Subject: Things will work out they always do!

I have been seeing so much dissension going on this chatlist that I had to share a quotation that we all should heed.  I hope that whatever the outcome of the situation of opening the school is we should just accept and then we all have to move on.  I am sure things will work out in the end what is best for the children.

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: Haw River Christian Academy

I am writing in support of the Haw River Christian Academy’s  being allowed to lease and occupy the empty building on Salisbury Street in Pittsboro. It is true, I am prejudiced in this case:  my granddaughter attends the 3rd grade at the present school, and has benefited greatly from her first year there.   It is also true that I have not,  in the past,  been an advocate for private or religious schools.  I have experienced both, as have many of my siblings, and I have preferred to send my own children, including Ellie’s father, to public schools.

I am completely amazed at the statements and attitude of the folks campaigning for the school to open in the old Piggly Wiggly building.  The remarks are full of hate and immediate anger whenever anyone questions their motivation or does not agree with them.  What happened to constructive critisim and discussion?

Subject: Don’t be afraid of change!

I have been a reader of the Chatlist for about eight years. I also own a small business here in Pittsboro. I don’t understand why some people are so afraid of anything changing in town.

When the Piggly Wiggly opened after Lowe’s Foods left, many people seemed to believe that life was coming to an end. Life didn’t end, and I love the Piggly Wiggly and the friendly staff there. When the McDonald’s opened, some folks predicted that the entire population of Pittsboro was going to die of massive heart attacks and obesity.  We can’t force people to make the same food choices we might make, and I don’t believe there has been an increase in cheeseburger-related illnesses.
