Subject: New pollinator exhibit at NC Botanical Garden

I was thrilled to collaborate with the staff at the North Carolina Botanical Garden to create a new pollinator exhibit: Behold the Humble Pollinators. The exhibit highlights Cooperative Extension’s demonstration pollinator garden at Chatham Mills.

You can see the NCBG’s press release about the exhibit at http://bit.ly/9qX3tZ

Have a great weekend,

Subject: US64 Corridor Improvements

The DOT presentation on the Superstreet concept to the planning board was complete. The timeline is twenty to thirty years for implementation of Superstreet, with long range option to change to a limited access highway, like US 421 to Greensboro. A necessary and needed improvement.

The NCDOT has always been proactive in soliciting public input. Thorough traffic counts are done continuously. For the Pittsboro by-pass project, meetings were held years in advance. One of our former commissioners sat on the highway project board at DOT. What a great highway and relief for Pittsboro traffic it has been. Newcomers do not realize that around half the traffic during weekdays and nights was heavy trucks negotiating the circle, limited to travelling through Pittsboro.

Subject: Decisions made in the May 4th Primary could shape the future of Chatham County

This May 4th Republican and Unaffiliated voters will make important choices that could effect the future of our great county. What an exciting time in Chatham to have so many Republicans running in Primaries!

Many of the candidates have websites that I would like to share with everybody to help in making these critical decisions on May 4th. Also, the Chatham County Republican Party is holding a Candidates Forum on April 13th at the District Courtroom in Pittsboro at 7:00 pm.

Subject: Hygiene Kits for Disaster Assistance

In light of the recent earthquakes in Haiti and Chile, Chapel in the Pines Presbyterian Church will join churches across America to create Gift of the Heart hygiene kits.

Presbyterian Disaster Assistance, an emergency and refugee program of the Presbyterian Church U.S.A., is working with Church World Service to provide these needed essentials. Kits are kept on hand to enable quick movement of the supplies in the wake of a national or international crisis.  Current supplies have been depleted. The national group creates baby, cleaning and school supplies kits as well.

Subject: AT&T landline billing

We’ve had AT&T /BellSouth at our home since we moved here in August.  While the first 2 bills were understandably wacky because of new installation, prorated charges, etc, they have been wrong since October.  I pay for unlimited long distance, yet every month, I get charged for long distance calls.  So, I spend 30 minutes on the phone with them to correct the problem.  They always credit the account, but have not done anything more, saying only that it’s a “known issue” and they’re working on it.  It takes them 4 months to fix this???  Not to mention that it’s not like they are calling me to notify me that they’re overcharging me….
So, is anyone else having this problem with AT&T/BellSouth?  Check your bills if you’re not sure.

Subject: Aria Skin & Laser Spa introduction

Aria Skin & Laser Spa is a Medical Day Spa.  Many of you do not know the difference between a day spa and a medical day spa.  Basically, we are more driven by results than a normal day spa would be.  We are supervised by, and offer the services of, a board certified plastic surgeon.  In fact Dr. Damitz is the Associate Chief of Plastic Surgery at UNC Hospital.  By having a physician supervise our facility we are able to offer so many things that a day spa can’t.  The products we sell are available only through physician supervised businesses and is stronger and more effective than the products sold at department stores and day spas.  Our microdermabrasion machine, IPL machine and lasers are not available at a day spa.
