The changes are for the safety of staff and visitors and to help property maintain the cemetery, said Chris Vaughn, the town’s parks and grounds director.The most significant change involves the types of remem-brances that may be placed at a grave during the high main-tenance season. From March 21 until the week of Thanksgiving, only floral arrangements placed in a vase permanently affixed to a grave marker will be allowed. Other floral arrangements, toys, balloons, and other items are prohibited and will be re-moved. Since grounds mainte-nance is minimal from the last week of November to February each year, additional seasonal arrangements will be allowed during that time.“We aren’t doing this to be insensitive or disrespectful to anyone’s family members. We are doing this to make the graveyard as presentable as possible to honor those who have gone on before us,” Vaughn said..The Parks and Grounds de-partment mows, trims, and blows grass and debris off of every gravestone each week. Walking through the cemetery, he pointed out some issues im-peding their efforts. “Here is a plot we haven’t been able to trim around be-cause if we hit one of these flowers, it will become 25 piec-es to pick up instead of one.” Keeping it clean Town taking steps to ensure safe, orderly Rose Cemetery Please See Rose - Page 4 By Mike BarnhardtEnterprise Record The industrial solar industry isn’t something Davie County needs or wants.Despite that opinion, mem-bers of the county’s planning board re-wrote the county’s ordinance regulating solar, and those recommendtions were approved by county commis-sioners last month.It makes a large-scale solar facility less likely to happen here.“Further solar in Davie County is not beneficial, and gives us substantial risks,” Miriam Wright, planning board chair, told county commission-ers.She gave some statistics from the solar facilities already approved: $140,000 provided for some $9 million in de-com-missioning costs; 8 facilities changed ownership more than 50 times, all have changed ownership at least once.“The real concern is that it creates a huge lack of confi-dence in respect to their mo-tives and to their long-term commitment to Davie County,” she said.Decommissioning contracts only show ownership on three of five solar sites, and on those three, the landowner is respon-sible for the cost of decommis-sioning. She wonders if the landowners even know that, or could provide the money. “That tenancy ownership with decommissioning costs gives substantial financial risks to the county.”If nothing else, the coun-ty’s ordinance should provide for the decommissioning costs (estitmated at $115 per mega-watt), and require a risk benefit Just say no County puts restrictions on big solar Please See Solar - Page 4 2 ‑ DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Aug. 4, 2022Editorial Page In The Mail ...

I am doing my best to daily practice love, acceptance, and forgiveness. It is a difficult challenge sometimes, and that is why it was a commandment, not an option. If it was easy, everyone would do it, right?I have learned over the past few years that many of us do not really understand how our government works and so please indulge me as I remind those folks that the federal government, as set up by the founders, is three co-equal branches of government, our Executive Branch is the President, the Legislative Branch is Congress, and the Judicial Branch is the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS). The founders spelled out the roles and responsibilities to prevent tyranny by unscrupulous people, before there was a two-party system and before there were Republicans.If the President abuses power, the House of Representatives in Congress can impeach that person, and if the Senate agrees, that President can be removed from office. If that fails to happen, the President’s own Cabinet can use the power in the 25th Amendment to have the President removed. That Amendment was created after the assassination of President Kennedy so the Vice President could assume the duties of President. The US Constitution is a living document designed to evolve with the times. All of those safeguards depend upon integrity, commitment to the US Constitution’s protection, and courageous, accurately informed citizens actively holding their elected officials accountable. Today, we need this living US Constitution to reflect the majority opinion of Americans. Sadly, too many people think that our US Constitution is set in stone, and that is simply not true. The wise founders knew that times would change in ways they could not anticipate, and the guidelines for this experiment in democracy would require amending. Prohibition of alcohol was the 18th Amendment to the US Constitution and it set off one of the most violent periods in our nation’s history 1920-1933, when gangsters got into the alcohol business and killed anyone who threatened their business. We The People responded by reversing that Constitutional Amendment and legalizing the sale of alcohol for human consumption. Look it up if you do not believe me. When we know better, we do better.As I have written before, being divisive is an ancient war strategy to divide and conquer, and is not in the best interests of We The People. So when our elected officials have nothing to offer, no positive plans or intentions, and resort to demonizing others, I cannot support them. Because I know that the US Constitution depends upon an active, and accurately informed citizenry, I research the issues instead of accepting one source of news, and write to our elected officials when I think something is important. Our elected officials should be held accountable by We The People.Recently I wrote to our US elected officials, and as usual, Senator Burr and Rep. Budd did not bother to acknowledge me, but Senator Tillis did. In short, this is what I wrote to him after receiving his letter: “When I wrote you about my distress regarding SCOTUS and No. 39’s irrational decision to rule against the EPA, you replied that you supported that decision as “reigning in Federal overreach by unelected bureaucrats” which is nonsense. Our US Congress established the EPA to protect our environment and nation’s health from polluters and climate change because that requires scientific research to establish appropriate policies and enforce them. The Congress appropriately delegated that responsibility to the EPA since they are lawmakers, not environmentalists. I asked Senator Tillis to stop his deceptive propaganda of blaming either the Federal Government, of which he is a member, or the Democrats, and begin serving the needs and concerns of his constituents who need clean air, clean water, reductions in carbon dioxide, affordable and accessible healthcare and medication, human rights and bodily autonomy regardless of gender, race and religion, a living wage, affordable childcare, and a fair immigration policy. Partisan politics has created gridlock in Congress making it impossible for them to actually serve the people who elected our Senators and Representative. Congress must start working across the aisles or We The People will suffer more.Bonnie D. ClarkHarmony Tiger LiliesBy Julie Terry CartnerTears held fiercely in abeyance, Jodi slipped quietly into the patch of woods that separated the field from her grandmother’s house. Torn between anger and sadness, Jodi focused on the anger to keep the tears in check. She and her friends had been having such fun until the boys wanted to play kickball. Jodi hated kickball, but she was determined to be a good sport. That was, until she missed the one ball that had come her way far out in the field. John, one of her teammates had jeered at her. “You’re no good freckle-face. Why don’t you go home?” Then he added, “Maybe your freckles covered your eyes, and you can’t see. I’m glad I don’t have any freckles!”Embarrassed and angry, Jodi was sure the boy would next tease her about her blush, and so, when nobody was looking her way, she escaped. Now, in the relative coolness of the woods, she climbed her favorite tree, a linden with strong branches and thick leaves. Only then did she let the tears flow. Stupid freckles, she thought. I hate them. Resting against the trunk, she closed her eyes and let her mind drift.“You shouldn’t be ashamed of your freckles,” a voice spoke firmly, “after all, look at us.”Jodi opened her eyes, not knowing what to expect, but was completely taken by surprise when, at first, she saw nothing. “Who’s there?” she asked.“Look down here,” came the prompt response.Peering down through the branches, Jodi saw the flowers, the tiger lilies, which normally resided beside her grandmother’s stone wall, but now they were surrounding her tree. At first shocked into speechlessness, she could only gape, then, finally finding her voice, she asked the obvious. “How did you get over here, and can you actually talk? How can that be?”“First, let me tell you a story. A legend from Korea says the tiger lily was created by a mystic who removed an arrow from a tiger. They became friends and when the tiger died, the hermit transformed his body into a tiger lily to preserve their friendship. Later the mystic drowned, and the tiger lily spread down the stream looking for his friend. It has since spread all over the world as a symbol of their friendship. Flowers and people can have a strong bond.“There are many things most people don’t understand. It takes a very special person to be able to hear the voice of a flower. You, child, are one of the special ones.” Seeing the girl smile, the flower continued. “Now, I want to ask a question of you. You often sit on that stone wall and just look at us. And sometimes, when it hasn’t rained, you give us water. Is that because you hate us or think we’re ugly?”“No, of course not, the girl protested. I think you are the most beautiful flowers.”“Why?” came the quick retort.“Well,” the girl replied, “I love your bright orange petals and your black spots. Lots of flowers are orange, but only you have those bold, black spots.”“Exactly!” the flower smiled. Now, let me be your mirror. You are like us with your beautiful spots. Every freckle is a place where the sun has kissed you.”Seeing Jodi’s disbelieving look, he continued. Legend says that if you have freckles, it’s because you smelled a tiger lily. Are you sorry you have enjoyed our scent?”“Of course not,” Jodi vehemently denied. But must I have freckles?“Look at it this way,” the flower continued. “You like me for what I am, right? And we wouldn’t be what we are without the black spots, our freckles, right?” Getting another nod of agreement, he kept talking. “Your freckles make you unique, just like us. Besides, tiger lilies are believed to provide protection from harm and evil. That’s one reason people plant them around their houses. They also represent nobility and pride, and in Buddhist cultures, they represent mercy and compassion. You, my child, are a human tiger lily. Wear your spots proudly. Understand that you are special, just like us. And most importantly, instead of being angry at those boys, who just don’t know any better, be compassionate to them. Show them mercy. One day they’ll understand just how extraordinary you are. Crossing RiversBy Marie CraigWhen we zoom across a bridge in Davie County with water underneath, we don’t give it a second thought. We take this transportation construction for granted. However, previous to the 1920s, travelers wanting to cross the Yadkin River had to depend upon ferries.There are several photographs of these ferries from that historic time. The Internet has a few identified pictures with descriptions. Using www.newspapers.com and searching for “Mocksville” and “ferry” gave me 290 interesting articles. The ferry with several descriptions in The Davie Record was Ellis’ Ferry. It was slightly northeast of the community of Elbaville. 7 December 1910: “Mrs. W.R. Ellis of My dad remembered when NC 801 was a dirt road, even at the intersection with US 158. When he died in 2004, that intersection was a bustling multi-lane road with a stoplight and businesses at every corner, even nearby shopping centers.That’s a major change for one lifetime.I remember when I-40 ended as motorists entered Davie County, when the only real subdivision of houses was in Mocksville, and it was new and different. Now, there are so many housing developments it boggles the mind. I-40 stretches through the county, and almost all roads are paved.And busy.That’s a lot of change for one lifetime.It makes you wonder what Davie County will look like when our young people of today reach their golden years. I don’t see how anyone can predict that far ahead. It will be different, for sure.Looking back, it seems that each generation wants the same thing. They want a better life for themselves and their children. Politics may differ, religions may differ, lifestyles may differ - but they all want the same thing. A better life.My parents were no different. Dad actually got a job, working for the state highway department. A real job. Don’t get me wrong, he was no slouch (Some of his cronies from back then may disagree.), but public jobs weren’t that common as he grew up. Farm boys stayed on the farm - or started their own - and worked to provide for their families.I think it was probably obvious that dad was no farmer. He could do the work, he knew what to do, but farming just wasn’t his thing. He chose hanging out with his brother “Chick” at his garage, working on cars and small engines. It was there where he was rescued by the kindest man I have ever known, Roy Williams. A department of transportation supervisor, he knew dad’s skills as a mechanic and welder would come in handy. He provided a place for us to live, and dad with a job - and a best friend.At the same time, mom also entered the workplace, in one of the few jobs open to women at the time - working in a sewing factory, making this garment or that under conditions that probably are outlawed today, literally working for pennies.They worked because they wanted us to have a better life. And in just about every way imaginable, we did.By the time my generation entered the workplace, few were farmers, and if there were any subsistence farmers like my dad’s family, they were more likely to be hippies than country boys. Also, factories and businesses and all sorts of job opportunities opened up for us.We took full advantage of those opportunities. People have been successful in any occupation you can think of. New schools were built. New hospitals were built. Road systems were improved. Communication systems have improved so much that it has changed our lifestyles (I’m still trying to figure out if this one is good or bad, but one thing is for sure, the world at your fingertips is here to stay.).Sure, there are always bumps and bruises along the way. Each generation experiences them. But time moves on.No matter what Davie County looks like in 50 years, I’m confident it will be the same. It will be filled with people who care about their families, and will do what they can to make a better life for themselves and their families.What more could we want?And after hearing from three young people recently named ambassadors by the Davie Respect Initiative, I’ll bet that Davie County, in 50 years, will be good. Very good. Families will still flock here, seeking that better life.After all, it will still be Davie County.Our home.- Mike Barnhardt DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Aug. 4, 2022 - 3 Presidential sites Renegade ... By Betty Etchison WestFor the Enterprise Harry Truman, a Sena-tor from Missouri, strongly supported President Frank-lin D. Roosevelt’s key programs. That is proba-bly why Roosevelt chose Truman to run with him as vice president in the 1944 campaign. The Roosevelt/Truman ticket won, and President Roosevelt began his fourth term on Jan. 20, 1945. On April 12, 1945, Mrs. Roosevelt called Tru-man to the White House. On his arrival there, Mrs. Roosevelt said, “The Pres-ident is dead.” Mr. Tru-man said, “What can I do for you, Mrs. Roosevelt?” She said, “What can I do for you? You are the one in trouble now.” Mr. Harry S. Truman was inaugurated as the 33rd President of the United States that same day, April 12, 1945, in the cabinet room at the White House.Harry Truman was born in Lamar, Mo., on May 8, 1884. He graduated from high school, but did not go to college. He wanted to go to the U.S. Military Acad-emy at West Point, but his eyesight was so poor that he could not pass the exam-ination. Truman stayed on the farm and self-educated himself by reading biog-raphies, histories, and a wide range of other books. Working on the farm taught Harry about hard work, a lesson he never forgot. While Truman was still at Advance put in a new ferryboat at the Old Ellis ferry the past week.” In the same newspaper edition: “The new boat at Ellis’ ferry is a dandy, and is ready for business.” 13 September 1911: “Mrs. Jessie Zimmerman, Ollie Hege and a Miss Fry will be baptized at Ellis Ferry Sept. 17th at 3 o’clock.” The approximate latitude and longitude of the location of Ellis ferry is (35.920, -80.372). [You can type these numbers into an online map site and see the location.] J.T. (John Thomas) Alderman (26 June 1953 - 12 April 1932) was the superintendent of Davie schools from 1885 to 7 September 1891, and in 1887, he compiled a map of our county. Included are landowners, schools, communi-ties, fords, creeks, and 12 ferries. Wilson F. Merrell (29 November 1850 - 21 June 1931) was a teacher in Davie schools for 62 years. He was also a county and Fork Baptist Church historian, a postmas-ter, and a merchant in Fork Church. He drew a map in 1928 similar to Alderman’s. His map includes nine ferries. [These two maps are for sale in the History Room at Davie County Public Library.]The Hillsdale area was previously named Hall’s Ferry for the ferry which transported people, buggies, horses, and livestock between Davie County and Forsyth County. These ferries were state regulated with standard costs for services. For example, a man and a horse in 1848 cost 6 ¼ cents for crossing the water.There is a ferry on the northeast edge of North Carolina that I was pleased to ride a few years ago. We were able to exit the car and enjoy the beautiful ride from Currituck to Knotts Island. About 1980, my family was on a trip in central US using back roads for interest. We came to a riv-er which used a ferry for crossing. The water was not very wide, but it was a very swift current. The ferry was only wide enough for one car, so we had to stay seated inside. The ferryman took us across the swift water and aimed for the exit point upstream because the current pushed the ferry sideways. My husband had been driving when we entered, and without realizing it, he was turning the steer-ing wheel to help guide the ferry to land at the right place. We all had a good laugh about that. President Harry Truman holds a newspaper falsely proclaiming his opponent had won the election, and acknowledging a crowd with wife Bess. the farm, he joined the Na-tional Guard—it is said that he memorized the eye chart so he could get in. When World War I began, Har-ry’s unit was mobilized. He went through more train-ing and gained the rank of captain. His unit was sent to Europe, and Harry Tru-man ended up in the heavy fighting. He survived and received the rank of major. From the time that he was in elementary school or before, Harry Truman had eyes for one little blond-haired girl, Bess Wallace. The whole time Harry was in Europe, they correspond-ed. After he returned home, they were married and moved into the house with Bess’s mother at 223 N. Main St. in Independence, Mo. Harry became a Judge, the person in Jackson County who was the over-seer of roads, bridges, etc. Harry was successful Judge and caught the attention of a powerful politician. That story ends with Harry Tru-man being elected as one of Missouri’s U.S. Senators. His success as a Senator contributed to Truman be-ing chosen to run as vice president in 1944.Truman was not wide-ly known when he became President, but he took the reins with confidence. The American people soon learned that Harry S. Tru-man was a man of the people, who had a lot of common sense. After com-pleting Roosevelt’s term, Truman won the nomi- nation as the Democratic candidate for president in the 1948 election. All the pundits thought that Tom Dewey, the Republican candidate, would win. They were all shocked when Tru-man won. Now Truman is ranked as one of the top 10 presidents in ratings by America’s historians.There are five places connected to Harry Tru-man that are open to the public: his birthplace in Lamar, Mo.; the farmhouse where he lived for several years while he worked on his father’s farm, at 12301 Blue Ridge Blvd. in Grand-view, Mo.; the house at 223 North Main in Inde-pendence, which was his home from the time he and Bess got married on June 28, 1919, until his death on Dec. 26, 1972; the Little White House Museum at 111 Front St., Key West, Fla., which Truman used as his get-away place while president; and the Harry S. Truman Library and Muse-um near the Truman Home at 500 West, Highway 24, Independence. The house where Harry was born is furnished with furniture of the 1882-1885 period, but it is not furni-ture that belonged to the Truman family. The same is true concerning the Tru-man Farm house. There is one item in the farmhouse, however, which was trea-sured by Truman’s mother. That is her piano which she was determined to keep as the family moved from place to place. The house at North Main in Independence is the place, which Harry and Bess Truman always considered home, and it is probably the Truman site most visited. No matter how far away the Trumans roamed, they were always anxious to get back there. That house is a delight to visit because everything there belonged to Mr. and Mrs. Truman. Some of it is worn, but it has been left right where the Trumans left it. For example, Mr. Truman’s hat, which he put on every day when he went for a walk, is still hanging by the door, and his pile of books remains beside his favorite chair. The house has such a homey feel that you almost expect Mr. Tru-man to walk in the door or you expect to find Mrs. Truman entertaining her friends at the bridge table on the screened porch.Visitors are not allowed upstairs. When the Nation-al Park Service took over the house, they did so with the understanding that the second floor would be re-served in case the Trumans’ daughter, Margaret, want-ed to stay there. The North Street House is open daily except on some holidays.The Harry S. Truman Presidential Library and Museum is within walk-ing distance of the Truman Home. During the plan-ning and construction as well as when the Library was completed, the former president went to the site each day. That Presidential Library is outstanding for people interested in history because it has a great deal of history about World War I and World War II as well as information about Harry Truman and his family. The former president, Harry S. Truman, and his wife, Bess, are buried at the Library. That seems like the perfect place for them to have been laid to rest because they both loved In-dependence. Harry Truman died on Dec. 26, 1972, and his wife, Bess, who lived 10 years after her hus-band’s death, died on Oct. 18, 1982. Another place connected to the 33rd president is the place that he escaped to re-lax while he was President. Mr. Truman spent 175 days there during the almost eight years as President. He enjoyed playing cards with friends on what is called the poker porch, which also had a bar, which no doubt provided the refreshment required by those who were so tired from playing cards. That house now looks like it did when Mr. Truman and his friends spent time there with its floral upholstered furniture which gives the place an airy feel. That was Mr. Truman’s get away”-place; his wife and daugh-ter only visited there a few times. There are copies of letters on display at the Lit-tle White House and Mu-seum in at Key West that Mr. Truman wrote his wife when she was not with him.It is about 950 miles to Independence, Mo., from Mocksville, and about the same distance to Key West, so to visit any site connect-ed to Truman, a Mocks-villian will have to travel a fairly long distance, but those really interested in presidential history will find either the trip to Mis-souri or Florida quite re-warding. Birthday MemoriesBy Gaye HootsThis week I celebrated my 77th birthday; life is still good, and so are most of my memories. I spent the first 17 years of my life in Advance as Gaye Hoots, where we lived with my paternal grandparents, Jasper and Maude Hoots, on a farm overlooking the Yadkin River. Life was good; there were horses, pigs, cows, dogs, and cats, and I had free rein with Grandpa, who spent most of his time with me. He had the reputation of being a strict disciplinar-ian, but with me, he was more of a partner in crime.For the next 6 or 7 years, we lived at the Marchmont on 1000 acres that I never tired of exploring. The house had over 12 large rooms built after the Civil War but was a plantation-style home that the March family had built. Our family had increased by 2, a sister 2 years younger and a brother 6 years younger. There were many neighbors and family friends who made life even better; they visited often, and we played for hours. We worked with others on the farm and made many school friends. My parents worked hard and expected us to also, but they were always open to having friends and family visit.Our next move was to the farm in Advance where my sister and her husband live. My dad purchased it, but it was previously owned by Anderson Potts. We left the dairy farm but took a Jersey cow I milked twice daily until I was 17. We grew more tobacco, and I completed 3 years of high school. I played basketball through my junior year, which was my primary interest, but at the end of my ju-nior year and 2 days after my 17th birthday, I married Roy Potts.I finished high school with my class and entered the working world on the last day of my senior year as a tell-er in Cooleemee for the summer. A job followed this in the bookkeeping department at a bank in Winston, where I worked until our first child was arrived, a little girl born when I was 6 months pregnant and weighing 1 lb. 11 oz. She survived only 24 hours and is buried beside Roy at Advance Methodist Church. My next job was at Hanes in the computer department, where those first computers were room-sized. This lasted until I became pregnant with Cami, and my doctor told me it was unsafe to work. I was confined to home except for doctor visits until she was born. We started building the house that Scott Chandler now lives in then and completed it when Kendra was born 2 years later. When the girls were 5 and 7 years old, Roy and I di-vorced, and I worked as a teacher’s aide at Shady Grove. Ellen Schroeder was the special ed teacher there, and she taught me lessons about a child’s most basic needs. She accepted each child regardless of how difficult they were to handle, their poor hygiene, their ability to learn, or their treatment of other children. The lessons I learned working with Ellen were more valuable to me than what I learned in the next several years as I completed a 2-year nursing degree, a BS in nursing, and an MSN in nursing. It shaped my decision to become a psychiatric nurse and made me more accepting of those who were struggling with issues beyond their control.One of my professors told our class that if we chose nursing expecting appreciation, we would be disappoint-ed. Surprisingly, most of my patients expressed appreci-ation. Sadly, the working conditions have deteriorated, and it is challenging to balance work assignments. There are still no limits on how many patients a nurse can be assigned. The last 2 years with COVID patients made it even more unsafe. I have been retired for many years, but Kendra is a nurse, and Cami is a PA, so I still have my finger on the pulse of nursing. I loved my work and most of my coworkers, but it was a challenge then, and a greater challenge now.My granddaughter has chosen a career working with autistic children, so it appears we all like a challenge and the rewards that come when you feel you have made a difference in someone’s life. Most of my memories are sweet, and I was fortunate to have good family, schools, churches, and a loving community. Some memories are painful, but we all must live with them. I am grateful for all the opportunities I have had and all the help I have had along the way. Truman sites: Independence, Mo. to Key West, Fla.

Then we had a mutual friend who happened to be one the attorneys working on this that connected us to everyone. And that’s kind of how we got here. “And this is perfect for us, because Hannah grew up here and went to school here 20 years ago and we wanted to Continued From Page B1analysis.Andy Baccus, Nick Slogick, Dr. Bonnie Grigsby and Herb Eckerland all spoke in favor of the stricter ordinance.Eckerland, an N.C. State professor who has studied and been a proponent of solar engergy for many years, agreed with Wright that the way solar companies operate is wrong.“Solar energy is very inefficient, 75 times more than coventional,” he said. “These LLCs (solar companies), means they are not personally responsible for debts and liabilities. That bothers me, even as a solar proponent. Why should you commit your county for 30 years with someone who is gone in three. What are you going to do when a solar developer walks away without notice? What if it is sold to someone who is only in business for tax credits and know nothing about solar? I’m concerned about that.”“The planning board has done a wonderful job of digging into these ... Bernie Madoff kind of deals,” Slogick said. “It’s not a farm, it’s an industrial wasteland.”“Davie County has enough solar,” Grigsby said. “There’s a problem that needs to be addressed, and you’re addressing it.” The county was wise to quit listening to solar developers when writing ordinances, she said. “Require strigent financial commitments before OKing solar You will protect fugture generations from the costly mistakes of industrial solar development.”Baccus has a hands-on experience, having questioned the county’s approval of a 50-acre solar site near his Pudding Ridge home. “Now, before the project is even built, I understand it is on its third owner. We can’t find anyone who can make a decision. We have no idea of what is happening with the project.”Mark Hager said that solar facilities are one way for farmers to hold onto their land as farming becomes less profitable. The new rules, he said, takes an option away that farmers need. The new rules include - in addition to more stringent setback requirements - that solar companies must do an enviornmental impact analysis and obtain all state permits before making an application with the county. Decisions would have to go through at least two planning board, and two county commission meetings. The company would also have to notify the county of each ownership change, including contact numbers.The rules were approved on a 4-1 vote, with Benita Finney voting against it.“The use of farmland for solar farms is not the only terrible use of farmland in Davie County,” Finney said. “The next time someone comes in and tries to cover up farmland with concrete and warehouses, I hope you support that, as well.” The new rules, she said, take landowner rights out of the equation.Commissioners’ discussion then switched to protecting farmers, with Mark Jones suggesting the county look at creative ways to provide tax help to certain generational landowners.Poindexter also said he didn’t believe in taking away rights for farmers, but voted in favor of the ordinance. “We’ve narrowed what they can do with their land to be able to live out the rest of their lives in comfort.”Terry Renegar said that while he is in favor of landowner rights, he questions the emphasis on solar energy. “The long term benefits of solar, I just don’t see it for the greater good. I don’t see how we need any more. If the science gets refined, more efficient, we could revisit it. I just don’t see it being viable.”Jones made the motion for approval. “Let’s move with this. It’s a good step, but we may have to revisit this in a year or so.” Solar ... SMITH GROVEFarmers Market Every Saturday • May – October • 1-3:30 PM Smith Grove UMC 3492 U.S. Hwy. 158 • Mocksville, NC 27028 Products from local Farmers and Artisans Visit with Community Agencies on-site each week Food Vendors • Musicians • Kids Activities (Tobacco and Alcohol Free Campus) DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Aug. 4, 2022 - 5 This is the fifth in a series highlighting the people behind the named scholarships administered by the Davie Community Foundation. Three people involved in student athletics have respective scholarships focused on recognizing students involved in high school sports because of the dedication required to play a sport and be good student. “Members of the Class of 2022 are preparing to leave for college with an investment from these scholarships and will hopefully continue the dedication to excellence they exhibited in high school,” said Jane Simpson, president and CEO of the foundation.The following information is included with the student scholarship contracts. “We believe young people need to know something about the people for whom their scholarships are named. Hopefully, they will feel even more motivated to succeed,” she said. Daric BeiterDaric Beiter was a loving husband, brother, son, friend, teacher, and to countless young people, coach. Thanks to the vision and generosity of wife Michelle and his community, Daric will always be remembered in Davie County. In December 2011, “The Extra Mile, Daric Beiter Scholarship” was opened at the Davie Community Foundation. Because of Daric’s love for running, a 5k fundraiser was planned for the spring with proceeds added to the scholarship.Daric Beiter was a beloved history teacher and track and cross-country coach at Davie County High School. Daric died on his 37th birthday, leaving a shocked family and community. According to then Davie High principal Jeff Wallace: “We lost a track coach and a teacher, but more importantly, a guy the kids could truly relate to. When he got 70 to 80 kids out for cross-country, I knew they were there for some other reason than just to run.” Shawn Rider, a student teacher, and assistant track coach when Daric died said Daric lived his life to serve others.Daric encouraged his students to “go the extra mile,” and through his scholarship fund, he will do just that by helping young people continue their education. Daric is missed by all who knew him, but his legacy lives on as he helps Davie High students long into the future. Ron KirkRon Kirk had an impressive record as the North Davie Middle School wrestling coach. He coached young men for 31 years with 15 perfect seasons and 16 unbeaten seasons. More important than success on the wrestling mat was the success he had in shaping the lives of the young men who wrestled for him at North Davie Middle School. The scholarship in Ron’s memory is a testament to the impact he had on young people. The scholarship was started by a young man who wrestled for Coach Kirk, Lt. Kevin Robinson, Scholarships have been established at the Davie Community Foundation in memory of former coaches, Angie Slabach, Ron Kirk and Daric Beiter.The legacy of these coaches/mentors lives on US Coast Guard. He wanted to start something that would remember Ron Kirk and celebrate the life of a wonderful coach and mentor. The Coach Ron Kirk Memorial Scholarship is awarded to a football player or wrestler who exhibits the qualities Kirk sought to instill in young people, dedication, perseverance, and teamwork. Angie Slabach Angie Slabach had tireless energy for her family, her sports, and her faith. A former Davie High athlete and girls basketball coach, she made an impact on the game, being selected for the Davie Hall of Fame. Angie graduated Davie High in 1984 and played basketball with UNC Wilmington and High Point University. She coached the War Eagle girls from 1988-1994.She excelled in all areas of her life. She is remembered for more than athletics. Friends said of Angie that by living an inspired life of faith, she was able to touch the lives of others on many different levels. Angie sadly lost her three-year battle with breast cancer in 2013. She left a wonderful legacy that continues to bring joy to her children, her family, and her community.To learn more, contact Simpson at (336) 753-6903 or jsimpson@daviefoundation.org or visit www.daviefoundation.org.

Lynne, Director of Coin and Cur- rency for National Mint and Treasury. That’s because North Carolina res- idents who BNA1161 listed in today’s publication are getting Sealed Vault Bricks containing the only North Car- olina State Gold Bank Rolls known to exist each loaded with rarely seen U.S. Gov’t issued Buffalo Nickels layered in valuable 24 Karat Gold. This is all hap- pening because thousands of U.S. res- idents stand to miss the deadline to claim the gold. Now any resident who BNA1161 listed in today’s publication and calls to verify it gets to claim the Gold Vault Bricks for themselves and keep all the valuable gold found inside. And here’s the best part. North Car- olina residents can really cash in for the next 48 hours. That’s because non- state residents and those who miss the 48-hour deadline must pay $8 per coin, but North Carolina residents who take the Vault Bricks cover just the $4 per coin state minimum. That means North Carolina residents get all 125 coins with rare 24 Karat Gold Layering for just $500 which is a real steal since non- state residents must pay over $1,000 for each Vault Brick. And it gets even bet- ter for those claiming the Jumbo Gold Vault Bricks. “As Director of Coin and Currency for National Mint and Treasury, one of my jobs is to deliver breaking news. And today’s announcement confirming the release of Sealed Gold Vault Bricks to residents of the state of North Caro- lina is as big as it gets,” Lynne said. “So my advice is this, anyone who gets an opportunity to get their hands on one of these Gold Vault Bricks full of coins with rare 24 Karat Gold layer- ing issued by the U.S. Gov’t nearly 100 years ago better jump at the chance while they still can,” Lynne said. “These Gold Vault Bricks make the most impressive gifts for Christmas, birthdays, graduations, weddings, and any other occasion, especially for that hard-to-buy-for person,” Lynne said. According to Ms. Lynne, since thou- sands of U.S. residents stand to miss the deadline to claim the gold, today and tomorrow are intended as a “spe- cial 48 hour release” for the benefit of North Carolina residents. This gives them a fair chance to claim the Sealed Gold Vault Bricks and all the valuable gold loaded inside for themselves. But, Ms. Lynne added, “The Sealed Gold Vault Bricks are only available as inventory permits during the spe- cial 48 hour release so please do not miss the deadline.” The director added, “We have no power to stop coin deal- ers, resellers or collectors buying up all the Gold Vault Bricks they can get their hands on,” Lynne said. ”We already know the phones will be ringing off the hook. That’s why hun- dreds of agents are standing by to answer the phones beginning at 8:30am this morning. We’re going to do our best, but with just 48 hours to answer all the calls it won’t be easy. So make sure to tell everyone to keep calling if all lines are busy. We’ll do our best to answer them all,” Lynne said. “That’s why National Mint and Trea- sury set up the State Distribution Hotlines in order to make sure resi- dents of North Carolina can get them now,” Lynne said. The only thing readers of today’s newspaper publication need to do is make sure they live in one of the zip codes listed and call the State Distribu- tion Hotlines before the special 48 hour deadline ends midnight tomorrow. ■ NATIONAL MINT AND TREASURY, LLC IS NOT AFFILIATED WITH THE U.S. MINT, THE U.S. GOVERNMENT, A BANK OR ANY GOVERNMENT AGENCY.

CALL: 1-800-997-8036 EXT: BNA1163 ■ FLYING OUT THE DOOR: Lucky North Carolina residents are hoping to find their zip code listed in today’s publication, but not everybody will. That’s why those who do need to immediately call the State Distribution Hotlines. Everyone who does is authorized to claim sealed Vault Bricks loaded with the only North Carolina State Gold Bank Rolls known to exist for the lowest ever $4 per coin minimum set for North Carolina residents - non-state residents and those who miss the 48 hour deadline must pay $8 per coin, if any remain. ■ FIRST LOOK INSIDE GOLD VAULT BRICKS: Shown above is a sneak peak inside the Gold Vault Bricks. The Gold Vault Bricks are loaded with North Carolina State Gold Bank Rolls containing U.S. Buffalos each layered in 24 Karat Gold. The phone lines will be ringing off the hook beginning at precisely 8:30 am this morning. That’s because North Carolina residents can really cash in for the next 48 hours. Here’s why. Non-state residents and those who miss the 48-hour deadline must pay $8 per coin, but North Carolina residents who take the Gold Vault Bricks pictured above cover just the $4 per coin state minimum. That means North Carolina residents get all 125 coins with rare 24 Karat Gold Layering for just $500 which is a real steal since non-state residents must pay over $1,000 for each Gold Vault Brick. And it gets even better for those claiming the Jumbo Gold Vault Bricks. ■ VALUABLE: RARE 24 KARAT GOLD LAYERING ■ RARELY SEEN: ISSUED BY THE U.S. GOV’T NEARLY 100 YEARS AGO Q: How much are the Gold Vault Bricks worth? A: It’s impossible to say, but these Buffalos date clear back to the early 1900’s and are covered with rarely seen 24 Karat Gold Layering, sealed and protected in brilliant collector condition and there are 25 in each Bank Roll so you better hurry if you want to get your hands on them. Collector values always fluctuate and there are never any guarantees. But we do know they are the only North Carolina State Bank Rolls known to exist. So anyone lucky enough to get their hands on these sealed Vault Bricks should hold onto them because there’s no telling how much they could be worth in collector value someday. Q: Why are so many North Carolina residents calling to get them? A: Because they are the only North Carolina State Bank Rolls known to exist we’re bracing for the flood of calls. These are not ordinary Bank Rolls. These are full Bank Rolls containing 25 Buffalos dating clear back to 1900’s. Best of all each Buffalo is layered in 24 Karat Gold and the state minimum set by National Mint and Treasury is restricted to North Carolina residents who find their zip code listed in today’s publication beat the deadline only. That means North Carolina residents cover only $4 per Buffalo when they claim the Gold Vault Bricks, which is just $500 for the next 2 days. Q: How do I get the Gold Vault Bricks? A: The only thing North Carolina residents need to do is find their zip coe in today’s publication and call the State Toll-Free Hotline at 1-800-997-8036 Ext. BNA1163 before the deadline ends. Everyone who does is getting the Bank Rolls for just the state minimum. That’s a sealed Gold Vault Brick containing the only North Carolina State Bank Rolls known to exist each loaded with the rarely seen U.S. Gov’t issued Buffalo Nickels layered in valuable 24 Karat Gold for just the $4 per coin state minimum set by the National Mint and Treasury, which totals just $500 for the full sealed Gold Vault Brick. That’s a real steal because state residents and non-state residents who miss the deadline must pay $1,000 for each sealed Gold Vault Brick if any remain. Answering Your Questions 8 - DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Aug. 4, 2022 Stones with loose ob-jects on top can’t be blown off because the items will be blown off, too. Loose items can also be safety hazards. Vaughn pointed out that a glass vase that comes in contact with a weed trim-mer becomes flying shrap-nel that can injure staff and damage equipment. Metal stakes used to affix figu-rines and other items to the ground can pierce a foot or puncture a tire. He said flowers and un-secured objects get blown all over the cemetery during high winds and storms and have been retrieved as far away as Main Street. Bal-loons are prohibited be-cause they get stuck in trees and are hazardous to wild-life that might eat them. The informational sign at the cemetery will be updated with the amend-ed rules and a copy of the rules will be posted while the new signs are created. Parks and grounds em-ployees will alert families of violations by placing bilingual notification signs next to graves that are in violation. This process is being completed in phases because of the size of the cemetery. Families will be giv-en two weeks to remove unauthorized items. After that, parks and grounds will remove, bag, and store the objects for 30 days at the maintenance shop. Items that go unclaimed will be discarded. He acknowledged that Rose ... Glass containers are not allowed. Mocksville Parks & Grounds Director Chris Vaughn shows one of the notices that will be placed at gravesite not meeting the new stan- dards. - Photos by Jeanna Baxter White some grave markers don’t have a permanent vase but said that family members can contact a monument company and pay to have one added. While some families have been upset about the changes, Vaughn said that once the reasons have been explained, most have been understanding. “We’ve explained that we aren’t trying to single out one family’s grave. We are being fair to everyone across the board. Everyone will be held to the same rules, regulations, and ex-pectations.” A copy of the new rules can be found on the town’s website (https://mocksvil-lenc.org/wp-content/up-loads/2022/07/Rose-Ceme-tery-Rules-Amended-Final.pdf). Direct questions to Vaughn at cvaughn@mocksvillenc.gov or 336-753-6700. New Rose Cemetery Rules and RegulationsBelow are the amended rules adopted by the Town of Mocksville Board of Commissioners on July 5.1. Hours: 7 a.m. through sundown daily.2. Monuments & Vaults: There shall be no monu-ment erected on any lot or other memorial except markers for each grave. All monuments, cornerstones, or any other appurtenances shall be installed by a li-censed and insured profes-sional and set flush with the ground. No plastic vaults. No tree or shrub shall be planted, grown, removed, cut down, or destroyed within the border of a lot.3. The installation of all markers must be su-pervised by the town. All markers must be flush with the ground and must not impede lawn maintenance. Marker size may be no larger than 4' X 8' X 4". Markers are required to be placed within six months of burial. The town is not responsible for damage to improperly set markers or for damage caused by van-dals. Any marker improper-ly set or does not conform to the rules may be moved at the owner's expense. No objects or other items may be placed on a grave or plot except in Sections 5-8.4. At the time a grave is to be opened, the person making the request will be charged a deposit for the in-stallation of a grave mark-er. If the marker is installed within six months, the de-posit will be returned. The deposit will be included in the schedule of fees.5. A wreath style ar-rangement secured to a wreath stand affixed to the ground will be allowed for the first six months after a grave is opened or until a grave marker is installed, whichever comes first.6. Each grave plot will be limited to one perma-nently affixed vase. A per-manently affixed cross no taller than 12" may be used as a substitute for a per-manently affixed vase. If a cross is used instead of a vase it must be made of natural cut stone or bronze.7. The vase permanently affixed to each grave mark-er will be used to display regular and seasonal floral arrangements. The town recognizes that grounds maintenance is minimal from the last week of No-vember-February each year and will allow addition-al seasonal arrangements to be displayed on graves during this time. This in-cludes, but is not limited to, arrangements for Thanks-giving, Hanukkah, Christ-mas, New Year, MLK Day, Valentine's Day, and Presi-dents Day. These arrange-ments can be displayed in baskets, pots, stands, and wreaths on wreath stands. The town will remove and discard holiday arrange-ments (Thanksgiving, Ha-nukkah, Christmas, New Year) after Feb. 1. All oth-er arrangements not dis-played in a permanently affixed vase on the marker will be removed on or after March 21. Persons wishing to save these arrangements must remove them by the deadlines. The town is not responsible for the loss or damage of arrangements, potted plants, wreaths, wreath stands, and other items left after the removal deadlines have passed.8. The town encourag-es the display of minia-ture American flags not to exceed 12" x 18" on the graves of veterans to rec-ognize their contributions and observe Veteran's Day, Memorial Day, Flag Day, and Independence Day. The town follows flag etiquette set by the US Department of Veterans Affairs — Na-tional Cemetery Adminis- tration and removes flags that are in poor condition or have broken supports that cause them to continually touch the ground.9. A family plot consists of three or more grave plots adjacent to each other and intended for members of the same family. Except for family plots stated, only one grave marker may be placed on any single grave. 10. No exposed crushed stone or gravel shall be per-mitted in the cemetery. If any such stone is required in conjunction with the in-stallation of markers of any kind, it shall be completely covered with soil to permit grass to grow over it.11. Reservation of Reg-ulatory Power: The mayor and the board of commis-sioners of Mocksville re-serve to themselves and their successors in office the right to alter, amend, Famil y Medicine modify, or add to the rules, regulations, conditions, and restrictions. 12.

Hyper-Reach is a state of the art mass emergency notification system designed specifically for public safety, said Rodney Pierce, Davie 911 communications director. The county expects to have the service fully operational by the end of August.The new emergency alert system will provide rapid notification of hazardous and urgent situations using a mix of telephone calls, text and email messages, and TTY/TDD service for the hearing impaired. The system sends thousands of these messages to geographically targeted households in seconds, and can simultaneously deliver them to an even broader audience via social media, as well as sending broadcast messages to most current mobile telephones (made since 2011) in an affected area by providing access to FEMA’s Wireless Emergency Alert (WEA) system.“Our job is to protect the citizens of Davie County as effectively and cost-effectively as possible.” said Pierce. “We reviewed all the major vendors for emergency notification service, and Hyper-Reach gave us everything we needed at a great cost savings to the taxpayer. We’re really excited about this new capability.”The county plans to use the service primarily for alerts about weather and environmental hazards, criminal activity and missing persons. Landline phones are automatically enrolled for community alerts, but weather alerts to landline phones and community and weather alerts to VoIP phones, mobile phones, and email addresses are only included when people enroll. Residents and people who work in Davie County are encouraged to enroll (using a county street address) by calling or texting “Alert” to (336) 477-2478 or by going to the website http://hyper-reach.com/ncdaviesignup.html (English) or https://bit.ly/3xs0Ifl (Spanish).Residents can get emergency alerts via Alexa-enabled smart speakers by saying “Alexa, enable Hyper-Reach” and following the Alexa-provided instructions. Residents can download the Hyper-Reach Anywhere app on a smartphone. It is a free smartphone app that allows residents to manage and monitor alerts they receive, for their home and office addresses and for other addresses they care about such as those of elderly relatives or friends.

From 1965-2016, five guys from Davie High were selected. The sixth happened last week when Carson Whisenhunt became the highest draft pick in Davie history. John Parker went in the fourth round to the Phillies in 1965. Den-ny Key went in the 17th round to the Indians in 1991. Whit Merri-field went in the ninth round to the Royals in 2010. Joe Watson went in the 12th round to the Rangers in 2014. Jeremy Walker went in the fifth round to the Braves in 2016. The first day of the 2022 MLB Draft was held July 17. The draft began at 7 p.m. Nearly five hours later, at 11:57 to be exact, the Whisenhunts heard these magi-cal words as they watched from their Mocksville home: “With the 66th pick of the 2022 Major League Draft, the San Francisco Giants select Carson Whisenhunt, a lefthanded pitcher from East Carolina University.” He was the 66th and final pick of the second round. “It was nerve-racking sitting Highest draft pick in Davie history there with everybody because everybody was asking me what’s going to happen and I was like: ‘I don’t know,’” the 21-year-old Whisenhunt said. “I found out when it happened (on TV). I was super excited to see everybody else’s reactions. That’s what made it even better.”Whisenhunt was a varsity pitcher/slugging first baseman for the War Eagles from 2017-19. His senior year was one of the finest that Davie has seen. He hit .342 with three home runs, 18 RBIs, 21 walks and 13 stolen bases. He was untouchable on the mound, going 8-0 with a 0.98 ERA. He allowed 19 hits in 50 innings and piled up 96 strikeouts. He led the War Eagles to a joyous season: 22-4 record, first place in the conference and third round of the playoffs. Only three pitchers in Davie history have achieved single-sea-son perfection with eight or more decisions: Parker 11-0 in 1965, Travis Allen 9-0 in 2001 and Whisenhunt 8-0 in 2019. Then Whisenhunt headed to Greenville to play for high-profile East Carolina University. After barely seeing the field as a fresh-man, he soared as a sophomore. He went 6-2 in 13 starts, posted an impressive 3.77 ERA and struck out 79 and walked just 22 in 62 innings. Whisenhunt, who played for Team USA last summer, had all kinds of hype heading into his junior year. He earned inclusion on four preseason All-America teams, the Golden Spikes Watch List and was named Preseason American Athletic Conference Pitcher of the Year. But Whisenhunt’s 2022 ECU dreams were crushed two days before the season opener in Feb-ruary, when he tested positive for a banned performance-enhancing substance. A season-long suspen-sion was dropped on him in March. “(A supplement) was from a nationwide nutrition store,” Whisenhunt told The Athletic. “I didn’t know what was in it or read far enough into it, so I didn’t know all the details that I should have.”ECU coach Cliff Godwin showed compassion. “Carson is not a bad kid,” he told reporters. “I would tell the fans that I’m not perfect. I’ve made mistakes in my life that if maybe that came to light, I wouldn’t be the head coach here. I would ask Please See The Whiz - Page B3 Carson Whisenhunt selected 66th by SF Giants The Giants picked Carson Whisenhunt in the second round. By Brian PittsEnterprise Record Euphoria might be the best way to describe what the Martin family is feeling these days. Twins Cody and Caleb Martin recently signed contracts to stay with their respective NBA teams, the Charlotte Hornets and Miami Heat. And then there’s older brother Raheem Martin, who was elevat-ed to a full-time position on the Arkansas men’s basketball staff. Raheem was on the Razor-backs’ bench the past two seasons as a graduate assistant. Now he’s the coordinator of student-athlete development. Just look at the role Arkansas coach Eric Musselman has played in the Martin lives. Musselman coached the twins at Nevada, and now he’s promoted Raheem. Making the moment all the better, the Razorbacks are a pro-gram on a serious upswing. They reached the NCAA Elite 8 the past two seasons, and expectations are as high as a kite for 2022-23. Over the past two years, Ra-heem worked with NBA lottery pick Moses Moody, All-American JD Notae and 2022 NBA draft pick Jaylin Williams. “Caleb Cline (who also earned full-time position after being grad assistant) and Raheem quickly established themselves as gradu-ate assistants,” Musselman said. “Our staff, but more importantly our players, have the ultimate confidence and trust in them. They have been leaders in their previous roles and our players have bene-fitted from their knowledge. The program is fortunate to keep them in the family.”Raheem played basketball at Davie from 2007-11. He got to team up with his twin brothers in 2010-11, when he was a senior and they were freshmen, and that season couldn’t have gone much better as the War Eagles went 19-6. Raheem played at Greensboro College from 2013-16, and he left a mark, earning USA South Defen-sive Player of the Year in 2013-14 and leaving with top-nine numbers in career blocks and steals. Then he jumped into coaching. He spent one year as an assistant coach at Richard Bland College, 2017-18. He was an assistant for one year at Greensboro in 2019-20. Then he worked two years as a graduate assistant at Arkansas as he pursued a Master’s in Adult and Lifelong Learning.Raheem Martin Martin promoted on Arkansas basketball staff By Brian PittsEnterprise Record Last spring for the Davie track & field team, Spencer Williams did stuff that was utterly beyond belief. Spencer has a younger brother named Palmer Williams, a rising senior who is the No. 1-ranked punter in the Class of 2023. Let’s think about that for a mo-ment. Spencer won back-to-back state championships in the shot put, broke numerous state records and is headed to North Carolina on a track scholarship. And Palmer is at the top of the list among punters in the rankings on Chrissailerkicking.com, and a month ago he accepted a scholar-ship offer from Baylor. Yep, the Williams brothers are flying high. “Seeing (Spencer’s) success and all the work pay off made me want to keep on going,” Palmer said. “He definitely kept me in-spired.”Aidan Flintoft of California, who is headed to Stanford, is ranked behind Palmer for punters in the Class of 2023. Tyler White of Texas, who has committed to Texas A&M, is ranked third. Caleb McGrath of Minnesota, who will Punter ranked among best stay home and play for the Golden Gophers, is fourth. And Conor Tal-ty of Illinois, who has committed to Alabama, is fifth. “I’ve made a pretty big jump,” Palmer said. “I was sixth in the country and I was second for a really long time. I recently got bumped up to first. There was one guy who had been first for years and I finally beat him out. The ranking is purely based on what you do at camps. There was an invitation-only camp in Los Ange-les. We had a three-day camp and they evaluated you the whole time. They charted every kick, every-thing was on video and they used all that stuff to get the rankings.”Needless to say, Williams has had a busy offseason. “As far as ranking camps, I’ve been to about six,” he said. “I’ve been to Georgia, Florida, Las Vegas. ... As far as college camps, I’ve been all over the place. I’ve been to 11 different schools - (in-cluding) Texas, Connecticut and Virginia.” By Brian PittsEnterprise Record It’s been over a decade since Davie football fans watched Adam Smith star at quarterback, and he’s seven years removed from his extraordinary receiver career at Guilford College. But at age 28, the 5-10 Smith is still making catches and drawing oohs and aahs. Smith is a fifth-year profession-al football player in the National Arena League. He played for the East Carolina Torch in 2018, for the Cape Fear Heroes in 2019 and signed with the Carolina Cobras in 2020, a season that was cancelled by the pandemic. He’s now in his second season with the Cobras, who play their home games at the Greensboro Coliseum. They came out smoking in 2022, winning 59-51 over he Albany Empire, 48-26 over the Orlando Predators, 53-48 over the Jacksonville Sharks, 36-34 over Orlando and 72-35 over the San Antonio Gunslingers.

But he had to do everything he could to keep his arm fresh for the upcoming draft, so he hooked up with Mike Mullis, a baseball coach in the Greenville area. From February though May, Whisenhunt would throw bullpens in the mornings, then attend classes and then do more baseball workouts in the afternoons. “(Mullis) took care of everything,” Whisenhunt told The Athletic. “He said: ‘Hey, I’ll tell you where to be, what time and we’ll go The Whiz ... from there.’ It was a really big help having him around and just being able to sup-port me and work through my schedule and his tough schedule as well.”The Cape Cod Baseball League has produced over 1,400 major leaguers over the years. Whisenhunt des-perately needed to play in the Cape this summer to show scouts, who had pro-jected him as a first-round pick before the suspension, that he was ready despite the long layoff. He joined the Chatham Anglers. “I love it when they come here and have something to prove, so I was all in,” Cha-tham manager Tom Holliday told The Athletic. “I called and talked to (Whisenhunt) one night and said: ‘Hey man, do what you do there and make sure you don’t come here thinking this is going to be easy. You have to come ready.’”Whisenhunt was under-standably rusty. He hadn’t pitched in a real game since the 2021 summer for Team USA. Although he had a 7.87 ERA in four starts and 16 innings, he showed glimpses of his true self, especially the parachute changeup that coaches and scouts adore. Holliday saw what all the fuss was about, and we’re talking about a man who has seen quite a bit in his day. He’s the father of former big league star Matt Holliday and current Oklahoma State coach Josh Holliday. On top of that, an-other son, shortstop Jackson Holliday, was the No. 1 pick in the draft. “He showed the best lefthanded changeup I’ve seen sitting six feet behind a catcher,” Tom Holliday said. “It was the best spin I’ve seen on a changeup in ... I can’t tell you how long. He showed me a loose, easy arm, and he showed me good fastball life - not great, because I wouldn’t expect it yet. His legs aren’t underneath him yet. And then I saw the breaking ball - yeah, that’s going to be interesting.”How long has he had that filthy changeup? “I did not throw a cur-veball until I got into high school, so my go-to offspeed pitch was the changeup,” Whisenhunt said. “It was one of those pitches I’ve worked on since I was 6 or 7 years old.”When the Anglers opened their season June 12, Holliday gave the ball to “Whiz.” “The build-up to it was incredible,” Holliday said. “The first game we played (had) 80 scouts. Some peo-ple said 100. That’s a lot of pressure for a kid, and he’s a kid.”Whisenhunt’s fourth and final start on July 3 was his best. He gave up one run on three hits in five innings. “Last time he hit 94 and my phone lights up,” Holliday said. “They were saying: ‘He got up to 94, that’s pretty good.’ So no matter what he does, he’s being graded from some-body somewhere.”Two weeks later came Whisenhunt’s special mo-ment. He became the sixth highest draft pick in ECU history and just the seventh Pirate taken in the first two rounds. Even though he had to miss the 2022 college sea-son, scouts covet big, strong lefty arms - and Whisenhunt certainly fits the bill at 6-3, 209. But as he sat in the living room with parents Dennis and Mandi and other family members, he had no idea if he would get picked in the first two rounds on Day One or if he’d have to wait until the next night to hear his name. “I had no clue,” he said. “I mean nobody did. It was one of those things you play it by ear. My advisors (Scott Boras and Co.) were talking with me, but nobody was sure. I was trying to keep mom and dad calm. We had a little family thing and hung out. We kept it small because we had no idea what was going to happen or if it was going to happen.” Carson Whisenhunt has gone from North Davie Middle to Davie High to East Carolina to the San Francisco Giants organization. Cr tional Guard in several states on the east coast. He served at several bases in the U.S. including MacDill AFB, Myrtle Beach AFB and his final station at Tyndall AFB in Florida. He retired in 1989 with slightly more than 26 years of faithful active duty. During his time in the Air Force he received several medals including: Meritori-ous Service, AF Commenda-tion, Good Conduct, National Defense, Overseas Service Long Tour and Short Tour as well as Outstanding Unit with Valor, and many others. He married his wife, Debbie in 1978 and upon retirement, moved back to Mocksville where she had lived as a child. They have made their home in Mocksville since his retire-ment in 1989.

You’ve got to be a con-sistent 47 and 4.7 and your mishit has got to be decent enough to where they can cover it. This whole summer I’ve been doing really well. A lot of the college guys want you to turn over 65-70 percent of the punts, and I’ve been turning over 80 percent in the past month.”What is Williams looking to accomplish when he tries a coffin-corner punt? “Four-second hang time is what coaches want you to shoot for,” he said. “4.0 to 4.2 and aim for the 8-yard line.”Williams had four offers in all, with UConn, Air Force and West Point also pursuing the rising senior. Baylor offered in late June and he accepted July 2. “With specialists, you don’t really want to sit on it too much,” he said. “If they offer you a full scholarship, they want to know within a week, so I took about a week to think about it and accepted it.”Baylor captured Big 12 championships in 2013, 2014 and 2021. To get an opportunity to play for a Power 5 program was attrac-tive, no doubt, but it’s much more than that to Williams, who will do kickoffs as well as punts at Baylor. “I’ll get to play at a school that just won the Big 12 championship, but the big thing is the coaches,” he said. “I have a coach I work with from Charlotte and coaches from Baylor called him every week to see how I was doing. They’ve always been rooting for me. You want to play for a staff that really wants to see you succeed and really like you as a person over a player. Obviously you’ve got to be really good, but they value person over player.”Last year as a junior, Williams converted 54 of 56 extra points and nailed 2 of 3 field goals, includ-ing a 47-yarder. He aver-aged 34 yards on his punts, with a long of 56. Another Wooldridge record is within Williams’ range if the op-portunity presents itself. The longest Davie field goal ever Continued From Page B1from there and settled for second in the six-team league. They lost 59-57 to Jacksonville, won 58-50 over Albany, lost 55-28 to the Columbus Lions, won 59-56 over Albany, lost 61-60 to San Antonio, won 61-36 over Columbus, lost 63-26 to Jacksonville, lost 47-46 to Columbus and closed the regular season with a 62-55 win over Jack-sonville. Albany took first at 8-4, followed by Carolina (9-5), Columbus (7-5), Jackson-ville (7-7), San Antonio (4-8) and Orlando (3-9). Strangely enough, the Co-bras went 3-0 against first-place Albany, an advantage that was offset by a 4-5 slide from May 28-July 23. “The whole season we were No. 1, but our quarter-back ended up going down, so we dropped a few,” Smith said. “We definitely expect-ed nothing less than to be the top team in the league, so we’re actually disappointed with 9-5 because our goal was to win the champion-ship.”Smith was a Division-III All-American at Guilford, where he amassed 247 catches, 3,988 receiving yards and 46 touchdown grabs. He set program/con-ference records by averag-ing 8.9 catches for 126 yards per game. In 13 regular-season games for Carolina, he had 28 receptions for 354 yards and three TDs. But one of his most memorable mo-ments this season came at his old position - quarter-back - when Carolina was hosting Columbus on July 16. “With the weird substitu-tion rules, one quarterback went down, another came in to relieve him and end-ed up burning him for the quarter,” he said. “That was when I came in. The last time I played quarterback was the first game of my college career, so that was September of 2012.”As a Davie junior in 2010, Smith was a backup quarterback/starting cor-nerback, and he helped the War Eagles make a magical run to the state 4A champi-onship game. He was the main man as a senior, and he played as if he invent-ed the dual-threat QB. He threw 18 TDs against just three interceptions, and he also rushed for 771 yards to lead Davie to a share of the conference championship. Back to the Columbus game when Smith had to take over at QB: His first play was, lo and behold, a TD pass. “It definitely brought back some crazy nostalgia,” he said. “It was cool because was Wooldridge’s 50-yarder in 2000. “My field goals are look-ing super good,” Williams said. “It’s different in col-lege because you’ve got to kick off the ground. I kick off a block in high school and I’ll probably have 60-yard range. I think anything inside 60 is fair Punter ... Smith ...

Consistency in my kickoffs has gotten a lot better, too.”A plus is the chemistry between the snapper/holder/kicker. “I know my holder is go-ing to be Coy James because he did it last year, and I’m hoping Justin Hayes will be my snapper,” he said. our coach knew he could call plays that we (typically) run simply because I know our offense back and forth.”The TD landed in the arms of Kendrick Ings of Miami, Fla. “He has the biggest name in arena football of anyone on our team,” Smith said. “He actually did not even play in college. He has a wild story where he was playing semi-pro, he ended up getting a chance with some arena teams and actu-ally got an NFL chance and a CFL opportunity. So he’s got a cool story.”When Carolina doesn’t have possession, Smith can be found at cornerback. Un-der new rules, players must play both ways. “The only thing I’ve not been pleased with is I’ve had to play defense for the first time since my senior year at Davie,” he said. “I’m not unhappy that I have to play defense, but that’s not my speciality. I’m not able to be elite at it sometimes, but as a receiver I’m very pleased. I feel like I’m the best wide receiver I’ve ever been. I’m having a lot of fun. I just want a championship now.”The top four teams qual-ified for the playoffs. Caro-lina played at Columbus in one semifinal on July 30. The championship game will be played Aug. 13. Unlike years past, there is no salary cap in the NAL. Better yet for the Cobras, their owner (Rob Storm) is not stingy with his money. “In the past, everybody had to make league min-imum,” Smith said. “Of course, that was almost nev- er the case. Everybody did not make league minimum. But this year with the iron man rules and playing both ways, they eliminated the salary cap. The owners are allowed to spend as much as they want on a guy. “Our owner is pretty big-time. He’s got a big wallet. We always fly to San Antonio. We have driven (to Albany) before, but hopeful-ly we’re going to fly (for the championship game).”For the large majority of away games, the Cobras travel in charter buses “that fit really big humans with a lot of leg room,” Smith said with a laugh. “I’m in a com-fortable position because I’m a normal-sized guy.”Smith has spent recent years coaching on the En-loe High football staff and teaching at Wakefield High. (The Raleigh schools are 15 miles apart.) But Smith and his wife are getting ready to move to Maryland. “She’s going to get her PhD up there, so I’m in the middle of a job search right now and trying to figure out what the next step is for me when this season is over,” he said. “I think there’s a possibility I could go back to coaching at a small college, but I’m not really sure that’s what I want to do again.”Those decisions are not Smith’s priority right now. After dropping two of three regular-season games to Co-lumbus, the Cobras tamed the Lions 65-51 on Saturday and are headed to the title game. They will travel to Albany, the reigning NAL champion, for the Aug. 13 clash.New LocationIn Mocksville “The Best that Heart and Hands Can Give” MOCKSVILLE CHAPEL NOW OPEN!953 Salisbury Road, Mocksville, NC 27028 • Ph:336-477-2086 Visit Our Website to find our Lexington & Winston-Salem Locations www.robertsfuneral.com 1109590 Cheryl V.

She had been a resident there for the past four years. The youngest of three children, she was born in 1942 in Davie County to the late Ernest and Helen Jones Koontz of Mr. Henry Road. She attended Jericho Church of Christ, where she was a member, and also attended Salem United Methodist Church. In 1960 she graduated from Cool Spring High School; where she was marshal & vale-dictorian, voted senior su-perlative most intellectual, active member of the Beta & several other clubs, and member of yearbook staff. She graduated with honors from Mitchell College and Catawba College and then earned a master’s degree in her chosen career of library science from UNC-Chapel Hill. She was a librarian in Virginia and North Caro-lina, including children's librarian at the Davie Coun-ty Public Library for many years. An avid reader, she strongly believed in the im-portance of books and sto-ries in life. In December 1972 she married Bill Ijames; the couple made their home in Mocksville and reared daughters Amy and Abby. A service celebrating her life was held July 20 under the shelter at Salem United Methodist; she was laid to rest in the church cemetery. Gail had contributed to our community news, espe-cially those involving Cool Spring High. Her support was always greatly appreci-ated and will be missed.We extend sympathy to the family of Jimmy Ray "Jim" Seamon, who died Sunday of last week after a period of declining health. The sixth of seven chil-dren, he was born in 1937 in Davie County to the late William "Bill" and Etta Williams Seamon of Coun-ty Line. In 1948 the fami-ly bought a farm on Ridge Road and moved there from nearby Smith Lane off Ridge. He attended Soci-ety Baptist Church with his family. In 1955 he graduated from Cool Spring High School, where he was a school bus driver for two years and active member of the Future Farmers of America for four years. He then married Louise Bai-ley of Couny Home Road of Davie, his high school sweetheart and wife of 66 years. She joined him in worship at Society, where they were dedicated mem-bers and Jim often helped with needed church build-ing repairs and landscap-ing of the cemetery. The couple built a home on Greenhill Road and reared children Kazanne and Ran-dy. Many years later the couple joined in worship at Hardison United Metodist Church. Retired from R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co., he was also a skilled carpenter as he learned from his dad and helped his family build many homes. A service celebrating his life was held last Friday morning at Hardison United Methodist Church; he was laid to rest in the church cemetery.We extend sympathy to the family of Elizabeth "Lib" Turner Leonard, who died Thursday afternoon of last week at home after a courageous battle with Parkinson disease. The fourth of five children, she was born in 1947 in Davie County to the late Bruce and Frances Jones Turner of Mr. Henry Road and attend-ed Jericho Church of Christ, where she remained a life-time faithful member. She attended Cool Spring High School and transferred during her final high school years to Davie County High School, where she graduated in 1965. Later in 1965 she mar-ried William Bowles, lived on Davie Academy Road, and was a loving dedicated mother to sons Andy and Alan. In 1999 she married Ralph Leonard, who died at Bermuda Commons just two days before her death; the couple made their home on Sunset Circle off Jericho Road. Lib was retired from Davie County Soil and Wa-ter Conservation District af-ter more than 30 years and twice served on the board of directors after retirement. Friendly and caring, she loved her family dearly and enjoyed spending time with them and serving others. A service celebrating her life was held last Monday at Jericho Church of Christ; she was laid to rest in the church cemetery.Our community sends get-well wishes to Eva Campbell, who has been at Iredell Memorial Hospital. Betty Anderson has im-proved and is recuperating at home. Rayford "Tink" McDaniel continues to rest at home with palliative care.
