Community members share memories of Sept. 11, 2001

by JIM FULLERand PATTI STOKES

NW GUILFORD Darlene page of Summerfield vividly remembers the moment 12 years ago when she heard terrorists had flown planes into the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York City.

I was at work when one of my em-ployees came to me and whispered, A plane has just flown into one of the twin towers in New York. I remember looking at her like she had grown

another head, page said.

As they scrambled to gather more information, page got a call that a close friend was in the hotel next door to the towers conducting a training session. paige Boyd and her group were evacuated into the streets, where they were enveloped in a cloud of dirt, dust and debris.

paige eventually made it across the bridge to N.J., where she stayed with friends until she could return home. Her sister, Kelley Groce, was at that time minister of Summerfield United Methodist Church. Groce held a spe-cial service that evening for members to gather and pray for those who lost

their lives that day, where we could hold hands, cry, pray, and just be there for each other, page remembers.

So very many heroes were lost that day, page says, while also recogniz-ing those who survived. paige Boyd is among those heroes. Her sense of safety and security were taken from her that day, but she has fought to get it back, and she has succeeded. I am so very proud of her and the inspiration that she and others have been to us since that tragic day. God bless all who were and still are affected by that day.

OAK RIDGE Dawn Mcpherson, a DOT traffic engineer, has visited Oak Ridge elementary on more than one occasion since students returned to school on Aug. 26. So has Angelo Kidd, a regional school superintendent with Guilford County Schools, along with transportation and other school

system personnel. Unfortunately, they werent just making a social visit. They came to assess the traffic situation at Oak Ridge elementary School on week-day mornings between about 7:10 and 7:40 a.m. when a couple hun-dred cars turn into the school entrance and line up to drop their children off.

The resulting traffic backups on Lin-ville Road and Highway 150 have been a source of frustration for many parents, as well as commuters, and Denise Fran-cisco, the schools principal, wants the community to know shes doing all she can to find a solution.

Francisco attended the Oak Ridge Town Council meeting on Sept. 5 to apprise the town of the problem, and to ask for its support.

The elementary school has about 680 students and 75 staff members in the building each day, in addition to par-ents and volunteers who come and go.

As the person bearing a great deal of responsibility for the safety of our children and the staff members at Oak Ridge elementary, I at times have to make decisions and policies that not every single person is going to like and may indeed cause inconvenience for some, Francisco told the council. At all times know that a childs safety is the ultimate goal and any decisions about the use of our car rider line come out of a strong desire to keep our school and community safe.

Francisco explained to council mem-bers that several incidents at schools throughout the country prompted her to be more proactive this year in monitoring foot traffic in and out of the school.

picture yourself as a school admin-istrator standing on the edge of your schools campus or in the hallway and seeing 100 or more adults approach-ing the campus from various directions from areas you cant even see. You cannot differentiate who is a parent because as hard as you might try, it is hard to know the faces and names of all parents of 700 students. You might also have spouses of co-workers who forgot their lunch, or grandparents, or neigh-bors approaching the school. You really

dont know. And then you realize that of all the adults coming from all around, there indeed could be a crazed person approaching the school to do harm How am I to know if that person is mixed in this crowd? How do I know if they have entered our school? Would you not act would you not make a decision to ask parents to please stop parking and walking towards the school each morn-ing to bring their child to school?

Melissa Stallings, the schools pTO president, also addressed the council and expressed her support for school staff, who she said had been fighting a battle for years, especially in the early morning hours before school starts, when there are a lot of cars coming and going in a short period of time. Stallings explained that much of the current congestion stems from parents leaving the schools front entrance after dropping their children off, then attempting to turn left onto Linville Road and left again onto Highway 150.

The best solution, Francisco and Stallings said, may be a no-left-turn onto Linville Road from the schools front parking lot during specified times of day.

I cant imagine any other job in our society more significantly difficult than being a school principal, Mayor Ray Combs said to Francisco.

But, I have to ask why do parents feel compelled to drive their kids to school when there is a perfectly legiti-mate alternate way to get them there (the school bus)? Combs then asked.

Francisco said some elementary stu-dents are picked up by the bus as early as 6:30 a.m., which some parents feel is much too early for their childs school day to begin.

The principal assured council that the issue has her full attention and she will continue to work closely with DOT and the school system to find ways to reduce the vehicle backups in the morn-ing. On behalf of the town, Combs of-fered to support her in any way possible.

Well miss you, Dr. BramleyWith love from all of us here at Forsyth Pediatrics Oak Ridge, patients and families

Center and eaten in one of its restaurants.

It is hard to believe that it is gone, pelc says. As a former New Yorker, I feel this incident touched me more than it might others. It is like your hometown was being attacked. My brother lost several friends that day. No one will ever forget what happened, but with any luck and a lot of faith, we will heal. We will be able to look back at that day with only posi-tive thoughts of how many people came together as a country to help one another and put all differences aside in light of that tragic day.

Oak Ridge resident Cindy Reise and her family were living 40 miles south of the pentagon when the tragedy of 9/11 unfolded.

My husband was working at the Academy on (Marine Corps Base) Quantico at that time, Reise says. The base went on lockdown for a while and I remember worrying about a lot of our friends and neighbors at the pentagon. By noon, the smoke from the wreck-age was blowing over our house and neighborhood and the skies were totally quiet of air traffic, which was unheard of around there. It was my sons second day of kindergarten and my daughters 8th birthday. It was hard trying to keep some-what of a sense of normalcy for them and inside, our hearts were aching for all of those families affected everywhere.

Throughout our area, tributes were paid to those we lost and to those who put their lives on the line to protect us, as so many courageous men and women did on Sept. 11, 2001. In downtown Stokesdale, a 9/11 remembrance ceremony was held on Saturday, Sept. 7 in Linear park.

About three dozen people attended the ceremony. Stokesdale town council-man Frank Bruno, guest speaker, said it was important to remember those people who put their lives on the line every day.

The Marine Corps League was repre-sented by Les Leamons, Joe Vodenichar

and Chat Brewster. David Bailey, pastor of Crossroads Community Church, read from the fourth chapter of Jeremiah. Also referencing scriptures from the New Testament, Bailey encouraged those in attendance to nurture forgiveness and love rather than retribution and hate.

After the service, Stokesdale resident Doug Mack talked about being in phila-delphia on Sept. 11, 2001. He was working that day and aware of what had trans-pired, but he didnt get a chance to look at a news account of the attack until that evening. I was numb, he remembers. I drove home the next day to North Caro-lina. There were no airplanes in the sky.

Donna McCall, Stokesdales deputy town clerk, didnt have any family mem-bers or close friends directly affected by the terrorist attacks. Still, when she learned of the attacks she says she felt like she had been physically accosted, and that everything had been taken away from her. I did not recover from that for some bit of time.

After 9/11, McCall said she just

wanted to see all of her loved ones and know that they were OK. I literally lost all the security in my life as an American, she says. We were all so vulnerable.

Of the lingering effects, McCall said after the attacks she started taking her life more seriously. It forever changes the way I look at things. The respect for our service members; our firemen; our police officers; and in general, life itself. That flowers grow and seasons change.

The effects of 9/11 linger in another way for McCall. Yesterday I heard a really loud noise, she said after the remembrance service. Is it a plane? Are we being attacked? It still flashes back.

McCalls son, Travis Lovern, is a firefighter in Kernersville. Another son, Jason, was at one time a volunteer fire-fighter in Stokesdale.

The ceremony on Sept. 7 made her proud to think there are people who still remember and are not afraid to stand up and show their belief in their country, she said. For the population of Stokesdale, this was very good.

as reported by PATTI STOKES

OAK RIDGE town council

Mayor Ray Combs called the meeting to order at 7 p.m. Mayor Pro Tem Roger Howerton said his granddaughter and great-grandchild had been involved in an accident earlier that morning in front of Oak Ridge elementary School, and he was thankful they were okay; he then led everyone in a moment of silence.

Minutes from the Aug. 1 meeting and closed session were approved.

AnnounCEMEnTsOn behalf of the Oak Ridge Lions

Club, Jim Kinneman invited community members to participate in the organi-zations golf tournament on Sept. 7 at Dawn Acres.

ToWn MAnAGER REPoRTTown Manager Bruce Oakley re-

quested phyllis Anders and paul Greiwe be approved as alternates and Madeline Magby as youth representative on the parks & Recreation Commission, and patti paslaru as alternate on the plan-ning & Zoning Board. All four volunteers were unanimously approved.

4 0 Council also approved Oakleys request to unseal minutes from closed executive sessions prior to Decem-ber 2011.

4 0 Additionally, Council unanimously approved renewing the towns annual contribution of $5,000 for the USGS monitoring well on Town Hall property (the $5,000 will come from next years budget). A graph was presented to council which shows the ups and downs of water levels in the last several years (despite all the rain this summer, the wa-ter table is lower than it was at the same time in the three previous years).

PuBliC HEARinGsPedestrian Transportation Plan. Jesse Day with pTRCOG (piedmont Triad Re-gional Council of Governments) present-ed a draft comprehension transportation

plan. NCDOT is still reviewing the plan.

On a background note, Day said the plan is long-range and comprehensive (about 20 years out). He stressed that it provides a vision for the future and is not regulatory or binding, nor is it fiscally constraining.

A key goal of the plan is to provide paths for citizens to safely walk between homes, schools, businesses and parks and connect with regional greenways and trails.

One of the plans short-term goals is to connect the school to the town park and town core and acquire easements for walkways and trails. providing a way for 20 percent of children who live near the elementary school to be able to walk to the school is also a goal of the plan.

The town core is well-suited for walk-ing between destinations (school and town park, for example), but Highway 150 and N.C. 68 are barriers that must be crossed, Day pointed out. The piedmont Greenway and Haw River Trail present regional trail connection options.

With the completion of I-73 in the future and the resulting reduction in truck traffic through the town, Day said Oak Ridge will have an opportunity to re-look at the N.C. 150 and 68 intersection and consider making it more of a gateway into the town.

Day presented a list of the pedestrian Steering Committees Top 10 recom-mended projects, which he said were re-inforced by public feedback. The majority of the projects would focus on areas along N.C. 150 and Linville Road, including the intersection at the elementary school.

Proponents Jim Kinneman said making the town

more walkable has been near and dear to my heart since I moved here, and the connectivity and walkability of a town defi-nitely increased the sense of community.

Randy Schmitz said increasing physi-cal activities for all citizens was impor-





tant, and implementing the pedestrian plan would help toward that effort.

CounCil disCussion Howerton said he would not stand in

the way of the plan, but was hesitant to see it take a higher priority than a water system, which he had been working on for years. When it comes to the tax-ing of the citizens of Oak Ridge, I had much rather see our tax revenues used for municipal water than a sidewalk, the councilman said. Now, I backed the sidewalk from the school, the section that is incomplete. But I have a little bit of a problem seeing Oak Ridge turned into a Greensboro.

Howerton added he could visualize some of the sidewalks suggested in the plan, especially those in the town core, but struggled to visualize others. I would personally like to see Oak

Ridge stay Oak Ridgey, if we can do that, said Councilman Danny Yanusz. The I-73 connector could have a differ-ent impact than what we foresee we live in a society that has become increas-ingly unhealthy and if there are ways we can encourage people to get moving, we should do that. Councilman George McClellan said

he noticed several kids walking from the shopping center toward the swim club a few days earlier, and he supported the pedestrian plan because it was about public safety. Mayor Combs explained that council

couldnt vote on the plan because DOT had not signed off on it yet, then em-phasized that even if/when council did vote to approve the plan (which would likely be in October), it was simply an endorsement and nothing else.

Text Amendment 4 0 In order to comply with a recently approved state law, Council ap-proved a text amendment to the towns ordinance which pertained to the Board of Adjustment.

CoMMuniTY uPdATEsParks & Recreation. Chairman Bill ed-wards reminded everyone of upcoming

events in the park. On Sept. 14 there will be another Music in the park event from 6 to 8:30 p.m. at Shelter 2. A community yard sale is planned for later this fall. Historic Preservation. Debbie Schoenfeld said the commission recently approved two COAs for the O.R. Foundation. His-toric marker dedication ceremonies are being planned. Mack McAtee is working on an artifacts display case at Town Hall that will have ever-changing exhibits. The commission is seeking alternates. Planning & Zoning. Chairman Doug Nodine reported the board had recom-mended approval of patti paslaru as an alternate, and approved a site plan for an addition to Holt Hall at Oak Ridge Military Academy and a text amendment to the towns ordinance. Fire Department. Assistant Chief Sam Anders reported that Chief Steve Sim-mons is doing better after back surgery and transitioning back to work.

FinAnCE REPoRT Sam Anders reported $2.235 million

in liquid assets and receipts of $266,875 in property tax revenue in August.

4 0 Council voted to add Wells Fargo to the list of depository banks because of the banks favorable interest rates on money market type accounts.

CoMMEnTs Melissa Stallings, pTO president of

Oak Ridge elementary, Nancy Gold-finch, a parent, and Denise Francisco, principal of the school, all spoke about traffic backups on Linville Road and Highway 150 from the morning car rider line, and asked for the towns support in resolving the situation.

All four council members present ex-pressed their support to the school, and Mayor Combs assured Francisco that the town manager would call her the follow-ing morning to discuss the situation and how the town might be able to help. For more on this conversation, see article on page 1.

After a brief closed session, council adjourned the meeting at 8:52 p.m.

Welcome to ournew advertiser!Please support the businesses and organizations which make our newspaper possible, and tell them you saw them here!

KPs KEllYs PET sERViCEsKelly Grau, ownerA little background: I have been pet sitting for friends for several years, but just started KpS a couple months ago. Describe your pri-

mary service: We provide basic pet sitting visits, dog walking, pet transportation, administering medications, newspaper retrieval, plant watering and more. We will customize for each individual, and no type of animal is off limits! Is there anything unique about your business? I lost my last pet back in Febru-ary and have not gotten any since. So your pets will truly be treated like they are my own they are filling the void for me!

Business philosophy: each pet has their own personality, and I love to adapt and

figure out what each individual pet needs/likes. We dont just go in, say Hi, pick up a toy to play a little, feed them and leave. We really like to concentrate on making them happy their way while their people are away. On a personal note: I moved here almost 20 years ago from pa., met my partner, whom Ive been with for 12 years, have no children, and have had many animals (naturally!). I even kept an injured pos-sum once until it was better, much to my parents dismay.

I am a sports girl NFL, NHL and MLB. During football season, I will watch every game, no matter who is playing.

Interesting/fun facts: I grew up near pittsburgh, so I love the Steelers, pen-guins and pirates. I get back there for at least one Steelers game per season. My boyfriend (and business partner, whom I mentioned earlier) has been in the Army for almost 30 years and is a Sergeant Major. We both love to work out and I am also a fitness instructor on the side.

noRTHERn GuilFoRd niGHTHAWKs (3A, 2-0) vs. Williams Bulldogs (3A, 2-1)

Friday, Sept. 13, 7:30 p.m. AT NORTHERNSeries history | Northern leads 4-0, winning 35-7 last year in Burlington. The Nighthawks have outscored the Bull-dogs, 203-35, in the four meetings.

Meaningful stats | Sophomore C.J. Freeman rushed for 219 yards on 21 carries in last Fridays 33-7 win over Northwest Guilford. Freeman carried for more than 1,500 yards as a freshman a year ago on the junior varsity team. The Bulldogs have only lost to 4A Southern Alamance, 36-33, in their season opener and are averaging 38.3 points per game on offense, with 345 yards per game on the ground.

Looking back | Were giving up a few more yards than we have the last couple of years, first-year Nighthawks Head Coach Brian Thomas said. But we have passed for more than 100 yards in our first two games. Thomas said the turning point in last Fridays win was stopping the Vikings on fourth down at midfield with his team nursing a 13-7 lead in the second half.

Looking ahead | We lost some good players from last year, Thomas said. But were getting better every week. Williams will be explosive, the coach added, saying he expects the Bulldogs,

who run the option, to run and throw the football.

The Bulldogs fumbled three times in their first two games of the season and four times in their last game. If this trend continues it could well lead to a lopsided victory for Northern. Northern has thrown the ball effectively and this will likely cause problems for Williams as they have not faced an effective passing game yet this season. Northern can also pound the ball right up the middle. The new faces on the O-Line of the Night-hawks have become a cohesive and effective unit.

Our prediction | An early lead by Northern should not be interpreted as a predictor for the game. The Bulldogs have been behind by as much as 14 points and won the game. With that said, the Nighthawks should continue their winning ways this Friday.

How big is this game for the Night-hawks? Anybody in the conference is a big game for us, Thomas said. The Nighthawks will be looking for their 32nd consecutive win Friday night. (The state record is 74, set by Hickory Ridge-view from 1957-1965.)

noRTHWEsT GuilFoRd ViKinGs (4A, 2-1) vs. Reidsville Rams (2A, 3-0)

Friday, Sept. 13, 7:30 p.m. AT REIDSVILLESeries history | The two teams, while ri-vals in the 70s and 80s, have not played in more than a decade. More recently, they have met in scrimmages.

Meaningful stats | The Vikings, led by Keenan Scotts 259 yards, have rushed for more than 230 yards in each of their first three games, including 254 last Fri-day night against powerhouse Northern

Guilford. Reidsville, which went 11-3 last year, has outscored their first three op-ponents by a combined score of 102-14. The Rams have won more state cham-pionships than any other North Carolina high school, recording 15 since 1930.

GRINS to... Randy, the AT&T technician, for com-

Mike for his kindness in helping us take our beloved German shepherd, philo, to the veterinary hospital after be-ing hit by a car. I will never forget what you did for us that day. God bless you.

The (new, interim) town planner in Summerfield. The past month youve done more for us on getting our land surveyed then the previous lady did in six months!

Our new neighbors in Henson Forest for welcoming our family so nicely when we moved three weeks ago. Thanks for the introductions, fresh bread, gift bas-kets, and Godinos cake balls!

Northwest field hockey team for hav-ing an excellent car wash and doing a great job on my car! Go Vikings!

Joe and his crew at Arbor Masters for

coming straight to our house when their work day was already over and taking care of the 15 trees we had down, some blocking our driveway. What a caring and quick response!

everyone who helped with the first Music In The park event in the Oak Ridge Community park on Sept. 7. It was most enjoyable and a big success! Thank you to the Town of Oak Ridge for this wonderful event!

GRINS and GRIPES Joe Woodruff said the Vikings played a great first half in their 33-7 loss to Northern Guilford. Woodruff said there would be no finger-pointing for his teams loss, placing the blame on the offense, the defense, the special teams, and the coaching staff. The Vikings committed three turnovers and turned the ball over on downs in the second half after going into halftime 7-7 with the Nighthawks.

Looking ahead | Woodruff said Reids-ville is very athletic; very fast; a talented team. Woodruff called Reidsville Coach James Teague a Hall of Fame coach.

I want to see our kids respond, Wood-ruff said. On defense, I want to see us moving to the ball, lining up right, and playing fast. On offense, Woodruff said he wants to see what we did in that first half (vs. Northern Guilford) against Reidsville for four quarters. We want to throw the ball when we want to, not because we have to.

We predict | This will be a tough game for the Vikings, and the Rams will show them no mercy on turnovers or defensive weakness. To win this one, the Vikings will have to play flawlessly.

Parents are invited to stay for the opening night

(AWANA will run each Sunday through May)

AWANA is jam-packed with life-changing experiences. Our trained leaders share a love for the Lord and will

help kids memorize and understand Gods word.While having fun, your kids will learn and grow!

GRIPES to... president Obama, on Syria. This is

what you get when you elect a community organizer president. parents who teach their kids that rules

are for other people when they avoid the long car rider line (at Oak Ridge el-ementary) and walk their kids into school in the morning. Lets support the adminis-tration and keep kids safe. The people who continue to speed up

and down N.C. 68. Someone has now died because of inattentive driving. This could have been a family with children. Slow down and pay attention! The NCDOT. While the new turning

lanes at the intersection of Alcorn and N.C. 68 were needed, surely the intersec-tion could have been designed so that it is not necessary to zigzag through it in order to go straight. The person who hit my beloved German

shepherd on Highway 158 in Stokesdale on Aug. 11 and did not bother to stop. He accidentally got out of our yard. He was a beautiful and gentle family member. The person who stole the money can

from a self-serve honor system produce stand. Farmers make little money for their hard work. They have produce stands as a service for honest people. Thanks to the honest customers for their business. Those voting in favor of going into

Syria. Syrias rebels aligned with al-Qaeda control the power plant, run the bakeries and head a court that applies Islamic law. If the U.S. intervenes against Assad, it will

be supporting al-Qaeda. Tom Collins for choosing convenience

over safety (Opinions, Sept. 6-12 issue). Be sure to have that discussion with your child! Those who drive in the rain without

their headlights on. It is the law! You may see fine, but we cant see you! If your wipers are on, your headlights should be! Save a life it may be yours! The parents who let their kids run wild

through elizabeths outdoor dining area in Oak Ridge Commons on the evening of Sept. 8, while we were trying to eat. They should know better and so should you.

To myself (patti Stokes, Northwest Ob-server editor), for publishing a Gripe about a business without contacting the business owner first to get their side. I ignored my own rule of fairness and apologize to Mike Dixon, owner of Superior Wash. Editors Note: In our Aug. 30 issue we published a Gripe about Superior Wash after verifying that the homeowner had filed a complaint with BBB, saying the company had damaged their deck. How-ever, Mike Dixon denies that the damage to the homeowners deck occurred when he power washed their house in March (he says he did not power wash their deck, but another company had applied a deck sealant to it one month earlier, in February, and that the sealant was still sticky because of the cool, rainy weather). We dont know for certain who is right or wrong in this case, only that both parties involved are disputing who is responsible for the deck damage.

MisCEllAnEousSept. 4 | An employee of pine Needle LNG on Haw River Road in Oak Ridge reported a known suspect dumped tree debris and brush on the business prop-erty. The suspect was identified and he removed the debris from the property. Sept. 5 | Capt. phil Byrd of District 1 Sheriffs Office reported a motor vehicle accident involving his patrol vehicle. The

accident occurred at the intersection of pleasant Ridge Road and Old Oak Ridge Road and resulted in property damage to three vehicles and minor personal injury to one of the other drivers.

Sept. 7 | A Marlin .22 caliber rifle and 50 rounds of .22 caliber ammunition were seized from a known individual in north-ern Summerfield pursuant to a Domestic Violence protection Order.

LETTERS/OPINIONS

I support the school staff I just sat through the September Oak

Ridge Town Council meeting. During the citizens comments I was appalled as I heard concerned parents and a school ad-ministrator describe some parents behav-ior with regard to the Oak Ridge elemen-tary morning car line and child drop-off.

I will not get into details, but when I hear that a number of parents feel the need to verbally abuse individuals whose primary motive is to ensure the safety of our children along with blatantly ignoring what is asked of them and all parents, it makes me cringe. Although my child rides

the school bus and I have not seen the car line in action, the rules they have seem reasonable and in place to protect all our children.

Beyond the inexcusable aspect of disrespecting school staff for simply doing their jobs and trying to keep our children safe, what sort of message does this pa-rental behavior send to our children: The rules apply to everyone but me? If you are inconvenienced its okay, but I am too important to be inconvenienced?

As we know, our children see every-thing we do and will model their behavior based upon what they observe. Oak Ridge, we are better than this. The simple fact that our school staff has had to spend so much energy on this can only take away from their ability to most effectively edu-cate and enrich the lives of our children.

I write this as a concerned parent who supports our schools staff and wants to see more thoughtful parental behaviors.

Randy Schmitz, OAK RIDGe

With love, from your dogsThis is a hard letter for us to write.

Its really hard because laptop keyboards arent designed for a dogs paws espe-cially big dogs. We wanted to tell Linda and Danny Yanusz how very special you two are. Although you never heard us call you Mom and Dad you are. We tried to tell you how much we love you, but it always came out, Bark, bark, woof. So instead, we just tried to show you how much you meant to us. We are a family and we learned all about unconditional love because that is what you gave us every day. We always felt loved, and safe, and happy. We both hope you felt the love we had for you, too. All those hikes and family outings were special to us. We are so blessed with all of the fond memories.

Right now, we are healthy and well. We have lots of friends to play with. Theres fresh air, green grass, tall moun-tains for hiking, and warm meadows for

resting. There is plenty to eat and we are well cared for by a nice old man who says He created us all so we could be a family. He told us to have fun for now, and wait for you both. He said there are still things He has planned for you, but well be together again and when we are it will be forever. We like thinking about that. We are never far apart because you are always near our hearts.

Just so you know, theres a Rainbow Bridge nearby. Well meet you there.

All our love, Kasey and Kaiser Former canine residents of OAK RIDGe

Editors Note: The above letter was written by a friend of Oak Ridge residents Danny and Linda Yanusz, on behalf of their beloved Greater Swiss Mountain dogs, Kasey and Kaiser, who were often seen at community events, in the town park, in pa-rades, and on the trails of N.C. Kaiser died on April 11 and Kasey died on Sept. 5.
