Toxic Sewage Sludge on Chatham County Farmlands

Subject: Toxic Sewage Sludge on Chatham County Farmlands

This editorial was published last year in the Chapel Hill Herald Sun. It is increasingly relevant as legislators consider this subject. Farmers have been told lies to get them to allow sludge dumping on the land that feeds this county. If they knew the truth, they’d reject the offer to host toxic sludge on their lands.

From: Happy Hunter
Subject: PLENTY of questions!

I have been watching the posts about this PLENTY concept and so far have reserved judgment, but it sure has spurred a lot of questions in my mind, being a risk-averse person. Here are a few of them… if you KNOW the answers, please respond…either directly or to the Chatlist. If you have opinions about the answers, but don’t KNOW it to be fact… then you’re just like me and need to let the ones in the KNOW talk. Thanks.

Want to give a shout out to Antonella’s on Hillsboro Street in Pittsboro  - it’s is such a breathe of fresh air. Owner Antonella Kundig sets the tone for her shop with a sincere friendliness and gentle kindness that’s so rare and very much appreciated.

Recommend Farmers market next to Carolina Brewery

From: Phyllis Thomas
Subject: Farmers market next to Carolina Brewery

Hi, chatters.  I went to the Farmers Market located in the parking lot between McDonald’s and Carolina Brewery.

While it was small, there was quite an offering of fresh produce and pastries, as well as coffee.  I haven’t seen anything about it on the Chatlist, so I thought I would mention it.  The people are set up at 8:00, and the selection was quite good, especially for something new.

The best dentist I’ve ever used is Bilal Saib in Southern Village.

From: Ann Hudak
Subject: Dentist recommendation

The best dentist I’ve ever used is Bilal Saib in Southern Village. I discovered him when I worked in Southern Village at Forever Young Spa because he is just upstairs on the second floor. His phone number is 919-933-3388. Both he and his staff are friendly and considerate.

Dr Saib gives the most painless needle I’ve ever had. My husband even let him pull FIVE teeth in one day because he trusts him so much. I had a tooth pulled a few weeks ago. From the moment he numbed me, I never felt once moment of discomfort, even after the novacaine wore off!!!!
