Very few of those remain, but I did get three more on the weekend of May 6/7.My first visit was Statesville, one that I knew would be enjoyable. The legislature decided to divide Rowan County in 1788 and States-ville was established as the county seat of Iredell in 1789. Iredell was named for James Iredell, a justice in the first Supreme Court. States-ville was a North Carolina leader in production of tobacco and tobacco products, plus blended whiskey.The old Iredell County court-house in Statesville was built in 1899 and is under-going a major outside renovation with scaffolding all around. An earlier courthouse and post office, later used as city hall was across the street, having The Colonel Silas Sharpe house in Statesville, constructed be- tween 1860 and 1861. - Photo by David Freeze Statesville, always an enjoyable visit By Mike BarnhardtEnterprise Record It’s one of those decisions that rarely gets any attention.But the most recent appoint-ment to the Davie County Li-brary Board of Trustees has caused quite the stir, with cur-rent trustees at odds with coun-ty commissioners.Last week, the commission-ers approved Brent Ward as the newest member of the trustees, filling out a term to 2024 left by Carole Demmy, who moved and resigned.The board of trustees rec-ommended Jane McAllister, former library director, for the trustee position. Ward is a for-mer Mocksville Town Board member.“We, the library board of trustees, feel that you, the county commissioners, plan to set a dangerous precedent tonight by voting to appoint someone to our board without our recommendation,” Kristin Mears, board of trustees vice chair, told commissioners. She said the trustees didn’t even know that Ward was being considered until they saw the agenda for the meeting.“Our bylaws state that you will appoint people to our board from recommendations we submit and approve,” she said, mentioning a similar sit-uation last year, when commis-sioners changed their nominee in favor of one approved by the trustees.That change, Mears said, ac-knowledged the commission-ers’ acceptance of the trustee’s bylaws.

The mayor and council di- rected Town Manager Andrew Meadwell to meet with repre-sentatives of the sports facil-ities to address the issues that arose that weekend. That oc-curred on Friday, May 5, with Cross and Meadwell meeting with representatives from NC Fusion, RISE, WinMock, Da-vie County Sheriff’s Office and the Davie County Fire Marshal’s Office to get more information and seek solutions.Cross included a statement from NC Fusion: “On behalf of Truist Sports Park, we recog-nize the events hosted by NC Fusion and RISE Indoor Sports this past weekend contributed to an extremely poor experi-ence for all.”Factors mentioned included attendance for the soccer event being much larger than antici-pated, resulting in inadequate parking and operational sup- port; certain grass parking lots being closed due to significant rain leading up to the event; not having enough sheriff’s depu-ties and staff directing traffic on Saturday; and the need for better communication from all in a coordinated effort.Cross said that the parties involved are clearly aware of the concerns and working to make improvements “as they impact our residents, business-es and to the visitors who are critical to the success of these sporting events.”Cross then added: “We all understand that there will be times when traffic is heavi-er than normal, there will be events at any of our several venues – Truist Sports Park, RISE, WinMock, Bermuda Run Country Club or even our Please See Traffic - Page 12 2 ‑ DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, May 18, 2023Editorial Page The Enterprise Record welcomes letters from its readers on topics of local, state, national or international issues.

BarnetteSeeing all of the graduation posts at this time of year, especially those from my alma mater, Catawba College, takes my memory back to my school days there.The beginning of my first year was nothing short of traumatic! As an only child, I was used to my own room and a lot of privacy. On move-in day I met my 2 room-mates for the first time. We were to all live in a tiny room with 2 bunk beds and a single bed. We had a tiny closet and shared a bathroom with the girls in the next room. So all of that took much getting used to. Very early, I realized that if I wanted a good place to study I should go to the library, which became my home away from home for all 4 years.Luckily, I was a born learner and a product of parents who read to me from the very beginning. As such I soaked up the material in English and American literature, British and U.S. history, philosophy, and art and music appreci-ation.Most of my professors were excellent, but my 2 favor-ites were Dr. Raymond Jenkins and Dr. Elisabeth Scran-ton.When Dr. Jenkins, Professor of English, walked in the room, he greeted us always with a big smile that made us want to learn. In his class he also encouraged us to memorize lines in plays and poetry. Then at intervals we had what he called “jewel matches.” They worked exactly like spelling bees! Although I was very shy, I neverthe-less was often the last one standing and thus the winner! Apparently, I made a good impression on him because he asked me to be his assistant. For $5.00 a week I generally read his English 101 papers and did other little things like write notes on the board if he were going to be out of class for any reason. He gets all the credit for encouraging me to go to grad school also!My history teacher, Dr Scranton, was a tall, aristocratic lady type. She was single and must have devoted her life to teaching. She was very strict and required much. Many of the girls were afraid of her, but my reaction was to study hard so as not to be embarrassed by not knowing the an-swer to a question.Although I did not realize it then, my studies in so many areas at a liberal arts college opened my eyes to ideas and possibilities that I had never imagined. With the encour-agement from so many great teachers, I learned to read deeply, to comprehend, and to form ideas and write them down. My mind expanded, and I learned to think. There is no greater gift, and in teaching I passed along not only knowledge but also encouraged my students to learn, to imagine, and to create. Teachers really do affect eternity, as Henry Adams said so long ago. Food DriveBy E. BishopAt least six days a week, letter carriers see firsthand the needs of the community they work in. Traditionally, not only do carriers deliver the mail but they provide a com-munity service by being involved when something needs to be done, whether it is collecting funds for a charity like the Muscular Dystrophy Association, watching over their elderly patrons through the Carrier Alert program, assisting the American Red Cross during times of disaster, or rescuing victims of fires, crime, and other unfortunate events. These are great areas of involvement for any em-ployee of any company, but the one that stands out for let-ter carriers in the month of May is the Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive Day, which was held Saturday, May 13th.Once again, cartoonist Jeff Keane provided special art-work to promote the drive for this 31st annual event. The drive is held each year on the second Saturday in May, which falls right before Mother’s Day. The reason being that the food banks suggested it be held in the spring when the stock of food donated during the winter holidays was starting to run low. As a retired letter carrier, I remember those days well when we had to deliver the mail and pick up the donated food left by our patrons. It was a tiring yet fun day. The cards (and sometimes plastic bags) were a pain to deliv-er several days ahead of the drive. Some complained of course, but we would remind ourselves of how lucky we were to have a job with food on the table and that the less fortunate may be just down on their luck or have no family support. For whatever reason, someone may need a little extra help sometimes. Being involved in picking up that food on that Saturday made us feel like we made a differ-ence.All the postal patrons that donated food this past Sat-urday for the Letter Carrier Food Drive - THANK YOU. You will be making a difference, especially for the sum-mer months when children are out of school. Food do-nated in Davie County will be given to the Storehouse for Jesus, which is a non-profit Christian ministry given freely to those in need. For all those involved in this concerted effort, feel free to consider yourself “showering motherly love” to your community. Go Ask MammaBy Stephanie Williams DeanAll my life when there were things I wanted to know, I’d just ask you, Mamma. But there were things you never talked about – and I never asked. I wish I had. Like why did you cry in church? Maybe you thought of your baby sister, Pearl, who died shortly after birth. Or you had memories of your oldest brother, Frank, who caught pneumonia and died in his ear-ly 20s. Or maybe thoughts of brother, Buck, a pilot who was missing in action, lost at sea, and later, when his body was recovered and returned, and his funeral was held. Maybe that’s why you cried.Or it could have been the memories of your younger sister, Sarah, who died of a ruptured appendix – because with 13 children, your dad couldn’t afford to pay anoth-er doctor’s bill. They waited too long, and infection set in. Just one year apart, you and Sarah shared a bedroom, sleeping in the same bed. I wish I’d asked you why you cried. Or maybe it was having to watch your parents suffer the loss of children – and your family was never the same. Maybe it was because your mother had to go stay at the hospital because she was having another “spell,” and as one of the younger children, you didn’t get the care and love you needed. Your older sister, Rene, had to take care of you and your little sister, Hattie. Maybe that’s why you cried. Or it could be because you lived in such a small home that so many had to share a bedroom – and you couldn’t wait to leave that place, but later, had only one wish - and that was to go back home, again. I wish I’d asked you why you cried.Maybe thinking of your sister, Edna’s young daughter, Tenra Belle, when killed by a drunk driver who hit her head on. Or about your sister Harriet’s newborn grand-baby was accidentally dropped, and the baby girl died of head injuries. Maybe you cried remembering your sister, Virginia’s daughter, Boo, was diagnosed with bone cancer and passed away so young. Or memories of your remain-ing brother, Leon’s, boy who was killed during the Viet Nam War when two friendly helicopter blades collided, and shrapnel punctured his heart. Maybe that’s why you cried. Even if I’d thought to ask you – I might have been too young to understand. I was just a child myself. Life leaves no one unscathed. We find our own ways to deal with pain-ful memories and losses of life. But I wish I’d asked you, Mamma. Following are some personal reflections of Melissa Wells, who has transitioned through the mental health sys-tem to become a peer support specialist.The first time I can think back to and realized I was experiencing depression was after my mother died. I was about to turn 10 years old. The world became a scary place without her. The days were long and dreary. Nothing in-terested me anymore. My beloved yellow banana bicycle now laid in the yard rusting.The bicycle that my mother said I would ride all day. Not wanting to eat, watch television or sleep. I outgrew my clothes due to weight gain from not being active. The nightmares were awful. My young brain was just trying to figure out where my mother was.I needed someone to talk to about my mother’s death. My father and I lived alone together for several months. He started drinking heavily and staying out at bars all hours of the night. So he was not emotionally available. Neither was the family I was close to. Death wasn’t some-thing to be talked about.My father eventually got caught drunk driving. This was not his first arrest for DUI. In the end he decided to run from the law and basically abandoned me.I was left to live with my maternal aunt, her son and my grandmother. Just another dysfunctional household. Of course my depression worsened. Crying myself to sleep countless nights hoping God would call me home. I tried reaching out to my aunt, telling her I didn’t want to live anymore. She told me it was the cowards way out and that An old friend called on Monday.He’s the kind of guy who after talking with him a few minutes, you feel better about yourself and the place you live. He just has that kind of way about him.Basically, it’s honesty. And you can hear it in his voice. He cares.Many of you - especially those with ties to Downtown Mocksville for quite a few years - may remember Jona-than Wishon. Before he became sick (He’s faced death more than once, including recently.) did more to promote bluegrass music than anyone in these parts have ever done, through this newspaper, radio station WDSL, and most importantly, through his personality.I can still see him walking through town, going from door to door. It would take quite a while, because folks liked to talk to Jonathan. He wouldn’t be there for himself, but to promote a community activity, usually involving bluegrass or classic country music.He was tireless in his efforts.Although no longer able to perform those duties, guess what?Jonathan Wishon still cares about Mocksville. He still cares about local music. That’s why he called. He wanted to know that things were going fine in town. I’m just glad I didn’t have to lie to him when I told him that things - especially with local music - are going great.He laid a great foundation.Jonathan, in his own words, is also doing great. He is living at a Clemmons facility, recovering from his latest life-threatening bout with strep and sepsis. “I was dying and I didn’t know it,” he said.“I’m doing OK, staying busy. I can get up and walk. My strength is coming back strong. I’ve been walking straighter.”That’s good news, Jonathan. So is the fact that he’s able to attend services at No Creek Primitive Baptist Church, where he is now a proud member. He says he does well getting into and out of the church and pews without causing delays, although inclines are tough for him to manage.And yes, he keeps up with what’s going on as best he can, even asking about one of the newer restaurants he recently visited, Mocksville Family Restaurant. It gets a thumbs up from Jonathan.And Davie County gives you a thumbs up, Jonathan. We thank you for everything you’ve done, but keep checking up on us. We need that.Perhaps a good way to describe a call from Jonathan is with the words to the song, “Old Friends” by the late great Guy Clark.It’s like when you’re making conversationAnd you’re trying not to screamAnd you’re trying not to tell ‘emYou don’t care what they meanAnd you’re really feeling fragileAnd you really can’t get homeAnd you really feel abandonedBut you want to be alone [Chorus]Old Friends they shine like diamondsOld Friends you can always callOld Friends Lord you can’t buy ‘emYou know it’s Old Friends after all And when the house is emptyAnd the lights begin to fadeAnd there’s nothing to protect youExcept the window shadeAnd it’s hard to put your fingerOn the thing that scares you mostAnd you can’t tell the differenceBetween an angel and a ghost [Chorus]Old Friends they shine like diamondsOld Friends you can always callOld Friends Lord you can’t buy ‘emYou know it’s Old Friends after all - Mike Barnhardt Time to Talk About Mental Health Peer support an important step was all that ever came of it. I lived in this household about five or six years. During my stay I tried reaching out to a counselor. She asked me do you have food to eat? I said yes, even though we only ate once a day. Then she asked do you have clothes? Of course I said yes.Lastly she asked do you have a roof over your head. Yet another yes. So I knew this was going to lead me to no where land. Things transpired and I moved in with another mater-nal aunt and her husband. Guess what? Yet another dys-functional home. By this time I was driving. Some how I DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, May 18, 2023 - 3 By Betty Etchison WestEnterprise Record It is said that “it is hard to make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear.” It may be equally as hard to make a cultured young man out of the tough Texas youngster, but the mother of Lyndon Baines Johnson sure tried.Rebekah Baines was born to Joseph Wilson Baines and Ruth Amant Huffman Baines on June 26, 1881. Rebekah grew up in a nice town home where the people were a bit more cultured than were some of the Texas cowboys. Rebekah went to col-lege. She attended three schools, Baylor University, where her grandfather was once president; the Univer-sity of Texas; and Baylor Female College. She was trained in elocution and journalism. Sam Johnson was a tall young Texan who may have been charming, but who was a bit rough around the edges. It is somewhat of a puzzle as to why Rebekah and Sam were attracted to each other since they seemed so different in so many ways. It is known that Re-bekah was interested in politics, which was rare for a girl, and Sam was inter-ested in politics. He was or would become a member of the Texas State Legislature. Politics was one interest they had in common. Whatever caused Re-bekah Baines and Sam Johnson to get interested in each other may not be important. The important thing is that attraction led to a marriage. Rebekah Baines married Samuel Ealy Johnson Jr. on Aug. 20, 1907, when she was 26. The marriage was some-times a rocky one because those two seems to have such different values. Sam and Rebekah moved to a “dog-trot” cottage, which was a house with a breeze-way that separated two liv-ing areas, on Sam’s father’s farm near Stonewall, Texas, which is in the hill region. Bonnie Angelo’s book, “First Mothers, The Wom-en Who Shaped the Pres-idents,” describes the hill region of Texas: “The Hill Country of mid-Texas is not like the rest of the state. It separates the plains of the north Texas from that gullied brush country of the south, and its climate combines the worst of both Presidential Mothers parts. In winter, winds slashed down from the north, finding the small-est chink in a house, over-whelming fireplaces trying to warm a room. In summer smothering heat drained the energy of man and beast and parched the land to a sullen brown.” In addition to living in a small house with no con-veniences, Rebekah had to deal with an environment that was often hostile.Rebekah, having grown up in town, was offended by the coarse language and manners she encountered after the move to the farm. Rebekah is quoted in Ange-lo’s book as saying, “I was determined to overcome circumstances instead of letting them overwhelm me. I realized that life is real and earnest and not the charming fairy tale which I had so long dreamed.” That real and earnest statement sounds like Longfellow’s poem, “The Village Black-smith” which was pub-lished ca. 1840 and with which Rebekah was proba-bly familiar.The first son of Sam and Rebekah Johnson was born on a stormy night; a night so stormy the doctor, who lived 20 miles away, could not get to the house. If he had gotten close, he could not have gotten across the Pedernales River, which was flooded as it never had. A midwife delivered the baby boy. From the time that her first son was born, Rebekah was deter-mined that he must have “a proper start in the world.” That son, Lyndon Baines Johnson, would get such a start from his mother. Note that Rebekah clung to her maiden name by giving it to her son as his middle name—that was somewhat reminiscent of Sara Delano Roosevelt, who named her son Franklin Delano Roos-evelt, thereby hanging on to the name Delano.Quoting from the An-gelo book, “The Baines’ style of life, as Rebekah remembered it, was consid-erably grander than that of the Johnson’s. She married down in terms of fortune and position, and would make up for that by raising her children with Baines values and standards.” Rebekah taught Lyn-don to read long before he started to school. She de-cided that Lyndon should take violin lessons as part of the effort to make him a bit more cultured. Lyndon’s lack of talent and interest put an early end to that. Then, Rebekah tried dancing lessons for Lyn-don. He teased the girls in the class so much that he got ejected. Lyndon was known as quite a dancer after he was in the White House—he must have learned somewhere. Rebekah did not have much luck with making Lyndon a more cultured individual in some ways, but she worked with him on his elocution and was a bit more successful. Lyn-don was chosen to recite a poem at the end-of-school program. That boy stood up and spoke every word correctly with the right emphasis. You can bet that Rebekah Johnson was the proudest parent at that program. After he became President, Lyndon said that he needed his mother to help him with his speeches. The Johnson family moved from Stonewall to the small town, Johnson City, Texas. Their fortunes waxed and waned, but times seemed better when they lived in town. Lyndon finished high school, and, of course, his mother want-ed him to go to college. Can you believe that instead of doing what his mother had always wanted and dreamed of him doing, Lyndon and three other boys got an old model-T and set out for California? Rebekah’s was heart-bro-ken. She had other children to whom she had to be con-cerned, but the son that she expected to be so success-ful had totally “run off the track.” Once in California, the boys found as the song said, “All the gold in California was in the bank in some-body else’s name” was true. In less than two years, Lyn-don headed back to Texas. He still was not ready to go back to school. He went to work on a road crew. Af-ter several months of hard work, he came to his moth-er and said: “I’ve tried it with my hands. If you will help me, I am ready to try it with my head.” Almost before Lyndon finished the sentence, Re-bekah was on the telephone with the President of South-west Texas State Teachers College. The President promised Lyndon a job, if he enrolled there. Lyndon’s mother did everything nec-essary to get him enrolled which included staying up all night to help him with plane geometry so he could pass the entrance exam. Lyndon got along great at Southwest Texas State Teacher’s College, but af-ter two years he decided to quit school and teach a year to make a little money. He taught at Cotulla, where the school population was made up of needy Mexican children. Lyndon said that the poverty he saw at Co- tulla influenced him as he considered legislation after he went to Washington. Af-ter working at Cotulla for a year, Lyndon went back to college, completed all re-quirements for graduation.After he graduated from college, Lyndon got a job which lasted a short time because he was offered a job which really appealed to him. Congressman Rich-ard Kleberg offered to hire him as his secretary. Lyndon jumped at that op-portunity, was hired, and spent the rest of his career involved in the government of the United States. Rebekah, who had al-ways been a politically as-tute lady, was as happy as she could be. She felt that at last her effort had paid off and Lyndon was going to be a successful citizen. After Lyndon moved to Washington, he came back home for a visit and met a beautiful young lady. Never one to waste time, Lyndon decided right away that he was going to marry that charming lady, Claudia Taylor, who was called Lady Bird. She was not quite as carried away as Lyndon, but, as always when he set his head on something, Lyndon con-vinced Lady Bird that they should get married right away. Ten weeks later, on Nov. 17, 1934, Lady Bird and Lyndon were married at St. Mark’s Episcopal Church in San Antonio, Texas. Re-bekah welcomed Lady Bird with open arms, and the two became good friends.Lyndon Johnson and his family lived the rest of his mother’s life in Washing-ton, but he and his mother wrote to each other often. The following is found in the Angelo book: “Twen-ty-six years later, on Moth-er’s Day 1956, the power-ful majority leader of the U.S. Senate put aside his work to write: “I am so grateful for having you for my mother—a woman of such fine spirit and unlimit-ed devotion. You have been my inspiration, always and whatever I am or become, the credit for all that is good will be yours.” The woman who had spent her life trying to give her children the best life possible must have been re-warded by such a letter.Rebekah enjoyed visit-ing the Johnsons in Wash-ington, but she died before her son became the 36th President. Rebekah died of cancer of the lymphatic system on Sept. 12, 1958, five years before her son was inaugurated as Presi-dent. Years after her death, Lyndon said: “She helped me on everything until the day she died.”When he was President, Johnson some-times used some rather crude language at which his mother would have been horrified, so it is may be good she did not hear her son’s graphic speech.Rebekah is buried be-side her husband, Sam Johnson, in the Johnson Family Cemetery at Stone-wall, Texas, near where her son, President Lyndon Baines Johnson, and his wife, Claudia (Lady Bird) Johnson, are buried. Pres-ident Johnson died on Jan. 22, 1973, when he was 70. The graves of Lyndon’s brother, Sam Huston John-son, and those of his three sisters are also buried in the Johnson Family Ceme-tery. That cemetery is near Lyndon Johnson’s Ranch House, which is now called the Texas White House. Lyndon said that after he left Washington and moved back to his ranch, he visited the Johnson Family Cem-etery almost every day be-cause it was such a peaceful place with its towering live oak trees which stay green all year. Rebekah Baines Johnson had high hopes for first born The Johnson homeplace in Texas. Continued From Page 2up going to a psychiatrist on my own. All the stress and depression was nearly too much to bear anymore. The psy-chiatrist wanted me to go into the hospital. I said why? I would just go back to what is causing me to be miserable again. She prescribed some meds. Honestly, I don’t think I even tried them. I talked to my aunt and uncle about my appointment. My memory is fuzzy sometimes. I don’t re-member what was said but know I never went back. After graduating high school I moved out on my own. The depression lifted for awhile. I got a decent job. Things were going ok. Then a major life stressor hit. I was sent into a tail spin. Racing thoughts, feeling depressed yet feel like making laps around the yard. Sleeping was hard. But when it was time to wake up it was also hard. So I set out to see my trusted general practitioner. He actually listened and asked if I had ever heard of bipolar disorder. I had never heard of that diagnosis. I was scared but yet relieved I had an answer. He advised me to seek out a psychiatrist. Phew, was that a task. So many came and went. So many different medications. Ugh the side effects. Finally I met the psychiatrist that would help me change my life. We worked together finding the right meds. She let me know that I did have bipolar disorder and psychosis.I stopped drinking alcohol and started exercising reg-ularly. That along with medication really helped the de-pression. Came across a great counselor. That helped me greatly. The sun came out. Colors were brighter. Seems the birds were louder. Things were looking up.Now here I am at 52. I obtained an associate’s degree. I am now a Certified Peer Support Specialist. At a good base line in my recovery, I am living proof that recovery is possible. The important thing is to have hope that things will get better. In the end, I hope sharing my story helps at least one Peer ... person.

A large sit-down party was being held in the backyard, with everything decorated to celebrate the coronation of King Charles. The front of the house, one of the oldest in town, was decorated too. Sharpe was sworn in as the first mayor of Statesville in 1867.Historic Broad and Center streets were busy on a Saturday afternoon. A charity motorcycle ride was being hosted in downtown with live music ongoing for the riders who appeared to be mostly veterans. Along with the usual restaurants and bars in the area were a lot of outdoor provision suppliers. I stopped in at Andrea’s Ice Cream and Sweet Shop to see what was available. Andrea had been in town for nine of the business’s 10 years. She told me that business was good, partly crediting the downtown social district, and that they were about to get busy from 5 till closing at 9 p.m. I got wonderful pumpkin ice cream and a tasty store-made bagel.•Speaking of bagels, I next headed to Charlotte, Mecklenburg’s county seat. Employed here for 12 years, I didn’t spend much time downtown and dreaded the heavy traffic. On Sunday, May 7, I fol-lowed Siri’s directions that always leave me close to the county courthouse. This time, I was deposited in the Counties completed Latest counties IREDELL GASTON MECKLENBURG MECKLENBURGCOUNTYPop. 1,115,482Area: 546 sq. mi.

Charlotte is the 16th most populated U.S. city and third fastest growing city, and the second largest banking and financial cen-ter. It is also considered the center of the nation’s mo-torsports industry and that of professional wrestling. Mecklenburg County evolved from changes made to five other counties as the population headed west. Incorporated in 1768, the city was first called Charlottesburgh and Char-lottetown on some maps. The Great Wagon Road became Tryon Street as it passed through Charlotte.Many veins of gold were found in the area and Mecklenburg was the na-tion’s top producer in the early 1800s, leading to the construction of the Char-lotte Mint. Other sources of income revolved around the railroad and cotton produc-tion. Charlotte has been the most populous N.C. city since 1930. The state’s largest running event, the Turkey Trot 5K and 8K, happens on Thanksgiving Day.Among the many famous Charlotteans are Dwayne “the Rock” Johnson, early cowboy actor Randolph Scott and performer and songwriter Maurice Williams of the Zodiacs, famous for “Stay.”I ran and walked around the relatively quiet down-town area, still in awe of the skyscrapers and many new condo and apartment buildings under construc-tion in the area. I saw the Spectrum Center and the NASCAR Hall of Fame, then visited Einstein Bagels before leaving town. At least 20 people were wait-ing up to 20 minutes for their orders, but the cashier grabbed mine on the spot.•A quick 30-minute ride on Freedom Drive and I-85 took me to Gastonia, coun-ty seat of Gaston County. Gastonia was incorporated in 1877, the year that Civil War reconstruction ended. The crossing of two rail-roads and the beginning of the city's textile industry brought opportunities for employment and social life. The initial population of the town was approximate-ly 200 people, all located within one square mile.I found the 1901 Gaston County Courthouse right away, now home to many government and communi-ty entities. Two other areas stood out as I toured the town. The Gastonia Honey Hunters baseball park, state of the art, seems a center of the downtown social life. The 1901 Loray Textile Mill building has been renovated and hosts mul-tiple businesses and lofts.Additionally, the 1922 Gastonia High School has been renovated with 74 upscale apartment homes. On the national register of historic places, the school opened with a pipe organ and indoor swimming pool. The original early 1920s Gaston Hospital has also been repurposed as 75 apartments.A fun and artsy down-town is interesting and had live music early on a Sun-day afternoon, even with a baseball game being played nearby. Gastonia is another town worth visiting.I’m now at 37 county seats visited, while 63 remain. I had 4.71 miles running/walking in the three visits. I can’t wait to see more .Editor’s note: David Freeze is a runner, running coach and long-distance cyclist from China Grove in Rowan County. He is completing a challenge to run in a few miles in every county seat in all 100 N.C. counties. Contact him at david.freeze@ctc.net. The 1901 Loray mill in Gastonia now hosts business and loft apartments. Gastonia’s downtown boasts itself as a “Great Place in the Making” with many building renovations taking place.

He received the Rotary Club of Mocksville Schol-arship and attended NC State University. “College was expensive. The stress of suddenly ac-cumulating thousands of dollars of debt, per semes-ter; the worry of ‘I need to get out of here, so I can pay this thing off (if I go); I don’t know how to put a price on that mental stress. The scholarships I received lessened this burden and al-lowed me to focus on get-ting in and getting out.”Apperson graduated with two bachelor’s degrees in physics (minor in math), and electrical engineering (concentration in nanotech-nology). He is in the semi-conductor field but started as a process development engineer on LED’s for Cree in Durham.Apperson is a reliabil-ity engineer for Qorvo in Greensboro, which deals with Wi-Fi and cellular chips. With all of this informa-tion, what does Aubrey “do” all day? “In LEDs, I sat between scientists and the produc-tion facility: my job was to scale up, test, then release new processes. That meant building tools, training op-erators, then later transfer-ring from that process to production. “Now, I build and main-tain reliability test and char-acterization equipment; as well as design, build, and program tools as needed. In this role, I work to help ‘keep the train on the tracks’ – so to speak – to help make sure we ship reliable products. I also work with scientists, building new characteriza-tion tools and modifying existing ones, to give us the capability of testing the next generation devices. In both cases, I’ve focused on tool and process development – be it building new tools for a new technology that scien-tists have gotten to work a few times, or building new tooling so we can perform reliability testing for the lat-est chips. “Right now, I’m enjoying learning about the intrica-cies of certain semiconduc-tor power amplifiers, and what the next generation of devices might look like. With the hope of being able to contribute to the field.”What important lessons did he learn along the way? “It’s OK to ask for help. I took a year break between high school Calculus 1 and college Calculus 2.A very rough first test convinced me to attend math tutoring. A few years later, I had a mi-nor in math. Take advantage of the tools offered (small group tutoring sessions). They’re there to help.“My focus was always on the next thing in the plan.’ Gotta get a degree to get a good job, need a good job to afford a good house – a spouse after that. It’s OK to slow down and smell the daisies, I’m (still) learning. We only get one run through of this life, don’t wish it all away.“It’s OK to be unsure of what you want to do as a ca-reer – it’s a big decision, but you aren’t locked in forever. Take a semester or two in college to try some intro-ductory classes, pick some-thing, and then just stick with it. Employers mainly want to see you can start and finish something. More importantly, this will prove to yourself you can do any-thing you put your mind to.”Apperson is commuting to Greensboro while resid-ing in Davie. In his spare time, he is renovating his great-frandfather’s farm-house in Forsyth and active-ly involved in his church. Prior to COVID, he im-proved and implemented a new audio-visual system for the sanctuary and recently completed designing a mo-bile camera with streaming capabilities. Apperson also knows where credit is due. “I’d like to thank all the educators that allowed me to succeed. My story is as much yours as it is mine – yours, maybe more-so. The bus drivers, cafeteria staff, coaches, office staff, fam-ily, friends, and church too; through elementary, middle, high, and college – all those I can’t help but look back with fondness, and just say thank you.” Rotary scholar: ‘Smell the daisies’ along the way Aubrey Apperson says the community helped him reach his educational and career goals. conversations, all the words of encouragement, even the corrections when needed. The N.C. Association of Community College Presi-dents (NCACCP) and the N.C. School Superinten-dents Association (NCSSA) announced a scholarship fundraiser to honor Dr. Dar-rin Hartness, president of Davidson-Davie Commu-nity College (DDCC), has netted $35,800.In December 2022, Hart-ness was diagnosed with esophageal cancer and is fighting the disease with the help of his family and faith. In response to this news, public school superinten-dents and community col-lege presidents across North Carolina came together to support a student scholar-ship fund in honor of his service and his long career advocating for child-cen-tered education and public education. Before serving DDCC, he was a superintendent for Mount Airy City Schools and Davie County Schools.“This scholarship is a fit-ting tribute to Darrin’s life-long dedication to education and his unwavering com-mitment to students,” said Jack Hoke, NCSSA execu-tive director. “It will pro-vide deserving students with the opportunity to continue their education and achieve their dreams, just as Darrin has dedicated his career to doing. He is very passionate about serving students and providing a high-quality education for all.”The scholarship money will be designated for stu-dents from Davie County Schools who plan to contin-ue their education at DDCC. “It’s a great honor to be part of this, and it’s the easiest money we’ve ever raised,” said Dr. Jeff Cox, president of the N.C. Com-munity College System. “Our original goal of $5,000 was quickly surpassed, which shows the love for Darrin and the impact he has on so many people.” “I know this will give students an opportunity to build some better skills for a better job and better life ahead for their families and themselves,” said Hartness. “This is a great investment and will be used well to support our citizens and the future of our community. I can’t thank you all enough.”The funds collected for this scholarship will be managed and processed by the DDCC Foundation.

Serving Winston-Salem, Clemmons, and Surrounding Areas 14 - DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, May 18, 2023 Bless Your Spoon By Stephanie Williams Dean What’s up chicken butt?I need a bumper sticker that warns, “I brake for yard sales.” Seriously. I hit the jackpot on a Saturday morning after stopping at the home of Joan Dibbert off West Innes Street in Salis-bury. Joan and her daughter, Julie. welcomed me as I briefly scanned the sale, making a mental inventory of some cool stuff. I as-sured the ladies there was nothing I was looking for – and nothing I needed. On top of that – I car-ried no cash. Even so, the yard sale sign compelled me to stop and browse. Die-hard estate sale seekers share a favorite quote that supports the quest: “Buy the dress, and the party will come.”“If you see anything you like, you can have it.” That was generous. Joan and Julie were ready to pack up. Nev-ertheless, I was sure I’d be going home empty-handed. But then I picked up a square, stainless-steel device.“What’s this thing for?” Long story short, the tray makes a recipe called Beer Butt Chicken – the cooking tray holds a regular-sized beer can, and you slide a small, whole chicken down over the can. I’ll admit – it sounded a little over the top.With a name like Beer Butt Chicken, who could resist such a fortuitous find? I would have to make it. So off I went - with a beer and chicken cooker under one arm and a large, glass, party drink dispenser under the other. A cook’s bounty – kitchen treasures. The recipe for the chicken is one that Joan submitted for her family’s cookbook – a book chocked full of family favorites. Photos of Joan’s parents grace the cookbook’s cover. Her nieces had the recipe books printed for one of their big family reunions, held every 5 years or so. Part of a large family, Joan, and over 200 other family members, attend the reunions. Joan grew up in Randolph, Neb., back then a town of only 1,000 folks. They lived on a farm and raised all their own meat, grew their vegetables, milked their own cows, and made butter. Her Dad did all the farming, but her mom worked hard, also. Back then everyone grew their own food. Her parents bought the land from her mother’s father and built a farmhouse. The couple also helped build their local church and it’s still there. Joan and her 12 siblings were born in the same bedroom at home – not in a hospital. Joan’s mother taught all the girls in the family how to cook. She still remembers the great soups her mother made from beans and peas that came from their garden. Back in those days, growing up Catholic, the family couldn’t eat meat on Fridays. Instead, they ate lots of beans, potatoes, and onions. Going to town every Saturday night, Joan could see a movie that cost 10 cents at the time – and she worked sell-ing popcorn. “I got to see a movie and a bag of popcorn and 50 cents. That was my wages.” Having lived off West Innes Street in Salisbury since 2005, Joan is now 80. She’s worked in various fields – from cleaning homes to running her own restaurant. She retired from her last job at Harris Teeter after working for 6 years in the deli and as a baker. “I’m proud of it. I’m 80 and still able to take care of myself.” Joan attends Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Salisbury. She gave credit where due, saying it was her parents who “taught us the values of hard work – and honesty. And be-ing true to your faith.”What has made the writing of my column, “Bless Your Spoon” so rewarding are the people that God has put in my path along the way – like Joan. Good people. The givers. The generous and kind folks.The wisdom for leaders in Proverbs 27:17 (NIV) tells us: “As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.” Knowing and being around good people helps to refine and shape us. It’s no coincidence when we cross paths with others – as God has a purpose in every meeting. Romans 8:28 reads, “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him who have been called according to his purpose.” Throughout our lives as Christians, God will continue to work – bringing and removing people from our lives in order to fulfill His plan. He’s not finished with us yet – as God continues to have a purpose for my life and for yours.

DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, May 18, 2023 - B1Sports By Brian PittsEnterprise Record Did Davie’s baseball team really go to East Forsyth in the second round of the playoffs on May 12 and knock out the state’s second-ranked team? Did Jaydon Holder really pitch five shutout innings against a 21-win opponent that recently ripped off 13 consec-utive wins? Yeah, it did and he did. Davie, which finished fourth in the Central Piedmont Conference and is seeded 18th in the West Region, pulled off a quintessen-tial feel-good story by winning 8-3 over East, which was seeded second after winning the CPC’s regular-season title. Now let’s take a deep breath and think about this. East has three pitchers who have signed with Division-I colleges. Try to imagine these War Eagles trying to explain to their grandchildren someday how they faced all three of those high-profile arms and beat them all. The teams played each other four times; Davie took three. East was 20-2 against non-Davie oppo-nents, 1-3 against the Cinderella War Eagles. “We knew the pressure was on them,” Davie senior Davin Whita-ker said. “We had nothing to lose. We had gotten the job done twice and it has flustered them because they’re not used to losing. We knew how to beat them going in.”East coach Drew Dull sent Steele Lee to the mound. He’s a 6-6, 205-pound righthander who has signed with High Point. His reliever was Ethan Norby, a lefty headed to East Carolina. On this night, the War Eagles did not see Braxton Stewart, a lefty bound for Louisville, but they saw him March 16 and they won 5-1. “They helped us out a little bit,” coach Joey Anderson said. “We normally hit right-handers better than we do lefthanders.”But before Davie’s offense chased Lee, it was energized by a play from D. Whitaker in center field. With two outs in the bottom of the second, Chance Bricolo, one of 14 East seniors, singled up the middle. Whitaker fired a strike to catcher Drew Krause to cut down Stewart for the third out. That kept the score 0-0. “When I field it, I always look up and take a glance at the runner or the third-base coach because you don’t want to air it out if the guy is going to hold up,” Whitaker said. “I saw the third-base coach waving him. It was a big momen-tum change.”Then came Davie’s offensive fireworks. Cooper Bliss started the third with a double down the third-base line. Ty Miller dropped down a perfect bunt that resulted in a hit. Coy James’ single plated one. Parker Simmons’ single drove in two. A fourth run came around when East errored a ball off the bat of Brady Marshall. Davie kept its foot on the gas in the fourth, when Norby took the mound. Krause doubled. James (walk) and Simmons (hit by pitch) reached. Courtesy-runner Craig McBride scored on a wild pitch. Whitaker made it 7-0 with a two-run single. James was his usual self in the leadoff spot, going 2 for 3 and reaching base three times. But the biggest offensive hero on this night was Krause, a sophomore who was batting seventh in the order. He went 3 for 4 with three doubles - one to left-center that bounced over the fence, one to right-center and then one down the left-field line. Davie upsets East in round 2 Please See Upset - Page B2 By Brian PittsEnterprise Record Davie’s softball team soared into the 4-A playoffs with the wind at its back. It was coming off two thrilling wins in the Central Pied-mont Conference Tournament - 5-4 over West Forsyth and 5-1 in eight innings over East Forsyth in the championship game. How delicious the moment. How fleeting it was. Five days after Davie had snatched the CPC trophy, they stumbled in the first round of the state playoffs, losing 8-4 at home to Porter Ridge on May 9. Davie was seeded 13th in the 32-team West Region; Porter Ridge was No. 20. It was quite a letdown. “We played two perfect games Softball stumbles in first round in the conference tournament, and we never reached that level (against Porter Ridge),” coach Nathan Handy said. “We just never reached that same type of intensity that we did against West Forsyth and East Forsyth.“There may have only been one error in the book, but there were a couple mental mistakes that didn’t help us. We dropped a foul ball. There was a swinging bunt when we didn’t communicate well. We weren’t firing on all cylinders.”It was a game of missed op-portunities. Raelyn Lankford and Summer Simpson had first-inning hits, but Davie only managed one run as Sydney Dirks provided a sac fly. In the second, Davie wasted Leah Grimes’ leadoff double. In the fourth, Davie wasted Dirks’ leadoff double. And in the sixth, Hanna Steinour and Grimes put together back-to-back, two-out hits, but both were stranded. Even though both teams banged out 12 hits, Davie’s offense was kept quiet until the seventh, by which time it was in an 8-1 hole. “(Porter Ridge pitcher Natalya Salo) was throwing 60ish and had a good rise ball,” Handy said. “We still had 12 hits, but we just couldn’t string them together - un-til the very last inning.”In the last of the seventh, Carly Crouch, Lankford, Jadyn Davis, Simpson and Dirks produced five straight hits to cut the 8-1 deficit to 8-4 - but it was too little, too late. The Pirates finished off the upset and improved to 12-8. Please See Stumbles - Page B4 “It’s disappointing to lose in our first home playoff game (since 2018),” Handy said. “It wasn’t what we were wanting for our seniors, but that’s the way it goes sometimes. Credit to Porter Ridge.”The silver lining: The three se-niors combined for six hits in their final Davie games, and pitcher Ri-ley Potts fanned eight to break the program record for single-season strikeouts. Aside from the tough finish, it was a good start to the Handy era. Under the first-year coach, Davie (17-7-1) surged to its highest win total in six years and bagged its first CPC title in five years. “We accomplished a lot,” he By Brian PittsEnterprise Record It seems Gracie Wilson couldn’t have scripted a better senior sea-son. In the fall, she blossomed in volleyball and earned a scholarship to Division-II Southern Wesleyan (S.C.). Fast-forward to spring track & field and Wilson is crushing the competition in the discus. In the Central Piedmont Con-ference championship meet at Davie on May 2, Wilson captured the title in the discus with a throw of 109-3; the runner-up was at 104. It was just another day at the office after she swept first in all the regular-season meets. Four days later in an invita-tional at Davie, Wilson broke the program record in the discus. Her 118-11 throw surpassed the old mark of 114-4, set by Lexi May in 2019. Wilson’s previous personal record was 113-3. “It felt pretty good; that was my goal,” said Wilson, who picked up a discus for the first time when the world was shut down in 2020. “During COVID I had to do some-thing alone during my free time, so I decided to do discus. I watched different videos and I started going to a personal trainer (as a sophomore). When I first started I was throwing mid-80s. I wasn’t too happy about that. I wanted to progress because other girls were throwing more than me. I started lifting (weights) over the summer and going to the gym more and also using different techniques.”Wilson also gives credit for her success to assistant coach Diane Williams. “Gracie had significant im-provements this year,” head coach Wilson CPC discus champ Please See Champ - Page B5 Porter Ridge tags out Jadyn Davis on a play at second.

This game gave him six consec-utive hits against Norby. That’s big-time. “All the hard work he’s been doing really showed,” Upset ... By Brian PittsEnterprise Record After a grueling stretch in which Davie’s baseball team lost 5-4 to Glenn, won 5-4 over East Forsyth and lost 5-4 to West Forsyth, the War Eagles were able to enjoy a relatively stress-free game in the first round of the 4-A playoffs. Davie crushed the ball all over the place, Parker Simmons and Davin Whita-ker had monster games and the War Eagles blew out Ragsdale, 12-1, on the road on May 9. Davie, the 18th seed in the West Region, won its first playoff game since 2019 and improved to 15-10. The 15th-seeded Tigers closed shop at 18-7 after fin-ishing second in the eight-team Metro Conference. “We played good de-fense, we threw strikes and we passed the baton to the next guy,” coach Joey An-derson said. “We weren’t swinging for the fences.”Offensively, the War Ea-gles did all the damage they needed in the top of the second inning. After Drew Krause and Ty Miller reached, Coy James mashed a triple. Two pitches later, Simmons singled. Then 5-5: Simmons has historic game in Round 1 D. Whitaker made it three straight hits as Davie surged to a 4-0 lead. They put up a twice-as-big crooked number in the seventh to break Ragsdale’s back. A Simmons single ignited a six-hit, eight-run eruption. Whitaker (double), MJ Jacobs and Jackson Sink kept the merry-go-round go-ing with hits. It really got out of hand when Simmons got his second hit of the inning, a three-run double. As if that wasn’t enough, D. Whitaker capped it off with a triple as Davie’s lead mushroomed to 12-1. Simmons and D. Whitak-er went absolutely bonkers. The former went 5 for 5 with three runs and four RBIs in the two hole. The latter went 4-5 in the three hole. Simmons distinguished himself by hitting .322 last year as a junior, but he strug-gled badly at the beginning of 2023. Batting anywhere from seventh to ninth in the first six games, he started 0 for 13. He moved up to the two hole for the March 16 home game against East Forsyth, a 5-1 win, and he made Anderson look like a genius. In the 19 games be-tween March 16 and Rags-dale, Simmons hit .379 (22 for 58). At Ragsdale, his average soared from .257 to .309. Wait, there’s more. Sim-mons’ 5-for-5 work in the first rounder was the Davie’s first five-hit performance between 1999-2023, a span of 574 games. “We’ve been watching him grow year by year,” An-derson said. “He struggled a little bit early. When you see a D-I guy as many times as we do, you’re not going to have a Coy James batting average. He’s worked hard and he’s stepped up.”“Being my senior year, I was frustrated with getting off to a slow start,” Sim-mons said. “I wasn’t seeing the ball well and wasn’t finding the barrel. Nothing was really working for me. “It all kind of changed when coach Joey moved me into the two hole against East Forsyth,” Simmons continued. “I was confused about why he moved me to the two hole, but batting me between Coy and Davin has worked out for us. I’m thankful it’s picked up, es-pecially at this time in the playoffs.”Interestingly enough, the seventh-inning double was Simmons’ first extra-base hit in two years; his other 40 hits were singles. “I got fastballs all night, so I was expecting a curve-ball or something offspeed,” Simmons said. “I sat curve-ball, I guessed right and I hit a double to left-center.”D. Whitaker was slow out of the gate as well. After seven games, he was at .166 (3 for 18). What’s he hitting since then? How about .442 over 18 games (23 for 52). For the season, the senior left Ragsdale at .371 with a .900 slugging percentage and a .494 on-base per-centage. “Those (five) seniors have stepped up,” Anderson said. “Davin’s really hard on himself in practice, but in the games it shows he works a lot because he’s been in a groove,” Simmons said. “I mean there’s nobody that can throw it by him.”“I was squaring balls up and they were going straight to people (in the first seven games),” D. Whitaker said. “But that’s baseball. I’m making a team swing and not a me swing. Earlier in the year, I was going up there for me. The more you focus on the team, the better the outcome is.”Meanwhile, Braeden Rodgers showed impressive poise on the mound when the Tigers had a chance to make noise in the fifth. The score was 4-1 and they had runners at the corners with no outs. Rodgers fielded a dribbler back to the mound, faked a throw to second and quickly spun around. He had the runner from third in a pickle. He threw to third baseman Brady Mar-shall and Marshall threw to catcher Krause for a 1-5-2 out. With runners at first and third and one out, Rodgers snared a liner and doubled up the runner at third to end the threat. “The turning point in the game was (the bottom of the fifth),” Anderson said. “You saw the air go out of Ragsdale at that point.”Rodgers threw six strong innings. The only run was unearned as he walked two and struck out eight. He ran his record to 6-1 and low-ered his ERA to 1.90. “That dynamic duo has kept us in games,” Anderson said of Rodgers and Jaydon Holder. Reliever Connor Berg added the exclamation point in the bottom of the sev-enth. The junior missed an immaculate inning by a hair, striking out three batters on 10 pitches. The first batter he faced: strike swinging, strike looking, strike swinging. The sec-ond batter: strike looking, strike swinging, foul ball, strike swinging. The third batter: strike looking, foul ball, strike swinging. The same result in nine pitches would have qualified for the extremely rare immaculate inning. “Connor was locked in,” Anderson said. “(Joey) Cress told him to attack and that’s what he did. He’s ac-cepted that (relief) role and there’s a chance that he can pitch every game.”Notes: James had a rou-tine night by going 2 for 4 with his fifth triple. Here are his glittering numbers for the season: .460 average, .828 slugging percentage, .559 on-base percentage. He has 17 extra-base hits among his 35 total hits, and he has 17 walks/hit by pitches. ... Sink went 2 for 4 as Davie outhit Ragsdale 15-6. ... In the other first-round games involving the Central Piedmont Conference, No. 8 Hopewell beat No. 25 Glenn 4-3, No. 14 West Forsyth beat No. 19 Charlotte Cath-olic 5-4, No. 10 Reagan beat No. 23 South Mecklenburg 1-0 and No. 2 East Forsyth beat No. 31 Olympic 8-3. Davie’s soccer team fin-ished strong and sent six seniors out on a high note in the final week of the season. Davie beat Parkland 4-2 at home before winning 6-0 at Glenn. Both games went as expected after the War Eagles dominated them in the first meetings. Lanna Robinson, Lexi Kulis, Sarah Andrade and Emily Garner did the scor-ing against Parkland on May 8. Two days later in Kern-ersville, Caylee Willard, Madison Hayes, Robinson, Kulis, Andrade and Garner shared the scoring as the Marketing Solutions for YOUR business Newspapers • Special Sections OurDavie.com • Digital Marketing Business Card Directory Including: SEO, SEM, Targeted Marketing, Social and Reputation Management, Website Design, AND MORE. For more information contact us at: 171 S. MAIN STREET • MOCKSVILLE, NC(336) 751-2120 Holder said of Krause. Defensively, Holder rose to the moment and threw a five-inning gem. The senior lefty spun a three-hitter with one walk and five strikeouts. He only faced 18 batters, or three above the minimum. He had only thrown 62 pitches and he was dealing ... but Anderson decided to pull Holder after the fifth be-fore his pitch count got any higher so he’d be eligible for the May 16 third-rounder at Reagan if needed. “It’s the most I’ve ever seen him focussed before a game,” D. Whitaker said of Holder. “He was relaxed. He didn’t put too much pressure on himself. He just went out there and played ball like we know how to do.”Holder has four pitches (fastball, curveball, slider, changeup) and everything was clicking. “We pounded the fastball and curveball and we mixed in some sliders,” Krause said. “I had confidence with each pitch.”“That was one of the most locked-in situations I could have been in,” Hold-er said after picking up his fifth win and trimming his tidy ERA to 2.02. “I knew my defense had my back. Every pitch was working. My curveball was right on point. I could put my fastball on the corner - in or out. And then my changeup - when I needed to get a batter on his toes - I could place that where I wanted it.”In the sixth, reliever Con-nor Berg hit a batter, gave up a single and issued a walk. East suddenly had life. With two outs, Jacksen Peabody roped a sinking liner to left. Ty Miller laid out for it but couldn’t make what would have been a spectacular catch. The ball rolled to the fence and the two-run triple cut Davie’s lead to 7-3.“I thought Ty had a pretty good route on it,” Anderson said. “In that situation, I would have done the same thing. If he makes that play, it’s the nail in the coffin. We still had a big enough lead to where we could hold them off.” Anderson went to the mound and brought in Cole Whitaker. Bricolo greeted him with a bullet to center, but D. Whitaker charged in and squeezed it for the third out. Davie fans were breath-ing a sigh of relief. The War Eagles got an add-on run in the top of the seventh. Marshall singled sharply to center. Two outs later, Krause turned on a pitch and got the double down the line. He was out trying to stretch it into a tri-ple, but Davie had a five-run cushion with 3 outs to go. How about C. Whitaker’s punctation mark in East’s last at-bat. On the first pitch, he induced a groundout to second baseman Simmons. On the next pitch, he got a groundout to third baseman Marshall. Three pitches lat-er, he coaxed a grounder to shortstop James, who made an offbalance throw look easy and Davie had a win that will go down as quite a night in the program’s 68-year annals. “That was the best I’ve seen Cole throw all sea-son,” Krause said. “Cole had struggled a little bit, but I think deep down everybody knows that he’s a dog. I know because I am working with him more than anybody - me and coach (Joey) Cress. With Braeden (Rodgers) and Jaydon throwing so well (this year), I think that push-es Connor and Cole more.”“I came into the game with a lot of confidence,” C. Whitaker said after his 1.1 innings in a span of six pitches. “I knew the team had my back and I had theirs. I love coming into big situations. It gets me fired up and helps me to compete at the highest level with my team. It was really special for me to have the opportu-nity to close out a game as big as this one. To have the trust from the coaching staff to put me in a situation like that means a lot to me.”Notes: Davie outhit East 11-5. Getting one hit were Simmons (1-3), D. Whitaker (1-4, two RBIs), Marshall (1-4), Jackson Sink (1-4), Bliss (1-3) and Miller (1-3). ... East had seven- and 13-game winning streaks before losing four of its last five. ... The War Eagles advanced to the third round for the first time since 2019, when they received a first-round bye, beat Grimsley and lost to South Caldwell. They won two playoff games for the first time since 2012. Davie (16-10) has its most wins in four years. “We’re competing at a very high level right now,” Anderson said. “(I’m trying to) get Davie baseball back where I think it belongs. It helps that I have coaches like (Ross) Hoffner, Cress and T (Brandon Thalasinos).”... In other second-round games involving the CPC, North-west Guilford beat West Forsyth 7-1 and Reagan beat Ardrey Kell 8-2. War Eagles completed a 6-10-2 season. Although the War Eagles finished sixth in the eight-team Central Piedmont Con-ference, they weren’t far from fourth. They lost six CPC games by one or two goals. “We were competitive with No. 2 all the way through the rest of the con-ference,” coach Corbin Ko-petzky said. “We were in tight games with East For-syth, Reagan and Mt. Tabor, and we beat Reynolds once and tied them once.”Suiting up for Davie for the last time were seniors Mya McGowan, Kulis, Ri-ley Almond, Garner, Avery Yount and Bree Hart. “It was never a dull mo-ment with our seniors,” Kopetzky said. “I loved every second of getting to coach that group. They set a foundation I think we can continue to build on.”West Forsyth captured the league title with a 13-1 record. East Forsyth was 12-2, Reagan 10-4, Tabor 7-6-1, Reynolds 5-7-2, Da-vie 5-8-1, Parkland 2-12 and Glenn 0-14. War Eagle soccer team finishes strong with 2 wins DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, May 18, 2023 ‑ B3 For about 10 weeks, about the only thing that bass fishermen around Piedmont North Carolina have been thinking about is the bass spawn.From March when largemouths are just begin-ning to think about repro-ducing, to mid-May, when most of the state’s big, green fish have finished try-ing to guarantee the health of the species, fishermen concentrate on where bass are in relation to the spawn: prespawn, spawning and post-spawn.Now that mid-May has arrived and Memorial Day is right around the corner, fishermen should be paying attention to a different kind of spawn: baitfish. Typical-ly, May and early June are the pages on the calendar where blueback herring – in lakes they occupy like those on the Catawba River chain – and shad spawn. When shad and her-ring begin moving to areas where they like to spawn, bass fishing can take on a wonderful top-to-bottom profile. You can catch them on top – and on the bottom.Hall of Fame bass pros David Fritts of Lexington and Davy Hite of Ninety Six, S.C., – the only two pros to win the Bassmaster Classic, the BASS Angler of the Year award and the FLW Tour Championship – take advantage of both situations.“May is my favorite month to fish topwaters,” said Hite, who retired sev-eral years ago and now hosts the Bassmaster Live shows on television and on-line. “You just can’t beat a big bass blowing up on a bait that’s moving along the surface. It’s usually a violent strike, and it’s some of the most-exciting fishing you can do.“If you have a shad spawn (on the lake you’re fishing), find a bank where they’re spawning, usually the first few hours of the morning, and fish a topwa-ter. If you have bluebacks in the lake you’re fishing, that changes everything, because bass will really key in on them. If your lake has bluebacks, you need to spend more time fish-ing around flat points than anywhere else. They’ll be hanging around them.”Fritts said that, depend-ing where you’re fishing in North Carolina, the shad spawn will start from mid-May to early June. “Most of our lakes have a pretty good shad spawn,” he said. “The shad all get up on the banks, and the bass are going to follow them, so you have a pretty good topwater bite. In some of our lakes in the north-ern and eastern parts of the state, the topwater bite could last all day. In lakes farther south, like Lake Wylie, it will be mostly an early morning bite. I’ll look for big, flat points; the shad like to spawn there.”Fritts likes to fish a big, walking bait on top, like a Berkley J-Walker in shad, white or clear colors. He likes to make a long cast up close to the bank and work the bait all the way back to the boat, keeping it in the strike zone for the maxi-mum amount of time.Hite loves to catch fish on topwater, and he loves a variety of baits for late May and early June – even on into June when the bream spawn begins in his native state and brings more bass into the shallows.“I love to fish walking baits, sometimes maybe a frog or a buzzbait to mix it up more, more because of fishing pressure than any-thing else,” he said. “All of our lakes get fished so much, that if everybody is throwing a topwater walk-ing bait, and if a bass gets caught three times on one, he’s going to be shy of the next one.“That’s one reason I like to fish topwater with a soft-plastic jerkbait, some- thing you don’t think of as a topwater bait, but the same way that lots of fishermen fish floating worms, I like to fish an unweighted soft jerkbait like a Yamamoto D-Shad in shad or white, on a 4/0 VMC offset hook. I fish it on the surface, or within 2 or 3 inches of the surface. I work it fast, and I don’t pause it enough for it to sink – not super fast, but you’ve got to keep it mov-ing to keep it up.”Fritts loves topwater fishing, but he’s really lick-ing his chops when that bite ends and fish begin to move off the bank, toward deeper water. That’s when he can go to his crankbaits – plugs with diving lips of varying shapes and sizes.“The thing I really look for, is fish pulling out af-ter they recover from the spawn, getting on little drops and corners, ganging up and really feeding heav-ily,” said Fritts, who years ago grabbed two huge back-to-back wins in lake-May tournaments on Lake Wylie, fishing crankbaits for fish just moving back to deep water. “The mid-lake area is usually a good place to start; I think most of the fish will be from halfway back in the creeks to the main lake,” he said. ‘ What I like to do is start at mid-lake and work my way down a little. If I’m catch-ing quality fish, I’ll keep going. If I’m not, I’ll turn around and go up the lake.”Hite loves the two weeks after Memorial Day because of the same fish Fritts likes to target.“They’re ganged up in relatively small areas, and they’re hungry from not eating for a couple of weeks,” he said. “They generally look for some good offshore structure that holds bait. It can be a secondary point in a creek fairly close to a spawning pocket, a point close to the mouth of a creek that’s along the route the fish will take to get to the deep, main-lake areas where they’ll spend the summer, or a hump along a creek channel.”Hite likes medium-div-ing crankbaits like a Rapala DT-8 or DT-10; most of the fish will be in that depth range. “Typically, when I feel like the bass are ready to eat a crankbait, I’ll have several different ones tied on. I’ll have a bait that runs 6 to 8 feet deep, one that runs 8 to 10, maybe one that runs out to 12 to 14. I want to be ready to fish dif-ferent depths depending on the kind of places I might find them. I use a lot of shad colors in June because that’s the predominant bait-fish in most lakes.”Hite said that if he gets on a good bunch of fish on a spot – maybe a couple of stumps or a hump close to a creek channel, he’ll catch his crankbait fish, then slow down and work the area even better with a Texas-rigged or Caroli-na-rigged Senko.“This is important be-cause people don’t realize that bass usually aren’t scattered out all over a point or a drop, but they will be ganged up on one specific little spot; there may be one place on that point where all the fish are going. Once you find one, you can catch a lot of fish in a hurry.” Seasonal bass fishing tips from the experts *Annual Percentage Yield (APY) eective as of the publication date.

All three were four-year varsity players. “It’s going to be tough next year trying to fill those (three) gaps,” he said. All three earned a slice of history in the Davie record book. Dirks had a spec-tacular career while taking first place in career homers (24), tying for first in sea-son homers (10), second in career RBIs (102), third in season RBIs (38), third in season doubles (11), third in career doubles (27), fifth in career runs (102), tying for fifth in season hits (40) and eighth in career hits (108). By hitting .549 last year and .512 this year, she owns two of the top six batting averages of all-time. The second baseman will begin her career at Western Carolina in the fall. “We’ll never forget her breaking that (career HR) record,” Handy said. “She’s that one-of-a-kind power hitter that you might see once or twice in your ca-reer. I’m glad I was able to experience that with her the last two years because she’s definitely one of the best hitters to ever come through here.”Simpson is tied for third in season hits (41), tied for sixth in career walks/hit by pitches (41), seventh in season average (.488), Davie Softball Stats 2023 Record: 17-7-1, 10-4 CPC AVG.

Davie County Schools announced the appointment of Josh Stanley as the new head wrestling coach at Davie High. A former standout wres-tler at Appalachian State and a graduate of Davie, Stanley brings 24 years’ experience in wrestling and 16 years coaching wrestling for boys and girls ages 5-18. Most re-cently he served as the head coach at Lake Norman High, where his success included 2022 conference champs, regional champs, state run-ner-up in 2022, conference coach of the year in 2022, two conference wrestlers of the year, 26 state quali-fiers, 14 state placers, five state champions and six All-American honors.Stanley is also the found-er of Combat Athletics, a renowned wrestling and martial arts program locat-ed in Bermuda Run. Since 2012, Combat Athletics has produced an impressive 48 state champions, coached 33 NHSCA All-Americans, coached two NHSCA na-tional champions and five NHSCA national finalists, 15 athletes with D-I schol-arships and more than 30 athletes at D-II and below.As a student-athlete at Davie High, Stanley played football and wrestled. He was a two-time third-place wrestler in the state and was a collegiate wrestler at N.C. State and Appalachian State. “Returning to coach at my alma mater is about more than just coaching,” said Stanley. “It’s a chance to give back to the program and community that mold-ed me, to inspire the next generation of wrestlers, and to build upon the passion for wrestling in this com-munity.”“We are thrilled to have coach Stanley join our wrestling program,” said Tim Devericks, Davie High Athletic Director. “His track record of success and commitment to excellence make him an ideal fit for our school and community.

Later in the week in the invitational at Davie, Sweet pole vaulted a school-record 13-6, an absurd mark for a freshman. The old record of 13 feet had stood since 1997. Sweet took the moment in stride. “AJ is a very quiet young man,” Raisbeck said. “Typ-ically freshmen are not real boisterous, but he takes being calm to another level. He was over 14 feet, but he brushed it coming down. Yeah, he’s got lots and lots of potential.”Two War Eagles barely missed all-CPC honors, with sophomore Tyler Hill finishing third in the 400 at 51.61 and sophomore Coo-per Williams finishing third in the discus and fourth in the shot put. “Tyler’s best time is 51.27, which is really re-markable for a sophomore,” Raisbeck said. “It’s amazed me how fast his 400 time has become. We didn’t even run him in the 400 last year.”Three school records fell in the Davie invitational. Besides Wilson and Sweet, you had Hill going 1:58.72 in the 800. “He’d run 2:03 in an open 800, so when you improve five seconds, that’s Champ ... a dramatic improvement,” Raisbeck said. “I knew he was ready to go under two. We only had him run the 800 once last year, and his time was 2:15.”Notes: Both Davie teams finished fifth out of eight in the CPC championship meet. “That’s exactly where we expected to be with a very young team,” Raisbeck said. “I’m running 20 dis-tance runners and I’ve got one senior.” ... Senior Owen Sulecki and freshman Ethan Lakey were fifth and sixth in the 1600, respectively. ...

The second-seeded Wild-cats took the rubber match between the teams. Ellis was the third seed. The game, held at North on May 2, end-ed after six innings because of a two-hour time limit. The Jaguars roared to a 4-0 lead in the top of the first, but North had a 7-5 lead in the fifth after French unloaded a three-run homer graders, two seventh graders and one sixth grader, they dominated from wire to wire for second-year coach Morris Miller. The Nos. 1-2 seeds all year in singles were eighth-grader Brady Carter and seventh-grader Riley Mallory, respectively. Colt Miller and Dylan Cassetta each racked up 10 singles wins, followed by Mallo-ry with nine, Carter and Max Rappaport with sev-en apiece, Josh Baker and Hunter Stephens with five and Isaac Martinez with two. The leaders in doubles wins were Carter (11), Mal-lory (11), Miller (nine), Baker (eight), Rappaport (three), Stephens (three) and Martinez (three). The roster included Nick Smith, Richard Diaz, Grant Wollner and Ryan McPher-son.

It was the fifth long ball of the season for French, who went 3 for 4 with a double, two runs and four RBIs. “We thought about walk-ing him (intentionally), but they had two on,” Ellis coach Mike Dinkins said. “You second-guess yourself all the time as a coach.”The Jaguars, though, did not roll over. Landon Hughes’ sixth-inning hit tied the game at 7. It looked like they would take the lead, but North left fielder Reynolds Tomlinson threw out a runner at home for the third out of the sixth. “Everybody thought it was over (after French’s homer),” Dinkins said. North answered right back in its final at-bat. With one out, Mack Ridenhour singled to right. Wade Rid-enhour entered to pinch run for his brother, and he advanced to second on a passed ball. With two outs, Tanner Steinour came through with a walk-off hit. “Fans got their money’s worth,” North coach Trevor Gooch said. “Both teams played hard and were resil-ient. I told our kids before the game a quote from Babe Ruth: ‘It’s hard to beat a per-son who never gives up.’”Jack Greer went 2 for 3 for North, which got one hit from Ian Patton (1-3), M. Ridenhour (1-3) and Steinour (1-4). Hayden Potts walked three times and scored three runs. The winning pitcher was North’s fourth arm of the day, Ty Sain, who recorded the final two outs. He came in after Patton, Alex Bowles and Noah Potts covered the first 5.1 innings. “Some unsung heroes were Alex, Noah and Ty, who pitched out of some jams,” Gooch said. Meanwhile, it was an-other painful loss for the Jaguars, who finished 9-3. “We lost three ballgames by a total of four runs,” Dinkins said. “It was a tough way to lose. We’re so evenly matched. It could have gone either way.”Brandon Forrest paced Ellis’ offense with two hits in three at-bats, two runs, a walk and a double. Ellis got one hit from Hughes (1-2, two RBIs, two walks), Jackson Rathbone (1-2), Wesley Davis (1-3), Dashel Desnoyers (1-3), Bowman Blakely (1-4, two RBIs) and Easton Sanders (1-4). Colin Harrison had two walks and two runs. WCA 5, ND 3In the championship game at top-seeded Wes-leyan Christian Academy on May 4, the Wildcats scored the first three runs. But the euphoria from beating Ellis and jumping on Wesleyan disappeared in the bottom of the fourth, when the Trojans did all of their scoring. Yep, one bad inning doomed North as it settleed for runner-up. North took control by scoring two in the second and one in the third. Ty Greene carried a shutout into the fourth, when North came off the rails. “It was a tough loss,” Gooch said after his team finished 11-4. “Our kids came to play, but we failed to get a big hit when men on base. Our relief pitchers (Bowles and Potts) kept us in the game, but we could not generate any offense in the late innings.”Bowles and Potts com-bined for 3.1 scoreless in-nings. Potts (1-3), M. Riden-hour (1-2) and Bowles (1-1) had the only hits for North. Gooch saw eight eighth graders wear the North uniform for the last time: Steinour, French, Potts, Sain, Greene, M. Ridenhour, Patton and Bowles. DAVIE COUNTYSPORTS PHOTOS by Marnic Lewis • High School Sports • Youth Sports • Rec. League Sports Preserve your athlete’s Sports Memories!

But other than that one game, South was a powerhouse, winning its first conference title since 2015 and the fourth title in program history. “We just had one bad game against Ellis in the conference tournament,” coach Donnie Brown said. “Ellis had a really good game. But to win 11 games is pretty good. We won three (in 2022) and the year before that we won one. We definitely moved in the right direction.”The team captains, Addie Brown and Raney Phelps, were magnificent. Phelps, who went the distance in the circle in all 12 games, struck out 128 batters in 66 innings, averaging 1.9 Ks per inning. She threw five shutouts, three perfect games and racked up 17 Ks against Ellis on April 11. On top of all that, the eighth grader hit .794 with three home runs. Brown, an eighth grader, was the No. 1 stick with an .833 average. She blasted four homers, including three over the fence. “Addie and Raney were good leaders for the girls,” Brown said. Scarlett Brock, Allie Co-thren and Sarenity Miller helped South outscore oppo-nents 120-21. Brock hit .667 and Cothren .472. Brock, Cothren and Miller each hit one homer. That wasn’t all. “Madison Shaw played a good second base all year,” said Brown, who has spent six years in the South dugout, including the last five as head coach. “Chloe Charles played third base all year and did a really good job there. Our outfield was mostly brand new to the game as sixth graders, but they definitely improved throughout the year.” Upcoming Games Sunday, May 21Mocksville Sr. Legion at home vs. Randolph Co. at 7 Tuesday, May 23Mocksville Sr. Legion baseball at home vs. Concord at 7Mocksville Jr. Legion baseball at Davidson County at 7Wednesday, May 24Mocksville Sr. Legion baseball at Mooresville at 7Mocksville Jr. Legion baseball at West Forsyth Green at 5 Read it first at ourdavie .com North Davie tennis team members, from left: front row - Grant Wollner, Colt Miller, Riley Mallory and Ryan McPherson; middle - Hunter Stephens, Richard Diaz, Isaac Martinez, Brady Carter and Josh Baker; back - Dylan Cassetta, Max Rappaport, Nick Smith and coach Morris Miller.

Attendees came from Davie, Davidson, Forsyth, Iredell, Yadkin, Randolph and Rowan counties.The event was a huge success despite the morn-ing starting with tornado warnings, hail and a torren-tial downpour, said Allison Gupton, SmartStart’s com-munity relations and educa-tion coordinator. “Kids and families brought the sunshine inside with their excitement as they explored together as a fam-ily,” she said. The morning consisted of performances, activities provided by child serving agencies, games, and more.Agencies represented included: Cedar Grove Baptist Church, Cognition Davie, Davie County Pub-lic Library, Davie County Health Department (WIC, CC4C, Child Health Clin-ic), Davie County 911 Communications, Davie County EMS, Davie Coun-ty Sheriff’s Office, Davie Center for Violence Preven-tion, Davie Family YMCA, DHSS: NC Div.

Kids colored and created, spun prize wheels, used their imagination to pretend to be sheriff offi-cers, firefighters and more. There was an obstacle course, cardboard city, vi-sion screenings, face paint-ing, and the highly antici-pated smoothie bike.“A huge thank you to all the volunteers who helped with the event including Davie County High School students, Davie County Ear-ly College students, Rotary Club of Mocksville, Ki-wanis, Novant, Smart Start of Davie County Board and Committee Members, fam-ily members and agency friends,” said Gena Taylor, Smart Start’s executive di-rector.Following the theme of Earth Day: Reduce, Reuse and Recycle, there were some new additions includ-ing the Davie High School CTE War Eagle Can Trailer and a shred event hosted by Davie Senior Services. Families watched per-formances by Krysta Gary/Zumba, Magician Ryan Short, Davie County Senior Center’s Boogie Brigade, and Mid-Eastern Martial Arts.

DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD Thursday, May 18, 2023 ‑ B9 The saying goes, “If you want something done, give it to a busy person.”That certainly is true of members of the Davie Quilt Guild. They meet at the Da-vie County Public Library in Mocksville on the third Monday of each month, 1-3 p.m. And about once every three or four months, they meet at the library for an all-day sew day. There’s usu-ally a theme, whether it’s patriotic quilts for veterans, a quilt for the next owners of a Habitat-built house, or pillow cases for a children’s home. Most of their work is done at home. Granted, most of the members are re-tired, but that doesn’t mean they are bored. Along with other activities, these wom-en stand at their cutting ta-bles, or sit at their sewing machines and turn out these quilts. Most members say their favorite part of the month-ly meeting is Show and Tell. Members bring what they’ve completed the past month, whether it’s a quilt to be donated for a specific organization, or it’s a quilt for her newest great-grand-child, every quilt gets ooh’s and aah’s.

The 11 men were divided into two teams. One was responsible for building a ramp one day and helping to repair under-pinning on a house the next day. The other team built a larger ramp which took both days to complete. One of the men expressed his feelings about the trip. He thought he was going to Red Springs to bless some-one, only to realize later that he was there to be blessed. We serve an amazing God. My thanks to Pastor Kestler Ruth for the article and pho-tos.

County Line Mothers recognized at church services The Robinhood Road Family YMCA dedicated its hot yoga studio to Davie resident John Budd for his passion and service in the practice of hatha and other forms of yoga. Budd is a dedicated member of the YMCA of Northwest North Carolina (NWNC) whose passion for yoga has been instrumen-tal in growing the YMCA's yoga classes and group exercise offerings, said YMCA of NWNC CEO, Darryl Head.Having studied yoga since 1985, he knew the benefits hatha yoga could provide his fellow Y mem-bers and recognized the need for a practice space. In 2012 he decided to create that space by donating the necessary funds to build it at the Robinhood Y.Originally designed for hatha yoga, the Robinhood Y’s Hot Yoga Studio has expanded to offer multiple class types that serve ap-proximately 50,000 partici-pants annually.“We are so thankful for John’s gift to the Y and the numerous lives we have been able to impact through our use of the studio,” Head said. “Dedicating the studio to him serves as a constant reminder of his passion for the Y, his community and yoga. It will continue to support our members and inspire them to reach their God-given potential.”The Hot Yoga Studio is a testament to the YMCA's commitment to building strong, healthy commu-nities through fitness and wellness programs, he said. The Y offers a range of yoga classes for people of all ages and abilities, includ-ing Hot Flow, Restorative Yoga, Warm Hatha Yoga and more. John Budd and other guest watch the dedication ceremony. At right, YMCA officials make the official studio proclamation. John Budd of Davie holds the sign designating the yoga studo at the Robinhood YMCA in Win- ston-Salem be named in his honor. Budd is joined by family members at the yoga studio he helped to fund.
