Sundays,” the author states.

This book is simply Dixon’s take on the topic of worship, based on a biblical worldview. It teaches

Christians to worship God in ways that please God and bring joy and fulfillment to themselves. It also uses storytelling and clear life examples to help readers understand worship in everyday language and encourage them to make worship part of their lifestyle as Christians.

“Now is the right time

to learn to worship God, in our homes, in our daily lives,” the author reminds.

“Worship should be personal and joyous and fulfilling and fun. It should never be boring or tedious.

Do things that please God and that you enjoy and find value in. This is worship.”

“The Priority of Worship”

By Greg Dixon Softcover | 7.5 x 9.25in | 226 pages | ISBN 9781664238763 E-Book | 226 pages | ISBN 9781664238756 Available for $19.95 at WestBow Press Bookstore Also available at Amazon and Barnes & Noble About the Author Greg Dixon, a lifelong student of the Bible, has served God through the local church for nearly half a century. As chief technology officer in a Fortune 1000 company, he taught emerging technologies to non-technical people working in worldwide product distribution. An accomplished speaker and writer in the technology field, Dixon learned how to make hard things simple with his common-sense teaching style. In 2020, he retired to find his voice in Christian writing. Dixon is a husband, father and grandfather, and resides in South Carolina. This is his first book.

Honoring women of color: The journey and the legacy SUBMITTED ARTICLE

Women of color have made an impact on our local community for decades. These contributions have been seen throughout the medical field, education, community services, business, ministry, and many more. Women of color have long played a vital role in the history of Winston-Salem. Often the accomplishments of great women of color go unnoticed and unrecognized.

For some years, the Legacy Foundation for Women has served as an organization that is dedicated to telling the stories and recognizing pioneering and trailblazing women of color who are leaving a legacy in the community.

Each year the organization selects and honors extraordinary women with the city's highest honor for women of color at its yearly Winston-Salem Legacy Awards. The organization prides itself on never letting the legacy be erased.

As a result, the Legacy Foundation for Women goes above and beyond to recognize women of color in our great city.

This year’s 2021 Legacy Awards recipients are no exceptions, and they are truly making a difference in our community.

2021 Legacy Award Recipient of Medicine: Dr. Brenda Latham Sadler is a clinical associate professor, family and community medicine physician at Atrium Wake Forest Baptist Health. She is the associate dean of student diversity and inclusion.

Dr. Latham Sadler has been a physician in Winston-Salem since 1985 and has dedicated her work to serving the community.

Her research is dedicated to helping promising college graduates from disadvantaged and underrepresented backgrounds get into and succeed in medical school. The Legacy Foundation for Women found her study and research compelling that aims to determine longterm program outcomes by looking at graduates who are now practicing physicians, in terms of health care service to the poor and underserved and the contribution to health care workforce diversity.

In addition to her research, Dr. Latham-Sadler, her compassion and excellent healthcare services is what makes her a woman of color who is leaving a legacy in the community.

2021 Legacy Award Recipient of Community Service: Joy Nelson Thomas is the executive director of LEAD Girls of NC, an organization that equips girls to confidently make thoughtful choices about their lives in the present. The organization serves as the building blocks for a lifetime of smart, confident choices for girls. LEAD Girls of NC works closely with lo-

God

From page B3

one of the elders, “Who are these …” (verse 13), made John respond, “Sir, you know.” (verse 14). These are the great multitude the faithful people who will come “out of the great tribulation” – (a sevenyear period). These are the martyrs who repented and accepted Jesus during the tribulation time of great human loss and devastation – and are victorious in the heavenly world. Those who, like Jesus, have conquered not by violence, but by having given their lives. With their robes “made … white” by the

cal schools in our community, providing mentors, programs, and support to girls of color. Nelson Thomas holds a B.A from Salem College and is a certified life coach. She also is certified in safe-talk and suicide prevention. The LEAD Girls’ program has served over 500 girls in our community and committed to over 9,000 community volunteer hours. Joy’s ‘why’ in life is: “to impact every girl that comes in her life in some way.” Joy feels that LEAD Girls of NC has a responsibility to be the change we want to see in our community. She is a woman of color that is truly leaving a legacy.

2021 Legacy Award Recipient of Business: Tammy Watson is an award-winning 28-year experienced real estate agent at Coldwell Banker’s Advantage in WinstonSalem. Her ability to form strong connections with her clients has allowed her to attain more than $12 million in gross sales with an average of 45 homes sold per year in our community. Her success can be attributed to her immense amount of knowledge in real estate, impressive negotiation and communication skills, and her ability to consistently adapt to the ever-changing industry.

Tammy's commitment to her community and communities of color enables her to perform tirelessly for her clients. She works alongside each real estate client to assist in navigating the real estate market.

She has built a team of realtors in Winston Salem with a focus on diversity and inclusion. Tammy Watson was inspired to become a realtor to help others have a more seamless buying, selling, and investing experience. She became the first African American agent to bring an ERA franchise to Winston-Salem. Tammy is a vision coach and author of “The Vision Within Vision” book. She is a woman of color who is making her mark in the city.

2021 Legacy Award Recipient of Education: Dr. Carol Montague Davis is the principal at the historic Carver High School in the Winston-Salem/ Forsyth County School System. She has served as an educator in our local school district for many years and has made an impact on our community as a woman of color in education. Prior to her current journey as principal at Carver High, Dr. Montague Davis served as the district’s instructional superintendent for continuous improvement.

Dr. Montague- Davis was instrumental in many programs for school improvement in our school district for students of color and all students. She worked alongside local school principals and leaders throughout the community to improve schools

within the district. After serving as an instructional superintendent, she decided to return to Carver High School in the position of principal to lead the school’s charge for improvement in academics as a high needs school.

Since her return to Carver High School, she has done just that. The school has excelled academically and is on a steady upward track of progress. This year marks more than 30 years in education for Dr. Montague-Davis and she plans to retire in March of 2022 from the Winston-Salem/ Forsyth County Schools.

Dr. Carol Montague-Davis is truly a legacy lady in our community.

2021 Legacy Award Recipient of Ministry/ Religion: Apostle Arlene Crump Peebles is founder of Alabaster Place Inc, a faith-based non-profit organization established to create growth which will impact and encourage individuals to persevere and fulfill their ordained destiny while focusing on accomplishing a healthy and happy life. The organization serves as a support for victims and is an advocate for domestic violence awareness. Apostle Crump Peebles accepted the call to minister in 1996 and has served faithfully since then. She is also the founder of Kingdom Trailblazers Institute, the purpose of which is to offer life empowerment to individuals who are ready for change. Her institute offers a variety of educational training which is purposed to challenge and change lives. These programs have touched the lives of over 40,000 individuals via training and special events throughout the years. Apostle Crump Peebles says she is “thankful that God chose her to serve Him and His people and she does it faithfully and diligently with a spirit of excellence and humility for His Glory.”

Each of these amazing women of color will be recognized at this year’s 2021 Winston-Salem Legacy Awards sponsored by the Legacy Foundation for Women. Typically, this event is a formal black-tie gala affair including dinner, live music, and Winston-Salem’s most elite attendees, all present to support women of color.

This year the organization has chosen to hold its ceremony virtually on Sunday, Nov. 7 at 4 p.m. due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The event will consist of remarks from Alderman Barbara Burke of the City of Winston-Salem and music by Secret Place Music.

Minister Alicia M. Bailey, the organization’s CEO/ founder is encouraging our community to support women and girls of color who are leaving a legacy for others.

blood of the Lamb. Jesus is both lamb and shepherd.

“For the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne will shepherd them and lead them …” The divine roles of shepherding and leading to the water are ascribed to the Lamb as described in John 4:10-14.

“God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”

In heaven, the redeemed will know no more pain and sorrow. The hurt and the struggle of this earthly life will be gone and tears will be a thing of the past, because God keeps His promises (verse 17). (The UMI Annual Commentary 2021-2022, The Wiersbe Study Bible, The MacArthur Study Bible, The New

Interpreters Study Bible, The Jesus Study Bible and The Oxford Bible Commentary).

For Your Consideration: When you hear or read of the “great multitude,” do you envision yourself as a candidate for membership?

Application: Today we live in a world wracked by hatred and international conflict. Knowing that God intends to populate heaven with people of every ethnicity, nation, and language matters deeply for all who claim to follow Christ. If God’s heart reaches to the entire world, so should ours. (Modern Life Study Bible)
