Due to a significant reduction in the Title 1 budget, the school has been unable to maintain as many part-time instructional assistants. This grant will enable the school to hire an additional part-time read-ing tutor and a part-time reading instructional assistant. Currently, the school has two dedicated reading specialists focused on the most intensive interventions. The new funding will allow the school to provide supplemental support to a group of students help-ing them access grade-level texts, understand key vocabulary, and improve comprehension. This initiative is designed to increase read-ing proficiency across all grade levels for the 2024-2025 school year, ultimately developing stronger reading skills and promoting lifelong learning among students.• House of Hope Piedmont received $15,100 to replace the HVAC system in the lower level of the facility.

By Mike BarnhardtEnterprise Record ADVANCE - There will be no barbecue this Friday at the Ad-vance Fire Department.But area residents are encour-aged to drive by on Fire Station Road to make a donation. Pro-ceeds will be donated to fire de-partments and firefighters in the mountains of North Carolina.“One fire department was completely wiped out,” said Ron-nie Robertson, long-time fire-fighter and officer in Advance. “If we can collect some money, we can help some of those fire de-partments.” Some of the Advance fire-fighers and equipment are already in the mountains, doing what they can to help people displaced and isolated because of floods, mudslides, and damaged bridges and roads. A tanker and team of firefighters has already been de-ployed, and a drone team with pilots is on standby.That potential lack of help at the barbecue is just one of the reasons the decision was made to cancel, Robertson said.Another reason: It’s the right thing to do.“We need to support these crit-ical missions and assist with the safety of those communities af- fected,” he said. “Our hearts and efforts are focused on helping our fellow firefighters and communi-ties in need.”Volunteers will be at the road collecting donations beginning at 8 a.m. Friday. Robertson suggests folks donate at least as much as they would have spent on a pound or two of barbecue.“Local fire departments in western North Carolina have lost everything,” he said. “Every pen-ny counts, and no donation is too small.”Check the fire department website for an upcoming link to make online donations.

Tell us what you think It’s up to Godly Americans to change the course To the editor:The best way to understand inflation is to look at it through the lens of history. When you can relate personal events to historical events, the history can shed more light on an issue than a television sound bite.I can certainly relate my life’s history to inflation. Our cur-rent mortgage is at 2.875%, but I have also had a mortgage at over 15%. Inflation in a twist of fate also forced me to change careers in 1982. Some background helps to better understand it all. I grew up in nearby Lewisville back in the 50s when it was a rural place with a functioning feed mill, a couple of general stores, two gas stations, and a hardware store. After college, I moved to Canada to raise cattle because even then, land was too expensive in North Carolina and Virginia for cattle. By 1980, we had been farming for eight years. Our cattle herd of registered red and black Angus had reached 200. Like most farmers we had an operating loan. Ours was a relatively modest one of $100K. Interest rates in Canada and the United States hit levels that today seem almost impossible to believe.In Canada, the prime rate hit 21% which meant we were paying 22% or $22,000 yearly in interest. In the US prime was a little lower.“The US 30-year fixed mortgage rate reached a high of 18.4% in October 1981, which was the highest point in mod-ern history. Mortgage rates remained high throughout the de-cade, finishing at around 10%.”The reasons behind the rise were complex but included, the Vietnam War, high energy costs, and a revolution in Iran among other things. The effects were long lasting.In 1964, when this story began, inflation was 1 percent and unemployment was 5 percent. Ten years later, inflation would be over 12 percent and unemployment was above 7 percent. By the summer of 1980, inflation was near 14.5 percent, and unemployment was over 7.5 percent.We were fortunate to own our 400 acres of farmland when we made the decision to disperse our cattle herd. It took a year’s worth of planning but in October 1981, we sold all our cattle and paid off most of our debts. We still had all our equipment but our land was not really suitable for anything but hay and pasture.That next summer I went to work in town and within a couple of years, I went to work for Apple Computer, and we were faced with buying our first new house in Halifax, Nova Scotia. The 1984 mortgage rate we got was something over 15%. Those interest rates were most caused by energy short-ages. It took a sustained period of high interest rates and a recession to break the cycle.If you fast forward 36 years and three houses later, we have been living on the North Carolina coast for 15 years while I worked remotely for a Blacksburg, Va. network consulting firm. It is late summer of 2020, and we are in the midst of a pandemic. We want to move, but we have to sell our house first. We put it on the market and it sells within three weeks. We had already settled on Davie County because it matched my memories of Forsyth County where I grew up. In the early October we have a list of 30 Davie homes that we have sent to our real estate agent.By the end of October, all but 15 on the list had sold. By the time we get to Mocksville in early November, there were only three houses left for us to see.We were exceedingly lucky. We found a house that had been built in 2018, but was not quite finished. The front yard To the editor:Voting is such a precious freedom in a free country. In the last election for President, 20 million Christians didn’t vote. Would they have changed the present government from complete failure?Millions of illegal people have come into our country and the crime wave has been large. It has been a dangerous and unhappy situation in many ways for so many people. The goverment did nothing to stop the flow of hundreds of people who came through the open border. The only way to stop this invasion is to vote for a government which will stop this. This is in the hands of people who vote. Christians need to pray and vote for leders who give us a hope and a plan for a better tomorrow. The experience of voting in Davie County is a pleasant one. You are greeted and helped form the time you go to vote. They assist you in every way. They help you if you have any questions, and make the experience very pleasing and a sense of victory. I’m proud to be an American.We had four wonderful years in which we prospered, and we had peace here and around the world. People had jobs and we felt safe. Let’s pray and vote for the person who loves our country and is willing to die for it. Let’s all pray for that future he gives us. It’s up to Godly Americans to make this a reality by their votes.May God bless us all and President Donald Trump.Violet CainMocksville had no grass so we called it the house with the bad yard but it had a lot of other things going for it, and I knew we could fix the yard. We made an offer and it was accepted inNovember 2019. The builder, a well-known local builder, told us that if he had built the house after August 2019, the house would have cost $100K more because of the pandem-ic-induced price explosion on building materials. He shared that plywood had gone from $12 a sheet to $48 a sheet. That would have put the house out of our price range. Our builder put off building his own new home because of the materials price explosion caused by the pandemic.As we finally got into our new house in February 2021, we found that there were still pandemic-supply shortages. We couldn’t get the refrigerator or stove that we wanted and we were limited to one manufacturer. We still had to wait a week after we moved in for our refrigerator.Now here we are in 2024, barraged with commercials about inflation being the worst problem ever. History tells otherwise. It also tells us that normally when you have a time with red hot demand, the fix is high interest rates and a result-ing recession with people losing jobs. Over a million people lost jobs in the early 80s.Recently I saw a local business person introduce his TV commercial by saying that the Triad area was in the biggest boom since World War II. I tend to agree with the local busi-ness man, there is certainly more housing construction go-ing on in our area than I ever imagined. There are few if any businesses that don’t have a “Now Hiring” sign. Our local economy feels strong.However, not only did the pandemic have an impact on building supplies, it also had a huge impact on gasoline and food prices. Those low December 2019 gasoline prices were the result of demand for gasoline falling off a cliff. People were staying at home, working and studying there if possible. Gasoline is a worldwide commodity, its pricing defies politi-cians of both parties. Not only did the pandemic create shortages because of fewer workers but people wanted different things. Manufac-turers are just now catching up but they are having to pay workers more to get them to come back.I see good signs, there are lots of homes being built lo-cally, interest rates have started to come down, food prices have stabilized but at a higher level than any of us like. Yes, my Quarter Pounder costs more, and I expect part of those costs come from higher wages. I am happy to pay that small increase. While my salary hasn’t gone up, at my age, I am happy to have a job that I can do from home.Davie County has some smaller farmers that I can easily relate to from my 10 years of farming. We are so lucky to have these local farmers still growing vegetables and livestock for the area. I have gotten to know a few of them. I buy their products every chance I get. I don’t think this bout of high interest rates is going to force any local farmers that I know to give up on farming like it did me. They have already had to adapt to much higher fuel, fertilizer, and equipment costs than I faced. Luckily today’s interest rates are nowhere near what we faced. Big events like the pandemic, the energy crisis, the Iran revolution in the 80s have huge impacts that don’t neatly match election cycles. Looking at history through a personal lens helps us understand that.David SobottaMocksville Look at inflation through the lens of history To the editor:One definition of a politician is a seeker or holder of public office who is more concerned about winning favor or retain-ing power than about maintaining principles. That is what the Democratic party is doing in this election. When you see the ads published by Kamala Harris, you can see that what she is saying she can not do and has not done. She is appealing to the younger generation promising more child care credit, money to buy a home, punishing price gougers, forgiving student debts, and many other things. Ev-eryone should know that little of this can she accomplish.Look at Harris’s record as vice president. We know it is difficult for a VP to get credit but in her case, she failed big time on immigration. She did not even go to the Mexican bor-der to see what was happening until a few days ago. Fact-finder states that the immigration issue has cost the American taxpayers in excess of $161 billion and keeps rising. Many of the immigrants receive US aid while in the US illegally.There is nothing wrong in coming to the US if it is done in the proper manner. We have a number of friends who came to this country the correct way and they are good citizens.Biden and Harris have not been leading the US. Big cor-porations, lobbyists, Clinton and Obama are the ones making the decisions about what the US is doing. Many congressio-nal candidates get elected to office while they have a low net income but when they leave office, they are millionaires. How many press conferences has Biden had in his four years? Only one or two, because he cannot think properly when speaking. Harris has not really had a press conference.Under Biden, the US does not have a working foreign pol-icy. Russia, China and many other countries know this and are taking advantage of his leadership. Even Turkey, where the US has military bases has turned against the US. Under Biden and Obama billions of dollars were released to Iran who used the money through Hamas to finance a war on Isre-al and Syria and create chaos in the middle east. If the US had a strong foreign relationship, they could have recovered the hostages held by the Palestine’s in a few days - not years - if they get any of them out alive. Biden puts pressure on Israel rather than the Palestine’s.Our economic situation is a disaster as we all know. Biden and Harris can say all they want to about how well they have advanced the economy but just look at what the prices are at the stores. Look at the taxes added to the utility bills, phone bills, gasoline bills, price of postage stamps, or whatever you purchase. Everything at the grocery store has either gone way up in price or the size of the product has decreased. Fast food prices have skyrocketed. Due to the economy, restaurants are going out of business. Companies are laying off workers. We all know that when prices increase, they do not ever decease.What has Biden and Harris done or will do for the retired and ageing people? We are faced with all the rising prices including rent, property taxes and other prices and receive Do you want another 4 years of the same? Please See Trump ‑ Page 3 You would have thought she had grown up smack dab in the middle of Advance. But she wasn’t.You would have thought that she had grown up knowing that the real LA - the one that matters most in this world - is thousands of miles from California.But she didn’t.What Linda Carter was, however, was Advance to the core.Ms. Advance, the Mayor of Advance, the Queen of Ad-vance, the Sheriff of Advance: all of these monikers fit Linda Carter perfectly.The No. 1 supporter of the Davie community died last week at age 81. She may have been born in Mocksville, but she was Advance to the end. She changed Advance for the better. She changed those who ever crossed her path for the better.Linda, forever the provider and protector for her family, started operating the little corner store in Advance, sometime in the late 80s or early 90s. It was a gathering spot, and with Linda inside, that was no wonder. Her personality attracted people of all types. Everyone was her friend.Working in that little store for years meant that Linda, at one time or another, had met most people in Advance. In oth-er words, she knew everything about everyone in Advance. The good, and the bad. But she always encouraged the good.I was a regular listener of a morning radio program that featured Aunt Eloise, a DJ who often mentioned neighboring communities when talking about the goings on in the world. One day, she (Well, you decide on that one. She had a bosom like Dolly Parton, legs like Lorrie Morgan, a tush like Shania Twain, and a face like Willie Nelson) decided to poke fun, and it was fun, at Advance. A Christmas parade in Advance? Now that was a funny joke.Linda Carter thought it was funny, too. She also thought, what would be funnier would be if Advance actually could pull off holding a Christmas parade. She helped organize it, and it was a hoot. Aunt Eloise even made an appearance, or that may have been an imposter. It was the most fun I’ve ever had at a Christmas parade; I thinked I laughed the entire time. It’s still a highlight of the season for all of Davie County.But she didn’t stop there.Knowing about the people in Advance, she also knew about the ones who were struggling: the ones having trou-ble making ends meet, and the ones who lived in isolation. It was Christmas. What do Christians do at Christmas? For one thing, they help their neighbors in need.What Christmas is All About was born. It continues today, with volunteers going door to door spreading Christmas cheer when needed.That’s the kind of woman Linda Carter was.She cared about her bigger community, as well. She once ran for sheriff. It may have started as somewhat of a joke, but she was serious. And with her knowledge of people and ability to get along with just about all types, she would have made a good one.She also loved this newspaper. Linda Carter sold more subscriptions than our circulation department ever thought of. Being at that little store, she also saw a lot of newcomers moving into Advance. She didn’t discourage them, all were welcome in her Advance world, but she encouraged every single one of them to subscribe to the Enterprise. That way, she told them, they would get to know Davie County a bit better. They could become one of us, not a foreign interloper.Her love of this newspaper and of that Advance Christmas Parade meant that one year our publisher was invited to be the grand marshal. No need to come in a convertible or any kind of ride, she told him. The parade would provide the transpor-tation. He arrived, and she had arranged for a jackass, or was it a donkey, for him to ride. I gained new respect for Dwight Sparks that day. He knew it might be fun for folks to watch the newspaper publisher riding on a jackass while spectators argued about which was which, if you know what I mean.Even later, I got to know some of Linda Carter’s relatives. It was obvious that her love of Advance wasn’t the priority in her life. Her family was. They knew it, and they cherished it. They’ll always know it, and they’ll always cherish it.On Sunday, Linda Carter was laid to rest in the Mocks Church Cemetery. In Advance.Thank you, Linda Carter.In her memory, do something positive for your community this week. It will make you and them feel better.And for goodness sake, be happy. Life is too short to waste on putting other people down. Be positive. It worked for Lin-da Carter, and it can work for us, too.- Mike Barnhardt Thank you, Linda Carter DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Oct. 3, 2024 - 3Dateline BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT The BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT- An AFFORDABLE marketing choice!

Congress needs to reconsider how increases in social security are calculated. Congress ignores this issue.Former President Trump has a lot of problems but knows more about leading a country than Harris. You can say what you want but he did a lot while in office the first time even with all the harassment brought down on him from the Clin-tons, Obamas and the Justice Department. These people were so angry when he won that they started problems for him before he even took office. Even a few of the Republicans would not help support some of his objectives.When he is elected, he has an agenda that will make Amer-ica great again. I feel that he learned a lot from his first term and will correct a lot of his mistakes. Yes, he needs to stay off the twitting and listen to his advisors which I feel he will do. Trump will talk to China, Russia and the other countries including NATO and try to get things settled in Europe and the Middle East. He will secure the southern border, deport criminal illegals, and demolish foreign drug cartels.Look at how the national debt has risen under Biden and Harris. Trump will stop out-of control spending to help end inflation. He will also unleash American energy production to lower gas prices which Biden eliminated his first day in office.You make your own decision when you vote but remem-ber what the last four years have been like and do you want another of the same thing for the next 4 years?

He felt called years ago to create a place where teens, children and families could come to enjoy God’s creation in a space where they could renew and refresh their walk with the Lord - a place where everyone would be treated with respect.He built it and they came.Since its beginnings, Camp Manna has worked to add to its amenities and of-ferings every year. They nev-er stopped asking what they could do to add to the value of Camp Manna for children and youth and the communi-ty. They have moved forward with projects as the dona-tions allowed. “I can take $1 in dona-tions and turn it into $2 of work for the camp,” Riddle said.In 2005, Camp Manna made a conscious choice to serve children and families with childcare by offering summer camp. The summer camp which began with 12 children has grown to 175-185 kids in 2024.Volunteers are vital in making the camp work. It takes 30 to 35 volunteers every summer. Some of the Camp Manna volun-teers were former campers who grew up spending their summers playing baseball, basketball, soccer, and vol-leyball. They participated in canoeing, paddle boating, fishing, archery, and zip lin-ing. For them, Camp Man-na was the perfect place to spend active summers learn-ing more about the love of Jesus.Daughter Jessica Riddle Branham joined her dad in 2007 helping with the ad-ministrative side of camp. Valerie Goodman later joined as camp director. Both of their families are “all in” on sharing their talents and gifts as they share the love of Jesus with campers.Branham and Goodman know the importance of volunteers to Camp Manna. New fund to support Camp Manna Ministries They invest in the counsel-ors so the counselors can invest themselves in helping the campers. They offer a Wednesday night dinner to give staff time to relax and talk about ways to improve the camp. They are constant-ly striving to offer a better quality program.Camp Manna pivoted during Covid to offer remote schooling for students. They added Wi-Fi throughout the campus so they could serve kids in three buildings. Later they offered a virtual school for students who weren’t ready to return to a tradition-al setting.Every year Jessica gives Stan a “building list” of work to be done before the next summer camp starts. Donations are collected and the work is completed. Kids settle into the new additions over the summer, and then new ideas for projects begin again.Camp Manna has ex-panded offerings far beyond the original vision of Stan Riddle. In addition to pas-sive enjoyment and summer camp, Camp Manna offers weekly church services, seminars, special events, and weddings. The foundation’s Bridgette Dillard and hus-band Nick were one of the early couples married at Camp Manna.Today, Camp Manna more than fulfills Riddle’s original vision of offering a place for youth and adults to renew and refresh their walk with Jesus. “Hundreds of youth are learning to share Jesus’ love with others - important work for the staff and many ded-icated volunteers,” Simpson said.“Our youth do not make up 100% of our society, but they do make up 100% of our future,” says Riddle. Now that the Ron & Te-resa Bivins Fund for Camp Manna Ministries is open, anyone may add to it with any amount. The goal is to provide perpetual support for the work of Camp Man-na Ministries. Gifts may be made online at daviefoun-dation.org or send a check payable to Davie Commu-nity Foundation with Camp Manna in the memo section to PO Box 546, Mocksville, NC 27028.To learn more about the foundation contact Simpson at (336) 753-6903 or jsimp-son@daviefoundation.org or visit www.daviefoundation.org.

The Town started a pilot project with Precision Safe Sidewalks to determine if their process of precisely cutting away trip hazard imperfections was more effective and less expensive than cutting away and re-pouring entire sidewalk segments. The test area was on Main Street in the business district and N. Main Street in the residential district and included 202 identified hazards. The Town received overwhelmingly positive resident feedback for addressing trip hazards and only spent $13,799 rather than the $50,916 cost to replace the problem segments. The FY24-25 Budget included a proposal to complete this work for the rest of the Town’s 8.5 miles of sidewalks. A Precision Safe Sidewalks crew will soon be addressing the remaining 465 sidewalk trip and fall hazards and 234 curb hazards identified. The Town will pay a total of $58,130 for the work which will be $181,871 cheaper than cutting and replacing the problem segments. The Board of Commissioners also approved funding for new sidewalks to improve connectivity with downtown Mocksville. Public input was sought on four possible segments and the Board directed me to move forward with the sidewalks ranked highest by the community. We will be seeking an engineering firm to design and provide cost estimates for new sidewalks from the Walgreens on Yadkinville Road to the roundabout, on Wilkesboro Street from Meroney Street to the Roundabout, and approximately 40’ on Meroney Street from the roundabout towards the Senior Center. These projects will help Mocksville meet our strategic goals of enhancing walkabilityand promoting our downtown businesses, events and organizations. It has the added benefit of providing safe routes to walk, run, or just enjoy a beautiful fall day outside. Town staff and the Board of Commissioners are continually looking for ways to improve the community through public engagement while being responsible stewards of public funds. Kenneth W.

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

Believe it or not, I have reached the age where I can now join the Davie County Senior Center. It feels like just yesterday that I graduated from Davie High with the Class of 1987. Now I get to enjoy all of the benefits of being a “Senior Citizen.”The Davie Senior Center is top-notch and is highly rated in comparison to our surrounding counties. I had the pleasure of being the emcee for this year’s Ms. Senior Davie pageant. Michelle Ellis and Carrie Miller do an excellent job with every aspect of the Senior Center, but I especially love this annual pageant. I was able to see four lovely ladies courageously step onto a stage and show their pride in who they are and what they have accomplished. Although only one contestant was crowned as queen, all of the ladies were winners for having participated. Since that night I have noticed all of the folks around town that should be showcased for all they have done in their lives. We have a great community full of outstanding people. Last weekend the Davie County Masonic lodges held the 145th annual Masonic Picnic. I have fond memories of what the picnic once was when there were rides and you got to see your school friends after a whole summer of being apart. There were no amusement rides this year and Covid 19 did its part in canceling the “picnic” aspect of the day; however this year I did see something that brought a spark of joy to my heart. The kids are back! This year’s picnic coordinator- James Taylor- was able to arrange a charter bus for the children to come from the Oxford Masonic Children’s Home to our event. There were kids everywhere! These kids didn’t care that there was no ferris wheel or swings. They had dinosaurs and food trucks and a bouncy house. The whole purpose of the Masonic Picnic for 145 years was to raise money for what was formerly known as the Oxford Orphanage. We have always invited the children, but for various reasons they could not always attend. We all should be proud of this long-standing event that the Davie County Masons hold every year. All of the Masonic lodges across North Carolina and throughout the world are committed to the support of “widows and orphans.” It does make it worthwhile when you see a child smiling and having fun despite the difficulties life has put in his or her path. It was certainly a great day for Davie County! The Mocksville Town Board of Commissioners is working hard to make good decisions and develop a vision for the future of our town. Your elected officials spend long hours discussing plans for future development and infrastructure, while trying to balance growth and not becoming the next Hanes Mall Blvd or Lewisville- Clemmons Road. The Board made a tough decision at our September meeting to deny the approval of 150 town houses that were to be built near Koontz Road. They chose to “tap the brakes” on growthjust to make sure we do not grow too fast. For the developer and folks looking for housing this was not the best decision, but for the citizens of the townand the residents around Koontz Road it was the best decision for this moment in time. Fortunately, we live in a great town with good access to highways, an exceptional infrastructure, and a bounty of amenities for its citizens. Unfortunately this is attractive to all the folks who do not live here and want to be a part of a community like ours. Growth is inevitable…’c9people want to move here. Businesses want to build here. We just need to be prepared and plan wisely. Thank you for electing officials that care about our town and strive to have a vision for its future. William J.

From 1978 through 2005, the War Eagles did not manage a single first-place finish in the conference. For most of those 28 years, the tennis program was routinely mediocre. And then Alex Appelt burst onto the scene. From 2005-08, Davie tennis had never seen anything like Appelt, and the War Eagles underwent a renaissance, going from a 98-pound weakling to CPC champion three times in four years (two tournament titles, one regular-season title). When Appelt played his last Da-vie match, he was the No. 1 winner in program history; he currently sits By Brian PittsEnterprise Record While it’s been a trying season for Davie’s varsity volleyball team, the War Eagles showed what they’re capable of when they hosted East Forsyth on Sept. 24. Almost a month after falling to East in four sets, Davie turned a corner with a strong performance. “The first East Forsyth game, we left there with a sour taste and a frustrated mindset,” coach Am-ber Brandon said after the 26-24, 25-17, 26-28, 25-11 victory. “We were still in our one-step-forward, two-steps-back mentality. We knew there were going to be some growing pains early in the season, but we’ve put the work in, we’ve had the long hours and now it’s about believing in yourself. “Davie had dropped six of seven to East, but a sensational senior, Emma Willard, helped Davie exor-cise some demons. By Brian PittsEnterprise Record The Davie tennis team goes into every match expecting to win. Da-vie’s players know it. The opponent knows it. And the War Eagles know the opponent knows it. Davie’s undefeated/unchallenged season continued when it shut out Mt. Tabor in Winston-Salem and West Forsyth at home. The singles lineup was the same By Brian PittsEnterprise Record Receiver Jayce Bentley put on a show and Davie’s JV football team gave visiting East Forsyth a fight be-fore falling short 21-18 on Sept. 25. The War Eagles (3-2 overall, 0-2 CPC) held a 12-0 lead before East came storming back in the second half. When you consider how many guys were unavailable for different reasons, it was a gutsy effort. Run-ning back Brandon Forrest missed his second game with an injury, but there were several others either out with an injury or pulled up to varsity. “We’re missing a lot of people that ended up getting pulled up to varsity,” coach Spencer Pasciolla said. “We missed having (defensive lineman) Ean Click as well, and he’ll be back (this) week. We missed Sammy Angell; he was pulled up to varsity (last) week because we were a little thin on the o-line. We were missing a lot of key pieces, but they’re still fighting really hard. It’s Willard, Davie get revenge on E. Forsyth “Emma is playing at a ridiculous-ly high level,” Brandon said. “I’ve been blessed; I’ve had some really strong liberos in the 10 years I’ve been at Davie. And I have never had a kid play the amount of court that Emma is playing. She passes about half the court in serve-receive - that’s the expectation of Division-I college liberos. She plays way more than her responsibility of the court on defense.”Carly Crouch was a big factor in the season’s signature win. “Carly has had a good year,” Brandon said. “She worked really hard in the offseason. She’s one of the hardest-working kids I’ve ever coached. She probably hit .600 or .700 against Grimsley, and she had a really good night against East Forsyth.”Isabelle Branham, Willard and Ella Shea came up big behind the serving line, and it always helps to Please See Revenge - Page B4 Bentley stars as JV football loses to EF just a super young team right now.”Davie got the ball first and promptly marched 80 yards, scoring on a 27-yard pass from Colin Harri-son to Bentley, who was just getting started with his monster game. The defense delivered a goal-line stand to preserve the 6-0 lead. On second-and-goal from the Davie 9, freshman d-lineman DJ McCaskill had a tackle at the line of scrimmage. Freshman defensive back Carter Cornett was the first War Eagle to meet the running back at the 5, a stop that brought up fourth-and-goal. The next play only gained a yard as d-lineman Jathan Redmond secured the turnover on downs. “I think Jathan does a really good job as a defensive end,” Pasciolla said. “He works so hard out there. He’s usually matched up against someone that’s much larger than him, and he’ll fight them to get through and make a play.”The defense got another turnover Please See Bentley - Page 5 Tennis team makes history with 4th straight title in both 9-0 stompings: Elliot New-some, Corbin Drum, Bailey Ader-hold, Leah Gibson, Kate Chaffin and Casey Cao. The doubles win-ners against Tabor were Newsome/Aderhold, Drum/Chaffin and Cao/Ola Leszczuk. Two days later against West, the doubles wins were posted by New-some/Gibson, Drum/Aderhold and Chaffin/Cao. The 10th Central Piedmont Con-ference win sealed Davie’s fourth straight regular-season champi-onship, an unprecedented feat for Davie girls. It’s the school’s first four-year run since wrestling racked up six straight titles from 2008-13. Davie’s score through 12 match-es - 102-6 - is the stuff of legends. “The match itself (against West) wasn’t that special, but it wasn’t special because of how much work we’ve put in and the talent and abil-ity we’ve had this year, that we can go to a school like West Forsyth or Reagan or Reynolds and go in with confidence I don’t think we’ve had in my eight years and be like: ‘We’re going to get a win today,’” coach Collin Ferebee said. “That has been the most fun part of this year. Every match we feel like: ‘Yep, we’re go-ing to be good today.’ It’s been a fun season of getting better and better and better, and I’m looking forward to how it ends.”Ferebee’s player of the match against West was Ella O’Toole. Although the injured junior hasn’t played a match this season, the coach appreciates her unselfishness. “I picked Ella because she’s had an injury, but she’s been at ev-ery single match and every single practice helping the team,” he said. “This win is for everyone who got us here because we all had to work together as a team. So this was really about the program more than any individual - because no individual could have gotten us here.” Hall of famer Appelt put Davie tennis on the map fifth in career singles/doubles wins with 80. He earned a Division-I scholarship to UNC-Asheville, and 16 years later, he’s set to be inducted into the Davie High Athletic Hall of Fame along with Brian Tribble (Class of 1993), Carrie Brown Mc-Guire (Class of 1994), Tami Ramsey (1996), Raeshon McNeil (2006) and the 2015-18 girls tennis teams. The 2025 hall of fame class will be hon-ored at the home basketball game on Jan. 17. Appelt was so good for South Davie tennis that he never lost in two years; as an eighth grader he did not lose a game, much less a match. From 1999-01, Davie tennis was basically invisible, going 5-29 with three different coaches. But a legend was born four years later, when Appelt arrived at Davie and imme-diately became the No. 1 player. Steven Lingard, the coach for two years in 2004-05, understood he was witnessing the start of something extraordinary. “He’s pretty exciting,” Lingard said before the 2005 season. “Growing up, he and I played a lot together on the same side of the net as him and the opposite, and it really made me appreciate the talent and ability he had,” said Collin Ferebee, who graduated from Davie in 2007. “He was kind of like Davie County’s version of (Roger) Federer - very smooth in his strokes, good movement on the court and he would outthink you. He would not necessarily outhit you, but he could put the ball where he wanted with the kind of spin he wanted.”In that 2005 season, the War Ea-gles jumped a huge hurdle by pulling Please See HoF - Page B3 Junior Carly Crouch goes high for a hit.

The UNC Tar Heels gave up the Victory Bell to Duke last week after losing a 20-0 lead. This week the Heels will face an always tough Pitt team. Duke is off to a 5-0 start. Wake Forest came up short against Louisiana but Davie alum Tate Carney looked good, scoring a couple of TDs in the game. In the pros, the Carolina Panthers looked good on offense again last week in a tough matchup with the Bengals. The defense took a hit as both Shaq Thompson (achilles tendon) and Josey Jewell (hamstring/groin) are out. Thompson is out for the rest of the season. They had already lost defensive lineman Derrick Brown earlier in the season. GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!! AND KEEP THOSE ENTRIES COMING!! DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Oct. 3, 2024 ‑ B3 Continued From Page B2off a 5-4 win over West For-syth, which had outscored Davie 117-17 during a 15-match winning streak in the series. Davie would finish in a three-way tie for second in the CPC - the highest moment in a long, long time. In the CPC Tournament at South Davie Middle, Appelt stormed into the singles final by ripping apart his first op-ponent 6-0, 6-0 and romping 6-2, 6-1 in the semifinals. In those days, it was a rare thing for a top-seeded freshman to get off to a rolling start, and Appelt took his lumps early. But after starting 3-6, he won seven of eight matches to reach the CPC final, where he lost and settled for runner-up. Barry Kennedy took over as coach in 2006, and he inherited one helluva sopho-more and a strong supporting cast. “He’s the super sopho-more,” Kennedy said of Ap-pelt. “He’s just a complete package. He hits extremely well - forehand, backhand, side. He’ll make a mistake because he’s a kid, but there are no weaknesses in Alex’s play.”The 2006 season saw a meteoric rise and demons exorcised. From 1997-01, Davie went 0-10 against Mt. Tabor while getting outscored 83-4. (Davie and Tabor didn’t meet between 2002-05.) But Davie stunned Tabor 6-3 to knock the Spartans out of first place. After losing 17 straight to Reynolds while getting out-scored 139-11, Davie forced a first-place tie with a four-hour, 5-4 win over Reynolds, which carried a 12-0 record into the match. “The boys were pumped and excited, and the parents were going wild,” Kennedy said. “I heard one of the par-ents say it was the biggest win in Davie tennis in forever.”The War Eagles knew they would have to scratch and claw to overcome the absence of senior Phillip Hursey (10-1 singles record at the time) and beat visiting Tabor. They were up to the challenge, winning 5-4 to add a chapter to their storybook ride. By squeezing past West Forsyth 5-4, they nailed down a share of first and ended a 28-year title drought. In a playoff match to determine the No. 1 seed from the CPC, Davie took down Reynolds 6-3. At 16-2 overall and 11-1 in the CPC, Davie had set a program record for wins. Reynolds fell to 18-2, with both losses to the upstart squad from Mocksville. “It felt like those three years of pain and agony and being beaten constantly were all avenged,” Ferebee said. “I told them: ‘I’m the only guy on this bus that was alive when that (last title in 1977) happened,’” Kennedy said. “That puts it in perspective. I’m ecstatic. We made history. Gosh, this is like a Cinderella story for these guys.”In the CPC Tournament at Hanes Park, the War Eagles accelerated their rags-to-riches story. They outlasted Reynolds 17-13 to take first as Matt Hauser/Hursey went 4-0 in doubles. Another milestone was reached in the first round of the state duals - a 5-1 deci-sion over South Mecklenburg that marked Davie’s first ever win in the 4-A playoffs. Page snapped Davie’s 13-match winning streak in the quar-terfinals. Davie finished 17-3, a record that’s only been matched once (17-2 in 2017). Appelt’s career soared as a 2007. After going 12-9 and HoF ... 12-12 in his first two years, he went 15-4 in singles as a junior. “You had college-level players all the way down to No. 5 on our team, and when you played Tabor, Reynolds and those guys, you’d have college players down to three or four,” Ferebee said. “Not saying there are not incredibly talented people now, but those teams were deep and it was hard to get wins and the num-ber ones were all D-1 guys.”“Alex put Davie tennis on the map,” said Matt Van Hoy, a teammate from 2005-08. “We had a great core of guys like Phillip Hursey and Matt Hauser, but he was really the foundation. He was at a whole different level than the rest of us. His record was just unbelievable.”In 2007, Davie notched double-figure wins in consec-utive years for the first time since 1979-80 and finished in a three-way tie for second without a single senior. In the CPC Tournament, Appelt devastated three opponents and powered the War Eagles to a first-place tie with West Forsyth. “You hear about a lot of guys and girls who are rock star players - some of the best players in the state - and they just come to matches,” Van Hoy said. “They don’t actu-ally come to team practices. They go to individual trainers and things like that. It was the exact opposite for Alex. He could’ve easily gone and hit with (his father Bill Appelt, the Director of Tennis at Bermuda Run Country Club), but he was at practice every day hitting with everybody, encouraging guys to put in the hard work. He was the ultimate leader. What’s even more impressive than how good he was is how he took on that leadership role.”In the first round of that CPC Tournament, Appelt steamrolled 6-0, 6-0. He cruised 6-2, 6-0 in the semi-finals, and then he ripped through Reynolds’ top player 6-0, 6-0 in the final. Davie’s phenom was now a CPC champion and later named CPC Player of the Year. “Alex was on fire,” Ken-nedy said. “He blew (the final opponent) off the court. He was fired up and he didn’t let him breathe. I was like he was saying: ‘This is my tournament, this is my title and most of you guys are just standing in my way.’ I don’t think I can remember any tournament where the cham-pion only lost two games in the entire tournament. That’s big-time stuff.”In the Midwest Regional, Appelt drew the 2006 region-al champ in the first round and lost, but the soul of the team would be back for one more season. “Alex hits the ball so dang hard and he’s laced with con-fidence,” Kennedy said before the 2008 season. “He’s ranked in the top 25 in the state. I watched him as an eighth grader and every year his game has stepped up a level. He’s a phenomenal player. I need a general on the court to push these kids with me, and he’s been a great captain for us.”Davie endured gut-wrenching 5-4 losses to West Forsyth and Reynolds and wound up fourth in the league. “A couple points here and there and we’re looking at possibly being conference champs,” Kennedy said. Appelt was going for a re-peat in the CPC Tournament, and he appeared destined for just that by winning 6-0, 6-1 and 7-5, 6-2 in his first two matches. But just when he was ready to add a crowning moment to his career, he pulled a leg muscle in the semifinals and limped around the court against Tabor’s To-mas Debinski in the singles final. Appelt was upset 2-6, 6-2, 4-6, but he handled it with typical grace. “Alex played great, but he was hurt,” Kennedy said. “He pulled a leg muscle and had to play hurt. Alex would never make excuses, but he was limping the whole time. It was pretty sad, but he hung in there like a trooper and tried to win it. He was trying his darndest to win the match. It was a very heroic effort and I was very proud of his effort.”Appelt earned his fourth regional berth and opened with a 6-0, 6-1 win. But in the quarterfinals, he lost 6-3, 6-4 to Northwest Guilford’s Ryan Matthews - falling one win short of the state tournament. Appelt bowed out with a 14-5 record. “Matthews is ranked like 15th in the state, and Alex is ranked 20th in the state,” Kennedy said. “Two good guys going for one slot. That’s the way the draw goes.”Appelt went on to play for UNC-Asheville, and he was good enough to crack the lineup as a 2009 freshman. But his Davie career was one for the history books. He led his team to unknown heights and he was a blast to watch. “Basketball was my big thing and I would dabble in tennis,” Van Hoy said. “I was so focused on basketball, I would come into the tennis season a little rusty, but Alex would get me into tennis shape and put me through hitting drills. His skills were unmatched, but his leadership was another thing that set him apart. He carried my butt so many times. If I would mess up, he was patient and gra-cious. He was class act.”At age 34, Appelt is the Director of Junior Tennis at the Asheville Racquet Club. Back in the day, he had team-mates in awe. “He’ll go down if not he best player of all time at Da-vie High, then he’ll be in the top five for sure,” Kennedy said in 2008. “It’s a player you don’t see very often,” Ferebee said. “If I’m thinking of tennis players - men’s or women’s - that I know of, he’s got to be in the top five all time at Davie. I think personally for my mon-ey, Burke (Rosenbaum) is probably the best men’s tennis player who has ever played at this school and I would put Alex second.” • Upcoming Games •Wednesday, Oct. 2Davie JV/varsity soccer at Reynolds at 5:30/7Davie cross country in CPC meet at Ivey Redmon Park at 4:30Thursday, Oct. 3Davie golf vs. Calvary at 4 Davie JV/varsity volleyball at home vs. West Forsyth at 5/6:15Davie JV football at Reagan at 6:30Friday, Oct. 4Davie varsity football at home vs. Reagan at 7 Saturday, Oct. 5Davie cross country in Wake Med Invitational Monday, Oct. 7Davie JV/varsity soccer at Parkland at 5:30/7Tuesday, Oct. 8Davie varsity volleyball at home vs. Parkland at 6:15Davie JV volleyball at home vs. Parkland at 5 Davie tennis hosting CPC Tournament at 8 a.m. Davie golf at Reynolds at 4Wednesday, Oct. 9Davie varsity soccer at home vs. East Forsyth at 7Davie JV soccer at home vs. East Forsyth at 5:30 By Brian PittsEnterprise Record Ellis’ football team blew the doors off one of the best teams in the Tri-County Con-ference. Of course it did. The Jaguars have been as domi-nant a team as you’ll see. In the final regular-season game on Sept. 25, host Ellis dismantled a good South Da-vie team to the tune of 36-8. That ran the aggregate score to 218-8 for the 6-0 Jags. Quarterback Mason Driv-er broke off two long touch-down runs. Cam James had two scoring runs of his own. Bowman Blakley added one as Ellis pushed its winning streak over South to seven. “Mason played well,” assistant coach Mike Mor-gan said. “South had a good game plan. They stacked the box and sent people. They have the best defense we’ve played. Mason was able to get around the edge twice. He’s also thrown the ball effectively during the limited opportunities he’s been given. He did that (today), too. When you couple that with two big backs that up until now have been able to run over people, it gives you some options.”The scary thing about James? This monster is a seventh grader. “One of Cam’s TDs was like watching Earl Campbell in 1979,” Morgan said. Fullback Wade Hefner hasn’t gotten the glory like James, Blakley and Driver, but his blue-collar contribu-tions have not gone unno-ticed. “Wade doesn’t get many carries, but his blocking has made a big difference in every game,” Morgan said. Defensively, Henry Mi-gliarese, Colby Mason and Wyatt Giff helped Ellis deal South its worst loss since 40-0 at Ellis in 2022, and Graham Wood got an interception. “(Migliarese, Mason and Giff) were tough up front,” First Pitch Dunner Nov. 2 The Davie First Pitch Dinner will be Nov. 2 at the Farm at Oak Hill at 6 p.m. The event will benefit the Davie High, Ellis, North Davie and South Davie baseball programs.

He is averaging 36.5 yards per game. S. Davie tennis wins again South Davie’s tennis team cruised past Selma Burke 8-1 last week. The singles winners were Clara Parsley (8-6), Kady Joyce (8-4), Iris Marion (8-2), Emma Grace Snow (8-0) and Kylie Edwards (8-2). Sweeping doubles for the Tigers were Parsley/Amelia Elledge (6-2), Joyce/Marion (8-6) and Snow/Edwards (8-4). W. Forsyth beats Davie soccer teams Davie’s varsity soccer team was blown out 9-0 at unbeaten West Forsyth on Sept. 23. It was the first mercy-rule loss of the year for the War Eagles, who trailed 7-0 at halftime and fell to 0-4 in the CPC. Davie is 4-7-2 overall, while West is 12-0-1. In the JV game, West scored once in each half and defeated Davie 2-0. It was the third straight loss for the War Eagles (4-4-1). The powerful Titans lifted their record to 11-2. Ellis football has no trouble with South Morgan said. “We’ve had more interceptions this year than probably in the last five or six years combined. A good part of that happening on the back end is what those guys have done all year on the front end.”The Tigers fell to 4-2. North 26, Bonnie Cone 7Running back Nathan Smith was beastly in North Davie’s home thumping of Bonnie Cone on Sept. 24. “He’s a monster,” coach Beau Byerly said after Smith ran for two TDs. “He’s a big power back. He just runs through people. I told him he needs to go home and watch (former Carolina Panthers • Sports Briefs • fullback) Brad Hoover high-lights. He came back and said: ‘Dude, he was awesome.’ I said: ‘Yeah, you could be just like him.’ He wore No. 45 this week for Brad Hoover.”Levi Morales accounted for two TDs, running 30 yards to the end zone and throwing a 40-yard score to Sawyer Hall. Doing major work on both sides of the ball, Morales also picked off two passes. “Levi probably had close to 100 rushing yards,” Byerly said. The Wildcats (3-3) had three INTs in all, including one from Wade Ridenhour. Jeremiah Hernandez and Chris Gonzalez played stellar pass defense as North won its second in a row. “Jeremiah and Chris were locked down on the corners,” he said. “They made quite a few good plays at corner-back.”Notes: The Wildcats blew out the Eagles despite only having 15 players. “We could potentially get one back (Ma-son Sheppard) that could really help us on the defensive line,” Byerly said. “He’s been out since the South Davie game (on Sept. 10).” ... Skyler Nunley had “two great catch-es through big contact,” Byer-ly said. “These last two games he’s really stepped up.” Raised for the COMMUNITY SCHOLARSHIP FUND!

There is some major talent in the top half of the CPC. “East Forsyth has a kid who is going to be a lock as a Power 4 Division-I player,” Brandon said. “Reagan’s got a couple kids who are going to be Division-I Power 4 players. West Forsyth has a couple kids who are going to be Division-I Power 4 players. A lot of people do not realize just how talented the top half of the CPC is. It is an unbelievably talented conference. We have some talented hitters, too, but our specialty is the defensive side of the ball.”The War Eagles’ streak of nine straight winning seasons is in jeopardy. At 7-9, they need to upset West Forsyth this week and get on a run to keep the streak alive. “I’ve seen flashes of re-ally, really good from this team,” she said. “We’re just so darn young that those flashes of good are hidden between some silly and young mistakes.” 336-753-0212 TrellisSupport.org Revenge ... By Brian PittsEnterprise Record The Davie JV volleyball team’s 2-1 home win over East Forsyth on Sept. 24 wasn’t all brilliant. The War Eagles were sloppy in the first set, but in the second set, they decided they were tired of playing with their food. “We probably had 20 er-rors in the first set,” varsity coach Amber Brandon said. “When they are playing well, they are probably one of the more talented JV teams I have seen. They have all the pieces to be really good. I think it’s been a struggle for them with how up and down the level of other JV teams are. And they’re getting really bad at falling into the habit of playing at the level of who’s across the net.”Sophomores Britt Carrier and Hayden Gavura have been huge all season. Davie was wobbly out of the gate in August, but it received a mas-sive boost when Carrier made her belated season debut. “Britt and Hayden have been the leaders the whole JV season,” Brandon said. “Britt missed the first week and we lost the first two games of the season. When Britt got back, that’s when that six-match winning streak happened. It was night-and-day (differ-ence) with her and without her. To me, those first two matches of the season have an asterisk on them in my book because Britt wasn’t there.”Davie doesn’t win 10 of 12 matches - from Aug. 22 through Sept. 24 - without Gavura. “Hayden is a good steady-ing voice on the court,” Bran-don said. “She has a high vol- leyball IQ. She understands the game. She’s played a lot of high-level, competitive volleyball, so she helps calm the storm because we’ve got some freshmen in big roles.”Brandon gave credit to Riley Freeman. “We have a freshman out-side who typically plays six rotations,” she said. “(Free-man) grew up around the game; her dad has coached volleyball at the high school level. She is starting to get more comfortable with the pace of the high school game.”Two days after rallying past East, though, Davie fell in three sets at Reagan. It was a payback win for the Raiders, who lost in two sets at Davie in early September. Davie entered the week 10-6 overall and 8-2 in the conference.

DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Oct. 3, 2024 - B5 Continued From Page B1on downs the next time East had the ball. From the Davie 15, an East ball carrier was met by linebackers Finley Sink and Jackson Meadwell, resulting in a gain of 2. A screen pass to a receiver lost 6 yards as Meadwell came roaring up to make the hit. The next two plays were incomplete passes. “Jackson’s taken to the defense really well,” Pasciolla said. “He does a lot of great things. I think he does a good job reading the offense and going where he’s supposed to go. He’s a really smart kid. “I’m shocked Finley’s a freshman when you look at him. He almost looks like a grown man. He’s a physical specimen and I think he’s going to keep learning and be-come a really special player.”Davie’s second TD was set up by the defense as Cornett picked off a pass near midfield and returned it 37 yards to the East 10. On fourth-and-goal from the 11, Harrison rolled right and unloaded the ball just before a defender caught him from behind. He fired a bullet to the end zone and Bentley snatched it to give Davie the 12-0 lead with 12 seconds left in the first half. The momentum, though, slipped away in the second half. East used a 13-play, 75-yard drive to chop the margin in half, 12-6. Davie botched a punt and gave East the ball on a short field (the Davie 26). The quarterback got around the left end for a 15-yard score. The kick was good as Davie fell behind 13-12. Davie answered to regain the lead. East was flagged for pass interference on back-to-back plays before the drive appeared to stall. But on fourth-and-9, Harrison went deep and connected with Bentley for a 35-yard TD that vaulted Davie ahead 18-13. The unquestioned star of the night was Bentley, who added to his highlight reel while scoring all three TDs in a seven-catch, 125-yard performance. “Jayce definitely is ex-tremely gifted,” Pasciolla said. “I mean, it’s a pretty good bet to send the ball his way. He works through a lot. East Forsyth was playing aggressive press coverage, and they had their hands all over our guys, and all of our receivers did a really good job of fighting them off. Jayce certainly didn’t make it easy on them.”A substantial kickoff re-turn set up East’s offense at the Davie 35, but on second-and-goal from the Davie 4, the quarterback and running back fumbled the exchange and defensive back Ayden Chilton recovered for Davie. Davie, though, couldn’t take advantage, turning it over three plays later. East took over at the Davie 33 and scored in seven plays to take a 19-18 lead with 7:20 to go. East recovered a fumble at the Davie 11, but East coughed it up a few seconds later and Meadwell jumped on it to keep Davie alive. But Davie’s offense was pinned back and a penalty in the end zone resulted in a safety that extended East’s lead to 21-18 with 5:42 remaining. Davie’s defense did force a punt, but the offense could not mount a serious drive in the dying moments. Notes: Davie’s two CPC losses have been by a total of four points. ... Davie had little success on the ground, with Javon Carter running for 27 yards and Cam Knox 26. ... Harrison completed 10 of 22 passes for 168 yards, including two completions to Ian Patton and one to Blake French. ... East gained 215 rushing yards on 49 attempts, and it completed 7 of 16 pass-es for 80 yards. ... Another standout defensive player was freshman safety Max Cor-natzer. “One thing about Max is he loves to hit,” Pasciolla said. “There’s at least once a game where all the coaches go: ‘Oh gosh, who hit that guy?’ And it’s Max usually.” Bentley ...

This Friday is homecoming as Davie hosts Reagan at 7 p.m. By Brian PittsEnterprise Record After averaging 37-over par in the first seven meets of the season, the Davie golf team came out of nowhere with a 14-over 122 at Pine Knolls on Sept. 25. It was Kori Bailey’s day in the sun. The junior shot a ca-reer-best 2-over 38, four shots better than her previous best from Aug. 13 at Oak Valley. It marked Davie’s finest round since Emerson Vanzant’s even 34 at Bermuda Run West in September of 2022. Bailey started her day with an eagle on the par-5 No. 8. She would collect four pars on the day. “She hit a driver and 7-iron to inside two feet and made the putt (for eagle),” coach Bob Donley said. “She was beaming after her round today.”Bailey wasn’t the only War Eagle who caught fire. Sophomore Gwynyth Swan had a career-best 41, shatter-ing her old personal record of 47 at Tanglewood Park on Sept. 4. She birdied the par-4 No. 1 and recorded three pars. “She was extremely steady all through her round and was excited when she realized she had shot 41,” Donley said. And then there was senior Kate Sakai, who turned in a 43 to miss her career low by one stroke (42 at Pine Knolls in September of 2023). She birdied the par-4 No. 7 and had two pars. “She had a tough start and was 4-over after her first three holes,” Donley said. “But she dug in and played the final six holes at 3-over par.“I am so happy for all three of them. They all work very hard at improving their game, and it paid off big today for all three of them.”Davie’s 122 was good for third behind West For-syth’s 107 and Reagan’s 109. Reynolds shot 133 and East Forsyth 166. •••One day earlier at Reyn-olds Park, Sakai shot 10-over 45, Bailey 46 and Swan 48 as Davie finished fourth in the CPC meet. After double bogeying the first three holes, Sakai went par, bogey, par, bogey, par in a span of five holes to lead her team. Bailey put together three straight pars to help Davie stay within striking distance of third place in the conference. The week started with Reynolds standing in third at 692; Davie was at 695. Frontrunner Reagan (577) has a comfortable lead over West Forsyth (596).

Colton was the Junior HOA (High Overall) as well. DC Hunters Porter, Colton and Mason also mined some Silver for Com-pound Archery. Hunter Myers shot a per-fect Shotgun Score (25/25) early in the morning and then finished with the Silver Medal after a late afternoon shootoff.Other Junior competi-tors were Saul Hardy, Peter Young 4-H shooting teams bring home state medals Davie Juniors prepare to complete in archery. Redelsheimer and Walker Evans. They had some good scores and personal bests, but came up short of the po-dium. “The great news is that all of our Juniors have sev-eral years left to compete and there are medals or more medals in all their futures if they stay with it.”The Seniors didn’t strike Gold, but brought home Silver and Bronze. The DC Longhunters consisting of Brantlee Evans, Reece Long, Maddox Nifong and Brook Lockard took the Silver in Muzzleloader and the DC TrailBlazers got the Bronze. The Trailblazers are made up of Riley Barnes. Dakota Wilkinson-Hohf, Levi Wil-liams and Cameron White. Evan Durham, compet-ing as an individual in Open Sight Rifle, scored a Silver and a Bronze.The good news is that Da-vie has a young group of Se-niors, too. The only returning Senior Division (ages 14-18) shooter was Levi and all the others were competing for the first time in the State Tournament as Seniors. “We have a phenome-nal group of kids that are so fun to work with and I look forward to seeing them ma-ture, improve and progress in shooting sports,” Cowden said.Special thanks to Rifle Coach Em Cheramie who made the drive from Ken-tucky. Steve Carson is the archery coach.“Thanks to all of our par-ents, grandparents, siblings and others who help.

The Literary Corner: Renegade Writer’s Guild Blance Hanes ClementBy Linda H. BarnetteAnother of my favorite childhood people was Mrs. Blanche Hanes Clement, who was the librarian when the li-brary was uptown on the ground floor of the Davie County Office Building. As an only child, I found great pleasure in reading and was at some point allowed to walk up to the library. One day when I was 12 or 13, I was looking through the collection trying to find something to check out. Mrs. Clement came over and said, “You have read about everything we have. Would you like to try “War and Peace”? I do not remember if I checked it out that day or not, but I did read it. Obviously, the fact that I recall her comment lets me know that it made a huge impres-sion on me. She was the librarian until the late 1950’s, and she was also a teacher. In looks she was a tall and stately looking.Another thing that she did was to carefully record the history of First Methodist Church. Many of the notes that I have gone through are hers. My feeling is that she transcribed Miss Mary Heitman’s hand-written notes, but I don’t know that for sure. Thank goodness for people like those two ladies without which history would be lost to time. Because of their work, we can pass down information to younger generations.We know that she also was a friend of Miss Flossie Martin from a footnote in Mr. Wall’s book. In a discussion of where Lydia Morgan, an early settler, was buried in Joppa, it says, “In the 1930’s Miss Flossie Martin and Miss Blanche Hanes Clement read the date as 1742.” Therefore, it is no surprise that she wrote much of the history of First Methodist Church.Mrs. Clement was the daughter of Philip Hanes and Sallie Booe. After ill health forced him to retire from his tobacco company in Winston, Mr. and Mrs. Hanes moved to Mocks-ville and built one of our loveliest homes, which still stands and is lived in on North Main Street. After the death of her parents, she and her sister, Jane Crowe, inherited the house. Now it is no longer in the family but remains a beautiful home here.We are all influenced by so many people. A Work in ProgressBy Stephanie Williams Dean“This apron belonged to my grandmother, but she never finished it.” My friend, Pam, held the sheer apron away from her dress so I could get a better look. One pocket was partially sewn – held together with a straight pin. After her grandmother died, there were many aprons to be given away. Pam chose the apron that wasn’t finished. “It’s a work in progress,” I said. Those words tumbled from my mouth – the Spirit inform-ing me and inspiring this writing with words He gave me – “a work in progress.”I’m a spiritual work in progress – we all are!If you’re not a work in progress – you have a problem. And if you never look at yourself objectively – that’s another problem. If you can’t fill up a page with spiritual shortcom-ings – you’ve got an even bigger issue. I can list a full page of my own – and no one has fewer. People lack awareness. Our faith has not matured – we are spiritually immature. We are merely a patchwork of failures, sin, and spiritual shortcomings – so poorly held together like the apron’s pock-et with a straight pin. We’re just barely holding it together to get through another day. We don’t have everything sewn up – we’re far from finished. Some folks are like that loose pocket – they’re not fully engaged in God’s mission and are disconnected from God. When separated from God, we feel spiritually empty – and like the pocket, we’re barely hanging on. We’re not close to completion. There’s additional spiritual work to be done. Just like Pam’s apron – we’re still a work in progress. But our spiritual growth and maturity will continue until we’re finished.Rest assured that God does not do anything halfway. What He begins, He will finish. He does not bring anyone to a true saving union with Christ by faith only to abandon them. No matter how pieced together or unfinished we are, God has the design and pattern – one that is not yet finished. Be confi-dent that God began a good work in you, and He will carry it through to completion. Scripture tells us “He will continue his work until it is fi-nally finished on the day when Jesus Christ returns.” When you die or Christ returns, we will be finished – we will no longer be a work in progress. Want to hear more good news? You still have today to work on it. Road TripBy E. BishopDay three and four of our Christian Tours trip was spent in Stowe, Vt. and nearby attractions. Just as I had imagined, beautiful hills and valleys with maples just beginning to turn red. Free time was spent in downtown Stowe to explore the art scene, museum and restaurants. They also let us loose at the Vermont Country Store in Weston. It is as jam packed as you might think it would be. All good, just be prepared to let go of some of that cash in your wallet.The 50-year-old Cold Hollow Cider Mill, one of the most visited attractions in Vermont, showed us the rich agricultural history and the traditional cider-making technique utilizing century old rack and cloth press. All of this, plus a bakery, retail store and cafe, was housed in a 19th century farmhouse and historic dairy barn where a sample of cider was available while watching the apples being pressed. Warm cider donuts too, yum.The Trapp Family Lodge Vermont Getaway did not dis-appoint. On the bus ride up, a refresher course (Sound of Music) on the von Trapp story was shown. The movie was embellished quite a bit but the actual truths were still quite compelling after reading and watching an actual documentary by Maria that the hotel graciously offered to show us. Maria was born in Vienna, Austria in 1905, orphaned at a young age and raised by an abusive relative. At 18, she en-tered the monastery to become a nun but found herself loaned out to become a tutor to one of the seven children of Baron von Trapp. This is where the story really begins for the Trapp family. The Baron and Maria marry, eventually having three children of their own. Due to the Nazi invasion, in 1938 they flee Austria for Italy, then to England and finally to the United States. Maria stated they only had four dollars on them when they came to the U.S. but somehow they made it.Indeed, they did make it by touring the world giving con-cert performances. In the 1940s, they moved to Stow on a 300-acre farm to put down roots, because as the Baron said, “it looked so much like his beloved Austria.” They ran a mu-sic camp there when they were not touring and they generous-ly donated to the needy communities back in their homeland.The original Trapp Family Lodge opened in 1950, when the von Trapp family began hosting guests in their family home. In 1980, the lodge burned completely down and was replaced by a 96 room lodge that is now situated on 2600 beautiful acres that guests are invited to explore. Carriage rides are offered during warm weather; sleigh rides in the winter, hiking/ski trails, and has an indoor state of the art fit-ness center. Plans are to add a winery soon.A family cemetery is located nearby where Maria and the Baron are buried, along with five of the children. The proper-ty is still owned and operated by the Trapp family. If you get a chance ,visit Vermont, plan to stay a few days to enjoy all that is offered; you won’t regret it.
