Dr. Slate turning 100 Accolades rolling in for former county commissioner, Mocksville mayor as a teen. He married Jen-sina Hansen who he met in Washington, D.C., and they moved to South Africa when the missionary division of the Adventist Church sent him to run the printing shop in Cape Town, South Africa. Francis Slate was born in Cape Town Aug. 23, 1922. He graduated from Univer-sity of Cape Town Medical School in 1947 and in 1948 married Daphne Ham, who he had met while she was in nursing school there.Following two internships in 1948, Slate spent the next four years as a medical officer at two hospitals in South Africa. At the conclusion of the fourth year, he and Daphne discussed moving to the U.S. When the Slates moved to the U.S. in 1952, Francis was no stranger to America be-cause when his father went on furlough every eight years, the family, which also included his brother Bill who was born in 1925, visited family and friends in America. “Our first trip was in 1930 when I was 8 years old. We stayed part of the time with my mother’s family on their farm in Maine. They had emigrated to the United States from Denmark,” he said.He recalls his uncle encour-aging him to drive the horse drawn hay rack. “The hay was not cut very straight where I had been,” he said.When his family visited New York City, the Great De- pression was starting. “I recall seeing sharply dressed men on the streets selling apples and pencils. I did not have much understanding of their predica-ment at my age then.” His early education in South Africa was interrupted for two years due to his fami-ly’s trips to America. He jokes, “It’s probably why I never amounted to much.” Those early childhood experiences explain why he was somewhat familiar with America when he and Daphne moved here.After taking a graduate course in surgery at New York University in 1952-53, he did residencies in West Virginia Please See 100 - Page 4 By Mike BarnhardtEnterprise Record Sheriff’s investigators are looking for the suspects who shot a man in an apparent rob-bery or home invasion last week in western Davie.On Tuesday, Aug. 2 at ap-proximately 3:28 a.m.. depu-ties and EMS responded to the Sheetz on Yadkinville Road in Mocksville for a report of a male with a gunshot wound.

Homes Urban and Hillsdale Group LLC are seeking rezoning of just over 20 acres of land, within the town limits, to construct 270 apartments. The current zoning would allow 160 units to be built but Urban has stated they are only interested in the higher density. I am strongly opposed to this rezoning and I’m aware of two petitions, each signed by over 450 people who feel the same way. The construction of these units will bring the number of apartments within our town limits to near 30 percent. Many homeowners question the wisdom of building a transient population base verse a base of owners committed to the prosperity and wellbeing of the Town of Bermuda Run.The proposed rezoning has attracted attention for residents living on both sides of Interstate 40. The residents of Kinderton Village will be most impacted by this rezoning. The rezoning lies on land just behind the Lowe’s shopping center and the neighborhood of Kinderton Village. The rezoning would mean that as many as 33 percent of all housing units in Bermuda Run north of the interstate would be apartments.Legally, our planning board must hear the request for conditional rezoning. They have already recommended against rezoning under a separate filing, at which time the request was withdrawn by Homes Urban before the council vote as they were told as proposed, it likely wouldn’t pass. The hope is that again the planning board will recognize that this is not in the best interests of The Town of Bermuda Run or for the residents of Kinderton Village. The Town Council of Bermuda Run, while not required to follow the recommendation of the planning board, will then hold a public hearing concerning the rezoning and either approve or deny the request.I am strongly opposed to the requested rezoning and hope that the rumors I’ve heard for years, that the money talks in Davie County, is just a rumor. Never has anyone suggested that any official is taking money for their vote. The suggestion is that, what is good for those with deep roots and money is good for all, and their requests may be looked upon differently than less connected individuals.While sadly disappointed that this rezoning has been requested, I am firmly committed to the belief that the result of this rezoning request, allowing 15 units per acre instead of the 8 in the current zoning classification, would never have been considered by the founders of Bermuda Run. Furthermore, contrary to claims by the seller of the property, Bill Burnette, would never have wanted this zoning connected to his vision of Kinderton.For those of you who knew Mr. Burnette, you will be well aware that if this was part of his vision for Kinderton it would have been zoned for high density apartments years ago.Monetarily benefiting a few locals and an outside investment group should never ever be more important than the vision upon which a town is built nor the overwhelming opposition to changes being made to benefit a few at the risk of hurting many.Lennie RingBermuda Run TeachersBy Linda H. BarnetteA post on Facebook yesterday made me think back over many years to all of the teachers that I have had along my journey. I actually remember them all.When I started school in 1947, my heart was broken because I did not get assigned to Mrs. Arnold’s class. I was very shy, but I knew her from First Baptist Church and hoped I would have her as my first teacher. As it turned out, however, I got Miss Rose Owens. Because I had had 2 major surgeries that summer, I started to school later than the others. “Miss Rose,” as we called her, was kind and patient as she tried to catch me up with the class. She was always the standard that I used to measure teachers by—kind, motherly, efficient. She made me love school that year, and that love continued for many years.Obviously, I’m not going to name all of them, but Mr. James Wall and his sister, Miss Claire Wall, were two of my most influential teachers as well as neighbors on our street. He was my teacher in the 8th grade back when we had the same person all day and again in high school for US History and Civics. Because of him, I became a student of history and have been so all of my life. One of my most prized possessions is a copy of his “History of Davie County,” signed by him and given to me as a Christmas gift from my parents many years ago.Miss Claire Wall was a beautiful lady with an easy smile and an obvious love of literature, especially poetry. How could I ever forget Charles Farthing’s reading of Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Raven”? In that class I first got the idea that I wanted to become a teacher.When I went to Catawba, I had many gifted teachers, most notably Dr. Raymond Jenkins for English and Dean Elisabeth Scranton for history. The transition from high school to college in those days was tremendous. Still very quiet and shy, I recall Dr. Jenkins asking us one day in English 101 how to properly pronounce the word “victuals.” I recall very tentatively raising my hand and saying “vittles.” I knew that from watching so many of those early cowboy shows on television! From that time on, I loved his classes and became his assistant for all 4 years. It was largely because of him that I decided to go to graduate school at the University of Tennessee.Miss Scranton was the Dean of Woman and a history professor. She was a tall and imposing figure, causing many students to be uncomfortable in her classes. Her expectations were very high. I liked and admired her very much and loved her European History class and chose to take a minor in that field.Graduate school was very different from college. My professors were all very strict and only interested in our work. There did not appear to be any personal interest at all.It was a long journey from first grade to graduate school, but I loved it all. I think I was born to be both a student and a teacher!! Full CircleBy Stephanie Williams DeanAbout five years ago, a stranger named Mike showed up at my door. He’d come to see the garage apartment I had advertised for rent. He moved in the same day with just the clothes on his back. Later, Mike shared the details of his personal life. He’d been locked out of his home – as usual, a two-sided story. A marriage gone bad. Soon after, Mike’s 82-year-old mother, Carolyn, began visiting him. At that time, she was driving back and forth from her home on the NC coast. She worried about her son. Before you know it, she had rented an upstairs guest bedroom. As you’d suspect, having lost my mother, I immediately bonded with Carolyn and grew quite attached to her. Mike worked daily, so I spent much of my time with his mother. I’d take her shopping or out for lunch. We’d go to WalMart and eat at Subway on Wednesdays – the day they ran their tuna sub special. We both loved tuna fish.Mike stayed in his apartment for a year before buying a house just a few miles down the road. But my friendship with Mike and Carolyn didn’t end. Whenever Carolyn came to town, they dialed me up and invited me to go eat fried catfish at a local diner – only served on Fridays. The following year, Mike was diagnosed with stage four colon cancer. In the years that followed, I saw less of Mike as he was busy with his medical issue. But I stayed in touch with Carolyn – keeping abreast of Mike’s health situation.Fast forward – I called Carolyn one day and learned Mike wasn’t doing well. Time was closing in on him. That afternoon, I stopped by his house to visit. Mike’s health was declining rapidly. He needed help, so I stepped in. Every day for the final two months of his life, I was Mike’s chauffeur, friend, healthcare advocate, emotional caregiver, and supporter. In the final two weeks, his sister, Beth, came and stayed with him at his homeAlong with Hospice, Beth attended to his physical care. During that time, Carolyn came to my home to live – a place where she could be at peace, get rest, and relax. She could easily drive back and forth daily from my house to his.A few days before Mike’s death, I considered how things had turned out for me, Mike, and Carolyn. We once had been new friends – like silver, but now, we were old friends – precious gold. Life had come full circle. In a way, we were back as we started. Who would have foreseen that Carolyn would be living in the apartment that Mike once occupied – and he would be dying? Life is like that. It’s often said that what goes around comes around – and I believe it does in many circumstances. There’s a beautiful Bible verse in Ecclesiastes 1:5-7 (NIV) that I love – and it reads: “The sun rises and the sun sets, and hurries back to where it rises. The wind blows to the south and turns to the north; round and round it goes, ever returning on its course. All streams flow into the sea, yet the sea is never full. To the place the streams come from, there they return again.”While pertinent to my story, the verse’s meaning in the Biblical context differs. Near the end of Solomon’s life, he wrote from personal experience: our purposes or anything apart from God – will fail to satisfy. By Paris GoodnightThe Salisbury Post The soundtrack of the surf never ceases, and yet it changes every time I step foot into the water. I can never remember all the different songs from my youth that come to mind as I’m enjoying the sights and sounds of the North Carolina coast, but as soon as I hear the waves, those tunes start popping back in my mind.It’s a perfect way to hum the time away while being far away from the daily grind. Not that it wasn’t good to get back into a more normal routine, but the batteries sure get a nice recharge from time at the beach. My daughter new that was true and chose the University of North Carolina at Wilmington as her college, then decided to stay there for years after graduating before recently moving on to Raleigh. We’ll see if she enjoys the sights and sounds of the state capitol as much as the waves rolling in so close by.Sometimes I try to come up with some more of my own songs when I’m out in the waves, since no one can hear me there even if I sing at the top of my lungs (like I’ve lost my mind, which on occasion I may have been tempted to do).I had one such song started while I was enjoying that much-needed break at the beach, but the only words I remember were something like a little kid might say or sing to his grandmother while at the shore: “We seed seaweed Mawmaw.” Not we saw seaweed of course, but we seed it.Why such bad grammar snuck in my mind, I don’t know. But I gave it my best shot at humming away such lyrics, but not much further with that one, and you can see why it will not be my first hit to crack the Top 10. And Weird Al Yankovich won’t get a chance to parody that one.You can’t really write a whole song on something like that anyway. That’s often my problem when I start trying to think up some cool lyrics. They mostly capture my imagination, but aren’t fit for human consumption otherwise.So it was easy to move on to other songs to hum along either out loud or in my mind, and if only I could remember them after I step away from the surf. But for some reason they seem to fade away as soon as I step out of the water or move back toward the shore.I usually only got a few lines of a song started before my attention turned to something else anyway, like not getting knocked over by a rogue wave rolling in.I have been known to lose focus just enough to have such a wave take my sunglasses and beach hat into the deep. But no turtle will be sporting my shades this time.And no trips to the emergency room for me this time either, though years ago it was the first thing co-workers asked about when I returned to the third floor of the Post. Several years in a row involved some sort of catastrophe that included stitches or similar repairs at the hands of professionals. One was a dropped window that caught me right in the mouth during a renovation project. I think I still have the scar from that one.It wasn’t always me who ended up with blood showing. Once, it was my wife who smashed her nose into the back of a kid’s head at the bottom of a waterslide.This time, even though I was fortunate, Uncle Greg was not. He took a spill out of a boat and landed just right — or wrong I guess would phrase it better — in a bed of oyster shells that led to stitches in one hand and both feet. Plus a tetanus shot and some antibiotics since those oyster shells can be filled with all sorts of gnarly things if you get cut on one. Not to be deterred, he still took the boat out the rest of the week and still manned the pot to cook up Beaufort stew to feed the whole crew. And never complained a bit about the ordeal.We didn’t feast on oysters as payback, but the shrimp and other goodies that came out of the pot were fit for a king.Paris Goodnight is editor of the Salisbury Post. DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Aug. 11, 2022 - 3Presidential sites By Betty Etchison WestFor the Enterprise After Harry Truman said that he would not run for another term, the Dem-ocratic and the Republican parties began trying to get Dwight David Eisenhow-er, who had served as the Commander of Allied Troops in Europe and who was extremely popular with the American people after those troops won the war against the Axis, to agree to be their candidate for Pres-ident of the United States. At the time that both parties were courting Ei-senhower, they did not even know if he was a Democrat or a Republican because historically military people had no involvement in po-litical affairs. Eisenhower finally said that he was a Republican, and he agreed allow his name to be throw into the mix at the Republican con-vention. Of course, the pop-ular American was chosen as the candidate with Rich-ard Nixon chosen to run with him as vice president. Eisenhower ran against Democrat Adlai Stevenson and won by a landslide.Eisenhower was in-augurated in 1953 as the 34th Presiden. He became successful - a story differ-ent from a number of other military men who held that office. One of the many initia-tives begun by Eisenhower was the interstate highway system which today seems such an integral part of lives, but did not exist in 1953. That system has been a work-in-progress since Eisenhower’s ad-ministration, and today it is so worn that many parts are having to be rebuilt or repaired. Eisenhower is usually rated by historians as one of the top five presi-dents of this country.The baby, who was born in Denison, Texas, on Oct. 14, 1890, to David and Ida Stover Eisenhower in a small one and one-half sto-ry house near the railroad tracks, which did not have electricity or running wa-ter, became the President of the United States. His hard-working parents were blessed with seven sons, one of whom died when he was a baby. Dwight’s fam-ily struggled but survived. When Dwight was quite young, the family moved from Denison to Abilene, Kan. Dwight grew up in Abilene doing chores while attending school as did the other five boys. Each boy was assigned a chore. Dwight’s was probably assigned to help with the cooking, which he enjoyed doing all of his life. After he finished high school, there was no money for college. He worked for a while and then applied for admittance to the Naval Academy but was not accepted. He wait-ed another year or two and applied to the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. He was accepted. Dwight’s parents belonged to a re-ligious group called the River Brethren, who were pacifists. It is said that his family had never seen his mother cry, but the day Dwight left for the mil-itary academy, she cried for hours. Neither she nor Dwight’s father tried to keep their children from doing what they felt they should even if they didn’t approve of the choices. Dwight David Eisen-hower graduated at the middle of his class. After he received his commission and became part of the U.S. Army, he had several as-signments. One was to Fort Sam Huston in San Anto-nio, Texas. It was there that he met a vivacious young lady who really caught his eye, Mamie Doud. After a short courtship, they were married. Not too long af-ter he was married, Mamie was whining about Dwight leaving for an assignment. Dwight stopped packing and said, “Mamie, my country will always come first and you will always come second.” Mamie never com-plained again, and she moved with him from post to post from Paris to Pan-ama. The only assignment which really bothered her was in Panama where the extreme heat and the crit-ters that wanted to share their home. The rest of the Eisen-hower story is history. The little boy who was born across the tracks in Den-ison, Texas, moved up to become Commander of Al-lied Troops, who won the war against the Axis, and finally become President of the United States. The Eisenhower home in Denison, Texas, is now open to the public six days per week. It does not contain furniture that be-longed to the family, but it is furnished from the peri-od when the Eisenhowers lived there. It is adminis-tered by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department which can be reached at 903-4465-8908. If you are traveling west on I-40, Denison is about 160 miles off that highway, but the trip from Mocksville to Abilene is 1,117.5 miles.Unless you are in the Denison area, you might find the Eisenhower home in Abilene, Kan., 1,055.8 miles away, more interest-ing. That is the house where Dwight David Eisenhower spent the years until he left to attend the Military Acad-emy. The house in Denison is much larger, which also does not contain furniture that belonged to the fam-ily, but there are family artifacts there as well as guides who can share his-tory about the family. The property is undergoing ren-ovations which should be completed in the fall. Call 765-265-4751.The Eisenhower prop-erty you may find most interesting is much nearer - the Eisenhower National Historic Site at Gettysburg, Pa., only 401.4 miles from Mocksville. The Eisenhow-er house at Gettysburg is the only house the former president and his wife ever owned and it is pure Ei-senhower, made so by the owners themselves. The Eisenhowers bought the farm which had a house on it as a retirement home and it suited them perfectly. After they bought the farm and began to restore the house, they discovered that it was a log house which had brick veneer put up around the logs. It was in bad shape. They preserved as much of the old house as they could and added it to make a large house. If you visit the house you will be able to see what is the new part and what is the old part. You be-gin your tour in the parlor, which contains the many objects given to the Eisen-hower through the years. It was not used much by Dwight and Mamie.The room they loved and used extensively was the sun porch, which had perfect light for Dwight hobby, painting. Also interesting is the Eisenhowers’ bed-room, which seems more like Mamie’s bedroom be-cause it is a cloud of pink, her favorite color. Every-thing is pink in that suite in-cluding the commode seat. That is where Mamie en-joyed sleeping until about noon and watching her fa-vorite television show, “As the World Turns.” The former president not only enjoyed his home but also his farm with its herd of prize beef cows. Visitors have to visit Mr. Eisenhow-er’s barn, the home of those prize cows. Mr. Eisenhow-er even required visiting heads of state to visit the barn and see his cows.Dwight David Eisen-hower died on March 28, 1969. He is buried in Abilene, Texas, in the Pal-ace of Meditation at the Eisenhower Center, part of 26-acres that is home of the Dwight D. Eisenhower Presidential Library and Museum. Mamie Eisen-hower lived 11 years after the death of her husband, and is buried beside him. Their beloved son, “Icky,” who died when he was 3, is also buried at the center. Continued From Page 2 HomecomingBy E. BishopThe cornerstone was laid on Aug. 22, 1874, and regu-lar services were held until about 1933. Time took its toll on this little white church on the hill and in the 1970s, this little Lutheran church, Cherry Hill Church in southern Davie County, was slated to be demolished. But, thanks to Johnny Singleton and many others, it was declared an historical gem worth preserving, and so it was. Descen-dants of the former church members and the surrounding community came together, and now they make sure the sacred grounds and church are well kept and open for the annual homecoming. Another year passes and I’m blessed to be one of those attending homecoming again. Reverend John C. Elam from Franklin Presbyterian brings the message titled “Let’s Come Home.” Hymns sung were “Blest Be the Tie That Binds” and “Rock of Ages” while the overhead fans whirled, and the congregation used their bulletins to fan themselves. And, just as in the old days before nurseries, the sweet rustlings of restless children could be heard. Like the children, the adults possibly were becoming rest-less toward the end of the service knowing what a bounti-ful “dinner on the grounds” was coming next. Attending a church’s homecoming always brings up childhood memories for me such as in the case of Cherry Hill’s homecoming Sunday. Another one such memory is that of our parents taking us to No Creek Primitive Baptist Church. Have you ever been involved in a foot washing ceremony? Well, as my old memory serves me, as an 8 year old, I had not. My nephew, Bobby, who was just two years younger and like a brother to me, had not either. We both thought they were coming after us too so we sneaked out before they could get any closer. I’m sure we were scolded later. Eisenhower sites in Texas, Kansas, Pennsylvania The Eisenhower homes: in Abilene, Kan. and in Gettysburg, Pa. Dwight and Mamie Eisenhower as he was president, ranked as one of the most productive by historians. Renegade ... No Creek holds a special place for my family as my pa-ternal great-grandfather, John Henry Snider (1855-1914) and his wife, my great-grandmother, Ellen Frances Hen-drix (1859-1932) were laid to rest there. And, I believe I was named after this great grandmother. No wonder our parents took us to events at this church that held foot wash-ings.The early Christian church introduced the custom to imitate the humility and selfless love of Jesus, who washed the feet of the Twelve Apostles at the Last Supper (John 13:1-15), the night before his crucifixion. This foot washing practice is most often associated with the Prim-itive Baptist churches whose members believe that Jesus washed feet to set an example to remind us to show kind-ness, forgiveness, grace and humility.Although we have to change with the times sometimes, traditions of the religious realm of our lives helps bind us together into a more cohesive society and hopefully gives us a deeper appreciation for everything and everyone around us. Homecomings and other worship rites are full of symbolisms that can keep us grounded no matter the religious denomination. “Blest Be the Tie That Binds.” Summer Constellation: Delphinus the DolphinBy David R. MooreDelphinus (pronounced del-fine-nus) is a small con-stellation located in the east-southeast sky. Look for the Summer Triangle, and Delphinus is near Altair. The star marks the triangle’s lower right-hand corner. To the left of Altair, about two fists-width at arm’s length is the faint, slightly sideways diamond of stars. This diamond outlines the jumping dolphin’s torso, and another star to the lower right of the diamond marks the tail. According to Greek mythology, how Delphinus got in the sky is centered around a musical superstar (of that time) named Arion. He sang and played his harp all over the ancient world, and the people loved him. He had a yacht and crew that rowed him around the Greek isles and beyond. Although he was rich, he became a cheapskate when paying his crew. Their resentment built up as, time after time, he climbed back on the ship with sacks of coins yet refused to pay them their wages. After a successful performance in Sicily and boarding the boat again with bags of cash, the infuriated crew jumped him and put him on a plank for his final stroll. They didn’t believe his promises of payment, but they allowed him to play his harp one last time. Standing out on the plank, he sang for all his might, and his music was so beautiful that dolphins gathered below and sang along. He extended his song as long as he could, but when the final chorus ended, into the ocean, he went.The dolphins were impressed by his music, and Delphi-nus, the largest of the group, hoisted the drowning Arion out of the water and onto his back. Delphinus gave Arion a ride back to Greece, where Arion and his music lived on. The gods of Mount Olympus were so pleased about Arion’s rescue that they raised the great dolphin to the ce-lestial sea, where he swims in the stars every night.

Sheek, chair of the first hospital board.Sheek told him, “You can go anywhere in North Carolina you want to go, but you won’t find a better place than Mocksville.” Slate accepted the job, and they returned to California to get their two young daughters and pack up their belongings. A few days later, a fierce snow storm welcomed them to their first home on Avon Street, close to both the hospital and his first office on Wilkesboro Street.In 1959 they welcomed their son Kenneth and in 1962 built and moved into their home on North Main Street where he has lived ever since. He established his second office in the former Meroney building in downtown Mocksville until he built his office on Hospital St., from which he retired in 1991.His post-retirement involvement in numerous businesses and charitable organizations has added a few new titles to his resume and duplicated others including member, president, chief, chair, expert, facilitator, tutor, director, supervisor and consultant.In 1997, his desire to continue serving his community led him to run for Mayor of Mocksville, a position he held until 2015. He served as a Mocksville town commissioner for 10 years and as a county commissioner for 12 years.Slate is a “people person”. He is happiest when he is reaching out to friends and relatives to celebrate their joys or cheer them up when life has let them down. “I feel it was my responsibility to help the people of Davie County in any way that I could. This was one of the purposes of my life,” he said.Last year’s Covid virus protocols prevented him from going into places where he normally enjoyed bumping into people. Today he still feels safer staying at home, but he misses contact with folks he enjoyed having chance meetings with.A trip to the grocery store was a place where he could potentially see former patients and coworkers, fellow Rotarians, or perhaps someone whose life he touched in 2008, the year he was named Special Olympics Volunteer of the Year.Though not out in public as much as he wants to be, he is busy at home. He waters outdoor plants during these hot summer days. To his dismay, he no longer mows the grass since his family hid the keys to his riding mower a few months ago. When indoors, he likes to read, solve Sudoku puzzles, watch TV and play games on the computer. He keeps up with local, national, and world news.Following Daphne’s death in 2017, Jill and her husband Stokes Gatewood moved in with him. “Doc is amazing. He still has an incredible zest for life at 100. He is a true inspiration to all,” said Stokes Gatewood. “Daddy would be so surprised and happy to receive birthday cards from anyone who would like to congratulate him on reaching age 100 on Aug. 23,” said Jill Gatewood.Send cards to Francis Slate, 1100 N.

Anderson Manager & Mortician DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Aug. 11, 2022 - 5 This is the sixth in a series highlighting the people behind the named scholarships administered by the Davie Community Foundation. “We will continue to highlight a few each week during the summer to honor and remember those who are making a positive difference in our community,” said Jane Simpson, foundation president and CEO.Remembered this week are three people who wanted to encourage and support future educators. They were teachers who understood the value of education. Two future teachers from the Class of 2022 are preparing to leave for college with an investment from these scholarships and will hopefully want to return to Davie County after college to live and teach, Simpson said.“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.”Helen C. Gantt Helen C. Gantt knew at an early age that education and hard work would play a significant role in her life. Her mother was a high school history teacher while her father owned and operated a welding shop after serving in the US Navy. Both parents valued education and challenged her to put forth her best effort academically. After graduating from Appalachian State University with a teaching degree, Helen settled in Davie County in 1968 to begin teaching and raising a family. She raised two children that still reside in Davie County and share her passion to make a difference. As an educator, Helen had the opportunity to make lifelong friends and touch the lives of her students. To this day, her children are often reminded of how she made learning fun and the way she took time to listen or to offer assistance after school so that one child would not suffer or feel left out. Her giving spirit and infectious smile lit up the day for many of her students.Giving in to an entrepreneurial calling, she stepped away from teaching and opened Gantt Personnel Inc. in 1988. She had accepted the challenge of helping those in the community find jobs to help support their families. Her staffing agency would go on to touch the lives of more than 30,000 employees before closing in March of 2005.Gantt was diagnosed with cancer in 1996 and lost her battle with this disease in November of 1998. Before she passed, she shared with friends and family that her personal success had been sculpted by others in her life. She encouraged those around her to accept life’s challenges, explore opportunities, and respect people you meet for you never know how they may impact your life.James and Esther WallJames and Esther Wall believed in education and in supporting young people who wish to pursue a career in education. They were dedicated teachers who worked to educate students and make Davie a better place to live and work.Mrs. Wall taught high school English and elementary grades for 30 years, 25 in Davie County.She had high expectations but cared about her students and worked to help each of them achieve success. Mr. Wall taught history for 32 years, 30 in Davie County. He sparked an interest in the history of the county in many of his students. Mr. Wall served on the Mocksville Town Board for 20 years. He has been referred to as an historian, educator, and statesman. In October 2008, he was presented with the Order of the Long Leaf Pine to honor his service to the community. Mr. Wall is the author of “A History of the First Presbyterian Church of Mocksville,” and an updated edition in 1997. After completing his first book, he was encouraged by Miss Flossie Martin and other community members to write a definitive history of Davie County. After some five years of part-time research and writing, Mr. Wall published the “History of Davie County” in 1969 and two updated editions in 1985 and 1997. He, with his wife’s help, also recorded other historical data over 50 years.Together the Walls raised Scholarships for aspiring educators have been established in memory of Helen Gantt (left) and Esther and James Wall. Houses, Decks, Driveways Gutter Cleaning, Roof Wash three children and were proud grandparents of four. Their oldest daughter Nancy followed in her father’s footsteps and taught history in Missouri. Son Jim became an oncologist and daughter Carol a nurse in a trauma unit. All serve their respective communities as their parents did in Davie County.

He also served in the U.S. Army National Guard in the 1950s Korean Conflict. During his early years at West-ern Electric, he studied engineer-ing courses through NC State College Extension classes at night for five years. He advanced through engineering and management achieving Senior Machine Development Engineer and Level 4 Supervisor. He was recognized for his numerous patents and published technical articles. He was instrumental in the development and production of the Nike Ajac guided missile control system proven in White Sands, N.M., the first cellular telephone system developed in Oak Park, Ill., and the first fully automated production line for carbon resistors. He was also a pioneer in the de-velopment and publication of a company wide program to recruit, train, and retain technical employees which was soon adopted and used by other industries.Grady, also known as “Grady Sr.”, “The Original Grady”, and sometimes, “Buddy”, was born at home and lived during the Great Depression with 5 siblings and had experienced being cold and hungry. Surviving those harsh times required the love and support of good parents, team-work, and a lot of hard work and determination. He ex-emplified the McClamrock trait of hard work and striving for perfection in all he set out to do. He had a multitude of interests, including raising all types of birds, tropical fish, and cows and won awards for his parakeets. He bought, renovated, sold, and leased many homes and enjoyed the challenges of maintaining and managing rental property. When the construction of Interstate 40 split the family farm in 1966, he bought the northern portion from his par-ents and built his home there where he resided until his death. He did a lot of the work himself, including making the kitchen cabinets, dining room, and living room fur-niture and stonework. He was especially happy enjoying his back porch with the tranquil view of the geese on the lake and cows grazing in the pasture. He loved the family farm and serenity it brought him and worked with his son, Grady Jr., in keeping the farm productive and in the fam-ily. He was happiest when he could take something old, shabby, or broken and with a lot of hard work and patience turn it in to something beautiful and useful.Grady loved and was a member of Oak Grove Unit-ed Methodist Church since childhood, served on many boards and committees, and was generous to his church with his time and resources. He was also active at Lewis-ville Methodist Church, Lewisville Civic Club, Dutchman Creek Watershed District, and Mocksville Masonic Lodge #134. He was also a significant benefactor of the Davie Community Foundation with the Cognition facility named in his honor.Grady married Sylvia Jo Gentry in 1951 and was father of Grady Lee McClamrock Jr. (Cathy) of Mocksville, and Larry Joe “Buddy” McClamrock of Raleigh. Grady mar-ried Lucy Shaffer Allen in 1991 who remained a loving and devoted helpmate and partner in the real estate busi-ness. They enjoyed many years of traveling to France, Pan-ama, Alaska, and many states in America. In his declining years, Lucy took special care of him that insured that he was able to remain at home until very near his death.In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by: his siblings, William Raymond McClamrock, Pauline Mc-Clamrock Vaughn, Ethel McClamrock Myers, and Mary Nell McClamrock Conrad.Surviving, in addition to his loving wife Lucy, and sons Grady Jr. and Buddy, are: stepdaughters, Teresa Allen Draughn (Michael), Linda Allen Foster, Wanda Cranfill, and Judy Winebarger (David); grandchildren, Joseph Gray McClamrock, Grady Lee McClamrock III (Huong), Adam Wesley McClamrock (Felicia), Anna Elizabeth McClam-rock Roth (Chris); step-grandchildren, Dustin Boger, Clin-ton Southern (Amber), Jessie Tuberbile, Kim Cranfill, Da-vid Winebarger Jr., Mitchell Edward Garner (Regina), and Micah Ethan Garner (Erin), Casey Bailey (Bridgett), and Tina Dyson (Brian); great-grandchildren, Madison Grace McClamrock, Olivia Carolyn McClamrock, Sinclair Ann McClamrock, Cub Wesley McClamrock, Ava Noelle Gar-ner, Cole Jackson Garner, Isla Jade Garner, Hunter Boger, and others; and hs baby brother, James Ronald McClam-rock.

With pride, his father gift-ed him a ‘55 Ford, with the ob-jective of using this resource to carry workers back and forth to RJ Reynolds. Leroy aspired to do more and secured his first "real job" at Florentine Corp. He later became an entrepreneur, opening Benson's Grill on Cherry Street.

About once a month, my family members would meet at a restaurant south of Nashville called Uncle Bud's. Some of the best, classic, southern fried catfish anywhere in the South were served at this down-home family diner. The crispy white fish is delicious, with assorted dipping sauces. And no catfish dinner is complete without an array of complimentary southern sides. The meal is often finished off with sweet and sour tastes of a homemade, fresh citrus pie - the perfect dessert to follow a dinner of fried cats. I do love my summer seafood – even fried and with dessert – it just feels lighter. Like other southern delicacies, catfish might be an acquired and refined taste. The good news is you can prepare any white fish fillets using these methods. And the sauces are delicious with any fish. Most cooking methods are simple. If using an oven – just open the door and stick it in. Well, it's almost that easy. Today's recipes are in memory of my friend, Mike, who passed away over a month ago. I got to know Mike and his mother, Carolyn, when he rented an apartment from me. When Mike moved out, he stayed local. Whenever Carolyn came to town, they'd call me to meet up at a local restaurant that served catfish on Friday nights. I don't think I'll ever eat catfish again without memories of those nights – and the new friendships with which God blessed me. Over time, every new friendship becomes old – valuable like gold. When I was a Girl Scout, we sang this old campfire song based on a poem, "Make new friends but keep the old, one is silver, and the other is gold." Found in a 1925 Girl Scout Songbook, the first verse was sung in a round similar to Three Blind Mice. The song encourages us to value our old friendships while continuing to make new ones. There's value in stable relationships developed over time. A friend's 92-year-old mother once told me, "Make and keep all the friends you can because when you get my age, you'll need them." Speaking of scouting – who remembers the friendship squeeze? While in a circle, you crossed your right arm over your left and took both girls' hands beside you. One person began the squeeze – it went around the circle, ending with the one who started it. A passing of the friendship, so to speak – a reminder that we are all connected.Interesting to note, back in 1964, I earned a Cookie Honor badge for selling 50 boxes of Girl Scout Cookies – an accomplishment back in those days. Besides cake, cookies are my favorite sweet treat. But then again – I'm not dissing on pies. And cookie crusts are especially tasty. I hope you enjoy a little catfish followed by an after-dinner swash of summertime's squeeze – that of tangy citrus – in a pie.

But the cupboard is not bare. The War Eagles are coming off a 22-5 season that saw them tie for first in the Central Piedmont Conference, and eighth-year coach Amber Brandon has plenty of girls capable of keeping them at or near the top of the conference. “We can surprise some people,” Brandon said. “A lot of people are probably thinking about how many we graduated and not necessarily what was behind them. We grad-uated some really big pieces, but we’ve got some big pieces from last year’s team returning.”Brandon considered Loj and Kiah Mathis the finest pair of middles in the CPC a year ago. She thinks the same could be true in 2022 between Mathis and Gracie Wilson. Both are seniors. “I feel really good about that again this season,” she said. “Gra-cie had a great season in club. She worked really hard in the offseason and is playing a great game right now. So she’ll fill that role of Ai-mee as middle two.”Davie has five seniors, includ-ing Emma Hayes, Emily Garner and Camden Hurst. “Emma was the primary setter last year on varsity,” she said. “She’s been on varsity since she was a freshman. She’s playing confident and is setting a really good game right now. She could have a special season.“Emily was one of the captains last year. She is one of the most By Brian PittsEnterprise Record Carson Whisenhunt, a 21-year-old lefthanded pitcher from Mocksville, received a substantial signing bonus after getting picked in the second round by the San Francisco Giants. The bonus: $1,868,720, which was more than $800,000 over the slot value ($1,054,700) of where he was picked (66th overall). •••Whit Merrifield became the face of the franchise in Kansas City, but his seven-year run with Whisenhunt earns $1.8M signing bonus Merrifield, Walker traded as Davie baseball penetrates MLB the Royals ended right before the clock for the Aug. 2 trade deadline expired as he was dealt to Toronto. He was traded for second base-man/outfielder Samad Taylor and righthanded pitcher Max Castillo. There was speculation about Merrifield being traded at the 2019 deadline, at the 2019 winter meetings, at the 2020 deadline and during the 2021 season. KC decid-ed to keep their versatile star each time. But with the Royals headed toward a sixth straight losing sea-son, they decided to make a deal. Merrifield went from a 41-63 last-place team to a playoff contender. The Blue Jays were 57-45 and in second place in the American League East when they grabbed Merrifield. “We just looked to capitalize on a player that had value in this game,” KC General Manager J.J. Picollo said. Merrifield, 33, will go down as a Royals all-timer. He made two All-Star teams (2019, 2021). Three times he led the majors in steals (2017, 2018, 2021). Twice he led the majors in hits (2018, 2019). He once led the majors in triples (2019). He put together the longest hitting streak in KC history (31 games spanning the end of 2018 and the beginning of 2019). He played in 553 consecutive games from June 24, 2018-July 11, 2022, which was the longest streak in franchise history and the longest in Major League Baseball since 2007. Merrifield went 5 for 13 in his first three games for Toronto. In his debut on Aug. 4, he played center field, batted eighth and went 2-5 with a run and an RBI as Toronto won 9-3 in the first game of a three-game series at Minnesota. The next day he led off, played center field and second base and went 2-5 with a run in a 6-5, 10-inning loss. And in a 7-3 loss on Saturday, he played center field, batted eighth and went 1-3. •••These are unprecedented times for Davie High baseball products. Another pro from Davie, Jeremy Walker, was in the news last week for getting traded from the Giants organization to Tampa Bay. The 6-5 righthander was exchanged for catcher/infielder Ford Proctor. Walker, 27, was a fifth-round pick by the Braves in 2016. He Please See MLB - Page B3 By Brian PittsDavie Enterprise Record The second-seeded Carolina Cobras raced past visiting Colum-bus, 65-51, in the semifinals of the National Arena League playoffs, and former Davie War Eagle Adam Smith was huge on both sides of the ball in the victory that vaulted the Cobras to the Aug. 13 cham-pionship game. While the No. 3 Lions checked out at 7-6, the Cobras improved to 10-5. The game was held July 30 at the Greensboro Coliseum. The Lions, who took two of three from Carolina in the regular season, had early success, bursting to a 10-0 lead in the first quarter. But nine minutes after falling be-hind by two scores, Carolina had a 21-10 lead. It led 35-24 at half-time, all 35 coming in the second quarter, and never relinquished it. “(Reaching the championship game) has developed into an By Brian PittsEnterprise Record Marco Rebollar is starting from the foundation in his first year as the Davie boys soccer coach. He has checked one box in a big way. He had to find assistant coaches, and it’s hard to imagine he could have done any better constructing a staff. One assistant, Scott McBain, played college (University of Cal-ifornia, Berkeley) and professional soccer (in Canada). He will coach the JV team. Another assistant, Tyler Din-kins, has head-coaching experi-ence at the high school level. And another assistant, Nate Hinshaw, is a fitness guru who will chart the stats. It looks like a fantastic group of coaches to help Rebollar as he takes on a monumental challenge. Davie went 2-16-1 last year and 0-12 the season before that. “Scott’s been around the game the longest out of all of us,” Re-bollar said. “I think he’s been in Davie County for three years. He played professional soccer, he’s got a wealth of knowledge and he’s coached at higher levels. He has also coached high school soc-cer. He has a daughter who was an All-American soccer player at Texas, so he’s been around the game and knows the game. He’s a huge addition to have to help our younger guys develop and learn the game. He’s full of energy out there. He’s a great guy. I’ll be picking his brain.”How did Rebollar find McBain, who is not a teacher? “He found us,” he said. “He approached Davie about being interested in coaching in the soc-cer program, and they gave me his contact info. He’s having a ball doing it. Adding Scott was a blessing.”Rebollar, Dinkins and Hinshaw are a natural fit. All three grew up in Yadkin County and attended Forbush. Hinshaw, 31, graduated from Forbush in 2009, the other two in 2010. “(Dinkins and I) played high school and travel soccer togeth-er,” Rebollar said of the Davie social studies teacher. “It was luck (to hook up with him at Davie) because he’s got head-coaching experience. He coached girls and boys soccer at North Iredell before he went to Davie. So having him is huge.”And then there’s Hinshaw. “He’s our strength-and-condi-tioning guy and he’s our statisti-cian,” he said. “I’ve known Nate for a long time. He’s a good buddy Girls just wanna have fun Basketball camp at Davie High is more than learning some fundamentals of the game, it’s about seeing friends, making new ones and having fun.

She’s going to go 100 percent after every ball. She’s never go-ing to give up. She’s always going to be talking. She’s always going to do exactly what you ask her to do. “For the past three years, Camden battled injury after injury. I’m really excited about her. She had a really good club year. She jumps really, really well and has a high reach.”Davie has six juniors in Hailey Johnson, Lau-ren O’Connor, Mikaylah Hutton, Caroline Lakey, Malia Privett and Taylor Smith. The only sophomore is Emma Willard.“Hailey and Emma Wil-lard worked hard in the off-season and played a really competitive club schedule,” she said. “I’m excited. We went to Surry Community College to play a summer scrimmage and Willard had a phenomenal night.“Lauren was the leader of the JV the last two years. She is a good defender, so we might use her as a de-fensive specialist. “(Hutton) is a big piece. Caroline is one of the most polished ball-control kids. She will fill some of the shoes in ball control we had with Kimball and Peyton. “Malia had a breakout season last year on JV. She grew a lot. She has what I call a heavy arm. She hits the ball hard. She also pro- Contend ... vides a good block. We have the potential to be a really good blocking team. “Taylor has had a major knee injury going on for the last year. She’s working through PT (physical thera-py) . We’re hoping we get her back soon ... a defensive specialist that can help us shore up our ball control.”Carly Crouch, the only freshman, is skilled enough that she has made an over-night jump from middle school to varsity. “She is 6-1, pushing 6-2,” Brandon said. “She’s athletic and has a knack for the game. She picks up on the game really quick. She’s one of those kids that you just have to show her something one time and she can do it. I think midway through the season she will be able to help us in the mid-dle role and free up Kiah and Gracie to be more flexible and swing at places other than just middle.”Last year the War Ea-gles shared first with West Forsyth, one win ahead of Reagan. Over the last five years they’ve finished sec- ond, tied for first, second, second, tied for first. Davie beat South Mecklenburg and South Iredell and advanced to the third round of the 4-A playoffs, the run ending at Ardrey Kell. Reagan had claimed the league 12 of 14 years before getting edged by Davie and West in 2021. But the Raid-ers are the odds-on favorite this fall.“Reagan probably has the most coming back,” Brandon said. “Reagan did not graduate any major piec-es. The obvious favorite would probably have to be Reagan just because they’re going to be experienced. They’re probably going to have nine or 10 seniors.”West could take step back after losing Clara LaRue. East Forsyth lost a horse in Kadynce Booth, but the Eagles aren’t necessarily going away thanks to a her-alded freshman class. “I think West is going to be a little bit down because Clara was a huge piece for so long,” Brandon said. “East has a couple of really good freshmen coming in. Kadynce was a big piece for them, but they’re going to be like a sleeper team. They could shock some people.”Davie has become a proud program with 7 win-ning seasons under Brandon - nothing close to a losing record - and have the goods to be in the hunt again. “I think we can be com-petitive,” said Brandon, 128-44 since taking over the program in 2015. “I think it’s going to be a good con-ference. Anybody can beat anybody. That’s one thing that makes the CPC so fun.” Continued From Page B1expectation from the fans and ownership,” Smith said. “It was our expectation the whole time.”The Cobras hit a field goal with 7:25 remaining to take a 51-37 lead. Instead of booming it deep, the kicker drilled a line drive off a Co-lumbus up-man and a Car-olina lineman recovered the ball at its 3-yard line. That set up the dagger - a Smith touchdown that all but as-sured a Carolina victory. “The whole game we had trick-play kicks up our sleeve,” Smith said. “We were squibbing it every-where and trying to pop it up. On our kickoff team, I stand right beside our kicker. I said: ‘Where are you going this time?’ He said: ‘I’m go-ing to kick it right at the guy in front of you.’ He kicked it square off the guy’s face mask and it went right back (to No. 62 of Carolina).“We were up two scores, but in arena football, two scores is not really a com-fortable lead. I think they were expecting us to milk the clock a little bit, but our coach let us take a shot.”On the first play follow-ing the recovery, Carolina’s quarterback went deep and connected with Smith for a 47-yard touchdown, his second catch of the game crushing Columbus’ hopes. How about this: The de-fender Smith beat was Mau-rice Leggett, who played for the Kansas City Chiefs from 2008-10 and the Detroit Lions in 2011. “He played in the NFL for a little bit, he played in the CFL pretty much his whole career and he’s had a really good arena career,” Smith said. “He was jump-ing any out move I was doing the whole day and he was guarding me pretty well. I told our quarterback before that drive: ‘If we run a post, I’m going to bend him the opposite way hard. Just stick with me.’ He said: ‘Do whatever you need to do.’ And it worked just as we had talked about. (Leg-gett) got turned around just enough for me to slip past him, and our quarterback threw a dart 45 yards down the field.“I’ve played against a lot of big-time guys. I’ve played the underdog role forever, so I’ve enjoyed going against guys who played at the University of Florida or guys who have played in the NFL. Being able to compete with them on a weekly basis definitely fuels my fire to be able to say I beat a guy who played for the Kansas City Chiefs.”Although Smith had been less than pleased with his defense during the regular season, he was clutch on that side of the ball, too. In the fourth quarter, he had two pass breakups in the end zone, and he intercepted a ball in the end zone late in the fourth. It was an oppor-tune time to get the first pick of his five-year Arena ca-reer. “I finally played some DB pretty well,” he said. “It was definitely my best game on defense.”The Cobras will face top-seeded Albany in New York on Saturday night at 7. The Empire are the reigning champions.Carolina took all three regular-season meetings, although each game was close. The scores were 59-51, 58-50 and 59-56. Can it do it a fourth time? “It’s hard to beat a team three times in a season, so we know it’s going to be hard to do it four times,” Smith said. Since this could be Smith’s final game, he is trying to go out on the high-est possible note. He and his wife will be moving to Maryland soon. “Realistically, it proba-bly could be,” he said. “This season I’ve been treating it as if it’s the last of every-thing in case nothing pops up or nothing is convenient enough to play. Coaches your whole life tell you to play like it’s your last play, and I’ve been doing my dang best to treat each day that way.” Smith...

By Brian PittsEnterprise Record After missing last year with a knee injury, Ronald Wilson of Mocksville is back on the football field and ready to help Western Carolina end a string of four losing seasons. “I feel like I’m better and the team is better,” Wilson said last week from Cullo-whee. “We’ve got a lot of transfers that came in and we should be good. We’ve got a lot of talent. We’re go-ing to have a great season.” Emily Agejew, a 2022 high school graduate who attended Davie Coun-ty schools through eighth grade before transferring to Bishop McGuinness, was named to the all-region team in soccer. Agejew, who was the goalkeeper for Ellis Middle in the seventh and eighth grades, was a team cap-tain for the Villains, who finished the 2022 season ranked third in the final Western North Carolina 1-A poll with an 18-5 record. She was a four-year varsity goalie at Bishop who was all-conference and all-re-gion as a junior. She was the goalie of the year as a junior at both the conference and region level. She played club soccer for NC Fusion, and she was a member of the champion-ship team in the State Games in the summer of 2021. “Emily (4.46 weighted GPA) was primarily our second goalkeeper her first two years, but her play as a junior and senior had a huge positive impact on the success of our team,” said former Bishop coach Ray Alley, a 40-year member of the United Soccer Coaches Association. “Emily provid-ed strong team leadership as a senior. The recognition she has received after her senior season is well deserved.”Later this month, Agejew will enroll at the University of Tennessee. Wilson, WCU are better Wilson was a fixture on the Davie varsity defen-sive line from 2015-18. He started his college career at Gardner-Webb, appear-ing in nine games in 2019. The 2020 season was can-celed by COVID-19. Wilson transferred to Western in the summer of 2021, but he had to watch every game from the sidelines after tearing his meniscus. The Catamounts went 4-7. Wilson is a 6-2, 330-pound redshirt sopho-more on Western’s d-line. It opens the season at home against Eastern Kentucky on Sept. 4. “Going into camp, I’m second string,” he said. “But I’m pretty sure I’m going to be a starter for the season. We’ve got different fronts and different schemes, de-pending on who we play.”Wilson is majoring in Business Administration. “It’s education first be-fore you’re an athlete,” he said. “Hopefully I can go to the NFL. I’m not sure what God has planned for me, but I know that I’m going to be a leader at whatever I do.” He pitched 37.1 innings, all but two at the Triple-A level, and had a 6.99 ERA as he works himself back into form. He has a respectable 3.91 ERA in 439.2 minor league innings. After the trade, Walker was added to the Triple-A Durham Bulls roster.

Following the expiration of the statutory upset bid period, all the remaining amounts are imme- diately due and owing. Pursuant to N.C. Gen. Stat. § 45-21.30, if the highest bidder at the sale, resale, or any upset bidder fails to comply with its bid upon the tender of a deed for the real property, or af- ter a bona fide attempt to tender such a deed, the clerk of superi- or court may, upon motion, enter an order authorizing a resale of the real property. The defaulting bidder at any sale or resale or any defaulting upset bidder is lia- ble for the bid made, and in case a resale is had because of such default, shall remain liable to the extent that the final sale price is less than the bid plus all the costs of any resale. Any deposit or com- pliance bond made by the default- ing bidder shall secure payment of the amount, if any, for which the defaulting bidder remains liable under N.C. Gen. Stat. § 45-21.30. Third party purchasers must pay the excise tax and THE RECORD- ING COSTS FOR THEIR DEED. Said property to be offered pursu- ant to this Notice of Sale is being offered for sale, transfer and con- veyance “AS IS WHERE IS.” There are no representations of warranty relating to the title or any physical, environmental, health or safety conditions existing in, on, at, or re- lating to the property being offered for sale. This sale is made sub- ject to all prior liens, unpaid taxes, any unpaid land transfer taxes, special assessments, easements, rights of way, deeds of release, and any other encumbrances or exceptions of record. To the best of the knowledge and belief of the undersigned, the current owner(s) of the property is/are Joe K. Loy and Sandra Loy. An Order for possession of the property may be issued pursuant to N.C. Gen. Stat. § 45-21.29, in favor of the purchaser and against the party or parties by the clerk of superior court of the county in which the property is sold. Any person who occupies the proper- ty pursuant to a rental agreement entered into or renewed on or after October 1, 2007, may, after receiving the notice of sale, termi- nate the rental agreement by pro- viding written notice of termination to the landlord, to be effective on a date stated in the notice that is at least 10 days, but no more than 90 days, after the sale date contained in the notice of sale, provided that the mortgagor has not cured the default at the time the tenant provides the notice of termination. The notice shall also state that upon termination of a rental agreement, the tenant is li- able for rent due under the rental agreement prorated to the effec- tive date of the termination [N.C. Gen. Stat. § 45-21.16(b)(2)]. Upon termination of a rental agreement, the tenant is liable for rent due un- der the rental agreement prorated to the effective date of the termi- nation. If the trustee is unable to convey ti- tle to this property for any reason, the sole remedy of the purchaser is the return of the deposit. Rea- sons of such inability to convey include, but are not limited to, the filing of a bankruptcy petition prior to the confirmation of the sale and reinstatement of the loan without the knowledge of the trustee. If the validity of the sale is chal- lenged by any party, the trustee, in their sole discretion, if they be- lieve the challenge to have merit, may request the court to declare the sale to be void and return the deposit.
