The trustees had recom-mended current vice-chair Khris-ten Mears and Lisa Hartness for the positions, with Doris Short as a third candidate.At the same time, commis-sioners said they are committed to keeping the library a safe place for employees and residents.After a patron started moving - and removing - books they dis-agreed with, the county approved installing an updated security sys-tem. And after a recent attack on the library’s director, the county took more steps, including an in-creased police presence and even more security measures.“We have heard that there is this movement, this agenda, to remove books from the library,” said Mark Jones, chair of the board of commissioners. “We have no commissioner who has requested a book be removed. Mr. Ward and Mr. Mace have never requested a book to be removed. Has Ms. Bivins (Teresa, the board’s last appointment to the trustees) ever requested a book to be removed? No.“This board of commission-ers has done nothing to slow the growth down, to slow down the wonderful things that are going on at the Davie County Public Li-brary. Nothing.”Jones went on to say that com-missioners have publicly stated they are against violence against any county employee.“We have no desire to censor or remove books from the public library,” said county commis-sioner, Brent Shoaf. “If we did, Library trustees OKd Residents voice concerns over county process Please See Library - Page 7 By Mike BarnhardtEnterprise Record They were quick to point their knives in the correct direction.That had cleaning materials at hand.They knew where the bowls, spoons and plates were stored.And with the help of two re-gional chefs, young people at-tending the Davie 4-H “Chef and the Child” program learned the basics of working in a kitchen.

Tell uswhat you think The Literary Corner: Renegade Writer’s Guild Mears set a high standard To the editor:I commend Khristen Mears for her six years of faithful service as a library trustee. During her tenure, she visited the library multiple times each week, attended and volunteered for numerous library events, and advocated consistently and vocally for library staff and for a library free of political ma-nipulation, now and into the future, just as all trustees are expected to do. She sets a high standard for the rest of the board.It is unfathomable to me that, despite the recommendation of the library board, Khristen was not re-appointed to the li-brary board of trustees at the Board of Commissioners’ July 1 meeting, by a 3-2 vote. By any valid reasoning, she would continue to serve as a trustee for another four years. Sadly, for the foreseeable future, we have lost her voice as a trustee; but fortunately, Khristen will continue to speak up for the library staff and mission in our community. Thank you, Khristen, for your invaluable service as a li-brary trustee.Jane S. McAllister, Mocksville To the editor:Looking for ideas on fun activities to do with your chil-dren this summer? Talk to a librarian about the Summer Learning Program.Just read a good book and want to chat with someone about it? Talk to a librarian and exchange ideas on good books and authors.Trying to get started on a research paper and struggling with sources? Ask a librarian for help in navigating the cat-alog.Is your iPad confusing you? Ask for some tech support from a librarian.Wondering where great-grandfather Murray came from? Sit down with a librarian for assistance with family history research.The public library exists to provide resources and services like these and much, much more to our community. Its doors are open to anyone in the community, irrespective of age and any other demographic. That has been the case for decades.Our public library has a long history of innovation and service to our community, from successfully automating our circulation and catalog system, and adding Davie's first pub-lic computing space, to the extensive addition of technology resources, databases, and digitization that has occurred since. Davie County Public Library stepped up along with other early adopters for a state-wide consortial circulation and re-source sharing system, and consortial e-book collections for adults and children. All of these advancements made good business sense, and good service sense. The N.C. Digital Heritage Center and NC Humanities Council worked with Davie County Public Library as a beta tester for new systems and programs. Davie was held up as a role model for the state when it provided space in the li-brary for the Employment Security Commission rep so that job seekers would not have to drive to Winston-Salem to file for benefits and apply for jobs.Thousands of families with children have gratefully tapped into reading and learning programs, inside the library build-ings and around the county, over the years. Some of those children became library pages as teens and some even go on to library school.The library has clearly outlined policies and procedures for how it manages its facilities and collections that are read-ily accessible to anyone with questions.Davie County residents can be proud of how much the lo-cal library offers and how well it serves our community.So, if you have concerns or questions about library collec-tions, services, or management, talk to a librarian. Having reasonable conversations about matters that con-cern you is far more constructive than resorting to harassment or even violence. The library is meant to be a welcoming, safe environment for reading, discovery, and learning. We can all do our part in ensuring it remains that way, including commu-nity leaders, library users, and citizens alike.And by the way, when you talk to that librarian, thank them for what they do.This letter was signed by five Davie residents: Meika Imes, David Joyner, Jane McAllister, Khristen Mears, and Lisa Nielsen Library has history of helping everyone Come and listen to a story, about a store you know so wellCrowded aisles and bursting shelves, as best as we can tellThey’ve built one here, they’ve built one thereHell, they’ve built one everywhere.It’s called the Dollar General, we’re under their business spell. Mesmirized. Captivated. Cheap stuff. China made. Some strange plastic smell. Well the next thing you know, there’s a new one in your hood;You don’t know why, but some will say it’s for your own darn good.You won’t have to travel far, to get that stuff you need;But it’s all just to satisfy, some old rich guy’s greed. It’s Dollar General, you know. They’ll build one anywhere. Metal buildings. Parking lots. Ya’ll come and see us, ya hear? Is the Dollar General our new country store?If so, we need some new rules.The days are gone when each little community had it’s own store, usually, but not always, associated with a gasoline pump and a friendly owner. We’re more mobile than ever; that’s why those country stores closed. That, and the fact that national retail chains began taking over.And Dollar General ... if you don’t have one in your neigh-borhood yet, just wait. It will likely be there soon.It may be a good business plan, but properties occupied by Dollar General are - to put it bluntly - ugly.The new one on US 158 at Sain Road (It’s only a few miles from WalMart for goodness sake (Oh, that struck a nerve, didn’t it, Dollar General?), sits on such a small lot that pass-ersby will mostly just see the side or rear of a metal building. Maybe a parking lot. And maybe a few vehicles.Another new one on US 64 West at NC 901 is way too close to a busy intersection. They promise improvements to the road, but we’ll see. Pundits envision another roundabout with Dollar General having it’s own exit.Some of the most contentious decisions county commis-sioners make are about rezoning. Sometimes for a Dollar General.Maybe they should change their focus - or more impor-tantly, change the rules. Upgrade the types of construction allowed, upgrade buffers, make the designs fit in more with the surrounding communities. Make the store face the road.Just do something.We’re getting too many buildings erected right at the high-way. We need a break.- Mike Barnhardt More about MississippiBy Linda H. BarnetteOne of the prettiest towns in Mississippi is Natchez - set on high bluff overlooking the river and a prominent city during antebellum days. Named for the Natchez Indians, it supposedly had more millionaires than any other city in the United States before the Civil War. After being owned by the French, British, and Spanish, it became part of the U. S. after the Revolutionary War. Natchez was the center of the slave-trading business, and as such, there are many beautiful plantation home. John and I toured some of the most famous, Melrose and Monmouth. While they were beautiful and have been preserved as tourist attractions, we thought of the way of life they represented and felt sad.Natchez was the southernmost end of the old Natchez Trace, a historic forest trail that extends 440 miles from Nash-ville, Tenn. to Natchez and connects the Cumberland, Tennes-see, and Mississippi rivers. The path was originally created by animals, Native Americans, traders, and travelers in the 18th and 19th centuries. Now the path is commemorated by the Natchez Trace Parkway, We traveled it twice, one com-ing from Tennessee and the other one coming from Natchez. Along the road there are still traces of the original trails and taverns. There are also several Indian mounds. An interesting fact about the Trace is that Meriwether Lewis, the Lewis of Lewis and Clark, died at a small inn on the Trace in Tennessee in 1809. Although he had several gunshot wounds, it is not known for sure whether he killed himself or was murdered.One of my favorite places was the home of the writer, Wil-liam Faulker, in Oxford, Mississippi. The house is built in the Greek Revival style and is situated on property now owned and preserved by Old Miss, the university. Faulkner named it Rowan Oak after the rowan tree of Scotland and the live oaks associated with the Deep South. On the day that we toured the house, we were the only visitors. I was most impressed by his old black typewriter sitting on his desk. Ballad of Dollar General FarmsBy: E. BishopAs the song goes “I was born country, and that’s what I’ll always be.” I even have a t-shirt that has ‘Country as Corn-bread’ written on it! Someone told me that I might not want to wear that out in public; I now use it as a nightshirt. That really wouldn’t matter though ‘cause y’all gonna know I’m country as soon as I open my mouth. Let me tell you country is not all bad even though I wanted to get off the farm as fast as I could after high school.What better way to learn lessons about life and respon-sibility than to be raised on a farm. Getting up early after hearing the rooster crowing to go hoe that garden where that Johnsongrass grew like wildfire. Working hard and sweat-ing so much your clothes stuck to you like a glove, pinching worms from the tobacco leaves, gathering eggs, turning the churn to make butter until your little arms felt like they were going to fall off, walking through the cow pasture dodging fresh patties, hearing Mother call the cows home for the eve-ning milking - sooey, sooey, and wondering how they knew it was that time. It really was a blessing to live a life closer to nature, actually seeing the stars at night, watching toads eat bugs or the fireflies flitting around at dusk.Today, it seems as though so many small farms are being taken over by housing developments that it makes me wonder where will our food come from. Will our food taste as good as that first ripe tomato eaten right off the vine? When I saw an ad for the Davidson County Farm Tour recently, the country side of me had to check things out. There were quite a few farms (large and small) open for tours ranging from flowers, livestock, organic gardening, angora rabbits and goats, etc. My love of flowers took us to the Blu’s Farm first where they had live music and all colors of daylilies you could dream up; it was a delight. Another one we visited had angora rabbits and goats which the family used the fur to weave hats and scarves. Both of these were fairly small endeavors but very interesting. Visiting these places made me want to check out our local Davie County farms more.The Davie County Extension office at 642 Wilkesboro St. in Mocksville was a great place to start with Susan Hawkins, the extension agent for agriculture-horticulture, providing a list of many farms in our area that participate in local farmer’s markets; some having farm stands on their own farm; some may even provide a tour with advance notice. Additional-ly, a few provide a venue to help support other local small businesses, creatives and artisans such as the Kennedy Fam-ily Farms (Maker’s Market) which will be open to the public again on August 3rd. Cherry Hill Farms is a favorite of mine since they are very close.Although I’m sure there are many more farms worthy of checking out, this short list is a start if you love buying local farm fresh produce, meats, fruits and flowers - Yellow Bell Farm, Hoover Family Produce Market, Cedar House Farms, Ruby Ridge, Hillcrest Farm as well as the two already men-tioned. Hall’s Berry Farm is a great place to find fresh blue-berries (grown pesticide-free) which have done well this year and should be available through tJuly. The land is what we live on both literally and figuratively. Instead of worrying about housing expansion eating up all the farmland, let’s consider that maybe the farm landscape has just changed. When Ms. Hawkins mentioned this, it made me reconsider that very thought I’ve had for a long time. The large dairy farms and/or small family farms may be a thing of the past; not just anybody can make a living that way now. But, there seems to be enough people willing to take a chance so that our children and grandchildren can see where their food is coming from. So please support these hard working individuals by going to those farmer’s markets, checking out their Facebook pages; Buy Local. Music TherapyBy Stephanie Williams DeanMusic has long been established as comforting. We know music has a calming and healing power that extends to the healthy and the sick. It prompts the parasympathetic nervous system to release endorphins that relieve pain, agitation, and anxiety. Now used in nursing facilities, music therapies are also used in assisted living, and home environments as medi-cal care interventions. Have you ever watched an Alzheimer’s patient come alive when they hear a song and begin to sing? When we are dying, hearing is the last sense to leave our bodies. And that’s because the eardrums continue to vibrate even if a patient is unconscious. As a former nurse, I’ve used bedside ministry for dying friends and seen firsthand how music invokes a sense of calmness and relaxation. Pain, agi-tation, and a sense of loss of control are common occurrences and can be challenging to manage. But music can greatly re-duce our loved ones suffering. Music offers something beyond today’s medications and medical treatments. The therapy of music is a holistic, non-pharmaceutical one that gives us an additional intervention to supplement our traditional medical care. I sat beside my friend Dave, softly singing and playing music during his final days and hours. Afterward, the hospice nurse reflected, “I wish all our patients would die this peace-fully.” And even though both friends, Pete and Mike, were unresponsive, I know they gained a sense of peace from the hymns I sang at their bedsides.Sometimes dying can be a lonely occupation. So many folks have no one and are on home hospice in the days/months leading up to their final days. In Mike’s last month, I took him to hear a little live gospel and country music at the Bo Tyme Jam at the Farmington Center. And oh, how he enjoyed listening to that music. Mike was dying from stage 4 colon cancer at the time, but the event was an outing and music was the instrument of peace and calm for him. So, I strongly believe we can complement traditional med-ical care with a more involved, hands-on approach to sickness and dying. Simply providing music to an ailing friend, or tak-ing someone to listen to music in the months leading up to death, or providing music at the bedside when death is near – all are of value. Music is another tool in our toolbox to help relieve suffering - so let’s not forget to use it. Music has the power to facilitate healing and promote great comfort.

Continued From Page 1I would stand out there with everybody else saying we can’t do that.”Shoaf also took issue with the idea that recommen-dations from the board of trustees always be followed. “No county board should be strictly self perpetuating, especially when the nomina-tion procees may appear to be somewhat arbitrary.”Commissioner Benita Finney said false accusations had been made about her, and that incorrect informa-tion has been distributed “to cause an uproar.”“A healthy board is made up of many different voices and many different opinions. Everybody needs a voice,” Finney said.Finney added that the last library trustee meeting lacked respect for all people attending - including a cer-tain trustee member. “When Ms. Bivins asked a question, some other board members immediately jumped on her and were very aggressive. That’s not a healthy board. We do have to represent all people.”County commissioners Terry Renegar and Richard Poindexter voted against the appointments.“I’ve got no issues with the two gentlemen (Ward and Mace) on the agenda, but I do have a problem with the process. I think it needs to be duly heard, that’s the prob-lem I have,” Reneger said.Poindexter said the tradi-tion of taking recommenda-tions from the trustees has “I’m not sure why some-one of that caliber would be replaced,” Phillips said. “I think she’s a voice we need more of rather than less of on the board, as a mother of children who are using the library. I believe she is need-ed.”N.C. State Universi-ty student Nathan Linville said if the trend continues, books will be removed, es-pecially those that depict the LGBTQ+ lifestyle. It’s sad, because those young people are more likely to commit suicide, he said.“It’s unfair for these kids not to see themselves in the books that they read,” Lin-ville said. “Reading a gay book does not make you gay.”Vanderbilt University stu-dent Hazel Marion said the library needs to be a safe and welcoming place for every-one.“Through books, I have learned about cultures other than my own and ideologies that I had not previously been exposed to,” Marion said. “Without the library, I would not have the respect that I do for people who are different from me.”Kevin Marion also voiced support for Mears. The trust-ees and staff, he said, are best suited to know who would be best as a library trustee. He asked why the recommenda-tions were not chosen, and why the board chose the two they did select.He mentioned the past re-moval of a book without go-ing through proper channels. Serving Winston-Salem, Clemmons, and Surrounding Areas Library ... served the county well. “That system has worked very well over the years and I think that we should continue to consider those brought to us by the trustee board first.”These comments came after nine residents spoke during the public comment period, all expressing fears in the way the county is handling the library nad the trustee appointments.The assault on the direc-tor deserved more attention from the county, Wendy Vernon said. “This is sol-id evidence that the library needs all community leaders to speak up with transparent and bold support for our li-brary and its staff. Our coun-ty needs to see support in a huge way.”Julie Wood is director of a program for the intellectual-ly and developmentally chal-lenged, and those residents use the library regularly, she said. “There are so many skills they can learn there. The poeple at the library are resourceful and kind and make sure no one feels ex-cluded.”People are being op-pressed, she said. “I need to know that my folks are safe. We come there every day.”Julie Whittaker, a former library employee, said there are two ongoing threats: a multi-year assault on library materials and staff, and the appointment of trustee members. She had hoped the county commissioners would have made a state-ment supporting intellectu-al freedom, and said more about protecting employees and patrons.The nominations from the trustees were the right choices; not “political mon-itors” appointed by the coun-ty, Whittaker said. “It needs people who understand or are willing to uphold the mission and values of public libraries - which is charged with serving all members of the public regardless of their personal circumstances, be-liefs, morals and values.”Whittaker personally en-dorsed Mears: “There has never been a better advocate for our library ... for our chil-dren.”Alice Brown, a past li-brary trustee, said there is a movement and worries Da-vie may be headed in that direction. “Today, a flood has come with a movement to ban books for various rea-sons,” she said. “I pray for a congenial and non-partisan board.”Belinda Brewer is a life-long library patron, starting when she learned to read.“I was always allowed to read what I wanted to. I don’t want to be forced not to be able to read something because the library has taken it out. What is the end game? Never have book challenges been on the right side of his-tory.”Marcia Phillips, the li-brary’s history room direc-tor, said she was picked for a similar position in Michigan because - like Mears - she was a mother with school-age children who use the li-brary.

That may soon change, as he learned how to make lasagna, arrange food, and make cookies and ice cream.“Everything has been good, except the tea,” said Gracie Youker. “I like learn-ing new stuff. I learned how to cut stuff correctly.” At home, she likes “making brownies and stuff like that.”Chefs Al Romano and Don McMillan were on hand to give the students point-ers, part of the Chef and the Child program through the Americal Culinary Federa-tion.“This is a way to hone in on some life skills, like cooking,” said Abby Wil-liams, Davie 4-H director. The students learn how to act in a kitchen, how to han-dle and use sometimes sharp implements such as knives. It paired well with the 4-H Farm to Table summer pro-gram, where young people visited a beekeeper and a lo-cal farm. The final day of the Chef and the Child was spent visiting a local restaurant.“Not all of these kids will become chefs, but all of them will eat,” Romano said. “To me, this is a basic life skill.”McMillan told of his trav-els to 64 countries, where he always tasted the local cui-sine.“The best food is not at some fancy restaurant, but at Chefs Don McMillan and Al Romano help Davie young people prepare a fruit display as part of the Chef and the Child Davie 4-H summer program. Chef ... someone’s home,” McMil-lan said. “You can learn how people live. Street foods will tell you a lot about a coun- try.”Both chefs became famil-iar with a kitchen as children.“A lot of memories in-volve home cooking,” Ro- mano said. “When you get older, food can bring back those memories.”“My grandmother made the best peanut butter cook- ies and the best chicken and dumplings,” McMillan said. “I have the recipes and make them, but they’re never the same.” Davie 4-H Director Abby Williams questions the children about kitchen etiquette.

DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, July 11, 2024 - B1Sports 30 Years Ago: Brock and Brack dominate Please See 30 - Page B2 By Brian PittsEnterprise Record Coy James’ stats from the 17U World Wood Bat Association tour-nament in Atlanta are so blindingly awesome that you’ve got to wear shades to look at them. He went 22 for 31, good for a .710 batting average. That’s ludi-crous. Making his 12-game perfor-mance all the more impressive, the Canes were playing in their biggest tournament of the summer. There were 467 teams in the field. “I’ve been lucky and coached a lot of professional guys - Anthony Volpe, Corbin Carroll, Jo Adell, Wyatt Langford, some big-league hitters - and Coy is as advanced as I’ve seen as a hitter in high school ever,” Canes coach Jeff Petty said. “The power is really real, especially with his setup. He doesn’t really have a lot of moving parts in his swing, and how he generates so much power has grabbed a lot of scouts’ attention.”James’ rampage included five doubles, four home runs, 17 runs and 15 RBIs as he shattered the WWBA record for hits. The old mark was 17. His game-by-game numbers: 1 for 2, 4 for 4 with two doubles and a homer, 0 for 3, 1 for 2, 2 for 3 with two homers and four RBIs, 3 for 4, 3 for 3 with four RBIs, 2 for 2, 1 for 2, 1 for 1, 2 for 3, 2 for 2. Wild. “It didn’t matter - offspeed, fast-balls inner part of the plate, outer part of the plate,” Petty said. “If it was over the 17 inches, he was going to punish it. He’s got power to center field, power to right field, he’s got pull-side power. And like I said, he generates all that with not a lot of moving parts in his swing. Usually By Brian PittsEnterprise Record A look back at Davie sports 30 years ago ... The scorching-hot Davie girls basketball team from 1993-94 secured its first regular-season championship in 10 years by blast-ing through South Rowan (62-46), South Stokes (60-46) and Reynolds (88-46). Against South Rowan, the un-stoppable 6-3 center, Maria New-some, amassed 19 points and 14 rebounds. Andrea Gentry had eight points and six assists, while Eliza-beth Greene had eight points. In the 4-A Regional swim meet at the Mecklenburg Aquatic Club, the Davie boys qualified five for the state meet, including three indi-viduals (Mark Beuter, Cam Kofke and Seth Newman). Those three and Bryan McNeil and Ryan Powell would perform in two relays in the state meet. In the Central Piedmont Con-ference Tournament at Davie, the Lady War Eagles pounded North Davidson 66-50 in the semifinals and West Forsyth 58-45 in the final and achieved their second straight 20-win season. Newsome poured in 24 and 20 points in the two games as Davie avenged its only league loss when it toppled West. In the semifinals, Shannon Umberger had 10 points, Carrie Brown nine, Beth Wall eight and Tami Ramsey eight. In the final, Brown and Ramsey had 11 each, while Gentry had eight. Less than 100 athletes across the country were invited to the Na-tional Scholastic Indoor Track and Field Championships at Syracuse University. Davie senior Hamilton Cuthrell was one of them. He had a career best of 10.4 seconds in the 100 meters, but he ran the 55 meters for the first time ever at Syracuse. Hamilton, brother Rufus Cuthrell and Davie coach Cary Powers made the 13-hour drive, and Hamilton did his county proud by finishing 17th at 6.55. “I thought it was fantastic,” Powers said. “Most of those guys had been running since November. Ham’s had three weeks of training.”Eleven Davie wrestlers made all-conference after the War Eagles went 20-0 and took down Riverside in the state dual team final. The team’s biggest star was junior Scotty Spry, who went 36-0 and captured his second straight state title at 119.

None of the games have been close as High Point climbed within one win of eliminating Mocksville. The margins in the first two games were 10 - 10-0 in favor of High Point and a 12-2 romp by Mocksville. Game three was held at Finch Field in High Point on July 5. It was a 2-1 game going into the home half of the fifth. That’s when things went sideways for Aaron Hutchens and Mocksville. The righthander kept his team in con-tention until High Point scored five runs on five hits and a walk. When the dust cleared, it was 7-1.After walking just six batters through 21 innings, Hutchens strug-gled to find the strike zone in this one; he walked six in 4.1. Jay Brook-shire and Hunter Baldwin worked in relief, but neither could slow High Point’s momentum. “I needed Aaron to go as far as he could so I could save our pitching,” coach Tristan Wyatt said. “For the most part, he did his part. He held a 2-1 deficit for a little bit.”High Point pounded out 13 hits and pushed its record to 19-5. It re-ceived a stellar pitching performance from Grayson McDonald, who covered seven innings in 93 pitches. Caden Irvin (2-3, two doubles) accounted for two of Mocksville’s five hits. Mason Moxley (1-3), Bryson Morrison (1-2, walk) and Brookshire (1-3) had one apiece. Hutchens reached twice on hit-by-pitches. Irvin, the No. 1 hitter at .387, extended his hitting streak to six games, but it wasn’t nearly enough to keep Mocksville from stumbling to 11-14. (Moxley is second at .375.)“Once again, we were a 10-man show,” Wyatt said of his thin depth. “It really should have been a lot closer than the final. We had a couple of mishaps that led to their hit parade in the fifth inning.” High Point wins No. 3 By Brian PittsEnterprise Record High Point advanced to the Area III championship series in Game 4 of the first-round series, but at least the Mocksville Legion baseball team went down swinging. After trailing 7-1 at Rich Park on July 6, the game ended with the tying run at second. But Mocksville fell just short, 8-6, losing the series three games to one. “I couldn’t be any more proud to see them fight to the end,” coach Tristan Wyatt said. “We fought back. A lot of people didn’t see us as playoff contenders and we hung in there with maybe the best team.”After four lifeless innings, Mocksville began to make noise in the bottom of the fifth.

Four stalwarts from Davie girls basketball made all-con-ference, including CPC Play-er of the Year Newsome, who averaged 13.8 points and 12 rebounds as a junior. Gentry (8 points, 5 assists) made it for the third time. Ramsey, the team’s No. 2 scorer at 11.4, made it as a sophomore. The fourth was Brown, who fin-ished her career with 900-plus points. The only one to make it from the Davie boys was 6-2 senior Jared Eure, who averaged 12 points a game. Freshmen Sean Boyd and Chris Tomel shot 40s in a Davie golf meet. Senior Jason Tutterow carded 43, while freshman Will Hege and sophomore Joe Harpe had 46s. In the next meet, Davie’s top four players were Boyd (41), Tutterow (45), Jackson Hendricks (46) and Tomel (47). Davie’s 1994 baseball team had two dominant forces on the mound in lefthanders Brock Keene and Brack Beal. Davie outlasted Starmount 4-3 in 10 innings in the sea-son opener, thanks in part to Beal’s two-hit pitching over seven innings. In the 10th, Jack Fowler’s bunt scored Ron Armstrong to tie the game and Chevis Cuthrell’s double off the left-field wall plated pinch-runner Darrell Bryant with the game-winner. Keene came out blazing, striking out 15 and throwing a four-hitter in a win over Statesville. Cuthrell had two of Davie’s five hits. Davie lost 7-3 in 10 in-nings to South Stokes despite an incredible performance by Keene, who struck out 18, spun a four-hitter and left af-ter nine innings. “It’s a shame you can’t get a win for a kid who threw that well,” coach David Hunt said. Jason Lanier and Bryant had two hits each. Beal struck out 11 as Da-vie slipped past Kannapolis 7-6. The Wonders tied it at 6-6 in the top of the seventh, but Davie pulled out the win in the bottom half. Keene singled, and after an error, Armstrong knocked in the winning run. Davie softball picked up a big 5-4 win at South Stokes. The War Eagles, who were 6-0 at this point, roared to a 5-0 lead thanks to Janis Bar-ney’s three-run double. Melissa Agrillo, Dawn Willard and Melanie Stephens scored goals as Davie soccer defeated North Davidson 3-1. In a 4-0 win over South Stokes, the goals came from Umberger, Agrillo, Melissa Wooldridge and Brown. Keene did something awesome every game. In a 6-0 win at South Rowan, he threw a two-hitter with 14 Ks. Thad Cassidy laced four hits, knocked in three runs and raised his average to .349. Oh, and by the way, Keene banged out four hits and lifted his average to .475. Scott Carter manned the rubber and Jonathan Creason and Zach Manning provided two hits apiece as South Da-vie baseball hammered North Davie 11-4. “This is one of the best crops I’ve had,” South coach Grimes Parker said. Mike Porter and Scott Cornatzer had three and two hits, respectively, in defeat. Keene was so relentless he pitched five no-hit innings before settling for a two-hit-ter in Davie’s 6-0 home win over South Stokes. Fowler smacked a two-run double as Davie extended its winning streak to five. Davie baseball swept a doubleheader from North Iredell. In the opener, a 10-0 wipeout, Beal (2-hitter, 11 Ks) was magnificent. On top of that, Beal stroked two hits. Keene remained crazy-hot in all facets as he produced three hits and three RBIs. In an 8-4 victory in game two, younger brother Jansen Keene pitched a five-hitter with seven strike-outs and Fowler hit a home run. Agrillo scored two goals and Davie soccer closed in on a playoff berth with a 7-0 rout over South Rowan. Davie outshot South 48-2. Boyd shot a 40 as Davie became the first CPC golf team to defeat Mt. Tabor. Hendricks followed with a 42 as Davie beat the Spartans by three strokes at Hickory Hill Country Club. Chris Bigenho and Tomel had 45s and Tutte-row shot 46. In a Davie track meet, Cu-threll captured the 400 meters (50.9), 100 meters (11.2) and 200 meters (22.7). James Clement won the long jump (20-8.5) and triple jump (41-7.5). Chad Alexander won the high jump (6-2), 110 hur-dles (15.5) and 300 hurdles (40.6). Other winners were Ben Forrest (37-8.5 shot put) and Kofke (10-6 pole vault). Brack Beal (left) and Brock Keene were dominant forces in 1994. DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, July 11, 2024 ‑ B3 FEEL GOOD.

Elliott Isaman of the minors Blue Jays may be new to DLL this year, but his per- formance doesn’t show it.

When a guy has a lot going on in his swing, there’s more room for error and more room for swing-and-miss. And he just doesn’t have that. It’s a short, compact, simple swing that generates a ton of power.”As if James’ bat isn’t enough, he’s a speed demon on the bases and he plays elite defense at shortstop. “He’s a very good base runner,” Petty said. “He has a good feel. He’s aggressive with a lot of feel for stealing bases. He’s an explosive runner and it really correlates well with his lateral move- ment in playing shortstop. And he’s got arm strength to go with it. The ball goes in his glove. He’s a very good shortstop.”As far as the Canes go, they’re an absolute jugger-naut. In a span of 23 days between Raleigh, West Palm Beach, Fla., and Atlanta, they went 25-4-1, including an 11-1-1, runner-up mark in the WWBA tournament. The massively talented rising senior at Davie ver-bally committed to Ole Miss a while back, but there’s a good chance he’ll never play college baseball. It won’t surprise anyone if he’s picked on day one of the 2025 Major League Draft. “I think he’s a no-doubter called in the first round,” Pet-ty said. “If the bat keeps doing what it’s doing, it wouldn’t shock me if he’s in the first 10 picks. I know that’s a bold prediction, but that’s what I think from the standpoint of the bat.”Enough can’t be said about James. Not only he is on track to be the next big thing out of Davie County, he’s one heck of a kid. “He’s such a good kid,” Petty said. “I had my 6-year-old son on the trip and multi-ple times I saw Coy playing catch with him. He’s a good teammate. He’s engaged. When he’s not up to bat, every single time he was on the railing with me and our hitting coach. So he’s not sit-ting back. He’s on the railing locked into what we’re doing and asking questions. He’s just a baseball rat. He’s a special one.”James is the only Davie player to ever record three .400 seasons. He hit .409 as a freshman, .451 as a soph-omore and .413 as a junior. “I would imagine he doesn’t get pitched to in high school,” Petty said. “With us, there’s no sense in walking (James) because then you’ve got to deal with another guy who is really good.” Community Covenant ChurCh 1446 Sheffield Rd.,Mocksville, NC 27028 Bible Wesleyan, Traditional Music Everyone is warmly welcomed.

After the first two batters got out, five straight reached without getting a hit - there were three walks and two hit batsmen. There was a lightning de-lay after the fifth. When play resumed, Mocksville clawed back some more. Shawn Sealey’s hit knocked in Sean Doty and Riley Campbell scored when Caden Irvin reached on an error. Now it was 7-5. High Point got an insur-ance run in the top of the seventh, but in the bottom half, Mocksville rallied once again. Bryson Morrison was hit by a pitch, Aaron Hutchens walked, and with two outs, Mason Moxley kept his team alive with a single that loaded the bases. Campbell singled to right to make it 8-6. The bases were loaded. A gapper and Mocksville might win in walk-off fashion. But the batter struck out on three pitches and that was that. But the way Mocksville fought til the end provided some comfort to Wyatt. “It was a very tough be-ginning to the game,” Wyatt said. “We had a couple mis-haps. (Starting pitcher Shawn Sealey) was off and on, but he did what he could. “After the rain delay, the boys came out ready to show they’re weren’t just going to lay down. We tried our best. We had a lot of good ABs, a lot of good approaches and High Point helped us a little bit.”High Point (20-5) outhit Mocksville 15-6. Campbell (1-3, two runs, walk), Sealey (1-4, walk), Irvin (1-3), Myles Crocker (1-3, walk), Morri-son (1-2, walk) and Moxley (1-1) had the hits for Post 174. Cooper Bliss reached twice on walks. Sealey (five innings) and Doty (two) did the pitching. Mocksville went from 7-14 in Wyatt’s first year to 11-15 in 2024. While that was a nice jump, he has plenty of concerns as he looks ahead to 2025. “It’s going to be a strug-gle because we’re going to lose a lot of key players,” he said. “We’re going to have to rebuild.”Notes: Mocksville’s .300 hitters were Moxley at .390, Irvin .384, Sealey .319 and Bliss .305. ... The top three in runs were Morrison with 13, Sealey 12 and Campbell 11. ... Irvin had five doubles, while Crocker, Moxley and Aundray Russell had three each. ... Morrison led with two home runs. Bliss, Camp-bell, Crocker and Evan Hyde had one each. ... Morrison had 13 RBIs and Hyde 10. Bliss, Crocker and Irvin had nine each. ... The top three in walks/HBPs were Crocker with 13 and Jay Brookshire and Russell with 12 apiece. ... The stolen base leader was Russell with 10, followed by Brookshire with six. ... On the season, High Point took 5 of 6 from Mocksville, which suffered its fifth straight los-ing season. Short ... By Brian PittsEnterprise Record After getting outscored 31-8 by High Point in the first three meetings, includ-ing 10-0 in game one of the best-of-five playoff series, the Mocksville Legion baseball team gave its home fans plen-ty to cheer on July Fourth and hammered High Point, 12-2, in five innings. What? How?You can credit Riley Campbell, who held the heav-ily-favored opponent to three hits, and Evan Hyde and Coo-per Bliss, who blasted home runs in a nine-run second inning as Mocksville came away with an easy win that evened the series at 1-1. “Honestly, going into today’s game, it was very nerve-wracking because I was not expecting this,” coach Tristan Wyatt said. “Because we were missing six or seven guys, and two of them were unexpected misses. We only had 10 today. I threw a lineup together. I knew they could produce, but I didn’t know they were going to produce like this.”In the bottom of the first, Campbell helped himself with a single, moved around to third and scored on a wild pitch to tie the game at 1. But after scoring just 10 runs across five games and one run over 10 innings, the Mocksville bats really awoke in the second. Jay Brookshire walked, Bliss singled, and on the next pitch, the No. 8 batter in the order, Evan Hyde, left the yard with a rocket to left. The three-run homer was a stunning thing for a hard-luck guy who came in hitting .204 with zero homers in 44 at-bats. “Evan has been due for this,” Wyatt said. “I mean the guy has hit gaps and their guys have run them down. But this was an absolute no-doubter. He’s had some tough luck. He will occasion-ally strike out on offspeed pitches, but he has hit it hard right at people. But this one was a no-doubter.”The next two batters were retired, but Mocksville was far from done. Shawn Sealey, Mason Moxley, Caden Irvin and Bryson Morrison banged consecutive singles and then Brookshire walked for the second time in the inning. The next batter, with the bases full, was No. 7 man Bliss. He homered to left, a grand slam that capped the nine-run bar-rage that included 12 batters, seven hits and two walks. Just like that, Mocksville was rolling 10-1. “I’ve been telling Cooper that his back shoulder drops occasionally and he pops up,” Wyatt said. “But he got a hold of one. It was huge. The best feeling was watching him at By Brian PittsEnterprise Record After standing tall at 5-1 in the Southern Division on June 23, the Mocksville Se-nior Legion baseball team hit a terrible stretch. But fortunately for Post 174, it still managed to finish second in the division and qualify for the four-team playoffs in Area III. When Rowan County vis-ited Rich Park on the final day of regular season on June 29, first place in the division was on the line. Mocksville had a couple things working in its favor - it was at home and it had ace Shawn Sealey on the hill. Mocksville, though, suf-fered a disappointing 16-4 loss in six innings. It was anybody’s game going into the sixth, but the sixth was brutal as Rowan dropped 11 runs on the hosts by sending 15 batters to the plate. Rowan, which won for the 12th time in 15 games since a rocky 2-7 start, improved to 14-10 overall and 6-2 in the division. Mocksville fell to 10-12 and 5-4, taking second despite a three-game slide. Sealey had been amazing, coming in with a 4-1 record and a four-game winning streak in which he had logged at least six innings in each. But he simply didn’t have it on this night, allowing 10 hits and five walks in 5.1 innings. “Shawn tried his best and we had everything lined up pretty well, but he wasn’t on his game that day,” coach Tristan Wyatt said. Mocksville had a promis-ing start. After Rowan struck for two runs in the top of the first, Mocksville imme-diately trumped that. In the bottom half, Sealey, Bryson Morrison, Jacob Fleming and Mason Moxley stunned Rowan starter Brant Graham with four hits as Mocksville jumped ahead 3-2. Mocksville pushed its lead to 4-2 in the second. Sealey singled with two outs, advanced on Caden Irvin’s hit and scored on a wild pitch. “We put a little bit of pres-sure on them because they started warming somebody up in the bullpen,” Wyatt said. It had battered Graham with six hits in the first two innings. Alas, it would not get another hit as Graham recovered in time to work five innings. The good feelings ended in the Rowan fourth, when the visitors unleashed four straight hits to turn Mocks-ville’s 4-2 lead into a 5-4 deficit. Sealey escaped a bases-loaded jam in the fifth, but Graham struck out the side in order in the bottom of the fifth. Then came the brutal sixth. Rowan piled up 11 runs on nine hits, two walks and a hit batsman against Sealey and reliever Riley Campbell. “(Sealey) was walking a few batters, we had a few errors here and there and they just capitalized,” Wyatt said. “That was plain and simple Rowan County baseball. If you give them an inch, they’re going to take a mile.”Sealey went 2 for 3 with two runs. Getting one hit were Irvin (1-3), Morrison (1-2, walk), Fleming (1-3) and Moxley (1-3, two RBIs). Rowan, which finished with 15 hits, beat Mocksville for the second time in five days after dropping the first two meetings this season. Mocksville won 7-6 in eight innings and then 6-4. Rowan won the third meeting 4-2. “The offense was there at the beginning, but I don’t know what happened,” Wy-att said. “After the second inning, we fell into a black hole and couldn’t get any-thing going.”High Point 10, Mocksville 0The tailspin continued in the first game of the playoffs on July 3. High-powered High Point trounced visiting Mocksville in game one of the best-of-five series. This was a matchup of the No. 2 seed from the South-ern Division against the top seed from the Northern Di-vision. The other playoff series matched Rowan against Davidson County. While High Point ran its record to 18-4, Mocksville’s scoreless streak reached nine innings, it was shut out for the first time this season and it matched its longest losing streak (four) of the season. High Point scored in all five of its at-bats while rough-ing up four pitchers. Cruising to the shutout win was Max McGinn, who scattered six hits and did not yield a walk. Cooper Bliss went 2 for 2 to lead Post 174. Irvin and Morrison both went 1-2, and Sealey and Campbell went 1-3. “It could have been a lot closer than it was,” Wyatt said. “We had too many run-ners left on base, and there were little things that could have been handled differently. I believe we could have lost 3- or 4-0. I mean, it shouldn’t have been a blowout like it was.”It was the third blow-out loss to High Point in three meetings. The other two scores were 10-4 and 11-4. Post 174 loses to Rowan and High Point Mocksville produces fireworks on July 4th the end of the game, one of his family members handed him the home-run ball. His smile was just as big then as it was when he hit it.”Mocksville put High Point to bed in the fifth. Hunter Baldwin and Sealey had sin-gles before Moxley walked. Irvin’s single plated two and produced the 10-run mercy rule. Sealey (3-3), Irvin (2-3, three RBIs) and Bliss (2-2, four RBIs) led the 13-hit attack, but everyone did something offensively. Con-tributing one hit each were Campbell (1-4), Moxley (1-3, walk), Morrison (1-3), Brookshire (1-1, two runs, two walks), Hyde (1-3, three RBIs) and Baldwin (1-3). Sealey’s average jumped from .297 to .350. Bliss, who had not homered in 29 at-bats, went from .310 to .354. The dingers from Hyde and Bliss were unexpected for multiple reasons: Mocksville had gone deep just five times in 23 games, it had not enjoyed a two-homer game since Mor-rison blasted two on opening night, and during one stretch Mocksville went 11 games without a long ball. “It’s really good to see these boys have a hit rally like that, especially against a team like this and after a 10-0 loss,” Wyatt said. “It goes to show that anybody can make it to the state tournament. This gives me a lot of faith in my boys.”The offense provided plenty of cushion for Camp-bell, who provided excellent mound work while living on the edge. The lefty walked the first two batters in the second and got out of it unscathed. He walked seven but more than made up for that by throwing a three-hitter. “Riley did excellent on the mound,” Wyatt said. “I was scratching my head at the beginning, but he did exactly what we needed. He zoned in and handled their hitters very, very well. One thing that makes me nervous with him is he does get behind in the count a lot. But he’s a guy that knows how to bounce back. I mean, if he gets down 3-0, he believes he will strike you out. That’s his mentality.”And then: “He struggled with his fastball tonight - it was tailing a lot and that was one reason he was getting behind in counts - but his curveball had the High Point batters on their front foot. He was mixing his curveball and changeup and those were freezing them and causing them to pop up.”While High Point slipped to 18-5, Mocksville improved to 11-13 and snapped its longest losing streak of the season (four). Wyatt loved everything about this game, including the most runs in 13 games and his team’s er-ror-free defense. “(Campbell) felt confident because we made a lot of good plays in the field,” he said. “We had a line-drive shot to Moxley at third. He snagged it out of the air. We had a couple plays in the outfield where (left fielder Baldwin and center fielder Brookshire) ran balls down. It was just an all-around good game.” Regular Hours: M-F 8:30-8 • Sat 8:30-1 • Sun 1:30-5 495 Valley Road • Mocksville • 336-751-2141 www.fosterdrug.com PARTICIPATING PROVIDER Pay at Foster Drug Cash – eCheck – Debit No Payment Fees!

Classes for children age 3-high school will include music, Bible story, crafts, and recreation.Clarksbury Methodist's weekly knitting class is By Betty Etchison WestCana/Pino Correspondent It is so strange how prom-inent families in a commu-nity can disappear in what seems to be a short time. I have lived in Pino for 69 years and many families who were an important part of the fabric of the commu-nity when I moved here, are gone. In some cases, there are descendants with different names. In others, the whole family is here no more. They died or moved away. This hit me hard when I was thinking about the Swing family. Mr. Swing died soon after I moved here, but I heard about all the things he had done. He made the furniture for the Pino Grange Hall. Mrs. Swing, who was always referred to as “Miss Jo Swing” was considered the best Sunday School teachers ever. At Wesley Chapel Unit-ed Methodist, there were Swings, Sheltons, Lay-mons, Wards, Hardings, Dulls, Hawkins, McMahans, Lathams, Dills, Eures, and the list goes on. There were 25-30 people at one time in my Sunday School Class, and now I am the only one alive except 6319 Cook Ave, Suite 208 | Clemmons, NC 27012 336-766-6488 cooleyroofing.com Siding Roofing Windows Local, Trusted, Quality Services Under One Roof • Free Estimates • Over 30 Years Experience Houses, Decks, Driveways Gutter Cleaning, Roof Wash Cana/Pino Getting older can mean fewer friends in the community for Marlene Trivette, my good neighbor, the Collettes who moved to Eaton’s Bap-tist, and Toby Hawkins who moved to Virginia. My father, Everett Etchi-son, who lived to be 90, told me old age can be a lone-some time because all of your friends are gone. I think I agree with him more every day. Friends in the communi-ty are not the only ones who disappear. The same thing happens in families. My only brother died and I have only one sibling. I miss my brother terribly even though I did not get to see him often. At one time, I had 36 Sofley first-cousins. Now I have six. I had eight Etchison cous-ins, and now I have two. All of my aunts and uncles are gone. There were 50 people in my high school class, the Class of 1950, and there are only 7 or 8 still living. All of that does not in-clude close personal friends. Many have died, including Joseph Ferebee, the famous baseball coach at Pheiffer College who I often talked to on Sunday afternoon about the history of Cana. He was one of the only people who could answer Cana questions and who seemed to enjoy those conversations. Now he, and the whole Ferebee family with the exception of some descendants, is gone.I do have one solution. Make friends with young-er people. I have a number of friends who are 15 years younger than I am, and they are good to this old 92 year old as I stumble around. I appreciate these friends for their kindness. Also, develop a hobby. As you have figured out, mine is writing, which I used to hate. This is a hobby which I de-veloped in my old age, and I spend many happy hours writing.
