History, etc., on Mt Vernon Springs is most easily attained thru the library. Pittsboro and Goldston both have excellent reference sections, and the librarians are well informed.

Subject: DSL
I live in a very rural area in Chatham and was very surprised when DSL became available to me about a year ago. I was even more surprised when I found out (through the grapevine) the reason it became available, when most of my neighbors couldn't get it. I'm not 100% sure that this is accurate information I am confident my source was reliable. Embarq was still Sprint at that time and the Sprint supervisor for my area lived about 1mile east of my location. I was told that he wanted high-speed internet at his home so Sprint ran a line down Hwy 64 from Siler City and put in the equipment so he could have DSL. That's why I was able to get DSL.

Subject: Veterinarians that help in Chatham County
I'd like to add to the discussion on vets that help with stray animals in Chatham County. During the fours years that I have volunteered with Chatham Animal Rescue and Education (CARE), we have received many tens of thousands of dollars worth of discounted veterinary care for our foster animals from several Chatham County vets, as well as much free advice and moral support. Vets are well aware of the county's pet overpopulation problem and many do what they can to help. Like anyone running a business however, there is only so much that they can do in terms of reduced cost or free care.
For folks dealing with animals that need to be spayed or neutered, there are several reduced-cost and low-cost options in Chatham County. Reduced-cost mobile clinics (POP; www.pop-nc.com, 919-942-2250 and SNAP; www.snap-nc.org, 919-783-7627) are able to offer spay/neuter surgery at a reduced cost compared to a full- service veterinary hospital because that is all they do. Full- service vets must cover the costs of a building, staff, laboratory, pharmacy, dental and x-ray equipment, etc.
For folks with lower incomes, CARE's spay/neuter clinics are being held again in 2007. The March 17 clinic is full; to apply for future clinics call 542-5757, leave your mailing address, and ask to be sent an application ($40,000 annual household income limit). Also check the Chatlist and local media for announcements of future clinics.
SNAP has a low-income program (919-783-7627), and the county animal shelter sometimes has state funds for low-income assistance as well ($30,000 annual household income limit).
For feral cats, contact Operation Catnip (www.operationcatnip.org, 919-779-7247). This monthly spay/neuter clinic at the NCSU vet school is free, although donations are welcome. All cats must come in traps, which they have available for loan.
It is the role of Animal Control to take the lead in providing education and options for curbing the county's pet overpopulation problem and they have made some progress in this area. For example, most cats adopted from the shelter are now spayed or neutered prior to adoption. They are also able to provide a small number of free spay/neuter surgeries to low-income pet owners through the I CARE program that is funded by the state's specialty license plate. As with many things, money stands in the way of more action. Funds requested last year by Animal Control from the county for a spay/ neuter program were not approved.
The ultimate responsibility, though, is with the pet owner. If you have a pet, have it spayed or neutered. Not only will this reduce overpopulation, it will also improved the animal's health and behavior.

Subject: when one chooses to live in a rural area
Hi Dwain,
I live near the 4 wheelers as well.
In my opinion, when one chooses to live in a rural area, one chooses to live with animal smells, hunters, and whatever noise your neighbors choose to make. If that is not to your liking perhaps you should move to a more regulated area where people are not free do as they choose on their own property that they have owned for generations.
Be grateful they don't have lights for night riding.
Just my opinion.

Subject: Four Wheeler Noise
I live about 7 miles west of Pittsboro just off Hwy. 64. The quality of life out here has been great until this last year. My neighbors have young sons who they've given 4 wheelers and the weekends have become very noisy. I have complained and even called the Chatham Sheriffs department to see if anything could be done. The deputy I talked to said he knew the people who are my neighbors and would talk to them. I had spent 3 days listening to the roaring engines. After the call the neighbors have taken off the mufflers and added straight pipes and this has amplified the noise. And now they make a point to ride down the Hwy right-of-way to my driveway which is very loud. I can't turn up the tv loud enough to drown it out.
Does anyone know if there is a way legally to deal with this noise nuisance? It's like living next to a dragstrip every weekend. Obviously, if they stay on their property I don't think much can be done. They don't care if they bother the neighbors. They've even built ramps you can see from the road that they use for jumping.

This is in response to Lisa Dahlquist's query about a vet in Cary who works with strays. I don't know if this is the vet the other poster had in mind, but these folks have hearts of gold and saved my daughter's rescued dog from heartworm:
PetSound Animal Hospital 851-4114
305-C Asheville Ave. Cary
They're located in a little strip mall behind Carlos O'Kelly's on Tryon Rd. They also have a website and are connected with numerous rescue groups:

Be sure to tell them that the cats are strays. Good luck!

My daughter and I just returned from a long weekend in California.
We rented a car and drove along litter-less highways.
Perhaps it was all so clean because of the frequently posted signs that stated a $1000.00 fine for littering.
We have very few signs in North Carolina and our fine for littering is only $100.00.

Subject: RE: Embarq DSL
Janis, thank you for posting the information you received from Embarq. I had a feeling we were just getting the run-around or getting a dangling "carrot" to keep us from switching to an air card or satellite.
I do realize that providing dsl to rural areas would not be a huge money-maker for Embarq and I realize the importance of the bottom line. However, the local office refusing to address the issue or telling half-truths or outright lies about when dsl will be available just doesn't sit very well with me. I would have had a whole lot more respect for Embarq had they told the truth to begin with.
You know, we have some outstanding minds in this part of the country and I've often wondered why someone hasn't come up with a viable solution to this problem. Not only would a reliable, low-cost, high speed internet benefit our rural areas, it would also benefit some isolated areas of the world. It's not as if the benefits (& profits) would end with Chatham County. Is a solution really impossible or just something that would seem to call for more of an investment than the profits would justify?

Spay Day USA Spotlights Plight of Pet Overpopulation and Homelessness
The Humane Society of the United States Sponsors 13th Annual Event
About every eight seconds, a cat or dog is euthanized in a U.S.
animal shelter, according to The Humane Society of the United States.
While some may be euthanized due to illness or injury, most are victims of human failure to provide them with the care they deserve.
Despite the best efforts of shelters everywhere, there are still too many pets and not enough loving, responsible homes. The cost of pet overpopulation is staggering with more than $1 billion per year spent to provide community animal control services and care for homeless animals.
Those sobering statistics are the impetus behind Spay Day USA, an annual event when hundreds of community organizations coast to coast participate in activities that make it easier for people to get their pets spayed or neutered. February 27 is designated as the official Spay Day USA 2007 with more than 400 events scheduled throughout the month. More than 35,000 animals are expected to be spayed or neutered in February alone.
The HSUS is coordinating Spay Day USA, working with local shelters, humane organizations and rescue groups, veterinary clinics, and individual volunteers to offer special spay-neuter events, deploy mobile spay-neuter clinics, raise money to subsidize spay-neuter surgeries, and increase awareness about the importance and benefits of spaying and neutering.
Facts about Cat and Dog Overpopulation
Animal welfare groups have worked for decades to reduce the number of homeless animals. The overall number of animals euthanized every year in animal shelters is down from a peak of an estimated 13.5 million
(22 percent of the owned pet population) in the early 1970s, to an estimated 3-4 million (less than 3 percent of the owned pet
population) today.
Around half of all animals entering shelters are euthanized. If more people spayed or neutered their pets, this sad statistic could be reduced.
A survey of 186 animal shelters showed an average cost of $176 to house and care for every homeless animal while at the shelter.[1] Spaying and neutering are safe, simple surgeries that stop animals from reproducing.
Healthy kittens and puppies weighing as little as two pounds can be safely spayed or neutered.
Spay Day USA
The Doris Day Animal League founded Spay Day USA in 1995 to reduce pet overpopulation. DDAL merged with The HSUS in 2006 to maximize and coordinate operations between the two animal welfare organizations.
Since its inception in 1995, more than one million animals have been spayed or neutered because of Spay Day USA.
Sounds like Pittsboro has got some great vet's - both new and established - so how 'bout it - any takers before spring kitten and puppy season - say the week of March 12th as daylight savings begins?
Pittsboro Vets could post their discounted prices for the week and take appointments. I would be happy to help coordinate and post flyers.

Subject: Emergency animal care and low-cost spay/neuters
Several people have mentioned the after hours emergency clinic in Cary. I have used that clinic on many occasions and found them to be very good, as well as cost-conscious. It's emergency care so you will pay more, but not as much as other emergency clinics in the area. Emergency vets cost more because they have a vet literally sleeping on a cot there on call at all times, and to get vets to do that you have to pay them. This clinic is owned by a consortium of local vets so their patients will have a place to go in emergencies, but it's open to anyone.
Someone posted directions, I should point out from those directions that the clinc is on the right. However MapQuest isn't always the best, from PBO quicker directions (and I've driven there with sick animals so I know the quickest way) are:
64 E into Wake County, turn left onto Jenks Rd (there's a BP station at the
corner)
Jenks Rd goes to NC 55, turn left onto NC 55 Turn right onto High House Road (it's a major intersection with a stoplight and shopping centers on 3 corners) It's a few miles on the left 220 High House road
While no appointments are needed or taken, if you call them before you leave your house (462-8989) they can know you're coming and also give you some advice for the trip (keeping the animal comfortable, etc) and maybe do some preparation.
The main problem with this clinic is they are only open when regular vets are closed. They close when the vets open, and don't keep animals when closed. So if you bring them an emergency case at night, and the animal needs to stay overnight or requires further care, you have to pick it up at 8:30 the next morning to transport to your vet.
regarding low-cost spay/neuters, if your vet won't work with you for strays there is a list of low cost spay resources at:
http://www.animalkind.org/resource.html
I know that www.POP-NC.com comes to PBO on a regular basis and it costs a little over $100 soup to nuts to do a female cat (spay, snap test, rabies, and first round of vaccines), males are a little cheaper because the surgery is easier.

Subject: Outstanding Vets
I have found that Pet Sound Animal Hospital in Cary to be very helpful with strays and Dr. Monce is an outstanding Vet Internist with extensive training. He handles the really tough cases but never at the expense of the animal rescuer. He charges far less than the Vet Specialty Hospital for such cases and has a rescue group affiliated with his practice. He also does emergencies - 851-4114.
Town and Country Animal Hospital in Apex is another outstanding practice with a great staff, emergency care and a heart for strays.
Dr. NIck Ashford - 363-6363.
It should also be mentioned, that Dr. Bonnie Terrell at HIllcreek in PBO has done more than her fair share of helping rescue groups and reforming the County Animal Shelter. I get the same impression of Dr. Laurie Weiser of PBO animal hospital who in new to the area and if she is doing emergencies, that would be a big help.
Note also that Pittsboro Discount Drug near Food Lion have often helped me locate and purchase animal medications at very good prices.
Those guys really care about animals and people - 542-7283.
Finally, The Piedmont Wildlife Center are real pro's at medical attention for injured wildlife - 572 -WILD (572-9453) and they do not charge but depends on donations.

Subject: Veterinary Services in Chatham County
I just wanted to answer some posts to the chatlist. We are Hope Crossing Animal Hospital. Located in Chatham County between Fearrington and the Pittsboro Courthouse. We offer after hour emergency care (depending on severity). Dr. Webster is available at the numbers listed below for any and all questions/problems.
We will also help with strays and feral feline colonies. If you can catch them, we can spay/neuter them, and at least give a rabies vaccine to them. If you have a bunch of strays, we know that it can be cost prohibitive to have them all taken care of. The pocketbook only stretches just so far, right?
In those cases, we typically charge half the normal amount for the spay/neuter. We also offer discounted rabies shots. (BY THE WAY! CURRENTLY WE ARE PARTICIPATING IN THE RABIES CLINIC, SO UNTIL FRIDAY RABIES SHOTS ARE $5!!) We extend these prices to rescue groups (shelters, CARE, etc) to try and help the community at large. We would certainly not insist that any one change their veterinarian of choice simply because we are in Chatham County. However, we would just like to let folks know we ARE here in Chatham.
If we can help you with any of the above, please do not hesitate to call us.
Sincerely-
Amy

Subject: Metal Detectors to be placed at Perry Harrison?
From http://chatham-county-nc.com/bulletinboard/index.php/topic,2259.0.html
For the second time in as many years, a student has brought a knife to school and threatened another child...both of these incidents took place in the middle school at Perry Harrison.
Both times, the students involved got minimal suspensions and were allowed to return to school.
I believe there is a statute that requires students found with any weapon on campus were to be suspended for 365 days?
Does anyone know the details of this statute? I guess there can be circumstances I am unaware of but I do recall a student at Northwood accidental left a hunting knife in his car from a weekend camping trip, it was seen by the SRO (in his car) and HE got suspended for 365 days. So, is it a case rules not fitting all crimes? or individual rules for different students? A weapon on campus is a weapon on campus...and when there is a threat involved, then that student doesn't need to be with the general population, imp.
******
Please refer to the Chatham County Schools website, look under board policies and then policy number 8480. The 365 day suspension mentioned can be modified by the superintendent as outlined in that policy code. The statutes referred to in that policy code merely define a weapon and the violation, either a misdemeanor or a felony.
******
So then the student is charged, one way or the other?
If they are charged with a felony, are they allowed to stay in school?
What are the victims rights and where is the policy that protects them from bullies who bring weapons to school?
Ten day suspension for bringing a knife on campus, accompanied by a threat against a 12 year old? What message does that send the rest of the student body?
******
I've heard (through the grapevine) that there has been another incident at Perry Harrison involving a student bringing a knife to the recent middle school dance. I wonder if this student will also receive a minor suspension? How are parents notified, how are teachers warned of this potential danger? I can't understand why bringing a knife to school or a school event does not warrant a more serious response. It concerns me that my son may be at school with students who pose a real risk, yet I wouldn't know about this except for other parents. Where is the school to parent communication?
******
Heard about the incident at last Friday's Perry Harrison Middle School dance with the knife yielding thug at dinner this evening.
If what I hear is true than a mere ten-day suspension is unacceptable.
What if the kid with the knife had actually stabbed the other student? What then? What questions would we be asking? Why did this happen? How could we have prevented this? Wasn't anyone aware of what was going on? What kind of school are we running when a student can bring a knife school and threaten another?
What would the school's response to the parents of the injured student be? We're sorry, we didn't see this coming. We're sorry, we did everything in or power to prevent this. We're sorry that is the way society is these days.
Solutions will be offered including the possibility of putting in metal detectors? searches by security guards? School counselors would be assigned to assist with the grief?
Rather then let this kind of thing get to that stage and be reactive, wouldn't it be easier to be proactive at this point and mead out the appropriate level of punishment?
10 days? That's a two week vacation.
Would something longer be way too severe? I don't really think so!
******
Please direct these questions to the school board/superintendent.
543-3626 is the county office number
I have....and gotten very little response.
A knife is not a mandatory 365, only guns and explosive devices. A knife or other weapon carries the punishment deemed fit by the SUPERINTENDENT. She supercedes the Principal on this one.

Subject: hi speed in Fearrington
Hello -
I'm trying to get hi-speed internet for my mother in Fearrington and am coming up against dead ends. Her phone service is with Bell South, but they say her area isn't eligible for DSL. Do any of you Fearringtonians have any ideas?
thanks,
Lynn Hayes
