Harvick, Daughtry leaving Oak Ridge

bringing the local news home to northwest Guilford County since 1996 www.nwobserver.com

by ANNETTE JOYCEOAK RIDGE – Two of Oak Ridge’s most famous residents are leaving the area. While NASCAR race car driver Kevin Harvick’s home has been on the market since July, rocker Chris Daughtry’s home went up for sale last week and was under contract the following day.

Located at 8419 Haw River Road, the Harvick estate features a European-style home with nearly 12,000 square feet of living space, a second build-ing, pool, cabana and almost 21 acres of land.

The house, listed at $3.5 million, is being mar-keted by Tyler, Redhead and McAlister Real Estate in Greensboro.

Harvick and his wife, DeLana, purchased the vacant property in 2004 and completed construction on the home in 2006. During this time, they acquired additional acreage around the property. About 133 acres of land surround-ing the home have since been rezoned to allow two housing developments to be built.

In an article in The News and Record, Harvick said he and his family will move to Charlotte to be closer to family. He races for Stewart-Hass Racing, which is located just outside of the Queen City.

Chris and Deanna Daughtry’s home, which is being marketed by Realtors Angie Wilkie and Doug Pollet of Allen Tate Realty in Greensboro, is located just down the road at 8488 Haw River

Second annualmotorcycle charity ride

on Sept. 20 to raise funds and awareness for Alzheimer’s

by KRISTIN KUBLY

SUMMERFIELD – On Saturday, Sept. 20, the West-ern Carolina Chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association will hold their second annual Ride to Remember. Starting at First Baptist Church in Summerfield, the 70-mile and police-escorted motorcycle charity ride supports the Alzheimer’s Association.

In 2013, about 75 bikers participated in the

area’s first Ride to Remember, which raised about $5,000.

The ride originated with motorcyclists accom-panying walkers during the annual Walk to End Alzheimer’s in Greensboro. Because the walk is about a mile long, last year the foundation de-cided to offer a separate experience for bikers.

Event coordinator Charlotte Stoll, whose mother had Alzheimer’s, expects over 100 bikers this year and hopes to double the amount raised last year. All of the donated proceeds will go to Alzheimer’s As-sociation to help families dealing with the disease.

Most people know someone who has been

A 9/11 remembrance ceremony was held Sept. 6 at Linear Park in downtown Stokesdale. From L to R: First responders and Stokesdale fi remen Will Sorrell, Matt Holliday and Michael Sellers were presented with a Flag of Honor, which includes the names of those who perished in the terrorist attacks of 9/11. A total of 2,975 lives were lost in the four hijacked jets that crashed into the North and South Tower of the World Trade Center in New York City, the Pentagon in Washington, D.C. and a fi eld near Shanksville, Pennsylvania.

NEWS in brief

... News Briefs continued on p. 14

Citizen requests ordinance to prohibit door-to-door solicitorsOAK RIDGE – John Gudat is asking the town to take action against door-to-door solicitors. A resident of the Foxbury com-munity, Gudat spoke at the Sept. 4 Oak Ridge Town Council meeting and said a man and woman had come to his door the prior week saying they were selling magazines; when he declined, the couple aggressively asked for a donation.

Gudat called the police, but was told that because Oak Ridge doesn’t have an ordinance prohibiting door-to-door solicitation, nothing could be done. After doing some research, Gudat found that criminals often pose as solicitors while scoping out houses, or to get unsuspect-ing residents to open their doors.

“Burglars have been known to use these ruses to find out who is home in the neighborhood and who is away, if women or the elderly are home by themselves, or if anyone is home at all,” said Gudat. “Somebody can gain a lot of information

just by walking up to the door.”

Gudat asked the town to adopt an ordinance prohibiting door-to-door solicitation.

Mayor Pro Tem Spencer Sullivan noted that posting a “No Solicitation” sign gives the police authority to take action. Gudat explained he wasn’t only concerned about himself and his neigh-borhood, but the community at large.

In response, Sullivan asked the town manager to look into the matter and bring back a recommendation.

Councilman Mike Stone said he knew of communities with ordinances that required solicitors to get a solicitation license at Town Hall so the authorities were aware of who was in town selling door-to-door.

“It’s serious and it’s one of those things we need to be concerned about,” said Stone.

Athletic park usage fees debatedSUMMERFIELD – Several citizens spoke during the Public Comments period of Summerfield Town Council’s Sept. 9 meeting. Most expressed opinions about the town’s decision to raise the rates Summerfield Recreation Association (SRA) pays to use facilities at Summer-field Athletic Park (SAP).

The town council voted in February 2012 to discount SRA’s fees for using the new athletic park, which had opened five months earlier. Fees were not discussed between the two parties again until last March, so by default the discounted fees remained in effect.

Since opening in September 2011, the athletic park has operated at a deficit; last year the park’s operating expenses exceeded its revenue by about $70,000.

That fact, combined with a history of challenges between the town and SRA, and an increased demand for the athletic park facilities, prompted the finance com-mittee’s decision this past spring to bring SRA’s usage fees for the athletic park in line with what other organizations pay.

One of the largest points of conten-tion was that not only did the town in-crease SRA’s usage fees, but it decided to charge the organization the higher, non-resident rate after saying that only 29 percent of SRA participants live within the town limits; to qualify for a resident rate, 60 percent of participants in an organiza-tion must live within the town limits.

traffic will be traveling on the new lanes that are being constructed,” Ferguson added. “When the entire project is complete, motorists will be able to make all turns from Strawberry Road that they are currently making.”

As an update, Norris said there is still much work to complete before the seg-ment of Strawberry Road that intersects with U.S. 220 is closed for the traffic switch.

“I would say that if the weather stays nice it may be the end of November (when the southern portion of Straw-berry Road is closed), but realistically it will be next year,” said Norris.

DOT just added a turn lane on N.C. 68 at Prince Edward Road. There aren’t a lot of

houses on that particular road right now, but I’ve heard there’s a develop-ment in the works. Is that the reason the turn lane was added? ... continued on p. 11

A few months ago you wrote about the southern end of Strawberry Road, where it

intersects with U.S. 220, saying that it will be closed for a period of time due to road construction. I think you said that would happen sometime this fall – is there any update as to exactly when that will happen?

First, we normally would have taken this question to Darrell Ferguson, district engineer with

NCDOT, who has answered so many of our questions in the last few years; however, Ferguson recently retired, so we’ll now be turning to Bobby Norris, also a district engineer with NCDOT.

For those readers who may have missed what we published in July about plans for this location, the southern end of Strawberry Road at its intersection with U.S. 220 is being raised approxi-mately 3.5 feet.

“This is necessary to meet current design standards required on that type of highway,” Ferguson explained to us a few months ago. “In order to complete the work to raise this intersection, Straw-berry Road will be closed for 30 days so that the contractor can complete the work to raise the new road to the final elevation. Traffic will be required to use N.C. 150 during this time period.

Mayor Ray Combs was traveling, so Spencer Sullivan, mayor pro tem, pre-sided over the monthly meeting.

ANNOUNCEMENTS Council member Jim Kinneman said

the annual Oak Ridge Lions Club golf tournament would be held Oct. 11 at Pleasant Ridge Golf Course. Players and sponsors are needed; proceeds will ben-efit the sight and hearing impaired and other local community projects.

Dr. Danny Nobles, president of Oak Ridge Military Academy, updated the council on what is happening at the school. For more, see News Briefs, page 3.

TOWN MANAGER’S REPORT Town Manager Bruce Oakley an-

nounced the annual NCDOT Fall Litter Sweep will be Sept. 20 - Oct. 4. Groups in-terested in participating can contact Town Hall or the DOT for more information.

Oakley requested Pam Morrison be appointed as an alternate to the Parks and Recreation Commission. He also requested Sandra Smith be appointed to

represent Oak Ridge on the ABC Board, clarifying that she would serve on the board as a citizen, not in her capacity as town clerk. Both appointments were ap-proved unanimously.

OLD BUSINESS Planning Director Bill Bruce asked

council to appoint members to the Land Use Plan Steering Committee, which will be charged with reviewing and updating the town’s land use plan; the committee will meet monthly, and all meetings will be open to the public.

The public will be invited to offer input through town staff, through committee members and at two community-wide open houses to be held during the next year.

The committee will have three repre-sentatives from the Planning and Zoning Board, including one from the extra-territorial jurisdiction (ETJ), and one repre-sentative from several town commissions and boards. The council will also appoint three at-large members.

Each of the boards nominated a member, and applications were received

Sept. 4 / MEETING HIGHLIGHTSas reported by KRISTIN KUBLY

OAK RIDGE town councilfor the three at-large members.

The council approved the following representatives to the steering committee: Planning and Zoning Board members Ron Simpson, Nancy Stoudemire and Larry Stafford (ETJ); Board of Adjust-ment member, Jay Cumbus; Parks and Recreation Commission member, Phyllis Anders; Historic Preservation Commission member, Ann Schneider; Merchants As-sociation of Oak Ridge member, Mickey Tingen; building and real estate industry representative, Bob Dischinger; Sandra Smith to represent the farming/agricul-tural community and longtime residents; council-appointed at-large representatives Ed Treacy, Rich Spiker and Brian Eichlin.

Sullivan noted someone from the Pedestrian Plan Committee may be ap-pointed at a later date.

Councilman Mike Stone thanked the newly appointed volunteers and encour-aged Jasmine O’Connell and Steve Holmes, who were not selected, to apply to other committees that need mem-bers. He also emphasized public input is welcome.

CITIZEN COMMENTS Denise Francisco, principal of Oak

Ridge Elementary School, thanked the council for funding two police officers to assist with traffic control during the first two weeks of school, saying the officers had made “a world of difference.”

Francisco said the school is 49 students over enrollment projections, and she was happy to see the numbers increasing. The school plans to hire two new teachers to accommodate the ad-ditional students.

John Gudat, a resident of the Foxbury neighborhood, said a man and woman had come to his door in the previous week selling magazines, and when he said he didn’t want any, they aggressively asked for a donation.

Gudat said he was told by police that because Oak Ridge doesn’t have a solicitation ordinance, there was nothing they could do. Criminals looking for empty

houses, or hoping to get unsuspecting res-idents to open their doors, often pose as solicitors, Gudat said, expressing concern not just for himself but for the community. He then asked the council to establish an ordinance prohibiting solicitation.

Sullivan noted that putting a “No Solicitation” sign on a private home or at a neighborhood entrance gives the police a legal right to take action. He asked the town staff to look into the matter and make a recommendation to the council.

Doug Nodine announced Preservation Oak Ridge will hold a barbecue dinner and silent auction on Oct. 3 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at Oak Ridge United Methodist Church. He asked that residents donate items and attend the event, which is a fund-raiser for the Ai Church restoration project.

Nodine also gave an update on the church restoration, saying doors have been hung and a few carpentry items need to be completed before the siding can go up.

FINANCIAL UPDATE Town Finance Officer Sam Anders

said the town recently received $458,990 in property tax revenue for collections as of Aug. 31. After the July transfer, Guilford County Finance Department discovered it had incorrectly coded the prior month’s distribution, which made the transfer $5,682.98 too much; the er-ror was corrected in August.

Installation and conversion of new accounting software is in progress, and when completed will enable the town to generate more detailed reports.

The annual audit will get underway the week of Sept. 15.

Anders requested Oakley and Smith be appointed as deputy finance officers to comply with a state law requiring that financial documents have two signa-tures, one from administration and one from finance.

Stone asked why the house at the corner of Linville Road and Lisa Drive, next to the town park, is not being de-preciated like other town-owned proper-

ties not being used. Anders explained that as a condition of purchase, the town bought the property at 8300 Linville Road with retained life interest on the occupant of the house; so, while the town owns the land and the house, it is not being used for town functions. When the lifetime right terminates, the house will become a town asset and will depre-ciate for bookkeeping purposes.

4 0 to approve the financial statement; the vote was also 4-0 to approve Oakley and Smith as deputy finance officers.

COMMUNITY UPDATESFire Department. Reporting for the Oak Ridge Fire Department, Anders said the annual firemen’s barbecue will be held Saturday, Oct. 4. All-you-can-eat plates with all the fixings will be served from 4 p.m. until sold out.

Anders also reminded citizens to hydrate in hot weather and to change smoke detector batteries. The fire de-partment offers CPR classes for groups of 12 to 25.

Planning and Zoning. Nodine reported that a three-lot subdivision was approved unanimously at the last P&Z meeting. The board also approved the site plan for the Lowes Foods expansion.

Board of Adjustment. Chair Beth Walker reported the board had one hearing in August. The board voted 3-2 to grant a requested variance, but because it did not have a supermajority, the variance was not granted. Walker stressed the need for more alternates on the board.

Historic Preservation Commission. Ron Simpson said JPC Monroe LLC had asked to make modifications to the front of the Lowes Foods building. After much discus-sion, the developer has agreed to resubmit the application with some revisions.

Simpson commended Mac McAtee and Sandra Smith for creating the first historic exhibit in the display case in the town hall lobby. The exhibit is about Lake Carolina, a public recreational facility once located near the military academy.

Simpson also invited the council and public to attend the historic marker dedica-tion at the J.L. Sawyer house, 2421 Oak Ridge Road, on Saturday, Sept. 13, at 3 p.m.

Parks and Recreation. Chair Bill Edwards said the commission has met with Stew-art, Inc., an engineer, design and plan-ning firm, to discuss Phase 2 of the town park; Phase 2 will include an amphithe-ater and an additional restroom facility. The project is expected to be completed around April 1, 2015.

Edwards also announced Will Lindon’s Eagle Scout project for another bridge for the mountain bike trail, and said how proud he is to have the Scouts involved in projects at the park.

The Bark Park subcommittee is getting pricing for materials for exercising and training dogs at the dog park.

The Tyler Millard Band, a blues and pop band, will perform at the last Music in the Park event of this year, on Saturday, Sept. 20, from 6-8:30 p.m.

COUNCIL COMMENTS Councilman George McClellan noted

Northwest Guilford High School was one of 14 schools in the district to have higher than a 90-percent graduation rate.

Kinneman said he was glad the mili-tary academy seems to be making such good progress.

After listing all the upcoming com-munity activities, Stone said, “When you walk into Oak Ridge, you can’t say ‘There’s nothing to do.’”

Noting the ALS ice bucket challenge he participated in at the Northwest Observer office, Stone urged people to donate to the local non-profit, Hope for Tomorrow (www.hopefortomorrownc.org).

Thanking Gudat for bringing the issue up, Stone said he agreed the town should have regulations asking solicitors to get a license at Town Hall.

Sullivan thanked all the town’s volun-teers and asked everyone to pay atten-tion to school buses on the roads.

With no further business, the meeting adjourned at 8:15 p.m.

Recently retired at age 84, Liz Tice is still blazing a trail

by ANNETTE JOYCEAs one of the area’s most prominent

Realtors, Liz Tice’s photo has appeared on ads, billboards and business cards throughout northwest Guilford County and beyond for almost four decades. Many people may not realize, though, what a force this longtime Oak Ridge resident has been in helping shape the community she so dearly loves.

Tice, 84, grew up on a dairy farm in Guilford College during WWII. Back then, there was a U.S. Army base in Greens-boro where soldiers were stationed before shipping out overseas. Wives would come into town to be with their husbands before the men left for war. Often there

were children who had no place to stay.

Tice remembers her mother agreeing to “take in one or two children.” Those numbers grew into the hundreds when her mother, Elizabeth Cranford Dockery, started building cabins and established Hickory Dockery Camp.

“Sometimes there were as many as 65 children, some staying for two to six weeks at a time,” says Tice, who at age 11 started teaching horseback riding les-sons at the camp.

That 57-acre farm across from Guilford College is now home to Friends Homes at Guilford.

Although she grew up “just down the road” in Greensboro, Tice’s ties to Oak Ridge go way back. Her father, Claudius Dockery, graduated from Oak Ridge Mili-tary Institute in 1920 and later purchased land and a bass lake on Benbow-Merrill Road, allowing the family to stay close to the Oak Ridge community.

At 15, Tice rode in the first Oak Ridge Horse Show. That was in the spring of 1945, and it led to many years of her par-ticipating both in the show ring and helping organize the annual horse show. Though the horse show has been on sabbatical the last two springs, Tice is still vice-chairwom-an of the horse show committee.

After graduating from Greensboro High School, Tice set her sights on UNC-Chapel Hill. In 1948, women were not allowed to attend the university during their freshman and sophomore years, so

Long-time resident makes imprint on Oak Ridge

Liz Tice and Doodle Bug are well-known around

Oak Ridge.

she completed her first two years of undergraduate work at Stratford Col-lege, an all-women’s school in Danville, Virginia, then moved to Chapel Hill. She graduated from UNC in 1952 with a sociology degree.

That year brought about a lot of changes in Tice’s life. She married Walt Tice, who left one week after their wedding day to serve in the Korean War.

She also took a job with N.C. Children’s Home Society as a caseworker, and stayed there until Walt returned from the war and completed his studies at Chapel Hill.

In 1957, Walt joined AT&T and began a tour of relocations that would take the couple across the country. Within a decade they lived in New Jersey, Ohio, Indiana, North Carolina, Tennessee and Georgia. It was during this time that Tice became an expert at packing and mov-ing, a skill that would later serve her well in her real estate business.





It was also during those 10 years that the Tice family grew to include two chil-dren, Tom and Beth.

When the company offered Walt an opportunity to relocate to New York City, the family decided it was time to come back home and establish roots. They packed up one last time and moved back to the place Tice loved so much – the property that included her father’s bass lake in Oak Ridge.

Tice and her two children have many fond memories of living in Oak Ridge. One that Tom likes to tell on his mother involves the Oak Ridge Fire Department, which used the lake as a water source. Tom says that when the volunteer firefight-ers showed up at night, his mother would always feed them – on one condition.

“She would feed them as long as they’d let her ride on the truck,” Tom laughs. Tice denies the part about riding on the truck, but her smile tells a different story.

During this time, Tice was instrumental in forming a local swim club.

“I had two children who didn’t have anything to do and I had to find some-thing,” she says. She and Walt discussed the idea with Buster Linville and others in the community, who worked together to start the Oak Ridge Swim Club.

Around this same time, Walt started Tice Realty, which is how Tice got involved with the real estate industry. Looking back on her 36-year career in real estate, she has nothing but positive things to say about it.

“I love working with people and that’s why I went into real estate,” she says. “A good portion of my friends are past clients.”

Over the years, Tice’s tenacity and can-do attitude have seen her through many changes in the real estate market. She remembers when real estate transac-tions required only a single sheet of paper, whereas today, mountains of paperwork and electronic transmissions are the norm. She’s survived sky-high interest rates and the Great Recession.

A $100 million producer, Tice has had her hand in selling some of the area’s most beautiful horse farms and housing developments and has received numer-

ous awards, including the Barbara Tate Legendary Service Award, the most prestigious award that Allen Tate Realty presents to its agents.

Along with her love of real estate, Tice is an animal lover and has a special affec-tion for dogs and horses. There aren’t too many times you’ll see her without Doodle Bug, a lovable Golden Doodle who has been a big part of both her business and personal life.

In fact, her professional Realtor photo includes Doodle Bug. You’ll find potty stations in the Oak Ridge Town Park that have been donated by the twosome. They also are members of Pet Partners and have spent hours in local schools helping young children learn to read.

“Children that are afraid to read in front of their classmates will read to Doodle Bug,” says Tice. “She sits patiently and listens.”

As a member of Oak Ridge’s dog park committee, Tice has been involved in cre-ating a place where owners can socialize and bring their dogs for off-leash exercise.

She was also a founding member and elder of Oak Ridge Presbyterian Church, a former Girl Scout leader, and served on the Oak Ridge Parks and Recreation Commission.

Among all of her accomplishments, Tice’s children feel that one of her biggest is that of surviving cancer. At age 83, she was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Although the odds were against her, she survived surgery, radiation and chemo. Re-peated tests show that the cancer is gone.

Although still associated with Allen Tate, Tice retired from real estate in June. But that doesn’t mean she’s satisfied with just sitting and watching the world go by. Plans for how to spend her time include getting back to reading with Doodle Bug and being involved with making enhance-ments to the dog park.

She also wants to spend more time with her family, which now includes two grandchildren and a great-grandson, all of whom live in the area.

“I’m very fortunate I’ve had, and con-tinue to have, a great life,” she says.

touched by Alzheimer’s disease, whether as a patient or caregiver. The most com-mon cause of dementia, Alzheimer’s, affects as many as 5.3 million people in the United States; according to Alzheim-er’s Association, the disease is the sixth leading cause of death in our country.

Andrea Osborne knows how devastat-ing an Alzheimer’s diagnosis can be. Her mother, Colfax resident Shirley Hodgin, was diagnosed four years ago at age 64.

Despite Hodgin showing early symp-toms such as forgetfulness and confusion, her family initially shrugged the symptoms off. It was when her mother forgot to call on her 40th birthday that Osborne began to get concerned.

The family visited Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center, where Hodgin received her diagnosis of early onset Alzheimer’s.

While the initial diagnosis was devas-tating, Osborne said her family’s outlook remained optimistic. Her father, Andy

Hodgin, immediately retired and has de-voted himself to being a full-time caregiver.

“I’ve been so amazed and proud of my dad,” said Osborne. “His No. 1 goal is for my mom to be happy and to feel good and secure and loved.

“Nothing else matters.”The whole family immediately began

making adjustments after the diagnosis. “Mom was the absolute hub of our

family,” said Osborne. “Our rock couldn’t play that role anymore, and my dad, brother and I had this whole new world.

“But we love her so much that every-one has rallied around her.”

Even Hodgin has found a silver lining in her diagnosis.

“Mom will say, ‘Getting Alzheimer’s has been somewhat of a gift because I’ve seen how many people love me and how many people support me,” said Osborne. “And I might not have known that without it.

“It’s a blessing.”Through the Alzheimer’s Association,

the family found support and made con-nections with other families experiencing

the same issues while preserving their positive attitude.

“The one thing that has helped me more than anything is talking to other people who are going through it,” said Osborne. “They get it, and they can be compassionate to how I’m feeling.”

Osborne, a musician, got involved with the association when she decided to record a CD of songs for her mother.

“Music is my way of coping with the world, and I’m a big believer in the power of music to heal and to calm,” she said. “It was the first thing I thought of when Mom was diagnosed.”

She originally planned to record her voice for her mother to listen to, but then she got the idea of using the CD as a fundraiser for Alzheimer’s research. The result was “Together We’ll Go,” a collection of 14 songs of “healing, hope and love.”

Like the Ride to Remember, all pro-ceeds from the CD sales will benefit the Alzheimer’s Association of North Carolina.

High Point resident Chris Wynne is another caregiver who has benefited from

the Alzheimer’s Association. Her husband, Gary, was diagnosed almost two years ago with early onset Alzheimer’s at age 57.

Gary’s symptoms actually began years ago. Because he was so young, his inabil-ity to focus and multitask was misdiag-nosed as adult attention deficit disorder.

“They say by the time Alzheimer’s is di-agnosed, you’ve probably been living with it for 10 years,” said Wynne. “Early onset is commonly misdiagnosed as ADD in young adults because of the lack of focus.”

When her husband lost his sales job in 2011 because he couldn’t learn a new software system, Wynne knew they needed to visit a doctor.

After Gary’s diagnosis, the Wynnes began volunteering with the Alzheimer’s Association. They are currently working with the association to lobby the North Carolina Legislature to develop an of-ficial state Alzheimer’s plan. North Caro-lina is one of only a handful of states without such a plan.

Wynne and Osborne agreed that having a loved one with Alzheimer’s has

plan being submitted for review. It is the number and severity of ac-

cidents at this location within a five-year period that was the primary reason for the turn lane, Ferguson confirmed.

In July and September 2013, two trucks rolled over after trying to avoid hitting cars that were stopped in the northbound lane waiting to turn left onto Prince Edward Road.

One of those accidents involved a fatality.

“In addition to those two accidents, six more accidents occurred during that (five-year) time period,” Ferguson said.

“All involved vehicles rear-ending a vehicle waiting to turn left onto Prince Edward Road. That is a total of eight accidents that could have been pre-vented if a left turn lane had been in place.”

Ferguson said the department started assessing the problem at this intersection last September, shortly after the accident that resulted in the fatality.

The new development on Prince Edward Road will initially consist of only 11 lots, but has the potential to have as many as 101 lots if all phases are ap-proved and completed.

shifted their perspectives on life.

“It’s all about being where they are, being in the moment,” said Osborne. “That’s the biggest gift that Alzheimer’s has given me, is just appreciating now.”

“We try to take it one day at a time and enjoy each day because we don’t know how many more we’re going to have,” Wynne echoed. “And certainly talking about it … with our friends has been the greatest thing that we could have ever done.”

Wynne, Osborne and Stoll all agree the Alzheimer’s Association is a valu-able resource for families and ask that individuals join them in fighting this disease, whether through participating in the Ride to Remember on Sept. 20, purchasing Osborne’s CD or donating to the Alzheimer’s Association.

“We want to help raise the aware-ness level and try to encourage ongo-ing financial support for research and hopefully find a cure for this disease,” confirmed Wynne.

HIGH SCHOOL SPORTS

Nighthawks roll over Vikings 35 -12 Sept. 5: Northern Guilford (2-0) vs. Northwest Guilford (2-1)

Northern 7 | 14 | 7 | 7 || 35Northwest 3 | 3 | 6 | 0 || 12

by L.A. LOGANNorthern’s senior defensive back and

wide receiver Mook Reynolds opened the game with a 93 -yard kickoff return for a touchdown and took a 7-0 lead within the first 13 seconds of the game.

“We wanted to set the tone as a championship team,” said Reynolds af-ter the game. “Offensively, Cam (Harris) and CJ (Freeman) are doing their thing. Our defensive line is doing their thing. So I took it upon myself to make an im-pact on special teams and that’s exactly what we did. I followed my blocks and took the kickoff to the crib.”

Northwest head football coach Jared Rolfes said his first thought after Reyn-olds’ kickoff return was, “Why did we just kick it to Mook?”

“Then two seconds later I saw the Red Sea part and I knew he was gone.”

Heading into the fourth quarter, the score was 28-12. The Vikings vied for another comeback after senior quar-terback Josh Homol completed a pass on third and 19 to senior wide receiver Mark Garner for 35 yards that put the Vikings within striking distance for a potential score.

But on the next set of downs, the home team was assessed a holding pen-alty on first down, and on third and long

Homol was sacked, which forced a punt on fourth and 30, just when the Vikings had an opportunity to shift the game’s momentum.

“I need to make smarter decisions in and out of the pocket,” said Homol. “I just need to throw the ball away to avoid taking sacks and drive killers.”

Notable Stats | Northern’s senior de-fensive lineman Jeremiah McCoy earned six of the Nighthawks’ 11 sacks for the night. Junior running back CJ Freeman added 251 yards on the ground.

Northwest’s sophomore wide receiver Thomas Hennigan reeled in 10 catches for 176 yards and scored Northwest’s only touchdown from a Homol pass. Homol went 24/32 for 294 yards and a touchdown, and Garner caught six passes for 81 yards.

Breakdown | After the opening kickoff, Northern refused to look back as they did in Week 1 against Page. Despite giv-ing up yards early to Northwest’s pass-ing attack, the defense settled in and shut down Northwest’s running backs.

Freeman scampered for two second-half touchdowns to seal the deal for the Nighthawks, while the McCoy-led defense kept the Vikings scoreless for the final 14 minutes of the game.

“We’re going to keep the intensity,” said McCoy. “We’re a championship team and that’s our goal. Whoever steps on the field on Friday, we’re coming for them.”field on Friday, we’re coming for them.”

Stat of the week | The Nighthawks’ defense held the Vikings to a season-low 12 points in four red zone attempts – two field goals, one fumble and a touchdown.

“That is recipe for a loss against a team that good,” said head football coach Jared Rolfes. “We moved the ball down the field, but struggled in the red zone. Some of that is due to a lack in the abil-ity to run the ball.”

Turning Point | With six minutes left in the second quarter, the Nighthawks defense recovered a Vikings fumble on the 3-yard-line that shifted the game’s momentum in favor of the away team.

“Knowing their predictabilities … al-lowed us to get the (interception), which would have set up a huge score for us, but we fumbled a few plays later,” Rolfes said.

Hot | Northern’s offense continues to look fluid as senior quarterback Cam Harris runs the show. Harris involved his weapons, while still using his ath-letic ability in open field, which created havoc for the Vikings defense.

Northwest’s Garner and Hennigan remain valuable playmakers for Homol. The three combined for several comple-tions as Homol escaped pressure and found both targets for huge gains down the field.

Not | Similar to last week, Northern had an abundance of penalties and several offensive plays that would have been big if they had not been called back be-cause of the yellow flags.

Northwest failed to cross the goal line three out of four tries in the red zone. The Vikings’ rushing attack perished in comparison to the first two games of the season. None of the team’s running backs were able to catch a rhythm.

Good Move | Harris scrambled for a 20-yard score seconds before halftime, increasing Northern’s lead 21 -6. The defensive coordinator also dialed up the

pressure on Northwest’s Homol, forcing him into swift decisions.

Shout Out | To the Northern fanatics who were present at the game an hour and a half before kickoff. As I entered R.L. Billings Stadium at 6:15 p.m., the first thing I noticed was the massive ar-ray of camouflage on the visitor’s side of the stadium.

Next Week | Williams (2 -1) will host Northern on Friday, Sept. 10, in a con-ference battle. Northern’s only recorded loss against Williams came last year with their second forfeit of the season in a game that had Northern on top, 49-7.

Northwest welcomes Reidsville (3-0) to R.L. Billings Stadium on Friday, Sept. 10. The two teams met on the field for the first time last year, and Northwest won decisively, 42-14.

“We have to clean up the areas we struggled in and go get this one,” said Rolfes. “Our emphasis is to win the ball game by doing the little things this week.”

PLAYER/COACH QUOTESNorthern’s Mook Reynolds (senior WR/DB) | “We trust our (offensive) line. We trust our coach. We just come out to ex-ecute.” On the penalties his team took, Reynolds said, “We must be smarter. Most of our penalties are mental mis-takes like jumping offsides. We just got to be smart.”

Northern’s Jeremiah McCoy (senior DL) | “Our coaches prepare us well defensively. We’re always ready to play physical.”

Northwest’s Coach Rolfes | “We lost to a good football team. Very good athletes made up for their mistakes and took advantage of ours. Northern is really good, and they made some things tough on us. We are getting better every week, which I praised our guys for even though we lost.”

speaking on behalf of SRA at the Sept. 9 meeting, offered several excerpts from the town’s comprehensive plan that was adopted in 2010.

“The Town shall pro-actively work with organizations that provide recre-ational programming to Summerfield residents to meet the recreational needs of the community,” Lovett read from page 61 of the plan. “I find the actions of the town’s finance committee … to be counter to the ‘proactively working with’ portion of this policy,” Lovett said.

Not every citizen at the meeting sup-ported SRA’s position. Karen Knight said she pulled SRA’s annual tax return from the internet and saw no reason why the organization should pay less than what

other organizations using the athletic park facilities pay.

After the council extended the Public Comment period to allow everyone who wished to speak an opportunity to do so, Mayor Tim Sessoms said the town council and staff members recognize the value SRA brings to the children, and the hard work and countless volunteer hours that go into the programs the organization offers.

Sessoms encouraged SRA represen-tatives to meet with Jeff Goard, Sum-merfield’s parks and recreation manager, and try to resolve the partnership issues between the town and the organization.

“I assure you, we want the children playing ball at Summerfield Athletic Park. There’s no question,” said Sessoms.

I want to be seen as a man of integrity. I also want our customers to be comfortable working with us and to understand that we strive to provide the best solution for them and their budget. Our employees are proud to work for this company.On a personal note: Next year, I get to celebrate 25 years with my wife. We have three children and one rescue dog named Willow.

I believe being active in your local church is important. We attend the Sum-mit Church, Kernersville location.

I love to spend my leisure time play-ing golf and with the family canoeing,

hiking, rafting and camping.

Any interesting facts about you that you’re willing to share? During my previ-ous job, I got the opportunity to live in Alabama, travel the United States, ski down Whistler in Canada (it took three hours), stood in the location of the wall that separated what was West and East Berlin when I traveled to Germany and lined up three peanuts side by side and picked them up at one time using chop-sticks in China.

BEACON SUITES PET RESORTOwners: Trudy and Dominic Benedict

Business background/overview: We opened in November 2011 following recession-related job layoffs. We knew we were taking a risk to open a new

business in the middle of such a harsh economy, but we were eager to do something that we love. We thought a lot about the type of boarding facility we would want for our dogs and wanted to provide a unique place that would make both dogs and owners happy.

We offer all-inclusive, personalized dog boarding and grooming with private suites, walks, unlimited let-outs, free bath with four-night stays, medication adminis-tration and lots of love and attention.

What makes Beacon Suites unique? Be-cause we are a small, family-owned/oper-ated facility, we are able to pamper our canine guests. We live on site, so we’re always nearby. Our goal is to provide your dog with a “resort” experience. In fact, you may find that your dog has a better time than you do when you’re away.

Your business philosophy? We have compassion for dogs and believe they make the world a better place. Every dog is special and we want to cater to that specialness.

On a personal note: At Beacon Suites, our whole family is involved. Trudy man-ages the kennel. Dominic loves to play with and walk the dogs and spends time taking care of the buildings. We have two sons, Alex, the resort’s groomer, and David, who helps maintain the grounds.

We’re a member of Oak Ridge Mer-chants Association and a Canine Capers sponsor.

In our spare time, we like to go to unique restaurants and a good movie. We love entertaining and getting to know people.

GRIPES to... Motorcyclists and

drivers of overly loud cars that travel N.C. 150 late at night. People with small kids live on this road. Be respectful and stop going out of your way to be as loud as you can. Members of Northern Guilford’s

student body who used inappropriate language when cheering at last Friday’s football game. Though the cheers were spirited, some of the language was disrespectful to use in a stadium full of families. The bicycling gentleman who was

riding on N.C. 150 at dusk on Tuesday

evening. Think safety, my friend. Wear reflective clothing, put reflectors on your bicycle. Help us help you live to ride another day. The teenage boys in the black Impala

driving through Oak Ridge Commons parking lot like fools, then going into The Meadows repeatedly dropping the “f-bomb.” I hope your parents read this. The NWHS band director, for direct-

ing the band to play when the offense is trying to hear the snap count. The parents and one of the coaches

who disrespected Northwest’s drum line and band at last Friday’s football game. It is their stadium too, and they have a right to show their school spirit by playing to the crowd.

Road; it is listed for a little over $2.6 mil-lion. The estate boasts over 10,000-plus square feet of heated living space includ-ing the main house, pool house with apartment, guest house and gym.

In addition, the 43.37-acre retreat in-cludes a fully stocked pond, pool, insulated recording studio, walking and riding trails.

The Triad Business Journal reported that the couple recently purchased a 3,473-square-foot condominium at The

Trust in uptown Charlotte.

“We were sad to leave the commu-nity, but with all the traveling Chris’ job requires, it was best for our family that we live in a city with an airport that had more direct flights,” said Deanna Daughtry. “We decided on Charlotte because we couldn’t imagine ever leaving North Carolina. We are enjoying our new home, but Guilford County will always have a special place in our hearts.”
