Town sues mayor, board member Cooleemee embezzlement case continues By Mike BarnhardtEnterprise Record The mayor and a town board member in Cooleemee have been named in a civil lawsuit for being negligent af-ter a former clerk was fired for embezzlement.The criminal case is being investigated by the SBI and the Davie Sheriff’s Office. Da-vie Sheriff J.D. Hartman said he doesn’t expect any charges to be filed before the first of the year.The town had filed a civ-il lawsuit against the former clerk - Aaron Thies - accus-ing him of stealing more than $250,000 from the town. That lawsuit was later amended to include Mayor Jessica Al-mond and board member Jean-nie McDaniel Taylor, claiming their lack of oversight allowed the embezzlement to continue.Taylor and Almond were each authorized to sign town checks, along with the town clerk, Aaron Thies. According to the lawsuit, filed by local attorney Brandy Koontz, the mayor and board member not only didn’t know a legitimate reason for some of the expen-ditures, they also sometimes signed blank checks for the clerk to fill out later.“This is an action for a money judgment arising out of the defendants gross neg-ligence and for acting outside the scope of (their) authority.

Tell us what you think Take the high road; choose love The Literary Corner: Renegade Writer’s Guild Please See Renegade ‑ Page 3 Guest editorial Elisabeth Strillacci Understanding interest rates By Mike WaldenNCSU We have a love-hate relationship with interest rates, especially in terms of their level. Investors in interest-pay-ing investments like CDs (certificates of deposit), bonds and money market funds love higher interest rates because it means they earn more money. In contrast, borrowers dislike higher interest rates because they result in higher loan payments to buy homes, vehicles and other big-ticket items.But there’s more to interest rates than just what they mean for our earnings or payments. Embedded in interest rates and their changes is information about various ele-ments of the economy.First, what is an interest rate? Essentially, an interest rate is the price of moving money over time. Consider this simple example. Say you need to borrow $1,000 for use today, and you agree to pay it back in one year. The interest rate is 6%. This means you can have $1,000 today if you agree to pay the lender $1,060 ($1000 x 1.06) a year later. Or, looking at the same example from the lender’s perspective, the lender consid-ers not having $1,000 today but having $1,060 a year from now to be equivalent.There are two components to any interest rate: the ex-pected annual inflation rate and the real rate. The expected annual inflation rate compensates the lender for the loss in purchasing power of dollars between the time of the loan and the time of the loan repayment. Continuing with the above example, if the lender anticipates a 4% inflation rate between now and a year from now, then each dollar will be worth 4% less one year later. Hence, just to keep the purchasing power of dollars the same, the lender would need to charge a 4% interest rate.Using economics lingo, the real rate reflects the “rate of time preference” of the lender. Translated to everyday lan-guage, the real rate is the rate of interest it will take for the lender to give up a dollar today after the lender has been compensated for expected inflation. Another way to think of the real rate is to assume there is no inflation, and then ask what someone would have to receive next year to give up using a dollar today. If the answer is 2%, then in the absence of inflation, a lender considers having $1 today or $1.02 a year later to be equivalent.Any interest rate is the sum of the expected annual in-flation rate over the life of the loan and the real rate. Using the example, with an expected annual inflation rate of 4% and a real rate of 2%, the observed interest rate is 6%.There is a distinctive pattern to interest rates based on the length of the loan. Normally, the interest rate charged for longer loans will be higher than the rate for shorter loans. Why? Because forecasting inflation and factors that impact the real rate component are more difficult to do over a longer period of time than a shorter one. So normal-ly, we observe an “upward sloping yield curve” – where interest rates rise with the length of the loan.If the opposite occurs, meaning short-term interest rates are higher than long-term interest rates, then an “inverted yield curve” exists. This can happen if investors become worried about the current economy, and they consequently move money to longer-term investments. One of the wor-ries could be an imminent recession. Interestingly, an in-verted yield curve currently exists.What can move interest rates up and down, and why? Obviously, the expected annual inflation rate can. Often, if the inflation rate has been rising, people can expect the rate to be higher in the future, and, thus, the inflation com-ponent of the interest rate will jump. This influence is usu-ally confirmed when the Federal Reserve raises its interest rates.Conversely, if the inflation rate is falling and is expect-ed to continue to fall, then the inflation rate component should ultimately decline. Yet, again, often, the lower ex-pected inflation rate will need to be supported by the Fed-eral Reserve lowering its interest rate.There is a special place in our economy for one interest rate. It is the interest rate paid on 10-year Treasury notes. A 10-year Treasury note is an investment with the feder-al government where the investor receives a fixed interest Can we have a serious conversation this week? I mean really serious.I don’t know how many of you are TikTok users, but I suspect enough of you have at least checked the platform out to know what it is.I confess I have several accounts that I follow every day, and most of them are from what are commonly known as “content creators,” folks that create new content on an ongoing basis for their followers.One of my favorites, that I know at least some of you have heard of, is MamaTot, whose real name is Ophelia Nichols, and who works intensely hard to spread peace, good will and encouragement. She is an incredible woman and she has the ability to make everyone who watches feel like a dear friend. She’s had her detractors, people who have attacked her or tried to “take her down,” but she has built an army of followers, affectionately referred to as TaterTots, that rise to her defense, and she is well established and isn’t going anywhere.Unfortunately, Ophelia’s son Randon was mur-dered in June of 2022 during a drug deal. While it was lifechanging because of the loss of his life and because of the things Ophelia and her family learned about their son and brother, she was strong enough to share what happened on her TikTok page, and to ask her more than 7 million followers at the time for help in solving the case.“When your children live out on their own and pay their own bills and they have a good job — it just don’t cross your mind that they would be doing anything to get themselves into trouble,” Nichols said in a live vid-eo talking about what happened. “We’ve been told that the detectives think that marijuana was being dealt. My son was meeting there, and either they tried to rob him or they did rob him, but he was shot.”She went on to say that because so many followed her, both in her own Alabama town and across the country, someone had to know something, and she pleaded for help.It brought a lot of support and a lot of feedback, and not all of it good. Because you can be anonymous on TikTok, just as you can be a lot of places on social media. And being anonymous can make people dangerously brave.MamaTot has enough inner strength and support, from her family, friends and her followers, that she has been able to withstand the negativity that has come her way.But not everyone has been so strong.A TikTok creator recently committed suicide, likely on a live feed on TikTok, because he was wrongfully accused of grooming a minor, in what has come to light as a planned attack intended to get him banned from the platform. Inquisitor Ghost, whose TikTok name was Inquisi-tore3 and whose real name was Vincent Plicchi, was an Italian cosplayer who often dressed as the video game character Simone “Ghost” Riley in his TikTok videos.Whether it was jealousy of his grow-ing following or just pettiness, the false accusations led to him deciding to what is referred to in TikTok language as “unalive” himself. Words like suicide, kill and death are not permitted on the platform to try to prevent people from making comments like “go kill yourself” that have in the past lead to people doing just that. But there are always ways around the algorithm.Why am I telling you all this? I know some of you are thinking that this is why we need to have controls on social media and the internet.I disagree. Where we need controls is on us.On our own cruelty, on our own ability to cause intense harm, especially when we think we can engage in it with impunity because no one knows it is us.Social media and the internet is not the problem. There has always been bullying, and not just among children. We humans have always engaged in deni-grating and hurting others, the internet is just another outlet.We need to have some self control, some reminders about how to play nice with others, some reminders that some things are just not okay to say.Making up lies, false accusations, treading on anoth-er’s pain or loss, spotlighting someone’s weakness or embarrassing someone to make yourself look better, none of these things are okay, and we know this. Or at least we should.The internet is a wonderful tool, a way to stay in touch with family and friends far away, a way to gather information, a way to share photos and memories and experiences, and social media is a big part of that. But tools are only as effective, and as good, as the people that use them.Instead of all the talk about banning or controlling the internet and social media sites, let’s talk about getting some control of ourselves, and remembering that if it would hurt us if it was done or said to or about us, then we in turn should not do or say it to or about someone else.I don’t want to grieve the loss of anyone else who ends up “unaliving” themselves because of the cruelty of others. We have to do better.Elisabeth Strillacci is a former editor of the Salis-bury Post. Internet is not the problem: it’s us To the editor:Our fight shoul never be against one another, for we are all God’s children, created in the image of God.Instead, we should be challenging and resisting the in-fluences of hegemonic, hierarchical and evil power struc-tures, systems, and institutions that are unjust and oppres-sive. For this is what pits us against each other, what preys on our diversity, promotes distrust, and separates us from God, using false ideologies and theories of superiority based on race, ethnicity, gender, religion and socioeco-nomic classifications.Evil thrives and breeds on animosity, discord and ig-norance; these are easy, bu love can be difficult for it requires us to walk on higher ground. Love conquers all things while reminding us that the truth will ultimately set us free.Rev. Peggy WeirMocksville The Big BrotherBy Julie Terry CartnerHe sits there watching silently. His brother, his baby brother, is having another meltdown. In McDonalds. In public. Again. Just when they were finishing their meal, and Playland was just two or three bites away, his brother lost it. He remembered when Mom and Dad had told them they were having another baby. “You’re going to be a big brother,” they’d said excitedly. “Just think, you’ll have a live-in playmate.” Then they added, “You’ll be the big brother, so you’ll have to look out for your baby brother and take care of him, okay?” He’d nodded excitedly. He’d wanted a little brother for what seemed like forever, and now he’d have one. He’d be such a big brother – a friend, a helper, a protector. He couldn’t wait.And when Sean had been born, he’d held his tiny broth-er and promised him. “I’ll always look out for you little brother, and when you get older, we’ll be a team. Just you and me.” He’d pinkie sworn and everything, even though it had been challenging to get his baby brother to lock pin-kies. As Sean grew, he’d acted funny sometimes, and, as his parents got more concerned, he’d heard words like Asperger’s Syndrome, and behavior issues, and anger management. He didn’t understand exactly, but he knew whatever was going on, it made his parents sad, and Sean angry. As for him, he was just lonely and confused. He un-derstood, of course he did, after all, he was the big brother, but sometimes he felt as if he were invisible. Sean needed so much.And here it was about to happen again. No, Sean, no. Please no, he thought. Just finish your meal, then we can play. We can crawl through the tunnels. We can jump in the balls. We can slide down that glorious curving slide. We can laugh and chase each other and join those other kids. Just eat your last nugget. Please! But even as he thought the words, he knew it was no use. Glancing at his brother, he knew. There’d be no play today. First the quivering lip. Sean didn’t want to finish his meal; he wanted to go play. Then the tears, angry tears. Sean wanted what he wanted, when he wanted it. He didn’t understand words like Wait. Patience. In a minute. After you finish… He only heard No. Please See Interest ‑ Page 3 DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Nov. 9, 2023 - 3 Local news.

Continued From Page 2rate on the money invested, and the investment lasts for 10 years. However, there is a market for buying and selling federal investments, so owners of 10-year Treasury notes can always sell prior to the 10 years.Many readers will be surprised to learn that investments with the federal government are considered safe. Despite many battles over the federal budget, the U.S. government has never missed an interest payment on Treasury invest-ments.There are two reasons 10-year Treasury notes receive attention. First: interest rates on other loans – in particular, mortgage interest rates – closely follow the 10-year note rate up and down. Second: movement in the 10-year Treasury rate can tell about the “real rate component” of rates. If the 10-year rate rises, usually that is interpreted as bad news about the economy. Conversely, if it drops, it means good news.Recently, the 10-year rate has taken a big jump, put-ting it at almost a 20-year high. Many factors contributed including worries the Federal Reserve will keep interest rates higher than thought, concerns over federal borrowing and the national debt, and what the emerging Mideast war will do tfor wider fighting and impacts on oil prices.There’s more to interest rates than meets the eye. Hope-fully, with the background presented here, you can bet-ter decide why interest rates change and what they mean about the economy.Walden is a William Neal Reynolds Distinguished Professor Emeritus at North Carolina State University.

Interest ... No, Sean, no. Please no. Don’t throw your…. Too late. Sean’s drink bounced off Dad’s chest, hitting the table and splashing all over the three of them. And now Sean was screaming, crying, striking out.His cheeks flushed with embarrassment when he saw the eyes on his family, when he saw the judgement in the faces of those who didn’t understand. The pink in his cheeks flamed. How many times had he seen the condem-nation and heard the questions, “What’s wrong with him? Why does he act like that?” and the most unfair, “Where’s his mother?” Mom, Sean’s daily caregiver, was home taking a much-needed break from the intensity of life with Sean. Dad, though exhausted from his long workweek, knew Mom needed some alone time, just time to relax, some-thing she dare not do when Sean was in the house. And he, the big brother…Well, he didn’t really matter. Sean need-ed them more.He risked a glance at Dad, and wished he hadn’t. Sad-ness poured from his face like the drink that dripped off his chin. Discouragement emanated from him in waves, even as he gathered Sean into his arms, tucking his flail-ing limbs between them, protecting them both. Defeat drooped his shoulders as he glanced at the table, now wet and sticky.Without a word, he mopped up the soda and cleaned up the trash. He watched as Dad cradled a now sobbing Sean and headed for the exit. Dad knew he’d follow, and he did. He certainly didn’t want to make life any harder for his parents. He’d continue to do his best to be the perfect son. As always, he'd be the shadow in the room, drawing no attention to himself. Silently, he slipped into the car and buckled his seat belt. Our Military HistoryBy Gaye HootsOur first ancestor to settle in America was A Huth from Germany. Somebody changed the spelling of our last name to Hoots, and he settled in Yadkin County where he was given a land grant of several hundred acres for his service in the Revolutionary War. The Hoots family and my mother’s family, Fulk, orig-inally Volck, and from, Germany have a long list of fam-ily serving in our military. I had five uncles who served in WW11; one who was a glider pilot died the day after D-Day.My brother was the only one in my generation to serve, and he survived Vietnam and retired from service. None of my or my siblings' children served. Currently, my grand-son and his wife are in service.Vann wanted to be a Navy Seal, and after following a rigorous workout routine, was accepted. His color blind-ness, which he inherited from me, prevented him from becoming a Seal. Two years ago, he was named Sailor of the Quarter and then Sailor of the Year from his base in Colorado. He was recommended for EOD training, which is Explosive Ordinance Disposal and requires two years of rigorous training.I researched this because my vision of EOD was of Vann hovering over a bomb as the time ticked down on the timer while trying to decide which wire to cut. The information I read was that he is as safe as I am in my car driving. Now, robotics are used to disarm bombs, decreas-ing the risk.This has yet to eliminate the risk, and their training con-sists of underwater and parachuting exercises. Our family prays for his, his wife’s, and our military. His wife was overseas near the present military action but has returned safely and attended his graduation, as did his parents. The EOD training has a rate of more than fifty percent failure to complete, and Vann’s class was eighty-five percent. Only fifteen graduated and only two in his class outranked him.I know I am bragging, but what are grandmas for? Our family has a deep appreciation of the sacrifices required to protect us. My uncle was killed in WW11, and a nephew was named for him, and I was born on his birthday. Faye’s grandson was also named for him. We remember their sac-rifices.Please keep Vann and his wife and all our military in your prayers. We live in a world where there seems to be more gray than black and white when it comes to knowing right from wrong. I must remind myself not to ask for this or that based on my knowledge and emotions, but to pray Thy will be done and let God handle it.

It is supported by busi-nesses, churches, and resi-dents connected to the area. The organization pur-chased and donated the land to the Town of Mocksville, which will build the pavil-ion and maintain and man-age the property. “We wanted to make an investment in our commu-nity. We wanted to show that we were willing to put our money where our mouth is by investing in preserving the history of this community and advo-cating for its beautification and safety,” said Tatum. The pavilion continues the beautification projects in the East Depot area initi-ated by retired Mocksville Community Development Coordinator Tami Langdon. She oversaw the addition of a bench, a permanent trash-can, and a picnic table at the pavilion site but wanted to do more. “Tami Langdon ap-proached us and asked us what we would like to have in that area,” said Ta-tum. “We considered what History ... The new pavilion is expected to be similar to the one pictured at left above. Above right, area residents and town officials join in the groundbreaking ceremony. - Photos by Jeanna Baxter White would make an immediate impact on the community if the town invested the mon-ey. We sent out surveys and asked the community what they would like because we didn’t want to assume that we knew what they wanted, and pretty much everyone had the same idea. “Together, we decided to focus on the safety piece of our mission. Every day, I come out of my salon (Hair Solutions) and see young people standing near the road waiting for the bus and in all kinds of weather. A shelter will provide protec-tion for these young people as well as people walking in the area.” She said the pavilion has been a true collaboration. In addition to the town, she thanked Fuller Architecture (John Fuller) for donating the design plans and W.C. Construction Co. (William Cockerham) for donating part of the labor.

Green Milling Company (1813-2021) painting, by local art-ist Donald Hursey, is being re-printed by the Naylor family.Prints will be available on Nov. 10 at the Forks of the Yadkin and Davie County Museum office at 34 Court Square Mocks-ville.The Mocksville mill has quite the history. On Feb. 2, 1813 Peter Saner (Sehner) and Anny Smith were married. The Saner family was one of many Palatinates German’s that settled before the Rev-olution in parts of Mecklen-burg and Lincoln Counties, NC, possibly a descendent of a Jacob Zurn. In the late 1730s through 1740s, German migration came in large numbers from Pennsylvania down the Great Wagon Road into North Carolina. Before leaving England, they cleared multiple cus-tom houses and became legal “English Subjects.” Afterward, they arrived via the Delaware River into Philadelphia, Pa. The sheer numbers derived the nickname “Pennsylvania Dutch,” which historians are quick to point out an error that “Dutch” was mis-pronounced as it was more accurately derived from “Deutch.” Dutch refers to Holland and Deutch indicates Ger-man. In any case, a corre-sponding large migration of Scotch-Irish families mix-ing with English Quakers, and other similar groups, commonly confused the term. Pennsylvania “Dutch” became the slang of migration. After arriving in the Carolina Backcountry (1730s-1750), the German settlers witnessed name changes and in many cases complete anglicization. The Schneider’s became Snyder or Taylor and Shu-macher’s became Shumak-er or Shoemaker and on and on. In 2015, famed NA-SCAR driver Dale Earn-hardt Jr. traveled to Germany to trace his fam-ily ancestry, like the Sain, Hagers and many other Pa-latinate German’s families. The Earnhardts arrived in the area in the 1740s. After filling in the Ca-tawba River areas and building farms and mills, pioneer sons moved toward the Yadkin areas of what is now Davie and Rowan counties.Peter Saner had pur-chased property in current Davie County which was originally Rowan. Like the term “Deutch” to “Dutch,” the name “Saner” experi-enced transition from Zurn to Sayne, Saner, Saine, and finally Sain. After constructing a mill on the nearby creek, local residents referred to the creek as “Dutchman’s” Creek. The land was situ-ated along Dutchman and Cedar Creek. Before the mill, the original name was inter-changed due to the Bryan family which owned much of the area where the creek flowed in Northern Rowan now called Davie Coun-ty. Some old maps use the name Bryan Creek instead of Dutchman Creek. By the mid 1800s many mills dotted Davie County. In this research, as many as 18 mills provided service to the local farming com-munity. However, the location of the “Saner” or Dutchman’s Creek” Mill grew more prominent than others. Peter Saner sold the land and mill to William Dulin in 1821. The Dulin family sold it soon after to Thomas Gibbs. John Lynn purchased the property in 1829. The mill developed a new nickname as the Lynn or Linn Mill. The Lynn (Linn) and Sain families continued with mill opera-tions. In 1860, Albert Sheek purchased the mill where it remained in operation. Following the Civil War and Reconstruction, the mill faltered. Hard times led to bankruptcy for many. Davie County Sheriff S.A. Kelly sold the mill and property at a public auction in 1870. The new owners were W.L. Brown, R.D. Brown, and J.D. Adams. The sale carried with it a name change to – Browns Mill. Also, by this time, the road from Mocksville to the mill drew a reputation. The bridge built adjacent to the mill could become treacherous during rainy periods. The road coming down to the mill area was commonly used. On good days with warm weather, nearby res-idents would frequent the mill. A popular mill pond attracted fishing opportuni-ties, as well as picnics and swimming excursions. The well-worn road heading down to the mill proved treacherous and de-veloped a nickname – The Mud Mill Road. The road name and mill both shared the common nickname. At least, when used locally, otherwise the Browns Mill name continued. Much of the road danger centered below the old Whitaker Church Cemetery. In either direction, the ruddy approach to the bridge adjacent to the mill over Dutchman Creek proved treacherous. On March 15, 1880 a wagon crossing the bridge over-turned due to a rain swollen creek causing the drowning of a Miss Racheal Hamp-ton. At the time period of the drowning, the “Mud Mill” or Browns Mill was owned by the Frits and Dulin fam-ilies. With the Dulin family having a controlling in-terest in the mill, the mill developed another name – Dulin’s Mill. In 1883, the mill changed ownership with its purchase by J.N. and W.F. Summers.Then, it returned to the Brown family in the 1890s. Just after the turn of the century the Brown Estate sold its land containing the mill to Swift Hooper. He resided in Guilford County and it appears mill opera-tions were in decline. By 1908, the mill and the property around its lo-cation was purchased by W. Gaston Allen. In a meeting in 1911, Gaston Allen lis-tened to a proposal by J.P. Green to purchase the Old Mill but not the property. Electricity changed the need for water to power the mill. The railroad com-ing into Mocksville made a circle and stopped. In that location J.P. Green saw op- portunity. Stockholders for this en-terprise provided the funds and the old mill was pur-chased. The mill was disas-sembled and moved to the current location adjacent to the railroad tracks on Depot Street. The mill name changed once again to J.P. Green Milling Co. It went into op-eration on Jan. 1, 1912, and remains a milling operation today. The original stock-holders were: J.P. Green, M.F. Booe, B.R. Steelman, J.F. Garwood, H.H. Smith, and S.O. Rich.The original site of Browns Mill, Mud Mill, Dulin Mill, Linn’s Mill, or Saner’s Mill was purchased once again by the Summers family.And, an attempt was made to start up the old mill, but the mill and dam were destroyed due to an explosion in March of 1915. With the mill pond gone, no other attempts were made to continue mill operations. The Old “Mud Mill Road” was no longer needed as a common road. The road from which it linked to Mocksville changed. No longer the road to “Mud Mill.” Instead, it became a highway from Mocksville to Dulin, and carries the name, “Milling Road.” The old “Mud Mill” Sales from the print of a Donald Hursey painting of the former J.P. Green Milling Co. will benefit the Forks of the Yadkin Davie County History Museum. Mill print sales to benefit Davie museum effort foundation was surveyed in 1968. The original site can be seen in the late fall and winter adjacent to High-way 158 as the road crosses Dutchman’s Creek.In Davie County Histo-ry, J.P. Green Milling Com-pany remains a historic link to times past. It charts a milling legacy dating back to the early 1800s. Despite a tragic fire in 2001, the J.P. Green Mill remained a thriving busi-ness. In 2022, the mill was sold to Wayne Farms to be-come a poultry feed mill. As for the original mill site, its legacy still lives on with the name of “Dutch-man’s” creek. That name appears etched in their blood. A remarkable history for the special people calling Davie County. (336) 751-2304 MILLEREQUIPMENTRENTAL FALL IS HERE!

A Mocksville man and a Union Gove woman face charges of trafficking met-hemphetamine after a search warrant was executed on a Duke Whittaker Road home last week.Justin Paul Potts, 36, of Duke Whitaker Road, Mocksville, and Heather Anne Hall, 46, of Union Continued From Page 1 carry out (their) fidiciary duties ... with wanton dis-regard for the rights and safety of the Town of Cool-eemee and its residents.“The town has sustained and will continue to sustain substantial, consequential Gove, were each charged with trafficking in metham-phetamine, felony maintain-ing a dwelling for controlled substances, and possession of drug paraphernalia. They were taken into custody in lieu of a $500,000 bond each. They are scheduled to face the charges at a first ap-pearance hearing Nov. 9 in Davie District Court.The search warrant stemmed from an ongoing investigation in Davie and Yadkin counties. Detectives seized 1,440 grams of meth-amphetamine, a quantity of marijuana, and numerous items of drug parapherna-lia, said Davie Sheriff J.D. Hartman. The Yadkin County Sheriff’s Office and its K9, Karma, assisted in the search, and the FBI, Home-land Security and the NC SBI all took part in the in-vestigation.The case is still under investigation. Call 336-751-6238 or email sheriff@dc-sonc.com with informnaton. Hall Potts 2 charged with trafficking meth and incidental damages.”The town has already received an injunction or-dering Thies not to dispose of assets before the case is decided. More motions are scheduled to be heard this month.Thies was fired on Aug. 1 after Almond reported that someone had told her that Thies had received an unauthorized $4,000 bonus.According to the law-suit, that bonus was just the tip of the iceberg, as more bonuses were paid, payroll amounts and times altered, and financial statements and receipts were altered. Questions did arise about the payroll in the spring, but Thies falsely claimed a software problem was to blame, the lawsuit said.“He repeatedly abused his position of trust and responsibility to engage in an ongoing clandestine scheme to embezzle funds from the Town of Coolee-mee and secretly convert such funds to his own use, benefit and enjoyment.”The suit claims that during his employment since 2021, Thies used the funds to help pay off his college debt, pay off one vehicle and purchase a Chevrolet Tahoe, and buy a Ski-Doo and a trailer. He also went on numerous va-cations, it said.Former mayor and clerk Steven Corriher was hired as clerk soon after Thies departure.

With in-ternet resources, I was afraid most people had done away with any handwritten notes.I didn’t know the lady and I’d never met her. But after rescuing and reading scores of her neatly scripted recipe cards, I felt as if I’d rediscovered a long-lost friend. I’d like to introduce you to Miss Pam. A part of her culinary journey will live on through me, and I’m delighted to share.First, let me tell you what I recognized about Miss Pam from the get-go. She was a woman who loved being at her stove – but not for long. She was efficient in a kitchen and had found the sweet spot – that place between mini-mal time spent and the achievement of delicious, gourmet food. Miss Pam’s chosen entrees were concise, uncompli-cated, yet tasty. Her recipes spoke of the good life – one where above-par food was relished. From pages of recipes from cooking classes at the L’ Academie De Cuisine in Bethesda, Md., I knew something else – Miss Pam had once thirsted for culinary knowledge and a higher skill level. Her quest? To become a better cook. Often she cor-responded with others – writing down favorite recipes and sharing with folks near and far through by mail.From her collection, I gleaned Miss Pam loved the main entrée – especially the many delicious ways she enjoyed preparing pork. I could hear guests oohing and aahing when a perfectly cooked pork loin smothered in a delectable sauce was placed on her dining table. And Miss Pam’s guests savored some divine beef and chicken dish-es, as well. And her Yummy Rum Cake – well, I could see eyes roll due to that one addition that made her cake a delight – real dark rum liquor. Hand-scripted recipes talk for themselves- they say someone actually took the time to write me down on paper. They divulge – I am a family secret recipe, a child’s favorite, or one fabulous culinary experience that someone once enjoyed. There’s no getting around it – the simple handwrit-ten recipe card speaks volumes, exclaiming,” I’m someone’s fa-vorite!” And Miss Pam has provided us with specific written cooking instructions – those essential to good results. Haven’t we always written down what was important to remember? And all through recorded his-tory, we see that, as well – the writing down of the most important details and facts. God spoke to Moses, giving him the 10 commandments – and writing them down. In the book of Exodus, verse 18, reads, “When the Lord finished speaking to Moses, on Mount Sinai, he gave him the two tablets of the Testimony, the tablets of stone in-scribed by the finger of God.” (NIV)By putting these 10 rules in writing, their importance was emphasized – we were shown how to live more holy. The instructions – they’re relevant for a positive out-come.

DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Nov. 9, 2023 - 11 By Sue WhittakerBermuda Run Garden Club If planning to host a special meal for family or friends during the holidays and are worried about pro-viding a centerpiece for the table, members of Bermuda Run Garden Club have a so-lution. At their November meet-ing, Rodney Spillman of Shallowford Florist led members in learning easy, inexpensive, and fun table arrangements that can be used, with just a little tweak-ing, from now throughout the holiday season. All that’s needed is a block of “wet” oasis from a craft store; a container in which the oasis will fit; a 12”-14” taper candle; a short sturdy stick; some flexible floral wire; some cuttings of local plants like holly and nandina; and a few decora-tions of your choice, such as pine cones, small apples, ornamental grasses, and real or artificial colored leaves. Choose sprigs of hollies that have bright red berries, col-orful nandina branches, and other shrubs that have in-teresting foliage. Be sure to swirl the leaves in water be-fore using them to remove dust and insects. Follow these simple steps to create your table arrange-ment like the ones made by club members at their No-vember meeting: • The night before you plan to assemble the ar-rangement, put the block of “wet” oasis in a clean bucket of water and soak it overnight. • The next morning, se-cure the wet oasis in the container, and insert the base of the candle into the middle. • Push the stems of the Betty Falls’ arrangement celebrates the colors of fall.Lynette Wikle, Linda Ernst, and newest Bermuda Run Garden Club member Donna Willingham begin constructing their arrangements Lynette Wikle won this doorprize created by Rodney Spillman of Shallowford Florist. Try these tips for a seasonal table arrangement Hostess Kerri Lard (left) provides a centerpiece for the November meeting of Bermuda Run Garden Club—another creation of Rodney Spillman of Shallowford Florist. Cindy O’Hagan (centert) plans to use her holiday creation on her dining room buf- fet. At right, Club President Amy Bridges chooses a gold candle for her holiday centerpiece. holly all around the sides of the oasis, encircling it, to form the base. Fill in the top and sides with nandina. If you wish, add other leafy foliage.• Pierce the apple with a short, sturdy stick, and se-cure it into the oasis. • Wrap the bottom of a pinecone with a piece of flexible green floral wire and add it to the arrange-ment. Feathers and sturdy ornamental grasses can be incorporated to provide tex-ture and color. • Finish the arrangement by adding a few blossoms of seasonal flowers, such as mums, from the grocery store. When the flowers be-gin to look wilted, they can easily be rreplaced. • Add water to the con-tainer as needed to keep the oasis wet, and enjoy your creation throughout the sea- son.Members hope you have as much fun creating your table arrangement as they did. Happy Thanksgiving. Christy Schafer and Sharon Reid attended the meeting to share informa- tion about plans for the Flags at the Blue Heron Trail. Members Pat Wagner, Betty Sheek, Kerri Lard, Debbie Vogler, and Gaye Orsini were all smiles after making their holiday arrangements.

Davis, 49, living alone, owned his home, publisher, owned his shop, financial worth was $100. The August 7, 1952, edition of Mocksville Enter-prise was the be-ginning of several articles detailing the various post offices in the Da-vie area. Several began when we were still Rowan County. Here is the introduction: “Davie County Post Offices” by W. Henry Davis: “Probably more than half the peo-ple now living in Davie County do not know of the arrangement of our mail service prior to the year 1900. Before that date every thickly settled section of Da-vie had a post office. “From about 1900 to 1906 the present Rural Mail Ser-vice sprang up after which most of our post offices were discontinued. During this writer’s tenure of office at Fork, which included two periods of postmasterships, totaling 16 years, I obtained a history of every post office that has enlisted in Davie County.

L.L. Miller wrote a response in the paper later: “Neta was on the road that turned east at that time at the “Big Oak,” at Murchi-son and Redman line, on to Farmington by way of where B.C. Teague now lives. Neta was located on the farm now owned by H.H. Hunter. Mrs. J.H. Young was the postmis-tress. It was later moved near Wesley Chapel Church and name changed to Pino. Mr. Daniel Eaton ran a store there and was postmaster. When Route 2 was established, Pino was discontinued.” Now, 76 years later, that answer is not very handy.

Ellis is on the rise. North’s Wildcats blasted visit-ing Corriher-Lipe 78-18 on Oct. 30. Coach Jamey Holt’s 11 pinners were Chris Gonzalez (76), Dom-inic Ishuin (83), Connor Gannon (98), Graylan Anderson (106), Jacob Sides (120), Jason Riddle (132), Taylor Shenberger (138), Jack Greer (145), Isaac O’Toole (152), Jaden Dillard (170) and Nathan Smith (195). The Yellow Jackets handed North two forfeits. “The ones down low are im-proving every day,” Holt said. ND 65, SD 39Three days later at North, the Wildcats grabbed six of the first seven weight classes to build a 35-3 lead, and that was that in a 65-39 decision over South Davie. Pins by Gonzalez (76), Ishuin (83), Travis Duggins (90), Ander- son (106), Preston Young (113) and Kolby Long (120) staked North to the big cushion. The other North pinners were Shenberger (138), Peyton Jordan (160) and Dillard (170). It had forfeit wins at 152 and 220. “I thought we wrestled well,” Holt said after North improved to 3-1. “Preston had a big pin at 113. I thought that was a swing match. Chris and Dominic keep getting better every day. I’m not a fan of headlocks, but Peyton threw a pretty one for his pin at 160.”South (1-4) got pins from Zion Lyons (126), Xander Proctor (145) and Brandon Paster (195). Rico Evans won a decision at 98. North forfeited to South at 132, 182 and 250. Ellis 63, SE 34The Jaguars were too much for visiting Southeast on Oct. 30. Conner Cornatzer, Patrick Regan, Daniel Hennessey, Austin Eggers, Allen Moxley, Randy Hackett and Garrett Whitaker provided seven pins. Carter Hoots won a decision and the Patriots gifted five forfeits. Ellis 66, SB 40 Ellis kept rolling right along in a comfortable home win over Selma Burke on Nov. 2. Cornatzer, Regan, Jaxon Gay, Ayden Davis, Hennessey, Luke Hannah, Parker Johnson, Hoots, Moxley, Hackett, Whitaker and Finn Sink racked up 12 pins as the Jaguars (3-2) stretched their winning streak to three. “The whole team is learn-ing, listening and getting better than they were yesterday,” coach Charles Compton said. “They’re becoming a family and wrestling like one.” North, Ellis wrestling building momentum with win By Brian PittsEnterprise Record Draeton Nance and Noah Dulin are the blue-chippers for the South Davie boys basketball team, but South’s 87-40 rout over North Da-vie was sort of a perfect win for the Tigers because the supporting cast delivered their share of haymakers. A week before the North-South game, the Tigers crushed visiting Southeast 60-12. Nance, who was coming off a 30-point effort, was the star again with 29 points and six 3-pointers. “He can shoot it,” coach Ger-main Mayfield said. “Once he got it going, the kids started passing up shots to get it to him. And that was in two and a half quarters because I didn’t start him because he had been sick. Yeah, he had a day for sure.”The rest of South’s scoring: Dulin 13, Anderson Branham 6, Paxton Lewis 4, Talon Andrade 3, William Martin 2, Owen Parker 2, Tate Sechrest 1. C-L 53, ND 51Two starters fouled out and North Davie dug a 10-point hole in the fourth quarter. Then a furi-ous comeback fell short at Corri-her-Lipe on Oct. 30. “We got into foul trouble,” coach Trevor Gooch said. “I’m proud of the kids for battling hard and not giving up. But we could not get over the hump and played from behind for most of the game.”Wyatt Harwood (15 points) and Edarius Oliver (10) paced the of-fense. North’s fourth-quarter rally was fueled by Isaiah Hernandez (seven). “Both Wyatt and Edarius had solid games,” Gooch said. “Isaiah was a spark off the bench and knocked in two 3s in the fourth.”Reynolds Tomlinson had eight points, Nolan Allen seven and Blaze Sanders four. “Blaze came in off the bench and played well in the post,” he said. SD 87, ND 40The Tigers played an all-time amazing game against visiting North on Nov. 2. The 87-point performance is the most they’ve scored in a game this century, which spans 423 games. Their lights-out shooting in-cluded 15 makes from 3-point land. “Offensively, we were close (to perfect),” Mayfield said. “We just lose focus on the defensive end once we get up, so we go for several minutes with low energy. But on the other end, we’re gonna be able to score with most if we make shots like that.”When the first quarter ended, South was ahead 33-17 and it was basically over. But the first quarter was only a prelude for South, which put up 30 more in the second to roll into halftime with a 63-20 lead. By Brian PittsEnterprise Record When Mt. Tabor’s football team pulled out a 35-34 win over Davie on Oct. 6, the War Eagles were kicking themselves as they left Winston-Salem. The narrow loss was partly a result of missed opportunities. But after the visiting Spartans knocked out Davie in the first round of the 4-A playoffs on Friday, 48-26, Davie had to tip its hat to the sizzling Spartans. Tabor simply played better in every phase of the game. Tabor was firing on all cylin-ders. Davie couldn’t stop running back Zion Thompson (26 carries, 187 yards). Davie couldn’t stop quarterback Lane Albright, who was an efficient 15 of 19 for 258 yards and four touchdowns. The War Eagles couldn’t keep stalwarts Shamarius Peterkin (five catches, 112 yards) and Ja-don Blair (3-64) from beating them deep. “They have two Power 5 guys on the outside, and when you line them both up on (offense), it’s a tough matchup,” Davie coach Tim Devericks said. “You can stop the run and stop the run, and all of a sudden they get 60 yards on one play. It’s a tough outfit to handle.”The 14th-seeded War Eagles finished 7-4. No. 19 Tabor im-proved to 7-4. The Spartans were By Brian PittsEnterprise Record Quarterback Ty Miller, running back Markel Summers, an extraor-dinary group of receivers and a veteran offensive line that included four seniors (Evan Froelich, Evan Copeland, Kevin Lazaro and Jalen Alexander) made Davie’s offense almost impossible to stop.

How many times did he deliver on third-and-10, either with his arm or with his feet? Too many times to count. Miller cracked the top five in the Davie record book in 15 categories. Summers joined elite company at the RB position. He cracked the top five in four categories, includ-ing fifth place in season rushing yards. In the playoff loss to Mt. Tabor, he passed James Mayfield (1,476 in 2007) and David Daye (1,472 in 1996) to take the fifth spot with 1,483. He ranks sixth in career rushing yards with 3,079 from 2021-23. The only ones ahead of him are Cooter Arnold (5,236 from 2002-04), Tate Carney (4,415 from 2018-21), Cade Car-ney (3,815 from 2012-14), Justin Brown (3,531 from 2002-04) and Ricky White (3,096 from 1996-99). He’s ninth in single-season touchdowns with 19. On top of everything he did as a ball carrier, Summers is No. 9 in career catches with 75. At receiver, sophomore Ethan Driver (56 catches, 923 yards), junior Braddock Coleman (42-580), senior Grey Deal (38-571), junior Leon Bradshaw (30-221), senior Evan York (23-366) and senior Kez Stockton (14-180) took turns being the star. Driver did impossible stuff as a varsity rookie, breaking into the top five in two departments to go along with a tie for eighth place in career TD catches (12), 12th place in single-season receptions and 12th in single-season receiving yards. “It’s gonna be hard to replace Please See Records - Page B5 South boys scorch nets Please See Scorch - Page B6 Ethan Driver makes a miraculous touchdown catch, barely staying inbounds. - Photos by Marnic Lewis Landon Barber, Braxton Bowling, Elijah Chaffin run off after Barber’s fumble recovery.

He made great plays and showed he deserved his spot there. Just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse, there’s another problem facing North Carolina’s saltwater fishermen.First, the state restricted recreational flounder fishing in 2023 to two weeks in September, with a one-fish daily limit, while allowing the commercial sector to continue to take 70% of the catch. Then, at meetings of the N.C. Marine Fish-eries Commission over the past several months, trial balloons were floated about possible restrictions on future speckled trout regulations and seasons. Now, we can’t even catch bait.The Commission an-nounced by proclamation recently that fishermen will not be able to catch striped mullet for bait beginning Nov. 7 and lasting through Jan. 1, 2024, in waters north of the US 58 bridge (at Emerald Isle), and from Nov. 14 through Jan. 1, 2024, in waters south of the US 58 bridge.In other words, no more cast-netting for “finger mullet,” a popular bait for trout, puppy drum and, in season, flounder. With the possible exception of live shrimp, finger mullet may be the most-popular live bait in the saltwater marsh-es, creeks and sounds of the Tarheel State.The reason? Too many fish are being caught. A 2022 stock assessment said striped mullet are overfished, and that overfishing is occur-ring. The N.C. Division of Marine Fisheries reported that a 33% reduction in total catch is needed over the next two years to rebuild the spawning stock to sustainable levels and end overfishing within 10 years. Ending the season in early November is their solution.The amount of striped mullet caught by commer-cial fishermen is measured in metric tons, while the amount of striped mullet caught by recreational fish-ermen for bait is measured by, well, the DMF sort of admitted in its fishing man- agement plan that it’s hard to estimate the recreational catch. By comparison, North Carolina’s commercial fishery for striped mul-let is “one of the largest along the U.S. Atlantic seaboard,” DMF said in a report, and it is predomi-nantly a fall effort targeting larger fish for their roe, the mass of eggs that is in high demand in Asian markets. According to DMF, the 1980s and 1990s saw surges in the value of roe, and by 1999, striped mullet were recognized as a “spe-cies of concern” in North Carolina. So commercial anglers target the biggest striped mullet with the most roe, while recreational anglers target small, juvenile finger mullet in the 4-inch neigh-borhood — fish that aren’t even big enough to spawn.Complicating matters is a second species of mullet, white or “silver” mullet, which are not as common as striped mullet, more likely to be found in waters with lower salinity, and difficult to distinguish from striped mullet.Jerry Dilsaver, a noted fisherman and lecturer from Oak Island, said rec-reational anglers would be hard-pressed to target and catch only white mullet in their cast nets. “The mullet you catch in freshwater are silvers,” he said, and members of the marine patrol would not likely be able to distinguish between the two species, so you’re risking a ticket for having a livewell full of white/silver mullet for bait. You can’t even use striped mullet you netted and froze months earlier as cut bait — not without some proof they were caught before Nov. 7 or 14, which most fishermen won’t be able to produce.Dilsaver said that a number of tackle shops along North Carolina’s coast have responded by contracting to have mullet caught in South Caro-lina and Florida waters and transported to North Carolina for sale in their businesses. He said his understanding is that some tackle shops will offer live finger mullet kept in bait tanks the way inland tackle shops keep shiner and shad minnows for bass and crappie fishermen. The rest will be dead finger mullet, some of them sold frozen, for cut bait. But to be legal, tackle shops will have to provide fishermen with docu-mentation that the mullet aren’t from North Carolina waters.So why exactly are there so many finger mullet in other states’ waters that they can be harvested and sold in North Carolina? Heavily restricted com-mercial fisheries. South Carolina isn’t catching metric tons of mullet. Their commercial fishermen can’t set gill nets in coastal waters, and they can’t trawl anywhere but in the ocean.With finger mullet out of the equation, fisher-men are left trying to net shrimp, which will soon be making their way out of inlets and into the ocean as the water cools, or menhaden, which are often too big to use as live baits for anything outside of big ocean predators like mackerel.Again, we take one for the team, if you believe we are all on the same team.

But they’ve played like a team possessed of late, winning their fifth straight. They scored TDs on seven of 11 possessions, they did not punt until the fourth quarter and they av-eraged 8.1 yards per play, compared to Davie’s 4.3. Things started well for Davie. Albright and Thomp-son failed to make a clean handoff and Landon Barber recovered the fumble at the Tabor 44 early in the first quarter. Ty Miller’s 13-yard keeper and his 10-yard com-pletion to Grey Deal keyed a nine-play TD drive that opened the scoring. Unfortunately for Davie, it only took Tabor a minute and a half to answer. On fourth-and-2 from the Davie 47, coach Tiesuan Brown decided to go for it. Davie’s defense was looking for a run play by Thompson, leaving Peterkin in one-on-one coverage. Peterkin got behind the defender and hauled in a 47-yard TD that tied it 7-7. Four minutes later, Al-bright went deep again, this time to the other big-time threat. Blair didn’t catch a pass in the first meeting, but his 49-yard score gave Tabor a 14-7 lead it would never relinquish. “I think they played No. 4 (Blair) a little more on offense than they did the first time,” Devericks said. “That’s smart because you can’t just load up on one side and double cover No. 5 (Peterkin) because then you’re leaving that dude (Blair) one-on-one on an island.”The War Eagles had to trade punches to have a chance in the fourth quar-ter, but they got behind the 8-ball when their 12-play drive bogged down at the Tabor 15.

On Tabor’s next posses-sion, Thompson trucked a defender on a 28-yard scamper, and moments later it was 27-7. “He probably doesn’t get the accolades like a lot of guys do because he gets dirty yards,” Devericks said of Thompson, who averaged 7.1 yards per carry. “Other guys break long ones, but he gets those 7-yard runs, then 4 and then 8.

To the War Eagles’ credit, they did not roll over. Miller was a modest 6 of 15 for 52 yards before catching fire on Davie’s last offensive series of the first half. He completed passes to Kez Stockton, Ethan Driver, Braddock Coleman and Deal. He went 7 of 7 for 77 yards as Davie marched 83 yards to climb back to 27-13 before halftime. (The extra point banged off the upright.)“(Miller) puts it right in the bread basket, and they made some great catches,” said Brown, who talked to Miller after the game. “I said: ‘Son, I think you were one of the best quarterbacks I’ve seen in a long time. I want to get your phone number and call you and I want you to work with my (13-year-old) son.’ I am dead serious about that. I think that young man is phenomenal. I hated it end-ed like this, but hats off to him.”Davie needed a defensive stop to start the second half, but Albright made sure his Spartans stayed in com-mand. He hit 3 of 3 passes for 55 yards to engineer a 64-yard drive that resulted in a 34-13 hole for Davie. “I didn’t even have to say anything (at halftime),” Brown said. “The kids said: ‘It’s 0-0.’”The War Eagles were on life support at this point, but they refused to die. On fourth-and-goal from the 1, Davie running back Markel Summers scored to cap a 12-play, 62-yard drive. Then Matty Warner, Gavin Reese and Elijah Chaffin made defensive plays as Tabor turned it over on downs at the Davie 36. Then Deal and Driver made highlight-reel catches. Deal climbed an invisible ladder to reel in a 19-yarder on third-and-11. Seven plays later, on fourth-and-9 from the Tabor 25, Miller lofted the ball to the right side of the end zone. Driver reached out as far as he could, squeezed the ball and kept a toe inbounds. The point-after kick was no good, but Davie was within one score, 34-26, with 1:28 left in the third. These receivers had clutch genes all year. “We knew they were go-ing to come storming back,” Brown said. “That’s a good team. Coach does a great job with Davie. Each and every year, they bring it.”“All year we kept playing and kept battling each play no matter what the score was,” Devericks said. Barber and Zander Rich-ardson raised hopes for a comeback by coming through on the next defen-sive series. Tabor punted. Davie punted less than a minute later, but Barber made another significant stop on a second-and-4 run by Thompson. Then Al-bright overthrew Peterkin on third-and-3. “(Barber’s) improve-ment from last year to this year has been phenome-nal,” Devericks said of the junior d-lineman. “Pound for pound, he’s one of the stronger guys around, and he’s learned to play with that leverage.” The game’s critical mo-ment was next. On fourth-and-3 from the Tabor 45, the Spartans faked the punt. The upman took the snap and ran an option. He pitched to punter Jaden Wallace. The War Eagles swarmed to the ball and appeared to bury Wallace a yard or so short of the marker when a game-changing play was exactly what they needed with 7:30 remaining. But Tabor got a generous spot and got the first down by a couple of inches. Boos from the home crowd rained down on the officials. “We battled our tails off,” Devericks said. “They got it by four inches.”“We were playing to win,” Brown said. “I knew if we got that, it was going to break their back, and that’s exactly what happened. Ev-erything we do, we practice a lot. I trusted Jaden and he stretched that thing out and got it.”After the spot, a Tabor knockout punch felt in-evitable. On third-and-6, Albright rolled left and took off, gaining 28 yards to the Davie 20. Tabor scored three plays later. At 41-26, that was the stake through Davie’s heart. “They smelled the blood,” Brown said. The Spartans got an add-on TD with 3:20 to go. They only faced third down eight times all game. They were balanced (261 rushing yards, 258 passing yards). They were just fantastically good. When the clock hit ze-roes, Devericks stressed the positives. Davie flipped from 4-7 last year to 7-4 this year - the most wins in four seasons. “They did something that hasn’t been done in a long time,” he said. “I said: ‘Don’t let this sour end-ing put a damper on what you’ve accomplished this year.’”Devericks had to say goodbye to some treasured seniors. “I appreciate everything they’ve given this program every Friday night,” he said. “The things they do in the offseason, coming to workouts ... if it’s easy, there would be a lot more kids in America that did it. Athletics teaches you a lot of things, and unfortunately there’s only one team in every division that’s not gonna have the feeling we have right now.”Notes: Davie’s offen-sive line was banged up by game’s end. Senior right guard Kevin Lazaro in-jured his knee in the first quarter, walked off slowly and watched the rest of the game with crutches. Senior left tackle Evan Froelich walked off gingerly with 7:26 left in the third and did not return. ... Davie lost in the first round for the third straight year. ... Tabor will be a monster next year. Thompson, Albright, Peter-kin and Blair are juniors. ... Devericks (42-40 in eight years) passed Mike Carter (40-42 from 1981-88) this year and climbed to No. 3 in career wins at Davie. The top two: Doug Illing (127-66 from 1998-2012) and Jack Ward (61-51-9 from 1956-67). ... Going into the Tabor game, freshman Chaffin (91), junior Connor Hood (87) and senior Eli Branham (71) were Davie’s top tacklers. Davie Football Statistics Record: 7-4, 5-2 CPC Rushing Att Yards Avg.

B6 - DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Nov. 9, 2023 Continued From Page B1Nance, who came in averag-ing 23.2, had a season-low 14. It didn’t matter because of this was a team effort. Dulin poured in a sea-son-high 23. Martin pounded away for 15. Parker opened eyes with a season-high 12, doing all his damage with 4-of-6 shooting from 3-point range. Branham (nine) and Sechrest (seven) also en-joyed season highs. Besides Parker’s four tri-ples, Branham banged three from downtown. Nance, Dulin and Sechrest hit two By Brian PittsEnterprise Record For the third time in three games, the Ellis girls basket-ball team could do anything it wanted. Four players (Ol-ivia Smith, Gracie Shore, Zoe Summers and Gracyn Coleman) scored in double figures as the Jaguars dis-mantled Southeast 49-3 on the road on Oct. 30. Smith (11 points, nine steals, eight rebounds), Shore (10 points, six steals, five assists), Summers (10 points) and Coleman (10 points) shared the spotlight. But as always, suffocating defense was the key. “As a team, the focus is our defense,” coach Su-san Jones said. “And they have all bought into this 100 percent. You wouldn’t know it by seeing the score, but as a team, we struggled with our shots. They just weren’t falling. They took good shots and kept taking them, which is all we want. But our defensive pressure - reading the ball, forcing turning overs and getting steals - is where we consis-tently scored.”Layla Hazlip, a seventh grader who did not play for Ellis last year, has been an unsung hero. She had four Lady Jags cruise to 4-0 points and eight rebounds against the Patriots. “Our defensive presence in the paint continues to be felt with Layla in the mid-dle,” Jones said. Sydney Ward and Olivia Rareshide had two points each. Ellis 54, SB 35Jones had to be wonder-ing how the Jaguars would perform in a close game. By their 2023 standards, this was a close game - a 19-point road win over Sel-ma Burke on Nov. 2. After outscoring the first three opponents 54-6 on average, Ellis found itself in a competitive game in the first half. The Jags led 14-9 after the first quarter and 27-17 at halftime. They did manage to pull away in the second half. “The score does not de-pict the closeness of this game,” Jones said. “Even after the half, there was a point early in the third quarter where we were only up by six and Gracyn picked up her third and fourth fouls, forcing her to sit the rest of the third. At this point, we switched defenses and everyone responded playing aggressively and put Selma Burke back on its heels.”Shore overwhelmed the Bears with 23 points, nine steals, five rebounds and two blocks. It was her second 23-point outing. Smith had 11 points, five steals and four assists. Those two have been in double figures in points in every game. “Olivia Smith was de-pendable as always,” Jones said. “Gracie led the team and played consistently from start to finish.”After averaging 5.1 points as a seventh grader, Coleman (eight points, six steals, two assists against Selma) has become an of-fensive weapon. Her eighth-grade scoring average is 10. “Gracyn, while limited in time with foul trouble, was still able (to stuff the stat sheet),” Jones said. Hazlip contributed eight points and four boards. Summers and Ward had two points apiece. “Layla really used her strength inside in the second half,” Jones said. C-L 27, ND 20North Davie took a 13-12 lead to halftime at Corri-her-Lipe on Oct. 30, but the Wildcats ran out of gas in the second half and lost de-spite a 13-point effort from Jaynie Patton. Julia Powell and Callo-way Spillman had four and three points, respectively. SD 32, ND 12Allie Cothren, who cracked double figures for the fourth time in five games, matched North Da-vie’s scoring output by her-self as South Davie rolled past the visiting Wildcats on Nov. 2. Cothren (12 points) was the biggest reason the Tigers rose to 4-1, but as coach Julie Snow pointed out, she had plenty of help in other areas. “There was no star in this game because the team was the star,” she said. “These girls are so coachable. We have consistently worked on fundamentals in practice and it is starting to pay off. We are a bunch of athletic girls who are slowly turning into athletes. Our defense is getting better and we all know good defense leads to good offense.”Sakariah Allison and Sa-renity Miller had six points each for South. Scarlett Brock had four, while Akie-la Young and EG Snow had two. For the Wildcats (1-3), who suffered their third loss in a row, Powell had 4, Patton 3, Zariya Oliver 3 and Zoe Shore 2. South got a measure of revenge for last year, when North claimed both meet-ings. Losing weight is about more than just dieting.

Teams from across North Carolina competed in four boys’ and four girls’ races across the various classifications. Davie was represented by junior Thom-as Essic and sophomore Ethan Lakey, who punched their tickets to the state meet by virtue of their per-formances at the previous week’s regional meet. The War Eagle runners acquitted themselves well against the fastest high school runners in the Tar Heel state. Essic crossed the line in 43rd place with a time of 16:40, while Lakey fol-lowed close behind with a 61st place finish of 16:55. Noah Valyo of Athens Drive raced to a course-re-cord time of 15:05 to claim the individual title. He was followed by fellow seniors Raghav Gopalakrishnan of Ardrey Kell (15:15) and Cuthbertson’s Thomas Wla-zlowski (15:39).Marvin Ridge dominated the team race with 88 points to defeat Broughton (137) and T.C. Roberson(148). From the CPC, Reagan claimed the ninth spot (262), while Mt. Tabor was 17th (362). A total of 21 teams and 28 individuals (includ-ing the two Davie runners) qualified for the 4-A race, which had 171 finishers.The 4-A girls’ race also saw a course-record per-formance. Myers Park se-nior Mary Bonner Dalton crushed the field with a stellar time of 16:54. Her winning time bested run-ner-up Chandler Welsh from Reynolds (17:44) by nearly a minute. Weddington’s Grace Hanson was third in 17:46.

MAIN STREET • MOCKSVILLE, NC(336) 751-2120 took top honors in the team race as its 60-point total outpaced defending cham-pion Cuthbertson (105) and Tabor (136). West Forsyth was 14th (353) among the 20 competing teams.“It was a good day for us,” said Davie coach Rob Raisbeck. “It is a tremen-dous accomplishment to make it this far and be able to compete against so many amazing athletes from across the state. Thomas and Ethan were a little disap- pointed with their races, but they shouldn’t be. Take out the seniors and Thomas is 21st. Ethan was the eighth-best sophomore in the state. Those numbers put things in perspective.“We will spend the next six months working on our speed and trying to improve on our mile times. We got off of the line pretty well but we were still 5-7 seconds slower than where we want-ed to be at the mile. With so many good runners and a course that narrows soon after the start, it’s really hard to improve your position in the second mile on the race. So we need to get out a little better. We will come back next year, hopefully with the full team, and see how much we have learned and improved.”Although the high school cross country season has concluded, postseason meets await. “Several of our top guys are going to run the Nike SE Regional meet Nov. 19 at Cary’s Wake Med Park,” said Raisbeck. Runners from across the southeast will compete in one of several regional meets in hopes of qualifying for the national meet, which will take place in December in Oregon. “We will also be transi-tioning to indoor track over the next month, followed by the outdoor season in the spring,” added Raisbeck. “Our runners have a tremen-dous desire to improve, and in many ways training for next year’s cross country season starts now.” Ethan Lakey was out early loosening up. At right, Thomas Essic and Lakey represent Davie in the state cross country meet. B8 - DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Nov. 9, 2023 By Amanda WatkinsFor the Enterprise Arms raised, high fives at the ready. That was the scene on Monday, Oct. 30 as the Davie American Little League Challenger Team concluded their season with an awards ceremony and game. In keeping with the tra-dition of the base buddy program, the Intermedi-ate Baseball Teams were invited, and honored, to celebrate on the field with them. Smiles, cheers and laughs were heard for a sol-id hour. There was not a dry eye in the stands as each player accepted their award for the season and they all watched the accomplish-ments of many players. One example is Sam, who at the start of the sea-son, would not come onto the field to play; but who now walked through the award line smiling and high fiving.And there’s veteran player Seth Grooms – who became the first player to be inducted into the Davie Challenger Team Hall of Fame.For those not familiar with this league, Davie American Little League has one of the largest Challeng-er Teams around. And the best. Players drive as far as 45 minutes to play in their one-hour game every Mon-day.On game days, DLL President Jerry Riddle ar-rives to examine the field conditions and begin any work that needs to be done to get it game ready and wheelchair ready. A Challenger Celebration Davie Little League rewards special players Shortly thereafter, Coach Rich Hunter, Cheryl Jones and his daughter Lila, who is on the team, arrive and begin to set up. Bats of all shapes and sizes as well as soft baseballs are at the ready. And then the magic be-gins. The players, who are of all ages and have a broad range of challenges, arrive and excitement is heard across the complex.Davie American Little League is looking to make guaranteed Monday night play a reality by building a turf field for the Challenger Team. As normal dirt field conditions sometimes pre-vent them from playing, such as after a rain shower, the turf field is much more resilient allowing their wheelchairs to glide with ease. This is why they need the community’s donations to help make this dream a reality.Division Director Chuck DeLuca had this to say: “On behalf of our district, I wish to thank the tremen-dous efforts of all Davie Little League volunteers, and the entire community that supports our Challeng-er program. I am so proud to witness those who con-tinue to unselfishly do the right thing, for the right reasons.”The league would love to continue to grow the team. Registration for the Challenger Team Spring season will open at the end of February and can be found online at www.da-viell.com.Know someone who wants donate?
