Tell uswhat you think The Literary Corner Renegade Writer’s Guild Family thankful for community Remembering our best Climb Every MountainBy Julie Terry Cartner“If one is lucky, a solitary fantasy can totally transform one million realities.” Maya AngelouI recently saw a video of a British couple auditioning for Britain’s Got Talent. Both the woman, Denise, and her husband, Stefan, are blind. She is also recovering from breast cancer, chemotherapy, and all that goes along with that insidious disease, and yet, she was personable, out-going, and outrageously funny, and, of course, talented. Denise sang “Climb Every Mountain,” from The Sound of Music, accompanied by Stefan, and hit every note – beautifully, I might add. She and her husband received a standing ovation, rightfully so.And it made me think. These are two people who have struggled their entire lives with the challenges of being sightless in a visual world. This was a woman who had persevered through what many women see as the most ter-rifying diagnosis imaginable, breast cancer. Cancer, itself, is a word that strikes fear in most people, and breast cancer is just so, so personal. And yet, they’d chosen to perform a song that’s all about the positive, about dreaming, about achieving one’s goals, about hope.Now, it is true that anyone with a handicapping con-dition has, from an early age, learned to battle and fight for things that others take for granted. A visually impaired person struggles just to traverse a world that is simple for those of us with 20/20 vision. Navigating cracked side-walks, street crossings, curbs, traffic lights, and crowds of people is beyond challenging. Figuring out how to be in-dependent when you can’t drive is also. We take for grant-ed the number of times we jump in our cars to pick up an item from the grocery store or a prescription from the pharmacy, but a visually impaired person can’t do that. He or she must rely on public transportation, some form of ride share, or the kindness of family and friends. Equally, fighting cancer takes an inner strength beyond our imaginations. To keep battling, to not give up, to push through the invasion of cancer, and doctors, and surgery, and recovery is not for the faint of heart. And to hold on to personal dreams while facing this struggle takes a special person.These are typical of the everyday challenges of their lives. But then, they had the fortitude to take another step, to dream beyond the day-to-day navigations of life. Imag-ine standing on a stage in front of thousands of people that you can’t see. You play the opening chords, or sing the opening notes, and have no idea what reaction you are getting, and yet you power through and hope the invisi-ble people before you like what they’re hearing. This is courage.When asked why they had decided to compete in BGT, Denise answered, “We just want to grab the bull by the horns, you know, and take every opportunity.”I don’t know where their journey will go, or what suc-cesses they’ll achieve. I know they got four Yes votes from the judges, the applause of over four thousand viewers, and over 20 million hits on social media thus far. I also know that they took a chance. They took the first step to follow their dreams.Emerson tells us: “I have learned, that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected…” Victor Hugo states: “There is nothing like a dream to create the future.”And Langston Hughes, one of my personal favorites, says: “Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a bro-ken winged bird that cannot fly.”Thank you, Stefan and Denise, for taking that step, for being the example we sometimes need to follow, for reminding all of us that the reward for following your dreams is far greater than the risk of not succeeding, or even worse, the ultimate failure of never having tried. Climb every mountain,Ford every stream,Follow every rainbow,‘Till you find your dream! Making CopiesBy Marie CraigBetween typing for other people, creating math tests, being a bookkeeper, and printing church bulletins for many years, I have a lot of experience in making copies. I remember having to write the same sentence many times for punishment for grammar school misdeeds. I tried tap-ing 3 pencils together and writing that sentence. It didn’t really work, but maybe that was an early copy machine. In typing my term papers with a manual typewriter and needing an extra copy, the technique was to use car-bon paper between two sheets of paper. You didn’t dare make a mistake because it was so difficult to correct. This was especially hard if you had to include footnotes. Most people don’t know what carbon paper is these days, but it’s interesting that at the bottom of a business letter, even now, cc: means carbon copy when you’ve sent another copy of this letter to a second person. Cc is also used in emails. When I was teaching math in a middle school, the tests were duplicated on a machine which was called Ditto, or Spirit Master. There were two connected pages, one of which was similar to carbon paper. You wrote on the top page, pressing hard, which transferred the mirror image of your writing to the back of the top page. Then you tore the pages apart and put this reverse image side showing on the drum of the machine. Alcohol in the machine made these words and numbers print the positive way on a sheet of pa-per. The machines were hand cranked. It was important to finish these copies ahead of time so that the alcohol could dry. If not, the students held the papers to their faces and swooned over the enticing alcohol smell. These came in several colors: purple was standard, with red, green, and black also. I used to save the colored sheets and then have several different colors on my tests or creations such as Christmas cards.When I was teaching math at a junior college, I created a test for my students and walked over to the next building to use the Spirit Master copier. There in the hall were my co-teacher and his visiting friend who worked for the U.S. Forest Service. We were introduced and ten months later, Bill and I were married. So I have a soft spot in my heart for this type of copy machine.When I had a job as church secretary, I created the church bulletin with a typewriter and a mimeograph ma-chine. To do this, you typed on the typewriter with the rib-bon disabled. This was a two page material you used. The top page was plastic, and when you typed with no ribbon, it actually cut into the plastic. If you made a mistake, you had a bottle of something like clear fingernail polish to fill up the holes. You had to wait for it to dry and then type the correct words. So again, you tried very hard not to make mistakes. The top page was used on the drum with the positive side down. Then you turned the crank and ink went through the holes onto a piece of paper. About five years on Jeopardy, they asked a question and in giving the correct answer, they made a mistake be-cause they didn’t understand the two previous processes.One summer between college years, I had a job in the office of Blue Ridge YMCA Assembly near my home in Black Mountain. I used the mimeograph machine a lot. It used tubes of ink, available in different colors. I had a rush job one day and realized somebody had bought the wrong kind of ink. It was in a small can and to push the ink out, you pressed the bottom of the can. I attempted to make this work, but didn’t press in the exact center. Dark blue ink went on me and the wall. It didn’t wash out of my clothes, and they had to paint the wall. Later that summer a sales rep brought an early version of an actual copy machine. A man who was visiting there had a very special news article that he’d saved for a long time. They attempted to make a copy of it. There was a slot for the original and the copy and the original came out the back. Only this time, the copy came out but no newspaper arti-cle. We finally took the machine apart, and there was the undamaged article wound around a cylinder in the center of the copier. The man nearly had a heart attack until he regained his treasure. Nowadays, we think nothing of using a complicated copy machine or even our own computer printer to make us a copy, but it wasn’t always this easy. Home (continued)By Gaye HootsWhen Roy and I separated, the girls and I lived briefly in a small, rented house owned by Albert Poole. The next move was to a house on Markland Rd. where Kendra took in a few stray dogs. I was a teacher's aide and bus driver and then completed an RN program at Forsyth Tech. When I graduated, I remarried, and we moved to Woodlee on 801 with a combined total of five kids. This was a good neigh-borhood with friendly neighbors that the kids enjoyed.During the five years we lived here I completed a BS in nursing at Winston-Salem State and began a master’s program at UNC Greensboro. After five years Kendra and I moved to an apartment in Clemmons where Joyce Del-linger lived. Later I bought the acreage at the end of Odell Myers Rd. and stayed in a small log cabin there. Both girls had married and started a family. When Kendra divorced, she and Vann lived with me there. By then I had added ad-ditional space to the cabin, and later Cami and her children moved into a mobile home on the property. I enjoyed hav-ing the grandchildren close because I was working full-time in psychiatry and attending school so this way I got to see them daily.Kendra remarked that I was like Papa Cartwright from Bonanza, living in a log cabin, having all the kids with me, and “cracking the whip.” They grew up and out quickly. Kendra completed a BS degree in nursing and bought her own home. Cami remarried and purchased a home.I sold the home and bought a condo in Winston. I en-joyed remodeling the cabin, updating the condo, and fur-nishing it. Joyce Dellinger did much of the work, painting and adding new flooring. Before I moved from the cabin, I had bought a small one-room efficiency condo on the ocean at Atlantic Beach and done small upgrades. The kids and grandkids enjoyed it and so did I. I put it on the rental market to help pay for it.Before I sold the Winston condo, I had sold the effi-ciency and bought a larger condo near Fort Macon. It was also on the rental market and used by all my family. Even-tually, I sold it and bought a new condo on the ocean at Indian Beach where I retired when I sold the Winston con-do. After a few years there I added hardwood floors and a few other upgrades. When I got it exactly like I wanted it Faye’s health was declining and neither daughter was living in Advance. I was also concerned about my young-est granddaughter’s health. Increasing costs of HOA and insurance issues were also a factor. I put the condo on the market and moved back to Advance.The Zondorys, who owned the home next to the house Mom left me, were going to build and put their house on the market. I bought it and had the yard regraded, updated the septic, and turned the office above the detached garage into an apartment where my grandson lived. Tiffany and Jaden were in the house beside me, and Kendra later re-turned to Advance to live. I upgraded the kitchen and bath redecorated it, rebuilt the porch, and put new roofs on both houses thanks to the Carter twins.The sea was still calling me and when I began vacation-ing with Cami in Oriental, I began looking at properties. Luck was with me, and I bought it just before the market surged. I completed the work at the Hartman house, which had previously belonged to the Janine Vogler family, and I had first visited there when we were in the first grade. I also began upgrades to the condo before I moved and com-pleted the condo and sold the Hartman house.I have been here three years now and other than missing the family in Advance I am very happy here, so content that I don’t get off the couch often enough. I am content with the view and a good book. I have family moving here and have stopped looking at other properties. I think this is my last rodeo. To the editor:On April 15 we lost our home to a house fire. We were very fortunate that no one was hurt. Even though we lost our home, we were blessed by an amazingly caring com-munity.We would like to thank each and every person, church, and local business. We would also like to thank the staff and parents of Davie County Schools. Your kindness is appreciated so much more than words can express.A big thank you to the fire departments, and the won-derful firefighters who worked tirelessly to put out the fire.

Slabach in Phi Kappa Phi BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT Mocksville Auto Pride Car WashTouch Free and Soft Cloth — Same Great Results Often asked why they have both Touch Free and Soft Cloth Washes, the Owners say it’s because of the old frame of mind different people have. Some believe if it doesn’t touch your vehicle it can’t get it clean and others believe if it does touch your vehicle it will scratch your paint. With the newest technolo-gies in the car wash industry both points of view are faulty. So they offer their customers a choice between the two and are the only wash in the area with Touch Free Washes. However they do caution that all Soft Cloth Wash-es are not the same. Factors such as the material that the brushes are made from can cause them to hold dirt, some brushes are not rinsed throughout the en-tire wash process and after each wash, and depend-ing on the pass pattern and width of the brushes ve-hicle parts can be damaged and can cause scratches to your paint and wheels. Pollen isn’t just unsightly but can also cause dam-age to your vehicle. It happens every Spring. Pollen may seem like a harmless yellow powder, but each particle has small thorns to help it attach to plants. Though these microscopic thorns may sound bad, the acidity of the pollen is what really damages your ve-hicle’s paint and will actually lead to premature fading and even rust. What’s worse is that different plants can produce pollen at different times of the year, though we only associate it when it pops up in the Spring. Grass, weed, and ragweed pollen can start in the Spring and last well into the late summer months and early fall. Pollen’s acidity is activated with water so rain or simply hosing your vehicle off won’t get rid of the pollen and will actually initiate the damage. Don’t be fooled just because it appears clean. There are still pollen particles that are eating away at your paint. The solution is to wash your car more often during these seasons. The longer you leave pollen on your vehicle, the more damage it can do and the harder it will be to get completely off. Also add extra layers of protection including wax, protectant, and sealant. Not only does it keep pollen’s damage at bay but also the damage to your paint from tree sap, bird droppings, UV rays, and everyday driving grime. The facility is environmentally friendly. Car washes use 55% less water than washing at home. It is a time-saver too taking only 6 minutes versus an hour in your driveway. Don’t forget the interior. They are told they have the best vacuums in town with 3 motors in each vacuum. Vacuums are $2.00 for 15 minutes while others charge $1.25 for only 5 minutes. They also have wide and crevice vacuum tools. Other interior services include: carpet and upholstery shampoo, floor mat cleaner, & car care vending products. Father and daughter owners Lorin and Mary Wood have owned and operated the car wash for 25 years now and you can’t be in this business that long with-out doing the job right. They are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The facility is always clean and neat and is safe includ-ing 16 video cameras and lighting for customers who need to come by after dark. The car washes include the best quality soaps and waxes and spot free purified water rinses. Choose from either Touch Free or Soft Cloth Washes and there are $10, $13, and $15 washes to suit any bud-get. Cash, Credit and Debit are accepted.

They just completed our Comprehensive Plan. They are the organization that we typically turn to for very specific planning-related items.”Brannon said that Benchmark is also widely employed across N.C and beyond.“So not only do we leverage them for multi-ple different services, but they come to the table with a breadth of knowledge around other municipalities with information that we simply wouldn’t have.”The council also ap-proved resolutions of ap-proval for sewer and storm-water engineering services with Hazen & Sawyer, a transportation and storm-water engineering agree-ment with Wetherill Engineering Inc., and stormwater engineering services with LJB Inc.“These are all resolu-tions of approval for on-call engineering services,” Meadwell said. “As many of you know, our current engineer, John Gray, is slowly trying to retire. He continues to answer the call, but I do know that John is stepping aside. So instead of us going with a full-service type engineer-ing firm that covers all these bases, it’s really pru-dent for us to have flexibil-ity and deciding who that engineer will be to cover certain aspects.”Regarding the budget, Meadwell said that staff is “feverishly working” and the process is time-con-suming. “Our intent is to have this budget presentation to the council at the agenda meeting (on May 28) with the intent to have a public hearing on June 11 at the next council meeting,” he said.Prior to the business portion of the meeting, Sheriff JD Hartman provid-ed an update on the Davie County Sheriff’s Office, in-cluding lots of facts, figures and tidbits:• The Sheriff’s Office has 122 full-time employ-ees and 23 part-time em-ployees.• The Sheriff’s Office operates as three units – Enforcement Services (by far the largest), Detention Services and Animal Ser-vices.• Hartman said that in Bermuda Run during the first quarter (January through March), there were 547 CAD (Computer Aided Dispatch) activities that the Sheriff’s Office responded to, and the actual number of crime reports was only 51. “That’s not a bad average,” Hartman said. “That’s a ac-tually a pretty safe commu-nity.”• In the first quarter in Bermuda Run, there were 20 drug crimes (Hartman said that was higher than usual because there was a targeted effort during that period) and 10 fraud viola-tions.• Fun fact: Hartman said that although everyone thinks Friday and Saturday nights are the busiest times, they’re not. The busiest times, he said, are Tuesday through Thursday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. countywide.In other highlights from last Tuesday night’s meet-ing, the council:• Heard from Meadwell regarding his disappoint-ment of receiving “a lack of bids” on The Flags at Blue Heron Trail project (no bids) and street paving (one bid). “So both of those will go out for a rebid,” he said. “Especially with the paving project, that just re-ally puts us further behind in the paving season.”• Heard from Brannon on the progress status of the Comprehensive Plan, stat-ing that 35 out of 40 action items have noted progress and adding that the town will provide another update at this time this year. • Heard from Brannon in his mayor comments, saying that May has been a success so far with events including the NCAA Wom-en’s Regional Golf Tour-nament at Bermuda Run Country Club and the car show. Town ... Continued From Page 1 opinion, and I really took it into consideration. She just said for me to do what I can do, to do what makes me happy. I’m on it, and I re-ally appreciate her advice.”The two - along with about 60 other students and their pen pals - met for the first time last week at a re-ception at senior services.“He was kind of shy, without much self confi-dence,” Keen said. “I know that kids need guidance. They need to know that someone cares. I’m really proud of him.”It’s the type of story that makes Snider, the teacher, proud. Last year, her stu-dents answered letters to Santa from children.She got the idea from a video during her training to be a teacher.“I felt like this was a good opportunity to con-nect generations,” she said. “There’s been a lot of good to come from this. Any time we can encourage dif- ferent generations to com-municate with one another, the more humanity we will find. It has overwhelmingly been a joyous experience.”Carrie Miller was the coordinator of the program at senior services, and was also pleased with the re-sults. Tania Arellano came with a robot she had built. Her pen pal, Anne Gould, was proud that a female was going to study mechan-ical engineering in college, prepping for a possible mil-itary career.“I was so interested in her project,” Gould said. “It’s rare for a woman to go into engineering ... and to build their own robot.”“I got the opportunity to see people continue to be invested in educating themselves, and share their stories, and give us comfort that everything is fine and we shouldn’t be afraid of aging,” Arellano said.A former teacher, Gould was impressed. “You’re a good writer,” she told Arel- lano. It also helps people who are aging to communi-cate with younger genera-tions, she said. “It’s import-ant to stay young at heart.”Jackie Peters and stu-dent Lathell Hawks had plenty to talk about, espe-cially since Peters had 8 brothers and sisters while Hawks had 6.“We talked (wrote) about everything, sports, our siblings,” she said. “I came from New Hampshire so I talked about that.”David Orren had two student pen pals at the re-ception - Jalenna Ford and Ehtan Chandler - and brought each a wooden piece of art he had made.“To have him as my first pen pal was a lot of fun,” Ford said. “We wrote about our family members, and the things we like.”The teacher hopes that love of writing letters to others - especially those from a different lifestyle - will continue as the stu-dents enter their next chap-ter in life. Pals ... Rita Keen brings a graduation gift for pen pal Zack Banks. Jackie Peters and Lathell Hawks meet for the first time. Ethan Chandler and Jalenna Ford meet their pen pal, David Orren. They brought a game to play; and he brought them homemade wooden cre- ations.

Getting their hands wet while scrubbing kitchen hand towels, rinsing and learning how to wring out the water seemed to be a lot of work but they had fun. Each student had a washboard to scrub the towels and Lynn Vogler reminded them to use the soap. Tammy Lagle holds a small cloth on the clothesline then walks down to the end and back to remove any dirt. “You don’t want this dirt to get on your clean clothes,” she told students, as she showed them the discol-ored cloth. After choosing wooden clothes pins or the ones used today that have metal and wood, they learned to dog ear the ends and secure clothes on the line.John Chandler and Johnathon Vizard taught the students how to hold a hoe, how to make rows in the dirt, plant seeds, and how to tamp down the dirt. Canning vegetables raised in the garden were essential for each house-hold. Preserving some vegetables like green beans strung on a string, called “leather britches”, made it easy to dehydrate them. Collecting eggs and putting them in a basket was shared by all. Chick-ens can be skittish which makes them cluck and move around quick. Some children were non-trusting to be that close to collect the eggs but a gentle hand from Cathy Marshbanks helped them to complete the task. Not too many grown ups can say they have made “slop” for a pig but the first graders can now say they have. Combin-ing all leftovers from the dinner table became food for the pigs. Having a chance to pet the pig was a brave moment for some but was exciting to most. Jeff Ferrell displayed on a table a side of pork, ba-con and sausage. Learning they can’t get hamburger from a pig were fun facts for students to talk about. Visiting Madison the cow was an added bonus. Madison was gentle so that each student got to stroke her soft fur on her nose and the students learned why her eyes are on the sides of her head.Making butter out of whole milk sounds simple because it is. Students have the knowledge to go home, pour whole milk in a jar with a lid and start shaking to make their own. Tasting the homemade but- ter on a cracker put smiles on everyone’s face. Susan Wall and Teresa Bivins assisted with churn-ing the butter.Before retuning to their class, each student re-ceived a coloring book that reiterated all the things they learned that morning. The Cooleemee Histor-ical Association has more events planned through the school year for all students. Thank you CHA for providing students hands on experiences that give them a full picture and understanding about their heritage.

It also helps promote salivary flow, your body’s natural defense against cavities.” DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, May 23, 2024 - 7 By Kat Woodruff-CarterThe Weekly Talon On a gloomy May morn-ing, Davie High students shuffle by grade level to the football stadium with no clue what they are walking into. As they make their way to the stands, they soon see ambulances, police cars, and a wrecked car on the track. Farther away from the wreckage and the emer-gency personnel walking through the scene, a hearse sits only a few yards away. As they sit, the students notice it has started driz-zling. As confusion sets in, the sound of a phone dialing projects through the stadi-um’s sound system. Suddenly, junior Avery Carter appears and is on the phone with the police saying a car crash has hap-pened. As she continues her panicked call, senior Ian Koontz slowly slides out of the wreckage. Students hear the radio saying someone was ejected from the car. Members of the rescue team arrive and start to cut the car apart. While Koontz is sub-jected to a field sobriety test, the desperate cries of a distraught mother echo through the stadium as she arrives on the scene to find her daughter dead. Unsurprisingly, it is clear from the outset that this scene playing out in front of the Davie High student body is just that: a scene. Unfortunately, its plot beats are ones first responders know all too well—one that often plays out on prom nights across America. This presentation is the core of Prom Promise, which is named for the promise not to drink and drive on prom night.This presentation was set up by Magistrate Kev-in D. Hendrix Sam Fry. While Magistrate Hendrix is known for setting bail, court dates, issuing war-rants, and small claim civil court cases, he’s seen more than he would like to admit about bad accidents involv-ing drunk drivers. “We promise you the stuff we deal with for the rest of our lives, we don’t wish on anybody,” said Hendrix. Sam Fry came to Hen-drix with the idea and con-tacted assistant principal Cheryl Reeves. They spoke highly of how little admin-istrators said no. “Every-one was willing to help the kids,” said Sam Fry. Hendrix pushed, direct-ed, and produced the event. He wanted to stress how the event is similar to an actu-al drunk driving accident, specifically the way Koontz was examined by EMS for medical issues first and then sent to law enforcement to be tested for sobriety. While being looked at by law en-forcement, he was even questioned about drug use. Hendrix spoke about how marijuana can be a reason to 132 Interstate Drive Mocksville, NC 27028 (336) 753-8473 Hours: Mon. - Fri. 7:30 - 5:30 MockBerothTire.com 11 LOCATIONS TO SERVE YOU!

They cut off the top to save se-nior Ty Miller. If the weath-er had cooperated, Miller would have been placed in an AirCare helicopter and gone for a life-saving ride. However, AirCare needs at least 1,000-foot-high clouds to fly. The demolition of the car, however, played out exactly as the process goes. The quickest time the rescue team took apart a wrecked car while in the field was eight minutes. During this demonstration, they took it apart in about 10. Ian Kootz did not know who he was playing until the day of the performance, but he hopes students under-stand how deadly it can be to drink and drive. Senior Lauren O’Con-nor played the role of the student ejected from the car and was declared de-ceased on the scene. Kel-ly Funderburk played her mother, who came onto the track screaming and crying asking where her baby was. Funderburk is friends with O’Connor’s mother. “Having someone I knew act as my mother made it feel that much more real,” O’Connor said. Funderburk was described as actually distraught and had real tears. O’Connor got involved af-ter Sgt. Justin Stutts, DCHS School Resource Officer, asked her a few weeks ago about participating. In re-flecting on the demonstra-tion, she notes “I hope that students realize how serious drunk driving is and see the impact that it can have. It is the harsh reality.”Hendrix says that this presentation is “DWI, or impaired driving, preven-tion for the younger and more inexperienced drivers who want to do what adults do and aren't mentally or physically prepared for.” Ultimately, Hendrix hopes students understand the consequences of their poor decisions. “I hope they know that when we arrive on the scene, we will do everything we can to make a good outcome for them. In the end, I hope they know the best decision was not to do that in the first place.” Sam Fry said: “Most of the time if you're intoxicat-ed and under the influence, you survive, and the people you’re with die.” When it comes to fight-ing drunk driving, Hendrix notes that high school stu-dents need to have honest conversations about this is-sue. Parents also need to be willing to have these con-versations with their chil-dren. Hendrix suggested that teens educate themselves on the statistics of these deadly crimes. As the National Highway Traffic Safety Administra-tion notes, last year, there were 300 deaths in drug and alcohol-related car crashes during prom season; 90% of teens expect their friends to use drugs or drink and drive on prom night; and teens felt pressured to do drugs or drink and drive during prom. “The biggest thing for someone in high school is that the imperative driving thing will follow you for-ever. If someone is serious-ly hurt, then you will go to prison for it.” Hendrix says. “From a first responder standpoint, the most frus-trating thing is learning that the person is drunk and knowing from that point that it was preventable.” As the seminar ended amidst a continuing driz-zle, Hendrix leaves students with the quote, “Prom night is full of memories. What you don’t want to remem-ber is the night you killed a friend because you were driving impaired on drugs and alcohol.” Hendrix wants to thank the Davie Rescue and Da-vie County Fire Marshall (Cameron Webb) and the Farmington Fire and Chief Todd Naylor, especially. Additional thanks go to NCSHP JD Kitchens, Da- vie EMS and their direc-tor, Joseph Ashburn, Davie County Sheriff JD Hartman, Kelly Funderburk, Benita Finney, and Attorney Rob Raisbeck.Kat Woodruff-Carter is a staff member at The Weekly Talon, Davie High School’s online newspaper, and a former intern at the Enterprise Record. 8 - DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, May 23, 2024 Ashley Furniture Indus-tries (Ashley) partnered with Davie County Schools in support of the annual Arts Smart Festival May 11 at Davie High School.

Howell ‘Hal’ Swanson DavisWe announce the passing of our dearly loved father Howell (Hal) Swanson Davis, age 91. Hal departed this world peacefully on May 13, 2024, surrounded by loved ones.Hal was born on May 26, 1932 to Jesse and Ethel Davis. His early years were shared with siblings, Jesse (deceased), Blann (deceased), Cleve (deceased) and Ray. Hal had a deep appreciation for his family, friends, Church, and community. He always had a special way of drawing people in and making them laugh and feel comfortable. One of his mottos was “if someone needs a smile, give them yours”.Hal graduated from Mineral Springs High School, in Win-ston-Salem, NC in 1950.He was a proud Navy veteran who served his country during the Korean War. His love of country and respect for others who served knew no boundaries.Hal was married to his beloved wife Betty Lou Till-man Davis on March 7, 1953, until her death in September 2013. Together they built a life filled with love, laughter, and the joys of raising their 3 children: Karla (Mary-El-len), Brian, Mark (Deena). Hal was so proud of his 2 grandchildren, Elsa and Austin. He was a devoted husband and father and was known for his presence at his children’s sporting events, often as a team coach, and their theater productions. His creative way of writing poetry, singing silly songs, and language known as “Hal-isms”, were the stuff of family legend. As a young child he was fascinated with airplanes and in 1957, thanks to the G.I. Bill, he was able to fulfill that dream and take to the skies. He attended Piedmont Air-lines Flight School and achieved a Commercial Pilots Cer-tificate. He had a First Lieutenant Rating as an active mis-sion pilot for the Colorado Wing of the Civil Air Patrol.His passion for detailing cars was more than a hobby or side job, it was an artform, with countless hours spent helping friends get top dollar for their used cars or helping his sons earn some college money.He worked for AT&T for 34 years before he retired in 1985. On the day he retired he was told that there may be an adjustment period to go from working fulltime to being retired. He always said that period for him lasted “from the front door of the office to the door of his car.”The family would like to say a special thank you to Hal’s girlfriend, Christine Miller. During the past 9 years they have enjoyed sharing music, coffee with friends at the “table of knowledge”, meals, Church, and companionship.A service to celebrate Hal’s life will be held on Satur-day, June 1, 2024, at 2 p.m. at Hayworth-Miller Kinderton Chapel in Advance.In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations be made to Trellis Supportive Care.

Backyard bar- becue season begins in spring and continues through sum- mer and, where the weather allows, into fall. Barbecues are a perfect summertime soiree, as they’re usually laid back affairs and make use of the pleasant weather. While it’s fun to expand your culinary horizons over the open flame of a grill, it’s important that you never for- get the basics, especially when entertaining crowds who are no doubt looking forward to grilled burgers. Giving the masses what they want is good hosting, but you can still try your hand at a little ex- perimentation when serving burgers at your next backyard barbecue. The following rec- ipe for “Herb Cheese-Stuffed Garlic Burgers” from Andrew Schloss’ and David Joachim’s “Mastering the Grill” (Chroni- cle Books) provides the best of both worlds. Herb Cheese-Stuffed Garlic Burgers Makes 6 servings • 2 pounds ground beef chuck, 85 percent lean • 2 tablespoons chopped garlic • 1⁄2 teaspoon kosher salt • 1⁄4 teaspoon ground black pepper • 3 tablespoons herbed garlic cream cheese, such as Boursin • 6 hamburger buns, split • Oil for coating grill grate The grill • Gas: Direct heat, medium- high 425 to 450 degrees; clean, oiled grate • Charcoal: Direct heat, light ash; 12-by-12-inch char- coal bed (about 3 dozen coals); clean, oiled grate on lowest setting • Wood: Direct heat, light ash; 12-by-12-inch bed, 3 to 4 inches deep; clean, oiled grate set 2 inches above the fire 1. Heat the grill as directed. 2. Using your hands, mix the beef, garlic, salt, and pep- per in a bowl until well blend- ed; do not overmix. Using a light touch, form into 12 patties no more than 1⁄2-inch thick. 3. Put a portion (about 11⁄2 teaspoons) of cream cheese in the center of each of the 6 patties; top with the remaining patties and press together, tak- ing care to seal the edges well. Refrigerate the burgers until the grill is ready. 4. Brush the grill grate and coat it with oil. Put the burg- ers on the grill, cover and cook for 9 minutes, flipping after 5 minutes, for medium-done (150 F, slightly pink). Add a minute per side for well-done (160 F). 5. To toast the buns, put them cut-sides down directly over the fire for the last minute of cooking. 6. If serving the burgers directly from the grill, serve on the buns. If the burgers will sit, even for a few minutes, keep the buns and burgers separate until just before eating. Metro Creative Connection A few generations ago, dining out was an ex- perience reserved for special occasions. However, until recently, when restau- rants were shuttered due to the pandemic, many people were dining out multiple times a week. Hospitality solutions pro- vider Fourth surveyed 1,000 American adults in 2019 and 56 percent reported dining out at least two to three times per week. Ten percent said they ate out four to six times each week, while 6 percent said they dined out everyday. People accustomed to rely- ing on restaurant for meals multiple times per week may be unaccustomed to cooking many meals at home. Learn- ing how to shop for food and prepare items by maximiz- ing available ingredients can reduce trips to the store and help people reduce food waste. 1. Plan meals/browse circulars Meal planning and shop- ping lists are vital tools for people preparing meals at home. Without doing so, indi- viduals can be left floundering in the supermarket, spending more money than necessary and making impulse pur- chases (all the while forget- ting items they truly need). Use sales circulars to browse weekly discounted items at stores. Build a week’s worth of meals off of these sale items — going so far as to write out a cursory menu — then fill in any extra ingredients or staples needed on a shopping list. Leave a day or two for leftovers. Try organizing the list to follow the natural lay- out where items are arranged in the store. 2. Shop smart With paper and pen in hand or a digital list compiled on your phone, go aisle by aisle and check off items as they are added to the cart. If you are shopping for food you hope will last a week or more, consider substituting canned and frozen foods and other nonperishables for fresh items because they can be stored for longer periods of time. “Club size” or “family size” packages of foods may cost less per vol- ume and can be sub-divided and stored for later use. 3. Minimize waste Cook only as much as is needed for the household. Generally speaking, a meat or poultry serving of three to four ounces per person is adequate. That means a roast or steak of 11⁄2 to two pounds is fine for a family of four. Use up older frozen or perishable foods first. Store foods prop - erly and use them before the use-by date. Wrap up leftovers and turn them into new meals. With proper planning and smart thinking, homecooking can be more efficient and less wasteful. Metro Creative Connection S ome people visit super- markets and other food stores every day, espe- cially if they don’t meal plan or shop for the week. Accord- ing to the Time Use Institute, the average shopping trip takes 41 minutes and people go food shopping an average of 1.5 times per week. Being more mindful of food waste and putting leftovers and ingredients to use in new ways can help stretch food further and reduce the need to make frequent trips to the grocery store. Consider these ideas to make use of leftovers. • Save those vegetables. It’s easy to scrape a half-portion of uneaten vegetables into the trash thinking it can’t be used. Instead, combine it with other vegetables accumulated throughout the week. Many play well together and can be mixed into casseroles, omelets, soups and stir-fry recipes. • Create new meals. Us- ing leftovers does not mean eating the same exact meal a second time. Ingredients can be utilized in new ways. For example, a roast chicken can be broken down and the meat can be used for fajitas on an- other night. Leftover tomato sauce and meatballs from a Sunday dinner can be turned into an impromptu chili with the addition of beans and pep- pers. • Think beyond dinner. Leftovers can be collected at any time of day and used later on. Cold cuts can be chopped and used to make a stromboli with some refrigerated pizza dough. Save Belgian waffles from breakfast and top with breaded chicken fingers for a delicious chicken-and-waffles meal for lunch or dinner. Leftover roasted potatoes and scraps of ham can be used in a breakfast hash. • Stuck on starches. Turn extra rice from dinner into arancini (rice balls) for a snack on another day. A leftover sweet potato or two can be mixed with butternut squash to make a sweet and healthy mashed side dish. Mashed po- tatoes can be transformed into potato croquettes or potato pancakes. Finding new ways to use leftovers means minimal waste and fewer trips to the supermarket. Metro Creative Connection F ood allergies affect millions of people around the world. The group FARE (Food Allergy Research & Education) says researchers estimate 32 mil- lion Americans have food allergies. Among those aller- gies, milk is a leading source of food-related irritation. People with milk or dairy allergies experience symp- toms because their immune systems react as though these foods and beverages are dan- gerous invaders, according to the American College of Al- lergy, Asthma & Immunology. Symptoms of dairy allergies can include upset stomach, vomiting, bloody stools, hives, and general feelings of mal- aise. Dairy allergies also can cause anaphylaxis, a severe, life-threatening reaction. As delicious as dairy prod- ucts can be, people with dairy allergies have to avoid milk, cheese and yogurt, among other foods. Fortunately for allergy sufferers, a variety of foods and beverages can be easily substituted for dairy products. • Traditional milk: Non- dairy alternatives for milk abound. Soy milk was one of the first alternatives to cow milk, and now rice, almond, coconut, oat, and hemp seed milks also are available. • Yogurt: Dairy-based yogurts come in a variety of flavors. So, too, do dairy alter- natives. Many alternatives are made from the same ingredi- ents as milk alternatives. So these yogurts may be soy- or coconut-based. • Ice cream: Silky, creamy ice cream is a treat on a hot day. For people with dairy allergies, soy- and coconut- based ice creams can serve as an alternative to traditional ice cream. • Cheese: Cheeses can be hard, grated, spreadable, and soft. Substituting for cheese in a non-dairy diet can be challenging. Nutritional yeast can make foods more flavor- ful and can be sprinkled on like parmesan cheese. Sliced smoked tofu can mimic mozzarella or provolone on cracker platters. Cubed tofu may have the texture of cot- tage cheese or ricotta. Cheesy sauces often use a combina- tion of ground nuts, spices and nutritional yeast to create that tangy appeal. • Butter: Many non-dairy butters are made from vegeta- ble oils or coconut. They often lend fat and flavor to dishes. Margarines and other butter alternatives are readily avail- able in the dairy aisle. Many people must avoid dairy due to allergies or other health-related reasons. Fortu- nately, stores are stocked with many items that can easily replace dairy in recipes or as stand-alone foods and bever- ages.

But be-cause its production in the regular season was insane, the War Eagles could afford to take a nap and coast home to their first conference championship in 27 years. After capturing all eight of the CPC’s nine-hole matches and building a 69-stroke lead, they tied for third in the CPCT. West Forsyth and Reagan shared first with 317s. Davie and Reynolds tied at 32-over 320. East Forsyth (336) and Mt. Tabor (353) rounded out the team scoring. Davie was paced by a pair of 6-over 78s from senior Cooper Drum and junior Landon Packard. Senior Evan Owen was next at 81. Senior Beck Owen, whom you will hear more about, and junior Ander- Golfers coast to title son Beliveau had 83s to complete Davie’s scoring. Davie’s gigantic season saw it finish with 1,522 strokes in CPC play. West was a distant second at 1,588. The other team totals: Reagan 1602, Reynolds 1643, East Forsyth 1719, Mt. Tabor 1729. The War Eagles awakened the echoes from yesteryear by finish-ing on top. They won 10 straight North Piedmont Conference titles back in the day (1975-84). They won CPC crowns in 1987 and 1997, so this one was a long time coming. Five War Eagles cracked the top 10 in the individual standings to earn all-conference honors. Davie’s biggest star in CPC play was E. Owen, who was third in the league at 341, or nine off the pace. B. Owen was fifth at 345, Packard sixth at 346, Beliveau eighth at 351 and Drum 10th at 353. Midwest RegionalB. Owen was a big part of Da- vie’s CPC glory, but, my gosh, did he take his game to another level in the Midwest 4-A Regional at Skybrook on May 6.He shot an even-par 72 to finish three shots back and tie for eighth overall. The cutoff to qualify for the state was 73, so B. Owen punched his ticket to the state tournament. How spectacular was B. Ow-en’s round? The 72 marked Da-vie’s finest regional effort since Wesley Sink’s 72 in 2015. “He has made some clutch putts all year,” coach Scott Spillman said. “Several of our matches this year ended with him making a big putt on the last hole. That hap-pened again at regionals, where he made a putt on 18 to secure that even round.”Drum tied for 35th with a 79. E. Owen and Beliveau had 80s to tie for 40th. Packard shot 84 as Davie Please See Title - Page B5 By Brian PittsEnterprise Record Even when Davie’s softball team had Riley Potts in the circle, it was going to be a challenge to knock off West Forsyth, which downed Davie 2-0 in the first meeting when Potts and West’s Morgan Maxwell dueled. But with Potts on the shelf with an injury, the challenge went to a whole new level. In the Central Piedmont Con-ference Tournament semifinals, Davie gave it a valiant effort be-fore falling 6-3. One day earlier in the quarter-finals, third-seeded Davie faced a pushover in No. 6 Mt. Tabor. Raney Phelps and Raelyn Lank-ford cracked home runs and three pitchers struck out five over three innings as Davie eased to a 15-0 victory in two and a half innings. Phelps, Lankford and Brianna Tolar pitched one inning each as Davie beat the Spartans for the 38th consecutive time and closed Tabor’s season at 4-13. West 6, Davie 3Coach Nathan Handy knew the road would get bumpy against quality competition, and Davie certainly faced that in the semifi-nals at Glenn on April 30. No. 2 West Forsyth was the opponent, a team with a 21-3 record coming in. Davie did not just roll over. It scored the game’s first run in the top of the second, it grabbed a 2-1 lead in the third and it never let West pull away, although the Titans ultimately walked off with their eighth straight win and their third win this season over Davie. “We played respectably,” Handy said. Davie jumped on top. Lankford singled to open the second, ad-vanced to second on a wild pitch, took third on a groundout and scored on a passed ball. After Maxwell retired the first two in the third, Phelps singled and scored all the way from first on a double by Jadyn Davis. Alas, Davie’s 2-1 lead evapo-rated quickly. The Titans had the top of the order due in the bottom of the third - and they pounced. A double-walk-single-single-walk-error sequence lifted West to a 5-2 lead. Davie cut into the deficit in the fourth. Hanna Steinour roped a triple and scored on a bunt by Lankford. While Davie was only By Brian PittsEnterprise Record When the Davie baseball team entered the 4-A playoffs as the No. 22 seed in the West Region, there was certainly nothing in its recent past to suggest that anything special was about to happen at Watauga on May 7. But just when you thought the War Eagles, who were coming off three losses to Glenn in a span of seven days, were done, they gave us this. They shed the stink of Glenn with a 3-2 first-round win that won’t soon be forgotten. It was an epic 12-inning triumph over the No. 11 Pioneers, who came in with 15 wins in 21 tries. “It’s a hard game to explain be-cause if you look at the stat sheet, you’re not gonna see everything that happened in that game,” coach Joey Anderson said. “You had two teams giving everything they pos-sibly could, playing their hearts out to move to the next round.”“It was probably one of the most fun games that I’ve played here,” Watauga senior Jake Hen-derson told the Watauga Democrat. “I’ve never played in a game that went this long.”Davie’s second life began in the third inning, when Coston Colamarino reached on an error and Coy James walked. After Watauga got the first out, Hunter Potts jumped on the first offering and laced a two-run single to left. Davie held a 2-1 lead going into the bottom of the seventh. Cole Whitaker, who relieved Braeden Rodgers to begin the inning, retired the first batter but then yielded a single. That Pioneer stole second and third and scored the tying run on a hit. With the score 2-2, Anderson gave the ball to Connor Berg. Watauga tried to push the win-ning run into scoring position, but catcher Drew Krause gunned a throw to James to cut him down and force extra innings. Then it seemed like a game that would never end. In the ninth, Watauga had visions of walking it off. The home team got a pinch-hit single, and after a sac bunt, Ander-son ordered an intentional walk to set up the force.

The War Eagles led by four before trailing by five. They would emerge with a 15-13 victory that saw the teams combine for 18 errors - most of them by the visiting Falcons. “It was ugly on both sides,” Davie varsity coach Joey Anderson said. “I think we had a few more errors than four, but they had quite a few.”Both teams had nine hits, but Forbush had an abysmal defensive day while com-mitting 14 errors. The War Eagles faced an 11-6 deficit going into the bottom of the fifth. Although the first two batters were retired, they still managed to cut the margin to 11-9. Two walks and an error loaded the bases. Another error plated two runs. Davie wiped out the defi- cit for good in the sixth. After a walk, Luke Foster tripled, then scored on Blake French’s sac fly. After an error and hit batsman, Nate Barr singled. An error was followed by a Ryan Wil-liams single. After yet an-other error, Foster delivered his second hit of the inning. At that point, Davie had a 15-11 lead. The Falcons had one last rally in them, but they couldn’t come all the way back in the seventh thanks to Jacob Patton’s sol-id pitching as Davie’s third arm of the game. Forbush scored three runs in Patton’s three in-nings, but only one was earned. He walked none and threw 23 of 32 pitches for strikes. “Jake Patton was throw-ing strikes,” Anderson said. “He was coming right at them. He did a great job. He was making them put the ball in play. In a game like that, that’s all you really wanted.”Davie’s steady leadoff man, Hayden Potts, suffered an injury in the first inning and had to leave. It was pretty awesome watching Dashel Desnoyers come in and go 2 for 4 with two runs and a walk. “Hayden and Ayden (Sanders) ran into each other and Hayden had to come out,” Anderson said. “Dashel came in and played real well at short. We’re glad Hayden is good, but we’re also glad that Dashel got in and had the game that he had.”Batting third in the order, Foster matched Desnoyers by going 2-4 as well as driving in two. By scoring 30 runs across two games, Davie picked up its second win in a row. Contributing one hit were Bubby Bying-ton (1-4, two runs), Colin Harrison (1-2, two runs, walk), Barr (1-3, two runs, walk), Tanner Steinour (1-4, three runs) and Williams (1-4). “Luke had some real good at-bats,” Anderson said. Watauga 5, Davie 4Four days later, the War Eagles were less fortunate in a seesaw game in Boone. They had a shoddy showing defensively (four errors) and only mustered three hits. The Pioneers scored twice in the bottom of the seventh to walk it off and overcome its five miscues in the field. It was another roller coaster game. Davie surged in front in the fifth. After Byington and Steinour had singles, Byington scored on Potts’ sac fly to tie the game. When Steinour scored on an error, Davie was ahead 4-3. Too bad Davie wound up losing on a day when Harri-son (four innings) and Josh-ua Whitaker (2.1 innings) did not yield an earned run. In the bottom of the seventh, the first batter reached on an error. After a walk, Watauga won it on a double, just its sixth hit of the game. Steinour went 2 for 2 with two runs and a walk. Byington (1-3) had the oth-er hit. East 9, Davie 4Davie drilled East For-syth 15-8 on April 12, but 10 days later a forgettable outing on defense did the home team no favors in a loss to East. Davie made five errors and watched a 3-0 lead vanish in the fifth. Sanders and Ty Greene pitched 4.1 and 2.2 innings, respective-ly. They both gave up one earned run, but East pre-vailed by only making one error and collecting 10 hits. Davie’s offensive lead-ers were Foster (2-3) and Harrison (2-2, two dou-bles, walk). Potts (1-2) and Ty Sain (1-4) had one hit apiece. Sweeping GlennDavie closed the season by dismantling Glenn twice in a span of three days. The mercy-rule scores were 16-1 and 14-0. Davie’s final records were 7-8 overall and 4-5 in the Central Piedmont Conference. JV baseball rallies for wacky win over Forbush but Davie manufactured one in the 12th. After McBride walked, Colamarino was called safe on a bang-bang play at first, resulting in a bunt hit. James walked on a 3-2 pitch to load the bases. Watauga went to the bull-pen, and two pitches later, McBride scampered home on a wild pitch to give Davie the 3-2 lead - the visitors’ first run in nine innings. Davie was looking for more, but Colamarino was thrown out at home by the second baseman. In the last of the 12th, Berg got the first batter on a popup to second baseman Carson Queen and induced a groundout to third baseman Colamarino. Watauga, though, refused to go quietly. JT Cook dou-bled to keep the Pioneers alive. But it was a priceless moment for Davie when the next batter bounced out to shortstop James. “That’s one of the best games that I’ve ever played,” Watauga’s Jameson Hodges said. “It didn’t end the way that we wanted, but I still enjoyed it.”The starter and long re-liever deserve tons of credit for keeping Davie’s season alive at 13-10. Rodgers was outstanding over six innings, as he scattered six hits, allowed one run and lowered his ERA to 2.23 over 10 starts. Then it was Berg who was just humming along in the eighth, ninth, 10th, 11th and 12th. Of course he was; his ERA dropped to 1.62 after he produced 5.2 scoreless innings. He threw 46 of 63 pitches for strikes and picked up his sixth win. “Connor basically threw a second game for us,” An- derson said. Then there were the un-sung heroes. Corbin Angus, who had seen just 16 at-bats all year, came out of no-where with two hits. Don’t forget Logan Allen, who mashed a double as a pinch hitter. Davie got one hit from Potts, Cooper Bliss and Colamarino and advanced despite getting outhit 10-6. “It was a heckuva game,” Anderson said. “I hated to coach it because it about gave me a heart attack.”Notes: This was Davie’s second win over Watauga, the other being 3-0 on April 20. ... Davie has a four-game winning streak in first-round games. ... In the second round at Cox Mill, the War Eagles burst to 3-0, 5-3 and 8-6 leads, but they couldn’t find the magic to finish it off, losing 11-9. A story on that one will appear next week. Epic ... do the same thing. Frankly, there aren’t many big reser-voirs being built these days. North Carolina’s most-re-cent additions were Falls of the Neuse, Jordan and Shearon Harris reservoirs, all completed in the 1980s. Georgia got Lake Oconee in 1979 and Georgia and South Carolina got Lake Russell on the Savannah River in 1984.Louisiana fishermen are reaping the profits from a unique project that came about through happen-stance and great planning. Bussey Brake, a 2,200-acre reservoir in the northeast- ern corner of the state, was for decades an emergency water-supply lake for an In-ternational Paper Co. mill in nearby Bastrop. The mill was closed in 2010, and IP donated the reservoir and 400 surrounding acres to the state of Louisiana in 2013. The state turned it over to the Louisiana De-partment of Wildlife and Fisheries, which set out to totally reconstitute the shal-low reservoir.The lake, once a great fishery, had fallen on hard times as the turn of the century approached, its shallow waters filled with all measures of trash fish and not much in the way of gamefish. LDWF drained it and removed every ves-tige of fish flesh it could. It built new boating chan-nels, put up a new pier and boat dock and a wave break around the launching area. The agency began stocking Florida-strain largemouth bass, crappie, bluegill and shellcrackers in 2017 – plus assorted baitfish – and the lake began to fill back up, naturally, finally reaching Please See Bass ‑ Page B8 B4 - DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, May 23, 2024 Continued From Page B1 incredible how 30th-seeded Davie nearly bounced the No. 3 seed. The Tabor game was Da-vie’s third straight loss. The Spartans scored the game’s only goal with 25 minutes remaining. “We created a decent amount of opportunities,” Kopetzky said. “We were moving down the field. The keeper made some big stops for them.”And then: “We are clos-ing score gaps, we are cre-ating more goals and letting less in than we did a year ago and two years ago. They don’t quit and they play hard. It’s a build and we will get there.”Fuller Kate Holt is a sophomore who has split time on JV and varsity, but she is a girl you want on your team. “Fuller Kate went in and did everything I asked her to,” Kopetzky said. “She played a heck of a game. She played a little bit every-where. At center forward, she crashed their goal. She opened up a shot for her-self. She forced their center backs to make decisions. She played some left and right wing. It’s hard to find kids that are going to give me more effort than Fuller Kate. I can take heart and effort and do a lot with that.”While Tabor improved to 10-6-1 overall and 6-5 in the Central Piedmont Confer-ence, Davie slipped to 5-7-2, 2-7-2. But senior Maddie Hayes, junior Jaden Sink, senior Lauren Colamarino and senior Kim Torres were big reasons Davie hung with Tabor all night. “Maddie stepped up at outside back,” Kopetzky said. “She’s been filling in for an injury. We know what we’re getting from Jaden every night. Lauren locked down the midfield a lot. She shuts down a lot of fast breaks and puts us in a decent amount as well. If you ask somebody to play with more heart than that kid (Torres), it would be hard to find one. She gives every ounce of it to soccer.”West 5, Davie 0Davie put up little resis-tance at West Forsyth on May 1, falling behind 4-0 in the first half and watching the Titans roll to 14-2-1. Davie 9, Parkland 0Sink drilled four goals and Lydia Postell followed up with a hat trick as Davie halted the four-game dry spell with a breezy win at Parkland on May 7. Colamarino and Caroline Mitchell added goals as Da-vie dropped the Mustangs to 2-17. Davie 9, Glenn 0In the final regular-sea-son game on May 8, Caylee Willard rolled up three goals and Davie cruised to its highest win total in eight years. Postell and Colamarino had two goals apiece and Renna Welborn had one as Davie improved to 7-8-2 overall and 4-8-2 in the CPC. It’s the most wins since Davie went 8-11 in 2016. The Bobcats closed at 4-14-1. Kopetzky had to sweat as the War Eagles waited for the state-playoff pair- ings to be released. They wound up receiving their first berth in eight years. They weren’t just happy to be in Clemmons on May 13, they brought more oomph than West could have imag-ined and held a 1-0 lead. West would survive in the final 20 seconds. Details on that amazing showing will appear next week. Soccer ... Houses, Decks, Driveways Gutter Cleaning, Roof Wash Accepting New Patients!

Northwest Guilford won the team title at 1-under 287. Marvin Ridge (289), Grimsley (300), Page (307) and West Forsyth (308) finished ahead of Davie and Cuthbertson (311s). The rest of the scoring: Reagan 312, Northern Guilford 318, Weddington 321, Cox Mill 334, Lake Norman 335, South Iredell 339. Only the top three teams advanced, so B. Owen was Davie’s lone state qualifier. Title ... From 2003-24, a span of 22 years, Davie has seen two guys shoot even or better in the regional tournament - B. Owen and Sink. B. Owen became just the fourth state qualifier in the last 10 years; the others were Sink in 2015 and 2017 and Beliveau in 2023. “Beck keeps the ball in play and is a good ball-strik-er,” Spillman said. “He seems to play in the present and always focusses on the next shot, which is big. He has worked really hard on his game this year.” Continued From Page B1down 5-3, it would only manage two more hits. West got an insurance run in the fourth, and that was that. The hits were pretty much even (7-6 in West’s favor), but West clearly outplayed Davie with the gloves. Davie’s four errors led to two unearned runs. “We played well,” Handy said. “We made some mis-takes that really hurt, but when you go from 10-12 balls being put in play (with Potts pitching) to 25 or 30, the chances of making mis-takes are going to go up.”Phelps had a massive chore as a freshman pitcher, but Handy had no com-plaints with her four-inning effort. Then Lankford came in and blanked West in the fifth and sixth. “Raney did a phenom-enal job on the mound,” Handy said. “She executed the game plan well, and the defense did a good job ex-cept for a few mistakes here and there. The team rallied around (Phelps). Raelyn pitched really well, too. She Softball ... can throw, she just does not pitch (much) anymore.”Davie’s hits were spread among Phelps (1-4), Davis (1-3), Steinour (1-3), Lank-ford (1-2), Ashley Bledsoe (1-3) and Brenna Altiers (1-3). “Carleigh (Croom) has been leading off the last few games, and she did great,” Handy said. “She did what she was supposed to as a leadoff - she put the ball in play.”Maxwell, a talented freshman arm for the Titans, limited her walks to two and struck out seven War Eagles. Later in the week, West cel-ebrated the tournament title with a 1-0 win over Reagan. Notes: The War Eagles secured the No. 16 seed in the West Region for the 4-A playoffs and got a home game against Cuthbertson on May 7. It was 0-0 through four innings, but the Cava-liers ended Davie’s season 5-3 despite two hits from Davis and Landry Parsons and solid pitching from Phelps and Lankford.

The 5-fish daily limit on bass included a nice, trophy restriction – only one fish 16 inches or longer allowed to be kept per day. Crappie are managed with a 25-fish daily creel limit and a 10-inch size minimum.To say that the petri dish of Bussey Brake grew some great fish cultures is an understatement. Soon after it reopened, it start-ed to spit out big fish, es-pecially bass and crappie. Less than two years after it opened, bass pro Randy Howell of Alabama (who grew up on North Caro-lina’s Lake Gaston), set a Major League Fishing circuit record by landing a 12-pound, 14-ounce bass. That record lasted over a year, broken several times. The 15-pound mark was crushed in February 2023 when an Arkan-sas angler, Robert Rush, caught a 15.36-pound lunk-er. That lasted a year and a week before Louisiana angler Sid Wilde boated a 15.78-pound bass that was 27 inches long with a 23½- Bass ...

Another Louisi-ana angler, Jarred Friday, boated a 13.10-pound bass. That broke his personal record, a 12.48-pounder, caught March 31. A contract worker who was living in a near-by campground while he worked for several weeks in the area, said that be-tween March 25 and May 11, when he caught his 13.10-pound fish, he put 16 double-digit fish in his boat, fishing weekdays af-ter work and weekends. He said he caught three double-digit fish in a sin-gle day, winding up with almost 31 pounds for those triplets.I doubt there were 16 double-digit fish caught in North Carolina in 2023 from any kind of water. And this one guy caught three in one day and 16 in seven weeks from one res-ervoir?I know there are few places on any river system in North Carolina where there’s a need for a nice, new, hydroelectric dam and 5,000 or so acres of water. But if one appeared, with the N.C. Wildlife Resourc-es Commission giving a thumbs-up to stocking the F1 Florida-northern large-mouth hybrid in the future, it would be neat to see what kind of fish could be grown in a perfect environment.

Following the expiration of the statu- tory upset bid period, all the remain- ing amounts are immediately due and owing. THIRD PARTY PURCHAS- ERS MUST PAY THE EXCISE TAX AND THE RECORDING COSTS FOR THEIR DEED. Said property to be offered pursuant to this Notice of Sale is being offered for sale, transfer and conveyance “AS IS WHERE IS.” There are no representa- tions of warranty relating to the title or any physical, environmental, health or safety conditions existing in, on, at, or relating to the property being offered for sale. Substitute Trustee does not have possession of the property and cannot grant access, prior to or after the sale, for purposes of inspection and/or appraisal. This sale is made subject to all prior liens, unpaid taxes, any unpaid land transfer taxes, special assessments, easements, rights of way, deeds of release, and any other encumbrances or exceptions of re- cord. To the best of the knowledge and belief of the undersigned, the current owner(s) of the property is/are Michael B. White and wife, Jennifer G. White. An Order for possession of the property may be issued pursuant to G.S. 45-21.29 in favor of the purchaser and against the party or parties in possession by the clerk of superior court of the county in which the property is sold. Any person who occupies the property pursuant to a rental agreement entered into or re- newed on or after October 1, 2007, may, after receiving the notice of sale, termi- nate the rental agreement by providing written notice of termination to the landlord, to be effective on a date stated in the notice that is at least 10 days, but no more than 90 days after the sale date contained in the notice of sale, provid- ed that the mortgagor has not cured the default at the time the tenant provides the notice of termination [NCGS § 45- 21.16A(b)(2)]. Upon termination of a rental agreement, the tenant is liable for rent due under the rental agreement prorated to the effective date of the ter- mination. If the trustee is unable to convey title to this property for any reason, the sole remedy of the purchaser is the return of the deposit. Reasons of such inability to convey include, but are not limited to, the filing of a bankruptcy petition prior to the confirmation of the sale and rein- statement of the loan without the knowl- edge of the trustee. If the validity of the sale is challenged by any party, the trust- ee, in their sole discretion, if they believe the challenge to have merit, may request the court to declare the sale to be void and return the deposit. The purchaser will have no further remedy.
