Subject: Haw River Christian Academy

I want to raise two points about the proposed school in Pittsboro and add some comments.

The area or market served will be the county, not the town, and areas outside Chatham also, just as all the businesses in town.

The neighbors of the Academy are businesses, not residents.

Subject: General Store Passages

I was taking a hiatus from teaching and had just injured my shoulder while working as a punch-list carpenter. I was in a familiar place emotionally, feeling at a dead end about my options for work. That was precisely the time when Mimi Sharpe asked me to be a guest chef at The General Store. Two weeks later we had negotiated my temp position into a full time job. If there ever existed a thing like serendipity or synchronicity or the unviverse giving you something that was wanted or needed….for me that job was it.

Subject: Voller Blinked

Like a kid caught doing something wrong, Randy Voller has been embarrased. Of course, rather than admit that he was wrong, Randy pulls his usual routine and comes out with a bunch of excuses in a bloated diatribe trying to explain why he believes that he didn’t do anything wrong.

We have seen this behaviour repeatedly. According to Randy nothing wrong is ever his fault.

Subject: Many Thanks

In my five years working in foster care, I encountered many generous souls in this county. I want to send out many thanks to everyone who has helped a foster child in some way. Several churches in the area have helped foster youth moving into their first homes with household, cleaning, and toiletry supplies. I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

There are a few people/agencies/companies I want to thank by name:

Mark your calendars – Bynum Front Porch Bingo is Back Saturday Feb 4th – 7pm.

Bynum Front Porch is bringing bingo again, once a month, first Saturdays through April! Join the fun on the first Saturday of every month (coming up this February 4th at 7 pm) for BFP Bingo. Win prizes or cash with our 50/50 games. Each game is $1 for 3 cards and you can play as many $1 cards as you wish. There will be 5 prize games (each prize worth at least $10), then a 50/50 game. This game costs $5 and the winner takes half the pot (hence 50/50). We’ll follow with 5 more prize games and a final 50/50 game to end the night and wrap things up at around 9 pm.

Subject: Major disaster – General Store Closing

The General Store has been part of my and my family’s life for so many years! Just the Saturday before they closed, we had a wonderful meal, promising each other to try each others orders next time around.  I had commented on how superior the all the components of my Mediterranean platter had been.
