And I’m using your trail as leverage and a reason to tell our leadership at the county level, hey, Bermuda Run’s got the Blue Heron Trail, and we need to look at connec-tivity within our greenway master plan, which also is brought up in our Comprehensive Master Plan update.”Moore provided an overview of the County’s Comprehensive Recreation Master Plan update along with functions and services offered and some thoughts on what’s ahead, including recom-mendations for the top 10 stra-tegic needs: acceptance of fee simple land donation, contiguous property acquisition, land dedica-tion/fee in lieu of, natural and cul-tural heritage inventory, walkable communities, greenways/trails, daily maintenance and design, programs and classes, private/public partnerships and educating on rural heritage.Then there was a breakdown of capital needs – with estimated price tag of $28 million over 10 years:• 2024-2026: Lake Louise ac-quisition and updates, Northern area land acquisition and master planning, administration office update, adventure recreation addi- By Jeanna WhiteWord Master Media Group There will be a concert Satur-day evening featuring Envision on the grassy area owned by The Town of Mocksville at Sanford Avenue and Salisbury Street.You read that right.The town now owns the prop-erty, 5.08 acres recently pur-chased from EnergyUnited for $1,985,000, paid for by a state grant.

Davie stuck in mediocrity To the editor:One of the most significant challenges for Davie County and its leadership is getting them to consider new ideas and persuade them to consider that there are opportunities for ex-cellence in every facet of Davie County life. As I've discussed planning, zoning, economic develop-ment, and forward-thinking educational ideas over the years, I have realized that many leadership members hold their ways as sacred; they like the perceived power derived from their way and d o not want to change. They don't want to listen for fear that there are, in fact, new possibilities for forward movement towards excellence. For Davie County and its leaders to listen to new and in-novative ways, they, by default, acknowledge that we could be better. For many, our seeming success in many areas of DC life: economic development, a low unemployment rate, edu-cation-Ignite Davie, round-a-bout traffic planning, and con-tinued housing growth, has closed our eyes to the possibility that we could be better, that we should strive for excellence. I think we're good, sort-of, but we're not the best. There is no vision. We do not exude excellence in all we do. Davie County deserves better than what we've gotten and what we're getting with regard to land-use planning. DC lead-ers, you first need to acknowledge that you have made some mistakes and realize there is still time to impact your lack of action positively. Your reliance on zoning as planning is caus-ing terrible harm. Zoning and planning are different. For example, look at the TriWest Industrial Park at Farm-ington Road. Leaders, you messed up. However, striving for excellence by implementing posi-tive planning guidelines for forward movement will afford the creation of a new development standard for mixed-use (industrial, commercial, housing, recreation) projects. The current checkerboard building (like every other spec building along the I-40 corridor, i.e., nothing special) sits empty with great potential (even without sufficient electricity). And, then there is the issue of traffic planning. What were/are you thinking? Why is there no plan for the inner connec-tivity of new and existing streets? Why will the park's traffic be dumped out on US 158 only? It’s easy to blame NCDOT. The first installment of TriWest fails in aesthetics, design character, scale and proportion, community enhancements like walking and biking, and the creation of a positive impact on the health, safety and welfare of the whole community. It fails in striving for community excellence. Those “in charge” of this effort should repent. It would help if you (county commissioners) immediately placed a moratorium on new construction at Tri West until you have thoroughly planned for whole area by exploring the creation of a design, landscaping, recreation amenities (such as walking and bike paths,) and a traffic overlay plan for the development’s future and the surrounding buildings and par-cels. This is called bold, pro-active planning. And with an openness to comprehensively plan this Farmington Road/US158 corridor, there is still time to salvage a project that could address design and aesthetics as it relates to industri-al development, housing, commercial/retail, and recreation. Why would you not explore this? As it currently sits, this solution for TriWest and the 158/Farmington Road corridor needs great improvement. It’s not too late to strive for a more excellent solution.Davie County leadership, your inaction on this, and many other planning, education, and growth issues have lulled you into a state of mediocracy. (Take a look (Mocksville) at 158 and Sain Road; is this DC new definition of planning excel-lence?) I am tired of hearing and seeing a "it’s good enough for DC" mentality encapsulate seemingly all decisions made. Stop leading with a "Band-Aid" reaction to issues and become proactive and creative in your response. Stop hiding behind the tenuous, mediocre success that is found in much of DC. And to all municipalities: there’s always opportunity to strive for excellence. You see, every decision you make not only impacts your electorate, but for those who are outside your jurisdiction. Many of the decisions you make impacts the quality of life for all those inside and outside your mu-nicipality. Leaders of DC, it's time to step up and lead with cour-age and foresight. You were chosen to lead, so lead. All of Davie County deserves better. What's holding you back? For those elected leaders, weren't you elected to represent all of Davie County? It's time to start listening to the innovative and forward-thinking ideas that have been presented to you. These are the ideas that can propel Davie County towards excellence. We need proactive leadership, not just a reactive approach. If you have been elected and are unwilling to be persuaded that you could do more, be more innovative, and bold, then you should resign today. Stop fiddling around with the great opportunity that is found in Davie County. Taking no action is taking action. You are doing something by doing nothing. Start doing something that might upset a status que that is immersed in the lie of mediocrity, which is pervasive in much of the DC mindset. So, to all DC leaders, if you are unwilling to change, move, and explore what excellence looks like in planning, economic development, educating our children, all forms of housing, and overall quality of life, then step aside. Let yourself be persuaded that our current trajectory is not one of excellence but of maintaining the status quo of mediocrity. It's time to acknowledge that we have not realized a far more excellent opportunity for addressing all facets of DC life. The time for change is now. The potential for excellence is still within our reach if we are willing to proceed and be bold. The time for action is now, and there is still time to make a significant change for excellence. It is not too late, Davie County.Let's us begin a fresh discussion on the bright future of excellence we can embrace for all of Davie County.David E Smith, Advance To the editor:It’s a shame the “Ballad of Dollar General” hits so close to home. But to be fair, the hands of the commissioners have been tied by the actions of the previous powers that be, or at least their minions. The zoning, at times, can be “by right,” mean-ing the commissioners cannot deny a particular type of con-struction. This seems to be the case in the US-158 corridor regarding the Sain Road intersection aberration. So where is the control? The planning department, of course (a euphemism since it is obvious that there is a distinct lack of such). Is there a Technical Review Committee (TRC) that assures the existing standards are applied (such as view sheds with berms, etc.). Apparently not. Ever been to Hilton Head? Driving in on the major US route you don’t even see the commercial buildings due to berms and vegetative screening. That’s the gold standard. As pointed out, edifices at the front and side off-sets seem to be the norm now. It’s all about maximizing footprint to the detriment of aesthetics (and saving some deep pocket de-velopers money – the fill required at the Sain Road location would have required more fill – and while I’m at it, if we had a stormwater ordinance, runoff control). So, maybe the parcels aren’t quite as big as they need to be if proper site planning is imposed and thus should not have been allowed. But forget all that, just cram’em in there. The fix is multifaceted. Planning needs to be more stringent, and the 2019 Comprehensive Plan needs a hard re-evaluation, including acknowledgement of the citizens’ preferences which were documented in the Piedmont Triade Council work up. For example, the patent error at Figure 23 concerning “Industrial Opportunity Zones” should be vacated – that’s what allowed the Tri-West monstrosity to be inserted into a Rural Subdivision Corridor (the NC AC 160D zoning violation notwithstanding). And, as part of the oversite, establish a county engineer position to participate in the approval process (i.e., a regis-tered licensed professional – civil engineer - fluent in the re-lated issues such as stormwater, transportation, site develop-ment, planning, etc.). And finally, to make all the above even possible, use the ballot box to change the current 3-2 status quo decision par-adigm.William Vaughan, Mocksville Planners need to increase standards To the editor:I have spent many happy hours in school and community libraries. It makes me sad to see libraries and their staff under assault in recent years.However, I believe the subject matter of banning books has been a smokescreen keeping the real agenda from well- meaning library staff and trustees. It is hard to watch the literature sanctuaries I cherished suffer because of a hidden agenda.As a teacher, all of my teaching units were integrated into high level children’s literature and connected to all subject ar-eas and standards. I read aloud books like “Charlotte’s Web” to K-2 students and cherished watching them hug their own book fair copy they couldn’t read yet. My soul hurts to see suffering instead because of hidden agendas. If we look behind the curtain and examine the real issues, we will discover that LGBTQ is a cover for the real agenda. Well-meaning librarians have expressed their take on some books with gay characters and immediately defended the inclusion of these books. It is up to parents to choose books for their children.One person quoted in this article brought up possible in-crease in suicides if this type book isn’t available. As a parent with a gay child, I feel that overreach is a “dog whistle/guilt trip” designed to make librarians feel guilty about inclusion. This is not the agenda in question.The hidden agenda is actually promoting pedophilia/grooming as acceptable. I have seen some books showing parental grooming, with explicit illustrations. There are also books providing step by step instructions for sexual acts. I have seen parents attempting to read and show these aloud at school board meetings and being denied. What? But it is okay in school and libraries?Don’t take my word about these abhorrent books. Read and research for yourself. There are some YouTube videos showing students reading these books aloud to school boards. They are allowed to do so maybe due to the shock from the adults.I don’t see this as a deliberate move in the Davie County library even though I don’t personally know the library board of trustees. I dothink that having elected county commission-ers choose part of this board is appropriate thereby promising accountability to citizens. I hope the entire group can work together to protect our children.Patricia WilliamsAdvance The real agenda is not banning books I gained a new appreciation for him one day many years ago at a history class at South Davie Middle School. It was a routine assignment for the newspaper, probably going to be boring. The class was having a guest speaker. I love history, especially Davie County history, but hearing someone talk about it can quickly make one’s mind wander. I could only imagine how middle school students would react.There was no need for dread. None at all.The guest speaker, it turned out, was giving away land to every student in the class. Not just any land, but historically significant land.That speaker had purchased an acre of land along Hunting Creek as close to where Squire Boone (Daniel’s father) likely made his homeplace just west of Mocksville near the pres-ent-day US 64. Then he had “honorary” deeds made out for a square inch of that land, and gave each student a deed to their square inch of land.Talk about making a boring subject interesting; he had the attention of every student in the room. Their faces lit up. They began talking amongst themselves. You would have thought he had given them a piece of gold.Their excitment wasn’t just because he had given them a piece of paper making them honorary landowners, but be-cause of his enthusiasm for the history of that site. He exud-ed an excitement. A genuine excitement. A real estate man, a businessman and a family man with no training in teaching had students listening for every next word.He wanted every student to feel that same pride of living where Daniel Boone once roamed - Davie County. And he succeeded. He reeked of pride. Genuine pride. It was trans-ferred to the students.His name was Jerry Swicegood. And he loved Davie County. A genuine love.And why not? He was a product of what he knew was the greatest place on Earth. Jerry Swicegood died last weekend at the age of 81.He greeted everyone with a smile and a handshake. A gen-uine smile. A genuine handshake. He made people feel good about themselves.Stories could go on and on, because, yes, Jerry Swicegood was a character - at times a bigger than life character. It’s no wonder his son went on to be an auctioneer, Jerry was quite the talker himself. And he could go on pretty fast when talking about important things like family, Davie County or one of his businesses. That genuine pride was in him and it had to come out.And while history classes can be boring, so can baseball games. I’ve watched one on TV, went out for dinner, stopped by the grocery store on the way home, and when I arrived back, I had missed like two innings of a nine-inning game. They can go on and on for what seems like forever.Back in the Davie American Legion baseball heyday, it was anything but boring. While the players on the field did their part, the best action was in the stands - behind the micro-phone - manned by one of the men who helped bring Legion baseball back to Mocksville’s Rich Park.The loud speaker was manned by no other than Jerry Swicegood. Harry Caray, Vin Scully and Curt Gowdy had nothing on Jerry Swicegood. In fact, I think someone may have slipped Harry Caray a few Jerry tapes. He was that en-tertaining. He gave the players nicknames. The cadence of his voice was perfect for the old grandstands. All you had to do was turn around and you could see Jerry, on the top row, microphone in hand. He loved promoting those Davie County boys. It was a genuine love - for the players, for the game, for the fans, for the community he called home.Say what you want about Jerry Swicegood, but he was as genuine as they come. What you saw is what you got. What you heard is what you got. He was a man of God, a family man, a businessman. He was good at all three. He was also a man who was always beaming with hometown pride.And yes, Jerry Swicegood also dabbled in local politics, holding positions as a county commissioner and as a mem-ber of the board of education. With that outgoing personality and a genuine love for those he was representing, he was a natural.We need more politicians like Jerry Swicegood. Politi-cians who care about someone other than themselves or their party. Politicians who are genuine.Imagine the state of politics these days if you could believe all candidates were genuinely concerned for you. It would be nice if we felt that any of the candidates have any concerns for us whatsoever.Jerry Swicegood did.

Simply said, I see God ev-erywhere. Who else could have created the beauty that I see every day? In our yard I see vibrant, black speckled, orange tiger lilies that can make your heart sing. The crimson, purple, and hot pink crepe myrtles take their turn as the eye-catching part of the bush, though the rest of the year, their gorgeous wood is the star of the show. White Asian lilies fill the air with the sweetest of perfumes, and the seeds of sunflowers as large as dinner plates, ripen slowly in the sultry summer days of July. Daring bluebirds vie to lower the insect popu-lation against woodpeckers, nuthatches and swallows, while brilliant goldfinches, cardinals and bluejays prefer the buffets provided in feeders across the yard. Soon they will be feasting on the sunflower seeds. And who can forget the sassy zinnias in hues of colors that only look good together in nature?Then, as if that weren’t enough, He gave us achingly blue skies, clouds so puffy and white they hurt my eyes, then thun-deringly gray clouds that split the sky with blasts of light-ning, so brutal and so glorious. Sun-split clouds with rays of sunlight and showers of rain feed us all the colors of arching rainbows. And then, more subtle, but no less beautiful, moon-lit nights, twinkling stars and, the star-spangled milky way inspire reverence and awe. These are the landscapes of our days, and daily I give thanks for the beauty I am able to experience. But sometimes, I’m given even more. A few weeks ago, we were at the Meth-odist Conference at Lake Junaluska in Western NC. On Sun-day, the visiting choral group stood to perform one last song. As the opening strains of the “Halleluia Chorus” from Han-del’s Messiah filled the conference hall, I could see hundreds of people sitting up a bit straighter and smiling in anticipation. Anyone who has ever sung in a serious choral group, a choir, a school chorus, or a vocal ensemble, or played in an orches-tra or symphonic band has, at some point or another, learned the “Halleluia Chorus,” and the opening notes are enough to make musicians come to attention. The thought, how can I quietly sit and listen to this…I have to sing… passed through my mind and probably every other vocalist’s.And then, and then, the director did the most amazing thing. She turned around and started directing all of us. Her smile said it all. I know you, you musical people out there; I know you have to sing, so go ahead, I give you my permission and my blessing. And sing we did. I don’t know how many hundreds of peo-ple out of the 800ish people in attendance knew their parts, but literally hundreds of voices rose in song, “For the Lord God omnipotent reigneth, Hallelujah, Hallelujah…For ever, and ever, Halleluia, Halleluia…” The director’s vocal group, though small, undoubtedly had the talent to sing without help. They’d proven that throughout the conference. It wasn’t about that, it was about sharing the love of music, the joy that an outstanding piece of composition inspires in the music lover’s ears. Hundreds of voices, regardless of age, gender, ethnicity, or employment status joined together in joy, in cel-ebration, in a shared love of a fantastic experience. Surely a God Moment, an ode to joy. Amen. The NewsBy Gaye HootsI celebrated the Fourth of July with family and a fireworks display from the bridge of Oriental which is visible from my condo. My potassium level is back to normal, and I have add-ed tomatoes back to my diet. Baby Mia is still in the NICU but has frequent episodes and is making small gains. They are slowly decreasing the assisted breathing and have started her baby shots. She has not required any more blood transfusions but continues to have episodes of decreased heart rate. We celebrate each tiny gain she makes but Tiffany is still living in NICU with her indefinitely.Larry Vogler had a brief hospital stay and is recovering at home. Bob Potts is declining but choosing to remain at home. Jimmy Carter, the brother of my classmate Travisene Carter Boger, has passed away. He worked with Roy at the realty company for several years and was a good friend.The recent RWG column about travel, by fellow writers, was enjoyable as were the pictures included. My brother, Phil, and I frequented many of these areas for a few years and it brought back good memories.I read the obituary column in the Enterprise and saw sever-al people I had not seen in years were deceased. Susan Mock Atchley’s husband Benny Roger was one of them. I did not know him but grew up and went to school with Susan and am sorry for her loss. Another was Mary Ann Cornatzer Smith. I remember her as the older sister of Margie, who was about my age. The paper stated she was deceased also.The obit I was surprised by was that of Ada Mae Patterson Carter who was 93 years old. I lost touch with her after she moved from Advance, but see she lived a long and fruitful life in the Fork community. Her father was known as Robe Pat-terson, he sold the farm and home at the end of Burton Road to my grandfather three years before my birth. My fondest childhood memories are of life there with my grandparents.The Pattersons then built or bought the house on People’s Creek Road and later moved but kept the house and farm for many years. My dad had a key to the house and permission to use a phone there that was connected to Forsyth County. It required a long-distance call to Forsyth from our phone line and I remember using the phone at their house. I remember Ada Mae as being especially kind and I believe after she mar-ried, she lived in Advance near the building that was Larry Vogler’s shop. I remember visiting her there.The other news article that interested me was one about a program started by the present administration to reduce illegal border crossings. It was mentioned concerning an immigrant charged with rape of a child and released on five hundred dollars bail. The program flies in thirty thousand immigrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela each month at no charge to them and arranges housing, work visas, etc. The state of Texas challenged the legality of the program based on the increased taxes necessary to support this popu-lation unsuccessfully. The program has existed since 2022. These immigrants are legal immigrants with protected rights.There is no doubt this in a more humanitarian way, but it did not mention if there was a vetting process or address the staggering debt incurred by immigration both legal and illegal. I have friends who have applied to become citizens, and this is a cumbersome and expensive process. We have not introduced laws to improve this, yet we turn a blind eye to existing laws to discourage illegal border crossings. Many of the illegals pay thousands of dollars to be transported here. Wouldn’t we be better off charging for legal crossings and vetting, setting up employment programs, and limiting the number to what we can afford without continuing our snow-balling national debt?Meanwhile, life in Oriental is good, my 7-year-old grand asked me when she could retire so I must make retirement look good. EncouragementBy Marie CraigWhen I was 13, growing up in Black Mountain, my family and I were active in a church in town. It was a busy, happy group of people who came together for suppers and events in addition to worship on Sunday mornings.

After graduation, she taught for a decade in the Davie County School system and Forsyth County Schools for a year. Now, as a devoted stay-at-home mom to her 4-year-old son and 1-and-half-year-old twins, she continues to invest her time through com-munity involvement in the community she holds dear to her heart.Lauren serves on the board for Davie County GO Far, a national program designed to help second through fifth grade students develop healthy lifestyle habits while training for a 5K race. She is also involved in the Grimes Parker Basket-ball Camp, named after her beloved grandfather Grimes “Bimmy” Parker, held at Cooleemee Elementary School. Lauren’s family has hosted this camp for the past 12 years and it provides an opportunity for children to learn teamwork, discipline, and sportsmanship all while playing a game they love.Lauren is grateful for her opportunities, including the White-Martin Scholarship she received in 2007, admin-istered through the Davie Community Foundation. “Receiving scholarships helped me get started at ASU. I am very thankful for what I received.” Her advice to high school students is clear: “Apply for these scholarships. It is cer-tainly worth your time and effort because the commu-nity wants to support you in your future education.” Lauren anticipates re-turning to her teaching pro-fession once her twins enter kindergarten and is excited for her own children to ex-perience the Davie County School system. This is the first in a se-ries of articles about for-mer scholarship recipients through the Davie Commu-nity Foundation. Lauren Parker as a Davie High student in 2007; and more recently with husband Greg Brooks and their children. Where are they now? Scholar urges students to apply for scholarships Property ... pedestrian-friendly destina-tion for town residents and out-of-town visitors, Gamble said. Back then, respondents to a community survey in-dicated that their top four priorities were reusing old buildings, downtown devel-opment, housing develop-ment, and parks and recre-ation. Per the town’s compre-hensive plan, some potential uses for the property include:• an indoor event center;• farmer’s market;• a public art gallery and theater;• second- and third-story apartments; and• new townhomes and live-work units.“The Energy United par-cel makes up a large portion of our Downtown Mocks-ville footprint. It is rare for a municipality to have the opportunity to control the development of this much vacant land in the downtown area,” Mocksville Mayor Will Marklin said. “We look forward to hearing our citi-zens' ideas for future devel-opment and working with a consultant who specializes in attracting private developers. Through conservative fiscal planning and a strong vision for the future - the town lead-ers have been able to plant this seed that future citizens of our great town will enjoy in the years ahead. “I am looking forward to all the possibilities before us in the town of Mocksville.” Gamble agreed: “The long-term vision for the property will be very inten-tional. We are eager to hear from our valued community members, staff, and consul-tants on the best long-term uses for this property. We will also look at what other communities have done in their downtowns and see if any of those examples res-onate with this acreage and space.”He anticipates that the de-velopment process will take a year or two to determine the best use for the proper-ty. “We want to ensure that the final plans are consistent with the board’s vision for downtown and fit the com-munity's needs.” While the town will de-velop a formal survey and offer public comment op-portunities moving forward, Gamble invites the commu-nity to begin sharing their ideas with him at kgamble@mocksvillenc.gov or by leav-ing a message at 336-753-6701.Envision Here SaturdayBack to Saturday’s con-cert.EnVision will perform from 7-10 p.m. Bring lawn chairs and an appetite.

If the po-sition gets approved, we’re looking at at least three times that salary every year in re-turn because that’s the sole focus – grants, sponsorships and partnerships – and that includes with our local mu-nicipalities, too.” Parks ... And speaking of the Blue Heron Trail, Moore brought up if there was a way of combining forces and lever-aging opportunities for con-nectivity that would benefit the county and the town, he would be open to that.Mayor Mike Brannon reminded Moore that grants are available in the town’s region or at the broader Da-vie County beyond the Win-ston-Salem perimeter of the Transportation Advisory Committee that provides that opportunity for pedestrian pathways to be granted at an 80/20 percent split.“You can go a lot of miles when you have those match-ing funds,” Brannon said.In the manager’s report, Andrew Meadwell offered several updates, including:• The town is still work-ing on the connection at the pedestrian bridge, adding “hopefully we’ll have a path forward soon to get this com-plete.”• The first phase of Ber-muda Run West was com-pleted recently with over 150 types of repairs done. A sec-ond phase will continue over the coming months.• Work is progressing with the Kinderton Village sidewalk repair plan await-ing one more contractor to bid with the hope that the first 13 sections identified by the HOA will be “kicked off” by the end of July.• Discussions have been ongoing with the paving con-tractor on street paving, add-ing, “I think we’ve got price down to a point that’s as far as it can go. It’s not ideal, but it’s the market we are in.” He added he hoped to have something for the council to look at for next week’s agen-da meeting.• Work continues on try-ing to move forward with The Flags at Blue Heron Trail project. “We’re work-ing with the contractor and have a couple of options and designs that he’s getting those prices for” with the hope that council might have something to review at the agenda meeting.

The return address was Oak Knoll. I remember her well; a friendly, happy older woman who wore huge earrings every time I saw her until her ears were stretched. She owned a big two story house that she shared with church members for pot luck suppers, and rented a few of the rooms to board-ers. I remember lots of art work in her home but had no idea about the history of her home and her career until finding an article on the Internet recently. At https://blackmountaininn.com/history/ I found a very interesting article. Mrs. Aleshire’s home is now named Black Mountain Inn and this Website gave the history.

John Avery Helderman Jr.In the wee hours of July 3rd, 2024, our husband, broth-er, father, grandfather, and great grandfather, John Avery Helderman Jr. of Mocksville, took the hands of Jesus and his youngest daughter, Jill Marie, and slipped peacefully into his Savior’s holy presence.John was born on Oct. 3, 1940 in Winston-Salem, NC to John Avery Helderman Sr. and Fran-ces Pegram Helderman. In his life, John graduated with a BS in Business Administration from Guilford College. He was also very adventurous and learned to fly a plane, drove a stock car at Bowman Gray Stadium, and rode motorcycles as part of a group of young men in the late 60s, early 70s. John’s mother often commented that he had “gasoline in his blood” due to these daring activities. John’s career of 30 years though was with Bantam, Dell, Doubleday books where he drove over 4.5 million miles all over the Southeastern US to bookstores helping them order books for their store. He was so successful at his job that he won Man of the Year and was awarded a trip to the Bahamas.John was a 49-year member of the Advance Masonic Lodge and also served as a volunteer firefighter for Cor-natzer-Dulin Fire Department in the 70s and 80s and in the early 2000s for Fork Fire Department. John was of the Methodist faith and was a past member of Dulin Methodist Church and was a current member of Cornatzer Methodist Church where he was active until his health started failing.John loved to travel and in the 70s and 80s he would load his children and then wife, Ruth, into the truck and tow a pull behind camper to many states to show his fam-ily important, historical landmarks. His children always appreciated reading history books and seeing pictures of places he had taken them to. They also went 2 weeks every fall and spring down to Ocracoke to fish where John would feed his family blues and whiting many meals.Later in life with his beloved wife of 32 years, Bec-ki, John would drive their motorhome and travel all over the US, especially loving the areas out west and up north. They went on many adventures “chasing lighthouses” and enjoyed seeing in person many along the east coast.Once traveling longer distances became difficult, John enjoyed spending time as a race official at Bowman Gray Stadium where he waved the flags in the North turn. He befriended many of the drivers there that he had cheered on and watched race there over many years of being a loy-al every Saturday night fan. He often recalled being pres-ent for the first ever races at Bowman Gray Stadium. John also loved watching NASCAR racing on television and attended races in many areas of the Southeast including the Daytona 500 multiple times.John was preceded in death by: his youngest beloved daughter, Jill Marie, in 1988; his father in 1995; and his mother in 2012. He leaves to cherish his memory: his beloved wife of 32 years, Sarah “Becki” Reid Helderman; his sister, Rebecca Boner; his daughter Janet H. Ball (Brad); his son, John Richard Helderman (Jessica); stepdaughter, Jenni Sidden (Justin); grandchildren, Brittannie Jill Lombardo (Bobby), Brooke Marie Albrecht (Travis) Aisulu Skye Ball (Chase), Jacob Winston Helderman, Luke Marshall Helderman, Audrey Marie Helderman, and David Grant Helderman; great-granddaughter, Laikyn Ellarose Albrecht; and neph-ew, Michael Williams (Kristal) and family. He also leaves behind many extended relatives and dear friends as well as his beloved and faithful puppy companion, Rusty.A memorial service for John will be held on Sunday, Aug. 18 at 2 p.m. at Cornatzer Methodist Church with the Rev. Shane Young officiating. The family will receive friends one hour prior to the service. Masonic Rites will be performed after the service. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Cornatzer Methodist Church, the Jill Marie Helderman memorial scholarship fund at N.C. School of the Arts in Winston-Sa-lem, or to one of John’s favorite organizations he loyally supported, FLAG, that teaches school children about the USA flag’s history and importance.

Originally designed as a stagecoach stop, the inn was built circa 1830 and underwent several trans-formations for more than 100 years. At the turn of the 20th century, it operated as Franklin Humanitarian Home (a TB sanatorium) for several years.\\ Notably, in 1940, as the famed Black Mountain College approached its zenith, the property was purchased by Mary Aleshire and Daisey Erb. Mrs. Aleshire was the manager of the Norton Art Gallery in Palm Beach, Florida, and she art-fully restored the historic property. In 1942, the house was opened as the Oak Knoll Art Studio, which served primarily as a summer artist’s retreat for Mrs. Aleshire and her many famous guests; Ernest Hemington, John Steinbeck, Norman Rockwell, Helen Keller, Anne Sullivan, and Joan Sutherland, among them. Wow! I had no idea, or if she shared that with me when I was so young, I don’t remember it. A stage coach stop that now would be such a delight to see! And all those famous people who were one mile from where I was raised. About three miles to the northwest was the short-lived Black Mountain College that attracted famous people as teachers and students. Mrs. Aleshire’s support for me really impresses me now. I hope I’ve encouraged young people in a similar way. We never know how much good we do. I’m also overwhelmed at her support for the arts and the famous people she hosted. 8 - DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, July 18, 2024 *Annual Percentage Yield (APY) eective as of the publication date.

Aloha from paradise This newspaper really gets around ... DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, July 18, 2024 - B1Sports By Brian PittsEnterprise Record Russ Fisher, the 16th coach in the 37-year history of Davie boys soc-cer, is going to try to breathe life into a moribund program. He was hired June 13 to replace Marco Rebollar, who left when he became the new coach at league rival Reagan. “A good friend of mine just got hired as the head coach at West Forsyth, John Blake,” Fisher said. “John told me: ‘Hey, I think you’d be a good fit over there.’ So I applied for it and here we are.” Fisher, 31, grew up in Salisbury, attended high school at East Rowan and played soccer for the Mustangs. He was a part of the marching band at Liberty University. He and wife Madison and their 2-year-old daugh-ter Haisley moved to Advance last September. Russ works for USIC. This is Fisher’s second high school coaching job. He guided the South Rowan boys from 2018-20. He was also the South girls coach during those three years. He knows what it’s like to try to build a program from scratch. The male Raiders went 32-98-6 from 2012-17 and went 6-14-3 in Fisher’s first year in 2018. But they became relevant in 2019, making a huge jump to 13-11 as Fisher earned Rowan County Coach of the Year. “When I got there, there was no chemistry or camaraderie,” Fisher said. “None of the guys hung out outside of soccer; they didn’t really know each other. They really didn’t get along. We brought them together and said: ‘Hey, this is an opportunity for you guys. You’ve got a lot of talent.’ They ran with it. We beat Salisbury that year, which was a huge thing because South hadn’t beaten Salisbury in years.”In the first round of the 2019 playoffs, the Raiders went toe-to-toe with Surry Central before losing 1-0. That drew the curtain on a marvelous senior class. “We lost with 32 seconds left,” Fisher said. “It was an absolute heartbreaker.”South graduated a ton of seniors in 2019, making the 2020 season a brutal task. The starting-over Raid-ers went 1-12-1 in the COVID-short-ened season. “We had 13 seniors (in 2019), so it was a big reset that year,” Fisher said. “And most of the seniors were starters.”Fisher did not coach the past three years but stayed close to the game as a referee. He is well aware that he’s facing a long and hard road at Davie. It has enjoyed two winning seasons since the first year in 1988. The War Eagles have suffered 12 straight losing seasons and they’ve been utterly helpless since 2014, going 18-179-3 over 10 years. Last year they went 1-20 overall and 0-14 in the Central Piedmont Conference. It’s been a long time since a coach has lasted more than three years. Mark McKnight was the coach in 2012. Kenneth Ham (2013-14) and McKnight (2015-16) had two-year stints. Andrew Davis (2017) was the coach for one year. Then Nathan Stephens was at the helm for three years. Jason Clark coached in 2021, followed by Re-bollar in 2022 and 2023. Davie’s all-time record is 179-482-43, and it’s been last in the CPC for 10 straight years. “I think a realistic goal for us is to get out of the bottom of the conference,” Fisher said. “I think we can definitely improve on last year; it can’t really get much worse than last year. From what I’ve seen so far, the big thing is there’s no team culture, which is very similar to what I inherited at South. I definitely want to embrace the fact they all get to be at one high school. Growing up in Rowan County, we had six high schools. But it’s a unique situation at Davie.”Fisher has seen talent in summer workouts, but there’s one big prob-lem: Davie’s varsity will be very young this fall. “The talent is definitely there, but we need to establish more of a team culture and more of a team at-titude,” he said. “We’re very young. I mean, I think we’re going to have close to 30 guys that are freshmen and sophomores. We only have six or seven seniors and we don’t have very many juniors. If we can build something this year, we could be good for a few years with the talent we have coming in.”Fisher actually refereed Davie’s lone victory in 2023, a 2-1 decision over Elkin. “I refereed a game vs. Reagan as well and their game at Reynolds,” he said. “So I’ve definitely seen them in action and I’ve watched a lot of film from last year, just trying to get myself acquainted with the guys.”Fisher wants to build more than a team - he wants to build a soccer family. Summer workouts have been a good first step in that process. “We’ve had close to 30 guys every time,” he said. “We competed in a 6-vs.-6 league this summer at Reynolds. I got to see the boys in a competitive way and doing open workouts at the school. It’s definitely looking better for this year. I think we can grow from last year and kind of learn from our mistakes from last year, especially the upperclassmen. Yeah, I think it’s going to be a good season.”Fisher is expecting around 70 prospects when tryouts begin July 31. “We’ve got 64 guys in our group app right now,” he said. “We have a very big freshman class.”All the coaches from Rebollar’s staff are gone. Fisher’s varsity assis-tant is Julian Delgado. Chris Ferger will be the JV coach. “I coached (Delgado) at South Rowan,” he said. “He’s a great kid. He’s a little younger, but he definite-ly deserves the opportunity and he really knows soccer. He’s Hispanic, a Spanish-speaking person, so that helps me a lot with some of the families who only speak Spanish.”Ferger is a 2020 Davie graduate who played goalie before playing collegiately for Carolina University, a local Division-III school. Fisher named new soccer coach at Davie High By Brian PittsEnterprise Record The Miami Heat wanted Caleb Martin back, but he’s now a 76er. Martin, who became a free agent on June 30, reportedly received a five-year, $65-million offer from the Heat, but he rejected that and wound up signing a four-year deal for $35 million with the Philadelphia 76ers. By Brian PittsEnterprise Record A look back at Davie sports 25 years ago ... In 1999, Victor Patti, Drew Rid-enhour and Davie’s baseball team created a tremendous amount of excitement by winning nailbiter after nailbiter after nailbiter. Under first-year coach Mike Herndon, the War Eagles knocked off Alec Zumwalt and East Forsyth 6-3. Paul Sparks came through with the biggest hit, a two-run single to right-center that gave Davie a 4-2 lead. Brian Grout added 5-2 insur-ance with a home run. Ridenhour went 6.2 innings on the mound and Patti got the save by striking out the last batter with the bases loaded. Most of the credit for Davie’s 5-4 win over North Davidson goes to Patti, a two-way star who held North to one earned run and stroked three hits at the plate, including a homer. Caleb Martin signs with 76ers Sports 25 Years Ago Patti, Ridenhour posted gaudy numbers He could reach up to $40 million with bonuses. “Just certain things didn’t work,” Martin told the Philadelphia media. “There was a lot of things behind the scenes that went on. Ultimately, there was a lot in making that deci-sion. There’s a lot that contributed to how everything went. But past is past, can’t do nothing about that. I’m looking forward to being here and being a part of Philly and trying to bring everything I can in order to try and win a championship. That’s my main focus now.”Martin, 28, spent three years with the Heat. His breakout came in the 2023 playoffs. In the first two rounds, when eighth-seeded Miami took out No. 1 Milwaukee and New York, Martin averaged 10.8 points on 53-percent shooting. He went absolutely nuts in the Eastern Conference finals against Boston, averaging 19.3 points, shooting 60 percent from the floor and scoring 26 in a Game 7 win at Boston. He finished one vote from being named the East Finals MVP. Miami would lose to Denver in the NBA Finals. This year he averaged 10 points, Please See Martin - Page B4 By Brian PittsEnterprise Record Looking back at some memorable moments from the 1987 Mocksville Legion baseball season. The sixth year of the Mocksville American Legion baseball program saw Post 174 pull off a magical comeback in the Southern Division championship series and finish with 27 victories, shattering the record for wins. Mocksville’s coach was Barry Whitlock, who was in his third year at the age of 23. The Southern Division semifi-nal series between Mocksville and Mooresville went the distance, with Game Seven being held at Rich Park. Mocksville would advance, but not before facing a tough chal-lenge. It trailed 5-1 before storming back to win 7-6. On the game’s second pitch, star second baseman J.C. Hendrix was hit in the face by a pitch and taken to the hospital. “We were a little down then,” Whitlock said then. At the end of the fourth inning, when Mooresville held the 5-1 lead, Hendrix returned to the park with seven stitches over his right eye. The dramatic turnaround began soon thereafter. “J.C. had a lot to do with us winning, even though he wasn’t playing,” Whitlock said. “When he came back, he got the guys up and they wanted to win for him.”Mark Wylam’s singled tied the score at 5-5. In the seventh, Bryan Bishop singled off the first base-man’s glove and Todd Wallace scored to give Mocksville a 6-5 lead. It was 6-6 going into the bottom of the ninth. Allen Bruce (3 for 5) and Wallace (4-5) set the table with back-to-back singles. Bob Richard-son laid down a bunt that was thrown into left field, an error that loaded the bases for Bishop. Mooresville star pitcher Alan Nanney walked Bishop on four pitches, forcing in the clinching run, and the home fans went wild. Part of the reason for the huge turnaround could be attributed to pitcher Jack Kimel, who held Mooresville to three hits in the last six innings and also blasted his fourth homer. •••On a rare off night, Whitlock and assistant coach Terry Johnson went frog gigging.

B2 ‑ DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, July 18, 2024 Continued From Page B1After North rallied to tie at 4-4, Da-vie scored the winning run on a balk. Davie senior Jeremy Sink was named Central Piedmont Confer-ence Wrestler of the Year after going 35-5 at 140. Also making all-con-ference from Davie’s first-place team were sophomore Josh Stanley (26-7), junior Brad Pack (37-6), senior Adam Bailey (37-6), senior Nick Summers (28-5), junior Chris Bender (19-11), freshman Patrick Lowery (23-13), freshman Cassidy McMahan (11-11) and senior Kenny White (31-6). Four Davie girls made all-confer-ence in swimming: Meagan Clark, Emma Jakob, Adriene Bridgewater and Kaylyn Smith. The Davie boys also put four on the squad: Mike Gusefski, Brad Clark, Mike Heiny and Jeff Frisby. B. Clark and West Forsyth’s Brad Willard shared swim-mer-of-the-year honors. In basketball, junior Duane Phil-lips was a shoo-in for all-conference after authoring one of the greatest seasons in program history. He av-eraged a jaw-dropping 26.4 points. Two made it from Davie’s girls - sophomore Heather Schleupner (11.8 points per game) and junior Tina Harkness (8.4). Davie girls soccer coach Pete Gustafson raved about junior Elise Whitaker after a win over North Iredell. Whitaker scored two goals and Hannah Woodard had the third one. “She’s doggone aggressive,” Gustafson said of Whitaker. “She was an animal. She is just tough as a corncob. If there’s a 50-50 ball, Elise is either going to get hurt or win the ball. She took a beating and just kept on going.”Davie baseball kept getting 25 ... incredible production from Patti and Ridenhour and the War Eagles made an important statement in a 6-5 win over Mt. Tabor, which had won the past four CPC titles and had beaten Davie five consecutive times. “Everybody picked us to be at the bottom of the cellar, but we showed them what we’ve got,” Ridenhour said after Davie’s fifth straight win. Patti cracked his third homer, moved his batting average to .393 and left with a 1.72 ERA. “He’s just absolutely the man right now,” said Ridenhour, who went 2 for 3 to raise his average to .455. With the score 5-5 in the bottom of the seventh, Patti delivered a walk-off hit and was mobbed by teammates. In a golf meet at Hillcrest, Shawn Brooks was at 1-under through sev-en holes before playing the last two holes in darkness; he settled for a 1-over 37. James Stewart was next for Davie at 40.

The Davie-Salisbury girls bas-ketball teams battled fiercely in 1983-84. Davie won the first meet-ing. Salisbury edged Davie in the next two (42-36 in triple overtime and 38-36). In the fourth meeting, with the North Piedmont Conference Tournament title on the line at Ca-tawba, the laser-focused War Eagles prevailed 41-36, giving coach Bill Peeler his fifth tournament title in six years. “You might say we had a little revenge on our minds,” senior guard Naomi Minwalla said. “There was no way we were going to lose to them three straight times.”Angie Browder (13 points) earned tournament MVP. Minwalla had 11 points and Tammy Pulliam nine. Selena Fowler (12 rebounds) and Kim Ward (10 rebounds) were big factors in Davie’s 38-28 advan-tage on the boards. Browder was named NPC Player of the Year for the second time, made all-conference for the third time and accepted a scholarship offer from UNC-Wilmington. Minwalla was also all-conference for the third time. Fowler and Ward gave Peeler four all-NPC selections. Russell An-derson was the only one who made all-conference for the Davie boys. At Twin Cedars, Bubba Brown and Uly Grisette shot 73s to lead the Davie golf team. Kim Sales and John Matthews carded 80 and 82, respectively. The Davie boys tennis team opened the season with a 9-0 stomp-ing of North Rowan. The singles winners were Darrell Cope, Scott Gantt, Tony Leftwich, Mike Fair-child, Brian York and Craig Smith. Cammie Paige, Rhonda Smith, Melissa Matthews and Leisa Hepler banged two hits each as Davie’s softball team defeated West Forsyth 7-5. Stephanie Miller, Donna Whit-lock and Dawn Brown had two hits apiece in a 4-1 win over Starmount. In a golf meet in Asheboro, Grisette took medalist with a 72 and Davie outscored second-place Asheboro 304-326. Brown shot 73, Matthews 79, Sales 80 and Keith Stiller 81. Leftwich, Fairchild and Matt Denniston came through in singles as Davie tennis edged Salisbury 5-4. Lifting Davie to victory in doubles were Gantt/Leftwich and Denniston/Smith. Whitlock delivered three hits as Davie softball pulled out a 4-3 win over Asheboro. In the second game of the doubleheader, Davie managed an 8-5 win despite only having three hits. M. Matthews, Michele Deal and Brown had the hits for the War Eagles, who took advantage of eight walks. John Johnson’s big offensive night was overshadowed by the Da-vie baseball team’s 9-3 loss to North Davidson. Johnson went 3 for 4 and had all three RBIs. Steve Barnhardt had two hits in defeat. In a Davie girls track meet, Fowler won the shot put (30-11) and the discus (110-5.5). Another double winner was Frankie Chap-lin (5:51.09 in 1600 meters and 12:43.28 in the 3200). Amy Bing-ham won the 800 at 2:44.09. Johnson (14 strikeouts) and Roger Smoot (4 for 4) had stellar performances as Davie baseball topped West Rowan 6-3. Jerry Rid-dle and Mark Robertson contributed two hits each. The winners in a Davie boys track meet were Chris Jacobs (46-3 shot put) and James Hollis (5-10 high jump). In another meet, Davie’s three winners were Robert Jones (20 feet long jump), Jacobs (118-10.5 discus) and John Bullins (2:08.50 in the 800). UNC Greensboro junior short-stop Angela Riddle was named honorable mention for the All-Dixie Conference team. Davie baseball thumped Lexing-ton 11-4. Let’s give it up to pitcher Tony Tatum (10 Ks) and Riddle, who produced three hits and three RBIs. Barnhardt and Kirk Edwards had two hits apiece. In a golf meet in Lexington, Brown showed everyone how he can flex his muscles as he turned in a 5-under 67. Grisette, who earned NPC Player of the Year, was next at 70. The War Eagles captured the sec-tional at Piney Point Country Club in Norwood. Davie beat Monroe by six strokes behind Brown (74), Grisette (76), J. Matthews (76) and Sales (81). Jeff Lankford, a sophomore golf-er at N.C. State in 1984, shot 2-over 74 to tie for first in the first round of qualifying for the 84th annual North & South Amateur. Lankford was in a three-way tie for first among 134 players. The event was held at Pinehurst No. 2. After going 12-5 in the regular season, Davie tennis competed in the sectionals in Lexington. In singles, Fairchild and Hal Dyer both went 1-1. Brian York/Darrell Cope went 2-1 in doubles, while Gantt/Leftwich went 1-1. South Davie baseball lost a 13-11 slugfest with Corriher-Lipe even though David Wilson went crazy. He was 4 for 4 with three home runs and five RBIs. Dana Correll also hom-ered. In a 10-5 loss to Corriher-Lipe, Matt Webb and David Rosser both had two hits. In the Tigers’ 5-3 win over Kannapolis, Wilson was at it again, pitching a four-hitter and pro-ducing two hits, including a triple. One of Mike Bethea’s three hits was a home run. Patti enhanced his reputation as Mr. Clutch. He pitched a complete game with 13 strikeouts and delivered a two-run triple in the top of the ninth that provided a 7-4 lead. “He’s something,” Herndon said. Wesley Melton, Sparks, Andrew Daywalt and Patti had two hits each. Riden-hour, who was intentionally walked twice, had one. In another dramatic win, 6-5 at North Davidson, Davie got a huge lift from Melton, who belted a two-run homer in the first and drilled a go-ahead single in the seventh, which started with Davie behind 5-4. Sparks had a home run. For Davie softball, Shannon Handy and Ashlee Sanders were doing incredible things as sopho-mores. In a huge 2-1 win over North Davidson, Handy improved her record to 5-0 and lowered her ERA to 0.43. Sanders played a vital role by knocking in both runs. Davie softball survived an in-tense game with South Stokes, riding Handy’s pitching and clutch hitting from Ember Spillman and Sanders to a 2-1 victory and a 9-1 record. Handy hurled a three-hitter as Davie defeated South in fast-pitch softball for the first time in six tries. Afterward, the War Eagles dumped the water cooler on coach Tammy Reavis. First place in the CPC was on the line when Davie baseball hosted South Stokes. Zeke Earle set the stage for a 4-3 win by hitting a mam-moth two-run homer to center in the fourth and staking Davie to a 4-2 lead. “I had six straight strikeouts the last two games,” Earle said. “But I came out here Sunday and hit about 1,000 balls with Steve Ridenhour.” Ridenhour said: “Zeke hit one to Kip Miller’s.” Ridenhour was on the mound for the showdown. Hern-don could live with his nine walks because he threw a three-hitter with 10 strikeouts to run his record to 4-1. South was 9-0. Davie accelerated its magic-car-pet ride in Clemmons, rallying to beat West Forsyth for the seventh straight time, 4-3. Now Davie was, miraculously, 6-1 in one-run games. Thadd Johnson and Sparks smacked two-run homers. In the bottom of the fifth, West had the bases full with nobody out. Patti got out of the mess unscathed by striking out back-to-back batters and getting a flyout. The torrid Patti went 3 for 4 and pushed his pitching record to 4-0. At Oak Valley, Davie golf shot a sparkling 7-over 151. Stewart led the way at even-par 36. Sophomore Trent Clement, who chipped in for birdie and sank a 50-foot putt for another birdie, shot 37. Andy Boger, Lanny Collet, Brooks and Ryan Knoll had 39s. After spotting South Rowan a 4-1 lead, Davie baseball roared back for a 12-4 win. Ridenhour (4 for 5, 2 doubles, 5 RBIs) and Patti (3 for 5, 2 doubles) continued to pile up gaudy numbers. Ridenhour lifted his aver-age to .484. Patti improved to 5-0 on the mound and raised his batting average to .455. Earle launched his fourth dinger. 40 Years Ago: Johnson struck out 14 www.ourdavie.com Athletes from ‘99: triple jumper Nick Propst, pitchers Drew Ridenhour and Travis Allen and high jumper Kristan Raynor.

But after start-ing 23 of 64 games in 2023-24, Martin is expected to have a starting role in Philly. “You’re always going to wish you can make as much money as you can,” Martin said. “It’s part of the game, it’s part of life. You live and learn. You take risks. Some-times it works, sometimes it doesn’t. But I’m a true be-liever in everything happens for a reason and I feel like I’m here for a reason. One of those reasons, I feel like, is a pathway to try and get to a championship.”Martin has joined one of the strongest rosters in the Eastern Conference. The Sixers went 47-35 last season, but they’re looking for a more - they’re starving for their first NBA title since 1983. “I plan on doing some-thing special,” Martin said. “The last couple years, I’ve been a part of winning. That’s been a main factor for me. They’re putting a great team together. They’ve got a lot of guys with a lot of talent, so I think it should elevate my game in a personal way and as a team I feel like we can do something special.”Meanwhile, twin brother Cody Martin is in the middle of a four-year, $31 million contract that he signed with the Charlotte Hornets in July of 2022. This past season, he averaged 7.5 points, 3.9 rebounds and 3.7 assists, but his past two years have been hampered by injuries. He only played in 28 games in 2023-24, missing 54. Martin ... James makes all-American team The latest in Coy James’ growing list of achievements is making the MaxPreps All-American Team. “It’s something we haven’t seen around here before,” Davie baseball coach Joey Anderson said of the rising senior. “It’s a big deal. I’m trying to work on something to put on his letter jacket. It’s a very big accomplishment. It shows how hard he works. He means a lot not only to our program, but to our community, kind of the same way Whit (Merrifield) does right now. We’ve got Carson Whisenhunt knocking on the door to be at that next level. It’s pretty exciting for Davie County baseball right now.”Golf tournament for Davie wrestling The Davie wrestling program will host a fundraiser golf tournament at Pudding Ridge on Aug. 16 at 2 p.m. The cost is $300 per team.

Johnson wore hip boots and heavy clothing. “I wasn’t as prepared as Terry was,” Whitlock said. “It was the first time for Barry and he really didn’t know what he was doing,” Johnson said. Ever the prankster, Whit-lock pulled a good one when Johnson was knee-deep in the swamp. “I was wading into a swamp and Barry threw a rock at my feet,” Johnson said. “It scared me to death. I thought a snake had me for sure.”They visited three ponds and came away with nine frogs. Unfortunately, they forgot to bring a sack for the captured frogs. “Barry didn’t like using his Montreal Expos shirt to carry the frogs in, but we didn’t have anything else,” Johnson said. “It was so nas-ty that (wife Jane) wouldn’t even wash it.”•••Before the Mooresville series, Mocksville elimi-nated Kannapolis. In one of the games, Kannapolis coach Ken Orbison’s season ended prematurely due to an ugly episode. A Kannapolis runner beat out an infield hit, but first baseman Johnny Riddle tagged him out as the umpire ruled the runner had turned toward second. Or-bison charged umpire Chris Jarrell. Not only did he argue, he grabbed Jarrell’s shirt and shoved him. Orbison was ejected and then suspended for the remainder of the sea-son by Area III Commissioner Neal Davis. Interestingly enough, Rowan County had a breath-taking pitcher with a won-derful name, Brian Boltz. Through 45 innings, he had 94 strikeouts and an 0.20 ERA. At this point, he’d re-corded 14-plus strikeouts in every game. •••Mocksville’s opponent in the Southern Division cham-pionship series was Lexing-ton. Mocksville led the series three games to two and hosted Game Six on a Monday night. The first six and a half innings were horrid for the home side. Lexington had a 13-0 lead with two outs in the bottom of the seventh. Fans began heading for the parking lot and planning a Tuesday trip to Lexington for Game Seven. Then the impossible hap-pened: Mocksville ended up winning 14-13. “A lot of people couldn’t believe it,” Whitlock said. Lexington lefthander Bri-an Huie was cruising along with a shutout before Rich-ardson connected for a two-run homer in the seventh, cutting the margin to 13-2. What happened next is the stuff of legend. In the eighth, Mocksville put up 10 runs. RBIs by Scott Walker, Kimel, Richardson, Bishop and Riddle knocked out Huie, who was relieved by Scott Walser, who was greeted by Ron Sidman’s RBI single that made it 13-9. Shortstop Jay Galloway fielded Walker’s grounder but threw the ball away, allowing two more runs. Then Danny Shore’s hit pulled Mocksville within 13-12. In the inning, Mocksville sent up 15 batters and scored 10 runs, including nine with two outs. “I thought we could win when the score got to 13-7,” Whitlock said. “But when Galloway made the error, I really felt like we could win. Our 2-3-4 batters were coming up in the ninth. What amazed me was that we did it without using power. It was single, single, single. We just kept pecking away.”Mocksville completed the unforgettable comeback in the ninth. Richardson kept Mocksville alive by reaching base with two outs. Hendrix rolled a grounder to first but was called safe on a bang-bang play. Lexington coach Frankie Goss came out to argue, to no avail. A passed ball moved Richardson and Hendrix to second and third. The next batter was Rid-dle, who walked it off with a two-run hit to left-center. It was an unbelievable series for Riddle, who went 12 for 28 with 16 RBIs. The decisive Game Six saw 37 hits (20 by Mocks-ville) and 11 errors (six by Mocksville). Richardson went 4 for 6 with his third postsea-son homer (after hitting zero homers in the regular season). Mocksville got three hits from Hendrix, Shore and Riddle.

Paige O’Connor of the coach pitch Boss Babe’s has been consistent at the plate all year. In her last game, she had 2 huge hits that brought in 2 runs in a close game. At shortstop, she caught a ball hit between short and third and delivered a perfect throw to first. Paige plays with a lot of passion and wants to do everything she can to help her team win. Paxton Lanning of the minors Orioles has been working hard on hitting outside of games and practice, and his work paid off. He played great at catcher. Saxton Brooks has been working hard behind the scenes on pitching, and went to the mound for the first time with no walks and 3 K’s. Paxton and Saxton have been best friends since age 3 and had their best games on the same day.

Our community extends sympathy to the family of Agnes Anderson Wooten, who died at Cadence of Clemmons Memory Care Facility after a few years of declining health. A service celebrating her life was held last Sunday at Clarksbury Methodist. She was laid to rest in the church cemetery beside her beloved Fred, who died November 1980.Bill and Agnes have been supporters of our communi-ty news through the years. Bill's wife was my primary contact for Pleasant View area; after her death, he filled in temporarily until Lucille Beck volunteered. Agnes provided information and photos for our favored "news flashbacks." The support of Bill and Agnes was greatly appreciated.Terry Wayne Dyson is improving, and his stats are getting closer to normal. He had a chemo treatment last week and takes his next treatment July 31. Pray that his treatments will be only monthly. Caleb Williams is enjoying being a teenager as much as possible. Although a transplant is impossible, a doctor in Cincinnati will do the liver resection and re-move lymph nodes depend-ing upon an MRI in August.
