Farnsworth, develop the television and was among the first people whose images were transmitted on TV, has died. She was 98. Her death Thursday was confirmed by Mary Rippley, assistant director of nursing at Avalon Care Center in Bountiful, where Farnsworth lived.

Elma Farnsworth, who married the young inventor in 1926, worked by her side in his laboratories and fought for decades to assure his place in history after his 1971 death. Other inventors had demonstrated various developments in the 1920s, including mechanical transmission of images, but it was Philo work that led to the electronic TV we know today. His first TV transmission was on Sept. 7, 1927, in his San Francisco lab, when the 21-year-old inventor sent the image of a horizontal line to a receiver in the next room. He said inspiration for his invention had come seven years earlier, while plowing a field on his farm.

He realized an image could be scanned onto a picture tube the same way: row by row. According to the book T. Farnsworth: The Father of by Donald G. Godfrey, the first human images transmitted by Farnsworth were of his wife and her brother, Cliff Gardner. A image of his wife with her eyes closed was transmitted Oct.

19, 1929, Godfrey wrote. The book lists her as woman on But credit for the invention nearly escaped Philo Farnsworth after RCA claimed the innovation was the work of its chief television engineer, Vladimir Zworykin. In 1935, the courts ruled on Philo patent, naming him undisputed father. The decision was upheld on appeal, though Farnsworth continued to get little recognition. woman on Elma Farnsworth, 98 ADE AWLINS STAFF WRITER The Council of State approved $326,078 to cover legal bills in the ongoing air pollution lawsuit against the Tennessee Valley Authority.

Mike Easley told council members at the meeting Tuesday. The Council of State is composed of elected department heads, such as the lieutenant governor, state auditor and secretary of state. The counciladvises the governor on matters affecting the state.

In January, Attorney General Roy Cooper sued the TVA in fed- eral court, claiming that people in North Carolina suffered ill health from the pollutants that waft downwind from the federal 11 coal-fired power plants in Alabama, Kentucky and Tennessee. In addition, North environment and economy are harmed by emissions, Cooper alleged, adding that the pollution creates haze, soot and foul creeks, and leads to acid rain. TVA has asked the court to dismiss the lawsuit. The utility contends that it is working to reduce pollution, spending billions of dollars with plans to spend billions more installing pollution controls. believe that TVA and all its coal-fired power plants ought to agree to the same pollution controls our power plants agreed Cooper told the council.

The state has retained two Washington, D.C., law firms Resolution Law Group and Ayres Law Group with expertise in air pollution litigation to help prepare the lawsuit. The latest expenditure brings spending on the case so far to $484,336. appears to be rather Berry said. there a cap on the amount that can be utilized for this kind of Cooper said there was not a cap but that the cost of illnesses associated with air pollution, environmental damage and loss of tourism as a result of smoggy mountain vistas was much greater. would be a significant Cooper said.

These amounts would pale in The state hopes to force TVA to install additional pollution control that would reduce emissions of sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides and mercury. It wants TVA to cut emissions to a level required by North Carolina plants under the Clean Smokestacks Act by 2013. The state is not seeking monetary damages. Meetings are being scheduled between state leaders and TVA officials to discuss a possible settlement.

Cooper said he had discussed with the office the prospect of seeking money from the legislature to cover the ongoing litigation costs, rather than continuing to bring legal bills to the council. The projected amount to press the case is $2million for two years. Cooper said the state would seek to recover attorneys fees if the state prevailed.

Roy Oswald Bodden 21, of 907 Birch Ave. in Durham, was shot in the chest and a bullet grazed his head about 9 p.m. April 23, during the unofficial street party that traditionally followed Apple Chill. He is charged with the 2004 shooting death of Nathan Ladell Alston in Durham, which police think was gang-related, said Durham police spokeswoman Kammie Michael.

Both Bodden and another After Chill gunshot victim, Dennis Wilshire, 19, of Wake Forest are suspected 9-Trey Blood gang members, said Chapel Hill Police Officer Mitch McKinney. Both Bodden and Wilshire say they are not gang members, McKinney said. Police release the identities until Tuesday, citing concerns for the safety. Bodden was wearing a black and red shirt with a five-point crown with red dots on it colors and symbols associated with the Bloods, McKinney said. As Bodden was loaded into an ambulance after getting shot, McKinney saw him flash gang signs, he said.

Suspected members of the 8-Trey Crips were seen near the shooting, McKinney said. A third man, Hassan William Breeden, 20, of Durham also was shot in the right thigh that night but refused treatment, according to a police report. Breedenalso was out on bail at the time, awaiting charges that he shot and tried to kill two men at a Durham court records show. About 30,000 people attended the Franklin Street fair and its after party, and 235 police officers were assigned to the event in response to concerns of escalating violence, including an increased gang presence. Despite the three shootings, Chapel Hill police consider Apple Chill a successful night because nobody died and more people could have been hurt, McKinney said.

ESSICA OCHA STAFF WRITER CHAPEL HILL A judge found a UNC-Chapel Hill student not guilty of selling alcohol out of an underground bar because a law enforcement officer failed to read her her rights. Officers busted the unlicensed bar at St. Anthony Hall, a co-ed literary fraternity house on Pittsboro Street, last September.

They charged two students with selling alcohol without a permit and more than a dozen other people with underage drinking. On Tuesday, Owen Fitzgerald, the bartender, pleaded guilty in Orange County District Court to selling alcohol without a permit as well as marijuana possession. He will be sentenced in July. District Court Judge Charles Anderson found Sally Enloe, St.Anthony’s president, not guilty because an officer failed to read Enloe her rights before citing her. Although Alcohol Law Enforcement Agent Michael Penland never arrested Enloe, he threatened to if she cooperate, said her attorney, Tom Maher.

Because of that, Enloe was not acting of her own free will when answering ques- tionsthat incriminated her, Ma- hersaid. The night of the raid, Enloe was at the fraternity, showed officers her identification, and, because she was 21, was allowed to leave without being cited, said Barry Winston, other attorney. Later, Penland asked others who the president was, and they identified Enloe, Penland testified. Somebody called Enloe, and Penland told her to return or risk arrest. She walked back to the fraternity and told Penland that she was the president after he asked, Penland testified.

That was when Enloe was cited for selling alcohol without a permit because of her role as the president. But Enloe told the agent that she was the president only after being threatened with arrest. The threat was the of being under and she should have been told she had the right to remain silent, her attorneys argued. Anderson, the judge, agreed. Because the agent had only self-identification for the charges, he found her not guilty.
