Investigators are still conducting inter-views with those at the gathering.Witnesses reported the subject had been driven away from the scene, and learned while investi-gating the murder scene that the suspect had been spotted walk-ing in the Todd Road area.

Tell us what you think The voice of the mountain people sings on To the editor:Devastation isn't a big enough word. Not only homes crushed, old growth trees splintered, bridges/road destroyed, but so many people are dead. The actual count is much higher than reported. However it is so heartening to see groups of people from all over the country working as volunteers in the NC mountains. They are being welcomed in homes/shelters as special guests being offered food and hugs. These are the mountain people I came from and have known all my life.Instead of offering shelter or rebuilding plans, Gov. Coo-per is saying: "It just doesn't make sense to rebuild.” To whom is he talking? Not the people I grew up with.Asheville was the destination for Bascomb Lamar Lunds-ford's Mountain Folk and Crafts Festival, Doc Watson and family performances and myriad music festivals including NF Music Club's annual adjudication festivals. Mars Hill University has a museum dedicated to Lunsford who traveled in search of mountain musicians and recorded their music.The Appalachian people came from Scotland, Ireland, Wales and Holland (my DNA) for a better life. They brought banjos, guitars, fiddles and made dulcimers. An earlier re-searcher, Cecil Sharpe, traveled through the hills recording To the editor:My family roots in Davie go back to the 18th century. I was raised to follow the teachings of Jesus. I continue to do my best to practice loving everyone, including those who do me harm; to forgive those who have hurt me; and to turn the other cheek. I was taught to be kind and considerate, to stand up for those who are bullied, help those who need help, and welcome the stranger. I took it seriously when Jesus said that how I treat the “least of thee” is how I “treat” Jesus. It made sense to me that we are all children of God, whose chosen Son came to earth to tell us the truth, the “truth shall set ye free”, and that to love others as we are loved was the most important of the Commandments.As a US Navy veteran, I agreed to give my life for my country, in the service of others to protect and defend our US Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. I read and remember the US Constitution clearly. While we can all agree we are not happy with some odecisions made by our elected governments, we need to remember the pur-pose is to provide for the common good. It is un-American and immoral for the government to interfere with a human being’s health care, and to deny lifesaving procedures when medically indicated. Despite running for and being elected President in 2016, holding that office for 4 years and again running to be elected, when asked about his health care plans for America, he ad-mitted he had “concepts of a plan”. That is dereliction of duty.Social media, influencers, and politicians are not held to the ethical standards of journalists, and it is a serious threat to our freedoms when anyone tries to portray journalists as an enemy of the people. Disinformation is not protected speech. The Second Amendment is not being attacked, but every election year the lie that Democrats want to take away guns gets resurrected and millions more guns are sold to fearful citizens who fell for that marketing scam. Americans have a responsibility to be actively involved in government through contributions of ideas, voting, and protesting peacefully. To accuse members of the government, and specifically Democrats in leadership roles, of being the enem” is to abandon one’s civic responsibility to participate in the process. We are harming fellow citizens and the peace-ful, productive ability of local, state, and federal government when we attack a political party and refuse to discuss issues and cooperate in the creation of solutions. Elected officials cannot serve the people who elected them when a party in office puts partisan grandstanding above reaching across the aisle to work together for the welfare of the citizens. Military service professionals have a legal, moral, and ethical duty to disobey orders that are not lawful, and that is what Gen. John Kelly did when former President Trump wanted him to shoot peaceful protestors in DC. Now Trump is saying he wished he had generals like Hitler did. Hitler. Are you paying attention? I know we have Nazis and white nationalists among us, but I pray they are the tiniest minority. Trump has said he wants to replace his military advisors with NASCAR drivers because the “Generals are so stupid”. America is a land of opportunity and prosperity; if it were not, refugees and immigrants would not try to move here. We live in a nation of modern comforts, freedoms, and rights, nota “third world country” or “trash can”. I have not heard about a single person who has been attacked, robbed, or raped on the way to buy groceries. No one is taking away our cows or bacon. The mayors of Springfield, Ohio and Aurora, Colo. stated that there are no missing, devoured pets or geese, and no violent illegal immigrant gangs taking over. No undocu-mented person is getting FEMA money and no one will get a sex change operation at school. It is dangerous to let these insane claims fuel voting. After the most devastating disaster in recorded history, our mountain neighbors have been fur-ther injured by the lies Trump told regarding FEMA. Sowing fear and distrust in times of hardship is harmful and part of self-serving divisiveness.Crime rates and unemployment are lower than four years ago. The stock market is at all-time highs, and inflation has dropped to a reasonable level, but prices continue to be too high because of corporate greed and price gouging following Trump’s corporate tax cuts that never filtered down. To blame undocumented immigrants for problems that do not exist, and paint a picture of doom and gloom to motivate people to vote against people who actually have plans to im-prove life, is a twisted act of fraud and corruption. Trump is old and having cognitive challenges during rallies, and that will get worse, not better. Whether or not Trump believes what he says is part of the problem. Gossip is never helpful.I am stunned and bewildered by children of God who seem to have abandoned the values we learned from Jesus in a decision to see the world through a distorted and hate-ful lens. There is a truth that will set us free, and it is being drowned by those who pretend to want to make America great through misogyny, religious and racial bigotry, homophobia, transphobia, conspiracy theories, and lying. We do not have open borders, and if you look at the facts you will see that border crossings are lower now than four years ago. We need immigrants to do the many jobs American citizens will no longer do. This world is not divided by political parties where one is evil and one is making America great. Our planet and life here is a gift from our Divine Creator. Our fellow humans are family. Even though we can agree some family members are not easy to like, we are in this together and can do more by cooperating and mending fences than by fighting one another. Tariffs instituted during Trump’s Presidency almost de-stroyed family farms because China was our major trading partner and they retaliated by not buying our agricultural Exercise a commitment to the truth when making choices To the editor:The ad from the Republican Party had 7 points. I believe that two or more reasonable people could debate the first six.The seventh point, I believe, is an outright misrepresen-tation of fact. I pay pretty good attention to the news. I have heard nothing about anyone Republican or Democrat discuss-ing reinstatement of the draft.In case you missed it, it states: “Your Children Being Drafted to Fight and Die in Endless Wars Just for Money.” I believe that political ads are exempt from the truth in adver-tising laws.There are reasons to vote for Republicans and reasons to vote for Democrats. What is important is that you vote.Ralph GrecoMocksville To the editor:If offered a third chance to change the status quo on the Davie County Board of Commissioners, would you take it? The results of the Republican primary in March, albeit close, resulted in an apparent fait accompli (at least for two out of the three successful candidates) for the general election – essentially the same-ole, same-ole that folks continuously complain about. The blame can only be placed on the elec-torate (at least those who didn’t bother to vote – primaries are important) since enough votes were left on the table that, music and dialects. This is the soul of those folks whose stories and songs are written, sung and remembered by the subsequent generations.I would bet even now those survivors hear the ancestors singing through the trees, rivers, mud and soul of this dev-astated land. They didn't start this assault, didn't deserve the aftermath, but sing on in spite of all of it: "My life goes on in endless song, above earth's lamen-tations......" Patricia WilliamsAdvance It’s important to vote products. When corporate farmers got Trump’s attention, his answer was a taxpayer funded bail out, which is not only un-sustainable, but failed to help family farmers. It was a bad idea when he could simply lift the tariffs. There was a bipartisan, beneficial immigration policy an-swer to the border crisis, but Trump sabotaged it when he de-cided that he was more electable if he could continue blaming Biden for border problems. Nothing will get better if a single person has the power to block progress and prevent cooper-ation. America is supposed to have 3 co-equal branches of government, Executive, Legislative, and Judicial to protect us from such a tyrant. With Biden no longer running for re-elec-tion, Trump may say that Vice President Harris is a “low IQ person” and “the worst Vice President in the history of Amer-ica” but he has yet to say how he is going to fix immigration. The law is under the Legislative Branch of government, not the Executive Branch, and partisan politics have stonewalled a workable policy for decades. Trump’s wall did not work be-fore because there are ladders, power tools, drones, tunnels, airplanes, etc. and Mexico is never paying for a wall. Biden’s stay out policy is working.I humbly ask that you take time to get the facts, and if you do, you will know that Trump’s own administration, aids, advisors, children, and FOX News told him he lost the elec-tion. Trump intentionally started the lie that the election was stolen, demonized anyone who disagreed, and encouraged his followers to violently attack our US Capitol in a vain attempt to prevent the peaceful transfer of power, threatening to hang VP Mike Pence, and violently attack law enforcement officers protecting the Capitol and its inhabitants, killing officers and injuring others. One cannot really love America and support a candidate who openly committed treason to overthrow the fair and legal election of his opponent. If you think things are better in Hungary or Russia, please move there instead of electing someone to destroy our government and Constitu-tional rights and freedom.I am not asking you to vote against your conscience, I am asking you to vote for anyone you believe wants to make pos-itive changes in our county, state, and federal government. I am asking you to reconsider voting for anyone who demon-izes others, tell lies to keep people angry and afraid, plans to exact vengeance using political power instead of upholding the US Constitution and protecting our democratic republic. Please exercise your commitment to the truth and our Ameri-can nation above party. The MAGA party is not the Republi-can Party, and that is why so many prominent lifelong Repub-licans are publicly supporting Kamala Harris for President, and Mike Pence is not up for re-election. Bonnie Clark, Harmony There’s a choice for commissioner ostensibly, a change could have been made (previous letters gave the details). Then, chance number two was missed since no one stepped forward to take advantage of the write-in provisions of the statute (the write-in candidate could not by law be someone who was a primary candidate). Alas, is there no hope for a possible change (at least to one position)? Yes, but it means making a protest vote during the general election. There is one other choice on the ballot, and that is the Libertarian candidate. If you understand the Liber-tarian viewpoint, you will find them more akin to a Repub-lican than a Democrat. For example, they generally espouse non-interventionism, laissez-faire capitalism, and limiting the size and scope of government (sounds like Federalism). How could the current ballot choices available help bring about change? Well, you have three votes to cast, but you don’t have to check every block – the process allows you to leave a blank. You could choose just one, two, three, or none. If enough Republican voters (Democrats notwithstanding), tired of the current status quo, were willing to “take a chance” for change, then there could be a viable protest vote. For ex-ample, if you could bring yourself to vote for the Libertarian as opposed to one or two of the Republican candidates, then holding back one or two votes has the effect of doubling or trebling a vote for the Libertarian candidate (since you don't cancel your own vote, ergo the protest). Enough of that and the candidate could possibly move ahead of one or two status quo choices. Voila, change. So, are you fed up enough with the current Board makeup to take such a tact for one more chance at breaking the status quo? If not, then four more years of the same. Your move.William VaughanMocksville To the editor:The Biden administration in May of 2022 leased for 5 years a repurposed boarding school in Greensboro from a Chinese firm to house up to 800 unaccompanied migrant chil-dren at a cost of $178 million. The property at Hobbs Road is 100 gated acres that include 31 buildings of 412,712 square feet, an $18 million athletic center and swimming pool, a va-riety of athletic fields and a 22- acre lake. The facility will be used to provide housing, classrooms and recreation facilities for the children. The property was previously owned and op-erated by The American Hebrew Academy.The AHA began having financial troubles in 2019 and saw some relief after a publicly trading Chinese company inked a deed of trust agreement and a $26 million loan to AHA on Sept. 19, 2019. The school announced it would reopen for the school year 2020-21 but the school’s reopening never mate-rialized. Even though the Chinese company held the dead of trust and provided the millions in loan money, the school still applied for and was granted $1,486,118 in federal pandemic relief funds. High salaries may have been part of AHA’s in-solvency issues. Glenn Drew, an area real estate developer and the school’s longtime CEO, had been drawing a salary hovering around $500,000. He was also paid over $1.46 mil-lion for dealing with the closure of the school.Deployed Services based in Rome, N.Y. was awarded the contracts to provide transparent facility support and logistical services anytime, anywhere according to the website. Adds for up to 800 workers to start work at the site in July 2022 were allegedly placed by Deployed Services following the contract awarded.

A lot of work has been done to provide the services requested by the Department of Health and Human Services of Refugee Re-settlement.July 28, the Department of Health and Hu-man Services stated operations were ramping down. Mayor Nancy Vaughn of Greensboro, stated this means the amount of people on site keeping the facility ready state will ebb and flow, but generally there will be fewer people. While the site will continue to have no children, it must be ready to accept chil-dren for care eight weeks after being notified by ORR of a need for capacity.HHS’ processing of unaccompanied mi-nors has been under scrutiny under the Biden administration due to a marked increase in cases of migrant teens working in dangerous Letters ... Through America’s GatePart IIBy E. BishopEllis Island, the enormity of the Main Building/Registry Room and the purpose be-hind it all is astounding. The Registry Room is where millions of immigrants, at times 5,000 a day, had their future determined; it serves as a vivid reminder of and monument to the immigrants who have come to this country from all corners of the world.For over two decades (1900-1924), near-ly every day, the Registry Room was filled with new arrivals waiting to be inspected and registered by Immigration Service officers. This is the place complex demands of the im-migration laws and an American bureaucra-cy sealed the new comer’s fate to stay or be sent back to their native country. Becoming a citizen was a very lengthy process, waiting in lines for hours to go through various stag-es. For the unfortunate 2% (approximately 1,000/month) that were excluded, this place was a bitter “Isle of Tears” but most consid-ered it an “Island of Hope” where they were able to reunite with their American relatives and friends.An excerpt from one of the displays fol-lows, written by Katherine Beychok, a Rus-sian Jewish Immigrant in 1910, interviewed in 1985. “They put us into lines, all kinds of lines. If you had visibly something wrong with you, like if they saw your eyes red, or something, they’d put one color chalk on you. If it was something else, if you were with a cane or something, it’s another chalk…..If nothing visible there, they put you in lines, regular lines…..And the doctors and everybody that was supposed to interrogate us were dressed in uniforms….[that] had a terrible effect on me….we were scared of uniforms. It took us back to the Russian uniforms that we were running away from.” Imagine traveling such a great distance with only the belongings you can carry, (maybe in a trunk), checking your baggage in a room with thousands of others. Keeping track of immigrants’ belongings became a major logistical challenge; some just chose to keep what they could with them through the entire inspection process. Interpreters were available to help with the language barrier; that too would be a monumental task. The US Public Health Service doctors sometimes had only six seconds to scan each immigrant during the line inspection, a rapid, efficient process meant only to detect those who should be held for a more thorough medical evaluation. Any whose ailments were incur-able/disabling were sent back to their ports of origin. By 1917, immigration laws prohibit-ed the admission of anyone diagnosed with a mental impairment. A legal inspection was required as was standard intelligence tests, such as a steam-ship puzzle that Dr. Howard A. Knox devel-oped that took into account the immigrants’ backgrounds and education levels. Another type test was “Can You Draw a Diamond?” which helped determine if they had ever gone to school. Puzzle and mimicry tests were used often; these did not have to be explained by an interpreter; the immigrant did not have to know how to read or write to solve them.Those that did not know English were easy prey for unscrupulous labor brokers; immigrants were often exploited, forced to work under dangerous conditions for mea-ger wages. Aid societies tried to protect these new arrivals often escorting them to where they could apply for decent paying jobs. The majority of these immigrants scattered across the country by railroad looking for work wanting to leave behind the severe eco-nomic hardships, lack of opportunity, and religious/political persecution of their native countries. They wanted to build a better fu-ture for themselves and their families. The same holds true today. America should still be a land of opportunity. This long standing contentious debate of immigra-tion will not be easily resolved; hopefully, those in power will one day come to a rea-sonable solution. The Mess is RealBy Stephanie Williams DeanMy sister, Suzanne, was visiting from Al-abama, and the conversation went like this. “Why are you taking a picture of my bookcase?” I inquired. “I’m sending a photo of your messy book-cases to Pat,” she answered.My sister’s friend, Pat, is an interior de-signer. She’s talented in many areas and has good taste. I imagine her home to be in per- fect order and well-designed. “I like the way your books are all messed up.”I glanced at all the used and worn books on my shelves. Only a few were lined up neatly. Many books were stacked, but most were just pushed in – one on top of others. Heck, they were all messed up. When I bought my home, built-in book-cases were installed in anticipation of their arrival. Books are fascinating and come alive with thousands of memories, stories, and his-tories – all demanding my attention. They have a life of their own – each created with character, personality, and independence. Like me, they don’t like to be controlled. They’re not little soldiers who stand perfect-ly erect – my books are undisciplined, unruly, and often rebellious. I have a personal love relationship with my books. They love to be picked up, held and cradled warmly next to my chest – where their words lovingly touch my heart. They feed my soul. Often, they challenge me with their words and demand more interaction as I sometimes must read aloud to comprehend what they are saying.Often, I have to interact with them to meet my own needs. The soft glow of wood burn-ing in my fireplace while I’m wrapped in a blanket, snuggling in an old chair while cud-dling with a book – soothes, comforts, and pacifies me.Lovingly collected, my books are shelved according to my life’s interests: spiritual, cooking, travel, literature, writing, and art. They are my reading material on a rainy day, my reference guides for road trips, my sourc-es for writing stories, or a menu choice for a delicious dinner with my family. My home, formally undecorated, supports my lifestyle and the pastimes I enjoy. I work toward that result, continuously revamping and refining. And it’s a blessing to be comfortable in one’s own home and accepting of one’s imperfec-tions.Permit yourself to enjoy the process of daily living. Be satisfied with baby steps and small achievements. And know that no mat-ter how much control one tries to exert over life – life is real, and it’s going to be messed up – like my bookcases.There’s a cliche that refers to someone as “a hot mess.” I’ll happily claim the messy bit. My messy bookcases, the messy lines of my oil paintings, a messy, cheesy casserole running over the dish, my messy, over-grown pasture, or my messy hair when I awaken – the mess is real. But it’s beautiful – and I’ll take real, any day. If the walls could talk at the entrance and baggage room at Ellis Island, they could tell the story of how immigration shaped the country.The Literary Corner: Renegade Writer’s Guild James WallBy Linda H. BarnetteMr. James Wall was our neighbor when I was growing up on Church Street. He was also my history teacher at Davie County High School. Although I already loved histo-ry, his knowledge and enthusiasm for his sub-ject were obvious. When I went to Catawba, history was my minor.For many years my home was not here in Mocksville. By the time I returned, Mr. Wall was the county historian and had written a history of First Presbyterian Church and a history of Davie County. One year for Christ-mas my parents gifted me with a signed copy of his history of the county, which remains one of my treasures. I often pick it up when I need information for my own research. After I retired in 2004, I spent a lot of time at our library and often saw Mr. Wall in there working on projects. In those days Miss Flossie had just died, and others like Doris Frye and Nancy Murphy were work-ing in the history room, carrying on the work that Miss Flossie had started. They all left a fantastic history room for people to use. It’s also a great place to work on your own family genealogy as well. In addition to books and family files, you can use Ancestry for free.I could go on and on about the awards and honors that Mr. Wall received through the years, but I believe that he would think that teaching and writing were the two things he would like to be remembered for.Henry Adams once said, “A teacher af-fects eternity. He never knows where his in-fluence stops.” That is true of Mr. James Wall. and grueling jobs after being released from government custody. Their jobs in factories, meat plants and construction sites violate fed-eral child labor laws, which severely restrict the type of physical work minors can do.Due to the Biden-Harris poor Mexican border program, there are 102 facilities in the US set-up to house unaccompanied migrant children. The Greensboro facility is the larg-est with an 800-bed capacity. Recently HHS was housing over 5,800 migrant children. During the spring of 2022 they had a peak of 22,000 minors.We the taxpayers are paying through the Biden-Harris administration and HHS poor immigration policy millions of dollars that we should not be paying. As stated, a 5-year lease was signed in late May of 2022 and no children have been housed at the facility to this date. This waste of taxpayer dollars will not stop until a new administration is in of-fice.Fred VorehBermuda Village To the editor:It is reassuring to see letters to the editor being published again, with our fellow citi-zens being triggered by a semi-trailer stating the obvious, in a county that President Trump won with over 70% of the votes; and, Presi-dent Trump being called fascist… again. As stated before, we must learn how to laugh and one of the most comical events of this elec-tion cycle was the Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation Dinner, when Jim Gaffigan, the master of ceremonies, said, “This has been an interesting presidential campaign. The Dem-ocrats have been telling us Trump’s re-elec-tion is a threat to democracy. In fact, they were so concerned of the threat; they staged a coup, ousted their democratically elected incumbent, and installed Kamala Harris… It really makes you consider the power of prayer, right Cardinal? Sometimes prayers take three and a half years and a George Clooney op-ed… Of course Joe Biden was our second Catholic president, after JFK. President Biden could not be here tonight, the DNC made sure of that.”Sometimes comedy is brutally honest, and I encourage everyone, especially Dem-ocrats, to watch the entire hilarious ceremo-ny; as well as, Joe Rogan’s interview with President Trump. The Rogan interview lasted nearly three hours, touching on many topics. What was an intriguing aspect of the inter-view were not the questions Joe Rogan asked President Trump; but, the questions President Trump asked Joe Rogan. Please, regardless if you have already voted or not, watch this interview, it was absolutely fascinating (lan-guage warning). It is very clear that voters, including some Democrats, are becoming aware. Aware, they were lied to. Aware, the Democrat nominee for Presi-dent was not democratically elected. Aware, motorcycles do not have pedals. Aware, there is a multi-tiered justice sys-tem. Aware, that “Trump Derangement Syn-drome” is real and easily cured by thinking for yourself. Aware, the organizations limiting free speech are never the good guys. Aware, government can never be the arbi-trators of truth. Aware, of the irony of a socialist calling someone an authoritarian.

In the moun-tains, it flows. And flows, taking down anything in its path.Most of his time was spent on patrols, and the res-idents were glad to see those patrols.“It shows how well peo-ple can come together and take care of themselves,” Crater said. “One person set up a grill, and fed everybody every day. No charge. They were very pleased to have us there, and would always Recovery ... Davie Sheriff J.D. Hartman with officers who served in the mountains, from left: Mitchell mission, Sgt. Jason Robertson, Deputy Nathan Whitley, Lt. Mike Butero, sheriff, Deputy Christopher Andres, and Lt. Mark Crater; at at right, the McDowell mission, Deputy Christopher Andrews, Deputy Jalen Scottt, Lt. Mark Crater, sheriff, Sgt. Christopher Gaddy, and Deputy Mike Foster. thank us for coming.”•Deputy Nathan Whit-ley was among the younger Davie deputies to volunteer for the project, spending his time in Mitchell County.“To me, it’s just helping out my fellow North Carolin-ians. The opportunity arose, and I had to jump at it.”He spent his time on pa- trol, and helping to find peo-ple.“We did a lot of welfare checks. Churches would have lists of people, and we would try to go track them down. There were volunteers from all over the United States. It was mind blowing.“The way that community came together was amazing. Everybody was keeping their heads up. They’re tough peo-ple up there.”While there, his mind be-gan to think about Davie. “I took a lot of mental notes, things I would try to mention if we had something like that to happen here.”For one, he learned that churches played an important role in helping people. With the abundance of churches in Davie, that would be a natu-ral starting point, he said.•Sgt. Chris Gaddy spent his time in McDowell Coun-ty. “It’s just part of the job. You have to have a servant’s heart.”Old Fort, he said, looked like a war zone. Most of his work was law enforcement related, some of it just to let people know they were around. They also helped at supply distribution points.“There was absolutely no communication system when we got there,” Gaddy said. “Nobody was prepared. The water had moved houses and caused a lot of damage and Chief Deputy Brian Jacobs talks with Sgt. Christo- pher Gaddy; and below, Deputy Nathan Whitley and Sgt. Jason Robertson talk about their time in the mountains. Scenes of damage are everywhere in Mitchell County. destruction.”Even the bear he encoun-tered, the first he had ever seen, had lost its home, Gad-dy said. “A lot of wildlife was displaced. It’s heartbreaking. It’s going to take years for that area to recover.”•Sgt. Jason Robertson agreed.“There’s a lot of mess and a lot of clean up to go up there. It was just awful.”The group was housed at an unoccupied school build-ing, which also had a site for National Guard and Samar-itan’s Purse helicopters to land and take off.“Most of the people we talked to were in pretty good spirits,” he said. “There are some really good people up there. Most would say they were blessed beyond mea-sure.”None of the residents said anything about moving. He was in Mitchell County, where generations of fam-ilies still live. It’s a remote area with a lot of National Forest land, and few roads to get to anywhere. He remem-bers the third generation owner of Thomas Grocery, near the Tennessee state line, who vowed to open again some day.There were places where every tree for 100 yards was laid down. If it was along the river, it was just gone. He remembers driving through one area with mud walls on both sides of the road, where it had been moved to allow for travel.“The dump trucks were running non stop. The Na-tional Guard was working on the Toe River road to make it passable.“It makes you think, what if something like this hap-pened here (Davie)? Would we be prepared for it?”•Lt. Wes Martin said that even after mid-October, he talked to someone daily who had just gotten telephone ser-vice, or electricity. He saw one instance where it took three days to restore elec-tricity to one customer. The homes are that far apart, and the number of roads to get around are limited.The Mitchell Sheriff’s Office has only 24 employ-ees, and they had been work-ing almost non-stop before the help arrived. “We were there for law enforcement duties, sometimes just be-ing visible at the distribution centers.” The Davie officers answered some calls, and made many welfare checks.They couldn’t go 10 min-utes without someone thank-ing them for being there.“The amount of supplies coming in was amazing,” Martin said. “Everybody tru-ly wanted to help each oth-er.”And if they need more help, Davie will be ready to respond.“Sheriff Hartman said we’ll keep on going up there as long as we are needed,” Martin said.Davie’s contingencies were a part of the N.C. Sher-iff’s Association’s coordi-nated effort to provide sup-plemental law enforcement officers to those communi-ties.A total of 78 sheriff’s of-fices in the state sent crews, some with special equipment to help with recovery efforts. Davie took marked UTVs to help with patrols. The Davie contigent’s sleeping quarters in Mitchell.

Most, if not all, have one or more of her creations.There’s the granddaugh-ter who received a special “Carolina” quilt upon her graduation from the Uni-versity of North Carolina. “She’s so proud of it,” Wy-lene said, “that if the house caught fire, that’s the first thing you get.”“My family, anytime someone got married, they got a quilt. I gave them quilts for special occasions, but my closets are still full.”Wylene and Marianna Smoot started the quilt guild.“We both loved it, and had a lot of friends who quilted,” she said. “We got them all together and that’s how it started.”Members of the club have donated thousands of quilts to charitable causes over the years, from Project Linus quilts to one Wylene went door to door at local busi-nesses selling them a photo-graph to go on the quilt, with money going for a museum in Davie County.While at her birthday celebration, she wanted to make sure that quilt was be-ing taken care of; and was assured that it was in a vault at the Davie County Public Library, waiting to go on display again if a museum is ever realized.Wylene attended guild meetings regularly until 2020. Meetings are at 1 p.m. on the third Monday of each month at the library. Each features a speaker or theme, and there are work days when members bring sewing machines and work together to make quilted items to do-nate to charities.“We have lots of show and tell,” said Donna Hare, who along with Ann Cline, are the only charter club members still attending. “We learn from each other.”“We like to see what other guilds do, too,” said member Diane Bromley. “We’re very productive for such a small group (21 members).”Members inspire each other.

Not only do they support their teams, they help spread cheer. Cornatzaer Cougar cheerleaders Maddie Robertson and Jose Orsillo did just that on a recent visit to Somerset Assisted Living in Mocksville. At times using pink pom poms in support of breast cancer awareness month, the girls prepared 14 cheers to perform, reminding residents of football games and other sporting events from their youth. Among those receiving the cheer, from left above: Eric Wooten, Teresa Tucker, Jane Canter and Bill McKinley. Spreading Cheer By Lynette WikleBermuda Run Garden Club The saying, “when the bloom is off the roses” seems to imply that a season has come to an end, but members of the Bermuda Run Garden Club learned at their October meeting that it’s just the be-ginning. The club met on Oct. 2 at the clubhouse for a soup and sandwich lunch. Host-esses Beth Wright and Amy Bridges provided an autumn centerpiece created with live flowers and a fresh pumpkin. To add to the fall feeling they placed at each member’s seat a favor of candy corn and other sweets cinched with a black plastic spider. Deborah Capps gave the invocation and lifted up the people of Western North Carolina.The details of exhibiting for the Carolina Classic Fair were made final, as well as plans for the Oct. 19 shred-ding event. Thanks to Bon-nie Rockaway and Marie La-barowski for chairing those committees. Several accounts of indi-viduals and agencies helping with the aftermath of Hurri-cane Helene were mentioned and members came prepared with donations of hand san-itizer, cleaning supplies and paper products that were tak-en to the mountains the next day.Susan Hawkins, guest speaker, was introduced by President Donna Lamonds. Hawkins is the horticulture agent with Davie County Extension. The Extension Service is a nationwide or-ganization whose mission is to give practical solutions that are research-based to individuals, businesses and communities. Agents like Hawkins consult one-on-one with people who seek help with agriculture and food; help farmers and assist with technology; teach about health and nutrition; and teach youth life skills. There are 75 chapters of the Master Gardeners programs across the state under the guidance of the agency. NC State and NC A&T University are con-tributing educational part-ners. The Extension Service is funded through the U.S. Department of Agriculture and state and county budgets. Ms. Hawkins encouraged members to get their hands in the dirt. With slides, she shared that now is the time to think about next year’s garden. She showed how to propagate by seed, and how tricky but rewarding this can be. She told us that perennial seeds are more difficult be-cause of seed coatings that may require ‘scarification’ and showed that technique. We learned about environ-mental dormancy, internal stratification and the prop-er way to soak seeds before planting. Her expertise was impres-sive and she gave us another reason to appreciate our local greenhouse operators who do all this work for us.She reminded members that help with any of the ar-eas mention is just a phone call away. The office is in Mocksville.

DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Oct. 31, 2024 - B1Sports By Brian PittsEnterprise Record The Davie Family YMCA opened its doors in 1991, Davie High had its first swim team in 1991-92 and the legend of Brian Tribble was born when the War Eagles competed against Smith in their first ever meet. Despite fighting pneumonia, Tribble finished first in the 50 free and 100 free. Coach Karen Umberg-er said then: “Brian’s only at about 60 percent.” Tribble was a talented three-sport athlete, but he was a marvel in the water, earning all-state honors three times in two years and getting inducted into the latest hall of fame class with Carrie Brown McGuire (Class of 1994), Tami Ramsey (1996), Raeshon McNeil (2006), Alex Appelt (2008) and the 2015-18 girls tennis teams. The 2025 Davie Athletic Hall of Fame class will be honored at the home basketball game on Jan. 17. Tribble only has one regret - his mother won’t be there on Jan. 17. Shelia Tribble passed away at age 67 on Feb. 25, 2016. She was one of a kind. A teacher/coach in Davie County Schools for 23 years who retired from South Davie in 2009, she had an unmistakable voice and a huge laugh. “I know how much she would’ve enjoyed this - because, quite frank- Hall of Famer Tribble a 3-time all-state swimmer ly, she was the driving force for everything that I ever did with sports,” said Tribble, who lives in Wilmington with wife Whitney Moyer Tribble. They have two boys - Burke, 19, and Ethan, 16. “My mom is the reason we ended up getting a high school (swim) team. When news of the Davie County Y broke, she started lobbying people, started driving the bus and doing all that kind of stuff.”In football, Tribble was a two-way varsity starter at defensive back and receiver as a junior and senior. He was good enough at DB to make the Winston-Salem Journal’s All-Northwest Honorable Mention team. “My football claim to fame was sneaking on the honorable mention list,” he said. “I don’t think I was deserving of that, but it’s fun to be huge football fans like my family is and just have a little something like that.”But when Tribble appeared on the front page of the Enterprise sports section wearing a speedo, his football teammates let him have it. “When you’re on the football team after you’ve been on the front page of the sports wearing a speedo ... they were unrelenting with the jokes and everything,” he said, laughing. “It was a lot of fun. I wish I had that picture. That was a great picture back in the day.”Tribble had brilliant speed, set-ting then-school records in the 400 and 200 while running track as a sophomore and junior. He didn’t run track as a senior because he was pre-paring for a Division-I swim career. While Tribble relished his time in football and track, swimming was his gift. The first Davie swim squads were coached by Umberger, who was assisted by Shelia and Mike Smith. They had 14 girls and 10 boys. The Davie boys enjoyed their first win in the third meet. Tribble captured the 50 free and 100 butterfly as Davie scored 95 points to East Forsyth’s 89 and Smith’s 78. He swam the 200 free relay with Cam Kofke, Matt Osborne and Matt Jones. In the 4-A Western Regional at Davidson Col-lege, Tribble qualified for the state by placing fourth in the 50 and fifth in the 100 backstroke. The next week at UNC, Tribble achieved his first all-state honor by finishing sixth in the 50 free (the top six in each event made all-state). “I’ll be honest, I did not know,” he said. “I remember placing sixth, but I did not know what qualified as all-state. Somebody came up and said: ‘You realize the top six makes this?’ And I said: ‘Really?’”There was a new rule in 1992-93: a swimmer could only participate in two events. “We’re trying to find where he’ll swim,” Umberger said of Tribble. “He can swim everything and any-thing. It’s just figuring out what expertise to highlight. He’s a good freestyler. He’s good in the butterfly and good in the backstroke.”Tribble was swimming 1:54 in the 200 and 57 seconds in the but-terfly, beating everybody in sight and getting recruited in swimming and football. “Brian is not a cocky child at all,” Umberger said then. “He’s all business. He’s always willing to help but he doesn’t want to seem like a know-it-all. He just leads by example. Because he is a quality swimmer, the kids see the proper By Brian PittsEnterprise Record After hobbling through the roughest patch in program history, Davie’s football team trailed for less than three minutes, unleashed a month’s worth of frustrations and got a much-needed win at Parkland on Oct. 25. “I don’t think we can put into words how hungry we were,” coach Tim Devericks said after Davie won 38-22 after getting outscored by 155 points by East Forsyth, Reagan, Mt. Tabor and West Forsyth. “We faced a tough stretch and you learn things By Brian PittsEnterprise Record Colt Miller completed 16 of 29 passes and threw two touchdowns as Davie’s JV football team broke a two-game slide with a 23-8 home win over Parkland on Oct. 24. Oh, and by the way, Miller has barely played any quarterback. The season began with Draeton Nance at QB, but he was quickly moved up to varsity. Colin Harrison took over but he’s missed most of the past two games with a sprained ankle. That’s when Davie turned to Miller, the Miller, Knox step up for JVs brother of Ty Miller, a freshman at Arkansas State who starred at QB in 2022-23. “He’s thrown routes on air, but not a whole lot,” coach Tim Devericks said. “Obviously he has watched his brother play over the years. People sometimes doubt Colt, but he is sneaky athletic and he’s really intelligent.”Coach Spencer Pasciolla said it’s admirable what Miller did in his first start at QB after moving over from receiver. “You cannot ask more for a guy to play the hardest position in foot- ball and to be as accurate as he is and diagnose things as well as he does,” he said. With a smile, he added: “It’s almost like he has it in his blood or something.”The offensive catalyst was Cam Knox, who started the year at re-ceiver, moved to running back and moved back to receiver. He rose to the occasion with 12 receptions for 114 yards while catching both of Miller’s TD strikes. “We were a little short receiver, so Knox move back to receiver,” Devericks said. Please See JVs - Page B4 Fake punt sparks win for Davie football through that stretch. And they kept learning and kept fighting and kept battling, and little things along the way have helped us improve.”The first big play was something that came entirely out of nowhere. Davie had fourth-and-3 at the Park-land 34, and Devericks sent out the punt team. But instead of David Pat-ton trying a coffin-corner kick, the snap went to upman Elijah Chaffin, the sophomore linebacker and No. 1 tackler who had not carried the ball in his Davie career. He made a couple jukes and thundered 25 yards to the Parkland 9. Four plays later, Davie had a first-quarter lead. “It’s been in our pocket a long time,” Devericks said. “We had not had an opportune time to run it. We practice it every week and coach Nic (Blaine Nicholson) is always in my ear about it. It was executed real well.”Moments after Chaffin’s un-expected run, kicker Max McCall sustained a pretty improbable streak. He banged through a career-long 41-yard field goal, beating his previous best by a yard, to make him 5 for 5 in his two years at Davie, including 4-4 as a senior. “The consistency with which he strikes the ball has gotten better,” Devericks said. “When he was first kicking, he would boom one and then he would miss two or three. He has improved his consistency tremendously.”But the Mustangs are not the doormat they used to be. Although they are 3-6 overall and 1-5 in the CPC, they hung with West Forsyth in 22-19 defeat, and West throttled Davie 48-10 on Oct. 18. Their back-up quarterback, who was playing presumably due to an injury to the starter, completed a 29-yard pass and Parkland scored on a 6-yard run to take a 7-3 lead with 2:35 left in the first. But freshman Dahrien Boston’s turnovers - he went 15 of 26 for 196 yards while filling in for junior Ethan Bailey, but threw three interceptions - made it fairly easy for Davie (3-6, 2-4 CPC) to surge to a comfortable lead and cruise to its seventh straight win in the series. Patton’s terrific 41-yard punt pinned Parkland at its own 11 and Colson Sink’s INT set up Davie at the Parkland 20. “(Sink) was trying to reroute that guy,” Devericks said. “The guy squatted behind him. He turned his Please See Win - Page B4 By Brian PittsEnterprise Record The Davie tennis team turned in a thunderous win in the first round of the dual team state playoffs. When the War Eagles pushed aside visiting Southeast Guilford 5-1, they stopped a five-match los-ing streak in the 4-A playoffs and notched their first postseason victory since 2016. Davie, seeded sixth in the West Region, was just 3-16 all-time in the playoffs before burying the 27th-seeded Falcons on Oct. 21. It was a clinical dissection from Elliot Newsome (6-1, 6-0), Corbin Drum (6-1, 6-0), Bailey Aderhold (6-0, 6-0), Kate Chaffin (6-0, 6-0) and Casey Cao (6-1, 6-1) as Davie clinched victory in singles and con-tinued to torpedo everyone in its path; the running score in its 15-0 record was 124-8. “It was great,” coach Collin Fere-bee said. “Bailey came off and said: ‘That is the best tennis I’ve played all year.’ That’s a great time to do it.“I told the girls we’re in a elite company just by winning one be-cause Davie has not won a lot in the playoffs.”The win was significant for an-other reason: Ferebee became the 49-year-old program’s winningest coach at 95-24 in eight years. Sandra Boyette was No. 1 by going 94-46 over nine years from 2006-14. “It took about an hour. We took care of business,” Ferebee said. “Their goal was to get further than last year, and we accomplished that on top of staying (CPC) champions.”He gave player of the match to his top seed. “I could’ve given it to everyone, but the reason I picked Elliot is we don’t get here without her leader-ship, her on-court experience and all that,” he said. “It was kind of a lifetime achievement player of the match.” Tennis joins elite company Please See Elite - Page B3 Please See Tribble - Page B3 By Brian PittsEnterprise Record Ty Cozart of the South Davie boys basketball team and Nolan Al-len of North Davie were electric to watch in the first week of the middle school season. The Tigers held a 21-17 halftime lead against visiting Corriher-Lipe in the opener on Oct. 22. In the third quarter, the game turned into The Cozart Show. The eighth grader went bananas in the third, scoring 16 of South’s 20 points with four 3-pointers to open up a 41-27 lead. South went on to win 50-35. Last year Cozart scored a total of 19 points in a reserve role for the Tigers, who went 16-1 behind the trio of Draeton Nance (22.1 ppg), Noah Dulin (18.4) and William Martin (10.5). Those three are fresh-men now, and Cozart tapped into his potential and finished with 24 points and six 3s. “One fell in the third quarter and they just kept falling,” coach Germain Mayfield said. “They were transition pull-up 3s. He just caught fire. He’s always been talented, he just hasn’t played with confidence. He found it today. It was tight and we did not pull away until he got hot in the third.”South got six points from Jared Vaughters, five from Anderson Bra-nham, Wyatt Tucker and Malachi Miller, three from Kayden Young and two from James Martin. It was an especially good win since South was missing Dreighton Lunnerman and Colson Dulin. “We played without two start-ers,” Mayfield said. “We were probably missing 20 points.”The roster includes Crosby Park-er, Bentley Caudle, Bentley Perez, Cozart, Allen lead teams in basketball wins Please See South - Page B5 Brian Tribble (left) congratulates Earnhardt Harris for breaking his butterfly record in February of 2023.

He works out with the Y team for two hours.”William & Mary was recruiting Tribble in both sports. “But I’m also looking at Alabama, East Carolina and Tennessee,” Tribble said then. In the Central Piedmont Conference championship meet at Grimsley, Tribble won the 50 and the butterfly. His 54.82 time in the fly shattered the CPC record by 2.12 seconds. The 400 relay team of Tribble, Kofke, Seth Newman and Josh Nail made all-conference by finishing second. In the Western Regional, Tribble took third in the but-terfly at 53.96 and fourth in the 50 at 22.63. Tribble wrote another chapter in his Davie legend at the state meet at UNC’s Koury Natatorium. He was second in the 50 at 21.58; JJ Marus of Page was first at 21.47. Although he was tantalizingly close to a state championship, Tribble was ecstatic at being runner-up. “Thinking back, I remem-ber realizing how lucky and fortunate I was to even be in that position,” he said last week. “I had done my best time ever, I was so happy to have gone as fast as I did. I did not have any expectation that I was going to be at that level at that point in time. It’s Continued From Page B1Davie’s only loser in sin-gles was an under-the-weath-er Leah Gibson at No. 4. “Leah did not win, but she was feeling kind of sick,” he said. “If she’s healthy, she wins.”Catholic 6, Davie 0The War Eagles’ run ended in the second round on Oct. 23 against visiting Charlotte Catholic. Although 11th-seeded Cougars shut out Davie, the War Eagles were not overwhelmed. Tribble ... a lot of fun to look back on it.”In the state’s 100 butter-fly, Rob Masten of Jordan claimed first at 51.20, Marus was next at 51.64 and Trib-ble took the bronze medal at 51.96. That made him all-state in two events. Again, he was agonizingly close to being a state champ in two events. “I was able to finish bet-ter than I had ever finished before, so again it was sur-prising and a real credit to the coaches because so much of that is preparing the swim-mers to do what they have to do,” he said. “They put me in that position and I did not realize that I was going to be able to finish that strong.”Tribble’s brilliant Davie career included the mythical state title in the 100 free. He swam 47.5 in his leg of the 400 relay, and the winning in-dividual time was 48 seconds. “What I swam in the 50 would have won the state the last four years,” he said then. When he wasn’t starring for the War Eagles, Trib-ble was competing for his Winston YMCA team in na-tional events. In Fort Lau-derdale, Fl., his 200 free relay team finished second at 1:25.80. Tribble was a YMCA All-American. In the 1993 YMCA Na-tional Championships, Trib-ble was fifth in the 100 free and seventh in the 50 free. And he could always hear his mom’s megaphone voice.“I could hear her in the water,” he said. “I remember being in the water in the 50 free, holding my breath, and I could hear my mother from the stands cheering for me. I have such fond memories of that.”Tribble’s best times at Davie: 51.96 in the 100 but-terfly, 21.37 in the 50 free and 47.14 in the 100 free. The 50 and 100 times remain Davie records. His butterfly mark stood for 30 years ... until Earnhardt Harris pulled off a 51.62. “I watched (Harris) break my butterfly record (in 2022-23), and that was awesome,” said Tribble, who witnessed it as he watched his son Burke represent his Ashley High team. “He is good. He is very talented. I was at the state championship meet watching my son when he broke my 100 fly record, so I went down and found him.”Tribble cemented his lega-cy by earning a scholarship to Alabama. Smith played a big role in Tribble getting to swim for an iconic coach. “What I recall is Mike Smith was on a business trip,” he said. “He went out of his way to stop in Tuscaloosa to see the head coach. (Jonty Skinner) was this legendary swimmer from South Africa. He blew away the world record in the 100 free. Mike took film of me, sat down with those coaches and told them my story - because most swimmers swam year-round. It was really the only sport they played. And here I am, I had done it for summers mostly and when I did get a chance to do it year-round, I was doing it for about an hour a day. So they took a chance on me.”Tribble flew to Alabama for a recruiting visit. “They showed me the football stadi-um, the Bear Bryant Museum, everything,” he said then. “The campus was awesome.”He chose Bama over East Carolina and William & Mary. It was the easiest deci-sion of his life. “My mom and dad (Mike) brought me home from the hospital wearing an Alabama football jersey,” he said last week. “My family is huge Alabama fans and I would’ve been thrilled given the chance to play badminton at the University of Alabama, much less be on the swim team. Just being a part of the athletic program was a dream come true.”For Tribble to earn a schol-arship to Bama was truly remarkable considering he played three sports and did not begin swimming year-round until his sophomore year. “My love was always foot-ball,” he said. “Swimming was always just a summer league. I started working at Hickory Hill and that’s how I got to swim in the summers. I did it casually and had a lot of fun with it.”When Tribble got to Tus-caloosa, he found himself sur-rounded by supremely talent-ed teammates. He handled it gracefully, swimming for the Crimson Tide for three years before missing his senior year with a right shoulder injury. In 1995, he was a member of Alabama’s SEC champion-ship squad that finished fifth in the conference. A year later, he helped Bama finish sixth at the SEC Championships. He was also an Academic All-SEC selection and a member of the SEC Student-Athlete Honor Roll. “It was a multi-national team,” he said. “My suite-mates were from England, South Africa, New Zealand - guys from all over the world. Not only were they year-round swimmers, many of them had already competed for their country’s Olympic teams. “To be very blunt, I was certainly underdeveloped from a mechanic standpoint just from the fact that I had not done it as long as a lot of those other guys. So I had to work really hard. Unfortu-nately, because of that I had some shoulder issues - not right away, but they started to present themselves sooner than I would have liked as a result of probably having not done it as long to build some of the muscles in certain areas to perform at that level.”What was practice like at a big-time college? “It was always done in yardage,” he said. “I was in the sprint group and there were days we would do 10,000 yards in a practice. We had two-a-days. There were days you had to be up in the mornings at 4:30 to be in the water by 5:30 and then go to an 8 o’clock class, and then come back in the after-noon and get back in the water again. It was intense, that’s all I can say. It was a lot, but looking back on it I would not change it for anything.”Tribble became a utility man for the Tide. He swam the 50 free, 100 free, 100 fly and relays. And he cherishes every memory. “I was good at relays,” he said. “I had the opportunity to make two SEC championship squads. We were in the top 20 (in the country) my first two years, which was really cool. It was absolutely a phenom-enal experience just to be a part of that.” Elite ... Newsome (3-6, 4-6), Aderhold (3-6, 3-6), Gibson (6-7, 0-6), Chaffin (4-6, 4-6) and Cao (4-6, 2-6) made their opponents work hard for the win. “We had some administra-tion and teachers watching, and all of them were like: ‘That was some impressive tennis to watch,’” Ferebee said. “It took two hours just to play singles. It was a heck of a battle against a really good team.”The Cougars (19-3) ex- tended their winning streak to 10. “That’s a great school,” Ferebee said. “I think they have the most amount of state championships in general (in the state). We knew we were going to get a battle, and that’s absolutely what we got. I told the girls: ‘I don’t care what the score is. We know they’re good. You play until the last point and I’ll be happy.’ My gosh, they won but they had to take it from us. We did not just give it to them.” It drew the curtain on an-other special season for the War Eagles, who reached the second round for just the third time ever. The others came in 2001 and 2016, when they advanced to the third round. At 15-1, Davie finished with one loss for the fourth time in nine years. Davie is 57-5 across four seasons and it lit Ferebee’s CPC cigar for the fourth straight year. Catholic also ended a ca-reer for the ages. Newsome played No. 1 from her fresh- man year on and went 20-2 this season and 60-12 in her singles career. Couple that with a 43-5 doubles record and Newsome’s singles/dou-bles record was 103-17. The only other senior was Abigail Etter. “We met on the court after-wards,” Ferebee said. “It was a sad moment because both of them have been excellent am-bassadors for Davie women’s tennis. But at the same time, I don’t think there’s a more fitting way to go out - if we had to lose - than taking on one of the best teams in the state and making them have to beat us. “A lot of (Newsome’s) losses were to either Sam (McEachran, who starred at West Forsyth from 2020-23) or in the playoffs and regionals.”Davie had sensational re-cords up and down the lineup. Drum and Cao went 15-1 as a sophomore and junior, re-spectively. Chaffin and Ader-hold went 14-2 as a freshman and junior. Gibson went 12-6 as a sophomore. The Davie volleyball team’s first-round playoff match was a microcosm of its season. The War Eagles lost 3-2 at Cuthbertson on Oct. 22, making them 0-4 in five-set matches this season. The Cavaliers, seeded 11th in the West Region, narrowly dodged the upset and improved to 20-6, while No. 22 Davie (11-12) finished with a losing record for the first time since 2014, the year before coach Amber Brandon arrived.

Davie was ready to punt on fourth-and-9 from the Win ... Parkland 38 with the 10-7 lead, but Parkland’s DL jumped before the snap and Devericks sent his offense back on the field for a fourth-and-4. Nance connected with the always-reliable Ethan Driver on an out-route for a pickup of seven. Then Nance pump faked to Driver under-neath and looked deep. His cousin, Landon Waller, was running free and the 23-yard score bumped Davie’s lead to 17-7. “It was something that we had been setting up,” Dever-icks said. “We were getting good yardage on the screens and Landon has done a great job all year with those plays and working his tail off with blocking. And it was great to see him rewarded. (Nance) did a good job of setting it up, just giving a slight shoul-der hesitation to get the DB moving.”The Mustangs had a chance to close the gap right before halftime, but a pinball interception protected the 10-point lead. Boston’s pass from the Davie 7 deflected off two War Eagles and Chaffin swooped in to make the pick near the goal line with 40 seconds left in the half. “It went off of Landon King’s hands and then it went off of Connor Hood‘s hands,” Devericks said. “Elijah was running to the ball and it just fell right in his pocket.”The War Eagles opened the second half with their hair on fire. Nance tossed a bubble screen to Dallas Simms, who weaved for 13 yards. Run-ning back Braxton Bowling, a strong sophomore, took it from there. He flattened a defender on a 22-yard run. On the next play, he bounced outside for a 30-yard TD that made it 24-7. Later in the third, Bowl-ing finished a 16-yard run with at least five Mustangs on his back. He went for a season-high 115 yards on 21 carries. “He kept his legs going all night,” Devericks said. “The offensive line at times was really clicking on all cylinders and giving him good holes to burst through.”The Mustangs drove 80 yards in seven plays to close the gap to 24-14, but Davie never allowed them any real hope because of a huge sack, Patton’s clutch punts and Nance’s three-TD effort. Parkland was in Davie territory with a chance to make it a one-score game when Chaffin and Jack Boger blitzed on a second-and-6 play. Both applied substan-tial pressure on Boston and Dylan Miller came in and lowered the boom and caused a fumble. Parkland recovered the fumble but lost 20 yards and turned it over on downs at midfield. “They were moving the ball a little bit and we dialed up a pressure,” Devericks said. Another Patton punt pinned Parkland at its 10, and the Mustangs were circling the drain when Boston threw incomplete on fourth-and-14 from their 19. Davie, which only man-aged 31 points during the four-game losing streak, scored the backbreaker a minute later. Nance rolled left, wrong-footed the defense and turned right. Running back Jamarius Pelote was wide open for a 5-yard TD that made it 31-14 with only 4:41 remaining. Nance completed 20 pass-es, including six to Driver, five to Simms, four to Hughes and three to Waller. The Mustangs were unrav-eling in the fourth and they fumbled from their own 4. Davie recovered at the Park-land 1 and Bowling plunged into the end zone to widen the margin to 38-14. Parkland drove 80 yards and capped the scoring with a 1:32 left. Notes: Davie won com-fortably despite having less first downs (18-17), fewer yards (337-264) and going 2 of 12 on third downs. A big factor was turnovers; Davie had one to Parkland’s four. Gavin Reese had the other INT. ... This is the final week of the regular season. Davie will host Glenn on Friday night at 7 on Senior Night.

It was the most War Ea-gles competing together Continued From Page B1William Sandoval and Eman-uel Cheek. South 44, China Grove 12South didn’t have to break a sweat at China Grove, lead-ing 25-5 at halftime and win-ning for the 31st time in 35 tries across three seasons. Cozart banged three more 3s and led South with 11 points. Branham and Vaugh-ters had seven each, while Parker and Lunnerman had six apiece. Martin had three. Dulin and Perez had two. Erwin 51, North 43Erwin and visiting North were tied at 31 at the end of the third, but the Wildcats’ opener ended in heartbreak in the coaching debut for Caleb Davis. (Trevor Gooch was the coach the past seven years.)Allen’s superb effort (25 points) was not enough as North got outscored 20-12 in the fourth. Allen, who aver-aged 6.7 last year, is the top returning scorer. “Nolan is a long wing player with a great outside shot and the ability to drive and create for himself,” Da-vis said. “He’s an 8th-grade returning starter whose expe-rience at this level has been a great asset for the team. He’s also aggressive on defense and had a lot of deflected passes that led to fast breaks for us. He’s still working on his ability to handle point-guard responsibilities on a more regular basis. Once that locks in, he has huge potential.”Levi Morales had nine, Glen Greene five, Tannyr Carrier three and Wade Rid-enhour one. “The entire starting five (Allen, Carrier, Ridenhour, Morales and Greene) played great halfcourt defense and gobbled up just about every rebound,” Davis said. The roster includes Lelan Small, Mason Brookshire, Jeremiah Hernandez, Silas Whittaker, Peyton Jordan. Jodee Rosales, Hudson Pfaff and Charlie Oliver. “They are a great group of kids and I’m excited for the rest of the season,” Davis said. North 61, Southeast 43Allen delivered heroics in North’s road win on Oct. 24. His 32-point performance marked the most by a Wildcat in 96 games. Holy smokes. “And he only played about 90 seconds in the fourth (quarter),” Davis said. “We thought about letting him go for 40, but we put the sec-ond group in when got to a 30-point lead and they were able to get some good minutes in and keep the lead at 20.”Ridenhour made an im-pression with 14 points. Car-rier had nine, Hernandez four and Morales two as North halted a seven-game losing streak dating to last year. Thank You!

Kate Sakai paced her team with a 20-over 92, the senior tying for 41st out of 85 players. Junior Kori Bai-ley was next at 97, tying for 55th. They were followed by senior Callie Wisecarver (106), sophomore Gwynyth Swan (107) and senior Re- ese Ward (113). Davie finished 14th in a field of 16 teams. The med-alist fired a 68, and the cut line to advance was 84. Only three players from the CPC qualified for the state; there were two from Reagan and one from West Forsyth. South ... “Wade has an endless motor and is very aggressive on the defensive end,” Davis said. “He had a lot of open looks in our first game that just didn’t go in. Tonight he really worked well within the flow of the offense and found himself open and con-verted when the ball came his way. He did particularly well slicing up their zone defense by working the elbows and hitting his midrange oppor-tunities.”Allen’s points were the most by a North player since James Wilkins had 37 against Quality Education Academy in January of 2017. Ellis 53, C-Lipe 24Jordan Crowley provided a spark and Ellis absolutely destroyed Corriher-Lipe on the road on Oct. 24. Crowley had 10 of his team-high 14 points in the first quarter. Mason Driver (10 points, five steals, three assists), Bowman Blakley (six points, seven rebounds), Henry Migliarese (six points) and Graham Weaver (five points, seven rebounds) con-tributed to the obliteration of the Yellow Jackets. “We looked real good,” said Roger Blalock, who moved over from the Ellis JV girls and replaced Alexis Hopper as coach. “Even our big guy, Henry, knocked down a 3. Mason and Jordan forced a lot of turnovers. Bowman had a bunch of steals, too.”And then: “The main scor-ers are going to be Mason, Jordan and Bowman. Bow-man got in foul trouble early in the game and had to sit most of the second quarter.”Ben Bost’s work off the bench did not go unnoticed. He scored two and racked up six assists. Peyton Fishel had four points, while Cam James, Ryan Richardson and Bentley Carter had two each. The roster includes Wade Hefner, Blake Allen and Jo-seph Burchette. “Ben came in off the bench and did pretty good,” Blalock said. Senior Callie Wisecarver has her final putt and tees off on No. 10.

It was a giddy win for a team that closed last year with five straight losses. The Tigers trailed 8-5 after the first quarter, 21-19 at halftime and 33-32 after the third. But they scored 19 fourth-quarter points and won going away. Akiela Young (seven of her career-high nine points in the fourth), Allie Cothren (six of her 18 in the fourth to match her career high) and Emma Grace Snow (five of her career-high 11 in the fourth) were huge reasons for the gutty triumph. “(Young) is a seventh grader who is going to go places,” coach Julie Snow said. “Her work ethic in the offseason for basketball is phenomenal. Her ball han-dling reminds me of Rylea Carter. She handles defensive pressure well.First Pitch Dinner Nov. 2 The Davie First Pitch Din-ner 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 pro-grams.

By Shirley ThorneCounty Line Correspondent Sunday, Nov. 3, we • Upcoming Games • South girls scorch it in the fourth “(Cothren’s) a force to be reckoned with. She was ev-erywhere - on the floor, hus-tling, dribbling, rebounding. “(Snow’s) confidence on offense is there, and her de-fense is improving. She had some turnovers in the first half and coach (Beth) Carter took care of her during halftime and she really improved the second half.”Sakariah Allison (four points), Kady Joyce (four) and Mi’kayla Gibbs (two) helped South put up the most points in 32 games, dating to a 61-20 win over North Davie in January of 2022. Unfortu-nately, S. Allison suffered a foot injury three minutes into the game and did not return. “We weren’t sure what to expect (from Gibbs, a move-in from Erwin), but she gave us good minutes off the bench,” Snow said. “She will be effective when she gains confidence. She makes a great sixth man. “(Joyce’s) defense kept us in the game. She forced turn-overs and really stepped up her hustle in the second half.” The roster includes Shania Brown, Zariah Allison, Karil-eigh Munday, Sharia Tillery and Addyson Adkins. “(Brown) played phenom-enal defense,” Snow said. “She is a completely different player from last year. If we could take Emma Grace’s offense and Shania’s defense and make one player, we’d have a beast.”Erwin 39, North 18North Davie only trailed by five at halftime, but it fad-ed in the third quarter and lost its opener on the road. The Wildcats got eight points from Jaynie Patton, five from Zariya Oliver, three from Camilla Sa’ and two from Callaway Spillman. The rest of the North roster: Zoe Shore, Emma Phommavanh, Zoey Dillard, Mallory Blackwelder, Bella Barnette and Adalyne Phil-lips. Southeast 23, North 17It was tied at 16 at the end of the third, but the Wildcats couldn’t buy a bucket in the fourth and lost at Southeast. The scorers were Patton (sev-en), Oliver (five), Sa’ (two), Barnette (two) and Spillman (one). “We just could not shoot tonight,” coach Austin King said. “If we hit a couple of our shots, we definitely win.”Ellis LosesAfter going 17-0 last year, Ellis is rebuilding under new coach Oscar Dixon, who replaced Susan Jones at the helm. The Jaguars dropped their opener at Corriher-Lipe. Dixon’s girls are Kins-ley Harbour, Layla Hazlip, Ellyanna Holbrook, Sophia McMurray, Reese Rye, Mi-randa Sapp, Karah Shore, Zoe Summers, Addysin Thomas, Katie Ward, Sydney Ward and Annabelle Wright. 7-0 as the Titans roared to 19-0-1. But two days later, the War Eagles had a chance but couldn’t get over the hump, losing 2-1 to Parkland. Davie’s goal was a penalty kick by Hunter Stephens. It dropped to 0-12 in the CPC despite 20 saves from Felipe Flores, who stopped a PK. He got help from Abdullah Gu-ver, Justin Rayas and Dylan Cassetta. “Felipe was incredible,” coach Russ Fisher said. “Ab-dullah, Justin and Dylan also had great performances.”JV soccer on losing streak Davie JV soccer saw its losing streak reach four with 9-0 and 4-1 losses to West and Parkland, respectively. The setback against the Mustangs was unexpected after Davie won the first meeting 4-1. This time Davie’s lone goal was from Talan Andrade, who was assisted by Ivan Busta-mente. Davie fell to 6-8-3 overall and 3-7-2 in the CPC. • Sports Briefs • switch from Daylight Saving Time back to Eastern Stan-dard Time at 2 a.m. Turn clocks back one hour.

Davie Health and Human Services, in partnership with the Davie Sheriff's Office and Emergency Services, are working to educate on the dangers of THC/CBD in-fused substances and Delta-8 snacks, gummies and candies. These products have grown in popularity and are often packaged to look like regular treats - bright, color-ful, appealing to young eyes. Don’t be deceived, these products can be life-threat-ening for a child, said Health Director Suzanne Wright.Many THC/CBD infused substances and Delta-8 prod-ucts are designed to look like popular candy brands.

If you suspect a child has consumed these products, seek immediate medical attention.Check your child’s Hal-loween candy, paying atten-tion to unusual candy packag-ing or marked as THC/CBD infused and Delta-8. If a can-dy package appears to have been opened or tampered with, discard immediately.If you purchase these products and have children in the home, look for clear la-bels and avoid items that look like candy. Keep all items out of reach and sight, just like with any medication.Explain the dangers of consuming unknown sub-stances to your children and encourage them to ask before eating anything unfamiliar.“A colorful package could threaten the life of a child,” she said. “Let’s work together to prevent accidental inges-tion and keep THC/CBD in-fused substances and Delta-8 products out of little hands.”For more information, contact Davie County Health and Human Services at 336-753-6750. Beware of CBD candies this Halloween Jill Marie Helderman, daughter of (both now deceased) Ruth Church Hel- derman and John A Helderman, Jr. would be turning 50 years old this Thursday, October 31st. We all loved celebrating Halloween and then her birthday after trick or treating. Tragically, Jill passed away in a car accident before her 14th birthday in 1988. Over the years, my brother, John, and I (Janet) have had many people share special memories includ- ing a reconfirmation of her choice to ask Jesus into her heart as her savior and special things she said or did as a friend to so many not only at school and church but also in the many vocal competitions and community theater plays she participated in. We are grateful for all who have reached out and reflected on her and her special characteristics over these past 36 years. We someday look forward to seeing her, our Mom, and as of July, our Dad, again in heaven in Christ’s presence. We pray that in some small way, her loss encouraged her classmates and friends to make even more of their lives and to find Jesus as their savior as Jill clearly showed Christ’s love through her actions and words. We are grateful to know that eternity for us will be reuniting with our parents and sister in Christ’s holy presence. Until then we thank everyone who takes time to think of Jill and share that with John and myself. God bless. Happy #50 in heaven Jill!

We are excited to have won this award 4 YEARS IN A ROW – 2021, 2022, 2023, & 2024! That was fun.Let’s do it again next year.The community has spoken, and the winners are in for the 2024 Davie County Enterprise Record Reader’s Choice Awards.Check them out. Surely, you’ll find some that you knew would win. Others may make you scratch your head. Even others may be totally new to you.Either way, these businesses and churches and agencies won for a reason. Davie County folks like them. A lot.Learn where the best cheeseburger is, then head across the county to get what you and your neighbors voted as the best slice of pizza. Learn where people like to worship, and where to have a good time on Friday night.This was not a scientific survey; we didn’t send out hordes of reporters to test every cheeseburger in the county or to visit every place that serves alco- hol to see which has the best beer se-lection; although either would be a job I would gladly volunteer to do. I’ve actually visited most; but I’m keeping those opinions closely guarded.This was more of a popularity con-test. People made nominations, and the top ones were put in for a final online vote. Yes, it’s just for fun.But it is fun. The winners are listed in bold, followed by the finalists.We plan to keep up this promotion, our way of helping convince people to shop locally. That really is the best option. And promotions like this help us remember that we don’t have to travel that far to get something useful, some-thing good, something fun, something that can make you feel better about where you live.After all, we are Davie County. - Mike BarnhardtManaging Editor We are Davie County 2024 Reader’s Choice Awards Page 4 Davie County Enterprise Record #1 Best Ho t D o g #1 Best Bu r g e r #1 Best Ta k e O u t F o o d #1 Best Cu s t o m e r S e r v i c e Finalist f o r : Best Bre a k f a s t , B e s t B B Q , Best Am e r i c a n F o o d , and Best C o f f e e Feeding Davie County Since 1950! 336-751-2621 Fax 336-751-0843 710 Wilkesboro St. • Mocksville, NC Four Generations Serving You!

We are blessed to provide lawn care services in Davie County. Best Landscaping Service Best Handyman Fully Insured Lawncare and Landscaping of products with the convenience of low prices, small businesses provide a range of benefits that go far beyond the ease of a mouse click or mountains of merchandise. Shopping local retailers is more than just a transaction — it is crucial for main-taining the economic foundation of local communities. Let’s take a look at the many ways it pays to shop small businesses during the holidays and all year long.• Strengthen the local economy: A large percentage of the money spent at small businesses stays in the community. That’s because these businesses often are owned and operated by local residents who are in-vested in the community. Studies indicate that for every $100 spent at a small busi-ness, roughly $70 stays in the community. • Enhanced customer service: Owners and employees of small businesses have a keen interest in keeping customers hap-py. They often do so by providing superior customer service. Tailoring recommenda-tions, exhibiting a willingness to accom-modate special requests, offering a more engaging shopping experience, and being more friendly and connected with regu-lar customers sets many small businesses apart.• Support the community: Small busi-nesses serve the community through the products and services they offer, and many give back in other ways as well. Small, locally owned businesses often sponsor schools, sports teams and charities. This helps foster a sense of belonging in the community.• Innovative offerings: Small business-es are not beholden to corporate policies or franchise restrictions, so they can more readily bring new life to existing ideas and trends. Small businesses can offer cus-tomers options that larger retailers cannot match. • Job creation: Small businesses employ a significant percentage of the workforce and frequently provide jobs that might not be available in larger corporate settings. The U.S. Small Business Administra-tion Office of Advocacy says small busi-nesses have generated 12.9 million net new jobs over the past 25 years, accounting for two out of every three jobs added to the U.S. economy. Keeping residents working helps strengthen local communities.There are numerous benefits to shop-ping at small businesses throughout the year. Such firms help to establish a more resilient, diverse and bustling local com-munity.
