Keep an eye on library board To the editor: As a Davie County resident and current PFLAG Salis-bury Rowan chapter vice president, I have some concerns about the seemingly back-door politics between the coun-ty commissioners and the library board of trustees. Why would the commissioners not take the recommen-dation of the very board of trustees that was created to make these kind of recommendations? With the current political climate, this makes me suspicious. Keep a steady eye on this, Davie County.A library is meant to expand one's mind with the diver- sity of its contents. Books help people get a better idea of the world and their place in it. Books are a portal to differ-ent life experiences and reading encourages empathy and social-emotional development. These are characteristics that are necessary of a well-functioning society.I attended the May 18 meeting of the Davie County Library Board of Trustees and had the pleasure to meet several of the library employees. I respect their love and knowledge of books and library resources and credit them for their valuable dedication to this community.Wendy Vernon, Mocksville SafetyBy Marie CraigMy grandson started basic training at Fort Jackson this week. I’ve worried about him a lot. I guess women are prone to be cowards and fearful. Staying out of harm’s way has been my unwritten rule. I can remember my mother telling me, “Your daddy might have to go away.” Luckily, he didn’t. A health issue, and his job in a furniture factory making war equipment helped prevent his possible military service. The Vietnam War raised its ugly head and threatened our marriage and future but thankfully was avoided. My son served in Iraq for a year and came home safe. I was teaching math in a community college during the Persian Gulf War. The day that the ground war started I re-alized they were not hearing a word I was saying. We had to stop and talk about it. A young man sitting on the front row said, “I just know that I’ll be drafted, and the first day over there I’ll be shot dead.” Somehow, I remembered a story I’d been told. “Let me tell you a true story that my landlady in Franklin told me years ago. There was a farm family near her who had one son. During World War Two, they were so worried about him. They were concerned that he would be drafted, and he was. They were concerned that he would be sent over-seas, and he was. They were concerned that he would be killed, but he got home safe and sound. While he was rest-ing up on his folks’ farm, he walked across the pasture. The bull gored him and killed him.”This student was horrified and said, “Mrs. Craig, why did you tell me this horrible story?”“Because you are never a hundred percent safe.” He sighed and said, “I guess you’re right.” Advance to OrientalBy Gaye HootsFaye was discharged after two days in the hospital with no med changes and two follow-up appointments. Brad, Ken, and Annie are helping, but Nick prepares the meals and has night duty, which means he is up with her at times during the night and never gets a whole night’s sleep. Ken-dra helps 40 hours a week, and I have committed to stay-ing the first two weeks of every month.Many families face similar issues with aging family members. My brother is dependent on his wife and is on oxygen around the clock. He spends his time in a reclin-er and can walk to the bathroom, but due to Emphysema, he is unable to do anything else. Travisene Boger’s older brothers and her sister-in-law are having severe health is-sues, and Bill Evans is finally back home after a long battle to maintain his independence.I did not have time to spend with friends but on my way home, I stopped to see Judy Howard. She is always perfectly groomed and greets me with a bright smile and a hug. When I updated her on Faye’s health she stated, “You know my parents and brothers are all gone.” Judy has always been a trooper, and I admire how she adapts and takes things in stride.My trip home was uneventful, and I was glad to be home with my feet on the couch and a beautiful outside view. I did get to Morehead by ferry to spend the day with my grandkids, which always lifts my mood. I have been sleeping late and catching up on rest, but I feel guilty when I read about everything others my age are doing. Dolly Parton is my age, and I just read about her performance at the CMA’s and that she has a new album out. Willie Nel-son is 90 and still performing. Locally Lorene Markland provides meals for Faye and others in the community with health issues. The young minister at Advance Methodist has called on her, sent flowers from the church, and called Nick for updates. He is also enrolled in graduate studies at Duke.I have become health-conscious and made a few dietary changes, but I need to be more active regarding physical exercise. It is so easy to grab a book and disappear into it To the editor:I would like to say thank you publicly to the wonderful staff at SmartStart of Davie County. We are so fortunate to have this wonderful agency in Mocksville. I love to check out the learning kits for my grandchil-dren, and we have all learned so much about child devel-opment through their supplies and educational materials. My grandsons just love the curated play collections.Every time I stop by their office, I am greeted warmly and helped compassionately. I encourage everyone in Da- vie County to take advantage of the wonderful program-ming they offer for families with children between 0 and 5 years old. I am grateful for Gena, Tracy, Harriet, Allison, and Tara. I encourage every parent, grandparent, and caregiver of infants, toddlers, and preschoolers in Davie County to visit their website (www.DavieSmartStart.org) or stop by their office on Yadkinville Road.Cathy SpeightMocksville Take advantage of Smart Start for hours. With a wall of windows, I feel like I am outside, and watching the birds and boats is a favorite pastime. I want to explore some areas here, but I will keep saying later.Those of us who have good health have much to be grateful for, and I am happy to hear and read about the trips and activities of friends and classmates. My great-grand-daughter will soon be attending her prom, and I see pic-tures of others her age on Facebook who have their lives before them. It is hard to believe how quickly time passes. I can close my eyes and be back in school, experiencing the same things or enjoying life with childhood friends. Every day I remember my grandparents and parents and growing up with my siblings. We were and are blessed. Close EncountersBy Julie Terry CartnerLast week as I pulled into a parking place at a store, I noticed a dog, complete with collar and leash, wandering around unattended, looking sad and lost. Fearing for the dog’s safety, I walked over to her. As I reached for her leash, I heard someone call out, “Hey, she’s mine,” so I walked the dog over to the owner. I could tell two things immediately. The couple in the vehicle were arguing, quite intensely, and they were both under the influence of some-thing to the point that neither should drive.Handing the leash to the woman, I rushed into the gro-cery store for help, asking them to call 911, then I returned outside, not sure what to do, but wanting to be ready to help if needed. By then several other women had stopped, and one had called the police who warned her to stay back to ensure our safety. The fight had escalated; the man was standing over the woman hitting her, and she was screaming. May-be because the man saw us witnessing his behavior, he let the woman get away. With our encouragement, she ran to-wards us. The man dragged the dog after her and said he was leaving. Thankfully, before he could get behind the wheel, the police arrived. Two of us stayed as witnesses, but from that point forward the police handled the situa-tion.Now, to the points I wish to make: First, people care. Several women, complete strangers, stood, shoulder to shoulder, ready to help. Second, this wasn’t something random we saw on the news. This was up close and per-sonal. It is easy to watch the news and think things like “how sad,” and then go on with the day. Those of us who were there that day encountered this event up close and personal. I, and I’m sure the rest of them, can’t get it out of my mind. When it was over, I was shaking, and I cried randomly for the rest of the day. I’m tearing up as I’m writing this. How sad…understatement. It’s devastating. How did this young woman get to this point? And how can we help her?A lot happened in a short period of time, but the wom-an’s words resonate in my head over everything else that happened. When we told her she was safe, we’d protect her, and we’d called the police, her reply was, “Don’t call As you go to those first swimming pool parties and backyard cookouts this weekend, take time to remember.Remember our brothers and sisters, mothers and fa-thers, grandfathers and friends who left home in service of our country and never returned.Whether drafted or served voluntarily, they are our true heroes.

Garfield DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, May 25, 2023 - 3 The following is a story by Marie Craig, which one first place in the Davie Senior Services Silver-Arts competition in the “Short Story-Historical Fiction” category. Other literary arts winners will be published in subsequent editions. By Marie Craig“Do I have to go on this dumb field trip?” Thomas asked his mother. “Of course you do. Now that you’re in the eighth grade you should know more about your county. There is a lot of interesting history in Davie.”So, here he was at a historic old home in his Presidential Mothers By Betty Etchison WestFor the Enterprise Hannah Milhous was a member of a well-to-do family, and things were go-ing well for her. She had just finished two years at Whittier Col-lege. Hannah and her fam-ily members, devout Quak-ers, were at a meeting when a visitor came in. That vis-itor was Frank Nixon, who was not a Quaker, which was easy to tell because Frank could not seem to stop talking. The Quakers were quiet, thoughtful people.Hannah is described in Bonnie Angelo’s book, “First Mothers, The Wom-en Who Shaped the Pres-idents:” “Hannah was a young lady of admirable composure, with a grave face made more arrest-ing by surprisingly dark, straight, heavy eyebrows and a concave uptilted nose.” Does this not sound like a description of the 37th President, Richard M. Nixon?).The quiet, contempla-tive Hannah and the outgo-ing, loud, short-tempered Frank were attracted. Four months and 10 days after Frank Nixon and Hannah Milhous met at the Quaker meeting, they were mar-ried. Their marriage was one that had many rough spots, but Hannah worked tire-lessly to provide a happy, secure home for her family. One of Richard Nixon’s brothers said: “He (Frank) was up-front, open-hearted, generous, but very opinion-ated. He was the leader of the family, no question, but my mother was the peace-maker. My father would spout off before thinking about it. He loved a funny story and he loved to ar-gue—it was up to my moth-er to make peace.” All of that loud boister-ous activity was hard for quiet, thoughtful Hannah.Frank Nixon bought land in Yorba Linda, Calif., with the idea of starting a lemon grove. He built a house there. It is believed that Frank Nixon ordered a kit from a mail order com-pany from which to build his house. The house was small; it had only about 900 square feet of floor space, but it was home to Hannah, who was able to display her wedding gifts—her china, silver, pretty pitcher etc. Also, she had room for her piano, which she hoped her children would learn to play. (Richard actually became quite an accom-plished pianist.) The fami-ly fitted into the tiny dining room for their meals, and, at night, they would gather in the living room to sing songs around the piano. The growing boys slept in what was really a loft above the main floor. It was/is a strong house which still stands and is open to visi-tors. It was in front of that little house is where the for-mer Richard Nixon’s funer-al was held with Rev. Billy Graham officiating. Pat and Richard are buried in the garden near the tiny house that was their home. It turned out that the soil and climate in Yorba Lin-da wasn’t right for grow-ing lemons, so Frank had to seek another means of making a living. He bought a little plot of land and built a service station near Whit-tier, Calif. The service sta-tion was a more successful venture. One reason that it was a success was that Hannah “worked her fin-gers to the bone” baking pies and cakes to sell at the station. In her book, Bonnie Angelo says: “Before the sun had hoisted itself over the blue gray hills, Han-nah would have turned out dozens of pies and cakes, maybe 50 before she was finished, and she knew they would all be sold by closing time for 35 cents.” Hannah was a busy mother. She and Frank had five sons between 1909 and 1930. Harold was born in 1909, Richard in 1913, Donald in 1914, Arthur in 1918, and, 12 years later, Edward in 1930. When Hannah was doing all the baking for sale at the service station, her son who she always called Richard, not Dick, was of-ten in the kitchen with her. Hannah said, “Richard al-ways seemed to need me more than the four other sons did.” Many of the traits that were part of Richard Nix-on’s personality could be detected early, according to the Angelo book: “Miss George (Richard’s first grade teacher) remembered that Richard never smiled or laughed which suggest-ed a saturnine personality, a darker version of his moth-er’s traits, might have been a product of his genes.” Even at that early age cer-tain traits could be detected would present themselves in later years.Tragedy hit the family in 1925, when Arthur, the next to the youngest Nixon son died of tubercular encepha-litis. The Nixons were dev-astated. Hannah’s Quaker faith helped her. She saw Arthur’s death as God’s will. It had an opposite ef-fect on Frank who believed that God was punishing him for his transgressions. From that time on, he closed his service station on Sunday and began testi-fying in church. Then Har-old, the outgoing member of the family, took tubercu-losis. The family took Har-old to Arizona where they believed the climate might help him. Hannah nursed Harold and other TB pa-tients for three years, but Harold died in 1933. By the time that Richard was 20, two of his brothers had died. It is believed that the death of those brothers may have had a detrimental ef-fect on Richard.Hannah had always en-couraged her sons to reach for the stars. She really hoped that Richard would become a minister, but that was not to be. He graduated from Whittier College and wanted to go to law school but there was no money. Triumph. He was accepted at Duke University Law School in North Carolina where he was offered a full scholarship. The President of Whittier College prob-ably pulled the strings that resulted in Duke offering the high-achieving Richard a full scholarship. After Richard graduated from Duke, he could not find a job. Once again, his mother came to his rescue. She asked an old lawyer friend in Whittier to let her son join his practice. The friend did just that. It was while he was working at that law firm that Rich-ard, then often called Dick, heard about a pretty young lady who was teaching at the local high school. He made it a point to meet Miss Ryan, whose name was Thelma, but who was called Pat. As soon as he met Pat, Dick decided he was going to marry her. Pat was not nearly so sure about that, but she finally decided that marrying Dick Nixon was a good idea so she said “yes.” Pat and Dick were married just before Japan bombed Pearl Harbor. Af-ter Pearl Harbor, Dick de-cided that he should join the Navy. With Dick gone, it would have been nice if Hannah and her daugh-ter-in-law, Pat, could have developed a close relation-ship, but that did not hap-pen. Pat said that she and her mother-in-law did not have much in common. They did, however, have one thing in common: they both would sacrifice every-thing to support and ad-vance Richard. After serving in the Navy in the Pacific and receiving his discharge, luck was with Dick. The Republicans were looking for a candidate to run as California’s 12th District Representative in the U.S. House of Representative. Dick, who had all of the right qualifications, was chosen. He won that race and many more. He also lost some races and would become quite bitter. There were times when his per-sonality was a lot like that of his mother, but, at other times, it seemed that he had inherited certain undesir-able personality traits from his father and that did not work well.Hannah supported her son in his every election as long as she lived, but she did not live to see him become President. She died on Sept. 30, 1967, and Richard Milhous Nix-on was not inaugurated as President until 1969. The following information is found in Angelo’s book: “In his wrenching farewell to the White House staff af-ter he resigned, Nixon said as he spoke of his mother, ‘She will have no book written about her –but she was a saint’.” The Richard Nixon homeplace in California. Hannah Nixon a quiet and calm influence on sons Continued From Page 2the police; he’s a good man.” Through her bruises and tears, he was still, “a good man.” She told us he had taken her in and that made him a good man. How many women stay in bad relationships because of that sense of gratitude?Then she said, “What am I going to do? I’m a drunk; I’m homeless: I don’t have anybody, and I have a dog.” I had no answer for her.The thing is, nobody wakes up one day and says, I’m going to become, in her words, “a drunk.” Many articles, including one from the Mayo Clinic, show a direct cor-relation between mental health and alcoholism, stating, “It is common for people with a mental health disorder…to have problems with alcohol or other substances.” [“Alco-hol Use Disorder” Mayo Clinic. 18 May 2022. Mayoclin-ic.org] I can’t pretend to know what got this woman to this stage in her life, but it’s so important not to judge people. One never knows what factors have impacted her life. Mental illness is certainly a possibility.I am not a psychologist, but logic tells me that this young woman’s alcohol abuse has a cause, and hopefully a solution. Her homelessness has a cause, and, hopefully, a solution. Her willingness to call a man who beat her, “a good man,” has a cause, and, hopefully, a solution. Da-vie County has organizations to help, as do most counties, and I applaud all those who work in these areas. I wonder though, how we can get to the root of the problem and, in the words of Barney Fife, “Nip it in the bud”; we need to seek the causes and eradicate them before they result in the problems this young woman and so many young adults are facing today. Renegade ... county that had become a museum. His history teach-er had already assigned a project of writing a report on something special they experienced on this trip. He couldn’t believe that in his county there was such a huge and fancy house with expensive furniture. Thomas had very little in-terest in this field trip and was in the back of the group of class members who were selecting unidentified ob-jects to study. There was a stack of papers on the table, and Thomas leaned over to see what they said. As he quickly read down the page, he saw lots of names of family history, a date of 1751, and the loca- tion of Cooleemee, Row-an County. “Why, that’s where I live! This can’t be right. Cooleemee is in Da-vie County. Why do these pages say Rowan County?” Thomas asked out loud. Then he remembered his teacher had explained to them that before 1836, there was no Davie Coun-ty. In that year, the land in the northern part of Row-an County bounded by the two Yadkin Rivers was removed from Rowan and became Davie County. It had been known as Forks of the Yadkin before that. She said that there wasn’t even a town of Cooleemee long ago. It was created when the cotton mill was built about 1890. He decided that this address of Rowan County was correct before 1836. He was glad he had remembered that. Math was hard for him because he wanted to know why he would ever need to know all those rules and ways of figuring, but he had a good memory for numbers and dates and could figure out math problems in his head.Thomas had never heard about this family, except maybe something about a Pearson Family Cemetery, east of Cooleemee, and he wanted to learn more about them and his area where they had lived. He wondered where they had lived and what brought them there. He was a little bewildered after reading the papers much too quick-ly. He finally decided that this boring stack of papers might be interesting after all. The top line listed Rich-mond Pearson, born in Vir-ginia in 1751, and the next was his wife, Sarah Haden, who died, leaving four chil-dren at home, a girl and then three boys. Then he realized there was a second wife, Elizabeth Mumford, who had six children, two girls and then four boys. He was amazed that this family had ten children. That was surely different from all the people he knew.He used his index fin-ger to point to each name, but when he touched the name Joseph Pearson, he immediately had a strong feeling that he was not to-tally in charge of himself. The surroundings dimmed and flashed and made buzz-ing sounds. Suddenly, he wasn’t at the house any more but was on a grassy, flat surface watching two men in old-timey clothes standing with their backs to each other with pistols ready to fire. Wow, where am I, he thought. Thomas ducked be-hind a tree so the people wouldn’t see him. Nobody realized he was there. To his horror, as he peeked around the tree, he watched the two men walk away from each other, then turn, and at a loud voice saying, “Fire” they both shot at each other, missing. He re-membered reading that in such a case, they could fire again, and so they did. One of the men collapsed on the ground holding his side. There were two assistants for each man, and one of them doctored the wound-ed person. Thomas decided that he should leave as quick-ly as possible, but where would he go? He had no idea where he was or how to get back to the museum. At first, he assumed he was watching the filming of a current movie with old costumes, but after watch-ing all the people involved, he realized he wasn’t sure of the time period, and he didn’t see any cameras. As he walked from behind the tree, the man who was not wounded saw him and stopped him. “What are you doing here? You need to be with your family. You are not welcome here.” Thomas told him his name and that he was lost and very concerned since the man was still holding the pistol that had just shot a man. He started to answer with more information and found that he had lost his voice. He was finally able to ask the man to put the gun down. The man did, and said, “My name is Jo-seph Pearson, and I need to ask you if you’ve ever seen a duel before? We usual-ly don’t let young people come to one.” “No, sir, I didn’t know anybody still did that. Is that man going to be okay, and why did you shoot him?” Thomas was amazed that he could utter this many words.“That’s the way we handle disagreements be-tween gentlemen. My brother, Jessie A. Pearson, fought a duel also. This is what we do.” “What was your argu-ment about? Surely you could have settled it easier. Did you have a disagree-ment just recently?” The man answered, “No, it was actually six months ago. It probably would have been settled easily, but the newspapers kept writ-ing about it and trying to get us to become even an-grier with each other. They won’t leave us alone.” Thomas decided that some things never change. “I am a member of the Federalist Party and oppose war. My opponent today, John George Jackson, is a member of the opposing party, and he has a differ-ent idea about things. We are both members of the United States Congress and have been arguing since I started serving at the begin-ning of this year. I am from Salisbury, North Carolina, and he is from Virginia.”Thomas was surprised to meet the man that he was just studying at the muse-um. He was interested to hear that Joseph was from Salisbury which was only about 20 miles south of his own home in Coolee-mee. “I know where Salis-bury, North Carolina, is. My home is in Cooleemee, north of there. So where are we now? I was in my county’s museum looking at some old papers that list-ed your family history, and the next thing I knew, I was here.”“This is Bladensburg, Maryland, about seven miles northeast of Wash-ington City. This is a duel-ing ground. How did you end up here, and where did you get those strange clothes? I don’t understand what’s going on that you seem so out of place.”Thomas thought that Joseph’s clothes looked strange but he didn’t say that. “I don’t know how I got here. We toured a big fancy home and then were looking at some items in a separate building. I’m not even sure of the date. When I was at the museum earlier today, the year was 2020. What year is it for you?”“I think you must be very confused or mentally deranged. Why, everybody knows the date -- Decem-ber 4, 1809!” Thomas gasped and couldn’t believe it was that long ago.

She’ll take welding through Davidson-Davie Community College next year.She remembers that award-winning butterfly. Students were shown heaps of scrap metal, and had to pick out the pieces and weld their creation together. “I saw the pieces and it just fell into place, more than I thought they would,” she said of the design. “Blood, sweat and tears went into that project. I cut myself so many times.”“It’s fun. The experience we get here is awesome. We can all do our own things, whatever you’re best at or want to do.”She is the daughter of Marty and Danielle Ander-son.•Ashlyn drives a ‘98 Jeep Cherokee, so taking an au-tomotive technology class seemed like a natural fit. “You never know when you might be stranded on the side of the road.”“I want to learn how to work on my own Jeep at home,” she said. “I know how to change a tire, and I can do an oil change.”It took a while, but the boys in the class now realize she can hold her own while working on vehicles. “Most of the guys say they’re in-timidated by me, but I’m not intimidating at all. I’ve been thinking of going to UTI (Universal Technical Institute) and taking their courses,” she said.Ashlyn is the daughter of Brian and Amanda Cul-lipher of Advance.•Kayden, a sophomore, knew a thing or two about cars when she enrolled in automotive technology. After all, she’s been racing drag cars since age 9. Her brother also races. So does her father.“I love hands-on things, especially putting things to-gether,” she said. “I knew more than most of the boys when we started, but we’re learning new stuff.”She especially likes Farmington Dragway, and hopes to continue racing lat-er in life. “I like the compe-tition against all the boys,” she said.“I hope to continue rac-ing and become an elemen- Majesta Anderson welds at a Davie High class.

Rea-gan thought the same could work for her vehicle, so she went to work designing a device that would hold the beads and attach to vents on the air system.“My car smells good,” she said. “My dad said if I wanted to sell some, he could get me some custom-ers.”Reagan plans on becom-ing a paramedic and nurse, but said the drafting class has opened her eyes to other possibilities.“Just have fun and don’t stress too much,” she said. “If you have an idea, tell Mr. Marrs and he’ll help you.”She is the daughter of Melissa and Chris Klutz and Damian and Crystal Poole. •Sydney Shook also took drafting “for fun,” but found it more educational than she ever imagined.She explained how she and other class members made a roller assembly, a part of a machine that had multiple moving parts that had to fit together perfectly. “It can be confusing, you have to use the right com-mands.”The senior encourages other students to try career classes that may be out of their comfort zone.“Try it. If you don’t like it, you don’t have to contin-ue, but you can learn some-thing and have a little fun.”She will attend Mitchell Community College, and hopes to study biology at UNC Charlotte. She is the daughter of Shawna Jusko and Chris Shook.•Gracie Wilson decided last year she wanted to take all of the career classes she could at Davie High.“I’m planning to become an engineer, hopefully a mechanical engineer,” she said. “I love drafting so much, and building and de- signing things.”She will attend Southern Wesleyan on a volleyball scholarship, and be dually enrolled at Clemson Uni-versity. She is the daughter of Kelly and Matt Wilson.The Davie High experi-ence is something she will never forget.“The people here, and how the teachers care about you a lot and will do any-thing for you is what makes this place special.” Teacher Will Marrs helps Reagan Poole in drafting. - Photos by Mike Barnhardt Sydney Shook describes a roller assembly she helped to design.

Scholarship donors and foundation board members joined the scholars’ fami-lies and friends in cheering as they walked the red car-pet. In honor of the foun-dation’s 35th anniversary, the board made a one-time investment of $3,500 in a young person who exem-plifies commitment to the community, academic ex-cellence, good character, and volunteerism. Madi Rogers, SURF Board Youth Grantmakers President, was selected. The foundation con-tinues to grow and invest in more students as new scholarship funds are add-ed, said Melissa O’Connor, foundation senior program officer. The Ashton G. Brown Memorial Scholarship, Davie High Class of 1988 Scholarship, Lori Ann Gonnella Community Scholarship, and Thomas Pennington Blanton Schol-arship were awarded for the first time. “What a beauti-ful legacy these families and classmates are leaving by investing in students,” O’Connor said. After the scholarships were announced, the re-cipients were able to mix and mingle with donors for cake and conversation. “It is very important for our youth to understand the meaning and message behind their scholarship. Looking around the room and seeing donors and stu-dents talking and posing for pictures is what the red car-pet reception is all about. It is exciting to think of the connections being made,” she said.“We received 193 very impressive scholarship ap-plications this year. I had several committees share that they wished they could award a scholarship to all their applicants. It is just one of the reasons I love working with our generous donors. They have huge hearts and truly want the best for all our students. “I love reading our ar-ticles on past scholars and look forward to seeing what the future holds for our 2023 scholars. I hope a lot of these scholars return to Davie to share their tal-ents,” O’Connor said.In 2023, the foundation has awarded $271,772 in scholarships to 91 high school and college stu-dents. Graduate and health-care focused scholarship applications are open at www.daviefoundation.org with a deadline of June 1.

Federation of Mu-sic Clubs state titles and awards.Mallory Andrews won the National Music Week Essay Contest for the state. Mallory’s submission was chosen from among 78 en-tries. She also won a cash award. Her winning entry was featured in the national publication of NFMC, “Ju-nior Keynotes.” Below is a reprint of Mal-lory’s winning entry: Music – My Worldwide Adventure! By Mallory Andrews“I was in the car, on my way to my favorite place in all the world – the BEACH! I turned on the radio to hear some beach music and was surprised to hear a Christ-mas song playing. It was the middle of summer! All of a sudden, I was in the middle of snow and lights. Giulianna Steuart and Mallory Andrews are state music contest winners. I could immediately picture our family Christmas tree and all of the decorations – even the small Christ-mas tree in my own room. Wait – it was summer, not the time for Christmas, but for a brief moment I was whisked away to that happy time of year.I turned the station and then heard country music playing. My mind jumped forward to a farm in the middle of nowhere. There were cowboys and animals, fences and a farmhouse. While this music seemed out of place for a trip to the beach, just from hearing it, I could picture all the things that my mind imagined in a country music setting.So, I just kept changing the channel to find some beach travel music. Along the way, I heard music from all different kinds of places. I heard a bit of a Beethoven classical piece – which of course made me pause and think of Germany for a mo-ment. The next station had a Mariachi band playing and made me think of Mex-ico. I also found a ukulele being played and I thought for a moment about a luau on one of the Hawaiian Is-lands somewhere.I realized I would just need to keep changing the station to find the music I had started searching for as I traveled on a worldwide adventure to get there. Be-fore I knew it, I had trav-eled all over the world in search of the music for a beach travel day, but it was fun. As I sat back and just listened for the rest of the trip, it made me realize that even a car radio can take you anyplace with music! That is how I went on my worldwide adventure in music, never even leaving my car as we were just on our way to the beach, one day back in the summer.”Mallory is 13 and in sev- enth grade at Ellis Middle School.

She is a member of St. Tim-othy’s Episcopal Church in Winston-Salem. Giulianna has also earned the annual music award presented each year by the Music Studio of Teresia Queen – “Personal Best Memory” for the past five consecutive years.Although Giulianna has been writing and composing music for a few years now, this is the first year she has entered the NFMC Junior Composer’s Contest. “I entered the compos-er’s contest because I love composing my own songs. After I had written my com-petition piece and played it through for the first time, I imagined a time when I was younger and took a night walk through the snow with my family. That’s how the title ‘Snowy Night’ came to be. “I was nervous to enter this contest for the first time, but I’m so glad I did. The experience has been very rewarding.” Giulianna scored a Su-perior + for her first entry with the judge’s comments including: “Giulianna, I found my-self mesmerized by your ABA composition form with coda for Snowy Night. I could picture myself at the window, looking out at the snow and maybe feeling a bit lonely. Then my friends came to the door and we went out to play. “The key of G Minor with a short tonicization to the key of C Major at ‘spar-kling’ is a delightful choice to convey your mood. The amount of creativity you poured into just a few mea-sures was as full as an entire concerto. Your notation is beautifully done by hand, “Bravissimo, Giulianna, I think you have a future in film score writing if you wish. Please keep play-ing and writing music,” the judge wrote.The NCFMC is the state organization belonging to the National Federation of Music Clubs, an organiza-tion of musicians and music lovers.The NFMC celebrated its 125th anniversary this year with its annual sponsorship of National Music Week in May. This was the 101st year of the observance. The week was filled with music programs presented across the nation, radio and televi-sion shows, a national Mu-sic Week Essay contest and a national Music in Poetry Contest. Opportunities were pro-vided for organized musical forces throughout the U.S., as well as religious, educa-tional and civic groups to join music lovers in empha-sizing the joy and pleasure to be gained from making music. “This year’s National Mu-sic Week theme was ‘Music ... A Worldwide Adventure’ and was chosen by NFMC as an encouragement to all to explore the far-reaching effects of music in our lives and to discover the added dimension it can bring to the world today,” Queen said. contemporary sound of to-day’s Top 40,” she said. “Although specializing as a party band, the band’s rep-ertoire encompasses a wide variety of musical styles, including R&B, Beach, Mo-town/Oldies, Pop, Dance, Funk and Jazz.”This year’s concerts will once again be presented at the Town Center on Kinder-ton Boulevard (off US 158). “Remember to bring your lawn chair, and if you wish a picnic/cooler to enjoy the concert,” Suggs said. “Should weather cause the concert to be canceled or rescheduled to Sunday, May 28th that information will be shown on Davie County Arts Council’s Facebook site.” ourdavie.com Music ...

Is that the same as Washington City?” Joseph said he’d never heard of D.C. and wanted to know what that stood for. The boy and the man stared at each other in disbelief, but neither had any idea of what to do about the situation. Joseph and his driver were preparing to depart the scene and head back in his horse and buggy to his home in Washington City. Thomas was feeling very alone and upset. Finally, Joseph asked Thomas if he wanted to go home with him. “I live alone except for servants, but you’re welcome to ac-company me. Perhaps then we can figure out what to do for you.” Joseph bid fare-well to his friends who were walking toward their own carriage rides home.Thomas reluctantly climbed in for the ride to Washington. There was so much he wanted to know about Joseph and his fam-ily. “Sir, would you tell me about yourself, your family, and where you lived near me.”Joseph decided to answer these questions to keep the boy entertained on their ride to his home. “I was born in 1780 in a big house that was on the banks of the Lower Community Day; they joined the sponsoring Ki-wanis Club of Clemmons. “We spoke to folks about our club, gave out informa-tion, free popcorn and can-dy pops,” said Ina Beavers.Kiwanis Club of Mocks-ville meets the second and fourth Mondays of each month at the Davie County Public Library on North Main Street in Mocksville at 6:30 p.m. Anyone interested is invited.

Women in Faith reviving mini-retreat Davie Kiwanis training for service History ... Yadkin River. My mother died, but my father, Rich-mond Pearson, still lives there with his second wife and many children.” Thomas remembered from the papers at the mu-seum that the oldest child, Betsy, married Colonel John Stokes. Stokes County was named for him. The oldest child in the second family, Sallie, married Isaac Croom. They moved to Greensboro, Alabama, where they had a huge plantation that was placed on the National His-toric Registry. Their grand-son was a hero in the Span-ish American War. He remembered reading notes about a male from the second family, Richmond Mumford Pearson who had been a North Carolina Su-perior Court Judge in addi-tion to having a law school in Mocksville and later up in Yadkin County. There were lots of men with the name Richmond, and lots of women named Elizabeth. That must have been really confusing to all of them. A male from the first family was Jesse A. Pearson who was in the War of 1812 and a state representative. Thomas realized he could say nothing about this to Joseph because these events hadn’t happened yet in his current situation. Jo-seph continued, “My father has a grist mill near our home that is powered by the river. That’s the reason he moved from Virginia. The river drops in elevation, and when he had a dam built there, he could use the wa-ter power for his mill. Our home, Richmond Hill, is nearby, on the river.”“I went to school in Statesville, and then I got a law degree, and I have been a lawyer in Salisbury. I own many acres of land near my father and travel there to oversee the work-ers and the crops. My father has a big farm also. We sell crops all over the state and have a vision of developing the larger Yadkin River into a transportation system for delivering produce down-state, but it’ll take a lot of work and money to make the river navigable.” Thom-as had crossed that river when they went to Winston-Salem, or farther south to go to Lexington. He didn’t remember ever seeing any boats in the river except for small fishing boats. So, it must not have happened. He didn’t tell this fact to Jo-seph. “My father had a small role in the Revolutionary War and has the honorary title of Colonel. My brother, Jessie, is also involved in the military and hopes that we go to war again against England. I am against war and hope that we can pre-vent it.”Thomas asked, “You said you live alone; you don’t have a family?” Joseph sighed and told him, “I was single when I served in the House of Commons, North Caro-lina General Assembly for two years, during 1804 and 1805. Almost four years ago, on January 6, 1806, I married Nancy Anna Maria McLin from Craven Coun-ty, North Carolina. This was when we lived in Salisbury. We were very happy and went to visit my family in the Forks of the Yadkin very often. We were married for only eight months when she died. She is buried at our family’s cemetery about two miles from our home. I’ve been single since then but hope to remarry some-day.”The buggy bumped and jostled along on the dirt road heading back to Washing-ton City on their cold win-ter ride. Thomas had never gone on such an uncomfort-able trip. He thought about his family’s car with air conditioning, heater, and smooth ride on paved roads. This reminded him of his family, and he wondered if he’d ever find them again. He began to wish that he’d been more appreciative of their concern for him.After an uncomfortable silence, Joseph asked the boy, “What is your favorite subject at school?” What will Thomas’ answer be?

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.

Local obituaries ONLINE www.ourdavie.com 14 - DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, May 25, 2023 Bless Your Spoon By Stephanie Williams Dean Mike and Kathy Swain enjoy the buffet at the Blue Jeans and Boots Dinner, where guests were greeted by the Dodge Challenger and “P” on the iron gate to the home of Richard Petty. They were served a traditional southern barbecue meal, and each, including the author at right, had their photo made with The King. As I approached the home of The King, the only sign of royalty I noticed was a gold “P” in the middle of the wrought iron gate – and the man himself – having reached the golden age of 85. I stood in awe of The King. I wasn’t in awe because of his racing, although I’m a fan of the sport, but for all the good this man has done in the world. Car racing legend Richard Petty had opened the gates surround-ing his home . The sporty car – a Dodge Challenger – sat out front. A mess of fans had come from far and wide to the dressed-down fundraiser, a Blue Jeans and Boots Dinner – a name that bespeaks of the man’s simple nature. Guess who sat in a chair wait-ing to greet us as we entered? The King, himself. Every person who walked through those gates received a friendly handshake, a hearty, white toothy grin, and their picture made with Petty. I was mesmerized – in my book, Petty’s still a winner and leads the pack. Petty fans were in for a treat – but they’d paid for it as tickets cost somewhere upward of $200. Guests were entertained with live music and a buffet that generated many oohs and ahhs. Perfect for an upcoming holiday – a traditional barbecue menu was served consisting of beef brisket, racks of tender, meaty ribs, fresh green beans, bar-becue beans, and Southern favorite – mac and cheese. And no down-home meal would have been complete without an old-fashioned banana pudding – the scratch kind. Sweet tea and lemonade were choice beverages – but the flow of Shine Girl moonshine and Titos vodka moved auc-tion bidding much higher. One might have believed the of-ferings were made of pure gold. The live auction generated $3,000 for a Petty wall clock with The King’s signature on the back. A watch Petty removed from his arm – signing the band in person – fetched a whopping $2,000. Amazing moments. As the sun set for the day, tiny glistening lights on trees gave the Petty compound a magical feel.Look at the difference one man’s been able to make in society. He’s still making money and giving it away. Pet-ty’s life has been nothing less than admirable. What amaz-es me most are not all his race wins or what the Petty name means to racing, but the success he’s achieved through personal generosity. I have such admiration for this man. So much good work’s been performed through the Petty Family Foundation – a benefactor supporting causes that have long-term impacts in focused areas of the community. So, what’s in a name? When your name’s Petty – a lot. And I could say many more great things about the king of racing. But instead, I’m going to root for the real hero in every story – our true King. In Deuteronomy 11:17-19, Moses says, “For the Lord, your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great God, mighty and awesome, who shows no partiality and accepts no bribes. He defends the cause of the fatherless and the widow, and loves the alien, giving him food and clothing. And you are to love those who are aliens, for you your-selves were aliens in Egypt.” (NIV)Back then, other local gods were worshipped through-out the land – and Moses is distinguishing the real God. And going further, Moses tells us that our God is one who believes in justice – showing no partiality and accepting no bribes. And although our sins might deserve punish-ment, God loves us and will treat merciful, every man who seeks Him. For He’s the real deal – the King of kings and Lord of lords. And He shall reign forever and ever.

DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, May 25, 2023 - B1Sports By Brian PittsEnterprise Record A glorious week saw Davie’s baseball team batter Ragsdale (12-1), stun East Forsyth for the third time (8-3) and win two playoff games for the first time since 2012. But Davie’s dream of making the state quarterfinals for the first time since 2006 died a swift death in a third-round game at Reagan on May 17. A Raider bombed a two-run homer in the second inning, and that proved to be the only support pitcher Levi Strahm needed as Reagan knocked out Davie 7-1. Davie, the 18th seed in the West Region, finished 16-11. Reagan, the No. 10 seed, improved to 21-6 and beat Davie for the first time in three tries this season. Although the War Eagles were silenced by Strahm’s com-plete-game pitching, they had a prime opportunity to jump ahead in the top of the first inning. Leadoff man Coy James walked on a 3-2 pitch. The next batter, Parker Simmons, put down a per-fect bunt along the first-base line. There was no play. Davie quickly had two on with nobody out and By Brian PittsEnterprise Record Chris Reynolds has gone from obscurity (walk-on quarterback after zero Division-I or Division-II offers) to college stardom (he broke every Charlotte passing record) to professional QB. Reynolds signed a contract with the Calgary Stampeders of the Ca-nadian Football League on May 3. After leading the Davie War Ea-gles to 12 wins in 2016, Reynolds was shunned by all recruiters as far as scholarship offers were con-cerned. He made UNC Charlotte’s roster as a walk-on, but he was buried on the depth chart. Against all odds, he quickly rose to the starting role, led the 49ers for five years and rewrote the record book. Calgary started showing in-terest in Reynolds after the 2021 season. “They invited me to Vegas in January for a workout,” Reynolds said. “It was me, one other quar-terback and four receivers. I threw it really well, they were interested and they asked me what I’m look-ing to do. I said I wanted to finish out the (NFL) draft process - the undrafted free agent stuff - and then we can go from there. An undrafted free agent deal is some-thing I would want to take for the NFL, but a rookie minicamp ... not so much because it’s a tryout thing.”Reynolds wasn’t picked in the recent NFL Draft. He was hoping he’d get some offers as an undrafted free agent, but noth-ing developed. He was invited to the Carolina Panthers’ rookie minicamp, but Reynolds declined that opportunity and accepted Calgary’s offer. “(Carolina) drafted Bryce (Young of Alabama) and they have three other quarterbacks on the roster, including Andy Dalton, Matt Corral and Jacob Eason,” he said. “So it was going to be one of those situations where I would come in for minicamp, help out, take reps off of Bryce Young and then I’d probably be gone - unless something crazy happened with injuries.”Calgary remained patient as Reynolds held out hope for an NFL opportunity. “We kept in touch,” he said. “Then after the draft, they reached out and said have you heard any-thing post-draft? I said no, nothing right now. The following day after I didn’t hear much, when I found out I only had the minicamp invite, we pulled the trigger, they shipped the offer over and we signed and delivered it.”Signing the one-&-one contract By Brian PittsEnterprise Record From 1996-2021, no Davie boys tennis doubles team qualified for the state tournament. The great Burke Rosenbaum busted through that door twice. In 2022, Rosenbaum and his cousin C Crenshaw went 18-2 and became the first Davie duo to advance to the state in at least 27 years. In 2023, Rosenbaum and Bryce Bailey turned the trick. The Midwest Regional was held at Cox Mill on May 5-6. The Davie seniors had to win their first two matches to crack the top four and punch their state tickets. They did just that by ripping through Marvin Ridge (6-3, 6-1) and West Forsyth (6-2, 6-4) in the first two rounds. By Brian PittsDavie Enterprise Record It was a dream season for the Charlotte 49ers softball team. In 2019, when Anna Devereaux of Mocksville was a freshman, the 49ers went 15-35 and finished last in the East Division of Conference USA. On May 7, they clinched their first ever outright regular season championship with an 11-3 win over UAB. It was the first regu-lar-season title since 2006, when Charlotte shared first in the Atlan-tic 10 Conference. There are two former War Ea-gles on the Charlotte roster. The Rosenbaum ranks 2nd in tennis wins with 101 Please See 2nd - Page B2 Former War Eagles helping make 49er history “The Marvin Ridge match was a clinic on how to play doubles,” coach Shane Nixon said. “When Bryce was serving, Burke was at the net being super aggressive. When the guys were receiving, Bryce was using his unreal reflex-es to cover the net and allowing Burke to roam free and get to balls behind him.“The kids from West Forsyth, both underclassmen, are going to be really good. They’ll be state qualifiers more than once, but they were no match for my guys on this day.”One day later in the semifinals, the Davie duo met Mt. Tabor’s Adam Cartwright and Landon Wyshner for the fourth time. In the previous meeting, Rosenbaum/Bailey prevailed to capture the conference doubles title. They couldn’t, however, recapture that magic, falling 7-5, 2-6, 2-6 to the eventual regional champions. Rosenbaum/Bailey are really, really good. Cartwright/Wyshner are a notch above that. It’s that simple. The Tabor guys took three of four from Davie this year. “Saturday morning meant the showdown everyone expected,” Nixon said. “It is incredible the pace and accuracy (the Tabor boys) can get on their serves. The first set was back and forth. The second set the Tabor kids turned the volume up on their serves. There were some balls that simply should not be returned and yet Bryce would two-hand a backhand right over the net, or Burke would flick his wrist and somehow get it back. Like rounds one, two and three this year, this was a war. When they are other is freshman London Dirks of Mocksville. “Since we got here in (2020), this is what we have been working for and something we have talked a lot about with every team,” fourth-year coach Ashley Chastain said. “This is a special group and I couldn’t be happier for Bailey Vannhoy, Kassidy Krupit, Amelia Wiercioch, Grace Johnson, Lexi Wagner and Anna Devereaux for leading us this year as our six se-niors and everything they’ve done in the locker room to get this team prepared for a moment like this. I am so proud for the administration, Please See 49er - Page B2 Reynolds CFL debut June 8 Please See Reynolds - Page B2 Reagan silences Davie in 3rd round the meat of the order coming up. Alas, James and Simmons were stranded. Red-hot Davin Whitaker hit a bullet ... only to see it go straight to the right fielder. Cleanup man Brady Marshall hit one on the nose, but it was straight to the left fielder. The next man struck out and Strahm was off the hook. “Sometimes the ball bounces the way you want it to, and some-times it doesn’t,” coach Joey An-derson said. “Balls that we hit hard got caught. Balls that I thought would fall in got caught. When we had guys on, we weren’t able to capitalize.”Davie starter Braeden Rodgers cruised in the first but was touched up for two runs in the second. The rally started innocently when Aidan Cluskey singled to left after the first two batters were retired. Then senior Dakota Doll mashed a two-run homer to left-center. That’s considerable pop from the No. 7 spot in the order. “(Reagan coach Gary Nail) does a good job of spreading them out,” Anderson said. “Up and down the lineup they can be successful. They don’t get to where they’re at right now without swinging the bats.”Reagan produced two-out light-ning again in the third. No. 2 batter Andrew McAllister walked after the first two batters went down. Freshman Jacob Smith singled in the five-six hole. Then Mason Middleton blasted a two-run dou-ble to right-center. “They put good swings on pitches and hit it where we weren’t a lot of times,” Anderson said. Down 4-0, Davie got on the board in the fourth. Whitaker doubled off the first baseman’s outstretched glove. Parker Ader-hold singled to left. Jackson Sink ripped a run-scoring single to right. With a run in and only one out, Davie was looking for more. But back-to-back strikeouts kept Reagan in control at 4-1. “We just didn’t get that big hit, and sometimes that’s the way baseball is,” Anderson said. Davie’s last chance to make a run came in the sixth. But after Marshall led off with a walk, center fielder Charlie Stogner dove and robbed Aderhold. With Sink on first and pinch-runner Ty Goodson on second, Drew Krause hit a sinking liner to right. Cluskey could not make a diving catch, but he was able to get the force at second. Then a strikeout ended the inning and kept the score 4-1. “It’s a game of luck a lot of times. We didn’t have a lot of luck,” Anderson said. Reagan poured it on in the sixth, scoring three runs on two Please See Silences - Page B4 Parker Simmons sprints by his bunt that stops right beside the fair/foul line for an easy hit. - Photos by Leigh Bliss Simmons and first base coach Ross Hoffner.

She has seen her team grow from the depths of 15-35 in 2019 to 31-19 in 2021 to 35-23 in 2022 to 32-18 in 2023 (through May 7). The monumental win over UAB lifted Charlotte to 16-7 in the Conference USA stand-ings, a half-game ahead of North Texas and UAB, both of which finished 16-8. “I love being a Charlotte 49er because it gives me the opportunity to be a part of something bigger than my-self,” Devereaux said. “As a student and an athlete, there is comfort in knowing that no matter what problems you might face or no matter what you might be going through, you’ll never have to go through it alone. I just think that’s exactly what it means to be a part of the 49er family.”The 49ers carried the No. 1 seed into the conference tournament. They opened with a 4-3 win over Florida Atlantic, but then suffered back-to-back one-run losses (4-3 to North Texas and 6-5 49er ...

But when you sit back and think about it, you’re like: ‘Damn, I’m a professional athlete. I was a walk-on at Charlotte and now I’m in a situation where I get paid to play football. Wow, this is my job now. This is awesome.’ I always viewed football in college as my job, but now it’s solidified - this is what I do for work. When I say that, it’s so refreshing. I’m just thankful.”Reynolds headed to Cal-gary on May 8. Rookie minicamp began May 10. Training camp kicked off May 13. There are seven major rules differences between the CFL and the NFL. “I’ve got to learn a whole new game with different rules,” he said. “The field is wider. There’s three downs instead of four. The defensive line has to be a yard off the ball, but apparently the defenses run similar coverages.”The Stampeders, who were founded in 1945, have churned out 14 straight win-ning seasons, including a 12-6 record in 2022. They boast eight Grey Cup titles, the most recent in 2018. They played their first preseason game May 22. Their next preseason game is June 1. The 18-game season begins June 8 and ends Oct. 27. The 5-11, 196-pounder from Mocks-ville is among five QBs on the Calgary roster. to Middle Tennessee). Failing to win the confer-ence tournament meant they did not have an automatic berth to the NCAA Tourna-ment. They gathered at the coach’s home to watch the selection show. When Char-lotte’s name was announced, the room went instantly insane. It was another his-toric moment as Charlotte notched the first NCAA Tournament berth in the program’s 37-year history. Chastain was overcome with emotion. “To see their reaction and their faces and all the tears we just shed, I couldn’t be happier and I’m so excited for the program,” Chastain said. An overjoyed Devereaux said: “Being able to share a moment like that with this team, there is no one more deserving than all 22 girls on this squad. This is a year to remember.”Through May 7, Dever-eaux, who shares time in left field, was hitting .246 with 27 starts and six appearanc-es off the bench. Dirks, an infielder, had made eight starts and appeared in 26 games through May 7. She was hitting .231 with 11 runs, one homer and four stolen bases. Devereaux has become a human interest story that goes way beyond the dia-mond. It grabs you by the heartstrings. She helped set the foundation for this sea-son for the ages. She has the ability to make any day feel sunny. We’ll let Chastain take it from here. “Anna Devereaux has been with this program lon-ger than I have,” the coach said. “Anna has persevered more than anyone I have ever been around to con-tinue to be able to play and to have a career. She’s had multiple shoulder surgeries on both arms. She actually softly retired at the end of our 2022 season. Then in the summer she came back to me and said: ‘Hey, I want to play through my eligibility.’ She’s an engi-neer major and has had to not only persevere through every surgery that she’s had, but school has been really hard for her. I mean, up until this year, she’s always had to miss days of practice, but still persevered and been a player that has been really consistent in the lineup. So she decided to return for her last year of eligibility and had a stellar fall. She was one of our leading offensive players in the fall season. The staff and I, we were so pumped about where she was at. She looked awesome at the plate. In a game against Elon, she broke her leg in a collision at first base. We decided to lead her off because she had been doing so well offen-sively for a couple weeks. We could have really seen Devereaux leading off for us (in 2023). In the first play of the game at Elon, she broke her leg. It was so tragic and heartbreaking for all of us. She’s got steel plates and screws and everything you could think of in her leg now. The doctor told her March 1 (the season opener was Feb. 9) is probably going to be your full return to play. You’re going to have limitations until early March, then we expect you to be fully healed and ready to go. In rehab, she had to start walking again. She was non-weight bearing for a re- ally long time. In preseason, she started to put weight on her leg. Honestly, she had to learn how to walk again. Her gait and her stride and putting weight on her leg was all really uncomfortable for her, even though her leg was healed. So the past eight weeks have been so grueling for her. She’s a core founda-tion player. She’s one of our three captains and she leads us in so many ways. Morale is high when Anna is on the field.”You want to talk about someone who is as tough as they come. Devereaux re-habbed and worked her way back onto the field on Feb. 18. The second appearance of her super senior season was Feb. 25. Then came a bookmark moment in her long journey back - it was Feb. 26 against visiting Georgia Tech. Charlotte would win that game 7-3. This is the stuff goosebumps are made of. “We pinch hit her against Georgia Tech,” Chastain said. “She wasn’t allowed to slide and run full speed - she was probably 70 percent, with no sliding at the time. So we told her: ‘We’re going to give you some at-bats, we just need you to get to first base and then we’re going to sub a runner for you.’ Well, here we go against Georgia Tech and she hits a scream-er down the line that gets (fielded) in the corner by Georgia Tech’s left fielder. Jody Davidson, our first base coach, is holding her up on first base because the plan was (to stop at first). Anna rounds first and takes off for second and didn’t even have to slide at 2nd - it was a stand-up double. That moment for our team was so special. It was elec-tric to see her be able to do that for the first time in months after she’s learned how to walk again. It gives me chill bumps and almost brings tears to my eyes that she has again persevered to where she can help us win this year after breaking her leg. That double-down-the-line story is one I’ll never forget, and it’s going to be kind of a milestone in this team’s story.”Charlotte’s giddy journey ended in the championship game of the Durham Re-gional against Duke on May 21. It finished 35-23. Rosenbaum/Bailey won the first set but ran completely out of gas down the stretch and lost 6-4, 4-6, 2-6 to a team from Cuthbertson. “Playing in a grudge match like (the one in the semifinals) caught up to us,” Nixon said. “The Cuth-bertson team was on the court for about 45 minutes, getting drilled by Northwest Guilford. My guys were out there for more than two hours playing Tabor. My guys just didn’t have anything left in the tank. Burke was cramping in about four different places. Bryce looked so tired you could feel it. Shoutout to the Cuthbertson team. Their sportsmanship was amaz-ing. Burke fell down with cramps so bad he couldn’t stand, and one of the Cuth-bertson kids dropped his racket and ran over to check on Burke. Burke and Bryce played their guts out. These guys poured themselves out for two days and represented Davie County in such an amazing way.”•••In the state tournament, Rosenbaum/Bailey more than held their own in the first round, but they ulti-mately succumbed to fero-cious opponents from Cardi-nal Gibbons (6-4, 4-6, 2-6). The state was held at Millbrook Exchange Tennis Center in Raleigh on May 12-13. “That is a really good Cardinal Gibbons team,” Nixon said. “Our guys jumped on them early, but then the Gibbons kids start-ed to really serve it well midway through the second set. I was so proud of the The Davie JV soccer season concluded with a 6-0 home loss to North David-son on May 9. Liliana Romero, who had spent several weeks on var-sity, and Ellen Little, who had been out for two weeks with an injury, were back on the field together. Both were way my guys didn’t quit, even when the momentum turned.”Nixon said both guys were an absolute delight to coach. They finished with a 20-5 record. Rosenbaum’s final num-bers are staggering. Across four seasons, he went 46-5 in singles and 55-8 in dou-bles. With a combined re-cord of 101-13, he ranks second all-time in total wins, only trailing Elijah Gregory (110-35). “Burke is quite simply one of the best in Davie County history,” Nixon said. “He’s a two-time CPC Play-er of the Year and three-time all-CPC. He’s a CPC singles champ and two-time CPC doubles champ. He only lost three times in conference. He’s a three-time regional qualifier and two-time state qualifier. It is easy to forget that with all the great num-bers, they’d be significantly better if not for the COVID year. He’s a great kid, a won-derful competitor and a fan-tastic teammate. Being truly great at something makes being a teammate harder sometimes, but Burke made guys better. He was a joy to coach and I feel privileged to have gotten to do so.

Wildlife Re-sources Commission’s up-to-date harvest figures showed an increase of more than 3,500 birds over the 2022 season, which was the third-highest harvest on record.Leading the way were Davie American Little League Player Spotlight the big counties in the southeastern North Caroli-na farm belt: Duplin, Pend-er, Bladen and Sampson — counties that were among the last that the commission stocked back in the 1980s and 1990s and the last to have open spring seasons.Hunters killed 829 birds in Duplin County, slight-ly more than one bird per square mile. Pender Coun-ty was second with 689, followed by Bladen at 652 and Sampson at 585. Brunswick County rounded out the top five with 571. It took a harvest of 341 birds (Beaufort County) to even crack the top 20.Many of North Caro-lina’s traditional turkey hot spots — much smaller counties that had good pop-ulations of birds before the turn of the century — were nowhere near the top. Rockingham County was 10th with 427, Cas-well was 15th with 386, and Stokes, Alleghany, Ashe, Granville and Person counties way down the list with 310, 161, 235, 274 and 277 birds. For years, those counties dominated the an-nual harvest rankings.One note: the harvest per square mile in a lot of counties with good turkey habitat was in line with the numbers from the huge, farm-belt counties in east-ern North Carolina; they just aren’t big enough, ar-ea-wise, to boast an enor-mous harvest. For exam-ple, Franklin County, north of Raleigh, was eighth in overall harvest with 515 birds on 492 square miles, a harvest slightly better than Duplin County in terms of the number of birds killed per square mile.Other counties of note: Rowan County hunters took 278 birds (up from 266 in 2022); Stanley County hunters tagged 255 birds (up from 199 in 2022), Da-vie County hunters report-ing taking 109 birds (down from 123 in 2022), and 114 Forsyth County turkeys bit the dust, identical to the 2022 harvest.Hunters reported taking 2,652 jakes (juvenile male turkeys), which works out to about 11% of the total harvest, which is in line with previous seasons.

To get 16 wins and get to where we haven’t been in 11 years, I’ll take that as a successful season.”The real-deal James, who recorded the No. 1 freshman average for all-time as a freshman (.409), put up the No. 9 average in Davie his-tory as a sophomore (.451). It’s the No. 1 sophomore average, surpassing Whit Merrifield’s .441 in 2005, and it’s the highest aver-age in 10 seasons (Corey Randall hit .506 in 2012). He became the fourth War Eagle to hit .400 twice, joining Andrew Daywalt, Silences ... and fanning eight as Reagan atoned for two regular-sea-son losses to Davie (1-0 on March 21 and 2-1 on March 24). “(Strahm) was able to keep us offbalance,” Ander-son said. “He got big outs and they played defense behind him.”The Raiders only man-aged four hits over 5.1 in- nings against Rodgers, and they barely outhit Davie for the night (6-5) - but they were efficient while Davie’s offense fizzled when it had runners on. It was the continuation of an impressive run by the high-flying Raiders, who won for the 16th time in 17 games. “I thought Braeden did a good job,” Anderson said after the junior finished with a 6-2 record and 2.41 ERA. “He might have made one mistake (to Doll). But even going into the sixth, he had only given up four hits. He kept us in the game. He gave us a chance.”The War Eagles have nothing to hang their heads about. In late February, did anyone think they’d go 6-4 against East Forsyth/Rea-gan/West Forsyth, march into the final 16 in the 4-A playoffs and finish with the most wins in four years? “These boys played hard and came together,” Ander- Merrifield and Randall. He posted the most hits (37) since Randall’s 42 in 2012. James and Whitaker had the most triples (five each) for anyone in this century. The East Carolina-bound Whitaker had a terrific se-nior season. He knocked in the most runs (25) since Randall’s 28 and Matt Ver-non’s 26 RBIs in 2012, and he finished at .363. Krause performed won-derfully for a sophomore, doing all the catching duties and hitting .356. Simmons got scorching hot after a rough start and hit .307. Marshall, a highly-regarded freshman, drew the most walks/hit by pitches (26) of anyone this century. Notes: Davie’s 5 seniors are Sink, Simmons, Jaydon Holder, Aderhold and D. Whitaker.

DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, May 25, 2023 ‑ B5 By Brian PittsEnterprise Record In the last two events of the season, Davie’s AJ Sweet left no doubt that he’s the finest freshman pole vaulter in the state. Sweet was the only fresh-man who qualified for the pole vault in the Midwest Regional at Davie on May 13. Then in the state meet, the only pole vaulters who topped Sweet were three seniors, two sophomores and a junior. In the regional, Sweet tied his own school record by clearing 13-6. The top four finishers in each event earned state berths, and Sweet’s effort was good for fourth. The top three spots went to two seniors and a junior. “AJ is our first pole vault-er to qualify for the state meet in about 25 years,” coach Rob Raisbeck said. “The last person to do it, as far as we can determine, was the son of our pole vault coach, Ted Kiser (Truman Kiser). Coach Kiser has waited 25 years to have an-other athlete go to states in the pole vault. That’s pretty cool.”Rebuilding Davie had 17 regional qualifiers. Its participants were two se-niors, two juniors and 13 freshmen/sophomores. “We’ve got a lot of young talent that had a good expe-rience being able to compete at that level,” Raisbeck said. “As you might expect when you have a team that young, we took our lumps in terms of competing in the events.”Sophomore Tyler Hill, sophomore Aric Boles, By Brian PittsDavie Enterprise Record Davie golfer Anderson Beliveau improved by a whopping 30 spots - he tied for 39th in the 2022 Mid-west Regional and tied for ninth in the 2023 regional - and turned in Davie’s best showing in this event in five seasons. The regional was held at Eagle Chase Golf Club in Marshville on May 8. The gifted sophomore shot a 1-over 73 to tie for ninth out of 81 players and easily qualify for the state tournament. He took a big step from last year’s region-al at Oak Valley, when he shot 79 to tie for 39th and missed the state cut by three strokes. “The course kind of fit freshman Ethan Lakey and senior Owen Sulecki fin-ished eighth in the 3200 relay. Senior Gracie Wil-son was eighth in the dis-cus. Sophomore Cooper Williams was ninth in the discus. Also participating for Davie were Hill (800), Sulecki (1600), America Stockton (5-2 in the high jump), Andrea Keller (5-0 high jump) and junior So-phie Brady (discus). Stock-ton and Keller have quali-fied for the Adidas Nationals and New Balance Freshman Nationals in the high jump. Lakey has qualified for the Adidas Nationals in the freshman mile. ••• How sweet is that?

To VIEW Photos & ORDER PRINTS visit: mlewisphotography.smugmug.com my game,” Beliveau said. “I’m a pretty good wedge player. My irons aren’t the best, but luckily I had wedg-es at every hole. My drives were good. It’s kind of a tight course, but if you’re driving it good, it helps a lot. I gave myself a lot of 100-yard shots and was able to hit it in there pretty close a lot.”Beliveau turned in eight pars, five birdies, four bo-geys and one double bogey. He was just one stroke from a share of fifth. After his double bogey on No. 14, he gathered himself and closed with four straight pars. “It was kind of an un- lucky hole,” he said of the double bogey. “I was 1-un-der going into that hole. On this hole, you have to aim to the left side because it funnels down to the right. I hit it pretty good; it looked like it was going to be right in the middle of the fairway. But it kicked right into some rocks. I had a rock behind the ball and in front of the ball. I tried to get relief from it because I didn’t know if it was an unplayable condi-tion, but they made me play it. It was just an unlucky break.”The tie for ninth was Davie’s best effort since Wesley Sink took third in 2017. “I’m not the longest (with the driver),” he said. “I’m probably averaging 260 carry off the tee. It wasn’t a real long course. It was for straight hitters, so it fit me well.”The cutoff for a state berth was 75. Davie senior Colby Moore barely missed as he tied for 20th at 76. Da-vie’s other three participants were junior Cooper Drum (82), senior Walker Jones (88) and junior Sean Coates (88). The medalist shot 66. •••Beliveau competed in the 4-A state meet at Pinehurst No. 8 on May 15-16. He One week later at North Carolina A&T Universi-ty in Greensboro, Sweet illustrated his freshman dominance again, going 13-0 to take seventh out of 16 in the state. The winning mark in the pole vault was 14-6. By cracking the top eight, Sweet earned all-state honors. This is only the begin-ning for Sweet, who has qualified for the Adidas Nationals and New Balance Freshman Nationals in June. “He’s just going to keep getting better,” Raisbeck said. Beliveau shoots 73 in golf regionals shot 15-over (82-77–159) to tie for 51st out of 84. The 4-A individual cham-pion was Apex Friendship’s Daniel McBrien, who card-ed a 4-under 66 and won the second playoff hole against Colin Salema of Providence. The team champion was Pinecrest, which finished 21-over. Beliveau was Davie’s first state qualifier since Sink in 2017. • www.ourdavie.com • Tyler Hill runs in the 800.

Gilliland introduced Lu-cas’s mother, Destiny, who thanked everyone for sup-porting the tournament and helping build a playset for Lucas and his family this past November. An emotional Gilliland reminded everyone why they were there. “Today is about more than cornhole. It’s about making the world a better place and making a differ-ence. While our memories were short with Lucas, we are grateful to have met this inspiring, beautiful, coura-geous, and extraordinary child.” It was a beautiful day at RayLen Vineyards & Win-ery, which partners with the Gilliland Foundation to host a double-elimina-tion spring and fall tourna-ments. The tournament was won by the father-son team of Roy Huss and Troy Huss, with Tim Potts and Damon Landreth finishing second and Junior Candido and Erubiel Castro finish-ing third. Tin Can Alley provided the music, food trucks were on site, of course there was the award-winning RayLen wine, and a silent auction that featured Carolina Pan-thers at Tampa Bay Buc-caneers club seat tickets in Tampa Bay, Fla. “The passing of Lucas makes us more determined than ever to bring hope to children and their families fighting pediatric cancer. We will continue to build playsets to see the joy on the children’s faces when they see their playsets for the first time,” Gilliland said. The next playset build is scheduled for Saturday, July 22 for a child being treated for cancer at Bren-ner Children’s Hospital. The fall cornhole tour-nament will be Saturday, Oct. 7.

As a result of a default in the obliga- tions contained within the Promis- sory Note and Deed of Tr ust and the failure to carry out and perform the stipulations and agreements contained therein, the holder of the indebtedness secured by said Deed of Tr ust made demand to have the default cured, which was not met. Therefore, the un- dersigned Substitute Tr ustee will place for sale that parcel of land, including improvements thereon, situated, lying and being in the City of Cooleemee, County of Da- vie, State of North Carolina, and being more particularly described in the heretofore referenced Deed of Tr ust.
