Ewart Rouse – Sticky Wicket Vol. 1
Volume One, Watkins At Bat – Season opener
Fernwood CC is a multi-ethnic team from suburban Fernwood. Jamaica Rebels CC is a
homogenous team from urban Newark. Last season, Fernwood, a team that knows how to win
only on paper, did the seemingly impossible. It knocked the reigning champs out of the playoffs.
It did so by claiming the points when the Jamaicans showed up late for the game on Fernwood’s
home grounds. Today, in their first meeting of the new season, the gritty city boys, still angry
over the loss by default, are out to give the cheeky country boys a whipping they will never
forget. But, like they say, cricket is a funny game; the best team doesn ‘ t always win. -

Introducing Carnival Woman by Pat Nurse. Drama, Passion, Suspense and History
$18.20Carnival Woman is the author’s guide to carnival in Trinidad and Tobago. It is written as a novel but it is one with a difference. Unlike the typical novel that encases itself with fact and fiction, Carnival Woman bears its scholastic origins by having a separate section of lists. They are intriguing in their composition and compilation.
Over the space of thirty-nine paperback size pages there are various subjects, including:
- “Calypsonians of Calypso Tent in Port of Spain in 1983”;
- Some of the prominent characters and educators of the University of Woodford Square”; [Port of Spain]
- “Sports Award Winners”;
- “Great [Radio] Announcers”;
- “Indian Foods”;
- [Steelband] “Panorama Winners from inception”;
- “Female Calypsonians” [of Trinidad and Tobago];
- “Great Calypsonians from” Trinidad and Tobago, Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados, Dominica, Grenada, Guyana, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, St. Kitts, St. Lucia and Montserrat.

Lifted!
$17.95The quotations in this book were selected from
personal statements submitted to The Network
Journal by recipients of the magazine’s “25
Influential Black Women in Business” annual
awards from 2000 to 2021. Launched in 1999, the
awards highlight and honor often-unacknowledged
achievements of Black women in the United States.
The typical award recipient is an entrepreneur, a
woman entrusted with significant decision-making
authority in a corporate, not-for-profit, academic,
healthcare organization, and in public office. She
has a track record of providing leadership and
support to her community. Award recipients reside
in the United States, but they represent national
and cultural origins spanning the U.S., Africa and
communities of people of African descent
worldwide.
As executive editor of The Network Journal, I am
privileged to review the personal statements of
these extraordinary women. The motivating words
they cite attest to their universal soul, one that
values historical and present-day counsel,
irrespective of geographic, ethnic or cultural origin,
whether from the famous or the unknown. I hope
readers of this book draw as much from these
words as the women who are lifted by them.
