10 WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 31, 2005 New police substation christened BY SPENCER GIPPLE STAFF WRITER Local police are expanding their services in the community, and get ting a little more elbow room in the process. Several Chapel Hill residents joined members of the Chapel Hill Police Department on Tbesday for the grand opening of a police sub station at Southern Village. Chapel Hill Police Chief Gregg Jarvies opened the ceremony by addressing the crowd. “This is going to be such a ben efit to those who live in and around the Southern Village area,” he said, noting that the station will be used by the police department’s commu nity services unit. Chapel Hill Mayor Kevin Foy was also on hand to say a few words. “One of the great pleasures of being the mayor of Chapel Hill is the extraordinary police depart ment and the pride we have in the A fff' t At Ernst & Young we know each employee is integral to the strength of the firm. Every individual matters. That's why we've created an environment that's conducive to personal and professional growth and success. At Ernst & Young, we're offering an opportunity to learn from some of the best talent in the industry. Look for us on campus if you'd like to connect, or visit us on the Web at ey.com/us/careers. FORTUNE* 100 BEST COMPANIES^ TO WORK FORS Quality In Everything We Do police department,” he said. “I’m really happy that people in this part of town are going to have an opportunity to get to know police officers from Chapel Hill personally.” Speakers at the ceremony also honored John Fugo and D.R. Bryan, the men who worked with Montgomery Development to cre ate and provide funding for the new substation. “Having a police department here is something we’ve always dreamed about, really,” Bryan said. Kevin Gunter, sergeant with the community services division, said creating the new office is a good way for the department to expand its reach. He added that the depart ment already has an office for the community services divi sion at University Mall, and that another office for the division will make working conditions less cramped. “We thought a location to the south of town would be a nice addi tion to that,” he said. He said that three officers will work at the new station regularly during business hours and that they will be available to help with any concerns in the community. Gunter said the community ser vices division coordinates services such as neighborhood-watch pro pams and handling identity theft issues as well as generally being available. “It’s really any kind of commu nity outreach that we help with,” he said. Jarvies also emphasized the department’s extended involve ment in the community. “This gives us a presence here in the southern part of the southern part of heaven.” Contact the City Editor at citydesk@unc.edu.

Slljp la% (Ear Mrrt I'M KIND OF A BIG DEAL Sporting lessons from a wise man A wise man once said these words in a television com mercial, ones I know I will carry with me forever: “I don’t look at myself as a basketball coach I look at myself as a leader who happens to coach bas ketball.” Whoops! Sorry, wrong wise man. What I actually meant to write was the famed Charles Kuralt line, “What is it that binds us to this place as to no other? It is not the well or the bell or the stone walls, or the crisp October nights or the memory of dogwoods blooming.” You’ve seen the ad after all, it runs only about 17 times during every North Carolina game on TV. And it’s surely convinced at least a few kids to check out UNC during the college application process, probably even a few of this year’s freshmen. Kuralt never mentions sports in that quote, though. And per haps that’s fitting for those in this year’s freshman class, con sidering they begin their career as Heels on the heels of several of the most interesting years in the long, distinguished history of UNC athletics. Luckily you Tar Heel fans didn’t have to endure what’s come to be known simply as “8- 20” unless you failed a semester or you’re a graduate student or super senior. But four-year seniors can look back fondly on the day they ran through South Campus in the April twilight, heading toward the road outside the Smith Center in hopes of catching a glimpse of the car car rying Dean Smith, Dick Baddour and, of course, Roy Williams home from the Horace Williams •] airport this time for good. And returning students will always remember last season’s ;T Miami football game when time seemingly crawled to a stop as the Connor Barth kick carried... ; and carried... and carried, staying] aloft juuust long enough to sneak inside the left upright in the east end zone of Kenan Stadium and give the boys in blue what had been an unthinkable upset. Plus everyone got to tear down > goalposts. Also, if I’m not mistaken, there was some sort of basket- ]’ ball game or something last ’ April, too. So if figuring out the easi- . est bars for using fake IDs and the best times to eat at Lenoir •; (answer: never) aren’t daunting > enough tasks for this year’s fresh men, making sense of the much- \ changed landscape of UNC sports might be. That’s why I’ve taken this opportunity to provide sort of] a mini-primer for the upcoming ] year: Clemson never comes to Chapel Hill and beats North \ Carolina in men’s basketball. Never. Julius Hodge has a bet- < ter chance of winning an eating •] contest than this does of happen- ■’ ing. (OK, so some things never *! change.) The Tar Heel women’s soccer team missed the Final Four for > the first time ever last year. Expect ] • Anson Dorrance’s squad to out- ] score opponents by some ridicu- 1 lous margin (think 120-7) and go undefeated in 2005 en route to a ’ 19th national title. If Miami wins the coin flip j and elects to receive against f, North Carolina this season, * Devin Hester might squash any j hope of back-to-back upsets ;j before the game’s first play scrimmage. J Ivory Latta’s crossover is quicker than Maurice Clarett’s * NFL career. If you’re going to stalk a basketball player, at least go to •“ Sutton’s Drug Store. Doing it on J TheFacebook.com is so weak. 5 And my final tip is a word of ;J wisdom that everyone over at •> Schoolkids Records might want • to remember. No amount of opti mism can change the fact that *J “Quentin Thomas has a posse” '* just doesn’t quite have the same ]* ring to it. t Contact Derek Howies at howlesd@email.unc.edu.
