Box 99, Mocksville, NC 27028 Cooleemee Journal 1901-1971 www.ourdavie.com Before Computers By Marie Craig Quick Question: Why are In- dex Cards called Index Cards? I never thought about it until I was reading a novel many years ago about an author. In the story, his mother asked him about the prog- ress of his book. He told her that he was through, all but the index. She asked if she could help him, and he told her that she could al- phabetize the index cards. Duh — index cards, and they’re still called that. I have written twelve history books about Davie Coun- ty with my computer, and creat- ing an index is a breeze compared to pre-computers. When I was teaching math in high school, we used a method that is obsolete now. We wrote tests by hand on a special piece of paper that had another layer un- derneath that was almost like car- bon paper. This made the test on the back of the page in mirror im- age. The most common color of the transfer was vivid purple, but red, black, and green were also available. Then, the pages were separated, and the mirror image side was inserted face up onto a drum. An alcohol solution made the images print correctly onto paper when you turned the crank. It was important to run these off ahead of time so that the alcohol dried. If not, the high school stu- dents would sniff the paper and swoon. This machine was called a Spirit Master or Ditto Machine. Later, I had a job at a church, typing reports and bulletins for the members. This machine was a mimeograph machine. This was again, two layers fastened at the top. The bottom layer was pa- per, and the top layer was plastic ÀOP7KHW\SHZULWHUULEERQZDV disabled, so that when you typed, the key hit the plastic and indent- ed the letter just enough to let ink ÁRZWKURXJKDQGSULQWWKHOHWWHU Different colors of ink were avail- able. When I worked as assistant had health issues or had lost loved ones had increased. My dance card was full of visiting those who could not get out due to their health and celebrating with those who could and who had learned to appreciate each day. I spent time with family and Mia, who was hospitalized for several days. My heart ached for those who had lost their independence, but it warmed up to see friends who were still appreciating life. When I was young, I admired many traits in others, including ambition, intelligence, sports skills, physical attractiveness, and wit. Today, the trait at the top of my list is kindness, and it re- quires no special training - just an awareness of others’ sensitivities. Recently, I overheard my young grandchildren, who were watch- ing Young Sheldon on TV, talking with a repairman in my home. He asked them if they liked the pro- gram, and they said they did. He remarked that while Sheldon was smart, he was not kind, especially to his friends. This served as a re- minder for me to be more mindful of my interactions with others. Before I retired, there were times when I was forced to be around those who were less than kind, and I avoided them whenev- er possible. I know that they were unhappy and that people share what they have with those around them. Happy people tend to make others happy, and unhappiness spreads similarly. It pays to be aware of our own moods and to think of what we share with oth- ers. Retirement gives us the choice of who we share our time with and how we interact with them. If I had a magic wand, that is the one trait I would endow every- one with. In a small community like Advance, it is alive and well, but one look at the news, and we see a different story. Most of the news is short on facts and heavy on negative adjectives that are subjective and opinionated. If you mark through all the adjectives that the writer has thrown in and stick to the subjects and verbs, there is little substance. Kindness is something I try to teach younger family mem- bers and want to role model, but I often fall short when under pressure. I am more easily over- whelmed than I used to be and need more alone time to regroup. I encourage everyone to start and end their day with appreciation for having another day to enjoy, and I ask for guidance to make good use of that day. Most of us have been blessed by being born into families that provided a sound base for our childhood with some good role models in our families, churches, schools, and communities. Some of these families have second and third generations who have followed in their footsteps. This grassroots foundation is what our nation is built on, and what will ensure our survival when the hammer falls as our nation spins closer to an economic crisis due to our national debt. We support our families, our friends, our churches, our schools, and our communities. We will survive and teach each generation to nurture the next to survive, thrive, and hopefully be kind while doing so. The Whistle By Julie Terry Cartner It was just a whistle, a silver whistle used by PE teachers and coaches to get their students’ at- tention. Engraved, today, it would cost about $20.00. Back then, markedly less. The cost was irrel- evant. I was a high school senior, days before graduation, sitting in a classroom waiting for my very last high school exam period to HQG(YHU\RQHKDGÀQLVKHGDQG we were waiting for the bell – the last bell of our high school ca- reers. We were a mixture of ex- citement and fears, laughter and tears, equally anticipating and fearing the next chapter of our lives. That’s when they walked in the room, Mr. and Mrs. Utz. They walked to my desk, and, with smiles, handed me a gift-wrapped present, said, “Congratulations,” and left. That was their way, no fuss, no fanfare, two quietly ex- ceptional people. These two teachers had taken the school by storm two years earlier. They’d shaken up the athletic community, especial- ly women’s athletics. Suddenly the opportunities for women’s sports had emerged, partially due to Title IX, and partly due to them. In addition to competitive sports, they added a gymnastics program. Even before the school year started, I’d heard they were knowledgeable, and I had no doubts after I asked Mr. Utz how to improve my front handspring. “Do it,” he, a man of few words, said, and I did. He then told me KRZWRÀ[LWDQGZKHQ,GLGDVKH said, I landed perfectly. Soon they had before and after school gymnastics practices, and the gym was full of potential Olga Korbuts and Jim Culhanes. (Yes, I recognize I’m dating myself!) 2QFHWKHÁRZRIKLJKVFKRRO students settled, they added mid- dle and upper elementary students and encouraged us to help teach them. I don’t know what the Utz’s saw in me, but they got permis- sion for me to assist them in one of their elementary physical ed- ucation classes during my study hall period. And thusly, my last two years of high school passed with cheerleading and track, gymnastics practices before and after school, helping teach, and of course, keeping up with all my classes. Mr. and Mrs. Utz came to football and basketball games, continually urging me to expand my cheerleading repertoire with tumbling passes, encouraging me to keep improving. Then, they put together a gymnastics show to al- low our little corner of the world to see how much we’d improved. They showed me, with actions louder than words, what made a true teacher and coach. They taught with passion, and a gen- uine desire to help students suc- ceed. They pushed. They encour- aged. They made it okay to fail as long as we got up and tried again. One time, in attempting a back handspring, I punched Mr. Utz in the nose, hard enough to give him a nosebleed. His reaction? He corrected my arm position, then said, “Do it again.” That was all. And I did. I know I became a better gymnast because I wanted to earn one of Coach Utz’s reluc- tant smiles and perhaps a gruff, “Good job.” 6RZKHQWKHÀQDOEHOOUDQJ DQG,ZDVUHOHDVHGIURPP\ÀQDO ÀQDOH[DP,WRUHRSHQP\JLIW It was a whistle. A silver coach’s whistle with my name engraved on the side. A simple gift, maybe, but the message was clear. We believe in you. You’re going to be a great teacher and coach, worthy of wearing this whistle. I left school that day with DELWPRUHFRQÀGHQFHLQP\VHOI and my future career. I would wear that whistle with pride. Teachers and coaches have the choice of how deeply and posi- tively they impact their students. I was blessed to have more than my fair share of great leaders. As this new school year begins, I wish for all students to have their own personal Cliff and Jane Utz’s. I hope that many years into your future, you will be able to look back on those people and realize how much they gave you. Then thank them and pass it forward. As for me, from the depths of my heart, I thank you both.

About 8 years ago, I was watching Jeopardy on TV and a question was asked about one of these processes. Nobody got it right but the answer the “experts” gave was wrong. They had con- fused these two machines. I remember typing term papers on my little non-electric porta- ble typewriter that were tedious. $JDLQLWZDVGLIÀFXOWWRFRUUHFW mistakes. If you were typing a second copy with carbon paper between the sheets, it was even worse. We were expected to put footnotes on each page, and it was like playing roulette to know when to stop typing the body of the report and leave the correct amount of space at the bottom for footnotes. It’s a whole different world now. My typewriter is a thing of WKHSDVW0\ÀUVWFRPSXWHUZDV a Texas Instrument in the mid- 1980’s, and it was replaced with a KayPro computer that used two ÁRSS\GLVNVWKDWZHUHLQFKHV square. Things get easier and easi- er as computers develop more and more skills. My computer printer makes beautiful copies of words and images. I can compose on my computer in one room and then print wirelessly in the next room. I’ve seen a lot of changes in the print world and have appre- ciated each time-saving advance- ment.

DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Sept. 11, 2025 - 5 By Bridgette Dillard Davie Community Foundation If you’ve wondered how to make a lasting difference locally, the Davie Communi- ty Foundation has an answer: endowment funds that con- tinue giving for generations. What Is the Davie Commu- nity Foundation? The foundation helps individuals, families, and businesses establish charita- ble funds that support local needs through grants and scholarships. Its mission is to strengthen Davie County for present and future gen- erations by “investing in our future now.” Donations made to the foundation are tax-deduct- ible, and 100% of every gift goes directly into the endow- ment fund for which it was donated. The donations are permanently invested as en- dowments. What are Endowment Funds? Endowment funds are the heart of the founda- tion’s work. Think of them as long-term investments in the community. The original donations are never spent. Instead, they are invested, and each year, the foundation uses a portion of the earnings to make grants and award scholarships. This approach means that a single gift continues WR EHQHÀW 'DYLH &RXQW\ year after year. It’s a form of paying it forward that keeps the community strong over time. Each fund is typically named by its donor, provid- ing a way to honor families, loved ones, local businesses, or community groups. Who’s Behind the Giving? You might assume that endowment donors are wealthy philanthropists but 132 Interstate Drive Mocksville, NC 27028 (336) 753-8473 Hours: Mon. - Fri. 7:30 - 5:30 MockBerothTire.com               !+ % "!!"'!()%$)!'(%' % "!!"!'()%$)!'(&*' (),$ &)#'$&)#' !#!)&' %*( %"')!!&)!$*) %'!/')!"'(%$". %!, '&'% !!))

Janie worked as a teacher assistant in Davie County for 27 years. She and her husband Leo cre- ated a fund to support local schools. After Leo’s passing in 2011, Janie continued con- tributing to the fund in his memory until her own death in 2014.

Charles "Charlie" Brantley York, a proud veteran and longtime resident of Sumter, S.C., passed away on Sept. 4, 2025, surrounded by his family. Papa or Poppy, to his chil- dren and grandchildren; Chief, to many of his friends; Brant- ley, to his extended family and childhood friends, was born Jan. 13, 1948 to James and Lessie (Weatherman) York in Mocks- ville. In 1954, he joined Oak Grove Methodist Church in Mocksville when he was 7 years old and had been a member ever since. He attended Davie Coun- ty High School before enlisting in the United States Air Force in 1966. After Vietnam, Charlie was stationed at Clark AB, Philip- pines where he met and married Ethel Apurillo on Sept. 8, 1970. Charlie had been a Master Mason for over 40 years and was a member of the Scottish Rite and the York Rite. He retired in 1990 as Chief Master Sergeant after serv- ing several years with the 9th Air Force Inspector General team at Shaw AFB, S.C. Chief was honored for his service during his career with several commendations including Air Force Meritorious Service Medal, Air Force Commen- dation Medal (4 awards), and Air Force Outstanding Unit Award (4 awards). &KDUOLHZDVDQDYLGUHDGHUDQGORYHGDLUSODQHVDQGÁ\- ing. He enjoyed telling stories of his childhood, his time in service, and his adventures with his many, many friends throughout the world, often with a twinkle in his eye and a broad sense of humor. He loved his family and friends and was always grateful for the life he had. In his own words: "If I should leave this world tonight I want all to know I had the greatest parents a person could have had. I was raised in a home full of love with 2 siblings both of whom ,ORYHGYHU\PXFK,ZHQWWRDÀQHSXEOLFVFKRROZLWKVRPH of the dearest classmates, some of which are still living to this day. I was given the opportunity to serve my country as a member of the USAF for almost 24 years, 15 months of which was in the country of Vietnam. I served an addi- tional year in Korat, Thailand in support of the Vietnam :DU,VHUYHGZLWKVRPHRIWKHÀQHVWPHQDQGZRPHQWKHUH ever was. I served almost 9 years at Clark Air Base, Phil- ippines. I have been married for 54 years to a Filipina. I was told that it would never work because of our different nationalities. I have 2 wonderful children and 2 wonderful granddaughters. I have God that has never turned His back on me. If this isn't a full life I don't know what is and I'm very thankful for it." Charlie is survived by: his wife, Ethel; his children, Gwyn Heeter (Daryl) and Jonathan York; his grandchil- dren, McKenna DuBose Simeone (Zachary) and Caydin Heeter; his brother, Johnny York (Deanna); and several nieces and nephews, along with their children.

The family will have a private inurnment at Fort Jackson National Cemetery, Co- lumbia, S.C. at a later date. The family received friends on Wednesday, Sept. 10 from 1-3 p.m. at Bullock Funeral Home. The following quote by Stephen Grellet was a favorite of Charlie's: "I expect to pass through this world but once. If, there- fore, there be any kindness I can show, or any good thing that I can do to any fellow human being, let me do it now. Let me not defer nor neglect it; for I will not pass this way again."

Controversial penalty negates pick 6 The Davie cross country team made its annual trip to Kernersville’s Ivey Redmond Park last Friday for what many call the greatest specta- cle in high school cross country.

Although North never held a lead, Davie never led by more than one. Hector Rodri- guez’s opening goal was answered by a Black Knight.

Tabor team does a sensational job organizing this event year after year, and this was the biggest meet yet in terms of the number schools and runners. They have a waiting list of dozens of schools wanting to participate. For us, it was really exciting to see the girls claim the title in their race. Kristen and Lexi do a super job lead- ing our young team. We ran seven freshmen in the race and these girls got some valuable experience. “Our boys have some work to do. I initially thought we got out way too slowly, but when I looked at the intermediate results we were actually okay at the mile split, then went backward. Right now both of our squads are in the hunt for state championship berths, but we have to keep getting better. We will go back to McAlpine Park Sept. 20 for the Hare and Hounds Invitational.

Davie was ready to take a 17-7 lead, and with the way its defense was playing, Davie had the visiting Patriots dead to rights. %XWWKHUHZDVDÁDJRQWKHSOD\ On Heath’s return, two players - Davie’s Luke Foster and Pinecrest’s Finn Morgan - got their feet tangled with the referee, and the referee tumbled to the ground. Incidental contact such as this is not a penalty, but the white hat ruled that Foster’s contact was intentional, he waved off the touchdown and marked the ball 15 yards from the spot to the Pinecrest 39. Davie would ultimately swallow a bitter pill, 13-10. The controversial call made it a night that every person who attended this game will remember forever - for all the wrong reasons if you’re the War Eagles. They have suffered defeat 347 times in 70 years, but not many have felt quite like this. They feel like they were robbed. “It was a bad call,” said Davie coach Brian Hinson, who was im- pressive in the way he handled the moment with 2:18 remaining in the third. “I’ve never seen something like that happen. They took a great play away from a kid and took a win away from kids who deserve it. The RIÀFLDOVDLGWKDW-RVK -RQHV UDQ into him on purpose and knocked him down. Then he turned around and gave him the eye when he was getting up.” The controversial call tarnished a career night by running back Braxton Bowling and an outstanding performance by Davie’s defense.

Jacksonville vs. Cincinnati (NFL) DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Sept. 11, 2025 - B3 By Brian Pitts Enterprise Record For the eighth time in eight matches, the Davie tennis team’s competition was completely overmatched. Last week in a pair of road matches, the War Eagles blanked Statesville and Oak Grove 9-0. The win over Statesville on Sept. 2 lifted Davie’s NPC South Davie’s football team demolished Bonnie Cone Leadership Academy, which sustained a trend for the 3-0 Tigers. They over- whelmed the Eagles 40-6 to mark their best start in six years. South outscored oppo- nents 118-6, and it is off to the best start since standing 4-0 in 2019. Ellis didn’t play all that great against visiting Selma Burke, but the Jaguars still did not meet much resistance in a 28-6 win.

The 18th- ranked Catamounts jumped to a 35-7 lead in the second quarter, and the home fans in Cullowhee were fully ex- pecting to carry a 1-0 record to Wake Forest. Then the unthinkable hap- pened. Nate Hampton and Gard- ner-Webb rallied for a 52-42 win. Hampton is a graduate quarterback who graduated from Davie in 2020. The 6-6, 240-pounder from Advance transferred from Liberty to Gardner-Webb for his fi- nal college season, and his Runnin’ Bulldogs debut was bonkers. He accounted for six touchdowns (four rushing, two passing) and engineered the biggest comeback in pro- gram history. After trailing by as many as 28, the Runnin’ Bulldogs ripped off a 45-7 run by tallying 631 total yards and averaging 7.2 yards per play. After Western scored 35 unanswered points, Gard- ner-Webb closed within 35-21 South girls tennis 4-0 South Davie’s girls tennis team appears unstoppable.

The running score through eight matches is Davie 72, opponents 0. “To be fair, their No. 1 was out at a cross country meet, but they played Reynolds without their No. 1 as well and we beat them better than Reynolds did,” coach Collin Ferebee said. :KLOH'UXP&KDIÀQDQG Hazlip all romped 8-0, Cao, Leszczuk and Ward repelled challenges before winning by identical 8-5 scores. “The girl Casey played was No. 3, but that girl was their best player,” Ferebee said. “She should be playing No. 1. “It was Ola vs. Ola (at No. 5 singles). They play the exact same type of game, and this is one in the past where Ola has struggled because she doesn’t do well against herself, iron- ically enough.

I was like: ‘What is going on?’” With five minutes left, Davie got a thunderous game-winning goal from Justin Reyas, who assisted an earlier score before putting up KLVWHDPKLJKÀIWKJRDO “Justin had a banger,” Stephens said. “I mean it was awesome.

He’s a big part of the success we’re having. He didn’t let us down (against N. Davidson), that’s for sure. Ethan is playing through some pain. He takes care of things with the trainers and tries his best to be out there. He’s a massive part of the team.” Notes: David Fishel and Porter Spann split time at goalie and each had seven saves. ... Davie overcame two absences - Kellan Wiles (injured) and Ezra Regalodo. “Ezra was out sick, so we had to maneuver some peo- ple around to positions that they normally would not be playing.” Script ...

That’s when Pinecrest receiver Carter Jackson completely came out of nowhere.

He was beat (initially) but got back and got a hand on the ball. Sometimes the good Lord is not in your favor, and He wasn’t in Davie County’s favor at that point.” Then the Patriots fed their horse - Najm - three straight times and he scored from the 4 with just 2:15 on the clock. After holding a lead for 34 minutes, 47 seconds, the War Eagles were down 13-10 following a missed PAT. “We preached all week that our kids had to be comfortable being uncomfortable,” Eddins said. “We were behind the whole game pretty much, but they were comfortable being uncomfortable. We just kept plugging along, trying to make a play, and we finally did there at the end. “The funny thing is, that kid (Jackson) was doing that all week in practice. He was hitting posts and verticals, tipping the ball to himself. Those are plays he made in practice this week, and then all of a sudden practices goes to a game. Carter’s got great speed and catches the ball really well. It was a good throw by the quarterback to get him a chance to make a play for us.” Despite that uppercut to the chin, the War Eagles darn near won it in the closing seconds. Pinecrest committed pass interference against Simms on a fourth-and-1 play. Pinecrest was flagged for rough- ing Nance. In a pressure-packed moment - second-and-6 from the 3LQHFUHVW1DQFHÀWDVODQWSDVV between a linebacker and DB and his brother Dulin caught it in stride and seemed destined to reach the Pinecrest 5 or so with :37 to go. But defensive back Steven Daw- son saved Pinecrest’s bacon by hit- ting Nance from behind and knock- ing the ball out. Pinecrest recovered the fumble at the 10. It was a torturous way to lose. “Our kids didn’t deserve to lose that game,” Hinson said. “That’s what hurts me more than anything. They played great and deserved to win. Tonight I thought we were the better team. If that’s the case, I’ll take the blame.” Notes: While Pinecrest moved to 2-1, Davie slipped to 1-2. ... The INT was Heath’s second of the year. ... Relieved to escape, Eddins jokingly told Hinson that he’s going to cancel next year’s game in Southern Pines. Eddins and Hinson know each other well. “Coach (Hinson) has been a friend of mine for a long time,” he said. “He recruited me a long time ago. He’s just a great man. Davie County couldn’t have picked a better man to turn their program back in the right direction because it’s going to get there in a hurry.” Davie’s JV football team couldn’t get out of its own way in a 24-13 loss at Pinecrest on Sept. 4. “It was a game of our mistakes,” coach Brian Hinson said. “When you’re dealing with 14- and 15-year- olds, sometimes it’s just attention to detail. We had two pretty good wins and maybe we lost focus. But we will get it back.” The War Eagles were out of sorts from the get-go. Pinecrest returned the opening kickoff for a touchdown. The War Eagles got a defensive stop in the red zone, but they had to punt from deep in their territory and Pinecrest blocked it and recovered in the end zone for a 12-0 lead. (The Patriots would block another punt later in the game.) It was 12-0 at halftime, far from over. But Davie’s comeback hopes were undone by the second-half kickoff. “Their kicker hit a hard squib and one of our front-line guys mis- handled it and they recovered it,” Hinson said. Pinecrest made Davie pay, scor- ing two plays later to make it 18-0. “Our defense was put in some bad spots and they played really well,” Hinson said. “They had a run- ning back who was hard to tackle. No. 10 was like a video game with his juke moves. He’s a good player.” Davie (2-1) reached the end zone twice in the fourth quarter, and both times the TD was a pass from Wade Ridenhour to Dreighton Lunnerman.
