It uses a model from the Harry Potter series designed to make every student feel valued and moti-vated to learn and behave.Earlier this month, North Lynn Turner, North Davie Middle instructional coach, welcomes the newest sixth grader into the Sollevare House, part of a positive behavior program instituted in all Davie middle schools - Photo by Mike BarnhardtHouse rules In Davie middle schools, it’s a place to feel valued Davie Middle School students got together for a kickoff, and the names of each sixth grade student was read as they were assigned to their “house.” It was a raucous time with lots of yelling, flashing lights and loud music.“The goal of the House Sys-tem is to promote a sense of belonging, camaraderie, and healthy competition among students,” said North Davie principal, Bryant Copeland. “It helps ceate a supportive and inclusive environment where every student feels valued and motivated to succeed.” Each of the six houses rep-resents a specific trait or value, such as unity, passion, uplift-ing, friendship, respect and courage.It works like this: each stu-dent accumulates points based on their academic perfor-mance, behavior and partici-pation in school activities, and their points contribute to their house’s overall score.Each week or month, and at the end of each quarter, the house that earns the most points is celebrated with re-wards, such as special privi-leges or field trips. Copeland, who donned striped pants, a top hat and long coat to emcee the house kickoff, says the program works.“The House System fosters teamwork and collaboration, as students work together with their housemates to achieve shared goals. It also encourag-es positive behavior and char-acter development, as students strive to uphold their house’s core values,” Copeland said.The system aims to enhance student engagement, foster a Please See House - Page 4 By Jim BuiceEnterprise Record BERMUDA RUN - Be-tween exploring more details involving projects such as the Blue Heron Trail and wrap-ping up final revisions on the Comprehensive Plan while sifting through questions from the Town Hall special called meeting last month, these are busy times in here.“There’s an awful lot going on in the town,” said May-or Pro Tem Mike Ernst, who ran last Tuesday night’s town council meeting that included several updates from Town Manager Andrew Meadwell.In his report, Meadwell mentioned that one of the items on the growing list in-cluded the “interconnection” of the Blue Heron Trail – this coming only a couple of months after the ribbon cutting and official opening of Phase I of that project.When asked later what ex-actly that word meant, Mead-well clarified: “This is an effort to open the Bahnson pedestri-an bridge that crosses I-40. This segment is a continuation of the Blue Heron Trail.”Meadwell added he knows that’s one of the things that has been a priority for Mayor Rick Cross, who was out of town. Cross has gone on record as saying the first phase of the Blue Heron Trail is a key part of a long-term goal of having a fully connected community.“We had our engineer, John Grey, to go out and map,” Meadwell said. “There’s a lot of different property owners in that area through there, lots of Traffic.It’s an issue every year at Davie High School, especially at the beginning and ending of the school day.While the princi-pal, Michael Pruitt, doesn’t personally see or experience the traffic in the mornings, he said that he believes the traffic has gotten better. “It’s always chaotic the first few weeks,” he said. Students who come in late usually aren’t late because of traffic. While he sees solutions such as re- or Pudding Ridge Road if going to the western side of the county. Farmington Road to NC 801 could lead students in either direction.Pruitt has also petitioned for a new traffic lights. The original plans for the school included more student parking spaces.He also wishes there was a second entrance to the student parking lot so students and coaches could come back to the school in a timely manner for after-school events. Pruitt understands the frustration that traffic causes, and asks for patience and understanding. After all, there’s 1,000 people trying to get out of that parking lot by 4 every weekday afternoon.Kat Woodruff-Carter is a senior at Davie County High School and an intern at the Davie County Enterprise Record. quiring all students to turn left out of the lot, he doesn’t want to cause more traffic on Pinebrook School Road. He also doesn’t want parents to be frustrated with their child being forced to turn left.If a student were to turn right out of the lot, it would stop traffic for six sec-onds. At first, it doesn’t sound too bad, but there's 600 vehicles in the lot. It will quickly add up. Another consideration is letting parents in the rider line who turn left from the school to exit through the bus lot. That, he said, would bring too much danger to students getting on buses. Mr. Pruitt said it would help the traf-fic issues if the car rider line took full advantage of the space provided; and if more students choose to turn left.

Tell us what you think The Literary Corner: Renegade Writer’s Guild Eugene Fuller HartleyBy Linda H. BarnetteWhen my original oncologist dismissed me in 2017, she told me to continue my work in genealogy because “You might find out that you are related to Queen Eiza-beth.” That, of course, was not my goal, but over the years in my research, I have discovered several interesting char-acters in my family lines.One such individual is Eugene Fuller Hartley, one of my Grandfather Hartley’s uncles, who was born in the Horseshoe Neck section of Davidson County in 1876, one of the 7 children of H. H. Hartley and Ellen Davis Hartley, his second wife. While I don’t know anything about his early education, I did find him and some of his brothers listed as boarding students at Yadkin College, a very early institution of higher learning in the small village of Yadkin College right across the river off Hwy 64, which is a story for another day.From Yadkin College he went on to Chapel Hill where he obviously got a degree in economics and mathematics. After university, he married Celeste Boykin of Hickory, NC. They lived in New York City in the early 1900’s and had one son Boykin, who became the vice-president of American Railway. Boykin married and had at least one child.In any case, according to his obituary in the Lexington Dispatch of December 6, 1961, Fuller Hartley retired as the executive secretary of IBM and was their chief stat-istician. He was also the head of the US Census Bureau and the author of several books, including one called the “Fourteenth Census of the United States.”However, what drew me to his life was his abiding in-terest in his family, his hometown, and the people of Da-vidson County. Even after being gone for 50 years, he still maintained membership in the Davidson County Histor-ical Association. His obituary says that he had mailed a check for his dues shortly before his death.He is buried in Pungoteague, Accomack, Virginia at St. George’s Episcopal Church there along with his wife. Mr. Watson, the president of IBM, attended his funeral.This story makes me think that my Daddy might have inherited his aptitude for numbers from his great-uncle!! Thank goodness that he could help with my math home-work!! StabbedBy Stephanie Williams DeanIn elementary school, I was stabbed by a student with a pencil. The ¼-inch round, purple lead mark that remains on my left wrist today testifies to the wound. I was warned. Cecilia went to the front of the class to sharpen her pencil. She drew back her hand and lowered the sharpened lead down in the direction of my face. I lifted my arms to protect my face - a well-established de-fense posture.She had asked to see the answers on my paper. When I didn’t allow her to do so, Cecilia told me she was going to stab me with her pencil. I watched as she walked to the front of the classroom to sharpen her pencil. She returned with a long, very sharp, pointed lead tip – and smug smile.At first, I didn't believe she stabbed me. But when I said it didn't hurt, she responded, "Oh yeah, then why is my pencil broken?” Then, I saw a piece of bro-ken lead sticking out of my wrist and felt the pain. I began to cry. Lucky for me, she missed a few important tendons, nerves, and vessels. Afterward, she was reprimanded by the teacher – and that was it. The incident wasn’t referred to as an “assault.” There was no student arrest or criminal charge filed. Cecilia didn't get suspended, expelled, or taken to juvenile court. I didn't receive any victim impact or trauma counseling. My parents didn't press charges, sue anyone, or demand to come to the school to speak with the principal. In fact, I told my parents – they never even received a call from the school.Thank goodness we know better, today. Young Lives at StakeBy: E. BishopBack in ancient times when I was in high school, I was allowed to be a school bus driver for Cooleemee Elemen-tary. Thinking back on that, it sounds crazy. What a big responsibility that was for my age! I would never even think about doing that now, especially with all the crazy things that are being reported lately. There are so many safety issues and dangerous behaviors, not only from stu-dents themselves, but the general population of drivers. Maybe some reminders are in order for the beginning of this new school year.When I drove that bus in my senior year, I can plainly remember the place a driver ignored the RED stop sign that was extended at a bus stop. It was reported but noth-ing was done about it. I just wonder how many times this type of thing happens currently. According to NC Depart-ment of Public Instruction, each day 3,000 vehicles ille-gally pass a stopped school bus in North Carolina putting our children’s lives in danger. Last year, nearly 1,300 drivers in the state went to court for passing a stopped bus. So, quite a few drivers got away with it! There is a man-datory minimum $500.00 fine with five points on driver’s license for not stopping (a misdemeanor). And, if driver passes the extended stop sign and hits someone, they face a minimum of $1,000.00 with a Class 1 Felony. Is this enough of a deterrent?According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, riding a bus to school is 13 times safer than riding in a passenger vehicle and 10 times safer than walking to school. However, children need to be taught and often reminded the rules of keeping themselves safe. And adults need to remember that children are unpredict-able. When they are walking to and from their bus, they are usually very comfortable with their surroundings and may take risks, ignore hazards or fail to look both ways. Drivers should stop their cars far enough from the bus to allow children the necessary space to safely enter and exit the bus. The students should be taught the proper way to get on/off the bus - line up 6 feet away from the curb as bus approaches, wait for driver to signal you to board, buckle up if seatbelts are available, wait for bus to completely stop, and if the student must cross the road, student should walk at least ten feet in front of the bus. Be aware that ten feet all the way around the school bus is called the Dan-ger Zone. Students should always check that traffic has stopped and their route is clear before crossing. School bus drivers are in short supply all across the state; Davie County had six openings at the beginning of the school year. Hope they have found more drivers so they get all the students to school on time. We all have to be patient as they hire and train new drivers for all the challenges they will face. A disturbing fact I have read and hope it is not true is that K-12 students can be let off the bus without a parent or guardian being present. For older students, this may not be a problem but, for the elementary aged, it could be. In the case of waiting on the bus to arrive for pick up/drop off, parents should probably try the app “Here Comes the Bus” to track their children’s bus (check to see if your bus has that option). Or is it possible to get bar codes to scan (or Air Tags) that will let parents know where their chil-dren are at all times? Sounds extreme, but is it?As adults, the safety of unpredictable children, whether getting on/off the school bus or anywhere else, is still in our hands. A little patience and common sense are all that is needed. Do not pass that stopped school bus with a red arm extended; know the rules. White House Weddings By Betty Etchison WestFor the Enterprise It had been 32 years since there had been a White House wedding when Lynda Bird Johnson, the daughter of President Lyndon Baines Johnson and Mrs. Lady Bird John-son, and Charles Spittal Robb were married in the White House East Room on Dec. 9, 1967. The last White House wedding had been that of Harry Hopkins, an advisor to President Franklin Del-ano Roosevelt, and Lou-ise Gill Macy, which took place in the Oval Yellow Room on July 30, 1942.Lynda Bird was not the first daughter of President and Mrs. Johnson to get married. Her sister, Luci Baines Johnson, the John-son’s younger daughter, got married the year before. She had converted to Ca-tholicism and was married in the church attended by the groom, Patrick John Nugent. Luci was the first presi-dential daughter to be mar-ried in a church, the first to be married in a Catho-lic ceremony, and the first bride to be married in the National Shrine of the Im-maculate Conception, the largest Catholic Church in the United States. Even though the bride did not choose to get married in the White House, a huge recep-tion was held at the White House after the wedding ceremony in the church.There was much activity at the White House as the staff prepared for the 700 guests who would arrive for the reception after the Johnson/Nugent wedding ceremony. Among those guests would be special guest, Alice Roosevelt Longworth, who had gotten married in the White House sixty years earlier.Marie Smith and Lou-ise Durbin in their book, “White House Wedding” describe some of the dec-orations for the receptions: “A canopy was put up over the Jacqueline Kennedy Garden where the guests would wait before they would move to the Blue Room to meet the bride and groom. The long cor-ridor through which the guests walked to the Blue Room was lined with green buckets of white petunias and pink geraniums. The gold chandelier in the State Dining room was used as a holder from which greens and flowers cascaded. Compotes of yellow, white, blue, and orange flowers decorated the buffet table in the State Dining Room. “After the cake cutting with a sword-like knife and dancing to the Peter Duchin’s Orchestra, the bride and groom went up-stairs, changed into travel-ing clothes, and departed for a honeymoon.In the fall of the next year, 1967, the Johnson family was preparing for another wedding. Lynda Bird, who the President described as being much more like her mother than she was like him because she was studious and am-bitious, got engaged to Ma-rine Captain Charles Robb. Lynda Bird had met Captain Robb while he was serving at a social aide at the White House. Of all the officers who served as White House aides, Captain Robb was the one who caught the eye of the President’s daughter. More importantly, he be-came her finance.Robb was to be deployed to Vietnam in early 1968. The young couple wanted to get married before he left so the Dece. 9, 1967 date was set. The wedding was held in the East Room with the Right Rev. Gerald Nich-olas McAllister performing the ceremony. There were 650 guests at the ceremony.Lynda Bird looked beautiful as she entered the room on the arm of her father, President Lyndon Baines Johnson. She wore a dress designed by Geof-frey Beene. It was a high-necked dress with long sleeves made of silk satin. It was not adorned with any lace, but attached mid-back was a gathered long train. Her veil was long and fluffy. Lynda Bird carried a small bouquet of white flowers. She had eight bridesmaids, who wore red a tribute to the season.After the ceremony, the guests were asked to leave the East Room for a bit. The family went upstairs to the family Oval Yellow Room to have pictures made. The guests were then invited back into the East Room for cocktails, a buffet, a cake cutting, and a dance. That was the first time the East Room had been converted from the See Wedding ‑ Page 13 Johnson wedding a huge affair Watching the Country Music Association awards show reminded me of why I pretty much quit listening to what folks from Nashville call country music.Country music ain’t country music no more.I barely made it past the pitiful rendition of Charlie Daniel’s “Long Haired Country Boy.” Charlie Daniels sang real country music when he wrote that one. It was his right to change his original lyrics, but seeing others do the same is just wrong. It wasn’t a hit because he told a joke or had a cup of coffee.What I find interesting is that country music artists are usually the first to criticize their own genre.Take this one, called “Trashville,” from Hank Williams III (Yes, Bocephus’ son and the real Hank’s grandson.): Well, I used to think that countryWas out of Nashville TennesseeBut all I see in Nashville,Is a bunch of backstabbers takin’ you and meThey don’t care about the music ya seeSticking with the Hank Williams theme, how about this one from Waylon Jennings, “Are You Sure Hank Done It This Away,” who along with his co-horts back in the day, turned Nashville upside down and iinside out. Lord it’s the same old tune, fiddle and guitarWhere do we take it from here?Rhinestone suits and new shiny carsIt’s been the same way for yearsWe need a change.And this one from the great George Jones, whose shoes will never be filled.Who’s gonna fill their shoes?Who’s gonna stand that tall?Who’s gonna play the OpryAnd the Wabash Cannonball?Who’s gonna give their heart and soulTo get to me and you?Lord I wonder, who’s gonna fill their shoes?As long as there are still folks in the Nashville music scene willing to step out of the box, country music has a chance.After all, it ain’t that difficult.Willie Nelson wrote: “Three chords and the truth. That’s what a country song is.”Willie’s right. Country music should be made for the sake of country music, not decided on by someone count-ing the dollars. If the song is good, the money will come. Whether Nashville approves or not.Just ask Willie.- Mike Barnhardt Has country lost its soul? DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Sept. 21, 2023 - 3 By Marcia PhillipsHistorian, DavieCounty Public Library Is Ney a Nay?In the summer of 2022, a French film crew came to this area to exhume the body of Peter Stuart Ney in an attempt to determine from DNA whether the Mocksville school teacher and mystery man was who he claimed to be, Napo-leon’s cavalry leader. We observed the grave being emptied – of almost nothing but highly acidic soil – and the examination of a textbook in the hold-ings of the Martin-Wall History Room at the Da-vie County Public Library in which the teacher had written many marginal notes and even drew a self portrait. In the end, it was his wooden flute at Davidson College that yielded DNA most likely to be his. This week we received an email with a summary of their findings. The forensic scientist came to the conclusion that the DNA was not that of Marshal Michel Ney of France, based upon the following facts it told about the flute player: he probably had light hair, not red; he came from a genetic pool of northern Europe; he had brown eyes, not blue; he had “intermediary” white skin, not pale. They further challenged his use of the French language and handwriting as a match. The questions this rais-es includes if or why they did not compare the DNA with the sample from the descendant of his sister in their possession. Also, can it be proven the DNA from the flute could not be anyone else’s? Regardless, this might have been the last good chance for a definitive answer and the solution to the mystery becomes unknowable.If you would like to see the textbook and other re-sources, examine the facts for yourself and join the debate– a special display will be in the Martin-Wall History Room through September on Monday and Thursday afternoons and Tuesday mornings. •If you would like to see a real mystery, the Davie Historical and Genealog-ical Society rescheduled the site visit to the unique mill operated by a circa 1930 Oldsmobile to Sept. 28, meeting in the library parking lot at 5:45 or get directions from the History Room or Society website. All are invited. This self portrait of Peter Stuart Ney, and his textbook at right, are in the Martin-Wall History Room at the Davie County Public Library. Is Davie’s Ney France’s Nay?

These houses give students the opportunity to connect with students across classes and grades that they may not normally have a chance to interact with,” said Karen Jarvis, Davie Schools communica-tions director. “This helps students gain more friend-ships and create a family-like culture at each school.” The display wall at the entrance to North Davie Middle School says it all.

The mayor is committed to turn-ing this around as quickly as we can and then get them back to council for a final look through.”• The Planning Board also will meet this month to look at the Comprehensive Plan amendments from the Aug. 22 meeting.“We want to get that to the Planning Board to look at and approve those revi-sions and then to council for approval,” Brannon said. “We want to get it fixed and everything to be correct.”Brannon added that much thought has been giv-en to addressing future land use, including an example brought up in that meeting.“We’ve been work-ing through what the town would look like if it was a blank slate and what we have today as far as what has been developed,” he said, “and how we think about what we want to do if we could bring those two constructs together – what we would like the town to look like if we had no limi-tations, what are we con-strained by today, and what are the levers and opportu-nities to look at our future land use and zoning to po-tentially impact changes to those things to influence the trajectory going forward.”Brannon said that “a more robust update” will be provided in the agenda meeting on Sept. 26 on the information that has been gathered.Also in last Tuesday night’s meeting, the council:• Heard a presentation from Robert McMath, who is the Davie County NC-DOT maintenance engineer and gave an overview on the functions, services and responsibilities of his divi-sion. McMath added that the dedicated right-turn lane from NC 801 onto US 158 should be completed this month.• Heard from Meadwell that the Juniper Pump Sta-tion is nearing completion.• Heard from Kinder-ton Village resident Cathie Ring on her continuing safety concerns regarding on-street parking. She noted a couple of inoperative ve-hicles that have been parked on town roads with expired license tags dating back four and five years respectively and are in violation of N.C. laws. “I was told by the HOA that they can only ask but can’t enforce,” she said, “so I’m looking to the town to find a resolution.” With the upcoming 2023 town elections, the Davie Board of Elections is host-ing a public voter ID ques-tion and answer session on Tuesday, Sept. 26 from 5:30-7 p.m..Also, the Voter Photo ID printer will be available to print Voter IDs for those who may need one.“We encourage everyone to stop by our office dur-ing these extended hours to ask any questions they may have about Voter Photo ID,” said Melissa Parker, elec-tions director.

Notice is hereby given that the Town of Mocksville Board of Commissioners will hold a public hearing on the System Development Fees for Fiscal Year 2024 during a Regular Meeting on Tuesday, Octo- ber 3, 2023 at 6:00 p.m. The meeting will be held at Mocksville Town Hall, 171 Clement Street, Mocks- ville, NC. 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. This includes new homes, busi- nesses and industrial buildings as well as new wa- ter and sewer lines extensions that serve an existing structure. Raftelis has completed an evaluation to develop cost-justified water and sewer system de- velopment fees for FY2024 for consideration by the Town of Mocksville (“Town”). The report documents the results of the analysis, which was based on an approach for establishing system development fees set forth in North Carolina General Statute 162A Ar- ticle 8 – “System Development Fees.” The report will be posted on our website for public comment from 08-17-23 – 10-01-23. 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.

By Jeanna Baxter WhiteWord Master Media Group We are at a pivotal mo-ment in the fight against polio, and you have the chance to be a part of his-tory.Only once in the history of our world has a disease been completely wiped out: smallpox in 1980. Today, polio stands on the brink of eradication, and it could happen with-in the next year with your help.Rotary clubs worldwide are uniting to raise funds for the final push to eradi-cate polio once and for all. On Friday, Sept. 22, The Help write history Friday’s Mockfest to support final push to eradicate polio Mocksville Rotary Club will host Mockfest in the parking lot beside Swice-good Auction in Down-town Mocksville. A concert featuring Mel Jones & His Bag of Bones, as well as Fairfield Blue-grass, starts at 5 p.m. Food will be available for pur-chase from the Rotary tent. Additional food vendors on-site will contribute to the cause. Collection buckets will be passed around during the free concert to raise funds for End Polio Now. Polio was once one of the most dreaded diseases in the United States. Thanks to vaccination efforts, the polio virus has been elimi-nated in this country. How-ever, there was a time when polio affected the lives of many individuals in Davie County.One such individual is Rebecca Osbourne, a long-time resident of the Cool-eemee area, wife to Edgar, and mother of Britt, who owns Osborne Tire & Au-tomotive in Mocksville. What you may not know about Rebecca is that she contracted polio in 1948 when she was 11 months old.Polio robbed Rebecca of her ability to walk until she was 4 years old, and even then, she had to wear heavy braces and special shoes.She vividly remembers her childhood visits to physical therapy twice a week, where she would be lowered into a whirlpool to stimulate circulation in her partially paralyzed legs. At home, her parents and siblings worked tire-lessly with her, encourag-ing her to get out and play despite her ongoing pain and fatigue so she could function as she grew older. Unfortunately, there is no cure for polio once it takes hold in the body. To this day, Rebecca continues to battle the effects of the disease, including asthma, bronchitis, and immune system issues caused by the virus, which attacks nerves throughout the body. She attributes her suc-cess in managing the symp-toms of polio to her unwav-ering faith, the power of prayers, and her determina- Rotarian and Lagos State immunization officer Bola Orefejo (right) vaccinates a child against polio at Ikosi Health Center in Lagos, Nigeria.ealth workers at a polio-vaccine transit post in Antock, Punjab, Pa- kistan. tion in physical therapy.Since 1988, there has been a worldwide reduction in polio cases of 99.9%. Only two countries remain polio-endemic: Afghani-stan and Pakistan. But it’s crucial to continue work-ing to keep other countries polio-free. If all eradication efforts stopped today, with- in 10 years, polio could par-alyze as many as 200,000 children each year. As long as poliovirus continues cir-culating, all countries are at risk.Between the two musical performances, Roy Collette will speak. Roy, the son of Judy and Bill Collette, re-sides in Greensboro. Many remember Bill's downtown Mocksville pharmacy back in the 1950s. Although Bill has passed away, he faced the effects of the polio virus head-on to become a suc-cessful small business own-er. He was also a passionate advocate for and contribu-tor to the development of the ballfields at Rich Park. Roy will speak on behalf of his family and father, urging everyone to support the eradication of polio. The concert will con-clude at 7:30 p.m., allowing ample time to make it to the Davie High football game.A $3 donation can fully protect a child against po-lio. Roy Collette (back, right) will speak about how polio affected his family. Antiques and Collectibles 121 N. MAIN ST.MOCKSVILLE, NC 27028 336-753-8700 Hours: Wed, Thurs, & Fri 11-6, Sat 10-4 BIG SALE!

After enjoying their meal, the bride and groom cut the wedding cake, and, then, danced the first dances with mu-sic provided by the Peter Duchin orchestra before disappearing. They went once again to the fam-ily quarters where they changed into their travel-ing clothes. Lynda Bird and Chrles flew away to their honeymoon destina-tion in a helicopter. President Johnson wanted to be sure that the American people knew that no taxpayer money was being spent on the weddings of his daughters so he issued a statement. He said that he might have to take out a loan to pay for his daughters’ wed-dings but no taxpayers money was spent. The loan part was probably a joke because the family was wealthy as the result of owning communica-tion facilities. In fact, the first station was inherit-ed by Mrs. Johnson, and she managed it well from that point on. Mr. John-son said, “You know my wife is the only one in the family who has ever met a payroll. ‘Captain Robb actually served two tours of duty in Vietnam. He commanded a rifle company in com-bat and received a Bronze Star. After Charles Robb was discharged from the United States Marine Corp, he went to the Uni-versity of Virginia from which he received his law degree. He was elected the Lieutenant Governor of Virginia in 1977 and then Governor of Virginia in 1981. Robb later served two terms, from 1989 un-til 2001, as a United States Senator. After leaving the Senate in 2001, he joined the George Mason Uni-versity faculty. His wife, Lynda Bird Johnson Robb, has been on the National Board of Reading is Fun-damental and she has been a contributing editor to the “Ladies Home Journal.” Tragedy struck the Robb family when their home in Virginia was de-stroyed by fire in 2021.

According to the Fairfax County property records, the value of the house, which overlooked the Potomac River, was 3.4 million dollars.

Part of the story includes holiday traditions and the passing on of old, treasured family recipes. That’s how Betty Marklin tells it. “We’re just down-to-earth people, we love fam-ily and family time at our table – and want to pass it on.” Betty has a culinary his-tory that has come down through generations – many recipes passed to Betty from her mother, Lillie. In turn, Betty passed them on to her children.That’s how Betty defines southern cooking – it’s the Betty Marklin takes a break from cooking and gets outdoors with husband, Johnny. Her family’s favorite, Betty’s Peach Cob- bler recipe, also can be used to make a pie. kind of cooking she does for family using old recipes from mothers and grandmothers. They’re the ones her children and grandchildren love. She knows just what her family loves most – like homemade mac and cheese and peach cobbler with homemade pie crust that her mother taught her to make. And like Betty – the recipes are down to earth. She uses what comes from the ground and garden – what-ever’s in season. Betty proudly claims to be a “southern” cook, and she’s earned the right – having lived and moved only the short distance from Redland Road to Mocksville over her life-time. “That’s as far away as I’ve gone, except for nursing school in Statesville,” she shared. By any standard, that would qualify as 100% Southern. Betty’s no stranger to joy – She finds peace in her kitch-en knowing that her family’s going to get a good, well-balanced meal. Eating well means eating good nutritional foods – at least one green vegetable and meat with bread and a serving of a delicious des-sert. Betty enjoys preparing foods the family loves most – her fried chicken, mac and cheese, meat-loaf, and fresh green beans or peas. She always cooked three hot meals a day until her children were grown. Joy is derived through prepara-tion – especially when Betty has plenty of time to devote to it. To this day, she makes lunch every day for two of her children, Will and Melissa, and her husband, Johnny. In between work hours, each has 20 minutes to eat – and they take turns. But that time is special as they get to see each other every day. Good cooks know what they need to keep on hand. There are a few items Betty keeps stocked in her fridge. For one – milk. And Johnny drinks a Dr. Pepper each day. She keeps plenty of lettuce on hand for Melissa who enjoys salad. Her biggest challenge is getting every-thing done in time for lunch – and making sure she hasn’t run out of anything. There’s no time for an impromptu grocery run.“I don’t always get a pie made but we have fresh peach-es.” She and Melissa buy a bushel of peaches and split them – Betty freezes hers so they can enjoy peach pies throughout the year. The Marklin family grew up with Sunday dinners every week. But now the children are grown, have married, and the grandkids are scattered. Yet still, the entire family, in-cluding daughter, Jeanie, gets together at least one Sunday a month. On Sunday, Betty gets a crockpot going while they’re at church. Most of the meal is prepared on Satur-day, but mac and cheese has to be prepared on the same day it’s going to be eaten.It was Betty’s mom, Lillie, who influenced her cooking. Her mama didn’t work publicly, but her daddy worked for Hanes knitting. Often, there’d be a pot of pintos on the stove with some cornbread when her daddy returned home from work. A typical supper menu might be chicken with vegetables, homemade light rolls, and a homemade des-sert – and oh, biscuits and Karo syrup. Supper was always ready and on the table.Raised in the era when mothers taught their children to cook, Betty’s mother taught her. “She showed me how to make coconut cake, biscuits, light rolls, and pie crusts. I’d have the kitchen all to myself.” Pie is the one south-ern dessert that Betty associates with home when growing up. Her family made jellies, canned green beans, and froze corn. “We’d make fruit cakes at Christmas and soak them in grape juice. Then at Christmas time, we’d cut the cakes.” For a while, the family had their own cow, named Daffy. The calf grew up, and Betty’s daddy would milk her every morning and night. “Mama would let the cream rise to the top, and we’d skim it off and make butter – all that has stuck with me – there wasn't enough milk for a churn, so we’d put it in a jar and take turns shaking it to get the sour milk out of it.”Like other families, when it comes to eating, the Marklin family has traditions. Take something special like cheese-cake, for instance – New York style with cherry pie fill-ing on top. Betty’s children choose their birthday cake, but usually, it’s not a traditional one. The cake most often re-quested is cheesecake – with a candle in the center. The family celebrates Christmas Eve at Betty and Johnny’s home with a breakfast casserole, pancakes, and biscuits. They open gifts – and afterward, everyone goes home to wait for Santa Claus. On Christmas Day, Betty and Johnny’s meals are enjoyed at the homes of their three children. True happiness is found in gathering at the dining table – Betty feels it brings her family together. “When the grand-babies were tiny and tired, I would put them to sleep and then come out and finish my meal – and our family would eat and chat.” Today, not much has changed except after eating, the grands go and play while the adults sit and talk for a couple of hours. “It's how you work things out and keep up with things going on – it’s such a special time. Cooking for your fam-ily brings you together. And if you cook something all your family loves – it’s a good idea to keep it on hand.” With such a strong legacy of family togetherness, Betty relishes the old and new memories her family is making.

BEST FLOORING PROVIDER www.ourdavie.com/contests/readerschoice23 DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Sept. 21, 2023 - B1Sports By Brian PittsDavie Enterprise Record Tate Carney’s first action at running back in a Wake Forest uni-form was everything the redshirt freshman from Davie County had hoped for and more. In 2022, Carney got some playing time on special teams, but not enough to keep him from redshirting. He didn’t touch the ball in the 2023 opener against Elon. But as the Demon Deacons prepared to host Vanderbilt on Sept. 9, Carney rose from third to second on the depth chart because Justice Ellison was sidelined by concussion protocol. Carney did an amazing job filling in. He carried 13 times for 117 yards, including his first touchdown since piling up a Da-vie-record 79 from 2018-21. His backfield debut also included an electrifying 74-yard scamper as Wake handled Vanderbilt 36-20 to push its record to 2-0. No one was prouder than big brother Cade Carney, who played running back at Wake from 2016-19. Cade ran for nearly 2,500 yards and scored 21 TDs in his career in the black and gold. “He is six years younger than me, but he was at every practice, every game and just was so into what I was doing when I played,” Cade told the Winston-Salem Jour-nal. “And to now see him doing the same things means a lot to me and our family. It was so great to see how good he played.”Tate’s big day earned him an in- vitation as one of two player guests on The Dave Clawson Show. The show is held each Wednesday from 7-8 p.m. at The Playground Golf and Sports Bar in Clemmons. The host is Davie County’s Stan Cotten, the longtime play-by-play man for Wake football/basketball. Here’s the conversation between Cotten and Carney that aired on the Wake radio network. Cotten: “Tate, you’ve got all of Davie County here. What did it feel like to finally get your hands on the ball? You played a little bit last year on some special teams, but you came here to run the ball and you got your chance.”Carney: “It was really amazing. I was definitely jumpy at first, but Carney makes a splash in running back debut Please See Carney - Page B3 Above, freshman Gabriel Bello of the Davie High War Eagle soccer teams plays tough defense against East Forsyth.

Read about the teams and see more photos on page B4. - Photos by Marnic Lewis By Brian PittsEnterprise Record In Friday’s Central Piedmont Conference opener at Reynolds, Davie’s football team demolished an inferior opponent it was expect-ed to flatten. Now comes four big tests in four weeks: East Forsyth, Reagan, Mt. Tabor, West Forsyth. In the final tune-up before the four-week gauntlet, Davie’s offense scored on lightning-quick possessions, the defense teed off on the Demons’ air-raid offense and a running clock shortened the game to two hours, five minutes as Davie waltzed 47-3. “We had some lackluster days at practice and I challenged them from Thursday on that if we’re going to compete in every game that we need to change our mind-set in how we approach practices and games,” coach Tim Devericks said. “We’re in a seven-week battle.”The War Eagles responded just like the coach hoped they would.“I loved their energy,” he said. “They were pulling for each other. The communication was the best it’s been all year as far as what calls we were making, and that’s what it takes to be locked in and ready to play. They were pulling for each other, and that’s what I like to see.” Quarterback Ty Miller was his typical self, going 15 of 25 for 196 yards. He threw one touchdown pass and ran for three scores. The TD pass to Ethan Driver extended Miller’s streak; he has thrown at least one TD in all 15 of his varsity games in two years.Markel Summers’ 106 rushing yards were nothing new; it was his third straight game with 100-plus. Miller’s favorite target on this night was Driver, the gifted soph-omore who had six grabs for 106 yards. It was his third 100-yard game in four tries. “Ty doesn’t rely on one per-son,” Devericks said. Miller also connected with Leon Bradshaw (3-28), Evan York (3-27), Grey Deal (2-23) and Braddock Coleman (1-12). “He’s throwing the ball where the defense is telling us to throw it. We’re OK with a 5-yard checkdown.“Ethan and Braddock are good route-runners, and those guys compete every day. They are such competitive young men.”In the first half, the War Eagles ripped off four TD drives in six possessions while opening up Davie tunes up for four week gauntlet Please See Gauntlet - Page B6 Tate Carney carries the ball against Vanderbilt.

Sweeping up out of the Gulf of Mexico, mak-ing landfall in Florida’s “Big Bend” and crossing the state, dumping plenty of rain on Georgia, South Carolina and coastal North Carolina.Two weeks later, North Carolina saw some dramat-ic, negative effects.The N.C. Division of Environmental Quality an-nounced it was monitoring a huge fish kill in the Neu-se River near New Bern – with the dumping of rain from Idalia a likely cause.NCDEQ said tens of thousands of dead menha-den floated up in a 30-mile section of river downstream from New Bern.Hypoxia, a condition in which insufficient levels of dissolved oxygen leave the water uninhabitable for many species, is cited as a likely cause for the fish kill.Hypoxia is a common condition in the aftermath of huge, summer rain events like a hurricane or tropical storm. The rain sends floods of vegeta-tive material into the river proper from surrounding swamps, and the vegetation sucks up dissolved oxygen like a huge vacuum clean-er, sending a slug of “dead” water downstream. Many fish are able to relocate to areas with sufficient dis-solved-oxygen levels, but often, some are caught. Hypoxia is thought to have been responsible for sever-al fish kills in the Roanoke River over the past two de-cades.NCDEQ said it has not found any algae blooms in the area, a major factor that also causes hypoxia, which is normally a short-lived event.Bottomfish recordIt’s been a great summer for bottom-fishing along the North Carolina coast – unless you are a big fish.According to the N.C. Division of Marine Fisher-ies, a Morehead City man has broken a state-record that didn’t last a month.Christopher Roccie was fishing 45 miles out of his home port of Beaufort Inlet on July 27 when he boat-ed a red hind that weighed 10 pounds, 2.4 ounces. That broke the record of 9 pounds, 12.1 ounces, that had been set off Wrights-ville Beach on June 30.Red hind are popular bottomfish that are mem-bers of the grouper family. Rocci’s fish was 25 ½ inch-es long and 20 ¼ inches in girth. He caught the fish on a Penn Ally II rod mat-ed with an Okuma SLX-50WII reel spooled with 80-pound braid. He was using squid and pinfish for bait.Hunting and Fishing DayThe N.C. Wildlife Re-sources Commission has planned a day of activities at two of its facilities to celebrate National Hunting and Fishing Day Sept. 23.The John Lentz Hunt-er Education Complex in Ellerbe will have action on its shotgun, rifle, muzzle-loading and archery ranges, decoy carving demonstra-tions, turkey-calling and hunting demonstrations, a tree-stand safety education booth, outdoor cooking demonstrations, a skins and skulls ID booth, a bass cast-ing station and demonstra-tions of track chairs.The activities do not re-quire pre registration and will run from 9 a.m.-2 p.m.At the John E. Pech-mann Fishing Education Center in Fayetteville, ac-tivities will include casting competitions, a boating simulator, fly-fishing and fly-tying demonstrations, archery and BB gun rang-es, fishing in the Center’s stocked ponds, kayaking, duck-calling and retriever demonstrations, tree-stand demonstrations and live reptile and amphibian ex-hibits.Activities, which run from 9 a.m.-2 p.m., will require preregistration at https://license.goout- doorsnorthcarolina.com/Event/ViewEvent.aspx-?id=138429.

He’s been through exactly what you’re going through now and he was obviously very suc-cessful. How did big brother help you out, or did he say you’re on your own?”Carney: “He didn’t leave me on my own. He’s always been a really good mentor for me. He said: ‘Go out and enjoy it. Don’t take it for granted.’ It goes by fast. I was able to soak it in and I really enjoyed it. It was awesome.”Cotten: “I don’t know that most redshirt freshmen, when they go in for the first time, expect to get over 100 yards. It helps when you go 74 on one play. Take me through that one. You bounced to the outside.”Carney: “We had game-planned it and I was able to hit the right hole at the right time. I made a guy miss.

You pulled one of those NFL moves where you’re looking up at the big video board. I thought: ‘Is he actually looking to see if the guy is going to get him?’” Carney: “Yeah, I saw him coming and I knew he was going to try to punch at the ball. I had to keep the ball high and tight so he wouldn’t punch it out.”Cotten: “You’re listed third on the (depth) chart. But when a guy goes down, you get your chance. You knew you were going to run the ball Saturday, and heck, you got 117 yards and you carried it 13 times. How did that feel in your first real game doing what you want to do?”Carney: “There was defi-nitely a little anxiousness going in, but I saw a Bible verse about the Lord being your rock, and that has stuck with me. For the last couple of days before the game, that was in my head and it gave me peace. It gave me deep peace that I didn’t have to worry about what other people were going to think after the game or before the game. The Lord is the only one I’ve got to worry about judging me. That was really, really important for me. It’s always helpful having the home crowd out. My family is super supportive, they’re always there and I really appreciate them.”Cotten: “I want to give you a chance to give your offensive line some love because those guys have done such a good job.” Carney: “We can’t really do anything without their work up front. They did a good job moving people and getting people out of the way. They’ve been doing that and we’re excited to see how they can continue to get better and improve. It’s always fun whenever they’re moving people. It makes my job a lot easier.” Carney ... The season started slow-ly for North Davie’s softball team, but the Wildcats are feeling a lot better about themselves after picking up three wins last week. They poured across nine runs in the second inning and belted South Davie 15-1 at South on Sept. 11. The offensive catalysts were Peyton Presnell (3 for 4, triple, two RBIs) and Cal-loway Spillman (three hits, two RBIs). North’s offense was helped by 10 walks, with Allie Berg, Kinley Pasquet and Chloe McCune drawing two free passes apiece. Pasquet pitched three innings and only allowed one hit. The one run off her was unearned. Allison Cothren and Makayla Martin had one hit each for South. ND 7, Selma 0Grayce Clark pitched a complete-game one-hitter and Spillman and Pasquet knocked in two runs each as North dominated game one of a home doublehead-er against Selma Burke on Sept. 14. Clark struck out seven Bears. ND 7, Selma 4Spillman drove in two more runs in game two against the Bears as North lifted its record to 4-3. “Calloway continues to be a force at the plate,” coach Tabitha Elledge said. After Clark and Zoe Shore pitched one inning each, Pasquet worked the last five innings in the circle. Notes: Ellis was blown out by Selma Burke and West Rowan. The Jaguars are 2-6 with a five-game los-ing streak. ... South Davie is also struggling. The Tigers got hammered by Moores-ville, falling to 2-8 with seven consecutive losses.

B4 - DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Sept. 21, 2023 Davie’s varsity soccer team is still searching for an elusive victory. After visiting East Forsyth pulled away from Davie in the second half, the War Eagles gave Reagan a run before falling just short in a dog-fight on the road. Against East on Sept. 11, Davie was only behind 1-0 at halftime. But East domi-nated the second half to raise its records to 6-2 overall and 2-0 in the Central Piedmont Conference. Junior Gage Whitaker had Davie’s goal, with an assist from freshman Dylan Cassetta. Two days later, Whitaker scored again at Reagan, but it wasn’t enough. Reagan took a 2-0 lead in the first half and held on as the Raid-ers improved to 5-5-1, 2-1. Davie fell to 0-9, 0-3. Junior Varsity Although Davie’s JV lost 2-1 to East Forsyth, it’s hard to imagine Davie playing much better than it did in its second 2-1 setback of the season. The halftime score was 1-1 thanks to a goal by freshman Hunter Stephens. “My team played beauti-fully,” coach Scott McBain said. “It was very close and could have gone our way.”East broke the tie late in the game. “It was a brilliant goal,” McBain said. “We need to close better.”Two days later, the War Eagles fell 4-1 to Reagan. It was a frustrating day because it wasn’t like Da-vie (3-3, 0-2 CPC) was overmatched. It competed on even terms for much of the game with an opponent that won for the sixth time in seven tries. “We gave up two easy goals in the first 10 min-utes,” McBain said. “Then we battled back. Then with a few minutes left, we gave away two more easy goals. We had some defensive mis-takes. The game was closer than the score reveals.”After a 2-0 first half, Andy Longares cut Rea-gan’s lead in half. It stayed 2-1 until the late stages. The loss certainly wasn’t the fault of Kevin Ramos, Devin Hernandez and Stephens. “Several players looked really good,” he said. “Kev-in, Devin and Hunter all played strong. We’re going to get our share (of wins); we’re still developing.” Reagan holds off winless Davie Get it weekly! With a subscription to the Enterprise Record. Only $32.03 P./Yr. in Davie County.

One day after losing at West Forsyth, Davie dropped a three-set battle at Grimsley. “We struggled in set one with serving/serve-receive,” coach Tabatha Lyons said. “But we turned it around (in the second set).” Grimsley took the third set 15-11. In the fourth match in six days, Davie (7-4 overall, 4-2 CPC) had an easy time against visiting Parkland. Freshman Avery Mallory served every point in a 25-0 set.

By Brian PittsDavie Enterprise Record Davie’s tennis team en-dured its first regular-season loss since June of 2021. It’s the greatest truth in sports: Nobody wins ‘em all. Two massive streaks fell when visiting Reynolds edged Davie 5-4 at South Davie Middle on Sept. 13. Davie had won 35 straight Reynolds stops Davie tennis streak regular-season matches and 30 straight in the Central Piedmont Conference - both program records. The War Eagles of Collin Ferebee had led a charmed life when it came to 5-4 scores. They won by that margin six times during the streak, beating Reagan, Reynolds and West For-syth twice each. They beat Reynolds by one in the first meeting on Aug. 21. It was quite a run. “It ended the best way possible,” Ferebee said. “I said: ‘Look, we had many matches go our way and eventually one wasn’t going to.’ We got more than our fair share of things going our way, so I have nothing to be too upset over. In a rebuild year, a 5-4 loss to a really good team like Reynolds ... I can handle that. We got beat; we didn’t lose. We played as well as we could against a team with senior experience.”The first regular-season loss since 6-3 against Rea-gan in June of 2021 is the bad news. The good: Davie is still tied for first with Rea-gan, which defeated Reyn-olds the first time around. Third-place Reynolds has two CPC losses. “We still have a second match with Reagan, so that one (this) week will deter-mine first place,” Ferebee said. Elliot Newsome stayed perfect with a 6-2, 6-0 win at No. 1 over Elizabeth Kim. Davie’s star junior is 8-0. “Elizabeth is one heck of a player, and the score did not reflect the match,” Ferebee said. “Elliot was the deserving winner, but there were some excellent points out there that looked like college points at times.”Sophomore Casey Cao had a gritty comeback at No. 6. The scores were 4-6, 6-0, 10-8 as Cao knocked off a senior opponent. “Casey has not always been a starter, but when she’s popped in the lineup, she’s found ways to win matches that she proba-bly shouldn’t have won,” Ferebee said. “She doesn’t have any weapons that she’s going to wow you with, but she’s going to get the ball back, get the ball back and it irritates her opponents. She’s quick and she has a good serve. She’s just a good player.”Davie fell to two seniors and two juniors from Nos. 2-5 singles, creating a 4-2 deficit going into doubles. Davie had to sweep doubles; it settled for two victories. Newsome/Bailey Ader- hold won 8-5 at No. 1. Corbin Drum/Leah Gibson won 8-4 at No. 2. Ferebee said the level of play on those two courts was unbe-lievable. “The level of tennis at one and two doubles was in-sane,” he said. “It was some of the highest quality high school tennis that we’ve ever seen. I’m sure if you watch the state semifinals and state finals, you’re going to get D-1 players playing against each other. But for two ‘normal’ schools, in my twenty-some years of being around high school tennis, it was some of the highest level of tennis that I’ve ever seen.”Notes: Two days before meeting Reynolds, the War Eagles breezed past Glenn 9-0 in Kernersville. New-some, Drum, Aderhold, Gib-son, Ali Cranfill and Gabby Thompson all won 6-0, 6-0. Thompson/Cao, Bethany Jacobs/Olivia Swisher and Aubrey VanDyke/Evie Con-lin tacked on wins in dou-bles. ... Davie had defeated Reynolds five straight times before slipping to 7-1 over-all and 6-1 in the CPC. ... Newsome, Cao (4-0 at six) and Cranfill (4-0 at five) are undefeated in singles. Drum is 7-1 at two, Aderhold is 7-1 at three, Gibson is 6-2 at four and Thompson is 5-2 at five/six.

Summers (11-86 rushing), Miller (14 of 21 for 184 yards) and Driver (6-106) did just about all their damage in the first half as Davie averaged 8.2 yards per play in the first 24 minutes. Meanwhile, the Demons were powerless to slow the onslaught. They averaged 2.6 yards per play in the first half and went 3 for 11 on third-down conversions. Their first-half possessions: fumble, punt, punt, field goal, punt, fumble, punt, end of half. Their go-to play was short passes from sopho-more QB Tommy Elrod to receiver Mac Murphy. They connected eight times in the game, but Murphy only managed 60 yards as Davie’s defense made Reynolds work for every yard it got. One of the biggest high-lights of the first half was Gauntlet ... By Brian PittsDavie Enterprise Record What a night for Jamar-ius Pelote. The sophomore scored all five touchdowns as Davie’s JV football team cruised past visiting Reyn-olds 32-6 on Sept. 14. Pelote was the quarter-back of the 2022 JV squad. This season began with Pelote and Aiden Hall ro-tating at QB, but against Gavin Reese’s kickoff return after Reynolds got on the board with a 22-yard field goal. Reese, an impres-sive sophomore cornerback, kicked into another gear at midfield and was never touched as he sped 89 yards to the end zone. “He’s a kid who doesn’t say a lot, but he’s compet-ing on every play,” Dever-icks said. “I’m excited for him. Sometimes on defense, those guys don’t get a lot of recognition by just doing their job. Gavin was smil-ing for the first time in a while. They tell me he talks in school, but I don’t see it much on the football field.”Reese wasn’t the only one who reached the end zone for the first time as a War Eagle. Later in the second quarter, Elrod threw a lateral. Freshman cor-nerback Braxton Bowling alertly swooped in, scooped it up and rambled 74 yards the other way. “We preach when the ball’s on the ground to pick it up,” Devericks said. “We do scoop-and-score drills.”It was time for the run-ning clock when Davie made it 47-3 with 9:46 re-maining in the third. Davie’s offense only ran 12 plays in the second half. The War Eagles moved to 3-1 overall. During their three-game winning streak, they have triumphed by 32, 29 and 44 points. By con-trast, the Demons stayed in the doldrums at 1-3. Now it’s time for a huge test. Davie will host un-beaten East Forsyth (4-0, 1-0 CPC) Friday night at 7. East is a juggernaut that has shared first or finished first outright each of the past three years. Over the last three seasons, it is 27-3, including wins of 49-7 over Heritage, 55-0 over Jack Britt, 27-21 over A.C. Reynolds and 29-21 over Reagan in 2023. Although the War Eagles have lost seven straight in the series, including 56-21 last year, they look like they could be a dark horse in the CPC race. “We’ve got a big-time opponent coming to Mocks-ville,” Devericks said. “We’re going to have to lock in this week and try to execute. We’ve got some competitors on our team that will respect (East), but at the same time, they’re willing to line up and try to compete with them.”Notes: A few times against Reynolds, York lined up in the backfield and took what amounted to long handoffs from Miller. It was a wrinkle in the offensive scheme. “We’re trying to get the ball to different peo-ple and keep other people fresh,” Devericks said. ... Davie has won five straight and 13 of 14 against Reyn-olds. Since the Demons shocked Davie 28-10 in 2018, the War Eagles have won the past five meetings by 29, 19, 45, 24 and 44 points. ... Senior linebacker Ian Boger intercepted a pass in the final minutes and went 90 yards to the house. Unfortunately, the TD was nullified by a penalty. Close loss for South tennisSouth Davie’s girls tennis team fell on the short end of a 5-4 decision against Moores-ville on Sept. 11. South’s winners in singles were No. 1 Scarlett Brock (8-7), No. 5 EG Snow (8-1) and No. 6 Sierra Graydon (8-0). At No. 2 doubles, Amelia Elledge and Iris Marion were 6-2 winners. The loss dropped South to 4-2. Cornatzer-Pinebrook tie 40-40 in five OTsCornatzer and Pinebrook played an all-time thriller on Saturday. After five overtimes, the game ended in a 40-40 tie. Justin Green had three rushing touchdowns (50, 2, 2 yards) for the varsity Trojans. The other three Pinebrook TDs were Green’s 8-yard pass to Jacob Self, Landon McCann’s 4-yard pass to Ryan Heggerick and Chris Gonzalez’s 8-yard run. At the end of regulation, the score was 14-14. Both teams scored in the first OT, but both teams failed on their two-point tries. The same thing happened in the second OT. The defenses got stops in the third OT. Both teams scored in the fourth OT, and then both offenses were successful on their two-point plays. And both teams had six points in the fifth OT. Pinebrook’s rushing leaders were Green (5-52), Gonzalez (7-34) and Brennen Mason (4-24). Seger Holt hit 3 of 6 passes for 36 yards. Heggerick was Pinebrook’s top receiver with three catches for 33 yards. WRD survives 22-20 over MocksvilleIn week one, the William R. Davie Raiders topped Cornatzer 20-6. Colin Evans had 180 yards and three TDs on eight carries, Jeremiah Evans had six carries for 60 yards and Jace Holman set the tone with an early interception. In week two, the Raiders pulled off a doozy of a win, 22-20, over Mocksville. C. Evans (six carries, 130 yards) and J. Evans (11 carries, 110 yards, two TDs) led the way for the Raiders. Denard McMillan delivered a huge 30-yard run to set up Jaeman Evans for the tiebreaking TD with 13 seconds remaining. Then C. Evans tacked on a two-point run. Mocksville responded immediately, scoring on a 60-yard run. But WRD stopped the two-point try to seal the deal. Holman had a forced fumble and a fumble recovery. “It was a dogfight,” WRD offensive coordinator John Evans said. “Daydrain Kelly had a big defensive game with a host of tackles and key blocks in both games. Mason Holman was in on a lot of tackles and had some key lead blocks as well.” Reach your audience wherever they are: on desktops/laptops, tablets & smartphones.

Pelote rushed 19 times for 153 yards and three TDs, and two of his four receptions were scores as Davie extended its winning streak to three. Davie led 13-0 at the end of the first quarter, 19-6 at halftime and 26-6 at the end of the third. “Jamarius is an intel- ligent player and he can handle (the transition from QB to RB),” coach Tim Devericks said. “He knew where the running backs lined up. As a quarterback, you have to know what ev-erybody on the field is doing at every position. And his natural athletic ability has taken over.”Davie’s top receiver, sophomore Dallas Simms, suffered a knee injury against the Demons, and he was walking on crutches the next day. His season could be over. If that’s the case, Davie will lean even more on Pelote and Hall, who completed 6 of 12 passes for 47 yards, including the two scoring hookups with Pelote, who led the way in catches (four) and receiving yards (36). “It definitely hurts us,” coach Spencer Pasciolla said of Simms’ injury. “He has been the quintessential kid you look to to become a leader in his second year. I think regardless of the diagnosis, he’ll continue to be a leader for this team. He’ll show up every day and continue to be about the War Eagles. But it’s definitely not a positive for us on the field. “At skill (positions) we’re pretty young, but obviously Jay (Pelote) is going to take care of us. He continued to do great things with the ball in his hands. And Aiden is going to step up and continue to take on more and more of a role, especially with his moves. We definitely have some guys who will be ready.”Jayce Bentley (5 carries, 69 yards) and Cameron Knox (9-57) also pounded away on the ground to help Davie climb to 3-1. Pasciolla only had one complaint: three turnovers. “We still have turnovers that I’m not happy with, but we’re starting to click a little bit more and a little bit more often,” he said. “Once we put it all together, we should be a dang good team.”Early on, the Demons completed too many passes for defensive coordinator Blaine Nicholson’s liking. But once the defense set-tled in, everything worked according to plan. “They tested our DBs,” Nicholson said of Josh Jones, CJ Moore, Colson Sink and Jakob Cable. “We had to get acclimated a little bit, but as the game went on, we did a lot better job. To give up just one score was successful.”But no position per-formed better on defense than the inside linebackers (Bubby Byington, Luke Wayne, Luke Foster and Jackson Meadwell). “The linebackers played probably the best of any-body,” Nicholson said. Notes: The Demons fell to 1-3 with their third loss in a row. ... Brady Carter and Simms had one catch each. ... When you rush for 286 yards, the offensive line is doing something right. Ryan Williams, Ahmad McGee, Walker Matthews, Maddox Creason, Colt Ratliff and Sammy Angell seem to be jelling up front. “They’ve come a long way since week one,” Devericks said. “With continued effort and tech-nique, we can be a pretty good group.” 1484 Hwy. 64 West, Mocksville, NC 336-751-3372 1328733 “Serving Davie County Since 1973” •Brakes • Tires • Batteries • Alignments • Scheduled Maintenance • Complete and Professional Auto Repair DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Sept. 21, 2023 - B7 By Brian PittsEnterprise Record Two weeks after letting one slip away against East Forsyth, Davie’s volleyball team made amends when it hosted West Forsyth on Sept. 12. This was one the War Eagles had to have, and they got it to stay in the hunt for second place in the Central Piedmont Conference. At that point, Reagan was 5-0, East Forsyth was second at 4-1 and Davie, West and Reynolds were tied for third at 3-2. “We knew coming into the season that us, West Forsyth, East Forsyth and Reagan would be battling for the top spots, and with us losing to East, we felt like if we had any chance to finish in the top two, we were going to have to take care of West both times that we play them,” coach Amber Brandon said.

The game was stopped with 7:45 left in the fourth quarter by rain/lightning. The Jaguars (3-1) haven’t allowed more than 14 points in any game, and they were as good as ever while build-ing a 24-0 lead. “Defensive-wise, that was a our best performance we’ve put up,” assistant coach Roger Blalock said.

But their serv-ing game was humming in Statesville. “We had struggled from the service line all year, so that’s what we’ve been focussing on,” Brandon said. “We want to serve aggressive. We don’t want to put free balls over the net. We’re a pretty good blocking team and we’re a really good defensive team, so we can’t miss serves. We didn’t miss many serves and that allowed us to find an offensive rhythm a lot faster. Malia Privett went on a huge run.”Davie 3, WF 1In the crucial match against West Forsyth, Davie roared out of the gate. “Set one we played re-ally, really well,” Brandon said. “It was probably the best that I’ve seen us play. We had a really good prac-tice Monday, and set one was building off everything we had done (recently).”But toward the end of the first set, Davie watched Privett suffer a season-end-ing knee injury. “Malia went up and put the ball down on the 10-foot line,” Brandon said. “It was an amazing attack off an overpass. She came down funky on her left knee.”Davie is now without a senior who played an inte-gral role. “She was a six-rotation outside,” Brandon said. “She never came off the floor. She was typically our first server. She played good defense. She had a huge serve-receive responsibility. It’s going to take more than one person to fill the shoes that she was wearing. We were just kind of figuring it out and things were click-ing.”For the War Eagles, it was somber watching their teammate go down. It af-fected their play in set two, when West evened the score at 1-1. “We were in a lineup that we had never run,” Brandon said. “It was a combination of a new lineup, they were worried about their friend and their teammate, and they felt the pressure that this was a must-win game.”The War Eagles could have folded. They did not. Caroline Lakey, Addison Wilson and Lauren O’Con-nor delivered as Davie snatched the last two sets to beat West for the sixth time in seven meetings. “In set three, everybody kind of settled down and we made some lineup ad-justments,” Brandon said. “Caroline had a new role and had a really good game. Addison had a little bit of a different role than what she is in in our normal lineup, and she played really well. Lauren made good decisions down the stretch and made adjustments to the way she plays the game and the way she sets the ball that helped hitters be successful. That was big for us.“West is super young and we wanted to play fast. We felt like with West’s youth and inexperience that a fast pace might be something they struggle with.”Notes: In a road noncon-ference match on Sept. 13, Davie lost 25-20, 25-19, 25-17 to Grimsley. It was the sixth straight win for the Whirlies, who improved to 11-3. ... One day later in the CPC, Davie buried visiting Parkland 25-6, 25-6, 25-9. The Mustangs sank to 2-9, 0-6. ... The week ended with Davie (8-4 overall) tied for third. Reagan is 6-0, East is 5-1 and Davie/West are tied at 4-2. “We had a bunch of sacks. Finley Sink, Bowman Blakely, Allen Moxley and Brodie Newman had several key tackles in the backfield.”Safety Brady Hall, who returned from injury, had an interception as Ellis beat South for the sixth time in a row. “Brady’s good at pass coverage,” Blalock said. Forrest was involved in all three TDs. He attempted three passes and two re-sulted in scores, both to the tight end, Davis. The other TD was a 45-yard run by Forrest. “They were blitzing their strong side, so we ran a bootleg,” Blalock said of Forrest’s 45-yarder. It was an all-around great game for the Jaguars, who ran the ball effectively with Forrest, Sink and Cannon Smith sharing the ball-car-rying duties. “We got about three or four yards almost every time we ran the ball,” Blalock said. Notes: A three-game losing streak has dropped the Tigers to 2-3. ... North Davie was manhandled at Mooresville, 40-6. The Red Imps did all that damage in the first half. The second half wasn’t played because of the stormy weather. It was the second straight lopsided loss for the Wildcats, who started 3-0 before losing by 30 to Selma Burke. • Upcoming Games • Davie volleyball beats West; but loses Privett to injury Ellis football easily beats South Davie American Cylinder Products David and Johnsie Strand BJ and Alice Sineath Prillaman Family David and Candy Poplin Andy and Amy Backus Clyde and Gladys Scott Ron and Teresa Bivins AMCO Waterproofing Kristen and Donnie Hill Almost Home Child Care Glast Graphics DavieLiFE North Davie Ruritan Club Flow Automotive Sean and Kelly Hines Edwards, Falls & Renegar Judge Jimmy Myers THANK YOU generous sponsors and War Eagles for helping to ignite Davie through Touchdowns for Education!

The Touch-A-Truck showcase will unfold across the street in the town hall parking lot and along Salis-bury Street.“Touch-A-Truck has been a powerful fundraiser for Cognition in the past and a great family-friendly event for the community. We are so excited to see the impact of our event reach even fur-ther this year as we partner with Nickelodeon and ACM for the Worldwide Day of Play,” White said. At noon, the Leadership Davie Class of 2023 will present Davie County EMS with Pedi-Mate pediatric transport straps for each of its trucks to ensure that chil-dren can be safely transport-ed to the hospital.Each year, Leadership Davie class members raise money for a community service project. The idea for this year’s project came from Christina Myers-Cas-sidy after a family member was involved in a serious accident. “I started wondering what our EMS and rescue personnel might need that they didn’t have. I contact-ed Davie County EMS Di-rector Joseph Ashburn and found out about the need for pediatric restraints, so that’s what we have put the focus on for our community proj-ect.” Ashburn is grateful for the donation. “Instead of having a child in a mother’s arms for transport, we can actu-ally have them secured to the stretchers and let the stretchers do what they’re designed to do in case of a motor vehicle accident. This will make transporting chil-dren a lot safer.”Leadership Davie will also be hosting a car seat safety booth. Representa-tives from Davie EMS, the Mocksville Fire Depart-ment, and the Davie Sher-iff’s Office will be onsite to assist with proper child restraint installation and to answer questions. Attend-ees are invited to stop by the booth for a prize and to see how the Pedi-Mate pediatric transport straps work. Cognition Carnival and Touch-a-Truck is free for the family with a suggested donation of $5 per person to support Cognition. Cognition is at 119 N. Salisbury St., next to the Davie Community Founda-tion in Mocksville. The mu-seum offers interactive ex-hibits for ages 10 and under and a hands-on Makerspace for crafting, tinkering, and creating for all ages. Admis-sion is $5 per person for the upstairs exhibit area, with separate admission for the Makerspace.Annual memberships start at $100 (one adult, one child). Follow Cognition on Facebook and Instagram for additional events and updates. Visit www.Cogni-tiondavie.org, email info@Cognitiondavie.org or call (336) 753-1046. ily fun? The quest ends here with Cognition's Carnival and Touch-A-Truck event on Saturday, Sept. 30 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the heart of Downtown Mocksville. “This event offers fam- ilies an incredible chance to experience some of the fun and engaging activi-ties Cognition has in store throughout the year,” said Becca White, Cognition’s education center manager.“We are proud to an-nounce that this year’s Touch-A-Truck will be in partnership with Nickel-odeon and the Association of Children’s Museum’s Worldwide Day of Play. Our World: Worldwide Day of Play is part of Nickel-odeon’s Our World global initiative to inspire kids and provide them with tools to activate their individual and collective agency. “We are thrilled to be a part of this day as we are strong believers in the pow-er of play for people of all ages.”The lush green lawn will be transformed into a "Midway" with fair-themed games and contests. There will be a range of other fam-ily-friendly delights like face painting, enchanting fairy hair, and music. There will be food trucks with snacks and lunch available for purchase.

This summer, eight ed-ucators from Davie County Schools assumed the roles of students, embarking on a journey through local busi-nesses. Their mission? To deepen their under-standing of the skills de-manded by employers to better equip their students for careers.Over the course of a four-day externship, these educators toured local en-terprises such as Ashley Furniture, Avgol, DFA US, DEX Heavy Duty Parts, Dunlop Aircraft Tyres, Fuller Welding & Fabrica-tors, Gildan, Pro Refriger-ation,and Sportsfield Spe-cialties. The tours included a visit to the soon-to-open Veteran’s View Intake Cen-ter. Here, participants were introduced to the programs set to be offered to veter-ans, active service mem-bers, their families, and the Davie community.

The teachers were also briefed on potential volun-teer opportunities and in-ternships for students.This community partner-ship between Davie County Schools, the Davie County Economic Development Commission (DCEDC), and local industries aims to make students aware of lo-cal career opportunities and technological demands. Through summer extern-ships focusing on Career and Technical Education (CTE) and Science, Tech-nology, Engineering, and Math (STEM), educators are reconnected with industries to renew an understanding of practices and technology and the soft skills necessary for success.Carolyn McMana-my, the director of Davie CONNECT, praised this initiative: “The summer externship is a tremendous collaborative effort between Davie County Schools, our Economic Development Commission, Davie CON-NECT, and our local busi-nesses. “This externship offers the opportunity for educa-tors to see the importance of the curriculum they teach and how it is used in re-al-world applications. This is extremely important be-cause the more our teachers know, the better equipped they are to make students aware of all educational and employment opportunities. “The relationships de-veloped with our business community through these externships are invaluable. We want our businesses and our schools working with our students so that they better understand the con-nection of education to ca-reers,” McManamy said.This partnership, initi-ated in 2014, was initially funded by a $50,000 con-tribution from the Mebane Charitable Foundation as part of DCEDC's five-year economic growth plan, "To-gether We Are Davie." Rec-ognizing the value of the program, DCEDC assumed sponsorship.“Each summer, teachers learn from industry lead-ers about the available job opportunities and the ed-ucational prerequisites for each role,” said DCEDC President Terry Bralley. “This has created tremen-dous awareness and rela-tionships between local industries and our teachers, students, and families. This program empowers teachers to better guide students to-ward promising career paths while fostering a potential local workforce.”This year’s participants included: Matthew Bark-er, STEM English teach-er, DCHS; Tani Caudle, STEM English teacher, DCHS; Jennifer Hanes, Da-vidson-Davie Community College career coach; Karen Jarvis, chief communica-tions officer, DCS; Corbin Kopetzky, STEM social studies teacher, DCHS; Ste-fanie Morris, middle school career development coordi-nator; Jason Ward, STEM science teacher, DCHS; and Alyse Wooldridge, career development coordinator, See Teachers - Page B14 DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Sept. 21, 2023 - B13 Be a Know-It-All Subscribe Today!

Visiting the Veterans View Intake Center, Jennifer Haynes, Stephanie Morris, Jason Ward, Carolyn McManamy, Tani Caudle, Alyse Wooldridge, Anthony Davis, Matt Barker and Corbin Kopetsky, Continued From Page B12DCHS. Other attendees includ-ed program organizers McManamy, and Anthony Davis, director of CTE and federal programs for Davie County Schools.Morris shared her in-sights: “This was the first year I participated in teach- Davie County Schools’ educators learn about Davie industries so they can bridge the gap between employers and future employees.Teachers ... er externships. I took a new position in the county in January as the career devel-opment coordinator for our 5-8 grade students. I took this opportunity to learn more about our county and the businesses that make their homes here. “This experience taught me a great deal about our economy in Davie County and what companies are looking for in employees. This will be a big help as I talk to students about op-portunities in their futures. The most exciting part was being able to see what was here. I have worked with Davie Schools for the past 18 years and never knew a lot of these companies were here or what they do. The amount of sophistication and automation in the man-ufacturing companies was amazing,” she said.“I also really enjoyed the Veterans Intake Center. I enjoyed seeing how facets of the community can come together to help each other. The willingness of all of these companies to partner with our schools reinforced that Davie County truly cares about their kids and education, which is not the case in every community,” she said.Wooldridge agreed.“The summer externship program is one of my favor-ite times of the year. I enjoy visiting local industries, and I am always amazed at what is being made in Da-vie County. I enjoy taking what I learn back to other staff members so that we can share it with students. My goal is to showcase the amazing things we do in Davie County so that our students know they can have successful careers without moving,” Wool-dridge said.For local businesses, the externship program pro-vides a platform to educate teachers about the skills demanded by their employ-ees.“I think it is import-ant for the young men and women who will be grad-uating to understand what type of careers there are in Davie County,” said Jay Kimura, manufacturing manager. ”A lot of the man-ufacturing facilities such as Pro Refrigeration can give opportunities to learn a valuable skill set or trade. Having the students visit these facilities gives them options and hopefully gets their minds thinking about how they can make a differ-ence after graduation. “Currently, we have an Ignite Davie graduate who works in our Component Mount area. Max Gain-do-Martinez came to us ea-ger to learn and with goals that he wanted to achieve. He has proven himself in a very short time. Max will be accompanying one of our seasoned techs out in the field to help with main-tenance calls to help ser-vice customers.”Darryl Fournier, VP of operations North America, said Avgol recognizes the importance of strong com-panies to build strong com-munities.“Manufacturing has historically provided good jobs and opportunities, yet many in our schools are un-aware of the many career choices that manufactur-ing offers. Participating in manufacturing externships arms educators with infor-mation to share with their students giving them more choices,” he said. Anthony Davis, director of CTE and federal pro-grams for Davie County High School, expressed his gratitude to the organiza-tions that welcomed the ex-terns into their facilities. He hopes that more businesses will join the cause in the coming summers.“We are truly trying to create a partnership,” Davis said. “We want to include as many businesses as possible. Communica-tion is key. For the busi-nesses to get their word out, they need us, and for us to get the word out, we need them. Businesses are tell-ing us they can’t fill slots. We want them to know that we are a direct pipeline to community workforce de-velopment.“Through open lines of communication and col-laborative efforts, we can become a valuable resource for addressing workforce shortages in our communi-ty. It's crucial that we ensure students are well-informed about all the opportunities available to them. Our goal is not to steer any child in a direction they do not wish to pursue, but rather, to em-power them and their par-ents with a comprehensive understanding of the abun-dant possibilities within Davie County," Davis said.
