Lately I have read many articles on the success and development of small farms and agri-businesses across the country. Key to the success of these operations is on-site processing of the agricultural products to add value. For example, rather than simply raising goats, the farmer would collect the milk, process to cheese and potentially retail on site. Another example was a farmer growing hops and barley for an on-site microbrewery.
A nearby example would include grape growing and wine production in the Yadkin Valley.
This isn't front-page material, but a passing reaction and 'statement of concern' for the town's 9-year-olds:
The billboard on Estes Dr. in front of Estes Hills Elementary School is currently announcing "Third-Grade College and Career Night."
Everything is confirmed and the final details are being smoothed out for moving the ReCYCLEry from our wonderful Bolin Creek home of the past several years to 103 Padgette Lane, Carrboro. Padgette Lane is the small road that comes off of Main Street in between the recently vacated Performance Bike Shop and the Carrboro Arts Center parking lot.
I am a volunteer and the spokesman for Orange County FreedomWorks. I was contacted by a citizen concerned about inaccuracies on this site about Tax Revolt and FreedomWorks. I thought it might be a good idea to attempt to correct some of the inaccuracies by providing information.
Time-Warner, its relationship with the town of Chapel Hill, and cable TV agreements are the subject of two CH Herald stories this morning.
1. "Time Warner Cable, town to break ties March 31" Daniel Goldberg: "Time Warner Cable has notified the town that a local franchise agreement between
the two entities will be terminated effective March 31 . . . [Under] the Video Service Competition Act ... all cable franchise
agreements instituted after Jan. 1, 2007, will be licensed by the N.C. secretary
of state and agreements like the one between Time Warner and the town of Chapel
Hill could be terminated if a competing cable provider were authorized to offer
services in the same area." http://heraldsun.southernheadlines.com/orange/10-1124138.cfm (regis. needed)
2. "Town opposed cable service legislation" Daniel Goldberg - a history of town opposition to the legislation. http://heraldsun.southernheadlines.com/orange/10-1124120.cfm (regis. needed).
