Subject: Nia teachers?
Hi there. My name is Tori and I have been reading the list for a few days now. I didn't want to continue to be just a lurker. I am hoping to move to Chatham County in the winter, after I receive my teaching license. My friends will be taking a caravan to the farm tour in a few weeks. And I've convinced my mother to take a road trip (she thinks it's far from Raleigh) tomorrow. So I hope to visit some of the places I've seen you discussing. The Co-op sounds amazing!
My real question however is about Nia. I see Cathy Holt has a yoga studio. Does anyone practice Nia? I saw three Pittsboro teachers listed on the national Nia website. I have not had a space for Nia since leaving Charlottesville, Virginia three years ago.
Thanks for any information. My two cats and I hope to become a neighbor soon.

Subject: Lowes and Food Lion
Using Cary, Apex, Knightdale, Zebulon, Sanford and many other towns as an economic model, the Lowes and Food Lion in downstown Pittsboro will almost certainly go out of business in the next few (couple?) years due to development and population increases on the 64 bypasses (plural) and US1 bypasses (plural). US 70 used to go through downtown Clayton, Smithfield, Goldsboro, Kinston, etc. etc. as well and, to my knowledge, none of these towns have a downtown grocery store anymore as well.

Subject: Carpenter Bees
I agree with the sentiment that Carpenter Bees are extremely important pollinators (especially now!), do not sting, cause no damage, and provide great entertainment. They lived in the siding of our previous house in Raleigh for 50+ years, based on the previous owner's comments, "with no damage but a couple harmless, entertaining holes in the siding"!. This was the previous elderly homeowner's response to our home inspection report before buying. The report said, "Possible Structural Damage: Carpenter Bee Infestation" (a paradigm to be broken). If it does become a sport, badminton rackets sing better upon striking.

Subject: $20 Spay Neuter Surgery for Chatham County Residents
Pittsboro, NC- Chatham Animal Rescue and Education, Inc. (C.A.R.E.) will be conducting registration for the April, May and June Spay/Neuter Clinics on April 14 at the Siler City Wal-Mart from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m .. The clinic is available for Chatham County residents whose household income is $40,000 per year or less. Proof of income and a $20 cash co-pay is required at registration.
For those unable to sign up in person, please call C.A.R.E. at
919-542-5757 for additional information or email C.A.R.E. at www.chathamanimalrescue.org <outbind://26/www.chathamanimalrescue.org> .
Benefits of spaying or neutering go beyond population control. Fixed animals behave better and are healthier, including having reduced risks for many cancers. Also, Animal Control costs can be reduced if we decrease the number of unwanted animals that end up at the shelter. Some of these animals find homes but many are put down.
Be part of the solution. Please spread the word to your Chatham County neighbors, friends and relatives. Help save innocent lives! Get your dog or cat fixed!

Subject: Lost dogs recovered
Hello-
I am Pam Kuder and live on Gum Springs Church Road bordering Stinking Creek and Eagles Ridge. Today two sweet dogs came to visit us. One is a female black dog resembling a Black Lab. The other is a small Chestnut Brown female that appears to be half pit-bull and half boxer. I have caught them up in a Kennel which is outdoors and I am afraid they will be a bit chilly outside all night, but I cannot turn them loose as they have been chasing my chickens. I will not allow them to chase my chickens.

Subject: 100 year old Japanese Zen master, Joshu Sasaki Roshi, coming to Pittsboro to lead week-long retreat
100 year old Japanese Zen master, Joshu Sasaki Roshi, coming to Pittsboro to lead week-long retreat and dedicate the North Carolina Zen Center - April 16 — 22, 2007
The North Carolina Zen Center (NCZC) in Pittsboro, NC is proud to announce that Joshu Sasaki Roshi, founder of the Rinzai-ji organization, will be teaching at a dedicatory dai-sesshin (a week of intensive formal Zen practice in a retreat-type setting) held at the North Carolina Zen Center from April 16 - 22, 2007. Sasaki Roshi is one of the first Japanese Zen masters to come to America to teach. He arrived in America in the early 1960's and has been teaching in this country ever since. He has traveled extensively in the United States from his home at the Rinzai-ji Zen Center in Los Angeles to support the many centers that have been established by him and his monks. When at his training centers at Mount Baldy Zen Center (near Los Angeles) and Bodhi Manda Zen Center (in northern New Mexico), he teaches his monks and lay students in a rigorous monastic training environment. Joshu Sasaki Roshi has mythic status in Zen circles. He is the teacher for whom, in the 1990s, Leonard Cohen famously forsook his calling as a ladies’ man to live a monk’s life at Mount Baldy. The Abbot of the NCZC, Osho Sandy Gentei Stewart, has studied with Sasaki Roshi since 1967.
Considered a dean of Zen teachers in America, due to his seniority and the vitality of his following, Sasaki Roshi is easily among the oldest Zen priests in the world. He maintains a rigorous schedule of retreats and instruction and has founded a nationwide organization of Zen practice centers, of which the NCZC is a part. Joshu Roshi will celebrate his 100th birthday on April 8th in Los Angeles. This occasion in Pittsboro is a very rare opportunity to meet this dynamic spiritual leader.
Those attending the dai-sesshin will take part in a rigorous schedule of sitting and walking meditation, interspersed with interviews with the teacher.. Their days will begin at 3 AM and end at 9 PM.
Dedication of the North Carolina Zen Center, Sunday April 22 At 3 PM on Sunday, April 22, after the official end of the dai-sesshin, Sasaki Roshi will conduct a ceremony of dedication for the new North Carolina Zen Center and will deliver a Teisho (formal lecture.) This ceremony and Teisho will be open to all. It will be a time of celebration especially for those who have been a part of building the center and bringing this vision to fruition. Refreshments will be served, and a small donation of $25 will be asked of those who have not attended the week-long retreat.
The dedication of the Center is the culmination of many years of planning and determination. Sasaki Roshi first came to North Carolina in 1975 to hold a 7 day dai-sesshin at the invitation of Susanna Stewart. It was held in a small zendo (meditation hall) built by Susanna and friends on Susanna’s property. Zen meditation practice continued there for decades under the guidance of Osho Sandy Gentei Stewart after his marriage to Susanna. In 1995 Linda Campany, a long time student of Zen, contributed 15 acres of land to the North Carolina Zen Center. Shortly thereafter construction began on the Brooks Branch Zendo. The meditation hall was completed in 1998, the kitchen building in 2001, the multi-use/dormitory building in 2003 and the shower house in 2005. It has been a long road from the first vision of a residential Zen center in North Carolina to this upcoming full week-long dai-sesshin, and a visit from the venerable Sasaki Roshi.
More information about these events and directions to the NCZC are available at www.nczencenter.org or by calling 919-542-7411.

FEARRINGTON VILLAGE EVENTS MAY 2007

Tuesday May 1st at 7:00pm
McIntyre's Culinary Author Event: Alan Tardi
McIntyre's is delighted to host author Alan Tardi, who, In 2001, was the chef/owner of a Manhattan restaurant, Follonico, where his Italian dishes were embraced both by critics and a loyal following of "foodies".
That summer, he decided to close his restaurant, refocused his priorities and eventually moved to a tiny hilltop village in the Piedmont district of Italy. His new book, Romancing the Vine is the story of Tardi's first year in Italy, when he learned to cultivate the vine that makes the country's most celebrated wine, Barolo, and where he left any big-city slickness behind to immerse himself in a totally different way of life. The book is rich with the lore of one of Italy' s most fascinating regions, and full of detail about the cultivation of grapevines, the harvesting of the nebbiolo grapes that make Barolo, and the fermenting, tasting and bottling of the new wine itself. And, since no restaurateur could live in the Piedmont without prying loose some of its culinary secrets, Tardi studs his book with twenty-five special and authentic recipes from the region. Tardi will discuss his book and share wines, cheeses and other tasty bits with the audience, accompanied by a slide show will be included. This event will be ticketed, and there will be a fee for attendance which will include wine, cheese, bread and the book. Please call McIntyre's Fine Books for more details and to sign up.
Saturday, May 5 at 11:00am
McIntyre's Author Event: Barbara Kingsolver
McIntyre's Fine Books is delighted to host bestselling author Barbara Kingsolver as she visits with her first nonfiction narrative that will open your eyes in a hundred new ways to an old truth: You are what you eat. With characteristic poetry and pluck, Kingsolver and her family sweep readers along on their journey away from the industrial-food pipeline to a rural life in which they vow to buy only food raised in their own neighborhood, grow it themselves, or learn to live without it.
Their good-humored search yields surprising discoveries about turkey sex life and overly zealous zucchini plants, en route to a food culture that's better for the neighborhood and also better on the table. Part memoir, part journalistic investigation, Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life makes a passionate case for putting the kitchen back at the center of family life and diversified farms at the center of the American diet. For more information, call McIntyre's Fine Books at (919) 542-3030.
Sunday May 6th at 2:00pm
McIntyre's Author Workshop: Lori Verni
McIntyre's welcomes Lori Verni, author of Everything You Need To Know About House Training Puppies and Adult Dogs. Meet the author and learn how dogs think with regard to housebreaking. She will answer questions, discuss various issues and sign books! For more information, call McIntyre's Fine Books at (919) 542-3030.
Monday, May 7th at 7:00pm
McIntyre's Author Event: Nathaniel Philbrick
Join National Book Award winner and NY Times bestselling author Nathaniel Philbrick as he reads from and discusses Mayflower: A Story of Courage, Community and War, his "portrait of the dawn of American history". From the perilous ocean crossing to the shared bounty of the first Thanksgiving, the Pilgrim settlement of New England has become enshrined as our most sacred national myth. Yet, Philbrick reveals in this spellbinding new book, the true story of the Pilgrims is much more than the well-known tale of piety and sacrifice; it is a fifty-five-year epic that is at once tragic, heroic, exhilarating, and profound. For more information, call McIntyre's Fine Books at (919) 542-3030.
Saturday May 26th at 11:00am
McIntyre's Author Event: Wayne Caldwell
Highly anticipated by McIntyre's staff, Asheville native Wayne Caldwell comes to read from and discuss his first novel Cataloochee. Against the breathtaking backdrop of Appalachia comes a rich, multilayered post-Civil War saga of three generations of families, their dreams, their downfalls, and their faith. Cataloochee is a slice of southern Americana told in the classic tradition of Flannery O'Connor and William Faulkner. For more information, call McIntyre's Fine Books at (919) 542-3030.
Sunday May 27th at 2:00pm
McIntyre's Author Event: Lisa Alther
Best-selling author Lisa Alther visits McIntyre's to discuss Kinfolks, which chronicles her search for the missing branches of her family tree in a dazzling, hilarious memoir.
Most of us grow up knowing who we are and where we come from. Lisa Alther's mother hailed from New York, her father from Virginia, and every day they reenacted the Civil War at home. Then a babysitter with bad teeth told Lisa about the Melungeons: six-fingered child-snatchers who hid in caves. Forgetting about these creepy kidnappers until she had a daughter of her own, Lisa learned they were actually an isolated group of dark-skinned people-often with extra thumbs-living in East Tennessee.
But who were they? Descendants of Sir Walter Raleigh's Lost Colony, or of shipwrecked Portuguese or Turkish sailors? Or the children of frontiersman, African slaves, and Native Americans? Lisa set out to discover who these mysterious Melungeons really were-and why her grandmother wouldn't let her visit their Virginia relatives. Part sidesplitting travelogue, part how (and how not) to climb your family tree, Kinfolks shimmers with wicked humor, showing just how wacky and wonderful our human family really is. For more information, call McIntyre's Fine Books at (919) 542-3030.

Subject: Nearing and Over 40 Women's Wine Group
As some of you may recall, I put out a posting for people interested in an "Over 40 Women's Wine Weekend" to the Yadkin Valley area. Based on the response, I've decided to postpone the weekend trip to September and try to do some day adventures between now and then so we can get to know one another. I've also opened up the group to those under 40 who want to come along as well.
Our first "official" get together is now scheduled for April 29th at Horizon Wine Cellars. This will be a wine tasting, tour & potluck lunch social. If you're interested in finding out more details, please email me and let me know so I can send you the RSVP sheet. The RSVP deadline is April 23rd.
If you were on the fence about the weekend wine event, I hope you'll consider joining us for an afternoon of fun to kick off our spring/summer, make some new friends, and have a delightful time!

another idea besides the habitat store. lou at baroke bldrs was looking for that size window not long ago if memory serves...width and height are important considerations...34 wide? 27 tall? is that sash only or does that measurement include jamb thickness, and that size sounds like one half of a double hung window set, gotta know these things when window shopping..a third alternative is replacing the old unit you're trying to match with something that you can get two of, thus giving you the two matching units...take the old set into habitat and maybe they'll deem to accept it as a donation. good luck greg jones

Subject: comments on the Pittsboro Food Lion
(snip)
Pet foods from veterinarians is way too pricey and grocery stores do sell
good, wholesome Purina dog foods. I am a Purina fan and have been for
several decades. To say that most of grocery store pet food is "junk" is a
bit of a stretch. Yes, there is junk dog food but if you are buying Purina
dog chow, Purina One, and others like this, you are buying a good quality
dog food. Pet owners should read the recall lists and look at the
production numbers and date. Not all pet food is on that list .... and most
of Purina's is not.
I respond:
Yes, but.... I once was about to buy a bag of "Beneful" dog food, which I
believe is made by Purina. As I was standing in line at the check-out, I
read the ingredient list. Right up there near the top was "sugar" or "high
fructose corn syrup" or some such thing.
Needless to say, I turned around and got some other kind of pet food.
Watch the labels, folks.

YOES RIZAL INDONESIAN ARTIST
OPENING AT THE SIDESTREET GALLERY, PITTSBORO
SUNDAY, MAY 6*
*Yoes Rizal, *one of Indonesia's top contemporary painters, will be
featured in a one-person show at the SideStreet Gallery, 18 East
Salisbury Street, Pittsboro, beginning on Sunday, May 6, 2007 and
continuing through May. Included in the show will be over thirty oils,
depicting a wide and varied style from abstractions to subtle realism
showing the color and variety particular to Indonesia. Yoes is a full
time, prolific painter, working for the most part in acrylics and oils.
Though Yoes lives in Bekasi, a suburb of Jakarta, he has been influenced
by his frequent visits to Bali. He has produced an exceptional series of
paintings reflecting Balinese culture in a style that one critic has
characterized as revealing a "...humanistic and intuitive-reflective
nature - showing promise for new generations of Indonesian artists."
Rizal is not a stranger to the United States, having attended the
Vermont Studio Center in 2000 via a grant from the Freeman Fellowship
Foundation. He also visited Chatham County earlier this year, attending
the annual Chatham Studio Tour (chathamstudiotour.com) in December and
spent three weeks in New York City, working with an artist friend who
was a classmate at the Vermont Studio Center. Rizal concluded his US
sojourn in February with a one man show at the Pi Gallery in Kansas City.
His current visit is being sponsored by Bill and Joan Sommers of
Fearrington Village and Michael Mosca of the Side Street Gallery.
