Wow, it looks like NCE, Pollard and Seaforth will each have 54-71 students more than forecasted. I’m wondering about the allocations of support staff at these schools (like the counselors, nurses, tech staff, assistant principals). Does anyone know if they’ll be able to get more support staff to support the additional student growth?

Why no projected enrollment for Sage, CCES, and virtual school? That’s almost all the difference from projection.

This happens about every time I go to the Chapel Hill Walmart. Ive experienced this w/grocery items, household items, toys, & medicines. Its ridiculous. Then when you say something about the incorrect price most employees act like they have an issue with it. We already have to check ourselves out most the time what do we have to do tag the shelves now too.. ijs.

Bear Creek takes up a lot of real estate in Chatham County and we want to know more about its tributaries.

Creeks provide some of the only clues for property locations in early deeds. Those early records contain a lot of named tributaries of Bear Creek. Existing maps show the locations of Little Bear Creek, Sandy Branch, Harts Creek, and Flaggy Branch.

But a search of a database of abstracted deeds (created by Mark Chilton) also reveals 19 other named tributaries of Bear Creek which do not appear on any maps that he can find. If you have knowledge of any of these tributaries, please let us know. You'll be helping Mark and others who hope to locate their Chatham ancestors' properties.
Patricks Branch
Pine Poal Branch [Pine Pole Branch?]
Rocky Branch
Haw Branch
Great Branch [also “Big Branch” which is presumably the same thing?]
Oaky Branch
Crooked Pine Branch
High Hill Branch
Pigs Branch
Dunlaps Branch
Sall Youngbloods Branch
Ashe Branch
Rokke Nole Branch [Rocky Knoll Branch?]
Gum Branch
Joel Barker’s Spring Branch
Camp Branch
Long Branch
Watery Branch
Horse Branch

The Bear Creek deeds and land grants also reference Poplin’s Ford, Raccoon Ford and Beach Spring -- all of which would be interesting to locate on a map as well.

Please help if you can! Comment here or contact us at .
