Tell us what you think In the mail ... Guest editorialHow do you measure poverty? By Mike WaldenN.C. State University One of the underappreciated measures of the economy is worker productivity, which simply measures how much a worker accomplishes — called output — in a given peri-od of time, usually an hour.When worker productivity increases, it means work-ers are becoming more efficient — that is, they are pro-ducing more output in an hour. More productive workers are therefore more valuable to a business. Usually, more productive workers are paid more, either in wages or in benefits.This is why alarm bells recently sounded when gov-ernment numbers showed worker productivity declining. Between mid-2021 and mid-2023, worker productivity slipped by 2%. There’s never been a comparable drop in the last seven decades.The big question among economists and others is why? What happened in the economy to cause worker produc-tivity to erode?There’s no shortage of potential answers. Among them are a loss of education during the pandemic that reduced workers’ skills; workers suffering from stress related to inflation and the pandemic; a change in attitudes about work, particularly among younger workers; the movement of workers to new jobs during and after the pandemic; and the rise of remote work. There’s also a counterargument that recent labor productivity looks bad only because pro-ductivity surged during the pandemic.Let’s look at each of these possibilities individually. There’s no question that reduced educational outcomes are related to reduced skills and lower worker productivity. Data show that pre-college students did lose educational progress during the pandemic. Those who moved into the workforce without recovering these losses could have ad-versely impacted labor productivity.It’s also accepted that stress can harm a worker’s per-formance on the job. Several studies have found that work-ers facing more stress in their lives are less productive. If worries over the pandemic created more apprehension among workers, then it is logical to conclude that worker productivity suffered.Younger workers are often initially less productive than older counterparts because younger workers must learn the details of the job. But there’s little specific evidence showing this relationship has become worse with current generations.A tremendous amount of job churning took place during and after the pandemic as large numbers of workers moved from job to job. During the worst of the pandemic in the first half of 2020, there were forced layoffs due to the closure of a large segment of the economy. The unem-ployment rate soared to 14%.But as the economy reopened in the second half of 2020, and throughout 2021 and 2022, many workers found they could have their pick of jobs. Job openings were in-creasing faster than available workers, resulting in an un-precedented labor shortage. As many as 4 million workers each month were changing jobs, often due to higher pay. To the editor:Regarding the recent article about the EDC President’s amusement, it would seem the joke is on the citizenry. The clarions were sounded two years ago but to no avail. Suddenly, if you monitor a local Facebook page, citizens are not amused. I ask where these folks were two years ago when only three (yes, three) stood up in what turned out to be a quixotical tilting at windmills when speaking against the Tri-West spot zoning. These now unamused denizens of social media need to come out from behind the curtain of semi-obscurity and vehemently direct their displeasure in more widespread and public forums; in short, a grassroots campaign to ef-fect change, or at least join the other Don Quixotes who have persistently voiced opinion in public forum regarding the entire Tri-West brouhaha. First, answers need to be had: how is that no one, to the person, who lives around or had passed the subject par-cels area has any recollection of compliance with NCAC 160D regarding the public signage that would have been required on US 158; how is that planning had such an ab-ject failure regarding in place guidance meant to protect county viewsheds with berms and landscaping (example, the nearby quarry); how could the primary and identified needs of the citizenry, as well documented in the work-ups to the 2019 Comprehensive Plan, be out-of-hand dis-missed (as a reminder, industrial development did not even rank in the priority list); and how could, in the case of the Tri-West location, the obvious patent errors of Figure 23 in the Comprehensive Plan (used to justify the spot rezoning) not have been resolved? There is, if the grassroots effort ignites, a germ of pos-sible hope. The aberration under construction is the first phase: it is half the size of what is planned for the balance of the parcel; it too, has no imposed aesthetic components. When the EDC president’s laughter stops, perhaps he can hear a voice coming from within one of the developer’s offices (insight from a private conversation): spec building contracts are being significantly downsized and/or can-celled – this follows succinctly with the EDC president’s comment about “no takers.” This can be seen if you drive around the state: large spec buildings, sitting empty, with “available” banners attached. Perhaps the developer will redirect to what the community really needs: mixed use developing consisting of storefronts (think small business, doctor’s offices), af-fordable starter and senior housing, assisted living center, etc. (all called out in the Comp Plan workups and ranked as priorities). This enterprise entails, if you dig deep enough, several layers of shell companies. All the following infor-mation is public information gleaned from the required an-nual “Limited Liability Company Annual Report.” The top of the pyramid is Mocksville Development Partners, LLC (located in Dobson), registered agent Tim Dockery, 121 N. Crutchfield St, Dobson NC, 27017, (336) 386-9790. There are three listed Company Officials, each an LLC: GMF Ventures, Inc. (listed as the managing mem-ber), Covenant Development Partners, LLC; and Exit 174, LLC. The “managing members” information is: GMF Ven-tures, Inc: 2701 University Parkway, Winston-Salem NC, 27105, (336) 724-3625, company officials listed as Curtis Bland, William Haymore, and Barbara Maida Stolle; Cov-enant Development Partners, LLC, 121 North Crutchfield St., Dobson, NC 27017, (336) 386-9790, company offi-cials listed as listed as Timothy A. Dockery and Daniel F. Barnes; and Exit 174, LLC, 1100 S. Stratford Rd, Bldg. C, Ste 110, Winston-Salem, NC 27103, (336) 701-1100, com-pany officials listed as D. Greg Marshall and J. Barry Hen-nings (a quick check of public records available on Omega Construction, the site building contractor, will reveal that these two individuals are principles of that company). So, my challenge to the Facebook denizens is this: first-ly, will you take up the gauntlet with our commissioners (if proven that the rezoning did not comply with state law what relief may be available, corrections to the planning oversights for phase two) for changes? And secondly, use the above information to try (letters, calls, emails, etc.) to persuade the above individuals to redirect on the balance of the project site (rezone, etc.) and provide the Davie community what is really needed? There may still be just enough time: word is that elec-trical power is still three years out in availability. Seeing the negativity of phase one, do you really want more of the same, and in even greater quantity? The current economics concerning spec buildings could be in our favor, the laugh-ter coming from the EDC notwithstanding.William VaughanMocksville The Tri-West joke is on usDo we want our government to tell us what we can and can’t read?In Davie County, it’s happening.The Davie County Public Library is supposed to be a place where you can go in peace, a place where you can research to your heart’s content, a place where you can check out a book to read. Any book.Whoa.A book to read?But what book are you reading? If that book has anything at all to do with the LGBTQ-plus community, chances are that it has been challenged, meaning someone wants it banned. These folks who think they’re doing the right thing are filling out the paper work to have certain books banned from the local library. It’s their right.What isn’t their right is some of the other shenanigans going on at our local library. Library staff members are being treated rudely. And that’s putting it mildly.People are going into the library and re-arranging things, at times taking inappropriate books for the chil-dren’s area and moving them there. They’ve turned paper records inside out, stolen books, misplaced books. The list goes on. The sheriff’s department has been called. The ACLU has investigated. It’s not the civilized way to get things done, folks. But a recent report is even more disturbing. A high-rank-ing county official ordered that a book be pulled from the shelves, claiming they are doing what a library patron wants.What? Does this mean that any patron can request that a book be banned and it’s done? That’s not the way it works, or the way it should work.The library has a form for patrons to fill out who dis-agree with a book on the library shelves. That form goes to the board of trustees for a final decision. The board has that authority because the library director gave it to them, which makes sense. The board of trustees is supposed to be a liasion between the library staff and the community, and that role suits it to a tee.Let’s not forget that “community” means us all, even people who don’t look or think like we do. They deserve a chance to read what they want. Even those who do think like you deserve a chance to read those books. They don’t have to agree with whatever message is being sent, but they have the right to read them.In my feeble and worn-out mind, the perfect library would make every book ever written available to its pa-trons - even have them on the shelves if possible. No book should be banned, and for sure, no government of-ficial should have the power to decide what we should or shouldn’t read.Sure, there are books that children shouldn’t be reading. But that should be up to the parent, not the government. There are some books that I have no business reading. But that should be up to me, not the government.And don’t forget. If you allow government officials - especially one government official - to have this power, the next ones in charge may not have the same opinions as you. Books you approve of could be next.The decision on which books to actually buy for the Davie library’s shelves isn’t an easy one. It should be an array of all types of books for all people. If there’s a trend, call it out. But don’t trample on others’ rights to read what they want.•Who would have thought that an appointment to the Davie Library Board of Trustees would be controversial?It became that when Jane McAllister was overlooked in favor of Brent Ward by county commissioners a couple of months back. It shouldn’t have been controversial, be-cause noone has accused Ward of any library wrongdoing.We do disagree with the historical way that the library board of trustees have been appointed. For years, the trust-ees made recommendations to county commissioners to approve, which until last year (About the same time book banning became popular nationwide.), the county ap-proved. No board should be allowed to hand pick who they serve with. Make recommendations, maybe. But hand pick a board? No. A wise man once said he would put his worst critic on his board.What is becoming controversial is that a certain seg-ment of the population wants to tell us how to think. And what to read.No thank you.- Mike Barnhardt Library woes Ordinarily, economists have found switching jobs re-sults in higher labor productivity since the change presum-ably provides a better match between a worker’s skills and the needs of the job. But with so many firms desperate to hire workers during the last two years, the share of produc-tivity-enhancing job switches likely suffered.The last factor on the list of changes that could be re-sponsible for falling labor productivity is perhaps the most controversial: remote work. Remote work means there’s an agreement between the worker and employer allowing some part of the work to be done away from the site of the company. Prior to the pandemic, remote workers made up less than 10% of the workforce. The pandemic pushed the remote work rate to 60%. Today’s remote work rate of 40% is still far above the pre-pandemic level.For labor productivity, the worry is without direct su-pervision, remote workers may slack off and not accom-plish as much. Also, in occupations where collaboration with co-workers is important, the lack of face-to-face con-tact may impede productivity. But if remote work makes workers happier — especially with their work/life balance — remote work may enhance worker productivity.Is there any evidence that remote work is bad for pro-ductivity? Current research findings suggest the answer depends on the type of remote work. Fully remote work, where all work is done away from the business, has been found to reduce labor productivity by 10% to 20%. But hybrid remote work, meaning a mix of off-site and in-of-fice work, has been found to increase productivity by 5% to 15%. Currently, three times more individuals are hybrid workers than fully remote workers.There’s one more possibility to consider, which is that there actually is no labor productivity problem. The drop in labor productivity began in the second half of 2021. But there was a surge in labor productivity during all of 2020 and in the first half of 2021, when many workplace restric-tions were still in place. Fewer workers were asked to do more, which resulted in a jump in productivity.In fact, despite the retreats in labor productivity in 2021 and 2022, labor productivity is significantly higher today than during the pre-pandemic year of 2019.So, is all of our worry about labor productivity for noth-ing? I don’t think so. Even if we don’t have a problem now, it’s still important to continue focusing on the factors behind labor productivity so it doesn’t become a problem in the future. But, as always, you decide.Mike Walden is a William Neal Reynolds Distinguished Professor Emeritus at North Carolina State University. DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Aug. 3, 2023 - 3 The Literary Corner: Renegade Writers Guild The is the first in a short series by local Presidential historian, Betty Etchison West, about weddings that have taken place in the White House.By Betty Etchison WestFor the Enterprise I became interested in White House weddings when I saw a book on my own shelf which had been untouched for years. The book, “White House Brides” by Marie Smith and Louise Durbin, is old; the copyright date is 1966. I pulled it off the shelf and started reading. That was all it took; I was interested. I had read about the weddings in the biogra-phies and autobiographies of the presidents and first ladies, but this was the first book devoted to weddings. I also sought more up-to-date information.There have been 19 weddings in the White House or on the White House grounds from the time the White House was completed on Nov. 1, 1800, until 2023.That number includes the wedding of one pres-ident, nine children of presidents, three nieces or nephews of the president or first lady, two siblings, two staffers, one granddaugh-ter, and one friend The only president to be married in the White House was Grover Cleveland. The marriage of Gro-ver Cleveland and Frances Folsom was most unusual. Grover Cleveland was 49 and Frances Folsom was 21. Grover Cleveland was the law partner of Frances Folsom’s father. Before Mr. Folsom died as the result of a buggy ac-cident, he asked his partner to take care of his family. Grover Cleveland did just that. He made sure that Frances was well cared for and that she would be able to attend good schools. When Frances was a student at Wells College, she was the only girl there who had fresh flowers in her dorm room all of the time. You guessed it; the flowers were from Grover Cleveland. It is not known when Grover Cleveland’s feel-ing changed from that of a caretaker to that of a lover but that happened. Just af-ter Frances graduated from college, she and her mother sailed to Europe and spent time there. Frances bought her trousseau there.President Grover Cleve-land and the young college graduate, Frances Folsom, who was called Frank, had fallen in love. Soon after the ship, on which Frances and her mother were pas-sengers, docked, plans were under way for a wedding - a White House wedding. Plans were completed so hastily that President Cleveland wrote out the invitations himself. The invitations were sent only to family members, cab-inet members, and a few friends. The president su-pervised every detail of the wedding in the White House Blue Room. He even conferred with John Phillip Sousa who directed the Marine Band concerning the music. Even though it seemed that plans were made quickly, the Blue Room was beautifully decorated. The following is the de-scription of those decora-tions found in Smith and Durbin’s book, “The White House”:“The mantelpiece above the west fireplace was hid-den by a bed of red ros- es in a myriad of shades, with the monogram C.F. in white. On the opposite mantel against a bank of red roses and purple pan-sies, the date June 2, 1886, was fashioned in yellow pansies into letters nearly a foot tall. The handsome mirrors were festooned with smilax and the crystal chandelier and the gaslight brackets around the walls were twined with greens. Above the door leading from the main corridor were the words, “E. Pluri-bus Unum” worked in dark blue immortelles on a deep red back ground. Rose gar-land twined above it and the other doors.”Mr. Cleveland and Miss Folsom wanted a small quiet wedding, but, when they started down the steps together and the Marine Band started playing, the church bells throughout the city started ringing, and the cannons in the Navy Yard started booming out a pres-idential salute. “The couple entered the Blue Room, and the Rev. Byron Sunderland of the First Presbyterian Church stepped forward to meet them. The tall, graceful, blue-eyed, fair bride was beautiful in her gown of corded ivory satin with trimmings of silk India muslin crossed in Grecian folds. A coronet of orange blossoms held her vail of tulle about five yards long.” That description was also taken from the Smith and Durbin’s book.After the short ceremo-ny during which the groom placed a plain gold wedding band, engraved with the date, on the bride’s finger, the happy couple and their guests moved to the family dining room where a wed-ding supper was served.The couple went by train to Deer Park, Md. where they planned to have a quiet honeymoon. The reporters beat them there and harassed them as long as they stayed at Deer Park. They were probably glad to get to Washington so they could disappear behind the wall of the White House.Even though she was young, Frances Folsom Cleveland became a popu-lar First Lady. She enjoyed the role very much. Pres-ident Cleveland lost his next election to Benjamin Harrison. When the staff lined up to say good-bye to the departing President and First Lady, Frances told the group to take care of the place because they would be back. Truer words were nev-er spoken. Cleveland ran against Harrison four years later and defeated him. Grover and Frances Cleve-land returned to the White House. President Cleveland is the only man to serve split terms as President. He is usually counted as the 22nd and the 24th President.The Clevelands had a lit-tle girl, Ruth, who became the darling of the Amer-ican people. There was even a candy bar named for her—the Baby Ruth bar. Many people think that that candy was named for the great baseball player, Babe Ruth; not so, it was name for Ruth Cleveland, who died when she was 12 of diphtheria. The country mourned Ruth’s death. The Clevelands had four other children, but none could take the place of little Ruth.After leaving the White House, President Cleveland practiced law and played the stock market to support his growing family. The family finally moved to Princeton, N.J., where the Comes the Rainbow IIIBy Julie Terry CartnerDriving home from a visit with my sister, I was think-ing about the articles I’d written for the last few weeks. I was trying to come up with a Part III to finish out the set. Only a few minutes into the drive, and we realized we’d forgotten my husband’s travel mug, and so we turned around and went back to get it. The impact on our travel time was maybe fifteen minutes, not a big deal in the face of a six-hour trip.Later that day we got caught up in traffic, adding around 45 minutes to our drive. A serious accident had closed lanes on our side, and we had to do the give and take of merging three lanes of heavy traffic into one. The stop and go was tedious, and the delay seemed to last forever.Of course, at first, we had no idea what had gridlocked the traffic, and our quite normal reaction was frustration at the delay. We were ready to get home. But when we got closer to the cause of the delay and saw the multiple cars involved in the accident and the police, ambulance, and fire trucks, I sent up a prayer for the people involved. Then, when I realized the accident had occurred fairly recently, my entire perspective changed. Two widely op-posite viewpoints entered my mind. My first thought was, if we hadn’t had to go back to pick up the mug, we might have been ahead of the accident, and we would have been an hour closer to home.But then, a darker thought entered my mind. If we hadn’t had the delay to our trip, we might have been right in the middle of that accident. Instead of driving by, we could have been in the median with EMT’s caring for us. How much difference those fifteen minutes could have made. A forgotten mug could have saved our lives.I was once in a horrific accident, where the driver of the car in front of me lost control on I-77. She spun out and drove across three lanes of traffic, crossing right in front of me and a truck driver in the lane beside me. To this day, I can give no logical reason why my children and I didn’t get hit. With the direction of her car, she should have T-boned me. Somehow, we got past her, but she clipped the truck beside us, which caused him to spin and hit me. The impact of the cars landed us in three different areas of the road: I was in the emergency lane facing the right way. The truck driver, in his spin, ended up in the median facing the wrong way, and the driver of the car ended up off the road, through the guard rail and in the weeds. Nobody was seriously injured. Logic cannot explain this. All I can say is the hand of God protected us, put a shield around us and saved us for another day. I believe, with all my heart, that the three of us in our car hadn’t fulfilled our purpose for being on this earth. As my husband and I drove past that accident site, some 15 or so years later, I had similar thoughts. “But for the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me was not in vain,” said Paul in his letter to the Corinthians. Cleveland only President to be married in White House former president did some writing and speaking. He died there in 1908. About five years later, Frances married a Princeton profes-sor of archeology. Frances was involved in educa-tional activism throughout the years that she lived in Princeton. She died in 1947 and was buried at Princeton Cemetery beside her first husband, the former Presi-dent, Grover Cleveland.Two other Presidents were married while they served as President, but nei-ther of them was married in the White House. Those were John Tyler, who be-came president when Wil-liam Henry Harrison died after serving as president for just 31 days. Mr. Tyler married a beautiful young woman, Julia Gardiner, in New York. When John Ty-ler married Julia Gardiner, he was 54 and she was 21, but their marriage seemed to be a happy despite the difference in ages. Julia Gardiner Tyler en-joy her role as First Lady, but it only lasted one term. President Tyler was defeat-ed by James K. Polk in the next election. After leaving the White House the Ty-lers returned to his planta-tion, Sherwood Forest, at Charles City, Va., and Mr. Tyler got involved in Con-federate affairs. The Tylers enjoyed their life together at Sherwood Forest where they often had dances for their many friends.The Tylers became the parents of seven children. The tenth president and his first wife had eight children so Mr. Tyler is said to have had more children than any other president - 15 in all. One of Tyler’s grandsons was still living at Sherwood Forest in recent years.The other man who got married while he served as President was Woodrow Wilson. When Wilson’s wife, Ellen Axson Wilson, died of Bright’s disease, President Wilson just fell apart. When he was young, his mother kept him, going. When he married Ellen, she provided the feminine sup-port he seemed to require to function. After Ellen’s death Woodrow was truly dis-traught. Less than a year later Mr. Wilson met a lady who was visiting his cousin, a permanent White House resident. That visitor was Edith Galt, a widow. Mr. Wilson was taken by Mrs. Galt’s strong personality. He began seeing her se-cretly because his advisors thought that it would be bad for him politically to be seeing another lady so soon after his wife’s death. It seemed that the President could not help himself; he needed female support to survive. After he visited Mrs. Galt, the president was seen dancing a little jig and singing a ditty as he walked back to the White House. Mrs. Galt gave him that support. In spite of the advice of political advi-sors, Woodrow Wilson and Edith Galt were married in December 1915. By that time there were more im-portant things for people of the country to think about (WWI) so the early mar-riage was really not import-ant. Woodrow Wilson and Edith Galt were married at her home not at the White House.To this day in 2023, the only sitting President to be married in the White House is Grover Cleveland. That marriage occurred on June 2, 1886. Paraphrasing … But for the grace of God, I live to em-brace God’s gift of another day. Life gives no guarantees, as simple as being in the wrong place at the wrong time or the right place at the right time. There will be storms, but there will also be rainbows.Sometimes, out of our darkest moments, come rays of light. Sometimes, out of the fiercest storm clouds, come arcs of color, transporting the world into the shimmering rays of a rainbow. Sometimes, out of the darkest of nights, come the gentle, silvery beams of a full moon, and some-times, we are given the ability to recognize this as the gift it is. Answered PrayersBy Gaye HootsTwo months ago, a mother from the Huitoto, a tribe in Columbia, flew in a single-engine plane with two oth-er adults and her four children across the dense Amazon jungle. The aircraft crashed, killing two adults, and the mother, who survived four days, realized she was dying, and sent her children off into the jungle to seek help. The eldest child was a thirteen-year-old girl, her nine and four-year-old siblings, and a baby who was a month shy of their first birthday.They took the supplies from the plane and left their dy-ing mother at her insistence. The food was Cassava flour, Faranita, a thin bread, and a few bottles for the baby. There were wild animals, snakes, and mosquitoes in the jungle, and it was days before the plane was located and a search started. The search was called Operation Hope and con-sisted of the military and thousands of volunteers.The Huitoto are an indigenous people who live a com-munal lifestyle. They are pictured as primitive, although many have taken jobs and live in cities. The info I have did not say which group this family came from, but the surviv-al skills of the eldest girl enabled these children to survive against all odds. They found water, berries, and enough seeds to sustain them. The eldest chewed seeds to soften them and enable the baby to eat them. They also found one of the survival kits the rescue groups air-dropped into the jungle. They sheltered in hollowed-out tree trunks at night to protect them from predators. I followed the media accounts and prayed for these children for two weeks; it seemed impossible, for them to have survived longer. The area they were lost in was corrupt, where drug trafficking and criminal gangs ran rampant. An estimated eighty tons of cocaine are believed to be moved through this area yearly. Based on how quick-ly rescue efforts turn into recovery, efforts I was amazed that this poor country continued the actions of the military search and that volunteers did not lose hope after a month.They did not give up the search, and at one point, a search dog found the children; but did not return to the searchers, establishing how dangerous the territory is. The search continued for forty days, when the children were located alive but severely malnourished.The children were flown to a hospital and remained for a month. Initially, they could not eat food; but were gradu-ally restored to their original weight. They could visit with family but stay in the custody of child protective services. The mother’s family is petitioning for possession, and the father of the two youngest is petitioning for control of them.It is hard to believe that after surviving the loss of their mother, a forty-day ordeal in the Amazon jungle, and a month of rehab, these four may end up separated. I pray that God will guide their placement and give them the strength to live healthy, happy, productive lives. Road Trips- Part 1By Denise Bell Big adventures, getting side-tracked, wandering to new places! Summer is an attractive time for a road trip. A great time to wander and roam both near and far. Perhaps a day trip to one of the hundreds of beautiful waterfalls in North Carolina? Two hundred and fifty of these waterfalls are located near Brevard, NC, only a few hours from Davie County. Or perhaps plan a longer trip across some of the fifty states of America! Find time to bond with loved ones! Roll the windows down! Join the wind and be breezy!Growing up in the automotive capital of the world, The Motor City, you could probably guess I spent some time in a car! On Sundays we would go on long drives. After church we would have lunch, packed into the car and head-ed out. I was never sure if my parents had a destination or were just off to wander. My mom didn’t drive but loved an adventure. Dad just loved to drive. Out to the countryside we went, watching a world different than our own just out-side the window of the car. My mom loved to forage things along the way. I have a fond memory of picking up fallen black walnuts along the roadside. It seemed like we drove so far from home, but as I started driving myself it really wasn’t so far away. What was once the countryside had now become a new suburban city and the farms were gone.Every summer, Dad would drive the family to our grandparents’ house in Pennsylvania. He liked to start ear-ly in the morning for the six-hour drive so my sisters and I would load into the car still in our pajamas. We would take the Ohio Turnpike across, and by the time we were teen-agers we knew the name of all the rest areas. I remember how fun it was to stop at them and get a penny pressed or shop in the gift shops. My family did not have a lot of money for fancy trips on airplanes, so trips in the car were our ticket to adventure. The biggest adventure we took was a road trip to Florida. It took three days but there were memorable stops along the way. Cumberland Gap, Lookout Mountain, Ruby Falls with souvenir trinkets collected at each stop. Some of Please See Renegade - Page 11 4 - DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Aug. 3, 2023 David Freeze Civil War history in Kinston; Ava Gardner in Smithfield Leftover from my last trip as we ran out of print space was Lillington, county seat of Harnett County. A post office called Lillington has been in opera-tion since 1874. The town was originally called Harnett Court House but was then chartered by North Caro-lina on March 4, 1903. Lillington is named for John Alexander Lilling-ton who was an officer from North Carolina in the American Revolu-tionary War, fighting in the Battle of Moore's Creek Bridge in 1776 and serving as brigadier general in the state militia. Lillington is on the Cape Fear River and has a new Harnett County Court-house. Campbell University is adjacent to the town.•My first stop on July 3 was Raeford, county seat of Hoke County, N.C.'s 99th county. Raeford was granted a U.S. Post Office on Aug. 11, 1885, when it was still in Cumberland County. There were no paved roads, and the economy was strictly based on cotton. The men who operated the turpentine distillery and general store wanted the post office in their store for the convenience of the townspeople. In order to choose a name for the post office, they took a syllable from each of their names. One being John McRae, and one being A.A. Wil-liford, and the town name became "Raeford." The only high school in the county became the Raeford Institute. Raeford was originally settled on the site of an old cotton field with those few families who had settled there making up the popu-lation in 1898. In 1899, the Aberdeen & Rockfish Railroad was extended to the present-day Raeford. When the first train came down the track, teachers let the children from the institute walk through the woods to meet the train.Raeford, chartered in 1901, was composed al-most exclusively of people who had moved to the community in the interest of their children obtaining a better education. Today’s Raeford has the 1912 Hoke County Court-house and is located about 22 miles from Fort Liberty (Bragg).•My next stop was Fay-etteville, county seat of Cumberland County. In 1783, Cross Creek and Campbellton joined together and the new town was incorporated as Fayetteville in honor of Gilbert du Motier, Marquis de Lafayette, the French military hero who aided the American forces during the Revolutionary War. Fay-etteville was the first city to be named in his honor in the United States. Lafayette visited the city on March 4 and 5, 1825, during his tour of the United States.After a devastating downtown fire in 1831 that consumed 600 buildings, the city built a Market House. The new building had a covered area under which business could be conducted since every store in Fayetteville had been destroyed in the fire. Completed in 1832, the Market House became both the town's and county's administrative building until other buildings could be replaced.General Sherman’s Union Army entered Fayetteville on March 11, 1865, where a skirmish occurred near the Market House. On the site of Ft. Liberty, the last all-cavalry battle of the war occurred at Monroe’s Crossing. Sherman’s army caused major destruction to the city.Since the 1960s, Fay-etteville has been one of the fastest growing cities in the state. Fort Liberty, with about 57,000 soldiers and 14,000 support personnel, provides a major boost to the local economy. The downtown portion of Fayetteville was really cool with historic buildings, the train depot, restaurants and shops. The modern Cum-berland County Courthouse is just a block away from the previous one, built in 1926. The 1923 Hotel Prince Charles, after a long list of owners, has recently re-opened as The Residences at the Prince Charles with two original rooms com-bined into one apartment. Parking was easy with lots of marked places on the street. So easy that I got my first parking ticket, one that I will appeal. Not a meter or sign in sight and I only was gone from my truck for 50 minutes.•Lumberton, county seat of Robeson County, was my next stop. Located in southern North Carolina's Inner Banks region, Lum-berton is on the Lumber River and is named for it. It was founded in 1787 by John Willis, an officer in the American Revolution who owned land nearby. Developed as a shipping point for lumber used by the Navy, logs were guided downriver to Georgetown, S.C. Lumberton was formally created by an act of the N.C. General Assembly on Nov. 3, 1788, which granted the town a charter and the power to levy taxes. Most of the town’s growth happened after World War II. Robeson County was impacted by Hurricanes Matthew in 2016 and Flor-ence in 2018, which broke the flooding record. As a result of extensive damage to homes, entire streets in south and west Lumberton were left abandoned.Luther Britt Park has 143 acres for outdoor recre-ation and Lumberton has the annual Lumbee Indian Homecoming each July. The Robeson County Courthouse is modern, built in 1987.•Then on to Elizabeth-town, county seat of Bladen County. Established in 1773, the town is celebrat-ing its 250th year. No one is sure of the town’s namesake. The most famous resident is Lt. Col. Brown, a former NASA as-tronaut and retired U.S. Air Force colonel. He partici-pated in six space missions and the airport, the Curtis A mural in Lillington, the county seat of Harnett County; and a mural in Elizabethtown honoring native son Lt. Col. Curtis L. Brown Jr. - Photos by David Freeze The Bladen County Courthouse in Elizabethtown. The former Hotel Prince Charles in Fayetteville is now apartments. At right is the Harnett County Courthouse in Lillington. L. Brown Jr. Field Airport, is named in his honor.The Battle of Elizabeth-town took place in town during the Revolutionary War on Sept. 29, 1781, when a small force of about 60 patriots defeated roughly 300 Tories. The Tory Hole Battleground has a marker denoting the battle.While I was there, rain threatened but never got serious. A large town-wide sidewalk sale was in progress and drew plenty of pedestrian traffic. I stopped for a couple of pastries at “Burney’s Sweets and More” before leaving this friendly town. Five more counties done for a total of 79, with 21 to go. See you next week.

DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Aug. 3, 2023 - 5 By Jeanna Baxter WhiteWord Master Media Group Emma James has found a career close to home, thanks in part to Ignite Davie Col-lege Promise. Born and raised in Davie County, she graduated from Davie High in 2021, Da-vidson-Davie Community College through Ignite Da-vie in Spring 2022, and im-mediately went to work as a Dental Assistant 2 at Hills-dale Dental in Advance. Ignite Davie is a place-based last-dollar scholar-ship, meaning students must live in and attend school in Davie County. All eligible high school graduates, re-gardless of financial need or academic ability, can con-tinue their education and training to open the door to careers.During the year-long program, James spent eight months in the classroom and the last four months completing two eight-week clinical rotations. Hillsdale Dental was her first, and she bonded with the staff, staying in touch during her second rotation. She was thrilled to get a job offer from them as soon as she graduated. A year later, she still loves her job. Like most dental assis-tants, James calls patients and sets up appointments, explains procedures, as-sists the dentist with patient care, and cleans up the exam room. But as a Certified Den-tal Assistant 2, she is also legally allowed to take X-rays, clean children’s teeth, place sealants, monitor ni-trous oxide sedation, and assist with core buildups, a restorative dental proce-dure that involves replacing missing tooth structure with a special filling material. The accreditations she’s earned through DDCC’s dental assistance program make her a valuable em-ployee. “Emma was the first DDCC student to do their clinical rotation with us, and she immediately meshed with our staff. They all loved her and begged us to hire her,” said Dr. Adam Dorsett. “DDCC offers one of the best dental assistant programs out there, and the students graduate with the skills needed to hit the ground running.” Dorsett said Hillsdale Dental recently hired its second assistant from the program. He remembers when DDCC President Dr. Dar-rin Hartness called him and told him that the college was adding a dental assis-tant program and asked for his help. “We immediately agreed to be a training ground and a place for job shadowing. He was also the one who told me about Ignite Davie, which I thought was a great opportunity for the kids of Davie County.” Over the years, Hills-dale Dental has offered job shadowing opportunities for Davie High and DDCC stu-dents. Some classes at the high school require students to shadow a medical profes-sional, and 10 hours of job shadowing is a prerequisite for enrollment in the dental assistant program. Also a financial supporter of Ignite Davie, he encour-ages all businesses to sup-port and get involved with DDCC and Ignite Davie. “As an employer, it has been great. We’ve gotten to meet lots of different people and have benefited directly from the program.“Emma has a bright fu-ture in dentistry, and Ignite Davie gave her a great step up toward her dental career by removing financial hur-dles from her education.” With Dorsett’s encour-agement, James is studying to become a dental hygien-ist. The program isn’t of- fered at DDCC, so she is responsible for paying for her own tuition, fees, and books. The expense has caused her to appreciate the Ignite Davie program even more. “Going to school is ex-pensive, but because of Ig-nite Davie, I didn’t have to worry about student loans or if the career I wanted was feasible for my family. Not having to worry about money meant I was able to fully focus on studying for my classes. “I would tell any student to take advantage of this op-portunity to go to commu-nity college for two years without a financial burden,” said James. “A lot of stu-dents don’t even know what they want to do, so finding out at community college is a lot easier on the brain and the wallet. They can always transfer to a four-year uni- versity later.” She is grateful to all of the people who have made Ig-nite Davie possible. “Thank you, you opened up a door-way I didn’t know I had.” Once endowed, Ignite Davie is designed to ben-efit business owners, teach-ers, parents of elementary schoolers, grandparents, students who want to work with their hands, first-gen-eration college students, and students who want to attend a 4-year university.The Davie Community Foundation is helping to raise the final $1 million of the $3 million endowment goal. Once achieved, the endowment will provide an-nual earnings to cover pro-gram costs indefinitely.To add support, visit Da-vieFoundation.org/donate and select Ignite Davie from the dropdown list.

Our Daily Bread Food Pantry will use the gift to Continued From Page 3Some of which I still have tucked away much like my memories of those fun vacations. Once we got to my aunt’s house in Florida a new adventure began. In my memory it seems we spent the whole summer, but it was just a few weeks. My mom and her sister each had three children. Mom had three girls, and Aunt Skeets had three boys, all of us about the same ages. We spent our days swimming in their pool and play-ing Canasta outside where we hardly noticed the heat be-cause we were having so much fun. Every few days we would pile into the cars and head out on day trips. Bus-ch Gardens was a popular destination back then, Disney World was just swamp land designated to becoming a sec-ond Disneyland. Some days we would just drive the cars right onto the beach with a picnic lunch and coolers full of cold beverages for both grownups and the kids. We spent hours playing in the sand and the ocean while our parents watched the waves and caught some sun. On one day trip we went to St. Augustine, I loved the history of the city. In my child’s mind it seemed that everything was built from crushed seashells. I remember visiting a castle and seeing an outdoor play about Ponce De Leon. I truly believed that the Fountain would really make you young. Whether a day trip to see local sites or trips across the country, these road trips of my youth created a wan-derlust in me that resonated throughout my entire life. I love to drive just like my dad did. I take many longer trips just by myself in the car, listening to the radio or an audiobook. I also love to drive in silence, fully taking in my ever-changing surroundings as I make my way to my destination. How cute!By Marie CraigWhen my two sons were toddlers, I kept a spiral note-book in the living room within reach so that I could write down funny things they said and did. I used the first half of the notebook for one son, and the second half for his brother. I’m not sure why I was inspired to do this, but I am so glad I did.

Pressure canners with weighted gauges (jiggler types) are not tested, as they are supposed to main-tain accuracy.Foods with low acid- ity, such as green beans and other vegetables, must be processed in a pressure canner following a tested recipe to ensure food safe-ty and avoid the risk of botulism poisoning. Meat, seafood and poultry should also be processed in a pres-sure canner.

Later, I typed them on my typewriter, and then even later, I digitized them. If you have young children or grandchildren, I strongly recommend you doing this. Write down even the challenging things -- a child sitting in the middle of five pounds of flour or the baby chewing on the cat’s tail. We lived in Tallahassee, Fla. when they were young. The younger one fell out of the glass bottom boat in beau-tiful, clear water that was the home to huge alligators. Luckily, my husband was a strong swimmer who jumped in quickly and treaded water with our son until the new boat driver could figure out how to get stopped. At this time, my mother lived in Western North Caro-lina. We drove up there for Christmas, and the first night, it started snowing. She turned on the porch light, held my son up, and he said, “Bugs! Bugs!” Back then, tattoos were not very common. We saw a man with tattooed arms shopping in the grocery store. My son looked him in the eyes and said, “Bad! Bad!” He asked me once: “Does God have a ruler?” I an-swered that I didn’t think so. “So how did he get my legs the same length?”While his dad was “watching him”, he ate half of a pie in the refrigerator. When we took my mother to the airport and watched her plane take off, he asked, “Come apart?” That was a little upsetting until I realized that he had watched space rockets take off and intentionally separate.“Where’s the fire go when it burns out?” My husband’s voice from the kitchen, “Get the knitting needles out of the Jello.” Only parents would say such a ridiculous sentence. When he tore my sponge into tiny pieces, his reason was, “So I could count them.” “When will it be yesterday?” “Why don’t you glue it back and then it’ll be as brand as new?”Our other son had an imaginary raccoon in the back yard that he named Jingle. He also had unique ways of saying things. “Help me turn a somersault all by myself.” “I dreamed something last night, and I’m not going to show you what it is.” “Can you get over where the whole wide world wasn’t?”I treasure these wild things my sons said and did. They would be totally forgotten if I hadn’t put them in a journal. 118 Hospital st. • Mocksville, Nc 27028 • 336.751.6289 “Because you should want to see your dentist” Accepting Most Major Insurances | RiversFamilyDentistry.com Andrew J.

We winded along the less-traveled, scenic road – I was reminded of simpler days. Staggered rows of Christmas trees dotted the hillsides as we made our way to Sparta, spending the night at historic Doughton Hall, an idyllic countryside bed and breakfast.The next morning, we continued our trek for miles while enjoying passive mountain views and rolling hills. Open-air markets, yard sales, artisan booths, and food truck treats appealed to the bargain shoppers and avid foodies traveling with me.After arriving in Wytheville, we stumbled upon a de-lightful dining spot – a log establishment dating back to 1776. With a colorful flower garden out back, we caught glimpses of live turtles, doves, and rabbits living among the flora. An old carriage house served as the gift shop. Everything about the place was as big a treat as the unpretentious menu. When the time came for us to order, lunch offerings gave us a glimpse of what might have been eaten in a bygone era – a long list of nothing but simple, yet satisfying, sand-wiches.What is it about plain, crusty bread that we love so much? For me, it’s the smile-provok-ing memory of Mama packing a picnic for the pool or park. Or an effortless suppertime meal eaten at our kitchen table or in the back-yard while watching the sun go down. As kids, we wolfed down stacks of “sammich” triangles during those now-gone-by humid days. The no-fuss, easy, manageable, and ordinary sandwich is a much-beloved choice for any meal. We love it, and it loves us right back. A crusty bread Sammy can stand alone – it doesn’t need much filling; it loves us when we’re too tired to make dinner and when it’s too hot to cook. It’s never high maintenance unless you demand it to be piled upon, and it doesn’t insist on being complicated to emote good taste. The bread combo gets along well with lettuce, tomato, and usually onion – and always shows love for peanut butter and bananas. The great American sandwich - it's the one meal that scores high in taste and is everyone's favorite. When served alongside a plain, leafy green salad drizzled with a homemade vinaigrette – you'll never eat better. Simple eating. And don’t forget the homegrown to-matoes that beg inclusion.Solomon wrote most of the book of Proverbs to teach people how to attain wisdom and apply it to their daily lives by living Godly. One translation of Proverbs 17: 1-2 reads, “Better a dry crust with peace and quiet than a house full of feasting with strife.” (NIV)For a word that means easy - simplicity is a profound word. Often, building a simple life gives way to a smoother and more even-keel existence – one without so many com-plications. Fewer conflicts don’t mean life will always be easy, but you will face fewer resolution-demanding issues. Build a solid foundation with loving attitudes toward oth-ers and a love for God. Kind of like when building a simple sandwich – you will build a more peaceful life through love – and remember, “better a bread crust shared in love than a slab of prime rib served in hate.” GOAT CHEESE AND CHICKEN SAMMICH4 oz. softened, log goat cheese2 Tbsp. balsamic syrup8 toasted slices brioche1 lb. ¼-inch sliced, marinated chicken2 cups sliced pickled beets1 thickly sliced granny Smith apple4 Tbsp. pure honeyOn each piece of toasted bread, spread 1 Tbsp. of goat cheese.

Holy cow, Davie’s football team did the craziest thing in a big nonconference showdown at Page in 2008. The War Eagles could not have played worse in the first half as they dug a 34-8 halftime deficit. They could not have played bet-ter in the second half. An insane comeback saw them score 28 unanswered points in a span of 7:34 and ultimately survive 50-49 in overtime. It remains the largest comeback in Davie’s 68-year history. “Do you know what you just did?” coach Doug Illing screamed to his ecstatic players in the post-game huddle. “If you believe and you trust one another, anything can By Brian PittsEnterprise Record Here’s how good Carson Whisenhunt’s changeup is. “You could tell them it’s com-ing and they still can’t hit it,” Rich-mond Flying Squirrels manager Dennis Pelfrey said. Whisenhunt has been baffling batters with that changeup since he played for the Davie Crush in 12-U travel ball. Over the years he has developed three changeups. “If I’m behind in the count and don’t want to throw a mid-dle-middle heater, I have one that doesn’t move as much that I can steal a strike with,” Whisenhunt said. “And depending on the bar-rel path and their swing, I have two - one that fades out with more movement and one that’s straight down. It just depends on the hitter and what me and the catcher are seeing at the same time.”“It’s a very effective pitch,” Pelfrey said. “As long as he contin-ues to throw the fastball for strikes, he’s going to do a lot of really good things with the changeup and give himself a chance to get guys out every single time.”Whisenhunt appears to be on the fast track. He started the year in Low-A and moved up to High-A and then got the call to Double-A. In a recent outing for Rich-mond, Whisenhunt threw four shutout innings with five strike-outs. That lowered his ERA in Double-A to 3.20 and his season ERA to 2.45. For the season, he has 83 Ks in 58.2 innings, he’s only allowed three homers and opponents are hitting just .177. What about Whisenhunt’s fast-ball and curveball? His fastball was clocked at 96 mph in the Futures Game, when he struck out two in one scoreless relief inning. Although the curve is his No. 3 pitch, he’s looking to throw it more to give batters something else to think about when they step in the box. “The changeup has always been there, so now me and our pitching coaches here have been talking about trying to set it up,” he said. “They want me to use the curveball more and then obviously work on the fastball command, which is definitely getting better. Having that third pitch is going to be big, but obviously the changeup is still going to be my go-to. It doesn’t matter if you’re a lefty or righty.”Whisenhunt is the No. 90 pros-pect on Baseball America’s top 100 and he’s No. 95 on MLB Pipeline’s list. He could get a opportunity in Triple-A before the season ends, and he could be with the San Francisco Giants at some point in 2024. “It’s definitely happened faster than I thought it would, but the biggest thing is just trying to keep the same mentality every time I go out there,” he said. “I didn’t expect to move this quickly since I got here, but I’ve enjoyed every step of it so far.” By Brian PittsEnterprise Record Whit Merrifield has become Toronto’s new leadoff man by simply being brilliant week after week after week. On May 18 Merrifield was hitting .263. But then he got hot. From July 4-26, the 34-year-old veteran hit .373 (25 for 67) and hit safely in 14 of 17 games. In his first 19 games in July, he slashed .352/.377/.592 with five of his sev-en home runs and also had 14 runs and 16 RBIs in that span. In his first 17 July games, he delivered eight multi-hit efforts. After spending all season in the bottom half of the order, Merri-field took over the leadoff spot on July 28. The three-time All-Star responded with three hits and his sixth homer in 17 games to help the Blue Jays beat the Angles 4-1. Merrifield entered the week with a shiny .305 average. To put that number in perspective, the league average is .248 and only 11 players in all of Major League Baseball are hitting .300. His .305 mark is good for eighth place in the majors. One more thing: Merrifield was hitting .253 with two strikes through July 28, ranking sixth in the majors in that category - and that was before he had two two-strike hits on July 29. Merrifield’s sizzling bat has helped the Blue Jays hit their stride. They were a season-best 13 games above .500 (59-46) on July 29 thanks to 13 wins in 19 games.

You did something that ain’t never been done before. You made history.”Davie running back James Mayfield and Page receiver Brad Workinger had go-ahead and ty-ing touchdowns, respectively, in the final 2:56 of regulation. Then Page quarterback Will Newman sneaked in from the 1-yard line in overtime. Then Chase Sampson made one of Davie’s biggest plays by blocking the extra point. On the OT possession for Davie, quarter-back Zach Illing and receiver Joe Watson hooked up in the end zone for the third time, Michael Rowe drilled the tiebreaking extra point and elation poured out of the War Eagles and their faithful fans. “That was unbelievable,” offen-sive coordinator Barry Whitlock said. “That’s one to remember. How do you win after you’re down 34-8 playing 12-minute quarters? It’s hard to believe.”“That’s something you don’t forget,” defensive line coach Ran-dy Athey said. “I feel bad for the people that left early.” Davie, ranked fifth in the 4-A state, improved to 5-1. Page slipped to 3-3. It was a vintage game for the Illing/Watson combination. Illing went 20 of 32 for 377 yards, throw-ing four TDs and no interceptions. Watson made eight catches for 141 yards. Illing completed at least two passes to five different receiv-ers, including Mayfield, Jarrell Marshall, Darius Wilson and PJ Neely. Page limited Mayfield to 55 rushing yards, but Mayfield com-pensated with 104 receiving yards. Page put up its own eye-pop-ping numbers, with Newman going 21 of 37 for 303 yards, Perry Fryer rushing for 135 yards and Jeremy Collie making eight catches for 118 yards. Davie fans walked out in a disbelief because the War Eagles looked entirely overmatched in the first half. It was 27-0 two minutes into the second quarter, and Page made it 34-8 with 1:07 left in the half. “We were letting them do what-ever they wanted,” D. Illing said. “It was embarrassing. That’s why I made them run all the way up to the locker room. I told them not to stop. The only reason we stopped is because they had the gate locked and we couldn’t get through it. It was embarrassing.”While Page appeared headed for an easy win, Davie pulled off a magic trick in the second half. Its tweaked-up defense became absolutely smothering, and Illing carved up a highly-regarded de-fense with 270 yards on 13-of-20 passing in the second half. “We had a good talk at half-time,” outside linebacker Matt Speer said. “We went back to our old defense.”“Coach Illing said: ‘Believe,’” said outside linebacker Santana Arnold, one of the heroes with a fumble-recovery touchdown and an interception. What’s remarkable is Davie ral-lied against a high-powered oppo-nent that featured two Division-I prospects on the defensive line. By Brian PittsEnterprise Record A look back at Davie sports 50 years ago ... • Tim Austin claimed first overall, running a time of 14:10 on North Forsyth’s 2.6-mile course and leading the 1973 Davie cross country team past three opponents. Davie placed six runners in the top 10, including Kenneth Blackwell, Mike Barnhardt, Reggie Lyons, Craig Williams and Ricky Spry. Davie took nine of the top 10 spots in a 15-50 win over visiting North Iredell. Austin’s 11:40 was a record time on Davie’s 2.3-mile course.

In a four-team meet at Grimsley, Austin (14:52) broke the record for the Whirlies’ 2.7-mile course. Barnhardt was Davie’s other top-10 finisher at 15:26. • Halfback Jeff A. Ward, halfback Marcus Wilson, end Tom Anderson and de-fensive back Craig Michael scored two touchdowns each as Davie’s 1973 football team trampled North Stanly 64-6. Anderson scored on 23- and 57-yard passes from Tom Eanes, and Michael returned two interceptions for TDs (75 and 21 yards). The War Eagles im-proved to 4-0 with a hard-fought 13-6 win at South Iredell. They took a 6-0 lead by driving 75 yards and scoring on a pass from Eanes to Billy Clark. It was 6-6 when Jeff H. Ward recovered a fumble at the Vikings’ 20. Jeff A. Ward scored from 2 yards out and David Dwiggins kicked the extra point to give Davie the victory. • In the Rowan Junior Football League, Coolee-mee handled the Spencer Jaycees 24-6.

DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Aug. 3, 2023 ‑ B3 I didn’t really worry too much about “bachelor groups” of whitetail bucks for a number of years. First, a shoulder injury pretty much ended my ar-chery career, and I didn’t think a big investment in a crossbow was a good thing, seeing as how I spent so much time at the coast in September and October, trying to catch trout, redfish and flounder, and being a devoted bowhunter takes dedication.Then, in 2018, three of us got a little hunting lease, a 50-acre farm with deer and turkey sign aplen-ty. The other two hunted during bow season, so we naturally started all our preparations early, planting four clover patches and lo-cating stands pretty close. We put up a few trail cam-eras, limed everything and fertilized everything and sat back.One day, our lives changed – the day we har-vested the first set of SIM cards from the cameras. That’s when I started pay-ing attention to “bachelor groups” – because boy, did we have one. It was made up of a great 10-pointer, an even better 8-pointer, an almost-as-good 8-pointer that looked like the biggest 8-pointer’s first-generation offspring, a decent 8-point-er with a big rear end and a big 6-pointer that looked like the biggest 8-pointer’s second-generation off-spring. We figured we were looking at two 4½-year-old bucks, a 3½-year-old buck and a couple of 2½-year-old bucks. Suddenly, we were in-terested in those running buddies like never before. We got them on three trail cameras, followed their growth from early July on into early September, tried to plot their movements by the time stamps on the trail-cam photos. We couldn’t wait to get up there every Saturday to see what new wonders the trail cams held. We gave them all nicknames: Ten Daddy, Big Boy 8, Notch (both of his ears sported notches from the previous season’s spar-ring sessions), Fat Butt and Big 6. We were like proud papas of a great covey of buck-skinned children.A bachelor group of bucks is a handful of bucks that gathers in early sum-mer and hangs together un-til they shed the velvet from their antlers, usually in ear-ly September. They come and go, largely as a group. It is thought that bucks gather in groups because there’s safety in numbers, and they “Bachelor” whitetail bucks gang up during the summer, establishing good feeding and bedding patterns that last until September when they shed their antler velvet, split up and become enemies - at least in the competi- tion for does. are not quite as formidable foes to anything dangerous when they’re wearing soft, growing antlers covered in velvet. They’re left with sharp hooves as their main defense against predators, and the more hooves, the better the defense.Biologists believe that bachelor groups are usually made up of deer from the same general age bracket – mature bucks or yearlings.. You’ll rarely see a year-old spike buck running with mature bucks grow-ing rocking-chair racks on top of their heads. You’ll see groups of big bucks, and groups of little bucks, and rarely the twain shall meet. Often, the groups of younger bucks will be smaller, only two or three. The groups of bigger bucks might number to a half-doz-en or better. Three or four is the most-likely number as far as group size goes.Biologists also believe that bachelor groups oc-cupy a small home range within their area. They may not move more than a few hundred yards in a day’s time if good food is pres-ent. That’s when their hab-its develop – if they’re in the edge of one bean field at 7:30 one evening, they’ll probably be at the same spot for several nights in a row before the food runs out or something else – maybe coyotes or some free-running dogs – move them along.Bucks do the great ma-jority of their antler grow-ing in July and early Au-gust, so you can actually watch them grow. A prom-ising 8-pointer becomes a good 8-pointer, then a great 8-pointer, in the space of 30 days.Bachelor groups are not terribly important to those of us who wait until blackpowder season to ar-rive to climb up in a deer stand. But they can have tremendous effects on bow hunters, with the season arriving in mid-September, often before velvet is shed and bachelor groups blow up. And blow up they will. Although they will have done a lot of work in es-tablishing a pecking order while their velvet was still intact, they don’t much want to be around each oth-er when the velvet is gone and those antlers are dan-gerous, sometimes deadly. When bucks start to shed their velvet – it’s often all removed in the space of a couple of hours, or may-be over a 48-hour period – they will go their own way, establish their own home ranges, and general-ly stay out of each other’s way until the rut, the peak of the breeding period, ap-proaches. Our bachelor group disbanded in the time it takes to snap your fin-gers. One day they were all there, working over a clover patch, velvet intact, and the next day, there was only the biggest 8-pointer, with nary a scrap of velvet left, on one trail camera. A week or so later, we got one trail-cam photo of the big 10-pointer, all of his velvet gone, in front of a different camera.. We never saw the other three again. The big 10-pointer died the first week of gun season on an adjoining property. We never saw the biggest 8-pointer again.That’s why early season archery hunters need to pay so much attention to bache-lor groups. Those deer are going to be using the same areas over a period of time, and they can be more easily patterned. Are they around one persimmon tree at the crack of dawn every morn-ing the week of Labor day? Are they showing up in the same corner of the same bean field every evening at 7:45? Savvy bowhunters will figure out how they’re arriving at those areas and set up to intercept them along the way. But once the first week or so of the season pass-es, and velvet disappears and bachelor groups split up, it’s time to go back to work and figure out what’s left on your plot of land, and where he’s going on a daily basis. That might be fun, but it’s not as fun as watching a handful of bucks who are anything but camera shy, cavorting on a daily basis like a bunch of kids coming home from a schoolyard baseball game. Watching summer’s ‘bachelor bucks’ can be fun Davie American Little League Player Spotlights Annie-Kate Harbour of the softball Grasshoppers caught a fly ball and made a double play. She also made several outs while playing first base. She kept morale up with her teammates, cheering them on and leading the team in chants. At the plate, she hit well throughout the game. Jameson Gilliam of the Rail Rid- ers had his best game at the plate when he had a base hit to start a key two-out rally in the last inning that helped his team get the win. He also played an awesome game at catcher and in the outfield. McKenna Murphy of the softball Wolfpack went 4 for 5 with three runs and two RBIs. On defense, she had lots of hustle plays and outs at pitcher. Sam Cheeks of the T-ball Bulls has improved majorly on his batting and stance. He’s always focused on the field and goes after the ball. Sam is a born baller and is working hard on his hand/eye coordination. 132 Interstate Drive Mocksville, NC 27028 (336) 753-8473 Hours: Mon. - Fri. 7:30 - 5:30 MockBerothTire.com 11 LOCATIONS TO SERVE YOU! 100$INSTANT SAVINGS 1 GET UP TO $70 $60WHEN YOU BUY A SET OF 4 ELIGIBLE BRIDGESTONE TIRES WHEN YOU BUY A SET OF 4 ELIGIBLE FIRESTONE TIRES WHEN YOU USE YOUR CFNA CREDIT CARD2$30 OFFER VALID 04.01.23 - 04.30.23 1 Receive $70 off 4 eligible Bridgestone tires or $60 off 4 eligible Firestone tires purchased between April 1 and April 30, 2023.

Kopetzky has been play-ing soccer since he was 3 and is following in his fa-ther’s footsteps as a coach. He enjoys being a coach as he gets to know different sides of student-athletes. He loves watching them grow. At the beginning of camp, there were stations that focused on dribbling, shooting and defensive skills. Younger kids worked these drills with fun games such as red light/green light. Avery Yount, Fuller Kate Holt and Riley Almond ran triangle drills with middle schoolers in order to work on passing skills. They also ran scrimmag-es, with coach Collin Fere-bee getting some action in. Lanna Robinson loved the scrimmages. Rebollar, who runs the boys soccer team, gave the advice to keep their heads up while playing, commu-nicate with each other and spread out. In between activities, kids had water breaks and made TikTok for the Davie County Soccer page with the help of Jaden Sink. Camp counselors helped demonstrate how to do many skills, competed with each other and most impor-tantly had fun. Kimberly Tor-res-Ramirez feels honored to be teaching a new gener-ation of soccer players. She enjoyed watching them have fun and hopes this camp and this future generation of soccer players will bring more attention to the sport. in conjuction with the Davie County Enterprise Record Invite you to nominate an individual to be recognized as VETERAN OF THE MONTH A Veteran will be chosen from the entries and published in the Davie County Enterprise Record on the first Thursday of the month. sponsored by: Submit your nominationourdavie.com/veterans Young soccer players learn skills at Davie High camp Jaden Sink dribbles with Rylie Rebollar (left). - Photos by Kat Woodruff-Carter, Davie High Intern Kim Torres and Lanna Robinson (right) coach campers Sidney Mitchell (left) and Maddox Morgan.

DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Aug. 3, 2023 - B5 By Kat Woodruff-CarterDavie High Intern The Davie girls basket-ball program team held its third day of camp on July 26. The theme was Neon Day. They started the day with stretching as a team, fol-lowed by a fun game for team-building work. Then they split into sta-tions. Station One was run by senior Malayka Rankin and sophomore Bailey Aderhold. The girls worked on toughness, and ran Flor-ida Gator drills. Station Two was run by sophomore Makenzie Gen-try and freshman Vivian Vaughters. Girls learned types of passing, every-thing from chest passes to overhead passes. They even started a challenge to get the first group of partners to 10. Vaughters started playing basketball in eighth grade Continued From Page B1line. Something even more remarkable about the fu-rious rally: Davie’s first possession of the second half ended with a sack and a partially-blocked punt. When the Davie defense forced a three-and-out, the improbable began. Illing swung a pass to Mayfield for 27 yards, then found Watson for 35. Cornerback TJ Todd, who boasted in the Greensboro News & Record that Page’s defense was the “Red Death,” was repeated-ly burned by Watson, who made a 6-yard catch in the end zone. Mayfield’s two-point run cut the deficit to 34-16 with 7:09 left in the third quarter. “(Todd) couldn’t handle Joe,” Z. Illing said. Page lost 9 yards on a sack by a blitzing Arnold, Page punted and Watson beat Todd for 35 yards. Then Illing and Wilson hooked up for an unbelievable 34-yard play down the left sideline to the Page 2. It was 34-22 when Mayfield, who had three TDs after missing the previous three games with a shoulder injury, scored on the next play. “How did Zach get it in there between two guys?” Whitlock said of the pass to Wilson. Skeeter Montgomery, a running back who provided a big boost in his first ac-tion at nose guard, dropped Fryer 2 yards behind the line. Pressure by Speer and Montgomery forced an in-completion, and Page was punting for the third time in three third-quarter pos-sessions. “At halftime we talked about believing in each oth-er and playing our assign-ments,” linebacker Chris Sponaugle said. “Coaches made adjustments and we had faith in one another.”With Page bringing heat up the middle, Illing back-pedaled, coaxed the defense closer and floated a screen to Mayfield, who rambled 47 yards to the end zone. Suddenly, it was 34-29 with 1:09 left in the third. “Zach did a good job of finding a window around (6-5, 240-pound Gabe King) and (6-4, 270-pound Chris Jasperse),” D. Illing said. Now Davie was smelling blood. Sampson and Zach Long dropped Fryer after 2 yards and Tanis Jefferies squeezed Newman on the edge - a loss of 5. After Collie momentarily restored order for Page with a 40-yard catch-and-run, lineman Justin Miller made the hit of the game. Newman ran an option and a Miller hit dislodged the ball. Arnold scooped it and lumbered 45 yards to paydirt. “I used the swim move to get over him, and I swatted with my left hand when I saw that he was going to pitch it,” Miller said. “They work on that in turnover circuit, and I’m glad to see it work on the field,” coach Illing said. Arnold came out of no-where, grabbed the ball and gave Davie a 36-34 lead. “Coach always says hustle to the ball,” Arnold said. “I got the perfect bounce.”The drama was just be-ginning. Cornerback Perry James recovered a Fryer fumble at the Davie 25, but four plays later, Long airmailed a snap over punt-er Rowe’s head and into the end zone. Rowe alert-ly kicked the ball out of bounds, preventing a pos-sible Page touchdown and giving the Pirates a game-ty-ing safety. Page took the ensuing kick and moved to the Davie 29. With the fourth-quarter clock under five minutes, Arnold saved the day by intercepting a pass intended for Collie at the Davie 25 and returning it 24 yards. “They ran that (slant) a couple plays before,” Ar-nold said. “I messed up on it because I didn’t jam the No. 3 receiver and look at the No. 1 receiver. Coach said if I did what I had to do I’ll have an interception.”Mayfield took another swing pass for 15 yards and Watson hauled in a 16-yarder. Two plays later, Mayfield rode left tackle Lewis Favre’s blocking and thundered 20 yards for a 43-36 lead at 2:56. While the ground game had been bottled up all game, May-field broke free when it mattered most. “Coach Whitlock saw No. 99 (King) gassed and knew we could block him,” D. Illing said. Unfazed, the Pirates covered 66 yards in two minutes, tying the game at 43-43 on a 21-yard catch by Workinger. Now two exhausted teams had to hunker down in overtime. After Page won the toss, Fryer bolted 9 yards to the 1. Newman sneaked in for a 49-43 Page lead. But in another breath-taking moment for the War Eagles, Sampson blocked the point-after try. “Me, Tanis and Miller all lined up in the A gap beside the center,” Sampson said. “They blocked down and I just went around.”Davie hearts skipped a beat when Illing botched a handoff on first down. Mayfield won a scrum for the ball, but Davie lost 4 yards back to the 14. But on second down, Illing hit Watson on a crossing route in the end zone, and then Rowe’s PAT gave Davie a lifetime thrill. “Man, I don’t even have words for it,” Sponaugle said. “I can’t describe what I’m feeling right now. It’s the best feeling in the world.”When Rowe sent the extra point straight down the middle, jubilant fans ran onto the field as teammates gave one another bear hugs. “I started worrying about the defense cramping,” D. Illing said. “But they found a way to gut it up, forget the cramps and play football.” Insane ... 336-751-HELP 24 HOUR CRISIS LINE OUR SERVICES INCLUDE: 24-Hour Crisis Line • Assistance Filing Protective Orders Crisis Counseling • Support Groups Domestic Violence & Sexual Assault Information Emergency Shelter Assistance * National Coalition Against Domestic Violence.

She loves the bigger crowd and the faster pace. She prefers playing defense, and loves volunteering at camp be-cause of the kids and her ability to teach them new things. At Station Three, se-nior Kenadi Gentry and freshmen Emmie Burris ran the ball-handling station. Senior Peyton Spaugh and freshman Madison Daugh-erty were trainers for the day and taught the kids to do eight-minute AMRAP workouts. Station Five had fresh-man Londyn McDowell teaching them to do contact layups. Station Six was run by freshman Hayden Guvura, who coached them through one-on-one zigzags and mirror drills. Children from kindergar-ten through second grade also learned some basket- ball skills. Kaylee Richard-son, Maddie Ratledge, Kate Nicholson, Brittyn Carrier and Hannah McMillian all helped out on this side of the camp. McMillian said she loves being someone the kids look up to and hopes they will follow in her footsteps. This is McMillian’s first full sea-son since tearing her ACL at West Forsyth. She can’t wait to play defense again for Davie. The K-2 children worked on dribbling with one hand, hand-eye coordination and proper form for activities like shooting. They also played fun games like Sharks and Minnows to work on holding the ball close to their chest. Coach Lindsey Adams joined the Davie in 2020 and is excited to start her forth year at Davie and her sixth year of being a basketball coach. She hopes the camp will spark an interest in basketball. She also tries to introduce skills that these students will be able to prac-tice by themselves. Her favorite thing about basketball is the life lessons of discipline, accountability and mental toughness. The advice she has to anyone looking to start and play basketball is to be quick and not overthink.The camp lasted from July 24-27. Adams closed the camp by handing out awards. In the K-2 division, the award winners were Elizabeth Porter (most im-proved), Kinsley Wilson (War Eagle Award) and Ella Griffin (MVP). In the third-fifth division, the winners were Macie Miller (most improved), Rhaelyn Stephens (War Ea-gle Award) and Stella Brock (MVP). And in the middle school division, the winners were Layla Hazlip (most im-proved), Makayla Brooks (War Eagle Award) and Gracie Shore (MVP).

So when Major League Baseball announced the Cardinals would play against the Cubs in London, they went to work, securing tickets and flights and other sights to see in England. Of course, they couldn’t leave home without the latest edition of the Davie County Enterprise Rcord, which they are holding at the entrance of London Stadium. Major League Baseball modified the stadium for baseball play from its normal soccer configuration. The Cubs won, 9-1, on Saturday June 24, but the Cardinals won on Sunday, June 25, by the score of 7-4. Over 59,000 filled the stadium. How man others carried along a copy of their hometown newspaper? It’s a blimy baseball game This newspaper really gets around ... B12 - DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Aug. 3, 2023 By Rick BurkeNavy Office of Community Outreach MAYPORT, Fla. - Lt. Taylor Randall, a native of Mocksville, serves aboard Naval Station (NAVSTA) Mayport here.Randall, a 2008 gradu-ate of Davie County High School, joined the Navy more than nine years ago.She graduated from the University of North Caro-lina at Chapel Hill in 2011 with a bachelor’s degree in psychology and in 2022 from American University Washington College of Law with a Juris Doctorate.“I joined the Navy be-cause I believed in the dem-ocratic principles on which our country was founded and I wanted to serve in a role where I could defend those principles,” said Ran-dall.Today, Randall relies upon skills and values simi-lar to those found in Mocks-ville to succeed in the mil-itary.“My family, teachers and mentors from my home-town demonstrated that in-terpersonal relationships are key to success, regardless of your occupation or your current phase in life,” said Randall.These lessons have helped Randall while serv-ing in the Navy.NAVSTA Mayport is one of three major Navy instal-lations in the Jacksonville area. Mayport is home to a busy seaport as well as an air facility, and has an 8,000 ft. runway capable of han-dling any aircraft in DoD inventory. The mission of NAVSTA Mayport is to sustain and enhance warfighter readi-ness. The Navy at Mayport covers 3,409 acres and is the third largest naval facil-ity in the continental United States. NAVSTA Mayport is home to more than 70 tenant commands and is home to the U.S. Navy's Fourth Fleet and the Navy’s first Triton squadron, according to Navy officials.NAVSTA Mayport was recently selected as the 2023 recipient of the Commander in Chief’s Annual Award for Installation Excellence. Put simply, Mayport was selected as the best out of all U.S. Navy installations Fleet-wide. With 90 percent of global commerce traveling by sea and access to the internet relying on the security of undersea fiber optic cables, Navy officials continue to emphasize that the pros-perity of the United States is directly linked to trained sailors and a strong Navy."Our mission remains timeless - to provide our fellow citizens with noth-ing less than the very best Navy: fully combat ready at all times, focused on warfighting excellence, and committed to superior lead-ership at every single level," said Adm. Mike Gilday, Chief of Naval Operations. "This is our calling. And I cannot imagine a calling more worthy."Serving in the Navy means Randall is part of a team that is taking on new importance in America’s focus on strengthening alli-ances, modernizing capabil-ities, increasing capacities and maintaining military readiness in support of the National Defense Strategy.“The Navy is instrumen-tal in protecting and project-ing the ideals of freedom and democracy around the world,” said Randall.Randall and the sailors they serve with have many opportunities to achieve ac-complishments during their military service.“My proudest accom-plishment has been my ability to learn and adapt in different environments, such as at sea as a surface warfare officer and ashore as a member of the Judge Advocate General Corps,” said Randall. "Leading and training fellow sailors has been the highlight of my career."As Randall and other sailors continue to train and perform missions, they take pride in serving their coun-try in the U.S. Navy.“Serving in the Navy has given me the ability and opportunity to have unique experiences that I am con-fident that I never would have in my life without the Navy,” said Randall. "It's allowed me to demonstrate to my daughters and other women and men that wom-en play a critical role in a male-dominated workforce, such as serving in the mil-itary."Randall is grateful to others for helping make a Navy career possible.“I would like to thank both my parents, Stanley and Pam Randall, and my husband and two girls for all their love and continuing support,” said Randall.“For anyone who is un-sure of the path that they want to take in life, I encour-age them to talk to a Navy recruiter, enlisted or offi-cer,” added Randall. "The military provides leadership and educational opportuni-ties that are unmatched. For instance, the Navy paid for my law school through the law education program."Davie native Taylor Randall is a lieutenant with the U.S. Navy.

He trained with the 101st Air- borne Division at Camp Breckinridge, Kentucky & was Stationed at Vint Hill Farms Station Army Base in Arlington, Virginia. According to the U.S. Department of Defense, Office of Local Defense Community Cooperation website; “Vint Hill Farms Station was established in 1942 by the Army’s Signals Intelelligence Ser- vice. The 696 acre facil- ity was built because the Army needed a secure lo- cation to serve as a cryp- tography school, and as a refitting station for signal units.” The facility official- ly closed in 1997. His job in the Military was Repairman for the Equipment. He acheived the rank of: E2 Specialist (SPC), Security. Lawrence worked for Western Electric before going into service, then he returned back to Western Electric which became AT&T for 42 service years as an Electrical Engineer working at Western Elec- tric/AT&T on Lexington Road in Winston-Salem and briefly at AT&T in Oklahoma City.
