2 Monday, November 3,1997 Patients to benefit from Sunshine Run ■ The first-ever Sunshine Run honored 4-year-old Darien Brown’s memory. BY BETH HATCHER STAFF WRITER N.C. Children’s Hospital held the first-ever Sunshine Run on Sunday to brighten the lives of its pediatric patients and their families. Runners of all ages lined South Road on Sunday at the start of a race that wound its way through Chapel Hill in search of a lot more than a finish-line. Heather Crouse, who works in the patient relations at UNC Hospitals, came up with the idea for the race. “I’ve been running all my life,” she said. “This race combines all my pas sions running, kids and medicine.” The Sunshine Run included a 5K race and Darien’s Dash, a 1-mile fun run for children. The race will benefit a fund set up to honor the memory of 4-year-old Darien Brown, a patient of the hospital who died in 1997 from a rare brain tumor.

Lou Asmuth had the fastest time in the women’s 55-59 age group: 28-min utes, 15 seconds. “I enjoyed running the race and being out in the fresh air,” Asmuth said. Julie Neilson of Chapel Hill was the top female winner of the 5K run. She finished with a time of 19:33. Mark Andrews, also of Chapel Hill, was the top male winner with a time of 14:29. Twenty-five children competed in the fun-run, and around 350 people com peted in the 5K race, Crouse said. “I’m in my pediatric clinical rotation at the moment,” said Maria Javelona, a senior nursing major from Charlotte. “This is a good way to volunteer for the hospital and help children.” Dave Edwards, a graduate student in the Department of Statistics, said, “Running some races keeps me in shape and keeps my mind off statistics. This beats drinking beer and watching foot ball.” The awards ceremony was held on Fetzer Field.

Dave Ryan, press officer for the EPA, said recent studies reported that current ozone and air particu late levels were danger ous for Americans. “We found that mil lions of Americans were not protected under the old standards, and tougher measures were needed to protect pub lic health,” Ryan said. The new regulations, which decrease the amount of ozone and air particulates allowed in the atmosphere, will not actually go into affect until well into the 21st century.

Ryan said he recognized the cost involved with changing the standards. “The EPA will bend over backwards to come up with the most cost-effective alternative that will most benefit public health without harming the economy.” But Bill Weatherspoon, executive director of the North Carolina Petroleum Council, said whatever measures were enforced would harm North Carolina’s economy. “The new standards proposed by the EPA will definitely hurt North Carolina because we are a state in which all counties are in compli ance with current standards,” he said. “The proposed regulations means that 20 to 30 counties will be in non-attainment (non compliance) with the current standards, which means very costly changes.” Weatherspoon said the EPA mislead the pub lic about the current health risks and used the new measures for political gain. “Business and industry have been told that the EPA is trying to implement regulations in 1W Crouse said the run would become an annual event and that although it was Campus calendar Monday 7:30 p.m. The Dialectic and Philanthropic Societies will debate “Resolved: That the forces of union in the United States are stronger than the forces of disintegration,” in the annual Century Debate on the third floor of New West.

Exp 11/8/97 Sfjp Sailg (Ear Mrri Leaders react to options for new landfill ■ County officials said there were three primary issues still needing work. BY SHELLEY LEVINE STAFF WRITER Local officials said they were not alarmed when Orange County Commissioners discussed new options for the Orange County Regional Landfill just one month before the arbi trary deadline. At a brainstorming session Thursday night, the commissioners mentioned options, such as appointing an adviso ry committee to manage the landfill. They also suggested the county take responsibility for the new landfill or ask Carrboro or Hillsborough to operate it. Dec. 1 is a flexible arbitrary deadline for the groups to come to a joint deci sion regarding the solid waste manage ment reorganization plan. Carrboro Alderman Jacquelyn Gist said she was confident there would be a solution at least before Valentine’s Day. She said it was fine that members of the county met to discuss options. “There’s always a point where it seems like it will never work out, but then it all falls together,” Gist said. “We’re in crisis mode, and as things come to a head we’ll reach a solu tion as a community.” Orange County Board of Commissioners Chairman Bill Crowther said the board met because there were three issues between the gov ernments that were unlikely to be resolved before the deadline. The issues are the selection of a future waste management site and the approval of the 14 community benefits. The governments must also decide the future of Greene Track, a parcel of land owned by Chapel Hill, Carrboro and Orange County, purchased by the Landfill Owners Group as a future land fill site but cannot be used because of its position relative to Horace Williams Airport. “There will be no agreement until these three issues are resolved,” he said. No decisions were made Thursday because the meeting was simply an informal workshop for discussion. “They’re right to list and discuss options (about the landfill),” Chapel Hill Town Council member Joyce Brown said of the meeting. The recent discovery of the site’s unavailability threw a kink into every one’s plans, said Brown. “Things have come apart since we learned that.” The groups were originally eyeing a site, which turned out to have been released by Duke University to NASA for a research easement months ago. Council member Julie Andresen said the county’s meeting was reasonable. She said, “We have to agree on a way to do this together, and it’s going to take a lot of work and discussion.” TJ-t You ’re invited to a Workshop... “Writing Effective Application Essays” Nov. 4 from 4-6 pm Room 318, Greenlaw DIANA McDUFFEE RE-ELECT Carrboro Board off Aldermen • Proven leadership for diversity & affordability • Advocate of sustainable community • UNC-Chapel Hill Health Sciences librarian Paid for by Diana McDuffee Campaign
