(AP) — The nearly one foot of rain dropped by Hurricane Irene is all but guaranteed to bring another round of flooding to North Carolina later this week, de moralizing people still reeling from Hurricane Floyd a month ago. “You get lifted up and the next thing you know, something else hap pens,” Karen Mabry, who was flood ed out of her mobile home by Floyd and was kept out by Irene yesterday, said. She has been staying in an apartment supplied by the Red Cross but has had trouble sleeping. “I keep waking up and looking out the window to make sure noth ing else is happening,” she said. “It’s just terrible. It’s horrible.” Barely hurricane strength, Irene soaked North Carolina’s soggy coastal plain Sunday with up to 11 inches of rain before veering out into the At lantic without ever coming ashore. Irene was blamed for one death in North Carolina, a motorist whose vehicle skidded into a tree. At least eight other people died as a result of the storm, five of them in Florida. The rains once again sent streams from their banks and promised to produce more serious flooding later this week as runoff drains into the Tar, Neuse and Cape Fear rivers. For the past two months, it has been one thing after another in east ern North Carolina. First there was Hurricane Dennis, which battered the coast for a week before corning inland and dumping up to 8 inches of rain. T\vo weeks later, Floyd poured 20 inches of rain on the region, causing 49 deaths here and the worst flood ing in state history. Eight more inch es fell less than two weeks after that. Irene came next. To help flood victims cope, the Red Cross has sent 244 mental health workers to eastern North Carolina — Petition to recall Ventura dismissed by chief justice ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — A pe tition to recall Gov. Jesse Ventura was dismissed yesterday by Min nesota’s chief justice, who said the ex-wrestler did not do anything wrong by making money off a book deal and public appearances. The recall petition — the first in the state since it became legal in 1996 — was filed by environmen talist Leslie Davis, an unsuccess ful write-in candidate for governor last year. Davis claimed Ventura com mitted malfeasance by using the prestige of his office to secure a better book deal and a higher price for his return to the wrestling ring and by taking gifts and favors from his book publish er and wrestling promoter. Supreme Court Chief Justice Kathleen Blatz said the allegations did not constitute grounds for a re call. She ruled that the governor’s actions either were not within his official duties, or they were not il legal or wrongful. Ventura spokesperson John Wodele said the ruling went as expected. “The governor has always sep arated his private ventures from his responsibility as governor,” he said. Davis said he is done with Ventura now and plans to return to his environmental work. He had unsuccessfully tried to have Ventura prosecuted through the attorney general’s office, two counties and the city of Min neapolis.
