Although the Town Commons and Farmer's Market will be for public use, organizers decided against using public money from taxes, said Patrick Davis, chairman of the task force. "Under the present approach, we hope we can fund this through funds raised via private efforts and volunteer efforts," Davis said. About $24,000 has been raised so far, which is enough to cover the Phase 1 costs of the project, the $21,000 designing job, which will Cfifflipuis Now You Can Afford It.

Under guidelines set forth by the Carrboro B oard of Aldermen, construc tion for each phase cannot begin until the task force has enough money to cover the estimated costs of that phase. As Town Manager Robert Morgan and the Board of Aldermen are review ing the preliminary plans, the task force is searching for $125,000 worth of capital and labor to cover Phase 2 plans, site preparation. "A substantial amount of that work could be done by in-kind contributions," Davis said.

"One of the obstacles we've run into is with the preliminary design ef fort still in a cloud, people are saying, 'Come back to our funding organiza tion once you have a final design,'" Davis said. "We're hoping that the final design will take about three to four months." The preliminary design has not been approved by the aldermen, so archi tects have not started the final plans. "I anticipate that sometime in May I will take it (the preliminary design) to the board," Morgan said. "The only con troversy to this point has been the band stand. "The board hasn't been comfortable with the way it looked. Most people Residents to clear town of litter in ninth G'HTTER Day activities By SUSAN WARD Staff Writer Chapel Hill residents have an oppor tunity to pitch in and clean up the town during the ninth CUTTER Day on Saturday. CUTTER (Get Litter) Day started four years ago to promote awareness of litter problems and to help clean up the community. Francis DiGiano and Margie Wood organized the first clean-up day in 1 986 and were pleased with the way it turned "out. They received encouragement from Director of Public Works Bruce Helflin, and together the three founded Clean scape Inc. Cleanscape has sponsored CUTTER Day twice a year, once in the fall and once in the spring, since 1986, DiGiano said. DiGiano said the trio formed the organization because of "concern for certain areas in the community that were in really bad shape." He said they (2) Southern Bel l, 1 L. j wanted the look of a gazebo, yet a bandstand is a much larger structure." Alderman Frances Shetley said she and aldermen Jay Bryan and Tom Gurganus were asked to form an ad hoc committee to refine the architects' sketches after the three expressed res ervations about the bandstand design. "I felt the architecture was not in fitting with the historic area in Carrboro," Shetley said. The bandstand had a "futuristic design," she said. The ad hoc committee changed the plans last month. While having a final design will help secure grants, the task force is using other fund-raising methods as well, Davis said. It is planning a benefit auction for September and held a Sun wanted to do something for the area that could involve citizens. He said the event started with just two people but now included anyone who was inter ested in participating. The cleanup will begin at 9 a.m. and continue until noon. Volunteers for the event are asked to meet in the parking lot of the Chapel Hill Police Station on Airport Road. Volunteers will receive roadside assignments, plastic bags, gloves and safety vests at the police station. Par ticipants are reminded to wear appro priate clothing and shoes, DiGiano said. Cash prizes of $50, $30 and $20 will be awarded to the three largest groups that participate. People who would like to help but cannot attend Saturday's activities are encouraged to get involved, DiGiano said. Trash bags will be available at all Chapel Hill and Carrboro branches of Central Carolina Bank from April 16- 1990 Southern Bell day brunch and band performance to gain public support. A homecomirlg celebration was held last June for alumni of a public school that was located in the present-day town hall, raising nearly $5,000. The construction site for the project was donated by the board. The complex's organizers wanted some thing that could be used for a Fourth of July celebration and the farmer's mar ket needed to be relocated, so the bdard has been very supportive of the projbct, Morgan said. The land now used for, the farmer's market is being leased ffom private owners. "It'll be more secure on land owned by the town," Morgan said. ' April 27 for people who want to clean up on their own. Cleanscape also sponsors the Profit able Image Enhancement (PIE) 'pro gram. This is a service similar to Adopt-a-Highway, a program where an or ganization is given a certain area of a road to keep clean. Cleanscape pays the groups for each bag of trash they col lect. The difference between Adopta Highway and Cleanscape is that Adopt-a-Highway deals with state and inter state highways and Cleanscape works with local roads. The Campus Y and Student Envi ronmental Action Coalition (SEAQ plan to participate in the event. Jimmy Langman, a senior from Charlotte who works with SEAC, said, "It is impor tant that students get involved in com munity affairs. We're residents of this area, and we should try to do things that help out more than just the campus.' DiGiano said about 50 to 100 people had participated in the past, but he was expecting an even greater turnout, this year. He said he was glad the event, was taking place so soon after the Earth Day celebration because "it will hopefully make more people aware of the envi ronmental problems." Daryl Grissom, a freshman from Salisbury, said he thought CUTTER Day was "a good idea because it makes students aware of the problem with litter in the community and it motivates them to do something about it." DiGiano said he encouraged anyone interested to help clean, and the project was a "good chance to show concern for our community." ftleed a roommate or a room? Use the DTH Classifieds!!!
