That commitment is attract-ing statewide attention. Ignite Davie was recently detailed in an article by EdNC and will be featured on an ep-isode of PBS North Carolina’s program ncIMPACT early this year. “Ignite Davie is impacting the lives of our students and their families. We are impact-ing the vitality of our commu-nity, the success of our em-ployers, and the prosperity of our future generations,” said Carolyn McManamy, director Robert Gunter videos Davidson-Davie Community College sutdents Kaisee Osborne, Merrit Killian and Eden Hughes for an upcoming PBS special about Ignite Davie. - Photo by Jeanna Baxter White Lights, camera, Ignite Davie Davie County Recreation and Parks (DCRP) is accepting community recreation grant applications.

By Ron SempleFor the Enterprise ADVANCE - Two veteran officers of the Advance Fire Department were honored by the Davie County Fire and Rescue Association at its an-nual awards banquet at Fork Baptist Church.Capt. Ronnie Robertson was inducted into the organi-zation’s Hall of Fame and Lt. Chris Dennis was named First Responder of the Year.Robertson, 70, first vol-unteered at the Advance Fire Department to help with its barbecue sales when he was a student at Davie High School. He was then talked into tak-ing a class that needed anoth-er warm body to function by Rick Hockaday, who became a member of the Hall of Fame five years ago.“One thing led to another,” Robertson said. “And soon enough I was a training to be a firefighter.”Over the next 52 years, Rob-ertson served the department as firefighter, lieutenant, cap-tain, assistant chief and deputy chief.He is a captain again assist-ing Chief Rodney Miller as public information officer. He has also been coordinator of the department’s popular summer fire camp for middle schoolers for the past eight year. Robert-son still answers fire calls.Robertson had conducted fire safety drills at the Shady Grove Elementary School for the past 39 years and remem-bers that the first one consist-ed of two parked fire engines sounding their sirens as a sig-nal for the kids to evacuate. Robertson in firefighting hall of fame In 1976, Robertson, who was “too skinny” to qualify then for a job with the Win-ston-Salem Fire Department, was one of the first four hired by the newly created Davie County 911 Communications unit. He rose to direction of E911 Communications and re-tired in 2015.Robertson serves as treasur-er of the Advance Fire Depart-ment’s Board of Directors.He is married to the former Mary Branon. They have two grown children and a grand-daughter. • Dennis, 39, the First Re-sponder of the Year, joined the Advance department five years ago. There are 12 fire depart-ments in Davie County and he also works part-time at the Mocksville Fire Department.He was persuaded to attend a meeting of the department’s Board of Directors by Fire-fighter Jeff Carter and, as he said, “I was hooked.”An EMT, Dennis is also cer-tified in a myriad of fire and rescue specialties.

All eligible high school graduates, regardless of financial need or academic ability, can contin-ue their education and train-ing. The program pays tuition, fees, and a stipend for books for students to attend David-son-Davie Community College full-time. Students may pursue a certificate, diploma, or asso-ciate/transfer program.Twenty-one students have graduated so far, and 160 are in the program. EducationNC (EdNC) re-ports on major trends, issues, and challenges related to ed-ucation. Recently, Dean Dre-scher, director of strategic initiatives, traveled to DDCC to learn more about the hows and whys of Ignite Davie. She toured the DDCC campus and interviewed Dr. Darrin Hart-ness, president of DDCC; Dr. Susan Burleson, executive vice president, Academic & Student Affairs of DDCC, Carolyn McManamy, direc-tor of DavieCONNECT; Jane Simpson, president & CEO of Davie Community Founda-tion, Ashley O’Donnell, Davie County’s coordinator for high school partnerships for DDCC; and Sandra Porter, director of student services for the Davie County campus of DDCC. David Hurst, a producer/reporter with PBS North Car-olina, also reached out to the college to learn more about how the collaborative Ignite Davie program is making pos-itive strides in the community. “Ignite Davie is impacting the lives of our students and their families.

Then, destroying the innocent act, she winked at her grand-mother and added, half under her breath, “probably.”With a laugh and a kiss on Meg’s forehead, Martha left the room, heading into the kitchen to finish her chores. Vel-vety darkness sprinkled with stars covered the sky, and, other than the lights in the kitchen, the only other glow came from the Christmas tree in the den. Martha sang, “O Holy Night” to herself softly, not wanting to disturb her granddaughter. So quietly at first, she almost missed it, Martha heard the words, “I love that song.” Who said that, she wondered. Peering around the corner, she could see that Meg was sound asleep. Chuckling to herself, she thought, poor Meg, can’t ever keep her eyes open once she gets wrapped in a warm blanket. Nope, it wasn’t Meg. But who else? Then the voice continued, “It was a night, just like tonight. See how the stars are twin-kling in the sky, just like they were that night.”This time Martha was watching and clearly saw the angel on the top of the tree talking, her lips moving with her words. Scarcely believing her eyes, she watched as a shepherd figurine perched on the mantle responded, “Yes, a night just like this one, the world waiting for the birth of a savior. But no savior will be born tonight; it’s already hap-pened. And look at the world, illnesses and wars, fighting and violence. The world itself is being destroyed.”The angel shook her head and gently responded. “But look, there on the couch; look at the child.” She added, “You remember the words, don’t you? “Fear not. I bring you good news that will bring joy to all people. Today…you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling clothes lying in a manger.” Luke 2:8 - 12“That’s not the Christ child,” the shepherd scoffed. “She’s just a kid.”“You’re right, but you’re wrong,” the angel replied. “This child, like all children, represents what the world needs most: hope, faith, and joy. The child, each child, gives us hope for a better future. She gives us faith that we can create a better world, and who gives more joy than a child? You were here Christmas morning. You saw her. Have you forgotten the sheer joy she had in celebrating Christmas? Seeing the shepherd scoffing, she quickly added, “Not just the joy of getting presents, she was filled with the joy, the innocent joy of Christmas and its promise. Each child, every child born, renews that promise, that beauty, that joy, and yes, absolutely, that innocence. Those things don’t end at midnight on December 25th; they last the entire year, and every year. It is our job, everyone’s job, to work to make that promise be fulfilled, to give hope, to nurture faith, and to embrace the joy of Christmas every day, for our children, and for ourselves.Hearing the words, Martha nodded her head. Every child, every newborn baby is a promise, a gift. Certainly, Meg is a gift for me, she thought. Martha’s heart filled with love for the little girl, supposedly sleeping on the couch, even as she watched the child slide off the couch, slip over to the tree, pull down the donkey ornament and sit, watching entranced, as the angel and the shepherd continued to talk. Pragmatism AwardsBy Marie CraigThere are some wonderful gadgets and inventions that make life so much easier. My first nomination would be fleece. I still have a wool three-quarter length coat that is about 32 years old that I call my serious coat. It weighs three and a half pounds and has to be dry cleaned. I keep it mainly for the nostalgic value of previous cold weather and the sharing of winter experiences with my family mem-bers. I wore it during this recent Arctic weather. However, most of the time, I grab one of my fleece jackets to wear. They weigh zero, can be washed in the washing machine, air dry quickly and are handy for everyday use or for back-packing where every ounce matters. Another thing I use every day is the small plastic item with little doors for arranging vitamins or medicine. A two-week version gives you the opportunity to spend a few minutes inserting pills and then have 14 days of not having to read labels and start from scratch each day. This is prag-matism in action leading to accuracy and wise use of time.When I downsized, I realized I had to own fewer things. My home can’t be expanded horizontally, but vertical op-tions are available. I bought several clear plastic shoe bags that are the size of doors. One, of course, holds shoes. An-other is on the back of the bathroom door with cosmetics, cold medicine, aspirin, and first aid supplies. A third one is on the back of a closet door and holds charge cords and many attachments for smartphones and other electronic equipment. A card in the pocket describes the item and when I bought it.Velcro, or hook and loop tape, is also included in my To the editor:In the year 2016, a disagreement had formed over law enforcement coverage between the Davie County Sheriff’s Office and the Town of Bermuda Run. The town wanted extra coverage but was not willing to pay for the extra covereage.About this time, the elected powers for Davie County government decided to change the way taxes are distrib-uted and removed some tax funds going to the three mu-nicipalities in the county (forcing Bermuda Run to pay, but also the other two towns, Mocksville and Cooleemee). This was not very popular and hurt the towns financially. After all, Mocksville and Cooleemee were paying for their own police.I spoke the night of the vote at the Davie County Board of Commissioners meeting, asking the board to recon-sider and also warning that this would devastate the town of Cooleemee due to the finances. Three commissioners - Ferguson, Poindexter and Renegar - voted yes together (as always) under the direction of acting county manager, Mike Ruffin. Mocksville and Bermuda Run had the funds to make up for the lost revenue. Cooleemee did not. Struggling since the mill closed in 1969, the town was able to survive. This tax re-calculation has removed approximately one-third of the town of Cooleemee’s budget each year going forward, which is unsustainable.Our elected officials are to serve fairly and equally to all citizens. Mr. Ferguson was not re-elected. It is time to find candidates to fill the other two seats who will represent all corners of Davie County.There are no police departments left in the county. Mocksville Police Department closed due to self-inflicted internal problems. Cooleemee Police Department is now closed because of the decision/vote in 2016. So, the town board of Cooleemee had no choice - either close the police department or turn off street lights.The three Davie County commissioners and county manager were warned of the consequences and the citizens of Cooleemee were sentenced to a slow death.Bobby WestRetired Cooleemee Police Chief County sentences Cooleemee to slow death I’m going to exercise more in 2023.How many times have we made this resolution?But this time, I mean it. I really mean it.Don’t get me wrong, there are no marathons in my near future. And to be honest, it won’t take much exercise to be “more” than in 2022. So this goal is attainable.The most exercise my body got in 2022 was from my right elbow. It should be as strong as an ox. Maybe the strongest ever for someone my puny size.There’s something about entering a new calendar year that makes us go crazy with ways we plan to improve our lives, or improve the lives of those around us. We plan, and make these resolutions, but rarely do we meet those lofty goals we set for ourselves.Goals are good. They give you a reason to go on, to per-severe. But too lofty goals may put you into a depression when you don’t reach them. So there’s a balance. Set the goal, but make it attainable.Example: I’m going to exercise more in 2023. Starting tomorrow.We can all follow that one.Here’s some more.I’m going to drink more beer than in 2022. Only 1,832 bottles left to go. I can do it. With a little hard work, dedi-cation and a working refrigerator: I can do it. Cheer me on. Better yet, if you see me out, send one my way.I’m going to be a bit meaner in 2023. Not flat-out Darth Vader, just a tiny bit. I read on the internet that people who are meaner are more successful. You know, the inter-net is like the newspaper: If you read it there, it has to be true. This one will be hard. I enjoy being kind to people, even ones who aren’t so kind to me. But sometime, one day in 2023, I’m going to hang up the phone on some-one. There. I’m meaner. Wish me luck. And more success (That’s really bull, because I used to be meaner and it got me nowhere).I’m going to see more live music in 2023. It doesn’t have to be The Stones, although that would be cool, just local and touring bands - the ones who don’t even dream of playing in the big arenas. Watch out Reeves Theater, you’ll see me more in 2023.I’m going to be more romantic in 2023. How could that even be possible? I’m the guy who when my wife-to-be asked me when we were going to get married, I replied: “I don’t care. You want to do it before or after supper?” I was dead serious. You can’t get any more romantic than that, so this one will be tough.I’m going to eat fewer fried foods in 2023. Why? Be-cause I’m old. Because I get indigestion. Because I want to still be able to put on a pair of socks at year’s end.I’m going to watch less television in 2023. By golly, I’m tired of “surfing” through 2 million channels and not being able to find something I want to watch. Who de-cides what shows will be aired anyway? Nobody asked me if I wanted to watch CNN or Fox News all day, or “Teen Moms” or “Dancing With The (@$#!&) Endan-gered Elephants.” At least there’s the local news, right? You’ll learn who got shot in a nearby town. I switched channels the other day because one weather forecaster had the next day’s high temperature at 58, the other said it would be 62. I switched to the “62” channel. TV program-mers should take notice.I’m going to become less political in 2023. This will be another tough one, because I’m already fed up with both of our major parties. I’m already fed up with the types of candidates these parties produce for our highest office. I’m already fed up with the way the party (Or in some cases, the person holding the office.) is more important than us common folks they’re supposed to represent. So, I only have to become less fed up in 2023. That may be easy after all. Just follow the previous resolution.I’m going to write more drivel for Page 2 of the Enter-prise Record. Hey’ I’ve already got a head start on this one. This could be a good year, after all.Welcome to 2023, ya’ll.- Mike Barnhardt Make those resolutions attainable DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Jan. 5, 2023 - 3 Renegade ... This is handy for everybody, and especially for handi-capped people. We all benefit from sticky notes. It’s amazing to think of all the uses.In the last few years, the makers of gift wrap have start-ed printing parallel lines on the back of gift paper. What a great help this is! I can remember trying to cut neat lines to create a piece of paper with opposite sides the same length. It was a challenge. Plywood now has premarked lines to guide accurate cutting. Wonder which came first?Do you remember when you lugged a heavy suitcase around? I read a cryptic comment a few years ago: “We put a man on the moon before we put wheels on suitcas-es!” What took so long? I watch little children with big heavy backpacks weighing them down and wonder why they don’t have rolling containers for their many books.In the past couple of years, I have discovered cargo pants. Those side pockets on the legs are wonderful for phones, small wallets, and keys. I love seeing examples of multiple-use items such as couches that can become beds, vans with fold-down seats for camping, and the many inventions that save time and space. This is my list of special items. What is on your list? Editor’s Note: Follow-ing is the first in a serious about the mothers of our country’s Presidents, writ-ten by local Presidential scholar, Betty West. Betty Etchison WestFor the Enterprise People have asked me to write about the children of the Presidents of the United States. I don’t have enough information about those children to write about them, but I decided after looking at my books that I would write about the mothers of presidents of this country. There is often a good deal of information about the mother of a president in his autobiography or biog-raphy. There are complete books about a number of mothers of presidents, Rose Kennedy, for example. The plan is that this ar-ticle will be followed by others, but there are always questions about what a 90-year-old will get done.George Washington’s mother comes across as a person with whom it was difficult to deal. There seemed to be a rift between George and his mother. Nothing that George did seemed to please her, and one gets the idea from the information about her that George just handled the situation by avoiding her. George did build or buy his mother a house in Fred-ericksburg, Va. That house, at 1200 Charles St. , is open to visitors every day except Tuesday. Call 546-373-1569 for more information, In addition to disapprov-ing of most everything that George did, Mary Wash-ington often made frivo-lous demands. One story says that while George was fighting a battle when his mother sent word that she wanted him to get her some butter; that sure seems a pretty frivolous request. That request was no doubt ignored. George was embarrassed when his mother asked the Virginia House of Dele-gates for a pension. He got that request squashed. Mr. Washington seemed quite willing to give his mother what she needed—money or whatever, but it seemed that he never knew what she would be wanting/do-ing next. That is probably why George handled the situ-ation by having as little contact with his mother as possible. The docent at the Mary Washington House said that George and his mother got along better than some of the historians seem to indicate. That may be true because information about the relationship be-tween George Washington and his mother is hard to find. Mary Washington, the mother of George Washing-ton, died a few months after her son was inaugurated as President.There is not much in-formation available about the mother of the second President, John Adams. John’s mother’s name was Susanna Boylston, from a prominent New England family, but maybe illiterate because in the early 1700s it was believed that girls did not need an academic ed-ucation. They only needed to know how to manage a household and how to care for their children. Deacon Adams, the father of John Adams, was educated. He attended Harvard, which is the same school attended by his son. The reason that it is believed that Susanna Boylston Adams could not read is that historians noted in their writings that Dea- con John and his son read to Susanna. Even if she was illiterate, that lady evident-ly learned what she needed to know to raise a son who helped set up the govern-ment for the new nation, which became the United States of America, and then who became the second president of that nation.There is not a bit more known about the mother of the third President of the United States, Thomas Jef-ferson, than there is about the mother of the second. Jefferson’s mother, Jane Randolph, was born in En-gland in 1720. By 1725, the Randolph family had migrated to Virginia. It is believed that Jane was educated at home, proba-bly with the emphasis on managing a household and caring for a family, but she may also have received a rudimentary academic ed-ucation. In 1739, Jane Randolph married Peter Jefferson. Jane and Peter Jefferson had 10 children. Accord-ing to information avail-able, the Jeffersons lived a somewhat privileged life, but that may have changed when Jane’s husband, Pe-ter, died in 1757, when the couple had been married only 18 years. When her husband died, Jane was left with children ranging in age between 17 years and 22 months. She had learned the lessons about managing a family and household well because when her husband died she was left an estate, which included 2,750 acres of land and 66 slaves and also some hired laborers. She seemed to have han-dled both the plantation and her family well. Even though there was not much written by Thom-as Jefferson about his moth-er, he must have had great respect and love for her be-cause he lived at her home, Shadwell, until he moved to Monticello. The fact that there is no correspondence left between Thomas Jef-ferson and his mother re-ally does not mean much because there is not much remaining Jefferson corre-spondence left. It is believed that Jane Jefferson instilled in her son, Thomas, his love for the finer things of life, mu-sic, art, the written word, etc. Some historians be-lieve that Jane should also be credited for her son’s success as a statesman and his writing abilities. Jane was living at Monticello with Thomas Jefferson and his wife, Martha, when she died, and she is buried in the Monticello cemetery.Nelly Conway, the mother of the fourth Pres-iden, James Madison, was born at Belle Grove Plan-tation, in Port Conway, Va. to wealthy parents. In 1749 she married James Madi-son Sr., whose family also owned a large plantation. In 1751, James Madison Jr. was born. James and his parents lived with his Mad-ison grandparents. Histori-ans note that both of James Madison Jr.’s parents had significant influence over him. James’ education, whose first teacher was his moth-er, started early. He then had a Scottish teacher, named Donald Robertson, between the ages of 11 and 16. He studied mathemat-ics, geography, languages, particularly Latin. He had a teacher at Montpelier, Rev. Thomas Martin, to help prepare him to enter the College of New Jersey, now called Princeton. James Madison, Jr.’s mother made sure that James had every education-al opportunity available at that time. His education, which had started when he was quite young, continued throughout his life because he spent hours reading and studying even after he moved back to Montpelier, his plantation, after serving as President. Nelly Conway Madison, who had such considerable influence over her son, lived with James Jr. even after he married Dolley Payne Todd. While living under the same roof as her son, Nelly Madison main-tained her own household, including her own staff, kitchen and garden. The house, called Montpelier, where James and Dolley lived with his mother was/is a big house so Nelly Conway Madison was able to live under the same roof with her son and his wife and still maintain her own household. James Madi-son’s Mother died at Mont-pelier and is buried there at the Montpellier Family Cemetery beside her hus-band, James Madison, Sr.There is even less in-formation about Elizabeth Jones Monroe than there is about the mothers of the first four Presidents of the United States. Eliza-beth Jones, James Mon-roe’s mother, was born in 1730, and she married Spence Monroe in 1752. She died in 1774 when her son James Monroe was only 16. James’ father died two years later. James’ un-cle became his surrogate parent. Information about Monroe’s early life includ-ing his education is most non-existent. He was able to enter the College of William and Mary so he evidently went to school when he was young, but the details of his education are not available. James left school to join the fight against the British during the Revolutionary War. He later received help and education from Thom-as Jefferson, who remained his friend for life. Monroe’s parents are buried in Westmoreland County, Va. Even though little is known about James parents’ influence on their son, they must have exert-ed a great deal. A 2018 poll of historians ranked James Monroe as No. 18, quite a high rating. Reach your audience wherever they are: on desktops/laptops, tablets & smartphones.

Carolyn McManamy, Jane Simpson, Sandra Porter, Ashley O’Donnell, Dean Drescher, Dr. Susan Burleson, and Dr. Darrin Hartness discuss Ignite Davie College Promise. the need for education be-yond high school. “We’ve got to give our young people the chance to develop a skill, to get into the workplace so that they can be responsible adults and earn a decent living. “In today’s world, the workforce is key. Every-one is looking for workers, but they have to have cer-tain skills. Today, technol-ogy rules the world. These young folks grew up with technology and probably know it better than any-one. We want to hone their skills for jobs in technology, healthcare, and the trades. “Ignite Davie offers a gateway to higher educa-tion for students who might not be able to afford it. It’s also a wonderful tool for at-tracting young families and a younger workforce to our community. Moving to our community and knowing that your children can get two years of education paid for is a huge bonus.“The collaboration that made Ignite Davie possible demonstrates that econom-ic development is a team sport. It takes every player out there working together. No one person could have put this all together. All of us working together makes a huge difference,” Bralley said. Burleson shared the im-pact Ignite Davie’s had on the college. Before Ignite Davie, only about 8% of Davie High graduates at-tended DDCC. Now, three years into the program, that number has tripled. Although Ignite Davie is open to any student, Burle-son said the program par- ticularly targets the third of students who weren’t pursu-ing any type of post-second-ary education. “Ignite Davie frees them up to receive an education without the finan-cial burden, which is lead-ing to great results for our students.“Our community did this. This was a homegrown ef-fort from a lot of people with a lot of passion. We had a dream, and we went for it. I’m proud that we are creating bright futures for our students and employers. We are at a point where all students in Davie County will be able to take advan-tage of this opportunity in the future. Hopefully, this program will bring prosper-ity to these students, their families, and this commu-nity.” Dr. Darrin Hartness, pres-ident of Davidson-Davie Community College, ex-plained that the concept for Ignite Davie started in the fall of 2018 after a conver-sation with a visionary busi-ness leader, Zach Wright. “We knew that a lot of students in Davie County did not have a plan after high school, and we wanted to change that. We wanted to move the needle and change the conversation about college in this com-munity, knowing that we needed an educated work-force and jobs in the future would require some type of post-secondary attainment.“We looked at pro-grams across the country and decided we wanted to do something similar but unique to Davie County. We wanted to have a pro-gram where any student who graduated from high school, whether the public high school or homeschool, and regardless of their fam-ily’s financial status, could come to Davidson-Davie Community College for two years and not worry about tuition and fees,” Hartness said. “What we’ve seen with Ignite Davie is that finances are clearly an issue. There were students who didn’t think college was a possi-bility. Now more students, thanks to Ignite Davie, un-derstand that college can be a reality. They can choose college and choose to con-tinue their education after high school, and they can earn credentials, they can earn a degree, or they can earn transfer credits to a four-year school. The op-portunities are unlimited.“Ignite Davie has changed the conversation about post-secondary education in Da-vie County. When you talk to a counselor from Davie High, they will tell you that the conversation about col-lege has changed, not just two-year college or four-year college, but a conver-sation about learning a skill for a trade or skills that will help you get a better job for a better future. Those con-versations are now happen-ing in our middle schools and high school. “I am excited to see our students thrive, to see them reach their personal goals, their academic goals, and their career goals, and then ultimately to see them come back to live and work in our community and reinvest in the next generation,” he said.Ignite Davie has commit-ments of $2 million of the $3 million needed to endow the program.

Lt. Col. Terrence "Terry" Moyer, of Oleander Drive, Bermuda Run, passed away Dec. 29, 2022 at Trellis Supportive Care in Winston-Salem, NC. He was born Sept. 18, 1935, in Marysville, Perry County, Pa., to the late Ivan and Delilah Eppley Moyer. After graduating from Alleghany College in 1958, Terry joined the Air Force and served five years of active service as a B-52 Bomber pilot and retired from PA National Guard as a Lt. Col. He retired after 37 years of service from Ingersoll-Rand Compa-ny, Construction & Mining Group as Executive Vice President and Western Regional Manager. His years with Ingersoll-Rand allowed extensive travel to all of the continental US including Canada, Hawaii, and Alaska. In addition to his parents, his brother Keith Moyer, preceded him in death. He is survived by his loving wife, Shirley Boger Moyer. Ter-ry and Shirley had a loving 36 years of marriage. They enjoyed making friends as their journeys took them throughout the U.S. and Canada. Terry never met a stranger and will be missed by his numerous friends from his lifelong journey he leaves behind. “A good man!”Survivors include: his wife, Shirley Boger Moyer of the home; his children, Tracey (Rodney) of Philadelphia, Pa., Michael of New Orleans, La., Steve Russ (Patty), and Beth Russ, all of Mocksville; grandchildren, Kelsie Hatherlee, Kacie (Chris) Swiergiel, Kinley Hatherlee, and Tyler (Brittany) Russ; a very special cous-in, Cheryl (Ed) Briner of Marysville, Pa.; and several other cousins, nieces, and nephews.Terry valued every moment he was able to spend with his grandchildren. He provided many opportunities for them, especially sharing his love of Wake Forest Sports, making them forever Deacon Fans. Terry also had a lifetime love for the New York Yankees. Terry enjoyed all things sports. Terry always worked hard to stay healthy and in good physical condition. Terry enjoyed gardening and loved sharing his harvest with his many friends and neighbors, sometimes called the “mater man”. Terry’s granddaughters were blessed to have his guiding wisdom and positive influence on their lives. Time and paper do not allow for the expression of love he had for these girls and they have for him. The twinkle in Terry’s eye was for his granddaughter, Kinley, and she says “Terry will be the most handsome star in the night’s sky and the most handsome ray of sunshine in the sun.” She says Terry always told her to do the right things and “I’m watching you.” Granddaughter Kacie says, “there will always be an empty place in my heart without you here. I know you are looking after me.” He always told her, “Kacie, I expect more from you.” Grand-daughter Kelsie stated Terry always said “to get it done and be on time,” teaching her a great work ethic that I have been able to carry forward with me.” During Terry’s extended illness he worked extremely hard to get back on his feet and live a normal life. Every step of the way was his wife Shirley. The love they had for one another was not only visible during the good days but was especially evident during Terry’s illness. She was true to her vows of until death do us part. Forever she will be his Shirl.From the words of Elizabeth Ammons, “You can shed tears because they are gone, or you can smile because they lived. You can close your eyes and pray they will come back, or you can open your eyes and see all they left for you. Your heart can be empty because you can’t see them or you can be full of the love you shared. You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday, or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday. You can remember only that they are gone, or you can cherish their memory and let it live on. You can cry and close your mind and feel empty, or you can do what they would want. Smile, open your heart, love and go on.”A memorial service will be conducted at 11 a.m. Saturday, Jan. 7 at Eaton Funeral Chapel with Mr. Cade Carney and Mr. Ken Budd officiating. Inurnment will follow at Eatons Baptist Church Cemetery with military honors. The family will receive friends for one hour prior to the service at the funeral home.Family requests memorials be considered for Trellis Supportive Care 101 Hospice Lane, Winston-Salem, NC 27127; Davie County Foundation (Class of ‘63) 107 N.

Another year's already rolled around. Along with the New Year has come a han-kering to see new lands and taste different foods. For now, one resolution will be to patronize local restaurants I've not tried before – American and ethnic. By the end of February, as spring draws nearer, I'll be more than ready to get out of Dodge, so to speak. I'll have had my fill of winter – and be eager to fly due east as the crow flies. But for now, like a bear in hibernation, I'm keeping my feet on the ground – and taking rest. As nature wakes up, I think we'll all be roused and ready to take on some novel, di-verse experiences. The phrase "get out of dodge" refers to Dodge City, Kansas, the setting for the western series Gunsmoke. Like a rogue cowboy, when things heat up – I'll be ready to make a run for it – pronto.The navigational term "due" means precisely 90 degrees east from one point to another. That puts us somewhere close to Mo-rocco. Actually, any destination reached by a nonstop flight across the Atlantic would be favorable. The phrase "as the crow flies" means to move from one point to another in a straight line without deviation – the shortest distance. The saying reminds us that birds fly free-ly, whereas we have obstacles between us and where we're going. So it takes us longer to get there.That's how life can be – we encounter one obstacle after another. You conquer one and no sooner have you done so when confronted with another. But even as we walk through hard times, the Bible tells us God is with us. We face many trials and tribulations, but the Lord is always present – never leaving us. In the Bible, the Lord commands Joshua to lead the Israelites into a new, promised land. But first – they encounter a river that must be crossed. The Lord has prepared Joshua by saying, "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go." (Joshua 1:9 NIV) Remember that all this comes after people have wan-dered in a desert for 40 years. I can see how one might feel discouraged. But the Lord goes further, telling Joshua to "obey all the laws my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go. Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you maybe be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful." Scripture reassures us that faith and obedience to God bring victory. The prophet, Jeremiah, tells us that those who continue in their walk with the Lord will flourish and be fruitful. Jeremiah 17: 7-8 reads, "But blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him. He will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit." (NIV)As we enter another year, it's great to know we can move forward in our lives feeling confident – with renewed faith and in obedience to God. Be bold – and be blessed.

Ledford somehow came up with an inspiring run in front of their home fans after facing a 20-point deficit. But the War Eagles did not col-lapse in their lowest-scoring game of the season. They held on 50-46 to capture the Davidson-Randolph Christmas Classic on Dec. 29. Their record (11-2 with a six-game winning streak) in a rebuilding year is what coaches and high school kids dream about. “I’m proud of them,” Davie’s first-year coach, Josh Pittman, said. “We’re doing well, but we can’t rest and indulge too much in the moment. That’s why we had practice (the next afternoon) and we’ve got practice tomorrow morning at 9.”Hayden Williams, Jackson Powers and Burke Rosenbaum By Brian PittsEnterprise Record Coach Josh Pittman’s defensive strategies swallowed up Trini-ty’s main weapons, Hayden Wil-liams provided sensational outside shooting and Davie’s varsity boys basketball team handed Trinity a 64-38 thrashing in the semifinals of the Davidson-Randolph Christ-mas Classic at Ledford. The eight-team tournament was held at Ledford from Dec. 27-29. In the first half, the game looked bound for a tight finish. Davie led 28-26 at halftime in a struggle that saw nine lead changes and six ties. Davie, missing six of 12 free throws, had itself to blame for not having a larger lead. In third quarter, though, the Bulldogs did not hang around any longer. Davie erupted for an 11-2 run. Coleman Lawhon scored off a rebound. Then Jackson Powers and Williams hit three 3-pointers. Davie went 4 of 7 from the arc in the third, with Williams connect-ing on three of four tries. Everything clicked in a run that became pretty incredible as the Boys take Christmas Classic title Defensive strategy works in semi-finals Williams is MVP Please See Title - Page B4 second half moved on. Powers was trailing on the break and Lawhon threw it back to him, the 3-pointer falling. Powers pump faked a 3, the defender went in the air and Pow-ers drove for two. Davie milked substantial clock, moved the ball all around and Burke Rosenbaum spotted Williams open behind the 3-point line. Williams drained it. The offensive onslaught had reached 26-5, Davie’s lead grow-ing to 54-31. But the story of the game for Pittman was Davie’s defense against Dominic Payne and Dylan Hodges. Rosenbaum, Braddock Coleman and Ethan Ratledge did a tremendous job on Payne, a 6-2 junior who one day earlier surpassed 1,000 career points. But he was suffocated by Davie’s box-and-one, the mighty Payne finishing with nine points and one field goal. He went 7 of 10 at the free-throw line. “We put a box-and-one on Payne because he averages almost 30 a game, and I think he had a couple of 40-point games this year,” Pittman said. “So I figured Please See Strategy - Page B4 By Brian PittsEnterprise Record The Davie varsity girls basket-ball team’s time in ecstasy lasted five games and 13 days. The War Eagles played rock-solid defense against Led-ford in the Davidson-Randolph Christmas Classic championship game on Dec. 29, but their de-fense wasn’t enough to overcome 25-percent shooting. The result was a 46-37 loss to Ledford. The War Eagles came out on fire. Kenadi Gentry hit a 3-pointer. Peyton Spaugh hit two free throws. Malayka Rankin got a steal and hit a streaking Spaugh for a layup. When Somer Johnson nailed a 3, Davie had a stunning 10-0 lead against an opponent that was 10-1. The Panthers did not convert their first field goal until the 2:25 mark of the first quarter. But after the superb start, Davie missed five straight shots, went 0-4 at the foul line and only led 10-8 at the end of the first. Davie had a 23-21 lead at halftime, but it was unfulfilling because it missed seven of 11 free throws and could have had Led-ford in a larger hole.

Ledford closed the third quarter by hitting a halfcourt prayer at the buzzer, but Gentry hit a 3 to give Davie a 36-34 lead with 6:26 to go. Alas, that was the end for the War Eagles’ hopes. They hit a drought and scored one point in the last 6:26. It was full sputter as 13 straight shots refused to fall. By then, the Panthers had absorbed the early blow, figured things out and were playing like an 11-1 team. They scored 12 of the final 13 points. “They are an offensive team for sure,” coach Lindsey Adams said. “They have a lot of offensive threats. I told the girls we can’t let a team like that get hot. We did a good job of mixing up the defenses and kind of keeping them out of a rhythm.”But Davie (7-6) needed the shooting form from recent nights to go with the defense. It wasn’t there.

B2 ‑ DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Jan. 5, 2023 By Brian PittsEnterprise Record The Ellis girls basketball team is loving life right now. With six games remain-ing, the Jaguars (7-1) have already matched the most wins in the last nine years. (They won seven in 2016-17 and in 2018-19.) They need three victories to set a new program record. They notched their fourth triumph by 25-plus points when they hosted North Carolina Leadership Acad-emy on Dec. 12. Eight girls scored - Emmie Burris had 12, Olivia Smith 12, Gracyn Coleman six, Kayden Rich-ardson six, Madison Daugh-erty four, Olivia Rareshide two, Sydney Ward two and Zoe Summers two - as Ellis floored the Falcons 46-7. Smith, Richardson and Kate Nicholson pulled down six rebounds apiece. “All of the girls have learned a lot this first half of the season and it has been fun to watch them grow as a team,” coach Susan Jones said. “All of the girls played well and we encouraged them to use this game to Davie’s wrestling team entered the Newton-Con-over Duals on Dec. 29 with a shiny 8-1 record.

It was 18-16 at halftime, 23-20 after the third quarter. The Jaguars had the lead, but they did not have easy prey - not at that moment, anyway. “At halftime we remind-ed them that they needed to not only keep the defensive pressure up, but actually kick it up a notch,” Jones said. “The girls answered this challenge. Unfortu-nately, we struggled with our own shots. We needed to step up and make some buckets.”A sixth-grader, Cayleigh Love, and the Jags had a scoring explosion at the most opportune time. They boat-raced the Trojans 17-5 in the fourth to win going away, their sixth win by at least 15. Love, who entered the fray when Coleman picked up her fourth foul early in the fourth, had eight of the 17. Burris had five. “Cayleigh came in and gave us the spark we needed on both ends of the court,” Jones said. “Cayleigh’s defensive pressure on the ball, coupled with Madison pressuring off the ball, had the turnovers ramping up against Wesleyan, and we then went on an 11-0 run.”The four-guard lineup of Burris, Coleman, Daugherty and Love wreaked havoc defensively. “They combined for at least 13 steals and spear-headed our press,” Jones said. “This was critical be-cause we were outsized under the basket with Wes-leyan having two talented post players.“This was a big game with Wesleyan being one of the top four teams in the conference. It was a much-needed win to get us geared up for the second half of the season.”Burris finished with nine points and four rebounds. Smith had eight points and four rebounds. Love, who was averaging 2.1 points a game, came up with eight. Nicholson had five, Cole-man four, Richardson four and Daugherty two. “Kate’s inside presence kept Wesleyan from stray-ing too far from the paint,” Jones said. “Emmie contin-ued to be strong and consis-tent. Kayden had four points while battling severe shin splints and only playing a minimal number of minutes after the first quarter. This even distribution of scoring is what makes our team so difficult to defend.”ND 30, Canterbury 24North Davie found its groove when it mattered most and rallied past visiting Canterbury on Dec. 13. Avarie Martin and Mad-die Ratledge staked the Wildcats to a first-quarter lead, but they were in a little trouble entering the fourth quarter, the Cougars leading 21-18. “We talked at halftime about rebounding and play-ing more aggressively of-fensively and defensively,” coach Trish King said. “The game was still close at the end of the third, and I chal-lenged the girls to play the fourth quarter as if it was their last game ever.”They took the message to heart. Hayden Gavura, Britt Carrier, Ratledge and Alyssa Hinson delivered baskets as North buried Canterbury 12-3 in the final seven minutes. “Britt kicked it up a notch and everyone seemed to follow,” King said. “We just played more aggressively during the fourth quarter.” Ratledge finished with 10 points. Martin, who was averaging a team-best 13.6, was limited to six by foul trouble; she was whistled for her fifth with three minutes remaining. But North sur-vived because of Ratledge’s production and six points from Gavura and Carrier. Hinson had two. “Avarie sat most of the third in foul trouble,” King said. “I was really proud of how the girls rallied and believed in each other in the end. Having Avarie out could have really hurt us, but the girls hung tight and finished with confidence.”Summit 38, ND 34Martin’s outing on the road on Dec. 15 won’t be forgotten anytime soon - even though it came in de-feat. She hit 8 of 12 free throws and scored the most points by a Wildcat since Nadelie Jones’ 28 in a 44-40 loss to Ellis in January of 2020. Somehow the Eagles withstood Martin’s 28-point barrage, five more than she had in a game earlier in the season. If it wasn’t for that in-dividual explosion, North would have been blown out. Martin had 11 of North’s 13 in the second quarter and 10 of its 12 in the fourth. Just think what she might have done if it weren’t for two first-half fouls. “She sat most of the first and second quarters with two fouls, but came on strong when I put her back in near the end of the second quarter,” King said. “Most of her points came from drives to the basket. We have an out-of-bounds play set up for her under the basket, and six of her points came from that play. She has great range and can knock down a 3-pointer in a heartbeat. One of her biggest assets is her jump shots. I was happy Avarie got to showcase her talent against Summit’s best play-er (Lila Kelly), who I think could play for anyone’s high school varsity team.”North’s other six points came from Carrier (four) and Hinson (two). It had won three of four and two straight before slipping to 4-3. “They are undefeated in our conference, so I was really proud of my girls for hanging tight with them,” King said. “(Landry Par-sons and Audrina Bledsoe played) great defense. Their presence is felt on the court and vital to our success as a team.”Notes: After winning two in a row, South Davie lost 48-36 at home to Summit on Dec. 12. The Tigers (2-6) fell 29-23 to visiting Phoe-nix Academy on Dec. 15. which tells you everything you need to know about the ultra-talented Red Devils. They overwhelmed Davie 57-12. Davie’s only winners were Hire (pin at 132), Testa (decision at 195) and Strick-land (decision at 285). Davie claimed six weight classes in its next two matches. It needed one of two more in both.

Notice given this 31st day of December, 2022. Lynn Trivette Town Clerk DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Jan. 5, 2023 ‑ B3 So, what about a crappie for the New Year? Those are words that don’t necessarily go togeth-er for a lot of fishermen, and that’s a shame, because the serious anglers among us have learned that there are crappie to be caught at times other than the tradi-tional springtime “when the dogwoods are blooming” mantra.Crappie have become a year-round target for a lot of fishermen, once the mys-tery of how to catch them in places besides shallow water was unlocked.Ed Duke of Concord, a former crappie tournament director and now a man-ufacturer of crappie-fish-ing tackle, has understood for years that crappie are a great fish to target year-round, and especially when the weather is cold. You just have to break with the idea that crappie are meant to be caught along the bank.“Right now, crappie are beginning to leave the brush piles and getting into their winter patterns,” said Duke (www.southerncrap-pierods.com). “Once the winter solstice arrives and the days start getting lon-ger, crappie will start mov-ing out to deep water, in the river channels.“They’ll stay in the riv-er channels and stage up at the mouth of creeks, and they’ll stay right there until spring. We’ve been catch-ing them there for three weeks. They may go up and down the creeks as weather fronts come through, and they’ll move up and down. They’re usually around 20 feet deep, but any real warm day with plenty of sunshine, they might move up to within 2 or 3 feet of the surface.” Duke and Chris Bull-ock of Townsville, who operates Kerr Crappie and Cats Guide Service on Kerr Reservoir on the North Carolina-Virginia border (aka Buggs Island Lake), both said that fishermen can idle around the mouth of creeks, using their depth finders to search for little pods of fish that will stick together all winter. Then, they approach those fish in different fashions.When he’s fishing for crappie, Duke’s boat will look from above like a spider, with multiple rods sticking out around his bow or stern, sometimes as many as a dozen. He keeps his boat on the move, either dragging mini-jigs and tiny soft-plastic lures well behind his boat or dropping them down on weights around the bow. Veteran fishermen call the techniques “pushing” or “pulling” – Duke calls them “tight-lining” and “long-lining.”He’ll long-line behind his boat, pulling a spread of jigs, while he’s looking for fish on his depth finders. If he finds them and thinks he can stay on them – maybe they’re relating to a deep rock pile or some piece of structure they’re using as a spot to ambush passing baitfish – he’ll move his rods to the bow and fish straight down to the fish.“Once you get in an area that’s holding fish, you’ll find several groups of crap-pie. I look for different groups of fish and move between them,” Duke said. “I’ll tight-line when I can see a school of fish on my sonar, because I can stay on them longer. ”Bullock rarely fishes more than a single rod at a time. He’ll idle around until he finds fish, then target the spot where they’re holding and cast directly to them with a jig, a tiny jigging spoon or a live minnow.“At Kerr, it seems like we have two kinds of crap-pie,” said Bullock (252-902-4039). “One kind is going to find those but-terbean (threadfin) shad back up in the creeks and set up and stay back there until spring. The other will winter in the river channel around deep brush, stumps and rock piles.“The LiveScope (depth finder) has changed the game, because you can find crappie around brush or stumps and drop a jig on a spinning rod down to the depth of the school and watch their reaction,” Bull-ock said. “If they’re feed-ing, you can catch them. If they’re not hitting a jig, you can tie on a split shot and a hook and drop a live min-now in front of them.“The deep-water crap- pie will stay in those places until the water tempera-ture begins to rise, usually in February. Then, they’ll start moving back in the creeks. A lot of fishermen miss the first big spawn – when the biggest fish move in to spawn, because of that old saying that the crappie spawn when the dogwoods are blooming. That’s wrong. If you have the right moon and the water is 52 to 55 degrees, those big fish are going to move in and spawn.” Sonar shows an un- derwater bush and the fish surrounding it.

United States Army WWII - Sept. 1942-Oct. 1945 Wounded in Action B4 - DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Jan. 5, 2023 Continued From Page B1together converted four of five 3-point shots in the opening minutes. Coleman Lawhon assisted three of the four. The orange-and-black fans on hand sniffed a rout at 14-6. But Davie cooled off and Ledford, playing on its home court, crawled back in it. Davie missed its last sev-en shots in the first quarter and led just 14-12. The War Eagles took a nice 27-16 lead to halftime, but it wasn’t because they were playing great on the offensive end. They missed 11 consecutive 3s, missed 17 of their final 22 shots and left the door open for the other team. “Ledford is a hard place to win,” Pittman said. “If you’re up 20, you need to go up 30 because they’re not going to stop. When I was at Lexington, we played at Ledford six or seven times, so I know from personal experience.”Davie caught another groove at the outset of the third. Rosenbaum, Williams and Ethan Ratledge com-bined to make 4 of 6 triples. Again, Lawhon was the one setting them up as he assist-ed all four of the bombs. The 14-5 run gave Davie a 41-21 lead with 3:29 remaining in the third. Davie had delivered the knockout blow, right? Wrong. Just when you think Davie had sucked the life out of the Panthers, they staged a major rally. They made 10 of 15 shots during a span of 11 minutes. (Davie was shooting 3 of 13 during this time.) They banged home five 3-pointers. Their 25-7 run produced a jarring change in momentum. Da-vie’s lead had been chopped to 48-46 with :36 to go. What changed? “I felt like there was a lot of stuff not being called when they were making that run, but I put a lot of that on us, too, learning how to finish that game without thinking it was over before it was actually over,” Pittman Title ... Continued From Page B1 we had to take him out of the game. We went with Burke or Braddock and we threw Ethan in there a little bit as well to keep fresh bod-ies on him and disrupt his flow because he’s a smooth player. I wanted to give him different looks. Ethan is physical, Burke is smart and Braddock is like a little dog. He’s a little pit bull who is going to get under your skin and bother you. All of them stepped up and did a great job.”But the Bulldogs were able to trade punches in the first half because Hodges was great in the first 16 minutes. The 6-1 senior hit three triples and scored 17 of Trinity’s 26 points in the first half. Pittman pulled out his drawing board at half-time and ordered a trian-gle-and-two. Williams drew Hodges and wore him down. He had two points in the second half. “(Hodges) could do a little bit of everything,” Pit-tman said. “He could drive. He’s athletic. So at halftime I decided we needed to go triangle-and-two. Hayden had No. 11 and Gavin (Re-ese) played defense on (Hodges and Payne) a little bit. We used several people on them because I noticed they only played five kids.”Besides playing shut-down defense in the second half, Williams was the of-fensive heartbeat. He scored 20 points by hitting six of 14 3-pointers. He grabbed seven rebounds. He hit the 20-point mark for the third time, and he nailed six tri-ples in a game for the third time. “That’s him putting in the individual work, coming to workouts and being shot-ready that we preach about all the time,” Pittman said. “When you’re shot-ready, all you have to do is catch and shoot. I want Ethan to be more aggressive with his shot because he has a pretty shot.” Strategy ... said. “During that time, we missed two or three - maybe more - layups. We had some bad timing on certain shots and a couple of turnovers.”Ironically, the Panthers’ low foul count actually hurt them in the final 36 seconds. They only had three fouls in the half, meaning they had to foul Davie four times. That took 14 seconds off the clock. Ledford (7-5) sent Williams to the line with seven seconds remaining. Undaunted by the pres-sure, Williams made both ends of the one-and-one to make it 50-46. Ledford made Davie sweat, but Wil-liams made everything okay in the end. “I like how we stayed composed, hit free throws when it counted and got a good stop at the end,” Pit-tman said. “Now it’s about us learning from this and getting better offensively with our spacing.”Davie prevailed on a night when two of its top scorers - Powers and Law-hon - combined for 12 points. Rosenbaum, who recently climbed into the starting lineup, was a dif-ference-maker with a sea-son-high 11 points, three 3-pointers, three rebounds and two assists. Williams also hit three 3s to score 11. Davie didn’t get monster production from anyone, but teamwork was the key. Ratledge had 10 points, 5 rebounds and 3 steals. Pow-ers had 7 points. Lawhon had 5 points and 8 assists. Ian Koontz had 4 points and 6 rebounds. Braddock Coleman had 2 points and 3 assists. “That’s what we want. We want team basketball,” Pittman said. Williams took home the tournament MVP award, and Powers made the all-tourna-ment team. Pittman, though, was disappointed that Law-hon didn’t make it. “I thought Coleman should have been on there,” he said. “They put two guys from Trinity on there, which I didn’t quite understand.” Powers was lethal out-side, going 4 of 7 from long range to score 14 points. He also had seven rebounds. Lawhon had another won-derful all-around game (12 points, 8 assists, 6 rebounds, 3 steals). Rosenbaum scored six by going 6-6 at the line, and he also had four re-bounds and two assists. Ian Koontz had four points. Ratledge contributed four points, seven boards and two assists despite fouling out with 7:05 left. Coleman had three points and Reese one. “Last week we had big Owen McCormack (of Presbyterian) come in,” Pittman said. “We had Will (Tibbs, assistant coach) playing with the guys and we worked on making the extra pass. We also put in a different motion offense to help us move the ball from side to side, penetrate and kick, find that (open) guy and be a more complete team on offense. When we play unselfish, I just know at some point that rim is going to open up and we’re going to get great looks. When we were patient and moved the ball, we always got a good look.”Notes: Davie’s five-game winning streak is the longest since a 13-gamer in 2018-19. ... Davie improved to 10-2, while Trinity suffered just its third loss in 14 games. “They were 10-2 and had some good wins,” Pittman said. “I knew they were good, but they may have underestimated us.” ... The tournament field included West Davidson, Uwharrie Charter, Lexington, East Davidson and Ledford. ... While Davie spent three days at Ledford, Catawba College was hosting the 50th Sam Moir Christmas Classic. The Moir has tra-ditionally had eight teams, but this year it was down to five as Davie, Salisbury and Kannapolis decided to go elsewhere. Davie played in the Moir from 1972-2021. Davie 69, Wheatmore 48As you would expect, Davie completely dominat- ed a Wheatmore team that fell to 4-6 in the first round on Dec. 27. Baskets by Lawhon, Powers and Rosenbaum helped Davie build an 18-7 lead in the first quarter. Lawhon and Coleman were the go-to guys in the second quarter, when the margin widened to 42-17. At intermission, Lawhon was on pace for 36 points; he settled for 18 as Pittman called off the dogs. Powers was second for Davie with 16. Ratledge had 11, Coleman 9, Rosenbaum 6, Williams 5, Reese 2 and Landon Waller 2. Ian Koontz (20) and Ethan Ratledge (23) go up for a block. Gavin Reese goes on a fast break.

DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Jan. 5, 2023 - B5 By Brian PittsDavie Enterprise Record The pain of six straight losing seasons, of losing five of six games between Nov. 23-Dec. 13, seemed to belong to another decade when the Davie varsity girls basketball team put together its longest winning streak in eight seasons during the Da-vidson-Randolph Christmas Classic at Ledford. In the first round on Dec. 27, the War Eagles cruised to a 50-39 win over Wheat-more. In the semifinals on Dec. 28, they overmatched a Trinity team that came in with nine victories, the 69-31 trouncing giving Davie five consecutive wins for the first time since an eight-game run in 2014-15. Somer Johnson and Da-vie got off to a sensational start against the Bulldogs (9-5). They charged to a 20-1 lead by getting points from five players - John-son, Keelyn Oakes, Malay-ka Rankin, Kenadi Gentry and Peyton Spaugh. Trinity didn’t make its first field goal until 35 seconds re-mained in the first quarter. The 38-12 halftime lead had mostly to do with Johnson’s hot hand. She buried five of her first seven shots and had 13 points at the break. “We had a lot of good looks offensively,” coach Lindsey Adams said. “We were patient. We took the shots they gave us, whether it was the drive or the kick (to an open shooter).”How good was Davie’s ball movement? Eleven of its 15 field goals in the first half were assisted. The defense was equally im-pressive. “We put it all together and I was very proud of how we performed,” Adams said as Davie pushed its record to 7-5 and advanced to the championship game. “In our conference, we’re used to people fullcourt pressuring us, so we expect it. Teams that we’ve been playing recently are not used to fullcourt pressure.”Growing in confidence from top to bottom, Davie produced four double-figure scorers: Johnson (13 points, 4 rebounds), Gentry (12 points, 4 steals, 4 assists, 4 rebounds), Spaugh (10 points, 6 steals, 5 rebounds) Continued From Page B1(62) during its five-game winning streak. On top of that, Rankin and Lauren Colamarino both fouled out. “And then we didn’t re-ally have an inside presence after that,” Adams said. “And we couldn’t figure out how to score against their 1-3-1. That was a big Cold ... Girls enjoy longest win streak in 8 years and Bailey Aderhold (10 points, 3-3 FGs, 3-4 FTs, 4 rebounds). All eight players had at least four points, in-cluding Rankin (8 points, 7 rebounds, 4 steals), Sydney Dirks (7 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists), Oakes (5 points, 4 assists, 3 rebounds) and Kaylee Lynch (4 points, 5 rebounds). Davie shot 41 percent from the field (26-62). “We have a lot of scoring threats on our team,” Adams said. “They don’t know who’s going to be hitting 3s. Is it going to be Bailey com-ing off the bench? Kenadi? Somer? Who’s attacking the basket? I think we’re going to be hard to defend the more we play together.”•••The first round saw the inevitable destruction of Wheatmore, which fell to 1-8. The Warriors nev-er seriously threatened even though Davie was sleep-walking in the morn-ing game. “It was a very, very slow start for us,” Adams said. “It was 9:30 in the morning. But we got the win.”Davie’s points came from Gentry (10), Spaugh (9), Johnson (9), Aderhold (8), Oakes (7) and Rankin (7). Notes: Davie was with-out starting center Lauren Colamarino in both games. She was nursing two sore ankles. ... The eight-team Davidson-Randolph tour-nament included West Da-vidson, Uwharrie Charter, Lexington, East Davidson and Ledford. ... While Davie spent three days at Ledford, Catawba College was hosting the 50th Sam Moir Christmas Classic.

Another shining moment came in the individual medley, where he finished fourth out of 31. He went 2:02.12 to break the record that was held by Nick Sinopoli, who turned in 2:03.48 in 2015. Assistant coach Tak Hi-rata marveled at the beating heart of Davie swimming. “He is selfless and would always put the team’s needs ahead of his individual goals, but we knew he is capable of breaking a re-cord or two,” Hirata said. “We are so excited that he was able to achieve this accomplishment because it means so much to him. We’re just fortunate to have him on our team and that he is sharing his journey with us. Much of his success we need to give credit to his club team (Tyde) coaches - Bob, George and Richard. I have spoken with them and shared the news, and they were absolutely ecstatic for him. The swim community is a tight-knit group that cheer for all the swimmers’ success regardless of the team they swim for, and we absolutely love that about this community.”Several War Eagles stepped things up a notch while facing formidable competition. Aiden Davis was ninth of 51 in the 100 backstroke at 58.27. Davis, Logan Zu-leger, Harris and Bryce Harnsberger were 10th of 28 in the 200 medley relay at 1:48.65. The same foursome was 10th of 31 in the 200 free relay at 1:36.24. Davis was 11th of 31 in the 200 free at 2:01.94. “Aiden continues to im-press and knock on indi-vidual regional qualifying times,” White said. For the Davie girls, Lo-gan White was 11th of 52 in the 100 breast at 1:15.95. Elliot Newsome was 12th of 32 in the butterfly at 1:08.29. Amber McCullough, White, Newsome and Kate Sakai were 15th of 27 in the 200 medley relay at 2:11.56. Those same girls were 18th History ... of 28 in the 200 free relay at 2:00.50. There’s a lot to build on for a program that appears to be ascending. “Like Aiden, Logan took advantage of a fast pool and had a personal-best time in the breaststroke,” White said. “Elliot also had a great day, and like Lo-gan is an athlete that hates losing more than she loves winning. “Overall this invitational proved to be another great meet for the War Eagles. The Sawyer is a great meet for our kids to see how they measure up to a couple dozen other schools that we could see again in regionals. We enjoy attending this meet for the competition and the venue. The GAC is a state-of-the-art facility that most folks only see at the Olympics.”The Davie boys finished 10th out of 21 teams.

Default having been made of the note thereby secured by the said Deed of Trust and the undersigned, having been substi-tuted as Trustee in said Deed of Trust, and the holder of the note evidencing said default having directed that the Deed of Trust be foreclosed, the undersigned Sub-stitute Trustee will offer for sale at the courthouse door of the county courthouse where the property is located, or the usual and custom-ary location at the county court-house for conducting the sale on January 19, 2023 at 11:00 AM, and will sell to the highest bidder for cash the following described property situated in Davie Coun-ty, North Carolina, to wit: Being known and designated as Lot No. 12 of Farmland Acres, Section 2, as set forth in Plat Book 5, Page 41, Davie County Registry, to which reference is hereby made for a more particular description. Subject to Restrictive Covenants in DB 104, PG 889, Davie Coun-ty Registry, and any other ease-ments and restrictions of record. For back title, see DB 941, PG 335 and DB 923, PG 431, Davie Coun-ty Registry. See also Tax Map H-5, PCL 211 located in Mocksville Township, Davie County, North Carolina.

A cash deposit (no per-sonal checks) of five percent (5%) of the purchase price, or Seven Hundred Fifty Dollars ($750.00), whichever is greater, payable to Bell Carrington Price & Gregg, PLLC, will be required at the time of the sale. Following the expi-ration of the statutory upset bid period, all the remaining amounts are immediately due and owing. Pursuant to N.C. Gen. Stat. § 45-21.30, if the highest bidder at the sale, resale, or any upset bidder fails to comply with its bid upon the tender of a deed for the real prop-erty, or after a bona fide attempt to tender such a deed, the clerk of superior court may, upon motion, enter an order authorizing a resale of the real property. The defaulting bidder at any sale or resale or any defaulting upset bidder is liable for the bid made, and in case a resale is had because of such default, shall remain liable to the extent that the final sale price is less than the bid plus all the costs of any resale. Any deposit or compli-ance bond made by the defaulting bidder shall secure payment of the amount, if any, for which the defaulting bidder remains liable under N.C. Gen. Stat. § 45-21.30. Third party purchasers must pay the excise tax and THE RE-CORDING COSTS FOR THEIR DEED. Said property to be offered pursuant to this Notice of Sale is being offered for sale, transfer and conveyance “AS IS WHERE IS.” There are no representations of warranty relating to the title or any physical, environmental, health or safety conditions existing in, on, at, or relating to the property be-ing offered for sale. This sale is made subject to all prior liens, un-paid taxes, any unpaid land trans-fer taxes, special assessments, easements, rights of way, deeds of release, and any other encum-brances or exceptions of record. To the best of the knowledge and belief of the undersigned, the cur-rent owner(s) of the property is/are Joe K. Loy and Sandra Loy. An Order for possession of the property may be issued pursuant to N.C. Gen. Stat. § 45-21.29, in favor of the purchaser and against the party or parties by the clerk of superior court of the county in which the property is sold. Any person who occupies the proper-ty pursuant to a rental agreement entered into or renewed on or after October 1, 2007, may, after receiving the notice of sale, termi-nate the rental agreement by pro-viding written notice of termination to the landlord, to be effective on a date stated in the notice that is at least 10 days, but no more than 90 days, after the sale date contained in the notice of sale, provided that the mortgagor has not cured the default at the time the tenant provides the notice of termination. The notice shall also state that upon termination of a rental agreement, the tenant is li-able for rent due under the rental agreement prorated to the effec-tive date of the termination [N.C. Gen. Stat. § 45-21.16(b)(2)]. Upon termination of a rental agreement, the tenant is liable for rent due un-der the rental agreement prorated to the effective date of the termi-nation. If the trustee is unable to convey title to this property for any reason, the sole remedy of the purchaser is the return of the deposit. Reasons of such inability to convey include, but are not lim-ited to, the filing of a bankruptcy petition prior to the confirmation of the sale and reinstatement of the loan without the knowledge of the trustee. If the validity of the sale is challenged by any party, the trustee, in their sole discretion, if they believe the challenge to have merit, may request the court to declare the sale to be void and return the deposit. The purchas-er will have no further remedy.

Default having been made of the note thereby secured by the said Deed of Trust and the undersigned, having been substi-tuted as Trustee in said Deed of Trust, and the holder of the note evidencing said default having directed that the Deed of Trust be foreclosed, the undersigned Sub-stitute Trustee will offer for sale at the courthouse door of the county courthouse where the property is located, or the usual and custom-ary location at the county court-house for conducting the sale on January 19, 2023 at 11:00 AM, and will sell to the highest bidder for cash the following described property situated in Davie Coun-ty, North Carolina, to wit: Being known and designated as Lot No. 12 of Farmland Acres, Section 2, as set forth in Plat Book 5, Page 41, Davie County Registry, to which reference is hereby made for a more particular description. Subject to Restrictive Covenants in DB 104, PG 889, Davie Coun-ty Registry, and any other ease-ments and restrictions of record. For back title, see DB 941, PG 335 and DB 923, PG 431, Davie Coun-ty Registry. See also Tax Map H-5, PCL 211 located in Mocksville Township, Davie County, North Carolina. Save and except any re-leases, deeds of release or prior conveyances of record. Said prop-erty is commonly known as 269 Farmland Road, Mocksville, NC 27028. A cash deposit (no per-sonal checks) of five percent (5%) of the purchase price, or Seven Hundred Fifty Dollars ($750.00), whichever is greater, payable to Bell Carrington Price & Gregg, PLLC, will be required at the time of the sale. Following the expi-ration of the statutory upset bid period, all the remaining amounts are immediately due and owing. Pursuant to N.C. Gen. Stat. § 45-21.30, if the highest bidder at the sale, resale, or any upset bidder fails to comply with its bid upon the tender of a deed for the real prop-erty, or after a bona fide attempt to tender such a deed, the clerk of superior court may, upon motion, enter an order authorizing a resale of the real property. The defaulting bidder at any sale or resale or any defaulting upset bidder is liable for the bid made, and in case a resale is had because of such default, shall remain liable to the extent that the final sale price is less than the bid plus all the costs of any resale. Any deposit or compli-ance bond made by the defaulting bidder shall secure payment of the amount, if any, for which the defaulting bidder remains liable under N.C. Gen. Stat. § 45-21.30. Third party purchasers must pay the excise tax and THE RE-CORDING COSTS FOR THEIR DEED. Said property to be offered pursuant to this Notice of Sale is being offered for sale, transfer and conveyance “AS IS WHERE IS.” There are no representations of warranty relating to the title or any physical, environmental, health or safety conditions existing in, on, at, or relating to the property be-ing offered for sale. This sale is made subject to all prior liens, un-paid taxes, any unpaid land trans-fer taxes, special assessments, easements, rights of way, deeds of release, and any other encum-brances or exceptions of record. To the best of the knowledge and belief of the undersigned, the cur-rent owner(s) of the property is/are Joe K. Loy and Sandra Loy. An Order for possession of the property may be issued pursuant to N.C. Gen. Stat. § 45-21.29, in favor of the purchaser and against the party or parties by the clerk of superior court of the county in which the property is sold. Any person who occupies the proper-ty pursuant to a rental agreement entered into or renewed on or after October 1, 2007, may, after receiving the notice of sale, termi-nate the rental agreement by pro-viding written notice of termination to the landlord, to be effective on a date stated in the notice that is at least 10 days, but no more than 90 days, after the sale date contained in the notice of sale, provided that the mortgagor has not cured the default at the time the tenant provides the notice of termination. The notice shall also state that upon termination of a rental agreement, the tenant is li-able for rent due under the rental agreement prorated to the effec-tive date of the termination [N.C. Gen. Stat. § 45-21.16(b)(2)]. Upon termination of a rental agreement, the tenant is liable for rent due un-der the rental agreement prorated to the effective date of the termi-nation. If the trustee is unable to convey title to this property for any reason, the sole remedy of the purchaser is the return of the deposit. Reasons of such inability to convey include, but are not lim-ited to, the filing of a bankruptcy petition prior to the confirmation of the sale and reinstatement of the loan without the knowledge of the trustee. If the validity of the sale is challenged by any party, the trustee, in their sole discretion, if they believe the challenge to have merit, may request the court to declare the sale to be void and return the deposit. The purchas-er will have no further remedy.

One of three children, he was born in West Virginia to the late Clark and Elsie Dunn Young.In 1958 he joined the U.S. Army and served honorably in Korea and stateside as a recon helicopter repairman until 1962, continued his military career in the West Virginia Army National Guard, and upon moving to North Carolina was a leader in helicopter maintenance for the NC Army National Guard Aviation community. In 1973, he began serving as the full-time maintenance supervisor at Army Aviation Facility #2 and retired in 1998 as CW4.After moving to North Carolina, Clark and his wife Connie made their home on Davie Academy Road for many years and reared their three daughters. The family attended Society Baptist. He continued to support Ameri- can Legion and NC Nation-al Guard Association. He loved gardening, deer hunt-ing and spending time with family.A service celebrating his life was held last Saturday, Dec.17 at Society Baptist, where he was a faithful member. He was laid to rest with full military honors in the church cemetery beside his beloved Connie, who died February 2017.Our community sends get-well wishes to Carol H. Johnson and Vanessa Lundy. Carol had shoulder surgery Friday and is recu-perating at home. Vanessa was hospitalized with pneu-monia and is recuperating at home.
