2 THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 2004 Cafe to fill spot vacated by Strong’s BY SARA LEWKOWICZ STAFF WRITER Residents who frequent Franklin Street soon will be treated to the opening of Jack Sprat Cafe, anew eatery boasting organic coffee, grilled paninis and more. The cafe, to open in December, will fill the space once inhabited by Strongs Coffee, which closed in late June. Steve Dorozenski, a native of Naples, Fla., is the owner of the cafe. He said it will have what he calls an “American bistro” motif. It will serve coffee from Counter Culture Coffee, a Durham-based company that grows organic beans and encourages a “holistic approach” to the industry, according to the company’s Web site. The cafe will also serve pastries and bagels in the mornings, as well as grilled paninis, bistro sal ads, tomato basil soup and grilled cheese sandwiches for lunch. Dorozenski and his wife, Lee, moved to Chapel Hill three months ago from Gatlinburg, Tenn., after DTH staffbring home two individual awards STAFF REPORT NASHVILLE Staff members of The Daily Tar Heel garnered two awards at the annual National College Media Convention last Saturday. The paper’s 2003-04 Editorial Board won third place in the Story of the Year competition for edito rial writing. The board’s editorial, “No run ning away” was published on April 1 and examined the controversy over the Cornelia Phillips Spencer Bell Award.

Dorozenski, who has also owned and operated a gift shop and designed dog toys, also has run two different restaurants. “Food is my passion. I just can’t seem to get the restaurant bug out of my system,” he said. While he remains excited about the opening, Dorozenski said Jack Sprat is not designed to be a replacement for Strong’s. “We’re definitely not trying to replicate or reproduce Strong’s Coffee. It was an institution in and ofitself,”hesaid. George Draper, who has owned the 161 E. Franklin St. property since 1978, said he is hopeful that this cafe will have more success than Strong’s. “There were a lot of students that hung out there but obviously didn’t patronize the business side of the location as much as it needed,” Draper said. “From a business stand priority over renaming the award because of Spencer’s views. Another individual Associated Collegiate Press award went to former Projects Team leader John Frank, who graduated last May. Frank won an honorable men tion in the Story of the Year cat egory of news story for a March 19 article that reported the largest fraud case at the University in 10 years. The story, which won first place for spot news in last year’s Hearst competition, reported an investigation into the misuse of $300,000 of University money by two employees of the Department of Radiology. point, the concept just didn’t fly.” Draper also said that although the timing of Jack Sprat’s opening could have been better, he thinks the restaurant could do well on Franklin Street. John Woodard, who owns Sutton’s Drug Store in the same building, echoed Draper’s sentiments. “We’re hoping (Jack Sprat) will bring more people down to see what we have to offer as well,” Woodard said. He said Strong’s was not able to stay in business because although it “looked full all the time,” the custom ers inside would stay for long periods of time and spend little money. Despite the fate of Strong’s Coffee, Dorozenski said he is look ing toward the future and thinks Jack Sprat will be a success. “We’re hoping to create our own little niche, and hoping that people will come for the food, the coffee, the ambiance.” Contact the City Editor at citydesk@unc.edu. Both awards were co-spon sored by the American Society of Newspaper Editors. The DTH also was one of 58 finalists for the Pacemaker award, commonly known as the Pulitzer Prize of college journalism. Finalists included four-year daily and non-daily and two-year college newspapers. The finalist award was given for the 2003-04 edition of the DTH, which was led by Editor Elyse Ashburn and Managing Editor Dan Thigpen. The contest was judged by The Tennessean, as it is tradition for the major paper in the convention’s host city to choose the winners. News Study: Cells might grow back BY STEPHANIE NOVAK STAFF WRITER Alcohol damage to the brain isn’t necessarily permanent. A pair of University researchers have discovered that organisms experience a burst in cell regen eration after a period of alcohol abstinence. The researchers proved the inhibiting effects alcohol has on regenerating brain cells or neu rons. But their study also pro duced new data, which illustrate the effects of abstaining from alcohol after becoming dependent upon it. Though alcohol dependency curbs neuron growth and inhibits cell survival, the study noted that after a week of abstinence, brain cell proliferation increased four fold. Fulton Crews, director of the Bowles Center for Alcohol Studies, and research associate Kim Nixon conducted the study during the course of more than a year and based their conclusions on experi ments with lab rats. “It’s the first time we’ve seen a neuronal rebound or rebirth of neurons,” Nixon said. “Before, we assumed recovery in the brain was because of glia the supporting cells of the brain or changes in connectivity.” Police arrest suspect in break-ins BY JAKE POTTER STAFF WRITER The Chapel Hill Police Department came one step closer Wednesday afternoon to complet ing its investigation of a recent rash of breaking and enterings around Cameron Avenue. Police arrested Anthony Jerome Dukes, 46, and charged him with three counts of breaking and enter ing and three counts of larceny, according to Lt. Pat Burns. Two of the counts stem from break-ins reported on McCauley and Vance streets, said Capt. Brian Curran. The McCauley Street break in was reported last Friday, and the incident on Vance Street was reported the next day, according to police reports. Capt. Bob Overton said police are investigating two other sus pects in connection with break-ins in the Cameron Avenue area, and that more arrests could follow. “We haven’t ruled out that there are more suspects than Mr. Dukes,” Curran said, adding that it is too —-toEiBAi PREW- HD)@fe _y November 12th The Daily Tar Heel jgffiis J |Kf Teecond&Xo I j '■?; m/; f\ /"I 30 seconds to If/ 111 j the mgf SWIMMINO POOL mmi Alcohol affects the hippocam pus, the region of the brain asso ciated with learning and memory. The study concluded that impairments caused by alcohol can be slightly reversed through recovery. But what causes the increase in proliferation is not yet clear, researchers said. The discovery has several impli cations, including the possibility of improved treatment for those suf fering from chronic alcoholism. The conclusions also could translate into improved treat ment for people who suffer from other psychiatric disorders such as depression and Parkinson’s dis ease, which is caused by the degen eration of neurons. “If the brain cells grow back and are an important part of the biological basis of recovering from addiction, then we can design therapies that improve brain cell growth and the success of recovery from addiction,” Crews said. More than 8 percent of the adult population is affected by chronic alcoholism, and such new treat ment could aid in their recovery. Neurogenesis, or brain cell growth, is a relatively new discov ery. Scientific theory has been based for many years on the “use ’em or early to tell if the charges are relat ed to other break-ins in the area. According to police reports, there have been more than 20 reported breaking and entering incidents since mid-October. “Asa general rule, when you have a lot of break-ins in a general area, there’s usually a small pool of people responsible,” said Curran. Curran said the majority of break-ins are occurring in rental properties. Laptops and other electronic devices have been the items most commonly stolen. He added that Cameron Avenue’s proximity to downtown might account for the concentra tion of break-ins in the area. “With Cameron Avenue, we have had a persistent trend of property crime,” he said. “I believe it’s because it’s in walking distance to the business district.” But Overton said an outbreak this large is not typical. “For it to be this pervasive, it’s pretty unusual in that vicinity,” he (% loily Oar Jfipl lose ’em” principle, which implies that once a brain cell is gone, it’s gone for good. Recent studies have shown that neurons do continue developing through adult life. And Nixon and Crews’ experiment is unique because it relates neurogenesis with alcohol abstinence. Cell growth also is associated with physical activities, such as running, as well as learning and pharmacological agents such as antidepressants, Nixon said. First-year graduate student Becky Klatzkin said neurons are constantly destroyed and that such discoveries could mark huge improvements. “If they can find a way to increase cell proliferation in adult humans that would be huge,” said Crews and Nixon have worked together for four years researching topics of this nature. But their work is not over yet because their experiment raises questions about the mechanism that regulates cell regeneration and the correlation between cell death and cell birth, Nixon said. “When you discover anew mechanism, it can open all sorts of opportunities for new treatment.” Contact the University Editor at udesk@unc.edu. said. “I don’t think it’s based on any time period. I think they’ve target ed this area.” Curran said the best way to pre vent break-ins is to take extra pre caution with locking up homes and belongings. “You need to think of it like your wallet,” he said. “What we’re concerned about are guys going in where nobody’s home. Thieves will generally take the path of least resistance.” Anyone with information on the incidents may call the department at 968-2760. Contact the City Editor at citydesk@unc.edu.
