The graves are in the same section of the older part of the cemetery, in the back off of Yadkinville Road.The word “Patriot” to describe those loyal to becoming a new coun-try started with 18th Century writers, including Benjamin Franklin, and specifically referred to the colonists willing to fight British rule.The markers were erected April 15 in a ceremony sponsored by Col. Joseph Winston Chapter of the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution, and the Bethabra Chapter of the Col. Daniel Boone Chapter of the N.C. Society of Sons of the American Revolu-tion.It included prayers, costumed reenactors, speeches, music and rec-ognition of descendants of Jones and Gaither.

I love the mountains and looked forward to a pleasant day of driving, running and exploring with the best forecast of any of my recent trips.Morganton, Burke County’s seat, was first on my list. Arriving just after 9 a.m., I found an already ac-tive welcome center with four women at work. I quickly had a downtown map with points An angler fishes in Cane Creek, which washed Bak- ersville, the county seat of Mitchell County, away in 1901. - Photo by David Freeze A beautiful day in the mountains of interest.

Autism AwarenessBy Julie Terry CartnerMesmerized by the dust motes sparking in the sunlight beams coming through her window, eight-year-old Ken-zie reached out, hoping to catch them on her fingertips. They were magical, and she sat there, transfixed. As often happened, time ceased to have meaning, and she had no idea when the noise buzzing in her ears finally transformed into her mother’s voice calling her to dinner. Annoyed by the interruption but understanding this is the way things are done, which had been drilled into her head umpteen billion times, Kenzie stood up from the floor, brushed off her pants, and headed into the kitchen, restraining herself from stomping her feet. Part of her therapy was focused on learning self-control. “You can’t control what others say or do, Kenzie. You can only learn to control yourself and your reaction to what’s going on around you.” That mantra had been drilled into her head by her therapist, then her mom.“What have you been doing, Kenzie,” her mother asked. “I’ve been calling and calling you. “I need to stir the pasta, so please set the table and pour the drinks.”Kenzie tried; she really did, but she didn’t have the words to explain to her mother about the dust motes, their shiny sparkles drifting through the air. Like a cloud, she thought, or fairy dust. Mom would never understand. She’d just tell Kenzie to quit woolgathering. So instead, she just mumbled, “Sorry, Mom,” and did as she was asked. She liked setting the table. Each napkin folded precise-ly so all the corners matched up, each fork placed exactly in the center of each napkin, the knife, blade facing out to the right of the plate inside the spoon. Nice. Neat. Clean. Unfortunately, she didn’t feel the same way about drinks. With the ice maker, it was difficult to control the number of cubes falling into each glass. Sometimes she’d open the freezer and reach in with her hands so she could put ex-actly six cubes in each glass, but if Mom caught her, there would be a lecture. “Unsanitary,” she’d say, even though Kenzie obsessively washed her hands. With some judicious juggling of cubes, Kenzie man-aged to get the correct number of ice into each glass, then she filled each glass with water, stopping exactly one-half inch from the top. All this took time, of course, and by the time she’d managed to fill the glasses to her exacting standards, the pasta was done, and dinner was on the table, Mom tapping her foot impatiently.It was just her mom and Kenzie now. After many fights, often about her, Kenzie knew, her dad had walked out. “I didn’t sign up for this,” he’d said. He’d continued with words too ugly to say, indicating he thought she was lack-ing intelligence and that had no use for her. Then he’d shaken his head and walked out.Kenzie knew she wasn’t stupid; in fact, she knew more about lots of things than he did. Right now, it was astron-omy. Already she could name 37 constellations, and she added a few more every week. Soon she’d know all 88. It had started, like with many children, with the Big Dipper, but her fascination grew. She could see the patterns as if they were outlined in flashing neon lights, and she won-dered why others couldn’t. Her dad could only find three: the big dipper, the small dipper and Orion’s belt, not even the entirety of Orion. He was the one who wasn’t smart, she thought to herself, smirking.Her mom didn’t understand her either, but at least she tried. After her teachers at school had requested a confer-ence, Mom had come home both sad and relieved. She’d explained to Kenzie that her teachers believed she was in the autistic spectrum and suggested she meet with a doctor for testing, followed by counseling and therapy. It wasn’t that Kenzie was bad or misbehaved; she just saw and ex-isted in the world in a different way. They explained that Kenzie could learn how to fit in, while still maintaining her individuality, but they all needed to work together to make that happen. The counseling had started, and, though progress was slow, it was still progress. Boston MarathonBy Denise Bell The Boston Marathon is the oldest annual marathon in the world and is one of the six major marathons in the world. Attracting runners from around the world, it is held on Patriot’s Day, the third Thursday in April. Held every year since 1897 the only year the Boston Marathon was not run was 2020. The only year it was not run on Patriot’s Day was 2021. That race was held in October 2021. I became interested in running in 2013. My daugh-ter’s had run half and full marathons in Detroit including the International Marathon which goes over the bridge into Canada, along the Canadian side of the Detroit River and back to the US via the tunnel under the river. My neph-ew has been a runner since high school. It was his passion. He ran the Detroit Marathons as well as others around the state. Some of these races he finished with times which would qualify him to run the Boston Marathon. Qualifying times go by age group and for his age group he had to run 26.2 miles in 3 hours or less.In March of 2013, I decided that I would like to run a bit too. Just enough to get active. I had no desire to run mara-thons. So, I joined a “Couch to 5k” group in my neighbor-hood. Our first race would be in May at the beginning of our city’s Memorial Day Parade. We gathered every other evening and ran along a peaceful, tree lined trail that ran along a large lake. A little further each night. On Monday April 15, 2013, three hours after the first person crossed the finish line two bombs were denotated killing three people, injuring over 200 more and ending the race. My group cancelled our run that evening and the next night our coach handed us bibs that we wore that night as we ran. 4.15.13 Boston- Runners United to Remember. We ran that night in support of all of Boston and those directly affected by the bombings. Later that year, my nephew qualified for the Boston Marathon and decided to enter. My sisters and I decided to make the trip to Boston to support him. When we all got to Boston the city was abuzz with Boston Strong electricity. Everywhere was a show of unity and support of the city, the race as well as our country. My sisters and I followed him along the route and were there at the finish line one year after the bombing in support of him, the victims and all of Boston.This month my nephew ran the Boston Marathon ten years after the bombing. My sisters and I did not make the trip, but we were there in spirit supporting him. We were able to follow him on an app and saw where he was on the course. When he crossed the finish line I was as proud of him at that moment as I was nine years earlier. My thoughts then turned in remembrance and prayer for the victims of the bombings and their families. Boston Strong! A Little Too SeriousBy Marie CraigYears ago, in another lifetime, I made friends with a woman who had children the same ages as mine. We ma-mas enjoyed visiting and sharing life experiences while the four young children played together. We lived on the same street in a fairly large town. She told me that she grew up a few miles away, out in the country where her mother still lived. Visits were often. She shared with me that she had recently been to see her mother on a week-day and had accompanied her to her little church’s prayer meeting that night. At the beginning, the attendees listed the concerns and illnesses of their friends and neighbors for whom prayer was needed. My friend told me about one woman who was upset about another woman’s illness and that she was afraid she was going to die. She talked about this need in great detail, and finally the congregation realized that she was describing a character on her soap opera she watched every day. I can’t remember if the ac-tress was included in the prayer that followed.About ten years ago, I was working very hard each day compiling one of the history books I’ve written. The deep concentration and focus had made me a little goofy. So I got up to go see what my husband was doing. His den was at the end of the house, with the doorway between him and the tv. My giddiness continued as I leaped into the room between him and the tv and yelled “Cowabun-ga!” Both cats exploded out of the room, and my husband held his chest as he recovered. What I didn’t know was that he was watching an old World War Two movie taking place in Japan. There was intense drama as soldiers hid behind trees shooting at each other. My timing and choice of exclamation was just a little too much as I unknowingly scared him and two cats. We had a friend who was very pragmatic and eager to solve problems, both at work with my husband and as our friend. He described an experience at his church that was an example. His men’s Sunday School class was upstairs in the old building, and every Sunday they discussed the un-sightly Venetian blinds at the window. They never seemed to reach any conclusions, just talked about the problem. One Sunday, our friend had had enough. He walked to the window, opened it, reached up and unhooked the blinds, threw them out the window, and closed it. He sat back down and said, “Now, can we have Sunday School?” Oriental to AdvanceBy Gaye HootsThe three miles of Teach’s Cove Road, where I live in a small condo that ends in a cul de sac at our building, was the most interesting stretch of my trip. An older man was walking with his Blue Heeler; it was off leash and on the opposite side of the road, but it darted to him as my car ap-proached. I always drive slowly because people walk their dogs and bike here, so I was prepared. The man waved, and I drove another mile, where I saw two deer crossing the street. They are used to traffic stopping for them and slowly walked in front of me. As I started to accelerate, a third deer, the color of asphalt and blending into the road, slowly followed them. As I approached the stop sign. a large, wild turkey slowly strutted across in front of my car. There is little traffic here, so wildlife owns the road.Since my last visit, I have lost two classmates, Lula Cook, a sweet and intelligent girl and a sister to Bill Cook, and Glenda Potts Boger who was a classmate from first grade until she married during our high school years. Our first work experience was babysitting for our teacher, who had five children, the eldest six years old. We earned our money. Glenda was very family oriented and played piano in her church. Get out of the house this weekend and go hear some live music.MerleFest is going on.From just about anywhere in Davie County, you can drive to Wilkesboro, park and be inside the gate in just over an hour. Take NC 901 and drive through Union Grove. Reminisce about the great bluegrass festivals held there - the rowdy ones, and the more subdued ones put on by the family of Mocksville’s Hank Van Hoy. Give a nod to the Cook Shack when you drive by, and think about the top-notch musicians who played inside that country store. Hearing Verlon Thompson singing as he sneaked in through the back door there is a musical memory I won’t forget.MerleFest brings in some of the best musicians from around the world, but still showcases local tal-ent. Last year, His & Hers from Davie County were among the performers.This year, Trap Hill’s Presley Barker will kick the festival off at 3 p.m. Thursday. He’s young. He’s good looking. He has a great stage presence. And, oh yeah, he can sing. You’ll hear him on the radio someday. But first, go see him at MerleFest.It gets better. Thursday’s lineup also includes Tom-my Emmanuel, one of the best guitarists out there, followed by Little Feat. Think “Dixie Chicken.” Pret-ty cool southern song for a bunch of guys from LA (The California LA, not Davie’s Lower Advance.).The night ends with brothers Chris and Rich Rob-inson. Be ready to rock.The music only gets better from there. All day and into the night on Friday and Saturday, wrapping up late Sunday afternoon. Expect to see many of the liv-ing legends in bluegrass and acoustic music, country music, rock music, Americana, dance music. You get the picture.This year, the festival will take on another mile-stone, as 2023 marks what would have been Doc Watson’s 100th birthday. Doc helped start the festival in memory of his son, Merle, who died in a tractor accident. The goal was to start a garden at Wilkes Community College accessible to the handicapped, especially the blind. Doc Watson was blind for all but the first few months of his life. His music lives on.That garden thrives. And so do the students at the college and the people of Wilkes County, all thanks, in part, to MerleFest.It’s all about the music there. And it really is family friendly. Alcoholic beverages aren’t sold, and there’s plenty of open spaces for the kids to get rid of some energy. People who love music take care of each oth-er, so shenanigans aren’t tolerated. But you can be yourself. You can dance. It’s all a judgment free zone. Just be kind to one another.Did I mention the music?The Avett Brothers close the show on Friday night. It’s Maren Morris on Saturday. Sunday’s finale in-cludes Tanya Tucker, followed by Nickle Creek.The Waybacks, usually with a special guest or two, will play an entire album on Saturday afternoon. It’s usually a famous rock album, rendered by the pro-gressive bluegrass band. It’s popular, so get to the Hillside Stage early for that one.There are several activities specifically relating to Doc Watson, including a documentary about the fes-tival. The all-star tributes to Doc should be something special, as well.So do yourself a favor.Dust off those foldable chairs, hop in the car and head to Wilkesboro. Come home inspired.- Mike Barnhardt DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, April 27, 2023 - 3Presidential Mothers Renegade ... By Betty Etchison WestFor the Enterprise Author Bonnie Angelo wrote a book titled, “First Mothers, The Women Who Shaped the Presidents.” The chapter concerning the mother of President Har-ry Truman is titled, “Be a Good Boy, Harry.” That is exactly what Martha Tru-man wanted—she wanted her son to be a good person; she never thought about her son being President of the United States.Martha Young was born to Solomon and Harriet Louise Greg Young on Nov. 25, 1852. The Young fami-ly was a true frontier fam-ily. They moved from the East to the Missouri/Kan-sas border in 1841 when that was the country’s west-ernmost edge. Mr. Young was a farmer and a wagon master who led Conestogas wagon trains as they moved to new homes in the west-ern territories. Sometimes there would be as many as 80 wagons in a train. Being a wagon master was a lucrative business, but it meant that Solomon Young was sometimes away from his home for months at a time. His wife, Harriet Young, was a tough, resilient lady who met all difficulties head on. Once when she was alone with her large family of eight children, a band of Indians came to their home and threatened the family if they didn’t meet their de-mands. Mrs. Young turned a vicious dog loose, and it chased the Indians away. Martha Young (Tru-man), who years later be-came the mother of a Pres-ident of the United States, learned from her strong mother how to care for her-self and her family. The Young family were southern sympathizers. Be-cause of their sympathy for the South, a band of man called Red Legs, who were dressed in Union uniforms, came and forced the Young family into captivity. They stayed in what was really like a concentration camp for about three years. The Red Legs also stole many of the Young’s valuables, their silver, etc. This ex-perience caused Martha Young to have such strong anti-northern feelings that when she visited the White House after her son became president that she refused to sleep in the Lincoln bed. She said that she would sleep on the floor first. Living on the frontier was not easy, and Martha Young learned much from her mother about meeting every situation without flinching. After Martha finished high school, she decided that she wanted to go to college. Going to college was unheard of for most girls at that time, but not for Martha Young. She found a way to enroll in Baptist Female College in Lexington, Mo. She studied art, music and literature. The girls were allowed to meet boys from Wentworth Military Academy, and Martha enjoyed the dances each month. When Martha went back to her home, Grand-view, there was a lot more dancing. She is quoted in Angelo’s book as saying “I’m what you might call a Lightfoot Baptist.” That was unusual at that time in history because Baptists were against dancing. All of this background helps one understand the strong, enlightened woman who married John Truman on Dec. 28, 1881, and be-came the mother of four children, one of whom died as an infant. Martha Young Truman could be called an ideal mother. She found ways to provide her chil-dren everything they need-ed, but she never tried to control their every move.John Truman was a farmer and a mule trader. Martha fulfilled the role of a farmer’s wife, but being a good mother to her chil-dren was her first priority. When Harry was young, she taught him to read us-ing the family’s large print Bible. She also began to teach him to play the piano. Martha was observant lady. Once during a Fourth of July celebration, she saw all the children being carried away by the fireworks. She saw that Harry was sitting nearby and not even pay-ing attention. She realized that Harry could not even see the fireworks. Her hus-band was away from home, but, the very next day, Martha Truman hitched up two horses to a wagon and took her son, Harry, to an eye doctor in Kansas City, which was about 15 miles from her home. The doctor discovered that indeed Har-ry could barely see. He put strong glasses on Harry and that opened up a whole new world for the boy.The Truman family moved from the farm to Independence. Harry con-tinued his piano lessons. Martha felt that her son was really talented and that he might become a pro-fessional musician. Harry began taking lessons from a local music teacher, and, then, she got him signed up with a Vienna-trained professional in Kansas City. He would ride a trol-ley from Independence to Kansas City. Harry was a serious student who prac-ticed two hours per day. Harry got to meet the fa-mous pianist, Paderewski, who was performing in Kansas City. Harry’s moth-er even arranged for Harry to meet the famous pianist backstage. Harry told Mr. Paderewski that he was having trouble with his Minuet in G. That famous man sat down at the piano and helped Harry with the part of Minuet in G that was troubling him. Years later when Truman was at-tending a party honoring the Kennedys in the East Room at the White House, Harry sat down at the pia-no and played Minuet in G from memory.Martha Young Truman did not force her children to do things; she provided the opportunities and let them decide. Martha Tru-man provided good books such as the complete works of Shakespeare, Plutarch’s Lives, a four-volume sets of Great Men and Famous Women and books of po-etry. Harry wanted to read; he read all those books, and, by the time he was a teenager, he had read all the books in the Independence Library. Mr. Truman continued trading, and he began in-vesting wheat futures. He did well for a while, and then he lost everything in one fell swoop. When Harry graduated from high school, there was no money to send him to college. He really wanted to go to West Point, but his eye sight was too poor. Harry, who was largely self-educated, took a job in a bank.When he was a young boy, Harry saw a little, blue-eyed Bess Wallace on the playground. He said that he fell in love with Bess then, and he never loved another girl. Harry spent many years courting Bess. World War I came, and Harry wanted to volunteer. He wanted to enlist so bad-ly that he memorized the eye chart so he could pass the physical. Harry passed and ended up in some of the most brutal fighting of the war. Throughout the time he was serving in the mili-tary, Harry carried a picture of Bess in one of his shirt pockets and a picture of his mother in the other. He wrote hundreds of letters to both women.Back home, Harry won his Bess’s hand. He was 35 when they were married, and she was 34. Harry was able to get a job as a judge, not a legal judge, but a man who was overseer of road building, etc. in the coun-ty. From that political job, he moved on up the ladder and was finally elected as a Senator from Missouri. His success in the Sen-ate caught the attention of President Roosevelt who asked him to run with him as his vice president. The Roosevelt/Truman ticket easily won the election. Just a few months af-ter that election, President Roosevelt died. Harry Truman from Missouri be-came the 33rd President. His mother did not seem to be overly impressed be-cause she said that Harry wasn’t actually elected by the people to be President; he was elected by the peo-ple to be vice president. Even when he was Presi-dent, Harry never forgot his mother, and he never forgot the character traits which taught him by example. Those were the traits that endeared him to the Amer-ican people—his humility, his honesty, his “what you see is what you get” down-to-earth personality. Harry still wrote letters to his mother by the doz-ens and also called her. If something important hap-pened like the end of World War II, Martha knew she would get a call. That call always came through. Mar-tha lived two years after her son became the president, but she died before the peo-ple elected him President.In 2021, President Tru-man was ranked as the sixth best when historians ranked the presidents. That was/is a mighty fine ranking for a farm boy from Missouri. who did not get to go to col-lege but who never forgot his mother’s admonition, “Be a good boy, Harry.” Truman’s mother: ‘Be a good boy, Harry’ Harry S.

She tol-erated it well and could enjoy the wonderful Easter meal Lorene Markland prepared for Faye’s family, my family, the Doug Markland family, and our Methodist minister. Faye and I grew up with the Markland boys in school and church and lived within walking distance. Charles and Lo-rene live on the same property he grew up on, and Faye and Nick live on the farm we lived on in Advance.Faye and I visited Judy Howard at Cadence and got to see her daughter Kim, who was there. Judy was happy to have us visit and told Faye she had been concerned about her health issues. She is satisfied with her private room, personal belongings and windows with a view. Judy likes the staff, and they feel the same way. She has a positive outlook and always tries to help the other residents but is careful to keep her door locked so people must knock. Judy told us about many activities she enjoys there. It is always hard to say goodbye to her, and I keep her in my prayers. I spoke with Travisene Carter Boger, whose older brother Jimmy just survived COVID, and whose younger brother Larry is home recovering while his wife has been hospitalized and is seriously ill.Vance Hartley and his family are remodeling the Lip-pert house, where he spent much of his childhood. The transformation is impressive, and much of the interior and the roof are yet to be done. They are splitting their time between Advance and their home in Tennessee. The home beside them is also transforming. Lower Advance looks good.My daughter and her twins were here on her birthday, but we really did not get to celebrate it here and will when we return home. I spent time with Kendra and visited Bob and Betty Potts, who are dealing with some signifi-cant plumbing and clean-up issues. Betty is a caretaker, maintains the house and yard, and keeps many medical appointments due to Bob’s and her health. Bob is a proud ninety-four.I missed seeing many friends in that area and hope to catch up on my next visit. I spent a day giving Vance Hartley a tour of several small towns in the foothills and Hanging Rock Park. I enjoyed the time with Faye and her family, made our RWG meeting, and had a pleasant drive back home.

Neighborhoods around the downtown area have lots of late 19th and early 20th century homes. The colorful downtown area has plenty of interesting and ac-tive stores with most store-fronts in use. Just across the street from the historic courthouse is a large movie theatre.Morganton’s Sam Ervin, U.S. Senator from 1954-74, was notable for the Water-gate hearings and has his own statue next to the old courthouse and across from the modern one. Situated on top of the highest knoll in town, the old courthouse offers fantastic views of the surrounding foothills.I found a “toasted and rolled” ice cream shop, though not open in the morning. New to me, this ice cream has a frozen base that can be rolled out in sheets and rerolled for serv-ing. Can’t wait to try it.•My next stop was New-land, county seat of Avery County. It’s small but seems to have some of everything. Earlier called “Old Fields of Toe,” the town was re-named Newland after Lt. Gov. William C. Newland in 1911. The courthouse and jail were built in 1913. The courthouse also houses a correctional facility. While the courthouse is still in use, the old jail next door is now a museum.The depot of the East Tennessee and Western North Carolina Railroad opened in 1914 and is still there along with a restored caboose, even though the railroad discontinued opera-tions in 1940.•A pleasant mountain drive took me to Bakers-ville, county seat of Mitch-ell County. On a day of small towns, this was the smallest but also likely the most interesting. Started in the 1850s, the town is named after Revo-lutionary soldier David Baker. His renovated home still stands and is owned by a part of author John Grish-am’s family. Famous for its long running annual Rho-dodendron Festival, I had visited Bakersville several times in the 1990s to run the accompanying 10K race. Nearby on Roan Mountain is the largest rhododendron natural garden in the world with 600 acres. The festival, now in its 76th year, is June 16-18.Cane Creek runs through the town and its banks form Freeze ... Sharon Rowland and Morgan Bell are proud of and eager to show off their hometown - Bakersville. - Photos by David Freeze a nice park where one trout fisherman was flyfishing. In 1901, the little creek over-flowed in what was called the “May Flood,” washing most of the town away.Many of the small stores sell local mountain crafts inspired by the nearby Pen-land School of Crafts, which was a great story in itself. Penland offers spring, sum-mer and fall workshops in craft disciplines that include weaving and dyeing, bead work, glassblowing, pot-tery, paper making, metal-working and woodwork-ing. It also offers fine arts subjects, such as printmak-ing, painting and photogra-phy. Workshops are taught by visiting American and international artists and professors, a tradition that started in 1929. Academic degrees are not awarded by Penland, but students can receive college credit through Western Carolina University. There are about 1,200 people who study at Penland each year in 50 rustic buildings on 400 acres. Many of the students remain in the area, making more artists per capita than almost anywhere in the world. The 1907 Mitchell Coun-ty Courthouse dominates the downtown. I tried the visitor center a couple of times and found no one, so I asked at the Just Local Market. Megan Bell sold me some great cookies and took me to Sharon Rowland across the street at Bowditch Antiques and Collectibles. Sharon did her student teaching at East Rowan High School before chang-ing professions and joining the Agricultural Extension Service. She took me back to the visitor center where I learned the real scoop about the town. “We’ve got a great little town and we just have to promote it.”As I headed south toward Marion, county seat of Mc-Dowell County, I reflected on how much those ladies loved Bakersville and how special they made my visit. •Marion, founded in 1844, was named for famous Revolutionary War General Francis Marion, the elusive Swamp Fox. As the self-designated Salisbury Post Bigfoot expert, I was able to cover the first ever Bigfoot festival in Marion a few years ago. This year’s festi-val is just ahead on May 20, followed by the Livermush Festival on June 3. Former Kansas and UNC basketball coach Roy Wil-liams was born in Marion and his Carolina friends erected a historical marker in his honor. Marion’s slogan, “Where Main Street Meets the Mountains” fits because lots of excellent mountain views surround the down-town. A huge fire in 1894 gutted Main Street, destroy-ing most businesses and homes. With no central wa-ter supply, citizens fought the fire unsuccessfully with a bucket brigade. A few brick buildings survived with damage, yet a vibrant downtown now exists. I found gas at a reason-able price and headed home after another productive day. I drove 247 miles and covered 6.3 more on foot. That’s 25 county seats vis-ited and 75 more to go. I’ll be back with more soon.Editor’s note: David Freeze is a runner, running coach and long-distance cyclist from China Grove in Rowan County.

DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, April 20, 2023 - 5 A Lexington man was taken into custody Wednes-day, accused of transporting some two kilos of metham-phetamine.Roberto Delgado, 22, was charged with traffick-ing amphetamine after he was stopped for a traffic violation by a Davie Sher-iff’s deputy, reported Chief Deputy Brian Jacobs.Officers had probable cause to search the vehicle, Jacobs said, when they found the meth and a loaded semi-automatic shotgun.Jacobs estimated the street value of the meth to be $35,000. By Elisabeth StrillacciThe Salisbury Post An Advance man who turned out to be a fugi-tive and who was arrested Wednesday on a litany of charges can now add iden-tity theft to the list, for using his own brother’s name. According to Spencer Police Chief Michael File, Luther Alan Stanley gave police his brother’s name of Robert Douglas Stanley when he was initially arrest-ed. He was correctly identi-fied after fingerprints and tattoo information was re-searched, and it is likely he gave a false name because he was a fugitive from jus-tice, having escaped from Davidson County sheriff’s deputies in March. On Thursday morning, Stanley was served with the Davidson County war-rant and Spencer Detective T.C. Honeycutt, who made the initial arrest, added an additional charge of felony identity theft for using his brother’s name. Luther Stanley was ini-tially arrested Wednesday after a shoplifting attempt at Food Lion. When police ar-rived at the store, they were told Stanley had fled on foot after trying to steal more than $250 in groceries. He was arrested within 15 minutes.

Central Univer-sity and later transferred to Winston-Salem State Uni-versity. Katera was the recipient of the Davie County Train-ing School - Central Davie High School Reunion and Bill Foster scholarships. Sheearned her bachelor’s degree and later enrolled in Walden University where she graduated with her mas-ter’s in healthcare adminis-tration.“My scholarship positive-ly impacted my journey by lifting a portion of my finan-cial burden associated with furthering my education,” she said.Since graduation, Katera has given back to her com-munity in many ways. She has been involved in Big Brothers Big Sisters, volun-teered as a youth basketball coach for Upward Basket-ball, and was the keynote speaker for the NAACP Black History Program. “In the future I hope to get more involved with commu-nity outreach programs and non-for-profit organizations to give back to the commu-nity,” she said.Katera is using her educa-tion and service as a Patient Access Supervisor at The Children's Hospital of the King’s Daughters in Nor-folk, Va. She was led there after obtaining her master’s. With a heart for healthcare and children, she couldn’t let the opportunity pass. She also welcomed her daughter, Kaydence Gaith-er, in July of 2020 with her fiancé, Vic Gaither. When I asked Katera what advice she could give to ris-ing youth in our community, she said: “Walk your own path and trust your own journey - it’s easy to get distracted and compare one-self to others’ success and failures and may cause you to feel behind so to speak. It’s important to always re-member that their journey Featured Davie Community Foundation scholars Will Jones (above); and at left, Katera Cockerham, shown with her son, Kaydence Gaither and fi- ance Vic Gaither. Scholars: Follow your own path is theirs and yours is yours. Trust your own journey.”•Science opportunities have certainly played a big role in Will Jone’s life while attending Davie County High School and beyond. Will was the recipient of the Davie Community Scholar-ship in 2011. “The scholarship from Davie Community Founda-tion was a great head start and allowed me to purchase textbooks for my introduc-tory classes, which I still use and are on shelves in my of-fice,” he said.Will graduated with hon-ors with a degree in chem-istry from Wake Forest University in 2014. He later attended graduate school at the University of Florida and researched for his Ph.D. in analytical chemistry, graduating in 2019. After graduation he start-ed his postdoc assignment. “Postdocs in chemistry are where you continue to perform research in your field of expertise before taking on a permanent job. I had the privilege of being a postdoc in two laborato-ries. I was a postdoc twice at Wake Forest (briefly after leaving UF and again for a few months before I started the job that I have now). The majority of my postdoc re-search was for the U.S. De-partment of Energy (DOE) at Savannah River National Laboratory (SRNL), in Aiken, S.C. Last August (2022) I started my career as an assistant professor of analytical chemistry in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of North Florida (in Jacksonville)” said Will. “It’s very rewarding to be on the other side of the college experience by im-pacting student’s lives in the ways that my profes-sors impacted my life just a few short years ago. I’m wrapping up my first aca-demic year as a professor in the beginning of May, and both my students and I have learned a lot.” His advice to rising se-niors and juniors? “My biggest piece of ad-vice is to make sure to take some time for yourself. High school and college - when you get there - may seem like the most impor-tant things in life, but you have to take some time on your own and be able to re-lax and unwind. It is impor-tant to work hard of course, but you need to be able to pick and choose your most important things to focus on, which won’t be possible if you overexert yourself and never take breaks. “Another piece of advice is to take at least one or two classes that you think at first you won’t enjoy. Some of my favorite classes that I took at Wake Forest I only took initially because they were required classes out-side of my major. Learning from many fields exposes you to things that you may not realize you actually en-joy.” Will married his wife, Autumn, in January 2022. They have three dogs and bought their first home in August. They are enjoying life in Jacksonville and hope to pursue their first back-yard garden this upcoming Summer.

Bandy earns State Farm award tion received this recogni-tion.Bandy has been with State Farm since 2001 and is in his 22nd year as an agent. The Bandy Agency has received local, regional and national recognition over the years. “Before joining State Farm, I was searching for a fulfilling career to become a respected business profes-sional, helping people in meaningful ways,” he said. “Being a State Farm agent is a worthy challenge and our work to serve our custom-ers, our community and be-yond has many years to go.” The agency has qualified for the Chairman’s Circle award in 2004, 2008, 2012 and 2022.When asked what he at-tributes to receiving this award, Bandy replied: “Of course, the conscientious efforts of our team and the support of our commu-nity and customers are re-sponsible for our success. Helping others prepare for the unexpected is what we do,and staying involved in our community also helps us reach our goals. This award wouldn’t be possible without the exceptional ef-forts of the entire team that includes Beverly Galyean, Stacey Clous, and Kati Shoaf. “Also, my wife Gina Bandy has taught at Shady Grove Elementary for many years. Our children Caroline, Landon, and Ava Bandy were raised and very active here in Davie County.

FURTHER INFORMATION: To obtain copies of the Environmental As-sessment (EA) and FONSI, or for further information, contact: Lisa Talley at 919-873-2068 or lisa.talley@usda.gov. The EA and FONSI are also available for public review at RBS Office, 4405 Bland Road, Suite 260, Raleigh, NC.. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The proposed project consists of construct a new, approximately 500,000-square-foot speculative warehouse on an approximately 37.2-acre tract of undeveloped land north of Interstate Drive in Mocksville, Davie County, North Carolina This project will involve the dis-turbance of approximately 27 acres. Alternatives considered by the RBS and Davie Industrial Center include: No action. The alternative is discussed in the Davie Industrial Center EA. The RBS has reviewed and approved the EA for the proposed project. The availability of the EA for public review was announced via notice in the following newspaper (s): Davie County Enterprise Record on April 6, 2023 and April 13, 2023. A 14-day comment period was announced in the newspa-per notices. The EA was also available for public review at the USDA Rural Development office or electronically upon request. There were no comments received. Based on its EA, commitments made by Davie Industrial Center, and public comments received, RBS has concluded that the project would have no significant impact (or no impacts) to water quality, wetlands, floodplains, land use, aesthetics, transportation, or human health and safety. The proposed project will have no adverse effect on resources listed or eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. The Agency has also concluded that the proposed project is not likely to affect federally listed threatened and endangered species or designated critical habitat thereof. The proposed project would not disproportionately affect minority and/or low-income populations. No other potential significant impacts resulting from the proposed project have been identified. Therefore, RBS has determined that this FONSI fulfills its obligations under the National Environmental Policy Act, as amended (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), the Council on Environmental Quality Regulations (40 CFR §§ 1500-1508), and USDA Rural Development’s Environmental Policies and Procedures (7 CFR Part 1970) for its action related to the project.

DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, April 27, 2023 - 9 Basil Gaither was born about 1751 in Anne Arundel County, Md., and was named a first lieutenant in Capt. Briscoe’s company of the 16th Battalion of Militia on Aug. 30, 1777.He took the fidelity oath - pleding allegiance to Mary-land rather than the British - in 1778.Basil and his brother, Burgess, may have been the first of their family to settle in North Carolina, traveling to this region in 1780. Burgess stayed in the part now known as Iredell, and Basil migrated east to what is now Davie. They were both active in the Revolutionary Militia. Isaac Jones was born on Feb. 1, 1756 in Prince George County, Md., and served in the Revolutionary War in Anne Arundel County, Md.Her served in the Maryland Continental Line, and in the Anne Arundel County Militia.In 1785, he purchased 320 acres on both sides of Bear Creek near Mocksville adjoining the Boone tract, property which he sold to his father-in-law, Basil Gaither, in 1796.He was married to Ellen Gaither in 1787.He lived in Anne Arundel County between 1773, pos-sibly earlier, to 1786. Isaac Jones purchased 320 acres on both sides of Bear Creek near Mocksville in 1785. In 1789, he obtained 150 acres along Hunting Creek, and in 17985 received two North Carolina Land Grants, one containing 574 acres on Dutchmans Creek and the other containing 500acres on Bear Creek called “The Range.”He served as Rowan County sheriff starting in 1791, served in the Home Guard, and received the title of “Ma-jor” after the Revolutionary War.He died in January, 1801 at age 45. His children were: Lt. Thomas C. Jones, Abraham R Jones, Isaac D. Jones, Margaret Watkins (Jones) Moore, Basil Gaither Jones, Mary C. Jones and Dr. Walter Gaither Jones. Continued From Page 1“Grave markings such as this is a great way to bring the community together for a celebration,” said the Rev. Terri Engle, DAR second vice regent. “We’re hoping this will generate enough interest in the community to form some type of historic designation for this place.”She said three other Revolutionary War Patriots are also buried at Joppa.The effort is part of the national DAV’s push to have events prior to the 250th anniversary of the Revolutionary War. More grave markings will be held in coming months at other North Carolina cemeteries.Joppa was picked to be the first mainly because of the historic significance of the cemetery, Engle said.“This is a tangible way to honor and to connect with our Revolutionary War ancestors,” said Judy Dit-more, DAV chapter regent.Engle thanked those ancestors in prayer for their “patriotism and devotion to liberty and justice.”Robert Crum, SAR chapter president, gave a history of Joppa Cemetery, which started off as a cem-etery for a church meeting place that later became First Presbyterian Church of Mocksville. It was called Burying Ground Ridge in the early 1750s, and contains the graves of some of the earliest settlers to this region. A meeting house for services was there possibly as early as 1765; it moved to town as First Presbyte-rian in 1834.Joppa, Crum said, is Biblical and means “beauti-ful.” The cemetery not only includes the Boones and five Revolutionary War Patriots, but seven who fought for their cause in the Civil War.The ceremony included a gun salute, with replica muzzleloaders, music by three members of the Winston-Salem Symphony, a welcome from Mocksville Mayor Will Marklin, laying of wreaths at the markers, reciting of the “Ameri-can Creed, and plenty of socializing, photographs and discussions among the dozens of descendants who attended. In 1785, Basil Gaither was granted 500 acres along Eli-sha Creek near Mocksville. He was a justice for the Rowan court, served in the House and Senate for North Carolina, and helped pass a bill that formed Iredell County.He was among the leaders in the state who voted for ratification of the Constitution.His seven children were: Ellen (Nelly), 1769; Walter, 1772; Nicholas, 1773; Basil Jr., 1774; Gassaway, 1780; Nathan, 1788; and Betsy, 1790.

The couple started that park, now open to the public with walking trails adjacent to Colin Creek Golf Club, 2251 US 64 E.“We want to invite ev-eryone in the community to join us for the walk (10 a.m.-noon).”There is no registration or fee, although donations will be accepted for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, which supports research and provides resources to MS patients and their families.Edwards was training for triathalons in the spring of 2013, when he and Dr. Gary Prillaman ran every morn- MS ... As a part of Operation Pulse Life, the Civil Air Pa-trol Sugar Valley Squadron will sponsor a blood dona-tion event on May 6.As of April 1, the Civil Air Patrol’s Operation Pulse Lift (OPL) has raised nearly 20,500 units of blood correlating, according to the American Red Cross (ARC), with more than 60,000 lives saved. “You can be a part of this excellent response to the ongoing and serious need for blood donations,” said Lt. Col. Stephen Leighton, the squadron’s health ser-vices officer. Located at Sugar Valley Airport, the squadron mem-bers participate in all lev-els within Civil Air Patrol (CAP) from the local to the national level.On 17 March 2020, at the urging of the U.S. Surgeon Allegacy Federal Credit Union celebrated the ribbon cutting and relocation of its Mocksville financial center on April 12.Allegacy’s Mocksville fi-nancial center moved from 256 Hospital Road to 822 Valley Road on March 27. The credit union chose the new space to provide cur-rent and potential members easier access to Allegacy’s financial resources in a more central location. The new financial cen-ter includes upgrades and provides a new drive-thru ing while on a mission trip to Honduras.“Training was go-ing great, but after com-ing home, I began to tire much more easily. Within three weeks, I could hardly walk.”He was diagnosed with MS.He started treatment im-mediately, and most symp-toms began improving within a few weeks.“Although I have never been able to return to run-ning - bicycling and swim-ming have been my activi-ties of choice.”He and Beth even climbed Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania in 2014. It was a slow climb, as he described it, but he made it to the top.“Since that time, I have had several relatively mild relapses and my MS has progressed slowly as I have aged. Since walking long distances has become harder, I occasionally use a cane.”He can still ride a bicycle, and still participates in the Tour to Tanglewood, raising money for MS patients. Sponsors have already made Saturday’s walk a success, so he just wants to see more local residents outside and walking or run-ning, enjoying the park, which includes paths along the lake.“We hope to see you there,” he said.Multiple Sclerosis is a disease that can damage nerves in the brain, spinal cord and eyes, and more than 1 million in the United States live with MS.Symptoms can be mild or disabling, and vary among those with the disease.“The exact cause of MS is not known,” Edwards said. “However, something triggers a response from the immune system which results in damage to the myelin that surrounds the nerves. Some specialists de- scribe the damage as similar to an electric wire with its insulation removed.”Treatments vary from pa-tient to patient, he said, but thanks to research funded by NMSS, there have been major advances. Beth and Joel Edwards hope residents will turn out for a walk to benefit MS patients Saturday from 10 a.m.-noon at The Park at Lake Louise, off US 64 east of Mocksville.

General, OPL mobilized to support CAP’s COVID-19 response, because the na-tion had lost 80% of its do-nor sites due to precaution-ary COVID closures. The first Blood Donation Center (BDC) was opera-tional 15 April 2020. Dur-ing the initial nine-month surge response of 2020, CAP hosted 42 temporary BDCs at seven sites. With other donations from na-tion-wide members, OPL supported the collection of 1,530 blood units: be-coming one of the largest consistent temporary blood donation programs in the nation. This resulted in two ARC Outstanding Service recog-nitions from the President/CEO of the American Red Cross (ARC), the status of “Premier Blood Partner”, and the Ironman Award for its nationwide blood sup-port efforts.The North Carolina Wing of Civil Air Patrol has joined in this nationwide effort and will hold its first blood donation drive on May 6 at Sugar Valley Air-port, 249 Gilbert Road in Mocksville.

If the night involves join-ing delightful folks to play card games – I’m ready to sign up. Throw into the mix a few vintage touches, like setting a gorgeous table using yourmother’s finest porcelain, and you’ve touched my heart.The once-a-month card night was hosted by Mike Hen-drix at his residence in Bermuda Run. The home reflected elements of yesteryear, informing me that an old soul lived there – sterling silver polished to a reflective patina, fine crystal that sparkled in light, and a romantic aura cast from candles’ soft glow that gave the place an exquisite ambiance. I felt as if the red car-pet had been rolled out and royal-ty was coming for dinner. Mike’s home told a story without saying a word. The joy, peace, and love that abided there were palpable. With precious heirlooms passed down such as old hand-sewn quilts and an antique wood organ, I could feel Mike’s love for fam-ily. I loved him for that. Let me just say, hands down, the hot dinner served was divine – and the friendly hospitality was every bit as warm. Rotating homes each month for 5 years, club members were a good mix of folks who have gelled well over the years. When the club began, there were 12 members – all who attended the same church, First United Methodist in Mocksville. Mike’s been a member of the church since he was 4 years old and was church organist for 41 years. A delicious menu was planned. The hosts provided a meaty entrée while each couple brought savory side dishes that rounded out the meal. Then came time for a fun card game – Shoes and Socks. But it was the loving circle of friends that my Spirit recognized. Truly, there’s some-thing to be said about the history we share with long-time friends. Jesus is a model for friendship – and also a source of friendship for us. So first, let’s take a look at how Jesus loved and treat-ed his friends – Martha, Mary, and Lazarus. Jesus often dropped by their home to visit those with whom He shared close bonds. Living in Bethany, the family loved Jesus and were hospitable – Jesus was welcomed into their home, many times, and the friends shared meals together. In the Gospel of John 11:5, we read of Jesus’ love for these three close friends. “Jesus loved Martha and her sis-ter and Lazarus.” (NIV) While Jesus was beloved by many, He had a small yet intimate group of best friends. Like Je-sus, we have to use discernment – and choose wisely those who will be part of our inner circle. The Bible tells us in Proverbs 18:24, “A man of many companions may come to Club members from left to right, Brenda and Tom Graham, Jerrie Cozart, Claudia Hunter, and Nan Neal serve themselves from the delicious buffet. An elegant, formal dining room table was set using his mother’s fine china with a stunning red tablecloth. ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.” One does not need a multitude of friends – just a few close ones who are generous, supportive, honest, and trustwor-thy. By the same token, we need to be faithful to those with whom we are closest. Recently I heard some of the most honorable words spoken about another. Regarding a friend, the man shared, “You would be hard-pressed to find any-one who has a negative thing to say about him.” We should all have such kind and respectful words about the ones we love – and for that matter, everyone. A friend honors and upholds one’s best qualities and is not quick to judge or find fault. Proverbs 16:28 reads, “A perverse man stirs up dissension, and a gossip separates close friends.” (NIV) In 1 John 3: 21-24, John writes of the way Christians should love one another – as brothers and sisters living in Christ, as He lives in us. A man who fellowships with God can be more of a friend, than one’s own brother. I believe it’s worth asking ourselves, what kind of friend am I?Jesus is also a wonderful source of friendship for every one of us. I’m reminded of the words to this beautiful old hymn written as a poem in 1855 by a preacher and found in my Methodist hymnal – and one I’m sure Mike Hendrix lives by and has played many times on the organ. “What a friend we have in Jesus, all our sins and griefs to bear! What a privilege to carry everything to God in prayer! O what peace we often forfeit, O what needless pain we bear, all because we do not carry everything to God in prayer.” CREAMY BAKED CHICKEN BREASTS4 whole skinless, boneless chicken breasts, halved8 slices Swiss cheese10 ¾-oz. undiluted cream of chicken or celery soup¼ cup dry white wine1 cup crushed, herbed stuffing mix¼ cup melted, salted butterArrange chicken in a 9 x 13 baking dish.

Good friends, good food and good fun DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, April 27, 2023 - B1Sports By Brian PittsEnterprise Record Weird things happen in sports. In his first six starts of the sea-son, Braeden Rodgers of Davie’s varsity baseball team had been nothing short of breathtaking. After a complete game against West Forsyth on April 13, the senior lefthander was 5-0 with an 0.84 ERA. He had allowed six runs (four earned) in 33 innings. He wasn’t beating chumps; he threw gems against East Forsyth (5-1 win), Reagan (2-1) and West Forsyth (12-2). That’s East’s lone loss in 21 games. But like we said, weird things By Brian PittsDavie Enterprise Record Davie’s varsity softball team bashed three home runs as it pounded Central Davidson in a nonconference game. Two days later, though, its bats were subdued by West Forsyth’s Cate Etchason, who edged Riley Potts in a pitchers’ duel in front of a large crowd at Davie. The 2-1 loss to the Titans left the War Eagles a distant third in the Central Piedmont Conference. At the end of last week, East Forsyth was 12-0, West 12-1 and Davie 7-4. Reagan is right behind Davie at 7-5. But there’s another way to look at the War Eagles. Look at how close they are to contending for first. They suffered a pair of one-run losses to East - the scores were 6-5 and 5-4 - before the narrow setback to West. “We hit the ball hard,” coach Nathan Handy said. “It was the same old story - we just didn’t find the gaps. We couldn’t get a timely hit.”Davie 13, CD 6In the first two innings against visiting Central Davidson on April 19, the War Eagles played home-run derby. The fourth batter in the bottom of the first, Sydney Dirks, cranked a homer that extended her career record to 21. Two batters later, Leah Grimes went deep. It was the first homer of the season for the Mars Hill signee. “She’s just been under the ball just a little too much and has had some popouts,” Handy said. “Hopefully that’s going to spark her and get her going, because in the conference tournament and playoffs, we definitely need her By Brian PittsEnterprise Record Tristan Wyatt made a name for himself in Rowan County as a fearless 5-7, 150-pound catcher. Everyone called him “Shaggy” because of the long hairstyle he sported as a player - and now he’ll try to make a name for himself in Mocksville. Wyatt is the new Senior Legion coach for the local American Le-gion program. Wyatt, 25, is an affable, easygo-ing young man. He isn’t a scream-er. But don’t let his fun-loving demeanor fool you. As a player, he was as tough as a road paver and he has a pure hunger for the game and he’ll bring considerable passion to Rich Park. “He grabbed that uniform in the locker room and said: ‘This is what you play for.’ He pointed to the sleeve and said: ‘You play for each other and we play for the community and that’s what it’s about,’” said Charles Kurfees, who was the Mocksville Senior Legion coach for 12 years before stepping down in February. Davie falls to Oak Grove, remains in second happen in sports. Rodgers didn’t have his stuff in a home noncon-ference game against Oak Grove on April 19, and Davie suffered a 9-2 thrashing to a team that came in with a 7-9 record. Go figure. “It was just one of those situa-tions where it didn’t work out for him,” coach Joey Anderson said after Rodgers failed to get an out and left after six batters and 29 pitches. “He just couldn’t get his command. No matter what he was trying to do ... he was trying to fix it. Him and (assistant coach Joey) Cress were talking. Joey went out there and talked to him a couple of times. He’s been lights out all year. He was pretty upset about giving up (six runs), but it happens. You just have to take your lumps and hope it doesn’t affect us down the road.”Despite their modest record, the Grizzlies don’t lack talent. They have logged wins over West Forsyth (5-1) and North Davidson (4-1), two teams that have defeated Davie. It was 7-0 in the top of the first before the War Eagles knew what hit them. A single was followed by two walks. A hit batter was followed by two more walks. Af-ter Anderson went to his bullpen, reliever Connor Berg was greeted with a double. The eight-hole bat-ter made the first out of the game. A single and a walk followed as Oak Grove erupted for seven. That was your ballgame on a night when Davie only came up with five hits, all singles. Oak Grove’s pitcher, junior righty Cale Walters, hurled six innings. His stuff was hardly electric - he walked four and only struck out two - but it was effective. Parker Simmons went 2 for 4. The guys with one hit were Coy James (1-3, walk), Drew Krause (1-2, walk) and Ty Miller (1-1, two steals). “(Walters) wasn’t anything special,” Anderson said. “He pretty much just threw fastballs and we hit balls right at them. He wasn’t throwing fast. He was just throwing the ball over (the plate), and sometimes he was effectively wild. I think we were pressing a bit, trying to make things happen quicker than we needed to. And we ran ourselves out of one inning.”Berg did a good job in his sev-enth relief stint. He scattered six hits in four innings, walked one and struck out five. Brady Mar-shall was solid over the last three innings. The one run off him was unearned. Notes: The Oak Grove game was reminiscent of a 10-0 noncon-ference loss to Mooresville, which Please See Falls - Page B4 Kurfees searched for his re-placement for several weeks. Wyatt was a secret just waiting to be discovered. Kurfees discovered him with help from Ronnie Raper, who helps run the Kannapolis Legion program. “(Raper) told me I’ve got a boy that might be interested in coach-ing. He loves it,” Kurfees said. Wyatt grew up in Landis and recently moved back from Con-way, S.C. “I told my wife (Sydney): ‘I really wish I could get back into coaching,’” Wyatt said. “I’ve been in Legion ball for a long time, so I was missing the game. Ronnie Raper called me up out of nowhere. He said: ‘There’s a Mocksville opening and I put your name out there.’ My wife said go ahead and do it.”Wyatt was a swimmer/baseball athlete in high school, graduating from South Rowan in 2016. He was as dedicated as they come to Legion ball. Between the junior and senior levels, he played Legion for six years, the last three for Kannapolis after the Southern Rowan program folded. He was a constant at catcher. Even though he never possessed great size, he was an absolute dog behind the plate. He attended college at Coastal Carolina and continued playing baseball as a four-year member on the club team. “I had opportunities to go play (college baseball), but I had to make a decision for myself,” Wy-att said. “Academics were more important, so I ended up going to Coastal. Being three hours away and being lonely, I had to find something. And club ball was there and it lit me up. It helped me make friends. Besides Legion ball, those were the best times of my life.”With a laugh, he added: “We had two big bowling balls that were starters (at catcher), and I came in and took over.”He graduated from Coastal Carolina in 2022 with a masters in business. During his college years, he picked up coaching experience. He was head coach of the Southern Rowan Junior Legion in 2018. In Senior Legion, he was an assistant under veteran Joe Hubbard at ‘Shaggy’ replaces Kurfees as Legion baseball coach Please See Shaggy - Page B4 West edges Davie in softball pitching duel bat.”Later in the first, leadoff batter Raelyn Lankford came up for the second time. She slapped an oppo-site-field, two-run triple to right as Davie got off to a roaring, 7-0 start.“We had a conversation about Raelyn focussing on her on-base percentage,” Handy said. “She’s a leader on this team. She had a great night not only offensively, but she had six or seven plays at third base. There were a lot of hard-hit balls at her, and she was on fire. She’s just as solid as she can be (at third). She brings energy and fire.”With Summer Simpson aboard in the second, Hanna Steinour delivered Davie’s third tater in a span of 14 batters. It was the second homer of the season for a sophomore who has exceeded expectations. “Our offense was clicking,” Handy said. “We’ve been hard on them at times, but it’s only because we know what they can do. Hanna has been on fire. I could not be more proud of the 180 that she’s done since the beginning of last season as a jayvee player to now.”Lankford (2-3, walk), Jaydn Davis (2-3), Dirks (2-4) and Grimes (2-4) banged out two hits each as Davie dropped Central to 7-10. After a slow start, Potts retired the side in order in the fifth, sixth and seventh, the sophomore fin-ishing with a one-hitter over four innings. Addie Hendrix worked three innings in the circle. Handy said one of the best developments of late has been Davie’s impressive strides in the outfield. “Jaydn did her job in left,” he said. “Carleigh Croom is always Please See Duel - Page B5 Senior Jaydon Holder is a pitcher only, but two blowout wins over Park- land gave coach Joey Anderson an opportu- nity to let Holder swing the bat a few times.

Cooper Drum (5-over 41), Colby Moore (41) and Walker Jones (44) contributed as the War Ea-gles placed second out of seven for the fifth straight time in CPC play. The team scores: Reyn-olds 162, Davie 163, Reagan 167, Mt. Tabor 173, West Forsyth 179, East Forsyth 185. In a nonconference match at Oak Valley on April 20, Beliveau fired an-other 37 as Davie (10-over 154) defeated Reynolds (155) and Reagan (166). Beliveau finished in a two-way tie for second over-all as he became the first War Eagle to shoot 1-over or better in three straight rounds since Wesley Sink did it in four straight in 2017. Moore (2-over 38), Drum (39) and Jones (40) helped Davie overtake the Demons, who lead the second-place War Eagles by 27 strokes in the CPC standings. During Sink’s torrid stretch in 2017, he shot even-par 36 at Wilshire, 3-under 33 at Maple Chase, even-par 34 at Bermuda Run West and 3-under 33 at Oak Valley. Senior Profile Davie soccer outshoots Reynolds; game ends in tie After losing 3-1 to Davie on March 15, which marked Davie’s first win over the Demons in seven years, the Reynolds coach used a dif-ferent strategy this time. He jammed people in the box and played not to lose. The tie left Davie (4-6-2 overall) 3-4-1 in the Central Piedmont Conference, while Reynolds (3-7-4) moved to 2-4-2 in the league. “They kind of parked the bus on us,” coach Corbin Kopetzky said. “(Reynolds’ coach) changed tactics on us. They crowded the box pretty heavy. They were putting eight girls in the box every time we came down the field. We opened up some opportunities. We outshot them and had more corner opportunities. Unfor-tunately, we didn’t have luck on our side.”Aside from the inability to crack the crowded box, the War Eagles gave Kop- etzky exactly what he had hoped for. “We dominated pretty much every aspect of the game,” he said. “We fed the ball pretty heavy through Lexi Kulis, and she made some outstanding plays to the corner. She had a few opportunities off of through balls. The score-board doesn’t reflect how well we played.”Midfielder Emily Garner and the back line of Jaden Sink, Riley Almond, Skylar Link and Kim Torres played superbly. “Emily is everywhere she needs to be,” he said. “She causes so many turn-overs in the middle. She is a field general.”Notes: Whenever Reyn-olds did manage to get a shot off, goalie Avery Yount (three saves) was there for Davie. ... Two days earlier, Davie and East Forsyth were tied 0-0 at halftime in Kern-ersville. East, though, broke through in the second half and beat Davie 3-0. East im-proved to 7-3-1 overall and 5-1 in the CPC. ... Davie’s JV lost 7-0 at East Forsyth and 4-0 at Reynolds. There were bright spots against Reynolds, including im-pressive strides from goalie Gracie Finley. “Much better team play than we showed against East,” coach Wil-liam Boswell said. “There was no score for over 18 minutes into the match. We came very close to shutting out Reynolds in the second half. I can’t thank Gracie enough for her work in goal. She continues to learn the position, showing improve-ment in every game. She always does something to impress me.”Beliveau shoots 37, 37, 37 Why wait until Thursday? Get the latest local news before your friends and neighbors.

OFFERING COUNSELING FOR Chronic Kidney Disease – High Blood Pressure – Diabetes Heart Disease – Gout – Kidney Stones Kathy Crotts, MS, RD Masters of Science in Nutrition from UNC-Greensboro DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, April 27, 2023 ‑ B3 My interactions with ar-madillos over 66 years have been limited to one occa-sion, about 10 years ago, when I was turkey hunting in the swamps of the Lit-tle Salkehatchie River in South Carolina’s Lowcoun-try. We had come out of the woods and were standing by the pickup trucks, plan-ning where to find a steak and baked potato for dinner when an armadillo stum-bled out of the woods.One of my companions quickly retrieved a pistol from his vehicle and gave it, quite literally, his best shot, but the little animal – understanding it was in danger – quickly retreated into the swamp.My companion spit dis-gustedly on the dirt and disparaged the armadillo as “possum on the half-shell.” He considered armadillos as quite the pests, “var-mint” being a word he also used.Blame climate change, global warming, whatever. The N.C. Wildlife Resourc-es Commission said that armadillos – nine-banded armadillos, to be specif-ic – are invading the Tar-heel State from the south, largely because of shorter periods of below-freezing weather the past several years.The commission wants anyone who sees an arma-dillo to report it by email-ing armadillo@ncwildlife.org, including a photo (if available), and details on when you saw the armadil-lo – date and time, location – in order that biologists can map the expansion of the armadillo into North Carolina. You can also par-ticipate in the NC Armadil-lo project at https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/nc-armadillo to track ob-servations across the state.Armadillos are members of the same family as ant- eaters and sloths. There are nine species of armadillos, but only the nine-band-ed armadillo lives in the Southeast. Native to Cen-tral America and South America, they were first recorded in Texas in 1849, crossed the Mississippi River in the early 1940s and appeared in western Tennessee in the 1980s, ac-cording to the commission.The first confirmed sighting in North Caroli-na was in 2007 in Macon County. The commission has since received 898 re-ports in 70 counties, the large majority coming from the extreme western moun-tains along the state’s bor-der with Georgia.They feed mostly on invertebrates, detecting grubs, insects and worms with their sense of smell. They will dig burrows, and a single armadillo may have up to a dozen burrows, which can result in some big-time property damage in areas where they have established a toehold. When foraging, they will dig holes 1 to 3 inches deep and 3 to 5 inches wide.Armadillos are not con-sidered a game species and can be hunted year-round.Turkey harvest upHunters in North Caroli-na are on pace to have one of the best spring turkey seasons ever, according to statistics from the N.C. Wildlife Resources Com-mission.Through the week-long youth season and the first nine days of the statewide open season, hunters have reported tagging 14,375 turkeys, which is about 700 better than the average har-vest over the past three sea-sons through the same date.The commission’s up-to-date harvest figures through this past Monday indicated that hunters have taken 12,888 long bearded gobblers and 1,487 jakes. The average over the past three seasons – the three highest harvests on record – is 11,594 longbeards and 2,049 jakes.Hunters in the big, southeastern agricultur-al counties are having the best seasons: Duplin County hunters have tak-en 496 birds through this past Monday, followed by Pender (433), Bladen (396), Sampson (373) and Brunswick (345).Hunters in northwest North Carolina, overall, ar-en’t keeping pace with the harvest over the past three seasons; most counties are showing slightly fewer birds taken, with the excep-tion of Stokes, Ashe, Wil-kes and Watauga counties. Hunters in Forsyth County have taken 67 birds (down from 77 at the same time last season), hunters in Davie County have taken 66 birds (down from 85), hunters in Rowan are at 168 (up from 162), in Stan-ly 161 (up from 139), in Anson 175 (up from 171), in Montgomery 123 (down from 149).The spring turkey sea-son runs through Saturday, May 6. The N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission is try- ing to track the expansion of nine-banded arma- dillos into the Tarheel State, asking anyone who has seen one to report the details to the agency. Armadillos are here; report any sightings Charleston Randall of the kid pitch softball Dragons was on fire playing defense at third base, get- ting three outs, including catching a popup. She also got an RBI at the plate to help her team. Charlestyn Lanning and Haze Dailey of the T-ball Blue Rocks are in their second sea- son playing together. In one game, Dailey was holding down pitcher and Lanning was playing first base. Between the two, they got four outs. In the third inning, the roles reversed and Lanning was playing second and Dailey was playing first - and they got two more outs. At the plate they didn’t do bad either, with both getting hits off the coach. Davie American Little League player spotlights Results for tennis, lacrosse, softball• Davie’s tennis team closed the regular season with two easy wins to nail down its 13th straight winning season. The War Eagles blanked visiting Parkland 9-0 on April 17. The winners in singles were Zach Hill, Hayden Key, Jackson Hepler, Grayson Busse, Barrett Taylor and Jonah Almond. All the scores were 6-0, 6-0. Winning in doubles were Burke Rosenbaum/Bryce Bailey (8-0), Sean Lane/Jack Williams (8-1) and Owen Tomlinson/Slade Keaton (8-0). “We work a lot on being better off the court than on, and today (Parkland’s coach) commented that even in easy victories my guys were very respectful of her kids,” coach Shane Nixon said. “That makes me so proud.”Two days later, it was the same story at Glenn. Williams (6-1, 6-0), Lane (6-0, 6-0), Busse (6-0, 6-0), Taylor (6-0, 6-0), Hill (forfeit) and Keaton (forfeit) recorded singles wins against a team that only has four players. In doubles, the scores were 8-0 for Rosenbaum/Bailey and Key/Hepler, with Tomlinson/Almond picking up a forfeit. “I’m really proud of how my guys played, how gracious they were and how much class they showed,” Nixon said. In regular-season play, Davie went 9-8 overall and 8-6 in the conference. The streak of winning seasons began in 2011 under Gordon McEachran, who coached through 2012. Collin Ferebee guided Davie in 2013 and Kathy Ferebee was the coach in 2014. Nixon took the reins in 2015 and has piloted Davie for nine years. • Davie girls lacrosse split two games last week, losing 16-8 at Northwest Guilford and routing Glenn 15-3 in Kernersville on April 20.

Last month, Tristan and Sydney moved to Kannap-olis. They are in the process of building a house. He works in Mooresville, “so it’s about 30 minutes to Rich Park,” he said. Everyone who knows him calls him Shaggy. It’s a nickname that has stuck for years. “A guy (Chandler Hub-bard) played for Northwest Cabarrus (High School),” he said. “We played tour-nament ball together and he looked at me one day and said, ‘You look like Shaggy from Scooby-Doo,’ and that has stuck with me since then. I think my head turns around a lot more for ‘Shag-gy’ than it does ‘Tristan.’”Wyatt has his work cut out. Mocksville hasn’t man- By Brian PittsEnterprise Record You couldn’t have pre-dicted this. On April 11, the sky was falling on the Davie JV baseball team. It was 2-9 with an eight-game skid. The War Eagles hit the reset button on April 12, and they won five straight games in a span of eight days. “They are starting to play harder, play as a team and starting to figure things out,” varsity coach Joey An-derson said. “The pitching has been more consistent.”Davie 11, Kann 10The first game of a dou-bleheader at Kannapolis on April 17 was not a work of art. Davie only managed four hits. There were eight errors (three by Davie), 15 walks (Davie drew eight) and seven hit batsmen be-tween the teams. But Davie came away with a narrow win in a game that lasted five innings. The War Eagles rolled up five runs in the top of the first inning. (The only hit was a Kason Stewart double as Davie got help from two walks, two HBPs and an error.) But every JV baseball on a roll with five straight wins time Davie seemed ready to knock Kannapolis out, the Wonders would fight back. Davie’s 7-1 lead was chopped to 7-6 in the sec-ond. In the third, Davie scored four runs with help from five walks. It had a seemingly safe 11-6 lead, but Kannapolis came roar-ing back in its last at-bat. But with the score 11-10 and runners at first and sec-ond, a groundball to short- stop Carson Queen finally ended the madness. Hunter Potts (1-1, three walks, double), Queen (1-2), Stewart (1-3, two RBIs) and Hunter Daywalt (1-2, walk) had the Davie hits. It used five pitchers. The most effective were Ricky Plow-man (1.1 innings, one hit, no runs) and closer Alexander Shinsky, who retired the only batter he faced to put the game away. “If we are running them out there, it’s because we see potential,” assistant coach Joey Cress said of the pitchers. “We have some that are physically talented, some with superior work ethic, some with an intense competitive spirit. We will continue to develop their skills as they mature, and hopefully a few of them will put it all together and take it with them to the next level.”Davie 15, Kann 0While Davie had to hold on in game one, the second game was a three-inning laugher. Nate Barr (2-2, four RBIs, double), Stewart (2-2, double) and Eli Webber (2-3, two RBIs, double) powered the offense as Da-vie scored at least three runs in each inning. Potts (1-1, walk), Queen (1-3) and Lar-son Stem (1-2, triple) had one hit each. Meanwhile, Clarke Stem cruised on the mound. He held the Wonders to two hits, walked none and ben-efited from an error-free defensive performance. He faced the minimum because catcher Potts threw out two runners. Davie 5, Oak Grove 3Davie’s winning streak reached five on April 19 as it knocked off an Oak Grove team that came in with a 10-4 record. The visiting Grizzlies scored three unearned runs in the first, but Davie scratched back. One of Day-walt’s team-high two hits plated Coston Colamarino in the second. Davie forced a tie in the fourth. With two outs, a Potts double made it 3-3. “I would have told you two years ago that Hunter was one of the best lefthand-ed (bats) I saw coming out of middle school,” Anderson said. “I was really interested in watching him grow. He’s a catcher, so you’ve got Drew (Krause of the varsity) and Hunter coming through at the same time. I think both of them do a real good job behind the plate, and Hunter has been swinging it well.”Davie (7-9 overall) gen-erated a decisive surge in the fifth. L. Stem singled. With one out, he scored on a hit by Colamarino. After Stewart singled, Colamarino scored on an error. “(Colamarino’s) kind of a surprise because he’s a beach volleyball guy, too,” Anderson said. “He travels on weekends. He showed up right before tryouts because he had a lot of volleyball go-ing on. I said: ‘If you make this team, are you going to be dedicated?’ He said: ‘Yes, sir.’ He’s been playing hard. Yeah, it’s been interesting to watch him grow a little bit.” After Daywalt walked one, struck out five and left after four with the score 3-3, C. Stem (two innings) and Shinsky (one inning) slammed the door. Shinsky fanned two of three batters in the seventh. “We spread the love (on the mound) because we have a lot of guys who need to get work,” Anderson said. “(Shinsky) came to us as a backup catcher for Potts. One day he asked if he could step on the mound, and Cress has been working with him on different things.”While Daywalt went 2-2, Davie got one hit from Potts (1-2, walk, double), L. Stem (1-3), Colamarino (1-2, walk), Stewart (1-3) and Webber (1-3). lowly Parkland 17-0 and 16-1 last week, the games totalling five and a half innings. James, Jackson Sink and Aubrey Heath slammed homers at Park-land on April 18, and Jaydon Holder legged out an inside-the-park homer at Davie on April 21. ... With one week left in the regular season, the War Eagles are still clinging to second in the crowded CPC standings. Entering the week, East Forsyth was 11-1, Davie 9-3 and Reagan and West Forsyth tied for third at 8-4. Glenn and Reynolds are tied for fifth at 6-6. Mt. Tabor and Parkland are both 0-12. ... The Mustangs fell to 0-14. They’ve lost every game by 15-plus runs. aged a winning season since 2012. It went 10-19 in 2022, which followed a 5-13 cam-paign in 2021. “I just hope we get kids to play,” Kurfees said. “That’s the main thing.”Wyatt is eager to get going. A registration/team meeting will be held Sunday at Mando Field at 6 p.m. “I want to bring some life back into the program,” he said. “I want a winning team. I’m willing to talk to anybody and everybody because we need recruits. It’s going to be fun.”Wyatt, who turned 25 in March, is the seventh head coach in Mocksville’s 41-year history. The first five were Ron Morgan (1982-84), Barry Whitlock (1985-88), Dale Ijames (1989-95), George Daywalt (1996-98) and Mike Lovelace (1999-2009). Kurfees took over in 2010.

Whether it’s Delaney Parsons in right or Carly Crouch, our outfield has improved so much in a short period of time. It was a problem early in the season.”WF 2, Davie 1After Simpson scored on a wild pitch in the bottom of the sixth to get Davie within one against visiting West Forsyth on April 21, Dirks tried to create a magical moment. She hammered a pitch down the line in left. It kept hooking. Instead of a game-tying homer, it wound up being a long strike. She would pop out. That summed up Da-vie’s luck against the CPC’s frontrunners so far this year. “Syd cranks one over the left-field wall,” Handy said. “Unfortunately, it was about three feet foul. It was fair for so long. It just kept going left. Sometimes luck is a factor, and we were on the wrong side of the foul pole tonight.”The Titans jumped on Davie in the third. After the first two batters went down on strikes, leadoff batter Sydney Horton blasted a homer. Then Abby Hunter doubled and scored on Ma-disen Barringer’s hit as West went ahead 2-0. West would only have two more baserunners the rest of the game. After stranding one run-ner in each of the first four innings, Davie (12-6-1 over-all) broke through in the sixth. Simpson rose to the occasion with a one-out tri-ple past a diving right field-er. With two outs, she came racing home on Etchason’s only wild pitch of the night. That led to Dirks’ long drive that kept hooking. Davie tried to rally in the seventh. With one out, Potts helped herself with a single. But Etchason retired the next two batters to secure West’s 17th win in 19 tries. Etchason has been a pain in Davie’s neck, walk-ing one in 14 innings over two meetings. The senior pitched a three-hitter despite only having one strikeout. Credit a terrific West de-fense that snared five liners on the night. Grimes lined out in the second. Davis and Simpson had hard outs in the third. Croom and Lankford hit the ball sharply for outs in the fifth. “Their center fielder (Hunter) is very quick,” Handy said. “She caught two balls that I thought were going to fall.”The outcome overshad-owed an outstanding effort by Potts, who walked one, struck out 11 and spun a five-hitter. She struck out multiple batters in five dif-ferent innings. “Riley pitched a great game,” Handy said. “She stepped up big. She kept us in the game because our offense was struggling. I think she outdueled the other pitcher.” Call 336.463.9518 to get started today! Or visit us online for more information at zirrus.com. SATISFACTION GUARANTEED Starting at /mo.

And then: “We played a really good game defensive-ly. We’re proud of them for the way they fought against a very good opponent. We didn’t beat ourselves; West Forsyth just beat us.”Notes: West’s 27th-year coach, Kevin Baity, has a career record of 506-185, and it looks like the Titans are going to keep winning for a while. “This group I have, they’re good and they’re young,” Baity told the Clemmons Courier. “We’ve got two seniors on the team. The majority of them are freshmen and sophomores.” ... Davie’s three hits came from Simp-son (1-3), Grimes (1-3) and Potts (1-3). ... Youth Night was a tremendous success. “They loved getting au-tographs from our girls,” Handy said. “Even though we didn’t get the win, every single one of those girls had a blast.” ... In the first of three games last week, the War Eagles rolled to a 13-0 runaway win at Mt. Tabor on April 18. It was a CPC game that mirrored the first meeting (15-0). Davie’s JV softball team has won five of six, includ-ing an 11-8 victory in a home nonconference game against Central Davidson on April 19. Alexis Frogge got a big hit and Davie (7-4 overall) prevailed in a back-and-forth game. “It wasn’t a pretty win,” coach Mike Foster said. “We’ve got a lot of injuries.

Davie’s mid-dle schools have a new athletic home as Ellis, North Davie and South Davie will compete in a 12-team conference starting next fall. Davie County Schools released a statement last week: “We are pleased to officially announce that Davie County’s three mid-dle schools will be joining an athletic conference with Rowan County Schools and Mooresville City Schools beginning in the 2023-24 school year. We will be add-ed to the current conference, which consists of Rowan County middle schools Chi-na Grove, Corriher-Lipe, Erwin, Knox, North Rowan, Southeast and West Rowan; and Mooresville and Selma Burke middle schools in Mooresville City Schools. This will create a 12-team conference divided into two divisions.”“We meet (this) week with the entire conference to solidify bylaws and schedules,” Davie County Athletic Director Anthony Davis said. One of the proposed di-visions puts North Davie, South Davie, Ellis, Moores-ville, Selma Burke and West Rowan together. The other division would consist of China Grove, Corriher-Lipe, Erwin, Knox, North Rowan and Southeast. “Joining an all-public school conference will offer more regulatory consistency as well as more appropriate competition,” the statement continued. “Most of our sports seasons will remain unchanged, but since we have been invited into this already-established con-ference, some sports may play at a different time of the year.”The fall season will in-clude football, girls/boys tennis, softball and cross country. The winter sports will be JV girls basketball, JV boys basketball, varsity girls basketball, varsity boys basketball and wrestling. The spring sports will be girls soccer, boys soccer, baseball, JV volleyball, var-sity volleyball, girls track and boys track. “The conference does not offer golf,” it said in the statement. “However, there are several teams in the conference that have golf teams, so we will still have the opportunity to field teams for golf.” (336) 909-0609 Call BJ Arning Today •Fully Insured •Tree Work & Tree Removal •Trimming & Thinning •Free Estimates •Stump Grinding •Bucket Truck •Formerly Seaford’s Davie middle schools joining 12-team league Raney Phelps winds up.

The COVID pandemic had its way in the past and not only were the members of CHA and volun-teers happy to see the students again, the students themselves were so excited to be at the Riv-erPark at Cooleemee Falls (Bull Hole).All fourth grade Cooleemee Elementary classes arrived two buses at a time to learn about economics of the 1700s (Native Americans), 1800s (southern back country) and 1900 (mill village) eras in Cooleemee. Traveling leaders of the groups were John Chandler, Joey Shore and Johnathon Vizard.The first stop was located be-side the South Yadkin River where the waters were flowing over the dam and moving down to the rocks where turtles were sitting near by. Johnny Brown and Becca Har-ris Hilton stood behind a table full of artifacts. Deer hides, skulls, arrowheads, turtle shells, arrows, fish and more were on display. The students had hands-on expe-riences looking, touching and ask-ing questions. They learned that the natives used animal bones, fish bones and rocks for tools and even used an empty turtle shell for bowls and drinking water. It brought wide eyes from many.Next stop was Sandra Ferrell as Mr. Trexler who work in the grist meal. Each student took a handful of corn, gave it to Mr. Trexler and in turn was handed a small piece of cloth that contained cornmeal. Mr. Trexler was entitled to keep 15% of total amount of corn brought in. When the large cornmeal and flour sacks were empty the cloth was used for making dresses and other useful items for the family.The concept of bartering was played out with each student hav-ing a brown paper bag with two apples or some with peanuts. The “Nutters” and “Applegate’s” bar-tered with each other and learned the value of neighbors helping neighbors so they all could sur-vive. Building their homes required At left, Cooleemee Elemen- tary fourth graders clamor to view arrowheads and other artifacts. Above, vol- unteer Donna Henderson welcomes students to the Cooleemee Historical Asso- ciation event. - Photos by KC Smith Students learn historical economic lessons cutting down trees and with help from family and friends, they had a place to call home. As students walked through the woods to a beautiful opening they headed to the 1900s, where “Mama” was waiting.Donna Henderson portraying “Mama” explained that children their age and younger had to go to work in the mill because her husband died. When work day was over at the mill, girls were al-lowed to play with their dolls and the boys got to go swimming at the Bull Hole. Each student received an en-velope which contained their paycheck for working in the mill. When the girls compared their pay with the boys they were very unhappy. Girls received 55 cents and boys received $2.55. “Mama” announced they had to give her all their money accept 25 cents which would allow them to go to the company store and buy a pickle, a slice of hoop cheese, a cracker and a peppermint stick. A student shouted out he couldn’t believe he got to buy all that for just 25 cents. Students didn’t hesitate to re-spond to what stood out the most of what they learned. Molly Rae said she learned people cut down trees to make their houses, they would have help from their neighbors. They all had to work together to make something.Emma Shadrick learned a working bull slipped in the river and drowned and that’s why that part of the river is called the Bull Hole.Brantley Purdue knew what bartering was before but liked how thy bartered the peanuts for apples.Ronnie Morgan said Native Americans crafted axes and tools out of rocks and bones.Nicholas Horton really enjoyed the sounds of nature and the sound of the waterfall.One student was upset about boys and girls doing the same job and girls making less. She said it wasn’t fair and against women’s rights.Another student shared her thoughts about girls having to go home and take care of their sib-lings. “They have to have babies and if it wasn’t for the girls the boys wouldn’t even be here,” she said.As the buses drove away the volunteers took a break before an-other load arrived. It’s a wonderful opportunity for our students to gain hands-on ex-perience and lessons of econom-ics that took place more than 200 years ago. The CHA gathers volunteers to make it a success and everyone did a great job. A big thank you t to you all. Feel free to contact me. I would love to hear from you. 336.250.1133, www.cooleemee-news@gmail.com. Not only did some children have to work at the mill in the early 1900s, the students learned that the paychecks of girls was considerably smaller than that paid to boys.
