pens omideir new 'owner
jut ' bar's fyfare still on certain
By CRAIG ALLEN
and LISA ANTONUCCI
Staff Writers
Despite rumors of its demise, Troll's
Bar lives.
After a two-week hiatus that included
the filing of a civil suit against the
corporation that owns the bar and the
corporation's subsequent breakup,
Troll's Bar opened last Friday night to
a crowd of patrons.
Troll's Bar, a pub known for its
unpretentious decor and atmosphere, is
located at 157 E. Rosemary St. When it
was closed recently, rumors circulated
about town that the bar was closed and
would not reopen.
But despite problems in past weeks,
the bar is open for business. One of the
problems stemmed from a civil suit
filed against Troll's Inc. by the owners
of the building where the bar is located.
According to the Chapel Hill Clerk
of Court office, a suit for the eviction of
Troll's Inc., the corporation that owned
the bar, was filed by Paliouras Enter
prises. The suit charges that Troll's Inc.
failed to pay rent on the property, which
"No matter who ends up with
(Troll's), it's going to be much
the same bar."
Jim Paliouras, co-owner
of Paliouras Enterprises
violated the bar's lease. A hearing on
the matter is set for next Monday in the
Chapel Hill Small Claims Court.
According to Jim Paliouras of Pali
ouras Enterprises, the entire situation
was confusing for everyone involved.
Paliouras said the original lease to
Troll's Inc. was defaulted after rent
payments were not received.
A subsequent lease was granted to
Gary Hughes, a former member of
Troll's Inc., after he assumed owner
ship of the bar. Paliouras said that lease
defaulted because of late rent payments.
Paliouras said the possibility of a
third lease, to be granted to another
party, made the entire situation very
complicated.
Many questions are left unanswered
and the problem has not been resolved,
Paliouras said. He said next week's
hearing would clear up most of the
questions. Buthe assured faithful Troll's
customers the bar would remain in some
form in the meantime.
"It's a very complex situation," Pali
ouras said. "But, no matter who ends up
with it, it's going to be much the same
bar."
The suit is not the only problem that
complicated the bar's existence. Troll's
Inc., the corporation that once owned
the bar, has been dissolved, said Gary
Hughes, the bar's present owner.
According to Hughes, his former
partner sold his share of the business to
him, which made Hughes the sole
owner. Hughes later changed the name
to Fred's Bar. The name change stems
from legal reasons surrounding the
breakup of the partnership, Hughes said.
Although Hughes' former partner
has apparently been served with papers
detailing Paliouras Enterprises's suit
against Troll's Inc., Hughes said he had
not received any details and would not
comment further on the suit.
He would not specify the reasons
for the Troll's Inc. breakup except to
say there were personal differences
between he and his former partner.
Hughes said the bar would be oper
ating at regular business hours, though.
"We opened back up last Friday,"
Hughes said. "We are operating busi
ness as usual. The rent has been paid."

Byrroyglhs yiiweolls AZT syryp
By BECKY RIDDICK
Staff Writer
The Burroughs Wellcome Corpora
tion has now produced the AIDS drug
azidothymidine, or AZT, in a strawberry-flavored
syrup, said Kathy
Bartlett, a public relations officer with
Burroughs Wellcome.
The drug is used in the treatment of
AIDS patients and people infected with
human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
The new syrup was approved by the
Food and Drug Administration last
week. It is marketed as Retrovir Syrup,
which is the trade name for the drug.
The syrup will make dosage variations
easier and enable patients who have
trouble taking the capsulesHo take the
drug, Bartlett said. The syrup will be
priced at the same rate as the capsule
form now being produced;
Burroughs Wellcome, headquartered
in Research Triangle Park, now charges
$1.20 per capsule to the wholesaler

Inter-faith Council continues
renovation fund-raising effort
By VANESSA SHELTON
Staff Writer
In its first capital campaign, the
Inter-Faith Council for Social Serv
ices, Inc. (IFC) is overcoming oppo
sition to meet its goals.
The IFC Emergency Shelter,
located in the old municipal build
ing at the intersection of Rosemary
and Columbia streets, closed in April
for renovations and is scheduled to
reopen in April of 1990.
Renovations are being made to
bring the building into compliance
with local building standards. The
renovations and the addition of the
IFC Community Kitchen are ex
pected to cost about $892,000, said
James Souder, IFC president.
Opposition to the renovations is
coming from local business owners
who think the building should be put
to other uses. Only two percent of
the cost of the shelter's renovation
about $15,000 came from busi
ness contributions.
Last fall, the IPC and area busi
nesses disagreed on the shelter's loca
tion and renovations that would add the
Community Kitchen to the shelter site.
The Public-Private Partnership,
made up of a group of business leaders,
residents and town and University offi
cials, created a task force to find an
alternate shelter location. The task force
suggested that a new shelter be built on
Airport Road, but the IFC refused to
move the shelter because its members
said the location was essential to its
success. The Chapel Hill Town Coun
cil supported the IFC in its effort.
Spanky's owner Mickey Ewell said
the town could put the building, which
the IPC rents from the town, to use as a
library or teen center.
"I think it's absolutely ridiculous
that they've put that much money into
this. They should sell it and go to an
other site where it will cost one-half of
what it is costing now," he said.

"When they first told us that
renovations would cost $300,000,
we told them it would be at least
$500,000," Ewell said. "They'll
never get the Community Kitchen
and shelter under one roof for
$800,000."
The shelter, which could acco
modate 30 residents before it closed
for renovations, will be able to hold
approximately 50 when it reopens in
April, Souder said.
Renovations to the shelter in
clude removing asbestos, leveling
floors, installing an elevator, replac
ing the heating system, adding an air
conditioning system and building
more bathrooms.
Donations are solicited for the
IPC as a whole, but are distributed
to the shelter and other branches of
the IFC. According to Chris Mo
ran, a staff consultant and coordi
nator for the shelter, the IFC is
supported by the United Way,
churches, members and individu
als. "After the United Way campaign
is over, we send out letters to mem
bers a couple of times a year," Moran
said.
Methods used by local churches
to raise money vary. "In most, it is
usually a budgeted item, but it
depends on the structure of each
congregation," he said.
University United Methodist
Church has volunteered its building
and the services of some of its
members during the renovation of
the shelter. Because of the construc
tion, some of the shelter's residents
will live in temporary housing until
the renovations are completed.
Souder said the church is pro
viding shelter for women. The IPC
opened a temporary shelter for men
on the second floor of the IPC Com
munity Kitchen.
IPC's capital campaign, which
began in June 1988 and continued
until last June, generated $410,000
in contributions from businesses,
congregations and individuals. With
assistance from Orange County and
a series of federal grants, IPC re
ceived an additional $355,000.
Souder said the IPC hoped to
reciev the remaining $109,000
needed for renovation from the
Housing Finance Agency of North
Carolina. ; '
percent Sept. 18, Bartlett said.
Teresa Young, a pharmacist at Re vco
Discount Drug Center at Carr Mill Mall
in Carrboro, said the drug costs $1.34
per capsule at that store. The store sells
the drug in bottles of 100 capsules. The
average AIDS patient uses about 100
tablets every week, she said.
Before the Burroughs Wellcome
price reduction, the cost per tablet at
Revco was $1.67, she said.
North Carolina Memorial Hospital
(NCMH) charges $1.41 per tablet for
the drug plus a $4.04 dispensing fee for
macist who declined to give his name.
The hospital provides the drug to
many low-income patients, and a high
rate of prescriptions for AZT are never
paid for, he said.
John Badgett, NCMH outpatient
supervisor, said the hospital has not
seen a change in the number of patients
asking for AZT since the hospital low
ered the price it charges for the drug.
AZT is the only drug that has been
approved by the government for treat
ment of AIDS. Burroughs Wellcome
holds the U.S. patent for AZT and is the
only company authorized by the gov
ernment to dispense the drug.
The Burroughs Wellcome price
reduction came after public protest by
New York-based gay activist groups.
The price cuts were anticipated for
some time by industry analysts. Bur
roughs Wellcome had been accused of
making large profits on AZT, and
lowering the price was seen as a good
business move. Recent production
improvements are also said to have
lowered the price.
Committee to reform defunc
Carrboro Business Assn. """!
By VICTORIA DAVIS
Staff Writer
A group of Carrboro merchants have
formed a steering committee to re-form
the Carrboro Bussiness Association
(CBA).
Susan Hansell, a member of the
committee and co-owner of New Atti
tude in Carr Mill Mall, said the CBA
will help businesses "make an open
channel between the business commu
nity and the town government." The
CBA was disbanded in the mid-80's.
The committee will meet Oct. 16 to
plan the organization and work on a
statement of purpose. The meeting is
open to interested Carrboro business
owners. At least 20 business owners
have expressed interest so far in joining
the association.
Members of the committee believe it
is important that Carrboro business
representatives be able to go to the
mayor as a group to give an opinion.
The CB A's purpose will be different
from that of the Chapel Hill-Carrboro
Downtown Commission Corporation
because the association will include
merchants and employees from service
businesses like medical offices and auto
body shops, Hansell said. Also, the
CBA will not plan or sponsor activities.
Debbie Dibbert, co-director of the
Downtown Commission, said she was
delighted that the CBA was returning.
"We're thrilled," Dibbert said. "We
can't wait until they're fully opera
tional." Hansell and Aurora Restaurant owner
Hank Straus both said the CBA was an
addition to the Downtown Commis
sion and was not competing with it. The
Downtown Commission has shown its
interest and support by providing mail
ing lists and helping organize the
group's format.
"We are a grass-roots effort," Hansell
said. "We have no preset format."
Straus said Carrboro businesses have
needed a voice of their own. There
would have been less hard feelings
between Carrboro and Chapel Hill
businesses on the issue of providing
money for the new trolleys if Carrboro
businesses had a voice in the matter, he
said.
The trolleys were originally sched
uled to run in Chapel Hill and Carrboro,
but because the Carrboro Board of
Aldermen voted against providing
money for them, the trolleys run,only in
Chapel Hill.
Straus said the incident illustrates a
need for a group like the CBA. Hansell
and Straus agreed that Carrboro mer
chants and businesses were not polled
well enough for the Board of Aldermen
to know how the merchants felt about
funding the trolleys.
Dibbert said the trolley's routes
would be "renegotiated" in July of next
year. If Carrboro merchants want the
trolley to run into their town, they will
have to persuade the Board of Alder
men to fund the trolley.
"It takes funds," Dibbert said. "The
reason Chapel Hill go the trolleys is
because of funds from the University
and hospital (North Carolina Memorial
Hospital)."
Mass transportation grants to Chapel
Hill were the source of much of the
$300,000 used to purchase the trolley
buses, and the Downtown Commission
pays the maintenance costs of the Trolleys.
