Chatham County Vegetarians
Yesterday at 11:03:45 PM by DC
Vegetarians, and their Hezbollah-like splinter faction, the vegans, are a persistent irritant to any chef worth a damn. To me, life without veal stock, pork fat, sausage, organ meat, demi-glace, or even stinky cheese is a life not worth living. Vegetarians are the enemy of everything good and decent in the human spirit, and an affront to all I stand for, the pure enjoyment of food.

No Chatham County Property Tax Increase for 3rd consecutive year

No Property Tax Increase for 3rd consecutive year
Great News! We have passed a 2013-2014 budget that stays focused on our core functions and keeps on the path to a a prosperous, thriving community.
We continue our strong support for education and public safety including increasing the teacher supplement funding to $3.8 million to help cover increased supplement costs the school system had been absorbing. We also allocated $500,000 in a one-time appropriation to the school system for replacement of laptops for all teachers in grades k-8.
We provided funding to many non-profit agencies that are providing vital work to alleviate problems caused by hunger, homelessness, mental health issues, family violence, and more at the same level as previous years. I want to thank the volunteers who reviewed applications of the agencies and helped us make the allocation decisions.
During our budget work sessions we agreed to use the "commissioner discretionary" funds to increase funding to the Boys and Girls club, Chatham Literacy Council, Family Violence & Rape Center, Hispanic Liaison, and Habitat for Humanity.
For the first time we have added to the budget an Agriculture civic center and exposition hall. Given that agriculture and agribusiness provide significant economic resources (over $105 million in 2012) and the county continues to expand its state leadership in farming, livestock, poultry, and dairy, we are long overdue for this type of facility. The economic development potential is very exciting and current plans are to have it built and open in 2016.
We owe a big thank you to the professional staff who were able to incorporate our goals into a budget to meet our current needs, plan for the future, and avoid a property tax rate increase for the third consecutive year.

Wilmington man charged with rape in Chatham County
A Wilmington man is in jail in Chatham County accused of raping his estranged wife.
The Chatham County Sheriff's Office Jesus Narciso Alvarez-Alba, 31, of Wilmington, had a domestic violence protective order issued against him by his estranged wife. Investigators say early Sunday morning he forced his way into her home in Moncure and raped her.
Deputies say they got a 911 call from the frantic woman. She told officers that she kept telling her husband to leave when he arrived at the house, but he kept refusing. He then held her down on the floor and raped her, investigators say. After he fell asleep, she contacted deputies, who arrested him while he was still at the home.
Alvarez-Alba is charged with felonious second degree rape, felonious second degree kidnapping, domestic criminal trespassing and violation of a court order. He was jailed under a $100,000 secured bond and is scheduled to appear in Chatham County District Court in Pittsboro July 29.

Churches saving lives, not just souls
by Dr. Terrance McGill | June 18, 2013 at 2:32 PM
http://thegrio.com/2013/06/18/churches-saving-lives-not-just-souls/#s:dsc_5379
his past Sunday, hundreds of churches across the country took part in the 5th annual Father’s Day Rally Against Prostate Cancer, organized by the Prostate Health Education Network (PHEN). During these rallies, church members share their personal stories and talk about the dangers and warning signs of prostate cancer.
PHEN was created in 2003 by Thomas Farrington who is also a prostate cancer survivor and has worked tirelessly to bring more awareness to the disease.
“Our focus is to eliminate the health disparity of prostate cancer in our community,” Farrington says. “What we are doing is a real aggressive campaign to educate and mobilize Black America in the fight against prostate cancer,” says Farrington.
“Knowledge about your risk level, your treatment options, managing survivorship rates. We have to educate the people where they are,” he continues.
Amongst the concerns that Farrington mentioned was how people were screened.
“The community has to press forward to address policy issues, the most concrete example is the Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) screenings,” states Farrington.
In May 2012, the United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) has recommended against PSA-based screening for prostate cancer. The rationale behind this change was to curb the chances of misdiagnosis and subjecting patient to testing and treatment they didn’t need.
However, some feel those recommendations are not appropriate for all men.
“The USPSTF should not include high-risk groups, such as African-Americans in their message of not being tested, because there is not enough data that pertains to African-American men,” explains Farrington.
One of the rallies took place at Mitchell Chapel A.M.E. Zion Church in Pittsboro, NC. Here they talked about the role of the rallies, while recognizing survivors, family members and community leaders who are all in the fight together to battle this disease.
The survivor
Cory Headen, 67, of Pittsboro, NC, is a prostate cancer survivor who credits routine visits to his physician as the reason his was detected.
“I was diagnosed in 2000. My doctor felt something funny on the digital rectal exam and checked it out,” says Headen.
Like most patients afflicted with prostate cancer it took him completely by surprise.
“I had no symptoms when I found out I had prostate cancer. I was scared, and the first thing that went through my head was that I was going to die,” says Headen.
Once he found out he told his family but kept the diagnosis quiet to everyone else.
“I felt it wasn’t anybody else’s business,” explains Headen.
He believes the reasons why people have reluctance to be screened was because of sexual identity.
“I would tell Black men to do it. You have to put your priorities in order. The first thing they think when they think about prostate cancer is my sex life is over.”
While he did have concerns about his sex life, he believed that his life was more important.
“My wife said I would rather have you alive than us having sex. And she was right, my life was important to me than [sex] because if I had put that over my life I wouldn’t have lived to see my granddaughter [be born],” add Headen.
He believes with technological advancements in the treatment of prostate cancer, that men would be less afraid to see a doctor.
“If they create something that would make it possible for men to have sex after the surgery then men wouldn’t have a problem getting the surgery, says Headen.”
“We have had many conversations here at the church about it and every man here was worried about their sex life,” says Headen
The family member
Ernest Alston, 67, of Pittsboro, NC had two brothers who were diagnosed with prostate cancer which changed his outlook.
“I had been getting yearly physicals even before then, but now I get PSA checked twice a year now. Seeing that my brothers were both diagnosed in their 60s and my uncle have cancer really made me aware,” says Alston.
Alston put aside his fears to get tested.
“I’m apprehensive every time I get a checkup because I had 2 brothers, and uncle and a first cousin that had it. But I had to get past that and get tested.”
The community leaders
The local coordinators from the church sees Father’s Day as the perfect time to speak out against prostate cancer.
“We [as a community] devalue Father’s Day and the role of fathers in the community. Our roles are important when we do it right,” says Reverend Anthony Davis of the Mitchell Chapel A.M.E. Zion Church.
Everyone had their own reason for joining in the fight but for Davis it was personal.
“I had a close friend who had prostate cancer and I am making good on a promise to not only to get screened but to also tell others to get screened,” adds Davis.
Davis feels that speaking out is the key and that Black Churches are growing silent about being healthy.
“The silent killer in our community is silence. I don’t think our churches are doing enough to promote health and wellness,” explains Davis.
“In the 21st century, social justice ministries really should move us to care about health disparities. [Pastors] don’t think about if our congregation are actually embracing health and wellness,” explains Davis.
Reverend Davis believes that some churches place a value on things other than the health and wellness of their congregations.
“Unfortunately, I think a lot of our churches have become distracted by the business of the day. Trying to stay afloat, trying to meet budgets. Our challenge is that we deal with things that are ministry minded but not actually ministry,” states Davis.
The next steps
However they feel that more needs to be done about the issue.
“There needs to be more advocates that take this issue on. Women with breast cancer have advocates with star power or a brand to get their point across,” says Davis.
In spite of things, Davis feels that these rallies have caused a big impact on the way people think about their health and that the numbers will reflect that over time.
“I believe my generation will have a higher number of people getting tested because of education and awareness. Once we have that to raise awareness, level of engagement will follow, explains Davis.

Bowler Jacquelyn Baker Nelson of Siler City, reaches 50 years at WC

Bowler Jacquelyn Baker Nelson of Siler City, reaches 50 years at WC
http://www.bowl.com/news/newsdetails.aspx?id=12884907862
RENO, Nev. - Jacquelyn Baker Nelson of Siler City, N.C., has enjoyed the camaraderie on the lanes at the United States Bowling Congress Women's Championships since 1963, and this week, she joined an elite club when she made her 50th tournament appearance.
The 73-year-old right-hander began her USBC Women's Championships career in Memphis, Tenn., and has been to every event since 1965. To commemorate the milestone, she received a plaque, gold necklace and medallion before taking the lanes for her team event at the Reno-Sparks Convention Center on June 10.
The variety of locations Nelson has been able to visit while attending the event each year has been a motivating factor in her continued participation. She has been to 38 different cities and 26 states during her career, and she appreciates what each host city has to offer.
"After growing up on a tobacco farm in rural North Carolina and never having been anywhere, the chance to travel to different places and get away is what kept me going," said Nelson, who bowls regularly at AMF Durham Lanes in Durham, N.C. "Each city had its own personality, and we enjoyed all of them. It's been fun. I've gotten the chance to meet a lot of good people."
The avid University of North Carolina basketball fan developed an interest in the tournament after attending a national convention as a delegate for her local association. Even though she missed her lone tournament in 1964, she made the coast-to-coast trip to the 1965 event in Portland, Ore., by bus.
NelsonJacquelynGifts2013LARGE"In Portland, myself and one of the other board members rode the bus all the way there and back," said Nelson, who worked at UNC for more than 37 years. "It was the only way we could afford to go. That really was a trip. We left late Thursday and got there Sunday."
Although she has seen the tournament evolve over the years, Nelson keeps her goals and game plan simple as she looks down the road.
"We've come a long way, baby," Nelson said. "It's amazing how much the tournament has changed, and it's so much more enjoyable now. I'm just going to try to stay active, so I can keep on trucking and make it to the next one."
In her 50th Women's Championships appearance, Nelson rolled sets of 483 in doubles, 456 in singles and 429 in team for a 1,368 scratch all-events total. She received an additional 30 pins of handicap per game to finish with a 1,638 handicap score in Ruby All-Events.
The Ruby Division is made up of bowlers with averages between 150-179 with handicap based on 100 percent of 180.
Presenting sponsors for the 2013 USBC Women's Championships include Circus Circus Reno, Eldorado Hotel Casino Reno and Silver Legacy Resort Casino Reno.

Town of Pittsboro BOC Public Hearing re: Chatham Park Rezoning
June 14, 2013, 10:32:07 AM by Frank
Our house is on a parcel adjacent to the proposed new Chatham Park, in an area far outside the present jurisdiction/ETJ of the Town of Pittsboro.
Yesterday, June 13, we received a letter in the mail from the Town of Pittsboro Planning Department, dated June 12. Since we do not live in Pittsboro, this is the first communication, on any matter, we have ever received from the town. So I have no previous experience/interaction with the town.
The letter advised us of an upcoming BOC Public Hearing regarding the Chatham Park rezoning application on June 24 and a series of 7 times/dates that Chatham Park consulting planner , Phillip Culpepper, is available to discuss it.
While I appreciated the notification from the town, I was extremely disappointed that 3 of the 7 dates that Mr. Culpepper is available had already passed. The two dates were June 11 and June 12, and the third was June 13 from 10-1. Remember this letter from the town is dated June 12 and was received June 13.
So I'm left to wonder, is this a simple oversight, a sign of incompetence, or an indication that the town of Pittsboro isn't really interested in receiving input from the citizenry and will rubber stamp anything that Chatham Park proposes?
