Bad Bugs Are We Ready? A Talk on Pandemics June 6.

 Diseases such as avian influenza, SARS and drug-resistant tuberculosis
 have dominated headlines recently. But how much do we really know? How
 do these diseases spread? What measures are in place to detect, contain
 or treat these diseases? Is our community ready to respond in the case
 of an outbreak?
 
 Physician Martha Salyers and veterinarian Jennifer Huffman will address
 these and other questions during a talk on "Bad Bugs: Defending Against
 Pandemics" at 7 p.m., Tuesday, June 6, at UNC Asheville's Reuter Center.
 The event, which is free and open to the public, is part of the N.C.
 Center for Creative Retirement's Health Education Series.
 
 Naturalists SIG.
A number of the students who have been enrolled in the Blue Ridge Naturalist
program are interested in starting a SIG for NCCCR members who
share an interest in the natural world. An organizational meeting will be held
on Tuesday, June 6 from 5:00 to 6:30 pm in room 206 of the Reuter Center.
A short video on herbs for health will be shown, followed by a meeting to
discuss what activities members would enjoy. Organizers have been discussing
hikes, movie nights, canoe trips, etc. For more information you may e-mail Laleah Adams at laleaha@bellsouth.net or Fred Roane at froane@hotmail.com.

Farmland Research Group Seeks Community Participants June 8.

The Farmland Values Project, a three-year research project supported by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and centered at UNC Asheville, is holding small community discussions with residents of Buncombe, Haywood, Madison and Henderson counties. The project hopes to meet with
members of these four counties to record their thoughts about ways that local farmland contributes to their lives and communities. The group is especially interested in people who have moved to western NC to retire.

Information and opinions from these meetings will be combined with other data to guide decisions about farmland use in rural communities.

The next meeting will be held from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m. on Thursday, June 8th, on the UNCA campus. If you are interested in participating, please contact Daniel O’Leary by phone at 828/250-3866 or by e-mail at doleary@unca.edu.
