BY MARY-KATHRYN CRAFT CITY EDITOR AND STACEY TURNAGE ASSISTANT CITY EDITOR After 10 years owning and overseeing the day-to-day operations of Pepper’s Pizza on Franklin Street. Erwin Shatzen is saying goodbye to the restaurant. Shatzen sold his half of the business to partner David Harvey on Valentine’s Day. Since the restaurant is staying in the control of one of its creators, it is not expected to change. Shatzen said. “In keeping it within the two of us, it shouldn’t change anything,” he said. “The food quality, consistency and the funk should stay the same.” Shatzen moved to Chapel Hill from Atlanta and opened the “funky” pizze ria with Harvey in 1987.

Andy McMillian, manager of Pepper’s, worked there from 1987 until 1994, when he said he left to open Lizard and Snake Cafe. McMillian said he would still run Lizard and Snake, but Harvey had recently asked him to come back and manage Pepper’s when he took sole ownership of the restaurant. “I was there when Pepper’s grew from a hole in the wall to the place it is now —a busy one,” McMillian said. He said he only wanted to make a few minor changes at Pepper’s. “I want to bring back late night, which is when we stay open until 2:30 a.m. on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights,” he said. “I always thought late night was chair outside a shelter at a hilltop high school gymnasium, waiting with his dog, Sandy, and his bird, A.

Many of the flooding vic tims drowned in cars stuck in high water.

In Louisville, crews were closing all 45 gates in the city’s flood wall along the Ohio and were preparing to reinforce them with 120,000 sandbags. Across the river in Indiana, riverfront communities started evacuating. But the worst damage was in smaller towns like Falmouth, a community of 2,700 about 30 miles southeast of Cincinnati.
