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.

"It's hard to predict when construc
tion will take place," he said. "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.

about the immediate development of

"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.'"

baseball fields going in the park, no

the community."
Soccer is extremely popular in the
Chapel Hill area, he said. The town is
not recognizing the need for more and

new Habitat house
By Laura-Leigh Gardner
Staff Writer
The Orange County chapter of
Habitat for Humanity has begun work
on its 1 6th house with the help of local
churches and the University's student
chapter.
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.

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.
