2 Friday, October 4,1996 Another coffee shop to open on Franklin BY KELLY GILBERT STAFF WRITER One of the most popular business trends to hit Chapel Hill in recent years has been coffee shops. Now the space formerly occupied by the Hub on Franklin Street is set to be come the newest coffee shop in Chapel Hill. Robert Humphries, director of the Downtown Commission, said the large number of coffee shops in town responded to customer demand. “People are drinking coffee now,” he said. The new coffee shop is in the negotia tion stage, and as soon as the deal is finalized, the store’s name will be re leased, said Dale Sloan, building owner. There are six coffee shops in the area of Franklin and Rosemary streets, Humphries said. Humphries said the local economy was capable of supporting a large num ber of coffee shops. Some of the local coffee shops said they are feeling the strain of the increased competition. The Carolina Coffee Shop, which has JAR HEEL SPORTS SHORTS TODAY AT CAROLINA!

Wall, who has worked for the Caro lina Coffee Shop for several years, said he has witnessed a decline in business at the 74-year-old landmark as coffee shops have grown in popularity. He also pre dicted that the number of Chapel Hill coffee shops would continue to increase. “(Coffee drinking) is such a trendy thing,” Wall said. “TTie demand is there because there is money to be made in this business." Charlie Utter, market operations man ager at Caribou Coffee, said the market was nowhere near full. “In comparison to Seattle, we don’t see saturation,” he said. Utter said consumers will determine the saturation of the market by how they spend their money. Utter said he was not too worried about the new shop’s effect on his busi ness. “What we’ve found is (anew shop) affects our business in the short term, but we get business back in the long term.” UNIVERSITY & CITY School board debates Hurricane Fran makeup days BYSARAGRIFFITT STAFF WRITER The Chapel Hill-Carrboro Board of Education approved a plan Thursday night to allow schools to make up the three days they have already missed this year. Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools were closed on Sept. 6,8 and 9 this year when Hurricane Fran swept through the area. Both students and teachers must make up all of these days. According to state statutes, forgiving days missed due to inclement weather is not an option until at least five days have been missed.

Pederson then provided a list of the “three least objectionable days” in the first half of the year that schools could begin making up the days with: Oct. 25, Nov. 5 and Nov. 27. Diane Brown, chairwoman of Orange County Board of Elections, spoke to the board about the possible use ofNov. 5 as a make-up day. She urged the board to choose another day because many of the Chapel Hill- Carrboro City schools are used as places interview with potential employers via VlEWnet, a videoconferencing technol ogy that allows audio and video commu nication through a personal computer. “The company was formed in 1992 with the knowledge that PC-based data sharing and videoconferencing was in the cards sooner or later,” David Cunningham, founder of VlEWnet, “A lot ofother street fairs get bigbands and outsiders for entertainment pur poses, ” she said. “But we showcase local talent and allow students to show their work. I’m proud that we’ve been able to maintain that tradition.” Walbom said the best part of her ef forts was watching the local talents un fold, working their way up from commu nity involvement to more widespread recognition. “The most rewarding aspect of my job to vote. “I was dismayed whenlheardNov. 5, which was supposed to be a holiday, might be turned into a Fran makeup day,” she said. Brown cited safety as a major reason for keeping Nov. 5 a holiday. Many people vote on their way to work, which is around the same time school children would be getting dropped off at school, she said. The fact that this year is a presidential election year increases the number of voters drastically, she added. Most of the board said they agreed holding school on the Nov. 5 election day would not be a wise choice. “I am convinced it would be very unwise to hold shod on Election Day,” stated in a press release. Organized in conjunction with VlEWnet Inc. and participating univer sities’ career services offices, the first time job fair is designed to draw employ ers who otherwise would not come to the college campuses. To date, 18 companies have agreed to participate in the November job fair, in is seeing more and more teenagers and adults wanting to participate,” she said. “This is a jumping-off point for them, so it’s really wonderful to watch them fur ther develop their talents.” Mike Loveman, the director of the Department of Parks and Recreation, has worked with Walbom for seven years. He said he admired her efforts to provide the public with good entertainment from within the community. “I am most impressed with the energy and creativity that she accomplishes things with by using such limited re sources,” he said. “We have a low bud get, but by relying on the community Carol has continued to draw in thou sands and thousands of people each year. I think it’s a real testimonial to her efforts that she has kept it so interesting and enjoyable for so many folks.” As the fair’s coordinator, Walbom is in charge of registering exhibits, process ing money and organizing volunteer committees that are responsible for such tasks as selecting the artists and crafters. She is also responsible for the fair’s pub licity campaign. Lisa Baaske, Walbom’s supervisor, said Walbom’s work as an instigator had benefited the annual fair. “Carol is one of the neatest people I’ve Campus Calendar Friday 6:30 p.m., 9 p.m., 11:30 p.m.-The Caro lina Union Activities Board Film Committee will present Whitney Houston in Waiting To Exhale in the Union Film Auditorium.

Pederson suggested the board use only Oct. 25 in the fall, making up the other two days in the spring, specifically, Jan. 21 and May 17. If those two days were used, both Winter and Spring breaks would be left intact and school would not have to be extended into the summer, he said. Some board members expressed con cern over the use of Oct. 25 as a makeup day because it falls at the end of the first grading period. The day was originally supposed to be used as a day for teachers to work on grading. However after some discussion, the board voted unanimously to implement Pederson’s plan. eluding Sears, AT&T, 3M and the Na tional Security Agency.

But as the head of arts and special events, she somehow manages to coordi nate a pottery program and a summer day camp for the area youth. She is also the coordinator for the teen center, an after-school program that provides teen agers with social activities. Walbom said enhancing the commu nity with cultural events was what she was meant to do. “I’m a musician and an artist and I’ve been involved in recreation since I was 16,” she said. “The combination of these three things makes this a perfect job for me. “I love having the opportunity to work in a cultural arena and provide the com munity with affordable cultural experi ences, especially since not everyone has the money to buy tickets to a theater show or art gallery,” she said. Walbom has definite plans to con tinue her efforts with Festifall and Apple Chill. “They are the high point of my job." Union 226. God still works miracles.
