2The Daily Tar HeelTuesday, March 5, 1991 Z3 .Residents continue to criticise cemmmrity Bark woBOsal c By Cheryl A. Herndon Staff Writer The proposed Southern Community Park is still in need of funds, and the plan continues to draw criticism from some members of the community and nearby residents. Chapel Hill Parks and Recreation Director Mike Loveman said he didn't anticipate receiving funds for the pro posed park for several years. The park, proposed in February 1989, would be located on a78-acre site south of Chapel Hill on the corner of U.S. 15 501 and Dogwood Acres Drive. Loveman said he was unsure of when construction of the park facilities would begin. The town could pass additional bond funds, or the Chapel Hill Town Council could approve using some of the funds from the 1 989 parks and open space bond to support the project.

"I think the funding issue is driving the con struction." The town has the authority to borrow $3.5 million from the 1989 bond, but the money may not be used for park construction without the council's ap proval, he said. "That money was initially designated for purchase of land only, but it could be used for construction of facilities," Loveman said. The present plan for Southern Com munity Park consists of four building stages to be completed over 20 years. Two soccer fields, three softball hardball fields, and support facilities such as restrooms and parking should be built in the project's initial stage, Loveman said.

The U.S. military reciprocated Monday's prisoner release by an nouncing that 300 Iraqi prisoners held by the allies would be freed Tuesday or Wednesday. At least six Americans remain as prisoners, and 35 are still listed as missing in action. The allies say they hold more than 63,000 Iraqi POWs. Many of the Iraqis deserted from their front lines during the air campaign.

"We're going to be without soccer fields for an indefinite period of time," he said. "The soccer fields, and what ever else was scheduled to go into that park, have now been put on the back burner." The town risks losing the $35,000 federal grant that is specifically allo cated for the development of soccer fields, he said. "If they don't start building by the end of this calender year, they're going to lose (the money)," he said. "The federal agency is saying,'if you can't use it, there's lots of other people around the country that can.'" The town owns 14 baseball fields, but no soccer fields, he said.

If we use five or reports emerged from southern Iraq about the anti-government rioting that exploded there over the weekend. Witnesses said violent protests oc curred in at least eight cities, stretching from Iraq's second-largest city, Basra, northward to the holy city of Karbala, 50 miles south of Baghdad, and in some RAs the flier would be distributed to the entire housing staff. "This was really a first step," he said. "We wanted the chance to address new RAs. Where we take it from here, we'll be discussing." The authors also want an open fo D . JJMii-Klii mm. ratio and think that they never intended, until I approached them, to build any soccer fields," he said. "There were five baseball fields going in the park, no soccer fields, which says to me how much they know of what's going on in the community." Soccer is extremely popular in the Chapel Hill area, he said. The town is not recognizing the need for more and better facilities. "(Soccer players and supporters) are our taxpayers too, just the same way softball and baseball players are, an I they have 14 basebaH fields," he said. "There are more tennis courts than are able to be used, and there are basketball courts all over the place, but there are zero soccer fields." O'Donnell distributed petitions to area sporting good stores requesting that soccer fields be built. He will take copies of the petitions to the town more of your pictures, you will receive a free edition. So start shooting!

Some residents of Dogwood Acres, especially those who live on Dogwood Acres Drive, said they were concerned that the park would bring traffic into their neighborhood.

TheUnitedMethodistUNCStudent Partnership house will be located east of Hillsborough off U.S. Highway 70. A ground-breaking ceremony was held Feb. 23 at Orange United Meth odist Church. Construction is tenta tively scheduled to begin March 23, but will probably start April 6, said John Krall, a spokesman for the United ; Methodist Church Partnership. Established in 1984, Habitat for Humanity of Orange County, Inc., (HHOC) is part of a national Christian housing ministry that builds homes for people who could not otherwise afford a house, said HHOC spokesman Cort Boylan. Habitat builds homes when it raises funds on its own or when a partnership raises the money for the group, Boylan said. Habitat's latest project results from a partnership of six area Methodist churches and the UNC student chapter of Habitat. The partnership is building a home for the Lunsfords, a family of ; five children being raised by their grandmother. The United MethodistUNC Part nership house marks the first time area mi 929-1 5 reg. TTrnifhte SM and pets that sometimes play in tfr streets." ;: Frances Wellman, who also lives 6rT Dogwood Acres Drive, said she was concerned about the increased traffic that would result from the realignment of her street, which would wind through the park. "Dogwood Acres Drive is a small; almost country road," she said. "I don't know what they can do about it, but'I know there will be a great deal of traffic. Our one little road will be terrible. It will be so trafficky." students Methodist churches have worked to gether on a Habitat house, said Bill; MtUer, the project's coordinator. Krall said volunteers from the; United MethodistUNC Student Partnership and members of the. Lunsford family would work on the house together. "Habitat is not as much a charity as it is a partnership," Krall said. Families , help with construction and pay tor the " house when they move in. Boylan said the houses were' completely paid for when the families moved in. Families pay an interest- " free mortgage to Habitat, which in turn uses the money to build other ', houses. Habitat tries to build the homes around different families' needs,' Boylan said. "Each home tends to be unique," he said. The group recently built two homes joined by a common wall for a" woman who had 10 foster children, he said. The woman owned one house v and rented the other. When the chil-; dren grow up, Habitat will stop rent ing the second house and sell it to another family, he said. Miller said working on Habitat houses was rewarding. Because groups work on houses from start to, finish, volunteers see the positive, impact they have on society, he said.' People interested in working on the house should call Miller at 929-3868. 3 E.
