Subject: pond fishing

If you catch them, eat them. It is beneficial to the fish population to remove caught fish and make room for others to gorw larger.
If you need a delicious and easy recipe:  fish under 4 pounds – leave head and scale on, just gut.

Subject: Cell phone changes.

Starting 3 days ago, my cell phone reception was much worse, not only here in Pittsboro but also in Carrboro where my other office is.

I also have Sprint and called them on Saturday, was told I would have to bring my phone in to one of their stores.  I went to their Durham store, where they checked my phone.  I was told it was functioning perfectly and that the problem was on their end.  I asked when it would be corrected and they said they would do it if they got enough complaints!

Subject: Cell service problems

Several folks have asked questions about cell service problems and there are solutions. There are new cell boosters available that will greatly enhance your reception . We have installed 3 of the systems and they did a great job. I f you have at least 1 bar inside your residence that works when you are in the right spot and more bars outside then we can assist you in choosing the right booster for your situation.

Subject: Changing cell phone reception

I had a lot of people respond to me with similar problems – from different carriers. Indeed, I wonder what has happened that has changed things. Some Verizon users think it was the switch from Alltel towers to Verizon towers == perhaps Sprint had also been sharing signals with the Alltell towers — and they’ve discontinued using Alltel towers altogether? Any other thoughts? Could it just be the leaves filling in from spring to summer? But I don’t remember this problem last summer …

Subject: Re: Rocky River Access

To the person looking for river access..not sure which area you are in, or if you need canoe access or walking, but you can walk in via Triangle Land Conservatory, off River’s Fork in Asbury, or I hear there is access at the Rocky River bridge, about six miles out s fr/Pittsboro, right before you get to River’s Fork..I don’t know about

this second one, but I hear there is a trail to the river down to the left, coming fr/Pittsboro, on the far side of the bridge.  don’t know if it’s state land or private, either
