©lj t Mg ©or Hwl Leaders to kick back, watch championship BY MICHAEL TODD STAFF WRITER Despite the formality typically associated with the Chapel Hill Town Council, a few of the area’s elected representatives are some of UNC basketball’s biggest fans. And though council members gather at Town Hall most Monday nights to plan town affairs, mem bers will be far from the chambers tonight. Council members decided to hold their regularly scheduled meeting Tuesday in part to watch UNC play in the national championship game in men’s bas ketball, and in part to let others do the same. “The meeting wasn’t moved just so members could watch,” coun cil member Mark Kleinschmidt said. “I mean, who would show up to voice their opinions on the night of a National Championship?” That’s not to say that some council members weren’t relieved themselves. “The most constant thing in my life, outside of my family, is UNC basketball,” said council mem ber Cam Hill, who proposed the rescheduling a few months ago. It is a Town Council tradition to schedule meetings around the NCAA tournament. “This has happened ever since I’ve been working in town govern ment,” said Mayor Kevin Foy. Kleinschmidt said he heard that in the past, the council would not meet on basketball game nights. Several issues related to North Carolina men’s basketball have surfaced during council meetings in the past. Carrboro Alderman Mark Chilton, who was a council mem ber as a UNC student during the early 19905, proposed a number of resolutions concerning the men’s basketball team. In 1993, when UNC last won the national title, he proposed a line item in the budget to cover the costs of cleanup after the festivities on Franklin Street. The extra revenue allows the town to hire police officers from, four other counties and pays public works employees overtime. Town officials have appropri ated $200,000 for this year’s cleanup. Chilton’s devotion to North Carolina basketball also led him to introduce some less practical ideas. “I was bet by a friend that if we won the title in 1993,1 would propose a sarcastic resolution to congratulate Duke on their 10th visit to the national tournament,” he said. He said the proposal failed Duke University Medical Center The Genetics of Environmental Asthma gf Healthy non-smokers (age 18-40), with mild asthma or allergies.

I mean, who would show up?” MARK KLEINSCHMIDT, COUNCIL MEMBER to pass because several council members at the time were Duke fans. Chilton also opposed resolu tions in 1991 and 1992 in which the council congratulated the Duke men’s basketball team for its back-to-back national cham pionship wins. Ed Harrison is now the only Duke alumnus on the council, but he said he will be rooting for UNC tonight. “I hope the Tar Heels pull it off,” he said. But Chilton expressed skepti cism at Harrison’s allegiance. “Ed and his ‘Dukeness’ —some people just have no taste,” he said. Town attorney Ralph Karpinos, who was a classmate of Harrison’s, said keeping his Duke spirit to a minimum while fulfilling his duties as a town employee is a must. “I try to keep it low-key around here, but I will be pulling for the Tar Heels,” he said. Many town officials will use their time off tonight to support the team at home and down town.

For the past two championship wins, Hill said, he was watching at home. Foy has similar plans and said he will avoid the chaos that is likely to ensue on Franklin Street. Hill said he attended the post victory rallies on Franklin Street after both the 1982 and 1993 championship wins and will view the festivities again this year if UNC pulls through. Other officials plan on being at local bars throughout the game. Chilton said he plans to view the game at Tyler’s in Carrboro with friends. But he added that he will definitely be on the 100 block afterward if the team wins. Kleinschmidt said that he was unsure exactly where he will watch the event but that he would likely be at a bar on Franklin Street. “I will definitely be downtown.” Contact the City Editor at citydesk@unc.edu. 22 Very, in music 25 Skillful 26 Zeno of 27 Semitic deity 28 High: pref. 29 of Cleves 32 Composer of "Carmina Burana" 33 Slick liquid 35 Cosby/Culp TV series 36 Aberdeen man 37 Bind with rope 38 Rapier's relative 40 Out-of-sight fences 1 2 3 4 7 Id \9-mr\o 111 12 113 _ ||||_ - |||| —®|||jp 1 - ■rr * 20 21 22 “ 26 ■■■■■■j 30 —K! 32 33 —-taßhr 35 36 37 38 39 4C^ 42 hJHH*43 “ I ■■4s” 46|~18j8847“ 4^ 50 MMsa 54 ” HHHHHBH 5b ' 56 57 58 5S 60 61 ”"■"■■63 ~ HBos' m ■ ' Grand Opening of Ellis Family Dentistry!

The town held its Really, Really Free Market on Saturday at the Town Commons and the third Carrboro CD and Record Show in the Century Center on Sunday. “Carrboro is so hip,” said artist Deborah Dorland, who attended the free market. The market had just one rule: no selling or bartering, only giving and taking. Saturday’s thunderstorms drove the market under picnic shelters, but “shoppers” continued to arrive throughout the afternoon to share everything from sunflower sprouts to used textbooks. “It’s very Carrboro: It’s more alternative, there’s more politi cal awareness,” said Aedn Van Noppen, a senior at the N.C. School of Science and Math in Durham. The first Really, Really Free Market was held in November 2003 in Miami to protest U.S. trade agree ments with other Western nations. Saturday’s event was a chance for the community to gather and to share both goods and ideas. Van Noppen drove from Durham to offer pieces of homemade vegan banana bread. “I wanted to support efforts against unjust trade,” she said. Marketgoers were also happy to see the community come together. “The best thing about a free event (CJ2005 Tribune Media Servioes, Inc.

One of the goals of the event was to get people to think differently about consumption, Vinci Daro, who helped organize the market, wrote in an e-mail. A group of activists hiked from Raleigh to contribute pamphlets about causes such as “Food Not Bombs” and the “Freegan” move ment: people who live directly off of the waste of others. “When we’re fighting globalism, we need to create more localism,” Dorland said.

Twenty-five vendors set up tables of new and vintage records, CDs and memorabilia from every genre of music for fellow collectors to examine. Joanna Johnson of Chapel Hill came to browse for ’6os and ’7os soul records to add to her collection. “I like album artwork and the sound of albums,” she said. But fellow browser Tony Maygarden said collectors buy records for more than just music. “If they only wanted the music, they’d buy CDs instead,” he said. “Records are cultural icons. They represent an era.” Carrboro residents seem happy to gather for any type of event. “Any time Carrboro does some thing, I know I’m going to have a great time,” Dorland said.
