Subject: Yeah, Northwood has a new girls’ golf team
Had a chance to sit down with Karen Crisp, the coach of the new Northwood Girls’ Golf Team. The team had a scrimmage with St. Mary’s of Raleigh scheduled for this afternoon.
We talk about how the team got started, what the goals are for this year and for future years. The current team consists of 3 freshmen and 2 seniors. Coach Karen hopes to build the team up to 8 to 10 players in future seasons. Anyone interested in potentially playing on the team next year can contact the coach now.

Subject: Do you have any problem deer? Have bow, will travel
I am an avid bow hunter and relatively new to the Pittsboro area. I am teaching my seven-year-old son responsible bow hunting practices and would like to take him somewhere local.
If you have any deer that you would like to have harvested (all meat will be put to good use and/or shared with landowner), I would be happy to oblige. And, by the way, venison is some of the healthiest red meat there is and is naturally low-fat and hormone-free. Call 545-9124 or email at chinn_cannon@hotmail.com

Note: this is a compilation of brief clips I shot on the field. It isn’t purty, but it gives you an idea of what went on. If you have high-speed internet go with the higher quality version.
If you weren’t there you missed a goood time as five teams took turns scrimmaging on the main football field. Two teams went against each other on each half of the field with one sitting out the session. 10 offensive plays and 10 defensive plays. Then move on against another team.

Subject: clarification for Ed
For the sake of accuracy, the location of the soccer event was north Johnston County, and the anti-Hispanic rant of the moms and the players was by another team, NOT the Northwood team and parents.

Chatham Residents Invited to Provide Input on Northwest Park
PITTSBORO-Chatham County’s Parks and Recreation Department invites county residents to visit its newest park property near Silk Hope, while also sharing their ideas on what the future Northwest District Park should include.
“We have scheduled a session for the public on Thursday, August 21 for residents to visit the park site, which used to be Camp Maranatha Springs,” said Tracy Burnett, director of Parks and Recreation. “The public can stop by anytime between 8 am and 7 pm to get information and to offer their perspective on how the park should be developed and what facilities are most needed.”

Subject: Proud to be a Northwood Parent
The most outstanding thing I witnessed on Saturday at the North Johnston high school soccer jamboree was the display of team spirit and good sportsmanship demonstrated by the young men of the Northwood Varsity Boys Soccer Team throughout the day. Even down to sincerely thanking the folks who provided the refreshments between games and picking up their garbage!!!!
Northwood won all three matches, against 4A West Johnston, 3A Fike and 3A Hunt. Awesome outing for the new year. (By the way, Goalie Zac Scott holds onto a beautiful zero against all opponents thanks to resilient teamwork and some clever saves.)

Hello Chatlist readers -
I’m sure someone out there knows the answer to my question - I sent in registration forms for my 2 boys to play football this fall (1st time for both), and I never received confirmation that the forms were received or that my kids had been accepted into the league. This week, my husband noticed that practices have started. Should we just show up? I checked the website, and couldn’t find a phone number to contact. How does this league work? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
