By Mike BarnhardtEnterprise Record COOLEEMEE - Come Jan. 1, there will be no municipal police departments in Davie County.Town board members here last week voted 3-0 to disband the police department and en-ter into a 2.5 year contract with the Davie County Sheriff’s De-partment for police coverage.“This was a tough decision to make, but it’s the best option we have with the chief leav-ing at the end of the month,” said Chris Almond, the town board’s public safety commis-sioner.Currently, the part-time po-lice chief and three part-time officers provide the town with some 60 hours of coverage in a two-week period. The town had budgeted $175,000 for the police department in the fiscal year that started in July.Cooleemee will pay the sheriff’s office $100,000 per year for a minimum of 4,800 yearly hours of coverage, said Town Clerk Aaron Thies.“Going with the sheriff’s department, the town will be receiving more coverage on a weekly basis,” Thies said. “With the ongoing decrease in revenue the town receives, the town doesn’t have the funds to bring the department back to where it needs to provide safe-ty for the residents of Coolee-mee.”Bermuda Run, which has never had it’s own police de-partment, and Mocksville, which disbanded its police force a couple of years ago, also contract with the sher-iff for additional coverage in those municipalities. By KC SmithCooleemee Correspondent Judy Webb, the host of the annual Senior Luncheon here, was tickled to see everyone back for good food and entertainment from Santa. This year would have been the 20th year Webb has hosted the luncheon, but with COVID restrictions, two years were lost. Seeing everyone gathered together, the sheriff's department there again serving the guests, and in the background volun-teers helping it all come together was worth the wait, she said. Barbecue, ham, slaw, pota-to salad, baked beans plus an assortment of desserts were to be had by all. Town closing police dept.

Senior luncheon still a hit Please See Luncheon - Page 8 By Jeanna Baxter WhiteWord Master Media Group Despite rising interest rates and elevated building costs, the demand for industrial sites in Davie County remains high, and Carl Carney has found a niche creating spec buildings for companies seeking a small-er space. As the president and CEO of Davie Construction for the past 29 years, Carney under-stands how difficult it can be for smaller or start-up compa-nies to find an available space. That’s why 12 years ago, he tackled a new challenge, creat-ing spec buildings to help new companies picture themselves doing business in Davie Coun- ty. His investment in the 40-acre BCM Industrial Park and its spec buildings is his way of helping other business owners see the area’s potential. “We just completed our third flex-space building in Davie and are excited to be able to give more small businesses the opportunity to thrive in our wonderful county,” said Car- ney.The 10,500 square-foot fa-cility at 202 Dalton Road is available for lease. It features 20-foot walls and a loading dock with a 14-ft roll-up door. Office space and bathrooms can be added. Carney is also willing to subdivide. He became involved in the property, located on US 64, three miles east of downtown Mocksville, 20 years ago. “Twenty acres is undevel-oped, six acres are highway business, and 14 acres are zoned for L2 light industry. We wanted to create opportunities for companies that need small-er buildings, specifically those Ready for business Smaller companies have available space in Davie Please See Business - Page 4 2 ‑ DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Dec. 29, 2022Editorial Page In The Mail ...

A special thank you to all who work to make this event possible. Hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas sea-son.Ronnie Robertson, PIOAdvance Fire Department To the editor:This will be a short response to the letter titled "Biden Continues to Have Trouble with the Truth."I believe that MAGA followers - also known as the Re-publican Party - should get the hypocrite of the year award. Their pious previous leader, and all his followers are in no particular order liars, racists, anti-LGBTQ, anti-women's rights and white supremacists. I hope the writer watched the Jan. 6 committee proceedings on Dec. 19 and rereads the Constitutional oath taken by the President and all elect-ed members of Congress. Democracy is a right not a gift. Too bad the GOP does not understand or believe that.Don Witte, Advance There’s an unfortunate trend continuing in North Carolina and across the nation that must be stopped: the bad behavior of coach-es, parents and fans at high school athletic events.\We’ve all seen it: the yelling, harassing, berating, disrespecting and even physically assaulting high school referees, umpires and other officials during and after games. And oftentimes, the harassment continues on social media. Perhaps you’ve witnessed it firsthand or even been one of those offenders yourself.Not only is this behavior unacceptable and embarrass-ing, but it’s also having serious consequences on the future of high school sports.That’s because another unfortunate trend is sweeping the nation: a critical shortage of high school officials in every state. The No. 1 reason? You guessed it: Coaches, parents and fans mistreating officials.National surveys of officials report alarming statistics:• 55% of officials say verbal abuse from coaches, parents and fans is the #1 reason they quit.• 59% don’t feel respected.• 57% think sportsmanship is getting worse.• 84% feel officials are treated unfairly by spectators.• 46% have felt unsafe or feared for their safety due to spectator, coach, administrator or player behavior.Officials are quitting faster than new ones are signing up. It’s a major area of concern for states like North Carolina just to cover games. We’re already seeing middle school and JV games being cancelled and, in some cases, varsity Guest opinionsEnough is enough Bad behavior by coaches, parents and fans must stop Dr. Karissa Niehoff Que Tucker games too. All because there aren’t enough officials.Unfortunately, bad behavior at high school athletic events has be-come normalized. It is almost ex-pected that coaches, parents and fans will disrespect the individuals serving as officials.This culture of bad behavior and the negative perception of officials must change now. Everyone in-volved in high school sports—par-ents, coaches, administrators, fans, the media—must turn their focus to the student-athletes playing the games and away from the individuals officiating the con-tests.The bottom line: With no high school officials, there can be no high school sports.That’s why the NFHS is partnering with state high school associations across the country to launch the na-tionwide #BenchBadBehavior campaign. We’ll use the power of social media along with other tools to help edu-cate everyone about the importance of good behavior at high school athletic events.You can help by being a positive role model at your high school’s athletic events. And if you think you have what it takes to be a licensed official, sign up today at High-SchoolOfficials.com and help fill an urgent need in North Carolina. Dr. Karissa Niehoff is the Chief Executive Officer of the National Federation of State High School Associa-tions (NFHS); and Que Tucker is the Commissioner of the North Carolina High School Athletic Assocation By Paris GoodnightEditor, The Salisbury Post December may not ordinarily be the time when you think about climbing trees, and if you’re my age you probably shouldn’t be thinking about doing such things anyway. But as I look out across the landscape I see that almost all the leaves are down now except for a few oak stragglers that always seem to be the last to let go around my neighbor-hood. That allows open viewing of blue skies on nice days and plenty of stars to see on crisp, clear nights.If you’re like me, I bet you wish you could still climb trees like you did when you were a kid. Nothing was as much fun as getting up on a high limb and looking out over the great wide open and seeing things from a much dif-ferent perspective than being down so low (as little kids often feel they are since they have to always look up to the adults). You just can’t see all the sights that surely the bigger kids or older folks are getting to enjoy, especially if you’re stuck in a huge crowd of people.But if you’re high up in a tree, you have no such limita-tions.Then, when you get older, other interests take over and you don’t get to enjoy the thrill of climbing up among the branches any more.I had a hand on a limb above me on one of the last times I tried such an endeavor, but the limb I was standing on broke off and I spent a moment in midair wondering if I was going to land on the deck below and live to tell about it or on the other side and much farther down to the ground, where my chances of getting up easily were not good.Luckily I did land mostly on my back on the deck boards, and though it wasn’t easy getting my breath back or my bearings right away, I did slowly realize that nothing was broken and I was going to be OK.When I got my wits about me, I decided then and there that I would not be climbing trees any more. I’ve pretty much stuck to that resolution but I did find myself up in a smaller apple tree in the backyard not too long ago, just checking out which branches will need to be trimmed later in the winter or in early spring when I get around to that project. It was good fun being back up in the air but it’s not as easy getting up there as it used to be. There’s a little more weight to hoist these days and the arms aren’t quite as strong as they should be after all the years of sitting in front of a computer instead of out chopping wood or hoist-ing hay bales.I don’t really know why I continue to work with that tree anyway since it’s never produced fruit, though I’ve tried planting a crabapple tree to cross pollinate it and even followed the old wives’ tale of “whomping” it to get the apples to grow.I’ll give it a few more years, but otherwise it may end up like the smaller oak tree that I thought was a pome-granate tree we had planted out front until later realizing it wasn’t. I broke out the ax and did a little wood chopping on that one, but I’m sure I’d have to do a lot more of that to get back into any real peak tree-climbing shape. And that would only give the neighbors more reason to question my sanity if they saw me up there gazing out from some tall branch just before it snapped. Climbing trees not for us old folks Tell us what you think As 2022 comes to a close, it’s common for newspapers to list the top news stories of the year.And since the editorial board here at the Enterprise Re-cord pretty much consists of yours truly, I’ll mention a few that caught my attention while perusing through the 51 copies of the Enterprise Record that had already been printed. But I didn’t leave out this week, as the Cooleemee Police Department is closing and the town is contracting with the sheriff’s office for police coverage. That’s pretty big news for folks in that area.What I did notice was that Davie County is full of kind, generous people - of all ages. There was story after story that outlined this benevolence, and it makes one proud.Another sense of pride comes with the baseball play-ers we continue to produce. Major League All Star Whit Merrifield was traded from Kansas City to Toronto; pitcher Jeremy Walker was traded from San Francisco to Tampa Bay. And Carson Whisenhunt signed a big contract to pitch for the San Francisco Giants. Wow. Three guys from Davie playing in the Major Leagues at the same time. And to top that off, a young Davie High star, Coy James, lead Team USA to the U15 World Baseball Cup title in Mexico, earn-ing the MVP award for the tournament.Tragedies too often make these lists, and we’re no dif-ferent. I won’t dwell on details, but too many young lives have been lost due to mental illness, drug habits and ques-tionable lifestyles. We can do better. Do something to help someone else today, someone who you likely would have nothing to do with otherwise. It’s a start.These tragedies are sometimes nothing more than ac-cidents, such as the death of Trent Millslagle, the Tangle-wood Pizza employee who had just left work before his car crashed in front of the restaurant, taking his life. Restau-rant employees mourned the life of their friend, but they took it a step further. Look on the back of their shirts today and you’ll likely see the slogan, “Don’t Start None, Won’t Be None.” It was Trent’s way of helping to keep a happy workplace, and it’s pretty darned good advice for us all.Of course, government and our interactions with gov-ernment make the list, too. You could say that 2022 was quite tumultuous for our county commissioners, who struggled with EMS service in Advance, rezonings, EMS leadership, and even the county manager’s job. We trust that Brian Barnett, who has been county manager for a half of a year now without major incident, can keep up the good work. And Joseph Ashburn deserves the job as EMS director. He’s a good guy with good intentions who has put his life’s work into the agency.Lee Rollins also stepped down as Bermuda Run town manager, and Andrew Meadwell, the county’s planning director, became the town manager. Other planners soon followed Meadwell’s exit.Veterans Day just wasn’t the same without a ceremony in front of the monument in Downtown Mocksville. Lynne Hicks, the organizer of this event for years, was on her deathbed and unable to do the chore. A local attorney and a friend to veterans and scouts everywhere, she later died.Habitat for Humanity reorganized and plans to open one of the largest ReStores in the country in Bermuda Run, not long after purchasing property in Mocksville.Bermuda Run board members went with the majority of the residents in Kinderton and voted against a rezoning that would have allowed more apartments per acre. It’s an old story that all of our boards will continue to hear, “Not in my back yard.” I don’t care where you live, if you don’t own the property you enjoy, it could change in a flash. And it will for many Davie residents in the coming years.Dr. Francis Slate turned 100 years old. And like he did as a local surgeon and political leader, he did it with class.Notable deaths included Julius Suiter, long-time educa-tor who helped Davie through desegregation of its schools and guided many young people as a teacher, coach and principal.Publishers Clearing House came to Davie County, awarding $1 million to the most humble, most deserving couple possible. It was a heartwarming story. We’ll leave their names out just in case more relatives they didn’t know they had continue to surface.Covid? The year started with arguments over restric-tions, and ended with pretty much no restrictions. It didn’t seem to change the number of cases. Let’s call it old news.But the most important news of 2022 - Chik-fil-A an-nounced plans to build a restaurant in Bermuda Run. Could Mocksville be far behind?Pass the waffle fries, please.- Mike Barnhardt 2022 remembered DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Dec. 29, 2022 - 3 The Literary Corner: Renegade Writers Guild Try some acts of kindness in 2023, it can bring joy to yourself and others, writes Ellen Bishop for the Renegade Writers.

BarnetteWhen I was a little girl, Christmas was the most excit-ing day of the year, at least for a few minutes as I opened my gifts from Santa. But soon we left the gifts at home and headed across the street to the Smith grandparents for Christmas lunch.Mother was one of seven children, so the house was al-ways full with all of the relatives, and there was a great abundance of food that had been prepared by the ladies. Being a very shy person, I never enjoyed large gatherings, and I have never been too interested in food. The men ate at the dining room table, and the ladies ate after the men had finished. The kids always ate at card tables located round the house.After lunch and the cleanup, we all gathered in the living room around the Christmas tree and exchanged gifts. Be-cause it was a large family, we all drew names so each per-son would only have to purchase one gift. Papa and Mama always got gifts from everybody though, as befitted them as the heads of the family.The same procedure was followed the evening before at the Hartley Christmas gathering. That family was much smaller than the other one, and I was the only girl cous-in, so had nobody to hang out with. Mama Hartley always wanted us to sing “Silent Night,” and I had to play her pump organ for that.The children grew up, got married, moved away and had their own children, so through the years the gatherings got smaller. Then the grandparents, parents, aunts, and uncles passed away. This year at my home it will just be my im-mediate family, one less since John left us in October. We will exchange gifts and order pizza.Yet in my mind’s eye, rather like John-Boy Walton, I see all of my loved ones gathered around the tables and the trees. They are laughing and talking like old friends, the ladies all in aprons to keep their dresses from getting dirty. I will remember Edna’s potato salad, Laura’s cookies, Hel-en’s roast beef, and those little dinner rolls that were pop- ular in those days. I will cherish those visions for as long as I live!! GenerosityBy E. BishopChristmas is my favorite time of year with the sweets, exchanging of presents, family gatherings, but mostly for the hope for peace, love, joy and the generosity shown in the greatest Christmas story ever told. The act of giv-ing points to the One who gave everything for us. We all should be good stewards of what we have been given and showing generosity to others in one form or another is a great expression of stewardship. John Wesley writes…“Do all the good you can, By all the means you can,In all the ways you can,In all the places you can,At all the times you can,To all the people you can,As long as ever you can.”Giving good things to others freely, without expecting anything in return, has been proven to be good for our health. There is a feel good chemical released that helps our mood and creates a sense of connection with others. Generous people are generally happier people. As the old saying goes, it is better to give than to receive. And, you don’t have to be rich. There are many ways of giving with-out spending.Donate extra belongings, volunteer your time, give blood, share a meal with someone in need, babysit for free, write a letter to someone who lives alone, offer a helping hand, be there to listen, smile and compliment others. Use your time, talent and compassion and give from the heart.Acts of kindness and caring is what I witnessed recently in visiting with residents at Willow Pond, a senior living apartment community in Mocksville, during one of their weekly activities. Two tables were loaded with donated brownies, cakes and other baked goodies for their “cake walk”. Later in the week, a Christmas crafting party took place in their beautifully decorated community room. The craft material to make a Christmas ornament was gener-ously donated by Shari Keller and her husband, owners of the Artist Market on Main. Shari, a retired nurse and advocate for elders, knows the importance of giving back to the community. The residents and volunteers were truly appreciative.It will be after the Christmas holiday when you read this and time to make New Year’s resolutions. Please consider being generous with whatever you have to offer instead of focusing on yourself as much. This reminds me of the 1970 Glen Campbell song “Try a Little Kindness” “Lend a helping hand instead of doubt,And the kindness that you show every dayWill help someone along their way.” By Betty Etchison WestFor the Enterprise When this old lady was a skinny, long-legged, little girl with pigtails down to her waist, she was blessed to have a dear old aunt who lived in the cottage just down the path and across the road. That lady’s name was Susan Furches Etchison Eaton. I spent many hours with that lady, who was my grandfather, John W. Etchison’s sister. I was blessed to have Aunt Susan because she never seemed to be busy with the housework that other Cana women seemed to have. Of course, Aunt Susan’s house would have proba-bly been considered a mess by most people, but to me it was a wonderful place to spend the dayAunt Susan was a self-educated lady who went to school for a few years and had spent the rest of her life educating herself. She loved words and she loved to read. She is the only person I ever knew who spent time read-ing Webster’s Dictionary, which she kept under her day-bed. Aunt Susan de-cided early on that I should learn one new word from Webster’s every day. I did exactly what Aunt Susan wanted me to do—it never crossed my mind that I could disagree with Aunt Susan in any way. There-fore, I learned a new word from Webster’s each time I went to Aunt Susan’s house. Aunt Susan under-lined each word learned. That dictionary is still on the shelf at the house where Aunt Susan lived, which is now the home of my daughter, Susan, and her family. Aunt Susan loved to read so much that she once got her bed so full of books that there was no room for her so she just went to sleep in another bedroom rather than to try to unload her bed.No matter what hap-pened, Aunt Susan said: “Write it down, record it”. Aunt Susan did that. She wrote every day about who came to see her, what she had done that day, and also about world affairs. She also wrote about what the president or other politi-cians had said or done and what she thought about their actions. Aunt Susan had strong opinions and she voiced them in her journals. She always in-cluded the important news of the day. For example, on Dec. 7, 1941 she said, “we are being attacked by the Japanese and Presi-dent Roosevelt declared war.’ The next sentence may something that seems unimportant like, “Valley had a calf today.” Valley was Aunt Susan’s cow so having a calf was import-ant. In other words, Aunt Susan was interested in ev-erything and she recorded it—she followed her own advice and wrote it down. My advice to you is to follow Aunt Susan’s advice. “Write it down, record it.” You don’t need a fancy journal. Aunt Susan used whatever she could find as her journal. Her journals are interesting in 2022, even though that dear lady died 65 years ago. Aunt Susan decided that I should write a family history when I was 9 so I would know about my ancestors. Aunt Susan told me what to write. I attempted to record what Aunt Susan dictated, beginning with great-great-great grandparents, both Furches and Fere-bee. After I finished this project which lasted many days, Aunt Susan said my penmanship was not good enough and that I should copy the book over. It never occurred to me to ar-gue with Aunt Susan or to question her judgement so I copied the history. I still have that history which I treasures 80 years later.Aunt Susan was born in 1860, the year that the Civil War began. In 1864, Union soldiers came to her home when there was a raid in Davie County. When Aunt Susan heard the sound of horse hooves on Valley View Lane, she got scared. She hid behind the stairsteps where she could peep out and see what was happening. The soldiers were greet-ed by Susan’s father, Orrell Etchison. They demand-ed money. Aunt Susan watched as her father and the officer came up the front steps and went into her Pa’s “sitting room.” She saw her father take what gold money he had from the bureau drawer and give it to the Union officer. By the way, Aunt Susan thought the officer had little candles hanging down from the shoulder of his uniform—she learned years later that that decora-tion was really called epau-lettes. The Union soldiers then went to the barn and took Grandfather Orrell Etchison’s beautiful white stallion. They got mad because they couldn’t find a good saddle and bridle, which had been hidden in case there was a raid at the farm, called Valley View, and Union soldiers rode the beautiful white stallion back up Valley View Lane carrying with him all the gold money that Orrell Etchison possessed. Writ-ing that story which was dictated by the person who had actually lived through that raid made history come alive for a 9-year-old girl.Aunt Susan also thought another Civil War story should be added to the his-tory. This was a sad story for the family. Thomas Furches, who was the son of Thomas and Elizabeth Ferebee Furches and Aunt Susan’s uncle, was killed at the Battle at Chancel-lorsville, Va., on May 3, 1863. His body was sent to Salisbury on a train.

These types of buildings are perfect for small manu-facturing operations, ware-houses, or offices under 12,000 square feet,” he said. The L2 developed por-tion of the property is di-vided into 11 lots, with the first 9,000 square-foot spec facility built on Lot 3 (111 Dalton Business Court). Spec buildings off US 64 East at Dalton Road east of Mocksville are designed for smaller businesses. Business ... Carl Carney The first spec building, completed in 2006, is sub-divided into two spaces. Richardson’s Rod & Cus-tom builds custom muscle cars and hot rods in its sec-tion. Infinity Elite Athletics found a completely differ-ent use for their side of the building with a gym de-signed for cheerleading and tumbling.Carney completed a sec-ond 12,000 square-foot spec facility in July 2020 (188 Dalton Road). Garage Doors of the Triad manufac-tures garage doors in 4,000 square feet of the build-ing. Davie Construction is utilizing the other 8,000 square feet to manufacture kiosks for the State Em-ployees Credit Union. He recently sold two acres next to the Crossroads Mart on US 64 to Dollar General. There are two retail lots on US 64 still available for sale, lease, or build-to-suit. Each of those lots will support a 10,000-square- foot retail space. As an enticement to com-panies wanting to build their own facility, Carney will prepare a pad-ready site with access to water, and sewers. “We can have 10,000 square feet available for a potential tenant in less than four months from the time a lease is signed. There are five lots left, and my goal is for each one to bring a new business to Davie County, with their employees spend-ing money here and contrib-uting to the quality of life that we all enjoy. Imagine all those new folks becom-ing involved in our commu-nity.”Carney is considering building a 25,000 square foot spec facility that could be subdivided on the largest remaining lot. That building would have great visibility from US 64, he said.Terry Bralley, president of the Davie County Eco-nomic Development Com-mission, appreciates Car- ney’s support. “Encouraging the private sector to develop spec in-dustrial space has given our county an advantage in at-tracting new companies and jobs,” Bralley said. “Hav-ing buildings ready allows companies to move rapidly and has been part of Davie’s ability to expand our econo-my. We have been very suc-cessful with spec buildings over 100,000 square feet with pre-graded pads. Add-ing inventory below that number, which is also in an opportunity zone, will be beneficial to Davie’s contin-ued growth.” New companies couldn’t find a better advocate of enthusiastic community in-volvement than Carney. As Davie County Chamber of Commerce’s Business of the Year in 2016, then-pres-ident Carolyn McManamy, said: “We love seeing Davie Construction signs around town. They signify growth, success, and a commitment to building our community.” The company celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2018 by spearheading a service project every month. Among those were fundraising to purchase an electronic sign for The Dragonfly House Child Advocacy Center, a head-shaving event ben-efiting the St. Baldrick’s Foundation to fight child-hood cancers, donations for Ignite Davie education fundraiser, and donations to Toys for Tots and the Davie County Heroes Fund sup-porting veterans. The com-pany sponsored the Davie County Senior Games that year and collected for the Clemmons Food Pantry. A corporate culture of giving back is among the reasons Davie Construction Co. is considered an “Em-ployer of Choice.” To provide more career choices to the area's youth, members of the manage-ment team are working with Davie County High School and Davidson-Davie Com-munity College to develop internship and apprentice-ship programs. The com-pany has one intern from the high school. It serves on the high school’s business advisory board, participates in Manufacturing Day for middle school students, and this year was involved with a career day for elementary school students. Employees have also started building Little Free Library boxes that they plan to place around the community and at the multi-family housing complexes that they build. “To those whom much is given, much is expected,” said Carney. “Davie County has given us so much; we are always seeking ways to support our community. Attracting new businesses through spec building is a proven strategy to achieve that objective.”For more information about BCM Industrial Park or Davie Construction, con-tact Carney at ccarney@da-vieconstruction.com or 336-940-6600 ext. 1004. 1484 Hwy. 64 West, Mocksville, NC 336-751-3372 1328733 “Serving Davie County Since 1973” •Brakes • Tires • Batteries • Alignments • Scheduled Maintenance • Complete and Professional Auto Repair RANDY MILLER& SONS 295 Miller Road • Mocksville(336) 284-2826 • We Pump Septic Tanks • SEPTIC TANK SERVICE Septic SystemsFootingsLoader Work Skid Steer WorkTrencher WorkHauling StateCertifiedInspector New Pool & Spa InstallationCleaning • ChemicalsOpening & ClosingVinyl Liner Replacement Tommy Harris/Owner – Over 30 Yrs.

Today we are so glad to have such a firsthand report. I went to Chancellorsville a few years ago. A park ranger there was able to find Thomas Furches name on the roster and he showed me where Thomas was killed during the terrible Battle in the Wilderness during which it is said that the creeks and branches ran red with blood—a horrible loss of life..Aunt Susan and I spent time writing/recording, but that did not take all day every day. Aunt Susan also taught many other things. Some days hours were spent cutting rags into strips so they could weave a rug. Aunt Susan taught me to weave on her loom. My legs were not long enough to push the pedals hard but I tried. Aunt Susan never seemed to get tired of fixing mistakes. I never came anywhere near being as proficient as Aunt Susan was at weaving, but I loved the time that Aunt Susan spent trying to teach me to weave.Other days at Aunt Susan’s house were spent scrapbooking. I mastered scrapbooking. I just hope my scrapbooks never de-cide to fall because I would probably be crushed. There are just so many things that need to be archived that the number of scrapbooks con-tinues to grow as they did at Aunt Susan’s house.It is my wish that every child in this country could have an Aunt Susan or someone who would spend time with him/her-- listen-ing, talking letting him/her know what was happening in their lives is important as are their thoughts. Therefore, Aunt Susan’s admonishment, ”Write it down, record it,” should be followed. Aunt Susan ... 6 - DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Dec. 29, 2022 Manager’s Corner Budgeting for Mocksville’s Future I have fond memories as a kid of saving money from my paper route and odd jobs for things my parents would not buy. This meant giving up comic books, sodas and other things I may have had an immediate desire to have in order to reach my goal. Back in 1982 that goal was to own a black leather jacket and it took months to save the money. I have to admit that I looked cool in that jacket though. Experiences like this one taught me that goals are within our grasp when we work hard and exercise fiscal discipline. The Mocksville Board of Commissioners will hold their annual budget retreat on Saturday February 4th from 8:00 a.m. –2:00 p.m. at Davie Community College (1205 S. Salisbury Street, Mocksville). The meeting is open to the public. This will be the Board’s first budget retreat after completing the Strategic Plan in 2022. Having a Strategic Plan with well defined Mission, Vision and Goals is essential for controlled and thoughtful growth in the Town of Mocksville. The weakness of the old budget process is that it focused on one year and tended to make leaders “one year thinkers” instead of visionary planners. Tying the annual budget to a long term vision with goals and actions that transcend the annual budget is the way we will turn dreams of a better future into reality for Mocksville. The retreat will provide a wealth of information for the Board of Commissioners including current and future economic development trends, revenue projections and recommended capital improvements. The Board will receive updated Objectives, Goals and Actions tied to the Strategic Plan and hear directly from Department Heads regarding needs for FY2023-24. Staff will also brief the Board on recruitment and retention strategies to attract and keep the best Town employees. The morning presentations will be followed by a hands on tour at MFD Station 22 (335 Sanford Avenue) and Public Works (Behind Station 22). This is only the first public meeting in the FY2023-24 budget process. The budget will be discussed at our regular monthly Board of Commissioner meetings on February 7th (Non-Profit Presentations), March 7th (1st Draft and Department Head Requests), April 4th (2nd Draft and Adjustments & Corrections), May 2nd (Proposed Budget & Manager’s Message) and June 6th (Public Hearing / Adoption of Budget Ordinance). We encourage the public to attend all of these meetings to learn more about what your government does in the community. I wish you and your families a happy, prosperous and fulfilling 2023.

The theme this year was “Rock Around the Clock”. There were several floats with folks in rocking chairs, there were at least two Elvis sightings and lots of music could be heard throughout the parade route. If you happened to attend the parade, you may have noticed the Town of Mocksville sponsored a float for the first time (that I can remember). Normally, some of the town officials ride in old cars and wave as they pass the crowds lining our streets. This year we loaded up an old VW bus on a trailer and walked along side while playing Christmas music with a 60s vibe. The Hippies had come to town. I had to think for a bit as to what “Hippies” have to do with the Christmas holiday and it hit me at church last Sunday. Hippies were all about peace! Christmas should be a time when we experience “peace that surpasses understanding”; one of the Advent candles we light during the season is the candle of “Peace”. All during the parade we flashed peace signs and tried to keep up with our float as we engaged the citizens of our town. Have you ever heard of a “stressed out” hippie? These guys were always going with the flow promoting peace and love as they encountered the world. Regardless of your opinion on this movement in our country’s history - you have to admit that life would be much more enjoyable if we had less stress and just went with the flow instead of getting caught up in all the chaos of the season. This is probably the closest I will ever come to being a hippie. Sure, I will put on the tie-dyed shirt when I attend a Wake game and I might even grow my beard out in November but as far as the laid back lifestyle had by that particular group - I just don’t quite fit the mold. However, I do plan on tapping the brakes this year when it comes to the hustle and bustle. My newfound goal of peace I hope to keep at least through the end of December. Thank you to all the folks that made the parade a success! William J.

COMMUNITY THEATRE THE MUSICAL “BRIGHT STAR” -- is based on a true story and featuring the Tony®-nominated score by Steve Martin and Edie Brickell, Broadway’s “BRIGHT STAR” tells a sweeping tale of love and redemption set against the rich backdrop of the American South in the 1920s and ‘40s. When literary editor Alice Murphy meets a young soldier just home from World War II, he awakens her longing for the child she once lost. Haunted by their unique connection, Alice sets out on a journey to understand her past — and what she finds has the power to transform both of their lives. With beautiful bluegrass melodies and powerfully moving characters, “Bright Star” is an uplifting theatrical journey that holds you tight in its grasp. Leaf collection will continue through January 6, 2023. Leaves should be raked to the curb, not into the streets. For the safety of the town crew, do not rake closer than 25 feet to an intersection and do not rake within 10 feet of a power pole. DO NOT RAKE LIMBS OR BRANCHES WITH THE LEAVES! DO NOT BAG LEAVES!

Insulate pipes or faucets in unheated areas. Pipes in unheated garages, crawl spaces, under the house, or in the attic should be wrapped with insulation before cold weather arrives. Seal access doors, air vents and cracks. Close openings where winter winds could blow over exposed pipes. Do not obstruct air vents needed by your furnace or water heater for proper combustion. Locate your meter shut off valves. If a pipe bursts anywhere in your house, use the master shutoff valve to stop the water supply. Take special precautions when temperatures are low. Leave sink cabinet doors open when temperatures drop. If you are away for several days, leave the heat on in your house while you are away. Disconnect and drain outdoor hoses. This allows water to drain and prevents the faucet or hose from bursting during a hard freeze. This is also true for backflow prevention assemblies (BPA’s). Make sure all BPA’s are properly insulated to protect them from cold air.

When reporting an outage, it is necessary to have the closest street address to the light. Street Light OutagesFOG Alert FATS, OILS AND GREASE ACCUMULATIONS CAN BLOCK YOUR PRIVATE PLUMBING SYSTEM AS WELL AS PUBLIC SEWERS Both residential and business customers can help prevent wastewater overflows by minimizing the amount of FOG disposed of through plumbing drains. Inside a sewer, fats, oils and grease change to a plaster-like consistency and can block the pipes, causing an overflow of untreated wastewater. At home, you can dispose of normal cooking oil and grease by putting it in a container as part of your solid waste rather than through your sink and plumbing drain. Wiping and scraping pots, pans and other utensils before washing them are important steps in proper grease disposal. If your business generates waste grease, fats or oil, you should have a grease interception system that works effectively. A company that recycles fats, oils and grease should regularly clean out the grease trap. Burning is not permitted inside the town limits. The Town of Mocksville Code of Ordinances states that it shall be unlawful to burn or set fire to or bury any garbage or any other debris.

Peggy Cannon ClarkPeggy Cannon Clark, 82, of Newport, NC, passed away on Dec. 17th, 2022 at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center in Winston-Salem, NC. She will be remembered by her friends and family as a lady of kindness, strength and faith. Peggy was a loving wife of 59 years, proud mother of two, doting grandmother of six and instant friend to everyone she met.She was born on a small fam-ily farm in Newport, NC on Nov. 29, 1940, where she learned pa-tience, grit and resilience; traits that would later serve her well as a Marine Corps Officer’s wife. Peggy grew up helping her grandparents raise chickens, hogs, and grow tobacco; then lat-er swept the floors of her father’s barber shop after school and worked in the local tobacco fields as a teenager in the summers. She recounted with humor to her children and grandchildren the fond memories of the hard work of her youth. After graduating from New-port High School, she received certification as a radiology technician at UNC Chapel Hill and began working at the old Morehead Hospital in Morehead City, NC.Peggy met the love of her life while on a date at the Officers’ Club at MCAS Cherry Point. First Lieutenant Harold “Hal” Henderson Clark, Naval Aviator, asked to cut in during a dance with her date. After the dance, she squeezed his hand and the two never again danced apart. They were married on Oct. 27, 1962, at Holly Springs Free Will Baptist Church in Newport, but their honeymoon was cut short when Hal was deployed to NAS Key West, on ready alert during the Cuban Missile Crisis.She raised two sons, coordinated eight household moves, endured countless combat and operational separa-tions, served as PTA President, Cub Scouts Den Mother, Little League Team Mom, Sunday School teacher, and her boys’ homework disciplinarian. She was an accomplished pianist, avid reader, and social butterfly who made lifelong friends at every duty station. She enjoyed attending Tar Heel football games and becoming involved in her church and community events. She was a member of First United Methodist Church in Morehead City and she volunteered annually at the New-port Pig Cooking Contest. Later in life, she and Hal moved to Clemmons, NC. After moving, she joined First United Methodist Church of Mocksville. Most of all, she loved spending time with her grandchildren at Gumpond, the family farm where they enjoyed her famous sweet tea, clam chowder, and lemon meringue pies. She took them on frequent trips to explore Fort Macon and to buy fudge on the Beaufort waterfront. She taught them the virtues of generosity, selflessness, and candor; as well as how to open oysters, play Tripoli, and solve conflicts with a hug.She is survived by: her sons, Gregory Cannon Clark (Carey) of Greer, S.C. and Jeffrey David Clark (Melissa) of Mocksville, NC; her grandchildren, Emily Grace “Gra-cie” Clark, Madeline Nicole “Mattie” Clark, Eleanor Max-well Clark, Jackson William Clark, Harris William Clark and Thomas Cannon Clark; and her sister, Sheryl Cannon Wynne (David) of Havelock, NC.

Small bite-sized Coconut Tarts make a perfect sweet treat for a holiday party. One of my holiday favorites is a thumbprint cookie filled with a favorite jam and drizzled with white or dark chocolate. Red and festive, Onion-Cheese Stuffed Cherry Tomatoes are easy to make and delicious. The holiday season's not over yet, so stay on course. Let the celebrations continue right up through New Year's Day. Host a party – an open house, ladies' tea, friend luncheon – or an old fashion cocktail party. People don't entertain at home much anymore, yet, folks still love the rare invita-tion. A meal that feeds many, small finger foods, pick-up bites, or potlucks make what first sounds like too much work more manageable. Usually, I put together a small party for just a few folks – making sure not to burden myself with needless worry over how my house looks, or the food. Good friends don't judge. The party's planned for an evening af-ter Christmas, and I ask guests to bring meaty appetizers. I prepare homemade desserts. The scenar-io is a win-win for everyone. As hostess, I can breathe and stay in the moment, relaxing with friends while sharing holiday stories. A written or printed invitation sent the old-fashioned way - via postal mail - always bespeaks special. Go the extra mile. If you drag out Granny's vintage crys-tal punchbowl – one of the most beautiful serving vessels ever cre-ated – it evokes memories of days gone by. I still enjoy serving old-fashioned punch.Guests enjoy the intimacy of a private home, festive décor, and a variety of food and drink. Something as simple as cake and coffee tastes more delicious at someone else's house. Today's easy pick-up foods were selected for their ease of preparation, a few finger munchies for a low-key party into the new year. And you won't break the bank. Keep it simple. But do remember to stay the course – continue cel-ebrating the reason for the season. Let's bring our celebra-tory days to an end in full steam, full-swing ahead mode. The book of John, written by the apostle John, gives be-lievers assurance and confidence in their faith and God. Additional scripture in Revelations points to "overcomers" as those who stay the course – the true believers. These individual Christians will enjoy special benefits in eternity for refusing to give up their faith despite persecution dur-ing life on earth. Biblical scripture assures us that we can be confident of God's promise for eternal life through his Son, and whoever believes in God's Son has eternal life.1 John 5:13 reads, "I write these things to you who be-lieve in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life." (NIV)On a side note, one night before Christmas, I had the pleasure of hearing the community concert band, Salem Band, perform theme songs from holiday movies. Speak-ing of full swing – the musicians have also assembled a swing band that can be hired for events. After hearing that, you know I planned a fun party – if only in my head. The band's musical director, Eileen Young, closed the holiday concert with a profound directive – "Find a way to be a hero in your community." What a perfect note to end on.

In the final game before Christmas against Starmount, there were moments when it appeared Davie was going to flop and suffer a bad loss. The War Eagles pulled it out in double overtime, but the postgame mood was a far cry from the giddi-ness following the previous home win over Reynolds on Dec. 9. “Hopefully we learned a lesson and understand not to underesti- mate any opponent,” coach Josh Pittman said. “And know that if we play as a team, we can beat any-body. But if we play as individuals, we could lose to anybody.”Davie 66, Watauga 58 On the heels of back-to-back losses, the War Eagles started sluggishly at Watauga on Dec. 17. They shot 33 percent in the first half and failed to build a signifi-cant lead. “We started off a little slow because we were still shellshocked from the Reagan game (the night before),” Pittman said. “But as the game went on, we did some good things. We had some players step up and we got out of there with a win.” Davie trailed 38-36 in the third quarter when it finally turned the screws on an opponent that fell for the fifth time in a row. After piling up 66 points in the previous three games, Jackson Powers was great again. The big man accounted for 10 points during a 15-2 run that bridged the third/fourth quarters and staggered the Pioneers (3-5) at 51-40. They never got closer than six the rest of the way. Powers had 18 points, 15 re-bounds, four blocked shots, two assists and went 6 of 6 from the free-throw line. “Jackson is playing good ball,” Pittman said. “They started three guys over 6-5, but he’s been han-dling his own against everybody, to be honest with you.”Coleman Lawhon (18 points, eight assists, seven rebounds) flirted with a triple-double. Ethan Ratledge compiled 11 points, five boards and four assists. And sophomore Braddock Coleman’s impact improved as he contributed 11 points on 3-of-4 shooting and five rebounds. “Braddock did a lot of things well,” Pittman said. “I told him we need high energy coming off the bench.”Ian Koontz had four points, three blocks and two steals. Hayden Williams had four points. Davie 71, CD 61Davie faced a 17-11 sec-ond-quarter deficit at Central Davidson on Dec. 20, but a major run changed the game as Davie put the brakes on Central’s five-game winning streak. “We held up well under adver-sity,” Pittman said. “We did not let the way the game was being called distract us from being focussed and locked in.”Lawhon, Powers, Williams and Koontz delivered baskets during the 14-0 run in the second quarter. The Spartans showed fight by climbing within 42-36 in the third, but Davie was ready to answer. Ratledge sparked an 11-2 run by making a 3-pointer on his first shot attempt of the night, and moments later, he hit another from Boys go 3-0 with double OT win By Brian PittsEnterprise Record It was heartening to see Da-vie’s up-and-coming swim teams capture a three-team meet on Dec. 16. Nobody could have envisioned that in 2021-22. “Two words - Davie wins,” second-year coach Lance White said. “Great meet and exciting first Exciting moment win of the season and first win in several years. Last year we didn’t even know if we would have a season, and now we are sharing our first win. Davie swim is back and the future looks bright.”The Davie girls and boys both finished in the top two in 13 events. The boys scored 202 points to Oak Grove’s 197 and Glenn’s 50. The Lady War Eagles triumphed with War Eagle swim teams earn first win in years 191, followed by Oak Grove with 84 and Glenn with 33. It was a ho-hum performance by Earnhardt Harris, a gifted ju-nior who was a part of four wins. Individually, he won the 200 free at 1:59.95 and the 100 back at 1:00.97. “He’s a phenomenal, incredibly self-driven young man and knows how to set his goals and work for them,” assistant coach Tak Hirata said. The other individual winners for the boys were Logan Zuleger (100 breast), Austin Boswell (200 IM at 2:39.43), Aiden Davis (100 butterfly at 1:05.75), Bryce Harnsberger (100 free at 58.31) and Colin O’Donell (500 free at 6:42.55). Please See Swim - Page B3 By Brian PittsDavie Enterprise Record The Davie varsity girls basket-ball team went through a dispir-iting stretch that left it 2-5 on Dec. 13. Boy, a lot has changed since then. The War Eagles won three straight and went into Christmas break feeling good. For the first time in seven seasons, they were .500 or better through 10 games. (The 2015-16 team started 6-4.) The run has been facilitated mostly by the suffocating pres-sure defense that third-year coach Lindsey Adams instilled at the be-ginning of her tenure, and it bullied Central Davidson and Starmount into submission. “In all the film I’ve watched, they don’t like (fullcourt) pressure, so I hyped my girls up to get all over their guards and turn them over,” Adams said after a 60-40 win at Central Davidson on Dec. Please See Double OT - Page B5 Girls enter break feeling good Please See Good - Page B4 By Brian PittsEnterprise Record Britany Hernandez and Davie’s JV girls basketball team had a strong response from their darkest hour (Watauga), jumping to a big lead in the early going and beating Starmount. Hernandez was the bright spot at Watauga on Dec. 17. She scored 13 points, hitting double figures for the fifth time, but it wasn’t nearly enough to prevent the worst loss of the season, 50-24. The Pioneers rolled to 6-1, while Davie limped to its third loss in a row. Madison Lewis had six points, Aubrey Speckin two, Tasia Tarpley two and Kaylee Lynch one. Lynch collected 13 rebounds. Four days later at home, Her-nandez put some wind back in Da-vie’s sails, scoring eight first-quar-ter points to lift her team to a 13-4 lead over Starmount. Davie rode the fast start to a 37-20 win. “Britany knows what to do, when to do it and where to do it,” coach Lamar Russell said.After taking a 24-9 lead to half-time, the Rams crept back within 26-17 in the third quarter. The War Eagles, though, regained control in the fourth and won going away. Coach savors win over Starmount Five different players contributed to their 11 points in the fourth. The War Eagles (3-6 overall) deserved some holiday happiness after dropping three games in five days. Ironically, the win came at the expense of someone Russell has known since kindergarten - Starmount coach Matt Payne. “It’s a great way to go into the break,” said a giddy Russell. “We absolutely wanted to beat Starmount because that’s where I graduated from and I went to school with (Payne) from Boon-ville (Elementary) all the way up to Starmount. We graduated together and we work together now (at Yadkin Success Academy). This whole week we’ve been calling it The Showdown between us.”Tarpley, the primary ball han-dler, battled foul trouble all game. Russell was concerned when she picked up her fourth foul early in the third. “Tasia has been our floor gen-eral this year,” he said. “She has been forced into the point-guard position, but our team responded really well to her being out of the game. Everybody else handled the ball and did their job.”Davie overcame Tarpley’s Please See Savors - Page B4 By Brian PittsEnterprise Record The Davie wrestling team ripped off three wins in three days, the War Eagles are 8-1 in a “down” year and all the wins during the five-match winning streak have been by 23 or more points. Davie is of course led by Hunter Testa, who is 80-6 in his career, which is one of the best records through 86 matches in program history. He went 28-3 at 182/195 as a freshman, he went 34-3 at 182 and finished third in the state as a sophomore, and he’s 18-0 at 182/195 as a junior. Among those 18 wins are 15 pins, and he has a 33-match winning streak in the regular season. “He’s tough, man,” coach Perry Long said. “It’s unreal. It’s good to have him in the (practice) room. He gets them ready. He can rally them together and say, ‘Hey, this is what we need to do,’ and they’re all ears.”Davie collected eight pins in a 48-25 home win over North Iredell on Dec. 20.

The first beatdown came on the road on Dec. 7. Cam-eron Knox and Dulin set the tone in a 23-6 first quarter and the Tigers beat Canter-bury 49-18. Dulin finished with 12 points, followed by Knox with 11, Nance nine, Jayden Warren eight, Ean Click four, Owen Parker three and Anderson Bran-ham two. SD 57, Summit 27Five days later, the Tigers picked up where they left off against visiting Summit. Dulin and Nance came out smoking as South sprinted to a 24-7 lead, and the result was a 30-point stomping. Dulin (18) and Nance (16) easily outscored the Eagles by themselves. Knox had eight, Branham five, Wil-liam Martin four, Warren four and Luke Foster two. SD 53, Phoenix 27There was yet another crushing victory over vis-iting Phoenix Academy on Dec. 15. In the third quarter, the Tigers (6-2) extended a 35-22 lead to 53-27. Nance (21 points) and Dulin (16) were dominant as usual. Also scoring were Knox (six), Foster (four), Warren (two), Camdyn Hol-land (two) and Martin (two). The margins in South’s winning streak have been 43, 31, 74, 31, 30 and 26 points. Dulin and Nance are averaging 20.8 and 17.5 points, respectively. Ellis 50, NCLA 22Coming off its first loss, Ellis unloaded on a subpar opponent on Dec. 12, belt-ing North Carolina Leader-ship Academy. The Jaguars scored 29 of 31 points in the second quarter, with Ben Reid and Braxton Bowling doing the bulk of the damage, to carry a 46-9 lead into the break. Bowling (14), Reid (13, three 3-pointers) and Aiden Horton (13) all scored in double figures. Brandon Forrest added five, Max Cornatzer three and Cannon Smith two as Ellis notched its fifth win by 28-plus points. Ellis 63, WCA 43The Jaguars were miss-ing their No. 2 scorer - Reid, who averages 11.8, was out sick - against visiting Wes-leyan Christian Academy on Dec. 15. But ultimately it hardly mattered because of terrific efforts from Bowl-ing, Forrest and Horton. The Trojans looked capa-ble of winning at halftime, when it was 25-25. “In the first half, we came out pretty shaky,” coach Daniel York said. The second half, though, was all Ellis. Bowling spear-headed a 17-10 surge in the third, and Bowling, Forrest and J’sierre Arnold led a 21-point fourth as the Jag-uars (7-1) reached their most wins in five seasons with nearly half the season to go. ““I’m very proud of the way we played,” York said. “We turned the intensity up on the defensive end. We were giving up too many baskets (in the first half), and also we weren’t getting back in transition. The little things will come back and bite you.”While Bowling had a typical game with 22 points (he averages 20.2), Forrest and Horton stepped up to offset Reid’s absence. For-rest scored a season-high 18, which was 10 above his average. “I told Brandon at half-time: ‘We want to play in the passing lane and get steals. They’re making the closest pass possible; they’re not looking at any skip passes. Cheat up a little,’” York said. “In the third quarter, I believe Brandon got three or four steals and ran the floor. Braxton was doing the same thing.”Horton converted 7 of 10 free throws on the way to 13 points. “Aiden hit a big 3 at the beginning of the game,” York said. “He’s a vocal leader on the court, so his presence on the floor and leadership help a lot. He has great floor vision. He knows how to space the floor and move the ball at a good pace. Having him there has helped us tremendously all year.”Colin Harrison, who re-turned after missing five games with an injury, re-placed Reid in the starting lineup. Arnold saw extra minutes as well. Both con-tributed four points. Weston Barefoot had two. “J’sierre stepped up in big ways for us,” York said. “He definitely stepped up in helping out with rebound-ing, and he definitely gave us a presence in the paint.”ND 40, Canterbury 30Edarius Oliver (16 points) hit double figures for the fifth time in six games, Blake French had a dou-ble-double (10 points, 12 rebounds) and North Davie took down the visiting Cou-gars on Dec. 13. The Wildcats delivered the knockout blow in the third quarter, outscoring Canterbury 10-2 to open up a 28-14 lead. “A big win for us,” coach Trevor Gooch said. “We played really well defen-sively, especially in the second and third quarters. Edarius is our force man and sparkplug on offense. In transition, he did a great job of finishing around the basket. Blake keeps get-ting better, especially with rebounds and points in the paint.”Ty Greene scored six on a pair of 3s, Will Carter had four points and five assists, and Wade Ridenhour and Carter Cornett chipped in two points each. “Will is really improving as a point guard and floor leader,” Gooch said. ND 49, Summit 43On Dec. 1, the Wild-cats were 1-2 with 29- and 31-point losses. But look now: They ended the pre-Christmas schedule with four consecutive wins. They won a crazy game on the road on Dec. 15. North led 15-3 after the first quarter, 31-12 at halftime and 40-24 after the third. The Wildcats looked des-tined for an easy victory. But in a dizzying turnaround, the Eagles had a 43-42 lead with 1:21 to play. North nearly fell off a cliff during the Ea-gles’ 18-3 run in the fourth. “They got hot and we went cold,” Gooch said. “But we were able to weath-er the storm.”Greene and Oliver made the difference at winning time. With a minute re-maining, Greene drilled a 3-pointer that gave North a 45-43 lead. Then Oliver hit two free throws. Carter and French hit one free throw each for good measure. North (5-2) got its points from Oliver (11), Greene (10), French (eight), Cornett (six), Carter (five), Nolan Allen (five) and Reynolds Tomlinson (four).

How dis-ruptive was Davie’s defense at Central? It held an 8-3 lead at the end of one despite missing 14 of 17 field goals. Adams let Kenadi Gen-try marinate on the bench for the first few minutes of the game. The junior guard injected life in the offense the moment she entered the game. Davie was 0 for 4 from 3-point land before Gentry drained a triple. All of a sudden, the War Eagles couldn’t miss. Gentry hit another 3. Then Somer Johnson buried a 3.

Lynch not only ripped down her standard 11 re-bounds - it was her ninth straight double-figure re-bounding effort dating to last year - she hit two 3-pointers and scored a season-high 13 points, or nine above her average. Hernandez had 10 points and three steals. lead. They entered halftime ahead 28-16 as Rankin hit 7 of 8 free throws. “My girls know they have to stay hungry, and I think (Gentry) responded well,” Adams said. “That showed a lot about her char-acter because she could have been upset for not starting. But I think she came in with a chip on her shoulder. I was very proud of how she responded with that.”At the outset of the sec-ond half, Davie wiped out Central’s dim hopes of a comeback. Gentry account-ed for eight points during a 14-2 run that widened the gap to 42-18. Johnson followed a 21-point outing with 19 points, five rebounds and five steals. The 40 points in back-to-back games raised her average from 8.7 to 11.2, and it marked the most points in back-to-back games since Elizabeth John-son had 46 across two games in 2020-21. Gentry, who was averag-ing 6.1 points with a high of nine, hit her stride with 18 points, four 3s, five steals and three assists. Rankin did all her scoring from the line (8-10 free throws), and she added five assists, four rebounds and three steals. Keelyn Oakes had seven points. Lauren Colama-rino had six points, nine rebounds and four steals. And Peyton Spaugh had two points, three assists and three steals. Davie 80, Starmount 43After their first 18 shots against visiting Starmount on Dec. 21, the War Eagles were shooting 22 percent and trailing the Rams 13-9. But from that point on, they were magnificent. From that point on, Davie - are you sitting down? - hit 23 of 44 field goals, includ-ing 7 of 13 3-pointers, and put up 80 points for the first time in 311 games, or 13 years. Davie was 0 for 6 from long range before Spaugh hit a momentum-turning triple that sliced Starmount’s lead to 13-12. Spaugh scored off a Gentry steal, and now Spaugh’s hair was on fire. Spaugh converted a short jumper. Spaugh and a teammate trapped a Ram. Spaugh came out of it with a steal and dashed down-court for an easy two. After Gentry nailed a 3, Spaugh made a pass from her knees and Oakes laid it in. Bailey Aderhold capped a 21-0 run with a 3. What an impressive se-quence for Spaugh, who scored nine straight points and finished with 17 points, eight rebounds, seven steals and two assists. She made 7 of 14 shots. She came in averaging 4.1 points and her previous high in two varsity seasons was 10. “I’m super proud of her for knocking shots down and getting after it defen-sively,” Adams said. Later in the second quar-ter, Johnson became the fourth War Eagles to hit a 3. Aderhold connected from deep as Davie carved out a 38-17 halftime lead and enjoyed a stretch in which it made 10 of 16 field goals. Gentry had 15 points, four steals, three assists and hit 5 of 6 foul shots. Johnson (13 points, three steals) hit double figures for the third straight game. Aderhold had 12 points on 4-of-7 shoot-ing, a season high for the freshman. “Four people in double digits for us is remarkable,” Adams said. As a matter of fact, Ad-ams got every single thing she wanted from the whole squad. All nine girls scored, including Oakes (six points, five rebounds), Rankin (six points, four steals, four rebounds), Kaylee Lynch (five points, three rebounds, blocked shot), Colamarino (four points, 10 rebounds, two assists, two blocks) and Sydney Dirks (two points). In just her third varsity appearance, Lynch convert-ed 5 of 7 free throws. “And that’s after she played four quarters in the JV game,” Adams said.Notes: The last time Da-vie hit the 80 mark was in an 83-58 rout of East Rowan in 2009-10, when current assistant coach Debbie Ev-ans was the head coach. In that game, Janna Dixon scored 17, Tia Clement 15 and Ashley Smoot 11. ... Adams believes the tough early schedule has paid divi-dends. “I like to play several early 50-50 games to expose our weaknesses, and I think that’s what the Atkins loss was,” she said.

Lawhon was fouled on a 3-point try and converted all three free throws. Then Lawhon got a steal, was fouled and hit both foul shots to put Davie in command at 53-38. The Spartans (7-2) did not quit, cutting the margin to 62-56, but Lawhon, Cole-man and Williams closed the door by hitting a combined 13 of 16 free throws. “After the first quarter, we played really well,” Pit-tman said. “It was a good, solid win. We were the first team to beat them at home this year.”Davie’s attack was pow-ered by Lawhon (26 points) and Williams (21). Lawhon hit 6 of 12 field goals, 12 of 14 free throws, grabbed five rebounds and dished out four assists.

By Brian PittsEnterprise Record The Davie JV boys bas-ketball team began the sea-son setting the world on fire. Then it suffered through a rough patch. Then it got back on track before the holidays. But before thumping Central Davidson and Star-mount, Watauga injected more misery into the War Eagles, who lost 45-44 in Boone on Dec. 17. In a sense, the War Ea-gles pulled defeat from the jaws of victory by outscor-ing Watauga in three of four quarters but falling short anyway. The quarter that went Watauga’s way was the third, when the Pioneers out-scored Davie 20-12 to take a 33-31 lead. After hitting one 3-pointer in the first half, the Pioneers knocked down five in the second half and improved to 7-3. Driver, Erlandsson stand out for JV boys Meanwhile, a Davie team that has scored 80, 82 and 90 points this season was held to a season low and suffered its third straight loss - by a total of 17 points. Davie’s scoring came from Ethan Driver (11), Cameron Owens (nine), Adam Brown (seven), Con-nor Hood (five), Elliott Er-landsson (four), Thomas Essic (three), David Patton (two), Wade Bomar (two) and Logan Vandeweerd (one). Despite the downward spiral against East Forsyth, Reagan and Watauga, varsi-ty coach Josh Pittman’s faith did not waver. “They should have prob-ably won (at Watauga),” he said. “It just didn’t go their way. If you give a team confidence, it makes the game 10 times harder. On the whole, they’re doing well. They’re competing, they’re playing hard and they’re trying to share the ball and play the right way. I’m convinced they’re going to continue to improve and get better.”The Pioneers felt right at home during the tight fourth quarter. For the sixth time in 10 games, they played a game decided by four points or less. They’ve been victo-rious in four of them. Davie 66, CD 45After losing three games in five days, the War Eagles took out their frustrations on Central Davidson in Lexing-ton on Dec. 20. The performance of Driver was the story. Davie busted the game wide open with a 21-8 run in the third, and Driver was responsible for 14 of the points as Davie extended a 30-20 lead to 51-28. Driver finished with 23 points by shooting a torrid 8 of 11, including 3 of 5 from 3-point range. He matched the season high for points by a War Eagle (Brown has hit 23 twice) and he added six rebounds. “He’s starting to take the ball to the basket a lot more,” coach Tracey Arnold said of the freshman. “Early in the year he was falling in love with his 3-point shot. But now he’s starting to drive and score more around the basket. He’s starting to figure it out. He’s one of my stronger players. He gets on the boards and plays solid defense.”Owens (15 points, three steals), Erlandsson (sev-en points, 11 rebounds), Brown (five points, eight assists, three steals, three blocks) and Isaac Swisher (four points, six rebounds, two blocks) contributed in a variety of ways as Davie throttled a team that came in with a 6-1 record. Also scoring were Jackson Sulec-ki (three), Bomar (two), George Sakai (two), Essic (two), Patton (two) and Vandeweerd (one). Davie 76, Starmount 35Erlandsson starred in the wipeout over the visit-ing Rams on Dec. 21. He scored 24 points on 10-of-16 shooting, he controlled nine rebounds and blocked two shots as Davie (7-3 overall) rang up its fifth win by 40-plus points. It was the most points by a JV War Eagle since Ian Koontz’s 27 in a 67-35 win over Parkland last February, and Arnold doesn’t think the sophomore has even scratched the surface of his potential. “That was his best game of the year,” he said. “I’ve been trying to get him to play inside more. He’s such a good shooter that he wants to rely on his outside shot. But he’s 6-4 and he’s got bounce. If he gets in the paint, he’ll have more 20-point nights.” One time when Davie missed a shot, Erlandsson - get this - came flying in and dunked the rebound with his left hand. How many times are you going to see that in a JV game? “During the summer, he kept trying and trying (to dunk),” Arnold said. “He wasn’t quite there. At the beginning of basketball season, he got a little dunk. Now he’s gotten to where he can dunk it with two hands. So his springs have picked up. He’s lost some weight. I think he’s starting to grow into his body.”Davie got 10 points and seven assists from Owens, nine points from Driver and seven points, four as-sists, four rebounds and four steals from Brown. The oth-er points came from Essic (six), Sulecki (five), Hood (four), Bomar (three), Van-deweerd (three), Swisher (two), Brady Vallance (two) and Sakai (one). someone to pick up the in-tensity, he got us going by using his off-the-ball game, his dribble game and setting up teammates. “Hayden played well. He got his rhythm back after being out with the flu.”And then there was the relentless Powers, who turned in a double-double with 10 points, 13 rebounds and two blocks. “Jackson played a heck of a game,” Pittman said. “He was getting beat up all night and he didn’t com-plain. He just kept going back and going back and going back and putting pres-sure on their bigs. I thought he did a wonderful job.”Ratledge and Coleman (6-6 FTs) had six points each, and Koontz had two points, nine rebounds and two assists. Davie 70, Starmount 62 (2OT)Although Davie and the visiting Rams provided a lively crowd with a lot of drama on Dec. 21, Davie’s double-overtime victory was far from pretty. It was fortunate to escape against a 1-A opponent. “We’re still looking at a team that is growing,” Pittman said. “I’m still very realistic and we’re young. We have guys that haven’t been in double overtimes or been in clutch situations or played in front of this many people that’s coming to support. So it’s bright lights.“But I’d rather win and learn a lesson than lose and learn a lesson. And I think we should take a lesson from this one.”The War Eagles (8-2) had a dreadful start. When they were down 10-0 in the opening minutes, Pittman had already gone nine deep into his bench, trying every-thing to find a spark. When the deficit was 12-0, ice-cold Davie was 0 for 10 from the floor, 0 for 5 from deep and 0 for 2 from the line. The desperately-needed spark came from Coleman, who put Davie on the board with two free throws with :15 left in the first quarter. Coleman hit a buzzer-beat-ing 3 to close the quarter. Early in the second, he hit another 3 to make it 14-8. The reserve sophomore had all eight Davie points. During the comeback, Davie benefited from an-other reserve. Burke Rosen-baum buried a triple on his first shot. Powers followed with a 3. Then Rosenbaum hit another 3 as Davie con-verted five straight shots from long range. Thanks to the bench, Davie’s halftime deficit was only 25-23. “I am super proud of Braddock, Gavin (Reese), Burke and Landon (Waller) for coming in and changing the dynamic of the game - just playing hard and play-ing like it means something to them,” Pittman said. Davie appeared to be in control when Ratledge’s 3 made it 41-31, when Cole-man’s steal/layup made it 43-33 and when Powers’ basket off a Lawhon in-bounds pass made it 52-43 in the fourth. But the unflappable Rams (5-3) clawed their way back. They closed regulation with a 10-1 run, while Davie was turning it over and missing the front end of one-and- ones. Starmount’s Jadon Hurt Bailey, who had made one field goal all game, banked in a buzzer-beater 3 to tie the game at 53-53 and force the four-minute overtime.With :22 left in the first OT, Lawhon stepped to the line with Davie trailing 59-57. His first attempt swished. He received some holiday kindness on his second try, the free throw hitting the front of the rim and rolling in to tie the game. Starmount’s poten-tial game-winner was off the mark and Rosenbaum secured the rebound with 1.8 seconds on the clock. In the second OT, Davie had missed eight straight field goals before Lawhon - hallelujah! - buried his third straight 3 to give Davie a 62-59 lead. Moments later, two War Eagles trapped a Ram under the Davie basket. Lawhon reached up and bat-ted the pass. Lo and behold, the deflection went right into the goal to make it 65-61. Then a Powers 3 put it out of reach at 68-62. Powers finished with 19 points, seven rebounds, two assists and two steals. He hit 7 of 13 field goals and 3 of 5 3s. Lawhon had 17 points, five assists and four steals. Williams had nine points and 10 boards. Ratledge had seven points, four rebounds and two blocks. But the unsung heroes were Coleman (10 points, three assists, two steals, two rebounds) and Rosen-baum (eight points, three assists, three rebounds). Rosenbaum was an efficient 3-for-5 shooting, including 2-4 from the arc. Davie did just enough, and in a subdued locker room, Pittman wasn’t happy with his team nor himself. “I blame myself because I didn’t come in this morn-ing,” he said. “We should have come in and got shots up, and we should have thought about the process of getting focussed in. I blame myself because I feel like I let us down. I don’t think we were prepared the way we should have been prepared to play a team with juniors and seniors. The way the stars are aligning this year, we’re going to play a bunch of senior-led teams, and I’ll own this one because I feel like we came out flat. It’s time for me to go back to the drawing board and mix some things up.

Iredell on Dec. 22. In the first one, it bullied Magna Vista 66-12. Pinning Wrestling ... were Nail, Hire, Davis, Luke Miller, Pelote, Tes-ta, Brandon Wood, Brysen Godbey and Strickland. The Warriors of Ridgeway, Va., made a 98-mile trip to Olin. Later in the evening, the War Eagles eased to a 51-24 win over South Ired-ell. Pelote and Alexander had pins and Dylan Miller won a decision. There were only six matchups because the Vikings handed out six forfeits. Several War Eagles are having solid seasons. God-bey (19-4) is doing what ev-eryone expected at 195/220. Hire (20-5 at 132), Alexan-der (18-7 at 170), Strickland (17-6 at heavyweight) and Nail (14-7 at 126) have all made considerable progress since last year. “(Hire) will cross-face the mess out of you and get you in a cradle in a minute,” Long said. “He’s a cradle king. He’ll hit cradles from everywhere.”Davis (5-1 at 126/132) has acquitted himself well as a freshman, and Pelote, an-other freshman, is on a tear at 152. He’s 12-9 with five straight pins. Sometimes his wins defy logic. “Sometimes he’s a little sloppy as a freshman, but he’s still wrestling well,” Long said. “Sometimes I say: ‘Whoa, whoa, whoa. Don’t do that.’ And it works for him.” Brady Vallance has possession. Cameron Owens handles the ball. At right, Ethan Driver looks to pass. - Photos by Marnic Lewis B6 - DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Dec. 29, 2022 By Brenda BaileySheffield-CalahalnCorrespondent Wishing everyone a Happy New Yea.

Continued From Page B8who live in a retirement fa-cility in Cary, have the vi-rus. My dear friend, Jane Carrigan Testerman, who lives in Mooresville has COVID. This is the second time that Bill and Marty have had COVID. The Etchison family was saddened last week by the death of the oldest member of the family, Louise Etchi-son, 93. Louise remained in her home until she entered the Kate B. Reynolds Hos-pice House in Winston-Sa-lem three days before she died. Louise’s funeral was at the Hayworth-Miller Fu-neral Home in Lewisville, and she was buried beside her parents in the Union Hill Baptist Church Cemetery on Lasater Lake Road. By the way, Union Hill Baptist Church near Clemmons is one of the church that grew from Eaton’s Baptist Church Birdie Frances Burchette, daughter of Joe and Elizabeth Tutterow Burchette spends her first Christmas at the family’s Frostland. Cana ... in Davie County. Louise was the daughter of Or-rell and Fleda Bell Collette Etchison. There were six children in the Orrell/Fleda Belle Etchison family. Lou-ise was the last one living. Louise was Betty West’s first cousin. I only have two Etchison first cousins left: Dahlgren Etchison of Cana and James Etchison, who lives in Queen’s Village, New York. I had 36 Sofley cousins at one time. Now there are only 8 on mother’s side still living.Roland Henry West Jr. (Henry) was honored at a dinner hosted by his mother on Dec. 27, his 65th birth-day. Henry’s family, Alex-ander Spillman, Autumn Spillman Alvarez and her husband Peter, and Alexan-der and Autumn’s Mother, Mindy Spillman, all of Yad-kinville, and Frances Tutte-row, Susan, Al, and Oliver Cujas, all of Cana came to celebrate with him. \Hen-ry closed Northwest Dairy Equipment on June 30. The company had been in oper-ation since July 1956 when it was founded by Henry’s father, Roland Henry West. For 66 years the Wests had been on call 24/7 to do ser-vice work on the milking equipment of dairy farmers in the following Northwest North Carolina counties: Davidson, Davie, Forsyth, Surry, Stokes, Yadkin, Wil-kes, Watauga, Alleghany, and Ashe. Henry has been answering calls at all hours of the day and night for more than 45 years. Some dairy farmers milk all day and all night so the calls came in at all times. Little by little the dairies went out of business. At one time Da-vie County had 100 farms with some Surge equip-ment, which of course had to be serviced if it was not working right. Now Davie County has no dairy farms. The Blackwelder farm went out of business about a year ago and that was the last Davie dairy farm—a similar story occurred in the other counties so the area which at one time had 400 dairies now has few. It was time for Northwest Dairy Equipment to close.Since closing the busi-ness, Henry has had a good time working on his farm, which is the land that was owned by his grandfather, Everett Frost Etchison, who was Henry’s best friend and mentor. Henry’s Papa had been dead for 28 years and the equipment was old when he died. Henry has been able to resurrect some of that old farm equipment, and he has used it. Henry is as happy as can be working on his farm.
