Franklin St. Skirmish
Sends Man to Hospital
A knife was pulled at the
beginning of the fight, but
it was not the cause of any
of the injuries incurred.

Staff Writer
A weekend fight on Franklin Street
began after a knife was revealed, pro
voking a scuffle between five men.
The victims, three men from Fort
Bragg Army Base, were walking on
Franklin Street at about 2:30 a.m.
Sunday near the Columbia Street inter
section, where they were confronted by
two men from Durham.
According to police reports, the con
frontation began after one of the three
men from Fort Bragg accidentally
bumped into a car. The passengers in the
car, twin brothers, Darrick Dawan Bright
and Derrick Lashawn Bright, got out of
the car and showed a knife, starting a
fight with the three men, reports state.
Chapel Hill police spokeswoman
Jane Cousins said that although a knife
was involved, no one was injured by the
weapon.
“The injuries were a result of the
fight, but the knife was knocked on the
ground, and it remained there until the

Apple Chill: More Folks, Less Worry
By Tricia Barrios
Staff Writer
Thorough planning and departmen
tal communication combined to make
Sunday’s Apple Chill street fair one of
the smoothest in the festival’s history.
Town departments prepared for the
worst and held open discussions
between the departments to prevent dis
turbances at the annual event.
Parrish Anderson, the event coordi
nator at the Chapel Hill Parks and
Recreation Department, said he was
amazed at the fair’s success. “1 was
floored with how well everything went,”
he said. “It was just beautiful.”
Anderson estimated that at least
30,000 people attended this year’s
event. “There were more people than at
previous fairs,” he said. “If you were on
the street, you moved pretty slowly.”
Anderson credited the good showing
to promotional efforts for the fair and to
a sculpture showing on McCorkle Place
across from the post office.
Anderson said he started preparing
for the Apple Chill event three months
ago when he began working for the
Parks and Recreation Department.
Anderson said he found it important

to pay attention even to small details so
that everything would go well.“My nit
pickiness drove me to check every sin
gle thing,” he said. “I was scared that
something would go wrong.”
He said the major problem was con
gestion largely due to UNC programs
that were held the same day and
Sunday’s church services. “We had a lot
of traffic,” he said. “A lot of the work was
keeping people in cars comfortable and
managing people traffic.”
Anderson said another minor prob
lem was keeping dogs out of the fair
area, because none were allowed.
He said one reason for the fair’s suc
cess was the cooperative effort of other
town departments, such as Public Works
and the police department.
“There was lots of communication
between departments,” he said. “That
was huge. We were all making changes
to improve things we saw.”
Anderson singled out the police
department for its behind-the-scenes
work. “The police were fantastic,” he
said. “You didn’t see them, but they
were there keeping things safe.”
Jane Cousins, spokeswoman for the
police department, said 70 officers who
were prepared for the worst were sta-
