A semicolon should be placed in a sentence with two clauses relating to the same subject where a conjunction is not used. Example:

"The teapot has a crack in it. The teapot was cracked when it was dropped."

Using a semicolon, we can say:

"The teapot has a crack; it was dropped."

to simplify the sentence. Though not as clear as the two sentences alone, the compound sentence gets to the point directly.

At least I think that's how it works. xD

As to your question, Peter, I'm not sure if the use of the possessive is correct or incorrect in that instance. I'll ask my news writing instructor tomorrow.
