N.C. 150 resurfacing project nears completionInitially scheduled for completion on June 30, the project should be completed by July 8
by PATTI STOKES
OAK RIDGE/SUMMERFIELD – The resurfacing of a five-mile segment of N.C. 150, from N.C. 68 in Oak Ridge to 357 feet west of the new center line of U.S. 220, was partially finished by the anticipated June 30 project completion date; a few more days are needed, however, before the project is wrapped up.
Traveling east on N.C. 150 from N.C. 68, a two-foot shoulder has been
added to each side of the road and the road has been resurfaced, up to where an I-73 interchange will be built and a segment of N.C. 150 relocated in Summerfield.
On the east side of the future inter-change, shoulders had been added
but only half of N.C. 150 resur-faced as of July 5. The rest,
which will include tying the resurfacing in with side
streets, should be done within the next few days, said NCDOT en-

Fireworks, thunder and lightning have animals spookedNW GUILFORD COUNTY – Besides the fireworks that many residents enjoy around the July 4 holiday, thunder and lightning storms are much more com-monplace this time of year and can send pets into fits of whining, panting and un-controllable quivering at the first flash of light or bolt of thunder. As confirmation, the Northwest Observer has received sev-eral calls and emails asking for help with lost and found animals in recent weeks.
Though you might enjoy the fireworks and watching the storms, be mindful that your pets may suffer from “storm anxiety,” so take extra care to make sure they are safely secured at night and during thunderstorms; additionally, have their collars and ID tags on should they get scared and break away from your home as some in our area have (as of our printer deadline, we were still trying to help owners of a Doberman and pygmy
goat duo from Stokesdale, and two lab-rador retrievers from Stokesdale find their way home).
Ask your vet about options for treat-ing storm anxiety, which may range from calming practices to medication or putting your pet in a product such as a Thundershirt, Storm Defender or Anxiety Wrap. Famed dog trainer Cesar Millan also recommends behavior modification techniques and finding a safe, storm-proof place for your pet to ride out the storm.
If your pet becomes lost – or if you find someone else’s pet – post a picture and description of the animal, along with your contact information, at facebook.com/LostFoundPetsOfTheTriad. Pending our availability, the Northwest Observer is also happy to help northwest Guilford County residents reunite with their lost pets – message us the above information at facebook.com/NorthwestObserver.

Jim Kinneman, a member of Oak Ridge Lions Club, con-firmed that the Lions Club
does still collect glasses.
“Any Lions Club member will take them, or they can be left at Oak Ridge Town Hall (8315 Linville Road) for me,” Kinneman said. “Also, Goodwill (in Oak Ridge Commons shopping center) has a collection box set up for us.”

hood can’t even have clotheslines, yet there’s nothing being done to clean up this property!
Located at 2400 Fleming Road, this house sits off the road a bit and appears to have
a small parking lot in front of it. The windows have been boarded up, shingles and siding are coming loose and there’s broken glass around the house. Neighbors say it’s been in this condition for a while.
A weathered paper sign on the front door states the house was condemned on June 17, 2015.
According to Guilford County
property records, R.J. Calton of Raleigh has owned this house since April 2000. Before that it was owned by his father, Greensboro businessman W.C. Cal-ton, Jr., who died in July 1990.
Based on the March 13, 2012 meet-ing minutes from the City of Greens-boro’s Minimum Housing Standards Commission, problems with the prop-erty surfaced in June 2010, when a city housing inspector determined that repairs needed to be made to it.
At the 2012 meeting, Inspector Lori Loosemore told the commission the prop-erty had been visited on March 8, 2012, and that there were “more than five

separate types of violations of any of the minimum housing standard codes.” The violations list included peeling paint, holes, rot, obstructed downspouts, unsound doors and more. At that time, there were no major concerns with the interior of the home.
Calton attended the meeting and complained about vandalism, but agreed that repairs needed to be com-pleted. The commission instructed him to come up with a timeline to bring the home’s exterior up to code.
Calton appeared before the com-mission again a month later, but rather
than providing a timeline for repairs, he announced he didn’t intend to do any-thing to the property until he spoke with the police chief about protection against vandalism and break-ins.
Four years later, the house remains in much the same condition and the City of Greensboro is still dealing with the property.
Beth Benton, the division manager for code compliance for the City of Greensboro, confirmed the house is currently on the city’s list for demolition; however, she’s hoping to be able to save the property.

“The house was con-demned because of failure to make repairs,” Benton said. “It’s still in livable condition and is one of a handful of houses on the pending list for demolition. We’re trying to save all the (houses) that are worth saving.”
To avoid demolition, Benton is looking at the pos-sibility of the city handling the
property repairs. A new city housing ordinance which went into effect in January 2016 would allow the city to repair the condemned property and then put a lien on the house.
Benton also said a num-ber of investors have been interested in purchasing the property, but she’s been told the owner isn’t interested in selling.

by ANNETTE JOYCEAs a 5-year-old, Seth Flowers fell in love
with playing baseball. He started out with T-ball and, like most of the other young-sters on his team, struggled to figure out the game and learn the necessary skills.
A decade later, Seth, a handsome 15-year-old with a winning smile, is still playing baseball; while he’s progressed in the sport, however, his struggles have continued.
“Seth has a neurological disorder which causes hand tremors that can sometimes affect his throwing, holding and swinging the bat, and keeping his hand in the glove without his fingers turning blue,” said his mother, Rainelle Flowers, who lives just
A season of
ChanGeoutside of Summerfield with her four children.
“It also makes it hard for him to process and remember things like other kids his age. As much as he tries, all of the multi-step directions that he needs to be successful on the field are hard for him to accomplish.”
Season after sea-son, Rainelle has sat in the stands and shouted out directions for her son to follow. He was always last at bat and never had a hit. Some-times parents and teammates weren’t as kind and understand-ing as she wished they would have been. It was hard, and Seth
admits there were times he wanted to quit.
But he never gave up. Because what Seth lacks in ability, he makes up for in determination and perseverance.

reation Association’s Colt League and ended up on the Summerfield Braves team coached by Robert Bell.
“Being the last batter for every single game that you have ever played in your life can take a toll on a child’s confi-dence and self-esteem,” said Rainelle. “From the very first practice, Coach Bell took Seth aside and worked with him, actually worked one-on-one with him.”
The kind of coach every parent wish-es their child had, Bell saw Seth’s poten-tial early on. “Sometimes you don’t draft a player because of his skills,” said Bell. “There are a lot of things you measure a young man’s worth by.”
Having spent a couple of years as a teacher, Bell recalls working with other kids like Seth.
“A lot of times I’ve seen that those are the kids who work the hardest,” Bell said.
“Hard-working” definitely describes Seth. As the season progressed, his baseball skills improved and his confi-dence grew. His teammates accepted him and encouraged him.
“No one bashed him when he made mistakes or did not understand some-thing,” said Rainelle.
According to Bell, Seth did more than just play ball – he was constantly encouraging his teammates and never had a negative word to say. No matter how the game was going, Bell said Seth was always upbeat and polite.
To Rainelle’s delight, Seth started hit-ting the ball and making it to the bases.
Bell said one of those hits will remain
the highlight of the season for him. He recalled how Seth had a first-base hit, then stole second, stole third and ran home to score a run for the team.
“We were down in the game by a run and with his base hit, we won the game,” said Bell. “Seth had a big grin on his face and the other team’s coach, who had coached Seth a few years be-fore, took Seth aside and told him how proud he was of him.”
Speaking of proud, Bell feels that
way about all of his players, including his 15-year-old son, Riley, who is also a member of the team. He said he enjoys the opportunity to be able to work with such outstanding young men.
“I like being around my son and all the kids,” he said. “They make me feel young and they make me laugh.”
Rainelle said Bell goes out of his way to get to know his players, build their confidence and bond them as a team. There was the Wendy’s dinner that he paid for, which got the kids to open up and get to know each other off the field. And everyone on the team loved it when the coach took them to the store after practices for a Yahoo drink, “the official drink of the Summerfield Braves.”
Rainelle said Seth is thinking this might be his last year playing baseball.
“Either way, I am so thankful for all of the people who believe in these kids and make SRA such a great program,” she said. “Most of all, I am thankful for people like Coach Bell, who are changing (these kids’) lives. Seth’s experience this season has changed his life for the better.”

Oak Ridge United Methodist welcomes new clergy couple on July 10by PATTI STOKES
Craig and Abby Kocher know first-hand the challenges of balancing the demands of full-time workloads while growing and nurturing a young family. As pastors, the couple has ministered in separate locations for the last two years while also raising their three-year-old and three-month old daughters.
Before his recent appointment as senior pastor of Oak Ridge United Methodist Church, Craig, 40, worked at Duke University, Davidson College, and for the last seven years as the University of Richmond’s chaplain. While there, he worked on and created several faith-based programs.
Abby, who will take on the role of associate pastor at ORUMC, has worked in the non-profit sector and ministered at churches in North Carolina and Virginia.
Serving in pastoral roles at separate churches for the last few years has been “doable,” Craig says. “We’ve had seasons and learned from not working on the same staff – but we are thrilled about working together and excited about being in a community that is so vibrant.”
The Kochers are also excited about coming to a community that welcomes them in their present stage of life and about working with so many families who are going through the same chal-lenges as they are.
Before learning they had been as-signed to ORUMC, the Kochers say they knew only a little about the church and the Oak Ridge community.
“We knew of Michael and Karen (Kurtz, the church’s pastors for the last 10 years) and the kind of quality of life in this community,” says Craig. “It’s only been in the last several weeks that we’ve been able to get a much better idea of the kind of place it is.
“We recognize that this is a transition – for Michael and Karen, for us and for the congregation. The beautiful thing is we get to do all this together,” Craig says.
Craig grew up in the church, and says as he got further into his under-graduate studies at UNC-Carolina, he began to realize that being a pastor
“would be a meaningful life.”
He “answered the call” by enrolling in divinity school at Duke University.
It was at Duke that Craig met Abby, who at the time was an undergraduate at the university (she later also gradu-ated from Duke Divinity School).
“Neither of us grew up thinking we were going to be a minister,” Abby says.
The Kochers are also excited about

They happen to everyone – those “Wish I hadn’t said that!” or “Oh, Lord, why did I do that?” moments that find us red-faced and wanting to sink through the floor. Some of us are more prone to foot-in-mouth disease than others, or have an inherent talent for finding ourselves in the most preposter-ous predicaments.
I have my share of noteworthy and memorable times when I wished I could just magically disappear. The most recent one was when I had hired an old friend to do yard work and other chores
for me. He appeared at my door with another gentleman helper whose face I did not see, already busy moving some of my potted plants in preparation for stain-ing my deck. Sometime later, from inside, I observed my friend hard at work with a big brush, getting the job done.
Having established a warm cama-raderie over many years, my friend and I enjoy playing an oc-casional joke on one another. Expecting some of my bushes to be trimmed, I sought out my heavy-duty machete with a long and wicked-looking blade. Seeing what I thought was my old friend working diligently – in jest, I flung open the door, brandished the lethal-looking machete in the air, and yelled (with intended mal-ice), “This is what I’ll get you with if you don’t do the job right!”
At that moment, an extremely star-tled Vietnamese stranger straightened up, and with big-eyed excitement, cried out – “I do it right! I do it right!”
I quietly withdrew in mortification, but laughed myself silly the rest of the morning.
Later, the stranger sat at my kitchen table at lunch time, seeming to be none the worse for wear. He proceeded to

teach me a few words in his language. I longed to instruct him as to the defini-tion of “crazy woman,” but thought I would “let sleeping dogs lie” …
I am often reminded of my dear Oak Ridge pal, Betty Donnell (now deceased). In her later years, this special lady suffered with a debilitating condi-tion, yet remained the proverbial, upbeat “sunshine girl.” She relished telling hi-larious tales of mischief, some of which landed her in hot water. One particular instance involved her and a close friend and “partner in crime.”
Donnell had made herself a red devil

costume for Halloween, and called her unsuspecting buddy over to surprise her. Clothed in the sinister, scarlet apparel complete with horns and pitchfork, Donnell slunk deviously to answer the doorbell. She threw the door open with a flourish, her forked tail slung over one arm. Greeting her visitor with a loud “Ta-Daaa!,” Betty was confronted by, not her chum, but the new local United Methodist Church minister.
Sometime in the mid-‘70s, we were to attend an out-of-town family wedding and my husband needed to purchase a white tie. On the way out, we stopped hurriedly in Kernersville and I ran into Corder’s men’s shop to find just the right accessory for my better half’s wedding attire. Inside, I spotted a rack of ties, grabbed a white one, rushed up to a well-dressed gentleman, plunked money (and tie) in his outstretched hand, and declared loudly, “I need to buy this now – I am in a big hurry!”
After bowing slightly and smiling
broadly, the man replied, “Hello, I’m Jimmy Green, and I’m running for lieu-tenant governor.”
With his card in hand, (which he produced with a flourish), I turned to an amused clerk and made my purchase. Though Mr. Green was to have a less than illustrious political career, my brief, chance meeting with him is engraved indelibly on my mind.
Ever wish the ground would just open and swallow you? An acquaintance re-lated how she hurriedly tugged on a pair of jeans fresh out of the dryer, anticipat-ing a date night with her “hubby.” Upon arriving at their favorite restaurant, her male counterpart whispered, “Some-thing’s hanging out of your pants leg!” Horrified, she followed his gaze, and there, for all the world to see, dangled a fancy pair of unmentionables.
I won’t soon forget the time that we had rented a car – specifically, a red one. We were leaving on a trip, and needed to make a quick stop at Dollar
General. My good husband parked in the fire lane. I sprinted inside the store, made my purchase, came out and jumped inside a red car.
From the driver’s seat, I heard an unfamiliar man’s voice say, “Honey, I would like to take you home with me, but my wife might not like it.”
How was I to know that my husband had moved our vehicle?
And then there was a past, unfor-gettable and stellar moment, when preparing for screening new kindergar-ten students. A lovely, vivacious little girl tripped into the room followed by a female adult. I asked the sweet child’s name, and turning, said brightly, “And you have brought your grandmother today!”
The lady replied, with a stony glare, “I beg your pardon – I am her mother!”
I think we both avoided each other when possible, the rest of the school year …

Everyone doesn’t enjoy fi reworksThis is concerning fireworks in
neighborhoods. There should be more consideration for those of us who don’t appreciate this practice. In our case, we have an 85-pound dog which is terrified when these things are going off and it’s very hard to comfort her and get her to settle down.
I know we can’t be the only ones who are going through this. The fire-
works usually start around midnight and can last for an hour or more. It’s not un-usual for it to take a couple hours to get our dog to settle down when it’s over.
I am not anti-fireworks, but they should be done by professionals and not in neighborhoods. Please be consider-ate, because there are some who aren’t enjoying your fun.

“It wasn’t the family job passed down to either of us. Even when I went to divinity school, I knew there was some sort of call from God, but I didn’t know what that was going to look like.”
It was through education and intern-ships that Abby confirmed her path into ministry.
“I have a deep, deep love for the church. That was something I was blessed with in childhood, having a family that was very involved in the church,” she says.
On a lighter note, Craig points out that even though he spent a lot of time at Duke and Abby earned both of her degrees there, he is very much a Carolina fan and Abby is very much a Duke fan.
“We’re both pretty serious about our basketball!” he says with a laugh that you get the impression has a ring of truth to it.
The Kochers married 15 years ago.
“We think of marriage as a voca-tion,” says Craig. “You step into it on faith but also on some sense of con-fidence that you’ll be given what you need. Not to say that it won’t be chal-lenging. I remind myself that everyone will face significant challenges. But so
do people in our congregation. To work hard, to have a family life that is com-plex …that’s one of the ways that in this context, we can help one another.”
While acknowledging that being a cler-gy couple and simultaneously focusing on their family isn’t easy, Abby adds, “When you’re doing something out of calling, it gives you joy. It isn’t just depleting.”
When he isn’t ministering and spend-ing time with his family, Craig enjoys “outdoors stuff,” like hiking and fly fishing – and anything that involves a ball. He also enjoys traveling and hanging out with the family’s golden retriever, Maggie, who he says is a wonderful companion.
Abby enjoys swimming and taking walks, whether alone, with the family or with Maggie. “I just enjoy being in the beautiful creation that God has put us in,” she says.
The couple also spends a lot of time reading and writing.
As the Kochers settle into their new home, they look forward to assuming their new roles at ORUMC, and to meeting members of the church’s congregation and establishing roots in the community.

Assistant principal named GCS Employee of the MonthCOLFAX – When the principal at Col-fax Elementary took medical leave un-expectedly in March, assistant principal Julie Kimsey added “interim principal” to her responsibilities. And those who work closest with her say she didn’t miss a beat.
To show their appreciation, the staff at Colfax submitted more than 20 nomi-nations for Kimsey to become July GCS Employee of the Month, and on June 22 she was surprised with the news that she had won.
Kimsey says she learned a lot during her three months as interim principal, in-cluding how to delegate, and adds that she’s happy to have principal Michelle Thigpen back in the building. She also credits her staff with making the role easier for her.
“She has handled every challenge with warmth, humor and compassion,” says Marjorie Whitlock, second-grade
teacher at Colfax. “I can only imag-ine the burden all this extra stress has been on her, but she’s got it all covered. I am so thankful that we have such an incredible leader to take charge in Mrs. Thigpen’s absence; you could give her a $1 million bonus, and it wouldn’t be enough. I can think of no other em-ployee who deserves special recognition more than Julie Kimsey!”
As Employee of the Month, Kim-sey will receive a $50 gift card from Sam’s Club, which has given more than $6,000 to outstanding GCS employees since 2005. During the month of July, her photo will hang at the district’s cen-tral offices, at Colfax Elementary and at the Sam’s Club on Wendover Avenue.

NCDOT celebratesthree-year milestoneNORTH CAROLINA – On June 26, 2013, Gov. Pat McCrory signed the Strategic Transportation Investments law, which transformed the way the state prioritizes and pays for much-needed transportation projects. Under the new law, projects are funded based on the ability to reduce con-gestion, increase safety and promote economic growth.
The goal of the law is to more efficiently invest the state’s existing transportation dollars to better connect North Carolinians and support more jobs. NCDOT reports the process has exceeded initial estimates and is fund-ing nearly three times as many projects
and supporting nearly twice as many jobs as the previous formula.
The new law also resulted in one of the most comprehensive transpor-tation plans in state history – funding nearly 1,100 projects across all modes of transportation, including improve-ments in each of the state’s 100 counties. NCDOT says these improve-ments will better connect communi-ties to critical destinations and open the door to new opportunities for generations to come.

cause a worker was only allowing 10 to 12 cars to go through at one time. “Once we realized we had an issue, we corrected that quickly,” he said.
When the widening of U.S. 220 and the I-73 interchange at N.C. 150 has been completed, a continuous section of N.C. 150, from N.C. 68 in Oak Ridge to the new center line of U.S. 220 in Summerfield, will be resurfaced.
Ingram explained that out of safety concerns for drivers dropping off the shoulders and over-correcting, shoul-ders along N.C. 150 were expanded by two feet – except for areas around the military academy, where drivers may notice the road is slightly narrower. That’s largely out of consideration for the historic area and the existence of several stately trees whose roots the DOT wanted to avoid disrupting.

The second agenda item dates back to April, when Summerfield Mayor Mark Brown presented a Memorandum of Understanding in which Reidsville, Madi-son, Mayodan, Stokesdale, Oak Ridge and Summerfield were asked to agree to work in collaboration with Rockingham County to support a regional water initia-tive for water supply planning and future economic development.
