Abstract:

Chapel Hill resident Sadie Rapp decided to “go green” for her recent bat mitzvah. Making decorations, Rapp and her family repurposed garbage and recycled materials and encouraged guests to walk or carpool to the event. Rapp also decided to donate a portion of her gifts to charity and her blog on the experience has gained national attention from rabbis. Rapp said it is up to those who have completed their bat mitzvah to be responsible and take care of the world.

Abstract:

Superior Court Judge Howard Manning has ruled in favor of Southern Durham Development and their project to develop land around Jordan Lake. The development was disputed because some argued the development fell within the protected zone around the lake. Manning stated that the fight that happened as a result was due the planning department and their mistakes. Many residents are upset as the development may threaten Jordan Lake and increase pollution in the area.
