Summerfield resident Scot Sanborn plans to make and market local spirits from his distillery in Winston-Salem.

“I’m going to make something that represents the state well,” Sanborn said.

“I’m going to take pride in what I’m doing.”

He paused, then continued, “And I’m going to have fun doing it.”

Sanborn, 41, is a resident of Summerfield. The business he recently opened in West End Mill Works – a collection of eclectic shops and bars built out of a former grain mill not far from downtown Winston-Salem – is Sutler’s Spirit Co.

Bar patron assaulted and robbed, suspects at large STOKESDALE – The Major Crimes division of the Guilford County Sheriff’s Office is investigating another incident at the Double K Sports Bar off Belews Creek Road in Stokesdale.

Just before 2 a.m. on Friday, June 27, the Guilford County Sheriff’s Office received a call about a robbery and assault at the Stokesdale bar.

8004 Linville Rd, Suite E-3 Oak Ridge

James Boyd Hunter of Madison reported two unknown suspects assaulted him in the parking lot, punching him several times and stabbing him in the hand with a knife.

The attack occurred next to Hunter’s vehicle, during which time one suspect allegedly reached into the back seat and removed a .30-caliber rifle before fleeing the scene.

tempting to leave the bar for the night or if he was just standing outside when the attack occurred.

Det. Lowes of the sheriff’s department confirmed Hunter was “fairly intoxicated” and declined medical transportation; however, he was treated at the scene for the stab wound to his hand.

After EMS examined his injuries, Hunter left the scene in a taxi.

Double K owner Keith Knight says he didn’t know the victim or much about the incident, as “it occurred after-hours, sometime between 3 and 5 a.m.,” adding there’s no surveillance system on the building’s exterior.

The incident is under investigation; if you have any information pertaining to it, please call Crime Stoppers at 3731000 or text the keyword “BADBOYZ” and your tip to 274637.

N.C. 68 construction underway

East Harrell Road will be relocated, West Harrell Road to close permanently OAK RIDGE — N.C. Department of Transportation crews began a road widening project on June 30 to increase safety by increasing roadway capacity in a narrow section of N.C. 68 between East Harrell Road and Bartonshire Drive.

The new road design will relocate East Harrell Road to the south and permanently close the intersection of N.C. 68 and West Harrell Road just north of N.C. 150 in Oak Ridge.

Committee recommends investing $4 million SUMMERFIELD – If revenue and expenses are as anticipated in the new fiscal year which began on July 1, the Town of Summerfield will reduce its reserves by about $423,357 in order to achieve a balanced budget – which will still leave about $7.58 million in the undesignated fund balance.

Until last week, the town had $2.5 million invested in CDARS, which paid interest of .3 percent. In anticipation of the CDARS maturing, Finance Officer Katrina Whitt checked with nine banks to get information on interest rates for CDs invested for one to five years, and Treasury rates for 1 to 10 years.

After presenting the investment options at the town’s finance committee on June 16, the committee engaged in extensive discussion before voting to recommend the town council invest a total of $4 million of reserves in CDARS at the Bank of North Carolina; of this, $3 million will be invested for three years at 1.25 percent and $1 million for one year at .55 percent.

The number of North Carolinians driving more than 50 miles from home over this holiday will be about 1,015,000 – up from 988,000 last year – the highest ever based on surveys since 2001.

North Carolina’s gas prices per gallon are 16 cents higher than last year, due in part to the unrest in Iraq, which is driving up prices at a time when they would typically be declining with refineries ramping up supply for summer driving.

and traffic experts are worried about an increase in drunken drivers.

“Don’t turn a good time into a tragedy,” said Parsons. “Don’t drink and drive and be especially vigilant behind the wheel. You may be sober. The other driver may not be.”

The North Carolina State Highway Patrol began its “Booze It & Lose It: Operation Firecracker” campaign targeting drunk drivers last Friday and will continue it through Sunday, July 6.

For updated info on primary and secondary road construction, visit www.ncdot. gov/travel or call 511 within the state.

North Carolina’s current average gasoline price per gallon is $3.55. The highest average price per gallon is in Durham, at $3.62; the average price per gallon in Greensboro is $3.51.

Traveling south, motorists will find the cheapest gas in the nation, averaging $3.389 in South Carolina; $3.589 in Georgia, and $3.617 in Florida. Going north, Virginia’s average is $3.481 and traveling west, Tennessee’s average price is $3.462; Kentucky is the highest-priced neighbor, with an average price of $3.726.

The five-day Independence Day holiday travel period is defined as Wednesday, July 2, through Sunday, July 6 as part of the survey data taken from AAA’s Leisure Travel Index, AAA/HIS Global Insight holiday travel forecast and AAA Carolinas data. Records go back to 2001.

I’m appalled that anyone could stoop so low as to steal items during a funeral. What’s behind these signs?

Out of everything stolen from Annette’s car, only one credit card was used at a gas station in Rural Hall. No other credit charges have turned up and the cell phones have not been turned on.

With the trail gone cold, Annette decided to put out signs to see if someone would return the irreplaceable items that mean so much to her and her family.

She made about a dozen signs and put them up on a path leading from the church to the service station in Rural Hall. So far, she’s had no response.

“I don’t have high expectations, but I wanted to put it out there,” says Annette. “I’m hoping someone has a shred of decency left and that we might get the pictures back.”

She also wants to make others aware of the incident.

“I would never have imagined this

On March 5, the funeral of Oak Ridge resident Clarence Walker was held at Union Grove Church on N.C. 150, just outside the town limits of Oak Ridge. While family and friends were saying their final good-byes, a thief stole items from Annette Walker’s car.

“There were photos that we used for the funeral. My daughter, who was so close to her grandfather, had photos

happening in this area,” she says. “My car was parked at the front of the church. We were all either in the church or in the fellowship hall. People need to beware. It’s a heart-wrenching and disgusting thing.”

If you have information that could lead to the recovery of these items, Annette requests that you give her a call at (336) 473-5341.

Layne Weaver RN, FNP A Greensboro native, Layne began her nursing career with Cone Health in 1996, caring for patients in medical intensive care, neuro-surgical intensive care and emergency.

She believes health is strongly influenced by lifestyle: food choices, exercise, sleep, stressors and relationships. Her goal is to create a partnership that leads patients to be their best.

Annette, Mr. Walker’s daughter-in-law, says someone broke into her locked car and stole her purse, her mother-in-law’s purse and her 12-year-old daughter’s cell phone sometime during the service. The parking lot was full and there were cars parked along the road, many of them unlocked with valuables inside. However, no other vehicles were touched.

While cash, credit cards and electronic devices were taken, these are not the items that Annette is most concerned about.

Working hard for the colony Stokesdale resident Mark Morphies enjoys challenge, lessons of beekeeping Your pet’s well-being is our primary concern.

by ANNETTE JOYCE

Celebrating 22 years serving northwest Guilford County

It’s amazing to watch Mark Morphies, 49, as he pulls frames of busy honeybees from one of seven beehives on his Stokesdale farm. Hundreds of bees are actively pursuing their daily chores as Morphies – who’s dressed in jeans and a short-sleeved T-shirt and wearing no protective gear whatsoever – searches for the queen bee.

“I enjoy the challenge of something that many people aren’t brave enough to do,” he says.

He also likes educating people about honeybees and how a colony operates.

A man of strong faith, he often uses this

Morphies warns that going without protective gear is not always the best policy. Not only is he not allergic to the bees, but during the spring and summer months the bees are so involved in what they’re doing that he says they pay little attention to him.

In the fall, he’s a bit more cautious.

That’s when the bees are more aggressive and attack in order to protect their honey.

Peace of mind

is knowing your dog is loved and cared for

One of an estimated 15,000 beekeepers in North Carolina, Morphies became interested in beekeeping about five years ago when his wife Lisa signed them up for a beekeeping class.

The couple and their three sons have always had what they call a “homestead mentality,” and beekeeping fits in with that lifestyle.

“We’re not totally self-sufficient but we like the idea of living off the land and keeping things simple,” Morphies says.

People keep honeybees for various reasons, Morphies explains. Some do it to make a profit – either by selling the honey, the bee colonies or just the queen bees. Others do it simply because they enjoy it. Operating size depends upon a person’s goals. At one time Morphies had as many as 23 hives, but he sold most of those a couple of years back.

Morphies makes it clear that beekeeping is not a money-making venture for him, rather more of a hobby.

knowledge to show church groups “how the survival of the honeybee coordinates closely with the way the Bible teaches that the body of Christ should operate.”

Once Morphies starts talking about bees, his enthusiasm makes it difficult for a listener to stop him – even if they wanted to.

He begins by explaining the bee’s purpose and the different types of bees.

“The bee’s entire focus is on producing the next generation,” says Morphies.

“The bees are doing nothing for themselves individually. They’re working hard for the whole group.”

Every hive has a queen. The largest of all the bees, she’s the one that lays the eggs and determines the sex of the other two types – the female worker bees and the male drones.

During the spring and summer months, Mark Morphies is able to work with his bees without protective clothing.

bees and queen have an extended sixmonth lifespan and survive by existing in a tight ball inside the hive.

“The temperature at the center of the cluster is 93 degrees, even on the coldest winter day,” says Morphies. “The bees constantly move from the outside to the inside of the ball to stay warm.

They’ll eat the honey that’s been left in the hive. On warmer days the bees fly out to defecate. They never do that inside the hive.”

Frames in a honeybee hive are covered with busy bees working to keep the colony thriving.

During the spring and summer seasons, the mature worker bees frantically gather nectar and pollen and store them in tiny compartments in the hive.

Besides eating the food provided by the worker bees and breeding with the queen, the drones have no other function. Opportunity to fulfill this purpose is limited, since the queen is bred for life during the mating flight.

Once the drone breeds, it dies.

Larvae emerge from the eggs within four days. Younger worker bees feed the growing larvae what Morphies refers to as “bee bread.” This is a mixture of

nectar and pollen that the worker bees mix together and, using their legs, feed to the tiny creatures.

Eventually, the larvae are covered with a paper-like substance and on the 21st day an adult bee chews its way out.

Worker bees live about six to seven weeks. Laying 1,500 to 2,000 eggs a day, the queen has an average lifespan of two to three years.

As winter approaches, the worker bees kick out the drones and their carcasses are scattered around the ground near the hive. The remaining worker

While not all beekeepers keep records of their hives, Morphies is extremely methodical. He has two thick manila folders filled with pages of notes on the daily activities of his hives.

His ledgers include information on the weather, the bees’ activity level and the date the queen emerged. He notes if the bees are aggressive and how much honey is being produced.

Unfortunately, the numbers of honeybees have been dwindling over the years. Along with pesticides, the biggest threat to the honeybee population is the varroa mite, a tiny external parasite that sucks the blood from the bee and shortens its life span. These pesky creatures can wipe out an entire colony.

While there are a variety of chemical remedies available to take care of the mites, Morphies is adamant about doing everything naturally.

“I decided to challenge myself and not use any kind of chemical treatments,” he says. “It’s about the willingness to let the strong survive. I’ll let a hive die before I’ll treat it with a foreign chemical.”

At the moment, the bees in his hives are healthy and happy doing what they do best – making sure the next generation is strong.

And, of course, they’re busy making honey.

Messy Olympics are not for weak of stomach Music in the Park For the 10th (or more) consecutive year, First Baptist Church of Summerfield held its very popular “Messy Olympics.” That’s right, think “human hot dog,” complete with ketchup, mustard and mayonnaise, human pancakes (with syrup, of course), and a “squeeze the grape juice out of the sponge” relay.

In this relay, (above left, L to R) Kimberly Millsaps, Michelle James and Savannah Albright wring grape juice out of a sponge

in an effort to fill a bucket – needless to say, it took several sponges to squeeze out enough juice to fill the bucket to the line!

(Above) The Summerfield Fire Department was kind enough to bring their trucks and hoses and give the kids a hosing down before they went home.

Classic Car Cruise-In Summer Hit

Mon-Sat 9am-8pm Sunday Noon-6pm products

Wash away the grime and bring back the shine!

If you’re into classic cars and an oldfashioned good time, you’ll love Classic Car Cruise-In, held the third Tuesday of each month (May thru October) at Oak Ridge Commons shopping center; the cars start rolling in at 5:30 p.m. and are on display until about 8 p.m.

“The cruise-in is almost like a small street festival atmosphere,” says Oak Ridge resident Mike Stone, who was the force behind creating the event.

“With the driving lane blocked off and a bunch of really cool cars lined up, you see families strolling along, taking pictures, and talking to the owners. There are always the stories that start with ‘Well my first car was a ....’ and almost always end with ‘I wish I had that car today.’”

“Lots of folks sit out at the tables to enjoy dinner and watch the activities,” says Stone. “It’s a great way to meet people and have a good time all at once. Life has become so fast-paced that we’re often too focused on getting from point A to point B to take the time to meet and talk to each other.

This is the sort of event that creates a sense of community between people.”

This year marks the event’s third anniversary. While Stone was the instigator, he credits Bistro 150 owner Randy Floss for making sure the event goes off without a hitch.

Floss says the event is also combined with one or two fundraisers each year to raise money for local non-profit organizations.

GRINS to...  The Town of Summerfield for the great Music in the Park event on June 28.

Part-Time Party-Time Band was awe-

some, and our beautiful community park was a perfect venue for the event.  Oak Ridge Mayor Ray Combs for standing up for “those kind of people,” which include myself, who cannot begin to afford the McMansions they have been building in our area for years now. Affordable housing is needed!  All the volunteers at Summerfield First Baptist Church for making VBS a success. We could not do it without you!  The wonderful lady who paid for our coffee last Sunday at the Starbucks drivethrough on Battleground Avenue. My son and I were very touched by your kindness!  Parents who insist that teens get a job and work over the summer, instead of writing checks to them while they lie around eating, staying up all night and

 Volunteer members of the U.S. 158 Committee in Stokesdale for doing thorough research, excellent communication with DOT, keeping our community in the loop, and for taking proactive measures on this bypass that we agree is not wanted or needed!  Spoil-Me-Rotten for always taking pride in making sure our animals and house are taken care of – you go above and beyond every time! Thanks for the dependable service; we are truly appreciative.  Helen Ledford, for her article about aprons in last week’s issue. Brought back wonderful memories of my grandmother in her red-and-white checked apron making homemade pies and rolling out noodles for chicken and noodles (I still have the apron!).  The mayor of Oak Ridge. Your speech to the real estate community was well-timed and needed. As a side

note, Mayor, if you would decrease taxes, that would help those already located in Oak Ridge.

GRIPES to...  Energy United and Asplundh companies for leaving the unsightly mess along the right-of-way of Simpson Road; also, ditto to the logging company that left the mess at the corner of Simpson and Gideon Grove roads.  Ritz Crackers’ parent company, Mondelez. Not only did the quantity decrease, but the price increased. What’s a Ritz addict to do? There is no equal.

I must kick the habit – or, an American company can buy it back.  People who praise the president for being a “good role model” advocating for equal pay. He pays the women who work at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue 18 percent less than the men, but claims that Republicans have a “war on women.”

DISTILLERY

as a commercial photographer.

Though they have no children, Sanborn and his wife, Dana, have a golden doodle (a cross between a golden retriever and standard poodle) named Moose, who is their constant companion.

...continued from p. 1 Sanborn takes his company’s name from the sutler, a private merchant who accompanied troops in the Civil War and other long-ago conflicts. A sutler was allowed to stay in camp to sell miscellaneous goods like food items and tobacco, and, if the commander approved, alcohol.

When asked about his career work, Sanborn usually just says it has been in advertising – and technically, it has.

But press him and he’ll admit he’s got 17 years of modeling work behind him.

It’s easy to see why. He’s a handsome guy.

Within a few months, Sanborn’s liquors – aged rum and gin, initially, bourbon and whiskey later – will be available at state ABC stores. And if N.C. House Bill 842, currently being considered in the legislative short session, is approved, Sanborn and other distillers will be able to sell bottles of liquor from shops where they’re produced.

“It started as something that was fun to do, and it’s been something I’ve enjoyed,” Sanborn said. It’s also been his “bread and butter.” (Check out the next advertising circular from Kohl’s and Sanborn’s picture might be found there).

“That would be a tremendous help,” Sanborn said.

But knowing that his modeling career would come to an end someday, Sanborn began exploring other options.

Sanborn is an interesting sort. A native of Florida, he graduated from The Citadel with an undergraduate degree in business administration and later earned a master’s degree in business administration. He competed in the decathlon in college before injuries halted his track career.

“I thought about what else I could do that would be a passion for me,” he said.

His interest in opening a distillery developed years ago, though he was initially intimidated by the amount of paperwork required. He’s since slogged through the paperwork and acquired both state and federal permits.

He is also a graduate of the photography school at Randolph County Community College and has worked

Sanborn started moving into and renovating his shop in West End Mill Works last fall. His first rum fermentation began May 17.

Throughout the learning process, he said he checked with other distillers – there are small operations in Chapel Hill, Asheville and Lenoir – to get their tricks of the trade. He also spent several weeks volunteering at Lenoir’s Carriage House Apple Brandy to learn all he could.

Sanborn’s own shop measures about 2,000 square feet and is spicand-span; it contains all the equipment and supplies needed to distill liquor, something last done in WinstonSalem by the Moravians.

The process starts with molasses, to which Sanborn adds water, heat and yeast.

“Then the yeast starts working its magic,” Sanborn said.

During the process, carbon dioxide and alcohol are created, with the end product draining through a still.

“It’s basically simple,” Sanborn said, but then admits an accomplished photographer can produce a work of art with the most basic of cameras.

“You can give someone a camera, but that doesn’t mean they’re going to create a great photograph.”

He said he’s been pleased with how

He is trying to source locally as many ingredients as possible, using local herbs and spices to create a true North Carolina flavor. Currently, he is working with a farmer in Madison who is growing barley, wheat and corn for a whiskey Sanborn is planning. All the grains are a “heritage strain” from North Carolina that have not been genetically modified.

Most major liquor producers are foreign-owned, Sanborn noted, then added, “We’ll probably make less in a year than they spill in a day.”
