Sylva got a railroad in 1913 and with it gained the county seat designation for Jackson County. The courthouse, built in 1914, is one of the most spectacular I’ve seen because it sits on top of the highest hill at the end of Main Street.Thomas Edison and Franklin Dela-no Roosevelt visited Sylva, and three movies were partially filmed here, "De-liverance," "The Fugitive" and "Three Billboards Outside." Downtown Sylva is flat with a familiar smell in the air on the evening I explored the town. Paper mills are common in the area, and that smell is certainly distinct.I spent the night at the Blue Ridge Inn, a super nice place near the end of Main Street and the courthouse, and right across from the Characters such as Paul Williams make a visit to Murphy more enjoyable. Dr. Delos Dexter Hooper house. The Hooper house was built in 1906 and is the local visitor center. Sylva is wonderful with plenty of interesting shops, restaurants and bookstores, all in the middle of its so-cial district. A different section of town has many of the recognizable national stores.•Up early on May 18, I made the short drive to Bryson City, county seat for Swain County and part of the original Cherokee land. The town is known for the Great Smoky Moun-tain Railroad, and it certainly dominates the town. The GSMR operates on former Southern Railway rails between Dillsboro and Bryson City while serving over 200,000 riders a year.

Adhere to library ethics code PainBy Julie Terry CartnerShe didn’t know when, or even how, it started. All she knew was sometimes the pain was more than she could bear. Deep breaths, intended to calm, to soothe the beast within, instead, jabbed her like dark daggers, seeking to disembowel her deepest fears, her inexplicable despair. Other times, the pain was more of an ache, the dullest hint of pain gradually blooming across her body like poison ivy, insidiously creeping from limb to limb until the mis-ery overtook her entire being, and her head ached so badly, her neck could no longer support it.And yet, she could remember better times, although the happy memories grew harder and harder to capture, dis-solving like mist through her fingers, as time marched by. But she could remember the beauty, the innocence, of hot summer days, playing on her swing set, running through the sprinklers, laughing with her friends, and lying on her back on dark summer nights counting the stars and feeling at peace with the world. Where had that joy gone? What had happened?She’d tried self-medication, using alcohol to dull the pain. It helped at first, until it didn’t, and then she’d had to increase her intake until her alcohol abuse was as harmful as the depression. Like many before, she’d started with beer, easily accessed from the corner market, the store clerk careless with checking IDs, more interested in mak-ing a sale than risking confrontations.When beer, or wine, no longer worked, she’d moved on to the hard stuff, the procurement more expensive. With shame, she remembered the $20s she’d lifted from her mom’s pocketbook, randomly enough that her mom would think she’d just forgotten she’d spent more than she had. Her shame grew when she realized those purloined bills had been earmarked for food and other necessities for the family.A vicious cycle, shame and guilt added to her pain, making alcohol anesthesia even more necessary to allevi-ate her pain.Even more challenging, she was underage, and, with ID checks being far more stringent at ABC stores, she’d ed singers on Sunday afternoons to come for sing-alongs using Christian Harmony songbooks. This was one type of shape note music that many people learned in Singing Schools at churches. It was unaccompanied. Words of the songs described realistic scenes and descriptive phras-es such as “The cedars of Lebanon bow at His feet” and “There is a Happy Land.” Another use for the old courthouse was because there was a fire in the top of the new courthouse on 28 February 1916. Offices had to be moved back into the old building temporarily until repairs were completed.In 1922, there were differing opinions about the first courthouse. Some men and women wanted to keep it, but those wanting a paved road to go straight through the cen-ter of town had opposing views. At three in the morning in 1922, workmen started dismantling it quickly so that it would be too destroyed to be salvaged. It was razed, but the curved roads around the old courthouse remain, a reminder of the first courthouse. Ebbs and Flows, Ends and BeginningsBy Denise BellThe end of a school year has always been one of my favorite times of year. As a child growing up, it was the be-ginning of long summer days spent running in the neigh-borhood, Kool aid stands, picnics in the park and sleep outs in tents made from blankets pinned to a clothesline in the back yard. As the close of each school year passed each year, so did some of the monumental events of growing up. Finding independence, getting a job, learning to drive, and graduating high school.As I grow older, I seem to find myself reflecting on how meaningful this time of year can be in one’s life. Partic-ularly this year as my grandson is graduating from high school. He is not my first grandchild to experience this rite of passage. It was a great joy for me to see my first granddaughter walk across the stage in 2018. My second granddaughter had the misfortune of being in the graduat-ing class of 2020; however, her walk across the parking lot was even more wonderful because of the challenges this class had to face. Now my grandson, my number one (and only) grandson is crossing this final milestone of youth into adulthood. As it does for all, his graduation from elementary school to middle school marked an end to his adolescence and the beginning of his teenage years. This ending to his high school years is another beginning for him. A begin-ning that comes with it a great promise of the future, all things possible, things to be experienced and achieved. To the editor:At the May county commissioner’s meeting, the library board of trustees spoke because their nominee was reject-ed and replaced without respecful communication with them or the library director. This situation is of interest to me.Viewing the trustee’s minutes re-veals incidents of persons entering our library who engage in disruptive be-havior and intimidate staff about ma-terials of which they disapprove. By March. the trustees learned of low staff morale due to that harassment. Mate-rials owned for all the citizens of Davie County have been misplaced and abused by an organized yet anonymous group targeting certain materials available in the library. Unacceptable.As a resident invested in the library, I expect library users to be civil regarding the ownership and rights of oth-er library users. I expect the staff to feel safe and treated courteously. I also expect persons appointed to serve as trustees to be knowledgeable about libraries, their mission and purpose, as well as local, state, and national library policies and standards. I expect county commissioners to be concerned about these issues, while relying on their ad-visors for accurate information and specific training and expertise. I do not expect our library to be subjected to political partisanship.Consulting the county’s website on commissioner advisory boards and committees show 16 bodies in ser-vice. The data show 27 vacancies with at least 13 expired terms overdue for appointments. For an irrational and un-explained reason, the library gained attention over these other vacancies.From your documented Code of Ethics: “Board mem-bers must always remain aware that at various times they play different roles: as advocates, who strive to advance the legitimate needs of their citizens; as legislators, who balance the public interest and the private rights in con-sidering and enacting ordinances, orders, and resolutions; and as decision-makers, who arrive at fair and impartial quasi-judicial and ad-ministrative determination."Librarians use the ALA Professional Code of Ethics. Especially applicable now are:1. We provide the highest level of service to all library users through appropriate andmusefully organized re-sources; equitable service policies; equitable access and accurate,nunbiased, and courteous responses to all re-quests.2. We uphold the principles of intellectual freedom and resist all efforts to censor library resources.6. We do not advance private interests at the expense of library users, colleagues, or our employing institutions.7. We distinguish between our personal convictions and professional duties and do not allow our personal beliefs to interfere with fair representation of the aims of our in-stitutions or the provision of access to their information resources.9. We affirm the inherent dignity and rights of every person. We work to recognize and dismantle systemic and individual biases; to confront inequity and oppression; to enhance diversity and inclusion; and to advance racial and social justice in our libraries, communities, profession, and associations through awareness, advocacy, education, collaboration, services and allocation or resources and spaces.May we all do our best to adhere to our Codes of Ethics.Julie WhittakerMocksville Come and listen to a story of a man named KenPoor town manager barely kept his big pride inThen one day he was flipping through his mailAnd out popped an idea, for this we can’t fail.

She reached the point that she’d do anything to get her fix, be it alcohol or drugs; it really didn’t matter to her.Interventions, shouting matches, anger spewing, blame cast; she’d cut so many ties, burned so many bridges.Labels, all accurate, but yet, not the whole picture. High school dropout, homeless, alcoholic, druggie; she didn’t think she could descend any lower. She learned that she could.Sometimes she glimpsed the girl inside, the bright-eyed child who’d loved playing school, teaching the in-tricacies of ABC’s to button-eyed teddy bears, and curly haired dolls. She’d been that kid who had actually enjoyed playing with her friends’ little brothers and sisters. She’d loved children; their inquisitiveness enchanting her. She had known she’d be a teacher one day.So, looking at the drug-laced candies she’d been as-signed to hand out to guileless children laughing on the playground, she’d loathed herself with a hatred stronger than her need. Who was she?Deep inside herself, she knew she’d hit rock bottom. She’d rather die than lead innocent children down her per-sonal pathway of hell. She was done.Breaking the beer bottle she gripped in her hand, she pressed the jagged edge to her wrist. As blood welled up through the gash, she sobbed, “I don’t want this.” As the blood gurgled through her fingers trying to staunch the flow, the smallest kernel of strength flitted through her brain. Fumbling for her phone, she pushed the numbers, even as blackness threatened.“9-11. What’s your emergency?” a disembodied voice asked.“I need help,” she managed to say right before darkness overtook her.May is mental health awareness month.“Nearly one-third of people with major depression also have an alcohol problem. Often the depression comes first….[however] Drinking will only make depression worse. People who are depressed and drink too much have more frequent and severe episodes of depression and are more likely to think about suicide.” [Watson, Stephanie.

Webmd.com] Mocksville CourthousesBy Marie Craig Squint real hard the next time you are in Mocksville on the square, use your imagination, and you might catch a glimpse of the old courthouse that sat right in the middle of the square. It was a two-story building that measured forty-five feet by forty feet. It was built about 1837, right after Davie County was formed from the northern part of the too-large Rowan County. The jail was also built that year. Together, they cost $11,312. The main entrance of this first courthouse faced north. There’s a legend about a renegade man who rode his horse through the courthouse, and upon being fined, he said to charge him double be-cause it was so much fun that he was going to do it again. After the next courthouse was built in 1909, the first one served several purposes. In 1912, there was a library in two rooms on the first floor. Three years later, ladies turned it into a community building. They painted and remodeled to have public restrooms for women and children coming into town to shop. Then they built a stage upstairs so that programs and concerts could take place for the public. Silent movies were shown with live pia-no background music.

By Betty Etchison WestFor the Enterprise Lillian Gordy Carter, the mother of the 39th Presi-dent of the United States, James Earl Carter Jr., who was called Jimmy, marched to a different drum beat from that of most others. Lillian Gordy was born into large family of Scot-tish decent in Southwest-ern Georgia. There were 13 people in the Gordy house-hold, parents, grandparents, siblings, and two orphaned cousins, which showed Lil-lian early on that all people of all ages should be treated with care. Lillian’s father, James Jackson Gordy, called Jim Jack, was the postmaster in Richland, Ga., about 20 miles from Plains. Jim Jack went out of his way to treat everyone, black and white, equally. The book, “First Moth-ers” by Bonnie Angelo, says: “Jim Jack treated blacks with kindness and a remarkable degree of equality, sometimes fetch-ing meals from the hotel which blacks were not al-lowed to enter, and bring-ing them back to the post office, where he and local black leaders then ate lunch together in the back room.” Knowing something of world in which Lillian grew up allows one to better un-derstand why the Jimmy Carter’s mother, who said “I’m the most liberal wom-an in the county, maybe the whole state,” marched to a different drum beat.Lillian decided ear-ly that she wanted to be a nurse. Her father disap-proved of her choice. It did not deter Lillian. Lillian went to Plains, Ga., and, in the hospital there, got her training. Lillian probably should have been a doctor, but women were barred from medical schools.Before she finished training, Lillian met James Earl Carter in Plains. Lil-lian did not like his looks, but his courtly manner and easy laugh won the heart of the young nursing student. After courting for two years, they got engaged, but “Mr. Earl,” as he was called, insisted that Lillian finish her nurses’ train-ing. With her training fin-ished, 25-year-old Lillian and 30-year-old Earl were married in the Baptist’s preacher’s study. That was the beginning of a happy marriage of two people with different personalities, both of whom never mind-ed hard work if it was light-ened by laughter. Lillian and Earl loved baseball and they loved to dance. Even though both Liworked hard, they found time to en-joy their favorite pastimes. They scheduled vacation so they could attend a major league baseball game.From the time she was married, and even after she became the mother of four children, Jimmy, Gloria, Ruth, and Billy, Lillian worked outside of her home. It was a bit un-usual for a woman to work outside of her home at that time, but Lillian Carter was never usual. She was not the homemaker type, and she was lucky to have a cook and a nannie to care for her children so she did what she loved to do. Sometimes, she worked as a nurse at the hospital, and, at other times, as a pri-vate duty nurse. Probably the most important work that she did as a nurse was to care for her black neigh-bors who had no one else from whom to seek help when they had a medical problem. Lillian went the homes of those black neigh-bors any time, day or night, when her help was needed. If the medical problem was so great that she could not handle it, she figured out a way to get the help of a doctor for the patient. Her willingness to help anyone in need without color being a consideration set Lillian Carter apart from many of her neighbors. In the Carter’s commu-nity called Archery, about three miles from Plains, black people outnumbered the whites, but that was never a problem for “Miss” Lillian or her children. Jimmy’s best friend was a black boy named, A.D. Da-vis. Jimmy and A.D. spent many happy hours together roaming the Carter farm, hunting and fishing. When “Miss” Lillian left to go to work, she would leave a note on the table for Jimmy and Gloria. Those two fi-nally teased their mother by saying that she was away so much that they thought the big table in the front room was their mother.The Carter children grew up and developed dif-ferent personalities. Billy, the youngest, described the family into which Roselynn Smith came when she married Jimmy Carter just after he graduated from the Naval Academy at Annapolis. The following is Billy’s description of his family as recorded in Bonnie An-gelo’s book: “Ruth was an evangelist and a faith heal-er, and Gloria was a mo-torcycle nut who rode on the wild side with her hus-band, a farmer with shoul-der-length gray hair and grizzled beard.” Then An-gelo described Billy: “Billy was a renowned beer-swig-ging, easy-cussin, joke-tell-ing, outrageous proprietor of the best-known filling station in Plains, or maybe anywhere. Billy Carter was the quintessential southern good ol’ boy.” Then there was Jimmy Carter, the oldest Carter child, who was-a- high achieving graduate of the Naval Academy and an of-ficer on the U.S. Navy first atomic powered submarine. The mother who marched to her own drum beat certainly raised chil-dren who also marched to different drum beats. “Miss” Lillian loved each of her children, and she did not seem to be bothered by their differences. ßhe did once say, no doubt just to get attention: “When I look at all my children, I say to myself, Lillian, you should have stayed a virgin.” That was just another of Lillian’s quips found in Bonnie An-gelo’s book. Tragedy hit the family in 1953 when Lillian and Earl Carter had been married 30 years. Mr. Earl had pancre-atic cancer and died when he was 58. The Carters had a happy marriage in which they enjoyed doing things together, even danc-ing in the living room to the music of their battery-pow-ered radio. Then, Earl was gone, and, even though Jimmy gave up his career in the Navy to come home and run the Carter Peanut Ware-house, Lillian felt alone and at loose ends. She said, “I wasn’t depressed, I was angry with everybody who had a husband.” That was not like the sassy “Miss” Lillian who could always make people laugh.Lillian realized that she would have to pick herself up; no one could do that for her. She became a house-mother at the Kappa Alpha fraternity house at Auburn University in Alabama. She moved to Alabama and spend the next eight years acting as a surrogate moth-er for 105 rambunctious boys. She loved that job and it took her out of the ”poor little me” time.While listening to the late show after she had returned home from Ala-bama, “Miss” Lillian saw an ad asking people to join the Peace Corp. The ad said that age did not mat-ter. “Miss” Lillian soon found herself in an area of India surrounded by abject poverty. Being surrounded with so much poverty and not being able to do any-thing about it was depress-ing. She was assigned to a program she did not feel was helping, which caused her more anguish. She was later assigned to help a doc-tor, which was better. She said that she was fine as long as she was working with the Indian people, but, at night, she was home-sick. “Miss” Lillian was determined to fulfill her two-year commitment even though many volunteers did not do that. She stayed two years but was delighted to get back to Plains. “Miss” Lillian helped her son, Jimmy, in each of his political campaigns. She was a favorite of re-porters because she always had a quip that would catch people’s attention. Some-times she would say outra-geous things, which made good copy. The following is an example of one of her comments, “Jimmy says he’ll never tell a lie. Will, I lie all the time. I have to—to balance the family ticket.” During the campaign, Jimmy’ mother would spend every day meeting visitors at the old train sta-tion in Plains that had been converted into the Car-ter Campaign Headquar-ters. All the campaigning worked. Some of the mothers of presidents loved being or living in the White House. Not so with “Miss” Lillian. She said, “Living in the White House is boring—I never did like it.” This from the woman who al-ways marched to a different drum beat.Lillian Carter died on Oct. 30, 1983 at age 85. In his book, “Always a Reckoning,” Jimmy Carter wrote: “To my mother, Lil-lian, who never would let racial segregation, loss of loved ones, ravages of age, or any other principalities or powers stop her sharing what she had with the least of those she knew ... I don’t think anyone ever met my mother and then forgot her.” The Carter homeplace in Plains, Ga.

Feel Good StoriesBy Gaye HootsMy story is about 6-year-old twins I know and love. A year ago, they were on a church playground enjoying their rambunctious play when a mother and 5-year-old son approached. The mother explained that they were from out of state visiting their in-laws, and she wanted her son to get some outdoor playtime. He was an only child and tended to be shy; she was trying to encourage him to play with others because he would be starting kindergarten, and she wanted the transition to be smooth. Unexpectedly he dropped her hand and joined the twins in an hour of happy playtime.Fast forward a year, and as the twin’s mom picked them up from an outdoor camp that they loved, a woman asked if their mom remembered her. She was the mom of the boy from the playground. She explained that they had recently moved to the area and shared that her son had developed encephalitis. This serious medical condition prevented him from starting school shortly after their visit last year. It had required frequent treatments, and she had home-schooled him. This year at home and the medical problems had in-creased his dependence on her and his shyness around other kids. Then they moved to where he knew no one except family, primarily adults. She wanted him to meet other kids and willingly play with them, so she inquired and was given the name of the nature camp. When they came for a tour and exited the car, he dropped her hand, ran to a girl, hugged her, and held her face while talking. This completely surprised his mom, but when she saw the second red-haired girl approach him, she recognized the twins from last year. He was thrilled to be able to attend the camp with his friends from last year.Another story was related to me by a friend. While he was shopping, a teenage employee insisted on taking his groceries to the car as he left the store. He prepared to give a tip and was impressed that the boy was working hard to earn it. The boy spotted a Shriner’s emblem on the vehicle and asked if he was a Shriner. The Shiners were on an adjoining highway collecting money in sight of the park-ing lot. The boy refused a tip and insisted on giving five dollars for him to take to the collection site.He said his younger brother required heart surgery that his family could not afford and that the Shriners paid for it, saving his brother’s life. Once employed, he contributed every time he passed a collection point. “They gave my brother back to us,” he stated.There are many stories of kindness and ministry around us; I wish those were what we heard on the news and read in the headlines each day instead of the distressing items called news that we see there. It would change the world for all of us. 4 - DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, June 8, 2023 Freeze ... Continued From Page 148 hours before Norfolk Southern would have begun dismantling it.

Fort Montgomery, built to help with the removal of the Cherokee, was granted a post office in 1849, and the name was changed to Robbinsville in 1874. Most claim Robbinsville was named after Sen. James L. Robinson of Macon County, but some believed the name may have been derived from Mr. Robbins of Clay County, who taught at the first school.Parts of The Fugitive were filmed here, as was "Nell," starring Jodie Foster, and "A Walk in the Woods." The current courthouse was finished in 1842 and sits at 12 Main St. Robbinsville’s most fa- The Jackson County Courthouse in Sylva, and the Graham County Courthouse in Robbinsville.

Paintings are displayed outdoors in Murphy. mous resident was country singer and pianist Ronnie Milsap, honored by a mural near the courthouse. •Murphy was next, the farthest western town in North Carolina, clos-est to the Tennessee line. It is at the confluence of the Hiwassee and Valley Rivers and had been called Huntington and Murphey before settling on Mur-phy. The county seat of Cherokee county, Murphy is situated on Cherokee homelands. The town was not incorporated until 1851, after Cherokee county was formed from Macon County in 1839.In 1836, the U.S. Army built Fort Butler in town to help with the removal of the Cherokee, which be-came widely known as the Trail of Tears. The Chero-kee County courthouse was built in 1927 and is faced with locally sourced blue marble. Abraham Enloe, purported by historians to be Abraham Lincoln’s father, is buried in town.I took the time to remi-nisce a little about my run across N.C., with Murphy as the first night on the road. I visited the Sunset Motel and saw other famil-iar sites, including Walmart where I got a radio to help pass the time on the road. Murphy has beautiful mountain themed portraits posted outdoors around town. My best encounter in town was with Phil Wil-liams, who claimed he was just a worker at the Red Brick Deli. Born up north, Phil was living in Florida and decided to leave the heat and humidity and be-come a halfback (someone who only moves halfway back to the north). Phil told me, “Murphy’s a wonderful town. I’m so glad we live here. We have a festival ev-ery Thursday afternoon at 5 p.m.” I bought a fantastic huge homemade brownie. Phil said one day that he and his wife were going to drive the state all the way to the coast, to which I said, “Just get on US 64 and follow it all the way to the Outer Banks. I did it on foot.”I really enjoyed Murphy, another thriving and fun little town, surrounded by history and beautiful moun-tain vistas. All the western N.C. towns so far are historic and fun. We have now totaled 46 counties visited and this segment included running, walking and photos for 6.31 miles. Back soon with the push to halfway.Editor’s note: David Freeze is a runner, coach and long-distance cyclist from China Grove.

Jessica Carson and family. She received a Cros- by Scholar award in 2003. 2003 scholar fulfilling passion also completed her student teaching. Her first year she taught third grade and then later moved to kindergarten (her true passion and where she ultimately wanted to be). She continued teaching kin-dergarten for seven years. Two years into teaching, she had her second child and then four years later she and her husband welcomed twins. Jessica then decided to take time to be with her family for several years. Now that her children are in school, she is employed at her husband’s account-ing firm, Anderson, Smith, and Wike. She is able to use her elementary education background as she is audit-ing several school systems across North Carolina. “Hard work and dedica-tion will get you to where you want to be,” she said. Her advice to youth in Davie? “Don’t let anything stand in your way of com-pleting your degree. Focus on making good grades for four years and then you will be able to have that degree for the rest of your life.” When Davie sheriff’s deputies arrived at a resi-dence off Eaton’s Church Road Sunday morning, the breaking and entering that had been reported was still in progress.It was 8:03 a.m., DaSh-eriff J.D. Hartman reported, when deputies arrived and saw a blue 1995 Ford Crown Victoria with the doors and trunk open at a shed on the property. Sabrina Marie Link, 31, of Sonora Drive, Advance, was inside the shed. A deputies cleared the residence, they located Da-kota Ray Ferguson, 26, of County Line Road, Har-mony, hiding under debris inside the dining room. Both were arrested for felony breaking and enter-ing, felony larceny, and sec-ond-degree trespassing. Deputies also learned that the Ford Crown Victoria had been stolen from Yad-kin County along with other items from a house break-in at that location, Hartman reported. They were also charged with possession of a stolen vehicle. Link was placed in Davie County Detention Center in lieu of a $17,500 bond and Ferguson received a $20,000 bond. Hartman said the inves-tigation is continuing and anyone with information is asked to contact the sheriff’s office criminal investigation division at 336-751-6238 or sheriff@dcsonc.com, or leave a tip at https://davie-so-nc.zuercherportal.com/#/submit_tip.“We would like to thank the Yadkin County Sheriff’s Office for their assistance during this incident,” Hart-man said.

BERMUDA RUN - Atrium Health Wake For-est Baptist Davie Medical Center has announced its most recent Bee and Daisy award winners.Erin Howard, a certified nursing assistant (CNA), earned the Bee award, and Angie Jamie, registered nurse, earned the Daisy award. The Bee award rec-ognizes team members outside of nursing and coincides with the Dai-sy Award, which honors nurses. The Bee award was created because, just as in nature, bees are loyal and hardworking. The bee can-not exist without the daisy and the daisy cannot exist without the bee. When asked why she be-came a CNA, Howard said: “I became a CNA because it provided me with the op-portunity to have a positive impact on the lives of a va-riety of people. “When I was growing Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist Davie Medical Center Daisy Award winner Angie Jamie and Bee Award winner ERin Howard. Medical center employees earn awards up, I cared for my grand-mother while she was deal-ing with dementia and heart disease. The same medical care and attention that was given to her is the same type of care that I want to provide. I have learned so many things since becom-ing a CNA and plan to carry those lessons with me as I continue my career in med- icine,” she said.Howard’s manager, Will Parker, said: “Erin is a stellar employee who ex-emplifies the culture com-mitments of Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist. Her fellow teammates adore her along with the patients she cares for. “Erin is leaving to pur-sue her physician assistant degree and will be joining the program at our Boone campus. We could not be happier for her and we wish her the best of luck in her future endeavors.” •The Daisy Award is a nationwide program that rewards and celebrates the extraordinary clinical skill and compassionate care given by nurses every day. Davie Medical Center recognizes one of its nurs-es with this special honor twice a year. Each honoree receives a banner, certifi-cate, pin and a hand carved “A Healer’s Touch” stone sculpture. “I’ve always known that I would be a nurse,” Jamie said. “I was introduced to a wonderful nurse and physi-cian at a young age. I knew that I was safe but scared, but it was going to be all right. Each day I pray that my patients will know that I will do my best to care for them and keep them safe. “To do what I love, in the county that I live in, is a blessing that is not lost on me.”“I have had the pleasure of working with Angie for many years, she has always strived to keep the patient at the center of her care,” said Krista Holcomb, her manager. “Angie greets ev-eryone in a friendly manner and takes her time to ex-plain all of the processes to both patients and their families.” The next Daisy and Bee award winners at the medical center will be an-nounced in late fall.

SHOP LOCAL 12 - DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, June 8, 2023 Bless Your Spoon By Stephanie Williams Dean Read past recipes www.ourdavie.com Summer’s right around the corner and before you know it – we’ll be celebrating Christmas in July by baking holi-day fruitcakes. I’m not talking about typical seasonal cakes filled with chunky candied fruits. I’m referring to my favorite pound cakes – those made with ripe whole fruits. Loosely categorizing fruit into 5 groups: there are the pome fruits such as apples and pears, the citrus fruits such as oranges, pineapples, limes, lemons, and grapefruit. There are stone fruits (drupes) such as apricots, cherries, peaches, and plums with a single seed inside. Tropical fruits include bananas, mangoes, pineapple, and melons. And we can’t forget all the tasty seasonal berries. Gosh – we have abundant choices.How many new forms of fruit should recipe writers include? We already have canned varieties, fro-zen, candied, dried, in preserves and jams, and in baby foods. My best answer would be – one that includes whole, fresh fruit.That said, I still enjoy the ob-scure, delicious dessert recipes in vintage cookbooks, but find-ing one that calls for fresh fruit – sometimes, that’s a feat. Goodness gracious, the fruit folks at Dole Corp. must have made a fortune on their crushed, tidbit, and sliced varieties of canned pineapple. Compared to the taste of fresh fruits – they can’t hold the atten-tion of a taste bud. Don’t get me wrong. Canned fruits and other forms often are the ingredients used to bake our favorite cakes and other desserts. These confections will always be some of our most loved, traditional desserts. Many have been passed down from generations before us – and from that aspect – there’s no better recipe. If you think about it – back in the day, folks didn’t have access to the freshest fruits and vegetables unless they grew a garden. Today we have local farmers’ markets and large supermarkets filled with fruits we’ve never even heard of. We have a plethora of fresh products from which to choose. My favorite dessert is a fresh fruit pound cake served as a layered dessert. On the bottom is a crème anglaise sauce (custard) with a toasted slice of a plain or fruited pound cake arranged in the center, then more fresh fruit or a coulis (sauce) of fresh fruits added – and all is topped by a dollop of plain, fruited, or liqueur flavored cream, sour cream, or cream cheese – whipped. For a different presentation, this dessert also looks pretty layered in large, fancy glasses. Many of us show our love to other people by using our talents through food or other personal ministries. A result of the work of the Holy Spirit in a believer’s life is love – one of the fruits of the Spirit as mentioned by Paul in his letter to the Galatians. Having spiritual love for people means your love forms a connection with another, which helps you both find purpose and meaning in life. Mother Teresa spoke these well-known words by which we should live and love, “The fruit of faith is love, and the fruit of love is service…spread love everywhere you go.”We’d do well to master a simple truth – God’s love made each of us different. When I think of Jesus – I realize how different He was. He was never careful in giving what God had given Him. And we shouldn’t be careful, either – we should be different. Abiding in faith and living a life of service.And along the way – loving extravagantly.

He’s on the move again after he and Jose Cruz combined for a one-hitter in an 8-1 victory over Vancouver on May 31. After Whisenhunt worked five shutout innings with no walks and seven strikeouts, he was promoted to Double-A. The amazing thing about that: He has climbed to AA just 16 games into his professional base-ball career. He appeared in four games in 2022 after getting drafted in the second round. He started this year at Low-A San Jose. He was quickly called up to High-A Eugene. Here are his eye-popping numbers in six outings for the Eugene Emeralds: 25.1 innings, nine hits, four runs, eight walks, 36 strikeouts. The 22-year-old lefty is the No. 8 prospect for the Giants according to MLB Pipeline. In 10 starts in 2023, he has a 2.08 ERA, fanning 56 in 39 innings, partly because he has a filthy changeup. For the time being, Whisen-hunt’s home games will be about four hours from home. His debut with the Richmond Flying Squir-rels was June 7. “It’s a pretty good changeup,” San Francisco manager Gabe Kapler said. “It’s a pretty phys-ical, durable-looking body. It’s exciting to have a young player moving through the system like Whisenhunt is.” By Brian PittsEnterprise Record In Game 7 of the 2022 Eastern Conference finals, Caleb Martin never got off the bench in Mi-ami’s heartbreaking 100-96 loss By Brian PittsEnterprise Record Most of Whit Merrifield’s 2022 season paled in comparison to his two All-Star seasons with Kansas City. Last year he hit .240 in 95 games for the Royals and was traded to Toronto in August. As it turns out, the 2022 season was merely a hiccup. Merrifield is rejuvenated and back to playing at his standards at age 34. In 44 games for the Blue Jays last year, he hit .281. There was a 14-game stretch in which he hit a sparkling .417. Gee WhizPitcher on meteoric rise; now in Richmond Exclamation Point Martin scores 26 in Game 7, gets votes for series MVP to Boston. What a drastic difference a year can make. In Game 7 of the 2023 Eastern Conference finals - on May 29, exactly a year after his zero-play-ing-time game with the Heat sea- son on the line - Martin played 44 minutes, helped the Heat rout the Celtics on the road and provided the perfect exclamation point to his amazing series. Martin wasn’t just a differ-ence-maker in every game, he had one of those series that change lives.In Game 1, he had 15 points on 6-of-11 shooting. In Game 2, he had 25 points on 11-16 shooting. In Game 3, he had 18 points on 7-11 shooting. In Game 4, he had 16 points on 6-9 shooting. In Game 5, he had 14 points on 5-12 shooting. Martin came off the bench in the first five games, and his 17.6 average during that stretch marked Please See Caleb - Page B6 Merrifield hitting .293 for Jays He has carried that momentum into 2023. Instead of playing a part-time role like some speculated he would, he appeared in 52 of the first 59 games for the 32-27 Blue Jays and he’s in position to set ca-reer highs for on-base percentage and batting average. Through June 3, his OBP was .341; his career high in that catego-ry is .367. His current OBP would be his highest in four years. He was hitting .293 through June 3; his career high is .303. He leads the Jays in stolen bases with 15. Even though he’s getting “old” for a major league player, he’s still faster than Ronald Acuna, Brandon Nimmo and Anthony Volpe. “He’s doing what he’s done his whole career,” Toronto manager John Schneider said. “Before we (acquired him), last year was a little bit of a rough stretch, but I think what we’re seeing is just an all-star player hitting his stride.”“I’ve never lost confidence in myself,” Merrifield said as a guest on Tim & Friends. “There’s a lot to it other than just black and white numbers. I know everyone likes to look at numbers. Analytics is like what it’s never been before. Stick with what you’ve been doing. Stick with the same approach, the same mindset, the same prepara-tion. That’s all you can do in this game.”After going 0 for 3 in the March 30 season opener at St. Louis, Merrifield put together a five-game hitting streak and hit safely in 15 of 16 games. He has gone hitless in back-to-back games just twice all season. From May 26-June 2, he went 10 for 26.

B2 ‑ DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, June 8, 2023 By Brian PittsDavie Enterprise Record A look back at Davie sports 40 years ago ... After Washington Redskins coach Joe Gibbs won NFL Coach of the Year for the 1982 season, Gibbs was featured in the Enterprise. Why, you might ask? Gibbs was born in Mocks-ville on Nov. 24, 1940. Mr. and Mrs. J.C. Gibbs, who was stationed here as a State Highway Patrolman, lived in one of the apart-ments in the Horn-Harding building on the square from April 1940 until Novem-ber 1942. Joe was born in the Mocksville Hospital and delivered by Dr. W.M. Long. In November of 1942, the Gibbs family moved to Asheville after J.C. resigned from the State Highway Pa-trol and accepted a position with the American Enka Corporation. The Davie boys bas-ketball team captured the Catawba Christmas tourna-ment for the first time ever, winning three games in dramatic fashion. The War Eagles of Paul Drechsler outlasted North Rowan in overtime in the first round. They edged East Rowan when Randy Mayfield bur-ied a 22-footer at the buzzer. In the championship game, they survived a 64-60 over-time battle with Salisbury. Mayfield, the senior point guard, was named tourna-ment most valuable player. Russell Anderson, Rodney Barker and Chris Jacobs played key roles. North Davie’s wrestling team pulled out a hard-fought 36-30 win over Thomasville, and Dennis York was the hero. It was tied 30-30 going into the final weight class. At heavy-weight, York got a sec-ond-period pin to lift North to 7-2. Also recording pins against the Bulldogs were Steve Buchin, Jeff Burchette and Keith Maready. Jill Amos, a 5-8 junior basketball player at the Uni-versity of North Carolina at Wilmington, was named the athlete of the week by the Wilmington Journal. She scored 26 points to lead the Seahawks to a 76-74 win over North Carolina A&T. A few weeks later, she scored her 1,000th career point in the Foxy Lady tournament 40 years ago: Golf team runners-up in state in Florence, S.C., becoming the first UNC-W female to break the 1,000 barrier. On top of that, she was the No. 1 singles player for the UNC-W tennis team. During her career at Davie, she scored in double figures in 52 consecutive games and finished her prep career with 1,665 points, a school record that still stands. The South Davie and North Davie wrestling teams finished third and fourth, respectively, in the 11-team conference tournament at Lexington. The top four team scores: China Grove 148, Kannapolis 126, South 75, North 67. For South, Chris Shrewsbury finished first at 160 and went 17-0 for the season, while Ron Whitlock, Brent Snyder (14-3 season record) and Bruce Bullock (14-2) all finished second in their weight class. For North, Buchin captured his second straight confer-ence title, went 16-0 for the season and 29-3 for his career. Finishing third were Poppy Gregg at 112, Andy Reavis at 105, Steve Dunn at 132 and Burchette at 157. The Davie girls basket-ball team clinched coach Bill Peeler’s seventh reg-ular-season title by beat-ing Thomasville 66-52. It was a blockbuster matchup that saw Davie avenge a 64-52 loss from earlier in the season. Davie finished 14-2 in the North Piedmont Conference, while Thom- asville was 13-3. Davie pulled away even though Angie Browder (18 points) and Machelle Pulliam (12) fouled out. Donna Hendrix was third for Davie with 10 points. “We had something to prove,” Peeler said. The next week, the Lady War Eagles won the NPC Tournament at Catawba for the fourth time in five years by beating Thomasville again, 66-59. Pulliam took home tournament MVP af-ter amassing 19 points and nine rebounds and hitting 6 of 7 free throws in the fourth quarter. Naomi Min-walla had 17 points, while Browder and Hendrix had 11 each. Browder (13.4), Minwal-la (13.3) and Pulliam (12.5) ranked fifth, seventh and eighth, respectively, in the NPC in scoring. For the Da-vie boys, Anderson (14.4) and Barker (13) ranked sixth and eighth. Although Wadesboro finished fourth in the South Piedmont Conference, it hit a 20-footer in the final sec-onds of double overtime to upset the Davie girls 52-50 in the first round of the state playoffs at Central Cabar-rus. Davie (22-4) came in ranked seventh in the state in 3-A. The ending over-shadowed a massive game by the 5-10 Pulliam, who closed her Davie career with 28 points and 21 rebounds. “I may go home and build a fire and just try to forget this one for awhile,” Peeler said. “You have to give Wadesboro credit. It was their night. But it hurts just a little worse when you know you helped beat yourself.”Browder was named NPC Player of the Year. Pulliam and Minwalla made the all-conference team. Browder and Pulliam were selected to the All-North-west team. Anderson was the only all-conference pick from the Davie boys. Three Davie wrestlers made all-conference. Billy Lagle went 18-1 as a senior at 198. Sophomore Shawn Steele recorded a team-high 16 pins and finished in the top eight of the state at 101. And Darren Peebles went 17-4 as a junior at heavy-weight. After averaging 16.5 points and six rebounds as a 6-1 sophomore guard at Surry Community College, Shannon Pulliam transferred to North Carolina-Greens-boro with two years of eli-gibility remaining. At Rich Park, Dan Riddle pitched a three-hitter with 15 strikeouts to lead Davie baseball to a 4-2 upset win over first-place Trinity. Burton Barger retired af-ter 40 years of teaching and coaching, the final 16 years at Davie. In a feature story in the Enterprise, Barger said: “We are offering stu-dents too much now. I think they should get back to the basic Rs - readin, ritin and rithmatic. I’ve seen many a carpenter who couldn’t write his name, but he could read a rule.”Davie softball opened the state playoffs with a 3-2 win at Watauga. Michele Deal had two hits and Leisa Hepler homered. In the third round, Deal and Melissa Matthews pounded two hits each as Davie edged visiting Statesville 5-4. In the quarterfinals, though, Davie was overwhelmed 19-2 by Madison-Mayodan. Kim Howard, Donna Hen-drix, Hepler, Cammie Paige and Matthews had one hit apiece as Aileen Steelman’s squad finished 17-4. Making all-conference were seniors Hendrix and Sherri Kepley; juniors Melissa Smiley and Teresa Smith; and sopho-mores Dawn Brown and Matthews.

DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, June 8, 2023 ‑ B3 Lots of hunters and fish-ermen have a happy place. It might be a boat dock that gave up a big bass more than once, a favorite deer stand that seemed to almost attract big bucks, maybe a blind where duck after duck came into decoys without hesitation.I visited my happy place a week ago on a 640-acre farm in Georgia where my father was raised. The oc-casion was a trip to take him, 92, back to his old home place one more time – hopefully not the last, God willing and the creeks don’t rise. The place is full of memories. I killed my first squirrel there, out of an oak tree along a lit-tle branch that now feeds a 4-acre pond. I killed the first deer ever taken on the place, a 4-point buck on Nov. 26, 1976 – Thanks-giving afternoon, my soph-omore year in college, after a great meal my dear grandmother made. I shot him right through the white patch under his chin.I had to look a bit for my happy spot, because the place has changed. My grandfather took it out of cultivation around 1960 and planted pine trees. My uncle bought the place in 1970 and cut most down, plus all the hardwoods he could get to in a couple of big creek swamps. Every-thing was replanted, and all the pines have been cut down one more time and replanted again.But the trees being gone made the place a little hard to find. I got up early, the sunlight shining through the window of the room where I was sleeping. No-body else was up, so I slipped on my boots and made a big loop, marveling at all the deer and turkey tracks. I made a 90-degree right-hand turn where the lane headed east, back to-ward the paved road, and I looked for the spot on the side of the ditch where it all happened. I found it – I’ve always been able to locate it because a deer trail has left a little impression – and I walked out in the field of junk and the newly planted pines about 20 yards, stand-ing pretty much on the ex-act spot.It was 1968, the day af-ter Christmas, after a 10-hour road trip that followed the opening of presents in Virginia. Four of us left the house after breakfast that morning after bacon and eggs and grits and country ham and biscuits – nobody could match my grand-mother hunched over a hot stove – we dropped the dogs out of the back of the truck to hunt Mr. Floyd’s field, which was a cut corn-field. Up at the end of the field toward Mr. Floyd’s house, one of the younger dogs busted a covey about 20 yards from the trees that marked the west side of the lane. While my uncle cussed a blue streak at the dogs, my dad and grand-father marked where the birds went. The dogs beat us there, of course, and we made our way through the hedgerow, across the lane, and up into the pines.Mmy grandfather’s three best dogs – Dan, an English setter, and Mike and Tim, rangy pointers – were locked up when we got there. My grandfather told me to be careful, and we walked in behind them. Somehow, when a hand-ful of birds got up, one of them came up about 10 yards in front of me. My grandmother’s side-by-side 20-gauge Fox double-bar-rel came up almost auto-matically – I wasn’t smart enough to do anything that well on purpose – and I squeezed the front trigger. About 10 yards in front of where he got up, the cock bird I’d fired at exploded in feathers.I can remember my dad, on the far left, shooting at a bird three times as it dipped and ducked through the pines. I remember hearing my grandfather shoot di-rectly to my left, and my uncle shoot to my right. I don’t remember how many birds fell out of the half-dozen or so singles that were grouped loosely in those pines, but when the dog brought me mine, I would have hugged it if it had been big enough. I accepted congratulations from the grown-ups and stuck it in the pocket of my bird-hunting vest.I killed several more quail during the three or four days we hunted on that vacation. I made sev-eral shots that were much more difficult. But none will ever be as important as that first bobwhite. It was almost 55 years ago, but I remember it as vividly as if it was yesterday. I will take that memory to my eternal home, where I hope my grandmother has fried quail and rice, country ham and red-eye gravy and corn-bread waiting for that first meal in heaven.State‑record snapperThe N.C. Division of Marine Fisheries has cer-tified a state-record man-grove snapper caught three weeks ago near Frying Pan Tower.Adrian Faircloth of Sup-ply was fishing with a live menhaden on a custom rod and Penn International 50W reel when he caught the 15-pound, 3.2-ounce fish, which bested the pre-vious state record by al-most 3 pounds.Faircloth’s snapper was 29 ½ inches long and 23 inches in girth.New striper slot limitNorth Carolina anglers have a new recreational regulation to deal with, a newer, more-restrictive slot limit, for ocean-caught striped bass.The limit, which brings the state into compliance with a federal fisheries management board’s recent action, began June 1.Fishermen will be al-lowed to keep one striper per day, between 28 and 31 inches long. The only change from previous reg-ulations was the upper limit on the slot was 35 inches.Fishermen are still re-quired to use a non-offset circle hook when using live or natural bait, and it remains illegal to gaff a striped bass.The regulation will re-main in effect until at least Oct. 28 in ocean waters out to 3 miles from shore. It is illegal to keep a striper in federal waters, which are 3 miles out and beyond. Revisiting a treasured happy place from days gone by Adrian Faircloth of Supply caught this 15-pound mangrove snapper near Frying Pan Tower on May 6, the new North Carolina record.

B4 - DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, June 8, 2023 Levi Clemons of the Machine Pitch Rail Riders had a great game at the plate and in the field. He went 3 for 3 with two doubles and used his speed to score every time he got on base. Jayce Plummer of the T-ball Hooks rocked his game while having one arm in a cast. He ran the bases super fast, played the field one-handed and most importantly, showed up for his team. Aaron Gutierrez of the Minor Cubs stepped up and took the mound, striking out three in two innings. Not only that, he also caught two popups. Mason Walker of the Major Braves has shown great growth with focus and his positivity. In one game, he crushed the ball and made a play in the infield, jumping high to stop an over- throw and saving multiple runs.

He started the last two games, and in Game 6 he responded with 21 points on 7-13 shooting. Then came Game 7, when Martin accelerated his rise as an improbable sensation. He scored 26 points on 11-16 shooting. He drained 4 of 6 3-point-ers. He yanked down 10 rebounds. He scored the final five points of the third quarter for the Heat when the game was still close, hit-ting a triple before burying a turnaround jumper to put the Heat ahead by 10. Then he opened the fourth with a 3. This came after the Heat absorbed a gut punch at the end of Game 6. This after the Celtics threatened to become the first NBA team ever to win a series after trailing three games to none. Miami rolled 103-84 in Game 7, advanced to the NBA Finals against Denver and Martin almost won MVP of the Eastern Con-ference finals. Teammate Jimmy Butler got five votes; Martin got the other four. The former War Eagle was that close to taking the Larry Bird Trophy. Joe Vardon of The Ath-letic wrote about why he voted for Martin: “I voted for Martin for series MVP because he was, unarguably, Miami’s most consistent player for seven games, and the four 3s he made in Game 7, especially the one at the end of the third quarter, were some of the biggest shots of the night.”It’s hard to overstate how important Martin was to Miami taking down the Celtics. He torched Boston with 135 points. He shot 60.2 percent from the field (53 of 88), 48.9 percent from 3-point range and averaged 19.3 points - remarkable numbers when you consider he averaged 9.6 points in the regular season, when you look back and remember he was undrafted in 2019 and spent time in the G League from 2019 through 2022. Miami coach Erik Spoel-stra said: “If you’re a real competitor and it’s in your Continued From Page B1in doubles (11), fifth in hits (56) and sixth in at-bats (191). So much for slowing down at 34 and becoming a part-time player. He’s in the lineup just about every day. “It’s such a game of skill mixed with a little bit of luck,” a philosophical Merrifield said on Tim & Friends. “I mean all you can do is prepare and put up the best at-bat you can, and a lot of times that doesn’t work out. You could get a bad call from an umpire and that changes the at-bat around. You could hit a ball hard that gets caught. On the flip side, you could get a borderline pitch that gets called a ball and now you’re sitting 2-0. Or you flare one that lands on the line and you get a double. It’s a double but that wasn’t as good of an at-bat where I smoked it and it got caught.” Caleb... Whit ... By Brian PittsEnterprise Record The Mocksville Legion baseball team fell behind visiting Concord 4-3 in the top of the fifth, and it will remain 4-3 for at least three weeks. The Southern Division opener was stopped by rain and lightning on June 3, and the suspended game will be completed as part of a doubleheader at Concord on June 24. Mocksville got off to a flying start in the bottom of the first. With one out, a double by Andrew McAl-lister sparked a three-run uprising. “He came in at the very last minute,” coach Tristan “Shaggy” Wyatt said of McAllister, who is a senior at Reagan High. “He com-mitted to St. Andrews and I can tell he has abilities defensively and offensively to be one of the top guys for sure.”After the double, Bryson Morrison reached on an error, Dan Loyd walked and Dakota Green drove in one with a single. Shawn Sealey By Brian PittsEnterprise Record Craig McBride made a huge splash in his season debut on the mound, and Carson Queen and Parker Davis paced the offense as the Mocksville Junior Le-gion baseball team pounded visiting Mt. Pleasant in the first game of the double-header on June 1. The second game was also all Mocksville, a 12-5 win that evened its record at 3-3. In game one, McBride was the story. He pitched a five-hitter with zero walks. He fired 62 strikes in 86 pitches and only faced 27 batters in seven innings. “It was a fantastic out-ing,” coach Chad Cox said of McBride, who normally mans center field. “We told him we had a lot of games coming up in a short amount of time, so we really needed him to throw strikes. After the first couple of innings, he was dealing and we just ran with him. I knew Craig could pitch, so we gave him the ball and he did really well.”Mocksville got all the runs it would need in the bottom of the first. McBride, soul, and that’s what Caleb is. He’s a competitor. He has so much respect in that locker room just because of how hard he competes. It’s like his last breath on every single possession, and I love the guy for that.”Bam Adebayo of the Heat said: “Caleb definitely made a name for himself. After that loss (in 2022), I feel like he made it a nec-essary effort to really come back and be like, I’m going to be a reason why we win a series or be a reason why we win big games.”Butler said: “That might have surprised y’all. To us, he’s a hell of a player, hell of a defender, playmaker, shot maker, all of the above. Everybody has seen Caleb work on those shots day in, day out. It doesn’t surprise us. We have seen it every single day. I’m so proud and happy for him.”One more thing about Martin’s series against Boston: Only six players have scored more than 135 points and shot 60 percent in a conference finals in the last 40 years. They were Shaquille O’Neal, Dwya- Legion trails by 1 in suspended game and Tyson Combs followed with RBIs on a single and a groundout, respectively. “In the past couple of games, Dakota’s been heat-ing up,” Wyatt said. “It’s a good time for him to heat up. I told him he’s going to be my No. 1 catcher, so he’s going to have to be here game in and game out. He took that to heart and he’s been doing pretty good.”Concord cut Mocks-ville’s lead to 3-2 in the second, and the visitors were ready to tie it up, if not surge ahead, in the fourth. But Sealey made a spectacular play at shortstop to strand two runners. “He’s a really good shortstop,” Wyatt said. “He made a really, really good play when we were in a tough situation. He had to go to a backhand and he made a Derek Jeter/Manny Machado-type play. I don’t know how he did it. He backhanded it and threw it all the way to first. He had the Derek Jeter hop and the Manny Machado sidearm throw. I don’t know how he had the arm strength to get it there, but he got it there and beat the runner. That was a big game-saving play right there.”In the fifth, Mocksville pitcher Cole Whitaker was one out from posting his fourth zero. Unfortunately, a Concord batter made him pay for leaving a fastball up, homering with one on and two outs. Moments later, lightning struck and the teams were pulled off the field. The game was suspended with 4.2 innings in the books. “It was poorly timed for us,” Wyatt said of the lightning. Both teams had four hits when play was halted. McAllister (1 for 1, walk), Green (1-2), Sealey (1-2) and Hunter Daywalt (1-2) had the Mocksville hits. Notes: Two nights ear-lier, Mocksville’s record dipped to 2-3 following a dismal night at Kannapolis, which romped 10-0 to run its record to 5-0. Mocksville was victimized by Jalan Chambers, who went 4 for 4 with a homer, and pitch-ers Tanner Kaler and Will Hollmyer, who combined for the shutout. McBride tosses shutout; Stewart 4 hits for juniors Queen and Davis provided hits as the hosts burst to a 3-0 lead. Queen and Davis both went 2 for 3 with a dou-ble. Mocksville got 1-for-3 efforts from Logan Allen, McBride, Nate Barr and Corbin Angus. Game 2Later in the evening, Kason Stewart and Queen completely went off as Mocksville secured the sweep. Stewart, the third batter in the order, went 4 for 5 with two runs, three RBIs and three doubles. “Kason started off a little rocky (this season), just not getting the pitches he wants to drive,” Cox said. “But Kason is a ballplayer I’ve been around and I know his capabilities. His history with me is the reason he bats in the middle of the lineup, and I had faith that he would come around.”The No. 2 batter, Queen, also had a monster game, going 3 for 5 with three runs, three RBIs and two doubles. “Carson is always at the top of the lineup for a reason,” Cox said. “He’s a hitter and he runs the bases well. On top of that, his glove is always outstanding (at shortstop).”It was actually a compet-itive game until Mocksville broke it open in the fourth. Angus walked, Jacob Hicks laid down a bunt hit and Jackson Lea walked to set the table for Queen, who responded with a two-run double. Stewart followed with one of his doubles. Then came a triple from Barr, who capped a five-run explosion and pushed the Mocksville lead to 6-1. Mocksville piled up 16 hits, including two from Barr (2-2, walk), Aaron Hutchens (2-2), Angus (2-2, three runs, two walks) and Hicks (2-3). Lea went 1-3 with two runs. Two of Mocksville’s four pitchers kept Mt. Pleasant from scoring. Joshua Whita-ker threw two scoreless innings, and Queen finished up the final 2.1 innings while allowing just one hit. Notes: One day be-fore hosting Mt. Pleasant, Mocksville was crushed 11-0 at South Rowan. Allen (1-3), Barr (1-2), Hicks (1-2) and Jacob Morgan (1-1) had Mocksville’s 4 hits. Queen had 2 walks. South knocked around 3 pitchers and ended the game in four and a half innings. in conjuction with the Davie County Enterprise Record Invite you to nominate an individual to be recognized as VETERAN OF THE MONTH A Veteran will be chosen from the entries and published in the Davie County Enterprise Record on the first Thursday of the month. sponsored by: Submit your nominationourdavie.com/veterans ne Wade, LeBron James, Dwight Howard, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Shawn Kemp. “You figure out if you’re built for these types of en-vironments or not whenever you get into them,” Martin said. “I feel like I’ve just been continuously prepping and getting ready for these moments, and when these moments come, I feel like I’m ready for them.“I definitely reflect on where I started and the jour-ney it’s taken to get here. But I think more than any-thing, it’s kind of a weird feeling because I’m also understanding that as happy as I am, as grateful as I am to be here, I also understand that we have four more. The job is not done. We didn’t go through what we went through all the regular sea-son and my personal journey to stop here.”The Heat became just the second team to advance to the finals as a No. 8 seed. Their series against Denver was 1-1 after Miami’s upset win in Denver on Sunday. Game 3 was June 7 in Mi-ami. Caleb Martin helped the Heat reach the NBA Finals. Whit Merrifield is having a strong season for Toronto.

Wesley Chapel is three miles west of Farm-ington just off of NC 801 North on Pino Road. We look forward to seeing you.Homecoming was held at Wesley Chapel on Sun-day, June 3. A large crowd of members, former mem-bers, and friends were pres-ent for the worship service. The man, who has served at pastor of Wesley Chapel for the last eight years, Ar-nold Gosnell, delivered the sermon - the last he will de-liver at Wesley Chapel. The members of Wesley Chapel have appreciated all that Pastor Gosnell has done for them, and, even though they are sad to see him leave as their pastor, they wish him well in his new assignment. After worship, there was a covered dish meal in the fellowship hall, which gave church members and visi-tors time to visit while they enjoyed the bountiful lunch.The following history of Wesley Chapel was in the church bulletin on Home-coming Sunday. “Wesley Chapel Church was established because a group of devout Christian people sought a place to worship God. “In 1852, Harmon Hamp-ton McMahan built a small log church building on his plantation. The site of this original building is about three miles west of the pres-ent church and the land now belongs to the J. D. Shelton heirs. This crude log build-ing with seats made of split logs was used until 1880.“The church, a Meth-odist Episcopal South, was placed on the Farmington Circuit in 1876 and was served by Pastor W.C. Wil-son.“In June 1886, Mrs. Jane Brock McMahan deeded two and a half acres of land for a church and a cemetery on which the present church stand. The church building was constructed during the late 1880s and was not very sturdy. At one point, it had to be torn down and rebuilt on the same foundation. This building was used until 1949 when the congregation decided they would have to build a new church or dis-band.“Members of the church went to work cutting logs, taking them to a sawmill and helping with the carpen-try work on the new church. The building was dedicated July 29, 1951 with Rever-end John Oakley as pastor.For many years the Fel-lowship Hall was in the basement of the church. It became too small and not easily accessible for our se-niors so the UMW went to work selling chicken pies and fruit pies and having monthly breakfasts to pay for a new Fellowship Hall. Through the hard work of the UMW, a gift from Duke Endowment, and many generous contributions, the building became a reality. The formal dedication of the new building was held on June I, 2003 with the note of indebtedness being burned on the day.”Members had two eve-ning meals recently. The first was May 17 to wel-come the new pastor, James Randolph (Randy) Purdue, who is coming from Lewis-ville. Union United Meth-odist near Lewisville will be on the charge with Wesley Chapel. Rev. Purdue will also have some involvement with “The Bridge.”The second dinner at was on May 31 to honor Pastor Arnold and his wife, Sandy, and to thank them. The Gosnell family will be moving to East Bend, where Rev. Gosnell will pastor two churches.Kathy and Bob Ellis, Rick and Judy Wilson, Ju-dy’s mother, Violet Coursey, and Kathy’s aunt, Ann Cline, recently returned from a bus tour to Ken-tucky. They saw the replica of Noah’s Ark, which they described as being so big it was almost unbelievable, and they toured an Amish settlement and had lunch in one of the Amish homes, where the meal was served family style. They also en-joyed other points of inter-est before returning home. Eaton’s Baptist Church lost one of its valuable long-time members last week when Bob Langston died at his home. Bob and his wife, Marietta Rummage Langston, have been active at their church for many years. Bob held a number of offices in the church, and he and his wife attended Ea-ton’s worship services each Sunday as long as they were able. Bob was buried in the cemetery at Eaton’s on Thursday afternoon.
