Following a presentation from Jessie Folger, executive direc-tor of Habitat for Humanity of Davie County, in this month’s town council meeting, Mayor Mike Brannon announced that he wanted to “call an audible” and have Sheriff JD Hartman come forward and share updates pertinent to the town.“We have worked together on a project to enhance our ability to serve the town,” Hartman said. “So the town is going to help us with a little bit of additional funding for our contract, and that will buy some equipment that will allow us to investigate cases a little better. “It is equipment that will help us move faster to respond to, for example, Kinderton had the car break-ins just recently. It would have enhanced our ability to respond to that. With those pieces of equipment, we have 10 of those around the county outside the city, but we’re going to have five inside the city of limits here in Bermu-da Run.” By Stephanie DeanFor the Enterprise Born in Yadkin County in1934, Luther Chandler was born with an ear for music and a bit of Irish in his blood. His paternal grandfather played a few tunes, but as far as Luther’s love for music, the mu-sician gave credit to his mother’s side of the family. “I reckon it was my two uncles who played music and traveled all the time.”But it’s not just his ear for music or the blood of the Irish that has earned this talented man success. He’s got music in his soul. Looking in life’s rearview mirror, Luther summed it up:“I just enjoyed it because you learn from it. You hear tunes you never tried to pick and learn new ones. When I first started playing, it was for small crowds and then as I went on, I played for up to 100,000 people while in the band – like at Union Grove – and others had 50-60,000 people seated and many more standing up.” As a youngster, Luther bene-fited from a mentoring musician. When about 9, Luther met Jerry Casstevens when he began playing mandolin with his band. At that time, Jerry was 30 and played locally. The band didn’t travel much.“We played for restaurants back then ... and we’d jam in Jerry’s yard and people would come listen.” Jerry believed in Luther and thought the boy had talent – way more than Luther ever realized You can’t stop those annoying political commercials on tele-vision, but if you’ve made your mind up, you can cast your bal-lot in the 2024 election starting Thursday, Oct. 17.Photo IDs will be required to cast a ballot, and any registered voter in Davie County can vote early at any of the following lo-cations:• Board of Elections office, 161 Poplar St., Mocksville (back of Brock building);• Bermuda Run Town Hall, 1200 Kinderton Blvd. Suite 100; and• Jerusalem Volunteer Fire Dept., 7185 NC 801 S., Mocks-ville.Times will be the same for all locations: Monday-Friday, 8 a.m.-7:30 p.m.; Saturdays Oct. 19 and 26 and Nov. 2, 8 a.m.-3 p.m. There are few challengers in local races, with Libertarian Jus-tin Vocke challenging Republican incumbents Mark Jones, Richard B. Poindexter and Terry Ren-egar for three spots on the Davie County Board of Commissioners.Running unopposed for four spots on the Davie County Board of Education are all Republicans - Michael Hunter, Stephanie Hurst, Jeff Jones and W.G. “Dub” Potts; while Kelly Cozart Funderburk is running unopposed as the Repub-lican candidate for Davie County Register of Deeds. Early voting begins Thursday at the time. Being a good banjo picker and teacher, Jerry was an inspiration to Luther, and that proved valuable later in the young boy’s life. “I still have some tapes of Jerry. He encouraged me to keep growing and learning.” After Jerry had gotten older and quit picking the banjo, Lu-ther was approached by another banjo player named Larry Rich-ardson from Galax, Va. Larry invited Luther to play with his band, The Bluegrass Group. “That’s where I really began to learn music was with him. We played more. I just began to learn from anyone who could pick and began growing into it.” When in his early 20s, Luther formed his own group, perform-ing with Wayne Tucker from Jonesville. They picked together for 5-6 years in a band called Carolina Grass, primarily playing for music clubs and restaurants around Yadkinville.And then came the Lincoln County Partners – the last band Luther played with. From Hick-ory, the bluegrass band traveled all over the United States except California. While Luther was known for his mandolin picking, he also played guitar and a little fiddle, although he never felt good enough at fiddle to play in a band. The band cut records and recorded tapes over the next 20 years while Luther played and traveled with them. As Luther and I talked about his musical career – an old Lin-coln County Partners LP circled Luther Chandler with some of the trophies and awards he has earned in his musical ca- reer. - Photo by Stephanie Dean Scene & Heard Luther Chandler has music in his soul Please See Music - Page 4Eyes on you Town working with sheriff to add surveillance cameras Brannon replied that the town looks forward to working with the sheriff’s office on this initiative with a timeline of it going into effect this month.“Obviously for our friends in Kinderton, we would have prob-ably liked to have had that 45 days ago,” he said, “but it’s a great partnership that we have with your office and with you. For those in audience tonight, in case you’re wondering if it seems like the language here is a little covert, that’s by design. The goal is not to give specificity other than what the sheriff has shared in terms of the equipment and what the goals are for that.”Brannon later offered more clarity on the subject.“Given this technology is deployed and managed by the sheriff's office and not the town, I wanted to defer to the sheriff to decide how much he wanted to share about this new technology and the placement of this equipment,” he said. “After the meeting, Sheriff Hartman did agree that we could share that this equipment is a new camera network.”Hartman gave some examples of the impact this has made in the county.

Tell us what you think Let us appreciate what we have in Davie To the editor:Growing up in 1960s and 1970s West Virginia, it was a the time of change from innocence into a larger, more chaotic and connected world. However, not nearly as chaotic, con-nected and small as the world is now.We went to college in West Virginia. Got married. Lived in Indiana then Ohio. And when the chance came to move to North Carolina, we jumped on it.But why Mocksville and Davie County? We could have lived anywhere from Asheville to Greens-boro. But Mocksville felt like the town of my childhood. Beautiful. Safe. Tight-knit. Well-kept. Not too big. Parades. A beautiful small downtown. Ice Cream shop. Restaurants. Coffee shop. The Bed Races. Wonderful parks. Not perfect. But the right combination of excellent attributes.And kind people. And in the end, it’s really the people that matter.Winston Salem and Greensboro were just too big. Ashe-ville was too expensive. But Mocksville is just right.Bounded to the west by I-77, to the south by I-85, and to the east by I-73 and 74. The main street of interstate travel runs right through it. We have mountains 2 hours to the west and the beaches within 4 hours to the east. Surrounded by large cities and easy travel, but with the southern small town feel that draws people to easy living.We found good schools. A public who cares about their county and towns. And a church family (thank you Hillsdale Baptist) who became our family. We feel at home and blessed.Davie County and Mocksville are growing. And yes, with growth comes growing pains. But with this location - the sol-id foundation of business, government, churches and excel-lent folks – the confluence of opportunity and growth create a sense of future. Everything changes. Including our wonderful town.But let us appreciate what we have. Let's work together to keep the character that previous generations have cultivated. Let’s change what we need to, plan for the future, and keep Davie County as a place where people and business want to be.Michael Beaty, Mocksville To the editor:Sometimes, change is good ... and sometimes not.Changing “The Oaks Festival” to “Autumn Equinox Fes-tival” makes no sense at all and yes, I do know what equinox means.Lois FeltsMocksville Festival was fine as ‘The Oaks’ To the editor:We had 81% of registered voters in Davie County vote in the 2020 election. That’s a significantly higher number than turned out nationally, only 66%. Still, that was the highest national number since the1900 election.While voting is important, being an informed voter is more important. Voting is like going to doctor when you know you have a problem and are looking for treatment. The treatment you get is more likely to be successful if you have looked at some of your options before talking with your doctor. You never want a treatment that is worse than the problem.My wife and I make a list of what is important to us and then evaluate where the major candidates stand on issues which includes looking at the fact-checking of their state-ments. I would never dream of telling her how to vote, but being a smart Southern lady, she is well informed, and I cer-tainly listen to her opinions.I graduated from a military school with a motto of “Truth, Honor, and Duty.” My college’s motto was “Veritas” which is Latin for truth. Then there was my mother who always guar-anteed me that telling the truth was the safest course of action under any circumstance.I do not seek to tell anyone how to vote but I do want to share my priorities. Yours are likely different but maybe my list will help you put together your own list and if you thought about it before voting, I will have achieved my goal.Facebook is not a reliable source for information, but I still love good newspapers where the truth is valued. I am sensi-tive to the power of the press, but I am also respectful of the duty a writer who must get the facts right. Here are the characteristics that I am looking for in our next President.1. Respect our constitution and our system of government.My college years were spent studying colonial American and British history when our Declaration of Independence and Constitution were written. 2. Respect for the truth - some might stretch the truth but those who attack the truth with lies won’t get my vote. In the same vein, I have zero tolerance for those who push conspir-acy theories and that includes those creating confusion with lies while trying to gain political advantage.3. Belief in the power of government to do good. I am no fool. I realize that not everything done by government is the best solution. However, I do believe government has been a positive influence. Roads, schools, police, libraries, research and a military to protect us all are benefits the government bring to us. The government also brings help in times of di-saster and pandemics. Programs like Medicare, Social Securi-ty, and the Affordable Care Act benefit many of us.4. An understanding of how government works. Often government is demonized and when someone is elected who does this and doesn’t know how it works, little gets done.5. A belief in the sanctity of our institutions. Certain pro-cesses, like elections and their certifications, have kept this country going since our founding fathers stood it up in 1789. I have no use for people who try to tear apart our government or disrespect its institutions. 6. A willingness to compromise and reach across the aisle. My way or the highway does not work in an evenly split country. The government would not be open today without recent bipartisan support of the last continuing resolution.7. The mental capacity to handle the world’s toughest job. Someone who becomes President must be clear-headed, intel-ligent, articulate and capable of debating the issues and other leaders. They must be able to make a compelling case for what is right for the country.8. The ability to focus on the issue at hand. It is critical that our President be able to zone out distractions and focus on the important things that need fixing. Carrying grudges and seeking to settle scores is not part of the job.9. The ability to handle a crisis. Whether the crisis in the Middle East, Ukraine, or the next pandemic, I want someone as President who is tough, thoughtful, and willing to stand up for American values and work with our allies to protect our world. Being hotheaded, vindictive, or petty are disqualifying traits as is the lack of courage to stand up to Vladmir Putin and other murderous tyrants.10. Belief in science, progress and the people of this coun-try. We face many undeniable issues like climate change, adapting our agriculture to changes in the world, hardening our infrastructure, healthcare, and preparing for the next pan-demic. Anyone who denies the power of vaccines is disqual-ified. I grew up in the 50s and remember polio and the first vaccines for it. No one questioned the need.11. A refusal to demonize others. I have zero tolerance for leaders who demonize other people for the color of their skins, the way they speak, where they are from, or what they do. 12. A willingness to put the needs of the country before self. Someone who looks at the Office of the President as way to enrich himself or herself and friends is not presidential material. The ability for self-sacrifice and the commitment to help everyone no matter their politics is important. Using the government to enrich yourselves, family, and corporations is a disqualifying trait.The issues that matter to us are listed below.1. Our economy/Inflation. We are part of booming econo-my in Davie. Much of the country is experiencing the same. The wizards at the federal reserve have managed bring infla-tion down to 2.2% without a recession. Our current economy is the envy of the western world. I do not want someone who seeks to fundamentally change it. We should just tweak it to make it fairer. The rich are already rich enough. At the state level we do not need to back to the bathroom bill days.2. Healthcare/Medicare/Affordable Care Act. I am not stupid. I know which party tried 70 times to repeal, modi-fy or otherwise curb the Affordable Care Act. I do not trust that party on any medical care issues. I am pleased to finally see the government using its negotiating power to lower pre-scription drug costs after years of that being blocked by the same party that tried to kill ACA. Before Medicare we were on ACA, and it saved us thousands of dollars a year. I believe everyone has a right to affordable healthcare.3. Taxes. I have been working and paying taxes for 55 years. I believe everyone should pay their fair share. I am not impressed with people who brag about not paying taxes while driving on the roads which I helped finance. No one who makes a lot of money and that includes corporations should escape paying their fair share. 4. Social Security. I have paid into it my whole life. Our family like many others depend on Social Security. I expect the next President to protect it and enhance it.5. Immigration/Border. I believe the best solution to illegal immigration is to provide a better and more open legal path for immigration. Much like prohibition led to a thriving trade in illegal alcohol, I suspect the difficulty of finding a legal way into the US has led to all sorts of illegal activities. I also support the tough bi-partisan immigration bill that killed by one of the candidates this spring to provide a campaign issue. The border bill provided the improved security that we need. 6. Tariffs. Where possible we should work to eliminate tariffs which have proved to be an expensive solution. Every study I have seen shows that consumer costs increase with tariffs. The last thing our country needs is more tariffs and more trade wars. It cost our country $66B to compensate farmers for lost markets during the last trade war. There are better ways to use our tax dollars.7. Deficit. I am looking for the candidate with the best pro-posals whose programs will raise the deficit the least.8. Voting Rights. Citizens have a right to vote. Making it harder to vote is only a way to keep some people voting so another can win an election unfairly. I also believe we need bi-partisan committees to do redistricting. I also in favor of scrapping the outdated electoral college system.9. Abortion. I would like to see Roe vs Wade reinstated with consistent common-sense regulations. A patchwork quilt of regulations is already resulting in the needless death of women. Neither I nor the government should be telling wom-en what to do with their bodies. Where people have had a chance to vote the right to abortion has been enshrined in law.10. Military. We have the most powerful military in the world. We need to keep it strong, but we should do a better shop of reintegrating soldiers into society while making sure that injured soldiers receive the best of care.11. Supreme Court/Congress. Both need term limits and reform. We should have a national debate on both.12. Police/Crime. We feel as safe as we ever have in our lives that includes the 16 years I lived in Canada where gun deaths were almost unheard of. I own a shotgun and believe in the right to defend myself. I do not think anyone needs an assault rifle to protect themselves, for target practice, or for hunting. Go vote but be informed about your choices before you make them.David SobottaMocksville Don’t just vote; be an informed voter By Mike WaldenNCSU Recently the Federal Reserve (the Fed) made headlines by reducing its interest rate for the first time since 2020. Most analysts applauded the cut, and households - especially those looking to borrow money - enjoyed a jolt of optimism.Before you can decide what this means, and whether you should be smiling or frowning, a number of questions need to be answered. Why did the Fed change its rate? What reasons did the Fed have to reduce the rate? Are more cuts coming? What does the cut mean for the health of the economy? How does the cut affect the timing of big-ticket (home or vehicle) purchases? How does the Fed’s move impact investments? The Fed has a mandate from Congress to guide the econo-my to two objectives: a low inflation rate and low unemploy-ment rate. The Fed has two tools to achieve these goals: influ-ence over interest rates and influence over the money supply.The challenge is that the two goals are often incompatible. A slow-growing economy usually leads to a lower inflation rate, but also to a higher jobless rate. In contrast, a fast-grow-ing economy will generate more jobs and less unemployment, yet there is a risk rapid economic growth will lead to higher prices. Hence, while the Fed wants to achieve both modest price increases and low unemployment, it usually gives prior-ity to only one of these goals.During the height of COVID-19 in 2020, it was clear what the Fed’s goal was - get the economy growing after the COVID recession when the jobless rate reached 14%. Hence, the Fed pushed the key interest rate to zero and expanded the money supply by trillions of dollars. With the benefit of hindsight, we now know the Fed kept their foot on the economic accelerator for too long. With con-sumer buying sharply increasing but supply-chain problems keeping shelves partially bare, the inflation rate began rising in 2021. Therefore, in 2022 the Fed shifted its focus to curtail-ing inflation by raising the key interest rate and pulling cash out of the economy. In under a year, the Fed raised the interest rate by over five percentage points. Consumer interest rates such as those for mortgages and credit cards jumped.The Fed has been in anti-inflation mode until the recent meeting when the Fed board announced a one-half percent-age point cut in the interest rate. Also, the Fed is decreasing the money supply. With the annual inflation rate approaching the Fed’s goal of 2%, combined with indications of slower economic growth, reduced consumer confidence and an up-ward trend in the unemployment rate, the Fed is shifting its focus to the mandate of low unemployment. On a practical level, what does the Fed’s policy mean? It means the Fed has some worry about the health of the econ-omy. The Fed has been able to achieve a lower inflation rate without plunging the economy into a recession. This is un-usual because it is rare. Forty years ago when we had a sim-ilar inflation challenge, it took a severe recession to bring the inflation rate to a normal level. Although in a minority, some economists are still predicting a recession.Fed Chair Jay Powell did hint that more interest rate cuts would be coming, possibly totaling a full percentage point by the end of 2025. The implication is that for those wanting to borrow, the low point in interest rates is likely not yet here. Do all interest rates move in lockstep with the Fed’s rate? Not necessarily. Financial conditions in individual markets, such as the homebuying market, vehicle purchases and per-sonal credit, also affect interest rates. It’s important to realize individual interest rates can move in anticipation of what the Fed is expected to do. This hap-pened with mortgage rates, which fell weeks before the Fed’s anticipated rate cut. Much of the media coverage of the Fed’s rate cut has fo-cused on how it will help borrowers. While important, the Fed’s policy also affects investment markets. For example, certificates of deposit (CDs) are popular low-risk investments. Expect those rates to fall as the Fed’s interest rate drops. The relationship between the stock market and the Fed’s interest rate is more complicated and depends on how inves-tors interpret the Fed. If investors expect a Fed rate cut to lower the costs to businesses of borrowing, allowing them to sell more and earn higher profits, then a lower Fed interest rate should cause stock values to trend higher.But the opposite could occur. If investors interpret a Fed rate cut as occurring because the Fed is worried about an im-pending recession, stock values could fall, especially if the economy weakens after the rate reduction is announced.While the Fed’s rate cut looks like a good move, when the reasons behind the cut, what it implies about the economy and the uncertain impacts on investments are considered, the reduction could be a net plus or it could be a net minus. Both you and I will have to decide.Mike Walden is a William Neal Reynolds Distinguished Professor Emeritus at North Carolina State University. What does Fed rate cut mean?

To the editor:The following is a statement from retired Gen. Paul Eaton."Add me to the ranks of retired flag of-ficers who believe that Donald Trump is in-deed fascist to the core.:For a four star Army General to use such language is extraordinary. Words like "fas-cist" aren't tossed around lightly in the mil-itary, especially from top-ranking Generals. We're all acutely aware of those who came before us and fought World War II to stop the March of fascisim. We saw the horrors of fas-cism and what it unleashes on innocent peo-ple. We know how it kills Democracies like To the editor:Sarah Taber is running for NC Commis-sioner of Agriculture. I met and heard Sarah Taber and I’m impressed. She is a Fayette-ville- based farm operations specialist run-ning for NC Commissioner of Agriculture to grow our farm sector and build a working countryside that works for everyone. Her roots in agriculture run deep. Born to a military family with roots in Harlan Coun-ty, Ky., she helped operate her family’s small holdings and took field, garment shop, and factory jobs to pay for school. Sarah Taber is raising her family in Fay-etteville, where her husband teaches at Fay-etteville State. Taber earned a bachelor’s de-gree from Brigham Young University and a doctoral degree in plant medicine from the University of Florida. At a young age, Sarah learned that ro-manticizing farms doesn’t put food on the ta-ble. Agriculture has to be a viable livelihood or it’s just not worth doing. Dr. Taber, a crop scientist and expert in food supply chains, safety, and infrastructure, has spent the last 10 years specializing in farm operations, Voters only guardrails against facism It’s time to change state’s agriculture commissioner helping clients build agricultural businesses that are worth $4 billion today. This experi-ence as an agricultural leader taught her how to bring new people and perspectives into agriculture. Failure is common in the highly compet-itive greenhouse sector; but all of Taber’s farm clients are still in operation, including those who began with little or no experience in agriculture. All too often, our leaders treat the loss of farms and farmers as inevitable. But she says it’s not.Sarah states North Carolina has long been a rural state. Some fear that as our popula-tion grows, agriculture will lose its position as our state’s top industry. And there’s good reason for concern: our state’s farm sector has been declining for 20 years. But there are two important things to keep in mind. The Taber campaign states “Peo-ple are ready for change,” Taber explained. “For many years now, our farms’ income has lagged behind their peers in Georgia, Iowa, and Virginia. The economy in many of our rural areas is suffering as a result. The farm-ers in North Carolina’s rich countryside face the same market, weather, and soil conditions as they do in Georgia and Virginia. But our neighbors are earning up to twice as much per acre as we are.” She says we can do better. There are so many opportunities for North Carolina agri-culture to reverse its decline and start a vi-brant new life. But to get there, we have to face the fact that our farm sector is underper-forming. It’s leaders’ job to be honest about where we are, and map out a better future. SAfter 20 years with the same commission-er of agriculture, is North Carolinians ready for a change?Deb StrubeAdvance the one we swear to defend from all enemies, foreign and domestic. You have people like General Milley who are telling voters that Donald Trump will usher in an era of fascist America. Voters are going to have to decide whether they are go-ing to help that happen. In so many countries throughout history, we have seen fascism take hold only because voters enabled it to take hold. “Voters are the ultimate guardrail against fascism. If the voters fail, so will the Repub-lic. And God save us all if that happens."David CarrollMocksville To the editor:Fred Voreh's concern for the future of public schools is valid, and distressing. But he doesn't go far enough in proposing a rem-edy.I believe, having studied considerable 20th century American history, and lived a lot of it, that one of the primary drivers of America's rise and prosperity was the policy of mandatory, universal, secular, public ed-ucation. When all children were taught and tested on a generally similar and agreed upon curriculum, it produced a population ground-ed in common civic understanding and pre-pared for their next stage of life.There were surely problems that produced serious disparities - segregation, unequal funding and resources. Those issues were ad-dressed, if not satisfactorily solved. But the effort continued.And those families that desired religious education had options available that were supplemental to, but did not impinge upon, secular education.There have been notable successes in charter schools, and they should be accom-modated - but secular schools only. That is the only legitimate option for public, taxpay-er funds.When all children are in the same public school boat, motivated parents will, as al-ways, become involved in promoting high quality teaching, cutting edge resources, and a wide variety of extracurricular activities - to the benefit of all children. Sen. John Edwards used to speak of "two Americas" before his public career crashed. He was right, and no one else has taken up the torch.The first step is to give every child the same, top quality, start in life - together.Jerry Cohen, Advance Secular education important in US To the editor:You appropriately call our letters In the mail…; another area paper calls them The Readers’ Forum and places them on the opin-ion page. Both have letters filled with opin-ions; now much emphasis is being put on the upcoming election. Some even tell us how to vote or who to vote for; this has spurred my letter. Opinion is defined, in the New Oxford American Dictionary, as a view or judge-ment formed not necessarily based on facts or knowledge.When I go to the polls, I will be relying on my own research rather than endorsements, ads, soundbites, etc. and definitely not on TV and social media to influence my decisions. I will not toe a party line; instead, I will let my conscience and my convictions be my guide regarding candidates and issues like voting no for the ammendment. One of the biggest elephants in the room will be a contributing factor on who wins at the top of the ticket. Being pro-life, for me, means I wish for agape love and the wellbe-ing of the once born from the cradle to the grave. In my opinion, this wellbeing includes a quality education, good healthcare, afford-able housing, job protection and their consti-tutional rights. I consider it my patriotic duty to advocate for the above. What I am against is a proposal in Project 2025, along with numerous other proposals, to raise in my taxes to reduce the taxes of the 1% and big corporations. Why would proponents of Project 2025 propose to eliminate Head Start? As a for-mer public school teacher who worked with teams teaching to the whole child, the goal was to provide the foundation needed for him or her to reach their full potential- not indoc-trinate. The role of family and community in the child’s wellbeing is also emphasized in teaching to the whole child. Agape love for the once born recognizes the need for good child care and preschool preparation for all God’s children. The growing distrust in insti-tutions is troubling.Why would the proponents of Project 2025 include tampering with health care: blocking the government from negotiating for lower drug prices; eliminating out-of-pocket Medi-care drug cost limits for thousands of North Carolinians; plus, pushing millions off Medi-care to find other options. Why deregulate some businesses and industries that cause us and the earth harm while eliminating and de-funding agencies that protect us? Who’s behind all this? The first subtitle of the document Burning Down Washington to Save America had a picture of a match on the cover.Taking Back Washington to Save Ameri-ca became the new subtitle. Paul Dans (who according to Wikipedia, was fired on July 25) led the Project for the Heritage Foundation’s mission to reshape the federal government as part of the 2025 presidential transition. Kevin Roberts, president of the Foundation, has a friend on the November ballot who echoed Robert’s words: “It’s time to circle the wag-ons and load the muskets” when he wrote the Foreword to Project 2025. What rhetoric.Is it too late to save our Democratic Re-public? Anyone who has read Tim Synder’s little book “On Tyranny” has already seen how close we’ve come, by looking back at other countries and other times in history, such as trust in an authoritarian personality; destruction of institutions announced in ad-vance; symbols of hate and divisive tactics; believing in lies, disinformation and propa-ganda instead of facts and truth. Synder also said to be calm when the unthinkable comes and don’t fall for political opportunities.When On Tyranny was published in 2017, who could have fathomed one of Synder’s 20 lessons would add to the havoc of the dev-astation already in our N.C. mountains? It’s Lesson #6: Be wary of paramilitaries - men with guns who are against the system. Today (Oct. 14) CNN reported FEMA paused work over the weekend at several mountain loca-tions due to reports National Guard Troops had seen armed militia, no doubt influenced by misinformation threatening their workers. This was confirmed and a suspect was arrest-ed.Who would have thought our polarization would have brought us to this point. I’ve seen it in many places but one of the places I least expected it was on one of my favorite radio stations ever. One would expect a Christian Broadcast Network to be politically neutral.However, I began to notice it was broadcast-ing lies in what was supposed to be news. Finding SRN News is owned by Salem me-dia Group with over 2,000 affiliates showed me it’s influence. Add that to other television and social media platforms and see the im-pact on the election.Looking at the 100 some coalition part-ners, including one which has made the news for banning books, one would assume they agree with all policy agenda and the 180 Day Playbook and Roadmap.

Luther’s proud of the two songs he wrote – “Memories I Used to Own” and “Just to Know” – both on the band's record album called “Water So Cold.” “We were offered to go to Canada and play, but our band leader said no, so we didn’t go. I don’t know why he didn’t want to go to Can-ada. Maybe the main reason was we had to pay to get in. Our band leader, JD Setzer, was from Hickory. We all agreed that he was our band leader, and we did what he said to do.” And JD Setzer had a bus. So when the band went anywhere, they took his bus. Luther played in his final band around the year 2012. Somewhere along the road, Luther took just enough time off to fall in love and tie the knot. He married his first wife, Rita, and they were married for about 25 years. The front and back of the album for the band, Lincoln County Partners LP “Water So Cold.” Two of the songs were written by Luther Chandler, “Memories I Used to Own” and “Just to Know.” At right, Luther hangs out with friend Bobby Osborne from The Osborne Brothers. Music ... Married life suited Luther. The fact that he and Rita are still friends today says a lot about enduring love. She still calls to check on him. He reminisced a favorite memory.“Rita went with me on the bus once and we went to Nashville, Tenn. to the Grand Ole Opry.”Luther opened up about his personal feelings and the downfalls of being on the road all the time. Even though the money was good and the couple bought a home, the travel took a toll on the marriage. To this day, he says travel was a struggle. There was a price to pay, and for that, Luther has regrets.“I would change going all over the United States because that had a lot of effect on my marriage. I have regrets that I traveled so much and was gone all the time. I missed Rita when I was gone, but I didn’t want to quit my music. I let my music get in the way. I couldn’t give my music up because I’d grown up with it and played it all those years.”Luther moved to Mocks-ville in 1963 to work on sewing machines at a local business. It was here, he got a second chance at love. After seven years of living the single life, Luther met and later married, Diane. Together they had a son, Tommy Chandler, another local, well-known musician. Luther lost his wife after 31 years of marriage when Diane passed away in 2020. But Luther hasn’t forgotten some of their many good times.“Diane loved bluegrass, but she couldn’t pick. She went with me a whole lot. We went different places. We went to a place over in Statesville and one up next to Hickory when I was playing a show.” According to Luther, besides being good for his soul, music made many pos-itive contributions towards living a good life. “Music bought me my home and my cars. I’ve had about three new cars. I paid cash for them and the house. Music’s done a lot for me. I have not bought anything that I haven’t paid cash for. My favorite performances were the festivals when you got paid good to be the lead band. When we played for shows. We’d get paid anywhere from 4,000-5,000 dollars to play.”Luther grinned while sharing a moment in his musical career of which he wasn’t pleased– but if the truth be known – deep down, he was most proud.“We went to a fiddler’s convention up in Virginia, and I was pickin’ mandolin. Well, I won first place in mandolin, and a man came up to me and suggested I play guitar. He gave me a guitar – a Martin – so I ac-cepted. I went on stage and played a tune. And when they called the winners out – I had won both mandolin and guitar. And the guitar player in my band got so mad he could hardly stand it.”One notable moment still sticks out in Luther’s memory. Just talking about it elicited a big smile.“I played on stage at the old, Grand Ole Opry in downtown Nashville with Sonny and Bobby Osborne. The Osborne Brothers. I was in their band for almost a year and played guitar. Bob-by was my best friend.”Bobby and Sonny Osborne were two famous bluegrass musicians from Kentucky, later Nashville. In addition, Luther played a lot of festivals with Bobby where they’d pick together. But there comes a time when every musician has to develop his or her personal style “I was picking at a festival,and I’d known Bill Monroe for years. I liked him, so I kind of played his style when I first started.”But later, Monroe told Luther, “You’re doing good, but get your own style.” A few months later at a festival, Bill noted: “I see you’ve learned your own style.” “I couldn’t find my own style. So I worked on it and finally got my style, and then other mandolin players tried to pick my style. Many saw me play at festivals – and they’d ask, ‘Where’d you learn that style’?”Luther answered that it was his own. At one point, Bobby Osbourn told Luther that he considered his way to be the best he’d ever heard. “I played chops when the banjo or fiddle was the lead picker, whatever, but my style was more leading with the melody. When I learned my own style, I played it different. It sounded like the song, but I added my notes.”The accomplished mu-sician will be 90 on Oct. 24 and he still plays the man-dolin for his own enjoyment when at home.Does he wish for a few do-overs? Sure.But, while the music is still in his soul, the hands don’t want to cooperate. “I’m trying to do it over now, trying to get back to where I used to be on the mandolin. I can’t play fast anymore. If I hadn’t quit, and laid it down, I’d still be picking fast. My hands got arthritis in them and that’s why I stopped pickin’ a couple years ago. “If you learn it and love it, you don’t ever want to give it up. I still play the mandolin, but I can’t play fast like I used to. I can still remember where every note is. I try to pick some every day because I love it.” Luther had a few things to say to folks who want to begin playing music. “I’d tell them to learn, but know that traveling will wear you out. That’s what I tell Tommy all the time, but he’s a fine guitar picker. I reckon he got it from me, the love of music and pickin’. When I showed him how to play a guitar, he picked it up and just loved it. He started out with mandolin and then he started taking lessons banjo with Kip (Snow).” And so, Luther’s musical legacy has passed down.“It was in my blood – I reckon. because my two uncles played all the time and played here and yonder. I loved the way they played. It got in my blood.” It’s good to know that Luther’s ear for music, a bit of Irish in his blood, and his musical legacy will continue to live on. Continued From Page 1“Just in 2024, it’s assisted us to recover 14 stolen vehi-cles, 11 stolen license plants, located three missing per-sons and recover three stolen firearms in addition to locat-ing multiple wanted people and solving several larceny cases,” Hartman said, “So that equipment will be in-strumental in helping us.”Brannon later said that the new equipment discussed “will be around $15,000 in increased annual cost” to the current community officer program with the sheriff’s office that has a price tag of approximately $98,000 per year. That program was started in 2017 and renewed in November 2022 for five years.“We initiated discussions with Sheriff Hartman earlier this year on opportunities for improvements in technolo-gy,” Brannon said. “Given this is his area of expertise, we wanted to see what rec-ommendations he had. Af-ter several discussions, we agreed to add this incremen-tal investment in our 2024-25 budget.“So I expect we will soon see an amendment to that contract to include this added technology. The county has 10 and the town is investing in five. I think that says a lot in terms of our desire to stay to our mission, which is to be a safe community.”• In an action item, the council approved a staff rec-ommendation to allow Town Manager Andrew Meadwell to negotiate and execute an agreement with Blakely Landscaping Service for the annual leaf removal contract.Meadwell said that there were four bidders and that the prices “were all over the place, but it’s not always the lower bidder that receives the contract, but when you look at the state statute, it’s always the lowest respon-sive, responsible bidder. And in staff’s opinion and looking at the bids and our interviews and what was provided, we feel that Blakely Landscap-ing is the most responsible bidder.”Meadwell said that if for some reason if this contract can’t be negotiated and exe-cuted, the town would go to the next bidder in line, which could include modifications to some of the requirements.Meadwell added as he continues his “certification in “leafology” and looking at the weather and trying to predict, “we’re really think-ing that our leaf pickup will begin on Friday, Nov. 1, or more likely probably on Monday, Nov. 4, to start that process of just really looking at how the leaves will start to be forecasted to changes colors.“If you remember last year, I think we got our first load of leaves up probably in the middle of October and extended all the way to the middle of January. So we’re really anticipating a possibly shorter leaf season.”In other highlight, the council:• Appointed Christy Schafer as the council’s rep- resentative to the Bermuda Run Vision Committee, re-placing Melinda Szeliga, who resigned her position on the council in the August meeting.• Heard from Schafer regarding the celebration of the town’s 25th anniver-sary, which was postponed the weekend of Sept. 27-28 and now will be held Friday, Oct. 18, from 5-8 p.m. in the town square on Kinderton Boulevard off of US 158. There will be food trucks along with other treats and games for the kids and with live music provided by local band Pushin’ Georgia.• Heard from Meadwell in his manager’s report, in-cluding that the flag poles for the The Flags at Blue Heron Trail project are up; Phase II of the Kinderton sidewalk is complete; and that with no business to discuss and early voting starting at Town Hall, both the planning board and council agenda meetings in October have been cancelled.• Heard from Brannon in the mayor’s report regard-ing the recent passing of Jerry West, a former council member who served for eight years, and Kathryn Crosby, who was the driving force behind the Crosby Scholars program and Crosby Nation-al Celebrity Golf Tourna-ment that was held for many years at the Bermuda Run Country Club. He also mentioned that the final concert of the sea-son will be Saturday, Oct. 26 at 6 p.m. featuring Envision in the town square. Cameras ... DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Oct. 17, 2024 - 5 The Dragonfly House Children’s Advocacy Center in Mocksville has received $40,000 through The SECU Foundation Mission Devel-opment Grants. Funding focused on tech-nology education, support against domestic violence, housing and homelessness, child advocacy and youth services, healthcare services, and crisis intervention.MDG funding began eight years ago and has since become an integral part of the foundation’s annual grantmaking process. The program laid the ground-work for the foundation to expand its criteria for two additional capacity building programs – Rural Opportu-nity and Disaster Response grants. These small dollar high-value grants are helping to strengthen the infrastruc-ture and sustainability of non-profits that provide vital services to their communi-ties, particularly in under-served and rural areas.“The MDG program has added a layer of depth to our funding strategy that is helping organizations with strategic planning efforts to hopefully achieve more than they thought possible,” said SECU Foundation Executive Director Jama Campbell. “The success of this program speaks to the critical need for this type of funding among non-profits, and we couldn’t be more pleased to be part of their journey and future suc-cess.” EnergyUnited, in partner-ship with hep solar, celebrat-ed the commissioning of the Perendale Solar Farm, a new 8.2-megawatt (MW) solar facility off Pudding Ridge Road in Farmington.

The program empowers college students to create awareness about food inse-curity and compete to collect the most food for neighbors experiencing hunger. The challenge was created by Food Lion Feeds, Food Li-on’s hunger-relief platform, and N.C. Campus Engage-ment, a collaborative net-work of colleges and univer-sities committed to educating students on civic and social responsibility.Throughout the chal-lenge, which runs through Dec. 20, points are accumu-lated through activities cen-tered around addressing food insecurity.Each school selects one or two MVP Student Hun-ger Ambassadors to lead the effort. Davidson-Davie appointed Katrina Prickett and Emma Frausto to serve as the MVP Student Hun-ger Ambassadors to lead the campaign. Prickett and Frausto were chosen due to their unwaver-ing commitment to the Storm Food Pantry located on cam-pus and leadership within the Student Government Asso-ciation. The staff mentor is Alana Dunlap. Participating schools re-ceive an activity fund, mar-keting materials and ongoing support. The ambassadors will receive a stipend upon completion of the campaign. “Food Lion Feeds is ex-cited to join forces with the next generation of leaders to find solutions to hunger on college campuses,” said Kevin Durkee, manager, Food Lion Feeds. “Aside from addressing food inse-curity in our communities, the Collegiate Hunger Chal-lenge also supports our ed- and other county informa-tion.

He entered into eter-nal rest on Oct.r 14, 2024 at the age of 92, surrounded by his daughters at the Kate B. Reynolds Hospice Home in Winston-Salem and transitioned peacefully into the loving arms of Jesus.Tom was born on Jan. 11, 1932 in Davie County to the late George Frank and Flossie Sheek Cornatzer. He lived a life dedicated to faith, family, and service. His un-ending love for his family and his devotion to the love of his life, Shirley, was his purpose in life. His wisdom, warmth, generosi-ty, and kindness will be forever cherished by those who knew him. He was a man of strong faith and was an active and dedicated member of Bixby Presbyterian Church for many decades and also regularly attended Cooleemee Presbyte-rian Church. He found joy in attending church and singing in the choir and his life reflected his love for the Lord. Tom enjoyed spending time with his loved ones and was known for his love of dancing, sharing flowers from his yard, and recalling funny stories. His memory will live on in the hearts of those who were blessed to know him. Tom was a devoted member of the Advance Masonic Lodge for 66 years and there he formed lifelong friendships and exemplified the values of brotherhood, charity, and integ-rity. His commitment to the Masonic principles of love and service made him a pillar in both the lodge and the community. In addition to his parents and his beloved wife, he was preceded in death by a sister, Maxine Newman and a brother, James “Poodle” Cornatzer.Survivors include: 4 children, Rickey Cornatzer (Au-drey), Mitzi Hunter (Lonnie), Kim Cornatzer (Beverly), and Angela Cornatzer; 7 grandchildren; 8 great-grandchil-dren; a sister, Peggy Foster; several nieces and nephews; and a multitude of friends.A funeral service will be conducted at 1 p.m., Thursday, Oct. 17 at Eaton Funeral Chapel with Rev.

Serving Winston-Salem, Clemmons, and Surrounding Areas 10 - DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Oct. 17, 2024 The Literary Corner: Renegade Writer’s Guild Through America’s GatePart IBy: E. BishopThe World Population Review defines immigration as the process of moving from one country to another and has been part of mankind’s journey since the dawn of human civili-zation. In fact, immigration was technically practiced before any of the countries that make up today’s United Nations even existed. With immigration being such a controversial topic in this election year, it was fitting that our recent road trip included Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty. History did not interest me in my earlier years; I find it in-teresting now that I’m older and can appreciate learning from the past. The 15-minute ferry ride over to Ellis Island was an experience all by itself; while waiting to be boarded, there were people from all over the globe wearing their native attire and speaking their native languages. It is indeed an interesting tourist attraction for everyone. Our visit was limited; I could have spent the recommended two to three hours to explore.As the ferry approaches the drop off point, ahead of us we see this huge intimidating building - the Main Building and the Registry Room. The Main building has always been the centerpiece of Ellis Island, the largest and most visible, and the one through which all immigrants had to pass for pro-cessing and gaining admission to the country. The Registry Room (Great Hall) occupies the second and third stories of the central portion of the Main building. This room is approx- A visit to Ellis Island in New York teaches the history of immigration to the United States of America. imately 200 feet long by 100 feet wide and 56 feet high with a perimeter balcony surrounding the entire space (Landmark Preservation Commission). The Guastavino tile arched ceil-ing is very impressive and the red Ludowici tile floor with soaring vaulted ceilings and large arched window openings at the clerestory (upper part of the nave) accentuate the enormi-ty of the space. It was truly an awe inspiring area now used as an exhibition space for the museum. Ellis Island has been owned by the federal government since 1808; on June 15, 1897, a fire destroyed the complex of wooden buildings used for processing immigrants. The government immediately rebuilt with more fireproof build-ings (1898-1900). The complex processed over 12 million immigrants, the nation’s principal gateway, during the years 1892-1954. Restoration in the 1980s allowed the building to be re-opened as a museum dedicated to the nation’s immigrant heri-tage. Many Americans can trace their ancestry to immigrants who crossed this island looking for the promise of a better life in America. Miss FlossieBy Linda H. BarnetteAnother person that I admire is Miss Flossie Martin. She was born on Aug. 21, 1890 and died on Feb. 11, 1993 at age 102. Her parents were William Columbus and Fran-ces Eaton Martin, an I also remember her brother Dr. Les- ter Martin, who delivered my mother in 1917. Her degrees were from Salem College and Columbia University as well as a master’s from Chap-el Hill. She taught science at Reynolds High School in Winston-Salem beginning in 1922 and then spent 13 years teaching in Davie County, fi-nally retiring in 1960.I was fortunate enough to be in her science class at the old Mocksville High School in 1956 when I was in the ninth grade. Even though I knew her from First Baptist Church, she was someone to be admired from afar. I re-member being petrified when she brought a live snake (a small one) to class one day, and I made good grades so that I would always be a sheep. She called us sheep and goats - no names of course. She was a serious teacher, and I was a serious student. Kids in her class never talked or cut up either as that was unheard of in my day.Having never married, she devoted her life to the pursuit of knowledge and spent years at the Davie County Public Li-brary as a volunteer where she was instrumental in starting the History Room. In fact, the rom is named in honor or both Miss Flossie and Mr. James Wall, who was our county histo-rian for many years and was another of my heroes.Miss Flossie obviously had a genuine interest in geneal-ogy, collecting information on many Davie County families. My guess is that she started researching her own family and branched out from there. The History Room contains several hundred family files.Now I am volunteering there and am working on the Peo-ple, Not Property project. As I go through each file, I often find notes in her very tiny handwriting. How lucky we all are that she had such a passion for history and genealogy. I’m honored to have been her student and a fellow volunteer. Peter S. Ney's remains were the topic of a French documentary film crew here (photo at right) in the Summer of 2022. There will finally be a local premiere of the production on Thursday, Oct. 24 at 6:30 p.m. in the Multi-Purpose Room at the Davie County Public Library, hosted by the Davie County Historical and Genealogical Society. Also on display will be the textbook Ney used and they examined so closely. What did they find and what did they decide? Come see for yourself. The library is on 371 N. Main St. in Mocksville.

It did not happen because Cao/Chaffin valiantly fell short in a third-set tiebreaker in the semifinals. But the War Eagles, who went 14-0 in the regular season and end-ed up with the singles and doubles champions, can’t have everything. If they did, as a wise man once asked, where would they put it? Davie hosted the tournament on Oct. 8. Senior Elliot Newsome and the doubles team of junior Bailey Aderhold/sophomore Corbin Drum added to their legendary seasons by walking away with the singles and doubles titles, respectively. And they did it by pounding everyone into oblivion. “We dropped fewer than 10 games to win both championships, which really shows how impressive the top three for me have been this year, and I’m definitely not taking that for granted,” coach Collin Fer-ebee said. By Brian PittsEnterprise Record South Davie steamrolled North Davie 44-6 on Sept. 10. Playing out of its defensive mind in the second meeting, North upset South 6-0 in the season finale on Oct. 8. That really happened, even if it felt like a dream for the visiting Wildcats, who beat South for the first time since 2021. “It was an Orange Bowl classic,” North coach Beau Byerly said. “It was ugly, but it was a dogfight. It was one of those games that makes you really enjoy coaching. That was high intensity from the kickoff.”While the Tigers finished 5-3, North (5-3) put up its first winning season since going 4-0 in the spring By Brian PittsEnterprise Record The Ellis football team ap-proached every game like it was attending a buffet supper. The Jaguars went 8-0 with an aggregate score of 276-8. The scores leading up to the Tri-County Con-ference championship game were 28-0, 30-0, 38-0, 48-0, 38-0, 36-8 and 36-0. In the title game against visiting Mooresville on Oct. 8, they finally met some resistance. It was 0-0 after the first quarter and 6-0 at halftime. But in the end, things were no dif-ferent. Ellis won going away, 22-0. Seldom have we seen a team this ferocious, this laughably dominant. “We’ve won six championships in 18 years,” assistant coach Mike Morgan said after Ellis’ third perfect season in four years. “Four of those we went into the last game knowing we had it wrapped up. The one in 2011 was the last time we actually got to play someone in a champion-ship game. All four of us coaches have played and coached in some big games. We emphasized all week how special it is to have that oppor-tunity, and the kids responded. A lot of these kids have been with Roger (Blalock) and Joe (Burchette) for a while and they play hard for them. They also bought into coach (Larry) Williams’ system and it worked out great.”The only points in the first half came on a Bowman Blakley run. Mission accomplished Ellis completes perfect season “Mooresville had nine people in the box, and they sent people through B gap and off-tackle,” Morgan said. “It slowed us down.”The Jaguars had to make some adjustments at halftime. One of their stalwarts, Cam James, was playing with a sprained ankle and couldn’t help his team at running back. So the offense leaned on Blakley, who played hero while scoring two of the three TDs. Mason Driver, who moved from QB to running back, had the other TD. “Bowman and Cam have been a great 1-2 punch at running back,” Morgan said. “Unfortunately, Cam hurt his ankle last week and couldn’t really put his foot in the ground and cut. He only had one carry in the first half. He moved to H-back and we started motioning him as a lead blocker. Ben Bost went to QB and Mason Driver moved to our other back. That gave them problems. Bowman just absolutely took over on offense.”Blakley’s clutch running was made possible by Joseph Burchette, Brody Newman, Henry Migliarese, Vincent Clements, Graham Weaver and Cody Zwanzig. “Our line stepped up in the second half,” Morgan said. “Coach Williams runs a scheme were the line pulls and traps on most plays. I think this gives linemen, particularly at this age, the mentality that I’m not Please See Ellis - Page B3 of 2021. Making the 44-point swing from the first meeting all the more remark-able, the Wildcats pulled off the win despite an early injury to running back Nathan Smith. But Smith did give the North fans a thrill before getting carried off the field. On the third play from scrimmage, he went 40 yards to inside the South 20, breaking his leg at the end of the play. A penalty for a horse-collar tackle moved the ball to the South 4. “We started out in the I-formation because I wanted to switch it up, and our big guy took one 40 yards,” Byerly said. Two plays later, quarterback Levi Morales scored on a read-option keeper. Little did anyone know that would be the only touchdown . “I don’t think (Morales) read much of anything,” Byerly said. “I think he just took it and took off.”Without Smith, the North offense was punchless. But the defense stood tall and secured the Wildcats’ longest winning streak (four) in four seasons. “We couldn’t get any power on anything and could not get a push,” Byerly said. “Without the big man, we could no do the I-formation, so we went back to our spread. We did not have much success. Our line had zero push for a while, but we were able to move the ball well enough to get them out of really good field position.“The defense decided to show up and kept us ahead the whole time. They may have been in the red zone once. Penalties killed them.”South’s defense got nasty after the game’s first possession. But the Tigers’ offense was undone by multiple factors, including the loss of quarterback William Sandoval in the second quarter. “That hurt them, but our defense really came to play,” Byerly said. “We switched up what we were doing on defense and put everybody in man. They had to change up their game when their quarterback (went out). He can throw it well. They had some success running the ball.”It was like North defensive backs Morales, Easton Stanley, Sawyer Hall, Wade Ridenhour, Christopher Gonzalez and Jeremiah Hernandez were trying to out-do each other with big plays. “We had really spectacular play from our DBs,” Byerly said. But plenty of people deserve defensive credit. Hall (two fumble recoveries) played like a man pos-sessed. Hernandez had an intercep-tion. Linebacker Peyton Jordan was immense again. Mason Sheppard, Glen Greene, Mayson Powell and Jackson Jennings did the job up front as North stopped a four-game losing streak in the series. “Sawyer ripped a ball out of a running back’s arms,” Byerly said. “He was in a cluster and ripped it out and we saw him running with it. Sawyer probably made 10 tack-les, too. “Peyton probably had between eight and 10 tackles. He was able to cause a pretty big disruption on the line.” North wins ‘Orange Bowl Classic’ over South Singles, doubles titles go to Davie trio Please See Tennis - Page B4 Bowman Blakley breaks free around the end for the unbeaten Jaguars. - Submitted Photo Kate Chaffin teamed up Casey Cao to finish third in doubles in the CPC Tournament. - Photo by Marnic Lewis B2 ‑ DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Oct. 17, 2024 Now Offering Georgia vs. Texas CONTEST RULES Anyone can enter except employees of the Davie County Enterprise Record and their families.

AND KEEP THOSE ENTRIES COMING!! DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Oct. 17, 2024 ‑ B3 Continued From Page B1just going to block you, I’m going to attack you. Our line has done that every game. Other than Brody, they aren’t that imposing looking, but they are one of the best units we’ve had here. “Another thing that made us efficient on offense that gets overlooked is that we only mishandled one QB-cen-ter exchange the entire sea-son. That’s so important at this level. Driver and Bur-chette did a great job with that, and it’s the first link in being good offensively.”Talking only offense doesn’t properly tell the sto-ry. The defense played at the peak of its powers with the team’s legacy on the line. “Henry and Wyatt Giff set the edge and hit the QB all day,” Morgan said. “Henry has a great motor and has re-ally been a leader on defense. “Bowman not only carried us on offense, he shadowed No. 4, their biggest threat, the whole game. “What Cam couldn’t do on offense, he more than made up for it on defense. He just absolutely punished people a couple of times.”Graham Wood and Wade Ellis ... Hefner had interceptions. A sick Colby Mason was less than full strength, but the d-line didn’t skip a beat when Mason had to come out. “Hats off to Wade - he’s been kind of the unsung hero on both sides of the ball,” Morgan said. “We missed Colby. He’s an interior line-man and he’s been a big part of this thing. He had strep and could only go about 50 percent. Cody and Vincent did a great job filling in.”Both of Mooresville’s losses were to Ellis, including 38-0 on Sept. 17. This marked the Jaguars’ fifth perfect sea-son. They went 8-0 in 2011, 2014 and 2021 and 7-0 in 2022. “I was lucky to be at Oak Grove with great parents and great kids,” Williams, the first-year Ellis head coach, said. “I left Oak Grove and came to Ellis to teach math. I went one year without coach-ing and really missed it. I feel fortunate to be able to get back into it at another place with great kids, great parents, great colleagues and a supportive administration.” The South Davie girls tennis team completed the 2024 season undefeated and captured the Tri-County Conference title.South was led by eighth graders Clara Parsley, Kady Joyce, Amelia Elledge and Iris Marion.As the No. 1 seed, Pars-ley finished with a 5-2 sin-gles record and proved to be competitive in every match. She also provided leadership as team captain. Joyce played No. 2 and had an outstanding year in singles and doubles with a combined record of 10-2. At No. 3, Elledge fin-ished with a singles record of 5-2, including a key win against Ellis. Marion had an excellent year in singles at No. 4 with key wins against Ellis and Mooresville, finishing with a record of 6-1. “Our eighth graders pro-vided excellent leadership and competitiveness, par-ticularly in tight matches with Mooresville and Ellis,” coach Andy Soots said. “These young ladies have made significant progress, and I am happy they were able to finish with a confer-ence championship.”Seventh graders Emma Grace Snow and Kylie Edwards had significant contributions. Snow com-pleted a perfect season in singles and doubles (12-0), and once-beaten Edwards won over 90 percent of her matches. “Emma Grace and Ky-lie gave our team tremen- dous depth at the five and six positions,” Soots said. “Both players committed to improving during the offseason, and it paid off this year. Both young ladies have bright futures.”Stella Brock, Piper Crotts, Hallie Head, Kate Welborn and Alaina York also contributed to the team’s record and seized the moment when given the op-portunity to play as a starter. Newcomers Aubrey Reavis and Karmen Bur-gess-Walker experienced 8th graders lead South to tennis perfection success playing exhibition matches.“Players outside the starting six were outstand-ing teammates all season and worked hard during practice to increase their seeding and proved to be ready when given the op-portunity,” Soots said. “I am excited about the future for these young ladies.” (336) 909-0609 Call BJ Arning Today •Fully Insured •Tree Work & Tree Removal •Trimming & Thinning •Free Estimates •Stump Grinding •Bucket Truck •Formerly Seaford’s The Jaguars went undefeated for the third time in four years and for the fifth time in their 18-year history.

Senior Profile Continued From Page B1As everyone expected, Newsome destroyed all four opponents. It was a golden moment after having to set-tle for runner-up in 2023, when West Forsyth’s Sam McEachran capped a 58-0 CPC career with her fourth singles title. “It was a complete perfor-mance from her from begin-ning to end,” Ferebee said. “I did not want it to get in her head that she was supposed to win this, but there were no nerves. She went out and took care of business. It was an absolutely dominating per-formance. I’m really proud of her to go out that way.”Newsome’s scores were 10-0; 10-0; 6-1, 6-0; and 6-2, 6-1. She rose to 18-0 and notched her second CPC championship. (She teamed up with Leslie Newsom to claim the doubles crown in 2022.)“That was Laura Beck-er-level of dominance, and that’s good company to be in,” Ferebee said. “She’s got-ten more aggressive this year and she’s definitely increased the pace on her first serve and her forehand. But she’s not what I would call a big hitter. She’s a consistently solid hitter, but her game is like the female version of Burke (Rosenbaum). She’s not going to hit you off the court, but she’s going to put the ball where she wants every single time and she’s going to place you to death basically.”Newsome’s run and Ader-hold/Drum’s 4-0 march to a repeat championship in doubles were mirror images. They destroyed their dou-bles competition 10-0; 10-0; 6-1, 6-1; and 6-2, 6-2. They pushed their perfect record to 12-0 after going 5-1 in 2023. “They crushed everyone; they were just about as dom-inant as Elliot,” Ferebee said. “At no point was I even mild-ly worried.”Cao/Chaffin cruised into the semifinals - and thus punched their ticket to the regional - with 10-0 and 10-4 victories. They gave the eventual runner-ups - the No. 1 team from Reynolds - ab-solute fits before losing 2-6, 7-6, 5-10. After that grueling setback, they dominated the third-place match 6-2, 6-1 to run their sparkling season record to 10-1. “It was really close to be-ing a Davie-Davie doubles fi-nal,” Ferebee said. “To finish third as my third doubles team highlights how strong we were this year. (For Chaffin) to be a freshman and qualify for regionals, that doesn’t happen too often. I was really proud of them for rebounding from a tough loss.”Four more War Eagles competed. Leah Gibson won 10-0 before losing 10-3 to West’s top seed. The top five earned regional berths and Gibson didn’t quite make it, although she had a strong sophomore season (12-4 re-cord at three and four). “I said: ‘Hey, you should be proud. You played really well (against the girl from West),’” Ferebee said. “Leah said: ‘I’m really happy. I think I did really good.’ It was one of those matches she lost, but she had so many positives.”Ola Leszczuk went 1-1 as well, winning 10-2 and losing 10-0.

Tabor’s Zion Thomp-son, who pounded out 130 and 187 rushing yards against Davie in 2023, did not appear in the game until the sev-en-minute mark of the second quarter. Star receiver Snook Peterkin, a Virginia Tech commit, did not play at all. The Spartans were not at full strength when they visited War Eagle Stadium on Friday, but they have plenty of talent. They still dismantled Davie 52-7. While Tabor stayed in the hunt at 5-2 and 3-1 in the CPC, the War Eagles (2-5, 1-3) have been outscored 138-21 during a three-game losing streak. Tabor didn’t waste any time jumping out to a com-manding lead.

On the Spartans’ next possession, Albright threw it up and let his 6-4, 195-pound receiver jump over Davie’s defensive back. JaDon Blair, a Notre Dame commit, snatched the ball from a perfectly-positioned Landon King and gained 48 yards to set up Albright’s short plunge into the end zone. Davie interrupted Tabor’s assault, if only briefly, when Davie’s Austin Heath recov-ered a fumble at the Davie 24. Braxton Bowling broke off a 41-yard scamper to the Tabor 25, Draeton Nance hit Leon Bradshaw for 19 yards, then connected with Ethan Driver for 9. Nance scored from the 1 to pull Davie within 12-7. The Spartans, though, quickly resumed their domi-nance. One of their speedsters, Jaydon Mahfooth, dashed 61 yards to make it 20-7. Three minutes later, Albright and Blair hooked up for a 23-yard score. Less than four minutes after that, Blair caught a home-run ball, discarded a defender with a stiff-arm and juked two War Eagles inside the 10 to complete a 68-yard TD. Three minutes after that, the Tabor band was playing the fight song again as the halftime bulge reached 38-7. Tabor can pick you apart through the air and on the ground. It would finish with 234 rushing yards and 601 total yards while converting 9 of 12 third downs. Albright went 23 of 30 for 367 yards and accounted for six TDs (four passing, two rushing). Blair, who had an interception on defense, averaged 36 yards on his four receptions. Meanwhile, the War Ea-gles were mostly helpless. They went 1 for 8 on third-down conversions, suffered five turnovers and kept spin-ning their wheels in the sec-ond half. Bowling finished with 71 yards on 11 carries. Eight of Nance’s 15 completions went to Driver, who picked up 91 yards. The War Eagles are three-fourths through a horrifying stretch. They travel to Clem-mons on Friday to take on heavily-favored West Forsyth (5-2, 3-1), which lost 27-17 to Tabor and is coming off a 27-0 win over Reagan, which handled Davie 31-14. Notes: Tabor did not let up. It scored its eighth TD with 9:48 to go as Albright went 5 of 8 for 73 yards in the fourth quarter. ... Davie has lost four straight in the series. ... Davie’s Elijah Chaffin, the 6-4, 212-pound sophomore linebacker, racked up 24 tackles in the Reagan loss, giving him 84 stops through the first six games. That made him third in the state in that category and first in 4-A. ... David Patton, who missed the last eight games last year and the first six this year, was fi-nally able to return to the field against Tabor. Ten months after knee surgery, he handled the punting duties. Each of his first two kicks went 42 yards.

Swan, Wisecarver shoot career rounds Bustamente scores hat trick for JV soccer over .500 thanks to a 4-1 win at Parkland on Oct. 7. Freshman Ivan Bustamente was masterful, scoring three goals as Davie pulled away after leading 2-1 at halftime. It was Bustamente’s second explosion of the season; he also had a hat trick on Sept. 9. “His first one, he dribbled around all of the defenders and around the goalie,” coach Chris Ferger said. “The sec-ond one was a shot in the top corner. He is very coachable. He’s got a good mentality. He keeps his head down and keeps working.”The other goal was scored by freshman Talan Andrade, who also had an assist. Em-manuel Perez and Ezra Re-galado had one assist each. “It was a good shot from the right side of the box into the top left corner,” Ferger said of Andrade. The defense - led by Wil-liam Martin, Eric Martinez and Josh Baker - played su-perbly. “Our defense has been really solid the past four games,” Ferger said. “It shows the improvement from the beginning of the season until now.”Davie 2, East 0On Sept. 11, the War Ea-gles had to work hard to come away with a 1-0 win over East Forsyth. In the rematch at home on Oct. 9, Davie aced the test. “We actually dominated the entire game,” Ferger said after Davie improved to 6-4-3 overall and 3-3-2 in the CPC. “I was hoping we would get more goals, but I’m perfectly happy with that.”Martinez and Ronald Pe-rez had both goals in the first half. They were assisted by Andrade and Adren Davis. “Ronald was one-on-one with the keeper, and he slid it right under the keeper,” Ferger said. “Eric scored a header off a corner kick (from Andrade).”The defense was fantastic again, Ferger said. Davis and Regalado took care of mid-field responsibilities, while Martin, Martinez and Baker brought the fire as defenders.

By Betty Etchison WestCana/Pino Correspondent Breakfast is Saturday, Oct. 19 at the Wesley Chapel Unit-ed Methodist Church from 6:30-10 a.m. The menu in-cludes country ham, sausage, scrambled eggs, grits, red-eye gravy, sawmill gravy, home-made biscuits, baked apples, jelly, orange juice and cof-fee. There is no set price for breakfast, but donations are appreciated. Wesley Chapel is three miles west of Farm-ington just off of NC 801 N. on Pino Road. We hope you will come, have breakfast, and spend time visiting with friends, old and new. It is time to drive from Cana to NC 801 North to see the delightful round hay bale art. It is amazing to see the creativity that is shown by those Cana Road residents as they decorate the round hay-bales each year. The deco-rations will be in place until after Halloween, which will be here shortly.The Wesley Chapel Wom-en of Faith met this week. They had good attendance and planned a bazaar to be held in connection with the breakfast on Nov. 22, which will be just before Thanksgiv-ing. Baked items and crafts will probably be offered for sale. If you want a particular baked item for Thanksgiving, contact one of the members of the Wesley Chapel Women of Faith and see if they can fill your order. The Wesley Chapel proj-ect to sell Mrs. Pumpkin chicken pies and spaghetti was successful and those who bought the pies have said that they were good. The members of Wesley Chapel and the Pino com-munity want Janice James to know they are concerned about her and are hoping that she will soon feel better.DeEtta West Thomas, the daughter of the late Luther and Lovie Rupard West, who grew up in the Pino commu-nity but who now lives in the Clemmons area, has had a stroke and is back at her home after spending some time in the hospital.
