8 MONDAY, APRIL 14, 2003 Counties fight over location of new hospital BY MICHI NAIR STAFF WRITER As legislators fine-tune the reform plan that will update the status of mental health facilities in North Carolina, Orange County officials and mental health profes sionals are pushing for a new' psy chiatric hospital to come closer to the area. The state plans to close two out dated facilities John Umstead Hospital in Butner, where UNC Hospitals holds programs, and Dorothea Dix Hospital in Raleigh, w'here Duke Psychiatry Department conducts programs. The state will replace them with a new 1 facility in Butner. But new proposals from law makers in Chatham, Orange and Wake counties are pushing for a more centrally located site in Raleigh or Siler City. “Our first priority is accessibili ty for patients,” said Rep. Joe Hackney, D-Orange. Placing the hospital in Raleigh or Siler City' would more efficient ly serve patients in the Piedmont area, representatives from Orange County argue. No matter where the hospital is finally located, lawmakers and health professionals agree on one thing: the need to update facili ties. Umstead Hospital has long out grown its facilities, which were built in the 1940s to house prison ers of W'ar. Moving the hospital closer to UNC and Duke, however, also could ease collaboration between university physicians and ■ ATTENTION |B Allergies/Asthma Do you have Spring Allergies and Mild to Moderate Asthma?

Although Maynard supports the site's move away from Butner, he and hospital authorities wonder whether enough staff will follow the hospital to anew location. Cutting the number of hospitals from two to just one will inevitably cut jobs. “People may take off due to uncertainty,” Maynard said. The uncertainty might lead to the hospitals losing team mem bers. “In a time of flux, the most qual ified people are the first to get new jobs,” he said. Local officials also remain wary of the consolidation of two hospi tals. “Services have to be provided for people who aren’t staying in the hospital,” Maynard said. Barry Jacobs, member of the Orange County Board of Commissioners, echoed his con cern. The total number of beds will be decreased by the consolidation. Jacobs said this will follow the general trend in mental health care of increasing emphasis on com munity outpatient services.

These boats, each creatively named by their crew, were just a few of more than 30 entries in UNC’s first Carolina Cardboard Boat Race, sponsored by the UNC Sport Clubs Council. Although cardboard boat races are new to UNC, Angela Marfisi, intern for UNC-CH Sport Clubs and co-coordinator of the race, said the event originated in the 1970s with a professor at Southern Illinois University. “Last year we did a 5K run to raise money, and this year we want something new,” Marfisi said. To qualify, boats must be made solely of cardboard and duct tape and be designed for a two-person crew. They may not exceed 10 feet in length, and both crew members must remain in the boat for the duration of the race. Each two-person team was placed into one of three divisions open student, faculty' and com munity members, and sport clubs —and then raced in separate heats of four or five boats. ‘Salome’ production pushes dramatic envelope BY GABRIELLE DEROSA STAFF WRITER Theater has become more diverse and global, allowing direc tors to experiment with various cultures.

Members of the Sport Clubs Council said they hoped the card board boat race would provide exposure for UNC’s sport clubs. “It’s the kind of thing that can bring sport clubs together and give everyone a sense of community,” said Rachel Nyden, UNC junior and race co-coordinator. Bayley Crane and Michele Carpenter, UNC roommates and racers, said they signed up for the event because they wanted to help out the sport clubs. Although they began with a pirate theme, Crane said she and Carpenter decided their design wasn’t original enough. “While we were building the boat it started to look like a cow,” she said. “So we decided to name it Moo.” The sophomores then spent three full nights building their boat for its water debut. “We basically just decided that even if the boat wouldn’t float at all, we at least wanted to win the award for being most creative,” Carpenter said. And their plan paid oft'when the pair received their prize for having the most original design. aries of Western theater to intro duce the Chapel Hill community to a multicultural interpretation of the famous Biblical tale.

Marfisi said all of the money “Salome,” which was originally written in French, Hammond chose UNC alumnus Matt DiCintio to re-translate the piece —and Beverley as the director. “The new translation simplifies the language from the original,” she said. This presentation has switched the focus from verbose dialogue to action and movement. “When I cast the production, I was careful to select dancers and performers who really use their bodies when they act,” Beverley said. Dance played an important role in her casting. She chose actors such as Duane Cyrus, who has per formed with Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater.
