In fact, when Habitat for Humanity-Davie opens a new ReStore in the town this spring, it’s going to be one of the larg-est in the United States.During last Tuesday night’s Habitat for Humanity of Davie County presentation before the Bermuda Run Town Council, Dwayne Thompson, ReStore and Homeowner Services di-rector, said that the new store going into the Bermuda Quay shopping center on US 158 will have 26,760 square feet of space.“It’s going to be way differ-ent than any ReStore you’ve ever seen,” Thompson said. “Just to give you an idea, most ReStore’s in the U.S. aver-age about 16,000 square feet. There’s only about 10 ReStores in the U.S. that are over 25,000 square feet. So we’re going to become a flagship store of the United States here in Davie County.”The new ReStore will take up the large space on the west side of the shopping center that was formally occupied by Food Lion.Mayor Rick Cross said he and Town Manager Andrew Meadwell met with Thompson at the store recently to take a look at the space.“We are so excited about Habitat ReStore coming here,” That’s big New Habitat ReStore one of largest in country Please See Habitat - Page 11 Please See Meals - Page 9 2 ‑ DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Dec. 22, 2022Editorial Page In The Mail ...

My thanks to Mike Barnhardt and the Enterprise Record for giving me the space each week.Every year new funds are generously added through gifts and bequests that expand the foundation’s reach in our community.

I invite you to visit the foundation website at daviefoundation.org to look at the list and learn more about the possibilities for making a difference in our community.As 2022 comes to a close, I thank the many community members who are investing in Davie County through the foundation. I know personally how much our county de-serves the Top 10 designation.Wishing you the happiest of holidays with family and friends. We look forward to serving you in 2023.Jane Simpson, MocksvillePresident/CEO, Davie Community Foundation Davie residents among most benevolent To the editor:It takes courage to wear a police badge for even one day, much less let it be your profession. This courage is dem-onstrated when having to risk your life each day to protect and serve your community for its safety needs. However, being in law enforcement does not come with much respect from the outside world but it is necessary to make change. Law enforcement has had increased workloads as they put their lives at risk responding to calls while also deal-ing with the increase of intentional acts of violence against them. According to CNN, last year was the highest rate of intentional attacks and murders against law enforcement since Sept. 11, 2001, with a total of 79 felonious killings of officers last year, 25 of them were unprovoked.With that being said, law enforcement has not had the best reputation over the years. With the case of George Floyd and other intentional acts of violence on citizens from law enforcement, it has made it difficult for them to have support. Yes, some officers out there do not have the community’s best interest at heart, and yes, there are some who will let their prejudices sway their actions, but that is not most police officers. These are the few that should not be supported. Law enforcement does not condone these ac-tions, as this is not the way they are trained. For instance, one action that law enforcement agencies have taken is the implementation of body cameras to prevent misconduct. But the majority of law enforcement gets the backlash for the actions from a few due to the majority of people not having respect for law enforcement. Most of them are put-ting on their badge of courage every single day to ensure the safety of a community. To understand the impact of this disrespect on an offi-cer’s life, you need to know what my father, a local law en-forcement officer, goes through. A police officer is trained to serve and protect their community. They put on their uniform and go to work each and every day responding to calls for something as little as a wellness check or to something as serious as gun violence. These are everyday occurrences with calls that are far and between these. It begins to become a lifestyle as you respond to those calls. The line of work has become a part of my father’s life. My father, a Davie County Sheriff’s Deputy, and the North Carolina community college criminal justice training spe-cialist acts on being a deputy every day on and off duty. As a family of four, when we go out to eat, my dad will sit in a chair that allows him to see the entire establishment as his duty is to protect the community, in this instance his family and the restaurant. My mom, brother and I will choose our seats around him as we understand what is go-ing through his head. My father constantly looks up from his plate when someone walks in and scans the restaurant to make sure everyone is safe. It has just become a normal part of our dinners as it’s a part of his life as an officer. This is one of many thoughts that race through an officer’s head on duty or off duty.My family took a trip a few months ago to Memphis, Tenn. to visit Graceland. My family and I went to the gro-cery store the first night we arrived to get groceries for our stay. Upon entering the grocery store, my dad was aggres-sively confronted and asked if he was an officer because of his appearance. With feelings of pressure from being sur-rounded by multiple men, and being uncomfortable for our safety, we left the store with no questions asked. It was in this moment that I knew that I could not flaunt or be openly proud for the fact that my father works every day to pro-vide safety for communities. It was a scary moment in my life at 20 years old that this hate towards officers was real, and that my dad truly does not have support from every-one. It was a time when I realized that there may always be potential danger for me and my family from those who do not support. It is proven that there are incompetent cops out there who do not have the mentality to protect their community. But there are also officers who will put everything they have on the line to protect their community. It is a hard line of work and support is needed. A high degree of profes-sional conduct is expected from these officers but in return, respect from civilians needs to change. Not everyone can be perfect, but it would make it easier on a father and his family if there was the slightest bit of respect given.

A daughter who asks you to back the blue And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed. (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.) And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:) To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered. And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; be-cause there was no room for them in the inn.And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them,Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a man-ger.And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to an-other, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us.And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger. And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the say-ing which was told them concerning this child. And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds.But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart.And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them. Jesus is Born Always Room at the InnBy Julie Terry CartnerShivering, Grace moved closer to the group surrounding the barrel fire, hoping desperately to feel just a smidgen of warmth. Hands thrust deep into the pockets of her ski jacket, she thought of the winters when cold had meant she’d spent too much time on the slopes, when all she’d needed was to get inside the lodge and cradle a mug of hot apple cider as she warmed up beside the roaring fireplace. How the mighty have fallen, she thought. Only last year, that had been her life: ski trips, tropical vacations, and a home that others envied for its size and beauty, the house, always perfectly decorated, always pristine, and yet, al-ways cold in that bone chilling way that indicated a sterile and loveless life. When sterility had morphed to violence, she’d escaped, foregoing everything substantive as a worthwhile price for her freedom. Maybe she hadn’t realized how scary the world without money was. Maybe she hadn’t realized how cold the world was to the homeless. Maybe she hadn’t re-alized how accustomed she was to luxuries like food, hot showers, and warm beds, and how much she missed them now. But she was free, able to forge a new life, her own.Grace thought she’d prepared. But she hadn’t planned on her bookbag being stolen, right off her back. Faced with a knife at her throat, she’d released the bag contain-ing all of her possessions with barely a whimper. She was lucky they’d allowed her to keep her coat. And now, here she was, cold and scared, looking longingly at the home-less version of a fire pit, and wishing, desperately, that she could join the people surrounding it.As she stood, she heard the soft strains of music. Was that a harmonica? Were those voices crooning “O Little Town of Bethlehem,” “The Fist Noel,” and “Away in the Manger”? She realized she’d crept closer as the songs con-tinued, now actually feeling the warmth of the fire. Finally, when the group broke into “Silent Night,” she could resist no longer. Taking the last steps towards the fire, she sang along, “Silent night, holy night, all is calm, all is bright…” As the words continued, Grace marveled at the peace she was feeling. She should be terrified at this, her first night of homelessness, but instead, calmness prevailed. When she’d said, “I do,” four long years ago, she’d had no idea she’d be standing here one day. Homeless, hopeful, terri-fied, and yet joyful, singing hymns that embodied the es-sence of Christmas: promises of love, peace, joy. As the strains of the last words, “sleep in heavenly peace,” whispered away into the starlit sky, Grace felt her hands enveloped by strangers, a middle-aged woman on one side, a young man on the other. Without words, she’d been accepted, not judged by the quality of her coat or her recent manicure but instead, admitted into the fold. Per-haps they’d seen the fading bruises or the look of despera-tion on her face, perhaps not. They embraced her without judgement. No doubt there would be cashmere sweaters, fur-lined boots, and a new coat under the Christmas tree at her husband’s house, probably purchased by a person-al shopper while her husband spent the holiday in Aspen with his latest conquest, clothing that would keep her body warm, but attached to a life that kept her soul cold. But here, on this lonely and deserted street, she was enveloped in the warmth of other’s easy acceptance. Amidst the comfort of the blazing fire, Grace smiled at these kindred souls surrounding her. She marveled at those who had so little, yet still shared what they had. Tonight, she’d seen a different world. Tonight, she had been accept-ed by strangers, connected only by a common thread of homelessness, temporary though it might be. Tonight, there was room at the inn. These people had made that room for her. Tomorrow, well, she’d figure it out, but tonight she experienced the unconditional love of strangers; love far greater than the carelessness afforded her by those who were supposed to love her. Christmas MusicBy Marie CraigI have a big collection of Christmas music books that I enjoy savoring each year. Some of them are from spe-cial concerts when I was a teenager and sang in programs, so there are a lot of good memories that flutter out from those old books. I grew up in Black Mountain, and several churches would combine to form larger choirs for special Christmas programs. In college in Brevard, I joined a community chorus with weekly rehearsals to prepare for a special presentation of DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Dec. 22, 2022 - 3 Renegade ... Continued From Page 2“Handel’s Messiah.” I would be in awe of seasoned sing-ers who could hit the high notes and have enormous lung power for the long passages of elaborate sustaining words. The organists who could play that very complicated ac-companiment were amazing to me. At another location one year, the organist played for us with no music score in front of him. I still don’t understand how that is possible.My “Messiah” book is aged and reinforced on the cover with clear contact paper to hold it together. There is only one selection in the book that I can almost play. Seeing the markings and inserted old programs I have kept in it make me grateful to have shared that experience quite a few times.In addition to concerts, sometimes there will be “Messi-ah” sing-alongs. This is a wonderful experience for peo-ple who don’t have time to attend multiple rehearsals or who are uncertain of their own musical abilities. The one that comes to mind was when our two sons were about 10 and 12 years old. My husband was out of town on a business trip the night of the sing-along. I mentioned to my sons at supper that I wish I could go to that. “We’ll be just fine by ourselves -- you should go.” I had my doubts about leaving them alone and resisted. On that very cold day, I had washed clothes and thrown them on the bed to put away later. My nylon warm coat filled with down had been tossed on top. My sons insisted that I go because they knew how much I would enjoy it. The next thing I knew, I was standing on the front porch in my down coat, holding my “Mes-siah” book and my purse. They wouldn’t let me back in the house. So I went to the old church where the singing would take place. I finally warmed up enough to remove my coat which crackled with the cold static. I heard peo-ple behind me laughing but didn’t know what was funny. Finally, a woman sitting behind me leaned up and whis-pered, “You have a sock on your back.” I quickly reached behind me and jerked it off to cram it into my pocket. When I got home, I accused my sons of trying to embarrass me. They quickly denied it, so I guess the cold weather and my nylon coat created the attraction.

The morning of the visit, I helped her dress, and Nick assisted her into the wheelchair. She managed to get into the truck, and we left for Deano’s, where we had ordered sandwiches which we ate in the truck.While the nurse did her assessment, Faye’s blood ox-ygen dropped to eighty-one percent, her blood pressure dropped, and her pulse rate increased. Her doctor sent her by ambulance to the ER at Advance for assessment, where we spent about six hours. They did a CT scan of her brain and determined the bleed had not returned. When she ap-peared stable, they discharged her home with a follow-up appointment with her doctor the next day.Her doctor made the appointment by video, so Faye did not have to travel. The doctor added medication for a UTI and made referrals to PT for physical therapy and a follow-up home health care assessment. PT started her on exercises she can do in bed but will not allow her to try to stand. Home health has not called to schedule yet, so Nick is on his own except for volunteer help from family and friends.When I returned to Oriental, my contractor came and completed half the finishing work, which I hope he accom-plishes before Friday when I return to Advance. I plan to stay with Faye until the twenty-second when Kendra and I leave for Florida for Christmas and Vann’s wedding. The best part of returning home has been spending time with my youngest grands, who are excited about their Christ-mas plans.Faye had a few friends visit, and a couple plan to bring food while I am there. I will have little time to visit as I plan to stay with her and give Nick a break. I enjoyed the pictures of the Advance Parade posted on Facebook. Vance enjoyed riding his bike and Miss Advance Mary Nell Jones had a beautiful smile.I spoke by phone with Bill Evans, who is starting more intensive physical therapy to help him return home to in-dependent living, and I am praying this will be possible for him. I was sorry to hear of the death of a schoolmate who also attended our church when he was young. He has a sis-ter my age who died young, as did their mother. And a sis-ter who died after a prolonged bout of cancer. My prayers are with this family.I wish everyone a Happy and blessed Christmas and hope all can appreciate the family and blessing we all have despite the losses.

By Carole DemmyHoly Cross Lutheran Chrismons are the gold and white Christmas tree ornaments depicting the life of Christ and other religious symbols. Chrismons originated in 1957 and were first made for use on the Christmas tree at Ascension Lutheran Church in Danville, Va. They were designed and created by Frances Kipps Spencer, a member of that congregation. All of the designs have been used by the followers of Jesus for 2,000 years and are the heritage of all Chris-tians of all denominations. Many churches have trees covered with Chrismons, whose gold and white col-ors symbolize the purity and By Carole DemmyHoly Cross Lutheran Holy Cross Lutheran Church has been busy this fall with gathering items and making blankets. Over the last few months, members of the congrega-tion have put together 20 purses including personal care items for Our Daily Bread food pantry at Church of the Ascension Episco-pal Church on Fork-Bixby Road. For “Socktober”, 227 pair of new socks were given to the clients at the City with Dwellings in Winston-Salem, a resource for folks struggling with homeless-ness. To benefit Ukraine refu-gees, 20 personal care pack-ages were taken to Augs-burg Lutheran Church, a gathering site for such items in Winston. From there the many boxes will be sent to help those in need. For Christmas, Holy Cross members put together 50 gift bags containing a blanket, a pair of non-skid socks, and lotion. These were taken to the Mocks-ville Senior Living Center for presentation to the resi-dents there. The Big Brothers and Big Sisters organization also benefited by receiving 18 blankets for their young people. Much of the cost for the projects were covered by Thrivent Action Cards.The congregation is plan-ning to do projects all year long, rather than only at Christmas, since the needs are great throughout the year. majesty of Jesus. Gold and white are also the liturgi-cal colors of the Christmas season, while the tree itself symbolizes the eternal life that Jesus provides.Holy Cross Lutheran Church, 1913 US 601 S., Mocksville, has a Chris-mon tree displayed in the sanctuary. These ornaments were made by members of the congregation over the last several decades and are hung on the Christmas tree every year. With its white lights and Chrismon orna-ments, the tree is a real story of the life of Jesus Christ. The Christmas Eve wor-ship service will be at 7 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 24. This will be a service of scrip-ture reading, carols, and Holy Communion. Prior to worship, from 5-6:30 p.m., folks can be photographed in front of a beautiful fire-place backdrop. This free photo will be sent to the individuals digitally. Wor-ship on Christmas Day will be at 9 a.m. and will include scripture, prayers, and car-ols. All are welcome.

Continued From Page 1Cross said. “It will bring an additional level of vitality to that shopping center.”Council member Mike Ernst added, “I think it’s great addition to the com-munity. I’ve lived here 23 years, and seeing something finally in that space after the Food Lion moved out is a big plus. I think that com-pletes the center being full.”Thompson said that Re-Store is a fundraising arm for Habitat and a place where the community can donate and purchase good usable items at a discounted price. All the money that is raised in the local ReStore will stay in Davie County.Thompson, who previ-ously served in a similar role in Forsyth County, said that the four stores in the neighboring county have generated almost $4 million a year – with 30 percent of that coming from Davie.“Do the math real quick,” he said. “That’s about $1.2 million we were losing in Davie County.”According to Thompson, the opening date for the new facility is April 1.Tamara Taylor, executive director, said that Habitat-Davie is celebrating its 28th year in Davie and has gone through a restructuring and reorganization after CO-VID, adding two new staff members in Thompson, and Jessie Elmore, who is the di-rector of operations. Taylor said she is excited about the new ReStore com-ing to Bermuda Run. “It was very strategic for us to focus on this end of 330 S. Salisbury Street • Mocksville, NC 27028(336) 751-3538 • www.howardrealty.com the county,” she said. “Yes, we do have a property that we were going to build a campus on in Mocksville that we purchased, but we just felt we needed to be here and get those donations back across the river – keep our Davie County stuff in Davie County.”Taylor added she hoped a ministry office could be added in the new ReStore with the significant amount of square footage available.“We are still working on the upfit cost for that and trying to get that figured out budget-wise,” she said. “What we do does give a positive economic impact back to the community.” The global nonprofit housing organization works in local communities across all 50 states in the U.S. and in approximately 70 countries with a vision of a world where everyone has a decent place to live.•In a proposed action item, the council approved a community project funding application and resolution for the submittal of a for-mal application to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development for a grant of $3.65 million for the Town of Bermuda Run Recreational Infrastructure and Safety Improvements. Meadwell said that the town did not request this funding, but in 2021 repre-sentatives from RISE and Truist Sports Park asked Sen. Richard Burr’s office to consider and support im-provements to help address life safety issues with only one single access point and 50 percent of the property residing in the Yadkin River Basin flood plain.“As many of us know, access to the park during certain rain events has cre-ated issues as far as safety,” Meadwell said.He noted that the town would be acting as a “pass through” for this agreement with the Piedmont Triad Re-gional Council to manage the project. Improvements for RISE and Truist Park would include the widen-ing of Twins Way – with the addition of a turning lane – along with road painting and traffic markings.Other key elements, which would also benefit the town, would include en-hancements to the existing playground, the opening of the Bert Bahnson Pedestrian Bridge with the trailhead on the other side with traffic signage and parking, and a paved trail to the RISE fa-cility.In other highlights from this month’s meeting, the council:• Approved a recom-mendation from the town manager to amend the General Fund budget to ac-cept $3,000 from the Da-vie County Community Foundation as revenue and expend that amount for ex-penses related to the 2022 Christmas in the Town of Bermuda Run event. Crowd estimates were that more than 3,000 attended the community celebration on Dec. 5.• Approved text amend-ment 2002-01 Self-Storage Warehousing in the Village Mixed Zoning District fol-lowing a public hearing where no one spoke.• Approved the adoption of policies for the expen-diture of American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, including conflict of interest policy, eligible use policy, allow-able cost policy, records retention policy and non-discrimination policy.• Heard from Meadwell that the NCDOT has cho-sen the route for the pro-posed new I-40 interchange at Baltimore Road and that the timeline of construction starting is March 2025.

That’s because each Vault Bag is known to contain nearly 3 pounds of Gov’t issued coins some dating back to the 1800’s including all those shown in today’s publication. In addition, after each bag is loaded with over 200 rarely seen coins, each verified to meet a minimum collector grade of very good or above, the dates and mint marks are never searched to determine collector values. So you better believe at just $980 these unsearched Vault Bags are a real steal. “The vaults at Federated Mint are going empty,” said Laura A. Lynne, Director of Coin and Currency for Federated Mint. That’s because a decision by Federated Mint to release rarely seen U.S. Gov’t issued coins, some worth up to 50 times their face value, means unsearched Vault Bags loaded with U. S. Gov’t issued coins dating back to the 1800’s are now being handed over to U.S. residents who find the first three digits of their zip code listed in today’s publication. “But don’t thank the Government. As Director of Coin and Currency for Federated Mint, I get paid to inform and educate the general public regarding U.S. coins. Ever since the decision by Federated Mint to release rarely seen Gov’t issued coins to the general public — I’m being asked how much are the unsearched Vault Bags worth? The answer is, there’s no way to tell. Coin values always fluctuate and there are never any guarantees, but we do know this. Each unsearched bag weighs nearly 3 pounds and is known to contain rarely seen Morgan Silver Dollars and these coins alone could be worth $40 - $325 in collector value each according to The Official Red Book, a Guide Book of United States Coins. So there’s no telling what you’ll find until you search through all the coins. But you better believe at just $980 these unsearched Vault Bags are a steal,” said Lynne. “These are not ordinary coins you find in your pocket change. These are rarely seen silver, scarce, collectible and non-circulating U.S. coins dating back to the 1800’s so we won’t be surprised if thousands of U.S. residents claim as many as they can get their hands on. That’s because after the bags were loaded with nearly 3 pounds of Gov’t issued coins, each verified to meet a minimum collector grade quality of very good or above, the dates and mint marks were never searched to determine collector values and the bags were securely sealed. That means there’s no telling what you’ll find until you search all the coins,” said Lynne. The only thing U.S. residents who find their zip code printed in today’s publication need to do is call the National Toll-Free Hotline before the Dollars, a historic Peace Silver Dollar, stunning Silver Walking Liberty Half Dollars, the collectible Silver Eisenhower Dollars, spectacular Silver Liberty Head Half and Quarter Dollars, rarely seen Silver Franklin Half Dollars, high demand President Kennedy Silver Half Dollars, beautiful Silver Standing Liberty Quarter Dollars, American Bicentennial Quarters, rare Liberty V Nickels, one cent Historic Wheat Coins including 1943 “Steel Cents”, one of the beautiful Winged Liberty Head Dimes, scarce Indian Head one cent U.S. coins and the last ever minted Buffalo Nickels. “With all these collectible Gov’t Issued coins up for grabs we’re going to do our best to answer all the calls,” said Lynne. Thousands of U.S. residents stand to miss the deadline to claim the U.S. Gov’t issued coins. That means U.S. residents who find the first three digits of their zip code listed in today’s publication can claim the unsearched bags of money for themselves and keep all the U.S. Gov’t issued coins found inside. Just be sure to call before the deadline ends 48 hours from today’s publication date.■ 48-hour deadline ends. This is very important. After the Vault Bags were loaded with over 200 Gov’t issued coins, each verified to meet a minimum collector grade quality of very good or above, the dates and mint marks were never searched to determine collector values. The Vault Bag fee has been set for $1,500 for residents who miss the 48-hour deadline, but for those U.S. residents who beat the 48-hour deadline the Vault Bag fee is just $980 as long as they call the National Toll- Free Hotline before the deadline ends. “Remember this, we cannot stop collectors from buying up all the unsearched bags of coins they can get in this special advertising announcement. And you better believe with each bag being loaded with nearly 3 pounds of Gov’t issued coins we’re guessing they’re going to go quick,” said Lynne. The phone lines will be ringing off the hook beginning at precisely 8:30 a.m. this morning. That’s because each unsearched Vault Bag is loaded with the rarely seen coins pictured left and highly sought after collector coins dating clear back to the 1800’s including iconic Morgan Silver ■UNSEARCHED:Pictured above are the unsearched Vault Bags being handed over to North Carolina residents who call the National Toll-Free Hotline before the 48-hour deadline ends. And here’s the best part. Each Vault Bag is loaded with over 200 Gov’t issued coins, including all the coins pictured in today’s publication, some dating back to the 1800’s and worth up to 50 times their face value. Each coin is verified to meet a minimum collector grade of very good or above before the bags are securely sealed and the dates and mint marks are never searched by Federated Mint to determine collector value.

These sweet treats are made with varieties of dried fruit, nuts, preserves, and holiday spices. Yes, I’m referring to a glorified – non-gag-worthy – seasonal fruitcake. My acquired taste resulted from the divine flavor combination of certain fruits and nuts minus the liquor. The sugar plum’s been popularized in poems and bal-let as a symbol of hope, seasonal splendor and childhood dreams. We all are familiar with the lines of the read-aloud childhood classic, “Twas the Night before Christmas,” a narrative poem first anonymously published in 1823 titled “A Visit from St. Nicholas.” In 1837, the poem was attributed to Biblical scholar Clement Clark Moore. The sweet sugar plum is found in this couplet:“The children were nestled all snug in their beds,While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads….”Without our traditions, holidays wouldn’t be the same. Your cel-ebrations might include serving some fruitcake or other cake with eggnog at Christmas. There were two things my parents always had at Christmas: a fresh flower ar-rangement for the dining room table and at least one of Ms. Gillispie’s homemade cakes on hand – either a prune, spice, or blackberry jam – all iced with a delicious, creamy caramel frosting. Ms. Gillispie was a local baker who lived across town. Also served were round cake balls frosted with white marshmallow icing and then rolled in flaky co-conut with boiled custard.My feelings about serving pre-baked goods are the same about decorating with fake greenery. If you’re going to use artificial greenery – add some fresh in with it. If you’re buying a cake, throw in a treat made from scratch. Another option is to buy a dessert at the grocery, take it home and dress it up and give it that “made from scratch” look. Sometimes we can’t do it all and that’s ok. But, if you’re going to bake, the holiday is not the time for substitutions: splurge on real butter, whole milk, and whipping cream. The days leading up to Christmas are like eating sugar plums. With every bite of a sweet treat, our days keep get-ting sweeter. In the Bible, the book of Psalms is known for providing sweet words of comfort. You, too, can discover the power of God’s forgiveness and everlasting love for us. Words of Psalm 19 were written by David and meant to show how both God’s word and His creation reveal God’s greatness. Psalm 19: 7-9 points out how living by God’s guidelines revives our soul, makes wise the simple, gives joy to our hearts and gives light to our eyes. God’s law illuminates our path in the darkness – His words guide us to joyfulness. “The fear of the Lord is pure, enduring forever. The ordi-nances of the Lord are sure and altogether righteous. They are more precious than gold, than much pure gold; they are sweeter than honey, than honey from the comb.” Psalm 19: 9-10. (NIV) Isn’t that just the sweetest passage you’ve ever read – like candy in our fruitcake?Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine. Oh, what a foretaste of glory divine.

Before that, the War Eagles were stuck in a four-game los-ing streak. Playing five teams (Forbush, West Rowan, Atkins, Reynolds and East Forsyth) that have a combined 36-10 record led to some low moments. Sydney Dirks and the War Eagles played exceptional on the defensive end at East Forsyth on Dec. 13, but the offense struggled mightily in 48-36 defeat. “The scorebook does not do it justice because we played our butts off,” coach Lindsey Adams said. “It’s not what we wanted offensively. We missed a lot of open looks and turnovers in the first quarter killed us. But once we settled in, we destroyed it (on defense).” Dirks embraced a challenging defensive assignment against La’Niya Simes, who did not hit a field goal all game. That’s sti-fling D. “Sydney played a box-and- Johnson catches fire; girls stop skid one on No. 11 the entire game,” Adams said. “She was (Central Piedmont Conference) player of the year last year, and we held her to six points (all on free throws). She is averaging a double-double (including a 19-point scoring average). I’m very proud of that. We will keep working and it will all come together.”Scoring for the War Eagles, who trailed 39-23 at halftime and 45-31 after the third quarter, were Malayka Rankin (eight), Lauren Colamarino (eight), Kenadi Gen-try (six), Peyton Spaugh (six), Bailey Aderhold (four), Johnson (two) and Keelyn Oakes (two). East, which shared first place in the regular season with Reagan last year, improved to 6-1 overall and 2-0 in the CPC. Davie 53, Reagan 42Johnson’s shooting galvanized Davie in the first quarter, Colama-rino played suffocating defense on Reagan’s big girl and the War Eagles took advantage of a re-demption opportunity against the visiting Raiders on Dec. 16. “We start every game like we’re 0-0,” Adams said after Davie Please See Fire - Page B5 By Brian PittsEnterprise Record Brysen Godbey flexed his muscles in Fort Mill, S.C., Davie’s wrestling team won three of four dual team matches last week and Hunter Testa is still undefeated. Davie’s first loss of the season came from Fred T. Foard, which is horror-movie scary. In the Kingsley Classic in Fort Testa 15-0; Davie wrestling 5-1 Mill on Dec. 9-10, Godbey went 4-2 to take fourth place at 220. He was the only War Eagle to place. Ryder Strickland went 3-2 at heavyweight. Luke Miller (2-1 at 138), Braxton Hunter (2-2 at 113), Lawson Hire (2-3 at 132) and Jamarius Pelote (2-3 at 152) picked up two wins each. Davie 43, EG 42In a tri-meet at Foard on Dec. 13, the War Eagles withstood a valiant rally by East Gaston and squeaked out a win. Pins by Andrew Davis at 126 and Hire at 132 staked Davie to a 12-0 lead. The Warriors stormed to a 24-12 lead before Jerred Alexander (170) and Christian Boswell (182) pulled Davie into a 24-24 tie with back-to-back pins. East Gaston forfeited to Brandon Wood, Godbey and Hunter; Davie forfeited at 106 and 120. The match was tied at 42 at the end, but Davie prevailed on criteria - it had one less forfeit. Long breathed a sigh of relief. “We’re going to see them again, and I’ll wrestle them different next time,” he said. Foard 72, Davie 9Later in the evening, Davie was drubbed by Foard. The Tigers have Please See Testa - Page B6 By Brian PittsEnterprise Record There was the dream start to the season. Then there was the humbling stretch. Now Davie varsity boys basketball coach Josh Pittman has problems to figure out. “It’s like humble pie,” he said after last week’s Central Piedmont Conference losses to East Forsyth and Reagan. “Now I get to see if we’re going to react accordingly and get more emotion in what we’re doing. Because we didn’t look engaged in the last four minutes (against Reagan), and that bothers me more than the outcome of the game. I don’t mind losing; we’re not going to win all our games. But you can’t lose to the point where you’ve got one or two players playing hard. That can’t happen.”EF 67, Davie 57The War Eagles carried a 5-0 record to East Forsyth on Dec. 13, but they hit their first speed bump while playing without Hayden Williams, who was averaging 14 points but was home with the flu. Humbling stretch EF, Reagan cool off War Eagle boys What’s more, they had to play most of the second half without Coleman Lawhon (14.4 ppg), who fouled out in the third quarter. Despite those obstacles, Davie had a chance because Jackson Powers caught fire. Davie had a lackluster start to the game, trailing 9-0 before Ethan Ratledge got his team on the board with a 3-pointer. What followed was a stunning 17-2 run by Davie that spanned the first and second quarters. Powers scored and then Burke Rosenbaum hit a 3. Lawhon got his defender in the air with a pump fake and hit a 3 as he was fouled. He finished the rare four-point play at the foul line. Powers sandwiched two baskets around another Lawhon 3, and Davie went from 19-10 down to 27-21 ahead. “We were playing good bas-ketball,” Pittman said. “People probably thought they were going to basically just walk all over us. That was the talk I had been hear-ing. I knew once we settled down and made some shots, we would be fine.” Davie held a 34-33 lead at halftime behind Lawhon’s 12 points, Powers’ 10 and 51-percent shooting. But a turning point was Lawhon’s third foul late in the second quarter. The third quarter started prom-ising for Davie. When Powers popped a 3, Davie had a 37-33 lead. But Lawhon got his fourth foul when it was 38-37 East, and he went to the bench. Pittman put him back in when East surged in front 43-38, but Lawhon fouled out with Davie behind 45-40 with 1:40 left in the third. Powers, who is starting to blos-som into a beast, kept Davie in it as long as he could. He scored to cut East’s lead to 45-40. He scored to cut East’s lead to 46-42. His old-fashioned, three-point play pulled Davie within 50-46, but that was as close as Davie would get the rest of the way. “I still feel like we had chanc-es,” Pittman said. “We missed two many free throws. Even when Coleman fouled out, we still had Please See Humbling - Page B4 By Brian PittsEnterprise Record The Ellis wrestling team’s 3-3 start is understandable. This is a young team with a new coach, although Charles Compton does have considerable experience in the sport. “I only had the kids for four days before our first match (on Nov. 29),” said Compton, who replaced Andrew Marshall as head coach shortly before the opener. “They have a lot of growing to do. Wrestling is all about muscle memory and drilling the funda-mentals. It’s a good group of kids. They listen and they want to learn, so I can see big things at the end of the year.”The Jaguars’ learning experi-ence began in a tri-meet at West Rowan. They lost to West and Erwin.

But for the second straight game, the War Eagles were up for the challenge in the decisive fourth quarter. Britany Hernandez, Carleigh Croom, Kaylee Lynch and Tasia Tarpley shared the scoring spotlight in the fourth as Davie pulled out its second hard-fought game in a row, including a 49-45 comeback win over West Rowan the week be-fore. The second quarter was all Davie, which scored nine of the 10 points to take a 12-5 lead to the locker room. But the third quarter was dominated by the Demons, who roared to a 19-15 lead. But Davie (2-3 overall) got the last laugh in the Central Piedmont Confer-ence opener. Coach Lamar Russell beamed with pride after Davie outscored Reyn-olds 16-6 in the final seven minutes. By Brian PittsEnterprise Record After roaring out of the gate 5-0, Davie’s JV bas-ketball team slipped dra-matically last week. Losses to East Forsyth and Rea-gan overshadowed Adam Brown’s impressive growth since last year. It’s not often you see a JV team score 70 points in de-feat, but that’s exactly what happened to Davie at East Forsyth on Dec. 13. The War Eagles had won 15 straight when hitting that number, but a 74-70 decision in Kernersville was Davie’s first loss when scoring 70 in eight seasons. The last such setback was 83-77 to Mt. Tabor in 2014-15. Continued From Page B1Jaguars tasted success, win-ning big over Thomasville (84-18) and North Carolina Leadership Academy (79-18). At that point, Elijah Chaffin was red hot, pin-ning all four opponents at 170. Jack Bost was 3-1 at 98, the only loss coming in a match in which he held a lead, and Ayden Chilton was 3-1 at 138. “Elijah trains more than just five days a week,” Compton said. “He has double practice on Mondays and Wednesdays, and then he wrestles on Sundays. I told the kids: ‘What we do here for two hours is not go-ing to make you a champion. You have to do stuff on your own, go to these clubs.”A week after the first wins, Ellis torched NCLA again, this time in Kern-ersville. George Crowley, Caleb Speer, Austin Eggers, Bost, Tony Velasco, Carter Hoots, Finnly Sink and Chaffin had the wins as the Jaguars rolled up a 66-17 blowout. ND 75, Ellis 27After losing two in a row, North Davie let off some steam at Ellis on Dec. 14. “Overall I thought we wrestled well,” North coach Jamey Holt said. “It was probably our best match so ACROSS 1.

Parker December 26, 2022 The (K) Clues Are for Kids Important thing for fluid communication? 21-Across) INK Previous riddle answer: JV boys stumble against Reagan, East Forsyth The War Eagles got off to a slow start, but Brown, Wade Bomar and Cameron Owens led a 20-point sec-ond that vaulted Davie to a 28-26 halftime lead. “East hadn’t been tested and they came out thinking they were going to blow us out,” coach Tracey Arnold said. “But we weathered the storm and then we came storming back. They knew they were in for a dogfight after that.”Brown and Elliott Er-landsson teamed up for 14 points in the third, allowing Davie to take 46-43 lead into the fourth. But the War Eagles spit the bit in the fourth. They got points from six different players (Brown, Owens, Ethan Driver, Thomas Essic, Erlandsson and Bomar) in the final quarter, but they gave up 31 to an East team that improved to 4-0 after winning its first three games by 26, 40 and 19. “We missed some free throws and missed some 2-on-1 fast breaks,” Arnold said. “And they made a couple of big shots late. Every time we made a run, they made some big shots. We had some self-inflicted wounds (9 of 17 foul shoot-ing coupled with costly turnovers).”On top of that, Driver, Davie’s top rebounder on the day, fouled out with less than three minutes to go. “And that hurt,” he said. “I’d like to have had him down the stretch.”Brown exhibited his growth with 23 points, eight rebounds, three assists and three 3-pointers. He matched his season high in points. Owens had 16 points and five assists. Erlandsson had 13 points and six re-bounds. “Adam had a real nice game,” he said. “Elliott shot it well in the second half. He really came on in the second half (with 10 points).”Bomar had nine points, Isaac Swisher five, Driver two and Essic two. Driver also had nine boards. In the first half, Arnold got ex-actly what he needed from Bomar, who missed the first three games with a sickness. “Wade’s just now rounding himself back into shape,” he said. “He played big minutes and kind of sta-bilized us because we had a bad start. Their pressure and crowd had us rattled. Wade came in and settled every-thing down. He plays bigger than what he is. He’s not the quickest or the fastest, but he’s a leader and they follow him. He’s a natural leader and a natural ballplayer. His basketball IQ is off the charts.”Reagan 64, Davie 52After getting doubled up in the first quarter (24-12 deficit) against visiting Reagan on Dec. 16, the War Eagles recovered and put up a good fight. They rallied within two, only to fade in the final minutes. The good news: Brown put his improvement on display again. Last year he never scored more than 13 in a game and had single digits in eight of his nine games while playing for an 11-0 freshman team. This year he’s the No. 1 scorer with a 14.1 average. Against Reagan (5-1 overall), he scored 15 while hitting 5 of 7 field goals, including two 3s. He went 3 for 3 from the line, grabbed five rebounds, handed out four assists and made two steals. Driver had 9 points and 6 rebounds. The other scorers for Davie (5-2, 1-2 CPC): Erlandsson 7, Swisher 4, Bomar 4, Owens 4, David Patton 4, George Sakai 3 and Logan Vandeweerd 2. Davie JV girls beat Reynolds, but lose two Leading the way was Hernandez, a freshman who scored a team-high 12 points. She has produced eight or more in every game. “Britany had another big game,” Russell said. “She hit another big shot (like she did against West Rowan) to put us up by three in the closing minutes. She has been stepping up to the moment. I tell them: ‘If you feel confident, take the shot.’ And she has stepped up twice.”Give credit to Croom (seven points) and Lynch (six points, 15 rebounds). “Carleigh didn’t have the biggest (scoring) game tonight, but as far as leading and being a general, she did her job,” he said. “Without (Lynch’s) rebounds, we don’t get second-chance opportunities. In the first two games when we didn’t have KK, the rebounding wasn’t there and we didn’t get extra possessions. I said it last year and I’ll say it again, KK cleans the boards better than any girl I’ve seen in the post.”Tarpley had six points and America Stockton had five rebounds.EF 31, Davie 25After winning two games by a total of 10 points, the War Eagles suffered a pair of coulda/shoulda defeats. The first came at East Forsyth (2-2) on Dec. 13. It was anybody’s game going into the fourth quarter, with Davie leading 23-22. But it only managed two points in the final period and lost by six. Croom had nine points, Tarpley eight, Madison Lewis four, Hernandez two and Lynch two. Lynch col-lected 15 boards and re-jected two shots. Stockton grabbed six rebounds. Reagan 32, Davie 31A home loss to Reagan on Dec. 16 was another tooth-and-nail battle that ended in heartbreak for Davie. Tarpley hit a 3-pointer in a first quarter that ended 6-6. Reagan held small leads at halftime (14-11) and after the third (26-25). Tarpley’s six points and Lewis’ three kept Davie in contention in the third. Why did the War Eagles fall short? They suffered through a brutal day at the free-throw line, missing 19 foul shots. Go just 11 of 28 from the line - instead of 9 of 28 - and it’s a different outcome. “That’s a killer,” Rus-sell said of the 32-percent shooting from the charity stripe. “We had open shot after open shot. We got to the free-throw line; we did everything right. But we did not hit the free throws.”The biggest reason Davie (2-5, 1-2 CPC) was in posi-tion to win was Tarpley, who hit three 3s and scored 13, or eight above her average. Croom had eight. Lewis had five points, five rebounds and two blocks. Lynch had three points and 15 boards - her third straight game with 15 rebounds. Hernandez and Aubrey Speckin had one point each. “My girls played a great game,” Russell said. “I think they played as hard as they can play. Just a few free throws made, we win the ballgame. I said we were going to make some noise in conference. We’ve still got a chance.” ND ... far in neutral position. I saw things we’ve been working on in practice get used. It was a good way to end be-fore Christmas break. I told the guys they’re going to be better in January, but we will too. We just need to embrace the grind and keep working hard, keep building.”The Wildcats (4-2) over-powered Ellis (3-3) by rack-ing up 11 pins from Jeremi-ah Hernandez (76), Wesley Stanley (90), Stephen Ja-cobs (113), Easton Stanley (120), Hank Blankenship (126), Isaac O’Toole (138), Landon Carpenter (145), Javon Carter (152), John Evans (195), DJ McCaskill (220) and Walker Matthews (250). “Jeremiah did his thing,” Holt said. “Once we learn some mat wrestling, the sky’s the limit for him. Wes-ley (a new starter at 90) was a nice surprise. He was aggressive off the whistle. Stephen had a nice headlock for pin. Another solid match (by E. Stanley). He just keeps putting solid matches together. He wants to get better every day in practice. Hank got caught early but fought back and wrestled hard after that. Workman-like efforts (by Carpenter and Carter). Landon fought through being under the weather, and Javon was looking to score at every opportunity. John, DJ and Walker took care of busi-ness.”North captured 13 of 18 weight classes, including a decision victory at 132 by Brayden Jenkins. Jaden Dillard took a forfeit at 182. “Brayden and Carter Hoots had a fun scrap at 132,” Holt said. “Both guys wrestled hard. Brayden had two crucial takedowns. He was very solid on his mat returns as well - never slop-py or rushed to take Hoots back to the mat.”Ellis’ winners were Daniel Hennessey (pin at 106), Sink (pin at 160) and Bost (major decision at 98). Eggers (83) and Chaffin (170) received forfeits. Notes: Compton was a Davie assistant the past three years. He’s retired from the military. “I’ve been coaching for 14 years and I’ve got 30 years in the sport,” he said. ... North has a six-match winning streak against Ellis. ... Holt mentioned four prelim guys. “Nice matches from Kol-by Long and Taylor Shen-berger,” he said. “Sawyer Hall and Luke White are learning and getting better every day.” ...

WIldlife Re-sources Commission an-nounced that two more deer have tested positive for chronic wasting disease, bringing to five the total number of whitetails con-firmed with the always-fa-tal neurological disease.The commission said that two deer in Surry County, killed this season by hunters, have tested pos-itive for CWD. The first was a buck killed last De-cember in northern Yadkin County. A doe, taken with a depredation permit this past summer close to the site of the first CWD-positive deer, also tested positive, along with a buck taken during archery season in southern Surry County.The two most-recent cases came from the Sec-ondary Surveillance Area, which includes all of Sur-ry, Yadkin, Davie and For-syth counties and portions of Wilkes, Alleghany and Iredell counties outside of the Primary Surveillance Area – a circle around the first kill site with a radius of approximately 5 miles.Commission officials said that hunters may con-tinue to drop off deer heads for sampling in the SSA, even though mandatory sampling ran out on Nov. 27. Hunters in the PSA are required to submit kills for sampling through the end of the season. Hunters in the SSA were required to submit kills for sampling during the 2-week black-powder season and the first two weeks of gun season. A list of places to drop off samples is available at www.ncwildlife.org. “Testing for CWD re-mains our No. 1 priority this deer season,” said Brad Howard, chief of the Com-mission's Wildlife Manage-ment Division. “It’s imper-ative that we continue to send samples to the lab so we can determine where in our state the disease is de-tected.”Duck season returnsNorth Carolina duck hunters returned to their blinds for the third segment of the state’s three-part sea-son last Saturday.Hunters in the coastal and inland zones will have through Jan. 31, 2023, to fill their daily bag limits around the Tarheel State. The first and second seg-ments of the season were in late October and mid- through late November.Hunters can take six ducks per day, with a few species restrictions: no more than 3 wood ducks, 2 mallards (1 hen), 2 red-heads, 2 canvasbacks, 2 black ducks, 1 pintail, 1 mottled duck and 1 fulvous whistling duck. Before Jan. 9, the bag limit on scaup (bluebills) is 1 per day; af-ter Jan. 9 it is 2 per day.Eight NC bass prosEight pro bass fisher-men from North Carolina will be among the 104-man fields for the BASS Elite Series in 2023, including two past Bassmaster Clas-sic champions.

Queen of Catawba, Brandon Card of Salisbury, Jake Whitaker of Fairview and David Wil-liams of Newton.Bear harvest looks goodIf harvest reports are any indication, bear hunters are having a good season in North Carolina.Through Dec. 12, hunt-ers had reported taking 3,127 bears, well above the pace of harvest the past two seasons – including the record 2020 season, when they tagged 3667 bruins. The 2021 harvest was 3607.The great majority of the harvest has been, like most years, from coastal coun-ties, with Hyde (211), Tyr-rell (163), Beaufort (155) and Jones (124) leading the way. The top mountain counties have been Hay-wood (139), McDowell (112) Buncombe (104 and Madison (104).Bear seasons in many areas have closed, but they remain open in a majority of the state. The N.C.

In that stretch, we missed seven or eight free throws. That caught up with us.”At one point, Powers con-verted nine of 13 shots. He finished with 23 points, 10 rebounds and two blocked shots. He accounted for 13 of Davie’s 23 second-half points. “He played a lot on the block,” Pittman said of the 6-6 sophomore. “We kind of played off of him on the block because of the way East was switching every-thing. So it was running motion until we could get it to the block.”Lawhon had 12 points. Braddock Coleman had sev-en points and five rebounds. Rosenbaum had six points and four assists. Ratledge and Ian Koontz had five and four points, respective-ly. Gavin Reese had three assists and three rebounds. But the defending CPC champion weathered Da-vie’s 17-2 storm and ended Pittman’s 23-game winning streak in the regular sea-son, including 18 in a row last year as coach at Win-ston-Salem Prep. “Overall, it was a great game, and we definitely had a chance to take that game,” he said. “All you want to do on the road is put yourself in position to win.”Reagan 83, Davie 65In front of another elec-tric atmosphere in Davie’s gym on Dec. 16, Powers always knew when to step up, the big man scoring 47 points in two games. Rat-ledge did not miss a shot on the way to 12 points. That was good stuff. The downside: Those performances were spoiled by a tough, physical Reagan team that is senior-heavy. Caleb Ellison, a 6-1 senior guard, was lethal with 24 points and 10-for-10 shoot-ing from the foul line. Coo-per Jackson, a 6-6 junior, was a dunking machine in the fourth quarter. He scored 19 of his 21 in the second half, threw down seven dunks and Reagan disap-pointed most of the fans. “That’s huge,” Pittman said when asked about Rea-gan’s seven seniors. “They have players who have played varsity for three or four years. They know what they’re doing. They’ve got grit about them. They’re smart. They know how to take their time and play for each other. And they excel in the helter-skelter game. When we were able to sit down and play our 2-3 (zone), we turned them over a little bit and made them force some shots - even though they made some tough ones - and I felt like we were in the game.”Davie’s only lead of the game was 4-2, but Reagan’s biggest lead in the first half was only six. Powers and Ratledge combined for 21 first-half points on 9-of-12 shooting. (The rest of the War Eagles shot 2-14.) That duo had Davie within strik-ing distance at 37-31. Koontz scored four quick points in the third to chop a 40-31 deficit to 40-35, but that’s when Reagan began to pull away, a 15-4 run by the Raiders creating a 55-39 spread. “We really couldn’t run our offense because we weren’t setting screens due to them being physical,” Pittman said. “They were throwing little elbows, little shoulders, little cheap shots here and there. That’s what you call a rivalry, and that’s what you do in a rivalry game. And we have to step up and react - and we just didn’t.”Every time Davie mount-ed a rally, Reagan would answer the bell. A Ratledge stickback cut the deficit to 57-47, but Reagan scored the next four points. Law-hon hit two free throws to make it 61-51, but Reagan answered with four straight points. Williams and Powers made 3s to pull Davie within 69-59, but Reagan respond-ed with the next four points. Then Davie wilted in the last four minutes. “We were in the game, but then it looked like we were sapped of energy,” Pittman said. Powers continued his stellar play with 24 points, six rebounds, two blocks and two assists. His 9-for-16 shooting raised his team-high average to 17.5 points. Ratledge’s performance stood out as he scored 12 on 5-5 shooting. “I think Jackson is going to have a big year all the way around,” Pittman said. “He’s starting to understand what he can do. He’s starting to feel comfortable, especially on the block. He’s starting inside/out and that’s going to be huge for us for the next two years.”Lawhon hit 8 of 9 free throws to score 10. Williams also had 10. Koontz and Coleman had four each and Reese had one. Notes: East, which lost 78-75 to Reagan, improved to 5-2 overall and 1-1 in the CPC. ... Reagan has won four straight after an 0-3 start. The Raiders are 3-0 in the CPC. ... Before the Rea-gan game, Davie (5-2, 1-2) was holding opponents to 52 points per game. ...

Enter Johnson. In the opening minutes, the senior was electric putting the ball in the hoop. On the game’s first pos-session, Johnson cut toward the basket and Rankin fed her. The result was an and-one and a three-point play. That was a sign of things to come. Johnson received a pass on the left wing. She got a screen from Colamarino, dribbled to the top of the key and buried a 3-pointer. After Reagan rallied from 8-2 down to 8-8, Aderhold threw a skip pass to the left wing to Johnson. Colama-rino set another screen and Johnson nailed the triple. Later in the first quarter, Colamarino rebounded her own miss and hit Johnson at the top of the key. The 3 swished as Davie took a 14-8 lead. Johnson had 12 of the 14 while hitting 4 of 5 shots, including all three of her long-range attempts. In the second quarter, Johnson drove, banked it home as she was fouled and hit the free throw to give Davie a 22-10 lead. Davie built a 31-20 half-time lead by hitting 5 of 8 3s. Aderhold and Oakes had the other two triples. In the third quarter, John-son banged her fourth 3 of the night even though she was knocked down by an aggressive box-out. That gave Davie its largest lead of the game, 43-25. Johnson, who came in averaging 8.7 points, fin-ished with a Davie season high of 21. She hit 7 of 13 field goals and 4 of 6 3s. It was the third time she’s hit the 21 mark in her varsity career. It was the most 3s by a War Eagle in 40 games, dating to Oakes’ four in a 53-47 home win over South Iredell in January of 2021. “Malayka’s been lead-ing us in scoring the past two games, but Somer had a hot night,” Adams said. “We have a first period bas-ketball conditioning class and they’re required to get shots up every single day in an hour-and-a-half class. Somer’s the type of player that once she makes one, her confidence goes up. When she made that first one, she was locked in and ready.”Colamarino’s defense on Reagan senior Emma Pend-leton helped carry Davie to the finish line. Pendleton finished with 13 points, but she could not get going in the paint against the Davie junior. Pendleton hit 4 of 9 field goals and 5 of 6 free throws. She only managed two FGs when guarded by Colamarino. “Lauren stepped up and guarded the biggest player on the court for the second straight game,” Adams said. “Even though Lauren is not scoring (a lot), defensively she’s keeping their big girls (contained), which is some-thing we haven’t had in the past because we haven’t had a (true) post. I think (Pendleton) had 18 points on us last year. She had 13 tonight, but if we didn’t have Lauren, it could have been a whole different ballgame. I told my guards to press up and let Lauren hold her own and don’t help.”Although Adams is ex-cited for where her team can go from here, it was a mostly uneventful second half. The War Eagles’ lead never dipped below 10, but Adams felt the intensity was not the same as the first half. “We’ve got to pull away,” she said. “That’s another step in the program. We’re getting some wins, but now we’ve got to pull away from teams and not let them hang around. We got complacent.”Gentry had nine points and four steals. Aderhold had seven points. Rankin had five points and four rebounds. Colamarino had four points, seven rebounds and two assists. Oakes had three points, while Dirks and Spaugh had two each. Notes: Davie lost by 12, but it did close the gap against East Forsyth, which won last year’s meetings by 30 and 50. ... Davie snapped a six-game losing streak against Reagan, which beat Davie by 13 and 39 last year. ... Reagan fell to 5-4, 1-2. Davie improved to 3-5, 1-2. Fire ...

Here’s seven of their victories this year: 76-3, 84-0, 76-3, 78-0, 68-9, 61-15, 69-12. Davie dropped 12 of 14 weight classes, the excep-tions being Hire’s pin at 132 and Testa’s 6-4 decision at 182. It was Testa’s first match back from sickness. “We’re babies and Foard is loaded,” Long said. “They’re probably one of the best teams in the state. I talked to Newton-Con-over’s coach and he said the same thing. He said: ‘Perry, they’re unreal.’ They will win (the 3-A champi-onship).”Davie 63, Hopewell 3Davie took a sledgeham-mer to two opponents at Hopewell on Dec. 14. The War Eagles opened with a 60-point win over the host school. Pins came from Hire, Pelote, Alexander, Testa and Godbey. Dylan Miller won a decision at 160. The Titans forfeited to Davis, Elliott Gould, Wood, Strickland and Hunter. Davie 57, Chambers 24 Then the War Eagles took down Chambers with no trouble.

We extend sympathy to the family of Mildred Bur-dette Benfield, who died at home early Sunday morn-ing of last week after a few years of declining health. The oldest of three chil-dren, she was born in Iredell County in 1931 to the late E. P. and Nettie Burdette of Statesville. Mildred attended States-ville High School, where she met H. E. "Buck" Benfield. They were married in May 1947 and lived in Statesville and later Winston-Salem for the births of their children from 1948-1953.About 1959 the couple bought and moved to a farm on Ridge Road at US 64. When our community saw the need for a fire depart-ment, they and another cou-ple donated adjoining land. Mildred was an active mem-ber of the fire department auxiliary and supported suppers and other fundrais-er events. Kind and caring, she was a caregiver for her father and husband as their health declined before their deaths in 2003 and 2016, and was a babysitter for area working parents.Longtime members of Welcome Baptist Church in Statesville, the couple joined their children in wor-ship at Calvary Baptist in 2015. A service celebrating Churches planning special services this Christmas season her life was held at Calvary Baptist Sunday afternoon.The Benfield family has supported our community news through the years and has shared treasured photos for our specials. Their sup-port has always been greatly appreciated. Margaret Ann Shew and Alice Waugh remain in re-hab at Davie Nursing and Rehabilitation.Join us in prayer for the Lord's divine healing upon Margaret Ann, Alice, and other residents who are hav-ing health problems. Pray for the Lord's comfort and support upon the families of Clark and Mildred as they miss their loved ones. Here's wishing everyone a Merry Christmas filled with the many Blessings of the Holy Birth of Jesus Christ.S-C ... ue for Bryan Swain, Jean Reavis, Johnny Naylor, Pat Moore, Hazel Smoot, Tim Keller, Junior Dunn, Betty Dameron, Tammy Keller, Naomi Wooten, Charles England, Lincoln Dys-on, Chester Reeves, Ha-zel Frye, Yvonne Ijames, Bonnie Gunter, Ed Liven-good, Milton Tutterow, Nancy Peacock, Geraldine Lambert, Betty Beck, Sue Gobble, Helen Bulla, Paul Beck, Juanita Keaton, Betty Godbey, Ted Adams, Emily Brown, Marsha Tutterow, Eddie Porter, Janie Wil-liams, Larry Richie, Clyde Jordan, and Suzonne Strat-ton.
