Authorities here Monday identified a dismembered body found last week in a county dump as that of Linda M. Cope, 33, formerly of Brevard. Georgetown County medical examiner Mack Williams said Tuesday that Cope's body was identified through dental records and a composite photograph. Cope's body was found in plastic bags June 22 by workers at the county landfill shortly before it would have been processed through a trash shredder, Williams said. At the time the body was found, Williams said Cope had been dead a maximum 72 hours, "but probably less than 12." Cope had been living in Columbia, Williams said, adding that he did not know when she had moved from Brevard.
The Georgetown County Sheriff's Department was investigating, Williams said. Sailor Is Burned On Floor Of Brig SAN DIEGO (AP) A 20-year-old sailor suffered second-degree burns along his left arm when guards threw him onto the unusually hot floor of the brig at the 32nd Street Naval Station. The floor is heated to 135 degrees, reportedly by pipes beneath through the concrete foundation. Larry Destefano, who is from Guam, developed an infection as a result of his burns, a Naval Hospital spokesman said. According to Destefano, he demanded a mattress to sleep on Thursday and took a swing at a guard who threatened him before others wrestled him to the floor.

(AP Photo) Storm Threat Forces Closing Of N.C. Compete Weather Report On Pages NAGS HEAD (AP) Three beaches on North Carolina's Outer Banks were closed Tuesday as the second tropical storm of the 1981 Atlantic hurricane season, named Bret, formed off the coast. Gale warnings were posted from Cape Hatteras, N.C., to Ocean City, Md.
Forecasters said significant strengthening of the storm before it reached the coast late Tuesday night was unlikely. At 4 p.m. EDT, the storm was centered near latitude 36.1 north and longitude 73.8 west, about 120 miles eastnortheast of Cape Hatteras, the National Weather Service said. Highest sustained winds were 60 mph in squalls near the center, with gales extending 100 miles from the It was moving west at 15 mph and its center pected to move inland near the North Carolina and Virginia border late Tuesday. Beaches at Nags Head, Kitty Hawk and Kill Devil Hills were ordered closed to swimmers because of high waves and severe rip currents.
The storm did not appear to pose a serious threat, hurricane forecaster Gil Clark said in Miami. "Looking at it, it's very small so if it did go inland it would cover a small area," Clark said. Jan Price, a meterologist at the National Weather Service in Raleigh, said a band of rain that worked its way through the Piedmont on Tuesday morning was associated with the storm system. He said the system could bring more rain to North Carolina during the next few days. This year's first tropical storm, Arlene, formed in May near the Cayman Islands south of Cuba, three weeks before the official start of the hurricane season on June 1.
The next tropical storm this year will be named Carla. For a tropical depression to gain tropical storm status it must generate sustained surface winds ranging from 39 to 73 mph. With sustained winds of 74 mph it would be classified a hurricane. Education News Hearing Programs Need Volunteers Asheville school officials, faced with the loss of a speech and hearing therapist's position, are seeking volunteers to assist next fall in citywide hearing screening programs in city schools. The screenings are conducted annually to detect potential hearing loss and other hearing-related problems among students.

With the loss of one therapist, some 500 hours of volunteer time will be needed, according to Sarah Pierce, chairman of the Asheville schools' speech and hearing services department. "Individuals can volunteer or if a civic organization, area business or industry wants to get involved, that's great, too," she said. "We want clerks, housewives, bank tellers, Training sessions for the volunteers will be conducted prior to the first round of screenings in early September, she said.

Pierce at 255-5314 or 255-5315, Monday through Friday.
