This segment is a continuation of the Blue Heron Trail.”Meadwell added he knows that’s one of the things that has been a priority for Mayor Rick Cross, who was out of town. Cross has gone on record as saying the first phase of the Blue Heron Trail is a key part of a long-term goal of having a fully connected community.“We had our engineer, John Grey, to go out and map,” Meadwell said. “There’s a lot of different property owners in that area through there, lots of easements and things like that.

Tell us what you think Guest editorialAre computers taking over our everyday lives? When was the last time you built a snowman?Having lived in Connecticutt for 26 years in the middle of my life, it’s not really fair for me to answer that, but I did grow up here in the Piedmont, and can remember as a child getting enough snow to build a snowman or three.I have pictures and 8mm film to prove it if you doubt me.Building snowmen, sledding the golf course, making snow angels, all things that I did, right here in the middle of North Carolina, as a child, are memories that I cherish as the weather gets colder.Unfortunately, over the years, our winters have become more about rain and ice and less about snow. I don’t miss the neverending gray of winter in New England, mind you, but I do miss the magic of a snowfall.Maybe in truth it’s just the magic that I miss. The magic of the snow covering everything in a pristine white blanket, and silence during the snowfall when it’s so quiet you can actually hear the flakes falling. Snow even has a scent that is ever so light, but if you stop and wait, you will pick it up on the breeze that always comes with it.The Farmer’s Almanac, which boasts an 80-85 percent accuracy rate, says this winter ahead will be another one of rain for us. Some snow will fall in the mountains, but even there, not much. El Nino means a wet winter, not a snowy one, sadly.So how can I find that magical feeling that I so love about a fresh snow fall?I think the feeling comes from a sense of awe, of wonder and of connection.I am in awe of what nature creates, how it freez-es individual bits of moisture into flakes that are all unique, and that those tiny flakes come together to create a substantial enough collection that it covers everything – roads, houses, streets, yards, plants, cars, all of it. And in covering it all, it makes it both clean and uniform. It makes it all the same – new Mercedes and old Toyotas, expensive landscaping and hardscrab-ble ground, it’s all just white stuff. It levels the playing field for a minute.It fills me with wonder that the silence and the peaceful atmosphere brings everything to a stop, just for a moment. I don’t know anyone who is not in-clined, if only for a second, to stop and watch the snow fall.And connection because we’re all impacted by it, whether schools are cancelled, work is delayed, roads are closed, or we just have to turn up the heat, we are all affected by a snowfall.It makes me feel we are, in fact, still one body, one group of humans affected together, and it reminds me that we still need each other. If I have a four wheel drive Jeep and you need a ride because you can’t drive in snow, I’m not going to ask about your beliefs or your politics or, gasp, your sex life. I’m going to open the passenger door for you.Snow, in all its beauty and simple ele-gance and yes, it’s effect on our lives, has a way of bringing us all back to the same table. Shared dinners by candlelight when the power goes out, shared warmth by fireplaces for those who have none, shared car rides among those who have vehicles equipped for the weather, shared company among those who are alone and should not be. A cup of hot chocolate, as it were, for our souls. That’s what snow feels like to me.So I am sorry we are not going to be seeing much of it this year, if at all. But I would suggest we can still capture that awe, that wonder, that connection, if we are willing to behave as if we DO have snow, even if it’s not actually here.If you help a neighbor by giving them a lift some-where, or by checking in because you know they are alone in the early-dark days; if you volunteer at the shelter or soup kitchen now and then; if you just say hello to those you pass on the street as you walk, I can guarantee you, the sense of awe, and of joy, will be there.I can’t invite you to build a snowman with me, this year at least. But I can invite you to experience the feeling you get when the snow falls, and in that mo-ment, all seems right and beautiful in our world.Elisabeth Strillacci is a former editor of the Salis-bury Post. Elisabeth Strillacci Snowfalls make it all the same By Mike WaldenNCSU Many experts say humans tend to focus on bad news over good news. The logic is that bad news can threaten our well-being—perhaps our very existence—whereas good news may make life better but often is not life-changing.We tend to see these reactions to economic news. For example, big declines in employment will often get head-lines, whereas similar increases in jobs will receive a men-tion, but maybe not a headline.Like most time periods, today’s economic news is a mix of bad and good. My goal in today’s column is to pres-ent both, and then let you decide which should be getting top billing in the media.Let’s begin with the bad news. Many surveys show in-flation is the top economic issue among households. In-flation has a double-barreled negative impact on house-hold budgets. First, by definition, higher inflation means the prices of items we buy are rising faster. Second, if our income doesn’t increase at the same pace—which is often the case—our standard of living drops.Because the average worker’s earnings have not kept pace with inflation since 2020, the purchasing power of household earnings has fallen 7%. This cut in our stan-dard of living is not unique; it usually happens with rap-idly rising prices. And although most household earnings will catch up when high inflation subsides, it usually takes years for this to occur.Interest rates for borrowing are another big negative news item. In the last two years, the average interest rate on a home mortgage has doubled, and credit card inter-est rates have risen six percentage points. These increases have made it harder for people to buy homes and other expensive products that require borrowing. The high rates also mean households must devote more of their income to servicing their debt. Household payments on debt as a percentage of personal income are now higher than they were prior to the pandemic.Finally, gas prices are a concern. Although today’s price of $3.50 to $4 per gallon is well below the $5 a gallon in mid-2022, drivers still remember the $2 to $3 per gallon price during the years just prior to the pandemic. Further-more, if the new war in the Middle East restricts world oil supplies, gas prices could go much higher.The result of this bad news is summarized in how households evaluate their personal financial situation. The Federal Reserve conducts an annual survey on this is-sue. The latest survey from 2022 shows the percentage of households rating their personal finances good or excellent continues to drop, extending a trend that began in 2020.Now on to the good news. Although average consumer prices are still rising, the increases are moderating. During the summer of 2022, average consumer prices were rising 9% year-over-year. The latest year-over-year inflation rate is now 3.7%. The Federal Reserve, which is the key player in controlling inflation, has a goal of reaching a 2% year-over-year inflation rate. The 2% rate is significantly lower than the 3.8% annual average over the past 50 years.The economy also continues to grow. The value (after removing inflation) of all products and services produced in the nation, called gross domestic product or GDP, has been rising at a similar pace in the past two years as it did in the two years prior to the pandemic. The situation is the same in North Carolina.Of course, jobs are one of the key measures of eco-nomic progress. Both the nation and North Carolina have had full recoveries from the jobs lost during the pandemic. North Carolina now has 7% more jobs than pre-pandemic, growth that’s more than twice as fast as the nation’s gain of 3%. North Carolina’s job growth rate has also accelerated from its pace before the pandemic, while the national job growth rate has remained the same. A tentative conclusion is that North Carolina has become even more attractive as a home for businesses and households after the pandemic than before.It’s also informative to go behind the aggregate job totals to look at what they can tell us about shifts in the economy. Again, comparing current job numbers to those immediately before the pandemic (February 2020), only two major economic sectors—manufacturing and gov-ernment—have fewer jobs. The largest job gains, all over 10%, have been in transportation and warehousing, profes-sional positions, the financial sector and technology. The smallest job growth rates occurred in clerical jobs, retail trade, personal services and the leisure/hospitality sector.An observation from this dichotomy of fast-growing and slow-growing job sectors: On average, the jobs in the fast-growing sectors tend to pay high or medium salaries. In contrast, the sectors with slow job growth have much lower average salaries. An initial conclusion is that the North Carolina job market in the post-pandemic economy is shifting away from lower-paying employment to medi-um and higher-paying employment.One last piece of good news concerns the labor short-age. Labor force participation—a measure of the percent-age of potential workers who are working or looking for work—plunged during the pandemic and remained lower even as the economic recovery began. Compared to its pre-pandemic level, North Carolina’s labor force partici-pation rate dropped more than the national rate. The good news is that today, both the national and North Carolina labor force participation rates are at 99% of their pre-coro-navirus rates, with more upward trends likely to come.All together, there is both good and bad news about the economy. You will need to balance the two components and decide if the recent news is a net plus or a net minus. Mike Walden is a William Neal Reynolds Distinguished Professor Emeritus at North Carolina State University. Which dominates, bad or good economic news? “Blow up your TV. Throw away your paper. Move to the country. Build you a home.”- John PrineIt’s getting scarier and scarier out there.And I’m not talking about the ghosts and goblins that turn a one-day holiday into a two-month affair at this time of the year.I’m talking about technology.This AI, or artificial intelligence, may be the be-ginning of the end. If you’ve ever tried a pair of those reality goggles, you have a small idea of what AI can do.While it has been used for years, with beneficial results, AI is becoming more mainstream. There, it can fall into the wrong hands (The same as has hap-pened with social media.) And it could render many of us useless in the workplace. No jokes here; I know many of you al-ready think of journalists as useless. Would you rath-er have a computer writing the news for you? Heck, that computer can figure out exactly what you will read, what time and day you will read it, how you will react. Maybe I am useless.To put it too simply, artificial intelligence includes the simulation of the human thought process by a machine. They can make voices and images look like a real person, even say the things the machine, or computer, thinks a particular person would say in a certain situation.Yes, it’s hard to fathom. And yes, it’s actually been here for quite a while. It’s just getting better and better and more and more popular, and even more importantly, less expensive. Have you ever received one of those phone calls where the voice calls you by name, but you quickly figure out this may not be a real person on the other end? Thank AI.Do you get advertisements on your social media feeds that actually match what you like? Thank AI.Do you get incorrect information labeled as true? Thank AI.Unfortunately, AI is better at performing many tasks than we are. No distractions. Fewer errors. More consistent.We would be facing more of this, but it’s expen-sive. Like most technology, that expense is going down, meaning we’ll see more of it. And as more and more people and businesses integrate AI technology, that data base builds for the next user.AI can be as simple as training a machine to per-form a certain task in a factory, or as elaborate as replicating the cognitive abilities of the human brain, even emotion.That’s where it gets scary.If any person or machine can figure out the way I think, I’m changing my way of thinking. That’s per-sonal. A machine cannot feel emotion; but it can rec-ognize when a certain emotion is warranted.Like most inventions, AI should be a good thing.But like most inventions, AI can be used for bad things. And rest assured, that is already happening in places we don’t even recognize. It will be up to us to recognize the difference.John Prine was right. We need to live more simply. We don’t need a computer to tell us what we need to do.Come on AI machine, guess what I’m thinking right now.- Mike Barnhardt DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Oct. 26, 2023 - 3 The Literary Corner: Renegade Writers Guild A True StoryBy Julie Terry CartnerAs dementia took a stronger hold, Martha’s lucid days were infrequent, yet occasionally she remembered herself, the bright-eyed, determined young lady looking at the bril-liant array of options waving before her like the flags on the masthead of a ship. She knew she was an aberration to many and beyond confusing to her parents. She knew the expectations for her, or any woman over the age of sixteen, were to marry and have babies, and to run a household.And she wanted that, but she also wanted more. She was smart; some believed, too smart for a girl. She wanted to be a teacher. She especially wanted to teach girls – to teach them that they could be more, that they didn’t need to bend to the low expectations for women in the 1930’s and beyond.Already she’d done more than many, graduating as valedictorian, then going to college. How she’d loved college. The freedom, the atmosphere, the friendships. School was easy for her, and she’d eagerly absorbed the skills she’d needed to be an educator. For the first time in her life, the arduous work of farming had been supplanted by academia. Instead of hoeing beans, she studied philos-ophy, psychology, and methods of education.She’d gone home every summer and worked on the farm, but that only made her more determined to succeed. And then, on Christmas break during her sophomore year, she’d met Lloyd, a slightly older man already running his own farm. They’d met at the town’s Christmas party. He was smart, articulate, and mature. Traditional conversa-tion had quickly morphed to deeper topics: government, religion, and baseball. They’d danced the night away, and he’d asked her for a date. They’d gone sledding and ice skating, and when snow had accumulated, he took her out in his horse-drawn sleigh. The holiday flew by, and soon, she was kissing him goodbye at the train station.Second semester was filled with classes, studying, and long soulful letters. For the first time, Martha questioned her choices. But summer was coming. She’d have three long months with him, and then just one more year of school. Then she could return home, get a teaching job, and marry this man who had become so important to her.And so, the summer started. Lloyd, of course, didn’t have the free time that he’d had in the winter, but occa-sionally, he’d break away for an afternoon at the beach, and in the evenings, after the supper dishes had been washed, he’d call, continuing his courtship.

As September and the end of summer neared, Lloyd and Martha sat on her family’s porch swing, exchanging conversation and kisses. Suddenly, Lloyd slid off the seat, and, dropping to one knee, he proposed.Martha’s joy, however, lasted only seconds. The pro-posal came with a caveat. “I’m not willing to wait for you, Martha,” he said. If you accept, you also agree to leave college. Instead of returning to school, you will stay home and marry me.” At Martha’s silence, he continued. “I ex-pect you to be my wife before the last harvest is in.” At Martha’s conflicted face, he stated, in non-negotia-ble terms, “College or me, Martha; that’s your choice.” Then he added, “You were born to be a wife and mother, Martha, not a teacher.Martha and Lloyd were married in the Congregational Church three months later. Martha exchanged her dreams of being a teacher for the life of a farm wife. Cultural pres-sure deemed that women marry and raise families, and no-body wanted to be labeled an old maid.She cooked and cleaned, canned and preserved, and raised five children, all with little help from her husband who farmed, then fished and hunted with his cronies when he had down time. He never hesitated to point out her fail-ings, especially after he found himself a mistress a few towns away.Slowly, she slid into dementia, deeper and deeper, until the scars of unfulfilled dreams, the slaps of verbal taunts and the bruises of emotional abuse could no longer harm her.Domestic abuse takes many forms. We must work to-gether to ensure that all people know their value and have the opportunity to meet their full potential. Sand in the HourglassBy Gaye HootsI started the drive back to Oriental with thoughts of a close friend with dementia who had just been hospitalized with pneumonia. One of the last things she said to me this week was, “It gets harder as we get older, but I don’t want to die yet.” Another friend from school days has overcome numerous health obstacles and fought valiantly but seems to be losing his battle. A family friend has been in a health-care facility and is now in Hospice; another in his nineties undergoing surgery for broken legs.My prayers were for each of them to be able to live if they still desired to live, and it was God’s will. I bought my Bojangles ham and tomato biscuit and parked in the bank’s parking lot facing the restaurant in front of it to enjoy my breakfast. I am not one to use a lot of symbolism in my writing, but in my present frame of mind, I caught move-ment in the air as six vultures lit on top of the restaurant and looked at me.My brother is now in Hospice, and his daughter is starting a one-year breast cancer treatment that consists of chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery. My prayers are with them daily.I did not want to start a four-hour drive with this vision of vultures in my mind, so I decided to focus on my re-cent happy memories. I spent time with my daughters and granddaughters this week. My great-granddaughter ate a meal with me and shared pictures of prom night and her senior picture. This girl is a blessing and makes all our family happy. She will attend the local community college and then pursue a four-year degree in education.My great-niece is a freshman and posted a lovely prom picture. She has just been elected vice president of her class. All of Faye’s grandchildren are a blessing. My grandson Cassidy just celebrated his birthday, and my grandson Vann is graduating from the Navy’s EOD train-ing, where he spent two grueling years in special training. We are all in good health.Nick and Faye’s family are recovering from their loss and supporting each other. I spent time with several friends from elementary and high school. Several of these friends are widows, and learning to navigate a new life and all were grateful for their health, families, and friends. I am impressed that they were all focused on helping others. One friend showed me a beautiful gold ring, a gift from her deceased husband, which she had lost a few years ago. While helping decorate for our recent reunion, she found it in the bottom of a box of decorations. It was like being given the gift a second time.Another positive was that I joined the Advance Meth-odist Church. This was a difficult decision as I had been a member of the Advance Baptist Church since I was nine years old and had many friends there. My parents are buried there. My decision was not based on doctrine; but on the fact that my daughter, my granddaughter, my sis-ter, and my children’s father are buried at the Methodist Church, and the present young minister so lovingly sup-ported our family when we lost Faye.A close friend took me to dinner each night and joined the church the same day as me. He sent me home with Please See Renegade - Page 7 4 - DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Oct. 26, 2023 The Davie Community Foundation celebrated its 35th anniversary on Oct. 17 at Bermuda Run Country Club. Current and former board members gathered with fund holders and guests to hear about the accomplish-ments of the foundation in the community. “The crowd enjoyed good food and fellowship with friends they had not seen in a few years while reviewing story boards that had been created to share highlights of the foundation story,” said Jane Simpson, president & CEO.The most impactful ac-complishment in the past 10 years, according to Simp-son, was completion of the 25th Anniversary 5n5 Com-munity Impact Challenge. “We were successful in raising $5 million over five years in Community Funds that could be used as needed for the Davie community. Having those dollars avail-able changed everything.”In partnership with the Mebane Charitable Foun-dation in 2014, conversa-tions around creating an all-around healthy commu-nity were held – a Healthy Davie.

Ashburn shared the im-portance of persistence in achieving success, a belief shared by his friend, Jane Simpson.After 35 years, the foun-dation in rounded numbers represents:• Gifts Received, $30 million;• Scholarships Awarded, $2.8 million;• Grants of all types, $11.6 million;• Community Grants, $3.3 million;• Funds under Manage-ment, 339; and• Assets as of Sept.30, $23 Million.Simpson wrapped up her comments by sharing the impact IGNITE DAVIE College Promise is hav-ing on young people. More than $317,000 has been in-vested in 325 students since its launch in 2020. Students earned 112 certificates, di-plomas and degrees and graduates are beginning to work in Davie County. Graduate Ashley Lip-scomb, Davie County para-medic, and current student Jack Jarvis, Golding Award winner, were introduced as examples of community in-vestments.“IGNITE DAVIE Col-lege Promise if within $250,000 of its $3 million goal,” said Simpson. “Let’s get this finished by Dec. 31 and start the new year look-ing at new opportunities like raising math scores and endowment funding for Da-vie County Schools.”At the end of her re-marks, Phil Fuller and the foundation board presented Simpson with a silver tray to commemorate her 20 years of service to the foun-dation. “It has been a joy-ful journey,” said Simpson. “It is an honor to do what I do with so many caring and generous people. Davie County people really care about their community and each other.”Creating a foundation for Davie County was one of six goals of the “Qual-ity of Life” Task Force re-port from the Davie Futures Committee. Six men de-cided it was an idea worth pursuing in 1988: Bert Bahnson, John Brock, Peter Hairston, George Martin, Kent Mathewson, and RC Smith. Foundation President Kent Mathewson and Board Chair Bill Johnson agreed to solicit private dona-tions to help build the Da-vie Campus of Davidson County Community Col-lege and the Helen C. Gantt Child Development Cen-ter. The combined projects represented gifts of almost $1.5 million from the Davie community.Soon after the retirement of Mathewson in 1999, Ken Dwiggins took the reins and led the foundation through its own reorganization. He had retired from Ford Motor Co. and returned to Davie County to live. Dwiggins, along with the then chair, Joan Carter, set the founda-tion in motion to follow the model of other community foundations throughout the state.On April 1,2003, Jane Simpson was hired as the first full-time staff and sig-nificant endowment build-ing began.

With all these positive thoughts and Bojangles biscuit under my belt, I smiled and waved goodbye to the vultures. WillpowerBy Marie CraigHere I sit in my recliner on my day off just wasting time. I know I need to get up and accomplish great things, but it’s so nice to just goof off. It seems that many things “stand on one foot” waiting to be challenged to achieve more positive results. This point of time, where a decision makes a great difference, happens to all of us. In the New Testament, Paul writes that he doesn’t have complete con-trol over himself in making wise choices and being valiant. Complete mastery of self-control is one of life’s hardest goals.Years ago, I was driving to a distant location and wished to have some distraction from constantly realizing how far I had yet to drive. My car radio found a talk by a minis-ter who described this moment of making good choices to achieve your maximum potential. He said that receiving the gospel and accepting it was like the man who went to bed one autumn evening. During the night, the weather turned much colder, and he woke up freezing. He knew that across the room was a nice fuzzy warm blanket. If he got up and put it on his bed, he would soon be warm and go back to sleep. But, as he lay there visualizing this, he talked himself out of getting up. He’d have to step on the cold floor; he might stump his toe on the furniture; he might fall getting back into bed; he might step on the cat’s tail, etc. So he lay there all night awake, thinking how nice it would be to have that warm blanket and resulting sleep. I appreciate that visual story and think it describes reti-cence in doing the things we need to accomplish. Renegade ...

Hazen & Sawyer is the consulting engineer.“This assessment is for the town’s sewer infrastruc-ture, which is within the Bermuda Run East area,” he said. “There are 20 HOA presidents representing the neighborhoods of the town.”• There also was the re-quest to provide opportuni-ties for pedestrians to navi-gate the streets in Bermuda Run East.“It’s been talked about for some years,” Meadwell said. “The streets within Bermuda Run East were not designed to accommodate pedestrian ways, resulting in residents only having the option to either walk, run or bike in the street trav-el ways, which is a safety concern. The town is study-ing options and designs to incorporate a pedestrian element within the exist-ing street structure and sys-tems.”• Then there was the Aug. 22 town hall meeting at WinMock where more than 300 residents attended to ask questions and voice their opinions on key issues.Council member Mike BR...

More than 60 applied for the job. “We had a great deal of extraordinary applicants who were eager to become part of our college commu-nity,” Steed says. “It speaks volumes to the reputation of the college and the tremen-dous growth we’ve seen here.

They were then divided between Brannon, Cross and Mead-well to craft answers before passing those along to Brian Williams, the town attorney, for review.The goal, Brannon said, is to turn the responses into “less town documents and more reader friendly. The mayor is committed to turn-ing this around as quickly as we can and then get them back to council for a final look through.”The Planning Board also will meet this month to look at the Comprehensive Plan amendments from the Aug. 22 meeting.“We want to get that to the Planning Board to look at and approve those revi-sions and then to council for approval,” Brannon said. “We want to get it fixed and everything to be correct.”Brannon added that much thought has been giv-en to addressing future land use, including an example brought up in that meeting.“We’ve been working through what the town would look like if it was a blank slate and what we have today as far as what has been developed,” he said, “and how we think about what we want to do if we could bring those two constructs together – what we would like the town to look like if we had no lim-itations, what are we con-strained by today, and what are the levers and opportu-nities to look at our future land use and zoning to po-tentially impact changes to those things to influence the trajectory going forward.”The council:• Heard a presentation from Robert McMath, who is the Davie County NC-DOT maintenance engineer and gave an overview on the functions, services and responsibilities of his divi-sion.

Morgan and Martha Bryan with their large ex-tended family, including 9-year-old granddaughter Rebecca, who later mar-ried Daniel Boone, crossed Shallow Ford on the Yadkin River and claimed multiple acres of land near present day Farmington. The patriarch at Bryan’s Settlement was 77 years old at the time. In the settling of any frontier, someone has to be first. While explorers had wandered across the land, the Bryans emerging from the river crossing with their household goods prepared to build homes and plant fields marked the begin-ning of families calling this place home. Some of their descen-dants are still here, while others participated in the immigration across the mountains into the west.But they began our lo-cal story - a full 25 years before the War for Indepen-dence of the nation. This is worth celebrat-ing. Everyone is invited to a free commemoration on Saturday, Nov. 4 at Shal-low Ford Day Lily Farm in Huntsville. Great storytell-ing, live music, resources and the opportunity to walk to the land where they first stepped on shore begins at 10 a.m. Come step back in time, hear the stories and meet the Bryans, our first neighbors.

A nephew, Phillip Smith, started dancing on the roof to spice things up.And then, Shrek, all 8-feet tall and 6-feet wide of him, made an appear-ance in 2012. A throw away from a Burger King pro-motion, the giant inflatable Shrek attached to the roof was an expected treat on Halloween night. Sadly, Shrek fell victim to the ele-ments, and has been retired.But the party goes on.The Cozarts enjoy help-ing the young children have a fun night. They have a theme each year, every-thing from the movie Fro-zen (The entire yard was painted white.) to The Wiz-ard of Oz (The driveway was painted as the yellow brick road.)Always, there’s a stage. And dancing. They say the little ones love to get on the stage and dance.“People come from other places,” David said. “There are thousands of people coming down this street.” He likes to tell the story of just hanging out on the street and listening to peo-ple’s reactions when they saw the set up at his house. One man from Lexington said, “I wonder what crazy guy would do all of that?”Rosemary enjoys being recognized around town as the “Shrek Lady.” “Ev-erybody wants to know the Shrek has bitten the dust, but you can still expect some dancing on the roof, and a stage for visitors to dance on at the home of David and Rosemary Cozart on North Main Street in Mocksville.

Their daughters Karen and Kelly and their families do much of the work, Rosemary said. Any time they ask a local busi-ness or person to help, they do it. The decorations only go up just before the big night, and come down later that same night. Talking about it, David asks his wife to remind him to get the golf cart. He could transform it into the “Back to the Fu-ture” car for photos.“We look forward to it,” she said. “It’s become a great family time for us.”Their themes are nev-er scary, designed more for kids of all ages. The Cozarts start at 4:30 p.m., and end their show at 9.“It’s this street,” Rose-mary said. “There’s a lot of nostalgia associated with this street. It’s been won-derful. People will come and dance and dance and dance.”For the Cozarts, Hallow-een has become a family and friends reunion, with a thousand costumed little ones having a good time.“It’s been a great fami-ly time for us,” Rosemary said. “It’s brought our fam-ily closer. It’s a busy night, but so much fun.”“It’s been a ride,” David said, “all because of this street.” The circus theme draws a crowd to the stage. Of course, all of the characters were there to “follow the yellow brick road.” The Frozen theme was popular, and the Cozarts plan the celebration for the younger children with nothing scary - just fun. Is that Mickey Mouse dancing on the roof?

Continued From Page 8 representatives in atten-dance, who drove through rain from across the state to attend, were treated to an elaborate ceremony.SAR Compatriot Fred Learned (Past President Bethabara Chapter and Past President of NCSSAR) once again served as emcee and he opened the ceremo-ny by welcoming attend-ees prior to Presentation of Colors by the NCSSAR Color Guard. Guest speaker Jason Melius, historic interpret-er at Ft. Dobbs, provid-ed a talk on the times and challenges faced by the Patriots and Torries lead-ing up to and during the American Revolution. He also provided an update on the progress at the historic Shallow Ford site. Attendees were remind-ed that the Battle of the Shallow Ford took place on Oct. 14, 1780, one week after the Battle of Kings Mountain. It was at the Shallow Ford of the Yadkin River where Patriot forces con-sisting of four companies of militia from Montgom-ery County, Va., (about 160 men) marching south met three companies of North Carolina Militia from Charlotte and Salisbury (about110 men) marching north. They joined with the local Surry County Militia (about 80 men). This combined force of about 350 Patriots engaged and defeated a much larger force of more than 500 Tor-ries who had just crossed the Shallow Ford of the Yadkin River, and head-ed south, to reinforce the British army commanded by Col. Cornwallis. The battle resulted in 15 casual-ties, with 14 Loyalists and one Patriot, Captain Henry Francis of the Virginia Mi-litia, losing their lives. (A tombstone, at the site where he fell, honors Francis.) The combined Patriot victories over the Tories at Kings Mountain and the Shallow Ford, helped turn the hearts and minds of the War for America's Indepen-dence in North Carolina to the Patriots' advantage.The SAR is the leading male lineage society that perpetuates the ideals of the war for independence. As a historical, education-al, and patriotic organiza-tion, it seeks to maintain and expand the meaning of patriotism, respect for na-tional symbols, the value of American citizenship. Battle ...

The day has evolved into one of spooky folklore and legends – with horrifying costumes and sinful decadent confections. But there’s no doubt about it – after chowing down on a few candy balls and cluster bars, fright night will taste a few pounds of sugar sweeter. So sink your fangs into these holiday foods. Today’s recipes will satisfy the most die-hard, trick-or-treaters – and fill any candy-monger’s bucket with a mix of sweet and savory edibles. Get into the spirit with these easy-to-prepare party foods – and you’ll scare up a few ap-petites, for sure. A few sophisticated treats will leave folks howling for another tasty bite.With stories and costumes that bring back to life dark histories of scary witches, ethereal ghosts, frightful zombies, and shape-shifting werewolves - these tales of dark beings and scary spooks coming back from the grave are a large part of American folklore.But what’s not folklore is the frightening world we’re living in today – a period of monstrous and scary times. Creating more uncer-tainty is the fact that life continu-ally changes and nothing stays the same. Without warning life can get scary and chill us to the bone– and who knows how or when?God’s word and ideals are cer-tainly different from our current world events. I wanted to share with you a couple of Bible verses that always provide me with God’s peace and comfort.Psalm 23: 4 reads, “Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.” (NIV)Remembering that God is with us amid the worst ca-lamities can help us work our way through scary life and world events. The verse from Joshua “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discour-aged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” (NIV)Keep these verses handy as they will comfort us when we shudder with anxiety, uncertainty, and fear – or feel our world is a scary place. Stay strong in faith.

DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Oct. 26, 2023 - B1Sports By Brian PittsEnterprise Record Davie’s varsity volleyball team looked a bit wobbly in the first set of the first-round match of the state playoffs at South Iredell, but the War Eagles settled down and got over the five-set hump. The War Eagles were 0-3 in five-set battles this season, includ-ing a 3-2 loss to West Forsyth in the Central Piedmont Conference tournament semifinals at East Forsyth on Oct. 17. In the CPCT first round on Oct. 16 at Davie, the War Eagles overwhelmed the 6-17 Glenn Bobcats, seeded seventh. No. 2 Davie cruised by scores of 25-10, 25-7, 25-4. Davie had finished the regular season in a three-way tie for second, and it received the two seed in a drawing with West Forsyth (3) and East Forsyth (4). One day later at East, Davie took on West and had flashbacks to Aug. 31, when it lost 3-2 to East Forsyth, and Oct. 5, when it lost 3-2 to West. The third narrow loss of the season was 28-26, 14-25, 25-21, 16-25, 13-15. The Titans improved to 17-7 by eliminating Davie, but their “reward” was a matchup against Reagan in the final. The league’s behemoth won in three sets to run its record to 33-0. It was Reagan’s 24th victory in three sets out of 26 tries. The Raiders had won 78 of 80 sets in best-of-five matches. Davie 3, SI 2Four days later in Statesville, it wasn’t the smoothest ride, but Davie overcame the emotional scars from West Forsyth, overcame a slow start against South Iredell and ultimately came away with a satisfying win in the first round of the 4-A playoffs. Davie (16-7) is seeded 17th in the West Region; No. 16 South closed with a 15-12 record after finishing third in its conference. Led by Mikaylah Hutton, Davie stepped up its play after dropping the first set and won the second set 25-20. “We finally started getting it together towards the end of the second,” coach Amber Brandon said. “Mikaylah went on a huge serving run at the end of the second to give us some life.”It was a rollercoaster, though, as Davie faltered in the third set to put its back against the wall. “We got stuck in a rotation midway through that we couldn’t get out of,” Brandon said. In the fourth set, Davie stayed alive by getting major contribu-tions from Mallorie Brown, Emma Willard and Addison Wilson. “We got an early lead in the fourth thanks to a serving run from Mallorie that we kept throughout the majority of the set,” she said. “Emma had some really big digs. Addison had some tough swings in big moments.”Lauren O’Connor saved the day in the fifth set. “We got off to a slow start in the fifth, and then Lauren had a good serving run that got us back in it,” she said. “She had a great match offensively and had a few big digs in the fourth and fifth at important times.”Carly Crouch also provided heroics as Davie achieved its first playoff win since a 3-1 decision over South Iredell in 2021’s sec-ond round. “Carly was the offen-sive leader. She pretty much scored at will when we were in system.”Davie upped its record to 16-7, the seventh time it’s won at least that many matches in Brandon’s nine years as coach. “Not (bad) in what was supposed to be a re-building year when everyone had us counted out,” she said. V’ball notches playoff victory Mr. Excitement Summers runs for 299 yards in War Eagle win Essic, Lakey run to all-conference The Davie cross country team made the familiar trek to Kerners-ville’s Ivey Redmond Park Oct. 18 for the CPC championships and returned home with 16 all-time personal records or season best performances among its 26 competitors. The War Eagle boys captured third place, while the girls took fifth. Meanwhile, Thomas Essic and Ethan Lakey raced to top 10 individual performances and all-conference recognition.In a bit of an anomaly for a sport dominated by seniors, the top four boys finishers were juniors. Reagan’s Tate Shore claimed the individual title as he led from start to finish and crossed the line in 15:54 over the 5k distance. Reyn-olds’ Cedar Nichols-Barnhart was the runner-up in 16:08, while Essic led the Davie effort in third with a new PR of 16:12. Teammate Ethan Lakey was the top sophomore in the race and claimed seventh place with a time of 16:43, just a second off of his all-time best.Aric Boles raced to a 16-second PR as his time of 17:55 landed hm in 22nd. Logan Zuleger was 29th with a 14-second PR of 18:15. The final Davie scorer was Brayden Kistner, who placed 31st in 18:21. Freshman Jacob Steel-man continued a season in which he has improved his time in every race this season. His time of 18:38 was good for 37th place. Jackson Sulecki followed in 41st with a PR Please See Runners - Page B5 By Brian PittsEnterprise Record After Ty Miller averaged 293 passing yards through the first eight games, Davie’s offense could not find a spark in the air attack against visiting Parkland on Oct. 19. But that was OK. Why? Se-nior Markel Summers was at it again. The crazy hot running back churned for a career-high 299 yards and three touchdowns one week after putting up a then-career-high 243 against West For-syth. That’s the third-most rushing yards in Davie annals. That’s the stuff of legend. Summers’ titanic performance led a 40-33 victory on Senior Night. “I’m so glad I’m able to set personal records, fly by my last year stats and get into the histo- ry books for rushing yards in a game,” Summers said. After losing back-to-back games, the War Eagles rose to 6-3 overall and 4-2 in the Central Piedmont Conference, good for third place behind co-leaders West Forsyth/East Forsyth, both of whom are 5-1. Meanwhile, the Mustangs (4-5, 1-5) are an incredibly improved team. After going 1-24 over the previous three seasons, after los-ing the previous six meetings to Davie by an average margin of 44-6, they’re finally able to put some Jimmys and Joes on the field and they’re not a pushover despite being tied for last with Reynolds. The War Eagles never trailed, but they also never could blow it open despite getting on the board a mere 16 seconds into the game. On the first play from scrimmage, d-lineman Trey’von Doulin dis- lodged the ball from running back Vernon Champion and outside linebacker Zander Richardson scooped and scored with a 31-yard return. Fittingly, two seniors made the quick 6-0 lead happen. “It was surreal,” said Z. Rich-ardson, who plays defense along-side his brother, junior linebacker Archer Richardson. “It’s almost like it was planned (for Senior Night). Trey’von wrapped him up and it bounced out.”But Parkland has a gifted quar-terback, some lightning-quick re-ceivers and a kicker with a massive foot. Junior Anthony Rojas drilled 35- and 47-yard field goals to forge a tie at 6. Summers had the answer. He was responsible for 56 of 65 yards on a scoring drive that resulted in a 14-6 lead. When Eli Branham came up with his second interception of the half, Davie was poised to gain separation as it moved the ball 49 yards to the Parkland 20. But the 13-play drive stalled and Davie turned it over on downs. The Mustangs moved the chains twice, but safety Connor Hood foiled their plans of cutting into Davie’s lead. On the ninth play of the series, Hood stepped in front of the receiver and returned the INT 64 yards to bump the lead to 20-6. The Mustangs, though, were undeterred. They put together a nine-play, 52-yard drive to draw within 20-14 at halftime. Davie landed a body blow early in the second half. Gavin Reese returned the kickoff 50 yards to the Parkland 45, and six plays lat-er, Grey Deal added a marvelous catch to his collection.

Wildlife Resourc-es’ Wildlife Management Division, said Johnston County will join Prima-ry Surveillance Areas in northwest North Carolina and the Sandhills, where rules and regulations aimed at curbing the spread of CWD will be implemented.“Now more than ever we need the cooperation of sportsmen and sportswom-en. We need to continue to test as many hunter-har-vested deer as possible to determine the distribution of CWD in our state and how many deer are infect-ed,” said Howard. “John-ston County will become a primary county. However, the realities of establishing rules and ensuring hunters are aware of the changes during an open hunting season are challenging, and so the rules will not change for this season for Johnston County.”The commission will likely set up Primary and Secondary Surveillance Areas in counties around Johnston for the 2024-25 season, including changes in baiting rules and require-ments for all deer killed in certain areas, during certain time frames, to be regis-tered for CWD testing. — AMMO SALE —7.62x54R 440 Rd Can..Reg: $220 Sale: $200 .223 50 Rd Box...............Reg: $26 Sale: $24 .45 ACP 50 Rd Box...............Reg: $30 Sale: $20 9mm50 Rd Box...............Reg: $18 Sale: $13 .38 Special50 Rd Box...............Reg: $30 Sale: $22 .380 ACP 100 Rd Box.............Reg: $40 Sale: $36 .300 Blackout 20 Rd Box...............Reg: $16 Sale: $13 .410 25 Rd Box...............Reg: $19 Sale: $16 .22LR High Velocity500 Rd Box.............Reg: $30 Sale: $28 — AMMO SALE —.308 Win 20 Rd Box...............Reg: $18 Sale: $15 .22320 Rd Box...............Reg: $12 Sale: $11 .45 ACP100 Rd Box.............Reg: $50 Sale: $46 .40 S&W50 Rd Box...............Reg: $26 Sale: $20 10mm50 Rd Box...............Reg: $26 Sale: $22 .30-30 20 Rd Box...............Reg: $28 Sale: $23 60 pc Universal Gun Cleaning Kit................................Reg: $40 Sale: $30 Rock River AR-15 LEO Trade In Rifles ......................................$465/ea. Deer have previously tested positive for CWD in Yadkin, Surrey, Stokes and Wilkes counties. CWD was first confirmed in March 2022 in a whitetail buck that was killed during the 2021-22 season in Yadkin County.Help for upland‑game huntersOne area where the N.C. Wildlife Resources Com-mission has done a great job is connecting with sportsman across the state and trying to recruit new ones, attempting to buck a nationwide trend of drop-ping numbers of hunters and fishermen.The commission has gotten involvement from hunters and increased its base of hunting data by offering avid grouse, quail and rabbit hunters to pro-vide feedback on their hunting success and ex-periences each season. It helps biologists get a better idea of the state of different wildlife populations from the hunters who are putting boots on the ground for much of the season, and an annual summary report af-ter the season gives hunters an idea of what their peers across the state are experi-encing.The commission is ask-ing avid small-game hunt-ers to participate in just such a survey by signing up at https://ncwildlife.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/ SV_en83f58KlFLhboh.A second way the com-mission is connecting is with hunting and fishing workshops.Small‑game seasons A handful of small-game seasons opened across North Carolina, includ-ing raccoon and opossum, gray, red and fox squirrel, rabbit, grouse and bobcat. With the exception of fox squirrels, all seasons will last through Feb. 29. The open season for fox squir-rels lasts through Jan. 31.There is no daily bag limit on opossum or bob-cats. Hunters can take three raccoons per day, eight red or gray squirrels, one fox squirrel, five rabbits, three grouse.

Not only did the defender grab Deal before the ball arrived, the pass glanced off the defender’s arm. Deal still reeled it in as Davie took a 26-14 lead. The Mustangs were not impressed. Riley Horton, a 6-3, 185-pound junior quar-terback, rolled out and threw deep to Kayden Crowell for a 38-yard score. Now it was 26-21 with 1:39 left in the third. “I think he’s one of the best QBs in the CPC,” Z. Richardson said of Hor-ton. “We had to contain the edges. We worked hard after practice as much as we could.”A fourth-and-2 play from the Parkland 39 was a pivot-al moment. Parkland faked a punt and tried a reverse to Brock Jackson. Z. Richard-son blew it up for a loss of seven. Two plays later, Sum-mers was in the end zone, a 28-yard run that made it 32-21 with 9:12 to go. But Parkland, like it’s done all year, showed ad-mirable staying power. A Davie defensive back ap-peared ready to intercept Horton’s long pass, but Antwan Hughes came out of nowhere to grab it and he raced 46 yards to paydirt. Parkland was within 32-27 with 6:45 left. “There were some plays here and there that we could’ve run a little bit better or kept a better aware-ness throughout the play,” Z. Richardson said. “But I honestly think most of the defense did very well. The effort was there for sure. I just feel like the execution could’ve been a little better.”No, the offense did not Summers ... perform to capacity with four TDs on 11 possessions, which is subpar by Da-vie’s standards. But it had a trump card in Summers, who carried the ball nine times during a 13-play drive. Of the 80 yards en route to the end zone, 74 of them belonged to Summers, who scored with 2:25 remaining to all but put Parkland away at 40-27. “Markel is an excellent player,” Z. Richardson said. “It’s honestly such an honor to be on the same team as Markel. I played against him when it was Shady Grove against Cornatzer and Ellis versus South Davie. I had always been against him. It’s so good to have him on my team these last four years. He’s so well-rounded. I think he’s amazing.”At do-or-die time, the Mustangs responded with a 15-play, 82-yard scoring drive - but the series ate too much time as far as Park-land was concerned. Only six seconds remained when it closed the gap to 40-33. Davie recovered the onside kick and walked away with its highest CPC win total in seven seasons. Summers carried the ball 37 times and raised his season total to 1,325 yards, which ranks 10th on the single-season list. Only Tate Carney (327 yards in a 62-43 win over Reynolds in the spring of 2021) and Cooter Arnold (322 yards in a 43-17 win over South Rowan in 2004) have had bigger rushing nights. “Last year my goal was 1,000 yards and I told the offensive line that I would take them for a meal,” Sum-mers said. “I got so busy in the summer that I wasn’t able to. I told them if we up my yards this year that I will take them to Golden Corral. That would be great because they have a buffet.”Notes: In the first half, 6-3, 300-pound senior left guard Evan Copeland injured his left shoulder. He wore an ice pack and watched the rest of the game from the sideline. The good news: Coach Tim Devericks does not believe it’s a sea-son-ending injury. Copeland was replaced by sophomore Jakob Alexander. “I was so happy Jakob was able to make an appearance, hold that spot down and keep the rushing game going,” Summers said. ... Summers said he’s up to five scholar-ship offers. “I’m talking to East Tennessee State now,” he said Friday. “I just got off the phone with their running back coach.” ... Although Miller threw for a season-low 148 yards, he did extend his record streak of consecutive games with a TD pass to 20. ... Horton threw for 295 yards and four TDs, but Davie’s defense forced him to attempt 49 passes to get there. ... The War Eagles won the turn-over battle 0-4. After only managing two INTs in the first eight games, they had three in this one alone. ... Not only did Branham get two picks on his Senior Night, Z. Richardson got his team-high third fumble recovery. ... Penalties made it a sloppy game and no band made it a blah atmosphere. The game was moved up to Thursday because rain was in Friday’s forecast, and the band had a prior commitment. Davie was penalized 16 times for 189 yards; Parkland was flagged 11 times for 90 yards. ... Davie’s tackle leaders were Elijah Chaffin (10), Hood (eight), Landon Barber (sev-en), Matty Warner (seven) and A. Richardson (five). ... Braxton Bowling and Hood broke up three passes each. ...

DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Oct. 26, 2023 - B5 Continued From Page B1of 19:00. Will Allard was next in 53rd place with a season best time of 19:27. The young Davie squad had no seniors in its top seven. Also competing for the Davie harriers were Chris Devicento in 54th (19:35), Jack Bost with a personal best performance in 68th place (20:27), Slade Keaton in 72nd place (20:41), Ty Greene with a 75th place finish and a PR of 20:52, Tyler Deaver, who placed 82nd in 22:04, and Caswell Moore, who had a season best time of 22:25 that was good for 84th place.In the team competition, Reagan dethroned perennial champion Mt. Tabor by a single point with a thrilling 45-46 victory. Both teams posted identical average team times of 16:52, with the difference being Shore’s individual victory overcom-ing Mt. Tabor’s depth. Da-vie was third with 82 points to outdistance Reynolds (96) and West Forsyth (100).•••The Davie girls were led by Lexi Marion’s 29th place finish in a season best time of 22:19. Teammate Gracie Spicer placed 32nd in 22:30. The Next six Davie fin-ishers all established new personal record times. Clara Phelps was 37th in 22:44, Emilia Marks claimed 47th in 24:07, Kinsley Shinsky placed 53rd in 25:23, Isa-bella Schilling took 60th in 25:59 and Bridget Wood was 63rd in 26:51. Round-ing out the Davie effort was Hayden Smith with a PR of 33:56, Alexa Villa in 34:15 and Maggie Smith in 35:56. and Brayden came through for us with a couple of big PR’s out of those guys. I was afraid we might fall to fifth with Tyler out but we did what we had to do to secure the third spot.“Our girls had by far their best performance of the year,” said Raisbeck. “Six weeks ago I wasn’t sure we could field a team. We had three healthy girls I was confident could break 30 minutes. But we got healthy at the right time and the girls worked really hard to improve their conditioning. Gracie is our only senior and everybody else is a fresh-man or sophomore so we need to keep working hard and get an influx of talent from the middle schools. This time next year we will be an even better team.”Championship season continues Oct. 28 as the team returns to Ivey Red-mond for the 4-A Midwest Regional. “There will be 29 teams from our region trying to qualify for states the fol-lowing week. Based on the formula the state uses there will be six or seven teams advance on the boys’ side and five or six girls’ teams,” said Raisbeck. “If we are able to put our full line-up out there and we are healthy the guys have a shot to make it but we will need our top five to all run their best race. We will find out what we are made of in a few days.” Notes: The top 18 made all-conference. Essic made it for the second time, after finishing 12th at 16:59 in 2022. Lakey made all-CPC after being the league’s top freshman in 2022 at 17:29. Tabor ran away with the team title with 25 points to easily defeat second place West Forsyth (60), Reynolds (66), Reagan (80) and Da-vie (153). Reynolds senior Chandler Welsh claimed the individual title in 17:53 to defeat a trio of Mt. Tabor runners led by Bronwyn Parks in 18:06.Davie coach Rob Rais-beck reflected on the Davie effort after the meet. “We overcame a lot of adversity today and ran as well as we possibly could,” said Raisbeck. “We learned this morning that our num-ber three, Tyler Hill, would not be available for the race. That meant a lot of young guys had to step up. We knew Thomas and Ethan would give us what we needed up front and they did not disappoint. Aric, Logan Runners ...

The War Eagles ran the ball relentlessly on the way to a 40-0 feast over an op-ponent that has lost by an aggregate 116 points over the past three games. Davie pounded away for 433 yards on 64 rushing attempts, led by Jamarius Pelote’s 21 carries for 143 yards. Cameron Knox (12-137 rushing, two TDs) also torched the Mustangs, who sank to 1-5 in the Central Piedmont Conference. Javon Carter has spent most of the season on de-fense, but he’s no slouch as a ball carrier. The freshman carried 24 times for 99 yards and three TDs. “We moved him from defense a couple weeks ago and this was his biggest game,” offensive coordi-nator Matt Gould said. “He got a few carries the last two games.”Davie (4-5, 2-4) did not need to throw. Pelote hit 3 of his 6 passes for 50 yards, including a 35-yard hookup with Blake French. Jayce Bentley and Andy Romero had the other two receptions. There was only one neg-ative, but it was a big one. Bentley, who scampered 38 yards on his only rush-ing attempt and gained 15 yards on his one catch, suf-fered a broken tibia and will be sidelined for several months. The moment was all too familiar for Bentley, who missed 12 of 16 bas-ketball games as a South Davie eighth grader after a football injury in 2022. He had surgery the day after the Parkland game. “He got dragged down from behind and got his leg caught under him,” Gould said. Notes: Davie basketball coach Josh Pittman winced at Bentley’s injury. “He was in the plans for JV (basket-ball),” Pittman said. ... This was Davie’s first win since Sept. 14 against Reynolds.

B6 - DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Oct. 26, 2023 Davie’s Kate Sakai earned all-conference status as a junior, and she was joined as a regional qualifier by senior teammate So-phia Garza as the War Eagles com-peted in their final regular-season match on Oct. 17 at Maple Chase Golf and Country Club. Garza was Davie’s leader with a score of 44-47 – 91. She closely followed by Sakai (47-45 – 92). Davie’s third scorer was freshman Gwynyth Swan (51-51 – 102). Four War Eagles played nine holes apiece. Junior Reese Ward shot 49 and sophomore Kori Bailey 50. The War Eagles finished third on the day and fourth in the final Central Piedmont Conference standings. The top 13 made the all-conference team, and Sakai got there by placing 13th out of 34. To qualify for the regional, you had to average 50 or less over your lowest five rounds. Sakai (45.2 av-erage) and Garza (47.6) advanced with plenty of room to spare. The team scores for the season: Reagan 1130, West Forsyth 1188, Reynolds 1468, Davie 1496, Mt. Tabor 1577. Kate Sakai earns golf all-CPC honor 14-2 tennis team ousted in first round By Brian PittsEnterprise Record The 5-1 margin of defeat in the Davie tennis team’s home match against South-east Guilford in the first round of the 4-A playoffs on Oct. 18 looks like a stomping. It was anything but. It was actually a painful loss in which the War Eagles suffered close-but-no-ci-gar agony in every singles match except Leah Gibson’s victory at No. 4. “It was one of the closest matches I’ve ever coached - just ended up on the wrong side of it,” coach Collin Ferebee said. The margins in Davie’s five losses were 4-6, 5-7; 6-7, 4-6; 2-6, 4-6; 4-6, 5-7; and 5-7, 4-6. Davie was that close to advancing and building on a seven-match winning streak. Although the end was tough to take, the War Ea-gles went 14-2 and cele-brated a three-peat in the Central Piedmont Confer-ence. If Ferebee was going to write a script in August for how to navigate a sea-son with two seniors, one junior, one sophomore and two freshmen in the starting six, is it safe to say he’d write this very script? Yes. Absolutely yes. Davie is 42-4 across three seasons. “It’s not the best way to end it; we’re a little upset,” he said. “But I told the girls: ‘Look, if you want me to say that I’m happy, I’m not going to lie and say that I am. Do we have some things to fix? Yes. However, look Varsity soccer falls to Tabor, WF Davie’s varsity soccer team fell short 2-1 at home to Mt. Tabor. Justin Rayas had the Davie goal. Two days later, Davie was drubbed 7-1 at unbeaten West For-syth (17-0-2). Rayas had at all the wonderful things we did this year. There are way more positives than negatives, and I’m not going to get stuck on a very close match that we came on the wrong side of.’”Ferebee had to bid fare-well to two seniors starters: Ali Cranfill, who went 10-2 at No. 5, and Gabby Thomp-son, who went 11-4 at No. 6. “Not to disparage any of the senior classes from be-fore, but this is the one that first bought into me and the new way that Davie tennis was going to go,” he said. “Without them and their leadership, we wouldn’t be in the position that we’re in. For Ali and Gabby to step up their senior year, it’s going to be hard to replace them. They had senior leadership that the other girls looked up to. Eighty percent of the time, you didn’t have to worry about them bringing home a win at five and six.”Notes: Davie was seeded No. 8 in the West Region, with Southeast at No. 25 af-ter a 7-7 regular season. The Falcons’ record was deceiv-ing. “They’re in the Metro (Conference) with Page, Northwest Guilford and Northern Guilford - teams that are always solid,” Fer-ebee said. ... Gibson closed her freshman season with a 14-3 record. ... Newsome carried a 16-4 mark into the regional tournament. Corbin Drum and Bailey Aderhold - who went 14-2 and 13-3 in singles, respec-tively - competed in doubles in the regional. Results from the regional will come next week.

They have dropped five in a row. “We were simply out-classed by a better team,” coach Scott McBain said. “But we will use West For- syth as a standard by which to measure ourselves - now and into the future.” Cornatzer beats Pinebrook Pinebrook’s Chris Gon-zalez opened the scoring with a 56-yard run and Jus-tin Green completed 7 of 9 passes, but it wasn’t enough to prevent a 14-6 loss to Cornatzer on Oct. 14.

Being his first time to play baseball, he is doing so well. Jackson Simpson played awesome in the field, helping with many outs and he had some huge hits to help bring in some runs. Tucker Trivette of the T-ball Orioles is always eager to play the field. He goes after the ball every time and makes good plays. Tucker is kind and well-mannered to all. He always has sweet words - a true gentleman and baseball player. Brantley Seamon of the mi- nor division made awesome plays at second base. He keeps a great attitude and has a love for the game. Kaiden Woodward of the inter- mediate Braves is brand new to baseball and has jumped right in with the older boys. He did not let his rookie status stop him, hitting two bombs in a recent game to help his team get the win. He’s learning the game and having fun doing it. Davie American Little League Player Spotlights It didn’t take long for North Davie’s wrestling team to get going. The Wildcats buried North Rowan 94-0 on the road in the Oct. 19 season opener. Coach Jamey Holt got nine pins from Travis Dug-gins, Preston Young, Kolby Long, Taylor Shenberger, Jack Greer, Isaac O’Toole, Jaden Dillard, Peyton Jor-dan and Nathan Smith. Chris Gonzalez won by major decision. The Mavericks handed over six forfeits. “O’Toole is the best of the bunch,” said Holt, who has third-year weapons in Shenberger, Long and An-derson. “Jaden has a chance to be really good. A couple others have some potential, but we’ll see.” By Brian PittsEnterprise Record Last year the South Da-vie girls basketball team lost 11 of 14 games. Two games into the 2023 season, the Tigers are near last year’s win total. The turnaround has a name: Allie Cothren. The seventh grader was respon-sible for 34 of South’s 59 points as the Tigers defeated Erwin and China Grove in the first two games of the season. “Allie was a beast on all sides of the court,” said Julie Snow, who is back as coach after a five-year hiatus. “She is a daggum competitor.”A home game against Erwin on Oct. 16 was a close struggle from start to finish. The Tigers trailed after the first, second and third quarters, but Cothren saved eight of her 16 points for the fourth to lift South to 27-25 victory. With 1:35 remaining, EG Snow hit Cothren inside for a basket that provided a four-point lead. Cothren and Snow combined for three free throws in the closing moments to preserve the lead. “With no fear, Allie went up against a girl a foot taller than her and held her to six points,” Snow said. “She took a beating and kept pushing forward.”South got four points from Scarlett Brock, three from Snow and two each from Sakariah Allison and Sarenity Miller. “Sakariah only has one year of experience, but she’s so fast,” Snow said. “Once she learns control, she will be a force to be reckoned with. She played incredible defense up top. “Clara Parsley gave us great defense in the third quarter. We held them to three points in the third, which was a game-changer.”The roster includes Akie-la Young, Karissma Stock-ton, Natalye Keeton and Zariah Allison. “Our inexperience - we have five years of combined middle school experience - showed, but we will con-tinue to grow,” Snow said. “Akiela, Natalye and Zariah gave us good minutes. It was the first middle school game for (sixth graders) EG and Karissma.”SD 32, CG 14Cothren (18 points) was again the star as South dismantled visiting Chi-na Grove on Oct. 19. She outscored the Red Devils by herself despite spending By Brian PittsEnterprise Record Noah Dulin, Draeton Nance and the South Davie boys basketball team picked up right where they left off last year when they opened the season on Oct. 16. Dulin and Nance, who averaged 18.7 and 17.1 points per game, respec-tively, during last year’s 13-3 run, combined for 28 in the first half as the Tigers breezed to a 58-18 romp. Coach Germain Mayfield called off the dogs after a 32-6 first half, and Nance and Dulin finished with 23 and 10 points while sitting the bench most of the final 12 minutes. William Martin had eight, Paxton Lewis five, Anderson Branham five, Wyatt Tucker three, Ty Cozart two and Aiden Hous-er two. Mayfield is looking for breakout seasons from Mar-tin and Owen Parker. Last year their season highs in a game were four and six points, respectively, but that was in deep reserve roles. “I think William and Owen will have huge years,” he said. “William got in early foul trouble and Owen couldn’t get his shot to fall, but both of them played well, especially defensive-ly.”SD 64, CG 11Three days later at home, the Tigers won by an even greater margin, 64-11, over China Grove. When all the high-fives had been delivered, Dulin (21), Martin (17) and Nance (11) were in double figures Shore debuts with 23 points for Ellis girls extended time on the bench in foul trouble.“She got three fouls in the first half and sat a lot,” Snow said. “She got a foul midway through the third and had to sit. She played all of the fourth and scored 10 with four fouls. It is tough to tell her to get out of the scrum for a ball, she is so intense.”The other South scorers were Miller (six), Brock (three), Young (three) and Snow (two). “Sakariah played phe-nomenal defense,” Snow said. “Sarenity was good rebounding and was all over the floor fighting for the ball. When Akiela finds her rhythm, she will be something to watch. Zariah will ask more questions than any player I’ve ever coached. This is her first year ever playing ball. When she begins to understand the game, her and her twin sister (Sakariah) will be dominant defenders in the backcourt.”Snow and assistant Beth Carter couldn’t be happier with the start. “This team of rookies could really be something,” Snow said. “We are basical-ly starting from scratch, so to watch these girls’ growth so far has been something Beth and I have really en-joyed.”Brandon Gentry coached South the past two years. Snow was the coach for two years in 2014-15 and 2015-16, leading the Tigers to an 18-7 record. Ellis 56, Erwin 11 Last year Ellis went from being a hunter to the hunted during a 12-4 season. This season should be no differ-ent. The Jaguars steamrolled visiting Erwin in the Oct. 19 opener. “We were really excited about finally seeing them put all the pieces togeth-er and into action,” coach Susan Jones said. “They did not disappoint. From tipoff through the first seven minutes, our girls came out raring to go and never let up. They wreaked havoc with every defensive pos-session.”Olivia Smith (10.6 ppg last year) and Gracyn Cole-man (5.1) are the top return-ing scorers, but an already solid team has received a huge boost with the addition of Gracie Shore, who moved in from Forbush. All she did in her Ellis debut was drop in 23 points. Smith was outstanding as well with 16, including 4-of-8 shooting from 3-point range. It was essentially a perfect effort as Ellis got four points from Zoe Sum-mers and two each from Layla Hazlip, Sydney Ward and Olivia Rareshide.Shore and Coleman were lights out defensively as they combined for 12 steals. Smith, Hazlip and Coleman controlled the boards. And Shore, Coleman and Smith handed out three assists each. “The unselfish play our captains (Shore, Coleman and Smith) showed on the court was apparent with the assists given, allowing for others to score,” Jones said. Ellis’ eighth graders are Coleman, Emily Hernandez, Rareshide, Smith and Shore. Summers, Ward, Hazlip, Carter Ward and Reese Rye are seventh graders. Notes: North Rowan was unable to show for its Oct. 19 game at North Davie. It went down as a forfeit win for the Wildcats. ... Trish King coached North for the past 25 years. Her replace-ment is her son Austin King, a first-year teacher. His squad includes Chloe Hinson, Mabyn Morris, Zoe Shore, Jaynie Patton, Zariya Oliver, Julia Powell, Callaway Spillman, Audrina Bledsoe, Isabella Swartz and Shelby Elmore. South boys explode into season as South let off the gas after taking a 59-5 lead into the fourth. “If William can stay out of foul trouble, he is gonna have a huge year,” Mayfield said. “He will most definite-ly be a problem.”Branham had four, Cozart three, Houser three, Lewis two, Malachi Miller two and Talon Andrade one. The rest of the team members are Tate Sechrest, Camden Holland and Mad-dox Crowe. ND 62, NR 50Wyatt Harwood missed seven of North Davie’s 15 games a year ago with a broken hand, but he’s back in 2023-24 and ready to complement Edarius Oliver, who is coming off a 15.6 scoring season as a seventh grader. Harwood erupted for 25 points right out of the gate and Oliver added 18 as the Wildcats handled visiting North Rowan on Oct. 19. It was anybody’s game going into the fourth, but North pulled away with a 20-point quarter after en-tering the final six minutes with a 42-41 lead. “Wyatt did a good job of driving to the basket,” coach Trevor Gooch said. “Edarius did a great job on defense and converted some steals into points.”Four guys did all the scoring, with Nolan Allen putting up 12 and Glen Greene seven. The team’s eighth grad-ers are Carter Cornett, Adren Davis, Harwood, Isaiah Hernandez, Rafael Lozano Ugayama, Carson Nichols, Oliver, Blaze Sand-ers, Reynolds Tomlinson and Kellan Wiles. The sev-enth graders are Allen and Greene. “Nolan knocked down some jump shots,” Gooch said. “Glen had a nice game in the post.”Ellis 47, Erwin 31Brandon Forrest scored 15 points to go with eight rebounds, and Ellis won the debut for new coach Alexis Hoppers, who replaced Dan-iel York as coach. Forrest (9.2 average last year) is the top returning scorer from last year’s 12-4 squad. Also scoring against the visiting Eagles on Oct. 19 were Zaheim Reese (nine), Cannon Smith (six), Bow-man Blakley (six), Mason Driver (five), Westen Bare-foot (four) and Graham Weaver (two). The other team mem-bers are Levi Block, Seager Brooks, Ayden Chilton, Brady Hall, Jackson Nance and Tay Settecasi. FREEHAL L O WEEN TRAILHOLLYLANEHAUNT B o o o !

This is hosted by an organization called Young-Life. On most Monday nights, there’s an event called Club. Each club has a theme. The leaders call it “Party with a purpose.” It’s filled with singing, dancing, games, and then a devotional. Every other Monday, YoungLife members take part in “campaigners,” when they have a Bible study filled with ques-tions and opportunities to receive answers. “I thank God for Mon-day nights, every night,” said Ty Matthews.For others like Ali Cranfill, this is an an-swered prayer. “I can vividly remember praying for a Godly community in my sophomore year of high school,” she said. Her prayer was an-swered when she was asked to be a student leader as a Junior. She loves her leaders, Leigh Sherill, Emily Sigler, TJ Sigler, Eryn Smith, and Jeff Jones. YoungLife is a great place for individuals to come discover and learn about God. If interested in coming to learn more about what they have to offer head over on a Mon-day night.YoungLife meets every Monday at 7:27 p.m. and ends around 8:30. Meet-ings are at “The Farm,” at 261 Whippoorwill Road, Mocksville.Kat Woodruff-Carter is a senior at Davie High, and intern at the Enter-prise Record, and a proud member of Davie Young-Life.
