Fairways, greens may soon be replaced by houses

Parents request athletic fi elds be more available for local youthAfter meeting with the Parks & Recreation Commission, parents say they are ‘cautiously optimistic” that a compromise will be reached

Developer Kevan Combs has offered to purchase the majority

of the Dawn Acres golf course property,

which has been on the market for four years.

by ANNETTE JOYCESTOKESDALE – If a rezoning request is approved by the town council on May 8, homes will soon replace the golf-ers who populate the greens at Dawn Acres golf course.

Local developer Kevan Combs intends to purchase approximately 113 acres at the back of the golf course property, contingent on the property being rezoned from Agricultural to Planned Development Residential (PD-R). Although Planned Development Residential districts allow for limited neighborhood businesses, Combs is requesting to develop the property for residential use only.

Les Eger, a planner with the Guil-ford County Planning Department, confirmed that Combs has submitted an application to rezone the property for residential use, and he has provided a required sketch plan which indicates lot sizes and locations.

Combs said he plans to develop the property for 80 lots, each with a minimum of 20,000 square feet as required in PD-R zoning districts. Fifty percent of the property will be left as undeveloped open space.

“We’ll be building all brick houses in a price range starting at $350,000,” said Combs.

OAK RIDGE – A group whose members object to the way the town’s athletic

fields are made avail-able spoke at length with

members of the Oak Ridge Parks & Recreation Commission last week.

While cordial, it’s unclear if the meeting will result in immediate solutions.

“I’d say we’re cautiously optimis-tic,” said Mike Criscuolo, who started an online petition objecting to the availability of athletic fields at the town park.

Criscuolo said he and several oth-

ers looking for changes in the way the fields are made available were allotted 20 minutes to speak to Parks & Recreation Commission members at their monthly meeting on April 17. Instead of being limited to that time frame, however, Criscuolo said the dialogue continued for the better part

If approved, a request to rezone property for 80 new homes on 113 acres will transform the Dawn Acres golf course into Stokesdale’s newest residential community.

STOKESDALE town council

April 10 / MEETING HIGHLIGHTSas reported by CINDY BULLARD and PATTI STOKES

�� Mayor Randy Braswell called the meeting to order at 7 p.m. and an opening prayer was led by Rev. Jerry Walker of Oak Level Baptist Church. Councilman Bill Jones was absent from the meeting because he was recovering from carpel tunnel surgery.

CITIZEN COMMENTS�� Howard Carter Jones, president of

Weatherstone Homeowners Association, said he had had intermittent problems with Republic Services not collecting his garbage and recycling in the past, and recently the company did not collect it in his neighborhood for two consecutive weeks as a result of the winter weather. He suggested that when the contract

with Republic Services comes up for re-newal, a clause be included stating that a citizen does not have to pay for waste/recycle collection service that they do not receive. Braswell agreed to discuss this with Republic Services when the contract comes up for renewal.

�� Rev. Jerry Walker of Oak Level Baptist Church announced that his son, Mark Walker, is running for the 6th District Congressional seat. Walker invited everyone to a meet-and-greet from 6:30 to 8 p.m. on April 21 at Stokesdale Business Center. Mark will be present to “reveal what he stands for,” the reverend said.

�� Tim Jones said he was concerned about how long the town can sustain

itself without a property tax, and ques-tioned the town’s spending if the intent is to keep Stokesdale tax-free.

“I’ve heard the power bill in this (town hall) building alone is something like $1,000 a month,” Jones said. “The rent on the old building (in downtown) was about $800.” Jones added he wished there were a requirement that the voters had to pass a resolution before the town council could decide to levy a property tax.

NEW BUSINESSReport from Sheriff’s Department. Filling in for Dep. Scott Casey, Dep. BJ Knight stated that of the calls received in the previous month, 16 reports were generated; incidents reported involved burglary, property theft, minor assaults, drug violations, DWIs and misdemean-ors involving traffic stops.

3 0 Council approved a proclamation declaring April as Disaster Awareness Month.

3 0 Council voted to approve ordinances to change the speed limits on six streets in Arbor Run from 35 mph to 25 mph.

3 0 Per a request from developer Kevan Combs, the council approved a resolution requesting the Department of Transportation abandon state maintenance of a .4-mile portion of Adano Road, which is in the Angels Glen subdivision. Abandoning state maintenance of this portion will allow development over the road.

UNFINISHED BUSINESSPark hours, field conditions. Braswell suggested extending park hours in the summer to accommodate longer hours of daylight, and to reduce the park hours in the winter when daylight hours are fewer.

Noting the town has made a signifi-cant investment in seeding and maintain-ing the soccer fields, Braswell said there

are no restrictions regarding people using these fields after it rains, and consequent-ly they are being damaged. He suggested posting a “Field closed because of wet weather” sign when necessary. He also said he hoped a parks and recreation committee would be formed in the future and would help with these types of issues.

3 0 Council voted to pay Sunshine Scapes, Inc. $90 to pressure wash the picnic shelter and concrete picnic slab.

3 0 Council voted to deny a request by Alecia Smith to lease the community room two days a week for fitness activities, based on the fact that Smith would be using the room as a for-profit business.

When asked for his advice, Town Attorney Bill Trevorrow said a couple of things about this arrangement made him feel uncomfortable, one of which was that it was for an indefinite period of time, and that the town hall was “a people’s building for public purposes, not for private businesses.”

3 0 Council voted to waive the facility usage fee for NC Sand Volleyball to use the sand volleyball courts in the town park for Monday and Thursday eve-ning practices, and for tournament play on two Saturday dates in May, one in June and three in July. It was noted that last year the non-profit group made a donation to the town that was more than the facility usage fee would have been.

3 0 Council voted to purchase

NEWS in brief ...continued from p. 3

Developer requests expansion of shopping center’s fl oor areaOAK RIDGE – As stated in Oak Ridge’s development ordinance, the maximum gross floor area for a single business in the town’s SC (shopping center) zoning district is 30,000 square feet; the maxi-mum gross floor area per development, including outparcels, is 100,000 square feet.

The ordinance’s text pertaining to maximum gross floor area was adopted after the Oak Ridge Commons Shopping Center was developed; consequently, the building occupied by Lowes Foods, at 41,500 square feet, and the entire shop-ping center, with about 124,585 square feet of gross floor area, is considered to be in legal non-compliance.

Philip Cooke, one of the shopping

center’s owners, is requesting the town amend Sec. 30-353 of its develop-ment ordinance to allow a one-time expansion of Lowes Foods. The grocery store would like to expand into adjoin-ing units as well as expand the back of those units so they would be flush with the space Lowes currently occupies. If approved, Lowes would occupy an additional 8,500 square feet and invest several million dollars in the expansion.

Public hearings for the text amend-ment to the development ordinance will be held during the Planning and Zoning Board meeting on April 24, and again during the town council meeting on May 1. Both meetings will be at the town hall, 8325 Linville Road, at 7 p.m.

Early voting, April 24 -May 3GUILFORD COUNTY – Registered vot-ers who reside in Guilford County may vote early by mail or in person. In-person early voting for the May 6 Primary begins on Thursday, April 24 and ends on Sat-urday, May 3 at 1 p.m.

Early voting will be available in the Old County Courthouse during regular office hours (Monday-Friday 8 a.m. – 5 p.m.) and at seven additional sites with extended hours of operation. The additional sites are: Guilford Agricul-ture Center, Brown Recreation Center, Bur-Mil Club, Craft Recreation Cen-ter, Leonard Recreation Center, Oak Hollow Mall, and Washington Terrace Park. All polling places are wheelchair accessible.

Voters are not required to show pho-to identification to vote in this election, but will be asked if they have acceptable

photo identification. It will be required starting in 2016.

There is no same-day registration during early voting, so residents of Guilford County must have been regis-tered by Friday, April 11 to be eligible to vote in the primary. Voters who wish to change their party affiliation must have made that change with the Board of Elections by the same date.

The deadline to request an absen-tee ballot by mail is Tuesday, April 29 at 5 p.m.. A voter who has a sickness or disability may request a ballot by mail any time prior to 5 p.m. on Monday, May 5.

With almost 39 years of dedication to the ministry profession, Webster feels he now has more to offer the body of Christ than ever before. And because he believes one should never get out of the “academy of learning,” he also brings extensive theological knowledge to his flock. He holds a bachelor’s degree in religion and philosophy from Shaw

University Divinity School, a master’s degree in divinity, and a doctorate in theology degree, which he received only four years ago.

“I’d still be in school if I had the time,” he noted.

As a young man, Webster wasn’t interested in a lifelong career in the ministry. He said when he got his call to the ministry, he was married with a son and enrolled in business school.

“I’ll put it to you as simple and blunt as I can. I didn’t want it, but this calling was a constant pull, awake and asleep,” Webster explained. “I used all kinds of excuses, even as lame as, ‘I have hay fever; I can’t do that.’ But I couldn’t get away from it. It was something that I couldn’t fulfill except to do it.”

Webster is a firm believer in ministry that meets the needs of the people. He said his first mission is to win souls for the kingdom; only second to that mis-sion is to meet the needs of the whole man.

“The word of God is relevant to every generation, and you have to apply it to the relevancy of the people at the time,”

OAK RIDGE – Oak Ridge Baptist Church has deep roots in the Oak Ridge community. Founded in 1894, the church was originally located across the street from its present location.

When Dr. James Webster began his ministry at the church, he preached to an average of 40 people on Sunday mornings. This month, Webster will cel-ebrate 30 years as pastor of the church, which now has more than 300 people from 13 cities attending each week. One congregant drives from Cary, N.C., two to three times a week to attend church services and other activities.

Webster’s congregation is express-ing their love and appreciation for his 30 years of service by hosting a week of

special events to honor him and his wife Brenda; the week’s events will culminate in a banquet on April 26 and a special worship service at 10 a.m. on April 27.

Modest and appreciative of the celebration, Webster is quick to deflect praise for reaching such an important milestone.

“I take no credit for any of it. I am God’s undershepherd,” Webster said. “Great churches are great because of great people. Great people follow righ-teous instruction, and I am responsible for preaching that.”

“I know what it takes for the church to go and grow. It takes people. This church, from Day One, has been one of the most loving churches,” Webster re-flected. “People love and care for each

much mowing that would entail.”

Because they had several clients who were interested in having new homes built and needed lots to build them on, the couple decided to sub-divide the parcel and subsequently developed the Rymack community, which is named after their two children, Ryan and Mackenzie. The neighbor-hood is situated behind their home, and when completed there will be six homes in it. Currently, there is only one lot left for sale.

Even before they started construc-tion on their new home, the Stewarts spurred curiosity in the area when they began erecting the fence that surrounds the home. Lindsey estimates the fence covers over 1,000 linear feet and incor-porates both ornamental and privacy features.

The exterior of the one-and-a-half-story home has attracted as much attention as the fence that surrounds it. A lot of today’s homes use stone as an accent feature, but this couple chose to do their home completely in stone. It is the type of exterior that Lindsey says her husband has always wanted.

The interior of the home is no less

unique than the exterior. It has four bedrooms, five-and-a-half baths, a home theater and a bonus room.

Some people like an open plan, but this floor plan takes it to the limit.

“We don’t like being enclosed, so our whole house is wide open,” says Lindsey. “We have fewer rooms, but the ones we have are really large.”

She adds that the house features a sunken living room and they often use it to play baseball – the real game, not the virtual kind!

Lindsey says Justin got creative with the ceilings in the home.

“He wanted a different ceiling in ev-ery room,” she says, noting the master bedroom has an eight-trey ceiling.

In addition to the house, there’s also a detached three-car garage. The LJ Custom Homes office is located in this structure. The attached garage has room for another four vehicles.

Although Lindsey says it “felt like forever” when they were building, the construction of their home only took about four months – they began build-ing in November and moved into their new home last month.

your QUESTIONS ...continued from p. 4Webster expounded. “Change is dif-ficult. Nobody likes it even if it’s for the better. I am a firm believer that when you are obedient to the Word, God blesses your efforts.”

Christopher Love, a member of Oak Ridge Baptist Church, first met Webster when he was 11. Now a senior studying engineering at North Carolina A&T, he acknowledged the reverend was a very prominent male figure and role model in his life.

“From the beginning, he took me in like I was one of his sons. As a young person, it is so beneficial to have God-fearing men in the world to be a positive influence,” said Love.

Dr. Alton Kornegay, Oak Ridge First Baptist’s associate minister and youth di-rector, has known Webster for 10 years. “He’s got it right,” said Kornegay. “He loves God first, family second and the church third.”

Kornegay also applauds Webster for

continually creating and expanding the church’s ministries to serve the needs of the people, including adding Bible stud-ies, a nursery and children’s church.

In addition, Webster’s missions to win souls and meet the needs of the people reach beyond his own congregation. The church is involved in many local, national and international mission works.

“I am a great lover of foreign mis-sion,” Webster declared.

Regarding the upcoming celebra-tion of his 30-year anniversary with Oak Ridge Baptist Church, Webster is gratified that so many around him are excited about his accomplishment.

“I am humbled and grateful,” he said.

When asked about the legacy he hopes to leave, Webster said, “I recog-nize people will forget every sermon I’ve ever preached, but I hope they will not forget how I tried to live on a daily basis and the example that I’ve tried to live.”

GREENSBORO UNITED SOCCER ASSOCIATIONExecutive director: Pete Polonsky

A little background on your associa-tion: GUSA has been offering youth soccer programs in Greensboro since 1978. This was when soccer was gaining popularity in the U.S. and high schools were just starting to offer soccer pro-grams.

Tell us more about what you offer: GUSA offers youth soccer programs for youth from ages 3 to 18, and for all levels, from recreation to travel. We are

one of the few soccer clubs in the U.S. that offers soccer from recreation all the way through professional.

GUSA has a significant focus on outreach, and we take soccer to the community. We look to partner with local organizations with fields in the commu-nity to make it easier for our families to get to.

“Keep It Local” art and pottery show set for April 26OAK RIDGE – The spring “Keep it Local” art and pottery show is scheduled for Saturday, April 26, at Stealing Crow Farm, 2409 Oak Ridge Road, Oak Ridge, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Rain date is Sunday, April 27, at the same time and location.

This spring’s show will feature 25 lo-cal visual artists.

“We are so excited to continue to bring new artists to our visitors at each event,” said show founder, organizer and local potter, Leanne Pizio. “Once artists show here, they go on to other events and continue to grow artistically. I feel gratified that I can give this opportunity to my fellow artists.” The “Keep It Local” Art Show will feature

works by local artists, such as this fi ber doll made by Kim McEntee.

“Fun” is not usually the first word that comes to mind when think-ing of orthodontics, but that is the atmosphere you will find at Reynolds Orthodontics in Summerfield and Greensboro. Mark Reynolds, DDS, MS, and his helpful staff make sure that patients and their families always enjoy their visits to the orthodontist.

Located on Lake Brandt Road off Highway 150, the Summerfield office is warm and welcoming. Near the service desk and coffee bar in the waiting room is a mural devoted to the “Reynolds Rascals Kids’ Club,” featur-ing mascot “Johnny Toothbrush” and photos of patients’ younger siblings.

Reynolds Rascals was started as a way to make visits more fun for younger kids, who are often bored while waiting for their big brother or sister. Members get a T-shirt and gift bag, as well as birthday cards and a free exam at age seven.

Patients get special treatment too, receiving a T-shirt and balloons when they get their braces put on. They also receive commemorative photos when they begin treatment and on that special day when they get their braces off.

Taking the braces off is Reynolds’

favorite part of his job. “It’s such a re-ally cool day,” he says with a smile.

The staff also joins in the fun, dressing up every year for Halloween and various theme days through the year, including wearing favorite team T-shirts during the ACC Tourna-ment. Monthly contests, in addition to participation in local happenings and charitable events, are other ways Reynolds and his staff engage with the community.

But aside from all the fun activities, Reynolds Ortho-dontics is a state-of-the-art practice that takes pride in giving patients plenty of time for their ap-pointments, allowing for more one-on-one attention.

“We get to know our patients, learning about what sports they are into or who was in a school play,” Reynolds says. “Fami-lies appreciate the time we invest in their kids and making sure all their questions are answered.”

Reynolds also ensures that he

has the best technology available for his patients. One unique piece of equipment is the 3D facial X-ray unit, available in the Greensboro office.

“The 3D unit shows what regular X-rays cannot, including exactly where an impacted or damaged tooth lies,” explains Reynolds. “A side benefit is patients don’t need to have impres-sions made if we have a 3D image.”

Other services include the popular, clear Invisalign braces and Damon braces, which are more comfortable

than traditional braces and require fewer office visits.

Before becom-ing an ortho-dontist, Reynolds earned a degree in accounting at Ohio State Univer-sity and worked as a CPA. He spent four years as an auditor for Arthur Andersen before deciding to go back to school to

get his degree in dentistry.

It was his love of medicine and his childhood experience with a kindly

dentist that inspired him to change careers. He graduated with honors from the University of Maryland in Baltimore, completing his orthodontic training at the University of Texas Health Science Center in Houston.

While in dental school in Baltimore, Reynolds met his wife, Jill, a Greens-boro native. She is now a partner in his business and serves as communications director, putting her master’s degree in publication design to good use.

The Reynolds have four children, two sons ages 11 and 9, and two daughters adopted from South Korea, ages 7 and 5. They all enjoy taking family trips to the mountains and attending the kids’ extracurricular activities.

The Reynolds family appreciates the sense of community they have found in Summerfield and Greensboro.

“The people are super-friendly,” Reynolds says. “And I’m excited for the growth I see coming in the north-west Guilford area.”

A&Y trail is an assetHaving just finished a lovely walk

on the Atlantic & Yadkin Railroad trail, I want to commend the community on such a wonderful asset.

My family has enjoyed the water-shed trails around the Greensboro reservoirs and the A&Y trail for years. Unfailingly, the people I have met in this environment are friendly and respectful.

But today is the first time I walked

the A&Y trail section north of the Way-side access on 220.

The trail follows the old railroad tract bed with a lovely canopy of green overhead and is surrounded by woods in most places ending in the unfinished 220 tunnel.

I do hope the trail can be extended along the old railroad bed and this asset to our community be furthered.

Change can be a step forwardTrails, interstate, shopping ... chang-

es! Changes are always tough, or so we all believe. But if we hadn’t opted for changes, we would still be in caves!

Summerfield’s motto is “respectful of the past, focused on the future.”

Let’s not lose focus. Although

constructive criticism and opinions are valued, I do feel certain individuals opposed to the changes are bent on opposition for the sake of preventing any development in the town.

Let’s not forget our state and the Piedmont area have suffered from an

exodus of families/young couples for the very same reason.

No one wants our town to turn into a circus, and therefore valued changes with consensus is the way of the future.

Consensus means majority, and a lo-cal vote regarding these changes would

not be a bad idea. There will always be folks for and against, but let’s remember that we need to focus on the future. Having narrow roads, no sidewalks/trails, and no shopping is a step back, not forward!

Burt Russell, SUMMERFIELD

Candidates should focus on issuesMay 6 is N.C. Primary Election Day.

The results will very likely determine which one of the numerous 6th District candidates goes to Washington, D.C., to represent the people.

I believe there are great differences between the candidates. They all have their strengths and weaknesses. How-ever, some have chosen to run their campaigns by attacking their opponents with PAC mailings full of misleading information. Others have at least had the courage to make their accusations in person, so the voters could judge the candidate’s sincerity. Still fewer have had the courage to rise above the temptation to attack anyone and run on the issues.

I believe when the smoke clears and the results are in, the person we send to Washington will not have been changed by the election. They can be expected to conduct themselves in pretty much

the same manner they did during the campaign.

The question is, then, how do you want your elected officials to conduct your business?

Do you want them to have secret dealings with “investors” who will at-tempt to sully someone else’s reputation on their behalf?

What about their willingness to ac-cept and work with all their constituents back home?

I believe Mark Walker has con-ducted himself with dignity and honesty during the campaign. He has man-aged to keep his focus on the issues and proved that he has the qualities to represent the 6th District in the same exceptional manner we have enjoyed during Rep. Howard Coble’s long and honorable career.

Bill Jones, STOKESDALE

PD-R zoning allows individual lots to be as small as 20,000 square feet, but the accompanying open space and common areas must be enough to ensure average lot density within the development is no less than it would be with RS-40 zoning (residential, minimum 40,000-square-foot lots).

Dawn Acres was first opened to the public on Labor Day in 1967 by Loyde Stewart and his wife Jo. Both hard-working tobacco farmers, the couple decided to turn their tobacco fields into a playground for area residents.

After Loyde’s death in 2009, the cou-ple’s four children put the golf course on the market.

Stewart’s grandchildren are cur-rently running the course that their grandfather operated and dearly loved. Although a sale is pending, the course remains open and it is business as usual.

“Over the years, we’ve made a lot of good friends and have had a lot of loyal customers,” says Kay Harrell, one of

Stewart’s three daughters. “We want to make sure that these people and every-one else knows we’re still in operation. The course is being maintained as normal and should remain open throughout the summer until everything is finalized.”

The rezoning request does not in-clude the approximately 30 acres at the front of the property, which borders N.C. 68 and includes the clubhouse. This parcel is being retained by the family, who said there are no immediate plans for its future use.

A public hearing will be held during the Stokesdale Planning Board meeting on Thursday, May 1, at 7:30 p.m., after which the board will make a recommen-dation to the town council to approve or deny the rezoning request.

A second public hearing will be held during the town council meeting on Thursday, May 8, at 7 p.m.; at that time, the town council will make the decision as to whether to approve or deny the rezoning request.

of an hour.Criscuolo said he represents almost

300 people, many of whom have signed his petition at www.change.org.

The issue pertains to the availability of fields for T-ball, coach-pitch baseball and lacrosse practice, with Criscuolo and others arguing local children are taking a back seat to adult leagues and softball tournaments involving teams from outside the area. They say 60 per-cent of the weekend field reservations in 2013 were cancelled, meaning the fields sit empty many weekends – not used for tournaments or available for local youth.

Criscuolo said while he doesn’t speak for the Oak Ridge Youth Association, many of the association’s members have signed his petition and support the is-sues it addresses.

Bill Edwards, chairman of the Parks & Recreation Commission, said in an email that commission members have agreed to review existing policies for us-age of the town park’s athletic fields.

“This is part of an existing administra-tive review process through which policies and procedures evolve,” he wrote. “Since the park’s inception, (Oak Ridge Town Park) policy and procedure deliberations have been handled in a judicious and thoughtful manner for applications over the long term, and the current contem-plation is part of that process.”

Town officials have said they strive to make the park available to local youth. Parks & Recreation Director Terry Lannon said the Oak Ridge Youth Association has more use of the park’s four fields than any other group, and he disputes the figures citing 60 percent cancellation of tournaments.

He also said the majority of tourna-ments for which the fields are booked involve youth, not adults.

“Lots of these kids (playing in tour-naments) are from Oak Ridge and the majority are from northwest Guilford County,” Lannon said.

The use of the fields is scheduled a year in advance and making immedi-ate changes to that schedule is impos-sible, Lannon explained. He suggested that Criscuolo and others he represents would be better advised to take their wishes to the Oak Ridge Youth Associa-tion, which annually requests the dates it wants to reserve the fields.

Lannon agreed that Criscuolo and others raised legitimate questions per-taining to the town following procedure concerning field bookings, and said those issues will be addressed.

“They’re well-intentioned parents,” said Lannon of those who have ap-proached the town on behalf of their children. “We think we’re doing a good job for them.”

As Pastor Roy said, it took a bit of work, but they found a NWO news stand at San Juan Hill, and are appreciative of Teddy Roosevelt and the Rough Riders for securing this southern distribution point for their favorite local newspaper.

Max and Megan Huber took their NWO to Spain so they could catch up on the local news during spring break. Max, a sixth-grader at Northwest Middle School, and Megan, a freshman at NWHS, checked out the news from home in the Plaza Mayor in Madrid, Spain. Behind them is a bronze statue of King Philip III of Spain, created in 1616 by Jean Boulogne and Pietro Tacca.
