As a high school student with no work experience, she thought it was important to gain some before graduating. An internship gives students a chance to figure out what they might want to do. It also allows them to establish connections that may serve as potential re-sources or references. This fall, Fearrington plans to study video editing at Da-vidson-Davie Community Col-lege through the Ignite Davie College Promise program. Cam Beck is interning at the Davie Family YMCA. He will attend NC State this fall and plans to major in sports man-agement. He hopes to own a gym someday and appreciates the opportunity to learn the dif-ferent aspects of the business. “It’s been a good opportuni-ty to learn the basics of busi-ness and health, wellness, and working out. Getting to learn all of these things has con-firmed that this is what I want to do. I enjoy going to work and learning the things I will need to know to thrive. An in-ternship is definitely helpful; you get to learn, earn credit, and gain experience.” Alyse Wooldridge, Davie High’s new career develop-ment coordinator (CDC), agrees, knowing firsthand the positive impact an internship can have on shaping future ca-reers. While a student at Davie High, she interned in Sheila Tribble’s business education Alyse Wooldridge is working at Davie High, trying to match students with internships at local businesses. Internships giving students a look into the job world classroom at South Davie, which led to her own career in education. She taught business classes at the high school for 13 years before transitioning into the CDC position in July 2021, following Janet Barnes’ retirement in December 2020. A passion for work-based learning topped her reasons for taking the new job. “As a student, I found the importance of work-based learning and knew that with the CDC position, I would have the opportunity to help stu-dents determine career goals, match them with internships, and help make the whole world of education come together for the final outcome,” she said. “Being in the classroom, I already knew many of the students and what they want-ed to do.

Box 99, Mocksville, NC 27028 Cooleemee Journal 1901-1971 What’s ahead for UM churches? To the editor:Local United Methodist Churches are facing issues of a magnitude never before encountered in the denomina-tion. Questions pertaining to human sexuality have been debated for years. In 2019 the General Conference (the UMC governing body, hereafter “GC”) attempted to re-solve those issues by deciding to retain its traditional view (the Traditional Plan) and policies on that issue. Not every-one agreed and in 2019 the Western North Carolina Annual Conference (hereafter WNCAC) voted to reject the Tradi-tional Plan in defiance of the General Conference decision.The dissension among the Methodists on numerous is-sues has driven local churches to consider disaffiliating from the United Methodist Church. In 2022, there are 21 churches in the WNCAC seeking to leave the United Meth-odist Church. A major obstacle is John Wesley’s structure of all local church property being held in trust for UMC.At the present there are other denominations courting disheartened United Methodists, including groups known at the Global Methodist Church and the Wesleyan Cove-nant Association. Unfortunately, there is also a lot of misin-formation out there due to the policy of the UMC, the local Conferences and delegates not to discuss the issues with their congregations. Also, a lot of the information provided by new denominations is misleading and cannot be relied upon. The main concern of local churches is how to retain their property without paying for it again. A major concern of the UMC is to replenish a deficit in its Pension Fund that will be further eroded by the loss of revenue from disaf-filiating churches. There are only two methods for a local church to get out of the UMC: a. Close and all its property reverts to the United Meth-odist Church; or b. Disaffiliate from the UMC pursuant to a procedure (called Section 2553) adopted by the UMC in 2019. This procedure expires Dec. 31,2023.The disaffiliation procedure requires a formal church conference, a two-thirds vote on narrow issues involving human sexuality, approval by the WNCAC and payment of that church’s apportionment and share of the unfunded pension. For most churches the disaffiliation payment to the UMC equals about 8.5 times its annual apportionment. The amount of the disaffiliation payment varies with the performance of the UMC Pension Fund investments in the stock market.The payment releases the UMC’s claims to the property of the local church.Local Methodists have been advised to wait and see what the GC will do. The hope is that the UMC will later let local churches out of the conference without any pay-ment. The 2022 session of the GC has been postponed until 2024 so no other favorable exit strategies exist. The pro-posal to split the church (the Protocol) is off the table for at least two more years. While other denominations have solicited local Methodist congregations to join them and imply no payment will be required, there is no legal way for a local church to join another denomination without first disaffiliating.Any local Methodist Church seeking to get out of the United Methodist Church must take immediate action. The disaffiliation process takes about six months and the request must be approved by the Annual Conference that meets each June. Therefore, any requests to disaffiliate must be submitted to the 2023 Annual Conference by its deadline of April 1, 2023. Waiting and seeing will be too little too late. Grady L. McClamrock Jr. Mocksville To the editor:Now that MSNBC’s Chuck Todd has predicted a mid-term “shellacking” for the Democrats due to what his poll-ing information shows, the plethora of excuses are starting to flow from everywhere. Of course most blame Russian leader Vladimir Putin, but as polling shows, the majority of Americans know the problems start and end with the Democrats and President Biden.To recap some of their problems, Covid tests ran out be-fore Christmas. The pullout from Afghanistan was totally bungled. The administration took over a country that was oil independent, immediately cancelled the pipeline and leases and now has seen gas go from $2 to $4.Wrongly draining our oil reserves by a million barrels a day, not only depletes our strategic reserves but only drops the price of gas by .35 per gallon. The answer is and has been to allow more drilling.As Chuck Todd said, reality is setting in. America has realized Democrats have messed with our law enforcement, our education, our families and now our money. Every day the White House has to correct Joe Biden ‘mis-speaks’, so we have a president who can’t give us straight facts. And with him in office inflation has spiked to 7.9%. Trouble brews because in the all-important independent voter poll-ing number, 74% disapprove of the way President Biden is handling inflation.Yes, there is a walloping coming in November.John Nelms, Advance A ‘wallaping’ coming for Democrats To the editor:In this letter, I’m going to attempt to put into words the character of Mr. Eric Farr. You might already know that Eric has experience in law by being in private practice, serving as a magistrate, and as an assistant district attorney. However, I would like to share a skillset he possesses that’s rarely seen by the gen-eral public. That skillset is handling situations with people when they’ve had a really bad day, quite possibly their worst day ever. More on that later. I have worked with Eric, in his official capacity as a magistrate, for over 7 years. It was recently said that all Eric ever did as a magistrate is perform marriages and han-dle some small claims cases. That statement is part of what motivated me to write this letter. I believe performing mar-riage ceremonies is one of the greatest honors a magistrate can do, but there’s more to the job. I remember the first time I brought an impaired driver before Eric and presented my case. This case stands out in my mind because I felt like I was on trial myself, for he made sure that I had done my job appropriately. He maintains that scrutiny today, which is a quality you must have as a District Court Judge. On several occasions I called Eric in the middle of the night after arresting an impaired driver, and he would make his way to the jail from his home in Farmington. Never once did he complain or show up late, even when it was a holi-day, or if the weather was bad. Sometimes I would be ex-hausted from being cursed at for a solid hour by a person that was in-custody. When that same person would see the magistrate, Eric Farr, they would usually quiet down and show some respect, which was a sigh of relief for me. However, this was not always the case. Occasionally they would test Eric, and he would have to exercise his authority as a magistrate. The authority he demonstrated was always fair and impartial. Those situations made me appreciate the character and integrity of Eric. On a lighter note, most all the in-custody people men-tioned above go home, live normal lives, and try to do bet-ter. This “try to do better” attitude reminds me of the time I was presented with a note of encouragement by Eric. This note was a folded white piece of printer paper, with a draw-ing in Crayon of a police officer or something similar, and it simply said: “praying for you”. Come to find out the kids from the Sunday school class he teaches had written sev-eral of the letters and presented them to law enforcement officers in the community. The letter meant a lot to me, and I kept it for a long time. How many of you reading this teach a Sunday school class or serve your community in any capacity? The purpose of sharing this story, and sug-gesting this challenge to you and me, is to demonstrate how Eric sets the bar high on how to serve your community and compels us to realize that we can all do better. In closing, I ask you to consider carefully and prayer-fully who you’re going to vote for as District Court Judge. Personally, I’m going to vote for someone who I know considers all the people in the community; from our younger generations, to the adults who have just experi-enced one of their worst days. I recommend Eric Farr for District Court Judge.Kevin Leonard, MocksvilleLaw Enforcement Officer Eric Farr always fair and impartial God WinksBy Stephanie Williams DeanLately, God’s been winking at me. You might ask how that happens – referred to as getting a God wink. We go about our days, deciding when to get up, what to eat, how we spend our day, choosing which turn to take on the road, deciphering what to do next, or where to focus our next efforts. How many choices do you think we have on any given day? I’m sure it’s many. We might not even recog-nize them as choices – but they are. And then we get a little help in our decision-making process – because God gives us a clue, nod, or wink. Simply put, He lets us know we’re on the right track. God makes it clear – with a Godly wink. Now, this gift can come in many ways. But what’s most important is getting prepared to receive it and how we interpret it. But how do we know what to do with a God wink – when we don’t even recognize it as such? Many discount the wink as a coincidence or merely good luck. But not hardly.People are on the move every day. They rush around, don’t slow down, never stop to smell the roses, and speed through life – then wonder why they need those anxiety pills. Slow down, folks. Don’t let life run away with you Please See Renegade ‑ Page 3 The sun peeked over the horizon, revealing the most beautiful Carolina Blue sky.It gleamed. One could envision a chorus of angels tak-ing flight, their melodies as comforting as grandmother’s blanket on a cold winter night, the sun glistening against their snow-white forms.It was this morning. In North Carolina.For those of us fortunate enough to have lived here for a few decades or more, it’s just another day to enjoy what has been handed down before our very eyes. It’s here every day. We just have to notice it.We’re in North Carolina.The Tar Heel state.Pretty fancy introduction for a column about sports, huh?For the first college basketball season in as long as I can remember, I decided to pull for the UNC Tar Heels this year. Over the years, my disdain for anything related to UNC basketball has dwindled. I guess we soften as we get older.First, the disdain.I’m not even sure of the names of the players any more, I’m going from memory here. But it was 1969 and Carolina was playing Davidson in the NCAA tourna-ment. It was Charlie Scott, I think, who hit a last-second desparation shot that beat Davidson - tiny Davidson. This 12-year-old country boy from Davie County had already decided he was going to be the next Pistol Pete Marav-ich and play basketball for Lefty Driesell at Davidson. I worked daily to achieve that dream - right down the the Keds and floppy socks. Practicing basketball on an out-door goal was given, regardless of the weather.Remember those days - when you had more dreams than worries?And since that shot back in the 1969 tournament, I started to hate Carolina basketball. No other reason. I learned to hate that color of blue. I learned to hate their style of getting a big lead and then stalling, what I would call turning it from a game of basketball into a game of keep away. I would pull for the Russians over Carolina. It was that bad.But then my favorite sister - I should be careful using the word favorite (Is she the one who reads my column every week or is it the other one?) - went to school there. I had friends who went to school there. I met new friends who went to school there. I had plenty of co-workers who went to school there. It turns out that there was nothing wrong with these people other than their mis-guided views about college basketball.Although I was an ABC (Anybody But Carolina) fan, I really never had a favorite school. I’m not a big fan of any ACC team. I pick a new favorite yearly. It’s been Virginia. It’s been N.C. State. It’s been Georgia Tech. It’s been Florida State. But never Carolina.Until this year.There’s just something about that bunch that makes you like them. They were unpredictable and scrappy. They looked like they didn’t belong one minute, like they owned the sport the next. It was the right group of players coming together at the right time. And if anyone ever really bleeds Carolina Blue, it’s Hubert Davis, their coach. We’ll see if that becomes his curse or his might. How long does it take for a Carolina coach make his players bleed that special color of blue?Yes, sports is somewhat like life. Look beyond what you think you hate, and find something worthwhile - something you can enjoy.Thanks for taking us all along for the ride, guys.- Mike Barnhardt Out of the closet: Hubert Davis & Co. gets to even the most die-hard ABC fans DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, April 7, 2022 - 3 Presidential sites By Betty Etchison WestFor the Enterprise There are sites in North Carolina and Tennessee connected to the 17th Pres-ident of the United States, Andrew Johnson. Johnson, a Democrat, was chosen by Republican Abraham Lincoln to run with him as Vice President as he sought a second term. Lincoln chose Johnson because he was the only Southern senator who did not resign from his Sen-ate seat when the Sothern states began to secede. Soon after Abraham Lincoln and Andrew John-son won the election, Pres-ident Lincoln was killed by an assassin’s bullet. Vice President Andrew Johnson became President in 1865, even though he was poorly prepared for the position. Johnson served as Presi-dent until 1869.Andrew Johnson was born in Raleigh. A visit sev-eral years ago to the home where Andrew Johnson was born revealed a house which had been reconstruct-ed and looked good on the outside. It was locked, but a person in a nearby building opened the house. Inside, there was dirt, spider webs, and junk—a terrible mess. A call was made to the Raleigh Chamber of Com-merce to complain because it seemed that the condi-tion of Andrew Johnson’s birthplace was a disgrace to the state, and it seemed disrespectful to a man who had served President of the United States. The people at the Chamber said that they had no control over the property because it was under the control of Mor-decai Historic Park. A call was made to Mordecai His-toric Park, but there was no feedback. However, a visit to the house some years later resulted in a pleas-ant surprise. The property had been cleaned up and had been set up as a tailor shop.” That seems to be the condition of the property today. Tennessee has seemed to show more pride in Pres-ident Andrew Johnson than North Carolina, but, after all, Johnson was a resident of that state for much more of his life than he was of North Carolina.When Johnson was a teenager he moved to Ten-nessee taking his mother and only brother with him. Andrew had learned enough while he was apprenticed to a tailor to be able to set up his own shop. He was evidently quite good at his trade and actually became fairly prosperous. Andrew married a teenage girl, Eli-za McArdle, who had some education. Andrew had no formal education and it is said that his wife taught him the three rs-“readin’, writin’, and ‘rithmetic.” She continued to work on his education as he sat at his sewing machine. If you travel 179.1 miles from Mocksville to Greeneville, Tenn., you can see Mr. Johnson’s Tailor Shop. His shop is part of the Andrew Johnson National Historic Site set up in 1906. As Andrew Johnson be-came more prosperous and had more free time, he got interested in local political issues. He actually began to make speeches on subjects about which he was inter-ested or concerned. He was good at public speaking—he was able to get and hold the attention of his audienc-es. Johnson was elected to local, then state, and finally national offices. He served in the U.S.House of Repre-sentative and the Senate. In between, he served as Gov-ernor of Tennessee. Johnson was able to build or buy a large house in Greeneville. A visit to that house, which is fairly large is interesting because it still has the furnishings that were there when the Johnsons lived there. An-drew Johnson’s hat and vest are laying on his bed. His razor is on the wash-stand, and, on a table is a horseshoe that he used as a paper weight. In the parlor, you will see a ivory basket that the Johnsons received from Queen Emma of the Ha-waiian Islands and a fruit basket which was from a group of Philadelphia school children. There is also furniture there that the Johnsons used at the White House. The bedrooms are also open to visitors. One of the most interesting rooms is the kitchen which is on a lower floor. Some of the interesting items there: a cast-iron stove, a wooden mallet used to beat biscuits, and a meal or flour chest. This is the home that Eliza Johnson loved. She nev-er wanted to move to the White House, but did so because she thought that it was her duty to support her husband, the President. Mrs. Johnson spent most of the time that her husband served as President in the upstairs family quarters. The Johnsons’ daughter carried out the First Lady duties. Mrs. Johnson had tuberculosis and really was not able to carry out those duties. What she did do was provide strong support for her husband particular-ly when he was impeached. As the impeachment tri-al in the Senate when on, Eliza Johnson continued to believe that her husband would be acquitted. When the trial was over and John-son was saved by one vote, Eliza Johnson said, “I knew it!” At the end of the term, Johnson was not chosen to be the presidential can-didate of his Democratic Party. The day they left Washington for their home to Tennessee, was the hap-piest day that Eliza Johnson was had since she moved to the White House. She is quoted by historian Wil-liam Henry Crook as say-ing: “I do not like this pub-lic life at all. I often wish that time would come when we could return to where I feel we best belong.” Mrs. Johnson so hoped that her husband would be content to just live at their Tennes-see home, but they was not the case. He ran again for the Senate. After failing to be elected a time or two, he was finally elected to serve as a U.S. Senator. After serving in the Senate for a few months, Andrew John-son died on July 31, 1875. His body was brought back to Greeneville. Andrew Johnson was buried warped in an American flag with a copy of the Constitution of the United States under his head. He was buried in the cemetery, which in 1906 was named the Andrew Johnson National Ceme-tery. Eliza Johnson died on Jan. 15, 1876, less than a year after the death of her husband. She is buried beside her husband in the Andrew Johnson National Cemetery.The Andrew Johnson National Cemetery, John-son’s Tailor Shop and his home are all part of the Andrew Johnson National Historic Site, which is ad-ministered by the National Park Service. The hours when the buildings are open are a bit irregular so a person planning to visit the historic sites in Greeneville should call 423 638 3551.

One has to get to a quiet, calm place in your life where you realize that God’s speaking to you – maybe not verbally – but through little nudges from the Holy Spirit within or a full-fledged, unmistakable wink. He’s saying, “I’m right here with you on this one!”Recently, I saw these beautifully decorated, small, res-urrection cross cookies on the internet. I vowed right then to hunt for a cross cookie cutter. A few days later, a friend and I headed up to Mt Airy for a day trip. On our final stop at an antique store, I mentioned to her that I wanted to find a cross cookie cutter. A few minutes later, she came up to me with her hand balled in a fist. She held her arm out to me and uncurled her fingers. An old, tin, cross cookie cutter was right in the middle of her palm! You could have knocked me over with a feather! God Wink! It hadn’t been 5 minutes since those very words left my mouth. Now I’ve done a lot of antique shopping in my lifetime. You might think it’s a coincidence, but I’ve NEVER run across a cookie cutter in the form of a cross. God wanted that cross for me. And He saw to it that I got one. Why? Because he wanted me to bake those cross cookies and share them. And along with the cookies – He wanted me to share the Gospel. The Gospel’s the story of the greatest gift we’ve ever received – our salvation through the resurrection of His son, Jesus Christ. And He wanted me to share this message with you readers, too. God gives us everything we need on this earth. And He gives us the peace and blessed assurance that there’s a life awaiting us after this one. And that cross – that’s what it represents to each and every one of us. So slow down, be still, be present in the moment, smell the spring flowers, and recognize God’s winks in your own life – then wait and discern what it means. Now is the time. Wise AdviceBy Linda H. BarnetteWhen asked what advice she would give to young peo-ple, Supreme Court nominee Brown said,” I would tell them to persevere.”Although my dad would not have used that particular Renegade ... word, that sentence reminded me of something he said when I was a freshman at Catawba College in 1959.My parents had one major goal for me, and that was for me to go to college, an opportunity they did not have. They both worked hard for years to save money for that purpose. They also gave me other opportunities, such as music lessons, among others. To help out, I worked at the dime store uptown on Saturdays and during summer vacations and saved my money for school.In September of 1959, they took me to Zartman Hall on the Catawba campus for what was to be the beginning of a new adventure. Things were strict in those days, espe-cially the rules about leaving campus. Freshmen were not allowed to go home for the first 6 weeks of school, and I remember being very homesick and overwhelmed by my new lifestyle.When I was finally able to come home for a weekend, it was wonderful—until Sunday afternoon when the time came to go back. I was distraught and did not want to go back. However, thanks to some wise advice from Daddy, I did. He told me if I chose not to go back to Catawba that he felt sure I could get my old job at the dime store back!!!.All of these years later I still remember those words and how wise he was to tell me what he did. He was telling me to persevere and give college a chance. I have always been happy that I did!! HopeBy E. Bishop There are so many days throughout the year set aside for celebrating or commemorating various things. Some are fun days like April Fool’s Day and Halloween; some you had rather forget but can’t like “Tax Day,” and some outrank others in their importance such as Christmas and Easter, but some are bound to be overlooked. A couple of easily excluded days in April might include the National Kiss of Hope Day (April 30), National Volunteer Week (April 17-23), and National Hope Day (April 6). Maybe this will be a reminder.Hope, like a gleaming taper’s light, Adorns and cheers the way; And still, as darker grows the night, Emits a brighter ray. by Oliver Goldsmith Hope is known to be something to help us get through our darkest days. There’s always a chance that something better is going to come our way, God willing. It is in our nature to keep hoping against all odds. As Alexander Pope (Essay of Man) states “Hope springs eternal.” April was designated as the National Month of Hope and the US Day of Hope is held on the first Wednesday in April each year. It is celebrated in conjunction with the National Child Abuse Prevention Month and started as a campaign by a non-profit group called Mothers in Cri-sis to raise national awareness of child abuse and neglect. The goal is to encourage others to “think hope” and “make hope connections” in order to help families live drug-free lives, thereby decreasing abuse.There are many reasons and ways to observe this occa-sion. You would be helping our future generation of chil-dren and giving them hope for a brighter tomorrow. Think of the local charities that help children, domestic violence agencies, homeless shelters (donate or volunteer), raise awareness, and use social media (hashtag#NationalDay-ofHope) to let your friends know you are participating. A Davie County Resource Guide is published by the Pearls of Empowerment. Some of the agencies listed include Drag-onfly House Children’s Advocacy Center, Hope Homes, Family Promise, Smart Start, Just Hope, Inc., Davie Cen-ter for Violence Prevention and House of Hope. Go online and see which agency is right for you to offer help.Hope for a better day matters now more than ever not only for our children but for everyone. After the pandemic and its aftermath, the economic and political issues on the home front and now the crisis in Ukraine would make any-one think that the world is coming to an end soon. But, let us all be more optimistic than that. Let’s look for the light at the end of the tunnel. And, don’t forget, the last Saturday in April is National Kiss of Hope Day. A simple kiss or a few words of encour-agement is all that’s needed sometimes to lift up the spirits of someone whether they are family, friends or complete strangers. Every now and then, take time to listen to the great Beatles song “Imagine” where the last verse is “You may say I’m a dreamer But I’m not the only one I hope someday you’ll join us And the world will live as one.” 4 - DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, April 7, 2022 Chamber Board Chair Keith Beck recognizes Brad Chapman and Tom Lentz for their dedicat- ed service as members of the Chamber board. - Photos courtesy One Shot Photography Continued From Page 1host community job fairs.

Chamber Ambassadors promote their own com-panies; promote chamber events and programs; visit new and existing chamber members; represent the chamber at groundbreak-ings, ribbon cuttings, and other chamber events and assist with chamber proj-ects. “A Chamber Ambassa-dor is the chamber’s biggest fan. They promote, support, and highlight, not only the Chamber itself but more im-portantly, the businesses we serve,” said Johnson.“The circumstances of the past couple of years have made everything more challenging. This individual met that challenge and con-tinued the charge, serving as an ambassador since 2019, and also serving as chair for the past two years. She is an active community member, business leader, and entre-preneur, and yet still man-ages to find time to support the local business commu-nity.” Ignite DavieStudents + Businesses After the ceremony, Car-olyn McManamy, director of Davie Connect, gave an Ignite Davie update. It is Davie’s college promise program that pays tuition, fees, and a stipend for books for Davie County students to attend DDCC without debt. Students can pursue a diploma, certificate, and as-sociate/transfer degree. McManamy said the pro-gram has grown since it launched with the graduat-ing class of 2020: 71 stu-dents started their college career at DDCC the first year, 85 members of the class of 2021 took advan-tage of the program, and 86 students from the class of 2022 have applied, and the deadline isn’t until May 15. “Clearly the awareness and interest in Ignite Davie is growing with our students and in our community.”She highlighted the Ca-reer Connections compo-nent of the program, which is beginning this spring, ex-plaining that it is a partner-ship with local employers to connect students with career exposure and work-based learning opportunities that align with a student’s aca-demic pursuits. “Career Connections provides students with real-world experience and employers gain access to a direct pipeline of well-educated students who will be joining the workforce,” said McManamy. She urged businesses to get involved, indicating that the program is looking for job shadow-ing opportunities, intern-ships, tours, professional interviews, career fairs, and guest speakers. “We have 23 students graduating in May and July. Some are transferring to a four-year school but others are completing their pro-grams and will be looking to start their careers. This is our up and coming work-force and they really need you to be involved with Ca-reer Connections.” She thanked those who have supported Ignite Davie and invited those new to the program to get involved. So far, the program has raised $2.2 million of the $3 mil- Leadership Davie members, from left: seated - Adam Ridenhour, Al Sey- mour; standing - Kaitlyn Jarvis, Andrea Kimura, Dr. Allison Carr, Dr. Timo- gi Jackson, Melinda Szeliga.

State of the RegionChamber Board Chair Keith Beck introduced key-note speaker, Mike Fox, president of the Piedmont Triad Partnership, who leads regional efforts to pro-mote the strengths and op-portunities of the NC Caro-lina Core, partnering with economic development pro-fessionals and stakehold-ers to build on strategies to recruit new businesses and jobs.Fox gave a “State of the Region” address detailing this year’s successes within the NC Carolina Core, a 17 county, 120+ mile stretch of central North Carolina from Yadkinville to Fayetteville encompassing Greensboro and High Point and Win-ston-Salem in close prox-imity to Charlotte and the Research Triangle, all along future I-685.“The region is doing great thanks to the work of the people you honored this morning as well as many others in our 17-county region. We’ve had a lot of great success over the last few years, a lot of it right here in Davie County. You’ve had some real wins as far as economic develop- ment goes,” said Fox. Fox touted the benefits of creating a regional brand. “The Piedmont Triad Part-nership (PTP) is working to bring our communities together to work regionally to create a vision where mu-nicipal lines, county lines are not as important because they aren’t important to businesses that are looking to locate here. They want a community, a business cli-mate that is favorable, they want available sites, they want a well-trained work-force and they don’t neces-sarily care where the county line is. Part of our mission has been to unify our dif-ferent communities and counties across the area and help brand this region as an area that is desirable to live and to do business, and we have been very successful in that.” He touted the recent Toyota Battery Phase 1 and Boom Supersonic an-nouncements and their im-pact noting that they will bring thousands of jobs and more than $1.5 billion in in-vestment to the region. He also pointed out that there are 81 active business recruitment and expansion projects in the pipeline in the Carolina Core. These projects have 39,610 jobs and a potential $27.1 billion investment associated with them. “We feel like we are poised to pick up the growth that Charlotte and Raleigh have been experiencing for decades… People across the country now know where that is and what we do and what we have to offer here.” Moser ended the event by thanking sponsors. “This meeting would not have been possible without our generous sponsors Lam-bert Funeral Home, and My Geek Technologies.” She also recognized Chamber Champions Atri-um Health Wake Forest Baptist Davie Medical Cen-ter, Allegacy Federal Credit Union, Brakebush Broth-ers, Comfort Bilt, DEX Heavy Duty Parts, Duke Energy, Hampton Inn of Bermuda Run, Iredell Fam-ily Care Center, Marzano Capital Group, Red Thread, Re/Max Realty Consultants – Melinda Szeliga, TRU Taekwondo, United Way of Davie County, and Win-Mock at Kinderton. DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, April 7, 2022 - 5 The Davie Communi-ty Foundation received a $4,000 donation for schol-arships last week. Thanks to an investment by Wayne Farms, Davie students will receive ad-ditional dollars for educa-tion. The donation will add $1,000 to the Davie County Training School - Central Davie High School Reunion Scholarship and $3,000 to the Community Scholarship program, making dollars available for investment in more students for the 2022 – 2023 school year.“At Wayne Farms, we strive to be the amazing poultry company and the partner of choice with our employees, customers, and the communities in which we operate. We are honored to participate in a scholar-ship program that encour-ages excellence in students, and we are excited to be a part of Mocksville and Da-vie County,” said Matthew Wooten, complex manager for Wayne Farms who was on hand to deliver the check.“As foundation program officer, I am especially ex-cited to have additional scholarships available this year,” said Melissa O’Connor. “Our commit-tee has to make difficult decisions every year and they always finish the pro-cess wishing they had more money to award.”Wayne Farms purchased J.P. Green Milling on Depot Street in Mocksville last fall to replace a rental facility they use in Newton. Wayne Farms has operated facili-ties in the southeast for more than 70 years with facilities in nine cities and towns. Their corporate headquar-ters are in Oakwood, Ga. and facilities extend as far west as Danville, Ark. The company plans to transform the JP Green mill into a state-of-the-art feed mill that will meet the high-est standards in the industry. “Feed mills today don’t 18,000 SQ. FT.

Residents who live on federally recognized Tribal Lands may qualify for additional Tribal benefits if they participate in certain federal eligibility programs. The Lifeline discount is available for only one telephone or qualifying broadband service per household, and can be on either wireline or wireless service. Broadband speeds must be 25 Mbps download and 3 Mbps upload or faster to qualify. A household is defined for the purposes of the Lifeline program as any individual or group of individuals who live together at the same address and share income and expenses. Lifeline service is not transferable, and only eligible consumers may enroll in the program. Consumers who willfully make false statements in order to obtain a Lifeline discount can be punished by fine or imprisonment and can be barred from the program. If you live in a CenturyLink service area, please call 1-800-201-4099 or visit centurylink.com/ lifeline with questions or to request an application for the Lifeline program. 1424896 DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, April 7, 2022 - 7District Court The following cases were disposed of during the March 10 session of Davie District Court.

Trees are starting to bud and flowers are beginning to bloom. As you begin your spring cleaning projects keep in mind that the Town of Mocksville offers the Rich Park compost site on the first and third Saturdays of each month as a place for residents to bring limbs and yard waste. Town residents also have weekly trash pick up and bi-weekly recycling as options to dispose of waste. If you have old appliances or furniture, please take them to the metal recycling facility on Milling Road or the Davie County waste transfer facility on Dalton Road. The Public Works Department of the town does not pick up these bulky items if left at your curb. As you begin to mow, try not to blow clippings out into the neighborhood or town streets as this clogs up storm water drains and can become a hazard. Not to mention, it looks bad to have leaves and debris blown out into the street. I am not looking forward to the pollen that comes this time of year, but I am looking forward to warmer weather and the beauty that spring has to offer in our small town. Have you been out to Rich Park lately? The greenway has been very busy with walkers and runners enjoying the warmer weather. Make plans to come to a baseball game over the next few months or play with your children on the abundance of playground amenities. We are blessed to have this park right here in the middle of town. Be sure to check out the City Page in the Davie County Enterprise or the town’s Facebook page to see upcoming games or concerts the town will be promoting this Spring and Summer. I am looking forward to seeing you out and about. William J. Marklin, III Mayor, Town of Mocksville Manager’s Corner Town of Mocksville is Hiring! Are you tired of having a job instead of a career?

Inside a sewer, fats, oils and grease change to a plaster-like consistency and can block the pipes, causing an overflow of untreated wastewater. At home, you can dispose of normal cooking oil and grease by putting it in a container as part of your solid waste rather than through your sink and plumbing drain. Wiping and scraping pots, pans and other utensils before washing them are important steps in proper grease disposal. If your business generates waste grease, fats or oil, you should have a grease interception system that works effectively. A company that recycles fats, oils and grease should regularly clean out the grease trap.

Connections ... a lot of business owners and have developed a lot of contacts. So I reached out to them and told them we had students interested in positions and asked them if they would be willing to host interns. Other than a few who couldn’t employ anyone under 18, most of the businesses I have spo-ken to have been very open to it.” A Davie High student taking welding classes at Davidson-Davie Com-munity College was in-terested in an internship, so Wooldridge called Phil Fuller at Fuller Weld-ing and Fabricators. “I’ve known Phil for a long time and asked if he had any in-terest, and we were able to place an intern there this semester.”A student interested in masonry and carpentry was able to intern with Smith & Company Custom Homes & Remodeling. “I knew Mike and Dawn through the lumber company, and they were excited to con-tinue teaching the trade to someone.” Another student who thinks she might be inter-ested in cosmetology is working at Sarah Ashley Salon. “Internships are great because they help you determine whether you do or don’t like doing some-thing.” COVID has been a bar-rier for many healthcare-related internships, so Wooldridge appreciates Mocksville Senior Liv-ing and Bermuda Village’s willingness to work with students, train them, and allow them into their facili-ties despite COVID. Internships can be paid or unpaid and are offered during the first and sec-ond semesters and over the summer. Students can in-tern during the school day, after school, or the week-end, whatever their sched-ule allows. A student must be a ju-nior or senior and have completed at least one level one CTE course. To receive high school credit, students must complete 120 contact hours for a regular intern-ship or 135 hours for an honors internship. To fur-ther enhance the experi-ence, interns complete a micro-credential for soft skills and create a resume and portfolio so that they have something that will help them build their career at the end of the internship. Interns also plan and execute a project to ben-efit the company they are working for. For instance, Fearrington is shooting a “Welcome to Davie Coun-ty” video for Hillsdale Real Estate Group and Beck is designing a boot camp course for the YMCA. “The project component of the internship is valuable for the students. The project allows the student to invest in their internship host’s business and take pride in helping their internship site,” said Wooldridge. This school year, 23 students have interned at 18 local companies. Wooldridge would love for many more to have the op-portunity. The word about the value of internships is getting out among students. Although it is still early in the registration process, she already has 23 interested in internships next year. Now she needs the businesses. “We appreciate all of the businesses that have part-nered with us so far and are always looking for ad-ditional partners.” She pointed out that in-ternships are a win-win. Not only does the student gain work experience and the opportunity to take what’s being learned in the classroom and apply it to the real world, but the busi-ness has the chance to help cultivate the next genera-tion workforce and perhaps meet a future employee. Wooldridge encourages all businesses to consider offering an internship, but if that isn’t possible, to consider providing students with job shadowing oppor-tunities for a day or two. For companies that may be worried about liability, she pointed out that the school system’s insurance covers the students, so they don’t need to worry about open-ing up their doors.

Hillsdale Real Estate Group has been a proud supporter of our local teachers and students. We even dedicate a portion of every closing to a scholar-ship fund we have at the Davie Community Founda-tion, but we’re a real estate brokerage—most of what we do requires a profes- sional license. “But Mrs. Wooldridge encouraged us to think out of the box and even sug-gested a specific student interested in video editing. Certainly, we could see how someone with experi-ence editing videos could be helpful for a group of people hired to sell houses.“More than that, we’re so glad Angel is getting some on-the-job experience to help her further develop and practice her passion. She’s doing amazing work for us—from short social media videos to larger proj-ects still in the works and even some graphic design work. Hopefully, it’s a win-win for everyone—we’ve been able to tackle some fun projects that we might not otherwise dedicate the time or resources to doing, and she’s learning and hon-ing her already excellent editing and design skills.” To learn more about set-ting up an internship pro-gram for students in Da-vie, contact Wooldridge at 336-751-5905 or wooldrid-gea@davie.k12.nc.us.

Born as an only child, her parents divorced when she was young. “Both of my parents remarried before I was 10 years old, and I went from being an only child to hav-ing step siblings,” Wilson said. “Often times when I would spend time with my dad, he would take me to ride horses. I loved it so much and began weekly riding lessons.” Wilson’s love for animals was instant. “If I wasn’t riding horses, I was also involved in the choir and competed both regionally and nationally.” Whether in the class-room or competing in choral competitions, Wilson focused 100 percent on whatever that was. Her efforts were recognized when she was awarded an academic scholarship to at-tend Guilford College. “I liked the smaller feel that Guildford had on campus. I also wanted to be close to home because my mom was having some medical issues that I wanted to be there for,” she said. While at Guilford, Wilson earned bachelor’s degrees in criminal justice and in community & justice studies. Graduating from in three years, Wilson had tak-en advantage of the Cadre program which allowed her to work on campus for 35- BERMUDA RUN - Max-well Langfitt, M.D., an orthopaedic surgeon with Atrium Health Wake For-est Baptist and an assistant professor of orthopaedic surgery with Wake For-est School of Medicine, has been named executive medical director for periop-erative services at Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist Davie Medical Center.In this role, Langfitt is re-sponsible for managing and coordinating the activities required to provide a safe and supportive environment for patients and teammates. He will lead alongside nurs-ing, anesthesia and sub-specialty leadership for the operating room and post-anesthesia care unit clinical services.“I am honored to have the opportunity to serve Davie Medical Center in this role and to work more closely Kintegra is a health care organization with a patient-first integrated approach that focuses on whole-per-son care, without regard for the ability to pay.Kintegra’s approach to medicine combines primary medical care and behavior-al-health services in a fam-ily practice setting. Kintegra opened the doors of Kintegra Family Medicine - Mocksville in September 2021 off Farm-ington Road at I-40, within the Davie Department of Health & Human Services, in collaboration with athe health department’s pediat-ric clinic. The Kintegra team is led by providers Julie File, PA-C and Brittany Collins, LCSWA.Collins is from Winston Salem. She graduated from the University of New Eng-land in 2020 with a master's in social work.She knows that an indi-vidual's mental health is im-portant to overall health and quality of life. Having close 40 hours at minimum wage and receive two free classes each summer. Her next step would be to get a master’s in human services from Nova South-eastern University. The pro-gram took two years. It was a pivotal time for Wilson as she also reconnected with her future husband, Eric Wilson. “We ran into each other at Applebee’s of all places,” Wilson said with a smile.As Eric and Blair began building their relationship, she was also gaining expe-rience professionally in the Office of Advancement for Guilford College. “I had worked for that office during my college years as well, and enjoyed it so much, I continued through my master’s program,” Wilson said. As a philanthropy assistant, Wilson helped fundraise, worked with donors, and with alumni, which was meaningful. “What I liked about working for Guilford, was I truly believed in what their programs offered students. I enjoyed sharing with people my firsthand experiences that I had found helpful,” she said.After investing five years at Guilford, Wilson decided to make a change to a profession that was geared towards her double majors. The newlywed be-gan working as the director of financial development for the American Children’s Home. “Raising money to help build opportuni-ties for children was work that I found meaningful,” Wilson said. Wilson, who was by then the stepmother for Eric’s daughter, Erika whose mother had passed away, knew the impact providing opportunities to children would have. Wilson also worked at the Nazareth Child and Family Connection in a similar capacity as their Director of Development. “The reason I made that move professionally was because it provided a mix of everything that I had worked on prior in addi-tion to having an outpatient facility. They had a larger budget for community outreach to educate others,” Wilson said. After serving in that role for four years, the American Children’s Home became a United Way Agency, and their organiza-tion received the highest funding in the county.“Although I really enjoyed my time fundrais-ing for those organizations, like many people during the pandemic, I really did some soul searching for what I wanted to do long term,” Wilson said. “I spent some time helping my husband with his business for about three to four months while I gave it serious thought. “I had always been passionate about animals from my childhood. I had always felt compelled to help save them from abuse and cruelty. When I came across a position with the Humane Society of Davie County for an executive director job, I decided to apply for it.” Wilson realizes that a lot of challenges for the Humane Society of Davie is similar to her previous positions. “The Humane Society of Davie County relies solely on private funding sources. There are no funds given to the organization by the local government like other humane societies, so we have to fight for every penny,” Wilson said.Wilson believes that hav-ing the Humane Society’s presence is important. “We are currently in a bit of transition, trying to figure out if we will have a building or if we will be strictly foster based. Foster families are a huge need for our organization. We can’t say yes to helping an animal if we don’t have a family that is able to take them in while we get them the proper medical care and match the animal up with the right family,” she said. “Foster families play such a critical role in helping these animals who have been failed, once, twice, or maybe even more times.”Wilson also believes that the Humane Society of Davie has other roles that the community benefits from other than adoption. “I believe educating the public about the impor-tance of spay and neuter is huge. Also, why heartworm prevention is lifesaving is something that many people still don’t much about. That’s where we can come in and help educate those folks,” Wilson said.Wilson has three chihua-huas as family members. “Our most recent addition is what we call in rescue, a foster failure. We got a call about him on New Year’s Eve, and I knew no one else could likely take him that day because it was a holiday, so I brought him home. Let’s just say Bruiser Woods Wilson has never left,” Wilson said with a laugh.Ensuring that animals from the many calls, emails, and messages get good homes can be daunt-ing. However, Wilson continues to honor the pact she made with herself at the beginning of the pandemic to honor her own mental health. “We spend a lot of time with my husband’s family that just moved to our area. We also have started travel-ing again, now that we are empty nesters,” she said. “Whether it’s a trip to the mountains, or the beach, we make sure to recharge when we can. It’s important to make it a priority.”1 Davie humane society transitions with new director Blair Wilson, step-daughter Erika and husband, Eric. ties to Mocksville, she is excited to help provide the resources and break through barriers preventing those individuals from getting the behavioral health care they need.

How do you put into words what someone means to you?A strong man, not tall in stature, but humble in his ways, he worked hard his whole life. He was a devoted husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather.All my life I’ve enjoyed his company, character, wisdom, and dedication to anything he set his mind to. A jack of all traits, master of many, he had a great sense of humor with which he shared with friends and enjoyed life from the coast to the mountains.Many people didn’t have the pleasure of knowing their grandparents; I’ve been blessed my entire life, growing up trying to absorb every little bit of the secrets of life and wisdom that my mind could take in. I thank God for all the time he has given us to have wonderful holidays, cookouts, homemade ice cream, and just great times - all together at Mammaw and Pappaw’s house.Don Nichols was his name, he he passed away on the 30th of January.The Bible tell us there are no good men, and I know that’s true; but he was a great grandfather.Last Easter, we sat together at the table.

Eager organ en-thusiasts did anything but crawl – the word's a misnomer. Guests hastily boarded the tour bus at two pick-up loca-tions at 9 am. Each one of us ea-gerly anticipated our final destina-tion – Hickory. The dictionary defines a crawl as an activity involving a group of people who frequent a place to-gether. In this case – the place was home to some of the best organs in Western NC – five churches. Yes, I could have driven. But being on tour with a busload of organists was not to be missed. I was right – the entire experience surpassed my expectations. After stops at Episcopal Church of the Ascension and First Baptist Church – it was time for lunch.Guests headed to restaurants of their choice in downtown. I chose a quirky little sandwich bar called Hatch, where I enjoyed a deli-cious grilled Turkey Reuben with a side of macaroni and cheese. One taste of my grandson's melting Grilled Cheese was to die for – served with Miso Broccoli or Maple Brussel Sprouts. Guests returned to the bus to travel to Grace Chapel at Lenoir-Rhyne University. With more than one organ, we lingered there. Almost all guest organists took their turn on the organs at each church along the way. The two final organ stops were at St. Lukes United Methodist Church and Corinth Reformed Church. I sat in awe of all – pipes and pedals. I awaited provisions. Tired and hungry, we'd walked up an appetite by the end of the day. We traveled to our final destination – the res-taurant, FOURK. A wine bar was offered with appetizers of Hummus Duo, Buffalo Bites with Blue Cheese Dipping Sauce, and a Baked Brie topped with Blueberry Compote. The group shared dinner in a private room with our choice of entree being Grilled Salmon with Honey-Chipotle Glaze, Linguini Pasta Zinfandel Butter Sauce with Grilled Chick-en, or a 12 oz. Ribeye. Sides were Yukon Gold Whipped Potatoes and a vegetable medley. Dessert options were a gluten-free Chocolate Torte or Blackberry Wine Cake. Not bad for a day's crawl. In the blink of an eye – the event had come to an end. Around 9:30 p.m., the bus pulled up to the stop where we debarked. I can't remember the last time I had enjoyed an occasion so much. I was slap out tired yet gratified – by glorious music and tasty dinner provisions. Isn't it good to know that God always makes provisions for his people? What God provides is sufficient to sustain us for all that we might experience today. God will provide for our needs for today and tomorrow at precisely the right time, not a moment early and not a moment late. God's hand is always on us. Psalm 34:10 reads, "The lions may grow weak and hungry, but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing. (NIV)When it comes to what we need - we have nothing to worry about. Like a dish at a church potluck supper – God has it covered.

Pedals, pipes and provisions: Hickory a tasty place DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, April 7, 2022 - B1Sports By Brian PittsEnterprise Record Davie’s varsity baseball team, which only has two seniors in the everyday lineup and one of them got hurt last week, went through some understandable struggles when it faced East Forsyth, Alex-ander Central and Reagan over a string of five games. The War Eagles dropped all five. Another loss would have marked the longest losing streak since who knows when. (Davie did not lose six in a row between 1996-2021.) With the season in jeopardy of falling apart, the War Eagles rolled up their sleeves and took two from Mt. Tabor. When Davie’s 2-0 lead evap-orated in the fifth inning at Tabor on March 29, the War Eagles were at a crossroads. They came through in the late innings to stop the bleeding. “In the back of your mind, it’s like, ‘Oh gosh, here we go again,’” coach Joey Anderson said. “We’ve had so many of those games where By Brian PittsDavie Enterprise Record Summer Simpson delivered the biggest offensive performance in four years and pitcher Kaylyn Nuckols outdueled Glenn’s Erika Clinard as Davie’s varsity softball team overcame the absence of two starters and beat the Bobcats 9-5 in Kernersville on March 30. The War Eagles were without cleanup batter London Dirks (.457, 3 homers, 18 RBIs) and No. 1 pitcher Maddie Hendrix, who had started seven of 10 games and had pitched 42 of 65 innings. L. Dirks was out sick and Hendrix was sidelined with an injury. It didn’t matter. Davie outhit Glenn 13-6 and never trailed while extending its series winning streak to seven. Nuckols and Clinard posted zeroes in the first two innings, with Davie leaving the bases loaded in the second. But the top of the third went kaboom. The big inning started innocently, with Simpson’s double getting sandwiched by a pair of outs. Then came the mer-ry-go-round. McKenzie Mixon walked, Chesney Shook tripled and Leah Grimes singled. Carleigh Croom and Bailey Snow added singles as Davie took a 5-0 lead and never looked back. What made the win satisfying is Davie knocked around a quality arm. Clinard struck out 11, but she walked five and needed 162 pitches to navigate seven innings. “She’s legit,” Davie assistant Fred Smith said of Clinard. “She’s had 116 strikeouts and only 16 walks. I told the girls: ‘She’s not going to walk you. You’re going to get something to hit.’ She is what keeps them in the game, and she bats like .500, too.”Simpson went 4 for 4 with four runs, 2 doubles, 2 steals and a walk. Getting four hits against a weak pitcher is one thing. Doing it against someone like Clinard is quite another. She put up Davie’s first four-hit performance in 78 games, which made her a blistering 19 for 38 on the season. “Summer is really striking the ball well,” Smith said. “This year she’s dialed (her swing) back a little bit and she’s doing a great job taking what they give her. She’s hitting singles and doubles mixed in with some home runs.”Snow (3-4, two steals) and Syd-ney Dirks (2-4, walk) were among the top sticks as Davie produced nine or more runs for the eighth time in 13 games. Davie got a boost from Nuck-ols, who went all seven innings and fired 61 of 97 pitches for strikes. Only two of Glenn’s runs were earned as Davie committed four errors (Glenn had 6 miscues). How about that from a girl who had only pitched 14 innings in 13 games? The senior’s longest outing before this in her three-year varsity career was three innings. “Kaylyn stepped up,” Smith said. “She did a great job. We changed the defense around a little bit and put a shift on.”S. Dirks moved from second to third to fill London’s defensive spot. Freshman Raelyn Lankford took S. Dirks’ spot at second. “Raelyn is solid,” Smith said. “She can play any position. She pitched in middle school, but she hasn’t pitched in two or three years. We’ve been working with her in practice.”Notes: Glenn fell to 4-7 overall and 3-4 in the Central Piedmont Conference. ... Simpson had the first four-hit game since Sierra Ferguson went 4-4 in an 11-5 win at Central Davidson in March of 2018. ... Davie has been strength-ened by the earlier-than-expected return of Shook, who missed the first 11 games with an injury. Her junior debut came the game before against Montour. She’s got a ton of varsity experience. She was the No. 1 pitcher as a freshman and sophomore. Last season she went 8-1 for a team that finished 10-6, tossing 54.2 innings with a 3.54 ERA. She can’t pitch right now, but she can swing the bat. “She was able to return sooner than anticipated,” coach Debbie Evans said. “She can’t do any throwing yet, just hitting and base running.”Davie 18, Reynolds 1The home game against Reyn-olds on April 1 unfolded just as expected. Davie put the Demons to bed in two and a half innings. Twelve of Davie’s 16 hits came from Melanie Gobble (2-2), S. Dirks (2-2), L. Dirks (2-3), Audrea Fowler (2-2), Ashley Bledsoe (2-2) and Grimes (2-2). The most noteworthy moment was Gobble’s first homer of the season. When she barreled Davie’s 17th bomb, she became the eighth different War Eagle to go yard this season, matching a program record. (Eight girls went deep in 2016.)Nuckols, Delaney Parsons and Lankford shared the pitching du-ties. In her high school debut in the circle, Lankford struck out two of three batters in the third. Davie (9-5, 7-1 CPC) remained one game behind first-place East Forsyth. Simpson, Nuckols lift softball team past Glenn Davie recovers; sweeps Tabor Please See Recovers - Page B2 By Brian PittsEnterprise Record There are two ways to look at Davie’s varsity soccer team in the Central Piedmont Conference standings, and the two views sit at opposite ends of the sports spectrum. The dark view: Davie entered the week 0-4 in the league. The rosy view: Davie’s CPC losses are by a total of seven goals. First-year coach Corbin Ko-petzky took solace in the skinny margins last week - 1-0 at Reagan and 2-1 at Mt. Tabor. The War Eagles, who haven’t finished better than fifth place since 2005, are closing the gap. “I told the girls: ‘You’re going from five- and six-goal losses to competing with them,’” Kopetzky said. “That’s progress. I didn’t take over the team to go undefeated and win a conference title in the first year. I took over the team to see improvement, and we’ve improved and we’ll continue to improve.”Reagan 1, Davie 0It wasn’t anything new, but the War Eagles played defense like crazy in Pfafftown on March 28. “The back four do their job night in and night out,” Kopetzky said. “We changed formations, so it kind of took the safety net part away, and they still played pretty well. So they’re pretty stellar back there.”The only goal was scored in the first half. Both teams had about the same number of opportunities. “We were pretty evenly matched,” he said. “We had six shots. They didn’t really shoot on us in the second half, and we didn’t really shoot on them. It was a good matchup.”The Raiders got their goal on a penalty kick. Avery Yount, who made seven saves, knocked it away, only to see Reagan convert the rebound. “Avery came out and made a good play,” he said. “She saved it, but they scored off the rebound. Saving it is kind of rare; it’s the hardest shot to save. They’re only about 12-14 yards out.”Kopetzky heaped praise on Girls soccer team making progress Please See Progress - Page B2 David Patton of Davie’s track team competes against two from Reynolds in the 100 meters.

Tonight we turned the corner and won.”Davie 5, Tabor 3The game turned when Tabor leadoff man Jake Koonin came up in the fifth with two on. He blasted a three-run homer to turn Davie’s 2-0 lead into a 3-2 deficit. “Their leadoff man is a player,” Anderson said. Davie scratched back in the sixth even though the first batter, Parker Simmons, was erased trying to stretch a single into a double. The next guy struck out. “We took the blame for getting Parker thrown out at second,” Anderson said. “We’re aggressive. We’re going to steal bases and hit-and-run. We’re going to try to make the opponent make a mistake.”With two outs, Coy James and Ty Miller helped save the day. James roped a double off the wall. Mo-ments later, he scored the tying run on Miller’s single up the middle. The top of the seventh was a jubilant moment for a team that hadn’t won in 16 days. Daniel Law-son doubled with one out. With 2 outs, Wesley Mason smacked a go-ahead triple and wound up with a “little league home run” when the throw got past the third baseman. Davie led 5-3. “We hung in even though Bayden (Hazlip) made that one (bad) pitch to their lead-off man,” Anderson said. “We kept competing and battling.”In the seventh, Koonin came up representing the tying run with one out. Ha-zlip induced a grounder to James, who started a 6-4-3 double play. Hazlip added to his se-nior resume with a com-plete-game six-hitter. He walked two and struck out 12, the most Ks by a Davie arm in 49 games. He’s been like a man on a mission all season, going 3-2 with a 2.30 ERA, four walks and 37 Ks in 30.1 innings. It was his third complete game in five starts. “Bayden was being Recovers ... By Brian PittsEnterprise Record After suffering offensive and defensive hiccups twice against Reagan the week be-fore, the Davie JV baseball team pulled out a back-and-forth battle, 13-7, against visiting West Davidson on March 28. After managing only seven runs across three games, the War Eagles (7-3) matched their season high in runs and washed away the Junior Colby Moore and sophomore Cooper Drum shot 4-over 40s to lead Da-vie’s golf team in a Central Piedmont Conference meet at Salem Glen on March 28. While Moore/Drum tied for 12th overall, sopho-more Sean Coates and junior Walker Jones had 44 and 45, respectively. The team scoring went 1-over 145 for Reynolds, 157 for West Forsyth, 166 for Reagan, 169 for Davie, 181 for East Forsyth and 182 for Mt. Tabor. Two days later, the War Davie’s boys lacrosse team made program histo-ry at East Forsyth, but the results were mixed after Davie played three games in four days. The War Eagles beat East for the first time ever, 17-12 on March 29, and Bryce Harnsberger played a huge role as Davie led at the end of each quarter. “Bryce had a great night at the faceoff X,” assistant coach Corey Tilley said. “He battled for groundballs and played great defense all game.”The coaching staff said: “Bryce was an absolute faceoff machine. He won crucial groundballs, ac-cumulated a lot of need-ed possessions and played spectacular defense.”Davie doesn’t avenge an 11-9 loss from March 4 without Ryan Walton (six goals) and Alex Speckin By Brian PittsEnterprise Record Although Davie’s tennis team came up just short against Reagan and Mt. Tabor, coach Shane Nixon is proud of the heart the young guys are showing. The first-year starters have been pressed into the lineup because of injuries to two starters. “Guys who are stepping up for us are playing hard,” Nixon said. “Zach Hill, Slade Keaton and Hayden Key, those are two freshmen and a sophomore who prob-ably didn’t expect to play this year and they are play-ing in meaningful matches. They are going out there when they know we need Porter, Stem spark comeback win for JV baseball taste of losing 4-0 and 9-2 to Reagan. The Green Dragons did not make it easy. They jumped to a 2-0 lead in the top of the first inning. Craig McBride, Dane Porter and Will Wands provided hits as Davie answered with four runs in the bottom half, but West retook a 7-5 lead in the fifth with a three-run rally that included two hits, a walk and two Davie errors.Davie’s response in the home half of the fifth was decisive. Porter, who led off with a double, and Larson Stem, who plated two with a single, were clutch. Bent-ley Moody, Wands, Hunter Shutt, McBride, Carson Queen and Hunter Daywalt all reached base as Davie as-sumed control with a six-run outburst that made it 11-7. It was just another day at the office for Stem, who went 2 for 4 with three runs and three RBIs. His fourth multi-hit game kept his glossy season average at .500 (11-22). “He’s still hitting the ball as good as ever,” coach Sam Wyrick said of Stem, who moved from first base to shortstop. “We can move him anywhere we want to. He said put me in the lineup wherever. I’m excited to see what he can do moving forward. He’s one of those guys you want on the field.”Porter’s 2-for-3, three-RBI afternoon - his fourth multi-hit performance - epit-omized the cleanup batter/ catcher’s season. “He’s someone I trust at the plate,” Wyrick said. “He knows when to go backside. He did a fantastic job behind the plate. He’s carrying a big load, but I think he’s handling it very well.”A third War Eagle with two hits was Kason Stewart, who knocked in three runs and made a seamless tran-sition to first base. “He had two good hits and made some good de-fensive plays,” Wyrick said. Don’t forget Daywalt’s relief pitching. In three in-nings, he gave up two hits, walked none and struck out five. Both runs off him were unearned. He threw 32 strikes in 39 offerings and lowered his ERA to 2.10 across 10 innings. “He delivered,” Wyrick said. “We couldn’t ask for a better performance.”Davie outhit West 10-9. Davie had three errors, but West had five. Tennis team hurting from close losses (four assists). The other goals came from Daniel Re-ichard (four), Camden Beck (three), Ty Carter (two), Harnsberger and Speckin. Adding assists were Walton (two), Carter, Sam Warner, Harnsberger, Owen Horne and Reichard. “The guys played tough,” Tilley said. “They were very focussed and made plays when we needed them.”East’s third straight loss dropped it to 2-6 in the Cen-tral Piedmont Conference.•••Unfortunately, it’s been an up-and-down ride for the War Eagles, who left Kern-ersville with three wins in four games but followed that with back-to-back losses, including a 14-13 overtime decision at Mooresville on March 31. “We did not play well at all,” Tilley said. “We had lots of mistakes and were not focussed. We got out-hustled.”Carter, Speckin, Walton, Reichard and Beck had two goals each. Kole Bilyeu, Warner and Horne added one apiece. Getting assists were Speckin (two), Walton (two), Bilyeu, Reichard and Beck. The Blue Devils im-proved to 5-5. •••Beck scored four times, but it wasn’t enough to prevent a 15-9 home loss to Reagan on April 1. Bilyeu, Harnsberger, Speckin, Walton and Reich-ard had 1 goal each. Walton had 2 assists, while Bilyeu, Harnsberger, Speckin and Reichard had 1. Reagan improved to 7-4 overall while Davie stum-bled to 5-7. Davie is fourth in the CPC standings at 3-6, trail-ing Reynolds (8-0), Mt. Tabor (7-2) and Reagan (6-2). West Forsyth (2-5), East Forsyth (2-7) and Glenn (0-6) are in the lower echelon. Girls LaxThe Davie girls saw their losing streak expand to four with losses to East Forsyth (23-3), Mooresville (10-7) and Reagan (17-8). Grace Butler had all the goals for Davie (2-10, 1-8) at East. Katie Freeland scored twice in the nonconference game at Mooresville. Ni-cole Korczyk, Jenna Scully, Butler, Zoey Cleary and Kinnah Chamberlain had one apiece. The goals against Reagan came from Korczyk (three), Butler (two), Ava Rajacich, Steph Bueno and Cham-berlain. Davie’s top three scorers for the season are Butler (22 goals), Chamberlain (16) and Rajacich (15). Boys lacrosse knocks off East Eagles played a noncon-ference match at Pudding Ridge. Reynolds shot 16-over 156 to beat two Da-vie squads - the White and Black. Moore was the medalist at 1-over 36. White team-mates were Anderson Be-liveau and Drum, who were next with 39s, and Coates, who shot 44. Scores from the Davie Black were Lane Hill 42, Tripp Bradshaw 43, Nathan Crotts 44 and 48s from Ryan Olmedo and Grayson Hanes. Golf team 4th in CPC meet them to win, usually against players better than them. I’m really proud of those guys.”Reagan 5, Davie 4This battle on March 28 wasn’t decided until the end after the teams split singles. Burke Rosenbaum (6-0, 6-0), C Crenshaw (6-3, 6-2) and Bryce Bailey (6-2, 7-5) gave Davie three wins in singles. Then Rosenbaum/Crenshaw steamrolled 8-0 at No. 1 doubles. The visiting Raiders, though, took the other two doubles to beat Davie for the second time in a week. The score was 6-3 on March 22. “Burke, C and Bryce are just playing amazing ten-nis,” Nixon said. “C got beat by the same guy at Reagan and came back and made sure it wasn’t close today.”Tabor 5, Davie 4Again, the War Eagles fell by a thin margin, this time to visiting Mt. Tabor on March 30. It was a payback win for the Spartans, who lost 5-4 to Davie earlier. The War Eagles are 7-4 overall and 6-4 in the Cen-tral Piedmont Conference. But four of the verdicts have been 5-4, with Davie coming up on the short end of three of those. “These 5-4 losses are not a reflection of my kids’ guts and heart,” Nixon said. “They gave it everything. These losses have to be on me. I’ve got to do better get-ting us ready to play. Other coaches are using funky lineups, all legal mind you, but really mixing things up. With injuries, we simply don’t have that luxury, and that is on me for not having guys ready to step in. I think the good news is that young guys are getting real minutes, which will make us better down the line.”The match saw a mam-moth streak come to an end. Rosenbaum, a junior, was 24-0 in the CPC for his career going into this match. An overnight sensa-tion at No. 1 singles the day he arrived in 2020, he had won 286 of 325 games, in-cluding a 6-2, 6-2 win over Tabor’s Adam Cartwright on March 7. But Cartwright evened the score 7-5, 6-0. Now Rosenbaum is 31-3 in his career, the other two losses coming against Grimsley and Hough during his fresh-man year. “He is such a great team-mate, a wonderful compet-itor and a leader,” Nixon said. “Maybe you’d think on the occasion of his first (CPC) loss, I’d find some-thing to nitpick. Well, you’d be wrong. For my money, he is still the best player in the CPC and has been since the day he walked in the door. I’d rather have Burke as my one than anybody else. And oh by the way, after a tough loss against a great player, he goes out and wins doubles.”Crenshaw (3-6, 6-2, 10-3) pulled off a comeback win at No. 2. Bailey kept his foot on the gas at No. 3, winning 6-2, 6-1. And Aidan Froelich picked up a clutch win at No. 6 (6-4, 6-3). The winning score for Rosen-baum/Crenshaw was 8-4. “C is a shot-maker who plays with emotion,” he said. “He drives the rest of our guys with his great play and guttural screams. Bryce is a sneaky good player. No one thing jumps off the page when you see him play. He doesn’t have the big serve. He doesn’t get to the net a ton. But then you look up and he’s up 4-1. He plays with a confidence that makes me happy. Aidan got us a huge win. He played so well and atoned for losing over there.”The War Eagles just couldn’t find that fifth win, resulting in their first back-to-back CPC losses since facing Reagan on consecu-tive days in April of 2019. “This was a tough loss - really tough,” Nixon said. “I feel like we are better than we played, but then I look at the sheet and can’t figure out where another win should have come from. I’ll take my odds at two doubles. Bryce and Aidan were up 7-6 with Bryce serving. They played well and just couldn’t close it out (in 9-7 defeat). Don’t hear that as me saying somehow it was that twosome’s fault. It wasn’t. We just needed one more win and it was not there.”Notes: The last time Da-vie dropped consecutive CPC matches to different opponents was Reynolds/West Forsyth in March of 2016. ... No. 3 Bailey is still unbeaten at 11-0. Rosen-baum and Crenshaw are both 10-1. Froelich is 7-4 at 5-6. Rosenbaum/Crenshaw are 10-0 at No. 1 doubles. Bayden,” Anderson said. “He kept making big pitch after big pitch.” With a laugh, he said: “We really don’t know what Bayden throws. There’s variations of what he throws. He takes some off of some and puts more on others. He holds the ball different on changeups. Whatever it is, it’s working. He’s been a bulldog. He’s going to come after you. He doesn’t shy away from anybody.”James went 2 for 4 with two doubles to push his av-erage to .350 (14-40). Eight of his 14 hits have gone for extra bases (six doubles, two homers). Oh, and he’s a freshman. “I knew he could swing the bat,” Anderson said. “What he’s doing in his second and third at-bats is what’s impressing me. When they change their ap-proach, he is also changing his approach. Both of his hits were backside and they were well-hit balls. When he uses the whole field, he’s a very hard person to get out.”But the No. 1 average belongs to Lawson, who went 2-4 to lift his mark to .400 (10-25). Unfortunately, he injured himself on his seventh-inning double. “Daniel is just keeping it simple,” Anderson said. “Once he figured out, hey, I don’t have to hit for power is when he started hitting for power.”Notes: Hazlip, who only allowed one hit after Koonin’s homer, recorded the most Ks since Carson Whisenhunt fanned 17 in an 8-1 win over West Rowan in March of 2019. ... The Spartans (3-7, 1-6 Central Piedmont Conference) suf-fered their fourth straight loss. ... This was the first Davie-Tabor meeting since Davie’s 4-2 win in the 2017 CPC Tournament. Davie 12, Tabor 2Davie ultimately won in a rout, but things did not start smoothly against visit-ing Tabor on April 1. In the top of the first, a base hit took a weird hop and skipped over an out-fielder’s head. That resulted in a triple, and a single, walk and error followed as Tabor broke out to a 2-0 lead. Davie more than recov-ered, winning in mercy-rule fashion.“That (top of the first) got me out of the dugout pretty fast,” Anderson said. “I went out for a mound visit to try to calm (Jaydon Holder) down and get him in a rhythm. It was unfor-tunate. I told Jaydon: ‘Pitch your game and we’re going to play defense.’ After that, it was over.”Davie got one of the runs back in the bottom of the first. James, who walked and advanced on Miller’s bunt, scored on Davin Whitaker’s sac fly. Davie seized control in the second. A four-run up-rising started with Parker Aderhold’s walk, Mason’s bunt hit and JT Bumgar-ner’s RBI bunt. Then came a single from Drew Krouse, another run-scoring bunt (Simmons), a James dou-ble and a RBI single from Miller. For good measure, Davie tacked on three in the fourth to make it 9-2. James and Jackson Sink both had tri-ples in the inning. Holder was just as im-pressive as Hazlip was three days earlier. He pitched a four-hitter with two walks and 11 Ks. He got Tabor 1-2-3 in the second. He faced three batters in the third and four in the fourth. He got Tabor 1-2-3 in the fifth and struck out the side in the sixth. His second complete game left him at 2-1 with a 3.08 ERA. “He was working both sides of the zone,” Anderson said. “He had his changeup and curveball working real well. He mixed them up.” James (2-3, double, tri-ple, three runs) and Mason (2-3) had two hits as Davie outhit the visitors 9-4. Miller (1-1, three RBIs), Sink (1-2, two walks, three steals), Aderhold (1-2, two steals) and Krause (1-2, walk) had one hit each and Simmons drew a pair of walks. Notes: Davie entered the week 5-7 overall and 4-4 in the CPC. ... Davie made one error to Tabor’s four. ... James is 10 for 23 during a six-game hitting streak. ... Davie had to play without Lawson, who has played a big role as a middle-of-the-order bat and the catcher. “We will find out Wednes-day on his timetable,” An-derson said. “My gut says (he won’t be back soon), but we’re hoping for the best.” DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, April 7, 2022 ‑ B3 By Dan Kibler The phone rang one night about two weeks ago, at 10 o’clock, a call from somebody who should have been asleep for at least an hour.“When are we going fishin’?” came the expect-ant voice at the other end of the line.“Next Wednesday, Dad,” I replied.“Where we going?” he asked.“To Creedmoor, to that pond you’ve got permis-sion to fish, the one where we catch all the big bream.”“I can’t wait to go fish-in’.”About 50 years or so ago, the conversation would likely have been reversed. I would have been the one asking him almost daily – some might say badgering – about our next fishing trip. When could I expect a trip to the Grandview or Buckroe Beach fishing piers, or to the Chesapeake Bay in southern Maryland when the bluefish or striped bass, aka rockfish, were running?My, have the times changed.I am beyond lucky to have my father still with us at age 91. Heck, I’m glad to be breathing at 65, much less in possession of all my faculties and at last count, 36 fishing rods of various sizes, shapes and purposes. Who knows how they came into my possession, now resting side by side, lean-ing against the back of the couch in the basement rec room that I’ve taken over as a personal tackle shop.The other day, a week ago Tuesday, I picked out five rods, all light- or ultra-light-action spinning rods with matching reels that would have fit perfectly on the New River or on a trout stream somewhere in the North Carolina mountains, and I spooled on fresh line, slid on bobber stops, plas-tic beads, sliding floats and sinkers and tied on little No. 6 bream hooks that would eventually pierce the sides of nightcrawlers and red worms.And I took my dad fish-ing.He has some health problems. He’s still got most of his faculties in de-cent shape, but the assist-ed-living facility in Raleigh where he and my mother live has had him stuck in specialized nursing care for a couple of months since an infection flattened him. Once he got back on his feet – and behind his walker – he started asking about fishing. Except for the winter, I have driven over from Winston-Salem once a month for several years to take him fishing on a farm pond belonging to the son of one of his now-departed buddies from church. About 18 months ago, he achieved one of his remaining life goals: to fish beyond his 90th birthday.We have caught blue-gill of prodigious sizes. We have caught bass from 6 inches to 4 pounds. We have watched an osprey on the hunt, watched two hen turkeys suddenly decide they didn’t like the neigh-borhood around the little pond, watched a dog trainer put her Labs through their paces on the adjacent farm-land.We have talked about my kids, my grandkids, my son’s two Labs and their best dove-field work, things we’re doing on our my hunting lease – the dove field and food plots and trail cameras – the pine tim-ber being cut on the farm in Georgia, some of the deer we’ve killed and various mishaps.And we have spent qual-ity time together that can’t be replaced or duplicated, just as it was in the mid-1960s when I was walking beside him and behind bird dogs, when I learned how to cast a surf rod or drop a two-hook bottom rig right down next to a pier pil-ing, when we learned how to deer-hunt together. We have walked the woods on the farm where he grew up, killing my first squirrel from the same tree where he killed many a squirrel before breakfast for the family’s supper, killing a quail on my first covey rise – times I wouldn’t trade for anything in the world. I now carry his 20-gauge shotgun when dove or bird hunting; he once used it to kill for quail on one cov-ey rise; he said he’d have killed five, but he had to shoot the fourth bird twice. His deer rifle rests in my gun safe, carrying the scope my brother and I bought him for a birthday present 30 years agoHis real fishing success came late in life, probably because he spent so much time hauling the three of us to Little League, Babe Ruth, Pop Warner and other childhood pursuits from his 20s through his 50s. Once he retired, he bought a bass boat and spent two days a week fishing for crappie and bass on Falls and Jor-dan lakes with a professor buddy from the Baptist seminary in Wake Forest. He spent weeks on the Outer Banks with a surf rod in hand. He spent two weeks a year on an Oak Island pier catching every flounder that would bite. He made two-week pil-grimages to his old home-place to deer hunt with dif-ferent groups of friends and relatives. He shared a deer stand with my son the first time he killed a whitetail buck.Dad caught an 8-pound, 12-ounce flounder after he hit 75. He caught his first bull redfish at 83, his big-gest bass – 7½ pounds – at 85. On our last fishing trip, he caught three bass on con-secutive casts that would have weighed between 3 and 4 pounds; I netted them all, his personal cheerlead-er. The morning of that trip, my mother later told me, he had called her three times to make sure he knew what time I was picking him up. I can probably never pay him back enough for the time he spent with me five decades ago. He is so thrilled that the outdoors his father taught him to love, that he in turn showed me, has gone a generation down the track to my own son – and hopefully, to his 18-month-old son. He regularly tells me how im-portant that progression is to him. I tell him I’m just trying to follow the path he and his father blazed.Hopefully, we’ll go down that path again in April – especially if I get to use a turkey tag early in the season – and again in May and for months after that. When the time comes that he’s not up to another trip, I’ll have more stories to share and precious times to remember. Making memories that can’t be replaced The writer’s father holds up a bass caught on their latest fishing trip. - Photo by Dan Kibler The Ellis softball team is off to a magnificent start, torching four opponents by a combined score of 48-5. The victims so far have been North Davie (11-4), South Davie (11-1), Wes-leyan Christian Academy (13-0) and North Carolina Leadership Academy (13-0). Jadyn Davis has launched two home runs over the fence, one against South and the other against Wesleyan. Brianna Tolar has pitched two lights-out games, allow-ing one run total. “The team has played re-ally good defense so far with Carly Crouch anchoring Zirrus formerly Yadtel in conjuction with the Davie County Enterprise Record Invite you to nominate an individual to be recognized as VETERAN OF THE MONTH A Veteran will be chosen from the entries and published in the Davie County Enterprise Record on the first Thursday of the month. sponsored by: Submit your nominationourdavie.com/veterans short and Abbey Lankford playing third,” coach Chris Callison said.

The seventh graders are Brylie Creel, Madison Daugherty, Raegan Davis, Riley Shortt, Lillyanne Simmons, Tolar and Miley Zamora. ND BaseballBrady Marshall drove in 10 runs in two games and Wesleyan and Summit had no chance against North Davie’s high-powered base-ball team. Marshall is having an incredible season. In a 14-3, five-inning win at Wesley-an Christian Academy on March 29, he went 2 for 3 with five RBIs, and that’s only half of it. In 2.1 relief innings, he struck out all seven batters he faced. “Marshall was an RBI machine,” coach Trevor Gooch said. Among the top hitters were Tanner Steinour (1-2, double, two RBIs), Jack Greer (1-2, double, two RBIs), Braxton Hunter (1-2, double) and Reynolds Tom-linson (1-2, double). Josh Whitaker pitched the first 2.2 innings, and Nathan Nuckols was the defensive player of the game at second. •••One day later, the Wild- cats clubbed visiting Sum-mit 16-1 in four innings. In order to build a 6-1-1 record with a series of wipeouts, you have to get contribu-tions from throughout the lineup. That’s what is hap-pening with North. In this one, Brice Wilson struck out eight of nine bat-ters in three innings of one-hit work. Reliever Ian Patton threw a perfect fourth. “Brice had a lively fast-ball,” Gooch said. Three Wildcats had two hits: Marshall (2-2, triple, five RBIs), Blake French Watch out: Ellis softball team tearing it up (2-4, double, two RBIs) and Hunter (2-2).

Wesley Mason (baseball)When you were growing up, what did you want to be? I really had no certain path. I had a feeling I wanted to play baseball in college, but that slowly went away. I knew in the end of my younger years that no matter what, I wanted to succeed in everything I did.The biggest pet peeve I have is when: I fail at a certain task that I know I can complete.If I could have one super power, it would be: The ability to have no injuries.What’s the funniest moment in your sports career? The many failed slides I have had diving back into first base or sliding into second. It turns into knees on the ground or a straight roll.What’s the proudest moment in your sports career? Drawing a leadoff walk and scoring the last run to beat West Forsyth at home my junior year. The atmosphere and crowd was an un-real experience.If you could turn back time and witness one event, what would it be? Seeing the look on everyone’s face af-ter that West Forsyth game mentioned above.Who is the funniest teammate? Bayden Hazlip has to be the funniest teammate I’ve ever had. His energy and the way he acts is just genuinely funny.Which teammate is happiest after a win? Daniel Lawson has to be the person who is most happy after any win. The guy knows a win is a win and his attitude after wins is pure.Hobbies: Of course, I love to play baseball but fishing, doing anything with my friends and playing video games have to be my top hobbies.Athletes I most admire: Any small athlete, especially pros who are small. Those guys make me so much more confident considering I’m not big myself. I admire my coach the most. Coach (Joey) Anderson is the epitome of hard work and the will to win.Interesting fact about myself: I am very fast. Most people know, but whenever I run I think no one is faster.What I like most about Davie High: Davie has a great atmosphere. The amount of help and advice you get from the teachers has done a lot of good for me.If I could do one thing better, it would be: I wish I could be less anxious. That is something that has always been a downside, but getting out of my own head has been my greatest task yet.Person I’d most like to meet (dead or alive): I wish I could see my Dad again. I lost him at 7 years old and a day doesn’t go by where I wish I could just talk to him one more time. To see how he would react to my actions and the person I’ve become so far in life.Fantasy job: I would love to some-how own a large business. The UFC has always sparked my interest, but any large scale business would be a true dream job.I can’t live without: I can’t live without my friends. In the lowest of lows, those guys have kept me on my feet. They know who they are. Post-high school ambition: Interna-tional business is what I will be majoring at Appalachian State University. I will see where that takes me.If you hit the lottery, what’s the first thing you’d do? Hitting the lottery would im-mediately be put into making more money, but I’ve always promised myself I would find a charity that means something to me and donate some money there.

No birds were harmed, the blooms were removed after the photograph. - Photos by Mike Barnhardt Spring Home & Garden Thursday, April 7, 2022 Page 1 There’s something I need to say right from the start.Calahaln Bootanical Gardens isn’t really in Calahaln.Close, but it’s not there. It’s beyond Calahaln - or be-fore you get to Calahaln - depending on your direction of travel. It’s called Calahaln to throw poachers off. You’ve heard of the witness protection program, there are things growing there that are in the plant protection program. Same idea.Don’t think botanical gardens, either. That’s where plants are neatly and correctly labled for visitors in the garden to identify and remember. There are things growing here that just can’t be identified. Although “bootanical” isn’t really a word, we don’t care. The “boo” part is that Calahaln Bootanical Gardens can become scary from time to time.For one thing, the main caretaker is yours truly. That’s scary enough.While strolling through the me-andering pathways, looking for that rare Major Allison hosta or the bear’s britches - that one’s just fun to name, sort of like the pussy willow - it seems that the only thing growing is empty beer cans, which are scattered about in no particular order. Ahh, if only that were true. If we could grow beer by simpling planting a seed and waiting for it to grow, chances are I wouldn’t be sitting at a computer typing out this column.And if there’s a full moon, watch out. The caretaker goes crazy during a full moon. No telling what chore he will be doing at what hour. He’s even been known to howl on occasion.But enough about the caretaker, Calahaln Bootanical Gardens is actually a pretty cool place.It all started when my wife, Polly, bought the place way back before I became the wannabe caretaker which was before I became the caretaker. She liked to work in the garden, as well, and had quite a good start on what would become the bootanical gardens.Then I came along. A gardener myself, I had what I considered - and still do - the best vegetable garden in Davie County. Unfortunately, the next owners didn’t have the same passion for growing things.Me and Polly became one and the bootanical gardens blossomed.We’ll never forget that day. The bootanical gardens were still young, but there were enough flowers and plants poking through the ground that we decided to get married in our backyard oasis. Mike Barnhardt A bee looks for pollen on a blueberry bloom; and Polly’s dad’s old Army boots add a whimsical ad- dition to a path-side thrift bed. The camellia, an anniversary gift from a friend, graces a corner of the house. Bear’s britches comes through the ground in front of the wood poppy, and narcissus poking through the ground is a sure sign that summer flowers will soon follow.

Our “wedding chapel” is still standing, but just barely. The wisteria we guided up the posts, covered with old porch columns, is about all that is holding the structure up these days. It’s a favorite spot for birds to rest and hide, but near a feeder and birdbath. We’ve counted more than 20 cardinals in the thing at one time. And the windows to the chapel, salvaged from a local church, have seen better days.But so have we.As we change, the garden changes. Sure, we’ve had our ups and downs, even a few fights over what to plant and where, but we came out stronger. Who can stay mad while working in the garden?Not us.She’s the brains, and I’m the brawn. No, I’m not strong. Brawn just means more physical ability than men-tal ability, so I certainly qualify there.For the most part, Polly decides what will be added to the gardens each year.

Here are three hacks that will help you create a healthy, comfortable home during the months ahead.Beat the HeatBeyond having your HVAC unit serviced and changing your air filter reg-ularly, you can beat the heat at home with a few smart strategies. One change you can make today that will also reduce your carbon foot-print is to swap out your heat-emitting incandescent light bulbs for cool LEDs. Likewise, appliances that are not in use but plugged in could be generating unnec-essary warmth, so unplug when you can. Finally, use shades and blinds strategi-cally to block out the sun and prevent a greenhouse effect indoors.Banish Flying BugsFruit flies, gnats and flies tend to proliferate indoors in the warmer months. Not only do these creatures come with a serious ick factor, they can harm your houseplants and even put your family’s health at risk by carrying germs from dirty surfaces to clean ones.A safe and easy way to defend against buzzing in-vaders is to plug Zevo Bug Traps into outlets around your home, especially in ar- eas where these bugs enter your home and gather, like garages, entryways, cov-ered porches, trash cans, drain pipes and kitchens. Rather than relying on chemical insecticides, they use multi-spectrum light technology that bugs find irresistible. Once attracted, flying insects are trapped in a super-sticky adhesive backing. Each trap cartridge offers continuous defense for up to 45 days or until it’s full. When you’re done with a cartridge, throw it in the trash and slide a new one in, without having to touch the dead bugs. Pair these traps with Zevo home bug sprays, which are powered by es-sential oils, for whole home protection. To learn more about defending your home against insects, and for trap-ping tips, visit zevoinsect.com.Master MoldThriving in warm wet environments, mold is something to watch out for at home, especially during spring and summer. Much more than an eyesore, mold is bad for your home’s infra-structure and bad for you. Mold can cause a number of allergic reactions and can sometimes even be toxic. However, you can reduce the risk of mold forming by managing your home’s humidity. Use fans and oth-er ventilation in bathrooms and the kitchen when show-ering, running the dishwash-er and doing other tasks that invite humidity. Test the hu-midity of various rooms in your home with a hygrom- eter and use a dehumidifier where needed. According to the EPA, the ideal indoor humidity is between 30 and 50%.Employing warm weath-er hacks at home can help you maintain clean, com-fortable spaces, all season long.Electronic bug traps can be used in the home. Hacks for a healthier home (StatePoint) Part of being a good environmental stew-ard is passing on wisdom to the next generation. Here are hands-on ways parents and grandparents can teach children to protect birds in their own backyard.Build a Bird FeederBuild bird feeders using natural or recycled materials to teach two earth-friendly lessons in one: the impor-tance of reducing waste and the need to take care of local wildlife. Bird feeders can be crafted from milk cartons, tin cans, jars or natural ma-terials like pinecones. Talk to kids about how birds are not just beautiful, but a vi-tal part of the ecosystem and how you are offering these creatures a chance to rest and refuel. Experts recommend bird feeders be positioned either closer than three feet or farther than 30 feet from windows.Protect FlightBirds in flight are prone to strike windows. Fortu-nately, there’s an easy home project you and children can complete together that will help prevent this. Applying decals that reflect ultravio-let sunlight to windows that are highly reflective of open sky, has been proven to re-duce the likelihood of bird strikes. Keep a LogNow that you’ve invit-ed birds to your yard and have taken steps to protect them, inspire young natu-ralists to keep a log of fly-ing visitors. Kids can draw pictures of the birds they see and note their observations. Visit Audubon for Kids at audubon.org for a birding guide, activities, games and additional projects that can help kids learn to identify various bird species by sight and sound.

Biologists and other sci-entists commonly refer to invasions by non-native plants as one of the most serious problems facing na-tive plant and wildlife popu-lations in the United States. But how do these inva-sions occur? What is a na-tive plant and what isn’t? Native plants are defined as any plants that occurred in North America before Eu-ropean settlement. Non-na-tive plants, are those not originally located in North America or in a specific re-gion, like North Carolina. In North Carolina, there are many non-native plants from Asia or western Eu-rope because these regions have similar climates and environmental conditions to those found in the state.While some non-natives have ended up here acci-dentally, we brought most of them here oon purpose. Many non-native species were brought here for use as ornamental, lawn, and garden plants. They were chosen for their attractive-ness and hardiness. Some of these non-natives have been here so long we don’t even realize they are not native. Callery ‘Bradford’ pear, Chinese privet, Japanese Honeysuckle, and Queen Anne’s lace have become such common sights that we tend to think of these plants as native, but they aren’t. Other plants, such as multiflora rose, bicolor les-pedeza, and autumn olive were even introduced for the purpose of promoting “wildlife habitat”. However, each introduction has prov-en detrimental in some ways to North Carolina’s native plants and wildlife. Native plants are better for native wildlife. Over thousands of years, native plants and animals have evolved together. Nat-ural checks and balances de-veloped in the environment, reducing the chance that a single plant species will increase in number to the point where it dominates a plant community. Compet-itors, diseases, and insects control a plant’s growth and dispersal throughout the na-tive range. KWithout natural checks, non-native plants can be-come invasive. The same characteristics that make many non-native plants at-tractive in urban landscapes – colorful berries, pest re-sistance, and tolerance to harsh conditions – make them difficult to contain. Non-native plants that are attractive to birds and other wildlife are often the most invasive because animals serve as great dispersers of fruits and seeds, often mov-ing the seeds great distances away from where the fruits were eaten. When a non-native spe-cies becomes “naturalized,” or when that plant is able to survive, spread, and repro-duce on its own, it can in-vade the native habitat and crowd out native species. Approximately 25% of the plants growing wild in the United States are natu-ralized non-natives, some of which have become inva-sive, growing uncontrolled where native plants other-wise would occur. Native fruit-producing plants may succumb to the competition from this type of invasive non-native, thereby reduc-ing the diversity of foods available to birds and other wildlife.Native plants are never invasive. The term invasive applies only to non-native plants and not to native plants; invasive implies a negative effect on native plants and animals. On the other hand, native plants that establish quickly in your garden and spread readily are more appropri-ately termed “aggressive”. Aggressive native plants generally are species adapt-ed to recently disturbed sites where they establish and spread quickly but give way to other native plants within a few years. Invasive plants can be at-tractive to wildlife, but not good for them. Non-native fruits, while attractive to wildlife, may not provide the best nutrition for na-tive wildlife. Areas covered with only a few invasive, non-native plant species can be harmful because habitats with low plant diversity are poor for wildlife. New evidence from the mid-western United States indicates birds that nest in some non-native shrubs experience poor nesting success. Lower nest height, the absence of sharp thorns on non-native plants, and different branching patterns can allow predators easi-er access to nests built in non-native plants. Not all non-native plants are invasive. There are many non-native plants that do not become invasive, and many can safely be planted in your landscape. Howev-er, it takes scientists many years or even decades to fully understand a non-na-tive plant’s potential inva-siveness. New information is being gathered, and you should check with your lo-cal nature center, botani- cal garden, or Cooperative Extension agent to find out about a plant’s invasiveness before introducing it to your property. There are a number of plants that we already know are invasive and that pose the greatest risk to the na-tive plants and animals of North Carolina. Yet despite the growing base of knowl-edge related to the poten-tial problems of non-native plants, species like saw-tooth oak continue to be recommended as plantings to encourage wildlife. Until adequate information on the invasiveness of such plants exists, native alternatives should be used.Read more at: https://wildlifefriendlylandscapes.ces.ncsu.edu/why-land-scapes-for-wildlife/inva-sive-species/.

Seminar to focus on spring, summer lawn maintenance StatePoint) When it comes to home design, farmhouse style represents an intersection of beauty and practicality, making it no surprise that many are embracing this traditional look. Whatever architec-tural style your home is, adding key design elements can help you get in on best aspects of the farmhouse trend. • Adding a front porch or expanding an existing porch will not only add charming farmhouse-style curb ap-peal, but extend your out-door living area. Take as much care decorating your porch as you would any other room. Include com-fy furniture, like rocking chairs and a porch swing, complete with cushions. Add potted plants for vi-brant greenery, lantern wall sconces for illumination, and rugs for coziness. Don’t forget the entryway. Make it more inviting with seasonal wreaths and a cheerful wel-come mat.• Imparting a rustic, hand-made quality to any home, even those built-in contem-porary styles, “board ‘n bat-ten” is a centuries-old siding design that encapsulates the appeal of farmhouse-style homes. The term “batten” refers to the strip of mold- ing placed across the joint between boards. The result-ing look boasts an attractive geometry of strong vertical lines balanced by a sense of texture across the horizontal face. • There’s a reason metal roofing plays prominently into the design of authentic farmhouses - they are built to last. Offering color re-tention, reliability, energy efficiency and environmen-tal friendliness, architec-tural-grade metal shingle roofing is an upgrade that can add beauty and value to your home. • Restyle your home’s interior to be farmhouse-in-spired with a few renova-tions. Classic looks include neutral walls, such as matte shades of beige, grays and creams, shabby chic fur-niture -- think wicker, dis-tressed wood and reclaimed lumber -- and hardwood flooring. Consider dusting off a few hand-me-downs or visiting antique shops and estate sales for one-of-a-kind finds. Above all, be sure to prioritize comfort, warmth, and practicality.To embrace everything that a home should be - an inviting place to gather with friends and family - add farmhouse-style touches to your home, indoors and out.

Alene made her home on County Home Road of Davie Coun-ty and had been a faithful member of First Alliance Church of Winston-Salem for many years. She en-joyed spending time with family; especially husband Tom, who preceded her in death, and her siblings and daughter Karla and family. A service celebrating her life will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday at Lambert Funer-al Home Chapel preceded by visitation at 10 a.m.; in-terment will follow the ser-vice at Westlawn Gardens of Memory of Clemmons.
