SUMMER CHANGES
FHA OFFICE HOURS ABBREVIATED
At its meeting on June 6, the FHA Board voted unanimously to accept the
recommendation of the ad hoc committee appointed by President Jim Ackerman
to consider the future of the FHA office when Pat Harkins retires as office
manager on June 30.
The committee recommended that, for the months of July and August only, the
office be open from 9:30 a.m. to noon on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
During those two months, in which the office is less busy than normal, it
will be staffed by volunteers, organized and scheduled by Mary Lou Einloth.
The board will continue to consider how the office should be staffed after
August.
NO
BOARD MEETINGS IN JULY OR AUGUST
There will be no FHA Board meeting in July or August. The next scheduled
meeting is Tuesday, September 5 at 7 p.m. at the Gathering Place.

NEW FACES ON THE WEB
SITE AND E-MAIL LIST
Among the many valuable services that Bob Comey has provided to this
community, and for which we all should be grateful, are his contributions to
the FHA Web Site since its inception and his creation and maintenance of the
FHA E-Mail list. Unfortunately for Fearrington, Bob and Sallie Comey will be
leaving us shortly. We are fortunate that three people have stepped forward
to volunteer their services for these two tasks.
Website Home Page: Don Niedringhaus (542-0480;
Donald.NiedringhausATprodigy.net) assumes responsibility for maintaining
the web site’s home page and the What’s New page. If you have items, such as
upcoming events or general information that you want to share with
Fearrington residents and wish to see published on these pages – the home
page contains short items, the What’s New Page contains longer items with
links from the home page – please contact Don. If it is not obvious from the
content of the item, be sure to let Don know when the information in the
item expires.
FHA Mail List: Maggie Tunstall (542-0031;
metunstallATnc.rr.com) assumes
responsibility for maintaining the e-mail List. If you have an urgent
message that needs to be e-mailed to the 900-plus addresses on the list,
contact Maggie. Ted Bonus (542-4617;
tbonusATearthlink.net) is Maggie’s backup when she is not available.
Please keep in mind that the e-mail list is for time-sensitive messages that
apply to the whole community. The list is not an appropriate medium for
items that are of interest to only a subset of the community (such as the
members of a club or organization) or can be or have been publicized in the
newsletter. The complete policy statement on the use of the list can be
found at http://66.39.108.108/archives/ComputerPolicy/MassMailings.htm. –

WHAT’S GOING ON IN AND
AROUND FEARRINGTON
DUPLICATE BRIDGE MEANS BILLIONS OF FUN
Any time a bridge player picks up his 13 cards, he has the potential of 635
billion combinations. Therefore, the fun of bridge is that no game of bridge
is like any other. That is true for an individual. But when duplicate bridge
is played, all of the tables play the same hands. The challenge for you as a
player (with your partner, it is hoped) is to play the hand or defend it
better than the other participants in the room.
We play every Wednesday throughout the summer beginning at 1 p.m. at
the Gathering Place. Fearrington Duplicate Bridge Club members meet to hone
their skills and vie for the honor of playing an afternoon of bridge hands
better than the others in the room. We have fun!
Anyone is welcome to join us. The first time you play there is no cost.
After that, we charge $4/time to cover the cost of renting the room,
supplies and hiring a director. We have a list of substitutes. Please call
Annette Levine, 545-9811, or Jean Hjelle, 545-0432, if we can help you
tackle some of those 635 billion hands.

THE MUSIC SCENE
MUSIC IN THE AIR PENCILS IN FALL SCHEDULE
Music in the Air completed its abbreviated spring season on June 11. We had
good crowds for the two performances, so we will keep Music in the Air. We
are fortunate to have the cooperation of the Swim & Croquet Club and the
Gathering Place for these concerts.
The fall schedule is just about set. The idea was to engage a good mix of
what I have been hearing supporters appreciate. All performances will be on
Sunday afternoon, 4:30-5:30 p.m. For the first two performances, we have the
Swim & Croquet Club upper lawn. The last two performances, scheduled for
late October, will be held in the Gathering Place, as the pool will be
closed. The fall schedule will look like this:
September 24 – Durham Savoyards, Gilbert and Sullivan, Patience.
October 8 – Sugar Hollow, an all-female quintet singing and playing
folk, old favorites and their own creations.
October 22 – Jazz, Heart of Carolina Sextet, big band sound (subject
to final confirmation).
October 29 – New Hope Players, flute and string quartet featuring a
program of songs from Mozart favorites, including, of course, The Magic
Flute.
Of course, as always, these concerts are free. We pass the hat for a vote of
appreciation from the audience. I am keeping an e-mail list of folks who
want to be kept informed of news and developments, reminders, etc. If you
wish to be added to this list, send me a message at
efchetwyndATaol.com. -- Eric

AN INVITATION TO JOIN VILLAGE
VOICES
You are cordially invited to join Village Voices, the women's chorus of
Fearrington. The group is on hiatus for the summer, but it's not too soon to
be thinking musically and marking your calendar. Our first rehearsal of the
new ’06-’07 season will be held on Monday, September 10 from 3:45 to 5:30
p.m. at the Gathering Place.
We perform two concerts a year in the Barn – a holiday concert in early
December and a spring concert in May. Our repertoire includes a wide variety
of music – different styles, different eras, all fun to sing. During the
season just concluded, we established the precedent of combining our talents
with those of the Fearrington men's chorus, the Harmony Grits, for some of
the selections, which added another highly enjoyable dimension to our
programming.
There are no auditions, although prior vocal experience is helpful. The only
prerequisites are a love of singing and residence in Fearrington or Galloway
Ridge. General rehearsals are weekly on Monday afternoons and a sectional
rehearsal most weeks at the discretion of each vocal section. Our director,
Matt Fry, and accompanist, Dan Hadley are accomplished professional
musicians – with great senses of humor to boot.
If you can carry a tune, enjoy great camaraderie and a sense of
accomplishment, this is the group for you. Have a wonderful summer and come
join us on September 10. For more information, contact Sandy Kelley,
president, 542-6750 or Dinah McAllister, membership chair, 545-9809.

FHA NEWS
SUMMARY OF THE JUNE 6 BOARD MEETING
The following is an abbreviated version of the minutes due to space
considerations in the Newsletter. Complete minutes are available in the FHA
office, the mail kiosks and on the web site, by
clicking here.
The meeting was called to order at 7 p.m. by President Jim Ackerman in the
Gathering Place. Prior to the call to order, the president announced that
going forward there will be no distinction between work sessions and open
meetings of the board to allow for transparency.
Treasurer’s Report
Bob Flower reported that income for April was $2,726, primarily from dues.
Expenses totaled $8,249, which included $7,916, primarily for Grounds and
Facilities, Community Affairs 25th Anniversary, copier and the Gathering
Place. Bob noted that the FHA received a refund check from SunTrust for
$661.64 for automatic debiting fees and transaction fees that will be waived
in the future.
Following the suggestion of the board, Bob made the following motion:
“I move that we appropriate funds not to exceed $2,500 to obtain a
professional audit of the FHA financial records for the fiscal year January
1 through December 31, 2005. Three estimates have been obtained from CPA
firms ranging from $1,400 to $5,000. The estimated completion time is 3-4
weeks from the contract start date.” The motion was seconded by Ingram
Austin. It carried unanimously.
FHA Office Update
Gillian Cell noted that the president had appointed a committee at the last
open board meeting to study the issue of how to manage the office 1) in the
short term, during the summer and 2) in the long term, by volunteer or paid
management. The committee (made up of current and former volunteers and
three board members) met twice and focused primarily on the issue of summer
office service. At the request of the board, the committee will address the
long-range issues next, including the description of the office manager’s
job. In conclusion, the committee recommended that volunteers run the office
during the summer as a temporary solution to the office management vacancy.
Gill read a list of rules and responsibilities formulated by the committee
for the summer volunteers. She also noted that a second committee of current
volunteers had organized, met once and reported back that they were in favor
of progressing to paid management immediately. A lengthy discussion followed
with input from residents.
At the suggestion of the appointed committee, Gill introduced the following
motion:
“That, during July and August of 2006, the FHA office be open from 9:30 a.m.
to 12 noon on Monday, Wednesdays and Fridays, and be managed by the
volunteers who will have specific responsibilities to ensure the proper
functioning of the office.” The motion was seconded by Joanne Flower and
carried unanimously.
Reconfiguration of the Gathering Place Parking Lot
Carol-Ann Greenslade reported that the parking lot reconfiguration is
ongoing and that some directional changes are taking place. The new traffic
pattern should be established and followed by July 1.
Beaver Pond
Jim Bond, Carol-Ann and Bill Sommers will meet with a representative of the
state DOT on June 8. The goal will be to determine how much in actual
dollars the state will contribute to the remediation of Beaver Pond and to
get a firm commitment from them. The hope is that the state will share
one-third of the cost of the project, which is estimated at $30,000 total.
Road Safety
The Road Safety Committee (RSC) has been reconstituted. Carol-Ann reviewed a
letter written by the RSC to the sheriff asking for his advice/assistance
regarding road safety in Fearrington. The RSC would like the support of the
board in sending this letter. It requests a meeting of the sheriff, the RSC
and the board and ultimately perhaps a meeting with the whole community.
The RSC has also created a coloring book promoting road safety, and it is
hoped that Fitch Creations will underwrite the printing of the book.
Emphasis on an educational campaign regarding road safety will continue.
Gill moved that the letter to the sheriff has the support of the board and
should be sent. The motion was seconded by Jim Bond. It carried unanimously.
A discussion regarding road safety followed. Carol-Ann noted that adding
more speed limit signs has already been investigated by the RSC and
Fearrington doesn’t have the population or number of roads to justify more
speed limit signs.
Adopt-a-Parcel
Carol-Ann explained that the Adopt-a-Parcel program has been in place for a
long time and the language has recently been updated without changing the
substance of the policy. She moved that the board approve the application of
the Stone Edge neighborhood for Adopt-a-Parcel funds. The motion was
seconded by Jim Bond and passed unanimously.
Audio System Status Report
Lowell Kennedy reported that a surround-sound system with five-six speakers
has been purchased for the Gathering Place. The plan is to test the speakers
(hopefully by the end of this month) and then install the whole system. The
system may be upgraded to include “looping,” depending on the response of
those who need hearing assistance. A suggestion was made to survey the
community before “looping” the room to ascertain how many people have
hearing aids appropriate for “looping.” – Joanne Flower, FHA Secretary

TRAFFIC PATTERN
CHANGES AT THE GATHERING PLACE
The new traffic pattern printed in the last issue of the Newsletter goes
into effect July 1, with the following change: The right turn from the mail
kiosk into the Gathering Place parking area will no longer be permitted. A
right turn there would place the turning car into the path of oncoming
one-way traffic. In the interests of your own and others safety, please
observe the newly painted arrows on the pavement. - Carol-Anne Greenslade,

DISTRACTIONS HAMPER DRIVING
SAFETY
According to the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration,
distracted drivers cause 25% of the more than 6 million accidents reported
to police in the United States every year.
Distractions include using a cell phone, eating, drinking, smoking, reading,
talking to passengers, shaving and changing radio stations. In a recent
study, 91% of drivers surveyed admitted to engaging in some sort of risky
behavior while driving.
The demands on safe drivers are constantly changing. To stay safe while
driving, we must be aware of everything that is happening around us in order
to have as much time as possible to react. Therefore, the more distractions
we eliminate, or reduce, the safer we will be. – Joe Geoghegan, Road Safety
