I arrived in Lincolnton, county seat of Lincoln County, about 9 a.m. and the same time that a heavy downpour hit the area. I had a new FroggToggs rain jacket and put it to work.Chartered in 1813, Lincolnton was founded on the 1780 Revolu-tionary War Ramsour’s Mill battle site, a small battle won by the independence forces.Expecting not much activity, I was pleasantly surprised to find good things happening.

And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre. And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus. And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed there-about, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments: And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead? He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee, Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again. And they re-membered his words, And returned from the sepulchre, and told all these things unto the eleven, and to all the rest. It was Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and other women that were with them, which told these things unto the apostles. And their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they believed them not. Then arose Peter, and ran unto the sepulchre; and stooping down, he beheld the linen clothes laid by themselves, and departed, wondering in himself at that which was come to pass.John 3:16For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begot-ten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.Acts 12:4And when he had apprehended him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him; intending after Easter to bring him forth to the people.Romans 5:8But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.Romans 1:44 And declared to be the Son of God with power, ac-cording to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:Matthew 28:1-20In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre. And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it. His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow: And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men. And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you. 8 And they de-parted quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word. And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him. Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me. Now when they were going, behold, some of the watch came into the city, and shewed unto the chief priests all the things that were done. And when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave large mon-ey unto the soldiers, Saying, Say ye, His disciples came by night, and stole him away while we slept. And if this come to the governor’s ears, we will persuade him, and secure you. So they took the money, and did as they were taught: and this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this day. Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them. And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted. And Jesus came and spake unto them, say-ing, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.John 11:25-26Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this? Don’t Let a Gift Go to WasteBy Stephanie Williams DeanThere are passages in the Bible that clearly reflect God’s dislike for wastefulness – not in opportunity, word, time, or food. Paul instructs us in Ephesians 5:15, “Be very careful, then how you live – not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity because the days are evil.” While I think of our days as beautiful, I understand Paul’s warning to us to be wise, do good, and not give in to that which is not. We must stay focused and vigilant. Regarding wasted words, in 1 Peter 3:10, Peter says, “Whoever would love life and see good days must keep his tongue from evil and his lips from deceitful speech.” And in Proverbs 10:19, Solomon’s words say, “When words are many, sin is not absent, but he who holds his tongue is wise.” Regarding how we spend our time, Proverbs 14:23 tells us, “All hard work brings a profit, but mere talk leads only to poverty.” Make your time count by being productive and doing good. In John 6:12, after His disciples had eaten, Jesus in-structed, “Gather the pieces that are left over. Let nothing be wasted.” After that, the disciples gathered and filled twelve baskets with leftovers. God gives to us abundantly but in most cases, we give Him our leftovers in return. But God takes what we offer and uses it for something good. But when we offer nothing – God has nothing to use. God can use even the smallest of what we have to offer. The older I get, the more precious opportunities, words, time, and food become to me, both in the physical sense and spiritual sense. I like to make the best use of the gifts I’ve been given – and want everything I say, do, or accept to be of good use and without waste.I might suggest that the greatest waste in life is when God’s free gift of salvation is not accepted. But sometimes the message hasn’t been made clear. We see this in Charles Spurgeon’s autobiography, when Spurgeon writes about his earlier years, “Oh the many times that I have wished the preacher would tell me something to do that I might be saved! Gladly would I have done it, if it had been pos-sible…Yet the simplest of all matters – believing in Christ crucified, accepting His finished salvation, my being noth-ing and letting Him be everything, doing nothing, but trust-ing to what He has done – I could not get a hold of it.” In Larry Moyers book, “Free and Clear,” Moyer ex-plains God’s offer of eternal life as a free gift – we are saved when, as sinners, we fully understand the power that Christ has to save us. We believe and act on that knowledge by placing our trust only in Christ for our salvation. That is saving faith. Christ has offered us the gift of eternal life based on His deity, death, and resurrection. But the offer doesn’t convey or grant anyone eternal life – unless the offer’s been accepted. A simple understanding that Christ died and arose and living a good life will not guarantee one’s salvation. To reiterate, the gift of eternal life must be received or appro-priated by the person receiving it. This is done by coming to God as a sinner and putting our trust in Christ alone for our salvation. Salvation is the most precious gift we will ever receive. I pray you will accept it – and not waste such a precious gift as this. The Crown JewelsBy Linda H. BarnetteThe United Kingdom’s Crown Jewels are a collection of royal ceremonial objects which are kept in the Tower of London. The coronation regalia is used to invest and crown British monarchs in order to name them head of the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth; Su-preme Governor of the Church of England; and head of the armed forces. Most of the present col-lection dates back about 350 years to the reign of Charles II.The objects altogether contain about 24,000gem-stones, including the fa-mous Cullinan I diamond, which is 530 carats and is set in the sovereign’s Scepter with Cross. The largest diamond on the crown itself is the 317 carat Cullinan II, which is one ff the reasons the crown itself is so heavy, and thus worn only at certain ceremonial events such as the opening of Parlia-ment. The crown also contains over 400 other stones in addition to the large diamond.At the coronation the monarch is anointed with holy oil, investments with robes and ornaments, and crowned with the St. Edward’s Crown. When not in ceremonial use, the crown jewels are on public display in the Tower of Lon-don. They belong to the institution of the monarchy and are passed from one ruler to the next. Now they belong to King Charles III for as long as he is the king.The Tower and the Crown Jewels were favorites of ours when we went to London. No pictures were allowed, and the Beefeaters who guard the jewels moved the queue along very quickly, so there is no time for gawking! However, the jewels did not disappoint! Of other interest in the Tower is the Armory, which contains the suits of armor worn my the knights of old and their steeds. In addition, we got to see the very room where Sir Walter Raleigh was imprisoned by Queen Elizabeth I. It was a much larger room than I had imagined.Whenever I see the crown, I always think of reading Henry IV in Dr. Jenkins’s Shakespeare class at Catawba. King Henry says at one point, “Heavy is the head that wears the crown” to explain his feeling that the duty of kingship is difficult and worrisome. However, now the monarch is a figurehead rather than a ruler. By Paris GoodnightEditor, The Salisbury Post My theoretical quest to start raising chickens took a hit recently when I went to my favorite farm supply store and found that all the chicks they had for sale had already been spoken for, not just for the first round but for the rest of the year. Seems as if everybody has decided to get into the busi-ness with the cost of eggs in the grocery store, so I wasn’t the only one. Of course, I’ve been thinking of doing such for years, if not decades, just to try an activity my grandparents did successfully the whole time I was a youngster. It wasn’t so much to beat the cost of buying eggs back then, since I’m sure when you factor in the cost of feed, fencing and all the other supplies needed, the cost per egg would be much higher than even those organic ones in the grocery store aisles or regular ones that went up so dramatically over the past year. It was more just for the fun of it. One of our former photographers raised his own chick-ens for years, and when I checked in with him to make sure I wasn’t jumping into something I shouldn’t, he gave me the last green light I needed. But when the word of the supply crunch arrived, I took that as a sign that maybe I should just stick to what I’ve been doing and raise a few tomato plants and leave the flocks to those who know what they’re doing. I’m not sure how my killer attack doodle doggie would take the idea of new feathered friends taking up part of his back-yard stomping grounds either. But all the chatter of chickens did get me thinking about one other idea that we’ve batted around over the years, that being what we would do with all our cash if we happened to hit that winning lottery ticket and had more money than we knew what to do with. One of the ideas I always tossed out was opening a kill-your-own chicken restaurant. One hitch — among many — to that plot was how much would we charge for the thrill of killing, pre- paring and cooking your own bird? No one ever came up with an acceptable price range for it. But I’m convinced it’s one of those things that has merit, not because people are clamoring for it, but because so many people who are my age have never killed anything on their own that they eat. Hunters being the exception of course, but everyone else could maybe point to a fishing adventure when they cleaned and cooked their own catch, but what else? Many more people of my parents’ and grandparents’ generation raised animals that would end up on a plate at some point, and I’ve heard stories of why that didn’t trickle down. When a pet pig ends up as barbecue, it’s not really fun for the young fellow to feast on it. We had a home movie of one of the last hogs my grand-parents killed and I tried to take that to school for show and tell once when I was of elementary age. Unfortunate-ly, the film snapped, so it didn’t go over as well as I might have imagined. But I don’t know that the youngsters in my class would have wanted to see that up on a screen anyway. So before I ever get that kill-your-own chicken ranch up and rolling, I think I’ll keep waiting for that winning lottery ticket to come in first since I don’t want to rely on such an idea for my living. There is at least one more chicken tale that I should mention, but that involves the old thunderchicken and that goes way back, so maybe that will be a story for another day.As for raising chickens in the backyard, I’ve already gotten the call that apparently the tales of the supply shortage were exaggerated and I could put my name down for as many little ones as I’d want. I had to tell the caller that after I’d thought about it a little more, I wasn’t sure that I could pull the trigger, so to speak, on buying some anyway. But I have already purchased the fencing I was going to put up, and I haven’t returned it yet. So maybe this will be the week. But I could chicken out once again too. We’ll see.

The Henderson County Courthouse in Hendersonville. Continued From Page 1street, just as the train used to do. Beautiful murals are ev-erywhere, and large pottery is displayed throughout the shopping area. Lincolnton was the site of the first textile mill in the south, and no-table buildings include the Lincoln Cultural Center and Emmanuel Lutheran Church.•Back on 150, the next stop was Shelby, seat of Cleveland County. The city was chartered in 1843 and was named for Revolution-ary War Hero Isaac Shelby. Considered a textile boom town, Shelby mills paid among the highest wages in the south.Among the famous locals were singer Don Gibson, bluegrass banjo picker Earl Scruggs and NFL star Bobby Bell. Gibson has an ac-tive musical theatre and Scruggs has an ongoing exhibit located in another magnificent and restored courthouse, the centerpiece of Shelby that was built in 1907. Court activities are now held in the Law En-forcement Building, while the restored courthouse also houses a museum.The next most dominat-ing building is the Charles Hotel, first built in the 1890s. It caught fire in 1928, just ahead of the depression but was able to reopen in 1929. Not currently a hotel, a study is currently underway to pos-sibly restore it again. Washington Street has magnificent older homes, the most famous being Webbley, built in 1852 and once home to NC Governor O. Max Gardner. The city is also home to the American Legion World Series each summer.•Next stop was Colum-bus, a first time visit for me, and the county seat for Polk County. There’s a historic Columbus and the modern one next to I-26.The courthouse was built in 1855, still in use, and amazingly had open bath-rooms on a midday Sunday. In this area, the Civil War divided neighbors as there was some residents remaining loyal to the Union. Four Confederate Companies were formed at the courthouse. Hardships of the war fostered resent-ment, causing draft evaders and deserters to find refuge in the mountains from where they formed gangs, raided farms and communi-ties. Hard feelings lingered for years.The town was named af-ter Dr. Columbus J. Mills, considered the “Father of Polk County.” The other major building Freeze ... in town is the former Stea-rns School building, built in 1917 and used through 1988 with first through 12th grades. The grounds are decorated with library art and a walking trail that follows the pages of the book “Snowmen at Night,” a 2004 children’s book. The historic part of town also has the House of Flags Museum, the only one in the United States, plus a thriving Mexican restaurant and an unlocked foyer of the visitor’s center.•Next came Henderson-ville, the county seat of Henderson County. Just a quick drive north on I-26 from Columbus put me on Main Street. Chartered in 1847, the town’s Main Street is well preserved with lots of old buildings that now house restaurants, trendy shopping, boutiques and antique stores.The Henderson County Courthouse, built in 1905 and renovated in 2008, dominates the downtown area and is still in use for some services since the new courthouse was com-pleted in 1995.Several things I found interesting included many ceramic bear statues along Main Street. I read that the bears mysteriously disap-pear near the New Year and are replaced by new ones. One building now called the Charleston Inn was built in 1906 with two sto-ries, but a third story was added about 10 years later. Throughout its history, the building had about a half dozen names. The Mast General Store Hailee Jarry coerces the author to buy two huge do- nuts at Sweet Side Bakery and Cafe in Lincolnton. Pottery is displayed often in Lincolnton. has a Main Street location.•My final destination for the day was Rutherfordton, county seat of Rutherford County. Founded in 1787, it is one of the oldest towns in western North Carolina. Rutherfordton is the site of the first gold mint in the U.S., called the Bechtler mint. Christopher Bechtler made his first gold dollar in 1832, 17 years before the U.S. mint. The Bechtler Mint closed in 1849. Gold dollar replicas are pressed into the downtown side-walk at various intervals.Named for Revolution-ary War General Griffith Rutherford, Rutherford-ton’s Main Street is loaded with historic sites, includ-ing another wonderful courthouse, this one built in 1925/26. It has a 75-foot tall Christmas tree, already decorated with lights and a star on top. Same as my windmill. The 1847 St. John’s Episcopal Church looks ready for a small congrega-tion. Two historic houses side by side are called the Carrier Houses and are bed and breakfast locations, one built in 1835 and the other in 1879.The 13.5-mile Thermal Belt Rail Trail connects Ruth, Rutherfordton, Spin-dale and Forest City, and is used for walking, running and cycling.All these towns were active on a Sunday that started rainy and ended sunny. I had 7.95 miles on my feet and 242 on my truck. Seventeen counties down, 83 to go. See you soon with more. DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, April 6, 2023 - 5 By Nikki O’BrienDavie Community Foundation The following is the first in a series of articles on Davie Community Founda-tion scholarship winners and their accomplishments since receiving the awards. Since graduating from Davie High in 2013, Abi-gail Lunsford has had quite the journey working toward her hopes and dreams. She received the Community Scholarship from the Davie Community Foundation and went on to graduate with Highest of Honors from UNC Chapel Hill in 2017. After earning her bachelor’s degree in classical archeol-ogy, she went on to pursue her graduate degree in the same field. When she began her mas-ter’s program at Florida State University she began teaching classes for the first time and fell in love with the field. She now teaches high school Latin for Buncombe County Schools outside of Asheville. When asked what one or William Ellis Middle School's MathCounts team placed second in the recent regional MathCounts com-petition. Approximately 150 of the top middle school stu-dents from several counties in northwest North Caro-lina competed in the annual event at Wake Forest Uni-versity.The team's performance qualified it for the state com-petition at the N.C. School of Science and Mathematics in Durham.William Ellis had 10 stu-dents. Jonathan Hanes, Zach Hirata, Olivia Rareshide, and Carden Stroud compet-ed as the school team and as individuals, while William Hendrix, Livi Howard, Ni-rat Patel, Ian Rareshide, Val Ricketts and Arjey Teper competed as individuals.In the individual results, Olivia Rareshide placed 9th, Stroud 10th, Hirata 11th, Hanes 18th, Teper 24th, Ricketts 31st, and Ian Rareshide 36th.The team, coached by William Ellis math teacher Steve Rareshide, began practicing weekly after school in October, and sev-eral times weekly in January two important lessons she learned along the way, she said: “There is no one path to success or contentment, and hard work always pays off. “The greatest advice I can give to high school or col-lege students is to volunteer your time in your commu-nity. Volunteer hours, of course, look good on col-lege applications but it also allows you to give back to and be involved in the com-munity and the lives of the people around you. One of Former scholars now a teacher, business owner Michael Domanski and kAbigail Lunsford received scholarships admin- istered by the Davie Community Foundation, and are now embarking on their careers. my most formative experi-ences at that age was volun-teering regularly at A Store-house for Jesus and I cannot recommend volunteer work enough.” •Lots of things have been going on in Michael Domanski’s world since graduating Davie High in 2008. He was the recipient of the Roy and Ruth Eldridge Scholarship and went on to NC State where he majored in landscape srchitecture. “Landscape srchitecture is a little more than just planning out landscaping, I focus on logistics, engineer-ing, and structuring” says Michael. Upon graduation, he worked for a company that specializes in the planning of roads, pathways, and foot traffic issues on commercial properties and campuses. Throughout his time at this company, his skills evolved and he decided to branch out on his own along with five other like-minded col-leagues to form their own company in February 2022. Domanski is the owner of MESH Overlay Design. His company provides logisti-cal event planning for major sporting events such as the PGA and NCAA National Championships. His educa-tion helped pave the way to provide structural site analysis and management. So, the next time you visit a hospitality tent at a local golf event or walk down a pedestrian walk, ask your-self if Davie native Michael Domanski had a hand in this efficiency. When what advice he had for Davie students looking to pursue higher education and their careers he stated: “Keep an open mind. It’s ok to adjust and pivot. Keep going and always make sure to be a good teammate. People will always want to work with you if you are positive.” He said one lesson thathe learned in high school that has helped him achieve his success was to “be an easy person to work with.” Employeeowned Established in1921 Globalmanufacturer Scan to viewour currentvacancies Hiringnow and February.MathCounts is a nation-wide program designed to improve mathematical prob-lem solving skills among middle school students, who are at a crucial stage in developing and sustaining math interest and ability.As one of the longest-running STEM programs for middle school students in the nation, MathCounts encourages student inter-est in mathematics through written and oral challenges.

Best ... Goshen, IND. – Genesis Products entered an agree-ment to purchase Funder America, Inc., announced at the onset of the 2023 NAHB International Builder Show at the Las Vegas Convention Center. The combined product offering drew high traffic at the show, which had an es-timated record 200,000 at-tendees for the week. The acquisition, which included the sale of the Mocksville site and busi-ness for some $61 million, positions Genesis to meet the demand for Thermally Fused Melamine (TFL) panels and broadens Gen-esis’ expertise as a leading supplier of laminated pan-els, components and panel processing. Funder America is one of the oldest, largest and most diversified TFL panel and component manufacturers in North America with 50 ing for staff members.Next week, members of the county board of education will decide on Tuesday whether to name the new building at the old Davie High cam-pus on US 601 South in Mocksville the Davie County Schools Mebane Education Center.“As an elementary teacher, I have seen the benefits of those pre-schools,” Ireland told board members last month. “The Mebane Foundation and Mr. Me-bane himself ... when we Schools may name new building after Allen Mebane met with him years ago ... his desire to enrich all children in all walks of life is so empowering.”She was a member of a naming committee that is recommending the fa-cility previously known as "K" building be named for Mebane. “Mebane’s commit-ment to improving early grades education for all children, coupled with substantial financial sup-port throughout the years, has been instrumental in the continuous improve-ment of early childhood literacy in Davie Coun-ty,” said Jeff Wallace, su-perintendent.Mebane and his foun-dation, Wallace said, pro-vided $2.5 million for the Davie LEADS program, funded the Mebane Mas-ter’s program for teachers and started pre-schools at each elementary site.“It’s been ongoing,” Wallace said. “The in-vestment in our commu-nity from people like that makes us all different.”He also pointed to committee member Clyde Scott Sr., who is still involved in helping make schools better, even though he graduated from the Davie County Train-ing School some 56 years ago.“It takes the whole community to make us better.”Renovations are still being made to the build-ing that was part of the old Davie County High School and will eventu-ally house the Virtual School personnel, admin-istrative offices and col-laborative learning and training spaces for DCS staff.“The impact goes on and on with every stu-dent who walks through my classroom door,” said teacher, Yvette Shore. The investment quickly pays back with posititive impacts on students.Committee members included Wallace, Dub Potts, Clay Harris, Clyde Scott Sr., Ireland, Shore and Valerie Feezor.Renovations are ex-pected to be complete this summer. The committee met twice before making the recommendation. Indiana company buys Funder America years of experience.“Adding TFL manufac-turing to our capabilities brings us one step closer to being the most comprehen-sive supplier of laminated components and panels in North America. We are pas-sionate about leveraging the breadth of our offering to better serve OEMs, distribu-tors and retailers across the country,” said Jon Wenger, CEO of Genesis.“As an independent TFL producer, Funder has the ability to work with any board or laminate to serve the unique and constantly evolving needs of our joint customers. Our products and capabilities are natu-rally aligned to be stronger together,” said Peter Funder, who will continue to lead Funder as a division of Gen-esis after the acquisition. Funder’s TFL panels and components feature deco-rative surfaces with visual appeal that exhibit scratch and wear resistance. They are available in a variety of sizes, thicknesses, textures, and designs; an offering that complements industries Genesis serves, including kitchen cabinets, closets and shelving, RV, office and healthcare furniture.Wenger added that the Funder locations in North Carolina, Florida and Ar-kansas “will greatly expand our national footprint.” DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE Rural Development Davie Industrial Center : Notice of Availability of an Environmental Assessment AGENCY: Rural Business-Cooperative Service (RBS), USDA ACTION: Notice of Availability of an Environmental Assessment SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the RBS, as required by the National En-vironmental Policy Act, is issuing an environmental assessment (EA) in connection with possible impacts related to a project proposed by Davie Industrial Center, of Mocksville, Davie County, North Carolina. The proposal is for construction of an approximately 500,000-square-foot speculative warehouse facility. Davie Industrial Center has submitted an application to RBS for funding of the proposal. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Lisa Talley, Business Programs Specialist, USDA Rural Development, 4405 Bland Road, Suite 260, Raleigh, NC 27609; 919-873-2068; lisa.talley@usda.gov SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Davie Industrial Center proposes to con-struct a new, approximately 500,000-aquare-foot speculative warehouse on an ap-proximately 37.2-acre tract of undeveloped land north of Interstate Drive in Mocks-ville, Davie County, North Carolina. This Project will involve the disturbance of approximate 27 acres. Pilot Environmental, Inc., an environmental consultant, prepared an environmental assessment for RBS that describes the project, assesses the proposed project’s envi-ronmental impacts, and summarizes as applicable any mitigation measures used to minimize environmental effects. RBS has conducted an independent evaluation of the environmental assessment and believes that it accurately assesses the impacts of the proposed project. No significant impacts are expected as a result of the construc-tion of the project. Questions and comments should be sent to RBS at the address provided. RBS will accept questions and comments on the environmental assessment for 14 days from the date of publication of this notice. Any final action by RBS related to the proposed project will be subject to, and con-tingent upon, compliance with all relevant Federal environmental laws and regula-tions and completion of environmental review procedures as prescribed by 7 CFR Part 1970, Environmental Policies and Procedures. A general location map of the proposal is shown below: Dated: April 6, 2023 He approached Davie County Manager Brian Bar-nett, Bermuda Run Man-ager Andrew Meadwell, and Cooleemee Town Clerk Aaron Thies with a proposi-tion to work collaboratively on an application.“Davie County has so much going for it, and I recognized this as an op-portunity to bring everyone together to celebrate that fact,” said Gamble.With support from the managers and elected boards, a group of county and municipal representa-tives and community lead-ers went to work identify-ing youth programs that were making a difference across the county. This was a challenging task due to the short time available to se-lect programs, prepare the application with supporting statistics and submit a com-petitive product, he said.Four programs quickly rose to the top: Ignite Da-vie, Davie Works (Career & Technical Education, CTE), SURF Board Grantmakers, and Davie Respect Initia-tive. “Teamwork makes the dream work, and once pro-gram representatives com-mitted to the project, the entire team came together to begin the herculean two-and-a-half-month process of building the application. The final result was more than 10,000 words long," he said.The team and students who have benefitted from these programs will now work on putting together a presentation for the panel of judges in Denver.Davie County was last a finalist in the All-America City Awards in 1993.Elected representatives across Davie County were thrilled to hear that Davie County advanced to the next round of the competition.“We are honored to be recognized by the National Civic League as a finalist for the All-American City award,” said Mark Jones, chair of the Davie County Board of Commissioners. “Davie County is a great community to raise a family and run a business. We cer-tainly live by the tenets of civic engagement, collabo-ration, inclusiveness, and innovation to address issues in our community. Thank you for acknowledging the teamwork that makes Davie County a true All American Community.”Cooleemee Mayor Jes-sica Almond agreed, add-ing: “I was born and raised in Cooleemee. When I got married, I chose to stay in Davie County and raise my family. I love our commu-nity and how we all work together when needed to get things done. It gives you a sense of pride to live in a place like Davie County.”Bermuda Run Mayor Rick Cross also deeply ap-preciates what makes Davie County such a phenomenal place to live. “As represen-tatives serving Davie Coun-ty, we know ours is a special community. We are thrilled that this is acknowledged by being named as a finalist for this prestigious recogni-tion.”Mocksville Mayor Will Marklin recognized the es-sential role our community organizations play in cre-ating positive opportuni-ties for our youth while strengthening the social fabric of Davie County. He shared his appreciation for the SURF Board, Davie Respect Initiative, Ignite Davie, and Davie Works (Career & Technical Educa-tion). “We are all proud of what is being done in Davie County to promote youth involvement and are ex-cited to be a finalist for All- American County.”Members of the applica-tion team included: Aaron Thies, Cooleemee Town Clerk; Alyse Wooldridge, Career Development Coor-dinator, Davie County High School; Andrew Meadwell, Bermuda Run Town Man-ager; Anthony Davis, di-rector of CTE and Federal Programs, Davie County Schools; Brian Barnett, Da-vie County Manager; Caro-lyn McManamy, director of DavieConnect, representing Ignite Davie; Ken Gamble, Mocksville Town Manager; Jane Simpson, president & CEO Davie Community Foundation, representing SURF Board; Jeanna White, Word Master Media Group; Jeannie Taylor, Cooleemee Town Board; Julia Burazer, Davie Respect Initiative; Rick Cross - Mayor of Ber-muda Run; Stefanie Morris, Career Planning, North Da-vie Middle School; Stephen Leighton, Davie Respect Initiative; Susan Baggett, Davie Respect Initiative; and Will Marklin, Mayor of Mocksville.

The Davie County Sheriff’s Office has stopped processing pistol purchase permit applications includ-ing pending applications. State laws regarding the issuance of pistol purchase permits by sheriffs were repealed following a vote by the General Assembly to override Gov. Roy Coo-per’s veto of Senate Bill 41, Guarantee 2nd Amendment Freedom and Protections.“This means any person who wants to purchase or transfer a handgun in North Carolina no longer has to apply to the sheriff for a pis-tol purchase permit,” said Davie Sheriff J.D. Hart-man. However, any person who wants to purchase a handgun through a firearms dealer will still undergo the background check required under current law and either be sold the handgun or de-nied sale if the background check indicates the person is disqualified from possess-ing a firearm.”Criminal penalties still apply for anyone that know-ingly transfers a handgun to a person who may not law-fully possess the firearm (such as a convicted felon).“Therefore, it is important for citizens to remember that anyone wishing to ob-tain or transfer any firearm, including a handgun, must still comply with federal and state laws governing who may lawfully possess a firearm,” Hartman said. It is important to under-stand that North Carolina concealed handgun laws have not changed. Any person residing in Davie County wishing to carry a concealed handgun in North Carolina must still apply for and be issued a concealed handgun permit by the sher-iff. Want a pistol?

Many of us have precious remembrances on Easter Day – ones that include entertaining bunny tales, rambunc-tious egg hunts, and heritage foods. On Easter morning, my family always attended church with my paternal grandparents. The service was followed by a mid-day, sit-down supper in the dining room of their home.For the holiday meal, my granny served her delicious, homemade, rolled and cut, flour dumplings with shredded chicken, fresh green beans, scalloped red tomatoes, marinated cucumbers, and homemade fried apples. All was served with lightly sweet-ened cornbread. A tangy citrus or chocolate pie was the dessert of the day. The mouthwatering meal was always the same – my fam-ily’s tradition. Of course, the kiddos couldn’t appreciate such a delicious meal as we were eager to get on with the day’s activities. When the adults were fully satisfied and had chatted around the dining table for a while – what we loved and anticipated most, finally arrived – the egg hunt. My grandparent’s garden grew what I called, an Eas-ter tree – a huge hardwood, with low, crooked, and snarly branches that formed a wide canopy, fully shading a rock garden. The tree’s trunk was full of holes and hollows where I imagined little tiny gnomes and fairies lived. Un-der the tree, many brightly colored, foil-covered, chocolate eggs and bunnies were hidden. A carnival of colors glis-tened and tantalized under the shade of those branches. In my mind, the scene is as beautiful today as it was then. With several acres of land, my cousins and I would run and play outdoors for hours. There were large concrete planters and full-sized deer that we’d climb on – that was, until the day a heavy urn fell over on my cousin, Bobbie Jeanne. That put an end to that. But Granny still harnessed her little donkey, Jenny, to a two-wheeled cart and let us ride around the yard. The cousins would climb onto the seat, still donning our pretty, smocked Easter dresses. Like the twisted, old, oak tree I remember as a kid – today’s recipes feature traditional Easter favorites – some with a slight twist. As Granny ladled the steamy dump-lings onto our plates, I can still hear Daddy saying, “Take all you want, but eat all you take.” His words – a simple reminder to not be wasteful with what was offered. The older I get, the more precious opportunities, words, time, and good food have become to me, both in the physi-cal and spiritual sense. I want to make the best use of the gifts I’ve been given – I want everything I say, do, or ac-cept to be of good use and without wastefulness. I might suggest to you that the greatest waste in life is when God’s free gift of salvation is not accepted. In Larry Moyers’ book, “Free and Clear,” Moyer explains God’s of-fer of eternal life as a free gift – we are saved when, as sinners, we fully understand the power that Christ has to save us. We believe and act on that knowledge by plac-ing our trust only in Christ for our salvation. But the offer doesn’t convey or grant anyone eternal life – unless the offer’s been accepted. A simple understanding that Christ died and arose and living a good life will not guarantee one’s salvation. To reiterate, the gift of eternal life must be received or appropriated by the person receiving it. This is done by coming to God as a sinner and putting trust in Christ alone for our salvation. Salvation is the most precious gift we will ever receive. I pray you will accept it – and not waste such a divine gift as this.

Sound familiar? The War Eagles have only made eight errors in their nine victories. By contrast, they have made 13 errors in their four losses. They made five in a 6-5 loss to East Forsyth and four in a 7-2 loss to West Forsyth. And their generous defense was the main reason for a 4-3, 11-inning loss to Carson. “We’ve had this conversation three times. You can’t win ball-games with four or five errors,” coach Nathan Handy said. “We had mental mistakes and miscom-munication. We shot ourselves in the foot.”Exactly one week after Davie and West Rowan played an instant classic that ended in an 8-8 tie af-ter 12 innings, Davie and Carson battled for two and a half hours in another tense struggle. The bottom of the second would prove costly. The Cougars scored two runs on a hit batsman, two errors and a wild pitch. “The killer was the second in-ning,” Handy said. “They scored two runs without the ball leaving the infield. That’s just painful. That’s the inning you look back on. You take that inning away and we win.”The starting pitchers, Davie sophomore Riley Potts and Carson senior Lonna Addison, were both awesome. In fact, through four innings Davie had no answer for Addison, who had a one-hitter go-ing with eight strikeouts, the only hit coming off the bat of Carleigh Croom. But Carson’s coach switched pitchers in the top of the fifth, and Davie pounced. Audrea Fowler, who entered her junior year tied for fifth in career home runs with nine but has gotten off to a slow start, made a big contribution with Han-na Steinour on first. She cranked a game-tying, two-run homer - her By Brian PittsEnterprise Record Two weeks after suffering through a fourth straight loss, the Davie tennis team picked up its fourth straight win by overwhelm-ing East Forsyth, 8-1, at home on March 27. By Brian PittsDavie Enterprise Record Davie’s varsity baseball team had pulled off attention-grabbing wins over Carson, Alexander Central, East Forsyth and Reagan (twice). A 12-5 triumph at Watauga on March 29 was another feather in Davie’s cap. It came on a night when the War Eagles found their offensive teeth. Coy James has been on a tear all year, but a good chunk of the batting order had struggled, with Davie averaging 5.8 hits and 4.4 runs before the trip to Boone. The top four batters in the lineup - James, Parker Simmons, Davin Whitaker and Brady Mar-shall - went a combined 8 for 15 as Davie scored a season-high 12 runs and matched a season high in hits (10). Sandwiched around the Watau-ga game were two dates with Mt. Tabor. But while Tabor is a rebuilding program, Watauga is a strong foe, the Pioneers having won 10 of 12 before meeting Davie. Tennis team wins 4 in a row “With a young team, that shows so much,” coach Shane Nixon said after Davie’s fifth win in six matches. “My guys are improving, getting better, and this is what we strive for.”Not only did the War Eagles sweep singles while claiming all 12 sets, the closest margin in any of those sets was 6-3. That was impressive considering East was coming off a win over Reynolds. “East is so much better than they were last year,” Nixon said. “I know an 8-1 score might suggest something else, but this is a team that just beat Reynolds. They have a couple guys who will be All-CPC. This score is indicative more of how well we played.” No. 1 Burke Rosenbaum and No. 2 Bryce Bailey both won 6-0, 6-0, as well as an 8-1 romp as dou-bles partners, because of course they did. They improved to 11-1 and 9-3 in singles, respectively, and they moved to 10-1 in doubles. “These are two great kids,” Nixon said. “Both have taken on roles as captains of this team. Both put their figurative arms around our younger guys. Both are good students, both are fine young men. The tennis is like gravy on really good biscuits - you don’t have to have it, but it sure is good.”Now let’s look at Davie’s soph-omore group. Hayden Key, a 6-1, 6-2 winner at No. 4, improved to 9-3 while playing anywhere from three to six. Zach Hill (6-3, 6-3 win at No. 3), Key, Grayson Busse and Barrett Taylor have combined for an 18-9 record in singles. “This sophomore class is really making an impact,” he said. “Zach, Hayden, Grayson and Barrett have all played well at different times Please See Tennis - Page B5 Errors costly in loss Please See Errors - Page B5 Whitaker drives in 6; Davie wins in Boone The nonconference game gave coach Joey Anderson a chance to throw his prize freshman for the first time all year. Marshall seized the opportunity. The righthander retired the side in order in the first and second innings, he faced four batters in the third and he entered the fourth with a no-hitter. Marshall labored in the fourth, but all in all, it was a tremendous mound debut. “He threw well,” Anderson said. “He had a plan like our other pitchers and he attacked the hitters and let our defense work. Since he hadn’t thrown in a while, maybe I left him in there a little too long, but he was throwing strong and they have a potent lineup.”Davie struck for two runs in the second, thanks to James’ RBI sin-gle and Whitaker’s bases-loaded walk. The War Eagles widened the gap to 6-0 in the fourth on Whita-ker’s two-run single and Jackson Sink’s two-run double. Although Sink ended the game with a .228 average, he has made most of his hits count - his nine RBIs are second to Whitaker’s 12. “Jackson’s been swinging the bat a lot better the last couple games,” Anderson said. “He’s had quality swings and put quality at-bats together.”Watauga broke up Marshall’s no-hitter with one out in the fourth. A single, a double and back-to-back walks ended Marshall’s night at 3.2 innings and two runs allowed. A bases-loaded jam put con-siderable weight on the reliever’s shoulders, but Connor Berg was up to the task. He induced an infield popup to end the inning and preserve a 6-2 lead. Berg, a junior righty who made his sixth relief appearance, earned the win by throwing the last 3.1 innings. “They were rallying the troops and getting pumped up,” Ander-son said of the Pioneers. “Berg has been in those situations and I wanted to give them a different look. He’s got a little funky deliv-ery and he made a great pitch to get a popup.”Watauga rallied again in the fifth. Tristan Salinas, who has signed with South Carolina, slammed a two-run homer to cut Davie’s lead to 6-5. “They’ve beaten some big-time teams,” Anderson said of Watauga. But Davie closed the game in overpowering fashion and allowed its coach to breathe after a string of nailbiter games in recent weeks. After Simmons walked in the sixth, Marshall capped a night to remember by hitting his first high school homer. Then Davie poured it on in the seventh. With Ty Miller, Drew Krause and James on the bases, Whitaker pulled a three-run triple down the right-field line. Whitaker went 2 for 3 with two runs, two walks and six RBIs. The runs batted in are the most by a War Eagle in nine years, or 196 games. You’re going to love this: The last War Eagle to drive in six was assistant coach Ross Hoffner, who went 2 for 2 with six RBIs in a crazy season opener as a senior in 2014. Hoffner had a two-run single, a run-scoring squeeze bunt and a three-run double off the wall in left-center as Davie blasted Randleman, 18-5, at Rich Park.

The War Eagles grabbed a 2-0 lead in the second inning and held that advantage for a while. It turned out to be a brief shining moment. All the good things Davie had done went up in smoke in the bottom of the fifth, when Davie’s golf team is in position for its highest Cen-tral Piedmont Conference finish (second place) in 10 years, with the War Eagles leading third-place Reagan by 13 strokes. But it doesn’t look like Davie is going to catch Davie lacrosse results The Davie girls lacrosse team defeated East Forsyth 7-5 at home on March 28, but Davie lost 10-7 at Reagan on March 31.

For the third meet in a row, Davie lost ground to the Demons. Reynolds’ 145 led the way at Maple Chase on March 28. Davie shot an 8-over 152, followed by Reagan (157), Mt. Tabor (167), West Forsyth (179), East Forsyth (193) and Glenn (216). Colby Moore and An-derson Beliveau tied for third overall as they both recorded their best score of the season, an even-par 36. Walker Jones (39), Coo-per Drum (41) and Landon Packard (41) were next for Davie. The War Eagles’ last CPC championship was in 1997. For them to end that drought, they’ll have to erase a 20-stroke deficit to Reynolds over the final 45 holes. Reynolds stands at 762, Davie at 782 and Reagan at 795. Watauga exploded for eight runs and beat Davie 8-2 in Boone on March 29. The game was called after five and a half innings via the two-hour time limit. In the top of the second, Colamarino doubled before Gray Collins, Christopher Barringer and Daywalt put together three straight sin-gles. The result was the 2-0 lead. The defense helped start-ing pitcher C. Stem in the Watauga second. Catcher Hunter Potts cut down a runner trying to steal, and first baseman Corbin Angus started a double play. An in-ning later, shortstop Larson Stem threw out a runner at home. It was still 2-0 heading into the bottom of the fifth, when Watauga completely changed the game with an eight-spot. Eight hits, two walks and an error put Davie in the 8-2 hole. Before everything un-raveled, C. Stem and Hobbs each threw two scoreless in-nings. The Pioneers scored off three relievers. Davie’s sixth pitcher of the game, Alexander Shinsky, faced the last two Watauga batters and retired both. Colamarino and Day-walt went 2 for 3 and 2-2, respectively. Collins and Barringer both went 1-2. Barr went 1-3. “I was happy to see those four innings before it im-ploded,” varsity coach Joey Anderson said. “It was good to see them making defen-sive plays and making smart plays. A lot of times the defense has killed us, not thinking ahead of the play. That’s what we’ve been working on - know what you’re going to do before the ball is hit to you.”Davie (2-8) has strug-gled, to put it mildly. This was its seventh straight loss. Watauga had 14 hits to Da-vie’s seven and zero errors to Davie’s two. “They’re going through some soul-searching right now, the whole team in general,” Anderson said. “They’re trying to figure it out. They’ve had some tough practices the last cou-ple of weeks, trying to get them to think the game and play the game the way we coach it.” • Sports Briefs • Slump continues for War Eagle JV baseball DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, April 6, 2023 ‑ B3 As far as opening days go, nothing gets my juices running like the first day of North Carolina’s spring wild-turkey season. Hunters under age 18 got a week’s jump on the rest of the crowd, getting into the woods on Saturday, April 1. We adults have to wait until Saturday, April 8, to begin the season, which stretches through five Sat-urdays before ending on May 6.If nothing else, it is soul-stirring to be outside well before daylight, to see and hear the woods wake up: the whip-poor-wills, the cuckoos and owls, and finally, roosters on nearby farms and crows. It might be pitch-black dark, or the sky will be turning pink as dawn approaches, when the turkeys start to stir, hens with their soft clucking and yelping from their perch-es in trees, and finally, the gobblers with their unmis-takable, throaty shouts.I have heard turkeys gobble at roosters, crows, the scream of a hawk, even the chirring screech of a peacock who ruled the roost on a Stokes County farm. And especially, they gobble at other turkeys.Nothing matches that first gobble, on that first morning of turkey season. I can probably count on one hand the turkeys I’ve killed or helped kill on opening day — sometimes, the hunting is much better a week or so into the sea-son when hen turkeys have gone on the nest and the big boys have to hunt for female companionship. But that first gobble still sends chills up the spine of almost any hunter.I will be about 20 yards off a logging road on the side of a hill in northern Forsyth County next Sat-urday, shortly after 6 a.m., sitting with my back to a stump, in a makeshift blind, listening intently for any sounds, trying to gauge di-rection and distance when the first gobbler sounds off. That’s when the season re-ally begins.North Carolina hunt-ers have had their three best seasons in history since 2020, when they set a record by taking 22,426 birds. Some credit goes to the statewide flock, which is estimated at north of a quarter-million birds. Some credit that year went to the COVID pandemic, which got a lot of hunters out of their offices and into the woods an inordinate num-ber of extra days, resulting in a record kill.But the 2021 kill fol-lowed at 20,882, and last season, hunters took 20,576 more birds. It was barely 10 years ago that northern Piedmont and northwestern counties led the annual har-vests — Ashe, Alleghany, Stokes and Caswell coun-ties were always close to the top of the leaderboard. But the biggest part of the har-vest has shifted 200 miles to the southeast, the last part of North Carolina that the N.C. Wildlife Resourc-es Commission stocked with turkeys. The flock in that area is still expanding in the fertile farmland and timber that accounts for the habitat. Last season, Duplin County led with 748 birds reported, followed by Blad-en County (569), Pender County (565), Columbus County (541) and Bruns-wick County (518).Historically, a lot of turkeys are killed on the first couple of days of the season, just because of the sheer number of hunters, and because nobody in full camouflage has been bothering gobblers for 11 months. The best hunting usually takes place during the second peak of gob-bling, when hens start to go on the nest. This has typically been April 13-20. Some seasons, that’s open- ing week; some seasons, it’s the second week. Whenev-er it falls, it’s a wonderful time to be working a box or slate call, because you have less female compe-tition in the woods — and the real hen turkeys rarely ever come in runner up to a guy resting the fore-end of his shotgun on his left knee, while he operates a call of scratches in the leaves with his left hand. The last two weeks of the season can be dull or dynamite, depending on the percentage of hens living on the nest and ignoring gobblers, and the hunting pressure gobblers have re-ceived. I have killed birds on the last day or two of the season more than just a time or two, but they’re usually tough birds to come by, having turned into strong, silent types.

He was sent to Korea to fight as a member of the 3rd Division 38th Parallel. Interestingly, he was sta-tioned at the same Army base in Seoul, South Korea, where his grandson Michael Mock was stationed exactly 70 years later as he also served in the US Army. United States Army Feb. 1, 1951 — Oct. 31, 1952 Some fascinating facts about his time in Korea: He was a Tank Battalion Armor Driver for the Third Division. He transported fuel and ammunition to the front lines of combat in his armored truck. He was the enemy’s “sitting duck.” The battle could be won by the enemy if they could destroy the ammunition truck, but by the grace and protection of his God, they never did. He recalls being shot at sev-eral times as he routinely made nighttime trips to the front lines to avoid being recognized by the enemy. He frequently slept beneath his vehicle, dreaming about the Davie County hay fields he tended as a young boy and hoped to return to after the war. He spent 35 and 1/2 years working at Western Electric after the war while still work-ing the farm he had always imagined going back to. He is still actively involved in working the farm and mow- ing those fields at 92 years old. After marrying his wife in 1953, Nancy Wilson, he had three sons: Larry, Alan & Craig. He has 6 grandchildren and 5 great-grandchildren.

The Raiders dealt visiting Davie its sixth loss by a 6-3 margin on March 29. Rosenbaum and Bai-ley, who both won 6-0, 6-0 in singles and then 8-0 in doubles, kept flying high. Davie, though, couldn’t manage any other wins as it dropped to 7-6 overall and 6-4 in the Central Piedmont Conference. “Reagan is the sec-ond-best team in the CPC,” Nixon said. “Burke and Bryce played amazingly well, but we couldn’t get anything else to come to-gether. Guys are playing above where they need to be with injuries and our youth. That will help in the future, but it feels like growing pains now.” Continued From Page B1first blast of the year - off senior reliever Phoebe Cole. “I don’t know what the reasoning was behind them switching,” Handy said. “I saw they had a big confer-ence game the next day, so maybe they were thinking they could save (Addison) and not have to throw her the whole game. We hit the ball hard multiple times (against Cole).”Addison came back to the circle in the sixth, but Davie was able to scratch out a go-ahead run as the meat of the order came through. Summer Simpson walked on a fullcount pitch. The next batter, Sydney Dirks, roped a double in the gap, scoring Simpson all the way from first. Dirks was thrown out trying to stretch the hit into a triple, but Da-vie had a 3-2 lead. “Syd was blocked from the bag,” Handy said. “The (third baseman) was about two feet from the bag and Syd had no path to the bag. We tried to challenge that call because Syd couldn’t slide to it. It’s hard to get those calls sometimes. There were multiple calls that could have gone either way.”Like Addison, Potts was in complete control most of the night. Through five innings, she had a no-hitter with nine Ks. But Carson’s leadoff girl, Landry Stewart, gave the Cougars a spark in the sixth. She bunted for a hit, advanced on a sac bunt and later scored as Davie made two errors on one play. Now it was a 3-3 game.“It was a dang good bunt,” Handy said of Stew-art. “She’s a slapper, so she was already moving out of the box by the time she contacted the ball.”Davie’s offense had a flameout after Dirks’ tie-breaking double, producing just two baserunners over the last five innings. Of course, a lot of that had to do with Addison, who worked a four-hitter for 10 innings with one walk and 11 Ks. “Offensively, we strug-gled,” Handy said. Potts had a three-hitter for 10 innings, but Stewart hurt Davie again by leading off the 11th with a double. “If (left fielder Jaydn Davis) had been playing regular depth (Davie had moved her in because of Stewart being a slapper), we probably keep her to a single,” Handy said. “There was nothing Jaydn could do about it.”After Stewart advanced to third on a bunt, Handy played it by the book and intentionally walked the Nos. 3-4 batters to load the bases. Not only did the walks set up the force, No. 5 batter Emily Kann was 0 for 4 with two strikeouts, having failed to hit the ball out of the infield. “They’re the three and four batters for a reason,” Handy said. But give Kann credit for coming through under pressure, as she jumped on the first pitch and hit a walk-off single. “We liked our chanc-es, but she obviously took offense to us walking two batters to get to her and she hit it into right field,” Handy said. It was a heartbreaking loss for the War Eagles, who are 2-3 in games decided by one or two runs. “We have to figure out how to finish games,” he said. “We play a pretty tough schedule on purpose, so when we get to the state playoffs we’ve had those games that are decided late, that challenge us the entire game. It felt like a playoff game. It’s one you look back on and say: ‘We should have won that game.’ I hope we eventually figure it out. We’ve got to grow as a team. It’s a tough loss because we didn’t want to have to sit on a loss during spring break. That’s just the way it goes sometimes.”Potts finished with a five-hitter, two walks and 12 Ks in a valiant effort. Only one of Carson’s four runs were earned. Getting two hits from Croom and one from Davis, Simpson, Dirks, Steinour and Fowler, Davie outhit Carson 7-5. But Carson held a clear edge on defense, making just one error. “Their defense played their butts off,” Handy said. “They made a lot of good plays that I was not expect-ing them to make. Kudos to them.”Notes: Carson, which defeated West Rowan 6-1, improved to 7-4. ... Da-vie slipped to 9-4-1 with the nonconference loss. ... Croom has heated up after going 4 for 23 (.173) in the first eight games. The soph-omore is 9 for 16 (.562) in the last five games, lifting her season average to .333. ... Potts has 81 Ks in 64.2 innings, along with a sol-id 2.27 ERA. ... Simpson (.547), Dirks (.536), Davis (.461), Raelyn Lankford (.395) and Steinour (.352) have the top five batting av-erages. ... Two days before the Carson game, Davie feasted on visiting Glenn. Lankford, Simpson and Croom connected for home runs as Davie blew past the Bobcats 13-3 in five innings. Davis, Simpson, Dirks and Croom had three hits apiece. Trailing 1-0, Davie took control with a five-run second. ... It was the ninth mercy-rule loss for Glenn (3-10). ... Davie improved to 5-2 in the Cen-tral Piedmont Conference, trailing East Forsyth (7-0) and West Forsyth (9-1).

But be careful where you plant, it is a spreader. Early season color is added by a dogwood tree (Local legend has it, that when the dogwood begins to bloom, the white bass begin to run up the Yadkin River. At right, the saucer magnolia bloom was photographed in late February, quite early. When the sub-freezing temps of March came, it turned brown and the petals fell to the ground. Purple thrift blooms just in time for Easter, making a perfect contrast to the lime green hellebores, or Lenten Rose. The hellebores at Calahaln include shades from light green to dark purple. Easter is this week- end, and it looks like Peter Cottontail is right at home in the garden. Forsythia is an ear- ly-season bloomer than can provide a nice, natural border, or when planted en masse, or stand out on its own.

Many high-ROI projects add functional space and improvement. The following are some exterior renovations that help homeowners recoup the most money at resale, according to Remodeling magazine’s “2022 Cost vs. Value Report.”1. Garage Door Replace-ment: 93.3 percent recouped of $4,041 cost.2. Manufactured Stone Veneer: 91.4 percent re-couped of $11,066 cost.3. Siding replacement (Fiber Cement): 68.3 per-cent recouped of $22,093 cost.4. Window replacement (Vinyl): 67.5 percent re-couped of $20,482 cost.5. Siding replacement (Vinyl): 67.2 percent re-couped of $18,662 cost.6. Window replacement (Wood): 66.3 percent re-couped of $24,388 cost.7. Deck addition (Wood): 64.8 percent recouped of $19,248 cost.8. Entry Door Replace-ment (Steel): 63.8 percent Exterior renovations provide more bang for the buck Though this approach is an inexact science, in many instances, it’s savvy for homeowners to consider what buyers may want when planning home improve-ments. Homeowners may be surprised to learn which renovations garner the best ROI (return on investment) at resale. The home loan and refi-nancing company RenoFi indicates that overall home Garage door replacements ranked No. 1 on the Remodeling magazine’s return on in- vestment list. recouped of $2,206 cost.The majority of ren-ovations on Remodeling magazine’s list of the best investments are exterior renovations, making this area of a home a particular point of interest for home-owners. The only interior project that cracked the Top 10 ROI for projects was a minor midrange kitchen re-model.Exterior renovations per-haps add the most bang for your buck because they’re not only functional, but also because they add immediate curb appeal. Much in the way it has been said people eat with their eyes first — which is why chefs spend so much time on elaborate plating — buyers will judge a property by how it looks when they arrive, even be-fore they’ve stepped inside a home. In essence, home buyers often judge a book by its cover. A worn exteri-or may indicate to potential buyers that the home was not maintained, however false that assumption may be.It’s important for home-owners to consider all fac-tors before beginning a renovation. Certain projects offer a stronger return on investment than others, and that’s a significant consider-ation for homeowners think-ing of selling their homes. As any homeowner knows, renovation projects tend to cost a lot of money. The average cost of a home renovation is difficult to gauge, as such endeavors run the gamut from com-plex projects like a kitchen overhaul to simpler ones like painting a room inside a home. The National Asso-ciation of the Remodeling Industry notes that scope is what drives the cost of a renovation project.Though there might not be an average cost, home-owners can expect to spend thousands of dollars on projects that are not small. But there are budget-friend-ly ways to tend to the exteri-or of properties.• Power washing: Pow-er washing won’t break the bank but it can revive the look of a home. Power washing removes dirt and grime from the siding of a home and a power washing can be used to clean porch-es, walkways and patios. Power washers can be rented, but there are plenty of local professionals will-ing to do the job. Power washing after winter can be a good idea, as the elements can take a toll on a home’s exterior. A good power washing before spring and summer entertaining sea- son can thus give a home a fresh, clean look without breaking the bank.• Furnished front porch: A furnished front porch can serve as a welcome sign to neighbors and provide a great place to relax with a morning cup of coffee and a good book. Homeowners with a small porch won’t need to bust their budgets to upgrade their front porch furnishings. Some small chairs with bright cushions, a small table and a rug un-derfoot can revamp an en-tryway at low cost. Make your home look better without breaking the bank Adding a window box with flowers is an inex- pensive way to make your home look fresh.

Home-owners can hang window boxes outside windows on the front of their homes and then fill them with bright-ly colored flowers to add an inviting pop of color to their home exteriors. The experts at Better Homes & Gardens urge homeowners to take weight into consid-eration before buying win-dow planters. Keep in mind that soil and developed plants can be heavy, so look for a sturdy box as well as one that has drainage holes.• Replace hardware: An-other simple way to fresh-en up a stale exterior is to replace hardware. Door knobs, knockers, house numbers, and even the mailbox can appear dated after a while. Replacing these items is inexpensive and quick but can have a profound impact on how the exterior of a home ap-pears to residents and visi-tors.Exterior renovations need not break the bank. Various simple and inex-pensive tweaks can quickly revitalize the exterior of a home. According to the Turf-Mutt Foundation, which advocates for the care and use of backyards, commu-nity parks, and other green spaces, 2023 is the year of the master backyarder. Backyarding is the act of taking activities normal-ly done indoors to the out-doors. People are elevating their outdoor life to master backyarder status.“For Master Backyard-ers, living and working outdoors is an integral part of everyday life,” said Kris Better ... Kiser, president & CEO of the TurfMutt Foundation. “Time to relax?They go outside. Have a web call? They set up their laptop on their deck or patio. Have a party to throw? They do it in their backyard.” Ask yourself these ques-tions to see if you are a master backyarder: 1. Do you use your yard for recreation, like parties and barbeques? 2. Do you take work outside? 3. Have you created an outdoor fun zone for kids and pets? 4. Do you use your yard as a place to be still and de-stress? 5. Have you staged a staycation for your family in your own backyard? 6. o you recognize your backyard as an urban habi-tat, an important part of the connected ecosystem?7. Do you plant with pollinators and other back-yard wildlife in mind? 8. Have you added a mix of trees, shrubs, grass and flowering plants to your yard, putting the right plant in the right place? 9. Have you used your backyard or community park as a living science lab to teach kids hands-on STEM lessons? 10. Are you an outdoor evangelist who shares with friends and family about the benefits of getting out-side, starting in your own backyard? If you answered yes to the majority of the ques-tions, you are mastering outdoor life. “Master backyarders are inspirational, and we should all strive to level up our outdoor living to this status,” Kiser said. “This spring is the perfect time to take the next step to living life more outdoors.”For more information, sign up for Mutt Mail, a monthly e-newsletter with backyarding tips and news from the TurfMutt Founda-tion.
