„ Phil, owner of Best 4K9 in Oak Ridge (and Greensboro and Winston-Salem), for going above and beyond in making a massive donation of dog food and pet supplies to the tornado victims in Mississippi. We all need to support this local business!

„ Summerfield Elementary School media coordinator Karen E. Harris for her 30-plus years of service in Guilford County Schools. Sad to hear you are retiring – you have been a godsend to the students and parents of the school, and you will be missed! have. Another crooked politician in Raleigh!

„ Derrick Moody and Larry Kirby at Summerfield First Baptist Church for being extremely helpful in setting up and sharing the Christian Life Center for the Camp REACH Spring Fling. Thank you for being a wonderful and inclusive community partner!

„ Michael Logan for your 26-year dedication as a GCS teacher with an impeccable record and for your brave perseverance through pernicious lies and hostile persecution.

„ Summit Church for leaving the spherical Christmas lights year-round in the majestic tree on Highway 68. Lit or not, they are a daily reminder of the hope for another Christmas season to come.

„ The professional, proficient and patient people at Mailboxes & More in Oak Ridge. They were exemplary in helping a perfectionist with an item that had to be 100% correct.

„ Dr. Steven Best and staff of Northwest Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery in Summerfield, for being so caring and passionate.

„ Oak Ridge Town Council for using our tax dollars on the Redmon house restoration and expansion! I think our tax dollars could be put to better use, like adding sidewalks to connect the Old Mill to the town center.

„ The two guys who were flying a drone directly above children playing on the playground at Stokesdale’s town park on April 6 at 1:30 p.m. That is not appropriate! Please stop.

„ The StoneHenge resident who allows his/her chicken (against HOA regulations) to come peck on my door every morning while I’m making breakfast. The worst part is, when I try to catch the chicken, it runs off in ding-dong-ditch fashion.

„ Those who speak and write nonchalantly about killing animals. If only God had created them with the wisdom to steer clear of humans’ gardens, instead of the desire to eat everything...

„ N.C. Sen. Phil Berger. Why are you involved in Summerfield’s development issues with David Couch – have you been bought? Seems to me you

„ Bojangles and McDonald’s in Oak Ridge. I have given them chance after chance after chance. Horrible service, order almost always incorrect, and food is below par. Grade F.

„ Those who dump their unwanted junk behind local businesses. My delivery receiving area is not a landfill. Take your crap to the dump or put it out by your curb like every other decent human being does.

„ Bill Goebel, who colluded with the school board chair and attorney to be installed on the GCS Board of Education; a malignant maneuver thwarting the will of the people and maliciously robbing a 26-year teacher from a position legally earned.

„ Oak Ridge Town Council, for having no plans for how the historic Redmon house will be sustainable and not listening to citizens before voting. How about learning from instead of repeating history? Built before Depression and we are in a recession.

„ Subway Summerfield. Poor business practice. Would not redeem a coupon that was sent as a flyer in the mail, even after the employee called the owner. The only exclusion printed on the coupon was that it was not good in Alaska or Hawaii.

„ Duke Energy for making it impossible to access Belews Lake without owning a $12,000 boat. Public lake?

Outside the …

Yeah, right. Not all of us can afford such “luxuries.”

„ Overseers of Oak Ridge Town Park. What are the ride-on animals at the park? My children would like to recognize them, but I am not able to discern them. Please paint them clearly.

„ The ridiculous amount of development that is eating up Stokesdale.

„ Those who put derogatory and disgusting political signs or flags in their yard. Doesn’t matter who you’re for or against, there’s no need for hateful ads.

„ Those who allow their cats outside, roaming into their neighbors’ yards, hunting/killing birds and mammals, especially the vulnerable young ones leaving nests who are on the ground, unable to defend themselves. Allowing cats outdoors is irresponsible and cruel!

The following reader-submitted GRIPES express opinions about state and/or national topics, and have been separated from the other Grins and Gripes as a courtesy to those who do not want to read others’ opinions on state and/or national political and other non-local topics in a local newspaper.

GRIPES to...

„ Rep. Tricia Cotham. She should resign and run in a special election where she actually tells voters who she is instead of changing parties and giving the “R” tribe a supermajority, which will be detrimental for at least half our citizens.

„ Those who want to blame everything they don’t like on conservative values. It’s this year’s dog whistle, just like Elon Musk’s dealings were last year’s. Do your own research and shut off CNN and MSNBC.

...continued from p. 1 other legal costs, in the fiscal year starting July 1, according to finance officer Dee Hall. Last month, the council amended the current year’s budget by $100,000 to cover all legal and lobbying costs through June 30.

“The proposed $150,000 for (next fiscal year’s) legal fees is higher than we would normally budget if we didn’t have de-annexation issues,” Hall said in an email earlier this week. “If we see that isn’t going to be enough to cover lobbyists and attorneys for de-annexation along with our normal legal fees, then we will make a budget amendment to increase the amount.”

Hall added that next year’s budget would probably appropriate $100,000 instead of $150,000 for legal fees if it weren’t for the de-annexation battle.

The council voted unanimously last week to hire attorney Michael Thelen with Womble Bond Dickinson in Raleigh, at an hourly rate of $580, to represent Summerfield in its negotiations with Couch. The developer’s legal and lobbying team is seeking to win the support of state Senate President Pro Tem Phil Berger and other state lawmakers to de-annex Couch’s 973 acres in Summerfield.

Earlier, the council hired two lobbying firms – KTS Strategies and Ward and Smith – at a monthly rate of $7,500 each, or $15,000 total. They’re going up against Couch’s lobbyists who are trying to persuade legislators to approve de-annexation of his Summerfield property.

So far, no de-annexation legislation has been fi led. At the urging of Berger, who represents Summerfield in the Senate’s District 26, the town and Couch are negotiating to try to resolve their development standoff.

Twice in the past year, the council has denied Couch’s request to amend the town’s development rules to create a new zoning district. That would be the first of three development steps that would allow construction of Summerfield’s first apartments.

Instead of waiting for another year – or until February 2024 – to seek a new text amendment to the town’s unified development ordinance, Couch has opted to pursue de-annexation of his property. If the legislature were to approve de-annexation, Couch’s property would fall under the jurisdiction of Guilford County, which allows construction of apartments in some zoning districts.

During their meeting last month, council members discussed, but didn’t agree on, an approach for limiting telephone calls to Thelen, their newly hired attorney.

“I’m very happy hiring him,” council member Reece Walker said. “I just want to be responsible. We could spend a small fortune at $580 an hour.”

Mayor Pro Tem Lynne Williams DeVaney said she’d prefer that de-annexation communications funnel through Thelen.

DeVaney said. “I think we need to listen to his guidance. He holds the narrative.”

DeVaney and councilman Jeff Davis said they’d be comfortable with Mayor Tim Sessoms continuing to coordinate de-annexation communications among council members.

To avoid asking Thelen the same question more than once, Walker asked whether council members would be willing to check with Sessoms before individually contacting the lawyer.

Council member Janelle Robinson objected to the idea.

“I want to have direct access to the attorney,” she said. “If I have a question, I want to be able to ask him.”
