Board of Education candidate’s deception

October 30th, 2008 · No Comments

Date: Wed, 29 Oct 2008 08:23:02 -0400
From: Gerald  Totten
Subject: Board of Education candidate’s deception

This will go to the chatlist and to the Bulletin Board

Is this the person we want on the Board of Education?  Poll workers at Chatham Downs which include Flint O’Brien and Brian Lockwood are enticing voters with a handout for Flint O’Brien which is dishonest.  This is a non-partisan, school board race not a junk dog fight and is unworthy of such sleaze.

I am a public school teacher in Chatham County

October 28th, 2008 · No Comments

Date: Mon, 27 Oct 2008 19:00:19 -0700 (PDT)
From: Gina Carapella
Subject: please post-two things

First I would like to say that I find it REALLY hard to believe Dan Cahoon had any problem with Jim Cameron.  Jim is a wonderful builder that has his heart in the right place.  Dan on the other hand has no heart. To publicly humiliate someone about something that happened years ago is unbelievable to me.

Subject: Soil and Water Conservation Election-candidate info?

I’m getting ready to go early vote and have not been able to find any info about either of the candidates, except for the fact that J Lynn Mann is listed as the current Chair of the District Board on the Chatham County website.

Does anyone have more info on either candidate?

From: Elizabeth Essen
Subject: Looking for pumpkins

Regarding the post about pumpkins, there is a great family-run farm just across the Chatham County line in Lee County where they grow an interesting variety of pumpkins and gourds. They also offer pick-your-own greens (collards, mustard, and turnips), which are only $5 for a 5-gallon bucket full.
