Tatum Humanitarian Award from the Davie County Chamber of Commerce.And now, he’s working to-wards retirement.The love of agronomy began at an early age for Bivins as he started mowing lawns at approx-imately 8 to 10, and in time made this his life-long career.Bivins has served as the su-perintendent of the golf course at The Country Club of Salisbury for 40 years and is working to-ward making the transition from full time to part time and eventu-ally retirement.While the ‘R’ word has Bivins honored for devotion to community E.C.

He’s still going to work” he said, noting he could be doing some part time work or consulting if needed.Bivins, along with wife Te-resa, makes his home in Cool-eemee. The couple has two chil-dren, daughter Jessica Miller Please See Bivins - Page 4 By Grace HauserSudent Intern School is out, but students are still learning. The Read to Achieve camp was held at Mocksville Elementary for second and third graders. While the younger kids learned reading and science, six Davie High student interns and one college intern were learning how to teach. They provided instruction and support in art and science class-es, read with kids in small groups, and created instructional materi-als. Three interns - April Collins, Amber Lynde, and Ava Gary - shared their experiences. Ava has always known she wanted to be a teacher as both of her parents work in education. She said that her teachers have made a significant impact on her, and she “wants to make a difference like that for other students.” April chose teaching because she, too, was influenced by teachers in her life. Echoing this sentiment, Amber was grateful for her amazing el-ementary teachers who “really inspired her to be a great teacher.” The interns enjoyed meeting and interacting with the kids. They made fond memories as they built science projects and made crafts. Student teachers Amber Lynde, April Collins and Ava Gary appreciate their summer opportunity in Davie County Schools. - Photo by Grace Hauser At 6 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 6, members of the Mocksville Town Board will conduct the town’s monthly business meeting.You can watch it live on the town’s YouTube channel.This initiative aims to enhance public access to the actions and de-cisions of elected officials, ensuring transparency and fostering commu-nity engagement, said town clerk and assistant manager Lynn Trivette.The most recent meeting, on July 2, is available for viewing at: https://www.youtube.com/@townofmocks-ville. North Carolina requires that ev-ery town have a clerk responsible for maintaining local government records, including the minutes of board meetings ... essential for en-suring accountability and preserving the history, she said.“As the clerk of the Town of Mocksville, I am thrilled to share the Town board meetings can be seen on YouTube Please See Meetings - Page 9 Building relationships with students contributes to success in and beyond the classroom, Amber said, explaining that she valued the moments between classes or in the hall where the kids would ask to play a quick game of Simon Says. Internships can equip students with important skills including leadership, patience, and unconditional support. April noted the im-portance of “loving the kids through their hard times,” such as when they're acting out or misbehaving. Amber gained insight into “navigating students that may need extra help.” Ava said that she appreciated experiencing “the good things and the unexpected things” that may appear in her classroom. All three plan to pursue a degree in elementary education.Who inspired them to choose teaching? It was hard to pick just one teacher. April would like to shout-out Dana Parker, her fifth grade teacher at Mocksville Elementary, for being understanding and always will-ing to talk. Another fifth grade teacher at Mocksville Elementary, Mrs. Dot-son, was unforgettable to Ava. “You could tell she’s passionate about every one of her kids.” Students still learning over the summer Please See Interns - Page 7 2 ‑ DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Aug. 1, 2024Editorial Page USPS 149-160 171 S.

Tell us what you think The Literary Corner Renegade Writer’s Guild ‘Rurban,’ the current state of Davie County WNC SanatoriumBy Marie Craig When growing up two miles west of Black Mountain, N.C., there was a huge hospital on the nearby tall hill for patients suffering from tuberculosis. The official name was the Western North Carolina Sanatorium. Looking through the woods surrounding my house at a slight northwest angle, I could see this long brick building. It was only about a half mile away, and on Sunday afternoons when I was young, my parents and I would walk up that steep hill and visit the pa-tients. I remember how many there were, and that they were attentive to me because they missed their families back home. This was probably not a good idea at the time in terms of our own possibility of contracting the infectious disease, but no harm came. The hospital showed movies at night, and the families living nearby were invited to come watch for free, and I remember attending.As I have pondered those days, I remembered the little creek between us, and the time we three honored an extra pine tree near it by making it our Christmas tree. All of this has changed now, of course, and the TB hospital which operated between 1937 and 1989 is now named the Black Mountain Neuro Medical Treatment Center. The huge blue spruces that were once in front of the long hospital have been replaced by small deciduous trees. The huge grassy area of the sides of the big hill is the site of the Western Carolina State Veterans Cemetery. FindAGrave.com lists 9,274 burials there. An online source states the cemetery covers 42 acres.In the book I compiled, “Davie Doctors Born Before 1900,” I discovered that Dr. Lester Poindexter Martin had been a member of the board of directors of this hospital in Black Mountain. Online, I found several pamphlets and re-ports. I found his name on the 1941-1942 Biennial Report: Dr. L.P. Martin, Mocksville, N.C. As a researcher, I looked at each page of the 1940 US Census for that area to determine if the census had included names of TB patients of the three year old hospital, and they did not. However, the 1950 US Census (Enumeration District 11-29B) did include them on the last 11 pages. A quick study shows 314 people listed; 245 were patients, and 69 were em-ployees. The patients’ birth states were listed, and they were from many states, one from England, and one from China. Subtracting these, there were 203North Carolina patients. I found these quotes about the disease itself: “Tuberculosis (TB) is still a problem worldwide, but it is largely controlled in the United States. The discovery of antibiotics in the 20th century was a major breakthrough in TB treatment.” “In 1943, Selman Waksman, Elizabeth Bugie, and Albert Schatz developed streptomycin. Waksman later received the 1952 Nobel Prize for Physiology and Medicine for this discovery.”Things change through the years. The good news is that TB has been controlled. Even though it was probably dan-gerous for us to be around these sick people, I’m grateful that my parents showed compassion and were willing to bring a little joy to the patients.Bothântaîocht not ScoraîochtBy Julie Terry CartnerAs someone who has always been fascinated by every-thing Irish, I recently found a blog written by Irish brothers, Owen and Mîcheâl Ô Sûilleabhâin. Each entry teaches an Irish word, translates it, and explains the term in in relation to Irish culture. Yesterday’s words struck a chord with me.Prior to houses having several telephones, and definitely prior to cell phones and social media, people used to visit, especially on Sunday afternoons. As you probably know, people would sit on porches in nice weather, or inside if not, where they’d share stories over a glass of sweet tea, or hot tea, or coffee, and perhaps a slice of cake left over from Sun-day dinner. People worked hard during the week, and Sun-day was their day to rest and reconnect with friends, family, and neighbors. This lifestyle is one that the majority of folks, whether from the North or South, East or West, shares. Here they could catch up with what was going on in each other’s lives. Here they could learn the news from each other. Here they could see who might need help and figure out how to offer said help. The conversations were deep and meaningful, the purpose was to enrich. Often, as the sun sank below the hori-zon in a blaze of color, as the evening stars peered out from behind clouds, as the fireflies began their evening dance, gui-tars, fiddles, and harps would come out, and songs would em-bellish the conversation. Storytelling would turn to the past, and as the children listened, they leaned about old uncle Sam or great-aunt Mary. Other times they’d sit spellbound as tales as old as time itself, stories of imps and elves, heroes and villains, wee folk and ogres were told and re-told. In this way, the stories, though perhaps enhanced by the re-telling, were passed on, generation to generation, never to be forgotten. Thus, the tales, both new and old, became strands of their lives, weaving together a connection as strong and bold as life itself.If a neighbor needed help getting up hay, or a newly mar-ried couple needed help setting up their household, or if some-one were sick and needed tending, that information would be passed along, and people would step up to do their part. If someone were getting married, or expecting a baby, or leav-ing to join the military, people would share that information, then shower the person or couple with gifts and well-wishes. All of these are in the spirit of botha’ntai’ocht, sharing stories and history for the sake of community.Scoraîocht, on the other hand, is visiting for the sake of gossip, mean spirited tales told behind cupped hands, less interested in truth than in spreading scandal. Often, it’s just thoughtless, a way to get attention. Rarely is it based in truth, and even more rarely is it an attempt to elicit compassion, kindness, or community. Social media has made scorai’ocht even easier. Whereas gossip was often whispered with prom-ises of ... don’t tell … social media has enabled people to share gossip and make hurtful comments with third person distance.We are better than that. Cell phones and social media are not evil, they are tools. Like any tool, they can be used for good or for harm. Ironically, people have never had greater ability to connect with others all over the world, and yet, in some ways, we have never been more divided. Think what we could do if we used social media to uplift rather than destroy.It is said that the first step to solving a problem is to rec-ognize the problem. The second step is to change or correct the issue. We must do better. Our children, our communities, our country and world need us to do better. Let’s bring back botha’ntai’ocht to our communities and remove scorai’ocht from our lives. When we believe that we belong, when we feel we are included, we work harder to win. In this case, when we build stronger communities that include everyone, when we work together to care for each other, when we share stories of the past to create a better future, we all win.Seventy-NineBy Gaye HootsI celebrated my birthday on July 20. The family was not here but I spoke with them by phone and the twins sent a video of them singing Happy Birthday. My neighbors had cake and champagne at the pool in the light of a beautiful full moon. I have lived the average lifetime of a US citizen so from now on I am on borrowed time and plan to make the most of it.I plan to be back in Advance before the end of the month. Bob Potts passed away while I was gone, and I hope to visit Betty. She and Bob had been married for 72 years and were seldom apart. It will be a difficult adjustment. Another friend had back surgery and I plan to see her. Two other friends are in care facilities, and I try to see them whenever I am there. Another friend is 92 and lives in Hickory and a visit is sched-uled. I hope to see everyone at church or for a visit.My great-granddaughter Mia is still in the NICU at Baptist Hospital and this week her feeding tube came out and she had to be put back on the vent. This is disappointing but she is stable and aware of her surroundings. We are supporting her and Tiffany with prayers, and visits when possible. They have our love, and we are praying it will be possible for her to come home at some point.Janine, a close friend from first grade, celebrated her birth-day this month. Our graduating class is planning a reunion in September, and I am looking forward to that. My life has moved at a slower pace since COVID, and I enjoy it more. Maybe knowing my time is “borrowed” makes me appreciate it more.This week I read about all the confusion caused by what sounds like a computer malfunction that caused flight can-cellations and mass confusion. There was the assassination attempt that cost one life and seriously injured two others. This appears to be the action of a youth suffering from years of bullying and rejection from a school shooting club that was quoted as saying he was told not to come back. I believe he was trying to impress them by killing a high-profile candidate to prove he could shoot. He had researched both candidates, but this rally was within driving distance, and he came within an inch of succeeding.It is humbling to realize just how vulnerable we are. This is another reason I avoid crowds. These political rallies cost taxpayers billions of dollars for security. This year was espe-cially costly as candidates were eligible for Secret Service coverage for themselves and their families. There was no ben-efit to taxpayers. The rallies were for show. Those attending had already affiliated with the party whose rally they were attending. No one came with an open mind to change. Poli-cies for both parties had a clear history so there was nothing to be accomplished and each candidate knew there was a risk, otherwise security would not have been requested.Sadly, we are vulnerable but the risk and cost to taxpay-ers could be reduced by eliminatingthe rallies, the number of public appearances, and travel that taxpayers foot the bill for. Little of it is necessary and it would be hard to identify any benefit to those of us who foot the bill.I hope and pray that our military is not subject to the same glitches and mistakes as we have seen this week. We need to project a strong image to other countries and eliminate our vulnerabilities. A Renegade writer grew up near the Western North Carolina Sanitorium in Black Mountain. We’re still on the cusp.While most government agencies still classify Davie County as being rural - some of us who grew up here think otherwise. There’s too many people, too many houses and business too close together for us to be rural. Right?Maybe, but we’re not urban, either.We’re somewhere in between. Let’s call it “rurban.” Yeah, I just made that word up. The definition found in the “Cyni-cal Old-Codger Dictionary”: “Rurban: a defined geographical area composed of people who can’t decide if they want to live like sardines in a can or not.” (I made that definition up, too.)According to the US Census Bureau, we’re neither. We’re “Metro.” Go figure. I think according to that agency, Davie County is part of the Winston-Salem/Greensboro/High Point urban area, hence the term “metro.” At least that’s the way it sounded to this sometimes feeble brain. That same agen-cy defines “rural” as any place that doesn’t fit the definition of “urban.” Even my swamp and mountain education could figure that out. Those definitions do matter, however, when it comes to government funding.Living here, it’s obvious that we’re in transition.Go to a county commissioner’s meeting that has a rezon-ing issue on the agenda. You’ll hear people go on and on about those rural vistas that are disappearing at what seems like a daily basis (Vistas they don’t own, by the way.). Lis-ten to commissioners talk about doing everything they can to keep us rural, to honor our rural heritage. Then watch a Dollar General pop up in what was once a local cornfield.Commissioners even bought land to show they are com-mitted to helping keep Davie rural a priority, where they hope to build an ag type center. If it’s successful, it will bring in more people. It will require more employees. While that’s not keeping us rural, it’s definitely better than a subdivision with our current standards.Yep, we’re “rurban” and there’s no going back. We just have to maintain.Even here at the newspaper, the majority of the complaints we receive (At least the ones that aren’t directed at a specific person or business because of a personal issue.) are issues caused by this in-between status: loud music, gunshots and dogs running loose.If the county adopts a noise ordinance (I like loud music, too; if not loud enough to wake my neighbors up, at least loud enought to wake me up!), are they giving in to the “urban” way of life? If the county adopts an ordinance as to what hours and where guns can be fired, they are not only giving in to the ur-ban lifestyle, they would be committing political suicide. We like our guns and we should be able to shoot them whenever we like. If a neighbor complains, guess what? They’ll hear more shots at even more odd hours. It’s sad, but it’s the state we’re in right now. We want to control what our neighbors do and when they do it.And the dogs. This one hits home for me, as a dog allowed to roam tried to attack my little dog in my own backyard. The owner showed little concern. But yes, a county ordinance pro-hibiting dogs from roaming off of the owner’s property would put us a step closer to being urban. Give the sheriff’s depart-ment some credit here. Several people a year are now being charged with owning “nuisance” animals. That won’t happen with a single incident, but let your dog harass a neighbor or a neighbor’s animals multiple times and see what happens.We can stop some of this nonsense without ordinances, folks. It’s called common courtesy to your neighbors, wheth-er they look like you or not, whether they vote like you or not, whether they worship the same god as you or not, whether they own guns or not. We’re all people, and while we may disagree on this or that, we can get along if we all try.Be considerate of your neighbors. If we don’t, we’re a step closer to becoming urban. Not that urban folks can’t be nice, but they are binded by more laws that prevent disagreements between people. To stay more rural, we’ll have to figure out how to do that on our own.Gone are the days of my youth, where the old house with no door locks, air conditioning, central heat or indoor bath-rooms was home; situated at the end of a long drive at the end of a dirt road. That dirt road was extended, paved, and now, some 12 houses are situated on that quarter-mile stretch of extended road. It looks like an urban area gone wild.Yes, gone are the days of Davie County being rural.But we’re not urban yet, either.Let’s keep it that way.“Rurban” doesn’t sound so bad, does it?- Mike Barnhardt DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Aug. 1, 2024 - 3Dateline Reunions Saturday, Aug. 24Davie High Class of 1964, Noon, The Farm at Oak Hill, 186 Kent Lane, Mocksville.

Jessica is married to Alan Miller, and they have two daughters, Al-lie, 16; and Avery Jane, 12.He has special memories of when his children were small and work kept him late and he would miss seeing them before bedtime; there-fore, Teresa would bring the children to the golf course and the family would have a picnic lunch or dinner right there on the course.“They were basically raised on this golf course,” said Bivins, “and now my grandkids were raised on it, too.”In addition to his family, he said he has other families including his church family and his work family, which he calls his third family.And then there’s his coaching family, having coached high school foot-ball in Davie County for 17 years, retiring four years ago from this responsibility, and his work family.Gerry Moree, who has served as co-superintendent with Bivins since 2021 and been named as the new su-perintendent, called this a “dream team.”And Jim Hutchinson, who has worked at the club for 30 years and been, as Bivins called him, his “sidekick for most of my career,” said this was a good crew and “proba-bly the best team I’ve seen in a long time.”And as each praised the team, they equally praised Bivins and his leadership and his dedication to the job and the country club.Davis, who came in Feb-ruary, said that it has “been a pleasure and an honor work-ing with him” and described him as one who motivates his staff and is an awesome team member to both the club and other department heads offering to help them however possible.Passionate is one word that Moree shared to de-scribe Bivins telling that he Davie Chamber of Commerce President Keith Beck presents the E.C. Tatum Humanitarian Award to Ron Bivins, with wife Teresa and daughter, Jessica Miller. - Photo courtesy Davie Chamber Bivins with his crew at The Country Club of Salisbury. - Photo by Karen KistlerBivins ... has his hand in many things, being active with his family and church and community.“He's all in” with what-ever he does, Moree said. “I don’t understand how he has the time, but he manages to do a high quality attention to detail in everything.”Detail-oriented, along with being dedicated and a good manager and prideful in the product he puts out were how Chad Campbell, the golf professional at the club, described Bivins.Campbell, who has been at the country club for nine years, said that the relation-ship between the golf profes-sionals and superintendents “are of the utmost importance as we’re working toward the same goal. The quality of the golf course certainly makes my job easier, the better it is, the less complaints.”The team gets there bright and early, getting the course ready, “and by the time we get here and send off the first players, the golf course is pristine,” Campbell said, which is a testament to Ron and the team.Weather is always a chal-lenge, Campbell said, proba-bly the biggest one, and with flooding that has occurred, the team has rallied and tak- en care of the issues.Davis said he has only heard compliments from members and guests, but it’s not just the locals, but others coming in telling how great the course is.And while the staff has been small at times, “he manages to get the product to the point where it really exceeds the member’s ex-pectations yearly.”“We always did a lot with a little,” said Bivins, noting that this is a proud saying of his having a small budget when first came and working with a small crew, he said their budget has increased and their staff works hard.Bivins gives credit to Jimmy and Jerry Hurley say-ing they “were instrumental in starting the campaign for the renovation of the back nine along with Richard and Patsy Rendleman and many more donors. When the front nine was done, many more donors stepped up to the plate to finish the project.”As far as the crew, Bivins counts himself on the team as he said he is a working superintendent as he is out there helping clean up from storms or mow, which gets done everyday somewhere on the course whether it’s on the greens, the tees or fairways, changing the cups, or in the wintertime, doing other projects such as tree, drainage or irrigation work. “I get right out there in the thick of things with them and that carries over to the crew,” he said.Moree watched and con-tinues now that he is super-intendent, noting that he and Bivins have the same ideas and passion. “I just lead with kindness, have fun, get out there and work. I learned it from Ron, work with the guys, you’re part of the team,” he said. “You’re not really a boss, you’re more of a co-worker and try to develop relation-ships, friendships. So people really want to work with you that way.”For all he has learned from Bivins and the many other ways he has been helped by him, Moree said “thank you is not enough” as he didn’t know how to put into words all he wanted to express.During his 21 years, Moree said that Bivins had been everything, from a fa-ther to a brother to a counsel-or, seeing him through ups and downs.Bivins told how his team is there at the club everyday of the year except Christmas Day doing something on the course, whether mowing or working on a project.For 30 years, Hutchinson has volunteered to come and ride around on Christmas Day to make sure there’s no damage or busted pipes. Bivins calls him his Christ-mas Day worker.Being caring and an ad-vocate for his crew is how Tina Philbrick described Bivins.“He’s a good balance of what’s good for the member-ship and what’s best for his team,” she said. “He’s a good leader.”Philbrick, who has been there 13 years and serves as the comptroller, works to put the budget together and handle bills and therefore, she and Bivins work closely on invoices. He explains the whats and whys as far as the invoices go and therefore she has learned lots of golfing that she didn’t know before.Bivins played lots of sports in school and was going to Appalachian on a baseball scholarship but got hurt at the end of his high school career. So he came to Catawba and hoped to pur-sue baseball there but was injured again. He finished his college years with a business and management degree and worked at a golf course amid those studies. "While at Catawba, I was working at a local golf course in Mocksville, Twin Cedars," he said. He grad-uated and remained several more years until he was hired as an assistant in Salisbury 40 years ago.He said that it was “David Jordan and Hoyt Pope who hired me as superintendent and gave me a chance so I knew I was going to do the very best and give it a 150 percent to show them I could do it.”The rest he said is history, telling that “it’s been good. It’s been a long career. It feels like 10 years.”And what has kept him here? ‘Probably it was just always a challenge to make something better.”While in college he had many jobs and knew he didn’t want one that kept him inside, so he said he prayed he would get one that “I real-ly, really loved to do and all this came about.” Bivins said “they say a superintendent is a land-scaper, agronomist, plumber, electrician, mechanic, all of these things” plus you have to keep up with your licenses and be certified and keep up with continuing education unit credits, so he has worn many hats.As he plans to make this transition, those who have worked with him wish him well on his, as they call it, a well deserved retirement.When asked what mes-sage they would give Bivins, Campbell said, “a job well done and he has done a lot for this club.” Philbrick said it had been a pleasure working with him and “I wish him all the best and look forward to continu-ing to work with him for as long as he is here.”Hutchinson said that Bivins is a super guy and wished him “good luck.”In his retirement Bivins will remain just as busy as he continues in his work with his church, Camp Manna, a faith-based camp and retreat, doing summer camps and after school care, and now has services on Sundays and Wednesdays. He and his wife serve on the board of direc-tors. He also serves on the board of directors for the River Park in Cooleemee called the Bull Hole. They are trying to make the park “a cleaner, safer, family ori-ented park.”He loves to fish and hopes to be able to do that more.He has also served on advisory boards for Coolee-mee Elementary, South Da-vie Middle and Davie High schools. When there are big events coming to the club, whether it’s something to do with his department or not, Bivins will ask if they need help to let him know, said Davis. “He is just that type of per-son. He cares tremendously for this place. He goes above and beyond.” Of his many accomplish-ments, Bivins humbly shared of his being the recipient of the 2023 E.C. Tatum Hu-manitarian Award presented by Davie County Chamber of Commerce in March be-fore many civic and business leaders. It was presented by Keith Beck, president of the chamber, because of his in-volvement in the community and commitment.This is what Beck had to say:“A humanitarian is de-fined as someone who is de-voted to promoting human welfare and social reform often through charitable ac-tivities, advocacy or efforts aimed at the wellbeing of in-dividuals and communities.“This year’s recipient wears this definition well.“This year’s recipient has been living, giving, serving and keeping Davie County for well over 50 years. This year’s recipient understands how to serve, how to lead and how to give back.“This gentleman was an athlete and played football, baseball and basketball. This has led him to coach three sports. He has coached little league baseball and football. He has coached South Davie and Davie High football. He has coached Davie Recre-ation basketball and volun-teered for Legion baseball for years. “Because of his profes-sional background and ex-perience, he oversaw the turf renovation projects for baseball and football field improvements at Davie High School. He has helped local schools like Catawba Col-lege with field renovations as well.“He has served on the Board of Directors for The RiverPark at Cooleemee Falls for years. He has been creative and instrumental in fundraising. His energy and vigor helped create efforts like fish fries and duck races to raise funding. You’ll find this year’s recipient at the park often, nearly daily, in summer.“He holds high stan-dards and expectations. He is kind-hearted and commit-ted, he does what he says and says what he means, and he works his back as hard as his mind. He lives a life of ex-ample.“In short, he makes all he is involved in better. He will feel that he truly doesn’t de-serve this award, and that is another reason he does. He is an outstanding husband, father, colleague and friend.“The world truly is better because he’s in it.” Bivins is handing over the reigns as course superin- tendent to Gerry Moree. - Photo by Karen Kistler Accepting New Patients!

In honor of National In-tern Day on July 25, he re-flected on his 22-year career and is paying it forward to the next class of interns. It all began in the summer of 2001 when Parsley, an ap-plied mathematics major at N.C. State University, earned an internship in the account-ing department at Food Lion. With no formal finance back-ground, he quickly adapted and made such an impression that he was invited to return for a second summer intern- ship in the treasury depart-ment in 2002. After earning his bach-elor’s degree in fall 2002, Parsley was hired full-time as a financial analyst, mark-ing the start of his career with the organization. Over the years, he tran-sitioned through various de-partments: treasury, invest-ment analysis, pricing and now finance, where he was named director in 2017. He says each of those experiences allowed him to showcase his adaptability and problem-solving skills. “My career path is a tes-tament to the supportive and open culture at Food Lion, where leaders genuinely know and value associates,” he said. Today, he mentors interns in his department and is ex-cited to give them the same opportunities he had.“I like having internships as a pipeline. It’s a great way to give someone experience and, sometimes, join the company,” he said. “I love my job and the variety it brings. Helping others make better decisions and solving complex problems is fulfill-ing.”Parsley’s journey can be seen as an inspiration for young professionals start-ing careers and underscores opportunities at Food Lion provides. Brad Parsley, center, is surrounded by current and former Food Lion interns: Holden Rossi, 2024 finance intern; Sam Wright, financial analyst and 2022 fi-nance intern; Dalton Huneycutt, manager, finance-eCommerce and 2017 strate-gy intern; and Brittany Blair, finance analyst and 2017 intern.

In the rural area north of Harmony in Iredell Coun-ty, large tracts of farmland are now permanently con-served. Over the years, Three Rivers Land Trust worked with three land-owners and their families to conserve more than 1,535 acres in this area. The effort began in 1999 with 640 acres of the Dal-tonia Plantation. Over a decade later in 2011, the Grose family conserved their adjacent farm of over 490 acres. Now, on July 26, the Patterson family added to that legacy by conserving 405 acres.This newly conserved farm has 1.2 miles of front-age along Hunting Creek, a major tributary to the South Yadkin River. “Saving family farms and protecting local waters encompass two of our three focus areas at Three Rivers Land Trust,” states Execu-tive Director Travis More-head. “This easement not only permanently protects this land from being devel- Following graduation, Zach launched his career as a claims adjuster with AIG in Charlotte. In 2022, he moved to Amerisure Insurance as a claims specialist. Zach enjoys what he does and plans to continue work-ing in the insurance industry for many years.Zach credits his intern-ship experience at Johnson Insurance, a Davie insurance company, as the solidifica-tion needed that he was on the right career path. This experience gave him the opportunity to gain on-the-job practice and learn more about what a typical day in the role is like.Zach received the Com-munity Scholarship in 2010 which financially assisted with his college education. He attributes his success to not only his academic achievements but also to his unwavering work ethic and determination to excel in his field. He emphasizes the im-portance of networking and building connections, advice he eagerly shares with aspir-ing students and young pro-fessionals. His advice to current stu-dents? “Take advantage of all resources and opportuni-ties that Davie County High School and the community has to offer. Don’t be afraid to get out of your comfort zone to gain knowledge and develop new skills.” In 2023, he married Mal-lori, and they reside in Hunt-ersville. He maintains strong ties to his roots in Davie, frequently returning to spend time with friends and family. Where Are They Now?Scholar credits internship with career path expected to cost $10,500, said Town Manager Ken Gamble.The total design cost of the project - on the west side of South Main from the veteran’s monument to Wa-ter Street - is approximately $130,000, he said.

Blood drive to benefit Davie Habitat 8 - DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Aug. 1, 2024 For many years, First United Methodist Church in Mocksville has hosted some of the finest guest preachers and musicians for a sermon series encouraging spiritual renewal for the church and community. The Sprinkle Preaching Mission was inspired by the mission work of Dr. Henry Sprinkle and his wife, Mar-garet. Dr. Sprinkle retired in Mocksville (Margaret’s The Davie County High School Class of 1958 had 118 students, a far cry from the 400 or so who graduated this year.They came together from four Davie schools to form one central high school.“We knew some from the other schools since we played each other in sports, and we soon got to know others,” said class member, Alice Barnette.For the graduation cer-emony, the students had to rent their cap and gown, which was turned back in as soon as the commencement exercise was over.Each diploma included a printed message from the superintendent: “May you always possess the courage to face hardships, the wis-dom to solve problems and the faith to overcome obsta-cles; and may your heartr be filled with the joy of serving the peae of forgiving and the happiness of loving man-kind.”It’s still a good standard to live by, she said.Class members meet on the second Tuesday of each month. They also host Members of the Davie High Class of ‘58 at a recent reunion, from left: front - Alice Hendrix, Mary Nell Jones, Janie Spry, Becky Brown, Dianne Snipes, Alice Bar- nette, Linda Brown; row 2 - Carolyn Vickers, Nora Smith, Judy Collette, Velda My- ers, Jean Rothrock, Margaret Brock, Connie Brinkley, Jim Gregory; row 3 - Joe H.

Class of ‘58 enjoys regular meetings Big Boy, German John-son, grape, and cherry: home-grown tomatoes are a succulent bounty of steamy Carolina summers. And nobody knows toma-toes like James Cleo Jones. The longtime Mocksville resident tends a patio burst-ing with container-grown to-matoes at Lutheran Services Carolinas’ Trinity Glen, the Winston-Salem senior care community where he now lives.“It’s too hot right now and they’re getting blos-som-end rot,” he says. “With containers, you need to water two times a day.” Jones wa-ters his plants around 10:30 a.m. and checks them again in the late afternoon. “Watering at mid-day keeps them cool and alive in this heat, but it doesn’t really nourish them,” he said. For that, he relies on 10-10-10 fertilizer, followed by an in-fusion of Miracle-Gro two or three weeks later. James Cleo Jones waters his tomato plants at Trin- ity Glen senior care community in Winston-Salem. “I was raised not to waste my time,” he says. This is Jones’s first sum-mer growing tomatoes in pots, but he has decades of experience working the land. His family raised almost all their own food on their Cleveland, N.C. farm, in-cluding beef, hogs, chicken, rabbits, and vegetables. In 1966, after six years of military service, Jones moved to Mocksville and started work at Hoechst-Cel-anese in Salisbury. He took up home gardening a few years later. It proved a ful-filling pastime during his 30-plus-year career at the plant and as a self-employed landscaper. Only in 2010, after being hit by a car, did Jones stop gardening.“It was just me at home, so I went to the farmer’s market instead,” he said.Jones’s mobility declined further due to peripheral ar-tery disease, and he has used a wheelchair for the past sev-eral years. In 2017, his right leg was amputated below the knee. In late 2023 he moved to Trinity Glen, and early this year he lost his left leg. He seems remarkably sanguine under the circum-stances. “While I was in therapy here at Trinity Glen, I heard there was a garden. I as-sumed there was a team to do the gardening, but it turns out it was just me.” At first, Jones worried he wouldn’t be able to maneu-ver his wheelchair to reach the plants from every angle. But the circular pots provide easy access. “The container garden has been a godsend. He loves being outside with the plants,” says his grand-daughter ShaNicka Brown, Trinity Glen’s director of so-cial services. Jones hopes to be walking again with prosthetic legs by next summer. In the meantime, toma-toes of all shapes and sizes are ripening on the vine – “if I can get to them before the ‘hawks,’” Jones jokes, meaning his neighbors. Most of the harvest will go to Trinity Glen’s kitchen for all the residents to enjoy.“I’ll be happy if I can get one tomato sandwich,” Jones says. Duke’s is his mayon-naise of choice, but now that he’s watching his diet, mus-tard will do just fine.Lutheran Services Caroli-nas is a nonprofit health and human services organization providing skilled nursing care, rehabilitation, assisted living, adult day services, and retirement options to seniors in North Carolina; foster care, adoption, men-tal health services, refugee resettlement services, disas-ter response, and residential care for people with disabil-ities in both North Carolina and South Carolina; and recovery services in South Carolina.

There will be two walking choices to suit all participants personal fitness levels. “This change in format was made to encourage a more mission-focused ap-proach and also to encour-age community involve-ment,” said Angie Jordan. “Choosing the mission was intentional and personal this year because we have had so many in our congregation and in our community fall victim to this terrible disease. “Our community will be ‘United in Faith’ as we share in music, messages, a Walk to End Alzheimer’s fundrais-er and a hotdog lunch. “United in Faith” t-shirts will be sold and donations accepted, and all will have the opportunity to plant “flowers” for those who have been touched by the effects of Alzheimer’s, either as a patient or caregiver. There is no charge for the event and lunch will be free on Saturday. The guest speaker is the Rev. Dr. Arnetta Beverly, a retired elder in the Unit-ed Methodist Church from Lexington. Her faith story and how God called her to the ministry is enlightening, and her message of unity in Christ is inspiring, Jordan said.Her path into ministry was not straight. She has been a bank teller, a funeral director, and a police offi-cer, and she also served as a deputy with the Davidson County Sheriff’s Depart-ment. She earned a divinity degree from Duke Univer-sity and her doctorate from Drew University and was licensed as alocal pastor in 1986, working her way to an ordained elder in 1995. Beverly has served con-gregations in Piney Grove, Eden, Chapel Hill, Greens-boro and Lexington, and held district positions. She was the first woman to serve as pastor at several of her assignments. She was also the first African-Amer-ican woman to serve as di-rector of nurture and ethnic ministries, and to serve as a district superintendent in the Western North Carolina Conference, and to serve as a director of connectional ministries in the southeast-ern jurisdiction. She was also the first African-American elected to the Lexington City Council in 1987. All are invited on Friday, Aug. 16 at 6:30 p.m. with music and a message from Arnetta Beverly Beverly. On Saturday, Aug. 17, the gathering is at 10 a.m. for the walk at 10:30. After the walk, there will be music, food and guest speakers with information about caring for those with this disease.

Marjolene Ijames RoseBorn Dec. 6, 1959 in Mocksville to William Calvin Ijames and Vertie Mae Coulter Ijames, Marjolene Ijames Rose died on July 21, 2024.She was the last of three siblings. She attended Mocks-ville Elementary School, and graduated from Davie High School (1978). She worked as a dental assistant through high school and after gradua-tion earned a nursing degree from Forsyth Technical College (1985).Marjolene married Whaid Guscott Rose and joined him in pastoral ministry in New York City. She quickly adapted to the big city, where their children - Arvella Elizabeth and William Nathaniel Simpson (Nathan) were born.After returning to NC 1990 -1994 to lead the Newton Church, Marjolene and her husband answered a call to serve the church in Colora-do, where for a combined 23 years they served the local church and the General Conference of the Church of God (Seventh Day), US and Canada, with ministry to churches around the world. Her favorite niche was her children’s church ministry. Marjolene described her Colorado years as the most fulfilled and meaningful chapter of her life. She practiced hospital and school nursing, working for 11 years at a charter school in the Adams County Schools.Since returning to NC in 2017, Marjolene devoted her-self to caring for her parents, serving the church alongside her husband, and making her house a home to everyone, all the while relishing the sweetness of God’s Word through her passionate involvement with Bible Study Fellowship.Marjolene was incredibly talented. While most wide-ly-known for her angelic voice, she enjoyed playing the piano. She was a devoted teacher of the Word (particular-ly to children at church), and an avid gardener. Marjolene loved cooking, crocheting, sewing, cross-stitching, biking and almost anything that involved nature. Despite the pain and loss, we celebrate Marjolene’s life of 64+ years. She leaves behind a legacy of love, laughter, and a sweet spirit that drew everyone to her.Marjolene’s recent passing ended her 14-month battle with breast cancer. She was preceded in death by: her old-est brother (Jeffrey); her grandparents, (Ivan & Marjorie Ijames; a nephew (Matthew); and her father (Calvin). Marjolene is survived by: her husband of 38 years (Whaid), daughter (Arvella), and son (Nathan), whose wife (Monica) will soon give birth to Marjolene’s first grandchild. She also leaves behind her 89-year-old moth-er (Vertie Mae) who was precious to her; a brother, Steve (Rachel); parental in-laws (Esban & Mavis Rose); sister-in-law, Oveta (Oral); brother-in-law, Norval; nieces & nephews; and many other relatives.Marjolene passed from this life peacefully at Novant Medical Center in Huntersville just before sunset on Sun-day evening, July 21, surrounded by much outpouring of love and affection and a beautiful rainbow in the sky above the hospital! Marjolene was loved and appreciated by so many here and around the world, but Jesus loved her most, so He gave her a great big “rainbow smile” as she slipped into His presence where “… there is fullness of joy; at His right hand there are pleasures for evermore” (Psalm 16:11).[Lovingly submitted by her husband and children.]In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Artios Christian College through the Church of God Seventh Day at PO Box 33677, Denver, CO 80233; or to the American Cancer Society.A Celebration of Life Service was be held at Unity Presbyterian Church at 8210 Unity Church Road, Den-ver, NC 28037 on Thursday, Aug. 1at 2 p.m. A livestream recording of the service will be provided on the Newton Church of God Seventh Day YouTube Channel.James Funeral Home of Huntersville is serving the family.

The Davie County Tax Administration Department is engaged in the 2025 Gen-eral Reappraisal (revalua-tion) of property. This is the process of up-dating real property values to reflect current market value and will include the assess-ment of more than 25,000 properties. This will serve as a market value snapshot of real property (as of Jan. 1, 2025) and will include all vacant and improved land. It does not include personal property such as boats, air-planes, or vehicles.“Reappraisal is always a challenge. The goal is to appraise thousands of prop-erties all at one time, and in a way that is fair and equita-ble to all property owners,” said Jamon Gaddy, Davie County Tax Administrator. “We strive to follow estab-lished industry standards for mass appraisal; however, we recognize that there will be situations where the mass appraisal approach may pro-duce an estimate of value that seems somewhat high or low for an individual prop-erty."In an effort to help resi-dents better understand the process, the department has provided the following in-formation to this effort that occurs every four years. Property owners also re-ceived a copy of this infor-mation by mail in their most recent Davie County Tax Notice.Market value is the most probable price a property would bring in an open and competitive market.North Carolina law re-quires all counties to reap-praise real property at least once every eight years. Da-vie reappraises once every four years. The last reap-praisal took effect on Jan. 1, 2021. The next will become effective Jan. 1, 2025. Over time, property val-ues throughout the county change at different rates. For example, there might be a lot of growth in one area that causes market values to in-crease faster. Since property taxes are based on values, unequal changes in values mean some property owners pay relatively more, while others pay relatively less. The purpose of the reap-praisal is to make sure prop-erty values accurately reflect their market value, as the law requires, so that the property tax burden is spread equita- bly across all taxpayers.avie County shortened its reappraisal cycle from eight years to four. Eight-year cy-cles tend to create more op-portunities for inequities to grow and usually leads to much larger and unpredict-able changes to property val-ues. A shorter cycle reduces the chances of this happen-ing and helps make property taxes more equitable, pre-dictable, and manageable.To prepare for the reap-praisal, every recorded sale of property in the county is examined. Building cost data, income, and expense in-formation from income-pro-ducing properties are an-alyzed. These approaches help develop estimates of market value, using uniform standard. Market value is not determined by the tax office; it is determined by the actual activity in the local market. The tax office examines and analyzes market activity to develop formulas for pre-dicting the values of individ-ual properties.In preparation for the re-appraisal, every improved property in Davie will be reviewed through a combi-nation of computer-based and field reviews to ensure that the characteristics of that property are reflected accurately. Digital photo-graphs are being taken of all residential and commercial properties to ensure that all improvements can be com-pared consistently and uni-formly.The annual tax bill for each property is calculated by multiplying the tax val-ue by the tax rate, which is determined annually by county commissioners and city councils. Some bills go up, some go down, and some stay about the same.Written notice of the 2025 assessed value will be mailed to all property owners in late January to early February 2025.If you believe that the 2025 appraised value of your property is not a reasonable estimate of what it could have sold for on Jan. 1, 2025, you have the right to appeal. There are often issues other than tax value that concern property owners, such as: the amount of change from the last reappraisal; affordability of the expected taxes; level of services provided. While these are all un-derstandable concerns, the onlyissue the tax office can address is the appraised val-ue, Gaddy said.“Remember that the big question here is, what was the market value of your property on Jan. 1, 2025” Our oromise to tou: the tax office is here to serve you.“Reappraisal is always a challenge. The goal is to ap-praise thousands of proper-ties, all at one time, in a way that is equitable for all. We strive to follow established industry standards for mass appraisal. “However, we recognize that there will be situations where the mass appraisal approach may produce an estimate of value that seems somewhat high or low for an individual property.

Their bad luck hit Whit Mer-rifield shortly after he arrived in Atlanta. Merrifield signed with Atlanta and joined the Braves on July 22, 10 days after being released by Philadelphia. He was fielding grounders during batting practice before a home game when he took a shot off his right middle finger. At first, he didn’t think it was anything serious. Then he saw the blood and left to go get evaluated. The X-rays were negative, but for someone who was excited about the possibility of significant playing time and a fresh start after a rough stint with Philly, it was a huge letdown. Talk about more tough luck, it happened on his last grounder of the day. “Just a bad hop,” Merrifield said. He said the finger was “pretty gnarly.” “(It) shredded the skin un-derneath the nail. Got four stitches going through the nail into the finger and they glued my nail back down to my finger. Bone was popping out under the skin.”Since Merrifield can’t throw the ball with any zip or grip the bat properly, he will have to settle for a pinch-running role until the stitches are removed. “Can’t make it up,” manager Brian Snitker said. “This year is something else. It would’ve been a good opportunity for him to get in there today, but just went out and tried, and he can’t launch the ball very well.”A three-time All-Star with a career average of .281, Merrifield couldn’t get going in Philly, hitting .199 in 156 at-bats. “It was a new role for me and I just didn’t get off to a good start,” Merrifield said. “It felt like every time I got back in there, I was trying to go 4 for 4 with four homers to try to get back on track, and that’s not really a good way to approach (it) game in, game out. But yeah, I just couldn’t seem to get it going, for whatever reason. It just didn’t seem like it was meant to be. “The positives, for me, was that if you look at my speed numbers, strength numbers, those are all actually better than they have been in the past. So physically, I feel like I’m in a good spot - actually better than I have been in previous years. There’s just things baseball-wise that I need to iron out, and hopefully I can do that here.“I loved my time over there, I really did. Hey, it didn’t work out. It just didn’t seem like it was meant to be, but hopefully it’s meant for me Merrifield hurt in fielding practice Former all-star could be back on Braves lineup later this week By Brian PittsEnterprise Record When the N.C. State men’s bas-ketball team went on the how’d-that-happen run during March Madness, a Davie County guy was along for the ride. Jack Nixon, a 2021 Davie gradu-ate who made a name for himself in tennis when he was a War Eagle, is a rising senior at State and heading into his third year as a student man-ager for the Wolfpack. The idea came from another Da-vie County product - Gabe Gonnella, hours a day. They let us look at some film and chart things that they want charted, which is really cool. I enjoy that part of it.”What kind of behind-the-scenes work is there on game days? “We usually get there three hours before the game time,” he said. “We’re setting everything up, setting up the benches, setting up water, set-ting up the locker room. The players get there and we’re rebounding for them. In pregame warmups, we’re out there rebounding and getting them ready to go. After the game, it’s clean up, laundry and stuff like that.”During the 2023-24 season, Nix-on was seated behind the State bench for 39 of 41 games. “We’re fans,” he said. “We see these guys every day and we’re cheering for their success. Last year I went to all but two (road games). One time I was sick and didn’t go. We’re packing the buses, packing the plane and making sure the players have all their gear. We pick up food.”For most of the 2023-24 season, State was a dog that didn’t bark. The Wolfpack closed the regular season with four straight losses and seven defeats in nine games. They were 17-14, on the wrong side of the NCAA Tournament bubble and were hearing constant talk about Kevin Keatts’ future as coach. Then the Wolfpack did the un-thinkable. They won five games in five days and snatched an automatic NCAA bid. The 10th-seeded Wolf-pack beat Louisville (94-85) and Syracuse (83-65) in the first two rounds. In the quarterfinals, they ran into second-seeded Duke, which was ranked 11th in the country and had received a bye to the quarters. State won 74-69. In the semifinals against Virginia, the Wolfpack were down six with a minute left, but they rallied furiously and prevailed 73-65 in overtime. In the final seconds of regulation, A front row seat N.C. State manager from Davie remembers magical run By Brian PittsEnterprise Record A look back at Davie sports 50 years ago ... The 1974 Davie football season started about as poorly as possible, but the War Eagles would come back with a vengeance and enjoy some awesome moments in a 4-5-1 season. In the season-opening 21-0 loss at South Stokes, Davie was penal-ized for 100 yards, committed five turnovers and went 1 for 13 through the air. The defensive standout was middle guard Donnie Price. End Steve Hepler and tackle Greg Pul-liam recovered fumbles for Davie. 50 years ago: cross country team rules who graduated from Davie in 2016. “Gabe was at State, I followed his social media and saw what he was doing,” Nixon said. “I reached out to him and he put me in contact with the people I needed to talk to. It was something I always wanted to do be-cause I like being around basketball, especially college basketball. I saw what (Gonnella) was doing, getting to go to all these cool places.”Becoming a manager is not easy. Manager jobs are coveted gigs be-cause they have some serious ben-efits. Nixon tried out as a freshman but wasn’t selected. “I tried out, but they already had enough people,” he said. “My fresh-man year, State was really bad and the next summer we only had four or five people try out. But the year after we made the (NCAA) Tournament, we had a lot more, like 30-45 people tried out. The number is usually 10 (managers). This year we’ve had a ton of people try out because of our success last year.”Nixon tried out again as a soph-omore, and was picked. “The tryout is during the sum-mer, doing camps and working with kids,” he said. “If they like you, they bring you in for a workout. A college workout is different - it’s high paced and high energy. Some people can get overwhelmed.”The perks of being a manager are fabulous. It allows Nixon to be involved with an ACC athletic program. There are delicious meals. There are awesome travel experienc-es. He has the best seat in the house for every game. But being a manager is not all glitz and glamour. It’s a big-time commitment and a lot of work. They haul luggage onto planes and buses in the wee hours. The fill and refill coolers. They work camps in the summer. They sacrifice weekends and holiday trips in exchange for practices. “We do everything,” he said. “Some days I’m coming off screens and passing it. Some days I’m standing there with a towel. Some days we’re in the drills; some days we’re off to the side just watching. On an average day, the first half of a workout we assist in rebounding and passing, and then they start playing five-on-five and we’re just watching and making sure they get water and stuff like that.“It’s a lot of early mornings and late nights. I would have class in mornings from 8 or 9 until 1 or 2, and then practice starts at 3. Prac-tice is two or two and a half hours, and then I stay for an hour or hour and a half after. So it’s a good four Please See Nixon - Page B4Please See Merrifield - Page B3 The War Eagles responded with a 3-0-1 stretch, including a 6-6 tie with South Iredell. Davie got on the board first when quarterback Craig Michael tossed a 5-yard pass to Ron Anderson. South tied the score in the third quarter, and that’s how it ended. Michael piled up 176 passing yards on four electrifying com-pletion in Davie’s 20-10 win at North Stanly. Davie roared to a 20-0 halftime lead as Michael hit Ricky Maxey and Stan Riddle with 36- and 45-yard scoring passes, re-spectively. The defense was led by Stan Thorp, Price, Tim Grubb and Joe Woodward. A week later, the War Eagles suffocated West Iredell 20-0. (The game was held at North Iredell because West’s field wasn’t complet-ed.) The biggest offensive highlight was Anderson’s 80-yard run. West couldn’t do anything, getting one first down and finishing with mi-nus-37 rushing yards. Thorp took over in a 14-0 win against North Iredell, rushing for 136 yards. Anderson went for 73 before leaving with a shoulder in-jury. On the defensive side, Mark James picked off a pass and tackle John Snead and DBs Bobby Wall and Curtis Stiles made key plays. Homecoming against South Rowan did not go according to plan. Even though Davie was on a roll and South had a six-game losing streak dating to 1973, the Raiders stunned Please See 50 - Page B3 Jack Nixon was all smiles as he cut down a piece of the net after N.C.

Continued From Page B1to be a Brave.”Three days after signing a one-year contract, Merrifield made his Atlanta debut in a July 25 game at the New York Mets. With the score tied in the top of the ninth, Eddie Rosario walked and Merrifield entered as a pinch runner. A three-time stolen base champion in the Ameri-can League, he took off on the first pitch and swiped second. That made the 35-year-old 12 of 13 for the season in steals. Three pitches later, he broke for third. It was an Continued From Page B1 Davie 7-6. The War Eagles nearly stole it in the final minute. Anderson gave Davie life by blocking a punt. It took possession at the South 40 and Thorp threw deep to Mark Hendricks, a home-run ball that set up a crazy finish. Hendricks and two South defenders collided and the ball bounced off a defender’s shoulder pads. Wall alertly raced under the ball, snatched it and carried it to the South 5. Davie, though, could not get any closer and time ran out. It lost despite outgaining South 219-124 and holding the Raiders to one first down in the second half. Ronnie Shoaf of Cool-eemee got a hole in one on No. 13 at Twin Cedars. Paul Wagner, Wayne Wagner and David Jordan witnessed the 161-yard ace. The Davie Truckers men’s softball team was ridiculously good in its first year. It won a 32-team tournament at Smith Grove. Terry Johnson pitched a perfect game, which is unheard-of in slow-pitch softball, in a breezy 16-0 win over Fritts Motor of Win-ston-Salem. The champion- extremely close play, but Merrifield was called out. The Braves challenged. After a lengthy review, the umpire announced to the crowd that the call “stands.” The Braves would lose 3-2 in 10 innings. After signing with Atlanta, Merrifield joked around with the Phillies’ Kyle Schwarber, telling him on the phone that “they were screwed - in a polite way to say it,” he said. Merrifield can’t get on the field until the stitches are re-moved, and Snitker said that could happen around Aug. 1. Merrifield ... ship game was witnessed by approximately 1,000 people. How much did the Truck-ers terrorize opponents? It finished the 1974 season with a 98-28 record, it went 27-0 in the league at Smith Grove and it took first in five of 12 tournaments. The team members were Don Eaton, Johnson, Melvin Allred, Jack Tutterow, Preston Carpenter, Otis Ijames, Steve Black-welder, Dale Ijames, Paul Beaver, Randy McDaniel, Rick Allred, Tony Seaford, Marcus Wilson, Jim Wis-hon and Bill Summers. The coaches were Tom Whittaker and Louis “Rosie” Rothrock. “When we began the season, almost everyone labeled us as a bunch of hot-headed hot dogs and figured we would be broken up before season’s end,” Whittaker said. “But the men really organized them-selves into a fine ball-playing machine.” Davie’s cross country team was unstoppable, clos-ing the regular season with a 6-0 record. Mike Barnhardt, Barry McBride and Craig Williams tied for first with 15:22 times on Davie’s three-mile course. Kenny Blackwell was fifth at 15:33. A 21-0 halftime deficit was too much to overcome as Davie’s football team fell 21-12 to North Rowan. In the second half, the Cavaliers lost three fumbles and Davie came fighting back. With 4:09 remaining, Riddle blocked a punt and Wall scooped it up and raced 40 yards for a touchdown to cut the deficit to nine. Davie’s next game was a nightmare, a 63-0 loss to Mooresville that saw the War Eagles turn the ball over nine times. The cross country team was on another planet, claim-ing the Western North Caro-lina High School Activities Association title with 48 points. Freedom was a distant runner-up at 72. McBride was his usual self, finishing first at 14:48. Williams (fourth at 15:01), Barnhardt (eighth), Blackwell (13th) and Reggie Lyons (22nd) helped coach Burt Barger’s boys haul off the trophy. Davie’s football team lost in grueling fashion, 21-14, to North Davidson, with the Black Knights stopping Da-vie from the 2-yard line in the dying seconds. Davie had a 6-0 lead when Sid Short scampered 22 yards to paydirt. After North surged ahead, Davie tied it 14-14 on a 15-yard pass from Anderson to Maxey. Anderson did all he could with 145 rushing yards. After enduring four straight losses, Anderson ran for two TDs and the War Eagles had something to cel-ebrate in the final game, an 18-14 upset over East Rowan, which had already clinched first in the North Piedmont Conference. East could not get out of its own way, fum-bling the ball away five times and losing on a night when it gained 424 yards to Davie’s 159. The game’s biggest play: Hendricks tackled East’s Rick Vanhoy, ripped out the ball and ran 30 yards for a fumble-return TD that put Davie ahead 18-7. Davie’s defense made a huge stand in the final seconds, holding East out of the end zone after it had reached the Davie 3. The N.C. High School Athletic Association saw a 4.73 percent increase in par-ticipation during 2023-2024. Across all sports, 208,722 student athletes participated, up from 198,025 in 2022-202, based on information reported to the NCHSAA by member schools.

The largest increase was in Winter Spirit. There were 60 more reported teams in 2023-2024 leading to an increase of 1,628 athletes.Every sport, except for baseball, saw an increase. During the spring of 2024, 10,574 student athletes played baseball, down 153 (1.4 per-cent) from the previous year. Men’s Golf and Men’s Lacrosse saw increases of 7 percent and 6 percent, re- spectively. There were 436 mem-ber schools, up from 432 in 2022-2023, and 434 ofielded a Men’s Basketball team; 432 fielded a volleyball team. There were 383 football play-ing schools, with 29,075 stu-dent athletes on the gridiron last fall.

B4 - DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Aug. 1, 2024Davie American Little League Player Spotlights Darren Brooks of the Senior Orange was impressive in his pitching debut, striking out multiple batters in four in- nings and contributing to key defensive plays. He scored the tying run in the end, resulting in a 4-4 tie. Darren works hard and loves the game of baseball. Charlie Goodin of the Rockhounds is doing an amazing job as a first baseman in his first season of T-ball. He has picked up all the baseball skills quickly and is attentive and fast on the field. Along with being a great player, Charlie is very sweet and respectful. Bentley Logan of the coach pitch Iron Pigs has developed a love for baseball, and it showed in one victorious game. He is hitting so much harder this year and is staying focused. Bentley is going to do big things. Winston Willard of the T-ball Lug Nuts always hits the ball hard and is the first player to be at the ball on defense. Merrill Johnson of the coach pitch Griz- zlies may have a heart of gold, but his arm is made of fire. At third base, he’s had several games where his playmak- ing gives the Grizzlies a great chance of getting outs at first base. Silas Hayes of the Minor Blue Jays is on a roll with batting, fielding and pitching. He helped lead his team to victory when he got a home run in the last game. Silas is a real team player and gives his best when he steps onto the field. Kylan Foster of the Rockhounds is in his second season of T-ball and has improved his batting. He is attentive in the field, ready to go after the ball. He enjoys playing first base, keeps the crowd and his team entertained and is always trying his best. Charlestyn Lanning and Ella Corvin of the coach pitch Boss Babe’s made huge plays in the last game. Ella was playing left field when she cut off a ball hit in the gap and got the runner out at third. In the last inning with the game tied with 2 outs and bases loaded, Charlie got her biggest hit of the year to drive in a run. Both have been working hard. They are best frields on and off the field, cheering for each other. Nixon ... Houses, Decks, Driveways Gutter Cleaning, Roof Wash Continued From Page B1Virginia missed the front end of a one-and-one with a chance go up by four, and State’s Michael O’Connell rushed the ball up the left sideline and banked in a wild 3-pointer at the buzzer. In the championship game, the Wolfpack knocked off top-seeded and fourth-ranked North Carolina, 84-76, thanks to DJ Horne’s 29 points and 20 from the 6-9, 275-pound DJ Burns. It was a historic run - the second team to win any conference tournament as a double-digit seed and the first team to win the ACC Tournament with five wins in five days. It was State’s first ACC title since 1987. “It was funny. I will admit I ran out of clothes,” Nix-on said. “On the last day, I did not have enough clothes packed. It was amazing, sim-ple as that. It’s still kind of surreal to see pictures and think about that that really happened. When we went into the championship game, I don’t think anybody in our locker room was think-ing we’re going to have a hard time with them. It was: ‘We’re rolling right now. We all think we’re going to beat them.’”Keatts said: “Winning five games in five nights is a miracle.”Horne: “I can’t even put it into words right now. Just a week ago, it was looking like our season was about to be over, and here we are now, man, on top of the world.”The Wolfpack went danc-ing as a No. 11 seed. Some-how they were not hung over emotionally or physically, opening the NCAA Tourna-ment with an 80-67 win over Texas Tech. After picking up their first March Madness win in nine years, they beat Oakland 79-73 to advance to the Sweet 16 for the first time since 2015. Next was a 67-58 win over second-seeded Mar-quette, putting State in the Elite Eight for the first time since 1986. In the regional final, State took another bite out of Duke, 76-64. Burns put on a show (29 points on 13-of-19 shooting) as State reached the Final Four for the first time since Jim Valvano and the Cardiac Pack in 1983. One of Nixon’s coolest moments during the magic was meeting Bill Raftery, the famous color commentator. “That was before our game versus Duke in the Elite Eight,” Nixon said. “We were at our shootaround. The commentators come to the shootarounds, just to talk to the guys and get those stories for when they’re on TV. (Raf-tery) was just hanging around. I said: ‘That’s a legend. I’ve got to go get a picture and talk to him.’ He’s a really nice guy; he talked to me for a while. He knew where Mocksville was. He was one of the coolest people that I was able to meet.”A few days later, Nixon was in Glendale, Az., for the Final Four. The 7-foot-4 Zach Edey and Purdue stopped State’s epic run 63-50. “It was amazing,” Nixon said of the Final Four experi-ence. “The amount of people that were there was just unre-al. I can’t even describe how big it felt.”Now Nixon is a rising senior and heading into his third year as a manager. He’s working on a Psychology degree. “I think I might want to get into coaching or Sports Psychology,” said Nixon, who went 84-20 in singles and doubles as a Davie tennis player from 2018-21. “This why I wanted to work in basketball. My granddad is a State grad and had season tickets for my whole life growing up, so we would go to a lot of State games and I have been a fan for a while.” 1484 Hwy. 64 West, Mocksville, NC 336-751-3372 1328733 “Serving Davie County Since 1973” •Brakes • Tires • Batteries • Alignments • Scheduled Maintenance • Complete and Professional Auto Repair Jack Nixon standing with Bill Raftery (center).

DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Aug. 1, 2024 - B5 By Brian PittsEnterprise Record A look back at Davie sports 30 years ago ... The 1994 Davie base-ball team ripped off seven straight wins to take over first place in the Central Piedmont Conference. In an 8-3 win over North Davidson, the sixth inning began with a double by Neil Cornatzer and a Brack Beal walk. The next man was Brock Keene, who turned a 4-3 lead to 7-3 with one swing. He sent a drive to center field, the outfielder fell and Keene got an inside-the-park home run, capping a 3-for-4 day that also saw him run his pitching record to 5-1. It was sweet revenge for an earlier 12-0 loss to the Black Knights. In a 6-3 win over Reyn-olds, Davie did all its scor-ing in the first inning. The big blow was a three-run triple by Matt Sain, who barely missed a grand slam. That was plenty of support for Beal, who struck out 11. Davie’s winning streak ended when Mt. Tabor came to Rich Park. Jack Fowler blasted his third homer in a week as the War Eagles burst to a 5-1 lead. They led 7-3 after five, but Tabor poured across eight runs in the sixth, beat Davie 11-9 30 Years Ago: Cuthrell state runner-up in 100 meters ACROSS 1. Grooves to pop music 5.

Parker August 5, 2024 The (K) Clues Are for Kids It can be well-placed? 29-A) PAIL Previous riddle answer: and dropped the War Eagles into a three-way tie for first with North Davidson and Tabor. Davie girls soccer pulled out a tough 2-1 win in over-time against North David-son. With the score 1-1, coach Pete Gustafson sum-moned Melissa Wooldridge off the bench, a move that paid immediate dividends. Ten seconds later, Wool-dridge scored the game-win-ning goal. Melanie Stephens sent a cross toward the goal, and Wooldridge stepped in front of the goalie and put it home at the 99th minute. “The crowd went banan-as,” Gustafson said. Earlier, Carrie Brown gave Davie a 1-0 lead at 50 minutes off a throw-in from Cara Hansen. North tied it three minutes later. The teams would battle for 100 minutes. Matt Marion put a bow around his Pfeiffer base-ball career by authoring a 16-game hitting streak and making one error at first base in 1994. Despite suffer-ing a broken wrist late in the 1994 season, he hit .322 in Carolinas Conference play and finished with a career average of .301. Davie’s golf team shot a sizzling score in a match at Hickory Hill Country Club. Freshmen Sean Boyd and Chris Tomel carded 36s, while seniors Jason Tutte-row and Jackson Hendricks turned in 37s. As expected, Davie track star Hamilton Cuthrell cap-tured CPC titles in the 100 and 200 meters and won the league’s most valuable award for the second time. On the girls’ side, junior Maria Newsome took first in the shot put (33-0) and discus (102-11). In the CPC Tournament at Hickory Hill, Davie golf finished second and two strokes behind Mt. Tabor behind a 76 from Boyd, a 79 from Hendricks, an 80 from Tomel and an 85 from Chris Bigenho. In the individual race, Boyd placed second, just two shots back of South Rowan’s Fred Corriher. Davie girls soccer clinched its first ever state playoff berth by smacking South Rowan 6-0. Melissa Agrillo knocked in three goals, while Brown, Wool-dridge and Shannon Um-berger had one each. By finishing fourth in the CPC, Davie advanced to the post-season in its fourth year of existence. The Midwest Regional for golf was held at Oak Hills Country Club and the top four individuals not only a qualifying team punched tickets to the state tourna-ment. Davie’s extraordinary freshman, Boyd, needed a birdie on his last hole to force a playoff for the final spot - and he did just that to wrap up a 76 round. Boyd and two others went back to the first hole for the playoff. “It looked like a small ver-sion of the British Open,” coach Randall Ward said of the crowd that followed the three golfers. After his drive, Boyd was 110 yards from the green. He put a sand wedge within eight feet and sank the birdie putt to nail down fourth. Davie’s other golfers in the meet were Hendricks (83), Tomel (89), Tutterow (93) and Bigenho (93). In the Midwest Region-al for track, Cuthrell took second in the 100 and 200 and was a member of the 400 relay team that also fin-ished second. James Clem-ent (third in the long jump at 21-9.5), Cam Kofke (fourth in the pole vault at 11-0) and Chad Alexander (third in the 300 hurdles at 41 seconds) also qualified for the state by placing in the top four. After struggling in 1992 and 1993, South Davie base-ball made a run to the 1994 conference title. “We went from worst to first,” coach Grimes Parker said. “It was a pleasure to coach the type of kids I had.”In the semifinals, the third-seeded Tigers clipped No. 2 Kannapolis 2-0 be-hind stellar pitching from Scott Carter. But with the score 0-0 in the top of the fourth, Clark Williams stole the show as a pinch-hitter. Chuck Phelps’ single and Aaron Elwood’s double set the table for Williams, who came off the bench and plated both with a double off the fence. In the championship game, the Tigers erupted for 12 first-inning runs, held off Corriher-Lipe 16-12 and dumped the water cooler on Parker. Carter got the win, his eighth of the season, and Williams (.500) and Brian Campbell (.452) finished with the highest batting averages as South capped a 12-2 season. West Forsyth softball beat Davie twice in the reg-ular season, but the War Ea-gles were smiling ear to ear after the CPC Tournament semifinals at North David-son, where Davie defeated West 11-8. West jumped ahead 3-0 in the first inning, but Davie surged to a com-manding 10-3 lead and held on. Janis Barney launched a pair of home runs; Jonette Williard went 3 for 4; and Jenny Stewart, Tami Ram-sey and Elizabeth Greene had two hits apiece. “The only green I like is money,” coach Darrell Steele said. In the state tournament at Finley Golf Course in Chap-el Hill, Boyd just kept on keeping on, tying for 12th place. He was in seventh after posting a 73 on day one. He shot a 78 the next day. “We’re talking about a young man who won’t turn 15 until July,” Ward said. “He was definitely the youngest player in the tournament.”Man, what a runner Cu-threll was. In the state meet in Chapel Hill, the senior finished second in the 100 meters at 10.91 and placed seventh in the 200. “He’s the hardest-working athlete I’ve had in any sport,” coach Cary Powers said. On the girls’ side, junior Christina Cassidy finished fourth in the discus at 106-7. She was one of only three from the CPC to score points. The Davie football team’s season-opening 28-8 win at West Rowan was a testament to brilliant pass defense by a secondary of Josh Ward, Deryl Wilson, Mark Mason and Sain, who held West quarterback Tim Hogue to 10 of 40 passing. Cornatzer threw 20- and 46-yard touchdowns to Wilson and Ward, respectively, and Jonathan Vaughters ran for 93 yards on 12 carries. (336) 751-2304 MILLEREQUIPMENTRENTAL FALL IS COMING!

Neither the Trustee nor the holder of the indebtedness secured by the deed of trust, security agreement, or both, being foreclosed, nor their attorneys, repre- sentatives, employees, or agents make any representation or warranty relating to the title or any physical, health, en- vironmental, or safety condition relat- ing to the Property, and any liability or responsibility arising out of, or in any way relating to, any such condition is expressly disclaimed. If the highest bidder is anyone other than the holder of the secured indebtedness, in conjunction with tender of a deed by the Trustee such high bidder must pay, in addition to the bid price, the fees or taxes imposed by North Carolina Gener- al Statutes (“Gen. Stat.”) §§ 7A-308(a)(1) and 105-228.30, any deferred taxes, any back taxes as authorized by Gen. Stat. §161-31, and any other tax or fee based upon, or accruing due to, the sale of the Property, the value or sale price thereof, or the transfer of title thereto. The Trustee reserves the right to require of the successful bidder at such sale a deposit of 5% of the amount bid in the form of certified funds (as provided in the Deed of Trust or by law), or Seven Hundred Fifty Dollars ($750.00), which- ever is greater. The sale is subject to un- paid taxes, special assessments, restric- tions and easements of record, and prior liens, if any. The sale will be held open for upset bids pursuant to Gen. Stat. §45- 21.27. Thereafter, all remaining amounts are immediately due and owing and time is of the essence. Pursuant to Gen. Stat. §45-21.29, the Clerk of Superior Court of the county in which the Property is sold may issue an order for possession of the Property in favor of the purchaser and against anyone occupying or possessing the Property. If the Property is residential real prop- erty with less than 15 rental units, pur- suant to Gen. Stat. §45-21.16A(b), any person who occupies the Property pur- suant to a rental agreement entered into or renewed on or after October 1, 2007, may, after receiving the notice of sale, terminate the rental agreement upon 10 days’ written notice to the landlord. Upon termination of a rental agreement, the tenant is liable for rent due under the rental agreement prorated to the effec- tive date of the termination. If the Trustee is unable to convey title to the Property for any reason including without limitation, bankruptcy of the property owner or reinstatement of the secured indebtedness, the high bidder’s sole remedy is the return of the depos- it. If the sale’s validity is challenged by anyone, the trustee, in the trustee’s sole discretion, may request the court to de- clare the sale to be void and to return the deposit as the high bidder’s sole remedy against the Trustee and the holder of the secured indebtedness. Any announcement made at the sale supersede these sale terms to the extent allowed by law. Except as provided herein, this is an effort to collect a debt and any infor- mation obtained will be used for that purpose. However, if this Notice is received by someone who is under the protection of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court or who has received a discharge as a result of a bankruptcy proceeding, this Notice is given to comply with statutory notice requirements and for informational purposes and is not in- tended to attempt to collect, assess, or recover all or any portion of the debt from such person personally.

As photos show, the group worked on repairing damage to two homes. Part of the kitchen ceiling in one home had collapsed. They re-placed the ceiling with sheet-rock and finished the mud-ding and sanding. The other home had been damaged by fire. They laid new LVP floor-ing in the living room and cleaned other floors. Home-owners were pleased, and Clarksbury team members were blessed to share the love of Jesus Christ and to help others. Sue Jones and Dianne Owens have both improved and are recuperating at their homes. Terry Wayne Dyson and Caleb Williams continue medical treatments. Join us in prayer for the Lord's divine healing and blessings upon these residents and others who are having health prob-lems.Also, remember in prayer Jacob and Madison Queen; her grandfather Jimmy "Jim" Campbell died Sunday of last week at his home in Cleve- land after a lengthy illness.
