It has all taken a financial and emotional toll on her family.In addition to a GoFundMe page, the community has organized two fundraisers for Saturday, Sept. 28 to support the family.New Union Church will donate proceeds from its monthly Hot-dog Saturday. The church, at County Line and Sheffield roads, will serve hotdogs from 11 a.m.-2 p.m.New Hope Baptist Church will hold a fish fry beginning at 5 p.m. Located at 149 New Hope Road in Statesville, the $12 plates will include fish, fries, slaw, hushpup-pies, dessert and a drink, eat in or take out. T-shirts will also be for sale.Michele’s husband, Justin, was called to the acci-dent just minutes after it happened. He knew it was bad as he drove up, but said his wife tried to remain in good spirits and crews worked to remove the trees from on top of the vehicle - and her from inside of the vehicle.He praised the emergency teams, including those from Sheffield-Calahaln and William R. Davie fire departments, Davie Rescue Squad, Squad 81, EMS, NCDOT, Joe’s Toe and EnergyUnited. Michele suffered bruises and cuts, third-degree burns on her thighs and a forearm, a broken wrist, and some blood clotting. The worst was neck injuries, including broken and misaligned vertebrae which impacted her spinal cord.Justin said the family is thankful for all of the support from the com-munity, and will post updates when possible on her GoFundMe page. “We are continually blown away by the of support and the prayers that have been lifted for her.

Hartman. “These arests send a clear message that our community will not tolerate illegal sales to minors.”He said the investigation start-ed from community concerns about underage access to tobacco and vaping products.What officers found during undercover buys and on raids at 601 Tobacco and Vape on Yadkin-ville Road in Mocksville and Tan-glewood Tobacco & Vape in the Tanglewood Crossing Shopping Center in Bermuda Run, were By Mike BarnhardtEnterprise Record Everyone can tell there is a major election this year.The politics are everywhere.And while they go hand-in-hand, elections and politics are separate.Gary LeBlanc, chair of the Da-vie County Board of Elections, is disheartened that a recent study shows that 29 percent of likely voters lack total trust in the elec-tion system.He is talking to groups any-where he can about the elections process, how votes are made and counted, who qualifies to vote, when votes are counted, etc. In other words, he wants everyone to understand the election pro- cess is fair in Davie County and in North Carolina.“You have to separate pol-itics from elections,” he said. “Because of social media, which is where many people get their information, they are getting an array of information. People are just not aware of how elections work.”And even when true, that in-formation sometimes leaves out key elements to support one polit-ical ideology or the other. There’s no place for that in elections, LeBlanc said.The board of elections is made up of Democrats and Republi-cans, and when it comes time for them to do anything, including counting votes, representatives from both of the major parties are present. Observers can be allowed, but cannot be privy to private information of individual voters.After every election, the state asks each county to hand count two precincts (Not known in ad-vance.). In Davie County, the fi-nal count remained was the same. Twice. The difference statewide was small, LeBlanc said. In 2020, a candidate with a 401-vote lead remained the winner, with the same vote totals after two re-counts.A study of more than 19 mil-lion votes from 2015-2022 found 674 instances of potential fraud. “It had no impact to any election.”Dead people don’t vote, LeB-lanc said.

The Literary Corner: Renegade Writer’s Guild Children shouldn’t be able to select inappropriate books To the editor:From an early childhood teacher’s perspective, I was thrilled to see Davie County Schools’ Kinder Camp fea-tured front page in the Enterprise Record. The first weeks of kindergarten set the tone for at least the kindergarten year and frequently beyond. Letting the youngest experience the sometimes scary first days without the hustle and noise of older graders is a great step.It’s all about the youngest children.There was another DCS program featured in the paper the same day as Kinder Camp. It was the valuable opportunity for high schoolers to learn trades and have internships in their preferred skill. This program is on the cutting edge to provide what is valuable education option for many young people.It’s all about the oldest students.Having been a novice teacher mentor, I was so pleased to read about the young teacher of the year in Davie County Schools. She is obviously a committed young teacher who has so much to offer the students. I could tell from her color-ful classroom set up appearance that she offered a welcom-ing, child -friendly space. It's all about the teachers of our precious children.But contrast that to the apparent focus recently that seemed to feature concern only for the Davie County Pub-lic Library staff. Law enforcement seems to have met those concerns already. Pertaining to moving books, I wondered if the reception they had been met with had enabled those acts. Since children usually are taken to a public library with a parent, parental involvement shouldn’t be an obstacle. Even if the children are in the public school, parents should have the right to approve/reject reading material available to their child.The focus should be on protecting young children through early teens from inappropriate books being in areas to self select. Imagine your child being exposed to literature with graphic text and illustrations of male/male, female/male, fe-male/female, adult/child sex. The spotlight should be on and for the children and their families’ decisions.Patricia WilliamsAdvance Church ReunionBy Gaye HootsSunday, Sept. 15, was homecoming at Advance United Methodist Church, originally established as Shady Grove Episcopal Church. It began in 1793 when the Cokesbury School was established 17 years after the Revolutionary War. This was the first Methodist-sponsored school in NC. The building still stands on the church grounds but is not used due to needed repairs. The church hopes to renovate the building when funds are available.Sunday’s service was presided over by Rev. Chris Key who introduced the guest speaker Rev. Carsten Bryant. Our soloist was a high school student, Miss Jane Helton who had a beautiful voice. The message as I heard and distilled it was that God welcomed everyone who believed into heaven and that if God turned no one away this would be a good practice for God’s churches.Following the service there was a meal in the fellowship hall. I treasure this as I am only back in Advance a few times a year. The food was delicious and so was the company. I do not always recognize those I have not seen recently and told Jodie Athey there was a man there who reminded me of her brother, Jim Patton. She said, “Gaye, that is Jim!”I came in for the funeral services for Nick Poindexter’s mother and got to attend the church reunion. I also got time with family and friends, including lunch with RWG member Linda Barnette. My graduating class reunion is on the 21 and I am looking forward to our 61st gathering which the Junk-ers have graciously hosted for many years. This is bittersweet because we have lost many classmates. This makes the time more precious for the ones remaining.When in Advance I catch up on medical and dental ap-pointments and get as much time with family and friends as possible. I had lunch with Jane Carter, on another day with Nick’s sister, and later with Kendra. I got to see Faye’s sons and family and have dinner with Jaden, Tiffany, Nick, and his sister, Cass. The time with Jaden is rare due to her school schedule and even rarer is time with Tiffany. She still spends most of her time with Mia in the NICU. The good news is that Mia may be home soon. We are praying this will become a reality and preparing the house for her emergency equipment.My timing for this trip was good because we have had rain in Oriental almost every day since I left. This week I will have lunch with Lorene Markland and Gail Frye and will be going with Janine Roberts to our class reunion. I also dropped by and took Vance Hartley a copy of my book and the library has a copy if you are interested. It contains all the articles I wrote for The Enterprise and the short stories from the books RWG published. My thanks to Marie Benge Craig for making it possible. She compiled the book and submitted it for pub-lishing for this was beyond my skill. September 17, 1924By Marie CraigIn 1924, there were two newspapers in Davie County, The Davie Record for Republicans, and The Mocksville En-terprise for Democrats. They are online at the Davie County Public Library site under the History Room Webpage. It is interesting to read both and to compare.There’s always quar-reling about politics, and especially in this issue. I think we’re all sick of that, so I’ll focus on other things that were in the news 100 years ago.In the Record, there was a big ad for C.C. Sanford and Sons store for men’s warm suits for preparation for colder weather. They were on sale for $15 to $32.50. In Fork News, a family welcomed the arrival of an eleven pound daughter. “There are too many empty houses in Mocksville. This condition will continue until we can secure some new fac-tories, or until the price of rents come down. Low taxes and reasonable rents will do more to build up a town than almost any other agency.” “Mrs. Mamie B. Carter and two small daughters Marylea and Mildred, have moved to Harmony where the girls will en-ter Harmony Farm Life School. [That’s why my dad’s family moved from Traphill to Harmony, about the same time, so that he and his two brothers could attend that school.] “Charlotte, N.C. Approximately 3,000,000 feet of lum-ber has been laid down on the Charlotte speedway grounds. Another 1,000,000 feet will be delivered to the speedway site within the next ten days, making a total of 4,000,000 feet, the footage necessary for the bowl.” “Crawford’s Drug Store: No woman should be without a VACUUM CLEANER and a good supply of O-CEDAR POLISH and MOPS. We have these items and can save you money.” [A drug store selling vacuums? Probably noisy and huge. Had to have electricity. Men weren’t sanctioned to operate them?]Other advertisements were from these Davie stores: Southern Bank & Trust; J.C. Charles Cotton Gin; J.L. Holton & Sons Shoe Repairing; Kurfees & Ward Clothing Store; Mocksville Hardware Company; Davie Supply Company To the editor:Jaletta Desmond, a mother who lost her child due to sui-cide, is an advocate and trained to be a support group facil-itator of "Hope After Suicide Loss." NAMI NW Piedmont, NC is becoming a sponsor of this support group beginning in October, and it will be offered online to folks in our area. Jaletta shared her opinion on how to be considerate when discussing suicide.“I dread it every year: National Suicide Prevention Month. For those who’ve lost a loved one to suicide, every day of September can feel like a slap in the face. They are remind-ed that they didn’t prevent the suicide death of their child, spouse, parent or best friend.“A friend who lost her sister told me: ‘We have (World) AIDS Awareness Month and Breast Cancer Awareness Month, but for suicide we have ‘prevention month’? It’s a disease, so why are you making me feel responsible?’ My friend is one of many struggling with messaging that comes from the effort to reduce suicide deaths, which have been on the rise the last few years. “Suicide loss survivors, as we are called, support preven-tion efforts but language is critical. For example, there’s a movement to stop the use of commit or committed suicide because those words are associated with crimes and sins. My 17-year-old daughter, Jocelyn, didn’t commit a crime or a sin. She died by suicide or killed herself.“A couple of years ago I watched a live televised panel discussion and was appalled when a North Carolina mental health expert said succinctly and without qualifiers: ‘Suicide is preventable.’ I had invited hundreds of suicide loss survi-vors to watch a film and discussion. To these grieving indi-viduals, the state official’s words were likely heard as ‘sui-cide is preventable and you failed.’ As a suicide loss support group facilitator, I felt I’d inadvertently facilitated additional (buying cotton); Cooleemee Laundry & Ice Company; D.H. Hendricks & Sons Building Materials; Horn-Johnstone Com-pany: “That good kind of flour.”; Davie Cafe; Dr. E.C. Cho-ate, dentist; Dr. Robt. Anderson, dentist; Lester P. Martin, physician and surgeon; and B.C. Brock, attorney.There was national news, state news, a list of Republi-can candidates for the election in six weeks (but no Demo-crat list), a full-page continuing story, and an ad where you could ride the train from Mooresville to Atlanta, round trip for $7.50. The movies at the Princess Theater were Tuesday and Wednesday “To Have and to Hold”; Thursday and Friday “The Old Homestead”; and Saturday “On the High Seas.” The first talking movie was “The Jazz Singer” in 1927, so these would have been silent films.Looking at the Mocksville Enterprise for that week shows very similar articles about the election with a list of only Democrats to vote for, advertisers, and patent medicines that could cure anything. The front page had an article that 1,409 stills were destroyed by Federal Prohibition Officers in N.C. the year before. Advertisers not listed in the Record were M.J. Hendricks Concrete Company in Cana; Farmington Cash Store; and Baxter Byerly, M.D., Cooleemee.Both newspapers had an article about a Fiddlers’ Conven-tion at the new school auditorium in Cooleemee with cash prizes for the best musicians. This edition seemed very short. This is an article from the week before; “The new bridge across Bear Creek, at the Glasscock Ford, is now complete and ready for traffic. The people of this community are very thankful to the board of county commissioners for the erection of this much needed bridge.I find reading these old Davie County newspapers very interesting. 1924 was between world wars and a time for changes in transportation, entertainment, and technology. In 1924, each letter of the newspaper would have been hand-set with lead type. What a long procedure that would have been. In compiling this, the typesetter would have seen the mirror image of the result and probably rotated 180 degrees. I don’t even want to think about that as I type and correct this quick-ly with my computer. Tea with Mr. BBy Julie Terry CartnerLife in a small town creates a different dynamic than in more populated areas. With a population of 504, not only does everyone know everyone else, but people often wore more than one “hat.” As a result, your teacher could also be your church organist, your neighbor, and a dear family friend.So, though it might sound strange, or, in today’s world, a tad creepy, being invited to tea at my teacher, Mr. Boerum’s house was no cause for concern. Tea with Mr. B was an expe-rience. He embraced his Anglophilic side and especially the concept of afternoon tea. Now, I often rode my bicycle by his house and sometimes stopped for a quick visit, but afternoon tea was serious business. This happened by invitation only. On those days, we’d settle in his parlor with a pot of tea steeping under a tea cozy. While it brewed, we’d talk until the appropriate amount of time had passed. Then he’d pour a spot of cold cream into delicate china cups, followed by the piping hot brew. While the tea cooled, we’d help ourselves to crisp cucumber sandwiches, sweet apple cinnamon scones, oatmeal cookies or biscuits, and miniature fruit tarts.While I enjoyed culinary treat for sure, my ten-year-old self was equally enchanted with the fact that in his home, Mr. B treated me like an adult, almost an equal. He’d always asked me if I’d like to pour the tea. I always declined, too afraid of spilling it and staining his white lace tablecloth. But he’d always offer, I think hoping one day I’d gain enough confidence to say yes.Between bites of sandwiches and sips of tea, we’d con-verse. He wanted to know my impressions of the school, the people and the town. He asked about my former school, what was better, worse, or just different. I didn’t realize at the time that I was the first student in a long time who had experi-ence outside of our little town, and he was interested in my thoughts and opinions. Conversation flowed easily. I thrived in knowing he valued my insights. I learned to reciprocate by asking him questions about himself. His house was amazing, full of antiques and musical instruments, and he loved to talk about them. In later visits, we’d discuss literature, music, and the arts. He encouraged me to grow, to seek, and to expand my hori-zons. He led me to understand that being well versed in many areas would make me more confident in myself.With Mr. B, I felt valued and respected. As the youngest of four, and the daughter of two highly respected parents, I often felt invisible, but never with Mr. B. He saw me for myself. He seemed genuinely interested in what I had to say, and I think he enjoyed seeing me thrive in his company.Often, after tea, we’d move to his piano, his harpsichord, or his spinet, and I’d listen as he played. Before long, I’d start singing along to songs from My Fair Lady, The Sound of Mu-sic, or West Side Story. I don’t recall talking about singing, but I know my confidence grew as I sang with this musical genius. Finally, as the afternoon drew to a close, we’d say our good-byes and I’d climb on my bike for the ride home, full of crumpets and tea, for sure, but also filled with the warmth that comes from a pleasant afternoon of visiting and singing. I look back now and almost wonder if this really hap-pened. It sounds like something out of a novel. In many ways, I had an idyllic childhood. My path to adulthood was paved by adults who nurtured me and helped me navigate around many of life’s cracks and crevices. The gift of time. The gifts of conversation, helping chil-dren understand their value, or providing opportunities for children to see and unleash their potential: the importance of these cannot be overstated. With technology, multitudes of organized sports and other activities, and the busyness of daily life, sadly, it is easy for children to miss out on these experiences. It is our job, as adults, to make sure that doesn’t happen. pain for my group members by suggesting they tune in. Their responses were painful: ‘To say to survivors of suicide loss that suicide is preventable is to invalidate our loss, to cheapen it as though we didn’t try hard enough,’ one said. Another said: ‘(The phrase) fills me with guilt.’ “I asked two psychologists why the phrase suicide is pre-ventable is used so frequently. From an academic, clinical and suicide prevention campaign approach, they said that perspective may be true. ‘If you take away the concept that you can prevent suicide, you lose funding for mental health services at the national, state and even community level.’ “We agreed the phrase suicide is preventable is aspira-tional rather than factual. Even the state official who made the statement later agreed saying, ‘In no way did I mean to assign blame or imply that suicide is always preventable.’ If mental health professionals can admit this, those of us living daily with suicide as a fact should recognize our inability to prevent it. If we’d known more, we would have done more. If love could have kept them here, they’d still be here. These are the facts I share with people in my support groups. When speaking with loss survivors, I often make this comparison to cancer: A doctor may treat an individual using several mo-dalities and they still die. The same may be true with suicide. “Identifying September as National Suicide Awareness Month would be one way to change the stigma. Treating the disease with the same language used for other diseases, like breast cancer awareness, normalizes it and removes a sense of shame for the person who died and their friends and family. “We all want to end suicide and end the stigma around mental health. Let’s promote awareness without promoting guilt or blame.”Julie WhittakerMocksville Wording important during Suicide Prevention Month DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Sept. 26, 2024 - 3Dateline Fundraisers Saturday, Sept. 28Hotdog Saturday to benefit Michele Dyson family, New Union Church, Sheffield/County Line roads, 11 a.m.-2 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 3Port-a-pit BBQ chicken, The Cathedral of Grace, 817 Greenhill Rd., Mocksville, 8 a.m.- 5p.m. Plates, $14 with two sides, roll and dessert; chicken only, $7; veggie plate, $9.

Over time, it has grown into “the everything history room,” as Phillips calls it. The room is lined from wall to wall with display cases, genealogy re-search stations, bookshelves, and filing cabinets brimming with historical documents.Phillips is the History Room Assistant. With a master's degree in historic preservation from Eastern Michigan University, Phil-lips returned to her home-town in Davie County 12 years ago. She brought with her an education and years of experience in historical education and preserva-tion, serving as a teacher workshop administrator at the Henry Ford Museum in Michigan and later at Old Salem in Winston-Salem. Her passion for engaging with history led her to the History Room even before she began working there.The wall-to-wall, chest-high filing system might seem intimidating, but Phillips describes these cabinets as “the real treasure chests of the room.” Inside these meticulously orga-nized drawers are decades of Davie history. Phillips opens one drawer to reveal a newspaper from the Great Depression era, complete with a pinto bean pie recipe.If you don’t find what you're looking for in the files, it might be hiding in one of the reference volumes lining the bookshelves - marriage certificates, sheriff records, and family histories dating back as far as 1676. For anyone tracing their Davie ancestry, the room is a goldmine of information.A mechanical whine draws attention to the print-er, working hard to serve the room’s research needs. In the Map Corner, you'll find detailed maps showing the physical transformation of the county over the centu-ries. From property lines drawn in the 18th century to Revolutionary War scrib-blings, these maps allow visitors to walk through Davie County's history—sometimes even tracking down ancestral lands.Phillips values the pres-ervation of history because it helps people connect with their roots. A large display case houses Native Ameri-can tools and weapons found in Davie, some dating back as far as 8000 BCE. School-children visiting the room are drawn to the impressive atlad and the arrowheads on display.The People Not Property (PNP) Project is uncover-ing the names of enslaved individuals forgotten in the historical record. TVolun-teers at the History Room have been working the files alphabetically for over a year and are only up to last names beginning with B. Volunteers are always wel-come whenever the library is open. Phillips provides instruc-tions on how to go through the files and find infor-mation. “We can’t rewrite history,” she said. “What we can do is use what the past has left behind to uncover long-hidden family trees and give people back their names.” In the History Room, names and stories from the past are unlocked through well-preserved documents and artifacts. Phillips shows an old photo of a group of men standing in front of the courthouse, ready to be relocated. Thanks to an old memoir, a blur in the photo is identified as a dog named Bob, forever remembered alongside his master.Unfortunately, space in the History Room is limited. Historical tools and large artifacts like a handmade secretary desk and a histori-cal rope bed are awkwardly tucked away due to space constraints. Many more artifacts, in-cluding Civil War-era weap-ons, are stored in the vault because there’s not enough room to display them.Thanks to historians like Flossie Martin, James Wall, and Marcia Phillips, our history is preserved for countless more years of study and appreciation. “Without historians, his-tory [just] gets sold on eBay or hung on a Cracker Barrell wall,” Phillips said. If you have any items of The history room is part of the People Not Property project to identify enslaved people who lived in Davie County. History ... The display about Davie native Col. Thomas Ferebee, includes an autographed of the Enola Gay signed by him and crewmates; and a plaque commemorating the dropping of the first atomic bomb from the plane. Ferebee was the bombar- dier. A Civil War era letter is on display.

At right, Jamie Brungardt asks Ed Bounds (Ed’s Dinosaurs Live) about Baby T. - Submitted Photos The Masonic Picnic is back.After several years of smaller events with limit-ed attendance, this year the Masonic Lodges of Davie County raised some $15,000 for the Masonic Home for Children in Oxford.And to top that off, orga-nizer James Taylor estimat-ed that throughout the day, 2,000 people attended.“Thank you to the com-munity from the Masonic lodges,” Taylor said. In addition to vendors and a popular dinosaur exhibit, there were food trucks and a visit from children from the Oxford home.“It was so heartwarming when the children arrived,” Taylor said. “A lot of the vendors had special gifts for them. All of the children’s meals were paid for and they were given a little spending money upon their arrival.”Plans have begun for next year’s picnic, planned for mid-August.Tina Jackson accepts the food truck award for Gunt- er’s Grill on Wheelz.

And if someone is to be taken off of the register because they ha-ven’t voted in past two fed-eral elections, they are sent two notices to their regis-tered address. Officials will work with voters, within the law, to make sure they are properly registered.“And when a person votes, their name is regis-tered as having voted, so they can’t vote a second time.”Voting machines are se-cure and regularly tested. Voters can view on paper the ballots they cast on a touch screen before having it scanned. Voting results are only sent via private lines, and are posted by the N.C. Board of Elections. Vape ...

Tests proved those claims, Hartman said.Many of the products were also packaged to look like real candy or cookie items, including using the same name as the original product.Mohammed Ali Mokk-tar, 41, of Mocksville, was charged with felony coun-terfeit trademark, felony possession of marijuana, possession with intent to manufacture, sell, or deliver marijuana, selling marijua-na, and maintaining a place for controlled substances.

He was taken into custody in lieu of a $65,000 bond.Deputies seized hundreds of pieces of evidence as well as more than $90,000 in cash. Due to working with federal and state authorities, the money was seized by the Department of Home-land Security as proceeds of narcotics transactions and is subject to forfeiture. Additional items seized have been sent to laborato-ries for testing which may result in additional charges, Hartman said.“The Davie County Sher-iff’s Office is committed to investigating individuals and businesses involved in these types of sales,” he said.To enhance the investi-gative ability of the sheriff’s office, two deputies have received training and are sworn as officers of the An-ti-Counterfeiting and Trade-mark Task Force through the N.C. Secretary of State.On Sept. 23, deputies went to Discount Tobacco and Vape and Cooper To-bacco and Vape in Mocks-ville. Several items were seized that violate copyright and trademark laws as well as being designed to attract children, Hartman said.The items seized included references to cartoon char-acters such as Bugs Bunny, the Simpsons, Star Wars, as well as being marked as well-known candy such as Skittles.Mohammed Ali Mokktar Salah Ahmed Mohammed Elections ... All election officials are sworn by oath to uphold election laws, and can be ar-rested if they don’t.“Sometimes, it’s hard for people to understand an op-posing view,” LeBlanc said. “We’re in a democracy, and a democracy starts at the bal-lot box, where we choose the people we want to represent us. It is the voters who deter-mine who we elect to adopt policies.“Democracy was not set forth by one political view. It was an amalgamation. De-mocracy is still the one thing that unites us.”LeBlanc uses the analogy that humans have two ears and one mouth for a reason. They need to listen more.“I was raised to listen to both sides and to try to un-derstand ... ask questions as to why they feel the way they do. But old habits are hard to break. People hold onto their beliefs, even in the face of conflicting information.”He said that at his first presentation on the elections process, the audience ap-peared shellshocked.“They were blown away. They had no idea of how complex this (elections) is, how many steps we have to go through to do this. This is a sacred trust for voters to know that their vote is count-ed. I can’t stress enough how important voting is. All votes matter in the final count.“There is so much re-quired of elections boards, directors and staff that we have to get it right. I wel-come the public to come and view what we do. There’s nothing secret about it.” ArrestsThe following were ar-rested by the Davie County Sheriff’s Office.Sept. 21: Lisa Osborne Carlsen, 62, of Riverside Drive, Mocksville, break-ing and entering, simple possession Schedule II con-trolled substance; John Ray Elkins Jr., 45, of Calvin Lane, Mocksville, misuse of 911 system, giving false report to police; Ivan Rocin-cuet-Bernal, 31, of Sunset Drive, Mocksville, posses-sion of drug paraphernalia, possession of methamphet-amine; Jonhnathan Michael Wampler, 32, of Turrentine Church Road, Mocksville, open alcohol container, driv-ing while license revoked impaired driving revocation, possession of marijuana, possession of drug parapher-nalia, possession of marijua-na paraphernalia; Sept. 20: Richard James Neal, 30, of US 64 E., Mocksville, cyberstalking.

Fall a wonderful time of the year in the garden By Mike BarnhardtEnterprise record Fall is a beautiful time of the year.In fact, here at the Calahaln Bootanical Gardens (Our affection-ate name for our backyard.), so is summer and spring. Even winter.But fall brings those muted colors. We’ve all seen it as the leaves on trees turn brilliant reds and oranges and reds before falling to the ground.But what about the zinnias, those easy-to-grow hot weather summer favorites. They become somewhat flawed as the days get shorter, and those flaws can bring out some amazing combinations of colors and imperfections. Just have something ready to plant in their place, because once a frost hits, they’re gone for good. An added bonus: allow a few blooms to go to seed, they come up in the same spot the next year.We pride ourselves on having something in bloom at all times of the year, and it’s really not that hard. Even in the dead of winter, some plants such as hellebores, pansies and quite a few bulbs can bloom. Plant enough, and you’ll get some surprise blooms every now and then.We also pride ourselves in growing some of the food we eat, without a dedicated “garden” space. That’s not as difficult as it may sound. Tomato and pepper plants can be placed between shrubs around the house, as can seasonal vegetables. Even if you Zinnias dazzle until the first frost. We’re on the edge of the growing zone for the flowering ginger at left, but it has thrived in the gar- den for years, giving off an intoxicating scent when it blooms at this time of the year.

Even in winter, hardy greens such as collards can thrive. I’ve knocked ice off of greens be-fore picking and cooking, and they were great.But this time of the year is special. We get to enjoy the end of summer colors while the beauty of fall arrives.The downside - at least to some people - is that fall may bring a bit of extra work, as every change of the season does. Remember, the rake is your friend. And compost those leaves.No, the fall doesn’t mean the end of gardening.

Fall Home Improvement Page 2 Homeowners tend to want to maximize all of the space they have in their homes. For some this may involve turn-ing a garage from a utilitari-an space into one that serves multiple purposes. According to The Mort-gage Reports, a home-buy- ing and improvement re-source, garage renovations can increase the value of a home and add living space. Garage remodels can cre-ate additional storage space, provide an area for a home gym or even create room for a home office. Prior to beginning a ga-rage remodel, homeowners may have some common questions about the process. How much does the reno-vation cost?Several factors will ulti-mately determine the final price of a garage remodel, but HomeAdvisor says the national average for a ga-rage remodel falls between $6,000 and $26,000. Most homeowners come in at around $15,000 for a total garage conversion. Will I recoup the invest-ment?A garage conversion adds value to a home if it creates new and usable living space. The firm Cottage, which pulled together a team of builders, architects and tech-nologists, advises the aver-age garage conversion pro-vides an 80 percent return on investment. That ROI varies depending on location. How can I upgrade the flooring?Garages traditionally feature concrete floors. Al-though durable, concrete floors can feel damp, hard and cold underfoot. Both vi-nyl plank and epoxy flooring options can elevate the de-sign and functionality of the garage. Can I have the best of both worlds?Sometimes a garage needs to serve many pur-poses. Lofting the garage means a homeowner can still park cars or utilize the lower space as a living area, all the while items are stored over-head. Some flip this design scenario and have the loft area as a bedroom or finished living space, while the lower portion remains a traditional garage area. Another thought is to finish only a portion of the garage. This works well for two- or three-car garages where there will be room to park a car and the remainder will serve another purpose. What are other ways to im-prove the garage?Installing more windows or improving on the lighting in the garage can be import-ant. The garage improvement experts at Danley’s say win-dow installation enables peo-ple to circulate air in the ga-rage without having to open the garage door. Improving the lighting means the garage can still be enjoyed or uti-lized after dark. Spread out lighting in the garage, and use a combination of over-head and task lighting just as one would in the home itself. How do I deter bugs or oth-er pests from entering?Insects often want to hun-ker down in garages, and they may find it easy to get inside a garage. Keeping the garage clean and organized is the best way to deter pests and to spot infestations be-fore they become problem-atic, indicates Mosquito Joe pest control company. Re-ducing water and humidity in the space, weatherproofing at the base of the garage door and other entry spots and utilizing insect repellents to make the garage less hospita-ble also can decrease the risk of insect infestation.Remodeling a garage can add value and plenty of us-able space to a home. Wheth-er a garage houses cars or hosts neighborhood game night, a garage renovation can be well worth the invest-ment.

It’s also important to ready sgenerators and other small engine equipment for winter use. How and when you prepare your equipment for seasonal changes can save time and money lat-er, says the Outdoor Power Equipment Institute (OPEI).“Readying your equip-ment for winter needs is important as the weather changes,” says Kris Kiser, president and CEO of OPEI. “It’s also important to put your fall equipment away correctly. What you do now when you put away your equipment, sets you up for an easier start in the spring.”Here are seven tips from OPEI to ensure schainsaws, generators and other equip-ment are ready for winter storms. Also, your lawn mower and other spring equipment will be avail-able and ready for use when warmer temperatures return. • Review owner’s manu-als. Re-familiarize yourself with how to handle equip-ment safely. Lost manuals can be found online. Save a copy on your computer if possible, so it can be consult-ed when needed. Be familiar with your equipment, and all its features, including how to turn it off quickly and safely.• Service all equipment. Before storing spring and summer equipment, clean and service it or take it to a small engine repair shop. Change engine oil and safe-ly dispose of the old oil. Service the air filter, and do other maintenance as direct-ed by the owner’s manual. Check winter equipment and see if any maintenance and repairs are required. • Handle fuel properly. Unused fuel left in gas tanks over the winter can go stale and even damage equipment. Before storing equipment, add fuel stabilizer to the gas tank, then run the equipment to distribute it. Turn the en-gine off, allow the machine to cool, then restart and run until the gas tank is empty. For winter equipment, buy the recommended type of fuel no more than 30 days before use. Use fuel with no more than 10% ethanol in outdoor power equipment. Use a fuel stabilizer if rec-ommended by the manufac-turer. Get more information on safe fueling for outdoor power equipment at Look-BeforeYouPump.com.• Charge batteries. Re-move and fully charge bat-teries before storing. Don’t store batteries on metal shelves or allow them to touch metal objects. Store them on a plastic or wood shelf in a climate-controlled structure.• Shelter equipment from winter weather. Store spring and summer equipment in a clean and dry place such as a garage, barn or shed. Win-ter equipment should be kept away from the elements, but be easily available for use. • Prepare, prepare, pre-pare. Make space in the ga-rage or basement before the weather changes, so there is room to store larger yard items. Remove sticks, de-bris, dog and kid’s toys and other items from your yard that can damage or destroy equipment. Clear the paths used regularly, especially during the winter when snow can “hide” things. • Have the right weather appropriate extension cord for generators. Keep heavy duty outdoor-rated cords on hand. Ensure it is the right length to operate the gen- erator a safe distance from the building. Never operate a generator indoors, in a ga- rage, breezeway or under an open window or near any air intake for a building. Make sure generators are ready for use. Fall the right time to ready power equipment Fall is officially here, and the foliage on Grandfa-ther Mountain, the not-for-profit nature park run by the Grandfather Mountain Stewardship Foundation, is starting to show signs that the seasonal color change is upon us.Buckeyes and locusts are among the first tree species that turn at Grandfather ev-ery year, while maples typi-cally get a red hue early on. Abiotic factors like tem-perature, length of day, wind, solar radiation and more im-pact the phenomenon of fall color.At this time, the colors appear to be developing a bit early, though any warm spells could slow the transi-tion back down.“We did have a substan-tially drier June and August than last year,” said John Caveny, director of conser-vation and education for the Grandfather Mountain Stewardship Foundation. “We also experienced some cooler-than-normal tempera-tures in late August and ear-ly September, and that has sped up the color show to a degree. There are quite a few trees that are already starting to turn this year. We may be a little bit ahead of schedule for color change compared to last year, but we do ex-pect warmer temperatures on the way to slow the pro-cess down a bit over the next week.”At Grandfather Moun-tain, leaves begin turning at the highest elevations and work down the slopes into the surrounding areas over several weeks. Typically, in late September, the earli-est colors at the mountain’s highest elevations begin to appear on the shrubs and low-growing flora. Peak col-or toward the summit is usu-ally early October. The lower sections of the park will of-ten peak in mid-October. The views of fall color brighten-ing up the low-lying valleys below can last through Octo-ber and beyond.For more on the sci-ence behind Grandfather’s fall leaf season, visit www.grandfather.com/science-be-hind-fall.Grandfather’s lofty peaks can be an advantage during fall. Even if you’ve missed “peak” fall color in the park, it’s spectacular to see the vibrant leaves in the valleys below from the upper half of the mountain.To learn more about fall at Grandfather, visit www.grandfather.com/fall.

A penthouse apartment with floor-to-ceiling win-dows and a panoramic view of a city skyline likely won’t prove a hard sell, nor will a home with an infinity pool overlooking a landscape of rolling hills. As awe-inspiring as such features can be, some more subtle components, such as authentic hardwood floors, also can do much to make a home more appealing to pro-spective buyers.Hardwood flooring is a sought-after commodity. Data from the National As-sociation of Realtors indi-cates that 54 percent of home buyers are willing to pay more for hardwood floors. In fact, NAR figures indi-cate that 28 percent of buyers between the ages of 35 and 54 consider hardwood floors “very important” when look-ing for a home.Homeowners who are considering selling their homes, or those who simply want to upgrade their exist-ing flooring, may want to consider installing hardwood flooring. Though it’s a project best left to professionals, hard-wood flooring can be in-stalled by skilled DIYers. In such instances, homeowners may want to keep these dos and don’ts in mind. • Do hire a professional if you have limited or no DIY flooring experience. Hard-wood flooring installation is not generally a project for novice DIYers. Hardwood flooring proj-ects may present some common challenges, but no two homes are the same. So unless they have prior ex-perience installing floors in multiple rooms or homes, homeowners may save them-selves time, trouble and a significant amount of money hiring a professional to do the job.• Don’t ignore the sub-floor. New hardwoods won’t erase the problem of sub-floors in poor condition. According to the home ren-ovation experts at BobVila.com, squeaky floors could be an indication the subfloor has begun to warp or twist. Sinking floors are another in-dicator of deteriorating sub-floors. Subfloors should be somewhat level before new hardwoods are installed, so DIYers should inspect and address subfloor issues be-fore installing new flooring.• Do expose wood floor-ing to the elements in your home prior to installation. The home improvement resource BuildDirect rec-ommends acclimating hard-woods to the space where they will be installed. Skip-ping this step could result in gaps during the winter and cupping over the summer. To acclimate hardwoods, open the boxes and spread them out for about a week while running the air conditioner or heater at normal levels. When storing hardwoods prior to installation, avoid keeping them in potentially moist areas like a basement.• Don’t skimp on tools. A DIY hardwood flooring installation might be less expensive than hiring a pro-fessional, but homeowners should resist any temptation to increase those savings fur-ther by purchasing less costly tools or fewer tools than nec-essary to complete the job. BuildDirect notes that DI-Yers will need at least a miter saw, table saw, cleat-nailer or stapler, finish nailer, com-pressor, jamb saw, chalk line, nail set, and tape measurer when installing hardwood floors. Purchase all neces-sary tools and read product reviews to ensure each tool is up to the task.Wood floors can be awe-inspiring. Some home-owners can install such floor-ing on their own, and the project can be much easier if they learn as much about installation as possible prior to beginning the project.

FH228147 Homebuyers want hardwood floors. Certain home renovation projects are more glamorous than others. A remodeled kitchen is sure to garner its share of “oohs and aahs,” while a newly paved driveway is less likely to dazzle guests. A gutter replacement is another job that might not have the wow factor. But fully functioning gut-ters are a must and can help to prevent potentially expen-sive roof damage. Gutters rarely draw attention, but homeowners can keep an eye out for signs that indicate gutters need to be replaced.Signs gutters should be replacedVarious signs indicate it’s time to replace existing gut-ters. Homeowners should act promptly if any of the fol-lowing signs arise, as poorly functioning gutters can make it hard for water to get into the downspouts, ultimate-ly pushing it backward and likely underneath roof shin-gles, where the result can be costly water damage.• Peeling paint• Cracks• Pooling water in the gut-ter • Mildew in the gutter, which can sometimes be seen even from the ground • Water damage: Water damage on the gutter can be limited to certain spots and will be noticeable on the un-derside of the gutter• Soffit damage• Sagging gutters• Detached gutters, which can be detached from other pieces or the house• RustWho should replace gutters?Many home improve-ments can be completed successfully by skilled do-it-yourselfers, but a gutter replacement is best left to the professionals. Homeown-ers who live in single-story homes may be able to replace gutters on their own, but the issues that can arise when gutters are not functioning at optimal capacity make this a job best suited to profession-als, even in residences with-out high roofs.Some gutters may be un-der a manufacturer’s war-ranty, so homeowners can check to see if their gutters qualify for a free upgrade. Experience is one of the best reasons to work with a pro-fessional gutter installation team. Experienced profession-als can identify which gut-ters are the best fit based on a host of factors, including the pitch of the roof, local conditions and the size of the house. In addition, gutter in-stallation requires the use of various tools that many DI-Yers may not have on hand, which can cut into the cost savings of doing the project yourself. Homeowners also should not underestimate the chal-lenges of working on lad-ders that are high up off the ground. Professionals are accustomed to such chal-lenges, while DIYers may not be comfortable or used to climbing ladders with mate-rials and tools in hand.

Gutters important, but may not produce oohs and aahs Hardwood floors are important to homebuyers Inflation and the looming threat of a recession have led many homeowners to em-phasize smaller projects. Regardless of where stor-age is added, be it the kitchen or a home office or a laundry room, extra space to keep items out of view can dra-matically alter the look of a home. Unused kitchen walls can be transformed with some inexpensive, easily hanged shelves, while some laundry pedestals with storage draw-ers can help keep washrooms clear of clutter.Painting is another inex-pensive option. There’s no shortage of places in a home, inside and out, where a fresh coat of paint can make a statement without breaking the bank. Fading paint on bedroom walls and kitchen cabinets can be painted over with a coat of the same color or something more vibrant. Outside, apply a coat to a wooden deck or paint over brick to create a new look.

The War Eagles eventually got around to blowing past Reynolds, 32-17. Their 23-0 run to end the game began exactly when receiver Ethan Driver made his first catch of the night. Once he got going, there was no stopping Davie. Davie finds rhythm; wins CPC opener Driver continued his tear with 11 catches for 130 yards - his ninth 100-yard effort in 15 tries - and there really isn’t a whole lot more we can say about the junior. “He’s the type of player, when he has the ball in his hands, it could be special,” coach Tim Devericks said. Davie’s second win in a row evened its overall record at 2-2. A two-game slide dropped the Demons to 2-2. The first quarter wasn’t pretty for either side. On the game’s fourth play from scrimmage, from the Reynolds 17, CJ Moore blocked a Reynolds punt. The ball ricocheted into the end zone and Dylan Miller tackled a Demon for a safety and a 2-0 lead. Two minutes later, with Davie set to kick it away, the snap sailed over punter Connor Dixson’s head. Davie lost 30 yards and Reynolds took possession at the Davie 25. Reynolds’ Josh Norris would drill a 41-yard field goal to give Reynolds a baseball-like lead of 3-2. But on the ensuing kickoff, Gavin Reese electrified the home team by taking it 85 yards to the house. Davie had a 9-3 lead. “It’s unfortunate the injury he got and he missed a game (at North Davidson),” Devericks said. “He’s healthy and looking to make plays when he’s got the ball in his hands.”Davie outside linebacker Austin Heath stuffed Reynolds quarter-back Tommy Elrod for no gain on a fourth-and-1 run from the Davie 34, but four plays later, Reynolds blocked a Dixson punt. Three plays after that, Davie partially blocked Norris’ 42-yard FG attempt to keep Davie’s lead at 9-3. Davie’s worrisome start con-tinued in the second quarter. Elrod hit Mac Murphy for a 36-yard TD. Davie’s offense lost yardage on three straight plays. Reynolds took the 17-9 lead on a 9-yard pass from Elrod to Joe Crawley. And Davie lost a fumble with 4:48 remaining in the second. At this point, Davie’s offense looked a little disjointed. The War Eagles had minus-23 yards on 19 plays, Driver had not made a catch, they had one first down, and they had four straight three-and-outs. “We had to battle in the first half,” Devericks said. “I was super proud of the way we played (after falling behind 17-9).”Reynolds went for it on fourth- and-5 from the Davie 35, and corner-back Landon King broke up a pass to give his team the ball. The game began to turn on a third-and-9 play. QB Draeton Nance found the reliable Driver over the middle for 16 yards. That was the spark for a 13-play, 65-yard drive. On third-and-5, Nance and Driver hooked up for 11. On second-and-goal from the 11, Nance managed to fire a pass to the end zone even though a defender was trying to yank him down. Dallas Simms pulled in the TD catch even though a defender was draped on him. On the drive, Nance went 6 of 6 for 57 yards, including four comple-tions to Driver. “I just went up and tried to go get it, just doing my thing,” Simms said. “It was awesome.”“Unreal,” Devericks said. “Dal-las battled for the ball.”Devericks kept the offense on the field and went for two and the tie. It looked like a sandlot play. With running back Jamarius Pelote about to go down under an avalanche of Demons, he alertly pitched the ball backward to Nance, who walked in to deadlock things at 17 with 18 seconds left in the half. “Jay and Drae must have some code word or something,” Devericks said. “It was pretty awesome.”“I was screaming his name: ‘Jay! Jay! Jay! Jay!’” Nance said. “I heard Draeton calling my name,” Pelote said. “I looked up and saw him. We really needed that - whatever worked to get us in the end zone.”The War Eagles used that mo-mentum to mount the 23 unanswered points. They moved 74 yards to take a 23-17 lead, a seven-play drive that included completions to Driver and Please See Rhythm - Page B4 The Davie cross country team returned to Charlotte’s McAlpine Park last Saturday for the Hare and Hounds Invitational. A total of 87 schools from six states registered team scores in two varsity races, while dozens of other schools com-peted in the open high school and middle school races. Competing in the Invitational Division, the Davie boys proved to be the class of the field, taking top honors in the team competition while also grabbing the top two individual spots.The War Eagle boys were first among 58 schools with a team score of 155 points. Grimsley followed with 187 to edge Cuthbertson (189). In the girls competition, Nation Ford of South Carolina defeated Cuthb-ertson and Grimsley, while Davie finished 34th out of 49 full teams.Thomas Essic ran away from the field as his time of 16:01 was good for his second individual win in three races this season. As the race win-ner, Essic was awarded the coveted Essic, Lakey 1-2 in big cross country meet “Hare” trophy. Teammate Ethan Lakey (16:21) was given the “Hound” award as he led the chase pack across the finish line in second place. Brayden Kist-ner ran 17:45 for 44th place, while sophomore Jacob Steelman turned in a huge 30-second PR to take 49th in 17:48. Logan Zuleger rounded out the Davie scoring with his 69th place showing in 18:15. Jackson Sulecki placed 92nd in 18:34, while Tyler Hill was 137th in 19:02.•••In a field of 349 finishers, the Lady War Eagles were led by the 19th place showing of junior Lexi Marion. Marion dipped under the 21-minute mark for the first time as she crossed the line in a new person-al record time of 20:59. Freshman Rachel Starkey was the next Davie finisher in 171st place (24:28). She was followed by Kinsley Shinsky in 261st (27:01), Isabella Schilling in 273rd (27:02) and Clara Phelps in 274th (27:02).In the open race, Chris Devicente was Davie’s top finisher as his time of 18:57 was good for 24th place in a field of 618 finishers. The Davie boys finished 13th out of 55 schools. Ty Greene had a big PR of 19:57 as he broke the 20-minute barrier for the first time and crossed the line in 65th place. Freshman Avery Van Lente turned in his second consecutive PR as he finished in 147th (21:07). He was followed by Tyler Deaver, who ran a personal best time of 21:25 to finish 167th. Teammate Patrick Brady was 173rd with a time of 21:27. Ronan Dailey crossed the line in 25:06 while Liam Smith finished in 27:49. Both Dailey and Smith established new personal best marks. •••In the girls open race, Cheyenne Waller led the War Eagle effort with a time of 29:48. She was followed by a season’s best effort from Abby Lane (32:21), Maggie Smith (34:42), Alexa Villa (35:15) and Hayden Smith (36:02).Please See 1-2 - Page B5 By Brian PittsEnterprise Record The football teams from Ellis, North Davie and South Davie all had sweat-free wins last week, which was nothing new for the Jaguars, who have buried opponents by an aggregate 182-0. At home on Sept. 17, they utterly shut down a Mooresville team that came in with zero losses. Cam James and Bowman Blakley ran for three and two touchdowns, respectively, as Ellis (5-0) raced past the Red Imps 38-0. “Cam and Bowman both have size and they run hard,” assistant coach Mike Morgan said. “Up to this point, nobody has stopped it.”Mooresville loaded the box in an effort to contain the James/Blakley tandem, but they still did whatever they wanted while churning behind Graham Weaver, Brody Newman, Joseph Burchette, Cody Zwanzig and Vincent Clements. “They blitzed continually and we were still able to run the ball,” Mor-gan said. “They were a lot bigger than us up front, but our line came off the ball and popped them pretty good right from the beginning. Our backs have been tough to stop, but they still need holes to run through.”The ferocious defense was equal-ly dominant, with Mooresville failing to gain a single first down in the first half. “The defense stepped up again,” Morgan said. “It was pretty clear they were frustrated. I don’t think Mooresville has been in that situa-tion too many times in recent years.”Graham Wood and Ben Bost had interceptions. “(Bost’s INT) was an absolute backbreaker for them,” he said. “It was 20-0 and he returned it to the 4-yard line. A block-in-the-back (penalty) took it back to the 19, but we were able to punch it in anyway. That made it 28-0 before halftime.”The Jaguars, whose closest mar-gin all season has been 28 points, are three wins from their third perfect record in four years. “Our kids have worked hard and the coaches feel like we’ve im-proved consistently,” he said. “That better remain the case because the toughest game we’ll play is (Sept. 24 against South Davie).”South 42, Cone 0South Davie scored on five of 16 offensive plays - it had another TD on a kickoff return - and bullied visiting Bonnie Cone on Sept. 17. Elijah Tatum took a kickoff 70 yards to the end zone. Wyatt Tucker, Jared Vaughters and Colsen Dulin ran for TDs, and William Sandoval tossed a pair of TDs - for 31 and 35 yards - to Dreighton Lunnerman. “We had it blocked up, we had a pretty good wall set up,” coach Ellis, North & South football all win big Please See Middle - Page B5 Thomas Essic (left) and Brayden Kistner run for Davie.

Varsity volleyball tied for 3rd in CPC Davie’s varsity volleyball team won two of three matches last week. Davie crushed visiting Glenn 25-14, 25-7, 25-3. One day later in a home nonconference match, the War Eagles lost in five sets to Grimsley. A match at Reynolds was the third in three days, and Davie rolled in three sets. The War Eagles (6-8 overall) entered the week tied for third in the CPC, with Reagan 8-0, West Forsyth 5-1 and Davie/East Forsyth tied at 5-3. Davie’s junior varsity did the same thing, beating Glenn and Reynolds and losing to Grims-ley. The JV is 9-5 overall and 7-1 in the CPC. Reagan, Tabor shut out Davie soccer Davie’s varsity soccer team was blanked twice last week in CPC play, losing 3-0 to Reagan and 5-0 to Mt. Tabor. Both games were at home. The losses left Davie 4-6-2 overall and 0-3 in the CPC. The JV was shut out both times as well. The 3-0 setback to Reagan stopped Davie’s longest winning streak (four) in six years.

Reagan may not have been mathematically defeated after singles, but it could hear the Jaws shark music. Defeat was coming soon in doubles. After taking two matches from Davie in singles, the Raiders got scorched 24-5 in doubles and lost the match 7-2. The margin in Davie’s first eight matches was either 9-0 or 8-1. “I told the Reagan coach: ‘You’re the first team to take us to doubles. Congratu-lations. And I don’t mean that as an insult. You played well,’” Collin Ferebee said after Davie ran its CPC record to 8-0 on the coach’s 36th birthday. “We didn’t play our best match, but we can have ugly matches and things to work on, but at the end of the day, you won and that’s what matters. The hallmark of this team is even when we’re not at our best, we’re still playing really well. Going back to Laura Becker, Sierra (Foster) and Amanda (Ngo) War Eagle tennis remains perfect with 10-0 record and all them, they had some clear talent, but this has been the best mentality team I’ve had in eight years. No team before has had that ‘we’re winning’ mentality from top to bottom. I love coming to practice every day.”The singles winners were Elliot Newsome (6-1, 6-2), Corbin Drum (6-3, 6-2), Bai-ley Aderhold (6-3, 6-2) and Casey Cao (6-0, 6-3). Sweeping doubles were Newsome/Leah Gibson (8-3), Drum/Aderhold (8-1) and Kate Chaffin/Cao (8-1). Newsome, who has com-mitted to Division-II Belmont Abbey, has been surgically efficient during a 10-0 season that has pushed her career sin-gles record to 50-10. In 19 of 20 sets this season, she’s won 6-2 or greater. “She’s trying to make sure when she heads off in the summer that she’s playing her best tennis,” Ferebee said. “Rather than trying to blow up opponents, she’s working on eliminating mis-takes, hitting cleaner strokes and not double-faulting. It’s a striving-for-perfection thing. She’s worked super hard the last four years.”Here’s something that’s scary for opponents: New- some is the only senior starter. The likely No. 1 player next year will be Drum, who is 10-0 this year after going 14-2 as a freshman. “We’ve got some fresh-men and sophomores waiting in the wings to take over,” Ferebee said. “Corbin has been No. 2 for two years and she’s really grown as a leader. If this does turn into her team next year, I don’t think we’re going to be in a bad spot at all with Corbin ‘taking over.’”Davie 9, Forbush 0Forbush marked the 10th hopelessly overmatched op-ponent in 2024. Five singles matches went 6-0, 6-0, the exception being Gibson’s 6-1, 6-0 score at No. 4. The nonconference match was held at Davie on Sept. 19. While Chaffin/Cao won 8-4 at No. 1 doubles, Ferebee let some backups see action in the other doubles. Lena Parsley/Bethany Jacobs and Ola Leszczuk/Avery Gladd both won 8-1. Leszczuk is a freshman who is 6-1 in doubles with four different partners. “Ola is our No. 7,” Fere-bee said. “She is a super hard worker. She wants to do what she can to help the team. She’s too important to this team to not get experience when you’re part of the future.”Gladd is 2-0 in dou-bles while teaming up with Leszczuk. “Between exhibition dou-bles and a couple of matches that she has played in, Avery has tried to prove that she deserves a spot in the future,” he said. Parsley and Jacobs have taken advantage of their op-portunities, going 3-0 as dou-bles partners. “Lena and Bethany are our No. 4 doubles team,” he said. “I get them out there when I can, and when I see them beat a good opponent, it makes me feel like we’re doing some-thing good because I’ve got underclassmen ready to take over when my upperclassmen graduate.”Davie’s third 10-0 singles record belongs to Cao. Chaf-fin and Aderhold are both 9-1.

Cor-ban O’Neil (batted pass), Reese (pass breakup on third down) and the defense forced a quick punt. When Nance threw a bubble screen to Driver on fourth-and-2 from the Reynolds 33, Driver split two defenders near the line of scrimmage and was gone as Davie pushed the lead to 29-17. “(Receiver) Landon Waller was blocking extreme-ly well for Ethan on some of those screens,” Devericks pointed out. After sputtering out of the gate, Nance, one game after throwing for a single-game record of 450 yards in his var-sity debut, finished a stellar 23 of 33 for 230 yards and two TDs. The numbers are more impressive when you con-sider Davie netted 278 yards. “He’s a freshman and he was down on himself,” De-vericks said. “We told him: ‘Hey, keep your head up and go play the next play.’”Davie’s fourth straight scoring possession came later in the third when senior Max McCall converted a 40-yard field goal - Davie’s longest in three years - to close the scoring. Interestingly enough, McCall is 3 for 3 on FGs in his two-year varsity career, including 2 for 2 in 2024. “I thought those were a big three points in the game,” Devericks said. “We’re trying to build Max’s confidence and he proved he could do it tonight.”After being a non-factor in the first half, Bowling pounded out 63 second-half yards on 16 physical carries. “It was a tough 71 (for the game),” Devericks said. “He was churning the ball tonight.”Meanwhile, after allowing 73 rushing yards and 11 com-pletions in the first half, the defense held Reynolds to 10 rushing yards and five com-pletions in the second half. The Demons’ second-half possessions: punt, punt, inter-ception, interception. “I think our defensive line really stepped up and linebackers were filling,” sophomore linebacker Elijah Chaffin said. “It was kind of iffy (early on), but we were able to fill the hole and were able to do really good in the second half.”“We were a little bit up-field in the first half, and we changed our angles,” Devericks said, citing d-line-men Braylon Arnold, Marcus Fortune, Grayson Cayton and Gio Alcacio. “On the edges, you had Austin Heath and Corban O’Neil. Connor Dixson made some plays. (Safeties) Elliott Gould and Connor Hood made some good tackles. (Outside line-backer) J’siere Arnold made some big hits, too.”Hood had both intercep-tions in a span of five minutes in the fourth quarter. “He was smiling,” Dever-icks said. “Those (defensive backs) always work hard. When something doesn’t go right, everybody sees it.”The cherry on top was a 19-yard pass from Nance to his step-brother Waller on a third-and-18 play in the final series of the game. Rhythm ... “Drae did a really good job there of stepping up in the pocket,” Devericks said. Notes: Davie’s offensive line started with Ryan Wil-liams, David Hicks, Ryder Strickland, Colt Ratliff and Xavier Parker. When Wil-liams left with an injury, Eli Waddell took over at right tackle, Parker moved to left guard and Hicks slid over to left tackle. Cole Anders saw time at both guard spots. “Once they figured it out and were communicating, things clicked,” Devericks said. ... This was the closest Reynolds game during the War Eagles’ six-game winning streak in the series. They won the pre-vious five meetings by 29, 19, 45, 24 and 44 points. Davie has won 14 of 15 to take a 28-14 advantage in the all-time series. ... The War Eagles will be the underdog in their next four games. This Friday they face a state elitist, East Forsyth, in Kernersville at 7 p.m. East’s four wins: 44-0, 56-12, 49-14, 69-21. It’s a rough matchup. Mooresville beat Davie 66-20.

Scoring three points after two runners was pretty im-pressive. Still, I really don’t think we ran that well. I was initially shocked that we won the meet. Thomas and Ethan gave us what was expected but they weren’t pushed. Jacob had the breakthrough we have been expecting, so that was exciting.

Some of our younger guys did run well. Ty Greene had a great race and Avery continues to improve. “For the girls, we were really happy for Lexi. She has wanted to break 21 minutes and she finally got there. She was recognized on the awards platform for a top 21 finish.“We still have to get bet-ter. There are 29 schools in the Midwest Region and we project six to advance to states. Right now we are the seventh-best team. We are ca- pable of breaking through, so we will have to wait and see how badly this team wants it.”Davie’s will be at the Great American Cross Coun-try Festival in Cary Oct. 5. “That will be a compet-itive meet that we have not run before,” he said. “There will be some good teams there from the Northeast and down to Florida. I expect around 12 states. That will be our last race before conference. I think our kids are excit-ed about the opportunities ahead.” Continued From Page B1Germain Mayfield said of Tatum’s return. “He made one move at the end, but that was pretty much it.”Defensively, Malachi Miller and Dulin recorded safeties as the Tigers (4-1) posted their largest win since the 2022 season. They entered the Ellis game with a three-game winning streak and a 7-1 run dating to 2023. North 42, Burke 6After suffering three con-secutive losses, North Davie found a ray of sunshine at Selma Burke. The catalyst was QB Levi Morales, who ran for four TDs and threw another to Easton Stanley. Nathan Smith added a scoring run. “(Morales is) a great ath-lete,” coach Beau Byerly said. “He knows the game well. He knows how to read a defense. He’s very agile. He had a lot of shifty moves on his runs. I Middle ... don’t know if he was tackled all game. He (also) plays a mean safety position.”Defensively, Byerly said the leaders were linebacker Smith and spurs Sawyer Hall and Stanley, along with cor-nerbacks Jeremiah Hernandez and Christopher Gonzalez. “We had outstanding cor-ner play from Jeremiah and Christopher,” he said. “I think we gave up one positive pass. They locked them down. I put them in a zero look, pressing up on them, and they couldn’t handle (Hernandez and Gon-zalez). They got them off their routes pretty much all game.”From the coach’s view, safety Wade Ridenhour should have had a pick-six for 60 yards. A questionable pass interference penalty erased the play. “It was bang-bang,” he said. “They collided at the same time. Our corner popped the dude right as he caught it, the ball flew up and Wade caught it and took it to the house.”The win, unfortunately, was costly as two Wildcats left with broken bones - out-side linebacker Jodee Rosales and receiver Hudson Pfaff. “We’re down to 16,” Byer-ly said. “It’s kind of hard to practice with 16.”Notes: Peyton Jordan kicked three extra points to give North (2-3) six points on special teams. “I felt cou-rageous, so I put him out there to kick a 35-yard field goal,” Byerly said. “He was short about five yards, but it was on line and he kicked it well.” ... After dominating opponents in 2023, the Bears have faded to irrelevance. Last year they beat North 50-20, South 28-16 and Ellis 20-6. This year they lost 40-0 to Ellis and 40-6 to South, so they’ve been outscored by Davie County 122-12. By Brian PittsEnterprise Record Blake French and Javon Carter ran for touchdowns in the first quarter, and Davie’s JV football team was well on its way to its fourth win in four tries. Reynolds, though, had other plans. The Demons rallied and upended Davie 14-13 in the CPC opener in Winston-Salem on Sept. 19. Injuries and other factors proved to be too much to overcome. Draeton Nance was the quarterback for the first two games, but now he’s the varsity signal caller. That left the JV quarterback duties to Colin Harrison, but he was out with an injury. That meant Blake French had to move from receiver to QB. Davie was also without No. 1 runner Brandon For-rest, who was sidelined by an injury. “It was not a great night,” coach Spencer Pasciolla said after the JV’s first loss to Reynolds in seven years. “We made some big men-tal errors. We definitely should’ve put more points on the board. We had guys who were trying to step up, but didn’t get a lot of prac-tice time to do what they were doing.”Davie roared to a 13-0 lead in the first quarter, but the offense was listless the rest of the evening. That was understandable. Not only was French asked to fill in at QB, he was playing with his own injury. “And he only had two days of practice,” Pasciolla said. “He had a wrist injury and he did not get a lot of reps throwing the ball, and we all know quarterback is the hardest thing to do on the field. It’s not a knock on him at all. He had a huge responsibility, and that’s hard to execute.”French hit 5 of 11 passes for 54 yards. He also gained 31 yards on the ground. “Obviously he’s a very talented kid,” Pasciolla said of French. “The first two drives we did really well. I’m not worried about him.”Carter was the top ground gainer with 16 carries for 50 yards. French connected with Jayce Bentley (two catches for 35 yards), Ian Patton (1-8), Carter (1-7) and Cole Spade (1-4). On the plus side, the defense only allowed one score. Reynolds’ first TD, coming in the second quar-ter, was a pick-six. The Demons surged in front in the third quarter. “They love to hit, which is always fun to see,” he said of the defense. “I’m super proud of them.”Notes: Davie was hurt by three turnovers, including two fumbles. ... Davie had won the past six meetings, including 32-6 last year. This was the first loss to Reynolds since 27-26 in 2017. Demons hand JVs first loss Davie cross country runners from left: Ethan Lakey, Lexi Marion (in the middle photos) and Rachel Starkey. *Annual Percentage Yield (APY) eective as of the publication date. $1,000 minimum deposit to open and is required to earn stated APY.

One of the first changes was the closing of one-room grade schools as the Cherry Grove School, the last such school in County Line, closed in 1935. Anoth-er major change was increas-ing the number of grades from 11 to 12 grades for high school graduation; the class of '47 was the first to have a 12th grade. Most high schools were union schools with grades 1-12; some had elementa-ry "feeder" schools. Way-side Elementary students went to Cool Spring High and Ebenezer Elementary students went to Harmony High. As photos show, Har-mony 8th graders were ex-cited to be rising high school freshmen in 1947, and Cool Spring students were happy to be high school freshmen in the fall of 1953, even though each class remained on the same campus.Michele Dyson remains In September 1953, these County Line students were excited finally to be high school freshmen at Cool Spring: From left Row 1 - Martha Sherrill (1); Row 2 - Janey Koontz (1), Cora Ellen Stroud (2); Row 4 - Nancy Daywalt (4), Jo Ann Myers (5), Betty Seamon (7); Row 5 - Sadie Brown (5); and Row 6 - Mary Jo Myers (1).
