5 positions, including superintendent of schools, still open.

The Labor Day Holiday is the final holiday of the summer and signals the fall election season is quickly approaching. For several local political candidates, this is the time of year to make the final push toward collecting more votes to secure seats in the November election. There will be five local contested races on the Nov. 6 ballot where candidates are in a runoff to secure a political post. Runoff races will take place for three county commission posts, for the super- intendent of schools post and for a school board position. The superintendent of schools race proved to be the most competitive race on the ballot during the Aug. 14 primary election with only 44 votes separating the candidates. The race features Terry Huddleston and Glenn Hunter competing for the position. During the primary Hunter secured FILE 33.8 percent of the vote, with 4,573 votes, Kayakers are seen soaking up the beauty of the Ichetucknee River.

But she is free to check out this match again after she won in straight sets Saturday. The fourth-seeded American won 6-4, 6-0, avenging her straight-set defeat in the Australian Open’s fourth round. When they played in January, Williams had seven double-faults and 37 unforced errors. Saturday’s numbers were one and 16. 4BSports

BY RAISSA IOUSSOUF Associated Press

LONDON — Prosthetics can change the life of an amputee. But when an old limb no longer fits or just gets worn out, it can be hard to part ways with an item that offered the liberating chance to jump, dance or simply walk. Priscilla Sutton has a solution: turn these “pre-loved” limbs into artwork. The Australian curator came up with “Spare Parts London,” an exhibition of altered prosthet- ics that has opened in time for the Paralympics, which start Wednesday. “I was cleaning my home and I found two old legs in my cupboard,” said Sutton, a below-the-knee amputee. “I thought it was a bit crazy to keep hoarding my legs.” The exhibition, which includes works by artists from Britain, Australia, the United States and Japan, comes as people are paying new attention to the devices. Public awareness of prosthetics has been heightened by the popularity of double amputee Olympic sprinter Oscar Pistorius, the South African known as the “Blade Runner.” The exhibition will showcase the “Cheetah” — the carbon fiber running leg Pistorius uses that has a flex foot designed to replicate the hind leg of the fastest animal on land. The show also displays arms and legs hanging from the ceiling and others in glass cabinets. A creation by British artist Rachel Ball features a little girl’s leg cov- ered in colorful crochet and painted with henna on the ASSOCIATED PRESS Priscilla Sutton, curator of the Spare Parts exhibition poses with some of the art work that has been all based on artists using ARTISTS continued on 6D prosthetic limbs that will be included in the show, at her home during a interview with the Associated Press in London, Tuesday. 4DLIFE
