Really, it is.Last weekend at the Hon-est Amish National Beard and Moustache Championships in Daytona Beach, Fla., Kelly came home with the Best Han-dlebar Moustache award. Handle this Davie man wins national moustache competition Hunter Kelly holds his national championship handlebar moustache award. - Submitted Photo The Mocksville man, 24, has sported a moustache off and on for several years, but began letting it grow about two years ago.Last year, he also entered the contest. “I was robbed,” he said, quickly adding that there is a lot of friendly banter among competitors. He was convinced by social media followers not to cut it, and then a company sent him some wax for his moustache as a sponsor. “It snowballed from there,” he said. “We have three times as many watching on Tik Tok and Instragram.”Yes, there was a prize. And no, he’s not a professional. Kelly is a personal trainer in Mooresville.“This is my side job, but not lucrative. I like to call it brag-ging rights,” he said. “We have a friendly community, and it’s great to get together. It’s a great time.” Please See Moustache - Page 5 The Enterprise Record will be printed a day early next week so local suabscribers should receive their issues in the mail on Wednesday.Deadlines for all news and advertisements for this section is at noon on Friday.

Tell us what you think Thank you for being honest The Literary Corner: Renegade Writer’s Guild Please See Renegade ‑ Page 7 Elisabeth Strillacci Remembering a bright soul To the editor:We would like to thank the young lady who found my husband's wallet last week. Apparently it slid out of his pocket and car door in the Mocksville Post Office parking lot. We are very grateful to the honest and kind young lady who turned it in. Thank you so much. May God's richest blessings be bestowed on you.Brenda & Robert RutherfordMocksville I’m pretty good at rolling with the punches as they come, even when I don’t like them, but this week, I and many others have taken a blow that I know a lot of us are struggling with.Thirty-four years is not a long enough life, not for most of us anyway.This week, a dear friend and until recently, a co-worker, passed away unexpectedly after a bout with the flu went sideways.Brittany Nicole Montaigne was just 34, and she and her husband, Brandon, have been married since 2018. The life they wanted, fought for, included children, and after many hopeful mo-ments, their daughter Trinity was born.And Brandon and Trinity were the lights of Britt’s life. She was the circulation director at the Salis-bury Post and for the Enterprise Record. She is from my hometown of Lexington, and our paths and histories are far more connected than I initial-ly realized when I met her.Over time, I grew to know and love her gentle demeanor that hid a delightful sense of humor, and I admired the focus she put on her family. With bright eyes and long brown hair, she could light a room when she walked in. Her quiet confidence always made me feel any problem was surmountable.She told me once that she often worried about dying young because both of her parents had, but then she would put it aside and carry on.She and Brandon were, are, the best of friends, and they share a love all of us would be so lucky to have.She was always interested in how we could better connect with the community we covered, how we could improve our commitment to local coverage. I cannot count the number of messages, thoughts and ideas she forwarded to me that turned into great stories.There were health challenges along her way, but she always faced them with strength and perseverance and I, like most of us, let her convince me it was never any cause for real concern.She developed double pneumonia and it was so fast and so strong that even her young body and determined heart could not fend it off. When the news came that she was gone, I thought my heart would stop. It just seemed so impossible. As a group, my former coworkers came together to mourn, to remember, and to support one another. And I watched a massive outpouring come for Brandon and Trinity and their family. It has been humbling and comforting to see how many people knew and loved Brittany.Again and again the messages talked about how Britt had lifted others up, been the light and the hope for others, and now they wanted to be that for her. Prayers have been unceasing, even as they shifted from prayers she would recover to prayers for her husband and child.All of that is comforting, and reassuring, that we can still come together in love and support when one or more of us needs it.But I also confess, I am angry at the uni-verse. It’s just not fair. She should be home with her little girl, and walking through the office with her big smile and quiet step.Don’t tell me this is God’s will. God does not decide to let a 34 year old young mother die. I firmly believe God set us in motion and gave us all the skills we needed to survive, and then he stepped back and let us do what we do.But I do believe this much – I believe that God, and all the angels in Britt’s life, surrounded that hospital bed, holding her hands and filling the room with light, and when the moment came they took away any fear, and showed her the way home. I know she will forever be the angel watching over her sweet girl and beloved husband. I know the world is a little dimmer now, that there is a hole where she should be that will never be filled. But I am grateful there is no pain, no suffering for her, and I am adding my voice to those that are praying for peace, for grace, for easing of the pain for her family.You made a difference, Brittany, and you left an amaz-ing legacy. Godspeed my dear friend, until we meet again.Elisabeth Strillacci is a former editor of the Salisbury Post. Zachary Smith Reynolds, Part IIBy Linda H. BarnetteUnfortunately, Smith Reynolds died just a few months after his wedding to Libby. On July 6, he was shot and died in the East sleeping porch at Reynolda. His friend Ab Walker and Libby got him into a car and took him to Baptist Hospital where he was officially pronounced dead. On the same day, the coroner ruled his death a suicide. However, at a later inquest the coroner changed the cause of death to “death was the result of a bullet fired by person or persons unknown.” Both Walker and Libby were indicted and could have been charged with murder but for the fact that W.N. Reyn-olds, Smith’s uncle, told the district attorney that the fam-ily believed it was suicide, so there was never a trial. The Reynolds money and power kept a media show from hap-pening and also the truth of the death.After his death, the family established the Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation, which has provided many millions to local charities through the years and is still active. The Winston-Salem airport was also named for Smith. For many years my son and I have gone to Reynolda House many times and always on Mother’s Day. I had read “Libby,” a book about Smith’s second wife and his death at the house. Several times we asked the docents to show us where the event happened, but they were never willing to answer questions about it.When I read about the “Smith and Libby” exhibition, I knew we must go, and we did. There are several pic-tures, documents, and a short film to watch, along with a reproduction of Libby’s purple gown that she wore on Broadway. After we viewed the exhibit, we toured the house again and were finally able to see where Reynolds was shot. To this day his death remains a mystery because nobody knows for sure if it was suicide or murder.After his death, Libby gave birth to their son, Christo-pher, who died at age 17 attempting to climb Mt. Whitney. She took her own life in 1971.A friend of the family, Charles Brackett, wrote in his diary in 1932 that “the Reynolds children seemed to me to be perfect examples of what too much money and too little discipline can produce.”Many thanks to my grandfather, W. N. Smith, for get-ting me interested in this family. When he was young, he worked there making baskets and always had a fondness for them. Another example of how things get passed on from one generation to others. Harvest TimeBy E. BishopWhile visiting the 30th annual Cornshucking Frolic at the Horne Creek Living Historical Farm, a 19th century gospel hymn written by Knowles Shaw came to mind. It’s an old time favorite full of symbolism to bring people clos-er to God. “Sowing in the morning, sowing seeds of kindness,Sowing in the noontide and the dewy eve;Waiting for the harvest, and the time of reaping,We shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves.” The literal meaning of bringing in the sheaves, of course, is harvesting of the grain into bundles to be used for the coming winter. Although the historical farm did not have grain to harvest, it did have many activities of interest along with the corn shucking. Horne Creek Farm is in Pin-nacle, NC and depicts farm life in the northwest Piedmont area around 1900. It is a working farm with livestock, poultry, the original farmhouse, a tobacco curing barn, a corn crib, fields under cultivation and a heritage apple or-chard among other things. On the day of our visit, we enjoyed listening to music and watching people flat foot, saw quilters showing off their skills, sorghum molasses making, a strong man using a horse to plow the garden, apple cider being made, and the children and adults thoroughly enjoying shucking corn and throwing it into the corn crib to be used as food for the farm animals. Touring the tobacco barn which was fully functional with the smoke and tobacco being cured, the house museum with period furniture (imagine straw tick beds), well house and kitchen where bread was being baked, all staffed by knowledgeable volunteers, was very entertaining. There is also the family graveyard down to-ward the creek in the woods to visit, down past the sheep and goat pastures.According to the brochure for the event, Horne Creek Farm’s Southern Heritage Apple Orchard features more than 425 varieties of old southern apples, many of which are on the brink of extinction. There are dedicated “apple hunters” that are trying to prevent this from happening. You would not believe how many different apples they had at this event. Let’s hope they save every one. The East sleeping room at Reynolda where Smith Reynolds was killed. As I drove by the gas station Monday, I noticed the price was well under $3 a gallon. I was in a hurry, and had plenty in the tank, so I didn’t stop.It had jumped 14 cents a gallon by the next morning.Another wrong decision in the never-ending fluctuation of gas prices.It seems that last weekend, the Mocksville area was one of the cheapest places around to get gas. We don’t get to say that very much; prices here are usually higher.Why do they fluctuate so much?There are a lot of reasons. Some make sense, some make you scratch your head.The price of a tanker of gas to fill a station’s coffers changes daily. Stations don’t order gas on the same days. The charge you pay will be based in part on what they pay.There are things like real estate prices where the station is located, the distance the gas has to travel to get to the station, etc.And there’s competition and greed. In some ways, these things are what built this country. It made us what we are today.Even the stations that sometimes feature lower prices to fill the tank aren’t doing it to help your pocketbook. They know that people will shop around for lower gas prices (How many times have you traveled to another town basi-cally to take advantage of lower gas prices?); and if they offer it for $2.85 a gallon when their nearby competitors charge $2.99, folks will stop. And many of those gas guz-zlers will march inside the store and pay outrageous prices for snacks, such as $2 for a 20 oz. bottle of water. If they priced gas like this, we would be paying well over $6 a gallon.It’s all about the dollar. It always has been and it always will be about the almighty dollar.Most businesses will charge whatever the consumer will pay. Thank goodness there are some regulations for things such as gasoline, which in our society, is an essen-tial part of everyday life - even for those who don’t even own a car.And yes, a portion of that gasoline cost in North Caroli-na goes to taxes. Those taxes are necessary to help upkeep our roads. That’s a good idea.Do owners of electric vehicles pay taxes that help fund our roadways? They do now, thanks to recently adopted legislation. All vehicle owners pay a $38.75 registration fee; electric vehicle owners will soon face an additional $140.75 registration fee, going to $180 in July. Hybrid owners now pay a $90 additional fee, going to $107 in July.It seems like a more fair way to pay for our roads, but that registration fee isn’t based on how much the vehicle is on the road, as is the case for gasoline-powered vehicles.Use Uber or Lyft? Exclusive riders will pay an addi-tional 2% tax next year, and ride sharers will pay a 1% tax.The bottom line: Get a bicycle.- Mike Barnhardt Fees for electric vehicles increase DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Nov. 16, 2023 - 3 BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT The BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT- An AFFORDABLE marketing choice!

Continued From Page 2We have enjoyed visiting this place through the years and have seen it materialize into a great historical site that everyone should visit at least once in their lifetime to get a better understanding of how people had to survive before all of the modern conveniences we enjoy today. It is a great place to educate our children and to have a little fun while doing it. Another special event to check out is com-ing up for the Christmas holidays. “Sowing in the sunshine, sowing in the shadows,Fearing neither clouds nor winter’s chilly breeze,By and by the harvest, and the labor ended,We shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves.” Happy Thanksgiving. Our Job is to LoveBy Stephanie Williams DeanAbout once a month, a contemporary Christian artist performs at the well-known Billy Graham Training Center in Asheville. Billy Graham’s daughter, Gigi, always intro-duces the musician before he takes the stage at the Eve-nings at the Cove. But first, Gigi tells a story about either her daddy, Billy Graham, or her Mama, Ruth Graham. At last Sunday night's performance, Gigi shared a story of a special trip she took with her father to Washington D.C. She goes on to tell us that the trip was right around the time when Bill Clinton was President and the Monica Lewinsky scandal had just broken. And then that infamous dress with the stain appeared on the scene – the dress was all the headline news.Gigi worried how her daddy would react after finding out he would be seated right beside Clinton for the event. But Gigi said her daddy took it in stride like a champ and said, “I’ll sit beside him the same way I’ll sit beside anyone else.”Back at The Cove, Gigi spoke some mighty profound words to the audience as part of her introduction. Here’s what she had to say about what she learned from her father about loving people.“Our job is to love. And it’s the Holy Spirit’s job to con-vict. And it’s God’s job to judge. And you know I think we need to practice that a little more because sometimes I look at these young people out here that might look a lit-tle strange to some of us older folks. But you know what? They’re crying out for love. Everyone wants love and ev-eryone needs encouragement. So if we could just practice that and let the Holy Spirit convict – now I don’t’ know about you all, but have you ever tried to convict your chil-dren of anything? It doesn’t work. But you pray and you just let the Lord Jesus handle it, and you just trust God.”Our job is to love – it’s worth repeating. Renegade ... The IGNITE DAVIE partners continue to move toward the goal of raising a $3 million endowment for the college promise pro-gram.“The Dec. 31 self-im-posed deadline is quickly approaching and there is ap-proximately $200,000 left to raise,” said Jane Simp-son, president and CEO 118 Hospital st. • Mocksville, Nc 27028 • 336.751.6289 “Because you should want to see your dentist” Accepting Most Major Insurances | RiversFamilyDentistry.com Andrew J.

Just a couple of years later, she was diag-nosed with childhood lueke-mia and is undergoing che-motherapy treatments. She is the daughter of Courtney and Austin Gunt-er. “They will be staying in the hospital for a month at a time for six months,” Kea-ton said. “Neither Courtney or Austin will be working during this time so that they can be by their daughter’s side.”Caleb Williams, 13, was diagnosed in July with liver cancer. “He is a kind, sweet, smart, funny and deter- mined boy,” she said. “He loves his family, friends, dog and playing Roblox. He has faced every challenge of his diagnosis with brav-ery and hopefullness. He is definitely a warrior.” Seniors encouraged to support Ignite Davie of the Davie Community Foundation.

Flag and Bermuda Run Flag.”So with Veterans Day coming up last Saturday, it seemed to be an appropri-ate time to more formally launch The Flags at Blue Heron Trail project.“I asked our Bermuda Run Community Vision Fund Committee, co-chaired by town residents Christy Schafer and Sha-ron Reid, to provide some thoughts on where and how we could assemble such a place – some place that will be meaningful for all who pass it by,” Cross said. “As expected, this group got right to work in determin-ing a location. They worked on design and development options and settled on the name.”Schafer recalls meeting with Cross and Lee Rollins, the former town manager, about a year and a half ago when the idea was presented to erect a flag plaza down at the end of the trail toward the end of the WinMock parking lot.“The actual plaza would go there with flags behind it and some tumbled boul-ders, and we immediately said ‘yes,’ “ Schafer said. “Then we got the landscape architect, and that took some time. We told them can come up with the vi-sion and we can come up with the fund-raising piece, but building it is not in our scope. Everything is where it needs to be right now.“We have already launched a fund-raising campaign and are doing re-markably well. There is tre-mendous enthusiasm in the community for this project.”Schafer said that commu-nity involvement is needed for three-phase funding that will include a third of the money coming from grants, a third from community-honored pavers and a third through corporate partners. Schafer added that Wayne Thomas, the founder and owner of WinMock, “is al-lowing us to use some of the property in his backyard and has also agreed to maintain the site.”The flag plaza rounds out a town and county theme with the roundabout that in-cludes the obelisk – where near the top is a cupola with a blue heron, which is the town logo, and features a copper roof and a weather vane at the summit. The heron relates to Ber-muda Run and Davie Coun-ty's tie to the Yadkin River and wildlife. The cupola represents Bermuda Run and Davie County's agricultural and village heritage.“It’s going to be real pret-ty,” Schafer said. “I think it’s an absolutely marvelous testament to the town and to what they want us to look like for our visitors and resi- dents coming in. The town’s mission to build a legacy of community, and this is defi-nitely a worthy project to show that.”Cross added: “Ours is a special community, and as we proceed with this mean-ingful project, I expect that our residents will embrace it fully. The mosaic of brick pavers, available for pur-chase and engraving, will serve to honor loved ones, cherished friends and our community.”The Bermuda Run Com-munity Vision Fund Com-mittee, managed by the Davie Community Founda-tion, aims to oversee, plan and implement charitable giving, fundraising, and the design and implementation of projects and events.

Squadron supporting wreath project 10 - DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Nov. 16, 2023 By Gracie HauserDavie County Early College Danielle Mallory, a science teacher at Davie County Early College High School (DCECHS), applied for a grant through the Davie Community Foundation. The grant’s purpose was to provide a way to build relationships be-tween the senior citizens and youth of Davie Coun- ty. The foundation award-ed $4,500 to DCECHS in early October. As soon as the grant was received, plans were made to visit Bermuda Village so that students could spend time with res-idents. Funds were used to purchase flowers and jars. Some students scavenged a nearby trail for foliage to accentuate the flower arrangements while others wrote thoughtful messages on cards. A group of students delivered the flowers and cards to Bermuda Village residents on Friday, Oct. 27. Noelle Brown, a sopho-more, enjoyed handing out the gifts. “We really bright-ened their day,” she said. The school has plans to continue the outreach proj-ect through visits to Som-erset and other assisted living facilities. a resident.

GREENVILLE – Brittany Nicole Montaigne went peacefully to her heavenly home on Tuesday, Nov. 7, 2023. She was soothed and prayed for by her closest fam-ily, by her side, there to love and support her to the last earthly breath.She was 34 years young and said to be living the happiest years of her life.Brittany was born on Aug. 19, 1989, in Lex-ington, NC to Paula Mash Williams and Nathan Eugene Williams. She grew up in Tyro, NC and graduated from West Davidson High School. She started her college journey receiving her associate degree from Davidson County Com-munity College and earning her bachelor of arts in psychology from UNC Charlotte. At the time of her passing, Brittany was studying for and close to completing her Master of Business Management & Publications from East Carolina Univer-sity.Brittany was preceded in death by: her parents, her fa-ther when she was 17 yand her mother when she was 23. Her loving grandparents stepped in and brought her up and guided her.She decided early on in life to not succumb to her cir-cumstances, but to persevere and she made a beautiful life for herself. She prayed for God to send her someone spe-cial. Brandon, her loving husband of 5 years, was the love of her life and her best friend. She prayed to be a Momma. Her most beloved achievement was her beautiful daughter Trinity Ella who was born in April, 2020. Brittany saw Trinity Ella as her biggest blessing in life and never for any moment took that blessing for granted.Her Grandpa and Grandma each passed away (2020 and 2021 respectively), and she missed them and her par-ents deeply in life. Throughout her life, her family could see glimpses of her Momma and glimpses of her Daddy. She is so much like them; but so much herself, Brittany, at the same time.Brandon says: “I believe, strongly believe that even though losing her father, mother, grandpa and grandma, she was the happiest she had ever been. She was finally happy, and it showed through her smile and tenderness.”She took tragedy in her early life and turned it into strength and love for other people. She always gave peo-ple grace and was non-judgmental because she knew that everyone has their own struggles. She believed that ev-eryone deserved a chance and would help in any way that she could. She knew how much it meant to just be kind to them. It hurt her heart to see someone homeless. She would need to send Brandon to the ATM to pull out money to give them. She was too shy to give it to them, but she would send Brandon to bless them.She loved books and reading and loved teaching her daughter the gift of literature. She taught her daughter to pray and to love the Lord so she can know she never walks alone.Brittany enjoyed going shopping with her aunts, road tripping with her friends, watching tv and having heart to heart talks with loved ones. She loved music and was al-ways the driver on road trips. She liked to drive at all hours, sometimes talking about the past or future and sometimes just listening to loud music with the windows down.She loved Jesus and loved like Jesus. Her love shined through her beautiful smile and her kindness. She never missed a chance to say I love you. If you were family, if you were a friend, if you were a stranger, you knew you were loved and not alone in this world. She was able to draw people in and make them feel comfortable, import-ant, and heard.Brittany didn’t care anything about stuff she cared about people. She loved her people, the family she was given, the family she created, and friends who became family. Her heart was big and full of love. She was a genuine person and loved so hard and so passionately and expected nothing in return. She always makes sure her family was taken care of before she thought of herself.She had a lyrical soul and used that God given talent to ensure others’ loved ones were memorialized in beautifully written words. She loved to comfort other people and writing obit-uaries was her way of helping others in times of distress. She made sure that it was done per-fectly and on time. She was circulation director for The Salisbury Post for over 10 years and was committed to ensure the job was done right. She was a bit of a perfectionist. Her work ethic was phenomenal and yet she knew the value of time and experiences over making money. While she had a title, her work encompassed anything that needed to be done. She wore many hats at The Post and filled many shoes including delivering papers, writing obituaries, handling customers, sales, editing - whatever the job needed to get it done. She was a go getter. She loved her customers and the people she worked with side-by-side, and she loved all her employees. Her last day at work she was working to write other people’s obituaries because it needed to be done and done well.She will be dearly missed by many associates with The Post.A glorious reunion occurred as Brittany joined her loved ones in heaven; mother Paula Mash Williams, father Eugene Willams and beloved grandparents Nathan and Joyce Williams.She is survived by: husband, Brandon Montaigne and daughter Trinity Ella of their home in Statesville; many beloved cousins, aunts and uncles and many dear friends, specifically Ashley Craver Warren and Justin Toler-Sin-nott who, through deep and enduring friendship, became part of her beloved family.Brittany was so proud to be a wife to Brandon. She loved being a Momma to Trinity. These were her life’s prayers answered and gave her the greatest joys in life.Our family has been reading your many messages of love and support. We are comforted by the tremendous outpouring for Brittany and see that those that knew Brit-tany, even briefly, were touched by her.While we achingly miss Brittany, we have peace in knowing we shall one day be reunited.Brittany, you accomplished so much and touched so many people, now your job is to rest and watch.Brittany’s story scripted by God; words here shared by husband Brandon, Aunt Crystal, Aunt Melissa and honor-ary sister, Ashley.Aunt Melissa’s poem:I missed you today, I will miss you tomorrowTears in my eyes and a heart full of sorrowI hold on to the memories of the great times we hadI grieve for what I lost but am grateful for what I hadA celebration of life service will be held Thursday Nov. 16 at 6 p.m. At The Wave Church, 135 Village Point Drive, Statesville, NC 28625. Brittany Nicole Montaigne Dorothy Lee McClamrock Dollar BogerDorothy Lee McClamrock Dollar Boger woke up at the gates of Heaven on Monday, Nov. 13, 2023. Having begun her earthly journey on McClamrock Road, born to Thomas Clay (Dock) and Mae Boger Mc-Clamrock on May 7, 1927, she lived 96 years. She was prede-ceased by her parents, sister Jane Bowers and her two husbands, Dr. George W. Dollar and CB Boger. Her chief purpose in life was to serve the Lord she came to love at an early age. She sang and played the piano in many churches as well as taught Sun-day School and ministered with her gift of hospitality. She and CB were long-time members of Hope Baptist Tabernacle, and served with Amazing Grace Mis-sion at fairs. She was an avid reader of her Bible and had requested it be brought her in her last day alive (along with fruitcake). She graduated from Mocksville High School, studied and began secretarial work in Winston-Salem, worked for many doctors and retired from University of Michigan Hospital the same week she completed her Bachelor De-gree at Eastern Michigan University. Her work ethic was equaled only by her ability to fill up a dinner table. She also loved poetry, traveling, flowers and birds and making fun for her “grands.” She often expressed that her greatest joy was her two children, Marcia D. Phillips (Bill) of Mocksville and George W. Dollar of Tampa, Fla. She dearly loved and is also survived by her “grands” Annalisa Phillips Wilson (David) of London, England; Nathan Phillips of Ashe-ville; Carissa Dollar Brown (Dustin) of Archdale; Susanna Phillips Eckert (Weston) of Tuckerton, NJ; Braden Dollar (Lauran) of Ashburn, VA; Stephen Phillips of Greenville, SC and Caitlyn Dollar of Clearwater, FL. Her “greats” are Clive Wilson, Job Wilson, Caden Phillips and a greatly an-ticipated Baby Dollar. The funeral will be conducted by Pastors Bill Phillips and Chris Cantrell at Hope Baptist Tabernacle and burial will follow at Oak Grove Methodist cemetery.

Prepare menus ahead of time by choosing entrees with a selection of sides that unite tastes, flavors, and colors. You might even plan a formal dinner with courses served in an orderly fashion; and in keeping with the holidays, raise a glass with a celebratory toast of gratitude.For this week’s inspiration, I went to Aunt Doodie’s rec-ipe collection that my first cousin, Bobbi Jeanne, had en-trusted to me. Doodie’s husband, my Uncle Felix, was the Register of Deeds in Nashville for over 30 years – and his job came with many social obligations. Among my aunt’s collection were scores of preplanned, written menus for all occasions including holidays.I found a vintage Knights of Columbus fall party invitation with a dinner menu. With the theme “Good Fellowship – Ko-sher Food” the night began with a social hour at 7 and live band, the Fuzzy Orange Band, followed by dinner at 8. I love reminiscing about the old days of lavish and elegant entertaining – those with a seated, plated dinner accented by big band sounds for after-dinner dancing. Live music adds that wow factor to any occasion. It’s just so posh. There was another written menu for my cousin, Little Felix’s birthdays party fell smack dab in the middle of the holidays. I also included a between holiday, win-ter weeknight dinner as some will be hosting out-of-town guests.The culinary arts include so much more than cooking. While it does include food prep, it also includes table de-sign, place settings, buffet layouts, grocery listing, menu planning, and the art of taste – knowing what foods unite well with others according to taste and color. While on vacation Sunday, I attended a church in the mountains. The service opened with a lovely gratitude hymn called “Let All Things Now Living.” “Let all things now living a song of thanksgiving to God the creator triumphantly raise, who fashioned and made us, protected and stayed us, who still guides us on to the end of our days. God’s banners are o’er us, his light goes before us, a pillar of fire shining forth in the night, till shadows have vanished and darkness is banished, as forward we travel from light into light. His law he enforces, the stars in their courses and sun in its orbit obediently shine, the hills and the mountains, the rivers and fountains, the deeps of the ocean proclaim him divine. We too should be voicing our love and rejoic-ing with glad adoration a song let us raise, till all things now living unite in thanks-giving: “to God in the highest hosanna, and praise!”So let those of us, now living, voice our love – and raise a glass in thanks giving.

DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Nov. 16, 2023 - B1Sports By Brian PittsEnterprise Record From 1981-82 through 2018-19, a span of 38 years, the Davie wrestling team averaged 2.7 losses per season. Davie joined the Cen-tral Piedmont Conference in 1985 and captured 28 regular-season championships in 36 tries from 1986 through spring 2021. The past two years, though, the War Eagles were a shadow of what they used to be. They went 23-10 in 2021-22 and 17-9 last year. Both years they finished second in the CPC behind West Forsyth. (They’ve never experienced three straight years with a CPC title.)But Davie should be signifi-cantly better in Josh Stanley’s first year at the helm. In fact, it’s not crazy to dream about a state championship. The wrestling room is bursting with talent. It all starts with an all-star senior who has a career record of 110-7. Hunter Testa is one of 15 War Eagles who have reached 100 career wins before their se-nior year. He’s a three-time state qualifier. He’s a two-time bronze Davie wrestling bursting with talent By Brian PittsEnterprise Record When Josh Stanley was hired as Davie’s wrestling coach in May, his first order of business was putting together a coaching staff. Fast forward six months and it’s hard to imagine him finding better help than the staff he’s assembled. Stanley, 39, is a wrestling man to his core, and he’s surrounded himself with three wrestling-lov-ing machines. • Isaiah Whitley, 25, is a Davie graduate who recorded 121 career victories. He was an assistant un-der Buddy Lowery for a few years before the legend retired in 2019, and he’s been Stanley’s right-hand man for years. • Jordon Nolan, 31, was a three-time state champion in high school in West Virginia, and then he wrestled collegiately. • Caleb Spurlin, 25, was a three-time state champion in high school in Virginia, and he played football at Appalachian State. Yeah, it’s going to be tough for opponents to outfox this staff. “I told those kids the first day of practice: ‘You may find one or two guys in the state that have the accolades and stuff like that, but you’re not going to find one team that has the knowledge and experience of life and of sports in one room like this,’” Nolan said. “I wanted to surround ourselves with high-level guys,” Stanley said. “I’m trying to shut up some-times and let other guys jump in and coach. It’s hard for me to take a step back sometimes, but we have so much knowledge.”Whitley was the first athlete that Stanley ever trained at his Combat Athletics business. “When I started helping (Jason) Hooker at Ellis, Isaiah was part of that group before Combat even had a name, and he was in that group when I was training kids out of Gym 365 in Advance,” Stanley said. “He impacts kids, he knows how to communicate with them. If we have a Good Cop/Bad Cop, he’s the Good Cop. We have a good dynamic like that.”Stanley met Caleb Spurlin through Caleb’s brother Joshua, who was a four-time state champ at Galax High (Virginia) before wrestling at Appalachian State. Joshua is currently an assistant wrestling coach at Lake Norman. “We got lucky because Caleb’s By Brian PittsDavie Enterprise Record One half of the South Davie boys basketball team’s fearsome twosome (Noah Dulin) fouled out with four minutes remaining at Mooresville on Nov. 8. The Red Devils were within striking distance at the end of the third quarter (42-31 in South’s favor), and then a 16.2 scorer was whistled for his fifth personal three minutes into the fourth. Panic time for South? Not hard-ly. The other half of the mighty 1-2 punch (Draeton Nance) put the Ti-gers on his shoulders and exploded for 16 fourth-quarter points as By Brian PittsEnterprise Record This season has been story-book material for the Ellis girls basketball team. In a 57-15 rout of visiting South Davie on Nov. 6, the Jaguars reached 5-0 for the first time in their 17-year histo-ry. What’s more, three Jaguars (Gracie Shore, Olivia Smith and Gracyn Coleman) scored 13-plus points in the same game for the Ellis girls making history first time ever. Shore (19 points, five steals, two assists), Smith (13 points, nine steals, four rebounds, three assists) and Coleman (13 points, five steals, three assists) racked up 45 points together and everything else to drive the Ellis machine. “Our three captains, once again, led us both defensively and offen-sively,” coach Susan Jones said. “It took us a few possessions to get in gear, but once we got going, we pressured the ball, created turnovers and just kept building from there.”Zoe Summers (eight points, four rebounds, two steals) and Layla Hazlip (four points, five rebounds, three steals) provided nice contributions as well. “Layla continued to make her-self invaluable by being a strong presence in the paint,” Jones said. Although the inexperienced Tigers (4-2) obviously didn’t stand a chance in this game, coach Julie Snow was proud of them for giving it all they had. “We had eight girls and we re-ally missed Scarlett Brock,” Snow said. “We were really proud of how our girls continued to play even though we were losing. We chal-lenged our girls at halftime to go out and play like it was 0-0. They did that. (Beth) Carter and I were Nance takes over, South boys now 7-0 Please See History - Page B5 South outscored Mooresville 22-2 in the final seven minutes on the way to a 64-33 decision. “Defense,” coach Germain Mayfield said when asked what keyed the giant exclamation mark in South’s seventh win in as many tries. “Our D sparked everything. It was fun to watch.”It was a historic performance by Nance, who finished with 31 points. Since South became a mid-dle school in 1993-94, only three players have cracked 30 points twice in a season. The short list: Drew Absher in 2004-05, Dulin last year and Nance this year. Dulin had 16 points, William Martin 15 and Camden Holland two as the Tigers climbed to 7-0 for the first time in nine years. The last time was 2013-14, when Brent Wall was head coach of a 17-0 powerhouse that was led by Cooper Wall (20.6 ppg), Curtis Gray (12.7) and Ross Starnes (8). Even though South is drubbing opponents 66-25 on average, May-field is taking nothing for granted. “I tell people all the time, es-pecially in basketball, it’s really hard to go undefeated,” Mayfield said. “You have to have a lot of things go your way. Like (against mooresville), we had four kids out with the flu, including a starter (Anderson Branham) and my sixth man (Paxton Lewis).” SD 64, Ellis 36Two days before the trip to Mooresville, South destroyed an Ellis team that was without top scorer Brandon Forrest for the second game in a row. The Tigers have been so dom-inant that this was actually their closest game of the season. The South scorers: Nance 28, Dulin 19, Martin 7, Owen Parker 6, Branham 2, Tate Sechrest 2.

He’s coming off a 48-1 season. Af-ter dominating at 182 the past three years, Testa has dropped to 175. “He is the leader of the team,” said Stanley, who replaced Perry Long as coach after leading Lake Norman’s program for four years. Long guided Davie for four years. “We’re really chasing something for him individually and for the team. He’s a two-time All-Amer-ican. He’s chomping at the bit. He’s been training his butt off and he’s ready to make a statement this year.”Davie has a known quantity at 215 in senior Brysen Godbey. He has a strong 88-31 career record, but a 38-11 mark as a junior left him unfulfilled. He missed qual-ifying for the state after making it as a 40-10 sophomore, and he redefined himself in the offseason. “Last year he dropped some weight and I don’t feel like it suited him,” Stanley said. “But we’ve got him back up.

Davie American Little League Player Spotlights A couple of weeks ago, I found myself out in the country, running between a relative’s farm and the little country town that’s right down the highway, when I passed a sign on the left side of a road where anoth-er road broke off to the left at a 45-degree angle.“Ronnie’s Deer Process-ing.”Ronnie had a job with the state as a prison guard, but saving his four weeks of annual vacation for No-vember and having a couple of friends willing to work, he turned a backyard out-building into a cooler and opened a deer-processing business that did between 600 and 800 deer a year.We did a lot of hunting on that farm for a good de-cade, and we took an awful lot of whitetails to Ronnie’s for processing. He had a good turnaround time, so we could take in a deer or two we killed the first day or two, and he’d have them North Carolina hunters have a better opportunity this season to donate venison to help needy families through the N.C. Hunters Feeding the Hungry Program. - Photos Courtesy NCWRC processed by the time our week was up. He didn’t do anything special – no sausage or snack sticks or jerky, but you could get plenty of hamburger and cube steak in addition to the steaks and chops, and my son would occasion-ally have him leave a ham whole to give to one of his high-school football coach-es for a tailgate barbecue.The nicest thing about Ronnie’s, however, may have been that it was con-nected with Buckmas-ter’s Project Venison. You could take deer you had killed but didn’t need to eat and donate them, and Ronnie would grind them into deerburger and pack-age them in one-pound in- crements, and they would wind up at a local food bank for distribution to the needy, with Buckmasters footing the processing bill with funds from local chap-ters’ fund-raising banquets.We took advantage, be-cause hunting on 640 acres, we needed to take more deer than we could eat in a year’s time, just to keep the herd in check. There were weeks when, between us, we probably had four deer processed and donated an-other four. North Carolina has had a similar program “N.C. Hunters for the Hungry” for 30 years, mostly con-fined to the eastern part of the state, but this season, a handful of processors in the Piedmont, Foothills and mountains will be accept-ing deer donations to the program.The 30-year-old pro-gram has branched out, giv-ing hunters across the state access to processors who are approved by the state agriculture agency and who will take deer if they are harvested legally and transported according to N.C. Wildlife Commission standards. Conveniently, many processors are also sites where deer heads can be left for CWD testing by the Commission.According to the group’s website, In past years, hunt-ers have donated around 1,000 deer statewide, good for about 20 tons of deer burger winding up with agencies that will distribute it to needy North Carolina residents.“We go into local com-munities, try to get one or two meat processors who have been inspected by the (NC) Department of Agri-culture, who would be in-terested in our program,” said Dr. Liz Rutledge, a bi-ologist with the N.C. Wild-life Federation who directs HFTH. “Each processor is reimbursed $60 per deer, or $50 if the deer is already skinned, for processing it into 1- to 2-pound packages of ground venison.”Rutledge worked with 18 processors last season and said that she tries to expand the program every year, calling processors to see if any would be in-terested in joining the pro-gram, then trying to find a civic group or wildlife club in the area to help fund it.NCHFH advises hunters interested in donating deer for processing and distribu-tion contact the processor closest to you, determine exactly what condition it will require a carcass to be in for donation and when carcasses can be donated, and make arrangements to donate a deer after you’ve killed it and reported the kill appropriately.Processors in the pro-gram located in a wide area that serves a number of Piedmont counties include: • Alleghany Meat Cen-ter, 2440 Hwy 21 S, Sparta, 336-372-4343;• Albemarle Meat Pro-cessing, 1718 Blanche St., Albemarle;• Wildlife Processors LLC, 505 Clayton Carrik-er Rd., Ellerbe, 910-995-5308;• Craven Deer Process-ing, 1523 S.

Reese (14), Driver (nine), Bowman Blakley (five), Smith (four), Ayden Chilton (three) and Hall (two) had the Ellis points. Even though the Jaguars fell hard, first-year coach Alexis Hoppers was not discouraged afterward. “I feel like my team is coming together,” she said. “We’ve had a lot of adver-sity so far this season, but I think we are finally starting to see the bigger picture. I have kids who come in and work hard and do what I ask, and that is all a coach can ask for.”Ellis 50, WR 43Forrest was back from a trip for a baseball tour-nament and the Jaguars got back on track against visit-ing West Rowan on Nov. 8. Forrest’s 10 first-quar-ter points lifted Ellis to an 18-10 lead. The Bulldogs, though, were not easy prey. They got within 38-35 at the end of the third quarter. Ellis held on by getting points from Hall, Smith, Reese, Forrest and Driver in the fourth. Another factor down the stretch was Barefoot, who snatched four of his five rebounds in the closing minutes. Forrest finished with 22 points and three steals. Re-ese (nine), Smith (seven), Hall (five), Driver (three), Barefoot (two) and Weaver (two) also scored.

By Brian PittsEnterprise Record How about the improve-ment from Ellis’ wrestling team. Last year the Jaguars sputtered to 3-6 during a try-ing season that included two head coaches, with Charles Compton taking over after the season began. This season has been a different story, with Ellis surpassing last year’s win total during a 57-46 road win over South Davie on Nov. 6. It was the Jaguars’ fourth straight win, and it was their first win over South since January 2019. Ellis collected 10 pins from Taylor White, Slayt Means, Eli Walker, Jaxon Gay, Austin Eggers, Daniel Hennessey, Luke Hannah, Carter Hoots, Henry But- ler and Brodie Newman. Garrett Whitaker won a decision. South got seven pins from Anthony Ciancimi-no (76), KJ McClelland (106), Dreighton Lunner-man (132), Xander Proctor (152), Jason Voss (160), Caleb Edwards (170) and Brandon Paster (195). Elijah Tatum won a major decision at 98. Whitaker’s decision over South’s Zion Lyons was a 10-9 slobberknocker. Compton said it was one of those terrific matches where there really wasn’t a loser. “Garrett was down 7-5 going into third,” Compton said. “We chose down and gave up two near fall, mak-ing it a 9-5 deficit. Garrett has heart and never gives up. He kept moving and improving his position. He got the reversal and put Lyons on his back for three near fall. When the buzzer went off, both wrestlers just laid on the mat for a few seconds. What an absolute great performance from these guys. Anytime a mid-dle school match goes five minutes without a pin, it’s a great match.”Ayden Davis wasn’t among Ellis’ 13 victors - he lost a major decision to South’s Tatum - but no one made Compton prouder than this first-year wrestler. “With only 20 days of practice, Ayden is a sponge and wants to learn every-thing,” Compton said. “He’s going to be a problem for some kids.”While Ellis improved to 4-2 and stopped a six-match losing streak to South, it was another gut-wrenching loss for the 1-5 Tigers. It’s been one of those years where it feels like it’s just not meant to be. “I was missing Rico Ev-ans (the 90-pounder who was out sick),” coach Rus-sell Hilton said. “Colten Beck is really my 83, but I had to bump him to 90. If Rico is there, he probably pins at 90 and I keep Colten at 83, and who knows what happens at 83?” ND 59, Moor 42North Davie survived a tough test at Mooresville on Nov. 6. The Wildcats bolted to leads of 17-0 and 23-6, but the Red Devils came storm-ing back and took a 30-23 lead after the match at 132. North did not flinch. It buried the hosts with a 36-6 onslaught down the stretch. “They were good from 98-132, but we weathered the storm,” coach Jamey Holt said. North’s seven pinners were Dominic Ishuin (83), Charlie Mitchell (90), Gray-lan Anderson (106), Taylor Shenberger (138), Isaac O’Toole (145), Jaden Dil-lard (170) and Nathan Smith (220). Chris Gonzalez (76) won by technical fall. “Gonzalez had him on his back three different times,” Holt said. “Graylan was down and took the guy to his back for a huge pin. Jaden put the match away with his pin. He was very patient and let the match come to him; didn’t rush anything.” ND 78, Selma 27One day later, the Wild-cats didn’t have any trou- ble at home against Selma Burke. Gonzalez (76), Ishuin (83), Anderson (106), Pres-ton Young (113), Jacob Sides (120), Kolby Long (126), Jack Greer (145), O’Toole (152) and Pey-ton Jordan (170) recorded pins, and the Bears gifted four forfeits as North (5-1) pushed its winning streak to four. Gonzalez, Ishuin, O’Toole and Dillard are all 6-0 on the season. WR 56, Ellis 40Ellis’ winning streak was stopped at West Rowan on Nov. 8. Hennessey, Allen Mox-ley, Angelina Salas, Butler, Tristan Lash and Finn Sink produced pins, and Hoots and Aiden Mock won de-cisions. “We played well at times, but we must get better on defense and rebounding,” Gooch said. “Edarius and Wyatt both had a solid game.” Ellis Middle wrestling outlasts South William Martin goes up for an easy two. - Photos by Marnic Lewis Anderson Branham attempts a 3.

They put together a devas-tating 19-5 run in the third. At 39-17, West was cooked. “The girls answered the challenge we gave them and picked up the defen- sive intensity in the second quarter,” Jones said. “We made it clear the girls had to come out as fired up and intense on defense as they had right before the half, and they not only met the challenge, but played one of the better defensive quarters of our season. The size and speed of our opponent did not deter any of the girls.”Shore was terrific while achieving a double-double (19 points, 12 steals). She got help from Coleman (eight points, six steals, two assists), Smith (seven points, seven rebounds, three steals, two assists), Summers (six points, four rebounds, three steals), Ha-zlip (six points, nine re-bounds, three steals) and Sydney Ward (two points). “Olivia closed our and defensively discombobu-lated West Rowan’s best shooter,” Jones said. “Layla had her best game playing against their 6-foot center. She was a beast under the basket.”Notes: North Davie lost 24-8 to Mooresville and 38-5 to Selma Burke. The Wildcats are 1-5. ... South Davie lost 21-12 to Moores-ville. The Tigers are 4-3.

B6 - DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Nov. 16, 2023 Continued From Page B1some weight and he’s been lifting hard. He’s ready to make a run at 215.”In 2021-22, Ryder Strickland went 16-15 as an undersized freshman heavy-weight. He improved dra-matically as a sophomore, jumping to 32-14. Now Stanley sees a potential star. “Ryder’s main love is football,” Stanley said of the center on Davie’s offensive line. “Obviously we love that from our heavyweight. He’s been going to war (in the practice room). (Assis-tant coach) Caleb Spurlin and Ryder have been going at it. He’s going to be in shape this year more than ever because of the big bod-ies he’s got to scrap with.”At 103, the starting job is between two freshmen - Ste-phen Jacobs and Jack Bost. “Stephen is going to do well, but he’s a young kid, so it’s yet to be seen what he’s going to do,” Stanley said. “Jack might break in this year.”There’s been plen-ty of buzz about Davie’s 113-pounder for several years. Freshman Aidan Sze- Talent ... Continued From Page B1brother would come from Virginia to the club when he was in high school and train with us on weekends,” Stanley said. “So I got to know their family. I found out Caleb had moved to Advance, so I reached out to see if he wanted to jump in.”•••Caleb’s high school ca-reer at Galax was the stuff of legend. He did something that’s almost unheard-of these days - he not played three sports, he was unbe-lievable in all three. “My dad (Kevin, the head wrestling coach and a football assistant at Galax) coached us in wrestling and football, so we were just always around it,” Spurlin said. “Coming from a small-er area, one season just rolls into the next. That’s all we knew since we were little kids. I guess we didn’t know any better and we just did it and had a blast doing it.”As a football senior in 2015, Spurlin moved around from fullback to tight end to offensive line to safety to linebacker. He had 46 catches for 792 yards and 11 touchdowns. He had 128 solo tackles. He was named all-state on both sides of the ball (tight end/linebacker). He led the Maroon Tide to the 2015 Group 1A title, which remains the only foot-ball state title in Galax histo-ry. After starting 1-3, Galax pounded out 10 straight wins, including a 7-6 nail- Staff ... wczyk went 42-0 at South Davie in his middle school career, and he carries im-mense promise into his Da-vie debut. “He’s tough,” Stanley said. “He started (wrestling) a lot younger than most kids. Yeah, he’s a stud.”Stanley is drooling over Cayden Glass at 120. He’s a junior transfer from rival West Forsyth, but he has Davie roots. “His dad, Carson Glass, wrestled for Davie back in the day,” he said. “Cayden was a Davie guy. He wres-tled at North Davie under Timmy (Allen, the new West Forsyth coach who started his teaching/coaching career at North Davie). He’s a stud. He’s freakishly athletic. He’s crazy fast.”Davie will get a big boost at 126 from sophomore transfer Tiaj Thao, who was good enough as a Lake Norman freshman to post a 36-13 record and finish fifth in the state at 113. Stanley spoke glowingly of Luke Tehandon, a senior at 126/132. Senior Reid Nail is in the mix at those spots. Last year Tehandon went 18-9 at 113/120, and Nail went 30-16 at 120/126. “Luke is at 126 or 132 or wherever we need him,” he said. “I wish I had 10 kids like Luke. He’s always going to work, he loves the team and he’ll do whatever we need for us to win a state title. I’m looking at Reid at 132.”Sophomore Andy Davis, who went 18-8 as a fresh-man, is the probable starter at 138. “Andy can make (132), but I like him at 138,” Stanley said. Junior Brett Foster is a wild card at 144. He didn’t wrestle last year, but he appears ready to hit his un-tapped potential. His father Brad was a Davie wrestling standout from 1987-90. “Brett’s always been a freak athlete,” Stanley said. “We’ve got him back and he’s looking really good.”Stanley has good options at 150 and 157 in sopho-mores Elliott Gould and Ja-marius Pelote and freshman Javon Carter. Gould pro-duced 22 wins as a freshman at 145, and Pelote picked up 20 victories as a freshman at 152. “Elliott is another real-ly tough athlete,” he said. “Javon is just a freak. I was so impressed with our team already, and then we got these football kids in and I’m like: ‘Who is this? Who is that?’”Senior Jerred Alexander (33-17 at 170 as a junior) seems poised for a big year at 165. “Jerred is a tough, tough kid,” Stanley said. “He spent a lot of time wrestling in the offseason before football season. He’s ready to make a run.”The coach had plenty of praise for junior Christian Boswell (190) and Walker Matthews, a 220-pound freshman who will back up Godbey at 215 and Strick-land at heavyweight. Bo-swell went 13-9 at 182/195 as a sophomore. “Christian will probably be our 190,” he said. “I love that kid. He’s a worker. He’s been Testa’s partner for the last six months. He’s one of those that does not say a lot. He puts his head down and works. That’s one of our favorite kinds.“I love (Matthews). I’ve only been exposed to him the last two or three days (because of football), but the first day he was being a great partner for Godbey. He threw up the first day, but he would not back out of it. He was right back in grinding it out. He doesn’t have a crazy amount of height on him for that weight, but he can move; he’s athletic.”Add it all up and Stanley, who led Lake Norman to runner-up in the state 4-A duals in 2022, believes Da-vie’s ceiling is high. “We could literally fill two teams,” he said. “We have a bunch of guys that can break into the lineup everywhere. We will do a lot of shuffling around.”Women WrestlingThere’s a new era in 2023-24: Davie girls wres-tling. Some girls wrestled last year against females from other teams, but it was all individual stuff. This year Davie girls will com-pete as a dual team. There are 12 weight classes. Participation has been so strong that Davie will fill most every weight class. “A lot of them have never been exposed to wrestling at all,” Stanley said. “We’re going to be giving up three or four weights (with for-feits), but we have some pretty scrappy girls. At Lake Norman, we had a first-year girl that got second in the state. They can come out of nowhere and be an athlete and have an opportunity to compete pretty early.”When the boys face a CPC opponent, the girls will wrestle first, followed by the varsity boys. When the boys compete in weekend tournaments, the girls will do the same at the same site. “A lot of the individual tournaments that we go to will have varsity boys, varsity girls and JV boys,” Stanley said. “That makes it a little bit easier so we don’t have to split staff and go to two different places. “I’m making sure they’re having fun. I can’t expect too much from them when they don’t know technique yet. The girls are easier to coach. They don’t have egos and they’re not afraid to get beat up sometimes. The girls are fun. I really enjoy it.” biter over Riverheads in the 1A final. Spurlin was named Group 1A Player of the Year. “I just liked to play wher-ever I was gonna help us the best that week, and I was more than happy to do it,” Spurlin said. On the wrestling mat, Spurlin compiled a 161-7 career record and captured three state titles while com-peting at the 195 and 220 weight classes. Four of his seven defeats came as a freshman. Spurlin could play a little baseball, too. He hit (gulp) .644 as a senior, going 47 for 73 at the plate while playing third base, catcher and pitcher. “I liked football the best; that’s why I went and played it (at App),” Spurlin said. “Although it was not my best sport, it was the one I enjoyed the most. (My best sport was) probably base-ball, honestly.”Spurlin turned down walk-on offers from Vir-ginia Tech and UConn and walked on at App State. He did not appear in a game and redshirted in 2016. He made a memorable defensive play in 2018. It was the final regular-season game against Troy. Spurlin ripped the ball away from a receiver, then recovered the fumble. App dispatched Troy to clinch a berth in the inaugural Sun Belt championship game. A week later, Spurlin was awarded a scholarship. “I went from a walk-on with my family paying my way to being a captain and a starter,” Spurlin said. “That means a lot to me. That (scholarship) was one of the more emotional times in my life.”The 5-10, 260-pound-er was the Mountaineers’ defensive end in 2020 and 2021. He started his last 26 games. He helped them win 52 of 66 games from 2017-21. He was a part of four Sun Belt titles (2016-19) and five bowl wins (2016-20). He played both ways, lining up at H-back on offense. He ended his career with 6.5 sacks, 15 tackles for loss, four receiving touchdowns on four career catches and seven lead blocks on goal-line rushing TDs. Only one other player this century has produced six career sacks and four receiving TDs (Cincinnati’s Connor Barwin). Spurlin shares the App record for career games played (66) with two others. The last two years, Spurlin assisted his dad in wrestling at Galax, but now he can offer plenty of expertise to the War Eagles. That’s all possible because he landed a job as a Farm Bureau Insurance agent and moved to Advance in April. “He’d like to have me, but he knew I had to make a move, and he supported me the whole way,” Spurlin said of his father. “I’m impressed with how hard the kids are working. It makes your job as a coach a lot easier when you have kids who are bought into the program and the culture. It’s going to be cool to be associated with something so special.”•••Another boon to the Da-vie wrestling efforts is the addition of Nolan, who went 133-19 during his high school career and helped perennial powerhouse Park-ersburg capture state titles in 2007 and 2008. “(Parkersburg has) a lot of history since the 1950s,” Nolan said. “We have 21 state (wrestling) titles (which was the state record at one time). Now the rival school across the river, Parkersburg South, holds the record with 23 or 24.”Nolan was a freshman sensation in 2006-07, going 33-7 and winning the state at 103. “My older brother (Zach) was a junior my freshman year,” Nolan said. “He was the heavyweight and I was the 103, the lightest weight.”Jordon repeated as a sophomore, finishing 40-5 at 119. Making the moment even more special, Zach won it all that same year. “We are one of four sets of brothers (in West Virgin-ia) that have won a state title in the same year,” Jordon said. “It was heartbreaking my freshman year because I watched him fall short of his goal. His junior year was probably the hardest thing, but it made it really reward-ing for his senior year. To be able to stand beside him with his state title was pretty cool.”Jordon experienced an ill-fated junior year. He came down with mono, missed considerable time on the mat and failed to make weight at the regional. He’ll never forget the sink-ing feeling in his stomach when he realized he’d be on the sidelines throughout the state meet. That year he finished 16-5 at 130. “It kind of humbled me going to the state tourna-ment my junior year and watching a freshman that I had beaten earlier in the year (win the state),” Nolan said. “He’s a great friend now, but watching him take the state title that I felt like I should’ve had pushed me into my senior year.”What about Nolan’s bounce-back senior year? He reminded everyone of his talent, went 44-2 at 145 and picked up his third state title. “It was a redemption year,” he said. “I went into that season with a lot of doubters, a lot of people say-ing I was done and I wasn’t going to reach the potential that I had. I had an amazing state tournament and ended up All-American.”All 19 of Nolan’s career losses at Parkersburg came against out-of-state com-petition. “We wrestled in Ohio a lot,” he said. “My freshman year we were ranked in the top 25 in the country.”Nolan earned a schol-arship to Ohio University. He spent one year there as a redshirt. He transferred to West Liberty University and was a starter all four years. After graduating from West Liberty, he returned home and was an assistant wrestling coach at Parkers-burg for four years. He and his wife moved to Moores-ville in 2019. He assisted Stanley at Lake Norman for three years. Now he’s commuting to Davie every day to be a part of an amaz-ing staff. “(Stanley and I) have the same style of coaching,” Nolan said. “We’re both lunatics. We both eat, sleep and drink wrestling. That’s the kind of coach you want to be in the same corner with.”While Spurlin and Nolan combined for six state titles and 294 wins in high school, Stanley and Whitley were not exactly chopped liver. Stanley went 40-6 as a Davie senior and finished third in the state at 135. When he graduated in 2002, he ranked second in career wins with 133. (Patrick Lowery was first at the time with 150.) Stanley went on to wrestle at App before get-ting into coaching and start-ing his Combat business. Whitley wrestled at Da-vie from 2012-16. He was a starter all four years and racked up 81 wins as a ju-nior/senior. Reach your audience wherever they are: on desktops/laptops, tablets & smartphones.

November is National Family Caregivers Month in the United States. It is observed to call attention to the work of more than 50 million family caregivers across the country. The Family Caregiver Program in Davie County is housed at Davie Senior Services. Social worker, Kelly Sloan, meets with caregiv-ers and works with them to coordinate support if they have care recipients living at home in Davie County. Other eligibility guide-lines are that the person they are providing care of have Alzheimer’s disease or a related dementia, or be over the age of 60 and need assistance with two or more activities of daily living. While the grant program is not income based, priority is given to those with low-er economic and minority populations. The program is funded by block grant funds received from the Piedmont Regional Council Area Agency on Aging and is supplemented through Woodson grant funds and also the Davie Community Foundation and Endowment funds. One of the primary things that Family Caregiv-er Support is able to offer is respite. This is a unique word that simply means just taking a “break”. The program receives a limited amount funding to help pro-vide respite to loved ones in need, and works with local contracted agencies to make this happen. This allows family care-givers to take time to get their hair done, attend an event, take themselves to their own appointments, play golf, attend church or go on outings with friends while being assured that their care partner is safe. This is a valuable resource for caregivers in Davie County. The Elizabeth & Tab Williams Adult Day Center in Forsyth County also part-ners with our program to caregivers who would like to use adult daycare as an option. There are other opportu-nities for caregivers in Da-vie County, starting with the Family Caregiver Support Group that meets twice a month on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays at the Davie Se-nior Services’ Main Cam-pus. This is a time for care-givers to share their stories or hear from speakers on topics such as Alzheimer’s or Dementia. Many group members are caring for someone with Alzheimer’s and dementia but any care-giver is welcome to attend. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Family Care-giver Support Group met via Zoom each week to offer support through the isolated times. There are several caregivers that meet with this group to talk about transitions from home to other varieties of care such as memory care units, nurs-ing homes, or hospice. When asked about the Family Caregiver Support Group, five year-member, Roni Barney, said:“When you feel you are alone with your loved one, you feel like you’re the only one going through what you’re going through. The support group shows how everyone is going through the same. No matter how many caregiving classes you go through, it is not the same as the experience. The support group shares tips and related experiences including that relief and tak-ing a break is a good idea, especially when you are car-ing for a loved one 24/7.”Barney, a former mem-ber of the group, also in-troduced the idea of robotic pets. Her daughter, Janis My-ers, found the robotic pets from researching Alzhei-mer’s and pets because her grandmother loved animals. From here, they purchased both a cat and a dog for Bar-ney’s mother. They could never tell if she thought the animals were truly real. Myers, who worked at a vet’s office, asked to take the puppy in for a check-up. When she did, they found Cheetos in the puppy’s mouth. These pets are able to purr, bark, and be brushed or petted as if they are real. Thus, the robotic pet pro-gram in Davie County was born. Since 2020, Davie Coun-ty Senior Services’ Family Caregiver Program has been able to purchase robotic pets for care recipients with Alz-heimer’s and Dementia in Davie through grant funding and memorial donations.The Program offers more to aid caregivers in Davie County. It provides a limit-ed amount of incontinence supply vouchers where sup-plies can be delivered to the caregiver’s door or pur-chased at Foster Drug. When asking a partic-ipant about the supplies, they said: “Being able to get some help to purchase adult briefs and Ensure was very helpful for my par-ents. They are on a limited income and every little bit helps.” Supplies can range from bed pads and adult briefs to wipes and Ensure supplement drinks. Another program with-in the Family Caregiver Support Program is a GPS Tracker for those with Alz-heimer’s or Dementia who tend to wander. The GPS Trackers are thru Angel Sense, and allow the care-giver to see where their loved one is at all times as long as their loved one is wearing the tracking device. When asking a caregiver about the GPS tracker, they said: “I am thankful to have received the GPS tracking device for my Mom. She doesn’t use a phone any-more so keeping track of her that way wouldn’t work. I was able to attach the Angel Sense device to my Mom’s shoes and download the app on my smartphone. So now if Mom wants to walk to take a walk outside and is gone a longer than normal, I can use my app and see her exact location. I don’t ever worry about her getting lost.”As we all know, Alzhei-mer’s and Dementia can cause a variety of changes. To keep their brain stim-ulated, one of the options that theprogram offers is two choices of Activity Kits filled with activities that the caregiver and loved one can do together or the loved one can do on their own to give the caregiver respite time. When asking caregiv-ers about the activity kits, one shared: “The dementia specific activity kit that I received for my wife was so beneficial for us. There are so many neat things in the activity kit that we were able to do together. Her fa-vorite thing was the Aqua Paint Book. We put water in a cup and she used the brush on the blank paper and the pretty pictures appeared.” Another caregiver shared: “My Dad loved the puzzle that came in the ac-tivity kit. It had 13 pieces and they were all very large so he was able to do it al-most completely by him-self.”If you’re not sure that this program is for you or if you have questions and want to discuss your options or your particular unique caregiver situation, call to speak to Sloan to set up a home visit or a time to meet. There are also some other publicly funded respite op-tions and programs if this program isn’t for you. As one can see, Davie County Senior Services is here to support caregivers through their journey with their spouses, parents, and friends as needs arise. Call 336-753-6230 for more information.

MAIN STREET • MOCKSVILLE, NC (336) 751-2120 Fireplaces serve as pop-ular gathering spots for the holidays.Lighting a fire in the hearth can make any space more cozy, but doing so comes with some hazards. Consider these fireplace safety tips in advance of the holiday entertaining season.• Have the fireplace in-spected and swept profes-sionally. Prior to lighting the first fire of the season, ensure that a professional inspects the fireplace, chim-ney and venting to ensure everything is in good con-dition. The chimney also should be swept to remove excess debris and buildup that could pose a fire hazard.• Keep items away from the fireplace. Wrapping pa-per, rugs, clothing, maga-zines, and the like should be kept at least three feet away from the flames, suggests the American Red Cross. Also, make sure decorations are hung securely and a safe distance away from the fire.• Check your smoke alarms. Be sure the home has working smoke alarms on every level of the house. And keep a fire extinguisher close to the fireplace.• Never burn wrapping paper. Wrapping paper con-tains additives, like dyes, that make it burn extremely hot. Do not think of discard-ing wrapping paper by burn-ing it in the fireplace.• Keep the tree a safe distance away. Although it makes for the perfect Christ-mas photo backdrop, Christ-mas trees and fireplaces should not be near each oth-er. Also, the Christmas tree is not safe to burn in the fire-place after the season, as the wood has not been properly dried or seasoned.• Use a screen on the fire-place. Make sure the fire-place is properly covered by a screen to stop embers from escaping when the wood pops and sparks. The screen also can help keep decora-tions and other objects from falling into the fire.• Keep the fireplace clean. Promptly remove any ash and debris from the fire-place after it has cooled to improve indoor air quality and provide greater control over the next fire when it is burned, advises the Amer-ican Society of Home In-spectors.Fireplaces bring warmth and add ambiance to a home, particularly during the holidays. But safety must prevail when lighting fireplaces. TF23C569 Be safe when using fireplace B10 - DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Nov. 16, 2023 Continued From Page B8sympathy.

At one time, Wesley Chapel United Methodist Church had many Dulls filling its pews. Now there is usual-ly one Dull or maybe two. Many of the others have died, and, now, Russell, who seemed young to many of us, is gone too. Russell’s funeral was held in the Hay-worth-Miller Chapel with Rev. Randy Pardue, the pastor of Wesley Chapel, in charge of the service. Fol-lowing that service, Rus-sell was buried in Wesley Chapel cemetery beside his parents, Gene and DeWilla Dull Smith. The Dull fam-ily, of which Russell was a part, has been and still is an important part of the Wesley Chapel family and the Pino and Davie County commu-nity, and we do want them to know that we are all so sorry about the loss of Nor-man Russell Smith. www.ourdavie.com DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Nov. 16, 2023 - B11 Get it weekly! with a subscription to the Davie County Enterprise Record Only $32.03 in Davie County!
