Wilkesboro St. opening date uncertain and Scott Jones, district engi-neer for the DOT about why the Wilkesboro Street round-about was taking months to complete, when one at I-40 and Farmington Road was constructed in a couple of weeks.The answer: N.C. DOT crews built the roundabout on Farmington Road; Country Boy Landscaping was con-tracted to construct the one on Wilkesboro Street. “We understand it’s a con-cern of yours,” Jones said. “It’s a concern of ours, too.”Part of the Wilkesboro Street delay, he said, was that it included right of ways and relocation of utilities such as water and sewer; neither of which was a concern at Farm-ington Road.They, too, were baffled at the delay on Wilkesboro Street.The company was under contract to complete the $2.5 million project by the end of August, and could face fines for the delays.Orange barrelson the wayThe two engineers gave up-dates on other Davie projects, from replacing the US 601 bridge over I-40 in Mocksville to a new interchance from Bal-timore Road to I-40.• A new roundabout at US 158 and Farmington Road is likely to be constructed - by the DOT - next summer.• A dedicated right turn lane from NC 801 onto US 158 in Bermuda Run should be com-pleted later this month.• Plans are being made for adding lanes and a median to US 601 from Madison Road to Cana Road in Mocksville. The project is scheduled for con-struction in 2028, and will in-clude a new bridge over I-40. Mrs. Pearcy and Davie County Early College students bring cones to Davie Community Park as part of the schools community service projects.Students who care Community groups benefit from Early College efforts The students had signed up to help organizations and places that needed volunteers, including: A Storehouse for Jesus, Rich Park, Farming-ton Community Center, and Downtown Mocksville. Chloe Sutherland, a 10th grader, sorted through piles of donated clothes at A Store-house for Jesus. “I enjoyed the feeling of helping people that were in need of clothes,” she said. Gregory Williamson, a freshman, was among those who went to Rich Park to help after recent storms. Branches had fallen onto the walking paths. The volunteers cleared the limbs and branches from the area and loaded them onto trucks.

Hall eventually did leave the bus, and was identified via the bus video system.He was taken into custody in lieu of a $2,000 bond, pend-ing a Sept. 28 appearance in Davie District Court. He was Busy week 2 arrested; 1 at elementary school, another at bus stop Please See Arrests - Page 4 Many of my peers at Davie High have ex-pressed strong feelings about the roundabout that was put in place on Farmington Road at I-40.Senior Kera Williams thinks the circle should’ve been placed in the front of the high school. Chy Barnett believes that the traffic has gotten better from years prior. Stephen Vernon has completely changed the way he gets to school from years prior. He gets off the interstate exit as he finds it lets him get into the traffic circle easier. Junior Carleigh Croom said: “I think the new traffic circle is unnecessary.” Junior Addi Wilson is late almost every day. Callie Wisecarver, also a junior, thinks the morn-ings aren’t that bad but it’s the afternoons that are much more stressful. Anderson Beliveau offers a solution. The junior says that another entrance should be opened into the student parking lot.Get ready. The next roundabout is scheduled to be built next year at Farmington Road and US 158.

Tell us what you think The Literary Corner: Renegade Writer’s Guild Road Trips – HomecomingBy Denise Bell The word “homecoming” can invoke thoughts of many things. Thoughts of fall, presenting us with a beau-tiful display of brilliant colors painted across the land-scape. Bright lights on a Friday night, the roar of fans and a football game. Memories of a school dance the following night, high school students dressed to impress. But home-coming also invokes thoughts of family, reuniting with those we love. My most recent road trip was a trip home to Michigan over Labor Day. My grandson had recently graduated from high school, I went “home” for his graduation party. Since I only recently moved away, the idea of coming home was not defined the same way as it is now. I no longer have a home to settle into after the long drive from North Caroli-na. I must now arrange to stay with my daughter and her family. Figuring out where I will sleep amidst my daugh-ter, her husband and my four grandchildren plus dog is challenging but the grandchildren are happy to sleep on air mattresses in order have me there with them. I have a long list of friends I want to visit, places I want to eat as well as a bit of sightseeing around town just to see what has changed since I lived there. As I near the place of my birth, Detroit, I am greeted by the outlines of the city. They are shining before me as the sun is setting, welcoming me back. I am thrilled to get my first glimpse of the Gordie Howe International Bridge, the new bridge to Canada. The two towers gleaming, one off the Canadian side, one off the U.S. side, not yet connect-ing. I arrived after rush hour and had a chance to soak in the landmarks, places I loved and have missed.The dog is the most excited when I arrive at the house. He can hardly contain himself and happily follows me around the house as I am greeted by my grandchildren. My grandchildren have a list of things they want to do with me. Our time has become “quality time.” We had already grown out of sleepovers when I moved away. When I lived just a few blocks away, they stopped visiting me here and there on occasion but most times it was just fleeting mo-ments together at birthday parties and family dinners. But now they want to fill all the moments I am there, spending time together, watching TV shows snuggled together with the dog at my feet. Going to the movies together, shop-ping, etc. All the while, laughing and giggling about funny things from days spent together in the years past. This heartfelt welcome, the joy that we are all so gen-uinely filled with, this reunion with loved ones warms my heart. Our time together was filled with love and celebra-tion. I now know the feeling of this kind of “homecom-ing.” As I am heading out of town, the cityscape in my rearview mirror, I am excited to be returning home to the other half of my family in North Carolina and a different “homecoming” soon to be had. Paul’s AdviceBy Marie CraigThis year in Sunday School we are studying the New Testament. In preparing the scripture assignment for the next session, I read from First Corinthians. Paul wrote letters to encourage the people in Corinth and to give them advice. Some of the verses are a little abstract, and others pertain to traditions of that time which aren’t practiced to-day. I kept reading and found the following.In chapter 10, verse 12, I related to this: “Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.” That sounded like good advice as I remembered stand-ing on a stool trying to reach something. I thought of oth-ers who have pushed the limits in what they should have been doing and have broken their arms or legs because of reaching a little too far and then falling.Even though this is a good application of Paul’s advice, I imagine this was not what Paul had in mind. I feel sure he was telling his people to be persistent in believing and practicing their new religion and to treat their neighbors with respect and love. As we all strive to become better people and stay the course, it is easy to forget our purpose and to lose sight of our good goals. Diligence needs to accompany any wor-thy challenge. Some folks joke about how quickly they lose their zeal with New Year’s Resolutions. Being a graphic learner, instead of abstract, I find that I persevere better if I write things down and then do some-thing like a check off list. Marking every day on a calen-dar for accomplishing goals, such as walking, exercising, phoning sick and needy persons, avoiding addictions such as alcohol, tobacco, caffeine, and harmful drugs, practic-ing music, cleaning house, and landscaping will be help-ful. Perhaps, too, he was including the advice that some-times you’re not doing as well as you think. If you have a smug feeling that you’re perfect, you’re probably not. Humility is such an important trait. Questioning yourself to see if you’re doing your best might be an interpretation of this verse. I heard a quote once, “Everybody’s vulnera-ble.” There’s not a time when a person, business, or gov-ernment is perfect. Life is a series of questioning yourself and seeing if there’s more improvement to be made. 988By Julie Terry CartnerSo, this is what it feels like to fly, he thought, as he ca-reened through the air below the bridge. It’s so beautiful. He opened his eyes to the blue skies, the powder white clouds, and the buffet of autumnal hues heralding the ear-ly months of fall. You might be able to put paintbrush to canvas and re-create this scene, he thought, but nothing can surpass or even equal the sublime beauty of nature. Because colors were not just the colors on a palate, they were alive. In constant motion with the vagrancies of the breeze ruffling through the leaves and swirling through the clouds, the rays of sunshine kept the trees, the leaves, the earth itself changing in a continual kaleidoscope of colors.And with that, as if he were seeing nature’s beauty for the first time, he finally saw creation for the wonder it was. Great, he thought, now that it’s all but over, now I see what I have been missing. Suddenly, ironically, he wanted to live more than he wanted his next breath.He’d said his good-byes. He’d left notes for his family then walked out the door. When they came home that af-ternoon, there would be nobody to see, no gruesome image for them to carry in their brains forever. Despite the ache in his heart and the muddle in his brain, he’d wanted to spare them that. Never, never would he have wanted his mom, dad, or sister to go in his room and find him.He'd messed up. He’d made bad friends and worse de-cisions. He hadn’t wanted to be in that group who had no respect for the law, for personal property, and the sanctity of life. But he’d gotten caught up and then gotten too deep. This seemed to be the only way out, though of course he By Mike WaldenNCSU I spent all of my professional career – totaling 43 years – in higher education. When I joined the faculty of N.C. State University in 1978, colleges and universities were expanding. Enrollment was rising, programs were grow-ing and faculty positions were being added. One of the biggest challenges for academic departments was deciding what types of specializations to recruit for the new hires.The recent news about West Virginia University (WVU) couldn’t present more of a contrast. WVU, the largest uni-versity in West Virginia, announced enrollment declines are forcing a 16% cut in faculty and the elimination of 32 programs. These changes to a well-respected institution in operation since 1867 sent shock waves throughout higher education nationwide. While most higher education insti-tutions are not sharing WVU’s plight, there are worries they may in the near future. A look at enrollment trends at four-year colleges and universities in the nation is causing worry. From 1970 to 2010, which some call the “golden age” of higher edu-cation, enrollment in higher education jumped 100%. But enrollment growth from 2010 to 2030 is expected to be only 9%. After 2030, projections show nationwide college enrollment falling, just as has happened in West Virginia. This trend has been dubbed the “enrollment cliff.”There are other issues facing higher education. A big one is cost. Annual tuition and fees for the school year 2022-23 at public four-year institutions are over two times higher than 30 years earlier in 1992-23. This is after ad-justing for general inflation, meaning the dollars have the same purchasing power in both time periods. For private four-year institutions, the increase was slightly lower, at 1.8 times higher than in 1992-93.A second issue is the financial return from a higher ed-ucation degree. Traditionally, jobs requiring a college de-gree paid much more than other jobs, thereby making the expense of a college education worthwhile. A recent study from the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis confirms this is still the case. If paying for a college education is thought of as an investment, the study shows the annual interest rate earned is in the double digits.Yet there are important exceptions to this generaliza-tion. The national dropout rate for enrolled college stu-dents is 40%. Research shows college dropouts earn less than high school graduates. Also, almost 60% of college students take more than four years to graduate, thereby in-creasing their total costs and reducing the net benefits from the degree. Lastly, the investment returns from a college degree vary significantly by the student’s major.There are significant regional differences in these is-sues facing higher education. While several analyses pre-dict college enrollment will begin to dip in North Carolina before the end of the current decade, the drop will be less than in many other states.College costs also vary among states. Student expenses at public universities in North Carolina are more afford-able than elsewhere. North Carolina public universities have the 8th lowest tuition and fees among all states. The UNC System also has better results for student completion than comparable institutions.Nevertheless, the conclusion is that higher education – including in North Carolina - will face important chal-lenges in the future, including challenges that could sig-nificantly change how they operate.Consider enrollment. If colleges and universities find the traditional base of 18-24-year-olds shrinking or even just slowing in growth, they could increase focus on old-er age groups. With the labor market and occupations expected to radically change in the future as technology continues to develop and expand, there will likely be a need to retrain and reskill a significant percentage of ex-isting workers. Colleges and universities could develop programs to address this need. We could see the college and university of the future teaching a different age de-mographic.To control costs, higher education institutions will be under increased pressure to evaluate programs and ser-vices on a cost/benefit basis and make some hard decisions about generating savings. Based on my experience as a faculty member over seven decades, I know most faculty strongly believe their work is essential. I don’t envy those administrators and leaders who may have to make deci-sions like those at West Virginia University.While academics are usually rated on their teaching and publishing, academic advising of students is often under-appreciated. It shouldn’t be. Advising is the link between the student’s academic work and their future oc-cupation. The role of the adviser is to align the student’s interests with the reality of the kinds of occupations they can pursue. Improved and expanded academic advising can reduce the time needed for students to graduate as well as be a guide to jobs they understand and expect.In short, higher education may be facing a reset. While I won’t be there to participate, I, like you, will decide if it’s successful. Walden is a William Neal Reynolds Distinguished Pro-fessor Emeritus at North Carolina State University. Higher education facing a reset Davie residents of a certain age have fond memories of the Masonic Picnic.Back in the day, it was the highlight of every Davie kid’s summer. There were carnival rides. Remember, this was before Carowinds and other amusement parks. If you wanted to get on an amusement ride, you went to the pic-nic.It’s a wonder we survived. Looking back, those ma-chines were, well, rickety. So were the characters who op-erated them.But it didn’t matter. The picnic had the rides and smells of a carnival, and all of your friends from school were there, many of whom you hadn’t seen all summer.I remember coming home once with an armful of dish-es I had won tossing nickles. My mom wasn’t happy. She didn’t need or want the dishes.I also remember that first public kiss, somewhere be-hind the Tilt-A-Whirl. My head is still spinning.Even my father remembered going to the picnic back in the ‘30s. He earned money by tending an acre of cotton. He lost that money at the picnic to a con artist with a spin-ning wheel. It only happened once.While no longer a week-long event with carnival rides, the picnic is still going on, folks. It’s changed, but hasn’t everything?On Saturday afternoon and evening, the picnic grounds off of North Main Street in Mocksville will be filled with food trucks, vendors, games and live music. The Masonic lodges in Davie County are doing what they can to keep the tradition alive.Why?The cause is more than worthy.All it took for me was one trip to the Masonic Home for Children in Oxford (That’s where proceeds from the pic-nic have always gone). I had no idea what to expect. One little girl pretty much sealed the deal as she held onto my leg while I was there. It was all I could do to walk without carrying her along.And around every turn was a child - a child wanting attention. “Look at this.” “Watch me.” “Do you want to play?”It was overwhelming, and heartwarming. These chil-dren were being lovingly cared for.Things are done a bit differently at the children’s home nowadays, but the mission is the same. They give children without much of a home life a place to grow into produc-tive and happy adults.It’s OK to drop an extra twenty in the donation jar on Saturday. There’s no better feeling than helping a child.- Mike Barnhardt Picnic’s mission still the same DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Sept. 14, 2023 - 3White House Weddings By Betty Etchison WestFor the Enterprise A third White House wedding occurred while Woodrow Wilson served as President. Wilson and his wife, Ellen, had three daughters, two of whom were married in the White House. The other White House wedding during his watch was not that of the oldest Wilson daughter, who nev-er got married, but it was that of a niece.Alice Wilson, the daugh-ter of President Wilson’s brother, Joseph, and her fiancé wanted to get mar-ried in Baltimore, and she wanted her uncle, Wood-row Wilson, to attend her wedding. Her uncle did not feel that he could be away from the White House long enough to attend a wed-ding in Baltimore because the United States was so deeply involved in World War I in 1918. That is the reason that President Wil-son invited his niece. Alice, to get married at the White House. That is exactly what happened. Alice Wilson and the Rev. Isaac Stuart McEl-roy Jr. were married in a formal ceremony in the White House Blue Room at 8 p.m. on Aug. 7, 1918, with about a dozen guests. Even though there was strong anti-German feeling in the country because of the war, the bride did want the traditional “Lohengrin” and Mendelssohn wedding march played. The Marine Band followed the bride’s wishes and played those songs as the President and his wife led the wedding party down the stairs. The bride then entered the Blue Room on the arm of her fa-ther, Joseph Wilson.The bride chose as her trousseau one befitting for the wife of a missionary be-cause Rev. Isaac McElroy planned to become a foreign missionary. Her wedding dress is described in the book, White House Brides, by Smith and Durbin in the following manner. “It was an ankle-length gown of white georgette over ivory satin, hand-embroidered with beads “ The bride car-ried a bouquet of roses and lilies of the valley. The cer-emony was performed by the Rev. I. S. McElroy of the Presbyterian Church of Columbus Georgia.After the ceremony, the President and his wife led the way to the State Dining Room where a fine dinner was served. There were about 16 guests at the din-ner so the Wison/McElroy wedding and dinner were indeed a small when com-pared to all of the other White House weddings.After the dinner, the newlyweds left for a hon-eymoon in the mountains with the Alice wearing a dark brown georgette dress with a dark brown velvet hat trimmed with black blue burnt ostrich feathers. After a few days, Alice and Isaac went on to White Sulphur Springs where the groom would serve as pastor of the Presbyterian Church for a year before he and his wife left for a five-year missionary assignment in Japan. The McElroys had five daughters, who gave them 16 grandchildren. The Wil-son/McElroy White House wedding resulted in a long and happy marriage, but when asked if she would advise another bride to have a White House wedding if such a thing was possible. Alice said, “No,” and she added, “The White House is not a place you can revis-it later as you could if you were married in a church.”President Wilson was followed by President War-ren G. Harding, who died after serving two years; Calvin Coolidge, who served six years; and Her-bert Hoover, who served four. There was not a White House during the terms of those three presidents. Franklin Delano Roo-sevelt was elected Presi-dent of the United States in 1932. The Roosevelts had four sons and one daughter. During Roosevelt’s term all of his five children were married once and one was married twice. There were six Roo-sevelt weddings while Franklin Delano Roosevelt served as president, but none of them took place in the White House. (A sur-prising fact; all told, the children of Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt had 15 marriages among them, including those before, during, and after their fa-ther served as president.)There was one White House wedding while Franklin D. Roosevelt served as president, the wedding of Mr. Roosevelt’s top assistant, Mr. Har-ry Hopkins, to Mary Gill Macy on July 30, 1942. The bride, Mary Gill Macy, is described in the book, “The White House”, by Smith and Durbin, as being ”a slim, smart-look-ing 36 year old former Paris editor of ‘Harper’s Bazaar,” who had operated a dress shop in New York since her return from Paris at the be-ginning of the war.”The noon ceremony was held in the President’s Study which was later the Oval Drawing Room in the First Family’s private quarters on the second floor of the White House. The bride wore a street-length dress of deep blue crepe. The President served as the groom’s best man. The only people who attend-ed the wedding were: the President, his wife, and the two families, which in-cluded the grooms’ 9-year-old daughter and her three half-brothers. After a brief wedding trip, the Hopkins and his daughter, Diana, lived at the White House in the suite where Hopkins had lived before the wedding. Harry Hopkins died in January 1946, four years after he married Mary Gill Macy. Mary Gill Hopkins got married again in Sep-tember 1947 to Geoffrey Gates, director of the Par-sons School of Design in New York. She lived until 1963.Harry Hopkins’ daugh-ter, Diana, who was 9 when her father married Miss Macy, grew up, married a lawyer, and had two chil-dren. She loved to tell her children about living in the White House. Woodrow Wilson’s niece the next to tie the knot Renegade ...

It mattered not that it was a heart attack and not a bullet that ended his life, they were still responsible. He knew the police would be at his door soon. He had no doubts cameras had documented the actions of the group. It didn’t even matter that he hadn’t done anything. The very fact that he’d done nothing to stop the attack made him culpable. He couldn’t bear to see the shame in his parents’ eyes, and so he’d taken the easy way out. As he’d stepped off the bridge, he’d whispered his final good-bye. In mere sec-onds it would be over. And now, now that it was too late to stop his actions or change the outcome, as he absorbed the beauty around him, he regretted his choice with every fiber of his being. Life, good or bad, was to be lived, cherished, and protected. Family was a gift of infinite love. If given a second chance, he’d do things differently.But it was too late. Even as he thought those thoughts, his feet broke the surface of the river, and he plummet-ed down, down, down into its depths. He didn’t hear the screams for help from his baby sister who had followed him. He didn’t see the motorboat that raced to him. He didn’t feel the desperate hands that swam through the wa-ter searching for the white of the T shirt he was wearing. He didn’t feel the chest compressions urgently beseeching his body to stay alive. He certainly didn’t feel the cool clean air entering his lungs, but all those things happened.When he awakened in the ICU, he felt the cool, crisp sheets and smelled the antiseptics. He heard the soft squeaks of the nurse’s shoes as she checked his stats. Most importantly, he saw the love on the faces of his family, and he knew, he knew he’d been given a second chance.*September is National Suicide Prevention Month. #BeThe1To is the 988 message which helps spread the word about actions we can all take to prevent suicide. “Research shows people who are having thoughts of sui-cide feel relief when someone asks after them in a caring way. Findings suggest acknowledging and talking about suicide may reduce rather than increase suicidal ideation.” https://988lifeline.org/promotenationalsuicideprevention-month Murder in a Small TownBy Gaye HootsI now live in the small coastal town of Oriental, where it is smaller and quieter than Advance, where safety seems assured. A few weeks this illusion was shattered by a murder a few miles from my home. There is a beautiful equestrian farm with a barn that rivals the fancier houses here. It al-ways catches my eye when I pass by. We drove by a few weeks ago. and the barn had burned.I followed the local news and saw that someone locally had been charged with the murder of the older caretaker who lived in an apartment over the stable. A few weeks lat-er, my girls were attending a festival in Oriental and heard the story of the murder.A young girl was pointed out and identified as the girl-friend of the murderer. On the day of the murder, she and the man charged were drinking in a local bar, and their behavior aroused suspicions as they were also using other substances. The female was described as scantily dressed and “all over him.” They were observed by a friend of the man’s wife, whose family owned the barn.The wife was well known for all the equestrian awards she won, displayed on the barn’s lower level. When in-formed of her husband’s whereabouts and behavior, she drove to the bar and confronted her husband. This scene would equal any of the drama on TV. I heard her husband became enraged and either returned to their home or con-fronted his wife and children somewhere. He struck his wife and possibly one of the children, then had the girl-friend drive him to the barn. He sought revenge by setting the barn on fire to destroy all her trophies. Whether he was aware of the presence of the caretaker is unclear, but as a family member, he must have known of the living arrange-ments. The barn burned, and the caretaker lost his life.The local gossip was that the man charged came from a wealthy family with a history of minor scrapes, which money had helped smooth over. His use of alcohol, poor judgment, and temper tantrum has cost him his family and probably his freedom. It cost the tenant his life.The news has some version of this story every day. A student, enraged over a poor grade, kills his instructor. A drunk man starts a fight at a bar or attacks his wife. If fired, someone returns to the workplace and kills the Notice is hereby given that the Town of Mocksville Board of Commissioners will hold a public hearing on the Comprehensive Transportation Plan during a Regular Meeting on Tuesday, October 3, 2023 at 6:00 p.m. The meeting will be held at Mocksville Town Hall, 171 Clement Street, Mocksville, NC. All interested citizens will have the opportunity to give oral and written comments regarding the Compre- hensive Transportation Plan. Written comments can be sent via email to ltrivette@mocksvillenc.gov You can link to the document here: https://connect.ncdot.gov/projects/planning/ TPBCTP/Davie-Surry-Yadkin_Regional_CTP/DSY- CTP-Report.pdf A CTP is a long-range planning document that will assist in making transportation decisions for the next 25 to 30 years and is required by NC General Statute §136.66.2. The study is a joint effort with Da- vie County, Davie County Municipalities, the North Carolina Department of Transportation-Transporta- tion Planning Division (NCDOT TPD), and Northwest Piedmont Rural Planning Organization (NWPRPO). The CTP study involves both government officials and the public to determine the area’s future trans- portation needs based on the best information available including, but not limited to, population, economic conditions, traffic trends and patterns of land development in the county. The study will also include multimodal forms of transportation (bicycle, pedestrian, and public transportation). Mocksville’s most recent CTP was mutually adopted by the NC Board of Transportation in October 2011. All meetings of the Board of Commissioners are open to the public in accordance with the North Carolina Open Meetings Law. The meeting facilities are handicap accessible, and anyone requiring spe- cial assistance should notify the Clerk to the Board at (336) 753-6700.

All interested citizens will have the oppor- tunity to give oral and written comments regarding the System Development Fees. The Town of Mocksville engaged Raftelis Financial Consultants, Inc. (“Raftelis”) to study and recom- mend System Development Fees for our Water and Sewer systems for fiscal year (“FY”) 2024 (July 1, 2023 – June 30, 2024). System development fees are one-time charges assessed to new water and/ or sewer customers for their use of system capac- ity and serve as an equitable method by which to recover up-front system capacity costs from those using the capacity.

As a retired mental health nurse, I know of a growing population of users and untreated people with mental health issues, poor judgment, and lack of control.Screening and treatment should start in preschool. No screening is given to new parents; many babies leave the hospital with parents who cannot qualify to get a dog from the pound. When years of mental or emotional abuse go untreated, the results are often disastrous. Mental illness does not justify actions or absolve responsibility, but rec-ognition could save many innocent lives and the life of the person responsible as well.Recent news in Advance describes a local murder that falls into this category. The man charged had a history of violence. Many of the murders are committed by felons with a record that is a definite red flag. Those released usually have no treatment while incarcerated and little if any, chance of getting a job that allows them to support themselves. This is a dangerous combination. The present overcrowding in prisons makes it a more likely scenario.Please stay aware of the people you are in contact with in every area of your life. Be kind and slow to anger, en-gage in arguments, road rage, etc., and avoid large crowds where alcohol rules. Late-night crowds have the potential to be dangerous. Err on the side of caution and teach your kids to as well. There are many ways funds for mental health assess-ment and screening could improve lives, but in my experi-ence, the trend is decreased availability and funding. I be-lieve the bigger the town, workplace, school, and crowd, the more enormous the potential is for violence. Local news In your inbox For free Sign up for the Enterprise Record weekly newsletter.

Areas like this were vi-tally important for early civilizations and are just as important today. Knowing the significance of this land for wildlife hab-itat and historical context, Three Rivers Land Trust has worked since 1995 to con-serve this peninsula.Thanks to a new acquisi-tion of 121 acres completed on Sept. 6, the total land owned by TRLT at the Point area comes to 1,770 acres. When you consider the nearby 2,463 acres acquired by the N.C. Wildlife Re-sources Commission in large part to support from TRLT in 2019, known as the Yadkin River Gamelands, the total conserved acreage in this corridor comes to more than 4,100 acres.This property boasts more than 2,000 feet of frontage on the South Yadkin River, a stream listed as impaired. Protecting local waters is a core component of TRLT’s mission.“Protecting water quality along this stream is a high priority for TRLT. The for-ested stream corridors on this new acquisition along with the other lands owned by TRLT, provide important buffers that help promote and improve water quality for this area,” said TRLT Executive Director Travis Morehead. “Just down-stream of this property is the water intake for the City of Salisbury, so protecting wa-ter quality here helps pro-vide clean drinking water for local residents.” “There is no other prop-erty so close to Winston-Salem and the rapidly de-veloping areas surrounding it with the same acreage and quality of wildlife habitat as the Point Property,” states Conservation Lands Man-ager Katie Stovall. “With the abundance of deer, tur-key, songbirds, pollinators, and other species that call this area home, due to the patchwork of habitat types found here and the manage-ment work TRLT is doing, this is truly a unique loca- tion for wildlife.”This project was com-pleted thanks to support from Fred and Alice Stan-back and additional TRLT donors. Three Rivers Land Trust works with private landowners to protect con-servation properties like this one in the Piedmont and Sandhills of NC. For more information on how to conserve property, contact Emily Callicutt, senior land protection spe-cialist, at emily@trlt.org or 704-647-0302. An additional 121 acres along the South Yadkin River near where it meets the Yadkin River at The Point has been acquired by the Three Rivers Land Trust for conservation.4,233 acres Land trust acquisition protects more land at Point peninsula The hillsides that border the South Yadkin will be protected from development to prevent runoff.

Mildred planted the azaleas (that bloom every spring) and flowering trees that are enjoyed by those who live or are passing through Tanglewood Farms. “I have never had a marigold like this in spite of our bad heat and rain."While Mildred's health will no longer permit her to plant outside her patios, she keeps her patios (front and back) looking gorgeous. Just within the past year she noticed a stray kitten.While Mildred has always had a spe- cial place in her heart for dogs, this kitten was something special. Mildred started leaving food and water on her back patio to gain his trust and within a few months, Oreo had a new home inside Mildred's condo with all the love and attention he deserves. "All it took was for him to look up at me and say Meow,” she said.Oreo is good company, and a good listener. Coleus, begonias and marigolds are just some of the flowers that keep Mildred White’s patio the garden of Tanglewood Farms. At right, Oreo peeks out from under a table.

Let’s continue to enjoy the small vestiges of summer while moving toward a new season.Usually found in the “this and that” section of cook-books – the spreads, dips, marinades, and finishing sauces are added touches of savory flavor that make a recipe so delicious. Often referred to as the final touch – they include chutneys and relishes, as well. These names are often inter-changed nowadays, so it's understandable that one might get confused as to what’s what. But one thing’s for sure, when you add one of these little, versatile additions – you virtually “kiss” your dish with an extra essence. Most think of these big flavor bursts as condiments – the good stuff. They can be made from sa-vory or sweet fruits, vegetables, vinegars, spices, and season-ings. Condiments can be thick and chunky or thin and of a more spreadable consistency. Foods are often enjoyed when prepared simply – yet their natural flavor can be enhanced by adding a de-lectable sauce made from fresh ingredients.You might not be familiar with a few words in today’s recipes – I used a French culinary dictionary. Just to confuse, someone had to go and get all fancy on us – using big words. Even so, the recipes are not difficult but simple – and impactful.Life can be a lot like cooking. Often, it’s those small, simple moments that have the greatest impact on our lives. Our relationships, friendships, memories. and experiences are what’s most important in life. But we can’t forget our larger purpose in all these moments – to bring God greater glory and to advance His kingdom. In Ephesians 2:10, Paul emphasizes, “For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” (NIV)Just imagine that – we are God’s masterpieces – and “tai-lor-made.” We were designed and given talents – no matter how small – specifically for performing good works. And the smallest of words are given for seasoning with big fla-vor – like salt. The Bible is our source of wisdom in all of life’s circum-stances – even the most seemingly trivial of circumstances. There’s not a little or big situation we face that the Bible does not address. Read what Jesus tells us in Luke 16: 10-12 about how little things can relate to much bigger things – like integrity. “Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much. So if you have not been trustworthy in handling worldly wealth, who will trust you with true riches?” (NIV)Let us not overlook the little – but important, things – throughout the seasons of our lives.

But little did Barr/Brincefield know that Lankford, 37 years re-moved from All-America honors at N.C. State, was about to have another date with destiny. Barr’s ball was four feet from the hole. But when the incredible and ridiculous Lankford put the clubface on his tee ball, he knew ...Before we look at Lankford’s answer on 17, let’s educate the young’uns out there about Grisette and Lankford. They have been golfing icons in Davie County since the 1980s. They were teammates on Davie’s 1982 powerhouse team. Lankford, who graduated from Davie in 1982, was All-ACC as a N.C. State sophomore and senior. He was a first team All-American in 1986. He made the PGA Tour in 1988. He captured nine major championships in the Carolinas Professional Golf Association. He played in the PGA Championship five times in a span of six years in the late 1990s/2000s. Grisette, who graduated from Davie in 1984, joined Lankford at N.C. State and qualified for the NCAA Tournament as an indi-vidual in 1987. In 1985 he won the North Carolina Amateur title. He also won the North & South Amateur at Pinehurst No. 2 in 1988. In the grueling PGA Tour Qualifying tournament in 1993, he missed his PGA Tour card by one stroke. From 1990-96, he played professionally on the European Tour and Nike Tour. He played in five PGA Tour events, including a tie for 15th in the Chattanooga Classic and a round at 9-under 63 in a tournament in Branson, Mo. When Grisette and Lank-ford decided to compete in the Crowder-Dorsett Four-Ball Me-morial Labor Day Golf Tour-nament at the Country Club of Salisbury, an annual event that always attracts a star-studded field, they were not only playing against 20-somethings who hit mammoth drives, they were playing against time. But the Davie legends held off Father Time, won the champion-ship flight with four victories in three days and became the oldest champions in the 71-year history of the championship flight (com-bined age of 116). Lankford, 59, is a member of the CC of Salisbury but had never competed in the Labor Day tour-ney. Grisette, 57, had played Salis-bury only a handful of times since high school. The Davie High hall of famers had not been teammates since they played together at N.C. State in 1985-86. The Labor Day tournament fea-tured 340 golfers and 170 teams, with 120 teams competing in three days of match play. “They were tough because Grizzly vets take Salisbury golf championship Please See Duo - Page B5 By Brian PittsEnterprise Record The Davie JV football team only completed three passes in Defense stellar in JV win 11 attempts against visiting West Rowan, but the offense made up for that with a powerful ground game. The defense also looked stellar, resulting in a 13-6 victory for the 2-1 War Eagles. This was a makeup game that was played on Sept. 6. Davie never trailed, but three turnovers allowed the Falcons to hang around. Davie’s defense was put in tough spots all game, but it picked up the slack time and time again. “Their average starting field po-sition was our 45, but the defense never batted an eye,” defensive coordinator Blaine Nicholson said. “They really fought hard because we were one score from it being a loss.”Davie led 7-6 after the first quarter. The lead was 13-6 at halftime, and that was it as far as points go. Jamarius Pelote (13 carries, 137 yards) and Cameron Knox (12 carries, 122 yards) dominated on the ground. Pelote scored both touchdowns, including one score on a 54-yard run, and Knox was a big weapon for the second game in a row - after putting up 134 yards in the win over North Davidson. “There were some big-time runs between the two of those guys,” Nicholson said. “They were making great cuts. Jamarius has great vision. I wish we would have held onto the ball a little better and By Brian PittsEnterprise Record The Davie JV soccer team’s season-opening win over West Iredell wasn’t a fluke. In the first two games, including a 3-0 win at Alexander Central on Aug. 29, the War Eagles have been exorcising years of demons. Why did the 2-0 start feel amazing? Davie went 2-51-4 from 2019-22, including 1-16-3 last year in the first year of the Scott McBain rebuild. Just like that, Da-vie has the most wins since going 5-14-2 in 2018. “Every player got a chance to contribute,” coach McBain said after Davie handed the Cougars (1-1-2) their first loss. “It takes a team to win and there were many good performances building up to each shot and goal scored. “The games will get tougher as we progress, but we are off to a good start.”The coach gushed about Hector Rodriguez, who scored all three goals in the first half. He did not play in the second half. “I have played and coached for over 60 years,” McBain said. “Hector is one of the few to be able to target a spot and nail it with perfection. He’s a little man with loads of power. Also give credit to defenders Ezra Regalado, Jaxon Cruse and Eric Martinez; goalies David Fishel and Porter Spann; and mid-fielder Hunter Stephens. “We had a solid defense,” he said. “Both goal keepers made some made-for-TV saves. Hunter assisted our goal scorer.”Forbush 2, Davie 1Davie was not able to build off the W. Iredell/Alexander Central wins when it visited Forbush on Aug. 31. It fell behind 2-0 and lost 2-1. The War Eagles got on the board when Andy Longares sank a lob shot over the goalie’s head.

Lentz Wildlife Education Center and Range in Ellerbe. “We did quite well with a good haul of medals and everyone who participated qualified for at least one event at the NC 4-H State Tournament on Sept. 30,” said Nelson Cowden.There were only three seniors - Kenzie Smith, Levi Williams and Oliver Fillmore. As a team, they won silver in muzzleloader with Levi also taking sec-ond place in muzzleloader, missing first place by one point. Levi also qualified for the state tournament in smallbore pistol and open sight rifle.The Junior DC Blaze Team racked up hardware, finishing first in muzzle-loader and smallbore open sight rifle as well as third in shotgun and air rifle. Team members for muzzleloader and shotgun included Riley Barnes, Cameron White, Brantlee Evans, Dakota Hofh-Wilkinson and Tyler Nichols. The Open-Sight Rifle and Air Rifle Teams were Riley Barnes, Cam-eron White, Brantlee Evans I am still getting used to walking out to my seat around a dove field before daylight. But I think I like it.For most of my forma-tive years, dove season didn’t open until noon on the first Saturday in Sep-tember – or on Labor Day, whichever came first. You got to your spot a few minutes before 12, and in 90-degree heat, you cooked like a fine steak un-til the birds started flying. Sometimes, you finish in a relatively short period of time, and sometimes – de-pending on the field – the birds might not start pour-ing in for a couple of hours.But for the last 15 or 20 years, North Carolina has allowed hunters to set up on their dove stools and 5-gal-lon buckets and start mak-ing ammunition companies a lot of money 30 minutes before dawn.I will gladly take the trade-off of getting up for doves at the same time I get up for turkey season, for missing out on the midday heat.Opening day of dove season was a fine example. I was at a fast-food place, getting a box of biscuits to feed my hosts, at 5:30, met my son at 6 a.m. so we could go the last few miles in one vehicle, and was taking my shotgun out Davie 4-H Shooting Sports Club members winning awards at a regional tournament include, from left: Brantlee Evans with his winning muzzleloader target; Cooper Rogers, Elliot Crandall and Tyler Crandall at the rifle competition; Evan Durham shows off his medals; and Riley Barnes and Kenzie Smith relax before the awards ceremony.Shooters qualify for state tournament The Jr. DC Blaze Team: Dakota Hohf-Wilkinson, Riley Barnes, Brantlee Evans, Cameron White, Tyler Nichols.Davie’s Peter Redelsheimer at Recurve (center in blue and or- ange).

When legal shooting time arrived at around 6:25, I was sit-ting up against a make-shift fence, looking over a 30-yards wide disked field that had been top-dressed with wheat.The doves didn’t take long to arrive, looking for breakfast. The guys on the neighboring piece of prop-erty – with a dirt road and power line splitting their property, got going a lot sooner than we did, but we caught up just fine.By 7 a.m., I was men-tally smacking myself in the face for not bringing sunglasses; all of the doves seemed to be coming in right out of the sun, rising above the pines to the east. That took some getting used to, but it didn’t take much for muscle memory to take over and to christen a new shotgun, a retirement present. I had nine birds with the first box of shells and finished off my 15-bird limit around 8:45, before the second box was emp-ty – awfully good shooting for a senior citizen with bi-focals. My son finished his limit about 20 minutes lat-er, and we were in his truck, with the dog hosed down and watered, with plen-ty of time for him to get home, clean up and travel to Boone for some pre-App football tailgating.That left me the rest of the day to pick string beans and carrots from the garden and enjoy the air condition-ing.I could get used to this.Archery season for deerNorth Carolina deer hunters got to take to the state’s woods and wild ar-eas on Saturday, Sept. 9, as the statewide archery sea-son for whitetails opened.Hunters took 168,831 deer in the Tarheel State last season, about 42% of them does. The season bag limit is six deer, no more than two of them antlered bucks. There is no daily bag limit; hunters can take their entire limit in a day.All deer harvested must be reported to the N.C. Wildlife Resources Com-mission, either through the 1800-I-GOT-ONE toll-free number or through the commission’s Go Outdoors North Carolina on-line pro-gram.Bow seasons last be-tween 3 weeks and almost 3 months, depending on the part of the state you’re hunting. In the eastern third – the Northeastern and Southeastern hunt units – archery season ends Sept. 29. In the Central hunt unit, archery season ends Oct. 27. More flounder confusionIn late June, the the N.C. Division of Marine Fisher-ies set by proclamation a Sept. 15-29 season in the Coastal waters it manages, with a 1-fish daily creel limit and 15-inch size min-imum.Typically, the N.C. Wildlife Resources Com-mission follows suit and adjusts the season and creel limit in the Joint and Inland waters it manages.Not this year, however. In February 2022, the commission set its joint and inland waters seasons at Sept. 1-14, matching the 2022 season. The commis-sion also matched the di-vision’s 4-fish daily creel limit and 15-inch size min-imum for the 2022 season.Those season dates, creel and size limits remain in effect until until the com-mission votes to change them, and that is a process set by the legislature that takes several months, in-cluding advance notice for being added to a monthly commission meeting agen-da, a required public hear-ing, then another meeting to vote on rule changes.A news release from the commission said that it re-ceived no notice from the division until it received a press release on June 28, so it could not start its rules-making process in time to match the division’s season before the Sept. 1 start of its own season.That leaves anglers able to catch flounder in inland and joint waters – most-ly upstream sections of coastal rivers and creeks – through Sept. 14, and to keep four fish per day. Now, a complicating factor. The division’s an-nouncement of its Sept. 15-29 season declared that its seasons included joint waters. The commission’s release in late August spec-ified that, by statute, the legislature had given it control of joint waters, so its Sept. 1-14 season and limits took precedence.So, don’t dare keep a flounder in Coastal waters until Sept. 15. And before Sept. 15, make sure you’re in joint or inland waters and tell the Marine Patrol guy to stay in his territory.

But for the most part, they did a great job of reading the blocks.”The defense has flour-ished the past two games. The d-line epitomized the effort against West. “Our defensive line is very talented,” Nicholson said of Gio Alcacio, Braylon Arnold, Eli Waddell, Ean Click, Jathan Redmond, Jsiere Arnold and Connor Dixson. “We have a lot of guys who in two years are going to be like the defen-sive line we have on varsity this year.”The next two levels of the defense also deserve considerable credit. The inside linebackers are Bub-by Byington, Luke Wayne, Luke Foster and Jackson Meadwell. The secondary includes Josh Jones, CJ Moore, Colson Sink and Jakob Cable. “The linebacker play has gotten better each week,” Nicholson said. “In the sec-ondary, we got a starter back (Jones) that had been out all season. That was a big pick-up for us. Now we have four sophomores on the back end. CJ has been playing lights out the whole season. He’s going to help us a lot next year on varsity.”Notes: Doing the block-ing for Pelote and Knox were left tackle Ryan Wil-liams, left guards Ahmad McGee and Walker Mat-thews, center Maddox Crea-son, right guard Colt Ratliff and right tackle Sammy Angell. ...

Continued From Page B1nothing rattles them,” Brincefield told the Salis-bury Post. “Every shot they hit comes off the center of the clubface. They’re great guys. They were fun for Charlie and I to play with, and they were fun to watch. I knew Jeff, but I had never met Uly. Uly is kind of a hidden legend that no one actually had seen. He’s an unassuming guy. He walks up to the first tee on Monday and says: ‘Hi, I’m Uly.’”The Davie duo had their qualifying round Aug. 25. They turned in a 6-under 66, but that was only good for a No. 5 seed. It looked like Eric Edwards/Alex Nianouris, who are in their 20s, might own the tour-nament after they shot 61 in qualifying, good for the No. 2 seed. Brincefield and Barr were the top seed as the defending champs. Grisette was caught off-guard when he pulled into the parking lot and saw a spectacle. “I thought it would be a typical Saturday/Sunday tournament, play two days and that would be it,” he said. “I had no idea it was three days. I was surprised it was that big of an event. But we had so much fun. Jeff is about as laidback as you get. The course is really good. (Ron) Bivins (the course Superintendent for 30-plus years who lives in Coolee-mee) does such a good job. It’s a really nice club.”Lankford and Grisette might be pushing 60, but they’re not golfing antiques quite yet. Their internal fires were stoked by the Labor Day challenge, and they’re both as even-keeled as they come. “I didn’t really care what we were seeded,” Grisette said. “When you’ve got Lankford as your partner, you feel pretty good about your chances. But then you get out there and anything can happen in match play. Then you see that (a team) shot 61 in the qualifier, and you know that’s not luck. You realize there’s good players everywhere. There’s three people on my street that can beat me on a bad day.”On Saturday, Sept. 2, Grisette/Lankford opened with a 4 and 3 win over Wes Cline/Jordan Taylor. It was just like it used to be at Davie and State. “Our games are similar,” Grisette said. “We hit the same yardage, same clubs. We’re pretty straight. Same demeanor. Jeffrey played really good on Saturday. I helped him a few holes, but I didn’t need to help him much. The rest of the time, we both helped each other along.”In the Sunday quarter-finals, Grisette/Lankford rolled past Andre Robinson/Terrain Gill, 6 and 5. They sculpted a 7-under score through 13 holes. While Grisette birdied No. 1 and eagled No. 3, Lankford rat-tled off five birdies. “It’s fun playing against these young guys because they’re good and they hit it so far,” Grisette said. “I can remember being that age and thinking there’s no way those old guys are going to beat me. We had over 70 years on a couple teams.”“Uly’s game is as solid as anyone I’ve played with,” Lankford said. “It’s easy to play when you have a part-ner like Uly. He’s always in the hole, so he makes it easy for me to play my game. He’s one of the best drivers I’ve played with.”On Monday morning, Grisette/Lankford had an epic semifinal showdown against the defending champs. Barr is a junior at High Point University who played in the U.S. Amateur this year. Grisette/Lankford roared to a three-hole lead, but the defending champs charged back. Brincefield/Barr birdied 14, 15 and 16 to tie things up. That set the stage for the fateful 17th hole. “We’ve got honors and we’ve got the momentum,” Brincefield said. “Then I hear the crowd roaring when Charlie hits his shot. It’s (219) yards and Charlie puts it four feet from the hole.”“We were three up with five to go, and we kind of thought it was over,” Gri-sette said. “We were kind of fading.”The drama was height-ened by a large crowd. “There were probably 100 people watching the last matches,” Lankford said. “There were a lot of peo-ple watching us play,” Gri-sette said. “The majority of the crowd was rooting for Charlie because he lives there. My wife (Tonya) came for the last match on Monday. I said: ‘Now honey, you’re the only one pulling for us.’ Maybe Ron Bivins was pulling for us. We joked about that, but all the members were real nice.”After Barr threw a dart, there stood a weary but unflappable Lankford. The rivals were in prime position to take the lead, and Lank-ford needed to work some magic. He pulled a 4-hybrid out of his bag and hit the most gorgeous shot you ever saw. It was a frozen rope that stopped two feet from the hole. With the pressure on, he damned near aced it. “Lankford hit one of the best shots I’ve ever seen, especially considering we were even,” Grisette said. “He hit it inside of Charlie. It never left the flag. As soon as he hit it, he said: ‘Get in the hole!’ If it’d gone anoth-er two feet, it would have gone in. We would have lost that match had he not hit that shot.”“It’s one of the best shots I’ve ever hit considering the situation,” Lankford said. Barr, who had a sidehill break on his putt, missed. Lankford, putting straight uphill, drained his to give Davie the lead. Both teams parred 18, resulting in a 1-up win for the grizzly vets. “Charlie beat himself up a little bit for the miss, but that’s a tough putt,” Brincefield said. “You have that putt 50 times and you’re going to miss it 25 times.”In the other semifinal, Keith Dorsett/Jacob Smith squeezed past Edwards/Nianouris 1-up. The temperature was 90-plus. Were the Davie guys going to overheat in the final? “All Uly and I talked about was whether or not we’d have the legs to play two matches in one day,” Lankford said. “We got tired and both of us got sloppy a few holes (in the final),” Grisette said. “But to be honest with you, I think I would have been tired if I was 30 - playing in 95-degree weather and you’re out there for eight hours.”“I’m 47 and I was com-pletely exhausted after 18,” Brincefield said. In the final, Grisette’s outrageous putter - there was a 30-footer for birdie that destiny allowed him to ram into the cup - led a 2 and 1 victory over Dorsett/Smith. “Uly’s putter got hot as hell on the back nine,” Lankford said. “I made three birdies in a row late,” Grisette said. “I made a really long putt and that put us ahead.”They cherished the vic-tory of reaching back to another era and snatching the hardware from elite youngsters. Thanks to their incredible play, all golfers feel 20 years younger today. “We’ll probably be hit-ting it a few yards shorter next year, but we hope to be back to defend,” Lankford said. “At nearly 60 years old, you can still compete with young players,” Grisette said. “What other sport can you compete against young kids? Golf is the only one, and that’s the beauty of the game.” Jeffrey Lankford (left) and Uly Grisette (right) became the oldest winners in the history of the championship flight in the Labor Day tournament.

It was the first win for North’s new coach, Tabitha Elledge. Clark hit a triple to lead North’s 10-hit attack. It was an all-around strong effort as the Wildcats (1-2) played error-free defense and got two RBIs each from Peyton Presnell, Kinley Pasquet and Chloe McCune. Clark and Pasquet did the pitching. Ellis’ two Finley Sink has been a reliable playmaker for Ellis’ football team all season, but he took things to another level during a 20-14 road win over West Rowan on Sept. 6. “Finley had eight or nine tackles for loss and recov-ered two fumbles,” assistant coach Roger Blalock said. “I’ve known since fourth grade (at Shady Grove) he was going to be a beast. Clark leads rout hits came from Annabelle Wright and Lacie Tesnar. WR 7, ND 3One day later, the Wild-cats came back down to earth with a 7-3 home loss to West Rowan. Clark pitched better than the score suggests as she allowed just one earned run while walking none. West outhit North 11-3. Callaway Spillman, Clark and Presnell had the North hits. Pasquet had two walks. SD, Ellis SlumpsIt was a rough week for South Davie. In a span of three days, the Tigers lost 20-2 at home to Moores-ville, 23-2 at home to West Rowan and 13-4 at Selma Burke. The highlight came in the third against West, when Al-lie Cothren slugged a home run over the fence. A five-game losing streak dropped South’s record to 2-6. It was a similarly tough week for the Jaguars, who were shut out three times in as many days. Sandwiched around the North Davie game were 15-0 road losses to Erwin and Mooresville. Ellis entered the week at 2-4. They didn’t use him last year, but they had so much talent last year in the eighth grade. He will give you 100 percent every play - every single play - on offense (at fullback) and defense (at middle linebacker). He will hit somebody.”On Ellis’ first offensive play, Cannon Smith took a handoff and raced 65 yards to the end zone. The second time Ellis had the ball, Sink scored from 5 yards out to give the Jaguars a 14-0 advantage. The Bulldogs crossed the goal line as the first-half clock expired to cut Ellis’ lead to 14-6, but the Jaguars regained a 20-8 cushion when Brandon For-rest scored on a quarterback bootleg. One week after Moores-ville ended Ellis’ record-set-ting 16-game winning streak, the Jaguars improved to 2-1. Moor 32, SD 28Although South Davie fell short in a barnburner at Mooresville on Sept. 6, coach Germain Mayfield can take some comfort in knowing the Tigers are a few plays from being 4-0 instead of 2-2. One week earlier, they endured a tough 28-16 loss to Selma Burke. “It went back and forth,” Mayfield said. “We let an-other one get away.”Tyrone Speller made some electrifying runs while gaining 122 yards on six carries, including a pair of touchdowns. South got big contributions from Camdyn Holland (nine carries for 56 yards) and Draeton Nance (two rushing TDs, intercep- tion on defense). Right after the Red Imps had moved in front in the fourth quarter, Nance re-turned the kickoff 68 yards to put South back ahead. The only problem: There were still four minutes on the clock. South’s defense put Mooresville in a fourth-and-16 hole, but the Red Imps escaped that dark sit-uation and then rolled down the field, scoring the clinch-ing TD with 80 seconds remaining. “We did good the first three plays (of the last de-fensive series),” Mayfield said. “We pinned them back. But they threw a bomb (on fourth-and-16) and picked up 30. Then they drove it on us.”Selma 50, ND 20Even though North Da-vie soared to 3-0 out of the gate, coach Beau Byerly knew much stiffer tests loomed on the horizon. Sure enough, the Wildcats ran into a massive wall when they hosted Selma Burke on Sept. 6. After allowing just two points in the first three games, the Bears and their all-star running back handed North a brutal setback. • Sports Briefs • Sink stars for Ellis football at W. Rowan N.

DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Sept. 14, 2023 - B7 Continued From Page B1 They knocked the Fal-cons on their heels in the last 10 minutes, but Davie suffered unlucky bounces. “We never quit,” McBain said. “We pummeled the goal in the last few minutes. Isaiah Beaty had three good opportunities but came up short.“The game was a hard-fought loss and very bal-anced. Both teams played well. It could have gone either way.” The Davie cross country team made the first of sev-eral trips this fall to Kern-ersville’s Ivey Redmond Sports Complex on Sept. 8 for the annual Friday Nights Lights extravaganza. Over 100 schools and more than 3,000 athletes competed in 12 races, culminating with the championship race under the lights just before 10 p.m. A total of 25 Davie runners traversed the course, with many of them achieving personal best times.The Davie boys were among 40 schools in the In-vitational Division and came home with a 12th-place finish. Thomas Essic raced to a personal record time of 16:36 to knock 18 seconds off of his previous best time.

Notes: Davie’s varsity lost 2-0 at Alexander Central and 3-0 at Forbush. Davie remained winless at 0-5. Davie 3, SC 1The War Eagles resumed their memorable start by whipping Surry Central at home on Sept. 4. Beaty, Kevin Ramos and Longares knocked in the goals as Davie improved to 3-1. Regaldo, Devin Her-nandez and Stephens were “the stars for their defense and passing,” McBain said. Another dynamic player was Jaden Godbey, who controlled the midfield. The only negative: Davie could have won by a greater margin. “We had lots of missed opportunities to score,” he said. “We’ll need to go back to the drawing board. We had a couple out with the flu going around. Some stars sat the bench ill.”Notes: Davie’s varsity lost 4-3 to Surry Central. Freshman Santiago Ma-ganda and junior Alex Del Carmen staked Davie to a 2-1 halftime lead. Maganda put in his second goal in the second half. Justin Rayas had two assists, while Ra-fael Amaro had one. The Golden Eagles improved to 4-3-1. Davie’s offense came alive after scoring one goal in the first five games. ... In the CPC opener, Davie hung tough in the first half but ultimately lost 4-0 at Reynolds on Sept. 6. The Demons scored three times in the second half to lift their record to 5-2-2 overall. Davie sank to 0-7. Essic 7th out of over 3,000 cross country runners Records ... seventh place in a field of well over 300 competitors. Ethan Lakey was close behind in 11th place with a time of 16:54. Teammate Tyler Hill claimed 23rd in 17:16. Rounding out the scoring for the War Eagles were Brayden Kistner in 157th (19:04) and Will Al-lard in 218th (19:46). Also competing in the varsity race were Jacob Steelman (20:04), Jackson Sulecki (20:05) and Chris Devicente (21:35).•••The Invitational girls varsity race featured three Davie athletes. Gracie Spicer led the way with a 98th place finish and a time of 22:48. Lexi Marion fol-lowed in 23:37 and Emilia Marks crossed the line in 24:43. With only three run-ners in the race, Davie did not register a team score.•••The boys JV races were divided into two sections. The senior/junior race fea-tured three War Eagle har-riers. Aric Boles knocked nearly a minute off of his previous best time and claimed fifth place in the huge field with a time of 18:34. Slade Keaton was next across the line in 22:40, while Jake Hannah rounded out the Davie effort in 25:11. Clara Phelps was the lone Davie runner in the combined girls JV race as she clocked a time of 26:52.•••Several Davie runners competed in the sopho-more/freshman JV race. Jackson Shook led the way with a time of 20:58. He was followed by teammates Ty Greene (22:41), Jack Bost (23:38), Patrick Brady (25:11) and Caswell Moore (25:40). •••The high school portion of the meet began with a two-mile coed developmen-tal race, which featured five members of the Davie girls’ team. Bridget Wood made her cross country debut af-ter only a week of practice and was the first War Eagle across the line in 19:27. She was followed by Abby Lane (21:40), Alexa Villa (22:11), Hayden Smith (22:39) and Maggie Smith (23:26).Also of note, the meet started with a middle school two-mile race. Ellis, under the guidance of coach Erica Bost, was represented by five runners. Leading the way was seventh grader Kristen Starkey, who placed 17th in 13:34. Mia Wyatt was next in 15:24 as she edged out teammate Reece Rye (15:32). Emma Mallory was next in 18:43 and was followed closely by Berkley Brown (18:44).“It was a pretty good night for us,” said Davie coach Rob Raisbeck. “We still have some guys out of the lineup that we hope to get back soon. And we purposely raced Aric in the JV race to give him some confidence. If he runs the varsity race we would have finished in sixth place. We actually were in first place through our first three finish-ers. We just need to continue developing depth.“Out of our 20 runners who competed at the 5k distance, 17 of them ran considerably faster than our opener two weeks ago and this is a slightly slow-er course,” said Raisbeck. “Many of our runners were 1-3 minutes faster than at the Providence meet. That kind of improvement is what we love the see at this point in the season. It was also good to see the Ellis team out there. Coach Bost is doing a great job with that program. They have several girls who will hopefully join our pro-gram in the next two years, and we have been watching their progress.”Next up for the Davie team is a return to Char-lotte’s McAlpine Park on Sept. 23 for the Hare and Hounds Invitational. Over 100 schools from four states are scheduled to compete in that event. After seeing no action in the backfield in Wake Forest’s first game of the season against Elon, Tate Carney made a resounding running-back debut in Sat-urday’s 36-20 home win over Vanderbilt. A redshirt freshman who saw a little action on special teams in 2022, Carney went off for 117 yards on 13 carries, including a touchdown and a 74-yard run in which he broke two tackles. The Dea-cons are 2-0. Carney runs for 117 (336) 751-2304 MILLEREQUIPMENTRENTAL FALL IS COMING!

Cana/Pino I was saddened to learn that two of my former classmates at the old Cana School have died: George Woodward and his sister, Louise. I believe that the Woodwards were about the only people left beside me who attended that school, which closed in the spring of 1941. I am sure that George attended because I sat in front of him even though he was in a grade ahead of me. Louise may have gone to school at Holmon’s Cross Roads, but I believe that she also attended Cana. If there is anyone else living who at-tended Cana School, please let me know. I am sad all over again every time I lose a Cana School Classmate.The last year it was in operation, Cana School had students in grade 1-6. There were 16 students and one teacher. I don’t know how one teacher, who by the way was my mother, Lola So-fley Etchison, was able to cover all of the subjects for students in six grades. She managed to do that because when students from Cana went to other schools they were not behind in any way and often were the top stu-dents in their new schools.Cana School was a prim-itive place. There was no electricity, so there was no artificial light, no bath-rooms, no water, and no steam heat. The lack of electric lights presented a problem on dark, rainy days because it was really hard to see to read in that west classroom. The big boys carried water from the house across the road so that solved the lack of wa-ter problem. The students drank the water from paper cups that they fashioned out of notebook paper.There were two outhous-es, one for girls, one for boys. I guess the outhouses worked pretty well because students certainly did not want to loiter there. In the winter, it was so cold, one was anxious to get out in a hurry, and, in the sum-mer, the outhouse smelled so hard that one wanted to make a hasty exit. So much for outhouses, but I add that in-door bathrooms are a blessing. Just ask anyone who had to use an outhouse if you can find such a per-son. Most of the people who are living today were born after electricity arrived in the area in 1939 so they did not get to experience out-houses, etc.The Cana School was heated with a stove that sat in the middle of the room. A long stove pipe went from the stove to a chim-ney which was in the corner of the room. Occasional-ly some of the boys would get bored and shake the stove pipe which would fall scattering soot all over the room. The teacher would have to dismiss school so she could clean up the mess because the teacher was the janitor as well. Of course, getting school dismissed was the goal of the boys.There was one more chore which was assigned to the teacher. The employees of the County Board of Edu-cation brought big chunks of wood and dumped them at the school. The teacher had to chop the wood into pieces small enough to go into the stove in the classroom. The Davie County School Board would not give the teacher an ax to chop the wood be-cause they said she might let the students dull it. So, the teacher had to provide her own ax.
