PHH- — 1 s JHHKSI APRIL 12,2006 BOWLES INAUGURATED SEE PAGE 3 I YEAR IN REVIEW I When the ball dropped on 2007, it signaled the end to a year painted by events that threatened the community and redefined it. In March, an attack on the Pit made national news and rattled the notion of a campus immune from danger. In April, a decades-old Chapel Hill tradition came to a close as shots fired on Franklin Street spelled the end of Apple Chill. The year saw high schools in Chapel Hill and Hillsborough under siege by teenagers wielding guns. But tragic as those events were, they pushed discussion and forced many to reevaluate where the community stands. And new faces were a part of those talks. Orange County and Chapel Hill hired new managers after its stalwarts retired. Chancellor James Moeser’s cabinet also lost several key contributors including Provost Robert Shelton. Molly Broad made way for Erskine Bowles in the UNC-system president’s office. Through it all 2006 will be remembered for events etched in our minds both on the day they shocked us and the days spent rationalizing their progression.
