Hours after the Legislature wrapped up for the year, the governor signs bill for economic development bill at Culp Home Fashions

by GERRI HUNT

STOKESDALE – On Wednesday, Sept. 30, just seven hours after learning the North Carolina General Assembly had wrapped up its 8 ½-month session, Gov. Pat McCrory pulled into the parking lot of Culp Inc. on U.S. 158 in Stokesdale to sign the first bill from the session into law.

HB 117, known as the NC Competes Jobs Plan, makes the state more com-petitive in the United States and world-wide, said McCrory, who winged his speech rather than using one prepared

for the occasion.

The bill includes $20 million in annual job creation reimbursements that will give North Carolina economic develop-ment officials more flexibility and more fire power to attract new jobs to the state. That reimbursement fund will increase by $15 million annually should North Caro-lina land a major manufacturer which invests at least $500 million in facilities and creates a minimum of 1,750 jobs.

Former Greensboro mayor Jim Melvin, who McCrory referred to as his mentor, called the passage of the bill “truly historic.”

“In our region, we’ve lost 90,000 jobs, net, over the last 12 years. That’s a hole we have to fill up,” Melvin said. “About a month after the governor was elected, a group of business people met

by GERRI HUNTNORTHERN GREENSBORO – A local man was arrested on Thursday, Oct. 1, after allegedly firing a rifle from the drive-way of his northern Greensboro home and striking a passing vehicle.

According to a Guilford County Sher-iff’s Office report, around 4:45 p.m., a

northern Greensboro woman was driving her SUV westbound on N.C. 150, just blocks from her Scott’s Grant subdivision.

As she approached Spencer-Dixon Road, “she hears a gunshot and feels a thud on her car door, and immediately recognizes that her car had been shot at and hit,” said Lt. Chad Sibert of the Guil-ford County Sheriff’s Office. He said the crime report was unclear as to whether the bullet penetrated the door.

“She looks off to the side of the road

and sees a man standing with a rifle shouldered, pointing it at another car parked in his driveway,” Sibert continued.

Sibert said the woman turned into the man’s driveway, but the other car was trying to leave, because it was the one the gun was being pointed at – so, she backed out of the driveway to let the other car leave.

But then the woman proceeded to

‘Move Over’ for waste trucksRALEIGH – As of Thursday, Oct. 1, North Carolina drivers are required to move over a lane, when safe to do so, when they approach a truck collecting refuse, solid waste and recyclable materials.

This is an amendment to the state’s Move Over law, which already required drivers to move over a lane from a police, emergency, public service, highway main-tenance or utility vehicle that is parked within 12 feet of the highway and is flash-

ing warning lights.Public service vehicles include those

used to install, maintain or restore utility service, including electric, cable, tele-phone, communications and gas.

The Move Over law applies to road-ways that have at least two lanes traveling in the same direction.

Failing to slow down or move over could result in a citation that comes with a mandatory fine of $250, plus court costs.

Schneider: ‘Kudos to CrossFit’Athletic facility fi nally receives certifi cate of occupancyOAK RIDGE – A longstanding battle be-tween the Town of Oak Ridge, its Historic Preservation Commission and CMT Com-mons, which operates CrossFit on Linville Road, has come to a close.

“CrossFit has fulfilled all of their Certifi-cate of Appropriateness requirements for the COA that was issued on Sept. 3,” said Ann Schneider, chair of the Oak Ridge His-toric Preservation Commission, on Oct. 5.

“The property has been inspected by the town and the changes are consistent with what was proposed [by CrossFit] and approved, and so the town has now okayed the issuance of the Certificate of Occupancy,” she continued.

CrossFit’s proposal included replacing two solid panels on the facility’s front over-head rollup door with two panels contain-ing four clear tempered glass panels with opaque backing, installing faux windows on seven exterior doors, and adding archi-tectural details to the building.

Schneider and members of the Oak


CrossFit’s exterior doors, now adorned with faux windows, meet historic district guide-lines, say Oak Ridge town offi cials.

In the last year, Lowes Foods, which owns and operates supermarkets in North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia, closed under-performing stores in Shelby, Gastonia, Cary and West

Jefferson, as it shifted its store portfolio away from Charlotte.

The closures were part of a compre-hensive growth strategy that includes rebranding all existing Lowes Foods stores by 2019 and entering into the Greenville, South Carolina, market in 2016.

We apologize that the women’s names were not in photo order – in correct order, from left to right, are: Donna Ogletree, branch leader of Allen Tate Realtors office in Oak Ridge (who retired effective Oct. 2), Lori Yager, branch leader of Allen Tate’s Oak Ridge office, and Cindy Davis, branch leader of Allen Tate’s Burlington office.

Annual BBQ to have newdrive-thru formatOAK RIDGE – The Oak Ridge Fire Depart-ment will host its annual BBQ, with a “new and improved format,” from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. (or until sold out) on Saturday, Oct. 10.

“For the first time ever, we will offer drive thru-service for the sale of BBQ pounds and sauce,” says Fire Chief Steve Simmons. “After several years of a lack of parking, which contributed to dangerous traffic congestion, and limited seating leading to folks having to wait to be seated, we have decided to discontinue the (dine-in) dinner portion of our BBQ.”

The new format will also eliminate the need to limit BBQ sales earlier in the

day in order to have enough to serve during a sit-down dinner.

“[This will allow] additional pounds to be sold, thereby giving more of our customers the option of eating fresh BBQ, or freezing it and enjoying that unique taste all year long,” says Sim-mons. “We are going back to our roots, serving just the basics, the true heart of the Oak Ridge BBQ, chopped pork and our ‘secret’ sauce.”

In celebration of combining its “old roots” with its “new service”, the fire department is rolling back the price of a pound of BBQ to $7.

Touch-A-Truck, Oct. 10SUMMERFIELD – The Town of Sum-merfield will host Touch-A-Truck on Saturday, Oct. 10, from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., rain or shine, at Summerfield Ath-letic Park, 5200 U.S. 220.

The free event puts kids’ imagina-tions in gear as they learn about a large variety of vehicles.

Climb on, hear and experience more than 20 types of vehicles, including a fire, garbage, dump, tow, and live news trucks; a city bus, Tumblebee’s Tumble Bus and Gus the Bus; a sheriff’s car and motorcycle; a well drilling rig; a National Guard vehicle and more.

“Let’s go get ‘em!”

Iv Culp, president of Culp’s mattress fabrics division, said Culp was started in 1972 by his grandfather as a small private enterprise. Today, it’s a publicly traded business with a family culture. He noted North Carolina is home to Culp’s largest facilities and that of the company’s 1,200 employees worldwide, half are in this state.

“We’re proud of the last 40 years, but we’re excited about the next 40,” Culp said.

McCrory thanked the Legislature for passing the economic development bill and said he wanted it to be the first bill he signed after the Legislature closed. He also said he wanted to sign it in Guilford County specifically, which is in the center of the state.

Skvarla noted the economic progress the state has made since 2013: a quar-ter of a million private-sector jobs have been created; the corporate income tax

rate has decreased from 7 to 4 percent and may go down to 3 percent; the personal income tax rate has decreased from 7.75 to 5.49 percent; and $2.8 billion in federal debt for unemployment has been paid back three years early.

Culp Chairman of the Board Rob-ert Culp III said the governor and his administration understand business and support it, and work hard to make it fea-sible for companies like Culp to operate in North Carolina.

“Manufacturing brought my family to Guilford County and North Carolina, and it’s manufacturing that will continue to make this country, this state and this region grow,” said McCrory. “A lot of people gave up on manufacturing in the last 20 years. They’re wrong. Guilford County is the heart of manufacturing in North Carolina. It has felt the positive and the negative impacts, and it’s coming back because people real-ize we’ve got the quality, talent, work ethic,

innovation, quality of life, and now… we’re becoming more competitive.”

McCrory said North Carolina can compete to attract and keep jobs.

“To come to Culp and see a compa-ny that has survived the ups and downs, and then continue to expand, you are the best of North Carolina. And we want more Culp Industries in North Carolina, to continue to expand and bring more to this state,” he said.

Referring to his February State of the State speech, McCrory said his No. 1 goal was to provide North Carolina the economic tools necessary to compete.

“We have finally come through with a

bill this administration recommended and supports. I will proudly sign in my home, where I got my work ethic and values, right here in Guilford County,” he said.

“And it’s perfect timing, because it’s Manufacturing Week,” the governor con-tinued. “We’re going back to our heritage of what made North Carolina great, and building it to the next generation. We’re go-ing to keep promoting manufacturing as a great career option for our kids right now.”

McCrory reminded everyone of how fast an economic landscape can change, referencing Rockingham Coun-ty, which just learned it is losing one of its biggest employers, MillerCoors.

pull back into the driveway.

“She stays there and confronts the guy with the gun,” said Sibert. “I don’t know exactly what she said to him, but she went back to her car and called 911.”

Investigators arrived at the scene and spoke to her and the alleged shooter, who lives at the home.

Sibert said he doesn’t believe the man knew either driver; investigators never did speak with the other driver who left the scene before they arrived.

“I will say alcohol was involved,”

said Sibert.

Investigators recovered a .22-caliber rifle and eight empty shell casings.

“Arguably he might have not fired them all at that same time, but it’s rea-sonable to infer that’s what happened,” said Sibert.

James Edward Dillard, of N.C. 150, was arrested and charged with felony shooting into an occupied vehicle, mis-demeanor damage to property, and a violation of a Guilford County ordinance against discharging a firearm.

OCT. 1 / MEETING HIGHLIGHTSas reported by GERRI HUNT

OAK RIDGE town council

Mayor Spencer Sullivan called the meeting to order at 7 p.m. Dr. Roy Carter, pastor of Central Baptist Church, led the invocation. Following the Pledge of Allegiance, council unani-mously approved the agenda, as well as minutes from the Aug. 6 and Sept. 3 council meetings and an Aug. 6 closed session meeting.

5 0 to hire an additional part-time groundskeeper and to increase the hourly rate of groundskeepers from $9 to $10.

FINANCIAL UPDATES The town’s audit report will be

presented next month. Town finance officer Sam Anders said issues arose concerning whether the town was noti-fied of the state’s modification of death benefits for local government retirees.

“And we’ve been a town long enough now to where we have the unenviable position of having property taxes that are no longer collectible; once they go past 10 years, they drop off the registers,” said Anders, noting that about $400 is uncollectible.

“But now we have to make a calcu-lation and establish a reserve for uncol-lectible late taxes,” he said. “We have amazingly low collection problems. Our average is right around 99 percent initial collection in the tax year.”

Anders also noted that he believes the town owes $4,093 to Guilford County Animal Control. He is hold-ing the check until he sees paperwork outlining how the total amount due was calculated.

5 0 to accept the financial report as presented.

COMMUNITY UPDATESBoard of Adjustment. Vice Chair Nancy Stoudemire said the board granted a variance for an accessory structure due to the location of trees on the home-owner’s property and the lay of land.

Historic Preservation Commission. Chair Ann Schneider urged everyone to look for HPC’s ad in the at Home special section of the Oct. 2 issue of the Northwest Observer, which explains what’s historic about the Oak Ridge Historic District. She thanked Frank Whitaker for his editorial in the Sept. 25 issue of the NWO.

Schneider noted a huge outpouring of help in trying to defeat Rep. Mark Brody’s (R-Union) House Bill 799, which would enable property owners to opt out of historic districts. Brody may revisit the issue when the Legislative short session begins on April 25. She urged the coun-cil to adopt a resolution in opposition to the bill; Sullivan asked her to draft one.

HPC member Michelle Davidson has resigned. Schneider thanked her for her service, and said HPC will recommend an appointment to council from among its three alternates.

Schneider commended the exterior work the owners of CrossFit did to their building. (See News Briefs on page 3.)

Fire department. Assistant Fire Chief Anders advised everyone to use extra caution during the bout of inclement weather the area has been experienc-ing, to avoid large standing bodies of water, and not to drive under partially fallen trees or over power lines.

Anders also invited everyone to the fire department’s annual BBQ on Saturday, Oct. 10. (See Bits & Pieces on page 5.)

Parks and Recreation. Chairman Bill Ed-wards said Phase IIA of Oak Ridge Town Park is behind schedule because the original completion date of early Septem-ber was based on incorrect information. He expects the project to be completed two to three weeks after it stops raining.

Due to the heavy rain, the final Music in the Park event of the season was rescheduled for Oct. 24 at 6:30 p.m. The Tyler Millard Band will be performing.

COUNCIL COMMENTSCouncilmen thanked volunteers on

the town’s boards and committees.

Councilman Ray Combs noted he pays more in Rotary Club dues than he does to live in Oak Ridge.

Councilman George McClellan said the town is gratified for the support it

has received in opposition to HB799.

Councilman Jim Kinneman said the Oak Ridge Lions Club will have its annual golf tournament on Oct. 17 at Pleasant Ridge Golf Course. Sponsors and players are needed.

Regarding the upcoming municipal election on Nov. 3, Kinneman added, “If you don’t vote, you’re saying you’re okay with whoever is elected. Make your opinion heard. We have some excellent candidates running.”

Councilman Mike Stone advised citi-zens to find and meet the town council candidates.

Sullivan told everyone to look out for their neighbors during the weather that was expected Oct. 2-4.

The meeting adjourned at 7:33 p.m.

Ridge Town Council praised the work the CrossFit owners have done since the town reissued the gym’s temporary Certificate of Occupancy, which was good through Oct. 5.

“Kudos to CrossFit,” Schneider said during the HPC’s report to the town council last Thursday, Oct. 1. “The new windows and architectural trim details re-ally look terrific.”

Councilman Jim Kinneman agreed. “The addition of the windows has

made a world of difference. It looks really nice, especially at night when you drive by and see the windows and the central door lit up,” he said.

“It really stands out as a building now, and that’s in large part due to the perseverance of the town staff and HPC,” Kinneman continued. “I know it’s been frustrating, but I think we’re getting some really good benefits out of it, and it highlights why we have guidelines, so the building is compatible with the rest of the town.”

Mayor Spencer Sullivan thanked CrossFit.

“I would be remiss if I didn’t thank Chad Gimbert (CrossFit co-owner) and CrossFit’s efforts to bring the building into compliance,” he said. “The results speak for themselves… it looks really good.”

Nighthawks’ comeback falls shortFINAL: Eastern Alamance 41, Northern Guilford 33

by L.A. LOGANDown 28-3 late in the third quarter,

Northern’s comeback attempt fell short last Monday; when the clock ran out, East-ern Alamance scored the win, 41-33.

“We competed,” said head coach Johnny Roscoe. “That’s the only thing I asked them to do. We kept going until the very end.”

In the first quarter, shortly after stop-ping the Eagles on fourth-and-1, North-ern’s CJ Freeman took a direct snap from the formation that netted 44 yards and a touchdown; however, an illegal formation

penalty wiped out the score.

Trailing 14-0, Miles Timmons aired out his first completion to Tristen Simmons for 48 yards, which set up a 32-yard field goal by Ethan Reeder. Eastern Alamance led at halftime 21-3.

After halftime, Freeman countered an Eagles’ score with a 15-yard touchdown run; but the Nighthawks still trailed 28-10.

On Northern’s next offensive drive, Timmons found Jon Sessoms for an 18-yard completion. A few plays later, Free-man’s 15-yard touchdown was called back because of a holding penalty.

However, Simmons, who totaled six receptions for 91 yards, saved the day when he caught a 24-yard touchdown on fourth

and 20 between multiple Eastern defenders.“In the huddle, Miles was saying, ‘It’s

fourth down guys, this is six,’” said Sim-mons. “I’m running my route and I see the ball coming; I said to myself ‘I have to make a play,’ and I came down with it in the end zone.”

Timmons completed 12 of 19 passes for 172 yards and three touchdowns. The senior threw two of his three touchdowns to Ford Moser and Max Maynard in the fourth quarter.

“There was never any doubt in our mind that we could hang with a team like Eastern,” Timmons said. “This was a moral victory ... We want the real wins, but you have to look at something in a positive light.

You have to take what you can from it.”

LOOKING BACK | Jay Hardy forced Eastern’s only turnover by stripping the ball from an Eagles’ running back and Stephen Scott recovered it.

Sawyer Lemoi, who recorded 10 tack-les, returned to action after a knee injury he suffered last season.

COMING UP | “They don’t have a choice (but to play like they did in the fourth quar-ter next game),” said Roscoe. “We only have two days to get ready for Rockingham.”

Northern (3-3, 1-2) hits the road to face the Rockingham County Cougars (4-3, 3-1) on Friday, Oct. 9. The Nighthawks hold a perfect 6-0 all-time record over the Cougars.

Defense lifts Northwest past Reidsville 27-14Northwest Vikings 27, Reidsville Rams 14

Ignoring the rain-soaked field, North-west Guilford’s defense shut down Reids-ville’s rushing attack for a 27-14 win last Thursday, Oct. 1.

“The defense has done a great job of playing sound football,” said head coach Jared Rolfes. “Our defense is doing a great job of creating turnovers.”

After a 17-yard touchdown run from running back Kyle Finnie and a 1-yard score by quarterback Jake Smith, the Vikings entered halftime tied 14-14 with Reidsville.

Following intermission, Caleb Homol entered the game at quarterback and cre-ated a spark, said Rolfes.

Homol’s 52-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Tre Turner increased North-west’s lead to 21-14 in the third quarter. Turner led the receivers with five catches for 80 yards.

“Tre looked extremely athletic in space,” said Rolfes.

Until linebacker Jacob Fields’ inter-ception that set up Finnie’s second touch-down from two yards out, the Vikings’ offense stalled, missing out on potential big plays, admitted Rolfes.

The Vikings scored all 13 points off of Rams’ turnovers in the second half.LOOKING BACK | “We struggled to do routine stuff,” said Rolfes.”It could have been (weather) condition related.” COMING UP | “(Thomas) Hennigan has got to touch the ball more,” said Rolfes. “And Tre has got to touch it more. We have to look at how we can balance that a little bit and not be afraid of the quarterbacks to make mistakes this week.”

Northwest (5-1) opens up confer-ence play at Ragsdale (1-4) on Friday, Oct. 9. The Vikings have won four in a row against the Tigers, including a 27-7 victory last season.

LETTERS/OPINIONS

GRINS to... Those who keep Oak

Ridge clean of litter, picking up trash when they see it and leaving the town just a little cleaner each time. It is just another reason I enjoy calling Oak Ridge my hometown!

CrossFit for coming into compliance with Oak Ridge’s Historic Preservation Design Guidelines.

P&M Restaurant, for 58 years of good food, great wait staff and won-derful fellowship! Sadly, the restaurant closed on Sept. 30.

Dr. Matt Olmsted and his staff for providing lunch to the teachers and staff at Oak Ridge Elementary on our most recent early release day. Such a wonderful treat!

Doug Nodine, candidate for Oak Ridge Town Council, for leading the res-toration work on the Ai Church project. This historic structure adds yet another

dimension to our community and is an-other reason I enjoy living in Oak Ridge.

NWHS for loaning Summerfield Elementary your Viking mascot for our annual RUN event. It is so generous and kind of you and is such a hit for our students. We are so appreciative of your generous spirit each year!

The Jumping Bean coffee drive-through (U.S. 220 in Summerfield) for sponsor-ing the Ride for Hospice at Summerfield Farms, and for being open on Sunday!

Dr Julie Dudak, for taking in Lou and Oscar (two Great Dane puppies with special needs – see article in NWO’s Oct. 2-8 issue). I wish we had thousands more people like her. Thank you so much for loving animals the way they de-serve to be loved. You will be rewarded greatly from their unconditional love.

ACCEPTING NEW PATIENTS

Preserve the propertyWhy must landowners decimate the

land? I’m talking about the Oak Ridge So-ciety Foundation who owns the lot at the beginning of Zack Road and behind the houses on the west side of Zack Road.

Talk is they’re planning to raze the woods back there. There’s a lot of old growth trees and a tributary of the Haw River. Why do this? Haven’t these guys

got enough money? Haven’t we lost enough foliage with the new bypass?

Here’s an idea – offer to sell some acres to the homeowners. I’ll buy the acreage behind my house and leave it natural for the owls, pileated woodpeck-ers, foxes, turkeys and deer.

AVAILABLE ANIMALS

Talk about unique! DEBO has a look that makes him stand out in a crowd! Debo is a 4-year-old male Labrador Retriever mix with a playful, energetic personality. He loves making new friends, but has decided that cats really aren’t his thing, so Debo would be best for a cat-free home. He is neutered and up-to-date on shots, and ready to meet his new family. For more info on Debo or any of the other animals waiting to go home, call the Guilford County Animal Shelter, or call (336) 297-5020.
