PhillipsHistorian, Davie County Public Library On one of the last misty mornings of September, drivers on Highway 158 at Farmington Road noticed the arrival of machinery to take down trees and move earth. The new roundabout begun there will result in no less than three of these modern traffic pattern designs within a half mile on the old historic Farmington Road, that began in colonial days as the Irish Ford Road taking travelers from Huntsville to Salisbury. Town of Mocksville dwellers will have a new one at an old five-point in-tersection in the near future. (The latest from the N.C. Department of Transpor-tation is by the end of the year.) When and why did we start going in circles? Since the shortest distance between two points has always been a straight line, not surprisingly, people historically moved in a straightforward way unless prevented by an obstacle. Traffic circles showed up in history most often when city traffic demanded a way around an existing structure such as a monument like the Arc de Triomphe in Paris or the Colosseum in Rome. Even the American capital city Washington D.C. was designed by Pierre L’Enfant with a number of circles. However, the increase of automobile traffic in the 20th century cried out for innovations to move impatient drivers more efficiently. But the evolution of the new version called a roundabout was not created in the American “better mousetrap” engineering labs. Americans wanted to drive faster and faster and be stopped only when the law required it. The ”Keep Calm and Carry on” British developed the roundabout in the 1960s as an intentional way to protect lives and old buildings where widening streets in historic towns was not an op-tion. Widely adopted in other European countries (mostly with multiple lanes), the first one was not built in the United States until 1990 in Nevada. While a learning curve (literally) for the last few decades, anyone who has been held hostage behind a school bus at a yield sign quickly began to appre-ciate the advantages of roundabouts. They include slowing down speeders, Please See Roundabout - Page 5 Around and around we go ... UNC Charlotte has named the building that houses the Cato College of Education Mebane Hall in honor of aN endowment of up to $23 mil-lion from the Mebane Founda-tion to support early literacy. The gift will establish the Mebane Early Literacy Cen-ter and allow the University to expand its efforts in reading instruction. Mebane Hall was officially named as part of a ceremony Sept. 19.The foundation gift, one of the largest in the university’s history, arrives following a report commissioned by the UNC System Board of Gov-ernors that designated UNC Charlotte as “strong” in lit-eracy instruction, the highest rating achievable. UNC Char-lotte is the only North Caroli-na public university to earn the distinction. Mebane Foundation President Larry Colbourne (second from right) is joined by UNC Charlotte’s Sharon Gaber, Dennis Bunker and Malcolm Butler at the renaming of the schools college of education building to Mebane Hall. Mebane Foundation all in on literacy efforts at university UNC Charlotte’s college of education is now officially Mebane Hall. “Allen Mebane, one of this state’s great business leaders and entrepreneurs, believed in the importance of childhood literacy,” said Chancellor Sha-ron L. Gaber. “We are thank-ful to the Mebane Foundation and its board for their confi-dence in UNC Charlotte. Now, as countless future educators walk through the newly re-named Mebane Hall, they will be reminded of Mr. Mebane’s lasting legacy of curiosity and innovation.”Teacher development, com-munity partnerships, and early literacy research and innova-tion will each be amplified and enhanced through the gift. The foundation will increase its funding to Cato College over the next five years in support of teacher development. It is Please See Mebane - Page 4 For many students in Davie County, a college education has seemed out of reach. Whether too expensive, or too far from the family they help to support, it’s only been a dream. The IGNITE DAVIE Col-lege Promise program was launched in the fall of 2020, and pays tuition, fees, and a stipend for books for Da- vie students to attend David-son-Davie Community Col-lege full-time.The foundation is closing in on the final fundraising needed for the program to be perma-nently endowed. Employers of Choice are helping to close the gap and make the dream of a college education a reality for Davie students. “The foundation has reached out to the communi-ty to support IGNITE DAVIE since 2019, and the response has been great,” said Jane Simpson, Davie Communi-ty Foundation CEO. “We’ve seen so much generosity from folks in the community. This year Touchdowns for Educa-tion was a huge success. Staff and teachers at Davie County Schools exceeded challenges we set for them. Restaurants have rallied to support events.“In return, these business-es will gain exposure across the community and benefit by helping to grow the fu-ture workforce to meet their needs.” “It’s catching on,” said Me-linda Szeliga, COO for the ‘Employers of Choice’ on board for Ignite Davie Please See Ignite - Page 5 Center BBQ is back, start-ing at 8 a.m. Saturday.The Center Volunteer Fire Department and Center Com-munity Development Associa-tion benefit from this fundrais-er, off US 64 West at I-40 and adjacent to the historic Center Arbor.Pork barbecue will be sold by the sandwich, pound or shoulder, and hotdogs, pork skins, and fries will also be available.

Don’t stop censoring wrong rainbows The Literary Corner: Renegade Writer’s Guild Please See Renegade ‑ Page 3 To the editor:Please don't stop censoring wrong rainbows by simply painting over rocks. Since any alternative non-Biblical rainbows might damage young folks, here's a partial list of related materials ripe for censorship. All scientific descriptions of rainbows as optical illu-sions created when light bends through bows of suspended water particles after storms, producing multitudes of rich colors. Since the National Weather Service (which accepts the forbidden reality of climate change) avoids referencing Genesis in its definition, farewell weather forecasts.All dictionaries that do not reference Genesis in de-fining the term "rainbow" and/or use such phrases as "of, relating to, or being people of different races or cultural backgrounds" (Merriam-Webster Dictionary). All non-Biblical stories about rainbows. For example, ancient Greeks and Romans, who practiced polytheism (should be a forbidden word) and religious toleration (should be a forbidden practice), poetically personified the rainbow as Iris, the female messenger of the gods. Like-wise, rainbows appear in stories of the Navajo, Mesopota-mians, Buddhists, Hindus, Norse, Australian Aboriginals, Irish (don't let kids become Leprechauns), and many other cultures. All wrong. Actually, it's best to ban all studies of comparative religions, whether they reference rainbows or not.All non-Biblical rainbow-themed items including can-dies, cakes, cookies, ice cream, drinks, decorations, greet-ing cards, banners, bags, backpacks, coolers, mugs, bot-tles, sunglasses, bracelets, shirts, dresses, footwear, hats, scarfs, towels, flags, and trout. And all hopes that pets upon death pass over The Rainbow Bridge to await their masters' ascents to heaven. All recordings of "Somewhere over the Rainbow" ("Somewhere over the rainbow way up high there's a land that I heard of once in a lullaby") and any version of "The Wizard of Oz", which parodies a would-be dictator who deceives his followers with smoke, illusions, noise, and grand, empty promises that he knows that he cannot fulfill.And all recordings of Kermit the Frog's "Rainbow Con-nection" ("Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection, the lovers, the dreamers and me") and all things related to The Muppets, who celebrate diversity and inclusion as good. After all, why should young folks learn to respect oth-ers who live, believe, and love differently?Charles McAllisterMocksville To the editor:Thank you to those who wrote in response to my letter to the wditor a couple of weeks ago regarding the rainbow on the House System Rock at Ellis Middle School. To clarify, my letter was not intended to sway any one person in believing what I believe but rather, as a means of expressing another’s point of view and hopefully, seeing a different perspective from the eyes of another. When word got out that the rock was to be painted over, many friends of mine in education, medicine and social work reached out to me outraged by the decision. My let-ter was written not only in my voice but on behalf of theirs as well.It is disheartening, but not surprising, to know that I live in a county with some who believe that if you are not straight, conservative or Christian, your beliefs don’t mat-ter. I was raised to believe that we are all created in God’s image and as such, deserve “the pursuit of a meaningful life” no matter our race, religion, culture, gender or sexu-al orientation (referred to by some as “lifestyle choices”). I certainly was not expecting a sermon and a lecture. To hear that one’s gender identity is determined during pu-berty and hormonal changes in middle school, and not in the womb, was news to me! I think we may need to fact check that one.Regardless of your views, the rainbow painted on the rock at Ellis Middle School was, in fact, a reflection of the House Colors and absolutely nothing else. This argument that the rainbow has been “hijacked” is nonsense. The rainbow does not belong to you or me, and does not mean only one thing. I’ve seen it on baby nursery de-cor, board games, paintings, calendars and daily planners (I have both), hospitals and childcare centers and not once did I get so offended that I requested all rainbows be re-moved from everything I saw. So what if the LGBTQ community is using it as well? We don’t own it. Who are we to say who can and cannot use it or how someone should view a rainbow? Showing a little bit of humility, empathy and kindness goes a long way. Perhaps revisit that beautiful passage that commands us to love our neighbors as ourself?What saddens me most is that when a complaint arose from the rainbow on the House System rock, no backbone was demonstrated in the handling of it. An explanation to the complainant of what it was (and what it wasn’t) could have sufficed. No support was given to the teachers and staff who worked hard on it. No accountability was shown since the person who made the decision, has since denied what they did to concerned citizens who emailed opposing the decision. I hope this is not a preview of what we can expect to see in the future when other complaints arise, and you can bet in this culture we are in now, they will.I don’t expect to change opinions. I only wish to inform the powers that be that not everyone in Davie shares those same opinions. Many of us here believe that we all deserve a seat at the table, whether you like it or not.If you wish to discuss further, negative or positive, you are welcome to email me at RainbowInARedCounty@gmail.com. Misty Hall, Advance Rainbow in a red county, oh my By Mike WaldenNCSU Almost precisely a year ago I wrote about manufactur-ing. I reviewed the facts from North Carolina and through-out the country. While amanufacturing was once one of the dominant industries in terms of production and employ-ment, in the 21st century the opposite has been the case. Manufacturing has been in a state of decline.The nation has lost close to a quarter of the manufactur-ing jobs it had in 1990. The drop has been larger in North Carolina — almost half of the state’s factory jobs are gone. In the late 1990s, manufacturing at the national level ac-counted for 16% of total economic output; today it is 11%. Again, the reduction was bigger in North Carolina, where manufacturing contributed 27% to the economy in the late 1990s, but today contributes 15%.Three factors brought about this shrinking of domestic manufacturing. First has been a desire to make countries economically interdependent to lessen the threat of war. Second were improvements in communications and trans-portation. Third was the desire to lower consumer prices by moving production to lower-cost regions and countries. These shifts hurt North Carolina more because the state had long focused on producing key consumer products like textiles, apparel and furniture.The pandemic changed some of these views about in-ternational trade. A big concern was the supply chain prob-lems that harmed the economy even after the pandemic subsided. Businesses and consumers realized that being dependent on other countries for products came with a big potential downside.China has grown to be the largest manufacturing coun-try. Some call China the “world’s factory.” But the U.S. and other countries have serious geopolitical differences. This has caused many to re-evaluate trade with China.Last year’s column ended by observing that many in our country — as well as in North Carolina — were be-ginning to consider serious efforts to move manufacturing back to our country. The question for today’s column is, how have those ef-forts progressed in the last year?As with most questions in economics, the answer de-pends on which statistics are used. Manufacturing produc-tion in the nation and North Carolina rebounded strongly from the pandemic recession that pushed output well be-low pre-COVID-19 levels. However, since 2022, produc-tion has dropped as recession fears have risen. Production levels are lower than in 2019.Manufacturing employment has increased since the end of the pandemic and is at 14-year highs in the U.S. and North Carolina. However, there have been some recent re-treats in factory jobs, particularly in North Carolina.A key reason for the decline in domestic manufacturing in the last four decades has been the increase in imports of manufactured products from foreign countries, partic-ularly China. But there appears to have been a reversal in recent years. Imports from China are down. This is a big reason why the U.S. trade deficit in products is 13% lower in 2023 (through July) compared to 2022.Why has there been improvement in our foreign trade deficit for manufactured products? The answer is a combi-nation of “foreign sticks” and “domestic carrots.”One traditional way of reducing imports and helping domestic producers is to make foreign imports more ex-pensive. This can easily be accomplished by levying a tax, which is termed a tariff. The tariffs are like “foreign sticks.” The Trump administration imposed significant tar-iffs on Chinese imports, and the Biden administration has largely kept them. Hence, Chinese-made products have lost some of their cost advantage.Another way of competing against imports is to subsi-dize domestic competitors. For example, if foreign-made computer chips are cheaper than U.S.-made computer chips, then the government can reduce the cost of U.S.-made chips by providing a financial subsidy to the man-ufacturers.In 2022, Congress approved, and the president signed, several legislative bills totaling over $2 trillion that will financially assist U.S. computer chip manufacturers, auto manufacturers and other factories. These can be viewed as The Other VictimBy Julie Terry CartnerAfter over ten years of teaching, Mrs. Brigman felt confident in her ability to read children, and she rarely was wrong. That’s why she was concerned when Faith’s schoolwork was not up to her usual standards, then trou-bled when Faith started performing badly on tests. Faith always made the top grades, and Selina Brigman was posi-tive Faith knew the material. Her greatest worry, however, was based on how different Faith was acting. The formerly vivacious girl was a shadow of herself. It was time to have a talk with Faith, so at recess, Mrs. Brigman sent the children outside. She smiled as she watched the predictable behavior. Donnie, Tim, and Mer-edith were always first, rushing to the door like they’d die if they didn’t get outside in the next ten seconds. Equally predictably, Bonnie, Sam, and Faith brought up the rear. Bonnie and Sam hated anything athletic. Faith just pre-ferred quiet time to read.Today that worked in Mrs. Brigman’s favor. Shooing the other children out the door, she asked Faith to stay behind for a minute. As soon as they were alone, she sat Faith down and expressed her concerns, concluding with, “So, what’s going on, Faith? I hope you know you can talk to me.”Expecting Faith to tell her about someone bullying her or something of that ilk, Mrs. Brigman was surprised when Faith’s eyes filled with tears, and then, she was to-tally shocked when Faith told her the truth.“You know my daddy died last year,” Faith said, “but now Mama has a new boyfriend. He works in construc-tion, so he’s not around all the time, but when he is here, he lives with us.”Mrs. Brigman was starting to have a bad feeling about all of this. “So, what’s happening?” she asked quietly.“At first things were good,” Faith replied, “Mama wasn’t crying as much. She seemed happy. Then one night, after I’d gone to bed, I heard Pete come home – that’s Ma-ma’s boyfriend’s name – I could hear him talking, and he sounded funny. Then he started yelling, and then I heard a crash. I ran out, but Mama yelled at me and told me to go back into my bedroom and lock the door. I turned and saw Mama and Daddy’s wedding picture on the floor broken, so I stopped, but she yelled, ‘Now, Faith!’ and I ran. After that I heard more yelling and Mama crying, but I did what she told me and stayed in my room.”“The next day Mama was wearing a lot of makeup, but I could tell she had a big bruise on her cheek. But when I tried to talk to her, she only said ‘Everything is fine.’”“Was this the only time that happened, Faith?” Mrs. Brigman asked worriedly.Sadly, Faith shook her head. “It’s happened a lot, Mrs. Brigman.” As the tears began to flow in earnest, she con-tinued, “I just don’t know what to do. Why does she let him in the house? Why doesn’t she stop him from hitting her? Why does she make me stay in my room and lock the door? I could help her. I would help her, but she won’t let me. Is that the way men are supposed to be? Are women supposed to like that?”Gently, Mrs. Brigman took Faith’s hands. Looking her in the eyes, she simply said, “No. No, that’s not how people should treat each other, and it’s certainly not what women, or anyone else, should like. I suspect your mom is struggling with living alone since your daddy died, and that’s why she’s letting Pete in the house. Will you let me help you, Faith?“Will Mama get in trouble?” Faith asked.“No, Sweetheart, we’ll try to help both of you.” After hugging Faith and sending her out to play, Mrs. Brigman called the school counselor, and started the path to help the unhappy mother and child.“Children who witness domestic violence…are at se-rious risk for long-term physical and mental health prob-lems…[They] may also be at greater risk of being violent in their future relationships.” “Effects of Domestic Vio-lence on Children.” U.S. Department of Health and Hu-man Services. womenshealth.gov.

Continued From Page 2“domestic carrots.”While these carrots and sticks can work, they have crit-ics. The major argument against tariffs is that they prevent U.S. consumers from having access to lower-cost, for-eign-made products, hence reducing consumers’ standard of living. Also, in response to the claim that tariffs create domestic manufacturing jobs, critics say buying cheaper foreign-made products will free up money for U.S. con-sumers to spend on other domestic products, thus also cre-ating jobs.Detractors of subsidies to domestic manufacturers ask an important question: What happens when the subsidies stop? And if the subsidies never stop, will the higher taxes to support them leave U.S. consumers no better off?There is a third way to reshore manufacturing to our country. This is to make U.S. and North Carolina factory workers out-produce and out-compete their foreign com-petitors. In economics lingo, this means improving man-ufacturing productivity. Unfortunately, U.S. manufactur-ing productivity has recently been lagging that of foreign countries.While the goal of reviving domestic manufacturing persists, the future continues to be uncertain. Still, ma-jor changes in the economy can happen within a lifetime. When I was born over 70 years ago, my parents had no TV and had just purchased their first rotary phone. Will manufacturing make a big comeback? I think it can, but you decide.Mike Walden is a William Neal Reynolds Distinguished Professor Emeritus at North Carolina State University. Continued From Page 2don’t want these items. A teacher of a feng shui class opened her lesson by saying, “Your children do not want your things.” What is special to me is not necessarily spe-cial to my children and grandchildren.Recently, I photographed these family possessions and compiled a small self-published book with each page containing a photograph of an object and words below to describe the family connection. For example, my great- grandfather, Nelson Beck, gave this oil lamp to his daugh-ter in 1921 on her 25th wedding anniversary. My mother had it wired for an electric lamp. Being a historian and ge-nealogist, this is very significant information to me about You decide ... Renegade ... provenance. I have a copy of this book, and I sent one to each son.The feng shui teacher also said, “Your home is not a mu-seum.” I think mine probably is. Seeing victims of storms and fires who have lost everything is very alarming to me in terms of family stories and belongings. You can replace furniture, but if that walnut dresser which was made by your great grandfather with hand tools is destroyed, it’s gone forever. But if you have a photo and description that survived the devastation, it’s better than nothing. Family history descriptions are significant.As I did an inventory of my objects for the book, a verse, “Lay not up for yourselves treasures on earth” kept echoing. Another quote came to mind, “I never saw a U-Haul trailer behind a funeral hearse.” So I am conflict-ed, as we all are. In addition, I have many old photographs. My solution for permanence for those is to upload them to Memories in FamilySearch.org. There are other family descendants who would love to see those pictures of shared relatives. Genealogists are generous in sharing, and it’s my turn to do the same. RamblingsBy Gaye HootsAfter our sixtieth-class reunion, I received much feed-back from classmates and friends. The main theme has been our class’s pride in celebrating each other. I have not picked up on the competitiveness we experienced as kids. Bill Junker asked several classmates to give a brief his-tory and we all took pride in their accomplishments and successes.I emphasized that our class produced many educators, nurses, and those in helping professions. One of these couples was Charles and Patsy Crenshaw, educators and a coach. Charles has been the glue that held our class to-gether by keeping up with our email addresses and current info. He posts birthdays, medical issues, and obituaries. When my sister died, he and Patsy were in the middle of a two-week beach vacation. They drove back for her service and then back to the beach. We are so grateful to him for keeping us united.Grimes Parker is another educator and coach. He start-ed a summer program to teach basketball skills to local children who might be unable to afford a summer camp and has maintained this for years. Norman Woodward and others helped him with this, and others from our class did too. Charles Markland and Lorene are both educators and have served as vice principals and principals. Other edu-cators were Sherry Collins Sheek, Mondell Ellis, Glenda Hendrix Beard, Sarah Laird Stockton, Barbara McDaniel Eldridge, Linda Dull Pendleton, Marsha Stewart Ingalls, Donald Jones, Cal Jones, and Rodney Smith before he became a pastor. Larry Cornelison and Jane Hall Smith taught college courses for many years, exhibiting the good character we want our children to observe and emulate. I have missed some because I am not aware of career choic-es.There is a long list of nurses: Julia Ritchie Alexander, Ann Towel Gary, Vivian Marion Cook, Mary Lou Smoot Coley, Joann Peoples Stultz McBride, Glenda Potts Bo-ger, Katrina Robertson Summitt, and me. Once, when I attempted to help a grieving family and Mary Lou worked at Davie, she went above and beyond to comfort them. James Groce is our only doctor.Several classmates have businesses, as do Bill and Kathy Junker, who have been our gracious hosts for many years. Bill, Jim Eaton, and others helped start our college scholarship fund. Others have served on the fund’s com-mittee and the committee to put our reunions together. Pete and Gail Frye hosted many class get-togethers with the Pages and others assisting.My Facebook site is full of pictures of generations of our children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren whom we have nurtured and guided with the same prin-ciples we were raised with. Let's keep on celebrating and raising our families to fill our shoes. 4 - DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Oct. 12, 2023 Exclusive Offers Sign up for our free weekly newsletter and receive special offers on digital subscriptions.

It’s a building, and it’s Mebane Hall, and that is really exciting, but it’s what goes on between these four walls that mat-ters. Like Allen [Mebane], we must always be disrup-tors, we must always be in-novators.”Mebane Early Literacy Scholars will receive an experience focused on pre-paring them to teach read-ing at a high level, one that includes:• comprehensive courses rooted in established re-search on teaching literacy to all children;• hands-on clinical place-ments that afford opportu-nities to see, practice, and engage in teaching literacy across diverse groups of students; • professional learning outside of course and field-work that extends teacher candidates’ literacy-related knowledge, practice, and skills; and• opportunities to engage with families, caregiv-ers, and other stakeholders within communities to bet-ter understand the children Mebane Foundation President Larry Colbourne speaks at the dedication ceremony for Mebane Hall at UNC Charlotte. Mebane Scholars Amelia Crawford, Susan Lima, Brittney Thompson, Caitlin McGennis, Camille Walters, Emily Yount, Anna Tedeschi. Mebane Foundation Board Members Hank Hagey Jr., William Mebane, Larry Colbourne, Marianne Mebane and Paul Livingston Jr. Mebane ... they are teaching.“These experiences have been so rewarding, and the knowledge gained from them has been invaluable. My time here has cemented my love for literacy instruc-tion,” said senior Caitlin McGennis, a participant in the Mebane Scholar pilot programming. Junior Anna Tedeschi added: “After I complete the Mebane Scholars pro-gram, I am going to feel confident walking into any classroom, knowing that I have what it takes to make a difference in the lives of my students.” The Cato College of Education’s summer read-ing camps also will benefit. Operating since 2016, the camps provide Charlotte area elementary students who are struggling with reading with resources and literacy support, teachers the opportunity to learn and practice evidence-based techniques, and teacher can-didates with clinical experi-ence. The college has devel-oped Project ENRICH, which provides evidence-based tutoring year-round to elementary school students who need literacy support.The Mebane Foundation has been investing $50,000 annually in the university’s research-based summer reading camp since 2019.The college’s approach to excellent literacy instruc-tion can be seen in action at Niner University Elemen-tary, where each student re-ceives 30 minutes of small group research-based lit-eracy instruction each day. The lessons are planned specifically to meet the needs of individual students and have produced signifi-cant results. UNC Charlotte teacher candidates contrib-ute at Niner throughout the school year and during sum-mer at reading camps.In community outreach, the Cato College of Edu-cation will reinforce its commitment to serving as North Carolina’s early lit-eracy hub for networking, providing technical assis-tance, and professional de-velopment to schools and community partners. New programming will include the Mebane Early Literacy Professional Development Series and the annual Me-bane Literacy Summit.The Mebane Early Lit-eracy Center builds efforts supported by the Mebane-backed Project ENRICH and contributions by the Belk Foundation.In the next decade, the college projects the Mebane Early Literacy Center will impact thousands of educa-tors and K-5 students.“Our collective vision is of a future where every student achieves success in reading. It can be done, and our college sees the path forward,” said Cato College of Education Dean Mal-colm Butler.This article originally ap-peared in the University of North Carolina Charlotte Cato College of Education newsletter and is repub-lished here with permission.

This is an investment in my company and this community. This is an ex-cellent opportunity for us to provide an education for students who may not be able to go to school other-wise.

The greatest advantage, however, was pointed out to me by my son-in-law, David Wilson, a British resident. Roundabouts have reduced accidents with an injury or fatality by 90 percent because they simply alter the scenario for T-bone collisions at intersections. Awareness of other vehicles is an innate factor in this way forward, always in a counter clock-wise direction. History is giving Davie County another chance to embrace the circle. It is interesting that downtown Mocksville once had a boxy shaped traffic circle around the original courthouse. Even more interesting is a book in the Martin-Wall History Room at the Davie Public Library that details court records of the roads and bridges built in the county in the 19th century. 6 - DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Oct. 12, 2023Public Records ArrestsThe following were ar-rested by the Davie County Sheriff’s Office.Oct. 7: Amber Kaylyn Vaughn, 31, of Foster St., Mocksville, larceny by changing price tag, tres-passing, possession of drug paraphernalia, larceny, possession of methamphet-amine; Demetrius Brown, 30, of Howardtown Road, Mocksville, breaking and entering; Larry West, 69, of Center Circle, Mocksville, communicating threats.Oct. 6: David Lee Mul-lins Jr., 45, of Mocksville, fleeing to elude arrest in a vehicle, resisting an offi-cer, expired vehicle reg-istration, driving while li-cense revoked, assault on a female; Gerald Mummert Jr., 73, of Dakota Lane, Mocksville, larceny.Oct. 4: Travis Ray Hed-rick, 44, of Duke Whittaker Road, Mocksville, proba-tion violation, possession of drug paraphernalia; An-drea Crisina Gardner May, 30, of Salisbury, unautho-rized use of vehicle; Dev-on Tyler Morrison, 25, of Salisbury, communicating threats; Ashley Whitaker Morrow, 39, of Coventry Lane, Mocksville, posses-sion of drug paraphernalia, possession of heroin; Terry Justin Sherrill, 35, of Cov-entry Lane, Mocksville, possession of methamphet-amine.

The event filled the senior center with 175 spectators as four con-testants: Hazel Dillard, LaTeah Dunn, Donna Fra-ley, and Azalee Stockton competed for the title.The event started with Senior Services staff mem-bers Kim Shuskey, Mi-chelle Ellis, and Carrie Miller kicking introducing the emcee, Melinda Szeli-ga. The 2019 First Runner Up, Alice Barnette, and 2019 Ms. Senior Davie County, Diane Koveal, walked in to Cyndi Lau-per’s “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” and were fol-lowed in by this year’s con-testants to Aretha Frank-lin’s “RESPECT.” Once the women filled the stage, they were asked to share their name and the town they were repre-senting. Hazel Dillard and Donna Fraley represented Mocksville while LaTeah Dunn represented Ad-vance, and Azalee Stockton represented Cooleemee. Following their intro-ductions, Miller introduced the three judges: Ken Gamble, Mocksville town manager; Brian Barnett, county manager; and Su-zanne Wright, director of Davie County Health and Human Services. The judg-es scored each candidate in four areas – their “I Be-lieve” statement, evening gown, talent, and inter-views., previously record-ed for the judges to view prior to the pageant. This was followed by contestants coming back on stage one by one where they shared an “I Believe” statement and showed off their evening gowns while Szeliga read information about each contestant. County Commissioner Benita Finney sang a song before the talent competi-tion. Hazel Dillard kicked off with a poem titled “Some-body’s Mother” followed by LaTeah Dunn with her rendition of “How to Make a Bow.” Contestant Donna Fraley played “Born Free” on the piano, and the eve-ning closed with Azalee performing an exercise routine to the “Cupid Shuf-fle”. As the contestants pa-tiently awaited the scores to come in, Finney sang two more songs. Szeliga and the contestants came back to the stage for the winners to be announced. The first runner up for 2023 was Donna Fraley. She was presented with a sash and a dozen roses.

MAIN STREET • MOCKSVILLE, NC(336) 751-2120 By KC SmithCooleemee Correspondent Sometime midsummer this year, six women de-cided it was time to go on a beach trip. Three werecousins, two daughters, a sister-in-law and a granddaughter.The island of Sunset Beach in North Carolina was the destination and the house they chose happened to have been featured by HGTV.When reservations are booked in advance, who knows what can happen to change their plans. The sis-ter-in-law’s husband came down with COVID the day before they were to leave. Despite the doctor telling her to go on the trip if she didn’t have symptoms, she stayed home, tested posi-tive in three days and so did her two children.One daughter was so happy about the timing of the trip because she was working her last days at her nursing job after 17 years and this trip was giving her a chance to be part of a girls trip without children. She was to start her new job the following Monday. Well, she came down with a prolonged stomach bug that had been swarm-ing around the hospital and she stayed home.So, disappointed as they were about loosing two members of the group they were still excited about the trip.You can know someone for a very long time but not really know them, if you know what I mean. They laughed at stories, shared cooking tips, make-up brands, best diets that work and more.During the fun chatter one day, everyone fell silent when the daughter said to her mother, ‘tell them about the life guard.”“What lifeguard, when, how, oh no you did not.” Might I add she was the most timid in the group which made the story so unbelievable.After her graduation, she and two cousins and a friend headed for the beach for the weekend in a 1966 Plymouth Furytwo-door. She said she met a lifeguard there and when she was about to head home, he wanted to go with her, so he hopped in the back seat in the middle of a cousin and friend.They were towing a U Haul carrying a motorcycle for a friend who lived in Salisbury. So dropped off the U haul and headed on to Davie County.The evening was getting late so when she got home her parents were asleep and her brother was made to leave his bed and sleep on the sofa while the lifeguard slept in his bed. Leaving sand in the bed for the brother to find later didn’t go over well.Her daddy told her the next morning to, “take his “butt” back home today!” (I cleaned that up a bit.)Her parents took both cars to work so she called and called but couldn’t find Some tales were told among these friends at the Cosby Beach Trip.

Please See Trip - Page 13 10 - DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Oct. 12, 2023 Bless Your Spoon By Stephanie Williams Dean For their September meeting, members of the Advance Garden Club wel-comed Donnah Sparkle as their guest speaker with an informative program about "Growing Your Own Citrus Trees.”The presentation includ-ed the definition, history, three types of propaga- Each year, my family attended the state fair in my hometown of Nashville, Tenn. The fair was a big deal to Mama – and therefore, a big part of my childhood history. Even after I became an adult, Mama and I would saunter down the midway, stopping along the way to devour a warm corn dog and creamy car-amel apple – our personal favorites. The event’s a must-do fall activity – always attending the Carolina Classic Fair when it rolls into town. And some things never change. Eating at a fair is about discovery – happening upon some wildly delicious, syrupy, or salty concoc-tion. I do sample one or two new items – the “pickled” savories and “fried” sweets seem to be trend-ing. Despite new flavors, I still love my old stand-bys – leaving less space for novelty food choic-es. Despite what newly fangled, specialty food is being featured, I begin the graze with a blue rib-bon, fair favorite – a mustard and ketchup-covered corndog. But this year, one thing did change. I discovered a new mouth-watering, hand-dipped dog – and something more than thick, homemade, cornmeal bat-ter surrounded this tale. It’s a sto-ry I relish because family is at the heart of it. As I wandered past the concessions, I made note of grills with sizzling beef tips with onions and sugary ice cream trucks. Then I stopped at a truck where I tried a new corndog – the best one ever tasted! Finally, I landed at Trey Miller’s crepe, nut, and fudge truck where his fam-ily’s connection was revealed – it had to have been divine intervention. Trey’s success surrounds his Mama’s candy and crepe recipes. While his mom wasn’t a big cook – she was a mas-ter at making crepes – both sweet and savory. His straw-berry crepes were fantastic. But even more so, I loved his story of growing up on them. It’s no surprise Trey took to the road selling these sweet and savory treats – using the recipes from Mama’s old files. But his story doesn’t end here. Trey shared that the family has 6 other food trucks at the fair. And his history with the fair dates back to his grandparent's era. Several generations of Millers have been in the carnival business. To my surprise, I learned it was Trey’s cousin, Greg, who operated the food truck where I’d sampled that de-licious corn dog. I wouldn’t be surprised if Greg’s story surrounded another old family recipe. The batter is home-made and the dogs are hand-dipped. A thick wrap of lus-cious cornbread encircles a juicy, savory beef dog – yum-my and delicious. A new go-to. Earlier I’d mentioned to a friend that I might splurge on a milkshake. You can imagine my surprise when Trey pointed out his Uncle Gentry’s ice cream stand across the way. Uncle Gentry has the smoothest, salty, and sweetest peanut butter milkshake that’s ever melted down a throat. But then I learned that Uncle Gentry also runs the Pickled Barrel concessions where I’d commented on the steaming beef tips and mashed potatoes when walking by.

Grow your own citrus the road was another ice cream truck that had been owned by Trey’s grandfather back in the day. This family’s all together in the fair business – and that was a mighty sweet story that came with every bite. My tummy was full – but my soul was completely satisfied with warm, delightful Miller family tales. But I still had another important stop to make. Let’s be sure to give it up for one of our own – Davie County resident, Brandon Cassidy. Brandon’s truck, Food Freaks, won the award for overall, best of the entire fair in the “SAVORY” category. Now that’s a mighty high honor considering some fierce competitors – and is deserving of a little bragging space for Brandon. I thoroughly enjoyed one of his most popular offerings – a peanut butter and banana, beefy, “Elvis” burger – and 100% yum! Brandon’s food truck business is all in the family, as well – with his wife and the couple’s four children helping. A loving, praying family unit is so important. There’s a familiar quote that says, “Families that pray together, stay together.” Praying families build a foundation of love, comfort, strength, inspiration – and a relationship with God. Biblical scripture found in Proverbs 22:6 supports this quote, saying “Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it.” (NIV) And there’s another beautiful verse in Matthew 18:18 where Jesus teaches, “I tell you the truth, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.” (NIV) So gather your chil-dren around your table and bind them with the Spirit – for as Jesus said, “For where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them.” (NIV) BASIC CREPES3 eggs1 ½ cup whole milk2 Tbsp. melted, salted butter1 ½ cups all-purpose flour1 tsp. sugar1/8 tsp. saltButter for cookingIn a mixer bowl, beat eggs.

She wasclose to one male cousin and he agreed to let her drive his car to Winston and right back.But she didn’t drive to Winston-Salem, she drove all the way to Charlotte to his house. She regrets to this day she lied to her cousin. He told her when he got the car back that she drove more than to Win-ston. He had checked the mileage before she left. Her cousin’s car was a gear shift and since she had never driven to Charlotte before and little experi-ence with a gear shift, the lifeguard drove the car to Charlotte. She drove his car back while following behind him driving her cousin’s car.Believe it or not, the lifeguard sat at the table for a meal with her family before he left and drove back home.To top it all off, the Ma-sonic Picnic was going on that week and she took him to the picnic even though, get this, even though she had a boyfriend and as far as she knows he didn’t see her.That night was the last time she saw that lifeguard.All she could say was, “He was so good looking.”I guess most people at the age of 18 do crazy things and have fun telling about it. This woman has been carrying around this story for a long time and now the cat is out of the bag.Names have been kept secret to bring a little mys-tery about who of the five told the story.

Famil y Medicine Your www.kintegra.orgKristi Boudreaux, FNP DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Oct. 12, 2023 - B1Sports By Brian PittsEnterprise Record In August, the Davie girls ten-nis team began a quest to accom-plish something that had only been done twice in program history - win three straight regular-season championships. Mission accomplished. The War Eagles are an eye-pop-ping 37-1 in the Central Piedmont Conference over the past three seasons, something no one could have imagined when Davie was struggling along at 6-9 and 5-7 in the 2019 and spring of 2021 seasons, respectively. The War Eagles cemented their three-peat by thrashing bot-tom-feeders Parkland and Glenn last week. “It’s the girls. I don’t care if you’re John Wooden, if you don’t have athletes who are willing to come in and work, you’re not go-ing to win,” coach Collin Ferebee said. “I thought this was going to be a rebuilding year. I thought we’d scare Reynolds and Reagan. But man, 14-1 and almost 15-0 in a rebuild year? These other schools want what we’re build-ing right now because we’re in a down year and they’re worried about us. That’s a testament to the girls coming in during the summer and hitting the weight room and working out and hitting the track and getting on the courts. We have really embraced the mantra that we’re going to win the day. We don’t want second place. When your whole team is ‘we don’t want second place,’ really great things can happen.”When Davie hosted Parkland on Oct. 2, Elliot Newsome, Corbin Drum, Bailey Aderhold, Leah Gibson, Ali Cranfill and Gabby Thompson all won 6-0, 6-0 in singles. Lena Parsley and Gilda Pichardo tacked on an 8-1 win at No. 2 doubles. Parkland forfeited at No. 3 doubles. Two days later at home, Davie breezed 9-0 over Glenn. The reg-ular singles lineup posted a bunch Mission accomplished: Tennis wins CPC again Please See Tennis - Page B5 By Brian PittsEnterprise Record When Davie’s football team looks across the field at West For-syth here Friday, the War Eagles may feel as if they’re looking into a mirror. Both teams are coming off stinging losses - Mt. Tabor squeaked out a 35-34 decision over Davie and Reagan knocked off West 35-26 - and both teams will be bent on doing whatever it takes to never feel that way again. Both teams are 5-2 overall and 3-1 in the Central Piedmont Conference. Both are tied with East Forsyth for first place. There will be an electric atmo-sphere on homecoming at War Ea-gle Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. The helter skelter Central Pied-mont Conference makes no sense in 2023. Davie beat Reagan 54-41; West lost to Reagan. Davie lost by a skinny point to Tabor; West buried Tabor 40-14. Davie de-stroyed Reynolds 47-3, but Tabor lost 29-28 to the Demons. Tabor lost to Reynolds but had East on the ropes. Reagan was 1-5 before tripping West. Friday’s game offers both teams a chance for redemption. The War Eagles, seeking their first CPC title since 2016, will close with Glenn (3-4, 2-2) and Parkland (4-3, 1-3). West has to meet East in the final week of the regular season. A win here and Davie is right back in the catbird seat. “We made the road harder for ourselves, but at the same time, what we want is still in front of us,” coach Tim Devericks said. “We still control our own destiny. We’ve just got to get better at the little things.”Notes: West has won the past two meetings and leads the series 25-16. ... Last year West survived 34-31 in a game that featured nine lead changes. Caman Chaplin put the Titans on his back, running 38 times for 357 yards and scoring the go-ahead TD in the closing sec-onds. ... Since 1996, 14 of the 27 Davie-West showdowns have been decided by eight points or less. Friday night to be special West Forsyth here for Davie homecoming By Brian PittsDavie Enterprise Record It didn’t matter that Ty Miller threw three touchdown passes and surpassed 300 yards for the third game in a row. It didn’t matter that Markel Summers had more than 100 rushing yards by halftime. It didn’t matter that receivers Ethan Driver, Braddock Coleman and Grey Deal delivered superlative efforts. It didn’t matter that Da-vie’s football team came up with two gutty TD drives on its last two possessions. It didn’t matter in the end because Mt. Tabor had the do-it-all Shamarius “Snook” Peterkin, who played offense, defense and special teams, caught two TD passes and blocked the extra point with 3:48 remaining to give the Spartans a 35-34 victory in a tense thriller Friday in Winston-Salem. Davie’s first loss in six games cut deeply. It marked a squandered opportunity for the War Eagles (5-2, 3-1 Central Piedmont Con-ference), who could have seized sole possession of first place in the CPC with a win. Now they find themselves in a three-way tie for first with East Forsyth and West Forsyth. Playing the role of spoiler, the Spartans (3-4, 1-3) stopped a three-game slide. “It came down to little things,” Davie coach Tim Devericks said. “They were a little bit better at the little things than us tonight - block-ing, tackling and taking care of what they needed to take care of.”While Davie watched its lon-gest winning streak (five) in sev-en seasons come to an end, the Spartans were out-of-their-minds happy. From their viewpoint, they deserved a happy ending after los- Davie falls short, 35-34 ing by one point each of the past two weeks (29-28 to Reynolds, 21-20 to East). “The biggest thing is, we stayed together tonight,” Tabor coach Tiesuan Brown said. “We never folded and we stayed focussed the whole second half. Last week (when Tabor missed a field goal before East marched 80 yards and won with five seconds on the clock), we lost focus the last two minutes.”In the opening minutes, Ta- bor’s offense moved from its 20 to the Davie 34, where it faced fourth-and-5. Brown called for the wildcat and put Peterkin, a star receiver, at QB. Peterkin tried the right end, but Gavin Reese and Connor Hood stopped him a yard short. Davie’s offense immediately went to work. After handing off to Summers on six of Davie’s first eight plays, Miller wrong-footed the defense by keeping it around left end. He rumbled for 11 yards, but Davie suffered a tough break at the end of the play. A defender knocked the ball out and lineback-er John Fowler scooped the ball and scored on a 62-yard fumble re-turn. That energized a Tabor team that only managed one offensive score in the first half. Davie’s answer was a 10-play, 72-yard drive. On fourth-and-1 from the Tabor 39, Summers churned for three.

She hit a triple in her first at-bat of the season and followed that up with a home run. She is also doing amazing at first base. Darren Brooks of the intermediate Braves is in his second season playing and he loves every minute of it. He con- tinues to grow and is a coach’s dream because he listens, tries his hardest and absorbs. In one game, he hit to get on base and then stole every base to scorae to help his team win. He also caught a popup at second, something he has worked hard on. Cody Ford and Josiah McDonald of the machine pitch Diamondbacks did amazing in the field and at the plate. McDonald hit a hard one to the outfield for a double, and Ford hit a single both times at-bat. Beckett Carter of the machine pitch Marlins has been working hard on hitting to start the season, and it showed in his last game, going 2 for 2 with two hard singles to the outfield. The second was a key hit in propelling his team to victory. He is a greater kid who will do what the coach needs or asks for his team.

Davie’s defense forced a three-and-out and the of-fense marched 83 yards in 12 plays. Miller’s throw to Summers was off target, but Summers went low to catch it and broke loose for 20 yards. The next big play was a stunning 16-yard hookup with Kez Stockton, a first-year senior who had not made a reception all season. Summers took care of the final 20 yards, gaining 14 on a pass play and six on three straight runs as Davie moved in front 14-7. Davie was firmly in con-trol when Nathaniel Jordan, Trey’von Doulin and Jerred Alexander sacked Tabor QB Lane Albright, Tabor went three-and-out again and Miller connected with Driver for 13 yards and with Deal for 12. Davie had first-and-goal at the 11 and could taste a two-TD lead. But Tabor’s defense stood strong and changed the momentum. Dever-icks decided to go for it on fourth-and-3 from the Tabor 4. Miller couldn’t find an open man, scrambled and finally floated a desperation pass that wound up in the hands of a diving KJ John-son of Tabor. The intercep-tion in the end zone allowed the Spartans to take over at the 20-yard line instead of the 4, and three plays later, Albright went deep to Peter-kin, who beat two defenders on a go route down the left sideline.

Instead of running out the clock, Davie stayed in attack mode. Summers ran for 12 yards before Coleman caught back-to-back passes for nine and 35 yards. An incomplete pass from the Tabor 12 stopped the clock at :07. Miller lofted a rain-bow to the back right corner of the end zone. With the clock at 0:00, Driver made an incredible catch between two defenders as he was falling down. We note again: Despite only having one timeout, Davie roared 73 yards in six plays and 44 seconds to take a 21-14 lead into inter-mission. That’s an absurdity. “I wanted us to get in position (with two runs) and then see what kind of time we had left,” Devericks said. “I knew they were going to come out in a three-man front, so I wanted to run it on first down and see what we could get. Then try to pick up the pace from there.”“I told the guys we’ve got to shake it off,” Brown said. “We know they can score. We told our offense: ‘Y’all have to be able to match them.’”After absorbing that gut-punch, the Spartans showed tremendous heart. In the first series of the third quarter, Peterkin got behind the secondary. Albright’s bomb hit his hands inside the Da-vie 5, but Peterkin dropped what would have been a 54-yard TD. But running back Zion Thompson kept the drive alive by powering four yards on fourth-and-2 from the Davie 35. Four plays later, Albright went back to Peterkin, a highly-recruited 6-2 junior. He towered over a DB and secured a 15-yard TD that tied the game 21-21. “Believe it or not, I had to get him off the bench,” Brown said of Peterkin, who sat out two plays after the drop. “He was down in the dumps. I said: ‘Look here, buddy, that doesn’t matter. You’re our guy. Everybody on this sideline believes in you. Get back in the game.’ He got up and made another big play.”Then the Spartans start-ed dialing up blitzes and Miller was under near con-stant pressure. When they dropped Miller 19 yards back, it was just the second sack allowed in three games. Miller was sacked again for minus-11 and Davie punted. “When we saw (Miller) twist his ankle (on a sack), I started bringing more pres-sure,” Brown said. When Albright handed off to Kevin Frazier, who lined up at fullback in a short-yardage package, on a fourth-and-1 play from the Davie 36, it was his first and only carry of the night. He moved the pile 23 yards to the Davie 13. Albright would score on a 2-yard keeper and Tabor had a 28-21 lead with 11:59 to go. “We were able to run the ball in the second half,” Brown said. “That made the difference. When we were able to run, that eats the clock up. We had the ball for a long time (9:33 of the 12 minutes) in the third quarter. It was will; we had to will it.”The seven-point deficit made it imperative for Da-vie’s offense to respond, and it did just that. A third-and-10 pass to Deal was going to end up well short of the marker, but defensive pass interference gave Davie new life. Devericks kept the offense on the field when it was fourth-and-6 from the Tabor 47. Miller ducked a blitzer, slipped past a sec-ond defender and made a breathtaking 7-yard run. On the next play, Miller hit Deal over the middle, resulting in 33 yards to the Tabor 7. On third-and-goal, Miller found Deal again, this time in the end zone. The extra-point snap was high, but Miller gathered it and Max McCall split the uprights to make it 28-28 with 8:44 left. “They put a lot of pres-sure on you with the passing game,” Brown said. “If you’re covering the pass, it opens up running lanes. Hats off to (Devericks). They do a really good job with what they do.”Coleman, the kicker, sur-prised Tabor with an onside kick. Coleman nearly re-covered it for the third time this season, but Tabor won the scrum and started from its 48. On first play of the series, Thompson, who only had 33 yards on nine runs to that point, got around right end and sped 52 yards to the end zone. Just like that, Tabor was back on top 35-28. It was the longest run that Davie’s allowed all sea-son. After struggling to find room for three-plus quarters, Thompson gained 97 yards on his final six rushes. “We tried to preach all week that they were going to be a physical team,” De-vericks said. “I don’t know if we rose to the occasion at critical times. At times we were probably the more physical team, but at critical times they had a little bit more hunger than us after being snake-bit the last two weeks. Credit to them and their staff for making those guys believe.” The twists and turns kept coming. On fourth-and-5 from the Davie 40, Miller and Driver connected for nine. Miller was sacked for minus-13, but Davie refused to buckle. A third-and-23 pass to Driver produced 19 yards, and Tabor jumped offsides on fourth-and-4 to give Davie a fresh set of downs. On third-and-8, the Tabor secondary lost Coleman, who sliced over the middle for an 18-yard pickup. The next play was yet another electric moment, with Miller zipping one over the middle and hitting Driv-er in stride for a 20-yard TD. Davie’s offense had come through in the clutch again, driving 65 yards in 11 plays and cutting Tabor’s lead to 35-34 with the PAT pending. “We knew it was going to be this type of game,” Brown said. “That kid (Mill-er) is phenomenal, so we knew he was going to make plays.”“They were blitzing six and at times we can only block five,” Devericks said. “So we tried (to counter) that by going empty and not letting them get six in there.”With 4:39 to go, Davie needed a successful PAT to force the fifth tie of the night. Davie was 24 of 31 on extra points to that point, so it wasn’t exactly automatic. Peterkin fired off the left edge and blocked McCall’s try, stunning the visiting side into silence. Then, after Tabor re-covered the onside kick, Thompson churned for three first downs, Devericks burned his final two time-outs and Albright kneeled the clock out. The War Ea-gles had fallen just short on a night their offense converted 5 of 6 fourth downs. Peterkin was the biggest reason why. He’s a special talent. As they say, some-times you tip your hat. “We didn’t miss (an as-signment),” Devericks said. “I think it was just a great effort by him.”“At the end of the game, I kissed him,” Brown said. “I said (to Peterkin): ‘Boy, I love you.’ He blocked one early in the season against Page. We saw it on film. Watching the Reagan game, the guy came close every time, yet he never sold out. I told Snook: ‘If we get on this side, we can get it done.’ When I saw him get in that stance, I knew he was all the way locked in. We discuss this: ‘Guys, this can win the game. Don’t take this (play) off.’ (Peterkin) gave it to us in all three phases tonight.”Notes: Davie’s record when scoring 34-plus points was 150-11. ... Summers, who had 25 carries for 103 yards at halftime, was lim-ited to five yards on three attempts in the second half. ... Miller had six carries for 55 yards when not counting four sacks for minus-44. ... Summers turned in his sixth straight 100-yard game. ... Miller (27 of 38 for 313 yards) matched a career high in completions and tied a Davie career record with his fifth 300-yard game. Nate Hampton (2018-19) and Alex Summers (2020-21) also had five such games. ... Driver (8-100) contin-ued his fabulous season by matching a season high in catches and achieving his fifth 100-yard game. ... Coleman (5-78) was tough as nails as he enjoyed his most catches/yards in five games. Deal (4-54 receiv-ing) was a big factor for the third consecutive week. ... The mystery guest in the of-fensive attack was Stockton, who had two catches after barely playing in the first six games. Devericks gushed at the unselfish senior. “It’s his first year playing football, so it took him a while to settle in,” he said. “But you want to talk about a great young man. I told a story yesterday at practice. He comes into the locker room, there’s money laying on the ground. He easily could have put it in his pocket; no one was around. He brings it to me. Those are the kind of kids that you love to coach. He gives great effort in practice. He’s willing to jump in and give somebody a rest. We had a mindset that he was going to get reps this week. People who do things like that and work hard all the time, they’ve got to get reps.” Short ... Nathaniel Jordan (47) and Zander Richardson surround the Spartan.

In dou-bles, Newsome/Thompson, Cranfill/Brooklyn Lakey and Bethany Jacobs/Olivia Swisher won by a combined 24-2. The seven-match win-ning streak at the end lifted Davie to 14-1 overall and 13-1 in the CPC, and Fer-ebee’s seven-year coaching record rose to 80-23. Newsome entered the CPC Tournament with a 13-2 record at No. 1. The junior is 36-7 in her stellar career. “Elliot is a heck of a player,” Ferebee said. Ev-ery year she’s gotten better. Every year she’s improved as a leader. She started kind of timid as a freshman, as most do, but this year when something needs to be done, she’s like: ‘Hey, we want to win, let’s go.’ It’s really im-pressive to see that growth from her.”Drum is a budding star at No. 2, the freshman winning 14 of 15 matches. “She’s a tournament player, but when you put a uniform on for your school as a freshman, that’s a whole new level of pressure that she hadn’t really experi-enced before,” Ferebee said. “Playing against 17-, 18-years-olds is a different ballgame. I think she came in a little nervous and anx-ious about the pressure, but man, about halfway through she started destroying her opponents. It was a whole new Corbin and every coach was like: ‘That No. 2 is go-ing to be a problem.’”Aderhold went 12-3 last year as a freshman, but that was at the four, five and six seeds. At the beginning of the season, Ferebee was a bit concerned about how the sophomore would fare at No. 3. She has responded brilliantly and posted a 13-2 record. “I have never once doubted Bailey’s athleticism and her competitive fire,” Ferebee said. “I have seen how much she’s improved since day one of freshman workouts. But I was a little nervous about her jumping Tennis ... from six to three because that’s a big jump for any player. I didn’t doubt that she wouldn’t go out there and give Davie County her all, but man, she’s had a wonderful season at three. She had some tough losses in there, but she never let it get her down, she never lingered on them. She took her lumps and said: ‘I can’t do this again, coach. How do we fix it?’ She listened and she got better.”Davie has two dynamite freshmen in the lineup, in-cluding Gibson at No. 4, where she has carved out a 12-2 mark. “In the last 18 months or so, she’s really taken (tennis) more seriously,” Ferebee said. “She’s gone out and hit with people on her own. This year she’s shown an excellent amount of growth. I’ve had parents tell me: ‘Leah has really got-ten a lot better this year.’”Cranfill and Thompson are two seniors who have enjoyed breakout years. Af-ter only getting one start as a junior, Cranfill has delivered 10 wins in 11 tries at four and five this year. Thompson went 4-3 as a freshman, 3-1 as a sophomore and didn’t see any singles action as a junior. How about this year? She’s 11-3 at five and six. “Ali had to shake off some rust (after missing matches with sickness) at the beginning,” he said. “But after that, some of those matches took two hours, but Ali was not going to lose. She never started regularly before her senior year, but nine times out of 10 I don’t have to worry about Ali at five. It might take awhile, but I don’t have to worry about Ali. She’s going to find a way to win. “(Thompson) was a spot starter in the past. She defi-nitely had some nerves in the beginning, but once she got a couple matches under her belt, she knew she could win. There was a day at practice where something clicked; it was right after the first Tabor match. I don’t know what it was, but she’s played lights out since then. The Gab at the end of the season was a totally different Gab of the first three years. I’m super proud of her.”And oh yeah, don’t forget sophomore Casey Cao, who has filled in occasionally at No. 6 and come through every time (5-0 record). “She won three matches against Reynolds and Rea-gan,” he said. “I mean, that’s a heck of an introduction to the starting lineup. What I love about Casey is she’s got that competitive drive and she’s going to win for Davie County. While she didn’t start a ton this year, Casey’s jump from her freshman to her sophomore year has been remarkable. She’s been hitting with tennis pros. You can definitely tell she’s got some skill and she’s ready to step into a spot next year and help us win again.”Davie’s first three-peat happened from 1975-77 in the North Piedmont Con-ference. Then Davie won three straight crowns from 2016-18. 3 losing streak for JV footballDavie’s JV football team fell for the third week in a row, 28-0 at home to Mt. Tabor on Oct. 5. After losing to East Forsyth and Reagan, the War Eagles (3-4, 1-3 CPC) suffered their largest setback of the season. The Spartans improved to 4-3. Davie volleyball has costly loss at WestIn a showdown for second place in the CPC, Davie’s varsity volleyball team stumbled, losing 3-2 at West Forsyth on Oct. 5. Despite beating West 3-1 in September, despite winning six of the previous seven meetings, the War Eagles (12-6 overall) slipped into a tie for third. The scores were 25-20, 21-25, 22-25, 25-9, 6-15. When the week ended, Reagan was first at 12-0, West (14-6) was second at 9-3 and Davie and East Forsyth were third at 8-4. Two days earlier, Davie had no trouble with visiting Mt. Tabor, winning in three sets as the Spartans sank to 3-11. Davie’s JV beat Tabor and lost to West. Both matches went two sets. Davie’s record improved to 11-6 overall and 8-4 in the league. Soccer teams lose to Reynolds Davie’s varsity soccer team lost 8-0 at home to Reynolds on Oct. 4. While the Demons improved to 10-5-2, Davie fell to 1-14. Meanwhile, Davie’s JV suffered a painful 1-0 loss to Reynolds. After going 2-0-1 in their previous three games, the War Eagles slipped to 2-3 in one-goal games. By Brian PittsEnterprise Record The craziest thing hap-pened in Friday’s football game between visiting Hobbton and Pender. The Patriots gave up 83 points, yet won going away. The final score turned heads all over the state: Pender 106, Hobbton 83. There’s a Davie County con-nection to the highest-scor-ing game ever in the NCH- Eanes’ team scores 106 en route to state record SAA annals: Pender coach Tom Eanes, 67, is a 1974 Davie graduate. He quarter-backed the 1973 War Eagles to an 8-2-1 season. Hobbton and Pender combined for 189 points even though the game was stopped with a little over a minute remaining in the fourth quarter because the field lights shut off at 11 p.m. “I’m pretty tired,” Eanes told the Wilmington Star- News. “It was a heck of a ballgame. I don’t know if we could tackle anybody.”The Patriots averaged about 2.2 points a minute on a night when they attempted two passes, completing one for three yards. They pound-ed away on the ground 76 times, with junior running backs Jeremiah Johnson (44 carries, 377 yards, six touchdowns) and Jassiah Hill (17 carries, 291 yards, six TDs) combining for 668 rushing yards and 12 TDs. In all, Pender rolled up 912 yards on the ground. Pender had a 40-29 lead at the end of the first quar-ter. The Wildcats outscored Pender 20-14 in the second quarter, leaving the halftime score at 54-49 in favor of the Patriots, who took a 70-63 lead into the fourth. Pender went on a 36-20 run in the fourth and improved to 4-3. “(The players) were just so excited to get a win, and it was a total team effort to get it done,” Eanes said. This was not the first time the Patriots’ offense went bananas; they opened the season with an 88-34 win over Lejeune. The previous state record for combined points was 153 set in 2021 when Midway defeated Hobbton 80-73. “The game should have been ours,” coach Scott McBain said. “We had many opportunities to win it.”Although the JV is 1-5-1 in the CPC, it still has a shot at a winning record. The overall mark is 5-6-1. “Every game is getting better and better, (but) we need to move the mentality from ‘me’ to ‘we,’” McBain said. “We have tough games ahead if we don’t come up with a program to win.”South girls tennis moves to 5-3 The South Davie girls tennis team defeated West Rowan 6-3. No. 1 Scarlett Brock (6-3), No. 2 Clara Parsley (6-3), No. 4 Iris Marion (6-0) and No. 5 EG Snow (6-0) picked up victories in singles. In doubles, Brock/Parsley and Snow/Sierra Graydon won 6-5 and 6-1, respectively, as coach Andy Soots’ squad improved to 5-3. Alania York/Piper Crotts and Kylie Edwards/Annaleigh Deel had 6-0 wins in exhibition play.

The championship meet was held at South Davie on Oct. 5. With seven teams and 60 females competing, K. Starkey put the final touches on an amazing sev-enth-grade season with a time of 13:03.27. The Jaguars scored 32 points, 18 better than the runner-up, by taking three The Ellis girls tennis team’s final match of the season against North Davie on Oct. 2 was more of the same. The Jaguars rolled 9-0 to complete a 9-0 season. They overwhelmed ev-eryone in their path in 2023, winning eight times by a 9-0 margin and once by an 8-1 spread (against South Davie). It’s the first perfect season in the program’s 17-year history. “They didn’t know they were making memories - all they knew is they were hav-ing fun,” seventh-year coach Amanda Cranfill said. Kate Chaffin, Sydney Ward, Olivia Rareshide, Sydney Galloway, Avery Gladd and Gabrielle Mc-Farlin all posted glittering 9-0 records in singles. Five of those six are eighth grad-ers, the exception being seventh-grader Ward. “Our team had a lot of fun together,” Cranfill said. By Brian PittsEnterprise Record South Davie’s football team was missing Cam Hol-land in its playoff game at Corriher-Lipe on Oct. 3. But Bentley Caudle wasn’t a bad Plan B. Caudle filled in impres-sively at outside linebacker and helped the Tigers cruise to a 32-14 victory in the final game of the season. “Bentley got to start on defense because Cam was out, and he had a heck of a game,” coach Germain Mayfield said of the seventh grader. “I bet he hadn’t played 15 snaps all year. He had at least six solo tack-les. Bentley and Dreighton (Lunnerman) had the best defensive games.”Connor Leonard, Tyrone Speller, Lunnerman and Draeton Nance scored one touchdown each as South recorded a season high in points. Speller’s score came on a scoop-and-score from a Yellow Jacket fumble. The game was all but over at halftime (26-6 mar-gin). “Tyrone and Dreighton ran it really good,” Mayfield said. “Connor got to start because Cam was out and he scored. Draeton faked the option one time and hit it in-side for 60 yards to the goal line. Man, that was pretty.”Besides Lunnerman and Caudle, shining on defense were Speller, Jairail Sales and Elijah Tatum. “Defensively, we proba-bly played as solid as we’ve played all year,” Mayfield said. “We moved Dreighton to safety and he got downhill and took away the edge. We had been giving up big plays off the edge all year.”The game was between the four seed from the West Division (South) against the four from the East Division. While Corriher-Lipe went 2-6, the Tigers (5-3) closed with three consecutive wins to record their highest win total over the last three full seasons. Ellis 30, NR 18Finley Sink was terrific again as Ellis blew past North Rowan on the road on Oct. 3. He scored two TDs and swarmed at linebacker. “Finley was the work-horse,” assistant coach Rog-er Blalock said. “He ran fullback dives the whole time. He always does well (at linebacker).”Cannon Smith broke a TD run on Ellis’ first play from scrimmage, and Bran-don Forrest added a scoring run as the Jaguars bounced back from a 20-6 loss to Selma Burke. Among the standouts on defense were Brodie Newman, Travis Andrews, Tay Settacassie and Allen Moxley. “Brodie and Travis did pretty good on the defensive line,” Blalock said. “Tay and Allen did good at the ends. It was pretty much a complete game on both offense and defense.”This was a matchup be-tween the three seeds from each division. The Maver-icks (4-4) finished in a three-way tie for first in the East. Ellis (5-2) soared to its third straight winning season. ND 42, CG 6After enduring a brutal four-game losing streak, North Davie dismantled overmatched China Grove at home on Oct. 3. Levi Morales, a seventh grader, was flat out filthy. Not only did he throw for 305 yards, he intercepted two passes, returning one 70 yards to the end zone and returning the other 90 yards. He threw TD passes to Wade Ridenhour and Edarius Ol-iver. The quarterback/line-backer/safety also had four solo tackles. “He was all over the place on both sides of the ball,” coach Beau Byerly said. “He’s very physical, probably the most physical kid we have.”North’s other two scores were Oliver’s pick-6 and a 94-yard run by Isaiah Her-nandez. North had four INTs in all, including one from Jason Riddle. When Hernandez has the ball in his hands, he can do electrifying things. “He’s quick and he’s good at finding holes,” Byerly said. “He looked like Herschel Walker. On the first play, he ran probably 40 yards side to side trying to find something and got tackled for no gain. It was a blown play and nobody could tackle him for what seemed like a minute.”Byerly said Jeremiah Hernandez and lineman Camden Gioeli deserve defensive credit. “Jeremiah had some good plays at safety,” he said. “Camden got some good pressure on the quar-terback.” By picking up their first win since Aug. 29, the Wild-cats (4-4) finished with their most wins in three seasons. The Red Devils, who lost 27-0 to North in the opener, went 1-7. This matchup was between the five seeds from each division. “Kate and Sydney provide good leadership for their teammates on the court. They practiced hard on the weekends on their own since our court times were limited due to sharing only four courts with the boys team this year. Like most rising sixth graders, Kate and Syd-ney had played other sports, but not tennis. They were strong athletes and signed up for some tennis lessons with Bill Appelt. Kate was awarded Rookie of the Year in sixth grade and quickly became one of the top play-ers on the team. Kate is an athletic kid and she has a drive and a determination to win. She has a lot of perseverance and heart for the game. She’s a natural athlete who decided to try something new in middle school, and she’s turned out to be very good. “Similarly, Sydney trained with Kissy Merri- field and quickly improved her singles game with a strong forehand and good pace on her serve.”The squad included Mi-randa Sapp, Layla Hazlip, Sarah Elbably, Piper Davis and Carson Moger.“Coach Andy Soots (of South Davie), coach Janet Dyson (of North Davie) and I always agree that our middle school teams should be reminded that these girls will be teammates at Davie sooner than they realize, so it’s important to be kind to each other on the courts,” Cranfill said. “We recognize our middle school tennis programs are ‘feeder pro-grams’ for the high school. Middle school is the right opportunity to try a new sport to see if you like it well enough to pursue tennis in high school. “One of my goals as their coach is to ensure tennis practice and match days are the best part of their day. (Eighth grader) Avery Gladd made up a ‘victory dance’ as a joke, and that evolved into a custom for the girls to celebrate their win after each match. It’s good to see them encourage each other, laugh at themselves and enjoy team dinners together after the matches. ‘Tennis and Tacos’ were our favor-ites this year.“Our doubles teams typ-ically depended on the out-come of the singles matches and who was ready to play when a court became avail-able. (Seventh grader) Layla Hazlip joined the team for her first season and really dominated at the net. Olivia Rareshide was always de-pendable no matter who she played doubles with. I could count on her to be a calming force for her teammates. She helped keep me organized and was an important leader on the team.” 9-0: Jaguars dominate in tennis of the top six places and six of the top 15. Olivia Smith, who typically finished sec-ond or third in Ellis’ meets, was second at 13:14.34. Kristen’s older sister, eighth grader Rachel Starkey, was sixth at 14:12.36, followed by Mia Wyatt (ninth at 14:45.99), Berkley Brown (14th at 15:37.41) and Reece Rye (15th at 15:40.52). The Jaguars ran the ta-ble during the eight-meet season. “This was a strong group of runners,” coach Erica Bost said. “They practiced hard, often running on days when we didn’t have prac-tice. Kristen even went to South Davie cruises to win Kristen Starkey of Ellis was the foremost run- ner in the Tri-County Conference as a sev- enth grader.

A total of 26 teams from across North Caroli-na, Virginia and Tennessee competed on the 5k course in nearly ideal conditions. The War Eagles had perhaps their best performance of the season as 21 of the team’s 28 competitors notched either season’s best or all-time per-sonal record performances. The Davie boys start-ed things off with the first race of the morning in the championship varsity race. The raw team score had Davie tied at 71 points with Science Hill of Jonson City, Tn. However, when individ-uals not competing on full teams were removed from the count, the War Eagles’ tally came up a point short as Science Hill claimed the title 60-61. Jack Britt fol-lowed in third with 92. Junior Thomas Essic es-tablished a new personal record time of 16:16 to take second place behind Rags-dale senior John Howard, who finished in 16:02. A total of 111 runners com-pleted the race. Essic’s time demolished his previous best mark by 20 seconds. Ethan Lakey continued his stellar sophomore cam-paign with an eighth-place finish in 16:55. Junior Tyler Hill was close behind as he recorded a season’s best ef-fort of 17:02 for ninth place. Sophomore Brayden Kistner took 20th place in 17:51, while junior Aric’s Boles’ time of 18:18 was good for 32nd. Freshman Jacob Steelman ran under 19 min-utes for the first time with a big PR of 18:47. That effort landed Steelmen in 38th. Rounding out the Davie var-sity effort was sophomore Jackson Sulecki, whose 55th place finishing time of 19:11 was a 19-second PR.•••The Davie girls put a full team on the line for the first time this season and came away with a fourth-place showing. Science Hill claimed the title with 21 points to outdistance Virgin-ia’s Galileo (78), Jack Britt (94) and Davie (117). In a field of 71 finishers, senior Gracie Spicer had her best effort of the season with a 15th-place time of 21:58.

A 67 and 66 would follow. But hey, you’ve got to start somewhere. A little over a year later, Garza is a feel-good story. At Bermuda Run West on Oct. 3, the Davie senior stole the spotlight with a team-best 11-over 45. “It felt good,” Garza said. “I was kind of getting frus-trated with myself from the previous matches; I didn’t think I was doing too hot. I finally broke 50. I was kind of stuck in the (50s), so it was great. I have spent some more time on my putting, and I think that’s what has improved a lot. That’s also what shaves down your score a lot.”It was a humble begin-ning for Garza when she showed up to the first prac-tice of 2022 shortly after her family moved from Texas to Advance. “She came to the first practice just to see what it was all about,” coach Bob Donley said. “She did not have clubs. She has worked very hard since that day to get her game to where it is now.”“Spontaneously, out of the blue, I decided why not play golf?” Garza said. “No one in my family plays; I’m the only one. It was either golf or tennis and I thought golf was something differ-ent, so I went with it. SUMMIT EYE CARE | DR. VIC KHEMSARA | DR.

Sophomore Clara Phelps was the breakout performer for the War Eagle ladies. Her 27th-place finish in 22:58 was over a minute faster than her previous all-time best. Sophomore Emilia Marks placed 42nd in 24:46, while sophomore Isabella Schilling rounded out the scoring by placing 60th in 27:26. Freshmen Kinsley Shinski and Bridget Wood also competed for Davie.•••A total of 90 runners competed in the boys JV race. Science Hill claimed the team title with a near perfect score of 16 points. Davie followed with 59 as the War Eagles edged third-place South Lenoir (67). Sophomore Logan Zu-leger made his season debut after battling an injury the last six weeks. Zuleger raced to an impressive fifth place finish of 18:44. Sophomore Chris Devicente was 15th with an 18-second PR of 19:19. Senior Slade Keaton broke the 20-minute barrier for the first time with a 20th place finish of 19:50. Sophomore Jackson Shook set a new PR of nearly a minute with his 23rd place effort of 20:03. Freshman Jack Bost ran over a minute faster than ever before with a new PR of 20:42 to place 31st. Freshman Ty Greene also established a huge PR with his 35th place finish of 20:56. Not to be outdone, freshman Tyler Deaver ran a new PR of 21:39 to finish 41st. Junior Jake Hannah place 49th in 22:23. Fresh-man Patrick Brady joined the PR parade with a big improvement of 22:30 and a 51st-place finish. Sopho-more Caswell Moore turned in a season’s best effort of 22:54 to place 56th.•••Davie also had four com-petitors in the JV girls race. Sophomore Abby Lane was the first War Eagle finish-er and was followed by freshman Hayden Brown, sophomore Alexa Villa and sophomore Maggie Smith.“We did a lot of good things today,” said coach Rob Raisbeck. “Our young-er kids are showing dramatic improvement over the last six weeks. We have a bunch of our athletes running three minutes faster than they did at the start of the season. For the boys, we have an average team time of 17:12, which is the fastest team time in our eight-year tenure as coaches. And we have no seniors among our 10 fastest runners at the moment. Our girls are starting to come along as well. They are getting healthy and should continue to improve over the next month.”The team now transitions to championship season with the CPC meet sched-uled for Oct. 18 at Ivey Red-mon Park in Kernersville. The 4A Midwest Regional will follow on that same course Oct. 28. “This is the exciting time of the season,” said Rais-beck. “Reagan and Mt. Ta-bor are strong for the boys. They are the teams to beat at conference. The Mt. Tabor girls are the class of the con-ference and are among the top five teams in the state, so we are looking forward to that challenge as well.” “I went to the first prac-tice to see if I was interested. I realized I was and got clubs afterward. Annika McDan-iel let me borrow her clubs for a little while.” During the 2022 season, Garza was undaunted by the 61-67-66 start. She had the resolve to close the season with a 14-over 49 at Salem Glen. “Her positive nature nev-er left her as she was learn-ing to play,” Donley said. “She always found a way to set realistic expectations for herself, and really embraced playing golf one stroke at a time and not allowing one bad shot to influence the next shot.”This year, Garza has turned one corner after an-other. She shot 59, then 56, then 52, then 51. She hit another level at Bermuda Run West, recording five bo-geys and one par on the way to the 45. After averaging 57.6 strokes as a junior, her senior average is now 54.8. Garza feels great about her progress. “I like to keep a positive attitude and positive men-tality,” she said. “That helps me get that lower score.”As a team, the War Ea-gles are becoming increas-ingly balanced. Junior Kate Sakai (47) parred two par-3s and broke 50 for the fourth consecutive round. Junior Reese Ward shot a sea-son-best 15-over 49, and Callie Wisecarver followed with a 51. The team scores were Reagan 98, West Forsyth 107, Reynolds 138, Davie 141, Mt. Tabor 149. Garza shoots 45 at Pine Knolls Saturday, Oct. 21 • 1 PM ‘til Sold Out Take Outs Only.

Shannon Mathis, Barron Church, Connor Mathis, Megan Smith and Caleb Mathis shooting in West Virginia Connor Mathis shoots in Connecticut, and competes in doubles in pouring rain. Trapshooting brothers Connor and Caleb Mathis on the range, and at home with the awards they brought home from a summer shooting tour. By Mike BarnhardtEnterprise Record Caleb Mathis remembers well the first time he fired a shotgun.His dad had taken him to the backyard with the new gun he had just gotten for his birthday, and lined up tomato soup cans as targets.“It kicked the snot out of my arm, and from there, I was hooked,” Caleb, who along with brother Connor and other family members, spent their summer vacation winning awards at Amateur Trapshooting Association state tournaments in West Virginia, Vermont, North Carolina and Connecticutt.Caleb, a sophomore ma-joring in civil engineering at UNC Charlotte, came home with 33 awards. He shoots a Browning 725 trap combo with a double barrel and an unsingle with a precision fit stock.Connor, an eighth grad-er at William Ellis Middle School, came home with nine awards. Connor shoots a Beretta 686 for singles and handicap, and a Browning Citori for doubles, both with precision fit stocks.The sons of Shannon and Stephanie Mathis, their goal is to shoot in all 50 state tournaments. They have competed in 11 so far, and this trip was in jeopardy because Caleb had surgery for a broken collarbone in April.On this last trip, they traveled more than 3,500 miles and shot more than 7,300 targets combined. Also making the trip were sister Aubree Mathis, and grandparents Barron and Leesa Church.It wasn’t all shooting.They visited Ben & Jer-ry’s ice cream factory, the Rock of Ages granite quar-ry, saw multiple covered bridges and even crossed a floating bridge, toured a ma-ple syrup farm and the Ver-mont Teddy Bear factory.They went trout fishing on Lake Champlain, toured Newport and Narragansett Bay in Rhode Island and toured sites in Washington, Little sister Aubree takes advantage of some down time at a shoot, and enjoys a fishing trip on Lake Champlain and a creemee at a maple syrup farm in Vermont. Yes, there’s a creemee under all of those sprinkles. Oh, Shoot Davie family makes visiting trap events a vacation D.C. including the Library of Congress, the Capital (tickets courtesy Thom Til-lis), Arlington Cemetery for the changing of the guard, the World War II Memori-al, The Lincoln Memorial and The Washington Mon-ument.Connor couldn’t remem-ber his first time shooting a gun, but became interested when his brother joined the hunter education team at Ellis. Now, Connor shoots year round with the Ellis team, Tom Cowden Youth 4-H Shooting Sports Club, the Blue Ridge Claybreak-ers and at ATA shoots.“I like to see the im-provement I am able to make with hard work and practice,” Connor said. He also likes bringing home trophies and awards and making new friends at each event. He prefers doubles because it is at a faster pace.Shooting sports, he said, teaches discipline and fo-cus.Caleb’s competitive shooting career started in sixth grade at Ellis, and in 2018, he met Morgan Shaw and was introduced to com-petitive trap shooting.“I love to compete. Trap is a very competitive and an individual sport. There are good shooters at every club and you have to stay on top of your game if you want to win,” Caleb said.Making new friends, and meeting new mentors, is also important to Caleb.“The relationships are some of the biggest things that keep me coming back to the trap range,” he said. “We all compete against each other, but at the end of the day, we’re all friends and have a great time.”Both brothers plan to shoot for the rest of their lives, and both focus on fire-arm safety.“Firearm safety is always the No. 1 priority,” Caleb said. “Safety is ingrained in everything I do relating to shooting sports, and it allows me to teach the next group of youth shooters.“This sport has also giv-en me skills that stretch be-yond just shooting sports. Over the past eight years, I’ve learned people skills, critical thinking and analy-sis skills, self control, and I’ve gained several lifelong friends,” Caleb said. “These are things that will transfer over to my career and life after I graduate from col-lege.” DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD Thursday, Oct. 12, 2023 ‑ B9 Sixteen members of the Davie County 4-H Shoot-ing Sports Club competed in the 2023 NC 4-H State Shooting Sports Tourna-ment on Saturday, Sept. 30 at the Millstone 4-H Camp and adjacent John M. Lentz Hunter Education Center. “We only had three se-nior (ages 14-18) compet-itors and our senior team had a rough day and didn’t reach the podium,” Nelson Cowden said. “The good news is that it was all of their first year as seniors and they’ll be back. In shooting sports, some days are just like that.”Davie took three junior teams (ages 8-13) plus indi-viduals.The Juniors brought home quite a bit of hard-ware.

Life has been diffi-cult and challenging for him and his family. Caleb will celebrate his 14th birthday on Friday, Oct. 19. Please help make his birthday ex-tra special by sending him a birthday card to: Caleb Wil-liams, c/o Perry & Vickie Willams, 1299 Ridge Road, Mocksville, NC 27028.When I pass their mail-box, I hope it will be over-flowing with cards.From conception, Caleb has been brave and strong. Until about 12 days before his birth, no one but Jesus Christ - the Great Physician - knew he existed and took care of his every pre-term need.Many folks have asked about Caleb and our "Mira-cle on the Ridge." Let me tell you again about that precious God-sent blessing in Perry and Vickie's own words during my visit with them in December 2009:When Perry and Vickie Williams were married Oct. 18, 1988, they made Perry’s family home on Ridge Road in Davie County their home. They both dreamed of hav-ing children and grandchil-dren.Perry’s father “Sonny” died of a heart attack when Perry was 5. He spent a lot of time with his Grandpa Williams, who was a good role model. Perhaps one day he would have a little one following him around.As the years passed, there were no children - only cats and dogs. Vick-ie’s father died of colon cancer in 2002, and she had the added concern that she might develop the same. So, she began going regularly for a colonoscopy. Then in 2003 she was diagnosed as diabetic and began quarterly check-ups with a doctor. By 2007 she had gained weight and, hence, joined Weight Watchers.By September 2009 Vickie had lost 120 lbs., and she and Perry often took long walks together. But, lately she had become frustrated since her weight loss had reached a plateau regardless of what she ate or did.As she and Perry were walking on Sept. 30, she felt a pain in her lower ab-domen. She had just had her annual gynecology check-up in August, and every-thing was just fine. Her next colonoscopy and exam with the gastroenterologist was scheduled for Oct. 5 & 6. She would wait until then and tell him about the pain.“The gastroenterologist thought I might have a low-er hernia or a possible mass or blockage. He asked me if I were pregnant and I told him no. He then sent me to have a CAT scan.”The doctor was right. A baby was on the way.“When the radiologist told me that I was pregnant, I was in total shock. After the shock wore off, I was worried about what the dyes and medications might have done to the baby. I went to my gynecologist. He did an ultrasound and told me I was about 28 weeks preg-nant. “I was anxious to tell Perry but wanted to wait to tell him in person. It just wasn’t something I could tell him over the phone. I’m 39 and Perry is 50; so, my being pregnant was the far-thest thing from our minds. We had given up hope of having children years ago. Also, I had just had my an-nual gynecology check-up in August. When I got home, I told him to sit down. I had something to tell him.”It was a good thing Per-ry sat down. “I was in an absolute state of disbelief. I heard what she said, but I was just numb and could not believe what I was hearing.”Needless to say, Vick-ie and Perry were elated with the news. Their much longed-for baby would be born around Christmas or early January.“My gynecologist sent me to his obstetrician part-ner on Oct. 13. That doctor said the baby was high risk because of my weight, age, and diabetes. He scheduled me to see a neo-natal care specialist in Winston-Salem on Oct. 22.“Late Sunday night, Oct. 18, we were watching a movie. About 1 a.m. I began having some mild stomach cramps. I thought it was just gas or indigestion, but the cramps continued. We were new at this pregnancy thing and wanted to make sure that my indigestion wasn’t going to hurt our baby. About 4 a.m. we went to the emergency room at Davis. The doctor there told us I was in labor.“They put me in a deliv-ery room immediately and prepared to transport me to Forsyth. But then, there wasn’t time. So, they start-ed preparing the operating room for a c-section. But then, there wasn’t time for that either.”This baby was deter-mined to make his presence known. “So, in a little bit, I had the baby right there in the room and without any anes-thesia or medication.”On Monday, Oct. 19, at 6:59 a.m. that suspected mass burst onto the scene and became Caleb Doug-las Williams. And Vickie was again losing weight - a whopping 2 lbs. 14 ozs. that moment alone. Baby Caleb was a tiny bundle of joy and had to be transferred to the neo-na-tal unit at Catawba Valley Medical Center. Initially he had special lights, feeding tubes, respirator, etc. and was in an incubator. As the weeks passed, he was slow-ly able to shed all of these. During this time, only Caleb’s parents were per-mitted to visit. One Sunday Perry went to see Caleb, but the nurse would not let him in. “She said she was sorry but grandparents weren’t allowed in - only parents. I had to get my pass and ID and prove to her that I was his dad."
