Aurora Joplin: Quidditch Player Extraordinaire
Harry Potter-mania is sweeping the nation yet again, and Chapel Hill is not immune: as WCHL reported last weekend, a group of UNC students have started their own Quidditch team. For those of you who don’t know, Quidditch is a soccer-style game played on flying broomsticks–and given that fact, we were not surprised to learn that one of our own commentators is a founding member of the UNC Quidditch Club. And so, joining us again today, is local Quidditch sensation–and Carrboronian extraordinaire–Ms. Aurora Joplin.
Painted Chair Animal Rescue
The Independent Animal Rescue will hold its eighth annual Painted Chair and More Auction later this month. With us to talk about the specifics of the event is Independent Animal Rescue High School Intern Myron Maclaine.
The Fuuuuture of Chapel Hill
World Cup season has come to an end, and in case you were wondering: we didn’t win. But the big winner at this year’s World Cup wasn’t a team at all—but an octopus. Yes, Paul the Octopus, the world-famous tentacled seer who successfully called the outcome of every single World Cup game. And we thought, hey, since he’s so great at predicting soccer matches, why not ask him to predict the fuuuture of Chapel Hill!
The Response Letter
Last week, the mayor of Morganton, Mel Cohen, wrote a letter to the Chapel Hill News blasting the Town Council for neglecting downtown, lamenting the closure of the Chapel Hill Museum—among other things—and generally complaining that Chapel Hill is in serious decline. Mayor Mark Kleinschmidt responded with a letter of his own defending Chapel Hill, but we here at DSI Witness News have managed to obtain the original first draft of Mayor Kleinschmidt’s letter, and we’d like to read it for you now.
We’re gonna see Joe Biden!
We bring you the headlines. Oh, yeah, we brought them.
Old Man Healy

The Pork Council Regulators
A bill aimed at combating puppy mills by regulating commercial dog breeders in North Carolina failed last week for the second straight year, in part due to a surprising adversary: The N.C. Pork Council. Here with a comment is N.C. Pork Council spokesperson, Gordana Swino. Welcome.
Erskine Bowles Sings
Local author Jeffrey Deaver has been tapped to write the next James Bond novel, and we here at DSI Witness News couldn’t be more excited. In fact, we were hoping to have Jeffrey Deaver here today to read some of the book for us, but a series of unfortunate circumstances forced him to cancel at the last minute. So, instead, please enjoy three minutes of Erskine Bowles singing The Battle Hymn of the Republic. Take it away.
