Gameday parking options open By TAMARA BEST The Red & Buck On gamedays, the University deals with an influx of people and the parking dilemma it causes. On campus, more than 20 parking lots usually des ignated for students need ed to be vacated to accom modate guests. “I am one of the lucky ones that does not have to move my car to another lot on a different part of cam pus, but most of my friends do,” said Kayla Hinson, a freshmen from Kennesaw. Parking services sent e-mails informing students of the game day parking restrictions, in addition to dt. ailed instructions and maps available online, according to their Web site announcements. Students who usually BOMB: Robot, suit enhance diffusion safety ► From Page 1 schools,” Williams said. On April 12, the squad successful ly imploded a pipe bomb a 15-year old student created and carried into Jackson County Comprehensive High School in Jefferson. The bomb response truck, equipped with the robot, bomb suits and containers to deal with hazard ous materials, is one of six trucks of its kind in Georgia. The Georgia Emergency Management Agency funded the equipment, worth more than $200,000. “The great thing about the robot is that we don’t have to be in the line of sight,” Tipton said. The robot, which can reach items nine feet high and six feet away, can board buses, fit through tight spaces, break windows, twist door handles and open packages. “And with the microphone and speaker, we can communicate with someone barricaded in a house,” said Sgt. David Page. The bomb squad is a unit of University police staff who work daily as police officers supervising patrol, training and crime prevention divi sions. Bomb technicians were trained at NBflF: Safety measures should relieve concerns ► From Page 1 threaten livestock and humans, he said. As for weapons, “It’s against the law to develop biological weapons,” Lee said. This facility will not be any more equipped to make weapons than a car plant is, he said. The facility has received nearly unanimous support from Georgia’s political and agricultural leaders, Lee said. “I think Athens could use a clean, knowledge based industry,” Lee said. Some audience mem bers voiced concern on the facility’s water use. Water from the facility would flow away from the Oconee River, which rims within a mile of the proposed site on South Milledge Avenue, Lee said. According to the Department of Homeland Security, the facility would use 60,000 to 100,000 gal Publix would like to thank Latarsha Johnson for participating in our 2007 Summer Internship Program at our Corporate Office.

In addition to the restricted areas, there are areas where parking is strictly prohibited accord ing to the Georgia Gameday Web site. To alleviate traffic between East Campus and the stadium, campus tran sit operates 25 buses to transport students and vis itors. Running five-and-a-half hours before kickoff and for two hours following the game, buses transport pas sengers from East Campus to the stadium.

They hold three 8-hour training days at the • University police station per month. The K-9 handlers attended K-9 lons of water per day. While that is a lot of water, Athens delivers 16 million gallons of water per day, Lee said. Another concern was that the 250 to 350 perma nent jobs the facility would bring would add as many cars to the traffic on South Milledge Avenue. “Another 250 is not a huge leap,” he said. The University-owned livestock that reside on South Milledge were anoth er point of concern. “My concern is what will happen to the animals there,” Kari Turner, an assistant professor of ani mal science, said. There is a plan under way to move the animals, Lee said. Several members of the audience asked about potential worst case sce narios, like if germs from inside the facility infected an animal on the outside.

For those unable to obtain parking on campus, downtown offers a few options: on-street parking meters and off-lot parking. “People forget that the parking meters have a set time limit, so we end up issuing a lot of parking Handler Certification School in Texas or North Carolina and work with their dogs eight hours per week. “This bomb suit weighs 80 pounds,” said Tipton, as Page and Sgt.

The facility will be equipped with airtight rooms, waste treatment and destruction systems, and constant safety moni toring among other things, he said. In the unlikely event that a disease escaped the facility, the chances of it becoming a local pandemic remain improbable, he said. Most of the diseases sci entists will study are not transmitted from person to person, Lee said. “We believe [the facility] can be built in a way that is respectful to the environ ment,” he said. Athens is one of five finalists for the National Bio- and Agro-Defense Facility along with sites in Texas, Kansas, North Carolina and Mississippi. An initial environmental impact study will be draft ed by spring 2008, and the final site will be chosen in the fall of 2008.

To help ease congestion after games, campus and local law enforcement agencies are on hand to direct fans. Flyers were left on cars after the game last week end containing instructions on how to reach Georgia 10 Loop. In addition to direct ing cars to the loop, the entrance to East Campus was blocked off for two hours after the game to allow visitors to leave. Information pertaining to parking and traffic will be available for all game days on radio station 1650 AM. The Department of Homeland Security will host a public scoping meet ing on Sept. 20 in the Georgia Center for Continuing Education from 6 to 10 p.m. Community members, including students, can participate by e-mailing the Department of Homeland Security ques tions and concerns at nbafprogrammanager@ dhs.gov.
