Pilot Mountain man marks 100th birthday

Nov. 1 was a big day for Spencer “Pa” Nelson. One of many days the centenarian has experienced. That’s because many friends and family members gathered that day to celebrate his 100th birthday. He was born on Nov. 1, 1926, in Pilot Mountain, to Peter and Daisy Nelson. In late December 1943, he enlisted in the United States Navy, where he served as a gunner’s mate until September 1948. After leaving the Navy, Nelson returned home to Pilot Mountain, where he met the love of his life, Helen Bateman. The two were married on April 28, 1949, beginning a marriage that would last just shy of 69 years. In 1950, Spencer began working for McLean Trucking Company. He remained with the company for more than 35 years, until it closed in January 1986. The couple became members of Brims Grove Baptist Church in 1969. His faith and church family have remained an important part of his life, and he continues to be a faithful member today, family members said. “Celebrating 100 years of Spencer’s life was a special occasion for his family and friends,” they said. “The Nelson family would like to thank everyone who joined them in celebrating this

“Most boring town” sounds pretty harsh once I start looking at what is actually around here. There is a lake nearby, quiet walking trails, and enough open countryside to make the whole place feel more peaceful than dull. That distinction matters to me. This small North Carolina community grew...

West Stokes' Morrison wins 4A boys cross country state title

KERNERSVILLE — West Stokes senior Bryan Morrison closed his high school career with an individual state championship Friday, winning the NCHSAA 4A boys race at Ivey Redmon Sports Complex in 15 minutes, 47.88 seconds. The championship by Morrison was the first in school history for a cross country runner. Morrison beat Wilkes Central’s Morgan Woodard (16:08.90) by about 21 seconds. West Iredell’s Bryant Moore was third in 16:20.84. The Wildcats’ boys team, one of the favorites for the team title, finished fourth with 106 points. Carrboro won with 90, one point ahead of Brevard (91). Wilkes Central took third with 104, two points ahead of West Stokes. First Flight was fifth with 107. “Crap, crap, crap. Wow, that about sums it up,” West Stokes coach Benji Knox said of his initial reaction. “The boys’ team was a bit disappointing just because illness and injuries led us to a fourth-place finish instead of winning. But those are life lessons.” Knox said Morrison’s win made up for some of that disappointment. “I was super proud of Bryan for finishing his senior season with a state championship,” Knox said. “He has really worked hard to improve and deserves being a state champion.” Isaiah
