Cartner, 27, of By Mike BarnhardtEnterprise Record It’s a graphic novel about a 14-year-old boy coming to terms with himself.But if you want to check out “Flamer” from the Davie County Public Library, you’ll have to wait. It’s no longer on the shelves, appar-ently removed after a patron complained to at lease one county official.Again earlier this month, county commissioners were faced with the public wanting to know whether the local li-brary is being censored. The latest came from Deborah Strube, who quoted an Enter-prise Record editorial.“Our concern is that this political, or whatever it is that is running across our coun-try, doesn’t come to Davie County,” she said, noting that taking books off the shelves from public libraries deserve much more consideration than taking them from the shelves of a school library. “Censor-ship and banning prevents adults from getting a good, well-rounded education.“Make sure that politics Flippin’ for Davie Photographer Marnic Lewis captured this image of Davie High cheerleader Claire Burris doing a tumbling routine.

He called library director, Derrick Wold, to the podi-um.Jones asked Wold if any com-missioner had asked that a book be removed. Wold said they had not. The editorial did not name a coun-ty commissioner from order-ing “Flame” be taken from the shelves, it noted a “high rank-ing” county official.Jones then asked if the book is accessible through the li-brary. Wold said it is through the NC Cardinal system, an agreement between libraries to share books. That means a patron in Davie County could request the book, and the li-brary could request it be sent here from another library for that patron.Jones also asked about dis-ruptions such as taking books from or moving books inside Please See Library - Page 4 Greenfield Drive, Mocksville, was served with a criminal summons for misdemeanor cruelty to animals on Aug. 22, six days after the incident on Davie Academy Road. He is scheduled to face the charge Sept. 14 in Davie District Court.Cartner, also an EMT with Davie EMS, was working with the rescue squad when he, along with EMS members, re-sponded to the call. Davie Sheriff J.D. Hartman said the arrest was a result of the department’s investigation.Sheriff’s deputies were called to the scene after the shooting on Aug. 16, and EMS and rescue squad members were still there.The dog, a German Shep-herd named “Sarge”, was owned by Peter Ressa, who said that Cartner initially pet-ted the dog before shooting it a few moments later. “We are able to see people moving books around. We still have peole who are taking books out of the library.” - Derrick Wold Library director Do you know what Robby Bostic, David Benfield, Max Martinez, Emma James, Madison Fendley, Hannah Morgan, Antonia Montana, and Ashley Lipscomb have in common?

Staff heard highlights of graduates working in the community along with the totals of students impacted by the promise. Since the Ignite Davie College Promise began in Fall 2020, 325 students have participated, supported by an Ignite Davie investment of $254,353 through Spring 2023. The fall semester got under way on Aug. 21 with 142 Ignite Davie students enrolled.Ignite Davie students have earned 83 certificates, degrees, and diplomas. In addition to working locally, graduates have Ignite some touchdowns Every War Eagle TD Friday means funds for students transferred to 4-year schools. They had the benefit of two years of tuition and fees paid by Ignite Davie.Since the Davie County Schools were kicking off the com-munity campaign, “IGNITE the Future – Invest in our Kids!” Jane Simpson, foundation CEO, challenged 200 school staff to participate in the fundraising to raise $25,000. To get the staff “fired up,” a friendly competition was announced. The school with the highest percentage of participation will be treated to a “Day of Thanks” with coffee from the Maddie Cakes Cream Puff Truck and lunch delivered from Chick-fil-A. “We want to get the 800 people involved in Davie Coun-ty Schools excited about finishing the $3 million endowment goal,” said Simpson. “Once the goal is reached, Ignite Davie College Promise will be sustainable for future generations. It will be available when today’s kindergarten children are high school seniors. I believe we can reach the goal by the end of 2023 if the community gets involved.” Please See Ignite - Page 4 2 ‑ DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Aug. 31, 2023Editorial Page USPS 149-160 171 S.

Tell us what you think PB&JBy Julie Terry CartnerThe simple things. Farmstand fruits and vegetables. An osprey protecting her brood of nestlings. Peaceful walks through the woods or along the shoreline. An egret pos-ing in the marsh. A field of sunflowers, goldfinches dart-ing here and there, and monarchs fluttering from flower to flower. The sun setting on the beach, the fiery orange glow meeting deep blue water. A blue heron taking flight. A cozy chair and a great book. And, of course, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.Life is complicated, complex, and challenging. Keep-ing your head above the water requires hard work. The responsibilities of being an adult can be overwhelming. Careers, church, home ownership, personal relationships, marriage, children, and all their needs, and possibly, if there’s any time left, hobbies and a social life fill our days and nights, a whirlwind of exhaustion.Sometimes, we just need to stop, take a step back, and give ourselves a break. Sometimes we need to exchange the chicken cordon bleu, mushroom risotto and green bean almondine meals of life for the sandwich of our child-hoods. Peanut butter and jelly can’t answer all of life’s challenges, but maybe this comfort food can make our struggles more palatable. Sure, peanut butter and jelly can be complex with more choices to add to our stress levels. After all, decisions must be made, right? Peanut butter: Smooth or chunky? Jiff or Peter Pan? Jelly: Strawberry? Peach? Grape? Apple? The bread: White? Rye? Brioche? Multigrain? Then we have the most important questions. Crust on or off? Cut from top to bottom or diagonal? Halves or fourths? First bite from the center or from the end? Questions long debated by children of all ages. But we don’t have to make this so complicated. If we return to the simplicity of childhood, the choices are an-swered by what was available. What did Mom have stored in the pantry and refrigerator? What was there was what we ate. Decision making simplified.When I go to the home of my childhood, I prefer the simple things. I need no distractions. My requirements are basic. I need a towel, sunscreen, water, and a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Though I love the rich assortment of locally procured seafood, lunch on the beach needs only to be PB&J, seasoned only with the briny sea air. In the same way that a hot dog surrounded by a ball game tastes better than any other hot dog, a peanut butter and jelly sandwich tastes better when sitting on the beach. For me, life slows down, worries dissipate, responsibil-ity all but vanishes. I am one with the beach, the water, the Community volunteer honored on birthday To the editor:I would like to start out by thanking everyone who came out on Saturday, Aug. 19 to my 81st birthday party.

That’s because taxes are linked to several complementary issues that are controversial. When you talk about taxes, you don’t get one debate; you get several. Among them are questions about fairness, income distribution, simplicity, economic growth and funding of public programs. North Carolina is an ideal state to examine questions about taxes. With the divided government we’ve frequent-ly had at the state level in recent years — meaning the General Assembly is controlled by one party with the gov-ernor from the other party — debates about taxes are typ- ical. So let me delve into the multiple issues tied to taxes and let you make the decisions about winners and losers.The debate over fairness in the tax system is one of the most contentious. The fairness issue is most readily seen in the question about tax rates, especially rates on income. Should all households pay the same rate on a dollar of in-come, regardless of their total income? Those who agree would call this a “flat” or “fair” tax. Or should households with more income pay a higher rate than those with lower income? Supporters call this a “progressive” tax system. North Carolina has a flat personal income tax — mean-ing the same rate for all households regardless of their in-come. The federal government has a progressive income tax system, with higher tax rates applied to brackets of higher income. Of course, there’s a continuous discussion of the range of income brackets and the level of tax rates.There’s a direct link between the question of tax rates and the issue of income distribution. Some advocate us-ing the tax system as a way of redistributing income, or transferring income from higher-income to lower-income households. One simple way of doing this is to tax the income of upper-income households at higher rates and to tax the income of lower-income households at lower rates. Automatically, this makes higher-income households pay more tax per dollar of income. Advocates of spreading income more equally across households would applaud this, while opponents say it punishes accomplishment.The question of simplicity in the tax system is part of the discussion about tax rates. But there’s more to the is-sue, mainly revolving around the idea of deductions. De-ductions are offsets to income occurring when taxpayers spend their money a certain way.For federal and North Carolina income taxes, all tax-paying households can take a standard deduction based on the number of people in the household. But most other deductions, both for businesses and households, are based on specific kinds of spending. One of the largest house-hold deductions is for the interest a homebuyer pays on a mortgage. Renters receive nothing comparable. Another example is the federal tax credit — worth more than a de-duction — that buyers of electric vehicles can take. These offsets to taxes have been questioned on two points. First, they complicate the tax system, often making taxes - especially income taxes - hard to understand. If something is not easily understood, it can create attitudes that the system is manipulated to favor certain groups.Second, the tax offsets can seem unfair, since they only come with the catch that the household or business spends money in a certain way. The broader question is wheth-er the government should be giving tax favors to people who make certain kinds of expenditures. But in response, supporters of the deductions and credits say they are justi-fied if people are motivated to make expenditures that help broader public purposes.Economists have long recognized that taxes can impact the economic activities of both businesses and households. Taxes can hinder the economy by taking away funds that could be used for business expansion, investment in the private sector or simply personal spending that can make households happy. If tax rates are very high, they can also reduce the motivation for a person to work or a business to expand.Yet at the same time, taxes are needed to fund the func-tions of government, such as public safety, transportation, international protection provided by the military and the court system. There can be a healthy debate about the de-gree of need for these functions, but collecting tax reve-nues is the only alternative to borrowing if some level of government programs is to be provided.Interestingly, economic research has long shown that higher tax rates are not necessarily the way to provide more funding for government programs. Research by some economists has shown that raising tax rates may deter enough work and investment to result in lower tax revenues. Reducing tax rates may do the opposite — en-courage enough additional work and investment so as to increase growth in the economy and generate larger tax revenues. There are ongoing efforts by researchers to find the best tax rate that provides the most tax revenue.Taxes are both controversial and complicated. Hopeful-ly, I’ve exposed and explained the areas of disagreement. And since I’ve addressed many issues, I’ve left you with multiple “you decides”!Mike Walden is a William Neal Reynolds Distin-guished Professor Emeritus at North Carolina State University. sun. I can breathe. I can feel the tension disappear from my body like a big, furry dog sheds its winter coat.We should all have this place, this magical place, where adult responsibilities temporarily go away. A place where peanut butter and jelly is the answer to all the questions. A place to sit and just be. A place to escape. A place where I can just be Jule and sit on a beach eating a chunky peanut butter and strawberry jelly sandwich, cut on the diagonal. Old MemoriesBy Gaye HootsI celebrated my seventy-eighth birthday a few weeks ago and realized that while I enjoy many of the modern world conveniences, I cherish most the memories of my childhood. We don’t realize how lucky we are as children. An adult is always responsible for providing you with food, shelter, and safety. We never have that again, yet I was out of the family nest at seventeen. Wanting independence and doing things my way had its price. Most children don’t grasp this, although my great-granddaughter told me when she was three, and I asked her what she wanted to be when she grew up, “I don’t want to grow up.”When I moved from the family home, I was clueless and the only wages I had received were for occasional babysitting. Milking the cow twice daily and working in tobacco on the family farm did not pay, but I was given all the necessities and the best food I ever had in my life. I had no idea what food, housing, or basic daily needs cost.Because I had a year before graduation and was mar-ried and living with my mother-in-law, I did learn a few basics. When I graduated, I had a summer job as a teller and bought a car from my uncle, which my grandfather financed. That fall, I began working at a bank in Winston. A job followed this in the computer department at Hanes Hosiery. Roy was reluctant to let go of the small truck-ing business he had, which was not profitable, so finances were a struggle. By the time Cami was born, he had start-ed buying real estate, finances improved, and we built a home.When I took a leap of faith and moved out on my own, I got a crash course in Finance 101. I did manage though, and was able later to attend nursing school while working full-time to complete a MSN. Growing up on a farm, I got the basics, and living in Advance I had support from much of the community. We all did in that era. We learned survival skills, honesty, and kindness, which extended to our children.While my roots are in Advance, I live in Oriental and love that area. It is smaller and quieter than Advance is now. When I visit Advance, I am in touch with friends I have had for over seventy years. Keeping up with them on Facebook and seeing posts and pictures from my child-hood reminds me of the best times; when I felt my grand-father and father could protect me from any and every-thing. And they did.Playing on the farm and spending time with Grandpa was priceless. He was not religious, but when a small duck or bunny died, we buried it and had a funeral. When a pig-let was too small or weak to nurse; he gave it to me, and it thrived. He taught me to nurture the vulnerable and bury the dead. I learned about the cycle of life there and the val-ue of family. Grandpa was a realist and a tough man, but when one son with a drinking problem came to the house, he let him stay and provided food but never money.He had strong opinions, but I never saw him threaten violence. My father said he often thrashed them soundly as boys but never spanked me. When Daddy would, Grandpa would say, “You can’t do that to girls. They are just stuck together.”I have never again experienced the feeling that the world was my oyster and I had no cares. I learned I could accomplish what I wanted, primarily through my own efforts, by working hard. I tried to give my children and grandchildren the same knowledge and strength, and they had Dad’s farm, but not the experiences I had.Since retirement, I have had time to dust off those The Literary Corner Renegade Writer’s Guild Georgia will not win the NCAA Division I college foot-ball championship this year.Sure, the Bulldogs are the odds-on favorites.

Financing OptiOns available Ask about Monument Cleaning & Cemetery Repair Services By Betty Etchison WestFor the Enterprise The last wedding which took place in the White House in the 19th Century other that of President Gro-ver Cleveland and Frances Folsom, was the wedding of President Rutherford Birchard Hayes’ niece, Em-ily Platt, who married Gen-eral Russell Hastings. Emily’s mother, Fanny, was the sister of Ruther-ford B. Hayes. Fanny died leaving a little 6-year-old daughter, Emily. Emily lived with her uncle’s fami-ly, the Rutherford B. Hayes family, a great deal of the time after her mother’s death, even after Mr. Hayes was elected President. It turned out that Emily had much executive ability so she ended up handling all the details of the First Lady’s calendar while liv-ing in the White House.General Russell Hast-ings was a member of the Ohio Volunteer Infantry. He first met Emily, not in the White House but in Columbus where she was rolling bandages for the wounded soldiers. Years later, Russell Hastings met Emily in the White House where he went to renew his friend-ship with his former bri-gade commander, President Hayes. Hayes was not the only president who had served in the Ohio Volun- teer Infantry; the other was President William McKin-ley.It was in the White House that Emily caught the former soldier’s eye. He had been a widower for three years when he saw a lovely young lady during the White House visit. That young lady was Emily Platt. Emily is described in the book, “White House Brides” by Marie Smith and Louise Durbin, in the following manner: “She had a beautiful complex-ion, dark brown hair, a gentle manner and a gift for conversation. She was also quick, well-educated, and had traveled in foreign countries as well as her own country.”Hastings was quite tak-en with Emily, and the friendship turned into true love. The General pro-posed. Emily said “yes.” The engaged couple decid-ed that they wanted a quiet wedding, but the President Hayes and the First Lady, Lucy Hayes, wanted them to have a beautiful White House wedding that they would remember. That is what happened. There was a small num-ber of guests, but the White House was beautifully dec-orated for the wedding that took place in the White House Blue Room on June 19, 1878. At seven o’clock in the evening of June 19, the Marine band struck up the Mendelssohn’s wedding march. The President en-tered the room first with the bride’s sister, the First Lady entered on the arm of the groom, and the bride entered on the arm of her father. There were no atten-dants. Again, quoting from the book: “The bride’s gown was of ivory brocade and was fashioned along prin-cess lines with a long train bordered with deep pleat-ing of plain silk, caught at the top with a wreath of orange blossoms. Wreaths of orange blossoms also trimmed each side of the gown and down the front were bows of white double- faced ribbon. The square neckline was filled with tulle, caught with a spray of orange blossoms and single blossoms held puffs of il-lusion bordering the neck. Ruffles of plain silk edged the sleeve, which reached half way to the wrist.”Bishop Thomas A. Jag-ger of the Southern Diocese of Ohio officiated using the Episcopal ceremony. After the ceremony, an elaborate dinner was served in the family dining room. Toasts were give us-ing tea, coffee, or lemonade because no alcohol was served in the White House during the Hayes admin-istration. Remember: The President Hayes’ wife got the nickname, “Lemonade Lucy,” because she refused to serve any alcohol while she was First Lady, and she sure did not change her pol-icy for a wedding.Finally, the President’s carriage took the newly-weds to the train station just in time to catch the train to New York. After the honey-moon, the Hastings came back to Washington to live, but General Hastings, who had been badly wounded during the Civil War, could not tolerate the cold Wash-ington weather. One morn-ing while having breakfast, Emily and Russell decided to pull up stakes and go to Bermuda for the winter. When in a warm climate place, General Hastings’ old wounds caused him less distress. In 1883, Emily and Russell decided to make Bermuda their permanent home. They built a home called “Soney” on Point Share, Saltine Bay. The Hastings had three chil-dren: Lucy Webb, who was named for the First Lady, Lucy Hayes; Fanny, who was named for Emily’s mother; and Russell Platt Hastings, who was named for his father. General Hastings died in 1904, 26 years after he and Emily were married at the White House. Emily lived eighteen more years and died in 1922.•One of the most brilliant weddings that has ever taken place at the White House is the first one that took place in the 20th Cen-tury—the wedding of Alice Roosevelt and Rep. Nicho-las Longworth.Alice Roosevelt was the daughter of President The-odore Roosevelt and his first wife, Alice. When Theodore Roos-evelt met Alice Hathaway Lee, he described her as, “So marvelously sweet, pure, lovable, and pretty that I seem to love her more every time I see her.” Im-mediately after Theodore graduated from Harvard, he and Alice were married. In 1884, Theodore was serving in the New York Assembly in Albany, and his wife, who was expect-ing a baby, was staying at the Roosevelt home in New York. On Feb. 12, 1884, Roosevelt received a message that his wife had the baby and was very ill. Theodore left Albany for New York. Alice, the love of Theodore’s life, died on Alice Roosevelt grew up in this home - Sagamore Hill - on Long Island.

DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Aug. 31, 2023 - 5 By Lt. Col Stephen LeightonSugar Valley CAP While many of us know about the Civil Air Patrol (CAP) cadet program, one of the best leadership devel-opment programs available to teenagers, relatively few are aware of the vital role that the senior members (age 18 and older) play in CAP. In addition to providing the cadets with the supervi-sion and instruction needed, senior members are the force behind the work that CAP does in many areas.Today, let’s just look at one of CAP’s Missions for America: emergency ser-vices.One of the “best kept se-crets” in the country, CAP Emergency Services is the primary agency for the US Air Force (responding in up to 90% of the mainland search and rescue missions for the Air Force), as well as for the NC Office of Emer-gency Management (OEM) and the Federal Emergen-cy Management Agency (FEMA). While cadets get a great opportunity to learn the skills of ground team search and rescue, as well as to participate in disaster relief activities, it is the senior members who are impor-tant in teaching these skills, and who fly the hundreds of hours in fixed wing aircraft and lead the teams that re-spond to the multitude of emergency service situa-tions that arise each year. This volunteer service began with the founding of CAP in 1941, when mem-bers of CAP provided, by flying coastal patrols, a vital service helping to end the terror of German U-boats attacking vessels off of the East Coast, and the missions continue on today.CAP senior members have become a key resource for FEMA through the ser-vice of airborne photog-raphers providing visual information for FEMA to use in responding to major disasters. Hundreds of thou-sands of photographs have been provided to FEMA in the aftermath of major hur-ricanes, tornadoes and other National Senior Center Month / September, 2023 The entire community is invited to the Ms. Senior Davie County Pageant September 28 at 6:30pm Senior Services Main Campus 278 Meroney Street, Mocksville Other offerings throughout the month for those 55 and older include:  Bunco  Blood Pressure Screenings  Tech Tuesday  Beginner’s Genealogy  Veterans Social  Chat With the Senior Tarheel Delegate  Senior Writing Group  Foot Care  Crafternoon  Importance of Flu Shots and Other Immunizations  Parkinson’s Support Group  Coffee & Caregiving  Armchair Adventures  Got Plans?

Senior Civil Air Patrol members and cadets at a Point of Distribution training at Sugar Valley Air- port. - Photos by Lt. Deborah Leighton natural disasters. Because CAP senior members are volunteer, the cost to the country is a frac-tion of what would be in-curred through military and commercial services.The NC Office of Emer-gency Management relies on CAP volunteers to set up and help provide disaster re-lief through PODs, Points of Distribution for water, food, shelter materials and other supplies needed by those impacted by the disaster. CAP senior members help in many areas to track down missing persons, includ-ing disoriented elders who have wandered away from their residence, and finding lost hikers. With the devel-oping use of sUAS (small unmanned aerial vehicles or drones), using cameras, infrared, and FLIR (forward looking infrared), the sUAS teams of senior members and cadets can dramatically expand the capabilities of search teams.If you find yourself look-ing for ways to make a dif-ference, consider attending the Civil Air Patrol at the Sugar Valley Composite Squadron Open House on Tuesday evening, Sept. 12, at 6:30 p.m. The squadron meets every Tuesday at 6:30 in the Blue Hangar at Sugar Valley, 249 Gilbert Road, Mocksville. Visitors are al-ways welcome. For more information, contact Captain Sandra Smith, squadron command-er, at 336-409-6796.

The young grands remind me of times from my childhood and I love replaying them. ATBy Marie CraigIn case you don’t know what AT stands for, it’s Appa-lachian Trail. This is a hiking trail that starts at Springer Mountain, Georgia, and ends at Mount Katahdin in Maine. The trail goes along the ridge tops of the Appalachian Mountains. Recently, I have hiked very short parts of it, and years ago, backpacked on a section in Western North Carolina. But on Aug. 17, 2023, I finished the 2024 miles virtually. My smart phone counts how many steps I take in a day and converts that to miles. The app I used was WalkTheDistance and it simulates actually hiking the trail. There are maps and photos to make you believe you are really there. I began this BC, Before Covid, so it’s been a long adventure. These 3.8 years have been filled with many challenges and adventures, but I have stayed determined to walk at least three thousand steps a day which is about 1.2 miles for me. During this time, I have gained two granddaugh-ters-in-law and two great grandchildren. There have been changes in weather, politics, and current events during this Continued From Page 3on Feb. 14, 1884, and The-odore’s mother, who he also adored, died the same day. The death of his beloved wife and his mother, who he loved so deeply, was more than Theodore could han-dle. He left his baby, who was named Alice for her mother, with his sister and fled to North Dakata. He bought a ranch and spent the next two years as a working cowboy, sometimes staying in the saddle 12 hours a day.After spending two years working though his grief, Theodore decided to go back east. After he got home, he became reacquainted with a person that he had really known all of his life, but, after renewing his acquain-tance with Edith, something was different. The lady, Edith Carow, and Theodore fell in love. Soon, Edith be-came Mrs. Theodore Roo-sevelt and the Roosevelts moved to a house that The-odore had had built while in was in North Dakota. They named the house Sagamore Hill. It was/is a big house at Oyster Bay on Long Island. That is where Theodore’s daughter, Alice, grew up with her father, step-mother, four brothers, and one sister. It seems that Alice was al-ways the eccentric one, and one who would find a way to cause trouble. (The Sag-amore Hill House at Oyster Bay is still open to visitors.)After Roosevelt was elected President and the family moved to Washing-ton, Alice defied many of society’s rules, which was probably just to attract at-tention. For example, she smoked in public, which was un-heard of at that time and that was just one of “Alice’s sins.” Her father finally said: “I can handle Alice or I can handle the duties of the President of the United States but I can’t do both.”Alice met Congressman Nichlos Longworth, who was quite taken with mis-chievous Alice. So taken in fact, that a fabulous wed-ding took place on Feb. 17, 1906. That took place in the White House East Room which is 80 feet long, 37 feet wide with ceiling 22 feet high. The following is a description of the deco-rations in the East Room from the book, “The White House” by Smith and Durbin: “The four windows on the east side of the room were draped with a large lambrequin of old gold plush with curtains on either side. Large ropes of smilax and bunches of Easter lilies hung from every possible loop and border. Forming a background between the platform and the windows were masses of palms and smilax with a great bunch of Easter lilies in the middle. On either side stood a large Satsuma vase filled with Easter lilies and beyond each of them a vase of Eas-ter lilies set up a pedestal.” The East Room in the White House is larger than many houses.Six hundred and 80 peo-ple arrived at the White House for the wedding, and they were seated in the East Room. Guests includ-ed members of the cabinet and their wives; the Diplo-matic Corp; many family members, which included Franklin Delano Roosevelt and his wife, Eleanor, who was the niece of Theodore Roosevelt; a multitude of friends of the bride and groom, which included the groom’s friends from his college days as well as col-leagues from the House of Representatives; and the list goes on. As the Marine Band played the First Lady and her three sons entered. They were followed by the wedding party. First, the Episcopal Bishop of Wash-ington entered the room and then bridegroom, Nicholas Longworth with his best man, Thomas Nelson Per-kins, and then exactly at noon, Alice entered on the arm of her father, President Theodore Roosevelt. The bride’s dress was a magnificent creation of cream satin princess in style with an 18-foot-long train of silver brocade. The yoke and elbow sleeves were of lace that had been past of her mother’s wedding dress. The tulle veil worn off the face over her dark pompa-dour style hair was caught with a coronet of orange blossoms. Clusters of the same flowers were nestled in the lace on her shoul-ders. That was Smith and Durbin, the authors of The White House, description the bride’s dress.The guests were invited to a breakfast after the wed-ding. About three o’clock after the breakfast and accompa-nying celebration, during which there were many champagne toasts, the bride and groom were escorted to an automobile for the trip to their honeymoon destina-tion. It is said that Alice’s stepmother, Edith, let Al-ice know how happy she was that she would no lon-ger be living with them because she had caused so many problems. The fact that champagne flowed was certainly different from the wedding during the Hayes administration.After her marriage, Al-ice got interested in Long-worth’s work in the House of Representatives where he became Speaker. She spent many hours in the gallery observing the work of the House. Alice did not give up her love of partying and of drawing attention to herself by making outlandish state-ments, etc. Alice lived to the ripe old age of 96, and she remained active on the capital social circle. She was described as being “peppery and plain-spoken,” and it is said that she had a pillow in her home which said, “If you can’t say something good about someone, sit right here by me.” Nicholas Longworth died in 1931, and Alice lived 49 years more. She died in 1980. Alice Roosevelt Long-worth attracted attention as long as she lived. Alice Roosevelt (back, in hat) with her family, including father, President Theodore Roosevelt. Wedding ... time. Even during Covid quarantine and my minor case, I encouraged myself to walk at least three thousand steps a day. I’d like to think that this has benefitted my overall health and self-determination. A few times several minutes before midnight, I found myself walking frantically trying to get my steps in before it became the next day and the count started over. I felt like Cinderella. Research shows that the AT, completed in 1937, is the longest hiking-only footpath in the world. It crosses four-teen states and has more than three million visitors each year. Virginia has the most miles, 550 miles; and West Virginia has the least, 4 miles. The easiest states to hike are Maryland and West Virginia. The hardest states are New Hampshire and Maine. The trail passes through six National Parks and eight National Forests. These agencies and volunteers maintain the trail. Only 25 percent of those hoping to hike the entire trail in one attempt succeed. In 1955, Emma Gatewood, mother of 11 children and victim of domestic abuse, told her children that she was go-ing for a hike in the woods. She took a denim bag that held a blanket, a shower curtain, a few utensils, and just a few other things. She wore out seven pairs of Keds during her hike of the entire trail.

The mission is in its 43th year, with the Rev. Dr. James A. Harnish as this year's guest speaker. Harnish retired after 43 years of pastoral ministry in Florida. He is recognized as a preacher and writer. He is a facilitator for the Institute of Preaching and the author of more than 20 books and Bible studies. He was a consulting editor for “The New Interpreter’s Dictionary of the Bible” and a contributor to “The Wesley Study Bible.” The theme of the mes-sages for this year’s Sprin-kle Preaching Mission will be “Finding Your Bear-ings,” from Harnish’s book of the same name. “We will hear about times Jesus found His bear-ings by recalling words and stories from the Old Testa-ment,” said church mem-ber, Angie Jordan. “By con-necting Jesus’ story with your own, you can find your bearings as you walk the way Jesus walked in the way that Jesus walked it, the way that leads to life.”Services start Sunday, Sept. 10 with two morning services, 8:45 and 10:55. The evening services con-tinue from Sunday-Tues-day beginning with a hymn sing at 6:45 and the service starting at 7. There will be special music at each service led by Lou Wil-son, with organist Tommy Dunn, and other musical guests each evening. Pre-School childcare will be provided for each service. All are welcome. There will be a hands-on mission project each night for those who want to come at 6:15 and help pack “mission bags” with hy-giene kits for those in need. And all donations received during the mission will go to UMCOR (U.S. disaster relief), Davie High Hun-ger Fighters, and Backpack Buddies ministry. Dr. Henry Call Sprinkle was a Methodist minister from Mocksville. He was a graduate of Duke and Yale universities. He married Margaret Louise Jordan in 1930. The Sprinkle family spent the majority of their lives traveling the world for missionary work, living in Europe, South and Central America, the Caribbean, Africa, Asia, and Australia before retiring back home in Mocksville. “Dr. Sprinkle and his family set up an endow-ment to carry on the tra-dition of bringing unique and inspiring speakers to Mocksville each year for the church and community to enjoy, and we are proud to carry on the tradition of the Sprinkle Preaching Mission once again this year,” she said.

Death NoticesMr. Kenneth Ray Henderson, 74, of Mocksville, died Tuesday, Aug. 22, 2023.•Mrs. Palma Sue James Howard, 79, of Mocks-ville, died Wednesday, Aug. 23, 2023. 12 - DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Aug. 31, 2023 Bless Your Spoon By Stephanie Williams Dean Many folks would vote for breakfast as their favorite meal.A brunch buffet on Sunday, or any other day, ranks up there, as well. My favorite wake-up call is an early morn-ing, continental-style meal – one that typically consists of coffee, fruits, and an assortment of savory biscuits and sweet pastries. Coming from the word continent – the word refers to the kind of breakfast you’d receive in places like England, Wales, Scotland, and Ireland. Compared to an American-style breakfast that includes heavier foods such as eggs, meats, and potatoes, a continental breakfast is much light-er fare. However, the continental often touts a hefty bread bar with a wid-er choice of options – thick Bel-gian waffles, fluffy pancakes, ten-der popovers, crispy turnovers, sugary coffee cakes, fruit-filled pastries, and sweet scones. In this case – truly, I could live on bread alone. Well, maybe if washed down with a few cups of coffee. But now we can enjoy making these delicious homemade bis-cuits and sweet breads at home. Baking is no longer the back-breaking chore it once was.And the creative, rewarding experi-ence of family togetherness far outweighs any thoughts of being too much trouble. Your home will be filled with wonderful aromas. Throw in your favorite Southern egg casserole – and you’ve just created another win-win family meal. But I get it – going out to hit a breakfast buf-fet is one invitation we’ll never turn down. And let’s face it, in general, the bonus of delicious food has a lot to do with our choices. The truth is – very little goes down in the South without some yummy food to go along with it.Recently I attended a two-day seminar at the Billy Gra-ham Conference Center at The Cove in Asheville. It didn’t hurt one bit knowing I was going to sleep peacefully and wake up to the bonus of a delectable breakfast buffet with a spread of breads. As always, the food was an added benefit and didn’t disappoint. I’ve never been served a meal less than enjoyable when there. After our meal, we received the full compensation for the price we’d paid to attend. Renowned Christian pastor and author, Tony Evans, took to the podium to talk about our rewards in heaven. Tony’s lecture focused on our eternal rewards – and the discipleship that demonstrates our appreciation for salva-tion. Salvation is free and unearned by grace – but rewards are earned through discipleship. We will be called to re-spond to the grace of God with an accounting of our ser-vice to Him. The greater we appreciate the gift of God – the more motivated we are to serve the Lord. So let’s make sure we’ve built a life with things God can use. Colossians 3: 23-24 reads, “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward.” Are we all in? Have we given His kingdom our best? Let us not leave any rewards behind – so that we will be fully compensated in eternity. When it’s time to edit our work – there’ll be no rewards left on the table.We all have what’s referred to as “remembrance stones” in our Christian walk. These are special moments where we’re moved by the Holy Spirit and changed, in response to a sermon, music, or other event. Tony Evan’s seminar was one of those moments – so profound that it was life-changing. These mornings weren’t just new days – they prompted new ways.

Continental favorites a lighter breakfast DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Aug. 31, 2023 - B5Sports The Davie cross country team made its season debut Aug. 26 at the Providence Invitational at Charlotte’s McAlpine Park. A total of 53 teams from four states com-peted in brutally hot conditions. A total of 24 Davie athletes competed, with seven racing their first cross country 5k.More than 1,000 runners were divided into six races. There were two varsity races each for the boys and girls as well as large JV races. Competing in the Invitational Division, the Davie varsity boys were the first of the War Eagle contingent to take the course. A veteran trio of Davie runners quickly established themselves in the lead pack as they came through the first mile in a relatively quick time of 5:07. Halfway through the 3.1-mile course, the runners were greeted with the one significant hill on the course. By the time the field crested the hill, three runners had established themselves in the lead. Davie sophomore Ethan Lakey, junior teammate Thomas Essic and Wakefield’s Callin Farr turned the race into a three-way battle over the next mile.Lakey pulled away over the last 800 meters and cruised to victory with a time of 16:45. Essic took third in 16:59. Tyler Hill settled for 25th place in 18:28, while sophomore Brayden Kistner fin-ished 47th (19:16). Senior Will Allard rounded out the scoring in 88th place (20:29) in a field of 174 finishers.A pair of South Carolina schools claimed the top two team finishes as Waccamaw (74) edged James Island (75) by a point. Lake Norman Charter (109), Hickory Ridge (139) and Davie rounded out the top five in a race that had 24 teams register team scores.Coach Rob Raisbeck was pleased with the effort of his short-handed boys’ squad. “We had two of our guys out of the lineup today,” said Raisbeck. “And Will was not feeling well before the race. He gutted it out and did the best he could under some really tough conditions. The heat was just oppressive out there. That just makes the performances of Ethan and Thomas all the more impressive. They have both had really strong summers from a training standpoint, and we are excited to see how fast they can run in October.“Tyler has also had a good summer, but he is not a heat runner. I expect him to run under 17:00 when the temperatures drop later in the season. Brayden is some-body who has also really come on and is training well. Hopefully we will have our full lineup in place, if not for our Sept. 8 race, at least for the Sept. 23 meet when we return to McAlpine.” •••The Davie girls were next as they also competed in the Invi-tational Division, which featured 137 finishers. Senior Gracie Spicer placed 25th with a time of 23:16 to edge sophomore teammate Lexi Mar-ion, who finished 30th in 23:38. Please See Runners - Page B3 Davie sophomore wins cross country invitational By Brian PittsEnterprise Record Last summer Coy James proved he was big-time by making the national 15-U team and leading Team USA to the gold medal. In the 2022 Baseball World Cup in Mexico, the stars and stripes went 8-1 and James earned tournament MVP by hitting .480, scoring 15 runs, smacking two homers and driving in eight runs. Last week James reminded us just how awesome he is. The Davie High junior from Advance made the 18-U national team as a 16 year old (he will turn 17 in February). “It’s very rare that an under-classman makes this 18-and-under national team,” said Brian Hucks, who coached James and the 16-U Canes this spring and summer. “This is comprised of mostly seniors. The fact that they think enough of Coy to keep him on the 18-U team as a 17 year old is an amazing accomplishment. He made the team over guys who I think are elite-level players, too. To make that team is a special honor. There are some guys that I coached through the Canes orga-nization that are top 50 players in the country that didn’t make that team as seniors.”James was among 72 kids who went through a tryout in Cary. Four advanced from there and 44 guys traveled to San Juan Capistrano, Calif., for the 18-U National Team Training Camp. The 20-man ros-ter was finalized Aug. 25, which included just two 16 year olds. On Aug. 27 the 18-U team flew to Taipei, Taiwan. Team USA will compete in the 31st U-18 Baseball World Cup from Sept. 1-10. The team is being managed by Michael Cuddyer, who spent 15 years in the big leagues. The pitching coach is LaTroy Hawkins, who was a big leaguer for 21 years. Hucks was a catcher for the South Carolina Gamecocks in the 1990s. He was drafted and spent a year in the Cincinnati Reds organi-zation. Now he coaches the Canes and Lexington High (S.C.). “I’ve been following Coy’s progress since he was 14 in our program,” Hucks said. “I was thrilled to death to be able to coach him this summer and I will again this fall. He’s an unbelievable young player and young man. Best of the best James competing for Team USA in Taiwan Please See James - Page B3 By Brian PittsDavie Enterprise Record Davie tennis coach Collin Ferebee beamed with pride as the War Eagles opened the season with back-to-back wins over Central Piedmont Conference rivals. The season-opening win over Reynolds tied the school record for consecutive wins in the regular season. The win over East Forsyth broke the record and extended the incredible regular-season winning streak to 30. “I had it in the back of my min-nd the whole time (at Reynolds),” Ferebee said. “I think the girls had forgotten about it, but the whole time I was like: ‘Please, just let us at least tie it.’”The War Eagles scratched and clawed for a 5-4 victory in Winsto-Salem on Aug. 21. Wins from Elliot Newsome (6-3, 6-0 at No. 1), Corbin Drum (7-6, 7-6 at two), Bailey Aderhold (6-0, 7-5 at three), Casey Cao (6-4, 6-0 at six) and Newsome/Aderhold (8-3 at No. 1 doubles) enabled Davie to match the 29 streak from 2015-17. John Bullins and Ferebee were the coaches during that run. How about Drum? The fresh-man survived two tiebreakers in her high school debut. “Corbin kept us on the edge of our seat,” Ferebee said. “In the second set, she was down 5-2. She really buckled down and got a huge win. Without that, we would have been in some hot water. She’s doing that in her first conference match, so I’m quite excited to have her on the team. She plays lots of tournaments and trains and stuff like that, like Elliot. She’s played in big matches and won tourna-ments. It was just another day for her, just a new setting. That may have given her extra nerves that she’s not had before.”With senior Ali Cranfill out sick, a sophomore (Cao) filled in at No. 6 and rose to the moment. “Casey went from seven to six against Reynolds. It was trial by fire for her,” Ferebee said. Although Reynolds took two doubles matches, Newsome and Aderhold nailed it down by a wide margin. “Reynolds has a strong dou-bles lineup, which is what I was worried about,” he said. “We took a gamble with double freshmen 30 in a row Tennis on top of CPC foes Please See Record - Page B3 By Brian PittsEnterprise Record Let’s ponder what happened Friday night at West Rowan.It was among the darnedest things any Davie quarterback ever made happen. Ty Miller threw Miller throws 7 touchdownsDavie wakes up to pound West Rowan seven touchdown passes, two more than the previous school record and just two shy of the state record, as the War Eagles lit up the Falcons 60-28. But Miller didn’t quite dazzle for most of the first half. The senior misfired on his first five throws. In a span of five plays in the second quarter, he was intercepted twice and sacked twice. And when the Falcons took advantage of a short field and scored with 4:46 remain-ing in the first half, Davie faced a 14-13 deficit. Then in the blink of an eye, Da- vie (1-1) transformed into a loco-motive barreling down the tracks, and West (0-2) turned into dust. From the 14-13 score until game’s end, the War Eagles scored at will.

Davie had only four finishers and as a result did not register a team score.“We are battling some injuries on our girls’ squad right now,” said Raisbeck. “I’m not sure at this point when we will be at full speed. We expect to have a couple of more girls come out this week, so hopefully that will add to our depth.”•••A massive boys’ JV race was next up and featured 10 Davie runners in a field of 296 finishers. Sophomore Jackson Sulecki was the top Davie finisher as he claimed 22nd place in a time of 20:14. The remaining War Eagle scorers were freshman Jacob Steelman (28th in 20:21), junior Chris Devicente (40th in 20:49), sophomore Jack-son Shook (59th in 21:26) and freshman Tyler Deaver (153rd in 23:29). Other Davie finishers included ju-nior Jake Hannah (177th in 24:22), freshman Ty Greene (196th in 24:57), freshman Jack Bost (198th in 25:00), sophomore Caswell Moore (255th in 27:20) and fresh-man Patrick Brady (267th in 28:26).Green Hope took home the title in the JV race with 30 points to outdistance Marvin Ridge (88) and Wed-dington (128). Davie placed ninth out of 24 team scores.Davie also had three girls making their cross country debut in the JV race. Fresh- Runners ... man Abby Lane led the way, followed by teammates Al-exa Villa and Hayden Smith. “By the time we got to the JV races the heat was getting really bad,” said Raisbeck. “I almost pulled the girls out of the race, but to their credit they all want-ed to run. That just enhanced my respect for each of them.“All in all, it was a good start to the season. Win-ning a race of this caliber is really hard to do and doesn’t happen very often, so watching Ethan break the tape with Thomas right behind him was a lot of fun. Coach (Leah) Reynolds, Coach (Jeff) Jones and I are excited about the season to come. We have some really dedicated student-athletes in our program who want to get better and are doing what they need to do to make that happen.” Next up for the War Ea-gle harriers is the Friday Night Lights meet Sept. 8 at Kernersville’s Ivey Redmond Sports Complex. Right at 100 schools will be competing on the course, which will be the site of the state championships in November. The four varsity races will begin after 8 p.m. under the lights. “FNL is truly a specta-cle,” Raisbeck said. “You have to experience it to fully appreciate what an awesome sport we have.” Races begin as early as 5 p.m. and Davie will have runners spread across a number of races, including varsity races at 8:25 and 8:50 that evening.

Coy is one of the best young hitters I’ve been able to coach, and I Continued From Page B1 at two, and honestly (Drum and Leah Gibson) played really, really well (in 9-8 de-feat). The lost in a tiebreak-er, so it’s not like they got wiped off the court. To play like that against Reynolds is something to be proud of.”Davie 7, EF 2The result at East Forsyth on Aug. 23 was exactly what Davie expected. East didn’t have enough players to field a team in 2021 and 2022, so it wasn’t about to keep Davie from making history. This was the first Davie-East meeting since June 1 of 2021, when East nipped Davie 5-4. “Look back at where we came from,” Ferebee said of the record-breaking win. “In the spring 2021 season, we were (5-7) and I said: ‘This losing has got to stop. I know you’re trying, but we’ve got to start winning again. I know we can do it; we’ve got to focus.’ Now we’ve won 26 straight conference match-es. I said: ‘You should be really proud of all the work you’ve put in to turn this program from (6-9 in 2019 and 5-7 in 2021) to 26-0 (in the CPC).’”Newsome (6-0, 6-0), Drum (6-0, 6-0), Aderhold (6-0, 6-0), Gibson (6-0, 6-0), Gabby Thompson (6-0, 6-1) and Cao (6-0, 6-0) swept singles with authority. Ella O’Toole and Brooklyn Lakey tacked on an 8-5 win at No. 3 doubles. “I was just happy East Forsyth has a team again,” he said. “They played really well for not having a team for two years. I was proud of my girls because sometimes those ‘easy’ ones are the ones that get you. We came out locked and loaded and focused. We only dropped one game in singles, and that shows we were ready to play.”Davie 5, Forbush 0The War Eagles just keep on keeping on. In a noncon-ference match at Forbush on Aug. 24, they pounded out a 5-0 win in a match that was shortened by thunderstorms. Newsome (8-0), Drum (8-4), Aderhold (8-3), Gib-son (8-6) and Cranfill (8-1) got the wins. One singles and all the doubles were washed out. “They only had five available courts,” Ferebee said. “Gabby was winning and would have made it 6-0 because she was up 6-3 at the time (the match was stopped).”Notes: Davie has beaten Reynolds five straight times. ... Davie’s CPC winning streak (26) is a school record that keeps growing. The old record was 20 from 2015-17. ... Drum and Cao were the players of the match against Reynolds. Gibson and O’Toole took the honors against East. And Cranfill was the POM against For-bush “because she’s been sick and it was her first match back,” Ferebee said. “She was the first one off the court with an 8-1 win. What a way to come back.” think he’s got an incredible future ahead of him.”After hitting .451 as a Davie sophomore, James swung a smoking hot bat this spring/summer for the Canes, who steamrolled their way to a 25-2 record and finished with a No. 3 national ranking. Batting third in the order, James went 35 for 73 for a .479 average. His on-base percentage was .519. He knocked in 32 runs, only struck out nine times and swiped 19 bases in 20 at-tempts. His OPS (on-base percentage plus slugging percentage) was a ridiculous 1.217. “He led our team in just about every offensive cat-egory,” Hucks said. “My nickname for Coy is Mr. Barrel because he has a knack for knowing where the barrel is at all times and always seems to make hard contact. He always seemed to get the big hit whenever we needed it.”And then: “One thing that makes Coy so good is he’s aggressive. He only walked three times, so he’s up there to swing. He’ll get himself out at times because he’s so aggressive. As he grows and matures and gets more plate discipline, I think he’s really, really going to take off.”Just like he’s done for two years at Davie, James was the shortstop for the Canes. “He played shortstop 90 percent of the time,” Hucks said. “We had some other really good infielders that are elite shortstops in their own right, but Coy was our primary shortstop all summer. He’s got elite-level range and arm strength.”Hucks wasn’t done prais-ing James. It’s hard not to like a guy who just goes out there and never says much and plays his heart out and crushes 90-mph-plus pitches. “Coy is a quiet and hum-ble kid,” Hucks said. “With the recognition and all the honors he’s received, he’s got every reason in the world to be an arrogant player. But he’s the complete opposite. He just shows up every day ready to play. His parents (Matt and Heather) keep him grounded for sure.” James ...

They scored three TDs in 2:34, four TDs in 4:31 and five TDs in 7:23. They scored TDs on seven straight possessions. “I don’t know why I came out so slow,” Miller said. “I was just missing passes. They were open. I talked to my receivers and we got right.”“Ty was upset with him-self,” coach Tim Devericks said. “He knew he was rushing things. Sometimes you think there’s pressure, but there’s not. Once he relaxed and realized there was not pressure, he was fine. There’s no harder critic on Ty than himself. (The 20 points in the final 3:27 of the first half) is being able to stay composed, not get up-set about an incompletion or maybe somebody running the wrong route. He’s able to move to the next play and execute.”Davie opened the scoring by taking advantage of a botched snap. The high snap sent the West punter scram-bling and he was stoned 21 yards back at the West 20. Two plays later, Miller, who was 0 for 5 at the time, went down the seam to Braddock Coleman, who reached up and made a beautiful catch for a 19-yard TD. West workhorse running back Jaylen Neely carried the ball eight times on an 10-play drive as the Falcons tied the score at 6-6. (Elijah Chaffin blocked the extra point.)Coleman had a qui-et opener in the loss to Mooresville, but he was dazzling in week two. He hauled in a deep throw for 49 yards to set up Mill-er’s eight-yard TD to Leon Bradshaw. Davie had a 13-6 lead, but West picked off two passes and grabbed the 14-13 lead on a drive that began at the Davie 19. Everything changed on a third-and-10 play from the Davie 36. Miller threw a home-run ball to Ethan Driver. A West defender committed pass interference in the end zone, but Driver caught it anyway for a 64-yard score and a 20-14 lead. The penalty allowed Da-vie to kick off from the 50, the ideal spot to try an on-side kick. Coleman kicked it and recovered it for the second week in a row, and Davie was in business at the West 30. Two plays later, Coleman had an electrify-ing catch-and-run, slipping a tackle at the 25, shaking off a defender at the 5 and scoring a 38-yard TD. West went three-and-out.

This time Miller rocketed the ball downfield to Evan York, who made a 33-yard scoring catch to give Davie a 33-14 halftime lead. Less than four minutes after taking the 14-13 lead, West had been reduced to the board in Mill-er’s games of darts. He tied the record for single-game TD passes (five) in the first half alone. “The way the first half ended was hard to over-come,” West coach Louis Kraft told the Salisbury Post. “That and Davie’s onside kicks. Brutal.”At intermission, Miller had 294 passing yards and was on pace to shatter Alex Summers’ 448 record. Mill-er did not reach that record, but he ensured his place in Davie lore by breaking the record for TD passes. On third-and-goal from the 1, a pass ricocheted off York’s hands and right into Bradshaw’s. That was TD pass No. 6 with 10:03 left in the third quarter. “I was not ready to see three interceptions, so it was comforting to see that land in Leon’s arms,” Miller said. Miller’s seventh TD was a 24-yarder to Driver with 7:11 left in the third that made it 47-14. Miller finished 19 of 40 for 325 yards. In state history, a QB has thrown more than seven TDs only seven times. “I know all the quarter-backs that came before me, so it’s pretty cool,” Miller said. “I talk to Chris (Reyn-olds) sometimes and ask for advice. I’m boys with Nate (Hampton), so it’s pretty cool to be up there with them.”After recording just eight receiving yards in the open-er, Coleman went off for 143 yards on seven grabs. “Braddock’s really shifty,” Miller said. “He runs his routes right, he runs them hard and he can make some crazy catches. He does it in practice all the time.”“Braddock is the ultimate competitor,” Devericks said. Driver, a sophomore, was outstanding for the second straight week with four catches for 109 yards. That gives him 234 yards in two games. But Miller has several shiny pass-catching weapons, including York (3-55), Bradshaw (3-16, two TDs) and Grey Deal. “They played man de-fense and we liked every matchup,” Miller said. “All the receivers stepped up. Even if they had a drop or ran a route wrong, they bounced back the next play.”Davie had more hay-makers to throw late in the third and early in the fourth. Markel Summers snapped a 24-yard TD run, and Mill-er’s cherry on top was an 11-yard scoring run. Davie had nine TDs on the night, and Miller was involved in eight of them. Oh, and Summers ran for 104 yards. It was the ninth time in two seasons he’s posted at least 92 rushing yards. Credit for all the of-fensive fireworks has to go to offensive linemen Evan Froelich, Evan Copeland, Ryder Strickland, Kevin Lazaro and Jalen Alexander. “They did a great job,” Miller said of his OL. “West blitzed almost every single play, and they did a great job picking it up.”“We were proud about running it against a sev-en-man box,” Devericks said. “There were no safeties in the middle of the field.”•••Davie’s highest scoring total in 21 games overshad-owed its improving defense. On West’s first play from scrimmage, outside line-backer Zander Richardson knocked the ball loose from a West receiver and Eli Bra-nham recovered the fumble. “We’ve been working that all summer, trying to put a bigger emphasis on turnovers,” defensive co-ordinator Blaine Nicholson said. “We missed a tackle and Zander comes in there and rips it out. That’s a huge way to start the game.” When West handed Da-vie a stinging 35-34 loss in 2022, Evan Kennedy broke the school record for receiv-ing yards in a game with 227. But Davie’s secondary put a wet blanket on Kenne-dy this time, limiting him to three catches for 37 yards. Gavin Reese had three pass breakups. Bradshaw, Connor Hood and Dylan Miller had one each. Bran-don Wood produced three QB hurries, while Chaffin and Cole Thomas had one apiece. The leading tacklers were Landon Barber (11), Hood (seven), Chaffin (six), Z. Richardson (five), Archer Richardson (five), Elliott Gould (four) and Matty Warner (four). “Since last year, I think we’re more together and trust each other more,” Hood said after Davie held West to 8-of-24 passing for 100 yards. “We all work every day to do what we did tonight.”“Gavin had a really, re-ally good game,” Nicholson said. “On the first PBU he had, he slipped or it would have been a pick-6. Connor did some good stuff as far as cutting off routes. He made some corrections from (the Mooresville game).”“You can see Gavin’s confidence growing,” De-vericks said. “Last year (as a freshman) he was just a phenomenal athlete. But he’s taken his athleticism and worked at it and almost become a master at his tech-nique.”Against Mooresville, Branham led the way with 11 tackles. Davie only had Branham for one quarter at West - he left with an injury - but the defense still had success as Gould stepped into the safety void. “Elliott cut a couple deep routes off,” Nicholson said. “Eli is obviously our leader on the back end. Elliott made one mistake on their third score, but other than that, he stepped in and did really well.”Davie kept West out of the end zone nine times out of 13 series. Chaffin and A. Richardson started at inside linebacker, with Ian Boger and Joe Wilds coming off the bench. Jerred Alexander and Z. Richardson were the starters at OLB, with Thomas and Miller rotat-ing in and freshman Jsiere Arnold seeing some time in the fourth. The DL starters were Warner, Barber and Trey’von Doulin. The rota-tion up front included Xavi-er Parker, Nathaniel Jordan, Wood and Grayson Cayton. “It’s hard to take Chaffin off the field, but when Joe got his opportunities, he made the most of it,” Nich-olson said. “So we’re going to try to work Joe in as much as we can.”While the defense is making strides, Nicholson is far from satisfied. “We gave up four touch-downs and we had some guys on the sideline kind of getting upset,” Nicholson said. “That speaks to where we’re at as a defense. Our expectations are much high-er than they’ve been in past years.”Notes: Davie has won three of four meetings with West. ... This was the most Davie points since a 73-28 win at Reynolds in 2021. ... Davie and West have played a ton of barnburners over the years, but this was the third-largest win for Davie in the historic rivalry. Da-vie won 63-6 in 1965 and 41-0 in 2016. ... West lost senior offensive lineman Tyler Cline to a fractured ankle in the first quarter. ... Miller has thrown at least one TD pass in all 13 of his varsity games in two years. His previous high for TD passes was three, which he’d accomplished three times. The 325 passing yards were a career high for Miller, who went for 324 last year against West Forsyth. ... The old record for TD passes in a game was five. Reynolds had five in a 45-42 win over North Davidson in 2016, and Summers had five on two occasions - a 51-34 win over Mooresville in 2021 and the 73-28 win over Reynolds in 2021. ... The TDs... Falcons compounded their problems by getting flagged 17 times for 135 yards. By contrast, Davie has com-mitted nine penalties in two games. ... Davie’s final non-conference game is at home Friday night at 7 against 0-2 North Davidson. The Black Knights have a five-game losing streak dating to 2022. ... Davie beat North 28-21 last year and has won three straight in the series. North leads the series 27-26. Losing weight is about more than just dieting.

The 2-A Cardinals took it in three sets (25-23, 25-14, 25-18). How strong have the Cardinals, who improved to 4-0 in 2023, been in recent years? Look at their records since going 18-11 in 2015: 24-5, 26-3, 25-5, 28-4, 9-2, 26-2, 24-4. That’s a 162-25 mark from 2016-22. One day later, the War Eagles (2-1) had no trouble bouncing back. They won in three sets at Starmount. The winless Rams (0-5) have dropped 15 of 16 sets this season. •••The JV War Eagles en-dured a narrow, three-set loss to Starmount. After Davie claimed the first set 25-23, the Rams prevailed by scores of 25-22 and 15-11 as Davie fell to 1-1.

Alex Tarbet assisted Davie’s first goal in three games. The lead stood through the first half before the Black Knights rallied for their second win in three games. Davie fell to 0-3. Bailey shines in Davie debutSophomore Kori Bailey shot a 12-over 47 in her Davie golf debut at Salem Glen on Aug. 17. West Forsyth defeated Davie 126-152. The same two teams competed at Oak Valley on Aug. 21. This time Davie’s top player was junior Callie Wisecarver (18-over 54). The Titans won by a score of 114-168. “West is going to be very good and will give Reagan a run if their girls play this well,” Davie coach Bob Donley said. “(This) was not a good day for us.”The Davie squad includes senior Sophia Garza; juniors Kate Sakai, Reese Ward and Kayden Cornatzer; and freshman Gwynyth Swan. Middle school softball results• Ellis’ softball team raced past visiting Southeast 17-2 in three innings on Aug. 21 as the Jaguars blended seven hits with 14 walks. The top hitters were Meredith Jones (2 for 2, two runs, two walks), Karah Shore (2-2, two RBIs, three runs) and Annabelle Wright (2-3, two runs, three RBIs). Adalae Massey went 1 for 1 with two RBIs as Ellis moved to 1-1. Kyndall Upright and Victoria Patton drew three walks each. • South Davie’s softball team blasted visiting North Rowan 29-2 in two and a half innings on Aug. 21. Three days later, the Tigers lost 13-11 at Corriher-Lipe in a rain-shortened game. In the top of the fourth, the Tigers chopped a 13-1 deficit to 13-11 with an amazing 10-run outburst. But then rain forced the action to stop, and since South batted in the top of the fourth, the game was official as South slipped to 2-2. • North Davie’s opening game was a 4-1 home loss to Erwin on Aug. 21. The Wildcats scratched in the third to tie it up. Kinley Pasquet singled to start the rally, and she would go 2 for 3 to lead the way. Grayce Clark pitched well in defeat, allowing one earned run, walking two and striking out seven. North, South football enjoy lopsided wins Aug. 22. Morales threw for 200-plus yards, connecting with Edarius Oliver, Reynolds Tomlinson, Jason Riddle and Carter Cornett, as North, which buried China Grove 27-0 in the opener, started 2-0 for just the second time in 13 seasons (the other was the spring of 2021). After only managing a 8-0 lead at halftime - “They held onto the ball for a long time,” coach Beau Byerly said - the Wildcats pounded away in the second half. “We amped it up a little bit in the second half - very shockingly actually,” Byerly said. “I don’t think we had a single penalty; they had at least 10. We performed well. I think our boys surprised themselves.”Morales’ season-opening performance carried over to this one. “He probably threw for over 200 yards,” Byerly said. “He completed 15-20 (passes).”Oliver scored two touch-downs (30-yard run, 10-yard reception). Isaiah Hernan-dez had a 35-yard scoring run. And Braxton Bailey, the starting nose guard/backup running back, scored from 4 yards out. “One practice Braxton was like: ‘Coach, I know how to run the ball,’” Byerly said. “Against China Grove, I said: ‘I need a running back.’ He said: ‘Coach, I’ve got it.’ He runs it hard.”Don’t forget about de- fenders like Riddle (out-side linebacker) and Nathan Smith (d-lineman), who helped North post its first shutout since the spring of 2021, when the Wildcats punished South Davie 54-0. “Jason had a heck of a game,” Byerly said. “He’s everywhere; he flies around. Nathan had a great game. He had one sack and probably three or four big tackles. I’m real proud of him.”The Patriots were inter-cepted three times. Hernan-dez, Cornett and Sawyer Hall had the picks. The first two weeks have been absolutely wonderful for the Wildcats, but they will get tested this week against West Rowan. “(This) week we’re fac-ing a giant,” Byerly said. SD 30, CL 6South Davie (2-0) ex-tended its winning streak to five dating to 2022 by wiping out Corriher-Lipe 30-6 on the road on Aug. 22, but coach Germain Mayfield wasn’t overly excited. He knows the Tigers will see a different animal (Selma Burke) this week. “We didn’t play bad, but they struggled,” he said. “Erwin was a little bit better. You really couldn’t tell what we did or didn’t do.“The test is (this) week. (Selma Burke is) supposed to be the cream of the crop.”The Yellow Jackets were utterly helpless when run-ning back Tyrone Speller (130 rushing yards on eight carries) and quarterback Draeton Nance (110 rushing yards on six carries) had the ball in their hands. Both scored two TDs. Speller is an eighth grader to moved to Davie County last winter.“Tyrone had a solid game,” Mayfield said. “He is just learning the running back spot. He’s more of a receiver. He’s not used to running it between the tack-les, so it’s all new to him.”South won its opener against Erwin by the same 30-6 score. Ellis (1-0) had a bye last week.
