Al Cooke is an excellent extension agricultural agent

February 29th, 2012 · No Comments

Date: Sat, 25 Feb 2012 17:54:30 -0500
From: Alex Haynes Buob
Subject: extension agricultural agent

I would also like to commend Al Cooke’s service to the county. My husband was his counterpart in  New Hampshire until we retired here three years ago. My husband has taken advantage of many programs offered. During  my husbands thirty year tenure, I learned lots about the system.  There are motivated and effective agents and there are  some less than effective.

Believe me, Al Cooke is excellent!

New Chatham County Politalk blog is sad venture

February 22nd, 2012 · No Comments

From: Ed Isdead
Subject: re:Subject: Politalk, a locally based web blog from the Capitol of Chatham Co.

How typical…those who willfully believe fiction and espouse values of inequality are not quite literate enough to discern the difference between “capitol” and “capital”. This is laughable. No, not quite. It’s just sad.

A farm is just a bigger, messier fish bowl

February 22nd, 2012 · No Comments

Date: Mon, 20 Feb 2012 20:06:15 GMT
From: Jackie Strouble
Subject: Re: re: sad fish at the Chatham Library

Mr. Dova’s response tickled me. He accuses the original poster of having a skewed, citified perspective, and then goes on to describe a farm as “the natural world.” Mr. Dova, a farm is just a bigger, messier fish bowl. It has about as much resemblance to the natural world as does downtown Detroit. It’s a factory with mud and grass, where animals are exploited to sustain humans. And, yes, that’s where my food comes from too, and no, I’m not a vegetarian, and no I’m not disrespecting farmers. My favorite place in the whole world was my grandmother’s farm where I spent countless hours as a kid. I wanted to grow up and have a farm just like hers until I did grow up a little and I realized how much work and risk was involved.

Terri Witt and her group are involved in animal rescue as well so that’s a pretty good indicator that they really care about the animals that they are entrusted with.
