Montessori Preschool planned for Pittsboro[Jan. 26, 2007] A group of Pittsboro families is planning to open the Pittsboro Montessori Preschool in August, 2007. Though we are not able to provide specific cost information at this point, we anticipate that the costs of the program will be competitive with area preschools. Our fundamental goal is to provide a quality preschool at an affordable price for the Pittsboro community.

Energy saving thoughts[Jan. 18, 2007] It's been some time since I made post and I felt the urge to let one rip. I made it no secret I was trying to get my old truck past the 20 mpg point from 14 mpg. I managed to get it up to 19.6 with a 250,000 mile 350 engine. It fell short of what my old GMC did.

The proposed transfer tax increase[Jan. 17, 2007] The property transfer tax on "other people" is a tax on everyone in some way, eventually. It is most definitely a tax on all landowners and want to be landowners in Chatham County. Joy's comment about staying put on their land in Chatham to avoid being subjected to the 1% transfer tax gives me the unhappy grins.

The Terlls will have Shelby back[Jan. 17, 2007] To those of you who have supported Best Buddies and our decision up until now, we very much thank you. This has been an incredibly difficult time for everyone involved. To those of you that have bullied, accused, lied, and personally threatened us, you won.

It would be a real shame if the Terlls and their dog are not reunited[Jan. 16, 2007] I have noticed, following situations here and in Orange County, that situations like the one with Shelby the dog often are proxy battles in an ongoing conflict within the animal rescue community. Judgments are made, authority asserted, lawsuits filed, feelings hurt. I hope this is not happening now, but I have my doubts.

In defense of Best Buddies[Jan. 16, 2007] First of all, I feel for Liza and her family, so I'm not taking the stance that the dog should not be returned, but I do think it is important to understand the side of an organization like Best Buddies Companion Rescue & Adoption.

It disturbs me that Shelby has not been returned[Jan. 16, 2007] Being an animal lover myself, this disturbs me to know that Shelby has not been returned to her rightful owner. In the past three months I have rescued two dogs myself and have to admit that it has been a very difficult choice for me because I want to take every one of those precious animals and bring them home to a loving environment. But that just isn't humanly possible.

Shelby belongs back with my friends[Jan. 15, 2007] I believe I know who the dog "Shelby" was placed with after the Best Buddies Companion Rescue & Adoption got her. They were two of the most loving people you could imagine. Knowing I'm a dog lover, one of them brought pictures of their new pooch to work to show to me and we exchanged "wonderful dog" stories.

Best Buddies Rescue won't return our dog to us[Jan. 14, 2007] Best Buddies Rescue Group in Chatham County refuse to return our dog to my family. Here's is a very brief summary of our story--the whole story takes many twists and turns.

All that is good and bad about Chatham county[Dec. 28, 2006] It seems that the General Store had become the topic of conversation right along with frustration about the growth and changes that are happening in Chatham County. At times I think we represent to folks all that is good and all that is bad in Chatham County and I don't feel that this is fair to the GSC.

Hunting controls deer overpopulation[Dec. 28, 2006] First, I really hate that I have to qualify this, but I do. I am not a hunter. I did hunt a little when I was in my teens, but honestly, I never really got much out of it. The one time I thought I had a deer in my sights, it turned out to be an idiot who thought blaze orange wasn't worthwhile. He nearly got a bullet in the chest. I have not hunted since, but I do enjoy shooting sports.

Abandoning dogs and cats at the Chatham animal shelter[Dec. 28, 2006] For those of you in Chatham County that "drop" or "abandon" your animals at the Chatham Shelter before opening or on days that the shelter is closed, I have a few things to say. If you are a resident of Chatham and cannot keep your companion cat or dog, the shelter is there for you to bring them during operating hours Monday-Friday 12-5 pm. If other arrangements have to be made, I am sure in certain circumstances something could be arranged with the staff.
