Subject: Liquor by the drink

    When I was a kid growing up in Wilmington, NC was a “dry state”. You cold only buy liquor at State ABC stores, in counties that permitted them. The common saying was that it was “the Baptists and the bootleggers” who kept NC dry. Now, there are only 4 “dry counties” in NC. We’re growing up.

But now, besides religious and commercial “reasons”, Jonathan (CC3280 # 1) has added anti-development as a “reason” for keeping liquor by the drink out of Chatham County. Gosh, we don’t want more development (by the Big Developers - of course, Big Anything is bad for these left-wing kooks) because this would bring more jobs, and attract “out-of-county’ people to come here.

He talks about the damage caused by development here in Chatham, specifically pointing to Hwy. 87. He doesn’t clarify what part of this road he is talking about. I recently went from Pittsboro to Moncure, and i am trying unsuccessfully to recall anything along the way that looked like “damage caused  by development”.

I think it would be nice to be able to go to one of the nice newer restaurants/bars in and near Pittsboro and order a Margarita or a Cosmo. Incidentally, do the religious objectors to alcohol think that Jesus Christ turned water into grape juice at the wedding feast at Cana? Let’s have a vote on the question of liquor by the drink!

Gene,Glad to share - Thanks for all you do!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Flintlock Morgan Horse Farm, Mann’s Chapel Rd, (Northern) Chatham, County
~~~~~~~~~~
 It all started quite by accident when in the early ’70’s  Pete & Gael Jaeger purchased a Welsh pony by the name of Strawberry Shortcake. Their young daughters* enjoyed driving in the carriage with their parents but soon they were learning the art of riding. They started at an early age, and what started off as a hobby with the family showing horses on weekends, turned into a business and prominent Morgan training stable in 1973.

The first Morgan arrived in the early ’70’s and of course was followed by more, and more. And although all were loved and their particular talents appreciated, the farm got more into performance and breeding as time went on.

The farm Management and Training program has been run by Rob and Anne Marsh for the past number of years. They came to us from Colorado where Rob met Anne. Since their arrival, they have added many top caliber Morgans to the Flintlock show string.  Similarly, they have added to their family, which now includes a daughter, Zoie, and a son, Zayden, - both promising show enthusiasts!

At any time there are 8 or more Flintlock Owned Morgans of all ages on the farm. Gael and Rob are
instrumental in selecting the breeding stallions for a number of the farm owned mares as we strive to produce one or two foals per year.  Rob and Anne train our older stock and the balance of the 28 stalls are for customer horses in training.

We are a mere 23 miles from a wonderful show facility (Gov. James B. Hunt Arena) in Raleigh, NC, and we attend a number of “A” rated shows there, starting with the Raleigh Spring Premier in April and ending the show season with the NC State Fair Horse Show in October.  Lexington, Virginia; Northampton, Mass and the Morgan World Championships in OKC are usual show stops for our farm tour during the summer months.

Our young daughters, Jamie Jaeger Fiocco* and Christine Jaeger Clark* are still involved with shows and Morgan horses.  Our oldest daughter Jamie owns the many time World Champion, Carmen Miranda, who she has owned and shown since she was a two year old mare. Christy, after a “time out” to have three children; Dylan, Garrett and Keaton Mae, has been back in the saddle and enjoys competing with some of the farm owned Morgans.

Our goals have not changed very much over the past 36 years.  We participate with Morgans to have fun, to promote our wonderful breed and to be able to impart knowledge to others so that they might be able to enjoy Morgans of their own both in and outside the show ring. We, Gael and Pete, have been honored in many ways by both the local club and the national association.  Our involvement transcends the Morgan breed as we have participated in everything from Pony Clubs (once located at Fearrington) to the N. C. Horse Council.

 We take pride in matching up new clients with Morgans that are suited to them, their abilities, their desires and perhaps even giving them new insight or new goals of their own.

Subject: yoga classes- Cathy Holt Yoga introduction

I am so glad that Gene gives us a chance to introduce our businesses. Every time I do I get some new and wonderful students!

I’ve been offering classes in Pittsboro for 9 years now.  It has developed into a wonderful, heartfelt, community gathering space, with classes held 6 times a week. Through breathing, meditation, movement and relaxation exercises, yoga joins body, mind, and spirit into a balanced whole. It can really be transformative!

The yoga classes nurture our need to awaken and to develop our human potential in a non-competitive environment. Almost immediately, your body responds and feels better, as yoga’s cleansing action begins to
rid your body of toxins and your mind of any negativity. This brings your body into a state that is receptive for healing. The poses activate and stimulate your circulation, digestion, elimination, the nervous system and the endocrine system. It is a slow, practical, thoughtful system for improving life.

Delcenia Turner says in Chatlist 3278 #2, that there has been a 53% explosion in the US population. She talks of “population estimates of 529 million people in 2008″.

The Census Bureau gives the figure at approx. 306 million, up from 281 million in 2000. Where does she get such a weird figure?

Volunteer opportunities with the Town of Pittsboro

Have an interest in Gardening?  The Town of Pittsboro would love to form or work with existing area Garden Clubs to help us enliven our public spaces including the Community House, Town Lake Park, the Town Hall and our Water Treatment Plant.  The Kiwanis Playground has recently benefited from a town - volunteer partnership to place flower beds and perennial plantings in the park.  We’d love to expand this success to other facilities as well.

This is a perfect way to connect with fellow gardeners, get some great exercise, and build civic pride while beautifying our community.  Garden club members will have the first opportunities to participate in plant
rescues, add variety to their gardens through plant exchanges and have the pleasure of knowing that they’ve brought smiles to many through their plantings.

Please contact Pittsboro’s Parks and Recreation Planner Paul Horne at phhorne@nc.rr.com or 542-4621 ext 62, for more information on how to get involved.

Greenway assessments:  The town has created a simple pocket sized assessment form to help us gauge where we can make improvements to our sewer easements to aid pedestrian and bicycle traffic.  If you’re already making use of these easements please let us know where we can add a bridge or steps, fill in a low spot, add a bench etc., to make your trip a little easier, safer and more enjoyable.  To obtain forms stop by the town hall or contact Paul Horne at phhore@nc.rr.com  to request a digital version that you can print

Subject: Join us at two Habitat for Humanity home dedications

You are invited to join the celebration as two Chatham Habitat for Humanity partner families are presented with keys to their new homes during a ceremony on Saturday, Dec. 6 at 11:30 a.m. at 1816 and 1808 Westmont Drive in Siler City. Attending a dedication ceremony is a great way to see what Chatham Habitat is all about. It is very moving to witness low-income families=92 dreams of homeownership coming to fruition after they have worked so hard.

The Cervantes Jimenez family hopes to move into their new home before Christmas and the Jimenez Rojo family before the New Year. These two houses bring the total built by Chatham Habitat to 85 throughout the county. For directions to Westmont Drive or to learn more about becoming a Chatham Habitat partner family, visit our web site at www.chathamhabitat.org or call (919) 542-0794 ext. 209.

About the New Homeowners

The Jimenez Rojo family came to Chatham Habitat through Javier Benitez, a local pastor and Chatham Habitat homeowner.  Maria and Arturo have four children: Catherine, age seven; Arthur age three; and twins Charly and Charline, age 6 months. They currently live in an overcrowded, two-bedroom trailer in Siler City along with Arturo=92s mother, Victoria.  They often feel unsafe in the trailer park where they currently live, as there are often people outside late at night and it is very dark. In their free time on the weekends the family likes to go to parties, watch sports like soccer, and go food shopping for the week ahead. Friends from church, from Arturo=92s job, and family members have helped them build their home and In turn, they plan to help others build their Habitat homes in the future. They are hopeful that their new home with lead to a better quality of life for themselves and for their children.

The Cervantes Jimenez family heard about Chatham Habitat for Humanity through an ad in their church newspaper and through another Chatham Habitat homeowner. Yaneli and Armando have two children: Samuel who is eight years old and Leslie who is two years old. They currently live in an overcrowded home with no heating, air conditioning, or effective ventilation. In addition, young Leslie is blind and the family looks forward to living in their new home where itwill be easier for her to move around. The family likes to spend time together playing games like soccer and going to the park and to their church, Centro Familiar Cristiano in Liberty.  Friends from the congregation as well as family members are helping them build their new home. The family is excited because their children will have rooms of their own and because they see it as an investment in their future.

About Chatham Habitat for Humanity:  Since 1989, Chatham Habitat for Humanity has worked to change substandard housing conditions throughout Chatham County by making homeownership possible for nearly 90 families. In the process, Habitat is able to transform lives, improve neighborhoods, and most importantly, give hope and strength to our communities.

It makes me sad to see some of the correspondence on the chatlist. There seems to be so much anger about things that are so insignificant. I’ve suggested this before and will again. that maybe you could use some of your time to volunteer for worthwhile causes or at least try to be kinder to your fellow man.

Master Potter, Mark Hewitt, celebrates 25 years in business and the 75th firing of his wood-burning salt kiln

Mark Hewitt, of Pittsboro, NC, marks a landmark achievement at the */16^th Annual Chatham Studio Tour /*the first two weekends of December. Chatham Artists Guild President Forrest Greenslade says, “Mark was one of founding artists in the tour, and remains a creative leader that all of our members respect and admire.”

In 1983 Mark Hewitt (www.hewittpottery.com) and his wife, Carol, found the setting of their dreams - a ramshackled farm house with enough out-buildings for a workshop, kiln and sales barn. More importantly it
was located in Pittsboro, NC, close enough to the clay deposits Mark needed to make wonderful pots, a good source of wood to fire his soon-to-be built wood-burning kiln, and plenty of potential customers within a few miles.

This month Hewitt will fire that same school bus-sized kiln for the 75th time, filled with over 1500 pots made by himself and three apprentices, Joseph Sand, Alex Matisse, and Eryn Prospero. “North Carolinians have a special affinity for pottery made in the same tradition as that of their parents and grandparents”, Hewitt reflected as he carried a board of swirl mugs into the partially packed kiln recently. “We have beautiful clays here and plenty of yellow pine to fire the kiln. I mix ashes from my wood stove and ground up glass for my glazes, and fire the kiln for several days to a temperature of 2300 degrees. Unloading the kiln is more exciting than Christmas morning.” And his customers seem to agree. Three times a year he opens a kiln load and they eagerly trek to his pottery a few miles east of Pittsboro to see and buy his wares. Hewitt has written extensively in the ceramic press and exhibited in London, New York, and Tokyo, as well as throughout the US, and is well-represented in museum and private collections.

From the enjoyment of its daily use, or as a pottery collector’s investment, Hewitt’s finely-made pottery has an intrinsic value and appeal. For this 75th firing, in addition to the swirl mugs, Hewitt has made several massive vases and planters, pitchers and jars of all sizes, plates and bowls, and even a tall wig-stand! Pots from this firing will be on display at the pottery during the first two weekends in December.

The festivities will include hot cider, cookies and other delectable treats from the Hewitt kitchen. The Kiln Opening starts with a preview Friday evening, December 5th from 4-7pm. Refreshments yes, but there are
no sales or reservations made until the next day, Saturday December 6th between 9am and 5pm. New pots are put out on the shelves for Sunday, when the sale resumes at noon. For those that can’t make the first
weekend, the pottery shelves are replenished for a second weekend, December 13th, 9am-5pm and December 14th, noon-5pm. All the pots are stamped with a 75 to commemorate the 75th anniversary firing, along with each maker’s mark. They range in size from a 54″ tall fluted vase, to several hundred lovely 5″ bud vases, tumblers, and mugs priced under $10.

Twenty-five years later, Hewitt and his wife, Carol, (who teaches and coaches other artists in the business skills needed to be a successful artist) are still delighted to have found Pittsboro, and the run-down old Johnny Burke farm. She says, “For twenty-five years, we have lived and worked as a team. Mark makes beautiful pots, I handle the bookkeeping and many of the marketing details, and we share in the important business plans and decisions. It’s a good life. I couldn’t ask for more.” In these uncertain times, that’s a lot.

Customers are also welcome to visit the pottery between kiln openings by appointment. Visits can be scheduled by calling 919-542-2371 or emailing mark@hewittpottery.com Directions and
more at www.hewittpottery.com .

Mark joins more than 50 artists on the */16^th Annual Chatham Studio Tour/*, who will display their work in their own studios scattered throughout scenic Chatham. Visitors to */The Tour/* are guided by a Tour Map and Brochure available at restaurants and shops through the Triangle area, and on the Guild’s website at: http://www.chathamartistsguild.org.

Specifically, brochures will be available at:
-Hewitt Pottery;
- North Carolina Museum of Art in the Raleigh Visitor Information Station located behind the Information Desk;
-Durham Arts in Durham;
-Aria Spa at Chatham Crossing in Chapel Hill;
-The Arts Center in Carrboro;
-The General Store Café in Pittsboro,
-Alamance County Arts Council in Graham.

Tour visitors will enjoy discussing art, the artists’ personal stories, and the process of creating unique art in the artists’ own environments.

Subject: RE: Liquor by the drink

I fall into none of those categories and am against liquor by the drink in Chatham.  I believe that if this is passed then many chain restaurants would start opening in Pittsboro.  These chains, in my opinion, litter the landscape with light pollution, poor architecture, traffic lights ( I could go on and on)  and open the door for more rezoning and development overall.  My point is that while it would be nice to simplify those who oppose liquor by the drink as anti alcohol or bootleggers, there are many other reasons why people oppose this.

As for all this talk of how much money we are losing here because of people traveling across county lines, it is really just that, talk. Unless there is data to back it up, it is no basis for making an argument.

We have all seen the damage created from development here in chatham, just drive down old 87. I agree it should be put to a vote but fear that if passed we will have an irreversible problem caused by the thirst for
indulgence.
