Recently, she took a step forward by obtaining an as-sociate degree in emergency medical science and her para-medic certification at David-son-Davie Community Col-lege (DDCC).It was all free, thanks to the IGNITE DAVIE College Promise. IGNITE DAVIE pays tui-tion and fees with a stipend for books for graduates to attend Davidson-Davie Community College (DDCC) full-time at either campus. The funds kick in after other scholarships or federal aid have been applied.Students must live in and Davie EMS Paramedic Ashley Lipscomb earned her paramedic certification with the help of IGNITE DAVIE.

Youthn football players and cheerleaders were in at-tendance for Youth Football Night. Davie Community Foundation staff and volun-teers tossed mini footballs into the crowd every time Davie scored a touchdown. Thirty-six businesses and individuals that joined the touchdown team agreed to contribute $100 every time Davie scored a touchdown. Davie scored five touchdowns to help raise $18,000 for IG-NITE DAVIE.“It was a great night for Davie County – winning the game and supporting educa-tion,” said Jane Simpson, pres-ident and CEO of the Davie Community Foundation. Davie Schools also got involved in September as Simpson challenged support through payroll deductions. She challenged schools to raise the bar on participation to 200 staff and increase com-mitments to $25,000. To motivate staff, a first and second place prize was of-fered. “The most competitive in nature really stood out as some schools went all out to encour-age participation,” Simpson said. “In the end, first place Please See Ignite - Page 10 Black Belts and brother and sister Kenny and Savi Carter practice karate at Davie Recreation & Parks.

Tell us what you think Global warming another hoax The Literary Corner: Renegade Writer’s Guild Please See Renegade ‑ Page 7 Yadkin College Part IBy Linda H. BarnetteVirginia Fisk wrote a book about Yadkin College in 1984 because her grandfather attended school there around 1900. Only 1000 copies of her book Country College on the Yadkin were published. I was lucky to receive a copy as a gift from my son in 2014. I had always known about it just from conversations in my dad’s family, and I remember going with my parents to see the old building in the little village of Yadkin College right across the river off Highway 64.However, it was only later when I became interested in genealogy that I realized there were family connections. Then just a few years ago, as fate would have it, I met Jack and Frances Brooks at First Presbyterian Church. They lived in Yadkin College, and Jack’s mother was a Hartley, so we were related. We visited them several times, and Frances drove us to various spots around the area, such as cemeteries, churches, and the old Yadkin College build-ing.The history of the college began early when people in this remote area desired an education for their children. After all, the University of North Carolina was chartered in 1789, and other colleges were formed by various reli-gious groups, such as Davidson College by the Presbyteri-ans, Trinity (later Duke) by the Methodists, and Catawba by the German Reformed Church. Therefore, at the end of the annual meeting of the Meth-odist Protestants, there was talk of establishing a seminary To the editor:The devil’s most dependable tool is ignorance. Sadly, the number of contributors is growing daily.Global warming is just another hoax. Tax dollars will be used to hand out big temperature control contracts, which won’t work, with kickbacks going to Washington money hogs.If these fake do gooders were honest about air quality, their main effort would be to save the shrinking rain for-ests. You’ll never hear one peep about that. I guess there’s no money or glory in it.Delmar McDaniel, Mocksville To the editor:I am responding to the letter from “A rainbow shouldn’t be offensive.”I grew up in the time when a rainbow was a sign from God that his promises would be fulfilled. Unicorns danced under a rainbow in a happy and fanciful way and we were awed by one in the sky. Who didn’t love a rainbow?Unfortunately, that is not the case today in our society. The rainbow now represents the LBGTQ+1A or lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and intersexual, asexual and others community. The rainbow flag is seen often in the news, we have gay parades and it is displayed in win-dows of businesses.Now, when I see a rainbow flag or a rainbow painted somewhere, I, as a Christian, am offended. The rainbow now represents a group of individuals whose lifestyle which I cannot agree. Do those individuals have a right to choose that lifestyle as adults? Yes. But I don’t have to agree that their choice is healthy or godly.The fact that a rainbow was painted on a rock in front of Ellis Middle School is disturbing. As a passerby, I would wonder what is being taught there. The news is full of transgender rights for childrren and we are being told that parents have no right to be told if their child wants to be called Sue instead of Bobby. We are told we are racist if we question it. You asked, “When did a rainbow become offensive.” Look around at the media, the government and even the churches have turned away from our Christian and family values.You asked, “When did a few override the wishes of the majority.” A 2022 Gallup poll found that 7.1 percent of Americans identify as LBGTQ+. The few have overtaken the many. I think that Jeff Wallace was correct in painting over the rock. It was displayed in the front of a middle school; it sent the wrong message to the public.As a parent and a retired middle school teacher, I know all too well the developmental stage of middle school stu-dents. The need to fit in, to be noticed, having feelings they have never felt before because of hormonal changes, say-ing to a parent “you don’t understand me,”; these things can lead to dangerous experiential situations.We have an obligation not to encourage negative be-haviors, teachings, or displays that could be misinterpreted by our students. Let our children be children.I think the “House” system in the middle schools (The painted rock was said to represent the colors of the indi-vidual houses.) is a way to help our childen thrive. But there is a need to be vigilant on how we present ideas that can send mixed messages.Karen Crowe, Mocksville Schools right to do away with rainbow To the editor:On the night of Sept. 18, I experienced a cardiac event that caused me to pass out at the Davie County Little League Complex. My family and I are extremely grateful for the immedi-ate response from parents (with and without medical expe-rience), the Farmington Fire Department, and Farmington EMS. The Little League had recently implemented a program in which they compiled a list of parents who had expertise in the medical field in case of an emergency on or off the field. This allows immediate assistance before the emer- gency services arrive. In an emergency situation, minutes can be critical. I want to give special thanks to Kathy and Andy Law-son, James Shilkoff, Amanda Cullipher, Jeffrey Jones, Greg Forbes and Benny Crotts, who made the 911 call. I’m sure there were others who assisted who I wish I could acknowledge.Also, I want to thank all those involved in the Davie Little League program who give many volunteer hours so that the children of Davie County have the opportunity to grow and learn life lessons through sports.Nancy Evans, Advance Grateful for responders, emergency awareness To the editor:I’m writing this letter in response to the letter by Misty Hall published on Sept. 28 regarding the rainbow.In your letter, you asked: “When did a complaint from a few begin to override the wishes of the majority?” The majority believe in the covenant between God and man that he would not flood the earth again (Genesis 9: 9-17). But the rainbow was hijacked by Satan and put in a few minds of people to be the symbol of the gay movement. Why, when you visit Noah’s Ark between Kentucky and Ohio, they have a t-shirt that says, “The Real Meaning of the Rainbow.” I own one.I’m not giving you my opinion, but what God’s word says in Ephesians 6:11-12: “Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wicked-ness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.”It only took a few people to remove prayer from public school sporting events. My parents used a Bible to diagram sentences in En-glish. Somebody complained.Bible verses on National Parks land that had been there for 60 years were removed because someone complained.The Ten Commandments were removed from the Al-abama courthouse because someone didn’t like it there.I love the rainbow, especially after a rain and you’re driving down the road. The colors are spectacular. What God has created. Good. All of nature declares there is a God.Jim Spry, Cooleemee The rainbow hijacked by Satan in Davidson County. One of the delegates and a resident of the village, Henry Walser, bought 10 acres of land along the Yadkin River nine miles west of Lexington. He also owned a kiln to make bricks for the buildings. Others also helped, including David Michael, Thomas Crump, and many more. When I read the names, many of them were familiar Davidson County names.The village of Yadkin College was a perfect place for a school. The village had a population then of 150 people, and there were four stores and a post office, the Hartley mill, and the Dale and Jordan tobacco factory. The cat-alogue stated that there would be “no diversions from study” there and no “temptation to extravagance,” and that no strong drink could be purchased within several miles of the area. By Elisabeth StrillacciGuest Columnist I have somehow never been able to see January as the start of the new year. For me, it’s always been September. In part, I guess, it’s because fall, or autumn, is my favorite season. But it’s also because, from about 4 years of age, when I started preschool, September was the start of the new school year. A time I still love. I know, many of you are thinking how that was not your happy time, having to go back to classrooms and home-work and structured time that was not your own. But for me, every new school year was a new start, an opportunity to once again succeed. I was getting to see friends I did not see over the summer, for whatever reason (travel, family time, no one to ferry us across town, eventually summer jobs, etc.). There was a lot of catching up to do.And for me, a school nerd if you will, I was heading back to the place where I was getting to dive into all kinds of new information. I was a tennis player as well, so get-ting back to the team and, admittedly, the competition, was always exciting. Add in the weather — cooler nights with open windows, Friday night football, sweaters made of snuggle-worthy fabrics, fall colors that are warm and comforting — and now I’m really feeling a combination of the excitement of learning and a new start, the joy of reconnecting with others and the peace of feeling the earth settle in to her easy place. As the leaves change color, then fall, I adore scuffing my feet as I walk along sidewalks. I enjoy the raking, even when my back does not, and though I well know, as a homeowner, that leaf collection is always a bone of contention between residents and their towns, I still love the piles along the roadside. After all, nothing good and wonderful comes without some equal and balancing work and struggle. If leaf collection is the toughest challenge of fall, I’ll take it happily. Autumn is filled with scents I adore. Woodsmoke, from the backyard fire pits neighbors gather around, the smell of leaves burning (follow the rules, please, no fires in town), the way trees and grass take on a softer fragrance as they begin to prepare for the hibernation months of winter, and the way the evergreens begin to assert their piney, icey fragrance, all make me smile and breathe deeply. Don’t get me wrong. Spring and its rebirth, with its fresh greens and early, bright blossoms of forsythia and chrocus leave me cheerful and filled with hope. Summer, with its heat and incessant blooms, roses, rosemary and lavender, the scents of chlorine from pools and hot tar, give me a chance to revisit a bit of childhood. Winter reminds me that we all need time to rest, recover and replenish, and the cold is refreshing and makes me grateful for the warmth of coats and heat and soul-warm-ing foods. But something about autumn reverberates in my heart and soul. It’s a reassuring reminder that even as we age, there is beauty in us and in the world around us. We all, humans, animals, the very earth we live upon, still have things to offer despite gray hairs, wrinkles, red and orange falling leaves, slower gaits, shorter days and aging vessels. It’s also a time to remember to be grateful for the sea-sons that have come before. It’s a time to reflect and ap-preciate all that I have enjoyed in the spring and summer, and to prepare for the winter so I’m ready when it comes. In a strange way, autumn helps me prepare for loss, as I adjust to the changes. Loss and winter are inevitable, but fall gives me time to say goodbye, and to remember that spring will come, always. This is my personal new beginning, and I have learned to embrace it. I hope you, too, can revel in what this season brings. Slow down, breathe deep, and let yourself live in these moments.

The joys of autumn are upon us DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Oct. 5, 2023 - 3White House Weddings By Betty Etchison WestFor the Enterprise The next White House wedding took place 19 years on Oct. 19, 2013. The wedding of Pete Souza, Chief Official White House Photographer, and Patti Lease in the Rose Garden was the most private of all the White House weddings. The President kept ask-ing Souza when he and Pat-ti, who had been a couple for 19 years, were going to get married. The President then offered to let them get married at the White House. Souza was surprised at the offer, and he and his finance’ accepted. He said, “It gives people a sense that I had a unique relationship with Obama that he would insist I have the wedding at the White House.” Pete Souza and Patti Lease were married in the Rose Garden. White House Military Chaplain Stanley Fornea performed the cer-emony before thirty-five family and friends. Souza said, “I was so honored as was my wife to have my wedding at the White House. Not many people can say that.” Souza, who has bach-elor’s and a master’s de-grees, was the official photographer for Presi-dent Reagan and President Obama.

Noami and Peter Neal, the son of Drs. Mary and William Neal, of Jack-son Hole, Wyoming, were married on Nove. 19, 2022 on the South Lawn of the White House with a view of the Washington Monu-ment. They were the first couple to be married at that particular location. Two hundred and twenty-five guests braved the cold that morning to witness the marriage of 28-year-old Noami Biden and 25-year-old Peter Neal.Noami and Peter were married at 11 a.m. on that unseasonably cold day. Af-ter the wedding, the Presi-dent and First Lady hosted a luncheon in the State Din-ing Room for family mem-bers and members of the bridal party. All the wed-ding guests were invited back to the White House in the evening for dessert and dancing.

When the couple said that they wanted their wedding to be a private affair, he made sure that it was private. There was no media coverage. Even though the wedding was taking place at the People’s House, the First Family felt justified in making it a private affair because they were paying for all the fes-tivities. Noami Biden, who received her Juris De-gree from Columbia Law School in 2020, and Pe-ter Neal, a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania Law School, got engaged in Jackson Hole, the groom’s hometown in September 2021. Peter gave Noami his grandmother’s repurposed wedding band to which an emerald -cut diamond was added. From that day in September 2021, The plan-ning for the 19th wedding at the White House, which was in described in the first paragraphs of this article, began to take shape.The bride, who walked down the aisle with her mother and father, wore a long sleeve, high necked dress with a train and a long veil which was designed by Ralph Lauren. Noami wore elegant pearl and diamond earrings from Tiffany’s. When the guests came back in the evening for dessert and then for dancing, No-ami wore a white beaded fringe dress by Markarian’s Alexandro O’Neal. By the way, the wedding cake was seven feet tall. Noami and Peter had to climb a ladder to cut that cake.The President and his wife had always been close to Noami, their old-est grandchild, who was named for Mr. Biden’s daughter who died in the car wreck which also killed her mother, Biden’s first wife.As Noami grew up, Joe Biden and his second wife, Jill, took a special interest in that first granddaughter. They went to all the athlet-ic and school activities in which she was involved. Because they had always been so close, it was natu-ral that Noami chose to get married at the place which at that time was her grand-parents’ home.The grandparents said, “It has been such a joy to watch Noami grow, discov- er who she is, and crave out an incredible life for herself. Now we are filled with pride to see her choose Peter as her husband and we welcome him to our family. We wish them days full of laughter and a love that grows deeper with ev-ery passing year. “Peter Neal, an attorney, is an Associate at George-town Law Center on Na-tional Security. Noami Biden Neal, who is also an attorney, is an associate of the law firm, Arnold and Porter. The young couple is living on the third floor of the White House. One floor up from Noami’s grandparents which seems to be a fine plan for all be-cause President Biden al-ways loved having his old-est granddaughter near-by. Noami put the following caption on a group of her wedding pictures--“Love you forever; like you for always.” That is a good ending to this series of articles about White House weddings—19 in all with only two of those occurring in the 21st Cen-tury.

They tested on five weap-ons. And they had three, two-minute fights.“We were ready,” he said.At the end, all karate stu-dents lined up for Savi and Kenny to walk by. If any thought a Black Belt wasn’t warranted, they could step out and issue a challenge. None did.“Karate also benefits your emotional ability,” Savi said. “You have to keep a straight face, even if you’ve screwed up. You have to put the whole day’s worth of emotions into a box. It’s a challenge.“Karate helps you adapt your way of thinking ... and the way you teach it has to be dynamic for that certain person.”“Teaching gives you a new understanding of ka-rate,” Kenny said.They give credit to their teacher, or sensei, Travis Henson, a 7th Degree Black Belt, to Stokes Harrison and Hamilton Perkins, asso-ciation director. “They are wonderful teachers, very motivational,” she said.The practice, they say, is something they hope to con-tinue throughout their lives.“Some people do it just for enjoyment, for the ex-ercise, and don’t worry about getting better,” he said. “You can always work harder to move up any time you decide.”Both are active members of Trinity Baptist Church, children of Nathan and Ka-tie Carter. And now, both can proudly wear Black Belts.“It’s just a little status thing we enjoy,” Savi said. The siblings perform karate movements.

DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Oct. 5, 2023 - 5 Two suspects were ap-prehended early morning Thursday, Sept. 28 when they stole a cash register from a store - while Da- Two Mocksville res-idents were arrested for marijuana possession and on gun charges after their vehicle was stopped at Sheetz on Yadkinville Road in Mocksville Tuesday eve-ning.While searching the ve-hicle after the 7:30 p.m. stop, Davie Sheriff’s dep-uties discovered two con-cealed guns, multiple load-ed ammunition magazines, and several plastic baggies containing marijuana, re-ported Sheriff J.D.

ObituariesContinued From Page 2In 1856 the main building was finished. It was a two-story structure 80x35 feet with classrooms on the first floor and an auditorium on the second floor. There were no dormitories. Male students either rented rooms from local residents or camped in tents around the camp meeting ar-bor. The school opened in 1861 with 80 boarding students but was soon interrupted and closed during the Civil War.To be continued ... The Kitchen-Den ComboBy Stephanie Williams DeanMy home was built in the 70s with what was considered popular at the time – the kitchen-den combination. Howev-er, I turned the den area into a breakfast room – it has a real wood-burning fireplace. So, among other reasons, it’s no surprise that the kitchen is my favorite room in the house. The outdated kitchen-den combo works well as a place to enjoy our meals. On many cool days, it’s not that my soul is warmed just by my stove but also by a little fire that burns while I'm cooking. I’m literally immersed in the kind of comfort that only a fire plus made-from-scratch cooking can provide. You won’t find or feel that kind of satisfaction and fulfill-ment in any restaurant, anywhere – no matter how good the food tastes. It’s how we feel while doing what we do - that’s so im-portant.

Let me suggest a place my hus-band and I recently visited nestled in the little town of Flat Rock, North Carolina, just a little way past Asheville.

August changed the family name to Sandburg because of too many men at his railroad job already having that name. Carl grew up in a poor household, left school at 13, worked odd jobs, was a hobo for a while, served in the Spanish-American War, then went back to school although never received a diploma. This, however, did not hinder him from being a very successful reporter, writer and poet, later receiving several honorary degrees. He loved to trav-el going on tour across America, playing his banjo or gui-tar, singing folk songs and reciting poems. Another passion of his from an early age was learning everything he could about Abraham Lincoln. He eventu-ally wrote a six-volume biography on Lincoln, later con-densing this while at Connemara and winning a Pulitzer (History) in 1940 for this achievement. In all, Sandburg won three Pulitzer Prizes - the other two were in 1919 for Cornhuskers, a Book of Poetry and in 1951 (Poetry Prize) for Collected Poems. Look these up for some interesting reading. Sandburg married Lillian Steichen (whom he called Paula) in 1908; they had three daughters. In 1945, they moved from Lake Michigan to Connemara where Lillian’s prize-winning Chikaming goat herd would have a more suitable environment with plenty of pastureland and farm buildings on this 245-acre farm. Many people had asked if Carl came to this place to retire, but “no” had to be the answer. He actually produced about a third of his work while there. A year after Carl Sandburg’s death (July 22, 1967) at age 89, his wife sold the property to the National Park Ser-vice (NPS). She realized the significance of her husband’s work to the culture of America and donated all of the fam-ily’s belongings to NPS so his legacy could be preserved forever.When you tour the home and grounds, you can under-stand why they chose the area; it seems somewhat remote even today.

Commissioner Benita Finney said it is important to get input from residents before making a final deci-sion.Mark Jones, board chair, said any changes to the zon-ing ordinance or map should be the people’s decision.“We want to control growth in terms of sprawl,” Jones said. “There’s a cou-ple of things in here (pre-sentation from Barnett and Easter) that may exaggerate the sprawl, and I don’t think we all want that.”Barnett said it is time for a new comprehensive plan, the last one was adopted in 2019. That shows areas were growth should be ex-pected, among other things.“That plan was written pre-COVID, and a lot has changed drastically. The world has changed, this board has changed,” Bar- nett said. “We are following that plan to a certain extent. We’re talking about what we want to see and what we want in Davie County. We’re at a point to look at this in more detail.”“I think this is progress and we’re going in the right direction,” said Commis-sioner Richard Poindexter. “Everybody should be in-volved.” Community pavilion Non-profit partners with town to provide a safe area be built at East Depot and Pine streets, on Thursday, Oct. 12 at 4 p.m. HAP purchased and do-nated the land to the town for construction of the pa-vilion.HAP is a communi-ty-based, nonprofit organi-zation whose mission is to collaborate to facilitate the preservation of history and advocate for beautification and safety in the East De-pot/Mill Street community, said Sharon Anderson.“The pavilion project will address one of the or-ganization’s primary tenets, that of safety.

Our citizens have never been more engaged. Our Town is increasing-ly recognized as a vibrant community and an amazing place to live and work.The decisions that are made today will impact citizens of our Town for de-cades to come. Four years ago, I was in the audience at a Candidate Forum lis-tening to Mayor Cross and other candidates. At that time, I was traveling for work and family and won-dered if whether – someday – I might be able to lend my experience in working with federal/state/local govern-ments, the business com-munity, and other strategic partners to serve the town. Now, being semi-retired, I am not travelling and have the time and passion to make serving on the Town Council a personal and professional priority, if I am fortunate enough to be elected.What do you think are the biggest challenges facing the town, and how to you attend to address these challenges?Nelson: Here are just two of the challenges fac-ing our Town – which are also priorities and opportu-nities.Challenge: Balanced, Responsible Develop-ment (vs. consequences of over-developments).There is no doubt that development is what is on the minds and in the hearts of citizens. From the sur-vey in the Comprehensive Plan to comments on social media to every day con-versations, this is the issue that will most impact our Town today and far into the future. The implications in- Why did you decide to seek public office? Tedder: I’ve been bless-ed to call Bermuda Run home for the last 42 years. Our town has experienced tremendous growth during that time, and for the most part, that growth has been thoughtful and well-in-formed. Like many of you, I’ve been discouraged and questioned recent deci-sions and developments by the Town Council. I’m not against development if that development does not detract from the quality of life of those already living in the area. I’m running for Town Council to ensure our interests – the interests of the residents - are consid-ered and protected as we welcome more folks into our community.What do you think are the biggest challenges facing the town, and how do you intend to address those challenges? Tedder: Uncontrolled rapid growth and high-den-sity development are the biggest challenges facing Bermuda Run today. Land annexations to the town can be controversial so both fis-cal and social impacts must be considered. Annexa-tions will increase the tax base but, even in our small town, we need to control sprawl and look at the ex-pense of expanding ser-vices to the annexed prop-erty. Any future or existing development in our town should be done thoughtful-ly and responsibly without jeopardizing the quality of life and standard of living we’ve grown to love here in Bermuda Run. I’ll accomplish this through transparent com- The Candidate Name Jeff Tedder Age 64 Address River Hill Drive, Advance Family Wife, Lindsay, 2 daughters, Hannah (33, mar- ried to Bradley Nye) and Gracie (26, married to Evan Ross); grandfather to 2 little boys, Cooper & Eli.

Second, a number of friends and fellow resi-dents noted my service on the Town’s Planning Board for the past seven years and sugested that I continue my service on the Town Coun-cil.Third, I am strongly sup-portive of our Town’s Com-prehensive Plan, as updated in the past year, and I am committed to seeing us fol-low through with the goals and objectives established in that plan.What do you think ar ethe biggest challenges facing the town, and ow do uyou intend to address those challenges?Guthrie: For a number of years, our town was seen as not much more than an In-terstate 40 exit located near a private country club.In recent times, we have become much more than that due to the growth of the surrounding areas and the increase of residential and commercial activity near us. Our greatest challenge going forward is to manage that growth in a way that encourages responsible de-velopment while protecting the rural qualities aroud the town that makes this such an inviting place to live.While recognizing the rights of landowners to use their properties as they see fit, we must ensure that our zoning requirements are enforced, and adjusted as needed, to give current as well as future owners and investors clear guidance on how, where and when de-velopment can occur.We must be prepared to address certain challenges that come with population growth: increased vehicle traffic, pressures on our in-frastructure, and protection of our natural resources.Are you pleased with contracts for law en-forcement with the Davie County Sheriff’s Office? Please give details about what you think is work-ing for the betterment of the town, or what could be improved. Guthrie: Yes, I am. The Sheriff’s Office and the deputies assigned to the Town have been profes-sional, responsive and vis-ible. We enjoy a very low crime rate. Howver, as our Town grows, we may need more enforcement cover-age. That will be a topic for future town leaders to address.Other IssuesGuthrie: I foresee at least three opportunities, with potential issues, for our Town.First, we are and will be divided by a major in-terstate highway. As such, we have to work hard to connect our neighborhoods and businesses with each other so that we feel a true sense of community. Proj-ects such as the Blue Her-on Trail, and other ongoing efforts to build a sense of place for the Town of Ber-muda Run, will help. Our current mayor has done an admirable job in reach-ing out to our community to keep us informed and connected. Our next Town Council must support and broaden their efforts in support of that. Good com-munication is and will be critical to helping us all feel like we are part of this good place.Second, given our limit-ed resources and tax rate, we must be creative in pur-suing public/private part-nerships to protect our qual-ity of life and encourage the right kind of growth. We also must engage with the organizations that affect us, such as the NCDOT, Davie County, and even the State of North Carolina as well as nearby communities such as Mocksville, Clemmons and Winston-Salem. To do otherwise is being short-sighted.Third, we should build on our assets. We have a growing sports tourism presence, a river along our eastern boundary, and an increasing visibility for folks traveling in both di-rections along I-40. Finding ways to capitalize on those assets, rather than complain about them (or hope they will go away), is a key to our future.If given the opportuni-ty by my fellow residents, I look forward to helping our Town Council meet our challenges, and enjoying our delightful town, in the coming years. munication and ensuring all decisions are well thought out concerning the logis-tics and management of the growth of our town. I’ve always been a direct and candid communicator. If I learned one thing during my career in sales, if it sounds too good to be true – odds are it is too good to be true. The only way to make the best decisions for our town is by understand-ing the best and worst-case scenarios, which can only be done through proper research and planning and listening to our residents. If elected to Town Coun-cil, I won’t be afraid to ask the hard questions, listen to the concerns of the res-idents and insure we have transparent communication on future developments or initiatives.Are you pleased with con-tract for law enforcement with Davie Sherriff’s Of-fice? Please give details about what you think is working for the better-ment of the town, or what could be improved. Tedder: Yes, I am pleased with our contract with the Sherriff’s Office. The main purpose for hiring any sort of law enforcement is to increase public safety. My understanding is that dan-gerous and illegal activi-ty has been minimized by having a Sherriff’s Officer dedicated to our Town, which is a good thing for the residents.Other Issues Tedder: If you want to learn more about me and my platform, feel free to visit my website at tedder-4brtc.com.I’d appreciate your vote. Guthrie: Protect quality of life with creative ideas Tedder: Ensure the interests of residents a priority Nelson: Passion, time, experience to help shape era clude traffic (this is not just a matter of inconvenience, it is a safety issue), envi-ronmental considerations, and more.Addressing the Chal-lenge: As you probably know, zoning (e.g., the Zoning Ordinance doc-ument) dictates, in large part, how an application for development proceeds through the Development Process. Not every applica-tion ends up in front of the Town Council for a deci-sion. That being said, there are opportunities to be pro-active in communication and planning. The Zoning Ordinance document can be amended. And Mayor Cross and Mike Brannon are leading a first-ever Fu-ture Land Use initiative that, I believe, will serve the community well.Challenge: Communica-tion. I believe that the ma-jority of us feel positively about our Town. However, there is a disruptive (and potentially destructive) drumbeat of miscommu-nication as reflected in so-cial media and amplified in day-to-day conversations.Approach: I could write pages on this, but will (for now) offer a few sugges-tions for guiding principles.• Start with what we agree on – what unites us• Actively listen to each other – with open minds and respect and ask really good questions• Focus on facts (vs. misinformation)• Tie to the Compre-hensive Strategy – align strategic, operational, and tactical decisions, imple-mentation, and evaluation) • Proactively communi-cateI know that a lot more, in-depth conversations are taking place at Candidate Forums in our community and through other oppor-tunities.

DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Oct. 5, 2023 - 9 Why did you decide to seek public office?Wilson: I decided to seek public office because I love this community and I want to “give back”. My educa-tion and professional work experience has been in pub-lic management for local governments in North Caro-lina, therefore, I believe that serving on the Town Coun-cil is my best opportunity to serve. What do you think are the biggest challenges facing the town, and how do you intend to address those challenges? Wilson: The biggest chal-lenges facing the town are managing growth and pro-viding reliable infrastruc-ture. Managing growth is ob-viously a big challenge. We live in a very desirable place and developers will be anx-ious to develop any and all usable properties. The com-munity, as a whole, does not want to add large apartment complexes or other devel-opment that would increase traffic and negatively affect our quality of life. It is not as simple as passing a ban on certain types of develop-ment because there are le-gal, regulatory and fairness issues that must be consid-ered. In order to manage growth so that our quality of life is not diminished, the town council must be able to find solutions that will control growth without depriving property owners and devel-opers of their rights. My ed-ucation and previous local government experience will be beneficial in providing solutions for these compli-cated problems. The other major chal-lenge for our town is provid-ing reliable infrastructure. only other option for this type of service would be for the town to have its own police department. This would be very expensive to implement and many small towns are having problems hiring and keeping law en-forcement officers. I am not aware of any significant is-sues that would necessitate a change in this contract.Other IssuesWilson: As our town grows, we will be faced with many challenges. The role of a town coun-cil member is to listen to the citizens to determine what they want to achieve and then use their experience and knowledge of local gov-ernment rules, regulations, policies, and procedures, to address these challenges. The goal is to provide out-comes that are legal, fair, and acceptable to all the parties involved. We need a town council that has that experience and knowledge. I have over 40 years of experience work-ing in and with local gov-ernments in North Carolina.

I quickly found that I was not alone, in my concern, and that sit-ting idly by was no longer an option.What do you think are the biggest challenges facing the town, and how to you attend to address these challenges?Gilpin: Unwanted De-velopment - We need to re-review our zoning ordi-nances/town plan and do everything legally possible to discourage that develop-ment.Communication: We need to look for more effec-tive ways to obtain resident input, to make sure council decisions reflect the current desires of the majority.Possible increase in county property tax assess-ment: If this is to happen, we need to be prepared to The Candidate Name David Gilpin Age 57 Address Riverbend Dr. Family Serena Gilpin (spouse) Education Attended NMSU for architecture Occupation Work-from-home Computer Programmer/Ana- lyst; Design/develop/administer enterprise systems since 1986 In The Community • None so far effectively communicate to residents what the town op-tions are.Are you pleased with contracts for law en-forcement with the Davie County Sheriff’s Office? Please give details about what you think is work-ing for the betterment of the town, or what could be improved.Gilpin: I am not famil-iar with any existing is-sues, but I am concerned that the increase in density of development recently, is likely to cause issues in the future.Other IssuesGilpin: I am not a com-munity pillar or high-powered businessperson/politician. I am simply a tenacious resident who is unwilling to roll over and accept an unsavory fate. As a council member, it would be my duty to fight for the wishes of the majority of residents, regardless of my views/opinions or those of others in power. Wilson: Local government work and love for town The town is responsible for the maintenance of some, but not all, of the streets within the city limits. A plan needs to be developed and followed to resurface our streets in a timely manner, provide and maintain side-walks and walkways and keep our streets, sidewalks, and walking trails clean and safe. The town’s sewer system is the other major infrastruc-ture challenge. The town would like to give the sewer system to Davie County Utilities to own, operate and maintain in the same man-ner as the water system. However, Davie County will not take over owner-ship unless the system is in reasonable condition. Since parts of the existing sewer system are 50 years old, rehabilitation and/or upgrades will be needed. The town has received a $400,000 grant to identify and assess the condition of our sewer system. Upon completion of this work, the town will need to develop a Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) that will address the deficiencies. My previous experience in local govern-ment includes developing and implementing capital improvement plans. Are you pleased with con-tracts for law enforcement with the Davie County Sheriff’s Office? Please give details about what you think is working for the betterment of the town, or what could be im-proved. Wilson: I am very pleased with the contract for law enforcement with the Davie County Sheriff’s office. Of-ficer Mike Foster has been accessible, friendly, and responsive in every situa-tion that I am aware of. The ment Municipal Adminis-tration Course, I learned about the rules and regula-tions that both empower and restrict local government’s authority. As an employee of the Town of Granite Falls, NC, I developed an understand-ing of how government works in the real world. As a department head for the City of Newton, NC, I experienced working with citizens, contractors, busi-ness owners, town staff, and town councils. As a managerial special-ist with NC Rural Water Association, I provided technical, financial, and managerial assistance to lo-cal governments in North Carolina. I believe that my expe-rience and knowledge of local government has pro-vided me the skills that are necessary to be an advocate for the citizens of Bermuda Run as an effective member of the Bermuda Run Town Council. I hope you will vote for me in the runoff election on Oct. 10 and in the general election on Nov. 7.

Please give details about what you think is working for the betterment of the town, or what could be im-proved. Nelson: Based on ongo-ing conversations and on the information I read, there is a high level of satisfaction with the contracts with the Davie County Sheriff’s Of-fice, particularly regarding the community policing program. I know I always feel supported and safer when I see the patrol car in our neighborhood and Of-ficer Mike Foster always waves with a smile. In 2017, the Town Coun-cil gave approval (a 3-2 margin) for our first com-munity policing program. In November 2022, the Coun-cil voted unanimously for a 5 year extension. This evo-lution to a unanimous vote is one indicator of the strong support for the contract, the Sherriff’s office and – in particular – for the dedicat-ed officers who have served our community since 2017.Officer Mike Foster is patrolling the streets and venues, present at events, and always keeping an eye out for the safety of our citi-zens. I know we all appre-ciate the wealth of training and experience that our Of-ficer brings to serve us each day. We may not be aware of the calls he takes and inter-actions (often preventative) he handles. I assume that these can be with assistance from other elements of the Sherrif’s Office. And there is the communication he of-fers such as this message in the June 2022 Town of Ber-muda Run news email:“Message from Com-munity Officer Mike Fos-ter: The speed limit in all neighborhoods of Bermuda Run - behind the gates, and in Kinderton Village is 25 mph. Traffic laws are be-ing enforced. This includes speeding and running stop signs. Warmer weather is here, and more people are out and about walking, rid-ing bikes. Etc. Please be safe and watch out for oth-ers.” Proactive communica-tion makes a difference!The estimated cost for the community policing program for 2022-23 is $93,337. This includes sal-ary/benefits for a full-time dedicated officer, vehicle, equipment and gas. This appears to be a solid invest-ment in the safety, security, and peace of mind of our residents.Other Issues Nelson: Thank you for the opportunity to describe my platform as a candi-date for the Town Council of Bermuda Run. I believe that the town is at a pivotal moment in its history, with incredible opportunities ahead. Our commitment to responsible development, preserving our Town’s unique and vibrant charac-ter, and enhancing the qual-ity of life will be central to our success for current and future residents. As a can-didate, I offer a wealth of experience and a dedication to ensuring a prosperous fu-ture (in several meanings of the word) for the Town of Bermuda Run.Responsible Development and Preserving Our Char-acter • Comprehensive Plan. I pledge to uphold and advance the principles and objectives outlined in the Town of Bermuda Run Comprehensive Plan, which includes input from a pub-lic survey and community meetings. This recognizes that the Plan is a living document that can (and has) been amended.• Dynamic Zoning. The Town’s Zoning Ordi-nance document (adopted September 13, 2005 and as amended through February 8, 2022) is also a living doc-ument. It has been amend-ed more than 35 times. I strongly support the Town’s first-ever Future Land Use initiative being led by May-or Cross and Councilman Mike Brannon. Stay tuned on this one!• Collaboration. I will work closely with our community, businesses, governments at all levels, and other strategic partners to support and implement our shared vision for Ber-muda Run’s growth. Col-laboration helps ensure that interests or all stakeholders are considered.• Long-Term Plan-ning. I have had multiple conversations that begin – and end – with long term planning questions. What are the implications for traffic? Environmental con-siderations? Schools? Busi-nesses? The type of devel-opment we do, or should, attract? I know of too many communities that didn’t make long-term planning a primary factor. There are lesson to be learned and we can – and will – be ahead of the curve.Experience and Fiscal Re-sponsibility• Proven Track Record. My experience in working with strategic planning and implementa-tion, finding solutions (not just solving problems), and leadership lessons from service at The White House and U.S. Chamber of Commerce (among other professional experiences), I believe, will contribute to representing citizens of Bermuda Run on the Town Council, if elected.• Zero-Based Bud-geting, I support Mike Brannon’s proposed zero-based budgeting approach, which means every invest-ment/expenditure is justi-fied based on best-practice prioritization, necessity, effectiveness, and includes long-term considerations. The Responsibilities of a Town Council Member – Representation and Ac-countability• Representing Our Citi-zens. If elected, my fore-most duty will be to repre-sent the interests, concerns, and ideas of the citizens of Bermuda Run.• Responsible Decision- Making. Council members are responsible and ac-countable for the decisions made. This means decision-making that follows the stat-ed process, aligns with the Comprehensive Plan, and adheres to the Zoning Ordi-nance document as well as other laws, regulations, best practices, and ethical con-siderations.• Proactive Listening and Communication. Council members have an obligation to proactively communicate – and even more proactively listen – every step of the way. This can involve some creative and positive initia- tives – virtual meetings, more community Q & A sessions, brainstorming to-gether about creative ways to communicate within and outside our community. And focusing on the facts to counter misinformation and disinformation.Personal and Professional CommitmentThe Town of Bermuda is entering an important era and I am eager to work to help shape its future. I have the time and passion to make serving on the Town Council a personal and pro-fessional priority. Thank you for your consideration. Nelson ...

All eligible high school gradu-ates, regardless of financial need or academic ability, can continue their education and career training.Lipscomb got a head start on her college educa-tion by taking NC Career and College Promise dual enrollment classes begin-ning her junior year at Da-vie High. During her senior year, she earned her certified nursing assistant (CNA) and EMT certifications through a program between Davie High and DDCC. She learned about IGNITE DAVIE from her college instructors, who pointed out that the program allowed students to concentrate on classwork rather than focus-ing on how to pay for their education. “I had already taken most of the classes needed to complete my associ-ate's degree, and I knew the paramedic program was Job ... In June, Davie County was one of 10 communities across the country to receive the All-America City/Coun-ty award from the National Civic League. Show pride by wearing a limited-edition Davie Coun-ty All-America County t-shirt.When the All-America delegation returned home from Denver, numerous people asked about purchas-ing one of their “We Are Davie” team t-shirts. Although those shirts were created for the com-petition team, Davie High Drafting Instructor Will Marrs has designed an All-America County t-shirt for the community as a fund-raiser for the four youth pro-grams featured in the award application.The heather blue shirt features the red, white, and blue All-America emblem and the team’s competi-tion slogan, “We Are Davie County!” The shirts come in adult small through 2x. The shirts are $20 each, and only 500 were printed. In order for the maximum Celebrate and help youth groups Davie 2023 All America County t-shirts available amount of money to go to youth programs, cash only is being accepted. The shirts can be purchased at:• Bermuda Run Town Hall, 120 Kinderton Blvd., Suite 100, Bermuda Run, Monday-Friday, 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m.;• Davie County Chamber of Commerce, 135 S.

Main St., Mocks-ville, Tuesday-Friday, 10 a.m.-6 p.m., Saturday, 10 a.m.-4 p.m.County Manager Brian Barnett expressed his grati-tude to Marrs, Gildan, and UTA Sports for supporting the campaign and making the shirts possible.“The proceeds from your donated t-shirts will be used to support the four youth organizations that helped bring home the 2023 All-America County Award (Ig-nite Davie College Prom- ise, SURF Board Student Grantmakers, Davie High’s Career and Technical Edu-cation Program (CTE), and Brooklyn Lakey, who represented the SURF Board during the All-America competition in Denver, shows off the All-America t-shirt now for sale at Bermuda Run Town Hall, Davie Chamber, Foster Drug, and Southern Ties Boutique. the Davie Respect Initiative. “It’s so great to see the com-munity coming together to demonstrate how great a place Davie County can be,” Barnett said. “We hope that everyone will support our youth by purchasing these shirts and wearing them with pride. “Because - We are Davie County.” only two years. So, when I learned that IGNITE DA-VIE would cover the cost, I jumped at the opportuni-ty. Some of my paramedic books cost $200 to $300 a piece, so the book stipend was really helpful, too.” A self-professed “home-body,” Lipscomb said she likely would have gone to DDCC or Forsyth Tech anyway, but the tuition as-sistance and book stipend from IGNITE DAVIE to at-tend DDCC made it an easy decision. “I knew going into col-lege that I would be respon-sible for paying for it. My parents told me they would help me if I needed it, but I am very independent and didn’t want to rely on them to pay for my education. “IGNITE DAVIE made it possible for me to get my associate's degree and paramedic certification on my own without incurring debt.” Given her 24-hour work shifts followed by 72 hours off, Lipscomb opted for a hybrid program that permit-ted her to continue working full-time while pursuing her paramedic certification. She attended classes online during the week and dedi-cated every other weekend to hands-on skills training and clinicals. This addi-tional training equipped her to perform more advanced medical procedures, such as administering oral and intravenous medications, monitoring electrocardio-grams (EKG), and perform-ing intubations. "Balancing a full-time job and coursework could be challenging at times, but both my EMS administra-tive staff and instructors were incredibly supportive, working with me to ensure I could accomplish every-thing," Lipscomb said.“I would encourage other students to take the dual en-rollment classes during their junior and senior years and definitely take advantage of IGNITE DAVIE. Even if they want to go to a four-year program, they can get their prerequisites out of the way at DDCC and then focus on their major. They could save thousands of dol-lars.” Ashley Lipscomb is one of many students who have benefited from IGNITE DA-VIE, but none of this would be possible without contri- butions. Once permanently en-dowed, it is designed to benefit business owners, teachers, parents of elemen-tary schoolers, grandpar-ents, students who want to work with their hands, first-generation college students, and students who wish to at-tend a 4-year university.To make IGNITE DA- VIE sustainable, the Davie Community Foundation is helping raise the final $1 million of the $3 million endowment goal. Once achieved, itwill provide an-nual earnings to cover pro-gram costs indefinitely.To add support, visit Da-vieFoundation.org/donate and select IGNITE DAVIE from the dropdown list. *Annual Percentage Yield (APY) effective as of the publication date.

For thou art my hope, O Lord God: thou art my trust from my youth.(Psalm 71:5) DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Oct. 5, 2023 - 11 Bless Your Spoon By Stephanie Williams Dean When walking through an apple orchard, there’s a feeling of connection with the ground and what’s born from it – a simple grounding to the dirt. Whether harvesting home garden vegetables, gathering blue-berries from bushes in a meadow, or pluck-ing apples from your backyard tree – the feeling is authentic and primal. These experiences make up a few of the most pleasurable moments in life.When you can walk outdoors, pick fruit from a tree, and sink your front teeth into its juicy flesh – it’s so self-satisfying. There’s almost a sense of art in the handpicking of a bushel of apples – and then prepar-ing and baking a delicious, home-made apple grunt, bread, or layered cake in your oven. When you gather at the kitchen ta-ble and share such deliciousness with family – these simple acts take pleasure to a new level.Apple season is upon us, and I fcouldn’t be hap-pier. Foods sym-bolize the bounty of harvest time. It never feels like I’ve experienced the season of fall unless I’ve spent time in an orchard. Any-time I can handpick a basket of fresh, sweet heirloom fruits – it's worth a road trip to get there. But if you can’t make the trip – you can find a delightful assortment of apples at your local farmer’s market. The apple is a favorite fruit – it’s just so versatile. For culinary inspirations, look no further than a pottery bowl filled with shiny green and red apples on your table. As the new season takes command of our kitchens – we begin to move from sum-mer’s quick and easy meals to the slow-cooked, hot foods of fall. But whoa – hold on – don’t completely abandon summer, yet. Just when you thought salad season was over – surprise! You can still enjoy your savory greens with slices of autumn’s Autumn’s harvest is a hands-on pleasure sweet, fresh fruit.God’s message in Isaiah 65:8 shows us that one bad apple doesn’t always ruin a whole bushel – there are still plenty of good apples left. “As when juice is still found in a cluster of grapes and men say, ‘Don’t destroy it, there is yet some good in it’.” (NIV)What God means is that even if some folks aren’t living in a Godly way and act-ing more like hypocrites – we should not ignore or reject anyone. Let’s be who we are while continuing to share the gospel. Let us not think in terms of good vs. bad apples – as a bruise doesn’t always sully an entire apple, either – there’s still some good fruit flesh. And there’s always hope – so let’s focus on sharing and winning souls. Many bruised folks have a deep need for God in their lives – and are actively search-ing. Let us walk with them and be like a healing salve to their Spirit and that of a guiding light to their path.

DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Oct. 5, 2023 - B1Sports By Brian PittsEnterprise Record When Davie’s football team has the ball, its offense smells like an amusement park, a backyard bar-becue and PE class all at once. It seems like every time we look up, quarterback Ty Miller is connect-ing with one of his potent weapons or Markel Summers is plowing through the teeth of the defense. The explosive offense produced touchdowns on eight of 12 pos-sessions last Friday as the visiting War Eagles turned a matchup against Reagan that was consid-ered critical in their quest to retain a share of first place into a rout. Davie riding longest win streak in 7 years One week after an epic win over East Forsyth, the War Eagles took another huge step with a 54-41 win over Reagan. Their dominance is not reflected in the score as Davie allowed 21 points in the last 5:14 after carving out a 48-20 lead with 5:30 remaining in the fourth quarter. Miller has delivered virtually every game for two seasons, but he’s been crazy hot the past two weeks. Against East and Reagan, the senior completed - ready for this? - 38 of 59 passes for 690 yards, tossing seven touch-downs against one interception. In Pfafftown, he hit 18 of 25 for 369 yards and four TDs. What’s more, he’s also burned the past two opponents with his legs. After only rushing 20 times for 50 yards in the first four games, he ran 12 times for 101 yards against East/Reagan. “Best quarterback in the CPC,” receiver Ethan Driver said mat-ter-of-factly. “Our plan was to execute and not get too emotional,” the stoic Miller said. Even though Davie has rung up 60, 32, 47, 41 and 54 points during the longest winning streak (five) in seven seasons, even though Davie already has more wins than it to-taled in 2022 when it finished 4-7, there was not a raucous celebration after this one. Coach Tim Dever- icks had some things to address. One of them was giving up 14 points in a span of 32 seconds at the end, but that wasn’t all. “I don’t think it was our best performance,” he said. “When we execute we can be a really good team, but we left some things out there. Like I tried to tell them at the end, little things that we’re not do-ing right will cost us down the line. We had some missed assignments up front. I know everyone sees (the 54 points), but little things are what I’m concerned about. I’m not taking away from what we did tonight, but the ending just kind of leaves a sour taste when we have a chance to salt the game away.” Although the defense allowed 30 first downs and 607 total yards, it continued to get the job done when it mattered most. On the game’s first possession, Reagan went for it on fourth-and-9 from the Davie 30. QB Jacob Smith swung it out to running back Aar-on Gutierrez, who had one man to beat in his attempt to move the chains. But freshman linebacker Elijah Chaffin chased him down and pushed him out of bounds three yards short. The momentum from Chaffin’s big stop snowballed when Davie’s offense went 76 yards on its first By Brian PittsEnterprise Record In the first meeting in late August, East Forsyth’s volleyball team handed Davie a stinging loss that saw the War Eagles take the first two sets before dropping the last three. All was forgiven in Kerners-ville on Sept. 26. Davie emphat-ically handled business, winning 27-25, 25-27, 25-18, 25-17. The payback win kept Davie tied with West Forsyth for second in the Central Piedmont Conference. “The first match that we played them was a tough pill to swallow,” coach Amber Brandon said. “It’s something our kids, especially the seniors, still haven’t gotten over. It’s still talked about a lot in practice, so I felt like we were going to be dialed in.”Pulling out the first set was huge, and the signature moment belonged to sophomore Addison McKay. “She came in completely cold when the score was tied 25-25,” Brandon said. “Her first serve of the game was an ace, which was huge for us to get that momentum point right there at the end. It was a big play for her. We could not have drawn up a better serve in that moment. It was beautiful.”There was plenty to be excited about as Davie stopped a five-match losing streak in the series. Junior Emma Willard had 18 digs and senior Hailey Johnson 10. Senior Mikaylah Hutton paced Davie in kills (25) and aces (four). And senior Lauren O’Connor pro-duced 37 assists, seven digs and three aces. “A couple of Emma’s digs were at pretty big times,” Brandon said. “She picked one out of the back row when the first set was pretty tight. That was a big momen-tum-changer for us. “Hailey was great in the third and fourth sets. Her defensive play is what gave us momentum and spread the (margins). “Mikaylah had a really good night. She is carrying a huge load. She is a six-rotation pin. She’s hav-ing to carry a lot of the offensive load, even on the back row, with Malia (Privett) being hurt. “Lauren had a great game. Any time she has a really good game, we’re always going to be success-ful. She played well defensively. Those four had solid games, which was the difference for us.”Reagan 3, Davie 0Reagan has completely over-matched everyone - the unbeaten Raiders have lost one set all year - and the match at Davie on Sept. 28 was no different. Reagan rose to 24-0 overall and 10-0 in the CPC by putting up scores of 25-11, 25-15, 25-15 against the War Eagles, who saw their winning streak end at four. Going into the week, West Forsyth (8-2) was a half-game ahead of Davie (7-3), but Davie and West collide in Clemmons on Oct. 5 to determine second. Davie is 11-5 overall.

They hit hard and can play any position in the field. They are leading by example to teach the younger players how to hit the ball and make good throws. Aydan Shay of the intermediate Braves brought his game to the mound, striking out 7 of 11 batters. He went 4 for 4 at the plate and led his team to the win in its first game. He is fun to watch, knows the game inside and out and loves every minute of being on the field. Sylas Campanella of the machine pitch Marlins was playing third for the first time and made one of the best plays his coach has seen. A ball was hit on a rope down the base line, and Sylas backhanded the ball behind third and threw it on a dime to first, helping to propel his team. Sylas is hard-working and does his best every play. Clark Danz of the machine pitch Dia- mondbacks had an amazing night with a huge hit bringing home three runs. He also did great in the field and is a true asset to the team. Davie American Little League Player Spotlights North Carolina may have another world-re-cord fish to brag about – of course, if you can brag about a fish you never knew existed.The N.C. Division of Marine Fisheries has an-nounced its first state-re-cord puddingwife wrasse, a fish that will likely break the all-tackle world record.Connor Stone of South-port caught the 3-pound, 11-ounce fish while bot-tom-fishing off his home port on July 27. The In-ternational Game Fish As-sociation lists a 3-pound, 8-ounce fish caught off Key West, Fla., in 2003 as its all-tackle world record. According to NCDMF, Stone plans to apply for the record.The record fish was 18 inches long and 13 inch-es in girth. Stone caught it on a Fiblink Signature rod and Fin-Nor LTC16h reel spooled with 50-pound braid. He was using squid for bait.If you’ve never heard Connor Stone of Southport caught this potential world-record puddingwife wrasse on July 27 out of his home port. The fish weighed 3 pounds, 11 ounces, 3 ounces heavier than the existing world record. of a puddingwife wrasse before, don’t feel bad. It’s a reef fish normally found from shallow water out to about 30 fathoms, and North Carolina is the ex-treme northern edge of its range, which extends south to Brazil.Seasons closeThe season for flounder in coastal water and moun-tain trout in delayed-har-vest streams is over.Catch-and-release fish-ing is still good in the de-layed-harvest waters, as long as anglers use artificial lures with a single hook. Delayed-harvest waters will be heavily stocked with fish through the fall, winter and spring before the 2024 keeper season opens.Zebra musselsIf having Chronic Wast- ing Disease show up in North Carolina’s white-tailed deer herd wasn’t enough, now we may have to deal with zebra mussels, according to the N.C. Wild-life Resources Commis-sion.The commission an-nounced that zebra mus-sels, a harmful, invasive species, have been found in the wild in North Carolina for the first time – in a body of water in Iredell County.On Thursday, Sept. 21, the commission got help from scuba divers with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Ser-vice to collect and confirm a report of zebra mussels in a quarry on private prop-erty in Iredell County. The commission said it believes the mussels are contained in the quarry and is explor- ing options for treatment of that body of water.Zebra mussels are pro-lific breeders that can move between bodies of water by attaching themselves to boats, motors, boat lifts on docks or other equip-ment regularly used in the water. They can move be-tween water through div-ing equipment, livewells, bait bucks, boat bilges and other gear, the vommission reported.Zebra mussels are small, freshwater mussels native to Russia and Ukraine that have been accidentally introduced to other areas around the world. Since the 1980s, they have been found in the Great Lakes, Hudson River and Lake Travis in Texas.If established in a body of water, they can quickly take over the environment, disrupting the food chain and endangering other spe-cies, changing the chem-istry of a body of water. They can also clog public drinking and wastewater systems and damage other recreational equipment.To prevent the spread of zebra mussels, the com-mission advises cleaning all equipment of all aquatic plants, animals and mud, to drain all water from boats, livewells and bait buckets, to dry all equipment thor-oughly, and never to move fish, plants or other organ-isms between bodies of water. South boys tennis 6-0 South Davie’s boys tennis team entered the week at 6-0, and coach Andy Soots is thrilled with the process. “These young men have made tremendous growth this year,” he said. Team captain/No. 1 seed William Martin added: “We’ve come a long way in the past few years. We have won more matches this year than we did in my sixth- or seventh-grade seasons. We just keep getting better and working hard.” South girls tennis beats North South Davie’s girls tennis team beat North Davie 7-2.

The next difference-mak-er on defense was lineman Matty Warner. Reagan was quickly in Davie territory because of Jaylen Moore’s 40-yard run. On second-and-goal from the 4, Warner corralled Moore and limited him to two yards. On the next play, Warner blasted through the Reagan line like a wrecking ball and nailed Moore. The lightning-quick Moore stayed on his feet, but he was stoned by a host of Warner’s friends, a play that went for minus-7 and forced Reagan to settle for a 25-yard field goal and a 7-3 deficit. “Matty is a relentless-ef-fort guy,” Devericks said. “He just keeps giving and giving and giving and mak-ing plays.”“That had me so hyped,” safety Connor Hood said. “Matty is my boy. I love Matty. He works hard every day.”“I was just ready for the moment,” Warner said. “I stayed low, kept my ground and watched the ball.”Davie’s first offensive se-ries gave everyone a glimpse of what was to come. On its second series, Davie only needed 87 seconds and five plays to move 80 yards. The TD was a miraculous, slid-ing catch in the back of the end zone by Grey Deal, who has gone from Mr. Backup to Mr. Wonderful since the East game. After having seven catches for 73 yards in the first four games, he’s accumulated 11 for 191 and three TDs over the past two. After Deal put his team ahead 14-3, the defense did its part. On first down, Hood jumped a route and knocked down a pass. On second down, lineman Trey’von Doulin buried Moore five yards behind the line. On third down, Doulin dove and tripped up Smith to record a 6-yard sack. “They had an H-back and a tackle trying to chip Trey’von and roll the quar-terback out,” Devericks said. “But he did a great job of keeping his hat outside and keeping contain. It was awesome.”Davie punted early in the second quarter. Reagan con-verted on fourth-and-5 from the Davie 26 and things were about to get tense when Gutierrez caught a pass on second-and-6 from the Davie 7. But safety Eli Branham met Gutier-rez at the 2-yard line. The ball came out and Davie’s Landon Barber recovered the fumble in the end zone for a touchback. “We were running man coverage and my guy ran a whip route,” Branham said. “It was my guy, so I had to make a play on him.

It was a big team play.”Instead of Reagan poten-tially drawing within 14-10, it was still 14-3 and the ball was now in the hands of the scorching hot Miller, who covered 80 yards in the blink of an eye. Brad-dock Coleman took a slant pass 37 yards and Summers broke off a 43-yard TD run to create 21-3 gap. “We’re just dogs,” Driver said. “Everybody is dogs.”Reagan stormed 72 yards in 1:29 to cut the margin to 21-10, but it’s absurd how quickly Davie can answer. Miller found Leon Brad-shaw for 20 yards, with a 15-yard penalty for a late hit tacked on. After Coleman hauled in an 11-yard pass, a wide-open Driver scored on a 21-yard play as the home-coming crowd fell silent. It was 28-13 at halftime. In the second half, the de-fense came up with anoth-er game-changing stop on fourth down and Miller and Co. continued to pick apart the Raiders. On fourth-and-1 from the Davie 31, Smith handed off to Moore (36-277 rushing), who is crazy good for a sophomore. But Chaffin and Warner stacked up Moore for no gain. On the next play, Miller lofted a deep ball. Driver (6-151 receiving) somehow pulled the ball in - for a gain of 39 - with a defensive back hanging all over him. The sophomore receiv-er had another dominant night. Driver and Deal (5-89) scored twice each and Driver turned in his fourth 100-yard game in six tries. “Ethan’s a stud,” Miller said. “He’s going to be real-ly good the next two years.”“We come down and the ball’s in my lap,” Driver said. “I was trying to pull his arms away and bat it down. I just came down with it.”Driver’s spectacular play sparked a 69-yard march that only required 75 sec-onds and pushed the lead to 34-13. Reagan stayed alive by scoring a little over two minutes later, but Davie’s offense would rip off three more TDs before the night was done. Miller shook a defender and completed a 43-yard bomb to Evan York. Four plays later, Deal caught one over the middle and juked his way to a 32-yard score that capped a 91-yard drive in 2:40. “The first thing I saw was the defensive end coming off the edge and right at me,” Miller said of the pass to York. “I got my head back around and I saw Evan run-ning down the field.”The next time Davie got the ball, Miller showed his versatility by running around right end for 19 yards to the Reagan 1. Sum-mers scored from there to make it 48-20 with 6:39 to play. Davie’s eighth TD was set up by Driver’s 39-yard reception at the Reagan 1. For the game, Davie rolled up 604 yards with-out committing a turnover. Summers had a monster performance with 180 rush-ing yards and three TDs, raising his total against East/Reagan to 332. Miller’s 369 yards are tied for 10th in the Davie single-game record book. He averaged 14.7 yards per pass attempt, and for good measure, he added 52 rushing yards. Oh wait, there’s more: The o-line of Evan Froe-lich, Evan Copeland, Ryder Strickland, Kevin Lazaro and Jalen Alexander has allowed one sack on 59 pass plays against East/Reagan. Meanwhile, the defense continued to blossom before things got sloppy at the end. Davie got a turnover on downs at its 11-yard line with 9:36 to go and another one at the Reagan 24 with 7:14 left. The Raiders only managed two TDs on their first 10 possessions, they failed on eight of 13 third-down conversions and were turned back on four of five fourth-down tries. A week earlier, East also went 1 for 5 when it went for it on fourth down. Smith threw for 320 yards, but Davie limited the chunk plays. Twenty-three of his 25 completions yield-ed no more than 17 yards. “(Moore) is extremely hard to tackle one-on-one,” Devericks said. “He fights for every yard. Our defense just kept swarming to the ball, and we made some great open-field tackles.” Hood (20 tackles, 11 solos, three pass breakups) played brilliantly. The rest of the tackle leaders were Chaffin (12), Branham (11), Zander Richardson (seven) and Warner (six). “Connor filled the alley one time and made a phe-nomenal play on (Moore),” Devericks said. “He’s a very coachable kid and he’s soak-ing up everything coach Nic (Blaine Nicholson) is telling him. He’s communicating to other guys on the back end. He’s really worked hard at making the correct reads and getting to where he needs to be.”“The offense gives us scout every week,” Hood said. “We just put that work in and we do what we’ve got to do.”Opponents are averag-ing one TD pass per game, which constitutes major progress over the past two years when Davie surren-dered 27 and 18 scores through the air. “We’ve got more ex-perience, more chemistry together and we trust each other a lot more,” Branham said. “We’re a lot more fo-cussed on making sure what happened a bunch last year doesn’t happen.” Notes: The Raiders are the best 1-5 team you’ll find. They’ve lost to Mooresville (14-13 score), East For-syth (29-21) and Grimsley. Those three and Davie are a combined 22-2. ... Davie (5-1, 3-0 CPC) is riding the longest winning streak since taking 10 in a row in 2016. ... This was another flip-the-script moment for the War Eagles, who lost to West Rowan, East Forsyth and Reagan in 2022. Reagan belted Davie 52-14 and 41-21 the past two years. ... Da-vie travels to Mt. Tabor Fri-day night at 7:30. Although the Spartans (2-4) are 0-3 in the CPC, they’re nothing to mess around with. They’ve suffered consecutive one-point losses (29-28 to Reyn-olds, 21-20 to East Forsyth). You can bet Devericks will warn his boys all week about not taking the cheese. “I’m proud of the guys, but we’re not going to stop coaching just because (we’re win-ning),” he said. “For us to get to where we want to go, we have to have that fire in our belly and have that same hunger (for four quarters).” ...

Speller had a huge perfor-mance while scoring three touchdowns, all on passes from Draeton Nance. Nance, of course, is a big reason the Tigers (4-3) climbed over .500 with back-to-back wins. The quarterback was involved in all four TDs, including one on a run. “Tyrone showed up on offense, especially in the passing game,” coach Ger-main Mayfield said. “He caught everything and made plays after the catch. He ran it well, too. That was the difference.”After trailing 18-0 at halftime, North scored on a pass from Levi Morales to Edarius Oliver. Jeremiah Hernandez prevented South from extending the lead even more by intercepting two passes in the end zone.Notes: The fourth straight loss dropped North to 3-4. ...

None of the other three sophomores play six rota-tions, so there’s no one that has a year of high school experience that is always on the court. “At the beginning of the season, I felt like we were still a middle school team, trying to figure out the pace and the style of high school VB ... While the varsity soccer team is struggling, Davie’s JV is giving fans something to cheer about. When the War Eagles of Scott McBain raced past visiting Parkland 6-2 on Sept. 25, they notched a fifth victory for the first time since going 5-14-2 in 2018. The 5-5 record to that point was significant because the JV went 2-51-4 over the pre-vious four seasons. Not only do they have the most wins in five years, the offensive outburst against the Mus- By Brian PittsEnterprise Record For most of the night, Davie’s JV football team went toe-to-toe with visit-ing Reagan on Sept. 28, but ultimately the War Eagles could not quite keep up on a day when they committed three turnovers. The Raiders pulled away in the fourth quarter to take a 41-32 de-cision. “We had a lot of mis-cues,” offensive coordinator Matt Gould said. “We had three turnovers and multiple dropped passes.”“We definitely missed some opportunities,” JV coach Spencer Pasciolla said. “We had small mental errors that can be cleaned up for sure with the talent that this group has. It’s will we do it; not can we do it.”After Davie took a 6-0 lead into the second quar-ter, Reagan surged in front 21-12. Jamarius Pelote re-sponded with a touchdown on an 88-yard kickoff return, and a successful two-point play pulled Davie within By Brian PittsEnterprise Record A little over a year after Callie Wisecarver experi-enced a typical debut for a first-year golfer - a 71 at Pine Knolls on Aug. 22, 2022 - she posted a 48 at Oak Valley on Sept. 25. It’s the stuff sports dreams are made of. “It felt great to break 50,” Wisecarver said. “I’ve been trying to get there the last few matches. Seeing how much I have improved over just a year shocks me.”Wisecarver did not play Davie golf as a freshman.

When Davie hosted West Forsyth on Sept. 27, there was a blockbuster matchup at No. 1 singles. Newsome came in 0-4 in her career against the CPC’s three-time singles champion and 34-1 against everyone else. Newsome pushed McEachran to the brink but came up short - 6-3, 3-6, 8-10. Despite her first loss in 12 matches as a junior, Newsome showed she can hang with the McEachran. And she showed the gap’s not as wide as it once was. As a freshman, Newsome Newsome pushes CPC’s best to the brink lost to McEachran twice by the same scores (6-0, 6-2). Last year Newsome lost the matchup 6-3, 6-1 and 7-6, 6-4. And when they met last week, it was a classic battle. As far as the team score, Davie overmatched the Ti-tans 8-1. “It was the best player playing the next-best play-er in the conference, and it lived up to everything it was supposed to be,” coach Collin Ferebee said. “Elliot came out ready to go. We won the first set and we were like: ‘Is she going to do it?’ Just like that, Sam flipped a switch. She’s the best player in the conference right now and she won the second set. Elliot played well, Sam just played better. Then they went to a tiebreaker. It was 8-8 and then Sam won the last two points. It was as close as it could possibly be.“Elliot absolutely is clos-ing the gap. She has worked her tail off since her fresh-man year.”While Newsome dropped a heartbreaker, the rest of the match was all Davie. Corbin Drum (6-0, 6-1), Bailey Aderhold (6-0, 6-3), Leah Gibson (6-0, 6-0), Ali Cranfill (6-0, 6-0) and Gabby Thompson (6-0, 6-0) made fast work of the Titans from Nos. 2-6 singles, as did Drum/Gibson (8-0) and Cranfill/Thompson (8-0) in doubles. Newsome got a measure of redemption in doubles, teaming with Aderhold to pull out an 8-6 decision over McEachran/Kara Mc- Lelland. “A special shout-out to Gabby,” Ferebee said. “I looked over and she was walking off the court. It was Laura Becker levels (of dominance). I was super impressed with Gab.”Davie 8, WF 1One day later in Clem-mons, the War Eagles whipped West by the same score. Newsome faced McEachran again, but this time the Titan won comfort-ably (6-3, 6-2). “Elliot played really well, it just didn’t happen,” Ferebee said. “We haven’t decided what our conference tournament lineup is going to be. If Elliot plays singles, I have a feeling we’re going to see one more showdown this season.” Drum, Aderhold, Cran-fill, Thompson and Casey Cao clinched victory in sin-gles. Cao got the nod at No. 6 and the sophomore ran her record to 5-0 in spot duty. “I let Casey have another shot at six,” Ferebee said. “I wanted her to get more match experience because I see her as a big part of the future.”There was a hard-fought battle at No. 1 doubles. Newsome/Aderhold faced a 7-6 deficit, but they were marvelous at money time, prevailed 9-7 over McEachran/McLelland and pushed their doubles record to 8-0. “It was a barnburner,” Ferebee said. “In almost pitch black darkness, they turned it around and won. We were four points away from losing. We were ecstat-ic to have that turnaround, especially against a team like West’s No. 1 doubles.”Drum/Gibson won 8-4 at No. 2 doubles, and soph-omores Victoria McFarlin/Ada Wallace played to-gether for the first time and romped 8-2 at No. 3. “(McFarlin and Wallace) got a huge win,” he said. “We were really proud of them for that.”Notes: Davie played three matches in four days, starting with a 9-0 home win over Mt. Tabor. ... Davie has beaten West six straight times. ... Riding a five-match winning streak, Davie (12-1, 11-1 CPC) has all but clinched the regular-season championship. Wisecarver savors season-best round hole matches in 2022, with a season-best 57 at Salem Glen last October. In the first five matches of her junior year, Wise-carver averaged 53.6, with a season-best 51 at Wilshire. She took her game to a new level at Oak Valley, shooting a 12-over 48, or six strokes better than her score in an earlier outing at Oak Valley. Going from the 65.5 sophomore mark to 52.6 as a junior is no small thing. “It’s been her goal to get under 50,” coach Bob Donley said. “She has really worked hard. She’s been dedicated to her practice routine. She takes lessons. She works at Colin Creek. I mean she’s sort of consumed with golf. It was really a good thing to see her finally reach that goal. I was happy to see her hard work pay off.”Wisecarver accom-plished the mission by par-ring or bogeying five of nine holes. “And she shot 48 on what is arguably the hardest course in the CPC,” Donley said. “She told me before the round that she felt like today was the day that she was going to break 50.“Consistent ball striking is the thing that has im-proved the most. When she hits it in the middle of the clubface ... she’s a strong young lady and she’s as long as anybody out there. She’s out there at 200-plus (yards) off the tee. And her putting has gotten better as well.”Wisecarver knew a mag-ical moment was a possi-bility when she approached No. 3, her eighth hole of the day. But put her poten-tial milestone in jeopardy by double-bogeying. That meant she needed at least a bogey on No. 4. “I will admit I was so nervous,” she said. “(That double bogey) is when the pressure hit me.”But on No. 4, Wisecarv-er blasted her drive in the fairway, hit the green in regulation, two-putted for par and basked in a dream ending. “As I was approaching the tee box, my heart started beating really fast and I kept thinking to myself that I have to have a good tee shot for this to go smoothly,” she said. “The group in front of me was taking awhile, so I sat there and prayed to par that hole. I hit my tee shot like normal and hit it right down the fairway. I landed about 50 yards from the green and I was able to get it around 15 feet away with my 56-degree. I was really nervous about putting be-cause my putting has been awful the last few days. But luckily I slowed down, took my time, analyzed the green and two-putted it. “Right after I finished my round, I got a text from my coach congratulating me, and that’s when it really set in that I had accomplished something.”Meanwhile, the War Ea-gles as a whole enjoyed their finest day of the season. After finishing fourth or fifth in the first five Central Pied-mont Conference meets, they achieved third place (West Forsyth 118, Reagan 121, Davie 147, Reynolds 157, Mt. Tabor 158). Kate Sakai (48) matched Wisecarver’s effort by re-cording par or bogey on six holes. The junior broke 50 for the third time in a row and the fourth time in five matches. Senior Sophia Gar-za turned in a season-best 51. 21-20. Davie made it 14 unanswered points - to lead 26-21 - before the first half ended. Reagan, though, closed the game with a 20-6 run to hand Davie (3-3, 1-2 CPC) its second straight loss. “They have a couple guys who are lights-out fast,” Pasciolla said. “You have to be able to withstand them getting their (big) plays. Sadly, this night we couldn’t withstand them.”Pelote threw two inter-ceptions, but he otherwise had a stellar showing with 83 rushing yards on 12 carries and 239 passing yards and two TDs. After Reagan had carved out a 41-26 lead, Blake French scored on a beautiful 93-yard catch-and-run. Aiden Hall had five catches for 50 yards and Colt Miller, the younger brother of varsity star quarterback Ty Miller, had three catches. Ian Patton had two as Pelote completed 16 of 38 passes. “Did you see how explo-sive Jay (Pelote) was on that kickoff return?” Pasciolla said. “Talk about a guy who can make an explosive play, he’s definitely one of them. We’re lucky to have him. “We had positive plays from some receivers. Colt had a pretty good night. JV football loses shootout to Reagan Colt played in the slot and had some good concentra-tion grabs. Now that we don’t have (injured Dallas Simms), some people are stepping up. Now we just have to do it consistently. Blake has some wheels as well. (Besides French’s long TD), he also hawked some-one down on an interception that prevented a touchdown at the time. Yeah, he had a big high-effort night.” Notes: Reagan improved to 3-3, 2-1. ... Before getting torched by Reagan, Davie’s defense had been stingy, allowing 11.5 points over four games. JV soccer scoring and winning tangs was the greatest effort in 11 years, or 192 games. (Davie beat Lexington 6-1 in 2012.)After a slow start that saw Davie trail 2-1 at half-time, the War Eagles ex-ploded in the second half. Andy Longares and Hector Rodriguez finished with two goals each, while Isaiah Beaty and Evans Steele had one apiece. McBain said the defense was anchored by Jaxon Cruse and Joshua Baker, with Porter Spann getting the job done in goal. He added that “Alex Serrano, Hunter Stephens and Devin Hernandez held the midfield with solid play.”Two days later in Kern-ersville, the War Eagles missed a good opportunity for their sixth win. They squandered a 3-1 lead and settled for a 3-3 tie against Glenn. Beaty had two goals and Longares one. Davie is 5-5-1 overall and 1-4-1 in the Central Piedmont Confer-ence. volleyball. Now I feel like they look like a JV team. They’re playing faster and playing more consistent. Now they can make adjust-ments on the fly. They’re more comfortable with our offense to be creative and get out of those tough rota-tions. They have made a ton of progress.”Davie will get a boost by the return of Jenkins. “Callie was just released to come back to underhand contact,” Brandon said. “She is slowly working back into things, which I think will be huge for them. Because at the beginning of the season, she was a soph-omore who was playing six rotations.” Tuesday, Oct. 10, 2023 Guest Speaker: Lisa Reynoldsof Family Promise of Davie County Meeting Begins at 6:30 PM • Door Prizes • Refreshments Held in our Mocksville office 1839 Hwy. 601 North, Mocksville (1 block north of the Walmart entrance at the corner of Ashley Brook Lane & Hwy. 601) Davie County Farm Bureau INVITES ALL MEMBERS to our ANNUAL MEETING SHOP LOCAL B8 ‑ DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Oct. 5, 2023 Sheffield-Calahaln Crazy Hat contestants at Willow Pondof Mocks- ville: Teresa Smoot, Gary Jones, Susan Phipps, Yvonne Richardson, Lanna Pace and Jan- ice Holder are looking forward to another “hat” contest soon.

A Cooleemee get-together A Cooleemee get-together By Cadet MajorLevi GraggSugar Valley Squadron Civil Air Patrol gives its cadet members incredible opportunities through the National Cadet Special Ac-tivities.Civil Air Patrol trains the next generation’s lead-ers and encourages them to pursue careers in aviation at a young age. Civil Air Pa-trol supports its dedicated members through training and scholarships to assist in going after their goals. I had the incredible op-portunity to attend Civ-il Air Patrol Maryland Wing's Robert Ayres Pow-ered Flight Academy. This academy aims to help ca-dets achieve their powered airplane solo as well as to successfully pass the FAA’s private pilot written exam. It is located at Hagerstown Regional airport in Mary-land and is a 14-day inten-sive training full of flying and studying.I became interested in aviation at the age of 11 and began looking for opportu-nities to learn. I stumbled upon the Civil Air Patrol and attended a few meetings to see how I liked it. I end-ed up joining as a cadet in April of 2019 and have been an active member since. I am the Cadet Com-mander for Sugar Valley Composite Squadron and have had the opportunity to be on staff for many Civil Air Patrol events in and out of North Carolina. I began working for Sugar Valley Airport as a summer job, which included flight les-sons. When I was too young to solo in a powered aircraft, but wanted to continue to advance my flying, I attend-ed a glider flight academy through Civil Air Patrol in 2022 and joined Piedmont Soaring Society at Bahnson Gliderport in Farmington to learn to pilot a glider. I have flown solo in both a powered aircraft and a glider as well as having accumulated over 50 flight hours and passed my writ-ten exam. This pretty much makes up about half the requirements for achieving my private pilot’s license.I am planning to contin-ue my pursuit of a career in aviation and achieve my pri- vate pilot's license by sum-mer of 2024. I am also in-terested in getting my glider endorsement. I plan to attend Liberty University and study avia-tion science starting in the fall of 2025. After graduat-ing, I want to pursue avia-tion in the military to build up flight hours before be-coming an Air Transport Pi-lot (ATP) with the airlines.To learn more about the Civil Air Patrol, visit 249 Gilbert Road, Mocksville. Meetings are every Tuesday evening from 6:30-8:30 and guests are welcome.Founded in 1941 and es-tablished as the official ci-vilian auxiliary of the U.S. Air Force seven years later, Civil Air Patrol is a non-profit organization for the purposes of youth develop-ment, aerospace education, and to promote aviation. In an auxiliary role as a partner of the Air Force, CAP oper-ates the world’s largest fleet of single-engine aircraft for search and rescue, disaster relief, training, and educa-tion. Civil Air Patrol is ded-icated to serving America’s communities, saving lives, and shaping futures.

On any typical day, there are more than 20,000 phone calls placed to domestic vi-olence hotlines nationwide. Domestic Violence Awareness month is recog-nized every October and the Davie Center for Violence Prevention is hosting two days of training and edu-cation for the community Oct. 24th and 26th from 10 a.m.to 4 p.m. at 132 Gov-ernment Center Drive. Mike Mertz will cover topics covering aspects of domestic violence and sex-ual assault. The same infor-mation will be presented on both days.The event is free and open to the public but reg-istration is required no later than Oct. 10. Events like this are hap-pening in an effort to bring more awareness to the com-munity and provide resourc-es to those who are victims and survivors of domestic violence and/or sexual as-sault. A task force was formed nearly a year and a half ago comprising of individuals from organizations across the county such as the Sher-iff's Department, Davie Social Services, The Drag-onfly House, Davie Health Department and others. This task force meets quarterly and focuses on bringing awareness about domestic violence and sexu-al assault to the community. “We are trying to do more outreach and keep the con-versation going about it here in the community,” Brandi Patti, assistant director for the Davie Center for Vio-lence Prevention said. This task force is one ex-ample of how organizations within the community are coming together, sharing in-formation and resources and working together to help train and educate on these topics. “Domestic violence is everywhere,” Patti said. “It’s not just in one Zip Code and it really is a pub-lic health issue. This won’t be solved overnight and we can’t do it alone. It really does fall on the community to make an impact and help victims and survivors of do-mestic violence.”Whether you’re a staff member or volunteer at one of the organizations who support victims and survi-vors of sexual assault and domestic violence or if you are a community member who is interested in learning more about these topics and broadening your awareness, this event is a great opportu-nity for you. If you have any questions about the event or resources for domestic violence and sexual assault victims and survivors, you can contact Brandi Patti at bpatti@da-viecountync.gov.

The information from the healthcare provider helps VA evaluate disability ben-efit claims from veterans. DBQ fraud schemes include attempts to obtain payment from veterans for assistance with getting DBQs completed by physi-cians and filing the related claim, even though free ser-vices are offered through VA and its accredited indi-viduals.All veterans should be aware that no-cost assis-tance is available for fil-ing an initial application for benefits. Fees may be charged for appeals. It is not appropriate for any un-accredited “claims consul-tants” or representatives to charge veterans a percent- age of future payments or fees to assist with filing ini-tial benefit claims. Veterans should decline assistance from anyone proposing such an arrangement.These unaccredited in-dividuals may improperly promise to send veterans to private healthcare pro-viders that will increase the chance for successful deci-sions or higher benefits, or inappropriately advise vet-erans to avoid exams from a VA provider. Veterans should never agree to have their VA benefit payments directly deposited into the bank account of a claims consultant.Know The SignsIndividuals or business-es charge veterans a fee or a percentage of monthly ben-efits for assistance in get-ting public DBQs complet-ed by healthcare providers or for submitting the result-ing claim for VA benefits.Unaccredited individ-uals guarantee a large in-crease in the veteran’s military service-connected disability rating that would lead to larger monthly monetary benefits. Only VA can determine disabili-ty ratings.Healthcare providers charge a fee with promises they can find a diagnosis or exaggerate an existing medical condition to secure a successful claims deci-sion or a higher rating than the evidence warrants.Take ActionSearch VA’s database to ensure you are using an accredited representa-tive. The database can be accessed online at www.va.gov/oig/fraud.Work with the identified accredited representative when submitting public DBQs to physicians or claims to VA.Verify with accredited Oct. 6 at Station 2 on Fire-house Road.There will not be indoor eating and socializing at the old fire station.

It was a popular place for wine enthusiasts to enjoy a picnic or live music while taking in the beauty of the rolling hills.Eventually, the Heaths moved to Davie Coun-ty from their home in Hamptonville as a result of their interest in buying and flipping houses.The church they at-tended delivered meals to the sick and homebound during the Covid shut-down, and they volun-teered to help. Ironically, one of their assigned de-livery spots was familiar: Misty Creek Vineyards.The meal recipients there were Barry and Kathy Nichols, founders of the business, and Bar-ry’s mother Marge, who was nearing her 100th birthday. Despite Marge’s age, she was a caregiver for Barry and Kathy who were both quite ill.Barry and Kathy died and Marge was left with a 56-acre property and win-ery that she was unable to manage.

DAVIE COUNTY ARTS COUNCIL BROCK PERFORMING ARTS CENTER 622 NORTH MAIN STREET BOX OFFICE (OPEN MON.�FRI. 12�5 PM): 336�751�3000 ONLINE: www.daviearts.org Simply Perfect Sunset at Misty Creek owners love their new Davie setting mentioned to the Heaths that she was going to sell Misty Creek.Although they had never even considered owning it, the seed of an idea was planted, and after much prayer and deliberation, they pur-chased Misty Creek with the intention of creating a wedding/events venue. The new name they chose was similar but with a nod to nature’s gift to the property: Sunset at Misty Creek.In 2021, the new owners rolled up their sleeves and got to work. One of the first tasks was clearing the overgrown grounds and redoing landscaping.Another early task was upfitting the tasting room into The Carriage House, a building for ceremo-ny or reception that can accommodate up to 120 people.They rejuvenated the main pavilion, a large outdoor space with a rock fireplace and fire pit where a wedding party and their guests can view the countryside, creek and pond.“The pond is a favorite location for brides’ photos because of the beautiful reflections in the water. As one bride told me, it’s all about the photos,” said Teresa Heath.“The recently com-pleted bridal suite is another one of the brides’ favorite places because of its photo opportunities. We designed it to have an elevated style, gold accents and an abundance of natural lighting. The brides love our lighted vanity mirrors and white velvet stools,” she said.Nazli Gharraee, an Au-gust bride, said that her favorite part of her Sunset at Misty Creek wedding was the bridal suite. “We had the best time getting ready,” she said.While weekend wed- dings are the main focus at Sunset at Misty Creek, Teresa Heath said that their facilities are ideal for weekday social and business gatherings as well as elopements.“Some brides opt for elopement since it is less pricey and less stressful and puts more emphasis on an intimate celebration with just close family and friends,” she said.The Heaths are happy that no matter what kind of wedding a couple wants, they can provide the services to help achieve their dream wedding.When they are not preparing for an event and have some moments of down time, the Heaths enjoy fishing in the pond and spending time with their grandkids. They are grateful they can experi-ence the natural beauty surrounding them at any given moment since their home is on the property. “It is simply perfect, and we love it,” said Teresa.She invites former patrons of Misty Creek Vineyards to take a tour. She also invites those who would like to know more about Sunset at Misty Creek or its ser-vices to take a tour or to visit sunsetatmistycreek.com. Teresa Heath enjoys welcoming guests to Sunset at Misty Creek. Nazli Gharraee and Brooks Lane take advantage of the scenery at Misty Creek for wedding photos by HimHer Photography. The top stories.
