Harry Evans said, "We're very
excited. We're looking forward to a
very excited community. The total
support of the community in North
Carolina continues to amaze us."
Board of directors members said
Evans was well qualified to be the
resident manager.
Strunk said, "She has been very
active as a volunteer previously. She
has a real good understanding of the
mission of the Ronald McDonald
House."
Board of directors member Roland
Connelly said, "We had well over 100
applications. It was a long decision,
but we feel she's going to do a great
job."
The resident manager position
involves a great deal of responsibility,
Connelly said.

The charges are misdemeanors.
Three of the counts are punishable
by a fine of up to $1,000 and one
year in jail; two by a fine of up to
$500 and 90 days in jail; and the last
by up to tw o years in jail.
"The charges are laughable," Kivett
said in a telephone interview Wed

had any raccoons.

ago when several artists recognized
that owning their own store would
allow them to display the works they
preferred in ways they chose.

"It's a full-time job," he said. "They
will have relief help, but their primary
function is the operation of the
house."
The position also includes oversee
ing the house's staff of volunteers,
Connelly said.
Strunk said Chapel Hill's house
will be North Carolina's fourth
Ronald McDonald House.
The house provides a home away
from home for the parents of children
who are receiving medical treatment
in Chapel Hill, Strunk said.
Shirley Evans said, "They can stay
in a comfortable home and see that
there are other parents going through
it. The magic word is support."
The large number of pediatric
patients in Chapel Hill will enable the
house to serve a large number of

know how I was supposed to walk
up to them and bash them on the

The Orange County Animal Shel

October, said Pat Sanford, executive
director of the shelter.
Sanford said she would not com
ment further on the charges because
she was afraid publicity would make
it more difficult to convict Kivett.

would not be affected by a conviction
This "total freedom" idea encour
ages each artist to be more creative
and experimental, Strauss said.
Artist Robin Brice said, "Almost
everybody has some smaller items,
which are affordable for students."
Items in the gallery range in price
from $ 1 to $500, but most works are
priced between $15 and $35.
Strauss said since students are a
large part of their business, the group
has encouraged artists to create
smaller gift items.

"There were so many pediatric

"This is something that can certainly
serve these folks."
Connelly said the McDonald's
food chain donated $200,000 to help
build the house. The Ray Kroc
Foundation, established by the
founder of McDonald's, also donated
$50,000 to the house.
In addition to the starting funds,
money for the house has come chiefly
from private donations, he said.
Strunk said, "It'll take a concerted
effort to keep getting the donations
to keep the house functioning. We
want to heighten awareness.

assistant dean of the law school.
No one at the N.C. Board of Law
Examiners could be reached for
comment on how conviction on the
charges might affect Kivett's eligibil

to practice as an attorney.
Kivett was arraigned before Chapel
Hill magistrate Newell Cogdell and
released on $300 unsecured bond.
Trial has been set for March 31, and
Kivett has hired Chapel Hill attorney
Syd Alexander to represent him.

work is high enough for the artist to
be admitted into the group.
Strauss said acceptable works must
be of the highest quality and must
be original in approach, so the gallery
can maintain a diverse collection.

demonstrations by artists in the
coming months, and many of the
individual artists will show their
works at local craft fairs such as
Apple Chill, Strauss said.
