I drove northwest to Sparta to start the day. Sparta is the county seat of Al-leghany County and has a clean, small-town feel. Sparta is known most recently for an earthquake on Aug. 9, 2020. Registering 5.1 on the Richter scale, this was the larg-est in North Carolina in 104 years and second largest ever.Notable buildings along Main Street include the 1904 courthouse and a histor-ical theatre that still hosts weekly com-munity musical picking events known as the Alleghany Jubilee. Bigfoots in Boone and Lenoir New to me and interesting is the pro-motion of Historic US 21, Sparta’s Main Street, as an easier way to travel from the Great Lakes to Florida. The same distance as interstate highway travel, US 21 is more scenic and fun, they proclaim.Sparta is also on the Daniel Boone Highway and is gearing up to host a Fried Apple Pie Festival on May 6. Interesting too was the Sparta Presbyterian Church’s clothesline of free for the taking handmade toboggans for those in need of warmth. A mural honors country singer Del Reeves, Sparta’s most famous past resi-dent.

An overwhelming early morning response by the com-munity resulted in the shredding truck filling up around 10:30 before our scheduled closing time of noon, and we weren't able to serve the customers who arrived thereafter. Whereas we were extremely pleased to have held such a successful event to benefit the charitable organizations we support, we sincerely regret that many potential cus-tomers were disappointed that we couldn’t accommodate them at this event. We appreciate the loyalty of our cus-tomers and hope they will return for our next shredding event on Saturday, Oct. 14 from 9 a.m.-noon or whenever the truck fills up. Thank you to all of those who came out to support us on April 15; and again, our sincere apologies to those whom we were unable to serve. Please check with local papers and media sources for updated information about our Oct. 14 shredding event.Sue WhittakerPublicity Chair, Bermuda Run Garden Club In the mail ... ‘Shredding’ truck fills up early When is it going to be enough? To the editor:We are seeing massacres in plain sight: trees, under-growth, entire landscapes and the fauna habitats once thriving. The “criminals” masquerade as developers, zon-ing officials, tax collectors, etc.Progress is their cry as they ransack. That translates to money in their pockets and tax coffers, as well as promises of “benefits to residents.” You don’t have to look far for these “crimes.”Rarely are citizen protests heard or heeded. That did oc-cur in Bermuda Run recently. Residents of Kinderton Vil-lage stood up against a massive density project proposed in our back door. Zoning needed to be changed, however.Some very intelligent residents researched and created documents citing increased traffic, harm to the environ-ment, lowered existing housing prices as well as unaccept-able density percentages. Residents showed up at meetings and signed petitions. Speeches were made a council meet-ings and planning boards. Signs, flyers, t-shirts showed up and the final vote to allow a zoning exception was “No.”A success?Very soon after this, we saw the “crime” of huge trees, undergrowth and habitats mowed down. Not only was this horrible looking, it took down the last sound screeen from the widening of I-40, bringing unacceptable levels of dust to homes and an eyesore to everyone traveling Exit 180 - Bermuda Run.Recently, we learned that an apartment or townhome complex will be built on this same piece of land behind Lowe’s Foods on NC 801. We are hearing pushes for more restaurants (besides Chik-fil-A), hotels in front of Lowe’s.Roundabouts? Traffic adjustments? Farmington Road residents lost their bid against rezoning to place a housing project in their area. Progress?Far-sighted farmers are rejecting the millions offered to protect family farms and their preferred way of life. This trend is being supported by young adults in many areas of our country. They long for samll farms, growing their own food, raising their own meat as well as the peace and quiet of rural life. They want to raise families to value the same.When is enough, enough?Now.Patricia WilliamsBermuda Run An Irish Tale, The FinaleBy Julie Terry CartnerFaster than she could have imagined, Maureen made it to the shore. Too emotional to be stealthy, she burst onto the beach and ran towards the two girls who were chatting as if they were best friends.When she got close enough to see details, it was clear to Maureen that the girl in the water was her daughter, the one she’d named Meghan. Her breath whooshed out of her lungs as if she’d been hit by a truck. The girl’s features were so similar to Maureen’s, nobody could deny their re-lationship. Without even slowing down, she ran into the water reaching for the daughter she’d lost so many years ago. Tears ran down her face as she embraced this child, her child, and yet a stranger.But even as she embraced this Mer-child, her eyes sought out Meggie, standing on the shoreline looking lost and uncertain. Meggie, the child of her heart if not of her body. And immediately, she knew; she could love both these girls, each for who she was. Maureen didn’t have to make a choice. She didn’t have to pick one; pure love didn’t demand such a sacrifice. She had loved both daugh-ters for the past ten years, and she could and would contin-ue to do so. Reaching out for Meggie, she pulled her into the embrace. Laughing, crying, questioning, and answering, the meeting was more than anyone could have hoped. Mau-reen learned her daughter’s name was Meara. “Sea, or, of the sea, a perfect name for you,” smiled Maureen, maybe a bit wistfully, but with honesty. “But what of your mother?” she asked Meara. “Where is she?”And so, Meara continued her tale. “When Mum real-ized we babies had been switched, she knew immediately that her father, Tadg, was the one to blame. Fear of los-ing his ancestral land as his vision had shown him, he had sworn no child of Muireann would survive. Mum vowed to keep you safe,” she said, looking at Meghan, “by letting you go. She searched until she found you, then watched over you from a distance, ensuring Tadg would not realize you had lived. She told me the truth as soon as I was old enough to understand and promised one day we’d be re-united. Tadg died last night. Mum needed be sure he was gone, but she’ll be here soon.”Just as promised, Muireann soon arrived. Before long the joyous reunion of mothers and daughters, and sisters in spirit lit up their corner of the world with a glow rivaling the evening’s sunset. They talked far into the night, each telling her part of the tale while trying to figure out the next steps. With Tadg gone, Muireann’s true child could return to her rightful place beside Muireann.But exchanging daughters was not as uncomplicated as borrowing and returning a cup of sugar or a pair of shoes. When love is involved, the emotional complexities far out-weigh the simple. Muireann, like Maureen, had kept her vow to love her new daughter as well as she loved her birth child. And the girls, Meghan and Meara had forged an im-mediate bond. Though Muireann could leave the water for periods of time, the sea was her home, and Maureen, as much as she loved the beach, could not live in the water. And so, plans and compromises were made, an agreement reached. Meghan and Meara would spend half the year with Maureen and the other half with Muireann. And the two women, forever linked through their daughters, would grow to love the other in their unique sisterhood. While the girls were with Maureen, they would learn the ways of the Irish, and, with Muireann, they’d study the depths of the sea. They’d strive to blend their two worlds and find pure goodness in both. Through their example, they hoped to show others how to love those who don’t fit into a designated mold. The four women, united in sis-terhood, would work together to make their world a better place.•••People say if you look out from the rocky cliffs of Mo-her when the rich red sun sinks below the horizon and casts fiery rays across the cerulean sea, you might see the figure of a woman staring out into the ocean’s depths, The woman may be Maureen or Muireann, it matters not, for what you will see more clearly than red or chestnut locks is the love, the unbreakable bond between mothers and daughters, between sisters of the heart, more powerful than greed, jealousy, or the fickle hand of fate.

The Abbey will be closed from April 25 until March 8. Meeting one of the dozen or so neighborhood “moms” we all had while growing up brought back some memo-ries. She was at an event last Saturday with her daughter, whom I had grown up with, and her son, who was a mem-ber of our ferocious bicycle gang (More on that later.)She thanked me for something I had written many years ago, about Uncle Roy and Aunt Annie. Growing up, every mother within miles not only had the right to discipline someone else’s child -it was expected. Uncle Roy and Aunt Annie were uncle and aunt to every child - and most adults. But they didn’t discipline - they encouraged.Uncle Roy was the rock. Plain and simple. He was Aunt Annie’s rock. He was my dad’s rock. He was the rock for Oak Grove United Methodist Church. He was everyone’s rock; always willing to help and be a friend.Aunt Annie was a snuff dipper. And she usually had a chihuahua who pretty much only liked Aunt Annie. When she talked, a cloud of snuff smoke would come from her mouth. But like Uncle Roy, she loved us.And she believed in planting by the signs - astrologi-cal signs. There’s no witchery here, just ancient practices learned by man over the years. As a scientist put it: “The moon’s gravitational pull increases the moisture in the soil at the time of the new moon to the full moon, so it encour-ages germination and growth.” I doubt if Aunt Annie knew any of that, she just knew it worked. “The tides are highest at the time of the new and the full moon (waxing), and just as the moon pulls the tides in the oceans, it also pulls upon the water in the earth. The increasing moonlight creates balanced root and leaf growth.”Wow. Aunt Annie was a scientist and never knew it. There’s no need to push for more women to become scien-tists, they’ve been among the best for generations. We just need to recognize it.There’s conflicting reports on whether the practice of planting by the phases of the moon and astrological signs works. A lifelong gardener, I’ve never done it, and have had mixed results with harvests. It makes me wonder if those good years just happened to be planted under the right moon phase.Just check your almanac, it’ll let you know when those phases are. That’s another thing of the past that was once essential. Although still somewhat of a technological di-nosaur, I guess it is easier to just tap a couple of letters on your phone to get an answer rather than look for that alma-nac ... and wonder how long it had been in the bathroom.• • •Our bicycle gang was real.We were a tough bunch. We could stop at a country store on a hot summer day and get a chocolate Brownie drink to wash down a large straw filled with sour, powdery candy. Now that’s tough.There were six or seven of us who were gang members from time to time. We lived in maybe a two mile radius, so it wasn’t a next-door neighbor type of thing. We were too young to drive cars, and not old enough to be embarrased by riding a bicycle. But we had that ramblin’ fever.It was on these tours we learned not to throw rocks at a hornet’s nest, and what happens when you toss your bi-cycle off a bridge onto I-40, which was being built and wasn’t open to vehicular traffic yet. After the workers went home, it was ours. Some days, we would be gone for hours, stopping at country stores and counting change to buy a snack; or get-ting our story together before going in to buy cigarettes, which we always said was for our dad and always re-ceived. The store owner probably knew what was going on, especially after we had to ask for matches.Of course, we got caught. Remember those moms? I’m not sure which one, but somewhere on the backroads of Davie County, one of those moms noticed and let our parents know. Our punishment? One mother bought big cigars and made us smoke them in front of her, thinking it would make us sick. They did, but we didn’t let her know, just pretended to enjoy them. We ran to gag after she got out of sight. We thought we had gotten away with it, but looking back, that mom knew her test had been successful.The world needs more moms.- Mike Barnhardt DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, April 20, 2023 - 3 www.ourdavie.com Presidential Mothers Continued From Page 2 What’s That Smell?By David R MooreIf you live in a rural or suburban area, you may have been affronted with an unfavorable odor, especially in February and March, and ask, “What is that awful smell?” The smell is probably from a skunk. Skunk spray odor is due to thiol (sulfur-containing) compounds that the human nose can detect at concentrations as low as 11 parts per bil-lion. Skunks use their spray only as a defensive weapon. Skunks come out of their dens in February and March and roam more than usual in search of a mate. Most pred-ators, except dogs and Great Horned Owls, avoid skunks out of fear of being sprayed. Automobiles sometimes kill skunks, and their odor may linger at the site for days, re-minding all others who drive by of the incident. If a dog is sprayed, the Humane Society recommends treating it with a mixture of 3% hydrogen peroxide, baking soda, and dishwashing soap. Also, the dog may not be welcomed back into the house for a long time.Skunks are the size of a cat or small dog. Although its appearance varies, the traditional image of a skunk is black with a white stripe on its back. They shelter during the day and feed at night. Being omnivorous, their diet changes with the seasons, but they typically feed on in-sects, worms, larvae, frogs, berries, roots, nuts, and grass-es. As with most animals, they won’t bother you if you don’t bother them. If you get too close, they may raise their tail as a warning. If you ignore the sign, you will not be welcomed back into the house. DrivingBy: E. BishopRecently, an anchorman presented news regarding young people resisting the need to obtain their driver’s li-cense. From what I’ve read, this is nothing new, but the trend continues with the Gen Z shunning the need for a car or license and citing many reasons for doing so. They say, “I’ll just call an Uber or 911.” There is no single reason for not wanting to drive or worry about a license; understandably, several make good economic sense. These include costs of cars and the main-tenance involved, gas, insurance, and the continued urban-ization of cities and suburbs with access to public mass transit. With cities developing transit hubs and bike lanes, there is a shift away from private cars, fewer emissions, fewer roadway deaths and less need for more roads. This should be welcomed. But, I doubt the Gen Z will fully embrace car-free living for the long-term.Let’s don’t force them to learn to drive but do remind them it’s good to have options; they may need to be a designated driver or be able to drive if a friend or family member isn’t capable of driving for some reason. That Uber or 911 may not be immediately available. In large cities, the need for a driver’s license may not be that necessary and Gen Z may not consider it a crucial life milestone, but out in rural America, it was and still is a ticket to freedom and a sign of independence, especially for this old Baby Boomer. It’s good to have older siblings to get hand me downs from, be it clothes or cars. My oldest sister was gracious enough to buy an old 1961 Plymouth Valiant for us young-er girls. It was white, blue interior, straight shift 3-speed in the floor and yes, it had that unforgettable “continental kit” spare tire look on the trunk. Ugly, but grand in our eyes at the time with some equally unforgettable stories to go with it.One quickly comes to mind every time I think of that car. My sister was flying down the road toward home with me as a passenger flailing my arms, screaming for the kids to get out of the way; the brakes had failed. Initially, nei-ther one of us knew what to do because we were so scared. Somehow, sis got that car stopped right in front of the house without killing anybody.After getting the “hump on the trunk” car handed down to me (with brakes fixed), my journey of freedom began. But, not before I could master changing those gears. My daddy had taken me to get my license, which I did pass on the first try, thank you. However, coming back home, turning up our road with that big hill looming, I kept stall-ing out; couldn’t quite get the clutch, foot, gas and gear in sync. Mind you, I was the youngest child and by that time, daddy probably already had enough trying times teaching us all to drive. I remember feeling like he might have a heart attack at any moment. We did make it up that hill though. For all the younger folks out there that don’t want the responsibility of a car, that makes sense. But, at least get a license and learn to drive. You don’t know what kind of fun you’re missing, especially it it’s a stick shift. Renegade ... By Betty Etchison WestFor the Enterprise When one thinks of Sara Delano Roosevelt, one word comes to mind: con-trol. Sara tried to control ev-erything and everybody in her world.Sara was born in 1884 at her home, Fairhaven, which was one of the Hud-son River Estates. Her par-ents were aristocrats, War-ren Delano II and Catherine Robbins Lyman Delano. Sara was the seventh of the Delanos’ 10 children. She was considered by many to be the most beautiful of the sisters. Sara had every advan-tage that a young girl could have. She was mainly edu-cated at home and her ed-ucation was enhanced by trips to Europe and other places. Her family lived in China for a few years be-cause her father was a suc-cessful trader in Chinese goods.It helps to understand just how wealthy the Del-ano family was when you learn that the family trav-eled to China on a ship, not just a boat but a ship, on which members of the Del-ano family were the only passengers. Sara had fun on that voyage learning the chanties sung by the crew. Sara loved her father, War-ren Delano, dearly and al-ways did just what he want-ed her to do.When Sara was 26, she was invited to a party at the home of another aristocrat-ic Hudson River family. There she met James Roo-sevelt, a gentleman about twice her age. The fact that James Roosevelt was an aristocrat much like Sara’s father may have been just what Sara was seeking—a father figure. Sara seemed immediately attached to James. James was equal-ly interested in Sara even though he had a son from a previous marriage who was about Sara’s age. Things progressed and Mr. Roosevelt asked his old friend, Warren Delano, for his daughter’s hand in mar-riage. Mr. Delano agreed and the happy couple was married at the Delano home, just down river from the Roosevelt estate. From all reports the Delano/Roo-sevelt marriage was happy. The difference in Sara and James’ ages never seemed to be a problem. About a year after Sara and James were married, a baby was born at Spring-wood, the Roosevelt es-tate at Hyde Park on the Hudson River. The baby was named Franklin Del-ano Roosevelt, which was Sara’s way of holding on to her family name. From the day he was born, every aspect of Franklin’s life was con-trolled by his mother until the genes that he had inher-ited from his mother began to kick in. He then would push back at times. Franklin was tutored at home with a schedule made by his mother that includ-ed every minute of every day. Franklin was enrolled at Groton, a prestigious boarding school, when he was about two years old-er than most students. It was difficult at first, but Franklin found his footing probably more quickly than his mother. Franklin got sick and had to be quaran-tined in the infirmary at the school. Sara was in Europe, when she learned that her Franklin was sick. She rushed home. Franklin heard a scratching noise on the brick outside of his room. Then a finger pecked on the window. Franklin looked up and there was his mother standing on a lad-der which she had snatched from a caretaker. She ap-peared there every day as long as Franklin was sick. She even stood on the lad-der and read to her son. When Franklin gradu-ated from Groton and en-rolled in Harvard, his moth-er rented an apartment in Boston so she could be near her son. Franklin’s father died in 1900 when Franklin was 18. Franklin loved his father, who taught him to ride horses, shoot, ski, etc., and he missed him terri-bly. Mr. Roosevelt’s death left his wife in full control of her son and the family finances - control that she used by threatening to with-hold money to get her way. She did not distribute her money in a lump sums but in many large gifts through the years.In 1903, three years af-ter the death of his father, Franklin and his mother were celebrating Thanks-giving at Sara’s families’ home when Franklin took his mother aside to tell her some news. He told her that he was in love with Elea-nor Roosevelt, and he had asked Eleanor to marry him. Shock is not a strong enough word to describe how Sara felt. She thought she knew everything about Franklin’s life, and she did not even know that there had been a courtship going on between Eleanor and Franklin. Eleanor was a part of the Oscar Bay branch of the Roosevelt family and was really Franklin’s fifth cousin. The book, “First Moth-ers” by Bonnie Angelo, says: “Sara could not reveal the severity of the shock, even to her own diary, en- tering for that day only the terse line. ‘Franklin gave me quite a startling an-nouncement’.”Franklin thought telling his mother about his plans suddenly was the best way to handle what he knew would be an unpleasant task. Franklin and Eleanor were married. Sara built the newlyweds a big double house on fashionable East Sixty-fifth Street in New York. Of course, Sara occupied one side of the house. She had doors cut so she could go directly into Franklin and Eleanor’s living room and maybe their bedroom. A lovely arrangement for Sara, but certainly not for the new bride, Eleanor, who was already short on confidence. Franklin and Eleanor had six children, one of whom died as an infant. Sara did not think that El-eanor was capable of being a good mother so she spent the next years of her life controlling the lives of her grandchildren. The more Sara controlled her family; the less confident Eleanor felt. In 1918, Eleanor and her mother-in-law were on the same page. Eleanor discov-ered that her husband was in love with another woman, Lucy Mercer. When Elea-nor found out what was go-ing on, she offered Franklin a divorce. Franklin’s moth-er stepped in because she thought a divorce would be harmful to Franklin’s political career. Sara told her son if he did not prom-ise never to see the woman again, she would cut off all funds from him. He prom-ised, which averted a crisis, but it was a promise which Franklin did not keep. El-eanor and Franklin agreed to stay married, but, from that time on, they would be partners, not really husband and wife. Sara gave her son’s family a wonderful vaca-tion house at Campobello in Canada. Of course, she obtained a house for her-self nearby. It was while the family was vacationing at Campobello that Frank-lin developed polio. After he got sick, Sara wanted Franklin to give up his po-litical ambition, go home to Hyde Park, and live the life of landed gentry. That, of course, did not fly. Eleanor helped Franklin during his recovery which of course was never com-plete. He was crippled the rest of his life. Sara really did not want Franklin to be involved in the politi-cal world, but, when she realized that he was going to devote his whole life to politics, she supported him whole heartedly. Franklin Roosevelt ad-vanced up the political ladder until he was elect-ed President of the United States. After Franklin be-came President, his mother spent some time living in the White House, but she was never successful at be-ing in charge there. Sara Roosevelt got her way many times by con-trolling the purse strings, but the whole truth is that she did what she did be-cause she loved her son more than life. Franklin also loved his mother and was distraught when he received the message that she had been stricken. He rushed from Washington to Hyde Park to be by her side. Sara lived several days after her son’s arrival. She died on Sept. 7, 1941. Her funeral was held in the Springwood Library, place where she had en-joyed many happy hours. She was buried in St. James Church Cemetery at Hyde Park beside her husband, James. Her son, Franklin, and his wife, Eleanor, were bur-ied side by side in the gar-den at the Roosevelt Estate, Springwood, at Hyde Park, New York. It was Lucy Mercer Rutherfurd who was with Franklin Roosevelt when he died at his cottage in Warm Springs, Ga. in 1945. Lucy is who Frank-lin promised to never see again. When Lucy was told that Eleanor was on the way to Warm Springs, she made a rapid exit. By Julie WhittakerMental health advocate May is Mental Health Awareness month, and we would like to take this time to educate the community, introduce the Partners Behavioral Health Management’s Davie Community Collaborative, and extend an invitation for active discussions on challenges and solutions for mental health needs in Davie County.Partners BHM is the Local Management Entity/Man-aged Care Organization (LME/MCO) serving Davie. The mission of the collaborative is evaluate gaps in services and to improve outcomes toward a common goal to em-power families, children, and individuals to promote opti-mal mental health and overall wellbeing.Typically, people seek a physician or specialist for physical needs. If we have a cardiac issue, it’s common to see a cardiologist. Our mental health impacts our entire body, so it’s im-portant to acknowledge mental health needs as quickly as physical ailments. The community collaborative members want to make sure people have knowledge of and can uti-lize resources available to appropriately treat any mental health issues or concerns.Mental Health is often associated with stigmas and negative connotations; we would like to change that. What better way to start than at the local level.

Continued From Page 1I drove on scenic byways toward Jefferson, county seat of Ashe County, while listening to AM radio gos-pel hymns and farm reports. NC Highways 18 and 88 took me past Christmas tree farms, one after another.Jefferson is the smaller and less active sibling of next-door West Jefferson, a tourist destination in itself. Jefferson has the stately 1904 courthouse, now a museum. Designated as the county seat in 1799, it was named for then vice presi-dent and future president Thomas Jefferson. The New River, one of the oldest rivers in the world, flows through the town.•Next stop was Boone, county seat of Watauga County and a town I’ve vis-ited often earlier in life but not recently. Home of Ap-palachian State University, Boone has a thriving down-town of trendy businesses along busy King Street. I looked forward to grabbing something for a quick lunch there and settled for two fantastic bagels at Boone Bagelry. Boone is named for Dan-iel Boone who camped several times in the current location of the downtown area. His nephews were members of the still exist-ing Three Forks Baptist Church.Two Boone-related area attractions draw tourists regularly. The outdoor dra-ma Horn in the West depicts Daniel Boone’s contribu-tion to those seeking free-dom from British tyranny in the area and has been done every year since 1952. Boone had a hunting camp and a cabin in the area from about 1767-1773. Tweetie’s East Tennessee and Western North Carolina Railroad had tracks through the present site of ASU. A severe flood in 1940 dam-aged the tracks and it was decided to not replace them. The rain damage came from a stalled hurricane and left King Street in Boone is a busy place, catering to tourists and students at Appalachian State. - Photos by David Freeze In Sparta, the Presbyterian church offers free tobaggans to those who need them; and a mural hon- ors famous resident, country singer Del Reeves. Boone isolated for days from the outside world as bridges were washed away and telephone service inter-rupted. At least 16 people died.Most of the people I saw on the streets were students, although Boone is the cen-ter of the 7-county High Country tourist area. An-other exciting surprise was the name of the local wood bat summer college league baseball team, the Boone Bigfoots. Another was the FARM Café, which stands for “Feed All Regardless of their Means.” It is a small café only open for a few hours a day during lunch where customers pay what they can or volunteer.•As I left town, a thunder-storm dumped a downpour on the area but I drove out of it just of north of Lenoir, the next stop and county seat of Caldwell County. Established in 1841, Lenoir, first called Tucker’s Barn, was named for William Lenoir, a Revolutionary War general and statesman.Famous for quality furni-ture, Lenoir is recognized as the “The Furniture Capital of the World.” Lenoir hosts the Bootleg-ger 100, a super challenging gravel cycling race in two weeks and the Blackberry Festival on July 15. Lenoir also has a down-town walking trail along which I found Paul Reid. I asked him how he was, and his response was, “If any better, I couldn’t stand it.” I told him about my 100-county challenge and asked him to check the newspaper. Full of interest-ing shops, Lenoir would be a fun place to spend a day. One shop worth visiting is “Dead People’s Stuff An-tiques and Emporium.”An oddity, the summer college wood bat league also has a team here called the Lenoir Legends. Bigfoot is also their team mascot.•My final stop for the day was my favorite. Newton is the county seat of Catawba In Lenoir, interesting sites included a store that sells “Dead People’s Stuff,” and jeans hanging out- side the courthouse representing sexual assault victims. Sites in Jefferson include the 1904 courthouse that now houses a museum; and a lawyer’s office used for more than 100 years. County. By the end of the day, I didn’t want to dodge traffic, yet wanted to see an interesting town. Newton filled the bill. The historic downtown is centered around the 1924 courthouse and is undergo-ing a renovation that in-cludes widened sidewalks, bike and walking lanes and enhancement of an adjacent park. “Six blocks in three phases makes for a bright future,” per the renovation slogan.I found multiple restau-rants and interesting things in the downtown area. Most storefronts were open and active. There is a huge flour mill, specializing in bak-ery flour, still in operation. A large modern recreation center complete with splash pad and gym is downtown, and the old post office has been made into the Post Of-fice Playhouse with a busy schedule. A Bountiful Downtown Bunny Trail was going on for nine days with prizes. Murals and a still oper-ating movie theatre called “The State,” still showing new movies, enhanced the area. A train depot with a ca-boose and rail car museum were just a short distance from the courthouse square area. Park and walk with lots to do in downtown Newton. There’s a nice bak- ery too.A nice day with the best weather I’ve had so far. I had 227 driving miles and 7.91 miles on foot, all for another fun adventure.Back soon. Check out the “greetings from” mural (below) while visiting downtown Newton (above). DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, April 20, 2023 - 5 By Jeanna Baxter WhiteWord Master Media Group Imagine you are the sin-gle mother of a 16-year-old son. You live on a minimal income with little familial support. Your landlord decides to sell the home you’ve been renting for the past few years, and you only have 30 days to find a new home. Fair market rent prices have increased significantly over the past three years and you cannot find an afford-able place to live. Your 30 days are up, and you have nowhere to go. You work up the courage to go to a shelter only to find out that you will not be able to stay together due to your son's age. Your already stressful crisis just got that much scarier. Fortunately, this mother’s next call was to Family Promise of Davie County (FPDC), which keeps fami-lies together while in shelter regardless of the child’s age. Rural and family home-lessness is often an invisible crisis and is hidden from public view, said Lisa Reyn-olds, FPDC executive direc-tor. Families experiencing homelessness typically stay with family and friends, in motels, or in a shelter as opposed to sleeping on the street. Homelessness may not be a visible issue in this com-munity, but 111 students in Davie County Schools have been identified so far this year as experiencing home-lessness.FPDC works to address the issue of family home-lessness holistically. “We provide prevention services before families reach crisis, shelter and transitional housing if they become homeless, stabili-zation programs once they have secured housing to ensure they remain indepen-dent, and case management throughout all stages,” she said. Since opening in 2017, FPDC has served more than 1,300 parents and children through its shelter, transi-tional housing, and emer-gency financial assistance programs. There is space to shelter two families at the Family Center on Lib-erty Circle and two single-family homes that serve as transitional housing. “Meeting families where they are and walking along-side them during their crisis is the core of what we do,” Reynolds said. “We believe every family has promise and that every child de-serves a home.” It’s proven to be a highly successful approach., she said:• homelessness is pre-vented for 98% of families served in the program;• on average, 94% of the people served in the shel-ter program secure hous-ing within 17 weeks. 90% of those families are still housed one year later; and • on average, 90% of the families served in the tran-sitional housing program secure housing within 16 weeks. 90% of those fami-lies are still housed one year later. Housing shortagesand low wagesIt is estimated that 1 in 23 North Carolina children will experience homelessness before the age of 6. By Nikki O’BrienDavie Community Foundation When Erin Deadmon wrote her essay for the Crosby and Rotary of Mocksville scholarships in 2011, she laid out detailed plans of becoming a doctor. She earned a bachelor’s in biology from Boston University while studying biology and pre-medicine. She then worked in clinical healthcare for Massachu-setts General Hospital and in client services at a health-care technology company. Erin pursued her master’s of business administration degree from Boston Col-lege, and accepted her cur-rent role in corporate finance at Fidelity Investments. She resides in Boston. Erin elaborated more on her change of heart regard-ing her journey. “While I was attending BU, I sur-vived challenging biol-ogy and chemistry classes, Imagine ... you’re a parent with nowhere to live Family Promise of Davie trying to reach more families in crisis Families make up about 30% of the national home-less population.There is no state, even those where the minimum wage has been set above the federal minimum wage of $7.25, where a minimum-wage worker working 40 hours per week can afford a modest two-bedroom rental unit at the average fair mar-ket price. In Davie County, a min-imum-wage worker would need to work nearly 86 hours per week to afford the average rent of $808 for a two-bedroom apart-ment. A single person in Davie County would need to earn at least $18.63/hour ($38,760/year), and more if they have children.Housing is the greatest expense for most families and should not exceed 30% of a family’s budget, Reyn-olds said. “Unfortunately, 2023 sta-tistics from the N.C. Hous-ing Coalition indicate that 22% of Davie households are cost-burdened by hous-ing, with 49% of renters and 18% percent of homeown-ers struggling to afford their homes. Of those cost-bur-dened renters, 15.64% faced an eviction. “Safe, stable housing can change the trajectory of a child’s life. Far too often, a child’s life is uprooted due to eviction and housing in-stability,” said Reynolds. The Power of an HourOn Thursday, April 20, FPDC will host Family Promise Giving Day, a 24-hour online campaign to raise awareness and funds to support local families expe-riencing homelessness and housing insecurity. “This year, we’re asking you to ‘Give an Hour’ to Family Promise, whether that be a donation of an hour of your salary or an hour of your attention to learn more about Family Promise and the 2.5 million children who experience homelessness every year in America,” said Reynolds. Donations can be made online at the website or via check made to Family Promise of Davie County and mailed to PO Box 1536 Mocksville, NC 27028.To learn more about Fam-ily Promise of Davie and its programs, visit www.family-promisedc.org or call (336) 284-4200. pulling the occasional all-nighter studying for exams. This was all in pursuit of the ultimate goal I initially set while attending Davie High. After I graduated from BU, a few things happened in my personal life that chal-lenged me in ways I never could have anticipated. “Suddenly, medicine was no longer my passion. I took some time, went back to school, and found other ca-reer interests. I never could have anticipated how happy I would be taking a com-pletely different path than the one I had planned for and worked towards. I learned a lot about my-self during this process, but the biggest thing I learned is sometimes plans can change and there’s no shame in fol-lowing where the new ones take you.”Her advice to rising se-niors or incoming fresh-man: “There are many ca-reer paths available to you. Make sure you explore any and everything you find re-motely interesting. Keep an open mind. Utilize friends, classmates, teachers, pro-fessors, neighbors, etc. to help you determine what may be interesting. Keep in mind that you can always pivot to something different in the future. Be your whole and true self.” •Kara Deadmon has been busy pursuing her dreams and passions since graduat-ing in 2005. Kara was the recipient of the Davie Coun-ty Crosby Scholarship from the foundation and attended Wake Forest University. She transferred to Pfeiffer University and earned a de-gree in history. She pursued her master’s degree in pub-lic history at University of North Carolina Wilmington. Kara’s graduate work fo-cused on the interpretation of race and gender in his-toric spaces. She joined the N.C. State Historic Sites as the assistant site manager at the Charlotte Hawkins Brown Museum just after graduation. She is the muse-um curator of the N.C. State Capitol. The Capitol serves as the office of North Caro-lina’s governor and is the historic home of the state’s General Assembly. Kara’s role focuses on a more inclusive historic nar-rative by interpreting sto-ries of enslaved people who constructed the Capitol and emphasizing marginalized voices through exhibits.In 2013, she won the Margaret T. Burroughs and Charles H. Wright Fellow-ship at the Association of African American Museums conference. In 2019, she at-tended the Smithsonian Institution: Interpreting Af-rican American History & Culture Workshop, and she is a Certified Interpretive Guide with the National As-sociation of Interpretation. Given all of Kara’s unique experiences since her early high school days, I asked what would be her best advice to give to our community youth. “Study and live abroad. Take advantage of study abroad programs that your university or college of-fers if you’re able. I studied abroad in the United King-dom when I was a college senior, and the relationships I made during that time are still some of my most ful-filling. Living on my own abroad also taught me re- silience and self-reliance. The world is big, but it’s not scary. “As much as possible after I left Davie County, I have tried to travel, learn from unique experiences, and interact with varied per-spectives. I think this makes me well-suited to interpret different stories at the Capi-tol and other historic sites.” Kara resides in Durham with her husband Matt, and their daughter Florence.Suggest a past scholar to be featured by calling 336-753-6903.

By: Lynn Trivette, Town Clerk pact on the control of local municipalities.“From my perspective, I’d like to make copies of those just for informational purposes and have a brief synopsis of what those bills mean,” Meadwell said. “I think it’s vitally important that you’re aware of what’s going on down in Raleigh in regards to some of these Senate bills and House bills. The mayor and I will con-tinued to stay on top of this by speaking with our local legislators. Cross then added this: “With the House and Sen-ate, a number of bills are working through the system that would pull some of the ordinance structure that we have for zoning ordinances and design ordinances from the municipalities back up to the state, and quite frank-ly we find that to be unac-ceptable. We have worked hard over the last 24 years to make sure that what’s im-portant to us as a communi-ty is codified, it’s in keeping with what our residents and our businesses have said that they wanted and what our councils have stepped up to as government.“We’ve got our eye on it and watching it closely. We will take whatever action is necessary to make sure we are speaking on behalf of the Town of Bermuda Run. If we believe there is some-thing that is getting traction, we will want to make sure that this council acts appro-priately.”And Meadwell added, “and to be prepared to act appropriately.”• Meadwell also provid-ed an update on the Blue Heron Trail in the manag-er’s report, saying he would find out more on the official opening after a construction review meeting this week.“We’re getting very close as most of you have seen,” he said. “We have finished some of the paving, some of the repair work, corrected some drainage, strawed and seeded and then came back out and seeded and strawed again. The eagerness to get out on the trail is there.”In other Bermuda Run news, the council:• Heard from Cross about attending the recent Lewis-ville-Clemmons Economic Forum with Meadwell. The panel including Terry Bral-ley, president of the Davie County Economic Commis-sion. “We happened to be sit-ting there, but most every- thing that was discussed from an economic develop-ment standpoint when they were talking about Lewis-ville and Clemmons also included Bermuda Run,” Cross said. “And you really can’t talk about one with-out talking about the others. The river that divides Clem-mons and Bermuda Run is only important to a few people. Whether it’s Davie County or Forsyth County, it’s all the same. I say that to say that Bermuda Run is incredibly important to the vitality of the economy of this region, not just Bermu-da Run but to Davie County and western Forsyth.”• Approved the 2022-23 General Fund budget be amended to accept $800 from the Davie County Community Foundation as revenue and expend $800 for expenses related to the 2022 Christmas in the Town of Bermuda Run.• Approved a proposed audit contract with Eddie Carrick, CPA, for the year ending June 30, 2023, with the audit fee of $7,500 and fee for major program at $2,000, and a proposed contract for Tourism De-velopment Authority audit services for a fee of $1,500.

A Mocksville store was among those cited by the N.C. Department of Ag-riculture and Consumer Services’ Standards Divi-sion because of excessive price-scanner errors. Dollar General at 1334 Yadkinville Road, paid $6,290 in penalties. An ini-tial inspection in November 2022 found an error rate of 20 percent based on 10 overcharges in a 50-item lot. A follow-up inspection in January found an error rate of 13 percent based on 39 overcharges in a 300-item lot. A follow-up inspection in March found ourdavie.com an error rate of 7.33 percent based on 22 overcharges in a 300-item lot. The store will be rein-spected. “Our Standards Division closely watches stores to ensure that consumers are protected,” said Agricul-ture Commissioner Steve Troxler. “This is an import-ant function to make sure North Carolinians are being charged the prices they see on shelves. While our work will continue, it is important for consumers to check their receipts regularly and notify store managers if they see a discrepancy.” The department conducts periodic, unannounced in-spections of price-scanner systems in businesses to check for accuracy between the prices advertised and the prices that ring up at the register. If a store has more than a 2-percent error rate on overcharges, inspectors discuss the findings with the store manager and conduct a more intensive follow-up inspection later. Undercharges are also reported, but do not count against a store. Consumers who would like to file a complaint about scanner errors they encoun- ter, can call the Standards Division at 984-236-4750. Penalties are assessed if a store fails a follow-up in-spection. In addition to the pen-alties paid, the store will be subject to re-inspection every 60 days from the last inspection until it meets the 2-percent-or-less error rate. Additional penalties may be assessed if a store fails a re-inspection.In the latest round of inspections, the depart-ment has collected fines from 37 stores in 22 coun-ties because of excessive price-scanner errors.

DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, April 20, 2023 - 9 By Mike BarnhardtEnterprise Record If the Davie County Sher-iff’s Office happens to gain possession of a firearm, they now can learn if it had been used in a crime.Two of the county’s crime scene investigators have been certified in the use of Nibin (National Integrated Ballistics Information Net-work). It allows them to test firearms.Capt. D.J. Smith said that every firearm puts a spe-cific pattern onto casings as the gun is fired, and this they may face on the street, complete with build-ings, vehicles and people. The voice they hear comes from the trainer, who can change what he says based on the officer’s reaction.Most of the training has to do with de-escalating a situation, said Chief Depu-ty Brian Jacobs.Officers trained on the Apex system can take those being trained to dif-ferent scenarios they may face on the street.“All officers and some staff can use this for cri-sis intervention training,” Jacobs said. “They can go through this after classroom training on how to success-fully talk someone down from a crisis situation.”Officers can be taught how to recognize a men-tally ill person from one with criminal intentions, and worked through their reactions.The program is also used for firearms training.

Gary Zickmund. Available scenarios include traffic stops, a school, hospital, grocery store, in homes, apartments or clubs. “We can take what they learned in the classroom and put it into action.”“So far, officers have re- ally taken to participating in this,” Jacobs said, adding the cost was provided by a grant obtained through NC Sen.

Another was tracked to someone wanted for at-tempted murder.“It’s really interesting, and a great tool for us,” Smith said.Now, the casings are taken to the Winston-Salem Police Department to en-ter into the system; Smith hopes Davie will get that machine soon, as well as an indoor chamber to test weapons.A federal ATF agent will train deputies on how to protect such evidence, Smith said.

I know folks believe they don’t have space or time to grow their own foods. But the truth is, with a few rays of sunshine, a hose pipe with water, and a few pots – voila – you’ll be a master gardener in no time.If the thought overwhelms you, think small and take baby steps. You don’t need to live on a farm or spend lots of money or time. So, find a little space – or container – and let’s get growing. You might want to choose container gardening for its ease and convenience. First, you’ll need to find a sunny spot that gets at least 6 hours of direct sun a day. Some leafy greens can take a little shade so check the backs of seed packs and tags on transplants for growing info. The next step would be to decide what vegetables or fruits you like to eat and plan to grow those. But first, I want to suggest some info-packed resources: the NC State Extension provides everything you need to know about container gardening – what type and size of containers, optimal soil and added nutrients, and watering schedule. Be sure to save these websites and refer to them often – and before you plant, follow the directions on the seed pack or plant tag. As far as what to eat and when – I find the North Carolina Dept. of Agriculture’s “What’s in Season” chart to be helpful. Before long, you’ll be enjoy-ing the freshest, best-tasting in-season produce.The March 2023 issue of Carolina Living suggested two tomato standouts for containers – the cherry-type tomato, Terenzo, and a copious producer, Lizzano. The NC State website has a link you can click on that will take you to a chart with other listed plants that are good for con-tainers. Easy peasy, right? In no time at all, you’ll be pick-ing tomatoes for sandwiches right at your back door. And when ready to assemble those sammies – choose a delicious, grainy arti-san bread. Use nothing less than a premium mayo like Dukes with a sprinkle of salt added. In addition – in memory of Daddy – I always add a thin spread of Skippy’s pea-nut butter just like he did. Try it – it’s delicious. Well, I’ve been sharing all about a future love relationship with fresh tomatoes some 63 days from now. And that’s because I’m super jealous of a few friends who are living in the moment – already engaged with tiny asparagus tips that have pushed up through the soil. These vegetable spears are one of the first edibles that spring forth from the dirt – a favorite, versatile, green goodie. The good news is, when eaten plain, the veggie’s packed with nu-trients and vitamins – but low in calories. But so many of us grew up on recipes that called for canned asparagus – I love it, as well. Those slimy spears make some of the best casseroles we’ve ever put in our mouths. While vegetable growth might be seasonal, Biblical scripture is applicable to every season of our lives. The fact that man was first placed in a garden – a place of growth and renewal – is no coincidence.In Isaiah 61:11 (NIV), the prophet delivers a message of comfort, saying, “For as the soil makes the sprout come up and a garden causes seeds to grow, so the Sovereign Lord will make righteousness and praise spring up before all na-tions. In the first chapters of the book of Isaiah, the prophet has called for people to repent of their sins – to return to God and be renewed. In the final chapters, Isaiah deliv-ers messages of forgiveness and hope. He informs people of God’s promises and future blessings. Isaiah compares the blessing of God’s renewal to that of a sprout springing forth from the soil. On Sunday, we sang an old gospel hymn in church – a lovely spiritual titled, “It’s Your Season to be Blessed.” God is the only true Master Gardener. God created every season – and He works every bed of soil for growth, re-newal, and reward. It is He who loves justice and brings equity to His people. It is He who will reward those who suffer. God promises to bless and redeem – and not just for one season. For, in every season – He keeps His promises.

As a sophomore last season, she tried out for the team and was the only goalie who came out. She stepped right in, despite not ever having played.By the time the season was over, Williams was all-confer-ence.This season, the War Eagles are winning a lot more thanks to an offense that’s much improved and Danika’s steady play. The visiting War Eagles beat Mount Tabor 18-7 on Tuesday as Dan-ika faced 24 shots and made 13 saves, despite battling the sun in the second half.“I couldn’t see a thing,” she quipped as she attached her pros- thetics after the game. “I had to adjust my helmet to sort of block the sun, but I’m not sure that even helped.”Danika, who is a junior, has never let her disability define her. She had both her legs amputated when she was 15 months old because of a bilateral congenital tibial deficiency. She was born without a tibia in one leg and only half a tibia in the other. Her parents, Sabrina and Jason Wil-liams, made the difficult decision to amputate her legs up to her thighs.Allowing her to keep her legs would have likely meant she would have been in a wheelchair.Knowing her enthusiasm for life, it’s hard to think of her confined to a wheelchair.“She’s an inspiration, that’s for sure,” said her best friend and teammate, Helena Berrier. “She actually talked me into playing lacrosse, but that’s just how she rolls. She’s very confident and passionate about this sport. Please See Lacrosse - Page B4 By Brian PittsEnterprise Record Sydney Dirks’ status as a Davie softball legend was already secure - she is among the leaders in a number of categories in the Davie record book, including the No. 2 season average (.549) last year as a junior - but she took her status to new heights by breaking the career home run mark in a home showdown against first-place East Forsyth. Unfortunately, while Dirks en-joyed a special moment, the April 11 game did not end the way the War Eagles had hoped. They were edged 5-4 as another “almost” attached itself to a team that leads the Central Piedmont Conference in that hard-luck department. The War Eagles are 2-4 in games decided by one or two runs, including a 6-5 loss to East on March 10. It was the second straight game that ended with a one-run loss (4-3 in 11 innings to Carson on March 30). Things are supposed to even out at some point, right? “Going into the postseason, I truly feel we’re going to be a sleep-er team,” coach Nathan Handy said. “We have so much talent and our record (9-5-1 overall, 5-3 CPC to this point) doesn’t match that talent. We’ve just got to figure out how to pull it out.”Things started well enough. In the bottom of the first, Hanna Stei- An Inspiration: Amputee proves worth on lacrosse field By Brian PittsDavie Enterprise Record Davie baseball coach Joey Anderson was annoyed by a 4-2 loss to Harrison Lewis and West Forsyth, but he wasn’t worried. West was going to use a lesser pitcher in the rematch and he had his undefeated arm (Braeden Rodgers) ready for his sixth start. And just as Anderson hoped, the War Eagles rebounded in re-sounding fashion, thumping West by 10 in six innings. The split left Davie in second place in the wild and wacky Cen-tral Piedmont Conference. At the end of last week, East Forsyth was first at 9-1, followed by Davie (7-3) and a four-way tie for third with Reagan, Reynolds, Glenn and West all at 6-4. “What else would you expect in the CPC?” Anderson said. “I’m real proud of our guys for putting ourselves in this position.”WF 4, Davie 2The War Eagles had a chance to make a statement in the top of the first against Lewis on April 11 in Clemmons. The missed opportuni-ty would come back to haunt them in a 4-2 loss that was tied going into the bottom of the seventh. Coy James singled on the game’s first pitch. The next pitch saw Parker Simmons drop down a bunt hit. Just like that, Davie was threatening. Alas, Lewis shrugged off his slow start and retired the next three batters. “There were lost opportu-nities,” Anderson said. West grabbed a 1-0 lead in the second, but Davie answered right back in the third. James doubled down the left-field line, Simmons delivered a sac bunt and Davin Whitaker pushed James home with a single. Davie starter Jaydon Holder got a strikeout with runners at second and third to end the fourth, but he was victimized by the No. 9 batter in the fifth. Sophomore Parker Trexler jumped on the first pitch, drove it out of the park and gave West a 2-1 lead. But again, Davie responded im-mediately. Whitaker roped a dou-ble off the center-field fence and advanced to third when Jackson Sink reached on an error. Whitaker Dirks breaks home run record nour doubled in Raelyn Lankford as Davie jumped to a 2-0 lead. Steinour, who seems like a rising star as a sophomore, went 2 for 3 with two doubles. “She had two hard-hit balls,” Handy said. “She has really hurt East (three doubles in two games). This year she’s really stepped up and been a huge part of our lineup. Without her, we wouldn’t have won a few games that we did and we wouldn’t have been in games that we ended up losing. She’s exceeding our expectations.”In the top of the third, East blended three hits and a walk into three runs. Then two hits and an error resulted in two more East runs in the sixth, when the Davie deficit reached 5-2. After Davie only managed two hits from the second through the fifth, its biggest offensive stars created drama in the sixth. Sum-mer Simpson roped a triple off the fence in right-center. On the next pitch, Dirks lived out a dream by cranking a two-run homer that pulled Davie within 5-4 and broke a tie with Sierra Ferguson for most career homers. “She has a very consistent swing,” Handy said of the future Western Carolina player. “Nothing changes about her approach from pitch to pitch. She has a natural talent to be able to hit the ball hard. I’m super excited for her to be able to break that record, especially at home. It was probably the longest home run that I’ve ever seen her hit, and probably the longest home run that’s been hit this season in any game we’ve played. It was probably 250-260 (feet). I mean it was crushed. Coming around third base, I don’t think she’s hit my hand that hard before.”Ferguson, a second-year assis-tant coach at Davie, slammed 19 homers from 2015-18. Dirks has 20 and counting, the new standard in the fastpitch program’s 27-year history. “When I was playing and tied the career home run record, it was at Parkland, Morgan (Wyatt) was my assistant coach and she was the one that previously held it,” Fergu-son said. “When Sydney tied my record (on March 24), it was also at Parkland, I am her assistant coach and I was the one who previously held it. History repeated itself. I thought that was pretty cool.”It’s an amazing accomplish-ment considering that two seasons were cut short by the pandemic. Dirks’ 20th bomb came in her 62nd Davie game. “I have had this goal ever since I entered high school,” Dirks said. “And then COVID hit and we had a shortened season, so I didn’t know if I could do it. But it was honestly one of the proudest moments being able to achieve the goal I’ve had for four years now.”East and its pitcher Alex Brown Please See Record - Page B5 Davie wins rematch; holds onto 2nd in CPC scored on West’s second error to tie the game at 2 in the sixth. With a runner at third and two outs in the West sixth, Holder coaxed a groundout to shortstop James, but Davie’s bats went down 1-2-3 in the seventh. That set the stage for West to walk it off in the bottom of the seventh. After Holder got a strike-out, Trexler won the battle with a two-strike single up the middle. He was a thorn in Davie’s side by going 3 for 3. “Maybe (West coach Brad Bullard) puts a strong hitter down there so he can turn that lineup over,” Anderson said. Three pitches later, sophomore leadoff man Luis Acevedo stopped Davie’s four-game winning streak with one big swing, a two-run, walk-off homer. This was Davie’s fifth loss, and four of them have been by one or two runs. “We’ve lost four games in the last inning,” Anderson said. The consolation for Davie was it did fight hard against an elite pitcher. Lewis, a 6-6, 265-pound righthander who has signed with North Carolina, pumps 90-plus heat. He walked one, struck out 10 and held Davie to five hits. Of his 104 pitches, 71 were strikes. “We have great pitching in our conference,” Anderson said. “A lot of people are getting frustrated be-cause certain people aren’t hitting. What people have to understand is these are the best of the best pitch-ers that we’re seeing every week. “It was a good game. It was two good teams. We’re going to come back Friday and we’ll be better.”West had to sweat it out because Holder kept Davie in contention over 6.1 innings. He walked just one as his tidy ERA climbed from 1.05 to 1.48. “They’re not going to make the perfect pitch every single time; I don’t expect them to,” Anderson said of his pitchers. “(Lewis) got out of more jams than we did.”Notes: Davie had a near-miss in the third. After it had scratched to make it 1-1, Brady Marshall barreled an offering, only to see center fielder Jack Vest snag it and keep Whitaker at third. “He smoked a fastball and Vest came in Please See Second - Page B5 Second baseman Sydney Dirks tags an East Forsyth player. - Photo by Marnic Lewis Danika Williams, an all-CPC goalie last year, is one of the big keys to Davie’s improvement in ‘23. B2 ‑ DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, April 20, 2023 After the improvements shown in the match against West Forsyth, the Davie JV soccer team was eager to hit the pitch when Glenn visited Davie on April 12. The hungry War Ea-gles romped 6-0 to stop an 18-match losing streak. There were a few con-cerns for the girls entering the match - due to injuries, illnesses and varsity call-ups. A team that could have a bench with as many as 10 players would take the field with only two girls on the bench. Instead of worrying about getting playing time, now the players would be left wondering if they’d be able to get a rest.“Typically, only one or two girls would stay on the field for the full 70 minutes, but in this match five played the entire match,” coach William Boswell said. “All of the substitutions were made to help keep the de-fense and midfield fresh, permitting us to deny Glenn chances when they did suc-cessfully launch attacks.”After not scoring since opening conference play, Davie (1-5, 1-4 Central Piedmont Conference) opened the scoring just three minutes in with a goal from a determined Isabel Kittle-son. She added a second By Brian PittsEnterprise Record Davie’s JV baseball team dealt West Forsyth a mer-cy-rule drubbing in Clem-mons. You couldn’t possibly have seen that coming. Just two days earlier, the Titans run-ruled the War Eagles, who were amidst a woeful stretch that saw their record tumble to 2-9. So go figure: After Davie was outscored 65-16 during an eight-game losing streak, it responded with wins over Mooresville and West and a team that appeared left for dead on April 11 had found new life the following two days. WF 11, Davie 1The War Eagles arrived in Clemmons on April 11 with a seven-game slump, and things only got worse. They were outhit 12-1, made three errors and lost in six innings. Davie was dominated By Brian PittsEnterprise Record Davie’s tennis team could not quite close the deal on its upset bid at Mt. Tabor on April 11, but Davie gave the Spartans a mighty scare in a 5-4 decision. “It felt more like a steel cage grudge match than tennis, but man was it great tennis,” coach Shane Nixon said. Top seed Burke Rosen-baum and No. 2 Bryce Bai-ley turned in breathtaking performances in singles, with Rosenbaum knocking off Adam Cartright 2-6, 7-5, 10-8 and Bailey outlasting Landon Wishner 7-5, 6-7, 10-5. This was one of the best wins of Rosenbaum’s career. He ran his season record to 13-1 and beat Cartright, a fellow senior, for the second time in his four years. It was also a thrilling moment for Bailey, who lifted his season record to 11-3. The same four players collided at No. 1 doubles. That produced another epic battle, although the Tabor duo squeaked out a victory there to help spell the dif-ference in the team scoring. “The three matches that took place on courts 1-2, this was big boy tennis, as coach (Terri) Eanes said,” Nixon said. “The level of play was spectacular. Burke and Bryce, along with Cartright and Wishner from Tabor, put on a clinic. I think one thing that shows how good it was, we had people walking over from other events - softball, lacrosse, track - while their kids were still participating to see what was going on at the tennis courts. The at-mosphere was electric. The play was superb.“For two years now, (Rosenbaum and Cartright) have gone back and forth. They compete together in doubles in summer tour-naments sometimes. Their familiarity is strong. When Three pitchers combined for a no-hitter and four bat-ters left the yard as North Davie’s baseball team pun-ished Summit 18-0 in three innings in Winston-Salem on April 11. Ty Greene, Nolan Al-len and Alex Bowles each pitched one inning of hitless ball. Offensively, Ty Sain (2 for 2), Tanner Steinour (1-2), Blake French (1-2) and Bowles (1-1) all homered for the Wildcats, who got a double from Ian Patton.

As midfielder Angie Longares moved forward with the ball, I saw all the elements we strive for in practice come together. Jaylene Rivera made a run that spread the defense, allowing Longares to split the defense with a pass that permitted Rivera to take the ball straight to goal and record her first goal of the season.“In the second half, my focus was trying to ensure I could provide a rest to any player that may have needed it.”Kittleson and Rivera each scored in the second half to finish the game with hat tricks. “The game provided a lot of positives for the girls,” Boswell said. “As much as I wanted them to enjoy the feeling of the win, I also wanted them to realize what created their successes. I also wanted them to men-tally prepare for the work that would be necessary to see improved results against other conference opponents the second time through.”This was Davie’s first win since 4-0 at North Ired-ell on March 26, 2021. each team’s best game,” coach Trevor Gooch said. “Hats off to the South Davie team and coaches for a well-played game.”North’s savior was French, who starred on the mound and at the plate. He took the ball in the fifth inning with the tying run at the plate, and he responded with a strikeout to keep the margin at 5-3. He wound up working 2.1 hitless innings. And then there was French’s bat. He cracked two home runs and drove in three runs. “Blake was our super-man today,” Gooch said. “He also made some nice catches in center field.”But French wasn’t the only hero. Patton, who pitched 2.2 innings in mid-dle relief, escaped a bas- es-loaded jam in the second. Steinour and Sain both went 2 for 4. Reynolds Tomlinson made a catch in left field that thwarted a potential South rally in the fifth. And Steinour was nails behind the plate. “Reynolds made the de-fensive gem of the night,” Gooch said. “(With runners at the corners in the third), Tanner executed a perfect fake throw to second, and he ran down the runner on third. In the bottom of the fifth, he threw out a runner at first on a dropped third strike from the backstop. Tanner was a clutch player at crucial points of the game.”The game ended after six innings because of the two-hour time limit. French hits two homers, helping North beat South JV baseball finds new life against Mooresville, WF by West sophomore pitcher Garrett Secrist, who walked none and faced two batters over the minimum (20). Corbin Angus went 1 for 2 with a run scored, Davie’s only hit coming in the third. Davie’s only other baserun-ner was Hunter Potts, who reached on an error in the third. But Secrist retired the last 10 batters and West broke the game open in the sixth, scoring seven runs after starting the inning with a 4-1 lead. Davie 1, Mooresville 0Davie’s offense was dor-mant yet again - it finished with two or fewer runs for the seventh straight game - but it received a much-need-ed jolt from four pitchers in a home nonconference game on April 12. Coston Colamarino, Eli Webber, Larson Stem and Alexander Shinsky com-bined on a four-hitter as Davie picked up its first win since 10-8 at East Surry on March 8. “You saw a little grit and saw guys stepping up,” varsity coach Joey Anderson said. After leaving the bas-es loaded in the first and stranding two runners in the third, the War Eagles broke through in the fourth. After Webber walked and courte-sy-runner Braxton Hunter stole second, Potts delivered an RBI single. Davie missed a chance to add insurance in the sixth. With Ryan Williams on third and Webber on second with one out, the next two batters were retired as the score remained 1-0. The story was Potts’ clutch hit and Davie’s pitch-ing/defense. Colamarino left two Blue Devils on base in the second. Webber faced a bases-loaded threat from Mooresville in the fourth, then induced a groundout to shortstop Carson Queen. A Blue Devil singled in the sixth, but that runner was cut down trying to steal by catcher Potts. Mooresville had the ty-ing run at second in the seventh, but back-to-back grounders to Queen ended Davie’s home struggles. (It was 0-4 at home before this.)“I tried to keep Queen at second base because him and Coy (James, the varsi-ty shortstop) are the same age,” Anderson said. “But Queen’s glove is amazing. He works real hard at it ev-ery single day, so we moved him to short after spring break. He struggled a little bit the first game (at West), but he’s working hard at it. Ross (Hoffner) has worked with him on his arm path.”Colamarino struck out five in 3.2 innings. Webber faced the minimum in 1.1 innings. Stem faced four batters in one inning of work. And Shinsky retired three of four batters in his one inning on the mound. Colamarino was the top offensive player by going 2 for 2. Davie got one hit from Potts (1-4), Stem (1-2, two steals), Nate Barr (1-2, walk), Williams (1-1), Hunter Daywalt (1-1) and Webber (1-1). Davie 12, WF 2The tables completely turned when Davie hosted West Forsyth on April 13. Two days after losing to West by 10, Davie whipped West in five innings. After managing just nine runs across seven games, the offense enjoyed an explo-sion. Webber (single) and Daywalt (two-run double) had hits during a five-run second, a rally that was aided by three walks and an error. Williams, Potts, Stem and Barr had hits in the fifth, when the margin swelled from 7-2 to 12-2. Stem (3-4, two RBIs) and Barr (2-2, two walks) led the way as Davie collected 11 hits. “Larson swung the bat well last year,” Anderson said. “He’s tweaked some things and he’s changed a few things trying to add a little more power. I think we’ve got him locked back in as far as being a line-drive hitter instead of being long through the zone. “Nate’s bat is keeping him in the game. I put him with Davin (Whitaker, a senior) the other day be-cause he kind of has that same swing that Davin had when he was a freshman. We’ve got Nate to where he’s a little wider and he’s been swinging the bat bet-ter. There’s some potential power there.”Helping matters was Daywalt’s complete-game pitching. Although he al-lowed 10 hits in five innings, he escaped trouble when he needed to do so, walked one and fired 58 of 77 pitches for strikes. “Daywalt threw a great game,” Anderson said. “That’s what we needed to see out of him today. He battled and worked his way out of (jams).”Notes: Daywalt benefited from his error-free defense. ... Getting one hit were Potts (1-2, two walks), Queen (1-3), Kason Stewart (1-1, two RBIs, two walks), Webber (1-3), Daywalt (1-2, double, two RBIs) and Williams (1-3). ... Colamarino had two RBIs. ... Davie improved to 4-9 overall and 1-5 in the Central Piedmont Con-ference. Tennis falls 5-4 to Mt. Tabor Cartright got off to the good start, especially after (beat-ing) Burke easily at our place, I wasn’t sure what might happen. That is until I talked to Burke at a swi-tchover. He was calm and we talked about just kind of sticking around in this match - and stick around he did. That second set was a masterpiece. Two guys just literally pummeling tennis balls at each other. Adam hits it so hard, Burke lost the end cap to his racket and broke a string once. Then Burke really got going, and again on the switchover we talked about now making Adam play at Burke’s pace. Burke finally threw his rack-et up in the air at the end and let out a guttural scream. He made me think of his cousin, C (Crenshaw).” The outrageous efforts from Rosenbaum and Bai-ley don’t tell the full story. Sophomore Hayden Key was a part of two electric wins himself, prevailing 7-5, 6-4 at No. 4 singles and teaming with Jackson Hepler for an 8-5 victory at No. 3 doubles. Key raised his singles record to 10-4. “We may have found the next great player at Davie,” Nixon said. “Hayden has played four matches against Tabor this year - two singles and two doubles - and he is 4-0. He has got some real work to step up the way we are going to need him to next year, but man is he on the right path. He literally picked up Jackson after he played easily his worst match of the year, and the two put a good plan together and won in doubles. Jackson is a freshman, so again, the future is not as dismal as some might think losing all we’ll lose this year.”Rosenbaum/Bailey suf-fered a narrow 8-6 loss to Cartright/Wishner, just their second doubles loss in 13 matches this season. Notes: Davie pushed Ta-bor harder than it did in a 6-3 loss at home on March 8. ... Davie is 1-7 in matches de-cided by 6-3 or 5-4 margins. WF 7, Davie 2Two days later, War Ea-gles lost at home loss to first-place West Forsyth. “The schedule-makers didn’t do us any favors in the CPC,” Nixon said. “Tabor and West are the two best teams and we drew them back-to-back. We looked tired. That is not a knock on our guys at all; in fact, it is a compliment. They poured themselves into Tuesday night and gave me every-thing they had today. West is just really good and it wasn’t enough.”Rosenbaum’s singles match went to the third-set tiebreaker. He was simply out of gas and fell short (2-6, 7-5, 6-10). “Burke played so hard,” Nixon said. “He lost the first set and then battled with everything he had. His shoulders were so sore, he had to serve underhanded most of the second and third sets, and yet he made a match of it. He really didn’t want to lose that match, but I think he just ran out of gas. Somehow he rallied, caught a second wind, and he and Bryce took care of business in doubles.”Bailey did outstanding work. After winning 6-1, 6-2 in singles, he helped Rosenbaum to an 8-4 win in doubles. “Bryce had a great week,” Nixon said. “He asserted himself as the best No. 2 and possibly the fourth-best player in the CPC. Wins over the twos from Tabor and West and two doubles wins - it was quite the week for ole Bryce.”Davie, however, offered little resistance at six spots in the lineup. Nixon said that had everything to do with West. “West is as deep as any team we played this year,” he said. “All kudos to them. It was just kind of a tip-your- hat-to-the-better-team kind of day.”Davie (7-8 overall, 6-6 CPC) has dropped three in a row. 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 DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, April 20, 2023 ‑ B3 About a month ago, some of the miscreants I consider fountains of hunting knowledge started talking – about one thing in particular.“They’re gobbling; I heard them the other morn-ing,” was a common theme.Yes, when turkey gob-blers start making the noise for which they are famous, it gets the blood of turkey hunters everywhere flow-ing like nothing else.And for some, that’s a problem. I know that for a fact, because it was a prob-lem for me the first handful of years that I hunted seri-ously for turkeys.I loved hearing a big bird belt out a gobble too much.When I decided I didn’t need to hear a bird gobble everytime I called to him, I started killing turkeys.First, when gobblers are opening up at just about ev-erything that makes a loud noise, it’s probably too ear-ly to be hunting them. That was the thing that made Mike Seamster, who was the N.C. Wildlife Resourc-es Commission’s turkey bi-ologist for decades, set the season’s opening day when he did – the second Satur-day in April.He wanted to get the state’s turkeys past their first peak of gobbling be-fore letting a camouflaged army start sending loads of copper-plated No. 4s – or in my case, TSS No. 9s – in their direction.His explanation? When tom turkeys are gobbling the most, they are doing the most breeding, and they have the attention of most of the hens in the woods. Right off, we have to agree that it’s tough to kill a gob- John Weatherington of Mocksville killed this nice gobbler the afternoon of April 8, opening day of North Carolina’s spring turkey season, on a family farm in Davie County. bler who has hens crowded around him. Second, you need to wait to kill him un-til after he’s bred most of those hens.That’s why North Caro-lina’s season opener is, for example, one to two weeks later than South Carolina and Georgia.Once plenty of hens have been bred – after a couple of weeks – tom tur-keys go gobbling again: the second peak. Seamster tried to set up the dates for North Carolina’s spring turkey season to take advantage of that second gobbling, when there were less hens around to compete with your yelps, clucks and purrs. Because calendar shifts can put the second Saturday as ear-ly as April 8 (as happened this year) or as late as April 15, where that second peak falls matters.When the season opened, say, April 12 or earlier, Seamster expected the second week of the sea-son to be the most produc-tive. When it opened later, the first week of the season would be the bomb.My experience bears that out. In the handful of years when I’ve killed an opening day bird, it was when the season opened later. Birds I’ve killed a week or two into the sea-son have usually coincided with an early opening day.That takes care of tim-ing, now, on to the prob-lems involved with loving to hear birds gobble. I’ll admit, there’s noth-ing like it in the world, sitting with your back up against a big beech tree before dawn and hearing a bird belt out a throaty hello from a tree a hundred or so yards away.The problem early in my hunting career was that I wanted to hear them gob-ble all the time. So if I got a bird gobbling, I wanted him to keep gobbling all the way to the end of my gun barrel, so I’d call too much, trying to get him to gobble repeatedly. Typically, that bird would come in a way, then stop, and when I kept pouring it to him with a box or mouth call, he’d even-tually turn and walk away, gobbling every couple of minutes. When I tired of hearing turkeys gobbling while leaving my area, I re-alized calling so much and not getting toms into range must have been related.And I started killing more turkeys.Marshall Collette of Greensboro, a pro staffer for Quaker Boy calls and Mossy Oak camo, under-stood. He’s a firm believer in the concept that often-times, less is more.“When you’re calling a turkey,” Colette said. “You’re reversing nature. The hen usually comes to him; you’re trying to make him come to you. He’s gon-na come as far as he thinks he needs to, to where he should be able to see his girlfriend, and then he’ll stop.”I had that happen in South Carolina two weeks ago. I called a bird off the roost, across a half-mile-wide swamp, and he stopped 60 yards away, be-hind a bank of palmettos. He stayed there 5 minutes, gobbled three or four times, then walked off, gobbling as he went back to the oth-er side of the swamp. He didn’t see a hen and didn’t trust that there was one waiting for him – only me, blinded in at the base of a big pine tree, 12-gauge in hand.Colette believes that loud calling to locate a bird is acceptable. But once he gobbles a couple of times and expresses interest, a hunter should go quiet, calling only enough to let a tom know where you are – not elicit another gobble.“When he hits the ground, you want to let him know you’re there,” he said. “The closer he gets, the quieter you call. Most hunters want to call ‘til they can see him, then shut up. I want to quit calling before I see him, and I don’t want to see him until he’s in range.“If a turkey hangs up there, out of range, it’s of-ten because you called too loud and too often.” Oh, the excitement of hearing a turkey gobble Clemmons 6339 Jessie Lane (lower level behind Dairi-O)336-293-8660 WInsTon-sAlem 278 Harvey Street (near LA Fitness)336-722-8477 www.fleetfeetclemmons.com Locally Owned & Operated by Emily & Keith Davis $15 oFFA Pair of Full-Priced shoes Present this Clemmons Courier coupon.

Johnson signs with Brevard B4 - DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, April 20, 2023 Continued From Page B1Nothing has held her back, and she inspires us to want to play better.”Berrier, like several teammates, has known Danika since grade school.“We played basketball in middle school together, and she adjusted to that sport and she’s done the same thing with lacrosse,” Berrier said.Fellow teammate and friend, Emma Jones, said: “She brings a lot of confi-dence and really gives us a boost every game. ... She’s amazing.”Like a lot of children during their elementary and middle school years, Danika tried different sports. She played bas-ketball at Ellis Middle School, was on a swim team and is an accom-plished drag racer, thanks to her father and grandfa-ther, Rusty Williams, who built a specially made car for her. In her elementa-ry school days, she tried baseball and softball as well.Danika’s mom died in July 2017, but her grand-mother, Lisa Williams, has been there to help raise Danika and her two Lacrosse ... younger sisters, Casey and Sierra.“When we were playing at schools for the first time last season, coaches would come up to me and say ‘she’s really good,’” Lisa said. “And a lot of parents from other schools would tell me she’s awesome and is an inspiration.”Watching Danika play goalie is like watching a good quarterback direct a team. She’s constantly yelling instructions to her defenders such as “Back, Helena, Back” or “Who is marking 44?” or she’ll even tell her teammates “that was my bad” after giving up a goal.One of her best assets is her outlet passes. Some goalies like to run out of the goal after making a save to start the attack, but Danika has a different style because she’s not able to sprint quickly out of the goal. Instead, she makes quick, pinpoint outlet pass-es with most of them going all the way to midfield to an open teammate.“I don’t think you need to run out like that to be successful, and I’ve seen goalies do that and lose the ball,” Danika said, “so I like to use those outlet passes after making a save, and that way we can get the attack started quickly.“I can launch it down the field pretty far, and I have one assist so far.”Before her sophomore year, Danika went to the open house at Davie Coun-ty. Then-head coach Lydia Moore suggested Danika give the sport a try. Moore is now an assistant coach.“Lydia says to Danika that she should try la-crosse,” Lisa said. “And Danika was like ‘I don’t even know what lacrosse is.’ So then she looked at me and said ‘I think I’m going to try it.’”Haley Hines, who was a volunteer assistant coach last season, became the head coach this season. She’s been amazed at Danika’s improvement. Hines, who played lacrosse at Frostburg State, loves how Danika has taken to the sport.“You have to be crazy to be a lacrosse goalie,” Hines said. “And she has the tenacity to go out and put herself in the line of fire, and it is exactly her personality.”Last summer, Danika went to a college lacrosse camp and loved the atmo- sphere. Her performance at the camp led to a string of calls from college coaches.“She is very athletic,” Hines said. “She’s fast for a goalie and has quick hands and just knows how to play. She’s had multiple colleges contact her, and they don’t care that she doesn’t have legs because her work ethic is off the charts.”Danika said she would love to continue to play in college, and one possibility is at Brevard. Her grand-mother says Brevard has reached out several times to talk with Danika, who is a constant on her high school’s honor roll.“I went to a camp that had a bunch of college coaches, and they said they’ve never seen a goalie that was as vocal as me,” Danika said. “I like all the positive comments because I take pride in getting bet-ter and better in this sport.”Danika and her grand-mother credit Kate Mullen, an assistant coach at West Forsyth, with helping Danika get better. Mul-len trains goalies and has worked with Danika on the nuances of lacrosse.“Kate has been great, and she has to train Danika a little differently,” Lisa said.Danika has taken to lacrosse so much that she’s given up drag racing. “It’s all lacrosse now, so I’m not drag racing anymore.” Lisa Williams says it’s fun watching Danika play lacrosse.But, Williams says it hasn’t always been smooth sailing for Danika.“There’s a few kids who have said some things about her playing, and I told her to just brush those comments off because you are proving them wrong,” Williams said. “She uses that to her advantage when she hears negative com-ments because she’s never let her disability get in the way. I’m so proud of the way she handles all of that, and those comments never bring her down.”Danika focuses on all the good things people say, and her attitude toward life is a lesson for everybody.“I like the adrenaline of this sport because every save matters,” Danika said. “I’ve heard I’m the best goalie they have seen, legs or no legs. So I take that as a compliment.” Colby Moore broke par for the second time in his Davie golf career in a non-conference meet at Oak 35 at Pine Knolls on March 9. Moore matched his career best from a meet at Oak Val- Valley on April 11. The senior shot 1-un-der 35 to tie two players from Reynolds for medalist honors. It was the second under-par score for the War Eagles this season; Cooper Drum recorded a 1-under ley in April of 2022. Anderson Beliveau (40) was second for Davie and eighth overall. Carter Spill-man, Sean Coates, Landon Packard and Drum were next for Davie with 42s. Reynolds shot 2-over 146 to Davie’s 159 and Forbush’s 161. •••One day later on Tangle-wood’s Reynolds Course, the War Eagles tightened their grip on second place in the Central Piedmont Conference. Davie shot 10-over 154 behind Beliveau (1-over 37), Packard (38), Drum (39) and Moore (40). Be-liveau tied for third overall. The team scoring saw Reynolds at 148, Davie at 154, Reagan at 161, Mt. Ta-bor at 169, West Forsyth at 179 and East Forsyth at 180. The season standings did not change as the teams head toward the stretch run. Reynolds continued to pull away from the pack, and Davie added separation be-tween itself and third-place Reagan. The top four head-ing into this week: Reynolds 910, Davie 936, Reagan 956, Tabor 998. in conjuction with the Davie County Enterprise Record Invite you to nominate an individual to be recognized as VETERAN OF THE MONTH A Veteran will be chosen from the entries and published in the Davie County Enterprise Record on the first Thursday of the month. sponsored by: Submit your nominationourdavie.com/veterans Moore shoots one-under par at Oak Valley Danika Williams (center) with West Forsyth players Gaby Vestal and Brighde Mullen.

DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, April 20, 2023 - B5 Continued From Page B1dodged a bullet in the sev-enth and held on to beat Da-vie for the 10th consecutive time. Delaney Parsons start-ed the bottom of the sev-enth with a four-pitch walk, the only batter Brown has walked in 14 innings against Davie this season. With one out, Jaydn Davis reached on an error. That meant the big bats - Simpson and Dirks - were coming up with two on. Everyone in the stands could envision a storybook finish ... but it wasn’t meant Record ... to be. Simpson and Dirks grounded out and Davie fell further behind East and West Forsyth in the CPC standings. “Ninety-nine times out of a hundred, one of those two are going to put something through the infield,” Handy said. “We’re all human.”Notes: East, which beat West 6-5 in eight innings, improved to 10-2 overall. ... Steinour and Simpson (2-4) had 2 hits each. Lankford (1-4), Dirks (1-4) and Riley Potts (1-3) had 1 each. ... Only 3 of the 5 runs off Potts, who went the distance in the circle for Davie, were earned. ... Ferguson might have lost her career homer record, but she still has plenty of others, including longest hitting streak (37 games), season average (.573), season hits (47), sea-son RBIs (47), career RBIs (112) and season homers (10). “(The hitting streak) is my favorite record,” Fer-guson said. “I hope I keep that one for a while. But I’ll be happy for anyone who breaks them. If records weren’t meant to be broken, we wouldn’t keep up with them.” ... Davie raced past inferior Reynolds 17-0 in two and a half innings on April 12. Davis and Dirks rapped three hits apiece and Addie Hendrix pitched 3 hitless innings as the De- mons sank to 0-14. ... East (10-0) and West (10-1) are 1-2 in the CPC. Davie (10-5-1 overall) is third at 6-3, followed by Reagan at 7-4. Continued From Page B1and made a good play,” Anderson said. “If that balls gets down, it’s a different ballgame.” ... The top three batters in the order had all five of Davie’s hits. James went 2 for 4, Simmons 1-2 and Whitaker 2-3. ... The game illustrated the unpre-dictability of the CPC. West (11-7 overall) lost twice to Reagan (3-2, 12-2); Davie swept Reagan (1-0, 2-1). Mooresville 10, Davie 0This home nonconfer-ence game on April 12 proved to be forgettable: Davie gave up eight runs in the top of the first and was held to four hits. In that first, Mooresville collected eight hits and all but settled the issue. Whitaker (1-2), Marshall (1-2), Sink (1-1, walk) and Parker Aderhold (1-2) had the hits for Davie. The Blue Devils (9-8) banged out 13 hits, raised their winning streak to four and had their third shutout in nine days. Davie 12, WF 2After dropping two in a row for the first time all season, the War Eagles gave their fans plenty to cheer about in the rematch with visiting West on April 13. The offense erupted, Rodgers sustained his torrid season on the hill and Davie dealt a mercy-rule beating. It was the all-around game Anderson’s been looking for on a consistent basis,. “We swung the bats bet-ter than we probably have all year,” he said. “We passed the torch to the next guy and kept getting big hits.”Davie erased West’s 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first. James pulled a double down the line. On the next pitch, Simmons placed a perfect bunt toward third. Two pitches after that, Whitaker unloaded a triple. In the second, when the mar-gin grew from 3-1 to 5-1, Marshall singled to plate Aderhold and James. In the sixth, Simmons finished the bashing with a two-run, walk-off hit. The game saw more he-roics from James, who went 2 for 2 with two runs, three walks and two steals. The sophomore is hitting .469. “Coy is very mature for his age,” Anderson said. “He does put a lot of pressure on himself - he feels like he should get a hit every single time - to the point where he wants to be better every sin-gle day. He’s always work-ing with his swing. Not a lot of people are throwing him fastballs. They’re throwing curveballs, sliders and try-ing to get him to chase. But he doesn’t chase many.”Whitaker (2-4, two RBIs, three runs) stayed hot and lifted his average to .318. “Davin’s been swinging well,” Anderson said of his three-hole batter. “Davin’s one of the hardest-working kids I know. A lot of these boys put a lot of time in outside of our practices.”There was a ripple effect throughout Davie’s lineup on a day when West used four pitchers. (All four gave up runs, with the starter recording just one out.) Simmons went 2-4 with four RBIs, Miller went 2-4 and Marshall (1-1, two RBIs, three walks), Cooper Bliss (1-3), Drew Krause (1-3) and Aderhold (1-4) had one hit apiece. Although Sink went 0-3, he had one of the best at-bats of the year. He saw 11 pitches in the fifth, fouling off four straight offerings before hitting a sac fly. “Jackson just kept battling and battling and battling,” Anderson said. “We did a lot of things right to keep the pressure on them.”Rodgers’ confidence lev-el is through the roof after his third complete game. He scattered nine hits, gave up one earned run and pushed his record to 5-0. His ERA is 0.84. “Drew (Krause, the catcher) called most of that game because we felt like he had a better feel for what Braeden was throwing well and what he wasn’t.” Notes: Marshall is sec-ond to James with a .342 average. Krause is fourth at .302. ... Davie is 10-6 over-all. ... Davie and West have been exchanging blows for years. Last year they met three times. West won 11-3. Two days later, Davie won 24-10. Then West blanked Davie 10-0 in the second round of the playoffs. 2nd ... 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.

She attended Cool Spring High, where she was class histori-an in 1952. In the 1950s the Lagles moved to Mocks-ville, and Ailene graduat-ed from Mocksville High School in 1956.In February 1958, Ailene married Billy Potts of the Cornatzer community at Main Street Church of Christ; the couple initially lived on Markland Road and reared children Reggie and Anita. The family attended Cornatzer Baptist. Later as the couple became "empty nesters," they made their home on Wilkesboro Street in Mocksville.Ailene enjoyed a career working as a cardiologist office assistant. Gentle and caring, she was a caregiver for her brother and father after her mother's death. She enjoyed having dinner with friends and spending time with family. A graveside service cel-ebrating her life was held Monday afternoon in the Cornatzer Baptist Ceme-tery; she was laid to rest beside Billy, who died De-cember 2017. Alice Wall remains in rehab at Davie Nursing and Rehabilitation Center. Join us in prayer for the Lord's divine healing upon Alice and other residents who are having health problems. Pray for the Lord's comfort and support upon the fami-ly of Ailene as they deeply miss her in life.Remember in prayer Johnny and Cheryl Benfield Taylor; Johnny's mother Dorothy "Dot" Taylor died Saturday, April 8, and a graveside service was held last Thursday afternoon at New Hope Baptist Church Cemetery.

Before the morning service, Kathy and Bob El-lis and Kathy and Pat Miller hosted a breakfast for those attending the morning ser- vice. Those who enjoyed the breakfast appreciated their hospitality.The Wesley Chapel country ham breakfast on was a success.
