hopes to make the rowing team at Stanford. In his sports as well as other areas of his life, he enjoys diving into the physics of it all, and learning about how exercise and nutrition impact the body.

Additionally, he’s volunteered with Special Olympic golfers and with N.C. Search & Rescue, where he has helped do search and rescue and study the statistics behind it.

For his college essay, Jack wrote about how when he was young, his dream job was to be an astronaut.

“But they don’t recruit you if you’re over 6 feet 3 inches,” he said. “Now I can feel I am discovering amazing things about our universe without going into space.”

Jack expressed his gratitude to two of his counselors at Northern, Ms. Knight and Ms. Deaton. figurines she’s made on Etsy, with profits going to World Wildlife Fund.

“They have gone above and beyond to help me. I don’t think I could have juggled everything without them,” he said.

In his valedictorian speech, he spoke about the value of failure and offered several examples of personal “failures” he had experienced.

“Those failures didn’t just test my persistence, they’ve also strengthened my passions and formed my identity, giving my endeavors meaning and purpose… As you continue to grow beyond the scope of high school, remember to seek out failure, and I know that you will find success,” he told his classmates.

Noor’s salutatorian speech focused on being authentic.

“… Being yourself surpasses the garments we wear or the trends social media pressures us to follow; it rests in the way we acknowledge those that shaped us and our adherence to our own values and beliefs,” she said.

Of the many who have helped shape her, she included Mr. Galiotti, with whom she worked closely on the School Improvement Team; Leslie Deaton, a Northern guidance counselor who she said “continuously exemplifies what it means to be a strong woman;” and Mr. Bah, who she said “genuinely supported me from when I first stepped into his class as a lost 14-year-old to now, when he allows me to work alongside him.”

As the child of immigrant parents from Northern Africa, Noor credited her parents for giving up everything they had to give her everything she has. She closed with a quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson: “To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to change you is the biggest accomplishment.”

Noor will head to Wake Forest University this August and study environmental science. As a leadership and character scholar, her tuition, room and board, and other college-related expenses will be paid, and she’ll be embedded in a leadership and character program throughout her four years of college.

That drew criticism that taxpayers weren’t given the chance to express their views publicly about the higher-than-expected costs before the council’s vote.

“A 30% or more increase is a material change in any project,” Smith told the council at its June 1 meeting. “And proper representation requires that those paying for the project be given the opportunity” to express their opinions.

Council members praised the Finance Committee and town staff for their work on the budget, described by McClellan as “extremely responsible.”

Even though he opposed increasing the stipend pay increase for council members, Kinneman said “the rest of the budget is a fabulous budget. We are accomplishing great things.”

Acknowledging the budget is “ambitious,” Pittman said, “Taken as a whole, does it provide what Oak Ridge residents want and need now and provide for future needs in a fiscally responsible way? I believe that it does.”

Schneider described the budget as “the definition of good governance,” with “deep and well informed” support from taxpayers. “Our work in Oak Ridge is thoughtful and it’s conservative in its principles,” she said.

Jacob Binder, a rising junior at Northwest Guilford High School, said he hopes higher costs associated with capital projects decrease in future years. “We cannot allow the size of this year’s budget to become the new normal,” he said.

Text amendment

 4  0 to amend the town’s code of ordinances to reduce the number of extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ) members on the Planning and Zoning (P&Z) Board from two to one.

Earlier, the P&Z board voted unanimously to recommend the council approve the amendment, which is based on a population decrease in the ETJ due to voluntary annexations from the outlying area into the town limits.

MANAGER’S REPORT Board reappointment

 4  0 to reappoint Caroline Ruch to the Historic Preservation Commission. Heritage Farm Park update. June 1 marked the date for Bar Construction Co. to start construction of Heritage Farm Park, Bruce said.

“No trespassing” signs are posted at the entrance of the gravel driveway on Scoggins Road leading to what had been a temporary parking area for walkers on the property, and are also posted at various places off limits to people during the projected 15 months of construction.

People can park in the Town Hall parking lot to reach the trail around the property, Bruce said.

N.C. 68/150 improvements. Duke Energy contractors are relocating utilities at intersections on N.C. 68 and 150, signaling the start of state plans to improve traffic flow and safety in Oak Ridge’s commercial district, according to Bruce.

The North Carolina Department of Transportation plans to start road improvements early next year, he said. Deputy clerk kudos. Bruce congratulated deputy town clerk Ashley Royal for receiving certified municipal clerk status from the International Institute of Municipal Clerks.

Financial Update

 4  0 to approve the hiring of FORVIS, an accounting firm, to provide audit services to Oak Ridge in the fiscal year that ends June 30. The firm is charging $23,040 for its services, plus $6,000 for writing the financial statements.

Community Update

Historical Preservation Commission. Commission member Barbara Engel reported that Chair Debbie Shoenfeld and Vice Chair Caroline Ruch are proofreading a book the commission plans to publish about historical properties in Oak Ridge. Mountains-to-Sea Trail Committee. Pittman reported the committee will hold a workday on Wednesday, June 21. More details can be found on the MST Committee’s Facebook page.

Special Events Committee. Chair Patti Dmuchowski reported the committee raised $14,250 in donations in May for Veterans Honor Green. That brings total contributions to $211,209.24 – including future matching funds from the town –for the veterans’ site planned for Heritage Farm Park. The recently revised fundraising goal is $250,000.

Tree Committee. Committee member John Browning said the board has reviewed the master landscaping plan for the entrance to Town Park and recommends that native trees be planted as part of the area’s landscaping. Parks and Recreation Advisory Board. Co-Chair John Garrett reported the first sponsored concert in the Music in the Park series in Town Park on May 13 drew about 1,000 people. The unexpectedly big crowd caused parking problems that Garrett said the committee plans to resolve.

For the first time this year, four of the six monthly concerts through Oct. 14 have sponsors that help pay for more widely known bands. The sponsored concerts also offer beer and wine for sale and numerous food trucks. Water Advisory Committee. Chair Jim Harton said planning for construction of the elevated water storage tank is advancing.

Oak Ridge is still awaiting the finalization of an agreement with Winston-Salem/ Forsyth County Utilities to supply water to the town, he said. Once that’s nailed down, the town will seek permitting by state regulators, a process that may take several weeks or longer.

Once those two steps have been completed, the town will seek bids from contractors. Harton predicted that construction of the tank will take about a year.

The town plans to fill the tank initially with well water from Heritage Farm Park. Several years down the road, a line would carry water from Kernersville along N.C. 150 to supply the tank.

Public Comments

Scholarship winner. Oak Ridge Fire Department announced that Northwest Guilford High School graduating senior Logan Bryant was awarded a $2,500 Strength and Honor scholarship from a fund established and endowed by the family and friends of Lance Cpl. Andrew David Russoli.

The fund honors the memory of Russoli, a U.S. Marine who died in combat in Iraq. He had hoped to join Oak Ridge Fire Department after ending his military service.

Logan will attend Appalachian State University, where she plans to study health care management, according to Sam Anders, Oak Ridge assistant fire chief.

„ Pittman congratulated students graduating from high school and college, as well as students moving from grade to grade and to new schools.

„ Schneider urged residents to visit council members participating in dropin hours at Town Hall from 8:30-10 a.m. next Thursday, June 22.
