By Mike BarnhardtEnterprise Record Mocksville town and plan-ning board members are hear-ing proposals this week that could add more than 315 acres of industrially zoned land into the town limits.One of the parcels, off US 601 N. and Cana Road, has al-ready been rezoned for industry by county commissioners. On Tuesday, the town board de-cided on the first step towards annexation of the 101.7-acre property, approving the certifi-cate of sufficiency.The board also decided on the certificate of sufficiency for 196 acres off Madison Road, US 64 West and Angell Knoll Ave. to be annexed.Public hearings for both projects are scheduled for the April 4 town board meeting.And on Thursday, the town’s planning board will hear from CRA Development, which is asking that the 196-acre Mad-ison Road property be rezoned from open space residential to general industrial-conditional. This goes before town planners because the property is within the town’s zoning authority, al-though not yet in the city limits.The planning board hears the case and makes a recom-mendation to town board mem-bers, who make the final deci-sion after a public hearing.

Labeling glitch creates issues By KC SmithCooleemee Correspondent Around 72 years ago, a tiny baby was taken by his grandmother to be raised in her Christian home in the poor town of Dante,Va. The decision she made that day was the beginning of a journey for that baby who finished his 47 years in the The youth at Cooleemee Baptist Church sing a special song in honor of Pastor Allen Mullins on his retirement. - Photo by KC Smith Mullins says thank you to the congregation, and gets in a little preaching, too, on his final day in the pulpit. He saw the light Pastor finds his way into 47-year ministry ministry on Feb. 26.Pastor Allen Mullins retired from First Baptist Church in Cooleemee. He pastored five churches and says he learned something at each which helped him grow and become a well rounded minister. His grandmother, July Ann, couldn’t read or write. She cleaned houses for $1 a day. “People there were mean up in those mountains,” Mullins said. He learned to read early by looking at Sunday comic sections in the newspaper. Having a grandson who could read by the age of 6 became the link between his grandmother and a Bible. There was no electricity in their home, but the radio was hooked to a car battery so they could listen to preaching. On Saturdays, they would go to a house where a Pentecostal Mountain congregation met. Guitars, fiddles, banjos and such lead the gospel singing and it went on until 2 to 3 o’clock in the morning, he said.

It really is worth the price of admission. The talent is amazing. The story keeps you on the edge of your seat. And the ending ... well, you’ll just have to go and see for yourself.This is coming from someone who can appreciate, but doesn’t really like and rarely attends live theatrical perfor-mances. To top it off, Bright Star is a musical. Musicals have never been my thing, on the stage or the screen.But the music here is different. Mona Jo Griffin on ban-jo, Charles Bowman on fiddle, Ricky Naylor on bass, Ja-mie White on guitar and Bobby Wood on fiddle make you want to tap your feet. It was amazing how they - and pianist Kristin Sakamoto - kept the music going without interfer-ing with the performers. They worked together brilliantly.Whether it was director Michael Cheek or someone else, but whoever picked the cast was on point. Not only did the cast members perform their parts well, they seemed and looked just like you would expect.Bright Star hit home because it includes the story of an aspiring writer, and his boss in Asheville, NC who was from Zebulon, NC. I worked in Zebulon for about a year, with a window that looked onto Main Street. So I could envision the young star growing up there in the 1920s, of getting into trouble there. Expect to hear other Tar Heel names during the production, which was written by Steve Martin (Yes, that Steve Martin.) and Edie Brickell (Yes, that Edie Brickell.).So do yourself a favor. Go see Bright Star. You’ll not only be supporting local, live arts - but your heart may just become a bit larger - in a good way.•••The Brock wasn’t the only place I saw some live music last weekend.The Red Daisy Festival in Downtown Winston-Salem didn’t disappoint, with plenty of jam music from The Grass is Dead (Think Greatful Dead music on bluegrass instru-ments), The Kind Thieves and Hotwax & The Splinters (You may remember them from playing at Junker’s Mill.). The sun was shining, the beer was flowing, with music ev-erywhere. A good vibe all around.It was part of the celebration of Doc Watson’s 100th birthday, featuring Billy Strings for two nights at the Law-rence Joel Coliseum. I was late hearing about that, and couldn’t get tickets to suit me. But Red Daisy helped fill the void. One thing I learned, Billy Strings has a Grate-ful Dead-like cult following. It made people watching very interesting.Thank you to the sponsors; proceeds went to the More-head School for the Blind.Doc Watson is a true North Carolina legend. I had the pleasure of seeing him in 1977 at the Grandfather Moun-tain Music Festival, a couple of years later at the Down Home in Johnson City, Tenn., which was like hearing him play in your living room, and most recently in the 80s or 90s (The memory ain’t what it used to be.) at The Brock, sponsored by the Davie County Arts Council.His guitar picking and singing should be celebrated every year, not just on what would have been his 100th birthday. I can only imagine hearing Billy Strings (Perhaps one of the most talented musicians out there these days.) picking that guitar and pouring out a soulful Doc Watson ballad. Music like that isn’t just for the ears and brain, it gets into your soul.•••The point here is to get out and see some live arts. Even if it’s out of your comfort zome, take a risk and go anyway. You might just have a good time.- Mike Barnhardt To the editor;What a nice surprise to see Editor Barnhardt’s great edi-torial questioning all the climate doomsayers. It was not too long ago where I read an article that was similar to his comments about prior experts calling for global cooling. They showed a 1977 Time Magazine cover with a penguin on the cover and it was titled “How to Survive the Coming Ice Age.” Then they showed another Time Magazine cover from 2008 titled “How to Win the Coming War On Global Warming.” They also showed how the liberal media is get-ting into the act now by showing an identical TV weather map showing the country of Germany with temperatures in Celsius for the next day. The 2009 map was a nice sooth-ing green color. The identical 2019 map (with lower temps than 2009) was a glowing fiery red and one in 2021 showed bold red with bursting yellow suns for heat effect.We all remember ex-VP Al Gore going on his rants earlier this year about boiling oceans and rain bombs. He said in 2009 at a Copenhagen climate conference that the North Polar ice-cap would have a 75 percent chance of be-ing within 5-7 years. In 2006 Gore predicted that our sea levels would rise by 20 feet in “the near future”. This guy has been made a multi-millionaire spouting untruths for years and flying in carbon-emitting private jets (just like Climate Czar John Kerry and climate gurus Bill Gates and Leonardo DiCaprio).These same liberals in power want to take away your gas stoves, stop you from eating meat because cows put out methane gas and make everybody drive electric cars with-out the U.S. having the infrastructure for the cars. They also don’t stop to tell you that a large portion of the co-balt for the EV batteries come from women and child labor camps in the Republic of Congo. (Subhuman & degrading underground conditions). What they also aren’t telling us is what they will be needing from the earth in the form of rare earth minerals over the next 30 years or so to get all of their infrastructure built. They will need cobalt, nickel, lithium, copper, graphite along with rare earths like vana-dium, cerium, gallium, lutecium plus many other types. It takes tons and tons just to get a few pounds of these miner-als, plus sulfuric and nitric acid to purify. All this produces toxic sludge. Oh yea, and where do we think they are putting all the solar farms? Clearing off our great timberland and food producing farmland. So, all in the name of green energy, they are going to take over as the No. 1 most-polluting industry in the world. Please let’s not forget wind power either. For the equivalent installed capacity that fossil fuels and nuclear require, wind turbines eat up in raw materi-als 15x more concrete, 90x more aluminum and 50x more iron, copper and glass. Yet they would have us all believe that the renewables are green and clean. Ha. Please, do your research because the Biden administra-tion is putting climate ahead of national security and lying to us about it.John Nelms, Advance ‘Green’ energy isn’t that green The CoronationBy Linda H. BarnetteCoronations of British monarchs have taken place in Westminster Abbey since 1066 when William the Con-queror was crowned there. When the Abbey was rebuilt during the reign of Henry III, it was clearly in the same Gothic style that re-mains today.In the middle of the Abbey, there is a place that was especially built for coronations. It is built in the shape of the cross, and the crowning ceremony takes place at the exact point where the two parts of the cross meet. The sovereign sits in the Coronation Chair in front of the High Al-tar. The chair itself is 700 years old.The Liber Regalis (royal book) writ-ten during medieval times explains how crownings are staged. In the book itself, four beautiful old pictures illustrate the act of crowning a ruler. This book is still used today to plan the event.To be sure, a coronation is a religious ceremony in which the monarch partakes of Holy Communion and is anointed with special holy oil by the head of the Anglican Church, the Archbishop of Canterbury. The monarch then makes promises to God and to the people they serve, thus making this event both a religious affair and an affair of state.The service ends with a processional and the singing of the national anthem, “God Save the King,” which is sung to the same tune as “My Country, “tis of Thee.” Tradition-ally, the royal family then gathers on the balcony of Buck-ingham Palace to greet the people as part of the public cel-ebration.It seems amazing that the coronation of King Charles III will be the first one since that of his mother, Queen Eliza-beth II in 1953. An Irish Tale, Part II By Julie Terry CartnerMuireann sat on a rock combing her long auburn hair, the sun releasing waves as soft and gentle as the incoming tide. Sighing softly, she allowed her mind to drift, reflect-ing on the past tumultuous years, her father, the druid, Tadg mac Nuadat, the cause of it all. When he was told that her marriage would lead to his loss of his home and property, he declined all her suitors’ advances. When Cumhal, a war-rior, abducted her, Tadg called in favors, and Cumhal, a man she could have loved, was killed in battle leaving her pregnant and alone. Her father, still caring more about his property than his daughter, turned her away and ordered her to be burned to death. Escaping, she sought protection from the high king, Conn. After the birth of Deimne, her son, fearful for his life, she left him in the care of ones she trusted. They renamed him Fionn and lived secretly in the forest. No mother should have to part from her child, but she feared her love for him was not as powerful as her father’s treachery.Now married to Gleor Lamderg, a king, she was half thrilled, half terrified to realize she was pregnant once again. Her father, the man who was supposed to love her, had been the engineer of her aforementioned loss. What would he do this time? Despite his attempts to have her killed, she was not only still alive, but now carrying an-other child to threaten his power and lifestyle.Committed to protecting her unborn child, and equally determined not to give this one up, Muireann vowed this time things would end differently. She was stronger, wiser, and more experienced in the ways of the world than the girl she’d once been. She would win this time. She knew she could only control her actions and choices, not the minds and actions of others, but she’d do all she could do.Time passed and Muireann gave birth to a daughter, so alike her as to be uncanny. Her infant head, even at birth, covered in red, curly hair, her pert nose, ornamented with a smattering of freckles, and eyes, as blue-green as the sea she loved, proclaimed her heritage as clearly as if Muire-ann stood on the parapets of the castle and shouted it to the world. No way I can hide or deny her, Muireann told herself. I’ll just have to stay on guard.But try as she might, nobody, especially one with a new-born, can stay alert twenty-four hours a day, and eventu-ally it happened. Sitting on the shoreline, feet caressed by the incoming surf, sun warm on her back, Muireann fell asleep, aided by a spell her father’s man had cast on her. When she awakened several hours later, she started in fear, then when she felt the comforting weight of the baby in her arms, she relaxed, appeased that all was well. Mere moments later, her world collapsed. Drawing back the blanket covering her child, she gazed at a baby, but not her baby. Green, not blue, eyes met hers, framed by a cap of deep chestnut hair, surrounding milky-white skin, not a freckle in sight. A beautiful baby, for sure, but not hers. Wailing the grief that only a parent can feel at the loss of a child, Muireann looked into the babe’s innocent face. Even heartbroken, she could only see the child’s purity, the innocence that demanded protection. Then and there, she vowed she would love and protect the child as her own, even as she searched the world over to find her babe. She hoped, fervently, that the woman who’d been given her child, would make the same vow. (To be continued…) Two Blue ShirtsBy Mike Byrd, Guest WriterLast Saturday, I went shopping for a vest so I can stay warm at work. When the wind starts blowing and it’s rainy outside, I stay cold! It’s been that way since chemotherapy; I try to remember that the chill I feel in the air reminds me that I’m alive. I’m grateful as I thank God and remember what my dad once told me: “Boy! It’s when you quit hurt-ing that you’ve got a problem. Come on, we’ve got work to do!” While browsing through the store, I saw a pretty blue shirt hanging all by itself. I looked at it closely; a men’s small size which would have fit perfectly on my friend, George Frye, who passed a while ago at the tender age of 94. They say as we get older that we get “set in our ways” and George was no exception to the rule. He dearly loved blue, long-sleeved shirts and would wear a variation of blue every day. DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, March 9, 2023 - 3 Presidential Mothers Renegade ... Continued From Page 2Many thoughts passed through my mind as I stared at the shirt hanging in front of me. I told my dearest friend who had accompanied me, that I really wish I could buy that shirt for George. She understood my thoughts and feelings. I miss his stories and his mentoring of my sev-en plus decade old self even more than the good food we shared at Kent’s, his favorite place to go for breakfast.As the memories of time spent listening and sharing with George at his home, I thought of another “blue shirt” friend I miss even more, my friend “Pete.” Both of us old school, we got along well and understood each other. Nei-ther of us felt like we fit in the world as we know it today. ete Frye was another one of those men who dearly loved his blue shirts! On rare occasions, the replacement color would be white, when the utmost of respect was offered to those he had known so well and called “friend.”There are so many things I could say about the color “blue!” It’s my favorite color too. I love blue shirts, blue pants, blue cars, blue skies, anything blue usually looks better to me. I never asked George nor Pete their reason for liking blue shirts so well, but in my case, it’s pretty easy for me. You see, I’m colorblind and blue is one color I see well. Unfortunately, because of my condition, any-thing remotely close to blue, is “blue” to me.I’m a better man for having had the privilege of know-ing George Frye and Pete Frye. Both were men of integrity and honor, even if they were just a little bit opinionated. Not overbearing, but quick to make clear where they stood. I like that in a man, in any person really. I guess one of the things I miss most from my younger years is the fact that today we’re so afraid that we’ll offend someone by being different or thinking differently that we keep silent. These two men of which I speak were related; you prob-ably figured that out already. They grew up in different eras in this country we call “The United States of Ameri-ca.” Both men experienced countless hardships that made them who they were as men; their work ethic, integrity, brutal honesty, willingness and desire to be a friend and helping neighbor shone through in their daily lives. Be-fore George died, he had forgotten more about cars than most people ever know. The same can be said for Pete. His common sense and brilliant mind helped him figure things out, engineer a project, get things done. This caused me to realize that God blessed him with an extra portion of desire and ability! I’ve never known anyone like him. I wish there was space to share more about each of these men, but that will have to wait for another day.Watch out for old men wearing blue shirts! You’ll prob-ably find out that they are very special men who deserve a few minutes of your time as they bend your ear with the stories of their lives. I hope you will listen. Dearly DepartedBy Stephanie Williams DeanWhat is there to Say?At that moment when I first hear,I lost someone so kind and dear.My vision, with head on pillow, you lay,While I struggle to keep tears at bay.Nevermore to see the light in your eyeNow only a memory to which we are tiedNo more days to grasp your sweet hand,Not another moment with whom to stand.God called you, but life won’t feel the sameIt was your time, there’s no one to blame.And without any fear, you stood tall in faithWithout ever knowing, which might be the dayWhat is there to say?I will forever remember you, Your light will always shine.Maybe not in your window,But in this heart of mine. By Betty Etchison WestFor the Enterprise Elizabeth Ramsey Irwin Harrison was born on July 18, 1810, in Mercerburg, Franklin County, Pa. Her parents were Mary Ramsey Irwin and Archibald Irwin. In 1831, when Elizabeth was 21, she married John Scott Harrison, the repre-sentative from Ohio in the United States House. John Scott was the son of Wil-liam Henry Harrison, the man who was the President of the United States for a short period of time. During the 29 years the Harrisons were married, they had many children. The number varies in dif-ferent sources. One says the Harrisons were the parents of nine sons and five daughters; another says they were the parents of 10 children. So we can only safely say that Eliza-beth and John Scott Harri-son had a big family even though the exact number seems to be a question. Some of the children died as infants so the num-ber may vary because some of the researchers may not have counted the children that died as infants. Other researchers actually listed each child with the date of birth, death, and name.

He was born in 1833, two years after his parents were married. Mrs. Harri-son died when she was 40. She died in 1850, and was buried in Congress Green Cemetery in North Bend, Ohio. She died 39 years before her son became the 23rd President. It is sad that the dear lady, who was the mother of so many chil-dren, did not live to see her son achieve the highest of-fice in our country. President Benjamin Harrison died on March 13, 1901, and was buried in Indianapolis, Ind., about 100 miles from the grave of his mother in North Bend, Ohio. •Grover Cleveland served a second term after Benjamin Harrison. Since he served one term before Benjamin Harrison and there was an article about his mother included in this series before the one about Elizabeth Harrison another one will not be included.•Nancy Allison McKin-ley, who was born on April 22, 1809, was of Scotch-German decent. Her parents were Abner Allison and Ann Campbell Allison. On Jan. 5, 1829, Nancy married William McKinley, whose ancestors came from England. Nancy McKinley was described as a robust lady. That must have been a cor-rect description because she not only was she the mother of nine children, but she is also described as being active in her com-munity. She was the person who was there to help when a new baby was born at the home of a neighbor; she was one who would help the sick friend; and she was the person who would keep a visiting preacher or would clean the church. She also did much of that without the help of her hus- band, who was gone a great deal of the time on business trips. She must have been a capable lady to care for her family and to be so active in her community. It is said that she did it all without complaining.Nancy McKinley al-ways did what she thought was best for her children. She was said to be a devot-ed and stern mother. When asked if she raised her son to be president, she said that she did not believe that she raised the boy to be president, but she tried to bring him up to be a good man. That would be a lofty goal for any mother and Mrs. McKinley seemed to have been successful be-cause William McKinley did seem to be a good man. He gained the approval of many of the American peo-ple before he was struck down in such an untimely manner by an assassin. The kind way that Mr. McKinley treated his wife, who was almost an inval-id, won the hearts of many people. Mrs. McKinley had seizures. When McKinley was president, he always insisted that his wife be seated beside him at White House dinners. If she had a seizure, he simply covered her face with a large napkin until the seizure subsided, and, then, he removed the napkin and continued as if nothing had happened. Through the years, the McKinleys lived in places where Mr. McKinley could come out of his office, look up at a distant window, see his wife, and wave. He did that every day at three o’clock each afternoon no matter what he was doing. If he was in a meeting, he stopped briefly and carried out that little ritual. The respect that the 25th Pres-ident showed for his wife and others endeared him to many people.The son of William and Nancy Allison McKinley was inaugurated as Pres-ident of the United States in 1897 when his mother was 88. Nancy McKinley attended the inauguration of her son, but she only lived nine months after he became president. Nancy was a patriotic lady so she was no doubt very proud that the son that she raised to be a good man had be-come President. What greater honor could a moth-er receive?Nancy Allison McKin-ley is buried at the West Lawn Cemetery in Canton, Ohio, the same town where her son is buried but not in the same place. President McKinley is not buried at West Lawn but in the huge McKinley Memorial. The Benjamin Harrison home in Pennsylvania, and the William McKinley Memorial in Ohio.

Elm Street, Graham, NC 27253 (336) 228-8800 Four Locations to Best Serve You Continued From Page 1teen, Mullins quit go-ing to church with his grandmother and became rebellious. Even though he had gone astray, he still felt in his heart there was something God wanted him to do, but he didn’t know what it was.He graduated from high school and went to community college where he met his wife Judy. Her parents tried to talk her out of marrying him. She was a Christian as was her family. But he was not. In July. they got married. That was a big decision for him, but he was about to make another decision that would change his heart forever.One night while Mul-lins was getting ready to close up the service station where he worked, a stranger stopped by. That stranger was a pastor that was leading a revival where his grandmother had been attending. That night there was an altar prayer for him. The pastor witnessed to him and Mullins accepted Christ to come into his life. He lost his job at the ser-vice station and he and his wife had no where to go.His aunt suggested they move to North Carolina. And they did.Moving to Hickory landed him a job at GE making $6 an hour. You can imagine what he felt like to go from working 50 hours a week for $1.25 per hour to making almost $6 an hour. What a quick leap to cloud nine. They were young, had money and began steering from the Lord. They went places and did things.His wife Judy was about to leave him at one point before they had a come-to-God meeting and got back in the church.Grace Baptist Church in Bethlehem in Hickory is where he came involved in the church. He taught Sunday school, he was made deacon and was on the building board. One day in the car with Judy, he was thinking about how miserable he felt and was about to cry. Judy said, “Why don’t you just give up, you know what God’s telling you to do.”The next week at church, he announced his calling. That was in 1996. The church licensed him under Watch Care and he was later ordained. He was called to Con-cord Baptist Church while he attended Fruitland Bible College in Hendersonville. He then went to New Hope Baptist in Brevard. He Pastor ... Family members join Pastor and Judy Mullins’ last day in the pulpit at Cooleemee First Baptist. Pastor Mullins loved singing in the choir, as he did on his final day. At right, Barbara Carter sings a solo. Plaques are presented to Mullins and wife Judy by Les Steele and Kip Moore. - Photos by KC Smith earned a bachelor’s degree in religion from Mars Hill College. His journey continued to Statesville to pastor Pleas-ant Grove Baptist. While there he received his Master of Divinity with languages in religion. During this time he worked with Iredell Statesville schools and Barium Springs Home for children in middle school classrooms.Mullins was actually working there when he ar-rived at Cooleemee Baptist. During his pastoral journey the Lord never left his side. When the cupboards were bare he heard a voice saying call IFH. Not knowing what that was, he called, a Baptist deacon answered the phone. He gave him a weekend job, and opened boxes that couldn’t be sold landed on his kitchen table.He lead a Mormon to the Lord and was hired by him because of his personality. At the Barium Springs Home, students would come back wanting to con-tinue because of the bond Mullins had created.“I have never seen people as respectful to a pastor as these are. They were very responsive to anything I asked them to do. It all started with my grandmother.”His wife Judy pretty much had the same name as his grandmother; Judy Ann and his grandmother was Julidy Ann. They didn’t like each other but his grand-mother would say, “She’s the one who took my baby away.”I guess you could say the two of them influencing her baby helped make him who he is today. “Judy stood behind me, she was strength and always there for me. “One of his many special memories is when during vacation bible school a teacher brought a 9 year girl to my office because she wanted to talk to me. She came in holding a stuffed bunny that was very soft and cuddly. She held it tight while she told him she wanted to receive Jesus as her savior. He led her to the Lord. Then she stretched her arms out and handed him the bunny. She said since she now has Jesus, she doesn’t need it anymore.“I always wanted to be somebody. Coming from a poor coal mining town, I wanted to make something of myself. I knew I was a good pastor. I always tried to do the right thing. I’ve always tried to stay in the book. That’s where all my decisions came from. “This is hard. It’s like leaving your child. God has prospered me. I wanted a big church and that’s when I was called to Cool-eemee.”Pastor Mullins plans to take it easy, doctor’s orders. Gardening is in his future and he is looking forward to having people stop by to take a look at his antiques and chat. “My life verse led me to the ministry. “ Joshua 1:6-7. “The seventh verse said it all: Only be strong and very courageous, that you may observe to do according to all the law which Moses My servant commanded you: do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may prosper where ever you go.”Pastor Allen and Judy have one daughter, Nita, and three grandchildren Marquel, AJ and Nia. Pastor Allen Mullins and his wife, Judy. He said: “I always tried to do the right thing. I’ve always tried to stay in the book. That’s where all my de- cisions came from.” 8 - DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, March 9, 2023 Mocksville resident Aaron Prillaman will join Irish musician Niamh Mur-ray for a concert on Thurs-day, March 23 from 7-8:30 p.m. at the Davidson-Davie Community College Rit-tling Conference Center in Thomasville.Prillaman is a performer as well as a music instruc-tor at the college.Murray, singer/song-writer, is a Fulbright For-eign Language Teaching Assistant at the college, visiting from Ireland for *Annual Percentage Yield (APY) effective as of the publication date.

When you arrive at Billy Graham’s training center, a delicious, chef-inspired dinner awaits. You’re seated at round tables in a dining room inspired by picture windows with gorgeous mountain views. Glorious sun-beams stream through glass, while outdoor views of God’s creation loom large. Following an overnight stay at the Pilgrim’s Inn, just waking with my head on a pilgrim’s pillow gave my nightly prayer, “Now I lay me down to sleep” a whole new mean-ing – one of the most peaceful slumbers, ever. Before returning home, we were served a sunrise buffet that was fit for a king. Inside the dining room, a magnificent yet humble, handcraft-ed grapevine cross is hung above the buffet line. A hearty breakfast awaited our arrival. Fluffy, hot scrambled eggs and bacon, baked southern cheesy grits, Greek yo-gurt with fresh fruit and granola, slices of French toast, and oodles of freshly baked breakfast bread and pastries were washed down with glasses of fresh juice and mugs of steaming roasted coffee. And that’s just about the edible food served. After food and fellowship with other spiritually minded folks, one thing’s for sure – you never leave the table hun-gry. Seekers are filled by both – the Spirit and physical sustenance. We Southerners do know best how to comin-gle every grand and glorious occasion with delicious food. And glorious it was. Holy, in truth. Echoing the words of Christian songwriter, Brandon Heath, who performed the evening before, “Although I’ve been coming here for years, each time I enter the gates of The Cove, I know I’ve entered a Holy place.” Brandon wrote his Christian hit single, “That’s Enough” while on the grounds at The Cove. The songwriter spends several days a year there because it’s in this sacred spot where he derives the inspiration to write many of his songs. Don’t we all need a holy place where we can pray, write, create, and sing at home? Our homes should be a place of peace. Just a few days before Brandon’s performance, Billy Graham’s grandson, Will, had taken the songwriter to see his grandfather’s original home at Montreat. Feeling as if he’d been gifted with something sacred, Brandon conclud-ed, “There’s no way it doesn’t rub off on you. I got a little tree sap on my pants – and didn’t want to wash them. I felt as if a bit of Billy Graham had rubbed off on me.” I think every one of us who attends an evening at the Cove feels the same way. Whether it’s GiGi Graham greet-ing you at the dining room door or dining at a table beside Will, your Spirit will recognize theirs – and a little bit of Billy Graham and his family will rub off on you. Brandon opened his concert with these words, “Come let us sing to the Lord, and may this night be one of praise be-cause you are worthy, Lord.” The night was one of worship to the Lord of Lords and King of Kings. Brandon shared a few heartwarming life stories and simple truths while en-tertaining in The Cove’s media theater center. White staying on the grounds of The Cove, the song-writer wrote one of my favorite songs about his stepmother titled, “I’m Not Who I Was.” Even though his parents di-vorced when he was 3, memories are etched in his mind. Writing about them has been a soothing therapy. Age, wis-dom, and maturity have given him a different perspective on his childhood. Through writing, Brandon’s come to un-derstand the power of forgiveness – and we all have that power to forgive one another. None of us have to be who we were. Each day is new and a new beginning. But whatever your story is, whether you’re up on a mountain or down in a valley, you are going to leave The Cove in a better place.Brandon’s evening concert was closed with truth – the church is our other home – a place we can go. We are called to go to church. When you don’t know which way to turn – when you’re not together – go to church. We are shepherds for one another. Go and get washed in the water. These words from the hymn, “Eternal Lord of Love,” spoke to me: “Eternal Lord of love, behold your Church.Walking once more the pilgrim way of Lent, Led by your cloud by day, by night your fire, Moved by your love and toward your presence bent, far off yet here – the goal of all desire.God speaks truth into our lives. Every time we come into God’s presence – we should leave differently. Moved by His love and toward His presence, we are bent.

In the hottest start that you’ll see, the sophomore went 7 for 7 in the first two games of the season as Davie split with Alexander Central and Carson. James’ fourth hit of the game at Central on Feb. 28 tied the game in the top of the seventh. The Cougars, though, pushed across a run in the bottom half to walk off a 4-3 win. Davie cut into Central’s 3-0 lead in the fourth. Davin Whitaker doubled and came home on Parker Aderhold’s hit. Davie could have had more, but it left the bases loaded. Davie inched a little closer in the fifth. James singled and moved up on Ty Goodson’s sac bunt. After D. Whitaker walked, James and Whitaker pulled off a double steal. After Jackson Sink walked, James scored on a wild pitch to pull Davie within 3-2. That set the stage for James in the top of the seventh. His leadoff homer tied the game at 3 and made him 4 for 4 with two runs and two steals. He’s coming off arguably the finest freshman season of all time, when he hit .409 with three homers. Now he has four dingers with tons of time left in his Davie career. In case you’re wondering, the Davie career record for long balls is 16 by Matt Marion from 1988-90. “I’m sure everybody in the Blistering James 7 for 7 in two games for Davie baseball Please See James - Page 4 By Brian PittsEnterprise Record Riley Potts was a rousing suc-cess in the Davie varsity softball season opener against visiting Starmount on Feb. 28. She struck out nine as a com-plete-game pitcher. What’s more, she doubled, tripled and knocked in five runs - not bad for a sopho-more who did not bat on varsity in 2022 - as Davie routed the Rams 11-1 in six innings. This was the head-coaching debut for Nathan Handy. What Rousing Success Potts gets 9 Ks, 5 RBIs in opener made the moment doubly sweet is it came against his alma mater. Handy, a 2007 graduate of Star-mount, lives five miles from the Rams’ campus. “It was a very good start to our season,” Handy said. Potts’ stirring performance included a bases-loaded triple. In the circle, she hurled a three-hitter and picked up her first varsity win. “Riley threw the best game that we’ve seen her throw,” Handy said. “She worked hard over the Please See Potts - Page B5 By Brian PittsEnterprise Record Considering the Davie tennis team entered the season with more questions than answers, its 2-0 start - both in the Central Piedmont Conference, no less - was fairly stunning. Not only did the War Eagles open the season with a 6-3 home win over Reynolds on Feb. 28, they clinched the decision in singles. C Crenshaw and his total of 26 wins were lost to graduation (he went 8-1 in singles and 18-2 in doubles with cousin Burke Rosenbaum). On top of that, Jack Williams, Zach Hill, Hayden Key, Slade Keaton and Grayson Busse came in with a combined career record of 11-14. But there is still talent on the roster. To no one’s surprise, Rosen-baum and Bryce Bailey stomped their opponents at the Nos. 1-2 seeds. But what made the win over Reynolds possible was the new starters being up for the task. Seniors Rosenbaum and Bailey both won 6-0, 6-0 at the top of the lineup. Then came three wins from three sophomores - Hill 6-2, 6-2 at No. 3, Key 6-1, 6-4 at No. 4 and Sean Lane 6-0, 6-0 at No. 5. “Expectation is both a wonder-ful and difficult thing,” ninth-year coach Shane Nixon said. “My top two live with it every time we play. They are expected to win. But to beat a really good one and two from Reynolds in 6-0, 6-0 fashion and then be on the court for about 15 minutes before finishing off the No. 1 doubles? I am simply not sure I thought they could surpass the high expectations - and yet they did.“How about my sophomore class? Wins from Zach, Hayden and Sean to go along with a real battle at six from Grayson (in 7-6, 7-5 defeat)? Wow. What a start for that group.”Rosenbaum/Bailey tacked on the sixth win of the day, 8-0, at No. 1 doubles. “To see all those 6-0s and 6-1s gives me some confidence that we can have a good year,” Nixon said. Davie 9, EF 0One day later at East Forsyth, Davie handled business in pedal-to-the-metal style. The singles wins: Rosenbaum 6-0, 6-0; Bailey 6-0, 6-0; Hill 6-3, 6-2; Key 6-2, 6-2; Lane 6-0, 6-3; and Busse 6-4, 6-2. Complet-ing the shutout in doubles were Rosenbaum/Bailey 8-2, Key/Slade Keaton 6-4 and Lane/Jack Williams 8-0. “When you factor in that we’ve beaten two CPC teams, that makes it even better,” Nixon said. “This group has come through. Since we’ve played a ton of sophomores so far, the 2-0 start is all we could have hoped for.“Burke is the two-time defend-ing CPC Player of the Year, and he is playing like it. Bryce is easily one of the most improved players in the league and is playing like a guy who has something to prove. And what I’m happier about is that they seem to be finding their groove as a doubles team. The sky is the limit for them.”Sophomores Hill, Key, Lee and Sophomores step up for young tennis team Busse have seemingly turned a corner overnight. “Zach and Hayden lead what is shaping up to be a good soph-omore class,” he said. “Zach’s style is unorthodox, but he finds a way to stay in points. Hayden is starting to understand how good he can be. Sean might be the most pleasant surprise of the season so far. Coach Terri Eanes calls him ‘the machine’ because he just goes out and gets every ball. Grayson got off to a less-than-stellar start against Reynolds, but then showed why I have confidence in him by rebounding beautifully at East.”And then: “Slade, partnered with Hayden, has really made a statement. And so has Jack while playing with Sean.”Notes: The War Eagles, who went 10-5 overall and 8-5 in the CPC last year, have rattled off 12 straight winning seasons. Their last losing season was 2005. ... Davie has outscored Reynolds 72-9 during a 10-match winning streak in the series. ... Davie has three straight 9-0 wins over East. Hunter Potts rapped two hits, Josh Whitaker pitched effectively in relief and Davie’s JV baseball team rallied to a 6-3 win at Alexan-der Central in the Davie coaching debut for Brandon Thalasinos on Feb. 28. Facing a 2-0 deficit, Davie charged in front with a five-run third. Gray Collins doubled, Chris-topher Barringer singled, Corbin Angus singled and Potts doubled before Carson Queen was hit by a pitch. Eli Webber capped the rally with Davie’s fifth hit of the inning, a two-run single. After Clarke Stem went 2.2 innings as the starter, Whitaker, a freshman and the younger brother of varsity pitcher Cole Whitaker, earned the win by holding the Cougars to one run over three in-nings. He struck out three. Webber recorded the final out. Davie outhit AC 6-5 as Potts went 2 for 3 with a double. Davie got one hit from Webber (1-2), Collins (1-3, double), Barringer (1-2, two runs) and Angus (1-2, walk). It was a well-played game with only one error (by AC). Carson 10, Davie 5The War Eagles jumped out to a 3-0 lead, but they surrendered five runs in the last three innings and lost a home on March 1. With Logan Allen and Barrin-ger aboard in the second, Angus singled. With two outs, Potts knocked in two with a hit that gave Davie the 3-0 lead. The lead disappeared in the Carson third, when the Cougars parlayed four hits, a hit batsman, an error and a walk into five runs. Davie never recovered despite hits from eight players. “We had a lot of base-running mistakes,” varsity coach Joey Anderson said. “That was the discouraging part.” JVs split first 2 games Please See JVs - Page B2 Junior Ty Miller of Davie’s varsity baseball team jumps back to avoid getting hit by a pitch during a nonconference game against Carson.

Sports Briefs Davie’s varsity soccer team did some good things, especially defensively, but they struggled finding the back of the net and fell to two conference rivals in a tournament at West Forsyth.

Davie shot 159 to West Davidson’s 170, Ledford’s 176 and East Davidson’s 184. “I’m very, very disap-pointed,” Boyette said. “We will not do anything in the conference with 159.” Sophomore Anderson Beliveau and senior Walker Jones shared medalist with 3-over 39s. The other two scorers for Davie were se-nior Colby Moore (40) and sophomore Landon Packard (41).

ND softball falls in opener to rain. Lexi Kulis’ penalty kick tied the score at 1-1, but the Titans followed with three goals. “We did not play bad,” coach Corbin Kopetzky said. “We are strong in the back like we were last year. We have growth to make, but we have the components for a successful season.” Two days later at West, Davie and Mt. Tabor clashed in an evenly-matched game. Tabor, though, scored on a free kick with 12 minutes re-maining to edge Davie 1-0. “We played well,” Kop-etzky said. “They got a free kick from about 35 yards out, and the girl put it about six inches below the cross-bar on a nice shot.” Marketing Solutions for YOUR business Newspapers • Special Sections OurDavie.com • Digital Marketing Business Card Directory Including: SEO, SEM, Targeted Marketing, Social and Reputation Management, Website Design, AND MORE.

They won $2,500 in cash. Team Ranger – Kyle Crickenberger, Jamie Ter-ry and Tom Fuller – won $1,500 for taking second place with 26 coyotes.

Ian Patton pitched three hitless innings and Tanner Steinour went 2 for 4 as North Davie’s baseball team opened the season with a 4-1 home win over High Point Christian on Feb. 28. The Wildcats did all of their scoring in the bottom of the first, a flurry that be-gan with a Steinour double. After Hayden Potts reached with a bunt hit, Blake French drove in two with a double. Ty Sain walked, French scored on a wild pitch and Jack Greer knocked in the fourth run with a single. Patton, who struck out five, French (one inning pitched) and Potts (one inning) held HPC hitless for five innings. Steinour worked the final two in-nings. One of Steinour’s hits was a double. French went 1 for 3 with a double. “A nice win to start the season,” coach Trevor Gooch said. “Ian pitched well and we got good pitch-ing in relief.”The defensive stand-out was outfielder Preston Young. “Preston had some nice catches in right field,” Gooch said. Watauga 8, ND 2Steinour went 3 for 3 with a double, but the Wild-cats lost at home to Watauga on March 1. North’s third and fourth pitchers of the day did man-age to keep Watauga from scoring, with Nolan Allen going 1.1 innings and Sain pitching in the seventh. French, Noah Potts and H. Potts all went 1 for 3. “Our pitchers pitched well, but we made some errors in the field,” Gooch said. “Tanner is knock-ing the cover off the ball. Hayden had some defensive gems at shortstop.” Steinhour rips for ND B4 - DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, March 9, 2023 Continued From Page B1stands was hoping Coy would hit a home run, and he came through in a big situation,” coach Joey An-derson said. “That’s just his DNA.”The Cougars started the last of the seventh with a single. After a stolen base and a strikeout, Anderson ordered an intentional walk to set up the force. Reliever Cole Whitaker battled Cen-tral’s cleanup man fiercely. The batter fouled off three straight pitches before get-ting a walk-off single. “Cole struck out proba-bly their best hitter,” Ander-son said of the No. 2 batter. “We decided to (intentional- James ... ly walk the No. 3 batter) be-cause the four-hole looked like a double-play target. He battled and battled. Cole made good pitches. We tried to go outside on him and he put a good swing on it.”Starter Jaydon Holder (four innings, three runs, one earned, one walk) and C. Whitaker (2.1 innings, one run, one walk, four strikeouts) pitched well in defeat. While James had four of Davie’s five hits, Ader-hold went 1 for 4 and Sink walked twice. It was hardly a bad loss. Central is a traditional pow-er and Davie was right there. “They made some great defensive plays and the ball didn’t bounce our way,” Anderson said. Davie 6, Carson 1Facing another program that is accustomed to win-ning, Davie picked up a marquee win at home on March 1. “I’m proud of the guys so far,” Anderson said. “I’d much rather be 2-0, of course, but I set up our schedule to where we’re going to be playing good competition and that’s only going to help us in confer-ence play.”James’ play continued to meet, if not surpass, his pre-season hype. He went 3 for 3 with two runs, a double, a walk and two more steals. “He’s still taking his big hacks from time to time, but he changes his approach and stays short and quick,” Anderson said. “He’s not getting weak hits. He’s hit-ting everything powerfully.”As if his explosion at the plate wasn’t enough, James flashed the leather at short. “He made two spectacu-lar plays, one that not many people are going to make,” Anderson said. Davie’s offense gave pitchers Braeden Rodg-ers and Connor Berg more than enough support in the bottom of the first. D. Whitaker’s single plated James and Goodson. After Aderhold executed a bunt and Brady Marshall walked, Davie went up 3-0 on Sink’s ground out. Rodgers was effective-ly wild as the starter. He tossed a one-hitter for four innings and racked up six Ks. He had a blemish on his stat line - six walks - but only allowed one run. Berg followed with 2.2 scoreless innings, and Cooper Bliss struck out the only batter he faced as the trio combined on a two-hitter. “Braeden didn’t get ahead of a lot of batters,” Anderson said. “They watched a lot of pitches, so they made you come at ‘em. He got out of two bas-es-loaded jams.”Davie’s ERA through two games is 1.57, earning a thumbs up from new pitch-ing coach Joey Cress. “Pitching looks pretty easy when everything’s working,” Cress said of Rodgers’ outing. “It takes a lot of guts to compete and find ways to get outs when you don’t have your best stuff. We’ve seen examples of both in these first two games. I’m excited about what we have seen out of every arm we have run out there thus far.”Davie’s seven hits came from four of the top five batters in the order. Goodson and D. Whitaker went 2-3 and 1-2 in the second and third holes, respectively. Goodson scored three runs and D. Whitaker drew two walks. Marshall, the prize freshman, went 1-2 with a walk in the five hole. “I saw a lot better at-bats up and down the lineup,” Anderson said.

DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, March 9, 2023 - B5 Continued From Page B1summer and got back to where we thought she should have been last year (if not for an injury). She’s dangerous with the ball in her hand or the bat in her hand. So she’s a huge asset.”Summer Simpson went 2 for 3 with two runs. Leah Grimes doubled and walked three times as Davie blended eight hits with eight walks and played error-free de-fense. Davie 20, SI 5Sparked by Raelyn Lank-ford’s powerful swing on the fifth pitch of the game, Davie accelerated its flying start at South Iredell on March 1. Lankford, the sophomore leadoff batter, lit the fuse by cranking her first career homer in the bottom of the first. “I don’t think I’ve ever seen that kid so excited,” Handy said. “She loved that opportunity. She put in a lot of work in the offseason - she’s been hitting the gym a lot - and it’s paying off. She’s got the strength and it all came together for her. I knew it wasn’t going to be long this season before she put one out of the park.”Leading 7-4, Davie blew it wide open in the fifth, sending up 16 batters and scoring 13 runs on nine hits, three walks and three errors. “It was one of those where we got hot and it just didn’t stop,” Handy said. The offensive fireworks came from Lankford (3-4, double, homer), Sydney Dirks (3-4, two doubles), Grimes (2-4, two doubles), Jaydn Davis (2-3, three RBIs) and Hanna Steinour (2-4, triple).

MAIN STREET • MOCKSVILLE, NC(336) 751-2120 Potts ... “As a freshman, Jaydn has done a tremendous job of being prepared for this level,” he said. “Hanna (a sophomore) has gotten bet-ter since last year. This is her first real taste of the varsity level.”Dirks, who hit safely in 23 of 24 games last year on the way to a glittering .549 average, entered the season with an 18-game hit-ting streak. The streak was stopped by Starmount, but Dirks wasn’t about to have another 0-fer. She scored four runs as Davie combined 15 hits with one error. Potts, who struck out six in just three innings, was the winning pitcher. She started the game, came out and then returned to the circle. ND 3, Davie 1North Davidson squeaked by visiting Davie on March 2. It was a hard-fought and frustrating loss for the War Eagles, who out-hit the hosts 7-3 but stranded seven runners. “We hit the cover off the ball. We just couldn’t find a gap,” Handy said. “Their defense made some plays. When we hit the ball hard, it was right to an outfielder. And their shortstop made a great diving catch in the pitching circle.”The frustrating part for Davie: All of North’s of-fense came on one swing in the bottom of the first. After a walk and a hit batsman, senior cleanup batter Alex Gray, a Lenior-Rhyne com-mitment, cracked a three-run homer. Gray won what proved to be a decisive battle against Potts, but the rest of Potts’ night was jaw-dropping. After Gray went deep, she retired 10 straight batters and 16 of the last 18. North only managed two hits from the second through the sixth. She walked one and struck out 10 in a three-hitter. And if you strike out 10 against the Black Knights, you’re pretty darn good. “After that home run, Riley probably pitched the game of her life,” Handy said. “It was just an excel-lent showing of taking the next step of being a varsity pitcher. To shut them down the rest of the game, that shows where she can go. She has a great opportunity to be a huge leader for this program for three years.”Simpson and Dirks reached in the top of the first, but Davie could not capital-ize. Then Davie missed out on a golden chance in the fourth. Dirks, Grimes and Davis put together consec-utive hits to load the bases with nobody out. Just when it looked like Davie was going to unload on North pitcher Kayla Milam, the junior lefty responded with back-to-back strikeouts be-fore inducing a popout to short as the score remained 3-0. Davie got on the board in the sixth, when Dirks singled and scored on a Davis double. However, that proved to be Davie’s final hit as Milam retired the last five batters. “We had three opportu-nities (in the fourth) with people I trust coming to the plate,” Handy said. “But we’re starting a lot of fresh-men and sophomores. So it may take us a few games to settle in and feel like it’s just another game.”Dirks (2-2, walk) and Davis (2-3) had two hits each. Dirks went 5 for 6 against S. Iredell/N. Da-vidson. “Sydney had a great game,” he said. “She was on base every time (against N. Davidson). We stranded her at second one time and at third one time.”Handy saw lots of posi-tives in defeat. “We’re super proud of how we fought,” he said. “It hurts to lose, but we played our butts off. I’m confident after this that we are ready for the CPC.”Notes: Neither team com-mitted an error. “There were very few mistakes made by either team,” Handy said after Davie slipped to 2-1. “It was a great game.” ...

B6 - DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, March 9, 2023 Davie’s JV softball team dominated the first week of the season, winning 9-1 at Starmount on Feb. 27 and 12-1 at South Iredell on March 1. “We’ve got a couple of young ladies out there that have not played a lot of soft-ball,” first-year coach Mike Foster said. “They are pay-ing attention and buying into the program. I think they’re doing an excellent job.”Chloe Smith will be Da-vie’s No. 1 pitcher this sea-son. She threw a complete game against S. Iredell. “She deserves a lot of the credit,” Foster said. “Once she gets settled in and comfortable, she does really well.”Foster has also been pleased with his leadoff batter, Ava Tomlinson. “Ava has done really well for us,” he said. “She’s probably got the highest on-base percentage. When the leadoff can get on base, that starts the whole system because morale is up and everybody is full of energy.” JV softball dominates Get it weekly! with a subscription to the Davie County Enterprise Record Only $32.03 In Davie County Call Today! 336-751-2120 Addy Lankford tosses it back to the pitcher.
