Is Chatham County’s future on the line?

Subject: Chatham County’s future? on the Line

Chatham County,

Chatham County is facing an environmental crisis; Jordan Lake is impaired and
Fracking is likely to be forced on us and the main discussion on the
chatlist is snakes and recycling.  Oh we have those big time! Chatham County
also has a few commissioners that don’t seem to be able to think for
themselves.  Remember the game, “follow the leader”. Even if that leader is
taking Chatham County over a cliff.    Where is the research and hard facts
to backup their decisions of the draft Cary Land Use Map with Chatham County?
  Many areas of this recent map should be up for an intense review.  Wake
up every body, we are in trouble.    ****

And yet another cycling accident near Jordan Lake

From: Alfred Wyllie
Subject: And yet another cycling accident near Jordan Lake

Having just caught up with the news of the recent hit and run incident in North Chatham County in the Raleigh paper, where comments were abundant on both sides of the issue of cyclists on the roads, it is perhaps time to remind those cycling on the roads around Jordan Lake that certain risks must be accepted in this sport, just as risks have to be accepted when skiing down a mountain.  There are many boat trailers traversing these roads and many drivers have no idea whether their boat trailer tires are on the road or not.  The sun is going down in the afternoons, often creating glares on the windows of motorists when many are cycling and not clearly seen.
