VIGILS
FROM PAGE 1
Families, students, retirees and
professionals were present at both
vigils.
Esther Flashner, of Chapel Hill,
said the vigil was impressive.
“This feeling against the war is
everywhere,” she said.
Others came primarily to sup
port the fallen American troops.
Virginia Faust, a Carrboro resi
dent, participated in the Chapel
Hill ceremony.
She said she has one son who
was discharged from the military
and another who will complete a
second tour in Iraq.
“My one son said, ‘l’ll never take

ernment jurisdictions: the county,
the University and the towns of
Chapel Hill and Carrboro.
All have to weigh the impor
tance of preservation with the call
for development.
“Any type of development in a
watershed changes the existing
ground cover and vegetation,” said
Noah Ranells, Carrboro’s environ
mental planner.
The creek has been a periodic
focus in Carrboro for years, he said.
Incumbent Jacquelyn Gist
recalled her contributions to
watchdog ordinances that keep
developers aware of runoff dur
ing each step of the building
process.
The aldermen have asked the
University to preserve as much
open space on Carolina North as

anything for granted again,’” she
said. “While it’s a good lesson to
leam, it doesn’t mean it has to be
learned this way.”
She said her son who recently
was discharged from the military
attended the vigil in Durham.
Shapiro said she was pleased
with the number of participants
in the event, especially consider
ing the quick grassroots move
ment that propelled the national
event forward.
“We are a part of a pro-peace
majority in the country, and the
tide is turning,” she said.
The number of troops killed in
Iraq is growing to proportions that
concern the entire country, she
said. “The number 2,000 is such
possible.
More recently, the aldermen
approved a draft map for conser
vation areas around the creek.
The town modified its first draft
map with the help of the Friends of
Bolin Creek, a group that organizes
hands-on creek protection.
Alderman candidate Randee
Haven-O’Donnell, a longtime
member of the group, said the
group’s map offers a positive dis
cussion tool for the town.
Ranells said the organization
helps Carrboro by serving as stew
ards for the watershed. “A lot of
times they’re the eyes and ears for
what’s going on,” he said.
With Bolin Creek running
near the Carolina North site and
Morgan Creek also part of
the area watershed just south
of campus, students should pay
attention, Haven-O’Donnell said.

a powerful milestone.”
Other participants also said the
rallies are significant because they
were organized so swiftly after the
2,000 th death.
“It’s a big round number,” said
Caroline Usher, an administrator
at Duke University.
She said she also attended the
commemoration of the first 1,000
American deaths in Iraq.
“I want people to stop for a
moment and think of the 2,000,”
Usher said.

have mentioned is increasing the
no-development buffer around
Bolin Creek.
The buffer around much of the
creek is about 50 feet —a space
“no further that the distance from
my trash can to my back yard,”
said Catherine DeVine, a board
candidate.
She and others have suggested
upping the buffer zone consistently
around the creek.
As Bolin Creek flows out of
Carrboro, Ranells said the town
wants its water to leave as clean as
possible.
“We’re trying to put in place
best-management practices in our
watersheds, both Bolin Creek and
Morgan Creek, to try to improve
the water quality that’s leaving the
town’s jurisdiction.”

REPORT
FROM PAGE 1
food and vending services director at
UNC. “He had my full support in the
things he wanted to.”
Unaware of Dearmin’s intentions,
the Center for Healthy Student
Behaviors brought plans of fresh
produce to fruition as part of its
Healthy Campus 2010 campaign.
Once the the fresh market was
announced, members of Dearmin’s
administration jumped on board to
help promote the event, which will
be held from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m today
at Rams Head Plaza.
“They’ve been fantastic,” said
Jen Ketterly, nutrition and fitness
coordinator at the center. “They are
doing a great job with helping us
get the word out. We’re so happy
to have their involvement.”
Dearmin’s platform also men
tions the revitalization of Student
Congress, but no progress update is
provided in the October Report.
“A lot of that is a work in prog
ress,” Dearmin said. “It wasn’t a
platform point that was able to be
worked on during the summer.”
He said the groups are looking
toward sharing space in the Pit and
holding forums to provide students
with information about what the
groups are working on.
“The more we can do together,
the more effective we can be as a
student government as a whole,”
Dearmin said.
His platform also promoted
the idea of wireless Internet on
Franklin Street, but little is men
tioned in the October Report.
Bob Avery, Chapel Hill director
of information technology, said the
town council wireless committee is
looking into wireless possibilities
for downtown and has had some
interaction with students.
“There’s not a formal group set
up between the two,” Avery said.
“There’s not any official dialogue.”
Colin Hicks, co-chairman of stu
dent government’s technology and
web services committee, said that
the initiative requires cooperation
between the University and town
and that wireless will remain in
limbo until the committee submits
a recommendation.
“We can’t do anything without
some movement within the town

Tuesday.
In their decision members cited
a clause of the Student Code that
allows the board to overturn an
election if they believe that viola
tions corrupted the results, Brewer
said.
He said the board’s decision is
not to suggest that corruption did
occur but rather that corruption
might have existed.
The board’s most recent deci
sion means that no race from the
Oct. 18 special election survived
unscathed.
Widespread technical diffi
culties during voting in the off
campus district, District 6, and
the illegal inclusion of a seat
in District 3, which represents
South Campus, led the elections
board to nullify results from both
districts.
The Student Supreme Court
demanded Sunday that District
2 elections be released pending
financial statement certification
because the board said the results
were certifiable.

committees,” Hicks said. “It’s a
complex issue. Once there’s a plan
in motion, there’s quite a bit of
infrastructure work that needs to
happen.”
Much of his platform has been
delegated to various committees,
Dearmin said. But none of the com
mittee members were in town dur
ing the summer, slowing progress.
“We’re a month in with a full
group,” Dearmin said. “We’ve got
a long way to go, but we’ve got a
lot of time to get there.”

RALLY
FROM PAGE 1
In the 2003 municipal elections,
329 votes were cast by people aged
18 to 22.
“2003 was a message,” Raymond
said. “Students need to turn out this
time to send a different message.”
Raymond, like Insko, stressed
the convenience of voting early.
“There’s no excuse for not sending
the message,” he said. “It’s so easy.”
Thorpe said he views the student
body as a potential hotbed for politi
cal involvement.
“It’s a big sleeping giant,” he
said. “Students could really make
a difference.”
Raymond said the low voter turn
out at UNC represents a myth of stu
dent apathy that local politicians are
willing to fight and disprove.
The purpose of Wednesday’s
rally was to give local politicians
an opportunity to talk to students,
Insko said, adding that current issues
such as health care require the active
involvement of young people.
“It’s this generation’s responsibili
ty to protect future generations,” she
said. “You can do this by voting.”
