Coming tomorrow in The Chapel Hill News

Of course the big news is what people are saying at tonight's meetings on the possible Millhouse Road transfer station site and Carolina North. Those happened too late to make tomorrow's community paper. Here are the headlines there:

5,000 APPEALS: That's how many property owners challenged their revaluations during the informal appeals process that just ended. Abut 55 percent of the appeals resulted in changed values, "99.5 percent" of them lower, says Tax Assessor John Smith. Read why some other property owners also had their valuations lowered -- without even having to ask.

ARTS AND MUSIC: What do puberty and budget cuts have to do with each other? (OK, got your attention?) Read correspondent Colin Campbell's story to find out why fewer teachers could mean fewer boys in school chorus next year. (And a big thanks to Colin, who started his new job at the Smithfield paper yesterday. We will be looking for a part-time writer to pick up his police blotter in the coming weeks.)

FREEDOM HOUSE: We ran out of room for this story in Sunday's paper. Julian March reports on Freedom House's $2 million-plus expansion and what it means for substance abusers trying to get clean.

JUNETEENTH: Ernest Dollar's parents had a sense of humor. And to his credit, so does Dollar, the director of the Preservation Society of Chapel Hill. But there's nothing funny about his lecture on slavery in Orange County tomorow. Read what he has to say about it in the My View column on the front page.

Plenty more, including the return of "What's Up With That?", in which we tell you what that big pile of dirt on Eubanks Road is all about.

As always, thanks for reading,

Mark
