When we sat down with Bobby Huntley, a Marine Corps veteran, author, and mentor to over 600 young boys, we were truly inspired. His Gentleman's Club program is a testament to the power of mentorship, and it's a journey he shared with us with great sincerity. We traversed his experiences in the school system, his own personal challenges, and, most importantly, the heartwarming transformations he has witnessed in the lives of young boys who needed guidance.Tackling the elephant in the room, we laid bare the undeniable truth: our societal structure needs a major overhaul when raising children. We delved into some hard-hitting topics, such as the absence of positive male role models in many homes and the rippling effects of this absence, especially in single-parent households. Bobby's insights were eye-opening, to say the least, and truly underlined the importance of mentorship and apprenticeship in shaping boys into responsible adults.But that's not all. We also looked critically at the school system, its impacts, and, more importantly, the solutions we need to implement. From the tone set by administrators to the relationship between teachers and students, Bobby's thoughts were enlightening. We also broached the damaging school-to-prison pipeline that has been a blight on the lives of young people of color. About Bobby HuntleyA Veteran who served 13 1⁄2 years in the United States Marine Corps. Bobby is an Inspirational Speaker and Author of 5 books.

In local news, the 66th annual Farm City Banquet returned on November third after a hiatus due to COVID-19. According to the Watauga Democrat, the event featured live music, fellowship and awards at the Boone United Methodist Church. Coyote Kitchen and J.P. Mason helped cater the event with the help from local farms. Tickets to the event also doubled as a ticket for their raffle. Multiple businesses in the area came together to support the event and provide the raffle baskets. After the dinner portion, awards were handed out to members of the community who helped maintain agriculture. In North Carolina news, a controversial teacher licensure-salary model was introduced by the Professional Educator Preparation and Standards Commission. According to the News & Observer, the Commission voted 9-7 in favor of the “Blueprint for Action” model which would pay teachers based on educator effectiveness rather than years of experience. The new model features a tiered system to classify teachers as apprentices or a level 1 through 4. The Blueprint for Action would require teachers to demonstrate their effectiveness before moving to the next level. Teachers would be given a specific amount of time, ranging from three to six years to advance to the next level. If teachers are unable to fulfill the necessary requirements, they could be demoted to a Teacher Assistant. Critics of the system claim it is a merit pay system that won't accurately reflect the work of teachers which could result in educators leaving the field. Yesterday, NASA's Kennedy Space Center announced that they have discovered part of the destroyed Challenger shuttle buried at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. According to reports from the Associated Press, the discovery came over 30 years after the tragedy. Divers first located the piece back in March while searching for the wreckage of a World War II plane. This was one of the largest pieces from the Challenger that's been recovered. The piece is believed to be part of the shuttle's belly. The fragment is still buried on the ocean floor off of the Florida coast near Cape Canaveral while NASA figures out the next step. So far, roughly 47% of Challenger debris have been recovered since the explosion in 1986. Today's weather is brought to you by Ray's Weather Center at Booneweather.com. This morning, you can expect to see foggy conditions and some heavy rains that will unfortunately continue throughout the day. Today's high is 63 and the low is 45, though wind gusts could make the weather feel cooler.

April D. Graham worked over twenty-two years with the Miami-Dade County Public Schools. She started in the position of Teacher Assistant and worked her way to Assistant Principal and then resigned to open up her own preschool. Mrs. Graham has had her share of obstacles and has persevered through many hardships. In fact, those who know her inquire about the possibility of her success when considering the odds that were stacked against her. Mrs. Graham didn't have parents who were college educated; causing her to become a first-generation college student. She struggled financially her entire childhood and early adulthood. She had no support and even less resources to prepare her for success. Which is why she made it a mission to coach ladies to lead and soar through adversity! Mrs. Graham established the America's Leading Ladies Academy, a nonprofit with the 501(c3) designation and then launched the Levolution Coaching program. In her coaching program, she has proven success strategies and resources that will transform the lives of the ladies who are ready to reach their fullest potential in the field of education and leadership. Her no nonsense, no excuses, won't take no for an answer approach to helping you “break free” has empowered so many ladies to get unstuck. She has earned four college degrees, owns and operates a successful childcare business, is a John Maxwell Coach, best-selling author, and has earned a host of recognitions and distinctions in the field of education. Mrs. Graham is also dubbed The Educator's Coach because of her passion to coach teachers, and school leaders how to “leveloutionize” their school's environment using her signature 3M Model to increase student success, gain higher test scores, reduce teacher turnover, and experience fewer challenges in overall school operations. April D. Graham is married with 2 daughters and a step-daughter raised by her. Her mantra is Leveling Up gets you there, but Leveling Up and Evolving keeps you there!

She has learned to manage her time, work as a team and how to face new challenges. She believes in teaching others as well as learning with others.
