Sffp Satly (Tar Uppl School Grant Totals $15,000 Bv Walter Herz Staff Writer Technology education in Chapel Hill- Carrboro City Schools received a finan cial boost from Bell South Corp. on Thursday night. During a routine Chapel Hill- Carrboro Board of Education meeting, Don Hathcock, N.C. vice president of Bell South, awarded a $15,000 grant to Superintendent Neil Pedersen. Pedersen said the grant would help to improve technology programs at local schools.“We appreciate this award, which will allow us to put together a small team to develop a vision of tech nology in our district,” he said. “It is a wonderful opportunity for us to enhance our vision of technology.” Pedersen is the only superintendent in the area that received a grant from the Bell South Foundation, said Whitney Jones, director of corporate and external affairs for Bell South. Jones said the grant was part of “edu.pwr3,” an initiative by the philan Quake Rips Apart Atlanta Family Associated Press ATLANTA - Four children from the Atlanta suburbs and their paternal grandfather are believed to be the only Americans among the 7,000 people confirmed dead in this week’s earth quake in Turkey. While her children were dying around her, Jan Kilic managed to sur vive 16 hours of being trapped under the rubble of the five-story building where the family had been staying on vacation. Her relatives in suburban Atlanta said Thursday that Kilic, 37, her 2-year old daughter, Natalie, and her mother in-law, Tukan, were the only survivors of at least 100 people in the building. Jan and Tukan Kilic were in inten sive care, while Natalie only had a black eye. Four of Kiiic’s children - Jeffrey, 6, Jennifer, 5, David, 2, and Katie, 9 months -and her father-in-law, Nizam, were killed in the deadly earthquake in Turkey. “My sister is an extremely religious person,” said Jan Kiiic’s brother Billy Kemp. “She realizes that it’s a miracle from (!od that Natalie survived. “That’s the silver lining in the tragedy,” Kemp said. Her husband, Dr. Babur Kilic, who is of Turkish descent, had planned to join the family on their vacation Saturday. Instead, he flew from Georgia to Turkey on Wednesday to make funeral arrangements for his wife and daughter. Kemp said the family learned on Thursday what had happened Thursday, when Babur called them on his cell phone from the American hos pital in Istanbul. “It was the first time we’ve actually heard from my sister directly,” Kemp said.

The edu.pwr3 initiative is a three pronged program, Jones explained. “The first part was aimed toward superintendents,” Jones said. “We want to make sure that they are better informed about technology.” Jones said the grant would help Pedersen and a selected group of spe cialists learn important technology skills and shape the future of technology edu cation in Chapel Hill and Carrboro city schools. “It’a good way for them to spend money on themselves to gain valuable knowledge,” she said. “It will be a continuing process for (Pedersen) and his team.” Jones said the second part of the ini tiative would be geared toward training teachers how to use computers and other technologies. The third part, she said, would pay for a study on how three to five schools of diverse backgrounds and populations have been impacted by technology. “What we have to say is, ‘Alright, we “My mom and dad spoke to her.” Kemp said that after the earthquake hit, his sister was alert and able to com municate her location to rescuers. He also said that Kilic suffered suf fered painful head, neck and lower back injuries. Her mother-in-law suffered a stroke and internal injuries. Kemp, the rescuers who saved Kilic, her daughter and mother-in-law had ignored Turkish officials who wanted them to leave the building because there was a gas leak. “They refused to leave,” Kemp said. “Because they didn’t leave they were able to save the only three survivors. “If that’s not a touching story, I don’t | j CAA Awareness Week I August 23-25 | The CAMPUS Y HAS LEAMRgHIf POSITIONS AVAILABLE NOW! 0# you lute working wnn children?

Jones said Pedersen went through a two-month process to win the grant “He had to apply and write a grant application, which, as anyone knows, is like writing a paper for school,” she said. She also described competition for the grant as “not extremely competitive, but competitive.” Jones said the main purpose of the Foundation’s edu.pwr3 program is to make sure that superintendents, teachers and students are all on the same level. “The children are not the only ones who should learn about technology,” Jones said. “The superintendents and the teachers need to learn as well. If these individuals don’t understand tech nology, the children won’t get the edu cation they need.” “If everyone has the knowledge, that’s going to have the greatest impact on the children.” The City Editor can be reached at citydesk@unc.edu. know one,ae he said.

Zion Baptist Church in Sandy Springs, which the Kilics attended for the past six years, spoke fondly of Kilic and remembered her four children’s smiling faces and bright eyes. “The nursery workers always fought over who would take care of her kids,” said Gwen Jenkins, Mt. Zion Baptist church’s preschool minister. “It’s a big loss for our church.” News 1 ■■■ —~ins 1 , ■ ..'.-.i'll: ■■■ Ti" , Don't forget that DTH applications are still available in Suite 104 of the Student Union.
