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.

Let 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Endorsing 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.

The 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.

Campaign 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.

Why I'm voting for Starkweather[Apr. 28, 2008] I've known Jeffrey Starkweather since the 1970's, when he purchased the Pittsboro Herald and turned it into an award-winning newspaper.

Electing or hiring on the basis of religion, race, gender and age[Apr. 28, 2008] When it comes to hiring people for jobs, there have been several long struggles by women's suffrage and civil rights movements to attain equality in this country whereby no one is discriminated in seeking employment on the basis of their religion, their gender, their race or their age. And these long struggles continue today across Chatham County and America.
