Subject: Looking for 1984 Northwood Graduates!
2009 marks 25 years from graduation for the 1984 Northwood graduates. We are attempting to put together a 25 year reunion in May of 2009. However, we need to find our classmates! If you are or know a 1984 Northwood graduate, please email your mailing address and email address to chargers1984reunion-at-yahoo.com so that we can add you to our mailing lists. We will be sending out more information once we acquire a majority of our classmates' information. Please help us spread the word!

Subject: Re: Is anyone else as puzzled as I am?
A few thoughts on your questions.
First, it's important to remember that much of the media in this area is Raleigh/Durham centric. Raleigh, and the other municipalities on its water system, is still in a world of hurt because its main source of water, Falls Lake, is still 7.5 feet below full. Since Raleigh is in so much trouble, the media still hypes the drought. Meanwhile, Jordan Lake has rebounded nicely and as of this morning is within 3/4 feet of being back to normal. Since Chatham isn't usually on the radar screen of the media, we don't hear the good news. This is probably a good thing. If too many people in Raleigh notice how well Jordan is doing, they might try to figure out how to draw from it.
So, the next question is why is Jordan doing so well and Falls isn't? I can only speculate that it's a combination of things. Perhaps more rain has fallen on the Jordan watershed? If you look at the inflow history you'll see that on the days where we've had rain the inflow to Jordan runs three to four times higher than Falls. Perhaps Jordan has a better watershed (more land feeding the lake)? And finally, only about half as much water is drawn from Jordan as is drawn from Falls.

Jordan Lake is fed by a drainage area which goes all the way to a point
north of Reidsville, west of Greensboro, east to Mebane and winds southeast
to Jordan approx. 30-40 miles wide and sixty miles long. A little rain in
Greensboro will produce a lot of water for the Haw River and Jordan Lake.
We do not have to have rain for the river to flow.
Check with the Haw River Assembly to see a map of it: www.hawriver.org
Of course, if they can not remember who their founders were, I am not sure
they can find where the Haw River is.

Subject: Water levels at the lake
> >We are told daily that we are in an extreme drought and are asked to
conserve our precious water resources. It has only rained a few times in
the last many months. How then did Jordan Lake go from being able to
walk out to the island, to having LOTS of water covering the roadway to
the island, etc. almost overnight? I'm just curious.
It's a lot about how much they let out of the dam, vs. how much is
coming in, esp. north of here, and how much we are using. No-body's
watering anything this time of year. We're not filling swimming pools.
Jordan is primarily flood control for parts south, and some of the time,
water is stored to buffer the flow out and down through Fayetteville.
Later in the summer, that water will be needed to maintain water quality
south of here--we can't keep it all.
If you really want to know what happens with the water, read the Lake's
website, in particular their waterflow plan, available on line at:

Subject: Ollie and Lulu had a ball at Mardi Gras Ball
Hello- My name is Ollie Waddell- I moved here from Alabama with my wife
Texie. I went to the Mardi Gras Ball Sat. night and had a wonderful time. I
think I was the only one not wearing shoes. My tall sister Lula would like
to know who the gentleman was that danced with her about 9:00?
And I would like to know who the person was with the bright colored outfit
that kept buying me drinks.
I hope they have this every year- maybe twice a year.

Subject: Mardi Gras Krewe name
Do we really need a Krewe name? I thought the event went off very well, considering it was the first time. The sponsors might consider also having a Harvest Ball- (please, no Halloween Ball)
Also, what about having a Mardi Gras Poster contest?( original art, no computer print-outs) These could be in turn be auctioned off, after three of the best were selected and then one final winner. It would really stimulate interest and would be good advertising.
Getting back to the Krewe name- how about Pittsblur?

Subject: Hike along the Haw this Saturday
There is still time to join in on the Haw River Assembly’s hike this Saturday, February 9, along the Haw River in the State Natural Area between Hwy 64 and Bynum. The hike will start at 10:00 am with naturalist, Joe Jacob, leading the way. The walk is expected to take about 2 to 3 hours. Most impressive about this Natural Area is the feeling of remoteness, the old growth trees and the beautiful views along the river. Giant sycamore, oak, hickory, sweetgum, birch and loblolly pine trees dominate the forest canopy. Understory species include holly, ironwood and mountain laurel. Hiking along the river in the natural area is more like an easy stroll through the woods. Come join others for a glorious day along the river. You can go to the Haw River Assembly's website for more information. To make a reservation, please call Joe Jacob at the Haw River Canoe & Kayak Company 336.260-6465.
If you are interested in more opportunities this year, look up the 2008 Haw River Assembly’s Field Trip events by going to the HRA website www.hawriver.org to find the complete calendar. More trips may be added as the year unfolds. We’ll see you down by the river, along a creek's edge, on the lake or within this beautiful watershed, right here in your backyard.

Subject: landscape/design service
I am looking for a reasonable, dependable and artistic
landscaper or service to assist in changing my back yard
from the current red clay terrain to something
aesthetically pleasing, yet sustainable even in the dry
conditions that we are currently experiencing. There is
an irrigation system in place (though not used) due to the
drought, and the fact that the landscaper who installed it
did not finish the job by putting in sod - hence nothing to
water!
Personal recommendations and contacts are welcome.
Thank you!

Pittsboro Needle Crafters
Thursday, February 14, 6:30PM-8:30PM
Chatham County Agriculture Extension Building
After January's introductory class, are you ready for advanced crochet?
Alexis will again be teaching and instruct how to read a pattern and
complete a "granny square". This simple but beautiful classic pattern lends
itself well to making a scarf or an afghan. For those of you either still
struggling or were unable to attend January class, Alexis will review
crochet basics. Bring a "G" or "H" crochet hook and a skein of acrylic yarn.
On March 13, we will talk about the many creative uses of fusibles and
stabilizers. With so many new types in the marketplace today, this class
will take the mystery out of what fusible and/or stabilizer to choose for
superb results. And, in April, the very popular craft of punch needle will
be introduced. Due to necessary supplies, reservations will be required.
Classes are held the 2nd Thursday of each month, September through June,
6:30PM to 8:30PM in the kitchen of the Chatham County Extension building
directly behind the government buildings. A class fee of $5 is collected to
cover some supplies with the year-end remainder donated to a local charity
in June. Everyone is welcome and no prior skills are necessary. Come to
learn a new craft and meet others with like interests!

Hi all, was wondering what the cause of the police road check was on Sat. night. I think that it was happening at about 9 pm or so, close to the Chevy dealership on 15/501. Do you think that they might have been checking the party goers at the Mill?

Subject: Keep your eyes on the bad guys... Good job Chatham Co Sheriff
How do 5 people escape from a detention facility in Pittsboro? They
probably walked out. I always thought Pittsboro was a safe place. A place
where you could go out without locking your doors. In light of Monday
night's prison break I will probably start locking mine. I would encourage
the Sheriff to do the same. Chatham County, if you are not upset about
this, you are not listening, an elementary school is close to this
building. One of the guys that escaped was charged with being charged with
rape and indecent liberties with a minor. Hello?! What if this happened at
noon instead of midnight? It might be time for to review procedure at the
sheriff's office. For now I hope these guys are caught and that Sheriff
Webster gives us some answers as to what is happening on West St.
