NCCo Council honors constituents for their service

Council District 9 - Councilman Timothy Sheldon (D-Pike Creek):
Brookland Terrace Civic Club

When Charles Stirk and William Wheatley took over as officers in the Brookland Terrace Civic Club, community participation began to increase almost immediately, Sheldon said. Attendance at civic meetings was up, a block-watch program was launched and more and more homes began paying their annual dues. They also began cleaning up graffiti in their neighborhood, an effort which has grown to include other neighborhoods and involve juveniles sentenced to community service for vandalism and other property crimes.

Council District 2 - Councilman Robert Weiner (R-Chatham):
Anti-Graffiti Brigade Captains

While many spend their weekends on the couch watching football, a team of volunteers that stretches across the county can be found outside armed with paint and brushes, trying to eradicate unwanted graffiti from the county’s fences and bridges. Captains include: Robert Cameron, Phil Lavelle, R.J. Miles, Isaac Walker, Tom Barbas, Michael Fleming, Charles Stirk, William Wheatley and Mike Ansul.
