‘Swift, silent’ owl not a hoot in Apex
FROM STAFF AND WIRE REPORTS
Apex businessman Byron Unger sports a black eye and scratches on his face
after a late-night attack as he left his store, WRAL reported.
But he said his attacker was not a person. It was an owl.
. “It’s hard to believe. I understand that," Unger said. “Who’s going to
believe you’ve been whacked by a bird?"
Luckily for him, he has surveillance video to prove it. The video shows a large gray
owl swooping down and striking Unger in the back of the head. He said it felt like
getting hit by a baseball bat.
The bird also went after Unger’s associate Chris Cox. Both men describe the assail
ant as “swift, silent and strong" and said it appears without warning.
NOTED. A concert-goer is seeking $50,000
from the Blue Man Group after the actors alleg
edly used an ‘esophagus cam' to project an
image of James Srodon s mouth and throat onto
a large screen for the audience's amusement.
The lawsuit says the Blue Man actors held his
arms and “forced his head back' to insert the cam
era. It also says that the cam was covered with
“food, liquid and grime." including blue paint

Expert tips: roommate woes
From the roommate who walked around in her underwear
to the one who loudly crunched on food while you tried to
sleep, there’s just no getting around the fact that living with
someone else isn’t always easy.
But that doesn’t mean that you and your roommate can’t
peacefully share your living quarters.
Here are a few tips on how to deal with roommate conflict
from Gay Perez, associate director for Housing and Residential
Education.
■ Speak up. Tell your room
mate exactly what is bouiering
you. TYy to solve the conflict
yourselves before having a resi
dent adviser intervene.
■ Be tactful. Consider your
roommate’s feelings when try
ing to resolve the conflict It’s
important that you attack the
problem, not the person.
■ Be open to negotiation.
Having to share a small space
with someone can be difficult
but be willing to compromise.

Hill police reports.
A 1985 white Ford Escort val
ued at $1,500 was reported stolen
from 1010 Raleigh Road at 6 p.m.
Friday, according to reports.
■ Police are investigating three
incidents where residents' garage
doors were broken by unknown
intruders, according to Chapel
Hill police reports. All of the resi
dences are within three miles of
one another.
An incident of vandalism and
willful damage to property was
reported at 8:43 a.m. Friday at
105 Miliingport Court. The garage
window was broken, but there was
no evidence the suspect tried to
enter the garage, reports state.
Damage of S2O to security light
bulbs and damage to the window,
valued at SSO, was reported.
A separate incident of vandal
ism and willful damage to property
was reported at 9:20 a.m. Friday
at 433 Nottingham Drive. Damage
to the garage window is valued at
SSO, reports state.
A third incident of breaking and
entering a residence by force was
reported at 9:17 p.m. Friday at 101
Tweed Place, according to reports.
An unknown intruder broke the
window to the garage, causing an
estimated SSO in damage, reports
state.
Changing just one habit can
help alleviate the problem.
■ Remember the contract
Although it’s not a require
ment, filling out the contract
will help you and your room
mate create rules and establish
boundaries so that you all can
avoid potential problems.
■ Be creative. Think of topic
sentences or conversation
starters when talking to your
roommate about more personal
matters, such as hygeine.
