Don't hate "the Pig"[Oct. 29, 2007] Just what is everyone's problem? If most of the chatlists are not political, then new things in and around Pittsboro are being stomped on. We were not promised a rose garden anywhere or anytime in our lives. Why can't people who do not like something new happening in and around Pittsboro, just stay in their homes and shop on the internet, or either move and build yourselves a place where you can build it like you want it, shop where you want to, have conversations with who you want to and where you want to?

Pigs and hoodlums. Oh my![Oct. 29, 2007] Oh my... I am astounded at the reactions to the "Pig" now residing in the shopping center from our beloved "open minded, kind and compassionate" neighbors. It's amazing that the reactions have been so vitriolic.

Questions about the Land Transfer Tax[Oct. 16, 2007] The following questions should be easy to answer but I have not been able to find the answers on line or in the newspaper articles I have read. I ask them as one who is inclined to favor the tax, though I expect that it will subject me to an additional tax burden.

A little braggin' on our locally owned grocery store[Oct. 15, 2007] Since May of 2006 this little business has pumped almost half a million dollars into our community. By purchasing 25% of its meats, produce, and goods from local farmers and businesses, Chatham Marketplace has re-invested $457,000 here in the Piedmont.

Open government in Chatham County?[Oct. 10, 2007] The September 19 issue of the Chapel Hill News, to my surprise, published a lead editorial criticizing Chatham County’s problem with open government. The lead sentence is: ”For reasons we cannot fathom, Chatham County seems to have an inordinately hard time fully embracing the concept of open government.”

Library Fantasticus[Oct. 4, 2007] Last night’s benefit for the Abundance Foundation and the New Chatham County Library headquarters was great fun, informative and exciting. It was so good to talk to all those folks that are working so hard to make this incredible effort happen. The plans look terrific, especially the potential waste water treatment plan.

Let’s reclaim our natural areas, both the lake and the rivers[Sep. 24, 2007] A few years ago, my husband and i were taking our dogs for a walk on the Haw River Canoe trail on 64. I noticed a man waiting in his truck when we arrived. When we returned to the lot, this same man abruptly disengaged contact with another man in the thin stand of trees river’s edge in front of the lot. The two separated and the man who we had first seen when we arrived attempted to play off the awkwardness by engaging us in conversation, while the other man walked behind us to get to his truck.

River walking[Sep. 24, 2007] The crisp September air makes me think of walks along rivers and trails in times past. It is a great time to get out and experience some of the beauty of our world. Chatham county boasts many gorgeous, accessible and family safe sites for walking, viewing wildlife and general enjoying nature in all it's glory.

Pittsboro needs to conserve water[Sep. 17, 2007] The News and Observer newspaper lists Pittsboro as one of the only municipalities in the region not requiring mandatory water conservation use in the midst of what is now an extreme drought.

Where are the relatively progressive individuals[Sep. 17, 2007] Up until the last couple Chatlists I've received, I'd considered Pittsboro to be a town populated with relatively progressive individuals. Imagine my surprise to find posts in two, successive Chatlists with, far worse than homophobic overtones, outright and blatant anti-homosexual content.

Stick with established rec areas at Jordan Lake[Sep. 17, 2007] If one wants to come out to Jordan Lake and recreate, I strongly suggest that you visit one of the established recreational areas managed by state parks. These areas are staffed and patrolled by the park rangers. Problems do arise at times , but can be handled by the park rangers who are nearby.

Problems at Jordan Lake[Sep. 17, 2007] I believe the law you’re talking about, indecent exposure can only be reported by someone of the opposite sex, only applies to nudity. If they’re doing more than just being nude, there are probably other laws, without the opposite sex limitation, that apply. I also think the indecent exposure law was changed a few years back so male rangers would be able to take action against males. I don’t remember the details of the change.

No room at Northwood[Aug. 28, 2007] Current situation given, all kids need to attend their assigned schools. And for these inflated prices, what do you get? Overcrowded schools, no parks, limited recreation, no garbage pick up, no water or sewer service, commutes behind construction equipment and lovely strip malls like Chatham Downs and Chatham Crossing.

From one parent to another[Aug. 28, 2007] I deeply empathize with your situation and understand your child’s devastation with being separated from his peer group. I also understand what it is like to live in Siler City, work in Pittsboro, and have one child in school in Siler City and another in Pittsboro. I understand your plight but want to reassure you, all will be well.
