Going 'green' on Monday

Registration is open for the 14th Annual Chapel Hill-Carrboro Chamber Golf Classic, which benefits the Chamber's non-profit partner, the Foundation for a Sustainable Community. The tournament will be held Monday, May 12, at The Preserve at Jordan Lake. Register online at www.carolinachamber.org/ and join others on the tee and greens.

Even closer to home, the East Chapel Hill Athletic Booster Club will hold the 7th Annual "Chip in Fore East" Golf Tournament on Monday at the Chapel Hill Country Club. Check-in begins at 11 a.m. and the shotgun start is set for 1 p.m. (The original date of April 28 was a rainout.) Past tournaments have raised a significant amount of money for East athletics teams. For more information, contact Andy Morecraft at morecraft5@yahoo.com.

Tar Heel Voices

Would you rather watch a baseball game with Hillary Clinton, John McCain or Barack Obama?

Barack. He played competitive sports. He can still hit a three-pointer. Hillary is my second choice. Barack has a better understanding of the game. -- Roy Baroff, Pittsboro


Barack Obama -- he can have new ideas on how the game is played. -- Dan Hunt, Chapel Hill




Hillary, because I am a New York Yankee fan and a Chicago Cubs fan. A Cub fan because they never win, and a Yankee fan because they never lose. -- Joyce Kachergis, Chapel Hill


None of the above, but that has nothing to do with how I vote. But if I had to, it would be either Hillary or Barack, McCain might be an umpire's choice. -- Bill Sommers, Fearrington



Hillary, because I would like to hear about her experience from her time in Washington. Who cares about the ball game? I would just enjoying talking to a woman because we would have more in common. -- Linda Straughn, Chapel Hill
The Carolina Blue Sky of the NBA


I'll be previewing each round by highlighting the Carolina connections from the playoff teams, while my buddy Peter Wang (CHHS '04 and UNC '08, just like me) will highlight an X-factor that could be pivotal in each series.

To read the first preview go to The Carolina Blue Sky in the NBA, Part 1. To read the 2nd installment go to The Carolina Blue Sky in the NBA, Part 2.
