OFFICE MANAGER

The FHA needs an office manager to run the FHA business office, located in the Gathering Place, during the hours of 9:30 a.m. to noon, Monday through Friday. For the past year we have been on a quest to find a replacement for the current manager, Pat Harkins. Unfortunately, no one has stepped forward. If we are not able to fill this most important post, the FHA Board may need to make decisions that will change the way we have enjoyed the services provided by this office. Please consider volunteering. Interested residents should contact Jim Ackerman, at 542-5288 or jimackATearthlink.net. Drew Bratton, FHA President

BOARD ACCEPTS RESIGNATIONS OF ROAD SAFETY COMMITTEE MEMBERS

The FHA Board accepts with regret the resignation of the Road Safety Committee (RSC) members who have resigned. We recognize that honest differences of judgment about how best to deal with the problems of road safety in Fearrington Village have caused the RSC to resign. However, the Board and the members of the RSC continue to share the same goal of road safety in Fearrington Village, differing only on the ways to realize that goal most effectively.

In the year since the RSC was constituted by the FHA, real progress has been made in the community, based upon the two-year educational campaign that was instituted at the time the RSC was established. The FHA Board acknowledges the fine effort made by each of the committee members and thanks the committee members for their service. The FHA Board will continue to provide an ongoing educational effort regarding road safety and compliance with traffic laws and speed limits on Fearrington roads. Drew Bratton, FHA President

A LOOK AT FHA BOARD POSTS: GROUNDS & FACILITIES

This year we are trying to explain the major FHA Board positions. Each board member will highlight his or her department so that the community can better understand what each volunteer board member accomplishes for Fearrington. This month we feature Carol-Ann Greenslade, Director, Grounds and Facilities. Drew Bratton, FHA President

With the lions share of the FHA budget (41%) going to Grounds & Facilities (G&F), you are certainly entitled to know how that allocation is spent. The function of the G&F director is to maintain and improve the buildings and land parcels that are owned by the FHA, which will in turn maintain and improve the quality of life enjoyed by our residents. In addition to the care of our own properties, the G&F director also interacts with the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) to report road conditions on our state roads that need DOT's attention; with Progress Energy to report burned-out street lights in the areas FHA maintains (areas without their own service groups), and with the various private contractors employed by the FHA.

Our largest contract, with 4Ever Green Landscapers, amounts to $30,000 for mowing along the roadsides where the FHA is the servicing body, and mulching and trimming the various garden areas in those same sections. We also contract with Foster Lake & Pond Management for $2,252, in the area of the Beaver Pond for 2006.

Among our projects for 2006 will be the repainting of the Smokehouse Kiosk, the installation of a concrete sidewalk within the curbing around the Gathering Place and reconfiguration of the parking lot to increase both car and pedestrian safety; ongoing siding repairs to the Gathering Place and adjoining Swim & Croquet Kiosk.

We saved some budgeted funds with the kind assistance of R.B. Fitch in the restoration of the Swim & Croquet walking path and repair of the Smokehouse Kiosk. We hope that, with his offered assistance, we will see the installation of a walkway from Swim & Croquet to Galloway Ridge. R.B. has also agreed to leave grass walkways over future sewer lines to assist us in the long-range development of a walking path network throughout our village.

Remediation of the silting problem with Beaver Creek and Beaver Pond is an ongoing effort between G&F, our intergovernmental liaison director and various branches of the state and federal governments. We do not anticipate expenditures this year but have taken the various remedies into account in our Reserve Fund budgeting beginning in 2007.

Finally, before our 25th Anniversary celebration, we will be installing a flagpole in front of the Gathering Place, which many feel is long overdue.

I always appreciate your calls reporting problems you observe. When you see a burned out streetlight, stop and write down the pole number. When you see a road problem, note the road number on the street signpost. If you are in doubt as to whom to call about what, look at the Handbook/Directory. Pages 2 through 9 will tell you. The maps on pages 83 through 86 will show which parcels belong to the FHA. When still in doubt, call me, and if I cant help, Ill help you find out who can.

FEARRINGTON WOMEN'S CLUB NEWS

Professor To Speak About Mysteries

Rhoda Berkowitz, Professor of Law Emerita at the University of Toledo, will address the Womens Club on Wednesday, April 19 at 3 p.m. at the Gathering Place. Her topic will be A History of the Mystery: From Edgar Allan Poe to Post World War II.

Professor Berkowitz has been reading mysteries since college days. As a young woman, she attended a public library series called Booked for Lunch that tended to be very scholarly. To lighten up the topics, they invited their most avid mystery reader to give a talk about mysteries. This is the origin of the talk that she will present to the FWC.

Educated at Mount Holyoke College, she completed her law degree at Yale University. Professor Berkowitz taught law at the University of Toledo College of Law in Toledo, Ohio for 30 years. She specialized in family, criminal and juvenile law and torts.

Rhoda and husband Roger have lived in Fearrington for the last two years. She is active in a variety of organizations, including Friends of the Pittsboro Memorial Library. You will not want to miss this very special presentation about the mystery.

Book, Bake and Boutique Sale a Success

The FWC Book, Bake and Boutique Sale in February was a resounding success. Approximately $5,500 was earned for Chatham County charities. Congratulations to the many FWC members who participated in the Book, Bake and Boutique activities and sale. Thanks also to many other Fearrington and Galloway Ridge residents who contributed to this event and were also enthusiastic customers. Without the assistance of many people, this project would not be a success.

Gift-A-Book Project Is Complete

Residents of Fearrington Village have generously supported the Story Time Gift-A-Book project. All 44 books on the wish list have been donated. In addition, a total of $150 cash donations have been received. The total financial contribution to this project is $645.

Volunteers who read with the Story Time Project and children who benefit from their services are delighted to have so many new books for their use. The children are especially thrilled to have new stories to enjoy.

Thank you to Fearringtonians who have supported this project for Chatham County children. Your support addresses the important developmental skill of reading for children at an early age.

The Chatham Habitat for Humanity Home Stores are celebrating their 15th anniversary this summer. And so Chatham Habitat is inviting all Fearrington artists to help celebrate. If you are an artist professional, amateur or aspiring come into the Home Stores and pick out an item (or items) that you would like to transform into art. Habitat will give you the item to take home and paint or weld or sculpt or dismantle and reconfigure to convert the piece into a work of art. Bring it back, and Habitat will sell the piece through a silent auction.

The auction will run through May and end on Saturday, June 3, so the artwork should be back by Monday, May 1. (If you need a few extra days, there is some wiggle room.) All proceeds will go to Chatham Habitat to help build homes for Chatham County families.

The artists will have their pictures and contact information on the Habitat web site (www.chathamhabitat.org). You may also submit a card with your artwork with more information about yourself.

HEALTH AND FITNESS

NURSE'S NOTES FROM JOYCE BAIRD

Fat, Fat, Everywhere, Fat

Are you confused about all the kinds of fat in foods? Just because a food label says "Low-fat" or "Fat-free" doesn't mean that it is good for you. The fats in these foods have been removed, and undesirable, non-nutritive alternatives (refined sugar, chemical fat substitutes or artificial sweeteners) have been substituted for the fat. So living the no-fat or fat-free way is not necessarily good for you.

So what is the truth about fats? The unhealthy fats are "saturated" fats and are solid at room temperature (butter, shortening); trans-fats are "hydrogenated," which is a process that turns liquid oils into unhealthy solids. Margarine is actually a "hydrogenated" liquid fat that is turned into a solid. Therefore, butter is actually a healthier alternative.

Polyunsaturated fats are the more healthy fats and are liquid at room temperature corn, fish, hemp, pumpkin seed, soybean, sunflower, sesame and safflower oils. There are actually two types of polyunsaturated fats Omega-3 and Omega-6. Omega-3, the good O mega, is derived from fish, nuts and seeds. Omega-6 is derived from polyunsaturated fats. The typical diet has a ratio of 15:1 in favor of Omega-6; however, the ideal ratio of Omega-3 to Omega-6 is 1:1.

So, how do you incorporate this information into diets? These simple tips may help:

When cooking, use a healthy saturated fat such as organic virgin coconut oil.

As a healthy snack alternative, choose sprouted nuts and seeds that are rich in Omega-3 essential fatty acids.

Incorporate organic flax meal into your favorite recipes, since its a great source of Omega-3 essential fatty acids and fiber.

Supplement your diet with mercury-free high- quality fish oil, which is a rich source of Omega-3.

Eat more wild Alaskan salmon and minimal-mercury tuna. Remember to only choose wild fish. Farm-raised fish contain very little Omega-3, since they are fed land-based diets devoid of Omega-3. Fish obtain ample amounts of Omega-3 naturally through their wild diet.

Use olive oil as a healthy salad dressing.

Choose raw butter, cream and whole dairy products rather than low-fat or fat-free versions. Check the product labels. Many low-fat versions contain unhealthy additives to make up for the lack of taste from fat.

Committee (Board Member) Reports

Please see the mail kiosks, the FHA office or the FHA web site (click here) for individual board member reports, with the exception of the following:

Ingram Austin Financial Officer

Ingram explained that eight property owners haven't paid their 2006 dues in spite of three mailed notices and other attempts at communication such as phone calls, e-mails anPeripheral Neuropathy Group to Meetd faxes.

Ingram made the motion that the delinquent members be advised now that the amount due includes interest and that the board is going to vote on the issues of placing a lien on the affected property, filing in small claims court and suspension of voting rights and facility privileges. Ingram also moved that an amount up to $1,000 be approved for the expense of legal counsel in this matter. The motions were seconded by Gillian Cell, and both motions carried unanimously.

Old Business

Legal counsel was sought regarding a request for disclosure of individual board members views on asking law enforcement officers to begin ticketing in Fearrington. According to counsel, the board is not required to provide this information regarding individual board members opinions.

A lengthy discussion ensued during which many of the residents present expressed their thoughts and concerns about speeding and safety on Village roads. In conclusion, it was agreed that this is an important issue and the board continues to support the Road Safety

Committee in its educational campaign to discourage speeding and other unsafe driving habits on Village roads.

At the request of Ann Deupree, chair of the RSC, the following statement was read:

"The RSC reviewed the activities of the past year and asked for Board support in a phased program in Fearrington Village, to include:
 a. An awareness program to express our concerns that vehicle speed by construction workers, vendors, visitors and residents continue to threaten road safety in Fearrington Village.
 b. Discussion with law enforcement to request increased presence of patrol cars, with the potential for issuing warnings and tickets for speeding and other traffic violations."

Reconfiguration of Gathering Place Parking Lot Carol-Ann Greenslade

Carol-Ann presented a diagram of the proposed parking lot changes. It was suggested that an educational campaign take place before making any changes in the signage and direction of the traffic pattern. Henry Castner was thanked for his contributions to the plan and asked to provide guidance regarding the implementation of more changes.

New Business

The following motions were made by Carol-Ann Greenslade in regard to reconfiguration of the Gathering Place parking lot, painting of the Smokehouse kiosk, Gathering Place sidewalk, flags and flag pole purchase and installation:


Motion to appropriate $6,620 from the Reserve Fund for exterior improvements to the grounds of the Gathering Place as follows:

1. For the construction of a 4 foot-wide sidewalk inside the existing curbing around the lawn surrounding the Gathering Place, an appropriation of $6,270 ($5,700 plus a 10% contingency overage). Contract for the work will be awarded to Eric Pugh Concrete. This work is being done to increase the safety and convenience of those entering and leaving the Gathering Place.

2. For the purchase of a 20-foot tapered anodized aluminum flag pole kit and two 5x3-feet nylon flags from Peachtree Business Products, an appropriation of $350 ($315 plus contingency overage). Installation will be by Fearrington volunteers in front of the Gathering Place.

Motion seconded by Jim Bond and the motion carried unanimously.

Motion to appropriate $3,000 from the GrPeripheral Neuropathy Group to Meetounds & Facilities Operating Budget Account for the following repairs and changes to FHA properties:

1. For the reconfiguration of the parking lots of the Gathering Place and the Swim & Croquet kiosk, based on a plan developed by Henry Castner and approved by the FHA Board of Directors and by Orv Connor for Fearrington Cares, an appropriation of $500 ($455 plus 10% contingency) for paint and stencils. Supplies will be purchased from Peachtree Business Products. Painting will be done by volunteers with the use of a striping machine borrowed from Fitch Creations. This project will increase the number of parking places and facilitate safer and easier parking and exiting in the rear of the parking lot. Further discussion of the traffic flow may result in other changes in traffic direction, once residents have had a chance for input.

2. For the repainting, inside and out, of the Smokehouse mail kiosk (except for the locked mail sorting room), an appropriation of $2,500. Contract for the work will be awarded to Hilltop Painting Service, Dan Saunders, owner.

Motion seconded by Bill Stempfle and the motion carried unanimously.

Jim Ackerman made the following motion for Lowell Kennedy, director of the Gathering Place, in his absence: Move to expend, from budgeted Gathering Place improvement monies, a sum not to exceed $1,200 ($1,320 including contingency) to purchase and install items to make the FHA office storage room a more efficient and useful space. Items to be purchased include sections of steel frame shelving, 4 drawer file cabinets, a safe and a vacuum cleaner. The motion was seconded by Carol-Ann Greenslade and it carried unanimously.

Resident Input

Resident input took place throughout the meeting, primarily during Old Business.

Additional resident comments at the end of the meeting reflected several residents dissatisfaction with the board's decision not to request law enforcement presence and ticketing in Fearrington Village. The board continued to stress the need for an education campaign covering resident driving habits as they relate to speed.

The meeting adjourned at 8:45 p.m. with a motion by Ingram Austin and a second by Carol-Ann Greenslade.
