Things didn’t work, and now Eagle Heights is once again holding services in the Farmington Community Cen-ter. About five years ago, Pastor Brent Spry asked the church members to pray for land and try to raise $100,000 by year’s end. Around April that same year, pastor Spry received a phone call from Bethany Bap-tist Church asking for a meet ing.At lunch, Bethany Baptist leaders informed Pastor Spry they had purchased the orig-inal land that Eagle Heights had lost. They were planning on building a church on that property. Bethany Baptist was a small church of senior couples. Due to its, the church couldn’t qual-ify for a building loan. So Bethany Baptist leaders asked Spry if Eagle Heights would be interested in merg-ing with Bethany to form one church. Eagle Heights would get its land back, and Bethany Bap-tist had a building fund with $100,000. Considering Pastor Spry had asked the church to pray for land and raise $100,000 for a building fund, this offer seemed to be an answer to that prayer. After Spry announced this to Eagle Heights congregation, the churches decided to merge. They voted to change the Original Eagle Heights members Lorna and Earlie Beau- champ help break ground for the new church.Please See Church - Page 8 Ground was broken recently for New Beginnings Church on Farmington Road near Mocksville, a combined effort between Eagle Heights and Bethany Baptist. - Submitted PhotosNew Beginnings Churches combine efforts to reach more residents This is the first in a series of articles by David Freeze, runner and cyclist from China Grove, who is planning a run in each county seat in North Carolina.

It also means the de-velopment must be attached to public water and sewer sys-tems. It will be 18 months be-fore county sewer is available to the site.

The very thing being debated (affordable housing) is ex-actly what the Tri-West site could have been (and still has an outside chance of being used for if the economics of spec buildings around the state is fully and honestly con-sidered, i.e., a lot of them are sitting empty with “Avail-able” signs hung on the building – a drive along I-40, I-85, and US-29 will confirm that). Affordable housing, light commercial amenities, etc. can still be the best use of the Tri-West site. So why is Terry Bralley suddenly now concerned about housing? He certainly did not entertain the notion when he advocated for the spot rezoning (Zoning Map Amendment 2021-02 on June 7, 2021, changing Residential 20 Qual-ity Design Overlay and Highway Business Quality Design Overlay to General Industrial Quality Design Overlay) against the wishes of the local citizenry and the abundantly clear citizen wishes when the 2019 Comprehensive Plan was being developed (industry did not ever rank as a citi-zen desire). So, the same issues brought forward at the spot zoning public hearings still apply, such as conflicts with heavy truck traffic, for this proposal. Look at a map. The Twi-West complex will be even more inserted into a residential area with the new housing proposal (the quarry notwith-standing, which will one day be a wonderful conservation zone with migratory bird flyway aspects when it runs out). This very fact concerning housing and light commercial as the best use was brought forward in public hearings on the Tri-West spot zoning: viz., why would you plat a multi-million-dollar development and then turn around less than two years later and “force” an industrial re-zoning prac-tically next door in an otherwise residential/agricultural zoned area (reminder, the egregious use of “opportunity corridor” for industrial also aptly applies to residential cor-ridors)? The answer, of course, is inconsistent zoning and, per-haps, some undue developer influence. A final tidbit: the county-wide water study shows that the Tri-West site, along with the rest of the vounty, has a water supply prob-lem, ergo the water plant and distribution lines upcoming projects. So, even approving the Tri-West site before adequate supply lines are installed (one is being programmed for Farmington Road) was putting the cart in front of the horse. The Planning Board statement about utilities being avail-able was patently wrong – they will have to be developed (water and sewer). So, to parrot this discussion concerning the Farmington Road housing project, what was the rush? Other interests, of course. It is ironic, given the related price point for the devel-opment, that one of the planning board members actually stated during the public hearings regarding the now Tri-West tract that we didn’t need any more $300,000 houses in the county (and that when the average price point in the US on that day was $294,000). Again, the Tri-West site should have better uses in ac-cordance with the wishes of the Citizenry. If corrected such use would comport with the new discussion.William VaughanMocksville To the editor:I am a Boy Scout in Troop 505 in Mocksville, and am writing to express my strong support for the Boy Scouts of America and to encourage others to get involved in this incredible organization.The Boy Scouts have provided opportunity for Ameri-can youth for over a century, providing young people with the opportunity to grow, learn, and lead in a supportive and challenging environment. From camping and hiking to citizenship and leadership training, the Boy Scouts offer a wide range of activities that help you from your daily life to important life saving situations.Boy Scouts can also help you with school, or jobs in-volving life skills and public service, and I strongly en-courage others to at least try Boy Scouts. Whether as a parent, volunteer, or fellow scout, there are countless ways to help support this organization.Caden Mott, Mocksville Boy urges more participation in Scouting An Irish Tale, Part IIIBy Julie Terry CartnerSighing, Maureen watched her daughter, Meghan, skip happily to the shoreline, to the lapping waves that she knew should be Meggie’s home. She knew; she’d always known, Meggie was not her child, at least in the legally, genetic way. That wild red hair, those precious freckles, and those sea-blue eyes defined her heritage, and it was, in no way, kin to Maureen.Seeing her own chestnut-haired, green-eyed reflection in the window, she allowed the memory to return. To the minute, she could say when her world…here she hesitated. In a way, it was the day her world ended, but, in another way, that wasn’t exactly true. Shifted might be a better word. Yes, the day her world had shifted. As a daughter of Ireland, Maureen had known all the legends, all the folk-lore, so when she’d put her ivory skinned baby girl in the bassinet one night, then picked up a freckle-faced infant four hours later, she’d known. This wasn’t her baby; this was a changeling. In the wee hours of a Sunday morning, alone in the darkness, she’d wept, even as she’d cradled the innocent one in her arms and provided nourishment from her body. For it wasn’t the babe’s fault; she was a victim, the inno-cent one. As Maureen fed, then changed the baby’s diaper, she’d looked carefully, and though changelings are often unhealthy, usually the reason for a switch, this babe looked fine, and, judging from her lusty cries as she demanded food, healthy. Maureen had wondered, and finally decided that there was probably more to the story than she might ever know. It could be the baby was stolen from her faerie mother, possibly as a form of punishment, or revenge, envy or even treason. It could be that she, herself, was being punished by the faeries. Perhaps the death of her husband at sea was only the first punitive act for some action he’d taken against the faeries. She doubted she’d ever know. What she did know is that she’d lost a child and gained a child, and it was up to her to determine how she would handle this.Looking into the babe’s ocean-blue eyes and seeing only the vulnerability of the innocent, Maureen vowed to raise the child as her own, with all the love and devotion a mother could give, the love and devotion that she’d prom-ised her own child, hoping only that another mother out there was making the same pledge to her daughter. And so, she had. She’d delighted in all the firsts: rolling over, sitting up, tentative, wobbly steps, and like all first-time moms feel and mourn, the lightning-fast progression from infant to child, from cautious steps to running, skipping, and climbing, and, in Meggie’s case, to slipping into the sea and swimming like a fish.Knowing her child’s true heritage, Maureen ensured Meggie learned to swim, almost before she could walk. Understanding the lure of Ireland’s Galway Bay, the beck-oning of the ocean beyond, this intrinsic pull would be more than her Meggie would be able to resist.Now, as Maureen scanned the shore to check on Meg-gie, her breath caught in her throat. Ripping off her apron and flinging it aside, she ran through the door and down the path, thinking she’d seen Meggie’s small body in the water. Even as she ran, though, her eyes remained trained on the beach, and it took a moment to realize that Meggie was safe on the shore. Thought after thought chased through Maureen’s brain like a slideshow in fast motion as her brain computed what her eyes were telling her. Her Meggie was on the shore, feet flirting with the waves, but unless she’d missed her guess, her true daughter, Meghan or whatever she was called now, was in the water, the two girls, the all-but-sisters, meeting for the first time. With a lump in her throat the size of the Blarney Stone, Maureen could only fearfully wonder, was Meghan steal-ing Meggie away, or was Meghan coming to meet her true mother? (To be continued…) DCHGSBy Marie CraigThe Davie County Historical and Genealogical Society began about 1987. This was the first year of their publica-tion, Davie Dossier. In these thirty-six years, 133 newslet-ters have been published so far. I have been editor since 2009, and it has been my pleasure to highlight interesting information about our county. These newsletters and an index are online at https://www.daviecountync.gov/1162/Local-History-and-Genealogy. Topics have ranged from Civil War letters to the first TV in the 50s in our county. Since all the Davie newspapers are online at this same link above, research has yielded some interesting subjects. Vintage photographs are so special to see and study. The Dossier of October 2016 describes the various techniques of taking pictures, caring for them, and sharing with your family. Methods through the years were tintype, cabinet cards, carte de vista, etc. Knowing the type can help date the photo. Other topics featured in newsletters are church-es, cemeteries, and family Bibles.In closely studying the population schedules of the census for 1840, 1850, and 1860, I discovered that there were almost 100 free black persons in our county in each of these years. The January issue in 2018 lists the names of these free persons. Some of them were still living with white families, but most were independent families.A recent issue is devoted to ancient ways of crossing Da-vie creeks and the Yadkin River. A 1941 business directory in the October 2019 issue lists the stores and companies in Davie County. The first courthouse in Mocksville is de-scribed in the October 2013 newsletter.Tours have been a part of the past history of the group. On Saturday, May 6, at Daniel Boone Festival on the square, van tours will be offered to see the many historic places in our county. Meetings are held the fourth Thursday at 7 p.m. in the History Room of Davie County Public Library. Sample topics are reviews of new books by the author, discussion of county projects, watching 1940 films taken by H. Lee Waters, history of monuments, and demonstration of tech-niques of research. The next meeting is Thursday, March 23 and the speaker will be Randell Jones who has researched and written 12 books about North Carolina history: Daniel Boone, Davy Crocket, the Revolutionary War, and others. The public is invited and encouraged to attend and possibly join our society. GenerationsBy Gaye HootsMemories of my parents and their parents tumble through my mind frequently. Listening to the twins describe the ac-tivities of their outdoor camp brought me back to the home overlooking the Yadkin River at the end of Peoples’ Creek Being among the first may not be best idea Being first has its rewards, but it may not be a true test.Driving by the Hwy. 55 diner on opening day Monday in Mocksville, the line at the drive-thru was around the building. Parking spaces were filled.It’s just another first day for a restaurant in Davie County.It seems that anytime a new restaurant comes to town, it creates quite the buzz. Everyone wants to try it at the same time, when they first open.I’ve never understood that.You may get the best the restaurant has to offer - or the worst.I don’t expect a restaurant to be at its best on opening day. I expect everyone there to be trying to do their best, but I think what we can really expect is a few months out. They’re still learning on opening day.But they can fool you. If the restaurant has any busi-ness sense, and I’m sure most do, they will be fully staffed at opening, maybe even a few extras from other sites, ones with experience on dealing with stressful sit-uations. In a few months, that extra experience and help may not be there. In a few months, supervision could change. In a few months, a lot could change.To test a restaurant’s real worth, try it a few times. Early on if you must, but wait a while and go again to see if the food and experience still meet your expecta-tions. Then go back again before deciding whether to put it on your regular restaurant rotation.Rarely say never again after one visit.Rarely expect the same treatment three months out as you get on opening day.There should be no hurry to be the first to dine at a restaurant. Chances are, the restaurant will be there for a while, although we had one site in Mocksville that ended up as three different restaurants during the same year. And chances are, the real experience of that restaurant is yet to develop.But most importantly, never take the advice of a newspaper columnist on when you should dine out and where. It’s none of our business, although you guys are fun to watch.- Mike Barnhardt DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, March 16, 2023 - 3 Presidential Mothers Renegade ... Continued From Page 1Road. We lived with Grandpa and Grandma Hoots until I was six years old. I remember Grandpa filling the washtub with water to warm in the sun to make a pool for me. He placed it where the shadow of the eve of the house covered it by the time the water warmed. He made me an Indian teepee, made and taught me how to shoot a bow and arrow, carved wooden knives, and made tom walkers from old tin cans and rope. Grandpa taught me to ride a bike and played various games with me.I wasn’t interested in indoor activities, but grandma did make me a version of her snuff from cocoa and sugar, which she put in an old Tube Rose can, and she made a brush from a sweetgum tree. She had an old Singer sewing machine that fascinated me too.My mother’s family was the one to celebrate Christmas and holidays. The family celebrated with delicious meals, presents, and cousins galore. Both sets of grandparents lived on working farms with various animals.My grandparents provided encouragement and support for all their grandchildren as long as they lived. They nev-er used physical discipline with us as they had their own children. and I gave them ample opportunity to exercise it.My parents encouraged an excellent work ethic, expect-ed good grades, and tried to keep us on the straight and narrow. Mother accompanied us to church each Sunday and lived by the rulebook. There were no gray areas to her, only black or white. Her family attended a Friends church, and she led a protected life with five brothers to watch out for her.My dad had a good sense of humor, and the ability to laugh at myself instead of crying has served me well. I provide for and guide my children, grandchildren, and one great-granddaughter the way I was taught, and each year passes faster than the one before.In March, my great-granddaughter will be seventeen years old, the same age I was when I married. All four generations attended Shady Grove School. All my great grandparents were taken before I was born, but my mother and her mother lived to see a fifth generation born.When I spend time on Facebook, I look at schoolmates who now have grandchildren and often great-grandchil-dren. I can remember many of our school experiences as if they were yesterday. Many of my friendships date back to first grade, over seventy years ago. The time I spend with family and friends is always a blessing, as is each new one.Our high school class is planning our 60-year reunion this year, and due to those who have provided a place to gather and kept communication open, we have maintained a strong bond. I will be seventy-eight in July, but I still feel like the same kid I was in school. We may be wiser and older, but I unsure about myself, as I still have my father’s sense of humor. Busy BeeBy Denise BellThe bees are getting busy these warm sunny days. They buzz about from the buttery, yellow daffodils over to the bountiful blooms of the fruit trees. A plethora of colors and fragrances for both the bee and me. As I watch these lively little drones, I wonder how “busy” they really are. One yellow and black creature that I observe doesn’t look that busy. I notice that this little one is stopping here and there. Not pollinating. Not working. He is just there. Thinking maybe? Putting new items on his list? Like “don’t forget to pollinate the daisies? Did he stop to smell the roses? I think I am busy as a bee sometimes, feeling over-whelmed by the things I need to give my attention to. The lists keep getting longer, it seems. Perhaps this is bee is sending a message to slow down and be like the bee. Busy but making time to observe all the beauty around me. How fortunate I am to be in such a beautiful place. How lovely the gardens look after I finish tending them. reminding me to make sure to spend a moment to appreciate the fruits of my labor.I will try to schedule these moments into my days. Espe-cially when I spend time working at the computer. What a great reward this could be for clearing up that pile of stuff that keeps accumulating on the end of my counter. I have been shuffling around it for weeks. I made a goal to trade a task scratched off my list for a short respite. Enjoy the garden, talk to the neighbors. En-joy a short walk through the woods, paying attention to the sounds surrounding you. Listen for the wind.Today I stopped my work to go out and pick a bouquet. The bouquet is at my desk, and the wonderful aroma of the blooms fills the room. There is a great smile on my face as I get back to my work. I am as busy as a bee!Happiest of spring to come! By Betty Etchison WestFor the Enterprise Martha Bullock, the daughter of Major James Stephens Bulloch and Mar-tha Elliott Bulloch, was called “Mittie.” She was born in Connecticut on July 8, 1835, but the family soon moved to Georgia. They lived in the town that would become Roswell, Ga. Mittie’s father became a partner in a cotton mill, and the family also owned a plantation where cotton was the main crop. The family owned 33 slaves, most of whom worked in the cotton fields, but some were house servants. It is said that Mittie had a “shadow,” a person, who stayed with her all of the time and who took care of her every need. The “shad-ow” even slept at the foot of Mittie’s bed. Major Bull-och built a mansion, called “Bulloch Hall,” which was where Mittie grew up. Mit-tie grew up to be a beautiful young lady, who loved the South. Theodore Roosevelt Sr. visited in the Bulloch home and was quite taken with Mittie. Mittie and Theodore finally fell in love. After an appropriate period of time, Mr. Roosevelt wrote to Mittie’s mother and asked if he could ask Mittie to marry him. He approached Mittie’s mother because her father had died. Mrs. Bull-och granted young Theo- dore the permission that he so desired. Mr. Roosevelt proposed, and Mittie said, “Yes.”At a beautiful Bulloch Hall wedding in 1853, Mit-tie became Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt. The Roosevelts moved to 28 E. 20th St. in New York City. Mittie moved to New York, but she was always an unrecon-structed confederate.The Roosevelts had four children: Anna, Theodore, Elliott, and Corinne. The children were aware of their Southern roots. The-odore Roosevelt referred to it in his writing. Theo-dore did not join the Union Army when the Civil War began because of his feel-ing for his mother and her love of the South. Theodore did hire a substitute to serve in his place.Martha Roosevelt was a lovely, charming lady but she was not strong. One writer used the word “sick-ly” in referring to Mrs. Roosevelt. The oldest Roo-sevelt daughter helped with the younger children. Theodore was also “sickly” as a child. His fa-ther did everything he could possibly do to help his son and nothing worked. Mr. Roosevelt finally told The-odore that he would have to cure himself. Theodore did that by undertaking an un-believable regimen of ex-ercise - which worked. He became a strong ambitious young man. Theodore Roosevelt, Sr. died an untimely death. His family was absolutely devastated but they had to carry on. His wife and other family members continued to live in their home at 6 W 57th St. in New York City where they had lived since they had moved from 28 E. 20th St. many years earlier.Theodore, Jr. continued to support his mother even as the unexpected hap-pened. Theodore fell deep-ly in love to a beautiful lady named Alice. Theodore and Alice got married in 1880. Theodore loved his wife dearly but that did not dampen his interest in poli-tics. He actually got elected to the New York State As-sembly in 1881. Alice, who was expecting a baby, was living in the house with her mother-in-law, while her husband was still serving in the New York Assembly in Albany. On a fateful day in February 1884, Theo-dore received a message that his wife was not doing well and that the baby was on the way. Theodore left immediately for New York City. When he got home he found the two most import-ant people in his life dying. His mother, who was only 48, died of typhoid fe-ver or typhus, and his wife, Alice, died of Bright’s dis-ease on the same day - Feb. 14, 1884. The grief was more than Theodore could bare so he left his baby girl with his sister, went to North Dakota, bought a ranch, and worked as a cowboy for two years be-fore finally returning to New York. Mrs. Martha Bulloch Roosevelt, the mother of 26th President of the Unit-ed States and the grand-mother of First Lady Elea-nor Roosevelt, the wife of the 32nd President of the United States, was buried at Green Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn, NY. (Elea-nor Roosevelt, the wife of Franklin D. Roosevelt, was the daughter of Elliott Roo-sevelt, the second son of Martha and Theodore Roo-sevelt Sr.) •Louisa Maria Torrey was born on Sept. 11, 1827 to Samuel Davenport Tor-rey and Susan Holman Waters Torrey. Louisa was born in Boston and grew up there. She graduated from Mount Holyoke College which is also located in Massachusetts. Louisa, or Louise as she was called, was a bit of an activ-ist. From 1846-1858, she and two other girls wrote anonymously, pretending to be three brothers, and published “The Yale Gal-linipper,” which criticized students, faculty and the Literary Magazine at Yale. That came to an end in 1852 when Louisa married Alphonso Taft, a widow-er who had two sons. Al-phonso and Louisa had five children, four who lived to adulthood. The Tafts had high expectations for their children. William Howard Taft, who enjoyed participating in sports, gave up sports at Yale University so he could concentrate on his academ-ic work because he knew his parents expected him to excel. He graduated from Yale second in his class. The Tafts lived in Cin-cinnati, Ohio, where Al-phonso Taft, Louisa’s hus-band, served as a Superior Court Judge. They lived in a beautiful house at 2038 Auburn Ave. It was at this house, which is now open to the public, that William Howard Taft, who became the 27th President of the United States, was born. In addition to being a busy mother, Louisa Taft was an active lady in her community. She organized a local kindergarten which became a statewide kin-dergarten movement. She organized art associations and book clubs. Mrs. Taft was a curious and adven-turous lady who took her family to many unusual places and afforded them unusual experiences. Loui-sa, of course, did that while supporting her husband and moving with him as he as-sumed different positions.When Alfonso Taft was appointed Secretary of War by President Grant, the family moved to Wash-ington, D.C. and remained there while Mr. Taft served as Grant’s Attorney Gener-al. He stepped down from when the next president was elected. In 1881 after Chester Arthur became President, Mr. Taft was appointed as Minister to Austria and then Minister to Russia. After those assignments, Alfonso Taft returned to Cincinnati. He died while visiting in San Diego, Ca-lif. in 1891 when he was 80. His body was returned to Cincinnati and was bur-ied Spring Grove Ceme-tery. Louisa Maria Torrey Taft was the wife of a Su-perior Court Judge, who became a Member of Pres-ident Grant’s Cabinet and a Foreign Minister; was the mother of President of the United States, William Howard Taft, who later served as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court; was the grandmother of Robert A. Taft and great-grand-mother of Robert A Taft Jr., both who served as U.S. Senators; and was the great-great grandmother of Robert A. Taft III, who was the Governor of Ohio from 1999-2007. Louisa Maria Taft, wife, mother, or the ancestor of many men who served their country honorably, died in 1907. She died less than a year after her son became President. She is buried in the Spring Grove Cemetery in Cincinnati, where her husband is buried. Alphonso and Louisa Taft’s son, William Howard Taft, who served as Pres-ident from 1909-1913. is buried at Arlington Nation-al Cemetery. He and John F. Kennedy are the only two Presidents who are buried at Arlington.

Troy is in the heart of the Uwharrie National For-rest, named by President Kennedy in 1961. His-torical markers are notable throughout the town. Andy Griffith’s wife, Barbara, came from Troy and they returned often to visit her family. Her dad was the county school superinten-dent.Bill Clinton visited Troy for a town hall meeting at the elementary school in 1994. The most prominent building in downtown is the Hotel Troy, first built in 1909 as a four-story hospital. It also housed a drug store, jewelry store, clothing store and grocery market before being con-verted to the hotel in 1920s.•Carthage was my next stop, Moore County’s seat. I ran 1.52 miles while dodging trucks carrying logs and lumber. The Car-thage courthouse sits right on the top of the hill in the center of town, with traffic heading east on one side and west on the other. To-bacco was long important to the economy here and a few remaining tobacco storage facilities are now used for other things.The farther east I went, more spectacular murals dominated the towns. Carthage resident James R. McConnell, highly deco-rated WWI aviator for the Lafayette Escadrille, died in the war and had the most impressive mural in Car-thage. Another well done mural noted the Tyson and Jones Buggy Company, one of Carthage’s major em-ployers from 1850-1929. A Tyson and Jones buggy was considered well-built and a certain status symbol. Andrew Johnson, 17th President and one-time resident, was honored by Moore County citizens for his calming influence dur-ing the bitter days of Civil War reconstruction.•My final visit of the day was Sanford, county seat of Lee County, where I did 1.63 miles. Early on, I was fortunate to find the future visitor center and Down-town Sanford Executive Director Kelli Laudate. Her office is in a renovated por-tion of the old depot. Kelli and I talked running and the strong wind blowing that afternoon in Sanford. She gave me information on the town and told me especially about the Temple Theatre, built in 1925, and an Elvis show, "All Shook Up," coming for two weeks in April. I plan to return for the show and hopefully visit a few other counties at the same time.Just outside Kelli’s office was the No. 12 steam loco-motive and railroad house museum in Depot Park. The museum wasn’t open, although the house is the oldest in Sanford, built in 1872. Sanford was born in 1871 and was once the only N.C. town serving four rail lines. I got that spectacular courthouse photo I was looking for in the 1908 Lee County Courthouse and also the town hall building.About a dozen murals already grace the town, one honoring the Tobacco State League Baseball Champions 1946,1947 and 1948, the Sanford Spinners. Another mural was being painted that same after-noon. An app tells the story of each mural.One final thought-pro-voking thing that I saw on my last block was a giant wall-sized chalkboard with this statement and about 60 blanks,“Before I die, I want to ...” I had to read them all.A grand day resulted in 6.13 miles in four county seats. Ninety-six more to go and I hope they are this much fun.Freeze is a runner with more than 100,000 miles and 20,000 cycling miles. He regularly writes about his travels for The Salis-bury Post.

The three bedroom, 2.5 bath homes would have garages and sell from $300,000 to $325,000 per unit, aimed at young families starting their careers.Commissioner Benita Finney spoke up, and said her son is starting a career as a school teacher and couldn’t afford one of the homes.Emory Crawford spoke against the rezoning re-quest at the public hearing, mainly citing traffic.Admitting that he has been part of the problem adding traffic to Farming-ton Road, he urged com-missioners to get ahead of the traffic situation before making a decision to add more.“The people north of the Shell station, all the way up to Farmington, are really worried about traffic more than anything,” Crawford said. He urged the county to conduct a traffic study and make plans on the road before deciding on such a development.Commissioner Richard Poindexter said the coun- ty has little say as to what improvements are made to Farmington Road, or when they are made. “We don’t get to tell the state what they’re going to do,” Poin-dexter said. “This property is in an area that needs to be developed as it is pro-posed.”He then made the motion to approve the rezoning re-quest. Terry Renegar made the second, calling the pro-posal “a nice transitional use” between commercial uses to the south and North Davie Middle and Davie High schools to the north. He agreed about the traffic needs. “They (N.C. Depart-ment of Transportation) move at a glacial pace and we can’t speed them up.”Commissioner Brent Shoaf said he isn’t knock-ing on doors to lure devel-opment to Davie County, but the proposed project makes sense. “In my heart, I just do not think it will create major impacts.”Finney cast the only no vote.

Another Obituary On Page B10 Death NoticesLucas David Chica, 3, of Statesville, died March 12, 2023.•Mr. Ted Thomas Chapman, 87, of Mocksville, died Tuesday, March 7, 2023. 12 - DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, March 16, 2023 Bless Your Spoon By Stephanie Williams Dean More ‘patriotic’ recipes www.ourdavie.com This week we’re celebrating March as Women’s History Month – the perfect time to focus on women who helped build and shape America. I want to point out one ground-breaking female artist who made contributions to cultural development in early America. A woman named Patience made a name for herself in sculpt-ing as America’s first professional female sculptor. Seeing how this is a food col-umn, you’re probably wondering what artists and sculptors have to do with ingredients, foods, or reci-pes. With fewer resources back in the old days, flour was used in many interesting ways, not just to make cakes.The daughter of a well-to-do Quaker family, Patience Lovell Wright was born in 1725 and grew up on a farm. To entertain herself, Patience enjoyed sculpting small figures made from wet flour. To decorate her dried figurines, the artist made colored paint by using the extracts of native plants. Patience married a Quaker farmer in 1748, and the couple eventually had 5 children. Patience would entertain her children by forming expres-sive faces out of moldable dough made from wet flour. As the story is told, Patience would shape figurines under her skirt and then delight her audience by pretending she had birthed a baby. Can’t you just hear the raucous laughter? She must have been quite a character – and quite creative.Sadly, Patience’s husband died when she was pregnant with their 5th child. But she continued to work on her art and later opened a studio. Patience became well known for her sculpting methods and works in molded wax. Much of her work didn’t survive, but one life-sized sculpture of William Pitt, the Earl of Chatham, still stands in London’s Westminster Abbey.As a way to honor the sacrifice of my Patriot ancestors, I recently joined the Elizabeth Maxwell Steel Chapter of NSDAR, National Society of Daughters of the American Revolution in Salisbury. We meet to foster good citizen-ship and to emphasize the duty of patriotism and privilege. Members give thanks and honor the memory of their pa-triot ancestors who dared to settle this land, aid in the cause of American independence, and build our nation. In keeping with their national motto of God, home, and country, February's program featured student essay win-ners who read personal writings that fell under topics of education, Americanism, and patriotism. The meeting was held in the messenger room of the Rowan Museum where members brought finger foods – a collection of traditional recipes to be shared with students and their parents. The tasty, simple, old-fashioned desserts and savory snacks were made with ... flour. Like the Elizabeth Maxwell Steele Chapter, established on Dec. 29, 1898, these foods are some of our long-endur-ing and personal favorites, still relevant in today's culinary scene. I like to think of them as rooted in legacy and hon-ored by time. The dessert recipes are ones we go back to again and again – our go-to’s – and often part of our fam-ily’s culinary history, as well. And all just as American as apple pie. May we all strive to protect and preserve our heritage so we continue to live in freedom and peace.

Here’s where we shake our heads and say, “That’s base-ball.”In the first meeting at home, the War Eagles smothered Reynolds 11-1 in six innings. Things changed when Reynolds’ ace got the ball for the rematch in Winston-Salem. Conner Frail carried the Demons to a 2-1 upset by navigating seven innings in just 75 pitches. “That was one of the best pitch-ing performances I’ve seen,” coach Joey Anderson said. Davie 11, Reynolds 1The War Eagles had no trou-ble taking round one against the visiting Demons on March 7. Everything clicked in a run-rule beating in the Central Piedmont By Brian PittsEnterprise Record It was an emotional roller coast-er for the Davie varsity softball team last week. Against visiting Forbush, the War Eagles pulled off one of the greatest comebacks you’ll ever see, erasing a 7-2 deficit in the bottom of the seventh inning and winning 8-7. They had another dramatic rally at East Forsyth, turning a 4-1 deficit into a 5-4 lead in the top of the seventh. But East’s walk-off hit in the bottom half negated the joy of that comeback as Davie lost 6-5 in Central Piedmont Confer-ence play. Davie 8, Forbush 7When the Falcons put up four runs on three hits, a walk and an error in the top of the sixth to extend their lead to 7-2, Davie’s hopes seemed sunk. But the War Eagles pulled off the unlikely in the bottom of the seventh on March 6. The rally was sparked by the No. 7 batter as Hanna Steinour singled on the first pitch. Riley Potts singled, and with one out, Raelyn Lankford walked. Then Davie was aided by Forbush miscues. Two runs scored when Carleigh Croom reached on an error. Hits by Summer Simpson and Sydney Dirks pulled Davie within 7-6, but the next batter got out and Forbush was one out from finally nailing it down. It couldn’t close the deal. Jaydn Davis reached on an error. Stei-nour’s ball was also errored and Dirks came flying home to clinch an exhilarating win. “It’s like the wheels fell off for Forbush,” coach Nathan Handy said. “Once we got the snowball effect started, it just didn’t stop. I don’t think I’ll ever be a part of a By Brian PittsEnterprise Record Davie’s showing at Pine Knolls Golf Club was a sweet flip-the-script moment for the War Eagles, who have finished fourth or fifth in the Central Piedmont Conference for eight years running. But before the War Eagles end-ed a long drought in Kernersville, they took a backward step for the second time in as many meets at Pudding Ridge on March 6. Their 17-over 157 was reminiscent of the disappointing season opener at Meadowlands. Pudding Ridge was the site for the Central Piedmont Conference opener. Davie was bested by Rea-gan (153) and Reynolds (154). Mt. Tabor (161), East Forsyth (167) and West Forsyth (173) rounded out the team scores. Although it wasn’t enough to avoid third place, Davie got ex-actly what it needed from junior Cooper Drum, who matched his career best with a 1-over 36. Last year he shot 1-over scores at Maple Chase and Meadowlands. Colby Moore and Anderson Be-liveau had 40s, and Walker Jones and Landon Packard had 41s. •••The War Eagles turned their By Brian PittsEnterprise Record The Davie varsity soccer team is still looking for its first win, but it did leave a home nonconference game against North Davidson on March 8 with a confidence-build-ing tie. Davie (0-2-1) went toe to toe with an opponent that went 16-5-3 and made a deep run in the 2022 3-A playoffs. “We played well,” coach Corbin Kopetzky said after the 1-1 final. Softball follows dramatic win with painful loss “We moved the ball well. The first half was the best half we’ve played this season, and they’re a very good team. They made it to the semifinals last year, so it was nice to see us competitive with the 3-A state semifinalist. We’re very similar teams.”After a scoreless first half, Jaden Sink gave Davie the lead when her free kick was deflected into the net.

Davidson Please See Soccer - Page B5 Drum, golfers first in CPC Please See Golf - Page B3 crazier bottom of the seventh.“Hanna came up big. We told her she has to put the ball in play, put the pressure on the defense and crazy things can happen.”Davie erased Forbush’s 2-0 lead in the fourth. Dirks blasted a homer, Leah Grimes doubled, and Grimes advanced to third on Davis’ bunt and to home on Stei-nour’s flyout. Lankford (2-2, two walks), Simpson (2-4) and Dirks (2-4, two RBIs) fueled the offense, and Potts was strong in the circle, walking one and striking out 11. But Davie was fortunate to overcome some defensive shortcomings, with three errors resulting in five unearned runs for Forbush. “We let three pop flies hit the ground - I mean three catchable balls,” Handy said. “As dirty as the game was, we were proud of them for continuing to fight. No one quit, no one gave up. It took six and a half innings for us to come alive, but it finally happened.”EF 6, Davie 5The War Eagles staged anoth-er magical rally in a CPC battle at East Forsyth on March 10, but they left Kernersville with a gut-wrenching loss. Now they need a hard defensive reset after committing five errors and giving up four unearned runs. “You can’t make five errors and expect to win the game,” Handy said. “Without those errors, we win the game. Like I’ve said before, we’re young.”Davie made four errors in the bottom of the sixth, resulting in three East runs and a 4-1 deficit. Davie’s offense, though, didn’t wobble. With the visitors needing at least three runs in their final at-bat, Dirks doubled down the See Softball - Page B2 Baseball bounces back from tough loss Conference opener. Pitching Jaydon Holder was completely locked in, throwing a four-hitter with two walks and 14 strikeouts. He fired 62 strikes in 84 offerings, faced five over the minimum and rung up the most Ks in 65 games. The senior’s ERA through two starts is an eye-catch-ing 0.70. “Jaydon’s performance was exceptional,” Anderson said. “He attacked the bottom half of their order. There was only one kid that put a couple good swings on him.”Davin Whitaker (2-4, double) and Jackson Sink (2-3, three RBIs) were the top sticks as Davie pushed at least one run across in all six at-bats. One of the most compelling aspects of the game was seeing whether Coy James could extend an astounding streak. When he singled on an 0-2 pitch in the first inning, he was 8 for 8 on the sea- son. The consecutive hits streak was snapped in the third, when he was hit by a pitch. He reached base in nine straight at-bats until he flew out to right in the fourth. The War Eagles, who defeated Reynolds for the seventh straight time, got one hit from James (1-3), Brady Marshall (1-2, two walks, double, three steals), Drew Krause (1-3) and Ty Miller (1-2). Holder’s 14 Ks were the most since Carson Whisenhunt racked up 17 in an 8-1 win over West Rowan in March of 2019.

Davie’s JV baseball team erupted for seven runs in the top of the first inning and held on for a 10-8 decision at East Surry on March 8. The first-inning on-slaught featured six hits. After Gray Collins led off by reaching on one of two East errors in the inning, Larson Stem and Carson Queen cracked back-to-back doubles. The next two batters were retired, but the next five reached safely as Daywalt singled, Parker Davis singled, Logan Allen reached on an error, Kason Stewart singled and Collins doubled. After building a com-fortable 10-1 lead, the War Eagles coasted to victory. Rough week for JV softballAfter outscoring its first two opponents 21-2, Davie’s JV softball team experienced a rocky week, losing at home to Forbush and North Lincoln and on the road to East Forsyth. The scores against Forbush and N.

I said: ‘Open your stance, it’s coming inside and just be you.’ She hit a shot down the third-base line. That’s two games that Hanna has come through big for us. That shows her growth from freshman to sophomore. She’s really seizing her op-portunities.”When Lankford got a single up the middle, Davie had a 5-4 lead. “I basically told Raelyn the same thing,” Handy said. “Open your stance a little and be ready for an inside pitch. It fell in no-man’s land.” Davie was three outs from a 2-0 start in the CPC, but East refused to roll over. The first two batters walked on fullcount pitches. Both runners advanced into scor-ing position on a fielder’s choice, and then came a two-run hit on an 0-2 pitch. The ninth straight loss in the series felt like a gut punch. Davie had self-in-flicted wounds to blame. “Riley did her job the entire game and our defense didn’t quite support her enough,” Handy said. “That put a lot of pressure on her to come through in the bottom of the seventh.”It was business as usual for Dirks, who went 3 for 3 with a double. Her offensive work through six games leaps off the page: .611 av-erage (11-18). “She’s got a really good bat path,” he said of the Western Carolina signee. “It doesn’t matter where you try to pitch her, she’s going to put the ball in play. She’s just been on fire. She laid down a perfect bunt (for a hit). She’s just an all-around offensive player. I asked her: ‘How many times have you bunted in your career?’ She said that was the first.”Notes: Riding pitcher Kierston Deal (Oklahoma), East went 19-2 and reached the final four in 2021 and went 27-3 and finished as state runner-up last year. It went 22-0 in the CPC the past two years. ... The new pitcher for East (3-1, 2-0) is senior Alex Brown, who pitched all seven against Davie and walked none. ... Davie is 4-2, 1-1. ... Croom was robbed twice by East. “Croom hit two hard shots, one up the middle and the pitcher barely got it,” Handy said. “She hit another shot and the second baseman didn’t have to move. She just stuck her glove up.” ... Five War Eagles are hit-ting .400 or better, includ-ing Simpson (.500, 10-20), Lankford (.500, 9-18), Da-vis (.437, 7-16) and Grimes (.400, 6-15). ... Between the Forbush/E. Forsyth games, Davie breezed past lowly Reynolds at home, 17-0. Lankford cranked her sec-ond homer and Croom (2-2), Simpson (3-3) and Davis (3-3) had multiple hits in a 2.5 inning game. ... It was Davie’s 54th straight win over Reynolds. That’s Right.

State Fairgrounds.In addition, the buck scored 170 4/8 points, enough to earn entrance into the Boone & Crockett Club’s all-time record book – again, the first North Carolina woman to be so honored – and the buck, the biggest ever killed by a woman in North Caro-lina, was one-eighth inch short of tying the record for the biggest North Caroli-na buck ever killed with a blackpowder weapon.But when she squeezed Karen Nielsen (right) with her Best in Show buck from 2023 Dixie Deer Classic. At left, Mickey Wilson with his non-typical Orange County buck; and above, Preston Allred and his award-winner from Caswell County. the trigger of her .50-cal-iber CVS Wolf muzzle-loader, she thought she was shooting at a big 8-pointer, not the 10-point king of the forest where she was hunt-ing.“We did have him on (trail) cameras a couple of times, more in the evening, late, and our neighbors had seen him,” Nielsen said. “We had some other nice bucks on camera, too.”When the buck raised its head from behind a log, 30 yards from her stand, Nielsen looked through the scope on her muzzleloader and decided this was a big 8-pointer she knew about. It wasn’t until long after she’d pulled the trigger that she realized exactly what she’d killed.Her stand was in a spot with scattered oak trees, along a creek with a swampy bottom, complete with a pile of corn and pea-nuts. She had been the host at a sleepover for her nine grandkids – she watches them all while their parents work – and was raring to go the day after, even if it ap-peared to be an awful day for hunting.“It was one of those yucky 80-degree days we had,” she said. “Where I was sitting, two days earli-er I had heard a deer stop and make some noise, and I thought it was a doe. The deer came back that day, doing the same thing. I saw the deer come out from be-hind some brush, and there was a log – I couldn’t see its head behind the log. Then, after he lifted up his head, I thought it was a good 8-pointer.“I looked through the scope, I moved the cross-hairs back behind the shoul-der, and I got my breathing settled down. I was think-ing about what my boys tell me all the time.”With the deer broadside, she let fly, and after the smoke had cleared, Niel-sen saw the buck head off to her right, stumble, then head out of sight.It was about 6 p.m. when she shot, and she stayed in her tree stand for about 40 minutes. When she came down, she had a regular menagerie of grown chil-dren and grandchildren on site to help her look.“There was no blood,” Nielsen said, “and I began to think I’d blown it.”But 20 minutes later, with her relatives spread throughout the woods, she heard a son and grand-daughter sing out at the same time that they’d found her buck, shot through the heart and quite dead.But it was not just a “good” 8-pointer, but a 185-pound buck with a monstrous, 5x5 typical rack that had only 4+ inches of deductions from a gross score of 175 – with 170 be-ing the Boone & Crockett Club qualifying score.Nielsen’s buck was just smaller than a 10-point Rockingham County tro-phy killed in 1987 by the late Lindsey Watkins, a buck that has held the No. 1 spot among deer killed in North Carolina with a blackpowder weapon.Nielsen’s was not the only big buck that showed up in Raleigh. Perry Bagley of Winter-ville. a suburb of Green-ville, killed an enormous non-typical buck in Sas-katchewan, Canada last fall that scored 223 6/8 inches.

I don’t know many teams that would have beat-en him that night. He was 86-88 and his curveball was working. He was putting his fastball on the corners, and he was putting it up, down and around.”Davie got on the board first. Krause opened the third with a single, courte-sy-runner Craig McBride stole second and James rifled a run-scoring, one-out triple. James, though, was left standing at third, a missed opportunity that would come back to haunt the War Eagles. Reynolds took advantage of a two-out error in the third and tied the game at 1. (Three Davie errors, com-pared to zero by Reynolds, was one reason this one ended in disappointment.)The Demons found a way to scratch in the sixth. The first batter walked, advanced to second on a groundout, took third on a wild pitch and scored on a two-out single. With his team down one, Marshall sparked hope by leading off the seventh with a two-strike hit. Sink did his job and put down a bunt that pushed Marshall into scoring position. But Frail got the next two batters to secure the Demons’ first win over Davie since March of 2018. They had lost 12 of 13 in the series. Marshall and Krause both went 2 for 3. The other three hits came from James (1-3), Ty Goodson (1-3) and Sink (1-2). Davie couldn’t complain about its pitching. Rodg-ers threw two-hit ball for four innings and offset four walks with eight Ks. His ERA through two starts (0.87) is similar to Holder’s. Berg worked the last two frames. At this point, James, who hit safely in 21 of 25 games as a freshman, had gotten a hit in 25 of 29 career games. Davie 5, AC 3Two days following the stinging loss, Davie picked up a gritty home win over Alexander Central in non-conference action. “I scheduled them two times because that allows us to see where we’re at,” Anderson said. “(AC coach) Pete Hardee does a real good job and his teams are always pretty good. That was a good win for us.”Davie only managed three hits, but all three were clutch. With two outs in the second, Sink walked, ad-vanced on a wild pitch and scored on Krause’s single. Cooper Bliss walked and speedster McBride scored on another wild pitch. The Cougars (4-2) took the upper hand with a three-run third, but Davie flipped the contest back into its fa-vor in the fourth. Bliss’ bunt moved Sink and Krause into scoring position. With two outs, James came through with a two-run double down the third-base line. When Bounces ... Aderhold reached on one of AC’s two errors - this time it was Davie that was flawless in the field - Davie had an insurance run and the 5-3 lead. “We had three key hits,” Anderson said. “We’ve out-hit the other team and still lost, so it was a payback win for us. We put balls in play and made them make plays.“Drew simplified it and did what we had talked about. He shortened his swing up and hit line drives. “Coy finally got a pitch that hung on the inside. They kind of had his number early and had him fishing, but he was big in that situation.”From there, Dave relied on relievers Berg and Bliss. Berg notched his first varsity win by shutting AC out for 2.1 innings; he lowered his ERA through three relief stints to a shiny 1.00. Bliss supplied the punctuation mark by striking out two in the seventh - not bad for a guy who had worked 1/3 of an inning as a varsity pitch-er - as he gracefully worked around a leadoff double. Cole Whitaker made his first varsity start and went 3.2 innings. “Connor did real well, especially after (taking the loss against Reynolds),” Anderson said. “We wanted the meat of their order to see something different and Cooper did a real good job.”Notes: Krause went 2 for 3 as Davie avenged a 4-3 loss in Taylorsville on Feb. 28. ... Davie entered the week 3-2 overall. ... The top three averages be-long to James (.625, 10-16), Marshall (.363, 4-11) and Krause (.357, 5-14). Davie was beaned three times by Reynolds pitchers, with Parker Aderhold (left) taking two for the team. At right, Coy James takes one in the back.

Sink was terrific as usual, but she had plenty of help as Davie held a second straight opponent to one goal. “Sarah Andrade played excellent,” Kopetzky said. “If there was a ball, she was there. Lauren Colamarino moves the ball very well in the middle. She does exactly what I expect her to do, and she holds the middle down with Emily Garner. Emily plays lights out. She was all over the place. Sometimes she’s too aggressive, but she’s where she needs to be to make plays happen.“Riley Almond had a really good game. They attacked her a lot and she held her own pretty well. Lexi Kulis is coming back from an injury. We got her some minutes and I know what I’m getting out of her every day.” Soccer ... Davie’s JV soccer team is coming off a winless season, but it put up a good fight in the first game of the season, losing 2-1 at home to North Davidson on March 8. Caylee Willard scored as Davie carried a 1-0 lead to halftime. North punched in two late goals to deny the War Eagles. “We had them shut out for 55 or 60 minutes,” coach Collin Ferebee said. “It was our first game, so a lot of these girls hadn’t played together yet, so chemistry wasn’t quite there. But I was pleased with what I saw.”Davie went 0-8 in 2022. Ferebee has replaced Megan Baker as coach. Baker guid-ed the JV for one year.

In two games, she struck out 26 batters in 12 innings and she also belted two home runs in one game. The start of the season was immensely satisfying for the Tigers, who defeated Ellis and Wesleyan Chris-tian Academy. “It’s got to be the first time South has started with two wins in I don’t know how long,” coach Donnie Brown said. “We won three games last year and two the year before that.”In a home game against Ellis on March 7, Phelps punched out 13 batters on strikes and Addie Brown smashed her first middle school homer as South pounded the Jaguars 8-2. Brown went 2 for 2, while Phelps and Scarlett Brock both went 2-3. “She’s hit a bunch (of homers) in travel ball, but never in middle school,” Brown said of his daughter. SD 10, WCA 0Phelps put on an all-around clinic in a 10-0 home win over Wesleyan on March 9. She pitched a perfect game (five innings), striking out 13 of 15 batters, and went 2 for 2 with two homers. They were the first hom-ers of Phelps’ life. “She had a freaking stellar game,” Brown said. “She was pretty pumped.”The Trojans put two balls in play. Allison Cothren and The Ellis soccer team opened the season by win-ning three games in three days. The Jaguars pulled out a 2-1 win at Canterbury on March 6 behind the scoring of Kate Chaffin and Aada-lyn Steelman and the goal keeping of Addison Cline, a sixth grader who played beyond her years in her first ever game. One day later at South Ty Sain and Blake French combined for four hits and seven RBIs as North Davie’s baseball team domi-nated 14-7 at North Carolina Leadership Academy on March 7. Sain went 2 for 4 with five RBIs and French went 2 for 3 with two RBIs and two runs as the Wildcats raced to a 14-1 lead through four and a half innings. Tanner Steinour (1-2) doubled and scored two runs, and Jack Greer (1-3) knocked in two. “Our middle of the lineup - Sain and French - cranked out some big hits with men on base,” coach Trevor Gooch said. Gooch used four arms, getting two innings from Ty Greene, 1.1 each from Alex Bowles and Nolan Allen By Brian PittsEnterprise Record Davie’s tennis team has a three-match losing streak for the first time in eight years, but coach Shane Nixon had few complaints after three matches in five days. His War Eagles poured everything they had into the battles against Reagan, Mt. Tabor and Grimsley. They just ran into superior oppo-nents, with all three margins being 6-3. “We went to play the No. 6 team in 4-A on their courts and gave them all they wanted,” Nixon said af-ter the nonconference match at Grimsley. “I scheduled Grimsley because I want our kids to have a chance to play against good teams and teams we don’t see every day, but might run into in the postseason.”Reagan 6, Davie 3The War Eagles knew they might struggle for answers when they faced Reagan and Mt. Tabor in a span of three days. Burke Rosenbaum and Bryce Bai-ley accounted for all three wins as Davie fell at home to Reagan on March 6. How good was Rosen-baum in singles/doubles? His aggregate score was 20-1, including 6-0, 6-0 at No. 1 singles. Bailey rolled 6-1, 6-4 at No. 2 singles, and the duo romped 8-1 at No. 1 doubles. Rosenbaum came up with an extraordinary play in doubles. “I happened to be stand-ing next to Reagan’s coach, Scott Larson, and Burke ran from one side of the baseline all the way across and turned his racket in an impossible angle,” Nixon said. “Just to get to the ball was one thing. To get a racket on it, that was amazing by itself. But he got the ball back in. Coach Larson looked at me and said: ‘There are some pros who can’t make that shot.’ I’ve said before that one of Burke’s best attributes are his hands. Shots like that prove me right. He’s incredible.”Bailey dug a 4-1 hole in the second set of his singles match. He shrugged that off and didn’t lose another game. “Bryce never lost his swagger,” Nixon said. “Down 4-1, he looked at me and said: ‘Don’t worry, I’m going to win this set.’ He plays with such confi-dence, it is fun to watch. And (Rosenbaum and Bai-ley) put on a clinic in dou- bles every time out.”Mt. Tabor 6, Davie 3There’s a good chance the top four players in the Central Piedmont Confer-ence were on the 1-2 courts when Davie hosted Tabor on March 8. Rosenbaum and Bailey were both 3-0 when the day began. Yes, both went down against the Spartans’ top guns, but their No. 1, who handed Rosen-baum just the fourth singles loss of his Davie career, is off-the-charts good. “(Those four players) put on a show,” Nixon said. “The scores look lopsided, but this was really good tennis. Adam Cartwright is Tabor’s No. 1 and he hits the ball as hard as anyone play-ing high school tennis. Land Wyshner is Tabor’s No. 2 and his dad is the women’s coach at Wake Forest, so he has access to the best train-ing and equipment - not to mention he is a really good player. And yet Burke and Bryce went out there and battled. Just a good day to watch tennis at a high level.”Davie’s three victories came from a freshman, sophomore and junior. Nixon heaped praise on freshman Jackson Hepler, a 6-0, 6-1 winner at No. 4; sophomore Hayden Key, a 6-0, 6-3 winner at No. 6; and Key/junior Slade Keaton, an 8-3 winner at No. 3 doubles. “If you had told me both Burke and Bryce would lose and yet we’d still have a chance after singles, I’d have said that was unlikely,” Nixon said. “But a fresh-man and a sophomore made me rethink that. Jackson, playing in only his second varsity match, was unbeliev-ably good. Jackson hits the ball with some pace, and he plays with confidence that I really like. “Hayden moved down the lineup after challenge matches, and I hoped that wouldn’t affect his play. He played his best tennis as a War Eagle in singles and doubles.”Davie could get Tabor the next time around. Zach Hill (6-1, 2-6, 8-10 at No. 3) and Sean Lane (6-4, 4-6, 8-10 at No. 5) fell just short in their matches. “Sean played the second set and the tiebreaker with a quarter-sized blister on his right (strong) hand,” Nixon said. “Zach got behind in his tiebreaker, but battled back hard. I won’t ever be happy losing a (tiebreaker), but all things considered, I can live with these.”Grimsley 6, Davie 3Considering how short-handed Davie was against powerful Grimsley, Nix-on felt pride when he left Greensboro on March 10. “We got beat by a better team,” he said. “That said, we were without Sean Lane, who had to sit out with the blister. Grayson Busse is still battling back from the stomach flu, and Slade was on a family trip. So three guys who play regu-larly were not completely available. Grayson played doubles but was clearly not himself. My guys gave me maximum effort. I can han-dle this loss. We got better today.”Rosenbaum dug deep to pull out a 6-1, 3-6, 13-11 victory. Key survived a 7-6, 6-4 barnburner at No. 5. And Rosenbaum/Bailey ran their doubles record to 4-1 with an 8-4 decision. “Burke played a whale of a match,” he said. “This match was incredible. To play a long, drawn-out one like that and then walk right back out there and win in doubles, Burke showed his mettle today.“Hayden was on the court for over two hours like Burke. Hayden is really playing well. His future is bright. I was proud of Bryce. He did not play his game in singles, but he put it behind him and helped Burke get that doubles win.”Notes: The War Eagles have lost three straight to Reagan. ... They are 2-2 in the CPC. ... This is their first three-match slide since 2015, when Tabor, Reyn-olds and Reagan beat Davie consecutively. But Nixon is not discouraged. “With two sophomores and a freshman in the lineup (at Grimsley), the future is bright,” he said. Serenity Miller, who split time at first base, gobbled both up and touched first for the out. Brown and Brock both went 2 for 2. Brown roped two doubles and Brock hit a triple. ND WinsLandry Parsons had two doubles and a single as North Davie blew out North Carolina Leadership Acade-my on the road on March 7. North got two hits from Jayda Steele, Audrina Bled-soe and Calloway Spillman. One of Steele’s hits was a triple. Kinley Pasquet and Par-sons combined for eight strikeouts in the circle. Ellis 11, ND 7Steele (.750 season aver-age) went 3 for 3 with two RBIs, but it wasn’t enough to prevent a loss to Ellis on March 9. Bledsoe went 2 for 3 with two RBIs. Jaynie Pat-ton, Hayden Gavura and Spillman had one hit each for North. Phelps pitches perfect game for South Davie Davie, Charlotte Watson and Ellis crushed the Tigers 9-1. Watson pumped in four goals. Olivia Smith and Steelman had two each and Gracyn Coleman one. At North Davie on March 8, Chaffin scored twice and goalies Keylin Andrade and Cline combined for a shutout as Ellis blanked the Wildcats 4-0. Watson and Makenna McGowan had the other two goals. What makes the fast start all the more impressive is Ellis has zero eighth graders. “Dan Cagle, a long-time coach who has coached sev-eral different levels through-out the area, is leading the team,” coach Mike Morgan said. “McGowan, Coleman, Smith, Kate Scott, Maken-zie Willard, Piper Davis, Addison Lakey and Grace Gilliam have played stifling defense in all three games.” and the final out from Wade Ridenhour. Greene struck out four. Gooch said the defensive player of the game was catcher Tanner Steinour. ND 4, Ellis 3Ellis loaded the bases in the top of the sixth and seventh innings but failed to score as North Davie prevailed on March 8. Sain earned the save by striking out the final batter looking with the bases full. Ian Patton (4.2 innings, six Ks) and French (two scoreless innings) threw until Gooch turned to Sain with two outs in the seventh. “Ian had a quality start by throwing low, hard strikes and mixing in some off-speed pitches,” Gooch said. “Blake and Ty pitched well in relief.”The Wildcats, who jumped ahead 4-1 and ulti-mately improved to 3-1, got two hits from Steinour and Patton and one from Hayden Potts and Greer. “Tanner continued his hot bat and was solid as a rock behind the plate block-ing balls in the dirt,” he said. “Ian also helped himself at the plate.”Brandon Forrest threw the first five innings for El-lis. Easton Sanders relieved and fanned two of three batters in the sixth. But it was a frustrating loss for the Jaguars, who a day earlier opened the season with a 19-3 rout of South Davie. “We lost a heartbreak-er,” coach Mike Dinkins said. “They did not score an earned run.” Ellis soccer races to 3-0 ND’s Sain nails down win Nixon finds positives in tough stretch Zach Hill is the No. 3 seed for Davie.

One of 11 children, she was born in Iredell County in 1937 to the late William Coite and Vagie Martin Church of Iredell. In 1955 Louann graduated from Harmony High School; where she was a school bus driver and a member of the basketball team, Beta Club, Future Homemakers of America, and other clubs.In 1958 Louann mar-ried fellow Harmony High schoolmate Parks Jones of County Line. She joined him in worship at Clarks-bury Methodist Church. The couple settled on Rim-rock Road just off NC 901 and reared their five daughters. The family be- came active members of Clarksbury; Louann sang in the choir and had served as church treasurer and on committees.She joined Parks in working at the Jones family grocery; the store was well-known for its fresh meats, country cured hams, and homemade sausage and liv-ermush. A big supporter of school and sports, she loved going to games involving her children and grandchil-dren. She helped start the Iredell County Athletic As-sociation of North Iredell.A service celebrating her life was held Friday after-noon at Clarksbury Meth- odist Church, where she had been a faithful member. She was laid to rest in the church cemetery beside her beloved Parks, who died January 2016. Louann's support and contribution to our Coun-ty Line community news through the years has been greatly appreciated. Louann volunteered to join our news team as our primary contact for the Clarksbury area when our news began in September 2003. Until her health declined sever-al years ago, she faithful-ly contributed Clarksbury items of interest weekly and also shared treasured fam-ily photos and data for our "News Flashbacks." Again, her support and contribution through the years has been greatly appreciated. Our community sends get-well wishes to Kay Beck, who was to have back surgery this week. Agnes A. Wooten remains in re-hab at Bermuda Commons of Davie. Alice C. Waugh remains in rehab at Davie Nursing and Rehabilitation Center.Join us in prayer for the Lord's divine healing upon Kay, Agnes, Alice, and oth-ers who are having health problems. Pray for the Lord's comfort and support upon the family of Louann as they deeply miss her presence in their lives.Remember in prayer the family of Eloise Coc-keram, who died Friday of last week; she was a sis-ter of the late Thomasend Gaither and aunt of Vickie Turner-Brown and Kenny Turner. Continue to pray for those residents affected by the coronavirus and its variants, the residents of California affected by the continual rains and floods, and the citizens of Ukraine as they fight for their de-mocracy.Send news and memories to Shirley on 336-492-5115 or email sdtlink@hotmail.com.

Dr. Harold Edwin Fuller Jr.The Reverend Dr. Harold Edwin Fuller Jr., 94, of Win-ston-Salem, passed away peacefully March 11, 2023, in the company of his family. He was born on Aug. 10, 1928 in Norwood, Mass. to the late Harold Edwin and Mary McIver Scott Fuller. After graduating from Boston College in 1950, he began his career in ed-ucation in Greenville, S.C. Upon completion of his master’s degree in educa-tion from the University of North Carolina, Harold taught sixth grade and was later served as principal of Royal Elementary School in Florence, S.C. During his time in Florence, he attended the First Presbyterian Church and it was there he felt the call to enter the ministry. While attending Columbia Theological Seminary in De-catur, Ga., he met Betty Attwood and they were married on Dec. 28, 1954. Afterward he began his first pastorate at Dallas Presbyterian Church in LaGrange, Ga. Harold served in the U.S. Navy Reserves for several years before transitioning to active-duty service as a Navy Chaplain assigned Norfolk, Va. in 1957. After completion of his service commitment, Harold worked with the Board of Christian Education of the Presbyterian Church serving as Director of Church School Administration in Richmond, Va. Later, Harold served as the pastor for Tabb Street Pres-byterian Church in Petersburg, Va. from 1966 to 1969, and as the guidance counselor at John Tyler Community College from 1969-1973. While in Chester he assumed the duties as pastor for Ampthill Presbyterian Church outside Richmond. During this time, he completed his Doctorate of Education degree from the University of Virginia accept-ing an appointment in the Humanities department of High Point College upon graduation. It was during this time he shared the pulpit as a visiting pastor at the Jamestown Presbyterian Church. In 1977, he was called to Parkway Presbyterian Church in Winston-Salem, serving as pastor until his retirement in August 1993. Harold has served as Pastor Emeritus at Parkway Presbyterian Church since his retirement.In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by: his wife, Betty Attwood Fuller; and son, Thomas Attwood Fuller. Survivors include: 3 children, Edwin Scott Fuller (wife, Andrea), John Morgan Fuller (wife, Anike) and Mary Eliz-abeth Gray (husband, Fred); and daughter-in-law, Martha Phillips.

Services will be held at Parkway Presbyterian Church on March 18 at 12:30 p.m. Visitation will be at the church one hour prior to the service.
