Health fair
puts spotlight
on HIV virus
■ Vendors described the
fair as great publicity for
various types of treatment.

Soothing backs with free massages
and ears with live music, the
Community Wholistic Health Center of
Carrboro kicked off its Wholistic
Health Fair on Saturday.
“This is a publicity event for the ven
dors and a fimd-raising event for the
HTV clinic,” said one of the fair’s coor
dinators, Michele Rimmer, who works
as an office administrator for the
CWHC and the Carolina School of
Massage in Carrboro.
The HIV clinic is a free service the
CWHC offers twice a month to people
living with HIV, in which volunteer
practitioners provide various therapies
like massage and acupuncture.
Money raised by a silent auction at
the health fair will defray the cost of
supplies so the clinic can continue to be
offered free of charge, Rimmer said.
For Michael Alexander, one of the
many vendors who came and set up
information tables and answered ques
tions at the fair, these defrayed costs
made a difference.

came to the health fair not only to help
raise money for the clinic, but also to
publicize his services. “There are only
around 80 acupuncturists in the state,”
he said. “It’s still relatively new, and I’m
here to answer questions and get expo
sure for my business.”
Rio Watson, who with her husband
operates the LaHo-Chi Institute in
Hillsborough, said she worked with four
HTV patients to help them develop their
innate healing abilities.
She said she viewed the fair as an
advertising opportunity.
“This is to put ourselves out into the
community and let people know about
us,” Watson said.
Tonya Adams, owner of Word of

consulting and catering company, said
she was asked to provide food at the
event.

“I sent my information to the Health

Adams said.
“It’s good advertising, and it’s a good

she said.
But some attendees were drawn to
the fair for different reasons.
“I really like the band,” said Josh

3-on-3 basketball tournament
benefits Habitat for Humanity
BY SEAN ROWE
STAFF WRITER
A slew of successful three-point shots
highlighted Sunday’s championship
game in Kappa Sigma fraternity’s
Backyard Basketball Classic, an annual
fund-raiser for Habitat for Humanity.
“The team that won was shooting
three-pointers the whole time,” said
Wilkes Graham, co-chairman for the
tournament.
The Nads, composed of Robert
Burleigh, Anthony Montanari and Dan
Hickeg, defeated Team Tony with a
score of 11-9.
“The team that won it last year was
beaten in the finals,’’ said Jonathan
Windham, co-chairman of the tourna
ment.
The Nads won S3OO, scoring the
majority of their points from three-point
shots, Graham said.
Kappa Sigma hopes that a victory on
the basketball court will lead to a more
charitable victory off the court,
Windham said. To that end, the award

Instead of fighting through campus
crowds to get to class, some students will
spend next semester working and taking
classes in Washington.
The students will be the first partici
pants in the Washington Policy
Semester, anew program which will
give students interested in public policy
careers a chance to intern in government
and non-profit organizations.
The purpose of the program is “to

money does not come from donations.
Each member of the 15 teams paid $5
a person to play each other in four
rounds of first double-elimination, then
single-elimination basketball during the
weekend fund-raiser held in Woolen
Gym. The prize money came from entry
fees, Windham said.
Although women were eligible, none
turned out to play basketball against the
men. No one from Kappa Sigma made
it to the championship either.
To reach this year’s fund-raising goal,
the fraternity posted flyers and solicited
sponsorships from local businesses like
to spend a semester in Washington,”
said Michael Luger, professor of city
and regional planning.
To qualify for the program, a student
must be a junior or senior and express a
professional and academic interest in
public policy. They must also have
coursework in public policy.
“It’s not just to go to Washington for
the fun of it,” Luger said.
He said the program was “a combi
nation of study (and) internship in an
affordable way."
Luger said the program’s cost would
be the same as regular tuition and hous
ing.
Approximately eight students will be
chosen to participate.
Luger said the University had a his

Washington, and the program would

He gave the example of Michael
Stegman, a city and regional planning
professor who served in two presidential
administrations, had good Washington
connections and could help students.
“I think it’s an awesome opportuni

political science major from Hickory

She said the opportunity to work and
take classes at the same time was ideal.
Participants will take a full set of

They are also required to take a week
