Please See Festival - Page 5 By KC SmithCooleemee Correspondent On Saturday, Oct. 4, the gen-eral manager of the Mocks-ville-Cooleemee ABC Store, Kris Howell, dedicated the Cooleemee store in Cooleemee in honor of the late Grimes “Bimmy” Parker.Parker was on the local ABC Board for 24 years. The current Cooleemee ABC store manager is Cooper Wall. The Cooleemee ABC store was established in 1987, with the first bottle sold in 1988. Grimes was instrumental in getting Chris hired at the Cooleemee store. “I worked everyday like it was my first day and like my life depend-ed on it,” she said.Howell and Parker agreed there needed to be an ABC store in Mocksville. Howell approached Mocksville about the idea with Parker’s encouragement. In 2018, the Cooleemee and Mocksville ABC stores merged, Fran Parker, widow of the late Grimes “Bimmy” Parker, lis- tens as Kris Howell dedicates the Cooleemee ABC store in his memory. A plaque recognizing the late Grimes “Bimmy” Parker is unveiled at the Cooleemee ABC Store. Parker served for 25 years on the ABC Board. - Photos by KC Smith‘Beloved member of the community’ Cooleemee ABC Store honors memory of Grimes Parker and Grimes and Howell were proud of meeting that goal. Grimes had strong interests in making sure Cooleemee would be taken care of in the process. “I kept my promise,” she said proudly.Howell has organized a yearly lottery that takes place the second Saturday in December. Rare li-quors tcan be found on that day. Last year, approximately 400 people attended.T-shirts with lottery graphics are sold and all proceeds go to Grimes Parker Basketball Camp, Vernon Thompson scholarship fund and the Dragon Fly House.The large gathering in atten-dance were those who loved and respected Grimes with everyone having their own special stories of knowing him. The plaque says it all.“Grimes “Bimmy” Parker was a lifelong resident of Cooleemee, Please See Parker - Page 5 Linda Young knows the importance of community and peer support when going through treatment for breast cancer.It was 10 years ago when she was diagnosed, and al-though her surgery was per-formed at Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist, she was living in Mississippi at the time.She had to travel more than an hour for treatments, and forget the type of support that Cancer Services provides here. It didn’t happen.So she started an annual walk to raise money to support fellow breast cancer survivors. And now that’s she is moving back here, this year’s walk will be held Saturday in Mocksville.The entry is $25 for the walk-at-your-own pace event that starts at the Davie County Public Library at 371 N.

Box 99, Mocksville, NC 27028 Cooleemee Journal 1901-1971 www.ourdavie.com Home ownership not equivalent to stocks We Amuse OurselvesBy Julie Terry CartnerI recently read the text on a coffee mug, slightly modified here to please my grammatical self, that sent my brain into a kaleidoscope of memories, ideas and thoughts. Paraphrased, the statement read, Nobody will ever be as entertained by us as we are with ourselves and each other.My sister and I were, and are, extremely close. Only two years apart in age, we grew up in the same household with shared ex-periences. Compounding our link, we grew up with a mom who suffered from both undiagnosed mental illness and a post-polio body, factors which often made our lives challenging. Anne was often my protector, always my big sister. Despite all of that, there were, of course, moments of hilarity that even today we can bring up and break out in giggles and out-of-control laughter. More than once, we were sent away from the dinner table until we could “get control of ourselves,” as Mom would say.Part of the problem was that we sat across from each other. The inception of the humor tend-ed to be simple – Dad sneezing and mom yelling, “Bill!” like he could help it, the time the choc-olate topping on Mom’s Boston cream pie hardened so firmly that Dad couldn’t cut through it, or when Mom finally admitted that she hated spinach, would nev-er eat it again, and didn’t care if we ever did ether – and we’d laugh. Then we’d make the mis-take of looking at each other and absolutely nothing, not even the knowledge that we’d soon be in trouble, could stop the giggles. Knowing at any minute we’d be scolded for acting so “unlady-like,” we’d almost get ourselves under control, then err again, checking on each other. The minute our eyes would meet, the laughter would burst forth again, and we’d be banished, peals of laughter echoing down the hall-way, even as we were sent to our rooms once again.Other than the Boston cream pie incident, which was abso-lutely hysterical … the look on Dad’s face when he realized he really couldn’t cut through the chocolate… the other occurrenc-es were, at best, mildly amusing. It doesn’t matter. If we see each other today and mention one of many shared moments of humor, we still dissolve in laughter as if it were happening right now, even though nobody else would see the humor.Years later, our mature (ish) selves were at church. My sis-ter’s husband was the minister, and their oldest daughter, Rachel, around 2, was sitting between Anne and me. It was the candle-light Christmas service, and the time had come to pass the light. The church was darkened, and the atmosphere was one of worship, a reverent hush filling the room. I lit my candle from the usher’s, then leaned across Rachel to of-fer the light to Anne. Rachel, who had recently celebrated her birthday, blew the candle out and was absolutely thrilled with her-self. Anne and I both laughed, and then, as if we were 5 and 7, looked at each other. It was over. We laughed until we were both in tears. And Anne’s husband, Ken, from the pulpit, just looked at us like we’d lost our minds. And, like our much younger selves, ev-ery time we’d get ourselves under control, we’d look at each other and start again.Re-reading this, I still think it was funny, and I hope it amused you too, but I absolutely guaran-tee nobody would find that story as funny as Anne and I still do. There’s just something special about shared memories that en-able us to go back in time, re-live the moment, and laugh all over again. We need those connec-tions. We need people in our lives who truly understand us because they were with you when the inci-dent happened.I hope you have partners in crime and shared memories. I hope you can sit together, rem-inisce, and laugh like you’re ten again. The value is unparalleled. But just remember, nobody will be as amused by you as you are with yourselves. However, if you wish, ask me about the Cheerios sometime. Cowgirl In MeBy Gaye HootsI grew up a tomboy, think-ing I could handle anything that came along. The first physical challenges I remember are from the Fridays I would ride the bus to the end of Burton Rd. to spend the weekend with my grandpar-ents. The Waller boys came from a dysfunctional family that I now have great empathy for, but at the time, they were a challenge, and we often got into wrestling matches on the bus. No one was ever hurt, which was lucky, be-cause sometimes we would throw rocks at each other after we got off the bus.There was another incident, when a high school student with emotional problems lurched onto me while going around a curve, and tried to put his hand in my pants. I slapped him, and Mildred Burton, the bus driver, reported him to Mrs. Lucille Cornatzer, who questioned me and dealt with the issue. I never let him anywhere near me again.When I was about eleven, a male older than my parents tried to get me alone and kiss me. I ran, but didn’t tell, and never let him catch me alone again. We like to think these things never happened back then, but my sister had an even more frightening incident happen.I could still pin my brother down when he was fourteen years old, but he never really tried to hurt me. The next threatening event was when a man who had been driving a transfer truck for my husband tried to steal a trailer while Roy was out of town. He owed Roy money, so Roy dis-abled the man’s truck, which was parked on a lot on the corner of Underpass and Taylor Rd. I did not have a car at that time, when Faye called me from the Duke Power office and told me a tow truck had passed with his truck attached. I let this go as he owned the truck, but when she called to say he had come back with the tow truck, I borrowed her car and went to confront him.He had the tow truck at-tached to a trailer Roy owned. I pulled the car in front of him and blocked him in. He ranted and raved, shook his fist in my face, and stated he would call the law. I said, “You won’t have to, you don’t think I was stupid enough to come here without calling them. They should be here any min-ute.” I was bluffing, but he told the driver to leave the trailer and wrote him a check, which I am sure was drawn on the account he had written Roy a bad check on. He left. It had never occurred to me to call the police or ask one of Roy’s brothers for help.My next close call was one where a male made phone calls and came to the house pretend-ing he wanted to see Roy. It nev-er occurred to me to be afraid of him, but he later picked up a girl who looked very much like me at Hanes Mall, where she worked, and I worked Saturdays. He brought her back to Advance after brutally raping her. She escaped, and he died in prison.While I was driving a bus and working as a teacher’s aide at Shady Grove, an irate parent pulled a shotgun on me, pushing the barrel of the gun through the driver’s window and questioning me about making his son walk fifteen feet in front of the bus because the bus did not have a sweeping arm. His son had tried to explain, but the father thought his son was being discriminat-ed against and was livid. I had explained, and he was settling down, when I saw that three of the young boys had slipped out the emergency door and were sneaking up on him, trying to protect me. I grabbed the barrel of the gun and told him what was happening. He put the gun down, and the boys got back on the bus. I did not press charges, and that was the end of it.When I worked as a psychiat-ric nurse, there were many inci-dents where I faced physical chal-lenges, once getting the cartilage in my nose broken, but that will be another story. The Long White MonthBy Marie CraigWhen I was about 10 years old, growing up in Black Moun-tain, I loved to read. In addition to the school library, our town had a public library on the second floor of the fire station. In our church, there were three spinsters, Miss Ruby, Miss Caroline, and Miss Bernice who lived with their handicapped brother, Howard Hall. The sisters were very ambi-tious and sharing in their church work and friendship outside of church. The first two were librar-ians in this public library. I remember climbing those steep steps to enter the world of fiction and fact that they so will-ingly shared with me. One book that Miss Ruby recommended to me was The Long White Month by Marshall Dean. I read this book several times through the years and shared the adventures of Priscilla who was living with her aunt in a big city. She had a rigorous schedule of piano les-sons, French tutoring, and strict rules for finishing her homework. The aunt gets sick, and Pris-cilla goes to live with her adult cousin, Susan, in her cabin in the snowy woods. Suddenly the busy schedule of city life is replaced by being marooned in the woods and learning how to build a fire in the fireplace, how to cook, and how to amuse herself by study-ing the birds and sketching them. Priscilla thinks she’s not learning anything in her school absence, but she’s building life skills and a great appreciation for wildlife, especially birds.When my sons were about 12, I found this book on InterLibrary Loan, and we read it together. They listened but commented that it was a girl’s book. Because of this book, I devel-oped a great love of birds and now feed them daily in my feeder that has a camera linked to my smart phone. I also feed the humming- To the editor:Thanks to Professor Walden for highlighting the issues with consumer debt and encouraging everyone to carefully consider the near and long term effects of borrowing.Two points with which I re-spectfully take exception.First, investment in a house is not financially equivalent to investing in stocks. The broad-ly diversified stock market has returned 10-11%, decade after decade. Residential real estate (outside of resorts or a major city - NY, San Francisco) has a long term return of 4-5%. And you have to maintain the property and update it to keep up with area values.A home is a wise purchase and worth going into debt for, but is is better considered a store of value rather than an investment.Second, every other thing that you buy will depreciate in value - no matter how long you use it. That includes vehicles, washing machines, furniture, or smart phones. It is never the wise choice to borrow to buy a depre-ciating asset.Matching payment period with useful asset life is a valid business strategy, because the asset makes you money as you pay for it.The path to financial security is easily stated. Live comfortably below your income. No one gets a lifetime of uninterrupted income. Plan your savings and invest-ment before you spend. (Invest-ments are assets that you expect to appreciate and that you sell for a profit. Jewelry or precious stones are not an investment. You buy at retail and sell at wholesale). Borrow only for your home; and don't buy more house than your family needs to be safe and comfortable in an area with good schools and services. Start early. Be consistent. Jerry CohenAdvance Broadway In Love will be presented at 7 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 12 at the Brock Performing Arts Center on North Main Street in Mocksville.“Join us for a real-life Broadway married couple sharing the ex-hilarating laughter, chills and thrills of many of Broadway’s greatest songs,” said Steve Franke, director of the Davie Arts Council. “The award-winning talent of Libby Servais (Glenda from “Wicked”) and Stephan Stubbins (from “Mary Poppins’) and their contaagiously elec-trrifying chemistry will warm your hearts with songs.”Those songs will include, “Wicked,” “The Sound of Music,” “Jer-sey Boys,” “9 to 5,” “My Fair Lady,” “Frozen” and “Phantom of the Opera.”Doors open at 5:30, Rayson wines and Quail Ridge Confections chocolates will be available.Tickets are available from the Brock box office, 336-751-3000 or online at daviearts.org. ‘Broadway in Love’ at the Brock birds who will be migrating to Central America in a few weeks.In 1993 I went to a used book store and inquired about buying a copy of The Long White Month. She didn’t have a copy but searched online. Several months later, a package arrived with a used copy of this book. She in-cluded a note with the invoice. I think I paid about $15 for it. I shared it with my granddaughter.But since that time, I became more interested in the book and author. To buy one now, you pay several hundred dollars for a used copy. It was written in 1942 by a woman named Clara Dean Mar-shall who was born in Kentucky in 1900, graduated from Vander-bilt with a degree in social work, and worked in that area plus be-ing a children’s librarian. This book is her second of six books that she wrote. I found a fellow researcher online and shared with him my data, 1910, 1920, 1930 census listings of her family. I also shared her obituary and page from FindAGrave. She died at 94 in Mesa, Arizona, and is buried in Granby, Connecticut, where she lived for many years. Special books and libraries re-ally make a difference in people’s lives. I am especially grateful for this book which taught me re-sourcefulness and love of birds.

Mocksville offers a wonder-ful quality of life and em-ployment base. This in com-bination with an outstanding school system, makes Mocksville a great place to live. I would be honored to have the citizens vote again this year and continue to see Mocksville be the great place that it is, to live, work, and play.What do you think are the most significant challenges for the town, and how do you intend to address those challenges?Lambert: Mocksville, is a great place to live. Frank-ly, the community contin-ues to offer a wide appeal to citizens of all ages. Both in employment, recreation, and other opportunities, yet gives a small town sense of community.Fortunately, we are bless-ed to not be facing signifi-cant areas of concern. The town continues to be well governed and well managed. I am proud to have been part of good government over the past 4 years.Are you satisfied with the law enforcement contract and coverage with the Da-vie County Sheriff’s Of-fice?Lambert: One of the most important changes that was made, was law en-forcement being turned over to the county. This not only saves the citizen tax dollars, but has proven to be an out-standing level of safety and protection for our citizens.Visibility and response has been increased and we Why did you decide to seek public office?Stevenson: I decided to seek public office again to continue to make a dif-ference in my community. When you live in a wonder-ful town and see some of the things that could be changed for the better of it, this is one way I can do my part. I have not always been interested in what goes on in my commu-nity, but when you grow up and have children and grand-children you want them to live in a great town, so it changes the way I think and live. I can be trusted to make the best decisions for all of us. A community to join to-gether and work together.What do you think are the most significant challenges for the town, and how do you intend to address those challenges?Stevenson: One of the things I think is most chal-lenging in our town is still affordable housing and not to make Mocksville so big that we grow out of our small-town feel. I know the price of everything has gone up and contractors spend more on building houses, but it has got to be a way to come together and make housing affordable for the people in our community. While still searching for re-sources to make this happen, I also want to make sure that our community can handle all the growth that we are seeing now. I want to make sure that our infrastructure can handle all the growth. The new businesses coming to our town will hopefully help in providing income for those struggling with afford-ing housing.

We have held to a sound tax rate. We have continued to grow the industrial base, cre-ating an excellent tax base. We have provided citizens, continued improvements in infrastructure, I.E new side-walks, street scape, and other improvements. In this budget year alone, we will expand sidewalks down Wilkesboro and Yadkinville Road.

I am pleased with them because I have seen the work of them keeping our community safe. I have also had the opportunity to per-sonally call them and they have answered the call with professionalism and have helped in the situation. The downtown atmosphere has a great feeling of comfort with the officers showing a smile and interacting with the cit-izens while keeping us safe.

If you are cooking gluten free, I have included the brands I prefer in parentheses. Happy October.

Sift together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.In a separate, large bowl, mix the sweet potatoes and butter. Add the flour mixture to the potato mixture and mix to make a soft dough Then add milk a tablespoon at a time to mixture and continue to gently fold together. If cooking gluten free, let the dough sit for 20 minutes so GF flour can absorb some moisture. Turn dough onto floured board and toss lightly until the outside of the dough looks smooth. Roll the dough to 1/2-inch thickness and cut with a biscuit cutter. Place the biscuits on a greased pan and coat tops with melted butter. Optional: sprinkle cinnamon sugar on top before baking.

She was the daughter of the late Fred M. and Mary R. Propst and was preceded in death by: her husband, Eddie Beal; her brothers, J.W. Shepherd (Lois) and June Propst (Jo Ann); and her son-in-law, Mike Thompson.Mary is survived by: her daughter, Wanda Beal of Lexing-ton; her son, Dean Beal of Hills-ville, Va.; 4 grandchildren, Eric Beal, Jason Beal, Krystle Beal, and Alex Beal; 5 great-grandchil-dren; and many nieces and nephews, who she treated like her own.Mary had a gift. She never met a stranger. The moment you met her, you felt at ease, like you’d known her for-ever. Whether you were family, a neighbor, a customer, or someone just passing through, she made you feel wel-come. She worked for years at Drexel Heritage in Mocks-ville as a receptionist and scheduler, where her quick wit and easy smile earned her lifelong friends. After becoming a grandmother, she left the job she loved to stay home with her first grandchild, Eric, a decision that reflected her deep devotion to family.Later, Mary renewed her beautician’s license and opened Mary’s Hair Kare, where she did more than just hair. She listened, laughed, and formed special bonds with her clients. That same love of people led her to her next chapter as the owner and operator of the original Bixby Convenience Store, where she became a friendly fixture in the Bixby community, serving up coffee, snacks, and endless conversation with a smile. In her later years, she moved to Lexington to be near her daughter, Wanda, where she continued to love deeply and live fully.She was the kind of mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend that everyone hopes to have in their life. Warm, funny, strong, compassionate and endlessly caring. Mary’s legacy is one of love, kindness and compassion that filled every room she walked into and will live on in all who knew her.A funeral service will be conducted at 2 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 11 at Eaton Funeral Chapel in Mocksville with Rev. Alton Beal officiating. Interment will follow in the former Bixby Church of the Living God Cemetery.

Our town has changed from a population and demograph-ic standpoint over the years, and I think its important to have view points from indi-viduals that reflect the inten-tions of the entire communi-ty, including ones that have younger families.What do you think are the most significant challenges for the town, and how do you intend to address those challenges?Jernigan: I’m running for office to be the voice and vessel to ensure that the town’s interests and inten-tions line up with our great The Candidate Name Rod Guthrie Age 73 Address Orchard Park Drive Family Wife, Diane; daughters, Mollie & Emilie; 6 grandchildren Education Bachelor’s degree, Stetson University (1974), majors in social sciences and Spanish; J.D., Wake Forest School of Law (1980); Captain, US Army, active duty and reserves 1975-1985, military intelligence officer Occupation Attorney at law since 1980, founding partner with Bennett Guthrie,PLLC in Winston-Salem; General business litigation, insurance defense and coverage; Certified court mediator for 15 years In the Community • Bermuda Run Town Council • Previous six-year member Bermuda Run Planning Board, chair for three • President, Bermuda Run Country Club Board • President, Clemmons YMCA Advisory Board • Previous chair, Admore Baptist Church Board of Deadons; current church moderator; Sunday Bible Study teacher for 15 years Why did you decide to seek public office?Guthrie: Having lived in the Town of Bermuda Run with my wife for over 18 years, this is our home. My love for our community, and my desire to ensure our unique quality of life here, led me to volunteer for the planning board and, most recently, our town council. I believe that I have the time, the interest and the ability to work with our other coun-cil members to enhance our town’s future by carefully managing the town’s growth while retaining the small town lifestyle we all cherish.What do you think are the most significant challenges for the town, and how do you intend to address those challenges?Guthrie: The Town of Bermuda Run is uniquely sit-uated along the I-40 corridor and adjacent to the Yadkin River. Our location and the quality of life we offer will, in the coming years, bring significant growth in pop-ulation and local business. Our challenge is not to deny or stifle that growth, but to manage it for the benefit of current and future residents. Our Town Council cannot control what happens be-yond our town limits, but we can work with Davie Coun-ty, interested developers and business owners, and state agencies such as the NC De-partment of Transportation to make sure have an adequate plan in place (specifically our Town’s Comprehensive Plan which is updated ev-ery five years) to deal with issues such as traffic conges-tion, connectivity among our established neighborhoods, and providing attractive park areas, nature trails and othe pedestrian pathways. We are becoming much more than just a “bedroom” communi-ty for nearby cities, and we must maintain our identity as a town. If allowed to con-tinue serving on our Town Council, I pledge to work with our town leaders to pro-tect the best qualities of our community.Are you satisfied with the law enforcement contract and coverage with the Da-vie County Sheriff’s Of-fice? Guthrie: Our Town has been served very well by local law enforcement, spe-cifically the Davie County Sheriff, through a contract with Sheriff Hartman’s of-fice that provides a fulltime deputy dedicated to protect-ing and patrolling our town. I am satisfied that, at present and for the near future, we are being well-served by that cost-effective arrangement.Other IssuesGuthrie: For a town our size, we are blessed with a number of wonderful assets: A first class hospital, an ath-letic park that brings thou-sands of visitors for a short time, and an abundance of natural resources. As a mem-ber of the Town Council, my primary goal is and will be to recognize, support and en-hance those assets. One of my favorite things to do is hop on my bicycle in Bermuda Run West, work my way through Bermuda Run East to the Blue Heron Trail, then ride the trail into and through Kinderton. We are putting in place plans to extend the trail to eventually encompass our town, making it a more walkable and ac-cessible place for everyone. There is work to be done and, if elected, I’m ready to keep at it. community make up that we love (I enjoy calling it a Town and not a City.).Are you satisfied with the law enforcement contract and coverage with the Da-vie County Sheriff’s Of-fice?Jernigan: I’ve been ex-tremely satisfied with the Davie County Sheriff’s Of-fice – they are a critical part of what makes Bermuda Run such a desirable, quaint, sense of community and be-longing that makes our town such a wonderful place.Other IssuesJernigan: Bermuda Run is a wonderful example of how ‘small-town America’ can continue to thrive in an always changing world. I am here to support the commu-nity that we all embrace. Why did you decide to seek public office?Wilson: My wife and I love living here in Bermuda Run and I would like to serve my community as a member of the town council. My edu-cation and professional work experience is public manage-ment and I have extensive experience working for local governments in North Caro-lina.What do you think are the biggest challenges facing the town, and how do you intend to address those challenges? Wilson: The biggest chal-lenges facing the town are managing growth and pro-viding reliable infrastruc-ture. Managing growth is ob-viously a big challenge. We live in a very desirable place and developers will be anx-ious to develop any and all usable properties. The com-munity, as a whole, does not want to add large apartment The Candidate Name Martin (Marty) Wilson Age 67 Family Wife, Dawn; Children, Matthew (27), Elise (32) Education Granite Falls High School, Granite Falls NC; Caldwell Community College, asscociate degree, Hudson, NC; Appalachian State University, bachelor’s degree in public management; UNC Institute of Government Municipal Administration Course Occupation Retired.

Hines: In 2023 when I was appointed by the Town Council to become a mem-ber of the Bermuda Run Planning Board, I knew fairly quickly that I wanted to become more involved. When it was brought to my attention that we would have three empty seats, I felt con-fident this was a great oppor-tunity to pursue a bigger role within the town.What do you think are the most significant challenges facing the town, and how do you intend to address those challenges? Hines: Strategic develop-ment and growth. Communi-cation between town officials and the community is crucial when it comes to the future of our town. So often I speak to concerned residents or see posts on social media speak-ing out on decisions that the council has made. Whether they feel we are growing too fast or maybe they disagree with current/future develop-ment. I think it’s so important to communicate to the com-munity what is going on and make intentions clear. It is equally important for the members of our community to come to us to discuss their concerns and ask questions. We have created a compre-hensive plan for our town. As council, we are charged to take the information gath-ered from that plan and make decisions on your behalf. I want to honor the residents opinion and interests to the best of our ability. As a member of the town council, I will be an extension of our residents and keep that line of communication open as we move forward together.Are you satisfied with the law enforcement contract and coverage with the Da-vie County Sherriff’s Of-fice?Hines: My family has been in Bermuda Run since 2015. I have never felt un-safe and I know that is one of the reasons people choose to live here.

If there are any concerns, DCSO is quick to respond and assist when needed. Additionally, we are so lucky to have Rise Indoor Sports and NC Fusion at Truist Sports Park in our community. These two in-credible organizations bring thousands of people into our town every week. DCSO has worked hard with the town and with the organizations to dial in the traffic concerns and safety that comes with such an influx of people. Safety will always be a top priority for Bermuda Run and I am thankful for our partnership with DCSO. Other IssuesHines: I love Bermuda Run. If I can earn your vote, you are voting for someone who will work to make the best decisions for our town. Every time I sit down to think about why I am run-ning for this position, I al-ways come back to our kids and the future generation. My wife and I chose to bring our family here and I am for-tunate to have our kids grow up here. It’s up to our gener-ation to make sure that our kids have the opportunity to grow up and feel the same way.I am proud of our town and where we are going but I think it’s important to get involved and make sure that we continue on a path that is sustainable. Looking around, it’s great to see how diverse our community has become. We have so many young families and children mov-ing and growing here. I am a representation of that group of people. I represent a younger gen-eration of forward thinking and legacy for our families. I have been a Realtor here for a decade and I have never witnessed a higher desirable area. There’s a reason why we always have more buyers trying to move in than we do sellers wanting to leave. Let’s continue to be a place business owners and restau-ranteurs want to invest. A community to raise a family. Let’s work together and continue to make The Run the place to be. Why did you decide to seek public office?Jones: As a resident of Bermuda Run, specifically in the Bermuda Village Re-tirement community, I enjoy a lifestyle I do not take for granted. Over the last decade, the town council’s focus on the comprehensive plan has helped the town move for-ward and achieve its goals. I appreciate the Mayoral lead-ership. Their regular visits allow for real-time, two-way feedback. This transparent communication builds trust and strengthens relationships throughout Bermuda Run. Serving as a council member is a valuable op-portunity to give back to the community. Our goal is to leave our town better than we found it. The reason I am running for office is to be the change I want to see in Bermuda Run. I was asked by multiple people in my community to run for office because they like the way I approach and resolve oppor-tunities. All the candidates met individually with our current Mayor, Mike Brannon. He outlined his expectations and was clear that he needed the team to be more than a two-meeting-a-month position.

Bermuda Run Town Council - You May Vote For Three Jernigan: Get views from entire community Guthrie: Protect the best qualities of town Hines: Preservation for future generations to perform to the standards of those before us, he needs people who will roll up their sleeves and move the com-prehensive plan forward. I am the candidate who will exceed expectations. What do you think are the most significant challenges facing the town, and how do you intend to address those challenges? Jones: I corresponded with our Town Manager, Andrew Meadwell, regard-ing the items I consider our immediate challenges: in-frastructure, development, property tax ceiling, and the annexation agreement with Clemmons. Andrew re-sponded to the infrastructure needs by saying, “Beyond our ongoing road paving program, Bermuda Run does not currently face infrastruc-ture issues on the scale of wastewater or water in years past. The Town still operates and maintains the sewer dis-tribution system, with flows conveyed to the Eastern Da-vie Sewer District for treat-ment. A short-term goal is to transfer the wastewater sys-tem to Davie County, similar to the successful transition of the water system several years ago. We also continue to monitor stormwater, NC-DOT roadway conditions, Wilson: Manage growth; retain small-town feel Please See Jones - Page 9 complexes or other devel-opment that would increase traffic and negatively affect our quality of life. It is not as simple as passing a ban on certain types of development because there are legal, regu-latory and fairness issues that must be considered. In order to manage growth so that our quality of life is not dimin-ished, the town council must be able to find solutions that will control growth without depriving property own-ers and developers of their rights. My education and previous local government experience will be beneficial in providing solutions for these complicated problems. The other major chal-lenge for our town is provid-ing reliable infrastructure. The town is responsible for the maintenance of some, but not all, of the streets within the city limits. A plan needs Please See Wilson - Page 9 Jones: Leave town better than it was DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Oct. 9, 2025 - 9 Continued From Page 8to be developed and fol-lowed to resurface our streets in a timely manner, provide and maintain sidewalks and walkways and keep our streets, sidewalks, and walk-ing trails clean and safe.The town’s sewer system is the other major infrastruc-ture challenge. The town would like to give the sew-er system to Davie County Utilities to own, operate and maintain in the same manner as the water system. How-ever, Davie County will not take over ownership unless the system is in reasonable condition. Since parts of the existing sewer system are 50 years old, rehabilitation and/or upgrades will be need-ed. The town has received a $400,000 grant to identi-fy and assess the condition of our sewer system. Upon completion of this work, the town will need to develop a Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) that will address the deficiencies. My previous experience in local govern-ment includes developing and implementing capital improvement plans. As our town grows, we will be faced with many challenges. The role of a town council member is to listen to the citizens to de-termine what they want to achieve and then use their experience and knowledge of local government rules, regulations, policies, and procedures, to address these Continued From Page 8and pedestrian connectivity to ensure they meet the needs of a growing community.” We are fortunate to have a town manager of Andrew Meadwell's ability. Regarding development, I was pleased to know that Andrew views the town through the eyes of its resi-dents. He responded, “While hard infrastructure remains important, residents have consistently identified qual-ity of life as a priority. This includes investing in recre-ation opportunities, expand-ing greenway connectivity, and ensuring strong public safety partnerships. In ad-dition, Bermuda Run has a few areas that remain unde-veloped, so planning for re-development, preserving our character, and coordinating with the County and region-al partners on transportation and services remain central challenges.” It is crucial to strike a balance in our high-density housing and the character of our town, as evidenced by the apartment development behind Walgreens.The property tax ceiling has been receiving increas-ing attention over the last four years, and until this year's tax reevaluation, the concern had been growing rapidly. Mr. Meadwell pro-vided an update by saying, “The statutory property tax ceiling is on staff’s radar, but based on the most recent re-valuation and expected new housing, the Town’s reve-nues remain stable in the near term. That said, we re-main mindful that long-term financial planning requires balancing growth-related revenues with increasing ser-vice demands and inflation.” Only time will tell if the new development and the latest tax reevaluation can keep pace with inflation and rising costs, which is why I believe this issue should remain a focal point for the town council. The fourth item I elevat-ed to the town manager was the annexation agreement with Clemmons. Some of my fellow residents won-dered why we even needed such an agreement. Andrew was to the point. “The Town has worked with the Village of Clemmons on renewing the annexation agreement between the two munici-palities. This renewal pro-vides both communities with Wilson ... challenges. The goal is to provide outcomes that are legal, fair, and acceptable to all the parties involved. We need a town council that has that experience and knowl-edge. I have over forty years of experience working in and with local governments in North Carolina. Through App State and the UNC Institute of Government Municipal Administration Course, I learned about the rules and regulations that both empower and restrict local government’s author-ity. As an employee of the Town of Granite Falls, NC, I developed an understanding of how government works in the real world. As a de-partment head for the City of Newton, NC, I experienced working with citizens, con-tractors, business owners, town staff, and town coun-cils. As a managerial spe-cialist with NC Rural Water Association, I provided tech-nical, financial, and manage-rial assistance to local gov-ernments in North Carolina. I believe that my experience and knowledge of local gov-ernment has provided me the skills that are necessary to be an advocate for the citizens of Bermuda Run as an effec-tive member of the Bermuda Run Town Council.Are you satisfied with the law enforcement contract and coverage with the Da-vie County Sherriff’s Of-fice? Wilson: Deputy John Hobson was assigned to be our new designated of-ficer earlier this year. He addressed the town council on July 8, 2025 and he is a very capable and informed deputy. I feel certain that our contract with the Sherriff’s Department will continue to provide our town with ex-cellent service. I expect that Deputy Hobson will be very active in our community events and he will be respon-sive to citizen request. There will be a need for increased diligence in enforcing traf-fic concerns (such as speed-ing) as our town continues to grow and the council will need to continuously moni-tor our coverage. Other IssuesWilson: The NC State Legislature passed Senate Bill 25 in December of 2024. Portions of this bill severely restrict how the town chang-es our zoning ordinances. Therefore, it will be chal-lenging for our town to find ways to control growth with-in the confines of the new rules. The council and the planning board are working with consultants to identify how we can adjust our ordi-nances legally and address the concerns of our citizens.The town adopted the Town of Bermuda Run Com-prehensive Plan on April 11, 2023. This plan was developed with input from our citizens and it provides objectives and strategies for the council to follow to achieve the vision and goals identified by the public par-ticipation. If elected I plan to follow the implementation strategies as provided by the Comprehensive Plan. Approximately 1,100 property owners in our town live “behind the gates”. The town is examining ways to manage the gate operations that will be fair to those both outside and inside the gates. Gate operation fees are paid by those property owners be-hind the gates but presently the town is administering the contracts. Other options for administration of the opera-tions contract will be deter-mined by the council soon. I will support any plan that is fair and equitable for all our citizens. The walkway project is moving forward although there are no visible signs of construction. This is due to the preliminary work of de-sign, utility relocation and right of way acquisition is being completed. I will sup-port this project and will work to provide information and updates regarding its progress.I have extensive experi-ence working with budgets for local governments. If elected, I pledge to be dili-gent in monitoring our bud-get expenditures to insure that your tax dollars are be-ing used effectively and effi-ciently. Jones ... clear boundaries for future growth, avoids overlap in jurisdiction, and reinforces cooperative planning efforts along the Yadkin River cor-ridor.” Having a contractual agreement prevents miscom-munication and helps foster good relationships with our neighbors. Andrew also noted that the above four concerns “go right to the heart of what Town leadership and staff continually evaluate. We re-main committed to protect-ing Bermuda Run’s strong financial position while preserving the small-town quality of life that makes our community unique.” Thank You, Andrew.Are you satisfied with the law enforcement contract and coverage with the Da-vie County Sheriff’s Of-fice? Jones: When I polled people in my community about the coverage we re-ceive from the Davie County Sheriff’s office, I did not find anyone who was concerned. Since the agreement was en-tered into, the officers hired have visited our community multiple times. In fact, all three have shared cell phone numbers and asked us to call them at any time. After re-viewing the contract, I found nothing that gave me pause. I knew that to comment on the effectiveness of our cover-age, I needed to research the crime data for our area com-pared to neighboring com-munities and benchmark it against the state level. When completing this data crunch, it was apparent we were in great shape. My next call was to our Sheriff J.D. Hartman. We discussed the agreement and how the Sheriff’s office evaluates crime numbers. The level of detail about the pockets of crime made me feel confident that the Sher-iff’s office and our additional coverage for Bermuda Run are working. I asked Sheriff Hartman point-blank. Do you think our coverage is ad-equate? He quickly respond-ed, “The coverage in Bermu-da Run is above adequate.” He was able to address the challenges we face and pointed out that they track the individuals who commit these crimes, and for the most part, all of them are people from outside our area. They come in waves, and one faction from Greensboro has been known to visit our location and others, commit-ting theft and vandalism, and then leave. They typically cause damage in a few days and then move on to other areas.What impressed me the most was the regular weekly meetings that take place with our mayor. Sheriff Hartman sends the weekly reports and discusses any concerns and opportunities. I also like the agreement is signed for five-year periods. This gives both parties time to evaluate cov-erages and make adjustments when necessary. Other Issues Jones: The Town of Ber-muda Run is in great shape, primarily due to the solid leadership at the Town Man-ager and Mayor positions over the years. The candi-dates for the town council are all more than capable of doing a great job, so there is no bad vote. I worked closely with Ken Rethsmier, the for-mer Mayor of Bermuda Run 10 years ago, on the waste-water project. Discussions with the Town Manager Lee Rollins and Ken were pro-fessional, and we were able to work with Davie County commissioners and the Da-vie County Manager to eval-uate options. Working through this project took the better part of a year, and there were times the county, Bermuda Run, and the Advance communi-ty were at odds. There were special meetings and town halls, and my involvement gave me a chance to experi-ence political conflict at its most elevated state. It was this experience that sparked my interest in county and town government. I have worked with our county gov-ernment and have watched from a distance as our town government operates.I am a resident of Bermu-da Run, having lived there since 2017.I live in the re-tirement community of Ber-muda Village. I am deeply involved in the community and have served on the coun-cil in multiple capacities. Reflecting on the accom-plishments of the past year may provide insight into what you can expect from your vote. The residents of Bermuda Village constructed a magnificent Japanese gar-den in 2017. When I moved in, it was nearing the com-pletion of phase one. Since that time, I have collabo-rated with Dr. Gene Hooks, the founder of the garden, to nearly double its size. This year, I managed a project to build an entrance to the gar-den. This required working with the town manager, the mayor, and Bermuda Village ownership and management. Without going into a deep dive of all the particulars, I was able to leverage Andrew Meadwell's expertise and Mike Brannon’s suggestions and obtain the buy-in from Bermuda Village to allow such an aggressive project. It required infrastructure modi-fications to the main water lines to the facility, raising a fire hydrant, and building an aesthetically pleasing en-trance. Not to mention I had to raise the money for the project with funds outside of Bermuda Village to the tune of $200,000. In a nutshell, I was able to raise the funds, build 90% of the entrance in three months, and have a rib-bon-cutting on April 15. At the same time, I worked on our putting green and croquet courts to bring them back to usable condi-tion. That goal is reached, and we will continue next spring to get them to pristine condition. Those are not the only projects I have complet-ed this year in the village, but they reflect the ability I have to administer change.Your vote will enable me to work on a larger scale to address items in our compre-hensive plan that will benefit everyone, not just the resi-dents of Bermuda Village. I welcome you to our Japanese Garden and look forward to serving you on the Town Council.

Limit 4 10 - DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Oct. 9, 2025 Continued From Page 4of input from locals in town decision making, a lack of local resources, issues with transportation, infrastruc-ture, and water advisories. Several local non-profit or-ganizations are facing cuts in funding this year. My health experience has taught me how to identify needs present in a community and how to meet them. The most import-ant way to do this is to speak to our locals and encourage more involvement in town meetings or local events. In terms of equity, I would like to make sure that all voices have equal weight and that all are amplified with none being left behind. We should allow more op-portunities for businesses, people, neighbors, etc., to speak openly about how ma-jor town decisions may affect them and also allow them to ask all the questions they may have. I always say that our local resources are what help us to overcome our lo-cal barriers. We need to ad-dress these lack of resources (whether it is mental health programs among our youth, substance abuse resources, or even poverty alleviation through affordable hous-ing) by helping to support our nonprofit organizations, Continued From Page 1seniors and future genera-tions. With your support, I will bring dedication, expe-rience, and common-sense leadership to the Town Board.What do you think are the most significant challenges for the town, and how do you intend to address those challenges?Harding: Mocksville is a town with deep roots, strong traditions, and a bright fu-ture. As our community grows, we face challenges that require careful planning, steady leadership, and a fo-cus on preserving what make s our town special while pre-paring for tomorrow.Managing Growth and Development. Mocksville is experiencing new interest from businesses and families looking to move here. While this growth is positive, it also raises concerns about traffic, infrastructure strain, and the preservation of our small-town character. With over 30 years in real estate, I under-stand the opportunities and risks of development. I will advocate for smart growth, encouraging investment that fits our community, requiring developers to address infra-structure needs, and ensur-ing zoning decisions balance progress with protection of our neighborhoods and town charm.Infrastructure and Pub-lic Services. Growth brings new demands on our roads, water, sewer and public safe-ty services. We must make strategic investments in in-frastructure so it keeps pace with development. I will work to prioritize projects that improve road safety and strengthen water and sewer systems. I also support en-suring our police, fire and EMS have the resources they need to serve a growing pop-ulation effectively.Economic Development and Local Business Support. A healthy economy is critical to Mocksville’s long-term success. We must attract quality jobs while support-ing the small businesses that are the backbone of our com-munity. I will partner with local organizations to recruit new businesses, while also making it easier for small businesses to start, grow and thrive.Fiscal Responsibility and Transparency. Our taxpayers deserve a town government that is accountable and care-ful with every dollar. I will push for clear, transparent budgeting, efficient use of resources, and open commu-nication with residents. Ma-jor decisions should not be made behind closed doors - reaching out to our commu-nity partners, and supporting the creation of programs that can meet the needs of our town’s people. Another local issue we have experienced recently is water outages and boil wa-ter advisories. Regardless of the cause, we need to have a better alert system when these events occur. I pro-pose the idea of having large construction traffic message boards detailing when there is a water advisory in town. They can be placed in high traffic areas around the town for individuals to be able to see. The usual response is just communicated on social media or sent through text over the phone. Given that water is a necessary resource used for everyday living, we should all be notified imme-diately due to its threat to our health. Not everyone has ac-cess to the internet, a phone that texts, or to local news channels. Therefore, other options like this should be explored. We rely on cars given we are a rural area. From the 1930s until the 1970s, Mocksville had a Grey-hound bus service that came downtown. Years ago, a Winston-Salem PART ser-vice returned only to be re- moved. Our community has grown and will continue to do so with the construction of new housing complexes. Because of this, I believe we need better access to strong reliable road and pedestri-an infrastructure. I would like to propose the idea of having bike lanes and better sidewalks throughout the whole town, as well as a re-liable and free of charge bus system that will take senior citizens, healthcare patients, and others who cannot af-ford a car, around town and to surrounding areas. We do have a small transportation service but it is not free of charge. This is not sustain-able for all those individuals who need a reliable mode of transportation. Are you satisfied with the law enforcement contract and coverage with the Da-vie County Sherriff’s Of-fice?Galeas: My personal experience with the law en-forcement contract and cov-erage of the Davie County Sherriff’s Office has been satisfactory. I have seen them protecting and serving our residents at night by pa-trolling through the down-town area and at family or local events. Additionally, they participate in town edu- cation events, helping to ed-ucate local schools and our community members. Other IssuesGaleas: I am a new face that aspires to bring fresh energy, ideas, and health ex-perience to local leadership. I want to make sure that with all of Mocksville’s growth and progress, that our small town feel never fades and that all people’s community needs are made a top priority. I am running for town board out of passion for the place I love and have always been proud to call home. I have lived here all my life and I am the daughter of a local Davie County Schools edu-cator. I value public health, empathy, family, equity, and education. I would like to make a difference in our town by ad-dressing our health needs and promoting equity, making safer and more comfortable commuting environments for all pedestrians, giving more support to local small businesses and town ven-dors, and by safeguarding our town’s civic engagement and historic character. I am a neighbor, a proven leader, and an advocate who wants to make sure that Mocksville continues to be the special and safe place we call home. they should reflect the priori-ties and input of our citizens.Preserving Quality of Life. Mocksville’s charm comes from its people, histo-ry and community spirit. As we plan for growth, we must continue to invest in parks, greenways, recreation, and community events that bring people together. Part of pre-serving quality of life also means maintaining a clean, welcoming appearance. By enhancing the image of our community through beauti-fication efforts, keeping our streets clean, and highlight-ing our historic character - we can create a place res-idents are proud of and visi-tors remember. These invest-ments make Mocksville a place where families want to stay and future generations want to live.The challenges ahead are real, but they are also opportunities. By balancing growth and preservation, in-vesting in infrastructure and safety, supporting economic development, and governing responsibly, we can ensure Mocksville remains a thriv-ing, welcoming and safe place for all. My commit-ment is to listen, lead with common sense, and work every day for the people of this town.Are you satisfied with the law enforcement contract and coverage with the Da-vie County Sheriff’s Of-fice?Harding: Public safety is one of the most import-ant responsibilities of local government, and ensuring that our citizens feel safe in their homes, businesses, and neighborhoods must remain a top priority. Overall, I be-lieve our law enforcement partnership provides strong benefits, but like any ar-rangement, it requires regu-lar review and open dialogue to make sure it continues to meet the needs of our grow-ing town.The sheriff’s office brings resources, training and a depth of personnel that would be difficult for a smaller mu-nicipal police department to provide on its own. Resi-dents benefit from access to specialized units, advanced equipment, and the ability to coordinate seamlessly across the county. Just as import-ant, many of the deputies serving Mocksville are local people who live in town or have strong ties here. They know our neighborhoods, understand our community’s character, and have our best interests in mind. That local connection helps ensure our town’s unique needs remain a priority.The financial impact of this arrangement is also sig-nificant. Maintaining a mu-nicipal police department was costing the town nearly $600,000 more over a three-year period compared to the current contract. Those cost savings are substantial and allow Mocksville to rein-vest in other pressing needs such as infrastructure, parks and community services; all while still ensuring robust law enforcement coverage. Importantly, some of these savings can and should be di-rected back into public safe-ty. For example, strategically located surveillance systems in high-traffic and vulner-able areas not only deter crime and assist deputies with investigations, but also help reduce response times by giving law enforcement better situational awareness.A key part of public safe-ty is protecting our youth. School Resource Officers are vital to building trust with students and ensuring that our schools remain safe learning environments. I fully support continued in-vestment in SRO coverage so that families know their children are protects.Ultimately, I support con-tinuing our contract with the Davie County Sheriff’s Office, but with a strong focus on accountability, transparency, and proactive community policing. By strengthening SRO cover-age, reinvesting cost savings into smart technology like surveillance systems to im-prove response times, and relaying on deputies with strong local ties, we can en-sure that Mocksville remains a safe, welcoming and thriv-ing community.Other IssuesHarding: Mocksville has always been more than a town, it’s a community root-ed in history, strengthened by its people, and filled with potential for the future. My vision is to build on what makes Mocksville unique while embracing creative opportunities that make our town stronger for genera-tions to come.One of our greatest oppor-tunities lies in using our his-tory as an engine for growth. Other towns, such as Mount Airy, have transformed their heritage into thriving tour-ism economies. Mocksville can do the same by investing in museums, cultural exhib-its, and preservation projects that showcase our story. Our history is not just something to be remembered - it can be a driver of economic devel-opment, bringing in visitors who will shop, dine and stay here.This is personal for me. My son and I purchased and restored the Carolina Frost Cabin and the Carolina Cot-tage at Main Street and Lex-ington Road. These projects were not only about sav-ing historic structures, but about bringing new life to our community and creating landmarks that spark interest and pride. They represent the type of leadership I want to bring to the town - preserv-ing what matters while creat-ing new opportunities.I’ve had the privilege of living in small towns and large cities across the coun-try. That perspective taught me something important: small towns don’t fail over-night. They decline because of poor leadership, missed opportunities, and deci-sions made without think-ing about the long term. But I’ve also seen towns thrive by embracing innovation, supporting local business-es, and highlighting what makes them unique. That’s the kind of vision I want to bring to Mocksville. Leadership also means mak-ing smart choices with our resources. We’ve saved mon-ey by streamlining services, and I believe some of those savings should be reinvest-ed into projects that directly improve quality of life. My vision is to make Mocksville a more vibrant place to live and visit through downtown revitalization, heritage trails, and community spaces that draw people in and give res-idents more to enjoy close to home. Even small im-provements - beautification efforts, clear signage, and better pedestrian access - send a powerful message that Mocksville values its people and welcomes its visitors.What makes me the right person for this role is a com-bination of professional experience, personal invest-ment, and commitment to a long-term vision. I’m not just talking about Mocksville’s future - I’m actively work-ing to preserve its past and strengthen its present. I’ve put my own time, energy and resources into projects that make Mocksville better, and I understand the responsibil-ity that comes with making decisions on behalf of our community.Mocksville deserves leadership that listens, that values its history, and that has the foresight to guide it toward a stronger future. By preserving our heritage, sup-porting our local businesses, revitalizing our public spac-es, and planning wisely, we can ensure that Mocksville remains not just a place to live, but a destination we’re proud to call home.

The loss was Davie’s sixth straight, with four of them coming by one goal. That is absolutely brutal.“We are competing in every game we have played, even with all the injuries we have right now,” coach Nathan Stephens said. “The toughness and fight is there and most of the games we have had a big majority of the possession and dominated the play. We just can’t put the ball in net right now. Whether it’s the goal keeper making a once-in-a-lifetime save or just bad luck. Eventually the opponent is going to break free and score. That is where we have been the last two weeks.”The Greyhounds held a 1-0 lead at halftime, but Kellan Wiles’ team-high seventh goal tied the score. Davie, though, ended up lamenting Varsity soccer suffers another painful loss Please See Suffers - Page B5 By Brian PittsEnterprise Record Following a spectacular regular season, the numbers for Davie’s tennis team in the NPC Tournament won’t jump off the page. But there were silver linings everywhere as Davie got wins from all four entries.The tournament was held at Mooresville on Oct. 1.“All of them played some really good tennis,” coach Collin Ferebee said. “Yeah, we didn’t win anything, but it took every other team’s one seed to beat us. We didn’t lose to anything besides one seeds, so I was proud of that fact. We were hanging in these matches playing two seniors, a junior and a freshman against my two freshmen, a sopho-more and a senior.”Davie’s top performer was junior Corbin Drum, who won two of three matches to finish second in singles. She romped 8-0 in the first round. She won 6-0, 6-4 in the semifinals. Davie’s top seed lost 6-4, 6-4 in the finals as the junior left with a 13-2 season record.“She played a great match (in the finals),” Ferebee said. “She played the Lake Norman girl really hard. She played a heck of a match. It’s not like Corbin lost; the other girl won.”Freshman Sydney Ward and senior Casey Cao split two doubles matches, winning 8-2 and losing 7-5, 6-2. The day ended with their record at 7-2.“They played the No. 1 team from South Iredell and played them real hard,” Ferebee said. “But con-sidering they are my 2/3 doubles and it was still that close against the one seed that ended up winning in the championship, I was really proud of that effort.”After whipping their first-round opponents 8-1, freshman Layla Ha-zlip and sophomore Ola Leszczuk lost for the first time all year. It was a 6-2, 7-6 decision that gave them their first setback in 10 matches.“They were two and three for me,” Ferebee said. “They lost to North Iredell’s No. 1 seed who end-ed up finishing second.”Kate Chaffin went 1-1 in singles, winning 8-0 and falling short 8-6 in the second round. The sophomore holds a 12-2 record in singles.“She played really well the first round (against a girl from Moores-ville),” Ferebee said. “She had some struggles with her earlier in the year. She turned around and killed her. I was really proud of that. She played the one seed from North Iredell and lost 8-6. So it was a heck of a showing from Davie County with us being so young.” Drum takes 2nd in NPC tennis By Brian PittsEnterprise Record Davie’s varsity football team did exactly what it wanted to do at North Iredell on Friday: Put the overmatched opponent away quickly and let coach Brian Hinson empty Davie breezes in NPC opener War Eagles hosting Statesville in Friday homecoming game the bench in the second half. The NPC opener was a 35-0 yawner that only lasted one hour, 47 minutes. The 1-5 Raiders had their doors blown off for the third time this season. Davie’s third straight win lifted its overall record to 4-2. Shortly after the opening kick- off, Davie faced a less-than-ideal third-and-14 situation. No matter. Quarterback Draeton Nance didn’t find an open receiver, so he took off and gained 15 yards. Six plays later, Nance connected with re-ceiver Ethan Driver for a 17-yard touchdown. The War Eagles got behind the chains again on their second pos-session, this time second-and-19. Again, they were undaunted. Nance went deep and hooked up with Driv-er for a 42-yard completion at the North 10. Nance scored on a keeper three plays later. On the first play of Davie’s third offensive series, Nance ran an option to the right and pitched to Driver, who cooked the Raiders for 25 yards. On third-and-7, North’s defense blitzed up the middle, Nance dodged it by rolling right and he broke a marvelous 43-yard TD run. North put together its best of-fensive push early in the second quarter, driving from its 14 to the Davie 20. But the Raiders failed to get anything out of it as senior cor-nerback Gavin Reese intercepted a pass in the end zone on the 11th play of the drive. Then the War Eagles roared 80 yards in nine plays to widen the gap. Their fifth TD in five offensive possessions in the first half came with :51 to go in the second quarter. Noah Dulin’s 30-yard reception set up Braxton Bowling’s second TD run. The entire second half was played with a mercy-rule running clock. Notes• This was the first meeting with N. Iredell in 24 years. • Davie has a six-game winning streak in the series, with the first five coming from 1997-2001. This was the 31st all-time meeting, and now Davie leads the series 22-8-1. • Reese collected his third pick of the season. That matches the highest total across six years (Connor Hood had three last year). • For homecoming this Friday, Please See Breezes - Page B4 Senior cornerback Gavin Reese storms in to upend a North Iredell ball carrier.

The TDs were to Jared Vaughters (50 yards), Axel Sandoval and KJ McLelland. W. Sandoval’s pick-6 was a 50-yard return. Zion Rob-erson had a scoring run and Justin Jimenez converted 4 of 5 extra point kicks as the 7-0 Tigers climbed to the most wins in eight years. They entered this week’s cham-pionship game against Ellis with their longest winning streak in nine years.Ellis 14, WR 8In the other semifinal game, visiting Ellis faced a rare deficit of 8-0 when West Rowan scored on its first possession. But the Jaguars responded in a big way and punched their tickets to the championship game.Will Hileman engineered an 80-yard drive by com-pleting three passes to Gra-ham Wood. Then Cam James pulled Ellis within 8-6 by scoring on an 8-yard run.In the third quarter, Ellis got a stop and handed the ball to James, who ripped off a 55-yard TD to put his team in front. Then James capped the scoring with a two-point run. The Bulldogs (5-2) did not threaten after their opening possession. Ellis entered the final with a 6-1 record, the lone blemish coming against South Davie.“The whole defense played great,” assistant coach Mike Morgan said. “It was a great team effort shutting them down after their first drive. They were pretty good, really physical, especially their interior line. They’re the best team we have played by far from that division the past three years. I’d be surprised if that isn’t a good high school team in a few years.”North Davie remained winless with an 8-0 loss to Southeast. Bailey fires 39; ties career best birdies and tied Tabor senior Zella Ann Cook for medalist honors.“Kori really had her driv-er working and had really nothing but short irons in on almost every hole,” coach Bob Donley said. With 49s, freshman Ali James and sophomore Emma Jones helped the War Eagles take first place in the three-team nonconference meet. For the second week in a row, James had a birdie to help her achieve the best score of her young career; in the previous match she had a 13-over 49 at Oak Valley. Jones broke 50 for the fourth time this year as Davie finished at 26-over 137, two strokes ahead of Reynolds and four better than Mt. Tabor. James and Jones tied for fifth place overall. Parker goes 11-0 for SD tennis Upcoming Games for the team. He focuses more on basketball, but he just picked it up so quick. During the practices he was able to learn how to hit the ground strokes and the serves, and he always appeared to have that competitive piece. So that wasn’t the issue, it was just him learning the funda-mentals of tennis.”Emerson Lyons was a sim-ilar story. The eighth grader picked up a racket for the first time in August and immedi-ately played a big role, going 5-2 at No. 6 singles and 5-0 in doubles.“I think Crosby and Em-erson are amazing stories,” Soots said. “They had never played tennis before this season, and they just picked it up so quick and just did awesome.”The team’s centerpiece was Harris Wagstaff, an eighth grader who went 4-3 at No. 1 singles.“He’s been on the team three seasons and has worked his way up,” Soots said. “He had a winning season in the No. 1 spot, so I think he did very well considering how he has improved every year.” The Tigers don’t post a winning record (4-3) without seventh-grader Ronnie Mor-gan at No. 3 and eighth-grader Brennan Van Lente at No. 4.“They had winning singles records and obviously made a difference in our overall record,” Soots said.

The teams met 10 times between 1956-90, and the Greyhounds won nine of them. But Davie won five of the last six matchups between 2001-06. Statesville has an 11-7 series lead. • The Greyhounds came out blazing with five con-secutive victories, but they showed cracks in their NPC opener, losing 35-0 to Lake Norman.

By Brian PittsEnterprise Record The Davie JV football team’s NPC opener was against lowly North Iredell on Oct. 2, and as expected, the War Eagles cruised 42-0. The winless Raiders (0-5) have been outscored 205-20, and this marked their third shutout loss.The running clock mercy rule begins when a team leads by 35, and Davie had that taken care of by halftime after a 21-point first quarter and a 35-0 lead at the break.Cam Holland and Austin Samuels scored two touch-downs each, and Dreighton Lunnerman scored on a kick-off return. There were four fumble recoveries, one each by Henry Migliarese, Bow-man Blakley, Allen Moxley and Wyatt Giff.“It was good to see ev-erybody get in there and get an opportunity to play quite a bit,” coach Brian Hinson said after Davie improved to 5-1 overall.The coach cited freshmen Migliarese (d-end), Blakley (linebacker) and Keith Mc-Donald as the top defensive performers. McDonald is a backup cornerback who made the most of his opportunity.“From the DB spot, he came down and had about five or six tackles for losses,” Hinson said. “He showed up and made some plays. It was good to see. Keith is an athlet-ic kid. He’s got some ability, it’s just right now everybody on our defense is pretty dang good. I think he is enjoying just being on the team and competing at practice. I think he’ll play a lot more for us next year on JV.”Freshman receiver Easton Stanley came off the bench and “had a big catch,” Hinson said. “He got more opportu-nities.”Perhaps the loudest cheers went to Abigal Dickerson, a freshman backup quarterback who completed a pass to Wade Hefner.“Our girl had her first completed pass of her ca-reer,” Hinson said. “It was a little swing pass. The sideline cheered for her. That was fun to see.” (336) 751-2304 MILLEREQUIPMENTRENTAL FALL IS HERE!

Statesville improved to 5-6-4.“We easily could have 10 wins right now, having lost a few now by a goal,” Stephens said. “(This game) was partic-ularly tough to swallow as we went into overtime and had chance after chance, only to give away a controversial free kick in the last two minutes where they scored.”Entering the week, Mooresville and Lake Nor-man were tied for first in the NPC at 5-0. South Iredell and Statesville are tied for third at 2-3. North Iredell was fifth at 1-4.“We are still down some regular starters who are a huge part of our team, and un-fortunately I don’t think they will return before the season is over,” Stephens said. “We are going to continue to work hard - I assure you - and we’ll see how it goes.” Suffers ...

The Churchmen at Eaton’s The Stella Ledbetter Ris-ing Stars Memorial Fund was established by commu-nity members in memory of a little girl who touched countless lives with her strength and spirit. “Stella was an inspiration to us all,” said her parents, Jesse and Mindy Ledbetter. “We see her every day in the stillness of the clouds and the rustling chimes. We feel her spirit in the air as it whis-pers through the trees and in the beauty that surrounds us. Stella was a gift to us all, and she is continuing this gift through the Stella Led-better Rising Stars Memorial Grant.”Through this fund, Stel-la’s light shines on in class-rooms across Davie County. This year, several local ed-ucators have been awarded grants to bring creative, en-gaging, and inspiring learn-ing opportunities into their classrooms.Caroline DeheckCornatzer Elementary Functional Skills Fridays Since its founding in 2009, Pearls of Empower-ment, a women’s giving cir-cle supported by the Davie Community Foundation, has united women across gener-ations and backgrounds with one goal: to improve the lives of women and children in Davie County.Pearls is composed of women ranging from their 20s to their 90s, and from all walks of life.

B10 - DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Oct. 9, 2025 Sheffield-Calahaln County Line By Brenda ThompsonSheffield-CalahalnCorrespondent I’m still unable to ac-cess Facebook. Since I was hacked, I have no way of getting church or community news if it is not sent via email or text. I cannot post any-thing to the Sheffield-Cala-haln News Facebook page. If any of you can think of a way to help me get back on Face-book, I welcome your ex-pertise. I’ve been hacked by more than one hacker which has caused me a great deal of inconvenience. Facebook keeps telling me they cannot identify me. Of course not, a hacker in MI, GA and PA (the 3 I know of) have been using my name, selling cars and heaven knows what else.

A service celebrating her life was held Saturday afternoon at Troutman Funeral Home.
