Politicians not insured, qualifi ed to deem water lines and meter boxes are properly installed
by GERRI HUNTSTOKESDALE – During a special-called meet-ing of the Stokesdale Town Council on June 25 to discuss mainly water system issues, town at-torney William Trevorrow was taken aback when he realized council members were inspecting water line installations.
“So council people are going to go out and inspect the installation of meters? To make sure they’re installed correctly? Did I hear that right?” asked Trevorrow.

Town instructs CrossFit to vacate its facility on Linville Road until it complies with ordinances
by PATTI STOKES
OAK RIDGE – Never in Oak Ridge’s 17 years of incorporation has its relationship with a business been more contentious than the one it has with CMT Commons/Mustang Fitness, operator of CrossFit, which constructed a 12,350-square-foot, single-story, “barn-type building” in 2012 for a multipurpose sports training facility. Though Oak Ridge Town Hall and CrossFit are next door neighbors on
Linville Road, in perspectives the local government and business couldn’t be much further apart.
Since the sports facility was built, numerous informal meetings with CMT Commons’ representatives and the town’s staff and attorney, rezoning and site plan review hearings before the town’s Planning and Zoning Board, multiple appearances before the town’s Historic Preservation Commission at regularly scheduled and special called meetings, hearings before the town’s Board of Adjustment, and hearings be-fore a Guilford County Superior Court judge have only served to deepen the rift between the two entities.
On June 24, the town sent a letter
Town of Oak Ridge vs. CrossFit Oak Ridge

CrossFit Oak Ridge received a letter dated June 24 notifying the business that it must vacate the building it occupies on Linville Road, which is adjacent to Oak Ridge Town Hall, until it comes in compliance with the town’s Code of Ordinances.
to CMT Commons notifying the cor-poration that CrossFit is occupying the building at 8309 Linville Road in viola-tion of the town’s ordinances, that civil penalties for the violation are accruing on a daily basis, and the town plans to take immediate enforcement measures to ensure compliance with its Code of Ordinances.
To avoid enforcement procedures, the letter stated CrossFit must immediately
vacate the building and bring it into com-pliance with the conditionally approved COA (Certificate of Appropriateness) granted by the town’s Historic Preserva-tion Commission in October 2012.
The letter included eight bullet

Do you know if there are plans to install security cameras at Oak Ridge Commons shop-
ping center in Oak Ridge? I think it would be a good idea to have the parking lot under surveillance 24/7, with signs posted that the parking area is under surveillance.

N.C. 150 and N.C. 68 several months ago and the sheriff’s department has access to the surveillance cameras.

“I am honored to serve as the board’s next president,” said Green. “I believe athletics is an integral part of the educa-tional experience, and I am pleased to take on the responsibility of ensuring it is an enriching experience for all of our
state’s student athletes.” The board determines rules and regu-
lations which govern high school athletic activities in the state and is responsible for supervising those activities to ensure the rules are followed.
Town councils set to meet NW GUILFORD – The Oak Ridge Town Council was scheduled to meet at 7 p.m. on Thursday, July 9, at Town Hall on Linville Road.
The agenda included consideration of a resolution to add extensions of Pepper Road (.17 mile), East Pepper Court (.06 mile) and West Pepper Court (.06 mile) to the N.C. State Maintenance System.
A public hearing was also scheduled on a rezoning of 24.6 acres on Warner Road from AG (Agricultural) to RS-40 (Residential). The property is owned by Bryan and Tammy Gardner, and is located in the Oak Ridge Extra-Territorial Jurisdic-tion.
The Summerfield Town Council will meet at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, July 14,
at Summerfield Community Center on Centerfield Road.
Council will hold public hearings on two property rezoning applications. The town has received a request to rezone 132.06 acres at the intersection of Lake Brandt Road and Scalesville Road, from AG (Agricultural) to CU-RS-40 (Condition-al Use Residential). The other request is to rezone 2.758 acres at 811 N.C. 150 West, from RS-40 to AG, so both portions of the lot will have the same zoning.
The Stokesdale Town Council will meet at 7 p.m. on Thursday, July 16, at Town Hall on Angel Pardue Road. Agen-da items should include park rules and fees, and setting a salary and advertising for a water system field operator.
Candidate fi ling begins NW GUILFORD – As of Tuesday, July 7 – the second day of candidate filing for the November 2015 election – four local candi-dates have filed for a town council seat.
In Oak Ridge, George McClellan has filed for re-election.
In Stokesdale, incumbent Frank Bruno has filed, as has newcomer Jaycee Spruill.
Stokesdale Councilmen Bill Jones and Joe Thacker also have expiring terms, and though they had not filed as of our deadline, they have both confirmed they will run again.
Thacker was appointed to the council in August 2014, after Councilman Gary Albert resigned the seat (Albert himself was an appointee as well, joining the council in January 2014 to serve the remaining term of Randy Braswell, who was elected mayor).
In Oak Ridge, Spencer Sullivan has not
yet filed, but confirmed he will run for a second (four-year) term. Councilman/Mayor Ray Combs says he will not make a deci-sion until closer to the filing deadline.
In Summerfield, Cheri Pikett has filed to run for a council seat; incumbent Dena Barnes, who has served on the town coun-cil since 1997, has confirmed she will file for re-election, as will Tim Sessoms, who will seek his second (two-year) term as the town’s mayor. Incumbents Alicia Flowers and Elizabeth McClellan have not yet an-nounced whether they will run again.
Candidates may file to run in the Nov. 3 election through noon on Friday, July 17.
Candidates must file at the Guilford County Board of Elections at 301 W. Mar-ket St., Greensboro, or 325 E. Russell Ave., High Point.

What makes it all worth it is for a parent to say ‘My child
was a child for an evening.’”–Amy Quintana, on the Heroes gamesponsored by Summerfield Recreation
Association on May 29.Successful fi rst game leads to formation of fall leagueby GERRI HUNTSUMMERFIELD – Amy Quintana and Debbie DeLoach have a few things in common. They each have sons who play baseball with Summerfield Recreation Association. They also each have a child with special needs, and although they didn’t know each other, they individually
approached the SRA about forming a league for those special kids.
“My 10-year-old daughter Sarah has watched her brothers play for years,” said Quintana. “She wants to go out and hit the ball.”
While there are a couple of leagues for special needs children, Greensboro and High Point were too far for Quintana to join. So she asked her neighbor, Glenn Garner – one of SRA’s vice-presidents of
Heroes League offers ‘typical’ sport for kids with special needs
baseball – if SRA could form a special league to include kids like Sarah.
In the meantime, DeLoach’s son was on a travel team with SRA President Barry Wesoly’s son, so she approached Wesoly with the same request.
Garner and Wesoly brought the two moms together – and from there, the Heroes League was born for spe-cial needs children, ages 4 to 17.
The moms and men organized a game for May 29 at Summerfield Athletic Park. Flyers were distributed via SRA, on Facebook, the Northwest Observer and through emails. Word of mouth spread fast, and 18 athletes registered by the sign-up deadline.
“We had tons of people com-ing forward wanting to help – it was overwhelming,” said Quintana. “Then businesses said they wanted to spon-sor us, so it got bigger.”
Summerfield offered field time for the game at Summerfield Athletic Park, and a local lawn care company dried out the rain-soaked field at no charge. SRA Coach Gene Nitz of Nitz Graph-

Twenty-three special needs children came out to Summerfi eld Athletic Park on a Friday evening in May for the fi rst-ever Heroes game.

Flinn releases seventh novelElle McLarin character comes to forefront
Award-winning author and Sum-merfield resident Mary Flinn long ago fell in love with North Carolina’s mountains and coast, creating the backdrops for her series of novels, “The One,” “Sec-
ond Time’s a Charm,” “Three Gifts,” and “A Forever Man.” The characters in her first book have continued to call to her, wanting more of their stories told, which bred the next three books in the series.
On May 31, Flinn released her seventh book, “A Girl Like That,” with Elle McLa-rin returning from the pages of Flinn’s first novels. With a bad girl reputation she can’t live down, Elle heads to Wilmington,
where she opens a bakery and works on distancing herself from her transgressions. Just as things start going in the right direction, a jealous bystander uncovers Elle’s sordid past, threatening her new life.
Flinn is the recipient of the Reader Views Literary Awards 2012 Reviewers’ Choice honorable mention in the romance category for “A Forever Man,” and first
place award for Romance Novel in the Reader Views 2011 Literary Book Awards. The Pacific Book Review Best Romance Novel of 2011 went to “Three Gifts.” “Second Time’s a Charm,” also released in 2011, won an honorable mention in the
Reader Views Reviewers’ Choice Awards. In addition to her series, Flinn writes contemporary women’s fiction, including B.R.A.G. Medallion winner “The Nest,” and “Breaking Out.” For more informa-tion, visit www.TheOneNovel.com.

items describing unapproved changes to the building’s exterior that must be addressed before the CrossFit build-ing is brought into compliance with the ordinances.
Speaking on behalf of CrossFit, co-owner Chad Gimbert says some of those items, such as replacing the barn doors on the front of the building – are not economically feasible, and are down-right unreasonable.
Gimbert says he and other CrossFit owners “sucked it up” in the latter part of 2012 and offered to take care of every item on the Historic Preservation
Commission’s non-compliance list – except shrink the main entry doors and replace the windows.
“We fought them (on those two is-sues) and that’s what led to this today,” he said, referring to the ultimatum the town recently issued CrossFit.
Battle lines between the town and CrossFit were drawn early on, when Mark Smith, another CrossFit co-owner, ex-pressed confusion over the HPC’s building design and design modification require-ments. He and Gimbert spoke at the HPC meeting on Sept. 12, 2012, and said they had not understood they would be held to an exact replica of what had been previ-ously approved by the HPC, or that what they viewed as minor aesthetic changes must be brought back before the HPC.
Steven Lantz, who at the time was chairman of the HPC, responded that anything which didn’t appear on the approved building plans needed to be resubmitted for approval – something he felt had been adequately explained to CrossFit owners before – and the process was not to build something and then ask for approval afterward.
Commission members explained that architectural and aesthetic details of buildings within the town’s historic district were extremely important.
After a lengthy discussion between Commission members and CrossFit representatives, in which several building design elements were discussed in detail, the HPC voted at that Sept. 12, 2012 meeting to issue a temporary Certificate of Occupancy (CO), which would allow CrossFit to open for business; simultane-ously, the representatives were instructed to come back to the HPC the following month with suggestions for addressing several design elements that had been modified and remained unresolved.
The following month, on Oct. 23, 2012, the HPC issued a conditional COA for CrossFit’s building.
CMT Commons filed an appeal to the conditions placed on CrossFit’s COA, however, and the case moved on to the town’s Board of Adjustment. Though it was placed on the BOA’s Dec. 13, 2012 meeting agenda, CrossFit’s le-gal counsel requested and was granted a continuance.
Three months later, in March 2013, the BOA denied CMT Commons’ appeal to conditions the town’s HPC placed on its COA. CMT Commons then filed an appeal to the BOA’s decision with Guilford County Superior Court.
“Town Council has no control over HPC, other than to appoint members to the commission,” said Oak Ridge Mayor Combs recently of the process. “When they appealed the BOA’s decision, it had to go to court.
The first court hearing was in Sep-tember 2013, but for various reasons, subsequent hearings were continued or delayed; the case finally went back be-
fore a Superior Court judge on April 10, 2014, at which time the judge recom-mended the two parties try once more to work out their differences.
The Town of Oak Ridge and CMT Commons returned to Superior Court the following month, but before the case was heard the town agreed to let the corporation submit another revised COA application for the CrossFit building.
It was not until last month, on June 10, that CMT Commons’ representatives again appeared before the HPC with an amend-ed COA. While some of the conditions the HPC listed in 2012 had been met, others remained unresolved and the HPC denied approval of the amended COA. CMT Com-mons countered by filling an appeal with the town’s Board of Adjustment, which is scheduled to be heard on Aug. 12.
According to the June 24 letter, CrossFit cannot continue occupying the building while waiting for its appeal to be heard by the BOA.
“If I vacate the building, how long will my customers pay me each month? At the end of the day, the building will be vacant with breezes blowing through-out … What is the end? For me to be out of the building and be out of there?” Gimbert asked. “What would be the harm in them negotiating?”
“They are operating in a building with-out an approved Certificate of Occupancy, and that is illegal; it is not a subjective measure on our part,” Mayor Combs said of the situation. “We don’t have the luxury of saying that is okay. There is a fine for every day they don’t have a CO – the fines are laid out and they are aware of them.”
Bill Bruce, Oak Ridge’s planning director, confirmed CrossFit began incurring civil penalties on June 15. They accrue at the rate of $25 the first day, $50 the second day, $100 the third day, and $200 each day thereafter. As of July 8, those penalties total $4,175.
The sign on the exterior of the building is a separate violation, and even though repainted, it has not been approved by HPC. That civil penalty was assessed on Feb.6, 2015, and now totals $29,975.

graduate of Asbury Theological Semi-nary southwest of Lexington, Kentucky, he has spent the last 35 years discipling to homeless people.
In the meantime, Andrews was devouring books about a fateful three-
day trek on Mount Everest in 1996, during which nine climbers died and 11 survived. His friend, Charlotte Fox of Greensboro, “came within an eyelash of losing her life,” he said.
Andrews recognized a parallel be-tween climbing Mount Everest and read-ing the Bible, and began his own journey, writing “Dare to Summit, Read it Thru.”
Each day, the book guides the reader through Bible chapters, with insights, quotes and stories of conversion to Christianity. The reader can check off one itinerary item each day, with each item coinciding with a trip to the summit of Mount Everest. For instance, Day 1 is the arrival in Singapore; Day 24 is crossing narrow cable suspension bridges; and Day 318 is walking left of the Khumbu glacier. By Day 365, the reader is finished with the Mount Everest trek … and with reading the Bible cover to cover.

ics Services designed shirts for free, and Garner provided medals for the children.
“We didn’t even ask for volunteers. We thought we could just get SRA players to volunteer, but we had people emailing us saying they and their family or neighbors wanted to volunteer,” said Quintana.
“We had so many kids in the outfield, with volunteers there for support,” she said. “That means a lot, because when you have a child with special needs, it’s sometimes really difficult to get accep-tance for them and have kids understand what they need. It was just awesome to have so many volunteer kids out there say-ing, ‘Hey, I’m here, what do you need?’”
By game night, 24 special needs children gathered at the field. The crowd cheered as each child was introduced and made their way along a path lined by enthusiastic SRA players and coaches.
Quintana later heard from many of the children’s parents, who were elated that their children were “typical” and smiling at the event.
“They just don’t get that [usually] because they don’t feel like a typical kid. It was not a long game – just one inning – but for just that moment… what makes it all worth it is for a parent to say ‘My child was a child for an evening,’” said Quintana.
“When you have a child with special
needs and go through the daily grind of things, and then [at the game] you don’t have to worry about that, it’s an amaz-ing feeling,” she said.
“Some of the kids had no idea what they were supposed to do. But once they do it a couple of times, they will start to recognize they are supposed to hit the ball and run the bases,” said Quintana, adding that a fall Heroes League is in the works. “We like that it’s grassroots and local. The support was there, and obviously there’s a need for it.”
After the game, some of the spectators offered to sponsor the league for the fall. Quintana hopes to have bats, gloves and hats for the special needs athletes so they will have their own “league equipment.”
The Heroes League will have online registration through the SRA beginning in August, but organizers are unsure of the number of games they will initially offer.
“If you do too much, they might not want to come to every game,” said Quintana. “We need to take baby steps, and figure out what people want and don’t want.”
She said they may break the children up on separate fields, where some can play the game, and others can just hit the ball or just run.
For more information on the Heroes League, email [email protected], or keep an eye on SRA’s website, www.summerfieldrec.org.

GRINS to... Crooked Tree Golf
Course owners/staff for supporting our women’s golf group. They handled the issue professionally of men’s groups passing us and playing out of or-der. We will definitely play there again ... such a beautiful course and staff!
The two gentlemen who changed my flat tire at the Piedmont Farmers Market on July 1. I told them they were my angels that day.
Northwest High School’s Class of 1965. My 50th class reunion is in 10 years – I wish I thought I could look as good as those who just celebrated theirs from the Class of 1965!
The generous retired man on Straw-berry Road in Summerfield who offers fresh produce to his neighbors. It is such a treat for those of us who don’t have time to tend a garden. So appreciate your kindness!
Beacon Suites Pet Resort in Stokes-dale. Loving, caring staff in a spotless and well-run facility. We travel from Greensboro and it is so worth the trip. Our baby is well taken care of and loved there. A five-paw (star) recommendation!
GRIPES to... Those against guns.
Most people killed by guns are victims because they did not have the means to protect themselves. Guns don’t kill, criminals kill – they also use knives, baseball bats, drugs and driving drunk.
The Oak Ridge Town Council for ap-proving, and (developer) Kevan Combs for connecting the road from Knights Landing into Linville Oaks. Just as we had thought, there have been mud slides into the yards of several homes.
The driver of the burgundy diesel truck on Waterton Road (Hillsdale Lake, Summerfield), July 1 about 8:30 a.m. While I was walking, the truck sped around the corner and almost hit me. I motioned to slow down and instead they revved their engine.
To the Oak Ridge Town Council member who threw a lit cigarette butt out at Bistro 150 on Monday morning, June 15. Not only are you littering, but you could cause a fire.
The staff at Lowe’s Home Improve-ment on Battleground Avenue. Very disappointed that no one offered nor as-sisted me with loading my car. I was late to my doctor’s appointment for physical therapy ... how ironic.
The church in Stokesdale that blan-ket calls people they don’t even know at home. It intrudes on our privacy and our own beliefs!
The Supreme Court for its ruling on same-sex marriage. The court went against the will of the people and God. Marriage will always be between a man and woman.
Lowes Foods in Oak Ridge for hav-ing people taste-testing alcohol in the middle of the grocery store. Do we really need that, and do we need them getting behind the wheel of a vehicle afterward?

Mayor Randy Braswell replied with a resounding, “Yes sir!”
“Why? Why would you want to take on that liability?” asked Trevorrow.
The decision for council to take on that task was made during a June 18 workshop, after MBD Consulting Engineers, which the town had hired for inspections, announced it didn’t have the manpower to do them. And Yates Construction has a conflict in inspecting the work of its competitors.
Braswell noted the meeting’s agenda included advertising for a field operator for the water system, although council later voted 5-0 to move that discussion to the July 16 council meeting.
“So in the gap right now of having no one to look [at installations]… coun-cil members are better than nobody,” he said, citing challenges in new develop-ments (see “Town advised to hire water system manager” on front cover of the June 26 issue).
“I’m concerned whether that kind of activity of council is covered by insur-ance… I am not sure it is,” said Trevor-row. “Mr. Mayor, are you qualified?”
“Well, I can read,” answered Bras-well. “We’ve got a specifications book, and it’s kind of a picture book.”
Trevorrow asked if the other council members were qualified, and Braswell explained that specifications are written on the pipes, and that council verifies the right materials are on the job site.
Trevorrow asked if there was anyone else to do the inspections.
“We’re in the process of looking for someone. It seems that we’re running a business at about two hours per month,” Braswell reiterated. “There’s not a soul here qualified, but we can go see if a water meter box is [too] far above the drainage line… you don’t have to be a public utilities contractor to say ‘we’ve got the wrong parts, we’re not getting what we paid for.”
Trevorrow suggested council con-tinue the discussion at its next regular meeting on Thursday, July 16, at 7 p.m.
“I’m concerned that you’re taking on a function other than a councilman when you’re out there in the field mak-ing a physical inspection,” he said.
But Braswell said he didn’t see that it was any different than ordering a chair, receiving it and checking the packing list to make sure he got what he paid for.
“It’s a slippery slope,” Stokesdale resident Commie Johnson said from the audience. “I hear you saying you’re looking at materials, but that’s not really your problem. Your problem is people putting [meter boxes] in ditches. I think you’re on the right track about getting somebody, because you folks are not supposed to be inspecting water lines… location is your biggest problem.”
Braswell responded, “Even with a company hired to inspect, this is your manager group right here, so I think we’re identified a little bit differently in a council-mayor form of government, than if you had a manager.”
Shaking his head, Trevorrow an-swered, “I don’t think so. I think you’re
stepping outside your function as a council person and putting yourselves in an inspection category, and maybe don’t have the right certification for it – to say nothing of the background and experience,” he said.
Braswell said he didn’t have a prob-lem backing down, and that he was just trying to solve a problem.
“But this one goes further than solv-ing a problem, it may be creating one,” said Trevorrow.
“I would agree, and not to sound ar-gumentative, but to drive my point home, we’re not qualified to test, but to confirm those materials on that job, in ditch lines and right-of-ways… I sign for that,” said Braswell. “I told council I’m not signing any more of those types of documents. I’ve got to go look myself. We’re in a very awkward position… we’re signing for stuff that’s buried under the ground, even though it’s been state inspected.”
Braswell finally conceded, though, saying, “We’re not going to make any more field inspections.”
