He had been on the run since a murder the previous afternoon, said Davie Sheriff J.D. Hartman.Sales is accused of killing his wife, Jade Marie Sales, 34.Investigators aren’t sure of the motive, said Chief Deputy Brian Jacobs. “It happened in the heat of the moment.”An 18-year-old and a 1-month-old baby hid in the residence as the argument ensued. Jade Sales was dead when deputies reached the scene after 2:49 p.m. Tuesday. She had been shot multiple times, Hartman said.The 18-year-old called 911. Davie telecommunication op-erators stayed on the phone with her until deputies were able to arrive and make sure the residence was safe.There were other children who lived at the residence but were in school. They were picked up by school resource officers for safety reasons, Hartman said.The Department of Social Services assisted with taking care of the children and find-ing placements with family, he said. A medical checkup was conducted on the 1 year old.Jacobs said that both had The Davie Band Day will be Saturday, April 27 at the Davie Com-munity Park off Southwood Drive in Mocksville.

Expect to see some of the Davie High School band members on stage, performing with the professional mu-sicians. Tickets are $15 online, $20 at the gate, with the high school band getting a portion of all ticket sales. Davie High Band Director Matthew Brusseau said the performers agreed to play at a reduced rate to support local high school students. “We’ve wanted to do a unique fundraiser that’s not just us selling something,” Brusseau said. “Our lane is music, so this is perfect.” Proceeds will go to purchase equipment help pay for an arts depart-ment trip to New York next year.

Tell uswhat you think The Literary Corner: Renegade Writer’s Guild Please See Renegade ‑ Page 9 To the editor:Thank you for your published interest in the financial problems now facing the residents of Cooleemee. Infor-mation regarding this serious situation is as varied and questionable as the current political affairs here in our country.As an ancient native of Cooleemee, I find myself ques-tioning the route this so-called investigation is taking. It seems to be so twisted in the way obvious guilt and inno-cence have been established. The amount of money em-bezzled by the former finance director is $383,000. It was stated that a civil lawsuit has been filed against Thies (Aar-on Thies, the former director), but nothing has been done to reclaim items known to have been purchased by him and obviously paid for with Cooleemee funds. This infu-riated me because he continues to enjoy the use of these items that he does not legally own. Reclamation seems to be an excuse for lack of action. Some of the items, such as two vehicles, a utility trailer and jet ski and trailer, and ad-vance rental payments are among the purchases. The items lose value as long as he is allowed possession. This lack of action is contrary to the legal responsibility of the attorney who has hired by the previous town board to determine his assets and freeze them, supposedly in order to reduce the tremendous loss to the town. The town’s bonding cov- erage has a $50,000 limit and town insurance coverage maximum was $150,000. Unbelievably, the legal action seeks to recover $125,000 from the ex-mayor and $14,000 from an ex-commissioner. These demands are reported to be the amounts of money that these two elected officials co-signed town checks that were identified by Thies to be legitimate town bills. It has not been proven that either of these people have used a single penny of the town’s mon-ey. Yet both have been ridiculed, chastised, ignored and called “thief” by many people, and not just to their backs.A sad fact that has not been discussed publicly to my knowledge is that the misuse of funds was uncovered two or more months piror to the realization by bank and town officials that there was questionable activity with the town bank account. There must be limited truth in this action or town officials would never have been aware of any mal-feasance on the part of Thies.If there truly will be justice in this sad episode, my hope and prayer is that those who knew of the possibility of mis-use of funds by the town finance director and said nothing should be required to repay the town the exact funds that were embezzled. If this does not happen, then our legal system has filed our town miserably.Sue Steele CorrellThomasville Cooleemee financial situation dire To the editor:I recently read the article about Mr. Rye wanting to re-zone three acres of land in Advance so that he can operate his HVAC business on the property. We live in Mocksville (in the county but within the 1 mile radius so zoning is governed by the town). I am surprised at the contrast be-tween the County Board of Commissioners and the Town Commissioners. In reading the article, I was glad to see that Commissioner Finney actually brought up good points and appeared to actually listen to neighbors that would be affected by the business. We went through a similar situation in February of 2023. Our neighbor asked to spot zone two acres of a 14-acre tract to run his grading/excavating company. We brought up spot zoning at the meeting but were ignored. We brought up environmental concerns because of the oil, gas and asphalt draining onto neighboring property and into a nearby creek but were ignored. Unfortunately, the Mocksville Town Commissioners unanimously ap- proved our neighbor’s request allowing him to spot zone two acres of his property from Open Space Residential to Heavy Construction. While the county commissioners seem to recognize spot zoning, and the fact that such a business doesn’t belong in the middle of a neighborhood, the town commissioners completely ignored it. Spot zon-ing is the same regardless of where you are in the state. As Sandra Mooneyham pointed out, “this is spot zoning at its finest. If you approve this ... you will be setting a precedent for every resident of Davie County.” The same thing was mentioned at our meeting, but again we were ignored. With that said, since the Mocksville Town Commission-ers approved our neighbor’s spot zoning request changing the zoning from Open Space Residential to Heavy Con-struction, hasn’t the Mocksville Town Commissioners now set a precedent for other Davie County residents? Wouldn’t the county commissioners now have to approve Mr. Rye’s request to spot zone for his business as well? Michael DelliSanti, Mocksville Town, county zoning decisions at odds To the editor:The National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC) has been doing a food drive for over 20 years. This is an annual event that the US Postal Service does, always the first Saturday in May. The donations from the public are gathered and then distributed locally in the community. When I was talking to people about this last year, there were not a lot of people who had even heard of this. This was surprising as well as disappointing.This year in Mocksville I hope will be a little different. I would like to encourage each and every one of you to re-member those who are struggling to put food on the table, gas in the car or a roof over their head. It may shock you, but you never know who is feeling the wretched effects of this high inflation. It may be the very last person or family that you would ever suspect of having financial issues.At the DC Flea Market (144 Chance Ln), there will be a donation box set up every day it is open to accept donations for the food drive. Please, if you feel called to donate, do so. You can also leave donations in a bag by your mailbox on May 4. Your mail carrier will be thrilled to pick it up.Let’s help Mocksville make a huge impact on our sur-rounding communities. Let’s put Mocksville on the map as being a very caring place to live. Let’s set some records. All non-perishable food items are accepted. We have a great community. Now get out there and be great, Mocks-ville.Kris. ZdunczykGreensboro Make letter carrier food drive the best Keeping in TouchBy Marie CraigWhen children grow up and move away, most fam-ilies stay in touch and want to be a part of their mem-bers’ futures. I remember reading the book “The Grapes of Wrath” when I was a teenager. It describes the Joad family, victims of the Great Depression and the drought which caused the Dust Bowl migration. We travel along with them as they move farther West in an attempt to find jobs harvesting crops on huge farms. They had several children, one of whom was a teenage boy. After struggling to make a living, he decides that they would be better off without him, and that he can probably find a job easier if he heads out on his own. As I read this, I thought, “They probably never saw him again or had any idea what hap-pened to him.”We live in such a different world now. Our struggles are minimal, and our means of communication are var-ied and extensive. Two members of my family drove from South Carolina to Idaho recently. With my smartphone app, FindMy, I was able to track them on the entire trip. It seemed to me that I was in a helicopter above their heads, seeing their route, their terrain, and their progress. I was fascinated watching their surroundings in Texas and Col-orado. There are a lot of huge farms that water their crops with an overhead sprinkler system. It pivots from the cen-ter which makes huge green circles. There are areas with hundreds of these, and the design reminds one of a quilt pattern. Earlier I had watched my family cross the Mis-sissippi River, and near the end of their trip, I saw huge mountains with snow.They had to give me permission to track them, so this is a controlled activity. They have my permission to track me, which is reassuring when I head out on my own. I had house guests 2 years ago whom I drove up to the moun-tains. On the return, my grandson’s wife was phoned by her mother.They were bicycling in a remote area in Or-egon. He had fallen and been injured. She was riding her bike back to get the car and take him to the hospital. The bike trail ran along the highway, but there were trees be-tween. My grandson’s wife phoned her dad to keep him company, and my grandson was using his phone to track her progress in the car. She couldn’t see where her hus-band was lying but my grandson could watch the location of both of them. He told her when to park the car and walk through the woods to rescue him. I was so impressed with this technology that I knew I wanted this in my life. Did the fictional family, the Joads, ever see their son again? It’s doubtful, but I’m happy to live in this time period of keeping in touch with family using technology. Unsung Heroes, Part IIIBy Julie Terry CartnerSitting in a darkening room, her desk lit by unflattering fluorescent lights, she reminded herself to leave before it was fully dark. The dimly lit parking lot was not a com-fortable place to be at night. Then she continued creating her lesson plans for the year, focusing primarily on the opening unit. The beginning of the year was so important: organizing, developing substantial lessons and transitions, and, most importantly, creating the means to develop rela-tionships that will grow between student and teacher.Though she’d taught for many years, every year was different, every student was unique, and every lesson need-ed to meet the needs of the incoming class. She was not one to robotically repeat previously used examples and instructions. For heaven’s sake, if she referenced Captain & Tenille or Starland Vocal Band as examples, the kids would have no idea whom she was talking about. Laugh-ing to herself, she thought of the students’ reactions if she referenced “Muskrat Love” or “Afternoon Delight.” So, in Unparrelled courage comes from unexpected people You think you know somebody.And then you learn something new.That goes for Dene Pitts of Advance. She’s not exactly a close friend, but I’ve known her through one of her sons, Brian, who is our sports editor. She comes across as a kind wife and mother, just a kind and quiet person overall.She’s all of that and more.When I was shown an article printed in the Stanly News & Press in 2005, I learned something new. She was a trail-blazer, working in the male dominated correctional world until her retirement in 2007 after a 33-year career. We’re reprinting that article here, written by then News & Press managing editor, Joel Barrett. Enjoy.•L. Dene (Zimmerman) Pitts, Assistant Correctional Superintendent for Programs at the Albemarle Correctional Institution, has a quiet, assured manner about her. Deep inside the medium-security prison behind the locked steel doors and the miles of concertina wire, Pitts talks about being a woman in the field many mistakenly think is a man’s domain. The fact is that Pitts is one of three women holding the top four positions at ACI. Pitts, like her boss, Superintendent Jennifer Langley, has been in the corrections field for more than 30 years. “I’ve been in corrections since 1974,” Pitts said. “It’s not something I planned to do. I was looking for a job opportu-nity and I found it. I got into it and loved it.”There’s just a certain satisfaction of doing a good job, she said. She’s quick to point out that the No. 1 mission of the North Carolina Department of Correction is to protect the public and then to help change lives. “That’s where my main role is ... in managing inmate programs,” she said. “If an inmate wants to better himself, we’re here to allow that.”Her career began when she was hired as a Program As-sistant at the Davie County Correctional Center. “I was the first female at that facility,” Pitts said. “There weren’t a lot of females (working) in the prison system at that time. A lot of people didn’t accept us at first.”In 1986, she was promoted to Program Supervisor. And in 1991, she earned the position of Program Director for the North Piedmont Area Office in Winston-Salem. In 1999, the Department of Corrections went to a re-gionalization concept and the North Piedmont Area Office closed. The department was in the process of building ACI on land off Airport Road north of Badin, so she signed on as program director. In August 2003, she was promoted to Assistant Correc-tional Superintendent for Programs at ACI. In her role, she’s in charge of managing and overseeing medical, mental health services, education programs, reli-gious services, volunteer program, inmate work programs, recreation programs, substance abuse treatment programs and inmate classification for the 856-inmate capacity me-dium-custody institution. The prison has a staff of 324 full-time employees and a number of part-time specialty workers such as instructors from Stanly Community College, for its various education programs. It has a payroll of roughly $13 million and is, in essence, its own little community situated on 100 acres in the middle of the fields and woods across from the Stanly County Airport.

A lot of people didn’t ac- cept us at first.” - Dene Pitts Continued From Page 2Some inmates are assigned to road squads and work picking up trash and clearing debris, while hundreds of others work inside the prison cleaning dorms, maintaining grounds and preparing and cooking food. Many of those imprisoned at ACI take advantage of educational opportunities such as GED instruction, courses in Information Sys-tems Electrical Electronics, Computer Engineering, Heating, Air Conditioning/Refrigeration and Business courses taught by instruc-tors from Stanly Commu-nity College. The prison has 200 ed-ucational programs and hundreds of other part-time or additional programs or classes. They range from GED programs to Domestic Vi-olence Program, Sex Offender Treatment Programs, Anger Management and even self-help programs such as Charac-ter Education, Napoleon Hill, Thinking for a Change and Commitment to Change. “The opportunity is here for inmates to better themselves as you can tell from the range of Educational and Human Development Treatment (programs),” Pitts said. The Domestic Violence Program was the first of its kind in the North Carolina prison system and has become the model for other similar programs within the N.C. Division of Prisons. She’s responsible for transitional programs that prepare those incarcerated to return to the outside world. Pitts has the responsibility for all of inmate programs and supervision of staff who are responsible for coordinating Dene ... Dene Pitts, shown above with fellow worker Bobbi Casste- vens at the Davie prison; and at right, at the Albemarle Correctional Institution. specific programs. Managing and supervising the offering of religious ser-vices shows the diversity of her job. The Institution Chaplain, who answers to her, must meet the needs of Christian denominations, Muslims, Jews, Native Americans and even Rastafarian. There’s even inmates who are of the Moorish Science Temple faith, a religion founded in the early 1900s in Newark, N.J. Pitts said she’s overcome hurdles in the field and has some advice for women or men looking for a career in Corrections. “Get that degree if you’re interested in corrections and possibly do an internship at an Institution to see if you like working in prisons,” she said. She said she tries to be a good role model by hard work and perseverance. “I would never ask my staff to do anything I haven’t done or wouldn’t do,” she said. Does she get scared being behind prison walls with felons and worse? “You must have mutual respect and exercise caution and good judgement,” she said. “You can’t be afraid to work here. I wouldn’t have been doing this for so long if I was.”She continues to commute 120 miles a day from Zimmer-man Road in Advance. Since 1999, she’s gone through three cars. She uses the hour-and-20-minute drive to work each day to plan what’s ahead and the drive home to de-stress. She’s active in her church and busy with her family (husband Marion and sons David and Brian), so there’s little time for much else. When she does retire, however, Pitts said she’d like to do some volunteer work. On her desk, a knickknack sums up the feeling of many working women. Its message is clear.The best man for the job is a woman. 118 Hospital st. • Mocksville, Nc 27028 • 336.751.6289 “Because you should want to see your dentist” Accepting Most Major Insurances | RiversFamilyDentistry.com Andrew J.

Homebuilders staff work within a family's home roughly 10 hours each week, three to five days per week, to reduce or remove risk factors and improve child safety to ensure chil-dren can stay safely at home with their family of origin. The goal of the program is to remove the risk of harm to the child, instead of re-moving the child.

Approximately 150 of the top middle school stu-dents from several counties in northwest North Caro-lina competed in the an-nual event at Wake Forest University. William Ellis triumphed over archrival Hanes Magnet Middle School, which usually dominates the region.The team's performance qualified it for the state competition at the N.C. School of Science and Mathematics in Durham.William Ellis had 12 stu-dents.Ian Rareshide, Olivia Rareshide, Chris Samet, and Arjey Teper competed as the school team and as individuals, while Spencer Bass, Brayden Fuchs, Wil-liam Hendrix, Nirat Patel, Natalie Quance, Madeline Ricketts, C.J. Smith, and Lily Tronsen competed as individuals.In the individual results, Teper placed third, Samet fourth, O. Rareshide fifth, I. Rareshide 17th, and Fuchs 25th. At 28th place, Bass tied for the best placement among all sixth graders. William Ellis MathCounts members, from left: front - Nirat Patel, William Hendrix, row 2 - Natalie Quance, Arjey Teper, C.J. Smith; row 3 - Spen- cer Bass, Ian Rareshide, Lily Tronsen, Chris Samet; and row 4 - Coach Steve Rareshide, Olivia Rareshide, Madeline Ricketts, Brayden Fuchs. William Ellis had three of the top seven indi- viduals: Arjey Teper, Chris Samet and Olivia Rareshide. Ellis MathCounts team best in region The team, coached by William Ellis math teach-er Steve Rareshide, began practicing weekly after school in October, and sev-eral times weekly in Janu-ary and February.MathCounts is a national program designed to im-prove mathematical prob-lem solving skills among middle school students, who are at a crucial stage in developing and sustaining math interest and ability.As one of the lon-gest-running STEM pro-grams for middle school students in the nation, MathCounts encourages student interest through written and oral challeng-es. Topics include algebra, geometry, number theory, patterns, and probability.In North Carolina, Math- Counts is sponsored by the Professional Engineers of N.C., which organizes the event for public and pri-vate schools. The top teams from the regional events advance to the state compe-tition, and the state winners participate in the national finals.“What a wonderful group of kids,” Rareshide said. “They worked ex-tremely hard and were very coachable. We were thrilled to overcome our archrival, Hanes Magnet Middle School in Winston-Salem.”A sample problem from the non-calculator round of this year's contest: “What is the least nine-digit pos-itive integer that contains each of the digits from 1 to 9 exactly once, and is divisible by 99?” Answer: 123,475,869. The Second Annual Walk for a Cure for MS (Multiple Sclerosis at the Park at Lake Louise, 2251 US 64 E,, Mocksville, is scheduled for April 27 from 10 a.m.-noon. All are invited to walk and her from representa-tives for the Carolina Chap- ter of the National MS So-ciety. Participation is free. Donations to the National MS Society will be accept-ed.MS is an immune me-diated disease. This means that the body's immune system attacks the central nervous system by mistake. The central nervous system is the brain, spinal cord and optic nerve. When the im-mune system attacks the nervous system, it damages the myelin which surrounds and insulates the nerve fi-bers. This leaves the nerve fiber very much like a wire with no insulation. There-fore, the messages from the central nervous system are altered or stopped altogeth-er. This results in many po-tential neurological symp-toms. The damage may occur in multiple areas of the central nervous system which is why the illness is called Multiple Sclerosis.Because MS can affect parts of the central nervous system, signs and symp-toms vary from one person to the next. The most com- mon are fatigue, MS Hug which is a squeezing sensa-tion around the chest, walk-ing difficulties related to loss of balance and weak-ness, numbness or tingling, spasticity which results in muscle stiffness and involuntary movements, weakness due to lack of use of muscles or damage to the nerves, vision prob-lems such as double vision and loss of vision, dizzi-ness and vertigo, sexual dysfunction, bladder and bowel problems, emotion-al changes such as anxiety, mood swings and irritabil-ity, cognitive issues such as memory and attention problems and depression. Symptoms can range from minimal to severe disability.MS is not curable. Treat-ment requires a multi-sys-tem approach. Many health strategies are used, includ-ing physical therapy, ex-ercise, regular sleep, good nutrition, avoidance of tobacco, moderation of al-cohol intake, stress relief, emotional support and re- habilitation. Thanks in large part to the National MS Society, major advances have been made in the treatment. Multiple medications are available to decrease the frequency of exacerbation (called relapses), treat re-lapses and slow the pro-gression. The National MS Society provides support for people with MS as well as families, friends and as-sociates. One of the goals of is to increase awareness and understanding of MS.The local walk is orga-nized by Dr. Joel Edwards, who has MS, and helped start the park.“I started raising mon-ey for the NMSS in 1997 through participation in the Bike MS Tour to Tangle-wood,” he said. “This was a fun event to support re-search and patient services for MS which affected sev-eral of my patients.“Then, in 2012, while training for a triathlon, MS became personal. Within three weeks, I went from bicycling, running and swimming to being barely able to walk. Fortunately, with treatment with high dose steroids and medica-tions specifically for MS, I was able to return to most of my activities. “Today, I still have sig-nificant problems with walking due to muscle spasticity and weakness as well as issues with bal-ance. Overall, though, I am one of the fortunate people who have MS for which I am thankful. I still plan to participate in the Bike MS Tour to Tanglewood even though I am transitioning from a bicycle to an electric tricycle.”Edwards is thankful for sponsors for the walk fas well as individual donors. All funds raised will go to the National MS Society.The park is adjacent to Collin Creek Golf Course.

Edwin Wayne LongMr. Edwin Wayne Long, 82, of Mocksville, passed away in the early hours on Saturday, April 20, 2024, at Kate B. Reynolds Hospice Home in Winston-Salem.He was born Oct. 14, 1941 in Shelby, NC to the late Walter Herbert and Margaret Susan Spake Long.Mr. Long graduated from No. 3 Township High School where he was a class officer, president of the student coun-cil, voted most popular boy in the senior class, co-captain of the basketball team, and received the Babe Ruth Award for baseball. He played shortstop on the Shelby American Legion Baseball Team.

After graduation, he joined the National Guard and attend-ed Leadership School during his 6 months of active duty. Holly Farms Poultry Industry, now Tyson Foods, hired him immediately after his military duty and he worked for them 26 years, enjoying many opportunities for worldwide travel during that time. Later he worked for Coble Dairy and Star Milling Company until his retirement in 2004. In his remaining years he enjoyed golf, helping his neighbors, and tackling the honey do list for his wife and daughter. He was a Mason, Shriner, and Scottish Rite member. He was a member at First United Methodist Church in Mocksville.He was preceded in death by his parents and two broth-ers, Hugh and Max Long.Survivors include: his wife of almost 58 years, Anita Patterson Long; daughter, Julia Long; sister, Rachel Smith; his much loved nieces and nephews; and he was honorary “uncle papaw” to his grand nephews, David, Jonathan, and Stephen Loy.A memorial service will be held at 3 p.m., Sunday, April 28 at First United Methodist Church in Mocksville, with Rev. Lori Anne Bowen and Rev. Mark Loy officiat-ing. The family invites friends for a time of visitation after the service.In lieu of flowers, please consider memorials to: Shri-ners Hospital for Children, 950 W.

Continued From Page 2addition to her required work, she chose to stay on top of the current culture to be able to relate better to her stu-dents. This was just one of the ways she spent personal time preparing for the school year.Hours passed unnoticed as she wrote, and tweaked, and then opened a PowerPoint presentation and illustrat-ed slides. Suddenly realizing it was full dark outside, she clicked Save one final time and packed up to leave. Then grabbing her laptop in case she had time after the kids went to bed to work some more, she headed home.The workdays passed in a flurry of lesson planning and meetings. She was lucky, she thought, that she was allowed into her room all summer; that way she’d had time to decorate before the required workdays began. She’d de-cided to go with a nature theme to start the year. When her students entered the room the first day, she wanted them to feel like they were entering a sanctuary rather than a ster-ile classroom. So, plants and flowers filled the room while nature sounds poured through her speakers. Over the weekend she’d go shopping to buy notebooks and paper, pens and pencils, and colored pencils and mark-ers too. There were always students who couldn’t afford school supplies. As always, she’d keep an eye out for needy students. She’d also buy a few bookbags, tee shirts, sweatshirts and sweatpants, along with juice boxes and packaged snacks. From experience, she knew they would come in handy too. It’s hard for a student to concentrate when he or she is hungry or embarrassed about his or her clothing.For the next 180 days, she arrived hours early or stayed hours after the close of school to tutor students who need-ed help or a listening ear, or to mentor some fresh, young teacher who was overwhelmed. She volunteered to spon-sor the journalism club on Monday afternoons and ran the intramural volleyball team on Tuesdays and Thursdays. After all, how could she say no when her clubs and activi-ties might be the difference between success or failure for a student? How could she pass up an opportunity to help shape a young mind or give someone a safe place to spend the afternoons? Then, every evening, loading up her laptop and stacks of papers, she headed home to her family.As the school year progressed, the pile of papers to grade never diminished. She did her best to leave school every day by 5:00, in time to cook dinner for her fami-ly, spend essential time at the dinner table discussing the day’s events, and be present in the evenings to help with homework and projects, and to be a parent and wife. But when the kids went to bed, she pulled out the assignments, tests, and lesson plans, and gave her best to encourage and enlighten young minds until her eyes became too heavy, and she could stay awake no longer. Then, off to bed she’d go, only to start over again the next day.Thus is the life of the public education teacher, the un-sung heroes who give so much of themselves to help fu-ture generations find their way in this challenging world. The NewsBy Gaye HootsI don’t watch the news, nor do I watch TV unless some-one else turns it on. I scan the internet and shake my head at what I read. Recently I did an article about a woman from a foreign country who took a job here as a civilian on an air force base. She was entrusted to handle funds to be used for military families. She had been employed in that position for many years, and her supervisor trusted her and did not check how the money was spent. Over eight years she bought numerous luxury properties, vehicles, expensive jewelry, and designer clothes. Her salary was one hundred thirty thousand dollars a year and she had declared bankruptcy.It took our government this long to question how she managed this and to learn that instead of the military fami-lies benefiting from these funds she had stolen them. Over one hundred million dollars of taxpayers' money. When she appeared before a judge, she was not even asked to post bail but released. She pleaded guilty and was allowed to retire with full benefits because Congress had voted that federal employees could keep their benefits even if con-victed of a crime.I was sure this was a result of our lenient punishments. Then I read of a woman in Vietnam who, despite knowing she would face the death penalty, embezzled over fifteen billion dollars from a country that is not wealthy. She was sentenced to death.Another article involving taxpayer money was of a po-lice officer in California who was Samoan. Some of his fellow officers had used racial slurs and belittled him. He reported them to his superior officer who retaliated by tak-ing him off Canine duty and assigning him to a less desir-able position. He sued the police department and instead of disciplining the guilty officers the judge awarded him over eleven million dollars.In New York City officers were found guilty of forcing Muslim women to remove their head coverings for mug shots. Again, no disciplinary action was cited but an award of seventeen million dollars was made.A women’s prison in California referred to as a “rape prison” was closed. Efforts to improve conditions have failed over several years. The warden and six correctional officials were charged. I wonder why they had not been removed and prosecuted instead of closing the facility.There are frequent cases of family members being mur-dered over custody issues leaving minor children with one parent or grandparent a murder victim and the other incar-cerated for murder. This story is repeated weekly.Another is one spouse or lover killing another and often committing suicide afterward. They must know how this always ends.One story is about a mayor and his wife, a superin-tendent of schools, who were videoed physically abusing their daughter.The first case of parents whose son killed others with a gun he took to school, being tried and sentenced was publicized. The son exhibited mental health symptoms but neither the parents nor the school insisted upon treatment. Both parents were sentenced to several years in jail. This is a first, and hopefully will make other parents aware of their responsibilities.There is the Baltimore Bridge where laws were passed that limit the liability of a ship to the value of that ship. An-other case of taxpayers having to pick up a tab that should not be theirs.There were two stories on a lighter note. An eighty-five-year-old woman who had a special needs adult son in her home was attacked by a robber who tied her to a chair. While he was searching her house she pulled the chair with her, retrieved a gun, and shot the robber. Her son did not wake and find her until the next morning. She survived but the robber did not.The other was of a man kidnapped and tied up by two other men. He was able to get his cell phone out and with his hands tied together texted for help. The men were ar-rested,I don’t lose sleep over these issues. I pray about them, and I recognize that as a voter and taxpayers, we have little power. The only solution I can think of as a voter would be to let each candidate serve one term and then vote them out. This is not likely to happen because of party loyalties.My peace comes from my belief in God, my love for my family, friends, community, and my ability to enjoy today. The sun is shining, my daughter is visiting, and we enjoyed good food with friends. No bills are overdue, and we are healthy. God bless. Renegade...

DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, April 25, 2024 - B1Sports By Brian PittsEnterprise Record It’s not official yet, but Davie boys golf is all but assured of its first conference championship since 1997. All the War Eagles do is win; the rest of the Central Piedmont Conference season is a formality. Davie shot 5-over 149 at Oak Valley on April 15, outscoring West Forsyth (152), Reagan (160), Reynolds (163), Mt. Tabor (171) and East Forsyth (173). Cooper Drum was the star, which is saying something on a team full of stars. The senior shot even-par 36 even though he bo-geyed the first hole. Then he went par-par-par-birdie (No. 7). After a double bogey, he rattled off par, birdie (No. 1) and his third birdie of the day, the icing on the cake on No. 2. Evan Owen shot 37, while Anderson Beliveau and Landon Packard turned in 38s. •••Three days later at Tanglewood, the ruthless War Eagles just pad-ded their lead (they haven’t been beaten in any meet this season). Beck Owen birdied No. 9 to lead Davie with a 1-under 35, which was second overall behind a 34 from West Forsyth’s Hershal Patel. E. Owen had a 37 as Davie shot 8-over 152 as a team. Drum and Packard had 40s. The other squads from the league fought for second, with Reagan at 156, West 157, Reyn-olds 161, Tabor 168 and East 175. War Eagle golf team ready to clinch By Brian PittsEnterprise Record The Ellis baseball team is trying to run away from the pack in the Tri-County Conference. The Jaguars (8-1) only have one loss, and they avenged that with a 7-6 win over North Davie. Ellis ripped through visiting Mooresville 11-1 on April 15. Mooresville was only down 4-1 in the fifth, but moments later it was a 10-run game. Brandon Forest and Wade Hef-ner blasted homers. The offensive leaders: Mason Driver (3-3, three runs), Ben Bost (2-3, two RBIs), Forest (three RBIs), Hefner (2-3, four RBIs), Bowman Blakely (1-3) and Levi Block (1-2). Driver only needed 56 pitch-es to complete five innings. He pitched a one-hitter, and the only run scored was unearned. Two days later, Ellis overcame three errors and rallied for a 7-3 home win over West Rowan. The Jaguars were certainly deserving victors after outhitting the Bull-dogs 11-4. They turned the game in the fifth inning. Bost singled. With two on and one out, West changed pitchers. But he was greeted on his first offering, resulting in a two-run hit by Jackson Nance to give Ellis a 4-3 lead. Ellis tacked on insurance runs in the sixth thanks to Forest’s three-run homer. Putting up multiple hits were Driver (3-4), Bost (2-3), Forest (2-4) and Nance (2-2, three RBIs). Blakely and Hefner both had one hit. Forest also got it done as the relief pitcher, striking out 10 in 5.2 innings. •••North Davie was oh so close to a 3-0 week. Instead, the Wildcats had to stomach three stinging loss-es that left them with a hardluck 6-4 record. In an 18-13 slugfest loss at West Rowan on April 15, North led 8-3 before the teams were tied at 8-8 and 10-10. North held brief leads at 11-10 and 13-12 before West took over in the final two innings. Jason Riddle (2-4, three RBIs), Jack Greer (2-4, two RBIs), Kolby Long (2-4) and Taylor Shenberger (1-2, walk, four runs) helped the Wildcats answer time and again. Six different guys saw the mound for North, adding up to 183 pitches. The defensive player of the game was the catcher, Riddle. “Hats off to West Rowan,” coach Trevor Gooch said. “We jumped out with three runs and they matched it. We go up 8-3 and they matched it.

Two left thumbs, maybe, but my ability to grow things over the first 65 years of my existence has been limited to the green stuff growing in old cups I forgot to bring up out of the basement while put-ting line on fishing reels or piddling with box calls to make them sound more like a turkey. But at least, after all these years, I’m giving it the old college try, 46 years after I left Athens, Ga., di-ploma in hand, headed to a newspaper job in North Carolina. Why the delay? I didn’t have much success with a one-time effort in the back-yard of our first house. It was too much like work, but of course, that had something to do with me biting off more than I could chew. My first garden was way too big. Continued From Page B1came off.”Less than 24 hours later, North was in another dog-fight, this time at Moores-ville. The Red Imps only managed three hits against Noah Potts (4 innings, 8 Ks), Long (1 inning) and Wade Ridenhour (1.1 innings), but they took advantage of four errors and got out with a 6-5 win over the visiting Wildcats, who were tied going into the bottom of the seventh and hoping for extra innings. North’s five hits were delivered by Ridenhour (2-3, double), Potts (1-1, walk), Greer (1-3, double) and Riddle (1-2, two walks). North had a chance to knock Mooresville out in the top of the seventh, when Potts, Greer and Riddle opened with consecutive walks. Mooresville made a pitching change, and the new arm struck out three straight batters to keep the score tied. Gooch’s defensive player of the game was shortstop Easton Stanley. “Tough loss,” Gooch said. “Another snakebit loss.”Ellis 7, North 6A classic was held at Ellis on April 18. Ellis led 2-0, then it was 2-all. Ellis led 4-2 before North fought back to grab a 5-4 advan-tage. North broke a 5-5 tie in the top of the sixth when Riddle scored on a passed ball. Somebody had to lose. Forest and Co. made sure it wasn’t them in the bot-tom of the seventh. On the first pitch of the frame, Outdoors: But now, in pursuit of elusive green thumb At our second house, which we moved into in 1990, my wife and I decid-ed that we would love some backyard shade, so we had the builder leave more than a dozen trees, one of which is an elm that has a trunk a good 40 inches in diam-eter. Needless to say, we got our shade, in spades. But having a backyard that was 10 degrees cooler than the front yard during the summer isn’t conducive to enough sunlight getting through for a garden. At least I didn’t have much grass to mow. A handful of years ago, however, several of the trees started to concern us, so we had two walnuts, a cedar and two gums cut down, plus the largest branch of a third walnut – I was really tired of it drop-ping its fruit on the hood of my car, leaving marks. Suddenly, I had a back-yard that got lots of sun-light. Ah, ‘What about a garden?’ I asked my wife. After her cackling laugh-ter died down, she figured even I might be able to grow something that she could eat. So last year, I cleared a 12x60 section, surrounded it with rabbit fencing, and started hoe-ing the sucker up. I built one raised bed out of 2x10s I had left over from some project. I made use of some big flowerpots – I mean, BIG flowerpots – for potatoes and questioned what my darling might like planted besides spuds. We settled on carrots for the raised bed and green beans and butter beans for the rest of the garden. I saved one bucket for a tomato plant. Okay, so it wasn’t a resounding success. The carrots quit growing when they got to about the size of my thumbs. The tomato plant, well, it didn’t make it. Ditto the butter beans. But the green beans, well, we ate on them for about two months. Success. Over the winter, my wife suggested that I give up on carrots and toma-toes. In the raised bed, she wanted zucchinis. Forget the butter beans. She really wanted enough green beans to can them in Mason jars and spread them around the kids’ families. So, I bought a used Mantis tiller at one of Kyle Swicegood’s online auc-tions, got it into running shape, and tilled the entire garden, leaving it, in my opinion, just beautiful. I got online and read everything I could find about growing green beans – Kentucky wonder pole beans, in this case. My son, who was send-ing off soil tests from a corn patch in his back 40 and for our dove field, scooped up some dirt from my garden and sent it off for testing. It came back great. Limited fertilizing necessary. Did my wife appreciate those efforts? Well, last week, she handed me the phone one night with instructions to pick the brain of her cous-in, Everette, who plants a legendary garden every spring in his home in Troy, Va., just down I-64 from Charlottesville. Everette walked me through every-thing that I needed to know that I hadn’t found on the internet. This past weekend, I added some potting soil and compost to the dirt, and about half the garden was filled with poles – pieces of bamboo arranged in teepee fashion for the climbing beans – and seeds were buried. The other stakes, with a latticework of jute string – Everette’s sugges-tion, should be in place by the end of this week, along with those seeds. And the potatoes have already broken through and are sprouting nicely. I took a good, long look at my hands this morning, searching for signs of a green thumb. Instead, all I saw were cuts and skinned places some of the cuts scabbed over, plus plenty of skin missing from the tips of a number of fingers. I guess success comes at a price. Now, if I can just find success.

It’s a top part of her week. Every Monday she looks forward to it.”Softball camp June 17‑20 Davie softball will hold its summer camp June 17-20 from 8:30-11:30 a.m. at the high school.

Tabor Forest smacked a double. North intentionally walked Blakely to bring up Block, who wound up being the late-game hero. He dropped down a bunt. North couldn’t make the play at first, the ball getting thrown away to allow Forest and Blakely to score the tying and winning runs on the same play. “Levi had a bad swing,” Ellis assistant coach Frank Nifong said. “I called time and told him to bunt. Both the pitcher and first baseman crashed on the ball, resulting in no one at first that led to an overthrown ball into right field. Never would have guessed it would have worked, but it did. It was a nailbiter of a game. (North’s) Taylor Shenberger pitched his butt off.”For Ellis, Nance and Hefner cracked home runs. Block pitched three innings and held North to one earned run. Driver got the win by holding North to two hits and one earned run over four innings. North got two hits from Potts and one from Stanley, Shenberger, Greer, Riddle and Sawyer Hall. Shenberger pitched well enough to win, striking out 11 in five innings. Preston Young made a diving catch in left field to earn North’s player of the game on de-fense. Gooch was drained after the three-game week. “Tough week,” he said. “I told our guys to hold their heads up. We played three close game.

We opened to fill a hole in Davie County. That hole was a lack of a permanent place for vendors to not only sell their wares, but also to introduce the community to new and exciting items. There are so many loyal cus-tomers that come out every weekend to check out the new items and treats. Speaking of treats, let me tell you what we have to offer! From freeze dried candy to cake pops, to por-table sweets (like strawberry shortcake!), to brookies…oh, my! The choices are daunting, and you won’t make a bad one. We also have some great talent in our artisans. A woodcrafter, a leather smith, a laser engraver and sev-eral jewelry makers, along with pet portrait services and homemade pet treats. Specialty items include tumblers, blingy jewelry, handmade bookmarks, 3D printed items, resin keychains and business card holders, holsters/belts, wooden flags, and personalization is always a big seller! Of course, there are all kinds of everyday items and tools available, along with toys and household goods at fantastic prices. You cannot leave out the vintage, col-lectible and antique dealers, each with their own origi- nal style and taste. You can find signs, glass wear and china, bottles, Tom Clark gnomes, racing and sports memorabilia, Harley Davidson items and cast iron. There are various food trucks that come each week-end. Even if there is not one scheduled to come, there is a popcorn/nacho stand with drinks and coffee so there is always something to snack on, whether you have a sweet tooth or crave some savory! We offer a very family and pet friendly environment, and kids of all ages are always welcome. We love see-ing our regulars and our new friends that come out. Any questions about being a vendor or bringing a food truck out should be directed to Mechelle Trivette at (704) 500-1891. Also, please check out our Facebook page, DC Flea Market, for upcoming specials and events! Remember, the DC Flea is located inside, so weather/temperature is not an issue.
