Franklin Patillo applies for town seat By Tiffany Ashhurst Staff Writer Disenchanted with campus politics, former student body president candi date Adrian Patillo said this week that he had applied for a seat on a town commission. “The SBP position is low on the food chain in real life, and I wouldn’t have been able to use it for the real world,” Patillo said. “I don’t know if I would call student government a real job at all.” Patillo, a junior radio, television and motion pictures major, applied about Local tornado victims receive long-term aid By Bill Blocker Staff Writer Hillsborough residents still are re covering from the tornado that struck the town Nov. 23, killing two residents, hospitalizing 10 and damaging more than 100 homes, local disaster relief officials said Wednesday. Although much of the physical dam age has been repaired, many town resi dents still suffer emotional trauma from the aftermath of the early morning tor nado. The Orange County Emergency Ser vices, an agency that met most people’s short-term needs immediately after the tornado, has continued to help victims, according to Nick Waters, director of Orange County Emergency Services. “We continue to work with victims and make sure all their long-term needs, Friends roast former mayor By Richard J. Dalton Jr. Staff Writer After chicken was fried and sliced, former Chapel Hill Mayor Jonathan Howes was roasted Thursday night by colleagues who hurled friendly insults at him. Howes, who is N.C. Secretary of Health, Environment and Natural Re sources, was roasted by Gov. Jim Hunt and about 13 others as part of the Chapel Hill-Carrboro Chamber of Commerce’s annual banquet at the Carolina Inn. Chamber members decided to roast Howes at their banquet this year to honor him for his new appoint ment to Hunt’s cabinet. Joel Harper, president of the chamber, said about 300 people paid $25 to attend the roast. Joe Hakan, chairman of the chamber’s Jonathan Howes board, emceed the event. A cardboard thermometer behind the podium displayed the intensities of the anecdotes and insults, which ranged from pre-heat and pink to well-done and crispy briquette. Each roaster’s monologue had a recipe name. Mayor Ken Broun presented what Hakan labeled “mayoral mush.” Broun said that when he was considering a run for mayor, he called Howes for advice. Broun proceeded to enumerate a David Letterman-like list of the top 10 lies Howes said of the job: ■ Lie number 10: You can preside over the Carrboro-Chapel Hill merger. ■ Lie number 9: Your tickets to the UNC basketball games will improve dramatically.

Bob Lockwood, executive director of the Orange County chapter of the American Red Cross, said the Red Cross had resources to help the tornado’s vic tims. The Red Cross offers counseling ser vices to help tornado victims and also can refer residents to other Orange County counseling agencies, he said. Andy Mulcahy, director of the Or ange County Family Counseling Cen ter, said tornadoes affected victims in varying degrees. “Those directly affected by the tor nado face a variety of effects from intru sive memories, a sense of a loss of control, nightmares, hyper-vigilance, that sort of thing,” Mulcahy said. Waters said tornadoes often caused mild fear and panic attacks for a long time after the storm. jtiKliyiyHf wJwßi • \ hb mm s * • ' sHy 'T IH§lmP JHF Ik jf? mm P HP’. -■■■' Sat DTH/Erin Randall Chapel Hill-Carrboro Chamber of Commerce Chairman Joe Hakan emcees roast ■ Lie number 8: The job will take you at most 20 hours a week. ■ Lie number 3: You can travel all around andTaxWatch will praise you in letters to the editor.

Serving on the Greenways Commis sion would be a good way to start small in local politics, he said. “I didn’t feel that I was ready for town council, and right now I am wait ing to see if I get on Greenways,” Patillo said.

Council member Mark Chilton, who also is a University student, said he thought students should get involved in local politics because they could pro vide a unique perspective. Patillo said he didn’t think that as a student, he would be taken less seri ously by town officials. “I haven’t had to deal with a lack of respect in the town yet because I am a student, but when people get to know See PATILLO, page 6 recovered from a tornado. “I know people who get scared when ever they hear a strong wind,” he said. Ruth Murphy, principal of New Hope Elementary School, said teachers and administrators acted quickly to help children in the tornado’s aftermath. “There was ongoing counseling for everyone whether they needed it or not as soon as the kids came back from school,” she said. The counseling services continued for about two weeks following the storm, Murphy said. Lockwood said the Red Cross now was distributing 45,000 to 60,000 bro chures to schools and libraries explain ing how to deal with hurricanes, torna does and fires. If another disaster were to strike, Lockwood said the Red Cross would be prepared to assist.

Under the proposed plan, health insurance would pay for 8Q percent of all medical services, and patients would be required to foot the bill for the Recycling aluminum can help UNC beat the Devils ByS.
