just use a text editor and remove that character.  as far as the July 
4th letter, I am also using a Mac and cannot see any problems /until/ i 
open the source.  then i see:

<meta name="ProgId" content="Word.Document">
<meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Word 10">
<meta name="Originator" content="Microsoft Word 10">

this is a *very* plain page that does not need the "added benefit" of 
being composed in Word 10 and then saved as HTML.  just create the page 
anew with basic HTML tags and everything should be fine.  or just use 
the XHTML file i have attached.

Letters  to the editor 
 
Council, UNC need to loosen review deadlines 
 
On Monday, June 23, I petitioned the Chapel  Hill Town Council to initiate 
a review of the time frames stipulated for review of UNC development applications 
under the new Office and Institutional 4 zoning  designation. The short review 
period specified in the ordinance provides insufficient time for either the Town 
Council or the planning board to review important modifications. The town is forced 
to try to act too quickly, and an adversarial relationship is encouraged between 
two entities that work best as  partners. 
 
Two nights later, my concern was validated as the town and university agreed to 
delay the vote on UNC's proposed parking decks in central campus in the interest 
of fuller discussion. The simple fact is  that 90 days is insufficient for 
an informed and properly deliberative review. On matters much less important than 
these parking decks, we on the planning board often take a second meeting before 
making a decision. This allows time for  staff to answer questions, for board 
members to research issues, and for informal discussions on areas of concern. 
 
University planning is too important both to the university itself and to the 
town to give the planning process short shrift. A longer time period for review 
will give town and gown the space to work together to come up with win-win solutions 
that best serve both. With major planning for Carolina North under way and with 
significant changes coming in for the main campus, now is the time for the town 
 to take a serious second look at these review periods.
