He is charged with murder. Deputies were first dis-patched to a stabbing call at a residence on Gwyn Street in Mocksville at 11:56 p.m. June 21.The victim - Mark Randall Dukes, 62, of the residence - called 911, and died en route to the hospital, Davie Sheriff J.D. Hartman said. Two fe-males were in the house when officers arrived.“Carter and Dukes are known to each other and were possibly involved in a distur-bance at the time of the stab-bing,” Hartman said. The two had been seen together earlier in the day, and Carter was the partner of Dukes’ niece.Carter fled the scene that night on foot.Hartman said that extra of-ficers were on patrol in town through the night and morn-ing.Just before 9 a.m., some-one called 911 and said they had seen the suspect behind a residence near the scene of the stabbing. Officers were on the scene within a minute and a half, Hartman said, and found the suspect hiding under a child’s inflatable swimming pool. By Mike BarnhardtEnterprise Record A Davie County Sheriff’s officer charged with DWI after two vehicle crashes earlier this month has been fired.Hannah Whittington, a sergeant in the detective division, was suspended the night of the incident and was fired a week later after the sheriff’s policy review committee looked over the case compiled by the N.C. Highway Patrol.Davie Sheriff J.D. Hartman said the office has a written pol-icy that all deputies know about when they are hired. Whitting-ton had no blemishes on her record until this incident, he said.According to the NC Highway Patrol, Whittington was driv-ing a vehicle on North Main Street in Mocksville the evening of June 11 when it crossed the center line and struck a pickup truck nearly head on. She didn’t stop, and struck another truck after going across the center line a second time on US 158.Whittington registered a .33, more than four times the legal limit, on a breath analysis test. She was taken to the hospital for treatment of minor injuries. She was charged by the highway patrol with DWI, driving left of center, and hit and run.Hartman said, per policy, she was suspended from her job that night pending review. That review started on Friday after the sheriff’s office received a copy of the highway patrol report on Thursday afternoon. The results of that review were handed to Hartman the following Tuesday, when she was fired.Arresting officers reported Whittington had trouble follow-ing instructions, slurred speech and red, glassy eyes.

Tell uswhat you think The Literary Corner: Renegade Writer’s Guild Hidden GemBy: E. BishopIt’s June, time to take a trip to the foothills to pick cherries (or just go by the orchards and buy them already picked). The latter is what I prefer now. And, while we are in the area, we like to find new places to explore. We found a gem of a house to tour in Mt. Airy that seems to have been hidden from us before.As the guide explained to us how this house was preserved, it reminded me of a Joni Mitchell song “Big Yellow Taxi”.“Don’t it always seem to gothat you don’t know what you got ’til it’s gone?They paved paradise and put up a parking lot”As the story goes, the last surviving owner of the house was continually being asked by the adjoining encroach-ing church to sell. Finally, she asked this church why did they so desperately want to buy her property. You guessed it - to put in a parking lot! She politely told them “over my dead body.” Cindy Puckett, executive director of the Gilmer-Smith Foundation, has graciously granted permis-sion to use the following information in order to make the public more aware of this wonderful historical site. Around the turn of the century, Jefferson Davis Smith built a late Victorian-Colonial Revival house overlooking North Main Street. Smith was a local merchant and land-owner who operated a general store, several farms, and numerous rental properties. Upon his death, his oldest daughter, Gertrude, moved back to the Smith family home and assumed the management of the family businesses. Gertrude, who was an interior decorator, had previously worked with two prestigious decorating firms in New York City and owned her own interior decorating business in Greensboro for many years. She used her decorating tal-ents when she came back to Mount Airy by updating and enlarging her childhood home and filling it with beauti-ful period antiques. Gertrude was also very involved in historic preservation and was one of the charter mem-bers of the Mount Airy Restoration Foundation. It was her passion for preservation that caused her to form the Gilmer-Smith Foundation whose board of directors would The Gertrude Smith House on Main Street in Mt. Airy is open for tours from the public. A riverboard on the Mississippi. oversee the perpetual care of her home. When Gertrude died in 1981 at the age of 90, she willed that the home be left as though it was still occupied and that it be used as a ‘living museum’.A tour of the Gertrude Smith House gives visitors the feeling that the Smiths just walked out the back door. Furnishings, accessories, and artwork are displayed just as they were when the Smith family occupied the home. Even the dining room table is set with Miss Gertrude’s chi-na and crystal. Personal items have been carefully placed throughout the home for all who come for a visit to relish, appreciate, and enjoy.Original plantings of oak, ash, fruit and nut trees along with many flowering shrubs are woven throughout the Victorian landscaped grounds. After a brief history of the family and home, visitors are allowed, at no charge, to ex-plore the home and outdoor area at their own pace. A gem indeed.The Gertrude Smith House, 708 N. Main St., Mount Airy, is open April-December, Monday, Tuesday, Wednes-day and Friday 11-4. Christmas Open House begins Tues-day after Thanksgiving. gilmersmith708@gmail.com. Our Travels, Part IIBy Linda H. BarnetteOne of our favorite states to visit was Mississippi. It is a beautiful state, especially the area of the Gulf Coast, the less traveled roads, and the Mississippi River, as well as its rich history.On our way to Mississippi, we always detoured to Bell-ingrath Gardens Theodore, Alabama, just up the road from Mobile. The Bellingrath mansion is a beautiful home built by Walter Bellingrath, one of the first Coca-Cola bottlers in the south. The house and its expansive gardens sit on 65 acres of land with gardens that are as pretty as any I have seen. There are walking trails, many flowers, lakes, and more. It is located on the Fowl River, where we took a boat ride to see many beautiful homes along the water.From there we took Highway 10 to Biloxi. Biloxi is famous for its many casinos as well as several historical sites. Our favorite spot was Beauvoir, the home of the president of the Confederacy, Jefferson Davis. It is a beau-tiful home that sits less than a block from the Gulf and was damaged a lot by Hurricane Katrina. Luckily, we saw it both before and after and the storm and saw several things that could never be replaced, such as Davis’s burial car-riage. The front porch is lined with rocking chairs, and we enjoyed sitting out there and feeling the cool ocean breeze. Another favorite spot was Tunica, Mississippi, nick-named “Little Las Vegas” because of all of the casinos there. It’s very close to the Mississippi River, so one of the things we really enjoyed was a ride on a riverboat. From the view from the boat, the river looks massive, and at some points you cannot see all the way to the other side. Tunica sits about 20 miles below Memphis, Tennessee, The Beauvoir House. The Bellingrath Mansion on the Gulf Coast. and the drive back home via I-40 is about 650 miles. It’s interesting also that both Biloxi and Tunica were early In-dian tribes.I am so glad to have had all of these experiences, but I wish I had taken more pictures! “In vain, after these things, may we indulge the fond hope of peace and reconciliation. There is no longer any room for hope. If we wish to be free if we mean to preserve inviolate those inestimable privileges for which we have been so long contending if we mean not basely to abandon the noble struggle in which we have been so long engaged, and which we have pledged ourselves never to abandon until the glorious object of our contest shall be obtained, we must fight! I repeat it, sir, we must fight! An appeal to arms and to the God of Hosts is all that is left us!“Besides, sir, we shall not fight our battles alone. There is a just God who presides over the destinies of nations; and who will raise up friends to fight our battles for us. The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave… There is no retreat but in submission and slavery! Our chains are forged! Their clanking may be heard on the plains of Boston! The war is inevitable and let it come! I repeat it, sir, let it come.:It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!”- Patrick Henry, 1775•“It was the first solemn declaration by a nation of the only legitimate foundation of civil government. It was the corner stone of a new fabric, destined to cover the surface of the globe. It demolished at a stroke the lawfulness of all governments founded upon conquest. It swept away all the rubbish of accumulated centuries of servitude. It announced in practical form to the world the transcen-dent truth of the unalienable sovereignty of the people. It proved that the social compact was no figment of the imagination; but a real, solid, and sacred bond of the so- cial union. From the day of this declaration, the people of North America were no longer the fragment of a distant empire, imploring justice and mercy from an inexorable master in another hemisphere. They were no longer chil-dren appealing in vain to the sympathies of a heartless mother; no longer subjects leaning upon the shattered col-umns of royal promises, and invoking the faith of parch-ment to secure their rights. They were a nation, asserting as of right, and maintaining by war, its own existence. A nation was born in a day.“That a new civilization had come, a new spirit had arisen on this side of the Atlantic more advanced and more developed in its regard for the rights of the individual than that which characterized the Old World. Life in a new and open country had aspirations which could not be realized in any subordinate position. A separate establishment was ultimately inevitable. It had been decreed by the very laws of human nature. Man everywhere has an unconquerable desire to be the master of his own destiny.”- John Quincy Adams, 1821 Independence important to our ancestors DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, June 27, 2024 - 3 A Full MeAsure Chicken Pies, Desserts, And More! — TWO LOCATIONS TO SERVE YOU — 643 Wilkesboro St., Mocksville, NC 27028 • (336) 936-9386 1995 NC Hwy. 801 S., Advance, NC 27006 • (336) 998-2364 Homemade Chicken Pie • Gourmet Desserts Gourmet Chicken Salad • Quiches A Healthy Measure Entrees & Desserts and MUCH MORE! 6000 Meadow Brook Mall Court, Suite 201-D, Clemmons, NC(336) 971-9054 www.anewdayacct.com A New Day Accounting Company ADVANCE FAMILY DENTAL DR.

The po-tential weapon has not been found, Hartman said on Mon-day morning.Carter was also served with a warrant for his arrest from Kansas, where he was charged with assault. By Patrick FlanaryNovant Health Three years ago, clin-ical social worker Greg Johnson became Novant Health’s first mental-health counselor to embed in a pri-mary care clinic.Each week at Davie Medical Associates in Mocksville, Johnson sees about 35 adults and teen-agers who might be griev-ing a loved one’s death, or struggling with a career or parental hardship.This specialty care is meant to enhance – not re-place – long-term psychiat-ric treatment during what are often long stretches between available appoint- CWC Custom Cabinetry is Located in the Clemmons Commons, next door to Jersey Mike’s and Harris Teeter.

More than half the country lacks convenient access to mental-health pro-viders, the federal Health Resources & Services Ad-ministration reports.Novant Health primary care clinics are screening for anxiety and depression symptoms during check-ups, and offering some pa-tients onsite counseling.“It’s about providing a good example so they can model what they see in front of them,” said John-son, 63. “I encourage them to breathe and find that in-ner peace, whether that’s spiritually or just getting outside for some fresh air.”Embedding these ther-apies “means that the pa- tient doesn’t need a referral outside of Novant Health to meet with someone who doesn’t have a connection to their history,” said senior physician executive Dr. Ashley Perrott. “We want people to feel better faster.”When Johnson was 8, his father, Thomas Ran-dolph Johnson Jr., was killed while off-duty. He patrolled housing projects for the New York Police Department, and had been targeted by a gang.Johnson’s mother and uncle helped raise him, and a fellow officer of his father took the child under his wing. They went skating, skiing and sailing, anything to keep Johnson engaged and out of trouble. He later joined the Boy Scouts, and was an altar boy. Things were looking up.In high school, Johnson spent many late nights play-ing Monopoly tournaments on the porch with friends. Over time, several began to confide in him. Johnson listened as they opened up about their own struggles with family. Saying those things out loud was unusual in the 1970s, Johnson said.For a long time, espe-cially in the African Amer-ican community, it was, ‘What happens at home stays at home.’ We didn’t share our issues,” John-son said. “That has since changed considerably.”A degree in computer science landed Johnson a job as a financial-control specialist at Citibank in Manhattan. But he wasn’t happy.It was years before John-son found his calling in so- cial work. A minister put him in touch with a group home, where Johnson was encouraged to pursue a hu-man services degree. He earned his master’s in so-cial work, and began work-ing with people with HIV/AIDS. Johnson also offered guidance to men who had committed domestic vio-lence.“I realized that I loved working with people,” Johnson said. “I was in my 30s when I decided I was going to do something in social services.”Johnson moved to North Carolina in search of warm-er weather and a fresh start.He started at a major healthcare organization and contracted with a juvenile detention center, an expe-rience that cemented his interest in entering private practice as a therapist. In 2021, Johnson joined No-vant Health, where he ex-ercises empathetic listening and body language when meeting with patients.“If I see someone agi-tated, I stand next to them rather than in front of them,” he said. “I’m using my gut as my guide. I ini-tially disclose some things about my family and my upbringing. That way they can feel that I’m truly a per-son, and not just somebody who’s going to just take notes while they lay on the couch. I want to have a dia-logue together to help them get to a better place.”Johnson, a father of three, says his grown chil- dren are advancing his passion in their own pro-fessions as counselors, po-litical representatives and attorneys.“My kids are all help-ers,” he said. “I encouraged them to get their education, to be happy, and to serve a purpose.”Johnson’s purpose? Em-powering people to find peace within themselves.“It’s about understand-ing people,” he said. “And that’s what got me into this field: Wanting to know what makes people tick.” Greg Johnson helps patients at Davie Medical Associates with mental health issues.

However, affordable housing for the working class remains a challenge. With your help, I hope to fill that gap! I truly love older homes and would love to: • Restore vacant homes to former beauty • Place permanent memorial to honor family homeplaces • Improve homes and neighborhoods • Maintain the integrity of our rural communities and farmland • Reduce the need for new multi-family construction • Provide affordable housing that people can be proud to live in • Provide jobs for local construction small business • Provide attractive, affordable housing With all the vacant homes in Davie County, we should be able to do this. Together, we can have a positive and meaningful impact in the community. We can change lives! If you know someone (perhaps even you!) that owns a vacant home and would be willing to just chat ~ PLEASE get in touch with me. I would be so grateful. Davie CountyA great place to work and live!

The property extends north from Sanford Avenue along S. Salisbury Street and ends behind Cognition. The property does not include the Chamber, Davie Community Foundation or Cognition buildings. It does include the Energy United Education Center (3102 sqft) and the old Energy United business office (4833 sqft) along with the former sites of Junker’s Mill and the cotton gin. The Town secured a grant that covers the entire purchase price for the property along with additional funds to remodel the Education Center, which will serve as an overflow location for Town board meetings and training center. This was a huge win for our community! The Town’s interest in the property goes back to 2019 when the Town engaged the UNC School of Government Development Finance Initiative to study the 1.34 acre Junker’s Mill site. Energy United decided in 2021 to place the entire 5.08acres on the market, but the purchase price was outside of what the Town was willing to consider. The Town also had serious concerns regarding the condition of the Junker’s Mill and old cotton gin buildings. Energy United ended up demolishing both buildings, but were unable to identify a buyer. The Town began negotiations with Energy United in late 2023 and closed on the property in June 2024. The Board of Commissioners believe that this is a unique opportunity to expand our downtown with facilities / amenities that will be a draw to our community for years to come. We are at the very beginning of the planning process and will consider all ideas in order to determine what will best suit our needs and growing population. In the short term, the Town will lease the fenced in pole yard to Energy United and allow them continued access to the Education Center for training sessions. However we will be seeking input from the public, staff and consultants on the best long term uses for the property.

When reporting an outage, it is necessary to have the closest street address to the light. FOG Alert FATS, OILS AND GREASE ACCUMULATIONS CAN BLOCK YOUR PRIVATE PLUMBING SYSTEM AS WELL AS PUBLIC SEWERS Both residential and business customers can help prevent wastewater overflows by minimizing the amount of FOG disposed of through plumbing drains. Inside a sewer, fats, oils and grease change to a plaster-like consistency and can block the pipes, causing an overflow of untreated wastewater. At home, you can dispose of normal cooking oil and grease by putting it in a container as part of your solid waste rather than through your sink and plumbing drain. Wiping and scraping pots, pans and other utensils before washing them are important steps in proper grease disposal. If your business generates waste grease, fats or oil, you should have a grease interception system that works effectively. A company that recycles fats, oils and grease should regularly clean out the grease trap.

There are so many things going on over the next few months that you would have to work hard to have a moment of boredom. The Davie Community Park kicked off their concert series recently with Diamond Rio. The number of cars in the parking lot reminded me of the football playoff games Davie hosted several years back. For those who didn’t want to attend the large concert, there were also two options downtown with live music on the square and at The Station. The weather was beautiful and all the live music venues were well-attended. Please check the Town of Mocksville Facebook page and the Davie Community Park website for upcoming events and concerts. There will be outdoor movies throughout the summer both downtown and at the Community Park. The downtown Mocksville Fairywalk will be June 22nd which is always a fun event for the kids. Downtown merchants are working hard to ensure the town looks like a scene from the movie Tinkerbell. Downtown Mocksville will also be hosting outdoor concerts both on the quad in front of Restaurant 101 and on West Depot in front of the Phone Place this summer. The 2nd Annual Rotary Mocksfest event will be on August 3rd and will feature some local talent along with food trucks, vendors, and kids’ outdoor activities. Cognition will partner with the Davie County Public Library during Mocksfest to babysit kids at their location on Salisbury Street. Parents can bring canned goods, which will go to A Storehouse for Jesus, as admission to the activities at Cognition. Please come out that day to support Storehouse, Cognition, the Davie County Public Library and the Mocksville Rotary Club. I haven’t even scratched the surface of all the events in Mocksville this summer. There will be activities at the Brock with the Arts Council, Vacation Bible Schools are going on all over the county, and the Davie County Public Library has weekly activities planned for the kids as part of their summer reading initiative. For our young athletes, there are camps, clinics, and games for anyone interested. And don’t forget the Splash Pad at the Davie Community Park. It will definitely cool you off when we hit the high temperatures this summer. William J.

But once a per- son gets sick from food poisoning, the experience is something they don’t soon forget. According to the Cen- ters for Disease Control and Prevention, each year 48 million people get sick from a foodborne illness. The CDC notes that most instances of food poison- ing are infections caused by various bacteria, viruses and parasites. Food safety can prevent many instances of food poisoning, which is one reason why restau- rants must adhere to strict protocols designed to keep customers safe. Routine in- spections by government officials ensure those guide - lines are followed, but what about cooking at home? When cooking at home, the family chef can follow these steps to reduce the risk of foodborne illnesses. • Clean your hands and the surfaces in your kitchen. The CDC notes that germs can not only survive in many places around the kitchen, but also spread throughout the kitchen. Prior to preparing a meal, clean all coun- tertops where you will be dicing, slicing, etc. In addition, before touching any food, wash your hands with soap and water for 20 seconds, and be sure to do so each time you fin- ish working with one food and before working with another. • Rinse fruits and veg- etables. Fruits and vegeta- bles may contain harmful germs that can increase your risk of foodborne illnesses. Salmonella, E. coli and listeria have each been found on fruits and vegetables, and the CDC estimates that a significant percentage of foodborne illnesses can be traced to contaminated produce. Rinse all fruits and veg- etables thoroughly under running water prior to slicing or dicing. • Separate foods. The Food and Drug Adminis- tration advises people to keep raw meat, poultry, seafood, and eggs away from other foods. Keep foods separate in shopping carts, grocery bags and then in the refrigerator up - on arriving home. When preparing dishes that include meat and fresh fruits and vegetables, use separate cutting boards for each raw food. • Cook foods to the cor- rect temperature. Foods are only safe to eat when they reach certain internal temperatures. Recipes typically include this information, and cooks should always follow reci- pes. Food thermometers can be used when cook- ing in the stove or using a grill. A list of foods and their corresponding tem- peratures can be found at www.foodsafety.gov. • Cool foods at the right temperature, too. Cooking foods at the right tempera- ture is vital to food safety, but so is cooling foods at appropriate temperatures. The CDC advises keep- ing refrigerators at 40 F or below. When thawing foods, do so in the refrig- erator in cold water or use the defrost setting on your microwave. Foods should never be thawed on the counter, as bacteria can multiply quickly in the parts of the food that reach room temperature. How to practice food safety at home Metro Creative Connection M any people have grown accus- tomed to host- ing small gatherings for holidays and other impor- tant events. Even family dinners may have been scaled down as personal health and safety has taken precedence in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. For individuals ac- customed to cooking for a crowd, it can take some time to acclimate to cut- ting back on recipes that you might otherwise know by heart. According to The Spruce: Eats, most recipes are geared towards fami- lies of four to six. So if you don’t want a freezer full of leftovers, it’s time to refer back to some gram- mar school math to learn how to divide measure- ments into the proportions needed. • Rely on estimates and your own preferences. While baking requires strict adherence to ingre - dients and measurements, there is more wiggle room in general cooking. That means cutting back ingre- dient ratios can be more of an estimate than a careful calculation. Use your pal- ate to guide cooking, and don’t be afraid to experi- ment with a pinch or two of flavoring if you think the food needs it. • Use small pots and pans. Cooking small amounts of food inside large pots and pans can spread out ingredients and cause them to cook faster or evaporate more quickly. Therefore, as you scale down on ingredient mea- surements, you also can use smaller vessels. • Use a conversion cheat sheet. Certainly you can divide recipe ingredients each and every time you are making a recipe, but you also can keep a handy chart available with com- mon conversions. Know- ing how many tablespoons are in a cup can help when scaling back. This rundown of how many tablespoons and teaspoons are in larger cup measure- ments also can help. • 1 cup = 16 tablespoons • 1⁄2 cup = 8 tablespoons • 3⁄4 cup = 12 tablespoons • Half of 3⁄4 cup = 6 table- spoons • 1⁄2 cup = 8 tablespoons • Half of 1⁄2 cup = 4 table- spoons • 1⁄3 cup = 5 tablespoons + 1 teaspoon • Half of 1⁄3 cup = 2 table- spoons + 2 teaspoons • 1⁄4 cup = 4 tablespoons • Half of 1⁄4 cup = 2 table- spoons • 1⁄8 cup = 2 tablespoons • Half of 1⁄8 cup = 1 table- spoon • 1⁄2 tablespoons = 11⁄2 tea- spoon Learn strategies for cutting meal recipes Metro Creative Connection C hampagne is a vital com- ponent of many special occasions, such as an- niversaries, retirement parties and weddings. Champagne is a sparkling wine from the Champagne re- gion of France, though the term “champagne” is often mistakenly used in reference to any type of bubbly. Champagne is a wine and, like merlot or pinot grigio, it has spe- cific storage and serving temper- atures to ensure top flavor. Ac- cording to ThermoWorks, wines have specific layers of flavor that are most effectively enjoyed when they’re experienced at the proper temperature. In wine, temperature affects alcohol, acid and aromatics. ThermoWorks suggests a temperature of 45 de- grees for champagne. In addition to controlling tem- perature, there are other ways to help ensure champagne reaches the palate in optimal fashion. Grape Escapes, a wine tasting and touring company, says that champagne is already aged prop - erly before being sold, so it does not necessarily benefit from ex- tra aging in the bottle. When kept too long (beyond 10 years for vin- tage cuvées), some effervescence may be lost and the flavor will change. Bottles of champagne should be stored horizontally in a well- chilled environment. They should be kept away from bright or artificial light. Chilling also will help reduce the “pop” and overflow of the bubbly. If you purchase champagne and need to chill it for serving, you can achieve this by either chilling it in the fridge for three hours be- fore serving, or in a Champagne bucket in a mixture of ice and water for 30 minutes. Etiquette experts say it is pref- erable to open a bottle of cham- pagne with a hiss rather than a large pop. To achieve this, chill the champagne and also open the bottle very slowly and with a great deal of control. When the champagne is opened, Daniel Brennan, PR and communications director at Champagne Laurent-Perrier, ad- vises taking your time pouring a little champagne into each glass to allow the bubbles to settle. Then return to the first glass to pour more, helping to make the cham- pagne less likely to froth. Do not tilt the glass like pouring a beer, rather pour the champagne gently down the inside of the glass. The shape of the glass comes down to preference. Traditional coupes look the part, but tulip- shaped flutes will produce more bubbles and help capture the flavor and aromas of the cham- pagne. It’s ideal to drink all of the champagne in a bottle, as it will begin to lose its fizz immediately after opening, yet that isn’t always possible. A specialized cham- pagne stopper will help keep the champagne fresh for up to two days after opening. Aftering the bottle has been opened, refriger- ate it. Do not wash champagne glasses in the dishwasher. Hand wash and allow to drip dry. Soap or fibers from towels can impede bubble formation in the glass during subsequent pourings. The best ways to store and serve champagne Metro Creative Connection Learning how to properly store and serve champagne can enhance special occasions. Metro Creative Connection T he sports landscape changed dramatically in 2020. Professional sports leagues were forced to interrupt and/or delay their seasons, while many amateur athletes, including college and scholastic players, were told their seasons would not take place in 2020. Despite those delays and cancellations, many athletes are competing this fall and winter. And that means fans will likely gather to cheer on their favorite teams. Game day gatherings are a great way to make sports more fun. But they also can compro- mise people’s efforts to eat right, as traditional tailgate fare is not always so healthy. Thankfully, there are ways to eat healthy on gameday without forgoing fun. 1. Learn your calorie counts. Education might be your greatest ally if you want to stay the dietary course on game day. According to the United States Department of Agriculture, popular game day fare like beer and chicken wings are high in calories. Beers vary depending on which type you’re drink- ing, but 12-ounce light beers typically contain around 100 calories apiece. The USDA also notes that a half dozen chicken wings typically come in at just under 700 calories, though that number will increase when dip - ping the wings into blue cheese or ranch dressing or slathering them in barbecue sauce. Under- standing how high in calories these staples can be may compel you to opt for healthier, lighter fare, such as vegetables and wa- ter. 2. Pay attention to how much you’re eating. A 2014 study published in the Journal of the American Medi- cal Association: Internal Medi- cine found that the amount of food people eat while watching something is influenced by what they’re watching. Conducted by researchers at Cornell Univer- sity, the study found that people ate considerably more while watching action-packed enter- tainment than they did while watching more sedate programs like talk shows. Researchers concluded that the action- packed programs distracted peo - ple from how much they were eating. If you want to limit how much you eat while watching the big game, make a conscious effort to track your consump- tion, even making a small snack bag before the game begins and eating only that once it starts. 3. Make your own foods. When you make your own food for game day, you control what you’re putting into your body. Homemade snacks that are low in calories and don’t contain much sugar can help you stay the dietary course more effec- tively than brownies, chips and nachos. Metro Creative Connection Game day can quickly derail diets if fans aren’t mindful of what they eat. But staying the dietary course on game day is easier than sports fans may think. 3 ways to eat healthy onGAME DAY DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, June 27, 2024 - B1Sports By Brian PittsEnterprise Record A look back at Davie sports 50 years ago ... The 1973-74 Davie girls bas-ketball team tied for first place in the regular season, but it couldn’t get out of the first round of the con-ference tournament because No. 1 scorer Nancy Reavis’ absence was too much to overcome. Reavis suffered a bruised knee in the final regular-season game and was sorely missed in a 55-54 loss to North Davidson. After Davie was down 48-42, Deborah Ward’s five-foot shot tied the game at 49. Pam Reavis hit a layup with 15 seconds left to pull Davie with-in 55-54, and North was called for traveling at :12. But Kathy Hutch-ens missed a 25-footer at :05 and the Black Knights were swamped by their fans. Debbie Burton (19 points, 8 rebounds) had a huge game in defeat. P. Reavis had 12 points.

By Brian PittsDavie Enterprise Record A two-man army - Junior Vazquez and Dashel DesNoyers - lifted the Mocksville Junior Le-gion baseball team to an edge-of-your seat 3-2 win over Davidson County on June 17 at Rich Park. One day earlier at Rich Park, however, Mocksville stood little chance in a 7-2 loss to Wilkes County. The visitors led 2-1 after three innings, but they began to pull away in the fourth. Wilkes was simply too good as it outhit Post 174 14-3. Mocksville’s hits came from Joe Barnes, Joakim Rose and Joshua Whitaker, all of whom went 1 for 3. Charlie Young drew two walks. Whitaker did manage to keep Wilkes scoreless in 1.2 innings of relief. Mock 3, Davidson 2The stars of the show against Davidson County were Vazquez, who knocked in every run, and DesNoyers, who went the distance on the mound and averaged 12.4 pitches per inning. It was a feel-good win, es-pecially after dropping three of previous four games. “These guys have been wanting to get better all year,” coach Blake Little said. “We’ve got a lot of tough teams in our division.”Mocksville broke on top in the bottom of the second. Af-ter Luke Foster walked, Westin Vestal roped a double down the third-base line. That brought up Vazquez, who gave Mocksville the lead by chopping a single over the third baseman. DesNoyers put up goose eggs in the first five innings, but Mocks-ville was in trouble when Da-vidson jumped in front 2-1 on a two-out, two-run double in the Jr. Legion rallies for 3-2 win sixth. An error gave Davidson an extra out and played a role in the 2-1 deficit. Mocksville, though, made up for that in its half of the sixth. Davidson helped out with an error on Brayden Carter’s grounder. The second batter of the inning, Rose, singled. Davidson got the next two batters and the promising oppor-tunity rested on the shoulders of Vazquez, who quickly got down 0-2 in the count before he dug deep. Three straight balls were followed by a foul ball. With the count full, he singled down the line and plated the tying and go-ahead runs. It was quite a breakthrough for Vazquez, who came in with 19 at-bats and a low batting average. His finest Legion hour saw him go 2 for 2 with all three RBIs - as well as a walk and two stolen bases. “(In the game-deciding at-bat), there were a couple pickoffs in between there, so the suspense was getting to him a little bit, I think,” Little said. “But he ended up knocking a single down the line.”Now it was up to DesNoyers and the defense to shut the door in the seventh. They did just that, although there was a one-out error that put the tying run on base. A popup to shortstop Barnes and a popup to third baseman Carter ended the night. Rose (2-3, triple) matched Vazquez with two hits. Jesse Wil-lard and Vestal both went 1-3 as both teams finished with six hits. “(Vestal’s) been hitting the ball hard the past few games, just right at dudes,” Little said. “So he finally found holes.”Of course, a big part of the story was DesNoyers, who pitched wonderfully even though it was his first mound start of the season. He tossed 55 of 87 pitches for strikes, did not allow an earned run and lowered his ERA to a tidy 1.57. What an effort for a kid who came in with 6.1 innings under his belt in three relief appearances. “That double (in the sixth) was about the only bad pitch he had all game,” Little said. “He was just dealing. I mean, one bad pitch. At the beginning of the year, we didn’t even suspect he’d be one of our main guys - just kind of a cleanup guy. But he came in and Please See Rallies - Page B4 By Brian PittsEnterprise Record The Mocksville Senior Legion baseball team survived a classic game at Kannapolis on June 18. Since the teams split the first two meetings and the third-game tie-breaker could be critical toward determining two postseason berths from the Southern Division, the 5-3 comeback win felt like a play-off game. “The adrenaline was going the entire game, but we pulled through,” coach Tristan Wyatt said. Pitcher Shawn Sealey battled back from a bumpy first two in-nings. He plunked a batter on his third pitch of the night. He beaned another on his fifth offering. A bloop single plated a run. His 17th pitch hit a batter ... and there were two on with still no outs. He got the next three batters to keep Kannapolis’ first-inning lead at 2-0, but he gave up two hits in the second to fall behind 3-0. Although he would hit five batters, Sealey performed at peak capacity from the third though the end of his 6.2-inning effort. In oth-er words, he just kept on keeping on, this marking his third straight start of at least six innings. He gave up five hits, only walked two and struck out eight. In the third, Sealey struck out back-to-back batters with two runners aboard to keep Mocksville within striking distance at 3-0. That proved to be Kannapolis’ last threat until the seventh. “His goal today was to do in tight on them, and he was a little extra today,” Wyatt said. “It was just like the Randolph game, when he zoned in and won the game 6-2. Today we gave up three (early) runs and he zoned in and came back.”Mocksville’s bats finally came alive in the fifth. Riley Campbell bunted for a hit, Evan Hyde dou-bled on a two-strike pitch and Jacob Fleming lifted a sac fly. A pair of two-out walks loaded the bases, and a new pitcher went to the mound. The reliever plunked Myles Crocker to force in a run that drew Mocksville within 3-2. “I told them we’ve got to work Seniors win is critical Please See Critical - Page B5 Charlie Young is the batter for the Mocksville Junior Legion baseball team.

Sweeping doubles were Tommy Eanes/Ron Overcash, Hal Monsees/Blaine Burton and Scott Haire/Bobby McGhee. When Davie beat South Stokes 6-3, the singles vic-tories belonged to Maxey, John Nicholson, Jordan and Wall. Winning in doubles were Brad Middleton/Nich-olson and Haire/McGhee. Grant’s freshman bas-ketball season was just ridiculous. The 6-foot-4 phenom was named to the All-Northwest team after averaging 15.6 points, 12 rebounds and hitting 61 percent from the floor. The article said: “At the preco-cious age of 14, Grant is already drawing attention and comparison - warranted or not - to N.C. State’s Da-vid Thompson and Rocky Mount’s Phil Ford. No other freshman came close to making All-Northwest.”Andy Rutledge pitched a six-hit shutout and Jeff Barker went 3 for 4 as Da-vie’s baseball team routed South Iredell 8-0 on the road. Barker belted two doubles. Jeff Ward and Rick Dyson had two hits each. With a best-ball score of 138 over 36 holes, Kenny Jordan and Tommy Fleming were the first flight winners in the member-guest tourna-ment at Twin Cedars. Bruce Tuttle and Kent Adams of Boone finished second. The second flight winners were Don Cornatzer/Jack Nich-ols, who tied Bobby Knight/Jerry Shore at 151. In the sudden death playoff, Cor-natzer birdied the first hole to decide first place. In a Davie golf match at Foxwood, Lawhon and McCoy fired 76s. James and Dwiggins shot 79 and 82, respectively. Larry Jones had a day to remember when Davie base-ball beat East Rowan 4-2. Not only did Jones break a 2-2 tie with a sixth-inning homer, he hurled six in-nings. After Jones’ solo shot, Dyson singled home Kim Seaford for an insurance run. Jones, who improved his record to 3-0, was re-lieved by Larry Carter, who earned the save. Davie trailed 2-1 before rallying in the fifth. J. Ward drew a two-out walk and scored on a double by Barker. Eanes, a 5-11, 175-pound quarterback who helped the ‘73 War Eagles to a memo-rable 8-2-1 season, signed a grant-in-aid with Elon College. Elon head coach Red Wilson said: “He is a fine quarterback who is an outstanding passer and a student of the game. With his great leadership ability, we feel he will develop into an outstanding college sig-nal caller.”The Davie boys track team captured the North Piedmont Conference title without breaking a sweat, piling up 174.5 points to runner-up East Rowan’s 126.5. Davie broke two NPC records. The mile re-lay team of Mark McIn-tyre, Russ Spry, Quarles and Anderson turned in a record-setting 3:28.7, and Barry McBride broke the re-cord in the two-mile race at 10:09. Quarles, who paced Davie with 30.5 points, won the 180 low hurdles, and Billy Etchinson, who was second with 30 points, won the broad jump. Tim Austin was first in the mile. Randy McDaniel was named all-conference after leading the Mitchell College baseball team to a banner season. The Davie Truckers soft-ball team won the county tournament at Cooleemee. Its victims were Fork Dis-count, Ken’s Pool Room, Farmington Sports and Ken’s in the championship game. Ricky Allred of the Truckers and Steve Ledford of Ken’s tied for the home run trophy with two bombs each. Ledford was given the award due to having more hits than Allred. Davie’s powerhouse track team just kept rolling along in the North-South Piedmont bi-conference meet, scoring 134 points to claim the 17-team event. Salisbury was second at 107.5. McBride (10:04.1 in two miles) and the mile relay team of McIntyre, Spry, Quarles and Anderson (3:25.5) set meet records. Quarles (triple jump, 120 high hurdles) was a double winner. Austin (mile) and Etchinson (broad jump) had one win each. Paul Ijames, who dou-bled as a pitcher and DH for Catawba, had a remarkable sophomore season while hitting a team-best .353. Davie track capped a leg-endary season by winning the Western North Caroli-na High School Activities Association title. The War Eagles scored 78 points to Salisbury’s 67 as Etchinson broad jumped a meet record 23-7. The other Davie win-ners were Robert Pulliam (low hurdles) and Austin (mile). Craig Seaford and J. Ward were named all-con-ference in baseball. With Dale Ijames hitting an absurd .923 across five games, the Davie Truckers averaged 18.2 runs per game and breezed to first place in the Steve Johnson Benefit Softball Tournament. In the winners’ bracket final, the Truckers blasted Cooleemee Supermarket 25-5. In the championship game, the Truckers exploded for 14 runs in the first inning and handled Bringle’s 17-7. The Truckers hit .546 as a team, including a .783 average by Terry Johnson and a .696 mark by Allred. 50 ...

Biles’s accomplishments are too numerous to men-tion, but the 27-year-old can pad her legacy further by earning one more medal. Should she accomplish that feat, Biles will have earned more Olympic medals than any American gymnast.Daiki Hashimoto: A two-time gold medal winner at the 2020 Sum-mer Olympics in Tokyo, Hashimoto, will be seen as the athlete to beat in men’s gymnastics. Hashimoto is a four-time world champion, and NBC Sports notes three of those titles were earned in 2023.LeBron James: The NBA’s all-time leading scorer is no stranger to the Games, but James has not played on the Olympic stage since 2012. Over the last several years, James made no secret of his desire to return to Olympic com-petition, suggesting this summer’s games will be the last time to see arguably the greatest player of all time compete at this level.Léon Marchand: Born in France in 2002, March-and figures to be the center of attention. Some suggest Marchand could put on a performance not unlike his fellow swimmer Michael Phelps’ efforts in the pool years ago, as the French-man is coached by Bob Bowman at Arizona State. Bowman famously coached Phelps during his time at the University of Michigan and beyond, and swimming fans will be curious to see how the hometown hero Marchand performs in the pools of Paris this summer.Summer McIntosh: The pride of Canada made a name for herself at age 14 during the 2020 Games, where she was the young-est athlete on the Canadian team. McIntosh finished fourth in the 400-meter freestyle in Tokyo, narrow-ly missing a medal in that event but still breaking the Canadian national record. Now a seasoned 17-year-old, McIntosh returns to the Olympic stage this summer.TF248198 B4 - DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, June 27, 2024 Continued From Page B1 just shoved it. We were searching for a guy to start and we were like: ‘Let’s throw Dashel out there.’ Then he comes out strong and gives us a complete game. That was awesome.”Davidson 13, Mock 2The third game in three days was a splash of cold water for Mocksville, which was hammered by Davidson By Brian PittsDavie Enterprise Record The Mocksville Junior Legion baseball team pulled off the impossible against West Rowan at Rich Park, erasing a 9-3 deficit in the bottom of the seventh and winning 10-9 on Jesse Wil-lard’s walk-off hit. “That’s more than we’ve scored in an inning by far,” coach Blake Little said. Kann 5, Mock 2Yes, Kannapolis defeated Mocksville for the third time in as many meetings on June 19 at Rich Park, but this one felt different. Kannapolis over-whelmed Mocksville 11-1 and 8-0 in the earlier matchups. Thanks mainly to pitcher Joshua Whitaker, this time Mocksville forced Kannapolis to finally break a sweat. Post 174 actually outhit the visitors 7-6. “We had seven hits and a ton of hard-hit balls that didn’t fall,” coach Blake Little said. “We executed with runners on base well and took an extra base when we needed to. We made a couple little mistakes that ended up being the differ-ence in the game, but overall impressive game from us.”Mocksville scratched out a tying run in the bottom of the first. Willard doubled, Dashel DesNoyers singled and Luke Foster walked. Then Willard scored on the front end of a double steal to tie the game at 1. It fought back again in the second. Westin Vestal smacked a double, advanced on a bunt by Junior Vazquez and scored on a wild pitch to make it 2-2. Kannapolis, though, set-tled the issue by scoring twice in the fifth. Still, it was a good effort against a strong opponent. Whitaker did extremely well on the mound, going all seven in-nings and holding Kannap-olis to two earned runs. But then again, Whitaker didn’t do anything Little hadn’t seen him do in other starts. “Josh pitched a great game - only two earned runs against one of the better teams in the area,” Little said. “He’s had one hiccup start this season, but overall he’s been our ace. He’s got a 2.50 ERA over his four starts and three relief ap-pearances.”DesNoyers (2-4) and Vestal (2-3, double) had two hits each to lead the of-fense. Willard (1-3, double), Vazquez (1-2) and Diego Rivadeneyra (1-2, walk) contributed one apiece. Mock 10, WR 9One night later at Rich Park, mind-boggling stuff happened in the seventh inning. It looked bleak after West Rowan scored five in the top of the seventh, but Mocksville somehow found the oomph to override that in its final at-bat. It was a huge pick-me-up moment for a team that had dropped two straight and four of five. West, which trailed 3-0 after the first, broke a 3-3 tie in the fifth and carried a 4-3 lead into the seventh. It scored five times on four hits, two hit batsmen and a walk to take the 9-3 lead, and it appeared Mocksville had completely folded. Not so. In the bottom of the seventh, it went from 9-3 to 9-9 before West could get the first out. How insane is that? The first eight batters of the inning: Dylan Garwood walk, Willard double, Des-Noyers walk, Rivadeneyra infield hit, Foster hit by pitch, Joakim Rose RBI single, Vestal RBI single, Vazquez game-tying infield hit. Rivadeneyra’s infield hit was a “27-hopper to the first baseman,” Little said. “He hit it in a perfect spot and ended up beating it out.”The infield hits for Ves-tal and Vazquez were both fielded by the shortstop. Like they say, sometimes it’s better to be lucky than good. “The shortstop kept (Ves-tal’s grounder) in the infield, but he didn’t have a play,” Little said. “Then he threw it to third base and it go away. “We were hitting it at them. They were either not making a play or it was in a spot where they couldn’t re-ally make a play on it. I will admit they gave us a bunch of those base runners, but we put the ball in play and we earned our half of it.”With the score 9-9, West coach Patrick Hampton intentionally walked Joe Barnes to load the bases. A strikeout kept the game knotted, but there was still only one out when Willard stepped up. He mashed a hit to right-center to walk it off. The 11-batter rally was truly insane - six hits, three walks, one hit batsman. “It was a screamer (by Willard),” Little said. “Off the bat, I knew there was no chance it was getting caught. “It’s crazy. I mean, 9-3 going in and then a sev-en-run inning. Dylan Gar-wood started off the bottom of the seventh with a walk and then he actually made the first out.”Mocksville finished with 13 hits to West’s 10, and Vestal (3-4, double) led the charge. Providing two hits were Willard (2-4, double, walk), Foster (2-3), Rose (2-4) and Vazquez (2-4). Rivadeneyra (1-2) and Gar-wood (1-3, walk) had one apiece. Barnes had two walks. Rose worked 6.1 innings before giving way to Wil-lard, who wound up the winner after recording the final two outs in the top of the seventh. Notes: Mocksville en-tered the week with a 6-11 record. ... Mocksville may have lost Brayden Carter for the rest of the season. He suffered a broken nose on an ugly collision at third base. “Brayden went to tag a guy sliding into third, and his hand came up and hit him in the nose,” Little said. “His cleat actually caught him, too, and busted his lip open.” 7 in 7th: Juniors complete insane comeback Rally ... County on June 18 at Rich Park. Mocksville got outhit 14-3 and three pitchers com-bined to walk seven. One Davidson County player did more than enough damage to decide the outcome, the two-hole batter going 5 for 5 with seven RBIs. The hits for Mocksville (5-10) came from Dylan Garwood (1-2), Carter (1-3) and Rose (1-3). Westin Vestal hustles down the line.

DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, June 27, 2024 - B5 Davie American Little League Player Spot- Sterling Lunde of the minor A’s went 3 for 3 with a double and a triple. He has been a leader play- ing several positions to help his team be successful this season. Dax Nail of the machine pitch Ironbirds recorded his best game as he put the ball in play in both at-bats, going 1 for 2 with a hard-hit infield single and a laser line drive to the pitcher that robbed him of a base hit. Dax was perfect in the outfield, fielding every ball hit to him and making perfect throws to his cutoff man. Annabelle Kramer of the coach pitch Heavy Hitters has been crusing it both in the field and at the plate. She went 4 for 4, hitting two doubles, and has been solid at first base, helping her team make several outs. Annabelle is also a big help to her teammates by let- ting them know where the play is at and always cheering them on. Nolan Gray of the minor Orioles is a player every coach wants. He does everything you ask at 110 percent. Nolan has been consistent all year. In his last game, Nolan was asked to pitch with his team in a jam: bases loaded, no outs. He struck out three straight batters - his first time pitching. Nolan is a tough kid who gives it his all. Continued From Page B1on small ball,” Wyatt said. “Our leadoff batters got some bunts down. Riley had a beautiful bunt down the third-base line. Jay (Brook-shire) had a beautiful bunt as well (in the seventh) in a crucial situation.”Kannapolis took the first meeting 8-3, but Mocksville used a seventh-inning rally to steal the second meeting. It took the rubber match in glorious fashion, overcom-ing a three-run deficit for the second time. The seventh-inning noise started with Fleming be-ing hit by a pitch. On the next pitch, Aundray Russell singled. Then Brookshire dropped a perfect bunt down the third-base line to load the bases with no outs. “I was thinking to my- Critical ... self: ‘Russell is due. He has to be due for something,’” Wyatt said. “I brushed away the bunt because I figured if we can get Russell on, Jay can get the bunt down and we’ll be fine. I rolled the dice and it turned out in my favor. That would have been a good time to lay down a sacrifice because (Russell) has the wheels to run it out, but so does Jay. Either way, it could have worked.”Caden Irvin came through with a game-ty-ing hit. Then Crocker got the job done with a sac fly that plated Russell and put Mocksville ahead 4-3. Ma-son Moxley’s grounder to third resulted in a productive out as the visitors tacked on an insurance run. “(Kannapolis coach) Joe Hubbard tried to argue the slide at second, to no avail,” Wyatt said of the 5-4 field-er’s choice. With two outs and one on in the bottom of the seventh, Sealey issued a walk on a fullcount pitch. That was his 110th pitch and ended his night. Wyatt summoned Crocker, who walked his first batter on five pitches. This was something to behold - 5-3 game, bases loaded, a lot at stake. Crocker delivered, get-ting swing-and-miss strikes on the final two pitches to send Mocksville to 3-1 in the division. “I about dropped to the ground (when Crocker walked the bases loaded),” Wyatt said. “I told him he needed to zone in because we had 2 outs and a 2-run lead. I know you have an adrenaline rush when you don’t want to give up any runs. But just let them hit it and get a groundball, and boy he had the guts. He gave everything he had for the last few strikes. On the last strike, he gave a loud grunt - like all he had.”Brookshire went 2 for 2 with 2 walks. Russell (1-4), Irvin (1-3, walk), Campbell (1-3) and Hyde (1-3, dou- ble) had 1 hit each. Crocker reached twice on HBPs. The hits were 6-5 in Mocksville’s favor. “You can say the ten-sions were extremely high because this was a crucial game for both teams,” Wyatt said. “I told the guys we can finish first if we win. They pulled through. We snuck out of there with a win.”Davidson 8, Mock 3In a non-league game at Davidson County on June 20, Mocksville dug too deep a hole and lost to the Hawgs for the second time. The game was all but settled in the second inning, when Davidson racked up all eight of its runs. The good news: The loss wasn’t harmful, Cooper Whitley went 2 for 3 with two RBIs and Hunter Baldwin (3.1 IP, 1 R) and Fleming (one scoreless inning) pitched effectively in relief. Post 174 got one hit from Brookshire (1-4), Moxley (1-2), Sean Doty (1-1), Sea-ley (1-3), Fleming (1-3) and Will Wands (1-3). Aaron Hutchens reached twice (walk, HBP). Although both teams had 8 hits, Mocksville’s record slipped to 8-9 overall. Coach files protest in loss at Concord By Brian PittsEnterprise Record The Mocksville Senior Legion baseball team was sitting pretty in the Southern Division when it traveled to Concord on June 21. The landscape changed a bit when it suffered a 4-1 upset loss. But coach Tristan Wyatt wasn’t too bothered by the defeat. He’s confident he’ll win a protest. He submitted a protest the following day because Concord added pitcher Gavin Norris to its roster on the day of the game. Norris is a 6-3 righthander who is a rising senior at Mt. Pleasant. The talented arm made it a miserable night for Mocksville’s offense and dropped Post 174 to 3-2 in the Southern Division.But we note again: Wyatt is optimistic the outcome will be reversed. “We protested the game,” Wyatt said. “(Norris) was an illegal pitcher. The deadline is June 25, and that’s four days from today, obviously. But that deadline is for non-conference (games) only. The moment you play your first conference game, that sets and locks. Those 18 men are the only ones that can play for that team. “(Norris) got added and pitched in a conference game. He turned in his pa-perwork today. He was a very impactful player, and that’s why this protest has to go down. That’s why I didn’t really have much of a reaction to the game. I just let it play. I told the boys at the end about it.”Concord jumped to a 2-0 lead in the first. Mocksville cut the margin in half in the fifth, when Aundray Russell walked, stole second, took third on a throwing error and scored on a wild pitch. Undaunted, Concord struck for two in the fifth to build the 4-1 cushion. Mocksville did not threaten in the final two innings, finishing with just four hits against Norris, who walked two, struck out 10 and did not allow an earned run. Riley Campbell took the loss, but he was pretty doggone good in a complete game. He spun a three-hit-ter, walked one and fanned 11. All four runs off the lefthander were unearned. “Riley did really well,” Wyatt said. “It was like the scenario at Kannapolis - we had a couple errors at the beginning and that’s why they went up 2-0. Riley got down and I told him to just be himself. Then he settled in.”There were only seven hits in a game that was all about the men on the mound. Caden Irvin (2-2) had half of Mocksville’s hits. Aaron Hutchens (1-3) and Russell (1-2, walk) had one each. If the 4-1 score stands, Mocksville will fall to 8-10 overall and 3-2 in the divi-sion. This was its fourth loss in five games.

Suicide is a serious public health problem that can have long-lasting ef-fects on individuals, fami-lies, and communities. Suicide is the second leading cause of death for youth in North Carolina ages 10 to 18, and the third leading cause of death for those ages 19 to 34. Suicide deaths are only part of the problem. More people survive sui-cide attempts than those who die, and they are often seriously injured and need medical care. Suicides are prevent-able, and 90% of people who attempt a suicide and survive do not go on to die by suicide. Suicides can be prevented by recogniz-ing signs and symptoms, learning how to help, and taking steps to provide that help to people of all ages and abilities in need.Davie County is ex-periencing a concerning number of suicides so far in 2024. The usual annual number was reached in less than 6 months. We should all be concerned.About 30% had a de-pressed mood, 67.5 % had a current mental health problem, 36.5 % were in mental health treatment, 21% had a history of sui-cide attempts, 24.1% left a note, and 6% had experi-enced the death of family or friends. If you have a relative, friend or co-worker with similar circumstances, consider taking a suicide prevention course.Any of us can make efforts to prevent more such deaths. Easy, free, less than two-hour train-ings are already available, called QPR Suicide Pre-vention Training. Just as people trained in CPR and the Heimlich Maneuver help save thou-sands of lives each year, people trained in QPR learn how to recognize the warning signs of a suicide crisis and how to question, persuade, and refer some-one to help.We believe that at least one person per family unit should be trained in QPR.In QPR Suicide Pre-vention Training you will learn to:• recognize the warning signs of suicide;• know how to offer hope; and• know how to get help and save a life.Partners Behavioral Health Management offers free community trainings. Free Virtual Training Classes are offered on these dates this summer:• June 27, 2:-4 p.m. on Zoom; and• July 18, 2-4 p.m. on Zoom.To register for ei-ther class, visit https://www.partnersbhm.org/event-calendar-training/. Find the date you are interested in, click on the QPR and a registration form will pop-up. A link will be sent to join the class at the appropriate date and time.Partners offers other courses free of charge to anyone. Our community can also request in-person group trainings to be facil-itated by Partners training staff. The Community Train-ing Catalog with more information is available at: https://www.partner-straining.org/communi-ty-training-catalog/.Finally, if online train-ing is not your prefer-ence, save the date for an in-person QPR Suicide Prevention Training being organized for Tuesday, July 23, at 6 p.m. at the Davie County Public Li-brary’s History Room.Keep an eye out for the details and registration information.
