Some nearby resi-dents at Pudding Ridge protest-ed, but the project eventually received county commission approval. Then supply chain issues delayed the project even further, said Thomas Golden, EnergyUnited chief executive officer.“But good things are hap-pening,” he said. “We’re start-ing to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels, something we think is important to our com-munities.”The 8.2MW facility will generate enough energy to power approximately 1,400 homes annually. “We want to do this in a way that is sustainable and affordable.” He looks up on the cloudless, warm morning. “As long as the sun is shining, we’ve got a supply. It’s pret-ty awesome. This investment helps us minimize costs.”He thanked community partners that helped get the project approved. “It really is a community effort. I’m excited I’m so much enjoying these visits to the county seats in North Carolina and used Sun-day, April 23, to add to my list. First I wanted to visit Greensboro, county seat of Guilford, with less traffic. The old part of town was called Greensbor-ough, formed in 1808, and is centered on Washington and Elm streets. The name changed to Greensboro in 1895. I ran several races in that area years ago, but this was my first time exploring the same streets.Right away, I found the modern courthouse just by being lucky to park near it. Just ahead, I found the old Carolina Theatre which opened on Halloween 1927, and the site where Jefferson Davis held two of his last cabinet meetings after the Confederate President had fled Rich-mond in 1865.

North Carolina’s first and only women’s Holocaust monument was unveiled at LeBauer Park on April 18. The statue, “She Wouldn’t Take Off Her Boots,” was designed in a shop on Elm Street.

MS article helped spread the word To the editor:Thank you for the great article last week about Multiple Sclerosis and our Walk for a Cure for MS at the Park at Lake Louise on April 29. We had almost 70 folks partici-pating on a day when many other events were going on in our community. One of our participants was newly diag-nosed with MS and would not have known about the event without your article. Thanks to our many sponsors and other donors, the fundraising event was a huge success. Our plans are to make this an annual event. Thank you again for spotlighting our event. More im-portantly, thank you for helping to improve our knowledge about MS and the great work that the National MS Society does both in supporting research as well as providing ser-vices to individuals with MS and their families.Joel and Beth EdwardsMocksville Poet’s CornerBy Linda H. BarnettePoet’s Corner is a section in Westminster Abbey that is special to all lovers of English literature. Over 100 writers, including several poets, are actually buried there and have memorials in that area. As an English teacher, I was awed by that place.The very first poet/writer who was buried there was Geoffrey Chaucer in 1400. He was the author of Canter-bury Tales, about various people who go on a religious pil-grimage together. I will never forget being asked by one of my major professors to read a portion of that work in the original Old English and being told by Dr. Kenneth Curry that I needed to practice my Old English!In 1598 Edmund Spenser, author of The Faerie Queen, one of the longest poems in our language, which he wrote for Queen Elizabeth I, was the second author to be buried there. That was another work that all English majors in grad school had to muddle through.Other literary figures buried there include Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, and many more. It is the job of the Deans of Westminster Abbey to decide who can be buried there. Not all are literary figures, however. George Frederic Han-del, composer of the oratorio, The Messiah, is there.Many other writers are interred there, including Thom-as Hardy, Alfred Lord Tennyson, Robert Browning and his wife, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Lord Byron, and Rudyard Kipling. Many of these people have bronze or marble markers or plaques of some type marking their spots.To me, as an English major, it was almost a sacred place! Intentions for the Ideal LifeBy Katie BellI am 110 years old. The days and nights blend together. Between naps, I think about the long life I have lived. I’ve taken care of my body as best I can for optimal mileage, although I have the aches and pains one would expect from the hard work of living. The pain in my shoulder reminds me of when I flipped my kayak in the rapid river during the spring snow melt in Arizona. The bunion on my right foot reminds me of generations of women who came be-fore me, long since passed. There is peace here, with no need to accomplish, no to-do lists, no weeds to pull. Just birds and wind, and the bamboo reeds that make a sound that is hollow and varied. What a relief it is to not have any goals! I came across my 45-year-old self, and she was power-ing forward. Doing one thing while thinking about what else needed to be done. Be still, I told her. Nothing will fall apart if you stop holding on to it. Just let go. Forge ahead with intention. Take care of your mind, body and soul, lest you lose sight of yourself in the midst of paying your attention to all the others.Take it in, I said. Your children are right there. Your students are expressing themselves, however loudly or misdirected. The children will all find their way and if they do get lost, they will know where to find you if you would only stay still. Find joy in watching them flounder about; it is the messy business of living.I live fulfilled and ready to leave this life, but there are still more books to be read, and so I continue to turn the pages. I have no regrets of things done or not done, al-though it took me many years to realize that regrets are just a symptom of life’s missed lessons. The ache of regret is only the surface of a deeper need to accept that while I might have done better, I am not perfect, and I grow with every misstep. Imperfections turn into opportunities, and so I tuck them away like old files in the bank boxes I keep in my closet, just in case I am ever audited. On Master GardeningBy Stephanie Williams DeanSome of the best training I’ve ever received was NC State University’s Master Gardener course sponsored by the NC Cooperative Extension service. I successfully com-pleted all requirements for the program and was awarded the title of Certified Master Gardener on Nov. 16, 2011. You might not know it from looking at my yard though – with land comes lots of upkeep. However, I did manage to plant many additional flow-ering azaleas, camellias, and roses – with a greater under-standing of what should go where. Even so, I learned the hard way and lost a few azaleas along the way – they re-ally don’t care for the afternoon sun. And my fluffy pink Kwanza cherry trees – by the time they reached full size, their flowered branches were comingling with the ever-green limbs of the conifers. At full growth, the branches of my show-stopping Yoshino cherry trees extended well beyond the power lines. The city’s hired tree trimmers – aka tree murderers - enjoy ruining my day. Those self-de-scribed, “tree experts” are nothing of the kind – always doing a hack job on my gorgeous trees. All of these problems could have been avoided by tak-ing one simple step before planting. Read. I didn’t have to take a master gardener class to learn to read the back of the plant tag. The tag gives you all the information about what the tree/shrub is going to need to grow optimally – full or partial sun, well-drained or not, and height and width dis-tance requirements. In other words – just how big is this plant going to get? Reading that tag and planting accord-ingly is important.So, if the tag reads that a plant’s limbs will grow 12 feet wide – you don’t plant it 12 feet away from something else. Because the 12 feet is only one side of the tree – you must include another 12 feet for the other side and account for the trunk. Rather than plant a tree that is going to reach a height of 24 feet and then have to chop the top off – why not plant one that’s only going to reach 12 feet tall? Plant it just like the tag tells you. That way, the tree can grow freely and without restriction. Now this might seem like rudimentary knowledge to you – but spend a little time looking at do-it-yourself land-scaping around homes and you will quickly notice the mis-haps. Taking the master gardener class certainly honed my skills in recognizing well-planned and executed landscape design. And it’s helped me improve my skills in placing plants and trees. You’ll receive practical knowledge and good tips on maintaining your yard. The master gardener class is 40 hours of classroom curriculum that’s offered in most counties. I highly rec-ommend the course if you have the desire to learn more about the science and art of horticulture. You learn a lot of practical information that you can put to good use in your own yard beautification program. It’s not hard – you just have to show up ready to learn. It’s a great goal for those who have the time to take it – the class is interesting and is completed in no time. If you’re retired and have the time – sign up. Before you know it, you’ll be a Certified Master Gardener. It’s just one more thing to help you enjoy all God’s given us – to the fullest. AprilBy: E. BishopThe month of April is named after the Greek goddess of love, Aphrodite. Very appropriate but like love can be confusing with the weather so unpredictable at times. You have the ending of winter mixed in with the rebirth of everything in the Spring. You’ve got to love it though. There are so many things to celebrate during this month with the top one being Easter this year. Check them out to see which ones you love the most. A few of mine follow.National Kindergarten Day is April 21 - my daughter, Heather, teaches kindergarten so, of course, this is an im-portant event. Kindergarten is a great milestone for not only the child, but for the parents; this day helps prepare both for new beginnings in life.April 27th is National Tell A Story Day. Read a story, write a story, tell a story, go see a play - if you ever get the chance to see the play “Big Fish” where the son has never believed his dying father’s life stories, please go; it’s well worth it. The 29th is National Shrimp Scampi Day - yummy - don’t need to say more. It’s also national zipper day - whaaat?” Now, I could really get into National Jellybean Someone told me the other day I should write something funny.Haven’t they heard?Funny ain’t cool no more.Because funny usually involves poking fun at someone, sometimes oneself, it has gone out of fash-ion. People have become really offensive these days. Haven’t you looked at any Facebook comments re-cently?It is good to hear that Sammy Kershaw will open up the summer concert series in the Davie Community Park on June 3. Or is it?Sammy Kershaw almost got me lynched. Seriously.I used to think I was funny. I wrote a lot of things I thought were funny in a column in this newspaper many years ago. Things were going pretty good, I thought, with positive comments and people encour-aging me to write more.Jeff Foxworthy was at his peak, Lewis Grizzard was on the way out, and I was struggling somewhere in between.Then, on my drive to work one morning, I saw the sign. In great big letters high above Wilkesboro Street, it plainly stated: “Fire Mike Barnhardt.”I turned the car around to see if it was true. It was.But what had I done?I had quoted Sammy Kershaw. I thought it was fun-ny.Kershaw’s song, “Queen of My Double Wide Trail-er” had become a hit. I saw it as a good opportunity to spread my knowledge about the redneck culture. And believe me, I know plenty. I used to be one. Some say I still am.That “Fire Mike Barnhardt” sign was erected by a local mobile home salesman. He misunderstood. I failed miserably in trying to be funny - at least to this one guy. Actually, I was on his side; but he didn’t real-ize it. And he wouldn’t back down. The song was fine, my words weren’t, he said. And he was a big ole’ boy, so I was worried.To be honest, Sammy Kershaw made more fun of the redneck lifestyle in that one song than I did be-cause I wrote about real experiences. I think Sammy’s song was made up, with the chorus: So I made her the queen of my double wide trailer With the polyester curtains and the red wood deck Now she’s run off and I’ve got to trail her Dang her black heart and her pretty red neck. C’mon, Sammy. That ain’t funny. I used to dream of owning my own double wide. My column, however, was funny. I talked about living in a single-wide mobile home. At the time, it was a step up in my lifestyle. I had lived in Benson’s ghetto (Yes, Benson had a ghetto, or at- least I called it that. There were major railroad tracks in the back, and the busiest north/south US highway three steps from the front door. Only poor people like myself lived there, most of them rednecks or redneck wannabes). I talked about my dog’s tail hitting both sides of the wall in that trailer as he walked down the hall. I talked about that same dog’s tail swiping away the half full liquor and beer bottles on the coffee ta- ble. I talked about how Jersey girls, for some unknown reasons, gravitated towards us with redneck pedigrees. Not only was it funny, it was true. My sign: “Fire people who are too sensitive to take a joke.” - Mike Barnhardt DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, May 4, 2023 - 3Presidential Mothers Renegade ... Continued From Page 2Day, love those things. But, they have to be the good ones. Now, National Stress Awareness Month is April but if you can also enjoy the fact that it is National Garden Month (with the 14th being the day to celebrate) and National Arbor Day on the 28th, then just maybe there will be some less stress involved. It’s also time to celebrate Keep Amer-ica Beautiful which we definitely need all year long. On a very personal level, April is a very cherished month. April 30, 1964, is carved into the concrete founda-tion of my childhood home; I was ten years old when my parents allowed me to do that. Our old farmhouse across the road was so dilapidated that this new house my father built, with timber harvested from the farm, was something to look forward to. I still didn’t have my own bedroom yet, but that was okay. After all these years, I’m still amazed at how my parents even managed to accomplish this with so little money. Dad was able to enjoy our new home for seven years and Mother for many more before joining him on Easter morning, April 11th, 2004.On a brighter note, a dear sibling has an April birthday, and we all love to celebrate that - yes, she is older than me! The most recent cause for celebration has been the mar-riage of our youngest daughter on April 8th, the Saturday before Easter this year. Although her original date had to moved from January to this date, it must have been destiny that she be married in the month of love, and that they are making their new home in that same house built in 1964. You may be reading this in May rather than April, but make every day a day to celebrate something special in your life. By Betty Etchison WestFor the Enterprise When thinking of Ida Stover Eisenhower, the words drill sergeant or commanding officer come to mind. Why would one even think of such words when thinking of the mother of Dwight David Eisenhower, who became the 34h Pres-ident of the United States? The reason is that Ida Stover Eisenhower was the mother of six sons, actually seven, but one died when he was 10 months old of diphtheria. With six grow-ing sons in the household, someone had to have con-trol or there would have been complete chaos. Ida’s husband had little to do with his sons’ up-bringing so the boys’ moth-er was the one in charge. As the person in charge, Ida did a superior job, whether you think of her as a moth-er, a drill sergeant, or a commanding officer. Ida Stover was born May 1, 1862, right in the middle of the Civil War in Mount Sidney, Va. Her parents were Elizabeth Ida Judah Kirk Stover and Si-mon P. Stover. Ida’s par-ents were members of a religious group, the River Brethren, who were strong pacificists. Her father paid a thousand dollars for a substitute to join the Army in his place. Later he was drafted a second time and he left his wife with eight children and went north into the Union territory. Confederate soldiers then stormed the farm looking for any sons that were old enough to be soldiers. It was all just more than Ida’s mother could take. She died when Ida was 6 and the father sent the chil-dren to live with relatives. Ida was sent to live with her strict maternal grand-parents where she had to work as no child should ever have had to do. She was told that she could not expect to go to school.Ida made a plan which she carried out. She de-cided that when she was a bit older, she would go to Staunton, get a room, get a job as a mother’s help-er, bake pies and cakes for sale, and put her herself though school. She did all of that, and then she went back and taught at the little school that she had scarcely been able to attend. When Ida was 21, she inherited a good sum of money from her father, and she decided to join a group of homesteaders who were headed to Kansas. Before she left Virginia, she did something surprising. She spent $600 for a piano, the finest piano in the store—a Boston-made Hallett and Cumston. That piano, an item which Ida would never give up, was put on the train with other items that belonged to the group headed for Kansas.Ida found Kansas to be a different place from the beautiful Virginia country-side where she grew up, but she “accepted the differenc-es with the equanimity that was programmed into her spirit” according to Bonnie Angelo in her book, “First Mothers, The Women Who Shaped the Presidents.” Ida’s brothers had ar-ranged for her to go to Land University, which was an institution run by the Riv-er Brethren. Ida was happy there. She studied litera-ture, history and the subject that she liked best, music. Many words have been used to describe Ida. In Bonnie Angelo’s book she said that Ida had unaffect-ed grace imprinted on ev-ery feature of her amiable countenance, brow unfur-rowed, hazel eyes alight with interest and open to the world around her. An-gelo also said that Ida had a smile, bright as a prairie sunrise. That is the lovely Land University girl who met fellow student, David Ei-senhower, whose personali-ty was completely opposite that of the young lady who had moved from Virginia to Kansas. David was described by Angelo as a somber man who rarely smiled. Evident-ly the “old saw” opposites attract is a true statement. It certainly was true in the case of Ida Stover and Da-vid Eisenhower. Ida was more than at-tracted to this tall, serious man who was given to dark moods and that somewhat strange young man was re-ally attracted to Ida. They got married on Sept. 25, 1885 when David was 23. David’s father gave his son 160 acres of land and $2,000 when he got mar-ried. David did not want to farm so he mortgaged the land and opened a store, a business for which he was not suited because of his dour personality. It worked for a while, and, then, the farmers were hit by bad weather, etc. and could not buy the merchandise. The store went bankrupt. David got work in Den-ison, Texas. He worked on the railroad making $10 a week. David finally moved his family to Denison, and it was there that Ida gave birth to her third son on Oct. 14, 1890. That was the son who would become President of the United States. David felt he was a fail-ure, and, as such, he re-treated more into himself and spent his time when he was not working reading the Bible, written in Greek, and studying charts that re-lated stars to the Pyramids of Egypt. It seemed that as David became weaker, Ida became stronger—she real-ly did not have a choice be-cause someone had to care for that growing family.The Eisenhowers were called back to Abilene, Kansas. The religious group called the Brethren or the River Brethren had a creamery. They offered David a job there. Ida was so happy to move back to Abilene. They were back in Abilene, but in a tiny, 818 square foot house on the wrong side of the tracks. After about eight years in that tiny house with a growing family, David’s brother offered them a much larger house on South East Fourth Street for a modest sum if Ida would care for her father-in-law. The deal was completed and Ida was thrilled. At last, she had a home with a parlor. She at last had a home for her pi-ano.The house at South East Fourth Street was set on three acres, which was wonderful for the growing Eisenhower family. This is when Ida really became the commanding officer. Each of the boys was as-signed one or more chores. Some of those chores were: milking the cows, feeding the chickens, gathering eggs, caring for the horses, working in the garden to produce vegetables for the family’s table, and selling vegetables to the towns-people. The little money re-ceived from selling vegeta-bles helped because money was always in short sup-ply. Ida also needed help in the house. It is believed that Dwight may have been assigned to help with the cooking because he liked to cook and entertain guests all of his life. Things oper-ated fairly smoothly in the Eisenhower home because of Ida’s ability to organize. It was understood that her husband was head of the household, but he did little to help with the growing sons.Religion played a sig-nificant part in Ida Eisen-hower’s life. Early on she was a member of the Riv-er Brethren, an offshoot of the Mennonites. They were pacifists. There is some in-formation that says that Ida later joined the Jehovah’s Witness, which was also a pacifist group, so Ida was a pacifist all of her life. When Dwight told his mother that he was going to West Point and become a military officer, Ida was disturbed but she did not feel that she should do any-thing to stop him. She felt that each individual must chart his own course.The day he left to go to West Point, Ida saw him off. She then went to her room and sobbed. Her sons said that that was the first time they had ever seen her cry. The following quotation from the Angelo book ex-plains Ida’s feeling about the course her son Dwight chose. “My highest hope is that Dwight may be an in-strument in bringing peace to this troubled world. Looking at it that way, she saw his military role as a plan ordained by God.” Ida Stover Eisenhow-er died on Sept. 11, 1946, seven years before her son was inaugurated as Presi-dent. She was buried in the Abilene Kansas Cemetery, which is in the same town, but not the same area where her son, Dwight, and his wife, Mamie, are buried.Bonnie Angelo quoted David Dwight Eisenhow-er words about his moth-er, “She steered her sons safely through trying times, curbed their wayward in-clinations, inspired them to succeed, instilled in them her own true principles. She was content.”The following was spo-ken by the former Presi-dent concerning his mother in Bonnie Angelo’s book: “Late in his own life, Dwight spoke lovingly of her sincerity, her open smile, her gentleness with all, her tolerance of their ways, and for her sons, privileged to spend a boy-hood in her company, the memories that were indeli-ble. Mother was by far the greatest personal influence in our lives.” BREAKFAST In Support of the Davie County Food Pantry Guests are asked to bring canned food items.The food pantry has a need for canned: meats, fruit, peanut butter and jelly, and pancake mix.

The most impressive buildings in this area are the Lincoln Financial Tower at 20 stories next to the 18 story Jefferson Standard Building. The old town is full of interesting stores, most of them in historic buildings.Modern Greensboro has lots of bagel stores and I had to visit one on the way out of town. I ate more bagels today than I have in total the last two months.•My next county seat was Graham, of Alamance. Graham became a town in 1851. It’s another town that surrounds the county courthouse built in 1923 and is loaded with interest-ing historic buildings. Parking was at a pre-mium, with several large churches, shopping and one particular restaurant busy late on a Sunday morning. The Montwhite Building from 1907 was the Opera House first and one of the 70 downtown his-toric structures. There are several large historic mill buildings too, one with a separate bathroom building added in 1940. The 1902 Wrike Drugs is still in the original building with only the store front altered. The movie “Jesus Resolution” was showing all afternoon in the cinema building.Most surprising was that the Press Restaurant offering coffee, crepes and cocktails had a 90-minute wait for a table. Graham is one of the few flat down-towns so far and has plenty to visit.•Then I drove on to Lexington, another historic downtown that I haven’t spent enough time in over the years. Lexington was incorporated in 1828 and named after Lexington, Mass. I found the fantastic Old Davidson County Court-house, now a museum, first built in 1858. The interior Interesting old buildings in Old Greensborough, and the F.W. Woolworth building that now houses a civil rights museum. - Photos by David Freeze was burned in 1865 and repaired in 1867. I remain amazed at the quality, style and beauty of these old courthouses and this one is one of the best yet.Two Lexington fixtures began with the Conrad Hinkle grocery store, built in 1919. Famous for old time homemade things like pimento cheese and chicken salad plus hand-cut meats, the store remains popular. Just down the street is Lanier Hardware. Opened in 1940 and still operated by the Lanier family, locals say that if Lanier’s doesn’t have it in their 32,000 square feet of space, you don’t need it. The old post office be-came a library building but appears unused now. Decorative pigs are scat-tered along the sidewalks and each one advertises something different. Lex-ington calls itself the Bar-becue Capital of the World.Especially good was a statue near the police department of a uniformed officer holding the hand of a little girl while he talked with her. Bike racks along the sidewalk were placed in honor of local citizens. And the Sinfully Deli-cious custom bakery was taking orders for Elvis cakes. •The last city this week is Concord, Cabarrus County seat. Concord means “to bring into harmony” and was first settled about 1750 and incorporated in 1806. It is the 10th largest city in North Carolina. Cotton and textile mills were stalwart industries as the city prospered. The 1839 Odell-Locke-Ran-dolph Mill is now a popular retail space. Union Street is the one of the most beautiful streets I have ever seen with more than 200 historic struc-tures. Often I have gone to Concord just to run out and back on Union, ending in the downtown area.The historic and stately Cabarrus County Court- house was built in 1876, one of four courthouses used since the town’s inception. Government buildings dominate the downtown area, with cur-rent courthouse expansion still underway and various city and county buildings. The City Hall and Cabar-rus County Sheriff’s Office and Detention Center, in particular, were especially interesting.Several large murals, one honoring the hometown Avett Brothers, can be seen, along with one of the original What-a-Burgers, labeled as location No. 2 on it’s sign.A giant step forward is the streetscape construction under way on downtown Union Street. When com-plete, bike lanes, significant landscape plantings and widened walking areas will highlight the area. Concord looks successful and growing, and I’m bet-ting that continues.•Now with 30 county seats complete, 70 remain. I had 6.27 miles on foot in these four towns, all enjoy-able.

The Conrad & Hinkle grocery, in Lexington since 1919; and of course, there are plenty of pigs as Lexington touts itself as the barbecue capital of the world.

The 1923 courthouse sits in the middle of Graham (above), which also includes the 1901 Wright Drugs build- ing, now a cafe. DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, May 4, 2023 - 5 By Mike BarnhardtEnterprise Record Even before last Saturday, Joyel Miller of Mocksville was the “Pickle Queen.”Her t-shirt said so.And who other than the real Pickle Queen would travel nearly three hours to the Mt. Olive Pickle Fes-tival with an entourage of some 15 supporters, all wearing “Pickle Squad” t-shirts?And who other than the real Pickle Queen would bring home $100 and a big cucumber trophy for down-ing nine whole Mt. Olive Kosher Dill pickles in five minutes?Joyel Miller would, that’s who.And the reigning cham-pion of the Mt. Olive Pickle Festival pickle eating con-test is relishing in her glo-ry, getting congratulations from family and friends, and interviews from several reporters.Believe it or not, enter-ing the contest was on her bucket list.A life-long pickle lover, she attended the festival last year, while recovering from her second bout of breast cancer (She says she’s can-cer free, now.). It was there she decided to enter the con-test.But you can’t just show up. Only 12 male and 12 fe-male contestants are select-ed from applications sent in more than a month before the contest.“I just love pickles. I’ve always loved pickles,” she said. “I used to drink the pickle juice from pickles grandma had made. I’ll ad-mit, grandma’s pickles were much better than Mt. Ol-ive’s.”Of course, she grows her own cucumbers and makes her own pickles. But that’s not enough, she said. She works at Unifi in Yadkin-ville and part-time at Big Lots in Mocksville. “That supports my pickle habit.”Her favorite store-bought pickles are the Food Lion brand whole sour pickles. “Anything sour, I love it.”Her husband Timmy agreed.“When she was expecting our son, that’s the only thing she wanted was something sour ... pickles, saurkraut, anything.”And yes, her son, Jona-than, also loves pickles.During the contest, she was the stoic contestant. While others made faces and puckered on each bite, Miller just went about her business, eating one pickle, then another.“I probably could have eaten more if I had more time,” she said. “I knew I wouldn’t have any trouble getting them down. I don’t know if I could ever get full of pickles.”Her husband nodded in agreement. “She was deter-mined.”Although she could hear the Pickle Squad cheering her on, she didn’t look up. After all, there were hun- Joyel Miller and her “Pickle Squad” in front of the mural at the Mt. Olive Pickle Festival. dreds, maybe a thousand onlookers at the contest. “There were people as far as I could see.”She didn’t “stretch” her stomach as did some other contestants. In fact, she ate her normal breakfast prior to the noon contest.Her friends are encourag-ing her to quit with the title, but Miller says she’s consid-ering to apply for the contest again next year. If she wants another title, she needs to get it soon because she has a “niece,” Patsy Gregory, who at age 2 can eat pickles like a champion.“She’s going to break my record some day.” Joyel Miller (second from left) relaxes prior to the start of the Mt. Olive Pickle Festival pickle eating contest. - Submitted Photos Miller is interviewed by a reporter after the con- test, one of several interviews she agreed to. Joyel Miller with her niece, Patsy Gregory, who also loves pickles; and with her son Jonathan, who also loves pickles, and her husband Timmy, who is not a big fan of the sour treats.

DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, May 4, 2023 - 9 Author Robert Morgan wrote that Daniel Boone - Davie’s famous frontiers-man - sometimes whistled and sang as he ventured westward.Although his audience was usually just birds and other animals in the wilder-ness, he often sang as he designed routes for others to follow.And on Saturday, there will be plenty of music at the Daniel Boone Family Festival in Historic Down-town Mocksville. The festi-val is from 10 a.m.-5 p.m., with entertainment on the outdoor stage continuing until 7:30. It will feature area ar-tisans, historical tours throughout the county, food, live music, and a kids’ area with free inflatables and bal-loon artistry. Daniel Boone spent near-ly 25 years in the Yadkin Valley area, and two of the three tours on Saturday will revolve around landmarks associated with the Boone clan. The big attraction for Boone buffs are the tours that run at 10:15 a.m., and 12:30 p.m., and again at 2:15 p.m. Tours are $5 and are provided by bus or van.These tours include stops at historic Joppa Cemetery, where Daniel’s parents Squire and Sarah Boone, and his brother Israel are buried (Israel’s grave is the oldest in the cemetery).; the Boone Tract at Bear Creek, a 640-acre parcel of land granted to Squire Boone in 1753 and later sold to his son Daniel; the Daniel Boone Marker in Farm-ington; and nearby Pud-ding Ridge, where General Cornwallis crossed Dutch-man Creek in pursuit of Na-thanael Greene (Cornwallis named the area for the thick mud in the area his troops had to march through).A tour departing at 11:45 a.m. also visits Joppa Cem-etery, Bear Creek, and the Boone Tract, but adds tours of the Jesse A. Clement House (1828) and Historic Center Arbor, constructed as a site for “camp meet-ings” during the Third Great Awakening in 1876.The festival vendors will pack it up by 5 p.m., but the entertainment continues un-til 7:30.• 1:30-3 p.m., His & Hers;•3:30-5 p.m., Sweet Tea Trio; and• 6-7:30 p.m., Neon Union.• His & Hers, a local hus-band-and-wife Americana folk duo, has released three albums, including “Come On In,” which came out in September 2022. Caleb and Sara Davis have played to-gether as His & Hers since 2013. His & Hers has played many festivals and stages, including Merlefest, Appa-loosaFest, The CBC Blue-grass Festival, The Daniel Boone Festival, The Ram-kat, The Reeves Theater, The Blue Ridge Music Center Amphitheatre, The COMMA Theatre, and the Muddy Creek Music Hall. They have shared the stage with and/or opened for many regional and national touring Americana acts in-cluding: The Steel Drivers, Scythian, 49 Winchester, Vince Herman (Leftover Salmon), Dom Flemmons (Carolina Chocolate Drops), Mason Via (Old Crow Med- icine Show), Zoe & Cloyd, Joe Mullins & Radio Ram-blers, Cane Mill Road, Car-oline Owens, Hank Smith & Pattie Kinlaw, Tyler Nail and many more. His & Hers also receives regular radio play from stations in Winston-Salem, (WTOB), Greensboro, (WUAG), and Stateville, NC (WAME).• Sweet Tea Trio, an all-female harmony group hail-ing from the deep south, is bringing a new “old school country with a country rock flair” to Nashville. Kate Falcon, Victoria Camp, and Charity Bowden have opened up for legendary acts of all genres, including Bon Jovi, Kid Rock, The Marshall Tucker Band, and Alabama. They recently released a six-song album titled “Sugar Rush,” pro-duced by Kid Rock.• Neon Union, comprised of newcomers Leo Brooks and Andrew Millsaps, is a duo preparing to take country music by storm. Local favorites His&Hers, Caleb and Sara Davis, will open up the Daniel Boone Family Festival music, performing from 1:30-3 p.m., followed by the Sweet Tea Trio at 3:30.It’s true: Daniel Boone liked to whistle and sing Three acts to perform free concert at festival stage on Saturday Country music newcomers Neon Union will close out the festival music. Brooks grew up in Miami and has collaborated with artists like Pitbull, Lauryn Hill, Jennifer Lopez, Mary J. Blige, Cee Lo Green, and John Legend. Millsaps grew up in North Carolina and has been writing songs ever since the age of 13. Together they are bring-ing a new sound to country music, with 808 kick drums married to traditional coun-try lyrics and anthemic pop melodies.All of the performances are free. Alcoholic bever- ages and water can be pur-chased in the concert area (no coolers).

More than 40 years ago, women of the United Meth-odist organizations in Davie County began meeting for a fellowship meal, music, singing, a program, and an offering to support women and children.Sometimes, instead of money, items such as dia-pers were donated.Three years ago, these yearly meetings were halted due to Covid.The name United Meth-odist Women is now United Women in Faith, to be more inclusive of all women who share the faith no matter what church denomination they attend. The main pur-pose of UWF is to work to improve the lives of women, children and youth while nurturing each other through Christian spiritual formation, leadership devel-opment, creative fellowship and education to inspire, in-fluence and impact local and global communities.This year’s event will be June 5, and a host church and outreach project will be announced soon.“All women in faith are invited to attend and be a part of an organization that began over 150 years ago with only eight women whose whole purpose was to address the health and education of girls and wom-en,” said Barbara Crotts.To learn more, contact Crotts at 336-940-8001 or imacrotts@twc.com.

First Davie Senior Prom a success DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, May 4, 2023 - 11 As many Davie County residents struggle to make ends meet, a local nonprofit organization continues to work to keep a roof over each person’s head.The Advocacy Center of Davie County provides one-time, temporary assistance to local residents facing un-certain housing situations. The goal is to keep Davie residents in a stable home by preventing any threats to security – including but not limited to failure to pay rent, power cutoffs, or evic-tion notices.Allie Fruits is the new-est director of the Advocacy Center of Davie. She is one of the few directors to have grown up in Davie County and attend Davie County schools. She graduated from Da-vie County High School and earned her master’s from N.C. State University in so-cial work. She has trained for this type of work and is doing what she loves in her home county. She has been involved in this community since she was a young girl and continues her involvement through her work with the Advocacy Center and as a contract social worker with the Davie County schools, She said the two jobs often go well together as she sees or hears of needs through the school system. She is an active member of First Presbyterian Church Continued From Page 1said Brandi Reagan, execu-tive director of the Dragon-fly House Childrens Advo-cacy Center in Mocksville.Education is focused on the “Who, What, When, Where, and Why” sur-rounding mandated report-ing laws, the forms of child abuse and neglect along with signs and symptoms to be aware of, how and where to make a report when you do become aware of it, and why it is important for ev-eryone to understand their responsibility to protect children and bring an end to child abuse and neglect.Reagan helped create this campaign after too many cases continue to come through the doors involving children who have suffered severe abuse where adults in the child’s lives knew the abuse was occurring and didn't know what to do or how to stop it. “There are laws already on record in North Carolina to address this very issue and to protect children, yet these laws serve no purpose if the individuals mandated by these laws don't even know they exist,” she said. “The impact of children’s lives forever being changed and the lifetime costs associ-ated with adverse childhood experiences are going to be too large to overcome if we SENIOR CENTER ACTIVITIES Exercise / Dance Fitness Room Bowling League Computer Lab Social Activities Educational Seminars Community Events Trips Card & Board Games Arts & Crafts Senior Games VOLUNTEER OPTIONS Class Instructors Front Desk Meals on Wheels Lunch Program Office Help SHIIP Tax Aide SERVICES Caregiver Support Meals on Wheels Congregate (On-Site) Lunch Program Legal Aide Information, Assistance & Options Counseling In Home Aide Seniors’ Health Insurance Information Program (SHIIP) CONNECT WITH US: Main Campus: Health & Fitness Center: 278 Meroney Street 644 North Main Street Mocksville, NC 27028 Mocksville, NC 27028 336-753-6230 (both sites) www.daviecountync.gov/seniorservices | Be sure & check us out on Facebook WHAT WE OFFER: WHO WE ARE: Davie County Senior Services is a county agency where adults 55 and older can go for services and activities that reflect their interests and needs. It is also the place for the community to turn for education and information about aging issues. The effort to have more child abuse instances reported is reaching beyond Davie County. Report ... don't bring more awareness to what mandated reporting is. There are people who see things and want to help, but have no idea who to call or where to start. Hopefully this campaign will help bridge that gap.”Kaitlin Page, owner of Lotus Marketing, has been a trusted partner of The Drag-onfly House for years, pro-viding marketing, website, and social media services. When The Dragonfly House needed to create a campaign to fulfill mandated reporting requirements, they knew who to turn to for guidance. "It is an honor to be asked by Brandi and her team at The Dragonfly House to lead this campaign,” Page said. “The W5 initiative is incredibly important in bringing awareness and re-sources to those who have been impacted by abuse. We hope to create a catchy and memorable campaign that will make a significant im-pact in our community."The W5 Campaign has gained tremendous momen-tum with the addition of two more Children’s Advocacy Centers - Robin’s Nest of Caldwell County and Ter-ri Hess House in Rowan County. The W5 Campaign is aimed at empowering in-dividuals with knowledge and resources to identify abuse, seek help, and take action. With the addition of Robin’s Nest and Terri Hess House, the W5 Campaign is set to make an even great-er impact in communities across North Carolina, Rea-gan said.The agencies are com-mitted to working together to provide training and re-sources to individuals, busi-nesses, civic groups, church groups, and school groups. The campaign will focus on raising awareness of the five key questions that individu-als should ask themselves or others who may be experi-encing abuse: Who, What, When, Where, and Why. This vision of this cam-paign is not just about rais-ing awareness; it is also about empowering com-munities to take action to protect children from abuse and neglect. That's why the campaign offers training and presentations to indi-viduals and groups in North Carolina.These training sessions provide a comprehensive look at the mandated re-porting process in North Carolina and equip partici-pants with the knowledge and tools they need to iden-tify all forms of abuse, seek help, and take action, Rea-gan said. “As W5 gains momen-tum, we encourage every- one to join us in supporting this important cause. To-gether, we can make a dif-ference and create a safer, healthier, and happier world for our children.”For more information, visit www.thedragon- flyhouse.com or contact Reagan at 336-753-6155 or Brandi@thedragonfly-house.com. in Mocksville.The Advocacy Center has been helping to prevent homelessness for more than 15 years. In addition to pro-viding a financial safety net for crisis situations, the or-ganization connects people with other need-based com-munity services. Fruits has worked hand-in-hand with other agencies to assist families in stabi-lizing their home environ-ments. Davie County is experi-encing an affordable hous-ing shortage which makes the work of the AC that much more important as they assist people in main-taining their current living situation, she said. In 2022, the Advocacy Center spent $54,000 to assist 364 people. When someone receives assis-tance, it benefits everyone in the household, Fruits said. Those receiving help include single moms, pro-fessionals, veterans, and families struggling to live marginally on minimum wage jobs. “My goal this year is to implement budgeting class-es for the residents we have served and others in the community to help them be-come more financially sta-ble. We would like to help provide the education and resources they need to build a better future.“The Advocacy Center is so thankful for the Davie Community Foundation, DCF Pearls, and Energy United. They support our mission and we could not do what we do without the funding these grants pro-vide.”In March, the first post Covid bingo fundraiser was held. It was a great success and Fruits was thankful for the support of the communi-ty. She is planning another one for early 2024. “We also receive finan-cial support from some lo-cal churches, individuals, and businesses. We would like to broaden our support system, so we can provide assistance to more members of the community,” Fruits said. New director joins Davie Advocacy center Allie Fruits Advance Fire Department is preparing for its 10th an-nual Fire Camp open to ris-ing 6th-9th grade boys and girls.

Davie’s application fo-cuses on youth programs that build the civic capacity, increase job readiness and employment and provide leadership opportunities.This is the first in a series of articles sharing the sec-tions of Davie’s application. “While the application was compiled by a team of county and municipal rep-resentatives and community leaders, the story is about all of us,” said Jeanna Bax-ter White, owner of Word Master Media Group and a member of the committee. “As you read, you will revel in Davie County’s accom-plishments and learn more about innovative programs in your own backyard. Take a bow Davie County, you have much to be proud of.The application requires Davie to focus on the last ten years of progress and devel-opment, describing how that progress has benefited resi-dents. It has to describe how the community addresses challenges and plans for the future; and has to provide the history and background to set the stage for the rest of the application. •In 2013, Davie County, like many other commu-nities, was coming out of the great recession. Unlike Davie ... other communities, leaders decided to transition from an outlying bedroom com-munity to a jobs-focused destination that could attract industry and young profes-sionals. That December, the Da-vie County Economic De-velopment Commission launched the “Together We Are Davie” campaign, an economic growth initiative to create more than 1,200 jobs and to raise $100 mil-lion in new corporate in-vestments by 2018. The community was challenged to meet a capital fundrais-ing goal of $1 million. Its success relied upon coor-dinating efforts between education, industry, tech-nology, and government. It also meant breaking down some of the governmental silos that existed within the community to become more effective and efficient. “The results were ex-traordinary,” the committee wrote.• Davie led the state in job creation from 2013-2017 with 23 percent growth, while North Carolina aver-aged 8.5 percent;• created more than 1,200 jobs;• assisted local companies with acquiring $3.6 million in state/federal grants;• attracted private invest-ment of more than $111 mil-lion;• attracted over 1,000,000 square feet of new spec in-dustrial buildings;• reduced the unemploy- ment rate from 13% to 3%.Here is more from the committee’s application.“This team approach to addressing community eco-nomic development needs set the stage for discussions that would lead to the de-velopment of the 2017 Ber-muda Run Comprehensive Plan, 2018 Davie County Strategic Plan, and 2019 Mocksville Comprehensive Plan. Each of these plans included an emphasis on es-tablishing mutually benefi-cial relationships to deliver services in the most efficient and cost-effective manner. “Public engagement has helped direct the use of the resources freed up through tax base growth and more efficient partnerships to-ward community priorities like education, quality of life, mental health, and opi-oid abuse. “Over the last seven years, our community has been breaking down munic-ipal and county silos to cre-ate cost-saving partnerships including: • sharing costs of eco-nomic development, plan- ning & zoning, inspections; • partnering on a $52M regional water treatment plant instead of two plants; • closing an outdated sew-er plant and sending flow to a regional partner; • building a new, techno-logically advanced high school; • transforming the old high school complex into a community park; and• consolidating law en-forcement services from three agencies to one. “Our focus on the stra-tegic planning process has helped us more effectively engage our community in setting priorities. Our em-phasis on economic devel-opment, job creation, and mutually beneficial commu-nity partnerships has pro-vided fertile ground for the youth programs showcased later in our application.”Next week’s article will focus on community civic strength: values, culture of engaged residents, inclusive community leadership, di-versity and equity, authentic communications, and col-laborative institutions.

Making complicated nutrition information easy to understand! 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 BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT Kidney Nutrition Care Center Servicing Davie County and Surrounding Counties There are 37 M Americans with kidney disease, and many more people who are at risk of developing kidney disease due to diabetes or high blood pressure. Other people at risk for having kidney disease are those that are overweight, age 60+, or those with a family histo-ry of kidney disease. Kidney disease can be slowed down by making certain changes to diet and lifestyle. You may not know it but there is now a place for people in and around Davie County to go for support and guid-ance to manage or prevent kidney disease. Kathy Crotts, born and raised in Davie County and a registered dietitian for nearly 15 years, opened a private practice in Mocksville, NC earlier this year. After work-ing for many years in the long-term care, hospital, and food service management settings, Kathy decided to make her longtime dream of owning her own business a reality. “About 10 years ago, I had the opportunity to work alongside an amazing team of nephrologists and learn how to slow the progression of kidney disease by making lifestyle and diet changes.” Kathy says, “Ever since I started learning those skills, I’ve been dreaming about opening my own business to help people avoid or delay the need for dialysis.” Recently Kathy, along with her husband, Brent, de-cided that she was ready to make her dream a reality. In January 2023, she moved into her office – Kidney Nu-trition Care Center, which is located at 101 Wilkesboro Street, Suite A, in Mocksville. Kidney Nutrition Care Center is here and ready to help you improve your health and quality of life through dietary changes. Our mission is ultimately to help peo-ple avoid or slow down kidney function decline. That doesn’t mean that she only helps people with kidney disease at her office. Kathy says, “While my goal and mission is to help people with kidney disease, I am meeting that goal when I help people who have high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, or other health conditions. By helping people improve their health with their diets, I’m making a small impact on the number of people who have kidney disease or who require dialy-sis.” Clients who come to Kidney Nutrition Care Center can expect to receive unhurried, personalized nutrition recommendations and guidance. After being welcomed into the office by Brandi Drye, the executive manager, clients receive individual and personalized counseling on their nutrition needs. Clients help determine how frequently they come in for follow-up visits based on their needs and schedules. Individuals can self-pay for services or health insurance can be filed. Sliding scale discounts are also offered for those that qualify based on financial need. The Kidney Nutrition Care Center is currently in-network with Medicare, Humana, Blue Cross Blue Shield, and some United HealthCare plans. For maximum support and success, program packages are also available which help with accountability, meal plans, email support, and between-session coaching. Additionally, food items and supplements are available for purchase to help support clients’ needs. The difference in Kidney Nutrition Care Center is that they form partnerships with clients so that they can be successful in reaching their goals for improving their health. “I am passionate about helping my clients reach their goals” says Kathy “I am not here just to give hand-outs and wish people well on their journey. It is an amaz-ing feeling when people I’ve been able to help realize that they have made changes that will keep them off dialysis for much longer than they expected.” You can find out more about Kidney Nutrition Care Center by visiting www.kidneynutritioncare.com, fol-lowing them on Facebook, or by calling 336-936-8169.

The establishment’s a spin-off from the old logging days in the Smokies – living and eat-ing in timber camps. I was captivated by the vintage collectibles that had once belonged to people who lived in what is now the Great Smokey Mountains National Park - woven bas-kets, pieces of moonshine stills, cowbells, and old pottery. But that was before I previewed the breakfast menu that featured Hungry Hunter’s Huntcamp Skillets, Hen Fruit, and Cathead Biscuit Stack-ers. And that was just for starters. Crockett’s 1875 Breakfast Camp gave break-fast a whole new meaning. And if you’ve ever been – I’ll bet you a buck that you want to go back.I’m ready to travel over the mountain again for another Cathead. Just the name’s enough to prompt a trip. The giant biscuit really has nothing to do with a cat – except for being as big as a cat’s head. Back in those days, biscuits were born from necessity. Women had to cook simply and quickly to prepare large amounts of food for hungry loggers. Big clumps of biscuit dough weren’t rolled out but were pulled and shaped by hand and then dropped into cast iron skillets. My favorite way to eat biscuits is the way Mamma served them – split, buttered, and then broiled until toasted and crispy around the edges. Then I add a spread of chunky, homemade, whole fruit pre-serves. A sweet corn pone with dried cranberries is served as a side to most items on the menu. Way back when, this traditional, spoon-like bread was served typically only on special occasions. If you love the morning meal as I do but can’t drop everything for a mountain drive to Crockett’s for breakfast – included are a few mouth-watering recipes that give you a taste of the place. For a fun trip, here are a few more must-dos and hon-orable mentions. Surprisingly, the Pirates Show in Pigeon Forge was fabulous and with a stage that’s a real water lagoon – be prepared to see an amazing show. Being a country music fan, I enjoyed the Country Tonite Theater which featured lots of songs and costume changes. While in Gatlinburg, take the Sky Lift up the mountain to a long suspension bridge that touts beautiful views and rockers for relaxing. While driving from Gatlinburg to Cherokee, spring was unfolding in the park with that eye-catching, vivid green that’s just gorgeous. And a must-do is Gatlinburg’s Craft Trail – an 8-mile loop of regional handicrafts that includes artisan shops and food joints. Or course, my favorite was the “everything cherry” store. And wind around on the tracks of those woodsy, outdoor alpine coasters – and ev-erybody will have smiles on their faces. While driving over mountains, I considered life’s big bumps and how God carries us over them. There will al-ways be trials, temptations, pain, suffering, and situations that we won't be able to handle on our own. But when they come – and they will – as followers of Christ, God prom-ises always to be with us because He is always faithful. Isaiah 41:10 reads, “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” (NIV) And if we are faithful in return, we can do anything, and without faith, nothing is possible. In Matthew 17:20-21. when the disciples came to Jesus asking why they weren’t able to drive out demons, He answered, “Because you have so little faith. I tell you the truth. If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there’ and it will move. Nothing will be im-possible for you.” God has assured us of victory in life as well as over sin and death. In Isaiah 46:4, in contrast to the gods of Baby-lon, who were unable to rescue themselves, the Lord said, “Even to your old age and gray hairs I am he, I am he who will sustain you. I have made you and I will carry you; I will sustain you and I will rescue you.”Enjoy the stanza from Kurt Carr’s beautiful song – “For Every Mountain, You Brought Me Over.” “For every mountain, You brought me over,For every trial You've seen me through,For every blessing,Hallelujah, for this I give You praise.” CHEROKEE SWEET CORN PONE5 beaten eggs1 Tbsp. baking powder2 cups whole milk1 ½ cup water2 Tbsp. softened, salted butter1 ½ cups white cornmeal½ cup dried cranberries (optional)1 ½ tsp. sugar1¼ tsp. saltIn a mixer bowl, beat eggs with the baking powder until very light and fluffy.

DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, May 4, 2023 - B1Sports Carson Whisenhunt’s first full season in professional baseball is off to a magnificent start. He barely got his bags unpacked in San Jose before he was called up to High-A ball. Whisenhunt started the 2023 season on April 6 in Low-A for the San Jose Giants. On April 26, one day after his fourth start, he was promoted to the High-A Eugene Emeralds in Oregon. Brady Klopfer wrote: “Kyle Harrison may be the best lefthand-ed pitching prosect in baseball, but Carson Whisenhunt may be gunning for that title. Whisenhunt continues to be a strikeout artist, and on (April 25) paired it by being virtually unhittable, too.”In that April 25 outing, the By Brian PittsEnterprise Record In one of the most stirring Central Piedmont Conference championship matches Davie boys tennis has ever known, seniors Bryce Bailey and Burke Rosen-baum enjoyed the greatest ending imaginable to their CPC careers. In the doubles final in the CPC Tournament at Hanes Park in Winston-Salem on April 25, Davie’s duo faced Mt. Tabor’s Adam Cartwright and Landon Wyshner. Rosenbaum/Bailey were 17-2. Cartwright/Wyshner were undefeated, having dealt the only two losses to the Davie pair. Those doubles teams collided March 8, when Tabor prevailed 8-5. The teams locked up April 11, when Tabor survived 8-6 in a two-hour battle. Cartwright is the CPC Play-er of the Year, and he’s responsible for two of Rosenbaum’s three singles losses in his CPC career. Wyshner is the son of the Wake Forest women’s tennis coach. It was greatness against great-ness in the final, and what’s better than that? When the two-and-a-half-hour slugfest was finally in the books, Bailey and Rosenbaum had one heck of a story to tell 20 years from now - about a perfect day when they made amends and beat the mighty pair from Tabor. And they did it by the hair on their chinny chin chin: 7-6 (7-5), 7-6 (7-4). By Brian PittsEnterprise Record With Caleb Martin thriving as a sixth man, the Miami Heat pulled off one of the biggest series upsets in NBA playoff history in the first round against Milwaukee. The Heat beat the Bucks four games to one, marking just the sixth time that a No. 8 seed took out a No. 1. It was the first time a No. 1 seed did not win more than one game against a No. 8. Milwau-kee star Giannis Antetokounmpo missed two games with an injury, but Miami went 3-0 in the games in which he played. Martin was a stud off the bench, averaging 11.2 points, 5.2 re-bounds, 2.0 assists and 26.8 min-utes for the series. He nailed 19 of 30 shots and hit 7 of 16 3s. He scored 15, 15, 12, 12 and two points. In his 134 minutes on the court against Milwaukee, Miami outscored the Bucks by 50 points. Martin was a starter for 49 games. At the All-Star break, Miami acquired forward Kevin lefthander pitched four scoreless innings of one-hit ball. He struck out seven. In three of his four starts for San Jose, he held opponents to one or less runs. In 13.2 innings, he walked four, struck out 20 and put up a 3.29 ERA, which would have been much lower if not for one rough outing. If Whisenhunt keeps this up, he’ll probably move fast through the San Francisco Giants organi-zation. Klopfer wrote: “Not all of Whisenhunt’s outings have been dominant this year, but the overall performance has been. (The fact that he’s already in High-A ball) is impressive given that he’s only pitched in eight games as a pro.” Love. That’s when Martin became a reserve. In 28 straight games as a reserve, Martin is shooting 50.9 percent from the floor. “That’s the kind of X-factor that he is,” coach Erik Spoelstra said. “He has just a burst of energy and effort where you feel him immedi-ately. He was really good for us as a starter. But I think as a bench guy, it just gives us that instant change of energy that I think fits very well with that unit.”In Game 4, Miami wouldn’t have won without Martin, who played 44 of 48 fourth-quarter minutes in the first four games of the series. Miami was down 12 with 6:09 to go; it won by five as Martin played all but five seconds of the fourth, when he piled up 10 points, five rebounds, one assist and one steal. Martin nailed one of the game’s biggest shots following his offen-sive rebound at 3:43. He passed the ball, got it back and banged a jumper over 7-footer Antetokoun-mpo to cut Miami’s deficit to one. Miami would win 119-114. “Any way I can contribute,” Martin said. “Most of the time, I know it’s going to be on the of-fensive end. So to be able to come in and knock down timely shots when I needed to was big. I just felt comfortable in those moments.”Martin is rewarding Miami’s faith for resigning him to a fully guaranteed three-year deal worth 20.4 million last summer. Love said: “Honestly, he can start or come off the bench. He’s been incredible since I’ve been here. He does whatever the team needs for us to win. He’s getting out in transition, he’s guarding the team’s best player, he’s picking them up 94 feet, he’s hitting 3s, he’s getting extra buckets, he’s getting rebounds.”Spoelstra said: “Caleb, you can’t say enough about him. You need guys that are willing to sac-rifice, willing to dominate and be a star in their role. He’s also just a supreme competitor.”Miami advanced to play No. 5 New York in the second round. That series began April 30. The Sixth Man delivers Caleb Martin helps Heat upset Milwaukee They did it Bailey/Rosenbaum claim CPC tennis doubles title “To know these two have had your number and still come out and play with the confidence and swag that my guys did? Amazing,” coach Shane Nixon said. “After losing to them twice, it feels great,” Bailey said. “I’m always going to remember being a conference champion.”As expected, Rosenbaum/Bai-ley overwhelmed their first three obstacles. They won 10-0 over East Forsyth in the first round, 10-0 over Reynolds in the quar-terfinals and 10-2 over Reagan in the semifinals. That set up the tournament’s main event. Electricity was in the air when warmups for the doubles title match began. “For two weeks we’d been practicing and preparing for this match,” Nixon said. “We talked about the mental parts.”“Me and Bryce went and played in a couple of USTA tournaments to get ready for it,” Rosenbaum said. “We really wanted to win it bad. It’s fun playing them. I think they’re one of the best doubles teams in the state.”“We’ve been talking about the conference tournament the whole season,” Bailey said. “We were going to give it everything we had to be conference champions.”It was an incredible struggle that ended in breathless victory for the War Eagles. Please See Title - Page B5 By Brian PittsEnterprise Record Davie’s varsity baseball team could have cemented at least a share of second place in the Cen-tral Piedmont Conference with a home win over Glenn on April 25. It didn’t happen. Instead of separating itself from the pack, it suffered a jarring 12-2 loss in five innings. Ouch. The outcome was surprising - Davie had won nine of 10 meetings against the Bobcats - but also not surprising. We were reminded why the CPC is a madhouse in which anything can happen when the top six teams match up. “We just didn’t put things together,” coach Joey Anderson said. “We hit the ball hard quite a few times. Without that one inning (when Glenn scored eight runs), that game could have been totally different.” Whisenhunt promoted to High-A Davie stumbles into 3-way tie East Forsyth has locked up first place at 11-2. Davie, Reagan and West Forsyth entered the week tied for second at 9-4. Glenn improved to 7-6 in league play. Davie’s offense sputtered against 6-4 senior righthander Peyton Kowalski, who faced 19 batters in five innings. He permit-ted just three hits and walked one. The Bobcats controlled the whole game. In the first inning, they pulled off a double steal and took a 2-0 lead on a single. Davie got one back in the bot-tom of the first. Coy James dou-bled on Kowalski’s first offering, advanced on Parker Simmons’ bunt and scored on Davin Whita-ker’s groundout. Glenn got an unearned run in the second and later made it 4-1. Davie stayed alive by scratching for one in the fourth. Brady Mar-shall stole second, took third on a wild pitch and crossed the plate on an infield hit by Parker Aderhold. But Glenn quashed any hopes of a comeback by scoring eight fifth-inning runs on five walks, four hits and one error. Jaydon Holder came in with a 4-2 record and 1.44 ERA, having allowed seven earned runs in seven starts and eight walks in 34 innings. But his eighth start wasn’t nearly as sweet. He uncharacteris-tically walked four in 4.1 innings. In fact, all three of Davie’s arms struggled, walking nine and throwing 78 strikes in 147 pitches. On top of that, Kowalski made the offense look flimsy. James (2-3) had two of the three hits. Ader-hold went 1-2 as Glenn doubled Davie in hits (6-3). Davie also hurt itself with two errors. Although it was an upset loss for Davie, Glenn (13-10) is a dan-gerous squad. It had a 3-1 loss to Reagan, a 4-0 win over West For-syth and a 3-2 loss to East Forsyth.

The game closed the regular season and settled a score from the first meeting, when North beat Ellis 4-3. The Jaguars ambushed North in the early innings, scoring three runs in the first and four in the second. Forrest had a big-time game, pitching 6.2 dominant in-nings and homering for the third time this season. “Brandon pitched one heck of a game,” Ellis coach Mike Dinkins said. “And he Davie JV soccer coach Williams Boswell figures Reagan’s 5-0 win over Da-vie - the spread was 9-0 in the first meeting - was an unsatisfying margin for the Raiders, which means it was a pretty strong effort by the underdog War Eagles (1-8). “Although we had high-er hopes, we were more pleased with the outcome By Brian PittsEnterprise Record How about the Davie JV baseball team, which stayed hot last week and ran its winning streak to seven. Eight War Eagles pro-duced a hit and Hunter Day-walt was nearly perfect on the mound as Davie buried Golf, lacrosse, JV softball results• After finishing second in five straight Central Piedmont Conference meets, Davie’s golf team slipped to third in a match at Oak Valley on April 24. The less-than-stellar day - no one from Davie broke 40 - will likely prove inconsequential as the second-place War Eagles still left holding a comfortable 18-stroke advantage over third-place Reagan in the overall standings. While a 1-under 35 score earned medalist, three War Eagles tied for 11th with 40s: Cooper Drum, Walker Jones and Sean Coates. Colby Moore and James Walsh shot 42s for Davie. The team scoring: Reynolds 5-over 149, Reagan 156, Davie 162, Mt. Tabor 164, West Forsyth 169, East Forsyth 172. • In an upset loss, the Davie girls lacrosse team fell 12-8 at home to East Forsyth in the first round of the CPC Tournament on April 24. The fourth-seeded War Eagles had defeated East on March 16 and March 28. East, the No. 5 seed, lost 21-10 to Reynolds the next day in the semifinals. Davie (6-8 overall) still qualified for the state playoffs. • In the first round of the conference tournament on April 24, Davie boys lacrosse lost to West Forsyth for the third time, 13-9. Davie was seeded fifth, West fourth. Davie’s record sank to 4-10, but it did qualify for the state playoffs. In the semifinals, Reynolds crushed West 15-3. • Madison Lewis blasted the first homer of the season for Davie’s JV softball team, but it wasn’t enough to prevent a 6-4 loss at Reagan on April 24. Davie had the momentum when the game ended via the time limit. “Madison had a big home run to start our comeback,” coach Mike Foster said after Davie dipped to 7-5. “We just ran out of time. I truly believe if we had another inning, we would have won.”Glow golf, ladies league at Colin CreekColin Creek will hold a glow golf event on May 13. It will be a nine-hole par-3.

We were not being outplayed or forced to chase down at-tackers time and time again. I was quite satisfied that the girls kept the play in front of them.”Stella Frye led numerous attacks. Fuller Kate Holt had a near-miss off a rebound. “Stella made plays into space down the left side, but those attacks never evolved into clear opportunities in front of the goal,” he said. “Reagan’s central defense played a very disciplined game. “We continued to press the ball forward against a team we had essentially no offense against in our last meeting. Late in the game, it seemed the shutout might be broken, but (Holt’s) shot sailed just over the cross-bar.” JV soccer showing progress had the longest home run I’ve seen hit at Ellis. It was in the top of the trees in left field. (In his previous at-bat), he told me he missed it by this much (on a flyout to deep center). He held his fingers close together.”When Forrest isn’t pitch-ing, he’s playing shortstop. “His baseball IQ is prob-ably the best of anyone who’s come through our program,” Dinkins said. “And his grades are A’s and B’s, mostly A’s.”A sixth grader, third baseman Bowman Blakely, was a key contributor for Ellis. He went 2 for 4 with a bases-loaded triple in the second. “Plus, he made five de-fensive plays,” Dinkins said. “I think he’s started six games.” For North, it was far from an A-level game for a team that won 10 of 12. Tanner Steinour (1-3, RBI), Hayden Potts (1-2, RBI) and Jack Greer (1-2) had the only hits. “We got down early and made too many errors,” coach Trevor Gooch said. “We had too many strike-outs. We’ve got to choke up more with two strikes and put the ball in play. “I’m pleased we did not lay down and quit. We final-ly stopped the bleeding with some good pitching in relief and defense.”Despite the loss, three Forrest, Ellis blow past North in baseball action relievers did well for North. Ellis did not score against Ian Patton (1.2 innings), Noah Potts (2/3) and Alex Bowles (2/3). Notes: North (10-3) and Ellis (8-2) tied for second in the conference. ... Easton Sanders relieved Forrest in the seventh and recorded the final out. ... Dinkins said it could have been a shutout. “The two runs they scored should not have scored,” he said. “We dropped a rou-tine flyball and one of my infielders missed a ground-ball that he usually doesn’t miss.” JV baseball wins 7th straight visiting Glenn 15-0 in three innings on April 25. Davie’s eight hits were spread among Carson Queen (1-2, three RBIs), Larson Stem (1-3), Kason Stewart (1-2), Coston Colamarino (1-2), Daywalt (1-2, two RBIs), Eli Webber (1-1), Corbin Angus (1-1) and Gray Collins (1-1, three RBIs, triple). Daywalt threw three hit-less innings with one walk and three Ks. Davie 14, NS 6One day later in a non-conference game, Parker Davis shined at the plate and on the mound as Davie evened its record at 9-9 by overpowering North Stanly at home. In the third, Davie turned a 2-1 deficit into a 7-2 lead behind four hits, a walk and an error. The hits came from Queen, Stem, Daywalt and Angus. The Comets used four hits to chop Davie’s lead to 7-6 in the fourth. Davie, though, answered right back in its half of the fourth. Stewart, Davis, Daywalt and Webber came through with hits as Davie regained command at 10-6. For good measure, it poured across four more runs in the fifth. “When you start winning and the balls start falling in holes that they hadn’t fell in, you get used to it and it be-comes contagious,” varsity coach Joey Anderson said. “Then you keep digging, you keep fighting, you keep playing and most of the time it ends up pretty good for you.”Davie got two hits from Queen (2-3), Davis (2-2, three runs), Daywalt (2-4, three RBIs) and Collins (2-3, two steals). Davis also got it done as Davie’s third pitcher of the day. He held North to no runs over 2.2 innings as he walked one and fanned five. • ELEVATOR IN BUILDING• SECURED ACCESS• COMMUNITY SPACES• FITNESS CENTER• COMPUTER ROOM • PRIVATE PATIOS• SPACIOUS FLOORPLANS• W/D CONNECTIONS• HANDICAP ACCESSIBLE• AND MUCH MORE! 336-751-0052 891 YADKINVILLE ROAD MOCKSVILLE, NC 27028 MANAGED BY EXCEL PROPERTY MGMT., INC. 1004 Bullard Ct., Ste. 106, Raleigh, NC 27615 • 919.878.0522 RENT & INCOME RESTRICTIONS APPLY Applicant must meet age and incomerequirements as set forth by the NCHFA program Senior Living Apartments in Mocksville Age 50+ WITH Disability or 55+ WITHOUT Disability Join our waiting list NOW for future openings!

Davie American Little League Spotlight I have had one dan-gerous encounter with an animal crossing the road while I was on a highway. It was 30-some years ago, and at 6 a.m., I was heading east on US 64 between the tiny eastern North Caroli-na towns of Creswell and Columbia, headed to Man-teo to fish for trout and red drum with bass pro David Dudley, then doubling as a saltwater guide.An approaching vehi-cle caused me to flick off my high-beams and go to low-beams (headlights), and before I could get back to high beams, a doe deer appeared out of nowhere, heading south to north, al-most straddling the yellow lines in the center of the road, maybe 50 feet in front of me. Instinctively, I swerved right to miss her – I did – but when I jerked the steer-ing wheel back left, aiming to get off the shoulder and back on the asphalt, my old GMC Jimmy started to spin. I tried to correct and found myself sliding backwards, eastbound, in the westbound lane, before sliding all the way off the highway and into a watery ditch, the old SUV flipping up on the passenger side.Some prison guards who had just gotten off the late shift knocked on the driv-er’s side window about the same time I got out of the seatbelt. I crawled through the window, grabbed the helping hands and hopped down onto dry ground. The deer got away scot free. We don’t need to talk about the cottonmouth water mocca-sin we dragged out from under the passenger’s seat when I pressure-washed the interior and exterior of the vehicle an hour or so later after a short tow to a used-car lot where I refilled my oil, transmission fluid and power-steering fluid reser-voirs.My passenger side win-dow was broken by the rear-view mirror being slammed into it. The pas-senger side of the fender and door were wrinkled up pretty good, but other than that, the old tank survived. I still got to Manteo – albeit a few hours late, and Dud-ley and I fished for reds un-der the Herbert C. Bonner Bridge across Oregon Inlet and later caught speckled trout in a marsh pond near Manns Harbor.I thought about that pre-dawn accident the other day when a press release arrived via email from the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission, announcing that it planned to continue to work with the N.C. De-partment of Transportation for the purpose of making the roads safer for automo-biles and whitetails.How? The two agencies have partnered to locate and build 26 wildlife crossing structures across the state, most of them underpasses that allow wildlife – par- ticularly bears and white-tailed deer to cross – under highways in places where they have traditionally crossed or where the hab-itat pinches them into a crossing area. Those un-derpasses involve fencing along the sides of the road well off the pavement fun-neling animals along the highway and through the underpasses.I believe there are now a handful of wildlife under-passes along US 64 in the eastern part of the state – I noticed them on my trip to the Outer Banks last fall. If you think a deer-auto acci-dent will do thousands of dollars of damage to a sedan or pickup truck, imagine what a collision between a car and a 400-pound black bear might do to both par-ties. A passage corridor along Cold Springs Creek and Harmon Den Road under I-40 in Haywood County exists, and three more underpasses are on I-140 south of Wilmington in Brunswick County. The Commission and NCDOT have another 11 projects in various stages of planning and design.NCDOT reported 20,331 wildlife-vehicle collisions reported on North Caroli-na highways in 2019, and a 2021 estimate puts 7% of all vehicle crashes involv-ing strikes with animals, almost half of them after dark from October through December. Help is on the way from, of all places, the feder-al government. Included in the infrastructure bill passed by Congress in 2021 was $350 million for a wildlife crossings pi-lot program that will fund projects in all 50 states. According to the Commis-sion, the state legislature could allocate resources to wildlife passages that could be leveraged to match the available federal funding.And maybe, just maybe, the next time a big doe gets ready to cross a highway in front of me when I’m haul-ing butt, headed to Avon to catch speckled trout, she’ll cross under my vehicle through an underpass. A trail camera captures deer crossing a highway through an underpass the NC DOT built to lower the number of animal-vehicle crashes. - Photo courtesy NC Wildlife Resources Commission DAVIE COUNTYSPORTS PHOTOS by Marnic Lewis • High School Sports • Youth Sports • Rec.

Then Davie gave Reagan a run. The War Eagles are doing stellar work on defense, which is not anything new. If they could just find some Davie pushes East, Reagan in close soccer losses offense, their spot in the CPC standings would look much different. Coach Corbin Kopetzky remained positive following 1-0 and 2-0 losses last week. He knows they’re giving it everything they’ve got. “They’re great people, great students,” he said. “They work very hard and they’re great players. But we’re in a tough conference. Sometimes you’ve got to take small victories. The small victory (against East Forsyth) was we played with them for almost the full 80 minutes.”Davie hosted East on April 24. East is tied with Reagan for second in the CPC at 7-2. Davie is tied for fifth. Davie pushed East to the very end before losing 1-0, the goal coming at 78 minutes. It was closer than the first meeting, which was 3-0. “(The goal) was a per-fect run and a perfect ball,” Kopetzky said. “We held them for 77 minutes. It’s unfortunate and I hate it, but it’s progress that I’ll take.”He gave credit to mid-fielder Emily Garner and the wrecking crew on defense. “(East’s coach) said we’re so hard to break down because we’re so strong defensively,” he said. Reagan 2, Davie 0Two days later in Pfafftown, Davie held Rea-gan scoreless until eight minutes into the second half. The Raiders’ second goal came on a penalty kick. How stubborn have the War Eagles’ been? Five is the largest margin of defeat all season. This was the fifth loss to a CPC rival by one or two goals. They are that close to breaking through and contending with the top teams in the league. “It’s hard to walk away mad at a loss when you play like we did,” Kopetz-ky said after Davie fell to 4-8-2 overall and 3-6-1 in the CPC. “We showed up at Reagan with the same energy and same intensity. They battled and did what they were supposed to.” Softball secures 3rd in CPC mont Conference by beating Reagan for the 26th time in 26 tries in Pfafftown on April 24. “We took care of busi-ness,” coach Nathan Handy said after a 13-4 wipeout. “We hit the ball really well.”In a two-run second, Hannah Steinour doubled and Leah Grimes singled. In a three-run third, Syd-ney Dirks slammed a two-run homer and Steinour smacked another double. Ashley Bledsoe doubled as Davie (8-4 CPC) scored one in the fourth. In the fifth, when the lead swelled to 9-0, Steinour, Riley Potts and Raelyn Lankford had hits. The Raiders, who were trying to tie Davie for third but finished fourth at 7-6, rallied for four runs in the fifth. But they wouldn’t get another hit, and Davie kept raking in the sixth and seventh. The 4-5 hitters in the order, Dirks and Steinour, were the offensive stars. Steinour went 4-5 with three runs and two RBIs. Dirks went 2-3 with three runs and three RBIs. “Hanna is probably the biggest surprise of any-body this year,” Handy said. “She’s going to be a big asset the next two years.”Davie’s 13-hit attack in-cluded one each from Jaydn Davis, Summer Simpson and Carleigh Croom. Potts cruised in the cir-cle, working a three-hit shutout for 6.2 innings. She faced 24 batters, or four over the minimum. Addie Hen-drix, who is suffering from a hurt shoulder, pitched 1/3 of an inning. Davie 18, Parkland 0One day later at home, the War Eagles (14-6-1 overall, 9-4 CPC) made quick work of the 2-10 Mustangs, the game ending after two and a half innings. It was Senior Night for three girls who will play at the collegiate level next year: Dirks (Western Car-olina), Grimes (Mars Hill) and Simpson (Appalachian State). “I don’t think Leah’s ever been mad and showed it,” Handy said. “Summer and Syd, each one brings something different to the team. We’re sad to see them graduating, but glad they have earned themselves opportunities to continue to play.”The best part for Handy was seeing three girls in the circle who had not pitched all season. Lankford threw the first inning in her first mound action since 2022. Simpson hurled the second and Dirks the third. They had never pitched in a varsi-ty game before this. The trio of arms gave up one hit and racked up nine Ks. “It’s a long season and you’ve got to figure out ways for our girls to have fun,” Handy said. “I told Summer before the game to warm up to pitch, and she thought I was joking. Syd said she wanted to pitch and I said: ‘Hey, go for it.’ I said: ‘If you walk them loaded, you’ve got to pull yourself out of it. There’s no help coming.’ It was fun. I’ve not had a lot to do with their softball careers, but it’s been an enjoyable two years with them.” Todd Barnhardt Infinity Insurance Group LLC 945 Yadkinville Rd Mocksville, NC 27028-2033 Todd@iignc.com 336-936-0023 Looking for savings on auto insurance?

DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, May 4, 2023 - B5 Continued From Page B1Nixon said: “(Wyshner) has got a serve that is just impossible to deal with. (Ta-bor’s pair is) a phenomenal doubles team. There is liter-ally five points difference in those two tiebreakers com-bined. The tension was real, the emotions raw. There were at least two games in the second set where there were more than six deuces, and we won both.”Rosenbaum: “It was as close as it could get in those two sets. I was exhausted. I just hugged Bryce for like three minutes after we won. I just laid on his shoulder. I was so happy we did it.”Rosenbaum said Bailey made unreal plays. “Bryce served really good, especially in the fi-nal,” he said. “We held his serve a lot, he hit great returns and he hit big shots in both tiebreakers that won us the set. I would say his serve is what helps us the most because he can hit his first serve really hard. When he makes his first serve, we usually win the point. His net game is pretty good, too. And his returns were on fire Title ... Continued From Page B1 Davie 12, NS 3One day after failing to flip the switch and play up to their desired level, the War Eagles were firing on all cylinders in a home nonconference game against North Stanly. It was a solid win over a quality 2-A opponent. The Comets are 15-8 overall and 10-1 in their league. “Before the game, we Stumbles ... talked about how many guys we had left on base,” An-derson said after Davie im-proved to 13-8. “We swung the bats real well. We had real good approaches with people on base.”Davie destroyed North in the first two innings. In a five-run first, James, Sim-mons, Whitaker, Aderhold, Jackson Sink and Drew Krause banged out hits. In a five-run second that made it 10-0, Davie got hits from Ty Miller, Simmons, Marshall, Sink and Krause. Davie kept pounding away until it had 18 hits. The biggest weapons on this day were Sink (3-4) and Krause (3-4). “We have people shifting on us because all we’ve been doing is pulling the ball, and Jackson hit two balls hard the opposite way,” Anderson said. “Drew is not flashy. He’s not hitting balls to the wall. He’s going to put a solid at-bat together every time. A lot of times he just puts it in play and it seems to find a hole. That’s Drew in a nutshell.”Davie got two hits from Simmons (2-4), Whitaker (2-4, two runs, three RBIs), Marshall (2-3), Aderhold (2-3, two RBIs) and Miller (2-4). James (1-3, two runs) and Cooper Bliss (1-4) had one apiece. Davie got effective pitch-ing from both Marshall and Connor Berg. In his second start of the year, Marshall struck out seven in three innings. Berg worked four score-less innings with no walks and five Ks. His ninth relief appearance yielded his third win. “When you watch Brady, you’d think he’s throwing 150 miles an hour because he exerts so much energy,” Anderson said. “Brady is a strikeout pitcher. I’m sure he sleeps well after he pitches because he goes after it and he does it every single pitch. Connor has been working on some things, and he did what he needed to do.” (in the final).”There is nothing to be said about Rosenbaum that hasn’t been said a hundred times before. His stature in Davie tennis lore only grew as he became a three-time CPC champion. His freshman season was ru-ined by the pandemic. As a sophomore, he captured the singles title. As a junior, he teamed up with cousin C Crenshaw to take the dou-bles crown by a combined score of 44-4. “His tennis IQ is insane,” Bailey said of his running mate. “He knows where to put the ball. Also, he gets to everything.”Notes: The top five fin-ishers advanced to the Mid-west Regional. Rosenbaum/Bailey will carry an 18-2 record to the Friday/Satur-day regional at Cox Mill. ... Crenshaw showed up at Hanes Park to support his former teammates. “C was getting me and Bryce fired up,” Rosenbaum said. “We needed that support. I felt like he was on the court with me again.” ... You can’t say enough about Bailey’s improvement over four years. As a freshman, he didn’t know if he’d ever crack the top six. Now he’s headed to Belmont Abbey to play tennis. “I really did not think I was going to be this good,” he said. “That sounds cocky, but I definitely didn’t think I’d go to college for tennis. I was just playing because I was decent at it.” ... Sophomore Hayden Key lost 10-5 to East Forsyth, sophomore Zach Hill lost 10-0 to Reynolds and senior Jack Williams/sophomore Sean Lane lost 10-1 to West Forsyth in doubles. “What a great kid,” Nixon said of Williams. “I am very proud of his manager-to-team-cap-tain movement in four years. Sean is a great kid and I look forward to him being a part of what we are doing going forward. Zach, there is no shame in losing (to Reyn-olds’ No. 1 player). Hayden showed why I am looking forward to the rest of his career. He drew the No. 1 seed from East Forsyth and made a fight out of it. The fi-nal score will not show how close it was. There could be great things in store from him in a Davie uniform.” Houses, Decks, Driveways Gutter Cleaning, Roof Wash Senior Parker Aderhold drops down a bunt in a nonconference game at North Davidson.

DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD Thursday, May 4, 2023 ‑ B9 Avery Hicks had this idea that he wanted to be a line-man - climbing poles to help keep the electricity flowing.He mentioned this idea to Alyse Wooldridge, career planning coordinator for Davie County Schools.She had seen a video of a “lineman” school, put on by an electrical cooperative in eastern North Carolina. She mentioned this to Jennifer Asbury, a human resource development specialist with EnergyUnited.Wooldridge had little else to do, as Asbury “ran with it.”On April 21, the result was Davie’s first lineman’s school, where EnergyUnit-ed employees guided 12 Da-vie High students through some of the duties of a line-man, from working high up in a bucket truck, to work-ing a digger derrick truck to demonstrations on line work - a bit closer to the ground.“We want to show the students there are opportu-nities out there where they can make a good career,” Asbury said. “This helps give them some hands-on experience to make their de-cision.”That decision could pay off well, she said.Almost all who finish En-ergyUnited’s 10-14 week lineman school have job offers upon graduation, Asbury said. Entry level employees make $25 per hour, and those who stay on the job can earn as much as $100,000 a year as a jour-ney lineman, which can take seven years or more. The corner of Valley Road and Salisbury Street was busy last month with EnergyUnited lineman teaching the trade to 12 Davie High School Students. Davie High students learn the ‘lineman’ trade EnergyUnited lineman Brian Koontz talks with Alyse Wool- dridge, Davie High career planning coordinator. Alex Loeza, Jacob Moore, Brandon Wood, Justin Sink, Avery Hicks, and Griffin Ferrell learn from EnergyUnited lineman Ike Walters and Toby Lowthorpe. Parker Ferrell, Isaac Parker, Cody Leath, Rylan Koontz, Jaden Conner learn from Austin McCurdy. Rylan Koontz learns how to operate the digger derrick truck from EnergyUnited’s Derek Abendroth. Jacob Moore watches as Brandon Wood practices what he was just taught.

Craig attended Davie County High School and in 1943 at the age of 19 he was drafted into the Army Air Corps as a part of the U.S. 5th Air Force. He complet-ed basic training in Atlantic City, New Jersey and Riv-erside, California. On Octo-ber 28th, 1943, he shipped out from San Francisco with his unit, the 1st Fighter Con-trol Squadron, aboard the S.S. Cape San Juan troop transport ship heading to Townsville, Australia. Nor- mally troop transports sail in a convoy, but the Cape San Juan traveled alone. On November 11, 1943, at approximately 5:30 am, Craig remembers explosions and fires and the captain call-ing for abandon ship saying, “this isn’t a drill”. The ship had been struck by a tor-pedo from a Japanese sub-marine and was dead in the water. The attack happened about 300 miles southeast of Fiji. This year will mark the 80th anniversary of that day. Craig remembers diesel fuel everywhere and men covered in it. With ocean swells of 10 – 15 feet, he managed to get onto an United States Army Air Corps 1943 — 1945 overcrowded lifeboat with about 20 others noting there wasn’t enough lifeboats for everyone. The men were sitting ducks if the subma-rine had surfaced, eventually a plane from New Zealand circled overhead to prevent an attack on the survivors. Sadly, the sharks got a lot of men from the lifeboats but not the one he was on. Wit-nesses recount After 36 hours in the raft, Craig remembers a U.S. De-stroyer, a minesweeper and a sub chaser arriving on the scene and was picked up by the minesweeper. News re-ports stated that among the American vessels in the res-cue was the Edwin T. Mere-dith. A sea plane also partici-pated in the rescue despite the dangerous ocean swells. After the rescue, Craig was treated in a Fiji hospital for several weeks. His unit eventually went on to Camp Ascot in Brisbane, Austra-lia then on to New Guinea and the Philippines. The 1st Fighter Control Squadron participated in the U.S. inva- sion of Leyte Island in October 1944. Craig received the Purple Heart medal and served his country until the war ended in September 1945. He was discharged as Private First Class on December 8, 1945. In his civilian life, Craig was married to Marie Green for 52 years, until her pass-ing in 2000. They had 3 chil-dren, 4 grandchildren and 1 great grandchild. He worked as a machinist for R.J. Reyn-olds Tobacco Company hav-ing retired in 1983 after 36 years of service. The book “Saga of the 1st Fighter Control Squad-ron” by Tom Gauthier details the events of Craig’s unit and can be found on Amazon.
