Six schools in eastern Chatham opened late to keep vehicles off the road and protect students. “We were concerned with stu dents standing out in the dark," Chatham schools spokeswoman Beth McCullough said.

Chadian rebels resume attack on the capital; international aid authorized N'DJAMENA, CHAD (AP) Chadian rebels renewed their assault on the capital of this oil-rich central African country Monday, and tens of thousands of people fled as gunfire crack led and artillery shells exploded across the city. The third day of fighting in N’Djamena threatened to further destabilize an already violent swath of Africa that is home to hundreds of thousands of refu gees and borders Sudan's war ravaged Darfur region.

While no Peace Corps vol unteers have been targeted in the violence that has engulfed Kenya since the Dec. 27 elec tions, the Washington-based group has decided to pull out its remaining 58 volunteers, said spokeswoman Amanda Beck. Another 144 volunteers were sent home in January after the violence first erupted, she said. IRON & WINE FROM PAGE 1 their new album, The Shepherd's Dog.’ I liked it the more I listened to it it’s really incredible." Some students said Iron & Wine has the potential to draw a diverse crowd but might not be as big of an act as those in previous years. “I’d see Iron & Wine even if they weren’t playing here," junior Charlie McGeehan said. “I don’t think it’ll sell out to campus people because most things don’t sell out to stu dents. They have in the past, but I don’t think it’s happened recently." Some organizers, however, are confident students will be a large part of the concert’s audience. “We expect Iron & Wine to be really well recognized and have a large student following," Gurdian said. “We’ve been working on some thing like this for awhile. It's one I've wanted to bring on since at least I became president of CUAB." Contact the Arts Editor at artsdesk@unc.edu. an overnight retreat, the U.N.

Flight delays will continue to climb WASHINGTON, D.C. (AP) - A quarter of domestic flights foiled to arrive on time in 2007 the industry's second poorest perfor mance on record —and analysts say it is likely to get worse. More than 26 percent of com mercial flights in the U.S. arrived late or were canceled last year as rising passenger demand and an industry preference for smaller planes intensified congestion in the skies and on runways. The air-travel logjam comes as a growing number of air traffic controllers near retirement age —a trend the controllers' union says will magnify- the problem. News Rogers Road residents renew waste protests BY CATARINA SARAIVA ASSISTANT CITY EDITOR Members of the Rogers and Eubanks Roads community came out in full force at Tuesday night’s county commissioners meeting to raise colorful posters and demand that the board remove the neigh borhood from the list of possible new waste-transfer site locations. The board, which re-opened the search for a site in November after community allegations of environmental racism, heard com ments from four members of the Rogers-Eubanks Coalition to End Environmental Racism, which rep resents a predominantly low-income and black neighborhood bordering the Orange County Landfill. “This board of county commis sioners has a chance to redeem itself and set Orange County on anew and honorable path," said Yonni Chapman, a member of the Chapel Hill-Carrboro branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and CEER The board decided in March to seal the Orange County Landfill and place anew waste-transfer sta tion on top of the site something Chapman called “a grotesque per petuation of environmental racism." The Environmental Protection Agency notified the commission ers on Jan. 16 that they had been accused of violating civil rights. The Rev. Robert Campbell, co chairman of CEER, stated that in its 35-vear lifetime, the landfill has contaminated the community's water and air quality and brought swarms of “buzzards." “Forty-five miles an hour and garbage trucks are doing 65,’ Campbell said regarding what he called unsafe roadways. Resident Neloa Jones showed the board two maps drawn by UNC graduate student Chris Heaney, which show the concentration of Chapel Hill’s black population, the total parcel value of Chapel Hill land and the location of the Orange Water and Sewer Authority's sewer and water mains. ‘I think these maps go far to show some of the injustices and some of the impacts of the solid waste facility as well as some of the neglects," Jones said., “So many people think that the Sudoku • • By The Mepham Group © 2007 The Mepham Group Distributed by Tribune Media Services AM rights reserved “ mflpnm Complete the grid . so each row, column 6 4 q o and 3-by-3 box (in * j ™ I *3 bold borders) con -3q -j tains every digit Ito t | j O| !

That is not true." Heaney said much of the com munity still is forced to use well water, which has been contami nated by organic materials and metals, both of which exceed state quality standards, according to a 2005 report from the Orange County Regional Landfill North Facility. With the opening of Morris Grove Elementary slated for next fall, building a waste-transfer site on top of the current landfill w ould bring “buzzards" even to the play ground. Campbell said.

Written on behalf of the Rogers- Eubanks community, Campbell's complaint accused the commis sioners and eight other local and state organizations of discrimina tion in dealing with the landfill. The landfill was placed next to neighborhood in 1972 with an unofficial promise by then-Mayor Howard Lee that no other landfills would be constructed in the area. “Today I am withholding final judgment," Chapman said, noting the commissioners' decision to re open the search. “Take the Rogers and Eubanks neighborhoods off the table 35 years is enough."
