Hillsdale is Renegar’s home precinct. Renegar (3,988 votes) and Richard Poindexter (3,540 votes) will appear on the No-vember ballot, along with Lib-ertarian Justin Vocke.Rounding out the voting for county commissioner: Craig Myers, 2,524; Dustin Smith, 2,056; Bill Vaughan, 2,038; Mike Butero, 1,977; Charles Odell Williams, 1,086; and Doug Rivers, 828.The top four Republican vote getters in the race for the board of education will likely be sworn into office in De-cember, as no other party can-didates filed.Jeff Jones led the ballot with 6,008 votes, followed by Michael Hunter with 5,705, W.G. “Dub” Potts with 5,308 and Stephanie Hurst with 4,891. Ray Wright garnered 4,148 votes, and Jeff Plott re-ceived 3,911.Either Jones or Hunter won By Jeanna Baxter White Word Master Media Group Mocksville residents and business owners may see a decrease in insurance costs thanks to the Mocksville Fire Department’s new ISO rating of 3. Insurance companies often use ISO (Insurance Services Office) Fire Service Ratings to help set home insurance rates, as a home that is less likely to be severely damaged or de-stroyed by fire is cheaper to insure.Mocksville Fire Chief Frank Carter received a letter from State Fire Marshal Brian Taylor last week announcing that Mocksville’s November routine inspection earned a rating of ISO Class 3 within the town limits and the sur-rounding area. The new score will go into effect on June 1."The residents of the Mocksville Fire District can take comfort in knowing this At left, Mocksville Firefighter Taylor Mohat checks the performance of rescue tools, while at right, Firefighter Bryson Collins performs a daily function of checking the self-contained breathing apparatus. - Photos by Jeanna Baxter White More firefighters paying off Additions in Mocksville helps lower insurance rating highly capable team of fire-fighters from the Mocksville Fire Department is safeguard-ing them and their belongings in the event of an emergency," Taylor said.The department’s previous ISO rating was 4 inside the town limits and 9 in the sur-rounding area. Only 189 out of 1,513 fire districts in North Carolina are rated a Class 3. “This is a huge accomplish-ment for our department,” said Carter. “My go-to hashtag is ‘constant improvement,’and we continue to improve. I’m very thankful to the men and women of this department who made this achievement possible; it is a total team ef-fort. I also appreciate Town Manager Ken Gamble and the town board for supporting us. We couldn’t have done this without their support.” The inspection, conducted by officials with the State Fire Marshal (OSFM), is required every five years as part of the N.C. Response Rating Sys-tem (NCRRS). Among other things, the routine inspections look for proper staffing levels, equipment, maintenance of equipment, communications capabilities and availability of water.OSFM’s Public Protection Classification (PPC) program evaluates communities per a uniform set of criteria, incor-porating nationally recognized standards. The rating system ranges from one (highest) to 10 (not recognized as a cer-tified fire department by the state), with most rural depart-ments falling into the 9S cat-egory. A community's grade depends on:• needed fire flows, which are representative building lo-cations used to determine the theoretical amount of water necessary for fire suppression purposes;• emergency communica-tions, including emergency reporting, telecommunicators, anddispatching systems;• fire department, including equipment, staffing, training, the geographic distribution of fire companies, operational considerations, and communi-ty risk reduction.;• water supply, including inspection and flow testing of hydrants, alternative water supply operations, and a care-ful evaluation of available wa-ter compared with the amount needed to suppress fires up to 3,500 GPM;• community risk reduction, community efforts to reduce the risk of fire, including fire prevention codes and enforce-ment, public fire safety edu-cation, and fire investigation programs.Fifty percent of a communi-ty's overall score is based upon the department's structure fire suppression system.

Pre-Covid or post Covid economy To the editor:Recently,we let our two Great Danes out for a brief run. Only one returned, and we initiated a search. The dog re-turned around 2 a.m. with a large trap on her paw. She had managed to pull the stake on the trap from the ground and drag the heavy trap and chain through the woods.As we were unable to remove the trap from the dog's paw, my wife called the Davie County Sheriff's Depart-ment and requested an animal control officer. The com-munication personnel were extremely helpful and imme-diately called an ACO who was off duty. Deputy Stramey arrived shortly, despite being awakened from his warm bed, and quickly and expertly removed the trap from the dog's leg. Despite the intense pain the dog endured, Depu-ty Stramey was able to calm her so that she permitted him to do his job.My wife and I are deeply indebted to Deputy Stramey and all of the fine deputies of the Davie County Sheriff's Department. "Cudos" to Sheriff J.D. Hartman for having personnel such as Deputy Stramey serving the county. Barbara and Barry OwensMocksville By Mike WaldenNCSU Think about where you were four years ago, in Febru-ary 2020. My wife and I have birthdays early in the year, mine in late January and hers in late March. To celebrate, we often do something fun in February or early March.For 2020 we planned a weekend trip to New York City to see a Broadway revival of the Neil Simon comedy Plaza Suite. My wife is a New Yorker from upstate, and since we first met 50 years ago we’ve always enjoyed theater performances. In February, just as we were getting excited about our trip, concerns over COVID-19 were starting. We brushed them aside and assumed our trip would happen as planned.In the second week of March, Broadway shut down. Shortly after that, Gov. Roy Cooper announced a statewide stay-at-home order. Thus began our multiyear ordeal with the disease of our lifetimes.Although COVID is still a threat, our everyday lives today are much closer to normal. Even Broadway has re-opened. Still, for many people and for many aspects of our everyday lives, “normal” has been redefined.The purpose of today’s column is to look at how normal has been changed for the labor market in North Carolina. To accomplish this, I’ve done a deep dive into the pre- and post-data. I’ll let you decide if the apparent changes are positive, negative or a “wash.” On a technical note, I used February 2020 as my pre-COVID benchmark and Decem-ber 2023 for the post-COVID marker.One of the best results is that the total number of jobs in North Carolina is up 7% from the pre-COVID econo-my. This is more than twice the percentage increase for the national economy. Clearly, North Carolina continues to maintain its position in the post-COVID economy as a fast-growing state for jobs.But of course, we wouldn’t expect job growth to be the same for all sectors. Sectors that stand out with much fast-er growth are education and health care (10%), wholesale trade (13%), financial services (16%), warehousing/trans-portation (20%) and professional jobs (29%). Again, let me emphasize these are not changes from the low point of the economy during the pandemic. The numbers show the percentage change in jobs from the high point prior to COVID to today.The strong increase in professional jobs continues a long-term trend due to more tasks requiring training in high level skills. One question is if this trend will con-tinue as AI (artificial intelligence) becomes more capable and pervasive. The strong increase in transportation and warehousing likely is a result of the changes in how we purchase and receive products.Two sectors lost jobs. Manufacturing jobs dropped 1% from the pre-COVID level to the end of 2023. Additional-ly, government jobs in North Carolina lost 2%.Let’s now look at the geography of job growth in North Carolina. For most of the last four decades, the strongest job growth has been in metro areas, such as the Triangle, Charlotte and Wilmington, while job growth in many non-metro — or rural — regions has been slower or some-times negative. This difference has contributed to an ur-ban/rural divide.There appears to have been a slight shift in the geogra-phy of jobs. From February 2020 to December 2023, total employment in North Carolina metro regions rose 6.6%, while employment growth in non-metro areas jumped 8.7%. Have lingering pandemic worries motivated more businesses and workers to choose less dense regions, where viruses may be more difficult to spread? Or are the steep prices of real estate and homes in metro areas push-ing people to rural regions where prices are more modest? I examined two key factors measuring working condi-tions: worker hours and earnings. Compared now to the Oriental’s BirthdayBy Gaye HootsThis weekend Oriental is celebrating its 125th birthday. The kickoff was talks given by people in their late eighties who grew up here and some who operated businesses in the early years. The bridge at that time was wood and low-er than the present bridge. This is where the boys learned to swim, the older boys would help the ones who could not swim when they jumped. The boys did not own swim trunks and were skinny-dipping. No mention was made of girls attempting this.Originally the area was inhabited by Indians who fished and farmed. Later the king of England gave land grants to some families, and some of our inhabitants traced their roots back to these. The early businesses were stores; like Advance, there were several stores in the small town. Fishing and later shrimping were the livelihood for many. Blackbeard made his home in Bath and was well-known in this area. I live on Treasure Dr. off Teach’s Cove.The town was originally named Smith’s Creek but was later renamed after a transport steamer called Oriental that ran aground near Bodie Island during the Civil War. In the early 20th century lumber and farming were the pre-dominant industries. Train service was discontinued in the 1950s and the sawmills closed in the 1960s. Fishing con-tinues to be a large part of the economy and tourism is also. Oriental is the sailboat capital of NC and while the population is under 1000 there are between 2000 and 3000 sailboats here.One of the speakers yesterday spoke of his family run-ning a grocery store and offering credit during the Depres-sion which caused them to have to close the store when the creditors could not pay. The families survived by farming and fishing.There is a lady who was at the gathering named Faye Bond who celebrated her 100th birthday this year. She is known for her watermelon parties which she hosts annual-ly and her participation in Senior Games. She was in cos-tume and while I sat on my couch she was out dancing in the rain at the festival. She is pictured on my Facebook page with pictures of the parade which they held in the rain. She is one of my heroes.There was a play scheduled for the local theatre which was cancelled due to a COVID outbreak among the actors. It will be rescheduled later. The attendees for the event I went to were mostly older than me and still celebrating life with each other. A Trip to Lexington By Marie Craig BACKGROUND: In 2017, I wrote a book about a fictitious Mocksville girl, Mary Ellen, twelve years old, who read the local newspapers in 1924. I found interest-ing articles she would have found, and then I wrote her entries in her diary about those events. On page 15 of the book, I wrote about her trip to Lexington to hear the John Philip Sousa band in concert. The advertisement about this amazing musical treat was in the Davie Record on 27 February 1924 announcing this concert date of Monday, 3 March 1924 at 2 pm at the Lexington Theatre. It said, “The world’s most popular musical organization.”PAGE 15 OF HER FICTITIOUS DIARY: I read the Davie Record before I went to school on February 27 after my dad got through with it. There was a big advertisement for a band concert in Lexington next Monday! I had heard of John Philip Sousa because of my teacher at school. She really likes all kinds of music. I took this page to show my teacher, and she was so excited. I told her that I would re-ally like to attend that concert. She told me that she would also. Luckily the ice has melted so that he can come! It’s been a cold winter with lots of snow and ice.I had no idea that somebody that special would ever come to this area. I showed this advertisement to my par-ents, and of course they said that there was no way I could go. I was so interested in this article that my teacher asked me to research him and his career in our encyclopedias in the school library. This is what I learned:Report about John Philip Sousa, by Mary EllenHe is almost 70 years old…1854: Born Washington, DC, Nov. 6. John Philip was 3rd of 10 children of John Antonio Sousa (born in Spain of Portuguese parents) and Maria Elisabeth Trinkhaus (born in Bavaria). John Philip's father, Antonio, played trom-bone in the U.S. Marine band. Mr. Sousa grew up around military band music.1860: Began musical study around age six, studying voice, violin, piano, flute, cornet, baritone, trombone and alto horn. To the editor:Mr. Musslelman, I respect your opinion and your view-point, whether right or wrong. In response to my commen-tary last week, you pointed out what you said were two glaring inaccuracies. I appreciate your help.“Outside of Detroit’s historic Central United Method-ist Church, religious leaders recited scripture because of something they saw President Trump do in Washington DC.“Today is in response to Donald Trump using a church sign as a prop and holding the bible, holding it upside down, and doesn’t know what is inside of it,” said Rev. Dr. Jill Hardt Zundel.Contrary to your statement about the fire being set by “peaceful protestors,” the church’s rector Rev. Robert Fisher stated the small fire in the parsonage was not in his opinion caused by those protesting the police over George Floyd’s death. This is where it was reported Trump made his grand political stand where he turned the Bible around holding the back cover to face the cameras. His visit “out-raged” Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde, who oversees the church."Consider the context," Budde told Melvin on TODAY on Monday. "After making a highly charged, emotional speech to the nation where he threatened military force, his officials cleared peaceful protesters with tear gas and horses and walked on to the courtyard of St. John's Church and held up a Bible as if it were a prop or an extension of his military and authoritarian position, and stood in front of our building as if it were a backdrop for his agenda.”With regard to your next clarification on Trump’s threat to become a dictator, you parse words about his clarifica- tion that it's only on his first day. Yet he has continually stated he will seek retribution against his political rivals and those who seek justice for his violations against the law. So you believe he will only be a dictator on just his "first" day? I don't think so.With these being minor concerns about Trump and his threat to Democracy, you ignore the most egregious of the issues listed. Hmm, interesting.Next, you mention your concern: immigration/border control. That is an issue I can agree with you on. But I am confused. Sen. (R) Lankford headed up a bipartisan committee on immigration producing the most aggressive border security and immigration bill in decades. But af-ter Trump’s coffee boy was told Trump wants to use it as a political issue, Mike Johnson killed the idea and stated nothing will be passed regarding immigration this year. Sen. (R) Romney publicly stated he could not believe a candidate would hold off resolving the issue of immigra-tion policy just to use it as a political ploy. So what’s up Mr. Musselman? How do those of us you call "stupid" demand we get action on immigration now? When do those representing the people stop playing games and represent the people?But truly, thanks for sharing. More people should en-gage in discussing our political process and whether or not the emphasis is on issues important to the American people; or do we keep blindly electing people the caliber of George Santos, Matt Gaetz and MTG and those more interested in their wealth and power than in truly repre-senting the people? Lets find the "right" people to represent the GOP.David Carroll, Mocksville Let’s find the right people to lead GOP DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, March 14, 2024 - 3 Local News in your inbox Sign up under services at www.ourdavie.com Renegade ... By KC SmithCooleemee Correspondent My friend, Grimes “Bimmy” Parker, passed away recently and I can’t bring him back. Early Monday morning before I was about to jump in the shower before leaving to take care of our granddaugh-ter, my husband said my name in a way I knew some-thing was wrong. “Bimmy passed away last night,”It was like a silver magnet pulled me quick to Jeff’s chest and I held him tight.“I thought they were working on removing the fluid from his heart and then they will treat his kidneys and wake them up?” That was what I was praying for, but it didn’t work out that way.Wait a minute. He didn’t teach me how to plant peanuts. Planting and harvesting peanuts would be the coolest thing, I thought, because he did it every year. Every time I see a bag of peanuts still in the hull, I smile because I knew someone in my town who plants these things. I’m sure he would have taught me, if only I had asked.Duke Street isn’t a street I drive down often but sever-al times when I did he would be sitting in a chair, in front of his garage in the driveway with his leg crossed.I can imagine the conversations we would have had, if only I had stopped by for a visit. Regret can send you in a whirlwind of thoughts when someone close to you passes away. “But wait, I was gong to, I could have, I should have.” Those thoughts sure don’t fill the void.The memories lift me up though and I saturate my mind in them. When he called me and asked me to be on the basket ball camp board I was so honored. The first Grimes Parker Basketball Camp Invictus stands out in my mind the most. All the dreams and hopes, ideas and plans that he and Steve Fleming had came into fruition that day and I’m so happy I was there along with so many other volunteers to see the magic happen.“So what do you think KC?” “I thought it was fantastic Bimmy and I can’t wait for the next one.”So many great ideas come to us and then, “whew, it would take a lot to make that happen” and then put it in our back pockets or worse, throw it away. If only we had held on to that thought, that dream, that idea. To think how many lives would have been richer.There is never a good time to loose a friend or loved one. No matter how prepared we try, those times are out of our control.Writing a letter to Bimmy, and telling him how much he enriched my life is a healthy thing to do. Putting thoughts down on paper clears the mind and heals the soul. I hope his chair will be sitting where he used sit in that driveway, so I can drive by, stop and leave a note or two. Grimes “Bimmy” Parker, a Master of Cooleemee, will never be forgotten. Feel free to contact me, www.cooleemeenews@gmail.com, or 336-250-1133. I would love to hear from you. Remembering a friend in writing can help heal the soul Continued From Page 2pre-pandemic economy, the average worker is clocking about 2% fewer hours per week on the job. This doesn’t seem like much, but it is a distinct change from the decade prior to the pandemic when weekly hours were relatively stable. Of course, there are always differences among eco-nomic sectors. Weekly hours increased for construction, but were down more than the average in leisure and hospi-tality businesses — almost 4%.There are numerous possible explanations for the de-cline in the workweek in the post-COVID economy. One is that it’s a perk that companies have used to deal with labor shortages. Another is younger workers, in particu-lar, want a different work/life balance, and so they only look for jobs with fewer hours. Or, companies may be ex-pecting the shorter workweek will create more happiness among their employees, thereby boosting productivity.But maybe the most notable difference between the pre- and post-COVID labor market has been in earnings — specifically in earnings per hour, often called the wage rate. Overall, the average wage rate in North Carolina in-creased 22% from the pre-COVID economy to the most recent post-COVID reading. This was slightly better than the total 20% increase in prices — aka, inflation — during the same time. Yet what is interesting is that higher-pay-ing sectors, like finance and professional jobs, had smaller wage gains than some lower-paying sectors, such as con-struction and leisure/hospitality firms. Again, it will be im-portant to see if these trends are maintained.So it appears there have been significant changes to the North Carolina labor market after COVID. How do you rate them — good, bad or mixed? You decide.Mike Walden is a William Neal Reynolds Distinguished Professor Emeritus at North Carolina State University. Economy ... Continued From Page 21867: His father enlisted him in the Marines at age 13 as an apprentice after he attempted to run away to join a cir-cus band.1872: Published first composition, "Moonlight on the Potomac Waltzes."1875: Discharged from Marines. Began performing (on violin), touring and eventually conducting theater orches-tras. Conducted Gilbert & Sullivan's H.M.S. Pinafore on Broadway. I wrote my report, based on these notes, and gave it to my teacher that day. She told me that she was going to show it to the principal that afternoon. When I arrived at school on Monday, I was surprised to learn that she had made plans for two other students and me to go with her to attend the concert! She had talked to my parents the night before, and they had agreed. Right after early lunch, the substitute teacher came, and we four left in her car to go to Lexington. We were all so excited to go to the Lexington Theatre! We found a parking place on the street and were soon inside with hundreds of other music lovers. I enjoyed all the songs they played. My favorite was when Miss Nora Fauchald sang “Dixie.” My dad sings that a lot, and I’ve learned all the words from hearing him. But I loved hearing the band play the marches and happy music. It was a great experience for me, and I want to al-ways remember how kind it was of my parents to approve this and my teacher to take us over there. I think she en-joyed getting away from the classroom for an afternoon. There were lots of people there with fancy clothes and big expensive cars. I guess that’s their favorite kind of music. I won’t ever forget this special day! Dog Whisperer, an Irish LegendBy Julie Terry Cartner“What is it, *cara?” Maewyn asked sleepily as he stroked the dense fur of his favorite sheepdog. The last he’d known before falling into an exhausted sleep, the dog had been stretched out beside him, sharing body heat on the damp, chilly, Irish night. Now the canine appeared to be standing before him, and yet not. Confusion fogged Maewyn’s sleep-tangled thoughts. Was the sheepdog sleeping beside him or the figure appearing before him? Was he a dog, or was he an angel?In those fleeting minutes between sleep and waking, the young man thought back over the past six years. Captured from his native homeland at the age of sixteen, he’d been enslaved by Chieftain Milchu and forced to take care of his sheep and pigs. Overall, maybe it hadn’t been a terrible life for an animal lover, but he still longed for his free-dom. He’d miss his canine companions, but being bound by slavery was not anyone’s dream.“I know I’m exhausted, my friend, but what is going on?” Maewyn asked. “What am I seeing?” Because, be-fore his eyes was an angel, and yet somehow, he knew it was also his beloved dog.In the way of dreams and Holy visitations, Maewyn realized he just needed to listen, and so he did. The sheep-dog, as an angel, informed the slave boy of a ship docked on the coast which would be his means to escape. Grasp-ing the urgency of the opportunity, Maewyn immediate-ly set out. The journey was not easy. Two hundred miles across the moors and wilderness of Ireland was not to be treated lightly, but Maewyn prevailed. Finally reaching the coast, he found the ship to which his vision had directed him. Having no idea what to ex-pect, he was thrilled to learn the ship was filled with Irish Wolfhounds and other large dogs.Quickly, however, his joy turned to frustration when he was denied passage, and yet, his night’s visitation pro-pelled him forward. Even as Maewyn pondered his path, the dogs on the ship began barking, growling, and fight-ing. Howls filled the air. Sailors tried to settle the dogs to no avail, that is, until, with the sailors distracted, Maewyn entered the ship. Upon scenting him and hearing his voice, the dogs became calm. Seeing Maewyn’s impact on the dogs, the sailors changed their minds and allowed him to exchange care of the dogs for passage on the ship.Deeply impacted by the dream that had changed the course of his life, when they reached land, Maewyn joined a monastery in Tours, France. He converted to Christian-ity and was renamed Patricius. Later the Pope sent him back to Ireland to teach and share his faith with the Gaelic people. Despite his first experience in Ireland, Patrick felt called to return to the Gaelic people, so he did as he was directed and returned to the country where he had once been a slave.As he walked back onto Irish soil Patrick met a pagan prince hunting with his wolfhound, Lauth. The prince ordered Lauth to attack, but instead, the dog bowed and licked his hand, thus foreshadowing the course of Patrick’s life in ministering to, and being loved by, the people of Ireland.Irish legend says that as a thank you to all dogs, Patrick allowed the Irish hero, Ossain, to take his pack of dogs to heaven with him.In true Irish fashion, I have taken the few facts derived from the article below and embellished them into a story.

De-partment of Transportation launched its Wildflower Program with just 12 acres of roadside land adorned with wildflower beds. The initiative has flour-ished, and almost four de-cades later, hundreds of acres of wildflower beds are planted and meticulous-ly maintained on roadsides statewide.And the employees in Division 9, which includes Davie County, were award-ed first place in the overall wildflower management category during NCDOT’s 2023 Wildflower Awards."Our employees are the backbone of our efforts to keep North Carolina’s road-ways beautiful,” said David Harris, NCDOT’s roadside environmental engineer. “Their hard work and at-tention to detail ensure that travelers and residents alike can enjoy the breathtaking scenery that North Carolina has to offer.”These awards are spon-sored by The Garden Club of North Carolina and giv-en to the best-looking flow-er beds in each region. The awards recognize the ef-forts of NCDOT staff who enhance the appearance and environmental quality of the state's highways. These wildflowers along a Division 9 highway not only look beautiful, but provide habitat and food for beneficial insects.

The peo-ple in Davidson and Davie counties are our friends and neighbors, and it’s only nat-ural to support these groups that are a vital part of our community,” said David-son-Davie President Jenny Varner, who made stops at many locations. “These are organizations, agencies and schools that have touched many lives – including our own employees, students and their families.”Employees like Jasmine Hargrave were excited to have the opportunity to lend a helping hand. Har-grave, who serves as the director of Reconnect and Success, has participated in the event since it began.Last spring, she and her team visited Smart Start of Davidson County. While she explained she was fa-miliar with Smart Start, she was unsure what to expect. “I had never volunteered with them before, so I was excited to see what we would be helping out with.” Her team had a great time with the agency last year, and when the opportunity presented itself again this year, the group was eager to go back. “Without hesi-tation, we said ‘sign us up again’.”Hargrave said this year, her group assisted with as-sembling grab bags filled with items that are helpful for parents and children, and even included mate-rials in Spanish. “I know how important a fresh start is for children – especially going into kindergarten,” she added.For her, though, she looked most forward to the opportunity to give back to others in her own commu-nity. “As a member of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority Inc., we thrive on service to the community,” Hargrave said. “But it makes it even more special when you get to do this type of work with your colleagues from work. I have a small, but great team and it’s always fun when we work together.” Adult computer classes offered Habitat for Humanity of Davie County had help from Davidson-Davie employees who, among other volunteers, built window and door components for the future Habitat House. The build took place at the Habitat headquarters and Re-Store in the Bermuda Quay Shopping Center in Bermuda Run.

By Lynette C. WikleBermuda Run Garden Club Spring is here.One glimpse outside and you can see it. One step outside and you can smell it. Tune your ears and you can hear it. From the green lawns and fairways to the fresh, subtle smell of daffodils and the sweet chirping of birds; it’s official. And just like other sure signs of spring, the Ber-muda Run Garden Club is springing into action with several projects that signal the season.Geranium presale has begun. Garden club mem-bers are taking orders and need to be completed with delivery of these potted plants April 16 from 2-6 p.m. with a rain date of April 17. Plants can be picked up at the Bermuda Run Post Office parking lot. The geranium sale is one of the biggest fund-raisers the club sponsors.We value and thank you for your partici-pation.The other big fundraiser for the club is the semi-an-nual shredding event tak-ing place Saturday, April 13. The big shredder truck will be in the Bermuda Run Town Hall parking lot from Teresa Myers shows Donna Lamonds a basket she made to demonstrate the use of herbs as a natural insect repellent. That’s ed- ible curry in the center. Amy Bridges smiles with pleasure holding her cre- ation and plants to spare at the Bermuda Run Gar- den Club’s March meeting. New member Heather Coleman is all smiles as she holds the Easter basket door prize she won during the garden club’s visit to Myers Greenhouse. Gardeners visit greenhouse, create live arrangements 9 a.m.-noon, or until the truck is full. The cost is $5 per grocery-size bag, cash only. This is a rain or shine event. But it’s not all work and no play for club members. The March meeting took place Wednesday the 6th at Myers’ Greenhouse on South Stratford Road. The hostesses, Shelby Nich-ols, Karen Coley and Alice Balstrom, greeted members as they came in out of the rain. Myers’ Greenhouse is a family-run business in op-eration for 52 years. It start-ed from James Myers 4-H project. James, Rebekah and Teresa were there to assist as members listened while Teresa demonstrat-ed how to create arrange-ments with live plants. With remarkable speed, she showed how the “trill-er, filler, spiller” technique comes together for any type of garden exposure. She recommended us-ing three of each plant to achieve a pleasing 360-de-gree view, and she is defi-nitely of the more-is-more school of gardening. After her demonstra-tions, every member who brought their own pot was able to shop for plants and assemble their own cre- ation. Teresa and Rebekah were hands-on helping members who worked for over an hour, and James kept the plants coming as he made numerous trips to adjacent growing areas to fill requests. Members used, among others, polka dot plant, stock, parlor palm, goldfish plant, delicate duck-foot ivy, anthurium, croton and the herb curry. It may have been a rainy day, but there’s no denying that the smiles faces more than made up for the lack of sunshine.

With tongue-in-cheek humor, the writers assert that some quintessential rules and rituals surround our send-offs. After all, a funeral is a ceremony – so why not treat it as such and celebrate? A nice addition to your Amy Vanderbilt etiquette books, the guidebook gives the how-to for throwing festive par-ties. Each chapter includes popular southern favorites that are comforting balms like vintage Campbell’s soup casseroles and gracious sheet pan desserts that feed a mass of folks. Like relatives of potluck supper dishes, the recipes are akin to those in your church cookbook. The instruction book walks you through, whether gather-ing in an event center, church basement, or receiving folks at home. Whether you serve pick-up foods or full-fledged, hot suppers – the book points out how to die – tastefully.Today’s recipes include all-time, crowd-pleasers for post-ceremony celebrations – but delicious any other time. At any Southern event, no party table’s complete without bowls of your ma-ma’s sweet and sour pickles, spiced nuts, and pastel melt-away mints – the must-haves. Recently, I attended a life celebration for local race car driver, Ralph Lee Brinkley. More than 200 fans attended a gathering at Richard Childress Racing in Welcome. The man was bigger than life. He was kind of like race roy-alty, and his fanfare was huge. Several speakers eulogized his life, sharing memories from his days in racing. Others talked about the legacy of a driver who won 8 champion-ships in the modified racing division on the little racetrack that’s near and dear to my heart – Bowman Gray Stadium.And amazingly, Brinkley did it with a single eye – dubbed the “one-eyed wonder.” Former Sports Editor, Randy Pettitt, called the man, “the greatest show on turf.” During his life, Brinkley’s blue, #9 modified dominated the track – resting in the winner’s circle 64 times. Shown in a filmed interview, Brinkley was asked how he did it and replied, “If it hadn’t been fun, I wouldn’t have been doing it.”The celebration closed with Brinkley’s words, “At one time, winning was the biggest thing on my mind. But that chapter of my life is over now. God is God and He knows what’s ahead. I can only look back through the rearview mirror.” It’s important to enjoy our lives and have fun along the way. And even if we’re not winning trophies and recog-nition awards, our memories are woven into the lives of others. Fortunately, most of us have two eyes to do what Brin-kley did – and that was to focus clearly on what’s ahead. Paul tells us in Philippians 3:12-15 (NIV) that our goal should be to know and live like Christ.“Not that I have already obtained all this, or have al-ready been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it, but one thing I do: forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead. I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.”So press ahead, friends, to the finish line – and win that prize.

This was his second home. If there was a racetrack running, you would find him there on a Saturday night. Aside from his love of racing, he also enjoyed fishing. Many days and hours were spent on the river fishing with family.In addition to his parents and his wife, he was preceded to heaven by: his daughter, Carla; son-in-law, Danny; his siblings; and great-granddaughter, Adrianna.He leaves behind: his children, Carol, Richard (Tina), and Austin (Stephanie); grandchildren, Amanda (Leedale), Danny Jr., and Leslie (Brian); 13 great-grandchildren; and 2 great-great grandchildren.Carl was a deeply beloved father, brother, and friend.

Buckle up because we’re going for a ride down Memory Lane to look back on one of Cooleemee’s greatest. And his name is pronounced “Buy Me.” When Grimes “Bimmy” Park-er Jr. was born on May 10, 1945 in Rowan County, he drove his mother Hazel home. A tornado ripped through Cooleemee in the late 1950s. Bimmy and his buddies were out messing around. Bimmy wasn’t in a hurry to get home because the tornado was named Bimmy.

We won’t know for several weeks, but the early matches have definitely not been fair fights. At East Forsyth on March 4, the War Eagles took care of business in a big way, 6-2. One meaningless match was scratched because of darkness. Hayden Key (6-3, 6-0 at three), Brady Carter (6-0, 6-0 at four), Jackson Hepler (6-3, 6-1 at five) and Barrett Taylor (6-0, 6-1 at six) were singles winners as Davie clinched a 2-0 mark in the CPC before winning two doubles (Key/Hepler and Carter/Max Rappaport both won 8-1). “(Carter’s) style is a bit unusu-al,” coach Shane Nixon said. “He slices and cuts the call more than most kids at this level. He is on a tear. Max is a great athlete with a huge wingspan. (Key and Taylor) are playing that kind of rock-solid tennis our program is built on. Hayden is a lefty and he gets a few points every match it seems when his opponent just isn’t used to that being a forehand side. To Hayden’s credit, he is more than capitalizing. Barrett has stepped into the six role and is really anchoring the bottom of our lineup. Jackson is taking me on a roller-coaster ride. I say that but in reality he is also There will never be another Bimmy Parker strike with a tennis ball. Bimmy brought two socks to a card game - one with money in it and one with a sawed-off shotgun. Bimmy played football, bas-ketball and baseball. He starred in all three, and when he played pool, he could sink the 8-ball on the break. Coach Parker didn’t worry about effort from his players. They were scared to death not to play hard. Everyone has seen the glare. Coach Parker beat Mt. Rushmore in a staring contest. Bimmy did not sleep the night before a game; he waited. •••Bimmy was full of contrasts, a mixture of intensity and humor Long-time coach, mentor, friend remembered with colorful stories 2-0 in singles, so the results are there. Jackson has had trouble getting started both matches, but then when he does, he pulls away. He and Hayden are figuring out doubles together as well.”Davie 8, Forbush 1Three days later in a home nonconference match, Davie had a predictably easy win. Zach Hill (8-0 at one), Key (8-1 at three), Carter (8-0 at four), Hepler (8-1 at five) and Taylor (8-0 at six) sealed Davie’s 3-0 start in singles. Then Busse/Key, Carter/Hepler and Jonah Almond/Owen Tomlinson padded the margin with lopsided victories in doubles. “Zach played about as well as he could,” Nixon said. “He is really stepping into his role on this team.”Key, Carter, Hepler and Taylor are all 3-0 on the season at the 3-4-5-6 spots. “This doesn’t look like a ‘re-building’ start,” he said. “There is a ton of tennis to be played, and our schedule ramps up from here on, but right now I like where we are. (3-0) is amazing. I told the guys the competition is about to ratchet up a notch; I think they heard me. I think we are ready for the (Reagan) Raiders.” Notes: According to the North Carolina High School Tennis Association, Nixon (98-41 in 10 years) is the No. 11 active winner in the state. Interestingly enough, Reagan’s Scott Larson is in the top 10 in career victories.

After South struck with a leadoff hit in By Brian PittsEnterprise Record West Forsyth started capital-izing on the home team’s errors in the second inning and Davie’s baseball team fell hard, 10-0, in the Central Piedmont Conference opener on March 5. Only time will tell, but maybe we can chalk it up to just one of those days - like what we saw more than once in 2023. Last year East Forsyth ripped the War Eagles 13-0, but Davie would win the next War Eagle tennis team starts hot Softball on a winning streak the top of the first, she retired sev-en straight. Later on, she set down another seven straight. The junior had 46 Ks through 20 innings. “Riley’s speed mixed with her spin is just nasty,” coach Nathan Handy said. “She has control over all four corners of the plate, wheth-er it’s up, down, in or out. She’s on a different level.”Offensively, the fuse was lit by - oddly enough - the last batter in the order. Out of nowhere, fresh-man Addie Brown sent the second pitch of the third over the fence to give Davie a 1-0 lead. In the fourth at-bat of her high school career, she blasted Davie’s first homer of the season. “I don’t think you can grin much harder from ear to ear,” coach Handy said. “She was defi-nitely super-stoked. I thought she had hit her first home run against Starmount. She ripped one that was probably 215, 220 (feet), but it was about five feet foul in left field.

And then there were the regular-season meetings with West. Davie fell short 4-2; two days later, the War Eagles strutted past the Titans 12-2. The 10-0 loss in the second game of 2024 was dreadful mostly because of West’s senior righty, Jack Vest, who pitched a two-hitter for six innings (it was a mercy-rule result). Davie had more than dou-ble the errors (five) over hits. Cleanup man Kason Stewart offered a bright spot, going 2 for 2 and rising to 4-5 on the season. Braeden Rodgers wasn’t nearly as bad as the score suggests, the ace pitcher allowing one earned run in four innings. “The score definitely would not have been that if we’d made the defensive plays,” coach Joey Anderson said. “It could have been 1-0 in the fifth instead of 5-0. They took full advantage of our mistakes.”Davie 6, North 5The War Eagles bounced back as well as possible, winning a home nonconference game over respected North Davidson on March 7. “We played very well,” Ander-son said. “We got big hits. It was a lot better to watch than the night before (against West).”Cooper Bliss got the ball and wasn’t it a beautiful debut as a varsity starter for the senior? He tossed a four-hitter for six innings, gave up one run and struck out seven. The fact he worked 1.2 innings in three relief appearances as a junior made it all the more impressive. “Cooper pitched an excellent game,” Anderson said. “When they got runners on base, he trust-ed his defense and kept coming at guys. He made big pitch after big pitch after big pitch after big pitch.”It was dicier than it should have been. After Bliss’ day was done, North cut into Davie’s 6-1 lead in the bottom of the seventh.

DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, March 14, 2024 ‑ B3 Stokes County is de-monstrably one of the counties that’s deeply em-bedded in what’s known to deer hunters as North Caro-lina’s “trophy belt.”So it was no surprise on Sunday when the Dix-ie Deer Classic in Raleigh crowned the biggest bucks taken in the Tarheel State last season, that a Stokes County deer wound up on the throne.The surprise? The hunt-er, Rick Nightengale, is from St. Matthews, S.C.Nightengale has a long-time friend from the Stokes County town of Pinnacle, Jonathan Humphrey, who invites him to hunt on his property regularly – and Nightengale returns the fa-vor.On one of those hunts, Nov. 7, Nightingale dropped an enormous buck, 202 pounds on the hoof, with a massive, tall, 13-point rack. Official scor-ers for the Boone & Crock-ett Club put a tape measure on the buck at the Dixie Deer Classic and came up with 170 inches – exactly – which happens to be the minimum for entry into the club’s all-time record book, undoubtedly the apex of a deer hunter’s career.Nightingale’s buck, killed with a CVA Wolf muzzleloader and 295-grain Barnes bullet, was the largest typical buck taken in North Carolina during the 2023 season and is the 38th North Carolina deer in history to qualify for the B&C’s all-time re-cord book. It ties for second among four bucks taken by muzzleloader in North Car-olina, and it’s the fourth buck from Stokes County to make the “book.” Neigh-boring Rockingham Coun-ty leads the list with seven, with Guilford County – which shares a border with Stokes and Rockingham, also listed with four.Humphrey had trail-camera photos of the huge buck in 2022, and he had a few photos early last fall. The buck began to make regular appearances in October, then showing up a few times during day-light hours on a corn pile in front of one of Hum-prey’s stands. Humphrey planned to hunt only for the big buck, but when he was unable to hunt on Nov. 6 and 7 because of work, he let Nightengale sit in the stand. He left specific in-structions that the only deer that could be taken from that stand was the big buck, and Nightengale had better not miss.Nightengale didn’t see anything the afternoon of Nov. 6, but the morning of Nov. 7, the buck showed up a few minutes after legal hunting hours began and ran a doe off the corn pile. Slowly, he made his way to the bait, and Nightengale sent a 295-grain Barnes bullet through his near shoulder, angling down and back. The shot, from 70 yards, knocked the buck to the ground, but it got up and raced away. A couple of hours later, with Humphrey and two friends, they were able to find the buck about 125 yards away, despite having only a single drop of blood, tracks and some disturbed leaves to go on.The entire hunt and recovery is on video, be-cause Humphrey has a Grayson Clayton’s 163-inch Forsyth County buck was the biggest taken in North Carolina last season with a crossbow. David Kiefer’s 175-inch non-typical from Davidson County was the biggest non-typi- cal buck taken with a muzzleloader in 2023. Rick Nightengale’s 170-inch Stokes County buck was the biggest typical killed in North Carolina last season; it qualified for the Boone & Crockett Club’s all-time re- cord book. YouTube page, “Pinna-cle Outdoor Traditions.” The video can be viewed at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=czT7j4B3t-kE&t=6s.“(Jonathan) had this buck on camera, and in 2022, he said he was a big deer. In 2023, he first had him on camera late in ar-chery season, and he said he’d really gotten bigger,” Nightingale said. “He didn’t have daylight pix un-til a couple of days before muzzleloader opened; he was coming out consistent-ly on the same bait pile.”The buck carried a typi-cal 6x6 rack with one stick-er point on the left brow tine, 1.78 inches long. The buck had a gross score of 177.78, with few deduc-tions for a deer of that size. The buck had a 17-inch in-side spread, 24-inch main beams, 5-inch bases and five tines longer than 10 inches – 12 1/8 11 6/8, 11 1/8, and 10 1/8 – and a sixth at 9 5/8 inches. The spent bullet was found just un-der the skin on the opposite side of the buck’s chest.“This is a one-in-a-mil-lion deer,” Nightingale said after being presented the Best in Show plaque at the Dixie Deer Classic.Of the other bucks that were declared tops in dif- ferent categories were three from the southern Pied-mont – Anson and Stanly counties, and three from Rockingham County. Be-sides Nightengale’s mon-ster, the biggest typicals taken in North Carolina last year were a 163 7/8-inch buck from Vance County, taken by Carson Reese, a 163 3/8-inch buck taken by Jonathan Grayson in Rutherford County, and a 163-inch buck taken with a crossbow by Grayson Clay-ton in Forsyth County.Here is a list of North Carolina category winners:• Best by crossbow (youth): Ransom Summers, Orange County, 140 2/8;• Best by crossbow (adult male): Grayson Clayton, Forsyth County, 163;• Best by crossbow (fe-male)/President’s Award: Jadyn Featherstone, Stanly County, 156 1/8;;• Best typical by bow (female): Chesney Luck, Moore County, 136 3/8;• Best typical by bow (male): Michael Skipper, Cumberland County, 158 1/8;• Best non-typical by bow (female): Patricia Cole, Vance County, 144 7/8;• Best non-typical by muzzleloader (male): Da- vid Kiefer, Davidson Coun-ty, 175;• Best typical by muz-zleloader (female): Ansley Vaughn, Durham County, 123 1/8;• Best typical by muz-zleloader (youth): Levi Parker, Stanly County, 150 5/8;• Best typical by gun (fe-male youth): Brianna Turn-er, Randolph County, 130;• Best typical by gun (male youth): Gavin Phil-lips, Rockingham County, 149 6/8;• Best non-typical by gun (female youth): Ivah Litwin, Anson County, 149 2/8;• Best non-typical (male): Jonathan Grayson, Rutherford County, 163 3/8;• Best typical by gun (fe-male): Lauren Cain, Rock-ingham County, 145 5/8;• Best typical by gun (male): Carson Reese, Vance County, 163 1/8;• Best typical by muz-zleloader (male)/Best in Show: Rick Nightengale, Stokes County, 170;• 1President’s Award: Alan Webb, Orange Coun-ty, 172 1/8 (non-typical); andPresident’s Award: B.J.

Sports Briefs JV baseball loses to West, North over after the top of the first, when the Titans pushed across six runs. Davie lost 6-2 in six in-nings (two-hour time limit) to visiting North Davidson on March 7, but this was a good game for five innings. Davie (1-2 record) took a 1-0 lead in the second; it was 1-1 after three. North, leading 3-2 after five, busted it open in a three-run sixth. “We kept it close for a while,” varsity coach Joey Anderson said. “Ayden Sanders started (on the mound) and threw well.” Gem ... Anderson said. “Sometimes you’ve got to struggle to figure out this is what’s wrong and this is what I’ve got to fix.”Leadoff Coy James went 2-3 with three runs and two doubles, and No. 2 man Carson Queen went 2-2 with two runs and a triple while reaching base four times. The top six in the order had the nine hits: Bliss (1-3), Stewart (1-4), Drew Krause (1-3) and Hunter Potts (2-3). One of the hottest bats is Queen (4-8 on the season). James broke loose after a slow start. “Coy started us off from our first at-bat and we put some runs on the board,” Anderson said. “We spread the hits out throughout the lineup. Hunter squared up a couple good ones, kept his weight back and used the whole field.” Landon Packard rounded out Davie’s dominating score with 37s. The War Eagles were still on fire at Oak Valley, where they beat Calvary 147-164. The scorching score was a testament to E. Owen and Cooper Drum’s 1-under 35s, Spillman’s 36 and Anderson Beliveau’s 38. The top four were so good Davie didn’t need B. Owen’s 39 and 41s from Sean Coates, Griffin Russell and Stephen Vernon. Golf team scorching www.ourdavie.com DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, March 14, 2024 - B5 The Davie JV softball team scored in the bottom of the last inning to beat visiting South Iredell 5-4 in four innings on March 4. It was 4-4 going into Da-vie’s final at-bat as the 1:30 time limit expired. “Brianna (Tolar) pitched a great game,” varsity coach Nathan Handy said. “Kiana (Steinhoff, who had two hits) had a good offensive day. She had a ball that hit off the fence in left field. She’s got some power.”One day later, Tolar Continued From Page B1matter of time before her first (Davie) home run. She’s very strong.”Davie roared to a 4-0 lead in the fifth. Carleigh Croom’s triple plated Jaedyn Altiers and Raney Phelps’ single knocked in one. Phelps arrived on the scene in a big way, the fresh-man batting third and get-ting a hit in each of the first three games. The only other War Eagle who did that was cleanup batter Jaydn Davis. “Raney earned her spot in the 3-hole at practice,” Handy said. “The week before our Forbush scrim-mage, in the cages and on the field, she was just rip-ping everything. I mean, she was squaring everything up, and then in the Forbush scrimmage she busted it open with a home run and went 5 for 6 for the day. She is a very selective hitter. She does just as good hitting as she does taking a pitch and getting a walk.”Brown went 2-3 with a double and two RBIs. Going 1-3 were Croom, Phelps, Davis and Ashley Bledsoe. “We battled hard and fought,” he said. Davie 6, Forbush 1It was 0-0 before the visiting War Eagles came to bat in the top of the sixth on March 5. Croom singled with one out and Phelps fol-lowed with a walk. For-bush changed pitchers and suddenly the offense began to click at microwave-pop-corn-level rhythms - bang-bang-bang-bang. Davis singled. Two War Eagles reached base before Potts singled home a pair. Then J. Altiers singled as Davie batted around, went up 5-0 and produced four of its seven hits in the sixth. “Their starting pitcher shut us down. Kudos to her,” Handy said. “They changed to a faster pitcher (after Davie had been) out in front of everything. It made a world of difference. We hit more hard balls in that one inning than we did the entire game.”Croom and Davis both went 2-4 as Davie won its third straight following a season-opening loss. Davis is the cleanup stick along with playing a huge position in the field (shortstop). “Jaydn plays softball. That’s all she does and she’s a gamer,” Handy said. “She plays better under pressure. The bigger the moment, the better she plays. This was her second game at Streak ... shortstop. She really hasn’t played a lot of shortstop in her career but she’s doing a great job.”Potts didn’t set any K re-cords this time, but she still came through in a big way: seven inning, four hits, zero earned runs, one walk, eight strikeouts. “It’s definitely a big win,” he said. “I take none of the credit because the girls played their butts off. Riley did not buckle under pressure.”The defensive play of the game was easy for Handy to identify. Delaney Parsons initially mishandled a bullet in left field, but she made a smooth recovery and ignited a first-inning out at home that kept the Falcons off the board. “The cleanup batter hit a shot right at Delaney,” Handy said. “Delaney had to come in five or six steps. The ball was tailing away from her and it slipped out of her glove. But Delaney made up for it instantly. She picked the ball up and made a fantastic throw to the cut (to third baseman Raelyn Lankford). The cut made a great throw to home (to catcher Hanna Steinour). It was a bang-bang play and we were lucky enough to get the call. That play changed the momentum of the game.” SUMMIT EYE CARE | DR. VIC KHEMSARA | DR.

B6 - DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, March 14, 2024 Continued From Page B1and sternness and kindness and wisdom. He spent hours in his garden growing tomatoes, but he ate nails for lunch. Bimmy was tough as you-know-what, but he’d walk next door to tie Jan Coleman’s shoes after her mother Pat Jordan passed away. Coach Parker was gruff and charming. He gave swim lessons at the Cool-eemee Pool, and there’s no telling how many ladies considered faking a drown-ing to get his attention.You were automatical-ly one of his if you were from Cooleemee, but he let “outsiders” into his home - I saw this firsthand - and treated them like family. Bimmy was big and tough, but also a softie. He had a blast coaching girls softball late in his career.Bimmy was a jokester, but he was all business between the lines. Matt Marion thought he was a goner when Coach Parker stormed out the door firing a track starter gun before baseball practice.Bimmy meant what he said and said what he meant. The first time he saw Fran Logan, a stun-ning 18-year-old from Clearwater, Fla., he said he was gonna marry that girl - and he did just that in 1969.Bimmy could be intim-idating - heck, his own son Steven was afraid to cross him, while Alicia was the epitome of a daddy’s girl - and then a doting grand-father. Bimmy enjoyed drink-ing beer with the boys in his 20s, but he was a father/role model drinking milk in his 30s. Bimmy was quiet but outgoing. He was a straight shooter, but measured his words carefully. Bimmy was a beast of a man and a teddy bear. Coach Parker retired 26 years ago, but he was sort of a coach ‘til his death. Once you played on his team, he was your coach for life. Coach Parker hated to lose, but he lost gracefully with no excuses. Coach Parker mostly won because his teams were prepared, disciplined and had his swagger. If he had you outmanned - like most of his South Da-vie football teams in the 1980s - you had no chance because he wasn’t going to screw it up. In games that could go either way, the Tigers knew Coach Parker would figure something out. In 1987, North Davie carried a 3-0 record to South, and the Wildcats were dying to finally beat the mighty Tigers. It was 0-0 in the fourth quarter and overtime looked likely. But Coach Parker saved his favorite trick play - a reverse to receiver Allan Chapman - for third-and-goal from the 11 with only 1:32 remaining. Chapman walked into the end zone and South won 8-0. It was a soul-crushing loss for the Wildcats, who never recovered.North coach Sam Beck was steamed and called a rare Saturday practice. It wound up compound-ing the situation. Three starters - running backs Owen Freuler and Robin Campbell and lineman Brian Foster - broke their collarbones within an hour. Now the Wildcats were being held together by duct tape and hope and they finished 3-4. Bimmy was proud of his era, cherished his teammates and could talk all day about 1962-63, but he kept individual accom-plishments to himself. Gary Blalock was a handful as a kid. Coach Parker became his father figure, taught him to walk a straight and narrow path and now Blalock preaches at Shining Light Baptist Church in Greensboro. Coach Parker was short and to the point and brutal-ly honest. Jason McCray didn’t like a strike and muttered something to the ump. Coach Parker came storming down the line; McCray thought he was about to get chewed out. Coach Parker blew past McCray and told the ump, “Get it up!” and walked right back to the third-base box.Coach Parker couldn’t have told you his career record. His legacy was much bigger than wins and losses; part of it was being a badass leader who knew how to motivate kids and keep them in line.Jesse “Bubba” Coleman was cuttin’ up and threw Coach Parker’s tomatoes off his house while the Parkers were on vacation. Andy Everhardt got dis-tracted and got picked off first. Britt Osborne missed the cutoff man and hit Coach Parker square in the back. Coach Parker gave them all verbal hits and verbal hugs. Coach Parker was not partial, even if you lived next-door and rode with him to and from school. As a seventh grader at South Davie Junior High, Bubba played left field but did not bat all year. Coach Parker called David Streit’s pitches for three years. Streit decided to shake him off one time and Coach Parker yelled “Time!” He met Streit at the foul line and said: “What in the blueberries are you doing shaking me off!? If you shake me off another time, you’ll be sitting over there on the bench beside Stacey Chaffin.”•••Bimmy (no one knows exactly how he got the nickname) was impossibly talented at sports. “In my opinion, he’s the best all-around athlete that Davie’s ever hard,” said Ken Boger, who played catcher for Davie. “I think he would have had a future in professional baseball had he wanted to go that route.”“He was unbelievable (in baseball),” Roger Pierce said. “Bimmy could do it all. I haven’t seen anybody who could come close to him - not all-around.”The late Jack Ward was his football coach at Davie. “He always had that keen competitive look in his eye,” Ward said in 2004. “He was quiet. He’s not one of those fellas that’s going to be real colorful or real pretty, but he’s going to beat you. You wouldn’t really know he was around until the game started. He didn’t do a lot of things to put attention on himself. But when the ball went up on the kick-off, whatever he could do to beat you, that’s what he was going to do. “At 16 and 17, Bimmy was mature, quiet and resolved. He was intense and focussed about what we were going to do at 8 o’clock. You didn’t have to look over your shoul-der and see what Bimmy was doing. Was he getting ready? Was he doing this? Was he doing that? He was thinking about whippin’ you.”John Parker, a pro pitcher for seven years, cost his older brother a perfect game by making an error on a routine play at first base. “I stayed away from him for days,” John said in 2004. “I knew what was coming. I had to sleep in the same room with him. It was either at the locker room, getting embarrassed in front of them guys, or standing toe to toe at the house. It was tough growing up with him. He hated to lose. Losing hurt him and we used to fight a lot. He just wasn’t a loser. Nobody likes to lose, but he just took it to heart.”George Daywalt was Bimmy’s Legion catcher for three years.

Continued From Page B6“Bimmy was a hard-core athlete,” Daywalt said. “He’d give every-thing he had.”Bimmy grew up on Davie Street and raised his family on Duke Street. He never left Cooleemee and made staying around the house cool. “On Saturdays and Sundays, if we played at 5 o’clock in the evening, we’d have our suits on at 9 o’clock in the morn-ing,” Bimmy said. “If it rained, we’d just about cry because we wanted to play ball so bad. We’d all go up behind the old school with a stick and a tennis ball. We’d throw that ball as hard as we could against the brick.”In the late 1950s, a tornado really did hit Cool-eemee. “They didn’t have sense enough to come home, so momma had to send me to the park to get those boys to come home,” Bimmy’s sister, Patty Lookabill, said in 2004. “They were just meandering along with Mike Jordan and Nemo (Woodward). The tornado tore down the fence at the ballpark. From the ballpark down Ruffin Street, it did right much damage. It’s a wonder we didn’t get killed. We had to stop and get on the porch at First Baptist Church. Lightning struck the message board and it scared the daylights out of us.”Bimmy’s Cooleemee Midget baseball team won the Salisbury Rec title. One year his Little League team went 8-0. Bimmy pitched all eight games and hit .526. “He was a rising fifth grader playing with rising eighth and ninth graders,” Woodward said. “We won the league that year. I was on the team but didn’t get to play much. Bimmy played shortstop and pitch-er; I was his catcher. He was such a good pitcher, most of the guys couldn’t hit him and a lot of guys couldn’t catch him.”Cooleemee’s seventh/eighth basketball team went 8-0 in 1957-58 and Bimmy was the only sev-enth-grade starter. Charles Crenshaw played for Mocksville. “Everybody heard of him before you saw him,” Crenshaw said. “You knew who Grimes Parker was and everybody was just in awe of him. I remember the first game I ever played Little League, we played them. He pitched the game and hit two home runs. We played at Rich Park and he hit ‘em way out.”As a senior foot- ball player at Davie in 1962, Bimmy was a 6-2, 175-pound quarterback who helped lead Davie to runner-up in the North Piedmont Conference behind unbeaten North Rowan, which edged Davie 7-6. “Bimmy could throw or he could keep the ball,” Ward said. “The best thing was his leadership. We wanted to win and Bimmy brought everybody along the same tracks.”John was the backup quarterback in 1962. “Grimes is the only one I ever remember that called his own plays,” John said. “He just had a feel for the game. He just knew what was coming next.”“When you stepped in the huddle, you shut up,” Woodward said. Bimmy played varsity basketball as a freshman. He was All-NPC as a junior and senior. With Bimmy running point guard, the 1961-62 Rebels went 17-5 and won the NPC at 13-1. Bill Evans, Chuck Tomlinson, Jim Anderson, Junior Beal and Parker all averaged 8-plus points. The 1962-63 team led by Parker, Anderson, Gary McDaniel, Commie Shoffner and Woodward finished second. “He would just as soon make a good pass as score,” Woodward said. “He could have scored more, but we had such a good team he didn’t need to score,” Crenshaw said. “He’d throw a lot of no-look, hard passes.”“If one certain player was the star player of a team, Grimes would guard him,” Harry Lee Howell said. In baseball, Bimmy started at third base as a freshman, was all-NPC as a junior and was all-state as a senior, when he threw two no-hitters, set records for strikeouts (18 in one game) and wins and led the NPC with a .589 average, which remains a school record. He went 9-1 on the mound and averaged 11 Ks a game. Davie went 13-2 and won the program’s first conference title. “He was as strong as a horse,” Pierce said. “I can remember him hitting two opposite-field home runs in the same game, and that was a pretty good shot then at Rich Park,” Boger said. “I remember one game he hit one out in left-cen-ter, came up the next time and hit one out in right-center,” Crenshaw said. “And he probably pitched the game, too. A lot of guys said he had an awesome knuckleball, but he didn’t hardly ever use it. He mostly could just throw it by everybody.”“He’s as good a third baseman as I’ve ever seen,” Daywalt said. In a Legion game in the summer of 1963, Bimmy hit a mammoth homer that was hit so far it befuddled the umpires. They lost track of the ball, got together and incorrect-ly ruled it a ground-rule double. “The game started right before the sun went down,” Woodward said. “The lights were on but it was hard to see long fly balls in the light sky. Grimes hit one to right-center that I saw clear the fence by 50 feet - at least 425 feet. Neither umpire picked up the flight of the ball and they called it a ground-rule double. Grimes never said a word, just grinned.”At Wingate Junior Col-lege, Bimmy started two years at third base and hit over .400 as a sophomore. In a doubleheader against Spartanburg, he went 3 for 5 in both games. Against Wake Forest, he made two sparkling plays that helped Wingate’s pitcher preserve a no-hitter. He hung up baseball when he finished his education at Appala-chian State. “Scouts from the White Sox and Yankees came to see me hit at Rich Park,” Bimmy said. “They said they were interested, but I wasn’t. At that time, I just didn’t want to go.”“He was a homebody,” Patty said. In the next chapter of Bimmy’s life, he was Coach Parker. He spent 12 years at Cooleemee (K-8) and 18 at South Davie. His tough-love style produced championships in every sport he coached - football, baseball and softball. •••Well, we could do this all day, couldn’t we? The moments and the stories are never-ending. To this point, this fare-well, which took me four days, has been fun because it has brought smiles and laughter. But now my hands are trembling. The ending is one of the hardest things these fingers have typed in my 29 years behind a keyboard.I am truly honored to offer the final words (in print) on Coach Parker, even though he never coached me a single time on the ballfield. Coach Parker was short and to the point; I’m not that at all (sorry, Mr. Parker, but I’m trying hard to get the words out). Here we go. The heartbeat of Cool- eemee died on March 3 at age 78. We like to say when someone passes that “there will never be another like him.” Usually it’s an exaggeration, but not this time. The best we can hope to do is live a life that makes others remember us fondly. Bimmy/Coach Parker aced that test. We’re sad and Cooleemee is crying. There’s no other way to put this than: It absolutely sucks. We’ll never forget his badass glare/teddy bear heart. There was only one Grimes “Bimmy” Parker. There will always be only one Grimes “Bimmy” Parker. Sat., March 23 • 11 AM ‘til Sold Out Take Out Only.

He was a regular at Eddie’s Place during the spring and summer months, but in the winter time, he wasn’t there much due to the fact that it got too dark in the evening for him to drive. He was one of the finest men I’ve known, a true Christian, and a great singer and guitar picker. For all those that played music with him or saw his videos on Facebook posted by Gerald (Bo) Messick, he will be missed. We hope he left knowing how much he was loved and appreciated. I hope the photos will bring back fond memories.Local musicians are fea-tured Friday evenings from 6-8 at MawMaw’s Restau-rant.
