Chapel Hill’s Deer Population and Tex Driving Don’t Mix

It is very clear to see that we have an overpopulation of deer in the Town of Chapel Hill.
With that in mind it is for our own safety not to text and drive

Our City Council has been getting involved and a few months back there was a big town forum about our deer population and some of the solutions that we could employ to maintain control.

Chapel Hill does permit urban deer hunting within the corporate limits of our town and this deer hunting must be very well managed.  As of now we don’t believe that there are any financial ties to any of the deer hunting regulations.

Chapel Hill’s Deer Population and Tex Driving Don’t Mix

And this may seem a little random but it is very relevant.  Please do not text and drive in Chapel Hill. If you hit a deer while text-driving that does not count as deer hunting.  You could hurt yourself and your vehicle.  Many of us see both teens and adults texting while driving their vehicles around town and that’s not cool.  You may think that you have control but text driving is against the law and dangerous.  We really felt like that needed to be said just in case you didn’t know.  (Big Smile goes here)

Here are some links for more information about Deer Population Control or Text Driving Laws in North Carolina Cosgrove Hill Apartments in Chapel Hill.  Let’s help to keep our town one of the Best Places to Live in America

Grilled Salmon With Sweet Corn And Avocado Salad

May 20, 2010 by Keenan  
Filed under Food

The summer is approaching fast, even though it already seems to be here.  Whenever the sun is out it’s a deceleration of grilling season.  Here is a great grilling recipe for salmon and avocado.

Mmm... Salmon

This sweet corn and avocado salad is so delicious that it’s great on its own, too. You’ll know the salmon is cooked perfectly when the flesh just begins to flake with a fork. To learn how to make the salsa in this recipe, watch the Secret Ingredient cooking show.

Ingredients

Sweet Corn and Avocado Salad
4 ears fresh corn, kernels removed from cob
1 cup halved grape tomatoes
1/2 small ripe avocado, diced
1/4 cup chopped red onion
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons champagne vinegar
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar

Salmon
4 (4- to 6-ounce) salmon fillets
Canola cooking spray
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Method

For the salad, put corn, tomatoes, avocado, onion, cilantro, oil, vinegars, salt and pepper into a large bowl and toss gently to combine. Set aside.

For the salmon, preheat grill. Spray fillets all over with cooking spray, then season with salt and pepper. Place salmon, skin-side up, on grill. After about 2 minutes, turn salmon a quarter turn and cook 2 minutes longer. Flip salmon and grill until cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes more.

Remove salmon from grill and serve immediately, topped with corn and avocado salad.
