Find out Police reports state that Garrett attempted to steal $920 in S2O bills. But before Garrett could escape, a second unidentified employee jumped on him and a struggle ensued in which a third employee recovered the gun. When police arrived, Garrett was outside the store, on the ground in the parking lot and surrounded by about four to five Wendy’s employees. The gun was still inside. Chapel Hill police spokeswoman Jane Cousins discouraged others from taking such actions if faced with a simi lar situation. “We had positive results this time, but this isn’t something we would encourage victims in that situation to do,” Cousins said. “There’s a great amount of risk in doing something like that." Garrett was charged with one felony count of armed robbery and was taken to Orange County Jail in lieu of a $20,000 secured bond. His court date was set for Sept. 5 in Orange County District Court in Chapel Hill. Results of the proceedings were unknown at press time.

For the Record In the Aug. 29 article "Students Skeptical of Tar Heel Parking Services,” the accompanying photo was not of Tar Heel Parking owner Gus Mueller’s property. The address on Tar Heel Parking fliers indicated the lot was located at 1119 U.S. 15-501 South. The photo in ques tion was of a dumpster with this address on it. However, Mueller contends the dump ster was moved from his lot by others who owned property adjacent to his and that the photo, in fact, depicted their land. A subsequent trip to the property by DTH reporters confirmed the actual location of his parking lot. In the Aug. 30 brief "Former Union Director Howard D. Henry Dies,” The Daily Tar Heel incorrectly reported that Henry was from Viroqua, Wis., and began his career at UNC in 1956. Henry was born in Wisconsin but lived in Chapel Hill for 42 years and began his career at UNC in 1958. The brief also failed to mention that he will be survived by his wife, Bee. The Daily Tar Heel regrets the errors. aijr Sailii Uar Urrl Wednesday, September 6,2000 Volume 108, Issue 67 RO.

The decision by the U.S. Forest Service and Gov. Marc Racicot affects 20 million acres in areas hit hardest by this summer’s wildfires, said Pat Graham, director of the state Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks. “I am pleased that with the presence of additional firefighting capabilities, cooler weather, some precipitation and enhanced moisture,” Racicot said. “We are able to suspend the execu tive orders previously issued concerning land closure.” Sty? iatlg Qlar HM sary.

Nationwide, 81 large fires were still burning on 1.55 million acres Tuesday in Arkansas, California, Idaho, Mississippi, Montana, Nevada, South Dakota, Texas and Wyoming, according to the National Interagency Fire Center in Boise, Idaho. To date, 74,755 fires have burned nearly 6.6 million acres across the nation, the center said. Monday’s announcements of the Montana land opening came as the huge fires in the Bitterroot Valley were on the wane, blunted by cool, rainy weather.
