FEARRINGTON VILLAGE COMMUNITY NEWS

FEARRINGTON HOMEOWNERS’ ROAD SAFETY COMMITTEE CAMPAIGN UPDATE

The FHA Road Safety Committee continues to carry out a campaign to encourage safe driving in the village. This effort is similar to the highly successful “Buckle Up America” campaign used in many states. The campaign slogan is “Fearrington Village—A Pedestrian Friendly Community” and the campaign logo is the “Speed Limit 25—All Roads” sign you see as you enter the village. The RSC campaign includes articles in the Fearrington Homeowners Newsletter, presentations to various service groups, a safe driving announcement included in the packet given to newcomers, liaison efforts with the Department of Transportation, and other initiatives.

At the very heart of this campaign is an effort to recruit “role models for road safety.” Every time we drive the posted speed limit and make a full stop at stop signs, we set a good example for others. Most drivers are inclined to mimic the driving habits of other village residents. If each of us sets the right example, vehicle safety problems should decrease.

CHATHAM HABITAT HOME STORES: GETTING THEIR ACTS TOGETHER

For the past two years, patrons of Chatham Habitat for Humanity's Home Stores have had to do a bit of traveling. The "Original" Home Store has been doing business at 467 West Street in Pittsboro, where its aisles have been crammed with household goods, furniture, and appliances. Meanwhile, " Home Store Too", which opened in 2003, has been selling building supplies, light fixtures, hardware, and plumbing fixtures at its rented quarters on Salisbury Street. There was some confusion among customers about which store was selling what, and where to look for the Habitat stores' wide variety of merchandise.

Now customers of both stores will enjoy "one stop" shopping as both stores move into new, larger, customized quarters. The "Original" Home Store will move to a new building behind its current one on West Street, with nearly double the retail space. "Home Store Too" will then move into the "Original's" rooms, which will net about a 50% gain in space from its rental quarters.

Customers will be able to park in one space and find bargains for all their building and household needs. Since all the profits go toward funding Habitat houses, "one stop" shopping should help Habitat realize its goal to eventually construct 10 houses annually.

Bob Gabor, a member of the Chatham Habitat Board who is heavily involved in the construction of the new space, urged all who have been involved with Chatham Habitat for Humanity to attend the grand opening celebration of both stores Tuesday July 5 at 10:30 a.m.

Gabor said, "We want to celebrate our volunteers, the folks who build the houses, the fundraisers, the people who price the items at the Home Stores and who come back week after week to man the cash register. Above all, we want this to be customer appreciation day. They are the ones who keep us going, who support the cause of decent affordable housing for those in need, who shop with us week after week, and make both stores viable."

The grand opening will feature music, food, and great bargain hunting as Chatham Habitat begins its next phase. Anyone with questions about the opening, or who wishes to donate goods to the Home Stores should call the Habitat Home Stores at 542-0788.

FHA BOARD AFFAIRS

JUNE FHA BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETING
(Complete minutes are available in the FHA office and on line by clicking here.)

Resident Input

Gathering Place Fees-Dale Smith, asked the FHA Board to consider leaving the Gathering Place (GP) fee schedule as is because the GP provides the essence of FV: to draw people together and provide a service. The GP should be accessible to organizations so its use is maximized. When he was FHA President he introduced the term reserve funds and now feels that is the wrong term; rather, the term should be irregular needs that come along from time to time. The GP is so important to FV’s quality of life that it would be better for FV if we kept the rates as low as possible. Tom Hauck responded that the fee increase was kept as low as possible so as not to place a hardship on any organization. Ron Boyington stated that although there seems to be a great deal of money in the reserve, major repairs are needed throughout FV, not just the GP. These needs include replacement of mail kiosks, landscaping, as well as many others.

Theft of Signs-Don Bonin lent a sign to a neighbor to use for his tag sale; it was stolen. Mr. Bonin learned the identity of the person who took the sign and contacted the sheriff’s department who investigated the incident. Joyce Berg and Pat Jackson have also had signs taken down, some as many as 4 times in one afternoon. Removing the signs is detrimental to all residents: the resident having the sale in lost sales, residents who cannot locate the sale and miss it, and residents who are inconvenienced because people come to their home in error. Tom Hauck indicated that the Board will be discussing this at the 6/13 working session and will write an article for the newsletter. The opinion was expressed that people may not realize that one sign per tag sale may now be placed in FV. This notice was published in the March newsletter.

Committee Reports

Gathering Place Tom Hauck reported for Edie Lange that 44 reservations were made for June, which is lower than the last several months. The fire marshal will inspect the Gathering Place 6/7. The Friday key person, Libby Coombs, is moving and Pat Aulik (283 Claymoor) will replace her.

Quality of Life Chair Drew Bratton reported on May activities.

Road Safety Committee - This committee announces organizational changes this month. Jack Traywick steps down as Chairperson. Guy Baird replaces him and Ann Dupree becomes Vice Chair. An active program of articles and promotional literature continues to alert all of us to the need to watch our speed in the community.

Asset Committee - The work is now complete. All of the FHA land, and capital goods have been inventoried with estimated replacement costs. The database will now be use to refine reserve estimates and forward thinking on insurance coverage. A HATS OFF for a job well done to all the members of this committee. Bob Flowers, Ron Boyington, John Custer, and Henry Castner.

Mail Kiosk – I would like to recognize a wonderful volunteer this month. Elaine Alexander. She has taken up the charge to neaten and organize the FHA mail kiosks. We all can see her progress, clean bulletin boards, neat internal kiosk areas, excess paper and materials removed. Help us keep your kiosks clean, it’s so important to our community image, an area we all visit daily.

Service Meeting- Was held in the month of May. Attendees were: Phil Smith, Janice Hunt, David McGrain, and Charlie Riddle . Special visitor was Bill Sommers to review further the next steps on the Annexation and Incorporation project.

25 Silver Anniversary- Committees are forming including a Communication, Social and Gathering Place all working to help stage and celebrate 25 years of successful resident governance.

FHA Office Activities. Pat Harkins, FHA Office Manager advises a total of 19,947 copies made. We still need volunteers for this summer. We have a new volunteer Carol Kurtz who has joined the office staff. A short training program can bring any interested volunteer up to speed.

The CPU- Contract Postal Unit Committee consisting of Bob Flowers, Vince Collura and myself met several times in May to review exiting regulations, the proposed contract for the business owner of this unit as well as several other issues. The report was given to Tom Hauck in preparation of a Public hearing to be held this fall.

Wireless Computer Capability for GP- Richard Bird and this computer team have come up with a program to offer the extension of computer wireless to the Swim Club. This capability is now under review by the Swim Club Board.

Grounds & Facilities Report. Tom Hauck reported for Ron Boyington that 3 mail kiosks have been cleaned inside and out and with the residents’ and Elaine Alexander’s help he hopes they will remain clean.

Covenants- Bob Oram reported that he, Paul Ising and Ingram Austin have drafted a non-compliance of covenant resolution process and have sent it to the service groups.

The next regular board meeting will be on Tuesday, July 5 at 7:00 pm in the Gathering Place. There will not be an August FHA Board meeting. Maggie Frantz, FHA Secretary

FEARRINGTON SIGN POLICY

There have been a couple of recent misunderstandings with regard to the Fearrington sign policy, particularly as it applies to tag sales. On February 1, 2005, the Board approved, one directional sign directing potential purchasers to the house where the tag sale was being held. The Board approved the use of the sign to reduce the number of non-Fearrington buyers wandering around looking for the tag sale address during the short time of the tag sale.

The policy was published (on page 7) in the March Newsletter thus the Board asks that the tag sale signs be left in place. Thank you for your help. Tom Hauck, FHA President

HEALTH AND FITNESS

NURSES NOTES FROM JOYCE BAIRD

I recently attended a course at the UNC School of Nursing titled: Summer “Bad Bugs” and Skin Problems. I will relay some interesting tidbits that I learned during the session: There were 90 reported cases of Lyme disease in 2004. How can that be? Some people who tell you that they “had Lyme disease” were actually treated preventively (without ever having been diagnosed with the disease). Therefore, the real incidence of Lyme disease is much lower than you would suspect just from hearsay.

It takes up to 8 hours for a tick to “set up shop” in order to transmit the bacteria responsible for tick borne illness. Therefore, if you remove a tick before it has begun to transmit the disease, you will not be infected. This fact alone should encourage you to check yourself (or your honey) whenever you have been outside.

15% of residents in Connecticut test positive for Lyme disease. Is it possible that 15% of this population has Lyme disease? No, it just means that 15% have been exposed to the bacteria responsible for Lyme at some point in the past - some got sick and were treated for Lyme previously, and some are actually infected at the time of the test. Even if you are treated successfully, the antibodies can persist for months to years following successfully treated or untreated disease.

Your pets can also get tick borne illness. You can get your pet vaccinated against Lyme, but not for other tick borne illness. Signs and symptoms of pet Lyme disease include itching, pain, appetite loss, lethargy, fever, swollen joints and lameness.

Do You Take 10+ Prescription Medications?

Do you take more than 10 prescription medications? Do you have trouble remembering when to re-order your medications and have difficulty making trips to the pharmacy to pick them up? I have recently learned of a service specifically designed for those who require multiple medications and who have difficulty managing all of the communications necessary to maintain an adequate supply of medicines. Some features of this service include synchronization of your routine medications so they all need to be re-filled at the same time, convenient scheduled delivery to your home, insurance filing on your behalf and compliance management, including communication with your physician. You can see from the array of services provided that this service was designed specifically for those with the most complex medication regimens. If you fall into this group, you need a referral for this service. Please call the nurse’s office (542-6877) to discuss whether or not this service is available to you. She will make a referral if you qualify.

Nurse on Vacation

Even nurses need to have a break every now and then. Joyce Baird, the Fearrington Cares nurse will be out of the office on vacation beginning Monday, July 18 returning Wednesday, August 4. The office will be staffed from 9 a.m. – 12 noon by our regular volunteer receptionists each day during her absence. If you need assistance during these hours you can call 542-1930 or come by the office. You can access regular volunteer services 24 hours/day by calling 542-1930. These services will continue on their regular schedule.

FEARRINGTON CARES AND THE INDEPENDENT LIVING INITIATIVES

Fearrington Cares is pleased to announce the formation of the Independent Living Resources Committee that will continue and further develop the excellent work of the Independent Living Initiative group. The new committee headed by Peter Thomas, Vice-president of Fearrington Cares, will consist of members from the Independent Living Initiative and Fearrington residents appointed by the Fearrington Cares Board.

The new committee includes:

Fearrington Cares’ Mission is to: promote wellness, increase the residents’ ability to manage their health and provide support to those persons with health challenges. The Independent Living Initiative was exploring systems/methods of providing services to enable residents to stay in their own homes by compiling information in a database easily accessed by Fearrington Residents.

As we establish the Independent Living Resources Committee, we bring together the energy, purposes, hopes, and resources that have already been expressed by both organizations in order to sustain the quality of life of all Fearrington residents.

A number of activities are underway which include the gathering and development of a comprehensive database, located at the Fearrington Cares office or on-line, with a variety of resources that may be accessed by Fearrington residents if they so desire. The Committee will notify residents when the information becomes available. The information will include:

Each Fearrington resident needs to be involved in the tasks of aging. This includes:

Making decisions about lifestyle, particularly in regards to nutritional, physical, and emotional health

Planning and making arrangement about end-of-life issues, including a living will and power of attorney

Having available support resources, including a “buddy” system if you live alone, in which someone is in touch with you every day and has a key to your home

A “panic button” if you are elderly, frail, or living alone

Giving information to Fearrington Homeowners’ Association regarding your next of kin or person to contact in case of an emergency.

The Committee will be glad to receive comments and suggestions from Fearrington residents.
