IN NORTH CREEK
By John Grybos jgrybos@denpubs.com NEWCOMB — The final tallies for primary elections are completed, and successful candidates ar e pr epping for the big show in November. In Newcomb, long-time highway supervisor Mark Yandon was defeated for the Democratic line by John Helms, 43-60. Yandon will still be on the ballot on the Independent line. Helms said he has gr eat respect for Yandon, and thinks he's in for a tight race. “It'll c ome r ight d own t o the last vote; every vote's going to matter,” he said. Helms, a lifelong Newcombite, worked for the highway department for 10 years, then left to work in the private sector with a trucking business and landscaping company. Now, he'd like to get back to working on the roads. He said he's been campaigning door-to-door, and will keep it up so he can hear r esidents' concerns. Hamilton County's District Attorney race bid farewell to W illiam Intemann Jr., who was out-voted Delaware kid Mickey McKinney is the first-ever champ of Indian Lake’s Moose Calling Contest. Awarded following the competition in the Indian Lake Thenearly thr ee-to-one by supporters of Marsha Pur due, ater Sept. 24, judge and author Ed Kanze noted that McKinney reached the highest volume of the contestants.

By John Grybos jgrybos@denpubs.com NORTH CREEK — It’s not hard to imagine that a mixed martial arts fighter would be an expert on bullying, b ut Tom M urphy i sn’t a n a uthority on the subject from a how-to viewpoint. “I absolutely despise fighting,” Murphy said.
What he trains for is competition, like chess or hockey , not a battle waged for anger or meanness. “Nothing br eaks my heart like people actually fighting,” he said. CONTINUED ON PAGE 2
