New Stores Coming to SouthPark

SouthPark, North Carolina's premier shopping destination, is pleased
to announce the addition of four new stores to its retail roster this
season. From clothing and accessories to nutritional supplements, the
brands offer a wide variety of products. The new stores include GNC,
Pandora, Tory Burch and Vera Bradley.

GNC opened the doors of its SouthPark store in May with special visits
from Panthers star DeAngelo Williams and Olympic gold medalist Nastia
Liukin. At more than 2,500 square feet, the new store is the largest
GNC store in the Charlotte area. The unique floor layout is divided
into four sections that showcase distinct product categories including
health and diet, vitamins, as well as fitness and sports nutrition.

Pandora, an international jewelry company based in Denmark, plans to
open its 804 square foot retail location between Godiva and Wentworth
Gallery in July. Pandora is best known for its popular charm
bracelets, customizable from a selection of over 800 handcrafted
silver and 14-kt gold charms. The SouthPark location will carry the
entire line of Pandora jewelry featuring a range of products from $25
sterling silver charms to 18-kt pave rings, which retail for more than
$1,600.

Tory Burch, a women's wear company best known for its sophisticated
American aesthetic at an accessible price point, is scheduled to open
its first store in the Carolinas in July. The store will occupy a
2,149 square foot retail space in the Neiman Marcus wing. Tory Burch
was launched in February 2004 as a lifestyle concept with multiple
product categories, including ready-to-wear, handbags, shoes and
jewelry. The SouthPark store will carry the full clothing line as well
as shoes, handbags and accessories.

Founded in 1982, the Vera Bradley concept and line of products was
developed by two friends as they sat in the airport and noticed a
distinct lack of feminine luggage. Fast-forward nearly thirty years
and the Indiana-based company continues to remain steadfast in its
commitment to excellent quality, exclusive designs and dependable
customer service. The SouthPark Vera Bradley store will occupy 1,789
square feet of space between Guess and Cache. The store, which will
carry the full line of Vera Bradley quilted luggage, handbags and
accessories, is expected to open in late July.

Will it change the demographics of my neighborhood?
• What moral and ethical issues are raised as we make decisions about
affordable housing?

Citizen feedback from these dialogues will be shared with the City

School Board launches comprehensive review of CMS

The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Board of Education launched a comprehensive
review of Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools at its June 8 meeting. The
review, expected to be completed by November, is intended to help the
Board align decision-making in multiple areas with the goals of the
district's strategic plan as well as take a consistent, strategic
approach to individual issues.

Titled "The Case for Continuous Improvement: A Comprehensive Review of
CMS," the review will address policies guiding such district
operations as magnet schools, transportation, boundaries, projected
enrollments, use of facilities and funding.
It will begin with a series of community forums in June. Click here to
view the Comprehensive Review Web site, which includes the list of
dates and times for the forums.

The community forums will be open to the public so that Board members
and district staff can hear public input on the guiding principles
used in decisions across CMS. The forums will be at three schools and
the Government Center.
"Current economic conditions, as well as a number of issues now
before us, have combined to create an opportunity for a comprehensive
review," said Eric C. Davis, chairperson of the Board. "All of us look
forward to involving the public in this important discussion."

The review will be conducted in a series of steps, some overlapping in
time.

The Board will hold four community forums and three workshops before
July 4.

"The workshops will enable us to start from a common set of facts and
data while also providing an opportunity for us to discuss the issues
and begin a constructive dialogue," Davis said. "The community
engagement forums will allow us to include the community on the front
end of this work by listening to their perspectives."
The Board will apply guiding principles to review CMS programs,
transportation, funding, bell schedules, student assignment,
facilities and capital needs to develop a comprehensive plan for the
2011-2012 school year.

MOREHEAD INN AND VANLANDINGHAM ESTATE WELCOME NEW CHEFS

The Morehead Inn and The VanLandingham Estate welcome Kevin Lynch as
their new Executive Chef and Christen Spotts as their new Sous Chef.
They will be responsible for providing the fresh, original food
selections the historic Inns have become reknown for as well as
overseeing Good Gracious! Events for offsite gatherings.

"The success we've enjoyed is based on the foundation of offering
our guests delicious Southern staples that are handmade from the
freshest ingredients," says Billy Maddalon, managing partner of Unique
Southern Estates who are the owners of The Morehead Inn and the
VanLandingham Estate. "It also takes unique talent in the kitchen and
that is what both Kevin and Chris bring to our team." Both Inns are
host to some of the most beautiful weddings, extravagant social events
and productive business meetings in the region.

Kevin Lynch became a chef as an outlet for his creativity. "I am
addicted to the creative aspect of what it is to be a chef," says
Lynch. "I combine that passion with my zeal for eating healthy and
staying in shape. This singular approach allows me to produce fresh
food creations that inspire, but are also healthy." Lynch is an
endurance athlete in addition to his duties as Executive Chef. Prior
to his leading the kitchen teams at The Morehead Inn and The
VanLandingham Estate, Lynch worked at the former Charlotte landmark
The Lamplighter, The Townhouse, Metropolitan Café and Something
Classic Catering.

Christen Spotts has been working in kitchens since he was 13 years
old. "I was influenced by my mother, the greatest cook I know, and
those I've worked - and learned from - throughout my 18 years of
cooking and creating," says Spotts. Known as a perfectionist, Spotts
is continually improving and honing his dishes. "My greatest
compliment is watching guests enjoy the fare I have created." Spotts'
career has allowed him to work in some of Florida's most respected
restaurants. He also was a District Sales Representative for a large
food purveyor, giving him the opportunity to experience a different
side of food service.

"A recipe to me is really an idea played out with food. I get in my
head, an idea, and it starts to spin - a little of this, a little of
that - and then you are off creating something new and making it your
own for other people to enjoy," adds Spotts.

A Georgian Revival-style Bed & Breakfast, the Morehead Inn is well-
known for corporate meetings, elegant weddings and unique social
events. It is located in the heart of historic Dilworth just minutes
from uptown Charlotte. It is listed on the Mecklenburg County Historic
Register and features personalized service, exceptional cuisine,
private suites and ample meeting space in exclusive surroundings.

Located in historic Plaza-Midwood, The VanLandingham Estate Inn &
Conference Center includes the historic Harwood home and five-acres of
gardens, designed by Lee Collier, with five treasure trees. Harwood,
designed by C.C. Hook, features nine private guest suites, a secluded
carriage house and a newly renovated Garden Room. Both the gardens and
the Estate are listed separately on the National Register of Historic
Places.

Disaster Preparedness - Debris Removal with Waste Management's Bagster

They're the types of services you rarely think about until they're
truly needed. Much like electricity for your home or gasoline in your
vehicle, most North Carolina residents may take their garbage and
recycling collection or even debris removal for granted under ordinary
circumstances, but after a severe storm or hurricane, these are the
services vital to beginning the recovery and revitalization process.

"Following a powerful hurricane strike, one of the most essential
needs for a community to begin recovery is the removal of debris and
the reliable return of its most vital services," said Randall Essick,
manager for Waste Management of North Carolina. "That's why we spend a
lot of time in the weeks and months prior to the start of hurricane
season focusing within our company on annual hurricane preparation and
recovery planning."

Each year, Waste Management staff review their local plans, re-
establish contact with local emergency authorities, and inspect and re-
stock their hurricane preparedness equipment and supplies. All this
and more is to ensure that employees are able to return to performing
their very essential collection jobs in the community as soon as
practical following a storm.

A new introduction in Waste Management's mix of hurricane preparedness
and recovery services this year is the Bagster bag. An innovation in
waste removal, Bagster is ideal in situations where there is a need to
discard more debris than can fit in a typical bin or garbage
receptacle, but not enough to require a dumpster. Bagster® bags are
strong enough to hold 3,300 pounds of severe storm and hurricane
debris items, such as tree stumps, large tree limbs, roofing shingles,
full sheets of plywood and sheetrock.

"After a significant storm blows through a community, there are few
more welcome signs of things getting back to normal than seeing North
Carolinians begin the rebuilding process," said Essick. "Once public
safety is restored, Bagster® allows residents to begin work on their
clean-up and restoration efforts quickly, use the bag for as long as
they want, then simply call Waste Management to schedule an effortless
and prompt pickup."

As part of its hurricane planning and pre-storm preparation, Waste
Management puts its hurricane response plan into action as soon as a
storm becomes a verified threat to the area.

In addition to the introduction of Bagster, Waste Management's
investment in emergency and storm recovery preparedness includes
stockpiling of supplies and needed rapid-response equipment, including
communications technologies and response vehicles. The effort includes
mobile "command centers" that include overnight functionality plus
satellite voice and data-enabled systems. These are stationed in
Georgia and Texas but are mobilized to be accessible anywhere in the
Southeast following a storm's impact.

The company also issues public advisories about storm preparation.
These include:
• Encouraging all residents and businesses to secure their garbage
cans and other trash containers in a safe location
• Reminders about preventing debris from becoming hazards to homes
and automobiles during high win
• Guidance on separating household garbage from storm debris after a
major storm strikes and tips on safe and proper disposal using a
Bagster bag or other products and services

After a storm, Waste Management also works to restart waste and
recycling collection and operations as soon as possible on streets
that are passable. Reminders to separate household garbage from storm
debris are issued. The company expands its routes to additional areas
as more streets become clear of debris and other impediments.

"Our value to a community is not always apparent unless collection
stops," said Essick. "Doing everything we can to prepare before and
return to service and help local residents recover after a crisis is
what being a good community partner is all about."

InChem Corporation of Rock Hill Launches New Website

InChem Corporation of Rock Hill, S.C., a leading supplier of custom
and specialty chemicals to some of the world's leading corporations,
has launched a new website at www.InchemCorp.com to promote its global
chemical business.

"Our company is best known for supplying phenoxy resins to major
manufacturers of adhesives, coatings, electronic products, composites,
abrasives and more," said Steve Crownshaw, president of InChem
Corporation. "We currently have a website at www.phenoxy.com created
several years ago to support our phenoxy resins business, particularly
from a technical perspective."

"But in recent years we have expanded significantly, producing a wide
range of custom, contract and specialty chemicals using our primary
production facility, which has 12 reactors, a wide variety of chemical
processing equipment, extensive new laboratory facilities and pilot
plant. The new InChemCorp.com website outlines these capabilities, as
well as our plant, equipment and technology base. We also have a team
of some of the leading chemists, engineers and industrial safety
experts in the country, whom we highlight on the new site."

Major chemical manufacturers, including many well-known international
firms, come to InChem to save time, money and risk, Crownshaw
explained. "It takes millions of dollars and many months or years to
set up a production facility for a new chemical product," he said. "We
offer the opportunity to make the products these customers need in the
required quantities without that capital expense, and with a faster
start-up. We allow these customers to better control their costs, as
well as decreasing the risks inherent in making a significant
investment of capital and other resources."

InChem Corporation has a 46-acre site at 800 Celriver Road just off
Interstate 77 in Rock Hill. It is part of a $150 million global
corporation with other plants in Lisbon, Portugal, and Johannesburg,
South Africa.

The new website was created for InChem by Lawrimore Communications
Inc. of Charlotte (www.Lciweb.com), a marketing and web design firm.
