By Mike BarnhardtEnterprise Record An elderly man is in custo-dy, charged with the murder of a 26-year-old female in a case that involved gunfire with offi-cers at a Mocksville apartment complex Monday morning.According to Davie Sheriff J.D. Hartman, Quintia Miller, 26, was shot to death at Rowan Pointe Apartments at approxi-mately 7:30 a.m. He said it ap-pears the suspect was looking for someone else.But at the same time she was shot, officers with the US Mar-shals Carolina Regional Fugu-tive Task Force, and Davie Sheriff’s officers, were already in the complex, looking for a suspect in another case. They heard the gunshots.“They saw the suspect shooting at the victim and re-sponded to stop the threat,” Hartman said.One of the officers fired a shot at the suspect, who was then taken into custody with-out injury.

When he invited me as super-intendent, I immediately said yes. “I’ve always admired Davie County’s commitment to inno-vation and to ensuring that all kids have unique and engaging opportunities to learn,” Tru-itt said. “It’s clear that Davie County High School is, first and foremost, interested in sup-porting their students.”Truitt was joined by Julie Pittman, special advisor for teacher engagement and for-mer western regional teacher of the year.

Box 99, Mocksville, NC 27028 Cooleemee Journal 1901-1971 To the editor:In response to Mr. David Carroll’s opinion piece in last week's paper: First and foremost, it is disappointing to see a current BOE member degrade and slander future BOE members. Regardless of personal views, that is never the way one would expect an appointed BOE member to con-duct themselves or represent the BOE. I would also like to say that I have been at meetings and spoken with the future BOE members Mr. Carroll was re-ferring to, and the information he shared in his letter to the editor was false. Mr. Carroll referenced that the future BOE members were trying to disparage how history is taught, by giving a “twisted, distorted view of the latest boogeyman theory.” That is not so. These future members have spoken with parents in the community about a course at DDCC. Certain teachers at DDCC were telling students they are privileged or oppressed because of their race, gender, and religion, which resulted in multiple students walking out of the class. Questions were asked and clarity was gained about the incident after multiple conversations had taken place between these future BOE members, the students and their parents. In fact, when speaking to members of the com-munity about the incident, the future BOE members made it very clear these issues were not being taught in the Da-vie County Schools and referenced the non-discrimination policy the Davie County Schools stands behind. Again, Mr. Carroll has not been at any meetings where this was discussed with the community and from what I un-derstand he has never contacted nor has he had conversa-tions with these future BOE members he chose to publicly disparage. If he had ever had a conversation with any fu-ture BOE member that he chose to write false information about, the people of Davie County may be able to put an ounce of credit into his words. Ron Bivins, Mocksville Carroll wrong, lacks credibility Raising Monarch ButterfliesBy David R. MooreA neighbor provided me with milkweed seed three years ago, which I planted in my flower bed. That year I noticed an increase in visitation by monarch butterflies to my flower garden, checking out the milkweed and nectarous zinnias. I spotted Monarch caterpillars on the milkweed, but after some point, they disappeared. I was uncertain if a predator got them or if they crawled off to form a chrysalis, although I never found any.I planted another variety of milkweed plants to my flower bed (obtained from a garden sale at Tanglewood Park) this year. I also raised milkweed in several 12-inch pots from seeds I collected from plants last sum-mer. Monarch butterflies (on their southern migration) started visiting my milkweed and zinnias in late Au-gust. Although I looked, admittedly not every day, it surprised me to find large monarch caterpillars on the milkweed. I do not know how I did not see them when they were smaller. I transferred them to a butterfly cage containing one of my growing milkweed pots. The caterpillars feed on milkweed leaves constantly and grow through molts called instars. The five caterpil-lars I transferred stripped all the leaves of the milkweed plants in the pot. After that, I cut leaves from other milkweed plants and added them to the cage to keep the caterpillars fed. At last, they climbed and attached themselves to the top of the cage with a silk button. There they would hang in “J” shape for 14 to 20 hours. Then in less than two minutes, they undergo their final molt and trans-form into a chrysalis. Unfortunately, I have not ob-served this last transformation, but I did find a chrysalis hanging in the place of the caterpillar. After about two weeks, the green chrysalis becomes transparent, and the Monarch emerges. It takes sever-al hours for the butterfly to dry its wings and gather strength, but finally, with a flutter of wings, the Mon-arch butterfly takes to the sky and continues the south-ern migration. MoonshiningBy E. BishopI wonder, does every Southern family have a moon-shine story to tell? Well, we do and I’m going to at-tempt to tell it through the reminiscing of our family storyteller.But, first a little history on moonshining. According to an article in the Moonshiner 28, moonshining was still quite prevalent in the South in the 1940s, 50s and early 60s. Between 1954 and 1964, more than 72,000 stills were destroyed by federal agents in North Caro-lina and five other Southern states. There are many leg-endary moonshiners, even one from North Carolina that forged the path to NASCAR racing. Moonshine aliases can be rotgut, branch water, white lightnin’, hooch, skull cracker, stump, risen’shine among others. Likker makin’ still goes on (some even legally now), just not as much. Is it because of the rebel spirit of the South or the love of good ol’ corn whiskey? “You know, our family moved down here in l944 so this happened sometime after that. He didn’t have noth-ing to ride in and it was just an old dirt trail out from the house to the tobacco barn. He’d go out there, fire the tobacco barn at night, stay with it, sleeping on an old cot; then, early in the morning, he’d come back to the house and eat breakfast and farm all day.“Well, one night daddy kept hearing a racket in the woods all night long. Next morning, just about day-light, the law come in on him, arrested him, said he’d been making liquor down on the river. Said he didn’t know nothing about no still; they said “we know it’s yours; was told it was yours; going to arrest you and take you to jail!”“At that time, just a field, no road, leading to the river like it is now. So they walked down beside that field to the river and sure enough there was a still. It had done been cleaned out though. Daddy got to looking around and seen these big ol’ footprints. He knowed soon as he seen ‘em who it was and what she’d done. She must’ve had a rowboat, or something, and had oared that thing up the river with a pole; had done run that whiskey off, had left with it and done gone!“Revenuers said “we know it wasn’t you ‘cause we watched you all night; we should’a been down here watching this.” Took the handcuffs off daddy, told him he was free to go and tore up the still. Daddy said “told you it wasn’t me.” They said “you just go back to your business.”“And daddy, he fired the tobacco barn back up again, went to the house and eat his breakfast and decided to go on back to farming like he’d been a-doing every day. He worked ’til dinnertime, come in at dinner and he knowed, he knowed who done it, who it was ‘cause he’d seen them footprints and tracks. So, after he ate, he just went down to that farm where she lived; back down there behind the barn, back down in the woods there and called her out and told her what he’d witnessed and seen. She said “oh, lawd, what, what, what’s gonna happn’ now.“Daddy said ain’t nothing gonna happen. Said they don’t know who it was, you don’t go back up there and they won’t know. Said they tore your still up so ain’t no need to go back for nothing. And so, daddy come on back home and that was sort of the end of that tale.” Hurricane SeasonBy Linda H. BarnetteWhen the weather forecasters start talking about hur-ricanes, my mind goes back to two of those storms that affected my life in some way.In October of 1954 my parents drove my aunt and uncle, Edna and Henry Shoaf to Clearwater, Fla. for the wedding of their older son, Henry Shoaf Jr.to his fian-cée Mary. The trip itself was very long and boring, and there were only two-lane roads then. As we got closer and closer to Florida, we noticed that the sky had a very peculiar purple color and wondered why. However, it was only after we returned home that we found out that Hurricane Hazel had come ashore near the border of North and South Carolina and had caused the death of at least 19 people in NC and had destroyed many beach-front properties in both Carolinas. It rained so much here that school dismissed early. The other memorable hurricane to affect this area was Hurricane Hugo in September of 1989. This time we all knew it was coming ahead of time and were able to make preparations. Yet the severity of the storm was still shocking and very scary. I recall waking up at 4:30 in the morning to howling wind and swaying trees. My son and I went over to the Stroud house next door and called my mother, who was alone except for her dog, Lucky. We did not have any real damage, but my hus-band John recalls being without power at his home for nearly 2 weeks. It is interesting to note that both Hazel and Hugo made landfall in the same general area, although Hugo was farther south. There was again tremendous proper-ty damage, especially in SC, where the storm destroyed many homes and 13 people died. If I were traveling to Singapore, I would be in luck. Thanks to old teeth pretty much held together by fill-ings, I wouldn’t even think about breaking a law there, where it is illegal to chew gum. The law was enact-ed because the government apparently spent some $150,000 yearly cleaning spit out gum from the mass transit system.Yuck. I see the reason for that law.But there’s more.In North Carolina, it is - or at least was - illegal to conduct or host an organized meeting while wearing a mask or hood, or any other costume. The reason for that law was sound - we all know who wears masks and hoods - but I guess emergency declarations such as COVID pre-empt older laws.Happy hours are illegal in North Carolina. If a res-taurant or bar wants to offer a special for an alcoholic beverage, it has to be all day - not for those few slower hours before the dinner crunch. They can, however, of-fer appetizer specials for certain hours. I guess our state leaders just don’t want us to be happy. Fat, yes; happy, no.To take that drinking and driving threat a bit further, did you know that you can get a DWI while riding a horse in North Carolina? Having lived in downtown Benson during several Mule Days celebrations, I’ll have to say I’ve never seen this one enforced. They put up a hitching post at the ABC Store, for goodness sake.Not to get stuck on drinking laws (There are quite a few about sex, as well, but I’m not going there.), there are several that relate to drinking - or not allowing drinking - while playing bingo. Tell grandma that one and see what happens.Speaking of grandma, be careful if she’s passed on and is resting in a graveyard. In North Carolina, it is illegal to camp in as cemetery. It’s also illegal to hunt, picnic, play, romp, lie in full length or sit on the ground in a cemetery. There goes my vacation: we were plan-ning on a fried rabbit with biscuits and gravy picnic at grandma’s grave somewhere in the wilderness of Mumford, Alabama.Word is, it’s against the law to ride a horse into the Davie County Courthouse. Why would that even be a law? It happened.Here’s another weird North Carolina law: it’s illegal to practice as a professional psychic or fortune teller, but it’s OK of you’re an amateur providing those same services. That’s exactly what I want, some amateur tell-ing me that I’m going to hit the lottery and die a rich man. News like that needs to come from a professional.There’s also a law that says no gambling whatsoever in any place that sells alcohol. I guess the lottery put many of those old laws to the wayside.As a music fan with no musical ability, this one may be my favorite: it is illegal to sing off key in the Tar Heel State. That’s what our Supreme Court decided in 1873, when a Lumberton man was arrested for disturb-ing the peace while singing at a local Methodist church. I’m not sure if the judge asked him to sing before mak-ing the decision, but it must have been bad, really bad. And loud.Mobile, Alabama is home of the original Mardis Gras, right? That big party with all sorts of foolishness. Think again. It’s also illegal in Mobile to use Silly String or confetti cannons. That law, thank goodness, doesn’t mention the throwing of beads. Hopefully, at least that is still OK.Some of the local laws are just plain silly, such as the one in Kure Beach that says thong bathing suits are not allowed. Now that’s going too far.- Mike Barnhardt Thong bans and other disappointing, odd local laws DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Oct. 6, 2022 - 3 This scripture message brought to you by these businesses who encourage you to worship at the church of your choice. And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.(Colossians 3:23-24) 4 - DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Oct. 6, 2022 shared their educational experiences during and post-COVID closures and talked about the value of CTE classes and their ca-reer goals. “It was clear that the stu-dents view this high school as a small community and feel connected to all their teachers. When students are quick to share high praise in their teachers and school environment, you know it’s going to be an awesome visit and a special place,” said Truitt. Following the discussion with students, Truitt and Pittman, along with N.C. Rep. Julia Howard and County Manager Brian Bar-nett, took a tour of the fa-cility, focusing on the CTE building. The group stopped by the mechatronics classroom, a STEM English class, and the Soaring Eagles class-room, before heading to the CTE building where they observed the masonry lab, auto shop, carpentry shop, ag mechanics shop, and the sheep barn. DCHS Principal Michael Pruitt explained that ag students would be show-ing the sheep at the fair and expressed his pride in the way that students took re-sponsibility for caring for the school’s animals, even on the weekends. Having visited CTE pro-grams across the state, Tru-itt said Davie had one of the best, most comprehensive programs. “I’ve seen really impres-sive CTE programs across the state, but after seeing Davie County High’s pro-gram in person, I’m a firm believer that they should be a model for career and Lucas Smith and Hayden Jambor, students in Will Miner’s mechatronics class, show State Superintendent Catherine Truitt VEX Robotics parts pur- chased through a $14,000 grant from Ashley Furniture. - Photos by John Marshall, Davie County Schools Visit ...

The wide variety of options they provide to students, from auto repair to ag mechanics, is incredible as there is truly something for everyone. It’s exactly the type of hands-on and work-based learning oppor-tunities I am hopeful that all North Carolina students have the chance to experi-ence before graduating and entering the real world.“Something that was re-ally unique to Davie High was the masonry lab. In my travels to schools, I’ve not seen this before and it was really unique to see the stu-dents learn how to lay brick. I’d be remiss if I left out the sheep – they were really cute,” she added. Following the building tour, Truitt, Pittman, and Howard returned to the li-brary to meet with teachers. “We requested to meet with teachers so we could answer their questions about a new proposed model that would change the way we license and compensate teachers,” said Truitt. “The teachers asked really thoughtful questions. While it’s natural for any teacher to want to know where they would fit into a new scenario, they were very excited about how this plan could increase com-pensation overall.” Wallace considered the visit a success. “We are very grateful Su-perintendent Truitt would visit Davie County Schools; moreover, we appreciate her genuine interest in hearing from students and teach-ers. Superintendent Truitt spent over an hour speaking with each group to discuss important topics. We also appreciate Rep. Julia How-ard and County Manager Brian Barnett joining the tour. Davie County is so fortunate to have engaged leaders who genuinely care about education.” Truitt answers teachers’ questions about a proposed model that would change the way teachers are licensed and compen- sated. DCHS Principal Michael Pruitt, Grayson Haynes, Rylan Koontz, Amber Lynde, Harmony Young, State Superintendent Catherine Truitt, Katie Lewis, Julie Pittman, Taha Guver, discussed issues affecting students.

DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Oct. 6, 2022 - 5 Community Funds make up one third of the Davie Community Foundation.“This is good news for Davie County as the Com-munity Funds create a ter-rific source of capital to meet challenges and oppor-tunities in Davie, today and always,” said Jane Simpson, president and CEO. “This year, the Davie Community Foundation has awarded grants for projects in the areas of Education, Food/Poverty, and Parks/Enrich-ment totaling $271,464.”What kinds of projects are receiving grants? Since the Mebane Chari-table Foundation is pro-viding support to Davie County Schools for reading enhancements, the Davie Community Foundation chose to support other edu-cational projects. • Cognition of Davie, $30,000 on a sliding scale for four years to assist the organization in building a customer base to provide future operating support. This grant is the second year. Cognition has seen an increase in visitors and sup-porters for the organization, Simpson said.• Cognition of Davie, $15,383 for the purchase of STEAM tools and equip-ment for use in the Maker- space. This will allow an increase in class sizes, pro-vide more opportunities for public use, and provide ear-ly exposure to STEAM con-cepts for youth in Davie and the surrounding counties.• Davie County Schools, $15,000 for a STEM Pipe-line Summer Camp for ris-ing 7th and 8th-grade stu-dents to increase interest and performance in STEM-related studies leading into high school science and math. • Davie County Schools, $40,000 to purchase Hands on Pitsco Labs for all sixth and seventh grade classes.With the goal of bridging learning gaps in math and science, Davie Schools is investing in the labs for mid-dle school technology CTE classrooms. Pitsco STEM labs have been shown to increase student confidence and skills in math and sci-ence through the alignment of standards and hands-on activities.• Davie County Schools, $26,400 for leadership de-velopment and executive coaching. Davie County believes developing leaders for schools and the district is important, Simpson said. They have seen a positive impact on the school princi-pals who have participated in prior years, and chose to ensure all school leaders had the opportunity.• Davie County Schools, $3,250 to provide profes-sional development to K-8 math teachers and instruc-tional coaches. Staff will have professional develop-ment opportunities through NCCTM at the State Math-ematics Conference.• North Davie Middle School, $6,000 for regis-tration for "House System" Conference. Funds were used to send staff to Atlan-ta to attend the Ron Clark Academy, HouseCon. After returning from the inter-active, immersive experi-ence, participants returned to North Davie with new energy and enthusiasm for creating a House System for their school. They couldn’t wait for the new year to start, Simpson said.• Smart Start of Davie, $9,000 for Nurturing Par-ents parenting classes to families who have young children prenatal to 5 years old. The objective ois to promote zero tolerance for the maltreatment of chil-dren. Each class is designed to educate while strengthen-ing the protective factors of families in the community. • South, North, Ellis Middle and Davie High, $10,000 for The Book is Better Project that supports collection development that capitalizes on the popularity of series and movies fea-tured on streaming services based on tween/teen books. Adding these titles allows students to discover that the book is better, Simpson said.• IGNITE DAVIE Col-lege Promise, year 4 of 5 of $20,000 donation. The total commitment is $100,000. “Post-secondary education remains a high priority for the foundation,” she said.• Cooleemee Elementary School, $5,000 in honor of Larry Coble's leadership development with the Cool-eemee Town Board. After learning about the challeng-es facing staff at Cooleemee Elementary, Dr. Coble re-quested that the school re-ceive a grant in lieu of pay-ing consulting fees for his work with the town board.• Davie County Schools Cooleemee and Pinebrook, $1,833 for ukuleles. They were the only elementary schools in Davie without ukuleles for the school mu-sic program. The grant pro-vided funding to purchase a class set of 30 to provide students with the hands-on opportunity for active en-gagement in making music, especially songs that they enjoy beyond the school classroom.To date, the Davie Com-munity Foundation has in-vested $181,866 in rduca-tion. “We believe these are important investments that will one day lead to a bet-ter educated workforce and community,” Simpson said.To learn more, contact Simpson at (336) 753-6903 or jsimpson@daviefounda-tion.org or visit www.davie-foundation.org.

A blast is the one word that sums up last week's writing retreat to the newly designated New River Gorge National Park and Preserve. The writers picked out beautiful sites, drilled out relevant history, and dipped in regional foods – inspiring all senses. Over three days, we augered down, mined for words – and extracted a few core samples of fine writing. Our destination was selected from travel writer From-mer's recommendations for the top 10 places to travel in 2022. Having never traveled to West Virginia, I was anx-ious to discover what all the dust and drift were about. We stopped in Beckley, where our train car rumbled on metal rails, descending into black bot-tom deposits of a deep, barren coal mine – grounding us in coal mining relevance. A veteran, an old-timer miner, backfilled our heads with stories of close brush-ings with death from his days working in shafts. Sometimes used as stools, an exhibit of metal meal buckets caught my attention – like band-ed deposits of coal, the pails were 3-tiered. Hot water filled the bot-tom band to drink and keep food warm, and the middle was for the meal. The top, called the pie pan, usually held a scoop of dessert. Mealtime was like light from a safety lamp – a bright spot on an otherwise dark and dreary day of work. The writers toured a recon-structed coal mining community– a simple miner's home, a well-appointed superintendent's home, and a two-room schoolhouse. In the chapel, resting upright against the pi-ano's music desk, was an old Cokesbury worship hymnal opened to closing hymn 203, "Lead, Kindly Light." "Lead, kindly Light, amid th'encircling gloom, Lead thou me on!The night is dark, and I am far from home; Lead Thou me on! Keep Thou my feet; I do not ask to see…The distant scene; one step e-nough for me. The following day was sun filled – with light and beauty. We rented a townhouse in Fayetteville – our crib for the next couple of days. After arriving at Hawks Nest State Park - our views were nothing less than staggering. I was reminded of lyrics from Christian singer/songwrit-er Andrew Peterson's song "Nothing More to Say.""I'm broken by this majesty,so much glory in so little time,all praise to Him who reigns on high."At the park, we got up close and personal with the New River and bridge. An old crusty riverboat "captain' with a gray, scraggly beard, donning rainbow striped clip sus-penders, greeted us as we embarked on a covered, open-air jet boat. In contrast to a ruddy complexion, his sparkling blue eyes suggested he knew deep secrets about this river. He jetted us out 3 miles to the foot of the world's longest single-span bridge. With squeals of steel on steel, a loco-motive pulling more than 250 cars – many open coal cars - ran alongside us. We had arrived – we were definitely in deep, coal mine territory. As we disembarked, the captain bid us farewell with an old proverb, "And always remember…that wherever you go…there you are."He'd spit out a bucketful. We'd gone from the coal mine – pitch black darkness – to an indescribable light and beau-ty of a river gorge – similar to our day-to-day lives. It's pretty much a guarantee that we'll have moments of both in life. But we can't run from ourselves or our prob-lems. Despite difficulties – don't fret. Learn to appreciate this moment as all there is – not the past or future. Hap-piness is found where you are today. Stay mindful – be present. You never know what's coming next – maybe a little Appalachian folk-flavored, progressive "new grass" music with Celtic forays ... yep. Imagine driving down a one-lane road for miles to a de-serted, historic, abandoned mining community. When you get there – you run into world-renowned cellist – Yo-Yo Ma, West Virginia native and country music singer Kathy Mattea, and former member of the Carolina Chocolate Drops – Hubby Jenkins. It happened. Life happens. Down a simple backroad in West Virginia. PULLED PORK 6 shoulder pork roast1 chopped onion2 Tbsp. vinegar4 Tbsp.

A old coal miner’s metal lunch bucket was made up of three parts - bottom for warm water, middle for meal, and top for dessert. Kathy Mattea, country singer, and Hubby Jenkins, former member of Carolina Chocolate Drops, along with renowned cellist, Yo-Yo Ma, were filming a documentary at an old, abandoned coal mining community. Country roads take me to glory and good food Accented with lemon, fresh trout is one of the foods for which West Virginia is known. DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Oct. 6, 2022 - B1Sports By Brian PittsEnterprise Record A blowout win over South Da-vie seemed like a pretty safe bet for the Ellis football team.

Once upon a time, the Wildcats had to scratch and claw to get a couple wins. Now they’re good enough to pick up lackluster wins. The Wildcats defeated visiting Watauga 4-3 on Sept. 22. It wasn’t as close as the score. North led by two goals on two occasions, never trailed and was in the driver’s seat the whole way. Max Rappaport had two goals. Ethan Christie and Brian Barragan had one each. The assists were delivered by Ronald Perez, Dylan Cassetta and Kellan Wiles. “They capitalized on the op-portunities they had - one of them was a PK after a handball in the box,” coach Daniel Gamble said of Watauga. “They had some talent and skill, but we dominated most of the game.” •••Six days later, Christie knocked in two goals, Hunter Stephens dished out three assists and North whipped visiting Summit 6-2. “We had 30-40 shots on goal,” Gamble said. “It could have been a lot (larger margin), but their goalie was really good.”The other goals came from Ste-phens, Hector Rodriguez, R. Perez and Manny Perez. Christie and R. Perez each had an assist. •••The next day at Phoenix Acad-emy, North won by a slim margin, 2-1. As improbable as it seems, it was 1-1 at halftime, a stark con- trast from the 9-1 whipping that North put on Phoenix on Aug. 30. But Phoenix did not have the firepower to put a serious scare in the Wildcats. “They jammed us up in the mid-dle,” Gamble said. “They scored on a (North) mistake. Their main goal was to jam it up and keep the score low, and we just didn’t adjust well to that. We controlled 90-95 percent of the possessions, we just couldn’t do anything with it. We’ve been in Phoenix’s shoes before, jamming it up and keeping it low.”Rodriguez scored the first goal. With it 1-1 in the second half, Ste-phens provided the game-winner. R. Perez and Rappaport had the assists as North raised its perfect record to 9-0. It is 4-0 in one-goal games. ••• Last week was a rough patch for Ellis. The Jaguars lost three games in eight days, starting with a 4-1 decision against visiting North Carolina Leadership Academy on Sept. 22. Santiago Maganda had the goal. “We never seemed to get things going and played most of the game on our heels defending our side of the field,” coach Susan Jones said. “Much of our defense was continuously out of position, al-lowing frequent opportunities for the other team to have uncontested shots on our goal. It didn’t help that we were missing a vital player, (center striker) Eric Martinez, who was out sick.”Jones was pleased with goalie Nathan Harding. “Nathan had a number of saves,” she said. “He was just left alone too often.” The Jaguars lost 4-0 at Canter-bury and 7-2 at Wesleyan Chris-tian Academy as their record fell to 2-5. Maganda had both goals against Wesleyan. •••Things weren’t any better for South Davie, which lost 6-1 at Phoenix Academy and 4-0 at home to NCLA. Andy Dejesus Longares assisted a goal by Ty Cozart against Phoenix. A four-game losing streak dropped the Tigers to 1-7. Notes: In volleyball action, South Davie beat Phoenix and NCLA to run its record to 7-2. North Davie beat Summit and Phoenix, giving the Wildcats (6-4) a five-match winning streak. Ellis (6-3), though, lost at Canterbury, ending its four-match winning streak. North soccer sustains spotless record Ellis fends off inspired South Sept. 28 rematch, and they weren’t intimidated by unbeaten Ellis. South gave Ellis headaches in the first half, but in the second half the Jaguars showed why they hav-en’t lost since the spring of 2021, turning an 8-6 halftime lead into a comfortable 28-6 victory. In a classic letdown situation, Ellis was actually fortunate to be ahead at halftime. Its only score came on defense as Brandon For-rest intercepted a pass and returned it 50 yards for the game’s first score. Elijah Chaffin’s two-point run made it 8-0. “Brandon’s a really good play-er,” Ellis assistant coach Kendall Please See Fends - Page B6 By Brian PittsEnterprise Record When Davie’s tennis team lost 6-3 at home to Reagan in June of 2021, the War Eagles wrapped up a 5-7 Central Piedmont Conference season that left them in fifth place. That came on the heels of a 3-7, fourth-place finish in 2019. The War Eagles haven’t lost a regular-season match since that June day in 2021. How mind-blow-ing is that? Last week was more of the same from the War Eagles. They whipped Mt. Tabor and West For-syth, nailed down a repeat CPC championship and extended their regular-season winning streak to 25. “That’s a big turnaround,” coach Collin Ferebee said of the back-to-back titles after Davie struggled for two seasons. At Mt. Tabor on Sept. 26, Davie did exactly what was expected. It smoked the Spartans 9-0 behind wins from Elliot Newsome (6-0, 6-0), Karlie Quinn (6-3, 6-1), Tru Koren (6-0, 6-2), Sarah West Marklin (6-7, 6-0, 10-7), Leslie Newsom (6-2, 6-3), Bailey Ader-hold (6-0, 6-0), Quinn/Koren (8-6), Newsome/Newsom (8-0) and Marklin/Aderhold (8-0). “While we beat them 9-0 twice and their record doesn’t look great, Tabor is a hugely improved team from where they were a year ago,” Ferebee said. Aderhold, a freshman, has made a habit of knocking off up- Tennis repeats as CPC champs Please See Champs - Page B3 By Brian PittsDavie Enterprise Record Four minutes into the second quarter against visiting Reagan last Thursday, it seemed as if Davie’s football team was going to right the ship and pick up a big Central Piedmont Conference win. At that moment, the War Eagles were doing everything right. They were in front 21-6. Running back Markel Summers was on pace for nine touchdowns. The defense had forced back-to-back punts. Then Davie (2-4 overall, 1-2 CPC) pulled a Jekyll and Hyde, surrendered 35 unanswered points and lost 41-21. “We had them on the ropes early, and the execution has to be at a premium there,” coach Tim Devericks said. “You can’t have a mental lapse. The momentum changed and it snowballed on us.”The game began with maybe the longest punt in Davie annals. Senior Palmer Williams, a Baylor commit, killed a 70-yarder that was downed at the Reagan 3. It didn’t matter. The Raiders (4-2, 2-1) pounded out five first downs, gained 50 yards through the air, 42 yards on the ground and went 97 yards in 12 plays to take a 6-0 lead. (The PAT was no good.)“That was phenomenal,” De-vericks said of Williams’ rocket punt. “He flipped the field. That’s a huge weapon. To their credit, they Davie blows 21-6 lead went all the way down the field.”As disappointing as that se-quence was, Davie controlled the next five series. On third down, Summers ran for 12 yards. On fourth-and-6 from the Reagan 34, Ty Miller found Aidan Froelich near the sideline for 8. On third-and-10 from the Reagan 11, Miller hit a wide-open Summers, who had leaked out of the backfield, for a touchdown to cap a 12-play drive that vaulted Davie to a 7-6 lead. Thanks to a swarming Mason Shermer, Reagan went three-and-out. Shermer and Matty Warner teamed up for a minus-2 tackle before Shermer recorded a nega-tive-11 sack. Davie’s offense went right back to work. Consecutive runs by Mill-er and Summers moved the ball from the Davie 44 to the Reagan 13. On third-and-6, Summers got exactly 6. He scored on the next play, running through a gaping hole up the middle, to finish a 56-yard drive. Gavin Reese nearly intercepted a third-and-20 pass and Reagan punted for the second time in less than four minutes. Davie covered 62 yards in smashmouth fashion, with Miller scampering for 14, 12 and 20 yards and Summers taking care of the final 16 yards on three straight runs. Davie was looking good and leading 21-6 with 8:11 remaining in the first half. But things went sideways for Davie from there. Jaylen Moore’s 53-yard touchdown run kick-start-ed the Reagan engine. Davie’s No. 1 receiver, Brodie Smith, made a dazzling 48-yard reception at the Reagan 6, but Davie hit a wall and Williams was barely wide left on a 28-yard field goal try. Reagan’s Tsion Saunders moved the chains on a fourth- and-2 run, and QB Jacob Smith connected with Jackson Martin for a 22-yard TD as Reagan forged a 21-21 tie. Davie was on the move when Miller and Summers connected for 44 yards to the Reagan 39, but Miller’s next pass was batted high into the air and picked off with 64 seconds left in the half. The first half was as even as it gets. Davie scored three TDs in a span of 6:39. Reagan countered with two scores in 5:07. Reagan had 14 first downs to Davie’s 13. Davie had 261 total yards to Rea-gan’s 259. But the second half was a di-saster for the War Eagles. They mustered just four first downs, had 12 rushes for minus-34 yards because of four sacks and had 25 total yards on 20 plays. They had more penalty yards (45) than yards of offense.

He knew I loved to hunt and fish, but he figured I was far from an expert. “Just know the people who know everything,” he said. I took him to heart and tried over the next 21 years to pick the brains of every good wildlife or fisheries biologist whose telephone numbers I was able to ob-tain. I literally learned at the feet of some of North Carolina’s best biologists: deer guy Scott Osborne, turkey guy Mike Seam-ster, small-game guy Terry Sharpe, and “fish heads” like Fred Harris, Joe Mick-ey, Scott Van Horn, David Yow and Kin Hodges. They gave me a ba-sic understanding of what made game animals, game birds and gamefish grow and flourish.A group of outdoors-men had the same kind of chance, condensed into two hours, when Missouri biologist Nick Prough, the chief biologist for the Quail and Upland WIldlife Fed-eration, got behind a podi-um and taught the basics of improving wildlife habitat to members of the Yadkin Valley Wildlife Federation – tips that he said work anywhere from the Caroli-nas to Kansas to Wyoming and Montana. The cause of improving wildlife habitat has proba-bly been the fastest-grow-ing part of hunting over the past 10 years. Quality deer management is, obviously, a close second, but the two are often intertwined. All over the country, hunters are figuring out that if they can improve on the places where whitetails and wild turkeys live on the hunting leases or farms, they’ll wind up with more of them – and hopefully top-quality animals.“Habitat is simple,” Prough said. “It’s food, water and cover. You don’t have to have a (biology) degree to build habitat; you just have to have the want-to. If you have a chainsaw and a little chainsaw gas, and maybe a UTV (utili-ty vehicle) and a little gas, you can do habitat work.”In his occupation, Prough works with land-owners big and small, try-ing to help them make their home woods and fields more enticing to wildlife. He might only work on a quarter-acre wildlife open-ing in timber, maybe a food plot that’s only an acre in size, maybe just improving little pieces here and there.But it all adds up. There might be an extra covey of quail in a year or two, or a couple more hen tur-keys may nest there and hang around, and whitetails may find reason to make that little piece of heaven the most-used part of their 2,000-acre home range.Water is basic, Prough said. Very few pieces of property don’t have suffi-cient water to quench the thirst of a big, whitetail buck. And food? He said that food is not a limiting factor on most properties. Food plots – a big deal among a lot of outdoors- men these days – might be something that attracts more deer and turkeys – but it’s not going to be some-thing that is the difference between success and fail-ure. Cover is No. 1The key, he said, is cov-er. Where can birds and an-imals nest, breed and hide when they need to? In nest-ing cover, brood cover and escape cover. And it’s fairly easy to provide, even with the most-basic tools.Nesting cover for quail, turkeys, rabbits, even deer, is overgrown, grassy ar-eas, particularly those with bunch grasses like bluestem and timothy. It’s where a clutch of eggs can be hidden from nest preda-tors like skunks, opossums, raccoons and snakes. I flushed a hen turkey off her nest two years ago in May – it was in an overgrown, fallow field from which the cattle had been removed a year earlier. She and her nest were perfectly hid-den, and if I hadn’t almost stepped on her, I’d have never known.Create a disturbanceBrood cover is created by mowing and disking – Prough calls it “distur-bance.”“The key is distur-bance,” he said. “We need to teach landowners to do some disturbance, then put out some seed, and God will do the rest. You get some weeds – foxtail and ragweed – and you’ll have the right habitat.”Prough said that un- kempt “edges” is where two types of habitat meet – say, timber and a field – are potential areas where birds and animals can raise their broods, safe from many airborne and land-borne predators. He sug-gested mowing strips 8- to 10- to 15-feet wide through grown-up fields to provide places where small birds and animals can hunt for seeds, insects and emerging greenery. And not straight stri-pos. “Deer don’t walk in a straight line,” he said. “I don’t mow in a straight line.” Prough will also run a disk over those areas to break them up and encour-age the natural growth of weedy cover. And there’s no need for a big John Deere; outdoorsmen with access to a UTV or ATV can attach a small set of disks and get the job done. My son and I have planted a 6-acre dove field two of the past three summers with a bush hog and an ATV with a disk. Chop and dropAs far as escape cover, think where a pair of quail or a hen turkey might lead their broods to safety from the local red-tailed hawks or coyotes.Think thick. That’s where the chainsaw comes in handy. Prough called his technique “chop and drop,” or “chop, drop and drag.He likes to drop “junk” trees along field edges and even back in the woods to create natural brush piles that protect birds and an-imals. He might drop sev-eral trees in an area, attach a chain around their trunks and to his ATV and drag them together to make a huge brush pile – or lay them end to end along the edge of a field to make for a large, horizontal piece of cover that wildlife can use.“I like to use a hinge cut,” Prough said. “I like to cut through about three-quar-ters of a tree, about thigh- or waist-high, and just let it fall over on its own. That’s a growing brush pile. Deer love to bed down under and behind downed trees. You can create bedding areas by dropping trees.“Deer are loafers. They have nowhere to go and all day to get there – same thing with turkeys. You put a half-moon of downed trees along the edge of a field, and you’ll have deer bedding in there.”Prough also has anoth-er less-than-secret weap-on. He calls it a “wildlife opening.” He’ll go into a stand of timber and clear out a small opening – often as small as a quarter-acre. He tries not to cut down any valuable trees: oaks or pines. What he wants to do is create an open-ing where the canopy has been removed and the sun can reach the ground. You don’t even have to create a disturbance; the sunlight and photosynthesis will take over from there, with greenery of all kinds grow-ing up almost immediately, providing food and cover for wildlife within weeks of the chainsaw work.Parting thoughtsPrough said wildlife habitat improvement is of-ten a matter of trial-and-er-ror. Don’t be afraid to try and create better cover, and if it works, mimic your ef-fort elsewhere. If you can improve the habitat in two or three areas on your hunt-ing property next year, you can do two or three more areas the year after. Some of your efforts will be failures, he said. “There’s no such thing as a silver bullet. There are a whole lot of ‘YouTube biol-ogists’ out there. They went to ‘YouTube University.’ There’s some good stuff out there, and you can see what guys are trying, but YouTube is filled with sil-ver bullets.”Putting out mineral blocks (where legal) is a great way to help improve the quality of bucks in your deer herd, but nowhere near as important as letting young bucks walk, he said.“I put my minerals out to get good trail-cam pix,” he said. “Most deer wll crave the minerals and will come and visit every two or three days.”Last but not least, don’t “turn” any land during the winter. That’s the time that gamebirds and wild-life most need cover and food – and the time when predators are on the hunt the most. Wait until spring when everything greens up and more food and cover is growing.

But here’s the best part of the match: Marklin overcame a first-set loss and rallied past Meredith Rodda to push Davie’s record in third-set tiebreakers to 9-4 across the 2021-22 seasons, including 4-1 this year. “All of my seniors are in the middle of being a senior, application processes and scholarships, and they’re carrying a lot of stress with them,” Ferebee said. “I think this was just one of those days when Sarah West was carrying a lot with her on the court and was trying to work her way through it. We had a little talk (after the first set) and I told her to take it one game at a time. Then she ran off the next six (games).”Davie 6, WF 3The home match against West Forsyth on Sept. 28 was historic for the War Ea-gles, who have been playing girls tennis for 47 years. Not only did they clinch first place, they ran their con-ference winning streak to a record 21; the old record of 20 was set from 2015-17. Davie (11-0 overall) end-ed the week at 9-0 in the CPC, followed by Reynolds at 8-2 and West at 8-3. Quinn (6-2, 6-0), Koren (6-2, 6-4), Marklin (6-2, 6-2) and Aderhold, who was at it again with a 6-3, 6-1 win over a junior, gave Davie a commanding 4-2 lead after singles. But one of the three Da-vie losses was as impressive as any win. Newsome, the top seed, took her perfor-mance to another level in a 7-6, 6-4 loss to junior Samantha McEachran, who had looked invincible in the CPC for three seasons. McEachran, the two-time singles champion who has never lost a regular-season match, beat Newsome 6-3, 6-1 on Sept. 6. But this time Newsome gave her all she could handle. “The story of the match was Elliot,” Ferebee said. “Yeah, she lost to Sam, but I don’t think anyone (else) has gotten close (to beating her). She was so close to victory she could taste it. We had a plan for her and the plan was: ‘You almost did it last time; this time you’re going to be competitive.’ And by gosh, was she competitive. I don’t love moral victories, but that’s a moral victory.”And then: “Losing Karlie (to injury) last year was obviously terrible because we love Karlie and she’s a big part of our team. But it made Elliot have to get better; she didn’t have a choice. If you haven’t seen the improvement from Elliot in match one to Elliot today, it’s astronomical.”Newsome is 9-0 against everyone but McEachran. Quinn is 11-0 at No. 2. Their practice battles serve them well when they hit the court for real matches. “They’re always warm-ing each other up,” Ferebee said. “They’re always play-ing matches. They’re always wanting to go at each other in a positive way, pushing each other to get better. To-day, Karlie was cheering her on. She took over her (No. 1) spot her senior year, but Karlie has been a supporter of Elliot from Day One of the season.” West senior Macy Vest stopped an amazing streak at No. 5, where Newsom, who went 10-0 at No. 6 last year, held a 19-match winning streak before falling 4-6, 6-4 (4-10). But Newsom regrouped in time to help Newsome seal the win at No. 2 doubles by a lopsided score of 8-1. Marklin/Aderhold added the exclamation mark, 8-2, Champs ...

By contrast, Reagan scored on three straight possessions to win going away. The tiebreaker was a 7-yard TD pass on third-and-1. That was set up by a successful QB sneak on fourth-and-1 from the Da-vie 20. It was all but over when Martin juggled and caught an 18-yard TD with 6:42 to play to make it 34-21. Reagan’s remarkable rotation at running back gave Davie nightmares. Moore had 15 carries for 198 yards. Saunders had 19 carries for 135 yards. Smith blended in 14 completions for 181 yards and three TDs. Believe it or not, Moore and Smith are freshmen. Defensively for Reagan, senior Semaj Turner, a 6-3, 245-pound lineman who is headed to Duke, was a one-man wrecking crew. “(Moore and Saunders) hit it downhill hard,” Dever-icks said. “They were run-ning behind a Notre Dame commit (in 6-5, 305-pound senior right tackle Sam Pendleton) and a right guard who will go somewhere big. The right guard has been looked at by everybody. And they kept us honest by hitting some short (passes). We couldn’t sell out totally on the run.”An inspired Summers represented 56 percent of Davie’s offense, the junior running for 92 yards, add-ing 71 receiving yards and scoring three TDs. At one time, Miller had nine carries for 51 yards, but sacks left him with a net of one yard for the night. Miller hit 12 of 20 passes for 193 yards, including six hookups with Smith, who was impressive again with 92 receiving yards. “Markel is going to run it hard every time his number is called,” Devericks said. “I think that’s why they switched up some things toward the end of the second quarter to try to get the ball out of his hands.”Shermer had a strong game in defeat. “Before halftime, we went to a sub package with him coming off the end,” Devericks said. “The quar-terback was actually rolling away from him. He came off the edge, ran it down at the their sideline and forced a fumble. Unfortunately, they recovered it. But it was a phenomenal effort play.”Another positive: Reese, the freshman cornerback. He had two pass breakups in the end zone, one in which he smartly reached around the receiver with his left hand and another in which he batted it away with his free hand while the receiver appeared to lock onto his other arm. “He’s a freshman, but he’s been maturing and making plays,” Devericks said. “The (East Forsyth) game doesn’t show it, but he had very good coverage last week as well. He’s got a very bright future. He probably got an offensive PI in the end zone (that wasn’t called). He had another one on a post route that he had in his hands and he lost it when he hit the ground.”Notes: Davie was miss-ing backup running back Taye Maddox with an injury. Blows ... ...

DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Oct. 6, 2022 - B5 By Brian PittsDavie Enterprise Record Davie’s JV football team looked meek against Rea-gan. The consolation for Da-vie: Reagan has taken every opponent to the woodshed. The scary-good Raid-ers mauled Davie 56-13 in Pfafftown on Sept. 27. They rose to 7-0 with wins of 27-12 over North Davidson, 21-8 over Grimsley, 34-13 over Myers Park, 61-13 over West Forsyth, 28-0 over East Forsyth and 49-6 over Glenn. After the Davie game, their average score was 39-9. “They’re good, man,” coach Perry Long said. “They’re really good.”Reagan’s defense opened the scoring, returning an in-terception for a touchdown less than two minutes into the game. Davie went three-and-out. Reagan snapped a 49-yard run to the Davie 10 and made it 13-0 less than halfway through the first quarter. Then Reagan recovered an onside kick, and on fourth-and-1, it completed a 34-yard TD pass. Davie put together a nice drive late in the first quarter. Archer Richardson ran 18 yards, Jamarius Pelote went for 20 on a quarterback keeper and Leon Bradshaw hauled in a 27-yard pass at the Reagan 6. Richardson punched it in to cut the deficit to 20-6. But two minutes later, Reagan was back in the end zone, scoring on a 48-yard pass. Reagan returned an INT to the Davie 14 to set up a TD that created a 34-6 bulge. Yikes. “They can throw it and run it with no problem,” Long said. “They have a defensive lineman that’s really good.”Reagan’s only mistake of the night was botching a punt. A low snap led to the punter getting swarmed under at the Reagan 24. Pelote’s completion to Brad- Reagan JVs manhandle Davie 56-13 shaw and his 11-yard keeper moved Davie to the 4, and it scored with 11 seconds left in the half to shave the deficit to 34-13. Unfortunately, things got worse in the second half. The Raiders returned the third-quarter kickoff to the Davie 37 and scored in five plays. They would tack on two more scores before Davie’s night was over. “It was like when our varsity played East For- syth,” Long said. “Reagan’s JV was like that. They could do whatever they wanted to do. They’re for real. Even with all the mistakes, our kids played hard.”The War Eagles’ second loss in a row dropped them to 3-3 overall and 1-2 in the conference. Catching up with ...

Overall I’m proud of the numerous times I’ve pushed myself and others around me to never quit. One example of this is when I was at South Davie and we were losing to North Davie in the final minutes of the game. I pretty much took over the defense and called two blitzes that forced a fumble that allowed us to get the ball back and eventually win the game in the final seconds. Here recently I tore my ACL and had my senior season on the field taken from me, and I considered leaving the team. But I told myself that I can’t quit on the work that I’ve done and I can’t quit on my teammates.

He doesn’t say much, but he’s a great athlete and a great kid.”South came back with a 45-yard touchdown pass from Draeton Nance to Noah Dulin, who beat the cornerback on a post route. South’s two-point try failed and it was 8-6 at intermis-sion. “We might have given up 50 yards in the first half,” South coach Germain May-field said. “We had the per-fect game plan. Defensively, the goal was not to give up any big plays and keep everything inside. The first game, they never got to third down. (This time) we got to the ball and we finished when we got to it. They only had one split (out wide), so Fends ... we walked the safety (Laz Smith) down, we walked the free DB down, we played 10 in the box and dared them to throw the ball. We played as good as we could play.“Our practice habits changed (after the Tigers saw the headline in the paper). They were holding each other accountable be-cause of that headline. We showed how far we’ve come since the first two weeks.”South’s TD was set up by passes in the flat to running back Jayce Bentley. “We had been running the same play to get the safe-ty to move out of the middle of the field,” Mayfield said. “We swung Jayce out of the backfield and hit him a few times. We were picking up 5, 6, 7 yards. The safety started moving, so we ran a Framing Lumber Treated Lumber • Hardwoods Plywood • PPG Paints Cabot Stains Sikkens Stains Flooring • Sakrete Plumbing • Electrical Wood Furniture & More!

If wood confuses you, call or come by...We’ll clear it up for you! post route on the backside. Draeton faked (the pass in the flat) and came back to the middle of the field.”For the Tigers, there were mixed emotions at halftime. Hanging with Ellis created goosebumps, but at the same time, they felt like they should have been ahead. “Every time we would have a big play - we had three holding penalties - we’d have a penalty,” May-field said. “Who’s to stay we would have scored, but they were huge (penalties).”The Jaguars rode a tre-mendous second half to 4-0. They went beast mode and reached the end zone on Chaffin’s 30-yard run, Braxton Bowling’s 15-yard-er and Forrest’s 10-yarder. The Ellis offensive and de-fensive lines came at South in waves. “Their physicality just took over in the second half,” Mayfield said. “Their offensive and defensive lines started coming off the ball and we didn’t have an answer. They’re better be-cause they’re more physical up front. They came out and proved they’re the better team in the second half.”“We had come up with a game plan to block their defensive line a certain way, but they put a blitz package in,” Chaffin said. “We were double-teaming and our guys never got out of it (in the first half). We single blocked (in the second half) and started moving the ball. They had a good game plan.“It was a good, competi-tive game and hard-hitting. South’s got some great line-men. I told our guys we’re not competing against them anymore. Y’all are brothers now. Y’all are going to play together at the high school.” Linebacker Chaffin was everywhere defensively for Ellis. J’seire Arnold and Evan Helms were terrific on the ends. Braylon Arnold was a force on the d-line. “J’seire probably had four sacks,” Chaffin said. “He’s a stud. He’s gifted. He’s a really good defensive end. Evan played really good at the other defensive end. Braylon played really good on the defensive line. He had several tackles be-hind the line of scrimmage.”The Tigers (1-3), coming off a dramatic 20-18 win over North Davie, were hampered by the absence of two-way lineman Ahmad McGee. “Our best lineman was out (with a broken hand),” Mayfield said. “With him, we might have moved the ball better in the second half. They just sent more than we could block.”North tore through vis-iting Millennium Charter 52-6 Sept. 27, the first win in three tries for the Wildcats.

Marklin was a Second Lieu-tentant, U.S. Army Air Forc-es, 462nd Fighter Squadron, 506th Fighter Group. He flew a P-51 fighter.

His family was awarded the Air Medal for the efforts of their son, a 2nd Lieutenant with the U.S. Air Corps. The Air Medal citation stated: ‘For meritorious achieve-ment while participating in very long range fighter mis-sions against the Japanese Empire, they accomplished the missions successfully and with distinction above that normally expected, displaying high professional skill and courage which re-flected great credit upon themselves and the Army Air Forces.’ Clay Marklin’s body was buried in Hawaii and there is a memorial tombstone at Rose Cemetery in Mocks-ville.

Volleyball falls to 4thThe gap between second and third place in the Central Piedmont Conference in volleyball is substantial. When Davie’s varsity hosted East Forsyth on Sept. 27, second place was on the line. But it wasn’t close. East pounded Davie 25-8, 25-10, 26-24 to end the War Eagles’ five-match winning streak. East’s second convincing win over Davie lifted it to 13-3 overall and 7-2 in the CPC. Two days later, the War Eagles traveled to meet one of the state’s finest teams, Reagan. The Raiders rolled 25-17, 25-6, 25-10. How powerful are they? Not only are they 27-0 overall and 10-0 in the CPC, they’ve captured 73 of 74 sets, including wins over teams from Kentucky, Virginia, Tennessee and Alabama. McMichael (21-2) is the only team to take a set from Reagan. While Davie (8-7, 6-4 CPC) dropped to fourth in the CPC, it still has a shot to claim third. East Forsyth (8-2) and West Forsyth (7-3) entered the week holding the second and third spots, respectively. Varsity soccer winless in CPCParkland’s varsity soccer team picked up its first CPC win by trouncing Davie 7-2 in Winston-Salem on Sept. 26.

The War Eagles beat East and lost to Reagan. The War Eagles grabbed the last two sets to beat visiting East on Sept. 27. “We are battling some injuries, so we struggled in the first set with a new lineup that we only practiced once,” coach Tabatha Lyons said. “We really turned it on in the second set.”Nora Barringer, Addison Wilson and Lanah Kruger were instrumental in Davie’s third straight win. “East has a heavy-handed outside that got shut down by big blocks from Nora, Addison and Lanah,” Lyons said. “So that gave us some energy and momentum to finish strong.”Three weeks after beating Reagan, Davie lost to the Raiders in two sets on Sept. 29. The scores were 25-20, 25-17 as Davie slipped to 6-5 overall and 6-3 in the CPC. JV soccer loses to Parkland, GlennDavie’s JV soccer team lost 5-1 at Parkland on Sept. 26.

This results in over 14,000 acres of combined conserved prop-erty on the Yadkin River be-tween this new acquisition, TRLT-owned property, and Yadkin River Game Lands.“The Land Trust has worked in this part of Davie County for over 20 years and is excited to see the per-manent conservation of this property,” Morehead said. “Connecting conserved lands is an important factor when considering a property for permanent conservation. The combined connectivity provides so much more for the wildlife that lives there. This is especially key along waterways like the Yadkin River, where a wide variety of wildlife can be found.”The property features hardwood forests and an agricultural field, in addi-tion to possessing one mile of frontage on the Yadkin River, which will aid in pro-tecting the water quality in the area, he said. This proj-ect adjoins over 45 miles of conserved land along the Yadkin River, which serves as a drinking water source for over 840,000 people lo-cally. This property features roughly 60 acres of flood- plain, which is important because the prevention of development near flood-plains mitigates potential flood risk by allowing wa-ter storage during major flooding events, Morehead said. The protection of this property will also provide a buffer to the Natural Area site Point Road Forest, as identified by the NC Natural Heritage Program, which is a site of special biodiversity significance. This project was funded in part by Fred and Alice Stanback in addition to oth-er Land Trust supporters.
