Flat Rock Elementary students and staff recently gathered to honor, remember, and express gratitude to the men and women who have served the nation in the armed forces. The program started with a flag parade led by students in pre-kindergarten and kindergarten. The guest speaker was Surry County Schools Board of Education member Dale Badgett, Command Chief Master Sergeant of the United States Air Force (Ret.), who “delivered an inspiring message,” school officials said. Fourth- and fifth- grade students performed several songs and included a poetry reading. “Our veterans were recognized for their service and provided a meal to share with their families,” officials there said. “Thank you veterans.”

School board recount decision to take time

DOBSON — While Tuesday’s general election is history, there’s still a bit of unfinished business surrounding a Mount Airy Board of Education race with a 19-vote difference between two candidates. Republican Kyle Leonard was the apparent victor for the at-large school board seat now held by longtime member Tim Matthews, a Democrat, with a vote margin of 1,763 to 1,744. Recounts are a usual step when such a razor-thin result occurs, but that won’t be triggered until certain determinations are made, a local election official said. “The current vote totals show less than a 1% difference between the two candidates,” according to Surry County Elections Director Sydney Bedsaul Romine. “Technically, we’ll need to wait until after all remaining ballots are processed before we can determine whether this contest falls within that threshold,” Romine explained. One factor involves provisional ballots in the mix. A citizen is allowed to cast a provisional ballot during an election whenever questions arise about his or her eligibility to vote, which can include not presenting a photo ID upon arriving at a polling site. Those persons can still vote that day, subject to their eligibility being verified. Provisional ballots basically are put on hold until election

King Wildcats beat South Stokes 46-38 to win FYAL Super Bowl

The King Wildcats, formerly the West Stokes Prowlers, outscored the South Stokes Sauras 46-38 on Saturday night to win the Foothills Youth Athletic League Super Bowl under the lights at Wildcat Stadium on the West Stokes campus. The No. 2 seed Wildcats trailed 19-18 at halftime, retook the lead early in the third quarter and stayed in front the rest of the way against fourth-seeded South Stokes, which was playing in the championship game for the first time in program history. Wildcats’ Hunter Barneycastle was named Super Bowl MVP. South Stokes took its halftime lead on a play by league MVP Eli Lash, who stripped a King ball carrier and returned the fumble 80 yards for a touchdown. The extra point put the Sauras up by one point. The win was the fourth championship for King in eight title-game appearances. The Wildcats also won in 2005, 2007 and 2008, and lost in 2006, 2009, 2010 and 2014. Other Super Bowl results In the JV Gold Bracket, the Pilot Mountain Cardinals beat the Mount Airy Bears 13-0.

'Clean' campaigns waged for city offices

Politicians often talk a good game about wanting to run a clean campaign with no mudslinging, but this proved to be more than lip service leading up to this week’s municipal election in Mount Airy. Sure, the candidates were out to win and fought hard to do so by vigorously courting voters throughout the 2026 political season. But that’s as far as it went, with no dirty tricks involved, office-seekers are saying in the aftermath of Tuesday’s outcomes favoring two incumbents, Mayor Jon Cawley and North Ward Commissioner Chad Hutchens. “I want to thank Bill for running a clean campaign, not negative,” Cawley said of Bill Goins, whose attempt to capture the city’s top elected office in the non-partisan race fell short. Cawley came out on top to win his second four-year term by a vote margin of 2,042 to 1,230, or 63% — including 0% hard feelings. “First of all, I want to congratulate Jon on his win,” Goins commented regarding that result. “Secondly, I want to thank Jon for running a positive campaign, because that is not always the case in some elections,” he added. “I told him back in May or June that I was going to

Data center plan OK'd, hailed as 'great document'

Mount Airy’s data center ordinance is now gospel, having been approved unanimously after months of consideration — with one city official saying the issue was a done deal in another way. “The biggest thing I’ve learned through this process is we don’t have the option to say ‘no,’’’ Mayor Jon Cawley said of an outright ban on the controversial facilities locating here. “That is not an available option unless you want to go into litigation,” Cawley added regarding the fact data centers are legal enterprises. The only thing a locality can do is adopt regulations ensuring the facilities operate in ways that don’t hamper its quality of life, city officials said, which the Mount Airy Board of Commissioners hopes was accomplished with its decision Thursday night. If it failed to enact a data center ordinance, Commissioner Calvin Vaughn said then, one could have come into town under existing regulations, “which are more lax.” Vaughn and other board members say the new ordinance protects Mount Airy in regard to various data center implications such as allowable locations and water usage. “I think it’s a great document,” he said of the ordinance spanning 13 pages, “something other municipalities can use as a

Commissioners honor 3 Eagle Scouts

The Surry County Board of Commissioners recognized the achievements of three Eagle Scouts during Monday’s meeting. Included were Joseph Brevard and Ridge Reeves of Troop 556 and Kimber McMasters of Troop 561. Each scout was recognized by the board and given the opportunity to speak about their project. Brevard created a trail kiosk on the Sauratown Trail for his project that will be used to serve as a map and information center for visitors. “I had a lot of fun with this project, because I never heard of the Sauratown Trail before this,” he said. “But it is a hidden gem for me and a gem of the community.” Brevard said he hopes that through his project, he can raise awareness for the trail, which runs between Pilot Mountain State Park and Hanging Rock State Park. “I’m hoping that it’s going to bring a little more people into the Sauratown Trail so that they can enjoy the absolute wonder that is the North Carolina outdoors,” he said during his speech. Brevard thanked his family and all of his scoutmasters, ranging from the time he started the program as a Webelos to the time that he earned his Eagle Scout recognition.

North Stokes stuns South Davidson 21-12 in 1A playoff opener

DENTON — North Stokes entered the NCHSAA 1A State Football Playoffs at 0-10. On Friday night, the Vikings left South Davidson with a first-round win. North Stokes beat Greater Triad 1A/2A Conference opponent South Davidson 21-12 and advanced to a second-round game at Robbinsville on Nov. 13. “I am so happy for our players,” North Stokes coach Kolt Bullington said. “We’ve lost several key players to injuries this season, and we only dressed 19 players last night. Being 0-10, they had every reason not to show up. But they played with the urgency and focus you must have to win in the playoffs.” The Vikings (1-10) had lost to the Wildcats (6-5) 28-22 during the regular season. In that game, North Stokes led 22-20 with about three minutes left but couldn’t get a first down and had to punt. South Davidson returned the punt 67 yards for the winning touchdown. This time, North Stokes controlled the game. The Vikings outgained South Davidson 372-209, had 19 first downs to nine and held the ball for 29:35 to the Wildcats’ 18:25.
