Winston-Salem OKs talks to begin

by GERRI HUNT

OAK RIDGE – After years of trials and errors in pursuing a munici-pal water supply for Oak Ridge residents, a solution may finally be headed down the pipeline.

Stokesdale Mayor Randy Braswell announced at the Nov. 12 Stokesdale Town Council meeting

that Winston-Salem, the Town’s water supplier, is receptive to the idea of Stokesdale selling water to Oak Ridge.

“Randy’s question of Winston-Salem came out of a conversation we had a couple of months ago,” said Oak Ridge Mayor Spencer Sullivan. “Winston had initially refused to commit to sell us water when we asked around 2005,

NEWS in brief

Two suspects arrested, one at largeSTOKESDALE – The Guilford County Sheriff’s Office continues to investigate last week’s break-in, during which a suspect shot at a Stokesdale woman who came home while the crime was underway.

At 12:40 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 11, the woman left home to pick up lunch in downtown Stokesdale. Arrivingback at her home on N.C. 68 only about six minutes later, she encoun-tered a light blue Nissan Sentra on her property, and confronted the driver from her SUV, according to Col. Randy Powers of the sheriff’s department.

As two more men came out of her house, “she tried to back up to give them room, and they fired a shot at her,” said Powers. “It was a grazing blow, with no penetration. The man in the car left by himself, and the other two fled on foot.”

Law enforcement officers descended upon the area by car, by foot, by plane and with dogs, as a manhunt ensued for three black men wearing hoodies. Of-ficers on foot followed one of the men to Barney Road, near McCrory Road off Stokesdale Street. The suspect, who hid in a thicket, was spotted from the airplane, and the officers on the ground caught 21-year-old Rasheem Jamal Wilds at 3:19 p.m.

your QUESTIONS

Our state spends a lot of money putting up highway signs telling us which river

basin we are in (i.e., Cape Fear). Just what are we supposed to do with this information and why is it important for us to know this on an individual basis?

Frank Park, chief plans exam-iner for Guilford County Watershed Protection/Storm

Management, says state-wide regulations require the signs be posted, with the goal being to educate the public about the locations of the basins and the impor-tance these areas play in our drinking water supply.

While the Cape Fear River Basin might seem quite a bit removed from our area, that’s not the case at all. Oak Ridge’s Haw River is a headwater, or origin, for the Cape Fear River. The Haw River converges with the Deep River before emptying into Jordan Lake, Cary’s major source of drinking water. This lake then empties into Cape Fear, which eventually meets the ocean in Wilmington.

Bottom line: our water source is far-reaching and that’s part of what these signs are seeking to promote.

“I think individuals need to be aware they are surrounded by water basins,

widening project.

“There will still be a noise wall along both sides of the entrance to Elmhurst Estates,” Lorenz confirmed. “The con-tractor still has some work to do in this area to get it ready for the wall, which should be one of the last things that is put up. I would expect to see this going up late next summer.”

and not just a lake or river, but a source of drinking water,” says Park. “We need to keep our water basin clean and not filled with (lit-ter). That’s important.”

It’s also important to remem-ber that fertilizers and animal waste runoff end up in these waters and stimulate algae growth and decrease the amount of oxy-gen; that can result in fish kills and the loss of aquatic species.

When the original plan to widen U.S. 220 through Summerfield was re-

vealed, it included a privacy/sound wall on both sides of the entrance to Elmhurst Estates. However, with the grading that is being done, it appears there will not be a wall built. Who made the change to the plans for the wall and were the property owners of Elmhurst Estates involved in the decision?

We posed your question to Kris Lorenz, DOT’s resident engineer on the U.S. 220

The other suspect on foot was not caught, but the car was found aban-doned in Kernersville within a few hours.

On Tuesday, Nov. 17, Stacy Isaiah Al-exander, 25, was arrested. Powers said he is believed to be the driver.

Wilds and Alexander, both of Winston-Salem, are each charged with attempted first degree murder, shoot-ing into an occupied vehicle, breaking

and entering, larceny after breaking and entering, and damage to property. Wilds is in the Guilford County Jail under a $500,000 bond and Alexander is in the Forsyth County Jail under a $600,000 bond.

Investigators are still looking for the third suspect, and had no additional information to release as of Wednesday morning, Nov. 18.

Summerfi eld Town Coun-cil

SUMMERFIELD town council

NOV. 10 / MEETING HIGHLIGHTSas reported by PATTI STOKES

In the absence of Mayor Tim Ses-soms, Mayor Pro Tem Dena Barnes presided over the meeting.

Following a prayer led by Linda Southard, the Pledge of Allegiance was said and council/staff introductions were made.

Town Manager Scott Whitaker an-nounced the annual Christmas Tree Lighting will be held Saturday, Nov. 21, at 5:30 p.m. at Summerfield Athletic Park; there will be music and light re-freshments. Summerfield Merchants Association, which is partnering with the Town to sponsor the event, will collect donations for the Backpack Buddy program; the program provides food-filled backpacks to food-insecure

children over weekends and holidays.

Gail Dunham said if the Town planned to spend $500,000 to pur-chase several more acres, the decision should first be put to a voter refer-endum and a master plan should be developed. She also questioned how much business the Town was conduct-ing behind closed doors and who else other than council members were privy to what was being discussed.

Additionally, Dunham said the Trails and Open Space Committee inter-viewed a consultant which the Town Council ultimately hired, and that gave the committee more power than it should have. Policy revisions should also be publicly discussed and discussed at

length before finalizing them, Dunham said.

Dwayne Crawford, chair of the town’s Public Safety Committee, said he was one step closer to getting a permit to place grass carp in the lake at Polo Farms to alleviate the algae problem. Assuming a permit is issued, Crawford said he would accept donations to pur-chase the carp – the fish are $11 each, and it takes about 11 to 15 fish per acre; the lake at Polo Farms is approxi-mately 3.5 acres.

Council member Alicia Flowers asked if the Public Safety Commit-tee was investigating similar issues at other water points within the town, and Crawford said the committee did not have a quorum at its last meeting so no decisions could be made, but it will be discussed.

It being the eve of Veterans Day, Adrian Williamson said we should all remember our veterans, who have made it possible to do things such as

freely hold public meetings and enjoy our lives; he then praised Congressman Howard Coble, who passed away on Nov. 3.

Williamson, who ran for Town Council but was not elected, went on to congratulate those candidates who were elected and said he hoped they could all “carry on” like they had on and before Election Day when they had laughed together and shared memories of old times.

Thanks were also offered to those who had worked hard to get Williamson elected and to those who voted for him; to council member Alicia Flowers for her eight years of service (“We are going to lose a real servant,” Williamson said of Flowers); to council member Elizabeth McClellan for her four years of service; and to Mayor Tim “Brother” Sessoms for his two years of service as the town’s mayor.

“I guess I carried on more junk with him (Sessoms) than anybody,” William-








son said. “We had a real good time talking and I appreciated that if I came in late (to a council meeting), he would always look out and ask if I wanted to make a talk. He handled the meetings very well and kept you (council mem-bers) all on track.”

COMMITTEE REPORTSFinance. Finance Officer Katrina Whitt said the 2014-2015 audit report will be presented at next month’s council meeting.

Historical. Chair Linda Southard said the committee is looking for new members. They are also continuing to interview veterans, with the priority on World War II veterans. The interviews will be on display at Town Hall.

“It will bring tears to your eyes when you hear their experiences,” Southard said.

Public Safety. Crawford said the com-mittee would meet Nov. 18.

Trails and Open Space. Chair Jane Doggett said the committee continues to assess open space and trails; they will meet again on Nov. 30, 6 p.m. at Town Hall.

BUSINESS FROM TOWN MANAGER

Whitaker shared that Rich Schlobohm, the new part-time seasonal Parks & Rec employee, has been a Summerfield resident for 26 years, his children participated in Summerfield Recreation Association programs, and he is retired

as a captain with the Greensboro Fire Department.

Flowers asked if Schlobohm would be lining the fields and Whitaker said yes, he had been trained and was al-ready doing that job.

Multi-jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan. John Kemp with Guilford County Emergency Management said the final draft of this plan was recently approved by FEMA and to be eligible for disas-ter relief, the county and incorporated towns must also approve it.

The goal of the plan, Kemp ex-plained, is to make communities less susceptible to hazards and to identify ways to make them safer – such as not building in flood plains, creating public awareness programs and strengthen-ing or protecting buildings and infra-structure from the destructive forces of potential hazards.

The final plan will be posted on www.readyguilford.org.

5 0 to adopt and endorse the mitigation plan, as approved by the North Carolina Division of Emergency Management and FEMA.

Mini-Brooks Act. Whitaker explained there is a general statute (Mini-Brooks Act) that says engineering, architec-tural, construction management at-risk services and design-build services require municipalities to identify the most qualified contractor upfront, and then negotiate a price. If the estimated professional fees are less than $50,000,

however, they can be exempted in writ-ing.

As town manager, Whitaker’s ap-proval authority is for amounts up to $10,000, so he suggested that figure be used.

5 0 to approve an exemption from the Mini-Brooks Act, with exemp-tions for design services not exceeding $10,000.

Whitaker said minor updates had been made to the sound system used at council meetings, and the town has changed the contractor/vendor for the generator maintenance.

Veterans Day Proclamation. McClellan read a proclamation which urged all citizens to honor veterans on Veterans Day, Nov. 11, and urged veterans to wear their medals on Veterans Day so that all North Carolinians would have the opportunity to express appreciation for their service.

COUNCIL BUSINESSFlowers asked Whitaker about the

status of the gate in the community park and he said they are awaiting the end of ball season, because it is going to take more than one Parks & Recreation employee to do the work.

CLOSED SESSIONCouncil entered into a closed ses-

sion from 7:08 to 7:40 p.m. to discuss a property purchase.

5 0 After reconvening, the council voted to purchase the Martin house property, which is owned by Sum-merfield resident Linda Southard and located directly across from Town Hall, for $95,000. The purchase is contingent upon the town’s commitment to pre-serving the original part of the historic house, and the town acquiring water from a well on its property across the street.

The meeting adjourned at 7:42 p.m.

Red, White & Blue ThankYou celebration, Nov. 12

The Summerfield Elementary PTA honored vet-erans, active military members and military families with a Red, White & Blue Thank-You celebration. Beginning in October, photographs were collected for a Wall of Honor that is proudly displayed in the school’s main entrance hallway.

“Photos of mothers, fathers, grandfathers, great-grandfathers, brothers, sons and uncles of our students and staff are highlighted – even a former Summerfield student’s picture is dis-played!” said Summerfield Elementary Principal Jill Walsh. “The Wall of Honor is a moving tribute and reminder of the sacrifices our loved ones have made for our freedom – students and teachers proudly share their pictures with each other as they pass it each day.

About 50 veterans and military family members attended the celebration. Fifth graders sang several patriotic songs, and students had the honor to introduce their hero to the group. Afterwards, light refreshments were served.

“It was an honor to celebrate our American heroes who sacrificed and served our country,” Walsh said.

Army, recalled two students from Northwest High School who were killed in Vietnam, Bruce Westmoreland of Colfax and James “TC” Crosby of Summerfield. Twenty-year-old Westmo-reland was one of four crew members killed in a helicopter crash on June 24, 1969. But it was Crosby’s death and the unknowns surrounding it that have haunted Dowdy.

Crosby and Dowdy met in home-room as NWHS sophomores in 1965, when mandatory racial segregation occurred in Guilford County Schools. Crosby was one of three black students who sat near Dowdy that year, and the pair formed a close bond because they shared many classes, including chorus.

Crosby’s death four years later in Binh Duong, South Vietnam, was at-tributed to small arms fire or a gre-

nade. For decades Dowdy sought more details.

“In 2008, I came across a website, Army.TogetherWeServed.com. I left a brief tribute to James and an email ad-dress,” said Dowdy. “I never expected to hear a thing. And I didn’t, until four weeks ago, on Oct. 14.”

That’s when Dowdy received an email with Crosby’s name in the sub-ject line. The sender was brief and to the point, explaining he was a former comrade of Crosby, and for Dowdy to contact him if interested in more information. Dowdy responded imme-diately.

“It resulted in more information than I could possibly process,” he said of his ensuing correspondence with Albert Alvarez of New Orleans, whose story Dowdy then shared.

PFC Crosby had arrived in Vietnam a week after Alvarez. They became fast friends, and soon became members of patrols that were on search on destroy

missions. Their battalion command-ing officer stated that “the last half of 1969 was characterized by extensive ambushing.”

Sometimes Crosby and Alvarez would go on brief patrols around the compound and neighborhoods to check for enemy activity. Other times they would be out for days at a time. But they rarely encountered hostile fire. In fact, out of boredom, sometimes the platoons would simply fire off rounds to break the monotony, said Dowdy.

“But in the early morning hours of Sept. 24, 1969, things would be differ-ent. Both TC and Albert were serving as point men, the most hazardous points of patrol for their respective squads,” said Dowdy. “Generally, it would be the newest and least experi-enced soldiers in the squad who would serve as the point. The man at the point… was the first to see and be seen by the enemy.”

The patrol, consisting of two squads of seven or eight men each, was com-missioned to ‘recon’ a portion of the Michelin plantation, a 31,000-acre rub-ber tree plantation 45 miles northwest of Saigon – and a major staging area for the Viet Cong.

“Some of the [squad members] were still downing their C-rations for breakfast when TC’s squad was com-missioned to lead the way in. With TC at point, the squad made their way through the head-high grass to the perimeter of the plantation. Visibility

would be extremely limited once they stepped inside the massive grove of trees,” said Dowdy. “The squad hadn’t gotten in very far, only 20 to 25 feet, when a short barrage of fire broke out. And then there was silence.

“The Viet Cong had been dug in, watching, waiting and ready. TC’s squad leader called for Albert’s squad to come provide assistance,” said Dowdy. “The soldier directly behind TC who had seen him go down called for Albert, [who] made his way to the front, crawling, and found TC dead, appar-ently killed instantly.”

When it was safe, Alvarez and other soldiers carried TC back to their com-pound. He was two months shy of his 20th birthday, and left behind his wife Florence and their 7-month-old son, Keith. TC had only been in Vietnam for two months and six days and in the Army for seven months and 13 days.

Alvarez was back on patrol within a few days. Six weeks later he sustained two gunshot wounds and was hospital-ized for nearly a month.

“[Stories like this] are held in the chest of the military who have given their most to make this the land of the free, home of the brave,” Dowdy told the crowd. “Many stories are untold. Others are constant reruns in the the-ater of their minds. As Albert shared his story, it was not like telling an event; it was as fresh as yesterday morning. He is one for whom the guns of war have never fallen silent.”

stating they wanted to serve all their customers in Forsyth County before they sold any water outside the county. The only reason they sold it to Stokesdale is because the federal government asked them to [because of water contamina-tion]. Randy was going to talk to them anyway, so he said he would ask again. It looks like they changed their mind.”

Braswell said he was in talks with the Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Utilities Division regarding a 2030 expiration date on Stokesdale’s water contract. A new con-

tract is expected to be signed in the spring, reflecting perpetuity. While he was at it, he asked about neighboring Oak Ridge.

“Our water line goes all the way to the Food Lion Shopping Center [Kings Cross-ing], which as the crow flies through the woods is about a mile (to the Oak Ridge Fire Department, where a water tower would be located),” said Braswell.

Sullivan agreed that (Kings Crossing) would be a potential connection site, and that one phase of Oak Ridge’s plan from the past envisioned a loop from Kings Crossing, down N.C. 68 to Linville Road and Haw River Road.

Municipal water has been on the minds of Oak Ridge leaders almost

since the Town was incorporated in 1998. In 2001-02, engineering firms es-timated the cost at $6.6 to $7.9 million, plus $2 million for Rockingham County to provide surface water and connec-tions to its system.

By 2004, however, Aqua North Carolina approached Oak Ridge about installing and operating the Town’s mu-nicipal water system, and signed a con-tract the next year. But Aqua reneged in 2007 when a new company president announced the new estimated $33 mil-lion cost was not financially feasible.

“We initially contacted Rockingham County in 2004 and they were ready and willing to be our water source. Winston-Salem and Greensboro were out,” said Sullivan, who has served on the Oak Ridge Water Committee for the last several years. “Earlier this year, they confirmed that commitment.”

In 2009, the Town had an engineer draw up plans for the first phase of a water system, including running the main line down N.C. 68 and erecting a water tower behind the fire station on Linville Road. They sought federal stimulus money, but missed the deadline to apply. As it turned out, the stimulus money was not available for infrastruc-ture anyway. But at least the Town now had plans in hand.

“The issue has been dormant until recently,” said Sullivan. “Last year, I had the thought that we could begin our system with community well sys-tems serving the new subdivisions being developed.”

Oak Ridge passed an ordinance last March which puts it in “ready position” to establish a water department and a water system, and is in the process of drafting an ordinance to define the scope and operation of the system.

“Going forward, the Town will own and operate the new community well systems,” said Sullivan. The ordinance will include pipe specifications so de-velopers will build future well systems

to municipal standards, and will outline the procedure by which the Town will acquire the systems.

“Then it will be a simple matter of connecting the pipes to the municipal water system [when it’s available],” he said. “We anticipate having our first (community well) system in operation sometime next year.”

As for the community wells already installed by Aqua, Sullivan said that company is not interested in selling the systems to the Town – nor would it be beneficial for the Town to purchase them.

“Those systems, in terms of existing piping, would not be adequate for the volume and pressure needed to connect to the municipal system anyway,” he noted.

Sullivan said a municipal system would likely be built in about five phases, “over a significant period of time – like 10 or 20 years – depending on how we can pay for it, more than anything else. This is just the beginning of the process, and there are lots of factors to consider along the way.”

Braswell agreed, and added that a key factor in the equation is how many gallons of water per day Oak Ridge would need. Stokesdale’s contract with Winston-Salem limits the Town to pur-chasing 300,000 gallons per day – a far cry from the 95,000 gallons per day that Stokesdale is currently using, although new developments such as Northwest Meadows on Eversfield Road will con-nect to the system. The North Carolina Department of Environment and Natu-ral Resources’ formula is 400 gallons per day per household, said Braswell.

“A lot depends on what Oak Ridge needs and if Stokesdale can supply those needs… at least we can begin those conversations now,” Braswell said. “Regardless of the outcome, whether they buy it or not, it moves Oak Ridge a step further with another option.”

Putting you first

Welcome Home!

Where prospective buyers get their fi rst impression

by MARIA ADAMS, interior designer

It’s been proven that a beautifully staged home will attract more buyers and help you sell your house faster. When the market is sluggish, you want to put your best foot forward to attract the right buyer. When the market is hot, you want to put your best foot forward to win over the other houses on the market.

Below are five key rooms to stage when putting your house on the real estate market.

Front Porch

Foyer

Family Room

Kitchen

Master Bedroom/Bath

In this issue, we’ll talk about the front porch, where prospective buyers get their first impression of your home. The front porch says a lot about the house and the people that once dwelled in it. If it’s well kept, nicely decorated and has a welcom-ing feeling, buyers will perceive that the rest of the house is the same. Here are four quick tips to make your front porch as irresistible as the rest of the house.

Repair and repaint. Thoroughly check your brick, stone, wood, glass, etc., and repair anything that is not completely up to par. Give the door, wood posts and siding a new coat of paint if it’s peel-ing or cracking. Check your door bell to make sure the button is not broken and that it works properly (you’d be surprised how many houses I visit that have broken door bell buttons).

Live, colorful plants, fresh paint and chairs or benches are inexpensive ways to add welcoming touches to your home’s front porch.

Light and numbers. Change out the exterior light fixture if it’s older than five years. A brand-new light fixture will make it seem that interior fixtures are new too. Update the house numbers so they are clearly visible.

Furnishings and accessories. If you have room on the porch, add a bench or small chair. Place a decorative pillow on the bench/chair and put an attractive welcome mat at the front door. If there is wall space, hang outdoor metal artwork.

Plants that pop. Potted plants are a must! Flowers and greenery always make people smile. Use plants that will keep for many months with minimal upkeep. For the best results, use evergreens with seasonal annuals.

In future issues we will discuss the best way to stage your foyer. For past and present staging articles, visit Maria’s blog at www.mariaadamsdesigns.com/blog.

Staging the front porch

Specializing in on-time, stress-free closings

When you step through the doors of McLean Mortgage Corporation, located on Green Valley Road in Greensboro, you may notice a calmness that perme-ates both the office and the staff. This isn’t just the ambiance, however. It’s indicative of the company’s tagline “Relax, We’ve Got You Covered,” and is at the foundation of how the company does business.

David Nishan, a certified mortgage banking specialist and office manager, says he and his staff work diligently to ensure their clients have a stress-free experience.

“We’re dedicated to providing unsurpassed customer service,” he says. “Most people think about home financing a few times in their life. We think about it every day.”

David got into the residential mort-gage business 16 years ago. After work-ing for a large bank, he decided there was a better way to do business. Joining ranks with McLean Mortgage Corpora-tion, he established the company’s first North Carolina office over six years ago.

Headquartered in Fairfax, Virginia, McLean has offices throughout the mid-Atlantic region and has grown to become one of the top 50 correspon-dent mortgage lenders in the nation.

“The company was founded with the core belief that home loans need to be handled by a team of in-house professionals,” David says. “By control-ling each phase of loan processing, underwriting and funding, we are able to provide our clients with exceptional customer service and on-time closings.”

At McLean, loan officers work directly with the clients, backed by a team of dedicated loan managers, processors and underwriters. Each team member is committed to making sure loans close when promised.

David, along with licensed mortgage advisors Char-Lee Smith and Vatche Manoukian, II, originate all transactions but have their own team of individuals to manage key components of the loan approval process such as appraisals, title work, tax transcripts, etc.

This in-house team concept allows each loan to flow through the lending milestones much more quickly. Weekly meetings and reports keep all parties involved with the transaction, including Realtors and closing attorneys, updat-ed on the status of the loan closing.

“In today’s challenging financial environment, it’s critical to align your-self with individuals who specialize in residential mortgages,” says David. “Our ongoing educational efforts and team approach uniquely allows us to qualify and close loans in a much more efficient manner. Loan files are handled in-house and smoothly transitioned from processing to underwriting and funding.

“Due to new federal and state dis-closure guidelines, most banks are now taking 45 to 60 days to close loans,” he adds. “At McLean we can still close loans in a more timely manner due to our superior technology and model of loan origination and underwriting.”

McLean is also committed to providing its clients with the most desir-

able financing programs and favorable interest rates.

“As an independent lender, we have over 16 investors allowing us to shop rates and programs that best fit our clients’ financing preferences. Programs include conventional, FHA, USDA, VA, jumbo and construction loans,” David notes.

Having experience with how other banks and mortgage companies oper-ate, David appreciates the differences in how McLean does business, and feels the company’s approach fosters long lasting friendships and relation-ships; that’s both good for the client, and also yields future referrals.

“These referrals have allowed our business to grow every year, with over $50 million in mortgages originated already in 2015 and over $1.5 billion each of the last two years as a com-pany,” says David.

David moved to the Triad from Seattle, Washington, 17 years ago, after losing a bet with his twin brother, Peter.

“We had agreed that whoever got married first, the other brother would relocate,” says David.

His brother, a cardiologist with Cone Hospital, won that bet, but David is thankful he moved to the Triad.

“I love the area and can’t imagine living anywhere else,” he says. “In fact, my brother and I have convinced most of our extended family to move to North Carolina.”

But, the biggest plus of all is his recent marriage to Melissa.

“I was so busy building my mort-

gage business that it left little time for relationships,” David says. “When I met Melissa, my whole life changed. She made me realize I could reach a balance between the demands of the mortgage industry and a personal life.”

Married just a little over a year ago, the couple resides in Oak Ridge. They have three daughters, Nichole, Han-nah and Maiya, and two beloved dogs, Louis, a Yorkiepoo, and Levi, a Yorkie.

Stokesdale landmark has new owner, new purpose

The “castle house” that sits at the corner of Vaughn Street and U.S. 158 in Stokesdale has been given new life. Recently purchased by Attorney Ronald D. Ingle, Jr., this distinctive property is now home to Ingle’s law practice, Ingle Law, PLLC.

Until recently, the firm occupied three different suites at the Oak Ridge Business Center. “My staff had

grown to four full-time em-ployees and two part-time employees,” says Ingle. “I decided it made more eco-nomic sense to purchase instead of renting.”

At this point, the law firm is occupying the entire building but Ingle says he might be interested in “renting out an office or two to another local attorney.”

Ingle and his staff are excited to be part of the Stokesdale community.

“We opened in September 2011 in Oak Ridge,” says Ingle. “We are thankful to the folks of northwest Guilford County for their support for the past four years and are looking forward to the next phase of our prac-

tice in the beautiful town of Stokesdale.

“I am particularly happy to be able to move my practice into such a historic landmark in this town. It has an ambiance and atmosphere that is second to none.”

The office is located at 8512 U.S. Highway 158 in Stokesdale.

Waterline extension plans in the works STOKESDALE – Plans to extend Stokes-dale’s municipal water system at Ever-sfield Road are moving forward, courtesy of developer Keystone Group.

At its Oct. 8 meeting, the Stokesdale Town Council approved a contract with Keystone, which asked to extend the town’s waterlines to Northwest Meadows, a 90-lot subdivision planned at 7901 Ever-sfield Road, just south of Athens Road.

The council also approved submittal of engineering plans and specifications for the project to the North Carolina Depart-ment of Environmental and Natural Re-sources. Until DENR provides an “Authori-zation to Construct,” contracts may not be awarded nor can construction begin.

Additionally, council approved a three-party agreement among the Town of Stokesdale, Keystone Group and the North Carolina Department of Transpor-tation, to encroach on the right of way

of Eversfield Road, extending southeast 2,910 feet from the Athens Road intersec-tion.

According to the agreement, the estimated cost to extend the waterlines is $200,000, excluding tap fees and meters. Keystone has agreed to fully finance and install, and convey the waterline extension to the Town of Stokesdale; the extension project will include 12 fire hydrants.

Council also approved a preliminary draft letter to five potential water custom-ers whose Eversfield Road properties will have access to the water system when the lines are extended to the new Northwest Meadows subdivision. These residents will be offered a tap and meter box installa-tion at a discount during construction of the extended lines; if they accept the offer but choose not to hook up to the town’s water system, however, they will be billed a monthly dry tap fee.

Bridgehead rezoning continued … againOAK RIDGE – After a long discussion among the Oak Ridge Town Council, property owners, a Realtor and an attor-ney, a public hearing regarding the rezon-ing of 29.3 acres on Bridgehead Road was continued on Nov. 5 – for the third time.

A request to rezone the property from agriculture (AG) to conditional use-rural preservation district (CU-RPD), for a pro-posed 27-lot development, went before the planning and zoning board in late July. The Town Council granted the applicant’s request to continue a public hearing from August until September. Following the death of one of the property owners, the Planning and Zoning Board requested a 60-day continu-ance until the November council meeting.

At the Nov. 5 council meeting, attorney Mark Isaacson requested another con-tinuance – this time until December – to address concerns raised by neighbors and stakeholders of the property which were brought up at the Oct. 22 Planning and Zoning Board meeting.

Greg and Mary Campbell, who own a portion of the property, said they were “un-aware of considerable concerns” prior to the Oct. 22 meeting, when neighbors com-plained they had not been contacted by the buyer or developer for feedback. However, Dede Cunningham, the buyer’s agent, said she had spoken with the neighbors in early June, and mailed them information later.

“It was a surprise that one of the prop-

erty owners spoke in opposition,” Cun-ningham said of the Planning and Zoning Board meeting.

Councilman Mike Stone pointed out that citizens were in the audience ready for a public hearing that had been advertised. He suggested the case be remanded back to the Planning and Zoning Board.

“I agree, but the alternative is to ask one of the parties to represent themselves without their attorney here,” said Coun-cilman Ray Combs. “I think we should continue, with the understanding that we are not happy about it.”

Mayor Spencer Sullivan said, “The developer has a new attorney [Isaacson] who is fresh on this case... But I’m not pleased with it either.”

Councilman George McClellan agreed with Stone, but said he was sensitive to the absence of one of the attorneys.

“My heart goes out to the folks who came out for this public hearing,” McClel-lan said. “This is a decision to uphold due process and the right of a person to have their attorney present in this room. We have to support that right above all else.”

“We don’t change a process because someone changes an attorney,” said Stone, who voted against the continuance, which passed 4-1.

Start content here if using a new section bar Council approves developer’s sketch plan for 82.76 acresOAK RIDGE – At its Nov. 5 monthly meeting, the Oak Ridge Town Council unanimously approved a sketch plan for 82.76 acres on Happy Hill Road.

D. Stone Builders is proposing a 76-lot development for the property, located just north of Warner Road. The sketch plan included lots, open space and right-of-way dedication.

“Under rural preservation district (RPD) guidelines, 50 percent of the site must be designated as open space, which can consist of off-site septic areas, wells, recreation and common areas,” said Oak Ridge Planning Director Bill Bruce. “The intent of the RPD is to pre-serve rural character, manmade features and environmentally-sensitive areas.”

Most notably, the plan preserves a significant portion of pastures and soy-bean fields along Happy Hill Road.

“New homes are designed to be

tucked behind the existing tree line, or set back a significant distance from Hap-py Hill Road,” said Bruce. “Also, stream buffers, steep slopes and the forested area on the rear of the property are also proposed to be preserved.”

As permitted in the RPD, minimum lot sizes will be 20,000 square feet.

With sketch plan approval in hand, the applicant was to have a public hear-ing before the Oak Ridge Planning and Zoning Board on Thursday, Nov. 19, to rezone the property from agriculture (AG) to conditional use-rural preserva-tion district (CU-RPD). That board will present its recommendation for approval or denial during the Dec. 3 Town Coun-cil meeting, at which a second public hearing will be held.

Both hearings are set for 7 p.m. at Oak Ridge Town Hall, 8315 Linville Road.

Parcel rezoned for auto business, eateryOAK RIDGE – Twilight Outparcel LLC was granted unanimous approval by the Oak Ridge Town Council on Nov. 5 for the rezoning of 1684 N.C. 68, a piece of asphalt-paved property just south of N.C. 150 and the Shell station.

Philip Cooke, owner of Twilight Outparcel, had submitted a request to rezone the 1.2-acre parcel from limited business (LB) to conditional use-general business (CU-GB). The property lies in the Scenic Corridor and the Greensboro (WS-III) Watershed overlay zones.

Town planner Bill Bruce noted that Cooke wanted to limit the type of busi-ness at the location to four potential uses: minor auto repair services such as Jiffy Lube, auto supply sales, tire sales, or a drive-through restaurant.

Bruce further said those uses are consistent with the Town’s Land Use Plan, and that Town staff and the Planning and Zoning Board all recommended approval.

Councilman Jim Kinneman empha-sized the Scenic Corridor’s stringent restrictions, including those related to parking. Bruce said parking would be behind the facility.

“It won’t be a chrome Denny’s, I un-derstand, but the structure needs to flow with everything else,” said Councilman Mike Stone.

“Our track record speaks for itself,” said Cooke, who spoke in favor of the rezoning during the public hearing. No one spoke in opposition.

For the past 10 years, the Greens-boro Builders Association (GBA) has partnered with Habitat for Humanity of Greater Greensboro to build homes for deserving families who otherwise would not be able to own a home of their own.

This year’s “Raising Roofs…Builders for Habitat” initiative was planned for Nov. 2-6, but due to weather, the build-ers began construction on Oct. 30 in order to complete the five homes.

Participating builders included: Don Mills Builders, Inc., Disney Construction Company, Windsor Homes, Precept Construction, Naylor Custom Homes, Silverstein Construction Corp., Ron Foister Custom Homes, LLC, Gary Jobe Builder, Inc., J&B Builders, Inc. New Age Builders, Inc., John Hodgin Construction Co., LLC, SwiftCreek Construction, LLC,

JLB Remodeling, Inc., FM Contracting, LLC, DLM Builders, Inc., Brickwood Builders, Inc. and Keystone Homes.

All five homes were completed in time for the dedication ceremony, which took place on Friday, Nov. 6, in Greens-boro’s Quail Oaks subdivision.

During the past decade, builders with GBA have built over 50 new homes and completed three home renovations.

The GBA says that “habitat homes are simple, decent and affordable houses sold to hardworking families at no profit and with interest-free financing. In addition to a modest down pay-ment, families contribute 300 hours of ‘sweat equity’ toward the purchase of their home. For ‘Raising Roofs’ homes, families volunteer on other construction projects to achieve the required hours.”

Northwest hangs on to advance to second round of playoffsby L.A. LOGAN

No. 13 Northwest Guilford Vikings (8-4, 2-3) advanced to the second round of the 4-AA NCHSAA football championships with a stunning 29-28 win over No. 4 Gar-ner Magnet Trojans (9-3, 6-1) on Nov. 13.

When the Trojans jumped out to a 14-0 lead in the first quarter, the Vikings were left with little to cheer about – until Caleb Homol and Mitch Bryant hooked up for a 62-yard touchdown screen pass.

Just before halftime, Thomas Hen-

nigan leaped over four Garner defend-ers for a 21-yard catch that set up Tre’ Turner’s 18-yard receiving touchdown.

The score was tied 21-21 at halftime.

A Trojan touchdown led to a 28-21 score throughout the third and fourth quarters. With just under three minutes left in the fourth quarter, the defense and Justin Stone, who later said he just wasn’t ready for the season to end, forced a Garner punt.

The Vikings, in a must score situation, had to march 73 yards to reach the end zone.

Once Northwest reached Garner’s 44-yard line, Homol closed the deal with two completions to Turner – the first, for 20 yards, and the second, a courageous 24-yard reception with two defenders draped all over him. That brought the Vikings within one point of the Trojans, 28-27.

Head coach Jared Rolfes opted to leave his offense on the field and go for a two-point conversion.

Hennigan, who replaced Homol at quar-terback for the one play, caught the snap out of the shotgun, rolled to his right, and then seemingly out of nowhere threw the ball back towards the left side of the end zone where it dropped into the hands of Stone.

“Stone and I knew as well as the team that it was ‘Put up or shut up,’” said Hen-nigan.

With 51 seconds on the clock, the Vi-kings’ defense forced a three-and-out and sealed the win.

“We were underdogs and had momen-tum, so we went for the win,” said Rolfes.LOOKING BACK | “The win was huge for the program,” said Rolfes. “This year has been up and down, so to beat a program like Garner was huge. Garner hasn’t lost a Round 1 playoff game since 2004.”

COMING UP | On Friday, Nov. 20, No. 13 Northwest plays No. 5 Fuquay-Varina (11-1, 6-1) in Raleigh in the second round of the 4-AA NCHSAA football championships.

NWMS, Lowes recognize Hodges for positive behavior NW GREENSBORO – On Saturday, Nov. 7, Kelsey Hodges, a sixth-grader at Northwest Guilford Middle School, received a $100 gift certificate from Lowes Foods in Oak Ridge. She then used her certificate to purchase necessary food items to donate to Second Harvest Food Bank.

As part of the Positive Behavior Inter-ventions and Supports program, Kelsey was selected from among several students who turned in a completed behavior incentive card signed by her teachers. Stu-

dents at NWMS are encouraged to show Viking P.R.I.D.E. (Personal Responsibility in Daily Efforts) and Kelsey has proven her-self to be a shining example of this motto.

Jeff Beane, manager of Lowes Foods in Oak Ridge, enthusiastically embraced the school’s efforts to promote positive behavior as well as service to the commu-nity. He donated the gift card and warmly welcomed Kelsey and her family, giving words of praise and encouragement for her efforts.

Northern’s CJ Freeman breaks out in fi rst-round winby L.A. LOGAN

No. 13 Northern Guilford (8-4, 5-3) went back to the basics to knock off No. 4 Corinth Holders (9-3, 4-1), 40-7 on Nov. 13.

While offense wins games, defense wins championships. And on that note, Northern’s defense blocked a punt on Corinth Holders’ first possession that resulted in a safety.

“We had a lot of energy,” said North-ern’s Kyle Quashie. “Everyone did their job and made plays. We came into the game with the mindset if we lose, we go home, if we win we move on.”

A 2-yard Miles Timmons run put Northern ahead 12-0.

“The team got it done,” he said.

Before halftime, CJ Freeman extended

Northern’s advantage to 19-0 after a 66-yard rushing score.

Freeman wasn’t done, however. He added a 91-yard rushing touchdown – the longest of his career – halfway through the third quarter.

“It’s playoff time,” said Freeman. “Ev-ery game is a must win.”

Freeman’s third score and Kaleel Cath-cart’s defensive fumble recovery touch-down in the fourth quarter put the game out of reach. LOOKING BACK | Freeman rushed for 256 yards on 18 carries, his top rushing performance of the year.

COMING UP | No. 13 Northern plays No. 5 Asheboro (10-2, 5-1) AWAY in the sec-ond round of the 3-AA NCHSAA Football Championships on Nov. 20.

LETTERS/OPINIONS

The Grinch at Gray GablesOver the last two weeks I have read

stories and comments all about the Gray Gables Santa in the Gardens disaster. I fail to see why everyone is so angry at the Town of Summerfield.

Towns require special use permits to make sure they can ensure the public health, safety and general welfare of the area while an event takes place. All of these things are of utmost impor-tance to the residents who live close by. Imagine a world without permits where anyone could throw a tent up anywhere and have a party of any volume all night. Sounds fun? Not if you’re their neighbor! We all enjoy high tax value on our homes in this area because such codes and permits exist.

The Town of Summerfield has a $100 annual permit. Pat Jenks wants to hide behind the fact that “he was left to his own to remember” when it was due, but let’s be honest, we are talking about four straight years in a row that Mr. Jenks has missed the May deadline. In the Oct. 30 NWO article, it is stated that Mr. Jenks

missed the deadline for 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015!

In addition to their inability to pay on time, Gray Gables is also in viola-tion of several other town statutes. They have been out of compliance with their unpaved driveway, signage and food preparation. They’re a serial offender in this case, and tickled pink at the public outcry because it redirects attention away from their mistakes and deflects blame back on a party with enough integrity to uphold the law.

To err is human, but perhaps the most infuriating mistake is that Gray Ga-bles is playing the victim here. Mr. Jenks stated “we just don’t understand” as if his disbelief or confusion was founded on an injustice done by the town. They got caught doing the wrong thing, and I will not be redirected by their smoke screen. The Santa event is cancelled because the real Grinch lives at Gray Gables, not in Town Hall.

Thank youI am honored that the voters in Oak

Ridge elected me to a second term on the Oak Ridge Town Council. I want to thank all the folks who made the phone calls, who posted on social media, wrote letters of endorsement to the Northwest

Observer, placed signs in their yards and properties and took the time to vote. I pledge to continue to do my best to rep-resent you on our town council.

GRINS to... Ray Parrish, NWHS

teacher, for recently waving us through the intersection of Bunch Road and N.C. 150. Be-cause of your graciousness, my daughter got to school just in time – thank you!

Oak Ridge Military Academy president Danny Nobles, staff and cadets for the memorial service for a homeless veteran, John Roper Barber.

Pat Jenks, owner of Gray Gables, for all he has done and all the good publicity he’s brought to Summerfield.

The students who attended the Vet-erans Day service at the veterans monu-ment in Stokesdale. Come again next year and invite your friends to come with you.

Northwest Middle and High School administrative staff and teachers. You often go above and beyond in educating our kids, and we truly appreciate the hon-est effort! The impact of your hard work is immeasurable and we thank you all.

Dr. Angel Fuller of King’s Crossing Ani-mal Hospital for responding quickly to aid a dog who was, unfortunately, fatally wound-ed upon attempting to cross Haw River Road. Dr. Fuller was quick to arrive, helpful and comforting during this sad event.

GRIPES to... (Carolina Panthers quarter-

back) Cam Newton for tearing down a Green Bay Packers’ fan sign a few weeks ago. He is telling every-one, “If you’re not a Panthers fan, don’t spend your money in this stadium.”

The driver of the car going 37 mph on Linville Road about a week ago. It’s called a speed limit for a reason! Don’t endanger others with your reckless driving. Gripes about the deer – seriously! Quit

snooping on your neighbors. You live in the country and deer are part of the country. Look into deer-resistant plants – or, I’ll supply the moving van to assist you to get away from the deer. To NCDOT and/or the construction

crew for not finishing the intersection of U.S. 220/N.C. 150 at CVS before block-ing Strawberry Road. Traffic was bad enough at this intersection before you diverted even more traffic to it! Dedicated turn lanes/lights would help. All those people wondering why the

light doesn’t turn green for them; stay be-hind the white line on Linville Road and it will turn much faster. Northwest Middle School for promis-

ing a limo ride to lunch for students who sold the most raffle tickets, but the ride was in the school activity bus. The sheriff’s department for not

enforcing the 25 mph speed limit for the curve/bridge on North Lake Brandt Road. There is at least one accident a year due to speeding – will someone have to die before the speed limit is enforced? Oak Ridge Elementary car rider

parents who are cutting in line. You have one job: stay in line. Why is that so hard? People who text while driving. You are

not fooling other drivers. You drift around the road like a drunk driver and we can see you looking at your phone. It’s obvi-ous. Pull over if it’s that important.
