Subject: graduation projects

I would be interested to hear others’ experiences (as parents, students, mentors, judges) with the first year of the graduation project. I mentored a student last fall, and just got back from judging the presentations at J-M. The students (both my mentee and the 4 students I judged) were engaged and did a good job. I am still concerned about the
effect of the project on graduation rates (have to wait a few more months to see the numbers), but overall I think it is worthwhile.

Subject: produce at a reasonable price

Went by farmers market at the brewery Saturday to check it out. Not much to offer but high prices. English peas at $4.00 a pound. Heard the Pittsboro market offered lettuce in a ziploc bag at $5.00 each.

Hey everybody go on out to the Busy Bee Farm and you can pick your produce fresh from the plants. Sugar snap peas at $1.50 lb, Brocolli at $2.25 a head, cauliflower at $2.00 head, and squash(just coming in) at $1.50 lb. Lettuce is $2.50 head. Two types still available. China cabbage at $2.50 head.

Subject: Big Thanks

The service department at Pittsboro Ford would like to send out a big “thank you” to Tommy Snipes of Snipes Heating and Air for coming to our rescue last week. Our Service Department A/C system had been acting up and he was right there to get the problem fixed and gave us a great price at that!! It’s folks like Tommy that make this a great area to live and do business. Remember….Buy Local!!!!
