Community members share memories of Sept. 11, 2001
by JIM FULLERand PATTI STOKES
NW GUILFORD Darlene page of Summerfield vividly remembers the
moment 12 years ago when she heard terrorists had flown planes into
the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York City.
I was at work when one of my em-ployees came to me and
whispered, A plane has just flown into one of the twin towers in
New York. I remember looking at her like she had grown
another head, page said.
As they scrambled to gather more information, page got a call
that a close friend was in the hotel next door to the towers
conducting a training session. paige Boyd and her group were
evacuated into the streets, where they were enveloped in a cloud of
dirt, dust and debris.
paige eventually made it across the bridge to N.J., where she
stayed with friends until she could return home. Her sister, Kelley
Groce, was at that time minister of Summerfield United Methodist
Church. Groce held a spe-cial service that evening for members to
gather and pray for those who lost
their lives that day, where we could hold hands, cry, pray, and
just be there for each other, page remembers.
So very many heroes were lost that day, page says, while also
recogniz-ing those who survived. paige Boyd is among those heroes.
Her sense of safety and security were taken from her that day, but
she has fought to get it back, and she has succeeded. I am so very
proud of her and the inspiration that she and others have been to
us since that tragic day. God bless all who were and still are
affected by that day.

OAK RIDGE Dawn Mcpherson, a DOT traffic engineer, has visited
Oak Ridge elementary on more than one occasion since students
returned to school on Aug. 26. So has Angelo Kidd, a regional
school superintendent with Guilford County Schools, along with
transportation and other school
system personnel. Unfortunately, they werent just making a
social visit. They came to assess the traffic situation at Oak
Ridge elementary School on week-day mornings between about 7:10 and
7:40 a.m. when a couple hun-dred cars turn into the school entrance
and line up to drop their children off.

The resulting traffic backups on Lin-ville Road and Highway 150
have been a source of frustration for many parents, as well as
commuters, and Denise Fran-cisco, the schools principal, wants the
community to know shes doing all she can to find a solution.
Francisco attended the Oak Ridge Town Council meeting on Sept. 5
to apprise the town of the problem, and to ask for its support.
The elementary school has about 680 students and 75 staff
members in the building each day, in addition to par-ents and
volunteers who come and go.
As the person bearing a great deal of responsibility for the
safety of our children and the staff members at Oak Ridge
elementary, I at times have to make decisions and policies that not
every single person is going to like and may indeed cause
inconvenience for some, Francisco told the council. At all times
know that a childs safety is the ultimate goal and any decisions
about the use of our car rider line come out of a strong desire to
keep our school and community safe.
Francisco explained to council mem-bers that several incidents
at schools throughout the country prompted her to be more proactive
this year in monitoring foot traffic in and out of the school.
picture yourself as a school admin-istrator standing on the edge
of your schools campus or in the hallway and seeing 100 or more
adults approach-ing the campus from various directions from areas
you cant even see. You cannot differentiate who is a parent because
as hard as you might try, it is hard to know the faces and names of
all parents of 700 students. You might also have spouses of
co-workers who forgot their lunch, or grandparents, or neigh-bors
approaching the school. You really
dont know. And then you realize that of all the adults coming
from all around, there indeed could be a crazed person approaching
the school to do harm How am I to know if that person is mixed in
this crowd? How do I know if they have entered our school? Would
you not act would you not make a decision to ask parents to please
stop parking and walking towards the school each morn-ing to bring
their child to school?
Melissa Stallings, the schools pTO president, also addressed the
council and expressed her support for school staff, who she said
had been fighting a battle for years, especially in the early
morning hours before school starts, when there are a lot of cars
coming and going in a short period of time. Stallings explained
that much of the current congestion stems from parents leaving the
schools front entrance after dropping their children off, then
attempting to turn left onto Linville Road and left again onto
Highway 150.
The best solution, Francisco and Stallings said, may be a
no-left-turn onto Linville Road from the schools front parking lot
during specified times of day.
I cant imagine any other job in our society more significantly
difficult than being a school principal, Mayor Ray Combs said to
Francisco.
But, I have to ask why do parents feel compelled to drive their
kids to school when there is a perfectly legiti-mate alternate way
to get them there (the school bus)? Combs then asked.
Francisco said some elementary stu-dents are picked up by the
bus as early as 6:30 a.m., which some parents feel is much too
early for their childs school day to begin.
The principal assured council that the issue has her full
attention and she will continue to work closely with DOT and the
school system to find ways to reduce the vehicle backups in the
morn-ing. On behalf of the town, Combs of-fered to support her in
any way possible.

Forsyth PediatricsOAK RIDGE
Well miss you, Dr. BramleyWith love from all of us here at
Forsyth Pediatrics Oak Ridge, patients and families
Center and eaten in one of its restaurants.
It is hard to believe that it is gone, pelc says. As a former
New Yorker, I feel this incident touched me more than it might
others. It is like your hometown was being attacked. My brother
lost several friends that day. No one will ever forget what
happened, but with any luck and a lot of faith, we will heal. We
will be able to look back at that day with only posi-tive thoughts
of how many people came together as a country to help one another
and put all differences aside in light of that tragic day.
Oak Ridge resident Cindy Reise and her family were living 40
miles south of the pentagon when the tragedy of 9/11 unfolded.
My husband was working at the Academy on (Marine Corps Base)
Quantico at that time, Reise says. The base went on lockdown for a
while and I remember worrying about a lot of our friends and
neighbors at the pentagon. By noon, the smoke from the wreck-age
was blowing over our house and neighborhood and the skies were
totally quiet of air traffic, which was unheard of around there. It
was my sons second day of kindergarten and my daughters 8th
birthday. It was hard trying to keep some-what of a sense of
normalcy for them and inside, our hearts were aching for all of
those families affected everywhere.
Throughout our area, tributes were paid to those we lost and to
those who put their lives on the line to protect us, as so many
courageous men and women did on Sept. 11, 2001. In downtown
Stokesdale, a 9/11 remembrance ceremony was held on Saturday, Sept.
7 in Linear park.
About three dozen people attended the ceremony. Stokesdale town
council-man Frank Bruno, guest speaker, said it was important to
remember those people who put their lives on the line every
day.
The Marine Corps League was repre-sented by Les Leamons, Joe
Vodenichar
and Chat Brewster. David Bailey, pastor of Crossroads Community
Church, read from the fourth chapter of Jeremiah. Also referencing
scriptures from the New Testament, Bailey encouraged those in
attendance to nurture forgiveness and love rather than retribution
and hate.
After the service, Stokesdale resident Doug Mack talked about
being in phila-delphia on Sept. 11, 2001. He was working that day
and aware of what had trans-pired, but he didnt get a chance to
look at a news account of the attack until that evening. I was
numb, he remembers. I drove home the next day to North Caro-lina.
There were no airplanes in the sky.
Donna McCall, Stokesdales deputy town clerk, didnt have any
family mem-bers or close friends directly affected by the terrorist
attacks. Still, when she learned of the attacks she says she felt
like she had been physically accosted, and that everything had been
taken away from her. I did not recover from that for some bit of
time.
After 9/11, McCall said she just
wanted to see all of her loved ones and know that they were OK.
I literally lost all the security in my life as an American, she
says. We were all so vulnerable.
Of the lingering effects, McCall said after the attacks she
started taking her life more seriously. It forever changes the way
I look at things. The respect for our service members; our firemen;
our police officers; and in general, life itself. That flowers grow
and seasons change.
The effects of 9/11 linger in another way for McCall. Yesterday
I heard a really loud noise, she said after the remembrance
service. Is it a plane? Are we being attacked? It still flashes
back.
McCalls son, Travis Lovern, is a firefighter in Kernersville.
Another son, Jason, was at one time a volunteer fire-fighter in
Stokesdale.
The ceremony on Sept. 7 made her proud to think there are people
who still remember and are not afraid to stand up and show their
belief in their country, she said. For the population of
Stokesdale, this was very good.

as reported by PATTI STOKES
OAK RIDGE town council
Mayor Ray Combs called the meeting to order at 7 p.m. Mayor Pro
Tem Roger Howerton said his granddaughter and great-grandchild had
been involved in an accident earlier that morning in front of Oak
Ridge elementary School, and he was thankful they were okay; he
then led everyone in a moment of silence.
Minutes from the Aug. 1 meeting and closed session were
approved.
AnnounCEMEnTsOn behalf of the Oak Ridge Lions
Club, Jim Kinneman invited community members to participate in
the organi-zations golf tournament on Sept. 7 at Dawn Acres.
ToWn MAnAGER REPoRTTown Manager Bruce Oakley re-
quested phyllis Anders and paul Greiwe be approved as alternates
and Madeline Magby as youth representative on the parks &
Recreation Commission, and patti paslaru as alternate on the
plan-ning & Zoning Board. All four volunteers were unanimously
approved.
4 0 Council also approved Oakleys request to unseal minutes from
closed executive sessions prior to Decem-ber 2011.
4 0 Additionally, Council unanimously approved renewing the
towns annual contribution of $5,000 for the USGS monitoring well on
Town Hall property (the $5,000 will come from next years budget). A
graph was presented to council which shows the ups and downs of
water levels in the last several years (despite all the rain this
summer, the wa-ter table is lower than it was at the same time in
the three previous years).
PuBliC HEARinGsPedestrian Transportation Plan. Jesse Day with
pTRCOG (piedmont Triad Re-gional Council of Governments) present-ed
a draft comprehension transportation
plan. NCDOT is still reviewing the plan.
On a background note, Day said the plan is long-range and
comprehensive (about 20 years out). He stressed that it provides a
vision for the future and is not regulatory or binding, nor is it
fiscally constraining.
A key goal of the plan is to provide paths for citizens to
safely walk between homes, schools, businesses and parks and
connect with regional greenways and trails.
One of the plans short-term goals is to connect the school to
the town park and town core and acquire easements for walkways and
trails. providing a way for 20 percent of children who live near
the elementary school to be able to walk to the school is also a
goal of the plan.
The town core is well-suited for walk-ing between destinations
(school and town park, for example), but Highway 150 and N.C. 68
are barriers that must be crossed, Day pointed out. The piedmont
Greenway and Haw River Trail present regional trail connection
options.
With the completion of I-73 in the future and the resulting
reduction in truck traffic through the town, Day said Oak Ridge
will have an opportunity to re-look at the N.C. 150 and 68
intersection and consider making it more of a gateway into the
town.
Day presented a list of the pedestrian Steering Committees Top
10 recom-mended projects, which he said were re-inforced by public
feedback. The majority of the projects would focus on areas along
N.C. 150 and Linville Road, including the intersection at the
elementary school.
Proponents Jim Kinneman said making the town
more walkable has been near and dear to my heart since I moved
here, and the connectivity and walkability of a town defi-nitely
increased the sense of community.
Randy Schmitz said increasing physi-cal activities for all
citizens was impor-

tant, and implementing the pedestrian plan would help toward
that effort.
CounCil disCussion Howerton said he would not stand in
the way of the plan, but was hesitant to see it take a higher
priority than a water system, which he had been working on for
years. When it comes to the tax-ing of the citizens of Oak Ridge, I
had much rather see our tax revenues used for municipal water than
a sidewalk, the councilman said. Now, I backed the sidewalk from
the school, the section that is incomplete. But I have a little bit
of a problem seeing Oak Ridge turned into a Greensboro.
Howerton added he could visualize some of the sidewalks
suggested in the plan, especially those in the town core, but
struggled to visualize others. I would personally like to see
Oak
Ridge stay Oak Ridgey, if we can do that, said Councilman Danny
Yanusz. The I-73 connector could have a differ-ent impact than what
we foresee we live in a society that has become increas-ingly
unhealthy and if there are ways we can encourage people to get
moving, we should do that. Councilman George McClellan said
he noticed several kids walking from the shopping center toward
the swim club a few days earlier, and he supported the pedestrian
plan because it was about public safety. Mayor Combs explained that
council
couldnt vote on the plan because DOT had not signed off on it
yet, then em-phasized that even if/when council did vote to approve
the plan (which would likely be in October), it was simply an
endorsement and nothing else.
Text Amendment 4 0 In order to comply with a recently approved
state law, Council ap-proved a text amendment to the towns
ordinance which pertained to the Board of Adjustment.
CoMMuniTY uPdATEsParks & Recreation. Chairman Bill ed-wards
reminded everyone of upcoming
events in the park. On Sept. 14 there will be another Music in
the park event from 6 to 8:30 p.m. at Shelter 2. A community yard
sale is planned for later this fall. Historic Preservation. Debbie
Schoenfeld said the commission recently approved two COAs for the
O.R. Foundation. His-toric marker dedication ceremonies are being
planned. Mack McAtee is working on an artifacts display case at
Town Hall that will have ever-changing exhibits. The commission is
seeking alternates. Planning & Zoning. Chairman Doug Nodine
reported the board had recom-mended approval of patti paslaru as an
alternate, and approved a site plan for an addition to Holt Hall at
Oak Ridge Military Academy and a text amendment to the towns
ordinance. Fire Department. Assistant Chief Sam Anders reported
that Chief Steve Sim-mons is doing better after back surgery and
transitioning back to work.
FinAnCE REPoRT Sam Anders reported $2.235 million
in liquid assets and receipts of $266,875 in property tax
revenue in August.
4 0 Council voted to add Wells Fargo to the list of depository
banks because of the banks favorable interest rates on money market
type accounts.
CoMMEnTs Melissa Stallings, pTO president of
Oak Ridge elementary, Nancy Gold-finch, a parent, and Denise
Francisco, principal of the school, all spoke about traffic backups
on Linville Road and Highway 150 from the morning car rider line,
and asked for the towns support in resolving the situation.
All four council members present ex-pressed their support to the
school, and Mayor Combs assured Francisco that the town manager
would call her the follow-ing morning to discuss the situation and
how the town might be able to help. For more on this conversation,
see article on page 1.
After a brief closed session, council adjourned the meeting at
8:52 p.m.

KPs KEllYs PET sERViCEsKelly Grau, ownerA little background: I
have been pet sitting for friends for several years, but just
started KpS a couple months ago. Describe your pri-
mary service: We provide basic pet sitting visits, dog walking,
pet transportation, administering medications, newspaper retrieval,
plant watering and more. We will customize for each individual, and
no type of animal is off limits! Is there anything unique about
your business? I lost my last pet back in Febru-ary and have not
gotten any since. So your pets will truly be treated like they are
my own they are filling the void for me!
Business philosophy: each pet has their own personality, and I
love to adapt and
figure out what each individual pet needs/likes. We dont just go
in, say Hi, pick up a toy to play a little, feed them and leave. We
really like to concentrate on making them happy their way while
their people are away. On a personal note: I moved here almost 20
years ago from pa., met my partner, whom Ive been with for 12
years, have no children, and have had many animals (naturally!). I
even kept an injured pos-sum once until it was better, much to my
parents dismay.
I am a sports girl NFL, NHL and MLB. During football season, I
will watch every game, no matter who is playing.
Interesting/fun facts: I grew up near pittsburgh, so I love the
Steelers, pen-guins and pirates. I get back there for at least one
Steelers game per season. My boyfriend (and business partner, whom
I mentioned earlier) has been in the Army for almost 30 years and
is a Sergeant Major. We both love to work out and I am also a
fitness instructor on the side.

noRTHERn GuilFoRd niGHTHAWKs (3A, 2-0) vs. Williams Bulldogs
(3A, 2-1)
Friday, Sept. 13, 7:30 p.m. AT NORTHERNSeries history | Northern
leads 4-0, winning 35-7 last year in Burlington. The Nighthawks
have outscored the Bull-dogs, 203-35, in the four meetings.
Meaningful stats | Sophomore C.J. Freeman rushed for 219 yards
on 21 carries in last Fridays 33-7 win over Northwest Guilford.
Freeman carried for more than 1,500 yards as a freshman a year ago
on the junior varsity team. The Bulldogs have only lost to 4A
Southern Alamance, 36-33, in their season opener and are averaging
38.3 points per game on offense, with 345 yards per game on the
ground.
Looking back | Were giving up a few more yards than we have the
last couple of years, first-year Nighthawks Head Coach Brian Thomas
said. But we have passed for more than 100 yards in our first two
games. Thomas said the turning point in last Fridays win was
stopping the Vikings on fourth down at midfield with his team
nursing a 13-7 lead in the second half.
Looking ahead | We lost some good players from last year, Thomas
said. But were getting better every week. Williams will be
explosive, the coach added, saying he expects the Bulldogs,
who run the option, to run and throw the football.
The Bulldogs fumbled three times in their first two games of the
season and four times in their last game. If this trend continues
it could well lead to a lopsided victory for Northern. Northern has
thrown the ball effectively and this will likely cause problems for
Williams as they have not faced an effective passing game yet this
season. Northern can also pound the ball right up the middle. The
new faces on the O-Line of the Night-hawks have become a cohesive
and effective unit.
Our prediction | An early lead by Northern should not be
interpreted as a predictor for the game. The Bulldogs have been
behind by as much as 14 points and won the game. With that said,
the Nighthawks should continue their winning ways this Friday.
How big is this game for the Night-hawks? Anybody in the
conference is a big game for us, Thomas said. The Nighthawks will
be looking for their 32nd consecutive win Friday night. (The state
record is 74, set by Hickory Ridge-view from 1957-1965.)
noRTHWEsT GuilFoRd ViKinGs (4A, 2-1) vs. Reidsville Rams (2A,
3-0)
Friday, Sept. 13, 7:30 p.m. AT REIDSVILLESeries history | The
two teams, while ri-vals in the 70s and 80s, have not played in
more than a decade. More recently, they have met in scrimmages.
Meaningful stats | The Vikings, led by Keenan Scotts 259 yards,
have rushed for more than 230 yards in each of their first three
games, including 254 last Fri-day night against powerhouse
Northern
Guilford. Reidsville, which went 11-3 last year, has outscored
their first three op-ponents by a combined score of 102-14. The
Rams have won more state cham-pionships than any other North
Carolina high school, recording 15 since 1930.

GRINS to... Randy, the AT&T technician, for com-
ing out and fixing my phone and internet after not having it for
a week and being told by AT&T that it was going to be Sept. 9
before they could get to me!
Mike for his kindness in helping us take our beloved German
shepherd, philo, to the veterinary hospital after be-ing hit by a
car. I will never forget what you did for us that day. God bless
you.
The (new, interim) town planner in Summerfield. The past month
youve done more for us on getting our land surveyed then the
previous lady did in six months!
Our new neighbors in Henson Forest for welcoming our family so
nicely when we moved three weeks ago. Thanks for the introductions,
fresh bread, gift bas-kets, and Godinos cake balls!
Sen. Berger for telling the truth about the education unions and
establishment. America should pay its educators what theyre worth!
Therefore, we should immediately re-align their salaries so as to
make them the 27th-best-paid in the world.
Northwest field hockey team for hav-ing an excellent car wash
and doing a great job on my car! Go Vikings!
Joe and his crew at Arbor Masters for
coming straight to our house when their work day was already
over and taking care of the 15 trees we had down, some blocking our
driveway. What a caring and quick response!
George Holub for volunteering over an entire year so that we
could have the beautiful Summerfield Community park, and to Nancy
Holub for sharing George with us. RIp George. We will cherish the
memories. prayers to Nancy and the family.

Local residents, businesses, and the Northwest Observer for

everyone who helped with the first Music In The park event in
the Oak Ridge Community park on Sept. 7. It was most enjoyable and
a big success! Thank you to the Town of Oak Ridge for this
wonderful event!
GRINS and GRIPES Joe Woodruff said the Vikings played a great
first half in their 33-7 loss to Northern Guilford. Woodruff said
there would be no finger-pointing for his teams loss, placing the
blame on the offense, the defense, the special teams, and the
coaching staff. The Vikings committed three turnovers and turned
the ball over on downs in the second half after going into halftime
7-7 with the Nighthawks.
Looking ahead | Woodruff said Reids-ville is very athletic; very
fast; a talented team. Woodruff called Reidsville Coach James
Teague a Hall of Fame coach.
I want to see our kids respond, Wood-ruff said. On defense, I
want to see us moving to the ball, lining up right, and playing
fast. On offense, Woodruff said he wants to see what we did in that
first half (vs. Northern Guilford) against Reidsville for four
quarters. We want to throw the ball when we want to, not because we
have to.
We predict | This will be a tough game for the Vikings, and the
Rams will show them no mercy on turnovers or defensive weakness. To
win this one, the Vikings will have to play flawlessly.

parents who teach their kids that rules

Oak Ridge el-ementary) and walk their kids into school in the

people who continue to speed up

driving. This could have been a family with children. Slow down and
pay attention! The NCDOT. While the new turning
lanes at the intersection of Alcorn and N.C. 68 were needed,
surely the intersec-tion could have been designed so that it is not
necessary to zigzag through it in order to go straight. The person
who hit my beloved German
shepherd on Highway 158 in Stokesdale on Aug. 11 and did not
bother to stop. He accidentally got out of our yard. He was a
beautiful and gentle family member. The person who stole the money

the evening of Sept. 8, while we were trying to eat. They should
know better and so should you.
To myself (patti Stokes, Northwest Ob-server editor), for
publishing a Gripe about a business without contacting the business
owner first to get their side. I ignored my own rule of fairness
and apologize to Mike Dixon, owner of Superior Wash. Editors Note:
In our Aug. 30 issue we published a Gripe about Superior Wash after
verifying that the homeowner had filed a complaint with BBB, saying
the company had damaged their deck. How-ever, Mike Dixon denies
that the damage to the homeowners deck occurred when he power
washed their house in March (he says he did not power wash their
deck, but another company had applied a deck sealant to it one
month earlier, in February, and that the sealant was still sticky
because of the cool, rainy weather). We dont know for certain who
is right or wrong in this case, only that both parties involved are
disputing who is responsible for the deck damage.
MisCEllAnEousSept. 4 | An employee of pine Needle LNG on Haw
River Road in Oak Ridge reported a known suspect dumped tree debris
and brush on the business prop-erty. The suspect was identified and
he removed the debris from the property. Sept. 5 | Capt. phil Byrd
of District 1 Sheriffs Office reported a motor vehicle accident
involving his patrol vehicle. The
accident occurred at the intersection of pleasant Ridge Road and
Old Oak Ridge Road and resulted in property damage to three
vehicles and minor personal injury to one of the other drivers.
Sept. 7 | A Marlin .22 caliber rifle and 50 rounds of .22
caliber ammunition were seized from a known individual in north-ern
Summerfield pursuant to a Domestic Violence protection Order.

LETTERS/OPINIONS
I support the school staff I just sat through the September
Oak
Ridge Town Council meeting. During the citizens comments I was
appalled as I heard concerned parents and a school ad-ministrator
describe some parents behav-ior with regard to the Oak Ridge
elemen-tary morning car line and child drop-off.
I will not get into details, but when I hear that a number of
parents feel the need to verbally abuse individuals whose primary
motive is to ensure the safety of our children along with blatantly
ignoring what is asked of them and all parents, it makes me cringe.
Although my child rides
the school bus and I have not seen the car line in action, the
rules they have seem reasonable and in place to protect all our
children.
Beyond the inexcusable aspect of disrespecting school staff for
simply doing their jobs and trying to keep our children safe, what
sort of message does this pa-rental behavior send to our children:
The rules apply to everyone but me? If you are inconvenienced its
okay, but I am too important to be inconvenienced?
As we know, our children see every-thing we do and will model
their behavior based upon what they observe. Oak Ridge, we are
better than this. The simple fact that our school staff has had to
spend so much energy on this can only take away from their ability
to most effectively edu-cate and enrich the lives of our
children.
I write this as a concerned parent who supports our schools
staff and wants to see more thoughtful parental behaviors.
Randy Schmitz, OAK RIDGe
With love, from your dogsThis is a hard letter for us to
write.
Its really hard because laptop keyboards arent designed for a
dogs paws espe-cially big dogs. We wanted to tell Linda and Danny
Yanusz how very special you two are. Although you never heard us
call you Mom and Dad you are. We tried to tell you how much we love
you, but it always came out, Bark, bark, woof. So instead, we just
tried to show you how much you meant to us. We are a family and we
learned all about unconditional love because that is what you gave
us every day. We always felt loved, and safe, and happy. We both
hope you felt the love we had for you, too. All those hikes and
family outings were special to us. We are so blessed with all of
the fond memories.
Right now, we are healthy and well. We have lots of friends to
play with. Theres fresh air, green grass, tall moun-tains for
hiking, and warm meadows for
resting. There is plenty to eat and we are well cared for by a
nice old man who says He created us all so we could be a family. He
told us to have fun for now, and wait for you both. He said there
are still things He has planned for you, but well be together again
and when we are it will be forever. We like thinking about that. We
are never far apart because you are always near our hearts.
Just so you know, theres a Rainbow Bridge nearby. Well meet you
there.
All our love, Kasey and Kaiser Former canine residents of OAK
RIDGe
Editors Note: The above letter was written by a friend of Oak
Ridge residents Danny and Linda Yanusz, on behalf of their beloved
Greater Swiss Mountain dogs, Kasey and Kaiser, who were often seen
at community events, in the town park, in pa-rades, and on the
trails of N.C. Kaiser died on April 11 and Kasey died on Sept.
5.
