Second debated big lovefest'
■ Bush and Gore discussed
military and foreign affairs in
a more congenial atmosphere.
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. - A1
Gore criticized Gov. George W.
Bush’s record in Texas in debate
Wednesday night, saying he
blocked hate crimes legislation
and presides over a state that
ranks last in health insurance for
families.
"We care about our people in
Texas," Bush shot back, and said
the state spends $4.7 billion a year
on the uninsured.
In a meeting that ranged
broadly over foreign policy and
domestic concerns, Bush took
Gore to task for misrepresenting
several facts in their first debate
last week in Boston, and that
prompted an unusual apology
from die vice president.
“I got some of the details
wrong,” said Gore, who has strug
gled for the past week with allega
tions that he constandy embell
ishes the facts. “I’m sorry about
that, and I’m going to try to do
better” in the future.
The two men met on a stage at
Wait Chapel at Wake Forest
University wuh less than four
weeks remaining in their close,
volatile race for the White House.
The atmosphere seemed more
congenial than when they debat
ed last week in Boston, and when
it ended, Bush mouthed the
words “good job” to his rival as
they shook hands.
The calendar calls for on
more pre-election debate, nex
Ttiesday in St. Louis.
It was a debate in two parts
the first half a polite conversatioi
about foreign policy, the seconi
half a more pointed series of dis
agreements over domestic issues
Gore and Bush both called oi
Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat ti
restrain the violence rockin
Israel. The vice president alsi
called on Syria to “release thre
Israeli soldiers that have beej
captured” by Hezbollah militi
forces during more than 10 day
of violence. Both men stressei
support for Israel.
Gore, who has been buffetei
by allegations that he embellishe
the facts, readily offered a me
culpa after Lehrer raised the issu
in a question to Bush, and th
governor read from a 1988 stai
memo to then-Sen. Gore to b
careful about getting facts right.
“I can’t promise I will neve
get another detail wrong. I caj
promise you I will do my best i
I’m elected president; I will wor
by heart out to get it right for th
American people,” Gore said.
Asked if he was satisfied wit]
the explanation, Bush said
“That’s up to the American peo
pile, isn’t it”
In fact, both men committei
errors of fact during the evening
proceedings.
“I think that we shouli
require states to test all students,
Gore said, even though his educa
tion proposals do not requir
mandatory testing of all student;
j 7 cam promise you I
will do my best if I’m
elected president; I
I will work by heart out
to get it right for the
\ American people"

s He merely recommends that
i states do that.
For his part, Bush misstated
i the acronym for a federal tax pro
s gram to benefit low-income wage
i earners, calling it “IETC instead of
; • EITC.”
» The debate was nearly half
f over before Lehrer turned his
5 attention to domestic issues, and
when he asked about health care,
r Gore pounced.
! “I’m, sorry to tell you that
f there is a record here,” the vice
< president said, “and Texas ranks
> 49th out of the 50 states in chil
dren with health care, 49th for
^ women with health and 50th for
families with health care.”
While they differed on some
points, the rivals took care to
i avoid snapping at one another -
s and Gore jettisoned the audible
sighs that he used in their first
i debate to register disagreement
" with comments made by Bush. So
tame were the proceedings, that
» at one point, Bush said, “it seems
i. like we’re having a big love fest”
LPS substitute teacher faces
sexual assault
A Lincoln Public Schools
substitute teacher was arrested
Tuesday for sexually assaulting a
14-year-old girl.
Police arrested Myron
Robertson, 41,4645 Lowell Ave.,
for an Oct. 1 incident involving
two 14-year-old girls at his
home, Lincoln Police Officer
Katherine Finnell said.
Robertson had been a sub
stitute teacher at the middle
school the girls attend earlier
this year. Then he communicat
ed with the girls over the
Internet and through e-mail,
Finnell said.
On Oct. 1, the two girls went
to Robertson’s house where he
showed them a pornographic
video and then had sex with one
of the girls, Finnell said.
Former jail employee arrest
ed for deception
A former jail employee was
arrested Tuesday for falsifying a
$1,515 deposit receipt at the
Lancaster County jail.
Dana Thompson, 22,3014 P
St., was arrested for attempted
theft by deception after she tried
to credit the motley to an
inmate’s account even though
no money was received by the
jail.
An employee noticed a
problem with the receipt
Thompson had submitted,
Finnell said.
Finnell said Thompson and
the inmate had a relationship of
some kind before the man was
arrested, though the inmate did
not know about Thompson’s
deception.

Johanns proclaims U.N. Day
■Governor declares October 24
as a day to recognize the group's
contributions to the state.
BY CHARLIE KAUFFMAN
In recognition of the United
Nations’ contributions to the
lives of Nebraskans and their
promotion of peace and equali
ty, Gov. Mike Johanns pro
claimed Oct. 24 United Nations
Day.
"The principle mandate of
the United Nations is to save
succeeding generations from
the scourge of war,” Johanns
said Wednesday.
Marj Manglitz, special
observances chairwoman for
the project, said U.N. Day
would promote a culture of
peace and understanding,
stemming from the local level.
"We need to work first with
ourselves and then with our
neighbors to create a culture of
peace where we care about each
other,” Manglitz said. “We need
to start thinking globally and
acting locally.”
As a result of the proclama
tion, Johanns will send letters to
the mayors of 32 Nebraska
cities, encouraging them to
meet with city leaders to pro
mote community discussion of
peace, equity and human
rights.
Manglitz promoted an
online manifesto that users
could sign to show their sup
port for world peace.
“If we can get thousands of
people to sign in every country,
then it’s going to be harder for
the governments to declare war
on each other,” Manglitz said.
"If we can help take care of
everybody’s human rights, then
we’ll all win.”

Grunge fad slowly fades
■The music that once rocked
Seattle has made the way for
more edectic and vibrant
sounds to enter the music scene.
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SEATTLE - It’s a pretty good
clue that your music is “over”
when it becomes a museum
exhibit.
And if it weren’t enough that
the beer-soaked relics of
Seattle’s grunge-rock heyday are
captured under glass at the new
Experience Music Project, con
sider this recent advertisement
from an auto-repair chain:
“The only grunge left around
here is under your hood.”
While the anguished, slow
grinding sound of Nirvana,
Soundgarden and Alice in
Chains may be a thing of the
recent past, the Seattle music
scene is far from dead. In fact,
the disappearance of the flan
nel-shirt-and-cutoffs crowd has
cleared the wav for a vibrant,
eclectic mix of new sounds.
“Even though it doesn’t
seem to attract the sort of atten
tion it did eight or nine years ago
when Nirvana broke, there’s still
a lot going on here,” said Joe
Ehrbar, editor for The Rocket, a
weekly that has been covering
Seattle’s music since most
grunge superstars were in dia
pers.
“In some ways, it’s great,
because without that national
spotlight beaming on Seattle,
people don’t have to be so self
conscious,” he said. "They can
do their own thing and not have
to worry about the industry
watching their every move. That
was one of the downsides of
grunge.”
Scott McCaughey, 45, whose
pop group the Young Fresh
Fellows developed a national
following but never approached
the popularity of the grungies,
thinks the current Seattle scene
is defined by its lack of a defin
ing sound.
“There’s lots of roots, coun
try, rockabilly, pop and noise
bands. There’s no one kind of
scene,” he said.
Weeds now grow in the lot of
the long-shuttered grunge insti
tution the RCKNDY, and its
equally renowned neighbor, the
Off Ramp, has gone through
some changes, emerging most
recently as Graceland.
The Crocodile Cafe, which
always drew the more pop side
of the scene, has survived intact.
“We’re by far the last from
the heyday," said Stephanie
Dorgan, who founded the club
in 1991 after a brief career as an
attorney. She can recall when it
seemed as if every local band
was trying to catch the grunge
wave.
i ne diversity s sun mere,
but now everyone's being what
they are,” she said.
A recent Friday night show at
the Crocodile featured an eclec
tic lineup. lyson Meade opened
with a solo guitar-and-voice
performance, followed by Essex
Porder - named for a local TV
newsman - who romped their
way through a harder, pop-punk
set, and an acoustic set by Ken
Stringfellow and Jon Auer of the
Posies, another local pop group
that reached only the verge of
stardom in the '90s.
“There’s a lot going on here,”
said Cory Gutch, 25, who caught
the Posies show and plays guitar
for The Turn-Ons, a group trying
to break into the club circuit.
“There’s a feeling that there’s
something bubbling up.”
Essex Porder members
moved to Seattle from Fort
Smith, Ark., in 1995, a year after
the shotgun suicide of Nirvana
front man Kurt Cobain - cited by
many as the beginning of the
end for grunge. That was also
the time when Pearl Jam,
In some ways, it’s
great, because
without that national
spotlight beaming on
Seattle, people don’t
have to be so self
conscious" They can
do their own thing
and not have to worry
about the industry
watching their every
move."
Joe Ehrbar
editor, The Rocket
Soundgarden and other mega
groups were keeping Seattle at
center stage.
Bass player Sean Becker, 25,
whose bobbing bald head and
on-his-back flourishes made a
visual impact for Essex Porder
on stage, said it's still possible
for a band to get noticed in
Seattle. He cited Modest Mouse,
whose major-label debut was
just released on Epic.
"They've been working hard
for years,” he said.
Other up-and-comers cited
by scene observers include
Death Cab for Cutie, Pedro the
Lion and 764 Hero.
Seattle will continue to pro
duce high-profile bands, Ehrbar
predicted, but it’s unlikely to
become the center of the rock
universe again.
“Remember, the kind of
music that came out of here was
something that no one had ever
heard,” he said. “Now, with the
Internet especially, everyone
knows what’s going on. I think
it’s going to happen somewhere
else, if it ever happens again,
and it’s going to be a totally dif
ferent kind of music.”
