Subject: Academy Opens Doors to Homeschoolers

Haw River Christian Academy (HRCA) is not only opening up another  
grade this Fall, serving grades K-3, but also expanding its student  
body to include homeschooling families.  The school will be offering  
Music and Latin classes for interested families.  Registration is now  
open for the 2009-10 school year, which begins in September.

As part of the classical Christian curriculum, Latin is introduced to  
the Academy’s students beginning in the 3rd grade.  Homeschooling  
families who are seeking outside assistance in this subject may  
consider enrolling their child(ren), grades 2-5 (ages 7-10 by August  
31, 2009) in the school’s program.  Pastor Jerry Ward, Pittsboro  
Church of the Nazarene, will be teaching the class.  He graduated in  
2001 with a religion degree from Trevecca Nazarene University.  He  
continued his education at Nazarene Theological Seminary in Kansas  
City, eventually returning to the South to attend Duke Divinity School.

Music classes, for grades 2-5 (ages 7-10 by August 31, 2009), will  
also be available to homeschoolers.  The class is taught by a local  
parent and member of the school, Amanda Sparks, who holds a degree in  
music performance (voice) and an endorsement for teaching music.  She  
is classically trained in piano, voice, and several instruments.

Students are taught proper singing technique, how to sing in harmony,  
and performance skills while learning hymns and quality songs.  They  
also study beginning music theory including rhythm pattern repetition,  
reading and writing simple music notation, and beginning music  
vocabulary.  Students are introduced to the instruments of the  
orchestra and begin to identify them while listening to selected  
classical music literature.  There is also an emphasis on music  
history and music genre.  During the Spring semester, the students  
will learn to play the recorder.

Tuition for the Latin class, which meets Tuesday, Wednesday, and  
Thursday at HRCA from 9:00-9:45 A.M. (with review materials provided  
for Monday and Friday) is $50.00/month per child.  The Music class,  
scheduled for Wednesday mornings from 9:45-10:45 A.M., is $40.00/month  
per child.  Applications, requiring a $50.00 registration fee for  
either class, are now available.  Students may register for both  
classes, specially priced at $75.00/month per child, with a $75.00  
registration fee.  Seating is limited.

For more information or to request an application, please call the  
School Office at 919-533-4139 or visit the school’s web site:  www.HawRiverChristian.org

Subject: The Fearrington House Announces the 2009 Culinary School Series

Polish your culinary skills with one of our hands-on cooking class
retreats at The Fearrington House Restaurant this year. Executive Chef
Colin Bedford shares his culinary knowledge on topics ranging from
cooking with herbs, seasoning and cooking meats, and creating great fall
cuisine.  The retreat includes afternoon tea, wine and hors d'oeuvres
reception, dinner, an overnight stay at the award-winning country
Fearrington House Country Inn, breakfast and a full morning of hands-on
cooking instruction. The series is open to those with a range of
culinary skill levels, and equally ideal for couples and groups of
friends. Chef Bedford's accessible instructional approach includes
hands-on and group work and tips for making these dishes at home.  Class
size is kept small to facilitate the learning experience.

The first day of the retreat is designed to introduce class attendees to
each other and to the team at The Fearrington House.  Chef Bedford and
Wine Director Max Kast will host the wine and hors d'oeuvres reception
in the adjacent Garden House before a gourmet dinner is served at the
Fearrington House Restaurant.  Following dinner, a tour of the wine
cellar, kitchen and culinary class kitchen are given by Chef Bedford and
Wine Director Kast.

After a restful evening and a hearty breakfast, students join Chef
Bedford in the teaching kitchen for a full morning of hands-on culinary
work.  In addition to covering the topic at hand, innovative techniques,
knife skills and seasoning methods are shared in every class.  

The 2009 Culinary School Series includes:

July 12th and 13th, 2009: The Herb Kitchen
The ideal class for gardeners and gourmands alike, the Herb Kitchen
class focuses on organic produce from local farms and the Fearrington
gardens.  Colin will teach students how to create and enhance recipes
with herbs. Our organic gardening specialist will also share information
about cultivating herbs.

Roll up your chef's jacket sleeves for the annual Fearrington grilling
class. Get expert advice on grilling techniques from Colin while
mastering innovative recipes for your next cook-out. Max Kast will offer
beer and wine pairing suggestions to complement your grilling creations.

I'm sending this at a friend's request. I know this dog. I dog sit for

Sasha, a 2-year old female (shepherd/chow/lab) needs a new home, where
she will have more people time and opportunity to exercise than I can
provide. I have been feeding and befriending Sasha for a year, but she
deserves better. Sasha is a beautiful black dog with light brown eyes
and thick fur, about 50 lbs, current on rabies shot, spayed, etc. She is
smart, and FULL of energy. Sasha has behavior problems like jumping up,
tugging at clothes and obeying commands, but she walks well on a leash
and trainers have told me she’s teachable. She has tremendous enthusiasm
for life. She would be *GREAT* as a herder on a farm or with a family
where someone is home during the day. She runs like the wind and has
been known to sleep with pigs!

For more info &/or to set up a time to meet Sasha, please call Laura

Subject:  Lilies poisonous to cats

A friend of mine was given a bouquet that had a lily in it.  Her cat got the
pollen on his coat and ended up in hospital receiving a special $1800
treatment to save his life from exposure to the lily.  We had no idea lilies
were so dangerous to cats and there are a lot of them around at Easter
time.  This applies only to true lilies, not the many other flowers with the
lily name.  The florists don't seem to inform or warn people about this
danger.

If a cat is exposed to a lily - whether it is the pollen or if they bite the
leaf or petal - they have an 18-hour window during which to start the poison
treatment of forcing fluids through the kidneys, then administering charcoal
to absorb the poison.  This treatment is only given at special facilities,
two in this area.  This must be done within 18 hours even though the signs
of illness will not show up until 2 days after exposure!  The cat will
appear perfectly fine but will still need this treatment to save its life.

So just don't bring lilies into a house where cats live.  Who knew?

Subject: Bicycles serviced and repaired

Well spring and summer are here. Are your bicycles ready for the ride?

I have over 20 years experience in the bicycle industry. I have built
bicycles from the ground up and have worked on just about every type of
bicycle that there is. I would love to help you get your bike back in
running order if it has been awhile or to do repairs or tune ups if you
need them. I can repair flats, true wheels, replace broken spokes, tune
ups, major and minor repairs, major and minor overhauls and new, frame
up builds. I can supply parts or use yours. I can also help in the
selection of a new bike or help find that cool used one and then get you
on it and set up correctly.

I can pick up your bike and return it or do some things on site at your
home. Your choice.

I have very reasonable rates and will be happy to email you a list of my
services and prices upon request or I can come give you an estimate.

Let’s get you back on the trails or the road so you can enjoy your summer.

Thank you very much for the response to this from Chatlist readers!
Chatham residents are awesome!

Silk Hope, NC - The Spring Shakori Hills
Grassroots Festival always falls around Earth Day
(April 22nd). Each year, it seems the ecological
and sustainability practices become more and more
prevalent at this festival which obviously has a
commitment to the earth as well as to education
about its care. Shakori Hills also has a lot of
friends and allies in this commitment.

This past fall, on Saturday, while the festival
(and local) favorites The Carolina Chocolate
Drops were playing their set, the festival had a
significant power failure, causing stage sound do
go out. Some quick, smart festival organizers
noticed the http://www.biofuels.coop/Piedmont
Biofuels generator, on display nearby, and hooked
it up to the sound making all well again in
festival land. A quick answer to the emergency,
it said a lot about the festival that Piedmont
Biofuels was present and that the fun was saved
through natural power.

In further efforts to investigate alternative
power sources, Shakori Hills has teamed up with
http://theabundancefoundation.org/The Abundance
Foundation - a local organization whose purpose
is to increase public awareness of sustainable
energy usage and local food consumption in
Chatham County. Together, the organizations are
working on a plan to make the festival and its
home solar power dependent in the next few years.
They are taking donations from the public, and
will have a solar panel on display at the
festival to tell attendees how it all works.

Throughout the weekend, as festival goers buy
food, throw out their trash, and clean up the
area around their camp site, they will notice
Shakori Hills's efforts to cut down on litter
going to the landfill. All food vendors provide
compostable plates, bowls, cups, and utensils,
which are separated out at trash stations around
the food area. There are also recycling and
composting sites throughout the grounds. For a
festival that has a peak of 7000 attendees,
that's a lot of avoided garbage. And for drinking
water, festival goers can bring their water
bottles and refill them with water from the Blue
Green Machine. The Machine is a water filtering
system that takes water from the local well and
filters it, giving free water to anyone who needs
it, thanks to their owners,
http://www.kinetico.com/Kinetico.

Probably the most influential Earth Day activity
at the festival will be the Sustainablity Fair.
This year, the fair will be a little different
and will be made up of forums and speakers as
well as demonstrations throughout the four days.
Here is a list of some of the topics and speakers:
- Laura Lauffer from Central Carolina Community
College's Green Building Program  will lead a
discussion about involving the use of renewable
resources and materials in building design and
renovation (Fri, 1pm).
- Pierre Lauffer will be leading Maintaining
Natural Resources as Natural Assets for a
Sustainable Future¬ (Friday, 3:30pm) a group
discussion on maintaining regional natural
resource capacity in face of community growth and
development.
- The Eight Principals of Deep Ecology (Fri,
4:30pm & Sat, 10:00am). Valentine Antony, Compost
Coordinator for Shakori Hills and a Sustainable
Agriculture major at Central Carolina Community
College will explore humanity's dynamic
relationship to our biosphere and the need for a
spiritually rooted environmental movement.
- Compost Conscious "The Secret Life of Compost."
(Sat 11:00am) Bob and Camille Armantrout will
present basic composting techniques using
low-tech, inexpensive methods that almost anyone
can follow.
- Public Transportation and its Role in
Sustainable Communities. Allison Springer of
Chatham Transit Network will lead us in an
interactive brainstorming discussion about
problems and solutions associated with
sustainable public transportation that meets the
community's needs. (Sat, noon)
- Green Building 101 Public Outreach
Presentation. Michael Chandler of Chandler
Design-Build, Inc. presents an overview of green
building and how the industry is responding to
increased energy scarcity and climate change by
improving the way homes are built and maintained.
(Fri, 2:15pm & Sat, 1:00pm)
- The Power of Solar (Sat, 2:30pm). Solar energy
expert, Ed Witkin of Carrboro Solar Works and
Solar Tech South will lead a basic interactive
discussion of the benefits of solar energy and
the process of converting to solar power.

Getting to and from the festival can also be done
in a way that is good to the earth. Durham's
http://www.ninthstbakery.com/9th Street Bakery
will be offering rides in its
http://www.shakorihills.org/59/Bio Bus. The bus
stops at One World Market in Durham, Hamm's in
Chapel Hill,  and Weaver Street Market in
Carrboro. More info and schedule can be found at

Subject: Summer Camp

Cedar Hill Farms Riding Camp

Hi everybody!  I was just wanting to let everybody know that we are  taking
in registration forms for our Summer Riding Camp '09.  
I am very excited about our camp this year, it should be a lot of  fun!

This year we have 4 different sessions.

Each camp morning will start with a one hour lesson.  After campers  put
their horses away properly (using the skills we will be teaching them) they  have
a lunch break.  Each afternoon we will explore a special topic (which  
reflects the theme of the week), and enjoy a healthy snack provided by us!

After all of this "serious" work and learning, we always make time for  play!
 Kids like to go down to the creek and stomp around, play tag, hide  and go
seek, play in the sprinkler, or make art to bring home to  parents.  We also
have "horse related play", where kids pretend to jump the  jumps, have grooming
contests, the sky is the limit!

Session 1:  Basic Horsemanship  (June 15-19th)

Campers will learn basic horse care.  We will learn how to groom  horses,
lead, tack up, etc.  Safety around horses (always a priority at  CHF), will be
stressed, as well as proper technique.  This week is geared  towards a beginner,
but can also be for a more advanced rider.

Session 2:  Games Week  (June 22-26th)

This is a new addition to camp!  The kids are going to be very excited  about
this week.  After a serious lesson in the morning we will devote much  of the
ride to "games".  Egg and spoon, the ever popular tag, highly  competitive
ride-a-buck...  That sort of thing!  The kids love it, and  they also learn
important riding skills while playing...

Session 3:  Vet Week  (June 29th- July 3rd)

Is your child interesting in being a vet?  Love taking care of  animals?  
This is the week for them.  We teach the kids some of the  finer points of horse
care (age appropriate, of course).  Campers will  learn how to wrap a leg,
take a temp., about different diseases, lameness and  much more.  We go to Apex
Equine Vet Hospital and meet with our vet who  will give a tour of the hospital
and answer questions.  The kids never fail  to surprise me with the questions
that they ask and how much they love learning  about this!

Session 4:  Horse Show Week  (July 6-10th)

Our most popular week in camp!  Kids learn all about horse  showing.  They
learn about how to compete in a show and how to get  ready!  We show them how to
get the horse properly groomed for the show  (bathing, clipping, braiding,
etc).  At the end of the week we  hold the "CHF Camp Horse Show".  Family and
friends are welcome and  encouraged to attend and watch the kids compete!  

Camp Hours are from 9-4 Monday through Friday.  We have extended hours  if
needed!

The camp cost $300 per week.

registration from _www.cedarhillfarms-nc.com_ (http://www.cedarhillfarms-nc.com)

I enjoyed sharing and trading with the all the folks who came out and dug up
plants from my gardens.  If you missed me this spring, I will have more to
give away this fall.  Come out this summer for a floral design class when
all the flowers are in bloom.  Have a great summer in the garden.

Subject: First Sunday Events in Historic Pittsboro

First Sunday, April 5, noon to 4:00 will be gorgeous and sunny! We're
counting on it, so come for the festivities - lots of artisans with tables
full of local handmade items (and shops are open!), just in time for
Easter!!

Stop by Unity Books and Stuff and Espresso Brazil for a Tropical Smoothie
Special (all week-end!) at 20% off and in addition all White Chocolate
Espresso Drinks are 20% off beginning Friday! Cheesecake is 50% off -
($2.50) on Sat. and Sun.
Bread Shop Breads are only $2.39 with many varieties. We will also treat you
to a taste of our "Famous Coffee" - shade grown, organic, fair trade
and especially roasted for us - so you can taste "The Coffee Everyone is
Talking About!"

Be sure to check out Sharon's Soul Space with beautiful artifacts and even
drums, art work, cards and so much more. And look in the back to see
Jennifer Fuller's paintings, new to Unity Books and Stuff and Espresso
Brazil.

Used Books line the shelves of Unity Books and Stuff and we have more titles
than ever before - with our customers in mind!
We also feature many local authors, and we have a wide selection of their
books, so come have a look. Every First Sunday we have an author signing
books.

All Kids are invited to the Webkinz Contest Winner's Ceremony at 4:00
Sunday, when we will present the 2 winners of the Webkinz Drawing Contest.
The 2 Winners will each win a Webkinz of their choice!!
And a reminder for the Webkinz Club Kids: The April Meeting is Tuesday April
7 at 4:30 when we will plan our Relay for Life (May 16) and decorate the red
wagon, which we will raffle off for the event. Don't miss all the fun!!
And Kids - We will dye Easter Eggs again this year on Saturday April 11 (the
day before Easter!). Each kid may dye 2 eggs (provided by the Easter Bunny)
and kids are invited to bring a couple more if they wish.

First Sunday is a wonderful way to support local Artisans and the Historic
Downtown Pittsboro Businesses. It is vital to the well-being of our town for
us to become acquainted with the folks who live here, and who provide goods
and services to this vibrant, friendly community. Please invite your friends
and family to spend the afternoon in town, exploring the unique character
of this community, and helping to spread the word about our great folks!

Folks,

Sorry to ask a question that has been asked many times before, but I can't seem to find the answer.  Who is the gentleman in Goldston that has been recommended many times, for working on cars?  I've got some auto mechanic work that needs to be done and I'd like to help out a local.

Thanks,

Chuck (ncvelo...@hotmail.com)
