By Mike BarnhardtEnterprise Record The cancer diagnosis Brian Jacobs received would have sent many people into a de-pression and possibly an early retirement.But not Jacobs, the chief deputy for the Davie County Sheriff’s Office, who not only survived the treatments, but did so with an “I’ve got this” positive attitude and continued dedication to the residents of Davie County.Last month, he was recog-nized by county commission-ers as he was awarded the advanced law enforcement certificate, and a 25-year ser-vice award from the state.“Through all of this, he has continued to work, he has con-tinuted to serve the citizens of this county,” said Sheriff JD Hartman. “There are some days I think, how did he get here today? But he’s there working for ya’ll.”The advanced law enforce-ment certificate, which Hart-man encourages all of his of-ficers to obtain, requires some 69 points in an accreditation, with 20 hours of training earn-ing the officer one point.Jacobs started with the sheriff’s office in 1999, and after a few years elsewhere, came back to Davie, where he has served as a patrol deputy, detective, school resource of-ficer (lead officer for 9 years), watch commander, captain of the patrol division and chief deputy for the past three years.“He does a tremendous job,” Hartman said. “I’m blessed to have him and the citizens of this county are blessed to have By Meredith RatledgeWord Master Media Group In 1972, Phil Fuller set out to start his own business, em-barking on a lifelong journey in local manufacturing. At 19 years old, his determi-nation and passion for welding helped him lay the foundation for what would become Full-er Welding and Fabricators in Mocksville.More than five decades lat-er, Fuller Welding stands as a testament to his commitment to craftsmanship and the com-munity.“I went through the Forsyth Technical Community College welding program in 1971. I started this business because I was interested in the weld-ing profession, and now, it’s turned into so much more than that,” he said.The company creates metal-work, providing custom laser and water-jet cutting and sev-eral in-house CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machin-ing and fabrication services. “We’re a full-service met-al fabrication and machining “Ignite Davie is set to be one of the most positive things that the people of Davie County have invested in. We want to be a part of that. This will be a model program that other counties will try to mimic.” - Phill Fuller - Workers manipulate aluminum at Fuller Welding & Fabricators in Mocksville, a founding “Employer of Choice” with the Ignite Davie College Promise Program. - Photo by Meredith Ratledge Company believes in community operation. We make parts for many industries, like food, medical, transportation, retail, and advertising,” Fuller said. “We try to give good deliv-eries and provide quality prod-ucts in a timely fashion. We give our customers what they want when they need it.” Phil and Darlene Fuller have been enthusiastic sup-porters of the Ignite Davie College Promise (ID) program since its inception. Like other partners, they recognized that education is one of the most critical factors in a communi-ty’s economic success. By offering tuition assis-tance to attend Davidson-Da-vie Community College (DDCC), ID seeks to raise the educational attainment of Da-vie students. By the end of Fall 2023, nearly 350 students had ben-efited from scholarships that allowed them to attend DDCC tuition-free, enabling them to achieve more than 130 certif-icates, degrees, and diplomas.“We’re probably educat-ing students through ID who wouldn’t have the chance for higher education. I want ev-erybody to have the oppor-tunity to improve their future through education.“I saw firsthand what an ed-ucation takes and what it does for students, and I want that for anybody who desires to de-velop this ability and has the drive to do that,” Fuller said.To date, ID has invested over $300,000 in local stu-dents. “Ignite Davie is set to be one of the most positive things that the people of Davie Coun-ty have invested in,” said Full-er. “We want to be a part of that. This will be a model pro-gram that other counties will try to mimic.”Fuller Welding became the first ID Employer of Choice. The initiative was designed to encourage businesses to sup-portID while helping to raise the final $1 million to fully en-dow the college promise pro-gram for future generations.In addition to benefiting the local community, Fuller believes partnering with ID is simply good business. “My wife and I decided this was a really good investment for us. And I do see this as an investment; I don’t see this as a donation.“I want to challenge every business in Davie County to make a contribution to Ignite Davie,” Fuller said.The Employer of Choice program helps local business-es stay in students’ minds as they enter the workforce after Please See Fuller - Page 4 Chief deputy honored Brian Jacobs still committed through illness Please See Jacobs - Page 11 2 ‑ DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, April 4, 2024Editorial Page USPS 149-160 171 S.

Tell uswhat you think Direction of education frightening Guest Editorial To the editor:Mr. Musselman, there is nothing tedious about public debate on such a prominent issue. I am an Independent and try to view each candidate on the merits of their voting records and philosophies regarding representing “We, The People”. This starts right here in Davie County and up to the national elections. I agree with Mr. Carroll, who asks a legitimate question. I would like to see some of those emails, Mr. Carroll, but only if they use critical thinking and are honest assessments of the candidates.Here some easily verified facts from Wikipedia, Politi-co and streams of other web-based news:Biden; Undergrad at University of Delaware, JD from Syracuse University, Senator from 1972-2009, VP twice under Obama, President 2021-present. 81+ years old, no criminal history via a search through Google. I believe this country needs a younger Democratic candidate.Trump; Undergrad from Penn’s Wharton School, real estate developer, business developer, TV realty host. No previous political experience. Voted POTUS, Jan. 20, 2017-Jan. 20, 2021. First US President in history to face criminal charges, 91 in all. Mr. Trump and several of his adult children along with Trump Organization’s CFO have been convicted in NY Civil Court of operating a decade-long fraud scheme. Mr. Trump has been convicted of sex-ual abuse and defamation, with two of those three cases settled by a jury. His Trump Organization was convicted of seventeen tax fraud counts by a jury. He will start a criminal case in NY for violating cam-paign finance laws regarding alleged hush money he paid associated with a sexual tryst with a woman while he was married. Then, there is a RICO case against him in Geor-gia, the indictment in DC brought against him for election interference (January 6th, 2021), the indictment in Flor- ida where the DOJ has charged Trump with thirty-seven felonies for willfully taking national-security information, obstruction of justice, withholding of documents and false statements.In days gone by, this type of candidate wouldn’t show their face in public.“It is the border” cannot be the main reason to elect someone. While the government’s position has been dis-mal for almost 50 years, it has been both parties not ad-dressing the hard issues that need to balance the humane leadership that this country stands for and the no-nonsense needs of its current citizenry. We are losing some educated, experienced lawmakers because of the chaos produced by the Freedom Caucus, aka, the MAGA Squad. It is obvious our voters are getting their information from glitzy TV ads, “calls to arms”, ex-tremist media outlets or sound bites, whether true or not.What really frightens me, however, is our education system. This system is being undermined by low pay, con-strained budgets, school voucher choice, government in-trusion and school board takeovers by extremists. Civics lessons are either deleted or so washed over that they do not educate our children regarding our country’s forma-tion, history and involvement in world affairs, warts and all. Several late-night hosts over the years have done on-street interviews with people (non-political) and asked them basic questions that were on the Naturalization Test immigrants take to gain citizenship. Considering the number of wrong answers produced in those unscientific “polls”, Mr. Carroll, the electorate appears not to have the knowledge nor the resources to vote for strong leaders.Christian AndersonMocksville To the editor:I read Kurt Musselman's piece he sent to the editor re-garding Presidential election about the border.I missed Mr. Carroll's questions that he referred to, so I'm not really sure if the three questions Mr. Musselman listed were all of the questions. Mr. Musselman answered the three questions, and then went on a tangent about the Democrat Party and President Biden.I found many of Mr. Musselman's remarks humorous and was not completely such if he was really serious, but as I continued reading I believe it’s safe to say he was se-rious and is a Republican.There were a few things Mr. Musselman said that I would like to address. First is the comment that the Demo-crat Party and President Biden created the border crisis via executive order, failed legislation and failed leadership. While I somewhat agree in part of his statement, it’s not totally true.The truth is, the southern border has had serious prob-lems for many decades. Democrats, Republicans and for-mer administrations all have to share in the lack of action and responsibility. Lack of new legislation to deal with issyes at the southern border us the real problem. Really the question should be: Does either political party really want to fix the problem, or just use it as a political cam-paign pledge?As for failed legislation, there was a bipartisan border bill that was introduced to the House of Representatives which had benefits to help solve many of the problems at the southern border. The bill had things that the Republi-cans had wanted, and some things Democrats wanted. Was it perfect, no, but it could have given needed legislation to President Biden and all future Presidents to deal with the border issues. But the Republicans would not hear of it. Why? Because Donald Trump said not to.Second, I take exception to Mr. Musselman’s statement regarding Former President Trump not being a threat to our democracy, he was without a doubt a big threat and continues to be a threat.Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell laid the re-sponsibility for the destruction of Jan. 6 2021 squarely on Trump, saying he did not act swiftly enough to tell the mob to go home once they breached the Capitol. “He did not do his job,” McConnell said “He didn’t take steps so federal law could be faithfully executed and order restored. No. Instead, according to public reports, he watched television happily – happily – as the chaos unfolded.”McConnell directly blamed former President Donald Trump for fomenting the riot on Jan. 6 of inciting an insur-rection. McConnell sharply criticized Trump in a speech on the Senate floor, saying the rioters had been “fed wild falsehoods by the most powerful man on Earth,” because he was angry, he’d lost an election. Former President Trump’s actions that preceded the riot were disgraceful, a disgraceful dereliction of duty. Trump is practically and morally responsible for provoking the events of the day.”You may choose to ignore the things Trump did on Jan. 6, and all the hatred he has spread across America, all lies he has told, how he is making a mockery of our laws and how he is destroying our country, but I can not.It is absolutely horrifying to me that any American would want a person like Trump as the leader of our coun-try after his disgraceful and destructive actions of Jan. 6.When Americans can overlook a person with disgrace-ful and destructive attributes, can accept a person who promotes cultural hate, are willing to accept a person with personalities types of a narcissist, can accept a serial liar, are willing to accept a sexual assaulter, can accept a per-son who admirers murderous dictators, and can accept a person that has many felony indictments against them, that concerns me greatly.I’m sure many Republican supporters will say, what about Biden. But the real reality is, it’s not Joe Biden who is spreading hate and false information across America; it’s not Joe Biden that has tried to overturn an election; it’s not Joe Biden who was found guilty of sexual assault; it’s not Joe Biden who was found guilty of fraud in NY; and it’s not Joe Biden who kept more then 280 highly classi-fied documents, and did not cooperate to return them; and it’s not Joe Biden who is facing many felony indictments. It is Trump.What Trump has done and continues to do, should be clear to all Americans, Trump is destroying our democ-racy and our rules of law are in jeopardy. And it should be obvious to Americans that Trump’s main object to win the upcoming Presidential election, has nothing to do with caring about our country, its about dismissing all the feder-al cases against him and disrupting all state cases. In other words, get away with all his crimes.William Arnold, Mocksville Writer can’t ignore Trump’s actions Remembering MocksvilleBy Larry SmithA walk in past time ... down North Main Street ... to the site of the old Mocksville High and middle school ... re-membering a mailbox on the corner and a trip to the princi-pal's office ... past the gym that I played many a basketball game ... then by the street to Rich Park ... remembering summers spend ... playing baseball and weekly trips to Lake Hide-a-way ... the first three seasons of my Rebel football were played at Rich Park ... then back to town on North Main ... by the site where my grandfathers Esso sta-tion was located ...

Indeed, owning a home was part of the American Dream of getting ahead economically. Sure, it might take a young household a few years to accumulate enough for a down payment, but once that was accom-plished and the home bought, the wealth-building started.In fact, it was common for a household to purchase many homes over their lifetime. The wealth accumulated from the first home would be used to purchase a more ex-pensive home. A few years later, that home would be sold and an even more expensive home bought. The advantage of this process was each more expensive home would gen-erate greater wealth. Then, at retirement, the most expen-sive home could be sold to generate wealth and income for retirement.But using a home to accumulate lifetime wealth has become harder. A big reason is that buying a home has be-come more expensive. The homeownership affordability index dropped 15% in just the last year. The home price to income ratio has risen almost 50% in the last decade. The percentage of households who are homeowners is well be-low the level prior to the pandemic.One of the reasons the process of accumulating housing wealth worked was that housing is unique among things we buy. Other products we own, like clothing, vehicles and furniture, can be moved to different locations. But not a house, except in rare situations or with mobile homes, which only comprise 6% of the housing stock. A dwelling is tied to the land underneath it.Furthermore, unlike clothing, vehicles and furniture, where manufacturers can make more when people want more, more dwellings usually can’t be made at a particular site. The only recourse is to build multiple stories, which significantly increases the cost.The major reason most homes increase in value over time is that the land underneath the structure has become more valuable. As Mark Twain once said, “buy land; they’re not making any more of it.” Twain was correct. While more clothing, vehicles, and furniture can be manu-factured as the population grows, more land can’t be made. It’s not just land anywhere that becomes more valuable. It’s particularly land in areas where people want to live. In the 21st century, this has meant mainly land in urban areas. The restructuring of the U.S. economy in the 21st century to focus on technology, medicine, finance and the professions has increased the benefit of living in big cities, where a continual flow of workers in these fields graduate from local universities and colleges. Young workers like the dining, entertainment and shopping amenities in cities.So what can be done to make home ownership more affordable? Some say it will happen when the Federal Reserve lowers its interest rate, which should prompt the interest rate on home loans — termed the mortgage rate — to fall. But the problem is, when mortgage rates drop, the increase in buyers prompts home prices to rise more. Housing affordability could still improve, but it may not be by as much as buyers would expect.A long-time recommendation for improving home af-fordability is to update the regulations regarding housing construction with a goal of making changes to reduce con-struction costs. One problem with this approach is that many of the regulations address reasonable goals, like safety, durability, compatibility with the neighborhood and protection of the environment. The competing goals of lower construction costs and broader benefits has impeded progress on this approach.Governments, especially local governments, have been called on to help improve housing affordability. Many have responded, including some in North Carolina. One approach is to require builders of housing developments to price a certain percentage of their units at a level afford-able to lower income buyers. However, since developers must recover all costs, this likely means builders finance those subsidies by charging higher prices for other units. Another governmental approach is using public mon-ey to subsidize some housing units to make them more affordable. While certainly a direct approach, the public budget required for this kind of program to have a signifi-cant impact is likely not affordable.

A few lessons were learned along the way which I would like to share. What are you culti-vating or growing in your garden? What are you weeding out? During a continuing education class, our prompt was: “In the spirit of Springtime, what are you planting or cul-tivating, and what are you weeding out?” I couldn’t help but chuckle, as I have recently honored my promise to learn to drive the tractor my dad left me and plant some sort of garden. After a stressful week, I spent two entire days learning to plow a field, cultivate and disc it, and fi-nally plant some seeds. My husband taught me how to op-erate the tractor. I figured out quickly that Birkenstocks are not the proper footwear when attempting to drive a tractor! Note to self (NTS) - Get better tractor-driving footwear!I also learned that Ford makes tractors for exceptionally strong people. I literally had to stand up to leverage the brake with enough force to stop the tractor. Also, the next day, the muscles in my legs were so sore, I struggled to walk. My husband went off to work that Saturday; I de-cided to go it alone. Later, my Aunt Ellen and Uncle Carl drove over. They didn’t say it, but I imagine the sound of the tractor and the fact I didn’t ask them for help set off a few alarm bells. They had offered to help, but I didn’t want to bother them.Carl had a good laugh at the circles in the field. Little did I know that is not the way you plow a field. Instead, I should have been plowing in rows, ensuring the back right tire was in the furrow from the last row I had made. Good news, after proper instruction, half the garden looked pret-ty good. NTS - Don’t be afraid to ask for help, especial-ly when you are new at something, to avoid having to go back and do it right later.Ellen was explaining what she knew about growing wa-termelons. Contrary to my husband’s notion: “Hey, I’ve grown watermelons just by spitting seeds into a field;” it’s a little trickier than that! After a lesson in hills versus rows and leaving room for the vines to roam, Ellen told me I might want to put some newspaper down over the areas I had planted. Why would I need newspapers on top of my garden? She explained that the hardest part of growing watermelons is keeping the weeds out. Newspaper would serve to keep some weeds down, but also keep the mois-ture in the ground.Back to the question at the beginning, I realized that rather than weeding out, I am working on avoiding the need to weed. Our personal and professional growth, like the watermelon, is complex. We need room to roam and we need to avoid the weeds. Focus on being proactive so the weeds of doubt, negativity, or lack of balance will not invade the garden. It took only one weekend in the gar-den, spending time outdoors doing something different, to refresh me. I welcomed Monday morning with a positive attitude, ready to roll. NTS - Time outdoors does a body good!I decided to plant wildflowers next to my watermelons. Turns out, wildflowers make great pollinators and are ex-cellent field companions for watermelons. Let me be com-pletely honest, I’m busy; I pictured planting wildflowers as the easiest crop. I envisioned myself tossing seeds into the wind. Once I received enough seed to plant half an acre, I quickly realized a seed-spreader was needed. My Apple watch clocked many steps that day; I collapsed onto the couch from exhaustion. NTS - Nothing is ever as easy as it seems!The wildflowers are a metaphor for what I am per-sonally “planting.” I take pride in being a futurist; I’m someone who is often able to see in my mind’s eye the way things will (or should) unfold. My personal growth has come from the unknown. I’m avoiding weeds of self-doubt; planting a note to self - sometimes it’s important to just take things one day at a time to avoid becoming overwhelmed, especially when you cannot predict how something will turn out.Wonderful thing about wildflowers - hearty yet unpre-dictable, they will surprise and delight. With a little luck and enough rain, the Phillips family will get to enjoy beau-tiful wildflowers and juicy sweet watermelons later this year. What will you be planting, cultivating or weeding?John GobbelBy Linda H. BarnetteOnce in a great while when you are working on family history you discover a file, handwritten and probably long forgotten. This happened to me one day a few years ago in the Genealogy Room at the Davidson County Public Library in Lexington. This treasure is a handwritten histo-ry of the Gobbel family through many years in Davidson County, written by Ida Snyder Finch, whose grandmother was in that family. I made a copy and read through it and put it aside until I started working on my series about Rev-olutionary War soldiers. I got it out recently and realized what a huge piece of history she had covered in those 15 pages written in 1949.Today we rely heavily on digital records that we often skip over handwritten material because it takes so much longer to go through. In any case, I discovered a couple of connections to my dad’s family through the Gobbel fami-ly. The first John’s son, John Nicholas, married Elizabeth Ratz, and through several generations of women in the tree came my relationship with John Gobbel. He was my 5th great-grandfather and served in the Revolutionary War.From Ancestry I gathered some copies of documents that prove his service. So it is with great pride that I learned of him. There is no grave marker for him, but Mrs. Finch said he was buried with other family members in the Gobbel Family graveyard on the old family farm not far from Sandy Creek where my people rest.

That is not the case with the Town of Mocksville in general and the Mocksville Fire Department in particular. Chief Frank Carter will tell you that “Constant Improvement” is his hashtag. Chief Carter has been a firefighter in Mocksville since 1988 and has served as Chief since 2003. Over the last decade especially he has worked tirelessly, but quietly, improving the department for the community. Most of MFD’s efforts began to bear fruit over the last few years. The department has evolved from an almost 100% volunteer force to a mostly paid part-time team due to demographic and work shifts seen all over the country. MFD is the only Hazardous Materials certified department in Davie County. Chief Carter successfully advocated for six full-time positions in 2022. He also worked with his team for over five years getting equipment and certifications in place for Heavy Rescue with the department earning that designation in 2022. In 2023 MFD was recognized for taking part in risk assessment program that reviewed policies, processes and personnel. In November 2023 Chief Carter and his staff underwent an ISO (Insurance Services Office) review. Six months of work and preparation preceded the inspection and in January 2024 the Office of the State Fire Marshall wrote, “The residents of the Mocksville Fire District can take comfort in knowing this highly capable team of firefighters from the Mocksville Fire Department is safeguarding them and their belongings in the event of an emergency.” The Town ISO rating improved 1 point and the unincorporated portion of the fire district improved by 6 points. These ratings can have a direct impact on what property owners pay for insurance. In fact, this insurance rating places MFD in the top 20% of all fire districts in the state. This is an impressive accomplishment for a community of our size. These achievements were the result of teamwork, planning and many hours of hard work. However, they only occurred because there was a leader with a vision that the MFD could be much better than “good”. On a larger scale, the same expectations are expressed in the Town of Mocksville’s Vision, Mission and Values. Our leadership team is committed to improving both Town departments and ourselves. This is the mentality that teams, businesses, organizations and communities need to become great. If you see Chief Carter or any of the dedicated firefighters of the MFD congratulate them for their accomplishments and commitment to constant improvement. Kenneth W.

Spring is here! The Popsicle Run and Shamrock 5k are behind us, so now we can ease into warmer weather. I would have liked to see a bit more snow over the winter months but am glad that we didn’t have to deal with icy roads and school closings that would push the end of the school year further into the summer months. We actually had a fairly mild winter. Be sure to keep a close eye on the calendar for all the events happening over the next several months. There are concerts, festivals, movies in the park, and many other activities planned for downtown. Jennifer Evens, with the Town of Mocksville, is working hard at planning all of our town events - so let’s take advantage of all that is offered right here in our own backyard. Don’t forget to check out the Davie Community Park this summer. They have a huge splash pad and many indoor and outdoor activities for Davie County residents to enjoy. This park is our newest in the county and sometimes I forget about all they have to offer. Paul Moore and his team are planning movies, concerts, and lots more in the coming months. Check out their website for more details. I notice chatter on social media fairly often about why no one builds a bowling alley or skating rink for our children and youth. “There is nothing for the kids to do”is always the go-to phrase. Have you been to Huffman’s lately? How about Cognition or the disc golf course in Farmington? Get out there and support the businesses and individuals who are trying to create a place for our youth and children. That, in turn, may encourage future development with larger venues like movie theaters, skate parks, and bowling alleys. Private developers will not come to our town and county if they do not see our residents supporting the businesses that are already here. Just a heads up - the NCDOT is planning to begin construction on the roundabout at the intersection of Farmington Road and Highway 158 as soon as school is out for the summer. I know how frustrating the delays that go along with construction can be. This project should be quick due to the absence of underground infrastructure in this area. Just plan for some brief delays and detours while we deal with road improvements. Improving traffic flow will benefit our citizens for years to come, and (believe it or not) there are fewer accidents at roundabouts compared to intersections with stop signs and stop lights. Despite our love of a small town atmosphere and our desire to keep a small town feel, we are growing. We can do our best to control the growth and be choosy about what sort of developments we want to come to town. Through good planning and restrictions, we have managed to preserve a “hometown”feel, unlike the urban sprawl and chaos we see on Hanes Mall Boulevard and Lewisville Clemmons Road. The Mocksville Town Commissioners will be working on zoning ordinance revisions and an update to the 2019 comprehensive plan over the next year and will ask for your input for both plan. Please participate! Your input is valuable so the best decisions can be made for the future development and growth of our town. William J.

Inside a sewer, fats, oils and grease change to a plaster-like consistency and can block the pipes, causing an overflow of untreated wastewater. At home, you can dispose of normal cooking oil and grease by putting it in a container as part of your solid waste rather than through your sink and plumbing drain. Wiping and scraping pots, pans and other utensils before washing them are important steps in proper grease disposal. If your business generates waste grease, fats or oil, you should have a grease interception system that works effectively. A company that recycles fats, oils and grease should regularly clean out the grease trap.

DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, April 4, 2024 - 9 Cheerleading in Davie County is built on home-grown competition and camaraderie. And that includes the Special Olympics Davie County (SODC) cheer teams.Two teams represented Davie County at the 2024 Special Olympics North Carolina Cheerleading Tournament in Pittsboro, on Saturday, March 23: Da-vie Jets and Davie Eagles. The Davie Jets brought home a gold medal, while the Davie Eagles brought home a bronze medal. The Davie Eagles is SODC’s original, tradi-tional cheer team and still consists of four founding members: Brittany Greene, Lauren Kirk, Sara Ijames and Jill St. Claire. Addi-tional team members in-cluded Carrie Cook, Marc Cooper, Maggie Fitzgerald, Ruth Hites, and April Wolf. The Davie Jets are a unified cheer team com-prised of athletes and unified partners. For 2024, this team included athletes Brianna Abshire, Katelyn Anderson, Salem Cor-natzer, Ivy Cowden, Sarah Feldman, Seth Grooms, Abigail Jepsen, and Sarah Riddle. Unified Partners included Chloe Charles, Mariah Crotts, Honor Presley Draughn, Makayla Gillaspie, Gabi Sandoval and Ellie Wilson.Seth Grooms served as Captain of the Jets, while Brittany Green served as Captain of the Eagles. Both teams were led by longtime SODC Cheer Coach Kayla Bowles.This year, the Davie Jets proved that making lasting connections is often more important than bringing home medals. Since the inception of the team more than 10 years ago, Davie High School cheerleaders have served as the unified partners. However, due to being un-able to assist this year, the South Davie Middle School (SDMS) cheer team stood in their place. From the outset, this group of girls had a mission to ensure inclusion both in the com-munity and at school. Led by football Cheer Captain Honor Presley Draughn, the SDMS Tigers recruited SDMS sixth grader Brianna Abshire to be a SODC athlete, helping her realize a childhood dream of being a cheerleader. But, the story did not end there. Draughn and her team-mates advocated that Brianna be able to dress as Brianna Abshire dresses out with the South Davie cheerleading team, while members of the Special Olympics Jets team practices for competition. Cheerleaders bring home Special Olympics medals Members of the Davie Eagles Special Olympics cheerleading team brought home a bronze medal from the state games. a Tiger cheerleader at the last home basketball game, bringing this story full circle with the support of school staff. There are more examples of teens doing great things for others through the com-munity of Special Olym-pics. This year, DHS sopho-more and cross country runner Ethan Lakey is re-turning as a student coach for SODC track and field. Draughn and Crotts, 8th graders, will also be help-ing as coaches along with senior Colby Groce from West Forsyth High School. Along with the hard work of athletes who represent Davie County in eight sports, this too is worth celebrating. Invaluable volunteers form the heart of SODC’s programming.SODC offers a variety of sports and social op- portunities throughout the year to athletes ages 8 and older of all ability levels. There is no age limit. New athletes and their families are encouraged to step into a world of support, friend-ships and growth.

Continued From Page 2There are two other approaches that are somewhat out-side the box for dealing with homeownership affordability. One is simple. For those who work remotely - almost one-third of the workforce - purchase a home outside the big cities and metro areas. Take advantage of the much low-er home prices in rural areas and small towns. While this may mean a different lifestyle, if it becomes popular we could see new developments focusing on attracting remote workers and providing amenities they desire.A second idea is encouraging home developers to build communities on the edge of metropolitan areas where land costs are cheaper, with the developers then working with local governments to provide rapid public transportation from the communities to major destination points in the area. Charlotte and Raleigh are in the early stages of plan-ning a version of this idea using dedicated bus lanes on designated major thoroughfares running from the outskirts of the cities to the city centers.Homeownership has traditionally served two purpos-es for households. The first is to provide shelter, and the second is to create wealth. In recent years both purposes have been impeded by the high cost of purchasing homes. How can we get back to the good old days of the American dream of owning a home? I’ve presented some ideas, but you decide.Mike Walden is a William Neal Reynolds Distin-guished Professor Emeritus at N.C. State University. Home ...

He was an active member of Calahan Friendship Baptist Church, serving in many faithful compacities. Calvin was a well-known and respected singer and mandolin player, having played at many churches, festivals, and bluegrass jams over the years.

Family mealtime is when everyone at home sits down together and enjoys a meal. Eating together helps build close relationships with one another. Food and meals create memories we never forget. Recently I traveled back home to Nashville. I jumped at the invite to go to my first cousin, Bobbi Jeanne’s home for lunch. Our history always included family togetherness on many oc-casions either at our grandparent's home or the home of her parents – Aunt Doodie and Uncle Felix. I in-herited Aunt Doodie’s entire recipe collection from my cousins. I consider myself blessed to have a continued relationship with my extended family and share so many wonderful memories. Family means a lot to me, so I do my best to stay in touch. The time together gave us a chance to catch up on the recent passing of their sister, Bon-nie Sue, the oldest of my cousins. Bobbi Jeanne’s sister, my cous-in, Becky, also came for lunch – and we used the time to reminisce about the many hearty breakfasts, simple lunches, and tasty dinners enjoyed together as a family when growing up. These are memories that have stuck with us throughout our lives– we’ve never forgotten them. For lunch, Bobbi Jeanne served a delicious sampler of old-fashioned Southern favorites – a meat and three in the form of salads. A sweet and savory scoop of Dressed Chicken Salad with apples seasoned with a dressing was served on a red lettuce leaf. With strong flavor combos – the chicken was perfectly matched with Fresh Fruit Salad tossed in freshly squeezed lime and chopped mint, a Bowtie Pasta Salad with juli-enned veggies, and Bobbi Jeanne’s frozen Cherry Dream Salad – one of my all-time Southern favorites! I love this salad whether chilled or frozen. Topping it all off was our grandmother, Mommee’s recipe for those hi-rise, melt in your mouth, Sweet Light Corn Muffins, with a real butter spread. Oh, the things we remember. Of course, a pitcher of old-fashioned, Sweet Tea Punch was always on the dining room table at Square Acres, my Granny’s home. Let’s stay turned in and tuned in – to our families. Reach out to them and stay in touch. Gather at your table. Turn off the TV and phones. It’s never too late to make new memories. God has given us so much – including our folks. Enjoy this lovely scripture from Psalm 104: 14-15, (New Century Version) that reads, You make the grassFor cattle and vegetablesfor the people. You make food grow from the earth.You give us wine that makes happy hearts And olive oil thatmakes our faces shine. You give us bread thatgives us strength.

DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, April 4, 2024 - B1Sports Davie’s golf team is about as quiet as a Mack Truck. After capturing the first two Central Piedmont Conference meets, the War Eagles did not let up one bit at Wilshire on March 25. They extended their lead in the standings to 32 strokes on an “off” day. Davie’s 10-over 154 was actually its second-worst score of the season, but it still easily led the field. East Forsyth shot 162, West Forsyth 163, Reagan 165, Reynolds 168 and Mt. Tabor 184. Evan Owen and Anderson Be-liveau did the heavy lifting with 1-over 37s. It was a season-best showing for Beliveau. Beck Owen and Cooper Drum followed up with 39 and 41, re-spectively. “The course was playing diffi-cult today,” coach Scott Spillman said. “Not our best, but good enough to keep building on our lead.”It’s been a thrashing for Davie through 27 holes. The standings: Davie 445, West Forsyth 477, Reagan 491, Reynolds 503, East Forsyth 507, Mt. Tabor 523. By Brian PittsEnterprise Record The week of March 18 saw another downturn for Davie’s se-nior-less tennis team. Two losses extended Davie’s slump to one win in ive matches. On the bright side, the week began with 10th-year coach Shane Nixon hitting a milestone - win No. 100. He’s far and away the winningest coach in the 51-year history of Davie boys tennis. The leader on the girls’ side is Sandra Boyette, who guided Davie to 94 victories in nine years from 2006-14. Nixon hit triple digits when Davie made quick work of visiting Parkland, 9-0, on March 18. The winners in singles were Zach Hill, Grayson Busse, Hayden Key, Brady Carter, Jackson Hepler and Barrett Taylor. All the scores were 6-0, 6-0 except for one, and that one was 6-1, 6-0. The winning teams in doubles: By Brian PittsEnterprise Record Although the Davie boys la-crosse team limped into spring break saddled with a four-game losing streak, that doesn’t mean there haven’t been highlights. By Brian PittsEnterprise Record The Davie girls lacrosse team endured losing seasons in 2019 and 2021-23 and nothing is com-ing easy in 2024. The War Eagles entered spring break on a five-game losing streak. At this point, it’s all about small victories and success stories within the team, like a senior who has an amazing nickname. Defender Reese Tutterow might appear relentlessly nice, but she can turn salty without a moment’s notice. That’s why Haley Hines, the second-year head coach, calls her Doctor Death. “We call her Doctor Death because she seems so sweet, but sometimes she will rough them up a little bit,” Hines said. “She strikes and she doesn’t usually miss her mark. There’s just some-thing that clicks in her and she’s like: ‘OK, here we go.’ And then it’s a whole different ballgame. Doctor Death Tutterow earns nickname with menancing defense Three years ago, she was on attack and she came up one day and said: ‘Can I play defense?’ We never took her off. That is where she is meant to play and she has just dominated that position. I think she’s definitely my top defender.”Hines has seven seniors, includ-ing Grace Butler, Jenna Scully, Zoey Cleary, Kinnah Chamberlain, Lilli Seats and Danika Williams. Chamberlain is the team’s fore-most scorer, putting up five goals in a loss to Bishop McGuinness on March 25. “On a midfield transition, Kin-nah’s going to be sitting near the top of the restraining line, and it’s very few times that the ball does not go to her and she’s not down the field with it,” Hines said. “Grace and Kinnah work really well together on that, especially in the midfield transition. If Grace is running it upfield, Kinnah is her first look.” Please See Dr. - Page B4 Carter/Max Rappaport, Taylor/Sean Lane and Jonah Almond/Owen Tomlinson. Those scores were 8-1, 8-0 and 8-1, respectively. “We were able to get some guys chances to play who don’t get to play every match, which is good,” Nixon said. “To get to 100 career wins is huge. I’ve had great players, great teams and I am so thrilled to have gotten to do this for this long and have had this kind of success.”N. Iredell 7, Davie 2In a road nonconference match on March 20, North Iredell was simply too much for the War Ea-gles, who were swept in doubles. Due to strong winds, it was a mis-erable day to play tennis. “We’d been trying to schedule North Iredell for a couple years; I knew they were good,” Nixon said. “Conditions were tough for all the players. We played in wind with 28 mph gusts.”In singles, Key (8-5 at No. 3) and Hepler (9-7 at No. 5) kept Davie alive. “I likely haven’t said enough about the year Hayden is having,” Nixon said. “Like his fellow ju-niors at the top, Hayden has been crucial to lead this young team. But his on-court performance has been amazing. He’s a crafty lefty, using all his shots and making points. I am pleased with his play. “Big win for Jackson. He and Barrett have been keys to our success, and both guys are playing well.”Two long winning streaks fell at the hands of the Raiders. Carter suffered his first loss at No. 4 after starting 7-0, and Carter/Rappaport fell at No. 3 doubles after starting 6-0. “Brady likely beats that guy if they play again, but today he had Brady’s number,” Nixon said. “Max and Brady just couldn’t get it going in the wind in doubles.”Reynolds 5, Davie 4Reynolds finally managed to turn the tables on the War Eagles, who took the first matchup 5-4 on Feb. 29 to extend their series winning streak to 12. The Demons got their sweet revenge at Davie (5-4 overall, 4-3 CPC) on March 21. “We knew Reynolds was com-ing across the river angry after we beat them over there,” Nixon said. The teams split in singles. Key (6-0, 6-3), Carter (6-0, 6-2) and Hepler (6-4, 6-2) rolled to wins. Reynolds, however, prevailed at one, two and six to make it 3-3 going into doubles. “Hayden’s stellar play contin-ues,” Nixon said. “He seems to thrive on being underestimated athletically. He is faster than you think, hits it harder than you think, and being left handed, it just sur-prises people. “Brady bounced back well, as did he and Max in doubles. Glad to see the freshmen handle their first loss with a bounce-back win.“Jackson has hit another gear. He’s playing really well, having a good year.”Carter/Rappaport accounted for Davie’s fourth win at No. 3 doubles. They pulled out a white-knuckler, 9-8. Their records may not show it, but Hill and Busse are playing inspired tennis at the top of the lineup. “I can’t say enough how hard Zach and Grayson are playing at the top,” Nixon said. “Both guys are giving max effort. Zach is playing his best tennis and to go out and lose when that is the case, match after match, is tough. But by going right back out there, he is showing his character. Grayson has had a back injury and has played through it and toughed it out.”Nixon also has zero complaints about his No. 6 guy, Taylor. “Barrett continues to be so steady and such a great kid,” he said. “Even when things don’t go his way, he is the first to help a teammate or coach with anything.” Tennis coach Nixon notches 100th win Golfers extend CPC lead Coach loves boys lacrosse team After an 0-2 start, coach Ross Neisler’s War Eagles ripped off a three-game winning streak (19-3 over Mt. Tabor, 17-4 over West Forsyth, 17-4 over South Iredell). They picked off their third straight Central Piedmont Conference rival when they whipped Glenn 15-8. Then came a rough patch as Davie lost 19-15 at East Forsyth on March 26 and 23-12 at home to Reagan on March 28, the last game before spring break. Davie entered an 11-day break at 4-7 overall and 3-5 in the CPC. “We had a great winning streak, one of the longest winning streaks we’ve had in Davie County, and we’ve played competitively against historically dominant teams in our conference,” the sec-ond-year head coach said. “We’ve Please See Team - Page B5 Reese Tutterow (left) and Jenna Scully play defender and midfielder, respectively.

The Wildcats soared to 6-1 by whipping Moores-ville and Selma Burke last week. Taylor Shenberger and Noah Potts had two hits each and Jack Greer doubled and drove in three as North rolled 8-3 over vis-iting Mooresville on March 25. Coach Trevor Gooch’s defensive player of the game was catcher Jason Riddle. Three days later, the Wildcats got two more hits from Shenberger (2-4, 3 runs, 2 RBIs) and mashed Selma Burke 15-1. That means North has outscored opponents 71-23. North boasts seven .300 hitters, led by Potts’ .500 average (6 for 12). The oth-ers are Greer (.471, 8-17), Easton Stanley (.462, 6-13), Sawyer Hall (.444, 4-9), Shenberger (.389, 7-18), Riddle (.312, 5-16) and Wade Ridenhour (.300, 6-20). The leaders in doubles are Potts, Greer, Hall and Shenberger with two apiece. Greer leads in triples with two. The top RBI guys are Shenberger (nine), Greer (nine), Potts (six) and Stan-ley (six).

The top spots in walks belong to Potts (six), Greer (five) and Preston Young (five). Stanley is the stolen base leader with six. North has been equally impressive on the mound. Potts (1-0 record, 2.17 ERA) has racked up 22 strikeouts in 9.2 innings and only allowed two hits. Aydan Shay’s ERA is a minus-cule 0.72; he’s 2-0, only allowing three hits in 9.2 innings. Nolan Allen (1-0, 3.93 ERA) and Shenberger (1-0, 1.61 ERA) have also been effective on the hill while throwing 5.1 and 4.1 innings, respectively. •••Outside of a 6-5 loss to North in its second game of the year, Ellis has shown a thunderous form as well. The Jaguars’ four wins: 16-2 over Mooresville, 15-0 over West Rowan, 16-1 over Selma Burke and 20-1 over South Davie. They’ve outscored oppo-nents 72-10 because Bran-don Forest (.647, 11-17), Jackson Nance (.600, 6-10), Wade Hefner (.500, 7-14), Cayden Thalasinos (.467, 7-15) and Bowman Blakely (.455, 5-11) have been on fire at the plate. Here are the leaders in each category: doubles - Hefner 3, Blakely 3, Nance 2; home runs - Forest 2, Blakely 1; RBIs - Forest 14, Nance 12, Thalasinos 6; runs - Forest 13, Blakely 12, Nance 6; walks - Blakely 7, Nance 4; and steals - For-est 6. Like North’s Potts, Forest is a two-way star. Through his first nine innings on the mound, he gave up zero runs on three hits and rolled up 20 strikeouts. Levi Block and Mason Driver have been reliable, each holding a 2.21 ERA through 6.1 innings. Ellis VolleyballEllis’ varsity volleyball team won comfortably over Selma Burke to even its re-cord at 2-2. The scores were 25-12, 25-16. Riley Barnes and Sydney Ward earned praise from coach Susan Jones. “High point was Riley serving 14 consecutive points and had a kill that was like a bullet to the floor,” Jones said. “Sydney, our newbie, had a coming-out party where she served for the first game and played front row an entire set. She served nine times, with seven being aces, and had two kills. “The girls played well. Communication on defense and mental toughness is what we will be focusing on. We get comfortable too easy and then have to fight to get out of a deficit way too often. I see a lot of good things; we just need to max-imize and make sure we are doing all the little things.”The Ellis JV, however, lost to Burke in a three-set battle. That dropped its re-cord to 2-2. Addison Cline and Eden Winters played well in 16-25, 25-22, 16-25 defeat. “Selma Burke was really well coached and scrappy, allowing little to hit the floor and playing three touches on most every ball,” Jones said. “Addison did a really good job serving and playing the net, and Eden has really tak-en the challenge to become a tough back row player. I am proud of the progress both girls have made. The whole team is still learning and is getting better.” • • • Sports Briefs • • • ourdavie.com Davie’s girls basketball program has got a pipe- line to Brevard College.

Limit 4 B4 - DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, April 4, 2024 All the seniors are key contributors. “The last three years Grace was always on at-tack, but we have moved her to midfield and she has proven to be a huge asset for our team,” Hines said. “Last year she was one of our scorers and she made all-conference. She’s our all-over-the-field type this year. She has really come out strong and been an asset in another way this year. “Jenna is an all-star (as a midfielder). She played for Fusion before she started playing for our high school. She’s one of my main mid-dies and she’s one of my go-to girls. I’m going to miss her next year because if it’s going to be a caused turnover or if she’s coming off of the draw, that’s the person that I’m looking to. “Zoey is one of my main draw control girls, one of my centers. She’s a big asset on an attack. She had a goal (vs. Bishop) and she had draw controls. She’s just a fighter. If you make her mad, she’ll do anything that you want her to. “Lilli has stepped up a lot this year. She has been on attack for the past three years, and she volunteered to play midfield and she’s become a big asset. She had a draw controls (against Bishop). She’s really good on the circle. Sometimes she takes the draw, but we look to her to get off the line and she’s got speed. I mean, that girl can run. For someone who has primarily played attack during her high school career, and then turn around and play both sides of the field is impressive.”Williams is attempting to run the table in all-confer-ence honors, having earned spots on the postseason team the past three years. “Danika’s awesome,” Hines said. “She really is the backbone of the defense. You can hear her from the sidelines, instructing them, Dr. ... encouraging them and tell-ing them where they need to go. It’s really important to have a goalie who will communicate with your defense because it’s hard when you’re the only one and a girl is right on top of you trying to stuff the ball into your net. Danika really knows how to compose her-self. She knows what she’s doing and she does a great job at it.”Three freshmen - Betha-ny Jacobs, Morgan Richard-son and Kayden Richardson - are talented enough to be starters in Year One. “They definitely proved themselves to be assets on the team,” Hines said. “We usually have Bethany on de-fense. That wasn’t a position she always played, and the same with Morgan. They are both hard-core. Bethany had so many ground balls (vs. Bishop) and good midfield transitions.” Heading into spring break, an avalanche of Reynolds/Bishop/East For-syth/Reagan crashed hard on the War Eagles. When play resumes April 8, they will carry a 3-8 record to Southwest Guilford. Hines knows it will take time to reverse Davie’s fortunes. “Most of the girls who came out are first-time play-ers,” she said. “(A 17-7 loss to Bishop) was one of our best games, even though the score did not show it. “It is a learning curve. We have the skills, we have the lax IQ, all the things we need to be successful. It’s just a mental block that creeps in on them and I try to pull them out of that. We have great players.”Hines has 16 players, including juniors Lyndsay Davis and Kimber Holston; sophomores Lila Moore, Zowie Bailey and Emma Boardwine; and freshmen Zoey Campbell and Ava Addis. 6319 Cook Ave, Suite 208 | Clemmons, NC 27012 336-766-6488 cooleyroofing.com Siding Roofing Windows Local, Trusted, Quality Services Under One Roof • Free Estimates • Over 30 Years Experience Houses, Decks, Driveways Gutter Cleaning, Roof Wash (336) 751-2304 MILLEREQUIPMENTRENTAL SPRING IS HERE!

They’ve really showed their character. One reason I love working with Davie kids is they play hard and they don’t quit.”Neisler gushed about his seven seniors: Landon Dingler, Sebastian Bellomo, Isaac Parker, John Holcomb, Bryce Harnsberger, Owen Horne and Connor Hum-phrey. “(Dingler, a starter on defense and a team captain) worked in the offseason, truly motivated guys in the offseason and helped get everything coordinated in the offseason,” Neisler said. “(Bellomo) is a very hard worker. He’s definitely a Swiss army knife. He can play defense, good scor-er, great personality, good attitude, face-offs - he can The ClemmonsCourier Team ... do everything. One of the Reynolds coaches was very impressed by him. He was impressed that he never comes off the field. He’s involved in everything. He gets ground balls, which is crucial for lacrosse. He takes care of the ball and he plays solid defense. Definitely not someone you want to go after as an offensive player. “(Parker’s) a scorer; he seeks the ball. He puts him-self in the right place at the right time. A few lucky bounces here or there and he’s got five or six more goals this year. He’s always getting the ball in the right places to get that shot.“(Holcomb) has made tremendous strides. He’s newer to the game and he’s learning how to be in position. He’s one of the more intelligent players ac-ademically, and now you’re seeing how that academic intelligence is translating to on-the-field intelligence.“(Harnsberger is) one of the best face-off guys in the conference and probably the state. He’s an offensive threat once he gets the ball on the face-off. He’s a big-ger kid but he’s deceptively fast. He’s got deceptive, quick moves to get open and he’s got a hard shot. He plays amazing defense. He’s definitely one of the leaders of the team by scoring and work ethic.“(Horne’s) been working on developing his stick in the three years I’ve worked with him. He’s gotten a lot more accurate with his shot. He’s a big presence, espe-cially on defense. He can run and play with some of the better offensive players. He’s coming into his own and getting goals.“(Humphrey) might be one of our better own goal defenders probably are best on gold defender. He has a lot of fight. He’s kind of like a dog out there. He’s an ag-gressive, fighting dog. He’s out there to majority of the game winning those posses-sions for our offense.”At the heart of Davie’s good moments have been leading scorer Jack Pisciot-ta, attackman Ty Carter and goalies Will Hedrick and Carson Pirk. “(Hedrick, a junior, has) really developed since last summer,” Neisler said. “He’s phenomenally better; you can completely see where he put in the work in the summer to develop his craft. He’s quick to the ball and he’s a vocal leader on the field.“(Hedrick and Pirk, a freshman) go to the same summer program to develop their goalie abilities. They are two of the better goalies in the conference.“Ty leads by effort and energy. He’s not the loudest player on the field, but he shows up every game and hustles. A lot of the offense runs through him.“(Pisciotta) leads by ex-ample with his work ethic and by scoring on the field.”Neisler has 30 guys on the roster. The rest of the team includes juniors Av-ery Tinkham, Caleb Coble, Isaac Sherman and JD Cun- ningham; sophomores Luke Wayne, Owen Blakely, Eli Wooten, Evans Steele and Caswell Moore; and fresh-men Elijah Chaffin, Evan Helms, William Carter, Colt Hankins, Reid Tilley, Barrett Robertson, Tony Velasco, Rylan Berrier, Mack Riden-hour and Jackson Meadwell.
