NOVEMBER FHA BOARD MEETING

The FHA Board announces that due to Election Day use of the Gathering Place on the first Tuesday in November, there will be no regular Board meeting in November. All business will be conducted at the Annual Board meeting in the Barn on Sunday, November 12, 2006.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
Jim Ackerman

Part of the special charm of Fearrington Village, since its very inception, has derived from neighbor helping neighbor, as typified by Fearrington Cares and from the effectiveness of the all-volunteer Fearrington Homeowners Association. In the early years, much of this caring effort was carried out by just a few dedicated volunteers; however, over the last 25 years, the vast increase in the number of dwellings and residents in FV has necessitated an exponential increase in the size and complexity of the volunteer network.

With the increased challenge of serving the needs of a larger community, the Long Range Planning Committee of the Board in 2005 recommended that the Board consider some type of professional management to ease the burden of one or more labor intensive volunteer positions which have become difficult or impossible to fill. Your 2006 Board has considered the recommendation of the Long Range Planning Committee and have gained consensus that their recommendation is not only sound, but also timely. Thus, we have been investigating ways to preserve the best of the volunteer tradition in Fearrington Village while at the same time responding to the exigencies of the 21st century.

The Board has interviewed three management firms and plans to meet with two more companies. We have been pleased with their favorable assessment of our current community and with their eagerness to work with us as we progress toward the next phase in the life of the Village. The Board has concluded that the best way to proceed over the next several years is to incrementally phase in targeted professional management functions to assist the FHA Board in serving the needs of the community. In other words, our decision is to institute professional management services progressively rather than radically. In this manner we will be able to seamlessly effectuate favorable change without significantly altering enthusiasm for volunteerism the community. It will also allow the Board and the community to evaluate the effectiveness of each step once it is implemented.

We are optimistic that this plan is fiscally feasible based on our interviews with professional association managers and with the proposed 2007 budget. It appears that the first stepwise professional management increment will not necessitate a dues increase greater than $4.00 per household in 2007, which is little more than the increase in the cost of living. The Board will discuss these plans in greater detail and will present the budget proposal for 2007 at the open Board meeting on October 3rd in the Gathering Place (7:00 PM). Further details will follow in the November Newsletter and at the annual meeting on November 12th in the Barn (2:00 PM)

If in the interim, you have any questions or comments regarding any aspect of this plan, either I, or any Director of the Board, will be happy to speak with you.

FEARRINGTON UNITED WAY CAMPAIGN BEGINS

The United Way of Chatham County is currently conducting its annual campaign. The county-wide goal is $800,000. Our goal in Fearrington Village and Galloway Ridge is to contribute $90,000. Our Fearrington community has a long history of giving generously to the United Way and to Chatham County.

With the very rapid population growth in our county, the needs also are increasing. Your support is the only way to continue to provide the help that is needed by so many people in our community. Your United Way focuses on the current needs of this community, responding in ways that maximize every donor dollar and investing where the needs are greatest. Because of you, there is a way!

Because of you, there is a way to respond to the fact that every day someone in our community goes to bed hungry, a child is left alone because her mother cannot afford daycare, and a family goes without electricity because there is no money.

Because of you, the United Way member agencies are able to help thousands of Chatham County residents with services like daycare, after-school activities, emergency intervention for battered women, assistance with utility bills, transportation, senior services, emergency food and clothing, legal aid and substance abuse treatment.

You can make a difference in our county through your support of United Way. The need is great. Please give generously to this once yearly appeal. In early October, Fearrington and Galloway Ridge residents should receive a letter with information and pledge cards for this years campaign. If you work outside Chatham County, please designate your United Way pledge to go to Chatham County.

On Monday, October 16, Dr. James "Mickey" Efird will return to the Gathering Place for the first of four presentations on the "Women of the Bible."

You will surely learn more about the women of the Bible than you may imagine.

A long-time favorite of Fearringtonians, Dr. Efird's subsequent lectures are planned for October 23 and 30 and November 6. All four will begin at 10:00 am and last ninety minutes. Mark your calendars and get ready to gain new insights into a controversial subject of considerable current interest.

DRIVER SAFETY COURSE

With the widening of 15/501 has come more traffic and faster drivers. Trying to calculate if we are too close to the car ahead of us will be even more difficult. We have ALL changed physically from when we learned how to drive. To keep our loved ones and ourselves safe, maybe we should take a defensive driving course to renew our driving skills. Learn about potential trouble spots, Road Rage, Physical changes, how to judge yourself, entering & exiting freeways, Airbags, anti-lock brakes and many more safety tips. Become one of the more than 600,000 individuals who take the AARP Defensive Driving Course every year.

Sign up for AARP Defensive Driving Course being presented at the Gathering Place October 19 & 20 between 9 and 1:00. It is sponsored by Fearrington Cares and presented by Joe Geoghegan. To register call Joe at 545-0710 and bring a check for $10, made out to AARP, to the first class. See you all there!!!

DRIVERS ED: LAW-ABIDING DRIVERS?

We all know that WE are lawful drivers, Right? We always use our turn signal, even when we are changing lanes on 15/501. We ALWAYS come to a FULL stop at STOP signs and red lights. We always remove the HANDICAP tag from our rear view mirror when we are moving because it is for PARKING only. We know that if we do not do any of the aforementioned and we are caught, it will cost us a fine and points on our license. Then our insurance will increase. We are very lucky that all Fearringtonians are law-abiding drivers.

FHA NEWS

FHA BOARD MEETING SEPTEMBER 5, 2006

The following is a condensed version of the minutes due to space considerations in the Newsletter. Complete minutes are available in the FHA office, the mail kiosks and by clicking here

The meeting was called to order by President Jim Ackerman. Jim Ackerman read a volunteer award in tribute to long-time residents, Bob and Sallie Comey. The award is inscribed on a plaque which was displayed at the meeting and which will be given to the Comeys.

Treasurers Report

Bob reported on the draft results of the 2005 financial audit, which was done at the direction of the Board by the CPA firm of Petway, Mills and Pearson. The report shows that the FHA financial statements for the year 2005 present fairly and are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. There were no errors of omission, misstatements or problems noted.

FHA Office Update

In Gillians absence, Jim Ackerman explained that due to the lack of a volunteer office coordinator the Board is considering hiring someone whose duties would include those of office management. This topic will be discussed at the upcoming Board work session on September 11. Jim reviewed the issue, stating that Mary Lou Einloth and her committee had generated a report which included four options: 1) close the office; 2) open office 3 mornings/week in hope of attracting a volunteer coordinator for fewer hours/week; 3) open office 5 mornings/week with management duties divided among various volunteers; 4) open office 5 mornings/week with paid office manager. Jim noted that a fifth alternative would be the hiring of a part-time (approximately 20 hours/week) administrator for the FHA, which would include the office management. A job description for an administrator has been created. Jim also noted that the Board is compelled to make a decision on this matter soon due to the fact that Mary Lou Einloth is not willing to continue as the temporary office manager/coordinator beyond the end of September. He stated that there is some possibility that the Board will recommend hiring someone on a temporary basis for the remainder of 2006. This would allow for an open and wide search for a permanent employee and allow for transparency.

Presentation by Chatham County Sheriff

Captain Roy Allen gave a very informative presentation encompassing both Road Safety and Personal Safety.

Road Safety Radar Monitor

Following the recommendation of the Chatham County Sheriff, a mobile radar unit will be purchased for use in the Village. The unit will be mounted on speed limit signs and its location can be changed as needed. The unit is quite indestructible and will assist the Sheriff in gathering data as well as remind drivers of the speed limit. The cost of the unit and accompanying insurance is not to exceed $5000 and Fitch Creations has offered to assume half of the cost.

Beaver Pond

Carol-Ann stated that the project of getting State approvals is in process. She thinks that remediation of the pond should be underway by November. The costs are projected to be $10,000 from the State, $10,000 from the FHA and $10,000 from Fitch Creations.

Online Surveys

The trial of an online survey system will begin with a rudimentary test survey being sent to all those on the FHA email list. The test survey will run for two weeks. [To see the results of the survey click here.]

FHA Dues Collection - Ingram reports that there are two properties with unpaid dues out of 1,106 members.

Gathering Place

Over the summer Lowell sent a letter to all Fearrington groups who use the Gathering Place kitchen asking for suggestions for upgrading the kitchen facilities. Only two of the surveyed organizations responded to his request. He will put together a proposal based on the input to date.

Covenant Concerns

Jim noted that Ingram Austin's research has generated concern regarding inconsistencies in the Declarations and Restrictive Covenants. Therefore, the involved documents are being forwarded to Henry Jones, an attorney in Community Association Law.

Resident Input

The following issues were discussed:

Regarding the Briar Chapel development, a request was made by Bill Sommers that the Board write the Chatham County Planning Director and ask for his periodic review in addressing our concerns. He also recommended that the Board contact Mr. Barron (of Newland Communities) to arrange periodic, scheduled meetings so the environmental concerns voiced by the FHA and its members can be discussed and reviewed.

Residents were requested to fill out the green forms, which are available in the mail kiosks. They are emergency response questionnaires.

A resident questioned how many people actually use the Gathering Place office and are served by it. A lengthy discussion followed it was suggested that the office has become part of the fabric of the community and the Gathering Place serves as the nerve center of the community. It was also noted that there are serious legal responsibilities of the FHA, which involve record-keeping, filing, preservation all of which are done in the office, making the office necessary.

A resident asked if there is an ecological function of the FHA Board. The concern is harm caused to the environment when all the trees on new properties are cut down. Carol-Ann suggested that this type of concern should be addressed with Mr. Fitch by individual homeowners. Jim Ackerman will discuss this concern with R.B. when he meets with him.

A resident made an announcement publicizing the upcoming community briefing on safety violations at Shearon Harris Nuclear Plant.

Respectfully submitted,
Joanne Flower, FHA Secretary

He maintained a private practice in Bryn Mawr, Pa. for 25 years and served as president of the Greater Philadelphia Society of Orthodontists and The Philadelphia Academy of Stomatology. His practice has been passed on to his son.

For much of the decade he lived in Ardmore, Pa. and Jim served as the president of his condominium association. He also participated in leadership roles in a number of dental organizations. Jim is currently semi-retired. He is an adjunct clinical professor of orthodontics at the UNC School of Dentistry and practices part-time in North Raleigh and Fuquay Varina.

Jims hobby is woodturning and he is a member of the Woodturner's Guild of North Carolina. He originally hailed from Elizabeth, N.J., and Aud was born and raised in Norway. They each have two children from previous marriages and two grandchildren.

VICE PRESIDENT Gillian Cell

I moved to Fearrington in July 2003 after retiring from the College of William and Mary as provost and professor of history, positions I had held previously at Lafayette College in Pennsylvania. North Carolina has been home to me since l962 when I moved to the United States from Britain after completing a Ph.D. in English history at the University of Liverpool. I knew Fearrington Village from its earliest days when I was on the faculty at UNC and living in Chapel Hill. At UNC-CH I taught English history and held several administrative appointments: including chair of the Department of History, and from l985-1991, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences.

During recent years I have served on the boards of the Southeastern Universities Research Association and the Alliance for Undergraduate Education and on selection committees for Rhodes Scholars. Currently I am on the advisory boards of the UNC Program for the Humanities and Human Values, the UNC Honors Program and the UNC Press Board. At Fearrington I have been active in the Women's Club and the Democratic Club, serving on the program committee for both, and since the beginning of this year, I have served first as director of community affairs and now as vice president of the FHA.

SECRETARY Leonard Kreisman

Ruth and I moved to Fearrington more than five years ago from Westfield, N.J. For more than 20 years, I was the academic vice president at Union County Community College in Cranford, N.J. I have been in educational administrative positions for my entire career. Starting with a teaching stint at New York University, another at the State University College in Plattsburgh, N.Y. and then as head of the College Discovery Program for the City University of New York, as well as a Fulbright scholar in what is now Bangladesh and another assignment at the State Education Department in Albany, New York.

We have two daughters, one of whom works as a CPA for Conde Nast in New York City, and the other a lawyer with Fidelity in New York City.

We have always been interested in community service. Ruth and I are both board members of a foundation dedicated to genetic diseases, and I served as a member of our co-op board when we lived in New York City and as a board member of the private pre-school that our daughters attended.

I look forward to serving the residents of Fearrington as secretary to the FHA Board.

TREASURER Walter Jernigan

I am a native of Dunn, N.C. and graduated in 1960 from UNC-Chapel Hill with a B.S. degree in business administration and a major in accounting. During the 1950s and 1960s, I was in the North Carolina National Guard and in 1960, I spent six months on active duty with the Army. I worked briefly for the state auditor as a field auditor assigned to examine various government agencies. I left in 1961 to join theIRS as a field examiner of federal income tax returns.

During my 42 years with IRS, I was an agent nine years and in 1970, I became a manager in Nashville, Tenn. In 1976, I received a promotion to the IRS National Office in Washington, D.C. I spent a year in Washington when I was promoted and moved to Louisville, Ky. in 1978. I was chief of all IRS examination activity in Kentucky. In 1989, I became chief appeals for IRS operations in Kentucky and in 1996, I transferred to Greensboro as part of a national IRS reorganization. I became a resident of Fearrington in August 1996 and retired from the IRS in July 2003.

I have been a CPA licensed to practice in North Carolina since 1965. I have never practiced as a CPA . I just recently notified the North Carolina Board of CPAs that I wanted to leave the status of an active CPA and to have the status of a retired CPA. My request has been honored. Therefore, while in the status of a retired CPA, I cannot practice as a CPA and I cannot have the CPA designation associated with my name in any financial matters.

FINANCIAL OFFICER vacant at this time

DIRECTOR, INTERGOVERNMENTAL RELATIONS Jim Bond

Jim Bond joined the Fearrington community in the fall of 2005 and has served as director of intergovernmental relations since February. He and his wife Georgana grew up in Peoria, Ill., but they have lived most of their adult lives in the Southeast and the Northwest, where he has taught law, first, at the Judge Advocate General's School and subsequently at Wake Forest, the University of Puget Sound and Seattle University Schools of Law. He served as dean of the University of Puget Sound from 1986-1993 and of Seattle University from 1995-2000. The Bonds are members of Evergreen Methodist Church, where they both teach Sunday School. Mrs. Bond is active in Fearrington tennis, and he is president of Fearrington Republicans.

NOMINATING COMMITTEE

Ed Bonahue - Ed and his wife Lyn moved to Fearrington in July 1999 and live at 710 Spindlewood. Ed spent his entire career in public school education, principally on Long Island, in a variety of positions from teacher (French and English) to superintendent. He retired in 1992 after 36 years of service and moved to North Carolinas. Over the years, he has also served as an adjunct professor at SUNY at Stony Brook, Dowling College, and Elon University. At Fearrington, Ed has been active in the Fearrington Tennis Association and served as president in 2005-2006. He is also active in the Fearrington Golf Association and is a member of the tournament committee. He is area captain for the 12 block captains in the Woods.

Douglas Carson - Canadian born. Graduate school at Cambridge, England and New York University. Fearrington resident for five years. Member of Finance Committee for Chatham Habitat for Humanity.

Gail Mazzocco - My husband and I arrived in Fearrington three years ago from Appalachian Md., where we had lived for almost 30 years. I am on the faculty at the School of Nursing at UNC-Chapel Hill where I am the Statewide Area Health Education Center Nursing Director. That position has given me the opportunity to travel throughout the state.

In Maryland, I taught and held administrative positions at the University of Maryland School of Nursing and was active in the community. I sat on the board of trustees of the local health system, chaired the foundation board of the local community college, was active in our church and reared (with considerable support) our five children.

Work and a range of professional activities have consumed much of my time in North Carolina. I am also active in our church, where I am church council secretary and a member of the Health and Wholeness Ministry; a new endeavor based on the more traditional parish nurse program. Those connections have delayed my involvement in any long-term Fearrington activities. However, as I approach my own retirement, I am anxious to become more engaged here at home. The Nominating Committee offers an opportunity for me to contribute to the Village and to begin that involvement at the same time.
