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.

thropic foundation to improve technol
ogy education in the Southeast.
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

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

have the technology in our schools.
How are we using it?’” Jones said.
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.”

Kilic, who co-owns a development
company in Marietta, Ga., was in
Yalova, 90 miles southwest of Istanbul,
with her children and in-laws, retired
doctors who also resided in Marietta,
Ga.
On Thursday, members of Mt. 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.”
