Almond’s wife, Jessica, is the former mayor who has been named in a lawsuit filed by Mocksville attorney, Bran-dy Koontz, on behalf of the town, for being negligent in her duties. Former board member Jeannie Taylor was also named in that lawsuit, claiming both had signed checks for the town clerk without investigating the reasons for the expenditures.That clerk, Aaron Thies, was fired last summer for embez-zlement.

BarnetteDaughters of the American Revolution, better known as DAR, is an organization for women who can trace their lineage to a person who fought in the American Revolu-tion, a Patriot. The group is a non-profit organization that promotes education and patriotism. The DAR currently has close to 200,000 members in the United States and other countries.As early as the presidency of George Washington, Americans sought ways to honor their history. One of the things that came about was the formation of the Sons of the American Revolution-SAR-- in 1890. Because this group would not allow ladies to join, a group of women that included the grandniece of George Washington, orga-nized their own women’s group, meeting for the first time on August 9, 1890.The DAR has been an active organization since that time. Today there are about 3,000 chapters in the United States alone. Any woman 18 or older regardless of race or ethnic background who can prove lineal descent from a patriot of the American Revolution is eligible for mem-bership. Each chapter has a Registrar, who is available to assist prospective members with their genealogy informa-tion.The DAR has historically helped to fund and promote patriotic and educational events and organizations. They contribute a large amount of money annually to support schools for students with a variety of special needs. One such school is the Crossnore School in Crossnore, North Carolina.The chapter that I am a member of, the Elizabeth Max-well Steele chapter in Rowan County, does several things to support the veterans who are patients at the VA Hospital there. They also sponsor an annual history essay contest for students in grades 5-8 and also has special activities every year during Constitution Week in September. In addition, members lay wreaths on the graves of soldiers buried in the National Cemetery in Salisbury.There are a lot of famous women members. I noticed that Rosalynn Carter was a member as were Laura Bush, Senator Tammy Duckworth, and former Senator Elizabeth Dole who is originally from Salisbury.Sources: various articles read and personal informa-tion. End of TimesBy: E. BishopWe are told by the powers that be that the United States is one of the most powerful nations in the world if not the most powerful. Do you dare to think that this is indeed true? So, is it possible? Could our nation be struck down to barely surviving, living in a new dark age after a horri-fying apocalyptic event? A former coworker recommended I read “One Second After” by William R. Forstchen (2009) which is a fictional story of such an event set in a small mountain town in North Carolina. It is so scarily believable that I want to go stock up on food, water, medicine and anything else I can get my hands on to survive, just in case. Praise for the book included a statement by William B. Scott, former editor and bureau chief of “Aviation Week & Space Tech-nology” - “A blood-chilling wake-up call that chaos and death are but a power plug away…”. The weapon of destruction is an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) which would render our nation inoperable as we know it. A solar storm set off above the atmosphere would destroy all the electrical infrastructure, communication would be shut down, no more internet/cell phones, gen-erators disconnected, and massive chaos would occur im-mediately afterward. Breakdown of our society as it now is would follow. At this point, it would not matter who was to blame for the catastrophe be it another nation or a cosmic event. In the beginning, almost everyone will be only for themselves and their loved ones. People in the cit-ies would be trying to migrate to the countryside thinking it would be safer and have more food available; martial law would be put in place since there would be massive looting, etc. But, only the strongest, most intelligent and bravest will survive to help defend the nation and make a new beginning. While reading this book, it made me think of what hor- rible conditions would exist for my own family and loved ones if this were to really happen here and how we would cope. I thought of the Horne Creek Historical Farm visit and how people in the 1900’s had to live to survive on their own little parcel of land. There are lessons to be learned there. We would have to revert back to farming and hunt-ing off the land. And, on a more serious note, it also made me fully realize that in other parts of the world today, there are such horrific destructive activities happening to so many people. It is the “end of times” for some of those people stuck in war zones. This is a great nation that we call home; let’s don't take it for granted and hope the dire warning of what could be in our future, according to this book, is never considered a possibility. Inspired to TearsBy Stephanie Williams Dean“The anguish of my loneliness was more potent than the agony of burning.” These feelings were expressed by burn victim Allison Massari after spending 400 days in hospitals, surgical suites, doctor’s offices, and physical therapy following a car accident. Her story was one of healing – and gratitude. Surrounded by 20-foot flames, Allison was burning to death in her car. But while slipping out of consciousness, a man’s eyes appeared at her car window. He busted out the glass and pulled Allison from the flames. Her clothes had to be cut off her body – those which hadn’t already burned off. With 2nd and 3rd degree burns over her body, many surgical skin grafts followed. Her entire scalp had come off her head and had to be stapled back to her skull. Can we even imagine living through something like this? Yet, sometimes we wonder how we’re going to get through the next 24 hours. But Allison’s thoughts were closer to, “How am I going to get through the next second?” She felt so deeply be-trayed by life. It took her years to get through the depres-sion, pain, and anxiety. But one day, in her mind, Allison heard the words from her deceased father saying, “The power of the mind, Allison.” Artist and celebrated speaker, Allison shared this sto-ry at the 34th annual High Point University Thanksgiving luncheon hosted by the Rotary Club. As part of her story, Allison shared with guests her greatest secret: The pursuit of happiness is greatly misunderstood – pain will always be part of our lives. But happiness is possible in the midst of suffering – happiness and pain stand side by side, and one doesn’t exist without the other. None of us want to face pain, but there will be moments when we’re forced to feel it. Allison’s pain was inescapable. Sometimes in life, there comes no break. What you have to do is dig deep when tragedy occurs. Most think of happiness as bodily fulfillment, but these are all fleeting moments. They are all dependent on some-thing external. Something deeper is available to us – but how do we get there? Do you often find yourself saying, “One day I will be happy?” I know I do. But in each situation, we have every chance to pour kindness into something. Every act of kindness makes a difference and counts. We can master the art of bringing kindness to someone if just to hold a hand, offer a simple expression of love, or smile at someone – it’s not always about the right words. “You never know the impact you might have on someone’s life. We cannot underestimate what kindness does for those around us.”The guy who saved Allison? He now sits humbly in a chair beside her. Every time she thanks him for saving her By Mike WaldenNCSU Federal Reserve policymakers have received much crit-icism over the last two years, ever since they began raising interest rates. Anyone taking out loans has seen what the higher rates can do to loan payments.But could there be some relief on the horizon? Has the Federal Reserve (Fed) signaled it’s ready to stop increas-ing interest rates? And even better, is there a possibility that next year the Fed may begin lowering interest rates?I’ll present the current thinking about the Fed’s plans, and then let you decide what the future path of interest rates may be.But first, let me remind you why the Fed has been in-creasing interest rates. When COVID-19 hit, the economy crashed, and the jobless rate jumped to 14%. The Fed went all-out to save the economy. No one knew how far COVID would spread and how long it would last. Paraphrasing the words of former Fed Chair Ben Bernanke during the sub-prime recession in the late 2000s, “We don’t want to wake up one day and not have an economy left.”The Fed has two ways of influencing the economy. It can impact interest rates by moving an interest rate it di-rectly controls. The Fed also has the power to change the supply of money in the economy.During the pandemic, the Fed used these powers to the fullest, reducing its key interest rate effectively to zero, causing other interest rates to tumble. The Fed also in-creased the money supply by $6 trillion, largely by financ-ing the federal debt issued to fund COVID relief spending.The economy began to strongly revive by the middle of 2020, and the recovery continued in the following years. Economists are already debating whether the Fed overdid its help. One reason for this debate is what happened next: roaring inflation.The Fed ignored inflation when it used its powers to stimulate the economy and promote job growth in 2020. This is not unusual. Although the Fed’s mandate is to keep both inflation and unemployment low, it usually focuses on one goal at a time. The reason is simple. The policy pre-scriptions for lowering the inflation rate and lowering the unemployment rate are the exact opposite. To push unem-ployment down, the Fed runs wide-open, lowering interest rates and creating money. But to moderate inflation, the Fed does the opposite, raising interest rates and reducing the money supply.Why was the Fed ignoring inflation in 2020? First, the Fed considered growing the economy and jobs more im-portant. Also,there was little evidence of rising inflation in 2020. Finally, the Fed thought the economy would re-cover in the same way it did after the subprime recession, when there was no jump in inflation, but the jobless rate remained persistently high. The Fed thought the prob-lem after COVID would be unemployment, not inflation. Instead, the exact opposite occurred. As we moved into 2021, the jobless rate continued to drop, but the inflation rate soared. However, the Fed waited an entire year — un-til early 2022 — before shifting policy to address inflation. There are still questions about the reason for the delay. The most logical answer is the Fed didn’t realize how long it would take to fix supply chains. The Fed’s stimulative pol-icies of easy money and low interest rates combined with supply shortages were a perfect recipe for big price jumps.The Fed’s about-face in 2022 was one of the fastest pol-icy shifts in the agency’s history. In less than a year and a half, the Fed took its interest rate from zero to over 5%. They also cut over $2 trillion from the money supply.With the supply chain largely fixed and the economy growing more slowly, price pressures have moderated. The year-over-year inflation rate has eased from over 9% to close to 3%. The Fed’s goal is 2%. Also, the econo-my has thus far avoided a recession. With the Fed’s rapid slamming of the brakes on the economy, a year ago most analysts expected a recession by now.Now let me turn to the future and address two ques-tions: Has the Fed finished increasing interest rates, and if so, when might the Fed begin to cut rates?The Fed has kept its key interest rate constant since May. Although the Fed is very careful about revealing pol-icymakers’ thinking, I think the Fed is pleased with the direction of the economy. Specifically, they like the fact Is the Fed done with raising interest rates?

Continued From Page 2life, he answers, “No, it was you who saved me.” His wife had died, and he’d lost all hope. He was not a nice person and had wronged many people. He’d lost his will to live. And what a complete coincidence that he was even there that day – he was supposed to be somewhere else. But at the very moment that Allison was burning to death, he pulled up to her car as it burst into flames. Allison was an artist and had just picked up gallons of turpentine before the accident occurred. Allison’s final message to us was to stay “defiant.” Think about this word not like a rebellious teen but more like no matter what happens to you – choose peace and keep your heart open in the world we live in. Stay defi-ant. Even in the most tragic of circumstances, good can be found. A fine line divides a life of bitterness and sweetness. Don’t forget to nourish beauty and goodness. Through all that is despairing and painful – you can choose love and kindness. Seek to find the good – it’s always there. The power of your Spirit is incredible. “May you shine like the sun.”In the end, Allison created an adventure camp for burned kids. Yes, pain and joy can exist side by side. Continued From Page 2fact price increases have gotten smaller and the economy has not slid into a recession. And although the average household’s standard of living is still lower today than be-fore the pandemic, workers’ earnings have begun to rise faster than prices.So here are my current forecasts. I see no further Fed-induced interest rate hikes. This doesn’t mean interest rates can’t rise for other reasons, such as fears about the extent and impact of the Middle East conflict, for example.But I don’t see any reductions in the Fed’s key interest rate for a while — probably no sooner than in mid-2024. The Fed wants to make sure its “medicine” continues to work to move the annual inflation rate to 2%. But once the Fed is satisfied that this is happening, I predict that it will cut its key interest rate 2 percentage points by the end of 2024. This change will prompt other interest rates to drop.Guessing the actions of the Federal Reserve is tricky. But the evidence and signs are aligning to motivate the Fed to make some interest rate reductions by this time next year. So, is it time to celebrate or be wary?

Hartman said that charges, if any, aren’t likely until early next year.The lawsuit claims that Thies embezzled more than $250,000 from the town since his employment in 2021. The town received an injunction from a judge ordering Thies not to hide or dispose of personal prop-erty.Chris Almond has re-mained on the board, and that worries Ijames, who said that last winter, Chris had discovered $5,500 missing in the police bud-get, but did not pursue the matter enough. Ijames said he became more skeptical when Jessica Almond was named in the lawsuit.Ijames said he helped break the case when he learned that Thies had been depositing a lot of town checks in his name.Ellen Herbert said: “How has the former mayor’s hus-band not removed himself?” She also offered encourage-ment to the board: “I’m sure they will guide us into more positive representation of what this town has to offer.”Chris Almond responded later in the meeting: “I beat myself up every day. He (Thies) stole from me, too. I pay taxes just like you do. Get off my back ... I want him behind bars as much as you do.”Chris said that he and board member Andy Reavis went over the police budget time and time again to try to find the problem. “And I’m a numbers guy. We were told it was a software glitch.”Steve Corriher, who was hired as clerk after Thies was fired, said a new au-dit of the town’s finances should be ready for the board in January.The new mayor said that while he had a lot to learn about the job, he wants more participation from town residents.“There are quite a few things we can do to make things better,” Smith said. “We need to look at these processes of how the town, regarding finances ... to make sure something like this doesn’t happen again.”All town ordinances need a thorough review, he said. “That’s the constant com-plaint I hear, and you can see it in a lot of places.”At the December meet- ing, Smith said there would be sign-up sheets for citizen committees to discuss is-sues and make recommen-dations to the board. “I’m humbled to be seat-ed in this chair,” Smith said. “We will try to make this town all the things it can be.” Sandra Ferrell added: “I will do the best of my abil-ity to serve this town with honesty, integrity and with transparecnency.” Cooleemee board members Chris Almond and Andy Reavis.

It wasn’t easy. Those are available, too, and most people want them already put together, said Ann Wilson, parent volunteer.“I chose the band in the sixth grade,” Carson said, and although family mem-bers thought otherwise, he chose the saxophone. “I’ve loved it ever since.”There are 96 members in the band, growing since a decline in numbers during the pandemic.“It’s a huge fresh-man class,” Wilson said. “They’re good and improv-ing really fast, which is a good sign.”The concert band, sym-phonic band and wind en-semble will present a hol- iday concert in the Davie High auditorium at 7 p.m. on Dec. 19.

DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Nov. 30, 2023 - 7 Read the news first at: www.ourdavie.com Superior Court District Court An alert resident led to the arrest of a Greensboro man for breaking into multi-ple vehicles in Advance.That resident called at 10:06 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 24, stating that a man was breaking into vehicles in the Redland Road/Laven-der Farm Trail area. They even gave a description of the suspect’s truck, a white Dodge Ram with a bed cov-er.Davie Sheriff’s Office deputies arrived four min-utes later, and initially were unable to locate the truck.Then more reports start-ed coming in of vehicle break-ins in the area, with tools, weapons and money reported as stolen.At 11:28 p.m., deputies located the truck being driv-en on Redland Road, and attempted a stop.“The driver failed to stop ... sped off driving reckless-ly, almost hitting a deputy’s vehicle,” said Davie Sher-iff J.D. Hartman. “A brief chase ensued, which ended when the driver lost control of his vehicle and wrecked on US 158.”Wyman Dwayne Kearns, 53, was taken into custody after a brief foot chase. A large number of believed to be stolen items were found in the vehicle. By Lt. Col. Stephen Leighton, MDSugar Valley CAP On Dec. 2, the Sugar Val-ley Composite Squadron of Civil Air Patrol (CAP) will hold its second blood drive at Sugar Valley Airport, 249 Gilbert Rd, Mocksville. Donors are welcome. Visit the Red Cross website at: RedCrossBlood.org and use the sponsor code “CAP” to find the drive at Sugar Valley Airport; or contact Stephen Leighton at 336-529-0383 to schedule an ap-pointment.As of November, Civ-il Air Patrol’s Operation Pulse Lift (OPL) has raised over 24,500 units of blood, potentially contributing, according to the American Red Cross (ARC), to more than 60,000 lives saved. The North Carolina Wing has joined in this na-tionwide effort and held its first blood donation drive on May 6 at Sugar Valley Airport in Mocksville. The Sugar Valley Composite Squadron, along with the American Red Cross, host-ed the event for the OPL Mission.On March 17, 2020, at the urging of the U.S. Sur-geon General, Civil Air Pa-trol responded to the nation-al need and formed OPL, which mobilized to support CAP’s COVID-19 response, because the nation had lost 80% of its donor sites due to precautionary COVID clo-sures. The first OPL Blood Donation Center (BDC) be-came operational on April 15, 2020. During the initial nine-month surge response of The following cases were disposed of during the Oct. 9 session of Davie Superior Court. Presiding: Judge John Morris.

He was on parole for being a habitual felon and has a long record of break-ing into vehicles.Hartman said that more charges are likely. 2020, CAP hosted 42 tem-porary BDCs at seven sites. With other donations from nationwide members, OPL supported the collection of 1,530 blood units, becoming one of the largest consistent temporary blood donation programs in the nation. This resulted in two ARC Outstanding Service recog-nitions from the President/CEO of the American Red Cross, the status of “Pre-mier Blood Partner,” and the Ironman Award for its nationwide blood support efforts.In the subsequent three years of the pandemic chal-lenges in America, the OPL has continued to operate 273 blood donation centers in 17 Wings (states). This idea helped to bridge this coun-try through a challenging time. On May 6, the North Carolina Wing initiated its first Pulse Lift blood drive, working closely with the American Red Cross. This made the NCWG the 16th Wing to participate. With this introduction, every squadron in the NCWG has a new opportunity to con-tribute to CAP’s Missions for America by hosting an OPL in their area.The American Red Cross is well organized and han-dles everything involved in the blood drive. Participat-ing squadrons are responsi-ble for getting the word out about the drive, identifying an appropriate donation site, and assisting the ARC during the drive itself. Po-tential donors can call or go to the American Red Cross web site to make appoint-ments or walk into the blood donation site during sched-uled events.

That means it is time for the 3rd Annual Christmas in the Town of Bermuda Run on Sunday, Dec. 3 from 2-5 p.m. rain or shine at the Town Hall Gazebo in the Kinderton Business Park located on Kinderton Boulevard.What started as a sim-ple hometown event has become a treasured tradi-tion in the community. The fun-filled family-friendly afternoon will begin at 2 p.m. with the arrival of the town's own Santa and Mrs. Claus riding in a horse-drawn carriage, escorted by the Smith Grove Fire De-partment, the Davie High School Marching Band, and the Davie High School Dancing Boots. Children may visit with Santa and Mrs. Claus in their cottage, a perfect spot for family holiday photos. Activities for children run throughout the day and include “Reindeer Games” on Snowball Field. At “Let-ters to Santa,” children may write a letter to Santa and mail it to the North Pole. In turn, each child will receive a response in the mail from Santa’s elves.

Walking around this new campus, passion radiates from his demeanor.“I’m a veteran; I served three years active duty in the Navy and six years re-serve,” he said. “And I’ve been homeless myself twice in my life. I know what it’s like to not have. I know what it’s like to be hungry. I know a lot of those woes from personal experience.“So I knew I wanted to do something about this, I just didn’t know what that was. And it’s become so much bigger than I origi-nally thought.”It’s often difficult for veterans to access full ser-vices from the Veterans Affairs, or VA, unless they have an extreme case, leav-ing many stuck in the mid-dle with little support.Bridging GapsMotivated by his own experiences, Smith sought to find a solution that would fill the gaps.“I said I want to do what I can to impact that,” Smith said. “I can’t change the system, but I can at least make a difference with those people that I’m work-ing with.“I wanted to figure out a way to bridge gaps across county lines. I don’t like this division of color and politics. People need to fig-ure out how to work togeth-er and come together. When you have these differences, the people you say you serve become the victims of what you sit around the table and meet about. That Jime Moore listens as Kevin Smith talks about the Veterans View Intake Center in Mocksville at the ribbon-cutting ceremony. The ribbon is cut for the Veterans View Intake Center, housed in the for- mer Autumn Care campus on Duke Street in Mocksville. A greenhouse will not only provide the veterans with activities and skills, the produce grown there will be used to feed them year round. Veterans ... Area residents attend the ribbon cutting sponsored by the Davie County Chamber of Commerce. - Photos by Meredith Ratledge A room inside of the facility. Members of the Davie High JROTC Color Guard take part in the ceremony. part doesn't feel good. Be-cause I’ve been a victim of those same circumstances.”As he continued to share his vision with community members, he was able to gain more traction and sup-port. “This project really got started when I was invit-ed to a friend's house in Mocksville a few years ago. We talked about this dream I had, and a Realtor ended up telling me about the for-mer Autumn Care property. Long story short, the good Lord aligned the stars, and we were able to close on the property in 2021.”Setbacks to Blessings Though they encoun-tered a few setbacks in de-veloping the facility, Smith said this turned into a bless-ing.“Last winter, we had the pipes freeze, creating water damage, which caused a lot of building delays. But in this time, we learned that other things still needed to be addressed with the shel-ter.”Throughout this process, Smith has been warmed by the outpouring of encour-agement he continues to receive.“My passion is now fu-eled even more by the sup-port that we have received. Because I want the commu-nity collectively to create a model that concerns not only the veterans but also the folks in the communi-ty that we can touch. And that oftentimes will include nonveterans. We’re going to utilize our services to reach out as far as we can, and help as many as we can, and go from there.”The model that the cen- ter has adopted is certainly aspirational, providing a number of resources to its residents:• Homelessness and Housing Services: VVIC provides housing assis-tance and support services to veterans who are home-less or at risk of becoming homeless. This includes emergency shelter, transi-tional housing, and perma-nent housing solutions.• Mental Health Ser-vices: This includes ther-apy, counseling, and med-ication management, with specialized services for PTSD, depression, anxiety, and other conditions.• Substance Abuse Treatment: VVIC provides substance abuse treatment and support services for veterans struggling with addiction.• Healthcare Services: These services include pri-mary care, specialty care, and dental services, as well as health education and dis-ease prevention programs.• Justice Center: Legal assistance and advocacy services are available to veterans who are involved in the criminal justice sys-tem.• Education and Vo-cational Services: VVIC offers educational and vo-cational training programs to help veterans build new skills and pursue new ca-reers.• Entrepreneurial Sup-port: Support and resources are offered to veterans who want to start or grow their own businesses.• Nutrition and Agricul-ture Services: VVIC pro-vides nutrition education to help veterans and their families access healthy food options. It also offers training programs in ag- riculture and sustainable farming.Once fully operational early next year, VVIC will include rooms for nearly 70 residents. The campus will include a greenhouse, library, cafeteria, laundry, an incubator space with conference rooms for local businesses and startups, as well as a coffee and sand-wich shop.The greenhouse, in par-ticular, will be a central tool. Equipped with several hydroponic towers, it aims to feed the facility with fresh produce year-round, as well as create an educa-tional resource for the com-munity. The center will partner with Davie County High School and Davidson-Da-vie Community College to develop a culinary arts pro-gram that utilizes the green-house’s produce, making it a learning tool for veterans and students. Excess pro-duce will be sold at farm-ers' markets and donated to the Second Harvest Food Bank. The greenhouse was completed by Davie Con-struction Co.The potential doesn’t stop there, as Smith plans to host workforce develop-ment training for the res-idents, including continu-ing education courses in carpentry, electricity, and tourism. This investment in the residents aligns with the goal of helping veter-ans build a better future for themselves.Adjacent property will house tiny homes for res-idents ready to enter the transitional phase of their time at VVIC. While in independent housing, resi-dents will gain more free-dom while maintaining nearby access to the sup-port and services they need. This will prepare them for the next stage in life to ul-timately move off-site, he said.Community Celebration At a ribbon-cutting cer-emony in late September hosted by the Davie Coun-ty Chamber of Commerce, numerous family mem-bers, friends, community members, and leaders were eager to show their admi-ration and support. As part of the celebration, Rolling Thunder NC-6 donated flags to VVIC and conduct-ed a flag-raising ceremony. Freightliner’s Ride of Pride trucks recognizing each branch of the military were on hand to honor the veter-ans. Brian Mobley, veterans employment consultant for the N.C. Department of Commerce, stated: “This is a unique facility in North Carolina and a model we can spread across the state.”Smith expressed his gratitude for the outreach, love, and support that he has received from Davie County. “From the very begin-ning, you have welcomed us with open arms and made us feel like family. Your genuine care and ded-ication have truly touched our hearts. At VVIC, we believe that building strong relationships is essential in making a positive impact on the lives of veterans and their families.” Many of the staff and volunteers at VVIC have personal connections to veterans or are veterans, which motivated them to get involved. Their person-al experiences also make them better equipped to connect with the residents and understand their needs.While it can take months to receive a living place-ment at the VA, the VVIC aims to process initial medical and physiological screenings in one day. By the time a new resident wraps up their welcome tour of the campus, they’ll be ready to move in.Looking ahead to the coming weeks and months, Smith is seeing his dreams materialize as the center begins to welcome its first residents.A handful of veterans are being brought on-site as initial residents. They have skill sets that will help get the facility up and running and include plumbers, elec-tricians, and kitchen staff. They will also help build the temporary transition-al housing on the adjacent property so that it’s ready in early January.As Smith reflects on the center’s story so far, he smiles, noting, “This has been lots of hard work, but more blessings are on the way.” The VVIC is hosting a black-tie winter gala and fundraiser Feb. 3.

Certain sights and sounds are ingrained in the holiday season, from twin-kling lights to carols piping over retailers’ sound sys-tems. Amid the shelves of hol-iday wares and delicacies, fruitcake makes its annual appearance.Fruitcake, sometimes referred to as plum cake or Christmas cake, can be prepared in various ways. However, a dense bundt-type cake dotted with dried, candied fruit and often soaked in rum or brandy has become the standard. Loathed or loved, sel-dom anything in between, fruitcake is typically mocked as the ultimate re-gift. But just like Charlie Brown’s scant Christmas tree, which was initially mocked, it’s time to see fruitcake in a new light. Consider these fruitcake fun facts.• The texture of fruitcake can vary from cake-like to more of a sweet bread like brioche. Italians dig into panettone, Germans delight with stollen and Jamaicans serve black cake. • The first fruitcakes weren’t eaten. According to historians, fruitcakes were initially made by ancient Egyptians, who tucked the desserts into the tombs with their dead so a sweet treat could be enjoyed in the af-terlife. • Fruitcake gained pop-ularity as military rations, as everyone from Roman soldiers to Crusaders found fruitcake provided a di-verse array of nutrients and an energy boost in battle. Fruitcake also stores well, which can be beneficial for military personnel in battle.• Fruitcake seemingly is indestructible. While it likely cannot last forever, Tastemade says if a fruit-cake is kept in an airtight container and stored in a dark, cool place, it could be reheated years after being baked. Starch crystals and dried fruit in the cake will release stored water when warmed, rehydrating the cake.• Historical accounts in-dicate Romans were among the first people to eat fruit-cake, which they might have enjoyed as early as 100 A.D. A version called “satura” was made by mix-ing stale bread with pine nuts, pomegranate seeds, raisins, and then soaking it in a barley mash and an alcoholic beverage brewed from honey.• Fruitcake became a popular dish to serve at British royals’ weddings. Queen Victoria, Princess Diana and Prince William served fruitcake at their re-ceptions.• The Smithsonian Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C. has a fruitcake on display. It trav-eled into space on Apollo 11 in 1969, but was never eaten. • Seth Greenberg, who worked in his family’s New York City bakery, attests that fruitcake is delicious when made with the right ingredients. The neon-col- ored, dry and overly sweet fruit that many bakers use is the problem with poor cakes. But proper ingre-dients like brandy, glace cherries, apricots, figs, and dates can make for a deli-cious fruitcake.• The average fruitcake weighs between two and three pounds. However, the heaviest fruitcake on record, according to “The Guinness Book of World Records,” came in at 9,596 pounds. Despite the hefty weight of this cake, it’s only around 92 to 160 cal-ories per serving.Regardless of its unfa-vorable reputation, fruit-cake remains an unwav-ering holiday tradition. The website Serious Eats reports that more than two million fruitcakes are sold each year. TF23C567 Some fun facts about fruitcake Eggnog, the holiday milk- and egg-based con-coction is tasty on its own, or it can be dressed up with other flavors and spiked with a favorite spirit.Indulge in these facts, courtesy of Mental Floss, Fact Site and Tastemade.• Eggnog originated in the medieval period and was known as “posset,” a hot, milk-based drink made of spices and wine. Even though posset could be a cocktail, it was used as a remedy for colds and flu.• Milk, eggs and sherry used in the early recipes were difficult to come by, so when eggnog first ap-peared it was a drink only the wealthy could enjoy. That changed when egg-nog was popularized in the American colonies, where dairy products and liquor were readily available.• Entymologists believe “eggnog” stems from the word “noggin,” which re-fers to small wooden mugs often used to serve strong ale, known by the slang word “nog.”• In the Medieval period, it was risky to drink milk straight because it wasn’t pasteurized. Eggnog con-tained alcohol so it would kill harmful bacteria.• A typical homemade version of eggnog has roughly one egg per serv-ing. However, commercial eggnog is regulated by the FDA and can only contain 1 percent of the product’s final weight in egg yolk sol-ids. That stems from fear of raw egg and salmonella.• President George Washington enjoyed serv-ing eggnog at Christmas, and had his own special recipe, according to the Old Farmer’s Almanac. • There is no right or wrong alcohol to use when preparing eggnog. Distilled spirits like rum, sherry, co-gnac, and whiskey all have produced suitable eggnogs.• Individuals concerned about eggs or milk in egg-nog can enjoy a vegan rec-ipe made from nut milk. Eggnog (George Washington’s original interpretation)1 quart cream1 quart milk1 dozen tablespoons sugar1 pint brandy1⁄2 pint rye whiskey1⁄2 pint Jamaican rum1⁄4 pint sherry Eggs (Washington forgot to include the number of eggs, so home chefs can improvise or use six, which seems to be the standard in traditional recipes).Mix liquor first, then separate yolks and whites of eggs, add sugar to beaten yolks, mix well. Add milk and cream, slowly beating. Beat whites of eggs until stiff and fold slowly into mixture. Let sit in cool place for several days. Taste frequently. Tip: Today’s recipe makers may want to set the eggnog in the refrigerator as the “cool place” of choice. TF23C553 Commercially produced vegan eggnog offerings are now more widely available.• One of the more no-table flavors in eggnog comes from the use of nut-meg, a fragrant spice made from grinding the seed of the nutmeg tree.

From the stage, the NC Brass Band gloriously resounded in guests’ ears as we filled our luncheon plates from the seriously delicious and generous buffets. Held in the conference center at High Point University, President Nido Qubein opened the 34th annual Thanksgiv-ing luncheon, hosted by Rotary, with an attitude of grati-tude – a thank you to all those who value service before self. The gobbler was the best I’ve tasted – the ol’ bird was a wise guy and stuffed plum full of sage wisdom. And to downplay the turkey leg, Qubein went straight for the giblet – it’s all about the heart. Our hearts. “We must re-member all that is received with-out forgetting.” The buffet was well executed. There must have been six or more lines set up to feed well over 200 guests. The main entrée was a sa-vory baked bird with the delight-ful addition of freshly cooked, sweet apples. Served alongside were mixed salad greens topped with chopped marinated and roasted beets, oven-tossed, her-bed potatoes, and fresh Brussels sprouts in a savory sauce. Talk about a perfectly curated meal. All was followed by slices of sweet pie already in place on our table. The event couldn’t have been any nicer, nor could the abundance and generosity. While gobbling down the savory morsels, guests enjoyed songs from Jane Herlong, an award-winning professional singer/songwriter. Then an inspirational talk was shared by burn victim, Allison Massari, after which, there wasn’t a dry eye in the room. Profound words. But before a single bite of food touched our lips, we bowed our heads in reverence to God, to show respect and express our thanks. Grace was bestowed upon us by lead pastor, Rev. Lara “Willis” Greene from First United Meth-odist Church in downtown High Point. “Gracious God, thank you for embracing us as your children and loving us with an everlasting love. We come this day with grateful hearts. We give you thanks. For your stunning creation and the beauty of the world. For the gifts of intellect and speech, science and medicine. We give you thanks. For joys that lift our spirits and challenges that make us grow and for surprises that keep life intrigu-ing. We give you thanks for family, traditions, and special memories. O Lord, we gather at these tables giving thanks for all that we have and all that we are. Bless the food be-fore us, the hands that prepared and harvested it, and the earth that nurtured it. May this time together fill our hearts, strengthen our ties, and give us peace. And God – you’ve given us so much. Mercifully grant us one thing more… Grant us – a grateful heart.”Friends, if you have the desire to give back to those in need, enjoy making a difference in the lives of others, and have extra time on your hands, please consider joining a local service organization.

The War Eagles found themselves in a brawl in the Nov. 21 season opener against visiting Lexington. Davie shrugged off Lexington’s torrid outside shooting in the first By Brian PittsEnterprise Record After starting 7-0 in dual team matches, Davie’s wrestling team rolled the competition in its first tournament action of the season. In the Black Knight Gobbler Classic at North Davidson on Nov. 22, the War Eagles produced eight champions, piled up 270 points and outdistanced the runner-up by 81 points. Southeast Guilford had 189, followed by Oak Grove (107.5), Morehead (97.5), North-ern Guilford (92.5), West David-son (92), North Davidson (90) and East Wilkes (71). “It was a tournament where we could put multiple people in differ-ent weights,” coach Josh Stanley said. “It was the first tournament like that for us, so it was fun.”Freshman Stephen Jacobs (3-0 at 113), junior Cayden Glass (3-0 at 120), sophomore Tiaj Thao (3-0 at 126), sophomore Andy Davis (3-0 at 138), junior Brett Foster (4-0 at 144), senior Hunter Testa (4-0 at 175), senior Brysen God-bey (4-0 at 215) and junior Ryder Strickland (3-0 at 285) claimed first places in their weight classes. Foster’s 11-0 record is abso-lutely absurd when you consider this is his first season on the mat since his eighth-grade year at North Davie. He missed the past two years with injuries. Stanley had a semi-gripe about how Foster has made short work of everybody so far. While some War Eagles make sure they get in some calis-thenics before putting away their foe, Foster has simply refused to go six minutes while recording 10 pins and a forfeit. “I told him to string the match out a little bit and let’s get his gas tank right,” Stanley said with a laugh. “He’s not one to let guys hang around. He likes to go Mike Tyson-mode and go for the home run swing. Some will work on softening guys up and work on their stuff. That’s something I’m trying to get Brett to do. Go out there and knock some rust off. Go out there and get some minutes on the mat is what I would like to see, but Buddy Lowery (Davie’s coach from 1976-2019) does not like that, either. He would tell him to pin and get out of there.”Testa is also 11-0. At North Davidson, he had three pins and a Girls find a way, beat Lexington Davie wins Gobbler Classic Please See Classic - Page B3 By Brian PittsEnterprise Record CJ Coleman, a sophomore move-in from Missouri, buried 7 of 9 shots and scored 19 points in his Davie debut. Freshman Ben Reid collected 18 points and eight rebounds in his Davie debut. Jake Runge, who attended Ellis Middle but spent last year at Quality Edu-cation Academy before returning to Davie for his freshman year, put up 13 points, including eight in a span of three possessions in the fourth quarter, as the War Eagles tore through visiting Lexington 71-34 in the Nov. 21 opener. Whoa. Davie JV boys bas-ketball coach Tracey Arnold has more talent than he was expecting in 2023-24. Reid converted 6 of 8 field goals. When Runge went crazy in the fourth, he hit back-to-back 3-pointers before scoring as he was fouled. “CJ plays two and three,” Arnold said. “He can play small forward and sometimes I run him at the point. He handles the ball well. He’s a transition player. His game is getting out in the open floor; that’s where he turns his game on. He can go get it. He came off the bench and said he did not care about starting, so he’s got a real good attitude as far as being a team player.“Ben he’s a promising fresh-man (at 6-foot-4). He’s one of the future players on varsity. I’m trying to get him ready for the next level.“I was not expecting (Runge) to come back to Davie. He’s a sharpshooter. He can shoot the lights out of it.”The War Eagles surged to a 29-18 halftime lead, but the real fireworks came in the second half. Coleman and Reid accounted for 16 of 20 points in the third, when Davie pushed the margin to 49-27. Davie continued to pour in on in the fourth. “We started off slow, but we picked it up in the second half,” Arnold said. “I really did not know what to expect; we’ve got a lot of freshmen.” Arnold has nine freshmen, including Braxton Bowling (six points, three assists against Lex-ington), Cam Knox (three points), Ty Greene, Jayden Warren (four points, three steals), Aiden Hor-ton, Brice Wilson and Ian Patton. The roster includes Brady Val-lance (four points), Colson Sink (two points), George Sakai (two points), Noah Tysinger and Jack-son Sulecki. “Colson is a hard worker,” said Arnold, who will be missing an injured Sulecki until the middle of December. “Jackson hurt his wrist.”Arnold’s new assistant coach is Daniel York. JV basketball wins opener by 37 Boys hold off Lexington for Game 1 win half, overcame a halftime deficit and rallied for an 82-72 victory. “The people came and sup-ported and we rose,” coach Josh Pittman said. “I think it’s a good start for us.”How intense was this noncon-ference game? There were five technical fouls (three on the Davie side, two on the Yellow Jackets), including a second-half dust-up that resulted in three Ts. “We were not stepping up to the challenge of the way they were playing (in the first half),” Pittman said. “They were playing physical, scrappy, hard, holding, and that’s what’s going to happen when we play. If you let us play finesse, we’re going to beat you by 20. If you play physical, you push and you hold, we have to adjust to that. I will say, last year we might’ve lost that game. But tonight we maintained a lead in the second half. We got through adversity and pulled out a good win.”Junior big man Jackson Powers produced a splendid line of 16 points, 11 rebounds, five steals, three assists and three blocked shots. He can shoot the 3 with anybody, but he mostly operated down low in this one. “He is shifty,” Pittman said. “With the addition of (Calvary transfers) Bryson (Mickey) and Gavin Williams and the way the other kids shoot the ball, it’s going be important for Jackson to get Please See Boys - Page B5 By Brian PittsEnterprise Record It wasn’t always pretty and there’s much work to be done, but the green-as-green-can-be Davie girls basketball team found a way in the season opener against visiting Lexington on Nov. 21. In a whistle-happy game that lasted one hour, 42 minutes, the War Eagles did what they had to do to claim a 46-38 decision. “Lexington was a good oppo-nent to get the freshman jitters out,” coach Lindsey Adams said. Both teams got off to a slow start. Adams seethed at Davie’s shot selection - a team that played four freshmen, one sophomore and two seniors would finish 1 for 12 from 3-point territory - and called a timeout to refocus her troops. “We took too many 3s early and had to settle down,” Adams said. “We have shooters.

But that major was over an elite freshman from Northern Guilford, Jack Harty. “Harty is the Greensboro College coach’s son and he’s a big-time kid,” Stanley said. “I think he’s been at 165 and I was not expecting him at 175. It looks like he was chasing Hunter, which is amazing and is something we want to see more of. He looks like a college kid. He went out smiling against Hunter and Hunter was in a dogfight. If the kid was a lit-tle older, he probably hangs a little more, but Hunter is just on a tear. He got the guy tired and kind of did what he wanted to do. (Harty) wanted it, he’s a scrapper, so that was a fun one to see. It’s the first time Hunter has been pushed at all.”Another marquee win came from Glass, who de-cisioned a defending state champ from Morehead in the finals. Eli Horton won the state as a freshman at 106, but Glass proved too much and moved to 9-0 on the season. “(Glass and Horton) train together a lot and we knew that was going to be a scrappy one,” Stanley said. “Cayden beat another tough kid, too. If we had anybody that had to wrestle, it was probably Cayden.”There’s no shortage of gaudy numbers in Davie’s lineup. Jacobs is 7-1 with seven straight pins. “He’s put in a lot of work, wrestling a lot of club stuff,” Stanley said. “He has proba-bly proven more to himself Classic ... By Brian PittsEnterprise Record At the beginning of the season, North Davie 11th-year wrestling coach Jamey Holt wasn’t sure whether the Wildcats could continue their powerful tradition. He’s delighted to say he might have been wrong. The Wildcats, who experienced their only losing season in the first year of the school (6-7 in 1980-81), are having By Brian PittsDavie Enterprise Record The Ellis girls basketball team added to its cartoonish dominance when it faced North Davie and Selma Burke. The outcome at North Davie was a predictable 55-21 victory on Nov. 16. De-spite missing one of their top players in Gracyn Coleman, the Jaguars dazzled during a 41-point first half. Gracie Shore (28) fell one point shy of Emma Slabach’s single-game scoring record from the 2013-14 season and raised her season av-erage to 20.5. Olivia Smith By Brian PittsEnterprise Record After South only man-aged a 30-25 halftime lead against visiting West Rowan on Nov. 16, coach Germain Mayfield absolutely ripped into his boys during the break. The Tigers took May-field’s message to heart, and they threw nothing but haymakers in the third, lead-ing to a 68-37 victory. Noah Dulin, Draeton Nance and Cam Holland provided the offense during a 26-3 run in the third that crushed West’s spirit. “We played terrible in the first half, and we had a come to Jesus moment at the half,” Mayfield said. Nance and Dulin finished with 29 and 21 points, re-spectively. Holland had nine and Tate Sechrest five. Wil-liam Martin and Anderson Branham had two each. SD 58, ND 30South was missing a 24.4 scorer at North Davie on Nov. 20 - Nance was vacationing at Walt Dis-ney World - but it was still business as usual for the unbeaten Tigers. Dulin and Martin com-bined for 30 points in the than he has to us. He is final-ly realizing he belongs out there. (Moving him down a weight class) might be something we look at when (106) turns to 108.”Thao is 8-0 with eight pins as sophomore. “He’s at the point where he’s teaching a lot in the room,” Stanley said. “He’s helping guys and girls. He hasn’t been thrown to the wolves too bad yet. Last year he was at 113. We’re worried about his strength level at 126, so that has kind of yet to be seen. But he is doing it right now.”Davis is 10-0 as a soph-omore. “Nobody really knows about him yet, but he can wrestle at the state level,” Stanley said. “He faced the first adversity he has seen (in the finals), but he broke it open and that’s obviously what we wanted to see.”With three pins at N. Davidson, Godbey is off to a 10-1 start at 215. “He’s an athlete - it’s just about his approach to the match a lot of times,” Stan-ley said. “He wrestled a kid from North Davidson, and the first time (on Nov. 18) it was a close match. This time he put it on him pretty good, just because he was not roll-ing around on top. Brysen is a good takedown kid. If he takes you down and does not get caught in junk roll-ing around on the mat, he’s pretty hard to beat.”After pinning two of three guys in Welcome, Strickland is 10-0 at heavy-weight. “Football does a lot for his confidence and strength,” Stanley said. “Everything goes back to football for him. You see a swagger about him. He had a big overtime win that was a test for him. He had not been in a full match in a long time. To be a successful heavyweight, you need to win those 2-1 matches and those overtime matches and he is showing that.”No one in the room has a tougher practice partner than Strickland, who often tangles with assistant Caleb Spurlin, one of two three-time state champs on the coaching staff. “Caleb has been putting it on him a little bit, and Ryder’s enjoying having him as a partner,” Stanley said. With a laugh, Stanley added: “I think (Spurlin goes 100 percent) in bursts. He’s a grown man on Ryder, so Ryder is trying to catch him. But you’ll see Ryder get in on him and you’ll see coach having to turn it up.”When Spurlin was asked about the practice sessions, he said: “I’m trying to get Ryder in positions where he can excel. There’s a time where you want to beat on them and give them a harder look. You want to get them in positions they’re going to be in in matches and under-stand them. I’m making him work for it. You just can’t give it to them in spurts; I definitely go hard.”Davie placed 10 guys in the finals as sophomore Elliott Gould (2-1 at 157) and freshman Kelly Gan-non (2-1 at 113) finished second. Finishing third were freshman Jack Bost (4-1 at 106), sophomore Jamarius Pelote (4-1 at 150) and se-nior Luke Tehandon (4-1 at 126). Sophomore Braxton Hunter (132) and soph-omore Maddox Creason (175) both went 2-2. North adding to storied wrestling tradition weekly fiestas. “They’ve surprised me for sure,” said Holt, who improved his ca-reer record to 107-21 with a 63-42 road win over South Davie on Nov. 20. North (7-1) rolled up nine pins against South (2-7). They came from Chris Gonzalez (76), Dominic Ishuin (83), Jacob Sides (120), Taylor Shenberger (138), Jack Greer (145), Isaac O’Toole (152), Jaden Dillard (170), Nathan Smith (220) and DJ McCaskill (250). Preston Young (113) took a decision as North extended its winning streak to six. McCaskill was back at heavyweight after missing five matches with an injury. “Getting DJ back at heavy-weight helped for sure,” Holt said. Holt also pointed to Smith, Gonzalez, Ishuin and Travis Duggins, who got a forfeit at 90. “Nathan was very unself-ish for bumping up to 220 to get a better matchup,” he said. “He was giving up about 30 pounds, but he wrestled hard, hit a nice double leg and took him straight to his back for the pin. “Chris and Dominic down low have been great at getting us off to a good start. “Travis has been a pleas-ant surprise at 90. He’s a first-year eighth grader, but he’s learning on the fly and winning some matches.”South’s winners were Zion Lyons (pin at 126), Dreighton Lunnerman (pin at 132), Caleb Edwards (pin at 160), Rico Evans (injury default at 98) and Jack Nail (disqualification at 106). North forfeited to South at 182 and 195. North has a three-match winning streak in the series. Ellis 90, Selma 12After falling to West Rowan, Ellis came back with a vengeance at Selma Burke on Nov. 20. Henry Butler, Grayson Daugherty, Ayden Davis, Daniel Hennessey, Allen Moxley, Finn Sink, Luke Hannah, Tristan Lash, Gar-rett Whitaker and Austin Eggers recorded pins as the Jaguars (5-3) won for the fifth time in six matches. Carter Hoots, Jackson Strader and Taylor White won decisions. Martin earns high praise from South coach first half, when South raced to a 36-16 lead. With his brother in Flor-ida, Dulin carried a big-ger load and poured in 23 points. Martin added 16 as South pushed its record to 10-0. Dulin is averaging 16.6. Martin has made a phenomenal jump since his seventh-grade year, av-eraging 11.4 after scoring less than a point a game a year ago. Other South points came from Branham (6), Aiden Houser (4), Sechrest (3), Owen Parker (2), Paxton Lewis (2) and Holland (2). “(Martin) is role player and he will do whatever his role calls for at that time,” Mayfield said. “If you need him to score, he will score. If you need him to rebound and play D, that’s what he’s going to do. Or just run around and set screens. He is the ultimate teammate. He can average 20 a game if that’s what we needed him to do. Most of his damage is around the paint, but I can play him from the one to the five and be just fine.”The 3-6 Wildcats got their points from Edarius Oliver (10), Wyatt Har-wood (8), Isaiah Hernandez (4), Nolan Allen (2), Glen Greene (2), Kellan Wiles (2) and Blaze Sanders (2). Selma 57, Ellis 38Ellis dug a deep hole in the first half and couldn’t re-cover against visiting Selma Burke on Nov. 20. The Bears carved out a 33-12 halftime lead and rode the hot start the rest of the way. Brandon Forrest spearheaded a nice rally in the third, scoring 11 of his 16 points to cut the Bears’ lead to 46-34. Bowman Blakley and Cannon Smith helped the Jaguars get back within striking distance. Unfortunately, Selma Burke held Ellis to four points in the fourth and won going away. Blakley finished with eight, followed by Smith with seven and Westen Barefoot with three. Brady Hall and Graham Weaver had two apiece. Back-to-back losses dropped Ellis to 6-4. 10-0 Ellis girls chasing win record was next with 15 points, including three triples. “Gracie was having a stellar performance, rarely missing a shot and dropping in two 3-pointers,” coach Susan Jones said of Shore’s 22-point first half. “Olivia’s shots were falling.”Layla Hazlip contrib-uted six points and seven rebounds. Zoe Summers and Sydney Ward had four and two points, respectively. “Layla continued to hold us steady in the paint,” Jones said. “The stats each game do not show how invaluable she is to us.”For North, Jaynie Patton (10) cracked double figures for the third time. Zariya Oliver had six, Calloway Spillman three and Mabyn Morris two. Ellis 38, Selma 17The Jaguars mashed the gas pedal at the opening tip and didn’t let up until the coach called off the dogs early in the third. They were locked in at tipoff because the first meet-ing was a 10-point game before Ellis pulled away in the second half. This time, Ellis absolutely obliterated the visiting Bears in the first half, taking a 22-0 advan-tage into the locker room on Nov. 20. “Selma Burke was a team that gave us a good run for our money when we first played them (on Nov. 2),” Jones said. “So this time we made a few changes and had the girls ready for a compet-itive start.“(Ten seconds into the game), Gracie picked a pass and threw it ahead to Gracyn, who was already on the way to our basket, getting a quick layup off the assist. (Later in the half), Ol-ivia caught it, stepped back behind the 3-point line and drained it. We never looked back.”Coleman had 11 points and four steals. Smith had 11 points, five rebounds, four assists and three steals. Ha-zlip had seven points, three rebounds and three steals. Shore had seven points, sev-en steals and four rebounds. Summers had two points. The 10-0 Jaguars are winning 51-17 on average and own the second-most wins in program history. They are chasing the record that was set last year (12-4). SD 26, ND 19A 12-9 deficit at the end of the third quarter wasn’t what South Davie coach Julie Snow envisioned when the Tigers visited North Da- vie on Nov. 20. When the teams met Nov. 2, South led 30-12 after the third and won in lopsid-ed style, 32-12. Although South was underwhelming for three quarters, they put it together when it mattered most, scored 17 fourth-quar-ter points and stopped a four-game losing streak. “The first three quarters were so ugly,” Snow said. “But we scored 17 in the fourth and it was awesome.”Allie Cothren hit four straight free throws in the fourth and scored six of her team-high eight points at crunch time. Natalye Keeton (four points) and Miller also provided clutch buckets as South evened its record at 5-5. Sakariah Allison had six points. Sarenity Miller had all six of her points in the fourth. Akiela Young had two. “Natalye hit one basket and two free throws in the fourth,” Snow said. “Ev-eryone was so excited and that gave us the spark we needed. Then Allie going 4 for 4 from the free-throw line was huge.”Meanwhile, the Wildcats (1-9) clearly gave it all they had. They led at the end of the first, second and third quarters. Spillman erupted for 12 points, or six more than her previous high, by draining three 3s. They might have pulled it off had Morris, North’s most important defender, not gotten hurt in the third. “If my five player didn’t get hurt in third quarter, I think we would’ve won,” coach Austin King said. “She bounced her head off the floor. Mabyn was the best defender of the game. She completely shut down their No. 15 player, who is really tall. Defensively, she’s a lot of the reason we were ahead most of the time. She just played super aggressive and got in their face.”Oliver had four points, Zoe Shore two and Patton one. 1484 Hwy. 64 West, Mocksville, NC 336-751-3372 1328733 “Serving Davie County Since 1973” •Brakes • Tires • Batteries • Alignments • Scheduled Maintenance • Complete and Professional Auto Repair Read the news ONLINE ourdavie.com 1107 Yadkinville Road (Located near Post Office and Badcock Furniture)(336)751-7949 TODAY NAILS Professional Nail Care for Ladies & Gents NEW: Shellac in French Tips Specializing in Gel Nails, Pink & White, Acrylic.

He did a wonderful job. He showed a lot of post moves, and that’s what we work on every day.”Powers is a bona fide star, but you knew that already. The news of the night was clearly the addition of Mick-ey. He enrolled at Davie less than a week before the opener. The 6-0 junior guard might not be an athletic wonder, but the dude can play. He’s crafty and savvy and cerebral. He showed his range, he backed his man down and he put up 15 points on 6-of-11 shooting and handed out five assists even though he hasn’t had time to get comfortable in his new surroundings, even though he didn’t check in until late in the first quarter. “He really hasn’t gotten his basketball legs because he was out for about a week and a half,” Pittman said. “Once he gets in shape and we get used to the way he plays and he starts to learn the plays, I think he’ll be able to help us a lot more. (Transferring is) a difficult thing, but the good thing is, he knows most of these guys. They’ve all played together coming up at the Rise. They know each other, so he came in and fit right in with the group.”Four War Eagles scored in double figures, including point guard Coleman Law-hon (14) and Ethan Ratledge (13). Behind Lawhon, Elliott Erlandsson, Powers and Ratledge, the War Eagles came out like gangbusters and drained their first five shots. When Ratledge got Boys ... a steal and passed back to a trailing Powers for a 3, the lead was 11-3 and Lexington called a quick timeout. But give the Yellow Jack-ets credit. After Davie land-ed the big uppercut right out of the gate, they punched Davie in the mouth, hitting five straight 3s to storm to an 18-13 lead. Davie was down 39-31 when Mickey exploded for seven points in the last min-ute of the half. After hitting two free throws, he sank a 3. Then Lawhon got a steal and dished inside to Mickey, who cut Lexington’s lead to 40-38. “He’s a gamer,” Pittman said of Mickey. “I watched him play all summer.”Davie trailed 42-38 at halftime despite 55-percent shooting (16 of 29). The reason: Lexington outscored Davie 24-9 from beyond the arc while hitting 8 of 10 3-point tries. The second half was en-tertaining as well, but most of the moments belonged to the home team. After it was 44-44, the War Eagles converted 10 of 11 field goals to grab control at 65-55. Lexington pulled within 67-63 in the fourth quarter, but Ratledge had the answer, driving and banking it home while drawing a foul. When another Lawhon steal/assist resulted in a Mickey bucket, it was 72-63. The Yellow Jackets had a couple more surges in them. They closed the gap to 72-68, but Mickey assisted Lawhon, who cut inside and converted. After miss-ing five straight from long range, Lexington popped a 3, then banked an and-one Upcoming Games Wednesday, Nov. 29Ellis wrestling at home vs. Mooresville at 4:30South Davie wrestling at Selma Burke at 4:30Thursday, Nov. 30Davie wrestling at Reynolds at 6 Ellis varsity basketball at West Rowan at 4:30Ellis wrestling at home vs. West Rowan at 4:30South Davie basketball at home vs. Mooresville at 4:30South Davie wrestling at Mooresville at 4:30North Davie basketball at home vs. Selma Burke at 4:30North Davie wrestling at Selma Burke at 4:30Friday, Dec. 1Davie JV boys/varsity basketball at Lexington at 4:30/6/7:30Davie wrestling at Southern Slam at Eastside High (S.C.)Saturday, Dec. 2Davie wrestling at Southern Slam at Eastside High (S.C.)Monday, Dec. 4Ellis varsity basketball at home vs. Mooresville at 4:30Ellis wrestling at Mooresville at 4:30South Davie varsity basketball at Selma Burke at 4:30South Davie wrestling at home vs. Selma Burke at 4:30North Davie basketball at home vs. W.

Five made it from the offense, including junior center Ryder Strickland, se-nior quarterback Ty Miller, senior running back Markel Summers, sophomore re-ceiver Ethan Driver and senior receiver Grey Deal. Getting named on de-fense were senior lineman Matty Warner, freshman linebacker Elijah Chaffin, sophomore cornerback Gavin Reese and junior safety Connor Hood. The offensive player of the year was West Forsyth senior running back Caman Chaplin. The defensive POY was Mt. Tabor junior safety Jadon Blair. East Forsyth’s Todd Willert won coach of the year. The following are the Davie athletes who made all-conference in girls ten-nis, volleyball, boys cross country, boys soccer and girls golf. Girls tennis: junior El-liot Newsome, freshman Corbin Drum, sophomore Bailey Aderhold and fresh-man Leah Gibson. Davie’s Collin Ferebee earned coach of the year in the CPC. Volleyball: senior Lau-ren O’Connor and junior Emma Willard. Boys cross country: junior Thomas Essic and sophomore Ethan Lakey. Boys soccer: junior Fe-lipe Flores. Girls golf: junior Kate Sakai. 9 War Eagles all-conference to cut the margin to 77-74. But Ratledge, Ethan Driver and Lawhon extin-guished Lexington’s hopes for an upset by going a combined 5 of 6 at the line down the stretch. Lawhon was an efficient 5-of-8 shooting and added five assists, five steals and four rebounds. Ratledge is coming off a junior year in which he averaged 6.7 points and 7.8 rebounds, but his double-double was breakthrough production. Along with scoring 13 points on 4-of-7 shooting, he cleaned the glass to the tune of 13 rebounds. “Ethan can do it every single time, it’s just a matter of him not being timid to start the game and being aggressive and playing to his strengths,” Pittman said. “He’s strong and he knows he’s strong; he just doesn’t use it all the time. I’m go-ing to stay on him all year long until he gives it to me consistently because I truly believe he’s one of our top players when he’s locked in and ready to work.”It felt like Davie’s depth and versatility played a big role in the win. Pittman kept sending fresh waves of tal-ent at the Jackets. The cup-board was stocked before Mickey and Williams (eight points) transferred in. Now Davie is a CPC contender for many, many reasons. The 6-7 Williams hit 4 of 7 field goals. Adam Brown and Erlandsson had four points each. Braddock Coleman had three points, three rebounds and two steals. Driver had three points, three assists and two steals. Isaac Swisher had two points. Gavin Reese had two assists. Junior Landon King, coming back from a devastating knee injury from the 2022 football season, saw his first varsity action since his freshman year. “The good thing about this team, you’ve got Adam Brown, Ethan Driver, Gavin Reese, Braddock Coleman,” Pittman said. “These guys come in and play within intensity. They might make mistakes, but they play with intensity and they play hard. Their hands were busy, they got key steals and they helped motivate the team to play harder. That’s some-thing we may have been lacking last year that we have this year.“If you’re working and you’re doing what we ask you to do and you play hard, then you’re going to be on that court.”Notes: Davie missed 9 of 12 3s but still shot 59% (32-54) overall. It was a sizzling 29 of 42 on two-point shots. ... Lexington cooled off from deep (9-18 for the game) and shot 38 percent overall. ... Pittman defeated his former school.

B6 - DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Nov. 30, 2023 Continued From Page B1Daugherty, Emmie Burris and Avarie Martin were able to sit out there and shoot to 3, and trying to break that habit has been challenging. They were nervous and when you’re nervous, you revert back to your old hab-its and you just catch and shoot the 3. The first four possessions were catch-and-shoot 3s until I called a timeout and settled them down. We wanted to make backdoor cuts. We knew Lexington was going to overplay. All you had to do was drive and backdoor cut and you’ll get layups all day long. They could not think of the game plan because of the freshman nerves.”The War Eagles gained the upper hand soon after the timeout. When Burris scored, Davie had its largest lead of the game at 23-8. But a team this young is going to have rough stretch-es. Lexington fought back. After going 2 of 8 on 3-point tries in the first half, the Yellow Jackets banged three straight triples and chopped Davie’s lead to 27-24. The Yellow Jackets, though, would clang their last six shots from long range, and Davie managed to find its poise. After Lexington got within 27-24, Martin drove to the hole, drew a foul and hit both free throws. Then there was a beautiful sequence that saw the ball move from Malayka Rankin to Burris to Martin - in rap-id-fire fashion - and Martin finished inside. Moments later, Lexing-ton cut the gap to 31-25. But every time it got close, Davie rose to the moment. Rankin ripped down a re-bound, went right back up and scored as she was fouled. It was 35-29 before Burris dished to Daugherty for a layup. It was 37-31 be-fore Burris drove and passed to Martin, who swished a 17-footer for 41-31 breath-ing room. Davie salted it away by hitting five free throws in the waning moments. “We could have crum-bled, but we kept our com-posure and did what we were supposed to do,” Ad-ams said. Freshman Burris will be a foundational piece for four years. She debuted with 11 team-high points on 5-of-9 shooting, six steals, four rebounds and two assists. “Emmie was being a gamer,” Adams said. “She stepped up as a freshman. Yes, they all had mistakes, but they played through them.”The 5-10 Martin seems to have an enormously high ceiling. Her freshman debut featured nine points, seven rebounds, four blocks and a charge on defense that evoked two thumbs up from the coach. “Avarie is a shot blocker, but she can’t try to block every shot or she’ll get foul trouble,” Adams said. “She’s got to recognize when she can take a charge and when to time it up and block a shot, and then she’ll be a phenomenal defender because you will not know how to go against her. In preseason, she was one of our softest players, so that was huge for her to take that charge.”What about that high ceiling? “Avarie should be a stretch guard by her junior year because of her length and athletic ability,” Adams said. “She’s always been so tall that she stayed in the high post and they put her in the paint to block shots. With the consistent work we are doing in practice and on her own time, she should become someone who can run one through five as a junior and senior.”All-around contributions from seniors Rankin (nine points, six rebounds, five assists, four steals) and Pey-ton Spaugh (six points, five steals, five rebounds, two assists) was expected. Al-though Daugherty struggled with her shot, Adams was encouraged by the fresh-man’s seven rebounds and three assists. It’s only a matter of time before her shots fall. “Madison is the smallest one, but she has kind of shocked me,” Adams said. “In the offseason, she was our best shooter. You did not see that (against Lexington), but she has led the team in 3-point percentage. She is lights out when she gets hot. I think the nerves got the best of her. She could’ve let that affect her defense, but she continued playing and pulled down some big boards even though she’s small.”Notes: Aderhold, a soph-omore, and Vivian Vaugh-ters, a freshman, scored three and two points, re-spectively. ... Although the War Eagles shot 36 percent overall, they were efficient on two-point attempts, go-ing 17 of 37 (45 percent). ... Davie held Lexington to 22-percent shooting (11-48). Girls ...

The Davidson-Davie Community College Board of Trustees has selected Jenny Varner as the next president of the college. The board’s decision was affirmed by the State Board of Community Colleges at its November meeting. Var-ner will serve as the fifth president in the school’s 60-year history, succeeding Dr. Darrin Hartness, who served as president since 2019 and died in July of this year.Varner, who has served as acting president since the death of Hartness, has been at the college since 2008 and was previously vice president for external affairs and executive direc-tor of the college’s founda-tion. In these roles, she led the Davidson-Davie Foun- dation through its years of greatest growth, celebrated the college’s history and milestones including the 50th Anniversary year in 2013, and oversaw the re-naming of the college from Davidson County Com-munity College to David-son-Davie in 2021. She served under two presidents, Hartness since 2019 and Dr. Mary E. Rit-tling from 2008-2018, and was engaged in all aspects of campus decision-making as a member of the senior leadership team. “Jenny Varner brings a unique set of qualifications that will carry the college into the future,” said Dr. William P. Steed, chair of the Davidson-Davie Board of Trustees. “She has been a steadfast advocate for the school for the past 15 years, and has already been instru-mental in helping guide the college through growth and change. She is deeply rooted in not only the fabric of the school but of our commu-nities, and we look forward to furthering the mission of Davidson-Davie under her leadership.”Varner graduated from Duke University with bach-elor’s and master’s degrees in public policy. Prior to coming to Davidson-Da-vie, she worked for U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Dole and for NASPA, the student affairs professional organization. As a college senior, she co-founded and later ran a nonprofit focused on stu-dent leadership. Varner is a Davidson County native and active- ly engaged in the local community, serving on the Lexington Area Chamber of Commerce Board for six years and the Family Ser-vices of Davidson County Board for eight years, as well as various other lead-ership and fundraising roles.“Finding the right per-son to lead the college is an important task, and these candidates all had outstand-ing credentials and career experiences,” said Kevin Firquin, chair of the trust-ees’ presidential search committee. “The commit-tee carefully evaluated the qualifications of each can-didate and reflected on the longstanding commitment Jenny Varner has to the college. She’s in tune with the values and needs of the campus, and her goals for Jenny Varner new president of DDCC the future align not only with the college but with our community as a whole.”The search for David-son-Davie’s new president began in late August, led by Firquin as search com-mittee chair, Steed, Donnie Holt, Cathi Smith and Ken White. The committee gath-ered feedback from faculty, staff and students on char-acteristics they felt were important in a future college president. The search yield-ed more than 60 applicants, which the committee then narrowed to three finalists. The finalists participated in on-campus interviews and open forums with faculty and staff before the David-son-Davie Board of Trust-ees made its final selection.“I have been so fortunate to have worked side-by-side with the most dedicated col-leagues and board members for the last 15 years as we focused on the education and success of our students and the Davidson and Da-vie communities,” said Var-ner. “And now, together, we have a 60-year legacy to uphold as we honor the past, build on our successes, and chart the future of this amazing college.” Jenny Varner Trellis Supportive Care officials announced that they surpassed the carefor-ward Campaign goal by more than $1 million. The public phase of the campaign was launched in May of this year with the goal of reaching $5 million. The aim o was to fund the modernization of the or-ganization’s 25-year-old in-patient hospice care facility, the KBR Hospice Home, as well as two additional pro-grams. The first is a program us-ing enhanced technology to better allow families to visit with patients remotely, and the second is a program de-signed to expand access to care for traditionally under-served populations includ-ing veterans and minority populations. Campaign contributions exceeded $6 million. Beth Forrester, execu-tive director of the Trellis Supportive Care Founda-tion said: “The support we received through this campaign has been noth-ing short of inspiring and heartwarming. Since our inception in 1977 when our founders first conceived of hospice care, we’ve contin-ued to feel a strong presence of support.” Trellis Sup-portive Care is the oldest hospice care organization in the state. “I believe that we touch people in such a way that they want to ensure that same care is available to others in their time of need,” added Forrester.Trellis’ KBR Hospice Home serves hospice pa-tients who have a skilled nursing need requiring short-term around-the-clock care. The Home is also a place for patients when caregivers are in need of a reprieve. In the last year, approximately 800 patients and their families received care at the Hospice Home.“We are grateful know-ing our Hospice Home will remain a beautiful sanctuary for the next quarter cen-tury,” said Linda Darden, president and CEO of Trel-lis Supportive Care. Darden added: “We’ve already seen the impact of the new smart beds, and improvements are under-way upgrading the HVAC with the latest technology to ensure infection control as well as controls in each patient’s room that didn’t exist when we first built. In addition to all the ben-efits of this campaign for those we serve, the support has touched the hearts of everyone within the orga-nization. We appreciate the investment in our future and promise to be exceptional stewards of the gifts we re-ceive.” Beth Forrester and Linda Darden celebrate reaching the careforward Campaign goal.

By Chandler InionsThe Clemmons Courier CLEMMONS - The owner of Clemmons-based Hip Chics Boutique wanted to bring a little joy and sun-shine to passersby of Allen's Cove Shopping Center. Familiar with a Mocks-ville muralist's work, she commissioned him to brighten up her building.Kristina Prysiazniuk opened Hip Chics 16 years ago, and the business has continued to grow. As she explored ways to liven up the exterior of the building, one thing kept coming back to her."I wanted it to be hap-py," Prysiazniuk said. "I want people to ride down this road, and it makes them smile."She decided on a mural that depicts a sunny land-scape full of Gerber Daisies."The sunshine part of it, my mother has always said that you are my sunshine," Prysiazniuk said. "She would come in the morning and say that every day. I say it to my daughter as well."Prysiazniuk and Stacy Mayhew began brainstorm- ing ideas for the mural."One of our employees said that there were some beautiful murals in Mocks-ville and that she would find out who did those," May-hew said.The two discovered that the artist, who previously owned an art studio in Farm-ington, had moved to Balti-more in 2021. Determined to commission his talents, Prysiazniuk reached out to that artist, Bruce White, to explore her possibilities.White is from Win-ston-Salem. He lived in Da-vie County for years, raising a family and creating a life there. The move to Mary-land was precipitated by a professional opportunity for his wife, who works in au-tism research.While White may have physically moved, he left behind a number of murals throughout Davie County.“In downtown Mocks-ville, I have (a mural) on the Station General Store and Tap Room," White said. "On the back of that build-ing, it looks like a 1970s postcard."Over the years, White painted murals all over Da-vie County, but his impact did not stop there. At his studio on Farm-ington Road, he used to host art classes for students of all ages and abilities. White detected an inclined artistic community that was just waiting to step out through those classes, and he spent 13 years working on the Da-vie County Arts Council to expand offerings in the area.After getting in touch with Prysiazniuk, White be-gan a draft that incorporated the boutique owner's vision."Kristina had seen some other murals with flowers," White said. "They want-ed something bright with flowers and a sun. So I did a mock-up, a small painting, and sent it to them."They tinkered with the concept until it was just right, and then White made the trek back down to N.C.For White, it was a wel-comed homecoming. With so much family still in the area, he was able to com-bine business with pleasure, getting to spend time with grandkids, children and sib-lings.He began the mural on Oct. 9, measuring the space and using chalk to outline Prysiazniuk's concept.White worked for 10 days from sunrise to sunset as he brought the image to life. Then, when we would get off, he would jet over to Greensboro, Lexington or even Charlotte to see family.Having spent so much time with White, Prysiazni-uk called him one of the nic-est people she has ever met, and his work is having the desired effect."I cannot begin to tell you the people who have called and said, 'When I drive by there it makes me smile,'" Prysiazniuk said.Mayhew added, "We wanted something bright and happy and cheerful. We wanted to add a little joy … We were hoping people would stop by and have their picture made with the mural."We have seen people taking photos with it and have had people stop and pull over in the nearby park-ing lot and just look at it."Having the art to brighten up her store and the days of Clemmons commuters, it's easy for Prysiazniuk to look at White's mural and think: mission accomplished. nificant community impact over the past 10 years.Philanthropy Phil is ready to help again. Af- ter reading that ID is close to the finish line of the $3 million endowment goal, he talked with his daugh- ter Phyllis, who is a senior preparing to graduate and attend college. Phyllis is up for the task of sharing in-formation about ID and en-couraging the community to make a donation to ensure that all of her piglets will one day be able to attend college debt free. Philanthropy Phyllis will take us with her as she seeks the advice of high school counselors and explores the offerings at Davidson-Da-vie Community College and the application process for ID. Phyllis has even agreed to thank the businesses who are part of the Employer of Choice Program and the restaurants who have hosted IGNITE Your Appetites.Watch for Philanthropy Phyllis as she visits loca-tions in December. It is her goal that the ID endowment goal of $3 million will be met by Dec. 31. Tohere is less than $200,000 to raise thanks to such community generosity.“Don’t forget,” says Phyllis, “you can give the gift of education by making a donation to IGNITE DA-VIE in honor of someone for Christmas.” Give online at www.da-viefoundation.org/donate, choose IGNITE DAVIE and note the person’s name and address you are honoring in the comments section; or send a check payable to Da-vie Community Foundation to PO Box 546, Mocksville, NC 27028 with IGNITE DAVIE in the memo and with the name and address of the honoree.“What a wonderful gift – honoring a special person for the holidays while edu-cating Davie children. It is a true win win,” Phyllis said.
