Finance committeesfocus on 2016-2017 scal year

by PATTI STOKES

NORTHWEST GUILFORD At its council retreat in January and a special-called meeting in Febru-ary, the Summerfield Town Council discussed and prioritized capital projects for next fiscal year and other budget-related items such as the potential long-term need for a part-time planner and the purchase of a Reel mower for the athletic fields at Summerfield Athletic Park; that information was then relayed to the

Finance Committee, which has since worked on developing a line-item budget draft for the 2016-2017 fiscal year. The preliminary budget draft will be released on Thursday, April 7, and will be accessible online atwww.summerfieldgov.com.

There will be periods for budget-related public comments at Summer-fields monthly town council meeting on April 12, at its Finance Commit-tee meeting on Monday, April 18, at the Tuesday, May 10 town council meeting, and at a special called town council meeting on Tuesday, May 24, when the final budget draft will be

Happy trails?As we look to the future, is greater walkability within Oak Ridge, Summerfield and Stokesdale something we should be planning for now and budgeting accord-ingly? If not, what do you see as the greatest negative effects of doing so, to you personally and/or to your community? And if so, what do you see as the greatest positive effects of doing so, to you personally and/or to your community, and how should your town proceed to accomplish that goal? Send your comments for inclu-sion in a future issue to [email protected].

HB2What do you think about North Carolina HB2 (aka the Charlotte Bathroom Bill), which has increasingly drawn backlash since it was signed into law on March 23? Is it discriminatory toward gay and transgen-der people, or a common-sense privacy law, as North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory and other proponents argue?

NEWS in brief

...continued on p. 18

Obey the sign or pay the neNORTH CAROLINA Studies continue to show that speed is a major cause of injury and fatality on North Carolina roadways. NCDOT reports that in 2015 alone, 23 percent of all fatal crashes in the state were related to speeding, and resulted in 322 speed-related fatalities and 10,658 speed-related injuries.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration considers a crash to be related to speeding if the driver was charged with a speeding-related offense, or if the responding officer in-dicates the driver was either driving too fast for the road conditions at the time or was exceeding the posted speed limit.

The N.C. Governors Highway Safety Program (GHSP)s annual speed enforcement blitz, launched on March 24, will be in effect through April 3. The intensified enforcement effort against speeding drivers underscores the severity of the problem across our states roads. Officers have stepped up enforcement of posted speed limits throughout North Carolina and are ticketing anyone caught speeding.

Many Americans believe they wont be ticketed if they drive within a buffer

zone above the posted speed limit. But now, law enforcement will be targeting and ticketing speeding drivers, NCDOT said recently in a news release.

Speeding translates to death on our roadways. It greatly reduces a drivers ability to steer safely around another vehicle, a hazardous object, or an un-expected curve, confirmed Don Nail, director of the GHSP. We want to help our state and local law enforcement get out their message, Obey the Sign or Pay the Fine to reduce fatalities.

Fully 86 percent of all speeding-relat-ed traffic fatalities occur on local roads where the posted speed limits were

55 miles per hour or under.

According to the Na-tional Highway Traffic Safety

Administration, a crash on a road with a speed limit of 65 mph or greater is more than twice as likely to result in a fatality than a crash on a road with a speed limit of 45 or 50 mph and nearly five times as likely as a crash on a road with a speed limit of 40 mph or below. About 14

percent of the countrys speed-ing-related fatalities occur on interstate highways each year.

Residents, developers work toward compromise on rezoningNORTHWEST GREENSBORO Residents of Rambling Road, part of the 82-home Westbrook Village development off Alcorn Road, met with developers Buddy Lyons and Eric Dischinger of LD Ram-bling Road, LLC on March 23 to express their concerns about a rezoning request scheduled to go before the Guilford County Planning Board on April 13. The

residents, who were joined by several other property owners in the Pleasant Oaks neighborhood and other nearby properties, were represented by Don Vaughn, an attorney based in Greens-boro. Guilford County Commissioner Justin Conrad, who represents District 3, was also present at the meeting.

that prohibits the unattended tethering/chaining of dogs in Guilford County effective March 1, 2014; the Towns of Stokesdale, Oak Ridge and Summerfield followed suit and updated their ordinanc-es accordingly. Residents were given 12 months to be educated about the ordinance and come into compliance.

As of Sept. 1, 2015, full enforcement of the ordinance began and civil penalties are

now issued for those not in compliance. Unattended tethering/chaining is

restraining a dog with a chain, cable, wire or other device to a tree, post or similar object without its owner present while the dog is tethered or chained.

In addition, the Guilford County Animal Ordinance Section 5-7 outlines how animals should be treated. Accord-ing to that ordinance, it is unlawful for

I have seen a dog on a chain near my neighborhood in Stokesdale. It has no housing

to protect it from the elements. I see no food or water bowl. Recently, on a cold day it was trying to sleep on a little scrap of material. As an animal lover, I am concerned. Are there any ways to get someone to check on this dog?

First, the Guilford County Board of Commissioners adopted an animal ordinance

Those with concerns about an ani-mal being mistreated or neglected are advised to contact Guilford County Ani-mal Control at (336) 641-5990. Just give us the address where the dog lives and we will dispatch one of our officers out to do a welfare check, says Beverly Blake, an office assistant.

Blake adds that you do not have to give your name when making the call.

Do the Town of Oak Ridge, its elected officials and employ-ees have an ethics code that

binds them to honest and ethical behavior? I cant find it anywhere.

Oak Ridges town manager, Bruce Oakley, confirmed that North Carolina General

Statutes require that all municipalities adopt an ethics resolution or policy for elected officials and the state requires them all to take two credit hours of ethics training after each election.

The Town of Oak Ridge complies completely with this law and a copy of the policy is available at anyones request,

Oakley said. Town employees are bound by conflict of interest, financial gain, and gifts and favor laws. The employees are also bound by the towns personnel policy, which covers many of the same areas. Furthermore, many of the town employees are members of professional organizations that require adherence to ethics codes that are stronger than whats required by law. During my tenure in Oak Ridge, I have only witnessed aboveboard and ethical behavior from all of the elected officials and employees.

This question has probably been asked before, but why are there no traffic lights at

the Fleming Road on/off ramps of eastbound Bryan Boulevard? Traffic, especially in the evenings, is very backed up trying to turn left onto Fleming Road.

Apparently others have noted this same problem, and we have some good news. Dawn

McPherson, a division traffic engineer with NCDOT, informed us that a signal at this location has been approved and funding has been identified. The signal will be installed by the City of Greensboro once we have entered into a municipal agreement allowing DOT to reimburse the City for the installa-tion costs they have provided to us, McPherson said.

jumps and pause tables in both the large and small dog areas.

More than just a fundraiser, Canine Capers offers a dog show, contests, demon-strations, rescue groups, a dog maze, dog-related vendors and delicious people food.

Patterned after regulation confirmation shows, the dog show is an all-breed fun match open to both purebreds and mixed breeds. Spayed and neutered dogs can be shown; no registration papers are required.

Both show dogs and those that have never set foot near a show ring can compete. Theres also a division for junior handlers ages 16 and under.

There are also a number of just-for-fun contests.

Weve expanded the number of events this year, says Lannon. We still have contests such as best trick, treat toss, ball retrieve and smallest and larg-est dog, but this year weve added best tail wagger, best kisser, celebrity look-alike and a few others.

While the dog shows are underway, Dog-Gone Fun will conduct agility and K-9 Nose Work demonstrations. Nancy Osborne, Oak Ridge resident and certified instructor, is running the K-9 Nose Work event. She describes it as a search and scent activity that dogs find fun and exhausting.

This years Canine Capers will feature seminars by local veterinarians on various canine health issues including nutrition, dental and basic first aid.

KCAH welcomes Dr. Nancy Dr. Angelique Fuller, owner of Kings

Crossing Animal Hospital in Stokesdale, is pleased to announce that Dr. Nancy Hesters has joined her practice.

Known to her clients as Dr. Nan-cy, Hesters has practiced veterinary medicine for 19 years. After earning a bachelors degree in business, she went on to earn her MBA from the Fort Bragg branch of Golden Gate University while serving as an airborne qualified officer

supporting the 82nd Airborne Division.

After leaving the Army, Hesters and her husband Allan moved to Raleigh, where she graduated from N.C. State University College of Veterinary Medicine.

Ten years later, the couple built Phoenix Animal Hospital in Gibsonville and established a flourishing practice. In 2015, they sold the practice to have more time for family and personal interests and Hesters has since been working in a relief capacity for other veterinarians.

Fuller says Hesters is a perfect fit for Kings Crossing Animal Hospital.

Dr. Nancy understands that for most people, their pet is a member of the family, says Fuller. She believes in good preventive care, but most of all, quality communication with families when a pet is ill. Clients should under-stand all their options when making decisions about an older or ill pet.

Hesters has extensive animal shelter experience, and has participated in two veterinary mission trips to the Honduras. Her hobbies include golf, walking her dog, Huey, reading, sitting by the fire pit, and traveling with Allan.

Softball team blasts past HPC, 21-0Northwest High

Schools senior Sarah Spence homered, drove in four runs and scored three runs in the 21-0 blowout win over High Point Central High School on March 24.

We have a lot of talent, said Spence. We work well as a team together. Weve come a long way since my fresh-man year.

Northwest head soft-ball coach Rick Shoe-maker said his team made a great effort all the way around.

We have a bunch of great kids, he said. And we have a great support group of parents and booster club behind us.

The varsity girls softball team, which is 6-1, 2-0 this season, will travel to Wilming-ton on April 2 to play Laney High School.

Becks crucial hit helps team clinch winNorthwest downs HPC, 4-3

It was the bottom of the seventh inning, Northwest High School had two outs and trailed High Point Central 3-2. After an inten-tional walk, senior Max Beck stepped up to the plate with one man on first base and one on second base.

Beck swung hard at the first pitch, and the ball flew over the head of the High Point Central centerfielder and hit the wall. Before the centerfielder could track the ball, North-west had scored two runs; the Vikings held on to finish the game on top, 4-3.

I wanted the opportunity and it came, said Beck. This was something you dont get to do every day. Its something Ill remember forever.

Kicking it up a notchJennifer Mun is in her element at

Bistro 150, and thoroughly enjoying herself. Her warm smile and genuine excitement to see customers old and new alike adds just the right touch to the restaurants hospitable atmosphere.

Jennifer and her husband, Clancy Laizure, took over this popular gather-ing place in Oak Ridge Commons just three months ago. Since that time, they have become well acquainted with existing customers while attracting new customers daily.

Though Jennifer has kept much of what has made Bistro 150 special, shes already imprinted the eatery with her own culinary style. As one who relishes the new and different, she enjoys pre-senting tasty, unique dishes. Those dish-es include macaroni and cheese, which gets a little kick with the addition of

lobster, and cauliflower cake made from finely chopped cauliflower complement-ed by three different cheeses.

Our chefs are really good at com-ing up with great ideas, says Jennifer. Our customers love it!

Something else Bistro customers

love is the new Sunday brunch, served from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Featuring signature dishes from $5.99 to $9.99, the menu includes everything from a traditional breakfast to eggs benedict. For the 10-and-under crowd, theres a special menu with such favorites as eggs and sausage, grilled cheese sandwiches and the ever-popular mac and cheese.

Tuesday specials are also a new offer-ing. On a recent Tuesday, the Bistro of-fered a meal featuring a hot dog, chips and a delectable slice of chocolate cake topped with whipped cream and drizzled

with chocolate fudge all for $5.99.

While she enjoys introducing new ideas, Jennifer is committed to keeping what her faithful customer base has valued for years, such as the live music every Friday and Saturday from 7-10 p.m.

People really enjoy listening to this music, she says. These local musi-cians have been around for a long time and were happy to have them.

Jennifer and Clancy live in Summer-field and have an adult son, Christo-pher, and an 11-year-old daughter, Olivia. When shes not in the Bistro, Jennifer enjoys exercising especially running. She also spends a couple of hours six days a week sitting with a friend who has Alzheimers.

Community discussion about trails is needed

I enjoy walking trails. I have walked along portions of trails in Summerfield and Greensboro, and more recently the Knight Brown Nature Preserve at Belews Lake. I also walk on local tracks, includ-ing the ones at Vulcan Quarry, Stokes-dale Elementary School, Stokesdale Town Hall and Oak Ridge Town Park. A friend and I have made trips to Hillsbor-ough and Elkin to see how other com-munities have incorporated trails into their towns, and we plan to visit more.

Im disappointed that the residents of our town have not been given the opportunity to make decisions about trails. When our mayor realized it might be time to seriously consider trails, he decided we dont need to call upon our citizens for input in that process. Dur-ing one town council meeting there was discussion, but many of us thought that was a beginning, not an end.

When discussing the elimination of the Trails Committee, along with other com-mittees, I saw that, too, as not the end but as a way to begin a process to see which committees we do need. I under-stood that former members could reapply

if they were still interested in participating, and that we would welcome new mem-bers, with the understanding that there would be various opinions shared.

I still hope we can have a community discussion about trails and connectiv-ity in our town. We need to hear from people who want to be involved. Each month prior to our town council meet-ings, we set aside time for citizen input. We rarely hear from anyone. Contact information for each of us is posted on the towns website. I know I have heard from very few citizens.

We mostly hear from people when they realize something is about to hap-pen that they dont like, and many times it is too late for anything to be done. I encourage all residents to keep track of what issues their elected representatives are addressing, and to let those repre-sentatives know how they feel about those issues. They could also let elected officials know what they see as issues that need to be addressed.

LETTERS/OPINIONS ...continued from p. 14 Why I donate bloodIf youve attended Oak Ridge Town

Council meetings or read the North-west Observers recaps over the past year, youll know Ive been encouraging everyone who is able to donate blood. Occasionally I have been asked why its so important to me. There are many reasons to donate blood, such as each donation can save three lives, there is no substitute for it yet, one in three of us will need blood, and free cookies.

But the biggest reason for me is my dad.

When I was growing up, my dad would come home a few times a year with a bandage on his arm. Coming from a large family, there was always at least one of us with endless questions such as, Why do you have a bandage on your arm, Dad? even before he sat down. He would answer, I donated blood. Which led to more questions, such as, Why did you do that?, How is it done? and Does it hurt? He would enthusiastically answer every time, To help others, The process is very simple, and (It hurts) only a pinch

when the needle goes in.

Dad talked about the need for blood during World War II, and explained that some of my brothers and sisters needed blood at times in their lives. Like many kids, we wanted to be like our parents, so a common question would then be When can I donate?

The enthusiasm that my dad showed about donating blood instilled in me that giving blood was in the same category as voting or helping others, something that if you could do you should do. So as soon as I was eligible I donated blood and I have donated blood or platelets as often as I can since.

Please donate blood if you are able, and set an example like my dad did. Oak Ridge United Methodist Church has a blood drive the second Monday of every even month; the next one will be April 11. Central Baptist has a blood drive on June 1. You can also contact the Red Cross for other options.

Cyclists should stay off the roadsSpring is here and once again vehicle

drivers will have to contend with bicyclists and moped riders on the roads. This should not be an issue, since nothing but motorized vehicles such as cars, trucks and motorcycles that can reach a certain

speed should even be on the roadways.Most of the roads in Greensboro and

in this area were planned and established 30, 40 or 50 years ago. I am willing to bet they were planned for vehicular traffic cars, trucks and motorcycles that are able

just as ones political, religious or racial views should not come into play in the classroom.

With this said, the main question I have is, when did feelings and beliefs in oneself replace fact and reality? Yes, we all have feelings and beliefs, but the fact remains, there are only two sexes, male and female. That is proven through science and if one wishes to claim otherwise, then all sciences and sexual education should be removed from the curriculums in our schools.

Also to clarify, the reality is that this man will never be a female, just as a woman can never be a man. Biologically, this is not possible and to teach other-wise is irresponsible.

In addition, if this man truly believes himself to be female, why did he first come to the school as a male, using Mr. as part of his name, but the second day, in the same class, come as a female ask-

ing to be called Ms.? Studies in the medical world have

proven that the human brain is not fully developed until age 25, yet the GCS policy not only expects their students to accept this mans feelings over reality, but also to completely understand. How is this possible when many young people are just trying to understand their own sexuality?

Lets take this a bit further regard-ing male and female bathrooms/locker rooms. Does this mans belief that he is a female give him the right to enter and disrobe in the girls bathroom/locker room without any regard to the safety and privacy of actual females? The same can be said for male bathrooms/locker rooms. How about the rights of his fellow teachers?

GCS needs to rethink its policies for the well-being of all.

to achieve a certain speed, not slower mopeds and certainly not bicycles.

The law states that bicycles have the right to be on the roads. That is unfortu-nate, because that does not make it safe, especially when the speed limit is over 35 mph on a two-lane road. Think about it!

Bicyclists need to find a safer place to ride that was made for bicycling and walking. There are trails, parks and some roads that are wider than normal (Westridge Road and Cornwallis Drive in Greensboro, for example) and are marked with a bicycle lane.

Moped riders need to do the same thing. I know some people use these

modes of transportation to get to and from work. Take the bus. It is safer.

I never want to hear of a pedestrian, runner or bicyclist getting hurt or worse, killed. But these people are putting them-selves in harms way. What makes them think they are any match for a motorized vehicle that will be traveling at anywhere from 35 mph to 65 mph when they are only doing 10 to 15 mph?

Just because it is a law does not make it safe. Bicycles and mopeds, stay off the roads! Runners and walkers, pay attention to traffic when trying to cross a road and cross at intersections! Its as simple as that!

presented. The town hopes to adopt its budget for next fiscal year at the June 14 town council meeting.

Summerfield has a current operat-ing budget of $1.95 million. The town levies a property tax of 2.75 cents per $100 property valuation, which will likely remain unchanged next fiscal year.

At a special called meeting on Feb. 9,Oak Ridge Town Council discussed capital improvement projects and other budget-related items for next fiscal year. The towns Finance Committee met twice in February and again in March to review the current fiscal years $1.3 mil-lion line-item budget and discuss budget-related needs and committee requests for the 2016-2017 fiscal year.

A proposed budget will be pre-sented at the May 5 town council meeting (7 p.m. at Oak Ridge Town Hall); citizens will have an opportunity to comment on the budget after the

presentation. A second opportunity for public comments on the budget will be provided at the June 2 town council meeting, after which the council hopes to approve the budget for next fiscal year.

Oak Ridges property tax rate of 8.63 cents per $100 property valuation will likely remain unchanged next fiscal year.

Stokesdale Town Council, whose members all serve on the towns Finance Committee, has also begun working on developing its budget for the 2016-2017 fiscal year. The committees next budget workshop is scheduled on Friday, April 1, 3:15 p.m. at Stokesdale Town Hall, 8325 Angel Pardue Road.

The Town of Stokesdale does not levy a property tax and has a current general fund budget of $365,650.

All budget-related meetings are open to the public.

BUDGETS ...continued from p. 1

The meeting centered around the developers request to rezone 70.37 acres of property at the end of Rambling Road from RS-40 (minimum lot size of 40,000 square feet) to RS-30 (minimum lot size of 30,000 square feet).

Smaller lots would be incompatible with their existing neighborhood, which has average lot sizes of 1.874 acres, resi-dents said. The RS-30 zoning would also allow developers to get more homes on the property than would be possible with RS-40 zoning, thus putting more stress on the water recharge rate and traffic.

Lyons presented the residents with alternative development plans for the Rambling Road property, one each for RS-40 and RS-30 zoning, and explained his companys reasons for preferring the RS-30 zoning. Though houses would be built on smaller lots, the positive trade-off, he said, is that lots would be more desirable because instead of them

backing up to each other, many of them would back up to 15 to 20 wooded acres that includes two streams and will remain as undeveloped common space.

Most neighborhoods in Guilford County today have RS-30 zoning that includes neighborhoods where home val-ues are touching $600,000 and more, Lyons said. You can make it a very nice development. He anticipates lot prices in the Rambling Road neighborhood to begin at $70,000.

The developers and residents have met once more since the March 23 meeting. They had some very valid questions and we answered them, Lyons said. Between now and the April 13 Planning Board meeting, he said he and Dischinger will work on adding conditions to the rezoning that will ensure the value of the Rambling Road neighborhood.

It is going to be a work in progress, but I feel very good about it he said.
