COMMUNITY NEWS

TO RESIDENTS AND FRIENDS,

Thank you's are like last goodbyes. They bring closure to an event that has happened, be it good or bad. I'm not ready for closure in the death this May of Charlie, my husband of 40 years, but it is time to say "thank you" for your kindness and support, both emotional and especially financial. I would like to say thank you to each one of you personally, but I do not know who most of you are. My family and I truly appreciate all that you have done for us during this time. Your just being there has meant so much to me. I never knew I had so many wonderful friends. Again, thank you for everything. - Sincerely, Linda Polson, SunTrust

CORA UPDATE

Many Chatham kids face hunger -The impact of the difficult economy has translated to an unprecedented number of requests for emergency food support from CORA Food Pantry. Demand for help is 40% greater than last year. And no group is harder hit than children. They account for 45% of the people CORA serves. More than 30% of Chatham County's children live in poverty. And 45% of them are eligible for free or reduced cost lunches.

From July 2008 to June 2009, CORA provided 14,500 individual weekly grocery rations to hungry Chatham County families. It amounted to 280,000 pounds (140 tons!) of food.

Weve been able to do this with the generous support of citizens throughout the area, many of them caring friends from Fearrington Village. We are most grateful.

Please support the 2009 Hunger Walk - The Walk is our biggest fundraising event of the year, and Fearrington residents have always been strong supporters. Won't you help this year? We need flyer distributors, neighborhood coordinators and walkers for the Fearrington team. Please contact me at 545-2332 or marci.sATmindspring.com. Many thanks. -Marci Whittaker Executive Director CORA Food Pantry

HAVURAH HOSTS NORTIN HADLER

On September 8 at 8:00 p.m. the Fearrington Havurah will kick off its new season with its annual program in the Barn. This year's speaker will be Nortin Hadler, MD, MACP, FACR, FACOEM and professor at the UNC Medical School. Dr. Hadler is a nationally prominent analyst of the American health care system. "The title of Dr. Hadler's talk is A Tree Fell in the "Health Care Reform" Forest.

Dr. Hadler received his AB at Yale University and his MD at the Harvard Medical School. His current book is Worried Sick: A Prescription for Health in an Overtreated America (2008), the title of which provides some perspective on his view of the existing system.

Further insight is provided by this Amazon reviewer: "...Hadler exposes the excesses, the unjustified costliness, and the ineffectiveness of the present medical system. He presents a proposal for a health-care insurance system that will increase the health of the nation, provide effective care and reduce costs." In light of the debate that is currently raging in Washington this presentation could not be more timely.

As with all Havurah Barn events the general community is not only welcome but is encouraged to come. Refreshments will be served commencing at 7:30. For further information please call Bob Glass at 542-1426.

SEPTEMBER READINGS AT MCINTYRES

Friday, September 4 at 2 p.m. Roy A. Cooper, Jr. will be introduced by his son, our current Attorney General, as he visits to read from Between The Creeks. Roy set out to tell the stories of growing up in the country in the late 1920s and 1930s. In doing so, he has accomplished much more than that. His collection of tales about growing up between the creeks speaks to continuity of values across generations, values passed down from parents to children to grandchildren.

Saturday, September 5 at 11a.m. Batt Humphreys comes to McIntyres to read from Dead Weight. Based on the true story of the State vs. Daniel Duncan, Dead Weight details the 1910 trial, conviction and execution of Daniel Cornelius Nealy Duncan, a young black man of respectable employment and temperament, arrested on the eve of his wedding for the murder of a local merchant.

Friday, September 11 at 2 p.m. Joanna Smith Rakoff reads from A Fortunate Age. Joanna Smith Rakoff's richly drawn and immensely satisfying first novel details the lives of a group of Oberlin graduates whose ambitions and friendships threaten to unravel as they chase their dreams, shed their youth, and build their lives in Brooklyn.

Saturday, September 12 at 11 a.m. Stephen March comes to McIntyres to read from Strangers In The Land of Egypt. Jesse Terrill has reason to be angry. His mother has abandoned him, his brother was murdered, and his father is in the state mental hospital. Arrested for vandalizing a synagogue, Jesse is sentenced to do community service for a Holocaust survivor.

Friday September 18 at 2 p.m. Rolf Lynton, Fearrington resident will be on hand to discuss his new book, Between Past and Future: A Field Guide for Fathers Overseas. From his experience as director, team leader, dean, large-system consultant in several South Asian countries and organizational settings, the author distills key episodes in bringing up three children in new places; births and an adoption, schools, making and leaving friends, crises, building a house to anchor the family, culture shock in reverse when moving "back" West. All while the father is absorbed in ensuring career and income long-term.

Saturday, September 19at 11 a.m. Local poet and author Ruth Moose reads from her newly released collection of poetry, The Librarian and Other Poems. Ruth Moose's poems have always been grounded in a certainty that gives every line its profound authority--that where we live and how we live matter more than anything else, that "here" is where the mystery resides, each detail of it claiming its rightful place in the scheme of the poem, in the narrative of our lives.

Sunday, September 20 at 2 p.m. Amy Whitaker visits to discuss her first book, Museum Legs, named from a term for art fatigue, which starts with a question: Why do people get bored and tired in art museums and why does that matter? As she writes in this humorous and incisive collection of essays, museums matter for reasons that have less to do with art and more to do with business, politics, and the age-old question of how to live.

Thursday, September 24 at 7 p.m. This months poetry reading featuring poets from the NC Poetry Society will feature Scott Owens and Terri Kirby Erickson. Scott Owens is the author of four collections of poetry and more than 400 poems published in various journals and anthologies. Terri Kirby Erickson has taught poetry classes for the Courses for Community program at Salem College, and has conducted a number of poetry workshops, sponsored by the Forsyth County Public Library. Her second collection of poetry, Telling Tales of Dusk, will be published by Press 53 this month.

Friday, September 25 at 2 p.m. Young adult author and illustrator Clay Carmichael will be on hand to discuss her new novel Wild Things. "It's hard to resist the voice of 11-year-old narrator Zo, who stars in Carmichael's swiftly-paced first novel, alongside a supporting cast of eccentric characters nearly as wild as she."

Sunday, September 27 at 2 p.m. Culinary Author Event: Ann Prospero visits to discuss Chefs of the Triangle: Their Lives, Recipes and Restaurants. Drawing from personal interviews, Prospero has written profiles of both established and up-and-coming chefs from the area. Each entry reveals the chefs cooking philosophy, influences, and personality as well as the ambience of the chefs restaurant and offers two or three of the chefs recipes.

Fearrington House Restaurant Executive Chef Colin Bedford, who is featured in the book, and will share both his cooking experiences and his food with attendees, will join Ann.

WHAT'S GOING ON OUTSIDE FEARRINGTON

FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY

Award Winning Film Friends of the Pittsboro Memorial Library proudly present the award-winning documentary LIONESS, to be shown on Friday, September 25 at the Senior Center, Hwy. 87 N in Pittsboro at 7 p.m. Free and open to the public.

LIONESS, a feature documentary film by Meg McLagan and Daria Sommers, tells the story of the first group of female Army support soldiers-mechanics, clerks and engineers-to serve as Lioness. While serving in Iraq from 2003-2004, these young women ended up in some of the bloodiest counterinsurgency battles of the Iraq war and returned home as part of this country's first generation of female combat veterans. Yet they are rarely-if ever mentioned in news stories. LIONESS makes public, for the first time, their hidden history.

LIONESS filmmaker Daria Sommers will lead the Q & A following the film's showing. Refreshments will follow.

The Pittsboro Memorial Library Book Club will meet on September 1 at 6:45 p.m. in the Reeves Room at the library. The book to be discussed is The Banana by Dan Koeppel. This Non-Fiction book is about the crisis facing the world's most popular and important fruit - a crisis preceded by thousands of years of history and legend, and precipitated by a century of globalization and ignoring the lessons of the past. The banana, which millions love, and which millions more depend on to survive, is in danger of disappearing. The Book Club is open to everyone.

The book for October 6 is The Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot Diaz.

(Return to Table of Contents)

REDESIGNED FORM A/B EMERGENCY INFORMATION FORMS

Your FHA Board and Emergency Preparedness Committee (EPC) have revised the Emergency Registration FORM A FORM B to include the supplemental information that the better prepared residents of Fearringtons Phase I and II use to handle emergencies. You can obtain a copy to download and print out on your computer by clicking here.

The new FORM A/B Rev.8/09 includes the increased information to cover all residents of Fearrington.

Many have already submitted part of this information but some data, particularly emergency contacts e.g. telephone numbers or email addresses, has changed and we are asking you to update all the information you care to provide. The more information available, the more the EPC can prepare for possible emergencies including hurricanes, ice storms, pandemics and personal emergencies -- heart attacks, for example.

Completed forms may be returned to the FHA Office or the Fearrington Board locked wooden mailbox in the Swim & Croquet mail kiosk. Thanks for your help.

NEW AUDIO-VISUAL SYSTEM FOR THE GATHERING PLACE

Over the summer a completely new A-V system was installed by Best Buys For Business Geek Squad. The requirements were to have sound equal in quality and volume throughout the room, microphones that adequately amplify voices and do not have to be held to the lips and a single remote control to operate all systems. Since parts are not available for the projector and the company no longer services the model, a new projector was installed. This project was in response to the numerous complaints, problems and undependability of the existing system.

It is essential for all users and potential users to attend training sessions. Clubs should send more than one representative so several people understand how to operate the new system. Please call or email Carol Kurtz(542-3582, CarolMcKurtzATembarqmail.com) to confirm attendance at one (or more) of the following dates:

Tues., September 8, 4:00-5:00 p.m.

Thurs., September 10, 4:00-5:00 p.m.

Fri., September 11, 10-11:00 a.m.

SPECIAL THANKS

This summer our large meeting room and two closets were freshly painted. Earlier in the year the hallway and entry also received a coat of paint. In 2007 we received an estimate of $3,375 to paint the interior of The Gathering Place and there has certainly been an increase in price since then. Because of the willing help of Joyce and Lowell Kennedy, Ray Albers and Tom Skiver almost all the interior was painted at one-tenth of the estimated cost resulting in significant savings for the community. Henry Castner designed the elegant FHA in the hallway. It serves as a focal point for the many Fearrington award plaques. These people make my job easy and enjoyable and I know the community joins me in expressing thanks to them. -Carol Kurtz, Director, The Gathering Place
