She loves people, too.“I have always had a pas-sion for helping people and an-imals and during the pandemic when all pets went to foster homes, I saw the importance and need to help the Humane Society of Davie County,” said Hannah, Ambassador of Respect and team leader for this project. Between the dates of March 25 and April 20, the Davie Respect Initiative will hold a drive to give back to the HSDC. Throughout the COVID-19 challenges, the humane society experienced unprecedented and challenging circumstanc-es. As the humane society no longer has a physical building and/or meeting location, all animals are being cared for in foster homes. And yet, the organization is still working diligently to meet the needs of all animals and raise the number of adoptions throughout our community.

The DRI receives applications from respectful projects quarterly, selecting up to three awardees who are honored as Ambas-sadors of Respect, with the goal of boosting the amount of respect seen and expressed in the community. All Ambassadors of Respect have completed or are working on their own respect projects, involving something they are passionate about. This spring, the Ambassa-dors of Respect have collec-tively chosen to give back to the Humane Society of Davie County as a group project.Throughout the community, boxes will be placed at busi-nesses and popular destina-tions to collect donations for the Humane Society. These lo-cations include: Tru Taekwon-do, Animal Hospital of East Davie, Simply Fur Grooming, Advance Country Store, Davie County Recreation and Parks (former high school), Hills-dale Animal Hospital, NC Cooperative Extension office, Ellis Middle School and The Farm Bureau. At all of these locations, there will be a box Ambassadors of Respect Hannah Watson and Savannah Ivey are leading the humane society project.Please See Humane - Page 8 By Mike BarnhardtEnterprise Record Henry Walker sees it every-where he goes.Actually, the lifelong farmer sees “it” underneath where he’s looking.It’s farmland.And it’s being swalloped up in record numbers by business-es and home builders.Speaking before county commissioners just prior to the board approving updates to the voluntary agricultural districts in the county, Walker Expect delays when trav-eling on I-40 in eastern Davie County through the summer.Nightly lane closures will be likely as contractors com-plete a paving project between NC 801 and Pinebrook School Road.Starting on Monday, the contractor will install a 45-day westbound lane closure to complete concrete slab repairs and patching.

They had been look-ing for an opportunity to vol-unteer together and that would be somewhat flexible with their schedules. After picking up the do-nations from Lowes Foods Bermuda Run, Richard com-mented how good he felt that this food was not going to be thrown out, that it was going to people in need. He said it made him feel a lot better about the grocery store; the employees in the bakery, deli, meat de-partment and produce are all so happy to donate the food. “Trish in receiving is genu-inely interested in who is get-ting the food and how we are preparing it,” he said. “There are so many caring interactions and we see that the team mem-bers at Lowes are delighted to know that the food they are giving us is feeding our com-munity.” Meats, produce, bread and pastries as well as a hot meal are available weekly at The Bridge at 197 Main in Coolee-mee. Crotts, pastor and volunteer at the Bridge, shared this story. Last week, they learned even more about one of the regular clients from his neighbor.

We should have learned many hard lessons in the past couple of years, and hopefully, we’ve come to value life, love, and good health a bit more. In this Lenten season, I plan to reflect on the simple things that make up the intricacies of life. I challenge you to look around your house and, in your memories, and find objects that give you a memory, things that make you want to sit up and celebrate life, to appreciate what you have, just a little bit more.One of my favorite plays is Our Town by Thornton Wild-er because of the message stated in Act III. Emily, who has died, returns to her home as a twelve-year-old girl. She has the opportunity to re-live one day, but she quickly realizes that it’s just too painful. Speaking to her mother, she says, “… just for a moment now we’re all together. Mama, just for a moment, we’re happy. Let’s really look at one an-other.” Then as she watches her mother bustling around the kitchen doing her morning chores, she realizes that people are just too busy to take the time to appreciate what they have. In agony, she turns to her guide, the Stage Manager and continues, “I can’t. I can’t go on. It goes so fast. We don’t have time to look at one another. I didn’t realize. So all that was going on, and we never noticed.” Then she asks the Stage Manager to take her back to her grave. Before they leave, she says one more good-bye. “Good-bye world. Good-bye Grover’s Corners…Mama and Papa. Good-bye to clocks ticking…and Mama’s sunflowers. And food and coffee. And new ironed dresses and hot baths…and sleep-ing and waking up. Oh earth, you are too wonderful for anybody to realize you.”My goal, over forty days, is to celebrate life, starting with Emily’s list, specifically, clocks ticking. Dad had a Baby Ben alarm clock beside his bed. He didn’t need to use it often, but occasionally, he needed it. The clock was small, just about the size of a fist, but its alarm packed a powerful punch. I loved that little alarm clock with its cheerful tick, tick, tick, and I loved the sound and feel of the clock when you wound it. If you didn’t wind it, the clock stopped, so it was a daily ritual to wind the clock and set the alarm every night. Those were sounds of my childhood. When I was a teenager, Dad gave me my own Baby Ben. Newer and shinier, perhaps, but not as special as Dad’s. However, that alarm clock symbolized a change in my life. No longer was I to rely on Dad to get me up in the morning; it was now my responsibility. It was up to me to wind my clock, set the alarm, and get up when it went off. Dad was often long gone to work before I had to get up, and though I appreciated the step towards maturity and self-reliance, I also was aware enough to realize my life was changing. I think even then I realized that relying on myself meant Dad’s role in my life was shrinking; he was pulling away, and I was growing up. That Baby Ben went with me to college and continued with me when I started my first teaching job. Somewhere along the line, the Baby Ben was replaced by a clock radio, and much later, a cell phone. Sometimes I needed more than one morning reminder. Unlike my dad, I have never been a morning person.Dad’s Baby Ben resides in my nightstand. It no longer runs, but the message lives on. That Baby Ben belongs to a simpler time, a simpler life, a life I can reflect on and cher-ish, yet understand it can’t be today’s life. Time marches on and little girls grow up, but, like the clock that needed winding, we need to give ourselves permission to re-charge and reflect, to keep moving forward, yet take time to trea-sure each moment of life.Davie DoctorsBy Marie CraigI have completed my tenth history book about Davie County, and it is for sale at the library. The research was interesting in locating and compiling biographies about doctors in Davie County who were born before 1900. The final count was 79 physicians. Sources were U.S. Census, other history books, Internet family trees, and files in the history room of our public library. The book includes 34 photographs.A few physicians had data that remained hidden because of the length of time that had passed. Seventeen of them served as doctors in the Civil War, and four doctored in World War One, with one dying at Camp Jackson in Co-lumbia, S.C. Dr. Lester Martin saw military duty in World War One and Two. Several families had multiple doctors. I read that the An-dersons had 11 doctors and two dentists. There were sev-eral fathers whose sons also became doctors. In the mid-1960s, there were 19 feature articles in our local newspaper with medical biographies. Gordon Tomlinson, editor of the paper, wrote 15 of these. One of the articles had this inter- esting paragraph: “These doctors carried locked in secrecy family skeletons of unhappy family relations often under-lying contributions of illness. hey treated souls as well as bodies. And what did they receive in compensation? Five dollars for the delivery of a baby. Often their pay was in produce, gunny sacks of sweet potatoes, peanuts, popcorn, dried fruits. Sometimes a woman patient would pay her bill with a quilt she had put together or she would knit stock-ings for her doctor’s children.”The life of a doctor is always difficult, but especially so in those distant times. One doctor kept a horse on both sides of Hunting Creek in case of flooding. Another family had an extra room that they kept ready in case the doctor needed to spend the night because it was too far to ride home in the dark. The 1860 Census listed the profession of one physician as “steam doctor.” Internet research yielded this about a similar doctor: “He [John Stith Pemberton] was trained as a so-called steam doctor in a system devised by the Massachusetts doctor and herbalist Samuel Thom-son—a system that relied on herbal treatments and steam baths that, it was believed, would help patients rid them-selves of disease by sweating heavily.”Almost all the doctors had large families and maintained farms for the family. Several were chairmen of political parties and county superintendents of health. The neigh-borhood columns of our local papers gave insight to their lifestyle like this one in 1911. “Dr. R.M. Griffin, of Farm-ington, was in town Wednesday in his Brush automobile. The doctor said he made the trip in less than one hour de-spite the bad roads.” Dr. John Manley Cain and Dr. Samuel Winfield Little were first cousins who served the northwest part of Davie. Their grandparents are also my fourth great grandparents. Dr. Johnson, Farmington, was described thus: “He had the confidence of the village and entire surrounding terri-tory. One supporter was heard to say that a bottle of clear water, well shaken by Dr. Johnson, would in the case of pain insure instant relief. In his rounds about the country, riding in his one-horse buggy drawn by faithful “Jay Bird,” he was apt to stop with a neighbor, inquire about crops and the general run of things, and the health of the family. Maybe a few pills from his worn saddle bags would be handed out, just in case.This was a unique chance to learn more about Davie County long ago.OrientalBy Gaye HootsOriental is the name of the small coastal town where I now live. It is 20 miles east of New Bern and is known as the sailboat capital of North Carolina. There are roughly 900 residents and 3,000 boats. The area was occupied by native Americans until the 1700s, and thereafter settled by a family named Midyette. One of the town’s streets is named Midyette. Originally the town was called Smith’s Creek, and my home is situated where Smith’s Creek emp-ties into the Neuse River and on into the ocean.A member of the Midyette family was instrumental in changing the name to Oriental after the wreck of a ship by that name near here. The town is small, and the downtown is a mix of old, old being restored, and a few new homes, but most of the newer homes are in developments around a water view and off the main roads. There is much less traffic than in Advance and the road to New Bern is dot-ted with small towns that you would miss if you blinked. The road I live on is Treasure Dr. off Teaches Cove, which is named for Edward Teach, the famous pirate known as Blackbeard who lived in Bath and operated in this area.The county seat is small. Last week I needed some forms from there and when I asked for them, I was the only per-son in that department. The clerk offered to fill them out for me, had me read and sign them and I was done. Today I went to the local hardware store, which has been here for 40 plus years I am told. I asked if they could recommend someone to remodel my bathroom. They took the time to look up numbers, check with other employees for refer-ences, and assured me the person was trustworthy and safe for me to be around.When I go to Morehead, I take the Minnesott ferry to the Cherry Branch ferry, which is free and is a 3-mile ride. There are more shops, restaurants, and activities in More-head, but I prefer the smaller town here. The local grocery store is the Piggly Wiggly where I shop. The last time I was there I dropped a bottled drink and the older, and much less mobile, gentleman in front of me insisted on picking it up. I know few people here but get the same down-home treat-ment I do in Lower Advance.Most of the activity in the community revolves around the water, sailing, fishing, seafood meals, and waterfront events. The fireworks and boat parades I can view from my yard. I make a trip back to Advance once a month and am looking forward to our class reunion in April. Hope to see you then. Way to go, Chris Rock.Way to go, Will Smith.I admire you both.For those of you who haven’t heard the story of all sto-ries, here comes a brief synopsis.On Sunday night, there was a televised awards show. It was in a big city, like always. It featured the rich and fa-mous, like always. People looked good, like always. They walked on red carpets, like always. Common folks like us oohed and ahhed, like always.It was the Oscars. I’m not sure who Oscar is, or how an award was named after him, it doesn’t really matter. But this Oscar is a big deal, just ask him. Everybody wants to take him home. Everybody wants to party with him. This Oscar is every woman’s dream and every man’s mission. At least on this awards show, he is.Well, a bunch of movie stars (Think Hollywood, you know, swimming pools ...) get together at a fancy theater (They called it The Dolby, so you know that the sound was great. We’ll get to that a little later.) to ooh and ahh over each other and to be oohed and ahhed upon by folks like us at home, lounging on our couches in our PJs, eating pop-corn in between brief naps, secretly wishing in our minds that we were those movie stars, secretly thinking about how humble we would be if it were us on that stage receiv-ing that Oscar award.Apparently (I say apparently, because like most people, I wasn’t watching the Oscars on Sunday night.), this show featured some pretty spectacular awards and entertain-ment (I looked them up on the internet, so I know what I’m talking about here.). Beyonce sang with a chorus of 2,000 angels. Billie Eilish sang with a chorus of 2,000 violins (fancy fiddles). Reba McEntire sang with a chorus of regret (Who booked me for this?).The hosts (Don’t say hostesses, you sexist bigot.) were Amy Schumer, Wanda Sykes and Regina Hall. They were supposed to be funny. Actually, they were funny (At least the few clips I saw on the internet made me chuckle.). They also - like always - used the platform to espouse their po-litical and social beliefs. So what, we’re smart enough to believe in what we want to believe in, not in some mis-guided Hollywood (There comes that nasty taste, again.) star, right?Well, somewhere into this delightful awards show, Chris Rock shows up. (I think he was supposed to hand an Oscar to someone or something, I forgot to look that up.). He’s hosted the show before. He’s made fun of people (Heck, he makes fun of everyone.). He even made fun of Oscar. Oscar’s friends didn’t like that, and it was quite a while before Chris Rock got invited back to the big, fancy party.But here he was again, gracing that Dolby stage, mak-ing fun of everyone and everything in sight. That’s what he does.He looks at Jada Pinkett Smith, and tells her he loves her (Get your mind out of the gutter, there’s more than one kind of love, you pervert.). He then says something along the line of asking when she will star in the new GI Jane movie (There is no upcoming new GI Jane movie, he made that up. Comedians do that.) The laughter from the audience was somewhat sparse, sort of like a few crick-ets scratching their legs together. Even Will Smith (That’s Jada Pinkett Smith’s husband.) was laughing, or at least politely pretending to laugh.Then Will Smith looked over at his wife. She wasn’t laughing. She was obviously upset. She suffers from a medical condition that is causing her hair to come out, so she shaves her head (Re: GI Jane joke.) Being the good husband that he is, Will Smith promptly walks onto the stage and slaps the (I can’t use the word here, this is a fam-ily newspaper.) you know what out of Chris Rock. Then he goes back to his seat and shouts some other words that were much worse than the one above, letting Chris Rock know that his wife is not to be a subject of jokes (I told you we would get back to the great sound at The Dolby. You could hear every word as plain as day).Chris Rock was just doing what he had been doing, what he has been doing for decades, making fun of people. It’s what comedians do.Will Smith was just doing what husbands have been do-ing since the beginning of husbandry, taking up for their wives.Was anybody wrong here?- Mike Barnhardt DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, March 31, 2022 - 3 By Betty Etchison WestFor the Enterprise The administration of Abraham Lincoln as Pres-ident of the United States was preceded by eight pres-idents who served one four-year term or less. They were: one-term President Martin Van Bu-ren, who was not re-elect-ed to a second term; Wil-liam Henry Harrison, who died after serving only 31 days; James Tyler, who just served the rest of Harrison’s term; James Knox Polk, who chose to serve just one term; Zachary Taylor, who died after serving just 16 months; Millard Fillmore, who served the rest of Tay-lor’s term; Franklin Pierce, who served one term, and James Buchanan, also a one term president by choice. In addition to all the turn-overs in the presiden-cy from 1836 until 1861, there was great turmoil in the country over slavery, states’ rights, and numerous other issues. The Union was in grave danger of coming apart. The danger is illustrat-ed by the fact that South Carolina seceded from the Union in December before Lincoln was inaugurated, and, within three months of Lincoln’s election, seven more states seceded from the Union. Abraham Lincoln, a man who was not well-known in the East, stepped into a situation which seemed to be catastrophic. In spite of all of the difficulties with which the country was be-set when he took office, the tall, gangly man from Illi-nois rose to the occasion. He is now ranked in list-ings of the Presidents of the United States at the top or near the top of lists by his-torians. That was quite an ac-complishment for a pres-ident who faced what seemed like insolvable problems.There are probably more sites open to the public con-nected to Abraham Lincoln than there are to any other person who served as Pres-ident: the Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Histor-ic Site in Hodgenville, Ky.; Lincoln’s Boyhood Home in Hodgenville; Lincoln’s Boyhood National Memo-rial in Lincoln City, Ind.; Lincoln State Park, which is also in Lincoln City; and Lincoln’s New Salem State Historic Site in Petersburg, Ill. In addition to these sites connected to Lincoln, the most interesting may be the sites in Springfield, Ill. It is at that place where you will find the only house ever owned by Abraham Lincoln. It is at 413 South 8th St., and it is the house where Lincoln was living when he left Springfield to be inaugurated at the Pres-ident. It is also the home to which he would have re-turned when he left office if an assassin’s bullet had not prevented his return. Lincoln’s home looks today just as it did the day that Abraham Lincoln and his family boarded the train for Washington, D. C. Much of the furniture that belonged to the Lin-colns’ was sold when the family left Springfield. That furniture has been re-placed with furniture of the period when the Lincolns inhabited the house.Visitors notice that this was not the home a of a frontier backwoodsman, but is a nicely furnished house. There are some items and artifacts in the house that did belong to the Lincoln family. One of those items is Abraham’s desk, where with a little imagination one can see a tall man bent over writ-ing. The bed in Lincoln’s bedroom may not be the original one, but it is seven feet long which would have been necessary for six foot four Abraham Lincoln to sleep comfortably. A visit to that house is a must for visitors to Springfield.The Lincoln Presiden-tial Museum and Library, which is near Lincoln’s home, is spectacular. It is the most outstanding or one of the most outstand-ing of all of the presidential libraries. When you enter the huge building, you are greeted by the Lincoln fam-ily - Abraham, Mary, Rob-ert, Willie and Tad—stand-ing in front of a full-size model of the White House. They are, of course, wax figures, but well done, life-like wax figures. You see a full-size repli-ca of the log cabin in which Lincoln grew up. Young Lincoln is there reading by the light of the firee. From that point, you move on through every phase of Abraham Lin-coln’s life revealed though dioramas, holograms, mov-ies and every other kind of media imaginable. Some of the tour brings forth emo-tions you don’t expect. The other part of the building is the library, which houses Lincoln’s papers and important doc-uments. For example, one of the four existing copies of the Declaration of Inde-pendence is there. What a place for people doing re-search concerning the 16th President. As you see, the 744-mile trip from Mocksville to Springfield is a must for people interested in presi- dential history. Before leaving Spring-field, the visitor must also visit the Lincoln tomb. It is a large marble monument where Lincoln, his wife, Mary, and three of the four Lincoln sons, Eddie, Wil-lie, and Tad, are interred. The oldest Lincoln son, Robert, is buried at Arling-ton National Cemetery. There are other im-portant Lincoln sites that should be visited on the East Coast. The Lincoln Summer White House was really just a cottage at the Old Soldiers’ Home before Lincoln chose it as his get-away-place—away from the heat, the humidity, and the stench of the city in summer. Lincoln rode his horse the three and one half miles twice each day to be with his family at that site. This place is now open for visitors. There are interest-ing stories about Lincoln’s trip to that destination.The other place in the Washington area that you should visit is sad but im-portant. It is the Ford The-ater which has been remod-eled. The visitor there can see the box where the Pres-ident Lincoln was sitting and enjoying the play, “Our American Cousin,” when an assassin slipped in when a guard left his duty station and shot the President. There is a display of ar-tifacts in the Ford. Some of the items found there are: the assassin Booth’s dairy, which has his account of the murder and his flight; Booth’s boot, which had a 10-inch slit made by Dr. Mudd when he removed the boot from Booth’s foot; two Colt revolvers, a Spencer carbine; a folding pocketknife; and keys tak-en from Booth’s body after he was shot at the Garrett’s barn. There are also some articles there that were in Lincoln’s pocket when he was shot.You can end your tour where Mr. Abraham’s life ended at the Peterson House across the street from the Ford Theater. President Lincoln was car-ried there and placed on bed that was too short for his six feet four frame. He had to be placed at an angle on the bed. Mary followed as her husband was carried across the street, but she be-came so distraught that she had to be removed from the room. She sat in a rocking chair in another room and cried all night. Doctors arrived as did the members of Lincoln’s cabinet, who stood watch through the night. There was nothing that the doc-tors could do. The President was too gravely wounded. President Lincoln’s life ebbed away as he lay in the Peterson House.. After his death, the President’s body was car-ried to the East Room at Abraham Lincoln’s home in Springfield, Ill., and his summer home outside of Washington, DC, where he commuted to and from via a horse.Many sites associated with President Lincoln Wax figures of the Lincoln family, and President Lincoln ready to mount his horse. President Lincoln’s tomb; and the box at the Ford Theater where he was assassinated. the White House. After a service there, it was car-ried to the Capitol Rotun-da where it lay-in-state before being placed on a train from the 800-mile trip back to Springfield. There were about 10 more funeral services in cities along the way as the body moved to-ward Springfield. Crowds of people stood by the train tracks all across the country weeping as the funeral train passed by. On the train with the President’s body was that of his son, Willie, who had died while the Lincolns lived in the White House. 4 - DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, March 31, 2022 By Kelly SloanSocial WorkerDavie Senior Services This March, Davie County Senior Services joins the Administration for Community Living and senior nutrition programs across the country to celebrate the 50th anniver-sary of the national Senior Nutrition Program. This article is the last in a 5-part series that high-lights the nutrition program at Davie Senior Services. On a recent Friday afternoon, I sat in my of-fice with Meals on Wheels volunteer driver, Phyllis Boger Nichols, chatting with her about a route that she had just returned from delivering. Phyllis gave me some updates on a few of her cli-ents and was about to be on her way when I asked her if she knew exactly how long she had been delivering meals. Without any hesita-tion, Phyllis told me since February 2003. Of course, I wanted to know more and asked how she knew that off the top of her head. She said that her Dad, Sam Boger, called her and asked her to take his place. Sam had been delivering meals since the early 90s when he retired from Ervin Mills in Cooleemee. Sam then decided to work part-time with YVEDDI and ultimately decided to stop working there so that he could volunteer to deliver meals. As a regular driver, Sam was often asked to have other prospective volun-teers ride along with him on a route and train them. Sam had made his home in the Cooleemee area so this route was one that he did most regularly. In December 1995, Sam was asked if the recently hired Senior Services direc-tor, Kim Shuskey, could ride on his route with him. Today, Shuskey still vividly recalls the day that Sam “trained” her and spent some time with Phyllis talking about the route that day. Shuskey speaks of Sam’s “quiet but humorous” nature and his caring ways when interacting with the seniors on the route.I asked Phyllis to share more about her Dad and her family. Phyllis told me that her parents, Sam and Lois, married in 1939 when her mom was only 16 years old, which was common back then. They had 4 children (Betty Sue, Phyl-lis, Paul and Sylvia) and Lois stayed at home to raise them. Once they were all old enough to be out of the house, Lois begun work in Salisbury at Leisure Lads as a seamstress and would eventually become a super-visor. She would later work and retire from Monleigh Garments in Mocksville. Sam and Lois had strong faith in the Lord and raised their family in the church at Liberty United Method-ist, where Phyllis and some other family members still attend today. Both Sam and Lois taught Sunday school for a number of years and helped to serve in any capacity for their community. Helping others was a way of life for them. Phyllis “took over” for her Dad in 2003 when he begun to have declining health that would ultimate-ly force him to become homebound. Phyllis recalls that her mother had already been having health issues that limited her from be-ing able to cook like she always had. Sam and Lois would then receive Meals on Wheels at their home on Lois Lane for several months before Sam passed away in De-cember 2003. She tells me that her Dad was used to her Mom’s country cooking and that he would often tell her that he had “doctored” up the Meals on Wheels for himself and Lois. After Sam passed away, Lois continued to receive Meals on Wheels and her family would go by daily to check in on her and to help with anything she might need. I joined the Senior Services staff in 2004 and fondly remember my first trip to Lois Lane to meet Mrs. Lois Boger to do her reassessment for Meals on Wheels. I was greeted by a little dog that she called Bungee. She shared stories of her late spouse, her family, and her life experi-ences. She told me about her daughter delivering Meals on Wheels, although I had yet to meet her. We went through her file and did a few updates but mainly continued reminisc-ing about years past. We played with Bungee and she told me how much Sam loved this dog and about Phyllis sneaking him into the hospital so that he could see him. We may have laughed at more than a few jokes and shed some tears during an episode of the Golden Girls, which was often on when I would stop at the Boger home to deliver meals or on a scheduled home visit. Lois told me how much she enjoyed having the vol-unteers come by and how much getting hot meals delivered at lunch was a blessin. As I left this first time, I remember thinking how much Mrs. Lois Boger reminded me of my own grandmother. She had the same mannerisms and even the same physical look and wore the same glasses. My own grandmother had passed away in 1998 and I was thankful to have met this lady that reminded me so much of her. I would enjoy many more visits and reassessments with her over the years and would soon meet her daughter Phyllis when she came in to deliver meals. In 2009, Phyllis would move her Mom into her own home and along with Phyllis’ husband, Jack, they would become Lois’ primary caregivers. Over the next several years, Lois would continue receiving meals on wheels as respite for Phyllis and Jack. I thought back and re-membered delivering meals to Lois at Phyllis’ home and I asked Phyllis, “How did you keep delivering meals while you were car-ing for your Mom?” Phyllis told me that most of the time Jack would be there to help or that her sisters would come and sit with their Mom while she came to deliver meals. After all, Phyllis had prom-ised her Dad that she would take his place and she faith-fully delivered meals every Friday on the Advance route for 9 years. As her Mom’s health would continue to decline, the meals were helpful to both. Phyllis tells me that her Mom really liked the food and enjoyed the variety except the collard greens. Phyllis would add vinegar so that her Mom would eat them. Phyllis kept her Mom at her home and, along with help from family and friends and in-home services such as Meals on Wheels, was able to care for her until she developed a wound on her foot that required constant medi-cal supervision. At that time the physician told her that she would have to be placed in a facility. Phyllis and her family would then go daily to the facility and sit with and care for their Mom. At this point, I’m think-ing that Phyllis probably took a break from deliv-ering meals on wheels; however – I’m wrong.She continued coming in to deliver until the nutri-tion site manager urged her one day to consider taking a little time off to rest. Phyllis decided she would take a brief leave and spend more time with her Mom and trying to enjoy her favorite hobby, golf-ing. Phyllis’ Mom passed away on Mother’s Day of 2012 and I attended her memorial service at their home church. I remember speaking to Phyllis in the cemetery and offering my condolences on the loss of her Mother. I’m not sure that she ever knew how much I had come to love her Mother as well. One day not too long af-ter this, I was filling in for the newly-hired nutrition site manager and was look-ing for some volunteers to fill some empty spaces and I ran across Phyllis’ name and number in the “fill in” drivers list and I thought to myself, “What happened to Phyllis?” I called to ask her if she would want to come back and drive again and without hesitation she said of course she would – she just thought that we had plenty of volunteers so she hadn’t called to ask. Phyllis returned to “tak-ing her Dad’s place” and now often delivers meals multiple times each week and on any route that is open, but still loves the Advance route. In 2019, her brother Paul became homebound and needed the meals delivered to him. He was placed on the Advance delivery route. In delivering meals, Phyllis was also able to help her brother and see him weekly until he was no longer able to remain at home and later passed away in January 2022. The Boger family has been helping and been a part of the Davie County Meals on Wheels program for more than 25 years. Phyllis is a second gen-eration Meals on Wheels volunteer following in her father’s footsteps. Her Dad’s legacy will continue to live on through her and the staff at Senior Services. Today, our director, Kim Shuskey, took a trip down memory lane with Phyllis and helped her with her meal route. It was only fitting that Phyllis just so happened to be filling in on the Cooleemee route, where Shuskey delivered with her dad more than 25 years ago.Phyllis encourages anyone to give volunteer-ing a try or to come and ride along with her just one time. She says that she “likes to help people and it is very enjoyable for her to meet new people and know that I’m making a differ-ence in their lives. Some-times I’m the only person that they see each day.”If interested in learning more about becoming a volunteer or if you have a referral for the Meals on Wheels program, call Senior Services at 336-753-6230.

You know, it’s not only the plants, it’s all the people who will be coming for housing. We all go to eat. We can’t pave every-thing and we all need to keep that in mind,” he said. “Agriculture is important.”Eddie Leagans, chair of Davie’s ag district board, said the ordinance changes reflect changes to state reg-ulations. He said there are 59 farms in Davie County in the program, protecting from development some 6,951 acres.“The purpose is to pro-mote agricultural values and the general welfare of the county. More specifically, it creates identity pride in ag-ricultural communnities and it’s way of life, encourages the economic and financial health of agriculture, horti-culture and forestry ... and to decrease the likelihood of legal disputes such a nui-sance actions between farm owners and their neigh-bors.”Board members unani-mously approved the chang-es. Mark Jones said that in his lifetime, the number of dairy farms in Davie Coun-tuy went from some 200 to none. “We want to grow, we want to progress. But we have to eat. Farms feed us, we can’t lose site of that,” Jones said.

What we experienced next was a Divine moment in the making. We soon learned that a Thursday night client was using the fresh produce, frozen meats, cheeses, and breads to prepare meals for neighbors in Cooleemee. Rather than keeping the food for themselves, meals were being prepared and de-livered each week to more than a dozen people in town. This is a demonstration of the multiplying power of God in our midst. I remain amazed at the continual po-tential for my own and very personal transformation as part of this effort in Coolee-mee.

Howard Sr. (Clegg), shed his house of clay, and was promptly escorted by the angels on a heavenly flight, to a place of perfect rest and peace, on March 23, 2022. Clegg was known by the life he lived, the Lord he loved, and a legacy that is not easily followed. He was a man of integrity, a con-genial spirit and unmatched hu-mility. He was a true Christian, in every sense of the word, profess-ing Christ in 1958 at Hanes Bap-tist Church. He served God there faithfully in many capacities: Sunday School Teacher, Sunday School Superintendent, a mem-ber of the Building Committee, a member of the Board of Deacons, and Treasurer. No one has to wonder whether Clegg was a Christian, for it was manifested in his daily life. Evident in his life was the fact that He found the will of God, followed the will of God, and never forsook the will of God. He used the Bible as his instruction for daily living as well as for rearing his children. He served his family by Biblical example, lov-ing unconditionally. In turn, his family truly loved and re-spected him. Clegg was born June 27, 1931 in Advance of Godly parents, Willie Thomas Howard and Clara James Howard. Surviving to mourn his loss and treasure the many memories they made are: 2 brothers, Rev. Hobert Howard and wife Marguerite, and James Howard and wife Pauline. Clegg has two deceased siblings – a brother, Raymond Howard, and a sister, Dorothy Howard Sparks. He had many other relatives and loved them all. Clegg loved his country and proudly served in the U.S. Army. He supported several charities serving the needs of veterans. He retired from AT&T with approximately 40 years of service. During his career, he was a machinist, draftsman and an engineering lab technician.” On Oct. 23, 1955, Clegg married Imogene Lowe, whom he met at a gospel singing. God blessed them richly with two wonder-ful children: a son, William C. Howard Jr., (Chip) and wife Beth and a daughter, Gina Renee Howard. He enjoyed his two grandchildren: a grandson, Dr. Ward Howard, and wife Kate, and a granddaughter, Lauren Faith Howard. Heartfelt thanks to Dr. Rupali Roy Bhave, Clegg’s oncologist, for her exceptional care and for the remark-able compassion and concern of Nurse Practitioners Sar-ah Dralle and Megan Manuel. The entire team at Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist Comprehensive Cancer Center deserves our praise, including nurses, check-in staff, valet attendants, and volunteers. Clegg enjoyed the company of Don McBride and Danny Riddle, who accompanied him to several treatment appointments. Thanks also to Char-ity Billings at Amedisys Hospice for her compassionate care and support. The family was blessed by the skill and compassion of a team of home caregivers: Amanda, Tee, Jessica, Denise, Patsy, Scotti, Yasmine, Mercedes, Tana-sia, and Tee. The family will receive friends from 5-7 p.m. Friday, April 1 at Hayworth-Miller Silas Creek Chapel. A funeral service will be held at 1 p.m. Saturday, April 2 at Hanes Baptist Church on Sabrina Lake Road in Winston-Salem.

Local obituaries ONLINE www.ourdavie.com 10 - DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, March 31, 2022 Bless Your Spoon By Stephanie Williams Dean Having a chance to meet and eat with a favorite Chris-tian author was nothing less than a blessing. Gary Thomas delivered the goods – an abundance of soul food. Guests had arrived hungry – physically and spiritually. After partaking of our daily bread and word – we were filled to the brim. The kick-off to the weekend event began on Friday eve-ning. Christian couples gathered in a family life center to enjoy a flavorful meal and share in fellowship. One of the nine guests seated at my table blessed the food. When we took our seats – we were strangers. By the time dinner was over – we were broth-ers and sisters in Christ. Guests enjoyed a buffet of meat and cheese stuffed bundles of chicken with cream sauce, a col-orful rice pilaf chock full of veg-gies, bright green spears of fresh asparagus smothered in a lemon sauce, and a salad of mixed leafy greens tossed in a citrus dressing. In today’s recipes, I’ve giv-en you a few variations of the chicken entrée - I’m crazy about these stuffed bundles of rolled-up chicken. As for the sauces – each one is delicious over meat or veg-etable. Pick a favorite. Although already sufficiently satisfied, something sweet and filling followed. Dessert was a slice of luscious sour cream and cream cheese pie covered in strawberries. The meal was a mere snack compared to the deep dose of spiri-tual fulfillment we were about to receive. Gary opened Friday evening and Saturday morning discussions with prayer. Based on his book, “Sacred Mar-riage,” his seminar delivered words of wisdom that reso-nated within all relationships – not just marriage. His words were profound. Gary views marriage as the best school for personal transformation – because it allows one to see one-self and improve. And marriage is not supposed to be easy. And if one believes it should be easy – that belief will de-termine how satisfied one is in their marriage – or not. Marriage is an act of worship to our heavenly Father. It has little to do with sustained bliss but everything to do with surrendering. God’s agenda is not our temporary happiness – but one that makes us holy and joyful rather than happy. No one is truly happy who is not pursuing holiness. And one cannot have a healthy marriage unless they’re spiritu-ally healthy. Gary believes marriage can be a healthy, joy-ful, and worshipful place. His message was clear: seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness – make first a humble commitment to keep growing in holiness. During Lent, the period of transformation, let’s consider Jesus – he loved, healed, cared, served, and washed feet. We are not yet complete in who we’ve been called to be. Let’s resolve to act according to the way God wants us to out of reverence for Him – in all our relationships. Let’s reflect on the wisdom of Gary Thomas. Go and be filled to the brim – in holiness and with joy.

DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, March 31, 2022 - B1Sports By Brian PittsEnterprise Record Davie’s tennis team crushed Reynolds and East Forsyth, but its hopes for the first back-to-back regular-season championship seasons since 1976-77 took a hit at Reagan. The War Eagles, who are 6-2 in the Central Piedmont Conference, might’ve been in trouble in the chase for the crown at full strength, but injuries have taken a toll. Senior Cooper Smith (shoulder) was lost for the season in the first practice, and now Seth Hill is out indefinitely. “The loss of Seth is really going to show up as we go forward,” coach Shane Nixon said. “He is out ‘until further notice.’ Throw in the injury that took Cooper for the season and we are down two of what we thought would be our top six - and really two doubles teams. Guys have done a great job filling in, but everything we are doing needs to be seen through that context. It has been a tough year injury-wise.”Davie 8, Reynolds 1The War Eagles hammered visiting Reynolds for the ninth consecutive time on March 21. Burke Rosenbaum (6-1, 6-0), C Crenshaw (6-1, 6-2), Bryce Bailey (6-0, 6-1), Jack Williams (6-2, 6-0) and Aidan Froelich (6-3, 6-2) steamrolled in singles. Sweeping doubles were Rosenbaum/Cren-shaw 8-0, Bailey/Froelich 8-0 and Slade Keaton/Hayden Key 8-6. “This was a good win over a tough CPC opponent,” Nixon said. “Within the last 10 years, Reynolds has won two state cham-pionships. This team might not be that good, but playing Reynolds is not a cakewalk.”After losing the first set 6-4, S. Hill had to withdraw with a back injury. “He had felt it earlier, but he really tried to gut it out,” Nixon said. “I am proud of Seth. He really gave us an effort, but he just can’t play with his back and leg issues.”Reagan 6, Davie 3With S. Hill joining Smith on the injured list, visiting Davie crashed into a wall on March 22. Rosenbaum (6-1, 6-0) and Bai-ley (7-6, 6-7, 10-2) had the only wins in singles. Rosenbaum/Cren-shaw did their thing in doubles, 8-1, but it wasn’t nearly enough. “It was going to be hard enough to beat Reagan at what was our full strength after Coop went down,” Nixon said. “Then take Seth out of the picture and this was an uphill battle. Taking nothing from coach (Scott) Larson’s team - they beat us. No excuses.“We had a shot going into doubles, but just didn’t have the horses. All credit to Reagan. Coach Larson is spreading his guys out across doubles and has found a great formula.”Davie 9, EF 0The War Eagles picked up an easy road win on March 25. East forfeited twice in singles and once in doubles. “East rescheduled on a teacher work day for them, and they had a guy who was traveling with his parents on a long weekend,” Nix-on said. “They were also down a couple to a school field trip. We can’t help who the other team has or who they don’t have. We have to play the guys that are there. I was really proud of my guys.”Winners were Rosenbaum (6-2, 6-0), Crenshaw (6-3, 6-3), Bailey (6-0, 6-0), Rosenbaum/Crenshaw (8-1) and Bailey/Froelich (8-2). Froelich and Zach Hill received the forfeits in singles, and East forfeited to Z. Hill/Williams in doubles. Rosenbaum has been complete-ly unstoppable at No. 1. He’s 9-0 in singles and 8-0 in doubles while being teamed with Crenshaw. “Burke made his (Reagan) op-ponent look like a far worse player than he really is,” Nixon said. “Reagan’s No. 1 is an all-CPC player, but Burke is just playing at another level.“East’s No. 1 is probably the third-best player in our confer-ence. Burke didn’t have his best stuff and yet it is 6-2, 6-0. He has learned how to fight when he doesn’t have his best weapons. He is just so good.”At No. 2, Crenshaw (8-1) has whipped everyone except Reagan. “C gets the other team’s sec-ond-best player every time, and in our conference that means some really quality players,” Nixon said. “C is having a great year.”And then there’s the staggering improvement of Bailey, who is 9-0 Tennis team’s title hopes take a hit Please See Tennis - Page B4 By Brian PittsEnterprise Record There are times when it appears the Davie varsity softball team’s offense cannot be slowed, let alone stopped. One of the those times was the bottom of the first inning against visiting West Forsyth in a Central Piedmont Conference showdown on March 22. The War Eagles batted around and put up six runs. West pitcher Cate Etcheson contained Davie from there, but the damage had been done in a 7-5 Davie victory. The win kept Davie on East Forsyth’s heels. East is 4-0 in the CPC, Davie is next at 4-1 and West is third at 2-1. “It keeps us in the running (for a share of first),” assistant coach Fred Smith said. “Anything can happen. We’ve got to stay right behind East and we get one more crack at them.”Etcheson walked Bailey Snow and Summer Simpson to start the Davie first. Sydney Dirks made her pay with a two-run double. After McKenzie Mixon was hit by a pitch and Audrea Fowler singled, Leah Grimes provided the second two-run double of the inning. In the second, London Dirks blooped a two-out hit over the second baseman’s head to score Simpson and give Davie a whop-ping 7-0 lead. “We had a good game plan at the plate,” Smith said. “We were squeezing the inside of the plate. We were looking down and out and hitting everything backside. It was working and then they started jamming us inside. Then we start-ed hitting it off the handle. We had bases loaded twice and couldn’t capitalize.”Everything did not go perfectly. In the West fifth, the Titans came up with three hits and took advan-tage of two errors to claw within 7-4. They made things interesting in the seventh. A walk, a hit by pitch, an error and a single cut Davie’s lead to 7-5 and filled the bases for the No. 7 batter in the order. Addie Hendrix, Davie’s com-plete-game pitcher, induced an infield popup to nail down a win over Davie’s archrival. Another hurdle in life Softball wins key game; close to HR record By Brian PittsEnterprise Record The Davie varsity baseball team’s 17-15 loss to Watauga on March 2 was a big downer because Davie held an 11-2 lead before collapsing. A little over three weeks later, By Brian PittsEnterprise Record The magic and fun from the long winning streak - which in-cluded 11-10 and 5-4 wins over East Forsyth and Alexander Cen-tral, respectively - were gone last week for Davie’s JV baseball team. The two games against Reagan were dismal. Davie had twice as many errors (10) as hits (five) in the two games. Reagan 4, Davie 0The War Eagles came into the March 22 home game averaging 8.4 runs per game and riding a six-game winning streak, but they were smothered by Reagan pitcher Connor Berry, who went all seven innings and shoved a 3-hitter. The War Eagles’ poor defense added insult to injury. They made seven errors. “We had been hitting real well to make up for any errors,” said assistant coach Ty Woodring, who filled in for a sick Sam Wyrick. “We just couldn’t figure out their guy on the mound. The difference is they didn’t make a lot of errors and we did.”The War Eagles had only a few chances to make something happen against Berry, and on two occasions they were unlucky. With Ty Goodson and Carson Queen aboard with no outs in the first inning, Hunter Daywalt hit a soft fly between short and left. The left fielder made the catch and threw to second for a double play. “Ty was just trying to get a good jump so he could score from second,” Woodring said. “The guy made a good catch.”In the second, Larson Stem walked with two outs and Kason Stewart singled. But Berry coaxed a comebacker with runners at the corners to preserve his 1-0 lead. Stem opened the Davie fifth with a single, but Berry retired the next three. Queen started the sixth with a walk, but he was erased when Daywalt lined out to the first baseman, who stepped on the bag for a double play. “Right to the first baseman,” Woodring said. “If it gets by him, we’re sitting there with runners on second and third (with the score 3-0).”Queen (1-2, walk), Stem (1-1, two walks) and Stewart (1-2) had the Davie hits. Davie’s Connor Berg did all he could on the mound. He pitched a two-hitter for six innings, but left with nothing to show for it. All three runs off him were unearned. Daywalt pitched the final inning. Davie made two errors in the second, when Reagan scored its first run. In the third, two Davie errors were followed by a two-run double. In the seventh, a two-out error led to the final run. “Connor pitches with a lot of emotion,” Woodring said. “He got a little frustrated with the errors, but he would turn around and respond every single time. He would get into a little trouble or was forced into trouble because of errors, but he was able to get out of it.”Reagan 9, Davie 2The rematch in Pfafftown on March 25 was a dud. The War Eagles had two hits, three errors and watched Reagan break up a scoreless game in the third with seven runs. This time Davie (6-3) was shut down by Jackson Penfold, who pitched six innings and worked around four walks. Reagan’s huge third included five hits, two walks and an error. Davie’s hits came from Daywalt (1-3, RBI) and Hunter Shutt (1-1). Goodson and Craig McBride had two walks each. JVs can’t overcome errors in loss to Reagan Growing pains persist for Davie baseball the War Eagles suffered deja vu. They took a 13-8 lead into the seventh inning against Reagan. They wilted and lost 15-13. How weird is it to see a team score double-figure runs and lose? Well, it’s something you almost never see. From 1996-2021, the War Eagles were 114-3 when scoring 10-plus runs. After losing 15-14 to Myers Park in 1997, Davie reeled off 60 straight wins when its offense cracked double figures. After falling 14-10 to Orange in 2009, Davie won the next 53 games when it put up at least 10 runs. The third loss since 1996 was 12-10 in eight innings to East Forsyth in 2019. So after enduring three such losses in 26 years, Davie experienced two ab-solutely brutal setbacks in a span of 24 days.

Al-ways. Last year we jumped on them (4-0 in the first two innings), and then we stalled, they chipped away and came back and beat us (9-8). So when it was 6-0, I was preaching: ‘You cannot let up.’”Hendrix only allowed one earned run in her third complete game. Davie got two doubles from S. Dirks and two singles from Fowler to beat West for the third time in four tries. “Definitely a good win for us,” coach Debbie Evans said. “We did a good job at the plate early. Our defense and pitching was fairly sol-id. Addie was a workhorse. There are some tough teams in our conference, but I like our chances if we come focussed and swing the bats like we are capable.”Notes: Both teams had seven hits. Davie had three errors and West two. ... Last season Davie took two of After achieving two blowout wins in a row, Davie’s JV softball team couldn’t get hardly anything going in an 8-3 home loss to West Forsyth on March 22. Although the War Eagles drew 8 walks, they only managed 2 hits (1 from Hanna Steinour and Kayden Cornatzer). Key ... Anderson Beliveau, a freshman with immense promise, shot 3-over for the third straight match as Davie’s golf team competed against the rest of the Cen-tral Piedmont Conference at Pine Knolls on March 21. It wasn’t a good day overall for the War Eagles, who finished fifth out of six after taking fourth and third in the first two CPC outings. The CPC is so stout that The Davie boys lacrosse team picked up its second straight win when it raced past winless Glenn 13-2 in Kernersville on March 22. Camden Beck and Ryan Walton were the goal leaders with 3 and 2. Daniel Reich-ard, Kole Bilyeu, Ty Carter, Tyler Butler, Bryce Harns-berger, Wesley Brooks, Nick Ruff and Davin Kauserud had one each. Owen Horne led in as-sists with three, followed by Walton with two and Bilyeu with one. The War Eagles, how-ever, lost 14-4 at home to high-octane Reynolds (9-2 overall, 7-0 Central Pied-mont Conference) on March 25. The Demons were in control throughout as Davie slipped to 4-5 overall and 2-5 in the league. The goals came from Bilyeu, Sebastian Bello-mo, Reichard and Beck. Providing assists were Sam Warner, Alex Speckin and Walton. Girls LaxThe Davie girls got six goals from Sarah Rajacich and halted a five-game los-ing streak with a lopsided 20-8 decision at Glenn on March 22. Davie got multiple goals from Zoey Cleary (three), Grace Butler (two), Kinnah Chamberlain (two), Lilli Seats (two) and Lyndsay Harrison (two). Claire Bur-ris, Katie Freeland, Re-ese Tutterow and Cecily Fishel had one each as Davie dropped Glenn to 1-9-1, 0-6. Unfortunately, the War Eagles never had a chance to put back-to-back wins together because visiting Reynolds was relentless in a 20-2 wipeout on March 25. Cleary and Butler had the goals, with Butler reg-istering her team-high 16th. Davie fell to 2-7, 1-6. Lacrosse teams split CPC games Beliveau’s 39 was only good for 17th place, five off the pace. Davie’s other three scores came from sophomore Cooper Drum (41), junior Colby Moore (42) and sophomore Tripp Bradshaw (44). The team scores were Reynolds 5-under 139, Rea-gan 151, West Forsyth 155, Mt. Tabor 164, Davie 166 and East Forsyth 175. ••• Davie lost to Oak Grove and Reynolds in a noncon-ference meet at Meadow-lands on March 24. Moore and Drum led Da-vie with a pair of 1-over 36s. Beliveau (39) and Walker Jones (41) were next for Davie. The teams scores were extremely close. Oak Grove shot 9-over 149, Reynolds 151 and Davie 152. Golfer Beliveau starring as freshman three from West. Davie won 7-2 and 10-8. In between was a 9-8 West win. ... Davie overcame the absence of its top stick, Melanie Gobble, who was out sick. She was hitting .520 at this point. “She’s as steady as a rock,” Smith said. “Last year it was the same way.”Davie 19, Parkland 0The War Eagles thumped visiting Parkland in pre-dictable style on March 25, scoring 15 runs in the second and wrapping it up in two and a half innings. The War Eagles with two hits were Raelyn Lankford, Simpson, L. Dirks, Fowler and Grimes. L. Dirks dou-bled and homered as Davie extended its winning streak to three. In the circle, Hendrix and Kaylyn Nuckols combined for the shutout. Montour 16, Davie 10The War Eagles wasted a strong offensive day when they hosted the Montour Spartans of Pennsylvania on March 26. Davie slammed three home runs and blended nine hits with five walks. But it faced an opponent that had even more firepower. The Spartans racked up 17 hits, blasted three homers of their own and scored in four consecutive at-bats. It didn’t help that Davie made six errors (Montour commit-ted four.)“They had some hitters, but we did have some errors that hurt us,” Evans said. Davie trailed 9-1 before it made serious offensive noise. In the fifth, Simpson connected for a three-run homer. S. Dirks and L. Dirks immediately followed with home runs. Yes, you read that correctly. Davie went yard three straight times, in a span of seven pitches. But the Davie momen-tum was short-lived. In the top of the sixth, Montour banged out seven runs on five hits and put Davie away, 16-6. The Nos. 2-4 batters in the order - Simpson (2-3), S. Dirks (2-4) and L. Dirks (2-4) - combined for six hits, five runs, seven RBIs and four extra-base hits. But Montour’s Kaitlyn Molito-ris, who threw 136 pitches, was able to keep the rest of the lineup relatively quiet as Davie’s overall record dropped to 7-5. Notes• Davie’s offense has been firing virtually all sea-son. It is hitting .408 with 16 homers, 12 from the season record for long balls. L. Dirks, Fowler and Simpson have three homers each; S. Dirks, Grimes and Mixon have two apiece; and Ash-ley Bledsoe has one. The record of 28 happened in 2017, when Ferguson (10), Desiree Lewis (six) and Makenzie Smith (five) led the homer barrage. • After Davie tore through Reagan 15-3 on March 15, the War Eagles were 179-3 when scoring 10-plus runs since the beginning of fast-pitch in 1997. The three losses: 17-10 at Mt. Tabor in 1997, 13-12 at East Da- vidson in 2013 and 18-11 at South Iredell in 2018. Due to some defensive woes, Da-vie suffered two such losses in a span of 10 days - 14-12 to North Davidson and the Montour game. • Although Davie’s lon-gest winning streak is three, it has continuously bounced back, going 4-0 right after a loss. Davie (2-3) did get on the board first in the first - with help from West’s pitcher. After Cora Nicholson and Delaney Parsons walked, Parsons scored on a passed ball. West surged to a 4-1 lead, but Davie got one back in the fourth. Brayden Brooks (walk) and Cornatzer (sin- gle) reached before Tytiana Norris plated Brooks with a groundout. Davie’s hopes were squashed in the fifth. A 4-run West rally started with a double. Then came 3 errors wrapped around a walk. Nicholson, Parsons and Ashley Smith took 6 of the eight walks.

Wildlife Resources Commission stocked hun-dreds of thousands of fish in around 1,000 miles of streams and lakes in north-western and western North Carolina. Fish, reared and raised at three hatcheries in the mountains, will aver-age around 10 inches long. About 80% will be either rainbow or brook trout, the remainder being brown trout, which are more diffi-cult to raise in the hatchery.Seven fish can be caught per day, with no size min-imum and no bait or lure restrictions.Hatchery supported streams are marked by green and white signs that separate them from wild trout waters or delayed-har-vest waters, which are man-aged using different regula-tions.Youth turkey season will open 30 minutes be-fore sunrise on April 2 and last through April 8, with the statewide season for all hunters opening April 9 and running through May 7.The youth season is open to any hunters under By Dan Kibler North Carolina hunters set a record of 23,431 turkeys in 2020 and followed that up with a harvest of 21,974 birds in 2021. - Photo by Dan Kibler Nate Quan of Mount Pleasant displays a 4.14-pound black crappie at High Rock Lake March 18. - Photo courtesy Nate Quan age 18. Hunters ages 16 and 17 must have licens-es; hunters under age 16 must be accompanied by a licensed adult if they don’t have a license.North Carolina hunters have had the two best sea-sons in history the past two years. They set a record of 23,431 birds in 2020 and followed with a harvest of 21,974 birds in 2021. Last season, hunters in five counties harvested bet-ter than 500 birds: Duplin with 780, Pender with 583, Bladen 526, Halifax 519 and Columbus 513.Chris Kreh of Elkin, assistant chief of the Com-mission’s Division of Wildlife Management and formerly the upland game bird biologist, believes the statewide flock will contin-ue to grow despite the two record-setting harvests.“Our agency has safe-guards in place to ensure that overharvest does not occur,” he said. “Five weeks of hunting is con-servative compared to most states,” and hunters can take only two bearded birds per season.Also, North Carolina’s statewide season opens later than seasons in most Southeastern states, allow-ing for a lot of hen turkeys to be bred before their male companions face any hunt-ing pressure.“The season dates offer considerable opportunity for breeding before males are harvested,” he said. “Hens are able to nest and raise poults as they always do.” Angler pulls in huge High Rock crappieA Cabarrus County angler has caught one of the biggest black crappie caught in North Carolina in recent years: a 4.14-pound monster caught out of High Rock Lake on Friday, March 18.Nate Quan of Mount Pleasant boated the enor-mous fish at around 9 a.m. while fishing on the first day of the two-day Cen-tral Carolina Crappie Clas-sic. He and his partner, Jordan Newsome of Iron Station – who had caught a 3.27-pound crappie 30 minutes earlier – wound up winning the tournament and a total of $2,048 in prize money.“When Jordan caught the 3.27, I told him, ‘You’re outdone any fish I’ve ever caught. I’ll never catch a fish like that,’” Quan said. “And he said I might catch one that day.“About an hour later, I caught the 4.14, and he said, ‘I told you.’”Quan’s fish hit a black/chartreuse Slider minnow on a Eye Hold jighead. He was fishing a B’n’M Diamond series rod and 5-pound K-9 crappie braid line. The fish was holding in about 2 feet of water in the Yadkin River section of the lake upstream from the I-85 bridge near Spencer.Interested fishermen can see Quan’s huge crappie – and Newsome’s crappie, too – with a visit to Bass Pro Shops in Concord. Quan and Newsome, who have done crappie-fishing seminars at Bass Pro Shops, kept the fish alive and ar-ranged to donate them to the store’s aquarium.North Carolina’s state-record black crap-pie is a 4-pound, 15-ounce specimen caught out of Asheboro’s City Lake No. 4 in 1980 by Dean Dixon.

After digging a 2-0 hole in the first half, freshman Sarah Andrade picked a great time for her first high school goal. The assist from Mya McGowan got Davie back in the game. But Reynolds put the hammer down after that. “Like I told the girls, we have to control what we can control,” Kopetzky said. “We played very well. We deserved a better outcome than what we had. We look forward to playing them next time.”The tough week contin-ued against visiting East Forsyth on March 24. Davie lost 3-1. “We’ve just got to learn and grow from this,” Kope-tzky said. Notes: Andrade’s goal was Davie’s first against Reynolds in six meetings. ... Reynolds (2-4 overall) came alive after scoring just two goals in its first five games. ... East improved to 2-0 in the CPC. ... Lexi Kulis scored against East, giving the junior a team-high six goals. where they were Day One to where they are now, you can tell they want to get better. They’ve done everything we’ve asked of them.”The one goal was a little bit of a fluke, according to Kopetzky. “They kicked a corner and we bumped it into the goal for an own goal,” he said. “That was very un-fortunate. Minus that, we played a really good game.”Sophomore Sophia Heagle came up big at goalie, and freshman Cady Minns played a strong game at forward.“Sophia was goalie the whole game,” he said. “She made some really good stops. Cady is fairly new to the sport, but she’s very aggressive and played a very good game.” JVs hang with Reynolds Above, sophomore Tru Koren of Davie’s varsity soccer team takes a shot.

Nixon beamed at Williams’ dominating win against East. “Jack stepped up a spot (to No. 4) and wasn’t fazed,” he said. “He still has room for growth, to be sure, but he is playing really well in spurts. I’m proud of him.” Tennis ... Continued From Page B1tough pills the War Ea-gles have had to swallow. They’re 2-5 in games de-cided by one or two runs. They’ve dropped five straight and the last three have been two-run margins. “We have to get better because we keep giving away wins,” coach Joey Anderson said after Davie slumped to 3-7 overall and 2-4 in the Central Piedmont Conference. “We keep al-lowing teams to breathe. With us being young, we have to be able to do the little things and not make errors.“We put them in circum-stances throughout practice, and they’re doing the right things in practice. When it comes time to do it in the Pains ... game, we’re not doing it.”Reagan 2, Davie 0It was no shock that Bayden Hazlip pitched a heck of a game when Davie traveled to Pfafftown on March 22. Unfortunately for the senior lefty, he didn’t get any run support for his second outing in a row. He gave up five hits and two walks, navigating six innings in 73 pitches. He has a 2.10 ERA and he tossed his second complete game in four starts. But his record is 2-2. “Man, he’s pitched great so far,” Anderson said. “I don’t know what else to say. He’s been phenomenal. He’s gone right at people. He’s made pitches when he’s had to make pitches. He has hit his spots. He doesn’t shy away from people. I think he got away from that a little bit last year, and that’s one thing he’s doing a lot better this year. He’s solidifying himself as one of the best pitchers in the conference.”Reagan scored its first run in the second. After a pair of singles, Hazlip issued a two-out walk. (It was - get this - his first walk of the year across 18 innings.) He walked the next man as well to force in the run. In the fifth, Reagan sand-wiched two hits around a sac bunt to push the margin to 2-0. Davie’s best chance to get on the board was the sixth, when Coy James sin-gled on a fullcount and advanced on a Ty Miller bunt. But junior Levi Strahm retired the next two to pre-serve his complete-game shutout. Strahm finished with a four-hitter and zero walks. “It’s like we’re doing one or the other,” Anderson said. “We’re either playing defense real well and we’re not stringing hits together. Or we’re hitting the ball well and not making plays in the field. Our defense was solid at Reagan.”Notes: Davie’s other three hits came from Miller, Davin Whitaker and Daniel Lawson. ... The Raiders’ fifth straight win lifted them to 6-3 overall and 4-1 in the CPC. ... Reagan beat Davie for the fourth straight time. Reagan 15, Davie 13This marathon game at Davie on March 25 left a gloomy feeling around the War Eagles, who jumped to a 6-0 lead before holding the 13-8 advantage. “When we have a chance to put away somebody, we have to do it,” Anderson said. The War Eagles stunned Reagan in the bottom of the first. James and Park-er Aderhold had singles. Mixed in were five walks and an error in James’ sec-ond at-bat of the inning. The result was the 6-0 lead. Reagan stormed back with a five-run third. Three errors preceded Noah Quar-less’ three-run homer. “Other teams in the CPC aren’t going to lay down and die,” Anderson said. “As coaches, we have to some-how teach these boys how to get a killer instinct and finish what they started.”Davie pushed across two in the fourth, when Davin Whitaker singled, Jackson Sink reached on an error, Aderhold walked and Wes-ley Mason singled. It was Reagan’s turn to rally in the sixth. Two walks led to a two-run double by Carter Boyd, who ambushed the first pitch and tied the game at 8. “There was only one call that I second-guessed myself on,” Anderson said. “That was (Boyd’s double) when we were up 8-6. I had just got it out of my mouth to Ross (Hoffner) that we need to put him on right here. He ended up swinging first pitch and hitting it down the third-base line.”It looked as if Davie was going to survive the slugfest when it put up five runs in the sixth. Drew Krouse, Parker Simmons and James had consecutive hits before Miller’s squeeze bunt plated Davie’s final run. “We did everything we needed to in the sixth to put them away,” Anderson said. But it was not to be. In the top of the seventh, Rea-gan erupted for seven runs, the final three on Boyd’s homer, capping a five-RBI night for the cleanup man. In Davie’s final at-bat, Lawson and Mason had walks and both advanced into scoring position on a passed ball. The tying run was at second with two out, but a strikeout ended the game. “We’re playing not to lose instead of playing to win,” he said. “We have to somehow gain that con-fidence. If we can pull out some of these and get on a run, they’re going to realize how good a team they really are. Our record definitely doesn’t show how good we could be. They have to believe in themselves. Hopefully before long they figure that out.”Davie got multiple hits from James (2-5, double) and Aderhold (2-4, walk), while Mason reached four times. Notes: Reagan had 12 hits to Davie’s nine. Davie had four errors and Reagan three. ... Both teams used four pitchers. Davie’s starter was Jaydon Holder, who was pulled after 4.1 innings. “Jaydon had a blister on his foot, so he had to come out,” Anderson said. ... Davie’s team batting average is only .253. The top two hitters are Lawson (.380, 8-21) and James (.333, 12-36). ... Anderson said there’s time to right the ship. “We still have half a season left and we’re going to do every-thing we possibly can to turn it around,” he said. ... Ander-son wants to honor Davie’s rich baseball history, so he’s going to hold Alumni Night on Friday when Mt. Tabor visits at 6 p.m. “We would love to have alumni baseball players here,” he said.

After Marshall slammed a three-run homer, he was walked three times. Blake French (triple) and Bracken Byington had two hits each as the Wildcats raced to a 7-1 lead by the end of the second inning. Ty Sain and Watauga hands North Davie first baseball loss Hayden Potts each knocked in two runs. The winning pitcher was Josh Whitaker, who struck out five and only allowed two hits in four innings. After Wilson dominated the fifth and sixth, Noah Potts struck out two in a scoreless seventh. “Josh had good com-mand of his fastball and mixed up pitches well,” coach Trevor Gooch said. Not only did Marshall go yard, he flashed the leather at third. “Brady made some defensive gems,” Gooch said. ND 10, Wesleyan 0One day later, Marshall showed another facet of his skill set, starting on the mound and striking out sev-en in three one-hit innings. Ian Patton and Jacob Mor-gan followed with one relief inning each as North pun-ished Wesleyan Christian Academy in five innings. “Brady was dominant,” Gooch said. “He had a lively fastball as well as a mixture of offspeed pitches.”Tanner Steinour (triple), Braxton Hunter (three RBIs) and Marshall had one hit each as North remained undefeated through five games. Second baseman Nathan Nuckols was the de-fensive player of the game, Gooch said. Watauga 17, ND 11North’s bid for an unde-feated season was ruined at Watauga on March 25. The hosts scored in five of six at-bats and dropped the Wildcats to 4-1-1. Potts was the only North pitcher out of five to keep Watauga off the scoreboard as he struck out the side in the sixth. North rallied to tie the score at 3 in the top of the third, but Watauga broke it wide open by scoring seven in the bottom half. Give the Wildcats credit for not quitting. Down 14-4 in the fifth and in danger of getting run-ruled, they came charging back within strik-ing distance with seven runs. Watauga, though, responded with three in the bottom of the inning. “Watauga hit the ball well,” Gooch said. “I was really proud of the way our guys fought back to extend the game.”French (3-4, triple, two RBIs) paced the North at-tack. Marshall (2-4, double, three RBIs) and Byington (2-3) had two hits each. Gooch added that By-ington “was the defensive standout with some nice catches in left field.” 113 Marketplace Drive, Mocksville, NC 27028www.mocksvillefamilydentistry.com (336) 753-6630 CALL NOW FOR AN APPOINTMENT 1328851No Insurance?
