4 Thursday, March 7, 2002 Aldermen Decide to Cut Several Town Programs The chosen budget cuts will keep Carrboro from having to use town reserve funds to cope with the shortfall. By Nate DeGraff Staff Writer There will be no fireworks at Carrboro’s Fourth of July celebration this year. Residents might notice a few more weeds popping up at town parks this spring. Street conditions might deteriorate faster than motorists have come to expect The state’s financial crisis has hit Carrboro. Faced with nearly half a million dollars in revenue shortfalls, the Carrboro Board of Aldermen slashed several town pro grams for the rest of the fiscal year at Kudzu mtrnm F 1 PONJ’T mimdtwe I V J rt'STUEGRINPirJGTHEIR /\ ]/ 7\ GfimW V TSE7H ~WAT6ETS ME ' ' 1 Jms (I 1 N Tac^Or" HMDif e 9 u^ar the Free W |K J _Wm coupon p.*r person per visit | I Miami Subs Plus restaurants only.

Mike Easley announced the state would withhold funds from local governments across North Carolina, including nearly $300,000 from Carrboro. Lost interest earnings and sales tax revenues due to the recession further damaged the town’s financial situation. Residents will barely notice some cuts - the town will delay a $ 130,000 financing payment and slice 10 acres off a planned 27-acre public works land purchase -but others might be more perceptible. On Tuesday, the board discussed changes to the town’s street resurfacing schedule. Seventeen years ago, the town adopted a street maintenance plan that has earned praise from transportation analysts. In 2001, only 1 percent of the town’s 35- mile street system rated poorly, according to a recent report by the Institute for Transportation Research and Education. But the board, feeling the budget pinch, voted to cut the town’s annual contribution to the street plan in half. Chris Peterson, the town’s public works director, said the town’s foresight made the cut possible. “Currently, the streets as a whole are rating in the top part. I’m comfortable standing here tonight and telling you this plan will work.” Slip Sail if ear Mrri RO. Box 3257, Chapel Hill.

Robert Morgan, Carrboro town manager, clarified these cuts for the board. “You’ll just have to accept that you’ll have the grass cut less and have more weeds in places like down town at the Century Center,” he said. But residents still will be able to reserve the Century Center for business meetings and social occasions. The board considered suspending reservations for the remainder of the fiscal year, which ends June 30, but decided THE Daily Crossword B y jame,E.Bueti ACROSS 1 Zest competitor 5 Knickknack spot 10 Cool hand in the kitchen 14 Neighbor of Sumatra 15 Vietnamese capital 16 -friendly 17 With 61 A, flips 19 Of sound mind 20 Jonas of bacte riology 21 Nuclear prohi bition 23 Too 26 Take ten 27 Wrap up 28 Flips 31 In the style of 32 Truant from the troops 33 Choice of what came first 34 Carte du jour 36 Ginger 38 Dagger handle 42 British rule over India 45 PDO relative 48 When it's light 49 Flips 54 Imitate 55 Comic strip pup 56 Threat ender 57 Sheer silk fab tic 59 Chooses 60 Lotto variant 61 See 17A 66 Huron/Ontario separator 67 Take by force 68 Puerto 69 Cozy retreats 70 At bay in a bay 71 Certain feds DOWN 1 Platter spinners 2 "At Seventeen" singer Janis 3 Ms. Gardner 4 Backslides 5 Lacking depth 6 Cut ruthlessly B~ ~ S| eTrWlT' I nl el S[tlate T F j A |s| E j fT|BB~sTh | I |E| R | 1 C E U ~P~PPBS PEE D W A Y LING O E sMa F|F AIRE STTH R V I N a w a sThßMbr u[bjo|ufTßß IFIAI SI H| I IOIN I eTdMaTd |A|G |E | j- BRAKES J 50% OFF Pads and Shoes | Coupon Must Be Presented At Time Of Estimate • Expires 5/30/2002 | is Not Good On Warranty Work Or Previous j S2O OFF I I Exhaust Consisting Of Connector Pipe, Muffler & Tailpipe | | Coupon Must Be Presented At Time Of Estimate • Expires 5/30/2002 | I Coupons Not Good On Warranty Work Or Previous Work I 'msssGsmsm $lO OFF A Transmission Power Flush I Coupon Must Be Presented At Time Of Estimate • Expires 5/30/2002 I Coupons Not Good On Warranty Work Or Previous Work The University of North Carolina at Wilmington Call us at 910.962.3243 or 800.228.5571 Email us: summer@uncwil.edu or visit www.uncwil.edu/summsch UNCW is an equal opportunity/affirmative action institution. against the measure. “Stopping taking reservations is like saying we’re closing the Century Center,” said Alderman Mark Dorosin. “I think that’s inappropriate.” The debate continued on two of the town’s trademark celebrations - Carrboro Day and the July 4th celebration.
