However, a new project being launched this month in Da-vie County called People Not Property, NC’s Enslaved Persons Project, will allow us to do just that.Pre-Civil War records, such as the federal census, often doc-umented slaves by gender and age only without the dignity of being named. This has proved particularly frustrating to genea-logical research among the enslaved’s descendants. This project seeks to uncover names of slaves from other sources and then add them to the records. It is a brilliant new solution to an old issue.Davie Register of Deeds Kelly Funderburk has initiated this grassroots research project locally that began at UNCG, work-ing with the State Archives and local registers offices and now spreading across North Carolina communities, recruiting vol-unteers to find the names of the enslaved in documents like slave bills of sale. These names will then be entered into the da-tabase and begin to fill in the gaps of our collective knowledge. The Davie County Public Library and its Martin-Wall Histo-ry Room is assisting in this project by making available its re-sources, such as an 1863 original slave taxation record, copies of wills that named slaves being inherited and personal mem-oirs of slave descendants as well as families that owned slaves.The official launch of the project will be on Feb. 23 at 7 p.m. in the multi-purpose room of the library, sponsored by the Davie County Historical and Genealogical Society. Funderburk will speak about the project and introduce the roles volunteers can sign up to do – searching, researching and indexing. Any-one interested is invited to come learn more and be in on the ground floor of this historical project. This is the beginning of an ongoing work that could make a significant contribution to local history.Volunteers will be provided the necessary tools and training, including how to decipher the writing in old documents. More information and volunteer forms are available at the register’s office and the library.So, if you have always dreamed of being a history sleuth, dust off your Indiana Jones hat and join neighbors in rewriting history. Project to help rewrite history By Mike BarnhardtEnterprise Record Three people were taken into custody on Monday, ac-cused of shooting two others during a robbery attempt on Jan. 15.A juvenile was among those taken into custody.The arrests were a result of “good, old fashioned detective work,” said Davie Sheriff J.D. Hartman.The Jan. 15 shooting at the residence of John David Keller in the Deer Run mobile home park off US 64 East in Mocks-ville appears to be a simple robbery attempt, not a retalia-tion from Keller’s alleged road rage incident, Hartman said.“It turns out it had nothing to do with it, not at all relat-ed to the road rage,” Hartman said.Beginning before day-light on Monday, sheriff’s detectives and deputies be-gan rounding up suspects and conducting searches: at resi-dences on North Hiddenbrook Drive, Advance, and on Rain-bow Road, Advance. A third search warrant was executed at a residence on Sanford Ave., Mocksville, at about noon.Each charged with two counts of attempted murder, one count of armed robbery with a dangerous weapon and one count of burglary were:• Peter Ilya Bland, 19, of N.

The look on her face revealed she knew that Porter Spann, Olivia Rareshide and Addyson Adkins are the final three contestants, waiting on the next word at the Davie County Schools’ annual spelling bee last week. - Photos by Mike Barnhardt Olivia Rareshide and Porter Spann ponder their circum- stances as school officials work to get a new set of words for the final contestants. Third time a charm? 3-time county spelling champ hopes to improve in region word.Porter asked facilitator Dr. Danny Cartner every question he could: if there is an alterna-tive pronunciation, to have it used in a sentence, the defini-tion, etc.He misspelled the word.Olivia did not.But in a spelling bee and there’s only two contestants left, the winner must spell the word missed by the other con-testant, and then spell another word to be declared the winner.Olivia had trouble with “ramifications,” and Porter went on to spell “lackneed” for the win.After the bee, Porter ad-mitted he didn’t remember Please See Bee - Page 5 By Mike BarnhardtEnterprise Record County commissioner Mark Jones knows.Response time in a medical emergency is important.“This group of unbelievable men and women have saved my life, and I will be forev-er thankful,” he said, while looking at members of the Da- Work starts on new EMS station vie EMS staff on hand for the groundbreaking of the county’s newest EMS station last week.“Response time means something,” Jones said. “This is where the rubber meets the road.”The new station is being built in the Bixby community, at Cornatzer and Howardtown roads.

We will be able to reach our citizens in a more timely manner.”Ashburn, who was named to the job in November, said he hopes to continue the EMS excellence in Davie County set by his predecessors, who laid the foundation.

Not only are the town’s five commissioners elected by our citizens to be trustees of the town, they take an oath of office to support our established ordinances and laws. It is their duty to know our local Zoning Ordinance, and to administer the ordinance fairly based on its regulations rather than their own personal feelings. However, the current board chose instead to totally dis-regard these regulations. As a result, the commissioners have now set a new legal precedent allowing commercial business spot-zoning in es- tablished residential-zoned neighborhoods. Their decision at this meeting now makes it possible for anyone to request approval to establish and operate a business of any type or size in any residential neighborhood and use this Feb. 7 de-cision to support approval of that request. It also allows for total disregard of how larger, more intrusive commercial business operations will affect the value of the surrounding residential property. Had the commissioners followed the zoning ordinances in place as they should have, this would not have happened.Shame on you, town commissioners; shame on all five of you.Richard SchoolerMocksville Shame on town board members To the editor:Weather of the past week has raised my spirits signifi-cantly. Perhaps it is wrong to say this, after all it cannot be well that such heat comes in February, but I feel par-ticularly blessed to have warmth come on the week of my birthday. I took full advantage of the fine weather and rode my bike vivaciously. To that end, I believe our attitudes about both the weather and bike riding are worth address-ing and perhaps working to change.February is nearing the end of winter but it certainly does not feel that way. I hate the cold. I am unsettled by the feeling of it boring through the layers of my clothes. Conversely, I adore warmth and even intense heat. Breaking a sweat barely makes me, so to say, break a sweat. This is the “attitude” I wrote about before. This at-titude can be pessimistic and it has taken away the joy I felt from snow days as a child. I have found a method to combat this negative viewpoint and I would like to share it. This method is to view the weather and the conditions they bring as friends. Let me explain: the frigid gale of winter is the kind of friend who tells a dry joke when you first meet that you have to awk- wardly say in response “Sorry, I didn’t get it”. Summer’s scorching heat is like a friend who goes to shake your hand at first meeting and then hugs you for a little too long. Both are true friends who lead to good times with you but both can be impersonable in unique ways.Writing poetically of the weather is good fun but I fun-damentally believe the best way to enjoy the weather is to ride a bike in it. In my experience, our town is lacking in easy and accessible ways to do this. Besides Rich Park, with it’s steep hills and often occu-pied trails, where can people of any age ride bikes? With unclear or often outright unfriendly signage, the only plac-es most adults can ride their bikes with a clear conscience is either on their own land or On empty roads. Using this letter as both an artistic medium and as a pub-lic forum, I would like to suggest that Mocksville invest in bike lanes. These would increase foot traffic into areas such as downtown businesses, open more parking, increase safety for current road bike riders, and encourage more people to exercise and experience the weather themselves.Andy VernonMocksville Town should invest in bike lanes To the editor:Thank you so much for the wonderful response to the benefit breakfast for Paula Campbell on Feb. 4. A special thank you to Sandra Davies for presenting a beautiful quilt provided by the Prayer Quilt Ministry at First Methodist Benefit breakfast in Cooleemee a success Church of Mocksville.And thank you to all of the volunteers who cooked, served and cleaned up.Judy Webb, Teresa RusherCooleemee To the editor:Mr. Editor, how will Mr. Huntington get my answer to his lying about dead people under Mr. Trump? But Mr. Biden had more dead people in two years than Mr. Trump had in four years. Jan. 6, you said five people died and 140 officers were hurt, a lit. One lady, Miss Loreno Bobbitt, was gunned down by one of them officers. She had no gun, just standing there not making no threat to him or anyone else. Pelosi gave him a medal. How many officers got hurt? Zero. One had a stroke and died.Pelosi and her party knew two days or longer before Jan. 6 that Mr. Trump and his voters did not start Jan. 6. It’s time to ask Pelosi, the FBI, CIA and her mod and Mr. Biden some hard questions. Why did Pelosi remove so much security from around our Capital? If it smells bad, it’s bad. They were sent to start Jan. 6.Twitter is putting proof out that Pelosi, FBI, CIA, your party, Clinton, Mr. Biden, all big tech, all news people,about censoring Republicans, going after Republicans, about Jan. 6. We all know Mr. Biden is a traitor to our country and needs to be tried for treason.It’s not Republicans ignoring our Constitution, but it’s Democrats attacking for First and Second Amendments.Yes, I saw Liz Cheney and her mod sham report that was made up to make Mr. Trump look bad, but it made them look stupid. The proof you are talking about is one woman who Mr. Trump would not give her the position that she wanted; looks like she was trying to pay him back. If it smells bad, it’s bad. They put this out because Republicans was taking over the house and the truth is coming out about her and her mod sham of lies. I bet you seen what good Americans told her when they sent her packing. Lis and her daddy Dick need to be tried for domestic terrorism for what they did to our country and American people.Linda CampbellMocksville Democrats ignoring 1st, 2nd Amendments A Love StoryBy Julie Terry CartnerGrasping the small box in his gnarled hand, Colin rushed, as quickly as he could, down the cobbled path. He couldn’t be late. After all, tradition was, well, tradition. He remembered the first time…They’d been on their first date, a Friday night football game, followed by coffee at the local diner and bakery, Paradise Sweets. He’d ordered a slice of hot apple pie, a’ la mode; Molly had declined. But, as he’d sliced his fork into the pie, releasing the tart-sweet aroma of baked apples, spicy cinnamon, and warm nutmeg, she’d hummed, just a tiny soft sound, but enough to let Colin know she’d de-clined, not because she didn’t want the pie, but because she was, who knew at that point? Counting calories? Trying not to spend his money? Too nervous? He didn’t know, but at that moment, he was pretty sure he wanted to take care of her that night, and perhaps forever. Without a word, he of-fered her the first bite, his blue eyes twinkling in kindness, and, almost without thinking, she’d opened her mouth and accepted the warm, tangy deliciousness. He then asked the waitress for a second fork, and they’d shared the treat.That was the beginning of their Friday night tradition. First, they’d attended the games because that was what high schoolers did, then, after graduation, because, in small towns, that’s where everyone went. Years later, they’d watched their children on the field playing, on the sidelines cheering, or in the bleachers enjoying the game. And even later, their grandchildren doing the same. Traditions: they helped the world make sense in a somewhat senseless time.That night, the first night he’d shared his pie with her, he’d driven her home, walked her to her porch, kissed her on the cheek, and murmured a soft goodnight. He’d wanted to kiss her properly, but he reasoned with himself that he’d have that opportunity later, and not to rush things.He'd been right. The next morning he’d gotten up early, returned to Paradise Sweets, and bought an apple Danish. He’d swung by her house on his way to work and left the pastry hanging on the front doorknob. Ringing the bell once, he slid back into his car and went to his part time job at Franklin Farm Supply. He’d loaded bags of feed and var-ious farming supplies. He’d re-stocked shelves, and helped little old ladies find goodies for their pets. At the end of the day, tired, but happy, he headed for his truck, only to find a bag sitting on the front seat. Opening it, he found an apple fritter, sprinkled with cinnamon sugar and still warm for the oven. He looked around just in time to see Molly’s car pulling out of the parking lot. I’m glad I grew up in the 60s and 70s, and not these days.Nowadays, everybody’s watching.To make it worse, we’ve handed all of our chil-dren devices that instantly connect them to the world. And we did these even before we learned how to prop-erly use them.I’m not talking about the technology; there’s plenty of smart people who now how to maneuver the technol-ogy. It’s how we use that technology. It’s what we post online. It’s the reasons we post things online. It’s the re-sults we expect when we post something online. We’re looking for validation of our own opinions, for ways to sway someone else’s opinion, and way too often, just like to stir things up. The internet, it seems, has made us all experts.At everything.All the time.We’re setting a bad example for our kids here, folks.We’re not experts.At much of anything.At any time.But isn’t it fun to watch those videos of people doing stupid things? I’m not proud, but I’ve watched some of those myself. It’s fun. It makes us feel better about our-selves when we watch others do stupid things.Most of us did plenty of stupid things back in our younger days, not to mention the decisions we made yesterday. Imagine if there was a camera recording ev-ery stupid thing you had ever done? We’re not that far from that being reality. Our young people should legiti-mately expect that.With the way we use social media, it’s no wonder that our young people relish posting themselves doing stupid things.It happened last week at Davie High, when a 17-year-old student posted a video on Snapchat. He was in the Davie High parking lot, after school hours, with an Air-soft gun (These guns are designed for sport or training, and shoot non-lethal plastic pellets.). He said the video was shot months ago, but he just posted it online.Uh oh.School administration got wind of the posting. The sheriff’s department got wind of the posting. As a re-sult, the young man was charged via juvenile petition with bringing a weapon onto school property. With a zero weapons policy, they had no choice but to issue the petition. Sheriff J.D. Hartman said the law specifically mentions Airsoft guns. Many of them look like guns that shoot lethal ammunition.Hartman says he advises all of his officers to assume that every interaction they have with every person is being recorded by someone, if not themselves. That’s some pretty good advice.We’re to blame here. It shouldn’t be cool to post something online that is illegal or dangerous. But that’s exactly what happened here.This young man, in addition to the criminal charges for which we hope the penalty is minimal, was suspend-ed from school.All for posting a video online.I’m just glad there wasn’t a cell phone recording what happened in Mrs. Sparks’ science class back in 1976 at Davie High School. I just made that up, but I’ll bet there were dozens of instances where people would be ap-palled these days from the shenanigans of young people back then. But you’ll never know. There were no smart phones.My advice: put that smart phone down for a day each week, or at least a few hours for one day. Noone is go-ing to miss what you had for lunch, or your opinion on the latest post.- Mike Barnhardt DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Feb. 16, 2023 - 3 Presidential Mothers Renegade ... Continued From Page 2He'd followed her, and when she pulled down a side road, he parked behind her. Slipping out of his car and into hers, he’d leaned over and kissed her.It doesn’t happen often, but when it does, smart people don’t fight it. They dated through the remainder of their senior year and for the next two years. He gave her time to get the education she wanted, and she gave him time to build a house beside his family’s orchard. They married in a simple ceremony at their families’ church and settled into the life they were meant to lead.Fifty-three years later, Colin still got butterflies when Molly entered the room. She lit up the deepest recesses of his life. Now, on the anniversary of their first date, he rushed to her, hot apple pie a’ la mode in hand, before the ice cream could melt.Settling into a chair pulled closely to the hospital bed, he opened the lid, allowing the fragrance to escape. “You wouldn’t order this on our first date, my Molly, but I’ve never let you deny yourself again.” Sliding the fork into the fragrant pie, Colin fed her the first bite, even as tears glistened in his eyes. “Here’s to you, my forever love. Happy Anniversary,” he said, as he stared at the woman, still lovely to him, even surrounded by the accoutrements of the nursing home. CCCBy Marie CraigThe next time you are riding on Wilkesboro Street near Davie Florist and Lambert Funeral Home, take a look at that spot and travel back in time to 1940. Right there was a campus of the federally-funded Civilian Conservation Corps. In researching the two newspapers in Mocksville, The Mocksville Enterprise [leaning to the Democrat par-ty] and the Davie Record [Republican-slant] I found ref-erences from 1934 of local men who were serving in CCC Camps in the Smokies, Charlotte, Marion, Greensboro, and Lexington. The 1937 papers described the fact that North Carolina would have 52 camps. They were an attempt to pull peo-ple out of the Great Depression slump, with young men arriving with almost nothing. They were issued uniforms and fed nutritious food and were paid $30 per month, with a requirement that $25 had to be sent home to their family. Thirty dollars in 1940 is equivalent to $643.43 in 2022 according to an inflation calculator online. Their work involved road building, planting trees, and forest fire fighting. The May 20, 1937 Mocksville Enter-prise had this quote: “The work in these camps has giv-en them courage and self- reliance. These young men, who constitute a good cross section of average American life, have picked up habits of work and also special skills which enabled many of them to step out of camp into jobs in useful private employment.” The June 12, 1940 edition of the Davie Record had this information, “The population of Mocksville has in-creased about 15 per cent in the past week. About 200 CCC boys have arrived from Lexington and taken up quarters in their new camp on Wilkesboro street.” Another article in the same paper: “Uncle Sam’s “soldiers of the soil,” Civil-ian Conservation Corps Company No. 3408, are busily en- gaged in establishing headquarters in Mocksville.” Online research gives the camp name as Daniel Boone.“Recently moved from a point near Lexington, the 179 young men in the camp, not including officers, are work-ing now under the direction of civilian carpenter foremen and carpenters in erecting their camp buildings. The camp is located on the Statesville road, on the edge of the Mocksville city limits. “First Lieut. Charlos R. Wright, Jr., is in charge of the camp, assisted by Second Lieut. W.D. Vestal, with Dr. Daniel Rothstein as camp surgeon. The discipline of the members of the company is under the direction of these officers, while they work under the direction of the soil conservation service, G.B. Foster, project superintendent. More buildings are to be used than were in the camp at Lexington. At the present camp there are or will be five barracks, a mess hall, recreation hall, school building, of-ficers’ quarters, headquarters building, infirmary and other necessary bath and toilet buildings. This is in the CCC division. In addition the soil conservation service, locat-ed adjacent to the CCC camp, includes four new garag-es, S.C.S. quarters, and S.C.S. headquarters. Not all of the numerous buildings in the camp can be seen from the highway. Most of the barracks are built in the woods, giv-ing the boys a cool place this summer to rest on their time off and to sleep during the hot nights. The camp presents a busy atmosphere as the boys work on completing the mov-able houses, getting everything in readiness for a long stay.“With the exception of the help being given by the several civilian carpenters, the boys are doing the work themselves. They have built roads through the camp and otherwise conditioned the grounds in addition to putting up the buildings.“First building completed was the mess hall. Here sev-eral boys work faithfully peeling the thousands of pota-toes and otherwise preparing the huge quantities of food that only 179 hungry young men can put behind their belts three times a day. The mess hall, without doubt the most popular spot in the camp, is under the direction of Mess Sergeant I.L. Wright.“Once the camp is properly established the personnel will begin their usual work in repairing soil erosion dam-age and in working with the landowners in the area in pre-venting erosion in the future.”Davie Record, April 8, 1942: “The CCC Camp which was opened here nearly two years ago, has been disman-tled, and most of the boys left for their various homes and other camps on Wednesday.”Daniel Boone CCC lasted only two years, but the impact of improving lives and environment was mighty. Except for these newspaper articles, there is almost no informa-tion about the camp. Many of the men who grew stronger and more dedicated served in World War Two. Caught in PassingBy Gaye HootsWhen Hanes Mall opened, I worked part-time at Belk and at full-time job. This was before we heard frequent stories of child trafficking, but as a mother, I was always alert to children who might be in distress. At Belk a small child’s cries alerted me to a well-dressed man rushing to- ward the door to the parking lot holding a crying toddler in his arms.I stepped in front of him and asked what was wrong with the child. He explained that his wife had insisted that he take their daughter with him and give her some time alone. This was his first time taking her without her mom, and she was not happy. I asked the girl her name and if she knew this man, and she said, “Daddy.” “Where are you going with him?” I inquired. “Home to Mommy,” she snubbed. I apologized to the man, who told me he understood and said, “I am in as big a hurry to get her back to Mommy as she is to get there!”A few years ago, I was in Lowe’s Building Supply and heard a baby about six months old crying as if in acute distress. A young woman had the baby in a shopping cart carrier and had a toddler by her hand. I kept them in sight, and when the cries increased, I spoke to the mother, saying it sounded like her baby was in pain.She explained that the child began to cry each time she took her into a store but stated that as a single mother, she had no choice. I thought a single mother overwhelmed with two small children could be a warning sign, so I con-tinued to follow them, as the baby cried. I trailed them through checkout and the door. Just like clockwork, the cries ceased the minute she was outside.The mom said, “See, it happens every time, and I don’t know if it is the overhead lights, the fans, or the noise, but it never fails.” Do you have any idea why she does this?”I said my only guess is that she is trying to train you not to take her into stores. The mom snorted but thanked me for my concern.Last week a young mom told me about problems she was having with disciplining her 12 year old. She stated they had not gotten her a Christmas present because of her behavior. I felt this was a little harsh, but she contin-ued that her daughter had complained that they did not spend quality time with her, so for Christmas, both parents spent the whole day doing activities she chose and fixed meals she requested. She told them this was one of her best Christmases ever.I also toured a camp that has programs for kids four through twelve with a two-year age range. The number of days offered varied, and the cost was expensive. I was surprised there was a long waiting list as it was entirely outdoors unless there were storm warnings; parents had to pack all snacks and a change of clothes because they were allowed to play as we did on the farm as children. The only play equipment I saw was an old tire swing and a tether ball. I watched kids overflow the water fountain to make a large mudhole and play happily in the mud. They were left to their imaginations; two girls sat at a picnic table talking, one climbed into a low-hanging tree, and the others played in the mud. There were two friendly dogs on the property, and the staff did not call instructions to the kids; they just tried to keep them in sight.The girls I was with were excited to sign up. I asked one of them if she was sure, and her reply was, “Yes, I want to play in the rain, and the mud, and the dog poop just like everyone else!”I think this would be a good income maker for anyone with a few acres and small farm animals. By Betty Etchison WestFor the Enterprise Sophia Birchard, the mother of the 19th Presi-dent of the United States, Rutherford Birchard Hayes, was born in Wilmington, Del. on April 15, 1792. She was the daughter of Roger Cornwall Birchard and Drusilla Birchard. Sophia married Rutherford Ezekiel Hayes Jr. on Sept. 13, 1813. The Hayes family moved to Ohio, which at that time was the frontier. Mr. Hayes got sick and died of a fever a few month before his son was born. That son, Ruth-erford Birchard Hayes, was raised by his mother with the help, particularly the fi-nancial help, of her brother, Sardis Birchard. Because Rutherford was a rather sickly boy, and probably because his broth-er was killed in a drowning accident, Mrs. Hayes gave Rutherford a great deal of attention which sometimes caused some resentment in the family. Sophia Hayes was evidently not bothered by the resentment: she just did what she felt she should do for each of her children. Sardis Birchard, Sophia Birchard Hayes’ bachelor brother, was a successful pioneer merchant and a fur trader in Ohio. Money nev-er seemed to be a problem as fatherless Rutherford was growing up because of the help they received from Uncle Saris. He sent his nephew to good board-ing schools and finally to Kenyon College. The uncle wanted Rutherford to go to Yale, but his mother want-ed him to go to Kenyon College in Ohio. His moth-er won that battle so his un-cle paid for Rutherford to go Kenyon College where he excelled and was made a member of Phi Beta Kappa. Uncle Sardis helped Ruth-erford continue his educa-tion by becoming a student at Harvard Law School.Sophia Birchard Hayes was evidently a strong women who met the trials and hardships that she en-dured with great courage. Just having a baby several months after the death of her husband and having a son drown would have stopped some women in their tracks, but not Mrs. Hayes. Rutherford was be-lieved to have received his strength and his pride in his Yankee or New England heritage from his mother. The fact that Mrs. Hayes did not seem to have to worry about finances be-cause she had a generous brother who provided for the financial needs of the family certainly helped, but Sophia still needed the mental capacity to carry on in the face of hardships.Sophia Birchard Hayes died on Oct. 30, 1866, when she was 74 years old. That lady, who was born in Delaware and finally settled with her husband before his death in Ohio, lived a full life devoted to her family. Even though she did not have to face the dire poverty that the mother of Andrew Johnson faced, she did face troubles and all sources indicate that she faced them with great cour-age. Mrs. Hayes is buried in Oak Grove Cemetery in Delaware, Ohio, about 75 miles from where her son, President Rutherford Birchard Hayes, is buried at his estate, Spiegel Grove, in Fremont, Ohio, which he actually inherited from his uncle, Sardis Birchard.The Presidents of the United States have been raised in all kinds of con-ditions. Some grew up in households that were stricken by poverty and others in households where money was not a problem. The families of Andrew Jackson, Millard Fillmore, and James Garfield were certainly poverty-stricken while life seemed much easier for others. That seemed to be true for James Madison, James Buchan-an, and the 19th president, Rutherford Birchard Hayes. This seems to indicate that it is not the situation into which a person was born that determined success, but rather some inter drive possessed by the individu-al; maybe that drive is just pure determination.•The mother of the 20th President, James A. Gar-field, was Eliza Ballou, born Sept. 21, 1801, and who married Abram Gar-field on Feb. 3, 1820. There seems to be many adjectives which described Eliza. Some of those found in information about Eli-za were: intelligent, petite, industrious, tireless, strong, and determined. Eliza’s family, the Bal-lous, had moved to Ohio, which seemed to be the place to settle in the late 1700s and 1800s. Eliza meet and finally married Abram Garfield in Perry Township, Ohio. Abram farmed, and, then, when construction started on the Ohio and Erie Canal, Abram obtained a contract to build a section of that waterway. Eliza even pre-pared meals for the con-struction workers.The Garfields had four children between 1821 and 1826. The child born in 1826 was a boy, who was named James Ballou. That child died when he was 2. Eliza found comfort in her religion, the Disciples of Christ. Eliza then had an-other baby boy in 1831, who she decided to name James in honor of the baby that had died, and she gave him the middle name of Abram in honor of his fa-ther. At that point, Eliza felt that her last son was des-tined to do great things. Abram Garfield died when he took chills after fighting a fire and died. Eliza faced her situation bravely. She sold part of their farm to pay off the debts and then somehow managed to keep the fami-ly together. It is not known for sure, but she may have made some money using her talent as a seamstress. She guided her family and gave them all the affection that they needed to thrive. James decided that he wanted to be a sailor. He ended up taking the low-est job that a sailor could have—the driver of a team of mules that pulled a barge along the canal. James ev-idently wasn’t a good driv-er because he fell into the canal 14 times during his career as a driver. James got sick from all that dunk-ing into the canal and his mother nursed him back to health and encouraged him to go school instead of be-ing a mule driver. He did what his mother wanted and the rest is history. James A. Garfield got his education and was suc-cessful enough that he was nominated and was final-ly elected President of the United States.Eliza Garfield was the first mother to see her son inaugurated as President. His first act the 20th pres-ident was to lean over and give his aged mother a kiss. He never failed to honor his mother. Eliza lived with her son’s family in the White House, and she loved it. While living at the White House, Eliza received word that two relatives in Ohio had been killed in an acci-dent. She went to Ohio to attend the funerals. While she was in Ohio, she re-ceived the message that her son had been shot by an as-sassin. The one letter that Garfield wrote as he lay wounded was to his mother who was in Ohio. James’ mother was just devastat-ed by the death of her son. She continued to live with James’ family at their home in Mentor, Ohio, until her death on Jan. 21, 1888. She was buried beside her hus-band in Solon, Guyahoga County, Ohio. Hayes, Garfield raised by widowed mothers The homes of Presidents Rutherford B. Hayes (above) and James Garfield. 4 - DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Feb. 16, 2023 SHOP LOCAL Arson is suspected in a fire that destroyed a mobile home Sunday afternoon near Cooleemee. *Annual Percentage Yield (APY) eective as of the publication date.

EMS ... “I want to continue that legacy.”The new station is being built with the EMT in mind, and EMTs were consulted in the design, Ashburn said. “This is their home every fourth day,” he said. “They eat here, sleep here, study here.”County Manager Brian Barnett said he remembers sitting at his desk in Green-ville, NC, prior to taking the job here, reading about Da-vie EMS.“What a difference a year makes,” Barnett said. “We’ve come a long way in a year. My No. 1 priority is patient care - that we give top-notch care.”Davie EMS has sta-tions on Dr. Slate Drive in Mocksville (headquarters), on Farmington Road near NC 801, and on US 601 South near Greasy Corner. Barnett said the search is on for land for Station 5, which is likely to be in the western part of Davie County.County commissioner Brent Shoaf said he has wit-nessed Davie EMS work for his family; and said it is much better than a private system, which he witnessed in another state. “This is im-portant. We want you to be successful,” he said to the EMTs.Commissioner Benita Finney agreed.“Thanks for enduring temporary homes, and hope you will have a stable home now,” she said. “And I hope we start listening to your voices and give you what you need.”“We’re thankful for the lives that will be saved by this place,” said Chris Cantrell, Hope Baptist Tab-ernacle pastor who said a prayer for the facility. These Davie EMS employees were at the groundbreaking ceremony.

The third week of Feb-ruary is National Entre-preneurship Week which highlights small businesses and small business owners across the USA - Feb. 11-18. Davie County 4-H is highlighting several Da-vie youth and their small businesses on its Facebook page. “4-H is a program which teaches youth about differ-ent life skills and promotes youth leadership,” said Da-vie County 4-H agent, Dan-ny Lough. “Entrepreneur-ship really embodies a lot of these principles. When youth run a small business, they have to make or raise a product, invest resources into that product, market their goods and services, and keep track of their fi-nances. They learn so many skills that are applicable to the real world.” Each 4-H youth was in-vited to do a 1-2 minute video where they intro-duce themselves and their business. Small businesses ranged from 13-year-old Riley Barnes’ egg business to 10-year-old Claire Bev-erly’s Amish peanut butter and ornament business. Youth showcased their goods and highlighted where members of the com-munity can buy their goods. They also highlighted how they came up with their business and what they were raising money for.“It is great to see the phil-anthropic spirit that many of these young people have,” said Lough. “One youth was raising money for new playground equipment at their school and another was raising money to help adults with disabilities. These are awesome ways for youth to give back and improve our Davie community.”The videos are a great way for the community to learn more about some young entrepreneurs but the learning didn’t stop there. Riley Barnes competed in the Eggs-ellent Egg Con-test where she learned more about the egg industry. Leah Frick, Eden Miller, and Claire and Lauren Bev-erly submitted Project Re-cord Books where they re-corded their small business activities, work on improv-ing their skills, and the fi-nances associated with their project. Several of these 4-Hers also recorded wanting to ex-pand their business and save for their future.To view the videos, visit the Davie County 4-H Face-book page next Monday-Friday to learn about some of Davie County’s youngest business owners.

I commend that individual for sharing information with the principal and we encour-age others to do the same,” Wallace said.Davie County Schools’ district hotline is a way to report safety concerns at a school. “If you know or hear of something we should know, please reach out to help us ensure our students and staff remain safe and secure,” Wallace said.

This program will teach the ins and outs of starting a successful busi-ness.

Professional speakers will lead you through each ses-sion, giving you firsthand knowledge of being an en-trepreneur. No prior experi-ence is needed.“Through this process, we hope participants will receive the answers to all of their questions and then be able to make the best deci-sion for themselves.

Aaron was born to Jmes Bruce Strain (Jimmy) and Col-leen Stanley Strain in Gaffney, S.C. Aaron was preceded in death by his sister, Norma Jean Frye, and is survived by his neph-ew Jeremy Kinton, and niece April Kinton. Aaron graduated from Davie County High School, before mov-ing on to Forsyth Tech to pursue nursing. Aaron loved to help peo-ple, and worked as a CNA for a period of time, before returning to restaurant management. Aaron was a hilarious person, who could make anyone smile. He loved animals, children, and music. He loved to jam out to all types of music with his loved ones. Aaron was extremely adventurous and would drop everything to go on a spontaneous adventure, whether to Florida or California. He enjoyed the outdoors and going to both the beach and the mountains. "They say home is where the heart is, and for most peo-ple that consists of four walls and a welcome mat. But for him, it was the ocean."He loved rainbows and made sure everyone knew it. Whether it was with rainbow sunglasses or decor in his home, Aaron made sure that his personality showed as bright and colorful as a rainbow. "Try to be a rainbow in someone's cloud." -Maya AngelouAaron will be greatly missed by so many loved ones. "Even though your wings were ready, our hearts were not". John 11:25.Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die;This was never goodbye, it was always, "see you later".

Dessert, the final course, is a favorite part of mealtime – a sentiment shared by many. Today’s recipes include sweet endings from the cookbook, The Art of Cooking, by the Davie County Arts Council. Selections include my favor-ite flavors – those deeply sinful with brown sugar, caramel, or chocolate – and sometimes a combo of all three. I’m dedicating today’s dessert recipes in honor of all those folks who support the arts in our communities – and one friend in particular, Shari Keller. Recently, she lost a battle but found victory in a sweet ending. Proprietors of the Artist Market on Main in downtown Mocksville, Shari, and her husband, Rex, represented the handiwork of many artists. Our town was infused with hefty doses of handmade and homemade. A creative artist herself, Shari understood that art is an essential ingredient of society. Art stimulates the brain and has healing ben-efits. For children, art activities increase sensory develop-ment and self-esteem. How many children learn by doing at the elbows of another? In culinary arts, how many great cooks learned from helping their mammas put dinner on the table? We can’t underestimate the role that art plays in our ev-eryday lives. While the final course of a meal is sweet – the ending to a well-lived, Christian life is even sweeter. Billy Gra-ham’s book, Angels, assures us that when our time comes, we are not alone. Graham tells us that hundreds of records give accounts of the heavenly escorts of angels at death. In the end, imagine the faithful being ushered by angels into the presence of God. Imagine for a moment being surrounded by these heavenly messengers sent by God to take you home – and in the next moment, finding yourself in the splendor of heaven. The Bible informs us of these ministering spirits through a parable found in Luke 16: 19-31. The lyrics of a popular song recorded by the Christian band, Mercy Me, reflect on such a glorious moment:“I can only imagine What my eyes would see When Your face is before meSurrounded by Your glory What will my heart feel? Will I dance for you, Jesus Or in awe of You be still? Will I stand in Your presence Or to my knees will I fall? Will I sing hallelujah? Will I be able to speak at all?”We can all take comfort in knowing that when the end comes – the moment will be the sweetest we’ve ever tast-ed. There’s no sweeter victory than to be surrounded by angels who will deliver us into the presence of our Savior – and then our hope and faith to be realized in Christ. I can only imagine.

Everyone knew exactly what was about to happen when the unbeaten Testa faced a 45-5 opponent in the 182 title match in the Midwest Regional at Piedmont on Feb. 11. Testa beat Kyle Perry in shutout fashion and secured his second regional championship in the 182 weight class. Testa pinned his first two op-ponents in the first period. After a major decision in the semifinals, he By Brian PittsEnterprise Record Although the Davie varsity girls basketball team suffered its fourth loss in a row against visiting Parkland on Feb. 7, it felt like the downward spiral was halted when the final horn sounded. After disheartening losses that saw Davie manage just 39, 33 and 29 points, the War Eagles came out against a Parkland team that was in second place in the conference with their collective hair on fire in what proved to be the highest-scor-ing game in 29 years. They led most of the way before absorbing a heartbreaking 77-71 loss. It was a heck of an effort after losing by 27 to Parkland on Jan. 10. It was quite a showing after hitting a wall against Reagan/Mt. By Brian PittsEnterprise Record The Davie varsity boys bas-ketball team entered this week’s Central Piedmont Conference Tournament in high spirits after closing the regular season with two wins. The War Eagles of Josh Pittman defied preseason odds by reaching 17-7. It’s just the third 17-win season in 10 years. Davie 63, Parkland 51Parkland wound up with zero CPC wins, but the Mustangs are not the punching bag they were in December/January. They were coming off an 85-78 overtime loss to Reagan before making Davie work for the win on Senior Night for Burke Rosenbaum and Hayden Williams on Feb. 7. “Credit to Parkland,” Pittman said. “On Friday they had Reagan beat and they ended up losing in overtime. So they’re still fighting and trying to get wins. They played hard the whole game.”The War Eagles came out breathing fire. Seven of their first 10 field goals were 3-pointers. Jackson Powers banged three treys, Rosenbaum hit two and Ethan Ratledge and Williams add-ed one apiece as Davie rolled to a Ho-hum: Testa wins wrestling regionals faced the Hickory Ridge senior in the finals. Testa cruised 6-0. “He knew it was supposed to be a good match in the finals, and he was ready for it,” Davie coach Perry Long said. “He dominated the whole match.”The top four finishers in each weight class qualified for the state tournament. Testa qualified for the third time in as many tries. As a freshman, he finished third in the regional at 182. Last year as a sophomore, he took the 182 crown before finishing third in the state. He has faced 12 region-al opponents in three years and walked away victorious 11 times. Please See Testa - Page B4 By Brian PittsEnterprise Record Elijah Chaffin of Ellis and Aidan Szewczyk of South Davie put the finishing touches on their three-year masterpieces, North Davie’s John Evans represented the third wrestler from Davie County to achieve perfection in 2022-23 and the Tigers walked off with the trophy in the Davie Coun-ty Invitational at South on Feb. 4. South piled up 290 points to claim the season-ending middle school tournament. North Davie (264), West Rowan (220) and El-lis (180) were next in the scoring among nine teams. Eighth graders Szewczyk and Chaffin never lost in their middle school careers. As if that’s not enough, both pinned every oppo-nent they faced this season. Sze-wczyk went 10-0 in sixth grade, 15-0 as a seventh grader, 17-0 this year and earned most outstanding wrestler among the lower weights. Johnson hits game-winner for girls Tabor/West Forsyth. The game featured seven ties and eight lead changes. Davie’s biggest lead was seven; Parkland’s was six. The game also featured a lot of whistles - 53 fouls (27 on Parkland, 26 on Davie) - and 71 free throws (Parkland 25-42, Davie 20-29). “My girls did everything I asked them to do defensively and offensively,” coach Lindsey Ad-ams said. “That was a hard one to swallow.”Sydney Dirks, Lauren Colama-rino and Malayka Rankin were a part of a 7-0 run that lifted Davie to a 33-27 lead late in the first half. Rankin fouled out early in the third. Adams wasn’t happy with the call and was hit with a techni-cal foul. Parkland converted 3 of 4 free throws to forge a tie at 36. Then Colamarino found magic. When it was 36-36, the junior cen-ter had missed her only two field goals while scoring four points from the line. All she did from there was score 17 of Davie’s next 24 points. Twice Dirks assisted a Colama-rino bucket. Bailey Aderhold fed Colamarino for two. Colamarino, an adept ball handler for a big girl, dribbled the ball downcourt, split two defenders in the lane and fin-ished at the rim. After hitting two free throws, she took an inbound pass, attacked the paint and kissed it off the glass. Kenadi Gentry fired a long baseball pass on an in-bounds. Colamarino caught it and went in for two as she was fouled, the three-point play providing a 60-54 lead. After Parkland got an and-one to take a 64-63 lead - its first lead since 27-26 - Colamari-no rebounded her own miss and scored for a 65-64 Davie lead. Colamarino had 20 points in a monstrous second half, or about 15 more than she was averaging at tipoff. She hit 8 of 17 from the floor, drilled 8 of 9 foul shots, scored 24 points, yanked down 21 rebounds, handed out three assists and swatted two shots. Not only did she provide scoring that Davie had been sorely missing in recent games, she achieved a 20-20 double-double, something that is unheard-of. “I wrote everybody a little sticky note and put it on their locker about their goal for the night,” Adams said. “I told Lauren: ‘Rebound every missed shot and attack the rim every time - they can’t guard you.’ Parkland didn’t have anybody with her size. That was the type of game I knew she was capable of.”In the fourth quarter, though, the Mustangs showed why they’re 17-5. They scored 23 of the final 34 points. Gentry’s two free throws provided a 67-66 lead, but Park-land went 7 of 10 at the line down the stretch to stave off the War Eagles and spoil Senior Night for Dirks, Somer Johnson and Keelyn Oakes. But still, it felt like a game that did not have a loser. “I didn’t know if we were going to find it, didn’t know if our sea-son had already peaked,” Adams said. “That’s definitely a game we needed. We needed some confi-dence going into the conference Chaffin, Szewczyk finish unbeaten careers “He put his final stamp on his middle school career,” South coach Russell Hilton said of his 122-pounder who went 42-0 across three years. “That’s proba-bly the most wins with zero losses in Davie County history because sixth graders have only been able to wrestle for six or seven years.”Chaffin (172) went 13-0 as an eighth grader and took the MOW award for the upper weights. “I’m praying he (continues to wrestle at Davie),” Ellis coach Charles Compton said. “He’s very good. For a big guy, he moves his feet very well. I mean, I can compare him to Hunter Testa (Da-vie’s 44-0 star), but he’s got more height than Hunter. When Elijah gets you in a cradle, you’re not getting out. I tell him all the time: ‘I know you’re a football guy, but you can be something special (on the mat).’”South produced five champi-ons, including Laz Smith (128), David Hicks (197), Noe Guzman (162) and Bryan Tapia (222). Smith went 3-0 in the tournament to finish his eighth-grade year at 16-1, the only loss coming in overtime. “Me and Timmy (Allen, as-sistant coach at N. Davie) both wanted to see Laz and (North’s Brayden Jenkins) in the finals,” Hilton said. Jenkins was defeated in his second match but rallied for third place as he battled through a broken thumb. “That would have been a really good one.” Please See Johnson - Page B2 Boys climb to 17 wins Please See Climb - Page B7 Please See Careers - Page B6 Lawson Hire finished his senior season with a 41-11 record.

The War Eagles beat West decisively (47-31) in early January, they were riding a 6-1 stretch and they jumped to an 8-3 lead in the first quarter in the rematch with the Titans. But West made big plays in the fourth quarter to stop Davie’s winning streak at three. Carleigh Croom and Bri-tany Hernandez each hit one free throw late in the fourth quarter, the latter pulling Davie within 20-18 with 54 seconds remaining. Davie came up with a steal, but then misfired from 18 feet out. After Davie missed two free throws at :26 when it was still 20-18, West got a breakaway layup to all but clinch victory.

Johnson had nine points and three assists. Rankin fouled out with five points, three rebounds, two assists, two steals and two charges taken. Peyton Spaugh had four points, Oakes four and Aderhold two. And then there was Dirks (seven points, four steals, three assists, two charges taken), the feisty senior who drew the defensive assign-ment on senior Christiana Young, who has 2,000-plus career points after spending her first three years of high school at Winston-Salem Christian. Young had 18 points in the 79-52 win over Davie in January, but this time she was a non-factor for three quarters before finishing with 13. Adams ordered a box-and-one and Dirks was draped on Young. When Dirks was not in the game, Spaugh helped con-tain the lethal Mustang. “(Young) leads our con-ference by averaging 17 points a game,”Adams said. “The reason I did a box on her is she also averages five assists a game, so she creates a lot for them. Syd-ney held (East Forsyth’s top scorer) to single digits. Sydney is just a tough com-petitor. If you give her a job, she will do it. She chased the girl around the court for 90 feet.”Notes: Parkland junior Justace Williams picked up the slack and poured in 28 points. ... This was the highest-scoring Davie game since a 78-75 win over Salis-bury in 1993-94. Davie 40, Glenn 39The War Eagles did not score in the first quarter in Kernersville on Feb. 10. They finished with 31 fewer points than the game before. They had to scratch and claw to get past the Central Piedmont Conference’s cel-lar-dweller. So, yeah, this win wasn’t a thing of beauty. Ultimate-ly, though, any road win in the CPC is a precious com-modity, regardless of how it is obtained. And the first win in 21 days was delivered by John-son, who drained a go-ahead shot with 11 seconds left. “Our conference is some-thing else, especially when you’ve got Parkland and Reynolds tied for first with four losses (each),” Adams said. The first quarter ended with Glenn ahead 7-0. Davie was 0 for 19 from the field in the first eight minutes. (It was a good thing the Bob-cats were having offensive trouble themselves.) Davie was 0 for 10 from 3-point range before Gentry nailed back-to-back treys to give her team a 14-13 halftime lead. Davie went into another extended drought and Glenn ripped off a 13-2 run to take a 26-16 lead. Adams became anxious so she put Colama- rino in the game for the first time with 3:20 remaining in the third. “We limited Lauren’s minutes because of an in-jury,” she said. “I was like: ‘OK, this is getting too close (to a loss). I don’t like this.’”After Colamarino en-tered, Davie went on a 22-7 run. An and-one by Oakes ignited the surge. Gentry and Colamarino combined for 15 of the 22 points as Davie barged to a 38-33 lead with 1:07 to go. “Kenadi, as always, stepped up at big moments and hit some 3s to give us some momentum,” Adams said. Glenn roared back by sandwiching two 3s around a Davie turnover. It was now 39-38 Parkland at :41. Davie missed a shot at :25, but Parkland missed the front end of a one-and-one at :23. Facing 94 feet and a fullcourt press, Davie was down one and down to its last gasp. “I told my girls their press (is not effective),” Adams said. “Just beat the press and you’ll get a layup. I drew up our press-breaker. I said anybody can score it.”Gentry inbounded to Johnson, who gave it to Rankin, who gave it right back to Johnson. The senior who earlier in the day com-mitted to Brevard to con-tinue her basketball career dribbled upcourt with her left hand and knifed into the lane. She sank a 10-footer at :11. After calling time at :07, a Bobcat missed a running 3 at the buzzer. Davie survived a scare on a night in which it shot 22 percent. “They were desperate to get a (CPC) win,” Adams said of Glenn. “Somer has been struggling with con-fidence. For her to kind of take it coast to coast and have the confidence to get that shot off was definitely important for us. That was big for her to step up and do that. She made the one that mattered and that’s the only thing we’re going to remember. That’s actually her second game-winner at Glenn. In my first year (at Davie when Johnson was a sophomore), she hit a 3 to win the game for us.”Gentry was fabulous af-ter a cold start, finishing with 18 points, four 3s and 10 rebounds. Colamarino had seven points and two assists in less than a half of action. Rankin had four points and four rebounds. Johnson had four points. Spaugh had four points, eight steals and three assists. Aderhold contributed four rebounds. And Davie got exactly what it needed from Oakes (two points, four assists, three rebounds) and Dirks (one point, nine rebounds as a starter in place of Col-amarino). “Sydney and Keelyn got a lot of playing time be-cause of their toughness and defense,” Adams said. “Everybody knows softball is Sydney’s sport, but she’s a competitor. She knows what her job is when she goes in. Keelyn is sneaky. A lot of people don’t consider her a threat, but she has a high basketball IQ.”Notes: Glenn dropped to 3-20. ... Davie, which Johnson ... won the first meeting 53-39, closed the regular season at 13-11. ... The War Eagles finished tied for fifth in the CPC. The standings: Reynolds/Parkland 10-4, East Forsyth 9-5, Reagan 8-6, Davie/West Forsyth 7-7, Tabor 5-9, Glenn 0-14. ... The CPC Tournament is this week. (four) and Croom (three) did the Davie scoring. Lynch added 12 rebounds. Davie finished 8-8 overall and third in the Central Pied-mont Conference at 6-4. Hernandez was the No. 1 scorer for the season at 10.2 - no small feat for a fresh-man. Lynch was invaluable while posting 6.5 points and 13.2 rebounds. The third and fourth scorers were Croom (6.0) and Tarpley (5.4). After time ran out against West, Russell reflected on the past two years, which included 18 victories and a bonding that is immea-surable. “This sophomore group is very special to me because they’re the girls that I came in with,” he said. “I got to have (Hannah McMillian, Tarpley, Croom and Lynch) both years. It’s going to be tough to see them go. They might be replaceable on the court, but never replaceable in my heart or memories. I’m very thankful for them.” JV girls end season with a tough defeat DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Feb. 16, 2023 ‑ B3 Davy Hite is one of the nation’s most decorated and celebrated pro bass fishermen. A native of Sa-luda, S.C., who now lives in Ninety Six, S.C., he is one of two bass pros who have won bass fishing’s tri-ple crown – the Bassmaster Classic, FLW Tour Cham-pionship and BASS Angler of the Year award.So if he worries about the average bass fisher-man getting a late start on the year, there’s probably a good reason. He thinks it’s the early fisherman who gets the lunker bass – that keeping your boat in the ga-rage until March is a huge mistake.“I think February and March are the best months to catch your PB – personal best. They are great times to catch a big fish,” said Hite, who gave a handful of seminars at the recent Raleigh Bass and Saltwa-ter Expo on the N.C. State Fairgrounds. “Later in the spring, when the water is warmer, the fishing will be better for numbers, but this is the perfect time of year to target those big, prespawn females.”Hite said that the weath-er can be troublesome. There are as many more 30- and 40-degree days than 50-degree days – but a se-rious bass fisherman knows that it’s just in the cards for bass to start getting into more of a feeding mood. Bass often key on the water temperature, but not nearly as much as they key on the lengthening amount of day-light in every 24-hour peri-od. They understand spring is on the way, and know what that means: time to replenish the species.“Don’t plan long-term; just look out a day or two and when you can, just go,” said Hite, who starts getting serious when the surface water temperature creeps into the high 40s. Bass me-tabolism is still slow, but it’s starting to warm to the tests of packing on weight in a period of just a few weeks in order to be at peak health when they spawn.“Wherever you are fish-ing, there can be a lot go-ing on (in February). You will have some fish that will almost immediately be prespawn fish, who aren’t far from spawning. Those fish will be in around 5 feet of water. And then, you’ll have fish that are still deep, relating to baitfish in 20 to 40 feet of water.“Even if the weather is cold, there will be some bass that really want to get into shallow water. The approach of spring and the spawn will make them move,” he said. “I’ve fished with snow on the ground and caught them in 5 or 6 feet of water. You can have some groups of fish on shallow flats in creeks or in flat pockets, and they can be on 45-degree banks where you’re sitting in 20 feet of water throwing to the bank.”Hite said he starts each February fishing day trying to figure out which stage the fish are in the lake where he launches his boat. He has crankbaits and jigs tied on all the rods on his casting deck: crankbaits when he is looking for fish, and jigs when he finds them.“When I get on a body of water I haven’t fished in a few days – or a few weeks, or maybe not for a while – I’m going to start with a crankbait, because I can search with it. I start the day out looking, putting my trolling motor down, cov-ering water,” he said. “In February and March, I like to fish crankbaits that have a tight wobble; that’s an action that really works in relatively cold water. I am going to fish either a Shad Rap or a Rapala OG Slim. Both of them have a tight wobble and they come in different sizes; the biggest baits typically dive deeper, and the smaller baits, you can’t throw them as far.” Hite said bass in most lakes have a favorite meal in late winter: crawfish. The little crustaceans are full of protein, and bass want a high-protein diet when they’re preparing for the spawn. That’s why he uses baits that are colored like crawfish: reds, oranges and browns. Those colors don’t change when he finds fish and picks up a rod with a Buckeye mop jig tied on; he’ll use that bait to cover an area more thoroughly if he thinks it’s full of bass.“I made my living as a bass pro for 24 years with a jig tied on. It’s super good to catch big fish, but I’m going to start every day with a crankbait,” he said. “I usually start fishing shal-low water with deep water close by, and that’s rela-tive, depending on the lake you’re fishing. I’m looking at staging areas where pre-spawn fish hang out. I think they use them to get back and forth to deep water like a car uses a highway. “When I’m searching with a crankbait, I’m try-ing to find what kind of cover bass are relating to, and sometimes, water con-ditions can dictate that,” he said. “They can be on wood, brush, stickups, but this time of year, rocks are usually good. It can be any type of rock; river stone, pebble rock, chunk rod, slate rock or riprap. Where the bass are is relative to what kind of rock the craw-fish are hiding in. When you get that figured out, if you catch a couple of fish, that’s when you go to a jig. I can fish it more slowly, and I have confidence I can throw a mop jig and have a good chance of catching a big, female bass.” Davy Hite of Ninety Six, S.C., with a 7-pound bass that hit a jig. - Photo courtesy Dan Kibler February, March good time to catch lunker bass When you were growing up, what did you want to be?

You don’t want to watch them too much and get too much in your head about them. Watch them and just get an idea of what they like to do.”What about when op-ponets scout you? “I kind of wrestle every-body a little different,” Testa said. “I think it would be hard to get an idea for how I wrestle, honestly.”Now Testa has his eyes on the biggest prize of all. This weekend he will try to become the 13th wrestling state champ in Davie annals. “I feel like he’s locked in for this week,” Long said. “Monday he’ll practice here. Tuesday and Wednesday he’ll practice at Dudley. And on Thursday we’re going to start our journey to winning a state championship.”“I want to do better than I did last year; I keep that in mind,” Testa said. “But also my practice partners at Combat and at Davie and the coaches, they all keep me humble. They’ll beat me up at practice to make sure I’m getting good looks and make sure I’m working hard.”•••Losing in the consolation semifinals, also known as the “blood round,” is always gut-wrenching. Four War Eagles fell one win short of qualifying for the state. Three of them were fresh-man Andy Davis, who went 3-2 at 126; senior Lawson Hire, who went 3-2 at 132; junior Jerred Alexander, who went 3-2 at 170; and junior Brysen Godbey, who went 2-2 at 220. Davis fin-ished the season 18-8, Al-exander 33-17 and Godbey 38-11. Making it all the more painful, the consolation semifinal was the final Davie match for Hire, the team’s only senior. He went 41-11 this year and 91-48 for his career. “Those were some tough losses for me,” Long said. “With Lawson being a se-nior, that really hurt me because I wanted him to qualify so bad. He’s been a leader on the team. He’ll do anything you ask him to do. I hugged him up when we got back. I wish we had a redshirt because I’d love to have him back on the team next year. He’s the kind of guy who makes a coach enjoy coaching.”Notes: Junior Reid Nail (30-16 record at 120), fresh-man Elliott Gould (22-16 at 145), junior Luke Tehandon (18-9 at 113), sophomore Luke Miller (21-18 at 138), sophomore Christian Bo-swell (13-9 at 195), soph-omore Ryder Strickland (32-14 at 285) and freshman Jamarius Pelote (20-22 at 152) also represented Davie in the regional. ...

DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Feb. 16, 2023 - B5 This scripture message brought to you by these businesses who encourage you to worship at the church of your choice. He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.(John 3:36) B6 - DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Feb. 16, 2023 Continued From Page B1in his second match but rallied for third place as he battled through a broken thumb. “That would have been a really good one.”The semifinals and finals were the signature moments for David Hicks, who went pin-pin to close his eighth-grade season at 15-1. “That was the best he’s wrestled in his South Da-vie career,” Hilton said. “I’ve been tough on him all year and it finally clicked. He didn’t wrestle his best against North Davie (late in the regular season). In the semifinals, he had a big, strong kid from West Rowan who was 9-1. In the finals, he had a kid from Greensboro who was 14-0. And David just destroyed both of them.” Guzman (three pins in the tournament) and Tapia (two pins) finished their seasons at 11-1 and 11-3, re-spectively - no small thing for two first-year eighth graders. “Guzman is strong,” Hilton said. “He doesn’t look like he’s 14 years old. He looks like he’s about 30 out there with his full beard. His hard work paid off. “Tapia gets it. He loves being physical. He’s a foot-ball player, so wrestling is only going to help him in football.”Hilton sent out 25 wres-tlers. Xander Proctor (140), Caleb Edwards (162) and Isaiah Leonard (184) fin-ished second, and Anthony Arbiaza (76), Leighton Reavis (108) and Brandon Pastor (184) won the con-solations for third. •••After having a bumpy seventh-grade season at North, Evans had quite the U-turn. He went 16-0 at 184, including two pins in two tries in the tournament. “He did a 180 from last year - in school and sports,” North coach Jamey Holt said. Holt watched five of his boys win gold medals, including Isaac O’Toole (140), Graylan Anderson (92), Hayden Potts (100) and Walker Matthews (252). O’Toole went 12-2 as a seventh grader, the only losses coming outside the county (Starmount, West Rowan). “He’s tough,” Holt said. “He plays football, but I think wrestling is going to be his thing if he puts the time in and gets in the weight room. He could be a really good one down the road.”Matthews went 2-1 in the round robin at heavy-weight, took first on criteria and finished his eighth-grade season 12-3. After going 8-6 in the regular season, Anderson turned it up a notch and pinned all three opponents in the tournament. “It was the best he’s wrestled all year as far as being smart, not putting himself in bad positions and doing things that we’d been working on,” Holt said of the seventh grader. “He’s got a chance to be tough.” Potts had some hiccups during a 7-6 regular season. But now look - he went 3-0 with two pins in the tour-nament after getting seeded seventh. “He turned the corner,” Holt said of the eighth grad-er. “I said: ‘If you wrestle like the Hayden Potts from last year (when he went 10-0 at 90/98), you can win this thing.’ When he beat (Ellis’) Jack Bost 7-0 in the first round, I knew he came to wrestle. He showed what he can do when he puts his mind to it.”Holt carried 28 Wildcats to the tournament. Ste-phen Jacobs (115) and DJ McCaskill (222) finished second, while Taylor Shen-berger (122), Jenkins (128) and Jackson Crotts (154) placed third. •••The event yielded three champions from Ellis, in-cluding Jacob Steelman (115) and Austin Eggers (85). Steelman went 3-0 to close his eighth-grade season at 10-2. “He listens,” Compton said of Steelman. “He takes everything to heart. If I show something on Mon-day, the next day he is already using it. Kids like Jacob are a coach’s dream. I think his opponent in the finals was 11-1.”Eggers, a sixth grader, went 2-0 with a spectacular pin in the finals. “Austin poured it on when he needed to pour it on,” Compton said after the 85-pounder finished with an 8-4 record. “I love this age because most of them don’t know their opponents’ records. He might have wrestled different in the finals if he’d known that kid was an undefeated eighth grader. Austin wrestled his butt off. I had tears in my eyes (after the pin).”Compton entered 19 guys, including sec-ond-place finishers Tony Velasco (122), Carter Hoots (134) and Luis Salas (252). Bost (100) and Allen Mox-ley (140) turned in consola-tion titles. Careers ... South Davie’s Isaiah Leonard gets a pin on the way to runner-up at 184.

DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Feb. 16, 2023 - B7 By Brian PittsEnterprise Record The South Davie boys basketball team entered the conference championship game with the wind at its sails. The second-seeded Tigers romped by 30 and 24 points in the first two rounds, they whipped top-seeded Phoenix Academy 53-27 on Dec. 15 and they had enormous momentum from a 13-game winning streak. The championship show-down at Phoenix on Feb. 3, The Davie JV boys bas-ketball team closed its sea-son with a pair of wins. Thomas Essic (14), Ethan Driver (13) and Cam-eron Owens (12) scored in double figures as the War Eagles dispatched Parkland, 57-46, at home on Feb. 7. Adam Brown (seven), Noah Shore (four), Dallas Sims (three), George Sakai (two) and David Patton (two) contributed as Davie halted a three-game losing streak. Three days later, the War Eagles handled business at Glenn, 58-51. Owens Continued From Page B130-17 lead. They seemed poised for a cakewalk over the Mustangs (5-17). The War Eagles, though, played with their food in the middle quarters and found themselves in a 42-37 dog-fight heading into the fourth. “I said: ‘We’ve got to man up and put in some energy, attitude and effort for the last eight minutes. It doesn’t come down to Xs and Os; it comes down to Climbs ... though, was a different story from Dec. 15. Phoenix and its one-man gang stunned South 61-45. Phoenix’s star player was responsible for half the offense with 31 points. Making the loss all the more frustrating, Phoe-nix’s go-to player got to the free-throw line time and time again, going 21 of 24 from the charity stripe. South, which trailed 32-26 at halftime, was out-scored 29-19 in the second half, resulting in its first loss since Nov. 21. Noah Dulin (17), Draeton Nance (15), Jayce Bentley (nine) and Jayden War-ren (six) did the scoring as South finished 13-3. Despite the disappointing finish, the Tigers enjoyed a tremendous season. This marked the seventh 13-win season in their 30-year history as a middle school. South went 16-1 in 2007-08, 16-1 in 2009-10, 15-2 in 2012-13, 17-0 in 2013-14, 13-2 in 2016-17 and 14-2 in 2019-20. To say South will be strong in 2023-24 would be an understatement. Dulin (18.7) and Nance (17.1) put up huge scoring numbers and both are seventh grad-ers. The Nos. 3-4 scoring averages belonged to Cam-eron Knox (7.6) and Warren (7.1). “William Martin and Owen Parker should have good years next year, and if Anderson Branham con-tinues to develop, we will be solid,” coach Germain Mayfield said. Phoenix shocks South in finals (15 points), Driver (14) and Brown (13) propelled Davie to a final record of 13-8, including a 7-7 mark in the Central Piedmont Conference. Essic (nine), Isaac Swisher (four) and Jackson Sulecki (three) were the other scorers. For the season, Elliott Erlandsson paced Davie in scoring with a 13.4 average, although he missed the last six JV games after he was pulled up to varsity. Driver (11.5), Owens (10.6) and Brown (10.1) also averaged double figures. Essic was fifth at 5.0. JV boys close strong scrambling, playing harder and wanting to win,’” Pitt-man said. “Thank goodness, they went out there and responded.”Davie opened the third with a 11-2 run while con-verting 4 of 5 field goals. Coleman Lawhon engi-neered the crushing stretch with two points, four assists and two steals. Lawhon drove and dished to Rat-ledge for two. He assisted an inside bucket by Powers. He got a steal off Davie’s full-court press and hit Williams for a layup. He attacked the lane and gave a no-look pass to Ratledge. At 53-39, Davie was home free. This isn’t news, but Powers played big with 17 points, seven rebounds and three assists. He made 6 of 10 field goals and 3 of 5 3s. After missing the previous three games, Ratledge (16 points, seven rebounds, two assists, 5-7 FGs) was a ma-jor difference-maker in his return. Lawhon recorded 11 points, seven assists and four steals. Williams had seven points, four boards and two steals. Rosenbaum had six points and three steals. Ian Koontz had four points and four boards. Elliott Erlands-son had two points and four boards. Braddock Coleman chipped in three rebounds as Davie stopped a two-game slide and executed Pittman’s fullcourt press beautifully when Parkland was making things too close for comfort. “I waited (until the fourth) before I fullcourt pressed them because I knew they might have trou-ble with passes,” he said. “I wanted to wait until the right moment. “(Ratledge) played great. It was good to get him back.”Davie 52, Glenn 46The regular-season finale in Kernersville on Feb. 10 went smoother than antic-ipated for the War Eagles, who won with room to spare after squeaking out a 51-50 decision in the first meeting thanks to two Williams free throws with nine ticks left. From Davie’s perspec-tive, it was poetic that a team with two seniors dictated terms against a team that honored 10 seniors. “We maintained our composure when they made a little run,” Pittman said. “We took care of the ball, we got good energy from the bench and it was a total locked-in effort all the way around.”After Davie spotted Glenn an 8-0 lead, Rosen-baum rose to the road chal-lenge by completely taking over. He sank a tear drop with his off (left) hand. Af-ter hitting a triple, he took a charge on the defensive end. He rebounded and threw long to Coleman, who finished at the other end. Then Rosenbaum hit from long range. In the second half, Rosenbaum (16 team-high points) resumed his blister-ing offense. After Powers assisted two Rosenbaum bombs, he was 5 of 6 from the field and 4 of 5 from the arc - and Davie had a 33-22 lead. “Burke played well,” Pit-tman said. “He maintained his composure, played good defense for the most part, knocked down open shots and penetrated the gaps when we asked him to. It seems like he’s catching a groove and getting his bas-ketball legs, because it’s not easy when you take a whole year off.”You figured the Bobcats would eventually find an answer, and they did to cut Davie’s lead to 37-30. But after a Pittman timeout, Da-vie put the game away. Wil-liams buried a 3. Coleman snatched a rebound, went coast to coast and lofted a layup over a defender and off the glass and in. Powers scored on a forceful move from the low post. Rosen-baum scored on an inbound pass from Lawhon. Powers found a wide-open Ratledge underneath. Lawhon drove for an and-one. Now it was all but over at 51-37. The final ended up closer than it really was because Davie missed three straight front ends of one-and-ones. Not only did Powers have 10 points, seven re-bounds and two blocks, the big man dished out six assists. “He’s unselfish,” Pittman said. “I yell at him some-times when he passes it off a quick touch. I try to get him to take his time - play first and then pass it. When he does that, it makes him even harder to guard. When they know he’s going to pass it, they will stay home. When I’m calling a play for him to go score, that’s when I need him to be aggressive.”Davie got contributions from Lawhon (six points, three assists), Williams (six points, five rebounds, two steals), Ratledge (six points, six rebounds 3-4 FGs), Coleman (four points) and Gavin Reese (four points). “It’s hard to defend when you’ve got several players with 6-10 points,” he said. Notes: Pittman cited the play of Coleman and Re-ese. “Both of them came in with high energy and didn’t have turnovers,” he said. “Gavin played really well for a five-minute stretch, and that’s huge for us because it gives (Lawhon) a break.” ... Pittman also mentioned Erlandsson. “Elliott came in and did well. He didn’t score, but he played solid, didn’t turn it over and boxed out better.” ... Glenn slipped to 10-14. ... Davie finished fifth in the CPC. The stand-ings: Mt. Tabor 14-0, Weest Forsyth/East Forsyth 10-4, Reagan 8-6, Davie 7-7, Glenn 4-10, Reynolds 3-11, Parkland 0-14.
