THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Incumbent mayors in several North Carolina cities beat back challenges in lo cal elections Tuesday. Leading the pack of seasoned mayoral candidates were Raleigh ’ s Tom Fetzer and Durham’s Sylvia Kerckhoff. Fetzer easily won re-election, beating back a challenge from city councilwoman Mary Watson Nooe. Unofficial election results showed Re publican Fetzer with 25,330 votes, com pared to 16,657 for Nooe, a Democrat. “In local politics, people getting involved is really the determining factor,” Fetzer said. In Durham, incumbent mayor Kerckhoff led former mayor Harry Rodenhizer Jr. by a big margin in nonpar tisan primary voting. Kerckhoff had 9,910 votes, compared to 3,823 for Rodenhizer. The two will face off in next month’s general election in a rematch of their race two years ago. Voter turnout in Durham was a rela tively low 15.4 percent of the city’s 92,349 registered voters.

Kerckhoff said the results show support for her leadership. “It’s not support of me so much as my style of leadership, which reaches down to the grassroots involving people in the po litical world, and bringing antagonists to the table to work out solutions rather than confrontational polarizing,” she said. Rodenhizer said he represented voters dissatisfied with Kerckhoffs leadership. He also said she is a weak leader who doesn’t make decisions quickly. “This city has been under the control of the liberal element,” Rodenhizer said. “My reason for being in the election is to try to change that.” In Greensboro, challenger Tom Phillips led the mayoral primary field with 6,793 votes, or 51 percent. Allen was second with 6,203 votes, or 46 percent. Wilmington mayor Don Betz led chal lenger J.D. Causey by a wide margin. Unofficial results showed Betz with 6,077 votes, compared to 3,449 for Cau sey. In Asheville, Mayor Russ Martin will square off against Vice Mayor Chris Peterson next month. Martin and Peterson led Tuesday’s primary voting, in which challengerH.K. Edgerton was eliminated. Martin garnered 5,537 votes, and Peterson was a distant second with 2,094 votes. “It’s up to us to make sure we get keep working hard between now and No vember,” Martin said. “I’ve been a runner for 28 years, and one thing I’ve learned by running is that the B-GLAD Sponsors National Coming Out Day Activities BYJOSH AHN STAFF WRITER Today is National Coming Out Day; a day where the bisexual, gay and lesbian communities have a chance to speak about their sexuality. The event is sponsored by the National Human Rights Campaign Fund Founda tion, and is also supported by the National Coming Out Project, which provides fund ing for events across the nation. UNC will have activities in the Pit from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. today. The events are sponsored by Bisexuals, Gay Men, Lesbians and Allies for Diver sity, which is a part of the Human Rights Campaign fund of Washington, D.C. B-GLAD will be handing out rainbow stickers, said B-GLAD co-chairman Dale Kawamura. She said the stickers are to be worn by people who support people choosing to “come out.” This will provide a means of knowing how the person one is coming out to will react. “B-GLAD encourages members of the campus community to come to the Pit Wednesday and get information on B GLAD,” Kawamura said. “People need to come out to themselves first, and then maybe their friends and families.” Joe Herzenberg, former member of the Chapel Hill Town Council, commented <2% latly ®ar Hml winners run through the tape, to the end, at full speed.” Peterson, a restaurateur, said his Sep tember guilty plea to driving while im paired had hurt him. Only 20 percent of the city’s registered voters voted, said Buncombe County elec tions board Supervisor Trena Parker said. Precinct workers said voting was light all day, even though the election was the first non-partisan city election Asheville has had in six decades. In Boone, Mayor Velma Burnly easily won a fourth term, beating challenger Myra Mayse in nonpartisan voting. Burnley had 793 votes, compared to 449 for Mayse, according to unofficial re sults. In the Harnett County town of Dunn, Abe Elmore won a battle of former mayors to take the top job. Elmore, a furniture store owner, de feated Ralph Barefoot, who ousted Elmore from the mayor’s job 12 years ago. The two were vying to replace Oscar Harris, who chose not run. In unofficial returns, Elmore had 1,274 votes to 918 votes for Barefoot. In Elizabethtown, the seat of Bladen County, city councilman Kenneth Komegay and Mayor Wallace Leinwand will face each other in a runoff. Unofficial results showed Komegay with 413 votes, while Leinwand had 381. Roxboro voters reelected Mayor Lois Mclver Winstead, and Henderson Mayor Robert G. “Chick” Young Jr. won his ninth consecutive two-year term on National Coming Out Day. “For gay people there’snothingmoreimportantthan coming out,” he said. “I mean, what’s the point of staying in the closet if you’re gay? “It’s important to be honest with the people you associate with,” Herzenberg said. “When more and more people who are not gay know people who are gay, it’s much better; Once you know people, it’s easier to be supportive of them.” Herzenberg said that small, personal “coming outs” were more important than large-scale demonstrations or protests. The activities held in the Pit include an open microphone, where people will have a chance to share a testimony or stories, or to just “come out". The day Will also feature speakers, such as M.K. Cullen, director of the N.C. Pride Political Action Committee, and Doug Ferguson, a local human rights advocate, as well as dramatic readings from gay, lesbian and bisexual literature, and a pre sentation of Comedy Central’s “Out There inHollywood,” which will show a series of bisexual, gay and lesbian stand-up come dians. National Coming Out Day is held an nually to commemorate the March on Washington in 1987 for gay and lesbian rights, as well as the implementation of the Names Project, which is better known as the AIDS quilt. The campaign also helps provide information on AIDS and the HIV virus.
