I am volunteering for Brian Bock’s campaign and it’s been great to walk our neighborhoods as a big group every weekend to share Brian’s message. If you have a candidate that you support, a contribution greater than $$ is the time you can spare to help spread the message. They can all use our support! Kindly contact them through their websites if you are interested in helping with their campaigns and at the polls.

Let’s have a great year!! Hope to see everyone at the April 13th Candidates Forum.

In light of the recent earthquakes in Haiti and Chile, Chapel in the Pines Presbyterian Church will join churches across America to create Gift of the Heart hygiene kits.

Presbyterian Disaster Assistance, an emergency and refugee program of the Presbyterian Church U.S.A., is working with Church World Service to provide these needed essentials. Kits are kept on hand to enable quick movement of the supplies in the wake of a national or international crisis.  Current supplies have been depleted. The national group creates baby, cleaning and school supplies kits as well.

Each hygiene kit will contain a hand towel, washcloth, bar of soap, toothbrush, nail clipper, comb and six bandages. The church will collect funds to purchase these items, and it is estimated that $10 will create one kit.  Kits will be assembled on March 21 at 11:30 a.m. following morning worship at North Chatham School.

The goal is to create 100 hygiene kits.  If you are interested in making a donation or helping to assemble the hygiene kits, please contact Mary Pringle at outreach@citppc.org. Donations are tax-deductible and can be mailed directly to the church office: Chapel in the Pines Presbyterian Church 212 E. Rosemary Street Suite 101 Chapel Hill, NC 27514.  Checks
should be made out to Chapel in the Pines Presbyterian Church with hygiene kits in the memo line. Any donations received after the kits have been assembled will be sent directly to the Presbyterian Disaster Assistance fund.

Chapel in the Pines meets every Sunday morning for worship at 10:30 a.m. in the multipurpose room at North Chatham School on 3380 Lystra Road. Child care is provided. Sunday school classes for adults, youth, and children begin at 9:15 a.m.

Young adults in their 20s or 30s are meeting in a casual setting twice a
month to talk about what matters.  Theology on Tap, offered by Chapel in the
Pines Presbyterian Church, meets the first and third Thursdays of every
month at 5:30 p.m. at the Town Hall Grill in Southern Village.

Led by Scott Adams, the group meets twice a month to discuss current events
and theological questions of relevance to post-undergraduates seeking
answers as they navigate many life changes that occur after college. Adams,
known to many in the area as an ultramarathoner who ran across North
Carolina in the summer of 2008 to increase support and awareness of cancer,
holds a Masters in Divinity from Union Theological Seminary in Richmond, VA,
and also earned his Masters in Library Science from UNC where he now works.

The group tries to dig deep and be honest about a variety of faith-related
questions and discussion topics. Young adults of various perspectives,
backgrounds, denominations and faiths attend and encouraged to offer their
unique perspectives.

“It’s really laid back,” said Emily Davis, group coordinator. “Bring what
you will to the discussion.” Recent topics include being a missionary in war
ridden countries, politics and most recently the relationship between
Christianity and other faiths. Suggestions for future topics are welcome.

Interested? Our next gathering is scheduled for March 18. For more
information, contact Emily Davis at emilyrosedavis@gmail.com.

We’ve had AT&T /BellSouth at our home since we moved here in August.  While the first 2 bills were understandably wacky because of new installation, prorated charges, etc, they have been wrong since October.  I pay for unlimited long distance, yet every month, I get charged for long distance calls.  So, I spend 30 minutes on the phone with them to correct the problem.  They always credit the account, but have not done anything more, saying only that it’s a “known issue” and they’re working on it.  It takes them 4 months to fix this???  Not to mention that it’s not like they are calling me to notify me that they’re overcharging me….
So, is anyone else having this problem with AT&T/BellSouth?  Check your bills if you’re not sure.

More importantly, what other landline options are there?  We’re out off of Jones Ferry Rd., between Lamont Norwood & River Rd.

Thanks, Sarah

I have worked at a Chiropractors office and yes BCBS does cover Chiropractic services if he or she is in network. They have to be credentialed through BCBS.

Every insurance even Medicare covers Chiropractic to some degree if they participate with the company. Dr Hecht and Dr. Taylor in Chapel Hill take BCBS/State. They are in Timberlyne Place.

As you drive along 15-501 between CVS and Pittsboro, count the number of exits to the left.  There is a WHOLE BUNCH OF LEFT TURNS.

A driver who needs to turn left, has to drive in the left lane in order to do so.  And yes, that driver has to slow down before making the turn.  One of the things I really like about Chatham County is that most folks are very aware of this, and are kind and make the necessary lane adjustments.

I believe my comments about First Citizens were misinterpreted.   If you are traveling and the credit card  accepts your charges, then  why not let you know if there is potential cancellation, especially if you are  someone who has always paid on time.

May I suggest for fun, an  afternoon at the new Branch, listening to the blathering explanations  people receive to their questions. It is a good afternoon’s laugh and laughing  is good for the soul in this economy.  Quality service always depends  on the individual on the other side of the telephone, desk, or cash  register and hopefully the person being served will be  respectful. Kindness and good will should extend even in  banking.
