Guest post by Barbara Janeway on the results of the Transition Carrboro Chapel Hill brainstorming May 15 at Century Center:
Want our community to be safe and resilient through the coming effects of
unstable economy, climate change, and the end of cheap oil? A great start
was made on this issue at The Great Unleashing, held May 15 at Carrboro's
Century Center, sponsored by Transition Carrboro Chapel Hill.
Over 150 people attended and created the agenda for the day themselves,
identifying issues to work with. From these, 28 discussion groups met
throughout the day, and brainstormed! By day's end, a powerful
'unleashing' of ideas had occurred, and 21 Action Groups were formed.
Many positive visions of our future were communicated!
These Action Groups have begun to meet regularly. And those who join
will begin the work of transition in our region, to a more stable local
economy with more vibrant local resources. Anyone is welcome to join an
action group. The groups will do work on issues such as: more
affordable housing, communal gardening, energy independence, children's
sustainable education, skill-sharing, health, and many more.

I'm a big supporter of the IFC and its mission. And I support its desire to create a new type of facility, a transitional facility for homeless men and the need to relocate somewhere. And I'm disappointed that there is opposition to the proposed site for that new facility. But I also think that the dialogue has gone beyond civility and that the neighborhoods adjoining the proposed site are being unfairly demonized. In the 12 years I have served on Town advisory boards I have seen many neighborhoods oppose many projects for many different reasons - some good, some bad, some rational, some irrational.

It's being discussed to death this week and we have a lot of background on it here, what do you think of the proposed relocation of the shelter to the corner of Homestead Road and Martin Luther King Blvd?

We also work t o raise awareness for many other teen reproductive health issues. Part of our goal for this year is to train and mobilize other young people across the state. We are doing this by hosting free trainings and events for young people!

by Chris Blue, Assistant Chief of Police Starting this weekend, the Chapel Hill Police Department plans to undertake a unique approach to hear about our community's expectations of us. Beginning on February 6th, we will hold a series of community conversations to hear how we are doing as an organization. Each session will last no more than two hours and will be managed by an outside facilitator. The input will be used to develop a strategic plan aimed at improving the community-oriented policing program in Chapel Hill.
We're hoping that residents, merchants, students, and other community stakeholders will attend one of the sessions to help us think about the following questions:
