Readers give thanks for this year’s blessings

by the readers of theNorthwest Observer

Thanksgiving. It’s the time of year when people often reflect more on all the positives in their lives. We recently reached out to readers and asked them to share some of those positives with us and the following are some of the responses we received. Look for more in our Nov. 29 issue – and if you’d like to share a positive with us, please email [email protected].

Moving to Summerfield in June was an adjustment for our family. We traded family close by, urban conveniences and the ocean for new neighbors, long and winding roads, and a rural setting. But, this Thanksgiving holiday we find our-selves with much to be thankful for. The blessing that tops the list has to be our warm and welcoming neighbors. Going above and beyond a plate of brownies, we have been offered true friendship. Thank you, Lennox Woods’ neighbors. We are reminded that when one door closes, another door opens and new blessings will flow in.

Sarah Thomas, Summerfield

I am especially thankful for God’s blessings this year. He gave my dad four extra months to be with us before can-cer took him in September, and then He showered us with His love and comfort when it was time to say goodbye. Just a few days ago, God was with my daugh-ter-in-law and brand new grandson who decided to arrive three weeks early. Al-though Brandon had to spend a week in the NICU at Women’s Hospital because of some minor breathing issues, he is healthy and strong overall and a joyful addition to our family.

STOKESDALE – Mickie Halbrook served two years on the Stokesdale Planning and Zoning Board before being elected to the Town Council 13 years ago.

As she prepares to turn over her council seat on Dec. 17, Halbrook looks back on the last 15 years of close involvement in town government.

“I’ve had a part in so many good

things,” Halbrook says. “We were able to set up a water system. We built the town hall and dedicated it as an emer-gency shelter. We built a town park. And we’ve been able to do it all without imposing any property taxes.”

Avoiding a property tax has been key for Halbrook.

“I’ve been very much against im-posing any taxes,” she says. “My hope is that our future council members

will be as frugal as past members have been.”

Raised in Oak Ridge, Halbrook moved to Stokesdale when she and her late husband Keith married. As the couple was raising their four children, she became involved in both the school system and the town.

system and the town.


I am thankful for my wife be-ing cancer-free for almost five years and nearing her remission date. I am thankful for my precious little girl who is truly a miracle. My caring and giving mother. My wonderful grandparents and sister. My Christian upbringing and renewed strength through God. My home, career and supportive commu-nity/friends and church. We sometimes forget how much we take for granted.

NEWS in brief


Police seek help in locating missing youth NORTHWEST GUILFORD – Zhenya

Prokopchak, 16, has been missing from Roanoke, Va. since Nov. 3 and police have reason to believe he was dropped off in the Oak Ridge/Stokesdale area recently. Prokopchak was last known to have been wearing camouflage pants, a navy blue hoodie, a camouflage jacket and black tennis shoes. He had a tannish colored camouflage hat on his belt and may be wearing it. He was carrying a black backpack and a fishing pole.

Prokopchak is 5 ft. 6 inches tall, weighs 123 pounds, has blonde hair and brown eyes, and has a small half-moon scar on his forehead. If you have any information concerning his disappearance, please contact 911 or the Roanoke County Police Department at (540) 562-3265.

Town talks trash againSUMMERFIELD – A five-year contract with Republic Services to collect and dispose of the town’s recyclables and garbage is about to expire. Since 2009, Republic has had an exclusive franchise agreement with the town and it hopes to extend that agreement for another five years.

At the Nov. 12 council meeting, Town Manager Scott Whitaker reported that he had polled council members about their experience with Republic and overall, received very positive feedback. Ad-ditionally, he said the town receives very few complaints from citizens about the service they receive from Republic.

“Occasionally we get a call from someone who says their trash wasn’t picked up, but it hasn’t been significant and those issues are usually remedied,” Whitaker said. About 90 percent of citizens who pay Republic on a quarterly basis to dispose of their waste also par-ticipate in its recycling program.

Before entering into another long-term agreement with Republic, Whita-ker said he wants to work out a couple of things with the company. One of those things may be building the cost of recycle containers into the program so that all customers would have the same rollout recycling container. This might encourage even more recycling, make the process of emptying the containers more efficient because the Republic employees would be able to empty them by using the hydraulic arm on the truck versus having to empty them by hand when they have unattached lids and are varying sizes, and would possible add to the community’s “curb appeal” by making the recycle contain-ers placed along the street uniform.

Mayor Mark Brown said he had had a good experience with Republic, but

What is the tall brick structure that was recently erected in the Oak Ridge United Meth-

odist Church cemetery? I thought it was a mausoleum for a casket, but there’s no entry door.

According to Dan Chance, treasurer of the ORUMC’s cemetery committee, the

structure is a columbarium, which has niches for urns containing cremated remains, sometimes called “cremains.”

The columbarium at ORUMC holds 72 individual niches. However, it’s possible it can hold the remains of more than 72 people, if spouses or other loved ones wanted their remains together in one niche. Once the niches are sealed, a granite plate will be added, with an engraved inscription of whose remains rest there. The niches in the columbarium at ORUMC will be offered to church members first, once a price is decided upon.

Cremation is usually much less expensive than a traditional burial because it does not include a casket, vault, gravestone and other associated burial costs. Additionally, columbari-ums take up a lot less space in cem-eteries.

“A typical burial plot is 4 by 10 feet, and is built for only one person,” said Chance. “But our columbarium

According to www.ehow.com, since 1975, the number of crematories in the United States has increased more than threefold. In 2009, just over 25

percent of all funerals used cremation. In response to this growing trend, most cemeteries have added columbari-ums to house cremains. In addition to columbariums, many cremation facilities also offer water and garden scattering services.

The N.C. DOT has no plans for a traffi c signal at this busy northwest-area intersection.

I know this has been asked in the past, but I can’t believe there are no plans to address

the traffic backups at the juncture of Pleasant Ridge Road and Summerfield Road during peak hours. This situation will only get worse after U.S. 220 is widened and congestion on Summerfield Road likely increases because of diverted traffic. Would you follow up on this again?

We asked DOT’s Darrell Ferguson, division traffic engineer, again about this and

here is his answer: “The intersection of Summerfield Road and Pleasant Ridge Road has been investigated for possible improvements. At this time we do not have any plans to make improvements in that area. We do not recommend a signal at this time. According to our records, only one accident has occurred at this intersection in the last five years. That would create an obstacle to obtain funding for any turn lane construction since funding is obtained based on the number of accidents along with other criteria.”

his trash had not been picked up on four different occasions in the last four years, despite the fact that it was placed out by the street on the right day.

“If they’ve missed me four times in two years, have they missed others?” Brown asked. He suggested that before entering into another long-term agree-ment with Republic, the town conduct

a survey to gain feedback from citizens on their experiences with the company.

After further discussion, the town council agreed to extend Republic’s contract for one more year, and in the meantime survey citizens. Also, Whitaker will discuss the issue of how to make the scheduling of yard waste pickup easier for residents.

IRS warns of telephone scamThe Internal Revenue Service is

warning consumers about a sophisti-cated phone scam targeting taxpayers, including recent immigrants, through-out the country.

Victims are told they owe money to the IRS and it must be paid promptly through a pre-loaded debit card or wire trans-fer. If the victim refuses to cooperate, they are then threatened with ar-rest, deportation or suspen-sion of a business or driver’s license. In many cases, the caller becomes hostile and insulting.

“This scam has hit taxpayers in nearly every state in the country. We want to educate taxpayers so they can

help protect themselves. Rest as-sured, we do not and will not ask for credit card numbers over the phone, nor request a pre-paid debit card or

wire transfer,” says IRS Acting Commissioner Danny Wer-

fel. “If someone unex-pectedly calls claiming to be from the IRS and threatens police arrest, deportation or license revocation if

you don’t pay immedi-ately, that is a sign that it

really isn’t the IRS calling.” Werfel noted that the first IRS

contact with taxpayers on a tax issue is likely to occur via mail.

by LAURA PULLINS When David Chambers thinks of

Thanksgiving, his mom’s corn pudding and roast turkey are some of the first things that come to mind.

But this year, instead of feasting with family in Summerfield, Chambers will celebrate the holiday among new friends as he marches in the 87th Annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.

A junior at Northern Guilford High School, Chambers is a member of the Nighthawk’s marching band, where he plays the cymbals on the drumline.

In January he applied for a part in the Macy’s Great American Marching Band (MGAMB). Each year students from all over America apply in hopes of being cho-sen as one of 185 musicians to represent their state in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.

“The application process was pretty easy,” said Chambers. “As a percussion-ist I was required to submit a video where they could see how I marched and played, and that I knew the basics.”

Three months later, he received a let-ter congratulating him on being selected as a member of MGAMB’s drumline.

This won’t be his first time performing

in front of a large-scale crowd. In 2010, Chambers travelled to Florida with the middle school marching band to perform at the Gator Bowl – a game attended by about 84,000 people.

But that’s a small number compared to the 2.5 million spectators who will flood the streets of New York on Thanksgiving Day, and the projected audience of 50 million people worldwide.

From learning songs and choreogra-phy to uniform fittings and sightseeing, every minute will be accounted for in the days leading up to the parade. And when the MGAMB isn’t busy rehearsing, band members will visit some of the most famous NYC attractions.

The first stop on their list is the WTC Visitors Center, where they will pay tribute to the victims of 9/11. The following day they’ll visit Rockefeller Center and check out the panoramic views of the city from the observation deck.

“Visiting Top of the Rock is what I look forward to the most,” said Chambers. “As one of the tallest buildings in Manhattan, it has a view of the whole city.”

And of course, the MGAMB can’t go to the Big Apple without taking in a Broadway show. The day before the parade, Chambers will see a matinee

performance of “Matilda,” presented by the Royal Shakespeare Company – one of the most acclaimed theater companies in the world.

But aside from the scheduled group activities, Chambers hopes to fit in a few things of his own – including riding the wooden escalators in Macy’s. Macy’s at Herald Square is the largest department store in the world, and it was the first build-ing to have the modern-day escalator.

Macy’s is also where the parade route ends each year, and where the MGAMB will perform “Can’t Hold Us.” The other piece in the band’s repertoire is “Pa-rade of Christmas Carols,” which will be performed as they’re marching down the street.

On Thanksgiving Day, Chambers will rise before dawn for a final dress rehears-al, where he’ll meet the band captain for a practice performance before having breakfast at the Hard Rock Café.

For 2.5 miles, Chambers and the band will march the parade route, beginning at 77th Street and Central Park West, and ending on 34th Street at Macy’s in Herald Square.

After finishing the parade route, the band will return to the hotel for brunch

and a little relaxation before wrapping up the evening with a Thanksgiving dinner and dance. The following day, Chambers will fly home to celebrate Thanksgiving with his family, thankful for them and the opportunity to participate in an annual parade that brings joy all over the world.

parade facts: The MGAMB was created in 2006

when Music Tours Unlimited partnered with Macy’s, and the band made their debut in the 80th Annual Macy’s Thanks-giving Day Parade.

The parade was started in 1924 by Macy’s employees, and was known as the “Macy’s Christmas Parade,” featuring animals from the Central Park Zoo.

Giant inflatable balloons made their debut in 1927 with Felix the Cat, the first ever character balloon.

on Summerfield Road, near its intersec-tion with N.C. 150/Oak Ridge Road. He said there was a row of dead and dying cypress trees on his neighbor’s property and over the past year people who rented the property had kept a fire going 24/7 within 20 to 30 feet from the trees, and the fire was often unattend-ed. Voight said he returned home on Nov. 1 after being away for a few weeks and found his neighbor standing near his firewood pile, and his firewood had been stolen. His neighbor said he didn’t steal it, but his son had taken most of it to keep the fire going.

Voight said he has had about $190,000 worth of items stolen from his property in the past 10 years and in-stalled wildlife cameras many years ago. “I have taken pictures of unbelievable things going on,” he said. “I’ve called the sheriff’s department in the past and they told me that what is happening on my property is not theft but is called ‘permanently borrowing,’ and there is no law against permanently borrowing in Summerfield … that’s the craziest thing I’ve ever heard of.” He said he filed charges against his neighbors for the stolen firewood and wants something done about all the theft.

John O’Day, who ran for town coun-cil but wasn’t elected, congratulated those who were elected and thanked John Wray and Mark Brown for their service. He also thanked everyone who supported and voted for him.

Regarding the negative campaign-ing that had taken place, O’Day said he wanted to disassociate himself from it. “I think we can have a better dialogue than that,” he said. To Tim Sessoms,

who will be sworn in as mayor in De-cember, he said, “If you’ve raised seven kids, you’ve done a lot more good than you’ve done wrong.”

O’Day thanked Dwayne Crawford for working on the referendum so citizens could separately elect a mayor every two years. Running for office was a great experience, O’Day said. “I learned a lot – one thing was not to believe every-thing I hear about somebody, so I’ll go ask them … As a town, I’d really like to see us spend more time talking to each other instead of about each other.”

Dwayne Crawford said there had been a lot of discussion about civility and positivity. “I’ve never liked a bully and what I dislike more is a hypocrite. If you’ve been reading the local paper, you’ve heard a little about the North-west Observer’s recipe board, with my name mentioned in context. Well, when the NWO was still hosting a forum and I was sitting on this council, I discovered it was being used by certain family mem-bers of certain council members to bully other council members and I expressed an opinion on that and I asked for it to be addressed. Mrs. Stokes said, ‘Just be-cause you ran for office and got elected, it comes with the territory – and you deserve it.’ So, I got a little mad. I didn’t like seeing the bullies get away with it. So I exposed the fact that many of her staff members were being two-faced on this board and they were having conver-sations with themselves. So, you know the rest of the story … that I’m a hacker. Mrs. Stokes saw fit to tell you what my rationale was for doing something that I never did … and on and on and on.”

Crawford then referenced the

SUMMERFIELD town councilas reported by PATTI STOKES

Mayor Mark Brown called the Nov. 12 meeting to order at 6:35 p.m. Council-woman Elizabeth McClellan asked about two checks written to N-Focus for zoning enforcement and Finance Officer Ka-trina Whitt explained they were monthly payments that happened to both be writ-ten in October, but were not duplicate payments.

The amended meeting agenda and Sept. 10 meeting minutes were approved.

ANNOUNCEMENTS The Stokesdale Holiday Parade will

be held Dec. 14 at 2 p.m.

Lt. Cameron Piner invited everyone to an open house for the new District 1 sheriff’s office on Nov. 16.

PUBLIC COMMENTS Don Wendelken congratulated the

newly elected officials and encouraged them to come to meetings prepared, ask the “who, what, where, why and how,” and remember their decisions would be looked at through a prism.

“Politics gets personal and usually worse after you are sworn in,” Wen-delken said. “You need to be able to take constructive criticism. Remember, you don’t represent the developers or special interest groups … you represent us, the taxpayers of Summerfield. Your hair will gray and your stress levels will be tested. Always keep the best interests of the Summerfield citizens in mind.”

Cheri Pickett also congratulated the newly elected council members and thanked Mayor Brown and Councilman John Wray for all the time they put into working on the town council.

Paul Voight lives in the rock house

“ I have taken pictures of unbelievable things going on. I’ve called the sheriff’s department in the past and they told me that what is happening on my property is not theft but is called ‘perma-nently borrowing,’ and there is no law against permanently borrow-ing in Summerfi eld … that’s the craziest thing I’ve ever heard of.”

Northwest Observer’s Grins and Gripes feature, which was introduced in the paper in 2008. “It’s nothing more than a continua-tion of what the forum was, except better controlled … The motivation behind the Grins and Gripes is not good for Summerfield. Everything I have done I have put my face on and put my name on and I expect better from the paper.”

COMMITTEE REPORTSFinance. Finance Officer Katrina Whitt reported the committee’s main topic of discussion at its October meeting was trail development. In the fiscal year 2013/2014 budget there is an approved $250,000 budgeted item for trail devel-opment. While there were no restrictions on how that money would specifically be used for trail progress and development, an anticipated use was trail design.

Whitt explained that in 2011 the town entered into an agreement with NCDOT to connect the A&Y Greenway to the future tunnel that will pass under U.S. 220 (near Long Asphalt Paving & Trucking). To get federal money for this

trail connection project approved, a trail design study is needed.

Councilwoman Alicia Flowers asked about

the cost of the tunnel and Town Manager Scott Whitaker said initially the cost was about $.25 million, but more recently he had heard the

figure of $.5 million. If the town does

not honor their agree-ment to connect the A&Y

Greenway to the tunnel, it will be required to pay 20 percent of the

tunnel’s construction and administration costs.

Trails and Open Space. Chairman Paul Lambrecht said that on Nov. 10 about 16 people joined in the walk along a piece of the proposed trail, located where the future tunnel will be constructed under U.S. 220, and “we learned some things and confirmed some things.”

“If we build any trail to federal standards (i.e., paved and handicapped accessible), 80 percent of funding will come from MPO funds and 20 percent from our coffers,” Lambrecht said. “As for maintenance costs, we can go back to the MPO and build that into it as well … It was a good walk and everyone has

a good perspective on the proposed trail. We have to do better at commu-nication – that’s more important than construction. If we get the communica-tion right, the construction will be easy.”

Historical. Chairwoman Linda Southard encouraged everyone to view the to-bacco exhibit on display in the Town Hall. The Historical Committee helped with the Veterans Day celebration on Nov. 10.

Public Safety. Don Wendelken said everything had gone well at the last meeting and the committee will meet again on Nov. 20 at 5:30 p.m. at the fire station.

Audit report. Rex Rouse of Rouse, Rouse, Penn & Rouse presented the annual audit report and said the Town continues to remain in a very sound financial position. Total assets increased from $7,732,124 to $8,071,243 last fis-cal year. The property tax collection rate is about 98.81 percent.

Referencing a “significant control deficiency” which was noted in a letter

to the council, Rouse explained that Summerfield “does as good of a job as any small town could do” regarding separation of duties, given its limited number of employees.

Flowers asked Whitaker about increasing the amount the town’s finance officer is bonded for (presently $50,000). “Would you consider rais-ing that amount since there is so much money in the bank?” “Yes,” Whitaker responded.

Notification letter. As a component of Rezoning Case RZ-01-13 (the property on N.C. 150 which was rezoned last month for commercial use), Whitaker explained the town was required to provide a notification letter/statement describing whether its approval was con-sistent with a town-adopted comprehen-sive plan and any other applicable plan, as well as an explanation as to why the council considered the approval to be

reasonable and in the public interest.

Flowers said she didn’t agree that the decision (to approve the rezon-ing request) was reasonable, in the public interest, or based on the town’s comprehensive plan. Councilwoman Dianne Laughlin clarified that the deci-sion before the council was not about the rezoning, but about the notification letter. “You are certifying that this letter is consistent with the motion that was made,” confirmed Bill Hill, the town’s attorney.

3 2 After further discussion, council voted 3-2 to approve the notifi-cation letter for Rezoning Case RZ-01-13, with Flowers and McClellan voting against.

Unemployment insurance. Whitaker said municipalities previously had a choice as to whether to purchase un-employment insurance, but were now required to have an unemployment insurance account with the Division of Employment Security. The town’s cost to comply with this requirement will be about $1,600 per year.

5 0 Council voted unanimously to purchase annual unemployment insur-ance and approve a budget amendment to transfer funds budgeted but not spent on town hall exterior improvements.

Policy revisions. The town’s internal control policy was revised to reflect a previous change to the list of authorized check signers, in which the Finance Com-mittee chair was replaced with a “desig-nated Town Council member.”

Development ordinance. Whitaker said the Summerfield Development Ordi-nance was the product of a steering committee which, along with a consul-tant, spent a lot of time on it. The draft ordinance had been before the town for quite some time, but still needed further revisions.

5 0 Council voted unanimously

to approve (1) a contract to hire N-Fo-cus to assist in development ordinance review and edits, on an hourly basis and not to exceed $13,200, and to approve (2) the development ordinance update’s legal review by the town attorney at a flat fee of $2,500.

REPORTS, UPDATESWhitaker gave details on the town’s

October recycle/e-cycle event, and said that 192 vehicles came through and brought 1,820 scrap tires, over a ton of white goods and appliances, seven tons of electronics and TVs, .25 tons of document shredding and 77 sets of mattresses and box springs.

Regarding the I-73 project – Jan. 21 is the date set for bid openings, which is about a month behind but coming fast.

A couple of draft ordinances will be soon presented to the zoning board and ultimately to the council; one is regard-ing abandoned junk vehicles.

A meeting is scheduled for Nov. 21 that will hopefully make progress on the noise wall at the entrance to the Elm-hurst neighborhood.

Exterior town hall improvements are ongoing and Whitaker said the company hired to do the work had a small crew but was doing a very thorough job.

Whitaker said on Nov. 8, a pretty fall day, at least five county activity buses brought children to the Summerfield Community Park. The town’s parks and recreation manager had worked on an orienteering project, and stations had been set up around the park.

Flowers asked about the definition of a junked vehicle and Whitaker said he didn’t have the draft ordinance with him, but the definition had to do with whether the vehicle was drivable.

Council recessed at 7:50 p.m. for a closed session, then reconvened at 8:20 p.m. and adjourned the meeting.

Get. Be. Stay. Connected

The company might be relatively new to our area, but the faces are definitely familiar. In fact, financial planners Sherwood Greer and Joe Vartanian, managing partners of Gate City Advisors, have been working with people in northwest Guilford County for well over two decades.

After working together for over a de-cade, the two men launched Gate City Advisors in a renovated warehouse in downtown Greensboro. They later rec-ognized a gap that needed to be filled, which led to them opening an additional office in Oak Ridge a few months ago.

“Our clients in the northwest area have put a great deal of trust in us by investing with us,” says Greer. “We want to show them that we are willing to invest in them as well. We also want to be able to offer the convenience of serving them where they live.”

KEEPING YOU ON THE RIGHT

FINANCIAL TRACK

Unless you love crunching numbers and forecasting the economy, finan-cial planning is not usually the most exciting topic for the average person to delve into. The partners are quick to point out, however, that a well-thought-out financial plan can mean the difference between living a com-fortable lifestyle and constantly worry-ing about the future.

Greer, 51 and Vartanian, 37, are passionate about what they do. For them, it’s not simply a matter of mak-ing the most money or having the highest return rate. It’s about identifying their client’s in-dividual goals and help-ing them work towards achieving those goals with minimal stress.

In opening Gate City Advisors, the two have brought a vision to reality by utilizing their knowledge and expertise to assist cli-ents in reaching their goals. Rather than simply suggesting various finan-cial options, the advisors go through a process to keep their clients on track to-wards meeting their goals. And, that’s one of the major things that sets Gate

City apart from other financial advisers.

The financial planning process begins with an individual consulta-tion and a set of questions designed to help clients solidify their financial goals. For Greer, this is one of the most exciting aspects of his business.

“We start out with the same questions for ev-eryone but the end re-sult is always different,” says Greer. “Each client has a unique situation and

a unique background. We em ploy the

tools to help them create their own financial vision.”

Rather than focusing on only a small portion of a person’s financial

situation, the firm looks closely at the entire picture.

As Vartanian explains, “there are numerous components to

a person’s financial situation and it’s impossible to effectively work with one area without considering all the others.”

Because of this, Gate City Advisors, through INVEST Financial Corpora-tion, offers a wide range of financial

services including: insurance planning, personal and business planning, tax planning strategies, retirement plans and more. It’s a structure that not only allows for convenience but ultimately

helps enable the client to make wise choices in all areas.

Having experienced both the highs and lows of the financial world, Greer and Vartanian are the first to recognize that

there’s no magical meth-od to investing.

“People are being bom-barded by information every

minute of every day, but they have no idea what to do with it,” says Vartanian. “We know how to interpret this massive amount of information and combine it with a client’s individual financial situa-tion to determine the best suited plan for that particular client.”

“Our approach is personalized, de-tailed and realistic with regular reviews of each client’s financial management program,” explains Greer. “We all work diligently to make sure our clients’ in-vestment strategies stay on track.”

A Member Of

DeVaney Dentistry welcomes Dr. Ibazebo to practice

Dorrette Iba-zebo, DDS, recently joined DeVaney Dentistry in Oak Ridge as a dental associate.

Having lived throughout the East Coast, Dr.

Ibazebo made North Carolina her home after graduating from high school in Charlotte, attending Duke University, and graduating from UNC at Chapel Hill School of Dentistry in 2008. While at Duke, she majored in biology with a double minor in chemistry and Spanish.

“Dr. Ibazebo brings a compassion-ate bedside manner to the practice,” Dr. Matt DeVaney said of the practice’s new associate. “She shares our philoso-phy that ‘all that is good begins with a smile.’”

Ibazebo also brings an emphasis on cosmetic restorative dentistry along with fluency in conversational Spanish.

“I enjoy speaking Spanish,” Dr. Ibazebo says. “More importantly, it puts native speakers at ease and allows for a more personal interaction. Being able to explain procedures, diagnoses, and treatment plans in Spanish helps to ensure that native speakers fully under-stand their options.”

Dr. Ibazebo belongs to the N.C. Dental Society, American Dental Asso-ciation, Old North State Dental Society, and Greensboro Medical Society.

In addition to her professional asso-ciation memberships, she’s involved with a number of civic organizations. She is also a member of Kings Park Interna-tional Church, a translator for King’s Kids Children’s Ministry and a volunteer with the N.C. Missions of Mercy Dental Clinic and the YMCA.

Dr. Ibazebo is an avid athlete and fan. While a student at Duke University, she was the captain of the Blue Devils’ varsity volleyball team, and she played professional volleyball in Turkey.

We are so grateful

for our dental family!

Happy Holidays

“I had an interest in the town and felt like I had something to give,” she recalls.

In her time as a councilwoman, Hal-brook has strived to educate herself on the issues that came before the town in order to make the most informed choices.

“I’ve always been really particular with my votes,” she says. “I’ve wanted to do what’s best for the town and the people.”

Even so, Halbrook understands that no one is able to please everybody.

“It’s very hard. That’s why you have to do your research and really work at figuring out what’s best for the town

overall,” she says. “I always tried to vote my conscience and my heart, and that would be the advice I would give to new council members.”

Although Halbrook is turning over her seat on the town council next month, she doesn’t see this as an end to her public service. She plans to continue working with the town’s Public Safety Committee to improve preparations for potential disasters. And, she says if she can help with other town needs, she’s ready to step up to the challenge.

In the meantime, she has nine grand-children and four great grandchildren that she’d like to spend more time with. She’ll also become more involved in her church and she intends to spend time indulging her creative side through her painting.

“I’ve made a lot of friends during the years and I’ll miss working with them on a regular basis,” she says. “But, I’m looking forward to finding new ways to give back to the community.”

Halbrook is appreciative of all the people who have believed in her and al-lowed her to serve on the town council. “Their support has meant so much to me,” she says.

She also extends her gratitude to Mayor Randy Jones and Carolyn Joyner, the town clerk.

“It’s been a pleasure working with both Randy and Carolyn,” she says. “These two people have committed a lot of time to making Stokesdale one of the best towns in the state.”

HALBROOK ...continued from p. 1

THANKFUL ...continued from p. 1

Thankful to be “alive” ... especially after my name appeared on the obit page a few weeks back!

Todd Harmon, Stokesdale

I have so many things to be thankful for that I don’t even know where to begin! Having an especially rough year is a bless-ing – it makes you appreciate the little things. God has helped my family through my own devastating foot/ankle/leg break, and an emergency brain surgery and resuscitation for my daughter. We’ve faced one financial hit after another. Through it all, God brought people into my life who have become new friends and He’s strengthened relationships with old ones. He has brought a closeness in my mar-riage and family life that I treasure. For it all, I am truly thankful.

Cathy Gold, Summerfield

This year I am thankful for my won-derful husband Jake! God blessed me with the right one, for sure. I’m thankful for a loving and close family. Life gets

busy and we still all manage to stay close and spend time together! I love that! And this year I’m thankful for some sweet guys from Nashville who offered to do a free EP iTunes project with me that comes out the beginning of Decem-ber. God is blessing me in all directions. Such a blessed and thankful girl!

Chelsea Sorrell Robertson, Stokesdale

I am most thankful for my wonderful wife Carol and our kids and grandchil-dren. Plus, thanks to the great people in the Northwest Guilford Kiwanis club.

Mark Masters, Colfax

Although my health insurance premi-ums increased this year and my pay was cut due to the new healthcare law, I am thankful to God that I still have a job, I am surrounded by a loving family and friends, I have my health, food on my table, and a roof over my head. I am thankful that I live in the greatest state of North Carolina and in the greatest country in the his-tory of the world, these United States. I am thankful for my freedoms that were bought by our Armed Forces by their many sacrifices and shed blood, so that I can worship my God in my own way with

the freedom of religion, the freedom of speech, and to pursue a life of happiness in this great town of Oak Ridge.

David Cole, Oak Ridge

I vividly remembering feeling the recession’s financial impact on our business beginning in the fall of 2008, and the five years since then have been particularly challenging for our com-munity newspaper. I am deeply grateful for the businesses and churches, large and small, who continued to financially support us through some of the scariest times of our business even though their advertising budgets were often strained – without them our newspaper simply would not exist. I also appreciate the community members who continue to read and value what we offer.

Last, I’m thankful for my faithful and talented team here at PS Communica-tions – every one of them has a great attitude, they work hard for their sala-ries, and even after 17 years and on my longest days and during my most chal-lenging times, they make me smile and remind me of why I do what I do.

HIGH SCHOOL SPORTS

NORTHERN NIGHTHAWKS FOOTBALL(10-2) vs. Central Cabarrus Vikings (11-1)

Friday, Nov. 22, 7:30 p.m. HOME

Looking back l Northern Nighthawks extended their winning streak to 9 games last week after beating Eastern Guilford, 28-0.

“We were happy with the win Friday against Eastern Guilford. Coach Robert-son has done a great job there this year,” says Nighthawks head coach, Robert Brian Thomas.

Quarterback Austin Coltrane, senior, had 9 completions for 154 yards and two touchdowns, and Molick Scott, senior, caught 3 passes for 61 yards. Coltrane leads the league in passing with 1,602 yards. Sophomore CJ Freeman has rushed for 1,319 yards this season.

NORTHWEST VIKINGS FOOTBALL(11-1)vs. Richmond Raiders (9-3)

Friday, Nov. 22, 7:30 p.m. HOME

Looking back l By the second quar-ter of last week’s state playoffs game against Greensboro’s Page Pirates, the Northwest Vikings had taken control. The Vikings led the Pirates 24-7 at the half, and after scoring three more touchdowns in the second half, ended the game 45-15.

Of Christian Dix’s selection as overall player of the game, Coach Joe Woodruff says, “Christian Dix is a two-way player for us as a fullback and linebacker. He is the perfect example of what we want Northwest players to be both on and off the field.”

Anthony Harding was selected as offensive player of the game, and Jeff Killian was selected as the defensive player of the game.

Looking ahead l With a victory in Round 1 of the state playoffs, the Vi-kings now set their sights on the game

against Richmond this Friday, and will again look forward to playing on their home turf.

“Home field advantage is very important in that we have traveled to Richmond County four of the last five years,” says Woodruff. “It is a long trip and a very difficult place to play. Play-ing them at home certainly minimizes the distractions.”

“Richmond County is battle tested and ready,” Woodruff says of the Vikings’ opponent in Round 2 of the playoffs. “Their losses have come against Butler (9-3), Pinecrest (11-1), and Scotland County (12-0). As I mentioned earlier, we have played them four straight years and have used them as a measuring stick for the development of our program. We lost the first three meetings but beat them 28-14 in 2011. It will be a very difficult task to beat them this year.”

play on their home turf in Round 2 of the state playoffs, matching up against the Central Cabarrus Vikings.

“It is always good to play at home,” says Thomas. “Your team can stay in their set routine without the chaos of packing and traveling. There is a level of excitement each week as you move through the playoffs.

“Rankings don’t really mean a

great deal once you enter the playoffs. You only have to beat the team once to move on and not a series. I know Coach Kiefer will have his team pre-pared to travel and compete.

“The fans, band and definitely the student section at our games have been great. I hope we will have a great turnout Friday night for the 2nd round game. It really means a great deal to the players.”

The District 1 Sheriff’s Offi cehas recently responded to the following incidentsin northwest Guilford County.

CRIME / INCIDENT report

FRAUDNOV. 13 | A resident of Belford Road in Summerfield reported his mother was the victim of fraud, after learning a suspect cashed and attempted to cash multiple checks from her checking account. The suspect’s information was recorded, and the investigation is ongoing.

BURGLARYNOV. 11 | A resident of Windsor Farme Road in Summerfield reported seeing suspicious activity at his home around midnight, when he observed an unknown person crawl out of his garage, through a partially opened garage door. Upon in-spection, the homeowner did not find any

property damage or any items missing.

NOV. 13 | A resident of Church Street in northern Greensboro reported a burglary in his home, in which a back window was broken during an attempted break-in. Nothing was reported missing, but damage to the broken window was estimated at $450.

THEFTNOV. 11 | A resident of Benbow-Merrill Road in Oak Ridge reported an un-known suspect stole the N.C. license tag off her Ford van, sometime between Nov. 3 and 10 while the vehicle was parked in her driveway. The vehicle license tag number is TSF-7512.

An open house for the new District 1 sheriff’s offi ce was held on Nov. 16. The offi ce is located at 7506 Summerfi eld Road (behind the two-story gray house now occupied by Keller Williams Realty).

Scam alert Sheriff BJ Barnes would like to

remind the citizens of Guilford County about a scam involving people pos-ing as computer technicians who are making phone calls regarding computer viruses. The suspects are usually call-ing from other countries and are asking people for $200, via a credit card, to remotely remove a potential virus off of their computer. The suspects may also ask them to download software that will

remove any viruses, but the software is malicious in nature.

We urge all citizens to beware of such scams and to monitor their down-loads carefully. Typically, software com-panies will not call and ask for money over the phone to remove viruses. If anyone has questions regarding this scam, please do not hesitate to call the Guilford County Sheriff’s Office Fraud Unit at (336) 641-5963.

GOING BACK TO SCHOOLCAN MAKE YOUR KID SICKER

WAIT UNTIL THEIR FEVERIS GONE FOR 24 HOURS

They have accomplished a “historic” mess and should be duly recognized for it!

GDP? It’s not just in the crapper, but swirling the drain.

Employment? Look at any current graph. It’s sure a good thing the “reces-sion” is over and employment is “recov-ering” eh wot?

Everyone knew that ultimately Obamacare would be required for everyone and nobody’s plan would be grandfathered.

Why? Simple – one of the “stan-dards” for a health plan to be ac-ceptable under Obamacare and thus grandfathered was that it must include

universal pregnancy coverage.

Yes, I said universal.

That is, it had to include pregnancy coverage for men.

As soon as you can find me a man with a uterus and ovaries, I will concede that the claim was possibly something other than a full-on and intentional scam.

Guess what – if your Brosurance program is an EPO (no out-of-network coverage), which is a new creation that just showed up with Obamacare, all out-of-network facilities are zero coverage. You are thus forced to either pay cash or die.

Joe Hughes, OAK RIDGE

Town manager was out of lineHad I not seen it with my own eyes,

I wouldn’t have believed it. In the Nov. 1-7, 2013 issue of this paper I read a letter from the Town of Summerfield’s town manager, Scott Whitaker. Shame on Mr. Whitaker for this submittal. Town managers should not ever make judgment, retaliate or bring forward and criticize the opinions of any citizen he represents.

Our country is founded on “free-dom of speech.” I know of “G Dun-

ham,” but not personally. This is a small town and people hear things. But the foundation of any governmental entity is to allow its citizens to have freedom of speech.

Yes, Ms. Dunham’s letter to every-one was a bit overboard, but that is what democracy is about. If she wants to pay the costs of printing and mailing her election opinions, no matter how they are stated, then that is her right.

Lisa Munro, SUMMERFIELD

Lies, lies and more liesI’m listening to Obama speak about

all the benefits of his Affordable Care Act. I’m sure I heard him say, “It works well if you’re healthy, but not so well if you’re sick!”

Well, what dang good is it if it doesn’t help you when you’re sick? It’s been one lie after another. If you like your present plan … or doctor … or hospital … you can keep it! Well, it turns out all this double-speak is just another big lie! Premiums are going up. Co-pays are going up, and there are additional “penalties” (i.e., taxes in disguise) to be levied against all working, tax-paying Americans too!

Herein is the biggest lie! The 1 per-cent so-called “rich” aren’t going to be the ones paying for the ACA. The work-ing “middle class” (and their children, grandchildren, etc.) are the ones who are going to pay for it – and remember that he sold himself as the savior of the “middle class” too!

For those who still believe him and his liberal supporters, when are you go-ing to wake up and face the truth that we cannot afford to continue to pay for all these “freebie” programs with borrowed money at the expense of the American taxpayer?

Ramon Bell, STOKESDALE

Old enough to vote, old enough to smokeThe New York City Council recently

raised the age that their citizens can smoke tobacco, from 18 to 21. Why? I believe that all adult citizens should have the same legal, political and civil rights. Eighteen-year-olds can vote, drive, serve on juries, and enter into contracts. They can own guns, marry, divorce, and have abortions. Why shouldn’t they be al-lowed to smoke?

I remember that back in ‘’the old

days,’’ 18-year-olds could legally drink alcohol. Were baby boomers more deserving of some rights than the X and Y generations?

We should support more rights for all citizens, not less rights for some citizens. If we allow a U.S. government to take away rights from ‘’them’’ today, that makes it easier for the government to take away rights from ‘’us’’ tomorrow.

Chuck Mann, GREENSBORO

We were lied to about ObamacareDearest Sen. Hagan, You voted for

this lie! We get to keep nothing of our in-surance and you knew it. You’re exempt, however.

And the jobs it’s killing while you again falsely promote job growth in this

state. Trust me when I say that this is intentional. It should alarm every Ameri-can.

Americans need to remember to say “Thank You” to the Democrats on every Election Day going forward.

GRIPES to... Motorists who blow the horn at

farmers moving their equipment. We don’t slow you down because we have nothing better to do – we’re trying to grow the food you eat. Please, have a little patience!

The woman who walks her baby in a carriage on Lewiston Road. Please stop – it is dangerous to walk on the road (not the shoulder) pushing a carriage, and drivers may not see you due to hills, curves and sun glare.

Those who insist on concealed carrying firearms in public. A tragedy following a “trained” person’s poor judgment is far more likely than being rescued from grave danger. You are living in a hero fantasy.

NC QuickPass for the 45-cent bill

for my trip to Raleigh. I didn’t even know I used a toll road. Seems a little inefficient to pay more in postage to mail the bill than the bill itself. Typical government!

Scott Whitaker (Summerfield’s town manager) for his letter to the editor (Nov. 1-7 issue). It would have been sufficient to write your letter to the editor without using such words as “slander, defamation, and libel” when referring to a citizen in a public forum.

Mr. Obama for fibbing to the Ameri-can electorate about Obamacare – eu-phemistically called “ACA.” You knew had you been honest, you would not be President today. I think this is called “bait and switch.”

The stump dump owner on Warner Road. The noise makes sleeping past 7:15 a.m. on our days off or the week-end impossible. The banging of emp-tying dump trucks, the constant dirt, debris and mud in the road is extremely inconsiderate!

BMX racer goes to Nationalsby LAURA PULLINS

Thomas Hooks of Oak Ridge is a six-year-old BMX racing champion. During the two years he’s been racing, Hooks has advanced from the Novice class to the Expert division and he’s ranked No. 1 in both NC BMX districts. Over Thanksgiving he’ll travel to Tulsa, Okla. to compete in the “greatest race on earth”– the USA BMX Grand National.

Competitors travel from all over the world to see this huge racing event. To qualify, Hooks’ best times from six na-tional races were combined to give him a total of 1092 points. He’ll be going into the race ranked in 6th place, which will determine what National Age Group (NAG) he’ll race in next year.

“He’s advanced so much in such a short time,” said Thomas’ mother Ashlee. “As a 1st grader, Thomas is a very fierce

competitor, and this sport has been such a blessing for him and our family.”

Thomas Hooks, 6, is already a BMX racing champion.
