Combs receives Order of the Long Leaf Pine OAK RIDGE – Recently-retired Oak Ridge councilman and former mayor Ray Combs has been presented with one of the highest honors the governor of North Carolina can bestow on a North Carolina citizen, the Order of the Long Leaf Pine. The award recognizes North Carolinians who have demonstrated exemplary service or made an exceptional contribution to the state or their communities. During the Dec. 3 Oak Ridge Town Council meeting, Mayor Spencer Sullivan read a resolution of appreciation for Photo by Gerri Hunt/NWO
Combs’ lifelong community service. Following the unanimous adoption of the resolution, Spencer presented the Long Leaf Pine award to Combs, which drew a standing ovation from those in attendance. Combs was first elected to the Town Council in 2001, and was elected mayor by fellow council members in 2003, an office he held until resigning as mayor in July 2015.
Granite, hardwoods and ceramic tile are standard $2,500 toward closing cost when using an approved lender
Combs has actively volunteered with the Oak Ridge Fire and Rescue Company’s board of directors, Oak Ridge Presbyterian Church, Oak Ridge Horse Show Committee, and the Airport Rotary Club.

I’m still seeing some political signs along Pleasant Ridge Road and Stanley Huff Road in Summerfield. Didn’t I read somewhere that they are supposed to be removed soon after the election? You are right – there is a timeframe in which to remove political signs.
“We’d like to let folks know that we don’t drive up and down the streets looking for signs. But if you see something, and give us a call or go on our website and report it, we go into action and take care of it,” said Reid. “But you always have to remember

Under the state statute, political signs in the public right-of-way can be posted 30 days before early voting for a primary election and are supposed to be removed within 10 days afterward.

Man dies in head-on collision OAK RIDGE – N.C. 68 was closed for several hours on Monday afternoon, Dec. 7, following a fatal accident. Shortly before 2 p.m., 32-year-old Anthony Daniel McMillian of Danbury was driving an SUV northbound on N.C. 68. Just past Meadows Road, he crossed the center line and was killed when he collided head-on with a south-
bound tractor-trailer. The truck driver, of Burlington, was not injured, said N.C. State Highway Patrol Trooper Chris Knox at the scene. The impact detached a tank from underneath the truck, spilling diesel fuel across the road and into a nearby creek, where DOT crews worked to absorb as much as they could.
GUILFORD COUNTY – Every Guilford County Board of Education seat will be up for grabs in the upcoming primary election on March 15, as a redrawing of district lines will take effect in November. In 2013, North Carolina Senate Bill 317 was passed, aligning the Board of Education districts with those of the Guilford County Board of Commissioners. The redistricting reduces the number of districts from nine to eight, and eliminates an at-large seat. In this election, the at-large seat and even numbered seats (Districts 2, 4, 6 and 8) will serve two-year terms, and the odd numbered seats (Districts 1, 3, 5 and 7) will serve for four years. When the two-year terms are up, those seats will revert to four-year terms, to stagger the elections. “The Senate bill also changed Guilford County Board of Education
elections from non-partisan to partisan races, meaning that for the first time, candidates will need to declare a political party to be in a primary,” said Nora Murray, who handles media relations for GCS. “Otherwise they will run unaffiliated in the general election.” New assignments for schools in northwest and northern Guilford County: • District 3: Northwest High, Northwest Middle, and Oak Ridge, Pearce and Stokesdale Elementary • District 4: Northern Elementary • District 5: Northern High, Kernodle and Northern Middle, and Summerfield Elementary • District 6: Colfax Elementary The new district assignments will take effect when the new board members are sworn into office after the November 2016 general election.

Kaleel Cathcart (No. 32, on left), helps Tucker Hord (No. 7) to his feet during the fourth round of the 3-AA NCHSAA Football Championships on Dec. 4. Northern lost to No. 3 Southern Durham 19-15.

HIGH SCHOOL SPORTS
Northern falls in playoffs by L.A. LOGAN Northern Guilford lost a close battle, 19-15, to Southern High School in the fourth round of the 3-AA NCHSAA Football Championships at Durham County Memorial Stadium on Dec. 4. “I’ve been fortunate enough to have so many teams that have played in the semi-finals,” said Northern head coach
Johnny Roscoe. “We competed, and that is the most important thing.” Trailing 7-0 early in the first quarter, Northern’s offense quickly moved the ball down the field; a 29-yard pass play from Miles Timmons to Tucker Hord set up a 25-yard touchdown strike from Timmons to Tristen Simmons. “It was supposed to be a Z route,”

said Simmons, “but it looked more like a go route because the safety came down.” On the ensuing extra-point conversion, Northern caught Southern napping and CJ Freeman sprinted to the left corner of the end zone for a two-point conversion, giving Northern an 8-7 lead. A few possessions later, Northern’s defense stopped Southern on a fourthdown; Timmons threw his second interception, however, which ultimately led to a Spartan touchdown. After a failed two-point try, Northern was down 13-7. “Interceptions happen,” said Roscoe. “We just had to overcome them.” With the team needing a lift, Freeman answered with a huge kickoff return, and a Southern penalty placed the ball on the 21-yard line. The very next play, Freeman literally carried multiple defenders on his back

across the goal line for a 21-yard touchdown. Ethan Reeder’s extra point made it a 15-13 contest right before halftime. As the second half wore on, Southern’s offense started going to an empty backfield set that led to the only score of the half. “It spread us out,” said Roscoe. “If you missed a tackle, no one person brought that running back down. We told them before that we had to team tackle.” With the score 19-15 in the third quarter, each team had their opportunities to score points. “I really thought it’d be more scoring in the second half,” said Roscoe. “Primarily because I thought we’d be able to move the ball.” Early in the fourth quarter, Max Maynard intercepted a Southern pass that

‘You will not know what an outstanding job you did, facing all that adversity and all of the injuries, until a month later,” said Roscoe. “What this team accomplished, no other team has accomplished. They’re going to be proud of that. It was the next person up. This team did that – and it worked. I give the credit to the assistant coaches. “The only goal we had was to practice on Thanksgiving (to prepare for playing on Black Friday). They made sure they did that and kept that record. Ever since we could make the playoffs, we’ve done that. That is an important record that we have here at Northern.” Freeman said he’s most proud of this team for how far they made it in the playoffs and for how they overcame adversity all season.

set Northern’s offense up on Southern’s 18-yard line; eight minutes later and with no timeouts remaining, Northern had to go for it on fourth-and-2. Unfortunately, Freeman, who rushed for 101 yards, was stopped just shy of the first-down marker. “We had that seam open,” said Roscoe. “If his foot would have been able to stay up, we would have picked up 10 or 12 yards.” With less than two minutes remaining in the game, Southern hoped to run out the clock, but Northern’s defense forced a three-and-out in 18 seconds. “They never gave up,” said Roscoe of his players. “They kept fighting.” Northern’s final possession ended with their third interception.

Zamaya Clayton sparked a huge third quarter for the Nighthawks as Northern Guilford (4-1, 0-1) handed Williams (4-1, 0-1) its first loss of the season, 60-41 on Dec. 3. “Zamaya was our game changer,” said head coach Kimberly Furlough. “When she came in the game in the third quarter, she went 6-6 from the field, had three assists and, defensively,
shut down Williams’ best player. Best of all, she brought heart and fire into our team.” At halftime, the score was 21 all before Northern pulled away, completing the night on a 19-9 run. Elissa Cunane recorded a doubledouble with 20 points and 13 rebounds, as did Kelly Lomax, who had 16 points and 10 rebounds.
NORTHERN GUILFORD MEN’S VARSITY BASKETBALL Andy Pack scored a game-high 26 points to lead Northern Guilford (4-1, 1-0) past Williams (1-4, 0-1) 71-54 on Dec. 3.
Jack Emerick was second in scoring with 20 points, Jarrett Boyd chipped in 10 points and 10 assists.
“We had a very good start and let up some to let them back in the game,” said interim head coach Derek Hodge. “Defensively, we finally got some stops collectively and were able to close out the game.”
“Andy and Jack are being put in position to score because of the team’s execution,” said Hodge. “The guys are working hard and unselfishly to make things work.”
The Nighthawks jumped out to a 30-19 lead by the end of the first quarter and closed out the game on a 18-6 run.

Rev. Carl Brown: 55 years and counting by GERRI HUNT STOKESDALE – Growing up in Stokes County, Carl Brown didn’t attend church until he was 17. He says he felt led to minister three years later, but it was three more years before he acted on it. “I was working at R.J. Reynolds Tobacco, and felt called into it by the Lord,” says Brown. “I was 23, a deacon in the church, and I led the singing. But I was not happy.” Heeding the call to preach, he attended Fruitland Bible Institute near Hendersonville. He and his wife Mary
– his “jewel” – came to Stokesdale after realizing there was no Baptist church there. Brown conducted his first service on Friday evening, Dec. 10, 1960, in a house on U.S. 158 he rented from Carrie Cook for $25 a month. With no money to cut on the lights, he and Mary ran a drop cord from the funeral home next door. Stokesdale Baptist Church was founded with 14 members. “Our ministry has been geared toward the unchurched, unreachable

and ‘unchurchable’,” says Brown. “I asked around at the stores to find out where people were, and sometimes we’d see them on the street.” As Brown looks back over his 55 years as a pastor, he estimates that over 700 people have been baptized at Stokesdale Baptist Church since the ‘60s. The church now has four ministers, and Brown is proud to have mentored other ministers as they started churches as far away Photo by Gerri Hunt/NWO as Kansas, Arizona and Wyoming. Carl Brown, along with his wife Mary, founded Stokesdale Baptist Church on Dec. 10, 1960. “We came here without anything and Stokesdale resident Betty Wilson was the Lord blessed us to purchase five the first person converted at the church, acres and we now have eight buildings,” in 1966. says Brown’s wife. “Carl’s brother Odell lived in Stokes“It’s a miracle of grace,” adds Brown. dale and invited us to the church.

Feb. 4 council meeting.
AG (Agriculture) to CU-RPD (Conditional Use-Rural Preservation District). Gregory and Mary Campbell and the heirs of Richard Parker Barrow requested that 29.3 acres on Bridgehead Road at Oak Ridge Road be rezoned for residential development. The developer, Bridgehead Established, LLC (registered agent, Anthony Donato), proposed a clustered single-family residential subdivision with 27 homes on lot sizes of no less than 20,000 square feet, with 50 percent of the property dedicated as open space. An RPD is designed to preserve rural character, significant man-made features and environmentally sensitive areas. The developer proposed five conditions for the property: buffers on the western and northern sides, private trails to become public when the town’s trail system is connected to Bridgehead; sidewalks in the public easement; and trail and sidewalk installation prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy. The council approved a sketch plan for the development in June, and Town Planning Director Bill Bruce recommended approving the rezoning request; the Planning and Zoning Board, however, voted 7-0 to recommend denying the rezoning request.
The Northwest Observer • Totally local since 1996
Planning and Zoning Board Chairman Ron Simpson said several neighbors who opposed the development had expressed concerns that they were not properly informed of the plans.
Proponents Mark Isaacson spoke as the attorney for the property owners and for Donato, the contract buyer. “It’s fair to say the property is at a point of transition, and something will happen to it at some point,” said Isaacson. “It will probably not stay agricultural for the foreseeable future.” Donato, a real estate attorney in Greensboro, said this would be his first venture into development, and he would do his best to make it very attractive and a good legacy for the Campbells and Barrows. Tom Hall, co-owner of Greensborobased Windsor Homes, said the development calls for 4-bedroom homes with 2- to 3-car garages. There’s a “proven demand” for homes in the mid$300,000 to low $400,000 price range, Hall pointed out, noting that his company has sold nine homes in the Harvest Ridge development in Oak Ridge (where home prices are advertised at between $320,000 and $390,000) since April. Jim Beeson, a soil scientist with Piedmont Environmental Associates, spoke about buffers hiding houses. Warren Miller, whose Oak Ridge Road property adjoins the site, said he and his wife “support the project and strongly believe it would enhance our community.” Steven Barrow of Colton Drive said he was born and raised on the land, and his father’s vision was to develop it. The Campbells said they tried to sell the property in 2009 and 2010, but were unsuccessful due to the state of the economy. “We want this property to go to a good home,” said Gregory Campbell.
Opponents Sherry Watson, whose family owns 85 acres at the end of Bridgehead
Road, said there is a 50-house limit on Bridgehead Road, and if 27 homes are built at this site, only 15 more homes will be allowed in the future. She also said the development has only 50 feet of road frontage and is in a dangerous 90-degree curve. She suggested an entrance to the development be added off Oak Ridge Road, through land the Campbells own. William Bolden of Bridgehead Road said he was worried about people on the trails near his father-in-law’s farm, the cost of repairing the road after construction vehicles tear it up, and the number of homes planned. Sam Anders of Oak Ridge Road said the proposal doesn’t preserve the rural character of Oak Ridge, and one small entrance to the development isn’t enough. Referring to the proposed Bridgehead neighborhood, Anders said, “It’s like trying to hide an elephant under a tablecloth.” Terry Matthews of Forsyth Road, who owns 120 acres, said his family “would hate to see this thing that looks like a town … drop right in the middle of us and the Watsons.”
Rebuttals Realtor DeDe Cunningham said the North Carolina Department of Transportation has stated Bridgehead has a low volume of traffic, and should be able to accommodate additional traffic from the proposed homes. Bolden pointed out that supporters of the project don’t live on Bridgehead Road, and Watson said that though people should be allowed to develop their own land, this development would restrict her family from doing so in the future. After the public hearing closed, council members discussed concerns over buffers, stub roads that don’t go to property owned by the developer, the single entrance to the proposed development, the gravel surface of the road, the 50-house limit on Bridgehead Road, and
if the development would be preserving the rural characteristics of the community.
5 0 to deny the rezoning request.
Happy Hill Road Rezoning AG (Agriculture) to CU-RPD (Conditional Use-Rural Preservation District). D. Stone Builders requested that 82.76 acres on Happy Hill Road just north of Warner Road be rezoned from AG to CU-RPD. The proposed development will have 76 single-family homes on lot sizes of at least 20,000 square feet, with 50 percent of the property dedicated as open space. The Planning and Zoning Board unanimously voted to recommend approval of the rezoning.
Proponents David Stone of D. Stone Builders said the development was pushed back from the road 200 feet, and an existing tree line will shield the homes from view. Neighboring property owners Cheryl Combs, Joe Sink and Jaycee Spruill each spoke in support of the development, and said it will be an improvement to their community. With no one speaking in opposition, the public hearing was closed. Councilman Jim Kinneman said he was pleased the builder “adopted the spirit of the RPD.” McClellan agreed, saying, “I think y’all have done everything right. You preserved open space and looked out for safety with two entrances.” Stone lauded the potential quality of the finished product, and the developer’s considerable efforts to meet with nearby property owners.
5 0 to approve the rezoning request.
CITIZEN COMMENTS Eric Strimple, a town council candidate who lost his bid for election, congratulated the candidates who won. He then suggested the council consider
forming a Public Safety Committee and hiring extra law enforcement. Kinneman said the town evaluates crime statistics about every two years, and an extra deputy wouldn’t stop some of the crimes that occur. “A large percentage of crimes could be prevented by locking your shed,” he noted. Oakley said the town “effectively has a sheriff’s substation,” as deputies park in Oak Ridge to do paperwork in their patrol cars. Stone told Strimple, “Anyone who runs for town council is a special kind of person,” and thanked him for his willingness to serve the town. Oakley said he would pull the results of the last crime statistics evaluation for council members to review.
FINANCIAL UPDATES Finance Officer Sam Anders said the town has $3.2 million in assets, and motor vehicle tax collection is going smoothly.

COUNCIL COMMENTS Council members wished everyone happy holidays, and thanked those who stayed until the end. Kinneman said former council members Roger Howerton and Jerry Cooke had been in attendance but had left. He said anyone, not just pastors, can give an invocation at the council meetings, then invited everyone to give blood on Dec. 14 at Oak Ridge UMC. Nodine thanked everyone who voted for him. Spencer said meeting agendas and council packets are posted online at www.oakridgenc.com. The meeting adjourned at 9:53 p.m.
He asked to purchase software costing $570 to transmit paychecks for direct deposit; the town would save money on accounting time, and would break even in 15.2 months, he said.

been our home church and is our family church,” she says. “We’ve got the best pastor, and his wife is the backbone… she is right there with him all the time,” Wilson continues. “Mary Brown is a blessing to everyone she meets, and so is Carl. I dearly love my church and the people in it. Carl has been there the whole time, and you don’t see that very often. And he’s been the same, and is a good pastor.” “I have the same Bible and the same wife after all these years,” Brown is quick to say, with a chuckle. At 78 years old, Brown looks forward to many more pastoral anniversaries, and points out that longevity runs in his family (he has a 93-year-old sister!). •••••

NORTHWEST VARSITY WOMEN’S BASKETBALL Northwest Guilford varsity women’s basketball (3-3) pulled away late to defeat Northside Christian Academy (3-3) 52-36 in Charlotte on Dec. 5. “The difference in the game was finally gaining our composure and better spacing with our five-out on offense in the second half,” said head coach Darlene Joyner. “We got some easy buckets once we opened up the middle and matched Northside’s energy on defense.” Northwest mixed up their defense to contain Northside’s forward Eleah Parker, who has received a scholarship offer to play at UNC-Chapel Hill.
“I was extremely impressed with the way our guards, especially Savannah Neas and Toni Tucker, kept pressure on their big 6’3 recruit,” said Joyner. “The maturity level from those two guards to keep the intensity up defensively, despite the height advantage, was excellent. Morgan Pointer played well down the stretch, and, of course, you get 110 percent out of Hayley Barber every night.” Joyner added that she continues to be impressed with her two freshmen this year, Cayla King and Elizabeth Kitley. Pointer led all scorers with 12 points and Tucker finished with 10.
NORTHWEST GUILFORD VARSITY BASKETBALL Northwest Guilford (2-0) shot out the gates against Trinity Christian (4-2) with a 15-2 run to start the game en route to a 69-44 victory at the Phenom Hoop Report Winter Showcase in Raleigh on Dec. 5. “Our guys did a very good job of pressuring the ball full-court and turning it into easy offense,” said head coach Lee Reavis. The Vikings outscored the Crusaders 34-18 in the second half that included a 21-8 run in the third quarter.
Tre’ Turner had 28 points, nine rebounds, five assists and four steals. Reggie Davis posted 18 points and 16 rebounds, his second consecutive double-double. Jalen Spicer, who Reavis said controlled the tempo of the game, finished with seven assists, while Jaylen Gore posted 11 points, seven assists and five rebounds. As we went to press with this issue, Northwest men and women were scheduled to play Lexington on Dec. 9 and Western Guilford on Dec. 10 at home.

Citizens seek to put ‘Christmas’ into parade STOKESDALE – A group of citizens planned to attend the Stokesdale Town Council meeting on Thursday, Dec. 10, at 7 p.m., and petition the council to change the name of the town’s annual holiday parade to “Stokesdale Christmas Parade.” Stokesdale resident Terri Johnson emailed several people on Dec. 2, including Mayor Randy Braswell, saying that she had just learned the annual parade has been called a “holiday pa-
rade” since its inception 18 years ago. Johnson wrote that the use of the “happy holidays” term “purposely leaves Jesus or Christ out of the celebration as to not offend anyone,” and that anyone who does not believe in Christ has no reason to celebrate the holiday.
She hoped to get many people to the meeting, which will be held at Stokesdale Town Hall on Angel Pardue Road, because “a crowd speaks volumes.”

Kevin Golden at Golden Antiques in Stokesdale for helping me select just what we needed to change the look of our business. Everyone was so kind during my trip there, and we highly recommend the business! The U.S. Postal Service carrier from Summerfield who stopped on Cummings Dairy Road, got out of his postal jeep with his waste basket, and picked up cans that were littering the side of the road. What a kind act – thank you! The First Baptist Church of Summerfield men’s group for building a wheel chair ramp for my friend to get into her house. Ms. Brown, Ms. Tammy and Ms. Sellers for the awesome job you do with the afternoon car rider line at Stokesdale Elementary. Summerfield firefighters Allen Atkins, Joe Brady and Ben Watkins for helping Community Lutheran Church with our Trunk or Treat Event. So thankful for kind and knowledgeable firefighters! Joel Kinney of J. Kinney Construction for the exceptional home repair work recently done for us in Oak Ridge. Finding a trusted “house doctor” in the northwest Guilford area is a true treasure! Helen Ledford for drawing and painting our children for so many years and giving us keepsake ornaments of them as angels. Always first on the tree.
Northern students profiled in the student profile section, who have the courage and honesty to say they wish “the school was not all about football.” Rest assured that many other students and parents feel the same way.

GRIPES to... The man driving the Ford F-150 on U.S. 220 on Nov. 27. While I was obeying the law you were blowing your horn and driving in both lanes. Do you realize the lives you put in danger? The person driving a blue F-150 behind a gold van on U.S. 220, who was swerving and blowing his horn. What if that had been your family member being treated that way? The Northwest Observer for having a “Grins and Gripes” section. It’s divisive and fuels anger. I truly believe it’s time to stop. Perhaps we should only have an “accolades” column for positive thoughts – the world could use more of this. Candidates who leave their political signs up long after the election. The ones on Pleasant Ridge and Stanley Huff are still up. I would prefer to forget about politics in this Christmas season.

ROSCOE
...continued from p. 1 Carolina, said he has tried to model the humility he saw in his parents, whom he describes as always being “low-key,” and high school coaches. “The coaches I’ve played under focused on how we got better each week, not on having to win the game. I’ve never told a team that we have to win.” Since Roscoe started coaching in 1971, he has had the support of his wife Jane, who his players and parents affectionately call “Mrs. Coach.” “The biggest thing (in getting to 300 wins) is my wife Jane has helped me,” he said. “We’ve been together for all of these wins. Also, I want to thank my high school coaches, all the players and all of the different parents.”
long,” said Tucker Hord, Northern senior wide receiver. “But I think if you asked him about it, he wouldn’t get caught up in how many wins he has. It’s the next game that matters to him.” “A well-deserved milestone for a legendary coach,” said Landon Klick, who graduated from Northern last year. “That’s a big-time accomplishment for him,” said Mook Reynolds, another Class of 2015 graduate and former Northern football player. “Glad I had the opportunity to be a part of the dynasty.” Austin Coltrane, a 2014 graduate, describes Roscoe as one of the greatest coaches this area has ever seen. “He has a real gift for coaching and just knows how to win,” Coltrane said. “I knew it would only be a matter of time before he reached the 300-win mark.”
What players past and present have to say about Coach Roscoe…
“I’d expect no less with the style of play Coach Roscoe uses,” agreed CJ Freeman, Northern senior running back. “He expects greatness.”
“Three hundred wins shows that Coach has been so successful for so

“Three hundred wins is an amazing accomplishment and a testimony to his commitment to the sport,” said Ed Harris. “In the absence of words, your actions say all that needs to be said. As the announcer for Northern Guilford football, I have a bird’s eye view of the entire field. I see the players. I see the coaches. I see the attitudes (good, bad and other). I see every play on the field. I see the comradery. I see the consistency. And even though I’ve never been to a practice, I’ve seen the evidence of the man who demonstrated his commitment to the sport and to the core values that he has instilled in his coaches and players. “Coach Roscoe is like a pizza. When he’s good, he’s really good. And when he’s bad, he’s still pretty good.”
“Coach Roscoe has been one of the most influential people in my life,” said Chris Ripberger, a 2014 graduate. “It is no surprise that he has reached such an impressive accomplishment. He really is one of the best in the game, and I could not have been more fortunate to have him as a coach. “However, his love for his players will always be greater than his love for the game itself, and that’s why he is such a great coach and person,” Ripberger noted. “Coach Roscoe and Mrs. Coach are always reaching out to their former players and making sure they are okay. He genuinely cares about your well-being even after you leave his program. Small things like that are the reasons he is so successful and deserves every bit of the recognition.”
Facts about Johnny Roscoe: • Has coached for more than 40 years since graduating from Guilford College in 1971 • A founding member of the South Carolina Coaches Association • Has been inducted into the South Carolina Coaches Association Hall of Fame
“Getting a win in any sport is hard, let alone getting 300 wins,” said former player Rocco Scarfone. “The 300 wins attests to his dedication and hard work. He always makes sure his players have a game plan that will enable them to succeed. He sees the game from a different perspective than most and notices little tendencies about teams that most coaches wouldn’t, which gives his players an advantage. He’s also done a great job developing relationships with

players and becoming a part of their lives even after their playing days, which creates a family atmosphere.”
2014 graduate TJ Ruff. “His mentorship on and off the field is what made my years with him so successful. He built a tradition that no one can break. He instilled confidence in us, which allowed my teammates and I to give Nighthawk Nation what they deserved, which was state championships. Congratulations, Coach, on the big 300, a well-deserved accomplishment for the best coach Guilford County has ever seen!”
