One more time the good folks of Chatham County have told Starkweather, in no uncertain terms, to sit down and shut up!  He’s not wanted, not needed, and should do something else, somewhere else.  Likewise for the other 2 stooges, Hammond and Nichols.  Good by!  Adios!  Bon voyage!  However ya wanna say it!

That’s what I say!!

Subject: Any square dancers in the area?

This Third Friday, in honor of the Milo Holt Festival, we will be doing a country/western theme.  I would love to have some square dancers for a demonstration/exhibition.  I grew up watching square dancing with my Dad so this always brings back the best memories of my childhood and I would love for others to see how much fun this can be.

Subject: Haw River Christian Academy – PBO Added Stipulations

The Town of Pittsboro has ADDED a very long and costly list of stipulations to the special use permit granted to the Haw River Christian Academy AFTER the town board voted to approve.

None of these stipulations were part of the public hearings leading up to the approval of the special use permit.

It is a lengthy list, they also seem well out of the range of normal stipulations for any business permit, special use or otherwise, they seem very very unusual.

Subject: Pollard talent show discrimination

My daughter came home from school last week to tell me of a talent show. She surprised me by telling me she would like to sing! Of course I encouraged her to. She chose a song “City on a Hill” by Casting Crowns. This week she came home with the guidelines. To my surprise it stated the music had to be secular.

Subject: poisonous allegations of voter fraud by Northwoodgirl

Photo ID?  Voter fraud?  What are we talking about?  If this was Philadelphia or Baltimore,  you might could have a point.  But I have heard no allegations of voter fraud in Chatham County.  What are you saying?  Do you actually know of some dead people who were fraudulently represented in our last election?  I may be wrong, but I don’t think so.
