Americans missing since that war.His first duty station was Pensacola, Fla. Parachute riggers was his career field training but he ended up learning survival training on water and land. While on his last summer of duty, he went to his favorite place to eat and hear music. It was there he met his now wife, Karen Trexler.Karen was celebrating her birthday. She asked her family to take her there based on an advertisement on television.They met, fell in love, got married and lived in Bobby’s homeplace in Cooleemee. He worked for Fiber for two years, GE for two years and then reenlisted in the Air Force.He liked being in the military, and reenlisting in the Navy would have put too many days in between seeing his wife, so he chose the Air Force.They headed to Spokane, Wash, Fairchild Base. Working on KC135 planes and B52 bombers kept him busy for two years and he then he requested a transfer to Alaska.He headed that way without his wife and son, Mark. He expected to be separated for six months, but he found a house in two weeks. Bobby worked there four years in Air Force active duty on KC135s and RC135s. A brand new guard unit was being started from scratch there, and they asked for volunteers. In 1998, after applying to the Air Force National Guard at the same base, he walked just down the street to start his new journey Please See Mission - Page 4 By Jim BuiceEnterprise Record BERMUDA RUN - Yes, the leaves are falling, and that means they must be picked up.Starting in the public com-ments and then being part of the manager’s report, leaves became the dominant topic in last week’s Bermuda Run Town Council meeting.First, Bobbie Thacker, who lives at 133 Bermuda Run Drive North, approached the podium to tell the council that her “biggest concern right now is our leaf removal.”Town Manager Andrew Meadwell had several items on his list to discuss, including picking up the leaves.“I appreciate Ms. Thacker’s comment, and I will definite-ly look into this to see what’s going on,” Meadwell said. “I guess it’s in the eye of the beholder. I’ve heard positive comments on leaf pickup. I’ve heard a few negative. I will say that we started about two weeks before our official pickup date and are extending to middle of January for leaf pickup.“This is the first year that we went to a more scheduled pickup. It’s not perfect, but overall we’re doing a good job and a lot better than previous years were. I think that’s what I’m looking at is seeing im-provement there.”Thacker asked if the con-tractor, Land Tek, is equipped to do the work and that she had only seen one small truck. Meadwell said that for the most part he has been pleased with the work done by the contractor, adding the compa-ny has two trucks and another truck with a trailer.

By Julie WhittakerFor the Enterprise During the holiday season, an unwelcomed condition may bother us. Anxiety can be a normal part of our lives, or it can become a problem that requires intervention to manage. It can occur alone or may coincide with several mental illnesses. And, I’d say everyone has felt bouts of anxiety at some time in their life. Emotionally, anxiety feels like dread, tense, nervous, jumpy, restless, irritable, fear of the worst. Physically, it can produce a pounding heart, sweating, tremors, head- President Washington’s Thanksgiving Proclamation I usually, as most know, try to address the upcoming holidays in my weekly missive, and this coming week is Thanksgiving. It is a noble and family-oriented holiday that, strangely, is often a challenge for me.Don’t misunderstand and think I am not grate-ful for all the good things life has either brought my way or helped me to achieve or for the health issues I have overcome. I am.This is something different.This is me trying to measure up to all the glossy advertisements for Thanksgiving dinner, the television commercials, the depictions in books, all showing or describing this massive gathering of family from far and wide who join around a heavily laden, huge dining table.There are stories shared, voices competing with voices, laughter, shouting, hugs, and it’s all on this big scale.I love it. I would love nothing more than to be a part of that scene.But I am an only child, so Thanksgivings were never big. If there were more than five of us – my parents, grandparents and me – it was a lot.So it has always felt like my Thanksgiving was the light version, and though there is always great food and good conversation, it feels like it doesn’t live up to the hype.I realize that sounds sad, that I judge my own family holiday against the expectations set up by Hollywood and advertising. But I don’t have other real life experiences to set my own against, all I have is what I have been shown elsewhere.Even having six children, because it is a blended fam-ily, it was still never a time when we were all gathered together at once. This is not a sympathy grab, because we still gather together and have a wonderful meal, and laugh and talk. But it’s not a day-long event, and it’s not over the top like so many I see and hear about.In addition, I try to practice gratitude every day, because I have so much to be thankful for, so much to appreciate, and I never want to lose sight of any of it. So having one day dedicated to giving thanks almost feels like cheating, like if I am really thankful one day in No- vember, I’m good for the rest of the year. And I think not being more grateful year round is part of why we are not as kind and as caring as a society as we once were.For those who have that Hallmark Thanksgiving, I wish you absolute joy. Indulge, have a grand time, but please take a moment to be grateful that you do have that.If there are others like me who don’t know quite what to make of this day, know you are not alone. We are a bit conditioned to think if we don’t measure up to the portrayal of what any holiday should be, we are failing, and that’s just not true.It can be so easy, just living our daily lives, to forget all the wonder and grace that comes our way every day. Whatever your plans are for the coming Thursday, I do hope it is a gathering of some of your favorite peo-ple, and however big or small your gathering is, I hope you know it is not necessary that it be perfect, just that there be love in the room.I am going to do my best to give myself some of that grace, by trying to leave the expectations on the sidelines, by not being somehow disappointed in myself that I don’t need a 25-pound turkey to feed the multitudes at my table. I am going to actively work to be content with my small family, to enjoy the traditional foods that will be more than we could ever eat, and to connect with whom-ever is at the table and not fret over anyone missing.This year, I’m going to work on letting Thanksgiving be a reminder to be grateful for what I have and where I am right now, and give myself permission to see my life as enough. And I hope you will give yourself that grace as well. The grace of knowing that what you have, who you are with (or not), where you are right this moment, is enough and is worthy of gratitude. There is always room for growth and improvement but it does not take away the value of the here and now.And know that as I reflect on all I am grateful for, included in that is each of you, who are, if in no other way connected to me, part of my circle because you take the time to read the thoughts I share. And for that, I am truly thankful. Try these tips to help relieve some holiday stress To the editor:By now, it should be obvious to everyone that Donald Trump is being persecuted, not prosecuted. He is under a gag order, so he is even denied freedom of speech. He has been charged under more than 90 questionable indict-ments.In his current trial, he is charged with obtaining busi-ness loans by inflating his net worth. This is not even a crime. The obviously overly dramatic New York Attorney General who has never charged anyone else with fraud over this, and who had a failed governor’s race and is looking for public exposure, is overlooking the fact that banks approved these loans and they have been paid back.During this sham trial, he has been badgered by yes and no questions that cannot be answered yes or no. The obviously compromised judge has threatened him that if he doesn’t give yes or no answers, he will be removed from the proceedings and they will answer the questions for him. How can public officials who are charged with enforcing the law get away with such obvious abuse of their offices?Some states are trying to remove him from the ballot even before the trials are completed. Now, the extremely hateful New York AG is going after his kids.It doesn’t matter if you like Trump or not, this is totally unacceptable in a free country.John LevisMocksville ache, fatigue and insomnia and stomach upset, frequent urination and diarrhea.Dr. Pamela Wiegartz offered tips for managing anxiety during the holiday season in a blog for Psychology Today. I’ve used it to summarize. You can read her entire tips at (https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/in-the-ag-eanxiety/201111/10-common-holiday-stresses-and-how-cope-them-0).For some, it is all the activities and noise that exacer-bate anxiety, and for some it is not having the opportunity or relationships to participate. If you are prone to anxiety the holidays can be quite overwhelming. These tips are still excellent ideas for coping during the 2023 holidays.• If you are trying to do everything, consider slowing down, planning and getting organized. This can reduce the trips and running around. Enlist help, spread out the re-sponsibilities.• If the cost stresses you, set a budget and avoid stray-ing. Think of ways to collaborate with others. Think about handmade items and homemade goodies. Or give the gift of your time and service.• Lower expectations, raised by commercials, social media and trying to keep up with the neighbors. • “This is the time of year when families feel compelled to come together in peaceful, loving harmony, whether they like it or not. If your family is truly abusive, unpleas-ant, or unhealthy for you, know that you have the choice to decline spending time with them. If like most families, they are just mildly irritating, boastful, opinionated, or hypercritical, use this opportunity to practice coping and communication skills. Pick your battles. Do you really want to argue about politics or ancient slights over turkey and stuffing with the whole family? Let it go for one day. Walk away and take a break if that works best. If you need to sort through personal and ideologic differences, find an-other time. Set the tone by doing your best to not criticize others and to accept your family for who they are.”• On the other side are folks who feel lonely. If you can’t be physically with your loved ones, try the next best thing, use video chats, or at least a phone call. Get yourself out to community events, and volunteer to help others.• Some people just hate crowds of people or traffic jams. The holidays have both. Try to cope with humor, kindness, and being mindful of others. Use the stuck time to call and chat with a friend, or just strike up a conversa-tion with someone nearby. Take a deep breath and look for something beautiful around you.• Remember it is okay to decline invitations and just say no to requests for your help. Friends and family will understand if you can’t make every social gathering or holiday event.• Late nights, alcohol and over-indulgence in holiday sweets, and heavy carbohydrates can leave us feeling tired. Pledge to have a fun but healthy holiday season. Watch your consumption and get your rest. Remember daily ex-posure to light and fresh air are easily accomplished with a walk or exercise routine. And be considerate of others, please don’t push unhealthy substances, especially to those who are coping with substance use disorders or their weight and trying very hard to maintain their wellbeing.• As the New Year approaches some think about last year’s resolution or the goals they set yet did not accom-plish. Take a little time to consider what happened and if the goals are really that important to you. Then, put the most energy into focusing on the future. What might you do differently in the coming year?• If you are feeling overwhelmed with persistent anx-iety, sadness, or an inability to cope, reach out for help. There is no shame in talking with a friend or mental health professional about how you feel. Resources are here: https://www.daviecountync.gov/511/Mental-Health-Re-sources.Make a mental health plan and look forward to feeling better in the New Year.Finally, express gratitude, be kind, share what you are able, and grant grace to those feeling stressed or having trouble maintaining their mental health. I hope this helps people manage their well-being through the holiday sea-son so everyone can enjoy this special time of the year and truly have Happy Holidays.

He was manager of two shops for 17 years. Bobby had several op-portunities to do TDY, tem-porary duty assignments.He went to a conference in Korea for a week which introduced him to mortuary affairs. An active duty guy talked about a mission he had been on. Bobby Trexler and wife Karen talk about their time in the military and their return to Cooleemee. - Photos by KC Smith Vietnamese locals were used to help sift through materials found at crash sites. Mission ... Bobby was interested in being on a mission but thought the chances of a National Guardsman be-ing accepted was low or impossible. But the work of the new National Guard unit put them on a higher prestige level and the next year Bobby was accepted on a mission.Mortuary affairs teams search for crash sites, sol- dier’s life support or any-thing that can be found to confirm where the demise of the soldier occurred.Finding a boot with a tiny bone in it can be crucial findings for families searching for love ones. Most sites are from 25-30 years ago so finding the actual site wasn’t easy. Civilians were supersti-tious and they would bury the soldiers. So often the villagers would lead them to the site. These missions em-ploy villagers to help dig trenches or sift through the dirt looking for remains. These missions last about 30 days each. The containers that were filled with assortment of foods were packed by each person of the mission to last them 30 days. Thanksgiving was cel-ebrated on one mission by collecting foods from the containers. Cookies were smashed up for a crust and chocolate and vanilla pud-dings made a pie.The mission group tried their best to dig a hole for the turkey to be roasted but the village people said they were doing it all wrong. Two holes were dug, one for the foil wrapped turkey and the fire in the other hole. The tunnel connected the two holes and thus a nice cooked turkey was enjoyed by all. Buckets of water con-tainers were lined up for each member to take a shower by pouring water on top of themselves. One pot took care of toilet needs. Camping in tents kept their bodies dry in case of rain and thankfully they had cots instead of the ground for a bed.Bobby firmly says: “These missions were the best memories I have of military career. It was very rewarding.”Not many people scurry to be part of these missions. The conditions can be quite challenging like being in Vietnam during a monsoon in the hot summer with mosquitos. Ever dig of the shovel and every shake of the sifte provde time and again it was worth every second.Thank you Bobby for your service and for your dedication to our county and the soldiers whom never returned home.Contact me at www.cool-eemeenews@gmail.com or 336.250.1133. I would love to hear from you. Trexler worked on the KCT35 aircraft. Trexler’s mission team built their own shower out of buckets. *Annual Percentage Yield (APY) eective as of the publication date.

The program not only benefits students, but pro-vides employees to local businesses.The 2022 graduate of Davie County High School (DCHS) initially had plans to attend a four-year col-lege but was persuaded by some of his peers and el-ders to pursue a trade free of charge through ID. ID is a place-based last-dollar scholarship, meaning students must live in and attend school in Da-vie. All eligible high school graduates, regardless of fi-nancial need or academic ability, can continue their education and training.Martinez opted for the one-year HVACR certi-fication at Davidson-Da-vie Community College (DDCC). The program ex-posed him to trade options, preparing him for a career working with heating, ven-tilation, air conditioning, or refrigeration systems. He also obtained his EPA 608 Technician certification, allowing him to handle re-frigerants.Pro Refrigeration’s fa-cility at Farmington Road and I-40 designs and man-ufactures heat exchangers and chiller systems tailored to the needs of its clients.Martinez was impressed by how immersive the DDCC HVCAR program was. "The school is giving you all the resources. Our teacher would bring in companies to the class-room... there are so many opportunities they showed us even in just the heating and air world, and in refrig-eration,” he said.He appreciated the pro-gram's emphasis on indus-trial and residential per-spectives, giving students an understanding of poten-tial career paths.Jay Kimura, the manu-facturing manager at Pro Refrigeration, is anoth-er avid supporter of the ID and DDCC’s HVCAR program. To Kimura, Mar-tinez’s ambition and the practical skills he gained from DDCC made him a standout candidate. "During the interview process, Martinez was con-fident and concise and was able to describe the things he’d done in the classroom, what he was learning, and what his goals were going forward. He was able to give me a rundown of what his vision was. It was a very easy hire."Beginning with his hire in June 2023, Martinez’s Jay Kimura watches Max Martinez check the electrical connections of a chiller system at Pro Refrigeration. - Photos by Meredith Ratledge journey within the compa-ny has been swift. Pro Re-frigeration manufactures industrial chiller systems for the food and beverage industry. Each product is custom-built in-house based on the needs of the client.Martinez’s tasks vary daily, from building coils and mounting metal frames to ensuring the functional-ity of refrigeration units in the testing area. His one-year goal was to start assisting with service calls in the field, which he achieved in three months. His three-year goal is to be able to work as a service technician in the field inde-pendently. At year five, he hopes to be a full refriger-ation technician, capable of meeting any challenge. "I think the biggest thing with Martinez’s growth is his want and work eth-ic,” Kimura said. “He hasn’t been afraid to jump into some of the positions we’ve asked him to fill, which makes a world of difference. He’s a true team player."Martinez first heard about ID while in middle school. Teachers contin-ued encouraging students to consider the program throughout his time at DCHS. The program's im-pact became apparent at the end of high school."When I was in high school, I didn’t know what I was going to do. And this was like a light in the dark," said Martinez. He was particularly mo-tivated by the prospect of not having to stress about financial aid. Thanks to ID, his classes at DDCC and the Section 608 certifica-tion exam were completely free. A pipeline of talent“For me, I think it’s just exciting to see the students be involved in trades be-cause the trades are a dying breed,” Kimura said. “And the trades will always help students through life, no matter what.”The hands-on expe-rience and exposure to fields help students make informed decisions about their future careers, ensur-ing a well-prepared work- force and pipeline of young talent for local businesses.“If you say in the class-room, you can pursue CNC programming, for example, kids are going to think, ‘well, what’s CNC programming?’ But when you get to see the actual laser running and see metal get cut, it’s an eye-opener, Kimura said.“The big thing with manufacturing is, you need folks. You need employees, and with the younger gen-eration being introduced to what jobs there are, the different factories, the dif-ferent employment oppor-tunities, it’s key. It’s not just Pro Refrigeration. This program helps build the interest of the students as they’re making those career decisions.” For Martinez, the answer for anyone interested in ID is clear. “Do it. It’s a great program. If you’re in high school and you don’t know what you’re going to do with your life, do ID; go to DDCC for a couple of years and get a trade or associate degree. Free school? You can’t beat that.”Kimura agreed that ID is an excellent opportunity for students, whether they are interested in a trade certifi-cation, associate degree, or want to get a jumpstart on a four-year degree without incurring debt. “If their heart is in it, they’re going to succeed. They will make a very good living at what they do and a life for themselves. To have a program that pays for your schooling is second to none.”IGNITE DAVIE is fund-ed by the community. To help make it sustainable, the Davie Community Foundation is helping to raise the final $250,000 of the $3 million endowment goal. Once achieved, the endowment will provide annual earnings to cover program costs indefinitely. To add support, vis-it DavieFoundation.org/donate and select IGNITE DAVIE from the dropdown list.

7The Literary Corner: Renegade Writers Guild Follow the TreesBy Julie Terry CartnerMom had taken Luke and his baby brother, Sam, to the hideout many times, always changing her route enough to keep a permanent trail from forming. But whatever way they went, there were landmarks to help guide them. And every time they went, she pointed out the landmarks, some indicating the correct path, and others, equally subtle, pointing out the missteps, the trails that led to other places. And every time, every single time, she made Luke and Sam repeat the names of the landmarks to her, until Luke, at least, had them memorized. Sam was learning, but he was only six. At eight, Luke considered himself Sam’s protec-tor.Luke was old enough to understand the necessity of this escape route, whereas Sam still saw their treks as grand adventures. Mom had taught them, as soon as they were old enough, how to move through the forest with little to no sound, and how to keep from disturbing the earth so as not to leave a discernable path. She’d made it fun, an elevated game of hide-and-go-seek, while also letting them know how essential mastery was. They knew the most important knowledge was memorizing the landmarks, the paths and messages essential to their safety.Some landmarks were rocks and other natural land-forms, like the gully between their land and the national forest, but most were trees. A quarter Cherokee, Mom had learned the lore from her parents as well as her grandpar-ents. For generations, Native Americans had used trees to indicate directions in the woods. They would take saplings, still limber in their youth, and bend them to the earth in the direction they wanted to indicate. These trees might indicate a trail towards water, or the safest path to ford a river. Equally, the tree might mark a location for harvesting herbs, medicinal plants, or other edible vegetation.Regardless of the reason, these trees created a trail as clear to an observant person as markers hammered into the bark as many trails are depicted today. And Mom knew them all, those from generations ago, and those she had created herself, and she was determined that her boys would know them also, both how to find them and how to make them. She knew one day they would have to flee, most likely when her ex-husband was released on parole. He’d vowed to make her pay, and she had no doubt he would try.So, when Luke and Sam got home from school and saw the three rocks beside the mailbox, they knew not to go in the house. Instead, they detoured to their treehouse, where they left their schoolbags and strapped on their backpacks, already loaded with essentials, and headed out.The first marker was clear. Using vines, mom had lashed down a single branch of the tree they had just climbed. “Go west,” it told them. That’s all the boys needed. Walk-ing stealthily, they headed deeper into the trees, slipping soundlessly through the trees. Rock, rock, beech tree, gul-ly, maple… Luke repeated silently to himself. He knew the path, but he felt more in control when he let the words flow through his brain in an endless loop.The boys continued silently but skillfully through the woods. Two hours later, they reached their destination, a natural cave Mom and they had filled with provisions and hidden through years of cultivating evergreens and vines. Not knowing what they would find, the two boys entered the cave soundlessly, Luke taking point, always the big brother protecting his sibling. Heart thundering in his ears, Luke peered through the last remaining branches. There sat Mom, a crackling fire in front of her, and a big smile on her face. “Well done, boys,” she told them, and Happy Thanks-giving,” indicating the bounty of food she had prepared. “I bet you’re hungry.”Smiling in relief, the boys scampered the last few steps and eagerly began eating. Whew, Luke thought, thank goodness this had only been a test. Next time might be a different story. Happy Thanksgiving, indeed.If you’re interested in information about tree bending as a Native American legacy, there are many articles on this subject. I read the following:Moss, Laura. “Trail Trees are a Living Native American Legacy.” Treehugger. 17 June 2019.. NostalgiaBy Gaye HootsWhen thinking about our childhoods, most of us see them through rose-colored glasses. It was a time when we felt safe and were unaware of our parents' responsibilities. I believed my father and grandfather could and would pro-tect me from anything, and I felt completely safe. I think of it as a safer, simpler time.Today, we hear all the worst news from all over the world and are acutely aware of all the threats to our fam-ilies and friends' safety. Innocence is gone, and we don’t trust our children out of our sight. As children, we played freely and without fear.On close examination, my childhood was completely protected. Yet, I lived within walking distance of a family with multiple children and an alcoholic father who abused his spouse and children. I overheard stories about them be-fore I was six years old.When I was 12 years old, a classmate shot and killed his mother. I believe it was an accident, as he had heard his alcoholic mother making plans to leave with men who brought her alcohol. He hid in the barn and tried to stop her from going with the men. He knew the pain this caused his family and thought he could stop her from leaving. The sto-ry was that she grabbed the barrel of the shotgun, causing it to discharge.A man who worked for my dad had been murdered and left to die in the graveyard. It was investigated, but no one was charged. Before we were twelve years old, both Faye and I had been approached by sexual predators. We knew enough never to be alone with them again. When I was six, I missed the bus and started walking the three miles to school. A stranger picked me up and took me to school. He was related to Jim Peebles, who worked for my dad, and when he told Jim, Jim told my dad, and I got the stranger-danger talk.When we were young adults, my brother volunteered for the Marines and served in Vietnam. He never shared those experiences, only telling us he was not involved in the really bad stuff. While working, both Faye and I faced situations where a loaded gun was put in our faces, and we were threatened. She was alone with a customer who feared her power would be cut off. I was driving a busload of children and had a father put a shotgun through the bus window when I stopped to let his son off. While I was ex-plaining to the father that I had not discriminated against his son, some boys slipped out the emergency door to try to save me. I was able to talk the man down.Neither Faye nor I considered having the person arrest-ed. They were both distraught parents trying to look after their families and did not need the additional frustration, expense, and humiliation of their families. Still, I think of my childhood as golden. Most adults could be trusted, and all my family earned that trust. Our teachers and mentors could be trusted. We learned to be-come independent and rely on ourselves. It becomes more difficult with each generation, and I understand why par-ents keep their children so close and have cameras in their homes.

Another panelist shared how doing in-person inter-views with the finalists has improved the quality of the applications and increased the liklihood of implemen-tation. In addition, the pan-elists are able to offer feed-back and encouragement to those who are not selected to get the award, so a stu-dent may refine their proj-ect and re-submit in anoth-er quarter. One of the reasons there were so many quality ap-plications is because of a teacher at William Ellis Middle School. Christie Ruff, the Junior Civitan ad-visor, asked the students to think of a project or an idea that would spread respect in Davie County. The re-sult was three applications and now the whole club is considering a group respect project.Of these three applica-tions, one was a joint proj-ect selected to win $1,000 and and the applicants were named as Ambassa-dors of Respect.Josiah Warren and Reece Harris teamed to collect supplies for Family Promise of Davie County (FPDC), which serves fam-ilies with minor children that are at risk of or experi-encing homelessness. FPDC addresses tfamily homelessness holistical- ly, providing stabilization programs. Josiah and his family received services from FPDC and he wanted to give back to the organi-zation that had helped and continues to assist his fam-ily. Reece was so inspired by Josiah’s story and want-ed to team up with him. They contacted Lisa Reyn-olds, the executive director of FP, and she was excited they wanted to help. They have collected gift cards, cash and essential items like paper towels and toilet paper. If you would like to do-nate to FPDC, visit www.familypromisedc.org/do-nate. “One of the best parts of my job is the relationships built with the families. It’s always a full circle mo-ment when parents come back and volunteer or do-nate supplies and it’s even more special when it’s kids doing it,” Reynolds said. Macey Smith is an exemplary Ambassador of Respect. She has been involved with DRI for al-most four years, when as a freshman she won for her creative idea of buying vol-leyball equipment for Da-vie County Rec and Parks. Volleyball has played such a big part in her life that she wanted others to bene-fit from this team sport. Since then, Macey has been involved with DRI’s social media and for a little over a year she has served as a volunteer panelist and has taken this position seri-ously. Macey was a repre-sentative at the All Ameri-ca presentation in Denver. She is continuing her journey of demonstrating and spreading respect with her latest project: renovat-ing the courtyard at the county courthouse, which is empty and drab. After Macey and team are finished, newlyweds who have a civil ceremo-ny will have a spot to cel-ebrate and take photos. Some of her plans include flower boxes and a sitting area with a lattice arch. Macey will present this idea to the Davie County Board of Commissioners at a monthly meeting, but so far she has gotten positive responses from the city and the county. As Lisa Reynolds from Family Promise so beau-tifully stated: “Seeing our young people give back to their community is amaz-ing and I cannot wait to see all they accomplish in life.” Reynolds, Ruff, pan-elists: Sonja Ivey and Charles Willard attended the celebration at Mocks-ville Town Hall where Mayor Will Marklin hand-ed out the $1,000 checks Lisa Reynolds (left) and Christie Ruff (right) with Davie’s newest Ambassadors of Re- spect, Josiah Warren and Reece Harris.

Item that is sometimes Miss-printed? Look for the answer in next week’s paper. Created by Timothy E. Parker November 27, 2023 The (K) Clues Are for Kids Remote location? 6-D) SETTEE Previous riddle answer: Leaves ... discussions have already been happening.“Look at the trees,” he said. “We still have a lot of leaves on some of them. We know there is a lot of de-mand in the coming weeks as well, and we have the ability to be flexible.” Mayor Rick Cross said if the town can either extend hours during these peak periods or go to Saturday, it might make sense as the leaves are going “to stop at some point.”Mayor-Elect Mike Bran-non said he has heard two issues – the general cadence of the leaf pickup, which he said is going to be a chal-lenge no matter wherever it is, “but what I heard was not the cadence but the skipping. I think we need to make sure no one gets skipped.“I doubt there is a munic-ipality anywhere in this area that doesn’t have a set of residents concerned about their leaves not getting picked up. It’s the nature of the beast this time of year, and it’s peaks and valleys, and they’re coming down by the hour, so it’s awfully hard to stay on top of it.”Council member Curtis Capps capped off the con-versation with this: “Plus the trees are getting bigger every year.”• The council also heard from Meadwell in the man-ager’s report regarding the sidewalks and street main-tenance program, which has a five-year assessment plan in place with $50,000 set aside each year for mainte-nance, needing additional analysis with a new council coming in to address a long-term approach with a more significant financial com-mitment.Mayor Rick Cross said that he, Meadwell and Bran-non have had conversations about the matter and were planning to meet with the Kinderton Village Home-owners Association to talk in more detail.“The costs can stay the same, but the trees continue to get larger and push up the sidewalks at at a more rapid pace and a more significant level, and something’s got to give,” Cross said. “So rather than try to continue to do the same thing over the next couple of years and really getting all the stake-holders in and having that discussion will be produc-tive – and then applying some of the expertise from the engineering folks.”• Meadwell also pro-vided an update on the in-terconnection with the Blue Heron Trail and the Bert’s Way Pedestrian Bridge. “I’ve had some very positive conversations with those property owners,” he said. “I think we have a very cost-effective plan to get that open. I talked with our surveyors, and they’re going to be starting work on that to kind of lay that out as well as some contractors to give us some ideas on cost. So I think we’re on our way to having a very well laid-out plan to get that intercon-nection to the pedestrian bridge as well as across I-40 there on ideas on how we can work together.“I think really the mes-sage is that people are walk-ing the trail, they’re going through the tunnel, they’re walking through Kinderton through the back side where RISE is, down through Twins Way and coming back around. It’s a natural loop. People are getting ac-customed to it. So we need to take advantage of that and provide those necessary pathways.”Cross then interjected, “To be clear, we’re talking about a low-cost, high-im-pact solution that is relative-ly temporary in nature to allow for anything that the property owners are saying, if we’re going to develop that, then we will replace that with a permanent path.”In other highlights from last Tuesday night’s meet-ing, the council:• Called for a public hearing in the Jan. 9, 2024, meeting on a text amend-ment to reduce the maxi-mum building height to 45 feet for multifamily, re-move multifamily from the General Business Zoning District, amend a table to include residential, town-house as a permitted use with conditions and remov-ing Open Space Residen-tial and General Business. The Planning Board voted unanimously in its October meeting to approve the re-quest with changes.• Approved a resolution to direct the town clerk to investigate a petition for a contiguous and a noncontig-uous annexation of property described as Davie County tax parcels D70000021101, D70000021102 and D700000201 and refer-enced as the “Potts Prop-erty” and also set a public hearing for Jan. 9.

Making them feel secure without being paranoid is a challenge.We never needed shooter drills at school, although our fathers had loaded guns in a rack in their trucks; it was not a threat. I remember that we had tornado drills, but I nev-er feared having a tornado and would like to believe our children learn to take these drills in stride, but if I had seen every day on the news that a tornado had occurred and the graphic views of that destruction, I might have feared them. RockettesBy Marie CraigI watched a fun movie tonight that was based in 1958 about a young woman who is engaged to a man just be-cause the two rich families wanted to merge. She has tak-en dance lessons all her life and is intrigued by an adver-tisement about auditioning for the Rockettes. She goes to New York City and pretends to buy a wedding dress but instead she qualifies to join the dance group. Her aunt lives near there and covers for her extended visit. It’s an interesting story that shows her rehearsals, the strict life-style, and the performances. The clothes, cars, and scen-ery were very well done to convince the viewer that it re-ally was 1958.After the movie was over, I thought of several mem-ories jogged by the Rockettes. My next door neighbor was a salesman who traveled to New York City often. He Renegade ... Larry Redmon WilliardMr. Larry Redmon Williard, 89, passed away Nov.17, 2023.

It didn’t happen until I was a senior in college and went to New York with a group of students on spring break. We did a lot of amazing things -- Empire State Building, Stat-ue of Liberty, the United Nations building, TV show The Price is Right, and we saw the Rockettes. What a great thrill to finally enjoy seeing the sites that I’d heard de-scribed years before. The other memory that came to mind happened in 1962. My mother and I watched the Miss America pageant main-ly because Maria Fletcher, Miss Asheville, fifteen miles away from us, was vying for Miss America. Her parents had a dance school in Asheville, and she had done well with that skill, going to New York City and dancing with the Rockettes. We couldn’t believe that she actually won. A few people thought that was inappropriate for a Miss America. But most of the Western North Carolina resi-dents were so excited about this hometown girl. There was a big parade in Asheville, welcoming her back home. If I looked hard enough, I could probably find some faded color slides I took of her on the big parade float. In researching Maria and the exact year, I found a link to a YouTube video of the old black and white TV show where she was crowned Miss America. She danced and sang for the talent portion of the competition. It was fun to see this again. Bob Barker sang the Miss America song to her. I’ve always marveled at how one memory can trig-ger another one. This show brought back a lot of special memories through the years. Thanksgiving is a day for serving others around our ta-bles. Now if you’re like me, you hanker for your favorite holiday foods like traditional turkey with dressing and all the savory sides. Having and keeping tradition are import-ant aspects of creating memories with your family. Life is made up of memorable moments – and it’s never too late to create these moments. They are some of the hallmarks of life.The holiday is also a good time to throw a new dish into the mix, but make sure to keep the old. In preparation, I'm search-ing through vintage recipe col-lections on the hunt for a new berry recipe. Cranberries add such a delightful burst of sweet-ness to any savory meal. But it's not so much the hol-iday meals that inspired today’s column. It was words I read on the subject of gratitude. My fa-vorite days in life are those that fill my soul with beauty and eyes with tears – but I’m not talking about an awe-inspiring, beauti-fully presented meal. I'm referring to life-changing, inspi-rational words. Words of gratitude. The week is about saying, “Thank you.” Words of thanks are imperative to the joy found in our daily lives. To live a life of gratitude, begin by giving back – and see what the Lord gives back to you. When God breathed into our Bless Your Spoon By Stephanie Williams Dean Ambrosia, Chocolate Pie, Cranberry Cobbler and more recipes www.ourdavie.com Tradition important at ThanksgivingLarry Wayne BurnettMr. Larry Wayne Burnett, 76, of Marklin Avenue, Mocksville, died Saturday, Nov. 18, 2023 at Davie Nurs-ing & Rehabilitation Center. He was born on June 28, 1947 in Surry County to the late Rex Claude Burnett and Myrtle Moz-zelle Shore Burnett.Larry was recently saved and was excited to be learning about the Bible and sharing his faith with others. He was a loving person who is remembered for speaking the truth. He was very witty and was always cracking jokes. Larry was an avid car col-lector and race car driver and en-joyed car shows, NASCAR, and pro wrestling. Survivors include: his wife of 29 years, Minnie Rob-bins Burnett; 2 children, Chantele McDermott (Jonathan) of Florida and Larry Burnett of Wilmington; 3 stepchil-dren, Tabatha Siegrist (Andy) of Clemmons, Samuel Waller (Debra) of Sophia, and Josh Waller of Morganton; 3 grandchildren, Madison McDermott, Skyla Burnett, and Carter Burnett; 7 step-grandchildren; 5 great-grandchil-dren; and his fur baby, Ambro.A funeral service was conducted at 2 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 21 at Bear Creek Baptist Church with Rev. Greg McEwen officiating. Interment followed in Rose Ceme-tery. The family received friends one hour prior to the ser-vice at the church. Memorials may be considered for: Bear Creek Baptist, 492 Bear Creek Church Road, Mocksville, NC 27028.Online condolences: www.eatonfuneralservice.com. nostrils, He intended us to be kind, giving, and compas-sionate – while maintaining an attitude of thanks giving. The holiday is truly not about turkey and dressing and everything that goes with it. The day’s about what’s in our hearts. It’s about all that we receive and remembering to say thank you to God for giving us life while giving Him all the glory. I’d like to thank my readers for all the good work you do as a service to help other people. As people, we are dif-ferent and can’t be just alike – but what we can “do” alike is serve other people. So keep helping others and giving back. And hang on to your attitudes of gratitude. God tells us in Matthew 20: 26-27, “The greatest one among you will live as the one who is called to serve oth-ers because the greatest honor and authority is reserved for the one with the heart of a servant.”These inspiring words came from the devotional, I Hear His Whisper for Women. “What a beautiful act of worship you offer me as you serve those around you with a heart of love. Even when others do not see what you do for them, I see it all. Your service does not go unnoticed. I am so very proud of your servant heart that lays itself down in love, time and time again. I honor your service, and I will reward every act of kindness. I keep record of them all. Know that I am so very pleased and proud of you. You are great in my kingdom. Your acts of kindness are widely known in the heavens.”Thank you for the many ways you serve your family, your friends, and our community. HOW TO FILLET A TURKEYBegin with an extremely sharp 10-inch knife. On a cut-ting board, remove leg and thigh in one piece by pulling leg away from bird and slicing through the joint. Separate leg and thigh by cutting through the connecting joint. Re-move bones and slice meat, if desired. Remove wings by pulling them away from body and cutting through joint closest to the breast. Remove breast in two sections. Make vertical cut along entire length of breastbone about 1-inch deep until you reach the bone. Place fingers in the slit and peel meat away by pulling with your hand while slicing with knife. To slice breast on a cutting board, begin with the smaller end and make thin diagonal slices at a 45-de-gree angle. Arrange light and dark meat on a platter and garnish with parsley.

She has moved just up the street to the building that formerly housed the Mocksville Police Department. The new location is at 278 N. Main Street, right beside the town clock and water fountain.

He does like the locals have been doing for years...he heads to Miller’s Restaurant. They have one of the best breakfasts around and if it is lunch time Santa likes to dig into one of those tasty footlong hotdogs or even the pimento cheese burger. He hears tell that Miller’s just might be the first place to ever serve that particular burger. On a cold day Santa enjoys their tasty chicken stew too. Don’t let a little road construction stop you from driving on down to Miller’s. Those flowing locks and that luxurious beard don’t look that way naturally. Yes, it takes a lot of work to keep Santa looking his best and the ladies at Main Street Styles in Mocksville do an excellent job. Even Mrs. Claus approves.

They have two convenient locations...one in Advance and the other in Mocksville (near the soon to be opened “Roundabout”).

With a good report on his health...and a warning to lay off those Christmas cookies...Santa was gone quick as a wink to his next stop. Family Care Center of Mocksville Kaleah Hendren, MSN, FNP-C Attorney Ryan B. Addison and Santa discuss laws on trespassing and breaking and entering prior to Santa’s big night. Addison shares space with Ella Rose Boutique at 157 North Main St. in Downtown Mocksville. After checking some precedents Santa should be OK to enter homes with gifts since children send him a letter with their wish list and leave him cookies, milk, and a note on Christmas Eve, both of which could be considered an invitation to enter. In addition to assisting Santa with legal matters Addison’s office also provides legal services to the public in General Law Practice, Family, Criminal, Traffic Tickets, Wills, Estates, etc. What does that expression mean Santa? It’s just a little check-up.

Not only have the War Eagles lived up to it, they have exceeded it. They went 5-0 in the Bud-dy Lowery Duals on Nov. 18. They were vastly superior in the championship match against Northwest Guilford, the state duals runner-up in 2022 and the state duals 4-A champion in 2023. They’re 7-0 on the young season while destroying opponents by an aggregate score of 462-89. They’re off to their best start in six years; the 2017-18 squad opened 20-0. Even for a program with a storied history like Davie’s, it’s difficult to overstate how exceptional the War Eagles have been under new head coach Josh Stanley. Davie 60, South Stanly 18Davie dropped eight pins on the Rebel Bulls in the first match of the day. Cayden Glass, Tiaj Thao, Andy Davis, Brett Foster, Elliott Gould, Christian Bo-swell, Brysen Godbey and Ryder Strickland got the pins, while Hunter Testa won by injury default. Davie 69, ND 11Stephen Jacobs, Thao, Reid Nail, Davis, Foster, Jamarius Pelote, Gould, Tes-ta, Boswell and Strickland enjoyed pins as Davie made quick work of North Da-vidson. Godbey survived a 10-8 decision as the War Ea-gles seized 12 of 14 weight classes. Davie 66, W. Iredell 12The next battered vic- By Brian PittsDavie Enterprise Record With a fired-up home crowd on hand, the War Eagles looked spectacular in Josh Stanley’s debut as Davie’s wrestling coach on Nov. 14. It was total domination as Davie defeated Bunker Hill 72-6 and North Iredell 69-8. “It was pretty good,” Stanley said. “The kids were pumped and knew every-body was coming out (to watch).”Against Bunker Hill, Da-vie posted nine pins. Luke Tehandon (120), Tiaj Thao (126), Rid Nail (132), Andy Davis (138), Brett Foster (144), Jamarius Pelote (157), Jaden Conner (165), Hunter Testa (175) and Ryder Strick-land (285) did the honors. The Bears handed forfeits to Jack Bost (106), Aidan Szewczyk (113) and Brysen Godbey (215). The next match against N. Iredell was basically the same. Tehandon (120), Nail (132), Davis (138), Foster (144), Elliott Gould (157), Testa (175), Godbey (215) and Strickland (285) got pins, and Bost (106) won a decision. The Raiders gave forfeits to Cayden Glass (126), Christian Boswell (190) and Szewczyk (113). When it comes to fast starts, Stanley couldn’t have drawn this one up any better. And just wait until the entire puzzle comes together. Davie is far from peak form. “Our football guys aren’t all the way there yet, but they’re trying to get back in (wrestling) shape,” Stanley said. “We had them running sprints in the back hall be-tween matches just to kind of fast-track that. We have a few guys that didn’t break into the lineup and didn’t get matches like they want to. So we’ve still got a little bit to show.”And then: “We have so many options with the lineup that we’re trying to figure out where we can maximize it the most as a dual, and then keep everybody where they can produce the most at the end individually, so we’re balancing there.”•••The girls’ era kicked off in a big way. Jackie Clare prevailed in overtime and Ar-wyn Brungardt rocked a pin Davie topples defending state champs tim was West Iredell. Aidan Szewczyk, Jerred Alexander, Strickland and Jacobs got pins; Pelote and Gould took decisions; and the Warriors handed over six forfeits. Davie 71, Carson 12It was a pin parade as Glass, Thao, Davis, Foster, Pelote, Jaden Conner, Testa, Boswell, Godbey, Jacobs and Szewczyk stuck Cougars to their backs. Davie 55, NWG 21The Vikings are the de-fending 4-A champions, but they barely put up a fight against the raging War Ea-gles, who grabbed 10 of 14 matches on the way to their closest victory of the year. “I’m pretty close to a lot of those guys (on North-west’s team),” Stanley said. “They’ve got some young guys, but it’s still really good for our guys to beat some-body like that and believe it a little bit more.”The romp featured sev-en pins from Thao, Foster, Alexander, Boswell, Strick-land, Jacobs and Szewczyk. Davis got a major decision. Glass was a clear winner in a 10-4 decision. Five War Eagles who have wrestled more than a couple matches are unbeaten, including Strickland (7-0 at 285), Testa (7-0 at 175), Foster (7-0 at 144), Davis (7-0 at 138) and Glass (6-0 at 120/126). Strickland has six pins and a forfeit. “We need him to get more time on the mat, but I’m defi-nitely not saying (don’t pin ‘em),” Stanley said. “He’s doing the right stuff.”Testa has five pins, an injury default and a forfeit. Foster has six pins and one forfeit. It’s an amazing start for the junior who missed the past two years with injuries. “Foster is a buzzsaw,” Stanley said. “His freshman year he tore his ACL. He got a neck injury (last year). He broke his ankle in middle school. To sit for two years, it’s so fun to see him right back at it like he’s not even rusty.”On Davis, Stanley said: “Every day you can see his confidence coming. He’s somebody in the future that were really looking to.”Boswell is 6-1 at 190. “He wrestles really tough guys all the time, so he’s just now starting to believe in him-self,” Stanley said. “By the end of the year, he’s going to be somebody to look for. Testa is a tough (practice) partner, so sometimes it’s hard to believe in yourself when you’ve got a buzzsaw on you all day.”Godbey is 6-1 at 215, and Thao is 5-0 with five pins at 126/132. “(Thao’s) a buzzsaw,” Stanley said. “If you get him rolling and believing, he’s hard to stop.”Szewczyk is 5-0 at 113/120. Nail and Jacobs are 4-1 at 132 and 113, respec-tively. Unfortunately, Nail suffered a knee injury during the Lowery Duals. Fortu-nately, Davie is extremely deep in the spots around 132. “I hope it’s not too bad,” Stanley said. “He might have strained his MCL. If it had to happen, now is a good time and it’s at a good place be-cause we’re so deep there.”Pelote (150/157) and Gould (157) are both 4-2. Jack Bost (106) and Luke Tehandon (120) are both 2-0. Alexander is 2-1 at 165. “We are real high on (Al-exander),” he said. “He’s just coming back from football, and his first day he was wres-tling with Testa and tweaked his ankle.” Stanley’s mat men dominate See Dominates - Page B12 By Brian PittsEnterprise Record Before a certain player got hurt, the Davie girls basketball team was going to return three of its top four scorers from last year and it was going to be a force to be reckoned with in the Central Piedmont Conference. The wind was at Davie’s back. Coach Lindsey Ad-ams arrived following an 0-25 season in 2019-20 and breathed life into the program. The War Eagles went 3-9 in her first year. They climbed to 9-14 the next year. They climbed to 13-13 last year, when they enjoyed the finest 12-game stretch (10-2) in eight years, stopped a 12-game losing streak to East Forsyth, knocked off the eventual co-champion Reynolds by 36 points, achieved their first playoff appearance in seven years and stopped a streak of six losing seasons with a 13-13 record. And in Adams’ mind, the best was yet to come in 2023-24. The pieces were in place to contend for their first CPC title since 2003, to push toward their first winning season since 2016. That was before a devastating injury. A sense of fatalism descended when Kenadi Gentry sustained a By Brian PittsEnterprise Record A year ago at this time, the Davie boys basketball team was a ghost in the Cen-tral Piedmont Conference landscape. The War Eagles had graduated nine seniors and returned zero starters. But new coach Josh Pitt-man flashed a golden touch, the War Eagles made noise in the CPC and they ascended to unexpected heights at 17-9 overall and 7-7 in the league. They scratched and clawed to the most wins in four years - and four more than the previous year - and reached the 4-A playoffs. Hayden Williams (10 points per game) and Burke Rosenbaum (6.4) are gone, but a host of known quanti-ties are back, including tent-poles like Jackson Powers, Boys fired up for new season Coleman Lawhon and Ethan Ratledge. Thus there’s hope that Davie is on its way to making something special happen in 2023-24. Are you fired up yet or are you fired up yet? “Nov. 21 can’t get here fast enough,” Pittman said last week. “We started work-ing in the spring. I’m a day-by-day, game-by-game type guy. I’ve got big expecta-tions, but at the same time last year nobody expected us to be in it. Next thing you know, at the blink of an eye, you’re in the game. This year everybody has their eyes open and they expect you to be there, so their preparation will be different toward you and we have to match that preparation because there’s no more sneaking up.”The 6-6 Powers is a ter-rific player. As a sophomore, he was No. 1 in scoring (14.7), rebounding (13.4) and blocked shots (2.3). He doesn’t do a lot of talking; he’s just one of those guys who brings his hard hat every day and goes to work. “Jackson’s been in the weight room a little bit more, he has leaned down and he’s become a little bit more athletic,” Pittman said. “I believe he’s going to have a great year, if it’s in God’s plans. He puts the work in and he’s very coachable. He’s dedicated. You’re going to have to keep him on your radar because if you sleep on him, he’ll end up with a double-double.”Lawhon, the 6-1 point guard, was second in points (12.8), first in steals (3.7) and third in rebounding (5.6). He’s ready to roll as a senior. “I think Coleman’s go- ing to really surprise a lot of people with the way his game has developed - not only the basketball aspect, but his maturity, his atti-tude and his approach to the game,” Pittman said. “I think he’s leaps and bounds from where he was last year. In the summer he shined in some big-time moments against some big-time point guards, so I think the sky is the limit for him if he stays composed and leads.”The 6-4 Ratledge is back as a senior after being a sig-nificant contributor last year with 6.7 points, 7.8 rebounds and 1.2 steals. “I need Ethan to be more aggressive this year, because he is always one of your top three players,” Pittman said. “It’s just up to Ethan when he decides he wants to be Girls lose floor general to injury Please See Girls - Page B14 Please See Boys - Page B12 Junior Brett Foster has come out blazing with a 7-0 record at the 144 weight class. - Photos by Ashley Bowden Senior Jaden Conner has earned two wins so far at 165.

Brungardt’s pin was not a surprise. “She’s a leader with the girls,” Stanley said. “She’s been there. She was the only girl on the team in the past. It’s a fun ride for her to go from the token girl on the team to leading the team. She’s so excited to go out there everyday. It was im-portant for her to start strong, and she did. She’s scrappy. Her mom is a big part of the program, so it’s exciting for both of them.”The crowd was delirious when Clare barely outlasted her opponent. She went from unsure whether she wanted to try wrestling to exhilaration. “Jackie has had a handful of practices,” Stanley said. “She didn’t know if she wanted to continue. I said: ‘Just give me one more day.’ I get a text (after the OT win) and she’s like: ‘Coach, that was awesome.’ You could tell it hooked her. It only takes one match like that where everybody is scream-ing. She poured her guts out. She didn’t know that she won or anything, but it was amaz-ing. She’s an ROTC girl and she’s got a great mentality. She went out smiling. She didn’t know what to think, and that (opposing) girl got gritty, and it was like fight or flight kicked in and Jackie started scrapping. So it was fun to see.” Dominates ...

I believe he can be a 10-15 point player, it’s up to him to take that step.”Pittman could throw a big lineup at opponents if he puts Lawhon, Gavin Williams, Ratledge, Elliott Erlandsson (6-4) and Powers on the floor together. Williams is a 6-7 wing who started his high school career at Davie, attended Calvary last year and decided to return for his junior year. “Gavin has been a two guard for us,” he said. “He has a nice mid-range, he’s crafty around the basket and his handle is decent.”Erlandsson is a junior who made an instant impact when he was pulled up from JV. In nine varsity games, he averaged 3.5 points and 4.7 rebounds. “It’s exciting because we can play differ-ent styles,” he said. “Elliott’s a stretch-four. If we can get him to put the ball on the floor a little more, that will open up his game. I think he’ll shine. They’re going to be on alert for him.”Junior guard Braddock Coleman (3.7 ppg, 2 re-bounds, 1.3 steals) and The Davie swim teams were nearly perfect in their season-opening meet against Oak Grove on Nov. 15. Both hill and get buckets. He’s still not quite 100 percent. We’re going to take our time with him because I want him to finish the year on two with 10 toes down, so he can go into his senior year confident and feel good about his leg holding up.“Adam has been a pleas-ant surprise. He had a good summer, and he continues to work and shine.”Erlandsson (13.4), Driver (11.5), Owens (10.6) and Brown (10.1) were all dou-ble-figure scorers for the JV. Owens has been slowed by a hurt ankle. “Cam’s out two more weeks because he turned his ankle and they put him in a boot for three weeks,” Pittman said. “He probably won’t be cleared to play until the second week of December, we’ll go from there. I’m what they call a practice coach. If you have one of those weeks where you’re locked in and ready to play and you’re doing ev-erything right, you’re going to get a chance and you have to take it advantage of those opportunities.”In last year’s CPC race, Mt. Tabor ran away with first at 14-0, but it was a free-for-all from second through fifth, with West Forsyth/East Forsyth tied at 10-4, Reagan at 8-6 and Davie at 7-7. The 2023-24 race should be entertaining. There’s no telling which will escape with the crown. “The thing with us being in a conference with Forsyth County, you never know who is going to be where,” Pittman said. “I’ve heard of kids from Reynolds going to West. I’ve heard of kids from out of wherever going to Tabor. I’ve heard of kids from QEA (Quality Education Acade-my) and other schools going to East. Tabor will be pretty good. East, West and Reagan Boys ... sophomore guard Gavin Reese contributed last year as youngsters. Adam Brown, Cam Owens and Ethan Driv-er are up from the JV. Don’t forget about Landon King, who is back after missing his entire sophomore year with a horrific football knee injury. “I would not mind start-ing out with five bigs and making a team adjust to us,” he said. “Then we can flip back and then you’re talking about Gavin (Reese) or Braddock or Landon. Ethan and Braddock are a little rusty (after playing football), but I think they will adjust quickly because they’re quick-learning kids and they’re dedicated. When you’re quick and dedicated, you can play two sports and shine and be good to go when it’s time to flip over.“Landon is getting his legs back under him. He can defend positions 1-3. He’s mentally strong and athletic. He’s like a wildcard. When you talk about dog players, he’s one of those guys we like to run a lot of trick defenses with. I can say to Landon: ‘He doesn’t touch it.’ Landon will do that. On the other end, he is crafty and can score. He can get down- will be good. I think Park-land has improved. I think Reynolds got a couple new pieces, so I think it’s going to be a tough conference. You get to see how your coaching works, how your style works, how your players work and respond, and you hope for the best.”Notes: Pittman is assisted again by Will Tibbs and JV head coach Tracey Arnold. ... The War Eagles, who finished third, fifth and fifth the past three years, are searching for their first CPC title since 2019, which is also the last time they advanced past the first round. squads captured 10 off 11 events. The Davie girls won 115-49, while the boys edged the Grizzlies 89-81. The girls featured a pair of double winners in individ-ual events - Addy Buchanan (200 IM at 2:38.79, 500 free at 6:27.85) and Logan White (100 free at 1:00.96, 100 breaststroke at 1:17.52). Brady Sheek (200 freestyle at 2:25.26), Samara McDan-iel (100 butterfly at 1:18.27) and Lilli Seats (100 back-stroke at 1:15.26) also won. The girls swept the relays. The winning teams were Seats, White, Sarah Rajacich and Sophia Brady (200 med-ley relay, 2:05.45); Rajacich, Brady, Seats and White (200 free relay, 1:54.73); and Riley McNeil, Olivia Dufur, Grace Butler and Buchanan (400 free relay, 4:50.66). •••For the Davie boys, Earnhardt Harris (200 IM at 2:09.48, 100 butterfly at 56.02), Zach Hirata (200 free at 1:59.84, 100 free at 52.35) and Aiden Davis (50 free at 24.70, 100 back-stroke at 1:00.63) claimed two individual events each. Colin O’Donell (500 free at Swim coach excited about opener 5:55.27) and Logan Zuleger (100 breaststroke at 1:13.29) added wins. Taking relays were Davis, Zuleger, Hira-ta and Harris (200 medley relay, 1:51.38) and Hirata, Davis, Zuleger and Harris (200 free relay, 1:37.43). Davie’s third-year coach, Lance White, was all smiles. “Great first meet with strong wins across our senior class and what I call our newbies (mostly freshmen),” he said. “We are losing a lot of great seniors (after) this year, but this newbie class proved in this first meet they are ready to answer the call to keep Davie growing and getting stronger.”Davie has 13 females and 11 males on the roster. “If you consider over half the team has only been in the pool consistently for about two weeks, we are extremely pleased with these results,” White said. “To see one of the largest Davie swim teams in recent history, we are more than excited with our times and what the next couple of months holds for us.” Senior Luke Tehandon is off to a 2-0 start at 120.

The match began at the 138 weight class and con-cluded at 132. North’s 48-30 lead had evaporated as the Bulldogs rattled off three straight pins. It was 48-48 with the outcome hanging in the balance when Riddle stepped onto the mat at 132. He was trailing 4-3 in the third period, but he applied a headlock with 25 seconds remaining that resulted in a pin. It was all mayhem when the referee slapped the mat. “The bench went cra-zy, guys jumping up and down,” coach Jamey Holt said. “They almost went out on the mat and tackled Jason after the ref slapped the mat.” It was the kind of glori-ous moment that every ath-lete cherishes, especially an eighth grader who is in the starting lineup for the first time in his career. “He wasn’t sure if he wanted to do it his eighth-grade year,” Holt said. “He’s a three-year guy getting his first starting duty, so it was good to see him come through in that spot. He’s a hard worker in the room, so it was well deserved for Jason. I’m super proud of him.”North turned in seven pins, the other six coming from Chris Gonzalez (76), Graylan Anderson (106), Taylor Shenberger (138), Isaac O’Toole (152), Jaden Dillard (160) and Nathan Smith (195). Riddle wasn’t the only one who rose to the occasion. Dominic Ishuin (83) and Connor Gannon (98) pulled out hard-fought decisions of 14-9 and 10-7, respectively. “Dominic gutted out a win,” Holt said. “He couldn’t pin the guy when we got him on his back, and then we got put on ours. He fought off and took back control to finish it off. “Connor had a huge win late. Their guy had a little strut to him and had me worried early, but Connor outwrestled him in the last By Brian PittsEnterprise Record Selma Burke came into the showdown against South Davie’s boys basketball team undefeated just like South, but the Tigers appear to be on another level from every-one else. South passed the major test with flying colors, win-ning 65-57 over the visiting Bears on Nov. 13. After the Tigers built a 20-14 working margin in the first quarter, they took the game by the throat in the sec-ond. William Martin, Drae-ton Nance and Noah Dulin combined for 18 points as South soared to a 40-25 halftime lead. Selma was all but done. “It was awesome,” coach Germain Mayfield said. “Win or lose, that’s the kind of game I wanna play every week.”Nance wreaked havoc, as always, with 25 points, raising his season average to 23.7. Dulin (eight) turned in his lowest point total in 14 games, but it hardly mat-tered because Martin came through brilliantly. He had 19 of his season-high 21 in the first three quarters, about twice as much as he was averaging through seven games. Riddle seals thrilling wrestling win for North two periods to win by three. He got a big takedown late to seal the decision.”Notes: The win kept North (6-1) in a tie for first place. Erwin, China Grove and West Rowan also have one loss. ... The Wildcats have a five-match winning streak despite not having their heavyweight for five matches. SD 56, Moor 42After dropping three straight, after enduring loss-es by 12, one, four and 11 points, South Davie found a way in a home match against Mooresville on Nov. 8. The Tigers were missing eighth graders Xander Proctor and Brandon Paster - both were under the weather - but they still managed to pull out a much-needed 56-42 win. “We finally put it together (despite missing) two of my hammers,” coach Russell Hilton said. “We’re battling the flu right now. It was nice to pull a close one out.”Anthony Ciancimino (76), Colten Beck (83) and Dreighton Lunnerman (132) came through with pins. Rico Evans (90) rolled up a technical fall. Kason Dozier (220) won a decision. But the biggest differ-ence-makers were KJ Mc-Clelland (106) and Zion Lyons (126). They both sur-vived tense decisions, with Lyons squeaking out a one-point victory. “Zion had to scrap one out,” Hilton said. “It was a tough match. KJ and Zion wrestled as hard as they pos-sibly could. Both of those guys showed a lot of heart.”McClelland faced a 6-2 deficit going into the third period. Amazingly, he would win going away, 15-9. Not bad for a sixth grader. “KJ beat a really tough kid,” Hilton said. “They went at it. You could tell the kid was way more experi-enced than KJ, but he held him on his back to get back points.” WR 87, SD 24The Tigers carried none of the momentum it had from the Mooresville match when it traveled to West Rowan on Nov. 16. That’s because they were missing nine starters and had to forfeit six weight classes. The result was their worst loss of the season. Proctor, Paster, McClel-land and Lyons all had pins, but those four accounted for all the scoring for South (2-6). A nine-point outburst by Cam Holland was another big boost for South. Hol-land had seven in the third, when the Tigers maintained a healthy margin at 55-43. Holland had totaled five points in four games before stepping up in this one. “William and Cam were the best two players on the floor,” Mayfield said. “Cam had nine big points and his energy and effort was off the chain.”Notes: This was the clos-est game of the season for the 8-0 Tigers, who won the first seven games by an average of 41. ... Anderson Branham had 2 points. ... South has won 21 of 22 since last year. Ellis 46, Moor 39Zaheim Reese delivered in the clutch as Ellis knocked off Mooresville on the road on Nov. 13. He scored nine of his team-high 13 points in the decisive fourth quarter, when the Jaguars turned a 33-33 tie into a solid victory. “Zaheim really stepped up and made a couple bas-kets at the end to seal our win,” coach Alexis Hoppers said. Ellis doesn’t win without Brandon Forrest’s 12 points, six steals and six rebounds. “He truly is a leader on our team - not just with scor-ing but also with our team culture,” Hoppers said. The rest of the points came from Westen Barefoot (6), Cannon Smith (6), Ma-son Driver (5) and Brady Hall (4). Barefoot blocked two shots and Bowman Blakley contributed four rebounds and three steals. Ellis 47, CG 18Ten Jaguars put up points as Ellis picked up its largest win of the season at China Grove on Nov. 14. Ellis set the tone in the first quarter, breaking out to a 12-2 lead behind six points from Smith and two each from Hall, Seager Brooks and Barefoot. Ellis kept rolling from there as Smith and Graham Weaver finished with nine points each. Hall had 7, Forrest 4, Barefoot 4, Driver 4, Reese 3, Tay Settecasi 3, Brooks 2 and Blakley 2. For-rest added seven rebounds and two assists. WR 53, ND 45North Davie spiraled again at West Rowan on Nov. 13. The Wildcats were in contention at the end of the third - West held a 30-26 advantage - but they gave up 23 points in the fourth and suffered their fifth straight loss. “It’s like a broken re-cord,” coach Trevor Gooch said. “We keep playing from behind and getting in foul trouble. We must improve both sides of the ball. We must keep working and try to get better. We played better in the fourth quarter. Unfortunately, West Rowan stepped their game up as well.”The North scorers: Wyatt Harwood 9, Edarius Oliver 8, Isaiah Hernandez 8, Nolan Allen 7, Reynolds Tomlin-son 5, Carter Cornett 4, Glen Greene 2. ND 49, Ellis 36This was absolutely not what anyone expected. How the heck did North dominate visiting Ellis on Nov. 16? Ellis was 6-2 and riding a three-game winning streak. North was 2-5 with a long losing streak. How sweet it must have felt to come back from obliv-ion against a county rival after losing by 29 and 32 to Ellis last year. “A big win for us,” Gooch said. “It took playing one of the county rivals to get us fired up and play well.”North dictated terms throughout. It was made possible by Cornett, who had a monster game. The eighth grader scored a career-high 23 points after entering with a 4.7 average. Unfortunately, Cornett’s signature performance was tarnished by injury. Every-one’s stomach dropped when Cornett went down in the third quarter with a knee injury. “Carter played awe-some,” Gooch said. “Unfor-tunately, Carter hurt his knee driving under the basket in the third quarter. Shout-out to the Ellis players who came over to check on Carter. That South boys basketball wins battle of the unbeatens was a class move. A lot of these guys played on travel teams together.”The injury could spell the end of his season. “He went to emergency room and the report is he dislo-cated his knee and will need a MRI,” Gooch said. “It doesn’t sound good.”Harwood had 12 points, Oliver 7, Allen 4 and Her-nandez 3. “Wyatt had a solid game at point guard,” Gooch said. “Edarius played well with a lot of hustle and energy, especially down the stretch.”The Ellis scoring: For-rest 12, Blakley 5, Brooks 4, Smith 3, Reese 3, Ayden Chilton 3, Hall 2, Barefoot 2, Weaver 2.

She was the floor general, the quarterback, the experi-enced point guard who made everything go. “With everybody healthy, we were definitely the team to beat in conference,” Ad-ams said. “In the summer and fall, everybody was caught up with Kenadi being Girls ... By Brian Pitts Enterprise Record The Ellis girls basketball team got off to a rough-by-its-standards start at Mooresville. Its lead early in the first quarter was only 8-6. But then the hottest team on planet earth kicked into gear and obliterated the Red Imps, outscoring them 27-6 to take a 35-12 lead into the fourth. “Coming off the big win we had against West Rowan, we knew it was going to be a challenge to not come out flat, and that was exactly what happened,” coach Su-san Jones said after a 43-18 win on Nov. 13. “For the entire first quarter, we were a step slow in everything we were doing. We also struggled offensively this entire game.” Ho-hum: Ellis girls win by 25, 37 Ferocious defense turned the game into a ho-hum rout. “This game more than any showed how it is our pressure defense that en-ables us to do so well,” Jones said. “It was this de-fense that got us the steals, forced turnovers and layups when our set offense didn’t have much falling.”Gracyn Coleman rolled up a double-double, scoring a career-high 18 points to go with 12 steals. Gracie Shore collected 18 points, eight steals and three assists. Olivia Smith is an 11.3 scor-er who struggled to three, but she still made herself a factor by contributing seven steals and five rebounds. Layla Hazlip and Sydney Ward had two points apiece. Ellis 54, CG 17One day later, the Jaguars were missing Coleman (11.2 ppg) and got off to anoth- er sluggish start at China Grove. But then they did what they do. In the second quarter, Ellis went on a 13-5 run to turn a 14-9 lead into 27-14. “We switched up our defense and the girls kicked into another gear defensive-ly,” Jones said. The third quarter was just absurd. Ellis scored 22 un-answered points. Shore had 24 when the quarter ended. Smith responded magnifi-cently from her cold outing against Mooresville, drilling four straight 3-pointers in the third and scoring all 20 of her points in the first three quarters. “We gave our girls the challenge to come out play-ing with the same intensity they had (in the second quarter), and boy did they ever,” Jones said. Shore took her game to another level. After scor-ing 23 twice earlier in the season, she finished with 27 - the most by a Jaguar in 124 games. Smith’s 20 was a career high; she had 17 in a game last year. Hazlip had three, while S. Ward and Ol-ivia Rareshide had two each. “(Shore had 27) along with her suffocating defen-sive efforts,” Jones said. “Sydney stepped in a new role (with Coleman out), snagging a number of steals with a great defensive per-formance. Zoe Summers mirrored Sydney’s efforts defensively, and Rareshide got herself a quick bucket while playing some valuable minutes.”Notes: Ellis (8-0) has achieved the longest win-ning streak in program his-tory while tormenting oppo-nents 52-16 on average. ... Shore’s 27 at China Grove were the most points by a Jaguar since Emma Sla-bach’s school-record 29 in a 35-26 win over Oak Grove in 2013-14. Selma 41, SD 22Even though South Davie was dealt its third consecu-tive loss at home against Selma Burke on Nov. 13, coach Julie Snow saw rea-sons to be encouraged. They were within 18-14 at halftime. “We played the best bas-ketball we have ever played in the first half,” Snow said. “We moved the ball well and played great defense. Selma Burke is fast and they have the best shooter we have seen yet.”The Bears just proved to be too good, outscoring South 11-2 in the third and pouring on 12 more points in the fourth. “Our inexperience showed up in the second half,” Snow said. “(Beth) Carter and I are so proud of our girls. They acknowledge what they need to work on and want to grow. Growing pains are tough but we con-tinue to fight through them. We are so thankful for these girls and their positive atti-tudes, and I am so thankful coach Carter is with me for the ride.”South’s points came from Allie Cothren (9), Sakariah Allison (8), Sarenity Miller (2), Akiela Young (2) and EG Snow (1). Clara Parsley did not score, but she drew raves from the coach. “Clara played the best game she has ever played,” Snow said. “She hustled. Her biggest strength is she listens and goes out and makes it happen. She is stronger every game she plays.” our leading scorer and all that, and Malayka Rankin was averaging 15-16 points a game, along with Kena-di’s 15-16 points a game, along with Avarie Martin averaging 12-13 points a game. When you take a facilitator like Kenadi away, now they’re able to put their best defenders on Malayka and now Peyton Spaugh is having to run point guard; so that takes away a tough-ness in the post that we had. Avarie is having to do more work than was expected of her because everything is a domino effect.”Gentry was Davie’s No. 1 scorer the past two years. After averaging 11.9 as a sophomore, she scored at a 12.9 clip last year. She had games with 20, 23 and 28, the latter coming in the stunning wipeout over Reynolds. She turned in an 18-point, 10-rebound game in which she drilled four 3-pointers. She was standing at 589 career points. She has college offers from St. Andrews, Brevard, Pfeiffer and Greensboro. Kenadi’s sister, soph-omore Makenzie Gentry, was going to assume the point-guard duties. Making things even more challeng-ing, Makenzie had already gone down with her own knee injury as she tore her meniscus. Talk about a kid who has been cursed, it was just the latest painful setback for Makenzie. She missed her entire freshman year with a knee injury and hasn’t played since averag-ing 17.4 points as a South Davie eighth grader. The good news: Maken- zie had surgery Nov. 6 and is scheduled to return to the court Jan. 2. But Gentry injuries have completely reversed the outlook of the season. Davie is back to square one, back to the rebuilding-mode days of 2020-21. “We’re trying to figure out who the next point guard is,” Adams said. “Now you’re playing veteran teams with no point guard and three freshmen in the starting lineup. We’re back to where we were four years ago when everybody was young and we had growing pains. It’s a place we did not expect our program to be at right now.“Now I have five or six freshmen on varsity. We did not win a game on Super Saturday (at Freedom on Nov. 11). We went 0-3. We did play very good, veteran teams in Pisgah, East Burke and Marvin Ridge, who are historically good. But they exposed us. Malayka did all she could, but we have to have others step up and help her.”Davie will lean heavily on Rankin, Spaugh and sophomore Bailey Ader-hold. Rankin is a fourth-year varsity player who averaged 7.6 points last year. Spaugh is a third-year varsity player who averaged 6.2. Both are ferocious competitors on the defensive end. Rankin drew a whopping 32 charges as a junior, ranking first in the state in that category. She has offers from Brevard, Pfeiffer, William Peace and Greensboro. A major scoring bur-den will fall on Aderhold’s shoulders. She has a year of varsity experience under her belt. “Bailey she has a lot more confidence now,” Adams said. “Last year I think she struggled with confidence being the only freshman on varsity and playing behind a senior. She’s worked all offseason and gained her confidence back.” With the War Eagles lacking experience outside of Rankin/Spaugh/Ader-hold, they will have to rely on freshmen Martin, Emmie Burris, Madison Daugherty, Vivian Vaughters and Lon-dyn McDowell. “Avarie is probably the most athletic on the team,” Adams said of the 5-10 center. “I mean, she can touch the rim. She can block shots, but she’s not used to the physicality of what 4-A basketball is. In high school, you can’t just block every shot.“Emmie and Madison are shooters who were going to be coming off the bench. Now they’re potentially in the starting lineup and being thrown to the wolves.” SHOP LOCAL THIS YEAR DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Nov. 23, 2023 - B15 Public Notices No. 1737494STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA COUNTY OF DAVIEIN THE GENERAL COURT OF JUSTICESUPERIOR COURT DIVISION22 CvS 65DAVIE COUNTY, A Body Politic and CorporatePlaintiff-vs- UNKNOWN HEIRS AT LAW OF ANIBAL CRUZ, NOEMI CRUZ, UNKNOWN SPOUSE OF NOEMI CRUZ, ANIBAL CRUZ, JR., a/k/a CHRIS CRUZ, UNKNOWN SPOUSE OF ANIBAL CRUZ, JR.DefendantsNOTICE OF SALEUnder and by virtue of an order of the Superior Court of Davie County, North Carolina, made and entered in the action enti-tled DAVIE COUNTY, A Body Politic and Corporate Plaintiff vs. UNKNOWN HEIRS AT LAW OF ANIBAL CRUZ, NOEMI CRUZ, UNKNOWN SPOUSE OF NO-EMI CRUZ, ANIBAL CRUZ, JR., a/k/a CHRIS CRUZ, UNKNOWN SPOUSE OF ANIBAL CRUZ, JR., Defendants, the undersigned commissioner will on December 7, 2023 at 11:00 AM offer for sale and sell for cash, to the last and highest bidder at public auction, at the courthouse door in Davie County, North Carolina in Mocks-ville, the following described prop-erty lying in Davie County, North Carolina and more particularly de-scribed as follows:BEGINNING at an iron, North-west corner of within described lands located South 18 deg. 10 min. 35 sec.
