Subject: Thanks to Lee Pollard and Computer Therapy

I want to take a moment to sincerely thank Lee Pollard and Computer Therapy Inc for donating computers and laptops to Chatham foster youth. These computers allow students to learn new skills, complete homework assignments, take online classes, complete research, and much more. Chatham County is truly blessed to have such a beneficial program.

If you are planning to replace your computer or have already purchased a new computer, please consider donating your old computer or laptop to Computer Therapy.  www.computer-therapy.com

Subject: Sally Kost frequently sought to fiddle with meeting minutes.

Seems like Chatham Coalition member and Chatham County Commission chairman has a problem with what she says being put in the public record.

Sally Kost frequently sought to fiddle with meeting minutes.

You can read the entire article in Cary news at http://www.carynews.com/2010/06/19/18690/joint-committee-record-gets-a.html

Below are some pertinent points

“The minutes are the official documentation of meeting bodies,” said Cary Councilman Erv Portman, a committee member. “It’s important they reflect what was said and not what someone might have thought they said.”

Subject: Chickens in the neighborhood

The requests from home buyers to be able to raise chickens or goats in neighborhoods has greatly increased in the last few years.  Some developers have recorded covenants to allow chickens (rarely allow a rooster) to broaden their buying pool and many neighborhoods have amended their covenants to allow chickens.

If your neighborhood allows chickens, is considering chickens or has already changed the covenants to do so, I would like to get your feedback on the pros or cons in your experience.

Subject:  It prevents politicians from back tracking when they’re caught in lies

The problem with Verbatim Minutes is that it prevents politicians from back tracking when they’re caught in lies (or mis-statements as they like to call them).

Personally, I applaud the use of verbatim minute keeping, and really, I think they should video the meetings and post them publically (with exceptions for the rules regarding closed door meetings) for anyone in the county to view and consider…

East Chatham Chargers are looking for youths ages 13-15 to help form a Prep Football Team and Cheer Squad to represent the East Chatham Chargers. We are 6 football players short of being able to declare a team.

We are looking for 13-15 year olds(any size or weight) or any 12 year olds >155lbs. We definitely would like to field a 13-15 Team if there are interested players.  This is a great feeder program for the Northwood Football Team and we would like to continue the tradition of our athletes moving on to High School Football.  The Board would like applications to be sent in for a head count as soon as possible, no money for now only due once a team has been declared ($80).

Subject: Chatham Bookmobile Services Terminated

I must admit that I over the past 15 years I have only visited the bookmobile on a handful of occasions.  I do not even know the routes and schedules.  Where is that posted?

However, I will tell you that growing up in a rural coastal community, I distinctly recall that our county bookmobile came at 10 AM on Tuesdays.  I was only able to take advantage of that service during the summer months while on summer vacation.  However, there were at least 5 families that took advantage of this service on my street of 10 houses.
