Dirty work at Hanes won’t mess with art
Construction only creates an eyesore
BY NICK PARKER
ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT EDITOR
The fences, machinery and
muddy mess outside of the Hanes
Art Gallery might not obstruct the
building physically, but the juxta
position of steel shafts and student
sculptures creates a shocking eye
sore.
But that will probably be the
extent of the damage done.
Construction workers are laying
pipe in a large hole outside of the
gallery.
The heat and steam pipes will
run from an existing line in the
Hanes parking lot to the new
Institute for Arts and Humanities,
located at the recently built Hyde
Hall.
“We are still early in the year, so
it is impossible to tell yet if the con
struction is going to negatively
affect us,” said Mary Sheriff, pro
fessor of art. “Right now it is just
ugly.
“Everyday when we walk out
side we have to stare at a big gap
ing hole.”
Raleigh man gets West Nile
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
RALEIGH Charles Williams
is a forester accustomed to dress
ing to protect himself from the
heat and mosquitos.
Long-sleeved shirts, heavy
pants, work boots and two kinds of
insecticides are his standard work
apparel.
But he wasn’t so prepared as he
unpacked his car after returning
from vacation.
Williams, 53, a consulting
forester, believes that was when he
was bitten by a mosquito that
infected him with West Nile virus,
North Carolina’s third human case
of the mosquito-borne illness this
season.
“I just wasn’t prepared for that
first hour back from vacation,”
Williams said in a phone interview
Wednesday. “I just wasn’t think
ing."
His symptoms began Aug. 6
with extreme muscle ache and
then included nausea, vomiting,

Charles Marshall, construction
manager, said that the project is
slated to finish Dec. 1. The project
is not extremely complicated or
intense, Marshall said, so it should
finish on schedule.
Beyond the dirt and bulldozers,
the pipe laying has not affected the
physical appearance of Hanes.
All of the outdoor artwork that
was in place still is present, though
not as readily visible.
Students and faculty members
who park in the Hanes lot likely
will be the most inconvenienced.
Marshall said that the work is
planned to progress in short phas
es, so that at any given time the
smallest possible amount of spaces
will be closed off.
“We are basically going to creep
across the parking lot and try to
stay out of the way,” Marshall said.
“This project really shouldn’t pose
a problem to anyone ... I would be
surprised if it did.”

rash, fever and headache “sort of
like having the flu but maybe 10
times worse,” he said.
His health now?
“Not too good, not too bad,” he
said. His doctor said Williams’
recovery period should last two to
three weeks. There is no treatment
for the virus.
One central N.C. man died from
West Nile virus earlier this year.
The other victim had a less seri
ous form of the disease, called West
Nile fever, and has recovered.
State health officials also identi
fied one human case of Eastern
equine encephalomyelitis in a
Scotland County child who
remains hospitalized in critical
condition.
EEE is a rare viral disease trans
mitted by some kinds of mosqui
toes.
It attacks the central nervous
system, causes inflammation of the
brain and can be fatal to animals
and humans.

Freshman Erin France lies on the sidewalk Tuesday morning while students make their way around the con
struction in front of Hanes Art Center. Workers are laying steam and heat pipes from Hanes to Hyde Hall.
Wild birds serve as natural
hosts for the virus. Mosquitoes
bite the birds and then can trans
mit the virus to humans and ani
mals.
West Nile virus is spread the
same way as EEE. There has been
only one human case of EEE in
North Carolina this year.
Williams visited his doctor Aug.
12 and was admitted to the hospi
tal Aug. 18 with inflammation of
the brain, its lining and the spinal
cord. He got the verifying test
results back Aug. 20.
He’s recovering at his home in
Raleigh after being released from
the hospital for one week.
He said he will make a few
changes in his lifestyle, including
wearing insecticide every time he
goes outside.
“Whether I wear shorts and san
dals any more, I don’t know,” he
said.
“I’m hoping cold weather gets
here fast."
