Subject: Fire ants

Al Cook’s advice is the way to go with fire ants. I’ve had good luck with them by posting surveyor’s ribbon around the mounds that are close to the beaten path but enough out of the way to live with. They look like miniature crime scenes.

Four of these little crime scenes and I can get back to worrying about ticks.

Subject: Antonella’s Hair Salon

I am looking for a new hair stylist closer to home.

I was thinking about heading to Antonella’s in downtown Pittsboro. Good experiences?…or rather, did you like your haircut?

Thanks,

Diane

Subject: Ditto to Lori

Just wanted to say that I wholeheartedly agree with Bernice regarding Lorie at Salon Blue.

It had been years since I had a pedicure and the last time I’d paid some outlandish amount for one that ultimately gave me a toe disease (I  hate the word fungus associated with my body)….so I went with great trepidation.  I asked about cleaning the foot bath, etc. and Lorie does  exactly what the podiatrist had recommended.  Then, when I asked the cost  for both the pedicure and manicure I had to ask again….FANTASTIC…plus my  appendages look pretty glamorous.  I’m goin’ back!

Subject: Essential Raindrop Treatment and Acupuncture

Today I had the pleasure of experiencing an essential raindrop treatment done by Jamie Kozlowski in Pittsboro.

Absolutely wonderful ! Her office is lovely and  serene. She is gentle and nurturing. I had been down with back spasms for about 10 days. Sara Ruth Kane helped with the spasms with her acupuncture, also in Pittsboro (337-7645). My doctor had me on pain medication as well. All of the down time and medicine left me feeling tired and worn out. After the treatment from Jamie within an hour I felt revived, alert and my back was relaxed. I have another appointment with Sara Friday. I expect to be “fit as a fiddle” afterwards.

Subject: Thank You From Mo-Mo

Hello Everyone,

Mo-Mo’s story had a very sad, abusive beginning…but, now with wonderful animal-lovers from all over NC and especially, CHATHAM COUNTY….he will now have a happy ending!

Mo-Mo is a young Pit Bull that was rescued by one of my customers, who does independent rescue.  Mo came to Maureen weighing 26#’s ….his ideal weight SHOULD have been closer to 55-60#!!!!  Please read his update below:

Subject: Board of Education Meeting Summary - Sept. 8, 2008

The Chatham County Board of Education met at the central office on Monday, September 8.

Good News
Dr. Robin McCoy, Assistant Superintendent of Curriculum and Instruction, shared data from the 2008 SAT results.  (See the district’s online press release from 8/25/08 for details.)

Superintendent Robert Logan gave the Board an update on student membership through today, the tenth day of the school year.  The district currently has 7731 students in kindergarten through grade twelve, 100 less students than projected. Logan noted that area charter school enrollment has increased which may account for the difference in students enrolled
versus projected.
