NORTHERN GUILFORD – It was a full house Friday afternoon, June 12, as 346 members of the sixth graduating class of Northern Guilford High School walked across the stage of the Greensboro Coli-seum Special Events Center.

“It’s not the mountain ahead of you that will wear you out, it’s the pebble in your shoe,” he said.

When he told the seniors to “stay cool,” they gave him a standing ovation.

GTCC dedicates B&I Building, conference center

Photo by Gerri Hunt/NWO

Attendees of GTCC’s Business and Industry Building dedica-tion on Wednesday, June 10, tour the teaching warehouse.

Located on Leabourne Road at N.C. 68COLFAX – Guilford Technical Commu-nity College dedicated its new Business and Industry Building and Conference Center on the college’s Leabourne Road campus on Wednesday, June 10.

The event celebrated the completion of the first building on the 102-acre Don-ald W. Cameron Campus – GTCC’s fifth campus, which opened in August 2014.

Dr. Randy Parker, GTCC president, said the journey began in 2007 with a founding concept of “regionalism,” which he said he believes has been accomplished. The campus is named after Donald W. Cameron, president emeritus of GTCC, who served the col-

lege for 30 years, the last 20 as president.

“Dr. Cameron’s vision, which is now realized, was for a campus dedi-cated to and rooted in the needs of business and industry within the Pied-mont Triad,” said Parker.

He noted that the “crown jewels” of the $48 million, 94,000-square-foot facility are industrial training flex labs, a full-scale teaching warehouse, and a conference center that seats 250 and is equipped with state-of-the-art equipment.

“Today’s dedication serves as our continued commitment to the success of the Piedmont Triad and to acknowledge the relationships developed with our

partner colleges, universities, businesses and industries,” said Parker.

The Cameron campus is home to the North Carolina Center for Global Logistics, a collaborative effort among Guilford and Forsyth technical colleges, and Davidson County and Randolph community colleges, to develop a highly-trained workforce for the logistics and supply-chain industries.

I heard a commercial devel-oper wants to put a “big Walmart” at the corner of

N.C. 68 and Leabourne Road, just outside of the Oak Ridge town limits. Is that true?

On Dec. 14, 2012, Greenlea 68 Land, a real investment company based in Greens-

boro, purchased adjacent tracts of land at the corner of Leabourne Road and N.C. 68, totaling about 117 acres, for $6.3 million.

The property is south of GTCC’s Donald W. Cameron Campus and just outside of the Oak Ridge town limits; it is zoned for multi-use development, which according to Guilford County’s development ordinance can accommo-date “residential, commercial and light industrial developed on large tracts in accordance with a unified development plan.”

The adjacent tracts are outside of the Greensboro City limits; if developed, they would have to be annexed into Greensboro in order to be served by the city’s municipal water system.

We checked with the Guilford County Planning Department and as of yet, the department has not received an applica-tion to develop this site. We’ll continue to follow this issue and will publish updates as they become available.

your QUESTIONS

I’ve read about Oak Ridge commissions and committees in the paper. What’s the

difference?

The Town of Oak Ridge has a Historic Preservation Commis-sion and Parks and Recreation

Commission, as well as Finance, Water, and Land Use committees. Members of both committees and commissions are appointed by the town council.

Oak Ridge Town Manager Bruce Oakley explains commissions generally have more authority [than committees] to act on behalf of the town, operate more independently of the town council, and sometimes (but not always) have quasi-judicial power – described on usale-gal.com as the power or duty to investi-gate and to draw conclusions from such investigations.

For example, the Oak Ridge His-

toric Preservation Commission has the authority to hold quasi-judicial hearings in which speakers must be sworn in and the commission is charged with hearing testimony about personal or property rights and making decisions which are legally binding.

The town’s Parks and Recreation Commission makes recommendations to the council, and has some limited over-sight of the town park.

Oakley also noted that Oak Ridge has a Planning and Zoning Board and a Board of Adjustment, both of which each have some authority to make legally binding decisions.

“Boards and commissions follow ordinances, rules and regulations adopted by the town,” said Oakley. “Committees’ general functions are to research and develop ideas and to recommend policies and plans.”

SUPERCUTSBusiness Owner: Amie Byrd

A new Supercuts hair salon opened in Greens-boro on June 10, at Shoppes at Battleground North.

“We wanted to offer a high quality, convenient hair salon where the entire family could get their hair cut or colored,” says Byrd. “My husband and I looked at all of the available options and were really impressed with the level of stylist training, testing, and validation offered by Supercuts.”

The business is unique because Byrd only hires experienced stylists with proven track records who undergo the extensive Supercuts hair stylist acad-

emy program. In this week of training they learn the proven Supercuts techniques and are evaluated by a Supercuts instructor, and they must pass in order to work at Supercuts.

The business philosophy is to “hire great people and let them do what they’re great at!”

Byrd and her husband, originally from Topeka, Kansas, have considered Greensboro their home-town since 2002. They have two sons, two daugh-ters and one grandson. Two of their children are grown and out on their own.

The Byrds spend much of their leisure time watching their youngest son play competitive travel lacrosse and their youngest daughter compete in cheer. They also enjoy spending time at the beach, Smith Mountain Lake, and North Carolina State Parks.

It was the general consensus in Traci Browning’s kindergarten class at Northern Elementary that Father’s Day is celebrated “because our fathers do a lot of work.” I don’t know about you, but I think that based on these descriptions, I just might be able to recognize some of these dads if I run into them in the community…

Alexa Martinez says her dad, Alex, “does ev-erything for moms, daughters and sons.” He likes to wear his work clothes, and he “fixes carpets.”

Wilson Hayes says his dad, Matt, “does all the work” too, and is sometimes on the com-puter at home, but still takes time to play soccer with him.

Brett Long and his 10-foot-tall dad, Devin, like being outdoors. “We play outside, and we feed the chickens, cows and horses together.” His dad has a little mustache and a beard.

Mattie Sewell’s dad, Shawn, has “red dark hair…. it’s really dark.” And when he watches races on TV, he yells, “Go 3!”

Macy Strickland’s dad, Kenny, calls her “May May.” He’s 4 feet tall, fixes air conditioners, watches golf, and got a big fishing trophy.

Chase Moore beats his bald dad, Chris, a lot on the Xbox. “He has the gray shirt, blue pants, and his shirt is short sleeved. And he has a beard.”

Zachary Filipoff and his dad, John, opt for old-fashioned Lincoln Logs. Zachary celebrates

Father’s Day because he loves his dad… who is blond and 6 inches tall.

Cruz Lecamu’s dad, Lee, is an 82-foot-tall anesthesiologist “with a tiny bit of hair” and a beard. They play sports video games together.

Nick Van Gorden’s dad, Dan, works on a computer, plays with him when he’s

home, and helps clean up. He has grayish-blond hair and wears “maybe a size 45 shoe.”

Johann, the dad of Laure Cleyman, “makes

messes and my mom has to clean everything up.” He’s 60 feet tall “and when he hugs me, his beard hurts me on my chin because it sticks out.”

Ethan Casper’s dad, Kory, “likes to wear a shirt with two lines on it. He’s really long, about 3 inches tall, maybe 9,” and designs signs at work.

Guadalupe Sanchez says her dad, Francisco, “celebrates Mother’s Day for the family.” He’s 2 feet tall and “works on plants” at home.

Ashton Bates’ dad, Eddie, is also 2 feet tall, with a beard and blackish-gray hair. “At home he takes naps and watches ‘Big Bang Theory.’ I like to work with him, helping him fix stuff.”

Max Saunders’ family will head to the beach to celebrate Father’s Day with his dad, Aaron. “He looks like me. He’s big, with brown-gray hair.” He likes to watch football, and sometimes yells when they score.

Hannah Hicks’ dad, Tim, would rather watch movies. And skate with his “Hannah Banana.” When he goes to work, “he helps patients at the hospital.”

Jenna Peele likes hanging out with her dad, Brian. He likes to wear short sleeves, and

if he was an animal, he would be a seahorse.

Cayden Bigelow says his 5-foot-tall dad, James Earl, would be a cheetah. “He thinks he’s faster than me. I don’t think he is.” They watch basketball together.

Colby Thomas’ dad, Chad, reads to him every single night, morning and even at lunch. “But not when he’s in Paris and he goes on trips every year.” Colby likes snuggling with his dad, who is bald, 6 feet tall and wears a size 1 shoe.

Cora Baker says her dad is special because he plays games with her. “He calls me ‘Pumpkin,’ and he watches adventures on TV.”

Rachel Cheek’s dad, Jason, is “re-ally nice, he cares for me, and that’s all.” He calls her “Little Weezers,” and when he’s not teaching AP Statistics, he does puzzles with her and reads her bedtime stories.

Elizabeth Salimbene’s dad, Frank, is 7 feet tall. “He’s the boss of a company called S and S. He helps build houses to earn money and to live with us and to take us to Disney World.”

Jeremiah Engelbrecht prefers spending time outside with his dad, named Jeremiah also. They like camping, hunting and racing. “My dad is about 100.7 feet tall. He has a little hair and he’s really strong and he has a little shoulder that’s hurt so he has a little cast.”•

SUMMERFIELD town council

June 9 / MEETING HIGHLIGHTSas reported by PATTI STOKES

Mayor Tim Sessoms called the monthly meeting to order and Linda Southard led the opening prayer, which was followed by the Pledge of Allegiance.

ANNOUNCEMENTS Councilwoman Alicia Flowers an-

nounced Golden Antiques and Treasures will re-open at the end of June in the former Yamaha motorcycle building off U.S. 220 North (left at Camp Carefree sign on Simpson Road).

Town Manager Scott Whitaker an-nounced the annual kids’ fishing derby was set for June 13 at Summerfield Community Park and all 50 available spots were filled.

Blackwater Rhythm and Blues Band will perform at the town’s Music in the

Park event on July 11 at 6 p.m. Ses-soms said the Music in the Park event on June 6 was very well attended and Patrick Rock Band did a great job.

A draft of the county’s updated multi-jurisdictional hazard mitigation plan is available for review.

PUBLIC COMMENTS Adrian Williamson spoke in opposi-

tion to the draft budget and how much money the town was spending on the athletic fields.

“Last year we heard the SRA (Sum-merfield Recreation Association) beg us to be able to play ball,” Williamson said. “Now we’re going to spend another $250,000 – plus another $190,000 to put another road in there (at Summer-

field Athletic Park) … who will pay for that? The taxpayers.”

The “youth sports bunch” had peti-tioned to lower athletic park usage fees, but were now nowhere to be found, Wil-liamson said. “They move on and we still have the expense,” he concluded.

COMMITTEE REPORTS The Finance Committee will meet

July 20, the Historical Committee will meet June 25 and the Public Safety Committee was to meet June 17.

Trails and Open Space. Chair Jane Doggett said the committee was very pleased with the participation and feed-back it received at Founders’ Day last month.

“We had a lot of interest in the trail – they (committee members) said there were no negative comments about the trail. Everyone was very excited,” Doggett said. The committee will meet again on June 24.

Founders’ Day. Whitaker said the Found-ers’ Day Committee had met to discuss feedback from council, citizens and everyone involved with Founders’ Day on May 15-16, and to think through the venue, dates, times, rides, etc.; a subcom-mittee was formed which will make rec-ommendations for next Founders’ Day.

Sessoms said the shuttle bus trans-portation system at Founders’ Day was greatly improved this year.

PUBLIC HEARINGFY 2015-2016 budget

Dwayne Crawford said he didn’t have time to use the trails and was “agnostic about them,” but he did have opinions about the cost of extending the A&Y Greenway trail through Summerfield.

“The Greenway trail started outside of Summerfield and the idea of extending it here was sold to us – and bought by some of us, but not all 10,000 of us,” he said.

The athletic park still operates at a loss, while more people – the majority from outside of Summerfield – are using it, he added.

“And now we’re going to hire more

people … where are we going with this?” he asked.

Regarding the $25,000 in the draft budget to help fund a water and fire protection study, Crawford said it was the county’s responsibility to spend money on fixing safety-related problems, not the town’s.

“Summerfield no longer serves a population of 10,000 – most people live their lives oblivious to the government. I think the government serves itself, and no longer its citizens,” he concluded.

Adrian Williamson spoke again, claim-ing the town manager had been told to spend down the town’s reserves. “At the rate we are going, it won’t take long,” he said, urging the council “to draw some of these expenditures back in …”

Elizabeth Ingram complimented the town manager and staff for providing such a well-prepared budget that even people with no financial background could understand.

Council/staff discussion. Whitaker said the proposed FY 2015-2016 budget had been formally presented at a special called meeting on May 28 and the 40-page budget had been made available online and in hard copy for anyone who wished to review it.

The $1,960,529 proposed budget will reduce reserves by $827,604 and keep the property tax rate at 2.75 cents (per $100 property valuation).

“The $915,000 in the capital budget has been vetted throughout the budget process with public meetings and public input,” Whitaker said.

Flowers agreed the budget was well-presented, but said the tax rate will eventually increase substantially because of so many large projects on the horizon.

As for a $25,000 line item for a water and fire protection study, she said she had spent the afternoon listening to the audio of the Feb. 10 council meeting (in which Summerfield Fire Department Chief Chris Johnson and Ken Rierson, chairman of the department’s board, attended and spoke).

“We didn’t ever say ‘Go put $50,000

or $25,000 (in the budget) for a study,’” she said. “The manager was supposed to get back with us after Mr. Rierson checked to see if the fire department board could fund a study. Since the fire district encom-passes a much larger area than the town and contracts with the town for fire safety, if there is a problem, the fire department needs to check with the county … also, when we give money to a non-profit, we expect to see their financials.”

Flowers also questioned continuing to budget money for Planning and Zoning Board and Board of Adjustment member training when it wasn’t being used.

“If we’re not going to spend the money, don’t put it in the budget. If you’re going to put it in the budget, then require them to take the training,” she said.

Additionally, Flowers said an 8 per-cent raise for the town manager (ap-proved in May) was excessive. “I know he works hard, but that is a lot of money,” she said.

In reference to the water and fire pro-tection study, Whitaker said he had been directed to bring a recommendation to the council after the scope of what had been discussed had been broad-ened – and specifically to do that for the upcoming budget year.

“Part of that was to look at potential cost-sharing,” Whitaker said. “I feel my duty as a manager is to deliver on that … my interpretation from that meeting

was that I had a directive to bring some-thing back to you for consideration.”

“If they (fire department) can spend money on a study, then let them,” Flow-ers said.

“And they tax about three times what we tax,” council member Elizabeth Mc-Clellan added, pointing out the depart-ment, which contracts with the town, has a tax rate of 13.1 cents (per $100 property valuation).

Sessoms said he had reached out to people with the county regarding this matter and was “trying to sort it out,” but had more people yet to talk with.

“I am not of the opinion at this point that we will end up spending what is in the budget, but I think we owe it to the fire department to at least have a place-holder to show our commitment,” he said.

McClellan said she took issue with the fire department declining to share their financials with the town, as Flowers had stated.

Council member Dena Barnes said she wanted the town to keep a good relationship with the fire department. “I don’t care if the money is in there (the budget) or not – but if we leave it in there, it shows we are willing to do something,” she said.

McClellan said the town shouldn’t fund the study just because it had money in reserves and people thought the town could afford it.

“The fire district is much larger than the town. If the town takes the respon-sibility for this study, what about the people who live outside the town but in the fire district – are they going to chip in?” Flowers asked.

Council member Mike Adams said he felt the town should be willing to contrib-ute to a study if it wanted to have input.

“I would like to direct the study some-what and ask for alternatives as opposed to just ‘fire hydrants and that’s it,’” he said. “I would like to have some money in the budget and some input for our town ….”

“It’s not just our town – it’s the entire fire district,” Flowers argued. “We are short circuiting the process between the fire department and the county.”

Sessoms argued the town is respon-sible for the safety of its citizens.

“I agree it is a county issue. I want the county to pick it (the expense) up … but they are not. I am trying to show them this is an issue,” he said. “Even if it’s $9,500 in the budget, that sends a message to the fire department…”

Flowers asked if it wasn’t the depart-ment’s job to take public safety issues to the county, then added, “I don’t like that word ‘placeholder.’ It means nothing.”

“It gives you a spot at the table,” Adams said.

“I don’t want a spot at that table,” Flowers responded, to which Adams coun-tered, “I do – I’m part of Summerfield.”

McClellan’s motion to remove the $25,000 line item for a water and fire protection study was seconded by Flow-ers, but garnered no more votes.

3 2 to decrease the proposed $25,000 budgeted for a water and fire protection study to $9,500 (Flowers and McClellan voted against).

Flowers said the town was losing money on planning fees and felt it should consider imposing impact fees on developers. Fees to use the community and athletic park facilities should also be raised, she said.

Parks and Recreation Manager Jeff Goard said more revenue from park rental fees would come in by June 30. The athletic park is almost at capacity, which requires more staff on weekends, he said; he pointed out that revenue from park facility fees increased this fiscal year and SRA is paying more than it ever has.

Flowers asked Goard what percentage of athletic park facility users were from Summerfield and he said the majority of soccer and baseball/softball league tournament players have Greensboro addresses; about 25 percent of SRA par-ticipants have Summerfield addresses.

A benefit of hosting tournaments at the athletic park is that the local restau-rants, gas stations, grocery store, etc., get more business, he noted.

TOWN COUNCIL ...continued from p. 11

When Flowers asked if Goard felt raising the facility usage fees was war-ranted, he responded, “We are right around what every other small town is charging for using our athletic fields – going up wouldn’t be a big benefit.” He added that fees for using the community park could increase, however.

Whitaker pointed out that several planning fees had increased substan-tially, but the budget shows revenue from planning fees decreasing next fiscal year because the town can’t predict how much development activity will occur.

In response to Flowers’ question

about environmental impact fees, Whita-ker said that “was on the radar.”

3 2 to approve the proposed FY 2015-2016 budget after reducing the amount allocated for a water and fire protection study from $25,000 to $9,500 (if budgeted, this is the amount the town manager is authorized to spend without having to bring it back before the coun-cil). McClellan and Flowers voted against.

TOWN MANAGER’S REPORT 5 0 In three separate votes, the council unanimously approved the re-appointment of Don Wendelken to

the Finance Committee, Bill and Anna Heroy and Elizabeth Ingram to the Historical Committee, and Cheri Pikett and Don Wendelken to the Public Safety Committee.

5 0 to appoint Christine Hen-son to the Finance Committee to fill the seat being vacated by long-time member Ronnie Stafford. Flowers said it was gratifying to have four very qualified people apply to serve on this committee.

5 0 to appoint Matthew Wal-lace to the Trails and Open Space Committee to replace Alex Ashton as Guilford County’s representative.

Personnel policy change. Council agreed to expanding options in the per-sonnel policy for employees who miss all or a portion of a workday due to adverse weather conditions.

Welcome signs. With I-73 to intersect Summerfield within the next few years and U.S. 220 being widened, the council discussed placing “Welcome to Summer-field” signs at the future I-73/(northern end of) U.S. 220 interchange and just north of the U.S. 220 and Strawberry Road interchange; a third, possibly more historic-type sign will be placed near the N.C. 150/U.S. 220 intersection. 5 0 to purchase a Toro Sand Pro and an attachment – for an amount not to exceed $13,000 – for leveling, drag-ging, smoothing and plowing the athletic

fields (the expense will come out of the current fiscal year’s budget).

RFQs. Whitaker said he would present recommendations for firms to provide design of the A&Y Greenway trail exten-sion at the July council meeting.

Rhondan Road paving. Whitaker said the property owner who had opposed providing land for an easement to pave and improve Rhondan Road was now potentially more in favor of it and he would keep the council posted. 5 0 to approve the annual audit contract with Rouse, Rouse, Penn & Rouse.

Park gates. Two bollards have been pur-chased, delivered and will be installed at the entrance gate to the community park.

COUNCIL COMMENTSBarnes thanked everyone who com-

miserated with her and husband BJ (Guilford County sheriff) after their home was recently broken into.

Flowers asked Whitaker about park-ing lot lights at the rear of Town Hall, and he replied he was working through the permit process with Guilford County.

Flowers then asked about the two sheriff’s deputies in attendance, and Whitaker said they had attended the meeting at the town’s request.

The meeting adjourned at 8:22 p.m.

Realtor Dede Cun-ningham has joined Keller Williams Re-alty and formed her own team, DeDe’s Real Estate Group.

“Keller Williams promotes an agent-centric business model that focuses on cutting-edge training, top notch internet

marketing and exposure for sellers, more opportunities for buyers and sellers, as well as team-building opportunities,” she says.

Cunningham and her husband Richard live in Oak Ridge. Their son, Andrew, is a rising senior at Northwest High School.

A member of the Oak Ridge Mer-chants Association, Cunningham served as president of the organization in 2014 and continues to serve as a board mem-ber.

OAK RIDGE/STOKESDALE – The land-scape is changing on Haw River Road in Oak Ridge, and at the former Dawn Acres golf course property off N.C. 68 in Stokes-dale, as the infrastructure is being put in place for the area’s newest communities – Knights Landing and Dawn Acres.

Road grading and utility placement are currently underway at both loca-tions. Lot draws, in which the lots are divided among builders, has taken place for Dawn Acres and will be completed for Knights Landing by the end of July.

Both properties are being developed by Kevan Combs, who says work on Dawn Acres is about a month ahead of Knights Landing. Weather permitting, Combs says new home construction should start in both Dawn Acres and Knights Landing around late August or early September.

Two northwest-area communities break ground

Eighty lots are planned for Dawn Acres, with 50 percent of the 113-acre development reserved for open, or unde-veloped space. The price range for the all-brick homes will start at $350,000.

The 81-acre Knights Landing develop-ment in Oak Ridge will have 77 lots, each

with a minimum of 20,000 square feet or about one-half acre; 35 acres of the prop-erty will remain as open space. The all-brick homes will start in the upper $400,000s.

The two developments are being marketed by Builder Services, Inc. (BSI), a division of Allen Tate.

Committed to creating beautiful homes while building visions

As a teenager, David Flanders became infatuated with the construc-tion industry and spent his summers building homes with a local builder.

Even a full load of classes didn’t deter him from continuing his hands-on con-struction education during college. More often than not, in his free time he could be found onsite remodeling a 4,500-square-foot nearby mountain retreat.

In 2007, Flanders graduated from Ap-palachian State University with a bach-elor’s degree in construction technology and a minor in business management. After graduation, the Greensboro native opened Builders MD and began do-ing what he loves to do most – creating unique homes tailored to a family’s needs as well as dreams.

“We don’t just build houses, we turn dreams into reality,” says Flanders. With his business built on that premise, he and his team are now among Guilford County’s premiere builders.

Based in Oak Ridge, Builders MD is family-owned and operated. Flanders’ father, Mike, and younger sister, Mary Metty, help oversee the administrative side of the business. As an interior designer, his wife Casey brings valu-

able expertise to the home cre-ation process.

“Casey has an incredible talent for working closely with clients – regardless of budget – to truly make a house into a home,” says Flanders. “She provides as much or as little assistance as a client wants. With our spec homes, she selects and coordinates everything – brick, paint, shutters and fixtures.”

To make his mark on the local build-ing scene, Flanders knew his company had to be different. Part of doing that was bringing Casey on board to provide design assistance. Also important was being a hands-on builder.

“I make it a point to be on-site and do a lot of the work myself,” says Flanders.

He also wanted to make his homes distinctive. Together, he and Casey have accomplished that by venturing into the unpredictable and unique – for example, they’re not afraid of forgoing the neutral paint tones that traditionally make homes more saleable and spicing things up with color.

Finding ways to add character is an-other one of Builders MD’s trademarks. For instance, in their house at 8310 Hunters Drive in Greensboro’s Hilton’s Landing, an old roll-out window serves as a dramatic foyer focal point, while the red brick kitchen walls complement the more contemporary granite countertops.

Nooks and built-ins are abundant in a Builders MD home. Mudrooms feature

plenty of cubbies and hooks for storing items such as coats, shoes, book bags, etc.

Window seats hide storage underneath and built-ins often

replace the need for added furniture. “We design our homes for efficiency

and seek to give homeowners plenty of options to deal with clutter,” Flanders says.

While Builders MD homes are beautiful and well-built, ultimately it’s the homeowner’s opinion that really mat-ters – and that’s where the company’s success is touted.

“We just wanted you to know how much we have enjoyed working with you and Casey,” wrote Erich and Brenda Thompson of Jamestown after they moved into their new Builders MD home. “We will be letting folks know of our wonderful experience with Builders MD. Thanks for the beautiful house!”

Betsy and Al Poindexter of Greens-boro wrote, “You are to be commended on your process – from start to finish it was a smooth operation. Builders MD has been great to work with. Their pas-

sion for quality work is contagious.” “David and his team were knowl-

edgeable, professional and dedicated,” wrote Russell and Katie Peele of Greens-boro. “They worked around the clock to complete projects and exceeded expectations.”

And Oak Ridge residents Chuck and Kelly Pinnix echoed those sentiments.

“When shopping for a home, we had a lengthy list of specific wants and desires,” the couple said. “David ex-ceeded our expectations for quality and workmanship. As for Builders MD and David’s professionalism and integrity, we cannot say enough good things! We would, and have, recommended David and his company to anyone in the mar-ket for a high quality home!”

These are the kind of comments that Flanders never tires of hearing as he continues to deliver a positive building experience and beautiful homes for his homeowners.

David and Casey have two sons, Noah, 6, and Easton, 4. When not working, they enjoy family time and be-

ing outdoors.

Builders MD is building homes in Riverside and Heron’s

Nest in Oak Ridge, Belews Landing at Belews Lake, and Hilton’s Landing and Jessup Ridge in northern Greensboro.

After two years of visiting construction sites and open houses, Barnett chose Don Mills Builders.

“I would not only recommend Don Mills to build your home,” says Barnett. “I would have him build another one for me. They are professional, organized, timely and very knowledgeable about the entire construc-tion process, which made my building experience enjoyable and not stressful.”

“Don and Annette built a beautiful, high quality home for us,” says Greens-boro’s Jon Sherpherd. “We’re now in a larger home but our utility bills are less than half what they were at our last house. That’s a strong testament to the quality of a Don Mills home!”

And Sue Murray of Summerfield says, “We were living in New York while our house in Summerfield was being built. Don and Annette could not have been more profes-sional and helpful. They made the entire process stress-free and we could not be hap-pier with the quality of their work.”

For nearly three decades, Don Mills Builders has been setting the standards for high-quality, beautiful homes. As Don likes to say, “Quality is a standard in our homes, not an upgrade.”

Don and his wife, Annette, strive to provide a stress-free building experience that results in a custom home designed to

match the individual lifestyles and tastes of their clients.

Communication is the key to giving homeowners exactly what they want. From the initial consultation to the final walk-through, Don and Annette stay in constant contact with their clients to make sure the process is running smoothly and on time.

During the construction process, Annette works closely with homeowners to choose and coordinate those all-important design options – such as colors, fixtures, hardware, tile and more. With her guidance, homeowners never feel like they’re “sinking in a sea of choices.”

It’s this attention to qual-

Volunteers helped collect food for the Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwest North Carolina.

Northwest Guilford tops list of housing starts

According to a monthly report re-leased by the Guilford County Planning and Inspections Department, Oak Ridge, Summerfield and Stokesdale continue to lead other areas of the county with regard to the number of new home permits.

For the first five months of 2015, Guil-ford County has issued 28 permits for new single-family residences in Oak Ridge; Sum-merfield has had 19 and Stokesdale eight.

Bill Bruce, planning director for Oak Ridge, says Oak Ridge is “tracking a little higher than last year, showing that the town is on a slow and steady course for development.”

The report lists permits issued in eight towns. It also includes unincorporated Guilford County and the Piedmont Triad International Airport. It does not track permits issued in the city of Greensboro.

BHHS/Yost & Little Realty gives back to community

Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Yost & Little Realty hosted its annual Family Movie Night at Greensboro’s NewBridge Bank Park on May 22.

Over 2,400 people attend-ed the fourth annual commu-nity event, which benefitted the Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwest North Carolina. The cost of admis-sion was one canned food item per attendee; a total of 3,375 pounds of food was col-lected during the event.

“Movie Night was a hugely successful event all the way around,” said Rod Eller, vice president of sales for the realty company. “The weather was perfect, the outfield was

filled with families, friends and our neighbors – and more importantly, we collected a significant amount of food to donate to Second Harvest.”

Based on new home permits issued by Guil-

ford County, the northwest region

of the county is the place to be.

Ridge Town Council (regarding tax rate). They keep confiscating our money for their next scheme, refusing to grant us any tax relief. Do they work for us – or do we work for them?

GRIPES to... The inconsiderate par-

ents who walked out of the NWHS graduation ceremony as soon as your child’s name was an-nounced. That was such a distraction and a blatant lack of respect to all the gradu-ates yet to walk across the stage. The person who complained to the

Northwest Observer for not having enough gripes to balance the grins. Seriously?

Editor’s note: Yes, we think the reader who submitted that gripe was serious – still scratching our heads at this end as well. Parents who won’t park in the desig-

nated parking areas on Greenlawn Drive in Summerfield (next to the ball fields) and law enforcement for not enforcing the “No Parking” areas before a child gets hit by a passing vehicle. To the careless driver of the small red

car on Lake Brandt Road on June 12 about 11:35 a.m. for driving so fast and recklessly that you put my life and others in danger! N.C. lawmakers for passing a law that

allows court officials to refuse to perform a marriage if they have a religious objec-tion. No complaints, then, if a Muslim court official refuses to marry a lady not wearing a headscarf.

Editor’s Note: In response to a gripe published last week (June 12-15) about a Guilford County sheriff’s deputy passing a stopped school bus, Lt. Chad Sibert of the sheriff’s department’s District 1 office asks that the witness contact his office at (336) 641-2300 so the sheriff’s depart-ment can look into the matter.

Eye Care for helping with the Lions Club Vision Van during RidgeFest. She made a big difference! Mrs. Beverly Johnson of Summerfield

Elementary for creating a memory to last a lifetime by preparing our third- through fifth-graders to sing the national anthem at a recent Greensboro Grasshoppers game. Our children sounded beautiful thanks to you! The great sponsors of Canine Capers,

held on June 6 at Oak Ridge Town Park. We very much appreciate your valuable support and services to the community! Our canine friends certainly had a great time and look forward to next year’s event. Mrs. Beth Allen at Oak Ridge Elementa-

ry School for being such a great first-grade teacher! You truly have a special gift and love for teaching. Thank you for thinking outside the box and making learning fun! Mrs. Boone for being the best substi-

tute teacher ever and always seeing the best in every child. You made a huge difference in many kids’ lives. Never stop inspiring kids to be better – we love you! The young man in the meat depart-

ment of the Food Lion on N.C. 68. I know working on Sundays can’t be fun, but you are always friendly and helpful when I come to get our meat for the week. Northern and Northwest’s Class of

District 1 Sheriff’s Offi cehas recently responded to the following incidentsin northwest Guilford County ...

CRIME / INCIDENT report

Crime/Incident Report

CORRECTION | The Northwest Ob-server printed a crime report last week (June 12-18), which contained an error when it was submitted to us. Rather than a reported incident occurring at Summerfield Family Practice, the report should have read, “On June 2, Spear Clinic in Summerfield reported that an employee threatened an-other employee. Warrants were advised and the victim refused to cooperate.” The NWO regrets that the incorrect business was listed.

ASSAULTJune 10 | A Greensboro man reported being the victim of a simple assault during a confrontation over money. After he was punched by two people and a dog was com-manded to bite his arm, he was treated for minor injuries; the man’s friend was taken to a hospital with more serious injuries.June 14 | A Greensboro man reported be-ing the victim of an aggravated assault that occurred at the intersection of Alcorn Road and Northwest School Road. The incident stemmed from a dispute that began during a pick-up basketball game. The suspect, who was unknown to the victim, followed him to the intersection, got out of his car, threat-ened him, and fired two shots at the victim’s car. Though the victim was not injured, at least one bullet struck his car. An investiga-tion is underway to identify the suspect.

BREAKING AND ENTERINGJune 12 | A Reidsville woman reported that two known people stole her Mitsubishi SUV from Winfree Road in Summerfield between 4 and 5 p.m. Two Summerfield men, resi-dents of Windspray Loop and Robinson Road, were subsequently arrested and charged with larceny of a motor vehicle, breaking and entering of a motor vehicle, first-degree trespassing and injury to real property.

FRAUDJune 9 | A resident of Shadyside Drive in Summerfield reported an unknown

suspect used his credit card information to purchase $2,472 worth of merchandise from several Durham businesses. The information may have been accessed by the suspect when the victim used his credit card in a Durham restaurant in May.June 9 | A resident of Scalesville Road in Summerfield reported an unknown person caused two fraudulent checks, totaling $12,061, to be deposited in the victim’s bank account, and then made unauthor-ized withdrawals in the same amount.June 9 | A resident of U.S. 220 in Sum-merfield reported an unknown person used the victim’s debit card information to make unauthorized purchases totaling $676 at Walgreens in Summerfield and at two businesses in Greensboro.June 11 | CVS in Summerfield and Oak Ridge reported a known person submitted fraudulent prescriptions at both locations.

PROPERTY DAMAGEJune 14 | A resident of Pepper Road in Oak Ridge reported an unknown person shot a bullet through the back window of the victim’s Kia Spectra, which was parked in the driveway. Damage is estimated at $500, and an investigation is underway.

THEFTJune 9 | A Reidsville resident reported an unknown person stole a $300 Husky air compressor from a construction site on Lambert Lake Court in Stokesdale sometime between 12:30 p.m. on June 6 and 5:16 p.m. on June 9.June 15 | A co-owner of Piedmont Auto Sales reported unknown people removed $1,895 worth of parts from a Chevrolet Trailblazer for sale on the lot. The vehicle sustained $500 in damages during removal of the parts, which included bumpers, step pads, valances and electrical components. An investigation is underway to identify two suspicious people observed at the lot.

Ma, Caroline Mabe, Jake Mayer, Mark Murphy, Karsyn Parent, Jackson Parrish, Sarah Plott, Zachary Sikora, Erin Stickler, Jacob Strauss, Hailey Thomas, Audrey Wheeler, and Rachel Zawadski.

Dr. Maurice “Mo” Green, Guilford County Schools’ superintendent, recognized the class valedictorian and salutatorian.

With a GPA (grade point average) of 5.45, Valedictorian Jacob Strauss, who will attend UNC-Chapel Hill next year, said he and his classmates had accom-plished much, learned much and experi-enced more than they had ever expected.

ment to the U.S. Naval Academy, along with a scholarship valued at more than $450,000.

“Brandon has truly exemplified the words in the Boy Scout oath,” said Mar-shall, noting that he achieved Eagle rank as a freshman. “Most important are the day-to-day relationships Brandon builds with other people. His duty to others is extensive.”

“We’ve done it. We made it. Hallelu-jah!,” said Grose. “The purple decorated halls of Northern have served their purpose; they have acted as our spring-board for the next steps that we have all chosen for ourselves.”

NGHS curriculum facilitator Wade Billeisen introduced valedictorian Em-ily Duquaine, who took 12 AP and 10 honors courses, and graduated with a 5.32 GPA. She is headed to N.C. State to study bio-medical engineering.

“It is her drive, her eagerness to learn and her competitive spirit that sets her apart from her peers. As an academic, philanthropist, athlete and musician, she has made us proud,” said Billeison. “Northern will miss this young lady. Her passionate interests and continuous pur-suit of a variety of activities truly testify to her remarkable character and drive.”

After stepping to the podium, Duquaine urged her fellow graduates to be optimistic about the next chapter of their lives, to be true to themselves, help-ful to others, and to value differences.

“In this life, we are all just walking up a mountain, and we can sing as we climb, or we can complain about our sore feet. Whatever we choose, we still have to do the hike,” Duquaine recalled someone once saying.

“As you create new memories, find joy in every day,” she said. “Try to live each year as the best of our lives, and continue to expand upon opportunities and ideas. And never believe that our best years are behind us.”

NOTES OF INTEREST ABOUT NORTHWEST GRADUATES:Guilford County Schools’ Class of

2015 received $156 million in schol-arship offerings this year, which is a new record (up $6 million from last year). Of that amount, Northwest’s Class of 2015 garnered $12,268,296 in scholarship offerings.

Three Northwest seniors received military appointments: Hunter Powell will attend U.S. Military Academy at West Point, where he received a scholarship of about $483,000; Anastasia Kondrasov and Austin Comeford will attend the US Naval Academy, where they received schol-arships of about $400,000.

Yong Su An will attend Wake Forest, where she received com-bined scholarship offerings of about $256,000.

With $704,000 in combined scholarship offerings, Hannah Schneider was the Class of 2015’s second highest scholarship earner. She will attend Roanoke College.

Chris Chung, a National Merit Finalist, was the Class of 2015’s top scholarship earner, with combined offerings from several universities totaling $1,123,000. He will attend UNC Chapel Hill.

NOTES OF INTEREST ABOUT NORTHERN GRADUATES:

Total scholarship offerings: $14,201,806.

Brandon Grose was appointed to the U.S. Naval Academy by former U.S. Rep. Howard Coble – whose staffers said it was the quickest appointment they had ever seen. Grose was accepted just a week after his paperwork was submitted, and turned down a full ride to NC State.

Lucas Barnette and Kevin White each received a $73,000 Montgom-ery GI Bill.

David Chambers received a $59,600 U.S. Army four-year schol-arship.

Drew Vincent received a $60,000 Presidential Scholarship and Alaria Benton a $30,000 Presidential Schol-arship, both to Hampton University.

Blair Dixon was one of just 24 students in the state to receive a $1,000 National Technical Honor Society scholarship. A Career and Technical Education student, she fol-lowed the health science cluster and earned her Nurse Aid certification.

“We have learned, loved, failed and succeeded here,” Strauss said.

“So where do we go now? How do we live our lives as honorable people who will have a positive impact on the world?” he asked.

Strauss urged his classmates to keep an open mind and value other’s perspec-tives, to recognize the profound impact their interactions with others could have on life stories, and “embrace the cosmic perspective” by realizing that as individu-als, we are but one tiny dot on Earth, which is part of a much greater universe.

“We as individuals are not the most important things in the universe,” he said in closing. “And this life is not even about you and me – it’s about all of us together. If you live your life with this selfless and altruistic mindset, the world will become a better place as a result … “

With a 5.39 GPA, Sarah Plott was the class salutatorian. Like Strauss, she will also attend UNC-Chapel Hill in the fall.

Plott began her speech, a revision of one she wrote for her fifth grade gradua-tion, by thanking the teachers at North-west for treating students like family.

“I have made many friends through-out the years – all of them different sizes, shapes and styles,” she said. “I’m learn-ing more about myself, just like everyone else. We are all different, but that is what makes us so special. Thanks to all of our outstanding teachers for teaching us not only math, science and other subjects, but teaching us about ourselves.

“Beneath all of us, we are all very similar, and we are all capable of achiev-ing our version of success,” Plott said in closing. Although I don’t exactly believe we can accomplish anything anymore, I do believe we can accomplish many things. Don’t think your high school ca-reer defines who you are or who you will become. Do what inspires you, do what you love, and you will be successful.”
