Is the PTA Thrift Shop being ripped off?
[Jun. 21, 2008] I was dropping off some things this weekend at the new PTA Thrift Shop in PBO, and was there before the store was open. So I went over to the drop box in the parking lot, and started unloading. There was an older woman sitting in a car near the drop box, and as I approached she said “I’ll take that.” By Bill Prentice
 
Swimming pool would serve Chatham residentsSwimming pool would serve Chatham residents
[Jun. 21, 2008] The idea of a pool in Pittsboro which could serve Chatham county is of great interest to me. It could benefit those who need exercise - children, adults, retirees, alike - and provide a way to cool off on hot summer days. The YMCA working with county government and maybe even the community college could be a great way to pool resources for a much needed improvement to our area. (Pardon the pun). By Joy Hewett
 
Gratitude
[Jun. 15, 2008] I just did this with a friend and recommend it to all. My friend and I told each other what we were thankful for. It got pretty philosophical at times (maybe it was the heat), but was a worthwhile exercise and helped put into perspective many community issues. By Dan Cahoon
 
Let Us Be! One last thought about MickyD’sLet Us Be! One last thought about MickyD’s
[Jun. 13, 2008] If we let the Golden Arches into Pittsboro, what will come in next — a salad bar? Who speaks against the exploitation, intimidation, and outright slaughter of millions of creatures of color – the color green – the color orange – the color purple — the color yellow? I do. By Forrest Greenslade
 
Is a new sign ordinance needed?
[Jun. 9, 2008] While I am sure that most Chatham people are as annoyed as I am with calls made with automatic dialers, bombardments with TV ads and signs on the corners, we must still be thankful that we still have our political process in tact in Chatham County, whereas several locations in the country in the last two presidential elections obviously did not. By Al Wyllie
 
New Siler City restaurant
[Jun. 7, 2008] Siler City has a new alternative to hamburgers and fries! I visited Mina Bean'a for lunch and loved it. I had the Mina Bean'a chef salad. It had lots of ham and chicken on a bed of mixed greens. By Susan Campeau
 
Violating the Pittsboro sign ordinance
[Jun. 6, 2008] I personally like the big flag signs for Powell Place on 15-501. I see them as a "sign" of an expanding economy north of Pittsboro on Hwy 15-501 at US 64 bypass, but I think they violate the Town's sign ordinance. By Bill Willcox
 
Too many kids at Northwood
[Jun. 6, 2008] With the only the old figures to go by I would urge you to find any alternative to sending your kids to Northwood. It is simply too crowded and they will not get what they need in a Precalc class of 32 or a Spanish class of 30+. It's not going to get any better. By Meg Miller
 
Remember this rally?Remember this rally?
[Apr. 29, 2008] In the January 28, 2004 issue of the Independent Weekly there was an article "Chathamites rally to be heard" written by Jennifer Strom. Here are several paragraphs from the story. By Peter Theye
 
Sign shenanigans?Sign shenanigans?
[Apr. 29, 2008] Every election cycle some overzealous supporters of all candidates steal or vandalize signs. It is unfortunate but it happens to everyone, from supporters of everyone. By Mike Fox
 
Protecting our environment
[Apr. 29, 2008] Congratulations to the County staff that have done such a great job with the Erosion and Sedimentation Control program. Congratulations to the current County Board of Commissioners for joining Patrick Barnes and Mike Cross in unanimously supporting this effort important program. By Larry Hicks
 
Endorsing Jeffrey StarkweatherEndorsing Jeffrey Starkweather
[Apr. 29, 2008] Strong leadership is needed to manage Chatham County’s unprecedented growth and infrastructure challenges. We think that Jeffrey Starkweather is exceptionally well-qualified to build on our county’s strengths, and help plan for a better future. By Mark & Carol Hewitt
 
The ruling conspiracyThe ruling conspiracy
[Apr. 29, 2008] I understand and respect differences of opinion. If you like a candidate after hearing all the pros and cons, I won't waste either yours or my time trying to convince you otherwise. However, some of you are being either disingenuous, or even intellectually dishonest. By Mark Barroso
 
Please vote for Page Vernon for judgePlease vote for Page Vernon for judge
[Apr. 29, 2008] Election time is here and I'd like you all to consider voting for Page Vernon for District Court Judge. Page is the only Chatham County resident on the ballot and has been working and living in this community for 26 years. By Tami Schwerin
 
Campaign signs removedCampaign signs removed
[Apr. 28, 2008] Someone has removed the signs at the top of our drive supporting Sally Kost and Jeffrey Starkweather. And, as I headed into Chapel Hill on Friday, I noticed that all of the Starkweather and Kost signs had been removed from my home on Chicken Bridge Road all the way to the county line. By Diane Pettus
