Davie County Enterprise Record 5-08-2025USPS 149-160 Number 19 Thursday, May 8, 2025 20 Pages 75¢ State Champs Davie High FFA students score high 89076 3821260Page B6 Little Mermaid Stage production this weekendPage B7 When Chris and Tiffany Sea-ford dialed 911 just before mid-night on Nov. 1, 2024, they knew their second child wasn’t going to wait for the hospital. What they didn’t know was that on the other end of the line was someone who not only knew exactly what to do - but had been in their shoes not long ago.The Seafords, residents of Mocksville, were preparing for the arrival of their baby boy when Tiffany suddenly went into active labor. Realizing they weren’t going to make it to the hospital, Chris called 911 in a moment of urgency and hope.The call was answered by Ryan Hepler, a Davie Coun-ty 911 telecommunicator and a young father himself. Calm and composed, Hepler began guiding Chris through a sequence of steps to help deliver the baby safely.“Ryan’s voice was steady, clear, and gave me the confidence I didn’t know I had,” Chris said. “He talked me through every-thing - what to watch for, how to support Tiffany, how to care for the baby the moment he arrived. He was incredible.”From instructions on monitor-ing contractions to how to safely support the baby during deliv-ery and ensure the newborn was breathing, Hepler provided care from a distance. In what felt like an eternity and a flash, baby Levi entered the world healthy, crying, and into his parent's hands.First responders arrived just moments later, stepping into a home already filled with the first sounds of new life.During the nationally recog-nized Telecommunicators Week in April, the Seafords made a trip to the Davie County 911 Center to show their appreciation and let Telecommunicator Hepler and the rest of the 911 staff meet baby Levi. Nearly five months later, Levi is thriving and the Seafords re-main grateful for the voice that carried them through their most intense moment.“He was our calm in the storm,” Tiffany said. “We’ll nev-er forget what Ryan did for us that night.”For Hepler, it was just anoth-er shift, but one that he says will stay with him forever. “Helping bring a new life into the world, especially as a parent myself, was an experience I'll never forget,” he said. “It’s a re-minder of how powerful this job can be.” Ryan Hepler holds baby Levi Seaford. The Davie 911 tele- communicator guided parents Chris and Tiffany through an emergency at-home birth. ‘Calm in the storm’ 911 telecommunicator guides family through emergency at-home birth By Stephanie DeanFor the Enterprise Local music store proprietor, Kip Snow, has thrown body and soul into music. In doing so, he’s provided a foundation for many aspiring and budding musicians. But not just that – an addition to note is his big heart for people. You won’t talk long with Kip before hearing grateful ac-knowledgment for his blessings and pleasures of doing what he loves – while crediting God for it all. We’ve all heard words that what’s meant for us, will come to us, and there’s truth to that. But Kip understands these words on another level as music and song can be elusive. “If you don’t chase it, it will come to you.”And it certainly appears that much of what Kip has desired from life has found its way to him, but not without a few bumps along the way.Going back as far as he can remember, music has always been a part of Kip’s life. He can’t recall when he started as his only memories are of playing music. And from an early age – play, the boy did. His father was a bluegrass lover who attended fiddlers’ con-ventions long before his son was born. And then later, Kip hit the scene – born into music.Even though Kip’s been blessed in many ways, his heart wasn’t one that would never break. Like most folks, the man’s Musician Kip Snow and partner Vicki Berkeley op-erate Counter-point Studio in Downtown Mocksville.

Do like Davie: Choose unity over division Dr. Joel Edwards has lived an adventurous and fulfilling life.He still does.The good doctor has helped oth-ers in more ways than most could imagine: not only in his medical practice in Mocksville and beyond, but strangers around the world on mission trips too numerous to men-tion.Along the way, he’s had plenty of fun. A lot of it included exercise and adventure. He was a runner. He was a cyclist. He was a swimmer. He trained for a triathalon. Life was good.He’s hiked to the top of Mount Killimanjaro, for goodness sake.Despite living with MS, Joel Edwards still lives that life of ad-venture. A bit slower maybe, but he’s still getting out there.And you can help others who have the condition that affects the central nervous system this Satur-day, as Dr. Edwards hosts the Walk for A Cure for MS at The Park at Lake Louise, a children’s play-ground area and walking trail adja-cent of Colin Creek Golf Club off US 64 East, Mocksville.Donations will be accepted for MS research. It starts at 10 a.m.-noon, with Dr. Edwards and his wife Beth serving as hosts.MS, or multiple sclerosis, is a chronic condition that affects the central nervous system, including brain and spinal cord. Symptoms vary making early diagnosis diffi-cult. Dr. Edwards, who served pa-tients in Mocksville for decades, was first diagnosed with MS in 2012.Out on a walk with Beth, he could barely make it back from a quarter mile walk. He got the diag-nosis in a couple of weeks.He immediately sought treat-ment, including new medicines. It worked. He climbed Mount Killi-manjoro the following year.“Over the years, I have had some modest relapses and have seen a progression of my MS,” he said. “Today, I have significant dif-ficulties with fatigue and walking.”He uses a cane at most times, sometimes a wheelchair.“Nevertheless, I am one of the lucky ones with MS as we have been able to continue to travel the world as well as being active in our community.”His fundraising efforts for the National MS Society began soon after that first diagnosis. Progress in treatments helped him, and it can continue to help others.So get out there and walk on Saturday morning. Go at your own pace, heck, run if you want, but let’s show a cherished fellow resident of Davie County that we, too, care.- Mike Barnhardt To the editor:For generations, all of our stu-dents had attended the same high school in Mocksville. That school wasn’t just a building. It was a sym-bol of tradition, pride, and shared history. Families had built their lives around it for decades.But as the county grew, fami-lies in Bermuda Run and Advance were spending up to 45 minutes a day just getting their children to school. The building was aging. Classrooms had spilled into trail-ers. Parents on the Bermuda Run side wanted something better—a new high school closer to home.Mocksville families resisted. They didn’t oppose better educa-tion. But they feared what a new school would mean. Why should they pay higher taxes for a school they might not even benefit from? Worse, many worried that a new high school on the Bermuda Run side - a wealthy area known for private neighborhoods and gated streets - would create two unequal schools: newer facilities and more opportunities for the rich side of the county, while Mocksville’s stu-dents would be left behind.The debate dragged on for years. Every proposal to build a second high school failed at the ballot box. What had started as a question about schools became something deeper: a struggle over fairness, be-longing, and whether the county’s future would be shared or divided.Then, a new idea emerged.Instead of building two schools and deepening the divide, why not build one new high school - central-ly located - where all students could share in the future together?That idea passed. In the years that followed, stu-dents from every part of the county walked the same halls. Mocks-ville’s history remained honored. Bermuda Run’s needs were met. The War Eagles still took the field together. And Davie County stood stron-ger because it had chosen unity over division.That chapter in our county’s his-tory offers a valuable lesson for a conflict far beyond our borders: the long struggle between Israelis and Palestinians.Over the decades, leaders have proposed dividing the land into two states - one for Jewish Israe-lis, one for Palestinians. But ev-ery attempt at separation has only deepened mistrust and resentment. What many forget is that Israelis and Palestinians had once lived side by side in relative peace. Be-fore modern borders and wars, they had shared cities, markets, and neighborhoods. Their cultures had intertwined. Their futures had been linked.Palestinians, like the Mocksville families, had feared being excluded or displaced by new arrangements that ignored their rights and heri-tage. Jewish Israelis, like the Ber- muda Run families, sought securi-ty, opportunity, and a better future for their children.But drawing a line - two sep-arate futures - has not solved the problem. It has created two unequal systems and fueled conflict rather than ending it.Davie County’s experience shows there is another way. We un-derstood that division could create winners and losers. So we chose to build something shared.Consequently, the two-state solution, once a hopeful idea, is no longer realistic. What is need-ed now is what Davie County once needed: a shared solution. One state where everyone - Jews, Muslims, Christians, and others - can have equal rights and responsibilities. A future built not on separation, but on fairness and shared belonging.For generations, all of Davie’s students had shared one school and we found a way to keep sharing it. Likewise, for generations, Palestin-ians and Jewish communities had shared one land—Palestine. They can still find a way to share it again.Because if our small county could choose unity over division, perhaps the world can too.Avee McGuire, Advance The Perfect Picnic Spot, the Better MemoryBy Julie Terry CartnerAs usual, we carried our pic-nic lunch with us as we traveled through Ireland. Cheese, Irish, of course, Tuc’s Crackers, fruit, nuts, and maybe a digestive for dessert. And, also as usual, we searched for a scenic pull-off, somewhere we could continue to absorb the beauty and tranquility of Ireland.On that day, we settled for a pull-off by a stone bridge over a flowing river, on the side of a small but semi-busy road. Scenic, yes, but maybe not as tranquil as some. As we got out of the car, Danny spoke to a man, clearly taking his lunch break at the same place. “May we join you?” Apparently thinking we just wanted to take in the view, he was welcoming, but when he saw us pulling out our lunch, he was so much more. “There’s a nice beach about 15 minutes up the road if you’re looking for a lunch spot,” he told us. Thinking that sounded nice, we thanked him and got back in the car. While we were loading up, we didn’t realize that he, with his half-eaten sandwich, also got into his work van.He then proceeded to lead us down the road until we got near the beach. He pulled over to the side of the road and pointed down a small lane, clearly indicating the way. Fi-nally, with a cheery wave as a re-sponse to our heart-felt thank yous, he made a U-turn and headed back the way we had just come.I don’t know this man’s story. I have no idea if he had to drive all 15 kilometers back to where our guid-ed tour started, or whether he was turning off along the way. It doesn’t matter. This total stranger went out of his way to help some Americans, some complete strangers, find a lovely, quiet place where we could enjoy our lunch. I will never forget him or that moment in time.This, my friends, was the Amer-ica of my childhood, in my tiny hometown in New York. I bet it was your childhood too, with peo-ple going out of their way to help others, taking the extra time to be kind, doing what they were meant to do. What has happened? Where has this kind of generosity gone?I dream about moving to Ire- land. I love the beauty of this won-derful country, the history, the mu-sic and the art. But mostly. I love the people. The kindness exhibited to a couple of strangers went above and beyond by today’s standards, but I can remember more than one occasion when I saw my dad exhib-it that level of kindness to complete strangers. One time stands out. A young man asked Dad if he could camp overnight under our cher-ry tree. He was several legs into a quest to hike around the country. He wanted no help, no handouts. Dad offered a more substantial shelter, but the man declined. All he wanted was a safe place to lay his sleeping bag. Dad agreed, but in the morning, he brought the man a cup of hot coffee. “Surely, this won’t count as a hand-out, just a friend-ly gesture.” The men chatted while they sipped their cups, then, rolling up his sleeping bag and declining the offer of a hot shower, he head-ed down the road. I’ll never know if he accomplished his mission, but I do know he left my hometown feeling good about the kindness of a stranger, my dad. Our beach stop was lovely, in- deed. It was far more peaceful than leaning against a bridge on a well-traveled road. Instead, we found some rocks to sit on at Inch (meaning River Meadow) Beach, spread out our repast, and feasted in the sun, watching the waves roll in on turquoise water, listening to the calls of the gulls, and enjoying the antics of people taking a break from their busy days to play in the sand, splash along the coastline, and soak in some sunshine, as we did too. I even took a bit of time to take a brief swim, not being able to resist the appeal of those sea-green waves. I will probably always carry that memory with me, but greater still, I will carry that act of kind-ness, a gift with no expectation of repayment.

A historical marker identifies a Spainhour who served in the Revolutionary War. He was an ancestor of my mother’s Take steps to help fight MS To the editor:No longer is Mocksville the quiet little town that many of us grew up knowing. We have lost the charm and many times the feel-ing of safety that we have always known. We (meaning our County Plan-ning Board and County and Town Commissioners) are allowing an in-flux of new residents to move into Mocksville and Davie County. You see new homes being built in all di-rections. Are we improving the infra-structure to accommodate these people? Will we have new grocery stores popping up? My information is no, we will not. We already have limited choic-es when it comes to shopping for clothing and household items. If you can’t get it at Walmart or on Amazon, you are going to have to drive to another town. Consider the lost revenue when go to another town to shop. The homes being built off Coun-try Lane will cause heavier traffic in that area. It is unfair to the peo-ple who have built nice homes on Country Lane to dump all that traf-fic on their road. People already use Country Lane as a cut through from US 158 to US 601. Last, but certainly not least, can our school system keep up with the demand? Are we going need new elementary, middle and high schools? We cannot expect the cur-rent schools to just absorb the num-ber of children who will be moving into the area.More services will be required to take care of the growing popu-lation. Fire departments, possibly reinstating a police department, To the editor:As a senior Resident Registered Nurse Anesthetist at Wake Forest University School of Medicine, I am compelled to advocate for the passage of an APRN bill in North Carolina (House Bill 514 and Sen-ate Bill 537). This legislation is essential to improving our state’s health-care system by allowing Ad-vanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRNs) to practice to their full au-thority. APRNs include Nurse Prac-titioners, Midwives, Clinical Nurse Specialists, and Certified Regis-tered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs). Implementation of APRNs practic-ing to their full extent in our com-munity would enhance patient’s timely access to deserved care. schools, emergency services, the list goes on and on. These are all things that the taxpayer will be ex-pected to provide. We have a home-less population that cannot and should not be ignored. You can’t stop progress but you can plan for it. My fear is that we are facing an unknown. Shouldn’t the public be aware of the changes that are being made to our infrastructure and the time-line for these changes? Traffic is already a nightmare when you need to go 601 North to reach anything. Transparency is necessary when huge changes are being made to our way of life. Allow us the privilege of know-ing what we can expect. June Whitaker , Mocksville Unfettered growth changing Mocksville, Davie County Currently, there are tight re-strictions on APRN’s full authority practice despite the rigorous educa-tion and training. These restrictions prevent efficient healthcare deliv-ery and worsen provider shortages in communities where healthcare workforce is already scarce.Expanding APRNs practice would make North Carolina one of 27 other states that have embraced full practice authority for APRNs which would significantly improve healthcare accessibility and out-comes statewide.There have been well-doc-umented benefits arising from granting full practice authority to APRNs, CRNAs specifically. Re-search has shown that CRNAs pro-vide safe, high-quality anesthesia care in a cost-effective manner. There are many rural parts of North Carolina in which physician anes-thesiologists may not be available. In this setting, CRNAs serve as the sole anesthesia providers, ensuring that essential surgical and obstetric services remain operational. Cur-rent restrictions create a major bar-rier to patients receiving the care they deserve. The elimination of physician supervision would allow CRNAs to continue delivering care without bureaucratic limitations. Immediately, patients would benefit from the passing of the APRN bill through improved ac-cess to high-quality care and reduc-tions in healthcare costs.Emily WalkerAdvance Bill’s passage would improve healthcare See Renegade ‑ Page 7 DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, May 8, 2025 - 3Dateline BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT The BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT- An AFFORDABLE marketing choice!

He was just a little over a year old when his parents separated – only 13 months old when his mother left the family. Kip was raised by his father and had no recol-lection of what his mother looked like. Even though Kip was a small child, his daddy still carried the youngster along when attending the fiddler's conventions. “He’s told me stories of changing my diapers in the bathrooms while there.” As Kip grew older and entered the fifth grade, he began playing in his first working band, The Grey Fox Express. Along with being the only child in an otherwise all-adult band, the youngster was entering and winning music competitions. And then life took anoth-er turn. Kip had no sooner cele-brated his 18th birthday in November when his daddy died the following January. “That was probably the worst thing that’s ever hap-pened in my life.”Following his father’s passing, the young adult had no choice but to live life on his own. Without any paren-tal guidance, Kip was a child one day but then forced to be an adult, the next. “I didn’t get in any trou-ble, so it turned out ok.” Sometimes, what might appear as one of life’s adversities has a way of turning around – and there’s a blessing to be found.It was 26 years ago in the month of February when Kip opened Counterpoint Studio – at that time, a teaching studio. He gives credit to his former guitar teacher in Statesville, John Marler, who back in the 1990s, had given him the Kip ... idea of teaching. With no plans of owning a music store, Kip’s interest was mainly in teaching folks to play music. “I never had any plans on being a store – I just wanted to teach people. Music stores didn’t really care if people learned to play, as they just wanted to sell – it was a business.” Kip observed students who came into the studio with inferior instruments – often spending too much or buying an instrument they didn’t need. His vision of owning a store and selling instruments came about after seeing many children who wanted to learn to play music. He wanted to see children have good, afford-able instruments and an opportunity to succeed. “You’ll never see a Gib-son or Martin guitar in the store. I wanted to provide the best guitar for a strug-gling mother whose child wanted to learn – but at the same time, I also wanted an instrument that would hold its value along the way.” As far as what musical instruments Kip feels are easiest to learn – he suggest-ed a few important consid-erations. “None of them are easy or everyone would be doing it. It’s a matter of where your heart is. Don’t try to learn any other instrument – don’t start with one if you desire to play another. Follow your heart. My goal for all my students is to help them achieve their goals.” One of the most import-ant things is to know your goal. Some folks want to play in church, some want to sing around a campfire, and others want to sing in a band. So, it’s important to realize what your goal is. To those who want to learn to play an instrument, Kip emphasized having a good time. “You have to have fun. Look forward to it – don’t dread it. If it’s something you really want to do – you’ll make time for it.”As a musician playing up to 7 instruments due to necessity and through teaching and recording, Kip landed on guitar, mandolin, bass, and banjo and teaches all of these. “I’ve been told I’m profi-cient in them all.” Kip played a little bit of fiddle but discovered it wasn’t his thing. And early on, he worked some with drums. But when the economy crashed in 2008, his busi-ness model needed a change. Having had additional music teachers in the store, Kip began to work solo and settled into a new norm that felt good. “As I’ve gotten older, it’s less pressure to keep up with it and more fun. I’ve been a very blessed individual to do what I wanted to do, and I can honestly say, I look forward to every day.” There’s a thing or two that Kip has learned about bluegrass techniques – whether old grass or modern; With a background of playing bluegrass, ex-perienced musicians seem to move easily in different musical directions.“Take a grass guy and put him in a rock band – and he’ll shine. Teach them to be good musicians, and then they’ll play in any genre they want to.”His process for writing music has always been sim-ple. He doesn’t have one. “In my way of thinking – if you go chasing it, you will never catch it, but if you remain calm, it will come right to you.” Because Kip woke up so often during the night with words to a song on his mind, his fiance, Vicki, surprised him with a four-track re-corder that ran off batteries. “I’d wake up and go record in the middle of the night. Having never sat down and said to myself, ‘I’m going to write a song, today’ – I realized it has to come to me in stages, apparently.” It’s often been said that music should be a back-up career, but this music teacher never doubted his ability to earn a living in the business. “To be honest, I was working a full-time job when I started. I drove a truck and was off on Wednesdays and weekends. So on Wednesdays and Saturdays, my studio was open – but I was turning away so many. I decided to stop work and give it all to the business.”His first year in the business began in March of 1999, and he was working part-time. In May of that same year, he began work-ing full-time. And then, as more good things came his way – one day, Vicki walked in.On that fortuitous day, Sept. 30 of the same year, Vicki signed up for guitar lessons.“We celebrate that day to this day – we’ve been together, and she’s helped me ever since. I don’t want to say, ‘She’s working for me’ as that might get me in trouble. I guess I’d say she was a gift from God. We never fuss or argue. Vicky is my rock – I don’t know what I’d do without her.” The couple has raised their daughter, Anne, and now have three grandchil-dren – twin girls and a boy. Kip even wrote an instru-mental about his family called “We Seven.” And then life took anoth-er turn. There came a point in Kip’s life when he could never have anticipated the blessing he would receive. His mother, Jackie, reached out and contacted him. After so many years, Jackie and Kip were able to establish a relationship. Because she lived in central Florida, Kip rarely had opportunities to see her. But over time, their relationship would change.“I moved my mother in with us the last 5 years of her life – she was lost and forgetting where she was. So, I went and packed her up and moved her into our home. She took the master and we moved upstairs.“My dad raised me to tell the truth and treat others the way I want to be treated – and I’ve always kept that in mind. Love is the glue – if you love what you do and if you love others.” And that’s exactly what Kip attributes to their success. Having no plans to retire, he can’t imagine quitting something he loves doing. “My written instrumen-tals – I’d like to try to record them. My daughter wants me to get them recorded – especially her song, “Little Pun’kin.” I’ve had many students tell me they’d like to have my music. I have enough for a collection of 12 songs or so. It would be a download thing and project for later on.” In the future, he’s con-sidering going to a shorter week instead of the 5 days a week the store’s now open.“I look forward to con-tinuing to teach as long as God allows me to – I’m very healthy at this point.” Kip grew up as an only child – and his story touches on trials and tribulations along the way. And it’s our trials that bind us as humans. Everyone has their share of hardships – sooner or later. Having been carried through a few and now on the other side, Kip thanks God for all his blessings.“I’m a firm believer in God’s will be done – I’m nothing special but very blessed.” There’s a biblical passage that comes to mind here that’s found in Matthew 6:33 and reads, “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you.” (KJV) Truly, it seems the heart and soul of this good man is expressed in these few, sim-ple, but yet profound, words.“I hope my story will bless someone else along the way.” Vicki and Kip enjoy time with their twin granddaughters at the beach; and their family of seven, which inspired an original instrumental, “We Seven.” Kip and Vicki’s daughter, Anne, Vicki, Kip, and his mother, Jackie. 5230 US Hwy. 158, Advance, NC 27006 Store: (336) 998-3011 Cell: (336) 816-7335 www.koptersupply.net 5 YearAnniversary Celebration!

UPTO The Brands You Want DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, May 8, 2025 - 5 William Ellis Middle School's MathCounts team took first place in the recent regional MathCounts com-petition.Approximately 150 of the top middle school stu-dents from several counties in northwest North Carolina competed in the annual event at Wake Forest University.The team's performance qualified it for the state com-petition at the N.C. School of Science and Mathematics in Durham.William Ellis had 10 students. Aaron Clodfelter, Brayden Fuchs, Nirat Patel, and Ian Rareshide compet-ed as the school team and as individuals, while Anthony Acosta, Daniela George Pe-rez, William Hendrix, Alex Hirata, Lily Tronsen, and Will Weaver competed as in-dividuals.In the individual results, Clodfelter placed second, Rareshide third, and Patel fourth.The team, coached by William Ellis math teacher Steve Rareshide, began prac-ticing weekly after school in October, and several times weekly in January and Feb-ruary.MathCounts is a nation-al program designed to im-prove mathematical problem solving skills among middle school students, who are at a crucial stage in developing and sustaining math interest and ability.As one of the longest-run- William Ellis MathCounts members, from left: front - Will Weaver, Nirat Patel, Wil- liam Hendrix, Daniela George Perez; middle - Aaron Clodfelter, Anthony Acosta, Lily Tronsen; back - Alex Hirata, Brayden Fuchs, Ian Rareshide, Coach Steve Rareshide. ning STEM programs for middle school students in the nation, MathCounts en-courages student interest in mathematics through written and oral challenges. Topics include algebra, geometry, number theory, patterns, and probability.In North Carolina, Math-Counts is sponsored by the Professional Engineers of N.C., which organizes the event for public and pri-vate middle schools. The top teams from the regional events advance to the state competition, and the state winners participate in the na- tional finals.“This has been a wonder-ful group of kids to coach,” Rareshide said. “They work well together and were will-ing to practice hard for this event. We were able to de-feat archrival Hanes [Mag-net Middle School in Win-ston-Salem] for the second year in a row. They usually set the bar in our region.”A sample problem from the non-calculator round of this year's contest: “How many ordered triples of odd positive integers (a, b, c) are there for which a + b + c = 49 and a < b < c?” Answer: 44.

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the St. Christopher Truckers Relief Fund (truckersfund.org). Continued From Page 2parents, who were distant cousins, though they never knew. My grandfather was a Fulk, and the German spelling was Vol-ck. The first Volck settler's daughter married a Spainhour, and they raised 13 children in the cabin in King Park. My grand-mother was a Spainhour, whose ancestors were from Sweden.I was aware that the first Hoots ancestor in the US settled in Yadkin County, changed his name from the German Huth to Hoots, and served in the Revolutionary War. He was grant-ed over 700 acres in Yadkin for his service, and there are still descendants on this property.My grandmother Hoots was a Williams, her mother a Hutchens, who descended from Strangeman Hutchins of En-glish heritage. Most of his children spelled the name with an “i,” but his son John and a couple of others spelled Hutchens with an “e.” John served and was wounded in the Revolu-tionary War, and my grandmother is descended from this line. I traced the Williams line through Findagrave.com, back to Timothy Williams from England, simply by clicking on the father of each one back to Timothy.Documents referring to mandatory tithes imposed by the Church of England were cited as a reason for leaving England and for their avoidance of continuing to use the name Tim-othy for descendants.Several ancestors were Quakers, and Strangeman Hutchins, whose name was a family surname, freed his slaves because of his beliefs.My children’s family has deep roots. Some of the Potts family still live on land that was part of a land grant to Jer-imah Potts. George Washington Potts and his brother Ar-chibald married sisters by the name of Hilton, and most of the Potts families in Advance are descended from these families. They are buried at Advance United Methodist Church, and seven generations of my children’s family are buried there. Their grandmother Potts was a Foster, and the Fosters came from Rowan County before it was cut into smaller counties. A Brock married into this family, and the Fosters and Brocks have a rich history in Davie County.On my mother's side, her grandfather, Spainhour, was mar-ried to a Butner related to Adam Butner, whose house stands in Old Salem. His daughter married a Clemmons for whom Clemmons was named. A Stagecoach named Hattie Butner and Camp Butner were named after members of this family. The Hattie Butner can be viewed in Clemmons. I am descend-ed from Adam’s son Jacob, and Janine Vogler Roberts and Mondell Ellis are descended from Adam Butner Jr. PUZZLE NO. 289 PUZZLE NO. 291 PUZZLE NO. 290 PUZZLE NO. 292 ACROSS1.

I have not read all of it. A Fulk from my mother's side became King of Jerusalem by marriage. This was not a happy story as he tried to overrule his wife and exert control. He was originally from France.On my mother’s side, there is a story of a Poindexter be-lieved to have married an Indian for whom Donahoa was named, and the story was that his daughter left her husband, returned to the Cherokee nation, and was the mother of Ju-naluska. She could not be traced to the Cherokee and is possi-bly from another tribe. I was also told that I have Indian blood from the Plowmans on my grandfather Hoots' side, but I could not document this, and it did not show up when Faye and I had our DNA done by 23andMe. I thoroughly enjoy tracing my roots. Front Porch VisitsBy Marie Craig Come sit on my front porch and let’s have a chat. There’s something so special about sharing the beautiful day - beach clouds on a bright blue sky, wind blowing very lightly, trees swaying, feeling of being satisfied and safe. While others are getting sunburned and tired from sports and races, we can be present in the moment and savor the afternoon. Around the world, people are dodging bullets, putting out forest fires, and recovering from storms. We are so fortunate to have this peace and stability. Some people grumble about things as mundane as grass in the yard being an eighth inch too tall, but really, is that your highest concern? Did you hear that? It was a cardinal singing “wet, wet, wet” predicting that we might get some more rain. The little shower we had earlier was a nice surprise. Spring is here, and the pol-len is just about gone. It’s a necessary part of procreation, but hard on allergies and front porch cleanliness.Look at that teeny jet climbing in the sky. It’s hard to imag-ine that 200 or 300 people are in it so far away and going so fast. The cottonwood tree in front of us has grown leaves so quickly. I believe you could get close enough to watch them get bigger. Thanks for remembering that I wrote about that once. It’s a special, magic tree. How did it get here? There’s probably not another one within hundreds of miles. Soon, the dainty, tiny white fluffies will begin their airborne journey to try to replicate another tree. The ground will look like there was a snow shower.In front of it, seven years ago, that area was mowed. I’m glad they quit; now we have blackberry bushes with blooms, a honey locust tree with their huge thorns and grape-shaped leaves, and several redbud trees that were waiting patiently to spring to life. A few days ago, I saw a bunny rabbit hopping along that area. I think it was too small for the Easter Rabbit.I haven’t seen a hummingbird yet, but I’m sure I will soon. They know not to disappoint me. The irises have been spec-tacular this year.Daffodils, violets, pansies, and ornamental fruit trees are already through with their annual displays, but I sit here with gratitude in my heart for many wonderful things: a new great granddaughter, safe journeys for my big family, and a gorgeous springtime to share with friends.

I’m OK with that, but, you know we have an issue with affordable housing and this isn’t going to help.“I understand that the message from the county is to slow down building and make it more attrac-tive. I’m with that, but this is not going to help affordability at all.”Commissioner Brent Shoaf questioned motives of some of those in the affordable housing debate.“The point Mr. Renegar made is very valid. We’ve wrestled with the issue of affordable housing. It’s not something we take lightly. I feel as if the notion of afford-able housing is one that often gets thrown into the argument by the people who want to develop.”Higher density developments belong in the towns, not out in the county, Shoaf said.“We’re not trying to close the door, but a lot of the rhetoric that surrounds affordable housing is just rhetoric to open the door for future developing.” Lots ...

Last week the War Eagles did the same thing to Glenn. After slaugh-tering the Bobcats 13-3 and 12-1 in the final week of the regular season, Davie beat them for the third time in a week in the first round of the CPC Tournament on April 28. This time fourth-seeded Davie built a 6-0 lead before settling for a 6-3 home victory over No. 5 Glenn.Coy James set the tone in the first inning by smacking a double and scoring on an error. Davie took complete control in the third. Brandon Forrest singled, James was hit by a pitch and Hunter Potts was intentionally walked to load the bases. Forrest scored on Coston Colamarino’s flyout, and then Logan Allen made it 4-0 with a two-run single. Sophomore Colin Harrison stood tall on the mound, going six innings, holding Glenn to two runs and three hits and lifting his record to 5-1. Colamarino took over in the seventh and got the save. Colamarino and Forrest had two hits each as Davie extended their winning streak (seven) to the longest in six years. (The 2019 squad won nine straight.) While Colamarino laced two doubles, James doubled, walked and was beaned twice. Hunter Potts drew two walks and scored twice. Davie 3, West 2Top-seeded West Forsyth did not commit an error in the semifinals at Reagan on April 29. West junior pitcher Greyson Jones walked none and struck out 12 in a 90-pitch com-plete game. Somehow, some way, the War Eagles pulled out a dramatic win. “West is a very good team and they played real well,” coach Joey Anderson said. “They had their op- By Brian PittsEnterprise Record New Davie football coach Brian Hinson has been working diligently since February to reshape the War Eagles on the heels of their 3-7 sea-son in 2024, and he’s encouraged by what he’s seen in the weight room and at workouts. “I think it’s been going well,” he said. “I think the kids are starting to see change, some different expecta-tions, some different ways of doing things, and stuff like that. I think they are enjoying that. We’re about halfway through skill development. That is a prelude to our spring ball. The biggest thing we’re trying to do right now is install what we’re going to be doing offensively and defensively. That’s going to be a bunch of new terminology. That’s not just for the kids; that’s for the coaches as well. You’ve got coaches coming from different places. We’re trying to get everybody on the same page with that.”The War Eagles began spring practice May 6. They will practice 10 days over three weeks. “We’re trying to figure out where the kids can help us the most,” Hin-son said. “I want kids to play multi-ple sports. We’ve got some kids who are in track, baseball, lacrosse, and we’re still recruiting the hallways. I’ve talked to other coaches about the numbers that have been in the weight room. As a coach, you always want more. But when previous staff members are there and they’re excit-ed about the participation numbers and what’s going on, that makes you feel better.”When Hinson replaced Tim Devericks as head coach, one of the most important items on his long to-do list was to revamp the coaching staff. He has all but moved mountains to assemble six defensive assistants and three men on offense (four if you count Hinson). “I’ve got a couple I’m trying to add,” he said. “I could take one or two more and be done or I could be done now. We’re waiting on teaching positions within the school system. We’re in a good spot right now, but I’d like to add two more on offense.”On defense, there’s holdovers Terrell Wilson (DL), Randy Athey (DL), Todd Bumgarner (OLB) and Blaine Nicholson (DB). Mike Herndon, who coached here under Doug Illing from 1998-2011, is back at linebackers, as well as defensive coordinator. A Davie newcomer is Porter McCravion, who “played for me back in the day,” Hinson said. Jimmie Welch coached Davie’s offensive line for many years, and after taking a couple years off, he’s back in the trenches. Mike Lovelace is another familiar face who’s back. He was an assistant under Benjie Brown/Illing from 1996-2002, and he will coach receivers. The offense has two newcomers to Davie. One is quarterbacks coach Joe Burchette, who was a record-setting QB for Appalachian State from 1999-2002. Another is Mark Weycker, who guided West Iredell for 26 years (1987-2012). Hinson raved about the grizzly veteran. “Mark has coached with me in the past,” he said. “He’s probably forgotten more football than some of us have learned. His position has yet to be determined. He’s been kind of working with the (running) backs, but we may end up moving him around a little bit because he’s got a wealth of knowledge. He’s our Swiss Army knife on offense. He’s going to help us out quite a bit.”Due to realignment and the change from four classifications to eight, the schedule looks completely different. Davie will host its blood rival, West Forsyth, right off the bat. The Titans have won 26 of 42 meetings, including three straight, but the 43rd matchup will mark the first nonconference game between Davie and West since 1967. “They wanted to play us, and everybody wants to keep that tra-dition and keep that rivalry going,” Hinson said. In another home nonconference game, Davie will meet Pinecrest for the first time in its 70-year history. “I know coach (Nick) Eddins at Pinecrest,” Hinson said. “He used to be the head coach at West Montgom-ery back in the day, and Montgomery County is where I’m from. I got to know him in my recruiting ties with Catawba. He runs a great program. I figured it would be a good game for us.”Davie has two players who have received Division-I offers. Rising junior linebacker Elijah Chaffin has offers from Appalachian State and Marshall, and rising senior receiver Ethan Driver recently received his first offer from Gardner-Webb. “When colleges start coming in and they put eyes on Ethan to see the frame that he has, the height, there’s going to be more colleges coming through soon,” he said. “He ran in the 4.5s at a laser time. That’s pretty impressive at a laser time.” Williams, Sweet win CPC track titles Coach Hinson encouraged by Davie football spring workouts Davie upsets West in semis portunities. We just took advantage of ours and they didn’t.”Davie’s offense went down 1-2-3 in the top of the first. In the bottom half, the first two West batters reached base. But just when it looked as if West was going to hold the upper hand for the sixth meeting in a row, Davie leveled the ship and ultimately saw a reversal of fortunes. Davie starter Tucker Hobbs escaped the first unscathed by inducing an infield popup, a flyout to left and a strikeout looking. Davie never trailed, taking a 1-0 lead in the second when Allen singled to center on a fullcount pitch and Ty Sain followed with a double. Sain has emerged as a sophomore first baseman. He paid his dues by seeing just 13 plate appearances in the first 17 games. He got his first start April 9 and has been a regular in the lineup for the past nine games. “Ty had a huge hit,” Anderson said. “He got a hold of an inside fastball that the guy left belt high. It just kept carrying over the left fielder’s head. Ty’s done really well. He’s a bigger target (at first base) and he’s made some big plays for us. We started this winning streak when Ty started playing.”Davie pushed the lead to 2-0 in the third. After fouling off four pitches, James tripled to right-center. Two batters later, Hunter Potts drove him in with a single to center. Hobbs got out of a bases-loaded mess in the fourth, thanks to an unassisted double play by shortstop James. In the West fifth, the Titans scored on a bases-loaded walk, prompting Anderson to turn to his bullpen. Parker Davis answered the call, coaxing a comebacker for the third out on his third offering. “Tucker was going the third time through the lineup and they had had some good swings on him,” Anderson said. “I didn’t have a great feeling with the next guy and we had Parker ready, so we said: ‘Let’s go with Parker and give them a different look.’ And it worked out for us.”Davie picked up much-needed insurance in the top of the seventh. Hayden Potts doubled and advanced to third on a passed ball. Anderson made a move by summoning sopho-more Blake French as a pinch-hitter. French validated the decision by lifting a sac fly to center that gave Davie a 3-1 lead. “I just figured Blake gave me a better shot at hitting the ball deep, and that’s what he did,” he said. “He drove it to center field and drove it deep enough to score Hayden to give us a little cushion, and that ended up being the game-winner.”Davie held on by a thread in a tense bottom of the seventh. Davis gave up a walk and a single, but he punched out the next man looking. An error loaded the bases and a sac bunt cut Davie’s lead to one and put runners at second and third with two outs. But Davie’s arms were clutch all game and West bounced out to third baseman Hayden Potts to end the game. Hobbs threw 40 of 64 pitches for strikes to pick up his fifth win, tying Harrison for first in that category. Davis recorded the last seven outs in his 15th mound appearance (eight starts, seven relief outings). “Both of them threw excellent games,” Anderson said. “There were some pitches that looked like strike threes and I thought we had gotten out of certain situations and it didn’t go our way. But they didn’t let it get them down. They just kept coming back, refocused and went after the next guy. If we needed a ground ball, they got a ground ball. We played very well defensively.”Davie managed seven hits against the hard-throwing Jones, including two from Hayden Potts. James, Hunter Potts, Allen, Sain and Forrest all had one.

Tabor on April 29. Williams’ masterful throws overwhelmed the competition in two events. He slung the discus 158-1, compared to a 138-2 by the runner-up. He heaved the shot put 60-3 to beat the 51-9.5 from the second-place guy. “His consistency in the discus hasn’t been quite what we’d like for it to be, but he put together a good series and won rather easily,” coach Rob Raisbeck said. “Then in a shot put, he was on his game. He had a throw that we measured at 62-7, but he fouled. He’ll be the favorite in the shot in the state meet. There are a bunch of guys who have thrown further in the discus this year, but it just takes one.”Sweet made all-conference as a freshman by placing second in the pole vault at 11-6.

Tabor, 9-6, in Winston-Salem on April 30, and another gem from Kayden Richardson (seven goals) was the difference. The game was called at halftime by lightning. “They were trying to tri-ple-team the ball pretty much every time,” coach Haley Hines said. “Kayden’s quick and her being a lefty throws them off their game a little bit. So that always works in our favor.”Lila Moore and Lyndsay Davis had the other goals as the War Eagles moved to 8-7 overall after losing the previous two games. Madi-son Daugherty was the assist leader with two. Davis had one assist. “Madison playing basket-ball has really translated well to lacrosse,” Hines said of the sophomore. “We had her on defense, but we decided pret-ty early that she was going to be one of our midfielders. And she’s done really well there.”•••The last two games of the regular season went ac- Powers all‑area for 3rd time Davie’s Jackson Powers made the Winston-Salem Jour-nal’s all-area basketball team for the third time.

Davie’s first-round game was an easy victory over visit-ing Mt. Tabor. After mashing Tabor 17-2 and 18-2 in the regular season, third-seeded Davie brushed aside the No. 6 Spartans 13-3 on April 28. Raelyn Lankford (3 for 4, three RBIs, double, triple), Delaney Parsons (2-3) and Brianna Tolar (2-3, three runs) led the offensive charge in the four-and-a-half-inning game. Riley Potts pitched three scoreless innings before giving the ball to Raegan Davis, who worked the last two innings. Reagan 7, Davie 1Davie’s showing in the semifinals at East Forsyth on April 29 was a complete dud. The Raiders scored in five of their six at-bats. To make matters worse, Davie only managed four hits outside of J. Davis. Caycee Wilson, the soph-omore pitcher for the sec-ond-seeded Raiders, pitched another immaculate game against the War Eagles. She cuffed Davie in a 10-1 blow-out in the regular season, and she scattered eight hits, walked none and struck out 14 in this one. Lankford held up her end by going 2 for 3. D. Parsons and Landry Parsons went 1-3 and 1-2, respectively. Notes: Davie entered state playoffs with a 16-7 record. ... J. Davis is hitting a shiny .507 (34 for 64). ...

He’s an excellent teammate, and it showed when he hit his team’s first grand slam James Shrewsbury (minors) is play- ing chess while others are playing checkers. He laid down a perfect bunt that kicked foul at the last instant. With the defense worried about the short game, he blasted an inside-the-park home run in the left-center gap. Dakota Moreau and Zoey Powell (coach pitch) both got a hit and showed great hustle during the game. Connor Anderson (minors) picked up the win during his first start of the season on the hill, striking out three as he baffled hitters to secure the W and keep the momentum going. He also collected a hit and scored a run. Eric Campbell (machine pitch) led off with his first home run of the year and played a great game at first base. Carter Crawford (machine pitch) had a huge RBI single in the first inning that led to a confidence boost for the team. Carter is polite and a fantastic teammate with unbelievable sportsmanship. Jaxx Eaton had great hits, includ- ing a 2-out, bases-loaded shot that drove in two runs. He also made a great play at second base on a hard-hit ball to get the out Gunnar Campbell (minors) had an awesome hit, resulting in an in- side-the-park home run.

By Brian PittsEnterprise Record Davie’s tennis team ran into a well-oiled machine in the first round of the state playoffs, losing 6-0 at North-west Guilford on April 28. The War Eagles were the No. 23 seed in the West Re-gion. The 15th-seeded Vi-kings, who have outscored opponents 121-25, ran their record to 15-2. After finishing fourth in the CPC, Davie closed with an 8-8 record. Later in the week, Davie sent two doubles teams to the Midwest Regional. Senior Grayson Busse and freshman Chris Samet lost 6-2, 6-3 in the first round. Sophomore Brady Carter and freshman Riley Mallory was quick-ly eliminated 6-1, 6-0. The regional was held at UNC Greensboro on May 2. Although the four War Ea-gles didn’t have any answers in the regional tournament, coach Shane Nixon said it was utterly fulfilling and sat-isfying to watch them grow during the 2025 season. “I said it earlier, but one month ago, having two dou-bles teams in the regional was a joke,” he said. “Well, nobody was laughing today. Our teams played well and represented our school and county in a way that should make us all proud. “I am a firm believer that context is important in every-thing you do. The context here is that a senior, a sophomore and two freshmen were our Tennis season ends at regionals entries. They played against three seniors and a junior. If you just think about the difference between a young 15 year old and an older 18 year old, you see where I’m headed here. Physically we were outmatched. NWG is among the best teams in the state. Their No. 1 might be the best player in the state. My guys played hard, but we were simply overmatched. Our guys played really hard, and I am ever so proud of them.”Busse/Samet went 9-6 as doubles partners this season, while Carter/Mallory went 7-4. “Grayson was the leader on the trip,” Nixon said. “His maturity and focus helped these younger guys see this as a learning experience. Grayson played as well today as he has in his entire career. He will have a chance to play college tennis next year, if he wishes. What a good career at Davie.“I like to say of the soph-omore (Carter) that I never get cheated when he plays. I get all he’s got in the tank. He empties it every time we toss a ball up. As a coach, that is what you ask. Today was no exception. “Chris was the youngest guy on the court he played on by more than three years. It would be fair to call his match a boy among men. And yet he played in a fashion I’ve come to expect - unfazed. There are big things in store for Chris in our program. “The Lake Norman team Riley and Brady played were the No. 2 seed for a reason, but Riley didn’t back down. He played really well. His game is growing and growing and I can’t wait to see how he comes into the season next year.” Davie team members at the regional, from left: coach Shane Nixon, Brady Carter, Grayson Busse, Chris Samet, Riley Mallory and assistant coach Terri Eanes. B4 - DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, May 8, 2025 Continued From Page B1and took first place at 13-1. Sweet is talented enough to triumph on a so-so day. “He’s gone 15 feet in-doors,” Raisbeck said. “(13-1 is) an average performance for him, but he’s at the top of the heap statewide, so his average day is better than everybody else’s good day.”Senior David Patton, who finished second in the long jump with a personal record of 21-1, is making up for lost time. “As a freshman, he had lots of promise, but he com-pletely wrecked his knee, a bad ACL tear,” Raisbeck said. “He missed most of his sophomore and junior years. If it wasn’t for that football injury, he could have been a star on the track team. This was a PR by a foot. He still wears a knee brace, so he did all this with a knee brace. It’s the darndest thing you’ve ever seen.”Davie’s fourth all-CPC performer came from the girls’ side. Jamie Cornatzer has come out of nowhere as a senior, throwing the shot put a personal-record 35-7 and taking second. “That is a four-foot PR,” Raisbeck said. “The stars aligned.

He raced Saturday at Weddington at a big distance meet and ran 4.19 for 1600, which is really, re-ally good.

Davie’s eighth straight win lifted its record to 14-12. “Greyson threw a great game, but we got guys on base and got big hits,” Anderson said. “We kept putting the pressure on.”Reagan 9, Davie 0Davis raised his game to another level, but Davie had a meltdown in the bottom of the sixth and lost to a perennial power in the tournament final at Reagan on May 1. Davis held a 21-4 op-ponent to one run over five innings. The wheels finally came off in the sixth, when Reagan poured across eight runs. Davis limited the Raid-ers to one earned run over 5.2 innings in a courageous 101-pitch effort. “Parker had an excellent game,” Anderson said. “He gave up some hits (seven), but he always came back and got a ground ball or made a pitch that got him out of the Upsets ... inning.”No. 2 Reagan got on the board with a single and a triple in the first. In the sixth, the Raiders sent 11 batters to the plate and scored eight times on five hits, a walk, a hit batsman and a costly error. That’s how fast it can happen. “We played really well defensively until the sixth,” he said. Davie had a meager two hits against junior lefthander Asa Coplin, who covered seven innings in an econom-ical 81 pitches. For Davie’s offense, it was the same story as the two regular-season meetings, when Davie lost 1-0 and 8-0. Davie’s only chance was the second, when Allen sin-gled and Hayden Potts walked with one out. Davie’s only other hit came from Forrest. “(Coplin) was really good,” Anderson said. “I think we only touched second base once, maybe twice.”Notes: Reagan wound up with 10 hits against three Davie pitchers. ... The Raiders stretched their winning streak to 12 and beat Davie for the sixth straight time. ... Davie reached the tournament final for the first time in six years; it lost 6-5 to West in 2019. ...

By Mike BarnhardtEnterprise Record Chad Edwards didn’t re-ally like the stage production of “The Little Mermaid.”The musical theater teach-er at Davie High School, he liked the movie, but not the stage version.Until now.A group of 27 students changed his mind. They’ll be in the Davie High version May 8-10 at 7 p.m. and May 11 at 2 p.m. in the school’s auditorium. Tickets are $15 for adults, $10 for students, available at the door.“I was a fan of the movie, but not the show,” Edwards said. “They’ve made me re-ally like the show. They’ve been working really hard and are doing a great job.”It helps that the students are familiar with the story. The department was looking for a family-friendly show for this year’s musical.“We also looked at who had shown up in the class, and tried to highlight their talents. We also wanted to do something that was kid friendly but appealing to all ages,” he said.Based on one of Hans Christian Andersen’s most beloved stories and the clas-sic animated film, Disney’s The Little Mermaid is a love story for the ages. With mu-sic by eight-time Academy Award winner, Alan Menk-en, lyrics by Howard Ash-man and Glenn Slater and a book by Doug Wright, this fishy fable will capture your heart with its irresistible songs, including “Under the Sea,” “Kiss the Girl” and “Part of Your World,” Ed-wards said.Ariel, King Triton’s youngest daughter, wishes to pursue the human Prince Eric in the world above, bargaining with the evil sea witch, Ursula, to trade her tail for legs. But the bargain is not what it seems, and Ariel needs the help of her col-orful friends, Flounder the fish, Scuttle the seagull and Sebastian the crab to restore order under the sea.For the first time, this musical will feature a pit orchestra, conducted by the school’s band director, Mat-thew Brusseau. Brittany Darst is the musical director and Edwards is the director. Student Kimber Holston is the costume designer and lighting design by student Mackenzie Fulwood.“It makes me happy that the students have taken own-ership of this and they really want to do it,” he said.

The church is at 430 Eaton's Church Road, Mocksville. Bluegrass Church For the fourth year in a row, Wayne-Sanderson Farms has demonstrated its commitment to local educa-tion with a donation to the Davie Community Founda-tion.On April 23, Complex Manager Matthew Wooten and Mill Manager Crystal Parker presented a $4,000 check to the Davie County Training School – Central Davie Scholarship Fund committee. Of that, $1,000 will go to the Davie County Train-ing School - Central Davie Scholarship Fund, while the remaining $3,000 will bene-fit the Community Scholar-ship Fund. The donation will support students during the 2025–2026 academic year.The new Wayne-Sand-erson Farms feed mill com-pleted a $25 million renova-tion on East Depot Street in Mocksville and began pro-duction in October 2024. As part of its renovations, the company added on-site grain storage to reduce daily deliveries and minimize dust and wrapped the plant in a wrought iron fence. Additionally, it acquired and cleared debris from an adjacent property to enhance the facility’s appearance. Plans are to remove build-ings to increase parking ca-pacity as well. “I promised the mayor and the town that we would make it better and I believe we’ve kept that promise,” Wooten said. The plant brought 23 new job opportunities to the area and maintenance technicians are still needed. Interested applicants can visit wayne-sandersonfarms.com.The ongoing contribu-tions from Wayne-Sanderson Farms have helped expand educational opportunities and reduce financial barriers for Davie students pursuing higher education, said Melis-sa O’Connor, program offi-cer for the foundation. “The $3,000 donation to the Com-munity Scholarship Fund enabled us to award schol-arships to three additional highly-deserving students.” From left, Willie Studevent, Clyde Scott, Matthew Wooten, Joseph Johnson, Flor- ence Owens and Crystal Parker at the check presentation ceremony.Wayne Farms contributes $4,000 for scholarships DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD Thursday, May 8, 2025 ‑ B94B • THURSDAY, MAY 8, 2025 DAVIE CO.

By Brenda ThompsonSheffield-CalahalnCorrespondent This Sunday is Mother’s Day, a day to celebrate and honor our mothers. On this day, our thoughts naturally turn to all the wonderful and loving things our mothers have done for us throughout the years. We think of the sacrifices they made to feed us, clothe us, and educate us. We think of the unconditional love they shown us when we were being bratty little kids, and the patience and wor-ry they had for us when we were growing up. For some, we feel a sadness that our mothers are no longer with us, but we rejoice in knowing their memories and unending love are still with us every day. One of the best gifts a mother can receive is your unconditional love. Happy Mother’s Day.
