By Jim Morrill THE CHARLOTTE OBSERVER After a costly petition drive to put him on the ballot as an independent alternative to Democratic U.S. Rep. Larry Kissell, Concord resident Wendell Fant said Friday that not sure run. now a definite not Fant said. The group N.C.

Families First delivered more than 35,000 signatures to election boards throughout the 8th Congressional District sup- porting candidacy. The group, backed by the State Employees Association of North Carolina and the Service Employees Interna- tional Union, paid people to circulate the petitions across the state. It failed to get enough signa- tures to get on the statewide ballot but appears to have enough in the 8th District. The group opposes Kissell because of his votes against some major Democratic legis- lation, particularly the health care i Fami i Fi rs spokesman Chuck Stone said a a i into the pockets of in- surance Two days ago, Kissell filed an ethics complaint against Fant who, until last month, was his deputy district direc- tor. Kissell told a House ethics committee that Fant broke House rules by using his offi- cial title and government com- puter to work on his own Vet- erans Affairs case.

He also said Fant failed to report out- side employment as a repre- sentative and recruiter for a mortgage marketing com- pany. Fant acknowledges having in by using the House computer for per- sonal business. But he said hurt by the complaint and questions the timing of it. really just trying to swallow that pill right he said. had not had a con- versation with the congress- man.

There were certainly no questions asked of me about Fant, 42, is a 23-year veter- an of the Marine Reserves who was twice activated for duty in Iraq. He said take the weekend to make a deci- sion. Because the petitions car- ried his name, if he decides not to run, the effort to get on the ballot is moot. Kissell rival Fant might not run Petitions sought his name on ballot STAFF REPORTS KENLY Johnston County Sheriff officials said Friday that they are looking for three people in connection with the killing of an 80-year-old man found dead in his home near Kenly. Investigators issued a bulle- tin describing three people in two vehicles who had been seen at the home of James E.

Cooper near the time of his death, according to sher- iff spokeswoman Tammy Amaon. Cooper lived at 111 Crump- ler Road just outside Kenly. A a Wednesday concluded that he died of a blow to the head. Authorities are looking for a burgundy S-10 pick-up truck with a light blue fender on the side that was driven by a white female with light- color hair, Amaon said. Authorities are also seeking a small red passenger vehicle with no hubcaps occupied by a white man with long hair in a ponytail and a white woman- with light color hair, Amaon said.

Police released no other dis- tinguishing characteristics of the three people. body was discov- ered Tuesday night by his son, Tommy Williams, who had gone to the home to help his father pay his bills. The neighbors told sister that they last saw Cooper on Monday morn- ing. Investigators have not disclosed a possible motive for the killing and will not say whether anything was taken from home. In December 2009, Coo- per reported a breaking and entering to sheriff deputies.

Some people close to him have said that his home was broken into more recently, but Cooper had not filed any additional reports, Amaon said. Anyone with informa- tion in the case is asked to call the Johnston County i i a 989-5000. Authorities hunt three in Kenly death By Anne Blythe STAFF WRITER RALEIGH A federal judge delayed the trial date for Tri- angle-based terror suspects by nearly a year to give law- yers more time to review the computer evidence, more than 750 hours of recordings and 30,000 pages of docu- ments associated with the case. Louise W. Flanagan, a fed- eral District Court judge overseeing the case, moved the trial date Friday to Sept.

19, 2011, nearly a year later than a previous schedule. Daniel Patrick Boyd, his sons Dylan Boyd and Zakari- ya Boyd and four other men Hysen Sherifi, Mo- hammad Omar Aly Hassan, Ziyad Yaghi, and Anes Subas- ic were charged nearly a year ago with conspiring to provide support to terrorists and conspiring to murder, kidnap, maim and injure peo- ple abroad. An eighth suspect, Jude Kenan Mohammad, 20, is be- lieved to be in Pakistan. In her order Friday, Flana- gan also said that although the government did not plan to interview potential wit- nesses overseas, defense law- yers had not ruled out the po- tential need for travel abroad. long has been evident that this complex multi-de- fendant case requires expen- ditures of more time and re- sources than is Flan- agan said in the order.

Hassan and Subasic are op- posed to the delay, but their lawyers and lawyers for the other suspects were not op- posed to an extension of the period for pre-trial prepara- tion. terrorism prosecu- tion has revealed itself as so unusual and Flana- gan said in her order, that it unreasonable to expect adequate preparation for pre- trial proceedings or for the trial in the time that federal courts typically allow to comply with the federal speedy trial act. anne.blythe@newsobserver.com or 919-836-4948 Triangle terror trial delayed By Thomasi McDonald STAFF WRITER FUQUAY-VARINA Two men were arrested and a metham- phetamine lab dismantled in Fuquay-Varina this week. Charles Scott Jones, 28, and Ezra Paul Weiss, 29, both of 116-A Pine have been charged with one felony count each of possession of precur- sor chemicals with the intent to manufacture methamphet- a i i a manufacture methamphet- amine, and attempting to manufacture methamphet- amine, Fuquay-Varina police Capt. Bob Adams said Friday.

Jones has been charged also with one felony count of main- taining a dwelling for a con- trolled substance, Adams re- ported. The two men became the fo- cus of an investigation in Janu- ary when Jones, after his ar- rest by Wake County deputies, admitted that he was delivering Drano tablets to someone to help with the production of methamphet- amine, according to a search warrant filed Friday at the Wake County Clerk of Courts Office. Fuquay-Varina police set up surveillance at home, where they observed visitor patterns to the home that they thought were consistent with drug dealing and drug traffic, according to the court affida- vit. Among those patterns were visits to the Pine Street resi- dence by more than a dozen people who have been arrest- ed by police in the past for nu- merous drug violations. The investigators also em- ployed the services of confi- dential informants who made controlled buys of crack co- caine, heroin, marijuana and even prescription medica- tions, Fuquay-Varina detec- tive Jeffrey S.

Wenhart stated in the search warrant applica- tion. On Monday, a confidential informant told police that methamphetamine was being manufactured at the resi- dence, Wenhart stated. Fuquay-Varina police offi- cers and State Bureau of In- vestigation agents went into the home just before 3 p.m. Wednesday, court records show. They seized items that they think are used to create meth- amphetamine, including two pounds of drain opener, sulfu- ric acid, coffee filters, a can of camp fuel, a propane fuel can, burnt pieces of aluminum, a gas nozzle, an instant cold pack and two notebooks that contained what police de- scribed as drug ledger infor- mation, court records show.

Police transported Jones and Weiss to the Wake County jail. They both remained in cus- tody Friday afternoon. Bail for Jones was set at $100,000, and at $75,000 for Weiss, a jail spokesman said. thomasi.mcdonald@ newsobserver.com or 919-829-4533 Meth lab abolished; two suspects held FROM STAFF REPORTS CHAPEL HILL The UNC Board of Governors has decid- ed not to make any changes in its leadership for the next two years as it grapples with bud- get cuts and a national search for a new president to replace Erskine Bowles.
