Tell us what you think The Literary Corner: Renegade Writer’s Guild It’s time to break some resolutions Please See Renegade ‑ Page 3 By Mike WaldenNCSU At their recent meeting, the leaders of the Federal Re-serve (Fed) indicated they would likely reduce their key policy interest rate in 2024, perhaps multiple times. If the Fed indeed does this, most interest rates in the economy would also drop. This would especially be good news for households wanting to borrow for big ticket purchases, like homes, vehicles, appliances and furniture. Lower in-terest rates would also boost economic growth.The Fed began raising its key interest rate in early 2022 in an attempt to stop the surging inflation rate, which peak-ed at a year-over-year rate of 9.1% in June 2022. Results show the Fed is succeeding. The most recent year-over-year inflation rate for November came in at 3.1%.The Fed has stated on numerous occasions that its goal is an annual inflation rate of 2%. This is close to the infla-tion rate prior to the pandemic. However, the Fed’s stated goal raises the obvious question: Why stop at a 2% in-flation rate? Why not go to zero price inflation, or even better, why not have a goal of negative inflation, meaning prices are falling?These are excellent questions. In today’s column, let me try to explain why the Fed wouldn’t want to pursue a zero or negative inflation rate, and then let you decide if the Fed’s reasoning makes sense.The first reason is based on the Fed’s mandate. Con-gress has directed the Fed to use its tools to accomplish two goals — keeping the economy growing fast enough to maintain low unemployment while also keeping the infla-tion rate low. One of the major tools the Fed uses to meet these goals is moving interest rates up and down. If, as we’ve seen recently, the inflation rate is too high, the Fed will use its power to raise interest rates and slow growth in the economy. As the economy slows and spend-ing moderates, upward pressure on prices will be curtailed. We’ve seen this result in recent years.Conversely, if the economy is growing too slowly, or even more importantly, if the economy is near or already in a recession, the Fed will lower interest rates. We saw this action during the two most recent recessions, the COVID-19 downturn and the downturn during the hous-ing crash in the late 2000s. Yet there’s a potential problem with this policy if the inflation rate is very low: a link between the inflation rate and interest rates. Because lenders must receive payments high enough to compensate for inflation, inflation and in-terest rates move together. That is, if the inflation rate is low, interest rates will also be low. If the inflation rate is higher, interest rates will be higher.The problem is, if inflation is very low — for example, near zero or even negative — then the Fed won’t have much room to lower interest rates to counter a recession. During both the tech recession of 2001 and the housing crash recession of 2007-09, the Fed pushed its key interest rate down 5 percentage points. This wouldn’t have been possible if, for example, the inflation rate was zero and interest rates were 3%.The second concern about very low inflation comes when the inflation rate goes into negative territory, mean-ing average prices are falling. On the surface most would expect negative inflation — technically called deflation — would be a good thing. But actually, economists argue deflation can lead to bad things, such as a recession.How so? There are two possible adverse results. First, if con-sumers observe prices falling, they may reasonably ex-pect the price declines to continue. This expectation could motivate consumers to delay buying products now with the thought the products will be cheaper later. Of course, delays can’t occur for all products, such as necessities like food and energy, but they could result in big reductions in sales of homes, furniture, vehicles and other large pur-chases. Since consumer spending accounts for 70% of the economy, a significant reduction in spending due to falling prices could ironically bring about a recession. For businesses and their workers, falling prices create a second type of problem. Let’s say prices are dropping by 5%. For a representative company, this means the price of the company’s product is down 5%. It also means the prices of inputs the company uses are falling 5%. But what about labor costs? Will workers be happy with a 5% cut in their pay? From a company’s point of view, if everything costs 5% less, workers won’t be harmed by a 5% wage cut. Still, the psychology of a pay cut — even if it doesn’t reduce workers’ standards of living — will like-ly cause many workers to resist. The result may be mass firings, disruption of production and economic turmoil: in short, a recession.There is a final concern many readers will discard, but it does carry some significance. The concern is flaws in the measurement of inflation that result in the inflation rate be-ing overestimated — that is, being higher than it actually is. Due to the challenge of adjusting prices for product im-provements and even for new products, research suggests the official annual inflation rate overstates the actual rate by one percentage point.Hence, another reason for an inflation target rate of 2% is to prevent the actual rate from being close to zero or even negative.So, what do you think? Is there a case for targeting the inflation rate at 2%, as the Fed is doing? Are there legiti-mate reasons for doing this? Or should the Fed go further and attempt to move the inflation rate to zero or even to a negative rate? You decide.Mike Walden is a William Neal Reynolds Distinguished Professor Emeritus at North Carolina State University. Should Fed target 2% inflation rate? Animal CrackersBy Gaye HootsA neighbor told a story of her teenage son and a friend finding a hunting dog stranded in the part of a sunken boat in a nearby creek. The dog had stayed with the boat instead of swimming out and needed care. The boys rescued the dog and took him to a vet, which cost her son $300 as he had ringworm and other health issues. The other boy re-moved the dog’s collar and called the phone number on the collar, leaving a voicemail that they had rescued his dog.The owner called back with the message that taking his dog was against the law, and he was having an inspector investigate. The boys left another message that they were caring for the dog for the owner to pick up.An investigator contacted the boys and set up individ-ual interviews. One boy admitted he removed the collar to call the owner’s number. He was fined $300 for removing the collar. There is an NC law against removing an elec-tronic collar. The neighbor’s son was stuck with the vet bill, but the inspector reviewed it and told him he would now investigate the owner and check his other dogs, as he could be fined if he was not providing proper care for his dogs.Sadly, the boys tried to do a good deed and found it did not go unpunished. Several years ago, a friend had a bat get into her house. She could not flush it out a window and called animal con-trol. The animal control officer removed the bat and asked for proof that her animals were up to date with their shots. Her cat was a few weeks behind resulting in a fine and a trip to the vet for a shot.She told the technician that the cat would bite anyone other than her and told him not to touch the cat without gloves. The tech responded by touching the cat, who im-mediately bit him. The vet demanded that she pay for rabies testing, and shots if necessary, and wanted her to euthanize her cat. They had the cat’s chart labeled not to be touched without gloves, and she refused to have her cat put to death.Another friend had a Dalmatian she kept in a sturdy pen in her yard and kept on a leash when she walked him. A neighbor let his small dog go into her yard without a leash. The Dalmatian jerked the dog under the edge of his pen and roughed him up before the owner rescued it. She was threatened with a lawsuit, but as they were trespassing, it was dropped.Another friend was walking her dog on a leash on the condo property when another dog charged at it and snapped. Her dog barked and rushed toward the dog, and then the attacking dog’s owner left with her two dogs, nei-ther on a leash. She reported the incident to animal control and was furious when he investigated and told her she and her dogs were trespassing. Everyone Has a StoryBy Julie Terry CartnerVisits to the retirement home were a staple in Jaiden’s life, and usually she enjoyed them.. Her group would dance for the dual pleasure of performing and bringing happiness to others. But this week, Jaiden’s heart was just not engaged. Pressures, disappointments, and worries had encroached on her joy, but for the sake of the residents, Jaiden put her feelings aside and introduced her group. Then Jaiden noticed the woman. She was sit-ting on the far right, and when “Christmas in Killar-ney” crooned through the speakers, her entire demeanor changed. The woman had seemed disinterested, but when the Irish ballad began, she sat straighter, leaning forward even. Seconds later she was clapping her hands, and then she started softly singing the words… “It’s nice, you know, to kiss your beau, while cuddling under the mistletoe…” Tears trickled down the woman’s cheeks, even as she smiled and tapped her feet. Watching avidly, Jaiden regretted that this was the only Irish song in the program. She needn’t have worried. At the end of the program, Jaiden went to the woman. “I want you to know,” she said, “how much I en-joyed watching you. It makes such a difference when peo- ple engage in our performance.”“No, thank you,” the woman replied in a soft, lilting voice, a hint of Irish in her speech. “I almost didn’t come, but I’m so glad I did.”“I noticed you really perked up for ‘Christmas in Killar-ney,’ and I just know you have a story to share. Will you tell me?” Jaiden asked.With a smile, the woman replied. “My name is Mary, and I was born in Ireland. My parents had a small farm, but life was a constant struggle. Food. Heat. Provisions. After a poor fall harvest, with the help of our own Father James, they decided to send me to America.“Of course, I agreed,” Mary continued, “I was fifteen and foolish, full of myself and ready to take on the world. Father James and a network of priests helped many young women. Thanks to them, I had a safe passage, a room at a boarding house, a job, and the chance to take secretarial classes. We girls at the boarding home became friends and looked out for each other.” Mary sighed. “Such friends! We thought we’d always be together, but one by one, we married.”Fascinated by Mary’s story, I asked, “Who did you marry and how did you meet him?” With a smile, Mary answered. “My Michael, he swept me off my feet. He came to America from Ireland a few years before I did and had a good job. We met at church. They’d have dances for us there, to give us a chance to meet others in a safe place. One night I was heading to my chair after dancing a jig, and Michal…” here she gave a gentle laugh … “Michael, he didn’t even give me a choice. He walked right up to me, grabbed my hand, and put his other hand on my waist, and twirled me right back out on the floor.” She giggled then. “He didn’t ask, and later, when I asked why, he said, ‘I didn’t want to give you a chance to say no.’ Like I would have! Dark, wavy hair, eyes as green as Ireland’s fields, and a smile – oh, such a smile. He was kind and could always make me laugh.” Mary wiped a tear. We married the next year. We had a good life, raised It’s resolution time again, that time of the year when we promise to do things that deep down in our souls, we know we won’t accomplish. Our minds can really can play tricks on us, convincing us that we can make changes in lifestyles that took years to perfect.And more often than not, we fail. Last year, I tried to make predictions more realis-tic, ones I really thought I could accomplish, and had mixed results. Here they were...I predicted that I would exercise more in 2023. It didn’t happen. It wouldn’t have taken much to out do 2022, but it still didn’t happen. Maybe 2024?I predicted that in 2023, I would drink more beers than in 2022. Mission accomplished. I don’t know whether to be disappointed or proud.I predicted that I would be a bit meaner in 2023, not a lot, just a bit. I was a pussycat, a miserable failure at that goal.I predicted that I would see more live music in 2023. Again, mission accomplished ... somewhat, be-cause I also promised to leave the huge venues behind for the smaller, more intimate local spots. I broke that one with a Billy Strings experience in December in the Greensboro Coliseum. That move did break a resolu-tion, but in a good way. Be careful watching the guy and his band play and sing, they could turn you on to bluegrass music - presented rock and roll style. The crowd was also a fun mix of hippies and rednecks and everything in between.I predicted I would watch less television in 2023. Again, probably a draw. But it’s getting to the point that just about any amount of TV doesn’t leave me with a good feeling about myself. Get off the couch and do something, boy. It’ll make you feel better.I made a resolution to become less political in 2023. Again, a failure. The only way I could have become less political would be to quit voting. I’m not going to do that, although from what I’m seeing on the national stage I may have to hold my nose when I cast my ballot because the candidates just have this off smell about them. The ones that don’t stink don’t have a chance.I also predicted I would write more drivel for Page 2 of the Enterprise Record. Mission accomplished. My only resolution for 2024 is to keep this up, with a bit more nonsense thrown in for good measure.In the world we live in, it helps to laugh at our-selves from time to time.Welcome to 2024.- Mike Barnhardt DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Jan. 4, 2024 - 3 Renegade ... Continued From Page 2four children, and remembered our home country through each other’s eyes. Then, last year, I lost my Michael, and now I’m here. So,” she said, looking into my eyes, “I have my memories, and I have people like you who come with your gifts of time and talent. Thank you.”Sharing her tears with Mary, Jaiden replied, “No. Mary, thank you. I came here today with the wrong attitude. My mind was filled with worries. Then I saw you. I saw your reaction to ‘Christmas in Killarney,’ and then your con-scious decision to enjoy our show. So, I made the choice to dance with my heart. Then hearing your story…it is you who have given me a gift. Thank you, Mary.”“How grand it feels, to click your heels, and join in the fun of the jigs and reels…” January 2, 1924By Marie Craig One hundred years ago: what was it like back then? About the only way to know is to read the old newspapers from that time period. On the Davie County Public Li-brary Website, History Room, you can read all these old papers and learn about past times.In 1924, there were two papers in Mocksville, The Da-vie Record for Republicans, and The Mocksville Enter-prise for Democrats. As I study both newspapers, I find all sorts of interesting items and ads from 1924.The Davie Record for the first Thursday in 1924 fea-tured a front-page article about a man winning a contest by eating 53 hot dogs. Page two was the masthead with C. Frank Stroud, Editor, and the subscription rate of $1.00 for a year. “The year 1924 is with us. This is a presidential elec-tion year and politics will be warm until after the Novem-ber election.” This was during Prohibition. “Prohibition prohibits to a great extent but some folks cannot celebrate the birth of Christ without getting drunk. We are the most civilized, uncivilized people on the face of the earth.” This is a quote from page 2.Here’s an ad for a New Ford Touring Car for $295 at Sanford Motor Co. “This car can be obtained through the Ford Weekly Purchase Plan.”Page three of national news has familiar words. “U.S. Will Furnish Arms for Mexico which may amount to $750,000.” In Paris, a dirigible Dixmude was lost with 47 crew members. Page four had an ad for Mexican Mustang Liniment: “the best emergency remedy for man and beast.” Also on this page is Chapter VIII of the continuing story “The Branding Iron.”On page five, there are many ads, including one for Lydia E. Pinkham’s Compound for women’s “personal problems.” I’ve heard that men learned that the liquid form included alcohol, so they ordered it during Prohibi-tion.The eight pages of this paper contain many more note-worthy articles and advertisements co-mingled. Vicks Va-porub, evidently, has been around forever.In studying The Mocksville Enterprise (eight pages also) to see the differences, I found the January 3, 1924 edition to have more local news on page 1. Rev. S.W. Hall retired from Eaton’s Baptist Church the Sunday before, and his sermon covered much of page one and page eight. Both papers covered comings and goings of Davie resi-dents. “Mr. John Foster is right sick, sorry to note.” A.C. Huneycutt was publisher of this paper, which was also $1.00 subscription per year. The categories of gossip columns featured some locations not mentioned current-ly. Sections were Point News, Stroud School House, and Woodleaf.Both papers listed the death of John Tutterow from the Center community. He had been a Confederate Soldier. Our first 2024 paper will also include the death of a Tutte-row from Center, Nancy, 99. Our sympathy to the family.Bus schedules show that riding a Hudson or Studebaker vehicle from Mocksville to Winston-Salem, 3 choices of times, cost: $1.25. A passenger train schedule was also included in the paper. There were three cafes, three dentists, three doctors, STEVE IJAMES CARPET CLEANING DISCOVER THE BEAUTY OF YOUR CARPET! • Residential & Commercial • Carpet & Upholstery Steam Cleaning • Deodorizing & Soil Guard • Water Extraction Service (336) 492-2645FREE ESTIMATES Locally Owned & Operated SERVING DAVIE COUNTY AND SURROUNDING AREAS(336) 751-2304 MILLEREQUIPMENTRENTAL WINTER IS HERE!

BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT Huneycutt Painting & Home Improvement “Strong relationships with clients have been one of the main factors of my business’s success.” John Huneycutt founded Huneycutt Painting & Home Improvement in 2017. After years of serving as a Director of Christian Education, he took what he thought would be a temporary hiatus from ministry in 2016. To fill his time, he performed small painting and home improvement projects for friends and acquain-tances, all the while believing he would re-enter the ministry field. He acquired painting, repair, and car-pentry skills while growing up on farms in Stanly and Montgomery counties. “As I considered going back into ministry, I contin-ued to add home improvement project requests to my schedule. I was beginning to book out for months into the future. My wife and I prayed about what direction to take, and realized this line of work is also a form of ministry,” said John. “So, I decided to officially name and register my business and focus on full-time paint-ing and home improvement work.” John continues, “Our homes are where we make memories and where we feel safe and at peace at the end of every day. Changing the paint color of a room, updating the flooring throughout a home, or under-taking a complete remodel of an outdated kitchen or bathroom can bring so much happiness and joy. “Individuals and families trust me to come into their lives to make repairs, upgrades, and improvements. I have become good friends with many of my clients over the years, as we have spent time talking and sharing stories with one another while I worked on their home or business,” said John. Having a master’s degree in counseling from seminary, many of John’s clients find him approachable and easy to talk to, in addition to being pleased with his quality of work. “The majority of the project requests I receive are from client referrals or from repeat clients. Someone will often call me after having been given my informa-tion by a friend or family member, who is an existing client of mine. Or I will hear from a client who I did work for several years prior, and they are ready to tackle a new area of their home, like replacing kitch-en cabinetry or changing their exterior paint color. I am honored that my clients trust me in these ways. Strong relationships with clients have been one of the main factors of my business’s success,” said John. One of John’s clients, Robin V., had this to say about her experience working with him in 2023: “John has completed multiple renovations at my home. I am so pleased with his work. He takes care of every detail from start to finish and cleans up after the job is done. Dependable, trustworthy, respectful, an all-around good person. I am looking forward to future projects with John.” While much of the work John does is extensive, like complete room remodels, full interior and exterior painting projects, or adding or repairing a deck, other projects can be smaller scale, like building shelving in a closet, changing fixtures throughout a home, pres-sure washing, or securing a railing to a small stair-case. “I specialize in small projects,” said John.

They push students to pursue and help them to build their dreams. They give of themselves com-pletely.”His colleagues said: “This teacher is that per-son for students and teach-ers. They make all the duties fun, even parking lot duty. Their connection with students is amazing. They bring out the very best in their kids. They are humble. They embody what every teacher should be.”What’s most important, Jones said, is what stu-dents had to say.

Band members perform for the special ceremony, and Will Marrs with parents Lynn and Billy. Dancing boots and cheerleaders perform prior to the teacher of the year announcement. “This teacher is an all-around hard worker, in-side and outside of school. They treat every day like a new day to reset. This teacher is a mentor. They are knowledgeable, caring, helpful and excited. They care about students as peo- ple. They are always there for their students.”Marrs’ parents and grandparents, sister and other relatives were on hand for the ceremony.“This is so far out of my comfort zone,” Marrs said to the students and others in the packed gym. “The reason why I’m here is because I get to spend my days with you guys. You guys are why I’m so proud to be a War Eagle.“I love coming to work every day.” Marrs with Superintendent Jeff Wallace.

By Robert SullivanSalisbury Post After an off-duty police officer, Sgt. Philip Dale Nix, was killed on Satur-day while attempting to stop a robbery at a Sheetz gas station, the N.C. Center for Missing Persons issued a Blue Alert notifying law enforcement personnel and the public statewide that the alleged killers had escaped the scene and were still at large. The NCCMP’s archives show that Saturday’s alert was the first of its kind in the state, prompting some residents to question what a blue alert actually meant.“The purpose of the Blue Alert Program is to estab-lish a quick response sys-tem designed to issue and coordinate alerts following a violent attack upon a law enforcement officer. The goal of a Blue Alert is to provide immediate infor-mation to the public about violent suspects via media broadcasts, and other noti-fication resources to solicit help from the public in the safe and swift apprehension of the suspect,” according to the NCCMP website.The website also stat-ed that the alert would be broadcasted by local radio and television stations, elec-tronic highway signs and lottery terminals to dissem-inate detailed information on the suspects in the hopes that the public will be able to assist. North Carolina General Statute 143B-1023 sets the conditions under which a Blue Alert can be issued. The alert can be issued once the following criteria are met:• a law enforcement offi-cer is killed or suffers seri- ous bodily injury;• a law enforcement agency with jurisdiction determines that the suspect poses a threat to the public and other law enforcement personnel and possesses in-formation that may assist in locating the suspect, includ-ing information regarding the suspect's vehicle, com-plete or partial license plate information, and a detailed description of the suspect, or that a law enforcement officer is missing while on duty under circumstances warranting concern for the law enforcement officer's safety; or• the head of a law en-forcement agency with ju-risdiction recommends the issuance of a blue alert to the Center.According to the NC-CMP, the Blue Alert system began after federal law was passed requiring nationwide Blue Alert: Officer shooting prompts new warning alerts to assist law enforce-ment. The Rafael Ramos and Winjian Liu Nation-al Blue Alert of 2015 was named in honor of two New York City detectives who were killed in 2015. Lue and Ramos were killed by a suspect who posted credi-ble social media threats, the NCCMP website states, and the Blue Alert system was implemented to ensure that information such as threats were given to other law en-forcement agencies to pro-vide advance warning.North Carolina passed the law establishing the state’s own Blue Alert No-tification System in 2015, which outlined the criteria and modeled the alerts after the already existing AM-BER and Silver Alerts.“The Forsyth County Sheriff's Office would like to extend condolences to the Greensboro Police Depart- ment after an off-duty Ser-geant was fatally wounded on Saturday afternoon,” a release said. “Each day, police officers and sheriff's deputies work to serve and protect the communities they call home. Their ded-ication to the community continues even when the shift is over. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Greensboro Police Depart-ment and the family of the fallen officer.”Forsyth Sheriff Bobby F. Kimbrough Jr. added: “May God cover and guide us through these difficult and challenging times."Members of the Davie County Sheriff’s Office also sent their condolences to their comrades in Greens-boro.According to informa-tion from the Greensboro Police Department, three suspects have been arrested in connection with Sergeant Nix’s death. Jamere Justice Foster, 18, Z’quriah Le’Pearce Blackwell, 18, and John Walter Morrison, 28. Each person was listed as being from Winston-Salem.Foster is charged with first degree murder, larceny and conspiracy to commit larceny and is held with no bond.Blackwell is charged with accessory after the fact to first degree murder and is held with a $500,000 bond.Morrison is charged with accessory after the fact to first degree murder, larceny and conspiracy to commit larceny and is held without bond. Additional charges may be forthcoming as the inves-tigation continues.

Easter said about the plan-ning board meeting. It was his understanding was that an acre would be cut from a larger tract for placement of a mobile home.He confirmed that the mobile home is not new, and the owner is looking to locate property.That concerned neighbor Cindy Stevenson, who also outlined some of the prob- lems.“Deny this rezoning of just one acre for an older trailer to be put on it. I don’t think that’s the vision for Davie County to move for-ward,” she said.A house on the property burned and was bulldozed into a hole, she said, and it appears that someone is living in a camper without electricity. “It’s not very attractive and to me, it’s not the vision we should have for Davie County,” Stevenson said, adding that the owners use a creek for a landfill. “It’s been an ongoing controversy with this prop-erty,” she said.Local attorney, Hank Van Hoy, spoke on behalf of another neighbor, Rob-bie McCoy, also asking that the rezoning be denied. The proposal fits the meaning of illegal spot zoning, he said, and “is clearly not con-sistent with your land use plans.”Rezonings, Van Hoy said, should be for the bet-terment of the public, not just an individual or indi-viduals.The board got more sup-port for a denial from its own attorney, Ed Vogler, who also said it would be an illegal spot zoning.Commissioner Benita Finney said she wished that Bledsoe or Vandall had at-tended the meeting, “to get their side of the story.”“At this moment, we’re living in a world in this county where housing is unaffordable, and to even pretend that a housing alter-native would be in the same price range as a mobile home is ridiculous.”After hearing about re-ports of the property condi-tion, the rezoning could be an improvement, she said.“There are a lot of mixed houses on that road which to me, is what Davie Coun-ty is, what Davie County was before we exploded in growth, a mix of mod-ular homes and stick-built homes,” Finney said.Easter said there are oth-er sites along Angell Road that allow manufactured homes, even property across the road from this site. - Maurice Omar Ganda, speeding 90 in a 70, reduced to 79 in a 70, $50, cost; reckless driving, dismissed.- Robin Elyse Goodin, felony larceny of vehicle, dismissed.- E.

ADVANCE - “What Christmas is All About” celebrated 30 years of spreading Christmas cheer in this community.It began in 1993 when two families in the Ad-vance community faced a sad and difficult Christmas. One, a young mother of small children suffered declining health due to cancer.The other, a member of Advance Fire Department, died unexpectedly leaving a wife and two teenage daughters. Talk started at L&S Grocery, a hub for what’s what in Advance at the time, that something should be done to support them. It is impossible to name all those who stepped up to meet the challenge. Some began organizing, others collect-ed gifts, and more donated money. AEverything was in place when the question arose as to how to get These photos show members of the Advance Fire Department and the community learning “What Christmas is all About” while delivering presents and joy.‘What Christmas Is All About’ 30-year tradition continues in Advance everything to the families. The answer was clear, Santa should deliver it and he would do it on a fire truck. On Christmas Eve, 1993, Santa, Mrs. Claus, a North Pole Elf, and a num-ber of local support staff loaded gifts on a Advance fire truck and headed out. The two visits were made and by the end, not a dry eye could be found. Everyone who partic-ipated agreed we will do this again, this is “What Christmas is all about”.This year, for the 30th, time, Santa and his Elves gathered at Advance Fire Departmaent. Everyone as-sembled for the reading of the history of how “What Christmas is All About” began as composed by Lori Carter Gunter and is the historical information used in this article. Everyone then divid-ed into three groups and headed into the community to deliver baskets filled with goodies and a lot of Christmas cheer. Through these 30 years, hundreds have felt Christ-mas love and compassion through a basket, a bag, a stuffed animal, a song or just being remembered by a visit. All those who have made the trip on Christmas Eve will tell you they are the ones who have really been blessed. Just as the Christ child gave himself for us, giving of ourselves to others is truly “What Christmas is All About.” Houses, Decks, Driveways Gutter Cleaning, Roof Wash Losing weight is about more than just dieting.

DISABLED AMERICAN VETERANS CHAPTER #75 OF DAVIE COUNTY 10 - DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Jan. 4, 2024 By Carrie MillerDavie Senior Services Nancy Brewer tickled the ivories one last time.She retired from her volunteer career of more than 20 years as the Davie County Singing Seniors pianist. That final per-formance of 2023 was at Somerset Court of Mocksville. From a young age, Brewer began playing the piano by ear. She took pia-no lessons, but the teacher was so frustrated because Brewer wanted to play the songs her own way, not by the notes printed on the paper. Her parents bought her a beautiful piano, which she played on for the ma-jority of her life, and when Senior Services reopened after the COVID-19 pandemic in July of 2021, Brewer donated that same piano to the new practice space for the Singing Seniors chorus. She started in the Davie County Singing Seniors in January of 2003 when the chorus still met at the Senior Services’ original location in the Brock building. Brewer is known for her spunky disposition and great laugh, in ad-dition to her wonderful piano skills that brought so much joy to everyone who happened to hear her play.During her time with the Singing Seniors, she has played on f stages including Junker’s Mill, nursing homes, the senior center, churches, funeral homes, in homes during the Singing Telegrams, and even the Legion Cem-etery in Cooleemee for Heritage Day for Coolee-mee Elementary students. TheSinging Seniors Chorus and Davie County Senior Services appreciates her many years of volunteer-ing.To learn more about joining the Singing Seniors Chorus, call 336-753-6230.

Poinsettias For The People The Piano Lady retires from senior choir DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Jan. 4, 2024 - B1Sports By Brian PittsEnterprise Record Gracie Wilson is boundless energy, an ever-present smile and impossibly tireless, and her fresh-man story is just wonderful. As a freshman volleyball player at Southern Wesleyan University in Central, S.C., the 6-2 middle blocker from Mocksville came up huge for the Warriors. She was first on the team in sets played (90), solo blocks (26), total blocks (72) and assisted blocks (44). She was second in points (203), third in kills (141) and third in ace serves (14). That’s not all. In the 14-team Conference Carolinas rankings, Wilson was first in solo blocks, eighth in total blocks and 14th in assisted blocks. The runner-up in solo blocks was UNC Pembroke’s Ruby Countryman with 21. Whew. “I was looking for a tall individ-ual who had good grades and had a good amount of potential to play at the Division-II level,” SWU coach Anna Heinz said. “I found Gracie and it’s definitely been a blessing. She definitely stepped up to the plate and filled the role that we needed. I think she started every game. She was going up against juniors and seniors; very rarely was she going up against someone in the same class as her. So for her to be able to compete at that level and excel at that level is tremendous.”Wilson said: “I learned a whole lot from my coach and I feel like I progressed tremendously. When my coach recruited me, she said you will be a big help to this team and stuff like that, but I really did not know that I was going to be starting almost every single game.”Wait. It gets better. Talk about a ridiculously hard worker, Wilson is also a member of the indoor and outdoor track teams, throwing the discus and the javelin. She’s also a top-notch student. “In my recruiting process, I was offered a couple scholarships for track and for volleyball,” Wilson said. “Some schools offered me volleyball, some schools offered me track. I asked some schools if I could do both if I wanted to and all of them said no except for SWU. I talked to the coach and they offered me a spot on the (track) team.”While two sports on top of aca-demics is quite a workload, Wilson wouldn’t have it any other way. “I also have to do volleyball (during track season) because volleyball has a spring training,” she said. “It’s going to be pretty busy, but I’m used to that.”Heinz gushed about her drive (all gas, no brakes) and that sunny personality. “One thing I love about Gracie is you’re never going to hear her complain,” Heinz said. “She’s ready for whatever you ask her to do. The track coach has spoken highly of her. It’s always fun to hear other coaches brag about your athletes, and track is very competitive at SWU. Her family is amazing. Gracie is a sweet indi-vidual who wants to do well in life and strives to be better.”When the 2024 volleyball sea-son rolls around, Wilson will be rejoined by a War Eagle. Davie senior Mikaylah Hutton has signed with SWU. Gracie Wilson a stand out at Southern Wesleyan By Brian PittsEnterprise Record There’s an expression: “When pigs fly.” It aligns with the East Davidson boys basketball team’s story in 2023-24. Over the past 12 seasons, the Golden Eagles have finished 4-15, 8-18, 3-20, 2-21, 6-17, 5-20, 6-17, 4-19, 1-22, 1-13, 0-24 and 3-23. That’s a 12-year record of 43-229.But the perennial doormat has enjoyed a remarkable rebirth this year. The out-of-nowhere Golden Eagles entered the David-son-Randolph Christmas Classic championship game with a 10-3 record - already more wins than they had over the previous five seasons combined (9-101 from 2018-19 through 2022-23). But when East met Davie in the final at Ledford on Dec. 29, when a feel-good story was matched with a red-hot 4-A squad that has produced the most sustained excitement in five years, the un-defeated War Eagles made East look around for ghosts. Faster than anyone could say Jackson Powers’ name, that was that. Davie was infinitely better, 83-36. The 11-0 War Eagles are rid-ing their longest winning streak since a 13-gamer in 2018-19. This is their first 11-0 start since the 2010-11 club opened with the same mark, a team that was led by two future NBA players in Caleb and Cody Martin. The twins were surrounded by older brother Raheem Martin, Nate Jones and Shannon Dillard. Davie charged out to a 31-14 lead in the first quarter. After blitz-ing East out of the gate, though, the War Eagles completely lost focus in the second quarter. They got outscored in the quarter and led 41-27 at halftime. “We let them back in it,” coach Josh Pittman said. “We started thinking about scoring as opposed to continuing to play defense.”In the third, Davie got back to playing at its best. It exploded for 33 points, widened the gap to 74-34 and Pittman emptied the bench for the last 10 minutes. “We had a strong conversa-tion at halftime,” Pittman said. “We stayed locked in all the way through (the third). The guys were really engaged on both ends. They were talking, the ball was moving well, getting layups and good looks. We were playing inside-out if we could not score in transition. It was one of our better quarters.”Powers has been running hot for a while and the junior had a masterful game. He dropped 23 points on East with perfect shoot-ing: 8 for 8 from the field, 3 for 3 from the 3-point arc and 4 for 4 from the foul line. He was a shoo-in for tournament MVP. Junior guard Bryson Mickey was named to the all-tournament team after scoring 15 points on 6-of-9 shooting, including 3 of 6 from distance. “Jackson continues to be hot,” Pittman said. “Mickey was solid. He did not score a lot against West Davidson (in the semifinals), but he facilitated the game.” Pittman was disappointed that no one else from Davie was named all-tournament. Ethan Ratledge had eight points, six rebounds and made 3 of 4 shots. Coleman Law-hon, two weeks removed from his 15-assists game at Alexander Cen-tral, was a passing demon again as he handed out nine assists to go with six points, four rebounds and two steals. “I don’t think it was fair that we only got one on the all-tour-nament team, but they spread it out between the Davidson Coun-ty schools,” Pittman said. “It could’ve been Ratledge and it could’ve been Coleman. Coleman had another (big) assist game. Coleman’s first two games were not as good as his normal, but he got it together (in the final). Ratledge was consistent the whole tournament.”Davie got scoring contributions from 12 players, including Gavin Williams (eight), Ethan Driver (five), Elliott Erlandsson (five), Braddock Coleman (four), Adam Brown (three), Landon King (two), Landon Waller (two) and Cam Owens (two).

In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me.(Psalm 56:3-4) DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Jan. 4, 2024 ‑ B3 By Brian PittsEnterprise Record The Davie girls basket-ball team had all kinds of fun in the Davidson/Ran-dolph Christmas Classic at Ledford. After bullying Thom-asville and West Davidson in the first two rounds, the championship game against East Davidson on Dec. 29 was like a walk in the park, By Brian PittsEnterprise Record In the first two rounds of the Davidson/Randolph Christmas Classic at Led-ford, sophomore Bailey Aderhold showed the out-side-shooting potential that coach Lindsey Adams knew she had when she arrived at Davie as a freshman. In blowout wins over Thomasville and West Da-vidson, Aderhold hoisted 22 3-pointers and sank 11 of them. “Bailey is finding her confidence and finding her rhythm,” Adams said. “It helps when you have Pey-ton (Spaugh) and Malayka (Rankin) being able to drive like they have been doing; that opens up the outside shots to be there. When you have players like Bailey and Madison (Daugherty), you never know which game they are going to be hitting, and then teams don’t know who to guard.”The first two rounds were gimmes. Davie slapped Thomasville 60-6 on Dec. 27. Six points was right around par for the Bulldogs, who average a meager five, while allowing 58. It was 57-0 with 2:46 re-maining, when Thomasville finally got on the board after missing its first 29 shots. Davie shot 36 percent, going 22 of 61. The Bulldogs (0-7) were 2 for 33 in their 52nd consecutive loss. They went 0-21 and 0-24 the past two seasons. Bailey drilled four tri-ples and scored 14 points. Spaugh (13 points, seven rebounds, six steals, three assists) did a little bit of everything, and Rankin (13 points, 11 rebounds) record-ed a double-double. Avarie Martin had nine points and four boards; Emmie Burris had four points and four assists; Daugherty had three Marketing Solutions for YOUR business Newspapers • Special Sections OurDavie.com • Digital Marketing Business Card Directory Including: SEO, SEM, Targeted Marketing, Social and Reputation Management, Website Design, AND MORE.

Girls win Christmas Classic with ease 63-38. While the Golden Eagles fell to 7-7, Davie improved to 7-4 after finishing second in this tournament a year ago. It was a 12-11 game in Davie’s favor early in the second quarter. That’s when East began to fold like an old tent. Vivian Vaughters had a three-point play. Bai-ley Aderhold hit a 3-point-er. Malayka Rankin got a steal, went on the break and dished to Avarie Martin for a layup. Aderhold nailed another trey. When Madison Daugherty found Vaughters underneath for two, the run was 22-7 and the halftime spread was 34-18. East was done and the margin just continued to grow in the second half. After scoring 14 and 21 points in the first two rounds, Aderhold stepped up again with 16. She hit 4 of 10 3-point shots and finished the three-day event with 51 points and 15 triples to earn tournament most valuable player. Martin (14 points, three steals) and Rankin (11 points, 10 rebounds, six assists, four steals) were named to the all-tournament team. It was Rankin’s sec-ond double-double of the season. Peyton Spaugh had 9 points and 3 assists in an efficient outing that saw her hit 3 of 5 field goals and 3 of 4 free throws. Vaughters had 5 points and 4 rebounds, and Emmie Burris collected 5 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 steals. Daugherty had 3 points. Davie did not shoot great (33 percent, 21 of 62), but it didn’t matter because it got 16 more shots than East and held the Golden Eagles to 26 percent (12 of 46). points and three assists; Vivian Vaughters had two points and eight boards; and Londyn McDowell had two points and six rebounds. Davie 85, W. Davidson 18In the semifinals on Dec. 28, the War Eagles stomped West Davidson by 67. It was 15-0 before West Davidson could manage to get a shot off. Aderhold came out smoking, her third straight 3 creating a 21-4 lead. It was 35-6 at the end of the first quarter, at which point Rankin had 16 points. Adams was far from hap-py after the Thomasville game, but she was much more pleased after this one. “I don’t think you could tell we ran for 45 minutes before we came (to Led-ford),” she said after Davie improved to 6-4. “Yes, we won (over Thomasville by 54), but we were on undis-ciplined on defense. With us about to hit conference the way we are, I expect defen-sive intensity every single possession and scrapping, and I think that’s something we’d gotten away from because of our offense. I’m trying to get them to regain their focus no matter if we are up or down, and I think that showed today.”Six players did all that damage against the Drag-ons. Aderhold (21 points, 7-of-14 shooting from 3), Rankin (20 points, 7 re-bounds, 7 steals, 5 assists), Daugherty (14 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists), Spaugh (11 points, 8 rebounds, 6 steals, 4 assists), Vaughters (10 points, 10 rebounds, 3 steals, 3 assists) and Martin (9 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals) lit up the stat sheet as Davie shot 51 percent (29 of 56). One of the best parts of the game was Vaughters’ double-double. Her evolu-tion as a freshman has been fun to watch, Adams said. Vaughters, converted 5 of 6 field goals, scored four points on one possession in the third. First, she received a pass from Martin and scored while getting fouled. After missing the free throw, Davie grabbed the rebound and Rankin fed her for two more. “I think Vivian has only played basketball for two years,” Adams said. “She’s a hard worker and probably the most athletic kid I have on the team. You see her never give up, keep fighting and trying to be a sponge. The girls are super excited when they see her become successful because they know how hard she works. Sometimes her skill isn’t there like everybody else’s just because she has not played as long as everybody else. When you see an ath-letic player like that able to build some confidence, it’s rewarding.”The Dragons (4-8) shot a dismal 18 percent (6 of 33). Aderhold showing potential The most recent data from the Sports & Fitness Industry Association says 37 percent of children age of 6 and 12 play team sports on a regular basis. According to youth sports participation sur-veys, including those from the Aspen Institute and TeamSnap, children be-tween the ages of 6 and 18 spend an average of 16.6 hours a week playing sports. Everyone can take steps to ensure young athletes are safe and healthy. • Pushing the body to the brink without routine rest is a recipe for injury. Rest provides recovery time for muscles, joints and the mind. Athletes can aim for at least one day off from the sport per week. After the season ends, children can take a break a new sport.• Families can plan bal-anced meals to provide nu-trition young athletes need. With increased physical activity comes a need to eat more. The International Olympic Committee says vitamin D, calcium and iron are often lacking in youths. A young athlete should eat plenty of complex carbohy-drates, healthy fats, protein, and vegetables.• MedlinePlus reports young athletes are engaging in single-sport specializa-tion early on, focusing on one sport, even during off-seasons. Repetitive use of joints, bones and muscles can cause injuries. Young athletes should participate in a variety of sports.• Athletes always should wear the safety gear re-quired for the sport they’re playing. • Discourage young ath-letes from playing through pain. • Many young athletes throw themselves into sports at the expense of well-rounded childhoods. The National Federation of State High School Associa-tions says around 2 percent of high school athletes are awarded scholarships to college, and fewer than 2 percent of NCAA student athletes play professional-ly. Keep the emphasis on fun so young athletes don’t feel pressured.TF23C550 Help keep athletes healthy B4 - DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Jan. 4, 2024 Continued From Page B1such a great team.”Assistant coach Tak Hi-rata added: “For the last few years, this meet has been considered our mid-season focus meet and have seen some incredibly fast swim-ming. This year was no exception.” As expected, the top performer for Davie was Earnhardt Harris, who fin-ished second out of 59 in the 100-yard backstroke at 52.82, a time that earned him a regional berth. But Harris had plenty of help. Aiden Davis, Logan Zuleger, Zach Hirata and Harris finished third of 34 in the 200 medley relay and also broke the pro-gram record in that event at 1:41.11. (The old record was 1:43.44.)Another school record fell in the 200 freestyle re-lay, where Bryce harnsberg-er, Hirata, Davis and Harris went 1:31.75 to finish fourth of 37. (The previous record was 1:33.64.) Davie finished in the top 10 in seven events, includ-ing Davis’ fifth-out-of-59 showing in the 100 back-stroke at 56.03. Hirata went 53.30 in the 100 butterfly to place fifth out of 56 and qualify for the regional. The freshman also earned an automatic regional berth in the 100 free at 49.64. Hirata, Harnsberger, Zu-leger and Harris were sixth of 33 in the 400 free relay at 3:32.93, and Davis was 10th of 77 in the 100 free at 52.08.

DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Jan. 4, 2024 - B5 By Brian PittsDavie Enterprise Record After Thomasville rallied back within striking distance in the second half, the Davie varsity boys basketball team needed its inside enforcer to take over, and Jackson Powers delivered right on cue and led a 68-50 victory in the first round of the Da-vidson/Randolph Christmas Classic at Ledford on Dec. 27. “It was on the board that they don’t really have a post presence,” coach Josh Pittman said of his pregame chalk talk. The War Eagles raced to a 21-6 lead by draining five 3-pointers in the first quarter - two each by Bryson Mickey and Powers and one by Ethan Driver. The lead ranged from seven to 16 points from the time it was 21-14 until it was 49-33. Davie looked destined for a stress-free win, but the Bulldogs (3-4) began to put up a fight in the third, thanks mainly to 6-1 senior Charles Norman, who drilled three triples during their 14-2 run. Suddenly, it was 51-47 with 5:05 re-maining. Pittman was not too thrilled with the defensive focus during Thomasville’s comeback. “Basketball is a game of runs, so I figured they would make a run,” he said. “During that run, I did not like our defensive recog-nition. I felt like we were too caught up on what was going on on the offensive end and we let a guy (Nor-man) hit three 3s, and on the Continued From Page B1shot a incredible 64 percent (31 of 48 overall, 8-19 from 3). East only made one 3 and went 15 of 38 for 39 percent. But Davie (1-0 CPC) has bigger goals ahead. Now it’s time for the Central Piedmont Conference race. Pittman believes Davie has everything it needs to vigor-ously chase the regular-sea- Boys roll to 10-0 in first two rounds fourth one (that missed), he was still able to set his feet and shoot. I was extremely irritated about that.”If it weren’t for another prolific performance by the 6-6 Powers (22 points, seven rebounds), unbeaten Davie might have stubbed its toe. He posted up and converted a jump hook at 4:30. Landon King stole a pass and sped down the court for two. After Thomasville turned it over, Mickey hit a 3. Davie missed but Ethan Ratledge was right there to lay it in. King scored on a fast break, then nailed a 3. Coleman Lawhon buried a trey as Davie closed with a furious 17-3 run. “They don’t play with a post guy on offense or defense,” Pittman said. “It was one of those games where it was hard to run plays because of the way they play defense - run and trap. Since they were pressed up so much on the guards, we kept yelling: ‘Block, block.’ We moved the ball around enough to get it to Jackson in the post, and he was basically playing one-on-one down there. I think he’s improved so much that it’s going to be hard for somebody to stop him one-on-one.”King, who made his first appearance of the game in the third quarter, was a key part of that terrific game-ending run. “Landon gave us a spark and helped us close the game,” Pittman said. “I told him: ‘We’re in man and you take No. 34 (Norman). Don’t leave, stay home.’ He did what he was supposed to do, and he found some momentum and rhythm off of that. I was pleased that he had not played (in the first two-plus quarters), but when he was called on, he was ready and stepped up to the plate. That was huge for us and I think it was huge for him.”Powers hit 7 of 12 field goals and 6 of 8 free throws. Mickey, who made 4 of 10 3-point shots, did his part by collecting 14 points, six assists and two steals. King hit 3 of 4 shots, scored seven and grabbed three rebounds. Ratledge had six points, 10 rebounds and three assists. Lawhon had five points, Gavin Williams four, Driver three, Braddock Coleman three, Adam Brown two and Elliott Erlandsson two. Driver also snatched five boards. Davie shot 51 percent (25 of 49). Thomasville went 19 of 45 for 42 percent. Davie 61, W. Davidson 44Don’t let the final margin fool you. Davie smashed West Davidson in the semi-finals on Dec. 28. The War Eagles had West doubled up at the end of the first quarter (18-9) and led by 20 at halftime (37-17). They coasted from there. Williams nailed two 3s in the early going. Mickey makes at least one high-light-reel pass every game, and this one came when he was double-teamed. He found a way to thread the needle with a long bounce to Driver, who was open underneath for a layup. Coleman was a part of the best hustle play. It start-ed when Lawhon batted a pass. Coleman dove to save it before it went out of bounds. Lawhon grabbed the pass and hit Driver for an uncontested layup. King had another nice spurt. He drove and dished for a Powers bucket. King finished a fast break. Then he got a steal and started a break that saw the ball go from King to Mickey to Williams. The game was all but over at halftime, and Pitt-man sent in five subs at the 4:30 mark of the third. The starters sat the last 12:30. Powers hit 6 of 8 shots to score 14. Brown was 4-for-4 from the floor for 11 points. Driver and Williams had eight each. Lawhon had 6 points, 5 assists and 4 steals. Ratledge had 5 points, Isaac Swisher 4, King two, Mick-ey 2 and Cam Owens 1. King had 2 steals and 2 assists. Mickey and Owens had 3 assists each. Coleman had 3 steals. The War Eagles shot 50 percent (24-48) to run their record to 10-0. The Dragons fell to 5-7. son crown. “All the guys seem to be in a good mental space,” he said. “They are locked in and playing together. Not too many high school teams are going to see score 30-plus points in a quarter, and we’ve done it several times. I think we are trending in the right direction.”Since there’s not an obvi- ous title favorite, it’s going to be an absolute bloodbath. “It’s going to be tough,” Pittman said. “I set a goal of winning five of the first seven in the first round of the conference because we have four on the road and three at home. We’ve al-ready got one in the bag with East (Forsyth). It’s about grabbing what we can on the road and winning at home. We’re more than capable of doing it, but we have to play some really good games and maintaining in some other games.”Sophomore backup guard Gavin Reese missed his eighth game with an injury. “He’s got a back issue going on, so he won’t be able to play for a while.” MVP ...

She was 98 and still living alone in her apartment. She visited Cana a couple of years ago, and I took her on a tour of Frostland. I told her: “I don’t guess you will not want to climb the steps to get upstairs.” She said, ‘Oh yes, I want to go upstairs.” And she climbed those stairs to the second floor like they were nothing while I stood on the first floor and marveled at her agility.

On Dec. 27, more than 52 acres of land near tHarmony in Iredell County were permanent-ly conserved. Three Riv-ers Land Trust worked to con-serve this tract of land in part-nership with the landowners, who donated the con-servation ease-ment.The land is a productive tree farm that also provides wildlife habitat. With a stretch of creek running through this tract, this con-servation easement will also contribute towards the protection of the Yad-kin-Pee Dee watershed.“The rapid rate of devel-opment in North Carolina threatens not only our pro-ductive agricultural lands and ability to feed future generations but also our native wildlife that utilize these farmlands as habi-tat,” states Land Protection Specialist Kyle Shores. “Once land is converted for development, it is almost certainly never going to be converted back to agricul-tural land again.”“This will be the sixth farm that TRLT has pro-tected this year,” states Associate Director Crystal Cockman. “Agriculture is North Carolina’s No. 1 industry; however, North Carolina ranks 2nd in the nation for potential agri-culture land loss, according to the American Farmland Trust. In fact, Iredell Coun-ty ranks 38th in the nation for farmland loss. This is why it is so imperative to protect these farmlands for the benefit of our local community and all of North Carolina.”This project was made possible through the donat-ed conservation easement by the landowners, and the support of Three Rivers Land Trust’s work by its members. To learn more about how to conserve lands or how to support Three Riv-ers’ conservation mission, contact Emily Callicutt, Se-nior Land Protection Spe-cialist at 704-647-0302 or by email at emily@trlt.org.
