Michelle Bardsley for stepping up to represent all residents in North Carolina’s 57th House district. We appreciate how you have reached out to meet so many! Northwest Vikings girls’ volleyball team who beat undefeated Grimsley. Our girls knocked them back so hard, the Grimsley head coach “forgot” to shake hands with the team after the match. Keep it up, Vikings! Duke Energy employees and contractors, tree crews, and first responders who helped clear roads, repair downed power lines and assisted those with emergencies during last week’s storm. Summerfield Fire Department for carrying on with the Stop, Drop and Roll 5K fundraiser last Saturday. This is such a great and well-organized family and community event (our compliments to the chili chefs, also)!
Adults who share videos of our children fighting at school on social media. You’re not providing a good example for responsible social media use. You’re only glorifying the bullies and humiliating their victims. Guilford County Schools for their efforts to keep our children safe from the drizzle on Friday. Because of their forward thinking, my darling precious did not have to suffer the

danger of getting... slightly damp. Ignorant leftists who wrongly assume they know what flags flying at a private home means. Freedomloving Americans fly all manner of flags for a multitude of reasons. Your liberal bias only shows that you’re triggered by liberty and free speech.

Bad drivers. When the traffic lights are out, you are supposed to treat the intersection like a four-way stop. Please learn how to drive before you kill someone. The employee of a local fast-food restaurant who was in the parking lot, dressed in uniform, and finishing a beer while walking into work. This speaks volumes as to the people being hired to work in our local restaurants. People who leave valuables in their vehicles in plain view. Please, people, heed the advice of law enforcement and that of those who have been victims of break-ins, and put your valuables out of plain view. The person complaining about the flags. Mind your own business – there’s enough division in this country because of your president, but that will be fixed soon enough. Local restaurant employees who are serving burnt food (black bacon is not edible to me) and are rude at the drivethrough windows. Not acceptable! The guy running on Brookbank Road who expects cars to swerve into oncoming traffic so he has room to run on pavement. Sharing the road works both ways – don’t impede traffic flow. Please run in the grass when cars are passing you. Speeders. Daddy always told me I had a “lead foot,” and I do, but zooming around me at 60 mph in a no-passing zone because I’m going a mere 10 mph over the speed limit of 35 mph? Really?

This is what life is supposed to feel like. When you aren’t held back. When you have a health partner that doesn’t just treat part of you – they care for all of you. That’s why more people prefer Atrium Health, with the most complete care that lets you get back to the moments that matter. That’s what it’s like to live fully.

The following are some of the comments recently posted on Nextdoor.com and on Northwest Observer’s Facebook page that we felt were worthy of sharing… Posted Friday, Sept. 30, on Nextdoor.com Subject: U.S. 220/Strawberry Road intersection “A friend of ours was parked at the red light on the intersection of Strawberry Road and 220 and while she was stopped, a red car (we think red by the debris left in the road; couldn’t get the make of the vehicle (because) it happened so fast) turned from 220 onto Strawberry Road, smashed into her and sped off. If anybody has information, please let us know. It happened around 10:30 pm last night.” “So sorry to hear this. I have started treating this intersection in particular like I would a stop sign. Twice I have started to pull out onto 220 after the light for me turned green. Both times a car headed south on 220 went sailing through that intersection on a very red light. Although this situation sounds a bit different, speed seems to always be the common factor. I have seen this too many times now at other intersections.” Posted Saturday, Oct. 1, on Nextdoor.com Subject: 4-way stop “It’s never more apparent that Receive a people don’t know the rules of the Personalized road than after a power outage. Video From the Doctor Remember, when the lights are out at an intersection, you have to stop and look in all directions. Rules of the road. Right of way. Very important things to remember or to teach your new teenage drivers.” “I was on Pleasant Ridge Road at Fleming Road intersection. Lights were out. I saw it as a 3-way stop. I stopped. Waiting for my “turn” to proceed. Oncoming traffic flying through at 50 mph. Person behind me honked twice. I was stopped only 10 seconds. What happened to civility and common sense. Should we all be angry all the time?” “Good morning! Just a reminder that when street lights are out, intersections are treated like a four-way stop. On my short jaunt to Harris Teeter this morning I was involved with a very close call because someone decided not to stop and I saw 2 more near accidents. On my way back from Harris Teeter I saw 2 more near misses.” Sept. 30 and Oct. 1 on Facebook.com/ NorthwestObserver Subject: power outages “Belews Lake Stokesdale, we have power. Rain gauge has 6 inches in it and is full. Not venturing out at this time.” “We have power off 65. There was a huge tree down on 158 last night around 10pm. FD cut up the tree to get traffic moving again.” “Yep no power in a lot of places in Summerfield.” “Westridge Heights no power since 7pm. Fortunately Chick-fil-A on Battle7pm. Fortunately Chick-fil-A on Battleground has power and coffee! Generator is running the sump pump to avoid flooding in the basement.” “We have been out on our road (Patricia Drive in Stokesdale) since about 9 Friday night and Duke Energy saying around 11:45 Sunday night.” “Linville Rd area power went out about 9pm last night. Haven’t ventured out yet to see what’s down but just branches here. Duke power outage map is always a go-to for us to
