Highway Patrol First Sgt. Philip Dixson.Dixson reported that at about 9:35 a.m., Earle McLau-rine Jr., 52, of Cedar Brook Lane, Mocksville, was driv-ing a Nissan SUV at a speed in excess of 100 mph through downtown Mocksville during a severe thunderstorm.McLaurine’s vehicle entered the intersection at North/South Main streets and Lexington Road and barely clipped a trac-tor trailer, Dixson reported. It then hit squarely on the driv-er’s door to Nance’s vehicle. He was killed on impact, the trooper said.Vehicles ended up in the parking lot of the Grubb Build-ing, damaging a parked vehicle and other property.McLaurine was charged with driving while license re-voked, DWI and felony death by motor vehicle, a charge which may be upgraded, Dix-son said.Troopers Richmond and White were the lead investiga-tors, aided by the Davie County Sheriff’s Office and the Mocks-ville and Cornatzer-Dulin fire departments. 100 mph through town One dead, one jailed after wreck at intersection By Mike BarnhardtEnterprise Record Follow your plan.Attorney Hank Van Hoy had that advice for members of the Mocksville Town Board last week. And they took it.On the line was a rezoning and annexation of 196 acres along Madison Road, US 64 West and Angell Knoll Ave. The land went from residential agricultural to industrial, with some conditions developers added after meeting with mem-bers of the adjacent communi-ty.Dozens of those neighbors showed up at the public hear-ings last week, filling the En-ergyUnited education building, opposed to the change they said will adversely affect their neighborhood and do nothing to add to what Mocksville says it wants for its future.The board vote was unani-mous.“Follow your land use plan,” Van Hoy said. “People want to know if you, the ultimate de-cider, will follow your land use plan or not. If you don’t follow it, why have it?”Van Hoy said the plan was developed by previous boards with plenty of chances of input from the public. The property, Van Hoy and other speakers said, was identified for indus-trial by the late Madison An-gell, whose family still owns The EnergyUnited education building is filled with Mocksville residents at public hearings last week for an indus- trial rezoning and annexation, most of them opposed to the request. - Photos by Mike Barnhardt Town says ‘yes’ to industrial rezoning Angie Lakey tells the board that the town’s people are more important than it’s wealth. Annexation adds nearly 200 acres to Mocksville the land.He told board members not to consider comments such as “I don’t want to see it,” who the parties involved are, how many show up in opposition, and “those who call you and threaten to take away business, which I understand has hap-pened to this board.”The previous board’s deci-sion was proactive, not reac-tive. The US 601/US 64 cor-rider has been on the books as land to be developed for indus-try.Van Hoy said he was repre-senting Angell Junker LLC, including the Angell family, Bill Junker, and John Reece, and said to check the quality of the Davie Industrial Center the same group is developing off Interstate Drive.Town Manager Ken Gam-ble assured the residents that the town has no intention of annexing their residences. In fact, they can’t. The only an-nexations allowed are ones that are requested by the property owner(s).He said that if Madison Road is widened, the property would come from the rezoned side. Things such as traffic and in-gresses and egresses are not known, and won’t be until studies and the N.C. Depart-ment of Transportation makes decisions.Rick Steinbacher talked about his father-in-law, Madi-son Angell. “Madison loved Mocksville. He loved Davie County. He loved and was beloved in this community. This zoning op-portunity is 100 percent con-sistent with my father-in-law’s wishes,” Steinbacher said, add-ing the he had talked about the greater good that would be cre-ated by rezoning the property, which was being encroached upon by development.“This rezoning is in the best interest for the community of Davie County and Mocks-ville.”Diane Foster said that Angell was aware of the seasons, in-cluding the end of his farming seasons. “Madison had to plan, and he did that a few months after a sewer line went across the middle of his farming prop- erty.”Angell met with local of-ficials in 2005 to solidify his plan for the property to be developed, Foster said. “He came to have a vision of what his land could be. He patient-ly waited, put in a road (An-gell Knoll Ave.) and sold a lot while still farming part of the property.”Terry Bralley, president of the Davie Economic Develop-ment Commission, said it was Angell who came to him with positive comments about in-dustrial development. Then he took off in Angell’s two-seat airplane from the property in question, flying around town looking at sites for develop-ment.

Box 99, Mocksville, NC 27028 Cooleemee Journal 1901-1971 The Literary Corner Renegade Writers Guild Tell us what you think Terry Bralley has it figured out Terry Bralley has it figured out.As president of the Davie Economic Development Commission, he sees first hand the popularity of this area. And it’s his job to match potential developers with property, which too often requires a rezoning change in front of a contentious public.That was the case last week in Mocksville. As usual, the developers won.Bralley sees it differently.“It’s called capitalism,” he told members of the Lewisville Clemmons Chamber of Commerce at a re-cent economic forum. “We happen to be in a very pop-ular part of North Carolina, which has seen some of the most growth out there with an additional 2.5 mil-lion since 2000. That’s a large amount of people. And you’re living close to an interchange here for conve-nience, and you want that cornfield to stay. That’s not going to happen.”But we like cornfields. Soybean fields. Sunflower fileds. Any field, even an empty one.But Bralley is more realistic. Our country is built on capitalism - making money. And that is what is driv-ing all of the development.He went on at the Clemmons meeting, explaining economy drivers and immigrants moving to the state.“In today’s world, it’s analytics, the harvesting of data and speed to market. It’s a changing world. Out of the seven fastest metropolitan areas in the U.S., we have two of them in Charlotte and Raleigh. And Asheville is the fastest growing city. We’ve got a lot of opportunities, and I believe the economy here is going to be stable.”He figured most folks would say Mexico when he asked what country the most immigrants to North Carolina came from in recent years. He was right, they were wrong. It’s India, “the largest English-speaking democracy in the world.”But back to those rezonings. Bralley had his own take on those, too. He jokingly called them “a lot of fun.”“You know what the No. 1 issue is? It’s traffic. Peo-ple move here from somewhere else, and they want it to be in the rural country side, and now you’re chang-ing all this,” he said.He hears his naysayers, but he doesn’t let them both-er him. When asked about the mindset of the commu-nity, he said: “I could bring a $100 million project to the table and hire a thousand people, but people don’t seem to care about it. They’re more interested in, you know, ‘Terry, you’ve done a great job. But when can you get a Chik-fil-A here’?”He understands the housing and employee issues, as well, and said companies don’t seem to care that much because both are nationwide problems. Pied-mont North Carolina is a historic home for manufac-turing. “It’s what we do. We make things. We have a history of that.”While still actively making Davie County one of the hottest spots in the state for manufacturing relocations and startups, Bralley can see the writing on the wall.We need new leadership. And by new, he means younger leadership ready to take the place of those serving today, like himself.“What we’ve got here together and being in great shape can drive our own future if we have the leader-ship in place.”Well said, Mr. Bralley.Like him or not, we’re lucky to have Terry Bralley on our side.What we need to avoid some of the recent conflicts is more participation in government from the people. Don’t wait until the rezoning hits your neighborhood. If the town or county ever offers a chance to be in-volved in a project, take advantage. Let them know what you think, then wait and see if those cornfields remain.- Mike Barnhardt SuspicionsBy Julie Terry CartnerLike her co-workers, Madeline Keegan breathed a sigh of relief. Friday afternoon, 2:00, and soon the first full week of the school year would be over. This week was always exciting, challenging, fun, exhila-rating, yes, all of these, but also, so very exhausting. Only teachers understood how difficult it was to learn the many faces, names, and personalities of each stu-dent so quickly. Children were tender, sensitive, and often insecure, and you never knew what trigger could send a child into a wretched ball of self-preservation. When children felt like they didn’t matter to you, sen-sitive ones would withdraw, and it could take months to woo them back out of their shells. So, it was im-perative to learn the children as quickly as possible, their names and the individual details that made each unique.In addition to the beginning of school duties, les-son plans, teaching, and supervising, and the night-time duties of grading assignments and aligning goals with the individual needs of each student, Maddie had made flash cards with each child’s name and identify-ing characteristics and had studied until she knew she could name each one.Now Maddie thought back through the list, making mental notes about each child. Jonathan is shy, but he can make friends. Monica is struggling in reading. Casey hates math, but he does okay in it, and Cami’s favorite period is recess. No wonder, Maddie thought, smiling, she’s got more energy than ten of me.Then on to the more concerning students, James, she was pretty sure, had dyslexic issues. And Pam had interpersonal issues. She wanted to be the leader of each group and, if not, to be chosen first. She wasn’t a bully yet, but Maddie knew third grade was a pivot-al year. She’d have to help Pam hone her leadership skills, turning her aggressive behavior into something more acceptable. Letting her eyes wander around her class, making sure each student was actually reading, rather than daydreaming, she smiled. She understood, they were as tired as she was. Then Maddie’s smile faded away when her eyes reached Thomas.Thomas, she thought, he’ll be the one to break her heart. The way he curled up in his desk chair, the way he avoided interacting with the other children, the way he wouldn’t meet her eyes, these were all red flags, but they were just tiny pennants compared to the flashing banners of the other issues. He flinched if anyone made a sudden move, he was wearing long sleeves in the heat of August, and most seriously, he occasionally winced in pain; these behaviors screamed at Maddie there probably was a problem.Of course, each symptom could be explained away: shyness for the first three, and some athletic pursuit like karate or soccer for the others. But when all com-bined, the possibility of abuse, whether it be bullying from other children or abuse from the home seemed a strong possibility. Maddie knew the laws, and she knew her responsi-bilities as a teacher. But one must tread very carefully in situations like these. If she were correct, well, that was one thing, but if she were mistaken, she could burn bridges that could never be rebuilt. Regardless of what was going on, Maddie had no doubt that Thom-as needed her, whether to bring him out of his shell or protect him, it mattered not. Maddie was a Mama Bear teacher; she protected all her cubs.Just then, Thomas raised his hand. And when his sleeve slipped down, she saw the bruises around his wrist. She gently answered his question, helping him with a vocabulary word, and, at the same time, firmed her resolve. She would report the suspected abuse to those in authority that very day. Children deserve to live their lives free from fear. They deserve to be loved and cherished. They never deserve angry bruises.• April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month. “In 2021, there were 588,229 victims of child abuse in the United States, [and] about 4.8 children died each day of abuse and neglect. [“Child Abuse in the United States.” Statista. 2023. statista.com. This only takes in the reported cases. In reality, the actual number is much higher. OrangesBy Marie CraigI was given about fifty oranges recently that were wonderful and sweet and seedless. I knew I couldn’t use them all, so it was fun to share them with neigh-bors. As I have enjoyed eating some of this citrus, I have had several strong memories come to me involv-ing oranges. My mother was raised on a farm in Sheffield. An orange was a very special treat to her. One of her un-cles had moved his family to Winston-Salem but came back to visit in Sheffield for Christmas one year. They brought my mother’s family a big box of oranges. Sa-voring an occasional orange turned into nonchalance as the family quickly and casually used them up. She said she’d walk by the place where food scraps went and wish she’d slowed down and appreciated them more. Perhaps a lesson in gratitude and being present in the moment were the lessons she learned. When I was in the first grade, I had a teacher who would end up in jail if she was teaching now. I brought my lunch, so I wasn’t involved in this orange story but watched it unfold. The other six-year-olds had been given an orange with their lunch. They came back to the classroom carrying oranges and the teach-er didn’t show up for some time. One child suggested that they use their big fat red pencils to punch a hole in the orange. Each child did this. Another child said, “I think we are supposed to roll them to make them juicier.” So the classmates did so, probably realiz-ing that they should have done this first. The teacher returned to find this mess. She went around the room feeling of every desk. If it was sticky, that child got a hard spanking. Even at that young age, I realized how unfair this was. No six-year-old can deal with preparing an orange to eat. An apple, maybe, but not an orange. The dining hall manager should have had more sense than that. The teacher was irresponsible in leaving her classroom alone. This mean teacher was just asking for trouble. A really good orange has a great aroma. There are so many pictures that pop in your mind when the peel is cut or torn. One year at Christmas, I prepared a few oranges for display in this manner. Whole cloves were inserted into the whole orange. This is a com-bination of wonderful fragrances. It is time-consum-ing and makes your fingers sore, but the pattern of the cloves and the great nostalgic smell are worth the ef-fort. Cloves help the orange decorations to last longer and be more aromatic to instill a sense of the holiday season.Oranges are special, not to mention their nutritional value to us. The Peebles FamilyBy Gaye HootsUntil I was 6 years old I lived at the end of Peo-ples’ Creek Road on my grandparents’ farm above the Yadkin River. Mr. Matt Peebles and his family lived on the adjoining farm, and I remember mother saying that she had told Genieva Peebles my name was Wan-da Gaye when I was born. Genieva referred to me as Wandering Gaye, which would have been a good fit. Mr. Matt was a good farmer and a well-known base-ball player. He had a son named James Peebles, whose family moved to our farmhouse at Advance, formerly owned by Anderson Potts.When we lived with Grandpa, another James Pee-bles worked for my dad, and we called him Jim. I believe Jim and James were related. Jim worked for Dad for twenty-five or more years, and he sometimes brought his son, a few years older than me, to work with him. His son was also named James Peebles but was called Bub.Once, I loaned Bub my slingshot, and he hit the side of our house with a stone. The swarm of bees nesting under the boards poured into my long hair. There were many stings, and my face was swollen for weeks. Bub did not know the bees were there and meant no harm.Jim worked on the farm at Marchmont when we moved there, and my brother told me that the morning after his wife died, he showed up for work as usual. Dad realized something was wrong, and Jim told him of the death. There were four children, two of them were young. We attended her funeral, and I was im-pressed by the music, which appealed to me more than any I had heard. Jim continued to work for Dad, and I rarely saw Bub as he grew older.I had often teased Jim with snakes when I was small, but he tried to look out for us. Once when I was seven, I missed the school bus and started the four-mile walk rather than return home. A relative of Jim’s picked me up and took me to school. When Jim learned of this, he told Dad, who instructed me never to do that again.When I was married and had small kids, I asked Jim to mow my yard for a few weeks when my last child was born. I had cut it with a push mower, but he made short work of it with a riding mower. One morn-ing as I was leaving to take the girls for a four-week checkup for the baby, a black racer curled up by my car. I usually did not harm black snakes, but because of the kids, I picked this one up with a stick and put it into an empty trashcan to deal with later.After the appointment, I returned home to find my front yard mowed, and the back not cut.

She was born on May 4, 1848. Hulda’s fam-ily moved to West Branch, Iowa, when she was 11. She attended the Universi-ty of Iowa for one semester before she dropped out to help her mother when her father died in 1867.In 1870, Hulda mar-ried Jesse Hoover, who was a blacksmith in West Branch. The family joined a religious group called the Quakers. Hulda and Jesse Hoover had three children. Herbert was their middle child.

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 dren were born in the fami-ly’s small two-room house, which is open today to peo-ple visiting West Branch. Jesse Hoover worked hard in his blacksmith shop to provide for his family. That shop or a reproduction of it is also open to the public.Jesse Hoover died sud-denly on Dec. 13, 1880 when he was 35. Mrs. Hoover was left with three children to care for, and she did that by sewing and rent-ing to boarders. She also became a Quaker minister and often traveled around Iowa to hold services. When she traveled away from home, her children stayed with relatives. On one trip, Hulda got sick and she never recov- ered. She had typhoid fever and died when she was 35 on Feb. 9, 1884. She was buried in the North Maple Cemetery in West Branch next to her husband, Jesse.Herbert, the Hoovers second son, lived with near-by relatives for a short period of time and then went to live with an uncle in Oregon when he about 11. The uncle was a doctor and a businessman. Her-bert was not happy living with the uncle, but he got enough education to enter Stanford University. He earned a degree in mining engineering and became a successful mining engineer. By 1914 when he was 40 years old, Herbert Hoover had become a millionaire. In 1929 he was inaugu-rated as the 31st President of the United States. Both of Hoover’s parents had been dead for many years when he became President. It is interesting that wealthy President Hoover, who lived in the Wal-dorf-Astoria Hotel in New York about the last 20 years of his life and hired four or The two-room home in West Branch, Iowa, where Herbert Hoover was born, and his father’s blacksmith shop there.

Jim was terrified of snakes and as a child, I would catch garter snakes to scare him. He assumed I was up to my old tricks and was having none of that.I always meant to ex-plain, but I never saw him again. I was substituting for a teacher at Shady Grove, and a grandson of Jim’s was in the second-grade class I was subbing for. He refused to follow instruc-tions and said he would leave the class. His class-mates told me their teach-er, who was taking mental health days, allowed him to go and stay out until the end of the day. I explained that would not happen and asked if Jim was his grand-father. I told him my maid- 1484 Hwy. 64 West, Mocksville, NC 336-751-3372 1328733 “Serving Davie County Since 1973” •Brakes • Tires • Batteries • Alignments • Scheduled Maintenance • Complete and Professional Auto Repair Herbert Hoover born humble; dies wealthy five secretaries to help him with his writing, chose the small town of West Branch, Iowa, to be his final resting place.

The next day he was sullen but compliant, and he told me Jim had said I was the meanest white girl he ever knew.A few years later, I was a teacher’s aide and had Bub’s son in my class. He told me he would do no schoolwork and no one could make him. I told him the other ten kids wanted to learn and that he could waste his time but not theirs and to sit quietly unless he changed his mind and chose to join us. He did join us and worked hard. The last time I saw him, he was a senior, tall and muscular. He said he had not had a grade lower than a C and had a football scholarship offer. A few years after that, he had a family and asked my daughter to tell me he was doing well.When I was at Shady Grove, Ruby Brown taught there. She was a sister to James Peebles and the daughter of Matt. James and his family lived on the farm at Advance, and we spent several summers working in tobacco with his family. His two daugh-ters were near my age, and we enjoyed time we spent together. I called Christine a couple of years ago. and she was doing well, but Mary had health issues.My brother called this week to inform me that Bub had died, I knew he was a barber and had his own business, but he had been a machinist also and worked at Ingersoll Rand for forty years. The Peebles family had a strong work ethic; some were teachers and coaches. I keep in touch with a grandson of James, whose grandkids I see in pictures on his site.

This is a situation where the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.”Charlene Hayes said two Davie companies are al-ready bringing in workers by bus, and said the board should consider some of the health factors employees face. She said she had not seen any restrictions on use of chemicals.Angie Lakey referenced a petition signed by 152 residents of the area. “The people are what makes Mocksville what it is, not the town’s wealth. The com-prehensive plan says people don’t want this.”Doug Lakey said that while Madison Angell is an “all American hero,” the board needs to think hard before making its decision. “The decisions you make are going to affect your children and your grand-children. I wouldn’t like future generations to look back and say ... what were you thinking.”Brad Hunter, former member of the Clemmons Planning Board, said the area is in a large housing shortage, and affordable housing for factory work-ers appears to be wanted by no community. “I don’t think you have enough in-formation yet to make a great decision. The county commissioners, they ap-proved Cana (Blackwelder inudstrial rezoning). They approved Farmington (Tri-West industrial rezoning). Slow down.”•Mayor Will Marklin thanked those for remaining civil during the emotional hearing. “That’s the way it should work.”Board members said lit-tle.Rob Taylor asked if there would be adequate buffers, because “some of these buildings can be huge.”Jenny Stephenson said she was on the commit-tee that recommended the comprehensive plan, and said there was little public input to make assumptions about the desires of the whole community which speakers had referenced.“This is a hard decision, and I am concerned about the buffer,” she said.There was a brief silence when the mayor asked for a motion to approve, deny or delay a decision, until Justin Draughn made the motion to approve the re-quests. Taylor, Stephenson and Johnny Frye also voted in favor of the rezoning and annexation.Board member Carl Lam-bert was not at the meeting because of a family emer-gency.

He earned the Crosby Scholarship from the Da-vie Community Foundation and attended Duke Univer-sity. While in high school, Brad thought he wanted to be an optometrist but or-ganic chemistry decided on his behalf that ophthal-mology school was not on his to-do list any longer. He said “we just didn’t see eye to eye.” Brad had a passion for history and pursued the field of being a professor. He grew up in a two-teacher household, so he has always been connected to educa-tion. After graduation, Brad got the opportunity to in-tern at State Farm corporate headquarters in Illinois. He then got a chance to move back to North Carolina and open his own agency. He now has his own office in Mint Hill, just outside of Charlotte. He married his wife in 2019 and lives just down the road from their office. “We have a beautiful life, so I’m very fortunate.” When asked what one or two important lessons he learned to get him to where he is today, he shared the following. “My dad’s favorite phrase is, ‘If you’re going to be a bear, be a grizzly.’ My mom and I love the Tim McGraw song that says, “Always be humble and kind.” And my wife taught me about how important it is to really listen to some-one when they’re talking to you, versus just waiting for your turn to talk. She’s a writer and spends a lot of time doing interviews, so listening is definitely a skill that she has and that she’s helped me develop. I think the world could use more people who really, truly lis-ten to others.“You don’t need to know who or what you want to become when you graduate high school. That’s okay. That’s normal. But in order to really be successful and to get the most out of life, you need to have a passion that drives you. Even if you don’t make any money from it, there’s no joy in life if you don't have something that you can fall back on when you’re having a bad day.” Even though Corriher is not back in Davie, he still calls Davie his home. “Whether you come back for a day, an hour, or for-ever, it’s still home. The restaurants or the faces may change, but the sense of family and community is still there. And that’s what drew me back to this area. “I don’t live in Davie County, but I love being close and being able to take my wife up and show her where I grew up. Interest-ingly enough, she’s from New York but her uncle grew up in Davie County, Organic chemistry changes scholar’s career path Brad and Lauren Corriher on their wedding day. too, so the connections are everywhere.”“The Davie Community Foundation is very proud to hear all of Brad’s accom-plishments in his personal life and professional,” said Jane Simpson, president and CEO. “Even though his path did not bring him back home, his roots are true and hold strong to our commu- nity. We cannot wait to see where the next 20 years will take you Brad. Thank you for your continued words of wisdom to our Davie youth.” Davidson-Davie Community College is excited to introduce you to local employers who need skilled workers in a variety of fields.

Understandably, many children stayed home where it was warm and dry, but the ones who were brave enough to show up had a great time. Umbrellas came in handy by collecting the egg shells after goodies were found inside. Three age groups had hid-den winning tickets. Each age group had three winners each. Easter baskets filled with goodies and prizes were handed to all winners.Peter Rabbit was there to have pictures made with the children who were happy to see him, but for one little guy that pushed back in-stead, took his hat off and Petter Rabbit tossed the egg inside his hat for a treat. After saying to a boy, “Wow, you have so many potatoes in your bucket!”, he said, “They are not pota-toes!” “Well, then what are they?”“They are eggs!”Without a doubt, each kid knew why they were there, to find and collect as many eggs as they could. Each and everyone left with smiles including the parents because their chil-dren had fun.

Having a short sermon inside the sanctuary was planned, and as everyone was being seated, a small band began setting up. Johnny Oceguera, lead pastor of Victory Baptist in Cooleemee has a good friend, Chad Harwell, part of a Word of Life commu-nity based out of New York.Harwell was aware the Over Flow Legacy traveling band, which is part of the Word of Life community, would be passing through and he asked Oceguera if they could play a few songs on Good Friday. Oceguera introduced Harwell, who shared a mov-ing message. The band played a song and attendees sang along. The band followed up with another song. The leaders of the band are Bobby Brown and wife Quimey Brown. Band member Lex Edwards, twin sister of Nay Edwards, last saw her family last August. Each band member makes a 9 month commitment to travel from state to state to share praises to those who say yes to church. The band delivered non-blaring music, which had a relaxing tone with pure spiritual lyrics. Just when you think all things are lost when an an-nual event is canceled, God steps in and arranges a change of plans that truly blessed all. Interim pastor Dr. Ken-neth Lance closed the ser-vice with prayer and all gathered in fellowship hall for hot coffee and breakfast. Feel free to contact me at 336.250.1133.

The old saying means some activity has begun to wear on you – in a good way. It might be a tradi-tion you experienced growing up in your family or culture, but now, it’s become part of you. Well, I’m proud to admit it. I’ve got a bit of NASCAR racing around in my blood. When I was young, the food scene at the races looked a lot dif-ferent than it does today There were no gourmet burger food trucks or farm-to-truck, gluten-free, or vegan options. Neverthe-less, track-side concession stands offered some mighty good munch-ies – simple, fair-style foods like footlong dogs, beefy burg-ers, pimento cheese sandwiches wrapped in waxed paper, greasy, seasoned fries, pink cotton candy, caramel corn, and salty roasted peanuts in the shell. Dangerous and life-shortening kind of stuff, but we indulged in every bite of it. I spent many Saturday nights at the racetrack in my hometown, Nashville, Tenn. Daddy would take my little brother to the local track – I was the perfect age to tag along. There was nothing more exciting than the pace car taking that final lap before the green flag was dropped. And oh, how those brightly colored race cars would shine under stadium lights – illuminating the black pavement as cars zoomed around a Figure 8 track. Talk about exciting – I still love the sport, today.The Winston Cup Museum in downtown Winston-Sa-lem was the location for a recent social hosted by Rotary Club of Western Forsyth. Co-hosted by the Clemmons and Reynolda Rotary clubs, the purpose was to introduce guests to the museum as well as to Rotary’s mission of “Service Above Self.” And as you could guess, a few tasty edibles begged to be part of the event. That’s just how we do things in the South. Like the cars – we gotta get the food revved up and running. The museum showcased a nice spread of eats amidst vintage racing memorabilia. Among meaty options were savory beef meatballs, flavored wings, and sea-salt crab-cakes – all with delectable dipping sauces. Offered along-side were baked pimento cheese and tidbit trays of veggies with dip. The checkered flag ending was a decadent, cocoa brownie that made for an awesome, sweet finish. Being a member of local civic clubs involves active ser-vice in your community – getting out there and doing good with others and for others. God is in our community – and it’s God’s desire that we serve folks. Serving is a sign of mature faith.In Romans 12: 4-5, Paul pointed out how we should work together – much like all the parts of our bodies work together. We work better together than alone. “Just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ, we who are many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others.” We each have received gifts from God. In 1 Peter: 10-11, Peter tells us that the purpose of our gifts is for serving oth-ers – and not for personal enjoyment. “Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God’s grace in its various forms.” (NIV)When you serve – you’re pouring out God’s grace. Serv-ing is a form of worship – another way we express grati-tude for what Jesus has done for us. Anyone can plant a vegetable, bake a brownie, or sweep a floor – if you have an hour or two, just volunteer. The best gifts come from our hearts. Please show up and serve any way you can. The world needs us. I promise the impact of your service will be greater than you realize. For it is in giving and serving – that we receive.

Race track munchies change over the years DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, April 13, 2023 - B1Sports By Brian PittsEnterprise Record When the San Francisco Giants released their minor league report with outlooks for their top 10 pros-pects entering the 2023 season, Carson Whisenhunt checked in at No. 8 on the list. The 2019 Davie graduate is a 6-3 lefthanded starting pitcher. He was the 66th overall pick in the 2022 draft. He made four mound appearances in 2022 at the rookie league and Single-A levels, including three starts. Opponents only hit .207 against him, and in 7.2 innings, he walked one and struck out seven. The Giants believe Whisen-hunt, 22, has a major-league changeup right now. He reported to Low-A San Jose to begin the season. “Carson has all the makings of being a guy who plays at multiple levels this year,” farm director Kyle Haines said. “I’d say the biggest thing is I throw (the changeup) just like my fastball,” Whisenhunt said. MerrifieldAfter struggling for most of the 2022 season for Kansas City, Whit Merrifield, who graduated from Davie in 2007, found his groove after getting traded to Toronto in August. He hit .281 in the final 44 games, including .400 in the final 18 games. He started six of the first eight games in 2023. Batting anywhere from fifth to eighth in the order, he put together a five-game hitting streak in the first week or so of the season. He saw time at second base, left field and right field. “I’m ready to play wherever,” Merrifield told reporters. “It’s like playing on an All-Star team. There’s potential damage all the way through the lineup.”“He’s ready to roll,” Toronto manager John Schneider said. “He’s a gamer that brings such a unique piece to our lineup with his speed, contact ability and his defensive versatility. He’s gonna be a big part of what we are doing By Brian PittsEnterprise Record For the second time this season, the Davie and Mt. Tabor soccer teams waged an incredible defen-sive struggle. But for the second time, the Davie varsity ended up on the short end of a 1-0 decision, this one coming in overtime at War Eagle Stadium on March 27. In 2022, Tabor squeaked out a 2-1 win over Davie before the War Eagles got 1-0 revenge in overtime. Earlier this season in a tournament at West Forsyth, the Spartans prevailed 1-0. “Us, Tabor and Reynolds fin- here.”Merrifield was the face of the Royals for seven years. He was a two-time All-Star and a two-time American Legion stolen base leader. In 2018, he led the majors in hits and steals. In 2019, he broke the Royals’ hitting-streak record, a mark that George Brett held for almost 40 years. He set a Kansas City record for consecutive games played at 553. He was a constant in the leadoff spot. On April 3, Merrifield was a visitor at Kauffman Stadium for the first time as the Blue Jays faced the Royals. “All the teammates and people I got to share that clubhouse with, they’re still some of my best friends today,” Merrifield said. Merrifield may not be an ev-eryday player like he was from 2016-22, but Schneider says the 34-year-old veteran will play an important role on and off the field. “Whit’s awesome in the club-house, a veteran leadership pres-ence,” Schneider said. “He’s a guy that has been through the grind.”WalkerJeremy Walker experienced every little kid’s dream when he made his major league debut with the Atlanta Braves on July 26, 2019. He tossed a scoreless inning that night and did good work in 9.1 innings late in the season, striking out nine and compiling a 1.93 ERA. But the 2013 Davie graduate faced enormous adversity after that shining moment. A shoul-der labrum injury sidelined the righthand reliever for the entire 2020 season. In February of 2021, he was released from the Braves, who drafted Walker in the fifth round in 2016. Twelve days later, he signed a minor league contract with the Giants. Then he suffered a broken humerus bone in his right arm, forcing him to miss all of the 2021 season. Last August, he was traded from the Giants to the Rays, who sent him to Triple-A Durham.

I tell the girls we’ve got to control the control-lables.”Two Davie shots came oh so close to penetrating the goal, but unlucky Davie ultimately slipped to 1-2 in the Central Piedmont Conference. “Somebody took a shot and it hit the crossbar and popped back to Lexi Kulis,” he said. “Lexi shot a rebound and it hit the crossbar.”Not for the first time, the War Eagles played superb defense. (To this point, they’d held five of seven opponents to one or zero goals.) Goalie Avery Yount made a classic save. “They had a shot that Avery made a heck of a save on,” he said. “It was a lower-90 shot. I feel like I’ve said this time and time again, but it’s the best save that she’s made. It went around the bar. This one was crazy.” Please See Battle - Page B4 By Brian PittsEnterprise Record As a tribute to Charles Kurfees’ long run of coaching Legion base-ball, we’re taking a walk down memory lane to some of his most celebrated wins. It was a comeback from base-ball heaven: Down 6-2 in the bot-tom of the ninth of an elimination game in the playoffs. One strike from defeat on multiple occasions. Then a 7-6 victory that was ex-hausting and riveting. As any fan who was at Rich Park on July 12, 2011 will tell you, the Mocksville Senior Legion baseball team’s late rally past East-ern Randolph is one of the greatest games they’ve ever witnessed. The hero was Zach Long, who knocked in the tying and winning runs with a two-out, two-strike hit to the left-field corner in the ninth. Delirious teammates tack-led Long as a dogpile celebration ensued between the mound and shortstop. The dogpile included Zach’s father, Del Long, who rushed the field. “That was one for the books,” By Brian PittsEnterprise Record Nobody loves baseball more than Charles Kurfees. Nobody cares more about American Legion baseball than Charles Kurfees. But after coaching Mocksville American Legion baseball for 19 years, Kurfees is ready for a break. He announced in February that he’s stepping down as the Mocksville Senior Legion coach, bringing an end to an era. A search for a new coach has been ongoing since the Feb. 16 announcement. “I loved it,” Kurfees said. “We had some good times and I met some great people.”Kurfees has been a fan or a part of the Mocksville program in some capacity since its inception in 1982. He was a natural choice to start the Junior Legion program in 2003. He led the juniors for seven years and posted six winning sea-sons as they finished 29-8, 27-14, 11-17, 30-12, 35-7, 19-13 and 18-15. His Junior Legion record from 2003-09 was 169-86. When Mike Lovelace resigned as Senior Legion coach following the 2009 season, Kurfees took over Kurfees stepping down as Legion coach Dogpile after 9th inning win in 2011 game coach Charles Kurfees said. “That’s one of the best ever. I haven’t seen that in I don’t know how long.”Last week, Kurfees added: “Three or four people jumped the fence. It was the damnedest thing I’ve ever seen. I didn’t have any choice but to jump on there with them.”“It’s stuff like that that makes memories you’ll never forget,” assistant coach Todd Bumgarner said then. “Unbelievable. I’m still shaking.”“You couldn’t ask for anything better than that,” Javan Phillips said. “Things started to unravel (for E. Randolph), and things happened in weird ways.”“Coach Bum always says keep playing till the last pitch, and that was definitely it right there,” Alex Newman said. “I’ve never been a part of anything like that.”Mocksville improved to 17-11, including 3-1 in the double-elim-ination tournament. Randolph finished 14-12. Randolph had firm control of the game, unimaginably scoring five runs in the first three innings against Mocksville workhorse DJ Webb. Randolph pushed the mar-gin to 6-2 in the sixth. “With (Webb) on the mound, I figured they wouldn’t score many runs,” Tyler King said. “I thought as long as we score a few runs, we’re going to get the win. I really don’t know how to explain why that pitcher (Randolph’s Christian Snider) kept getting outs. I guess we just had to wait till the very last inning to put it all together.”Snider made life difficult for Mocksville for eight innings. It had scored two runs in a span of 17 innings. Mocksville was done. Through. But then Mocksville rose from the ashes. The stop-the-presses rally started when Caleb Brawley’s long drive near the right-field line was dropped. The next batter, ninth-place King, jerked a double to left, the laser short-hopping the fence and chasing Snider from the game. “We were jacked up,” Long said. “We were battling and fight-ing. But I didn’t know anything that special was going to come up.” End of an era in Legion ball that position. His 12 Senior squads went 148-187. Kurfees had 15 assistant coach-es during his 19-year run in Amer-ican Legion baseball. They were Andrew Jones, Todd Bumgarner, Dan Lawlor, Denny Key, Brian Bishop, Joel Brizek, Anslo Fowler, Jacob Tutterow, Patrick Usher, Matt Tullock, Tim McKnight, Aaron Hollifield, Robbie Fox, Mike Dinkins and David Whitaker. As much as Kurfees, 55, loves baseball, he grew increasingly frustrated in recent years. Once upon a time, American Legion baseball attracted all of the top players. But it’s gotten harder and harder to get firm commitments; 18-man rosters are rare these days. The declining interest took its toll on Kurfees. “Times have changed,” he said. “Kids don’t want to play like they used to.”But Kurfees wouldn’t trade the past 19 years for anything. “The relationships have been really good,” he said. “I met some great coaches, great leaders in oth-er organizations, some really good Please See Era - Page B2 Please See Dogpile - Page B2 Freshman Aubrie Pulaski heads the ball for Davie’s varsity. - Photo by Marnic Lewis B2 ‑ DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, April 13, 2023 Continued From Page B1umpires, a lot of people who have become good friends. If it hadn’t been for (the as-sistant coaches), I wouldn’t have been able to do half of what I did.”Kurfees will stay in-volved in Mocksville base-ball. You’ll still see him at the ballpark, and he is hop-ing to keep the fall league going. “I won’t say I’m getting out of it forever, but I need Continued From Page B1Newman drew a walk to load the bases with none out. “To be honest, I thought the game was over,” King said. “But then I got on and Newman walked. About that time, I thought we’ve actually got a chance. That was the most intense game I’ve ever been in.”Reliever Ty Powell’s first offering hit Phillips on the shoulder, pushing a run across to make it 6-3. Powell gave way to Tyler See. “(Bumgarner) told me to crowd the plate, so I got as close as I could,” Phillips said. “I have never been so happy to get hit by a pitch.”“The fans down the third-base line were feeling it,” Kurfees said. “They were tasting blood.”Tyler Jordan, who smacked a two-run homer in the first to give Mocks-ville a short-lived 2-1 lead, hit a sac fly to make it 6-4. The next batter struck out. Mocksville was down to its last strike when Connor Bodenhamer fell behind 0-2. The next pitch hit him on the arm to load the bases and bring up Long. Dogpile ... Era ... By Brian PittsEnterprise Record Pitcher Zack Rus-sell-Myers had another game to remember. The Mocksville Junior Legion baseball team got another victory to savor. In the first round of the 2007 state tournament in Cherryville, Mocksville beat Wayne County 2-1 in 12 innings. Russell-Myers pitched all 12 innings in a remarkable three-hit per-formance. Mocksville won the first two games in Cherryville before losing twice. It wound up third in the state. Mocksville tied the Wayne County game in the sixth, when Clint Howell singled home Zeb Cope. Mocksville won it in the bottom of the 12th, when Matthew Nifong knocked in Zach Long. But it was Russell-My-ers who defied logic. He didn’t give up a hit over the final eight innings, allowing three baserunners during By Brian PittsEnterprise Record In the championship game of the 2007 Area III tournament at Rich Park, the Mocksville Junior Le-gion baseball team looked like it was going to lose to nemesis Rowan County for the millionth time. Rowan, though, could not find a way to put away determined Mocksville. In a game filled with tension from the first pitch to the last swing, Mocks-ville overcame defensive and base-running mistakes by scoring three runs in the bottom of the seventh inning to stun Rowan 3-2. The thrilling win gave Mocksville (33-5) the area title and a berth to the state tournament in Cherryville. Matt Leonard scored the clinching run when Row-an’s pitcher misjudged a mile-high, one-out popup by Jess Cartner. That set off complete bedlam at home plate, with players leaping up and down and fans cheer-ing madly. “Oh my Lord. That was crazy,” said Jacob Vernon, who had the second of two clutch hits in the seventh. “We were frustrated because we’ve been working hard all Junior Legion wins ‘07 area title in dramatic fashion summer and we didn’t want to come this far for nothing. I’ve lost to them every year I’ve been here, and this is so sweet.”“It was probably the most exciting moment of my life when Jess hit that popup a mile high in the air and they dropped it,” winning pitcher Bret Peterson said. “It’s the best feeling in the world, and it’s that much better because it’s Rowan County,” said Zeb Cope, who tied the game at 2 with a laser single. Coaches Charles Kurfees and Andrew Jones soaked up the postgame scene. What fun it was for them. Coming into 2007, Mocksville was 7-17 against Rowan, which ended Mocksville’s season in 2003, 2005 and 2006. Needless to say, Mocksville was fed up with losing to Rowan (26-5). “You would have thought we won the World Series,” Kurfees said, wearing a big grin. “I got doused (by the water cooler). I’m proud to be a part of it.”With a runner on second in the third, Rowan laid down a bunt, Mocksville threw the ball away and it was 1-0 Rowan. Mocksville made a one-out error in the sixth. After a two-out walk, Rowan singled to make it 2-0. A loss and Mocksville would have faced a must-win game the next day against hot-hitting Kern-ersville, as two state berths were on the line in the dou-ble-elimination tournament. “I kept looking at the scoreboard and they had two runs on two errors,” Kurfees said. “The errors were killing us. I was al-ready thinking about the game tomorrow night.”The game was frustrating because Mocksville had chances in the third, fourth, fifth and sixth. It had a runner picked off, it had a runner thrown out trying to steal and Rowan turned a 6-4-3 double play. “It was real intense,” Peterson said. “I had to keep my mind straight and try to keep my emotions out of the game. I wasn’t hitting good, and I tried not to get upset when the ump wasn’t giving me a call.”While Mocksville’s bats were sputtering, Peterson was doing exactly what Zack Russell-Myers did to Asheboro the day before in a 5-0 win. He contained a powerful lineup, holding Rowan to six hits and two unearned runs. He struck out seven and walked two. “You can’t ask for any-body to do any better than that, and he didn’t deserve to get beat 2-0,” Kurfees said. “I think the players knew it, and they stepped up.”With Mocksville’s back against the wall in the bot-tom of the seventh, Peter-son helped himself with a leadoff walk. John Flowers appeared as a pinch hitter and was hit by a pitch. With two on and Mocksville sud-denly energized, Leonard put down a beautiful bunt. His blazing speed forced a hurried throw, and the throw wound up down the right-field line. Peterson scored easily. Flowers raced around third before putting on the brakes. Cope delivered a nerve-soothing, tying hit up the middle. The bullet eluded a leaping shortstop and elicited a roar from the Mocksville Mountain. “I had two errors, but my teammates got on, every-thing fell into place and I got a hit to redeem myself,” Cope said. “As soon as (Cope) hit that ball, I jumped up in the air,” Peterson said. “I was screaming and yelling. I just wanted to get out there and give him a hug.” With one out, Vernon came through with an infield hit, barely beating the throw from short and loading the bases for Cartner. Then came the high pop fly. The pitcher staggered to it and it glanced off his glove. Rowan watched helplessly as Leonard streaked home. The unforgettable come-back came on Charles and Kay Kurfees’ 16th wedding anniversary. While the late rally be-came the 33-win season’s defining moment, the story of the game was Peterson. Rowan’s 1-4 batters went 2 for 16. The cleanup man went 0-4 with three strike-outs. “We’ve had some good ones, but when you’ve got pressure on the line like that, hey, that’s got to be the best (pitching performance) of the year,” Kurfees said. “He threw a lot of first-pitch breaking balls, he kept them offbalance and he threw a lot of balls in the dirt with two strikes.”With a smile, Peterson said: “My teammates were backing me up. It was prob-ably the best game I’ve ever pitched.” Russell-Myers pitches 12 innings in state tourney win that span. “I’ve never seen a kid pitch 12 innings - never,” assistant coach Andrew Jones said. “That’s the kind of stuff you hear from the 1950s. You don’t hear about a kid going 12 innings any-more. To give up three hits in 12 innings, that’s what’s unbelievable. He wasn’t focussed on throwing it hard. He was letting his movement do the trick. His ball was dropping, and he was throwing seven, eight pitches an inning.”How could you be more spectacular in back-to-back outings? Two games earlier in the Area III tournament at Rich Park, Russell-Myers led a 5-0 win over Asheboro. In the Asheboro and Wayne County games combined, the righthander and rising senior at Davie went 19 innings, gave up eight hits, one run, four walks and struck out 16. Coach Charles Kurfees didn’t summon activity in the bullpen “until the 11th when we got Long up,” he said. “We’d send three bat-ters up and they’d send three batters up. It was popups and groundballs. They had four- and five-pitch innings. It was something else.”Russell-Myers was so efficient he averaged 11.1 pitches per inning. He had a one-hitter over the last 11 innings. As if that’s not enough, he made a stellar defensive play. “He was throwing harder in the 10th and 11th than he was in the second and third innings,” Kurfees said. “He came toward the third-base line, barehanded a one-hop-per and threw across his body to get the boy out. It was an unbelievable play.”Meanwhile, Wayne County’s pitcher was mak-ing quick work of Mocks-ville, which fell behind 1-0 in the first. “I think their pitcher went 11 (innings),” Kurfees said last week. “Zack threw two three-pitch innings. It was unreal. And their pitcher did the same thing.”Mocksville gave its fans chills in the sixth. Cope singled and later moved up to second. Howell tied the game at 1-1 with an oppo-site-field single to right.“It kept you on the edge of your seat,” Kurfees said. “It was a dang good crowd. I couldn’t believe the fol-lowing.”Mocksville (34-5) pulled out its seventh straight win in the 12th. Long slapped one on the right-field chalk for a double. That put the spotlight on No. 9 batter Nifong. “I said: ‘If Long gets on, you’re going to bunt him over,’” Kurfees said. “Nifong said: ‘What if he’s on second?’ I said: ‘Then you’re going to hit one in the gap.’ He looked at me and smiled real big, and by gosh he ripped it.”With two outs and the count full, Nifong picked the perfect time for his one hit, lacing a single to right-cen-ter to score Long. The walk-off win gave Mocksville a memory to cherish for a lifetime. “The kid laid out for it and couldn’t come up with it,” Jones said. “Nifong does what he’s supposed to do everyday. He comes ready to play with a great attitude.”Notes: Shortstop Bret Peterson made a defensive gem in the 11th, leading to an ejection of the Wayne County coach. “He went back in the hole and threw a guy out on a bang-bang play (at first),” Kurfees said. ... Catcher Jacob Vernon suffered a broken ring fin-ger on his catching hand in the first inning. No matter. He stayed in and caught all 133 of Russell-Myers’ pitches. “That took a lot of guts. That’s pretty incredi-ble,” Jones said. “He started dropping some balls because he was hurting, but then he put three fingers to the side and caught the pitches with his index finger and thumb.” “When we had bases loaded, I was just pray-ing something (big) would happen,” Webb said. “And it happened with two outs.”A pitch got away and Newman raced home. It was 6-5 with runners at second and third. Long’s at-bat against See was an epic struggle. With the count full, Long fouled off two fastballs. “I trusted my prepara-tion and focussed on stay-ing short through the ball, keeping my head down and making contact,” Long said. “In the back of my mind, I knew he was going to throw me a curveball.”“I was on third base and thinking: ‘Dear Lord, please let it happen,’” Phillips said. “I hollered to him three times: ‘Right man, right spot,’” Bumgarner said. “I heard Ricky (Lagle) up there hollering: ‘Come on, Zach.’” Long pulled a curveball into the corner, the bul-let driving in Phillips and Bodenhamer. Mocksville went nuts. “I just had a feeling that he was going to come through,” Bumgarner said. “I didn’t know he was go-ing to hit a ball that about knocked the wall down.”“You can’t explain (the feeling),” Phillips said. “Connor was flying. That’s probably the fastest I’ve ever seen him run.”“They said daddy (Sonny Kurfees) got so excited that he left the money box,” Kurfees said. The players jumped on each other. Unable to con-tain his excitement, Del Long joined the pile. “I don’t know where he came from,” Bumgarner said. “He was out there before I could get there. He gave Zach the biggest hug I’ve ever seen.”“I was racing Boden-hamer to the plate,” Kurfees said. It was only fitting that it was Long who capped the Miracle in Mocksville. He was a part of the Legion program for six years. “He threw me that curve-ball and I just stayed down on it - short swing right through it,” Long said. “So glory be to God on that one.”Webb staged a turn-around after giving up his sixth run in the sixth. He retired 10 of the last 11 batters. He walked none and struck out 11 while im-proving to 7-0 and recording his sixth complete game in nine starts. “He could have come over and said: ‘Coach, I don’t have it tonight. Get me out,’” Bumgarner said. “But he kept battling. I asked him: ‘If we tie this up, can you give me one more?’ He said: ‘I’m not coming out.’” a break from it - a big-time break,” he said. “It was a little frustrating at times. I might get back into coach-ing a little bit of (fall league) or helping with that. We’ve got to keep the fall league going. “It’s been a great ride and I don’t want to see the program go away. It’s too good of a program and the kids who aren’t playing are missing out. It’s something they’re going to remember the rest of their lives.”When the news came out on the Mocksville Le-gion Facebook page, people spoke glowingly of the man who is synonymous with Mocksville baseball. Andrew Jones wrote: “Proud to coach with this man for many years. He took a chance with an 18 year old as his assistant on the Junior Legion squad and we won a lot of games to-gether. Thank you, Charles, see you at the ticket booth hanging out.”Johnny Meadows: “One of the best in the business. Great person and great friend.”Lonnie Barnes: “I played a many years with this guy. He was definitely a players coach.”Sherry Sheek King: “Thanks for all you did, the encouragement you gave to not only my son but every kid who played for you. You will never know how much you were appreciated.”Sherry Sasser: “Thanks for everything, coach. Your presence will surely be missed at Mando.”Dale Boger Arrington: “He is a good one. Thanks for your heart and soul for the game and the young men you have coached.”Blake Little: “Lucky enough to play under Kurf for three years. Great coach, even better man.” Charles Kurfees (left) with assistant Todd Bumgarner. Kurfees has a chat with Shelton Howard in 2007. DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, April 13, 2023 ‑ B3 Deer hunters across North Carolina – and par-ticularly in northwest North Carolina and the northern Piedmont – will have to jump through a few more hoops because of chronic wasting disease, the fatal neurological disorder that showed up in a Yadkin County deer in 2021.The N.C. The Wildlife Resources Commission announced last week that it has initiated rule-making and is accepting comments on rules to address CWD in some new areas.A virtual hearing will be held on April 18 at 2:30 p.m. Sportsmen wishing to comment can register at www.ncwildlife-org.zoomgov.com/webinar/register/WN_BGZ_r4hCS-T6YvuL2ngwS9Q.Sportsmen can also comment through April 28 at www.ncwildlife.org/Pro-posed-Regulations.The commission has tested more than 10,000 whitetails across the state since July 1, 2022, plus thousands more deer before 2022, and 10 have tested positive.The first deer that tested positive was a 2½-year-old buck killed during the 2021-22 season in northern Yadkin County. That set in motion a series of regula-tion changes from the com-mission designed to try and keep the disease pinned in a relatively small area, and to ramp up testing in that area to determine the extent of the disease’s movement. The commission set up primary and secondary surveillance areas in Yad-kin, Surry, Stokes, Forsyth, Davie and parts of Wil-kes, Iredell and Alleghany counties.Several more deer from Yadkin and Surry counties tested positive since the first buck showed up with CWD, and the commission was able to keep its origi-nal surveillance areas – the primary being a circle with a 5-mile radius around the spot of the kill, the second-ary being a circle with a 30-mile radius around the spot of the kill.But this past season, the disease jumped the fire break the commission set up in a big way. First, a deer from Cumberland County tested positive, then deer from Stokes and Wilkes counties tested positive. The location of those kills has forced the commission to expand its surveillance zones to include new areas.Addressed in the rule-making will be chang-es to regulations that add to the primary surveillance ar-eas portions of Wilkes and Stokes counties in north-west North Carolina and Cumberland County in the Sandhills area. The regu-lation changes also extend secondary surveillance ar-eas to include Alexander, Alleghany, Ashe, Guilford and Rockingham counties, along with Bladen, Harnett, Hoke, Robeson and Samp-son counties.In the surveillance zones, fawn rehabilitation is prohibited, the trans-fer of whitetail glands and produced secretions out of the area is prohibited, the transportation of deer car-casses out of the primary surveillance zones is pro-hibited with certain excep-tions, supplemental feeding and baiting of any birds and wildlife, including mineral sites, is prohibited except from Sept. 1-through Jan. 10, and testing of all deer killed in the primary and secondary surveillance zones is required during certain periods during the season.It often takes 18 months before a deer infected with CWD begins to show symptoms. The disease has been detected in 29 states and four Canadian provinc-es. There is no vaccine and no way to test live deer for the disease.Youth turkey harvest may be up over 2022Through the first two days of the youth spring wild turkey season, it ap- pears the harvest could be up over last season, based on N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission statistics.Through Sunday, April 3, hunters under the age of 18 had tagged 1,733 tur-keys, including 1,527 long-beards and 266 jakes. The youth-only season lasted through April 7, before the regular season opens on Saturday, April 8 for a four-week run.Last spring, youth hunt-ers took 1,777 turkeys during their week in the woods, including 1,439 longbeards and 338 jakes. With schools on spring break in many North Caro-lina counties, there appears to be a good chance that the 2023 harvest may approach 2,000 birds.The record youth-season harvest was in 2020 – 2,763 birds – which foreshad-owed the record statewide harvest of 23,431 birds. The 2021 harvest – the second-highest on record – was 21,974 birds, with 2,172 killed during the youth season. Hunters in a handful of counties will have to fol- low new regulations when deer season arrives this fall as the NC Wildlife Resources Commis- sion deals with new areas where chronic wast- ing disease has been found. 10 of 10,000 deer test positive for wasting disease 132 Interstate Drive Mocksville, NC 27028 (336) 753-8473 Hours: Mon. - Fri. 7:30 - 5:30 MockBerothTire.com 11 LOCATIONS TO SERVE YOU! 100$INSTANT SAVINGS 1 GET UP TO $70 $60WHEN YOU BUY A SET OF 4 ELIGIBLE BRIDGESTONE TIRES WHEN YOU BUY A SET OF 4 ELIGIBLE FIRESTONE TIRES WHEN YOU USE YOUR CFNA CREDIT CARD2$30 OFFER VALID 04.01.23 - 04.30.23 1 Receive $70 off 4 eligible Bridgestone tires or $60 off 4 eligible Firestone tires purchased between April 1 and April 30, 2023.

DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, April 13, 2023 - B5 By Brian PittsEnterprise Record Davie’s JV soccer team didn’t pull a magical upset when it visited West For-syth on March 29, but the 3-0 loss was a step. In fact, it was a big step for a program that has dropped 18 straight games, including a 0-5 record in 2023. The margin was only 2-0 until late in the game. There was a lot to like, especially after losses of 8-0 to Reynolds, 9-0 to Rea-gan and 7-0 to Mt. Tabor. “We demonstrated tre-mendous improvements,” B.Mark Rogers Auctioneer/ Sales Manager NCAL #685 |336-789-2926 www.RogersAuctionGroup.com FORSYTH COUNTY NC REAL ESTAT EAUCTION 1PM -Saturday,April 29 60.9537+- Acres in Lewisville, NC 1760 CrashoreDrive,Lewisville is one access to the property Ideal for residential development Public water near the site Mostly wooded and rolling topography with streams Auction held at the Historic Broyhill Offices 3540 Clemmons Road, Banquet Room Clemmons,NC27012 Online Bidding Av ailable XNSP3306 said coach William Boswell, who joined the staff after the season began and took over the JV squad. “Af-ter disheartening losses to Reynolds, Reagan and Mt. Tabor, the ladies showed their growth as a team, keep-ing the Titans off the score-board for 25 minutes. The final goal came with under four minutes remaining.“I told the team after the game that I’d like to take credit for the improvement, but it is they who put in the work and executed during the match. If they can con-tinue to improve through-out the season, the second time through the conference should prove much more satisfying.”Being able to contain West’s attack was a testa-ment to defenders Ella Little and Monica Ramirez and goalie Gracie Finley. “Much praise for the re-sult has to go to the defense, anchored by the veteran leadership of Ellis and Mon-ica,” Boswell said. “I can’t heap enough praise on Gra-cie - first for being willing to play goalkeeper and second for taking such great strides to improve her play in each subsequent match.” JVs take big step at West Caylee Willard looks to outmaneuver her opponent.

B6 - DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, April 13, 2023 Spend a little time talking with Shane Nixon about his time as the Davie boys tennis coach and you will in-evitably hear him talk about how “his kids develop into young men” as something that makes him happiest. Nixon is a competitor and likes to win, and his teams have done plenty of winning (93-39 in nine years). But Nixon won’t talk nearly as much about the cham-pionships (regular-season and tournament titles in 2017 and the regular-sea-son crown in 2021) as he will about the quality of the young men he’s had what he deems a “privilege” to coach. Ask him about it right now and he’ll tell you that this senior class maybe best personifies what he means by it. This senior class of War Eagles on the tennis team is made up of three very different young men - not that they don’t have some similarities. Each has been a part of the program for four years. Each is an excellent student. All three are cap-tains of this year’s squad. Nixon would add that each is at least as good a person off the court as each is a player.

Nixon said: “I’ve had small senior classes like this before. A couple years back, my son was part of a senior class that was also three guys strong and is among the winningest in Davie tennis history. But those guys had more in common than they had dif-ferences. My three captains this year are just different guys.” The conversation about Davie tennis, at least on the men’s side, has now started and ended for four years with one name, Burke Rosenbaum. Nixon seems to never have an end to the compliments he has for his best player. “Burke is a wonderful tennis player,” he said. “His hands are remarkable, his fitness is amazing, there isn’t anything he can’t do on a tennis court. The way he thinks about the game, it is like he is playing chess when his opponent is usual-ly playing checkers.” Rosenbaum has been Davie’s No. 1 seed since the day he showed up on campus. He’s a two-time CPC Player of the Year, and would almost surely have been a three-timer if COVID had not robbed him of all but 6 matches his freshman campaign. “Burke’s career ... I mean ... give us just a normal year that COVID year and you’d be talking about a guy who is a three- or four-time player of the year who helped win two CPC team championships, who won two singles and one doubles championship (at least) and who twice qualified for the state tournament. Burke came in with great expec-tations and has surpassed them, no question, as far as the tennis goes. But Burke is so far and away a better kid than he is a tennis player. And please go back and read those accolades again. I’m not suggesting, I am telling you outright, Burke is a better young man than he is a tennis player and that is a huge statement.” It would be fair to say that Jack Williams did not come into tennis at Davie with a ton of fanfare. “When Jack was a fresh-man, we had to have a really tough conversation,” Nixon said. “He just wasn’t a good enough player to make that team. But we asked him to stick around, a be a player/manager that year. He gladly accepted and our program won as a result. “Jack has gotten so much better at tennis. While he has other extra-curricular inter-ests, like band and clubs, he has spent some time every offseason making sure he got better on the court.” By Williams’ junior sea-son last year, it had paid off. He was a consistent starter in the top six most of last season. This year, an injury, some sickness and some bad timing has kept Williams off the court more than on, and Williams’ record over the two years he has gotten to play some has not been what he or his coach would have wanted. But Nixon’s smile is so big when he talks about Williams that you might think you were talking about a CPC champ. “Some people will look at Jack and miss what I see,” Nixon said. “This is as smart and mature a young man as you’d want there to be at 18. Heck, I didn’t have things half as figured out when I was his age.”Williams is in the top 10 percent of his class and has been accepted to college at places like Ohio State, NC State and more. “Most schools have ad-mitted him directly into the honors college,” Nixon said. “We are talking about smart at a level most people don’t get to be around. Jack Wil-liams is just so intelligent it is scary.”And again, the thing that seems like Williams’ best quality fails to capture what his coach loves most. “And all that intelligence is not the best part,” he said. “We are talking about a kid who has applied and made it to the interview round at an Ivy League school. Yet, Jack is a better young man than even his grades can show.” When Bryce Bailey fin-ishes playing tennis at Davie in May, he won’t ever have been a CPC Player of the Year - heck, he will never even have been the best player on his own team. When he graduates in June, he won’t be going the Ivy League route as a next step. But when Nixon talks about Bryce, the glint in his eye just might be a tear. “Maybe I better just talk about tennis, that might keep my eyes dry,” he said. “I said it earlier this season, but it bears repeating. If there has been a kid who’s gotten better from his first day on a CPC tennis court to his last in the time I’ve coached in this conference than Bryce Bailey, I am unfamiliar with that young man’s work,” he said. “When Bryce came in, I wasn’t sure he’d ever move much above the five or six spot, if that, and now? Bailey will finish at Davie as an All-CPC player, probably twice. If things go as they almost surely will, he will have been a regional qualifi-er before he’s done and will have a real shot at being a CPC doubles champ. What he will be doing next year is playing tennis in college, at Belmont Abbey. Yes, from a guy who was the eighth man his freshman year to a guy getting scholarship money to play in college, that is how much better Bryce Bailey has gotten. He’s not had the same doubles part-ner two year in a row, ever. He’s played every seed from 2-6. He is usually playing guys who look the part a lot more than he does if you just watch the tennis. His back-hand is a little unorthodox, his toss on his serve isn’t high enough, he let’s himself get out of position.” Nixon chuckles and then adds: “Then you look at the score and realize he is winning. He turns matches into slugfests and he throws haymakers.” Nixon wants to make sure no one misunderstands: “Bryce is also a good stu-dent, his GPA will be near 4.0 when he graduates,” he said. “And again, we are talking now about a college athlete.” Yet, as with the other two of his senior class, Nixon wants to make sure every-one knows it is the other stuff that makes him proud-est of Bryce. “Sometimes as a coach, you just mesh with a kid,” he said. “Maybe he reminds you of yourself when you played, or maybe you see mannerisms or certain things a certain kid does that just resonate. Maybe I can describe my relation-ship with Bryce this way. Since my son played for me, I’ve said consistently that I would always know who my favorite player I’ve coached would be. Let’s just say Bryce challenged that. This is an exceptional young man.” Nixon speaks about this senior class in such glowing terms that you can almost feel his appreciation for these three young men. “One of our goals every year, as a team, is to be better off the court than on, and these three don’t just personify it, they live it,” he said. “They are great in the classroom, each in his own way, but all just wonderful students. In Bailey, Rosen-baum and Willams, you are talking about a great, an excellent and a good high school tennis player, respec-tively. But what matters most is that they are better out of the classroom than in and better off the court than on.” Bailey, Rosenbaum and Williams are very differ-ent, but in meeting their coach’s high standards as young men, there they are the same.

From 1993-94 through 2006-07, North Davie and South Davie - Ellis did not open until 2007 - competed in the Piedmont Conference Two Davie football players were chosen to play in the East-West All-Star Game in July. The annual event puts some of the top graduating seniors from the western half of the state against the eastern part of the state. It will be held July 19 at Grims-ley High in Greensboro. Thirty-six guys were named to the West team, in-cluding Davie’s Willie Purvis, a defensive back, and Brodie Smith, a receiver. The other players chosen from the Central Piedmont Conference were West Forsyth’s Jonathan LeGrant and Alejandro Morillon-Garcia; East Forsyth’s Nick Martin and Derrick Richardson; Glenn’s Joshua Nolan; and Reagan’s Jalill Rogers and Spencer Schaper. This will be the last East-West football game held in the summer as a second all-star game will take place in December. Effective for the 2023-24 school year, the North Carolina Coaches Association is moving the football all-star game to the weekend after the football state championships.

While a very small percentage of people are ac-tually born with foot problems, over 75% of the population will experience foot problems at some point in their life. To help you walk or run, the bones in your feet move through a series of movements, also known as a gait cycle. Pronation, a word commonly used when discussing feet and footwear, plays a key role in this cycle. Pronation describes a slight inward rolling mo-tion the foot makes during a normal walking or run-ning stride. Unfortunately, approximately 80% of the population has feet that roll inward more than normal. This excessive rolling motion is referred to as over-pronation. The resulting unstable position places ex-cessive stress on the foot and can lead to injury. Over-pronation, while very common, can lead to significant aches and pains which interfere with our everyday comfort. Bunions: Bunions are an enlargement of the bone at the base of the big toe, which often cause the big toe to tilt to the side. Plantar Fasciitis: The plantar fascia is a tough tis-sue in the foot that spans from the heel bone to the ball of the foot. The most common symptom is pain in the bottom of the heel when first arising in the morn- ing or after being seated for a period of time. Achilles Tendonitis: Pain is typically felt at the back of the ankle, with the first symptoms typically being a vague, dull ache. Iliotibial Band Syndrome: IT band syndrome is caused when the band becomes inflamed and ten-der, most commonly at its insertion below the knee. Shin Splints: Shin splint pain can be due to prob-lems with the muscles, bone, or the attachment of the muscle to the bone. Pain can be sharp and can be felt on the inside or outside of the shin. Don’t suffer any longer! Often, foot and lower leg pain can often be addressed simply by choosing properly fitting footwear. The degree of pronation that is demonstrated during an individual’s gait cycle de-termines the degree of stability that is required from a shoe.

Back then, they also competed against Mooresville, Kannapolis, Concord, J.N. Fries and Northwest Cabarrus. But after including Davie County’s middle schools for 14 years, the Rowan County schools pulled out and formed a new league, leaving Davie in the cold. The North, South and Ellis coaches and athletic directors were blindsided by that move and they had to regroup. They landed in a conference with Davidson County in 2007-08. It was a solid league, but that only lasted a few years. For the last 10-plus years, it’s not been fun for North, South and Ellis to find opponents. A new con-ference was formed a few years ago, the Central Car-olina Conference. Davie’s three schools hooked up six private schools - Summit, Wesleyan Christian Acad-emy, Canterbury, North Carolina Leadership Acad-emy, Phoenix Academy and Millennium Charter. If things come together like Davie County Schools Superintendent Jeff Wal-lace hopes, Davie County will join a conference with all public schools starting next fall. “The conference contract has been composed and we are awaiting the final draft,” Wallace said. “I plan to share the information with the board (on April 11), and then middle school princi-pals and ADs will work on communicating with stu-dents and families. Unless things have changed, there will be two divisions: The three Davie County middle schools, two Mooresville middle schools and West Rowan. The other division will be the other Rowan middle schools. Non-divi-sional contests will be with the other teams in the con-ference. There will be some sports that have to change seasons as it used to be.”Wallace said a final deci-sion should come soon.
