Subject: PTA advocating for School Board candidates? It is illegal and inappropriate for PTA's to use their membership lists or influence to support individual candidates. They could and probably will loose their non-profit satis if they do it. It is totally appropriate and legal to actively support issues that will directly benefit local schools and education. The LTT would certainly improve education in the county by building schools. The children of Chatham would benefit directly from the libraries, public health facilities, and other basic infrastructural necessities this county is lacking. Thank you Heather for keeping this topic on the forefront. By not passing the LTT, Chatham continues to shoot it's self in the head! Peter Theye

Subject: Coalition Egomania So, let's go backwards, Sally and Jeffery. You two run against Cross and Barnes, split the vote and in walks the good old boy (gal) candidate that they've dusted off for this election. Brilliant! If the concern was truly about the county and not about your own coalition agenda, you would work with what we have. (Even when what we have isn't perfect or your puppet) To think that founders of the Coalition are elect-able candidates is pure folly. This was just what was predicted. The Coalition gets such a big head that it eats itself. Good luck, but all the luck in the world won't put these two in office in Chatham County. -------------------- 4 -------------------- Date: Sat, 1 Mar 2008 08:34:12 -0500 From: "pam smith"

Subject: THANK YOU MY FRIENDS! Giving away clothing at Beggars and Choosers has never been so much fun! Actually I am down with the worst flu I've ever had and was so worried about my free night. But my family took over and my loyal customers came and my husband said it was a good time had by all! We have something very special in Chatham Co. and I'm proud to be a part of it. What I give away is nothing in comparison to the joy i receive .. Thanks to all of you that came last night, sorry I wasn't able to join you but my family and friends said the party went on without me! -------------------- 5 -------------------- Date: Sat, 1 Mar 2008 08:36:18 EST From:

Subject: riding summer camp Hi all, Can anyone recommend a local summer horseback riding camp? In particular, a weekly day camp that has a program for young (6 years old) beginners.

Subject: PTA advocating for School Board candidates? I am a parent of a Perry Harrison student. Last year I received e-mails form the PHS PTA advocating for the LTT. After contacting the State PTA and Chatham County Schools, I received an apology and I felt that the volunteers who run the PTA e-mail list at PHS understood that there had a been a line crossed. But over the last 7 days, I have received three e-mails referencing Flint O'Brien and Pete Rubinas,school board candidates. Do you feel that this is an appropriate use of PTA e-mail lists? Do you feel that this is advocating for a certain candidate on behalf of the PTA? I think that PTA e-mail lists can be very useful. But if their intent during political times is pass on political messages, I want to hear from ALL candidates. Otherwise I feel that the PHS PTA is advocating for certain candidates and that is an inappropriate use of the e-mail lists. -- Heather Johnson Chatham Bookkeeping Services 919-444-1186 As the list serve moderator for the PHS PTSA, it is my task to keep parents and staff at the school informed about all issues affecting the education of our students at PHS. To receive emails from our PTSA is voluntary, parents need to sign up to receive them and can unsubscribe at any time. The information provided by Flint O'Brien and Pete Rubinas was relevant to the PHS community and was forwarded for that reason. If other candidates would like to be introduced through our list serve, we will provide that service as well. In fact, information from Gene Galin, a PHS parent and candidate for School Board, has also been distributed to our list serve. Our PTSA plans to host a "meet the candiates" forum this spring and we look forward to having open discussion with all candidates. The PTSA does not openly support any candidate although its members as individuals may choose to do so. Sending out emails introducing candidates or providing information about BOE meetings is not an endorsement of anyone by the PTSA. It is simply for informational purposes only. All relevant info that concerns the education of our students will continue to be forwarded. As far as the information sent out about the LTT last year, Dr. Ann Hart, Superintendent of Chatham County Schools at that time, asked all PTA Presidents to forward out this information to inform families about the tax and that the money would be used for school construction. The PTA was acting on this direction. Karen Heilman PHS PTSA President -------------------- 7 -------------------- Date: Sat, 1 Mar 2008 09:59:49 -0500 From: "Gene"

Subject: I was able to submit a post to the PHS PTSA email list Just wanted to let everyone know that I was able to submit a post to the PHS PTSA email list. Here's a snippet of what I sent over to Karen - -- start snippet -- Karen - I am so very happy to see you open up the Perry Harrison School PTSA email list to all Board of Education candidates. It is good to have another communications venue to reach out to parents. Thanks so much for all you do at PHS. For those Perry Harrison parents who missed the BOE meeting the following are some links to video clips of the meeting so you can see and hear some of what went on - -- end snippet -- You can read the rest of my email and view the existing discussion about this matter on the bulletin board at http://chatham-county-nc.com/bulletinboard/index.php?topic=5937.15 -------------------- 8 -------------------- Date: Sat, 1 Mar 2008 10:21:55 -0500 From:

Subject: Accidents 15-501 & Mann's Chapel Sounds like I may be in the minority on this one, but I don't think there is a problem with the lights at all. I travel through this intersection twice a day. The problem is with people running 55 to 65 MPH through this 45 MPH zone and trying to cut the lights too close. If the proper speed limit was observed and enforced AND the lights were adhered to, the problem would correct itself. One thing I would change is make ALL directions NO RIGHT ON RED, reason being the angle that 15-501 intersects at. If it were straight instead of in a sweeping curve everyone could see better. Retiming the lights in my opinion would make no difference. -------------------- 9 -------------------- Date: Sat, 1 Mar 2008 11:34:32 -0500 From: "MBCopeland"

Subject: Haw River Assembly's Clean-Up-A-Thon March 15 Here's another opportunity to join the efforts of the Haw River Assembly.HAW RIVER CLEAN-UP on March 15, 2008!Saturday, March 15 is the Haw River Assembly's 18th Annual Clean-Up-A-Thon!Join with enthusiastic volunteers who will be taking out trash from the Haw River's banks, creeks and Jordan Lake. Volunteers work in teams near bridge crossings or new spots where trash needs to be removed.

This year we especially need volunteers for three of our biggest clean-up sites -- in Bynum, Swepsonville (includes a river island) and at Jordan Lake. The Jordan Lake effort is being organized by the Army Corps of Engineers to clean up an area down near the dam. Want to take part ?Give us a call, or send an email to the HRA office. We provide the bags, gloves and tally sheets - you provide the people power! Call (919) 542-5790 or email

to sign up. Let us know if you have a specific location you want to clean-up, otherwise let us know where you live so you can join a team closest to you. Each teams starting time may vary, but most begin in the mroning around 10AM. Can't help clean-up the river that day?

Subject: Intersection at Cole Park My children go to school at Woods Charter and it is a common site to see accidents at the Cole Park Plaza intersection. I have seen posts suggesting the stoplight's timer might be off but another contributing factor may simply be the lack of those little white lines that guide drivers as they are turning...

Subject: A Fine Film On Farming Today Every once in awhile, somebody gets it exactly right. "The Girl From Paris", a film by Christian Carion, rings of authenticity. This award winning film is not what a person would expect in regards to accurate small livestock farming information. The DVD can be found at PBO Library. Two thumbs up. According to the "State Of The County Address", Chatham County is the ONLY COUNTY in the state that has not had a decline in the number of farms in recent years. Who puts out the "State Of The County Address" ? Well, the Chatham County Board of Commissioners, that's who. If I heard it right at the Citizens College, this is the first one published, ever. Support those who support you...R -------------------- 14 -------------------- Date: Sun, 2 Mar 2008 01:05:42 -0500 From: "Dave Cohen"

Subject: Re: Affordable websites Just some comments...sites will automatically get searched by engines. For google, google sitemaps is important. Also, there are many more detailed issues for SEO (search engine optimization) - for instance, a business like this should highlight the area in text/description/title. Many links, such as to AOL, leave the web site (not good!). Finally, site does not work right in Mozilla Firefox - minimal support should be IE 6+ and Firefox. Subject: Affordable websites Affordable web-sites designed, built and maintained. Prices include submission to major search engines like Google.com / Yahoo.com / Altavista and alltheweb.com.
