Bus Proposal Does Not Include Free-Fares
The Carrboro Board of
Aldermen wait to hear an
alternate proposal that
would cost taxpayers less.
Bv Russ Lane
Staff Writer
Students hoping to catch a free ride
on local buses will have to wait as an
alternate proposal benefitting nonstu
dents seems more feasible.
The free-fare proposal was originally
intended to provide students and resi
dents in Carrboro and Chapel Hill with
free bus fare.
Summer Offers Variety of Recreation for Youth
Summer camps and recre
ational sports allow area
residents to enjoy a fun
filled and active summer.
Bv Jenny Rosser
Staff Writer
With the arrival of summer, town
recreation staff are gearing up for activ
ities ranging from camps to cooking
classes aimed to keep youth and adult
residents busy during the hot months.
Both the Chapel Hill Parks and
Recreation Department and the YMCA
are preparing for a season filled with
swimming, biking, fishing and countless
other activities.
Kim Grooms, youth and family
director for the YMCA, said three main
camps were offered by the department
during the summer.
Grooms said camps included
Clearwater and All-Star Sports, both of
which were catered towards six to 12
year-olds, while Camp Navigator was a
leadership training program designed
for teens between the ages of 13 and 15-
years-old.
“Clearwater, which meets off of
Mount Carmel Church Road, is an out
door camp that has activities like canoe
ing, archery, swimming and fishing,”
she said. “The sports camps teach the
fundamentals of sports like basketball,
soccer, volleyball and lacrosse.”
Fourth-grader Abbey Waller said she
attended several sessions at Camp
Clearwater every year.
“Fve done it for three years and I’m
already signed up for this summer,” she
said. “I especially like the last session
because there’s a big party.”
Fourth-grader Ben Isacs said he was
enrolled in his favorite camp, All-Star
sports.
“I think sports camp rules because
I’ve done it for three years, and I’ve got
ten to play, be active in sports and have
fun with the counselors.”
Chelsea Slegal, a fourth-grader at
Estes Elementary School, said she had
participated in Camp Clearwater in the
past, but enjoyed some aspects of it
more than others.
“I liked to do the bow and arrow
shooting,” she said. “I didn’t like swim
ming in the lake during camp
Clearwater because I only like to swim
in clear water.”
Grooms said Navigator was a service
learning camp whose participants trav
eled to the other programs to learn
youth leadership skills by working with
younger campers as well as older coun
selors.
All the programs meet in two-week
sessions, but a one-week session at the
end of the summer is offered for each
camp, Grooms said.
In addition to the main programs, for
the third consecutive year the Hubert
Davis Basketball Camp has been
offered to 60 boys, ages 10 to 17.
Davis, a former UNC basketball star
who plays in the NBA for the Dallas
Mavericks, coordinates the 3-day
camp.
University & City
However, the plan was put on hold at
Tuesday night’s Carrboro Board of
Aldermen meeting due to its high cost
and subsequent tax and student fee
increases.
A one-year trial for free bus fare
would cost the town of Carrboro
$62,109, raising residents’ tax rates by
more than 77 cents.
Some members of the Board, such as
Mark Dorosin, also were concerned the
fare-free system would sacrifice bus
quality for thriftiness.
Dorosin said, “If we’re going to spend
any more money, we should work on
service and extended hours rather than
getting rid of the fares and keeping (the
service) as it is now.”
Davis said the Christ-focused pro
gram was his way of giving back to the
community.
“The two most important things in
my life are Christ and basketball,” he
said. “I’m trying to give kids both on
and off the court instruction. I’m in the
NBA for a reason, and it’s not just to
play basketball.”
Davis also said that although the pro
gram was designed for boys, he hoped
to have a girl’s camp by next year.
Parker Wiebe, a fifth-grader at
Seawell Elementary School, said he
attended the basketball camp last year
and planned to participate again.
“It’s fun because we get to play bas
ketball, and then he makes us pray,” he
said.
Ricky Wilson, a medical student at
UNC who has been a camp counselor
a r
the YMCA for sev
eral years, said he (l
was excited about
helping with the [
Hubert Davis
Basketball Camp.
“I’ve been
involved with it for
three years and I’m
definitely looking
forward to it,” he
said. “I think it’s

basketball, and then he makes

Basketball Camp
going to be really fun.”
Sonya Holley, programming and
marketing supervisor for Chapel Hill
Parks and Recreation, said the depart
ment was also offering a variety of activ
ities for area youth.
“We have 56 pages full of summer
programs,” she said.
Like the YMCA, Holley said the
most popular activities were directed
toward children ranging in age from 6
to 12 and included two general camps.
In addition to the programs the
department coordinates every year,
Holley said that for the first time this
summer, week-long sports camps would
be offered.
Holley said the camps would begin
in June and included volleyball, basket
ball, tennis, squash and flag football. A
cooking camp for kids between 10 and
13 (years old) and a more high-tech
community cuisine class for 13 to 18-
year-olds would also be available.
Holley said the department also had
plenty of activities to ensure that adults
remained as occupied as the area’s
youth.
“We have anew photo preservation
class, beginning jewelry making, pottery
programs, outdoor nature tree and
shrub identification and swing dance
classes,” she said.

Town Manager Robert Morgan, say
ing fare-free busing would not occur this
year, introduced such a proposal as
Dorosin suggested.
Morgan said his plan would extend
bus operating hours to 8:30 pm and pos
sibly lengthen the F bus route.
Additionally, Morgan’s proposal also
make the buses run year round, remov
ing the 17 weeks in which the bus does
not run.
“It is directed toward nonstudent
professionals who need the bus after
6:30 pm,” Morgan said.
The new extended hours proposal
will cost Carrboro taxpayers $3,586 less
than the free-fare proposal, although the
frequency of bus visits will remain the
Co-ed softball and volleyball adult
sports leagues are offered for residents
interested in an active summer.
Holley said Chapel Hill also had six
biking and walking trails, the most pop
ular of which include Battle Branch,
Bolin Creek and Cedar Falls.
Nate Davis, director of Hargrave
Recreation Center, said UNC students
often participated in the programs as
counselors, and that he was hiring for
summer positions.
Davis said the center had an outdoor
public pool which was used primarily
by young campers. The pool holds
open hours for anyone who wants to
swim at a small cost.
Davis said parents interested in
enrolling their children in camps should
do so as soon as possible because spaces
would probably fill up in the next two
... .... ......
weeks.
“In the summer
camps kids play
games, make
crafts, take swim
ming lessons, play
sports, participate
in dance and
drama activities
and go on field
trips to museums
and parks,” he
said.
A Youth in Action Teen Club which
plans recreation activities, educational
programs, dances and workshops with
different speakers also meets at the
community center.
For those interested in boating and
swimming, Jordan Lake State
Recreation area is only a 25 minute
drive from Chapel Hill.
Ranger Mark Smith said in addition
to boating and swimming, the recre
ation area also organized programs for
children.“We offer Catch a Sure Thing,
which is a free instructional fishing clin
ic that takes place every Saturday,” he
said.
“We also have an Aquatic Adventure
program, hiking and classes about the

Although the revision provides a con
sistent level of year-round service,
Alderman Diana McDuffee said she
considered the new proposal to be only
an update to the transit system’s status
quo.
“It’s improving (mass transit) to the
current level - not enough to increase
usership,” she said.
Despite the alternate proposal bene
fitting nonstudents, several Alderman
said they still wanted University students
to receive free-fare bus rides in the
future.
“The (extended-hours) proposal
focuses on increasing ridership when
students aren’t here,” McDuffee said.

“The proposal that came up does noth
ing for the students.”
Morgan said he wanted to encour
age more student representation in
revising the Carrboro and Chapel Hill
transit system, but that the summer was
not the best time.
“I think the students ought to be at
the table since that’s who’s most affected
(by the free-fare proposal),” he said.
McDuffee said she met the new pro
posal with reluctance, although conced
ed that little else could be done.
She said, “I’ll accept that this is the
best we can do this year.”
