I’m seeing the news about Vinfast scaling back plans for the size of their site in Moncure. But I’m wondering what’s happening with the eminent domain actions for the homes and church at Old US 1 and New Elam Church Road. Is that moving forward as planned? That was soContinue Reading
36 years ago chatham county roads were in great condition. The sides picked up of trash and the coverys along side of the roads kept clear. This is no longer true. Why? Our taxes have increased so why has the service gone down hill. Especially the roads connecting garbage centers.Continue Reading

Honey, you got your head in the clouds. The ‘chemtrails’ conspiracy theory was old when these here hills were young. What you’re seeing are called “contrails” — it’s what happens when the engines on jet planes exhaust into air that’s colder than their exhaust. You go up a mile orContinue Reading
From: Ed Beroset Sent: Monday, June 13, 2022 at 09:30:00 AM EDTSubject: Sky A recent chatlist post was lamenting “chemical dumping” and “horrendous temperatures” and attributed it to the mysterious “they”. In fact, as the most recent Chatham County Greenhouse Gas Inventory (seehttps://chathamnc.legistar.com/View.ashx?M=F&ID=9615112&GUID=4BEA1497-0F38-4065-A313-6C50640089A7 ) showed, it’s not “they” but “us”.Continue Reading
I walked out to the pasture late noon and the sky was coated with chemical dumping.There were lines just being dumped and others that had already spreading, coating the sky from horizon to horizon with a grey milky cast.This crap has been magnifying the suns heat and rays. In theContinue Reading
I posted a video of the runoff from the commercial property next to Northwood across the school’s cross-country trail. It was brought to the attention of the Chatham County staff. The county issued a notice of violation to the developer. I understand corrective actions were taken last week Stopped byContinue Reading
Thanks to Gene for the video documentation of the run-off from the CPI property onto the Northwood track/trail. It is important to realize that run-off accumulates. Run-off accumulates not just on high school track and trail, but other kinds of “run-off” — whether it be air pollution, water pollution, orContinue Reading
Virtually, I just went on a wonderful walk and talk with Gene and Eric Williams. I had no idea such a great trail through the woods exists at the high school. So, early this morning I watched the video on my phone as I had a cuppa wake-up brew. AndContinue Reading
It will be interesting to see what the removal of mature trees will do for our 13 year cicada emergence that should be happening in 2024. The last one was an amazing act of nature within the city because of old those trees. One thing for certain is with theContinue Reading
Friends of the Lower Haw will be holding another invasive species removal day. We are holding an invasive plant removal workday with State Parks biologists on Saturday, June 18th from 8:30 am to 12:00 noon in the Bynum Mill area.

Not sure of which one of you needs to be aware of this. Apparently the erosion controls Chatham Park Investors have in place in the commercial area butting up against the Northwood cross-country trail are not working sufficiently. Here’s a video of that part of the trail from this morninghttps://youtu.be/JVt4rtNGZkUContinue Reading
It’s not the outsiders moving into Chatham County that bother me nearly as much as those wanting to buy my land. I get several offers every month offering to buy my land “because they have some money they would like to invest in land.” Their ridiculous offers are less thanContinue Reading
Since Fiocco, Baldwin, and Nass have *never* earned Sierra Club endorsement in any of the FIVE election cycles in which they’ve run (2009, 2013, 2017, 2019, 2021), even if Virginia Penley’s story were true (Chatlist #7115), I find it very hard to believe that their endorsement applications were lost in theContinue Reading
The Friends of the Lower Haw State Natural area will be holding another invasive species removal day. We had so much fun and removed so much that we wanted to do it again! Hoping that you will join us this time. However, (there always seems to be a however theseContinue Reading
